Either he succeeds in forcing the emperor to abdicate and ascends to the throne, or he fails and is beheaded. He is so old and does not have much patience to wait for the emperor's death.
In life, one must always think about oneself. His brothers are all outstanding people, and now they are all adults. If he does not take action soon, it is hard to say whether he can keep the position of crown prince.
As for what will happen to his wives, concubines and children after his failure, that is none of his business.
After all, he was the son raised by Kangxi himself. Even if Kangxi hated him for not being ambitious, he would not take action against his wives and concubines.
He might even treat his descendants well and grant them titles of kingship and nobility. Since his own descendants are protected, what else does he have to worry about?
"Father Emperor, you have been sitting in this position for so many years, I think you must be tired of it. The Empress Dowager is in good health now, and I think you can take her out of the palace for a tour.
I heard that Changchun Garden has a great view. Why don't you and Empress Dowager go there for a visit? What do you think of this decision?"
"Not very good. I don't intend to pass the throne to you. You are fickle and jealous of talented people. If the country falls into your hands, I'm afraid my ancestors would be so angry that they would crawl out of their graves."
"Oh, it's not up to you to agree or not, do you think any of them can come back to help you at this time?
Come, bring the abdication edict over for the retired emperor to review. If it is correct, have the retired emperor bring the imperial seal to stamp it.
Then, he sent the Grand Emperor and the Grand Emperor to Changchun Garden overnight and assigned people to take good care of them.
"yes."
As requested by the crown prince, the young eunuch delivered the abdication edict they had prepared early in the morning to Kangxi. Liang Jiugong looked at him as if he were a fool.
The crown prince is only the crown prince. Could it be that he doesn't know that the real power is Kangxi? He is so eager to cling to the crown prince now, but he won't cry when he is dragged away for execution.
"Your Majesty, please review this."
"Get out of here."
Kangxi looked at the prince with increasingly cold eyes. He had been given countless chances, and if he let him go easily, not only would Mu Sili be unhappy, but his other sons would also be unhappy.
"Father, are you waiting for your brothers to come and rescue you? Forgive me for being blunt, but they can't get in. I've already blocked the palace gates. Please don't hold on to any more unnecessary hopes.
If you cooperate honestly, I can give you honor and respect, and I am even willing to promote you brothers to higher positions.
But if you don't cooperate, I will take action. If I accidentally hurt you or the Empress Dowager, you can't blame me."
Seeing that Kangxi was unmoved, he knew that he had been plotted against.
But now Yinzhi and his brothers are still outside the palace, and he must get the imperial edict before they come back.
If it really doesn't work, don't blame him for committing patricide.
That position was too tempting, and you really can't blame him for being obsessed with it, because there was no way he would give this position to anyone else, especially Yinzhen.
Suddenly I felt a panic, but it was too late.
"Bring it here. I'll come myself."
The prince stepped forward and kicked the young eunuch away, then rushed to Kangxi's side, trying to search for the imperial seal.
"Come here, take the prince down."
"Father, I had Suo Etu surround the Palace of Heavenly Purity before I arrived. Please don't delay any longer."
A group of people suddenly rushed in, led by Yinzhi and Yinzhen, followed by Yin'er, Yin'e and others.
The prince subconsciously grabbed Mu Sili.
Whether it was Kangxi or his brothers, they all cared about the Empress Dowager. As long as the Empress Dowager was in his hands, they would not dare to act rashly.
"Evil son, let go of your mother. How could I have given birth to a son like you who dared to kill his father and usurp the throne?"
"Let go of the Empress."
"Second brother, are you going to die? It's ok to force the emperor to abdicate, but you even dare to kidnap the Empress Dowager. Don't you care about Hongxi and the others?"
"I just want to take that position ahead of time. What's wrong with that? As for Hongxi and the others, the Crown Princess will make the decision.
"Father Emperor, don't you love the Empress Dowager deeply? For the Empress Dowager, you have treated everyone in the palace as nothing. Now that the Empress Dowager is being held hostage by your son, will you really not issue an order?"
The prince still wanted to threaten Kangxi to pass the throne to him, but Mu Sili didn't want to play along with them. Today was her daughter's wedding day, and playing with the prince for a while was enough.
As if he could see what she was thinking, Yinzhen winked at Yinzhi, and the two of them worked together to capture the prince.
The prince did not resist anymore because he knew that any resistance would be futile, but he looked at Yinzhen with disdain in his eyes.
After all, I gave him the opportunity, and now that I have fallen, he is the one most likely to become the crown prince. I really can't accept this.
"Empress Dowager, are you okay?"
"It's okay. You guys came back so suddenly. What did Garudai say?"
"No, my sister-in-law and the others are with her. My sons will pick them up and take them back home later. Today is her wedding day, and she doesn't know what's going on in the palace."
"That's good, but why did you come here so quietly? Could it be that you also knew that the Crown Prince was going to abdicate?"
"Yeah, I guessed it a long time ago, but I never thought that my second brother would actually do it."
Yinzhen was very disappointed. His feelings for the prince were real. How could the prince do this? The throne would be his sooner or later. Why could he not wait?
"The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. I, your son, admit defeat."
Suo Etu was also brought over. The prince chuckled at his utter discomfiture, gazing at him and wondering if he didn't know what Suo Etu was up to. It was just a matter of mutual exploitation.
He had never thought of letting a woman from the Nahesheli clan enter the palace, because he knew that Soetu was also an ambitious man. Once a woman from the Hesheli clan entered the palace, he was afraid that he would also encounter the same situation as today, where he was forced to abdicate by his own son.
"I never thought that one day I would be forced to abdicate by my own son, a son I raised myself.
"Come here, draft an imperial decree. Crown Prince Yinreng... shall be temporarily demoted to a commoner, stripped of his title as Crown Prince, and imprisoned in the Imperial Clan House. All of his family members shall be relocated to a separate courtyard outside the capital and confined there, not to be released without summons."
"yes."
The prince accepted the result calmly, but Soetu was very nervous. He felt that his fate would not be as simple as imprisonment, and that Kangxi might really kill him.
As he expected, Kangxi directly blamed him for the prince's crooked growth.
"Suo Etu, I trusted you so much and supported your teaching of the Crown Prince, but look at what my Crown Prince has become after you taught him.
Regicide, forcing the emperor to abdicate and usurp the throne? After he successfully forced the emperor to abdicate, would he then add a brotherly murder?"
"I dare not."
"Don't dare? I don't think anyone is braver than you! Soetu's instigation of the prince to abdicate is a capital crime. He must be executed immediately and all his family members will be exiled to Ningguta.
Except for the mastermind, who was executed on the spot, all the others who participated in this forced abdication had their property confiscated and were exiled to Ningguta to do hard labor."
"yes."
