Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 271: Prince 8 Killing an Eagle
The Fourth Prince had always ignored the minor fights in the backyard. Regarding Feng Ruozhao's choice, the Fourth Prince just calmly said three words, "Useless."
Originally, the Fourth Prince wanted to support Feng Ruozhao to compete with Nian Shilan. However, although Feng Ruozhao seemed to have a good chance of success, he was actually suppressed by Nian Shilan and Qi Yuebin and had no power to fight back.
Qi Yuebin finally fell, Nian Shilan has no military advisor, and Feng Ruozhao is still not good enough. How can he not be useless?
But it doesn’t matter. Although Feng Ruozhao didn’t play a role, Li Jingyan and Lu Yingfeng pushed by Yixiu were still useful.
Although Li Jingyan was not smart enough, he was determined to make things difficult for Nian Shilan. With the help of Lu Yingfeng, the two sides were evenly matched. He formed a triangle with Yixiu, who was watching the fight from afar.
Of course, the so-called triangle situation is just an illusion that Yixiu created for the Fourth Prince to see. Lu Yingfeng is Yixiu's man, so he can naturally bring Li Jingyan to serve Yixiu when needed.
But none of this matters. What matters is that it is the autumn hunting season again, and Kangxi is bringing his entire family to Mulan Paddock to hunt again.
"Swoosh", a fast feather shot into the sika deer's eyes like lightning, and quickly passed through the sika deer, nailing it to the ground.
The third prince was the most enthusiastic. "The emperor is so heroic that I would have thought he was a dragon flying between heaven and earth."
The Ninth Prince secretly rolled his eyes, what a flatterer!
Kangxi accepted the compliment from the Third Prince with great pleasure, "Your riding and archery skills should not be neglected. I will give a generous reward to the one who wins first place today!"
Encouraged by Kangxi, the people participating in the hunt scattered in search of prey.
Only Liang Jiugong, who was following behind Kangxi, saw Kangxi's right hand, which was hidden behind his back and couldn't stop shaking. Kangxi's hand shaking problem naturally could not be known to outsiders, so even if he was uncomfortable, Kangxi still pulled the bow and quickly shot the sika deer to show that he was still majestic.
But feeling the numbness in his right hand, Kangxi lost interest after all. However, the emperor never showed his emotions on his face, so no one could tell that he was indifferent and loyal.
In this atmosphere, the Eighth Prince, who had stayed in the capital because of the third anniversary of Concubine Liang's death, rushed a gift to Kangxi overnight: a pair of Saker Falcons in their prime that were caught in the Dragon's Rise.
Of course, this cannot be said of Kangxi, how could it be a capture? The eighth prince wrote very sincerely in his memorial.
"I didn't know what to look for to please my father, so I sent people to look for it in my hometown. I never expected that a pair of mature Gyrfalcons would fly down from Mount Changbai. They didn't panic and run away when they saw people, but took the initiative to follow them into the cage. The divine creatures have spirits, and they must be looking for the messengers from the human world."
The Eighth Prince's words made Kangxi regain his good mood. How could Kangxi not know that a Saker Falcon could not be docile? The so-called initiative was just the Eighth Prince's praise for Kangxi's meritorious service.
Kangxi was so happy that he ordered excitedly, "Hurry up and bring the Saker Falcon to us!"
Birds are good at responding to emergencies, so in order to prevent birds from dying of fright during long journeys, a layer of opaque cloth is often covered on the outside of the birdcage.
Two guards brought up the large cage, and one of them took off the black cloth. However, there was no strong and mature Saker Falcon in the cage, only two listless, gray-haired, dying eagles.
Kangxi was furious, "What is the Eighth Brother trying to do? Curse me?"
The dynasty was already in a state of panic over the matter of the curse on the deposed crown prince. When Kangxi said this, the servants inside and outside the tent knelt on the ground.
This was not enough. Kangxi gasped and said, "Go and call all my sons over here, and let them see how their good brother curses me!"
The princes who followed Kangxi to hunt soon arrived.
When the princes walked into the tent, they could see the iron cage in the middle of the tent and the dead eagle in the cage. Kangxi, with a grim face, was sitting in the main seat.
When the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince knew that the Eighth Prince had given them a Saker Falcon today, their eyes widened. How could a healthy Saker Falcon turn into a dead eagle?
The Ninth Prince, knowing that something bad had happened, immediately knelt on the ground to defend the Eighth Prince, "Father, the Eighth Prince's loyalty to you is known to all. This is clearly a frame-up!"
Kangxi threw a cup directly, hitting the Ninth Prince on the forehead. Fortunately, the tea was already cold, otherwise the Ninth Prince would have been disfigured.
"Rebellious son, you remember to defend Old Eighth when you see this dirty thing, but do you still remember that I am your Royal Father? Have you ever worried about me?"
The tenth prince stood in front of the ninth prince and said, "Ninth brother, I have absolutely no such intention. I am just afraid that the emperor has been deceived by the evil people."
Another teacup flew out and hit the Tenth Prince on the chest. "Old Tenth Prince, do you mean that I am a tyrant who cannot judge people and distinguish between loyalty and treachery?"
Who dares to respond to this?
In such silence, Kangxi spoke, "Aisin-Gioro Yinsi was born to a lowly woman in Xinzheku. He has been arrogant and sinister since childhood. He listened to the words of the fortune teller Zhang Mingde, and then betrayed me and hired someone to murder the second prince. The whole country knows about it. He killed the second prince without thinking about me.
When I was ill, the ministers recommended the Eighth Prince. I had no choice but to release Yinreng, who could not be enthroned. I was extremely depressed for several years. Yinsi still wanted to fulfill his original intention, and formed a group with traitors and traitors, secretly doing evil things, saying that I was old and had not many years left. When it came to telling the truth, he had been recommended by others, so who would dare to argue? So he thought he was safe. "
These words mentioned several things. The first was about the fortune teller Zhang Mingde. Not only did he dare to read the Eighth Prince's face, he also dared to privately propose to assassinate the prince. However, it was said at the time that Zhang Mingde was in collusion with the eldest prince, and no one knew how Kangxi found out that the Eighth Prince was also involved, and he had endured it for many years.
Later, the Eighth Prince contacted most of the court officials to make him the crown prince. Even Kangxi admitted that he had no choice but to make him the crown prince because the Eighth Prince was too powerful. However, the Eighth Prince still did not give up and colluded with the ministers to form a clique, saying that Kangxi was old and who would dare to compete with the Eighth Prince? Everyone was just trying to protect themselves.
Kangxi's words were heartbreaking and revealed all the secrets about the Eighth Prince.
"Old Nine, Old Ten, do you have anything else to say in defense of your brother?"
The Ninth Prince opened and closed his lips several times, but finally closed his mouth at the Tenth Prince's silent hint.
Seeing that no one dared to refute, Kangxi said something even more heartless, "From now on, the love between Yinsi and I as father and son is over."
Now not only the Ninth and Tenth Princes, but the rest of the princes also pleaded, "Father, please think twice before you act!"
Kangxi stared at them one by one, "How come you are also the followers of the sinner who has no regard for the emperor and father? Or do you also have rebellious thoughts in your heart?"
Who dares to say anything? The world-famous "Eight Wise Kings" fell just like that.
