Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Their mother's family was confiscated, and Yinzhi, Yinyou, Yinsi and others were all terrified.

Especially the fourteenth Yinzhen, who was anxious about the audacity of the Uya family, but was also anxious because of blood ties and the misfortune of his excellent maternal family.

In addition, the biological mother of his eldest daughter Yalichi is his cousin, also the daughter of the Uya family.

Seeing the uncles of the Wuya family being beheaded, his wife and children being exiled, and even becoming slaves to the armored men, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Not only was my mother confined to her house, she was also demoted to a noble lady.

He wanted to do something for his mother's family, but he was just a Beizi and did not have much power, so he had no choice but to go to his good fourth brother.

Yinzhen hated corruption.

Not only is his mother's clan greedy, but they also have huge appetites and even dare to touch the tribute!

In addition, after the affairs of the bondservants were discovered, Khan Ama became cold towards his brothers who were born to bondservants. Now no one dared to mention the affairs of their mother's family in front of Khan Ama, for fear of bringing bad luck to Khan Ama and being implicated.

Even Prince Heng and Prince Gong, born to Concubine Yi, and the thirteenth brother, born to Concubine Min, are now neglected by Khan Ama.

The Zhangjia clan and the Guoluoluo clan were both far away in Shengjing and were not on the list of items to be confiscated this time.

Moreover, the Guoluo clan, Yifei's maternal family, was promoted to a higher position in the 26th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, but they are still neglected by the Khan, not to mention the princes who are now sensitive to their identities.

This made Yinzhen, who already had a bad impression of the Uya family, even more disgusted.

When he learned that his younger brother Yinzhen had come to find him, his face did not look very good.

Wanlin had heard Yinzhen talk about the previous dynasty, and had also heard Yinzhen scold the people of the Uya family in front of her.

But she was also aware of the different attitudes of Yinzhen and Yinzhen towards the Uya family, and she was worried that the brotherhood between the two brothers, which had been restored with great difficulty, would be broken again because of this incident, which would ruin her plans from previous years.

Therefore, Wanlin privately persuaded Yinzhen in advance. After all, the Uya family was his maternal family. If he acted too heartless, it would be detrimental to his reputation.

So when Yinzhen met his fourth brother, although his fourth brother did not look very good, he still discussed with him seriously how to solve the problem of the Uya clan.

He thought that his fourth brother looked unhappy because he was worried about the Uya clan, and did not think about other reasons.

I have even more recognition and respect for this brother.

He had always been aware that his mother and fourth brother had a bad relationship, and his mother would even often say bad things about his fourth brother in front of him.

She said he was an ungrateful person and had no motherly affection for her at all!

It was because he looked down on her background and thought she was a bannerman who was not worthy of being mentioned in public, and was not as good as Tonggiya. Not only was she trusted by the emperor, but she was also a Manchu noble. In his eyes and heart, he only had his adoptive mother, Empress Xiaoyi.

His mother interfered a lot in the affairs of his own family.

Even though he knew that his mother was often unreasonable and that some of her words were exaggerated, he had heard it so many times, and his fourth brother always had a cold face, so over time, there would always be some shadow in his heart.

So when he came to see his fourth brother this time, he was actually a little nervous.

But fortunately, Fourth Brother is not that kind of person!

He did not ignore the Uya family, and was even willing to ask his second brother, the Crown Prince, to let the people in Shengjing take better care of the remaining members of the Uya family.

Now, the way Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen was more dependent than the respect he had before.

In Yuqing Palace, after receiving Yinzhen's letter request, Yinreng raised his eyebrows and agreed directly.

Then he wrote a letter to Shengjing to his great uncle Soetu, who was now living a peaceful retirement, and no longer paid attention to the matter.

His focus now is on the emperor.

On the surface, the father and son returned to their honeymoon period.

Although the father and son have been together for more than thirty years, the older he gets, the more unpredictable the emperor's intentions become.

He is still not sure now, is it because the emperor is superstitious about the bannermen issue, so he is unwilling to give power to the other brothers?

Or is it because of this incident that he became the only suitable heir to take over the Qing Dynasty, and he doesn't plan to continue to struggle?

Or is it that the emperor's current change is only temporary, and once this incident is over, when he sees that the ministers in the court support him, he will become wary of him again and even suppress him?

Because of uncertainty, Yinreng did not dare to act rashly and could only carefully observe the emperor's intentions.

In particular, what is the emperor’s attitude towards the forces behind him?

Unexpectedly, before he could figure out what was going on, the fourth son Yinzhen suddenly caught the emperor's eye.

Originally, Yinzhen's eldest daughter, Buerhe, was only conferred the title of Princess in March.

But in July, she was suddenly ordered by the emperor to be canonized as Heshuo Princess, whose status was equivalent to that of a prince's daughter.

The marriage between Burhe and Narasimha was even scheduled for September.

Not only that, after the Baoyi incident was settled, Kangxi ordered people to go to Changchun Garden to escape the summer heat.

After arriving at Changchun Garden, he also went to Yinzhen's Yuanmingyuan to take a look at his garden.

Most importantly, next year, the 52nd year of the Kangxi reign, is the year of the general election.

After returning from the Old Summer Palace, Yinreng played chess with the emperor at Qingxi Study.

The Emperor suddenly said with emotion in front of Yinreng: "I went to see the garden of the Fourth Prince. He has restored the Old Summer Palace very well. It has the scenery of Jiangnan gardens and is very refreshing."

Yinreng raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, placed a black piece on the chessboard, and then said with a smile.

"Although my third brother is quite fond of Chinese studies and has a bit of a scholarly temperament, my fourth brother is actually not much behind."

"He just likes Jiangnan-style gardens. They have a unique charm."

"I also know about the renovation of the Old Summer Palace. Every step and every scene in the garden was designed by my fourth brother himself, incorporating many characteristics of Jiangnan gardens."

"It not only demonstrates the grandeur of our imperial family, but also retains the elegance and agility of the Jiangnan region. It's a very nice garden."

"I quite agree with Fourth Brother's taste and vision."

He said with some emotion: "If I didn't have such a garden, I would have asked my fourth brother to help design it."

Listening to the prince's sigh, Kangxi paused holding the white piece, then placed it on the chessboard as if nothing had happened.

"This fourth son is good in every way, except that he has too few offspring."

"I can't compare to you, my second brother. You have three legitimate sons and two legitimate daughters. Not only have they all grown up, they are also filial and intelligent children."

"As for the fourth child, apart from Hongshi who is considered to be grown up, Hongli and Hongsheng are still children who don't know anything. I don't know what will happen to them in the future."

Yinreng didn't know why the emperor suddenly mentioned the fourth brother's offspring. After all, the fourth brother now also had three sons and two daughters, which was a medium number of offspring among his brothers.

Didn’t you see that the eighth brother next door only has one son and one daughter? It’s better not to talk about the origin of the prince.

He just couldn't believe that the wise and powerful emperor who held everything in his hands would not know that the eighth brother's son was a concubine's son, and was even the daughter of a courtesan!

After hearing what the emperor said later, Yinreng gradually figured out what was going on.

[Tsk~]

[Are you planning to drag the fourth brother out?]
