When another minister generously praised Yinsi for his intelligence and kindness, and said that he would be a good prince who would respect others, Kangxi exploded.

"How dare you, the son of a lowly woman from Xinzheku, dream of the throne?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the southern study room fell silent.

Deep astonishment appeared on the faces of all the ministers.

"Yinsi is treacherous and treacherous by nature, harboring grand ambitions and using leniency to win over people's hearts. He deserves death!"

Kangxi scolded Yinsi a few times, but he still felt unsatisfied. He glanced at the ministers who were silent and trembling.

"Don't think I don't know what you're planning. You're just thinking he's weak and easy to manipulate. You're not qualified to play tricks on me and try to form a clique for personal gain!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers knelt on the ground.

"I, your humble servant, dare not!"

"Get out of here!"

Kangxi's comments on Yinsi spread throughout the capital in just half a day.

When Yinreng learned about this, he was a little stunned, but he soon figured out the key.

It was probably because most of the people in the court recommended Yinsi to be made the crown prince that Kangxi was so upset.

Once this evaluation came out, Yinsi's power in the court would probably be greatly reduced.

This situation is somewhat similar to what is recorded in history books.

But this time, Yinzhi did not suggest to the old man to kill him, and he did not affect innocent people because of his dethronement.

On the other side, after receiving the news, Yinzhen and others hurriedly hitched a carriage and came to Prince Lian's Mansion.

"Myna..."

Yin'er, Yin'an, and Yin'zhen felt extremely uncomfortable when they saw Yinsi sitting dejectedly by the window admiring the scenery.

Yinsi heard the noise and turned to look at his brothers. When they came to him, he forced out an ugly smile.

"You shouldn't have come..."

"What are you talking about, Big Brother? How can your brother just stand by and watch when something so serious happened to you?"

Yin was somewhat dissatisfied and complained in a muffled voice.

"How could the Emperor say such hurtful words?"

"Tenth brother!"

Yinzhen glanced at Yinzhen sternly.

"Be careful with your words!"

Yin curled his lips and stopped talking.

Unlike Yinsi's straightforwardness, Yin'er and Yinzhi quickly understood the meaning of Yinsi's words. The emperor had just accused myna of forming a clique for personal gain in front of the court officials, and now they came to see myna. Doesn't this confirm the accusation of "forming a clique for personal gain"?

Yinzhen opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.

To be honest, if he hadn't considered that Yinzhen and Yinzhen would come to see myna, it would have been embarrassing for him not to come, so he had no choice but to come just to pretend.

If either Yinzhen or Yin? hadn't come, he would never have taken the risk.

"It's already this late, and you're still worried about this!"

Yinzhen knew that the only thing that really hurt Bage's heart was "the son of a lowly woman in the Xinzheku".

"Myna, don't believe him. Your background is not your problem."

"Yeah, my brother, don't believe it."

Yin also followed suit.

Yinzhen thought about it and suggested,

"The most important thing right now is to comfort the people on our side. Myna, you need to cheer yourself up as soon as possible. If you really become devastated, wouldn't that just be what some people want?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other Yinzhen raised their eyebrows. Was this directed at the other brothers or at the Emperor?

Yinsi obviously thought of this as well. He gently shook his head at Yinzhen.

"Now, what I need to do is to wait and see."

He didn't know whether Yinzhen's words were out of kindness or malice, but his best way to deal with it at the moment was to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

The fact that these brothers came to visit him could be explained as a sign of deep brotherly love, but once he came out to appease people, his clique-building and selfishness were completely confirmed.

Besides, after several years of operation, he has a huge force under his command and a diverse staff. After this incident, he can clean up his subordinates so that when his second brother ascends the throne, he will not be too afraid of him.

"But……"

Yinzhen wanted to say something but was interrupted by Yinsi.

"Okay, my dear, it's alright, you all should go back. It's not good for you to stay here for too long."

Yinzhen was the first to agree.

"Okay, then you should have a good rest, brother. I'll come find you if I need anything."

Seeing this, Yinzhen and Yin? had no choice but to follow Yin'er and leave Prince Lian's Mansion.

Half an hour later, Yinzhen came back, but this time he did not go through the main gate, but through the secret passage.

Yinsi was still sitting by the window and was not surprised to see him come in.

"I knew you would come back."

"Are you going to swallow this anger?"

Yin'er sat down opposite Yinsi, a flash of hostility flashing across his eyes.

"What if I don't swallow it? He is not only our father, but also the emperor."

Yinsi frowned and felt depressed.

"Just because he's the emperor, can he gouge out our hearts without restraint?"

"We are human beings, not animals!"

"Old Nine!"

Yinsi called out warningly.

But it failed to make Yinzhen shut up.

"My dear brother, do you know why the second prince has been going to Weihaiwei all the time in the past seven or eight years?"

The topic changed rather quickly, and Yinsi frowned, his eyes showing a hint of confusion.

"My younger brother doesn't like reading, but he thinks some of the words in the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues are particularly true: 'The ruler is the bond between his subjects; if the ruler is unjust, the subjects will defect to another country; the father is the bond between his sons; if the father is unkind...'"

"Zezi fled to another place!"

Yin'er spoke word by word, paying no attention to the drastic change in Yinsi's expression.

"Yin'er, are you going to die?!"

If this were said in front of the old man, even if Yinzhen was his biological son, he would definitely be executed by slow slicing!

"I only say such words in front of you because I cherish my life."

Yinzhen smiled bitterly for a moment,

"Eighth brother, count carefully, from the eldest brother to the tenth brother, the greatest injustices suffered by all of us came from him, didn't it?"

"Some things simply can't be described as 'wronged'. Take Third Brother and you, for example. Third Brother is so weak now that he gasps for breath after taking two steps. Even when Big Brother stands next to him, others will think Third Brother is the elder."

"As for you, you were practically a son-in-law to Prince An's mansion, and yet you're still being judged like this. If I were someone with a weaker tolerance, I'd probably be at your bedside saying these words!"

Yinsi fell silent.

Yinzhen glanced towards the direction of Zijin City from afar.

"I didn't understand before why my second brother spared no effort to offend the entire court, ruining his reputation and finding all kinds of excuses to stay away from the capital. Now I understand..."

"To have such a king and father is a misfortune for you and me!"

When Yinzhen spoke the last sentence, his voice was extremely low, but it sounded like thunder in Yinsi's ears.

Yinsi raised his head and asked Yinlu in a difficult voice,

"But what can we do? Are we going to confront him head-on without knowing the consequences?"
