"You still blindly blame all the mistakes on others. Why don't I pass the throne to you? Do you really have no idea?"
However, the prince was a stubborn man. He felt that Kangxi deliberately did not pass the throne to him. That was the truth, and he could not change his mind.
The father and son argued in the Qianqing Palace for a long time, and it was only when Yinzhen came over that the peace between them was broken.
"Second brother is here too? Your son pays his respects to the Emperor."
"Why are you here? If I remember correctly, you are busy with matters related to leaving the palace at this time."
Kangxi's attitude towards Yinzhen was obviously much gentler, which made the prince, who already hated Yinzhen, go crazy.
"I know that the emperor only cares about my illegitimate son, my fourth brother. My emperor, I am your only legitimate son. Why are you so kind to a illegitimate son?
You always scold me, which puts me under a lot of pressure. If you had not refused to pass the throne to me, and these illegitimate sons had the ability to threaten me, would I have done those wrong things?
"Today, I beg Your Majesty to tell me the truth. Will you pass the throne to me or to Yinzhen? I will get the answer even if it costs me my life!"
Yinzhen frowned. He just came to ask about matters related to leaving the palace. Why was he forced to do so by the prince?
This prince isn't born in the Year of the Dog, so why would he just bite anyone he caught? Doesn't the Emperor care? If this gets out, the Aisin-Gioro family's reputation will be ruined.
"What nonsense are you talking about, second brother? The position of Crown Prince is originally yours, and I have never usurped it. Why do you have such thoughts?
If the Emperor really wanted to change the Crown Prince, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now? Do you know how much your words hurt the Emperor?
The Emperor is old and can't stand your making such a fuss. Besides, I came here to ask about the Emperor's departure from the palace. After all, the Emperor said that he would divide the house for his brothers, so I can't help but be concerned.
You know the situation of the Prince's Residence. Now there are many brothers. If we older brothers continue to live in the palace and occupy the position of the Prince's Residence, those younger brothers who have reached the age will have no place to live.
The rules in the palace are very strict. No matter how favored the concubines are, the princes have to move to the prince's residence when they reach the age of six. If the younger brothers do not move out, where should they live?
"Second brother, I never thought that you see me this way in your heart. I am also the son of the Emperor. Why can't the Emperor care about me? Do you think that you are the only son of the Emperor?"
Yinzhen's face looked very unhappy. Kangxi could see that he was really angry, but he didn't want to say anything. This was a matter between them as brothers, and it would not be good for him to interfere.
But the prince saw that he did not interrupt and thought that he supported Yinzhen's words, and thought that he, the prince, was deliberately making trouble, so he was furious and hit Yinzhen with a circle of swords, which happened to hit his right eye, and it turned blue and black in an instant.
If it weren't for the wrong timing, Kangxi really wanted to laugh out loud, because Yinzhen's face looked so funny no matter how he looked at it.
"How dare you! You really don't take me, your royal father, seriously at all, right? Is this what I've taught you all these years? I told you to be friendly and respectful to your brothers, not to beat up your younger brother!
Get the hell back to your Yuqing Palace. If you can't handle that matter well, I don't think you can keep the position of crown prince anymore. Go with your palace maids.
As the Crown Prince, you have no intention of working together with your brothers, but instead you spend all day thinking about competing with them for favors. Not only that, you also blame me for not passing the throne to you, without considering whether you are qualified to think about it now!"
Kangxi's words were indeed a bit harsh. Even Yinzhen ignored the pain in his eyes and looked at him in surprise.
"Your Majesty, you are truly partial. You didn't mention deposing me as the Crown Prince in all the things I said earlier. Now, I just hit him, and you want to depose me as the Crown Prince.
I have finally understood. Without my mother's protection, I deserve to be bullied. Any thought of resistance on my part would be disrespectful to you. I understand.
As for what you just said, I will not do it. You may not know that they have become my hope for survival. If it weren't for them, you would be waiting to collect my corpse!"
The prince said this angrily and left. He never thought about the harm this sentence would bring to Kangxi, and whether it would cause him to completely lose his position as prince.
He only knew that Kangxi favored Yinzhen and ignored him, the legitimate son. Since he did not value him, there was naturally no need for him to put him first.
"Father Emperor, is it because my son came at the wrong time? Why is my second brother so angry?"
"You still have the heart to care about him, Liang Jiugong, call the imperial physician. That evil boy is becoming increasingly difficult to discipline. He does things wrong and won't let anyone say anything, only blindly putting the blame on others. I can hardly imagine how I made him the crown prince in the first place."
Yinzhen muttered in his heart that he was the one who gave the position of crown prince to someone else, but now he regretted it. It seemed that the position of crown prince was a hot potato and he must not get involved.
"I think my second brother is just angry for a moment. After all, he is old, and someone is bullying him behind his back. I understand. His eyes are just a little painful. Can you ask the doctor to come over quickly?
Song is pregnant again, and Zhong Lingyuxiu is growing up. If they saw my son like this, I'm afraid it would scare them. I don't want to leave a bad impression on them."
"You do know how to consider other people's thoughts. If the Crown Prince could be half as sensible as you, I wouldn't be so upset. But I am also really disappointed in him."
Yinzhen did not ask in detail. It would be better for Kangxi to say such things himself. If he asked proactively, it would make him feel that he was uneasy and cautious.
"By the way, you're here to ask about leaving the palace now, but are you ready? I remember Song just got pregnant, right? Isn't it a bad time to leave the palace? How about waiting a while?"
"No, you know, my second brother has a lot of complaints about my son now. If my son still lives in the palace, the conflict between you and him will become deeper and deeper.
It is enough for my son to know that you love him. Don't worry, I will bring Zhong Lingyuxiu to the palace to see you as soon as I have time. Don't be dissatisfied with the sisters' noise when the time comes."
Having said that, Kangxi couldn't force Yinzhen to stay, but he always felt that he owed him, so he decided to use his own private treasury to subsidize him.
Although he has a mother, this mother is worse than not having her. She will not subsidize him if he leaves the palace and builds a mansion. In this case, he, as her father, can only subsidize him.
