If the Cao family is just worried, then Guanglu himself is heartbroken.

Looking at the magnificent palace gate, he only felt that his back was already soaked.

After returning to the palace from the Cao family, before he entered the gate of the palace, a royal guard passed the emperor's edict and summoned him to the palace to see His Majesty.

As a descendant of the ancestor line, Guanglu is also a close branch of the clan, but his father died early, and he has not reached the age of knighthood, even if His Majesty has seen a few times, it is just a red and white happy event in the palace, and everyone is mixed to arrange shifts.

In the clan, there are different opinions about the current emperor, and there are naturally all kinds of praise on the surface, but in private, there are many words to mention "Bo surnamed Widow".

The Holy Grandfather inherited the throne, and the two brothers were named princes, and the descendants of Prince Taizu and Prince Lilie Daishan were always lenient, and the royal family and the clan were happy.

After ascending the throne today, he also promoted a few brothers, but with the stability of the throne, the circle of circles, and the death of death, it is embarrassing to say.

How could Guanglu not be afraid?

He hesitated in his heart, thinking about the emperor's intention to upload his majesty's opinion.

It's nothing more than two, one is to attack oneself at the same time, and the other is to grace himself...... Thinking of this, Guanglu's heart only jumped "bang".

In addition to the inheritance of the title of the clan, in addition to the inheritance of father and son, there are two situations, the former is that no heir dies, but the heir is selected from the nephew to inherit, and if there is no nephew, it is mostly inherited by the order of the same mother's brother, half-brother, and cousin of the same ancestor.

If he is deprived of his title for sin, he will be appointed by the emperor from among his brothers.

Prince Yuxian's branch has only two bloodlines to inherit.

Baotai was robbed of the title again, and although there were many children and grandchildren in that room, he was not qualified to inherit the title; Although Guangling has a son, if he asks for the guilt, most of them will be like Baotai, except for the title.

Guanglu only felt that his heart went up and down, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

He was still cowardly and frightened in his heart, and this was also due to the fact that he lived in his uncle's house as a child, so that he used to use this appearance to protect himself.

After a while, he had already followed the messenger guard to the front of the Heart Cultivation Palace, the guard went in to give a farewell, and Guanglu stood outside the Heart Cultivation Palace.

And in a moment he saw the guard come out, and summoned him to come in and come to him.

Guanglu's body shook, and he lowered his head and entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, and was introduced into the Dongnuan Pavilion by the inner servant.

He didn't dare to look up, he only felt that there seemed to be a person sitting on the kang in the warm pavilion, and a few people were standing on the ground, and when he saw the boots, he really knelt down and said, "Slave...... The slave Guanglu has seen the emperor, and respectfully asks the emperor to live a long life, and ......he has already kowtowed to the ground.

He was visibly horrified, not only speaking in a choppy and disorganized manner, but also trembling in his body.

Sitting on the kang is Yongzheng.

On both sides of the ground are the thirteenth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother, and the seventeenth elder brother.

summoned Guanglu to see His Majesty, but Yongzheng made a temporary decision.

For this cousin, he has some impressions, or because of the evil relationship between the Guangling and Guanglu brothers.

This Guanglu, no matter how you look at it, is a cowardly and honest person, but he is sincere to his brother.

Partial life Guangling is shallow, and he listened to the provocation from the outside, and regarded this younger brother as if he was an enemy. Guanglu just blindly tolerated it, and said good things about him in private.

Now seeing that Guanglu is so unscrupulous, Yongzheng couldn't help frowning, snorted coldly, and said, "What are you trembling, can I still eat people?" Or in your heart, I am the one with the 'widow' surname? ”

This is a heart-wrenching word, no matter how young Guanglu is, he knows that this is absolutely unrecognizable, so he hurriedly raised his head and said, "The slave doesn't dare!" Minions don't dare to ......"

His face grew paler with fear, and his frightened eyes made him look more and more unbearable.

Seeing this, the thirteenth elder brother's eyes flashed.

Others are not familiar with Guanglu, so they naturally will not doubt it; He had seen Guanglu several times, and after Guanglu was harassed by Guangling, he also beat Guangling with words.

Although Guanglu is a little cowardly and honest, he will not be so unable and unclear.

Yongzheng's brows were still furrowed, looking at Guanglu's gaze, but he was a little more impatient: "I called you here today to inquire about Guangling's friends, and you still didn't recruit you from the truth?" ”

When Guanglu heard this, he was stunned.

Half a day after the accident, he was also thinking about why his brother angered the emperor and was detained for questioning, but he didn't expect this to be a rule.

This was the crime of my uncle when he was taken away from his title two years ago.

Two years ago, his uncle was deprived of his title because he "falsely accused the fourteenth elder brother of ill intentions" and behaved as a "friend".

Now, my brother is also "forming a party"?

Guanglu only felt that his mind was in a mess, and the pictures of his brother and sister-in-law's arrogance in the past two years flashed one scene after another.

Even if he knew something, what could he do? Can you still testify?

fratricide, in the eyes of others, no one will sympathize with him, only think he is vicious.

Yongzheng saw that he was at a loss, not as if he was faking, and said very dissatisfied: "You are twenty, not an ignorant child, don't tell me, you don't know anything about what Guangling has done." ”

Guanglu made a bitter face and said, "The slave doesn't dare to quibble, I really don't know about it...... I didn't dare to deceive the emperor, because the slave was ignorant, and there were many deficiencies in the literary and martial arts classes, which attracted the second brother of the slave to reprimand, and never let the slave come forward to communicate......"

This sentence is not false at all, but there is no lack of Guangling's meaning of borrowing the topic.

Otherwise, as the younger brother of the prince, Guanglu is twenty years old, where do you still need to study in the palace, most of them are seeking errands.

Yongzheng not only dealt with Guangling, but also knew what he did.

He is disgusted with Guang Ling, in addition to Guang Ling, who doesn't know what to do and is close to Baotai, there is also his mean siblings.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, Yongzheng, the emperor, is not the master who treats his siblings well.

But he himself didn't see it that way, but felt that he was affectionate and righteous.

The thirteenth elder brother who has always supported him has become the prime minister, the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother were originally concubines, and now they are all princes and county kings, and several younger brothers have gradually grown up, and he and the queen have also heard a lot about their lives and daily life, and they are not unkind.

As for the ninth elder brother who died of illness, the fourteenth elder brother who was detained in Jingshan, although Yongzheng was disgusted, he didn't do anything to kill their surname.

There are also the third elder brothers, tenth elder brothers, and fifteenth elder brothers who "don't come out of the door", although there are always places where they are not always wrong, Yongzheng is also lenient and benevolent, and does not care about them.

Seeing Guanglu so cowardly and confused, Yongzheng's mood gradually calmed down, and said: "Since you don't have a system of literary and martial arts classes, then you will go to the study to study in the Ming Dynasty." ”

The emperor said that Guanglu is kowtowing to the will.

When he knelt down, Yongzheng found that he was stepping on new boots on his feet, and the boots were covered in mud.

He looked very serious, thinking about the reply when the guards came to pay the edict, and asked the sixteenth elder brother: "Listening to Shoucheng's meaning, Fang Guanglu begged the guards outside the palace, went out of the palace alone, and went to the Cao family, in order to tell the Cao family that the ceremony could not be completed. When something happened to the palace, he still took care of himself, is his surname a little colder? ”

The sixteenth elder brother is now in charge of the sect's mansion and deals with the affairs of the clan, but he can't go beyond him.

The sixteenth elder brother thought for a while and said: "It may not be because of the coldness, the younger brother looks at Guanglu's appearance, he is a timid person, and he went to the Cao Mansion in person, mostly because he was afraid of offending the Yue family." ”

Yongzheng nodded, knowing that what the sixteenth elder brother said was the truth.

The children of the clan, except for those who inherit the lord, rely on the remnants of their fathers and ancestors, and the other partial branches and concubines have to live according to the eyes of the grandchildren. In addition to being the most expensive, some are not as good as the children of powerful families, and they can share a lot of money.

Although Guanglu is the younger brother of the prince, he can be feared by his brother, and in the future, he may not be able to rely on his brother's side, most of them will rely on his wife's family, and it is understandable to treat the Cao family politely...... * The news of Jingli has always spread rapidly.

By the time Cao Hao fell, he had already received the news that Prince Guangling, who had been in the palace for 23 months, had seized the title and was locked up because of "the wrong management of things, and the habit of not getting rid of the Baotai Peng Party", and his younger brother Guanglu attacked the title of Prince Yu.

Although he thought of this before, when it came to the moment, Cao Hao still couldn't help but gasp.

Not for Guanglu, for the fourth sister.

If there is no change in the marriage, the Cao family will come out with a second prince, Fujin.

But before the decision is made, the identity of the fourth sister can match the prince's brother, but it can't match the prince.

Cao Hao couldn't help frowning, if the nobles in the palace really had a whim, and his wife became a side room, wouldn't the Cao family become a joke? The fourth sister's situation in the future is also embarrassing?

The emperor won't be like this, right?

For the moody Yongzheng, it really can't be inferred by common sense.

Cao Hao was shocked in his heart, but now was not the time to inquire about this, so he could only wait.

Because it is soon the Halloween Day, no matter what the princes and ministers think in their hearts, their faces are full of praise and praise, and they are a peaceful scene.

The next afternoon, when Cao Hao came out of the yamen, the sixteenth elder brother was already waiting outside.

Seeing that he was wearing a rather solemn auspicious clothes, Cao Hao was a little surprised, and hesitated: "Sixteenth master, this is to enter the palace?" ”

The sixteenth elder brother shook his head and said, "The master is waiting for you all the time, I can't get away from the palace in Ming'er, so I will go with you today and pay my birthday to Mrs. Tai." ”

Cao Hao was asking questions, and he was happy to have the opportunity to meet the sixteenth elder brother, and said: "I don't dare to worship my birthday, but I can't ask for it when I come to the cold house." ”

The two have known each other for many years, and they have a tacit understanding, looking at each other and smiling, the sixteenth elder brother invited Cao Hao to get into the carriage.

"Guangling was taken away, but for Jingshan?" When the carriage started, Cao Hao asked in a low voice.

The sixteenth elder brother shook his head with a smile and said, "It's just a matter of having a seizure through the son, if the emperor is really jealous of that one, how can he be allowed to be well?" ”

"Huh?" Cao Hao heard this, he was very surprised, if the matter of the "friend party" was not true, then Yong happened to have a close branch of the prince to do it?

The corner of the sixteenth elder brother's mouth was picked, and he said: "It's not because Guangling is not interested, the emperor is disgusted with Baotai, he also went to win over Baotai and wiped the emperor's face, isn't he a fool?" ”

Speaking of which, not only Guangling's knighthood is inexplicable, but even Baotai's title is also.

Baotai was knighted in November of the second year of Kangxi, and Cao Hao had already gone to Qingyuan at that time, and he didn't know the details.

Hearing the sixteenth elder brother mention Baotai, Cao Hao couldn't help but be curious, asked one more question, and said: "Sixteenth master, why did the emperor attack Baotai, if Baotai really grabbed the sore feet of the fourteen beizi and brought it to the front of the emperor, then where did this 'friend' come from?" ”

The sixteenth elder brother's smile was unfathomable, and he said: "Baotai Jifujin is the sister-in-law of Limi Fujin, and the third Jifujin is also the sister of Fujin, and the relationship with the emperor is naturally not as close as that of Prince Limi." ”

Won't it be too late to liquidate the power of the abolished prince?

Cao Hao only felt a little unreasonable, the sixteenth elder brother had already lowered his voice, and whispered: "This is mostly speculation from the outside, even if Fu Ruo wants to break his brain, he will not think of the real reason." ”

Cao Hao saw that he was mysterious, and he also lowered his voice and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

The sixteenth elder brother whispered: "The emperor didn't say it explicitly, but the master remembers clearly that the emperor didn't wait to see Baotai after seeing the yellow book of the clan that year...... It's not like there's no end to it, and I think about it for a long time, and I just think of an unbelievable reason......"

The Yellow Book of the Clan, recorded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is the change in the population of the Yellow Belt, and it will be reported in the end.

When Cao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "What is the reason?" ”

"There are too many children and grandchildren, there are nineteen sons, although ten died young, there are still nine of them, and the five longest sons are all grown up to be honest, married and had children. If the descendants are divided, even if they will not become the second Prince of Lilie, they will become behemoths. ”

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they ruled the Han with Han and respected etiquette.

After several generations, even the Manchu people have paid attention to the system of heirs.

Although the royal family is orthodox, it is also very respectful to the long room in the clan.

Emperor Shizu Shunzhi and Prince Lilie Daishan are like this, and Emperor Shengzu is the same with Prince Yuxian Fuquan, they will not only act like this, but also explain to the heir emperor and continue to treat the clan chief well.

Prince Lilie has eight sons, three sons Prince Feng, two sons of the county king, one son Beizi, and one son is the prince of the country. Among the eight hereditary princes, this line accounts for three.

It has been passed down for generations, hundreds of princes and generals, how can they not make the royal family jealous?

With the experience of Prince Lilie's family, the emperor is jealous of Baotai, who has many sons and grandchildren, and it seems to be reasonable.

Cao Hao was stunned when he heard this, no wonder the sixteenth elder brother said that this reason was "unbelievable", it was indeed not something ordinary people could think of.

The children of the clan have the responsibility of reproducing children, but if the side branches are too prosperous, they will become a bane.

Seeing that Cao Hao didn't speak, the sixteenth elder brother said, "What, you don't believe it?" ”

Cao Hao shook his head and said, "No, I just think that if this is the case, it seems reasonable for Guangling to be taken away." The emperor wants to make Baotai's room silent, and Guangling, who is a cousin, always wants to mention his cousins and cousins, and it is normal for the emperor to be annoyed. ”

The sixteenth elder brother nodded and said, "But it is cheaper than Guanglu, among the sons and grandsons of Prince Yulie, except for the two rooms that won the lord, he is the only one left." Prince Yu's Mansion, there is no need for Zhuang Wangfu, it is the old prince who has no heir. Prince Yulie only has one son left, but his grandchildren and great-grandchildren have no reason to choose outsiders to inherit the palace. ”

"Since Guanglu has attacked the prince, the marriage will be handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I wonder if there is any news from the sixteenth elder brother? Cao Hao asked.

The sixteenth elder brother smiled and said, "You can rest assured, the emperor does not want Prince Yu's mansion to become powerful, and he will not draw a snake to add enough orders to Guanglu to refer to the wife of the high family, and the fourth girl, the Fujin, can't run......*
