After Kangxi's anger subsided, several secret decrees were sent out from the Qianqing Palace and quickly spread outside the palace.
After finishing all the work, Kangxi sat on the bed in a middle-length shirt, and suddenly remembered the instructions issued a few days ago, so he asked,
"How are the investigations going with Liang Jiugong, Mingzhu, and Yu Guozhu?"
Liang Jiugong Dao,
"Replying to Your Majesty, there is no progress for the time being."
In the light of the candle, Kangxi's slightly cold expression seemed somewhat gloomy and unclear.
In fact, Kangxi had some understanding of the behavior of Mingzhu, Soetu and others outside the palace.
But as long as they didn't go too far, Kangxi would usually turn a blind eye.
After all, there will be no fish in clear water.
People with weaknesses and leverage are easier to control.
Once they touched Kangxi's bottom line, he would deal with them without mercy.
No matter who it is, he will not allow him to threaten the stability of the Qing Dynasty.
Since Yinreng said in his heart that Mingzhu could only jump for a year or two, it meant that Mingzhu had touched his bottom line in the previous life. He now urgently wanted to know in advance what Mingzhu and Yu Guozhu had done.
But Mingzhu had been in the court for many years and was usually very good at dealing with people. Even those he could not win over had a good relationship with him.
So the investigation cannot be completed overnight.
Kangxi could understand and had the patience to wait.
The Chinese New Year is less than a month away. It would be unlucky to start a war now. Let's wait and see the results of the investigation after the New Year.
The next day's lessons for Yinreng and Yinzhi remained the same.
Geng Jie was the one who gave lectures to Yinzhi.
Compared to Dahata, Gengjie is less temperamental.
Her attitude towards Yinzhi was softer and she nagged him more often.
It was so annoying that Yinzhi became a little impatient and even couldn't help scolding Gengjie several times.
As a result, Gengjie's teaching effect was not as good as Dahata's, and Kangxi soon learned about Yinzhi's performance.
He shook his head in his heart.
Even though he did not take the prince's teachers seriously, Kangxi still recognized their teaching level.
If Yinzhi scolded Gengjie for something else, Kangxi would have no opinion at all and might even praise him for doing a good job.
However, when it came to imparting knowledge, Yinzhi disagreed and even refuted and scolded him, which made Kangxi a little angry.
So when Yinzhi's answers were still unsatisfactory during the routine evening inspection of homework, Kangxi scolded Yinzhi severely.
Yinreng stood aside, his eyes looking at his nose, and his nose looking at his heart.
Yinzhi was angry but dared not speak. He was not convinced, but his fear of his father prevented him from even showing such emotions.
After Kangxi scolded Yinzhi, he no longer had the mood to test Yinreng's true feelings.
So he took his men directly back to the Qianqing Palace.
On the way back to Yuqing Palace, Yinzhi was dejected.
Yinreng wanted to say something to comfort him, but he was afraid that he would think he was gloating, so he said nothing in the end.
After returning to Yuqing Palace, Yinreng felt hungry, so he asked the kitchen to cook noodles for him.
After thinking about it, he sent someone to the next door to ask Yinzhi if he wanted to eat.
Yinzhi was reading by lamplight at night and had no time to pay attention to him.
So Yinreng enjoyed a bowl of mutton bone broth noodles alone, then took a bath and fell into a sweet dream.
On the third, fourth and fifth days after that, Yinzhi spent his time being scolded.
In fact, he was a little mentally unbalanced when he was scolded for the first time. After returning to the palace, he tried hard to read books to redeem himself. However, the more eager he was for quick success, the worse the effect of his reading became. Kangxi really didn't tolerate him and scolded him when he should.
Even on the last day, Kangxi deliberately chose Yinzhi to answer first because he felt that there was no comparison with Yinreng. Maybe he thought Yinzhi's answer was not bad, but the result was still messy.
So when Yinreng answered, Kangxi took the opportunity to scold him because his tone was too flat.
The reason was that he did not show sadness about his brother being scolded.
Yinreng: “……?”
"Let me ask you something."
"I wasn't the one being scolded, so why should I show sadness?"
"Is it because I'm not gloating over other people's misfortunes that I'm morally upright? What kind of habit is this old man? He is him and I am me. How can anyone empathize with others' suffering?"
Yinreng lowered his head, but kept muttering in his heart.
When Kangxi saw him like this, his anger grew even stronger.
"It seems you are still quite unconvinced?!"
Yinreng: "My son knows his mistake."
"I know I'm wrong, but why don't you sympathize with the poor people? Have you ever experienced their lives? You always tell others to be kind and respectful to each other..."
"Buzz!"
The tension in Kangxi's heart was already breaking completely.
"Liang Jiugong!"
"The servant is here."
"Go, drag this rebellious son down to me and beat him, beat him hard!"
"What the hell?!"
Yinreng raised his head instantly, and what he saw was Kangxi's hideous face. His whole body turned cold in an instant, and his mind went blank.
Liang Jiugong felt a pang in his heart when he saw Kangxi's extremely angry expression.
The Crown Prince used to be the Emperor's favorite, so why is he suddenly being dragged down and beaten this time?
Everything was normal just now.
However, since Kangxi had spoken the truth, Liang Jiugong did not dare to openly disobey his order, so he could only call a few eunuchs to carry Yinreng out.
It was not until he lay on the bench that he came to his senses.
Yinreng was about to be beaten, and his fear grew stronger.
But he couldn't figure out what he had just done to make Kangxi so angry.
Yinzhi didn’t answer well, so shouldn’t he be beaten?
