Prince of the Qing Dynasty

The story of Ling Pu quickly spread inside and outside the palace.When Yinzhen first heard about this matter, he didn't come to find Yinreng right away. He went to investigate first and then came to Yinreng again.

"Second Brother," Yin Zhen also looked worried about this matter, "I went to check, and I couldn't find anything from the casino where Ling Pu borrowed money. The rest of the place is even the slightest clue. From the point of view of the whole matter, it seems that Ling Pu gambled and borrowed debts and ran out of money, and had nothing to do with others. Oh, by the way, and the people around Ling Pu and I, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, are also very concerned. Checked, nothing out of the ordinary."

Yinzhen said, "Second brother, either Ling Pu did this himself and has nothing to do with anyone else; or, someone deliberately set up a trick to lure Ling Pu into the game to frame second brother. Myself I think the latter is more likely."

"Ling Pu himself wouldn't do such a thing, I know his temperament, he wouldn't dare,"

Yinfeng said, "It can only be that someone set up a trick to lure Ling Pu into causing trouble. You can't find anything. Doesn't that prove it? There is no abnormality, but the biggest abnormality."

Seeing that there was no one around, Yinfeng said again, "Didn't you say last time that someone secretly investigated the eldest brother's affairs? They also had doubts, thinking that the eldest brother would not plot to assassinate me for no reason, but in the end, Didn’t they find anything? It’s nothing but doubts. So, if we can wipe out the traces, can’t they? I’m in the middle of the game, and that’s exactly what they want.”

Yinzhen heard Yinreng mentioned them many times, and said: "Second brother said they, did second brother guess who did this?"

"If you want to say who it is, in fact, you and I know very well in our hearts. Besides those few people, who else can it be? In fact, I should have thought of it a long time ago. When the elder brother had an accident, Mingzhu was so quiet. He must have a mature plan. Planning, unfortunately, my mind is limited, and I really can't worry about those," Yinfeng said, "But now it's not important to find out who set up this game, the most important thing is how to get out."

Yinzhen heard the words and said: "Now the case is still under trial, Huang Ama sent someone who is not ours, I am afraid that they will beat Ling Pu into a trick and confirm the second brother's suspicion, then it will be difficult Yes. Second brother, what are you going to do? Do you need my help?"

"As long as I have something, you'd better not show up or help me. I have told you this principle before. At this time, you should keep a bystander attitude and stay close to me. Don't interfere. This matter, otherwise, will definitely arouse Huang Ama's suspicion, thinking that our brothers are forming a gang, "

Yinfeng said, "As for Ling Pu, I already have a countermeasure in mind. Fourth brother, even in the worst time, I believe I can deal with it. Don't worry."

Yinfeng doesn't want Yinzhen to intervene, Yinzhen knows the stakes involved, and only pays attention to this matter in private. After coming to Yuqing Palace this time, he will not live in the future again, and he has truly done what Yinfeng asked him not to go far not close.

However, the matter of Ling Pu has not been settled, instead it is noisy again.

When Ling Pu was interrogated, he couldn't stand the torture, and he shouted the words of the crown prince to save me during the torture, which made the theory that he took the blame for Yin Reng more convincing. Everyone said that Ling Pu was short of money because Yin Reng Feng embezzled the 30 taels of silver for himself, and now that the Dongchuang incident was revealed, he asked Ling Pu to come out and take the blame.

Yinfeng's suspicion was also taken as a guess during the interrogation of Ling Pu, but Ling Pu categorically denied it.However, only a few days after Ling Pu's trial, Ling Pu died of a hunger strike in prison, leaving only a suicide note.It was written in the suicide note that the shortfall of money and money was all his fault, and he was willing to apologize with death, but this matter has nothing to do with the crown prince.

After Ling Pu's death, the money deficit case could no longer be investigated. The suicide note and Ling Pu's initial confession were sent to Kangxi by the head of the Ministry of Punishment, and Kangxi had to decide in the end.

Ling Pu's death was unexpected by Yinfeng. Even Shi Shi didn't understand why Ling Pu died on a hunger strike. She asked Yinfeng: "When Ling Pu died, he said that he was willing to die by himself. Apologize, and don't implicate the crown prince. He also said that you have treated him well, and he can't repay you in case. He can only prove your innocence by death. I only hope that his death can offset the case of money deficit. Said Come to think of it, Ling Pu is also loyal. But Yinfeng, what if Huang Ama doesn't think so? If someone says in front of Huang Ama that Ling Pu committed suicide in fear of crime, then Ling Pu died in vain!"

Yinfeng didn't answer Shi Shi's words, he still called Ling Pu a fool in his heart.Ling Pu died on a hunger strike, not only would not let him separate the relationship, but it would be self-defeating, making everyone think that he died because of his own persecution, and in the end it would definitely turn out that Ling Pu committed suicide in fear of crime.

However, after Yinreng thought for a while, he suddenly realized that Ling Pu's motives were not only what Shi said.Ling Pu has another layer of motives, probably unknown to outsiders.

At the beginning, only Ling Pu knew about Yinreng's settlement of Suo'etu, and Ling Pu sent someone to handle it.What Yinfeng said to Ling Pu was that after Suo'etu was killed, he would not be implicated, and only by killing Suo'etu could Kangxi's trust in him be restored.Ling Pu, an idiot, probably thinks that his current affairs can only be settled after his death.Ling Pu probably thought that as long as he died like Suo'etu, Yinfeng would not be implicated.

But this Ling Pu didn't know how to think about it. If he died, wouldn't it mean that there was no evidence to prove his death, and he hit the opponent's heart, leaving Yinfeng with nowhere to go?

Soon, Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to invite Yinfeng to pass.Yinfeng knew that this trip might be unpredictable, so he avoided Liang Jiugong and told Shi Shi not to act rashly, even if something happened, she should calm down and not panic, and wait to see the situation first.

Yinfeng knew that he said these words to Shi Shi, and Shi Shi was nervous, but he couldn't do it without telling him.Although he has a countermeasure in his mind, but this countermeasure is a dangerous move by soldiers, if something happens, Shi Shi may not be able to resist it.Moreover, in his plan, what is needed is a calm and prudent Crown Princess, he will not be chaotic, and he also hopes that Shi Shi will not be chaotic.

Liang Jiugong didn't have much time left for him, and he couldn't say anything to Shi, so he went directly to Kangxi.

Kangxi saw that Yinreng was coming, and saw that he greeted him, but he didn't ask him to get up, but asked in a deep voice: "Yinreng, I ask you, how have I treated you these years?"

Yinfeng replied: "Huang Ama's kindness to my son and minister is as great as a mountain. Huang Ama's prestige is so important, in the eyes of my son, he is the emperor's father. My son has always been very grateful to Huang Ama for her cultivation and trust in her son."

"However, you failed my trust, and also failed my debt to you!"

Kangxi said, "I ask you, why did you instruct Ling Pu to embezzle so much money from the internal treasury? Where did you use all this money?"

Yinfeng lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"If you don't tell me, I know that the money you want to use is nothing more than your own extravagance or to form a party. I see that you don't have extravagance in your daily life. I think you use it to make friends with ministers. No wonder they all say I misread you!"

Kangxi said, "At the beginning, I allowed Lingpu to be the head of the House of Internal Affairs because I was afraid that you would be wronged. I didn't expect you to take advantage of my trust and do such treasonous things. Yinfeng, you really let me down." Already!"

"Huang Ama said that his ministers embezzled money from the internal treasury. Is there any evidence?"

Yinfeng raised his eyes and looked at Kangxi and said, "Ling Pu's embezzlement of the treasury's money is well-founded. However, Huang Ama said that the money was embezzled by my minister, and this crime cannot be accepted by my minister. If you haven’t done this, please ask Huang Ama to learn from you.”

"Evidence? At this point, do we still need evidence?"

Kangxi sneered and said, "Ling Pu committed suicide in fear of crime. Which one of his confession and suicide note pointed to you? Without your instigation, would he dare to embezzle such a large sum of money? I have eyes, and this matter is obvious. Here, there is no need for evidence at all. You said that you did not do this, so why did Ling Pu die? Do you dare to say that you didn't know anything about it in advance?"

"It turns out that Huang Ama has already been broken by the Holy Spirit."

After all, what Kangxi said meant that he didn't believe him.Kangxi didn't believe he hadn't done it.It seems that their game was really successful, and it really pushed Yinreng to a dead end.

Yinfeng raised his eyes and looked at Kangxi firmly: "Huang Ama, I don't understand what you said. I only know that I didn't do this, and I didn't instigate Ling Pu to embezzle the money from the internal treasury. As for My son didn't know about Ling Pu's death beforehand, and my son only found out about it just now."

"You didn't know beforehand?"

Kangxi laughed angrily when he heard Yinreng's words, and said, "Yinreng, do you think I really don't know anything? Back when you asked Ling Pu to go to Jiesuoertu, you thought I really didn't know? What's the difference between this time and that time? You were afraid that Ling Pu would tell you about you, so you used the same method to finish him off, so that there would be no evidence for this matter! I knew your tricks, but I just pretended not to know That’s all! Whenever someone endangers you, don’t you get rid of them and hurry up!”

Yinfeng was not particularly surprised that Kangxi knew that he was the one who got rid of Suo'etu.If Kangxi wanted to investigate, this matter could still be found out.

Yinfeng just didn't expect that in Kangxi's eyes, these two things were regarded as the same.

"Huang Ama doesn't believe in my son, and I have nothing to say, but I still want to explain,"

After a long pause, Yinfeng still decided to continue, "Huang Ama, you know in your heart as well as your minister that Suo'etu must be eliminated. Because his existence will endanger the relationship between Huang Ama and your minister. Because of Suo'etu's certain behaviors, Huang Ama became jealous of his son, and only when his son got rid of Suo'etu himself would he gain Huang Ama's trust in his son, so the son was willing to do it. But Ling Pu is different. You can imagine, Huang Ama, if Ling Pu died, and there is no evidence for this matter, wouldn't my minister be unable to argue? Wouldn't this confirm the suspicion that my minister let Ling Pu take the blame? If I want to get away, I should let Ling Pu live, only if Ling Pu is alive can I be freed from the suspicion of my son, and my son can be innocent, right?"

It shouldn't have been said if it touched taboo like this.Although the father and son knew it well, they never talked about it in these years.Just because the topic of trust is too sensitive, if you can not mention it, don't mention it.

But at this moment Yinfeng felt that if he avoided talking about it, it would be more unclear, so he might as well say everything he wanted to say in order to make it clear.

Yinfeng's words were too straightforward, and it really angered Kangxi.

He glared at Yinfeng with anger in his eyes: "You said I was jealous of you? If you hadn't followed Suo'etu to do those outrageous things, how could I have done this? It is clear that you were disloyal and disrespectful to me first, and I have suppressed it for many years , and have tolerated you for many years, yet you say that I suspect you?!"

From Kangxi's point of view, instead of being grateful for his years of tolerance, Yinreng also bluntly accused him of falling into Yinreng's unrighteous situation, which was simply intolerable for Kangxi.

"Huang Ama, back then in the tomb of Huang Erniang, you said that the only person you trusted was my son. Do you know what my son felt? At that time, my son believed in Huang Ama very much, and secretly I swear that I will never lie to Huang Ama in this life, let alone be disrespectful to Huang Ama, and will not do anything rebellious to Huang Ama. What Suo Etu did, my son has never been tempted, and even more Never participated, but you wholeheartedly believe that the son participated in the things he planned, "

Compared with the angry Kangxi, Yinfeng's expression was calmer and calmer. He said slowly, "Huang Ama, do you know why? It's because you don't trust Erchen in your heart. Even if you said that, but You have never forgotten in your heart that my son is the crown prince, and you are the emperor. Since ancient times, there have been few happy endings between emperors and crown princes. Although my son really wants to believe your words, I can't, because The son is very scared. This is probably the most secret insecurity in the hearts of Huang Ama and the son."

Having said that, Yinfeng smiled slightly, and then said, "However, my son and Huang Ama were not like this from the beginning. In the first few years, Huang Ama really loved my son, and my son loved Huang's love." Ama is also sincerely respectful. However, power confuses people, and Huang Ama no longer trusts my son, so my son can't trust Huang Ama. In fact, Huang Ama, do you believe that my son really I don't have the slightest trust in power, and everything I do is for self-protection and to prevent others from hurting myself. This crown prince was given by Huang Ama, and my ministers have never valued it, and dare not look at it too heavy."

He held these words in his heart for several years and never mentioned them in front of Kangxi, because he knew that once he said them, there would be serious consequences.It's just that today, he didn't want to hide any more, some things had to be said when it was time to say them, so he vomited quickly.

"You mean, you don't care about the crown prince at all?"

Kangxi was furious when he heard these words from Yinreng. In his opinion, these words from Yinreng were even more rebellious than what he did with Suo'etu. It is worth mentioning that how could Kangxi endure such a contemptuous attitude?

He couldn't accept Yinreng, who had always been calm and prudent, to say such a thing!Even if Yinfeng embezzled 30 taels of money, it would be more acceptable to him than this!

"Yes, I don't value the position of crown prince. To me, the relationship between myself and Huang Ama is more important. If I have to say how I feel about being the crown prince, it is, With the position of the crown prince, the power is too heavy, and the responsibility is also heavy, but when you are blinded by the desire for power, you ignore the responsibility."

Yinfeng saw that Kangxi was so angry that his eyes were red, but he couldn't stop talking. Once some things started, no matter how difficult it was, he had to go on. He looked at Kangxi and said word by word, "And you all value this too much. The crown prince. Not only you, Huang Ama, but also brothers and ministers, everyone is staring at the crown prince. The position of crown prince is the position of power. Who doesn’t want it? As for those who are thinking in their hearts This thought, Huang Ama is wise and holy, so naturally there is no need for my ministers to speak out."

"Okay, I don't care about it!"

Kangxi sneered angrily, "Since you don't value this crown prince, then I will depose you and fulfill your wish!"
