Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 160 The No. 1 Sinner in the World
Kangxi recalled, "The Crown Prince lived in Dezhou for a month and was inseparable from Suo'etu."
This made Kangxi feel betrayed. I summoned Soetu to attend to my illness for the safety of the crown prince, but you two got together to rebel against me.
Kangxi still couldn't bear to blame the child he raised with his own hands, especially the instigating words of Soetu. What does it mean to just protect yourself? Those who don't know would think that this is not the prince of the dynasty, but a poor kid from somewhere?
Finally, for some unknown reason, Kangxi ordered Soetu to be imprisoned.
Hesheli Mansion.
Suo Etu listened to Kangxi's instructions. Kangxi asked, "Am I not good enough to you?" Suo Etu had no way to defend himself, so he surrendered.
Soetu had long anticipated this day, but he did not expect it to come so soon. Before he could find enough men and horses for the prince, he was discovered by Kangxi.
Soetu had arranged a backup plan, but when he saw that the entire Hesheli Mansion was surrounded, he went to find the prince in panic.
The prince was so well-informed, how could he not have heard the news that Soetu was imprisoned? However, Kangxi charged him with "forming a clique and acting recklessly, discussing state affairs" and described him as "the number one criminal in the world". No one was allowed to visit him in prison, so the prince could only appease his clique first and then think of a solution.
The backhander found the crown prince and conveyed Soe's intention to him. If Kangxi punished Soetu and Hesheli, the crown prince should not act rashly. The most important thing is to protect himself and preserve his strength.
After listening to Soetu's instructions, the prince calmed down in the study alone. He Yuzhu was guarding outside alone, listening to the crackling sounds inside, which was not surprising.
The prince was never a good-tempered person, and he would beat and scold the palace maids he disliked. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the people in Yuqing Palace were replaced several times a year on average. If you were surrounded by disposable items, and they were all Kangxi's spies, it would be hard not to be angry, right?
Every time Kangxi felt that the prince was not good, he would always vent his anger on the people around the prince, and then he would replace the servants in Yuqing Palace. If He Yuzhu had not served the prince since he was a child, he would have been replaced for fear of the prince's rebellion.
He Yuzhu stood outside the door and sighed, everyone said that being a prince is a blessing, Kangxi specially built the East Palace for the prince's status, and the Yuqing Palace is only the size of a palm, not even as big as the palace in the harem. If the prince turns over in there, people outside can hear it immediately. Is this the crown prince?
I don't know if His Highness can hold out through this crisis. He Yuzhu is not worried about his future. If it weren't for the Crown Prince's protection, he would have turned into a handful of earth like his colleagues more than a decade ago. Why think so much?
The prince sat in the ruins in despair. He threw everything he could, but what was the use? He was just incompetent and furious.
It was not until this time that the prince understood Suo Etu's worries. He did not have military power. If he had, he would not have to wait for Kangxi to take action. If he could strike first...
When this idea popped up, the prince was shocked. That was his father, how could he have such a rebellious idea?
But is there really any father-son relationship left? the prince asked himself.
After an unknown amount of time, He Yuzhu heard a hoarse voice from inside, "He Yuzhu, come in and clean up."
He Yuzhu led his men into the study, which was littered with ceramic fragments and the prince's hands were bleeding.
He Yuzhu was shocked. "How did your Highness get hurt? I will go get the imperial physician for you right away."
The prince stopped him expressionlessly, "It's just a cut, just bandage it for me."
Although the prince knew that Kangxi could not hide what happened in Yuqing Palace, everyone was paying attention to Yuqing Palace now, and the prince had no intention of changing his career to be a monkey and be laughed at by others.
He Yuzhu checked the wound on the prince's palm. Fortunately, the cut was not deep. He bandaged the wound gently and asked, "Your Highness, would you like to have dinner?"
The prince could no longer feel hungry, but he still had to eat, otherwise his body would not be able to hold on.
The delicacies served from the imperial kitchen tasted like wax in the prince's mouth.
The prince didn't know how he finished the meal. Looking at the food on the table, he suddenly said, "I wonder if my uncle was treated harshly?"
Who would dare to respond to this? That was Suo Etu, who was called "the greatest sinner in the world" by Emperor Kangxi.
Some timid palace maids were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground, and were pulled down by He Yuzhu at his signal.
He Yuzhu asked kindly, "Your Highness, would you like me to help Lord Suo Etu?"
The prince knew that the best way now was to protect himself. As long as he was still the prince, he would always have a chance to make a comeback.
But is there still a chance? The prince asked himself. If he were Kangxi, if he just wanted to deal with Suo Etu, he would not have convicted him of forming a clique for personal gain. Suo Etu committed so many serious crimes, why did Kangxi only bring up this one?
The prince saw clearly that Kangxi was afraid that he would have to deal with Soetu's followers. Who was Soetu trying to win over? The prince! It was not Soetu's followers that were being dealt with, but the prince's followers.
The prince didn't want to think of things so badly, but the reality would not change because of the prince's wishes.
Thinking of this, the prince said slightly frantically: "He Yuzhu, are you afraid of death?"
He Yuzhu thought about Li Ma's instructions and the good things the prince had done to him over the years, and said loyally, "I am willing to serve the prince."
He Yuzhu brought the disguised prince to Hesheli Mansion.
But He Yuzhu did not see the guards he had arranged, only Liang Jiugong who had been waiting here for a long time.
Liang Jiugong waved his whisk, and his men brought up a person who had been tortured. "Eunuch He, are you looking for this person?"
He Yuzhu maintained his composure and for the first time said to Liang Jiugong bluntly, "Eunuch Liang must be making things difficult for me."
Liang Jiugong looked at He Yuzhu, then at the prince who was hiding his face behind him, and said helplessly: "Everyone is just serving their own masters, but Eunuch He still has to consider His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Suo Etu has been convicted, and Eunuch He really shouldn't have too much contact with the criminal."
He Yuzhu gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the prince. The two returned empty-handed.
The guards around Liang Jiugong said flatteringly: "This He Yuzhu, relying on the support of the crown prince, dared to yell at you. He is really unruly. Why don't we arrest him and vent your anger for you?"
Liang Jiugong looked at the guard with a half-smile, which made the guard feel scared. Liang Jiugong suddenly retracted his smile and said, "Take him away and slap him in the face."
What kind of a nobody wants to take a bite of the prince? Don't you even consider your own status? It's unlucky.
Liang Jiugong returned to Kangxi, who was still reviewing memorials. He said without looking up, "Is it done?"
Liang Jiugong hid in a place where the lights could not reach, "I will not fail the emperor's orders."
