Chapter 8 Chapter 8
Yinreng couldn't help but gasp. Two dethronements and two reinstatements, and then early retirement?!
This was an outcome he could never have imagined. Given his influence in the court and his royal father's attitude towards him, there was no way he would be deposed as the crown prince.
But the 679 system was so certain that he felt that this was his fate!
Yinzhen was imprisoned for witchcraft, so why was he deposed from the position of crown prince? Why was he imprisoned after being deposed and reinstated twice?
Thinking of this, he lowered his eyebrows, looked at his toes, and tried hard to calm himself down. No matter what, he would find a way to ask Fifteen and get some information out of him.
He would never allow himself to go down the path of being deposed and reinstated twice, nor would he fight with Yinzhen and let others benefit.
No matter who gets the throne in the end, he will not let him go!
Yinzhi, Yinzhen and the others' hearts were pounding when they heard this. Who would be the crown prince? Even their second brother, who was the most beloved by the emperor, was deposed and even imprisoned in the end. What would happen to them in the end?
Who is the final winner?
While the others were lost in thought, Li Qijin softly said to the 679 system, "That's really not bad."
Upon hearing this, System 679 nodded in agreement, "That's quite good. He drinks and enjoys himself every day, quite carefree."
"If he could get out, he would probably travel all over the country and watch the tides rise and fall."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "If Yinreng had been more open-minded and refused to be reinstated when he first deposed the crown prince, he might have been able to live a leisurely life as a prince. As for Yinzhi, it was because he believed his words when he deposed the crown prince that he used witchcraft on Yinreng, and that's why he was imprisoned. These two people complement each other very well. If they had been harmonious, how could they have ended up like this?"
Li Qijin's bright black eyes were tinged with pity, and he agreed in a childish voice, "You're right."
"Didn't they say that Yinzhen was bewitched by the ministers? Who bewitched him?"
As Kangxi listened to the words of "one man unifies all", his eyes fell on Yinreng who lowered his head. The older this child grew, the more alienated he became from him, but he had never thought of deposing him from the position of crown prince.
It is even more impossible to abolish and establish two things at the same time.
Unless Yinreng did something in the future that made him extremely angry, what else could he do?!
Yinreng was his most beloved child, whom he raised and taught personally. Although he had various minor flaws, he never did anything to disappoint himself.
But now, according to System 679, what he did was very serious, so serious that he was deposed from his position as crown prince and imprisoned.
As for Yinzhen, he was his first child, so how could he not love him? But now, hearing that his two most beloved children had ended up being imprisoned, he felt a mixture of emotions.
The 679 system has always emphasized that these two people were bewitched by others, which led to their end.
Judging from the current situation, the Crown Prince is close to Soetu, Yinzhen is close to Mingzhu, and with the relationship with the in-laws, the situation is even more complicated.
If you want to make sense of it, it might be difficult!
System 679 searched for it, then said in a childish voice, "Ah, it should be Mingzhu, but there are others besides Mingzhu, which makes the situation more complicated. And it's hard to say what will happen in the future. Even if we know who it is now, I'm afraid it will change in the future."
"Otherwise, why would I ask you to stop it?"
He can see what is happening now, and can even make short videos of things in the past, but he has no way of presenting what will happen in the future, and he doesn’t know much about it.
Kangxi held Li Qijin in his arms, his expression calm, but there was a dark color in his eyes.
It seems that the 679 system only has a rough idea of the future, and the details can only be known when it happens. Also, these two people are unreliable, and they need his guidance before they can tell anything.
We still have to wait and see.
Li Qijin listened to this and sighed in a childish voice, "Actually, Brother Yinzhen is quite good. When Concubine Hui punished Mother, he even pleaded for her."
Once you say this, the amount of information is quite large.
When did Wang Shi meet Yin Zhen? And when did she help to intercede for him?
Even the expression on Kangxi's face became a little complicated. It turned out that he had not beaten Yinzhen lightly. He even forgot to avoid the people in the harem.
Upon hearing this, System 679 said to him in a childish voice, "That's true. If Yinzhen hadn't come, Concubine Hui might not have released your mother. At least he was pleading for her."
Li Qijin asked, "Why did Concubine Hui punish my mother? I only know that she was punished, but I don't know why."
System 679 said happily, "Watch the short video and you'll know."
As he spoke, a screen appeared in front of Li Qijin, and a picture was revealed on the screen.
The painting clearly revealed Concubine Hui's ferocious face, and she gritted her teeth as she said, "Wang, don't think that by dressing like this and going to the Imperial Garden, you'll meet the Emperor and regain His Majesty's favor. As long as I don't place your green card there, you'll never see the Emperor again!"
"Go outside and kneel down. Don't get up without my permission!"
Such words made Li Qi Jin silent for a while. He didn't expect that Concubine Hui had such a ferocious face under her gentle and pleasant face.
Except for Kangxi who remained calm, Yinreng and everyone else present were shocked.
Short video!
I can actually see the images and hear the sounds. When did this come out?! How did a short video come out?!
Yinreng looked at the screen in front of him, his heart pounding. He saw a lot of things from this short video. He could use the short video to get the information he wanted from Fifteen, or he could use the short video to let his royal father see some things.
As long as his acting skills are good enough, he can avoid the path of two abolitions and two establishments as suggested by the 679 system!
Yinzhi and Yinzhen had calm expressions on their faces, but their hearts were in turmoil. This short video came too suddenly, and none of them were prepared.
The short video made them aware of another capability of the 679 system, and also made their situation even more awkward.
If they surrender to the prince, they will be discovered; if they support their eldest brother, they will also be discovered. In the end, they will probably be punished.
It seems that what happens in the future will be the real test of my acting skills!
Li Qijin didn't notice the changes in the others at all. He used his small, fleshy hands to pull at the jade pendant on Kangxi's waist and sighed in a childish voice, "If my mother didn't live in Zhongcui Palace, she wouldn't be bullied if she didn't go out."
System 679 directly denied it, "That's impossible. Only those above the rank of concubine can have their own palace. Your mother is still just a noble lady."
Kangxi listened to the words of "One Person, One Commander" and fell into deep thought. He really had not thought that Concubine Hui was so domineering in his own palace. At the family dinner a few days ago, Wang only asked Sun to bring Fifteen over. Maybe it was because Concubine Hui didn't want her to come?
Thinking of this, his eyes became a little dim. Be it the former dynasty or the harem, nothing was as harmonious as it seemed.
But he had never thought about this before.
At this moment, a minister stepped out from the procession. He lowered his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and held up a memorial to Kangxi, saying, "Your Majesty, I have a letter to punish you."
Hearing this, Kangxi raised his eyes and looked towards the man. He said to him, "Lord Li, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. You have made many achievements in government in the past few years, and I have seen it all."
Li Shuo was someone who took the imperial examination in the same year as him. He was a man of brilliant literary talent and quite proud. Especially during the period when he was assigned abroad, he was an honest and upright official. He planned to transfer him to the capital after the autumn harvest.
When Li Shuo heard what Kangxi said, tears streamed down his face. He looked at Kangxi and knelt on the ground, holding the memorial in both hands above his head. Then he shouted to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I am ashamed of your trust. Please punish me!"
This sentence startled everyone in the court, and soon everyone looked at Li Shuo as if they were laughing at a joke.
Kangxi gave Liang Jiugong a look, indicating that he should bring up the memorial.
Liang Jiugong walked towards Li Shuo in small steps. He reached out to pick up the memorial, returned to Kangxi's side, and carefully placed the memorial in front of Kangxi.
Li Qijin hadn't reacted yet at this moment. He was frightened by Li Shuo's roar. He grabbed Kangxi's arm, stuck to him, and put his face into Kangxi's neck.
But a pair of eyes quietly looked at the memorial in Kangxi's hand.
After just one glance, he was a little confused. The words on it looked familiar to him, but he didn't recognize any of them.
After looking at it for a while without finding any results, he asked the 679 system in a baby voice, "679, what's written on the letter?"
The same characters were transformed into traditional Chinese characters, and since the description was in classical Chinese, he couldn't piece together the content no matter how hard he tried.
The moment Kangxi saw the memorial, his face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it. He really didn't expect that Li Shuo would be so bold as to conceal the severe drought in Qi County. Although the autumn harvest was imminent, the people there were unable to get enough food because of the severe drought.
As the local official, Li Shuo originally reported a bumper harvest in Qi County. Now he couldn't get over it himself and came to report himself.
Did he think he could let him go this way?!
Even when I heard Li Qijin's childish voice, which sounded funny, I couldn't laugh at all.
After hearing what Li Qijin said, System 679 briefly explained the contents of the memorial to him, then sighed and said, "Actually, this matter can't be entirely blamed on Li Shuo. He chose to conceal the matter because he believed the slander of his advisor."
"But who knew that the master was just trying to drag him into this trouble by getting people to give him gifts? He received quite a few gifts and even wanted to use the stolen money to alleviate the disaster. It was really a bit outlandish."
Li Qijin sighed after hearing this: "Didn't he leave any money for himself?"
Is this Li Shuo really that honest? He didn't leave any money behind.
Listening to Kangxi's words, System 679 couldn't help but laugh and said, "There's still money left. I'll show you a short video and you'll understand."
Suddenly, a screen lit up in front of Li Qijin, which clearly recorded the embarrassed smile on Li Shuo's face. The socks he wore were full of patches, and the clothes inside even had a big hole in it. When he put them on, he stretched his leg into the hole, leaving one trouser leg hanging outside. His wife still found out and told him about it, and he hurriedly put his trousers back on.
Not to mention the inner garment that was torn into strips.
Kangxi looked at Li Shuo in the short video, his eyes flickering. After a moment, he said calmly: "Come here, strip Li Shuo naked for me!"
