Chapter 234 Everything is settled
At this moment, not to mention the people kneeling on the ground, even Yinreng's head was buzzing. To be honest, if someone told him that Kangxi would take advantage of this great opportunity to overturn the table and abolish his position again and crush him to death, he would have believed it, but he just couldn't believe what he saw.
Who was that? In a previous life, that was the emperor who had manipulated a dozen of his brothers into a frenzy for the throne. It was the emperor who had sacrificed the rest of his life for a position, causing him to be separated from his wife and children and to die in confinement. Such a power-hungry emperor actually spoke of abdicating. Was this the sun rising from the west, or was he hallucinating?
Facts have proved that things that didn't happen in the previous life may not necessarily not happen in this life. Yinreng was still a little slow to react. You know, the candidate for the Crown Princess has been changed, and the so-called destiny has appeared. The Qing Dynasty discovered the conspiracy of the foreigners earlier than in the previous life. Japan and Goryeo are now also one of the territories. What else will not happen?
Yinreng couldn't believe it, and the twelfth and fourteenth beile who were kneeling in front of Kangxi were even more incredulous. They had just developed ambitions and had just made achievements, and were thinking of returning to Beijing to expand their power. However, they received news on the way that the eighth brother had fallen, and then the second brother had become regent. They had just arrived in Beijing and hadn't even said a few words when the throne was taken by someone else. Not only that, it was announced by the emperor himself in front of everyone. What's the fun now?
The twelfth and fourteenth beiles below are now regretting their fate, hating themselves for being born at the wrong time. Why weren't they born a few years earlier? If they had been born a few years earlier, they would at least have had a chance to compete. But now, they have no chance at all.
Not only that, they also have to be grateful to their second brother who is above them, because the title of Beile they obtained was a reward from him, which makes them feel aggrieved and helpless.
Kangxi didn't care what the people kneeling on the ground thought. He was tired now and couldn't care less. If he had that kind of time and energy, he would rather take good care of his body and prolong his life. He was really afraid of those ancestors. They came to scold him from time to time when he was still alive. If he really died one day, would they just beat him up?
No one knew or cared about Kangxi's frustration, just as no one cared about the frustration of these princes. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trick was a paper tiger.
Because of Kangxi's decentralization and abdication, Yinreng no longer hid his strength. This also allowed everyone to recognize the former deposed prince and current regent for the first time.
They had already shown their muscles, and the gap in strength between the two sides was so huge that it would be impolite to think about competing again, so the preparations for Yinreng's coronation ceremony went quite smoothly.
Yinreng had already decided that before he ascended the throne, he would reconnect the Qianqing Palace and the Kunning Palace, especially the Kunning Palace, which had been uninhabited since the death of the Empress Dowager, and had now basically become a place for royal sacrifices.
This won't do. His harem is not like the emperor's, with so many people. There is really no need to go there. Besides, the family is used to living together, and he really doesn't want to be separated from his wife.
Prince Dun used to be in the Ministry of Works. As soon as Yinreng made the request, he took the initiative to take on this matter. He had just returned to Beijing and had nothing to be busy recently. His second brother was so good to him that he gave him the title of prince right away. Yinreng was so happy that he could do something for his second brother to the best of his ability.
Yinzhen was not idle either. Now he could finally work hard. When Japan was just conquered, every time the silver was transported back from Japan, the emperor always wanted to put some of it into his private treasury, so that very little could enter the national treasury.
Now that someone else was in charge, Yinzhen no longer had to worry about it. Furthermore, he could now freely use the silver to support factory construction. He knew his second brother had requested more military factories. He could see that his second brother, unlike the emperor, had far-reaching ambitions. If possible, doubling the territory of the Qing Dynasty wouldn't be impossible.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner. During this period, Yinreng found Yinzhi, and the two brothers had a long talk.
Yinreng: "Brother, now that the matter has been settled, do you have any plans for the future?"
Yinzhen looked across at Yinreng, thinking about recent events. After hesitating for a while, he still believed in his younger brother's character and said, "Second brother, apart from anything else, can you please not trap me in the capital? My dream since I was a child has been to fight and make great achievements, like my predecessor Huo Qubing, who was able to conquer the Wolf's Lair and contribute to the Qing Dynasty. You know me well, big brother. He is just a warrior. If I weren't in the royal family, the end of my life would be to die on the battlefield instead of being trapped in the capital."
Of course Yinreng understood Yinzhi's feelings at the moment. It had to be said that the royal children of their generation had a really frustrating life. Although they were royal nobles, few of them had ever left the capital, let alone been to the battlefield. If it weren't for the recent expedition to Japan and Goryeo, those brothers would never have had the opportunity to fight in a war in their lives.
Even in their previous life, the brothers were trapped in the capital for almost their entire lives, especially him and the eldest brother. After the crown prince was deposed, they were trapped in the mansion until they died.
After understanding the eldest brother's thoughts, Yinreng made a decision in his heart: "Brother, if this is your true idea, then I will help you. Our Qing Dynasty now has money and weapons. It is time to let the villains in other countries see the majesty of this lion.
If you don't want to stay in the capital, then go and train your troops. I can't guarantee anything else, but I can give you an army of 100,000. Your mission is to train them into an elite force that is capable of riding and fighting. When the time is right, we can completely recapture Xinjiang and the Baiyue, and even make a play for the great Mao in Mongolia."
Yinzhen looked at Yinreng in surprise: "Really? Do you believe me?"
Yinreng looked at Yinzhi, who looked skeptical, with amusement. He took out a tiger talisman from his sleeve and placed it in front of Yinzhi: "Alright, we are brothers, both Aisin-Gioro. If I don't trust you, who should I trust? This is the tiger talisman. Others may be fake, but this thing cannot be fake. Now I am handing this over to you. You must not let me down. I envy my father for having such a wise king like my uncle!"
Yinzhi no longer had any doubts. Instead, he took the tiger talisman and knelt directly before Yinreng: "Yinzhi will obey the order of the Regent and swear here that he will not let the Regent down."
Yinreng helped Yinzhi up and said, "Alright, alright. We are one family, there is no need to say these things. Big brother has been working hard on the Eastern Expedition during this period. I have already called the imperial physician, and he will come to your house to give you a thorough examination. Health is the capital of revolution, isn't it?
Also, you need to go back early to accompany your eldest sister-in-law. The man is fighting in the front, and your sister-in-law is working hard to maintain the inner house. In addition, my two nieces will be married soon, so I will give you a few days off so that you can focus on being with your family at home."
Knowing that this was Yinreng's kindness, Yinzhi did not refuse. He was indeed a little tired and missed home. He had been busy these days and had not really spent enough time with his family. Since it was a holiday today, he would not waste the time and go back to enjoy the happiness of family.
