Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 321 Kangxi's Death

Prince Kang Baertu took the order and left, but it was not so easy to investigate, and it could even be complicated, from the most superficial Prince Yong's Mansion to the obvious scapegoats such as the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince. In the end, it seemed to point to the people in the Eighth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion.

After listening to Prince Kang's report, the Eighth Prince's face suddenly changed. The Ninth Prince defended the Eighth Prince, "If it was really the Eighth Prince who did it, how could the investigation results point to the Eighth Prince? Someone must have framed the Eighth Prince!" Although he said there was someone, the Ninth Prince directly turned his gaze to the Fourth Prince.

As a member of the royal family, Prince Kang would never be the emperor no matter who was elected, so he never got involved in the fight for the throne. Now, the Ninth Prince was accusing the Fourth Prince, which was Prince Kang's attempt to protect the Fourth Prince.

Prince Kang hastened to defend himself, "The person who first spread the rumor found the reward silver from Prince Yong's mansion in his home, but after checking the account records, we found that the reward silver was specially made by Prince Yong's mansion to give to various places as a gift during the Chinese New Year last year. The reward silver has plum blossom and chrysanthemum patterns on it, and it was given to Prince Cheng and Prince Heng.

However, it was found out that the people who gave out the reward money in Prince Cheng's and Prince Heng's mansions had died suddenly at home. After careful investigation, it was discovered that it was Mr. Jia, who used to be an aide in the Eighth Prince's mansion and was now a teacher in the Fourteenth Prince's mansion. He actually got in touch with them through the opportunity of visiting prostitutes in Tianxiang Tower.

Besides, I just found out that there is a connection, and I didn't mention anyone by name, so why is the Ninth Prince so angry?"

The Ninth Prince wanted to argue with Prince Kang, but was stopped by the Eighth Prince, who knelt respectfully before Kangxi and said, "Father, please understand. I have absolutely no such intention!"

Kangxi sneered, "How dare I doubt the world-famous 'Eighth Wise King'?" This one sentence shook the Eighth Prince to his knees.

Looking at the people in the room, Kangxi didn't want to deal with the Eighth Prince so hastily. After all, family disgrace should not be made public. Suppressing his anger, Kangxi asked everyone to leave, leaving only Longkodo. Seeing Kangxi who was still in good spirits, the court officials tacitly spread the news, and the rumors outside were self-defeating.

But Kangxi knew that he really should make a decision. He looked at Longkodo with an unclear expression, "The Eighth and Fourteenth have a good relationship?"

Longkodo lowered his head and answered, "The Fourteenth Master and the Eighth Master have always been very close."

Kangxi asked meaningfully, "Close! What kind of closeness?"

Longkodo didn't dare to reply, and Kangxi didn't need Longkodo's answer. He waved his hand to let Longkodo leave and sighed deeply. He thought that the fourth and fourteenth brothers were brothers from the same mother and connected by blood, so he thought that they could be of one mind and work together to achieve success.

Isn't this a joke? Can being an emperor be the same as being an emperor for your brother?

Take Kangxi himself for example. His sons were at least princes or dukes, but what about Kangxi's elder brother Fuquan? He earned the title of Prince Yu, but after the title was passed down for three generations and his relationship with the royal family was not close, his title began to be downgraded. By the seventh generation, he was only left with the title of Duke of Zhenguo, and finally died without an heir.

If it were possible, who wouldn't want to be the emperor? Could Kangxi himself calmly say that he was willing to pass the throne to Fuquan?

But Kangxi still did not do anything about it. Perhaps because of his emotional ups and downs, Kangxi had a high fever that night and fell into a coma. The trusted imperial physician who had never left Kangxi's bedroom tried his best to treat him, but in the end he could only shake his head helplessly.

On the morning of the second day, Liang Jiugong was unable to stop him. Longkodo, who was responsible for guarding Kangxi's safety, also knew about it. However, the rumors from the previous few days made Longkodo and Liang Jiugong cautious, so they waited for a whole day. When Kangxi still did not wake up, they gave the news to the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince knew that if he delayed further, something might happen, so he immediately rushed to Changchun Garden. After making sure that everything was under control, he hesitated for a long time, but finally followed Jiang Chen's suggestion and ordered the imperial physician Zhang Mi and the court physician Wen Yao to go to Changchun Garden to treat Kangxi with all their strength and find a way to wake him up. At the same time, he summoned the princes and court officials.

Yixiu, who was always paying attention to the Fourth Prince's actions, looked at the panel and saw that the silver behind 'Zhang Mi and Wen Yao worked together to treat Kangxi and revived him' began to be calculated at ten thousand taels per second. She gritted her teeth and pressed the button. No matter what, Kangxi had to say what he had to say.

In Changchun Garden, in the Fourth Prince's opinion, Zhang Mi and Wen Yao were indeed very capable. After a few injections, Kangxi really moved. The Fourth Prince was shocked and worried that they had really saved Kangxi.

Fortunately, after Zhang Mi and Wen Yao gave the acupuncture, they knelt down and apologized, saying that they could only help the emperor regain consciousness for a few breaths and could not completely save him.

It's good that there is no way to save him! The Fourth Prince was relieved and began to urge people to bring the court officials over quickly.

Finally, when all the people who should have arrived had arrived, Zhang Mi and Wen Yao removed the needles from Kangxi's body. Kangxi slowly woke up. He was extremely aware of the passing of his life, and he waved his hand to let the Fourth Prince come closer.

The fourth prince held Kangxi's hand and called out, "Father Huang, Father Huang."

A surge of strength surged in Kangxi's body. He knew the most important thing now, so he reluctantly said, "Yinzhen, the fourth son of Prince Yong, is a man of noble character, very much like me, and will surely be able to inherit the throne."

The court officials were both surprised and not surprised by this result. The Eighth Prince looked dazed. He had prepared many back-up plans, but now Kangxi was holding the Fourth Prince's hand and conveying his wishes to the court officials. Even if the Eighth Prince had more plans, it would be useless.

The fourth prince burst into tears and called Kangxi again, "Father Huang, Father Huang."

Kangxi held his breath and continued to instruct, "Put the secret decree behind the plaque of 'Zhengda Guangming', and you all go and find it together." After saying this, Kangxi wanted to remind them of the things he was concerned about, such as Baocheng and Hongxi, and the future of his other sons, but Kangxi was no longer able to speak and could only close his eyes unwillingly.

The fourth prince was closest to Kangxi. He trembled and felt Kangxi's breath, then cried out loudly, "Emperor Father!!!"

Liang Jiugong also cried out, "The Emperor has passed away!!!"

Everyone knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty!"

After crying for a while, Longkodo stepped forward and said, "The court situation is still unsettled. Please, Your Majesty, stabilize the court officials."

Fourth Prince, no, the Emperor wiped his tears and asked, "What does Lord Ma Qi think?"

Ma Qi replied respectfully, "The most urgent task now is to move the late emperor to the palace to mourn, find the plaque of "Open and Righteous" and announce the late emperor's secret decree to the world to ensure the safety of the country."

The emperor nodded and said, "Let's follow Lord Ma Qi's advice. Longkodo will be in charge and return to the palace as soon as possible. There is no time to lose."

Longkodo accepted the order neatly and arranged to return to the palace. He said to the princes who were listening to the order with a little pride, "Please come in!"
