[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

The Eighteenth Prince was taken care of by Jiang Yingrong himself, Kangxi felt relieved for a while, but couldn't help but think of the prince's merciless behavior just now, Kangxi was angry and sad, and ordered the prince to come to listen to the training.The people who summoned him went and returned, but the prince was nowhere to be seen. Kangxi was furious, and asked the reason. It turned out that the prince had gone back and was too drunk to drink.

"Wake up the prince, and I will drag the prince here." Kangxi's face was ashen, and his expression was full of bone-chilling chills. He had lost patience with the prince who knew nothing wrong.

"Report to the emperor, the king of Zhijun has a book to play." The little eunuch bowed and presented a memorial, and Liang Jiugong personally took it and handed it to the emperor.

Kangxi opened it and saw that it was Yinti and several ministers who jointly accused the prince of the five major crimes, especially accusing the prince of approaching the curtain of Kangxi's residence every night during the march, pushing open the gaps, peeping in ghostly ways, not knowing what he wanted. Such acts of spying on the emperor's traces and inquiring about the emperor's daily activities are simply revealing the heart of a wolf.After Kangxi saw it, he threw the book to the ground angrily, and ordered Liang Jiugong to call all the princes and ministers to see him immediately.

In the palace, the kings, ministers, guards, and civil and military officials lined up according to their positions. The prince who was woken up by the cold water knelt in the middle. Ignore the rules and regulations, I have been tolerant for many years, not only did not repent, but intensified, it is really difficult to inherit the great achievements of the ancestors. There are five crimes of Yinfeng: first, he specializes in authority, abuses the people, treats the kings and ministers as nothing, and beats and insults at will Second, extravagance and lust, extravagance, and obscenity, and food and clothing are comparable to mine, but there is still a lot of desire; third, wantonly taking money from the treasury, sending people to intercept tribute envoys from various ministries, and greedy tribute things; fourth, narrow-minded , being ruthless and unintentional towards brothers, and ignoring the princes; fifth, forming cliques for private interests, forming cliques, spying on the throne, listening to my daily life movements, and revealing the heart of disobedience." Kangxi's stern words from the beginning to the present His eyes were red, his voice was trembling, but he continued:

"I have devoted myself to nurturing for 34 years, but I don't want to raise such an unfilial, unfraternal, unfaithful, unkind person. If I become a king, the country will be destroyed, the government will be in turmoil, and the people will be ruined." Kangxi said no longer support Unable to stop, he fell to the ground crying bitterly, and was hurriedly helped up by Liang Jiugong and several ministers in front of him.

The prince kneeling in the middle was already dripping with cold sweat, prostrate on the ground, trembling all over, just kept shouting: "My son is wronged, father and emperor are clear about it." Seeing that Kangxi didn't respond, he couldn't help shouting "My son is guilty!" , Please forgive me." It's a pity that Kangxi is no longer willing to believe in the sincerity of the prince.

Under the persuasion of the surrounding ministers to "calm the emperor's anger", and many people interceded, Kangxi gradually calmed down and returned to normal. Instead, he asked the question: "What's your opinion, my love?"

Standing upright, everyone dared not speak, and they all showed sadness on their faces. When Kangxi continued to press him, he could only say something like "the emperor's sage", until the palace was silent, and Kangxi said:

"Although the prince has misbehaved and failed my expectations, the fault of the prince is not the fault of any one person. If no one instigates him, why is it so?"

"Emperor Shengming."

Everyone thought that Kangxi wanted to hold it up high and put it down lightly, and was reluctant to be the real prince, but they didn't expect Kangxi to change the subject: "I will pass on my will, and send Gelfin, Aljishan, Erge, Surte, and Hash to the throne." Tai and Sarbang'a rectified the law on the spot, confiscated their family property, and sent their family members to Ningguta; sent Du Mochen, A Jintai, Su Hechen, Ni Yahan and their families to Shengjing, and they would never be hired; Yinti and Yinzhen are under temporary custody."

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

……

For a while there were begging for mercy in the palace, and the officials who were convicted were all attached to Yinfeng's forces. Kangxi's move was to wipe out the prince's party, but he did not abandon the prince immediately, but everyone knew that the prince's abolition was a foregone conclusion. Just wait for the time sooner or later.

The prince was dragged down like a puddle of mud. Although he had already guessed that the prince's position might be lost, he never thought that this moment would come so fast. Yinfeng couldn't describe how he felt at the moment, he felt unwilling and relieved. There is fear and confusion about the unknown.

With the prince being detained, everyone wished to be a man with their tails tucked between their legs, and couldn't help breathing more slowly. Even Jiang Yingrong couldn't help being a little distracted, and she was quite cautious in her words and actions.The only good thing is that Elder Eighteen's condition finally stabilized and began to show signs of improvement, making the oppressive and dreary palace a little more relaxed, but even though he recovered his life, this illness has hurt Shiba's vitality after all. It is the fault of falling □□ weak.

"Are you also here to make fun of Gu?" The prince with disheveled hair and unshaven beard was lying on the ground in disheveled clothes. When he got close, he could smell a sour smell on his body, mixed with the smell of wine, which was indescribably unpleasant. I haven't washed and changed clothes for many days.It was embarrassing for a moment that His Royal Highness, who used to be a high-ranking prince, turned into such a dog in the water now.

Yinzhen walked up to Yinreng, looked at the food left on the side, bent down to help Yinreng up, but was pushed away by Yinreng, staggered and almost fell to the ground, and managed to stabilize his figure , but looked at Shang Yinreng with red and resentful eyes.

"Are you proud now? Have you been waiting for this day? As long as Guyi makes way, with your good mother around, the fourth brother will be the next crown prince. Why come here to see Guyi?" The ex-prince's joke." Yinreng's words contained strong envy and hatred, as well as a show of bravado, not wanting to be disadvantaged by those who had taken orders from him in the past.

"Your Highness is drunk, my brother helps His Highness go to bed and have a good sleep." Yinzhen seemed to have not heard what Yinfeng said, and tried to help Yinfeng again.

"Go away, I'm not drunk." Yinreng roared, but his momentum weakened instantly after he shouted, "Now everyone wants to stay away from Gu, or come to see Gu's jokes, and take the opportunity to step on Gu's feet, you You don't need to wait on Gu carefully, you don't need to be angry with Gu, and you don't need to pretend to care about Gu, you go, you go!"

Looking at the prince in such a state of embarrassment, Yin Zhen didn't feel relieved, or as Yin Reng said, he thought that as long as the position of prince was vacant, he would be able to take office by himself. If so, he would be stupid.After all, he is the second brother who has been with him for many years. How can he watch him continue to degenerate and give up on himself, not to mention that the matter has not really been settled yet.

"Second elder brother, this younger brother is bold enough to call His Highness second elder brother. Second elder brother knows that Huang Ama has not been able to eat or sleep well these few days. Has there ever been a moment of peace?" Looking at Yinfeng who listened in a daze, Yinzhen continued: "Second brother was deceived by others and went astray if he didn't check for a while, but as the saying goes, knowing his mistakes can make a big difference. As long as second brother learns from the pain and sincerely repents, he will definitely be able to get Huang Ama's forgiveness again."

"Heh~, that's easier said than done!" Yin Reng sneered, and then casually picked up the wine jar beside him, trying to continue to numb himself with alcohol and escape from reality.These are all prepared by Yinti for the prince. Since the prince likes to drink, he, the elder brother, naturally has to satisfy his younger brother's preferences. How did the detained prince get so much wine.

Yinzhen snatched the wine jar and threw it on the ground hard, "It's not easy, but my brother knows that like the second elder brother who is self-defeating and unable to support the wall with mud, he will never want to ask Huang Ama to look at him again for the rest of his life. I still remember the second elder brother who was smart and studious, with both civil and military skills, the second elder brother who was well-versed in eloquence and skilled in bowing and horses, and the second elder brother who had supervised the country for several times on behalf of the emperor Ama. Since I was young, I have always used my second brother as a role model. I hope that one day I can learn four or five points of my second brother's talents, and that will be enough. Is your brother a role model?" Yinzhen's voice was covered with a thick layer of icy slag, and there was also a sense of disappointment that hated iron but not steel, coldly poking every nerve of Yinfeng.

"Fourth brother..." Yinreng looked up at Yinzhen under the candlelight, because his back was facing the candlelight, the expression on Yinzhen's face was not real, but the words just now shocked Yinreng's mind, yes, once He is a candidate for the position that the ruling and opposition parties are satisfied with, why has he become like this now.

Yinzhen finished speaking in one breath, looked at Yinreng slumped in a daze, without the slightest reaction, and didn't want to say any more, left a sentence "This is all my brother's words." Then turned and left.

Yinzhen left, Yinreng couldn't take it anymore, he prostrated on the ground, trembling all over, and after a while there was a suppressed sob: "Fourth brother, second brother is tired of being a prince, too tired It's gone." I don't know how long it took to cry before slowly stopping my voice.

Yinzhen walked forward slowly under the moonlight after leaving the door. Out of the corner of his eye, he found a guard at the door quietly walking towards Kangxi, thinking that he wanted to report what happened just now. Yinzhen's steps became brisk and tight. There was a vague smile on the corners of the tight lips, but it was quickly withdrawn, as if the smile just now was an illusion.

On September 47th in the 24th year of Kangxi, Luanjia returned to Beijing, and immediately summoned the kings, Baylor, and ministers of civil and military affairs to the Meridian Gate to announce the decree of arresting Prince Yunfeng.Later, Emperor Kangxi personally wrote a sacrificial oration, and on the [-]th, he offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, Taimiao, and Sheji, abolished the position of Prince Yinfeng, deprived him of the title of Crown Princess, and transferred Yinfeng and his family to Xian'an Palace for confinement. On the [-]th, the decree of abolishing the prince was announced to the world.

Yinfeng was abolished, and all the elder brothers began to covet the throne. The battle for the throne became more intense and turned to the public. The eldest prince Yinti believed that Kangxi would become a successor if he failed to establish a heir, so he began to actively run around to win people's hearts. In order to support him as soon as possible as the crown prince, it is a pity that Yinti misjudged the situation and exposed his ambitions in front of Kangxi prematurely. Kangxi said "Yinti is impatient and stubborn, so he cannot be established as the crown prince" and completely beat Yinti back to his original form , There is no hope of seizing the reserve.Then Yinti began to support the eighth elder brother Yinhu, and even brought up the reason that "the warlock Zhang Mingde once said that Yinhu must be very expensive", and asked Kangxi to kill the former prince Yinyu more than once, which made Kangxi start to take strict precautions against Yinhu and keep close contact with him. Pay attention to the movements of the two, for fear that the two will form a party one day to seek the throne.
