When Kangxi heard Zhou Jia's words, he angrily grasped the dragon head handle of the dragon throne under him with a cold look in his eyes. His son and ministers were still kneeling on the ground, and he deliberately did not let them get up.
Yinreng had now been confirmed as the crown prince for the second time, and Zhou Jia's words made him even more anxious.
Kangxi's gaze lingered on Yinreng for a moment with a complicated expression, then he turned his gaze to look at his other sons.
He still couldn't forget what Zhou Jia had said before about the Nine Dragons' fight for the throne.
"Yinreng was the second son of Emperor Kangxi. His mother was Empress Hesheli, and he was a crown prince publicly appointed by the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Kangxi and Empress Hesheli had a good relationship. In 1674, Yinreng was born, but his mother died due to complications during childbirth. After the grand funeral, Emperor Kangxi took on the mission of raising his son.
In 1675, Yinreng was appointed as the crown prince. In 1678, Yinreng accidentally contracted smallpox, which was an incurable disease at the time. So Kangxi ordered all memorials to be sent to the cabinet, and he stayed with Yinreng wholeheartedly until he recovered.
Oh, yes, as a side note, many emperors and princes of the Qing Dynasty died of smallpox. People thought that smallpox was incurable, but in fact, it is not true. Smallpox can be cured. We no longer have smallpox. It does not mean that it has disappeared in the whole of China, but in the whole world. That is not right. We should say that the smallpox virus has been eradicated by us. Now, perhaps only some laboratories still have the smallpox virus.
Don't worry, I've already talked about this. Later I'll tell you how to minimize casualties under your circumstances. After the Dragon Boat Festival, we'll talk about how to deal with diseases like smallpox and natural disasters like earthquakes. They're all practical tips, and we'll also show you the corresponding short videos. Take good notes.
The Qing Dynasty was the most excited to hear the news that smallpox had been eradicated, as they had been deeply affected by smallpox.
The young Kangxi, or Prince Xuanye, was now lying weakly in bed due to smallpox. He instantly became energetic after hearing Zhou Jia's words and looked at the screen hopefully.
If smallpox is eradicated, he will be well soon!
"The later generations...are truly amazing!"
No matter how much Kangxi refused to admit it, this was the fact.
As a victim, he has a deep understanding of the power of smallpox.
"Some people may wonder, if Kangxi doted on this child so much, how could he become one of his regrets?
Then we have to talk about what happened next.
Yinreng and Li Chengqian have one thing in common, that is, they were both extremely doted on by their fathers when they were young. All kinds of good resources were poured into them, and they were given considerable power.
However, this brings up a question: what is the difference between the prince's rights and the emperor's rights? What kind of rights can make the emperor feel that the prince is doing a good job, but without threatening his position as emperor?
The royal family is ruthless. Once their own interests are involved, they will turn their backs on others and fight to the death at any time.
In 1708, the 47th year of Kangxi's reign, Kangxi toured the frontier and asked Yinreng and his other sons to accompany him. During this period, several things happened that intensified the conflict between Kangxi and Yinreng:
Kangxi's eldest son Yinzhi and other princes told Kangxi a lot of negative news about Yinreng, such as that he was brutal and cruel, that he beat the kings and ministers at will, that he intercepted Mongolian tribute, and that he allowed others to extort his subordinates.
These things made Kangxi dissatisfied with Yinreng. Like Liu Ju, there were some fabricated and false news in the news, but Kangxi believed it without a doubt.
The most important thing is that he was angry at Yinreng's so-called evil deeds, but he was even more dissatisfied with Yinreng's overstepping of his authority, believing that Yinreng's behavior was: "to divide my power so that he can act arbitrarily."
To put it simply, he felt that Yinreng was competing with him for power, and that his authority as the emperor was being challenged."

Yinreng, crawling on the ground, smiled bitterly with powerlessness.
This was the real reason. He looked up at his father and said loudly, "Father Your Majesty, I know I am incapable of being the Crown Prince. Today I request that the Crown Prince's position be abolished. I hope Your Majesty will agree."
As soon as he said this, all the princes and ministers looked at him in surprise. They didn't expect him to be so tough and give up the throne just like that.
Kangxi looked very unhappy.
Whether it was Zhou Jia's words or Yinreng's current actions, they could be said to be rubbing his face on the ground. How could he bear it?
"That's enough. I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said today. Don't talk nonsense in the future!"
Yinreng no longer has any attachment to his father. To be more precise, his love for his father has been completely exhausted over the years. Now he wants nothing and just wants to find a good place, whether it is living a common life or waiting for death quietly, which is better than being involved in intrigue in this deep palace all day long.
He didn't care anymore and didn't want to argue about anything anymore.
Hearing his words, many people looked at him in confusion, but a few princes' eyes flashed with excitement. Now that the crown prince was gone, wouldn't their maneuverability be greater?
"Your Majesty, I have thought it over carefully and will never regret it in my life!"
Yinreng kowtowed, his forehead hitting the ground with a loud thud. Kangxi looked down at the top of Yinreng's head, his expression indifferent, but a ball of anger burning in his eyes. "Enough! I don't want to repeat what I said a second time!"
Even if he wanted to depose Yinreng, he would not do so after Zhou Jia pointed these out. Otherwise, wouldn't that be fulfilling Zhou Jia's words?
He's not stupid.
Yinreng closed his eyes silently, despair and sadness surging in his heart.
I really can't even destroy myself.
