Shock! I accidentally entered the Qing Dynasty and was spoiled by the Fourth Master
Chapter 97 The battle for storage positions
It is the beginning of autumn, and the Forbidden City is still a peaceful place in autumn. However, the difference is that there are undercurrents in the court.
As long as the position of the Crown Prince is not decided, the court officials will continue to discuss it. The eldest prince and the eighth prince's party are both trying their best to get that position. Kangxi has been summoning people to the Hall of Supreme Harmony for questioning in recent days, and today it is Yinzhen's turn.
There was a high probability that Yinzhen guessed the emperor's question. He knew that the emperor's father still had some attachment to the prince. After all, he always felt guilty towards Hesheli and could only place his love on the prince.
Yinzhen not only did not say anything bad about the prince this time, but also pleaded with the emperor for the prince, asking the emperor to give him another chance to reform. Kangxi felt relieved when he heard Yinzhen's answer. Sure enough, someone understood what he meant. The position of the East Palace was still vacant for so long, and he was still thinking about Yinreng in his heart, but what he lacked now was someone to plead for him. Yinzhen understood what he meant.
Kangxi was very satisfied with Yinzhen's answer. Unlike the eldest prince and the eighth prince who were secretly competing for the position, the eldest prince had been very close to Nalan Mingzhu recently and had many factions. A few days ago, when Kangxi asked him what he thought of the prince, he actually had the intention to kill him. Kangxi was increasingly unable to see through the intentions of his sons.
With Yinzhen's plea, the release of the prince was just around the corner, but it just took an opportunity.
On the surface, the eldest prince and the eighth prince were fighting fiercely. Kangxi could not bear to see such discord between brothers. While he was still in power, his sons began to fight with each other, form cliques, and engage in factions for personal gain, disrupting the political situation in the court. It would be better to restore the throne of the crown prince and maintain peace than to have the two sides fighting each other.
Rumors were spreading in the palace that the Emperor was planning to reinstate the Crown Prince. The news spread more and more, and many people began to believe it.
The emperor lost his eighteenth prince, and Concubine Xin gave birth to the nineteenth prince. There was another happy event in the palace, but every time Kangxi saw this child, he would think of the eighteenth prince who died young. He loved Concubine Xin's child very much and promoted her to Concubine Xin, making her the head of a palace.
Concubine Mi cried all day long after losing the Eighteenth Prince. The child who was so lively and energetic on the day of the tour was gone. Kangxi was worried about her and often took out his free time to accompany her. Concubine Mi lost a lot of weight and couldn't eat. The Imperial Hospital prescribed some nourishing soup to regulate the spleen and stomach and calm the nerves. Kangxi ordered the palace maids to make sure she drank it every day.
Yinzhen left the palace but did not rush back to the Prince's Mansion. Nian Gengyao had escorted Wu Sidao to the capital some time ago, and today he received a message saying that he had arrived in the capital. A few days ago, he found a house in a quiet place in the capital just to welcome Mr. Wu's arrival.
When Yinzhen first met Wu Sidao, he told him about recent events. Wu Sidao, who had joined the Fourth Prince's rank, naturally had no reservations. He suggested that Yinzhen recommend the restoration of the crown prince to the emperor in order to win Kangxi's favor.
Yinzhen understood it immediately. He would not fight for the position of crown prince. The more critical the situation, the more he would seek progress in a stable way. The emperor hated brothers turning against each other the most. As an emperor, he was extremely suspicious, and he would not be an exception even for his son.
The Thirteenth Prince was a little worried when he knew that he was summoned to the palace by the Emperor today, so he went to the Fourth Prince's mansion to wait for him as soon as he left the palace. It was not until the afternoon that he saw Yinzhen return home.
As soon as Thirteen saw the carriage at the door, he ran out and asked, "Fourth brother, how is it?"
Yinzhen motioned for him to go inside to talk further, and sent everyone around him away, leaving only the two of them inside.
"The Emperor did not ask any questions about the Crown Prince today." Yinzhen's tone was calm, without any ups and downs.
Old Thirteen next to him couldn't sit still anymore: "Did Fourth Brother say anything?"
Kangxi had not yet questioned the Thirteenth Prince, so he was naturally a little anxious. Yinzhen cared about his younger brother very much, and hinted at his thoughts, hoping that he would not make mistakes in front of the Emperor.
The Thirteenth Prince knew that the eldest prince and the eighth brother both wanted to compete for the position of crown prince, but he was not interested. After hearing what his fourth brother said, he could understand that the Emperor had deep feelings for the crown prince. Although he seemed indifferent to the crown prince on the surface these days, he was privately worried about this matter and summoned the imperial physician to take his pulse several times.
What they have to do now is to wait for a suitable opportunity to plead with the emperor and help to reinstate the prince.
