Yinreng ignored the noise around him and knelt properly.
The princes were not idle either.
"Father, although the Crown Prince's words were a bit extreme, he is wholeheartedly serving the people and has no selfish desires. Please, for this reason, forgive him."
This is Yinzhi.
Yinyou also said,
"Yes, Father Emperor, the Crown Prince is also thinking about you..."
Yinzhen opened his mouth.
"I think what Second Brother said is right..."
Before he could finish his words, Yinzhi swung his fist at him. Yinzhen was startled and turned around to see his elder brother staring at him.
"The Emperor is angry, don't add fuel to the fire!"
Did he add fuel to the fire?
Yinzhen was confused for a moment.
Then he shut his mouth wisely.
He seemed to be saying that the second brother was right just now.
Since the second brother is not wrong, then who is wrong?
"You...are all trying to stop me, right? Fine, fine, then I'll do it myself..."
As Kangxi said this, he wanted to step down from the platform and teach Yinreng a lesson himself.
But after taking a step, he found that his legs were held by Liang Jiugong.
Kangxi struggled,
"You little dog slave, let me go!"
Liang Jiugong naturally refused.
The emperor is angry now, probably because he is angry that the prince did not give him a way out in front of so many people.
The prince refused to give it, but he had no choice but to give it.
If he hadn't stopped it, the Crown Prince would probably be kicked a few times by the Emperor today, and he would have to lie in bed for three months tomorrow!
"Your Majesty, please calm down. You said it yourself. Today is a day of celebration for all. How can you be angry?"
"Why can't I get angry?!"
Kangxi was so angry that he kicked Liang Jiugong hard with his other leg.
"Look at this rebellious son! I just wanted to show some mercy, but he actually dared to accuse me of partiality and shielding him!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"The prince was confused for a moment. Your Majesty, please forgive him for this time, considering his young age!"
Young?
Where did this come from?
Yinreng narrowed his eyes and turned around to look. It turned out to be that bastard Marhun.
Seeing the uncontrollable smile on Marhun's lips after he finished speaking, Yinreng snorted in his heart.
Suo Etu took two steps forward and spoke earnestly.
"The Crown Prince has drunk quite a bit today. How can you argue with a drunk man? He will definitely regret it when he sobers up. Please have mercy, Your Majesty!"
Kangxi exhaled a breath of foul air and kicked Liang Jiugong again.
"Get out of here!"
Liang Jiugong shrank back a bit, but he was tactful and let go of Kangxi's legs.
Kangxi snorted coldly and left the table angrily!
Liang Jiugong quickly got up and followed.
Kangxi didn't say anything, and the people kneeling in the hall didn't dare to stand up.
Excluding the princes, except for a few honest and upright officials such as Li Guangdi, Xiao Yuchenglong, and Chen Tingjing, almost everyone else resented Yinreng in their hearts.
Blame him for not considering the occasion and saying anything.
I was enjoying the meal, but now I have to kneel down with him...
So hateful!
Yinreng did not feel much fear in his heart.
He knew exactly what was going on.
Kangxi would not do anything to him just because he told the truth.
At most, I would call him an unfilial son.
Originally, Yinreng was somewhat resentful about Kangxi concealing Changning's crime.
But when he thought of those old men in the clan house, Yinreng felt a headache, so he said nothing in the end.
Now, Kangxi issued the decree to pardon the exile to Ningguta for three years. Except for the execution of Fuluguo Chong and Ling Pu's family, all other nobles involved in the case were unharmed.
How could Yinreng accept this?
According to his idea, even Chang Ning should be stripped of his skin and reduced to a commoner.
Kangxi simply took away his power to participate in politics without causing any trouble.
snort!
For someone like Chang Ning, he didn't believe he could keep to himself.
Just wait and see, Chang Ning will definitely cause some more trouble in the future.
It’s best not to offend him, otherwise...
…
After leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the expression on Kangxi's face became much calmer.
But the aura on his body was still violent.
Liang Jiugong followed behind nervously, fearing that the fire would burn him again.
Kangxi returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity with a gloomy face.
Sitting on the couch, Kangxi asked angrily,
"Tell me, was I too kind to that kid? That's why he didn't know the situation and said whatever he wanted!"
Liang Jiugong's scalp tingled.
It turns out that the emperor was not angry at the prince for blaming him, but was angry at the prince for not considering the occasion.
"The prince is also happy today. I saw that he drank quite a bit of wine. It might be the wine that made the prince so impulsive!"
Kangxi clenched his fists.
"Humph, he's talking so logically, how can he be drunk at all? And he's even bringing up the Great Qing Code!"
"That was the first time the Crown Prince investigated a major case and uncovered a criminal, so he inevitably paid too much attention to it. The Crown Prince is still young, so it's normal for him to be unable to distinguish between the serious and the minor. I need you to give him more advice in private."
Kangxi opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.
Others didn’t know that Yinreng lived an extra life, but he knew it.
He has lived for so long, how could he not know that some things can be said and some things cannot be said.
He simply doesn't want to pamper anyone.
The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel were like this back then, and so is Changning today.
Thinking of this, Kangxi sighed.
"He blames me for giving Chang Ning too light a punishment, but why doesn't he think about how much of a stir it would cause if Chang Ning's crimes were really made public?"
"The people around the capital will only think that my own brother is dissatisfied with my rule and is participating in the 'anti-Qing and restoration of Ming' movement!"
"Who can guarantee that there isn't a single White Lotus member in this government? If someone were to spread rumors and disrupt public sentiment, wouldn't all my decades of hard work be wasted?"
That brat Yinreng only cares about his own happiness, why don’t you think about him?
He is an emperor, how can he do whatever he wants according to his own preferences?
Liang Jiugong bowed and said,
"The Crown Prince is in a different position from you, so you are naturally more thoughtful."
If the situation were different, Liang Jiugong would actually quite agree with Yinreng's approach.
After all, the criminal that he had worked so hard to find was pardoned before he received the punishment he deserved. If he turns against the criminal in the future, it would very likely bring disaster to himself.
No one can accept it.
Liang Jiugong has climbed to his current position, and his hands are not clean.
If you want to be in control, you have to be ruthless and not leave your enemies any hope.
But the emperor was obviously drunk today and didn't think so much.
The same goes for the Crown Prince. The Hall of Supreme Harmony is full of top officials and nobles. If he doesn't give His Majesty a way out, does he want His Majesty to admit that he was confused?
Are you kidding me?!
