Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother
Chapter 256: Greedy
Afterwards, Prince Li Yunreng really took action!
Memorials impeaching Longkodo came one after another, most of which came from Prince Li’s former followers. The "Princelings" who had kept a low profile for more than a decade once again shocked the world.
Not only that, after suffering a heavy blow and finally regrouping, the Hesheli clan kept biting the Tonggiya clan tightly. However, within four or five days, a lot of secrets were exposed, and the Tonggiya clan members had a hard time in the court.
As for Prince Li Yunreng? He did not personally take part in the impeachment, but his son Hongxi openly took the lead in impeachment, and relatives such as the Guarjia clan also expressed their support in a tactful way. Even people from outside the Great Wall sent letters to the capital to inquire about how to deal with Longkodo.
Everyone in the court witnessed how strong the character of Prince Li Yunreng was, how outstanding his abilities and means were, and how he was so angry that he lost his temper twice.
Longkodo is doomed this time, and Tong Jia will be in trouble if she doesn't die! Everyone shook their heads and thought the same thing.
I just wonder if His Majesty will be particularly lenient? After all, there is still the favor of Empress Xiaoyiren!
Then the facts told them that not only did Emperor Yongzheng not show any special leniency, he even asked people from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to assist Prince Li in re-examining all the crimes committed by Longkodo, showing an attitude of being ruthless and impartial without showing any mercy.
An old man from the Tonggiya clan came to the palace to plead for mercy. Emperor Yongzheng saw him but refused to agree. He said, "I have been raised by Empress Xiaoyiren for several years. I cannot watch Longkodo make mistakes and tarnish Empress Xiaoyiren's reputation!"
What a joke! He finally had the chance to deal with Longkodo properly. How could he let go of this great opportunity?
But thinking of the past, he couldn't help but ask one more question, "Su Peisheng, is there anyone coming from Shoukang Palace?"
"Your Majesty, no one has come to Shoukang Palace, and the Empress Dowager is doing fine as usual. However, Prince Zhao's wife went to pay her respects yesterday, and the Empress also went once this morning. Apart from that, the Empress Dowager no longer sees outsiders." Knowing what His Majesty really wanted to ask, Su Peisheng added a little more.
"Really? Is that so?" Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief, then ordered, "Call Prince Zhao to see the emperor."
According to the news from the Sticking Rod Office, Longkodo's downfall seemed to be related to his eldest son. It was rare to see Honghui take action. How did Longkodo offend Honghui? Yinzhen was very curious.
"Tell me, how did Longkodo offend you?"
Honghui smiled faintly and replied calmly: "Some people are greedy and want to enjoy the glory of being a relative of the emperor again. They don't think about studying hard and making progress, but just think about it! I can't stand it, so I just cut off the fire from the bottom of the pot, so that those who cause trouble can't take care of themselves. Isn't it effective?"
"What? How dare Longkodo set his sights on you?" Yinzhen's face turned pale and blue, he was angry at one moment and secretly resentful at another!
Isn't it enough to have Empress Xiaokangzhang, Empress Xiaoyiren and Imperial Concubine Huangkao? Does Tong Jia want to keep the royal family in her hands?
"That's right. When the Emperor was alive, the Tonggiya clan was so glorious. When you came to the throne, although you had to take into account the contribution of Empress Xiaoyiren in raising you, the power and reputation of the Tonggiya clan was greatly reduced. When it came to the younger generation like me, there were no more Tonggiya women marrying into the royal family. Longkodo was a little anxious."
"Greedy, always wanting more! In last year's election, Longkodo was very active, but was rejected by me and the Empress Dowager. He wanted to target you."
Yinzhen felt that he was not a fool, nor a stupid person. He would never marry a woman from the Tonggiya clan who had produced two queens to his most proud son, nor would he marry her to any of his other sons. He thought that a member of the royal family was barely suitable, but now, he might as well give up the name and say out of sight, out of mind!
Speaking of the Tonggiya clan, he couldn't help but think of the Uya clan and the Ulanara clan, who were 50% similar to them!
The two clans were related and often shared the same blood, but the Empress Dowager and the Queen were very self-aware and did not cause trouble for him. They neither controlled the harem nor stuffed women from the two clans within the five degrees of mourning into the backyard of the next crown prince, thus ending the glory of the royal family and the foreign relatives in his generation.
This is the fundamental reason why he did not feel wary of the Queen!
"The Tonggiya clan is evil to its core. Once they tasted the benefits of using women to gain power, they couldn't stop. They've been jumping around all these years. Fortunately, they didn't give birth to one or two royal heirs, otherwise it wouldn't be my turn to sit on the throne!" Yinzhen couldn't help but have this thought, thinking that it was because the emperor saw the ambition of the Tonggiya clan that he didn't give any of the concubines of Tonggiya descent, even if they were princesses, a royal heir.
I knew that the situation would develop like this! Seeing the sharp eyes of the emperor, who was furious, Honghui couldn't help but comfort him, "Don't be angry, I acted cautiously and didn't give any chance to those with ulterior motives to take advantage of me.
Besides, I already have enough people in my backyard, so there is no need to take in new people, let alone beautiful girls from wealthy families! In some cases, if you pursue balance too much, it will backfire, but now it is good enough."
Ha! With just one wife and three concubines, the number of people serving them is already enough. Yinzhen twitched his mouth and once again sighed about his eldest son's "uniqueness". Then he knelt down and petitioned, "Your Highness, I beg you to agree not to introduce new people into the palace within ten years..."
"What? No, absolutely not!"
"Father Emperor, I really don't want to have so many people in the backyard. I don't have the energy or the heart to linger in the backyard. Please agree to my momentary willfulness! I think this is fine, and I want to emulate you."
To emulate me? Why not take concubines and have children like me? Is the eldest son learning from me how to be diligent in government affairs and not bothering to focus on the backyard?
Yinzhen secretly complained, then shook his head again, firmly rejecting his request, "No, ten years is too long, by then your wives and concubines will no longer be young, I am afraid that I will wrong you!
In this way, I can give you five years. During these five years, I will not appoint anyone new to the palace, but after five years, you must appoint at least one person. This is the maximum limit I can accept."
Honghui reluctantly accepted the result he had finally obtained: "Okay, I obey your command!"
"Okay, I will take care of Longkodo's matter. Go down first."
"Yes, I will retire."
After everyone left, Yinzhen immediately looked gloomy and frowned, which made Su Peisheng, who was waiting on the side, shudder.
"Tell the servants to tell Prince Li the truth and investigate this thoroughly for me!"
