Chapter 125: A Waste Prince

After the crown prince was deposed, Yinyu used his unique advantages to give strong support to the old eight Yinyu to compete for the throne. He made full use of his ability to make friends to increase his supporters and expand the strength of the small group, and soon made Yinxi win the satisfaction of the courtiers. As everyone knows, Yinyu is willing to "make money" for Yinyu, and he responds to requests. Yinyu often likes to summon warlocks to his home to tell fortunes, and every time he finishes his work, he is paid by Yinyu to one or two hundred taels to show his gratitude. And Yinyu is also good at making friends, and the expenses are quite large, so Yinyu frequently sends people to his house to send silver taels.

In the face of Yinzhen's high-profile behavior, Yinzhen silently began to distance himself from several of them after analyzing the pros and cons and Kangxi's attitude, but Yinzhen and Yinzhen didn't seem to see Yinzhen's attitude, and still regarded Yinzhen as the same road, and still liked to discuss with him in case of trouble, wanting to get his support.

On the day when the abolished prince Yinren was imprisoned in Xian'an Palace, the eldest son of the emperor, Yinren, who had coveted the position of the prince for a long time, was ready to move at this time, and he had the intention of giving up on me, and was severely reprimanded by Kangxi. In this heavy blow, Yinhe knew that he had no hope of inheriting the unification, so he recommended the eighth elder brother Yinxi to Kangxi, saying that Zhang Mingde, who had seen the appearance, would be very expensive after he had been with Yinxi. and is willing to kill Yinren for Kangxi. This remark provoked Kangxi's anger, and Kangxi at this time thought that Yinxi had the heart of hope for unification and guarded against it.

At night, when Yinzhen came to my courtyard to talk about this, he sighed: "I didn't expect that the eighth child has so many henchmen in the court, but in just a few days, he can gather the ministers to recommend it." It's just that Huang Ama doesn't seem to have the intention to do it, but Long Yan is furious, so it seems that Huang Ama is just a moment of anger as you said. ”

I searched the time course in my memory and slowly spoke: "You have supported the prince for a long time, and you have never managed your own power, plus you are too rigid on weekdays, it is inevitable to offend others, but others have many scruples about seeing you close to the prince before. But now, if the matter of the crown prince's abolition is decided, it will not be disliked by the emperor, and those who are not on good terms with you will inevitably take the opportunity to obstruct you, so that the emperor will not like you. Besides, no matter who becomes the new prince, with your heart for the prince's past, I am afraid that you will not be sincere and kind in the future. Therefore, let me say a few more words in a woman's opinion, but I think that now that I can get a glimpse of the emperor's intentions, it is better to quickly verify that the prince's crimes have been wronged, and help the prince clear his guilt and recover again. As for the future......"

Speaking of this, I also hesitated, feeling that there were too many words, and then I was afraid that Yinzhen would feel that I was too scheming and defensive, so I was halfway through the words, and then fell silent.

"No one can say what will happen in the future, you can only take one step at a time, but even if the deposed prince is reinstated, I am afraid that it will be like a blank paper with ink, which will hurt the root after all, and it will be difficult to win people's hearts in the future. "Yinzhen Xu thought that I didn't say the next words because I was afraid of committing a taboo, so I took it and said what I thought.

I smiled lightly, and suddenly said something that was not in touch with me, "It's a little late tonight, if only I had more time." ”

Yin Zhen glanced at the half-lit candle, smiled lightly, and responded: "Yes, it would be nice to have more time." ”

The next day, Kangxi summoned all the princes to the Qianqing Palace, saying that Yinren was soft and treacherous, and had great ambitions, and his henchmen colluded with each other to murder the abolished prince Yinren, and locked him up and punished him. Yinyu, the ninth son of the emperor, who has always had a deep relationship with Yinyu, invited the fourteenth son of the emperor Yinyu to bring poison to stop him. Yinyu collided with Kangxi between words, and Emperor Kangxi was very angry, drew his sword and wanted to punish Yinyu. Thanks to the fifth son of the emperor Yinqi kneeling and persuading, the princes kowtowed and pleaded, Kangxi put away the knife and ordered the princes to beat Yinyu with 20 boards and expel him from the palace, which can be regarded as resolving a bloody conflict between father and son.

Afterwards, according to Yinzhen, when Yinyu and Yinyu "stood up to play", Yinyu invited him to play together, but after considering the various interests we had discussed, he decided not to participate in it, so fortunately he avoided this right and wrong and did not let Kangxi get angry with him.

Every time I hear the news of Yinyu, I can only express helplessness and worry about his recklessness and arrogance. I know very well that although Yinyu is usually tactful and shrewd, he has always been very naïve and naïve in politics.

In fact, I could have sent someone to remind Yinzhen earlier like reminding Yinzhen, but the political struggle is different from the battle in the inner house, and the difference in points can often be thousands of miles wrong, from the beginning of my choice to stand on Yinzhen's side, I am destined to be opposed to Yinzhen, and I don't dare to take such a big risk because of the emotional entanglement. Whether it is to avoid causing a butterfly effect that changes history, or to help Yinzhen out of my own obsession, I can only choose to be sorry for him.

In the face of the complicated political situation, Yinzhen's pressure is obviously increasing, and I seem to have become his only outlet to relieve these pressures.

When these court events were told to me from his mouth without hesitation, I began to remain as silent as possible, just laughing and listening, rarely talking, always reminding myself not to get too involved, and try not to let him think that I was deliberately involved in or influenced this smokeless battle for storage positions. Only when he asks will he say his thoughts, sometimes it is to the point, sometimes it is insinuation, everything is thought out before and after thinking about all kinds of words before he speaks, never half a sentence.

Not long after, the trial of Zhang Mingde's case involved in the Yinxi incident was concluded, and Emperor Kangxi said that the old eight Yinxi heard that Zhang Mingde had said that he would not report it, so he dismissed Baylor of Yinxi and demoted him to an idle clan. And Zhang Mingde, who was unlucky enough to be involved, was executed by Ling Chi because Kangxi said that his love crime was extremely hateful, and when he was executed, he also ordered people who had anything to do with this matter to go to watch the execution.

During this time, Yinzhen was transferred by Kangxi to take care of the abolished prince Yinren with Yinzhen and Yinyu. During this period, Ming said that he had no intention of harming the emperor Ama, and asked Yinzhen and Yinzhen, who were in charge of him, to act as Chen Zuo.

At that time, Yinren refused to help on the grounds that Kangxi had something to say in front of him and did not allow Yinren to play. However, Yinzhen unexpectedly found Yinzhen and said: "This matter is very important, and it should be played for the abolished prince." ”

Yinzhen originally had the idea of temporarily protecting the abolished prince to buy time for himself, and seeing that Yinzhen also felt that Kangxi should be informed of the grievances of the abolished prince, he said to Yinzhen: "If you don't play, I'll play." ”

Seeing Yinzhen's resolute attitude, Yinzhen was forced to play Yinren's statement to Kangxi Chen, and Kangxi praised them for doing the right thing afterwards. also praised Yinzhen and said, "When Yinren was detained before, no one played for it, but the fourth elder brother has a good temperament, knows the righteousness, and repeatedly protects Yinren before me. ”

Because of this incident, Yinzhen was quite happy after returning home, and he became more confident and sure of Kangxi's thoughts.

And I began to faintly worry that Yinzhen would not be able to bear his urgency, so I became too impatient. So I had to remind him to keep a low profile and to be patient in everything. (To be continued.) )
