Chapter 238 Crown Princess Yinreng Shi 16
It’s just that everyone plays politics.
Who dares to offend the future emperor when the world is still uncertain? Or what will his colleagues think?
No one was willing to take the risk and stand up to give Emperor Kangxi a way out, so Kangxi had to announce that "my mind is made up."
He immediately offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, the Taimiao, and the state, and deposed the crown prince and placed him under house arrest.
The eldest son, Yinzhi, was active, but was rejected by Kangxi because of his character and behavior, and eventually lost the opportunity to become the crown prince.
The power of the eighth prince Yinsi increased greatly, but Kangxi also discovered his political ambitions and took measures to prevent them.
On November 1709 of the same year, Emperor Kangxi "democratically" elected a new crown prince, but then announced his intention to reinstate Yinreng as the crown prince. Finally, on January , the th year of Kangxi (), he issued an edict to prepare for the restoration ceremony, and on March , he restored the crown prince.
At the same time, he conferred titles on all the princes.
Although Kangxi reinstated the crown prince, the father and son seemed to have reconciled.
However, the blow of the first dethronement of the crown prince made Yinreng live in constant fear.
He was the crown prince until he was 34 years old, and it can be said that he was quite successful in this position.
In ancient China, quite a lot of princes were deposed in their 20s.
Looking at the Jin Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, when a person ascended to the throne, it was usually at the cost of disgrace and disgrace.
Because in the context of aristocratic politics, each prince has his own interest group behind him, and each interest group wants to express an opinion on the ownership of the crown prince.
It is not easy for a prince to defend his position, maintain a good balance with the emperor and his father, and guard against attacks from various interest groups.
During the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, if the emperor died late, the crown prince might not escape the fate of being deposed.
However, if the emperor died early, the prince would be young when he ascended the throne and would lose the old emperor's protection, and would often not be able to escape the usurpation of the throne by powerful royal family members.
Many princes were ousted after only one year on the throne and were charged with a host of horrific crimes.
This was the fate of being a crown prince during the Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties.
In order to maintain his image as a wise ruler, Kangxi was reluctant to part with his son whom he had loved for more than 30 years.
They charged him with a more sensational crime: "maniacal illness", which means mental illness.
Finally, they took advantage of the situation and said that Yinreng was possessed by a ghost.
From the perspective of the prince, he had nothing to say and could do nothing.
Because the right to speak lies with those in power.
It was not up to him to decide what horrific charges Kangxi would accuse him of.
He admitted all charges except regicide and treason.
Kangxi was relieved, so when he later posted the edict to depose the crown prince, which was shown to the people across the country, he also added the words "he is likely to be possessed by evil spirits and may easily become crazy and sick."
To put it bluntly, when the edict to depose the crown prince was officially issued to the whole country, Kangxi had already completed all the preliminary work for restoring the crown prince.
Those who understand the situation have been watching from the sidelines, or have been beaten down.
But the power was too tempting and the princes couldn't resist.
Yinreng was exhausted and his behavior became more and more dissolute.
Or maybe he had done a good job and had many followers, so Kangxi was afraid that he would shake his foundation.
If he doesn't do well, the whole court will criticize him. He has been abandoned once, so how could there not be a second time?
In other words, the more you fear, the more you do, the more problems you will encounter, and you will always be on the edge of a mental breakdown...
Although Kangxi had little affection for Yinsi, it was still a blow to the Eighth Prince, causing him to fall ill and stay in bed to recuperate.
What’s more, Yinreng, who had been pampered in his hands for many years, can be imagined how depressed he was.
Another two years passed like this!
In the 51st year of Kangxi's reign (1712), when Kangxi could no longer hold back and wanted to depose the crown prince again, Xue Li used a ten-centimeter-long soft gold needle to seal Yinreng's acupoints.
So, it only took Kangxi one day to go from anger to disbelief.
Kangxi couldn't wait to go to Yuqing Palace.
When I saw the prince's sleeping face, tears immediately streamed down my face.
"Investigate! Investigate for me!" Kangxi's eyes were full of murderous intent. He wanted to see who was so impatient that he attacked the prince?
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so he never thought of killing his own cubs!
Xue Li stood by with a plain face.
Kangxi had no other thoughts at the moment.
After waiting for several days, Yinreng fell into a long sleep.
At this moment, Kangxi could no longer remember the bad things that the prince had done.
Pulling Xueli to talk, what was the prince like when he was young? What did he like to eat and wear? What did he paint? How old was he when he started studying? What did he miss about him? What did he give him when he was on tour?
And so on, never tire of it!
Hongbing would hold a book by Yinreng's bedside and read to him every day.
Because Kangxi loved Hongbing, he also doted on his son Hongbing.
She was even more clingy to the prince than before.
Hongbing did not disappoint Kangxi's expectations.
Sometimes he would act like a spoiled brat, sometimes he would show off his talent in an arrogant manner, and sometimes he would hug the royal mafa in the dead of night and cry saying he missed his father...
I don’t know about others, but Kangxi valued Hongbing more.
Take it wherever you go.
Some princes did notice something, and some ministers also targeted Hongbing.
Severely reprimanded by Kangxi!
Hongbing is now 13 years old, as tall as a pine tree, and has outstanding talent and learning.
Kangxi thought highly of him and restored his decisiveness as he did in his youth.
All those who were operating in secret were cut off, and the court was also purged.
He is the Emperor Xuanren, but how dare you touch his son...
Kangxi didn't think of anything else and just increased the number of people to keep an eye on it.
The director of the Imperial Medical Bureau was stationed in Yuqing Palace, but he still couldn't figure out what happened to Yinreng.
Sydney was very satisfied.
She studies medicine every day, and it turns out that the results are pretty good?
So, how about trying it on yourself? What if the stimulation can make the practice faster? Or in other words, what if it can stimulate the potential of a certain acupuncture point?
She is not a human, but she is also a living being. She has what she should have. Just find it! So, do you want to give it a try?
Xueli decided to devote herself to worshiping Buddha and doing acupuncture in the future!
However, in life, next time, can she stab a man? The requirements are not high, seven times a night, seven nights a time?
“Pfft—hahahaha”
Sydney: Wow! So perverted!
A system: Did you know you were a pervert the first day?
Xueli: Follow the host, roar, roar~
A system: Ha! Is there a possibility that the host is following the system?
Xueli: Uh, so, I blame you for being naughty? You have to pay for it! Pay for my innocent, pure, pure and flawless past!
A certain system: Big demon, you are so shameless!
Sydney: I want to spend! Big spend!
A certain system: Welcome, please stay tuned!
Xueli: Oh, you don’t even have a face~
A certain system: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh beep beep beep beep—
Xue Li lazily turned off the microphone.
Because of Kangxi's guilt and suspicion, he directly divided himself and Yuqing Palace into one, the other princes into one, and the ministers into another.
Sydney continued to lie flat.
Not really, I still arrange people to go out to sea to trade and make a lot of money.
From now on, she can directly take out the things she had stored in the secret realm, and it can be said that she has a reason.
This time, Xue Li really lay flat.
