The prince was slightly distracted when he saw Kangxi's angry look. This was the first time he had seen Kangxi treat him like this in his life. It was really interesting. Just for an ornament that he had broken himself?
"Is Your Majesty angry? I broke it because I thought you didn't like it. If you like it, I'll find you another one.
But I didn't come to the Ganqing Palace today for this matter. I heard that you and the Empress Dowager are going to choose a wife for my fourth brother. Have you forgotten that I haven't married the Crown Princess yet?
Although I cannot have children, I can adopt one and raise him in my name. Isn't it enough as long as he is your grandson?"
"When did I ever say I would give you an adopted son? I see you've been increasingly disregarding the rules lately. If you don't want to be the crown prince, I'll depose you now."
The prince looked at Kangxi in confusion. When did he ever say that he didn't want to be the prince?
However, Kangxi did not give him a chance to explain and directly issued an order to depose him from the position of crown prince.
He no longer remembered how he walked out of the Qianqing Palace, but the first thing he did after returning to the Yuqing Palace was to kill the palace servants who served him.
"I'm not even the crown prince anymore, what else do I need you for? I will never allow you to serve others. You can only be my slaves!
Since I can't become the crown prince naturally, I will become a traitor who kills the king and the father. As long as I succeed, who dares to show me disdain? "
When Soetu learned that the crown prince had been deposed, he immediately went to the East Palace. An hour later, he left Yuqing Palace with a stiff expression.
The prince had just told him about the assassination of Kangxi. He was wondering what the chances were of success. If it was high, he would take Hesheli with him to do it. Unfortunately, the chances were too low and he couldn't afford the gamble.
The prince is a smart man and should be able to see that Kangxi is unhappy. But I don’t know whether he will do the same thing again. If the prince insists on taking action against Kangxi, then he will have to act according to the circumstances.
After figuring it out, Soetu left the palace directly. From beginning to end, he never took a step into the Qianqing Palace.
The fact that the crown prince was deposed did not cause much stir in the palace. After all, he had been given a sterilizing drug in his early years, so it was only a matter of time before he was deposed.
But now that he has been deposed, the position of crown prince has become vacant. Since it has become vacant, there must naturally be a suitable person to take over. Therefore, Yinzhen was pushed forward.
"My son is still young, and the Emperor is also young. Even if we really want to make him the Crown Prince, there is no need to rush. If the Emperor can hold on for two more years, my son can also have two years of ease.
Besides, my son hasn't married yet, no, he doesn't even have a wife. If you make him the crown prince now, will he marry a wife or a crown princess?"
Kangxi was stunned by what he said. He should have heard it correctly. Is this kid dissatisfied with the position of crown prince?
"Your Majesty, please don't say anything. If he doesn't want to do it now, then don't worry. You are still young, so you can stay for another two years. It will give him some experience so that he won't be overwhelmed by the blow."
"I was thinking of letting him take the throne so I can handle state affairs with him. I know I've been holding you back for all these years. If I could get rid of you sooner, I could also take you on a tour."
"So that's what the Emperor thinks. Since the Emperor is so thoughtful, then I have no objection. Xiao Si, why don't you thank the Emperor?"
Yinzhen felt aggrieved. He felt that now was not the best time for him to become the crown prince, but since both Kangxi and Mu Sili said so, he could only accept it helplessly.
Anyway, this position will fall on his head sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if he sits on it now. At most, the deposed prince will be jealous of him in secret.
He felt depressed when he thought about how their good relationship in childhood had suddenly faded. They could have been good brothers, so why did it come to this?
As soon as Yinzhen was appointed as the crown prince, the deposed crown prince locked himself in Yuqing Palace for three days, just like when he was made infertile by Concubine He. Unfortunately, there was no one to comfort him now.
"I was just deposed, and the Emperor couldn't wait to make the fourth son the crown prince. This shows that he doesn't take me, his son, seriously at all.
Since you don't take me seriously, don't blame me for planning ahead. This world must belong to me, and only to me."
A month later, the deposed crown prince led his men to surround the Qianqing Palace and engaged in battle with Kangxi.
"I really didn't expect you to have such ability. It must be difficult to bring them together. Is this location so fascinating to you?"
"Your Majesty, you are joking. What I care about is not the position of Crown Prince, but your attitude. Since you abandoned me first, you can't blame me for killing the king and my father.
I am the legitimate son of the Empress Yuan, and was named the Crown Prince at birth. If I do not become the emperor, it would be simply against the will of heaven. Don’t you agree?
Since Your Majesty chose me as the Crown Prince in the first place, you should know that I care about this position. If you want to give it to someone else, you must ask my opinion first.
Since you don't want me to succeed you, I can only plan for myself. Throughout history, there are more than one people who have killed kings and fathers. You won't be alone in the underworld.
Looking at my poor memory, I actually forgot about the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor are deeply in love, so she should not be reluctant to let the Emperor go on the journey alone, right?
Don't worry, after I ascend the throne, I will definitely find a good job for my fourth brother and the others. As for Wen Xian and the others, I will also send them to marry..."
Mu Sili went up and slapped the prince. If she wanted to send her daughter to marry, she should ask her mother whether she agreed!
"You dare to hit me?"
"I am the Queen, your legal mother in name only. Do you think I dare to hit you? Besides, you were raised by my side for a while, so it's perfectly legitimate for me to hit you!"
"You... I won't hold my anger against you. I will make sure you all know that the people in this world are called Aixinjueluo, not Aixinjueluo Yinzhen's Aixinjueluo! Go!"
As the deposed crown prince finished speaking, the door was pushed open, but it was not Soetu who came in, but the court ministers and imperial guards headed by Fuquan.
"You...why did you come in? Ha! I was too young and impatient, and I fell into your trap. Father Huang, when did you find out?"
"I started preparing for this when you were a child. I thought you wouldn't do such a thing, but I didn't expect you to do it anyway and capture him."
Looking at Mu Sili who was so close to him, the deposed prince collapsed. He felt that all his misfortunes came from her, so he stabbed her with his sword.
"Empress Mother, be careful!"
"Evil son!"
Kangxi kicked him into a corner, listened to his wailing, sighed, and then had him demoted to a commoner and sent to the clan house.
