I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

With a proud look on his face, Kangxi strode into the Golden Palace with his head held high.

He made no secret of the miraculous changes that had taken place in him, as if he wanted to announce it to the whole world.

He just wants to mislead everyone into thinking that he is young and healthy and can live for decades more.

Once upon a time, his sons coveted the throne so much that they even killed each other and their own flesh and blood.

This is because everyone thinks that the emperor will not live long and they think they have an opportunity to take advantage of it, so they are caught in endless fighting.

However, now, Kangxi has miraculously regained his youth. Although his lifespan has not changed, such a change is enough to deter those with ulterior motives.

In this way, his throne will be more stable and no one can easily shake it.

At this moment, Kangxi looked even younger than his eldest grandson Hongxi. If someone who didn't know the inside story saw him, they might think he could live another fifty or sixty years.

In this case, why would those princes have to fight for the throne? Perhaps they would not live to see the emperor's death.

Kangxi enjoyed the feeling of having everything under control, and all of this was brought to him by the little Qilin.

Kangxi suddenly felt a little regretful that the reward he gave to Cheng Ge'er was a little too little.

He made up his mind that after dealing with the four kings of the east, west, south and north, he would make Cheng Ge'er the king.

By then, no one would be able to threaten him anymore, and he could openly pamper Cheng'er and give him endless wealth and glory.

When his life span is over and his tribulations are over and he returns to heaven, he can take Cheng Ge'er with him.

Although they were not born on the same day of the same month of the same year, they could die on the same day of the same month of the same year, and be reborn after death.

They can return to heaven and become immortals. Not only will they have endless lifespans, they can also move mountains and fill the sea, and turn their hands into clouds and their hands into rain.

Kangxi fantasized about the wonderful life after death and almost laughed out loud.

If Jia Cheng knew what Kangxi was thinking, he would definitely spit at him, "What are you dreaming of? I painted a pie for you and forged your identity, but you took it seriously. You really think you are a god."

He hasn't lived enough, and you still want to take him away? Grandma!

Kangxi smiled and looked at the ministers who were lowering their heads, waiting for everyone to discover today's surprise.

The first person to notice the changes in Kangxi was his second brother Fuquan.

Fuquan was absent-mindedly doing his homework. When he looked up, he suddenly saw a young version of Kangxi sitting on the dragon throne and almost screamed out loud.

Fuquan was extremely shocked: "Eternal Heaven! Who is this? How come he looks exactly like the emperor? He just looks a few dozen years younger.

Which prince has the guts to sit on the throne? Could it be... this is the emperor?"

Fuquan took a deep breath, and finally couldn't hold back his inner astonishment, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, why have you changed?"

Following Fuquan's shout, everyone raised their heads and looked towards the dragon throne.

Then, everyone looked shocked!

"Who is this?" someone murmured in a low voice.

"Emperor Father?" The prince was so surprised that he almost bit his tongue.

Hong Xi was also stunned. How come Grandpa Emperor suddenly looked so different? He even looked younger than himself. Could it be the legendary old age with charm?

A crack appeared on Yinzhen's usually serious face. Is this really the emperor? He couldn't believe his eyes.

Some ministers with wild imaginations even questioned whether the person sitting on the dragon throne was the emperor.

Last night the emperor was still very old, like an old man half buried in the ground. How come he has turned into a young man in his twenties today?

This is too weird, how can they believe it?

The people present were talking a lot, and it was as noisy as a vegetable market.

Kangxi looked at the astonished ministers and secretly rejoiced. Then he coughed softly, pretended to be serious, and whispered:

"What? Don't you recognize me? I just became a little younger, not much different!" After saying this, Kangxi showed a smug expression.

When the ministers heard what Kangxi said, they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts: "How can he just look younger? He is completely reborn and looks brand new!"

However, they dared not say it out loud and could only complain secretly in their hearts.

The tenth prince Yin, who had always been upright, finally couldn't help but question, "Father, you are not only younger, you are completely different! Are you really my father?"

The ninth prince Yinzhen couldn't help but look at Kangxi with a suspicious look, and echoed: "Yes, Father Huang, you have changed so much overnight, it's hard for us to avoid having some doubts."

When Kangxi heard what his two sons said, he could not help but snort and said angrily: "You two rebellious sons, you don't even recognize your own father!"

Then he glanced at his other sons and grandchildren in the audience and found that they all seemed to be questioning him.

Kangxi shook his head helplessly, cleared his throat, and decided to reveal some things to prove his identity.

He looked at the ninth prince Yinzhen and said, "Old Nine, you only think about doing business and competing with the people for profits all day long. How can you achieve great things if you continue like this?

I have really been too doting and indulgent towards you. You have been a lawless and wanton devil since you were a child.

Not only did he cut off the tail and shaved all the hair of the dog raised by your fourth brother, he even made your fourth brother cry.

And you, Old Ten! You two have been arrogant and domineering since you were young, causing me countless troubles and countless disasters. Do you still want me to list them one by one?"

After hearing this, Lao Jiu and Lao Shi immediately calmed down, but they still had doubts.

Kangxi then glanced at Yinzhen, whose face was cold and stiff, and continued, "Fourth Brother, I remember that when the Ninth Brother cut off the dog's tail, you cut off the Ninth Brother's braid as revenge.

I reprimanded you a few times at that time, but you were unconvinced and kept arguing with me.

I said at the time that you were frivolous and moody, and since then you have always had a stern face.

Over the years, you have worked diligently and willingly, and I have seen it all. You are a steady and capable person."

These two sentences almost made Yinzhen burst into tears, and he finally got rid of the moody comments.

As Kangxi revealed some little secrets of the princes and ministers, everyone finally confirmed that the person sitting on the dragon throne was the emperor.

After everyone confirmed Kangxi's identity, they all looked at him with burning eyes.

Fuquan even asked boldly: "May I ask, Your Majesty, what kind of magic elixir did you take to be able to regain your youth? I almost didn't recognize Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Kangxi burst into laughter, his pride was beyond words, and he almost raised his tail to the sky.

He looked at Fuquan and said with a smile: "Second brother, I grew up with you, how could you not recognize me?

I just got an opportunity by chance, which made me become a little younger. "

Fuquan cursed Kangxi dog in his heart. He didn't just become a little younger. He had clearly returned to his youth.

Once people get older, who doesn’t want to have a youthful appearance and a healthy body?

As he thought about it, he wondered what delicious food the emperor had eaten and wanted to get some to try himself.

However, how could Kangxi make his little secret with Jia Cheng public?

However, everyone was not stupid, and they could naturally guess that the reason why the emperor had such a huge change must be related to someone.

Just yesterday, Ryan Earl, who had disappeared for five years, suddenly showed up. His glittering and colorful clothes and his lotus-like footsteps all indicated that his identity was extraordinary.

The Japanese envoy who was hacked into a charred corpse and the Japanese geisha who is still unconscious today all show that Earl Ryan has great power.

The emperor became younger overnight. It must be that Earl Ryan brought him a magic medicine, which might be the elixir of immortality that Qin Shihuang had been looking for.

Everyone's heart suddenly became hot.

Fucha Maqi's eyes rolled slightly, then he bowed and said to Emperor Kangxi:

"Your Majesty, yesterday the Japanese envoy actually sent a dancer to assassinate you. This is a heinous crime! He deserves death!

Now that the culprit has been killed by Earl Rui'an, we can send envoys to Japan to hold them accountable.

The situation was dangerous yesterday, and the thief almost succeeded. Thanks to Earl Rui'an, I beg the emperor to reward Earl Rui'an generously."

When everyone heard this, they stepped forward and expressed their agreement: "Yes, Your Majesty, Earl Ryan's contribution to saving the emperor this time is indeed a great deed, and he deserves a generous reward.

Besides, he is 12 years old now, not a -year-old child. He can definitely serve as an official in the court and make contributions to the Qing Dynasty."

Emperor Kangxi couldn't help feeling proud when he heard the ministers praising Jia Cheng.

He nodded with satisfaction and said, "My dear ministers, what you said is very true, but today I have promoted Earl of Rui'an to Duke of Rui as a reward.

As for entering the court as an official, I still have to see what Duke Rui’s wishes are, and I will make a decision after I ask him.”

As soon as Kangxi said this, all the ministers fell silent and could not help but marvel at his words.

It seems that Duke Rui is really favored by the emperor. Even the emperor, who has always been autocratic, has to listen to his opinions. We must make friends with Duke Rui in the future.

The key point is that Duke Rui is not an ordinary person. He must be a person with a great background. We dare not offend him and we cannot offend him.

Jia Cheng watched what happened in the court with a gossipy eye, and thought of something interesting.

Originally, he only expressed his true feelings to certain people. If he were to serve as an official in the court and open his thoughts to all officials, wouldn't he be able to easily stir up the situation in the capital?

Jia Cheng knows how to have fun.
