Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

How can there be a crown prince for thirty years in the world? The ambition that the eldest prince had been eager to pursue since his inspection tour was finally realized. He finally deposed Aixinjueluo Yinreng, who had been the crown prince for thirty-three years.

Then, it was him - Aisin-Gioro Yinzhi who took over the heavy responsibility of being the crown prince and shared the worries of his father.

Without Mingzhu as his intelligent brain, the eldest prince had become overwhelmed by the victory in defeating the deposed crown prince.

The Eighth Prince took the opportunity to offer advice and help the Crown Prince. The Thirteenth Prince has been imprisoned in Yangfeng Alley. It seems that the Emperor will only be more dissatisfied with the Crown Prince. Just abolishing the Crown Prince's title is definitely not the final punishment for the Second Prince.

The eldest prince was convinced that what the eighth prince said was right. The emperor just needed a stepping stone, so he walked in front of Kangxi with confidence.

"Father, the criminal Yinreng has committed ten unforgivable crimes. He killed, insulted and beat the princes, and poisoned all the ministers and officials. He sent envoys to intercept the imperial horses that were presented as tribute by Mongolia. He indulged the husband of the wet nurse in corruption. He was lewd in the palace and had sexual habits. How can such a criminal live on in this world? I beg you to execute the criminal and I am willing to serve you, Father."

Kangxi was already distressed by the dethronement of the crown prince and the death of the eighteenth prince. Now he heard the eldest prince's request to kill the crown prince. Kangxi's eyes went dark and he was supported by Liang Jiugong beside him.

Kangxi suppressed the splitting headache and angrily rebuked the eldest prince, "You are ignorant of the righteousness between monarch and minister, and do not care about the affection between father and son. This is unacceptable under the laws of heaven and the country."

The eldest prince did not expect that he would be scolded by Kangxi. When the emperor heard his plan, shouldn't he kill the prince and make him the new prince? Why did Kangxi react like this?

In front of the furious Kangxi, the eldest prince suddenly realized that Kangxi would never want to bear the reputation of killing his son, and would never appoint a prince who killed his brothers. He was betrayed by the eighth prince.

Kangxi took a few deep breaths, sneered and asked the eldest prince who was kneeling on the ground, "Since Prince Zhi wants to share his father's worries, why don't you tell me who should be appointed as the crown prince?"

Under Kangxi's murderous gaze, the eldest prince finally had a sudden realization and said, "I think my eighth brother is kind and fair, and is a good candidate for the crown prince. Moreover, Zhang Mingde, a famous fortune teller in the capital, said that my eighth brother has the face of great wealth and honor. I think this is the reason!"

Being born in the royal family means a lifetime of wealth, but the Eighth Prince can be even richer than that! How can he be even richer? The only way is to become an emperor.

Kangxi originally wanted to arrest the eldest prince on the charge of treason when he nominated himself as the crown prince, but who would have thought that the eldest prince would actually recommend the eighth prince?

This gave Kangxi a very bad feeling. He even trusted the deposed crown prince whom he had raised himself. How could he expect him to have any trust in his other sons?

The eldest prince stumbled back to his own territory. He was described by Kangxi as "unfaithful and unfilial", which cut off his possibility of becoming the crown prince. Unless he rebelled, the eldest prince had no hope.

The eldest prince pounded the table angrily. He treated the eighth prince well, but what about the eighth prince? On the surface, the ninth prince, the tenth prince, and even the fourteenth prince supported the eldest prince. Now it seems that they are just borrowing chickens to lay eggs. Without the pearl, how many of the eldest prince's party are actually the eighth prince's party?

Fortunately, the Eighth Prince was not able to gain any advantage. He wanted to step on the First Prince to gain the upper hand and really thought that the First Prince was made of clay.

On the second day, Kangxi summoned his sons to discuss the issue of the crown prince.

The eldest prince took the lead and said, "I think the eighth brother is the most suitable."

The Ninth and Tenth Princes were unwilling to lag behind, "I think Eighth Prince can be the Crown Prince."

The fourteenth prince seemed to be innocent and said, "My brother's reputation is well known in the court and the country, and he deserves the title of crown prince."

Seeing the current situation and Kangxi's expression, the Fourth Prince also voted for the Eighth Prince, "Eighth Brother has convinced all the ministers, and I also think that Eighth Brother is the most suitable."

Because of the age difference, Kangxi only summoned thirteen princes from the eldest prince to the fourteenth prince (the sixth prince died early). Now, apart from the eighth prince himself, there are five other princes who support the eighth prince. How many of the ministers support the eighth prince?

The Eighth Prince did not sense the coming of the crisis at all. After all, who would have thought that Kangxi would use the position of Crown Prince as bait to fish?

The Eighth Prince now felt as if he was in the clouds, otherwise how could he become the crown prince? With a last glimmer of clarity, the Eighth Prince refused, "I am not as good as you brothers say, and I am not worthy of the position of crown prince."

The Eighth Prince refused, but how could Kangxi not see the desire in his heart? Kangxi sneered in his heart, wondering if his son wanted to ask for the position three times and then decline it?

The Ninth Prince jumped out and said, "My Eighth Brother really deserves the title. Anyone else who gets the position of Crown Prince is unworthy of it except My Eighth Brother."

This was an exaggeration. The Eighth Prince was shocked and wanted to hold the Ninth Prince back.

Kangxi kicked the Ninth Prince to the ground and said, "What a man who is unworthy of his position. My eighth prince is treacherous and soft-hearted. He has great ambitions and forms a clique for personal gain."

The Fourteenth Prince raised his head and said unconvincedly, "My Eighth Brother is so good, is there anyone who is slandering me to Your Majesty? Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Kangxi was furious and pulled out a sharp knife. "What do you want to do? Do you want to force the emperor to abdicate?"

Seeing that Kangxi took out the knife, everyone came to dissuade him, except the Eighth Prince who was confused and didn't know what to say, and the Tenth Prince who was supporting the Ninth Prince.

The Fourth Prince, who was protecting the Fourteenth Prince, was kicked aside by Kangxi, "You are still protecting this bastard who disrespects his father?"

In the end, it was the Fifth Prince who grabbed Kangxi's legs tightly, stopping Kangxi's steps and the blade.

Kangxi also knew that he had gone too far today, and besides, there was still the Eighth Prince's party hiding in the dark, so he finally stripped the Eighth Prince of his Beile title.

The Eighth Prince was in a trance and was supported by the Fourteenth Prince. He still respected and admired Kangxi as his father, but today he was hit hard by a blow. It was normal that he found it difficult to accept.

The eldest prince mocked the eighth prince, "Eighth brother, are you satisfied with today's result? You want to be the winner, but don't you consider whether you are worthy of it?"

After saying that, the eldest prince turned and left. Seeing Kangxi's attitude today, the eldest prince no longer had any luck. Even the eighth prince, who had done nothing wrong, was killed as a warning to the others. Kangxi would not let go of his son, who almost made him bear the stain of killing his son.

The Eighth Prince who stayed behind stopped the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince who were about to cause trouble for the First Prince. He had indeed used the First Prince, and it was understandable that the First Prince was taking revenge now.

Although his title was stripped, the Eighth Prince would not give up. As long as he could win over enough court officials, what did it matter if he didn't have the title?

The Eighth Prince eagerly wrote letters to contact his followers and continued to lie in wait, waiting for his opportunity.
