Alinga was originally very reluctant to talk to the elders in the clan. They talked about the overall situation all the time, and no one considered his feelings at all.

As a legitimate son, why should he serve as a foil to Faka, the illegitimate son?

With the death of Concubine Niohuru, Faka's greatest support is gone. These old guys will have to depend on him for their survival in the future. How can they have the confidence to blame him?

So when faced with accusations, Alinga retorted without showing any mercy.

In the end, Alinga and the elders of the Niuhuru family parted ways unhappily.

The day after Alinga sued him, Faka went to the palace to meet Kangxi with the evidence he had collected over the years.

Alinga had been framing him for seven or eight years, and the reason he did not resist was mostly due to Kangxi.

After all, Kangxi's favoritism towards Alinga was obvious to all.

He had made some minor mistakes back then, which clearly did not amount to the extent of being stripped of his title. However, due to Alinga's exaggeration, his dukedom was transferred to Alinga.

Faka is not without resentment.

But after all, he was the one who made the mistake first, and he was afraid that if he showed up without thinking, it would bring disaster to his sister, so he endured it.

Now that his sister is gone, Alinga was not even willing to wait for one more day and dared to openly throw dirty water on him at his sister's funeral.

If he continues to endure it, he might even lose his life!

Faka was filled with resentment.

After Kangxi looked through the evidence, he became more and more disgusted with Alinga's behavior.

When he transferred the title of Faka to Alinga, besides because that boy was sweet-mouthed and good at flattering, he actually valued Alinga's hostility towards Faka and Concubine Niuhulu more.

Because Yin's background was too prominent.

He was afraid that the tenth son would grow up to threaten Yinreng's position.

Now it seems that Alinga has indeed lived up to his expectations. With his own strength, he has disturbed the peace of the Niuhulu family and even threatened to fall apart...

Looking at Faka crying bitterly, Kangxi comforted him with a few words, made some promises, and then sent him away.

As soon as he left, Kangxi summoned Alinga to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and threw the evidence handed by Faka in his face.

When Alinga came out again, not only was there a wound on his forehead, but he was also limping when he walked, looking extremely miserable.

In less than an hour, people in Beijing were able to taste the freshest melons firsthand.

Everyone was speculating about the reason why Alinga was beaten. It might be because the emperor found out the truth about his lawsuit against Faka. However, before they had time to verify it, they heard the news that Alinga had been stripped of his title.

Well, there is no need to confirm this, Faka was indeed framed by Alinga.

However, the elders of the Niuhuru family were not very satisfied with this. It was a good thing that Alinga, the "troublemaker", was stripped of his title, but the emperor did not say who would take over his title.

The Niuhuru family lost the title of duke because of Alinga's stupid behavior, which they could not accept.

So someone boldly asked Kangxi about the transfer of Alinga's dukedom.

Kangxi was worried that he had not yet vented his anger, so upon hearing this, he immediately scolded the man.

So no one dared to ask further.

The Niu Hulu family was also depressed because of this incident.

Because Concubine Niohuru gave birth to the tenth prince, she was considered Yinreng's stepmother, so after his death, Yinreng had to mourn her for a year.

His marriage will also be postponed for a year.

According to the Qing Dynasty's mourning system, only concubines who gave birth to the father's children could be called concubine mothers. If the concubine had no children, she would not be included in the category of concubine mothers and could only be called "father's concubine."

At the end of November, Kangxi ordered the recall of Shi Wenbing and asked him to return to Beijing to resume his post as the commander-in-chief of the Han army of the Plain White Banner. However, on the way back to Beijing, Shi Wenbing contracted a serious illness and died within a few days.

In fact, after Shi Wenbing died in his previous life, Yinreng also tried to find out the cause of his death, and finally confirmed that he died of acute appendicitis.

If it were any other disease, Yinreng could try to save him based on theoretical knowledge, but appendicitis requires surgery, and with current medical conditions, even with penicillin, Shi Wenbing might not be saved.

Who knows, it might even make his death more painful.

The most important point is that the mourning period for Concubine Niohuru has not yet passed, so he can't even leave the imperial city, let alone go to the capital.

Kangxi also felt sorry for Shi Wenbing's death.

It was so hard to find a Manchu noble who had a lot of say in the Han Army Banner, but now he died so easily. It would be strange if he didn't feel sad.

The New Year of the 33rd year of Kangxi's reign passed in such a gloomy and miserable manner.

After the Chinese New Year, maritime trade was officially opened, and the countries that first established maritime trade channels with the Qing Dynasty all came to the capital to purchase goods.

The outer city is crowded with people all day long.

When there are too many people, accidents are likely to happen.

The people living around the capital have lived at the foot of the imperial city for a long time and they all abide by the rules strictly.

However, their simplicity and courtesy made them easy to bully in the eyes of some foreign barbarians.

Those who were able to come to the capital to trade when the port was first built were all nobles from various foreign countries.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to receive the news so early and have the first bite of meat.

These people regarded ordinary people as ants in their own countries. Although they restrained themselves a little after coming to the Qing Dynasty, when they saw that the people in the outer cities did not dare to make enemies with them, they felt that the people of the Qing Dynasty were no more than that.

Bullying is a natural thing.

After these people who were oppressed by foreigners reported to the authorities, the outer city patrol officer actually believed those foreign businessmen.

Yinreng didn't know about it at first. It wasn't until such incidents accumulated to a certain number that the Five Cities Inspection Office could no longer suppress them and reported them to the higher authorities that Yinreng heard about it from the Junior Chancellor.

Yinreng was furious. Without any hesitation, he ran to Kangxi to complain.

Kangxi also heard about this incident and asked Yinreng how he wanted to deal with it. Yinreng's answer was only four words - kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Kangxi thought for a moment, agreed to his request, and then handed the matter over to Yinreng for full handling.

On that day, Yinreng brought Yinzhen, several translators from the Lifanyuan, and more than 200 imperial guards, and surrounded the post station under the Lifanyuan, allowing only entry but not exit.

He then sent for someone to invite the Censor of the Five Cities Inspection Office to the gate of the posthouse, and specifically told those people that they didn't need to be so "polite" when inviting him.

Yinreng and Yinzhen got off their horses and ordered several imperial guards to bring out two chairs from the inn. The two of them then sat down at the door of the inn.

As time passed, more and more people gathered around the post station.

Due to the intimidation of the Imperial Guards, the people only dared to gather five steps away, observing the movements at the door of the inn and whispering to each other.

Not long after, several men dressed in foreign costumes pushed through the crowd and walked in, shouting loudly.
