Secrets of Yuqing Palace

In the end, Kangxi ordered that Prince Yinzhi of Zhi be confined to his residence and not allowed to leave, and all supplies from the Imperial Household Department were stopped.

When the Eighth Prince Yinsi heard Zhang Mingde's outrageous remarks, he did not report them to the emperor. Instead, he was stripped of his title of Beile and demoted to an idle member of the royal family.

The fortune teller Zhang Mingde's crime was extremely heinous and he was sentenced to death by slow slicing. When the execution was carried out, all the people involved were ordered to be present to watch.

Unexpectedly, just as the case was over, the third prince Yinzhi made another memorial to Emperor Kangxi.

It was said that the eldest prince Yinzhi and the Mongolian lama Bahangelun conspired to bewitch the crown prince Yinreng, causing him to behave absurdly some time ago.

Kangxi was furious when he heard this and after further investigation, he found out that Yinzhi was the culprit in the Zhang Mingde case!

It turned out that Yinzhen had known Zhang Mingde for a long time and knew that he was a martial arts expert, so he bribed him to assassinate the prince.

However, he knew that his father had loved the prince the most since he was young, so he planned to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

After discussing with his staff, he decided to use the eighth prince Yinsi as the knife.

So there was the story of Zhang Mingde reading Yinsi's fortune.

Yinsi drove Zhang Mingde away not because Zhang Mingde asserted that he had the potential to become a great noble, but because Zhang Mingde had persuaded the eighth prince to assassinate the crown prince.

Yinsi was not someone who could be easily fooled, so he did not fall for it.

But Yinzhi still bribed Zhang Mingde and put the blame on Yinsi after the incident.

Originally, Yinzhi's plan was quite successful, but he did not expect that Yinsi would not dare to take the risk and would not dare to attack Yinreng.

Yinzhen himself wanted to be the crown prince, but his father had no intention of making him the crown prince.

Even the final attempt to push the eighth prince to be the crown prince failed, and even led Zhang Mingde out.

Fortunately, I made arrangements in advance, so even if the emperor is unhappy in the end, the blame will not be on me.

But in the end, it was exposed by Yinzhi, who even asked his father to investigate the matter of Zhang Mingde, which completely exposed his own plan!

Kangxi also didn't expect that his eldest son, whom he thought was reckless and honest, could actually be so shrewd and calculating for the position of crown prince?!

Thinking about his original purpose of killing the crown prince, Kangxi completely lost hope in his eldest son.

Yinzhen's biological mother, Concubine Hui, felt despair after learning about the disaster her son had caused.

He immediately took off his hairpin and knelt at the gate of the Qianqing Palace to apologize.

He also reported to Emperor Kangxi that Yinzhi was unfilial and requested that he be executed.

After all, he is the eldest son whom he has always had high hopes for, and Concubine Hui has been by his side for many years, so there must be some affection between them.

Kangxi could not bear to kill his own son, so he directly ordered that Yinzhi's title of prince be stripped away and that he be imprisoned in his palace for life.

Moreover, after knowing that the culprit was the eldest brother, although Kangxi also discovered Yinsi's ambition, he also knew that his previous judgment was too harsh, so he restored Yinsi's title of Beizi.

However, Kangxi himself did not expect that so many people would jump out just because he showed some intention of deposing the crown prince.

Now even the third son, who has always only known how to write books, has jumped out!

Moreover, he hit the vital point directly and disabled the boss with one move.

Kangxi sat on the dragon throne on a high platform, feeling extremely sad as he watched his sons scheming and acting coldly towards each other.

Thinking of the letter that the Dragon Scale Guard intercepted and sent from the Crown Prince to Shengjing last month.

At that time, he thought that the prince had listened to Soetu's instigation in previous years and wanted to directly seize power and usurp the throne, so he wrote a letter to discuss the matter.

Unexpectedly, the content of the letter was the prince's entrustment of his son to someone else!!

In the letter, Yinreng felt deeply that he was afraid that he could not keep his position as the crown prince, and he had let down the expectations of the Empress Dowager and the Hesheli family.

He was worried that with his downfall, the Crown Princess and Feng Sheng'e's children would become thorns in the eyes of others.

He couldn't guarantee that he could protect his wife and children, so he hoped that his great uncle could protect his own children.

Yinreng even recounted in the letter the difficulties he had faced over the years and the grievances he felt after his father's change.

It tells how he had to endure too much because of the position of crown prince. Not only did he lose his father who loved him the most, but he also lost his freedom and peace, and could only stay in the Forbidden City all day.

Moreover, he lived in fear every day, for fear of disappointing his royal father and letting him down in his teachings, expectations and love for him.

Unexpectedly, because of the imperial power, he became more and more distant from his father.

After reading the letter, Kangxi not only felt complicated and indescribable emotions, but also felt heartbroken when he thought that Baocheng, whom he loved so much, was now living in such fear.

That night, he almost ordered the prince to be released from Xian'an Palace because of heartache.

However, when I think about how he has become increasingly impatient in recent years and has less care and love towards his younger brother than before.

Furthermore, the power of the previous dynasty was growing, and now not only the court officials, but even Mongolia, began to want to bet on the crown prince because they were gradually getting older and the crown prince's position was solid.

This was something that Emperor Kangxi could not tolerate, so he suppressed his heartache.

But I didn't expect to hear the truth from Yinxiang and Yinyu later.

It turns out that the prince does not care about his younger brother!

Instead, he was the first to notice his younger brother's sudden illness, and he sent his own doctor with medicinal herbs and Western medicine to alleviate Yinzhen's condition.

But in the end, it failed to prevent Yinxuan's condition from worsening and he died.

Even the reason why Yinreng arrived late that day was because he wanted to bring a doctor with him to treat his younger brother, stabilize Yinhuan's condition, and delay it as long as possible until he arrived in Beijing, and then arrange for a folk doctor with good medical skills in Beijing to see Yinhuan.

But when he finally rushed there with the doctor and medicine, it was too late. Yinxuan had already left.

He was also angry with Yinreng because he was late that day and was unwilling to listen to his explanation.

Thinking of this, Kangxi felt even more guilty towards Yinreng.

Especially when looking at the court below, which was in chaos over the selection of the new crown prince, and his sons who were showing their ambitions, Kangxi's thoughts became even more complicated.

Seeing their brothers showing up one after another, especially after hearing the final truth, Yinzhen and Yin'er were extremely shocked.

They never imagined that Big Brother would come up with such a brilliant plan!

They thought they had caught Yinsi's handle first and then pushed it in front of the boss.

I didn't expect that this was the target deliberately pushed out by the boss.

Yinzhen and Yin'er both thought of the same sentence that their second brother, the Crown Prince, had said when he reminded them to be cautious in everything.

[Khan Ama's son, none of my brothers are truly stupid.]

Especially after seeing Yinzhen being deposed by Yinzhi, they agreed even more deeply.

【The third brother hid it too deeply! 】

Kangxi looked at the chaotic court and saw it clearly.

If there were no prince putting pressure on him, there would probably be more than just his current sons eyeing his position.

Moreover, the position of crown prince made them unable to remain calm any longer, and they all began to show their faces.

Thinking of the past father-son relationship, the difficulties the prince had faced over the years, and the misunderstanding of his wishes this time, Kangxi decided to release Yinreng.

In the following period, Kangxi not only ordered the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pay more attention to Crown Prince Yinreng.

He would occasionally be summoned from Xian'an Palace to the Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor, and the prince's two sons would often be brought along for meals and overnight stays.

In his conversation with his ministers, he not only explained that most of the rebukes he had leveled against the prince during his tour outside the Great Wall were actually misunderstandings, but also that he had been misled by treacherous people and had misunderstood the prince.

At that time, because of the death of the Eighteenth Prince, he was heartbroken and spoke without thinking, which caused everyone to misunderstand the Prince and cleared the stain on the Prince.

He even showed his intention to release the prince in front of the court officials from time to time.
