"I..." Hongzhan didn't believe that Hongshi would be kind to him at all, and he wanted to refuse, but thinking about the Gualjia family behind him, he couldn't say anything.
"Sixth brother, Concubine Jin turned from a good person to a madman because of you. Now she has to lose her life because of you. It's really pitiful. I don't know if she owed you something in her previous life." With that said, Hong
At that time, he stood up and walked towards Hongzhan and Guarjia. Every step he took, Hongzhan's heart would tremble. He protected Guarjia even more tightly and said nervously: "If you kill E Niang, Seventeen
Uncle will not let you go."
Hongshi kept walking and said: "I am destined to die and have nothing. It doesn't matter whether he lets me go or not."
Hongzhan nervously thought about the solution, but in the end he sadly discovered that apart from agreeing to Hongshi's conditions, there was no other way to save Guarjia's life.
When Hongshi took out the dagger hidden in his arms, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, "Okay, I promise you, but you also have to promise me. Why are you forcing me to become emperor like this?
Don't talk to me about the safety of the Qing Dynasty or the stability of the country. Although I am not as old as you, I don't believe in these either."
Hongshi pulled out his dagger, made several gestures on Hongzhan's face, and said, "It seems... I have to speak out."
Hong Zhan felt the coldness on his face and gritted his teeth: "Unless you want to die together."
"Perish together? No, you don't want to let Guarjia die, but it doesn't hurt to tell you. You will know sooner or later anyway." Hongshi smiled and put away the dagger, "You are still young and cannot handle the affairs of the government, so you ascend the throne.
After that, you need to make me the regent, this is the only condition."
Hongzhan suddenly understood, pointed at him and said: "I understand, you want me to be a puppet in your hands."
Hongshi said without changing his expression: "Hey, what kind of puppet is so ugly? This requires us brothers to work together to manage the country left by Huang Ama, so that the Qing Dynasty will be stronger in our hands."
Hongzhan didn't want Hongshi, a villain, to get what he wanted, and he was also afraid that he would hurt the Guarjia family, so he didn't know what to do for a while.
Seeing his hesitation, Hongshi pulled out the dagger again and said, "Brother, I heard that madmen are not afraid of pain. Today I will try to see if this is true."
"No!" Upon hearing this, Hongzhan's entire face turned pale, and he quickly protected the ignorant Guarjia again, clasping his hands tightly and saying, "I...I promise you, but you must
Don't hurt your mother."
Hongshi said with satisfaction: "She is the future emperor's mother-in-law. How can I dare to hurt her? Well, it's settled. After dawn tomorrow, the emperor's mother-in-law will take you to the Yangxin Palace. I'm warning you, but
Don't play any tricks."
"I will definitely do it if I promise." Hongzhan said, but in his heart he had no intention of being a puppet in the hands of Hongshi and Nala. He just wanted to stabilize him first, and then quietly send a letter to Yunli to tell him
Hongshi's evil deeds prompted him to arrest Hongshi quickly.
However, Hongshi went further than he thought. After getting Hongzhan's consent, he called in the two palace attendants who came with him and said, "Take Concubine Jin to Kunning Palace."
Hongzhan was startled and said quickly: "Eniang lives well here, why should she go to Kunning Palace?"
Hongshi said with a smile: "Concubine Jin is here alone. Although she is taken care of by the palace staff, she will inevitably feel lonely. It just happens that she is the companion of Concubine Jin, and with more people, Concubine Jin can be taken care of well."
Some, wouldn’t you say?”
"No, you clearly have bad intentions!" Hongzhan said while shaking his head: "In short, I don't agree with this matter, absolutely not."
Hongshi bent down and said in Hongzhan's ear: "Don't think that I don't know what you have in mind. Anyway, I must take Concubine Jin away. If you insist on stopping me, don't blame me for being rude. You should have listened by now.
That’s a lot to say, but you should know that there are many ways to control a person, such as drugging.”
"You...you are so despicable!" Hongzhan wished he could bite Hongshi's flesh alive, but he had to compromise. He was afraid that Hongshi would really drug Guarjia, so he said: "I will see it at any time.
Mother."
"Guarjia is in Kunning Palace. You can go see her at any time." After saying this, he motioned to the palace attendants to take Gualjia away. Congxiang and his concubines agreed and said quickly: "Master's
The food, clothing and daily necessities have always been served by slaves, please allow the slaves to follow you."
Just when Hongshi was about to refuse, Hongzhan already said: "Second brother is not even willing to agree to such a trivial matter. If so, I doubt how sincere the second brother is."
Hongshi glanced at him and said: "I know how to provoke generals at a young age. It's very good. That's all. Let's go to Kunning Palace with them. But in the morning tomorrow, the sixth brother had better keep his mouth shut.
, don’t say something you shouldn’t say, otherwise I, as the second brother, cannot guarantee what will happen.”
After that, he took Guarjia and others and walked away. When he was about to walk out of the palace gate, he heard the sound of something falling to the ground behind him. He smiled without stopping at all.
Early the next morning, all the officials gathered in Yangxin Hall. After learning that Yunli had called them here to appoint a new king, many people thought that Yinzhen's life and death had not yet been decided, and that they should not discuss the appointment of a new king so early.
Before Yinzhen's new campaign, he always wanted Hongli to succeed to the throne. In the twelfth year of Yongzheng's reign, he even asked him to supervise the country on his behalf.
After carefully listening to the opinions of the ministers, Yunli nodded and said: "The fourth elder brother is naturally the most suitable candidate. Unfortunately, his whereabouts are unknown now, and the fifth elder brother is like that. It seems that only the sixth elder brother is suitable to inherit."
The throne."
Zhang Tingyu stood up and said: "I'm sorry that I don't understand why the prince suddenly summoned my subordinates and others to discuss the appointment of a new king. The most important thing now is not to defend the city and wait for the reinforcements of the Buddha's 200,000 troops."
Yunli remained silent, but another voice sounded clearly in everyone's ears, "I suggested this to Prince Guo."
When all the civil and military officials saw the speaker clearly, their expressions changed. It was not because of anything else but because of the mask on his face. Even if they had never seen it with their own eyes, they had all heard about it. There was a man in the Jungar Army.
He was full of tricks. He once defeated an army of 100,000 led by Li Shumi at the Sarik River.
He was defeated by this person, but he always wore a mask and never showed his true face in front of others. Just yesterday, he went to the city to negotiate with Yunli on behalf of Jungar, but the officials never expected that he would appear in the city.
In the palace, he also said that it was his suggestion to appoint a new king. How could he, a foreigner from the vassal state, have such qualifications?
