When they arrived at Prince Yu's mansion, the people in the mansion welcomed Kangxi to Fuquan's room.

As soon as Kangxi entered the house, he sat down beside the bed with the help of his servants.

He looked at Fuquan who was lying on the hospital bed, his face was sallow and pale, without a trace of anger.

It was obvious that I was lying so flat, but my forehead was filled with sweat as big as beans, as if I had done a lot of effort.

Kangxi waved his hand and sent everyone in the room away, then said, "Old brother, I'm here to see you."

As soon as the voice fell, Fuquan opened his eyes slightly.

But he had the will but lacked strength. Even after a lot of effort, his eyes were only half-closed.

"Here..." Fu Quan said vicissitudes of life.

Seeing his appearance, Kangxi's experienced eyes suddenly turned scarlet.

"Old brother, I'm sorry for you. If I had known this, I would have left you in the capital and let you spend your old age in peace."

"I am so old that I can't even stay idle... I like to fight against the thieves with the emperor..." Fuquan said weakly, "It's because the emperor is the emperor. This time the dragon body is damaged, it's my dereliction of duty..."

Kangxi sighed, was silent for a while, and said, "Neither of us brothers is afraid of death, but they are afraid of those endless jackals, tigers and leopards who covet the Qing Dynasty. Now that I am old, I have long put my life and death aside. There is only one thing, I want to ask my old brother."

"Prince, please say..."

"I used to think that I could still fight and govern the Qing Dynasty. But since I returned to Beijing, my body was getting worse day by day, and I realized that I needed to establish a good-character crown prince."

Kangxi said, pausing slightly, "But the officials in the court have long been able to rely on them for a good reliance. Now, these words can only be told to you. You have always been a selfless person. I want to hear what you think."

The important officials of the dynasty had their own supporters a few years ago.

If he asked, maybe it might be the same as a few years ago, most of them supported the eighth brother.

Because Lao Ba is a person who is used to winning people's hearts.

Even if he was demoted to a commoner, there were still a lot of people relying on him.

Therefore, what those people say is not credible.

But what Fuquan said would be different.

This is the old brother Kangxi trusted, and his words are good at dying.

"Since the emperor trusts me, I want to recommend the Eighth Prince to you." Fuquan took a few breaths.

"What! It's fine if those officials were bribed by him. Now, have you even been bribed by him?"

Fuquan shook his head and said, "It's not a question of bribery. It's just a few years ago when I was seriously ill. When the Eighth Prince served me in the mansion, I felt his sincerity and filial piety. In addition, there are some things that I want to dare to tell the truth, and may... offend the emperor."

"But it's okay."

"The Eighth Prince was a minister who grew up. He was both virtuous and talented since he was a child. He loved and helped each other with the princes, and was kind and kind. It is precisely because of this that he was respected and supported by all officials and became the first to the prince. Similarly, these good qualities are also his shortcomings. If he is really guilty, it is also a crime of having talent and virtue, or a crime of outstanding virtue and talent."

At this moment, Fuquan protected the Eighth Master like those ordinary elders.

After all, which elder does not like filial governance and gentle personality?

Kangxi felt that he was about to lose control of himself.

Fortunately, Fuquan said almost the same thing.

Although what Fuquan said did offend him.

If this is replaced by someone else, Kangxi would be furious.

But at this moment, Fuquan's words were not angry with him.

But what Fuquan said was far from the eighth prince in his heart.

"Old brother, you know for a lifetime. Just like those officials, I was deceived by his gentle appearance!"

Fuquan opened his mouth and wanted to say something for Master Ba.

Kangxi gently pressed his shoulder and said, "Don't rush to talk to me first, let's listen to me after I finish speaking. It's okay if you say it."

Fuquan was slightly stunned, but he didn't say anything anymore.

"You said that the Eighth Prince and the Prince love each other and help each other is just the surface. You know, when the prince entered the clan's mansion, the prince clearly told him to tell him, but when I asked him, he didn't mention it. In the end, the fourth brother told me the truth. Not only that, he also framed the prince many times. Later, he reached out to the fourth brother and the fourth brother."

Fuquan: "..."

"Besides talking about his benevolence and righteousness, I rule people with kindness, and he wins people's hearts with kindness. I have been too indulging in the lower class, but he is even more indulgent than me. Even if his benevolence is true, it will only completely destroy the Qing Dynasty's country!" Finally, Kangxi added: "Especially in recent years, the treasury has suffered serious losses, and the Qing Dynasty cannot be defeated in the hands of such people."

What made Kangxi exhausted the most but was powerless was to rectify the administration and fill the treasury.

Over the years, Kangxi has given great favorable treatment to his ministers and brothers who have fought with him.

It’s like asking for a house and a car.

There was a minister who wanted a beautiful maid to warm his feet. Kangxi was very generous and gave him twelve one at once.

Not to mention the losses caused by borrowing money from the treasury.

In addition, the feast of Thousand Old Ones last year also consumed a lot of financial resources.

These expenses after expenses have made the treasury full of holes.

But even though Kangxi knew about it, he didn't plan to clean up this mess anymore.

Because those important ministers and brothers, since he ascended the throne, fought with him and suffered a lot.

One by one, the friendship with him is no less than that of a brother like Fuquan.

Now that the Qing Dynasty has finally become prosperous, he can't help but go to collect debts from those brothers, so he can only turn a blind eye.

Moreover, Kangxi was old and wanted to keep a reputation as a benevolent and righteous ruler in history, but he did not want to be too mean and polite to the old ministers who had made contributions.

But his not planning to clean up the mess does not mean that this mess will never be cleaned up.

Therefore, this arduous task is naturally left to future generations, that is, the new emperor who ascends the throne in the future.

He himself also understood this deeply, in order to ensure that the Qing Dynasty could continue to maintain it a hundred years later.

The new successor to the throne must have the courage and ability to deal with the mess he left behind.

Help him block the holes caused by his implementation of "benevolent government".

However, for Kangxi, the Eighth Prince was simply too kind and righteous.

If he ascended the throne, wouldn’t the Qing Dynasty go from deficit to destruction?

At this time, Fuquan felt that nothing Kangxi said was a matter.

He said: "I believe that these are not the problems, and they can always be changed in terms of dealing with people and affairs."

"Okay, put aside those things, just talk about other aspects of him. Every time he has a good job, he will squeeze his head and grab it with his disciples. Whenever he encounters a difficult job, he will be vague and unwilling to take over. In addition, have you ever known that this time Cewang Alabutan is all about him colluding in secret and using his spare time to open the way for the thieves!"
