"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I did not say something to your Majesty. It was not intentional. It was because I didn't know how to say it at the moment. Your Majesty..." Before Hongli could continue, Yinzhen was already
He raised his hand and said, "Okay, since you don't know what to say, there's no need to say it. You believe you have a sense of propriety."
Yinzhen's words were beyond Hongli's expectation, and he said in a stunned tone: "Huang Ama, you..."
Yinzhen saw the shock in his heart, waved his hand and said: "You think it's incredible that I said such a thing? Or do you think I should force you to ask everything?"
Hongli acquiesced to his words, and immediately knelt down and said: "My son has concealed something from the emperor, and he has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Please punish the emperor!"
"At this moment, you and I are not monarchs and ministers, but father and son. Since we are between father and son, if we make a mistake, it is just a matter of one sentence, not to mention punishment." Yinzhen helped him up and said: "I believe you, so I won't ask you more questions.
I also hope that you will not betray my trust."
"My son will never betray the emperor's trust." Hongli said excitedly, and then added: "My son swears that he will tell the truth to the emperor at the appropriate time!"
After Yinzhen nodded, he added: "But there is one thing you should remember. Never fight swords with Hongshi or other brothers again. Otherwise, even if it is you, I will not be polite. Do you understand?"
Hongli hesitated for a while and said, "What if someone else did something wrong?"
"You mean Hongshi?" Yinzhen revealed what Hongli was thinking in one word, and then said: "After Hongshi entered the Ministry of Justice, everything changed. He was willing to be down-to-earth and serious about his work.
I believe he still has the proper sense of proportion, and he won’t
He did something too outrageous." Just when Hongli's heart sank because of these words, Yinzhen changed the subject and said: "However, if he really did something wrong, don't confront him with swords.
Tell me the matter and I will handle it, understand?"
"Yes, I understand." Seeing Hongli's agreement, Yinzhen nodded and said, "Okay, you can also step back."
"My son, please retire." After Hongli exited the Yangxin Hall, Yinzhen coughed violently. Seeing this, Si Xi quickly walked up to rub Yinzhen's back, and at the same time asked Xiaowu who was waiting outside to make tea quickly.
After Yinzhen drank tea to relieve his cough, he said, "Your Majesty, are you feeling better? Do you want to call the imperial physician to take a look?"
Yinzhen waved his hands and said: "No, I just feel my throat is a little itchy. It's nothing serious. It's worrying to inform the imperial doctor."
Si Xi whispered: "Is the Emperor afraid that Concubine Xi will be worried?"
Yinzhen didn't speak, which was regarded as acquiescing to Si Xi's words. Si Xi thought about it for a moment, but still said uneasily: "But Your Majesty, your cough is getting worse and worse now. If you keep dragging it like this, I'm afraid it will hurt the dragon body even more."
, how about my servant secretly summoning the imperial physician for you to come and have a look, or if that doesn’t work, how about summoning the imperial physician Xu to the palace?"
"I said no, please step back. I want to be alone." After listening to Yinzhen's words, Sixi reluctantly stepped back with Xiaowu, leaving Yinzhen alone in the empty space to nourish his heart.
temple.
Yinzhen put his hands behind his hands and looked at the sky outside the palace gate. It was as blue as blue without any clouds. The sun was shining with a warm spring feeling on every corner of the Forbidden City. Even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Yinzhen knew the glazed tiles under the sun.
How dazzling it is; I also know that the green willows are growing beside Linyuan Pond, and from time to time, orioles fly down on the willow trees and make a beautiful sound.
This is the Forbidden City, a place where countless people want to enter, and even more people want to enter this hall and sit on this royal chair carved with countless golden dragons.
Hongshi has indeed grown a lot, but he is still not the wise candidate in his mind. It is not that he is really so biased towards Hongli, but that Hongshi has changed too much. In other words, his temperament is unstable, but he seems to be doing well now.
, after a few years or more than ten years, or something will happen to stimulate me, I don’t know what it will be like. As a king, even if you make a small mistake, it will be a big deal to the people of the world.
, are all huge disasters, so Hongshi is not suitable.
In comparison, Hongli's temperament has been determined since he was a child, and now the best thing is to make him stronger and calmer.
Moreover, he believed that the child Ling Ruo gave birth to for him must be the most suitable person to inherit the Qing Dynasty. There was no doubt about this.
This time, he did not ask what kind of lie Hongli told. It was not only his trust in Hongli, but also a test for Hongli to see whether he could handle this matter on his own.
As for Hongshi... he has been given the opportunity. If he really doesn't know the rules and lets him know that he has done something he shouldn't do, he will not be polite at all. But Hongli must not do anything, because Hongli is
The heir he chooses must not be stained with the blood of his close relatives, otherwise he will bear the reputation of fratricide for the rest of his life and will never be able to clear it.
Let him be the villain. He has been doing it for most of his life anyway, so it doesn't matter anymore.
Let's say that after Hongli left the Yangxin Palace, he hesitated at the palace gate. He wanted to go to Ling Ruo to tell Ling Ruo what happened from last night to now, and he also wanted to deal with the two heads that were still in the ice cellar as soon as possible. He struggled.
After a long time, I finally decided to deal with matters in the mansion first.
After leaving the palace gate and about to mount the horse, Hong Shi's voice suddenly came to his ears, "Fourth, do you have time to say a few words?"
Hong Li turned around and saw Hong Shi standing behind him at some point. He frowned and said, "What does second brother want to say?"
Hongshi stepped forward and stood side by side with him, saying: "Let's go, let's talk while walking."
Hongli thought for a moment, said nothing, and walked with Hongshi on the way back home. After walking for a while, Hongshi finally said: "Although I am very curious about what Huang Ama said to you, but
Even if I asked, I don't think you would tell me."
Hongli said noncommittally: "Since you know, why are you still waiting for me here?"
"Because I have other things to tell you." After a pause, he said, "What are you going to do with those two heads? Are you going to hand them over to Turichen?"
Hongli smiled faintly and said: "Second Brother, isn't this asking knowingly? I finally got it from Second Brother, so of course I have to use it, otherwise it would be a waste."
Hongshi smiled and said: "I know, but I advise fourth brother not to waste all this time. You and I both know that those two heads have long been beyond recognition. Even if you really get them in front of Tu Lichen, he won't
If I believe what you said, I will think that you are deliberately targeting me."
Hongli was silent for a moment and said: "If this is really the case, why did the second brother wait here to tell me this?"
His words made Hongshi's expression change, and he said: "I just don't want you to waste this effort. If you really thought those two heads could bring me down, you wouldn't have told those lies in front of Huang Ama just now. In fact,
