Reading a female novel, Kang Xi walked out of the bedroom without looking at Li Dequan again. He walked out of the back hall with the palace maids and servants until he left the door of Jingren's palace. Then, he tilted his head slightly and looked at the road ahead."What exactly happened? Why does it sound like Longkeduo caused this trouble?”
These days, Kang Xi had been busy with the training of the Eight Banners and the preparations for various disasters. He had not paid much attention to the secret reports sent by the spies. However, Li Dequan, who was helping Kang Xi deal with miscellaneous matters, had to read these things every day in case Kang Xi asked at any time. He replied,"Reporting to the emperor, this matter was Long Ke Duo and Prince Su's son doing something indecent. Coincidentally, it was seen by Lord Tong Guo Gang who went to investigate. He brought the two back to the capital and went to Prince Su's residence. Later, he sent people to find Lord Tong Guo Wei. Prince Yu came because he happened to go to Prince Su's residence to inquire about the military training in the camp.”
Kang Xi frowned when he heard this. He had heard about the dirty things between men, but he was still a young emperor. He did not have the opportunity and qualifications to be ridiculous. He really could not understand and was disgusted by those things. The harmony between heaven and earth and yin and yang had been a sacred saying since ancient times. However, when he thought of this, it reminded Kang Xi that Yinreng was also 12 years old. He should send a few servants to Yuqing Palace. Although it was good that Xianying was in charge of the palace, However, Kang Xi, who had a dead knot in his heart, did not dare to leave this matter to her.
Putting this matter aside, Kang Xi turned to Li Dequan and instructed,""Lead them to the south study first. Zhen will go there to see them.”After saying this, Kang Xi had no intention of speaking again. Li Dequan saw that he had no further instructions to give, so he quickly retreated to the back of the carriage and told the two young eunuchs who were waiting on him. After conveying Kang Xi's intention, he quickly returned to the side of the carriage to serve.
Everyone who was led into the South Study by the two eunuchs, except for Longkeduo, who was kneeling on the ground, perhaps because he had been taught a lesson, waited quietly on both sides. This time, Kang Xi did not make everyone wait too long. As soon as everyone stood still, an eunuch sang outside,"The Emperor has arrived."
Everyone in the study quickly bowed their heads and looked at their clothes before kowtowing and welcoming them."Greetings, Emperor." The moment he knelt down, Tong Guowei saw the limp Longkeduo beside him. A trace of reluctance flashed across his eyes. However, when he thought of the secret reports that Xianying had sent to the Tong family, he hardened his heart and did not look at them anymore.
Kang Xi lightly stepped onto the table, turned around, and sat firmly on the precious chair inlaid with gold and carved dragons. His Highness and the others did not dare to move because of his imposing manner. It was only when Kang Xi had sized up the six people that he raised his hand and said,"Get up. What happened?"
When the six of them heard Kang Xi's question, how could they not know how much he knew about this matter? Tong Guogang was about to step forward to report, but Tong Guowei, who was at the side, was the first to pick up Longkeduo, who was still limp on the ground, and kowtow to apologize."Reporting to the emperor, this matter is all the fault of the unfilial son. I request the emperor to give him the death penalty.”
Kang Xi had thought that this matter would be another round of twists and turns, but he did not expect Tong Guowei to blame it all on Long Keduo. He looked at Long Keduo, who could only move his eyes and look at his own Ma begging. Kang Xi could not bear to see him. After all, Kang Xi had seen many people in the Tong family when he was young. However, he could not let him off easily when he saw Prince Su and his only son glaring at him.
If it wasn't for Old Prince Su who opposed Tong Guogang's military training, the people from both sides wouldn't have brought this matter to Kangxi in the palace at night. Now that the Tong family had given in, it was up to Prince Su to let this matter go. However, seeing the anger on Old Prince Su's face that hadn't faded, Kangxi shook his head in his heart and looked at Prince Su's son, Yun Zhu. Seeing the confusion in his eyes, he said,"Yun, now that Tong Aiqing is helping Longkeduo to admit his guilt, I wonder if you have something else to say.”
Yun Zhu's mind was very muddled now. He remembered that Long Keduo was drinking in the camp last night because of his beloved concubine. Because the two accounts were close to each other, Yun was invited by Long Keduo to the dormitory. Originally, they did not have much friendship. Yun Zhu would agree to Long Keduo's invitation to drink. He only thought of getting information from Long Keduo after he was drunk. However, he did not know when Yun Zhu, who was drunk, fell asleep. When Tong Guogang entered Long Keduo's dormitory, he did not wake up. When he opened his eyes, he was already on the way back to the capital. No matter how he asked the people around him what had happened, However, he only received a pitiful look from that person.
Because Prince Su only had one son, everyone in Prince Su's residence cared for him very much. He also had the stubbornness of some of the only sons. He did not look at Prince Su's fierce eyes and walked into the hall to bow and report,"Emperor, I really don't know what happened. I hope that the emperor can allow Uncle Tong to tell me the details.”
Upon hearing Yun's words, Tong Guogang, who had seen the two of them hugging each other with his own eyes and had scarlet marks all over his body, blushed and said,"The prince calling this lowly subject uncle is too high of a national standard. You are hugging that unfilial son of this lowly subject, nephew. Although this lowly subject's younger brother has stopped the crime by mentioning nephew, this lowly subject asks the prince not to pretend to be innocent here.”
When Yun heard Tong Guogang's words, she opened her mouth wide in shock as she looked at Long Keduo, who was lying limply on the ground and staring at her with red eyes. Her mind, which had just regained some clarity, became a mess again."This, how is this possible? We were just drinking together, and we were drinking halfway.”He couldn't say the rest of the words. Could it be that he had to say that it was Loncodo who got drunk first? He only managed to hold on until he helped him to the bed. He felt dizzy and fell asleep on the bed.
When Prince Su heard Yun say this, he quickly went forward and pulled the already confused Di son behind him. He asked Tong Guogang,"What do you mean by this? Who in the capital doesn't know that even if Yun Yun isn't talented and full of knowledge, he's still not far from her. Your second son, Long Keduo, not only stole his father-in-law's concubine and indulged in debauchery in broad daylight, he also made his wife and son pay their respects to a lowly concubine without a surname every day in his own residence. This is truly the biggest joke in the capital.”
Tong Guogang wanted to pick on Yun's previous words and stir up trouble again, but Tong Guowei pulled his sleeve with a slightly stronger hand and slowly stood up to stop him. The Tong family's face was completely destroyed because of that unfilial son. The trace of father-son relationship that Tong Guowei had with Longkeduo also disappeared when he heard Prince Su's unconcealed words. It was difficult for the three generations of the Tong family to manage to this point. The father of the Tong family, Tu Lai, fought in his later years because of the illness that had been branded for many years. He died of illness not long after he did not ask for retirement.
Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei were also grateful for the care of Empress Xiao Kangzhang, who was in the palace at that time. It took so many years for the Tong family to become what it was today. Their words also carried some weight among the Manchu and Han officials, but now all of this was ruined by Long Keduo. No matter who was at fault today, Tong Guowei would not let Long Keduo do whatever he wanted. Even if he broke his legs and locked him up in the Tong family, he would not let him have the chance to embarrass the Tong family again.
Prince Su couldn't bear to see Tong Guowei like this. However, Prince Su only had one son, so he couldn't make too much of a mistake in front of Kang Xi. It was also thanks to his Fujin who had heard about this matter a few days ago. He had thought it was just a rumor because there was no discussion outside. Now that he saw Tong Guowei like this, even if it wasn't completely true, it wouldn't be too different. Otherwise, Tong Guowei would have to distinguish the truth from the truth even in front of the Emperor.
Tong Guowei was originally full of energy because of the " clean water " that Xianying and she had sent out to the palace. But now, he felt deeply powerless. He also knew why Xianying wanted to investigate the Tong family's descendants so carefully. She didn't want them to spend so much effort to raise the Tong family up, only to be overthrown by their descendants.
Tong Guowei no longer thought about what he had to do when he got back. He stood up and bowed to Kang Xi."Emperor, this servant knows best what kind of character this unfilial son has. As for the concubine that Prince Su spoke of, she had disregarded her status and insisted on entering the palace. When she saw the Imperial Noble Consort, she was disrespectful to the Imperial Noble Consort because of Long Ke's love. After being slapped, she was carried back to the Tong family and died. Eunuch Liu, who sent them back, told this servant the whole story. Only then did this servant know that he had actually done such a dirty thing. This guilty minister no longer had the face to say that because the family had many children, the eighth son had been thrown out of the residence by this servant to live alone. Please punish the guilty minister and the unfilial son heavily.”
After Kang Xi heard what Tong Guowei said, he did not have the slightest fondness for Longke Duo. He originally wanted to give him a first-class guard when he returned from Tongzhou's camp, but now he did not have the slightest intention. An affair had caused Longke Duo to be so guilty. Even Tong Guowei was implicated because of his father and did not even know everything about the family. Kang Xi was relieved about Tong Guowei and the Tong family. Because of the state affairs, he neglected the guidance of his children. So what if he had eight sons? The Tong family would not prosper for too long because Kang Xi placed Tong Guowei and Tong Guogang in an important position.
As long as the Tong family had a few unfilial descendants, they could use that person after Yinreng ascended the throne. No matter how prosperous the Tong family was, they could uproot them. Thinking of this, he could not punish Long Keduo too heavily. Long Keduo still had to be left to cause trouble for the Tong family. Kang Xi turned to look at Prince Su. There was no longer much anger on his face. He stood to the side obediently and nodded in satisfaction."My beloved minister has done a lot for the Qing Dynasty over the years. There is no need to blame yourself for Longkeduo. I don't see any harm in this matter. Moreover, the spoiling concubine and killing his wife is also my beloved minister's family matter.”
When everyone heard Kang Xi say this, they were just about to bow down and take their leave when they heard Kang Xi say,"This military training will be going on for a few days. I will go and see how Minister Tong's suggestion is going. If it is feasible, it can be implemented in the entire flag.”
It was like a farce. Kang Xi felt that things couldn't be so coincidental. He left Prince Yu behind only to ask if the Tong family had any contact with Prince Su. However, if tonight's matter had anything to do with Xianying, Kang Xi would push the matter to her. The two of them would still have a fight.
Seeing that everyone had left, Kang Xi said to Prince Yu,"Imperial brother, how did this matter implicate you into the palace?”
Prince Yu Fuquan, who was watching the commotion from the side, could not help but laugh in his heart. He still had a simple and honest appearance on his face as he bowed respectfully to Kang Xi and replied,"Your Majesty, you must not call me that again. Although they came to the palace today, it was because I found something by chance and knew that there was something interesting to see in the Prince Su's residence. I originally wanted to invite Chang Ning, who liked to watch the show, but I knew that he was held back by something and was not in the capital, so I went alone.”
What could have made Prince Yu, who did not like to join in the fun, interested in visiting someone else's house? Kang Xi: "Oh?" She looked at Fu Quan and waited for him to continue.
The author had something to say, was it just Xianying's doing to get out of trouble? It happened last night and was discovered this morning. Could Xianying have foreseen that Kangxi was going to visit her? He did not know, he did not know…
