[Qing Chuan] Have a meal in the harem
Chapter 69
To Yimin's surprise, the prince was not deposed immediately this time!
Although he was reprimanded by Kangxi for being unfilial and unfraternal, spying on the emperor, and escorted back to Beijing by the elder brother all the way, he was ridiculed, but he was not deposed.
Although many of his cronies were slaughtered by Kangxi, and the Hesheli clan were also raped and killed, he has not been abolished yet.
Although many of his benefits were gone, he was directly placed under house arrest in Yuqing Palace, and his entry and exit were monitored, but he was still not deposed.
Yimin: ...
It's just... quite overwhelming.
Especially when Yinzhen came to pay her respects, she was even more confused after seeing the obvious bruise on Yinzhen's face.
Hastily asked: "What's going on?"
Yinzhen smiled wryly, and said vaguely: "When he was begging the prince, Huang Ama threw something at him..."
Plead for the crown prince?
Yi Min felt that she had grasped the key to the matter!
She asked: "Is it you who begged the prince?" So that he was not deposed?
wrong.
Yimin thought for a while, felt that Yinzhen didn't have such a big face, and said again: "It's your mother-in-law!"
Only Zhuo Yuan, who is a queen, has enough identity and voice to protect the precarious position of the prince under Kangxi's wrath.
She stood up involuntarily, squinted her eyes, took two steps, and said to Yinzhen: "Your empress mother is right, this is indeed not the best time to get the prince."
Yinzhen was also taught by Huang Erniang in private, so he naturally understood this truth. He nodded in admiration on Wen Erniang's words on the face, but he also admired Wen Erniang in his heart.
He used to think that Wen Erniang was broad-minded, indifferent and peaceful, but he didn't expect that the other party stayed in the palace, and she could figure out the situation with just a few words.
Wen Erniang asked again: "Are you the only one who begged the prince?"
He quickly replied: "At that time, only Yinzhen, eldest brother, and third brother were present. Before this, Huang Erniang sent someone to send a letter, so that no matter what happens, just remember to comfort Huang Ama more, and then say something nice for the prince... "
Big Brother and Third Brother!
As soon as he said this, Yimin understood, how could these two intercede with the prince, they were eager to drag the prince down.
But... comparing the two of them, Yinzhen's image of being friendly to his brothers and sympathetic to his father should have left some impression on Kangxi.
Right now he is still in a rage, and when he calms down, he may not appreciate the behavior of the elder brother and the third elder brother.
After all, every father in the world must hope that his children will be united and friendly. The emperor is also a human being, so naturally there is no exception.
Yimin nodded, "Okay, I understand, you go back to the mansion first, you Fujin should also wait."
Yinzhen saluted again: "Then Wen Erniang paid more attention to her body, so Yinzhen took her leave first."
……
After Yinzhen left, Yimin sat down, resting her chin in thought.
Don't look at her confident appearance in front of Yinzhen, in fact, her heart is still messy and unorganized. In the final analysis, she just has a kind of obsessive belief in Zhuo Yuan, and firmly believes that what she does must have her own meaning.
——Does Zhuo Yuan feel that this is not the best time to abolish the prince?
Well.Right.
If the timing is really right, there will be no such thing as abolition and restoration in history.
Moreover, as far as Kangxi is concerned, the prince's previous faults will probably disappear with the "abolition of the prince", and even because the prince fell too badly, he will rebound and feel sorry for his son.
Although it is a bit outrageous, for Yimin who has witnessed the whole process of Kangxi's eccentric eye these years, it is...not impossible.
Only when the crown prince has not been dealt with the most seriously, will he keep all the estrangements that occurred before in his heart, and wait for the best time to explode.
After a while, she raised her head and shouted, "Call Yulan over here!"
Yulan came in a hurry after being summoned, and asked respectfully, "What orders does the empress have for the servants?"
Yimin asked her to listen to her, and arranged softly: "You have someone send a letter to both Yinyi and Yinzhen, so that they must not act against the prince this time, it is best to remain neutral, and if necessary, say a few words for the prince. It's not impossible..."
The eldest elder brother will definitely not let go of this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, and the third elder brother and the others will inevitably fish in troubled waters. During this period of time, there will be foreseeable turmoil in the front and rear palaces. Her family still needs a lot of two little salted fish Be careful, try not to get involved.
"Send a letter to the family as well, so that the third brother will restrain the family and be quiet, and don't make any noise..."
Most other families in the capital don't like to let their outstanding children go out to work outside, but the Dong family is a different kind of fireworks. Most of the men of the younger generation of the Dong family can't wait to run out as soon as they get married, scrambling to leave the capital to make a living. .
In the end, only Dong Sange, an elder in the town house, and a few young people who were not yet old enough to be released were left in Dong's mansion in the capital.
However, you can't usually see it, but at this time, the benefits are revealed. There are fewer people and more safety, and it is not easy to be noticed.
Yulan nodded, "Your servant obeys."
After she left, Yi Min went back to the dormitory alone, changed her clothes and lay down on the bed to take a nap.
But she didn't fall asleep, but sorted out the current situation in her mind.
First of all, the state of seizing the heir is becoming more and more obvious, and the most fierce fights are the crown prince and eldest brother.
However, the biggest forces behind these two princes were basically suppressed by Kangxi.
The Suo'etu behind the prince was chopped off by Kangxi, and the four haha beads who grew up together and were loyal to him were all chopped off by Kangxi this time in the name of 'instigating the prince'.
And Nalan Mingzhu behind the elder brother was dismissed by Kangxi long ago, and passed away in April this year...
Although the third elder brother also has intentions, but he is too bookish, and most of his followers are scholars. It is okay to write books and make articles, but it is a bit embarrassing to participate in the seizure of the heir.
The rest is the legendary Baye Party.
Yimin raised her eyebrows slightly.
Just, how should I put it.
The current eighth and ninth elders both grew up under Yipin's knees. Perhaps it was because the fifth elder brother was taken away by the queen mother when he was born, and the eleventh elder brother died young. They are all very pampered. Eighth elder brother has lived a pretty good life since he was a child.
In addition, Zhuo Yuan's biological mother has long been mentioned as a nobleman of Wei, and there are also many elder brothers in the palace whose biological mothers are nobles, such as: the twelfth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother... Therefore, the eighth elder brother is not inferior at all.
And he is... quite lively, especially after marrying Yipin's clan niece: Prince An's granddaughter, Guo Luoluo.He was very interested in learning from Xiao Shi, either traveling with Ba Fujin, or doing business with Lao Jiu.
If Kangxi assigns him work, he will finish it honestly. If Kangxi does not arrange things for him, he will not be depressed. He will only focus on living with his wife, playing and drinking with his brothers...
So far, he has no intention of developing into the Baxian King, and he probably won't in the future, because Bafujin is pregnant again. Following the experience of Bafujin giving birth to the eldest son five years ago, the old eighth is better. Those who stay at home with their daughter-in-law and children for a long time are not in the mood to hang out.
There is also the fourteenth elder brother known as the "General King" in history. He does not mention his mother's identity as a Han woman, but his character is purely fond of literature and dislikes martial arts. He is usually bad at riding and shooting , and was repeatedly reprimanded by Kangxi.
However, he just humbly admits his mistakes, and then, he will never repent...
——Compared with the nine sons seizing the heirloom in history, this scene is really too harmonious!
Although she really didn't want to admit it, Yimin knew very well that she was somewhat responsible for the current situation, so that for a long time, when she saw the eighth, ninth, and fourteenth elder brothers, she I feel weird.
After summarizing the opponent's situation, Yi Min got up again to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of her own team - the fourth team.
The first one is Concubine Yi and the Tong family behind her.
Originally, this should be the main player, but since the 29th year of Kangxi, Tong Guogang, the previous patriarch of the Tong family, died in the battle of Galdan, the Tong family, which lost this excellent leader, gradually became more and more popular.
Tong Guowei was not as good as his elder brother in some respects. The Tong family had offended many people in the previous dynasty over the years. If it wasn't for Kangxi's partiality, he would have been done by others.
and!
He also hedged his bets!
While booing and asking for warmth to the fourth elder brother, he hooked up with the prince, and sometimes even got in touch with the eldest elder brother. Even with the third elder brother, he had swiped his favorability several times.
Anyway, Kangxi is his nephew, and every elder brother is also his grandnephew. As an uncle, there is absolutely nothing wrong with talking about life and ideals with a few juniors!
I don't know what other people think, but Yimin can only suffocate for his operation—what the hell!
To sum up, it is basically impossible to count on the single-minded support of the Tong family. They dare to defect, but Yinzhen dare not accept it. Who knows when the other party will betray him?There is more than one good nephew!
Therefore, the Tong family put it aside for the time being, and can't count it in a hurry.
The second one should be De Fei's legacy and Wu Ya's clan.
Wu Yashi devoted all his attention to supporting the fourth child, but their influence in the court was still weaker, and more of them were still in the position of underdogs, so they could not count on big things.
——The third is Zhuo Yuan.
Yimin opened her eyes, and she gently rubbed her temples.
Zhuo Yuan is determined to support the fourth child, and based on her understanding of Zhuo Yuan, since she has chosen, as long as the fourth child does not do anything that makes her unbearable, she will definitely stick to it.
——Xinzhen, you must be good, if you are mischievous and offend your mother-in-law, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Among the elder brothers, the sixth and tenth sons naturally tend to favor the fourth son, and Zhang Jiagui's thirteenth elder brother...
Finally, she whispered inaudibly: "The Dong family behind me can also provide some help..." She may not necessarily stand in line, but it is still possible to give the green light.
She let out a breath, closed her eyes with peace of mind, turned over and went to sleep.
——Such a good deck of cards, why can't it be broken?
……
Outside the palace, Six Baylor Mansion.
As the second batch of elder brothers who were released from the palace, the sixth elder brother was not like the previous elder brothers, who belonged to Baylor first and then the county king.
His starting point was a little lower. He was granted the title of Beizi when he left the palace. He was awarded the title of Baylor by Kangxi after he went out of the palace several times, and he has no title so far.
The same goes for the younger brothers behind him, including the ten elder brothers born to Concubine Wen Gui, who also followed this process, but the old ten had an extra title of 'Dun'.
When he received the news from Concubine Wen Gui in the palace, Lao Liu had just come out of Fujin's courtyard and was about to go to the study to study.
When he received the letter, he was taken aback for a moment, then stood there thinking for a long time, and then told his followers: "Prepare the car and go to Dunbaile's mansion!"
……
Dumbele House.
Yin Yi was not surprised to see the sixth son who came to visit, the brothers had always had a good relationship and lived close to each other, and it was common for them to visit each other for dinner.
Yinyi smiled and said: "Sixth brother, you came to Qiao today, a new chef from Jiangnan has come to my house, just let him show his hands." Then he asked: "Why is sister-in-law here? And Xuan'er ..."
Brother Six had a very serious expression, "I have something to tell you, go to the study."
Yin Yi was stunned, and said "oh", without asking anything, he obediently went to the study with Lao Liu, entered the study, closed the door, and then asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
The sixth child asked, "Have you received Wen Erniang's letter?"
Yin Yi nodded and said honestly, "I got it."
The sixth child asked again: "Do you have any ideas?"
After saying this, he paused, looked at Yin Yi's obviously thoughtless expression, sighed, and said bluntly: "The crown prince can't see it anymore, and the boss may not be able to please, let alone the third."
He looked at Yinyi with calm eyes and a steady tone, "I want to help fourth brother."
Yin Yi's expression suddenly became serious, and he frowned, "Do you want to stand in line?"
You know, although they all support the fourth brother, they have never really been involved in seizing the heir apparent and party struggles. After all, the two of them are following the route of the idle elder brother, and they are not willing to live in peace in their hearts. Still, go to intrigue every day.
He was about to say: Sixth brother, forget it soon, do you think our brother can help fourth brother?It would be nice not to trouble him.
Seeing that the sixth child shook his head, he said, "Just to show my attitude, and then I will hand over the contacts of my mother's family to the fourth brother."
He said with a smile: "Although the Zhaojia clan is invisible, there are still a few people who can be used."
In fact, his wife's family is also a common surname in Manchuria, and there are more capable children in the family, but... the Shu Mulu family is not willing to participate in the seizure of the heir, and the sixth child does not force it.
"How about it, I'll go to the fourth brother's house later, do you want to come together?" The sixth child issued an invitation.
He is really optimistic about the fourth brother, and he also wants to take the younger brother tenth to improve his favorability. Although they are brothers who grew up together, relationships must be managed, even if it is a brotherhood.
Yinyi thought for a while, but it didn't take long, it only took a few seconds.
He said: "Then let's go together." It happened that he also had something to tell the fourth brother.
"However," he smiled, "I still have to ask Sixth Brother to wait for a while, my brother has to go have lunch with Yunna first, by the way, has Sixth Brother eaten lunch, if not, let's eat together... "
Sixth child: ...
Thanks no, I'm already full.
……
Waited until the Yongjun Palace.
Because the dog food is a bit full, the sixth child is not in the mood to be sensational, so when he sees the fourth child, he babbles.
Yinzhen:……
How should I put it, unexpected, but not so unexpected, not unexpected, but a little bit unexpected.
But he still smiled happily, and even patted Lao Liu on the shoulder to express the other party's heart. He received it and kept it in his heart. He will properly arrange and reuse Zhao Jia's people... and so on if.
Yinyi looked left and right, and after they were polite for a few times, he smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I also have some people I want to hand over to the fourth brother." After finishing speaking, he added, "This is also the eldest sister's hand." And the meaning of the fourth sister..."
As soon as he said this, Yinzhen and Lao Liu all turned their eyes to him.Especially the fourth child, combined with the content of his words, had a guess in his heart, couldn't help but move his Adam's apple, and suddenly felt a little nervous.
really……
Yinyi coughed lightly, looked at Yinzhen and said solemnly: "A few days ago, my younger brother received letters from the elder sister and the fourth brother-in-law at the same time. They specifically asked me to send a greeting to the fourth brother..."
Yinzhen exhaled slowly, revealing a trace of genuine joy.
Although their siblings have always had a very good relationship, the two sisters and brothers-in-law did not directly express their views on the matter of seizing the heir.
Then it is not only the meaning of support, but also the recognition of his strength and ability. Compared with the former, the latter is what makes him most happy.
After all, no matter whether it is Aya, who is extremely smart since she was a child, or Celeng, the fourth brother-in-law who has made great achievements in military affairs, they are all people worthy of respect in Yinzhen's heart. If he can get the affirmation of the other party, he will have more confidence in himself.
……
A month later, Chengqian Palace.
In the early morning, Zhuo Yuan was sitting in front of the mirror combing her hair. She was picking out the hairpin slowly. Halfway through the selection, she suddenly paused and turned around to ask: "The emperor has been back to Beijing for more than a month, right?"
Sang Ruo replied: "Yes."
Looking at himself in the mirror, the corners of Zhuo Yuan's lips curled up slightly, "Let's move the nail buried in the third brother's place, the time is almost up, the prince has always been precious, and it must be very uncomfortable to be confined for more than a month , it’s better to let it out to get some air.”
——Feng Shui turns around, and it's time for the eldest brother to go in and wait.
What's more... You can't really wait for the emperor to calm down. Once the emperor calms down, his heart will be biased, and it will not be so easy to straighten it out.
……
To be honest, Yimin already doesn't quite understand the current development of things.
First, the elder brother took an active part in competing with himself for the matter of abolishing the crown prince, looking for people to canvass votes everywhere, and the movement was quite loud, and she, a person who lived in seclusion in the harem, heard it more than once.
The members of the princeling party naturally resisted fiercely, and they kept writing to beg Kangxi to forgive the prince, or express their feelings for the prince, and talk about Xiang...
These are basic operations that everyone can guess.
Until now, things are still developing normally, but within a few days... the third elder brother reported to Kangxi: the eldest elder brother used the technique of witchcraft to suppress the prince, so that the prince frequently fainted, and did so many things that Kangxi could not do. something to endure.
Everyone present at the time was dumbfounded.
No, what are you planning?
You were the one who wanted to bring down the prince at the beginning, but now you are the one who racked his brains to clean him up. Do you think it’s funny?
The key point is that he didn't just talk about it, he also produced definite evidence, the witnesses and material evidence were convincing, and he directly crucified the eldest brother.
In just one day.The prince was released, but the elder brother was locked in.
The speed of this change has blinded many people's eyes...
After getting the news, Yimin... went to Zhuo Yuan immediately. Now she couldn't understand it with her own brain and needed to find someone outside the venue for help.
Unexpectedly, Zhuo Yuan told her with a smile: A Min just needs to wait, there will be a better show soon.
Yimin's heart trembled at the time, and she couldn't help but think: No, it couldn't be you who did it, right?
……
After the crown prince was released, Yimin met him once or twice, and the other party became more gloomy. He heard that the eunuchs in Yuqing Palace often had to be replaced, and many maids had whip wounds on their bodies.
The relationship between the prince and Kangxi has also deteriorated a lot. Both parties are waiting for the other party's apology, but this apology is delayed. deep.
After the prince faced the risk of being almost abolished, he realized that his father would no longer unconditionally protect him, and would no longer tolerate him infinitely, so... it was inevitable that he would pay more attention to the power in his hands, hoping to draw security from it feel.
However, in the face of such a prince, Kangxi could only become more vigilant, more disappointed, and even more suppressed.
The end result is obvious.
In the 49th year of Kangxi, the tenth day of June.
After the prince Yinfeng's intention to treason was exposed, Kangxi stopped the court for three days——still ordered to abolish the prince.
……
"After the crown prince was abolished, the emperor was in a very bad mood. He often summoned the imperial physician these days. As a son of man, you should share your father's worries..." Zhuo Yuan said with a slight smile.
She looked at Yinzhen, and paused word by word, "Remember it, talk less, do more practical things, let all your people lie dormant, and no one is allowed to stand out!"
Yinzhen nodded earnestly, "Thank you, Huangeriang, for your reminder, Yinzhen understands."
Now, he has reached a certain level in terms of skill, vision and political accumulation. For some things, even if the Queen Mother doesn't say anything, he still knows what to do.
Seeing him leave, Yi Min asked from the side: "Do you think the emperor will confer another crown prince?"
Zhuo Yuan turned to look at her, and asked with a smile, "Why not? It's up to man, as long as it's arranged properly, nothing is impossible."
Yimin also turned her head to look at her, and smiled lightly——I don't believe that everything is man-made, but I will always believe in you.
……
In the 52nd year of Kangxi, the fourth son of the emperor, Prince Yong Yinzhen, was officially canonized as the prince.
When the imperial decree came down, Yi Min only felt that her mind went blank. If she was younger than ten years old, she might cry on the spot.
——It’s really not easy!
Although Zhuo Yuan said it very easily, but from the time when the prince was abolished, the fourth child gradually emerged, and then the fourth child was named the prince.
During the whole process, whether it was the fourth child himself and his subordinates, Zhuo Yuan, Concubine Yi, and even Yi Min, they were exhausted physically and mentally.
Perhaps it was too much stimulation to destroy the son he raised with his own hands. Kangxi became extremely difficult to serve, and he was picky about things. Hit the ring.
For more than three years, everyone has been trembling, fearing that something will poke his old man's lungs.
——It’s finally about to be liberated!
Yimin couldn't help smiling.
……
On the day of the crown prince's canonization ceremony, Yimin washed and dressed before dawn. She was dressed in imperial concubine costumes and high-end make-up, and went to Chengqian Palace in a sedan chair.
When she arrived, Zhuo Yuan had just put on her makeup. Seeing her coming, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you so impatient, the gift will take a while."
Yimin smiled brightly: "I'm happy!"
Raising his hand to let everyone in the room go out, Zhuo Yuan pulled her to sit down. Seeing that she was laughing all the time, he couldn't help laughing too, "The position of the prince is certain, and it will be much more secure in the future."
"Yes, yes," Yimin nodded again and again. She was full of emotions today and had a strong desire to talk, so she leaned lightly on Zhuo Yuan's shoulder, sighed and smiled: "I dreamed yesterday, I dreamed that I would go with you We went to the seaside, and went out to sea together in a boat, fishing together, and playing on the boat..."
"I also went to Jiangnan. This time without the emperor, we walked through the streets in civilian clothes, each holding a bunch of candied haws. You asked me if it was sweet, and if I wanted to buy another bunch..."
As she talked, she couldn't hold back anymore, but she remembered that today was a good day for Yin Zhen, so she tried not to shed tears.
But her voice trembled unavoidably, she said: "Ah Yuan, I really want to go for a walk outside the palace freely, I really want to, I almost forget what it is to walk on the street unrestrained I feel..."
Yinzhen's position as the crown prince has been confirmed, and she also has a mind. Now she only has one wish, which is to try her best to survive Kangxi, and then take an instant trip with Zhuo Yuan. What a magnificent scenery, as long as there is no Kangxi to follow, as long as you are not in the palace, you can go anywhere.
Zhuo Yuan put his arms around her shoulders, from her angle, he could just see a strand of white hair on Yi Min's head.
Extremely dazzling!
She was stunned for a moment, then tightened the hand holding her, and said in a very soft voice, "There will be that day, I promise!"
……
At the prince's canonization ceremony.
Standing beside Kangxi, Zhuo Yuan witnessed him handing over the crown prince's gold book and other things to Yinzhen.
She looked at the high-spirited Yinzhen, raised her eyes slightly, and saw Yimin and Concubine Yi who were standing on the other side, then turned her head, and looked slowly at Kangxi.
With just one glance, he retracted his gaze.
But the thought in his heart was like wild grass growing wildly, and he couldn't stop it no matter what.
--if……
She lowered her eyes, hiding all her thoughts one by one.
The author has something to say: I tried my best.
Although he was reprimanded by Kangxi for being unfilial and unfraternal, spying on the emperor, and escorted back to Beijing by the elder brother all the way, he was ridiculed, but he was not deposed.
Although many of his cronies were slaughtered by Kangxi, and the Hesheli clan were also raped and killed, he has not been abolished yet.
Although many of his benefits were gone, he was directly placed under house arrest in Yuqing Palace, and his entry and exit were monitored, but he was still not deposed.
Yimin: ...
It's just... quite overwhelming.
Especially when Yinzhen came to pay her respects, she was even more confused after seeing the obvious bruise on Yinzhen's face.
Hastily asked: "What's going on?"
Yinzhen smiled wryly, and said vaguely: "When he was begging the prince, Huang Ama threw something at him..."
Plead for the crown prince?
Yi Min felt that she had grasped the key to the matter!
She asked: "Is it you who begged the prince?" So that he was not deposed?
wrong.
Yimin thought for a while, felt that Yinzhen didn't have such a big face, and said again: "It's your mother-in-law!"
Only Zhuo Yuan, who is a queen, has enough identity and voice to protect the precarious position of the prince under Kangxi's wrath.
She stood up involuntarily, squinted her eyes, took two steps, and said to Yinzhen: "Your empress mother is right, this is indeed not the best time to get the prince."
Yinzhen was also taught by Huang Erniang in private, so he naturally understood this truth. He nodded in admiration on Wen Erniang's words on the face, but he also admired Wen Erniang in his heart.
He used to think that Wen Erniang was broad-minded, indifferent and peaceful, but he didn't expect that the other party stayed in the palace, and she could figure out the situation with just a few words.
Wen Erniang asked again: "Are you the only one who begged the prince?"

Big Brother and Third Brother!
As soon as he said this, Yimin understood, how could these two intercede with the prince, they were eager to drag the prince down.
But... comparing the two of them, Yinzhen's image of being friendly to his brothers and sympathetic to his father should have left some impression on Kangxi.
Right now he is still in a rage, and when he calms down, he may not appreciate the behavior of the elder brother and the third elder brother.
After all, every father in the world must hope that his children will be united and friendly. The emperor is also a human being, so naturally there is no exception.
Yimin nodded, "Okay, I understand, you go back to the mansion first, you Fujin should also wait."
Yinzhen saluted again: "Then Wen Erniang paid more attention to her body, so Yinzhen took her leave first."
……
After Yinzhen left, Yimin sat down, resting her chin in thought.
Don't look at her confident appearance in front of Yinzhen, in fact, her heart is still messy and unorganized. In the final analysis, she just has a kind of obsessive belief in Zhuo Yuan, and firmly believes that what she does must have her own meaning.
——Does Zhuo Yuan feel that this is not the best time to abolish the prince?

If the timing is really right, there will be no such thing as abolition and restoration in history.
Moreover, as far as Kangxi is concerned, the prince's previous faults will probably disappear with the "abolition of the prince", and even because the prince fell too badly, he will rebound and feel sorry for his son.
Although it is a bit outrageous, for Yimin who has witnessed the whole process of Kangxi's eccentric eye these years, it is...not impossible.
Only when the crown prince has not been dealt with the most seriously, will he keep all the estrangements that occurred before in his heart, and wait for the best time to explode.
After a while, she raised her head and shouted, "Call Yulan over here!"
Yulan came in a hurry after being summoned, and asked respectfully, "What orders does the empress have for the servants?"
Yimin asked her to listen to her, and arranged softly: "You have someone send a letter to both Yinyi and Yinzhen, so that they must not act against the prince this time, it is best to remain neutral, and if necessary, say a few words for the prince. It's not impossible..."
The eldest elder brother will definitely not let go of this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, and the third elder brother and the others will inevitably fish in troubled waters. During this period of time, there will be foreseeable turmoil in the front and rear palaces. Her family still needs a lot of two little salted fish Be careful, try not to get involved.
"Send a letter to the family as well, so that the third brother will restrain the family and be quiet, and don't make any noise..."
Most other families in the capital don't like to let their outstanding children go out to work outside, but the Dong family is a different kind of fireworks. Most of the men of the younger generation of the Dong family can't wait to run out as soon as they get married, scrambling to leave the capital to make a living. .
In the end, only Dong Sange, an elder in the town house, and a few young people who were not yet old enough to be released were left in Dong's mansion in the capital.
However, you can't usually see it, but at this time, the benefits are revealed. There are fewer people and more safety, and it is not easy to be noticed.
Yulan nodded, "Your servant obeys."
After she left, Yi Min went back to the dormitory alone, changed her clothes and lay down on the bed to take a nap.
But she didn't fall asleep, but sorted out the current situation in her mind.
First of all, the state of seizing the heir is becoming more and more obvious, and the most fierce fights are the crown prince and eldest brother.
However, the biggest forces behind these two princes were basically suppressed by Kangxi.

Although the third elder brother also has intentions, but he is too bookish, and most of his followers are scholars. It is okay to write books and make articles, but it is a bit embarrassing to participate in the seizure of the heir.
The rest is the legendary Baye Party.
Yimin raised her eyebrows slightly.
Just, how should I put it.
The current eighth and ninth elders both grew up under Yipin's knees. Perhaps it was because the fifth elder brother was taken away by the queen mother when he was born, and the eleventh elder brother died young. They are all very pampered. Eighth elder brother has lived a pretty good life since he was a child.
In addition, Zhuo Yuan's biological mother has long been mentioned as a nobleman of Wei, and there are also many elder brothers in the palace whose biological mothers are nobles, such as: the twelfth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother... Therefore, the eighth elder brother is not inferior at all.
And he is... quite lively, especially after marrying Yipin's clan niece: Prince An's granddaughter, Guo Luoluo.He was very interested in learning from Xiao Shi, either traveling with Ba Fujin, or doing business with Lao Jiu.
If Kangxi assigns him work, he will finish it honestly. If Kangxi does not arrange things for him, he will not be depressed. He will only focus on living with his wife, playing and drinking with his brothers...
So far, he has no intention of developing into the Baxian King, and he probably won't in the future, because Bafujin is pregnant again. Following the experience of Bafujin giving birth to the eldest son five years ago, the old eighth is better. Those who stay at home with their daughter-in-law and children for a long time are not in the mood to hang out.
There is also the fourteenth elder brother known as the "General King" in history. He does not mention his mother's identity as a Han woman, but his character is purely fond of literature and dislikes martial arts. He is usually bad at riding and shooting , and was repeatedly reprimanded by Kangxi.
However, he just humbly admits his mistakes, and then, he will never repent...
——Compared with the nine sons seizing the heirloom in history, this scene is really too harmonious!
Although she really didn't want to admit it, Yimin knew very well that she was somewhat responsible for the current situation, so that for a long time, when she saw the eighth, ninth, and fourteenth elder brothers, she I feel weird.
After summarizing the opponent's situation, Yi Min got up again to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of her own team - the fourth team.
The first one is Concubine Yi and the Tong family behind her.
Originally, this should be the main player, but since the 29th year of Kangxi, Tong Guogang, the previous patriarch of the Tong family, died in the battle of Galdan, the Tong family, which lost this excellent leader, gradually became more and more popular.
Tong Guowei was not as good as his elder brother in some respects. The Tong family had offended many people in the previous dynasty over the years. If it wasn't for Kangxi's partiality, he would have been done by others.
and!
He also hedged his bets!
While booing and asking for warmth to the fourth elder brother, he hooked up with the prince, and sometimes even got in touch with the eldest elder brother. Even with the third elder brother, he had swiped his favorability several times.
Anyway, Kangxi is his nephew, and every elder brother is also his grandnephew. As an uncle, there is absolutely nothing wrong with talking about life and ideals with a few juniors!
I don't know what other people think, but Yimin can only suffocate for his operation—what the hell!
To sum up, it is basically impossible to count on the single-minded support of the Tong family. They dare to defect, but Yinzhen dare not accept it. Who knows when the other party will betray him?There is more than one good nephew!
Therefore, the Tong family put it aside for the time being, and can't count it in a hurry.
The second one should be De Fei's legacy and Wu Ya's clan.
Wu Yashi devoted all his attention to supporting the fourth child, but their influence in the court was still weaker, and more of them were still in the position of underdogs, so they could not count on big things.
——The third is Zhuo Yuan.
Yimin opened her eyes, and she gently rubbed her temples.
Zhuo Yuan is determined to support the fourth child, and based on her understanding of Zhuo Yuan, since she has chosen, as long as the fourth child does not do anything that makes her unbearable, she will definitely stick to it.
——Xinzhen, you must be good, if you are mischievous and offend your mother-in-law, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Among the elder brothers, the sixth and tenth sons naturally tend to favor the fourth son, and Zhang Jiagui's thirteenth elder brother...
Finally, she whispered inaudibly: "The Dong family behind me can also provide some help..." She may not necessarily stand in line, but it is still possible to give the green light.
She let out a breath, closed her eyes with peace of mind, turned over and went to sleep.
——Such a good deck of cards, why can't it be broken?
……
Outside the palace, Six Baylor Mansion.
As the second batch of elder brothers who were released from the palace, the sixth elder brother was not like the previous elder brothers, who belonged to Baylor first and then the county king.
His starting point was a little lower. He was granted the title of Beizi when he left the palace. He was awarded the title of Baylor by Kangxi after he went out of the palace several times, and he has no title so far.
The same goes for the younger brothers behind him, including the ten elder brothers born to Concubine Wen Gui, who also followed this process, but the old ten had an extra title of 'Dun'.
When he received the news from Concubine Wen Gui in the palace, Lao Liu had just come out of Fujin's courtyard and was about to go to the study to study.
When he received the letter, he was taken aback for a moment, then stood there thinking for a long time, and then told his followers: "Prepare the car and go to Dunbaile's mansion!"
……
Dumbele House.
Yin Yi was not surprised to see the sixth son who came to visit, the brothers had always had a good relationship and lived close to each other, and it was common for them to visit each other for dinner.
Yinyi smiled and said: "Sixth brother, you came to Qiao today, a new chef from Jiangnan has come to my house, just let him show his hands." Then he asked: "Why is sister-in-law here? And Xuan'er ..."
Brother Six had a very serious expression, "I have something to tell you, go to the study."
Yin Yi was stunned, and said "oh", without asking anything, he obediently went to the study with Lao Liu, entered the study, closed the door, and then asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
The sixth child asked, "Have you received Wen Erniang's letter?"
Yin Yi nodded and said honestly, "I got it."
The sixth child asked again: "Do you have any ideas?"
After saying this, he paused, looked at Yin Yi's obviously thoughtless expression, sighed, and said bluntly: "The crown prince can't see it anymore, and the boss may not be able to please, let alone the third."
He looked at Yinyi with calm eyes and a steady tone, "I want to help fourth brother."
Yin Yi's expression suddenly became serious, and he frowned, "Do you want to stand in line?"
You know, although they all support the fourth brother, they have never really been involved in seizing the heir apparent and party struggles. After all, the two of them are following the route of the idle elder brother, and they are not willing to live in peace in their hearts. Still, go to intrigue every day.
He was about to say: Sixth brother, forget it soon, do you think our brother can help fourth brother?It would be nice not to trouble him.
Seeing that the sixth child shook his head, he said, "Just to show my attitude, and then I will hand over the contacts of my mother's family to the fourth brother."
He said with a smile: "Although the Zhaojia clan is invisible, there are still a few people who can be used."
In fact, his wife's family is also a common surname in Manchuria, and there are more capable children in the family, but... the Shu Mulu family is not willing to participate in the seizure of the heir, and the sixth child does not force it.
"How about it, I'll go to the fourth brother's house later, do you want to come together?" The sixth child issued an invitation.
He is really optimistic about the fourth brother, and he also wants to take the younger brother tenth to improve his favorability. Although they are brothers who grew up together, relationships must be managed, even if it is a brotherhood.
Yinyi thought for a while, but it didn't take long, it only took a few seconds.
He said: "Then let's go together." It happened that he also had something to tell the fourth brother.
"However," he smiled, "I still have to ask Sixth Brother to wait for a while, my brother has to go have lunch with Yunna first, by the way, has Sixth Brother eaten lunch, if not, let's eat together... "
Sixth child: ...
Thanks no, I'm already full.
……
Waited until the Yongjun Palace.
Because the dog food is a bit full, the sixth child is not in the mood to be sensational, so when he sees the fourth child, he babbles.
Yinzhen:……
How should I put it, unexpected, but not so unexpected, not unexpected, but a little bit unexpected.
But he still smiled happily, and even patted Lao Liu on the shoulder to express the other party's heart. He received it and kept it in his heart. He will properly arrange and reuse Zhao Jia's people... and so on if.
Yinyi looked left and right, and after they were polite for a few times, he smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I also have some people I want to hand over to the fourth brother." After finishing speaking, he added, "This is also the eldest sister's hand." And the meaning of the fourth sister..."
As soon as he said this, Yinzhen and Lao Liu all turned their eyes to him.Especially the fourth child, combined with the content of his words, had a guess in his heart, couldn't help but move his Adam's apple, and suddenly felt a little nervous.
really……
Yinyi coughed lightly, looked at Yinzhen and said solemnly: "A few days ago, my younger brother received letters from the elder sister and the fourth brother-in-law at the same time. They specifically asked me to send a greeting to the fourth brother..."
Yinzhen exhaled slowly, revealing a trace of genuine joy.
Although their siblings have always had a very good relationship, the two sisters and brothers-in-law did not directly express their views on the matter of seizing the heir.
Then it is not only the meaning of support, but also the recognition of his strength and ability. Compared with the former, the latter is what makes him most happy.
After all, no matter whether it is Aya, who is extremely smart since she was a child, or Celeng, the fourth brother-in-law who has made great achievements in military affairs, they are all people worthy of respect in Yinzhen's heart. If he can get the affirmation of the other party, he will have more confidence in himself.
……
A month later, Chengqian Palace.
In the early morning, Zhuo Yuan was sitting in front of the mirror combing her hair. She was picking out the hairpin slowly. Halfway through the selection, she suddenly paused and turned around to ask: "The emperor has been back to Beijing for more than a month, right?"
Sang Ruo replied: "Yes."
Looking at himself in the mirror, the corners of Zhuo Yuan's lips curled up slightly, "Let's move the nail buried in the third brother's place, the time is almost up, the prince has always been precious, and it must be very uncomfortable to be confined for more than a month , it’s better to let it out to get some air.”
——Feng Shui turns around, and it's time for the eldest brother to go in and wait.
What's more... You can't really wait for the emperor to calm down. Once the emperor calms down, his heart will be biased, and it will not be so easy to straighten it out.
……
To be honest, Yimin already doesn't quite understand the current development of things.
First, the elder brother took an active part in competing with himself for the matter of abolishing the crown prince, looking for people to canvass votes everywhere, and the movement was quite loud, and she, a person who lived in seclusion in the harem, heard it more than once.
The members of the princeling party naturally resisted fiercely, and they kept writing to beg Kangxi to forgive the prince, or express their feelings for the prince, and talk about Xiang...
These are basic operations that everyone can guess.
Until now, things are still developing normally, but within a few days... the third elder brother reported to Kangxi: the eldest elder brother used the technique of witchcraft to suppress the prince, so that the prince frequently fainted, and did so many things that Kangxi could not do. something to endure.
Everyone present at the time was dumbfounded.
No, what are you planning?
You were the one who wanted to bring down the prince at the beginning, but now you are the one who racked his brains to clean him up. Do you think it’s funny?
The key point is that he didn't just talk about it, he also produced definite evidence, the witnesses and material evidence were convincing, and he directly crucified the eldest brother.
In just one day.The prince was released, but the elder brother was locked in.
The speed of this change has blinded many people's eyes...
After getting the news, Yimin... went to Zhuo Yuan immediately. Now she couldn't understand it with her own brain and needed to find someone outside the venue for help.
Unexpectedly, Zhuo Yuan told her with a smile: A Min just needs to wait, there will be a better show soon.
Yimin's heart trembled at the time, and she couldn't help but think: No, it couldn't be you who did it, right?
……
After the crown prince was released, Yimin met him once or twice, and the other party became more gloomy. He heard that the eunuchs in Yuqing Palace often had to be replaced, and many maids had whip wounds on their bodies.
The relationship between the prince and Kangxi has also deteriorated a lot. Both parties are waiting for the other party's apology, but this apology is delayed. deep.
After the prince faced the risk of being almost abolished, he realized that his father would no longer unconditionally protect him, and would no longer tolerate him infinitely, so... it was inevitable that he would pay more attention to the power in his hands, hoping to draw security from it feel.
However, in the face of such a prince, Kangxi could only become more vigilant, more disappointed, and even more suppressed.
The end result is obvious.
In the 49th year of Kangxi, the tenth day of June.
After the prince Yinfeng's intention to treason was exposed, Kangxi stopped the court for three days——still ordered to abolish the prince.
……
"After the crown prince was abolished, the emperor was in a very bad mood. He often summoned the imperial physician these days. As a son of man, you should share your father's worries..." Zhuo Yuan said with a slight smile.
She looked at Yinzhen, and paused word by word, "Remember it, talk less, do more practical things, let all your people lie dormant, and no one is allowed to stand out!"
Yinzhen nodded earnestly, "Thank you, Huangeriang, for your reminder, Yinzhen understands."
Now, he has reached a certain level in terms of skill, vision and political accumulation. For some things, even if the Queen Mother doesn't say anything, he still knows what to do.
Seeing him leave, Yi Min asked from the side: "Do you think the emperor will confer another crown prince?"
Zhuo Yuan turned to look at her, and asked with a smile, "Why not? It's up to man, as long as it's arranged properly, nothing is impossible."
Yimin also turned her head to look at her, and smiled lightly——I don't believe that everything is man-made, but I will always believe in you.
……
In the 52nd year of Kangxi, the fourth son of the emperor, Prince Yong Yinzhen, was officially canonized as the prince.
When the imperial decree came down, Yi Min only felt that her mind went blank. If she was younger than ten years old, she might cry on the spot.
——It’s really not easy!
Although Zhuo Yuan said it very easily, but from the time when the prince was abolished, the fourth child gradually emerged, and then the fourth child was named the prince.
During the whole process, whether it was the fourth child himself and his subordinates, Zhuo Yuan, Concubine Yi, and even Yi Min, they were exhausted physically and mentally.
Perhaps it was too much stimulation to destroy the son he raised with his own hands. Kangxi became extremely difficult to serve, and he was picky about things. Hit the ring.
For more than three years, everyone has been trembling, fearing that something will poke his old man's lungs.
——It’s finally about to be liberated!
Yimin couldn't help smiling.
……
On the day of the crown prince's canonization ceremony, Yimin washed and dressed before dawn. She was dressed in imperial concubine costumes and high-end make-up, and went to Chengqian Palace in a sedan chair.
When she arrived, Zhuo Yuan had just put on her makeup. Seeing her coming, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you so impatient, the gift will take a while."
Yimin smiled brightly: "I'm happy!"
Raising his hand to let everyone in the room go out, Zhuo Yuan pulled her to sit down. Seeing that she was laughing all the time, he couldn't help laughing too, "The position of the prince is certain, and it will be much more secure in the future."
"Yes, yes," Yimin nodded again and again. She was full of emotions today and had a strong desire to talk, so she leaned lightly on Zhuo Yuan's shoulder, sighed and smiled: "I dreamed yesterday, I dreamed that I would go with you We went to the seaside, and went out to sea together in a boat, fishing together, and playing on the boat..."
"I also went to Jiangnan. This time without the emperor, we walked through the streets in civilian clothes, each holding a bunch of candied haws. You asked me if it was sweet, and if I wanted to buy another bunch..."
As she talked, she couldn't hold back anymore, but she remembered that today was a good day for Yin Zhen, so she tried not to shed tears.
But her voice trembled unavoidably, she said: "Ah Yuan, I really want to go for a walk outside the palace freely, I really want to, I almost forget what it is to walk on the street unrestrained I feel..."
Yinzhen's position as the crown prince has been confirmed, and she also has a mind. Now she only has one wish, which is to try her best to survive Kangxi, and then take an instant trip with Zhuo Yuan. What a magnificent scenery, as long as there is no Kangxi to follow, as long as you are not in the palace, you can go anywhere.
Zhuo Yuan put his arms around her shoulders, from her angle, he could just see a strand of white hair on Yi Min's head.
Extremely dazzling!
She was stunned for a moment, then tightened the hand holding her, and said in a very soft voice, "There will be that day, I promise!"
……
At the prince's canonization ceremony.
Standing beside Kangxi, Zhuo Yuan witnessed him handing over the crown prince's gold book and other things to Yinzhen.
She looked at the high-spirited Yinzhen, raised her eyes slightly, and saw Yimin and Concubine Yi who were standing on the other side, then turned her head, and looked slowly at Kangxi.
With just one glance, he retracted his gaze.
But the thought in his heart was like wild grass growing wildly, and he couldn't stop it no matter what.
--if……
She lowered her eyes, hiding all her thoughts one by one.
The author has something to say: I tried my best.
