Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother
Chapter 161 Zhang Mingde Case
Because of their old friendship, Yinzhen hurriedly pleaded: "Father, please forgive me. Please spare my eighth brother this time. My eighth brother has no ulterior motives! Besides, my second brother has been deposed, and my eighth brother is planning to become the crown prince..."
"You two are also accomplices of the evil, and you dare to get involved in the planning of the position of crown prince! Yin'e, do you still want to do those businesses? Do you still want the title? Yin'e, do you dare to get involved in anything just because you have the support of the Niuhulu family?"
"I don't dare!"
Kangxi looked at his two sons who had always been unruly with a headache, waved his hand and signaled: "Okay, go back and reflect on yourself! The eldest and the eighth son kneel for another half an hour, and I will deal with this matter after I have investigated it clearly." In consideration of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and the clock, he spared them this time.
Then things quickly took a turn for the worse. Zhang Mingde actually confessed to the heinous crime of plotting to assassinate the crown prince, and that the plot had even been planned before the crown prince was deposed.
In a rage, Kangxi arrested Yinsi and Yinzhi and handed them over to the Council of State for trial. At the same time, he imprisoned Prince Cheng Yinzhi, the fourth prince Yinzhen, the fifth prince Yinqi and the thirteenth prince Yinxiang in the clan house, waiting to release them after the case was fully investigated.
When His Majesty's oral order reached the Fourth Prince's residence, the whole place was suddenly filled with sorrow and even someone as calm as Yixiu felt as if the sky had fallen.
Seeing her elder sister fainting from crying and the concubines in the backyard crying, Yixiu took a deep breath and stepped forward to take charge of the situation. "Okay, stop crying! Our master is not the only one imprisoned in the clan residence. Besides, the queen is still watching over us in the palace. How could she let our master be imprisoned in the clan residence forever?"
"Everyone, go back and rest. We must not cause trouble for Lord Beile at this time. The servants in the mansion are not allowed to leave the mansion at will. Everything should be discussed after Lord Beile comes back!"
On the evening of the day when Yinzhen was imprisoned in the clan house, Honghui made a special trip back to the house.
"Don't worry, mother. Nothing will happen to my father this time! My son met the emperor yesterday. When he mentioned my father, his tone was the same as usual. Mama didn't seem to be anxious either. She just asked my son to take good care of everyone in the mansion."
Yixiu suddenly felt like she had found a backbone, and her heart was immediately put down. "That's good. Your father has always been cautious and is valued by His Majesty. This is an unprovoked disaster for him! Prince Zhi and the Eighth Prince are really hateful. They even involved in the plot to assassinate the deposed crown prince, and also implicated your father and other princes. I really don't know what to say!"
Honghui was not surprised by this, because this had happened once in his previous life. That time, his mother had been made the second wife, but the Fourth Prince's mansion was also in sorrow for seven or eight days, and finally ended safely.
"Yes, as for Uncle Thirteen, please tell Aunt Thirteen that Uncle Thirteen is fine and that the Emperor's attitude is normal."
After that, he would go to the clan house every two or three days, bringing meals and snacks, robes, bedding, and nourishing medicine, which made the other princes who were imprisoned in the clan house envious.
How come the eldest prince of the fourth family is so filial? Not to mention the princes under their knees, even their wives have never come to visit. At most, they have asked the servants to send gifts two or three times. There is no sincerity at all!
But they didn't think about it, the clan house is an important place, can the female relatives of each family come to visit without permission?
Honghui was an exception. He had obtained the Emperor's permission to come so frequently. By the way, every time he came, he would bring the things prepared by Aunt Thirteen to the clan house, so Yinxiang also got some benefits.
During the seven or eight days of so-called confinement, Yinzhen and Yinxiang seemed to have had a vacation, and Yinzhen earned enough hatred from his brothers! Looking at the expressions of his third and fifth brothers who wished they could take their place, Yinzhen felt extremely proud and profound.
What are you looking at? No matter how envious you are, he is not your son. If you want to be filial to your son, go back and raise him yourself!
This is what Yinzhen was thinking when he came out of the clan house.
At this point, Kangxi had already found out the truth. He stripped Yinsi of his title of Beile and at the same time had Zhang Mingde executed by slow slicing. He also required all the people involved in the case to watch the execution as a warning to others.
After this incident, Yinxiang became completely disheartened!
Although he was not implicated and was only imprisoned for a few days, his experience in the frontier and the various encounters after returning to Beijing burned out all his passion and ambition, and in the end he was left with only despair and despair.
"I have seen through it all. There is no father and son in the royal family, let alone family affection. Then what's the point of planning for the throne? In the end, I will be deserted by my friends and family and left alone! Ha! For now, it is enough to have learned a lesson. It is not worth it to be so upset for a mere throne." Yinxiang made the decision.
On the tenth day of the tenth month, his eighteenth uncle recovered from his illness and returned to the capital. In addition, his thirteenth uncle was not implicated. With these two happy events, Honghui was naturally satisfied.
Who says destiny cannot be violated? Now, the fate of two more people has changed!
It’s just that Uncle Thirteen seemed a little disheartened. There was no light in his eyes and he looked quite listless.
Is he scared?
Honghui approached him attentively and whispered a few words of comfort: "Uncle Thirteen, don't be sad. The Queen Mother is not angry with you, nor does she take her anger out on you. Yesterday, when I was accompanying the emperor in the study, I heard the Queen Mother mention you. She said that she hadn't seen you come to the palace to pay respects recently. I wonder what you are busy with?"
Yinxiang smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. The palace is in turmoil right now. My eldest brother and eighth brother have just been imprisoned one by one, and my second brother was just deposed a few days ago. I can't stand out too much."
"It's better for you to be like this. It's better to be still than to move. The court officials are all scheming for personal gain, and the eldest and eighth brothers have not given up at all. You have also seen that the eighth brother's house has been crowded with guests these days, and he has not learned his lesson at all! You, just let them make trouble, and don't get involved. The Emperor knows very well who they are and what they are thinking!" Yinzhen sat firmly on the mountain and added slowly.
"Fourth brother, you overestimate me. There are so many brothers in front of me, how can I get involved? To be honest with you, fourth brother, my second brother and the emperor have been in such a mess, as well as my eldest brother and eighth brother... I am still scared. From now on... I'd better take a step back." This is already a clear statement!
Yinzhen stared into his eyes and was silent for a long time before he said, "Thirteenth brother, you..." Thirteenth brother had a hidden ambition before, but now it has disappeared completely. Does this mean he has accepted his fate?
Yinxiang lowered his head and said word by word: "Fourth brother, don't try to persuade me. You know my temper. Some things cannot be forced!" For example, the throne and power.
Did Uncle Thirteen go back to his old path of not competing for the throne in his previous life? Although he was not implicated in this life, he still had a great enlightenment and realized the essence of imperial power!
But it’s better this way. Uncle Thirteen is straightforward and righteous, and the cold throne is not suitable for him to sit on.
