"You are so pedantic! Yinreng deserves what he has done for his crimes. I have shown great mercy by only imprisoning him out of consideration for the relationship between father and son. How can I be more lenient?"

"Yes, I am old-fashioned, but I know one thing very well. My second brother is my biological brother and he has taken good care of me in the past. How can I just sit back and do nothing for the sake of protecting myself?"

Yinzhen paused and said frankly, "Father Your Majesty, my second brother has done something wrong. I am not a person who does not know right from wrong. I will not try my best to ask you not to abolish my second brother's position as the crown prince. But as your younger brother and your biological son, I cannot bear to watch you and him become strangers!" To say that they have become strangers is an understatement. It seems that the two are about to become enemies.

Hearing this, Kangxi woke up as if from a dream, and the fear and dread he had felt over the past few days suddenly began to break.

Yes, no matter what, Yinreng is also his biological son, the legitimate son whom he carefully educated, favored and relied on! Yinreng's mistakes were also due to his excessive pampering and fear of him. Now that he has been deposed and reinstated twice, what way can Yinreng survive?

"Okay, I understand. Yinreng is still detained in Xian'an Palace. You will be responsible for his food and daily life. I don't trust anyone else! As for his wives, concubines, and children, they will all leave the palace and set up their own homes. According to the rules for Beizi, you will still be responsible for them."

Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief, finally he got the job done. "Yes, I will obey your order."

Even if he competes for the throne in the future, he is not afraid that his second brother will do something again, otherwise he would be ungrateful!

After Yinzhen left, Kangxi had an idea: his successor must be someone who can accommodate Yinreng, Yinzhi and other brothers. As for who is more suitable, we will see later!

……

At the end of November, Prince Yong’s Palace.

"Father, have you visited Uncle Er? Is he okay now?"

"I went to see him yesterday, and he was still the same as before, lifeless and silent. The light in his eyes was completely gone." Yinzhen put down the report in his hand, on which was printed the edict to depose the second crown prince.

Hong Hui was distracted for a moment, then replied: "Cousin Hong Xi and Cousin Hong Jin are not having a good time either. People always flatter the powerful and look down on the weak!"

"The Emperor is still angry and has forgotten about them for a moment. You should take good care of them on a daily basis and don't let them be bullied too much." The position of crown prince was vacant, and logically speaking, he should be very happy, but after seeing his second brother's disheartened look, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't worry, I know that I still have normal contact with these two cousins." Therefore, no matter how bad his classmates are, he will never be cold to them.

Yinzhen nodded, picked up the court newspaper and continued reading it.

——Next time you go to Xian'an Palace, tell this to your second brother. This will not only help Honghui get some credit, but also make your second brother feel more at ease.

Just at this time, Su Peisheng entered the study room, "Master, Furongyuan sent a message saying that Feng Gege is pregnant for one and a half months."

"Oh?" Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "As usual, I'll go check it out in the evening."

Feng was a gentle and virtuous person. Although she was not very considerate, she never caused him any trouble, so he still gave her this little face.

Seeing this, Honghui took the initiative to take his leave and walked out of the study in a flash.

"This guy is quite lucky!" He didn't care at all about his sixth brother or fifth sister who were nowhere to be seen.

Because he was talking to himself, Zhao Quanshun didn't hear clearly for a moment, "Big Brother, what did you say? I didn't hear clearly."

"It's alright. Go to Haitang Garden and bring my fourth brother here. Tell my mother that my fourth brother will have dinner with me today and will be sent back at 12:00 p.m."

My fourth younger brother is quite smart, but he doesn’t have much ambition. It would be better for him to start his enlightenment as soon as possible!

As for the Fourth Prince Honghan, who had been bombarded by his mother and brothers in turn, he didn't dare to offend either of them. He could only hold his little body and grieve in secret.

"woo woo woo woo……"

"Honghan, what are you dawdling for? Come over here and recite the lesson you learned yesterday!"

Hong Han's heart suddenly trembled, and he took slow steps forward, until he was finally pulled over.

What followed was the much-loved teaching session, which was almost the same as usual.

In the following December and January, the court was relatively peaceful, and no one dared to go against the Emperor at this time. However, just after the beginning of the first month, someone submitted a memorial requesting the enthronement of a new crown prince.

Kangxi directly rejected the proposal on the grounds that "the matter of establishing a crown prince is a big one and should not be decided lightly." However, from then on, the court was in turmoil, with various parties taking turns to make their own comments, and the court immediately became a mess.

As the fourth prince who was ranked high, had a noble title and was quite favored by the emperor, Yinzhen was inevitably affected in some way. Specifically, the number of people who sent him invitations and came to visit him suddenly increased, which really annoyed him.

It's the same today!

"Sir, the concierge received about thirty invitations today..."

Yinzhen frowned and waved his hand to interrupt him: "Send them all back, don't let any of them in!"

Deposing the crown prince for the second time is neither good nor bad. The good thing is that it vacates the position of the crown prince, but the bad thing is that the fight for the crown prince is completely exposed. As long as the emperor does not appoint a crown prince, the court will not return to peace.

But if the Emperor appoints a new prince, there will be a new round of fighting for the throne!

Yinzhen was quite troubled, and he was prepared for a long battle.

However, he soon didn't have to worry so much because someone helped him solve this problem.

That evening, Honghui was stopped by an official from the Ministry of Works on his way back home. After sending the official away in a hurry, he felt a little annoyed for a while.

"Father, my son was blocked on the way home today. What a scheming villain! He is so hateful!"

Yinzhen's face turned pale and blue for a while, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you, a treacherous villain, block the way of a royal grandson like you? Su Peisheng, spread the word that the mansion will not receive any visitors!"

"Wait a minute!" Honghui also felt annoyed, but he still had something to say, so he signaled Su Peisheng to leave.

"Father, my son has something to say. Is it appropriate for me to say it?"

Being so mysterious, what's the idea?

"If you have something to say, just say it. What's wrong with saying it in front of my father?"

Honghui lowered his voice and spoke solemnly: "As long as the imperial law does not appoint a crown prince, the mansion will not be at peace. If the imperial law appoints a crown prince, the mansion will most likely not be at peace! Second uncle was deposed twice in a row, and each time there were widespread consequences. My son is afraid that if it happens again, the Qing Dynasty will not be able to withstand the turmoil."

"Just tell me what you think!"
