Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

In mid-September, the emperor returned to the palace, and only the eighteenth prince Yinzhi did not come back with him.

It is said that he had just recovered from a serious illness and could not withstand long-distance travel, so he was temporarily kept in the palace to recuperate. However, only a few people paid attention to this news. People inside and outside the court were more concerned about the fact that the Emperor was determined to depose the Crown Prince.

After returning to Beijing, the deposed Crown Prince Yinreng was temporarily confined in a tent next to Shangsiyuan, under the care of Prince Yinzhi of Zhi and the fourth prince Yinzhen.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see at a glance that His Majesty did not trust the Prince of Zhi and that he still had feelings for the deposed Crown Prince Yinreng, but how many discerning people were there in the previous dynasty? The arrogance of the eldest prince's party was once so arrogant that it dominated the court alone!

Yinzhen was obviously very sensible. After receiving the oral order, he never left the side of the deposed Crown Prince Yinreng, blocking all harsh treatment and humiliation and protecting him to the point of being completely immune.

For two whole days, he stayed in Shangsiyuan and never set foot in the Fourth Prince's Mansion once.

Afterwards, Kangxi finally offered sacrifices to the heaven, earth, and the state, and deposed the second prince Yinreng from his position as crown prince, and imprisoned him in Xian'an Palace.

Not only that, Prince Yinzhi's inheritance rights were also stripped away in public, which also caused an uproar.

When the people of the eldest prince's party inquired, they found out that the Prince of Zhi had actually asked the Emperor to execute the Crown Prince. He was so foolish as to bring the "brotherly feud" to the table. It was no wonder that the Emperor deprived him of his inheritance rights in one fell swoop!

The dethronement of the crown prince was a foregone conclusion, but the situation in the court became increasingly turbulent. No sooner had the crown prince been deposed than someone took advantage of the opportunity to petition for the reinstatement of a crown prince.

"The position of crown prince is related to the foundation of the country and cannot be left vacant for long. Your Majesty, please appoint a new crown prince as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts."

"For the sake of the Qing dynasty, I beg Your Majesty to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible."

"We, the ministers, reconsider and request the appointment of a crown prince!"...

For several days in a row, the calls for the appointment of a crown prince during the morning court sessions were continuous and noisy, which made Kangxi feel extremely annoyed.

"I have my own opinion. We will discuss this matter later!" Did he think his life would be so short? He was not even given a few days of peace! What kind of crown prince was he appointing?

The sons have all grown up! They are vying for the position of crown prince, fighting against each other, forming cliques and seeking personal gain. It is so ugly!

I am a lonely man! In the end, I am a lonely man!

Kangxi was still disheartened, but he didn't know that his sons had developed ambitions in their hearts and the princes' desire for the throne was rising unprecedentedly.

However, this did not include Prince Yinzhi of Zhi. He had lost all hope, but he did not give up and set his sights on the eighth prince Yinsi, who had been raised by his biological mother since childhood.

He directly made a speech and recommended Yinreng in front of the emperor: "Yinreng's behavior is despicable and has lost the support of the people! The sorcerer Zhang Mingde once read Yinsi's physiognomy and said that he has a clear and elegant spirit, is kind and honest, and has a long and blessed life. He is truly a noble person! If we want to execute Yinreng now, it doesn't have to be done by the emperor's father."

Kangxi was furious: "I just issued an order not to seek the position of Crown Prince, and you dare to go against the order? Boss, are you turning a deaf ear to my words?"

"Father Emperor, among all of us brothers, only my eighth brother is both virtuous and talented, and everyone is convinced. He should be the candidate for the crown prince..."

Kangxi tried his luck and yelled, "Get out and kneel! Li Dequan, call Yinsi!"

Afterwards, Yinsi rushed to Changchun Garden in confusion.

"Yinsi, your elder brother said that Zhang Mingde once read your fortune and left you a piece of advice. Is that true?" Kangxi was very good at cultivating his energy, and for a moment Yinsi was unable to calm down.

Yinsi admitted on the spot that it was true, and at the end he said disapprovingly: "Zhang Mingde is a sorcerer, how could I take his words seriously? I was afraid that Zhang Mingde would go out and talk nonsense, so I brought him to my house. Who would have thought that he would talk more and more nonsense, so I kicked him out of the house a month ago..."

"Besides the boss, who else knows about this?"

"My ninth and tenth brothers know a little bit, but nothing else!"

Yinsi even felt a little regretful. The relationship between the Fourteenth and the Fourth was too close. He didn't dare to tell the Fourteenth about this maxim! Even the Ninth and the Tenth, he didn't dare to tell too much about it. After all, the Ninth had been friends with the Fourth's eldest brother for several years. Maybe the Ninth would blurt it out in a moment of haste.

Kangxi slammed his palm on the desk and scolded him harshly: "You think not enough people know about it? This quack has deceived the people with his lies and made false claims about the position of crown prince. He is so bold. Why did you bring him into the palace instead of dealing with him immediately?"

Yinsi was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot and pleaded guilty: "Father, please forgive me..."

"Go out and kneel down with the boss and reflect on your mistakes!"

After saying this, Kangxi was still not satisfied, and shouted loudly: "Li Dequan, go and ask someone to investigate the whole matter, and call the ninth and tenth brothers over!"

Half an hour later, Yinzhen and Yin'e hurried to Changchun Garden.

"Your son pays respects to the Emperor!"

Kangxi felt that he had nowhere to vent his anger. Even the ordinary greetings sounded particularly harsh to him. "Greetings? Ha! What kind of greetings do I mean? Yin'er, Yin'e, tell me, do you know Zhang Mingde?"

Yinzhen was straightforward and was the first to reply, "Father, Zhang Mingde is a sorcerer in the Bage Mansion. He entered the Bage Mansion two months ago. Although he doesn't have any great skills, he is good at flattery. Oh, by the way, he also read Bage's face and said that he is handsome and will live a long and happy life..."

Seeing that if Ninth Brother continued to speak, he would offend the Emperor's taboo, Yin'e quickly interrupted him and said, "Your Majesty, I and Ninth Brother have met Zhang Mingde once. He looks like a flatterer. I and Ninth Brother disdain to associate with him, so we don't pay much attention to his affairs. But that man should have been expelled from the mansion by Eighth Brother, Ninth Brother, is that true?"

After thinking about it carefully, Yinzhen said, "It is true! Zhang Mingde is so bold that he dares to say anything. When I first met him, I thought he was confused and tried to persuade him. But within a few days, Zhang Mingde was driven out by my brother."

Thinking of his elder brother and eighth brother kneeling outside, and also considering his ninth brother, Yin'e couldn't help but plead a few words, "Yes, Father Royal, Zhang Mingde is a charlatan who cheats people all the time. It was because of my eighth brother's carelessness that he was cheated by him. Please don't blame me!..."

Kangxi glanced at the ninth and tenth brothers who were kneeling on the ground with anxious expressions. "Humph! Was Yinsi deceived? He was obviously willing to take the people into his house, but then he drove them out when he saw that the situation was not right. The key point is that Zhang Mingde went to the eldest brother's house. How can I believe that he has no ulterior motives?"
