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

After the crown prince was deposed again, Yinsi once again came into the public eye.

On the surface, the only one who is still qualified to be the crown prince is Yinsi.

Although he had been reprimanded by the emperor before, the emperor did not punish him severely, so he must still have a chance.

The Eighth Master Party rose up again.

They had failed to assassinate Honghui before and were worried for a while.

There were also some opinions within the group at this time.

If they had known that there would be a day when the crown prince would be deposed for the second time, why did they attack Honghui at that time?

There is an extra enemy out of nowhere.

However, after many days, Yinzhen did not cause any trouble for Yinsi, so he must have thought that all the assassins were dead.

Although there were some movements in the court, they were all normal and did not arouse anyone's vigilance.

However, after the crown prince was deposed last time, everyone learned their lesson this time and did not make any noise right away.

The entire court was at peace for two months.

The ninth prince Yinzhen went to see Yinsi privately.

"My dear brother, now that my second brother has been abolished again, it is a good time for you to rise up."

Yinzhen looked at Yinsi with eager eyes.

"This is our chance."

"Myna, be brave and seize the throne. I support you."

Yinzhen's mother, Concubine Yi, was the most favored concubine of Emperor Kangxi, and the power of the Nalan family was also considerable.

Previously, the Nalan family supported the eldest brother Yinzhi, but now they are all under the control of Yinzhen.

"I am now...Yin'er, what if I say that I have no thoughts about the throne now?"

"My dear brother!" Yinzhen said in a tone of regret, "You are confused."

"It has come to this, the throne is right before your eyes, if you say you won't fight for it now, will that justify your previous efforts?"

After hearing what Yin'er said, Yinsi felt a little guilty towards Yinzhen.

After he told the same thing to Yinzhen, Yinzhen immediately expressed his support.

It was Yinzhen who dissuaded him from doing stupid things several times before.

He looked at Yinzhen, who was full of anger.

Suddenly I had an idea.

Did his ninth brother support him because he thought he was suitable to be the emperor, or because of his own merit in following the emperor?

Once upon a time, Yinsi would have no hesitation in thinking that this was his personal charm.

He has a close relationship with Yinzhen, so he will naturally support him no matter what he does.

But looking at the ninth brother's expression now, it is clear that he does not support him just because he, the eighth brother, is suitable to be the emperor.

But he needs a mynah bird to be emperor.

From this perspective, Yinzhen had thought it through thoroughly. From the very beginning, the fourth brother always supported the people that the emperor valued.

In other words, the fourth brother always supported the orthodoxy. No matter what the second brother's behavior was, he was always loyal to the emperor.

Yinsi tried to persuade Yinlu again.

"The throne is not within easy reach. Who to appoint as the crown prince is something that the emperor needs to consider. It may be a better choice for us to cultivate our own virtues and wait and see what happens."

"Eighth brother, I think you have been too close to Fourth Brother recently, and have learned his words about loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety. Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has been all about the power in hand. What use are those virtues and the favor and trust of the emperor?"

Yinsi did not expect that Yinlang would say such a thing.

"Don't say such things again. My second brother has only been deposed for two months, and I'm already jumping up and down. Are you really not dissatisfied with being the emperor?"

"I have my own rhythm, don't disrupt it."

The two broke up unhappy.

Yinsi sighed slightly.

The best outcome now is that these people can really succeed.

If he still fails, he will inevitably end up being abandoned, just like his eldest brother.

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

The reason why the crown prince was deposed this time was because they really had no father-son relationship anymore, but Emperor Kangxi was also clear about the character of the remaining son.

With the experience of deposing a crown prince, the court was now much quieter than last time.

None of his sons took any action, so Emperor Kangxi should have felt a little disappointed despite being relieved.

So when a minister came to the emperor's memorial to establish a crown prince, Emperor Kangxi was cheered up.

This time he was not testing who still had rebellious intentions, but he was really considering whether there was a suitable son to inherit the throne.

Establishing a crown prince would help stabilize the court, and most of Emperor Kangxi's sons were now adults and could take charge of their own affairs.

Unexpectedly, the person who requested to establish a crown prince this time was only the Eighth Brother.

Emperor Kangxi even doubted whether the throne was still popular.

Alinga, Orondei, Nalan Kuixu and Wang Hongxu submitted memorials one after another.

Emperor Kangxi remembered that Nalan Kuixu was the boss's man.

Unexpectedly, after the boss fell, this man was actually recruited by Yinsi.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Daoran, Beile Sunu, He Yuzhu and others also submitted a petition requesting that Yinsi be named the crown prince.

Emperor Kangxi began to feel a little flustered again.

If there were only a few ministers in the court who believed that Prince Eight could ascend to the throne, he would still think about these things carefully.

But if dozens of important ministers thought that the Eighth Prince was worthy of being the crown prince, he would inevitably be suspicious.

When the crown prince was deposed, there were not so many people pleading for mercy. Even if there were some who pleaded for mercy, they were just small minions who did not hold important positions.

Could it be that Lao Ba already had the intention to rebel and promised these ministers high positions and generous salaries, so they supported him so much?

Emperor Kangxi originally wanted to take action, but he planned to wait and see for a while.

Maybe more people will jump out later.

Soon, Longkodo, Nian Gengyao, Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi, Li Wei, Tian Wenjing and others, at the instruction of Yinzhen, also began to request that Yinsi be named the crown prince.

What is "overpraising to death"? This is "overpraising to death".

After Yixiu got the news, she immediately guessed who was responsible for the assassination of Honghui.

However, based on Yixiu's understanding of Yinsi, this matter should not have been done by Yinsi, but probably by his subordinates.

Although Yinsi wanted the throne and would use all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, he would never harm a child.

Yinzhen obviously thought of this, so he did not treat Yinsi in a more cruel way.

But this was enough to make Yinsi suffer.

As for Yinsi coming to his house, Yinzhen simply refused to see him. It was obvious that Yinsi sensed something was wrong.

Perhaps it was his subordinates who did it.

Before Yinsi could react, the decree to abolish his title came down.

A young son who is very popular among the people is a huge threat in the eyes of the elderly emperor.

However, compared to the eldest brother, Emperor Kangxi's treatment of him was not as harsh. He only stripped him of his title and did not put him under house arrest.

I think suggesting the execution of the prince is a more serious crime than forming a clique for personal gain.

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

Only after the matter was over did Yinzhen go to see Yinsi in his mansion.

"Laoba."

Yinsi looked at his fourth brother with lifeless eyes, and then he became excited, "Fourth brother, why do you treat me like this?"

His eyes were red.

"Did you know that Honghui went on a study tour a while ago and came back after only five days?"

Yinsi was a little confused about Yinzhen's sudden mention of this.

"I know, but what does this have to do with asking for the title of Crown Prince?"

"You didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of you. I know that the assassination of Honghui was not ordered by you, but after all, those people did it for you. They thought that my persuasion of you hindered you from becoming the emperor, so they attacked Honghui to warn me."

Yinsi's pupils trembled violently.

"Fourth brother, I know nothing about this!"

"I definitely didn't send anyone to kill Honghui." Yinsi hurriedly defended, "He is my nephew, how could I be so cruel to him? Besides, this is a fight between us, what does it have to do with the children? Whether the emperor appoints a prince or not is not decided by the emperor's grandson."

"I know it wasn't you who did it, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you today."

Yinzhen sighed, then said to Yinsi: "You have gathered so many people, you must have the ability to control them."

Yinsi smiled bitterly.

"Maybe I've always been too conceited."

"I'm sorry, Fourth Brother, about Honghui's matter..."

"Honghui is fine, you don't have to worry about it, but I came here to say hello to you. I will definitely not let go of anyone who attacked Honghui."

Yinsi smiled bitterly, "I know I don't have the face to ask Fourth Brother for something, but I still want to try."

"There are many ministers following me. They are devoted to the Qing Dynasty. Sometimes they may think about personal gain, but..."

"I would like to ask Fourth Brother to spare their lives."

Yinzhen: "This is not too much."

"I promise you."

Soon, under Yinzhen's manipulation, the people who killed Honghui were dismissed from their posts, investigated and exiled to the frontier.

Emperor Kangxi did not deal with those ministers. He was already quite old and had lost the desire to deal with them.

It would be better to leave this matter to his successor.

Deal with those old ministers, and then support your own forces to come to power.

However, there are a few young people who deserve promotion.

Although Nian Gengyao also asked for the title of the Eighth Prince, Emperor Kangxi was deeply impressed by this person.

It was he who provided logistical support for Yinzhen last year. Emperor Kangxi intended to train him, so he ordered Nian Gengyao to be the governor of Sichuan.

However, several of Yinzhen's men were demoted one after another.

Yinzhen was indignant.

Why did the Emperor only deal with his people but not his fourth brother’s people?

He felt that things had been really bad for him recently.

He supported Myna, but Myna himself had no achievements at all and also caused the loss of many of his people.

When he entered the palace to pay his respects to Concubine Yi, he couldn't help but feel some of these emotions.

"Mother, I supported my brother so much, but he failed me."

Concubine Yi looked at her son and felt quite disappointed with him.

"I've told you long ago that instead of supporting Lao Ba to take the top position, it's better for you to work hard on your own."

"You are my son. You have the support of the entire Nalan family. I am favored by your royal father. Compared with other princes, you are much better than them."

When Yinzhen heard Concubine Yi say this, he was moved. His mother was right. Instead of following Big Brother, he might as well try his best.

In the past, he felt that he was inferior to the starling in every way and had no chance of ascending to the throne.

Now that the starling has fallen, he can give it a try.

The third and fifth brothers are not the type who like to fight. Ever since the fall of the eldest and second brothers, they have completely lost all ideas and are only willing to be an idle prince.

The Thirteenth and Fourteenth Brothers were very young. The Thirteenth Brother would just follow the Fourth Brother all day long. The Fourteenth Brother no longer had any chance after he became a general.

Fourth brother doesn’t seem to have any ideas now, and Concubine De is not as favored as Concubine Yi.

Here, Concubine Yi can whisper in the emperor's ear, but the emperor will definitely not listen to what Concubine De says.

When you think about it this way, his advantage is indeed huge.

"My brother has lost his ambition to succeed the throne and has given up completely. This opportunity really belongs to me."

Concubine Yi looked at him with relief.

Over the years, she has been trying every means to pave the way for him, but he has never appreciated it and has always insisted on supporting Yinsi.

Now her son has finally come to his senses, and all the ways she has paved for him are not in vain.

She looked out at the sky.

Defei, Shufei...

You will eventually be trampled under my feet.

I am the future queen mother.

In the spring of the 47th year of the Kangxi reign, Yixiu's daughter Yongjia was over one year old and could already walk unsteadily.

Although Rouze's son Hongxuan is about the same age as Yongjia, he has some congenital deficiencies and still cannot walk.

Because Concubine De wanted to see her two grandchildren, Rouze was also released.

The two sisters brought their children into the palace. Defei liked Yongjia very much. Although Hongxuan had an unreliable mother, he was still a very pitiful little boy.

Defei couldn't help but say a few words to Rouze.

"You are now the mother of two children, you should be more prudent. If you keep the fourth child under house arrest every now and then, how will others view the two children? They will think they have a mother who doesn't follow the rules."

What Defei said was very serious.

Rouze's eyes suddenly turned red.

She vaguely remembered that when she was at her mother's home, her aunt loved her the most.

It has changed now.

"Mother, I know now. I was too young before, so I made many mistakes. Now I have learned a lot and will never make the same mistake again."

Defei glanced at Rouze and said, "What do you mean young? If I remember correctly, you are already thirty years old this year. Some women of your age are already grandmothers."

"Don't use age as an excuse in the future. When Yixiu was younger than you, she was much more dignified and steady than you."

Rou Ze: ...

I actually lost face in front of Yixiu today! Rouze's face turned red and white, and he clenched his fists.

Hongxuan sat there babbling, and seemed to have sensed that something was wrong between the adults. His mouth pursed as if he was about to cry.

After all, Defei was soft-hearted towards the child. She reached out to hug the child, but unexpectedly, Hongxuan burst into tears, twisted and crawled to the side, not wanting Defei to touch him.

Rouze's face changed drastically, and she scolded Hongxuan, "Don't cry, let your grandmother hold you!"

Hearing her harsh tone, Concubine De frowned, "Hongxuan is just a child, why do you have to scold him like that? It's normal for him to be shy, quickly ask the wet nurse to coax him."

After Hongxuan was carried out, Yongjia staggered to Concubine De and stretched out his chubby little hand, "Grandmother...Grandmother."
