Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 172 The Prince Was Abandoned
After Xue Yi came back from Zhang Tingyu's house, he kept sighing. Xue Hong smiled and said, "Father is so anxious about something. Is there something wrong with elder brother being away?"

Xue Yi shook his head: "That's not true. Your brother has only been away for less than a month. How can something happen so easily? It turned out that I went to Mr. Zhang's house today. Mr. Zhang said that he had received a letter from Brother Thirteen. The eighth elder brother had a big quarrel with the prince, and the fourth elder brother is now planning to impeach the prince, but I always feel that this matter is a little unreliable."

is not that right?As soon as the father and the second son finished arguing, the fourth son began to speak ill of the second son to his father. Could the father suspect that the fourth son was deliberately sowing discord?
Knowing that a big event was about to happen, Xue Yi said with a smile, "I think it's better for Si elder brother to do nothing now."

"How to say?"

"Father, think about it. The emperor used to get angry with the crown prince often, but every time it was thunderous and rainy, which time did the crown prince really succeed? Even if the emperor really managed the crown prince this time, then there is someone in the capital who is worse than us." An impatient person will make some moves, the fourth elder brother should not be reckless, and wouldn't it be good to wait and see first?"

Xue Yi understood as soon as he heard it: "You mean...Baye?"

Xue Hong nodded: "Isn't it? Eighth Prince has always been a smart person, and he is very sophisticated. He knows that his mother has no one to rely on, and everything depends on himself, so he has devoted himself to studying the emperor's knowledge for so many years. Temperament, and all behaviors are based on this. In addition, he himself does not have the arrogance of being an elder brother, not only the friendship with the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother among the brothers is extraordinary , and deliberately courteous corporals, and have a good relationship with the ministers in the court.

But it does seem like a good thing on the surface, at least compared to our fourth elder brother, there are a lot more people in the eighth elder brother camp.However, there is a fatal disadvantage in this way, I wonder if my father can see it? "

Xue Yi smiled wryly: "As a father, I only know that the fourth elder brother is currently employing people, but there are not many people in his hands. This is a difficult problem, but I don't know what will happen if the eighth elder brother gathers firewood and flames are high." Disadvantage."

Xue Hong smiled again, and said two words leisurely: "Party struggle. Sometimes our eighth master is not too smart, but he is good at using other people's mouth to tell what is in his heart, never He will directly express to the emperor what he wants to do, and he will guide his followers who follow him to speak their best in front of the emperor.

Although one's own poems are not worth what others say, but the more people praise Ba Ye in front of the emperor, the more dangerous Ba Ye will be.Do you think the emperor is only dissatisfied with the prince's attitude?In fact, I think it is more because the prince also has a "princeling" created by Suo Etu's painstaking efforts behind him, which is the emperor's confidant's serious trouble.Now that the 'princelings' have just subsided, and so many people suddenly appear to say good things about the eighth elder brother, isn't the emperor afraid that there will be another 'eighth son party' after the 'princelings'?

Don't say you don't know that our emperor is the most taboo of party conflicts. If it is true as I expected, after the fall of the crown prince, if the eighth master does not realize the disadvantages of party conflicts, I am afraid he will not have a good life. "

"Then it depends on you, our fourth brother doesn't have to do anything?"

"Before the situation is clear, acting rashly will only lead to death. Our fourth elder brother has been playing the role of a filial son until now. Every day, there are endless greetings and greetings. All the tasks entrusted to him by the emperor are not one of them. It's not overfulfilled. Why are you so careful? Isn't it to leave a good impression in the mind of the emperor? The emperor is a lenient and easy-going temperament. Does he like to see sons who are fighting endlessly? Or do they like to see a benevolent and kind son?

The fourth elder brother is starting to make many arrangements now. It is better to wait until the emperor is completely disappointed with the prince and the eighth master before trying to show it. At that time, not only will the chances of winning be greater, but it will also be more convenient to do things, isn't it? "

Xue Yi still felt a little uneasy: "Will it be? Will the emperor be disappointed with Ba Ye? Look at him now..."

Yes, Xue Hong is also worried, the eighth elder brother Yinhu is really smart, will everything develop like the history he knows well?Hey, never mind, anyway, he was just giving advice, and Yinzhen had to choose what to do in the end, anyway, he was just telling the truth.

Unexpectedly, in September of this year, what should have happened still happened.

Since Lord Kangxi and Yinreng had a big quarrel, instead of reflecting on his own fault, Yinreng became very angry, and even went about activities outside Lord Kangxi's camp every day, and personally spied on Lord Kangxi's every word and deed, causing Kangxi to Grandpa is vigilant and restless day and night, and feels that the seeds that Prince Yinreng has planted in his heart to assassinate the king are about to ripen. I am afraid that Yinreng may kill himself at any time, so he wants to ascend the throne as soon as possible.

Lord Kangxi is an emperor through the ages, how could he bear this?So Lord Kangxi prepared to strike first while protecting himself.On the fourth day of September, on his way back to Beijing, he summoned all the kings and ministers above the vice capital, and announced that the crown prince would be abolished for crimes such as breaking the law of the ancestors, disobeying the group training, violence and fornication, and ordered the prince to be detained and returned to Beijing immediately. , sent to Xian'an Palace for confinement.

This incident was like a depth bomb with great firepower, shaking the Qing Dynasty up and down.I have heard that the prince is arrogant and arrogant. He has done many illegal things but was ignored by the emperor. He has even committed such a big crime as being unfavorable to the country. The emperor has never been willing to punish the prince. Why is the prince now? Was it really abolished?
Although the whole country was deeply surprised by this edict, most people applauded it.The crown prince has long been in disrepair. If the Qing Dynasty were to be handed over to such a person, it would be too good to see what would happen.

As soon as the order to abolish the prince came out, the contradictions among the princes became more and more serious, and the battle for the reserve position intensified.At this time, it was not Xue Hong's eighth elder brother Yinhu who was the first to be the "early bird", but the eldest elder brother Yinxi hit the "first shot".

In fact, it is also his death.This eldest elder brother Yinyi was originally the oldest, with military achievements, but he didn't want to see the emperor abolish the crown prince. He even fancied that his Huang Ama intended to pass the throne to him, but he didn't expect to be reprimanded by Kangxi.

After the reprimand, you always restrain yourself, he doesn't think so, but wants to test what Lord Kangxi thinks, and even did a stupid thing that made everyone think that he was "kicked in the head by a donkey".What did he do?
