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

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year.

The political situation has been turbulent this year. The crown prince was deposed, imprisoned, and stripped of his title. Three princes have suffered in succession. His Majesty is in a depressed mood. The New Year in the palace has been too boring!

The Fourth Prince's mansion was decorated with lights and celebrated a new year in a lively atmosphere, but the house next door was deserted and almost deserted, which was in stark contrast to previous years.

Starting from the second day of the first lunar month, Honghui went from house to house to wish all his uncles a happy new year, from Yuqing Palace to Prince Cheng's Mansion, to the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion, and also to those little uncles in the upper study, going around in a circle.

When he saw his second uncle, he almost didn't recognize him. Although he was still the same person, his spirit was completely different from before, and his eyes were quite sinister. Only when he looked at him, the junior, did he show a hint of gentleness.

"Fourth brother, you are a good person. Thirteenth brother is also okay, but he is scared and timid all day long. You should persuade them..." Although the third brother accidentally brought down the eldest brother, he still has ambitions in his heart. Only the fourth brother and the thirteenth brother are planning to restore the throne!

Yinzhen said a few perfunctorily to help Yinxiang out of the predicament, then turned around and persuaded him: "Although you have decided to give in, you can't withdraw so hastily. After all, my second brother is different from before." The confidence that he had built up as the crown prince for more than 30 years disappeared in just over three months. It was really sad!

As for how Yinxiang withdrew himself, that is a story for later, so let’s not discuss it here.

After the 20th day of the first lunar month, Kangxi summoned Manchu and Han ministers to investigate the matter of recommending the eighth prince Yinsi as the crown prince. In the end, Fu Cha Ma Qi, who was not the mastermind, was imprisoned.

Tong Guowei was also implicated at the same time, but since he was the emperor's uncle, he was given special pardon and was only relieved of all his duties. His end was not as miserable as Fu Cha and Ma Qi's.

After all the ups and downs in the public election of the crown prince, in the end, only the two so-called "masterminds" were dealt with, and the rest of the people were not punished. Even the protagonist of the day, the eighth prince Yinsi, had his title restored. It is really sad.

At least Honghui has thoroughly experienced the so-called "politics" and "balance". There is no right or wrong in officialdom, only stance.

However, one of these two people signed a treaty that resulted in the loss of territory, and the other had close relations with Empress Xiaoyiren and Longkodo. They deserved the punishment they suffered!

The various experiences of the past three hundred years told him that every inch of our territory must be fought for, and whoever loses the territory will be a sinner of the Qing Dynasty!

Speaking of losing territory, Honghui immediately thought of the Treaty of Nerchinsk, which was an armistice agreement signed between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia twenty years ago. Although they had won the battle, they lost large tracts of territory at the hands of Soetu and Tong Guogang, which made him extremely angry.

Now both of them have passed away and the accounts are settled, but the resentment in his heart will never subside.

Honghui said to himself: "If I get the chance in this lifetime, I will definitely recover every inch of the lost territory of the Qing Dynasty!" As for Fucha Maqi, he will not die yet, and his family will have glory in the future, so his life can be said to have a good beginning and a good end.

Sure enough, not long after, Fu Cha Ma Qi was found to have been falsely accused and was eventually released from prison.

Just over a month later, Kangxi announced it to the ancestral temple and issued an edict to the whole country, formally reinstating the deposed crown prince.

Although Yinreng was restored to the throne one day, he was not very happy because the emperor father once again conferred titles on his princes, and from the third to the fourteenth, all of them had titles!

——Prince Cheng Yinzhi was promoted to Prince Cheng, the fourth prince Yinzhen was promoted to Prince Yong, the fifth prince Yinqi was promoted to Prince Heng, the seventh prince Yinyou was promoted to Prince Chun, the tenth prince Yin'e was given the title of Prince Dun, the ninth prince Yin'er was given the title of Duolo Beile, the twelfth prince Yinzhen, the thirteenth prince Yinxiang, and the fourteenth prince Yinzhen were all given the title of Gushan Beile.

When this decree was issued, the two people who were happiest were Yinzhen and Yin'er.

Yinzhen skipped two levels in a row, being promoted directly from a small Duroberle to Prince Yong. Not only did he have countless bannermen and servants under his command, but he was also visibly increasingly valued by Kangxi, and his prestige grew for a time.

Yinzhen was even more excited than his fourth brother. As his fifth brother was promoted to prince first, he originally thought that he would only be given the title of Gushan Beizi, but he did not expect that he would start as Duolo Beile, which directly widened the gap between him and his younger brothers.

As for the tenth brother Yin'e, he was an exception. He was born into a prominent family, the Niuhuru clan, so it was natural for him to be granted the title of Prince of Dun. You can't envy him enough!

Therefore, when the princes were conferred titles in March, except for the eldest prince who had been imprisoned and the eighth prince who had not been promoted, the rest were all happy and everyone gained something.

However, amidst the joy, there was an undercurrent. Between the increasingly insecure crown prince and the powerful princes, a struggle hidden beneath the ripples emerged.

However, these struggles were no longer brought to the surface, but hidden in secret. After all, the lessons of the past forty-seven years were there, and no prince dared to touch the Emperor's beard.

At the end of April, when Mulan went on the Autumn Hunt, the emperor left the capital, taking the crown prince and the eighth prince with him. The capital suddenly became peaceful and tranquil.

The Emperor ordered Prince Yong Yinzhen and Prince Heng Yinqi to assist in managing the affairs of the capital. Neither of them was a meddlesome person and they always discussed everything together. This way, they did not shirk their responsibilities and had a lot more free time.

But Yinzhen was not at ease. He wanted to quit his job that day. However, the emperor took away all the princes who could handle the affairs of the capital. He could not expect his ninth, tenth and twelfth brothers to take his place, right?

Let it go this time, there must not be a next time, otherwise as time goes on, hiding one’s capabilities under a bushel will only lead to loneliness!

……

Early June, Yonghe Palace

"Grandson greets Mama." Honghui had just finished his martial arts class. Although he had changed into clean clothes, the sweat on his body had not disappeared much.

Seeing the beads of sweat on her eldest grandson's forehead, Concubine De felt very distressed and hurriedly ordered, "Zhu Xi, go get the chilled mung bean soup and give it to the eldest prince."

Only after watching him finish the bowl of mung bean soup did she continue, "Why don't you wait until the sun sets before coming back? The sun is shining brightly now. If you get a heat stroke, wouldn't that make me, your father, and your mother worried?"

Honghui smiled brightly, revealing his white millet teeth. He had replaced his teeth last year.

"Don't worry, Mama. My grandson is healthy and I have some medical skills. If I really feel uncomfortable, why would I force myself? Mama, you seem to have lost a lot of weight, is it because of the hot summer?"

De Fei disagreed with this. "If you feel unwell, just ask your servants to call the imperial physician. You have only studied medicine for a few years and you have not yet understood the various diseases. You are still too young! As for the bitter summer, it is a common thing. Don't take it to heart."
