He wanted to see whether Yinzhen would plead for the prince and how he would plead. After all, he wanted to show his loyalty to the prince, so he should plead sincerely, right?
"This is not your concern. Go back and rest. I am tired too."
"Then my son will go back. Father Huang, please take good rest and don't overwork yourself."
The next morning, Yinzhen, who had just finished court, went to the Qianqing Palace to plead for the prince.
He didn't know that Yinzhi had already pleaded for the prince, and he thought he was the first person to plead for the prince.
"Father, my second brother is the crown prince. Even if he made a mistake, he should be given a chance to correct it, instead of confining him to Yuqing Palace. This will have a great impact on his position as crown prince."
"Is that so? Why wouldn't I think so? Since he is the crown prince, he should have the awareness to lead by example instead of treating human life lightly."
He thought that after he said this, Yinzhen would continue to plead for the prince, after all, that was his purpose. Unexpectedly, Yinzhen thought that he was unwilling to plead for him, so he didn't say anything.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that there were few sincere people in this palace. If Yinzhi had not pleaded with the prince yesterday, he might have kept Yinzhen in his heart.
It is true that he raised the prince, but his mind is not on the right path. If he is allowed to ascend to the throne, the Qing Dynasty will be in danger.
"Fourth Brother, I want to ask you a question, and you must answer me truthfully."
"Please speak, Father. I will tell you everything I know."
"I'm asking you, does the Crown Prince often beat and kill palace maids at will? Not only that, but he also doesn't take officials and civilians seriously?"
Yinzhen nodded slightly. Didn’t he just ignore them?
He always thought that he was the crown prince, and these people were just servants who were not worthy of being on the stage. How could he treat them well?
Before, he beat and killed palace servants behind their backs, but now it’s different. He kills them directly and openly, which shows that he really doesn’t take the servants seriously.
"I knew he was not a good person. It seems that my choice was correct. The Crown Prince is not worthy of the position of Crown Prince. Fourth Brother, if it were up to you to choose, who do you think is more suitable to be the Crown Prince?"
Yinzhen didn't want to answer this question, as he felt that any answer would be wrong.
But now that things have come to this, if he doesn't answer, the emperor will definitely think that he has no opinion.
It was just a matter of answering the question of who was more suitable to be the crown prince. Regardless of whether the crown prince was under house arrest or not, his answer had to be the crown prince himself.
"Father, my second brother's becoming the crown prince was determined when he was born. You cannot abandon him."
The corners of Kangxi's mouth twitched unconsciously. His son could actually say that, but what a pity, he didn't believe it.
"Why am I asking you this question out of the blue? You're a member of the Prince's Party, so naturally you support him.
So, let me ask you another question: who do you think is more suitable for the position of crown prince, the eldest or the third?"
Yinzhen's face looked a little unhappy. He considered his eldest brother and third brother but not him, right?
How was he inferior to them? After all, he was Empress Xiaoyi's adopted son. Although not as noble as the Crown Prince, he was much better than his elder brothers, wasn't he? After all, his biological mother was Consort De.
"Why, this question is hard to answer?"
"Father, it's not that I don't want to answer your question, it's just that I don't know how to answer it."
"Since you don't know how to answer, then don't answer. Go back. The prince will never release you. Just give up."
Yinzhen did not continue to pester Kangxi, but listened to Kangxi and went back. Seeing his back as he left, Kangxi suddenly felt that he was a fake person.
"Who would have thought that among all my sons, only Xiao Ba sincerely hoped that I would release the Crown Prince? However, the Crown Prince cannot be released, and it is not easy for the country."
"Your Majesty is right. The Eighth Prince is pure and kind, a rare and virtuous prince. It's not surprising that he would plead for the Crown Prince."
"Are you trying to say that even if it were someone else, he would still plead for him?"
Kangxi's face looked a little bad. Did that dog slave Liang Jiugong do it on purpose?
He dared to respond to anything, he was really good to him!
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me. I just said whatever I thought. How can you blame me? I am very sad."
"Sad? I'll make you sad right now. Go and clean the floor of the Palace of Heavenly Purity for me. If you don't, you won't be able to eat today."
Liang Jiugong felt terrible. What sin had he committed to deserve such a master?
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I really didn't mean it. I'm old now, so why don't you just show some respect?"
He looked at Kangxi with hopeful eyes, trying to make him soften his heart, but Kangxi just sneered and said, "Isn't it too late to beg for mercy now?"
Liang Jiugong understood that it seemed that he had to clear this land. His life was too hard, and the emperor didn't feel sorry for him at all.
"I understand. I will go and clean it right away. Your Majesty, don't worry. For this dinner, I will clean the floor thoroughly."
Anyway, the emperor didn't say that he couldn't arrange for help, but he still didn't believe it. He took a group of servants to clean it up, but it still couldn't be cleaned thoroughly.
It's impossible for the emperor to starve him.
In Yuqing Palace, the prince thought that since Yinzhen had pleaded for him, the emperor would definitely forgive him.
Unexpectedly, he waited for several days but still received no decree to lift the ban. At that moment, he knew that the emperor would not forgive him.
"How could I have such a father? Does he really not care about the father-son relationship at all?
Well, since he is so cruel, don't blame me for taking his life for that position. Who told me to be so cruel and ruthless? "
The prince knew that now was a good time to make arrangements, so he directly arranged for Soetu to prepare everything. When the time was right, it would be the best time for them to force the emperor to abdicate.
Time passed quickly, and Mu Sili took action. When she did, Yinsi was still arguing in the Palace of Purity about leaving the palace and building his own residence.
"Father, please let your son leave the palace. Look for yourself. The palace has been in a state of chaos these past few months. Your wife is pregnant with twins. Aren't you afraid she might get a miscarriage?"
Both Kangxi and Yinsi were shocked that Mu Sili was pregnant with twins. The royal family had never had twins before, so this pregnancy of hers was really important.
"It is precisely because this baby is so important that I don't want you to leave the palace now. Otherwise, why would I keep you here? Do you think I can't bear to let you go?"
Yinsi looked at him with a smile on his face. Wasn't he reluctant to let him go? If he was willing, he would have let him leave the palace long ago.
"Doesn't your conscience hurt when you say this, Father? If you hadn't stopped me, my son would be enjoying himself outside the palace right now.
You don't know that my ninth and tenth brothers have received a lot of overseas orders and are now making a lot of money, and my son is also benefiting from it."
