Seeing Tong Guowei's serious expression, Kangxi just told him to think about it first. After all, he didn't believe that Concubine Tong really just wanted to register Yinzhen under her own name.
Who knew that before he could think about it carefully, Huipin came with the eldest prince.
"This concubine pays respects to the Emperor."
"My son pays his respects to the Emperor."
"Why are you here? Have you finished your homework in the Shangshufang?"
When Yinzhi heard Kangxi asking about homework, he felt a little guilty. It would be bad to say that he was brought here by his mother before he had finished it!
"Why, you're not staying in the Shangshufang until you're done, why are you running to the Ganqing Palace?"
Yinzhi felt wronged, but he didn't dare to speak!
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I waited for Yinzhi to come and pay my respects to you.
Yinzhi is the eldest son and should set an example for his younger brothers, otherwise they will not obey him in the future."
This time even Liang Jiugong knew why she came. The crown prince had just been deposed, and Huipin couldn't sit still. If he hadn't said it, she would have been too impatient.
"You don't obey him? Why don't you obey him? Yinzhi, tell me, what do you want to do in the future?"
When Yinzhi heard Kangxi ask him what he wanted to do, his eyes lit up because he liked martial arts.
"My son wants to fight on the battlefield, make great achievements, become a general, and expand the territory for the Qing Dynasty!"
"Okay, since you are my son and have great ambition, I will arrange for the best martial arts master to teach you martial arts.
But Yinzhi, I hope you understand that you are the eldest prince, and I really don’t need you to be at the forefront all the time.
But once you are on the battlefield, you cannot retreat, because you are the face of the Qing Dynasty.
Now that you are still young, I hope you can learn and practice more. Although you like martial arts, you cannot fall behind in your studies.
I will check your homework from time to time. If you can't keep up, I will have Master Wu stop teaching you until you catch up."
Yinzhi was so happy that he almost went crazy. His original intention of coming with Huipin today was to ask Kangxi to make him the crown prince.
Although he did not want to be the crown prince, it was difficult to disobey his mother's orders. As a filial son, he could not really go against his mother's wishes.
"Father, I promise that I will study very hard. Whether it's literature or martial arts, I will take it seriously."
Kangxi and Yinzhi were talking and laughing, completely ignoring Huipin, who was smiling stiffly beside them.
"Okay, go back with your mother. I have things to do."
"Yes, son, I'll take my leave."
"I'll take my leave."
After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Yinzhi looked at his mother and told her what he was thinking.
"Mother, the Emperor has already agreed that my son should prioritize martial arts. Please stop forcing me to study the Four Books and Five Classics. I really don't like them."
"No, you're going to be the crown prince, how can you do that without learning those things?"
"Mother, haven't you noticed yet? The Emperor never thought of letting his son become the Crown Prince. Otherwise, he wouldn't have changed the subject and asked his son to learn martial arts.
Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all the emperor's grace. If the emperor really wants his son to be the crown prince, you don't need to say anything, the position of crown prince will be his.
If the emperor doesn't want to, no matter how outstanding his son is, he will never be able to sit in that position.
My son heard that the Emperor is going to confer a title of consort on you. As the biological mother of the Emperor's eldest son, the Emperor will not let you stay in the position of concubine forever.
But after what you did today, the Emperor won't give you a high position. Mother, stop clinging to power. Wouldn't it be nice to wait until your son is older, get married, and have grandchildren to accompany you?"
Grandson or granddaughter?
Huipin, who was originally unwilling to let the throne of crown prince slip away from her hands, was taken advantage of. It would not be a bad idea if she could have a lovely grandson or granddaughter.
"I understand. What I did today was wrong. You can do whatever you want in the future. But there is one thing: find a wife for my mother as soon as possible."
"Okay, son, thank you for your consideration."
In Chengqian Palace, Concubine Tong had already heard that Concubine Hui had brought Yinzhi to see Kangxi, and that both of them were very happy. Could it be that Kangxi had already decided to make Yinzhi the crown prince?
"Someone, ask the Fourth Prince to come back."
"yes."
As soon as Yinzhen came back, he saw Concubine Tong looking worried. He was a little confused. His mother had never looked like this before. What happened?
"Mother? What's wrong with you?"
"Yinzhen, my mother is asking you, do you want to be the crown prince?"
"Prince?"
Yinzhen was puzzled. Although the crown prince had been deposed, it was never his turn to be the crown prince.
The eldest brother is the eldest prince, so even if the emperor wants to establish the heir, he will choose him first. If all else fails, there is still the third brother.
The third brother's mother is a favorite concubine, and he has brothers to help him, not to mention that his excellence in recent years has left him far behind.
"Mother, my son is not as good as my third brother. No matter how long it takes for the throne to be passed down, it will never be my son's turn. Besides, my son is still young, so there's no rush."
Concubine Tong was having a headache. Her son was a bit stubborn. The position of crown prince should be given to her sooner rather than later. If she didn't fight for it now, she might not have another chance later.
However, as Yinzhen said, the changes in Yinzhi in recent years are visible to the naked eye, and she has to admit that among these princes, Yinzhi is the most capable.
Forget it, let’s wait and see. Yinzhen is indeed still young, and now is not the time to talk about this.
Just when she was thinking this, Yinzhi went to Kangxi to recommend himself.
Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Father, do you agree with what your son just said?"
Kangxi really wanted to open his son's brain to see what was inside. After just a quarter of an hour of debate, he was defeated completely.
I've known for a long time that Xiao San is smart, but I didn't expect that she is only nine years old now, but she has learned more than me.
If this continues for another two years, won't I feel the feeling of the Yangtze River's waves behind pushing the waves in front, and the waves in front dying on the beach?
"You have some truth in what you said, and you are capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of being the crown prince, but I cannot make you the crown prince now."
"Why? Is it because my son is not smart enough or is it because my father is not satisfied with his abilities?"
That’s not the case, it’s just that I’m too smart and that makes me look a little stupid!
"I plan to promote your mother and the others in a few days, and then raise the issue of appointing a crown prince.
You want to become the crown prince, and I agree, but I hope you can demonstrate your ability in the court and make the ministers submit to you.
Yinzhi, you are only ten years old now, are you sure you have the ability to debate with heroes?"
"Father Emperor, although my son is only ten years old, you can't judge a hero by his age. Didn't you experience this once just now?
What do you think are the chances of my son winning against those old bastards with his current abilities?"
Kangxi wanted to jump up and down. He just wanted to find a way to save face and strike a blow against his son who was too smart. Why did he get hit by him again?
"Father, you are not at a disadvantage if your son becomes the Crown Prince."
