Chapter 1223 If you are made a prince, what should you do?
"Fourth, all the ministers in the court have recommended you as the crown prince. You have seen it yourself. If you are appointed as the crown prince, what will you do?"
Emperor Kangxi waited for a long time but did not see the Fourth Master speaking, so he asked.
After hearing this, the fourth master frowned slightly, and then immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying in a very solemn tone: "Your Majesty, my son, I would never dare to act like a prince!
Furthermore, the matter of the second brother has not been found out yet.
The second brother has been the crown prince for more than thirty years, but I don't think his own is better than the second brother's.
I implore the Emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly.
If the second brother is innocent, please also ask Emperor Ama to consider restoring the crown prince."
After finishing speaking, Fourth Master knocked his head heavily on the ground with a very determined expression.
Emperor Kangxi was not sure for a moment whether what the fourth master said was true or false. He just narrowed his eyes and looked at the fourth master: "Fourth master, do you really have no expectations for the position of prince?"
"Huang Ama, in fact, I had it before when I was still young. I thought that Huang Ama was the most powerful person in the world, and I also longed for it.
However, later on, when my sons and ministers got older, they saw Huang Ama working so hard and did not dare to slack off.
Seeing that my second brother didn't dare to make a mistake, I didn't think about it again.
Huang Ama and his son Chen have a rigid personality, while Fujin is casual and most of the children are also naughty.
What my son has always wanted is to be an idle prince.
If there is anything useful in the court, the sons and ministers will go through fire and water.
If there is singing and dancing in the court, the ministers there will find a village to live in peace and prosperity.
Erchen is also thinking about planting a piece of land to grow some vegetables that everyone loves to eat.
My son also works at sunrise and rests at sunset. Yu'er stays at home and cooks meals for my son. How comfortable is the life?"
The fourth master's voice was not loud, but Emperor Kangxi felt that the fourth master's voice had a sense of etherealness.
In fact, Emperor Kangxi just thought that if Lao Si said that he really hadn't thought about it, then he must be lying.
As a prince, he has more or less several ministers under him, not to mention that the fourth child has now taken the position of prince.
It would be strange if he didn't have such an idea.
But after hearing what he just said, Emperor Kangxi was suddenly stunned again.
Yes, once you sit in this position, is everything really fine?
Everyone else saw that he was a ninety-five-year-old man, but, as the fourth child said, the burden on him could not be relaxed for a moment.
Once upon a time, I also thought about what if when the emperor asked him if he wanted to be emperor, he had chosen another answer...
So...now, will he be just a prince like his second brother?
Will he also have nothing to do, take his Fujin, go sightseeing, make wine and taste tea?
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Kangxi once again looked at the Fourth Master carefully.
Everyone has their own obsessions, especially when they are young. When they are four years old and still young, it is not easy to be able to see clearly.
I remember that when the fourth child was young, his temper was somewhat erratic. It could be said that he was moody and angry. People around him couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
He had a withdrawn personality and seldom got along with others. Emperor Kangxi also had trouble with this.
Now, except for this cold face, he can hardly see the shadow of his youth.
Over the years, Emperor Kangxi saw different Laosi.
I dealt with him several times, all because he wanted to go up to Zhuangzi.
I also thought of all the birthday gifts he had given me over the years, which were either ears of wheat, grains of jade, or potatoes.
Things have been getting better these past few years, maybe because of my fourth wife, who gives me a cake every year.
But crops are also indispensable.
Emperor Kangxi thought that maybe he really longed for such a life of leisurely clouds and wild cranes.
But...how can it be that easy?
Looking at his resolute son in front of him, Emperor Kangxi suddenly felt a little soft-hearted. No one in the Aixinjueluo family could live like that, so how could the fourth child be able to fulfill his wish?
At that moment, Emperor Kangxi said with a bluffing face: "Fourth, do you know what you are talking about?
As the prince of the Qing Dynasty, do you know what responsibilities you are born to shoulder?
The days of leisurely clouds and wild cranes belong to others.
From the moment you were born, you were destined to have responsibilities on your shoulders."
Seeing that the fourth master was in a daze, Emperor Kangxi sighed again and said: "Get up, sit down and talk to me."
The Fourth Master obediently sat down on the chair next to him, looked at Emperor Kangxi, and seemed hesitant to speak.
Emperor Kangxi glared at him: "If you have something to say, just say it. What are you doing looking like this?"
The fourth master immediately said: "Huang Ama, don't you think it's a little strange that so many courtiers recommend their son as the prince?"
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's strange? You are also very good. Now as a prince, you have the highest title among all the princes, and you have four legitimate sons. You don't have to worry about heirs at all.
, it is indeed very suitable to recommend you as the crown prince." As he spoke, Emperor Kangxi drooped his eyelids, picked up the tea lid, lifted it, and then brought Cha Zhan to his mouth. It was hard to tell what his mood was.
The Fourth Master couldn't figure out what Huang Ma was thinking for a while, so he just smiled bitterly and said:
"Huang Ama, please don't ridicule your son. Aren't all the things I have today given to you by Huang Ama?
Speaking of which, the last time Emperor Ama made his son a prince, he felt that he couldn't bear it.
However, thinking that Huang Ama might have Huang Ama’s intentions, I bit the bullet and took it.
Now it seems that we still need to find out what happened to the second brother as soon as possible."
Seeing Emperor Kangxi looking at him directly again, the fourth master said again: "By the way, Emperor Ama, I have found out some clues about Thirteenth."
Then, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and presented it to Emperor Kangxi with both hands.
After Emperor Kangxi saw it, he frowned slightly.
The above-mentioned matter is Xiaoshisan's personal eunuch Xiaoluzi, and there is something wrong with the words "Reverse Qing Dynasty and Fu Ming Dynasty" on the soles of his feet.
It looked like it was stabbed in a hurry.
I didn't pay much attention to it before, thinking it was different after soaking in the lake water. Later I found out that the soles of his feet were different from those that had been carved for a long time.
Fourth Master said again: "Huang Ama, from this we can see that someone actually wanted to frame Little Thirteen, and he was accidentally involved.
Here, Emperor Ama, judging from time, this matter has nothing to do with my second brother."
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi frowned slightly: "I told you not to investigate this matter. Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?"
The fourth master immediately knelt down and said: "Huang Ama, this matter concerns the second brother and the thirteenth brother. How can I stand by and watch?
Furthermore, there is something fishy about this matter after all, maybe it is the person who rebelled against the party and came to alienate the relationship between father and son. I sincerely ask the Emperor to investigate."
