In fact, it is not surprising that Kangxi was so sarcastic. The main reason was that Yinreng's behavior was exactly as Kangxi said. Not only did he not look sad at all, but even his concerned eyes when he looked at Yinzuo were smiling. His indifferent look made Yinzuo stunned.

"Khan Ama, please stop making things difficult for my sixth brother. Everyone knows that our little six has always dreamed of being a playboy who only eats, drinks and has fun. How could he understand these things? Besides, you are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. It is up to you to decide who will be the crown prince in the future. Please let little six go this time."

Yinreng came close to Yinzuo and looked carefully at his forehead, which was red from being slapped by Kangxi. He raised his hand and poked it twice. Seeing Yinzuo grimacing in pain, he withdrew his hand with satisfaction. Yinzuo covered his forehead and looked at his unscrupulous father, and then looked at his brother who obviously didn't have much conscience. He was speechless for a moment, with only five words echoing in his mind - what a fate I have~

Kangxi was already annoyed by Yinreng today, and seeing Yinzo so happy, he couldn't help but want to make things difficult for him. If Yinreng hadn't pleaded for him, the matter would have been over at this point. But the bad thing was that Yinreng mentioned Yinzo's dream that made his father feel extremely upset every time he thought about it over the years. Well, this time he meant well but ended up doing something bad, and made things even worse for Yinzo.

"Let him go this time? You're dreaming. Not only will I make it difficult for him today, I also don't intend to let you go. Yinreng, don't you want to resign the position of Crown Prince? Okay, then recommend a suitable successor to the throne to me. Yinzuo, have you recovered? If so, then seriously consider my question. If your second brother no longer serves as Crown Prince, who do you hope will take the position?"

Yinreng had been gloating over Yinzuo's misfortune, enjoying himself. But after just a few words, he became the center of the fun. Yinzuo felt that his father was seriously ill today, otherwise why would he insist on asking him for an answer?

There's a saying that goes, "If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster; if it's a disaster, it can't be avoided." Since he can't avoid it, then just speak freely. However, he felt that before he got to the point, he should first give his father a heads-up, so that he wouldn't bring up the past later.

"Father, if you insist on your son telling me what I think, that's fine, but we have to be upfront about this. Today, we're just father and son, and we can't bring up the past. Anyway, let's just say this: once we leave this Qingxi Book House, I will never admit anything we said today."

Seeing that Yinzuo dared to bargain with him, Kangxi's hand suddenly felt itchy again. He raised his eyes and glanced around, but didn't find anything useful. In the end, he could only pick a grape from the fruit plate and throw it at Yinzuo.

"Where do you get so much nonsense from? Just say it quickly when I tell you to."

Yinzuo casually took the grapes thrown by his father, put them into his mouth, chewed them for a few times, spit out the skins and put them into the porcelain plate on the table. He didn't take Kangxi's mild reprimand seriously at all.

"Look, you're getting anxious again, aren't you? Didn't your son tell you everything? You're so angry, why don't you listen? Aren't you just asking me who will take on the responsibility if my second brother doesn't become the crown prince? Isn't that what you're talking about? It has to be my fourth brother."

When Yinzuo said this, both Kangxi and Yinreng were stunned. Although they all said that one should recommend the virtuous regardless of relatives, is it appropriate for you to so carelessly recommend your own brother? Is this right?

"Oh, then tell me, why does it have to be your fourth brother?"

Upon hearing this, Yinzuo glanced at Kangxi and Yinreng, and seeing that they were both looking at him with confusion, he couldn't help but raise his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, then slightly adjusted his sitting posture before slowly speaking.

"Father, I'm afraid you've been confused by my second brother today, right? Look, what a poor question this is. Why must it be my fourth brother? Of course, it's because if the person who becomes emperor in the future is my fourth brother, this result will be most beneficial to my son. Although my son has a good relationship with my eldest brother, my fourth brother and I were born from the same mother after all. We are naturally closer than other brothers. Another point is that if other brothers become emperors, my mother can't control them. Then who can I turn to for justice when I get angry in the future?"

You know, after Yinzuo's analysis, Kangxi and Yinreng suddenly felt that his recommendation was quite reasonable. However, they both had a question in their minds: why couldn't this person be the Fourteenth Prince? Wasn't he also born from the same mother as you?

"Why can't Fourteenth? That's a good question. Of course, it's because I'll bully him forever. If he becomes emperor, then I'll be the one standing on his head. And, Father, Second Brother, do you really think Fourteenth can be emperor with his brains?"

That was obviously impossible. Forget about being the crown prince of a country. Have you ever seen a twenty-year-old heir of a powerful family being fooled by his brother? Kangxi's brows immediately furrowed when he thought about how Yinzuo had fooled him around when he was fourteen, making him clean the yard and grind the millstone for him.

"That's definitely not possible. With his brain, I have basically ruled him out as a candidate for the crown prince."

Yinzuo was not sure whether the Fourteenth Prince in history was suitable to be the emperor, but the Fourteenth Prince in their family was definitely not suitable. This kid was raised under the protection of his mother and two brothers. To put it nicely, his character was simple, but to put it bluntly, he was reckless. His mind was full of fighting and killing. If he were to be the emperor, he would be confused by the twists and turns of the group of civil servants in the court.

"Now that we've come to this, second brother, can you tell me what you think? The position of Crown Prince is second only to the emperor, and I'm resigning just like that."

If you asked Yinzuo who he wanted to be the emperor when he just traveled through time, he would definitely tell you his answer without hesitation - Yinzhen. But as the saying goes, people are all made of flesh and blood. Ask yourself, Yinreng has been very good to Yinzuo over the years. He did not show any favoritism to Yinzuo just because he was favored by Kangxi. He even gave him reminders and protection at critical moments. As an elder brother, he was undoubtedly qualified. That's why Yinzuo hesitated when Kangxi asked him who he wanted to take the position if Yinreng did not become the crown prince.

Yinzuo had never seen the Nine Dragons in history. Although he was familiar with the story of the Nine Dragons fighting for the throne, it was just a story to him in his previous life. But this life was different. The characters in the previous stories had come into reality. Those people in the story of the Nine Dragons fighting for the throne had become his brothers, with flesh and blood, and feelings. They had been together for more than 20 years. How could Yinzuo want them to continue fighting to the death as in history? If possible, Yinzuo even felt that it would be good for his second brother to sit in this position forever.
