This kick woke the prince up immediately. Thinking of his own complaints just now, he was so scared that his face turned pale.

Unfortunately, Kangxi was now extremely disappointed with him and didn't want to hear him continue.

"You are the prince I personally appointed. I have great expectations of you, but you have disappointed me greatly."

The prince felt that his position as crown prince was in danger, so he quickly stood up and begged for mercy, but Kangxi did not give him a chance.

"The Crown Prince acted immorally while drunk, was disrespectful to me, and was cruel and ruthless. He is unworthy of being the Crown Prince. I depose him from the throne and confine him to Yuqing Palace."

After all, he was his own son, and Kangxi really couldn't kill him. Although he wanted to force him to abdicate, he never did it, so he locked him up in Yuqing Palace to reflect.

"Why, why do you treat me like this? I'm the crown prince, born a crown prince, how did it come to this irreversible situation today?"

"If you weren't so cruel, I wouldn't have treated you like this, Baocheng. I really hoped you could become the new emperor, but you've disappointed me so much."

Kangxi left, leaving the deposed prince sitting there feeling lost and resentful.

The prince suddenly fell silent. He didn't believe what Kangxi said at all. He must be lying to him.

"You're a liar, you're clearly a liar. Why did you lie to me? I'm the crown prince, the heir apparent. I'm the one who should be in that position."

However, no one answered his question.

The sudden dethronement of the crown prince caused a huge uproar both in the court and the harem.

Ambitious people took action one after another. They didn't care why Kangxi took action against the prince. They only knew that if they missed this opportunity, they would never have another chance.

Kangxi looked at them with disappointment, and he became angry when he saw them arguing over the choice of the crown prince.

"As far as I am concerned, the position of crown prince has never been considered for you.

Boss, you are the eldest prince, and you are extremely capable in leading troops and fighting battles, but can you guarantee that you can hold on to this position?

Third brother, I thought you were devoted to study, but I didn't expect that you also coveted the position of crown prince. I don't blame you, but you are not capable enough.

Eighth brother, you are getting married soon. I never thought that you, with such a low birth background, dared to covet this position.

"Old Nine, Old Ten, am I too lenient with you? I actually let you follow Old Eight and make trouble?"

Yin'er was unhappy. He had brought Yin'e along to follow his elder brother Yinsi out of brotherly love. How could the emperor say that they were fooling around?

"Father, it was my fault. I shouldn't have taken my ninth and tenth brothers with me to such trouble. I promise I won't do it again. Please forgive me, Father."

Yinsi had already realized that he had no chance of ascending the throne, so he might as well step down honestly and leave a good impression on Kangxi.

Kangxi did not expect him to be so flexible, but it was a pity that he came from a low background. However, if he truly repented and assisted Yinxiang well in the future, it would not be impossible to give him a high position.

"Go down."

"Son, take your leave."

Only after Yinsi and the other two left did Kangxi have time to focus on the depressed Yinzhi and Yinzhi.

"What? You can't handle a little setback? My sons are all excellent. They don't need to sit on the throne to succeed. As long as you make achievements in your own fields of expertise, how can you bring disgrace to your reputation?"

"Does Your Majesty really think that this son of yours is not suitable?"

"It's quite unsuitable. Sometimes I feel like you're a reckless man. You're like a fish in water on the battlefield, but not necessarily in the court."

"Where is my minister?"

"You? You're okay, but your abilities are limited, and you can't control those important officials. Rather than letting you take the position, it would be better to let you shine in literature. You're compiling the Complete Library in the Four Treasures, which is your strong point. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yinzhi was immediately attracted. Since he couldn't sit in that position anyway, he might as well do what he likes.

"I understand. Don't worry, Father. I will get people to compile it as soon as possible."

"I believe you."

Yinzhi was very excited because he had received unprecedented trust.

Seeing this, Yinzhi no longer worried about it. After all, he wanted to fight for the throne in the first place just to compete with the prince.

Now that the crown prince has been deposed, he might as well guard the border. He was born to be a god on the battlefield, and it would be a pity if he was trapped in the court.

"I know I was wrong, please punish me, Father."

"Punish? How could I punish you? A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier, and a prince who doesn't want to be emperor isn't a good prince. It's just that you truly lack the ability, otherwise I wouldn't have given up on you."

Yinzhi said he felt comforted.

Kangxi didn't expect that he could get rid of them so quickly, and he felt proud.

As time passed, Kangxi was ready to pass the throne to Yinxiang.

"I am passing the throne to you today, and I only hope that you will treat your brothers well after you take the throne. As for the deposed crown prince, I still hope he can survive.

To be honest, he became like that because of my improper teaching, so I am also guilty.

Since he has been imprisoned in Yuqing Palace for five years, let's just move him out. As for the title, forget it and let him be a commoner. That will be better for everyone."

"I understand. But does Your Majesty think it's too early to pass the throne to me? You're still young, why don't you wait two years?"

Yinxiang really hoped that Kangxi would pass the throne to him a few years later. After all, he also wanted to enjoy himself for two more years.

However, Kangxi thought he had some conspiracy and was worried that he would go back on his word, so he took Mu Sili and his two daughters and ran away overnight.

Yinzhen was confused when he woke up in the morning and found that his parents and sister were gone. He just slept, so where did they go?

"Thirteenth brother, this is bad! The Emperor, Mother, and sisters are all missing. I've searched the entire palace but can't find them. What should I do?"

Yinxiang's face also looked unhappy. He really didn't expect that Kangxi would run away overnight.

Although he would not regret it, he was deeply shocked by Kangxi's behavior, so he planned to give birth to a prince as soon as possible and pass the throne to him when he was fifteen years old.

Fifteen years is enough time to do a lot of things, and he believes that he can carry forward the Qing Dynasty within fifteen years.

Yinxiang was a generous man. After he ascended the throne, Kangxi was honored as the Supreme Emperor, and Mu Sili was the Supreme Empress.

He conferred the title of prince on all his brothers, including Yinzhen, while Wen Ke and Dun Ke were conferred the title of Princess Gulun. They were all his brothers and sisters, so there was no need to hide them.

Only after giving them such great benefits will they know how much we value them, and they will contribute better to the development of the Qing Dynasty.

As for the deposed crown prince who had been imprisoned in Yuqing Palace, Yinxiang directly bought a villa in the suburbs of Beijing and moved him there.

It was not until he left the palace that the deposed prince realized how wrong he had been.

But after all, he became a commoner. Even if he had ambitions, he had no way to realize them. So he just lived as an ordinary person outside the palace.
