Prince of the Qing Dynasty

Before Yinreng could answer, Yinzhen asked again: "Second brother, why did Huang Ama tell you and Master Suo these words?"

Yinfeng never planned to tell Yinzhen these things, but today, under Yinzhen's repeated questioning, his heart loosened.

After all, some things have been hidden in my heart for a long time. It is really uncomfortable for one person to bear too much. The feeling of having no one to tell is actually very bad.In recent years, it is not that no one has tried to ask him, hoping to know the truth and the inside story, but they are all people who are not suitable for talking about these things.

Now, Yinzhen's questioning made Yinreng discover that Yinzhen is actually a very suitable candidate.

After a moment of silence, Yinfeng chose to be honest: "Because Suo'etu has put a lot of pressure on Huang Ama in the past few years. He has done a lot of things to force Huang Ama to abdicate and let me. Huang Ama has never It has been publicly stated, but in the past few years, many things have been done to suppress Suo'etu. This time, the public praise of Fulata, that is, the Pearl series, also means this."

What Yinzhen said made Yinzhen's eyes widen in surprise, and it took a long time to react. Yinzhen didn't speak immediately, but waited for himself to calm down before asking: "Second brother, you asked Suo'etu to do this. Is it? Or did Suoetu make his own claim?"

"I didn't ask him to do this, it was his own idea, but," Yinfeng paused, and then said, "He probably thought that I acquiesced in him doing this, and coupled with Huang Ama's tolerance, he would It’s getting worse and worse.”

"Why didn't you stop him?" Yinzhen was a little anxious after hearing this, "Second brother, if you don't show your attitude to Huang Ama, Huang Ama will suspect you too! The most urgent thing is that you should be with Huang Ama Suo'etu draws a clear line, no matter whether Huang Ama will deal with Suo'etu or not, you can't let Huang Ama think that these things that Suo'etu did were all ordered by you!"

In fact, when Yinzhen heard what Yinreng said, and then thought of what Huang Ama said, he felt more and more that Huang Ama had doubts about his second brother.

Yinfeng laughed after hearing this: "Do you think if Suo'etu doesn't listen to me and insists on doing it, can I stop it?"

Suo'etu was not his slave, and he couldn't force him to do so. If he could force him to stop him, he wouldn't have to be so restrained.

"If you can't stop it, then you can draw a clear line. At least, let Huang Ama know that these are Suo'etu's own ideas, and have nothing to do with you, second brother." Yinzhen can understand Yinfeng's words Meaning, so after thinking about it, he said again, "Second brother, what did Suo'etu do to persecute Huang Ama? Can you tell me?"

Regarding Yinzhen's words, Yinreng just smiled, and then said: "Many things about Suo'etu were done in secret, and some of them were not even told to me. I know all about the power in Ma's hands. It didn't happen overnight, but rather, little by little, little by little, over the years. I don't know if Huang Ama knows everything, but I speculate Huang Ama should know all about it."

"If you want to talk about the things that make Huang Ama feel the most unhappy, there are probably two things, one is done openly, and the other is done secretly," Yinfeng said, "In the 14th year of Kangxi, after I was established as the prince, The guard of honor for the crown prince set by Suo'etu is almost the same as that of Huang Ama. At that time, Huang Ama approved it. But the fourth brother, do you think he will always approve it? This is Suo'etu's temptation, but Huang Ama Ma didn't say to change it, so who can change it?"

At that time, Kangxi approved it, and it has been used to this day. Now someone proposes that this is unreasonable, and it will definitely offend Yinfeng and Suo'etu. No one is willing to take this risk.What's more, under the circumstances that everyone didn't know the inside story, what everyone saw was Kangxi's love for the prince, who would dare to touch this bad head and mention this to Kangxi?

"The second thing is that when Huang Ama fell ill in Boluohetun in the 29th year of Kangxi, Suo Etu made two preparations. On the one hand, he sent medicine to Huang Ama, and on the other hand, he even ordered his housekeeper to take care of him. The dragon robe is prepared to let me ascend the throne if something happens to Huang Ama," Yin Reng pursed his lips and said, "I don't know if Huang Ama knows about this, but I think Huang Ama should know, but I also I didn’t tell him. Later, Huang Ama recovered, and according to Suo’etu, he had destroyed all the forbidden objects.”

Yinzhen stared at Yinreng, unable to comprehend such a big matter Yinreng could still say in such a calm tone: "Second brother, why didn't you tell Huang Ama? Don't you believe Huang Ama? If you haven't done these things, you shouldn't let Huang Ama misunderstand you like this!"

Yinfeng didn't answer, just looked at Yinzhen silently.

Yinzhen and Yinreng looked at each other for a while, then suddenly realized, and frowned, "Second brother, don't you believe Huang Ama?"

Although Yinreng didn't answer, Yinzhen saw the answer from his eyes. He could clearly see that Yinreng's eyes were clearly full of distrust towards Huang Ama.

This is also the first time in so many years that Yinzhen can clearly see clear likes and dislikes in Yinreng's eyes.Yinzhen understands that this is what Yinreng wants him to see, if Yinreng is not willing, he will never know what Yinreng's thoughts are.

"Second brother, why don't you believe Huang Ama?" Yinzhen paused, and then asked, "Is it because of what Li Jiashi said? Actually, I have always wanted to ask, second brother, you have worked so hard to cultivate her over the years." Power, let the courtiers see your excellence, is it because you took Li Jiashi's words seriously? Do you believe the crazy things she said, and think that one day Huang Ama will abolish you?"

"Second brother, you know that Huang Ama attaches great importance to you, and you are the most beloved son. Now it's just a little bit of suspicion. If you make things clear to Huang Ama, I believe Huang Ama will understand you. Second brother, isn't Huang Ama worthy of your dependence and making decisions for you?"

"The prince can be abandoned immediately, fourth brother, don't you think it's insecure to pin your hopes on someone who may change his mind at any time?"

Yinfeng said, "Fourth brother, we have been brothers for so many years, I can tell you the truth. I also want to believe in Huang Ama, but he is an emperor first, and our Ama second. You can carefully Think about it, which one of the crown princes in the past dynasties ended well? Most of the endings are miserable. I admit that I don’t believe that Huang Ama is my fault, but I have unavoidable difficulties. I really have no way to trust him. You have to know that he has the power to abolish me and even kill me. Just thinking about this kind of power makes people feel scared."

"In these years, since I was sensible, I have always cared about Huang Ama's heart, and I have always hoped to win Huang Ama's trust. In order to satisfy Huang Ama, I am willing to do anything and endure any hardships. , However, this does not mean that it is foolproof. I have been working hard and following the rules for so many years, and Huang Ama has seen it all. If Huang Ama really trusts me, he will not doubt me because of these things that Soetu has done. These This matter has nothing to do with me. If he believes this and doubts me without confronting me, can this be absolute trust? Fourth brother, do you think that Huang Ama and I can really have absolute trust? Maybe? It used to be possible, but I will grow up one day, and he will grow old one day. How can there be no rift between the emperor and the prince? Not to mention, there are those who have ulterior motives Everything has been provoked."

Yinfeng said slowly: "Perhaps, Huang Ama didn't think about this when I was established as the prince. It is a good thing to establish a prince to rectify the foundation of the country, but the unfavorable influence and situation brought about by the establishment of a prince I think Huang Ama has slowly been able to realize it. And I am in the position, and I know how warm and cold I am, and no one knows the stakes and stakes better than me, the crown prince."

"Second brother, it turns out that you have always thought so clearly, then you did this deliberately to win Huang Ama's trust in you, so don't you have any sincerity towards Huang Ama?"

Yinzhen said cautiously, "All these years, I also know that Huang Ama treats you very differently from us brothers. I think Huang Ama really loves my second brother."

"If I didn't have the sincerity for Huang Ama, when the empress dowager passed away, why would I have to guard Huang Ama and the empress dowager to make myself sick? Over the years, I have asked myself that I have a clear conscience for Huang Ama, the prince. I have done everything that should be done, and I have done everything that the prince does not have to do."

Yinfeng lowered his eyes, and after a long silence, he said, "If I have no sincerity towards Huang Ama, I don't have to worry about these things now, so why should I tell you?"

When people get along with each other for a long time, there will always be feelings.He grew up with Kangxi almost day and night all these years, plus he never knew what it was like to be educated by his father in his life, and as the crown prince in this life, he has received Kangxi's full attention, how could he have no affection for Kangxi?

As a father, Kangxi is indeed very conscientious, and he has never relaxed his education in all aspects.Without Kangxi, he would never have been able to grow so well.Therefore, he himself is actually very contradictory. On the one hand, he has the feeling of a son for his father towards Kangxi; on the other hand, he is guarded and vigilant towards Kangxi. His feelings towards Kangxi are very complicated.

"Fourth brother, I admit that it is selfish for me not to tell Huang Ama what Suo'etu did,"

Yinfeng said, "As a son, I shouldn't hide it from him, but as the crown prince, I have to hide it from him. Because I don't trust Huang Ama, on the contrary, I even trust Suoetu more. Because Suoetu has nothing but Besides gaining power, the person he values ​​the most is me, the crown prince, but Huang Ama is different. The most important thing in his heart is the country of the Qing Dynasty, and his power and status to dominate the country. If someone endangers this One point, even if it is my own son, I think he will abolish it without hesitation. From this point of view, I can't lose Suo'etu's support for me. Even if Huang Ama has become suspicious, I can't have Any action. Even if I don't want to join forces with him, and I don't want to support his actions, I will not expose him to Huang Ama. Because I can't destroy him, at least, I can't let him be destroyed in my hands If you must punish Suo'etu, you can only let Huang Ama do it yourself."

"Second brother, as you said, then your situation is extremely passive," Yinzhen said, "If there is no Suo'etu, there will be other courtiers supporting you, why must Suo'etu be? Second brother, Over the years, you should have accumulated a lot of people, right? Can't these people replace Suo'etu?"
