Chapter 174 The Story of Clearing (83)
Qingchuan Story 83
The two Hai Dongqing in the cage were both dying.
Who did this?
The Fourth Master immediately ruled out the Eighth Old Man. Could it be that the Prince Zhi was manipulated by the latter just like what happened last time?
Then he denied this speculation again. Prince Zhi was not so despicable. Moreover, Prince Zhi's filial piety to the emperor was not fake. Even if he wanted to deal with the Ba Lao, he had already been abducted by the Ba Lao Lao last time. Why bother to go through another procedure? Therefore, this must not be the one that Prince Zhi did.
Who else can it be if it is not the Prince of Zhi?
Is it the Fourteenth? The Fourteenth does not have such courage. He likes to jump around, but he doesn't even use the emperor as a raft.
Just as he was stunned, he heard Lao Jiu shouting, "Old Fourteen, you are so despicable!"
Obviously, Lao Jiu didn't believe that this was done by Lao Ba. Isn't this a suicide attempt? I just made the emperor unhappy, so how dare I flirt with tiger beards? Even if Lao Ba ignored himself, could he still ignore the concubine and the Eighth Concubine in the palace? Therefore, this matter must have nothing to do with Lao Ba.
However, those who have conflicts of interest with the Eighth Lao are the Prince of Zhi, the Fourth Lao, and the Fourteenth Lao.
Prince Zhi was locked up, so he was the first to rule out. Moreover, Prince Zhi had always been among their brothers, and he would never believe that Prince Zhi had done such a thing.
Ninth Master never thought that the fourth brother was, no matter how unpleasant the fourth brother was, his character was still strong. He could not stand others for illegal things, so he could only be more harsh to himself. Such despicable things had nothing to do with him.
So, it can only be the fourteenth. In order to achieve the goal, what can’t be done? This person has no bottom line at all. He is a completely speculator. This is to completely suppress Lao Ba.
It is the same as when the Prince Zhi falls, the eighth brother can really stand up straight. Only when the eighth brother falls, the fourteenth brother can really stand up.
So, in this hall, after Master Jiu shouted that, ninety percent felt that this was done by the Fourteenth.
Fourteen's face turned pale and his legs became weak.
"Emperor, I'm wronged." Fourteen knelt down suddenly.
Kangxi covered his chest, no matter who did it, it was all done by his own son, so how could it not be heartbroken?
Lao Jiu said it was done by the Fourteenth, but he didn't believe it. He prefers that it was directed and acted by Lao Ba himself.
On the one hand, Lao Ba hated the Fourteenth because of the last incident. On the other hand, Lao Ba wanted to make people believe that this was all the Fourteenth conspiracy. It would be best for the emperor to believe that all this. Even if I don’t believe it, Lao Ba is still the wise king in the hearts of all officials. Even became a tragic wise king, a wise king framed by his brothers. If I saw through everything he did and continued to scold him, then his situation might not be more difficult than now. It was just that there was another tragic card that was suppressed by the emperor.
A tragic image of a wise king who is loved by all officials, suspicious by the emperor, and unwilling tolerate by his brothers will be deeply rooted in people's hearts.
This is his habit of managing reputation and engraving it in his bones.
He really does not leave any father-son feelings for me, the emperor, Ama.
Everyone looked at the emperor covering his chest and fell back with a pale face.
This is really scary for everyone.
Li Dequan supported the emperor with one hand and said, "Doctor Xuan."
As ministers in the study, Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu were able to step forward.
The Fourth Master said, "Third Brother, you are the longest among brothers now. Go up and watch."
The third master's legs are weak. If the emperor really has something to do here, it would be completely messy.
The Fourth Master reminded him that the emperor was sick and although there was a taboo, there was no reason for not being a single prince who stepped forward. If they all rushed up, it would be a lot of people, but it would be fine if he was alone. Besides, he is the oldest among these princes. It's really a responsibility.
The third master shook his legs and stepped forward tremblingly.
First, the emperor was placed in the inner room behind, and only the princes and nobles and officials above the third rank were left behind. The others had been wielded away.
Fourteen was even more scared. This was really not what he did. Even if he wanted to harm Lao Ba, he would have to wait until he had real power. Now, except for Lao Ba's verbal promise, he didn't see any truth. He was crazy or stupid to do such a thing.
But when everyone looked at him, he made him feel that something was wrong. There were so many people who believed what Lao Jiu said.
He knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up at all.
The fifth master scolded the Ninth master, "You kneel down too." The situation of this bastard is still unclear. You are so anxious to speak up for Lao Ba and tell others to think. Why are you so sure that it was not Lao Ba who did it?
After all, it was the youngest, and I didn’t know how deep the water was in it?
The Ninth Master could not refute the fifth Master's face in person. In addition, the emperor's appearance just now was indeed scary, and it was indeed inappropriate for his shouting without caring about it. So he had to glar at Shiqiu fiercely and kneel beside him.
There are two princes and princes kneeling in this hall, so these ministers can naturally be called "There are the best ones" as they are.
At this time, no one dared to emerge.
The emperor was furious and fainted for three days. The Fourth Master felt that the emperor was not as energetic as before.
When the emperor woke up, the Eighth Master rushed over from the capital in dust, came in and knelt down and apologized, without saying a word of extra injustice.
But the more this happens, the more people feel that Eighth Master is wronged.
Who would do such a stupid thing after being rejected by the emperor? It is clearly not the eighth master’s work.
The Eighth Master was wronged and deeply rooted in the hearts of many people.
The Fourth Master squinted his eyes and looked at the Eight Master. This person's grasp of human hearts and nature can be said to have reached the extreme.
The emperor leaned on the couch and did not look at the eighth master, "I and Yinsi, the relationship between father and son is now gone."
The Eighth Master was also very shocked. He never expected that the emperor would say such a sentence without any room for maneuver. "Old Ma..."
The Fourth Master still believes in the Emperor's judgment. The Emperor has determined the Eighth Brother.
There is no need to interrogate or inquiry. The emperor insists that it is the eighth old man. The emperor will not interrogate those who send birds and raise birds. He can guess it without asking. The first instance must be the fourteenth old man.
But in fact, Lao Shishi really doesn’t have the courage.
Looking at the astonished eyes of everyone, the Fourth Master thought to himself that at least the Eighth Master had succeeded. Because everyone was wronged for him, it was not worth it for him. Everyone couldn't help but guess that now that the Eighth Master was suppressed like this, then the last time he elected the prince, was it that Eighth Master was also so wronged?
The Fourth Master admires the Eighth Master for playing with and manipulating people's hearts.
Everyone guarded the emperor in the hall for three days, and was not allowed to leave until now.
The emperor did not say that he would deal with the Fourteenth or the Jiu. After kneeling for three days, the two were held up and left with everyone.
As soon as the Fourth Master entered the door, Honghui came in. "Ama, is it okay?" In the past few days, there has been no news about the palace. If these uncles hadn't come out, he would have thought something happened to Ama.
"It's okay." The Fourth Master looked a little calmer, "I asked someone to close the door of the mansion, and no one saw him."
Honghui was stunned for a moment and quickly responded. It seemed that something happened, something big happened.
At first, Honghui didn't know who he didn't want to see. When Uncle Fourteen came to ask for a meeting for several days, he would know.
"Uncle Fourteenth, after Ama came back to take a bath, he entered the Zen room. No one was disturbed." Honghui asked not to resist the Fourteenth at the door, and just waited to invite him in. "This bathing is fasting, and I went into the Zen room to recite scriptures. If the Fourteenth Uncle really had an urgent matter, my nephew would go in and shout?" Honghui naturally knew about the emperor's discomfort. Every night, he and Hongyun would copy two volumes of scriptures before going to bed. It was true that Ama wanted to chant scriptures and pray for blessings to the emperor, but he really didn't want to see the Fourteenth Uncle. If he prayed for blessings to the emperor, he didn't believe that the Fourteenth Uncle dared to disturb him and had to call Ama out.
When Shisi was stunned, he knew what the fourth brother was for? At this time, people had to admire the fourth brother's concentration.
"That's it." Fourteen stood up, "Don't bother you, just tell him to recite the scriptures well." There was a little dissatisfaction in his tone.
Honghui just thought he couldn't hear it, and said kindly, and politely sent Sisi out.
He looked at the back of the fourteenth uncle and thought to himself that this uncle is now like a headless fly. In fact, he doesn't know what else he wants at this moment. He is all unwilling to support him. If he continues to be stupid like this, Ama's patience will be completely exhausted.
Honghui went to the meditation room. His words just now were indeed not lies. Ama did go into the meditation room after taking a bath and fasting. Every day, he would report things to Ama through the window. He believed that Ama could hear it.
Just ask Ama to know what is right.
The Fourth Master naturally heard Honghui's words inside. He was indeed praying for the emperor. Because he had a phenomenon that day, the emperor's hands were already shaking very hard. The emperor is really old.
This time, for the elderly who are still working hard, such damage will probably be a major damage to the vitality.
Fourteen is here to look for him now, which proves that he is anxious. He is really anxious. The emperor did not rebuke him, but he gave the blame to him in his heart.
The Fourth Master snorted coldly in his heart, he was asking for it himself.
He really regarded Lao Ba as a Bodhisattva. Lao Ba may feel that he has lost his holy heart, but he must gain everyone's "human heart".
As long as the officials are in their hearts, the Eighth Master is still the Eight Wise King, then he still has a chance.
He cleaned up Lao Shisi with one hand and washed his body with the other.
He just wanted everyone to think that his "virtuous" had attracted the emperor's taboo, that he was wronged and suppressed.
His ability and talent made the emperor beware of it.
The emperor said that the eighth brother "repellent into sexual intercourse", which is actually objective.
If the emperor really treats him like Prince Zhi, he will be directly encircled, then the emperor will really be guilty of persecuting the "Vertical King".
He only dared to take action after he calculated this point.
