Chapter 179 Kangxi Pingfei Hesheli 11
In the 31st year of Emperor Kangxi's reign (1692), there was another beauty contest.
Later, the favorite concubines and secret concubines were among them.
Since Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang passed away, Kangxi began to openly favor Han women.
In the days that followed, most of the concubines Kangxi visited were Han concubines.
It’s enough for Xueli to come once in a while and plunder once.
The queens no longer cared about favors, and as their sons grew up, they began to set their sights outside the palace.
Because the prince has always been lukewarm towards Soetu.
Soetu was angry but helpless, and he did use snow pears to provoke Yinreng.
As a result, Xueli and Yinreng seemed to have agreed that neither of them would respond.
Yinreng was so angry that he complained to Kangxi.
Kangxi felt that the prince had not grown up yet, but he also felt that his son was as close to him as ever.
In short, his emotions were very complicated, but that didn't stop him from beating Soetu.
Soetu immediately calmed down. It was true that the emperor was not anxious, but the eunuch was. So why was he so anxious?
He could only watch Mingzhu secretly entangle the court officials.
Soetu could only turn a blind eye.
Yinreng realized day by day that as long as he was not close to his uncle's family, Soetu would not dare to make trouble.
But Kangxi was very satisfied.
What Kangxi was dissatisfied with was Yinzhi who had entered the court. In the past, he thought that Yinzhi was reckless, but now he seemed to have great ambitions.
Because Yinreng refused to cooperate, Kangxi had no choice but to beat Yinzhi down.
Every time this happened, he felt much better.
There was no way around it. His sons had grown up and he was happy that they could share his worries.
What I dare not admit is that he is getting old!
Yinreng always kept in mind what Xueli said, and he also deeply understood that the Emperor was first the Emperor, and then the Father.
They were king and subject first, and then father and son.
Thinking of this, Yinreng felt a little uncomfortable, so he behaved well.
After all, it was true that Kangxi loved him, and it was also true that he was on guard against him at this moment.
Otherwise, why would I bother to lift up my elder brother and fight him.
He didn't accept the challenge, and his brother was too lazy to argue with him every day.
It’s interesting to say that since childhood, my eldest brother has always wanted to compete with him in everything from academics to martial arts.
Including giving birth to a grandson...
At this moment, the third and fourth princes have also entered the court.
Kangxi liked to see his children being friendly and respectful to each other, so the prince took his younger brothers with him to handle state affairs every day.
Kangxi was satisfied, but he couldn't help wondering if Soetu had taught the prince to have other thoughts?
It’s not as if Yinreng didn’t notice Kangxi’s inquiring look.
Whenever this happened, Yinreng would always think of Xue Li's words, "How many princes in history have had a good ending?"
Thinking of this, the prince made a note in his heart that he would never appoint a crown prince when he became emperor in the future.
He is so tired!
Apart from chatting with Soetu, the only person Yinreng could talk to was Xueli.
Moreover, Kangxi kept a close eye on him. In the past, he thought that this was because the emperor could not leave him, but now he felt a little depressed.
Xue Li spent her days leisurely playing mahjong with the concubines.
Yinreng passed on the news about the Imperial Household Department and that many officials had given gifts and so on.
Xueli suddenly felt that Yinreng lived too comfortable a life.
Those who live in comfort are unaware of the sufferings of the world.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with accepting gifts, but if the amount was large, it would be considered bribery.
How interesting it is to see a prince of a country accepting bribes.
One day, the two met by chance on the palace road.
Xue Li took the child to play in the Imperial Garden. Yinreng hugged Yinxi, teased him, and strode away.
When he returned to Yuqing Palace, there was a letter in his sleeve.
After reading it, Yinreng felt a little ashamed, so he read it again before burning it.
Therefore, the prince arranged for someone to set up a soap factory according to the recipe provided by Xue Li.
Now that you are rich, do you still care about money that comes from illegal sources?
At the same time, memorials were submitted, one was about the establishment of a soap factory, and the other was about the ambitions of the Imperial Household Department's baoyi.
Kangxi was first happy that his son was filial to him.
Afterwards, seeing the ambition of the Baoyi clan, his expression became stern, and he made arrangements with a frown.
Then Kangxi called his son over and had a sweet meal together.
Xueli stared at the father and son in a daze, and Kangxi only asked for 30% of the profit.
Yinreng's eyes twinkled and he smiled with admiration.
"Then the Emperor should either build a home for orphans or provide relief to the people during the annual drought!"
Kangxi had originally intended to test and probe the prince, and now seeing the prince's attitude, he felt proud.
His prince cares about the people of the world.
"Okay, go ahead and do it! I won't take advantage of you. If you want to do it, just do it!"
"Yes, Father!" Yinreng was very happy and he knew it.
The emperor would not be concerned about his little property and would even give him more.
The father and son were affectionate and confided in each other again.
It has to be said that Kangxi did have a unique preference for Yinreng.
He was spoiled by one hand, but he didn't want to admit the side effects, so he finally suppressed it with another hand.
At this moment, Yinreng's attitude towards Kangxi was three parts affection and seven parts false.
His experience is that if you perform well, you will get something to eat.
Five years passed like this. During this period, Concubine Niu Hulu died and was posthumously named Concubine Wenxi.
March of the 37th year of the Kangxi reign (1698).
The first time Kangxi canonized his adult princes, including his eldest son Yinzhi as Prince of Duolozhi, his third son Yinzhi as Prince of Duolocheng, and Yinzhen, Yinqi, Yinyou, and Yinsi as Duolo Beile.
The princes who were granted titles participated in state affairs and were assigned assistants, each with his own subordinates.
The enfeoffment of princes relatively weakened the power of the crown prince.
In the harem, Kangxi favored Han concubines such as Concubine Mi and Concubine Qin.
As several of his younger brothers from the previous dynasty entered the court, Yinreng tried hard to control his anxiety.
He was the son that Kangxi liked, but because he did not fight or compete, Kangxi was not satisfied.
I think he's a bit weak.
Yinreng also clearly understood from Kangxi's angry rebuke that there is no father and son in the royal family!
Being a prince is even more difficult.
He had done it, but the Emperor was afraid that he would be obsessed with his throne.
His performance was somewhat mediocre, and the Emperor scolded him for praising his younger brothers.
It has invisibly nurtured their ambitions.
He suddenly remembered what Xue Li said, and kept reminding himself to wait a little longer.
During this period, he and Xue Li funded the establishment of more and more orphanages.
The prince accidentally created an information network.
Thanks to the existence of the information network, the prince became much calmer.
No matter how capable his younger brothers were, he would tolerate them.
But if he had other thoughts, he didn't mind knocking.
Under the guidance of Kangxi's words and deeds, Yinreng changed a lot unconsciously.
He hated the way Kangxi's expression changed from loving to defensive, but unconsciously, he also became like that.
Of course, because of the earthquake in Fuguyuan and Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province in the 34th year of Kangxi (1695).
Yinreng took the lead in fundraising with his brothers and encouraged court officials and merchants to support Shanxi.
Overall, Kangxi was quite satisfied with the crown prince.
His position is stable now, and even if his younger brothers have other ideas, they dare not show up.
The Crown Princess is virtuous and the Crown Prince respects her very much.
Of course, this is also what Sydney mentioned.
