In early May, the 19-year-old Fifth Prince Yinqi married his wife, Suochoolo.

In mid-May, Crown Prince Yinreng requested to be deposed at a court meeting, saying that he had no wife or children and was not worthy of the position of crown prince. The impact of having no heir would be very great and would do more harm than good to the Qing Dynasty, so he was willing to abdicate and become an ordinary prince.

When this incident happened, the whole court was shocked.

Civil and military officials all tried to dissuade the emperor, saying that the Crown Prince was a man of both civil and military virtues, and was the only candidate for the crown prince. Moreover, suddenly deposing the crown prince might shake the foundation of the country, so the emperor was asked to reconsider.

All the civil and military officials in the court knelt on the ground, speaking flowery words and anxiously trying to dissuade the emperor, but in fact they were cursing in their hearts.

Swearing very dirty words.

No, is His Royal Highness really ill? !

He has no wife and no children, isn't it because he himself doesn't want to marry and have children? !

If he had married the Crown Princess a few years earlier, the Emperor's grandson would be able to run and jump now, right? !

It would do more harm than good to the Qing Dynasty to have no heirs, so why don't you get married and have children? !

They have already accepted the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not interested in women and may have adopted children in the future, but you suddenly abdicate and let others take over. What the hell are you doing?!

 …

The ministers were outraged, and some could not help casting accusatory glances at the Crown Prince, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and looked so elegant even when he was kneeling. They were filled with disappointment at the Crown Prince.

What a good prince! Although he always gets involved in all sorts of messy things, making people wonder if the Qing Dynasty is doomed, he never makes mistakes when it comes to important matters. He takes care of all aspects of government affairs, is filial to his father, friendly to his siblings, and gentle but dignified to his subjects. If he had only married a wife, he wouldn't have to ask to be deposed as the prince!

All the civil and military officials in the court now only hope that the emperor will not follow the prince in making trouble. Deposing the prince is no small matter. It is different from the previous petty quarrels. Even if the emperor loves the prince so much, he cannot indulge the prince in making unreasonable troubles!

Sitting on the dragon throne, Kangxi received the eager looks from his ministers. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he lowered his eyes to look at Yinreng who was kneeling in the middle. Anger instantly colored his eyes, "How dare you!"

"Prince, do you know what you are talking about?!"

Seeing that the Emperor was angry, the ministers of the Crown Prince's lineage hurriedly looked towards Yinreng in front of them, frowning. They hoped that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would quickly admit his mistake and take back his words, so as not to really anger the Emperor who loved his son deeply.

Unfortunately, Yinreng could not receive their expectations, and just spoke again with a serious face: "Khan Ama, I am not worthy of the position of crown prince of a country. I voluntarily abdicate and let the position be taken by a capable person. I hope Khan Ama will agree to it."

I’m dying, I’m dying! The emperor’s face turned red with anger!

Hearing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince requesting to be deposed again, the court officials hurriedly raised their heads to see the Emperor's expression, and sure enough, his rage was already reaching the sky.

Kangxi was so angry that he stood up and stared at Yinreng with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Come here, the prince is outrageous. He will be confined for three months and his salary will be deducted for one year!"

After that, he didn't say anything else, just waved his sleeves and left, leaving only the words "dismissal".

Instead of being deposed, he was put under house arrest and his salary was deducted. Yinreng gritted his teeth in his heart, thinking that Khan Ama must have done it on purpose!

Take this opportunity to punish him!

If he was confined for three months, wouldn't he not be able to see his fourth brother and his family for three whole months? Would he not be able to leave the palace to visit his fourth brother?

At the beginning, Khan Ama didn’t say that he would be confined to the house!

Yinreng was muttering to himself, while Yinzhi, Yinzhi and Yinzhen had all gathered around him, pushing all the ministers who were about to step forward to behind them.

"Prince, what on earth are you doing?" The person who spoke was the Prince Zhi, who was known to be at odds with the Crown Prince. His face was filled with disbelief. "Are you crazy? You don't want to be a Crown Prince. Do you really want Khan to depose you?!"

That’s right, Prince Zhi is right!

The ministers listened with their ears perked up and nodded, agreeing very much with what His Royal Highness Prince Zhi said. They seriously suspected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ill, otherwise which crown prince would ask to be deposed?

Looking back at the many dynasties in history, which prince was not eager to ascend to the throne and become emperor? Who would give up the throne of crown prince for no reason?

This is definitely a brain problem!

After Prince Zhi finished speaking, Prince Cheng and Prince Yong also spoke up: "Yes, Prince, what's wrong with you today? You dare to say something like deposing the crown prince. Even Khan Ama is mad at you."

"Second brother, the matter of not having an heir is not a big deal. At most you can marry a concubine and have a few children, or let your brothers adopt one for you. It's better not to say anything like abolishing the crown prince. If the Khan Ama is really angry, then ... "

It's irreversible!

The court officials from the Crown Prince's lineage all nodded. Yes, that was right. That was the truth. Although the Emperor seemed to love the Crown Prince very much, if the Emperor was in a bad mood one day and the Crown Prince happened to run into him, and the furious Emperor really deposed the Crown Prince, that would be very bad.

By then, even if the emperor wants to revoke his order for the sake of his reputation, it will be of no avail.

"Brother Crown Prince, please don't say anything like deposing the Crown Prince or giving up the throne to a virtuous man."

Ninth Prince Yinzhen also tried to dissuade him, "Second brother, you have read all the history books, but you have never seen which prince in history had a good ending. You are the first crown prince since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. The brothers all respect you. As long as you are well and don't make any mistakes, we will definitely stand by you."

There’s nothing wrong with that. There’s nothing wrong with what Ninth Prince said!

A group of ministers with particularly sensitive ears wanted to go up and say a few words. In their dynasty, the princes did not fight for the throne or cause trouble. They thought that the crown prince would be the next emperor for sure, but they didn't expect that the other princes did not cause trouble, and the crown prince himself did not want to be the crown prince anymore. What was going on?

The more they thought about it, the more exhausted they became. A group of ministers felt that this was not a good idea, and they had to try harder to see if there was any way to dissuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from this brilliant idea.

Someone pulled Chang Tai, who was standing quietly, aside and said, "Master Chang, you are the uncle of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you have to persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Also, is Mr. Suo in good health? Why not let him come to the palace and talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

In desperation, some people wanted to try every possible means to bring Soetu over directly.

Chang Tai sighed and said, "I will try to persuade Your Highness."

But whether his advice was useful or not was not something he could decide.

Chang Tai covered his eyes, his heart was calm. Since the day he decided to take over the Hesheli family in place of his third uncle, he had been serving the Crown Prince wholeheartedly. He would support whatever the Crown Prince wanted to do.

Even if he doesn't want to be the crown prince, he, as his uncle, will stand on the side of his nephew.
