"Show it up!"
Kangxi was held up and his eyes towards Wang Xian began to become unfriendly.
Wang Xian handed the memorial to the young eunuch, and his posture became more upright.
Kangxi took the memorial, glanced at it quickly, and then slapped it on the imperial desk.
"You bastard!"
This scene shocked everyone and made Tong Guowei's face look even uglier.
Kangxi pretended to be extremely angry, but in fact he was thinking of a countermeasure quickly in his heart.
Tong Guogang died in battle. Now, among his sons, only Orondei is still useful.
Although Fahai passed the imperial examination and Kangxi later promoted him to be a lecturer, after observing him for a long time, Kangxi no longer liked Fahai's rigid and inflexible character.
Otherwise, Fahai would have passed the imperial examination and become a Jinshi in his 33rd year, and had been serving as a lecturer for nearly ten years. Kangxi would not have been so reluctant to find a good job for Fahai until now.
As for the younger Kua Dai, he was even less capable than his two older brothers, so Kangxi stuffed him into the imperial guards so that he could be out of sight and out of mind.
Kangxi was silent for a long time. People who were not familiar with him thought he was angry, but Yinzhi and other princes knew that their good father must be thinking about how to exonerate Orondei.
A hint of sarcasm arose in the hearts of several people. Now he still had the mood to make amends for Orondei, but he just didn't realize that Tong Guowei already regarded him as an enemy.
When he finds out about this.
snort……
"Yinzhen!"
After a while, Kangxi directly called out Yinzhen and planned to hand the case over to him. The people under the eldest and eighth brothers hated Tong Guowei. He wanted to make the case small or nothing, so he couldn't let the matter be handed over to the two of them.
"My son is here!"
"Olundai has been guilty of corruption and bribery, and has seized military merit from his subordinates. I order you to detain him as soon as possible. I hand this case over to you for investigation. You must thoroughly investigate this case and clear the name of those who have been wrongly accused."
The corner of Yinzhen's mouth twitched for a moment. "The wronged person"? Who is it, Orondai?
The emperor's partiality has probably reached an advanced stage and there is no hope for him in this lifetime.
If he really wanted to investigate Orondei, he should make the evidence submitted by Wang Xun public now, and have someone summon the witnesses in the case and Orondei for a confrontation in court.
Instead of delaying the case!
He was complaining in his heart, but his face remained serious.
"yes."
After the morning court session ended, everyone followed the crowd and slowly walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Tong Guowei's face was so dark that water could drip out of it. Among the group of people, he was the fastest walker.
As for what to do in a hurry?
Of course, that was to clean up the mess for his disappointing nephew.
Before today, he always thought that those people would focus on his children and grandchildren, but forgot about his nephew.
Thinking of Kua Dai's stubborn character, Tong Guowei couldn't help but feel a headache.
The princes each had their own camp. Yinzhi walked with Yinzhi, Yinzhen was followed by Yinqi and Yinlu, and Yinsi was surrounded by Yinlu, Yinqi and Yinlu.
From this perspective, it seems that Yinsi is the most powerful among the princes, but the fact is that Yinzhi can crush the other two camps just by relying on his military achievements.
Expanding territory is not something that anyone can do easily.
The princes walked slowly at the end, seemingly separated from each other. However, except for the fifth prince Yinqi, the tenth prince Yin?, the twelfth prince Yinlu and the fourteenth prince Yinzhen, the others knew that they were in the same group.
The reason for keeping it a secret from them was that he was afraid that any news would leak out and make Kangxi realize that something was wrong.
Yinzhi followed Yinzhi with his hands behind his back, and the two of them were talking in low voices. However, as soon as someone approached, they stopped communicating. However, if someone observed carefully, they would find that this situation did not only happen to the two of them.
This was more obvious between Yinsi and Yin'er.
"The old man is still trying to buy time for Orondai. This cousin is really doing his job well."
There was some envy in Yinzhi's tone.
"Why don't I have such a good cousin..."
The corner of Yinzhi's mouth twitched.
"Then why don't you go talk to Orondai and ask him to swap your identities?"
"Then let's not do that. He won't have many days left to live. I, your brother, want to live for a few more decades."
Yinzhi chuckled.
"Aren't you envious now?"
Yinzhi grinned but said nothing, and Yinzhi continued to ask,
"Is everything arranged at the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"
"Well...if nothing unexpected happens, Liang Jiugong will receive the news tonight."
"That's good……"
The voices of the two brothers were lost in the cold wind and no one noticed.
Yinzhen, carrying Kangxi's order, planned to arrest someone first. However, before he left Donghua Gate, he was stopped by a young eunuch from the Qianqing Palace.
When Yinzhen saw the little eunuch, he thought to himself, "He's finally here."
The Cabinet is just inside the Donghua Gate. When leaving the palace from the Hall of Supreme Harmony, one has to pass by the Cabinet. The Wumen Gate, which is in a straight line with the Hall of Supreme Harmony, is only open when the emperor is traveling or there are major festivals and ceremonies.
Kangxi sent people to stop him here, probably to avoid the eyes and ears of some people.
"Prince Yong."
The young eunuch bowed to Yinzhen and saluted.
"The Emperor wants you to have breakfast with him."
"Yes, I understand."
Yinzhen nodded to indicate that he understood.
Last year, when the emperor conferred titles on the prince, he also specially conferred him the title of prince.
Yinzhen privately thought that this might be to give his camp the confidence to challenge his eldest brother and eighth brother.
Otherwise, the emperor would not have let him sit on the throne of prince so easily.
Yinzhen still has this self-awareness.
As Yinzhen guessed, Kangxi asked him to go over in order to ask him to protect Orondei.
Yinzhen agreed to the plan as planned, but after leaving the Qianqing Palace, the respect and approval on Yinzhen's face disappeared completely.
He also disliked the Tong family very much. Only Fahai was acceptable to him.
Although Fahai's character is a bit rigid, he is honest and will not have any bad intentions when it comes to things that are not his business.
In contrast, the other members of the Tong family are all greedy, and only the emperor treats them as treasures.
Liang Jiugong sent Yinzhen out of the warm room. As they passed each other, a note was quietly slipped into Liang Jiugong's hand.
During the autumn hunt that year, Longkodo took advantage of his father's favor to bully him, and Liang Jiugong spoke for him in front of the father. Since then, Yinzhen and Liang Jiugong have always been in contact.
During the holidays, Liang Jiugong would basically receive gifts from Yinzhen at his residence outside the palace.
Although it was not a valuable item, Liang Jiugong felt extremely comfortable with it.
