Capital City, Babeile Mansion.

This is the mansion of the eighth prince Yinsi, known as the wise king. Since Kangxi returned to Beijing from the north of the border, the prince still sat firmly in his position. The eighth prince always felt uncomfortable as if he had a thorn in his heart. Among all the sons of Kangxi, the eighth prince was favored by Kangxi since childhood, and was the youngest among the other brothers except the prince, except the prince, which is enough to prove the eighth prince's position in Kangxi's heart.

Whether in the eyes of court officials or local officials, the Eighth Prince not only knows the worldly style, but has developed a kind and easy-going style of treating others since childhood, and has a very good popularity. In addition to years of hard work, there are many supporters in both court and local governments. They are the most popular prince besides the prince and the eldest prince.

Unfortunately, the Eighth Prince's biological mother was not from a good background, so although he was favored, he had a natural chance of competing for the position of crown prince compared to other noble princes. However, the Eighth Prince continued to win over all his brothers and ministers through his own efforts, devoted himself to the layout, kept a low profile, and had a strong strength above everyone else, and was known as the Eight Wise King among the people.

"Brother, I heard that the emperor is extremely dissatisfied with the prince, especially the eighteenth brother's death, and even called the prince to severely scold him. As far as I saw, our opportunity will come soon." The fourteenth prince, who had always been with the eighth prince, accompanied Kangxi back to Beijing, and had just moved into the eighth prince's mansion without resting at home. In the past two days, he had been talking to the eighth prince about his experience in Kangxi's northern tour.

The ninth prince Yinzhen was also accompanied by the side. This prince is also very smart. He has been fond of studying since childhood. He also knows a few foreign languages. He is quite knowledgeable about Latin and is considered a talented man among the princes. However, he admires the eighth prince who is not much older since childhood. He is a hardcore in the eighth prince party.

"The prince thought he had a stable position, but he didn't think of a foolish move. He not only ignored his 18th brother and he also paid attention to him, but also found fun in the camp. He deserved it!" The ninth prince said lightly, his expression was full of disdain. The ninth prince has always looked down on the second brother of the prince. In his heart, the ninth prince was his starling brother.

"Be careful!" The Eighth Prince reminded the two brothers: "No one can guess the Emperor's thoughts, and the second brother's affairs are not something we can criticize at will."

"I said to me, you are good at everything, but you are too careful. The emperor has been dissatisfied with the prince for a day or two. In my opinion, he will definitely not be able to grow up. By the way, I heard that the living god Zhang Mingde has calculated a divination for you. The divination is about you, you are rich, pure and elegant, kind, kind, long-lasting, and noble... right?" The fourteenth prince said without any restraint, picked up the fruit on the fruit plate and ate it, and preached carelessly.

The Eighth Prince's face changed suddenly, and he glared at the Fourteenth Prince: "Don't mention this person to me. Zhang Mingde is obviously a liar in the world, and he also said arrogantly that there are sixteen people with his own superpowers. Let me attack the prince in secret. This is clearly a harm to me!"

"There is such a thing?" The Fourteenth Prince was stunned. Even the Ninth Prince next to him showed curiosity. The two of them asked repeatedly what was going on.

The Eighth Prince only realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, but it was impossible to take it back after saying it. But then again, both the Ninth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince are their closest brothers and are also their most loyal supporters. Even if they listen to what they shouldn't have heard, they will not sell themselves.

Immediately, the Eighth Prince picked some things about Zhang Mingde and talked about it. In his opinion, Zhang Mingde was a wise man with a bit of ability, but he was too arrogant and said something too scary. Zhang Mingde not only said that he had the appearance of an emperor, but also suggested that he find someone to assassinate the prince, and he could replace him as long as the prince died. These words scared the Eighth Prince very much at that time. The so-called emperor's appearance was indeed happy at that time, but if he asked him to find someone to kill the prince, the Eighth Prince would never do such a fool. He was not Emperor Taizong of Tang. You must know that in the 47th year of Kangxi's imperial power, no one could compare to the control of the government and the country. Want to imitate the Xuanwu Gate under Kangxi's nose? This is simply seeking death.

The Eighth Prince refused Zhang Mingde's arrogant words and spent some money to send the man away. Afterwards, he realized that Zhang Mingde not only said this in front of him, but also said similar things in front of the eldest prince. At this time, the Eighth Prince would still believe this nonsense?

"What? Is this Zhang Mingde actually recommended to the starling brother?" This was the first time that the Ninth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince heard about this. The Ninth Prince frowned and thought about it and said, "I didn't expect that the boss was also using a foolish trick. It was obviously a bad intention."

"Brother, according to my opinion, Zhang Mingde is a disaster. Why not find someone to find a way to get him..." The 14th Prince shook hands and turned everything down.

"Forget it, the boss may have been deceived. As for Zhang Mingde, he had warned him when he drove him away. I think this person would not talk nonsense anymore..." The Eighth Prince waved his hand generously. It was not difficult to kill Zhang Mingde, but Zhang Mingde was very famous. If he was suddenly killed and followed the clues and found out that he was troublesome, anyway, this matter has been over. Who can know if he didn't say it? However, the Eighth Prince must have dissatisfaction with the eldest prince who recommended Zhang Mingde to him.

"Brother, you're just too soft-hearted!" Seeing that the Eighth Prince said this, the Fourteenth Prince gave up the idea of ​​finding someone to kill Zhang Mingde, but still blamed him. At the same time, he shook his head and said, "Brother Ninth, you are really awesome. You haven't known this guy the first day. Don't look at him as he looks steady and honest on weekdays. There are a lot of bad water in his stomach. If you don't talk about anything else, just this time, the boss has often given eye drops to the prince on the side of the emperor. You just don't know in Beijing."

"Is there something wrong?" The Ninth Prince asked what the situation was. The Fourteenth Prince immediately said something about the eldest prince and the prince outside the Great Wall. After saying that, he sighed: "If something happened to Jiangnan at that time, the Emperor Ma would be in a hurry to send the boss to Jiangnan. If the two of them were not good, they would be even more fierce. What would the Emperor Ma think then would be even less clear..."

The Fourteenth Prince's judgment is correct. In fact, it was precisely because the eldest prince complained many times that Kangxi deposed the prince. But history turned a corner here, the prince was not deposed, and the eldest prince also went to Jiangnan.

"When it comes to Jiangnan, what's your loss this time?" The Ninth Prince asked, "The Eighth Prince has been in charge for many years, and has been helping officials from the inside and outside, and has also made arrangements in Jiangnan. It can be said that half of the officialdom in Jiangnan has the Eighth Prince. This time, Zhu and Yuan raised the banner of rebellion, which has caused trouble to Jiangnan. The loss is considerable for the Eighth Prince, who is basically in Jiangnan.

Speaking of Jiangnan, the Eighth Prince also had a headache. Jiangnan was in chaos and the biggest loss was himself. Now I just hope that the boss can quell the rebellion and restore stability in Jiangnan as soon as possible.

Just as the three of them were talking about the situation in Jiangnan, someone suddenly came to report that an urgent letter came from Jiangnan. The Eighth Prince asked someone to take the letter and took it apart in front of the ninth and fourteenth. After a few glances, his expression changed drastically.

"What's wrong with the starling? Who came from the letter, what is said in the letter?"

"Huang Bingzhong's urgent letter said that something happened in Tonglu!" said the Eighth Prince, handing the letter to the old ninth around him. The Ninth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince were also shocked after reading the letter.

"This matter is not small. It seems that the boss is in trouble, and there is a Jiangnan area..." The eighth prince keenly noticed the serious consequences of Tonglu's loss. He quickly stood up and said, "Let's go and see Ma Qi, Tong Guowei, A Linga and others immediately. I guess the emperor has also received the news at this time."
