I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 152 Usurping the throne?Pass?
Shi Shilun died of illness in the army. Although the encirclement and suppression campaign was not fully successful, the water transport was preserved.

In order to appease people's hearts, Kangxi immediately issued an order to give Shi Shilun a rich burial and also gave him stone sheep, stone tigers, sacrificial inscriptions and other objects.

Otherwise, how could he live up to what Kangxi once praised as "the most upright official in the south of the Yangtze River".

However, although the burial was generous, Kangxi did not give him a posthumous title this time.

Ha ha.

this day.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Gate.

Kangxi was attending the morning court with hundreds of civil and military officials here.

Since the chaos in Henan, Kangxi has returned to the capital to take charge.

This morning meeting was purely extra. On the one hand, it was to announce the two great victories in Shandong Water Transport and Henan, which was exciting. On the other hand, it was also to discuss the follow-up encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the rebels.

Naturally, the original [-]-strong army had to go back wherever it wanted. It couldn't be maintained forever, otherwise Kangxi would be able to drink a pot of horse chews just by eating people.

"Report to Your Majesty! I thought that since the main force of the Bagua Cult rebel bandits was defeated by our Qing heavenly troops and the remaining troops were in decline, we could order the local government to suppress them on their own. However, the top priority is to allocate a batch of money and food from the south as soon as possible to provide relief to the north. Victims of the earthquake!" The person who spoke was Ma Qi, a scholar from Wuyingdian Palace, who was full of mature words about seeking a country.

"What Ma Aiqing said makes sense!"

Kangxi nodded slightly, obviously agreeing, and asked: "Shi Shilun, the Governor of Water Transport, died in office. Do you have any candidates?"

Xiao Yongzao, the Minister of Political Affairs who is over 70 years old, said angrily: "I recommend Zhang Dayou, the Minister of War, to be the Governor of Water Transport!"

Seeing this, Wang Guan, the newly reinstated scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, was not to be outdone: "The minister recommended Tang Ying..."

Just when the officials were arguing endlessly, suddenly...

"Your Majesty, the special envoy of Longkodo, Governor of Jiangnan, is urgently seeking an audience!"

Longkodo?
Kangxi was startled, and a bad premonition suddenly emerged in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Declarate him to the palace!"

After a while, an official of unknown rank stumbled into the hall. When he saw Kangxi, he knelt down and said urgently: "I am reporting to my emperor that the puppet rebels have captured Nanjing. Suzhou, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, and Songjiang have all fallen. Longjiang has been captured." The governor has now retreated to Anqing, and please ask my emperor to send troops to suppress it as soon as possible!"

"what!"

Kangxi's expression changed drastically, and he didn't even care that it was the morning court. He stood up from the dragon chair, and the dongzhu he wore around his neck trembled.

His Highness's officials and kings were also shocked.

Nanjing fell?
However, they didn't wait for them to recover from the shock.

next second.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" It was Kangxi's personal eunuch, Zhao Chang, who exclaimed.

When the officials and elder brothers heard the sound, they looked up and saw that Kangxi had fallen to the ground without knowing it.

At this moment, the entire court exploded instantly.

"emperor!"

"Khan Amma, what's wrong with you?"

"It's not good, the emperor has fainted, call the imperial doctor quickly, call the imperial doctor!"

"..."

When Kangxi was rushed to the palace by everyone, this time, Kangxi did not wake up quickly.

The palace doctors came one after another, but they were all helpless. The best they said was that it would be fine when they woke up, but no one knew when they would wake up.

This was the third time Kangxi fainted due to stimulation. The time difference was only four months, and Kangxi was already in poor health.

In terms of historical time, it actually only happened this year.

The entire Forbidden City was shrouded in dark clouds.

At this time, Prince Yong's Mansion outside the Forbidden Imperial City.

The Buddhist Hall of the Royal Palace.

Li Wei knelt behind Yinzhen and said loudly and forcefully: "Master, now is a great opportunity!"

Yinzhen, who was praying and reciting sutras for Kangxi in front of the Buddha, trembled with the beads in his hand, and said in a cold voice: "Li Wei, do you, a dog slave like you, know what you are talking about?"

"Master, as the saying goes, if God refuses to take the blame, even Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, also had Xuanwu changes. Master, why are you still hesitating?"

In the last sentence, Li Wei rarely used an accent, with a rather hateful tone.

However, after hearing this, Yinzhen was not only not angry, but stood up, turned around, and asked Dai Duo, who had been silent since he came next to Li Wei, "What do you think, Mr. Dai?"

Dai Duo said: "Your Majesty, if you continue to break the law, you will be subject to chaos! No matter what choice you make..."

These words finally removed the last trace of worry in Yong Zheng's heart.

"That's it, Li Wei, Mr. Dai!"

"The servant is here!"

"Pass this king's secret order and we'll take action at midnight tonight!"

"The slave (subject) leads the order!"

Purpose, this is a word that only the emperor can use.

……

The time soon came to midnight.

Due to the butterfly wings fluttering in front of Emperor Zhu, the only people accompanying Kangxi's bed tonight were the old eunuch Zhao Chang, the eighth elder brother Yinhu, and the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang.

Suddenly, the eighth elder brother Yinhu was awakened from his dizziness. He felt that there seemed to be some noise outside the door, accompanied by some yelling.

Just as he was about to scold him, Yinhu suddenly realized that something was wrong. The vigilance and palace he had developed during the period of seizing the throne made him instantly realize that this was Amma, the palace of Emperor Kangxi, the Holy Lord of the Qing Dynasty, and the dog slaves outside had the courage to do so. Even though he is big, he won't come out in the middle of the night to make a fuss.

problem occurs!
This thought only flashed through his mind, and Yinsu was about to stand up and shout.

"Oh!"

The palace door was knocked open directly from the outside, and several Eight Banners soldiers in armor and belts rushed in. The three leaders even pulled out their knives.

Yinhu looked horrified, pointed at the Eight Banners Army in front of him and roared: "You...are you going to rebel?" However, these Eight Banners soldiers ignored him at all, and only one person slowly came in from the door.

"Yinzhen!"

Seeing the appearance of the person coming, Yinsu's eyes suddenly split open: "You led troops to break into the palace gate privately, what on earth are you going to do?"

"My good eighth brother, haven't you already said it?"

However, Yinzhen did not give Yinzhu a chance to continue. He waved his hand and two Eight Banners soldiers stepped forward, held Yinzhu up and exited the palace gate, no matter how loudly Yinsu shouted.

After Yinzhen was taken away, Yinzhen looked at Yinxiang seriously again. The other person also had an expressionless face. Shi Shiran stood up, cleaned up and exited the palace gate on his own.

Now, only Manager Zhao and Kangxi, who was unconscious in the hospital bed, were left.

Yinzhen waited for a long time, but Mr. Zhao didn't move at all.

Yinzhen was a little impatient, but still said warmly (hint): "Manager Zhao, it's very cold tonight. Please move over and add bedding to Ama!"

Zhao Chang looked neither sad nor happy, and asked: "Brother Si! Do you know what you are doing now?"

Hearing this, Yinzhen was startled, then his face darkened, and he said, "Mr. Zhao, isn't it good to live? Even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your family?"

Zhao Chang said: "This old slave has followed the emperor since he was a child. The emperor will be my master in this life!"

"Okay! What a master for this life? Haha!"

Yinzhen sneered, then raised his hand: "Come here!"

Two Eight Banners infantrymen rushed through the door.

"The emperor is seriously ill. Manager Zhao is so sad that he has gone crazy. Take him down quickly and don't let him disturb Ama!"

"twitter!"

The two of them left Kangxi's palace with Zhao Chang on their backs.

Only then did Yinzhen turn to look at the dragon bed. He walked over and took a closer look. He saw that his face was bloodless and full of wrinkles. He seemed to have recalled the memory of being held in Ama's arms when he was a child. The cruelty in his eyes disappeared. , showing a trace of intolerance.

"What? I can't do it...ahem..."

"!"

Seeing Kangxi suddenly coughing and getting up from the dragon bed, Yinzhen was immediately frightened.

Although in front of him, except for the emperor's skin, there was a dying old man, he still subconsciously knelt down.

"You're still not cruel enough!"

Seeing this, Kangxi snorted coldly, and then said: "I hope that after tonight, you can be a ruthless, mean and ungrateful emperor!"

A mean and unkind emperor?
emperor?

Is this going to be passed on to him?
Yinzhen raised his head in disbelief.

"Why, do you think it's impossible?" Seeing this expression, Kangxi laughed complacently. He coughed violently again while laughing. He stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and his hands were covered with black blood.

"I'll make a long story short. I've already written the edict for ascending to the throne. It's placed behind the plaque in the south study room. You can take it out later and hold it for ascending to the throne."

Kangxi said: "After ascending to the throne, remember to properly handle the northwest frontier troops. I previously asked Nian Gengyao to marry you and ordered him to go to the northwest to lead the troops. It should be easier for you to do so."

"But this person is too pursuing fame and wealth. Moreover, the Nian family is the general of the army outside, and you are the concubine inside. We must not let him give birth to a dragon son, even if he is a commoner!"

Yinzhen nodded: "I understand!"

"Well... do you know that you all thought that I favored Lao Si[-] before, but now I say that I want to pass on to you, and I have even written an imperial edict in advance!"

"...I don't know!"

Yinzhen was silent for a moment, still unable to conceal his curiosity.

After all, judging from the many previous actions, Kangxi was obviously more optimistic about the old fourteenth. Why did his attitude change so much now.

And it was obviously not because he led his troops to "seize the gate", because the edict had been written in advance.

Kangxi said word by word: "Ahem...Old Fourteen is too similar to me. It is precisely because he is too similar that he cannot be the emperor. Moreover, Old Fourteen has been in the northwest for too long. If he ascends to the throne, he will definitely not be able to bear it. If the Qing Dynasty is instigated and is good at fighting, the Qing Dynasty will not be able to withstand the trouble!"

"As for Lao Ba, he is too close to the kings and ministers in the court, the Eight Wise Kings? Haha, luckily he can say it."

"As for the others, they are either under the command of these two people or are incompetent. You are the only one...ahem..."

"Khan Ama!"

Kangxi waved his hand: "Ahem...it doesn't matter. For the sake of the prosperous age of Kangxi, I condoned the corruption of officials, which made the Qing Dynasty become such a war-torn place and the world is in turmoil!"

Yinzhen said quickly: "I will definitely clean up the officials and restore peace and prosperity to the world!"

"Ha ha……"

Kangxi smiled and was noncommittal. Although there was a reason for his connivance in the corruption of officials, at the same time, corrupt officials have existed since ancient times and it is impossible to eradicate them.

Going forward, Chongzhen of the previous Ming Dynasty was destroyed because of corrupt officials, which allowed the Qing Dynasty to gain power.

Now it's just a cycle of cause and effect.

"Although Zhang Tingyu is a minister of the Han Dynasty, he has the talent to manage the country. If you ascend to the top, you may be able to entrust him with important responsibilities, and he will become your wise minister and good prime minister. It depends on you..."

Kangxi held on to his strength and finished speaking in one breath: "As for Longkodo, he is too profit-oriented and has an unstable mind. I wanted to send him to the south of the Yangtze River to work hard, but... that's all, you just watch. Let’s do it! But no matter what, remember that just like that Nian Gengyao, he can be used a lot but cannot be reused, and Yue Zhongqi also needs to be polished and carved..."

"My son, thank you Khan!" Yinzhen's eyes were filled with tears at this time, regardless of whether it was true or false.

"Okay, let's stop talking. Remember, you must not breed pleasure, let alone follow my footsteps easily for the sake of posthumous reputation. If you want to do it, be a ruthless, mean and ungrateful emperor...anything that stops you ...Kill...kill...all the time..."

As he spoke, Kangxi's voice became smaller and smaller until he completely stopped.

"My son, I send you my Majesty Khan!"

Yinzhen was stunned for a moment and then howled.

In fact, he still had a question he hadn't asked, that is, if he didn't launch the "Seize the Gate" tonight, would Kangxi still pass on to him?
But after thinking about it, it was unnecessary.

Outside, the eunuch kept shouting.

"The emperor's funeral is over!"

　The history books have doubts about the legitimacy of Yongzheng. Here we will choose a compromise. Yongzheng usurped the throne, but Kangxi also passed the throne.
