Secrets of Yuqing Palace

After what happened in the court, Yinreng had already understood the emperor's intention.

He wanted to be deposed from his position as crown prince, but was unwilling to take on the responsibility and damage his reputation.

Therefore, Yinreng understood the elegant intention from the music and went to the Qianqing Palace from time to time to show that he had made up his mind and would never change it.

And every time, the conversation between the royal father and son in the Qianqing Palace would always be spread and known to others.

The only thing that happened was the last time before the crown prince was deposed. On the ninth day of the eleventh month, no one knew what the emperor and the crown prince said in the Qianqing Palace except Liang Jiugong.

Everyone only knew that the prince had a complicated expression when he left the Qianqing Palace.

There is relaxation, dejection, and a hint of depression and sadness.

After the prince left, the gate of the Qianqing Palace was closed by the emperor.

The emperor didn't even have dinner that day and didn't allow anyone to disturb him.

It was not until the next morning court session that the emperor ordered people to open the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

On the tenth day of the eleventh month, the emperor, while holding court at the Qianqing Gate, announced the dethronement of the second prince Yinreng from the position of crown prince.

On November 16th, sacrifices were offered to heaven and earth, the Taimiao, and the state, and the emperor officially announced it to the world.

As soon as this imperial decree was issued, the entire court was in an uproar and people's hearts were in turmoil.

But with the suppression of the emperor and the prince, all the sinister thoughts were suppressed in the dark, except for those who had ulterior motives.

Everyone was silently waiting for November 16th to arrive. Only after the crown prince was deposed could they plan for the crown prince's position.

On November 16, Kangxi, dressed in sacrificial robes, led the Crown Prince, other princes, civil and military officials, and went to the Temple of Heaven and Earth, the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and the Altar of Land and Grain with solemn expressions to offer sacrifices in turn.

At the Temple of Heaven and Earth, Kangxi faced the sky, holding a sacrificial text in his hand, and read aloud the decree to depose the crown prince, praying that the gods of heaven and earth would observe and bless the Qing Dynasty to last forever.

The content of the memorial did not mention any unvirtuous behavior of the crown prince. It simply mentioned that Crown Prince Yinreng felt that his virtue and talent were insufficient and he could not bear the responsibilities of the crown prince, so he asked to depose the crown prince. As the emperor's father, the emperor did not want to destabilize the country, nor did he want to go against the wishes of his beloved son, so he had no choice but to agree to his request and announced it to the world and ancestors today.

His words were sincere and his emotions were heavy.

When the emperor was reading the eulogy, Yinreng stood beside him with a stern expression.

Afterwards, the group went to the Taimiao.

The Taimiao is solemn and dignified. The huge palace door slowly opens, exuding an old and solemn atmosphere.

The Taimiao is where the tablets of ancestors of all dynasties of the Qing Dynasty are enshrined. It is one of the most sacred places for the Qing imperial family.

Here, Kangxi read the sacrificial text again, reporting to his ancestors his decision to depose the prince and praying for their forgiveness and blessings.

When Kangxi saw the tablets of the Imperial Madam and Empress Renxiao, the guilt in his heart became even stronger.

Finally, the emperor and his entourage came to the Sheji Altar, a sacred place representing the country's land and harvest.

Kangxi read the sacrificial text here for the last time, reporting the news of the dethronement of the crown prince to the gods of the country and praying for good weather, peace and prosperity for the country.

The entire sacrificial ceremony was solemn and the atmosphere was dignified.

Kangxi's voice echoed above the empty altar, and the content of the sacrificial text was then conveyed to everyone present through the messenger.

Civil and military officials stood in silence and listened, not knowing what to think in their hearts, but all of them looked shocked and regretful.

After the memorial ceremony, Kangxi officially announced to the world his decision to depose the crown prince.

However, it is clearly pointed out that it was the prince who requested to depose himself from the throne, and he was not dismissed because he committed a serious mistake.

The news quickly spread across the country, attracting widespread attention and discussion from all walks of life.

Soetu, who was far away in Shengjing, broke down and cried in his room after hearing the news.

Then he cried and said, "I'm sorry, Dad, your son is useless."

Sometimes she cried and said sorry to her elder brother, and sometimes she said sorry to Queen Renxiao and the Crown Prince.

Among them, Sony and the prince cried the most.

.........

After the crown prince was deposed, many people were discussing whether the emperor would completely dislike him after he was deposed.

While others were discussing the prince, the emperor quickly issued several imperial edicts in succession.

The former Crown Prince Yinreng was canonized as Prince Heshuo Jin, and the former Crown Princess was canonized as Prince Fujin.

The second legitimate son, Aisin Gioro Hongye, was made the Crown Prince of Jin.

The youngest son, Aisin Gioro Honggui, was canonized as Rong Beile.

The eldest daughter, Princess Heshuo Changfu, was named Princess Gulun Changfu.

The youngest daughter, Princess Zhaoning, was canonized as Princess Heshuo Zhaoning.

Moreover, the two princesses were ordered not to marry into the Mongols.

There were a lot of first-rate titles distributed, and even his two daughters would be married in Beijing, which meant that their marriages would definitely be the best.

After all, they are all princesses, and one of them is a Princess Gulun.

The emperor had more than ten daughters, but only one of them was Princess Rongxian. In the 48th year, she was made an exception and was given the title of Princess Gulun. The rest were all Princess Heshuo.

Every child in the prince's family has a title, and even among the three sons and two daughters, there are two princes, one Gulun Princess, and one Heshuo Princess!

This is already the highest title among the royal heirs. Without any struggle, they have reached the pinnacle of life. The prince's family occupies four of them.

The remaining prince Honggui, who is only three years old, is already a Beile.

In the future, when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will show favor to his brothers, especially the former prince's family, who are special and have no other titles to offer. Wouldn't it fall on the youngest one?

In this way, Rong Beile, who is only three years old now, will at least be a prince after the new emperor ascends the throne!

Look! Look!

The Emperor is so partial, who would dare to say that the Crown Prince has fallen out of favor after being deposed?!

Even after the imperial edict of conferring nobility, the emperor could not wait to divide a large area of ​​land at the foot of the Forbidden City, not far from the Imperial City.

In order to make his most beloved son and grandson live comfortably, he also ordered the surrounding bannermen to be specially arranged to live elsewhere.

He cleared an area roughly the size of three princely palaces and asked the Imperial Household Department and the Ministry of Works to use the best materials to build two palaces for his son and grandson.

Before the palace was built, Prince Jin and his family continued to live in the palace.

In addition, near Changchun Garden, he gave his beloved son and eldest grandson each a relatively well-preserved large garden!

For a time, the entire capital was buzzing with discussion.

The prince was deposed!

But Prince Jin is more favored than ever before! !

Everyone: ???

For a moment, no one knew how to feel about Prince Jin.

Is it pitiful that he lost his position as crown prince? Is it a pity?

But, he seemed to have gotten more!

Should I be envious? Jealous? Or even resentful?

However, Yinreng didn't care what others thought at all, and he was very satisfied with the current result.

My life is safe, I have received the benefits, and my children are protected.

In the future, he would need to take his young wife to enjoy the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains in the Qing Dynasty and rest when he felt tired.

When I get older, I want to settle down and retire in the picturesque Jiangnan region, where there are misty springs, dense shade in summer, fiery maple forests in autumn, and quiet and peaceful winters.

Thinking about the first half of his life, which was full of hard work, suspicion, and fear, Yinreng was actually a little impatient.

Wanyu listened to Yinreng's description and also felt a longing for it.

In her previous life, she had to work very hard to survive, but in this life, because of her identity constraints, she has never been able to fully explore the beautiful mountains and rivers of China.

Now that she has this opportunity, she can travel around and see things without any worries, and she is naturally excited.
