"Fourth Brother! Fourth Brother!"

The Thirteenth Prince rushed into the Fourth Prince's mansion. When he pushed open the door of the study, he saw the Fourth Prince sitting cross-legged in front of the Buddhist shrine in the inner room like an old monk, holding a string of rosary in his hand, muttering words in his mouth, like wearing a cassock again, like a Buddhist master who became a monk.

"Fourth Brother!"

The Thirteenth Prince shouted softly, and saw that the Fourth Prince didn't pay attention to him, so he had no choice but to sit down and wait quietly. After a while, the Fourth Prince, who had finished his homework, finished his Buddhist studies and then slowly got up after worshiping.

"Fourth brother, the emperor just killed a few eunuchs." Seeing the fourth prince get up, the Thirteenth prince said hurriedly.

"What's the matter? Guangdong is lost, and the Emperor Ahma is in a bad mood. He must be the servant below who does not care about making trouble for him. What's the point of killing a few eunuchs?" The Fourth Prince glared at the Thirteenth Prince in displeasure, and then sat down on the chair beside him. Before he could sit firmly, the Thirteenth Prince's next words immediately shocked the Fourth Prince who was extremely calm on weekdays.

"What! Even Zhao Dequan is dead?"

"Yes, Fourth Brother!" The Thirteenth Prince said with a serious expression: "Zhao Dequan is the leader of the Ganqing Palace, who would have thought that he would be killed by the Emperor Ama."

"This matter will not be fake, right? Don't listen to the news." The Fourth Prince hesitated.

The Thirteenth Prince shook his head and said, "There will definitely be no fake. This person has been taken to the field. The servants below can see clearly that it is Zhao Dequan."

Of course, the fourth prince trusts him. If the only one among the princes is the Thirteenth prince who is closest to him, the only one who is closest to him is the Thirteenth prince. What's more, Zhao Dequan was killed by a war, so this matter could not be faked. It's not just him who can't be done well, but the news will soon spread inside and outside the palace. Zhao Dequan is not an ordinary eunuch. As the leader of the Ganqing Palace, he is of a rank.

In the Qing Dynasty, the eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics in the harem. Compared with the previous Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty were not very high, especially in the early Qing Dynasty. As for the late Qing Dynasty in history, it was during the late Qing Dynasty that the eunuchs began to have certain rights.

But even so, Zhao Dequan's identity is the best among eunuchs. Because he often serves Kangxi, let alone ordinary officials, even ordinary princes should be polite when they see him. It is incredible that Kangxi actually said that he would die by the enemy if he is killed by the enemy.

"What's the reason? What did Zhao Dequan do?" The fourth prince frowned and thought about it.

The Thirteenth Prince shook his head and said, "I don't know that the Emperor Ama suddenly killed Zhao Dequan tonight. In addition to him, there are several eunuchs who usually follow the Emperor Ama to serve. Now, everyone in the palace is in danger, and who dares to ask the reason. However, in my opinion, I'm afraid that Zhao Dequan should have done something that shouldn't have done, so he ended up like this."

The rosary in the fourth prince's hand was quickly turned, and his mind was thinking quickly. The Thirteenth prince was right. Although the eunuch was a slave of the royal family, killing a few eunuchs was nothing, but it was really strange that Zhao Dequan died like this. Moreover, Kangxi always thought he was kind and had always been generous to his subordinates. If Zhao Dequan had not done such a big thing, Kangxi would not have been like this at all with his personality.

Could it be...? The Fourth Prince suddenly remembered that after receiving the Guangdong war report today, Kangxi learned that Guangdong was lost, and he was in a coma after being angry and vomited blood. The killing of Zhao Dequan was just a few hours after Kangxi woke up. It was difficult for these two things to be related? But Zhao Dequan, a eunuch, could not leave the palace, or the second update, and stayed by Kangxi. The capital was thousands of miles away from Guangdong. How could Zhao Dequan have something to do with the matter in Guangdong?

After a long time of worship, the Fourth Prince could not judge what was going on, but one thing was certain, Kangxi would never kill the eunuch for no reason.

"Old Thirteenth, Guangdong is lost, and Emperor Ama is in poor health. Although Ma Qi was ordered to visit us today, as a son of man, Emperor Ama's health is not only a major event, but also a concern for the stability of the Qing Dynasty. I have the Diamond Sutra handwritten by myself. Tomorrow you and I will go to the palace with me to present it to Emperor Ama."

The Thirteenth Prince didn't react for a moment, but when he said Zhao Dequan's incident, he suddenly got to the Diamond Sutra, but when he saw the Fourth Prince's expression was solemn, he suddenly realized and nodded quickly, "The Fourth Brother is talking very much! I will go with the Fourth Brother to meet the Emperor Ama tomorrow morning. Even if the Emperor Ama does not see me, as a son, he needs to express his distraction."

The fourth prince nodded slightly, smiled and said, "Since that's the case, the Thirteenth brother will go back and prepare early. Let's meet you and I at the palace gate tomorrow morning."

The Thirteenth Prince immediately said yes, got up and left in a hurry.

When the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Prince were planning to be filial sons the next day and present the Diamond Sutra to Kangxi to show their filial piety, at the Eighth Prince's mansion, the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince, the Tenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince also got together, and each looked extremely solemn.

Not only did the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Prince know about Zhao Dequan's death, but they also got the news. When the news came, the shock in their hearts was no less than that of the Fourth Prince and Thirteenth Prince, especially the Eighth Prince, who felt even more like a rushing river and sea at this moment.

Guangdong was lost, Kangxi was in a coma after vomiting blood. After learning the news, the eighth prince and his other princes ran to the palace to ask for a visit, but were stopped by Ma Qi. At that time, some of the other princes were really anxious, and some pretended to be filial, but the eighth prince was different from others. Although he was extremely anxious at that time, he also had a hint of expectation in his heart.

Compared to Kangxi, the Eighth Prince had actually known the situation in Guangdong for a long time. Because the reason is very simple, the person who informed Zhao Hongcan was sent by the Eighth Prince. Although Zhao Hongcan was not a subordinate of the Eighth Prince, he had a good relationship with the Eighth Prince. The reason why he sent someone to secretly inform Zhao Hongcan was that the Eighth Prince had his own thoughts and wanted to use Guangdong to do an article.

If the Ming army could not take Guangzhou so quickly in the Battle of Guangdong. If the Qing army could not defend the Qing army to the death, no one would know what the war was. But because the Eighth Prince reported to Zhao Hongcan privately, Guangdong would be in a big way. With the Eighth Prince's understanding of Zhao Hongcan, Zhao Hongcan would never wait to die, and the facts proved this.

Due to the change of Zhao Hongcan, the battle in Guangdong was equivalent to breaking away from Kangxi's control. In addition, Zhao Hongcan now went to Guangxi to monopolize military and political power, and had actually formed separatist positions. This was simply intolerable and even more unacceptable to Kangxi, who had a high opinion of himself.

Selling Zhao Hongcan with a favor and secretly setting up a piece of chess piece, maybe you will get a generous reward from Zhao Hongcan that day. The Eighth Prince knows that Zhao Hongcan is a smart person, and the facts now prove that his vision is not bad. In addition, using this incident to inspire Kangxi and look at Kangxi's reaction is also another purpose of the Eighth Prince.

Even when he learned that Kangxi was in a coma when he vomited blood, the Eighth Prince was secretly happy. If Kangxi returned to heaven, this would be the best thing for the Eighth Prince. Kangxi returned to heaven. Without a prince, he was naturally the best choice for the Elders to sit on the throne. But who would have thought that Kangxi woke up soon after he was in a coma, which disappointed the Eighth Prince a little, but the news that Zhao Dequan was killed in a war came just a few hours later, which scared the Eighth Prince very much.

"Brother Tsang! Brother Tsang!" Seeing that the Eighth Prince didn't say anything for a long time, the Tenth Prince couldn't help calling out.

"Oh...what's the matter?" The eighth prince, who came to his senses, forced a smile.

"Brother, what are you thinking? You're so enchanting." The tenth prince asked in confusion.

"It's not that Zhao Dequan was beaten and killed. I'm thinking about what Zhao Dequan did to make Emperor Ahma so angry."

The princes looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, because they couldn't figure out this problem.

"Who can know this? But in my opinion, Zhao Dequan must have done something big, otherwise he would not have done this with the temper of the emperor." said the Ninth Prince.

Everyone nodded, because no other news came out of the palace, and they didn't know what was going on. It seemed that they would only ask for a few more tomorrow.

"Brother, today's Emperor Amalong is in poor health, and I don't know what's going on now." The Thirteenth Prince said suddenly.

"It should be nothing serious." The Tenth Prince said carelessly: "The Emperor has always been in good health, not to mention that he killed Zhao Dequan, a slave just now. In my opinion, it was just because of the incident in Guangdong that was so angry that he was just angry."

The Eighth Prince thought for a while and said, "No matter what, we should go to the palace again tomorrow. We didn't see the Emperor today. After I came back, I was always in a state of great trouble."

"What the Bald Brother said is that as the son of man, the best filial piety, brothers, we will go together to meet the emperor tomorrow morning." The Ninth Prince agreed.

The Tenth Prince immediately gave the eighth Prince a thumbs up: "It's still Zhou Dao that the starling brother thinks, Thirteenth brother, we will enter the palace with the starling brother Ninth Brother tomorrow. What if we meet the emperor?"

"Of course this is good, I have no objection." The Thirteenth Prince agreed without thinking.

Then, everyone continued to talk about other topics, but while talking, the Eighth Prince kept thinking about Kangxi's thoughts. Could it be that Kangxi smelled something when Zhao Dequan's death? Or that he noticed something from Zhao Hongcan's incident, so he thought that Zhao Dequan revealed the news?

If this is the case, he doesn't have to worry at all, because he has no relationship with Zhao Dequan. But the Eighth Prince dare not be careless about Kangxi. As a prince, how could he know how powerful he is? Maybe Kangxi was using the killing of Zhao Dequan to intimidate everyone, especially himself. If this is the case, it is not a good thing for him. I just hope that Kangxi will never doubt himself.

When entering the palace tomorrow, the eighth prince had the idea to explore Kangxi's words and prepare for both ways. If everything goes as usual, he would be relieved. If Kangxi had doubted himself, then what should he do next must be considered carefully.
