Chapter 893 Isn't It Easy to Abolish the Fourth Brother

"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about Huang Ama's distribution this time. If he really intends to pass the throne to the fourteenth brother, when he returns to Beijing to recuperate, he should bring the fourteenth brother back. Stay at the border. Moreover, he knew that we were close to the fourteenth brother, so he deliberately separated the fourteenth brother from us, so that we could not act together."

"So, in order to prevent us from colluding with the fourteenth younger brother to force the palace, Huang Ama has already taken precautions." Jiu Ye frowned.

He who was still swearing in his vows suddenly realized something.

The fourth brother sacrificed instead of the emperor.

But the fourteenth brother was fighting at the border.

One stayed in the capital, and the other was transferred to the border.

It sounds a little hanging!

"It can be said so. However, he may have been protecting us for himself in the past, but now he may be paving the way for Fourth Brother." Eighth Master said gently.

"I think it's not just now. Ever since the second brother died, Huang Ama asked the fourth brother to manage the Yellow River, and called officials from all over the country to the capital to listen to the fourth brother imparting agricultural knowledge." Speaking of this, the ninth master said angrily: "I don't know what Huang Ama likes about the fourth brother. No wonder he likes his decisive and iron-fisted cruel methods?"

This is the political wisdom, which is called "help the horse and send it off".

Whenever power is transferred, there is usually such a procedure.

Let the predecessor pave the way for the successor and establish authority, Kangxi did the same.

"Maybe."

"Then what should we do now? We can't sit still, after all, our people have found out clearly that Huang Ama doesn't have much time left. If the fourth brother is allowed to ascend the throne, it will definitely not be as good as ours!" Jiuye said anxiously .

"Now I can only rely on my fourteenth brother."

As soon as Fourteen was mentioned, Master Jiu became interested, his eyes lit up and he said: "That's easy to say, let's write a letter directly and ask him to lead troops from the border to the Forbidden City, that's all."

"It's possible, but it's quite difficult."

"What's the matter?" Master Jiu frowned.

"Don't forget, with the black-bellied degree of the fourth brother, Nian Gengyao and Li Wei are in charge of the food and grass of the Western Expedition Army."

"I know that Nian Gengyao is fourteen. Isn't Li Wei our disciple?"

Ba Ye shook his head, "Wrong, Nian Gengyao and Li Wei are both disciples of Fourth Brother."

"What!" A flash of surprise flashed in Jiu Ye's eyes, "It is said that when marching and fighting, soldiers and horses go before the food and grass are moved. Now that people control the food and grass, isn't it equivalent to controlling the lifeline of the army? Once the food and grass are taken by Nian Gengyao Cut off with Li Wei, let alone a mutiny, I'm afraid it will be difficult to put down the rebellion!"

"It's not important. The most important thing is that when Gengyao was the governor of Chuanxia that year, and the fourteenth brother returned to Beijing from the border, the only way he had to pass was Nian Gengyao's territory. If there was a mutiny, no matter whether it was food or grass , or the location in the field, they all lost the opportunity, after all, Gengyao was not a vegetarian that year."

"It's not just Nian Gengyao, but Fei Yanggu and Wuge also have a lot of military power in the capital. In addition, the fourth brother has other disciples under him. I'm afraid the entire capital is already under his control!"

"Almost." Eighth Master remained calm.

But Master Jiu, whenever he thinks of the bond he made with Fourth Master, his heart trembles.

"No, what did we say that the fourth brother can't be allowed to ascend the throne!" He also questioned: "You said, could it be that we are thinking too much? In fact, it was Huang Ama who passed the throne to the fourteenth brother. After the empress was summoned by Huang Ama, she wrote a letter from home, asking the fourteenth brother to return to Beijing to fulfill his filial piety, and to inherit the throne by the way!"

"Are you sure?" An unpredictable shadow finally flashed in Eighth Master's warm eyes.

"Don't you believe what I say, it's true!"

After getting the exact answer, Ba Ye rolled his eyes, as if he had an idea.

Seeing this, Master Jiu lightly bumped his shoulder, "Brother, you still have a way, we are on the same boat, we have to work together in the future."

"There is a way, but..." Eighth Master paused and analyzed: "Although the fourteenth brother is the king of the general, he only has the right to command the army, not the right to deploy troops. And those soldiers, It’s not a direct-line army trained by him, and it’s okay to suppress the rebellion, but if it really rebels, I’m afraid not many people are determined to fight him.”

"Then don't rebel, counter-rebellion is always possible." Jiu Ye said excitedly: "Anyway, you still have hundreds of officials in the capital, and Shisi has hundreds of thousands of troops at the border. We are attacking from inside and outside, and fourth brother has not yet ascended the throne. , wouldn’t it be easily abolished by us.”

Ba Ye didn't speak, but there was a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, "As long as the fourteenth brother returns to Beijing before Huang Ama passes away, everything is easy to talk about. If he returns to Beijing after Huang Ama passes away, it depends on his To be filial, I still want to fight hard."

Because the Qing Dynasty paid great attention to filial piety.

Since Kangxi ascended the throne, he has ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and the education of the princes also attaches great importance to the filial piety of the Han nationality.

So, if the old emperor dies.

As the elder brothers of the princes, no matter what they need to let go of, it is the most important thing to watch for their father's funeral. After all, all goodness and filial piety come first.

If the fourteenth elder brother pays attention to filial piety, he will naturally be unable to suppress the rebellion.

If he quells the rebellion, he won't be able to guard the spirit immediately. This is something that can't be both.

"Don't worry about anything else, as long as we write a letter to provoke you, I don't believe that with Fourteenth Brother's reckless temper, he can hold his breath!" Jiu Ye said sinisterly.

A pair of peach blossom eyes are also full of viciousness.

If the will is really the fourteenth brother, everything will be easy to handle.

Even if it wasn't, he would make the fourteenth brother have the illusion that the throne belongs to him...

After noon, the sacrifice to heaven ended, and everyone left and returned to their respective mansions.

But fourth master has been so busy recently that the Queen of Heaven has been busy until late at night.

That night, he reviewed the official documents and went to Nianshi's Yanyu Building.

Su Peisheng followed fourth master, saying that Nian Fujin has a good brother.

At the border, he did not forget to care about the girls who lost their children in the capital.

In the following days, Fourth Master, who always pays attention to the rules and gets wet in the rain and dew, was so busy that he only went to the Misty Rain Tower once.

I went to Xinghuachun Pavilion twice.

And the Fourteenth Lord, who was far away at the border, received an imperial edict from Kangxi to call him back to Beijing just after winning the battle.

and two letters from home.

One letter was that Concubine De asked him to return to Beijing as soon as possible to fulfill his filial piety and inherit the throne.

There was another letter, which was naturally written to him by Eighth and Ninth Masters.

The content inside is almost the same as that of Concubine De.

So, the Fourteenth Master traveled hundreds of miles a day and was returning to Beijing triumphantly with hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

However, one month later, before the Fourteenth Master arrived in the capital, Kangxi was about to die.

On this day, Kangxi was lying on the big bed painted with gold and carved dragons, his blue eyelids were heavy.

It can only be blamed for the feeling that there is an invisible force approaching him.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, this familiar place suddenly became strange and blurry, getting farther and farther away from him...

Not long after, the Forbidden City heard the bell ringing only for national funerals.
