Chapter 142 Let nature take its course and let fate take you wherever it wants you to go...
After the battle with Galdan, Xuanye returned to the capital to deal with Yinreng's affairs. It had been a long time since Xuanye and Xiuyu had gone to Wushan together, so after this trip, Xiuyu felt only one word, that is, tired.
Looking at the woman he loved most, nestled in his arms, Xuanye couldn't help but tighten his arm, pulling Xiuyu closer. "Yu'er, although I seem very busy these days, there are actually things I have to think about."
Xiu Yu's words were filled with laziness. "I know. I've seen the Emperor multitask so often."
Xuanye smiled and said, "I was wondering what I would do if I were Yinreng."
Xiu Yu's eyelids drooped slightly. She really didn't want to talk about this taboo topic, but since Xuanye had brought it up, she had to ask, "What will the Emperor do?"
"I, I find it difficult to decide as well." After a moment's hesitation, Xuanye added, "Of course, it would only be if Zheng Ying'er was replaced by you that the decision would become incredibly difficult. So, compared to Yinreng, I'm still lucky."
Xiu Yu was silent and stopped talking.
After a long while, Xuanye continued, "Actually, I don't know whether my arrangement for Yinreng is good or bad. After all, he is of royal blood. If he thinks this way, his..." Xuanye paused, and after a while, he said, "Forget it. I can't control what the future holds. Perhaps, it's not my business. Since this is God's will, I can only obey God's will."
"What a great phrase 'obey the will of heaven'! This will of heaven will make the future of the current emperor extremely difficult." Xiu Yu thought so and couldn't help but hug Xuanye's waist tightly. She felt a little distressed.
The days finally seemed to have settled down. Xuanye was hearing cases, approving memorials, and the ministers of the previous dynasty were doing their jobs. Everything seemed to be the same as before. But how could it be completely the same? At least the eldest prince Yinzhi was becoming more and more arrogant.
In fact, when the crown prince was still the crown prince and had just begun to show his ability to govern, Kangxi had once thought that if Yinreng grew up one day and he was still in his prime, would they end up in conflict over the throne? Of course, Xuanye later began to comfort himself. First, the crown prince was a good child and would probably not commit patricide or usurp the throne. Second, the world would eventually belong to the crown prince. As long as he was firmly in the position of crown prince, there was no need to worry about when he would take the throne.
This time, he no longer had to worry about whether he would one day stand on the opposite side of the prince. But after all, someone had to stand on the opposite side, and this person was naturally Yinzhi, who had made great contributions in Junggar and was the eldest prince of the emperor.
"Maybe it's not Yinzhi's fault. The throne of the crown prince is vacant. He is the eldest son and has military merits. It's understandable that those confused ministers of the previous dynasty would support him, the eldest prince." Xiu Yu looked at the book in his hand that recorded the Zhenlong chess games of all dynasties, and discussed this issue with Xiao Tao in a casual manner. Of course, this was when there were no other servants serving in the warm room of the Yiku Palace.
Xiao Tao waved his round fan, cooling himself and his master. "In my opinion, those ministers are brainless. Of course they're sticking with the emperor at this time, not the eldest prince. They must be crazy."
Xiu Yu was amused by Xiao Tao.
