Secrets of Yuqing Palace

At the suggestion of "someone with ulterior motives", the news that the prince went to the Qianqing Palace that day and asked the emperor to resign from the position of prince was spread out and even became a hot topic.

In less than three days, even the ministers of the previous dynasty knew about it, and some even submitted memorials to the emperor to inquire about it.

After all, discussing and changing the crown prince are both major events in the court that concern the foundation of the country, and as ministers of the royal family, they have the right to know.

There were also many confidants of the prince who asked the prince questions.

Yinreng looked in the direction of the Qianqing Palace and sneered with ambiguous meaning, with irony in his eyes that could not be hidden.

【I’m really anxious! 】

As for the court officials who came to ask questions, Yinreng dismissed them all by saying that he was "not qualified enough to take on such an important task."

However, thinking of those ministers who truly supported him and were truly honest and upright, especially those stubborn old ministers, Yinreng did not want them to be implicated because of him and suffer in the future.

It was really those old ministers who accepted Confucian culture, such as Wang Fan, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the Censors Zhao Shenqiao and Chen Jiayou, who were too stubborn and single-minded. Once they made up their minds, ten oxen could not pull them back. Sometimes they were even stubborn when facing the emperor.

So Yinreng privately hinted and reminded them not to get involved in this matter and not to be involved in the issue of succession in the future.

However, those who inquired included not only court officials and relatives, but also brothers.

Especially those brothers with whom he had a good relationship, such as Yinzhen, Yin'er and others.

Yinreng didn't say much, but just told them that he had made up his mind and would explain to them after the matter was settled.

In this way, everyone knew that it was the prince himself who insisted on resigning from the throne.

Kangxi was very satisfied with Yinreng's performance.

In the court, someone publicly proposed that the crown prince take the initiative to request to be deposed from the throne, hoping that the emperor and the crown prince would give everyone a definite answer.

Kangxi said sadly: "I am also saddened by the things that have deceived my dear ministers."

"It just so happens that all of you are here now, so please advise the Crown Prince on my behalf."

"Changing the crown prince is a matter of great importance to the country and is no joke."

"The Crown Prince was personally raised and taught by me. He is truly a filial and intelligent man. I am deeply pleased with him and have high hopes for him."

"But the Crown Prince is determined to resign, and I can do nothing about it!"

At this time, Yinreng deeply understood a sentence that Xiaofujin had mentioned many times.

When people are extremely speechless, they really want to laugh!

【Ah! 】

[You often scolded the unfilial people who coveted your power, and now you have become an extremely filial and intelligent person? ]

[When I heard you resign, I was obviously happy, but now I feel helpless? ]

"How could the events of the Qianqing Palace be leaked without your permission? How could it have become known so quickly, and even been brought to the court openly?"

[Khan Ama, oh Khan Ama, you really don't want to miss the slightest opportunity to take advantage of your son.]

[Stop! Stop! Stop!]

[Put everything on your son. If you're satisfied with your son's compensation, you won't be so stingy.]

As the ministers were arguing with each other, some supported the re-election of the crown prince, while others disagreed with the crown prince's abdication, and there were many different opinions.

Everyone had their own reasons and arguments, and they argued in the court until they were red in the face.

Especially the forces behind Lao Ba now, like hyenas that smelled blood, they chased after him without hesitation and were unwilling to miss any chance to eat meat!

Except for Yin'e who kept looking coldly at the various faces in the court, everyone else had different expressions on their faces.

While everyone was arguing, Yinreng suddenly walked to the center of the hall and knelt respectfully in front of the emperor on the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, I have made up my mind. Please grant my wish."

"Ministers, there's no need to waste your words! This is a sincere act from me!"

Yin'e was the first to stand up and kneel beside Yinreng.

"Khan Ama, since the Crown Prince has made his decision, why don't you just grant his wish?"

The others looked at Yin'e in disbelief.

Some people suspected that Yin'e had ideas about the throne, some people thought it was stupid for Yin'e to jump out now, and some people wondered if Yin'e had discussed it with the prince?

Everyone had mixed thoughts in their minds.

When Yin'e saw his tenth brother stand up, he immediately stood up and knelt beside Yin'e, as he had heard his tenth brother mention him a long time ago.

"Khan Ama, I second this motion!"

With these two people speaking up, the other princes also knelt beside the three of them.

Some seconded the motion, while others remained silent.

No one said anything against it.

Kangxi sat on the dragon throne and sighed softly.

"Ah~"

"Prince, please get up first."

"I've said before, changing the crown prince is a major matter, and I need to consider it carefully."

Yinreng knelt on the ground stubbornly.

"Your Majesty, although changing the crown prince is a major matter, Your Majesty is a man of great vigor and great fortune."

"With the Emperor here, the position of Crown Prince is temporarily vacant, which does not have a significant impact on the government."

"Please grant me your blessing, Your Majesty!"

Kangxi suddenly stood up from the dragon throne and looked at the prince below, his face full of disappointment and anger at his prince's lack of fighting spirit.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the prince tremblingly.

"you!"

"You...you...are really stubborn!"

"Humph!"

"I will consider this matter myself, and I will withdraw from the court!"

He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave, not caring about the rest of the people in the hall.

After the emperor left, the eighth prince Yinsi stood up and walked to the prince in a pretentious manner.

"Second brother, please get up quickly."

"Khan Ama loves you the most and is reluctant to abolish your position as crown prince."

"You are so stubborn today, I am afraid you have made Khan Ama sad."

"If you really want to resign the throne, you still need Khan Ama's approval. It's better not to make Khan Ama angry for now."

Yinreng stood up directly without even looking at Yinsi, but only looked at Yinzhen, Yin'er and others.

"I'm leaving first."

"You guys should go back too."

Then he just turned around and left.

Yinsi looked at the arrogant and self-righteous prince, who had no regard for him at all, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

[Hmph~]

[Yinreng! When I become the crown prince and then the emperor, I'll see how you still act so proudly!]

Hiding the resentment and ambition in his eyes, Yinsi spoke gently and respectfully to the other brothers.

"Brothers, I'll go back first."

He looked intently at Yinzhen, as if hesitant.

"Fourteenth brother, Eighth Brother will leave first."

"Come to Big Brother's house when you are free. It has been a long time since we brothers have talked and gathered together."

Since Yinzhen entered the Guard Camp, he has been either training or studying military books all day long, and his contact with Yinsi has become much less.

So after the starling said this, he touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.

"My dear brother, I have been very busy these days, so I haven't had much time."

"When my brother is free, I will definitely bring some good wine to Big Brother's house to apologize."

Lao Ba felt relieved when he saw that Yinzhen did not mean to distance himself from him.

He patted Yinzhen's shoulder and sighed.

"We are brothers, so why would we both ask for apology or not?"

"In your heart, is myna such a stingy person?"

"It's just that I haven't had a drink or chat with you for a long time. I don't want to alienate myself from Fourteenth Brother, but I don't know when Fourteenth Brother will be free. I don't want to delay Fourteenth Brother's work, so I asked Fourteenth Brother to come over to my place and talk to me when he's free."

Yinzhen laughed carelessly and said, "Brother, you know that Big Brother is not that kind of person."

"Don't worry, my dear brother, I will definitely come to visit you when I am not busy anymore!"

Yinsi smiled and said, "Okay, then you are welcome to come anytime!"

Yinzhen now has a very good relationship with the Fourteenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince has not retaliated against Yinzhen because of the Eighth Prince's argument with him. So although Yinzhen still dislikes the Eighth Prince, he has not yet reached the point of hating him.

Although he frowned at the contact between his own brother and the Eighth Brother, he did not intend to intervene directly. At most, he wanted Qingde to increase the training of the Fourteenth Brother so that he would not be so idle.

Yin'e looked at Fourteenth who was completely confused by a few words from Eighth Brother, and felt that his second brother was really good at predicting things.

If Fourteen continues to have contact with Eighth Brother, I'm afraid that something big will happen because of Eighth Brother in the future.

【no! 】

[We have to separate Eighth and Fourteenth in the future! ]
