"Since I have appointed you as the Crown Prince, I naturally believe that you have the ability. Don't underestimate yourself."
"Yes, I will not let down the Emperor's trust. I will serve the country well and work with my brothers to carry forward the Qing Dynasty."
Yinzhen became the crown prince in this way. Although Yinsi was dissatisfied, he did not dare to express his opinion. He only dared to make some small moves behind the scenes to express his dissatisfaction.
"Fourth brother, what's wrong with Eighth Brother? It's been over a month, and he's still constantly doing little things behind the scenes. If he's unhappy, just tell him directly. His little tricks are really annoying."
Everyone knew that Yinsi was doing something behind the scenes, but because of their brotherly love, no one exposed him.
But the longer this went on, the more dissatisfied they became with him. They were all adults, so why was he still doing tricks that only three-year-olds could play?
No wonder he is so famous, but the emperor chose the low-key fourth brother to be the crown prince. He deserves it that he can't become the crown prince.
"That's right. If he wasn't my older brother, I would have caught him and beaten him up a few times."
Yinzhen was very angry. This eighth brother had come to him before the fourth brother was made the crown prince. He said that he felt his status was noble and it was too unfair for him to follow behind the fourth and ninth brothers, so he wanted to help him.
Do you really think he is stupid? He is trying to alienate the relationship between me and my two brothers. He is so stupid.
I heard from my ninth brother that he had borrowed money from him, and out of brotherly love, his ninth brother lent him several thousand taels of silver, but he has not paid him back until now.
I don't know whether he thought it didn't matter if he paid it back slowly since they were all his brothers, or if he had no intention of paying it back at all. After all, those several thousand taels were just a drop in the bucket for Ninth Brother.
But the more annoying this person was, the more uncomfortable he felt.
"Nineth brother, has Eighth brother paid back the money he borrowed from you? If I remember correctly, he said he would pay it back in two months. It's been so long now, almost a year, why hasn't he made any move yet?"
Yin'er knew that he was dissatisfied with Yinsi's behavior. Although he thought they were all brothers and it didn't matter whether the several thousand taels of silver were returned or not, he felt uncomfortable because Yinsi was always so annoying and didn't let him return the silver.
So he slammed the table and stood up, preparing to leave the palace to go to Yinsi's house to collect the money he owed.
"Where are you going, Brother Jiu?"
"Debt collection."
"Debt? Who are you asking for it from? Could it be Brother Eight? Wait for my younger brother. I'll go with you. Fourth brother, tell the Empress Dowager that my younger brother and Ninth Brother have left the palace."
"Okay, tell Lao Jiu to be more steady and not give anyone a handle against him."
"Got it, don't worry, Fourth Brother."
Yinzhen looked at the direction they left with some concern, and sent someone to pass the message to Galudai.
Galudai now lives in the Ulanala Mansion. Because she is pregnant, she lives in the mansion with Lady Jueluo taking care of her, so both Kangxi and Mu Sili feel more at ease.
Wu Ge had already followed Yinzhi to the battlefield. As the top martial arts champion, it would be a pity if he did not go into battle and kill the enemy.
"Garudai, please try this soup. If it still tastes good to you, I'll ask the cook to make it for you again."
"Thank you, mother. This soup doesn't have any fishy smell anymore. I can drink it."
In the Ulanara Mansion, Galudai never acted like a princess, and her mother-in-law, Jueluo, liked her very much and had no objection to whether she and Wuge lived in the mansion or in the princess's mansion.
In her opinion, as long as they live in harmony, it doesn't matter where they live.
"Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent a message asking you to go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion. He said the Ninth and Tenth Princes are there to collect a debt. They're afraid it'll make a scene and make people laugh, so they want you to keep an eye on it."
Garudai's hand paused while she was drinking the soup. Was it really appropriate for her to go to the theater at this time?
"Mother, your daughter-in-law is going there."
"good."
When Galudai arrived at Yinsi's house, Yin'er and Yin'e had already come out.
"Why so fast?"
"Eighth sister, why are you here? Come on, let's go to my brother's house and have a seat. I happened to have prepared a lot of gifts for you, so you don't have to go all the way to Ulanara's house."
Galudai was taken to Yin'er's mansion. When he arrived, the mansion was empty, and when he left, three carriages were not able to load all the things.
Yinsi has become much more depressed since Yin'er and Yin? left. It turns out that they all knew what he did behind his back.
They even knew that he was secretly forming a clique for personal gain when the deposed crown prince was still in power. He claimed to be extremely smart, but it turned out to be all his own imagination.
If the two of them hadn't come to collect the debt today, I'm afraid I would still be living in the past, thinking about competing with Yinzhen for something.
Forget it, forget it. He was not worthy of that position. Just like Yin? said, he was just the son of a nobleman, and his status was 10% lower than theirs from the beginning.
Furthermore, he did not have the genuine support of the aristocratic families. How could he compare with Yinzhen, who was already the legitimate son, with only the support of those small officials?
"Master, are you okay? How could my ninth and tenth brothers say those things to you? I'll go find them right away."
"Don't go, Fu Jin, and don't mention those things from now on."
It was quite strange that Yinsi suddenly became quiet. After all, although his little actions were annoying, they also helped them to uncover many corrupt officials.
But it’s good that he doesn’t cause any trouble, so everyone can have a couple of days’ rest.
Five years later, Kangxi's health deteriorated, and he had to abdicate early. He wanted to spend the remaining days with Mu Sili alone.
"My health is getting worse and worse. Yinzhen, I will officially pass the throne to you. I do not ask you to become an emperor of all ages, but I hope you can work hard to govern the country and serve the people."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will become a wise ruler and will never let you down."
Yinzhen ascended the throne naturally. Since Kangxi was still alive, he honored Kangxi and Mu Sili as the Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Empress respectively.
Out of respect for Kangxi, he did not live in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, but chose the Hall of Mental Cultivation as his future residence.
He showed the utmost honesty to his brothers.
As the eldest son of the emperor, Yinzhi had made great military achievements, so he was granted the title of Prince Zhi.
Yinzhi participated in the compilation of the Siku Quanshu and made great contributions. It was natural for him to become Prince Cheng.
Yinqi was raised by the Empress Dowager since he was a child and was the eldest son of Concubine Yi. No matter what the reason, he deserved the title of prince, so Yinzhen named him Prince Heng.
As for the other brothers, they were all conferred the title of Prince. Originally, he wanted to confer the title of Prince on them all, but Kangxi stopped him.
If we confer the title of prince upon them all now, they will certainly not work diligently.
It would be better to give them the title of a prince first, and then confer them the title of a prince after they have made meritorious deeds. By then, they will definitely be grateful to Yinzhen.
Yinzhen thought this was reasonable, so he agreed with Kangxi's statement.
As for Galudai, she was originally a Princess of the First Rank, and Yinzhen also conferred the more honorable title of Princess of the First Rank on her.
Three months later, Kangxi passed away. Mu Sili was so heartbroken that she passed away after three years.
Yinzhen and others were extremely saddened and buried the two together in the imperial mausoleum according to Kangxi's will.
