Yinzhi and Yinzhen both looked at Yinzhi.
"Third brother, what did the second brother say to you yesterday?"
"Why did Third Brother say that?"
Yinzhi took a sip of the teacup and carefully recalled everything that had happened over the years. He did not answer the two of them, but asked Yinzhi,
"Why doesn't the eldest brother fight with the second brother?"
Yinzhi was stunned, not understanding why he suddenly asked this question.
"Why are you asking that?"
"Second brother doesn't want to be the crown prince. I don't believe you two can't sense it!"
Yinzhi said without hesitation.
These words successfully shut Yinzhi and Yinzhen up.
Yinzhi saw the expressions of the two and sighed in understanding.
"So, my second brother is happy to see this situation today!"
Yinzhi's temples throbbed twice.
"I don't understand. He's clearly the most suitable person for that position. Why does he keep refusing?"
He rarely admired others, and the only time he did so was for Yinreng.
So Yinzhi really didn't understand why Yinreng was so resistant to the throne.
Yinzhen thought for a moment and said,
"My second brother once told me that he wanted to escape from this cage-like place and see the outside world."
When Yinzhi heard this, he glanced at Yinzhen as if he were a fool.
"What's the impact? Once he takes that position, won't he have any chance to get out?"
Once you have power, you can go anywhere. Just look at the Emperor and you will know.
The Emperor has often left the capital in recent years to escape the summer heat, go on autumn hunts, and tour the south. Aren’t these all reasons to go out and have fun?
If he doesn't take that position, he will even have to report before leaving the capital.
If any of the brothers who sit in that position is unwilling, he will be trapped in the capital for the rest of his life, which is no different from being in prison.
"But we have to come back eventually, don't we? Second brother said that this place is a cage to him. Now that he has broken free, he naturally doesn't want to come back here!"
Yinzhen did not quite agree with what his elder brother said.
"Besides, the Qing Dynasty has a vast territory. Since you've taken on that position, you have to shoulder the responsibility, right? Do you want my second brother to be the king of a fallen country?"
Seeing that he was speaking without thinking, Yinzhi glared at him warningly and then stopped his elder brother from speaking.
"Stop arguing, things are not what you two think!"
Yinzhi snorted coldly, glared at Yinzhen, the little bastard, and then moved his gaze to the other little bastard.
"It's not what I thought. What is it?"
He always believed that power was most secure when it was in his own hands.
Just like the musket in his hand.
"Second brother hates him!"
Yinzhi uttered these four words coldly, not paying attention to the mocking look that suddenly appeared on their faces, and then said,
"Although I don't understand why my second brother hates him, he hates him so much that he would rather die without an heir than follow the path he planned for him..."
It was a very strange feeling. His second brother hadn't told him anything explicitly, but he just felt that his second brother hated him.
Yinzhi sneered,
"What the hell are you talking about?"
After staying in the military camp for a long time, the way he spoke became more and more impolite.
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not..."
Yinzhi stood up, his face full of impatience.
"My second brother is the one who loves children the most among all of us, but why has he been childless for many years, and the Emperor and the Imperial Hospital haven't made any move? There is only one possibility—"
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked outside.
"That means the Emperor only recently found out about this... I advise you two to stay out of other people's business. Second brother doesn't need to, and the other one might be watching. Who dares to jump out first..."
After Yinzhi left, Yinzhi and Yinzhen were left alone in deep thought.
Although they all felt that what Yinzhi said was a bit ridiculous, there was one point they could not refute.
That is, Yinreng likes children very much.
He was very kind to all his brothers and sisters, and even their own children would receive birthday gifts from Yinreng every year.
But even such a person who loves children to the core doesn't care at all whether he has offspring or not.
Does he really not want to be the crown prince?
On the other hand, after learning the news, Yinzhen immediately asked about the source of the news. After confirming that someone was fanning the flames behind the scenes, he directly asked the intelligence organization under his command to investigate the person behind the scenes.
In the following days, the capital city fell into an eerie silence, but everyone knew what kind of turbulent waves were hidden beneath this tranquility.
Everyone is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to openly attack the Eastern Palace.
But these few short days were so difficult to endure that some people with ulterior motives became extremely anxious while waiting.
So at the grand court meeting that day, someone finally couldn't sit still anymore.
"Your humble servant, please submit a report. The Book of Rites states, 'The Crown Prince raises the sons of the state.' The continuation of the Crown Prince's lineage is crucial to the foundation of the state. If the Crown Prince has no heir, the country is in danger. I hope Your Majesty will take this into consideration!"
Kangxi raised his eyelids and recognized the man as Wang Sishi, the Left Vice Minister of Rites.
Wang Sishi was a man of considerable learning. In addition to being the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, he also served as a scholar in the Hanlin Academy. However, he had a bit of a "fame-seeking" nature, which Kangxi did not like very much.
But Kangxi was still a little surprised that he was the first one to jump out today.
Surprised, Kangxi turned his head to look at Yinzhi who was standing in front of him with an expressionless face. If he remembered correctly, Wang Sishi had defected to Yinzhi a few years ago.
Regardless of whether it was Yinzhi's instruction or not, he cannot be separated from the responsibility.
Kangxi smiled and spoke in an unusually gentle voice.
"Your Majesty Wang is absolutely right. I have already ordered the imperial physician to nurse the Crown Princess and the others back to health."
"this……"
After hearing this, Wang Sishi choked for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the Minister of Rites, Shamuha.
When Kangxi saw this, a faint light flashed in his eyes.
Shamuha felt all the hairs on his body stand up——
This trash!
It really killed him.
Things have come to this point. If they don't take action, both the Minister of Rites and the Vice Minister may be implicated, which is a situation they don't want to see.
then--
"Your Majesty, if the Crown Prince has no heir, people will be uneasy. Moreover, the responsibility of being childless does not lie entirely with women. The Eastern Palace has been childless for many years. I personally think that the Crown Prince also needs to be taken care of!"
When these words came out, even Yinreng was a little surprised.
"I originally thought that Lü Bu was already invincible. Who is this? Following Fucha Maqi, he must be the national server troll of the Hanlin Academy. Wow, so powerful!"
Yinreng didn't recognize him, but Kangxi knew who he was: the newly promoted deputy censor of the Inspectorate, Ma Jia Yueqi.
Last name: Ma Jia...
Kangxi frowned deeply.
As soon as Ma Jia Yue Qi finished speaking, the court officials came forward one after another.
"Your Majesty, what the two adults said is not without reason. The emperor has no family affairs, and the succession to the throne is related to the foundation of the country and cannot be neglected!"
