The swansong of the swansong
Chapter 20 It's impossible to come in vain
Chapter 20 It's impossible to come in vain
Yinyu, however, looked calm and composed, not panicked or afraid at all. He was just a prince with no title or power, and he had no demands on Yinreng, so why should he be afraid?
More importantly, the eunuchs and palace maids around Yinreng were all arranged by Kangxi himself, and he had a dense network of spies.
It is no exaggeration to say that Yinyou's admonition to Yinreng would sooner or later reach Kangxi's ears.
In the palace, whether visiting the emperor or the prince, the gate guards must register in detail.
In other words, every person who came to visit Yinreng, no matter how long they had stayed in the Eastern Palace, where they had been, and what they had said, could not escape the control of Kangxi.
What does it mean to be truly sensible?
Isn’t it just a good boy like Yinyou who is broad-minded, considerate of the overall situation, and has feelings and loyalty?
Hehe, without some benefits, how could Yinyou come to the Eastern Palace in vain?
"Who taught you to say that?" Yinreng frowned, narrowed his eyes, and asked Yinyou coldly.
Yinyu bowed and explained calmly, "Brother, I come from a poor family. No one looks up to me except my fourth brother. To be honest, I don't ask for anything else. I just want to be a happy prince for the rest of my life."
This answer seems to be irrelevant.
However, Yinyou told Yinreng in disguise that he had no demands and was neither a member of the Eighth Master's party nor a member of the Big Master's party. He was just a free-spirited person in the middle.
"Hmph, who do you think you are? It's not your turn to teach me a lesson." Yinreng knew that what Yinyou said made sense, but he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and flew into a rage.
Yinyou sighed lightly, bowed and said, "Take care, second brother. I'll take my leave now." Then he turned and left.
If we don’t agree, let’s go home!
Given Yinreng's strength and status, if Yinyou really dared to confront him, he would definitely suffer a great loss.
Yinreng had just kicked the fourth brother unconscious, and then he attacked Yinyou. It was definitely unjustifiable both morally and logically.
However, what Yinyu did not expect was that just as he walked to the door, he suddenly heard Yinreng's gentle voice, "Fifteenth brother, I know what you are doing for my own good. But, I don't know why, I always feel depressed."
Wow, given Yinreng's temper and status, the fact that he could say such soft words was already an admission of his mistake.
Yinyou stood quietly by the door, glanced at the eunuchs and palace maids around him without making any expression, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Second brother, you cannot force us to take something that Khan Ama doesn't give you. This is all I have to say, and I'm taking my leave." He strode away and never looked back.
This is simply wonderful!
In fact, it comes from a classic line in a movie: If I don’t give it to you, you can’t take it away!
Yinreng’s problem was not one of academic knowledge or governance skills, but rather the mental stress caused by Kangxi living too long.
Objectively speaking, Yinreng had been driven insane by Kangxi!
Although they were father and son, Kangxi had been taking various measures to suppress Yinreng's growing power.
Until Yinreng, whose wings were cut off, felt uneasy and feared that Kangxi would depose him from the position of crown prince.
However, the more Yinreng wanted to fight back, the tighter Kangxi's net became. Over time, a vicious cycle was formed.
Yinyou was not favored, was not in service, and did not want to get close to anyone. The Crown Prince Yinreng could only humiliate him at most. Could he really dare to kill his brother?
As the saying goes, when you have no desires, you are strong!
Yinreng had never been contradicted like this before. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but shout, "Bring me my whip!"
Hongxi saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly knelt down, hugged Yinreng's right leg tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, I think that Uncle Fifteen is a rare honest minister."
"What did you say?" Yinreng raised his hand in anger and slapped Hongxi hard on the face. Normally, even if the royal family was angry, they would not hit someone personally, as that would be too degrading!
However, Yinreng was used to being domineering. Among the princes and ministers, including his little follower, the fourth brother, who had not been beaten by him?
"Father, I think that my fifteenth uncle is a rare honest minister." Hongxi was also anxious because of the beating, and he was determined to make his point clear even if he was whipped.
After all, their personal interests were involved. If Yinreng was deposed, Hongxi would completely lose the right to inherit the throne.
The reason is simple. Deposing the father and enthroning the son will make Hongxi bear a bad reputation that can never be washed away.
Perhaps having learned from Yinreng's lesson, Kangxi did not dote on Hongxi too much and adopted a combination of firmness and gentleness in his education. As a result, Hongxi became the second prince of the Yuqing Palace, who was well-known for his virtue and was favored by the Qing Dynasty.
"You..." Yinreng was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he couldn't bring himself to whip Hongxi.
Whether Yinreng's position as crown prince could be secure depended on Hongxi, who was particularly favored by Kangxi, to help maintain it.
In other words, Hongxi now has unparalleled barrel war value!
"Master, the Second Prince is right. His fifteenth uncle is an outspoken and loyal minister!" At the critical moment, Crown Princess Guaerjia arrived in time and broke the awkwardness of the scene.
The Crown Princess walked quickly to Yinreng, squatted down respectfully and swung her handkerchief to salute.
"Master, although I have long hair and little knowledge, I know that his uncle Fifteen is really doing this for your own good."
The appearance of the Crown Princess made Hongxi breathe a sigh of relief. It would be difficult for him to stop the furious Yinreng by himself.
Objectively speaking, Crown Princess Guaerjia was not only Yinreng's first wife, but also had the power to manage the six palaces and was deeply trusted by Kangxi. Yinreng had to give her some face, more or less.
"It was you who said that you wanted to invite Little Fifteen to be a guest here, and I agreed. But Little Fifteen is too ignorant and actually said nonsense..." Yinreng began to chatter about Yinyou.
Crown Princess Guaerjia couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
When Yinreng was not angry, he was still very reasonable. However, in order to maintain the so-called dignity of the crown prince, he had to make up his mind.
It has to be said that all the men in the Aisin-Gioro family, starting from Taizu's old slave, like to act like hooligans.
As the Crown Princess, who shared a common interest with him, she knew better than anyone that as long as Soetu was alive, Yinreng could easily take control of the government if the mausoleum collapsed in the future.
Because when Crown Prince Yinreng was not convenient to show up in person, Soetu used his position as powerful minister to secretly help him win over his followers.
Now, Yinreng's position as crown prince has become precarious.
When people are in an unsafe situation, they are bound to have some extreme reactions, for example, he actually kicked the fourth child unconscious.
When Kangxi heard about Yinreng beating his own brother, what would he think of him?
Oh, you dared to be so presumptuous when I was alive. When I die, won't you kill all my brothers?
"Master, his fifteenth uncle is not only young, but he also has two younger brothers from the same mother." The Crown Princess tactfully reminded Yinreng that Yinyu's younger brother, the Eighteenth, not only enjoyed the emperor's favor, but also had been living in the Qianqing Palace, so it would be best to win him over.
After leaving Yuqing Palace, Yinwei couldn't help but let out a long sigh, thinking that this trip was not in vain.
As long as his words of advice to the prince reached Kangxi's ears, his good image as a filial father, respectful brother and friendly younger brother would be firmly established!
Trying not to offend Crown Prince Yinreng too much has always been Yinyu's basic principle.
Because there are still six years until the prince's complete downfall.
