Prince of the Qing Dynasty

Yinreng was detained in the Shangsi courtyard, and the only people he saw were Yinqi and Yinyou.But Yinqi and Yinyou kept their duty. In the past few months, they never said a word to him, nor did they talk to Yinrong about the situation outside.

But on this day, Yinfeng met a person who would never appear in the detention center of Shangsi Courtyard—Shi Shi.

"Yuheng? How did you come here?"

When Yinreng saw Shishi, he found that Shishi was much thinner. When he saw him, Shishi's eyes turned red, and Yinreng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. His eyes were slightly red, and he got up and hugged Shishi into his arms. Hugs to dissolve months of lovesickness.

"I was very worried about you. I wanted to ask Huang Ama to let me come to see you immediately, but the emperor's grandmother advised me not to be impatient, so I waited until now,"

Shi's eyes were red and said, "I'm coming back to see you, it's "the emperor's grandmother went to tell Huang Ama for me, Huang Ama felt sorry for the emperor's grandmother, so she agreed, so I can come in to see you." "

During the past few months, Shi Shi was restless in Yuqing Palace.Since Yinreng was abolished, she has not been able to communicate with Yinreng. She is worried and worried, and the degree of anxiety cannot be understood without personal experience.But now seeing Yinfeng, Shi's heart just let go a little bit.However, seeing Yinreng's current appearance, she felt sad again. Since Yinreng was established as the crown prince when he was one year old, how has he ever suffered such hardship and lived in such a place?

Shi had doubts in her heart since the day when Yinreng was abolished. Now that she saw Yinreng, she didn't have time to tell her worries and worries about Yinreng in the past few days. Well, everything is fine in Yuqing Palace, and then she directly asked Yinreng the question she had kept in her heart for a long time.

"Yinfeng, what exactly did you say to Huang Ama that day? Why did Huang Ama get so angry that he insisted on abolishing you?" Like Yinzhen, Shi Shi also had deep doubts about this matter, completely confused. I don't understand why Yinfeng wanted to anger Kangxi.Because in their cognition, Yinreng would never go against Kangxi, so they preconceived that Yinreng must have provoked Kangxi on purpose. As for why, they can only ask Yinreng himself.

Shi Shi asked Yinreng, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Actually, I didn't say anything else," Yinfeng said with a slight smile, "I just said something that should have been told to Huang Ama long ago. It can be regarded as an end to a problem I have accumulated for many years."

Yinfeng smiled and recounted the scene of that day to Shi Shi.

After Shi Shi heard this, he frowned and said: "How can you say such things to Huang Ama? Are you not afraid that Huang Ama will be angry? No wonder it is so. Your words are poking Huang Ama's heart "Yinfeng, do you know that Huang Ama has caused old illnesses because of you. It took a long time to get better. Why do you say such things?"

"...I know the consequences are serious, but if I don't say it, the consequences may not be better than this,"

Yinfeng pursed his lips and said, "Lingpu's matter must have a result. I myself don't want to follow the path they set for me. I don't want them to do what they want, and I don't want to be framed by them again." , I want Huang Ama to see all of this, and then end all of this. I can only use this method of dredging the bottom. Only in this way can I destroy their arrangement, and then bring things into the range that I can control Come."

"Bringing things into the realm of your control? What do you mean by that?"

Shi Shi said, "Could it be possible that you really provoked Huang Ama on purpose, and then let him abolish you? Why can you control the situation like this? Now that you have become an abolished prince, can't you do nothing?" ?”

"Huang Ama is a holy king. After his fierce anger against me calms down, he will see what I said, and the chaos in the court caused by the dispute over the crown prince. At that time, he will He will know that what I said is true, if he sees it and understands it, then he will solve it, and he will also understand the difficulty of being the crown prince."

Yinfeng sighed, "I do my best to be the crown prince, and I have a clear conscience about all kinds of things. I admit what I do, and I will never admit what I haven't done. Just like me and Huang Ama This is an irreconcilable contradiction, when I really can't hide it anymore, I can only choose to let Huang Ama see, even for this, I will be abolished by Huang Ama."

Shishi blinked, hearing Yinfeng say these words, her heart was sore, even her eyes were red.

After listening to Yinreng's words, she slowly understood Yinreng's true thoughts.Yinreng has clearly been walking forward these years with despair in mind. He clearly knows that the road ahead is dangerous but he does not give up. He continues to go down strong. He clearly knows that the road ahead may be full of despair, but he still walks down with hope for a change. .He is clearly serious about being the crown prince from body to heart, and he has clearly never picked up his own destiny in these years.

Just because I have never picked it up, I am willing to let it go, and I am able to do everything I can.In order to change all this, in order to show his heart to those he cares about, he can even give up his most important things.

"What I said to Huang Ama is not alarmist. In my prediction, once my position of crown prince is abolished, the position of crown prince will be vacant. Those who have different ideas about the position of crown prince , why not take this opportunity to grab it? And my crown prince was abolished, so naturally someone will intercede for me, hoping to let me be reinstated as crown prince again. In this way, the situation will definitely be chaotic, And Huang Ama will naturally realize that my words are not empty words, he will definitely find a way to solve the situation in front of him, "

Yinfeng said, "Besides, I will also know which people really support me and which people have evil intentions. Yuheng, if I move and stay still like this, I will finally stop with silence, maybe I will be able to win by surprise Yes. If I want to win, there are only two endings. One is that Huang Ama is overwhelmed and displeased with the princes and brothers competing for the crown prince, and then restores me as the crown prince to resist the princes. Brother's ambition; the second is that Huang Ama recognizes the reality and comes up with a solution to solve the problem between me and him. After that, he still thinks that I am the most suitable to be the crown prince, and then continue to restore me as the crown prince. Prince. Of course, the ending I most hope for is the latter, and only the latter is what I really want."

"But—" Shi Shi still had doubts after hearing this, "Yinfeng, how can you be sure that Huang Ama will only choose you and not other elder brothers to be the crown prince? If he leaves for the first time Three ways, if you abandon you and choose Elder Brother as the crown prince, then you will lose? Have you thought about this?"

"Of course I've thought about it," Yinfeng said with a smile, "Yuheng, in this world, how can there be such a good time to calculate? One point is not too much, and one point is not much. That kind of strategy is only found in novels." Yes, how can there be perfect things in real life? So, I am actually betting. Every time I plan, eight points are calculations, and two points are gambling. My guess is right. , I bet that the person I read is right. If it is right, then I am also happy. If it is wrong, then I also admit it. And this time, I am betting on Huang Ama's feelings for me. I bet, It is Huang Ama's only remaining trust in me. Just like I am sinking, I also hope that Huang Ama can find a solution after recognizing the reality, and then is willing to restore me as the crown prince again."

Yinfeng paused, then smiled again, "However, if I lose the bet, then I am willing to admit defeat. But, I have to wrong you. I have nothing to do with my prince being deposed, but I have wronged the child You and you. This is what I owe you."

"We are a family, don't talk about this."

Shi Shi smiled slightly with tears in his eyes. When a family is together, it is natural to share weal and woe, share joys and sorrows, and don't say anything about responsibility or responsibility.

"However, Yinfeng, this time, you still won the bet."

Shi Shi said: "In the past few months since you were deposed, just as you guessed, all the princes and elder brothers have been fighting for the position of the crown prince. The decree prohibits the court from discussing the establishment of the crown prince, and said that if any of the princes and elder brothers seek to seek the crown prince, they will all be confiscated and imprisoned. Before that, many ministers in the court proposed that the position of the crown prince should not be vacant After hanging on for a long time, I suggested that Huang Ama should appoint another crown prince. Huang Ama asked all the ministers to nominate a candidate for the crown prince, saying that whoever the ministers nominate, Huang Ama will be appointed."

Shi paused for a moment before continuing, "As a result, all the ministers recommended the eighth elder brother. Huang Ama knew this result, and was very angry—"

Shi's voice is still in Yinreng's ears, but Yinreng's thoughts are far away.He knew what Shi Shi said about it, he had expected it a long time ago.It can be said that he broke the boat this time to anger Kangxi and was abolished as the crown prince, to a large extent, he wanted to create an illusion that the position of crown prince was vacant, and then let Yinhu think that he could take advantage of the vacancy, and then, Yinhu Si will fall down hard like in history, and fall a big somersault. Since then, she has no chance to be crowned prince, and was crushed in the dust by Kangxi angrily.

In fact, the reason is very simple. In the eyes of Kangxi, Yinhu is not qualified to aspire to the position of crown prince. No matter how carefully Yinhu planned, in the end, he still could not pass the level of Kangxi.The blow that Kangxi gave to Yinhu was much heavier than the blow that was given to Yinhu after Yinreng's painstaking planning.

This is why Yinfeng took the trouble to arrange to get rid of Yinti, but let Kangxi deal with Yinti by retreating.

Yinti is easy to get rid of, and you don't need to worry about exposing yourself, but Yinhu is different. If you want Yinti to be depressed from now on, you can only rely on Kangxi to take action.

The ending of Yinhu mentioned by Shi Shi is the same as in history.Kangxi was annoyed that Yinhu had such thoughts, and removed his Baylor position, his salary for half a year, and all the errands assigned to Yinhu.

"A month ago, Huang Ama went to relax outside the Great Wall. The eighth elder brother was seriously ill in the mansion and couldn't accompany him, so he sent someone to send a Haidongqing there, but when he came to Huang Ama, he saw that Haidongqing was about to die. It’s gone, and it’s about to die of old age. Huang Ama flew into a rage when she saw it, and ordered to reprimand the eighth elder brother. Now, the eighth elder brother is really gone.”

Yinreng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked Shi Shi, "Did you find out who replaced this Haidongqing?"

It is absolutely impossible for Yinhu himself to send a Haidongqing that is about to die of old age to Kangxi. Someone must have tampered with it along the way.The person who framed Yinhu like this must be a friend rather than an enemy.I just don't know if it's the people around him.

Shi Shi looked around and said in a low voice: "I didn't know who did it, but before I came, I met with the fourth elder brother. The fourth elder brother told me that he did it. Tell me to tell you that there is him outside, so you don't have to worry."

After hearing this, Yinfeng smiled silently and said, "Well, I'm not worried. I'm very relieved that my fourth brother is there outside."

Yinzhen's move completely cut off the possibility of Yinhu's recovery.In the future, whenever Kangxi thinks of Yinhu, he will think of the Haidongqing who is about to die of old age, and naturally he will add another layer of disgust towards Yinhu, so how can he make Yinhu the crown prince again?

"There is still the thirteenth elder brother," Shi sighed, "the fourth elder brother told me that when Huang Ama asked all the ministers to nominate a candidate for the crown prince, the thirteenth elder brother went to Huang Ama and recommended the fourth elder brother. Ma was angry, and asked the fourth elder brother to confront him. The fourth elder brother tried his best to clear it up, but the thirteenth elder brother said some irrelevant things, and said a lot of bad things about you. After hearing this, Huang Ama became more and more angry , I punished the thirteenth elder brother to go back to the house and contemplate for a year behind closed doors. The fourth elder brother said, judging from Huang Ama's intentions, he must have hated the thirteenth elder brother."

After hearing this, Yinfeng only smiled and said: "I didn't expect him to have this kind of thinking. He only wanted to let the fourth brother take the position. It seems that he has a deep brotherhood. However, he is too selfish, but he doesn't understand the fourth brother at all. thoughts."

"Who says it's not? The fourth elder brother also said the same to me. If Huang Ama hadn't scolded the thirteenth elder brother, I'm afraid the thirteenth elder brother would not be able to stop thinking about it."

Shi looked at Yinreng and said, "Yinreng, the situation is much better now than when you were abolished. Huang Ama is willing to see me, and sometimes he will let Hongchang go and talk with him. The fourth elder brother said , Huang Ama's attitude has eased a lot, which is a good thing. Maybe, Huang Ama really wants to restore you as the crown prince. Now the court wants Huang Ama to restore you as the emperor The voice of the prince is also there. I can come to see you now because of the change of the situation."

"Yinfeng, is the current situation developing towards the ending you want, as you said?"

Yinfeng was silent for a long time before saying: "Right now, it's not easy to say, all of this depends on what Huang Ama thinks."

It would be a good thing if Kangxi could think clearly after experiencing these things. If he resented him more because of these things, then the ending would be hard to say.

-

Kangxi abolished Yinfeng in a rage that day, but after calming down and thinking carefully, he felt that what he had done was too hasty.Abolishing the crown prince without preparing anything will definitely cause waves in the ruling and opposition parties.

However, people are already useless, and it is useless to regret.It's just that he has mixed emotions in his heart. It's like living in a dream for the past few months, and his heart is always restless.Coupled with the words Yinfeng said to him before he was deposed, he was always uneasy.

And there were so many things that happened in the past few months that Kangxi was exhausted physically and mentally for a time, and he didn't have time to calm down and think about it.Now that things are a little less, Kangxi sat quietly and meditated, only to find that Yinfeng's words covered almost everything that happened during this period.

Kangxi had to admit that what Yinfeng said was correct.He didn't have time to think about it when he established the crown prince, and in these years, he never faced up to the problems between him and Yinfeng, nor did he face up to the problems between the emperor and the crown prince that were the root of all problems.

Kangxi thought about it for a day, and then he called Li Guangdi, the most trusted person in recent years, who was qualified as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, to speak.

When Kangxi saw Li Guangdi, he asked him the first sentence: "Guangdi, now in the court, everyone is making suggestions for the establishment of a crown prince. Why don't you say anything about it?"

Li Guang said: "This is the emperor's family matter, I dare not say more."

"It's a family matter, and it's also a state matter," Kangxi said. "It's just you and me here. If you have any ideas, feel free to speak up."

"Yes," Li Guang said, "the establishment of the crown prince is the general trend of the court. I believe that this trend should be neglected rather than blocked. The emperor should still install the crown prince."

Kangxi said: "Go on."

Li Guangdi was silent for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, I also think that the position of the crown prince should not be vacant. But the emperor still has to carefully consider the choice of this candidate. From my point of view, among the princes and brothers, there are those who can be appointed, but they still have to wait." The selection needs to be considered by the emperor."

Seeing Li Guangdi's refusal to speak clearly, Kangxi's eyes flickered slightly, and then he asked tentatively: "What if I want to restore the second elder brother as the crown prince? Do you think it is feasible?"

But Li Guangdi was not fooled, he just said: "Dare to ask the emperor, why do you want to restore the second elder brother as the crown prince?"

Li Guangdi was not surprised by Kangxi's thoughts, after all, there had been voices in the court that he wanted to restore the second elder brother as the crown prince.Kangxi was surrounded by many voices, and it is understandable to have such an idea.

Kangxi slowed down before replying: "On the day the Crown Prince was abolished, I said something to me. I regarded it as nonsense and absurd words, and thought that the Crown Prince was rebellious. I was so angry that I abolished the Emperor." Prince. Everyone outside thinks that I abolished the prince because of Ling Pu's affairs, but in fact, I abolished the prince not because of Ling Pu's affairs, but because of what the crown prince said."

After Kangxi told Li Guang what Yinfeng said that day, he said, "In the past few months, what the second elder brother said that day has come true. I am wondering if I am really wrong. I didn't think carefully, so that I misunderstood the crown prince for many years. Now that I think about it carefully, I find that there is nothing wrong with the crown prince. On the contrary, I have never seen the truth of the matter. Moreover, the position of the crown prince is vacant. There are not a few people who are thinking about it, I am really worried!"

"After much deliberation, I found two solutions. One, I completely abolished the second elder brother and his Fujin, and then established a new crown prince. However, I can no longer delegate power to the new crown prince. I have to learn from the past. Generally, the crown prince is placed there, but he is not asked to do anything. The same is true for the princes and elder brothers. They are not allowed to manage affairs. All affairs are taken care of by me, and they are not asked to help each other. In this way, when Conflicts can be avoided again; the second thing is, I will restore the second elder brother as the crown prince, and the princes and elder brothers will no longer assign him errands. Everything will be managed by me and the crown prince. I trust the crown prince, and the government will The opinion of the crown prince is the main one, and in this way, I have made concessions to the crown prince. Guangdi, what do you think?"

"Your majesty," Li Guang said, "When I was the head of the Imperial Academy, I spent some time with my second elder brother. At that time, I felt that the crown prince really didn't look like a prince when he humbly asked for advice. Your majesty Yes, I know that I am a scholar, and I am somewhat arrogant and self-proclaimed. When the crown prince wants to sit down and watch the government, I don't agree. I admire the second elder brother very much. Few people can do that for several years. To tell you the truth, I always felt that I could see the shadow of the emperor in the second elder brother."

"I understand what you mean. Thinking back to the second elder brother these years, no matter what he does, he is serious. If it is not good, it is also bad for others. As for him, when I think about it now, he seems to have nothing against me. place." Hearing Li Guangdi's words, Kangxi was somewhat moved, "Guangdi, do you think it would be a better choice to restore the second elder brother as the crown prince?"

Naturally, Li Guangdi couldn't make decisions for Kangxi, he avoided answering Kangxi's questions, and only said: "The emperor is now in a safe place, if the emperor is in charge of all affairs, I still have some concerns about the emperor's health."

When Li Guangdi said this, Kangxi understood.

"Okay, I understand. Guangdi, you go, I will think about it again."

If you decide to restore Yinreng as the crown prince again, then you need to think carefully about what reason to use to restore Yinreng again.

-

After several months, this was the first time seeing Kangxi again after Yinfeng was abolished, and also seeing Kangxi again as the crown prince.

The father and son looked at each other silently, and in the end it was Kangxi who blushed first, and stood up personally to help Yinreng who was kneeling on the ground to pay his respects.

Yinreng looked at Kangxi with red eyes and said, "Thank you, Huang Ama. Thank you, Huang Ama, for still being willing to trust my son. My son will definitely not disappoint Huang Ama's expectations!"

Kangxi decreed the day before yesterday to restore him as the crown prince.It is said that he was deposed because he was bewitched by evil things before he disobeyed and committed crimes. Now that his madness has recovered, he will naturally be re-established as the crown prince.As for where the evil thing was, Kangxi also made it clear that it came from the Xiefang Palace next to Yuqing Palace, which had been unoccupied for many years.

Yinfeng didn't care what Kangxi said, as long as he could be reinstated as the crown prince.Moreover, Kangxi's imperial decree has clearly stated that in the future, the princes and elder brothers will not be sent on errands, so as to avoid the elder brothers' desire to seize the throne.Afterwards, all the affairs of the government and the public will be taken care of by the crown prince, and then reported to Kangxi to know.

Yinfeng knew that until now, this round, he had won the bet.

The crown prince was in charge of all the affairs of the court and China, which meant that Kangxi gave him more than half of the real power. From then on, he no longer needed to worry about repeating the same mistakes, because he solved the last hidden danger in the path of the crown prince.Kangxi really regarded him as a trustworthy person.

As for the princes and elder brothers, since Yinti, Yinhu and others, no one can compete with him anymore.They no longer receive errands, and naturally they have no influence at all.If there is any action in the future, he can naturally eradicate it easily.

Today, after more than 20 years, Yinfeng has firmly stood on the seat of the crown prince.

After seeing Kangxi, Yinreng went out to Qianqing Palace, looking at the palace city which was sunny after the rain, Yinreng let out a sigh of relief.

He once said to Suo'er that day that he wanted to make all the officials respect him by himself, so that he would stand by his side fearlessly when he was opposed to Kangxi.

Originally, he thought that during the years of sitting in front of the court, all he had saved was contacts and experience for Yinzhen.But he didn't expect that after all the hard work in those years, he still saved a Li Guangdi.

There were many courtiers who spoke for him, but Li Guangdi was the only one who spoke with weight in front of Kangxi and dared to speak out in front of Kangxi and firmly supported him.

He won all the bets, but he never expected to win one more heart.And it was Li Guangdi's heart that was the most crucial.

He originally thought that this kind of human heart was extremely rare, and he thought that no matter how hard he worked, he would never get it.But it never occurred to him that Huang Tian pays attention to those who cared for him, and some people would care about his painstaking efforts.

Regardless of whether Li Guangdi was doing it for him or for the world, he was very grateful to Li Guangdi.Also because of Li Guangdi, Yinreng suddenly felt that the burden on his body was getting heavier. He knew that it was not easy to be the crown prince, so how easy is it to be the king?

Kangxi is old, and I'm afraid he won't live for many years.At that time, he will ascend the throne as emperor.

However, after becoming emperor, Yinfeng knew very well that this was not an end, but a beginning, a more difficult beginning.
