Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Kuixu smiled bitterly, he claimed to have learned the true teachings of Mingzhu, but still he met with a setback and lost all his cards.

If Kuixu feels bad, how can Mingzhu feel good too?

Although he didn't want to admit it, Kuixu was far inferior to his elder son Nalan Xingde, but Xingde died early, leaving Kuixu to support the family. The path Mingzhu arranged for Kuixu to take was not a path of a powerful official, as long as Kuixu could stay in the court.

Therefore, Mingzhu did not arrange for Kuixu to get close to the eldest prince, just to leave a way out for his family. Unfortunately, he was able to guard against the eldest prince, but not the eighth prince. None of these princes were stupid.

Mingzhu asked Kuixu, "Did you organize the nomination of the Eighth Prince?"

Kuixu hesitated whether he should say it or not, and ended up getting slapped by Mingzhu again.

"Don't think about your wise master, think of a way to protect your family first!"

Kuixu stammered, "Lord Tong Guowei and Lord Fucha Maqi are very optimistic about the Eighth Master."

Hearing these two names, Mingzhu felt relieved. Kuixu was not the mastermind and could still be saved. The matter of life and death was no longer urgent. Mingzhu began to break it down and explain it to Kuixu.

"The Eighth Prince has the support of half of the court officials. Do you think it is possible that the Emperor will not make him the Crown Prince or eliminate his power?

The emperor is old and soft-hearted, but he is not confused and knows the calculations of his subordinates. How do you think Oboi died? How was the Three Feudatories pacified? How was Galdan eliminated?

You have really lost all the books you have read over the years. Recite Mencius for your father again."

Kuixu recited slowly, "...Heaven will give this man a great responsibility...so he moved his heart and endured his nature, and increased his ability to do what he could not do..."

Kuixu couldn't recite any more. His face turned pale, and he seemed to understand Mingzhu's meaning.

Mingzhu looked straight at Kuixu and said, "You can only last longer if you can hold back your anger. How many times do you think the emperor has held back? Is it because those who are enemies of the emperor are not good enough that they fail every time?"

Neither, it's just that when Kangxi wanted to kill, he was always calm, just like usual. So when Oboi entered the palace as usual, he didn't realize Kangxi's murderous intention, which led to his head and body being separated.

Seeing that Kuixu had figured out everything, Mingzhu said meaningfully, "Now, do you still think that the emperor wants to stop pursuing this matter?"

Mingzhu took a deep breath and sat up. His face was rosy again, and he was still the wise prime minister back then. "I estimate that the eighth prince's party will be killed in the first month of the year. However, the leader Tong Guowei will be skipped, and Ma Qi will take all the blame. However, many of their Fucha family members have joined the army and have made outstanding military achievements. The emperor will not do anything to him."

Gyu-seo went back to his childhood and asked his father for help, "What should I do as a son?"

Mingzhu is also helpless because her descendants are mediocre.

"When my father dies, our family will mourn for three years and stay indoors. As long as you behave yourself, the emperor will give you a lighter sentence for the sake of your brother and me."

Kuixu burst into tears, thinking that he had implicated his elderly father.

Stimulated by the incident in Kuixu's account, Mingzhu had a few moments of vitality for a few days, but his body quickly weakened and he died before he reached the age of forty-eight.

When Kangxi heard about Mingzhu's death, he thought of Nalan Xingde and the troublesome Kuixu again. As Mingzhu predicted, he softened his heart towards Kuixu. As long as Kuixu was not the mastermind and behaved himself in the future, Kangxi would not pursue his stupidity.

In the first month of the 48th year of the Kangxi reign, the atmosphere of the New Year was still very lively. Kangxi asked his courtiers, "Who was the first to advocate the appointment of the eighth prince as the crown prince?"

The court officials did not expect Kangxi to make a sudden comeback, and they all lowered their heads and dared not answer Kangxi's questions.

Kangxi never fought a war without preparation. He asked Zhang Tingyu, "Mr. Heng, tell me, who said it first?"

Zhang Tingyu was the person sent by Kangxi to investigate the matter. Kangxi already knew the result, but he still wanted to make an example of him in the court.

Zhang Tingyu stepped out and replied awkwardly, "I heard it was Lord Ma Qi."

Kangxi sneered and called out Ma Qi, "Ma Qi, do you have anything to say?"

Ma Qi knew that something had happened, so he could only kneel down and take off his hat and feathers, and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Kangxi ordered, "Zhang Tingyu, check for me! See what good things my good ministers have done behind my back."

On the next day, Zhang Tingyu listed all of Ma Qi's crimes and submitted them to Kangxi.

Everyone understood that Kangxi had collected all the evidence long ago and was just waiting to deal with Ma Qi. Otherwise, how could so many crimes be sorted out in one day?

But there are too many followers of the Eighth Prince in the court. Even if they are not members of the Eighth Prince's party, who has not received the Eighth Prince's favor? Who has not said good things for the Eighth Prince? If all these people are counted as members of the Eighth Prince's party, I am afraid that two-thirds of the court officials will be wiped out.

Everyone was in a panic, fearing that after Kangxi dealt with Ma Qi, he would kill him off like he did to the prince's gang.

Perhaps sensing the tense atmosphere, or perhaps having planned it long in advance, Kangxi pardoned Ma Qi's crime and detained him at home.

In February, someone overturned Ma Qi's case, saying that he was wrongly accused, so Kangxi released Ma Qi.

In March, Kangxi reinstated the crown prince, announced it to the ancestral temple, and issued an edict to the world.

The prince received the imperial edict and walked out of Xian'an Palace where he had been imprisoned for five months. Looking at the sunshine outside, he just wanted to laugh. It had only been a short time, and he was already the prince again? What about the sleepless days and nights when he was imprisoned? What about his wife and children who followed him in fear?

The prince received the imperial edict and wanted to call out, "He Yuzhu..."

He Yuzhu had been beaten to death because he had led the prince astray and made him indulge in sexual misconduct. How ridiculous! He Yuzhu was only loyal to the prince.

It doesn’t matter, the prince thought, since the emperor always feels that he will rebel, why not actually rebel once? It would be such a pity to bear the crime on his body!

Don’t you think so, Father Huang? The prince looked towards the direction of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

Shi, no, the Crown Princess. After the deposed Crown Prince became the Crown Prince again, the Second Lady also received the imperial decree to be re-appointed as the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess came to ask the Crown Prince for advice, after all, a whole family was waiting for the Crown Prince to settle down.

The Crown Princess had not changed back into her gorgeous clothes. Seeing her still politely greeting him, the Crown Prince felt annoyed and said sarcastically, "As expected of the Crown Princess carefully selected by the Emperor, she will not be promiscuous in wealth or poverty."

The Crown Princess had no reaction to this. If she had been angry because of these words, she would have been angered to death by the Crown Prince long ago.

The Crown Princess just smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are too kind."

The prince punched cotton and ended up making himself very angry.
