Kangxi was silent for a long time, then he wrote a reply on the paper.
He was ordered to be relieved of his duties as an official, still on salary, and to stay in the capital as advisors.
Maybe after a year and a half of conditioning, the body will be fine.
Or even if he is not reinstated, he can step in when manpower is needed.
Kangxi didn't want to admit it, but he really couldn't let go of these veterans...

Babel Mansion, study room.
"Prince Zhi has been quiet these years and has the intention of retreating, but the noble ministers following him will not allow him to retreat..."
He Zhuo muttered: "Since ancient times, princes have been established, heirs have been established, elders have been established, and virtuous people have been established. This dynasty is different from previous dynasties. Although the eighth master is virtuous, he suffers the disadvantage of being behind the throne..."
The Eighth Prince was silent for a while and said: "Emperor Taizong put his teeth at the back..."
He Zhuo shook his head and said: "Emperor Taizong is one of the four great belles. Emperor Taizu did not leave a will, so his successor can only be chosen from the four great belles who were in charge of the government at that time. Taizong is the youngest, but he is based on 'harmony' and etiquette."
Prince Lie's moral character is flawed. Mang Gurtai killed his mother and has a life-or-death feud with Prince Li Lie. Amin is the emperor's nephew."
The eighth elder brother didn't know why, but he thought of the ninth elder brother.
Among the brothers, Brother Jiu's popularity gradually improved without realizing it.
Immediately, he rejected the idea.
The relationship between the ninth elder brother and the prince is not harmonious, he has a superficial relationship with the third elder brother, and has a quarrel with the fourteenth elder brother.
Then, the third elder brother came to his mind.
The third elder brother probably wanted to follow the path of Taizong. After the eldest elder brother and the prince were both injured, he took advantage of the situation and adopted a tolerant attitude, so that he could get along with his younger brothers.
The eighth prince looked at He Zhuo and said: "Back then, Emperor Taizong led the Zhengbai Banner and received the support of the two red flags. The situation is different from the current situation."
The current banner holder, the Prince, has no power over the throne.
He Zhuo nodded and said: "Yes, now the prince has many assistants and leaders. Just looking at the assistants, they are not as good as the kings of the clan. The ones who can affect the throne are the harem and the nobles of the Three Banners."
Both Emperor Shizu and Jin Shang came to the throne at the same age, and they were backed by the nobles of the Three Banners.
When the honors of the upper three flags rise, the honors of the princes and princes of the lower five flags are suppressed.
Are the noble princes under the Five Banners willing to delegate power?
Since ancient times, there has been no greater merit than following the dragon.
Even He Zhuo himself felt faintly excited when he mentioned this.
However, the eighth prince does not have any advantage among the adult princes.
"The Eighth Master is a prince after all. It is not easy to make friends with courtiers, and there is no need to be transparent. Clan relatives are not a problem. The Eighth Master has always been very popular..."
He Zhuo said.
After hearing this, the Eighth Prince couldn't help but hesitate and said: "But now the King's Council for political discussion is in name only, and the prince's administration is just a false name. The real power is still in the hands of the noble ministers."
He Zhuo said: "The Eighth Master has no shortage of distinguished ministers. All he needs to do is follow Prince Zhi closely. Concubine Hui is the adoptive mother of the Eighth Master, who is the closest brother to the Prince of Zhi."
The eighth prince hesitated: "Will those people choose me?"
He Zhuo said: "Just looking at how close Bachelor Kui is to the Eighth Master, you know that others will eventually choose the Eighth Master."
Eighth Prince had thought about this before, but he was a little unsure.
Unexpectedly, after being honest with He Zhuo, their ideas were so consistent.
Brother Ba took a breath, stood up and bowed to He Zhuo: "I've been in chaos these past few years, and I asked the teacher to teach me!"
He Zhuo hurriedly avoided it, held it up with both hands, and said: "Eighth Master is of high status and must not be like this."
The eighth prince said with a bit of sadness and anger on his face: "It's not that I'm ambitious or disloyal or disrespectful. It's just that the prince bullied others too much and showed no brotherhood. In order to protect myself, I had to make plans in advance."
He Zhuo frowned and said, "Is it because of Prince Zhi that the prince is angry with the eighth master?"
I have long heard that the prince has lost his friendship with his brothers, but after all, it is a royal private matter and outsiders do not know the details.
The eighth prince shook his head and told him that the prince had planned to adopt Hongxi to him two years ago.
After hearing this, He Zhuo had a heavy look on his face and thought more, "The eighth master is only in his early twenties this year, and he was born two years earlier. How can anyone at this age ask for adoption? This is unreasonable, unless the prince is the prince."
I am certain that the eighth master will have a difficult heir, but how can the prince be so sure of this?"
After hearing this, Eighth Prince's scalp felt numb and his back felt cold, as he thought about having sex privately.
The two looked at each other.
He Zhuo asked: "Does the Eighth Master have any personal use for the items given by Yuqing Palace?"
"Rose dew..."
The eighth prince murmured: "I heard that not only was it given to me, but also to Prince Cheng..."
Is it such a blatant act of mischief?
He Zhuo asked: "What is the relationship between the Crown Prince and Prince Cheng?"
"I have fallen out. I have lost all my affection. Concubine Rong has been demoted. There are some rumors that she has something to do with Yuqing Palace..."
Eighth Prince said.
He Zhuo couldn't help but hesitate a little after hearing this, and said, "It can't be that simple, right? How can he be so sure that Master Ba will use that thing when there are so many manipulations in the exchange of favors?"
But Brother Eight knew his own business, and he had indeed used the rose dew.
He stiffened and said, "Use it. My Haha Pearl eunuch used this incense in the study."
At that time, I asked the doctor to take a look at it and found that there were indeed some fun additions in it, but I didn't take it seriously.
This flower dew passed down from the West is mostly used to add entertainment to the room.
He was depressed during those two years, and his days in the study were indeed quite absurd.
Haha, eunuch bead...
The eighth prince thought of the two brothers Yao Zixiao and Yao Zizhong who were arrested by the Criminal Division in the 37th year.
The Niu Hulu family can put people in the palace, but what about the Hesheli family?
At that time, in order to fear that the prince would be wronged, the emperor appointed the prince's wet nurse to be the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The Eighth Prince felt that his eyes were going dark. He looked at He Zhuo and said, "The imperial doctor asked for Ping'an's pulse. There is nothing obviously wrong with my pulse report. When I asked about the heir, he only said that it was fate that had not come yet."
He Zhuo thought deeply: "If the prince is willing to send medicine, then the prince's hospital must have prepared it in advance."
The eighth prince's face turned pale, and then turned red, with anger in his eyes.
Among so many princes, I have always respected the prince, why would the prince attack me?
He Zhuo looked at the eighth elder brother and comforted him: "Fortunately, the eighth elder brother is still young. Even if he was tricked in the first two years, if he takes good care of his body, the problem will be almost solved in three or five years. There is no need to worry too much about the heirs."
I read a lot, and I know some medical science.
This kind of chronic medicine is not an acute medicine, but it has room for relief.
The eighth prince took a breath and nodded: "Yeah, don't be in a hurry..."
Not having a son is his shortcoming, but it also proves that he can help his eldest brother with peace of mind, making outsiders less defensive.
Prince, Prince...
The eighth prince gritted his teeth so hard that he had to give himself some flower dew. He was afraid that at that time, the prince would have a plan and wanted to push Hongxi to him.
Too much bullying...

Tuoyuan Bookstore, main hall.
Seeing the Crown Princess coming over, the Crown Prince was a little surprised.
Although the husband and wife lived together in the Tuoyuan Bookstore, they never interfered with each other. One was in the main hall and the other was in the back hall.
The prince rarely goes to the back, and the prince rarely goes to the front.
Treat each other with respect.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
"The Crown Princess is looking for help?"
The prince asked her to sit down, and the couple talked.
In the early years, the prince had a grudge against the princess and didn't like the emperor's regard for her. Thinking about it now, it's very funny.
They are husband and wife, both prosperous and devastated.
The age difference between him and the Crown Princess delayed his wedding, and he couldn't blame the Crown Princess for this.
She is the Crown Princess chosen by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
The Crown Princess nodded and said: "The emperor's grandson Gegeduo is staying here now. The niece of Zhijun Prince's Mansion treated us to a treat a few days ago. This time it is Sangege's turn. The post has been sent out. Sangege invites the sisters to visit the garden later. Let me tell you in advance.
"When the brothers and sisters come to pick up the children, there may be some noise."
After hearing this, the prince glanced at the princess and said disapprovingly: "Sangege should not get involved in such a boring banquet. Sangege has a different status from them."
The Crown Princess looked at the Prince with a calm expression and said: "They are all royal grandsons, so what's the difference? Those born by concubines are just fine, but the ones born by direct descendants, when they are married and ennobled in the future, it is impossible to say that they are all Heshuogege."
Heshuogege is the princess and the third daughter of the clan.
The crown prince's legitimate daughter and the prince's legitimate daughter can both be granted the title of Heshuogege.
The princes do not have princes at the moment, but the royal family should have high titles, and they will not be compared to the clan.
Prince: "..."
He became irritated and said: "It is of no benefit to keep the three girls in the palace and interact with them like this."
The Crown Princess said: "My uncles and sisters, we have been friends since we were young, just based on friendship."
The prince looked at the princess and felt heartbroken.
The princess looked at the prince and said, "Hongjin is in the study, and he often interacts with his cousins."
Prince: "..."
Thinking of this son, the prince felt even more disgusted.
The biological mother is just out of character and her background is too low, so she cannot use her status to suppress her cousins.
Born in thirty-five years, he is considered the eldest among the emperor's grandsons, but there are Hongsheng from the fifth elder brother's family and Hongyu from the eldest elder brother's family, so he cannot be the leader in the study room.
However, his qualifications are mediocre and he even seems a little clumsy.
This study room is filled with teachers arranged by the emperor. Whether the emperor or his grandson is wise or foolish is in the eyes of the emperor.
There is no successor...
He lowered his eyes and said: "If I know this, I will tell others to pay attention and not let anyone hit the female family members."
This is also the purpose of the Crown Princess coming.
Tuoyuan Bookstore is not only the prince's residence, but also the place where he studies and works. There are also ministers who come and go to study and lecture to the bachelors.
When the Crown Princess left, the Crown Prince's expression returned to calm.
This small banquet was a precedent set by the Prince of Zhijun.
The boss is still as annoying as ever, showing off his status as the eldest son and eldest brother all the time...

North Fifth House, main room.
The couple had a great time playing with the little man waving a fan.
"When the time comes, follow this and make an enlarged one, put it in the house, and use it at night..."
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu and said slyly.
Shu Shu looked at it and missed the electric fan.
Just thinking about it, I know that Brother Jiu's idea is beautiful, but it is not very feasible.
The clockwork can only make a few turns at most, and the fan will stop after just a few turns.
Brother Jiu then said: "Refer to this mechanism to make a Buddha statue..."
Shu Shu listened and thought of the Lucky Cat for some reason.
Maybe, without any effort, you can make a Bodhisattva wave...
