The Bewitching Master of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 181 Kangxi Pingfei Hesheli 13

Yinzhen was like the "Judge Bao" of the Qing Dynasty, upright and incorruptible, and he did not give face to anyone.

Even Soetu was reported by him, so that court officials kept their distance from him when they saw him.

Yinreng pretended not to see it and let Kangxi make the decision.

Kangxi:......

Kangxi was also a little speechless, but seeing that the evidence was conclusive, he punished him.

From then on, Yinzhen's eyes would glow green when he looked at the court officials. The key point was that he also compiled books, and he was bound to leave treasures that could be passed down to future generations.

As a result, the administrative problems that Kangxi was troubled with now, at least on the surface, looked much better.

After all, officials all want to leave their names in history, rather than be infamous for eternity.

After being scribbled on the notebook by Yinzhen, who knows how much face they still have?

Yinzhen admired Yinxun very much and helped him secretly a lot.

Yinxiang was a chivalrous man by nature, so he approached him enthusiastically.

What’s interesting is that Yinhuan and Yinzhen got along very well, had similar personalities, and both couldn’t tolerate any ingratitude in their eyes.

Yinxi was quiet when he was young, but became cunning when he grew up. He colluded with Lao Jiu to make money and go overseas to trade.

The two of them made a lot of money.

The difference is that Yinxi always remembered to take from the people and give back to the people, and was keen on building roads and bridges.

And his skilled craftsmen made cement.

It is well known how happy Kangxi was. Yinxi first built roads in the capital and later built flood control dams.

Because the treasury was abundant due to his two sons, Kangxi began to arrange for the construction of city walls in various places.

Because of this, Yinxi was granted the title of Prince Yi early on, surpassing his brothers.

As for Yinzhen, he was impartial and just, so he received mixed reviews in the court.

But Kangxi was very relieved, and the prince was even more relieved.

Kangxi gave him a unique gold medal and jade order, which gave him the power to execute first and report later.

He can also serve as an imperial envoy to go out of the capital and supervise officials in various places.

It was also because they only focused on their own fields that Kangxi loved them very much.

Of course, loving someone extends to their son.

Kangxi didn't mind because Soetu had complicated feelings towards Xueli.

They would "plunder" once a month, and then happily follow the concubines to compose operas and play mahjong.

Kangxi set his eyes on the prince.

He knew that many of the things Yinzhi reported were even completely false.

Yinreng is well-behaved, but he is old. Even if the prince appears to be well-behaved, is he really well-behaved?

Kangxi believed that the Crown Prince's behavior was "an attempt to divide my power so that he could act as he pleases."

Essentially, he is unwilling to accept his old age and is reluctant to give up his supreme power.

----

At night, Xue Li was still sleeping when she saw someone sitting in the dormitory.

If Xueli's soul hadn't seen that it was Yinreng, she would have pounced on him like a hungry wolf.

"Are you crazy? In the middle of the night?!" Xue Li looked resentful.

"Oh, aunt, I'm upset and have no one to tell!" came a desolate voice.

Xue Li's soul saw him crying secretly.

"I thought you would have taken action six years ago!" Xue Li rolled her eyes at him and yawned again.

If it were her, she would definitely do it. Wouldn't it be tiring to drag it on?

But Yinreng is not her. The prince was raised by Kangxi himself, so the feelings are naturally different.

He was lonely, too.

Yinreng was the crown prince, and the crown prince was the future emperor. Except for Yinreng, the other brothers could get along more or less freely with each other.

However, when they met Yinreng or interacted with Yinreng, they were much more reserved because Yinreng was the crown prince, the heir to the throne, and the future emperor.

There is a difference between the ruler and his subjects!

After they came of age, the other adult princes had little contact with Crown Prince Yinreng, and even if they did, it was only for official matters.

Another aspect is that because Yinreng is the future crown prince, he must be better than other princes in terms of civil and military affairs. Always trying to compare and not lag behind others is the main reason why his life is tiring.

As the prince grew up, the emperor grew old.

Some civil and military officials began to curry favor with Yinreng.

The most typical example is Kangxi's important minister Soetu. Soetu was the uncle of Yinreng's biological mother. He was Yinreng's great-uncle. He was a natural prince's party.

In their hearts, these people certainly hoped that Yinreng would ascend the throne as soon as possible so that they could make further progress in their official careers.

Even if he did nothing, he was the crown prince of a country and was naturally pursued.

As the power of the Prince's Party grew, this aroused the vigilance of Emperor Kangxi.

Although Emperor Kangxi doted on his only legitimate son Yinreng very much, what he was most concerned about was probably whether he could die of natural causes.

For an emperor, although death was a matter of sooner or later, Kangxi's greatest hope was to die naturally.

And the conflict between him and the crown prince seemed to be largely caused by himself.

Historically, Emperor Kangxi doted on Yinreng to an "excessive" degree.

Emperor Kangxi tacitly allowed Crown Prince Yinreng's ceremonial guards, crowns and clothes to be similar to those of the emperor, and on some important festivals, all civil and military officials were required to bow twice and kowtow six times to Yinreng.

Emperor Kangxi pretended not to see Yinreng's wanton whipping of the kings and ministers. He even felt that a monarch should be decisive in killing people.

On the other hand, while practicing the Han people's system of primogeniture and making Yinreng the crown prince at an early stage, Emperor Kangxi also followed the old system of the Manchu aristocracy and trained his sons by allowing adult princes to participate in politics and manage government affairs.

There is a particular contradiction between the two.

Both in history and now.

"Aunt, how could I possibly attack my father? He's my father..."

Yinreng was crying in the shadows.

"What are you going to do?" Xue Li looked troubled.

“I don’t know either, I don’t know…” Yinreng’s eyes were full of helplessness, and even at his age, his eyes were filled with confusion.

"As an emperor, if you are soft-hearted, you will never achieve anything!" Xue Li rolled her eyes at him.

"I understand. I understand everything!" Yinfu closed his eyes in pain.

"..." Understand that you still want to live or die? !

Xueli yawned continuously and lay down again.

Yinreng cried quietly in the shadows alone, and Xueli was helpless.

Only today did she realize that her eldest nephew is still a crybaby.

"Do you want to be emperor?"

"…Of course I do." Yinreng said hesitantly.

"Don't you expect me to take action?!" Xue Li suddenly thought too much.

"No, I'm just feeling upset."

"So what are your plans?" Xue Li couldn't hold on any longer, she wanted to sleep so much.

"Aunt, what do you think I should do?" Yinreng looked in her direction.

"Either kill the king or become a monk! Soon, your brothers will be unable to sit still!"

Xue Li ignored him and turned over and went to sleep.

Yinreng didn't know how long he sat there, and then he left.

Xue Li was half asleep and half awake, wondering if Yinreng had such great skills that he could enter her bedroom.

Fortunately, she is a snake with moral integrity and is dressed warmly.

Xueli suddenly sat up and bought a dream maker for Yinreng.
