Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 114 4 Master's Backyard is involved in the daily life 39

Kangxi sat quietly in the study room of the Qianqing Palace. After sending Liang Jiugong away, he was the only one in the room.

He was sad because the crown prince was deposed, but given the current situation, he didn't even have time to be sad. He was thinking about who would be the next master of the Qing Dynasty.

On the table were the names of all the adult princes except the crown prince. Finally, Kangxi turned his attention to Yinzhen's name.

It is undeniable that whether it is Yinzhen's ability and attitude in doing things or his tolerance towards his brothers, he feels that Yinzhen is the best choice at the moment.

The night outside was dim, just like Kangxi's mood at the moment, so dim that he himself could not see clearly.

Yinreng's conspiracy against him was too great a blow to him.

The royal princes knew that the deposed crown prince was plotting a rebellion, but they did not know the details. Kangxi had dealt with most of the people who knew about it. As for the fact that Yinzhen was injured, he simply kept it secret. As for why Yinzhen knew about it, he naturally had his channels.

Because of the matter of the deposed crown prince, the capital seemed calm on the surface, but undercurrents were surging secretly.

At this moment, the eldest prince seemed to have lost his mind and followed the advice of an aide. He ran to Kangxi and said that he would kill the deposed Crown Prince Yinreng for him.

Kangxi had been too kind to Yinreng because of his rebellion, but he still felt chilled to hear his eldest son so cruelly saying he wanted to kill his younger brother. Kangxi endured the physical discomfort and stripped the eldest prince of his title, stripped him of his noble title, confined him to his mansion, and prohibited him from leaving without the emperor's order.

The eldest prince, who had been fighting with the deposed crown prince for half his life, was also deposed after the crown prince was deposed.

Not long after the eldest prince was under house arrest, at a grand court meeting, someone brought up the topic of appointing a crown prince. Kangxi then asked everyone to nominate a crown prince with a cold expression.

Then Kangxi received a large number of memorials about nominating the eighth prince Yinsi as the crown prince. Looking at those memorials, Kangxi's face was grim, but his heart was still calm.

His beloved prince had rebelled, so what else could he not understand? But being calm didn't mean he wasn't angry.

After the election was over and before Kangxi announced the results, many censors suddenly began to impeach the Eighth Prince. The evidence was very complete and it was not a false accusation.

Then, Kangxi scolded the Eighth Prince in front of all the court officials, saying all kinds of nasty things about him. After listening to Yinzhen's retelling, Le Shu had a certain idea of ​​Kangxi's sharp tongue.

The Eighth Prince was very powerful, but his downfall caught everyone off guard.

This made the court officials who nominated the Eighth Prince very embarrassed. They all said that the Eighth Prince was good and could be a candidate for the Crown Prince. However, when they checked, they found a pile of evidence of his guilt. Who should they blame?

Kangxi even suspected that Yinreng would rebel, and that the Eighth Prince might have been the one behind it, and he was the "beneficiary". As a result, the Eighth Prince's experience was even worse than in history, and he got the same "package" as the eldest prince.

After knowing the developments in the court, he openly ordered the destruction of the memorials of nomination, then called his trusted ministers to come and laid his cards on the table, stating that he wanted to make Prince Yong Yinzhen the crown prince.

It was just this choice that surprised everyone who came in and made them dislike him.

Prince Yong's reputation for being ruthless and cold-blooded was well-known. To his subjects, the emperor was too tough and they were relatively weak.

Seeing this, Kangxi suddenly said: "Why, do you have any objections to the crown prince I chose for you?"

Kangxi had punished a lot of people recently, and they were unwilling to make trouble. They thought that if one prince could be deposed, the second one could be deposed.

Several people said in unison.

"The servant dare not."

"I don't dare."

Thus, the candidate for the crown prince was decided.

In the mid-December of the 47th year of the Kangxi reign, the imperial edict to appoint a crown prince arrived.

After a series of ceremonies, Yinzhen officially became the crown prince, but due to time constraints, he did not move into the palace for the time being.

The imperial edict that named Le Shu as the prince's concubine followed.

After Kangxi arranged all this, his body could no longer bear it and he fell seriously ill.

Because I was so sick, I didn’t have a good time this New Year.

All necessary etiquette was handed over to Yinzhen. Now, the news of Kangxi's serious illness could no longer be concealed, but the crown prince had been decided. Even if those who had ulterior motives were not willing for Yinzhen to be the future emperor, the overall situation had been decided.

Unless you want to rebel.

Can you rebel?

The price is too heavy. The key is that the eldest prince, the deposed prince, the eighth prince, and several other people who have cronies behind them are under heavy guard. Any unusual movement would be fatal.

Yinzhen is just using tough tactics. Just be patient. There is no need to joke with the nine clans.

In March of the 48th year of the Kangxi reign, Yinzhen officially moved into Yuqing Palace.

Le Shu looked at the few narrow rooms and thought, it's no wonder that the deposed prince went crazy living in such a place. It's close to the Qianqing Palace and he is under surveillance every day, but he is still young and has no secrets at all.

You have to be careful when you speak next time.

Living in Yuqing Palace, not only Le Shu was not used to it, but Yinzhen was also not used to it.

Because it was inconvenient for news to spread since she lived in the palace, Le Shu's outside business was temporarily handed over to Gao Wuyong.

She finally had some free time, reading books, drinking tea and playing with her children every day.

Yinzhen was extremely busy. As Kangxi's health deteriorated, he began to teach Yinzhen how to be an emperor.

At this critical juncture, he naturally would not hide his shortcomings.

Then Kangxi discovered that Yinzhen seemed to have a natural talent for being an emperor. He was quick to see things, had a long-term vision, and was tough yet steady. If the crown prince had had this talent...

Never mind, Yinreng was deposed after all.

In September of the 48th year of Kangxi's reign, Kangxi's hands could no longer write normally. Although he was still conscious, it became increasingly difficult for him to attend court.

So, he made a decision.

He issued an edict, summoned all the court officials, and then abdicated in public.

This surprised everyone but was not too surprising. Kangxi's poor health had been a secret before, but everyone was aware of the situation and it was no longer a secret now.

Yinzhen's accession to the throne was hasty but grand, and the process was very smooth. When Kangxi was alive, even if he was sick, he was still a dragon hanging over everyone. He had great power and no one dared to cause trouble.

Just like in his previous life, Yinzhen did not live in the Qianqing Palace, but instead lived in the Yangxin Palace.

Kangxi moved all his concubines into Changchun Garden.

In October, the imperial edict came down to confer titles on the harem.

The first imperial edict was to appoint Concubine De as Empress Dowager. Because Kangxi was still alive, Concubine De, who was partial to her youngest son, could not do anything naughty and obediently followed him to live in Changchun Garden.

The second imperial edict was to enthrone Ulanara as the empress and live in Jingren Palace.

Then came the imperial edict that conferred upon Le Shu the title of noble concubine, with the title Zhen, and she lived in Yongshou Palace.

Zhen means treasure. Yinzhen felt that Le Shu was a treasure given by God.

Then there was Concubine Li and Concubine Qi, who lived in the Yanx Palace.

Song Gege was a concubine, but her title was changed to An, Concubine An, and she lived in Zhongcui Palace.

Geng Gege was rewarded with a title of concubine for her contribution in taking care of Hongshi. She was given the title of Shen and lived in Yonghe Palace, in front and back of Yanx Palace, which made it convenient for Hongshi to meet Concubine Qi.

The rest of the concubines and princesses, those who were selected from the imperial selection were all noble ladies, and those who were arranged by Concubine De were all maids. They had no titles and lived in the side halls of the six eastern palaces.

Only Le Shu lived in the West Six Palaces.

In Jingren Palace, the Queen was also very surprised when she looked at the distribution of the palace. She vaguely understood that Le Shu's favor seemed to be very different from that of Li in the past.

She was a little unsteady, and things seemed to be beyond her control.

Looking at her unique favor, the queen felt that she might need to do something.
