While thinking like this, Yinzhen spoke quietly, "Since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you any more! But I noticed that you seem to have some complaints about your father recently, so please don't continue like this!

The Emperor is so wise, what can't he see? It was only because you didn't come to the palace to pay respects these days that we were able to hide it. Otherwise, what would the consequences be? Just imagine it yourself." If he could see some clues, how could the Emperor not see it?

Thirteenth brother, you are seeking your own death!

Yinxiang looked over in astonishment, and then his eyes wandered, and he explained guiltily: "Fourth brother, you are overthinking. I was just scared and couldn't recover for a while. Don't worry, I will be able to get over it in a few days."

That would be better! Yinzhen just made a slight nod and let it go, then turned to talk about another annoying thing, "You know everything, right? The movements of the fourteenth brother these days... Tsk!" It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was jumping up and down.

"Fourteenth brother is a little impatient. Maybe, he just wants to join in the fun. I'll teach him a few more lessons later and I'm sure he'll remember it..." Yinxiang became less and less confident as he spoke and he stopped talking halfway through his words.

"Oh! Just joining in the fun? He sees that the current situation is tense, so he wants to make a fool of himself, right? One moment he recommends his eldest brother who has no hope, the next moment he recommends his eighth brother, and the next he secretly tries to show off himself. In the past two days, he has been recommending everyone from the third brother one by one. He is like a troublemaker in the court!" Yinzhen was also criticized, but did he care about this recommendation?

Any recommendation at this time would be superfluous to him!

"Ah, stop saying that. It sounds weird." Shit stirrer! Can you think about this kind of scene any further?

Yinzhen and Yinxiang reacted at the same time, their throats tightened and they almost vomited.

Honghui also felt uncomfortable and quickly changed the subject, "Fourteenth Uncle has a simple personality and has no job, so it's normal for him to take this opportunity to show off! Father, just let him go. With Mama here, Fourteenth Uncle won't get into any big trouble."

But he still needs to be warned. I will go to the palace and talk to Mama, so that Fourteenth Uncle will not be used by someone with ulterior motives again!

……

September was a turbulent month, and October was even worse. Kangxi hadn't had a good night's sleep for many days.

Only after dealing with the eldest and the eighth brother, the calls for establishing a crown prince are growing louder and louder. Eighth brother, huh!

Although the Eighth Brother lost his title, the court officials seemed to be blind. More and more people recommended him, including officials from the six ministries, officials from the Imperial Study, nobles, and so on. All of them came forward.

It’s only been a few days since Yinreng was deposed, and more than half of the people have recommended the Eighth Prince!

He was treacherous by nature, harboring great ambitions, forming a clique for personal gain, and even watched Yinreng being assassinated. All these things touched Kangxi's sore spot.

In front of others, he was still the wise and benevolent monarch who planned and strategized, but behind others, his brows were never relaxed.

"Li Dequan, keep a close eye on the previous dynasty's movements!"

The Eighth Brother's followers are coming in with such force that the manpower of the other sons combined cannot even match a fraction of his!

The third brother had only the Hanlin scholars and civil servants behind him, so he could not achieve anything great; the fourth brother was quite sensible, and he just hid back in his house. He would never go to the palace to show his courtesy unless he was summoned, and he also declined all visits from court officials. There were really few people who recommended him in the previous dynasty.

Only Old Fourteen mentioned it briefly, but his words kept changing, so you can't take them seriously!

The fifth, seventh and twelfth brothers were skipped. The ninth brother was completely focused on business affairs. He made a lot of money for the national treasury and private treasury, but he was still involved with the eighth brother. It was really a cause for worry. The tenth brother actually followed the ninth brother in making trouble and even dared to get involved in the fight for the throne. For the sake of Empress Xiaozhaoren and Concubine Wenxi, he will be severely punished later!

The Thirteenth Prince was devoted to studying with his Fourth Brother, and he hid back in the mansion early so as not to cause any trouble to his father, the Emperor. But it is really hard to know what to say about the Fourteenth Prince.

Old Fourteen was always jumping up and down, talking nonsense, and recommended everyone from the eldest brother to himself! To say that he had great ambitions was to flatter him, and to say that he had no ambitions was something that even a fool could see was absolutely impossible.

The Fourteenth Prince does have some ambitions for the throne, but he's not very smart!

And Yinreng, Yinreng, was he bullied in Xian'an Palace? Did he admit his fault? It was freezing cold, was he cold? Was his illness cured? ...

On that rainy and windy night, Kangxi suffered from insomnia again.

Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. The next day, another bad thing happened.

On October 15, Prince Cheng Yinzhi came forward to denounce Prince Zhi Yinzhi and the Mongolian Lama Bahangelung for conspiring to behead the deposed Crown Prince Yinreng.

As soon as these words came out, Kangxi slammed the table and stood up, "Li Dequan, pass on my oral order, and order the imperial guards to search all places in Yuqing Palace and find out for me whether this is true or not!"

Then, a lot of lucky charms were found in the Yuqing Palace where the deposed crown prince lived. At the same time, the guards also found instruments that controlled these lucky charms in the Prince of Zhi's mansion, and caught the prince red-handed in one fell swoop!

On the same day, Prince Yinzhi of Zhi was imprisoned in the clan house, and the Mongolian Lama Bahangelung and other people involved in the case were all imprisoned for trial. At the same time, news came out that the deposed crown prince was bewitched by the eldest prince.

Kangxi said to the public: "Yinreng is actually possessed by a demon, and he is prone to madness and illness. I have ordered the imperial physician to treat him, and you are not allowed to discuss this further."

Who wouldn't know what His Majesty was thinking? The deposed Crown Prince Yinreng now had hope of being reinstated!

Within two days, the matter of the dethronement of the Crown Prince in Yanzhen was thoroughly investigated, and it was found that Prince Yinzhi of Zhi did have a tainted background.

According to the custom of this dynasty, the princes, royal family members, court officials and nobles who committed crimes had to be discussed and judged in the court, and Yinzhi was no exception.

No matter how powerful he was before, no matter how influential the eldest prince's followers were, they could not resist the crowd's attack! For a while, some said that he should be imprisoned, some said that he should be stripped of his title, and some said that he should be killed. Those who said that they should be killed were the remnants of the deposed prince's followers. Others did not dare to say this to offend His Majesty.

The crime had not yet been decided, and a "horrifying" incident occurred in the palace!

It is said that Prince Zhi's biological mother, the current Concubine Hui, knelt before the emperor for a long time and asked for the execution of her son, and her attitude was quite firm.

When this incident happened, people with eyes knew that Prince Zhi's life was saved, and the only thing left to do was to strip him of his title and imprison him.

Then, in late October and early November, His Majesty really issued an edict, "Remove Yinzhi's title of Prince and confine him in the mansion, and order eight guards of the Eight Banners, eight guards, and eighty guards to strictly guard Yinzhi's mansion, and there must be no mistakes!"

In just two months, the once powerful eldest prince and the crown prince all fell into disgrace. It is truly a pity!
