Some people were still unhappy that the prince had shown no mercy to Chang Ning when he investigated the case at the beginning of the year.
The smile on Chang Ning's face widened.
"This shows that the Emperor has a keen eye and can see that the Third Prince is both virtuous and talented. We should spend more time with him in the future."
He had long disliked the prince, and now that he had the chance, of course he would make things difficult for him.
What happened to the prince?
As long as you don't sit on the throne, you are not the real master.
Fuquan glanced at him and frowned.
"Fifth Brother, you'd better not mess around. Which son the emperor favors is his family affair. Don't get involved."
"Don't worry, second brother. I know my limits."
Fuquan opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.
When Taizu was still conquering the world, the succession to the Khan throne was accompanied by blood and rain.
The inheritance mechanism of the Manchus is not like that of the Han people, with complete rules to follow.
If not for this, Dorgon and others would not have been so happy when the Emperor was seriously ill.
The emperor appointed Yinreng as the crown prince, obviously wanting to establish the rules of succession to the throne.
But now it seems that the position under the prince is obviously not very stable.
The ministers sitting in the hall were all whispering, and the conversation between Chang Ning and his companions was not noticeable.
Moreover, they are not afraid even if someone hears them.
They were just praising the Third Prince, and they didn't do anything outrageous.
After Yinzhi's wedding, even though the weather was extremely hot, Yinreng did not plan to stay in Kyoto.
Kangxi has been very active recently, and Yinreng doesn't want to hang around him, so as not to be affected when he gets crazy.
Yinreng’s idea was good, but Kangxi felt that his method had finally worked, so how could he let Yinreng leave Beijing so easily?
So, on the grounds that she felt sorry for Yinreng's miserable summer, she rejected his application to leave Beijing.
When he came out of the Qianqing Palace, Yinreng's face looked extremely sour.
What kind of evil taste does this old man have?
Others like to watch the women in the harem jealous of each other, but he likes to watch his sons jealous of each other.
Did you inject hyaluronic acid into your brain?
There's no wrinkles at all!
Yinreng cursed in his heart and returned to Yuqing Palace, telling the eunuchs and palace maids not to pack his luggage anymore.
Then he ran to the Zhanshi Mansion.
Being so close to Kangxi, he felt the air was full of oppression.
In the next two or three days, rewards flowed into Yinzhi's mansion like water.
After being reminded by Yinreng, Yinzhi and the others did not have any bad thoughts about Yinzhi being favored.
But the few little guys who had not yet entered the court could no longer sit still.
"Second brother, aren't you going to teach the third brother a lesson? Are you going to let him run wild like this?!"
Looking at Yinzhen and the others standing in front of him, with expressions of righteous indignation, Yinreng felt his head starting to hurt again.
How was he going to explain this to these little brats?
It is said that Kangxi favored Yinzhi on the surface, but was actually using him?
He said that even these hot-blooded little guys couldn't believe it!
"Children, don't meddle in adult matters! Also, can you call him Lao San? He's your third brother!"
Hearing the word "child" come out of Yinreng's mouth, Yinzhen was immediately unhappy.
“Second brother!”
He is at the age where he needs to save face, how can he tolerate others still treating him as a child?
Yinreng sighed. The little guy's thoughts were so obvious, how could he not guess it? It was true that he was standing up for him, but it was also true that he was jealous of Yinzhi for being favored by Kangxi.
"I can't explain this to you. Just go back and ask your fifth brother and you'll know."
Yinzhen was obviously not happy with the answer and wanted to say a few more words when Yinreng ordered him to leave.
"My second brother still has some things to deal with. If you want to play in Yuqing Palace for a while, that's fine, but you have to keep your voices down."
Seeing this, Yinzhen knew that he could not get an answer from his second brother, the Crown Prince, so he left Yuqing Palace in a huff.
Among the four or five people, Yinzhen was the youngest and was still a little confused at the moment.
"Brother Jiu, where are we going next?"
Yinzhen thought for a moment and decided,
"You guys go back to the prince's residence first. I'll go to Fifth Brother and ask him about it. Then we can discuss it."
He hadn't really wanted to bring Yinlu and the other three with him in the first place, but now he realized that there was no point in bringing them along, so of course he had to get rid of them.
Yinlu and Yinxiang had no objection and agreed on the spot.
Yinzhen was somewhat unhappy.
He has always wanted to squeeze into the circle of Eighth Brother and Ninth Brother. Ninth Brother has many ideas and can play with him, unlike Twelve and Thirteen, who talk about rules all day long and are so annoying.
"Then when will you find out clearly, Brother Jiu?"
"Soon! I'll come find you once I know the reason!"
In order to get rid of Yinzhen, Yinzhen rarely acted seriously.
"Then come find me quickly..."
After receiving the promise, Yinzhen stopped worrying and went back to the prince's residence with Yinxiang and Yinlu.
Yinzhen took Yinxi to the residence of the fifth prince Yinqi.
The other side.
Ministry of Rites.
Yinzhi was in a good mood. He greeted the officials from the Ministry of Rites who were still busy, and walked out.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw Yinzhen waiting outside.
The smile on Yinzhi's face faded a little, but he still walked forward to greet him enthusiastically.
"Old Four!"
Yinzhen watched Yinzhi approaching, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Third brother."
"You came here specially to wait for me today, is there something important?"
Yinzhi knew he couldn't avoid it today, so he went straight to the point.
Yinzhen glanced in front of the yamen. The people coming and going on the road made it clear that this was not a suitable place for talking.
Yinzhi thought about it and brought the people to the yamen. The pavilion was spacious and there was no need to worry about someone eavesdropping on their conversation.
"Third brother, do you really take what you said in front of me and my eldest brother in the abode seriously?"
Yinzhi was stunned for a moment, then asked,
"Do you think I want to compete with my second brother for the position of crown prince?"
Yinzhen looked at Yinzhi steadily and ignored his question.
"Answer me directly, yes or no!"
Yinzhi frowned. Being questioned by Yinzhen made him feel that his status as an elder brother was being challenged.
"I said... no!"
Hearing the word "no", Yinzhen lowered his eyelids and tightened his hands behind his back unconsciously.
"Since you said so, I believe it..."
Yinzhi's expression also relaxed.
"My second brother truly treats me as his younger brother. How could I possibly betray his trust?"
Yinzhen snorted in his heart. If he was really so sure, he would not have asked back just now, but would have given the answer directly.
"You know, my second brother never minded us competing with him for the position of crown prince. The reason for this is..."
He wanted to say that he had guessed something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't say it.
