Chapter 489 Born by a Bitch in Xinzheku
Chapter 489 Born by a Bitch in Xinzheku
The Fourth Master was lying in a bamboo lounge chair, and Lin Mingyan brought a bowl of five-red soup to his mouth.
The fourth master smiled helplessly: "These are things women drink..."
Lin Mingyan's eyes were sharp: "This is for replenishing blood. Don't men and women need blood?"
She forced the Fourth Master to drink the soup, and only then did she feel a little relieved.
After all, health is the capital of revolution. If you want to be a good emperor, health is still very important.
Fortunately, the Fourth Master's weakness was half pretended. After all, the more terminally ill he was, the more relieved the old man was.
The depression on his face was the shadow caused by her beating.
The Fourth Master was very pleased with this and praised her skill. He also thought of Concubine De: "Next time, you should teach the Empress a lesson. Don't put white powder on your face every time you are sad. It's too fake."
Ever since Emperor Kangxi changed the Fourth Master's biological mother to Queen Tong, Concubine De forced herself to smile for two days and then fell ill.
When she went in to visit her, her face was as white as a ghost, and she almost had a nightmare that night.
"Fortunately, the children moved to the prince's residence, otherwise they would not be able to sleep well at night," Lin Mingyan felt a little relieved.
Since the Fourth Master was no longer Concubine De's child, it was not possible for her sons to live in Yonghe Palace anymore.
But Queen Tong has been gone for a long time, so they have no place to live, right?
Emperor Kangxi waved his hand and directly let Honghui and others live in the prince's residence.
This is also the only grandchild who lives in the prince's residence.
Fourth Master: "It's not a good thing either. I hope it will end soon."
After living in the prince's residence for a few days, Honghui and others didn't know how many times they had suffered from the evildoers.
The situation with Honghui is okay. After all, Emperor Kangxi needs him and will definitely protect him with all his strength.
But the other children were not so lucky. Fortunately, his men were not pushovers and they finally stopped them.
Honghui was a smart man. Since he entered the prince's residence, he lived and ate with his younger brothers and protected them with his own strength.
There were many people who took advantage of the situation, and even the third brother couldn't hold back and stretched out his claws a little.
Lao Ba, on the other hand, remained calm and seemed to have accepted his fate.
However, the Fourth Master always has a skeptical attitude towards the Eighth Brother.
Because these brothers have eight hundred ideas in total, and he alone can account for seven hundred of them!
He told this to Lin Mingyan, and she raised her hands to show her agreement.
Maybe Brother Sieve is planning to do something bad right now.
.
The Eighth Master paced around the room, the ornament in his hand polished to a shine, but he felt very annoyed.
He originally wanted to be a wise king, so he controlled his temper and lowered his status to get along well with the court officials.
But now that the crown prince has been suddenly deposed, isn't his heart burning with anger?
Among all the brothers, without the crown prince, the other brothers are not much different in terms of background or ability.
He is confident that he is at the forefront.
As time goes by, the Emperor will naturally see his strengths.
But at this critical juncture, the emperor actually changed the fourth son's imperial certificate, making him the legitimate son.
In this case, what's the point of others fighting for it? !
Mr. Ba was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, desperate to find a way out.
On the other hand, Guo Luoluo said coldly, "Master, why are you so anxious? Even a legitimate son may not become the crown prince."
"I heard that the Emperor has been sounding out the officials in the court lately, hoping to get them to nominate the next crown prince."
"In other words, the first time the crown prince was chosen, his family background was considered, and the second time it was based on the will of the people."
Of course, the people's hearts cannot be those stupid common people, but naturally the pillars of the court - these ministers.
"Are you serious?!" Mr. Ba's eyes lit up and he raised his neck like a civet cat in the dark.
"Of course!" Guo Luoluo clenched her bony hands tightly.
Her family was well-informed, so they were able to know Emperor Kangxi's intention early on.
This is the couple's last chance.
If you succeed, you will become a superior person, and all the jokes in the first half of your life will become something you have to endure.
If you fail, at most you will be imprisoned, and you won't have to kowtow in front of others.
The Eighth Master's mind also became active.
If we compare the position in the emperor's heart, she may not be able to compare with her elder and second brothers, especially her second brother, who is the emperor's treasure.
The Emperor's heart was fickle, so even his precious child could not survive to the end and was eventually deposed.
But the hearts of the court officials yearn for peace and stability, and they will not change.
Some people say that the fourth brother has more power and ability than him, but in the hearts of court officials, they don’t want the fourth brother to become emperor at all.
Because what the court officials needed was a gentle and enlightened emperor, not an autocratic and demanding one.
If the emperor would really consider the wishes of his court officials, then he would be able to turn things around!
The Eighth Master started to get busy that night and began to build relationships with the ministers with whom he had a good relationship.
A few days later, during the grand court session, a minister reported that the position of crown prince had been vacant for a long time, which was not conducive to the stability of the Qing Dynasty.
Please ask Emperor Kangxi to appoint another crown prince.
Emperor Kangxi's face was not very good, but he asked the ministers in person if they had anyone to recommend.
Of course, everyone had different opinions. Starting from the Prince of Zhi, all the other princes were mentioned except the disabled Seventh Master.
Then after several days of debate, there were only three candidates left.
The first one is the Prince of Zhi. He has obvious advantages. He is the eldest son and has made great military achievements.
The second one is Prince Yong, who also has great advantages. After all, he is the only prince and the legitimate son. Most importantly, he has outstanding achievements.
The third one was unexpected, he was the Eighth Prince, he had no advantages, but everyone said he was good.
Emperor Kangxi sat at the top, looking down from above, watching the ministers arguing fiercely in the hall, and gave a sarcastic smile.
This group of people still dream of controlling the Qing Dynasty?
He said tactfully that since everyone had different opinions, they should vote and submit their petitions for whoever they supported.
Let’s have a final comparison to see who comes out on top.
The Fourth Master listened to his words and sneered in his heart.
It was clearly decided long ago, but now he is stirring up trouble in the court. I guess he wants to make an example of someone to scare the monkeys.
He turned around and discussed with the court officials who supported him and gave the Eighth Brother a big gift.
After the memorials were counted, it was discovered that the person with the highest number of votes was the Eighth Master, who came from the worst family background!
The Eighth Master stood in the main hall, listening to Emperor Kangxi read out the final result, his heart burning with excitement.
With so many ministers watching, the Crown Prince was chosen without any falsehood, the Emperor...
But then I heard: "The Eighth Prince Yinsi was born to a lowly woman from the Xinzheku, and his heart is vicious..."
"Your Majesty~~~" The Eighth Master immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.
As soon as these words were spoken, not to mention the crown prince, even his position as a beile was over.
