Kangxi was satisfied. Hadn't he done so much just to get Yinzhen to take the initiative? Since he had said he wanted to change the status quo, then as his father, of course he had to stand on his side.
Ultimately, he was still driven by selfish motives. After all, the prince was his son, whom he had raised since childhood. Their relationship was unmatched by anyone else, not even if Yinzhen was Empress Xiaoyi's biological son.
"I'm very pleased that you think this way. Since you've decided to stand up, I'll tell you the truth. The child in Niuhulu's belly is of great importance. It's because of him that I support you."
Yinzhen was shocked. It turned out that he relied on his son to get to the throne. He thought that the emperor let him fight for the position because he saw his ability.
"Why, are you surprised? Although you have great abilities, your mind is not on this. I was prepared to listen to Xiaoyi and let you live a leisurely life as an emperor.
If it weren't for the fact that Niohuru was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, and if this child had not been able to bring the Qing Dynasty to prosperity, I would have planned to choose a suitable person from among others to succeed me.
As for who to choose, it is not clear to me. After all, each of my sons is very outstanding, and it is difficult for me to choose. "
Yinzhen rolled his eyes speechlessly. It seemed that if he didn't have a son who was valued by the emperor, the throne would not have been his.
Since the emperor said so, what else can he say? It is good that the father is honored by the son. Others can't even have it if they want it. If he has any objection, he will probably be scolded.
"I didn't expect there was such a reason. Is Your Majesty so sure that the little prince in Nianhulu's belly can push the Qing Dynasty to the top? I think I can do it too.
You might as well think about it this way: it was your son who wanted to push the Qing Dynasty to the top, and that guy was just taking advantage. If you think this way, your son will feel better, don’t you think?
After all, the kid isn't even born yet, and as a father, I still have to maintain some dignity. It wouldn't be a good thing to hear that I relied on my son to get to the top."
Kangxi looked at him with disdain. Why hadn't he realized he was so eloquent before? He wanted his grandson to rely on him, but in his dream it was his grandson who pushed the Qing Dynasty to the peak.
This is a warning from God, and no matter what, he believes in God's vision.
"Alright, stop talking about those nonsense. I don't know what kind of personality you have. I'm afraid you're secretly happy in your heart. By the way, has Concubine De come to see you recently?"
Concubine De? Why did she come to him for no reason? She wanted to exercise her rights as his biological mother? Unfortunately, she was no longer his biological mother. His biological mother was Empress Xiaoyi.
"Does the Emperor know what she wants to do with him? He is now the Emperor's mother's son. If she wants to use her rights as a mother to threaten him, I'm afraid he won't agree."
"She dares, that's just what she said. If she really comes looking for you, you can be fine. I think she is becoming more and more unreliable. You don't need to care about her."
"I understand, Father Royal. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. Niuhulu can't leave her alone, so I have to go back and look after her."
Kangxi didn't say anything. After Yinzhen left, he looked at the evidence he submitted again. It was really great. Except for the fifth and seventh brothers, everyone else actually took action against the Prince's Mansion.
In their eyes, whether they were brothers or not was not important at all? If that was the case, why would he still care about the father-son relationship?
"Your Majesty, please don't be too angry. These twins are of great significance. It's normal for them to be worried. Isn't Princess Niuhulu fine? Why don't you call them over for questioning?"
Just like the prince said, they are all your sons. You would be sad if anything happened to any of them. The prince must have come to you hoping that you could give them a chance.
I'm not exaggerating, but all of your sons are great talents. It would be a shame to abandon any of them. It's better to give them a chance to reform themselves."
Liang Jiugong's words made Kangxi silent. He did intend to let them go, but it would be unfair to Yinzhen to let them go so easily.
When they attacked him, they didn't care about brotherhood at all, nor did they think about how sad he, as his father, would be after knowing the truth.
He had used them, but they themselves had evil intentions and could not control their ambitions. Who could he blame? If he let them go so easily, I'm afraid Yinzhen would be disappointed in him.
Since he handed the evidence to him, he hoped that he would come forward to resolve the matter. As his father, he should clear the obstacles for him.
"I will give them a chance to explain. Liang Jiugong, send someone to call those rebellious sons. I want to ask them if they have any brothers in their hearts."
"yes."
When everyone arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity and saw that Kangxi looked unhappy, they guessed that he might have known what they had done behind their backs.
"Why did the Emperor call all his sons here? Why isn't my fourth brother here? Could it be that the Emperor didn't call him here?"
"What are you talking about, big brother? We are all here. How could the Emperor not call Fourth Brother? I'm afraid something has delayed him."
Delay? He put it so nicely that people who didn't know would think that Lao Si was still his man.
Did he really think he didn't know that the princelings were among those who attacked Mu Sili this time? The second brother was too self-righteous. If he took the position, he would be the first to be liquidated.
Yinzhi lowered his eyes and decided that even if he could not sit in that position, he would not let the prince take the throne. They had been fighting for so many years, and he would definitely die after he took the throne.
The others just watched without saying anything. They were unsure in their hearts and no one could guess why the emperor asked them to come to the Palace of Purity.
"Shut up, everyone! I never thought my sons were so ambitious. Can anyone tell me what the fourth son did to you that made you wish he were dead?
Even the fact that his family finally had a pregnant princess was an eyesore to you, causing you to send people to assassinate her again and again?
I have always hoped that you could be friendly and respectful to each other, but I didn't expect that you would all be hypocritical. The fourth brother is your brother, how could you have the heart to do that to him?
The previous dynasty was full of fratricide, and I was very sensitive to this. I never thought that after years of carefulness, I still let you do it. I am guilty."
Kangxi's words dumbfounded everyone present. They had thought of many possible outcomes, but they had never thought that he would take the blame on himself. For a moment, they didn't know what to do.
"I will issue a self-criticism edict in a few days. It is because I did not teach you well that you did such a thing. I am guilty."
A self-criticism edict! How could this be possible? If the emperor really issued a self-criticism edict, then all of their sons would be considered wicked sons and would completely lose their inheritance rights.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your son pleads guilty. This matter has nothing to do with you. It was because your son was jealous of the Fourth Prince that he sent people to attack the people in his house. It has nothing to do with you."
