Chapter 288 Doting on a Concubine and Destroying a Wife in a Wife 36
In fact, what Lin Hui wanted was his reward in the future, but she couldn't say that. Instead, she had to be more humble and polite.
Lin Hui knew that the fourth prince was a small-minded person. "Those who love him want to live, those who hate want him to die." This is the fourth prince's attitude towards people.
At this time, you need to be more cautious to avoid annoying him in the future.
So Lin Hui said something hypocritically, to the effect that she was deeply grateful for Sifujin's support and help to her in the past years. Her friendship with Sifujin and her love for Honghui drove her to come. After this journey, it was natural to take care of Honghui without expecting anything in return.
Sure enough, after saying these words, the fourth prince's face became more relaxed than before, and he seemed to feel more satisfied.
The fourth prince is actually here on errands, to take over the supervision of Miyun County's next epidemic control measures and to deal with the aftermath.
By the time Honghui fully recovered, it was already seven or eight days later. At this time, the epidemic situation in Miyun County had also subsided. Lin Hui returned to Beijing with Honghui and the fourth prince.
After this incident, Lin Hui's relationship with the Fourth Prince's Mansion became even closer, especially Honghui. Unless necessary, he would call Lin Hui Mrs. Tong and always call her "aunt" in private.
The two people, Yue Xing'a and Honghui, had more frequent contacts. They had always been together, learning each other's writing and painting skills, and competing in riding and shooting skills. From then on, they got along like brothers with different surnames, and their relationship became deeper and deeper.
This was also the tacit approval of the Fourth Prince and his wife. On February [-] of the following year, Si Fujin gave birth to the Fourth Prince's fourth elder brother and her second son, Hong Zhan.
Another three years passed, and in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign, in August of this year, the emperor visited the outside of the Great Wall, followed by all the princes and grandsons, including Si Age and Honghui. Honghui also brought Yue Xing'a along with him.
On the way, the emperor's eighteenth son fell ill, and everyone showed concern and greetings. Only the prince showed no concern and continued to go his own way, which made the emperor unhappy. In addition, someone was spying on the emperor's camp at night. The emperor believed that the prince had ordered someone to do it, and he became furious. Summon the ministers and tell the prince the crime.
In September, after the Holy Emperor returned to Beijing, he announced to the world that the second prince would be abolished from his position as crown prince!
As soon as this was announced, the other adult princes were ready to make a move. After all, they were all the sons of the emperor. Who wouldn't want to sit in that seat?
In the past, the prince was blocking the way, and everyone had no choice but to lie dormant. But now that the prince has been deposed, it will be up to everyone based on their ability who can take over next!
Perhaps, because there were too many sons, it was difficult to choose, and the emperor felt embarrassed, so he issued an order to ask the ministers to recommend which prince was suitable to be established as the prince.
What everyone didn't expect was that the one who received the most recommendations was not the eldest prince with great military exploits, nor the third prince who was both civilized and military, nor the fourth prince who was well-behaved, but the eighth prince who had always been gentle, courteous and courteous!
This was both unexpected and expected.
The Eighth Prince has gained quite a reputation in recent years. He has always had a good reputation among the ministers in the court and among the princes of the clan. Many people felt that the Eighth Prince was worthy of a big job, so they recommended him.
Among them, there are three princes, nine, ten and fourteen, as well as Aling'a, Tong Guowei, Elundai, Kuixu and others.
Aling'a is the younger brother of Empress Xiao Zhaoren and the uncle of the tenth prince. He is married to the concubine of Empress De Fei and is also the uncle of the fourth prince.
Tong Guowei and Elundai are the heads of the two houses of the Tong family. In recent years, the Tong family has relied on the emperor's trust and favor to actively develop its power and network party members. However, it is known as the "Tong Banchao". In-laws and old friends are everywhere in the court. This force cannot be underestimated!
Kuixu is the second son of Lord Nalan Mingzhu. Lord Nalan served as prime minister in the cabinet for thirteen years in his early years. Although he was later dismissed as prime minister and was not reused, his disciples' old memories are still spread throughout the court.
These forces are not small on their own, but now they have united together to support the eighth prince and elect him as the crown prince. It is really surprising and shocking!
This cannot be accomplished overnight. The Eighth Prince did not know when he had gathered so many forces. What is he trying to do!
Sure enough, the emperor reprimanded those who supported the eighth prince, and also greatly belittled the eighth prince, peeling off his face and stomping on the ground.
Those who supported the eighth prince also learned their lessons. The eighth prince and several other princes took off their errands and thought about their mistakes behind closed doors. Aling'a and Kuixu were reprimanded, Tong Guowei and Elundai were dismissed from office, and the Tong family temporarily Silence fell.
During the turmoil over the establishment of the crown prince, the fourth prince once again made a clear decision. He actually supported the deposed prince Yinreng!
The fourth prince's reason is that the crown prince was only temporarily deceived and made a mistake, which is forgivable. The crown prince has been trained by the emperor's father for many years. He is good at governing the country and is worthy of big responsibilities. He is the best choice for the crown prince!
Listen, people are good at talking, and it almost speaks to the heart of the old father.
Yinfeng was established as the crown prince when he was two years old. Kangxi personally trained and educated him for many years. The care and love he gave to other princes were unmatched. Moreover, as an emperor, how could he admit that he could not teach children well and cultivate them well? What a bad heir!
Sure enough, four months after the crown prince was deposed, he came back to the throne. On the [-]nd day of the first month of the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, the crown prince Yinreng was restored to power.
In the past few months, those people were jumping up and down as if they were performing a monkey show. The emperor had enough of the show, and then dealt with them one by one, beating those who deserved to be beaten, killing those who deserved to be killed, and cleaning up.
However, no matter how much it was cleaned up, the palace would never be as peaceful and peaceful as before.
In fact, there was no real peace and tranquility in Jiraiya's court.
Ever since the prince was restored, he seemed to feel that his position was no longer stable. On the one hand, he was always trembling, fearing that he would be deposed again one day, but sometimes he became more wanton and crazy, with an air of despair.
The other princes also saw their own opportunities and worked hard to develop their own power, and there were constant disputes behind the scenes.
The fourth prince was one of the freshmen, standing firmly behind the emperor and the prince. He was independent of others and formed his own faction.
Lin Hui couldn't help but praise the fourth prince's vision and patience. She knew the history and could make a correct judgment. However, the fourth prince was the man in the game, but he could stay calm in the face of danger and make a choice that was beneficial to him. It is truly well deserved to be the final winner!
No matter how the situation changes in the court, life should continue as usual. However, with the decline of the Tong family, Lin Hui has to reduce the number of outings.
Apart from being summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother and going to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Lin Hui went most often to the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion to visit the Thirteenth Prince.
She initially got in touch with the Thirteenth Fujin because of her relationship with the Fourth Fujin, and gradually started to get involved. Even though the Thirteenth Prince was later ignored by the emperor, Lin Hui's attitude never changed, and she became more polite and considerate because of it.
The Thirteen Fujins were grateful for Lin Hui's kindness, and their relationship with him became closer.
