"You said that Laoba called Jingxi in the mansion and went to Shangsiyuan again?"
After listening to Wei Zhu's report, Kangxi didn't know what Yinhu wanted to do for a while. Did this guy want to go to Yinhu for verification in person? If according to Lingpu, he asked Heqi to win over Jingxi, and then wanted to win over King An.
idea, then...
No, no, the emperor thought to himself, could Ling Pu and Tuo Heqi report all the details to the prince? Besides, a son knows better than his father. Yin Reng has always been impatient with things that are too detailed, and this child's temperament is not very refined.
Yinfeng focused on the local governor, so he only wanted results for his efforts in the capital. So, what did Yinhu do? He went to the Siyuan... I didn't let him go.
"No one stopped him when he went to the Siyuan?" Kangxi asked curiously. After all, the key person there was Yinreng. Yinti and Yinzhen were also cautious, so how could Lao Ba get in quietly?
Wei Zhu knelt on the ground without daring to raise his head and said, "Replying to the emperor, Babeile told the guards that the emperor asked Prince Zhi to go back to his mansion to reflect, and ordered his errand, so he can also enter the Siyuan...the guards did not dare to stop him.
With."
The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. An elder brother who has never done outside errands can understand this. Logically speaking, Kangxi, as a father, should be very happy. But the emperor, who recently dug out the old Tang books and read them again, couldn't help but think of it.
Li Shimin made full use of every title he had and finally carried out the Xuanwu Gate Revolution.
Of course, this does not mean that Yinhu can touch the heels of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Kangxi's focus is not on this. He absolutely does not want to be Li Yuan. Therefore, with this kind of power in hand, Yinhu can make full use of it and let people
His ability to be speechless naturally aroused the emperor's disgust.
Babeile, who still didn't know that he had stepped into a minefield, was going to the Siyuan for questioning. Naturally, the target was the abandoned prince, his second brother who had caused him a lot of trouble.
Yinreng came out of the tent and frowned the moment he saw Yinhu. It was actually Yinhu who came to ask questions. Yinreng felt sad in his heart. Khan Ama really thought that his son had not done well.
, has no way of being a son of man, so why use Lao Ba to humiliate him?
"I have been ordered to ask the second elder brother." Yinsu saw the deposed prince's face change instantly, but he smiled happily. "Ask the second elder brother, whether Ling Pu and Tuo Heqi said that the prince has been the prince for thirty years.
, the emperor’s favor is declining day by day, and he is worried in his heart.”
"How do I know?" Yinreng asked back, "Eighth brother thinks I am the kind of master who cares about every detail? Well, back then, eighth brother served on the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he should know my temper."
Yinhu's eyebrows furrowed. He came in with the eunuch responsible for guarding and the guard responsible for recording. They all looked at Yinhu at this moment. Babeile's Adam's apple moved twice, but he didn't say anything, he just smiled and said, "
I am just asking questions according to the order, and since the second brother only said that he does not know... Then," he gestured to the guard who was recording, "write it down, the deposed prince said that he did not know."
"Yinhu!" Yinreng was furious and wanted to pounce on him, but was held down by the eunuch, "You bastard!"
"Where did the second brother start talking about this? You said you don't know, but both Tuoheqi and Lingpu are the confidants of the second brother... You say you don't know, because you look down on my younger brother and think I am stupid? Who do you think will believe this?
.”
Yinhu waved the eunuch away, and he walked into Yinfeng and said loudly, "Tuo Heqi and Lingpu were having a banquet. Not only Jingxi was invited, but also Geng'e, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Dutong Ezhen, and the Ministry of Punishment were also present. Shang Shu Qi Shiwu, is your brother right?"
"If you think about it carefully, three of them have military power, one is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice." Yinsu still smiled and asked loudly, "Does the second brother know about these people participating in the banquet?"
"So what if you know, so what if you don't know." Yinreng's veins popped out in anger, "Yes, I know, so what!" Yinhu actually dared to look at him with that look, and Yinreng was so angry that he had been tense for this period of time. The tense nerves were broken angrily.
"If the second brother comes to force me to the throne, relying on your reputation in the East Palace, a few important ministers, and the prestige of the Hesheli family, I can ascend to the throne in an instant." Yinhu said in a voice that only two people could hear, "What a pity. Second brother will never have a chance."
"You despicable person!"
boom!
When Yinhu came to Qianqing Palace to report back, he told Kangxi with tears, "My son asked me about it, but he was punched by his second brother and called a despicable person." Yinhu knelt down, his big tears hitting the floor tiles. Above, "My son, I know that my second brother looks down on me because of my background, but... I was scolded in the face, and I..."
Although Kangxi was suspicious of Yinhu, he was only slightly suspicious. There was still a feeling of father and son. Besides, Yinhu was still a minister of the emperor, let alone this meeting. Even if he was outside the customs, his brother, who was not of high origin, could not get it. The title of high nobility was only recognized as a tacit understanding. No one dared to publicly scold his brother in the face.
Are you scolding your brother or your father? Kangxi was so angry that he couldn't speak again. He asked Wei Zhu to go to the Siyuan to ask the eunuchs and guards, and then checked the records himself. When he found out, he told Yinhu about it. Same.
What Yin Reng did was really...the emperor was discouraged and used his birth status to attack his brothers, which showed no sign of a human king.
There are also Tuo Heqi, Ling Pu, Geng E, and E repairing the banquet and colluding with the party. It seems that Yin Reng’s previous excuses were all lies! He knew it well and was ready to force the palace. Still not going to kill his father?
Both Yinti and himself believed his lies!
After this incident, both Yinzhen and Yinzhu were relieved of their duties. Kangxi ordered people to strictly interrogate those involved in the prince's case. Prince Zhi was finally called into the palace by Kangxi.
"The affairs of the imperial court still have to be handled and cannot be delayed. The last time the granary was inspected near Zhili was in the 35th year of Kangxi's reign." Kangxi said, "Ten years have passed. Although the Ministry of Revenue has asked localities to inspect it on time, I am not too relieved. This time You will go to Zhili as an imperial envoy."
"Khan Amma asked you to inspect the Zhili granary?" Back at the house, Daoqin asked, "Seeing that winter is coming, are you going now?"
"Yes, it happens that the autumn harvest has passed. Now, if there is a shortage of food in the local granary, it is a fraud to perfunctory the court." Yinti said, "Zhili is no better than other places. Once there is a drought in the north, the best thing to do is to stabilize Zhili. Stabilize Shanxi and Henan. Once these two places are stabilized, disaster relief in Shaanxi can be achieved as soon as possible, and the north can be protected."
"...and Khan Amma also said," Yin Ti's expression was a bit indescribable, "Khan Amma also asked me to take Hong Han with me, saying that the child should not be kept in the palace all the time. He had never seen the suffering of the people except for patrolling. I don’t know what’s underneath.”
Daoqin's face also changed. The couple looked at each other, and they both felt that the old man's move was a bit metaphorical. Ordinary clan members need to know about the sufferings of the people and how to do things. But the couple did not dare to be sentimental, in case the old man spoke out. Changed again...
"I told Honghan to take him out and have a look." Yinti said, "The longevity is burdened by Yuqing Palace. Now he is the oldest among the emperor's grandchildren, so it makes sense." In short, don't let the child have anything. A sense of superiority, or the realization that his future may be further, to keep a low profile.
However, this was Prince Zhi's own idea. Neither he nor Fujin expected that before Honghan left the palace, he was first called to the Qianqing Palace by Kangxi and told him something like, "Learn from you, Ama, and don't let me down." , went to Yanxi Palace again, and was given instructions by Concubine Hui.
"You are the first among the grandsons of the emperor. Although you are not allowed to run errands alone, it is easy to be obedient by following your Ama. You will not go wrong if you learn more," Concubine Hui tried hard to suppress her smile, "You must also pay attention to your health when you are outside. Don't let your mother-in-law worry."
Hong Han vaguely understood why Ma Ma gave such instructions, and why Khan Ama specifically called him to the Yangxin Hall. Was it because after the death of his second uncle, Ama was going to take over the East Palace?
Although the emperor's grandsons are still young and they are studying in the palace, they are unlikely to know much about the outside world. However, since the prince was deposed and died, and Hongxi did not come to the study for a long time to study, these emperors' grandsons still knew.
Hong Han, who is already a handsome young man, also understands what it means to establish a direct descendant, so the masters in the study began to ask him questions and pay more attention to him, and the uncles who studied together were also very polite to him. Hong Han already had a premonition.
Especially when Hong Xi came back to study, he looked at Hong Han with complicated eyes and said, "My eldest brother asked me to follow brother Hong Han."
"Honghan?"
In the prince's palace, Yinti was explaining some necessary matters to Hong Han, but found that the child was distracted. Oops, my son will also desert? Yinti smiled and said, "Hong Han? What are you thinking about!"
The eldest brother suddenly came back to his senses, looked around and saw no one around, and asked in a low voice, "Amma, do you want to be the prince?"
"Who told you this?" Yinti did not answer directly.
Honghan shook his head, "My son thinks about it himself." As he said that, he told his father about his experience in the palace during this period. Yinti was so busy that he didn't care about his son when he came back from Chengde. Last time Honghan When I returned home, I was reflecting on myself and didn't ask him too much.
Unexpectedly, the palace's response was also very quick.
"Furthermore, during this time, Master Yang was teaching his son about the Book of Rites, and Zhang Hanlin from the South Study Room was telling his son about the imperial system. I think they both emphasized the establishment of direct descendants and the establishment of elders." Hong Han said, "Hong Xi also said that Brother Deshou told him , let him follow me."
"Then are you happy?" Yinti asked with a smile on his face, but in fact he was very serious. "If Amma becomes the prince, you will be the prince's eldest son, and your Khanma will value you more."
"My son feels that if something goes wrong, there must be a monster... Hanmafa hasn't sealed you yet." Hong Han was afraid that Yin Ti would be unhappy, so he whispered, "Things you don't hold in your hands are not safe."
Yinti clasped his hands and laughed. At Honghan's age, it is good to have this understanding. "You are very good and your thinking is right. Unless you are sure of what you are holding in your hand, you can't be so arrogant. Amma knows , you were as always to Hongxi in the study, neither humble nor overbearing."
"Although your second uncle has been deposed, Deshou, Hongxi, and Hongjin are still the grandsons of the emperor. Besides, you, Han Mafa, have loved your second uncle for decades and loved your house as much as you. They will never forget Deshou.
"
"That's what Ama said," Hong Han frowned, and the young man's delicate face was a little funny, "If Mafa wants to make Ama the crown prince, there is no guarantee that he won't compare Ama with his second uncle."
Comparing the predecessor and the current one, Yinti smiled bitterly. His son actually understood an important issue in various emotional relationships without any teacher. The king of Zhijun said, "So Ama has to go on errands now, instead of staying in the capital to interfere with the deposed prince."
As for you, now that you understand the truth, you don't have to worry about those things so much."
"Yes, son, just follow Amma out!"
The deposed prince went crazy in the Shangsi Courtyard and beat Ba Beile. Although the outsiders did not know the inside story very well, the news that "the deposed prince was hysterical" spread throughout the city before Yin Ti left the capital.
If "arrogant and extravagant" and "conspiracy and rebellion" that have not yet been clearly convicted are external flaws of the deposed prince, then "crazy illness" is Yinreng's internal fatal flaw.
How can a lunatic still be the crown prince, consolidate the foundation of the country, and secure the world?
This move is really cruel, it is meant to destroy Yinreng from the outside to the inside. When leaving the capital, Prince Zhi looked at the fallen leaves on the street being swept into the ditch by street sweepers, and thought to himself, now Yinreng is really
It's like the leaves are falling in autumn and people are cleaning up and leaving. It's hard to have a chance to make a comeback.
If you think about it carefully, in the original world, the reason why the two were abolished and the two established two was because after the crown prince was deposed, the eldest son committed suicide. The remaining brothers were young and had little experience. Kangxi didn't think clearly about which one to establish and wanted to take a look.
But Yinhu pulled a group of people to cheer for him, and Kangxi absolutely did not want to establish Lao Ba as his heir, so he reinstated Yinreng to stabilize the situation. Who knew that Yinreng became increasingly insecure, making mistakes every step of the way?
, and finally Kangxi deposed him again, and there was no such strong regret or pain.
But the current situation is that Lao Ba made another move to add insult to injury, making Kangxi angry and making Yinfeng's "sins" and "diseases" public. To do these things, you need money and manpower, and Yinhu's trump card is these.
It should be almost done.
Yin Ti sat on the horse and thought slowly. He first escaped from the case of guarding and interrogating the deposed prince, and now he is away from the capital on business. The third child is heartless, the fourth child is not strong enough, and the eighth child stands out.
There has always been only a thousand days to be a thief, not a thousand days to guard against thieves. God knows what the old man wants to do, and what troubles the old man will make. I have to find someone to raise the matter of re-establishing the crown prince, but this person cannot have a direct relationship with me yet. Wait until the emperor
When asked, I couldn't say that I approved of Prince Zhi becoming the crown prince.
Wait a minute, if I were Lao Ba, what would I do...
Does he have the confidence to wait? Yinhu should be more worried about the emperor's other ideas than he is. He is even less willing to have long nights and dreams, so he will find a way to bring up the issue of establishing a crown prince as soon as possible.
The prince is the foundation of the country, and the emperor is getting old. The ministers are worried about the legitimacy and legality of the inheritance of the country.
Therefore, Yinti will find a way by himself without taking action at all. What Yinti needs to worry about now is that if Kangxi really holds a "meeting of political kings and ministers to discuss and decide" and makes a recommendation, Lao Bage must be chosen.
That's good.
Just as Yinhu wanted to kill Yinreng, Prince Zhi also wanted Kangxi to completely eliminate Yinhu's qualifications to succeed to the throne, leaving Laoba to cause chaos and endless troubles.
