The prince only allowed me to have a baby, so the pressure is a bit high!

Chapter 341: When Kangxi and the Crown Prince saw the sky curtain (end)

Kangxi became more and more angry when he returned to the imperial tent. He had not yet found a way to depose the prince, but he ended up quitting first. Although there were not many people present tonight, he was so angry at that time that he did not even think of keeping him quiet. Now it seems that the whole camp knows that the prince is unwilling to do it and wants to go on strike.

What Kangxi was worried about at the moment was not that the prince was unwilling to do this, but that he had lost face, and it happened in public. After tonight, he didn't know what rumors would spread. After all, the prince said he didn't want to do it for no reason, so there must be a reason. If that group of people thought about it carefully, wouldn't all his little thoughts be exposed?

The world is huge and the face is the greatest.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had lost face tonight. Unable to sleep, Kangxi angrily directed at Liang Jiugong outside the tent: "You dog slave, why don't you come in!"

Liang Jiugong felt really aggrieved. He didn't know what his master had done tonight. It would explode at the slightest touch, even without anyone touching it. It was inexplicable. However, as a servant, his life was in the hands of his master. Even though he felt aggrieved, he still jogged into the tent cleverly: "Master, I'm here."

"Go, I can't sleep tonight, and neither can the prince. Tell the guards that if they find the prince asleep, they should torment me until I fall asleep."

Liang Jiugong lowered his head, but his expression was almost uncontrollable. Was the master crazy? Or had he regressed to childhood? This kind of punishment was truly unheard of. Even two ignorant infants couldn't be punished this way, right?

Seeing Liang Jiugong standing there motionless, Kangxi stepped forward and kicked him down: "What, you dog slave, are you questioning me or are you unwilling to listen to me? If you don't want to be the chief steward, there are plenty of people who can do it!"

Liang Jiugong had reacted this time and kowtowed to admit his mistake: "My lord, please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down. I will go right away, I will go right away." After saying that, he crawled out of the imperial tent and hurried to the outside of the prince's tent to announce the emperor's order.

"Huh? Eunuch Liang, you're not kidding?" The guards were also stunned when they heard this request!

"You bastard, are we that kind of people? This is indeed the emperor's order. You just need to handle it impartially and obey him!" After saying that, Liang Jiugong didn't dare to go into the tent to see Yinreng's face. He trotted back to the outside of the imperial tent to guard.

The emperor was in a bad mood tonight, so to be on the safe side, he had better stay by the emperor's side and guard him. He shouldn't be sent out by the emperor with an excuse. Otherwise, Dai Ling would find an opportunity and it would be difficult for him to come back.

After Liang Jiugong left, the guards guarding the prince's tent looked at each other in bewilderment. No one spoke for a long time. Finally, one of the boys from the Tana clan spoke up: "Boss, are we really going to do what Eunuch Liang ordered? That's the prince, right?"

The guard leader frowned deeply at this moment. Upon hearing this, he kicked the other person angrily and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? How could I not know?"

That's what he said, but if he really had to follow Eunuch Liang's instructions, he wouldn't dare to do it. He's the Crown Prince!

Yinreng had already heard the conversation between the people outside, or perhaps they deliberately spoke so loudly so that he could hear it.

After going through so much tonight, seeing the sky curtain was like his life fast-forwarding. At this moment, Yinreng's mentality had long calmed down, and he found the little actions of the people outside a little ridiculous.

However, he also understood the survival wisdom of the little people. Thinking that after tonight he might still be looking up to their happy life, why should he get angry with them for this?

"Don't worry, I won't sleep tonight. If you're worried, you can ask two people to come in and watch over me."

Yinreng spoke in the tent, and when the people outside the tent who had been listening attentively heard what he said, a look of gratitude immediately appeared in their eyes.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness." The young guard leader said this and arranged for several people to take turns entering the prince's tent. As for what if the prince really fell asleep? What could be done? Could he disobey the emperor's order? Of course, wake him up!

Yinreng was thinking a lot in the tent at this moment. He was thinking about his wife and children. Hmm? There was no need to think about that. Aside from his sons, Yinreng had no affection for his wives and concubines. Although his harem was not shown in the sky, he had never had a legitimate son in his life. The illegitimate sons only survived when he was imprisoned. I think this is closely related to the Crown Princess.

As for those concubines, they are just for entertainment and relaxation. Since they will be prisoners in the future, there is no need to pretend to be affectionate. Love whoever you want and do whatever you want. I won’t serve you anymore!

How many children? If I failed, my daughter would inevitably suffer the fate of Fu Meng, and I couldn't decide that. As for my sons? Hadn't I advised them not to fight in the tent? But which of them listened? Since they wouldn't listen, then let them be!

Hesheli family? I feel the most sorry. Because of me, several uncles dared not do anything big. They were afraid that the maternal relatives would become too powerful and make the emperor wary. Now they don't have to be afraid. With the emperor's character, even if they want to make a difference in the future, he will not allow it.

In the end, it was me who implicated them. I am about to fall from power in this life and can't help much. I just hope that the emperor can show mercy on me because I took the initiative to step down, so that the Hesheli family can continue to carry on the incense.

As for his fourth brother who took his place later, to be honest, he didn't feel much. After all, the fourth brother was just the heir chosen by the emperor as a last resort when there was no one else left. He was just a makeshift one.

Although he was filial to the Emperor all his life, didn't he still receive the Emperor's evaluation of being moody?

As for himself, since he already knew the future outcome, Yinreng was not going to make any more trouble. So let it be!

Over the years, he has tried his best to perform perfectly to meet the expectations of his emperor father. Even when he encountered many difficult problems while serving as regent, he never gave up or asked for help. He only worked hard and ruthlessly in secret. Now he thinks that he was really wrong.

In the following time, Yinreng only wanted to enjoy himself and be his true self. As for the rest, everything was up to the Emperor's wishes. As for the Qing Dynasty, it would not be his in the future anyway, so why bother with it? It didn't matter. Nothing else mattered.

That night, countless messages were sent out. Everyone knew that the prince had completely angered the emperor, and that nothing good would happen to him.

However, on the first day, the second day... the Nth day, when they passed by the Rehe Palace and met up with Prince Yu and the ministers who came to pick them up, there was still no movement from the emperor. However, the prince had indeed not appeared in these days. Not only that, he did not allow others to visit him. It can be said that everyone now knows that the prince is unpopular, but no one can explain why exactly.

At the same time, the Eighteenth Prince was ordered to be buried in a small mountain range near Rehe. Everyone originally thought that the emperor would definitely let the prince show up this time, but they were disappointed. The prince did not show up, and the emperor was not angry at all.

Huh? Didn't the Emperor and the Crown Prince have a huge argument over the Eighteenth Prince, leading to the Emperor being furious and imprisoning the Crown Prince? And even considering deposing the Crown Prince?

How come this is different from the message I received?

Many people tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well, and finally came to Liang Jiugong in a roundabout way to inquire about the news.

Who was Liang Jiugong? A man whose life and future depended entirely on Kangxi, not only did he not know what his emperor was thinking, but even if he did, he wouldn't dare reveal it!

What's more, that was the prince, whom he had watched grow up and who had helped him a lot. He was already very regretful that he could not help the other party at this time, and it was absolutely impossible for him to kick him when he was down.

Did Kangxi know what these people were thinking and doing? Of course he did. Even if he didn't, after the demonstration on the sky screen, he could easily find some evidence by ordering people to prescribe the right medicine. Moreover, he was currently struggling with what to do next.

If you ask Kangxi whether he loved the Qing Dynasty, of course he did! If you ask Kangxi whether he loved the throne, of course he did! But how could he choose between the two?

Now the best heir can only be Yinreng, not only because of Yinreng's personal ability, but also because Yinreng witnessed how the foundation of the future Qing Dynasty was destroyed.

Don’t say that Yinreng wants to be a lazy guy and not care about anything now, but Kangxi knows that once he sits on this position, he will definitely be responsible for some things, and the situation a hundred years later will definitely change accordingly.

What Kangxi was worried about at the moment was that he would be able to see from the future that some of his policies were wrong, such as closing the country to the outside world, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, cultural authoritarianism, and enclosure.

But letting Yinreng take the throne, watching him overturn his decisions and publicly confess his mistakes, was such a shameful thing, he couldn't stand it! !

Well, don't say that Yinreng is a filial son. He would definitely not do this. If it hadn't happened that night, Kangxi would have been sure that Yinreng was a good boy, but now? Kangxi was sure that the other party would prefer to watch things that embarrass him.

It can only be said that the person who knows you best is always the one who raised you. Right now, Yinreng is still living his life to the fullest, with a mindset of watching the joke. No freedom? It doesn't matter, there are no constraints in life anyway. No power? It doesn't matter, even as the crown prince, he doesn't have much power anyway. Once he doesn't care about these two things, do you think he, a crown prince, will care about anything else?

After returning to the palace, on September 20, the 47th year of the Kangxi reign, Prince Zhi was the first to lose his patience and ran to the Qianqing Palace to request the emperor to abolish the position of crown prince, and if necessary, he could help to kill the crown prince.

As soon as Yinzhen said this, Kangxi's anger, which was already burning because of Yinreng's attitude, was like adding fuel to the fire. Without any explanation or listening to Yinzhen's explanation, he directly announced that the Prince of Zhi would be stripped of his title and imprisoned in the palace, and he was not allowed to leave without being summoned.

Kangxi's move instantly calmed the restless hearts of the remaining princes. The emperor was just angry with the crown prince and had no intention of deposing him. Or perhaps the eldest brother's tone was too harsh and the emperor could not accept it.

After all, no father would remain indifferent when he hears that his other sons are going to kill his most beloved son with their own hands.

However, they did not move, but Kangxi made up his mind that this could not go on. After being reminded by Tianmu, the method of raising sons like raising insects was no longer feasible. What the Qing Dynasty needed for its future was not the remaining sons, nor the most filial son, but Yinreng who understood the future of the Qing Dynasty and could make changes.

After figuring out the truth, Kangxi personally went to Yuqing Palace where Yinreng was imprisoned. The father and son sat quietly together and talked in detail all night, and the conversation ended only when the rooster crowed at dawn. Later generations also called this night "Daqingming Night".

After this day, everyone in the court was surprised to find that the emperor no longer held all the power in his hands, but began to delegate power to the crown prince. At the same time, he no longer promoted his remaining sons, and anyone who showed up would be dealt with personally.

As for those sons who had no ambitions, they were all trained according to the wise king's arrangements.

During this period, something that attracted everyone's attention happened. That was that the seventh son of the prince, Hongchao, an unknown little prince born in the 33rd year of Kangxi's reign, was brought directly to Kangxi to be raised, and the prince acquiesced to this.

In other words, Hongxi's original position as the eldest grandson and the future crown prince was in jeopardy, which made everyone look at Yuqing Palace with puzzled eyes.
