Chapter 165 How will the second prince see me? How will the brothers present see me?
Princes: ...
How happy I was just now when I was praised, how painful I am now. It's not that the younger brother loves the older brothers, but that he treats the older brothers as a foundation, specifically to set off your fourth brother?
Kangxi was also speechless about this. How much did this kid love the fourth prince? How much was he afraid that the fourth prince would not become Prince Yong!
Hearing Xiao Shiba bragging about his fans in his mind all day long, Kangxi thought he was the leader of Lao Si's fans.
The fourth one who jumps around every day.
The room was in complete silence after the recommendation, and Yinzhen was a little nervous: "Oh my god, Kangxi dad is silent, will I be making things worse?"
[It doesn’t matter if you get scolded, but don’t let it have a negative impact on Fourth Brother!]
[The winner of the battle for the throne of Kowloon was a tragic one, and even the eldest son was coaxed away by the eighth brother. The fourth brother is already miserable enough, and I don’t want to make it worse because of my own reasons.]
cough cough.
Kangxi cleared his throat quickly, fearing that if he spoke a little slower, he would be accused of something unpleasant again. "Well, you do have some truth in what you said."
"From the autumn and winter of the forty-seventh year to now, all the princes have indeed worked very hard. In their own way, in the areas they are good at, they have contributed to the construction of the Qing Dynasty."
"As the Khan, I should also give rewards as appropriate."
[That’s right. You have to put bait on a hook when fishing, and you have to give up a carrot when fishing for a donkey. Even if he’s your dearest son, there’s no reason to not reward him for his achievements and punish him for his mistakes!]
[It is difficult to be a prince, it is even more difficult to be Kangxi’s prince, and it is even more difficult to be a prince in the eye of the storm in Kangxi’s later years.]
[Tsk tsk, today is another day to sympathize with my brothers. After living in such a high-pressure environment for many years, there are really only two outcomes - either explode in silence or die in silence.]
This is simply asking Kangxi to force his son to rebel!
After a brief silence, coughing sounds were heard one after another in the huge hall.
The princes coughed violently subconsciously, all wanting to save their younger brother from the dire situation.
On the dragon throne, Khan Ama's cold gaze struck them, and they calmed down one by one: What are you begging for? Begging for mercy. The eighteenth brother was talking in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.
Even Khan Ama would have to be secretly angry and depressed, and then pretend to be a gentle and loving father.
He highly praised Xiao Shiba for not taking credit for himself and praised him as a model of a good younger brother.
When it came to the title of Prince, he never forgot to support his brothers.
After realizing this, the princes who were so nervous that sweat broke out on their foreheads instantly relaxed and became modest.
Da Qiansui was the oldest and he spoke first: "Khan Ama and Eighteenth Brother are both too kind. As princes, we are blessed by our ancestors and supported by the people. We are born with a responsibility for the Qing Dynasty and we should sacrifice our lives to make it grow and prosper."
"Those criminals dared to attack my son three times within a month. Doesn't that mean that my son has been sent to their lifeline this time? That's why they risked their family and property being confiscated to put my son to death. So, my son can't relax any more."
The sweat is gone and the blood is dry.
We must also discipline the Eight Banners Army and prevent the sword that once helped build the nation from becoming one of the biggest burdens that drags down the empire.
Morning light.
The eldest prince, who was praised by the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty as the most handsome among all the princes, had a determined look in his eyes, like a mountain standing still in a snowstorm.
Kangxi's old eyes were slightly moistened by the sight.
Once upon a time, he also had hopes, looking forward to his sons growing up one by one. Some were brave and good at fighting, while others were knowledgeable and talented. Everyone could become his arm, and father and son worked together to build the Qing Dynasty.
As a result, the children grew up and became as outstanding as we had hoped.
As a father, he became more and more worried, guarding against this and checking that.
He used the same methods he used to manage court officials on his own son.
If it weren't for the arrival of Little Eighteen, the supporting star, who revealed the truth in advance, now, such an outstanding eldest son has been deprived of all hope, imprisoned in the four corners of the high wall of the eldest prince's mansion, and will die in a daze, right?
The more outstanding princes were enthroned and deposed twice, and the third, eighth and ninth princes were all imprisoned until their deaths.
Although the Tenth and Fourteenth were released later, they did nothing else for the rest of their lives. Like an eagle with broken wings, they only served as two flags for the new king to show the world his kindness and generosity.
Just thinking about it makes the old father feel sad and regretful.
Kangxi, who was always very stingy in conferring titles, was rarely generous: "Okay, okay, you brothers are all great."
"I have rewarded court officials generously and generously for their meritorious services, not to mention that my sons have made their own contributions."
"Reward, reward, reward, all reward, all reward. When we return from this tour outside the Great Wall, have the Ministry of Rites draw up a specific set of rules to confer titles on the underage princes who have made contributions."
After saying this, he smiled at Yinzhen and said, "In this case, Xiao Shiba won't refuse anymore, right?"
[Hiss~ You said that as if you had made a plate of dumplings just for me. How will the second prince think of me? How will the brothers present think of me?]
[Would you all stop fighting overtly and covertly and join forces to nip this little threat of mine with thick eyebrows and big eyes in the bud?]
Yinxuan swallowed hard, feeling a little uneasy.
After all, those who know know.
Kangxi conferred titles on his princes for the second time, which was accompanied by the restoration of the crown prince.
No one knows whether the prince went crazy because he knew that he was a shield, or because he knew that Kangxi could not do anything to him. Anyway, he became more and more unscrupulous, looking down on every favored brother equally.
Although everything is very different from what is recorded in history books now, but...
After conferring titles on so many princes, the second brother of the crown prince must be under a lot of pressure, right? It must be very hard, right?
Yinxuan was worried and couldn't help but steal a glance at his second brother's face.
Prince:......
It's nothing else, I'm just trying to hold back my laughter until I'm about to get twisted.
I sympathize with my Khan Ama every day.
While I was talking, I was rejected three times over and over again!
Other people are always blamed for everything, but he is so good. He usually doesn't speak, because if he does, it will be over-interpreted.
But I didn't dare to get angry and couldn't refute.
That feeling...
I'm afraid that even when Khan's father ascended the throne at a young age, Oboi was usurping power, and the Three Feudatories were eyeing him covetously, he never felt so aggrieved.
I can only imagine how the Qing Dynasty would have gone from bad to worse if Xiao Fuxing had not come. How would it have been bullied by the foreign devils and invaded by a tiny country? It would have started a century of humiliation and almost led to the extinction of the nation.
Only then can you comfort yourself that it is worth it, and as long as there is a change, everything will be worth it.
Just when I was feeling mixed emotions, I caught the probing look from my Eighteenth Brother.
Considering what he just said, what else could the prince not understand?
But the defense will not be broken.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could only smile calmly, his eyebrows and eyes echoed seriously: "Yes, yes, what Khan Ama said is absolutely right. Although Eighteenth Brother is young, his direct and indirect contributions are great and numerous. It can be said that he has made great contributions."
"If he were not so young and so modest, it would not be too much to confer him the title of Heshuo Prince."
