Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

A few days after returning from outside, the court's affairs returned to their previous rhythm.

Nowadays, people in the court often criticize the crown prince, and what they talk about are nothing more than matters of character and ability.

Although Kangxi was dissatisfied with the Crown Prince in many ways, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to deal with him.

He just appeased the ministers who had submitted their reports one moment, and ordered the Crown Prince and the three masters to reprimand them the next.

The punishment was not severe and over time, the ministers seemed to sense the emperor's attitude from Kangxi's attitude, and the number of impeachment memorials gradually decreased.

However, on this day, the lights in Yinreng's house were on all night, as if he was waiting for something.

Bang, bang, bang. After the back door was knocked three times, a gap was secretly opened.

The man was dressed in black, with sweat on his hair, and looked exhausted. He walked straight into Yinreng's room.

-------------------

Three days later, a memorial reappeared on the desk of Emperor Kangxi.

"Asshole!" Kangxi only took one look and yelled in anger, throwing the memorial to the ground and saying, "Go and summon Nalan Xingde to the palace immediately, without delay!"

When San Dezi arrived at the mansion, Nalan Xingde was sitting in the front hall in court robes. He looked neatly dressed and sitting upright, as if he had known that he would be summoned.

After taking a deep look at Nalan Xingde, San Dezi said nothing. After reading the imperial edict, he just asked politely as usual: "My lord, please get ready. I will be waiting outside your house."

"No need!" Nalan Xingde took two steps at a time and was about to rush out of the door. When he saw that he was about to walk in front of San Dezi, he stepped back two steps embarrassedly and said, "I am worried that Your Majesty will wait for a long time, so I am anxious. Please go first, eunuch."

"It's okay, sir, please." Sandezi smiled faintly.

On the second day, an imperial decree was issued from the palace, stating that there was no need to attend court today. The ministers returned home with suspicion in their hearts. Emperor Kangxi had always been diligent, and except for the days when he was not in the capital, he rarely missed court without a reason.

While everyone was still guessing, three imperial edicts were issued from the palace in the evening:

The first step was to seize all the private property of Etu’s family and put it into the national treasury.

The second was to execute Soetu's two sons, Gelfin and Aerjishan, and bring them back to the capital to be beheaded in public. The rest of the tribesmen were exiled or made slaves or maids.

The third step is to investigate all of Soetu’s students and old friends. If anyone is found to have had private contact with Gelfin or Aljishan in the past year, they will be strictly investigated and severely punished.

----------------------

Three imperial edicts were issued in quick succession, causing great shock in the capital.

Emperor Kangxi has always had a reputation for being kind and friendly. Except for the time when he deposed Oboi when he was young, he never showed such thundering wrath when he later deposed the Three Feudatories and suppressed Mingzhu's party.

I originally thought that driving the Soetu clan out of the capital a few days ago was a very drastic move, but I didn't expect that they would take such a cruel approach now.

The charges were soon made public:

After leaving Beijing, Gelfin and Aljishan had contact with local officials many times. They blackmailed people by relying on their ancestors' military achievements, complained about the court, and even wore the yellow jackets bestowed by the emperor in the past and paraded through the city, attracting the attention of the people.

The emperor was furious and the whole court was in panic. Everyone was worried and at the same time, they were all wondering whether there was any deeper meaning behind the complete extermination of the Soltu clan.

Crown Prince Yinreng had been asking for an audience with Emperor Kangxi at the door for three days, but he was never allowed to do so.

Only San Dezi came out and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "My Lord, the Emperor is very angry now. Please go back first. When the Emperor calms down, he will come to see you naturally."

"When the emperor's anger subsides, my two cousins ​​will be dead. What's the point of the emperor seeing me again?"

After crawling on his knees for two steps, Yinreng shouted anxiously: "Father, Father, please, for the sake of the Empress Dowager, please spare the two cousins. They are the Empress Dowager's nephews!"

Kangxi was standing by the window in the room and heard Yinreng's words clearly.

This good-for-nothing actually has the nerve to mention his Empress Mother?

When his royal mother was alive, she always put her husband first in everything. Unlike Yinreng now, he only has his two rebellious cousins ​​in his heart. How could he still remember his royal father?

Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but miss Empress Hesheli. If she were still alive, she would definitely understand his good intentions.

His heart was filled with war, disaster, and the people. All that he was doing now was not only for the stability of the government, but also for the prince to have no worries about being bullied by Old Chen in the future!

Think about it, when he first ascended the throne, how much effort did he put into pacifying those powerful old ministers?

Yinreng is now a few years older than when he met Oboi, but to be fair, his intelligence is far inferior to his own back then. He is not even the best among his brothers.

"Oh!" Kangxi let out a long sigh. Was it because he, as the emperor's father, had not done enough that his son became so mediocre? If Empress Hesheli knew about this, she would wonder if she would blame him.

----------------------

For half a month, Yinreng came to ask for an audience with Kangxi, but Kangxi always avoided him. Until Gelfin and Aljishan were beheaded, Kangxi issued another imperial edict: Crown Prince Yinreng understands my heart and visits me often, so I specially reward him with a thousand taels of silver to set an example.

When Sandezi saw the imperial edict, he swallowed hard: I have to say, Emperor Kangxi was sometimes quite crazy.

This imperial edict also left the other princes a little confused.

Some time ago, almost all the adult princes felt Kangxi's dissatisfaction with Yinreng.

Now, Soltu's two sons have committed crimes again, and they are waiting to see Kangxi alienate the prince again.

Especially when they heard that the prince had been asking to see Kangxi for many days but had never met him, many people were secretly delighted.

However, what exactly is going on with Emperor Kangxi's sudden change of direction? !

When Yinzhen told Yixiu about this, he couldn't help but complain: "Xiaoyi, do you think the emperor is getting old and confused and can't even tell whether it's a reward or a punishment?"

"What did the Fourth Master say?" Yi Xiu reminded.

"Hey, that's not what I meant, but tell me, what does the Emperor mean by this?"

Yinzhen did not deliberately hide his desire to seize the throne from Yixiu.

He knew that with Yixiu's intelligence, she would be able to see what he was thinking these days.

"In this case, I should congratulate the Fourth Master." Yixiu's words puzzled Yinzhen: "The Emperor is still rewarding the Crown Prince at this time, and you still want to congratulate me?"

Yi Xiu explained, "If the prince was rewarded for his meritorious service, it would be worth our concern. But now, the emperor has clearly dealt with the prince's mother's family, but instead only rewarded the prince. Fourth Master, think about why this is the case?"

"You mean..." Yinzhen only thought about it for a moment before he realized, "The Emperor's words seem to be a reward, but in fact they are a warning?"

Yixiu nodded: "I'm afraid the Emperor is reminding the Crown Prince of everything that is happening right now."
