Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

Chapter 164: Jointly Promote the Crown Prince

After the eighth day of November, the first winter snow of this year fell, bringing biting cold.

"Whoo~"

Honghui blew slightly, and white mist rose instantly. At this time, a north wind blew, and he couldn't help shivering.

"Brother, please go back for a while. It's freezing outside. You'll get cold." After the martial arts class, Zhao Quanshun came up with tea and snacks.

"Okay, let's go back to West Third House and change into clean clothes. It's getting late, so let's go back home early."

Although it was still cold, he had sweated a little in the martial arts class, and his body was sticky. If the cold wind blew on him, he might have caught a cold! Honghui was even more thankful that he had not taken off too much clothing, otherwise, he would have caught a cold from the alternating cold and heat!

In life, good health is the most important thing, and he has a deep understanding of this.

Thinking that he had not visited his mother and fourth brother for several days, he went to the Begonia Garden for a stroll after returning home, alternately offering earnest comfort and playing with them. He stayed there for half an hour before returning to the front yard.

It was already 6:15 in the afternoon, and it would be time for dinner in less than an hour.

Before dinner, Honghui went to the study first. He wanted to report to his father what had happened in the past few days.

Seeing that besides Father, there was also Mr. Dai in the study, Honghui took a quick glance and greeted him as if nothing had happened, "Son greets Father!"

After standing up, he nodded to Dai Duo to show his respect.

Dai Duo had always valued this eldest prince who was both a young master and a favorite student. Seeing this, his face showed even more satisfaction, and he bowed and returned the greeting.

After some pleasantries, the three of them gradually got down to business.

"Father, nothing major has happened in the study room these past three days, but many of the teachers are not focused on teaching and are acting mysteriously all day long. I think there must be something strange going on!"

Yinzhen was slightly startled, and immediately guessed the reason behind this matter: the establishment of a crown prince, the fight for the throne, and the eighth brother, huh!

"Don't worry about it. There have been constant calls for the re-establishment of the crown prince in the court these days, and someone is colluding with various places in the court!" As for who that person is, it is of course his good eighth brother who has been stripped of his title!

"Oh, I see." Honghui pretended to be enlightened, but in fact he knew Du Ming well about the inside story.

"There is no two suns in the sky, and no two rulers in a country. This man is so bold that he dares to do such a thing under the nose of the Queen Mother! The Queen Mother even knows that cousins ​​Hong Sheng and Hong Yu secretly had a fight outside the palace, so how could he not know? My son guesses that this man will be in trouble soon. After all, how can I allow others to snore beside my bed?"

These incisive words touched the hearts of Yinzhen and Dai Duo, and they both thought the same.

——The Eighth Prince is being too clever for his own good. He has committed serious taboos in every aspect and has touched the sore spot of His Majesty!

Yinzhen lowered his eyebrows and asked calmly, "Mr. Dai, do you have any opinion on the previous incident?"

Before Dai Duo could reply, Hong Hui's face immediately showed a hint of curiosity, as if asking, "Father, Mr. Dai, what are you talking about?"

There was nothing to hide from the eldest son. Moreover, since the eldest son turned six years old, although Yinzhen did not speak freely in front of him, he did not deliberately hide many secrets from him.

"During the past two morning court sessions, some ministers have successively submitted petitions to reinstate your second uncle, but your Majesty has not made any statement. As a result, during today's morning court session, Deputy Chief Censor Lao Zhibian was dismissed from his post and beaten with a stick in the court for recommending your second uncle..."

Dai Duo took over the conversation and said, "Big Brother, I wonder if you can see that the His Majesty's previous behavior was to pave the way for the reinstatement of the deposed Crown Prince?"

Honghui nodded. Not only he could see it, but most of the officials in the court could see it!

"My Lord, Big Brother, His Majesty is the ruler of a country after all. He cannot stand seeing his subordinates guessing his intentions. Besides, His Majesty may be afraid..."

"Shut up! What nonsense! How can you speculate about the Emperor at will?" Yinzhen's face showed obvious disbelief, but he knew in his heart that this might be the truth.

How could Dai Duo not see that Prince Beile was hypocritical? He had his own way of getting along with Prince Beile in harmony.

He bowed and stepped forward to apologize, saying earnestly, "I was rude, I hope Lord Beile will not blame me."

Yinzhen lifted it high and put it down gently. "Mr. Dai, it's good that you admit your mistake. I will forgive you this time! Tell me, what should I do next?"

Honghui secretly complained, "Of course, I will recommend the dethronement of the crown prince as usual! The emperor's intentions are clear, why don't you hurry up and show your support? And then there is the famous 'his mother is of low status, so he cannot be made a crown prince', you better not get involved!"

But he didn't say anything, because it made no difference whether he was there or not. Ama had made the right choice to ascend to power in his previous life.

Then Guo Jian Daiduo said, "My Lord, just behave as usual. You can't go against His Majesty's wishes."

Yinzhen made the decision without much hesitation, because what he had been following in the past few years was the Emperor's wishes, so he gradually became a caring and filial son in the eyes and heart of the Emperor.

As a result, just one day later, Kangxi suddenly announced in the court, "You Manchu and Han ministers can nominate one of the princes to be the crown prince. Except for Yinreng and Yinzhi, I will follow the public opinion of who to nominate!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar inside and outside the court. The forces of the princes began to move. In this freezing cold season, their hearts were burning with passion.

This is the first time that His Majesty has expressed his intention to re-elect a new crown prince, and he will be nominated by the court officials together. It depends on who has the more trust of the court officials!

Regardless of what others think, Yinsi really feels that the best time has come, and all the effort he has spent on maneuvering over the years has paid off.

Tong Guowei, Ma Qi, Alinga, Orondei, all the top nobles emerged, wandering around the capital, working tirelessly to jointly promote the prince.

Even Prince Cheng, who had never had much of a presence, began to take action. Within two days, he visited more than a dozen civil officials and also gathered a group of Hanlin scholars to cheer him on.

After so many actions, it didn't cause any waves!

As for Yin'er and Yin'e, they had just been beaten and were still in fear! Even if they hoped that the Eighth Prince would become the new crown prince, they did not dare to make any big moves.

In fact, Yinzhen wanted to contact the ministers in person, but was persuaded by Yin'e with these words - "Ninth brother, the emperor has given you an ultimatum, saying that if you dare to interfere again, all your businesses will be taken over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the national treasury, and you will not even be allowed to open a shop to sell the self-ringing clock you developed yourself! Think about it yourself, is the position of the crown prince of Eighth Brother more important, or is your hard work over the past few years more important?"

In the end, the title and business prevailed!
