Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

The eldest prince had beautiful dreams, but Tong Guowei was still alive, and he and Tong Guogang's sons had not yet taken power, so how could it be the turn of Shun Anyan, a junior?

Shun Anyan can't provide much help to the eldest prince, but the eldest prince also values ​​Shun Anyan's future. As long as Shun Anyan is there, he will have an emotion detector in Kangxi.

What the eldest prince didn't expect was that before he could enjoy the benefits brought by Shun Anyan, his relationship with Shun Anyan was exposed first.

The eldest prince also felt unlucky. He was on the same team as Shun Anyan, but Shun Anyan's decision to marry the fifth princess was entirely the result of the Tong family's arrangement, Kangxi's favor and Shun Anyan's own excellence. It had nothing to do with the eldest prince!

Moreover, the Fifth Princess is the Fourth Prince's biological sister, and the Fourth Prince is on the Crown Prince's side. The Eldest Prince thought to himself, I have no doubt that I was very tolerant and generous by having the Fifth Princess lure Shun Anyan to the Crown Prince's side. But now, look what happens, I have become a treacherous minister who has done all kinds of evil!

This incident had a huge impact on the eldest prince's reputation among the people. Although he didn't care what the people thought, nor did he think that a small piece of public opinion could have any effect on him, it had a huge impact on his prestige in the court. A dignified prince was actually pointed at and scolded for doing something sneaky.

Although the eldest prince did not find any evidence, his intuition told him that the only person who could come up with such a disgusting plan was the crown prince.

The eldest prince cursed the prince in his heart while looking for his external brain, Mingzhu, to think of a solution.

Mingzhu listened to the eldest prince's nonsense about the crown prince and found the core of the matter. "The great prince said that someone falsely accused you and Shun Anyan of tampering when choosing a prince consort."

The eldest prince sat down and said, "You don't have to be so tactful, Prime Minister Ming. It's the insidious second prince who wants to lower my reputation through this incident. He thinks too much. No minor official would believe this rumor."

Mingzhu stroked his beard, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is wrong. The core of this rumor is not about the selection of the Prince Consort, but the relationship between you and Shun Anyan!"

The eldest prince reflected on Mingzhu's words and finally realized what he had overlooked. The relationship between him and Shun Anyan was not something that could be discussed openly.

"The Emperor won't believe it," the eldest prince comforted himself.

Mingzhu sighed, "As long as the emperor is suspicious, the prince's plan will succeed."

The eldest prince pounded the table in anger, "The prince is such a despicable and shameless villain, he can resort to such dirty tricks."

Mingzhu was in no mood to listen to the eldest prince's 360-degree, all-round insults against the crown prince. He was thinking about how to resolve this crisis.

After the eldest prince finished scolding, he asked Mingzhu for help: "Prime Minister Ming, what should we do?"

Every day I am speechless at the eldest prince's stupidity, but I have to assist the master I chose even if I have to kneel down.

"This matter involves Kangxi's trust in the Tong family. The Tong family will not sit idly by. However, I'm afraid Shun Anyan is beyond saving. The emperor will definitely severely punish Shun Anyan to warn the Tong family."

The eldest prince nodded indifferently. Those who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters. Kangxi would not kill Shun Anyan. He could just wait until he ascended the throne and then rescue Shun Anyan.

"It's just that this will inevitably implicate me."

Mingzhu disagreed with this, "Misfortunes often bring blessings, this matter may not necessarily be bad for us."

The eldest prince knew that Mingzhu had an idea, and asked excitedly: "Does Prime Minister Ming have a plan?"

Mingzhu smiled smugly, "The prince still doesn't understand that the emperor is a king first, and a father second. We can all sense that it was the prince's handiwork, so what do you think is the probability that the emperor doesn't know?"

The eldest prince laughed unbridled, "The prince is really too clever for his own good. If he acts like this, the emperor will not let him off."

Mingzhu disagreed and said, “In my opinion, the emperor will not punish the prince now.

First of all, there is no evidence to prove that the prince did it;

Secondly, even if the emperor has collected evidence, he will choose to protect the prince. It is too despicable for a crown prince to use such means. As long as the emperor does not want to depose the prince now, he will not let this matter have anything to do with the prince. "

The eldest prince began to frown again, "Are we going to have to suffer this loss?"

Mingzhu said cunningly, "Who said we suffered a loss? All our actions over the years have been consuming the emperor's favor for the prince. Of course, your affairs with Shun Anyan will make the emperor angry, but how can the prince's actions not arouse the emperor's vigilance?"

The eldest prince knew that he still needed to be patient, so he said unhappily, "Then let's just wait for the emperor to blame us?"

Mingzhu said shrewdly, "No, we have to go with the flow. Doesn't the prince want to attack us? Then let the emperor experience what it means to be the prince's boss."

Mingzhu knew Kangxi too well. He was a man who regarded power as his life. If the prince wanted to take advantage of the situation, it would only backfire. Kangxi would not allow only one voice in the court.

Mingzhu even hoped that the prince's gang would become more arrogant. The more arrogant they are now, the more miserable they will be when Kangxi settles accounts with them.

Sure enough, what happened next was just as Mingzhu had predicted.

Kangxi was furious at the Tong family's double-dealing and imprisoned Shun Anyan in his mansion for life. This punishment was severe enough for the Tong family.

Although Shun Anyan's life was not taken, he had been abandoned by Kangxi. Being abandoned by Kangxi meant being given up by Tong Jia. For Shun Anyan, a child of destiny, this was undoubtedly a fall from heaven to hell. He was no longer the eldest grandson of the Tong family who was admired by everyone. He was just a sinner, Shun Anyan, who was imprisoned in the mansion and could not move.

Perhaps they were frightened by Kangxi's punishment, so the Tong family didn't dare to do anything tricky anymore. Or maybe Tong Guowei entered the palace and no longer acted like an uncle, but bowed his head and admitted his mistakes to Kangxi, which led to his forgiveness.

Kangxi's original intention was to crack down on the increasingly restless Tong family. After all, they were connected to him by blood, and he couldn't just call for the killing of the Tong family. He also had to protect his reputation!

After his anger subsided, looking at Tong Guowei in front of him, with his head full of white hair and still running back and forth, Kangxi thought of Tong Guogang who died on the battlefield, and his biological mother whom he had no memory of, and finally softened his heart.

Kangxi said to Tong Guowei: "My cousin has worked hard enough over the years. My harem still needs someone to take care of it. After I finish my mother's birthday celebration, I plan to give my cousin the title of Imperial Concubine."

Tong Guowei was very happy to hear this, but he still said dutifully: "This is the emperor's family matter, you don't need to tell me."

Kangxi said emotionally: "You are my uncle, and Concubine Tong is my cousin. Why should we be shy about anything as a family?"

Tong Guowei was also moved and said, "I am sorry to have embarrassed the emperor."
