It was almost night, but the security around the Qingxi Bookstore in Changchun Garden was many times tighter than usual. Several eunuchs around Kangxi, such as Liu Jinzhong and Chen Fu, were constantly rushing in and out of Kangxi's palace and the side rooms. Their faces were all ugly and tight. In the ear room, the three attendants Ma Qi, Longkodo and Marsai were also very anxious and restless. Marseille was the youngest among the three and the most impatient. After walking around the room twice, he finally couldn't hold it in anymore and grabbed Ma Qi: "Prime Minister Ma Qi is the chief minister of the cabinet. This matter I still need you, the boss, to make some arrangements. My master has been asleep from early morning to now. It is said that he should send someone to invite the elder brothers to come over, just in case" Longkoduo said with a gloomy face. He nodded and said, "I have the same thought. Although the master's oral instructions two days ago only said that he felt a slight cold and stopped complaining, and he would be well after a few days. But the situation in front of him is really dangerous. Just now, Liu Shengfang and Zhao De came to the rescue. Please use heavy medicine. If my brother is not around now, it would be better if the master wakes up, otherwise you and I will be in big trouble." Shao Pavilion, with a flash of light in his eyes, added: "I have strictly ordered the guards and servants in the garden not to give any news of the foreign marriage, otherwise they will be killed."
Although Longkoduo only mentioned five of the ten pauses in his words, who among the people present did not know how powerful it was? Kangxi had drafted a posthumous edict several years ago, but there was no mention of the issue of heirs. Nowadays, no matter Prince Cheng Yinzhi, Prince Yong Yinzhen, or the general Wang Yinzhen in the northwest, all of them are very close relatives of the saints. It is not surprising whoever wins the throne. In addition to these hot topics, Sun Hongxi, the eldest son of the emperor, is always with the emperor. He is also very passionate about his father's lost throne in the East Palace. The twelfth elder brother Beile Yinzhen, who has always been indifferent, has come into great use in recent years. It is difficult to say that it is not within the Sacred Heart. Under this situation, if Kangxi gave up his throne without clear instructions on the succession, would it be possible to summon the Eight Banners relatives and nobles to discuss the establishment of an emperor in this year? If this is true, there will probably be a big scene of brothers and sisters fighting in the imperial city. How could the three of them be able to convince everyone and return to heaven with just the strength of the three of them?
Ma Qi frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Master often says that people from the north should not use ginseng. However, in this situation, I am afraid that if it really comes to the festival, Liu Shengfang's recipe for ginseng soup will also have to be used." , I just hope that the master can come back to his senses as soon as possible." He paused for a moment, and finally seemed to have made up his mind. There was a bit more determination in his words, and he said again: "I just inserted the needle, and after half an hour, the Holy Spirit is still there. If you don't wake up, just use this ginseng soup. In the futureif something happens, I will bear it with all my strength." Longkodo and Marsai looked at each other and were both moved. Longkodo said slowly: "Now the matter is urgent. Liu Shengfang's prescription should be signed by the three of us." Marseille's face twitched slightly, but he said nothing.
At that moment, Wei Zhu hurriedly entered the house, with a joyful look on his face, and said hurriedly: "Three lords, the master has just woken up. Let the three of them come to see you immediately." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison, and looked at each other again, with a layer of sweat on their foreheads, and they all looked pale after losing their strength.
After a little tidying up their court robes, the three of them came out of the ear room and registered in front of the door. Just as they were about to salute, Chen Fu stopped their movements and said softly: "Master, please come forward without courtesy." Led by Ma Qi, the three They walked forward and knelt down in front of Kangxi's bed. When they looked up at Kangxi in front of them, the three of them were shocked and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Kangxi now had to sit half-reclining on the couch, his lips were cyanotic, and there was still a trace of blood foam on the corners of his lips that had not been completely wiped off. His breathing was rapid and heavy, making a faint sound like a bellows. Longko was getting close to Kangxi. At this time, he couldn't bear it anymore and choked up: "Masterhow can this be so good? It's only been a few days, how can it be like this" Seeing that he was so sad that he couldn't help himself, Kangxi wanted to pat him gently. He comforted him with his shoulder, but even the movement of his fingers was extremely difficult. In desperation, he had no choice but to take a deep breath from his chest, and then said with difficulty: "I I have experienced this disaster, and I don't know if I can break through it." Pass."
Seeing this, Ma Qi took half a step forward on his knees. Although there were faint water stains sliding down his cheeks, he still suppressed his emotions and said: "Your Majesty has a long life, and given time, he will definitely be fine But now the Holy Body is sick. , according to the slaves¡¯ thoughts, please ask the Holy One to summon the brothers to enter the garden and serve the king and father to show their filial piety.¡± After a short pause, he added: ¡°Longkodo has deployed the Changchun Garden gate defense to ensure everything is in place.¡±
Kangxi's cloudy eyes showed some brilliance, which was quite a bit of approval. Ma Qi deserves to be a mature minister who plans the country. At the critical juncture, in just a few words, he not only obeyed the principles of ministers and meant to avoid evil and seek good fortune, but also pretended to be filial to the emperor and his father, so that all the princes gathered in the garden. No matter how the situation developed, they could advance or retreat without any hindrance. Exquisite thoughts are fully displayed.
Among the three people in front, Longkodo is the younger brother of the queen, so he has a royal title; Marseille is the grandson of Zhongda Gong Tuhai, and he inherits his title, so he deserves a noble title; and Ma Qi, as the head of the cabinet, , is an important minister of the court. After the Yinsu incident, the three of them were only loyal to the emperor. If there was a big event, the three of them would pass on the imperial edict together, which would inevitably attract people's attention.??????????????? Moreover, if the princes are allowed to gather in Changchun Garden under tight security, anyone who deliberately takes advantage of the opportunity to mess with their lives must not do so.
After a moment to calm down, Kangxi said: "As you wish send someone to announce my oral instructions to the elder brothers. Let Laibao and Laxi go to pick up the fourth elder brother." After hearing this, Longkodo My heart was shocked, and I concluded with this statement that he was the one whom the Sacred Heart was looking for, and I couldn't help but be secretly happy inside. Looking back at Ma Qi and Marseille, they also realized something. At that moment, Ma Qi kowtowed and said: "Come on, minions, let's go and do it now. The fourth elder brother is currently preparing for the sacrifice to heaven in the fasting hall. Minions, please ask, can Wu Erzhan take over?" Kangxi agreed and tilted his head to Long. Ke Duo then urged with great difficulty: "You tell me, the deposed prince and the eldest brother must be guarded closely. Furthermore, if anyone has other thoughts in life, no matter who it is, take them down first." ." Long Keduo's eyes flashed and he said, "I will obey the Holy Orders." Apart from Yin Reng and Yin Rong, who else could Kangxi be talking about? He lingered inside for a while, and when Kangxi closed his eyes to rest, he went out and immediately ordered the left-wing captain of the infantry battalion who was waiting beside him: "It's not peaceful these days, let me take care of everyone's house." . Especially" Long Ke paused for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "The tenth master and the twelfth master's house. The two masters will come to the garden later. If anyone uses the two masters indiscriminately, Jun ordered to mobilize troops and punish them for planning chaos!"
