Emperor Kangxi smiled: "My heart is on fire. With these cool things, I feel better."

Concubine De agreed and turned back to look at Sifujin with a sad face.

Luo Jianing could only force a smile and ask the emperor to continue eating.

After eating a large bowl of ice, Emperor Kangxi seemed to feel a little better. He lay down again and began to chatter.

He said that Xiao Qi almost fell into the water and died, but luckily Si Fujin rescued her. He also said that Xiao Wu was almost poisoned to death by the maid, but luckily Si Fujin saved her. He also said that Thirteen

Brother's leg disease, and he also mentioned that the Queen Mother at least met the fifth princess before she died...

As Emperor Kangxi spoke, his eloquence became less eloquent and began to become vague. He did not forget to tell Concubine De: "I am very satisfied with the choice of my daughter-in-law."

Finally, he called Yinzhen to him, tried hard to open his cloudy eyes, hooked Yinzhen's sleeves with his fingers, and said stumblingly: "Son, I, I can't help you. I, one day, one day

None of them have allowed you to become the crown prince."

After saying this, the old man suddenly became unwell. He gasped for air, but could not let the gas enter his airway smoothly. He kept trying to breathe, but he always had more air coming out and less air coming in.

Luo Jianing couldn't bear it anymore and her tears kept flowing.

Yinzhen cried and shouted: "Huang Ama!"

Emperor Kangxi held Concubine De's hand and kept asking: "Where are the other children? Let them come to see me!" As he said this, he kept looking out the window.

At this moment, the fifth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, the twelfth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother hurried over.

Emperor Kangxi looked outside and looked expectantly: "Is anyone else coming?"

Everyone present knew that it was still the person he wanted to see.

Even though that son disappointed him time and time again and broke his heart countless times, what he loved most was still the son he had taught and raised since childhood.

But at this moment, no one dared to take the risk and let the second prince come over.

The second prince had been the crown prince for so many years, and no one could guarantee that if Emperor Kangxi saw him before his death, he would suddenly change his mind and change his words.

Facing the emperor's earnest eyes and expectant look, the twelfth elder brother strode over and knelt down in front of the bed.

"Huang Ama." The twelfth elder brother said with tears: "No one else is willing to come. Fourth brother has already asked someone to inform the sons. However, we were the only ones who were worried about Huang Ama, so we rushed over. The others

I was indifferent, so I didn’t come.”

The old emperor's eyes quickly dimmed.

He thought that as a kind-hearted person like the fourth child, he would definitely inform the second child. After all, he loved the second child so much, so the fourth child must know.

Now that the fourth child has given notice, it turns out that the second child is unwilling to come.

After Emperor Kangxi heard this, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye. He slowly closed his eyes, and the tear fell on the pillow along his old, wrinkled skin.

After a while.

Loud cries of pain resounded in the Qianqing Palace.

——The Emperor has passed away!!!

After the news came out, everyone in the harem was filled with grief.

The painful bells rang and could be heard clearly throughout the capital.

In the capital, many people realized what happened belatedly and hurried to the palace. Especially the ministers who supported the eighth prince and other princes wanted to fight for the princes they supported at this time.

You can't win it when the emperor is here, but now that the emperor is gone, isn't there any room left?

The emperor did not even establish a heir until his death! This means there is still a glimmer of hope!

Those people worked hard for their own future success, hoping that the prince they supported could win the best position.

However, when they hurriedly arrived, they discovered that Longkodo and the others had brought many people under control of the situation in the previous dynasty. Even though more and more people came later, they were unable to change the current situation.

Some people angrily said: "You treacherous ministers and traitors! The emperor passed away, and we should come to express our condolences! Are you actually trying to control the court?"

Longkodo was not in a hurry and earnestly advised: "Before the emperor died, he appointed the fourth elder brother as the prince. The prince is staying in front of the emperor's bed to fulfill his filial piety. We, the ministers, naturally have to help the prince to protect this great country.

"

"Establishing a prince?" Others sneered again and again: "The emperor was fine at noon yesterday, but suddenly the door collapsed, and suddenly a prince was established...Longkodo, don't think that your Tong Jiajia family is without Lord Tong Guowei.

You can cover the sky with just one hand! This world does not belong to the 'four'!"

Ma Qi suddenly came out and raised his hands to the ministers: "Everyone, listen to me. The emperor did appoint Prince Yong as the crown prince before his death. If you don't believe it, we can read the emperor's last edict."

At this moment, another loud voice suddenly sounded.

The tenth prince howled at the top of his lungs: "The fourth brother is too unreasonable. Emperor Ama encountered such a big thing, and he actually didn't let us come over! He stayed by Huang Ama's side. Who knows if the edict was fake?

Yes, did he forge it?"

"That's right!" Ninth Brother followed and shouted: "If Emperor Ama wants to pass the throne to Eighth Brother, and the fourth child is guarding over there, he will have to force Emperor Ama to write to him.

Isn’t that a joke!”

All the ministers started shouting.

The entire front hall was buzzing with noise and order was in chaos.

At this moment, Liang Jiugong walked over with his body bent.

Because his most beloved master passed away suddenly, he instantly became much older. His back, which was still able to hold up, was now bent. He coughed frequently when walking, and it was obvious that his health was not in good condition.

Everyone knows that Eunuch Liang is extremely trusted by the emperor. This trust has not changed for decades. His words should represent the emperor's own thoughts.

Everyone present was waiting with bated breath for Mr. Liang to speak.

"It's actually not accurate to say it's a posthumous edict." Liang Jiugong covered his lips and coughed a few times before saying, "Your Majesty... the late emperor had actually written an edict establishing Prince Yong as the crown prince a few years ago, but in those years some princes were still ready to do it.

In order not to hurt the harmony of the brothers, Prince Yong asked the late emperor to put the edict away first. Now it is just right to take it out."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was stunned.

The news that Ma Qi and Longkodo received was an oral instruction given to them by Prince Yong, saying that he had a succession edict and told them to just stop people and not worry about anything.

But what they didn't expect was that the edict was not the emperor's last edict before his death. It had been written long ago, but it was hidden in a reliable place and no one had ever dug it out.

Ma Qi, Longkodo and several other important ministers who supported Prince Yong all looked at each other.

Other courtiers were shouting: "Eunuch Liang, since you said that, you might as well take out the edict and show it to us!"

There are some people here who clearly support the second prince or the eighth prince.

Witnessed by several important officials in the court, several young disciples around Liang Jiugong personally went to the back of the plaque in Qianqing Palace and took out the emperor's previous imperial edict, which was the one that established the fourth elder brother Yinzhen as the crown prince.

It was these little eunuchs who put the things there at that time, and now they took them out very quickly.

As soon as the imperial edict appeared, Longkodo immediately led people to surround the little eunuch holding the imperial edict to prevent others from touching the edict again.

Just at this time, Prince Yong came slowly and slowly.

Longkodo immediately knelt down and bowed to Yinzhen: "I have seen the new emperor." As he said that, he turned his head and looked at the ministers next to him.

Several important ministers knelt down one after another: "I have seen the new emperor, long live the emperor."

The tenth prince was very unwilling and shouted: "Who knows if the imperial edict is fake? Huang Ama has never mentioned that he would make you the prince before! Now it suddenly happens like this. Who knows if you deliberately forced Huang Ama to write it?

of!"

With that said, Brother Ten pointed at Liang Jiugong: "Maybe this old servant is in the same group with you! Emperor Ama is dead, whatever you want to say is done!"

Yinzhen suddenly looked over with cold eyes, his eyes sharp: "Old Shi, do you know what you are talking about?" He pointed in the direction of Qianqing Palace in the distance: "Huang Ama just passed away, and his bones are not yet cold. You actually said this

If you want to disturb brotherhood! Even when Emperor Ama was still alive, you would not be allowed to say such words!"

Brother Ten wants to talk more.

Brother Jiu pulled his arm and said, "Speak less!"

The tenth prince refused to accept it and shouted at the top of his lungs: "I want to see the edict! Show it to me! If I say it is Huang Ama's handwriting, then it will be true. If I say it is not, then it will be false.

!”

Yinzhen sneered, pointed at the tenth prince, and shouted sternly: "Get him! In front of Huang Ama's palace, Prince Dun was so presumptuous. Fortunately, Huang Ama treated Prince Dun very kindly during his lifetime. But he didn't want to

This person has such a temper!"

Brother Ten frowned and looked around: "Who dares? Who dares to take me?"

Yinzhen looked at the Imperial Guards with cold eyes.

The commander of the Royal Forest Army had just seen the edict not far away. At this time, he hesitated for a moment and waved his hand: "Get Prince Dun."

After saying that, the commander of the Royal Forest Army showed his sword at his waist: "Whoever dares to be disrespectful to the prince must not blame my sword for being blind!"

The tenth prince howled and was dragged out by the imperial guards.

The other remaining ministers were silent, and no one dared to say another word. A thin layer of sweat broke out on everyone's backs, and they looked at the new prince with some uncertainty.

In the past, Prince Yong was mostly peaceful, even though he had a stern face, he was not harsh to others.

Now he changed his body and suddenly the door became so fierce, which made everyone present feel scared.

Everyone has the same thought in their hearts: Did Prince Yong become like this after receiving the imperial decree of succession, or has he always had this temper, but he just hid it before?

Some time later, the funeral of Emperor Kangxi was held grandly, and the temple was named Qingshengzu.
