Chapter 1340 What a pity (rolling and asking for monthly votes)
Outside Qianqing Palace, Brother Jiu stood for a while.
He hasn't called anyone yet.
Akdun is not a lovable child, but Brother Jiu is not the kind of person who wants to kill anyone he doesn't like.
He was more angry.
There is nothing strange in this.
Akedun has been holding on for more than half a month. He was fine when he was in Changchun Garden, but he died on the third day after he returned to the palace.
Is this to accuse the Crown Princess?
But is this enough?
It was not the Crown Princess's decision to keep Aktun in the West Garden.
It is impossible for the Crown Princess to abandon palace affairs and stay outside the palace to take care of her concubine.
Virtue is not here.
Then who is the opponent's target?
Fourteenth brother?
Not really.
A little brother is insignificant, but he is still worth calculating.
Brother Jiu had a look of confusion on his face, feeling that he could not be called an outsider, but he could not guess the purpose at the moment.
You won't be able to search and search, and finally find the person from Zhijun Prince's Mansion, right?
Using clumsy means to sow maggots between the eldest brother and the prince?
He was wandering around the door.
Kangxi was meeting with his ministers.
When waves of people left, Brother Jiu had no intention of letting the door pass.
However, Liang Jiugong got the news and found out that Brother Jiu had been standing outside for half an hour, so he felt uneasy.
It's late spring and cold weather right now, please don't make yourself sick.
Seeing that Kangxi had taken some time off, he reported: "Your Majesty, Master Jiu has been standing at the door for half an hour. He seemed to be in some kind of difficulty, but he didn't call anyone to inform him."
"The difficulty?" Kangxi pondered.
He was thinking about the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs after the new year. It seemed that many of them would have to wait for the weather to get warmer before they could be carried out.
For example, Brother Jiu talked about the woolen woolen farm for two years, and the summer palace outside the Great Wall that he chose last year.
others?
Jin Yiren?
Kangxi said: "Ask him to come in!"
Liang Jiugong responded and went out.
Kangxi was still thinking about Jin Yiren's smoothness and humility, so he would not directly confront Brother Jiu.
What's the reason?
At the gate of Qianqing Palace, Brother Jiu looked at Liang Jiugong and smiled bitterly, and whispered: "Shuida, I am the mourning bird."
Liang Jiugong's heart trembled when he heard this, and he whispered: "Master Jiu, please speak slowly."
Brother Jiu nodded and followed into Xi Nuan Pavilion.
Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu and noticed something strange about him.
Usually I am either proud or worried, with little thoughts on my face.
At the moment, the corners of his mouth were drooped, and he looked very aggrieved, with a somewhat gloomy air about him.
Is Jin Yiren really disrespectful to Brother Jiu?!
Thinking of this possibility, Kangxi felt a little annoyed.
Brother Jiu thought about Liang Jiugong's instructions and made a loud announcement of the funeral before he came up.
He took a long breath and said: "Khan Ama, my son is a little tired. Can you sit down and talk?"
Kangxi nodded and signaled Liang Jiugong to move a stool for him.
Brother Jiu sat down, looked at Kangxi and said: "Khan Ama, has Mr. Ma Wu found out the results of the accident the day before yesterday?"
Kangxi straightened his lips after hearing this.
Just as the prince expected, he searched again and again and pointed his sword at Yuqing Palace.
On the surface, Akedun and Hongxi's maternal eldest brother, the Li family, were unhappy, and suspected that Akedun was murdered by his eldest brother, and that he was plotting against Hongyu.
But everyone knows that this is part of the other party's plan, and there is someone else behind the scenes.
It's just that the other party is hiding its head and tail, and no clues can be found for the moment.
He looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Many people have been detained and are still being interrogated."
Brother Jiu said: "Just now, the general manager of Changchun Garden entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Ake Dunshang has been mourned. The eunuchs and nannies left behind in the West Garden have been detained. I am afraid that Master Ma Wu will have to go over and interrogate him..."
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth and asked after a while: "Where is the slave?"
Brother Ninth said: "Waiting in the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"When did you mourn?" Kangxi asked after being silent for a while.
Brother Jiu said: "At the second quarter of Maozheng..."
When the manager got the news, he didn't dare to delay. After asking someone to detain the people there, he hurried to Beijing.
"Since you have detained the people around you, do you think something is wrong and someone is plotting to kill the master?" Kangxi asked.
Brother Jiu said: "The eunuch who was guarding him was called away, and Akedun fell ill alone and did not survive."
How could there be so many coincidences?
Anyway, it doesn't sound right.
He also has three children at home. When has he been away from anyone?
The rules are very strict, and there are at least two people watching the young master every shift.
He is still a normal good boy.
Aktun is a sick child and has epilepsy. He knows that he can't live without people, and it would be strange if there is no one around him.
Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong and said: "Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and tell that slave, let him go to Yuqing Palace to see the prince and the princess to report the matter. Regarding the affairs of the emperor and grandson after his death, he will be buried in Huanghuashan Garden according to the rules of the death of the prince."
If it were other imperial grandsons, they would definitely not have this dignity and would find their own place to bury them.
But this is the prince's eldest son, which is different after all. He is not a young man.
Liang Jiugong responded.
Brother Jiu was very relieved.
Even if it's a bit embarrassing, you can still say the funeral announcement when you go to the imperial court.
If you really want him to go to Yuqing Palace, considering the prince's arrogance and rudeness, he won't be happy to be offended.
Kangxi saw Brother Jiu's reaction and asked directly: "Are you so afraid of the prince?"
Brother Jiu said sarcastically: "Isn't this bad news? If it's good news, my son will go there."
Kangxi said: "I will ask Ma Wu to take over this matter and investigate it thoroughly."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Then my son will feel at ease. Otherwise, he would not dare to think about it carefully. The more he thinks about it, the more afraid he will be."
The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal ones, and the horizontal ones are afraid of the mentally ill ones.
If you directly plot against the emperor's grandson, is the emperor's father dead?
Isn't this a brain disease?
This is not disrespectful, this is treason, the crime of confiscating one's family and annihilating one's clan.
Kangxi said: "You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. What happened in the past few days is a lesson, and you should take it as a warning."
Brother Jiu said: "My son understands."
From now on, if you don’t encourage people to drink, whoever likes to drink will drink.
Drink less yourself.
In addition, the family members were checked every now and then, and all gamblers and perverts were asked to retreat...

In Yuqing Palace, the prince met the manager of Changchun Garden.
The manager had a sad face and felt very regretful.
He went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to report to Ninth Brother first. This was indeed a little tricky, but it was also in line with the rules.
Master Jiu knew that he was timid, but he allowed him to do it this time.
The emperor will not tolerate it!
He, as the general manager, has probably come to an end.
He clearly knows that Brother Jiu is the beloved son of the emperor, but he still plots against Master Jiu like this. If he is not unlucky, who is?
When he arrived at Yuqing Palace, he became even less confident and bowed down to report Akedun's death.
After hearing this, the prince asked after a long time: "Where is Aunt Cui?"
Aunt Cui is his wet nurse. She stayed in the West Garden to take care of Akdun this time. She is someone the prince and princess can trust.
The general manager said: "I heard that it fell down last night, and someone else has been put on duty for the night. He has been taken care of it together with the others."
The prince looked at the little eunuch at the door and said, "Send Fulton over."
Fulton is the eldest son of Ma Qi, a great scholar, and also the prince's haha pearl. Now he is walking around the East Palace, hanging on the tea table.
Later, Fulton came over.
The prince said in a cold voice: "Akedun must not be confused. Go to the West Garden and ask Grandma Cui what is going on. If the emperor sends someone there, you should follow the imperial people.
Question those slaves."
Fulton hurriedly said: "Slave accepts the order, master expresses condolences!"
The prince looked at Fulton and said, "The only people I can trust are old people like you."
Fulton also felt sad and angry, and every incident was directed at the prince.
Fulton retreated and hurried to the West Garden.
The manager of Changchun Garden was still hunched over, with a bitter taste in his mouth.
The emperor ordered him to come to Yuqing Palace to report to the crown prince and crown princess.
In addition to the prince's place, there is also the prince's concubine's place to visit.
The prince looked at the main pipe: "Have you seen my brother's remains?"
The manager's face turned pale after hearing this.
Not only did I see it, I was also deeply impressed.
I don’t know what Brother Akedun was like before he got sick, but he looks a little scary today.
Who would have thought that the emperor's grandson would become as skinny as a hungry citizen.
I heard that I have been sick for more than half a month. From the looks of it, I think I don't want to eat and I am starving and losing weight.
Poor view.
He also understood the reason why the younger brother stayed in the Western Garden to recuperate. Even if there had not been an accident this morning, the younger brother would not have been able to survive much longer.
The manager murmured: "Brother's weight loss is amazing."
The prince looked down at his hands, as if Aktun was still determined to kill himself.
In order to avoid alarming others, he still hangs whips and lights incense burners in his room, but the incense is replaced by sandalwood, and a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is also placed in his study.
And Aktun was seriously ill, so everything seemed to be going smoothly.
The prince waved his hand to the steward, motioning for him to leave.
The steward stepped back with breathless voice and went to see the Crown Princess again.
The Crown Princess had already prepared for this news.
She thought about the day before yesterday morning when she went to visit Aktun before returning to the palace.
With tears in his eyes, Aktun murmured, "It would be great if my son could be educated by his mother since he was a child."
Just hearing these words, the Crown Princess almost burst into tears.
Although Aktun was frivolous and mischievous in his early years, he has changed in the past two years.
If we really have to go back in time, back to the thirty-fourth year, when the Crown Princess first entered the palace, the Crown Prince did not move the Li family and their children to the Jie Fang Palace, and did not allow the Crown Princess to interfere in the upbringing of the Emperor's grandson. That might be another situation.
Akdun was only five years old and Hongxi was two years old at the time, and Li Gege had not developed a big appetite.
But the prince's decision laid the foundation for disaster for everyone in the East Palace.
Now Aktun has passed away, and Mrs. Li also died of illness last year. Hongxi has also followed in Aktun's footsteps and has become an unpopular little pitiful person.
The Crown Princess also suffered physical injuries and was separated from the Crown Prince and his wife.
The Crown Princess sat and looked at the general manager: "Do you have any instructions from the Emperor on how to mourn the emperor's grandson?"
The general said: "According to the death of the prince, he was buried in the Huanghuashan Garden."
Huanghuashan Garden Bedroom was built by Emperor Shizu for Prince Rong.
Most of the princes who died in the palace in the past were buried here. There was no seal or tree, no grave bag or monument. They only had an open grave and were buried in a small scarlet coffin.
The Crown Princess nodded and said, "I will arrange for my grandma to go over and sort out the artifacts that my brother used during his lifetime for burial."
Since it is a small coffin, the things that can be buried with it are limited.
The Crown Princess planned to ask people to pick out those who were rewarded by the Crown Prince. In the early years, Aktun was looking forward to Prince Amma's favor. Now that the relationship between father and son has been severed, she will let the child live in peace.
The manager responded and withdrew.
Akedun was the eldest son. He was left in the Confucian etiquette at the age of eleven. He was already mourning and obeying.
It's just that the Manchus were underwhelmed, and there were many elders in Akedun, so Yuqing Palace couldn't help them.
The Crown Princess then ordered everyone in Yuqing Palace to go on a vegetarian diet for three days to mourn for Brother Aktun.
As the news spread, everyone in the palace knew that something had happened in Yuqing Palace and that the emperor Sun Shang was dead.

Qian Dongtou.
Brother Fourteen almost screamed when he got the news.
He waved his hand and sent the eunuch away.
Then he touched his neck, which was covered with sweat.
He had had some luck before, hoping that God would open his eyes and not accept Aktun.
Even if he becomes a cripple, as long as his life is saved.
After all, he is his biological uncle, and he did not intentionally cause his nephew to be like this, it was an unintentional mistake.
But with his life on the line, how could he dare to believe that the prince would not hold a grudge?!

Concubine De pinched the prayer beads in her hand, with a look of unbearable expression on her face, and murmured: "What a pity..."
