Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's brows unconsciously furrowed.
“No way…”
In his opinion, with the ability of that fool Prince An, he could not influence the change of the throne at all.
Yinreng glanced at Yinzhen, and then a hint of intriguing smile appeared on his face.
"Do you think Prince An's Mansion is not a cause for concern?"
Yinzhen curled his lips and did not answer, but Yinreng could see something from the indifference on his face.
Yinreng burst out laughing.
Historically, Yongzheng was suppressed by various parties at the beginning of his reign, the most typical representative of which was the "Eighth Prince Party" led by Yinsi.
At that time, the power held by Yinsi was even enough to compete with that of Yongzheng, who had just ascended the throne.
The lineage of Prince An is the core of the core of the "Eighth Master Party".
Yinzhen probably has no idea about the royal family's right to speak in the court now. Once he is severely beaten, he will not think so.
"Don't underestimate Prince An's Mansion. How long has Yue Le been dead? The plaque on the door of Prince An's Mansion has long been changed to 'Prince Jun Mansion', but everyone still habitually calls it 'Prince An's Mansion'. Doesn't this explain the problem?"
Yinreng knew that his brothers looked down on Marhun, but in fact Marhun was not as bad as they imagined.
Since Yue Le's death, Malhun has continued to carry on Yue Le's legacy. He not only made friends with Manchu and Han scholars, but also frequently interacted with members of the royal family and veteran nobles.
Yue Le's descendants are even more popular among the royal family than this group of princes.
From this point of view, Malhun is not stupid at all, but a ruthless person who pretends to be ignorant while knowing the truth.
In the original history, Kangxi "married" Yinsi to Prince An's Mansion with the intention of letting Yinsi consolidate the power of the Zhenglan Banner. However, the Eighth Prince consolidated the power and became the leader of the Zhenglan Banner himself.
Kangxi seemed to have achieved his goal, but in fact he had "raised" a big father for himself, who became the biggest obstacle to his restoration as the crown prince.
Even though he had tried his best to guard against Yinsi, he was unable to stop the expansion of the "Eighth Prince Party" until his death.
You must know that even Ma Qi, Li Guangdi, Tong Guowei and others clearly supported Yinsi in the end. These people were all the loyal ministers trained by Kangxi.
Yinreng speculated maliciously that Kangxi finally chose Yinzhen in order to disgust Yinsi.
After all, Yinsi's behavior is similar to that in Hong Kong movies, where a small policeman who has been undercover for decades has become a hidden boss.
Yinzhen is like the protagonist of a cool novel who follows the "win without effort" template.
emmmm……
It doesn’t seem quite appropriate. In which exciting novel does the male protagonist die of exhaustion in the end?
His son Qianlong is the male protagonist of the cool novel.
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen fell silent.
He had never looked at Prince An's Mansion from this perspective before. After being reminded by his second brother, he realized that Marhun might not be as simple as he appeared.
Yinreng swallowed the last bite of the bun in his mouth, looked up and saw Yinzhen still struggling, and smiled faintly,
"What are you hesitating about? If the sky falls, there are tall people watching. Besides, Eighth Brother is not a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied. He was knighted at the age of seventeen. He is much more impressive than you old noobs."
The seventeen years old he mentioned was his age in nominal terms. If calculated based on his actual age, Yinsi would have been granted the title at the age of sixteen.
The eldest brother was actually twenty-five years old when he was knighted.
He is nine years older than Yinsi.
After a moment's reflection, Yinzhen finally realized the ambiguity in Yinreng's words. He was bewildered.
Traditional Chinese cuisine?
Me?
"Second brother, I am only three years older than my eighth brother."
He is only in his early twenties, why is he always helping with cooking?
"One day bigger is still bigger."
Yinzhen: “…”
"Eighth Brother's abilities are not bad, but according to you, Second Brother, Malhun is no pushover either. Can Eighth Brother really escape unscathed from his clutches?"
Yinreng asked curiously,
"Why retreat unscathed?"
Now Yinsi was dissatisfied with Kangxi marrying him into Prince An's Mansion, probably because in this life he was not as dependent on Prince An's Mansion as he was in history.
Once he tastes the benefits brought by Prince An's Mansion, perhaps he will not be as resistant as he is now.
However, no prince dares to show up in the court now. If Yinsi fails to see the situation clearly and is greedy, something bad is likely to happen.
Yinreng frowned, and the idea of reminding Yinsi in advance flashed through his mind before he forced it out.
No matter how fast Yinsi's power expands, it will not affect Kangxi in the short term. Kangxi may even be happy to see it happen.
The current court is like a stagnant pool, which is not a good thing for Kangxi.
Only by using Yinsi to muddy the stagnant waters could Kangxi better control the forces of all parties.
No matter from which perspective, Yinsi will not be liquidated by Kangxi in the next few years, but it may not be the case over time.
If he reminds Yinsi now, Kangxi's plan may be ruined. Kangxi may use other methods to force Yinsi to do things according to his ideas. At that time, Yinsi's situation will only be worse than it is now.
It’s better not to do this anymore.
“…Alright.”
Yinzhen also knew that his second brother really didn't care about the position under the Emperor.
Brothers, whoever wants it, just go ahead and grab it.
Thinking this, Yinzhen took the tea for rinsing his mouth from the eunuch, took a big sip, held it in his mouth, rinsed his teeth, and spit the water into the spittoon.
"Second brother, where are you going today?"
"suburbs."
"Then I'll go with you."
He just wanted to ask about the real cause of Longkodo's death, but because there were eyes everywhere in Yuqing Palace, he didn't dare to ask.
Yinreng saw that he seemed to be hesitant to speak several times, and he knew exactly what he wanted to ask, but the old man was in a sensitive period now, and Yinreng did not dare to discuss this matter openly with Yinzhen.
So after enslaving Yinzhen for a whole day, Yinreng said to Yinzhen:
"The third brother knows the truth."
Yinzhen understood instantly.
As soon as Longkodo died, the third brother's title was promoted by one level. It is hard not to doubt the emperor's intention in doing this.
He asked today just to confirm his guess.
Unexpectedly, after hiding it from his second brother for so long, he still couldn't hide it from his third brother.
Yinzhen felt very complicated when he thought about his third brother who was still recuperating at home after the New Year.
No wonder the second brother stopped him from telling the third brother the truth.
He had also heard about Longkodo's crimes.
His death is not a pity.
But if it were just those superficial charges, it would not be enough for the emperor to sentence Longkodo to death.
However, Longkodo did not do anything wrong in investigating and punishing the White Lotus Sect; instead, he made some contributions.
The Emperor's behavior made him seem somewhat...
A guilty conscience!
When Yinzhen learned the truth about Longkodo's death, Yinsi also made up his mind to start developing his power in the court.
No matter what the emperor's intention was, it was a huge humiliation for him.
Since the emperor wanted him to be tied to Prince An's Mansion so much, he would do as he wished.
