Prince of the Qing Dynasty

"I never thought it would turn out like this,"

Yinzhi has inherited Concubine Rong's honest and honest disposition towards others, and in his eyes, apart from books, he really has nothing else to pretend, "Fourth brother, you don't understand, what is written in Zhu Fangdan's book is really strange! I I have never read such a book before, but it is a pity that Zhu Fangdan will be executed, if not, I really want to meet him if I have the chance in the future!"

"I don't understand? What can I not understand? I'm not like you, I don't pretend to be anything but books all day long!"

Yinzhen tried a few words, and really found that Yinzhi was extremely slow in responding to this aspect, so he wanted to remind him, "Third brother, in the study now, besides eldest elder brother and Changquan elder brother, it is you, you You really don’t have to get along too well with them. You treat them well, but they may not treat you well! Look at what happened today, isn’t it just that Big Brother and Changquan Brother are using you to find a way for Prince Edward? You can’t keep looking at books, you have to look at people!”

"What's wrong with people?"

Yinzhi said strangely, "Fourth brother, why are you talking so strangely today? If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't talk to me so obliquely!"

"Third brother, you asked me to say this, so I will say it!"

Yinzhen wanted to say it originally, but now seeing that Yinzhi couldn't understand him, he just said it bluntly, "You and I both know that the elder brother and the elder brother of the prince have not dealt with each other because of that matter since they were young. These years, it’s just a matter of life on the surface, and we have never had a deep friendship. We were ignorant when we were young, and we both played together, so it was nothing! But it’s different now, we are both sensible, You also went to study in the study, and I have to go next year too, you have to know which side you stand here!"

"Elder brother Changquan and brother Changquan have been friends for several years. If you go, you haven't even clarified things between the two of them. How dare you accept what brother Changquan gave you?" Where are the books?"

"You mean, Eldest Brother has already made up his mind to use me to deal with Brother Prince?"

Yinzhi's mind is simple, and he has never thought of it like this before. He was a little surprised when he heard it suddenly, so he turned to look at Yinzhen, "Fourth brother, you mean, we have to choose people to stand in line now? Is this going to happen?" Too early? What's more, what's more, big brother is just big brother, does he really want to compete with the prince's brother?"

"I think that's the case. We don't know what happened back then, and it's not easy to say anything, but Big Brother and Changquan Brother used you. I don't need to say it. You know it in your heart. What happened in this book It's not so easy to solve! However, you don't have to blame yourself too much. I think, if you don't accept this book, the elder brother guesses that there are other ways to deal with the prince's elder brother. You spend all day with them in the study One place, sooner or later it will be spread!"

Yinzhen turned into a little analysis emperor in an instant, and sharply pointed out their current situation to Yinzhi, "Think about it, over the past year, you have rarely gone to Big Brother's side, and he is busy with homework and rarely invites you Go, but you have to go to Yuqing Palace frequently, don't you think that these big brothers can't see? In the eyes of big brothers, I have long believed that you and the prince's brother are on good terms! You and the prince's brother are good, big brother If the elder brother wants to harm the prince's brother, the prince's elder brother should be careful to prevent him from attacking him. The elder brother has nowhere to attack. It just so happened that you went. If he doesn't look for you, who will he look for!"

Yinzhi was startled when he heard that, he stared at Yinzhen, as if he didn't know his fourth brother, he didn't expect that Yinzhen was young, didn't read as many books as him, and was younger than him, so he could see this Many things to come!

He couldn't help looking at Yinzhen with admiration, and asked Yinzhen: "Listen to you, are you determined to stand on the prince's side? Don't you often go to the elder brother's place to play? I thought you Regardless of these things, so you don't intend to remain neutral anymore? I don't think you cared so much about the big brother and the prince's brother before, why are you talking like this now? "

Yinzhi wondered, he didn't remember how much Yinzhen had defended the prince, why did the fourth younger brother's style of painting change after only a few days?

"Look at what you said, I stand on the side of the prince, so I have to break with the big brother? If the big brother invites me, I can't say no, right? No matter what, we are still brothers with the big brother Ah! Didn’t you also accept the book that brother Changquan gave you? Even if I go to play, it won’t affect my team!”

Yinzhen glanced at Yinzhi, and said again, "Third brother, I only told you these things because I saw that we were all together. Anyway, you have to know in your heart, and you have to guard against big brother and the others! You Even if you don't get involved in these things, you have to watch with a clear eye and don't let them drag you down!"

Just now the crown prince told him not to tell what happened in the palace of the concubine De, he himself was unwilling to tell the story, so even if he saw Yinzhi's eyes on him, No doubt, he didn't intend to explain why he cared so much about the prince.

Anyway, he has made up his mind now, the elder brother of the prince treats him well, even if he can't help him, he will not run to make trouble for the elder brother like Yinzhi.

It is also out of this kind of mentality that he will tell Yinzhi these things with all his heart and soul. It is fine for Yinzhi to be taken advantage of by others, and to cause trouble for the prince brother like this. Now that he has seen it, how can he not say it? Woolen cloth?

Yinzhi glanced at Yinzhen, didn't say anything more, just nodded and said: "You mention the third brother, the third brother will remember it! Later, the third brother will pay attention, and this kind of thing will not happen again Already!"

He always felt that something happened between Yinzhen and the prince that he didn't know about.Otherwise, Yinzhen wouldn't have said these things to him.

After Yinzhi and Yinzhen parted, they were going back to elder brother's place, but after thinking about it, they suddenly changed direction and went to look for his mother-in-law, concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong was naturally happy when she saw her son coming, but seeing her son drooping his head and looking unhappy, she couldn't help asking: "What's the matter with you?"

Yinzhi was originally depressed and couldn't figure it out, so he came to complain to his mother-in-law. Hearing Concubine Rong's question, he immediately told Concubine Rong what Yinzhen had said to him, but he hid the forbidden words. /The book didn't mention that matter, Concubine Rong shouldn't know about this matter, besides, the crown prince said it would be resolved, but also asked them not to spread it, he should listen to the crown prince.

"Er Niang, my son only wants to study hard and doesn't want to get involved in these things. My son also remembers that Er Niang told her son not to get involved in the affairs between the elder brother and the prince, but the son thinks that Yinzhen These words are not unreasonable, now in the eyes of eldest brother, I am afraid that he really regards his son as a prince, if the son is still neutral between the two, it may be difficult to protect himself!"

Yinzhi said, "Besides, if I don't treat the prince sincerely, if I am blamed by the big brother in the future, I am afraid the prince will not help me!"

Concubine Rong was silent for a while, she didn't expect that Yinzhi was only five years old, and would be dragged into the struggle between the elder brother and the prince.She originally thought that it would be a few years later for Yinzhi to encounter these things, but she didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Concubine Rong thought for a while, then looked at Yinzhi and said: "Emiang said this to you before, Emiang told you not to meddle in the matter between the elder brother and the prince, because once you get involved, you At that time, all kinds of things will come out. Yinzhi, Er Niang asked you, Er Niang told you not to meddle in the affairs between the elder brother and the prince, and to be honest with you to the prince. Are the two things in conflict?"

Yinzhi was taken aback: "No...conflict?"

Concubine Rong smiled: "Of course there is no conflict. The crown prince is the crown prince and the future emperor. You should be honest with him. But you are still young, and if you can't protect yourself, how can you have the ability to meddle between the crown prince and the elder brother?" What about the matter? I usually see that the prince has a plan in his heart. He may not be unaware of your confusion, but he didn't tell you. Besides, I think the prince treats you very well, and you treat him sincerely Yes, what's wrong with being regarded as a partisan of the prince? Even if the eldest brother really wants to do something to you, it is for the prince, and with the prince here, he will definitely not let you suffer!"

"Furthermore, you only know how to read books on weekdays, so it won't work if you go on like this. If you stay with the prince, you can't do without experiencing some things! Maybe there is still a kind of training for you!"

Concubine Rong's confusion was nothing to Concubine Rong's eyes. She smiled and said, "I mean, as long as you don't cause trouble for the prince. You stay by the prince's side, even if you don't do anything for him, you just need to be with him." He, he must be very happy. The emperor hopes to see someone silently supporting the prince, and he doesn't necessarily have to ask you to do something for the prince. With the emperor and Mr. Suo around, the prince really doesn't need your younger brother to do it for him Early."

After listening to Concubine Rong's words, Yinzhi thought for a while, and felt that Concubine Rong's words made sense: "When I didn't go to study in the past, I always accompanied the prince to study in Yuqing Palace. I can see that , At that time, the crown prince was very happy that I could accompany him!"

Yinzhi envied the dutiful gentleman mentioned in the book, and envied those confidantes mentioned in the book.In his heart, he felt that the prince was his confidant, so he was willing to share with the prince some reading experience.It is most comfortable to read and discuss with the prince, and he can feel that the prince feels the same way.Until now, he has always thought this way, so he was also depressed, confused and embarrassed by Yinzhen's words, neither willing to cause trouble, nor willing to give up the rare confidant of the prince.

Concubine Rong looked at her son, whom she had finally obtained and brought up with great difficulty, with gentle eyes and a smile: "That's fine. You just do what you want, Er Niang will always support you. As long as you are sincere If you treat the prince well, the prince will understand it in his heart. Er Niang has been in the palace all these years, and she has been indifferent to the world, and Er Niang also does not meddle in their affairs. Isn't she living a good life? The reason is that, Er Niang only knows to be good to you Huang Ama wholeheartedly. Your Huang Ama knows it in his heart, so he will protect Er Niang. This is Er Niang's way of life in the harem. In fact, it also applies to you, your Huang Ama I'm afraid there will be many sons in the future, if you learn Er Niang's skills, you will not be difficult to deal with in the future."

"I looked at it coldly. The prince has the same temperament as your Huang Ama. If something happens to you, he will definitely protect you."

Concubine Rong didn't tell Yinzhi that Yinzhi was still young, and she was afraid of scaring Yinzhi, and she was afraid of giving Yinzhi too much psychological burden.

She has no competition in the harem because she will never be able to sit on the queen's position, so she lives a peaceful life and only knows to serve the emperor wholeheartedly.The emperor likes her, so her position is unshakable.Her position as the fourth concubine was rewarded by the emperor and also compensated by the emperor.

Ever since Concubine Tong was established as the imperial concubine, she knew that the emperor had no intention of establishing a queen.Presumably, the concubines in the harem knew this well, since there was nothing to fight for, naturally no one would fight anymore.The harem is gradually becoming peaceful. One imperial concubine and four concubines are enough to suppress the monsters/demons/ghosts/ghosts in the harem.

But this is not the case among the princes. The eldest son of the emperor is not the prince, but the eldest son is the prince. Can a person like the elder brother have no desire to compete for the heir?Even if Concubine Hui and Eldest Brother don’t have it, doesn’t Mingzhu either?Concubine Rong didn't believe that they didn't think about it at all.

Since the founding of Manchuria, from the Later Jin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for being established as a prince because of his status as a legitimate son.Not only the kings Baylor, but also the nobles and ministers of Manchuria, knew about this, even though they didn't say it clearly, they still wanted to ask, why?

The crown prince stood there shining brightly. After the emperor left, the future new emperor had already been decided. Does this make people who think about it uncomfortable?The crown prince is still young, in the days to come, there will only be more and more elder brothers of the emperor, the crown prince is a target, future brothers, who doesn't want to shoot an arrow up?

Her Yinzhi is the third son of the emperor, and her elder brother Yinzhen can fight, why can't her Yinzhi be contested?

Her Yinzhi's strength is not enough to defeat the crown prince, but it may not be that others don't have this strength!The emperor can protect the crown prince once or twice, can he protect the crown prince for a lifetime?The emperor is a loving father, but he is also a king. When the crown prince grows up and has a desire for power, can their father and son still be in harmony with each other?It's hard to say!

As long as Yinzhi can hide under the crown prince's wings and grow up safely, when the crown prince's wall is overthrown and everyone pushes her back, her Yinzhi can already be alone, so why bother with the crown prince's life and death, just sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman enough!

That's why she taught Yinzhi to be sincere to the crown prince, but she refused to ask Yinzhi to go to the front for the crown prince, wasting all her thoughts in vain.

"Emiang, tell me, the fourth brother is younger than me, I don't understand these things, how can he see it all?"

After hearing this, Concubine Rong laughed: "Si elder brother said that you are right, you are full of books, how can you have the time to care about these things! Besides, you are different from him, he Although he is the adopted son of the imperial concubine, he is also pitiful, how can an adopted son be the same as his own son! He naturally thinks more than you, so it is not surprising that he can see this."

Yinzhi was puzzled: "Emiang, what do you mean by that?"

Concubine Rong smiled and replied: "The fourth elder brother was given to Concubine Tong by the emperor since he was a child. He wanted to get close to Concubine De. Unfortunately, Concubine De has a sixth elder brother again. Naturally, he didn't pay as much attention to him as before. He might not be so sensitive. He has a serious temperament, and his temperament is brought about by this situation. He must have thought a lot in front of Concubine Tong, and I can see it on a daily basis. Can you stop thinking about it? When I say he is pitiful, I mean him. Concubine De is not from a high family background, but Concubine Tong Guifei is from a very high family background. No matter how young the fourth elder brother is, he knows that even if he is attached to his biological mother, he cannot offend Tong Guifei. Concubine! So, he is better than you at observing words and expressions!"

"However, apart from this, Concubine Tong has not treated him badly in other aspects. Otherwise, the emperor would not have allowed Concubine Tong to keep him. Now Concubine Tong has become Concubine Tong, and he has become Concubine Tong's adopted son. In the case that the imperial concubine has no parents, his status is the highest among you elder brothers! Think about it, with his status, would elder brother dare to harm him? Even if he is not on the elder brother's side, Eldest brother will never harm him, but will definitely win him over! He knows these things better than you. Besides, do you think the imperial concubine really won't teach him these things?"

Concubine Rong squinted her eyes and said, "The imperial concubine has never had any ill relations with the prince, and she and Concubine Hui have always been indifferent. Do you think she will go against the emperor's will and stand with the elder brother? The fourth elder brother wandered around behind the prince. It must have been taught to him by the imperial concubine. In fact, to the fourth elder brother, it doesn't matter which side he takes."

Concubine Rong warned Yinzhi, "Of course, the things he said to you are all good things, but he is not the same as you! He is fine even if he doesn't rely on the prince, but you can't, you are easy to be bullied. Brother is thinking about it, that's why I told you to follow the prince. Don't disappoint Er Niang's painstaking efforts!"

Yinzhi scratched his head, only feeling that what Concubine Rong said was much more complicated than what Yinzhen told him, but the confusion in his heart was finally solved, and he nodded immediately: "Don't worry, mother, I will I definitely won’t get involved in those things!”

-

After brothers Yinzhi and Yinzhen left, Yinreng was fascinated by Zhu Fangdan's book. He stared at it for half an hour and thought about it, but finally decided not to destroy it.

He stared coldly at the two sentences written at the beginning of Zhu Fangdan's book. If he guessed correctly, Zhu Fangdan's death was caused by these two sentences.Yinfeng felt that he should meet this Zhu Fangdan, because he needed to clarify some things.

He even had an idea that he shouldn't have, if he really wanted to save this Zhu Fangdan?
