Honghao looked at Mu Sili speechlessly. He felt that his mother had long wanted to throw the four of them out so that she could have some time for herself with her father.
"Yes, mother, don't worry. I know that my brothers are so well-behaved. I think they won't cause any trouble after entering the palace."
"That's good. Come, send the princes and princesses into the palace."
"yes."
As soon as the four left, Yinzhi and others arrived.
As soon as Yinzhen came in, he told Mu Sili about Yinzhi being made the crown prince. Mu Sili looked surprised but was calm in her heart. Wasn't it only a matter of time before Yinzhi was made the crown prince? There was no need to be surprised!
"Master, what's going on?"
Yinzhi briefly explained what had happened. Mu Sili nodded in understanding and went to arrange a banquet for them.
In the Yanx Palace, Concubine Hui was overjoyed looking at her four grandchildren. Today was such a good day. Her son had become the crown prince, and her daughter-in-law was afraid that she would be lonely, so she sent her grandchildren into the palace to accompany her.
"I never thought my boss would be so successful and actually take the throne of Crown Prince. This means I will definitely be the Empress Dowager in the future. Why does this feel so unreal?"
"Your Highness is too happy, so it seems unreal."
"Indeed, the eldest wife is pregnant, and the eldest has been appointed Crown Prince. It seems that this baby in her belly is a blessed one. I have prepared a lot of things for her before, let's send them to her."
"yes."
Since Yinzhi was named the crown prince, the court has indeed become much more stable, and Yinsi has also become quiet.
In the clan residence, the deposed prince looked out the window in despair. He thought that since Kangxi would not appoint a crown prince in the next few years, he still had a chance to get out. He did not expect that he would suddenly appoint a crown prince. It was really funny.
I think Yinzhi must be very proud at this moment. It's a pity that he will not give Yinzhi the chance to laugh at him.
Looking at the small square courtyard where he was trapped, it was time to put an end to it.
Kangxi was very uneasy. He didn't know what had happened. Then he saw Yinzhi walking in with a heavy face.
"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor."
"What happened?"
"Father Emperor, the second son... the second son committed suicide in the clan residence."
Yinzhi's eyes were slightly red. After all, they were brothers who grew up together. Even if there was something dirty going on, he didn't want him to die now.
At least he should wait until he ascends the throne before dying, otherwise who can he show off to when the time comes?
Kangxi felt his head buzzing. How could that wicked son dare to commit suicide? He had indeed been blind to make him the crown prince. He had no sense of responsibility at all.
"After all, he is my son, and a legitimate one. Even though he did something wrong, his debts are forgiven when he dies. I will bury him according to the standards of a Beizi.
I remember he has seven daughters. You can adopt one or two of them and keep them for marriage in the future. Su Celie is one of the twins, a boy and a girl. I hope you will not send her to marry.
Forget it, I'll just pick a prince consort for her. Your taste isn't very good, and I don't really trust you."
The funeral of the deposed prince was not grand; it was just a simple ritual.
A few months later, Mu Sili gave birth, and this time it was still a little boy, which made others extremely jealous.
They all had only one or two legitimate sons, but Yinzhi was different. He had all legitimate sons and daughters, which was really enviable.
Kangxi was also happy. Thinking that Yinzhi was already the crown prince, it was time to move Huifei's position. So at the little prince's full moon banquet, he promoted Huifei to noble concubine and gave the little prince the name Hongyan.
Perhaps the sudden suicide of the deposed crown prince dealt a heavy blow to Kangxi. His health deteriorated over the next seven years. Only when he could no longer get out of bed did he summon everyone to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to instruct on his funeral arrangements.
"I ascended the throne at the age of eight, and it has been fifty years now. I wanted to carry forward the Qing Dynasty, but I didn't expect that I could only achieve mediocre results.
I have wasted too much time on stabilizing the court and consolidating the imperial power. Even when foreign enemies invaded, it was the boss who led people to deal with them.
I remember that I also had great ambitions in the past, but unfortunately I am old now and will never have the chance to show my prowess on the battlefield.
Fortunately, my children and grandchildren are not ordinary people. When the eldest brother succeeds to the throne, I will definitely place them in appropriate positions and let them carry forward the glory of the Qing Dynasty."
Although he knew that Yinzhi was not a petty person, he was still afraid that after he left, Yinzhi would be wary of his brothers and that a quarrel would break out between the brothers.
When he thought about the fact that the deposed crown prince had done those things because he was afraid of his brothers, he was afraid that Yinzhi would learn from him.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. My brothers are all outstanding people, and each has their own strengths. If we brothers work together, we will surely develop the Qing Dynasty into a prosperous era. You don't have to worry."
Yinzhi's eyes were full of seriousness. What he said was true. To be honest, except for the prince, he didn't have many dirty things to do with other people, and he was willing to use them.
After all, his ability is limited. Since someone is using it, why not use it?
Kangxi knew that Yinzhi was serious and was satisfied. He directly issued an order to pass the throne to Yinzhen, and then died in the Qianqing Palace three days later.
Yinzhi ascended the throne after sending Kangxi to the imperial mausoleum. The first thing he did after ascending the throne was to make Mu Sili the queen and honor Concubine Hui as the empress dowager.
The four concubines of Yi, De, Rong and Cheng were honored as noble concubines. Concubine De was originally just a concubine, but Mu Sili said that she could deal with Yinzhen well, so she was promoted together with her.
The rest of the imperial concubines and noble ladies were promoted one level higher according to the rules. Concubine Hui became the empress dowager and moved into the Cining Palace on the same day. Seeing this, the others also vacated their palaces and moved into the back hall of the Cining Palace.
Yinzhi, Yinzhen, Yinqi, Yinyou and Yinsi were granted the title of princes; Yinlu, Yinzhe and Yinlu, who rarely appeared in public, were granted the title of dukes; Yinxiang and Yinzhi were granted the title of beile.
The rest were too young and were all given the title of Beizi.
Next were Honghao and others. Honghao was directly appointed as the crown prince. Yinzhi also told him to familiarize himself with the process as quickly as possible and take over as soon as possible, which left Honghao speechless.
My father just ascended the throne, why is he thinking of stepping down? Is there a needle under the throne that is too prickly?
As the only princess, Su Celie was given the title of Princess Gulun Huaijin, while Hongyu, Honghan and the youngest Hongyan were all given the title of princes.
In Yinzhi's words, they were still young, so there was no need to rush to confer titles on them. They could wait until Honghao ascended the throne and then slowly promote them. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if Honghao did not receive any titles after he ascended the throne.
During Yinzhi's reign, if foreign enemies invaded, he no longer needed to take action personally. Yinzhen and Yinzhen led the troops to fight and won every battle. They had become the new generation of war gods of the Qing Dynasty.
Since Yinzhi was good at literature, he was sent by Yinzhi to edit books. Yinzhen was cold and selfless, and very intimidating. Since he was sent to the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue has had a lot more silver.
Yinqi, Yinyou and Yinsi were in charge of foreign affairs. Yinsi had thought that since he had coveted the position of crown prince, Yinzhi would be wary of him and would not give him a high position. Unexpectedly, Yinzhi directly made him a prince.
