In fact, Emperor Kangxi still protected Yinzhi. In the royal family, no matter was trivial. In ordinary families, it was no big deal for brothers to fight. At most, they would kneel in the ancestral hall or get a few lashes.
In the royal family, things were different. To put it mildly, he beat his younger brother, showed no brotherly affection, and was cruel. If that were the case, Yinzhi would have no future.
To put it bluntly, beating the crown prince is an act that undermines the foundation of the state, is audacious and reckless, and shows a lack of loyalty to the emperor and father—a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family. If those pedantic scholars find out, they'll impeach you.
Therefore, before Yinzhi entered, Emperor Kangxi warned the princes not to tell anyone. Li Dequan, the Grand Eunuch, personally went to warn the servants present. The Grand Tutor also sent someone to give some rewards, saying that raising the prince was hard work, etc. In short, he wanted to keep his mouth shut.
oh,
You asked why Kangxi handled things so skillfully?
Because it's not the first time.
Especially during the first two years after Yinzhi returned to the palace as a child, he was beaten no less than 10 times, demonstrating his skill.
As they grew older, although they still disliked each other, they didn't fight as much.
They started bickering.
In short, the two brothers grew up in this love-hate relationship. Kangxi saw that their little squabbles could still motivate them to study, so he let them be.
In fact, this punishment was similar to kneeling in the ancestral hall for ordinary people, and Yinzhi knew this, so he obediently went.
Just as they reached the door, they heard the Crown Prince say, "Father, I also bear responsibility for this matter. My elder brother and I will kneel together."
"Yes, it is the Crown Prince who truly understands brotherly love and respect," Emperor Kangxi exclaimed.
Yinzhi paused upon hearing the Crown Prince's voice, and then the conversation between the Crown Prince and his father made him grit his teeth.
After kneeling for two hours, the Crown Prince began to sway. After all, he had been pampered since childhood. Although he was good at riding, archery, and horsemanship, he could not compare with a man like Yinzhi who had been on the battlefield.
Yinzhi gave him a disdainful look, but remained kneeling upright.
Almost another half hour passed, and Yinzhi also felt some discomfort, as if his knees no longer belonged to him. However, he stubbornly refused to sway, as if this made him stronger than the Crown Prince.
It must be said that Yinzhi also had a childlike nature, after all, he was still young, an 18-year-old boy.
At this moment, Kangxi finally finished dealing with government affairs, walked to the Fengxian Hall, looked at his two sons with big heads, asked them if they had figured it out, and then, without waiting for them to speak, gave them a lecture.
They're told to be loving and set an example for the other sons; they're all fathers now, they should be role models for their children. Okay, one's a father now, and the other's about to become one.
They should help each other and strive to share the burdens of the previous dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. How can you two still have the nerve to look at your ancestors?
Finally, to summarize, I asked them to copy the sections "Entering the Home, Be Filial" and "Leaving the Home, Be Respectful to Elders" from the *Di Zi Gui* (Standards for Being a Good Student and Child) 120 times each.
This same punishment made Yinzhi feel better, but the next sentence displeased him again, because Kangxi patted the Crown Prince's shoulder with concern: "This is a blood-activating and stasis-removing ointment. I just had the imperial physician send it over. Have your palace eunuchs apply a hot compress to your knee first, and then apply this ointment. It works quite well. Remember to apply it again to the injury on your face when you get back. Be careful and rest for a while before going back."
...After rambling on and on, he noticed that the other big-headed son was still standing there blankly, so he pointed outside and said, "Li Dequan saw that the eunuchs from your mother's palace have been waiting outside for a while. Go and see if something has happened to your mother."
Emperor Kangxi noticed a slight embarrassment in his eldest son's eyes, but who was Emperor Kangxi? How could he be embarrassed? It was only for a fraction of a second, and he quickly changed the subject.
Upon hearing this, Yinzhi knew that his mother had sent someone to deliver medicine to him.
He thought to himself: Hmph! What's with the arrogance? I'm a man with a mother.
