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

Chapter 166: My Mother's Family is Humble

That afternoon, news that the Fourteenth Prince and the Fourth Prince had parted ways on bad terms reached the ears of someone with ulterior motives.

All of a sudden, countless people breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the vigilance that had arisen from nowhere in their hearts.

For example, the eighth prince Yinsi said to Guo Luoluo with a sense of relief: "The royal power is noble and can seduce people's hearts. Even if they are brothers from the same mother, they still can't resist the temptation of the throne."

Guo Luoluo smiled sweetly and replied, "Isn't this a relief for you? However, whether the Fourth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince have a falling out will not affect the overall situation. Even if they are together, they cannot match your power in the court! Yinsi, I am waiting for you to fight back so that I can also sit on the position of Crown Princess."

"The court officials and nobles have been contacted. I'll have to trouble my wife to take care of Prince An's Mansion and the Zhenglan Banner. Yinsi is very grateful!" His ninth and tenth brothers are becoming more and more unreliable. The only one he can rely on is his wife, who will share his success and failure.

All the previous barriers disappeared, and the couple worked together especially hard for the position of crown prince.

……

The two turbulent days passed quickly.

Kangxi had seen everything that had happened in the capital and the palace in the past two days! Which son was honest, which son was restless, and which son was filial and caring, what couldn't he see?

The honest, filial and considerate ones deserve praise, but as for those who jump around, they even dared to contact court officials to discuss privately. They are so bold, have great ambitions, and have evil intentions. Ha!

Kangxi was determined to put a damper on the arrogance of this daring man.

"Pass down the order, and have the Manchu and Han officials gather in Changchun Garden tomorrow to discuss and recommend a new crown prince."

On the 14th day, all the court officials, princes and royal family members gathered in Changchun Garden. Almost all the officials and nobles in Beijing came.

Afterwards, in front of Kangxi, Manchu and Han ministers unanimously recommended the eighth prince Yinsi as the crown prince, and completely ignored Yinreng, whom he had been thinking about all the time.

"Do you all unanimously recommend Yinsi as the new crown prince? Are there any who recommend the second prince Yinreng?"

All the Manchu and Han ministers were speechless for a moment and remained silent.

"Okay, just because you don't say anything doesn't mean I don't know. Let me tell you, the people who recommended Yinreng are the Fourth Prince Yinzhen and the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang. Yinzhen, tell me, what do you think?"

Yinzhen had already prepared a draft, just waiting for the emperor to ask questions. Upon hearing this, he immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think my second brother is both civil and military, respectful and virtuous, and proficient in government affairs. He is a role model for all the princes. Apart from him, who else can take on the position of the new crown prince? Moreover, my second brother's mania has been cured. All the previous things were caused by someone's murder. I dare to ask your Majesty to make a decision for my second brother!"

Before Kangxi could reply, Orondai jumped out and said, "Fourth Prince, is there something wrong with your eyes? He dares to beat up even nobles and royal family members. Haven't you been kicked once?..."

Kangxi was originally somewhat happy, but upon hearing this, he immediately became angry and said, "Olundei, shut up! I haven't even tried to accuse you yet! Tell me, what did you, Alinga, Kuixu, and Wang Hongxu do in private? Do you want me to expose your faces right here and now?"

Colluding with each other and passing information secretly is a blatant clique for personal gain!

"I admire the talent of the Eighth Prince. He is very capable and has great reputation in the court. He also has an easy-going temperament and is known as the Eighth Wise King. I prefer him to be the new crown prince." Orondei has always been fearless, so how could he be afraid of these words?

Kangxi was so angry that he laughed: "Okay, okay, try to make up your mind again? A gentleman does not form a party, and a villain does not form a group. That joint memorial is clear evidence! I think I am too kind. Do you want me to punish you for forming a party for personal gain?"

The people who were called out immediately knelt down, and at the same time, Yinsi also knelt on the ground.

"Father, please forgive them this time. I am willing to withdraw now..."

Kangxi was furious. He said, "I'm the good guy and you're the bad guy, right?"

"I heard that everyone calls you the Eighth Wise King. You are indeed wise! Orondai and others formed a clique to recommend you, and you also rushed to plead for them. I now understand why so many people in the court are cheering for you! Yinsi, Yinsi, even Tong Guowei and Ma Qi have submitted memorials to recommend you. You are the Eighth Wise King. I am really enlightened by your performance!"

Yinsi's heart sank, and he suddenly realized that he had made a bad move. The emperor was not buying it at all.

"Father, please forgive me..."

"What kind of sin do I forgive? Eighth Wise Prince, you are not guilty, so how could you be guilty? I am the one who is guilty, blame me for not explaining it clearly to you! I absolutely do not agree with the Eighth Prince that you recommended." Kangxi said firmly.

"Long live the Lord..."

Without waiting for the courtier to continue, Kangxi hardened his heart and used increasingly sharp words, "The Eighth Prince has never done anything wrong and has recently been convicted of a crime. Moreover, his mother's family is also very humble. How can he be the new crown prince?"

The mother's family is humble? When you favored my mother in the past, why didn't you despise her humble origin? When my mother got pregnant and gave birth to a child, why didn't you send this prince with a humble mother away?

Yinsi looked at his royal father as if struck by lightning. All thoughts had gone away, and he even had a confused feeling that he had no idea what year it was.

Fighting for the throne, huh! When did he become so disliked by the Emperor? A few years ago, the Emperor treated him with great respect, and his favor was even higher than that of his fourth brother, but now he is in such a situation!

“Father Emperor, please take back what you said, myna…” “Father Emperor, please calm down…”

Yinzhen and Yin'e knelt on the ground one after another, begging for mercy.

Kangxi stared at his two sons with sharp eyes and scolded them harshly: "Shut up, Yin'e, Yin'e, I have just warned you not to get involved in the fight for the throne!

I have seen all your little actions these days, but I think you haven't crossed that line, so I will turn a blind eye and let you two go this time. What, are you dissatisfied with my decision now, and want to be treated the same as Yinsi?"

Yinzhen wanted to continue begging for mercy, but Yin'e pulled him back with all his might, and then the two of them retreated again.

Seeing that no one was coming out to cause trouble, Kangxi went through the whole process.

"Yinzhen, Yinxiang, your actions are very comforting to me!"

The two brothers said in unison: "We, your sons, will always remember the teachings of our Emperor Father."

A political meeting to elect a crown prince ended in such an anticlimactic way! Except for the eighth prince Yinsi, everyone present was not a loser, but they were all losers. The general trend was that the second prince Yinreng would be restored to the throne in no time!

Sure enough, just one day later, Kangxi released the deposed crown prince from Xian'an Palace on the pretext that he had dreamed of Empress Xiaozhuangwen and Empress Xiaochengren being depressed.
