Chapter 70 The Last Outbreak
Physician Hu interrogated Kangxi through the curtain, so he didn't notice that Kangxi heard him say that the crown prince left the palm of his hand and grasped it suddenly. Perhaps what Kangxi had in mind was probably Yinfeng's doing, and he knew the most. The son is Yinfeng.When he was sick in bed some time ago, he was by his side and took care of everything. Every day, he would find the imperial physician to inquire about his condition.However, this time he left without giving any orders. Reminiscent of his uneasy appearance these days, he had to doubt the prince.Doctor Hu was the one who was questioned the most during that period. This time he emphasized it specially, and he must have felt that it was unusual.Baocheng, Baocheng, what are you thinking, why don't you choose to do this after I recover?
Kangxi is [-]% sure that the prince did this, because if it is the remnants of the previous dynasty or the enemy country, it is impossible to choose such a tactful method. Only people in the palace will choose this method. Adding poison for a long time is not something ordinary people can do. did it.First of all, there is no record of anyone using Afulan in the Tai Hospital, so they can only be smuggled into the palace. They secretly checked whether anyone bought Afulan in various pharmacies in the capital. Aphrodite is not grown in the local area, and it is relatively rare. The people who buy it are either rich or expensive. It's coming out soon, and it was bought by a small official, who unfortunately has a relationship with Suo'etu.Secondly, it is not easy to place people in the imperial pharmacy. The people who work there are all carefully selected. Being able to get in touch with these people can not only be bribed by the front, but also powerful.If the emperor dies, the crown prince will benefit the most. How can this not be suspected?
Because it was just a guess, Kangxi still had a glimmer of hope. He waited to see the person hiding in the dark attack again. He pretended not to notice and continued to drink the tonic, gradually revealing that he died of illness. In less than two months, he should be completely weak , poor appetite, rest in bed every day.
A month later, a highly respected man died in the royal family. Ma Hun, the king of An County, was the only remaining prince of the older generation.Kangxi understood that Marhun's funeral must be handled properly. Marhun's life has represented the older generation who have made contributions to the royal family. The emperor should not treat him and his descendants badly to show that the royal family treats heroes well.Therefore, the loss of Marhun was very grand. Kangxi personally issued an imperial decree to commend Marhun's attack. His eldest son inherited his throne, and his youngest son was also awarded a title, fertile land, and countless money.
In a month, Kangxi's substitute "weakened" a lot, and he often coughed in the court, and the ministers knelt down one after another to ask the emperor to take care of the dragon's body.
On the third day of Marhun's funeral, someone delivered a memorial, and Shen Tuo Heqi had a drink for the imperial decree during the loss of King Anjun.Kangxi was "furious", which was a blatant disregard of the imperial decree and a serious violation of the emperor's prestige.When the prince heard the news, he immediately thought that this matter must be dealt with quickly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. He had a hunch that this matter was very important.
Who is Toheqi?Tuoheqi, whose surname is Eshan, is the capital commander of the imperial guard directly under the emperor's control, and he is the emperor's confidant.Kangxi did this at the beginning just to express his lack of favoritism, but he did not expect that the results of the investigation later shocked him.Although the prince had made arrangements in advance, it failed to prevent the deterioration of the matter.The official at the gathering that day was someone who had been arranged by Yinhu Yinzhen long ago. When the incident happened, he deliberately acted very scared, which aroused suspicion from others, and he was arrested and imprisoned.Because he was "unbearable to interrogate", he quickly found out all the officials who participated that day. During the period, the prince used countless connections to try to kill people, but in the end they were all resolved by Yinzhen and Yinhu, and the official passed smoothly. Report everyone to the emperor.
When Kangxi saw the list submitted by the presiding judge of Dali Temple, he suddenly understood that this was not an ordinary indulgent vocal music, but a gathering of cronies with a purpose. Let's see who they are!Infantry Commander Tuo Heqi, Minister of Punishment Qi Shiwu, Minister of War Geng E, and the others are military officials such as the Eight Banners Dutong and Deputy Dutong.Even among the feasters, there was a map of the capital, including Xin Zheku, who was originally a subordinate of King Anjun!According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, close contacts between civil servants and military officials are prohibited!All the flags gather together to drink!In a rage, Kangxi ordered everyone to be imprisoned, and no one was allowed to intercede, and ordered to find out what they wanted to do!Trial one by one!
Erqilun was terrified. He was not afraid of being caught at the party, but he was afraid of being interrogated. He didn't know how much pain he could bear without telling his biggest secret.But he has no confidence at all. He has been to prison before and knows what will happen here.When he stepped into a separate interrogation room, he could barely stand.What's all around this wall?Iron hooks, iron wires, whips, grooming tools, and a burning iron outside the door, the blood left on it has turned black.Once upon a time, he saw the scene of the prisoner being tortured clearly replaying in his mind, one after another miserable screams, and the sound of the whip cracking, he seemed to see a red-hot iron pressing on himself, "Ah!" With a scream, Erqilun has not been interrogated yet, and has already fainted from the fright of his rich imagination.
The people around were dumbfounded, why is this person so cowardly, he was so scared that he fainted?How did he climb up to the position of Dutong?Still a man?When the interrogating officer saw this situation, his eyes lit up. According to his years of experience, this person would be his entry point.When Erqilun woke up again, the surroundings were even darker, with only a faint light, a figure behind the candlelight, whose face could not be seen clearly, Erqilun only felt horrible.
"Awake? Then let's get started."
Erqilun is like the end of a crossbow, "I will go out, you don't want to rely on others!"
The man laughed, what a confused person he is, one has to learn to bow his head under the eaves, he thought he was still a court official? "Heh, doesn't this lord know that the emperor has identified you as a traitor?"
"What's the matter with my majestic governor, a traitor! You don't want to spout blood!"
"Crack!" He smashed something heavily, and said with a sneer, "My lord, don't pretend to be crazy! Hmph, it's useless to delay the time. I'm asking you, what are your plans?"
Erqilun finally understood his situation, and thinking of the prince, it was like grasping at the last straw. The prince will definitely save him, he will definitely, he will definitely be afraid that he will tell his secret, and he will definitely save him. my own.Threatening: "Wait for me to go out, I'll see you, you wait." The extremely stupid words finally angered the interrogator, and he immediately ordered Erqilun to be punished, first with whipping, Erqilun held his breath, He kept yelling and cursing, but when he saw the jailer gradually approaching him with a red iron, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the yelling and cursing stopped abruptly. , he is afraid of this!Winking at another jailer, the man understood, and approached Erqilun with a soldering iron. Seeing that the soldering iron was only half a step away, his exposed skin became more and more dry and scorching. In an instant, he mustered all his energy, "I'll do it! I'll do it!" Then there was a smell of urine, and Erqilun was so frightened that he couldn't control himself.
Erqilun asked him to tidy up, but he was not allowed. The officials were worried that he would make up lies during this period, so not only did they not agree, but they did not tell Erqilun to let go of the shelf, and immediately interrogated him.At this time, there is no human rights. As long as you commit a crime, you can wait to live like a pig or a dog.
Sure enough, Erqilun was evasive in his words, and the officials kept asking this and that, looking for his flaws. In this way, Erqilun was broken again and again. How much money did he embezzle and how much did he pay? Personally, how did he fall out with the eighth elder brother, how did he get on the prince's side, how did he climb up to his current position, and why did he gather at Tuoheqi's house.But he never talked about the trivial matter of the crown prince murdering the emperor, he just thought about it now, just live.What he is saying now will only lose his power and status, but he still has a chance to live.He is different from others, he knows the biggest secret of the prince, the prince will definitely save him, he knows his biggest secret, he will save him.Erqilun kept comforting himself, persuading himself to be quiet.
At night, he suddenly burst into tears. He would think about the ups and downs of the past six months, and how happy his daughter was to become the Eight Fujin.The eighth elder brother went to seek refuge with the prince if he didn't help himself, but now he was waiting for others to rescue him in the prison.If he hadn't joined the prince, if he hadn't gone to Eshan mansion, how could he be in this situation?He didn't dare to ask the eighth elder brother. If the prince knew that he was looking for the eighth elder brother, he would definitely not save himself and could only rely on the prince.But why did he feel that the prince would not come, the desire to live was too strong, Erqi Lun ignored the most real thought in his heart, the prince he was waiting for in fear.
