Yinzhen: Become the favorite of the group in the Qing Dynasty where the brothers were reborn

As miserable as the Thirteenth Prince is, he is really not just a little bit miserable.

Originally, because he was young, he was not allowed to go to the study room to study with his fourth brother.

And now, his father-in-law is determined to train him since he was young, so every day when he opens his eyes, he asks Liang Jiugong to hold him.

He was carried to the imperial study. What were he doing?

Just sit in!

As a two-year-old little prince, it was just right for him to sit in on the proceedings, and the ministers who came and went were all unable to say anything.

But once you leave the palace, there will still be some rumors.

So rumors spread that the Emperor particularly doted on the Thirteenth Prince, and that he was even comparable to the Crown Prince when he was young.

Because all the ministers who came and went saw with their own eyes the emperor holding the Thirteenth Prince in his arms while reviewing memorials and advising on state affairs.

This completely overshadowed the previous plans to promote the Imperial Noble Consort to the title of Queen and to change the Imperial Edict for the Fourth Prince.

Be it the title of queen or the revision of the imperial edict, those were all groundless rumors. How could they be as shocking as what one saw with one's own eyes.

Soetu hurriedly handed a card to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, requesting to enter the palace to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

He had to be nervous. Now, the eldest prince had already entered the Ministry of Rites. He had been to the barracks last year and entered the Ministry of Rites again this year. The emperor's intention to train his eldest son was obvious.

Then came the Thirteenth Prince, who was much loved and valued. It was said that the Thirteenth Prince was smart and clever, a genius prodigy, and his talent far surpassed that of the Crown Prince.

In the court, the eldest prince is the most eye-catching one, and in the harem, the thirteenth prince is vying for favor. If the imperial concubine is crowned as queen and the fourth prince's jade book is altered, it will be a reality. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be surrounded by enemies on all sides, and life will become increasingly difficult!

Unstable position, these four words are how Soetu directly described His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

However, Soetu's application to enter the palace was not approved by Yinreng.

He did not meet Suo-etu, but gave him a letter with only a few words on it: "It is true that the Queen was enthroned. The Tong family is powerful, so we should reduce their power."

These words were a heavy blow to Soetu.

He suddenly understood that perhaps, the favored Thirteenth Prince was here to cover up the Imperial Noble Consort's faction behind him?

Thinking of the rumors that were replaced, Soetu felt that he understood everything.

The Emperor must have made up his mind to crown her as the Queen, but he didn't want too many people to focus on the Imperial Noble Consort and the Tong family, so he used the Thirteenth Prince as a shield to attract their attention.

No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not worried that the Thirteenth Prince was too favored. So this is the truth.

Soetu thought deeply. He looked at the instructions given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and soon came up with an idea.

Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want him to be in charge of the matter of enthroning the Queen, then he won't care, but the Tong family must be weakened.

As long as the Tong family cannot rise up, a sickly queen without her own children will not be a threat to their Crown Prince.

With his mind made up, Soetu quickly took action.

He didn't use his own power, he just picked on others to trick them.

The first to bear the brunt was his arch-enemy Nalan Mingzhu.

It would be much better to let others fight, he just needs a little guidance.

Anyway, we have fought many times before.

What he didn't know was that all his actions were taking place under Kangxi's nose and could not escape his sight.

It’s better to be in chaos. Only when there is chaos can he do what he wants to do.

*

In March of the 28th year of the Kangxi reign, the first and second branches of the Tong family started a quarrel.

The first branch of the Tong family is Tong Guogang's family, and the second branch is Tong Guowei's family. These two brothers, one practiced martial arts and became a general, and the other worked in the court. They had been at odds with each other for a long time, but they had never separated.

And now this quarrel has completely divided the family.

The cause of the incident was simply that Tong Guogang's rebellious eldest son Orondei and Tong Guowei's third son Longkodo had a quarrel.

The two of them were fighting fiercely. Longkodo, whose injuries had healed but whose mind was not clear, provoked Orondei, who had strong limbs and was rebellious by nature. He was bound to be severely beaten.

At first it was just a verbal dispute, with both sides saying a few unpleasant words, and then it turned into a fierce quarrel, and no one knew who started the fight first.

After alarming Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei, they naturally protected their son.

Tong Guowei loved Longkodo the most, and Longkodo had lost half his life in the beating by the eldest prince last time. Now seeing Longkodo being beaten, he became angry and anxious, and started to speak without thinking to Tong Guogang and Orondei.

Tong Guogang couldn't tolerate this. It was true that his relationship with Orondai and his son was strained, and it was also true that Orondai wanted him dead all the time. But he was also protective of his son, so how could he allow people to scold Orondai?

The two brothers began to quarrel, and later they even decided to separate the family business.

The sentence "He climbed to a high position with the help of the Imperial Noble Consort, and now wants to send a concubine's daughter to hinder the Imperial Noble Consort" made them hostile to each other on the spot.

"Family separation! We must separate families!"

When this matter reached the palace, Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei had already separated.

This shocked the Imperial Concubine and also puzzled the princes.

Just because of a few quarrels, you split up?

Tong Guogang also slapped Tong Guowei?

this ... ...

"Tell me the truth, second brother, is there any involvement of Soetu in this?"

The third prince Yinzhi immediately looked at Yinreng who looked calm and composed, and got his answer from his raised eyebrow.

"Sure, second brother, you are quite capable."

Yinreng was a little modest, "Not really, it's mainly because Nalan Mingzhu is very capable, and Suo Etu is just stirring up trouble."

He also speculated that Khan Ama might have been involved as well.

After all, it is his mother's family. Khan Ama does not want the Tong family to fall into decline, but he does not want the situation of "Tong half the court" to happen again, nor does he want to make his fourth brother embarrassed, so it is necessary to weaken the power of the Tong family.

It’s just that how to peel it requires some skill.

"What is Khan Ama going to do?" Yinzhi was very curious.

He studied the situation of the Tong family and speculated: "The Imperial Concubine is the daughter of Tong Guowei, and Tong Guowei's family is the most troublesome. Although Tong Guogang and Orondai are not very good, they are better than Tong Guowei. Is Khan Ama going to let Tong Guowei go?"

"Maybe." Yinreng nodded.

He remembered that Tong Guogang died on the battlefield in his previous life. If he had not died in this life, it would have been okay to let him lead the Tong family.

Compared to the short-sighted Tong Guowei, the brainless Tong Guogang is easier to control.

"And Orondai, he is a capable person who can kill his father. I believe that the future of the Tong family will be particularly interesting if they lead the family."

A few simple words determined the future of the Tong family.

What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say was that he had already sent someone to break Tong Guowei's legs.

How can you be an official if you have a lame leg?

Of course I have to resign.

As for who did it?

Who cares? It’s none of their royal business anyway.
