Longkodo entered the court as an official last year, and Kangxi directly granted him the official position of a guard in front of the emperor.

This shows the favor Kangxi had for his cousin.

Today he came to see Yinzhen specifically, which was also a task assigned to him by Tong Guowei and Tong Guogang.

Although Yinzhen felt a little uncomfortable, the person in front of him was Tong E'niang's younger brother and the emperor's cousin after all. He still told Longkodo about Tong E'niang's situation in a calm manner.

When he first heard it, Longkodo felt a little sad, but not long after Yinzhen finished speaking, Longkodo revealed the real purpose of his visit to Yinzhen today.

"Fourth Prince, I hope you can persuade my sister more. The Tong family needs someone in the harem..."

Yinzhen was confused for a moment, but he quickly reacted.

He thought that Longkodo came to him today because he really wanted to care about Tong E'niang's health, but he didn't expect that he wanted Tong E'niang to agree to send another girl from the Tong family into the palace.

Oh!

Tong E'niang is still alive!

Yinzhen's face was grim, his hands clenched tightly, his knuckles white, as if he was squeezing his palms to bleed. His eyes were fixed on Longkodo who was not far away, and he asked word by word,

"Is this Master Xiao Tong's intention, or the Tong family's intention?"

Tong E'niang is in poor health now and needs the comfort of her family, but her family has already started planning her funeral arrangements.

At this moment, Yinzhen's secret hope for the Tong family disappeared.

Faced with this sudden and explosive questioning, Longkodo's originally gentle face gradually turned cold.

Longkodo looked directly at Yinzhen without hesitation, his voice filled with unquestionable majesty and oppression.

"Fourth Prince doesn't need to know, he just needs to advise his sister truthfully."

Not to mention that Yinzhen is just a bald prince now. Even if he is granted a title in the future, as long as he does not ascend to the supreme position, what does Longkodo have to fear?

"Oh……"

Yinzhen's fists were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. If he hadn't still had some rationality left, he would have really wanted to punch Longkodo in the face.

"Forgive me, but I cannot obey your command!"

"you……"

Longkodo's face turned completely gloomy.

"Okay, okay... I hope the Fourth Prince can always be so tough."

After saying that, Longkodo snorted coldly and turned away.

Yinzhen looked at Longkodo's back with an inexplicable expression.

If Longkodo had come to him a few days earlier, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he would not dare to confront Longkodo head-on.

After all, he was just an unfavored son, and the Tong family was the emperor's maternal grandfather's family.

But a few days ago, Tong's mother asked him to stay away from the Tong family, and his second brother, the crown prince, also told him that everything should be based on his own experience, so it only took a short time for Yinzhen to figure everything out.

——He really couldn't like the Tong family's indifference.

Moreover, since Longkodo had come to him for help, it meant that he should have proposed this matter to Tong E'niang before, but Tong E'niang did not agree, which led to what happened just now.

When he thought of this, Yinzhen became even more reluctant to speak for the Tong family.

The facts were just as Yinzhen had guessed.

The Tong family had already sent messages to Chengqian Palace several times, but Concubine Tong had not given in. The Tong family thought of Yinzhen and wanted him to persuade Concubine Tong.

Seeing that Concubine Tong's illness was getting worse and worse and there was basically no hope of recovery, the Tong family started to have some ideas.

Concubine Tong did not leave behind any sons, what if her concubine sister had the same luck?

In fact, the Tong family did not need to consider Concubine Tong's mood when sending their daughter to the palace, but the Tong family asked Concubine Tong for help in order to ask her to pave the way for their concubine sister.

Concubine Tong had always been proud of her identity as Kangxi's cousin, but before she died, her father and uncle were about to send another "cousin" into the palace. She felt that her life was a huge joke.

The resentment in my heart is about to turn into reality, it would be strange if I could agree.

…

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Kangxi secretly summoned the leaders of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, transferred thirty best men from the Firearms Battalion from the inner city garrison, and headed straight to the outskirts of Beijing.

The team stopped in front of a 600-acre farm in the suburbs of Beijing, which soon aroused the vigilance of the farmers.

In fact, the armor of the guards riding in the front is all standard, and the farmers can recognize them, but if they do not show other things to prove their identity, the farmers will not let the caravan enter the farm.

The guard, with a murderous look on his face, took out a golden order from his bosom and waved it in front of the farmer. The farmer's face instantly turned into awe.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

A hand reached out from the carriage and waved. The farmer hurriedly made way and signaled to the people on the gate to let the convoy enter the farm.

This farm was private property of the royal family, and this was Kangxi's first visit.

Kangxi had already sent someone to give advance notice, and now the yard was empty, obviously having been cleaned up.

After getting off the car, Kangxi took a look around, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the first-class guard commander Bayerdeke,

"Take the things out."

“Hey!”

Erdek led several guards and moved several large boxes from the last few carts and placed them in front of Kangxi and the leaders of the various banners.

When the box was opened, dozens of peculiarly shaped muskets were neatly stacked inside.

Everyone present had fought in wars, so they were familiar with muskets, but... this was the first time they had seen something so strange.

Kangxi came forward, picked up a pole, and put it on his shoulder to demonstrate. Then he shouted to the back,

"Dai Zi."

"The servant is here!"
