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

After thanking him, Su Peisheng held the last decree of the day in his hands and read it out: "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that the eldest son of the Emperor, Honghui, is both virtuous and talented... He is now conferred the title of Prince Zhao. I decree this!"

Gone? Just gone?

Before everyone could recall how favored this newly minted Prince Zhao was, Prince Zhao Honghui himself had already stepped forward to express his gratitude, "I kneel to thank the Emperor for his grace."

This time Yinzhen did not remain silent: "Stand up, I only hope that you will assist me in handling government affairs in the future, work diligently and live up to my expectations."

After a few decrees were issued, today's coronation ceremony was drawing to a close. When Su Peisheng shouted "Your Majesty, please ascend the throne", everyone knelt down to see him off. "Your Majesty, we respectfully send you off. Long live the emperor!"

Afterwards, Yinzhen changed into a light, bright yellow casual suit and went to the Qianqing Palace again to pay a visit to the retired Emperor Kangxi.

"My son, I would like to send my regards to Emperor Ama."

"Coming? Sit down."

After a while, the father and son sat on the couch separately, and Li Dequan came in personally and brought a pot of tea.

Kangxi drank a few sips of wine and then asked, "Did the coronation ceremony go smoothly?"

Yinzhen was still respectful and reserved: "Everything is going well. No one is making trouble at this time. Don't worry."

"I have always been confident in your work, so I don't ask too many questions! But Fourth Brother, you are a little too generous. The eldest and second brothers have just been promoted to titles, so let's forget about the seventh and ninth brothers. The tenth, thirteenth, and fourteenth brothers can just be princes. The titles you have bestowed are so great that even I, your own father, cannot bear to see it."

Having said that, Kangxi was actually very satisfied in his heart, because this meant that after he passed away, his sons would have no worries about having a way out.

Yinzhen knew this very well, and this was the fundamental reason why he was so generous.

"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. As the elder brothers, you should not let your elder and second brothers down. My tenth brother's mother's family is the Niuhulu clan, and he has the face of the Empress Dowager. Besides, my tenth brother is still useful in the Ministry of Works, so what if he is awarded the title of prince?

As for my thirteenth and fourteenth brothers, one is not afraid of hardship or dirt, and follows me to grow high-yield crops, while the other quells the Tibetan rebellion and is about to defeat Junggar and Tsewang Arabtan. How can I not reward them generously?"

Yinxiang had always been following him and was loyal to him, and Yinzhen was his brother. Even if he would not show favor to others, he would definitely show favor to these two.

"Well, now that you have made your decision, I will not interfere." Kangxi said these two words lightly, and at the end he seemed to remember something and asked, "I heard that you did not posthumously confer a title on the deceased Ulanara?"

Yinzhen immediately lowered his eyebrows and eyes, pursed his lips, and after a long time he stammered, "Father Emperor..."

"Alright, how could I not know what you were thinking? Ulanara was not worthy of being the prince's wife, let alone the queen of a country, the mother of the country. I am not unaware of what happened in those years! If you don't want to posthumously confer the title of queen, then don't confer it. Your wife is worthy of being the first queen, but outsiders don't know the details of Ulanara, so you still have to confer a title posthumously to get rid of the matter."

"Yes, I know it in my heart."

Kangxi: "Since you have ascended the throne as the new emperor, the reign title should also be changed and announced to the world along with the imperial edict of succession."

How can that be possible? The emperor is still on the throne!

Yinzhen's face immediately showed some resistance, but Kangxi stopped him before he could speak. "It's settled. I will move to Tangshan Palace in a few days, and the concubines in the harem will move to Changchun Garden first. After I leave, they will be allowed to move out of the palace and live in their sons' houses. You will be the master of the Forbidden City in the future!"

"Father, this is absolutely unacceptable. Did I do something wrong? How could you abandon me so coldly?..."

Why are you so indecisive? Kangxi glanced at him and said, "I abdicated to recuperate. Changchun Garden is not as good as Tangshan Palace. I can't stay here for long. Don't persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind."

Yinzhen could not persuade him any more and had to nod in agreement. However, he was still worried and ordered nearly half of the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau to accompany him.

As for the fact that only the eldest son Honghui among the new emperor's princes was awarded the title, Kangxi never mentioned it from beginning to end, and Yinzhen never explained it. This was their unspoken consensus and not worth bringing up again!

……

On February 11, Yixiu and a group of maids and servants from the main courtyard hurriedly moved into Chengqian Palace, which had been uninhabited since Empress Xiaoyiren passed away.

Within ten days, all the places in the palace were vacated. The emperor's concubines moved into Changchun Garden one after another, and the empress moved to Ningshou Palace. As for Yonghe Palace, where she had lived for more than 40 years, it was sealed by Yinzhen because of its too obvious meaning, and he did not allow his concubines to live there anymore.

At the end of February, the reign was changed to Yongzheng, which was the first year of Yongzheng.

In early March, after Yixiu was officially canonized, the concubines of Emperor Yongzheng Yinzhen were finally canonized!

Among them, the concubine Nian was named Hua Fei and lived in Yikun Palace; the concubine Qi was named Duan Fei and lived in Chuxiu Palace; the concubine Li was named Qi Fei and lived in Changchun Palace; the princess Geng was named Yu Fei and lived in Jingyang Palace; the princess Feng was named Jing Fei and lived in Xianfu Palace;

Princess Fei was renamed Lipin and moved into Qixiang Palace; Princess Song was renamed Maopin and moved into Zhongcui Palace; Princess Lu was renamed Xinguiren and moved into the east hall of Changchun Palace; Princess Cao was renamed Caoguiren and moved into the west hall of Qixiang Palace; Princess Fang was renamed Fangguiren and moved into the east hall of Chuxiu Palace.

In addition, the wife of Prince Yong, Ulanara, was posthumously named Consort Rou and buried in the concubine's tomb.

The new emperor's concubines were busy moving into the palace, and no one expressed any complaints openly. The previous dynasty did make a few fuss, and some people who were not clear-headed submitted several memorials regarding the posthumous title of Prince Yong's wife, but they were all rejected by Yinzhen with the response "Such nonsense, I am too lazy to even keep it."

After a busy month and a half, by the end of March, the court and the harem had finally regained a bit of peace.

Honghui was fine, as he was not conferred the title of crown prince. He was merely transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Personnel, in charge of official transfers. However, Yinzhen and Yixiu, the couple, were really busy for nearly two months.

Yixiu was too busy because the harem had a new master and it took time to adjust, and she also had to clean up the unstable old people. As for Yinzhen, he asked for it!

In fact, the government affairs of the court should not have been so busy, and they had been in charge since the end of last year. But Yinzhen seemed to be full of energy and personally took care of all matters, big and small, and seemed to have a tendency to sleep at three o'clock in the morning and get up at five o'clock.

How could Honghui tolerate such a situation?
