After entering Changchun Garden, immediately some guards from Kangxi led Yinzhen to Chunhui Hall. Today's Changchun Garden has three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post, which is many times tighter than usual, especially Chunhui Hall where Kangxi lived.
, the level of vigilance is such that not even a fly can even think of flying over.
Along the way, Yinzhen couldn't remember how many sentry posts he passed before arriving at the main hall of Chunhui Hall. The person guarding him was Zhang Tingyu, then the bachelor of Baohe Hall and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He bowed to Yinzhen and stood behind him, sighing.
He said in a voice: "The Emperor is inside, Fourth Master, hurry in."
Yinzhen agreed and turned around and entered the inner hall. There was a charcoal fire inside, but it was not very warm because half of the windows were open. From outside the window, he could see the night sky heavy with snow. The snow was heavier than when he came.
After a few minutes, catkins fell from the sky like willow catkins. Occasionally, a few pieces floated into the house and immediately turned into snow.
Kangxi lay quietly on the bed, looking out the window at the snowy night with cloudy eyes. It was difficult to see the ups and downs of his body under the brocade quilt. Li Dequan was standing beside him, and Hongli stood aside with red eyes.
Although there were many worries about the future in his heart, Yinzhen still couldn't help but feel sad when he saw Kangxi. For more than forty years, Huang Ama's eyes have always been wise and clear.
I have time to see everything clearly, and cannot tolerate a trace of turbidity, and now...
No matter how majestic a man is, he can't beat the sharp blade of time. The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. He couldn't help crying and threw himself in front of the bed, crying: "Huang Ama, my son is here, your dragon body is okay."
?”
Kangxi slowly turned his head, a faint smile appeared on his face, and immediately glanced at Li Dequan, who understood and said to Hongli: "Brother Li, the emperor has something to say to Brother Si, let's go out first.
.”
Hongli was also aware of things. He nodded with red eyes and walked outside with Li Dequan.
When only the father and son were left in the room, Kangxi sighed softly and said weakly: "Fourth brother, do you know why I called you here all night?"
"I don't know." Yinzhen knelt down in front of the bed, crying.
Kangxi scolded lightly and said: "Forgot what I taught you. If a man bleeds but does not shed tears, there is nothing to cry about, let alone I am not dead yet!" Without waiting for Yinzhen's reply, he added: "I am here.
It has been sixty and one year now, and I still have one under my knees
There are more than 20 princes. Among them, I originally placed my hope on Yinfeng. Unfortunately, he has been the prince for more than 40 years, but he still cannot meet my expectations. The eldest is vulgar, the third is incompetent, but the eighth is capable.
Ability, but his mother's family comes from
His body is too low, and Lao Ba has learned from me everywhere over the years, but he has always been more tolerant than me. I am tolerant, and he is even more tolerant than me. I govern the country with tolerance, but he wins people's hearts with tolerance. When he first deposed Yinreng
, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty actually had
One out of ten times is on his side." When he said this, he sighed heavily, "It's just that such tolerance will only make the administration more corrupt, and eventually lead to an irreversible point, so he is not me
The one you want."
Yinzhen listened quietly and did not dare to answer. Kangxi rested for a while and then said: "Old nine and ten will not talk about it. As for old thirteen, he is a true-tempered man who does whatever he thinks. He never
To cover up, such a person is also unfit to be a king. There are still fourteenth and seventeenth. The fourteenth is guilty of the same problem as the ninth. As for the tenth
Seven, he is still too young and lacks experience in many things. As for you... you have abilities and means. I have watched you for many years and everything you do puts the court first, which is good. But you also have shortcomings.
You are moody and angry, and you are not tolerant of others. Sometimes your emotions easily influence your judgment. If the court calls you a cold-faced prince, it is not an injustice."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen said hurriedly: "I know that I still have many shortcomings. I will definitely correct these shortcomings in the future. Please rest assured, Emperor Ama."
"That's good." Kangxi nodded happily and took out a picture from the side. There was only a big word "forbearance" on it. After Yinzhen took it, he said: "Hang it in the south study room and read it every day."
Look, don’t forget what I said today.”
"Huang Ama..." Yinzhen stared blankly at Kangxi, looking at each other day and night in the south study room. He knew what this meant. Is Huang Ama really going to pass the throne to him?
"I was too tolerant in my later years, which led to the corruption of officialdom in the imperial court over the years. This is my fault, but I am old and unable to correct it anymore. I can only choose an iron-fisted emperor for the Qing Dynasty to bring the officialdom back to the right path. Yinzhen, you
Don’t let down my expectations!”
Yinzhen was excited and sad at the same time. He kowtowed hard and cried: "Don't worry, Emperor Ama. Even if I risk my life, I will not let Huang Ama down."
"That's good." Kangxi seemed to have put down a big worry, his brows relaxed a little, and he looked at the snowflakes that continued to float into the house and said: "I thought that I would not be able to see the snow scene this year, but I didn't expect that God would show mercy.
, let me take another look at the beautiful scenery of winter snow before my deadline comes, and I will have no regrets in this life."
Kangxi liked snow, because every time it snowed, it reminded him of many things, especially the woman who had raised him for several years. When she died, it happened to be a heavy snowfall.
"Huang Ama will not die, no way." Yinzhen couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears.
"Idiot, everyone in the world will die, and the emperor is no exception. What's more, if I don't die, how can I free up this throne for you." Kangxi chuckled, without much sadness.
"As long as Emperor Amarong is healthy and lives a long life, I would rather not take the throne." Yinzhen burst into tears. At this moment, he was really sad.
Kangxi shook his head and said: "I have left a legacy behind the bright plaque of the Qianqing Palace. Both Zhang Tingyu and Longkodo know that once I die, they will take out the legacy. As for Longkodo, you
You can also trust him. Although Tong Guowei is close to Lao Ba and the others, Longkodo has never had much involvement with Lao Ba. He will help you to be a hero."
"My son, I have recorded it." Yinzhen was moved in his heart. He knew that Kangxi must have made a lot of secret preparations for this day, all just to ensure that he could succeed to the throne.
"One more thing." Kangxi took a breath and suddenly grabbed Yinzhen's shoulders with force, his dry fingers seemed to be clawing into his flesh through his clothes, "No matter what your brothers have done, they will always be you."
My brothers, sisters, and relatives, promise me that you will not harm their lives after you ascend the throne, unless you want me to die in peace."
Yinzhen endured the pain in his shoulder and said solemnly: "I promise Emperor Ama that I will treat all brothers well and never harm my brothers' lives."
"That's good." Kangxi knew that this son would never go back on his promise; on the contrary, if it were Lao Ba or Lao Fourteen, they would certainly agree, but once they ascend to the throne, it is unknown whether they will keep their promise.
This is one of the reasons why he decided to pass the throne to Yinzhen.
"Also, Hongli is a very smart child. Take good care of him and don't treat him badly." Kangxi warned again uneasily. After talking for so long, Kangxi was very tired, and the light in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
The hair is dim, like a candle in the wind, it will be extinguished at any time...
