Emperor Kangxi was also somewhat bewildered by the Crown Prince's blank expression. The rumors had been circulating for days, yet the Crown Prince was completely unaware of them. He really didn't know what to say to him.
He wasn't unconcerned about the Crown Prince's despondency, but when it reached this point, he couldn't feel any more pity.
After all, the Crown Prince has already given up on himself.
Do you know anything about Hongxi's recent situation?
The Crown Prince said, "I know about the fight between Hongxi and his two younger brothers a few days ago. I will keep a closer eye on Hongxi from now on."
Kangxi sighed inwardly, thinking to himself, "He really is..."
That's enough, that's enough.
"Hongxi a couple of days ago..."
When Kangxi told the Crown Prince about Hongxi's affair, the Crown Prince was completely bewildered. He never expected that his son would secretly do something so serious, jumping around on his father's head. He himself was not so bold.
The Crown Prince immediately knelt down: "Father, I have failed to discipline you properly. Please forgive me."
The Crown Prince knew Kangxi's temperament well enough that admitting his mistake at this time was the best course of action; if he tried to argue, he would only anger Kangxi!
Kangxi: "Get up! It's no use admitting your mistake now."
“Hongxi is still young, and his temperament can be corrected. As his father, you should pay more attention to him. I know you are feeling down because of your health. The imperial physician said that if you take good care of yourself, there will be no major problems. We cannot let a small matter cause a big loss.”
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince felt an indescribable sense of frustration. What was small and what was big? In his eyes, the position of Crown Prince was big, and the future of the Qing Dynasty was big. As for Hongxi, he could not be called small, but he could not compare to the weight of the position of Crown Prince in his heart.
"Your subject understands."
Emperor Kangxi was unsure whether he had taken it all to heart, but he had said what he needed to say and then dismissed him.
Upon returning to Yuqing Palace, the Crown Prince summoned Hongxi for an audience.
Hongxi hadn't seen the Crown Prince for a long time, and upon hearing this news, his face showed utter surprise.
"Why did Father suddenly decide to see me?"
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince did not say anything, so this servant naturally does not know either."
Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of her, Hongxi stopped asking.
Upon arriving at the Crown Prince's study, Hongxi greeted him respectfully: "Your son greets Father."
The crown prince's expression was not good: "Get up."
After Hongxi got up, he asked, "Why did Father call his son over today?"
The Crown Prince then spoke frankly: "Just now, Father Emperor summoned me to the Qianqing Palace, and Father Emperor told me some things about you..."
After the Crown Prince finished speaking, Hongxi knelt down with a thud.
“Father, son…son knows he was wrong.”
The Crown Prince didn't let him get up and continued, "My health isn't good, so don't bother yourself. Just study diligently. If anyone bullies you, I naturally won't let them. As for other things, that's not your job. You even dared to scheme against your father! If your father hadn't discovered it early this time, and if the rumors had continued, you would have been completely finished. I might not even be able to defeat my brothers, how could you?"
After Hongxi came out from the Crown Prince's place, his face was expressionless.
After listening to the Crown Prince's words, he realized that he had done many foolish things, but he was unwilling to give up.
Grandfather looks healthy and strong; he has a long future ahead of him! He is not content to be just a prince or a prince in the future.
Given the chance to rule the world, who would willingly submit to anyone?!
However, he is still young and doesn't have many people under his command, so he can't let go of anything he does. There's plenty of time ahead, and he can't bring himself to give up.
After this incident, Hongxi became completely obedient.
