The next day, Yinzhen reported the list to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince glanced at it and then crossed out the names of two families. Yinzhen looked at those two families without saying a word; they were his protégés who had sided with the Crown Prince.

However, he couldn't help but feel disappointed in his second brother, the Crown Prince. Yinzhen just couldn't understand why, as the Crown Prince, with the Emperor's favor towards him, he would be so greedy for even the smallest thing. It was understandable that Lingpu was spared, but to spare those two people as well was just as bad. Hesitation only led to more trouble.

In his opinion, those greedy fellows should be severely punished as a warning to others, so that the Crown Prince's second brother's subordinates can be kept cleaner.

Yinzhen suddenly understood why the Crown Prince in his dream had such an ending. One reason was that the Emperor was old and the Crown Prince was powerful, which made the Emperor feel threatened. Another reason was probably the Crown Prince's somewhat indecisive nature.

To outsiders, the Crown Prince appears to be gentle and sentimental, but as the Crown Prince, the heir apparent, if he were to actually become emperor, he would be all alone. Most officials in the land would be thinking about how to deceive him and gain benefits from him. His virtues in other people's eyes would become his weaknesses as emperor.

The Emperor in the dream probably saw it too, which is why he acted that way.

It turns out this wasn't unexpected.

After leaving Yuqing Palace, he sighed before continuing his work.

After several days of hard work, they finally managed to put together a basic outline of the new system of the Imperial Household Department.

Yinzhen went to Yuqing Palace to discuss the matter with the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince revised it again before Yinzhen wrote a memorial and handed it to Kangxi.

Kangxi looked at it, made some changes, and even changed back the original changes made by the Crown Prince, saying, "You two did a good job, let's keep it this way!"

The Crown Prince and Yinzhen accepted the order and began to implement it.

However, looking at the memorial that Kangxi had revised, the Crown Prince remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he felt rather uneasy, wondering if his fourth brother was a little too "outstanding".

If he were the emperor, it wouldn't matter if his younger brother was outstanding, but he is not the emperor yet, and Yinzhen is also a prince, which inevitably leaves a knot in the crown prince's heart.

Fortunately, the Crown Prince can still distinguish between what is important and what is not, and has not really done anything to Yinzhen, otherwise it would be a disservice to all the elite education he has received over the years!

During the implementation process, the Crown Prince remained calm and collected, while Yinzhen busied himself with the details.

Confiscating property requires evidence, so it needs to be done house by house, and there are various other matters to attend to. It's a very busy time, but fortunately, Yinzhen felt that this kind of busyness was worthwhile.

Although he was exhausted in his dream, he did not want to repeat the same mistakes in this life, but the Qing Dynasty belonged to the Aisin Gioro clan, and he could not stand by and watch its dignity be trampled on.
