The next day, the idea of establishing a crown prince indeed arose in the court, with the most supporters being the third prince Yinzhi and the eighth prince Yinsi.
There were also a few people who supported Yinzhi and Yinzhen, and these people were from the Mingzhu and Tong families.
Kangxi originally thought that there would be many people supporting Yinzhi and Yinzhen, but it turned out that there were more people supporting Yinzhi and Yinsi than supporting them.
He glared at Yinzhi and Yinzhen with some displeasure, saying they were so useless.
As the eldest prince of the emperor and the son of a royal concubine, it’s bad enough that he is not as good as Yinzhi. After all, his mother was a concubine, but he is not as good as the son of Yinsi, the noble lady. How hopeless!
Yinzhi and Yinzhen looked at each other speechlessly. What was the point of comparing them at this time? Wouldn't it be better for someone to go out and take the blame?
Jin Niang's family is not without the power to compete.
"It seems that all of you have your favorite candidates for the crown prince. This is a difficult situation, after all, there is only one crown prince."
Yinzhen shook himself, gave a wink to Yin'er and Yin'er, then stood up.
"I feel that only my second brother is worthy of the position of Crown Prince. He is a man of both civil and military talents. I, your Highness, would like to ask Your Majesty to forgive my previous actions and reinstate me as Crown Prince."
Kangxi was a little surprised. Did the fourth child finally get it? He actually guessed what he was thinking?
"Your son, Ye Yinzhi, glanced at Yinsi with disdain. He wants to compete with me? He doesn't know his own limitations.
Yinsi also saw Yinzhi's dissatisfaction. He was known as the virtuous king. Fu also felt that the second son was worthy of the position of crown prince. He also asked the emperor to issue an order. If a crown prince is to be appointed, please restore the second son as the crown prince.
Both Yinzhi and Yinzhen supported the restoration of the crown prince. After looking at each other, Mingzhu's faction and Tong Guowei's faction felt that it was right to follow them.
As a result, more and more voices appeared in the court requesting Kangxi to reinstate the crown prince.
It was hard to tell what Kangxi was thinking on the surface, but he was still happy in his heart, at least Yinzhen was wholeheartedly loyal to the prince.
Therefore, after repeated requests from ministers and princes, Kangxi finally agreed to reinstate the crown prince.
"Since all the ministers have requested this, I agree to reinstate the Crown Prince. Someone please draft the decree..."
The crown prince was reinstated in this way, and Yinzhi and Yinsi, who were initially supported by the court officials, became a laughing stock in an instant.
Fortunately, Kangxi did not delve into the matter further. He simply thought that their outstanding abilities made the ministers more optimistic about them, so he proposed that they be qualified for the position of crown prince.
In Yuqing Palace, the deposed crown prince was still planning to rebel, but news came from Qianqing Palace that Yinzhen proposed to reinstate him as crown prince.
For a moment, he actually felt ashamed of Yinzhen.
In the past, I was wary of him because he was the son of the Imperial Noble Consort, and I was always on guard against him. I never expected that he would stand up to help me at this time.
I wanted to eliminate my prejudice against Yinzhen, but then news came out that Mu Sili was pregnant.
The prince looked numbly at the princess's yard and was very angry. Why did Yinzhen's legitimate children come one after another, but it was difficult for him to have even one?
The imperial concubine was very proud. This was the daughter-in-law she had chosen personally, and she was really proud of herself.
Thinking that Yinzhen had ideas about that position, she felt even more proud. If her son had such ideas, she would definitely support him wholeheartedly.
Both Yinzhi and Yinsi thought that they would no longer have a chance after the crown prince was reinstated, but they did not expect that they would simultaneously discover some news that was unfavorable to the crown prince by the crown prince's party.
Only half a year later, the prince was impeached again.
Moreover, the news that the prince was fond of homosexuality spread among the people, and it inspired the minor officials who wanted to get close to the prince.
They found many handsome men to give to Soetu, who would then send them to the palace and hand them over to the prince.
This incident happened to be witnessed by Yinsi, and the next day the petition impeaching Soetu and the prince was sent to Kangxi's desk.
What followed was various evidence of the prince's party's crimes. Kangxi was furious, but he did not show it.
Because he was going to Mulan Paddock in a few days, he planned to deal with the prince's matter after he came back.
Who knew that Kangxi fell ill as soon as he arrived at Mulan Paddock. The prince, for some unknown reason, sent someone pretending to be a rebel to assassinate Kangxi.
Fortunately, Yinzhi and Yinzhen reacted in time and stopped the assassin.
But they didn't expect that the prince would do it himself. When no one was paying attention, he stabbed Kangxi's heart with a dagger.
Although Yinzhen reacted in time, Kangxi was still stabbed.
With a "pu" sound, it was the sound of the dagger entering the body. Kangxi was angry, sad, and even a little desperate.
He had no idea that the son he had raised would be so cruel. Not only did he send someone to assassinate him, but when that failed, he also assassinated him himself.
"Emperor Father!"
"emperor!"
"Come here, take the prince down. Where is the imperial physician? Where is he? Hurry and heal the emperor!"
Although the Imperial Noble Consort was a little panicked, she quickly calmed down. Her children, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren were here, and she had to protect them.
Kangxi has been stabbed. Judging from his grief-stricken expression, he is probably not far from death. Now he has to work hard to improve his favorability so that Yinzhen can take advantage of him.
Mu Sili looked at Kangxi, who was pretending to be dying, and curled her lips in disdain.
Yinzhen reacted in time and twisted the prince's hand. How could Kangxi really be stabbed to death?
Fortunately, Yinzhen also reacted and his face was filled with disbelief. He looked like he was badly hurt as he faced the prince who was captured by Yinzhi.
"Second brother, the Emperor is our father, how dare you assassinate him?
My younger brother has admired you the most since he was a child. He has always wanted to learn from you so that he can become a wise king who can share the worries of the king in the future.
But what did you do? So many unfavorable news about you came out of Yuqing Palace one after another, and your brother also treated it as a joke.
Half a year ago, I even went so far as to offend my brothers in order to recommend you to the Emperor as the Crown Prince.
Second brother, this is the last time I will call you Second Brother. This time, no matter how the Emperor punishes you, I will not beg for mercy.
However, the prince's face was full of madness. His mind was now full of killing. If he killed Kangxi, he could ascend to the throne smoothly.
Honghui appeared at the right time and stood in front of Kangxi.
“Uncle Crown Prince, your nephew will not allow you to harm Huang Mafa again.
Ama often tells his nephew how excellent you are and how good you are to him. In the past, the nephew believed him, but now, he doesn't believe it anymore.
Huang Mafa is such a good person, how could you bear to attack him?"
You deserve it for not having a legitimate son!!!
Honghui was really angry. Kangxi treated him very well, both in the palace and outside.
Although he was not summoned often, he would be rewarded with some interesting and beautiful items every now and then, which was a treatment that his other cousins did not have.
Yunshu and Chaoxi came to Kangxi's side, one on the left and one on the right, and kept shouting "Huang Mafa, Huang Mafa".
Kangxi's hurt heart finally eased a little.
