Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

The prince returned to Yuqing Palace. This was a warning from Kangxi, warning him not to have any contact with Soetu again. Kangxi was merciful enough and no longer pursued the prince's guilt in this matter.

But that was not someone else, that was his relative who had always firmly supported him. How could the prince do nothing?

The prince had no choice but to ask Kangxi for help.

Liang Jiugong looked at the prince in embarrassment, "Your Highness, the Emperor said he would not see anyone."

The prince said haggardly, "I'd like to trouble Liang An'da to pass on the message to me."

The prince has always been high-spirited and confident. This is the first time Liang Jiugong has seen him being so humble.

Liang Jiugong nodded and agreed: "I can only say this for you."

The prince looked at Liang Jiugong's back with gratitude as he entered the room.

Creak! It was the sound of the door opening.

Kangxi asked in a low voice: "Didn't I say that no one should disturb me?"

Liang Jiugong replied: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince requests an audience."

Kangxi did not confine the prince to his residence, so he was free to come and go. But Kangxi did not expect that the prince would come to him directly. He thought that the prince would find a way to gather people and put pressure on Kangxi in front of him, so that Kangxi could eradicate the prince's party.

Kangxi was silent, but finally agreed to let the prince in. After all, he just wanted to curb the prince's power, not to depose him. The prince was already in danger, and if he lost Kangxi's favor, it would destroy the court situation, which was not what Kangxi wanted to see.

After the prince came in, he respectfully paid his respects to Kangxi. He had been to the Qianqing Palace countless times, but this time was particularly heavy.

Kangxi asked, "What do you want to say, Prince?"

The prince didn't believe that Kangxi didn't know why he came, but Kangxi still pretended to be deaf and dumb, "I came here for Suo Etu."

Kangxi couldn't even keep up his fake smile, "How come the prince is not clear about all the crimes committed by Soetu?" The prince whom he raised with his own hands was actually blaming his father for an outsider.

The prince said sincerely: "Suo Etu has made a serious mistake, but he is old and has retired to his hometown for many years. Please spare his life for his hard work for the Qing Dynasty."

Bang! A teacup flew past the prince's cheek and shattered behind him.

Kangxi said angrily: "Suo Etu has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, but these have been offset by the mistakes he made when he was young. Now he is stubborn and refuses to change his ways. Prince, do you want me to forgive him?"

Twenty years ago, Soetu was dismissed by Kangxi for competing with Mingzhu and forming a clique for personal gain. However, Kangxi chose to reuse him again. But twenty years later, Soetu fell into trouble again for recruiting many cliques.

The prince was not convinced by this explanation. Why was Soetu the only one who did this in the court? Didn't Mingzhu do it too? Didn't his good brothers do it too? Why was Soetu the only one punished? Wasn't it because Kangxi didn't like him as the prince?

Moreover, the crown prince did not intend to reinstate Suo Etu, but just spared his life. Wouldn't Kangxi be willing to do that? Suo Etu was also the one who accompanied Kangxi through all the ups and downs!

The prince didn't say anything, but how could Kangxi not feel his emotions?

Kangxi's hands were shaking with anger. He pointed at the crown prince and asked, "Why are you dissatisfied with my handling of the case? Or do you want to be my boss?"

These words were heartbreaking. Kangxi was saying that the prince wanted to usurp the throne.

The prince listened to Kangxi's accusation, clenched his fists, and asked with a heartache: "Do you still remember that son's uncle, the uncle of the Empress Dowager?"

If Kangxi had taken into consideration the relationship between Soetu and the prince, things would not have come to this.

Kangxi was furious. "You are the crown prince, the heir to a country. How dare you protect your relatives for personal reasons? Is there any crown prince like you?"

If Kangxi had not dealt with Soetu out of his own suspicion and selfish desires, what he said to the prince would have been for the country and the people.

The prince laughed, "Father, are you talking about yourself? Do you know that the Tong family is betting everywhere? Do you know how many people in the Tong family have committed crimes in your name? Why don't you kill your relatives for justice?"

Kangxi's face flushed red, "Who are you accusing, Prince? I am the emperor."

The Emperor is wise and brave, and never makes mistakes. If he makes a mistake, it is only because he is deceived.

The prince looked straight at Kangxi, "What about Mingzhu? Doesn't the emperor know what Mingzhu is doing? Or what about Prince Cheng, why is he trying to win over scholars every day? The emperor is so omnipotent, he wouldn't know, right?"

At this moment, Kangxi took off the face of a kind father, and only Aisin-Gioro Xuanye remained, the master of this empire.

Kangxi glanced at the prince coldly and called Liang Jiugong, "The prince is not feeling well, please stay in the palace and recuperate!"

The prince did not resist and let Liang Jiugong support him out. His eyes were dazed. The person standing in front of him was always the emperor, so where did the father come from?

Liang Jiugong and He Yuzhu escorted the prince back to Yuqing Palace. Liang Jiugong whispered, "Your Highness, don't be angry with the emperor. The emperor cares about you."

The prince opened and closed his mouth, and finally said thank you, "Thank you Liang An Da for passing on the message today."

The prince will repay Liang Jiugong if there is still a future.

It was four months later when the prince was released from confinement, and everything had changed.

Soetu died, and so did his two sons. Kangxi spared no one from the Hesheli clan or Soetu's followers. The crown prince was now helpless and alone.

He Yuzhu got the news, but didn't know how to report it to the prince.

The prince said indifferently: "I only have the empty title of a prince, and I don't know when I will lose it. Tell me, what is there to be afraid of?"

He Yuzhu lowered his head and said, "Lord Suo Etu was imprisoned for four months. The emperor kept reducing his treatment. In the end, he was starved to death."

The prince couldn't believe it. He asked, "How did my great uncle die?"

He Yuzhu trembled and repeated, "Starved to death."

How funny! The powerful Prime Minister Suo finally died of starvation. The prince had never experienced hunger, but he had seen the victims of the disaster, who, for a bite of food, were like wolves, killing each other.

The prince wondered, would Suo Etu end up like this? Kangxi destroyed all of Suo Etu's dignity and made him wag his tail like a dog and beg for food.

The prince began to twitch and retch. This was the common ruler of the world, the emperor who held the power of life and death over all people.

In fact, Soetu was not as miserable as the prince thought. When he found that the daily supplies were getting less and less, he understood Kangxi's intention and cooperated with Kangxi to endure the torture for several months to prevent Kangxi from taking his anger out on the prince.

Finally, when Suo Etu found that he had nothing to give, he went to his death calmly. When he was dying, Suo Etu was thinking, what will happen to Baocheng in the future?
