"Alright, in that case, there happens to be a peach garden in the backyard of this little brother's residence. The peach blossoms are in full bloom right now. Why don't the three of us follow the example of Liu Guan Zhang at the end of the Han Dynasty and become brothers in the peach garden?”Hong Tian Xiao was overjoyed. In the future, with the protection of these two people, it would be much easier to overthrow the Qing Dynasty.
"That's good." Prince Kang and Soertu had no objections.
The three of them came to the peach garden and burned incense to pray. Soertu was the first to say,""Disciple Suo Ertu, today, I have become sworn brothers with Aisin Gioro Jieshu and Liu Feiying. From now on, we will share our blessings and difficulties together. I don't want to be born on the same day of the same year, month, and month. I hope that I will die on the same day of the same year, month, and month.”
Jieshu followed up," Disciple Aisin Gioro Jieshu. Today, I have become sworn brothers with my two brothers, Soertu and Liu Feiying. From now on, we will share our blessings and difficulties together." I don't want to be born on the same day of the same year, month, and month. I hope that I will die on the same day of the same year, month, and month.”
The third one was Hong Tian Xiao. He said,"Disciple Liu Feiying, today I have become sworn brothers with my two brothers Soertu and Aisin Gioro Jieshu. From now on, we will share our blessings and difficulties together. I don't want to be born on the same day, the same month, and the same day, but I hope to die on the same day, the same month, and the same day. If Liu Feiying doesn't care about his loyalty, he will be destroyed by the heavens and never rise up again.”
Hong Tianxiao's words seemed to be the same as Suo Ertu and Jie Shu's, but he was actually putting all the possible retribution on Liu Feiying, who was long gone. In fact, he had learned this from Wei Xiaobao and Suo Ertu in the original book. He was playing a trick, but Suo Ertu and Jie Shu didn't hear it.
When Hong Tian Xiao finished speaking, the three of them bowed eight times and stood up together. Then Prince Kang and Hong Tian Xiao bowed to Suo Ertu again, acknowledging him as their big brother. Suo Ertu accepted the bow calmly, and when the two of them stood up again, the three of them laughed loudly. "Brothers, we're sworn brothers," laughed Soetu."That's ten times closer than real brothers. From now on, we brothers must share blessings and hardships together, and together we will overthrow that Ao Bai. When that time comes, no one in the Imperial Court will dare to challenge us brothers.”
"Big brother is right. However, you must not mention the matter of becoming sworn brothers today to others. In front of others, you must still call yourself an official. Otherwise, once this matter is leaked, just the Imperial Clan Court alone is enough to make this little brother suffer.”Jieshu was, after all, from the Aisin Gioro family. The family law clearly stated that he could not be sworn brothers with other surnames. Otherwise, he would be punished according to the family law.
"Second brother can be at ease. Big brother knows about this matter. In the future, when there are only the three of us, we will call each other brothers.”The first half of Soertu's sentence was directed at Jieshu, while the second half was directed at Hong Tian Xiao. After all, Hong Tian Xiao didn't know about Aisin Gioro's clan law.
Just as Hong Tian Xiao was about to order a feast to be served with Soertu and Prince Kang, a eunuch in the palace suddenly issued an edict for him to enter the palace immediately.
Hong Tian Xiao didn't know what was going on, so he could only let Suo Ertu and Prince Kang drink first while he followed the eunuch to see Kang Xi. After arriving at the study, the eunuch closed the door and left. Hong Tian Xiao saw Kang Xi's back to him and seemed to have been silent for a long time. He did not dare to speak first and stood quietly at the side after paying his respects.
"Steward Liu, when I ordered you to assassinate Ao Bai that day, I was truly careless.”After a long time, Kang Xi sighed and told him about the things that had made him uneasy for the past few days.
"Emperor, this is this servant's fault. This servant also felt that something was wrong after the incident. That day, I fought with Ao Bai for more than a hundred rounds, but no one won. Ao Bai would naturally become vigilant and investigate the palace guards one by one, and I would inevitably be exposed in front of him.”Hong Tian Xiao had deliberately given Kang Xi such an idea that day, so he naturally knew the drawbacks.
"That's right. You're the power I rely on the most at the moment, so I naturally can't expose you to Oboi too early. So, I thought about it and came up with a solution. You haven't been in the palace for long, and the people you've come into contact with are even fewer. As long as you can find someone to take your name and become the Deputy Chief of the Imperial Guards, you'll be able to hide it from the eyes of the traitor Oboi.”Kang Xi smiled slightly and softly said a plan.
"This…Although this servant hasn't been in the palace for long, I've had contact with a few guards in the palace. There are at least fifty or thirty people who know this servant. I'm afraid it won't be easy to hide it from Oboi.”Hong Tian Xiao's heart tightened. Kang Xi's intention was to hide Hong Tian Xiao. However, this way, Hong Tian Xiao would no longer be able to interfere in the matters of the palace. This was naturally something that Hong Tian Xiao did not want to see.
"You don't have to worry about this. Dead people don't leak information. I've already arranged for Suo 'etu to do this. You only need to practice Kung Fu in the mansion every day for the time being, so that I can capture the traitor Oboi in one fell swoop.”Kang Xi had already started his preparations.
"Ah…this…ah, this servant will do as you say.”Hong Tian Xiao opened his mouth and finally swallowed the words in his stomach.
At this moment, someone suddenly said loudly from outside,""Reporting to the emperor, Young Guardian Ao is waiting outside for an edict saying that he has an urgent matter to kowtow to the emperor.”Kang Xi was nervous. Oboi must be here for Suksaha. He didn't want to see him, but he was worried that people would say he was afraid of Oboi. So he said to Hong Tian Xiao,"Quickly hide behind and hold your breath.”
"Yes, this servant will do as you say." Hong Tian Xiao hurried to the back, but he was secretly happy. Oboi must have come for the exchange of lands between the Bordered Yellow Flag and the White Flag. Oboi had always had a grudge against Sukesaha. Today, he wanted to kill Sukesaha in the morning court because of a personal grudge. Seeing that Kang Xi had not allowed it, he came to the royal study to force him.
Hong Tian Xiao had just hidden behind when he heard heavy footsteps outside the door. A person walked into the study and said,""Your servant Ao Bai greets the Emperor!" As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed. Hong Tian Xiao recognized the voice as Oboi's, so he used his dagger to cut a small square in the cloth. He peered over and saw Oboi prostrating on the ground, kowtowing.
Kang Xi looked at Ao Bai, his eyebrows furrowing in disgust, but it was only for a moment before he recovered and waved his hand."Forget it. I wonder if Ao Shaobao has something important to do here?”Oboi stood up and said,"Your Majesty, Suksaha has a rebellious heart. His memorial is treasonous and he must be executed."”Kang Xi knew this was the case, so he replied with an " En " and didn't comment.
Seeing this, Oboi said,"The Emperor has just taken over the government, and Suksaha has already sent a memorial saying,'I am personally in charge of the government, and I pray to the wise and wise, so that I can guard the tomb of the late Emperor and live like a thread.''Wasn't that clearly looking down on the Emperor? If the emperor didn't take charge of the government, he would die. This meant that the emperor was very cruel to the servants.”Kang Xi replied with an "mm".
