The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 60: Secret
Everyone looked at each other and slowly retreated. Just as Li Yan walked to the door, Kangxi said, "Tenth Master, please stay for a while. I really enjoy your massage. Please give me another massage."

"Yes, Father Your Majesty!" Li Yan responded and stopped.

After everyone left, Kangxi winked at Li Dequan, who stood guard at the door. Kangxi took Li Yan into the inner room and said, "Old Ten, what do you want to say to me?"

Li Yan took a deep breath, and silently brewed his emotions in his heart. He knelt on the ground and said, "Father, my second brother has lost his moral integrity, and it is his own fault. Father has been very kind to him, and the world knows it. Even after thousands of generations, his name will not be tarnished. Even if my second brother has a thousand faults, I will never believe that he mobilized troops to rebel. Even if he has the intention, he definitely does not have the courage. Father, you are wise!"

"snort!."

"Ling Pu's 2,000 men are already in the palace. Who else could it be if not him? What is there to be afraid of?" Kangxi said angrily.

Li Yan thought quickly in his mind, how to draw attention to the handwritten note without making any noise. While thinking about the plot, he was also thinking about what would happen in the evening.

Thinking quickly in his mind, he said sadly: "Father, I heard that Lingpu's troops came to the palace under the order of the Crown Prince. When the army came, my second brother was not in the army, but was with my thirteenth brother. If my second brother really had good intentions, at this critical moment, he should have made a desperate move and brought Lingpu's troops here himself. Why would he need to issue an order? Isn't this unnecessary?"

"You mean?"

Upon hearing this, Kangxi hurried to the couch, took the prince's handwritten edict placed on it and read it carefully. After a while, his breathing became rapid and his eyes suddenly widened.

"This decree is fake"

"It's an imitation of the handwriting. Who did it?"

Facing Kangxi's question, Li Yan looked helpless and hesitant: "Son, I don't know, but..."

"But what?"

"What do you know? Or did you hear something?"

Kangxi turned to look at Li Yan and asked with a serious face.

"I just think it's a coincidence, and I have some guesses in my mind, but I don't have any evidence. If I say it rashly, I'm afraid it will mislead the emperor. This matter is serious, and I dare not say anything."

"Just say there's no danger. I will check it myself and will not hold you responsible for your words." Kangxi dispelled Li Yan's concerns.

Li Yan said calmly, "Father, I will only tell you the facts I have seen. You can make your own judgment on the rest."

Seeing Kangxi nodded, Li Yan thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "I went to visit Big Brother tonight. When we were chatting, Fourteenth Brother rushed in and said excitedly, 'Big Brother, I have a solution.' At this moment, he saw me at the scene and hurriedly hid something in his hand in his sleeves, looking flustered. Then he greeted me and said that he had something to ask Big Brother, as if it was inconvenient for me to know."

"Then I took my leave."

"Although it was only a brief moment, because I was facing the gate, I still saw that the object was bright yellow. Because such items are usually used by the emperor, I thought it was an order from the emperor, but since Fourteenth Brother didn't tell me, I didn't ask any more questions. Now that I think about it, that object and the imperial edict in front of me are quite similar."

Kangxi asked anxiously, "You mean, it's the Fourteenth and Eighth?"

"Your Majesty, I just saw the handwritten edict, and a thought flashed through my mind. It was just too coincidental, but I have no other evidence, and I dare not speculate. Your Majesty must investigate everything in detail. If you suspect Eighth Brother and Fourteenth Brother based on my guess alone, then it is my fault." As long as the hoe is wielded well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down.

Hard work and digging holes are equally important
Kangxi was silent for a while, then nodded silently: "I am very pleased that you can be honest with me. I did not misjudge you. Don't worry, I know your concerns. I will send someone to investigate this matter and will not wrongly accuse my son."

Kangxi walked back and forth in the room, looking hesitant!

After a while.

Li Yan knew that too many things happened tonight, and Kangxi had to think about how to end it. The people involved were either the crown prince, the princes, the ministers, or the generals who held military power. If something went wrong, it would cause a bigger chaos.

Seeing this, Li Yan stepped forward and said, "Father, I have some immature suggestions. I'd like to share them with you for your reference."

Kangxi stopped and looked at Li Yan steadily without saying a word!
"Father, since you have determined that this edict is fake, it means that someone wants to take advantage of the situation to stir up trouble and frame the prince. We cannot determine who this person is for now, but everyone present has this possibility, and no one can be ruled out as a suspect. In this case, Father, please do not rush to draw conclusions. If you rush, you will inevitably make wrong judgments."

"Hurry and things will be in chaos, slow and things will be smooth!"

"Your Majesty, why don't you end this trip and return to the capital first. Once we get back, we can slowly investigate and deal with the matter. I think this is safer. Please consider it, Your Majesty." Li Yan said cautiously.

When Kangxi heard this, his heart moved, and the expression on his face eased a lot. He looked at Li Yan with appreciation and smiled for the first time since tonight: "Well, you are right. It's rare that you have the heart to share the worries of your emperor and father. I understand."

"Also, I have a task for you. Since you already have a clue, you can secretly investigate this fake imperial edict for me."

"How about it, do you dare to take this job?"

Li Yan's heart was lifted. This showed that the old man valued him! He wanted to see his ability, and maybe he also wanted to raise him.

However, Kangxi would probably be in trouble for this kind of thing.

If such a thing were to be exposed, one would lose his head. Even if the prince's life would not be in danger, he would probably never have the chance to become the crown prince in the future. If he were to be imprisoned again, his life would be over.

The Eighth and Fourteenth Princes would definitely not tell anyone even if they die. If the investigation is to involve the prince, we must be cautious!
Besides, even if the truth is found out, how should he deal with it? He is his own son anyway, which is troublesome. However, in this situation, he must not refuse, otherwise he will leave an impression of irresponsibility in Kangxi's mind. He must accept the job, but he can't accept it for nothing, he must get some benefits for himself.

Thinking of this, Li Yan said firmly: "Your Majesty has entrusted this matter to me, which shows that you value me. I will not disappoint you no matter what I say. I accepted it, just because I want to borrow something from you."

"Oh? What?"

"A token that represents the emperor's identity. It can be used for investigation. In addition, you can use this item to meet the emperor at any time."

Kangxi thought for a moment, took something off his body and handed it to Li Yan, instructing him: "It can only be used for investigating cases and passing through, and it is not allowed to be used indiscriminately."
