Yinreng has lived for three lifetimes. In this life, he just wants to get along well with his brothers, be a carefree prince, live a life without worries about food and clothing, and explore the be...
After the court session, the court officials gathered in groups of three or four and walked out of the palace while discussing what had just happened.
Tong Guowei's old face was gloomy.
Apart from Yinzhen, probably no one dared to laugh at Tong Guowei's joke.
Even Fu Cha Ma Qi, who had just clamored for "severe punishment" in the court, now silently shrank back.
Try your best to keep yourself out of Tong Guowei's sight.
Before today, the Fucha family and the Tong family had never interfered with each other, and Ma Qi even believed that his relationship with Tong Guowei was pretty good.
After all, they were all loyal supporters of Kangxi. Even if there were some conflicts of interest, they would not become difficult to resolve.
To be a loyal dog, you must learn to read the master's eyes and hit wherever the master tells you to. Only then can you be a good dog.
Obviously, Ma Qi has achieved perfection in this regard.
Although he didn't know why Kangxi targeted Longkodo, it did not prevent him from helping Kangxi achieve his goal.
Fucha Maqi's eyes were fixed on Tong Guowei who was walking forward without noticing that there was another pair of eyes following him.
Yinreng first returned to Yuqing Palace to have breakfast, then changed his clothes and went to Ningshou Palace to pay his respects to the empress dowager.
The weather is getting colder, and it seems that heavy snow will fall at any moment.
After arriving at the place, Yinreng discovered that someone had arrived before him.
Yinreng glanced at Yin'er's smiling face in surprise, then looked away.
"Grandson, please give me your greetings..."
The Queen Mother smiled and narrowed her eyes.
"Baocheng is here, come here quickly, have you had your meal yet..."
After coming out of Yongshou Palace, Yinzhen followed Yinreng closely, and Yinreng felt helpless.
"I've already said it before, no matter what you want to do, I will support you wholeheartedly. As for the rest, don't even think about it."
If there was nothing serious, the princes who had established their own palaces would only go to the Yongshou Palace to pay their respects on the first and fifteenth days of the month. Only Yinreng went there every day without fail.
Occasionally, when the Empress Dowager was not feeling well, he would sit in Yongshou Palace for a while and ask about her food, clothing and other expenses.
So Yinzhen was waiting there in advance today, most likely to stop him.
Yinzhen smiled happily,
"I came here today not to recruit you, but because I have something to ask you."
Yinreng was stunned. "What's the matter?"
"This is not the place to talk."
Yinreng followed Yinzhen to the base camp in the outer city.
This place is full of his confidants, and with his people guarding it, even if the person he sent out has great skills, there is no way he can eavesdrop on their conversation.
The two walked around the shop and then went to the room on the top floor.
"Tell me, what do you want to ask?"
Yinreng stood at the window with his hands in his pockets, watching the people coming and going on the street outside.
"Besides you, who else knows the real reason why he targeted Longkodo?"
Yinreng turned around and saw Yin'er staring at him intently. He frowned and thought for a moment, then decided to tell him everything.
"The eldest, third, and fourth are all insiders."
Even if he didn't say it, Yinzhen would find ways to test him one by one. It would be better to tell him the answer directly to save him from jumping around and arousing his suspicion.
Yinzhen was a little surprised. The only candidates he could guess were the eldest, second and third brothers.
But how did the fourth brother know?
On the day the third brother fainted, the fourth brother was still in the mountains showing off his decent riding and archery skills.
"The eldest just found out recently, what about the fourth?"
Yinreng rolled his eyes.
"You can call them Big 1 or Big 4?"
"If you can scream, then so can I!"
"Are you the prince?"
Yinzhen: “…”
"Okay, okay, Fourth Brother, is this all right?"
Yinreng withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
"When the third brother was being hunted, I and the fourth brother had already guessed the truth of the matter."
When Yin'er heard this, his face immediately fell.
"So you and Old Four hid this from everyone for several years?!"
Yinreng leaned against the window and did not answer his question.
Yinzhen took a deep breath.
He is not the third brother and has no right to question the decision of the second brother.
"Have you really never thought of resisting?!"
Yinzhen stared at Yinreng, his face full of frustration and frustration.
Yinreng looked at Yinzhen intently.
"Everyone has their own choices. The choice I make now is the best solution for me."
As long as Kangxi was alive, he was destined to live in suspicion. In his previous life, he struggled and tried to change the status quo, but unfortunately the ending was tragic.
He had actually noticed a long time ago that Kangxi wanted to ease the relationship between them, but as a man who had died once, how stupid would he have to be to repeat the same mistake again?
He was too tired to struggle and just wanted to watch from the sidelines.
The conversation between the two brothers ended in vain.
That afternoon, taking advantage of the opportunity to go to the Lifanyuan to meet with foreigners, Yin'er found Yinsi again.
He directly revealed the discord between Kangxi and Longkodo to Yinsi.
Yinreng did not intend to resist, but he was not a tough guy.
He didn't want to become like his third brother or tenth brother one day in the future, and become a victim thrown away by Kangxi.
As Yin'er had expected, Yinsi also found it difficult to accept Kangxi's cold-blooded behavior.
But when Yinzhen mentioned that he wanted to place his confidants in the court and train his own people to avoid those uncertain risks, Yinsi hesitated.
"If you do this, where will that leave my second brother?"
Yinsi felt that he had received a lot of favors from his second brother, and that the Qing Dynasty would fall into his second brother's hands sooner or later. If he now went beyond his second brother's control to win over people, it would inevitably have a sense of ingratitude.
Yinzhen sneered,
"He doesn't care at all. He even wants to give away the position of crown prince."
Hearing this, Yinsi was somewhat displeased.
"Don't say that. The power we hold is all due to Second Brother's generosity. Otherwise, none of us brothers will have an easy life!"
"Whether I said anything wrong or not, you can go ask him yourself. I originally planned to follow him around and be a good princeling, but guess what he said to me?"
"He said that his current inaction is the best choice he can make!"
Seeing that the anger on Yin'er's face did not seem fake, Yinsi frowned. He now believed Yin'er's words to some extent.
"Are you really placing people in the court just to protect yourself? Don't you have any other motives?"
Yin'er's face became darker and darker.
"What else? My brother, do you think your brother wants to get his hands on that position?"
They grew up together, and Yinzhen didn't believe that his eighth brother didn't understand him. But after he proposed to build up his own power, his eighth brother actually suspected that he wanted to compete with his second brother for the throne, which really made him uncomfortable.
Yinsi's expression relaxed.
"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this matter involves too much. If you don't handle it properly, it will easily attract those ambitious people. You know, once something starts, it's not so easy to end it."
