The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 224 The Concubine De concubine Yinxiang was assassinated (1)
"The fourth child went to Xian'an Palace?"

In the Yonghe Palace, Concubine De stared at the messenger below with a gloomy expression.The little eunuch who reported the letter naturally didn't dare to talk too much, and Yinzhen who was sitting on the side waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can step back, and keep your mouth shut." The little eunuch quickly retreated gratefully, leaving the mother and son behind. Discussion in the hall.Yinzhen frowned and asked: "Huang Ama just abolished the crown prince and now he asked the fourth brother to visit him two days ago. Er Niang, Huang Ama, what does this mean?" Concubine De's face was gloomy. Feng Fan said with a bit of resentment: "Who can guess what your Huang Ama is thinking accurately. The fourth child and the deposed prince have had a good relationship since childhood, and now it is not impossible to see him after begging for mercy. With their relationship, you Huang Ama probably won't refuse, and will only think of the love of the fourth brother in his heart." Hearing what Concubine De said, Yinzhen felt relieved, and smiled: "In this case, Er Niang doesn't have to be so angry. It is a foregone conclusion that the crown prince will be dethroned, and the fourth brother will not be able to recover even if his eyes and hands are clear. Besides, this matter... has nothing to do with us." They did not intervene in the matter of the crown prince's dethrone, even if The fourth child turned around and wanted to settle accounts for the prince, but he couldn't blame them.

Concubine De shook her head and said: "What do you know? Back then there were many members of the prince's party, and many of them were loyal to the prince. Now that the prince is abolished, these people..." Don't look at the prince's absurdity these years, he was indeed wise once again. time passed.At least 37 years before Kangxi, Prince Yinreng was definitely an outstanding prince.The changes that followed were unexpected.Yinzhen was startled, and only thought of this episode when Concubine De reminded her.After all, he is young, the prince has gradually become absurd when he started to get involved in these power disputes, and even he himself gradually forgot what Yinfeng looked like when he was young.A dark light flashed in Yinzhen's eyes, and he said: "The only ones who can get along with the prince are the third brother and the fourth brother. These days, it seems that most of the people who were originally attached to the prince turned to the mynah, and some of them got close to the third brother." Concubine De snorted and said, "What kind of loyal is what you can see on the surface? After all, Yinfeng has been the prince for more than 30 years, it is absolutely impossible to only see what you see on the surface." Yinzhen lowered his eyes and thought for a while He engraved: "Could it be that the fourth brother is..." Concubine De said: "If you talk about the understanding of Yinfeng, who can know better than him?"

"If that's the case, then the fourth brother is determined to fight for that position?" Yinzhen said thoughtfully.

Concubine De said bitterly: "Of course he wants to fight. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of his filial piety in front of Tong Jia." For Yinzhen, who was clearly her own son, she admitted that she hated Tong Jia the most. Being a mother is like a stranger to her. Whenever she thinks about it, Concubine De wished she had never given birth to this son, but she completely forgot how she coldly rejected Yinzhen when she lost her adoptive mother when she was young.Mentioning Yinzhen's identity made Yinzhen feel uncomfortable for a while.He is clearly a brother born to the same mother, but in name he is the son of Empress Xiaoyi who is superior to all brothers, the only legitimate son other than the abolished crown prince.This status alone is enough to make many pedantic ministers support him.

The mother and son were thinking about each other, and it took a while for Yinzhen to relax his eyebrows and smiled: "Er Niang, don't worry too much, we can't tolerate the fourth brother, and naturally there are others who can't tolerate him even more."

Concubine De's eyebrows twitched, she smiled slowly, looked at Yinzhen gently and said, "Er Niang's Fourteen has grown up. You are right, but we are not the ones who should be most anxious now. We just need to slowly Just figure it out." In the current situation, it is useless for them to be in a hurry, on the contrary, if Yinzhen's strength increases, it will be beneficial to them, at least it will not let Yinzhen dominate alone.Their Wu Ya family didn't have much foundation in the first place, and Yinzhen was much younger than the previous elder brothers. When he grew up, the power in the court and China had already been divided up by the older elder brothers.Therefore, Yinzhen still can only rely on the eight princes and wait for the opportunity.If Yinhu's influence is now deeply ingrained, it will not do him any good.Yinzhen nodded with a smile and said: "Emiang is still thoughtful. My son understands." Concubine De looked at Yinzhen dotingly and said: "Good boy, Erniang naturally wants to be more considerate for you. It should belong to my son. From now on, you still have to be filial in front of your Huang Ama, and let your Huang Ama know that you are his best son."

Yinzhen nodded, thought for a while and said, "Emiang, although we can't do anything to Brother Fourth right now, we might as well break his arm first."

Concubine De looked at him with some doubts. Although Concubine De was favored, she was still a member of the harem, and her sources of news from the outside were always limited.Yinzhen smiled proudly: "The old thirteen went to the south of the Yangtze River this time, and Brother Nine got mad. If it wasn't for the prince, I'm afraid Brother Nine would have to deal with him if he couldn't wait for him to return to Beijing. The fourth brother Su came from She regarded Qing Gao as noble, and didn't make friends with anyone in the court. Among the brothers, only the old thirteen was the closest to him. As long as the old thirteen has something... Didn't he break his arm?" Concubine De was overjoyed when she heard this, Competing with Fourteen and helping Yinzhen in everything, Yinxiang is very disliked.He hurriedly asked Yinzhen to explain the matter in detail. After listening to Yinzhen's words, Concubine De smiled and said: "Fourteen is right, so let your old nine stand out. Don't meddle in these things. It's Jiangnan who Keep an eye on it and see if we can put some of our own people there." Yinzhen nodded and said with a smile, "I would like to respect Erniang's teachings."

Ever since Yinzhen entered the palace to see the prince, many people secretly watched the movements of the Yongjun Palace cautiously.But the Yongjun Prince's Mansion seemed to be completely unaware of this, and it was as peaceful and peaceful as usual.Xu Zhen stayed in the mansion every day except for going to court to deal with his own affairs. Not to mention making friends with ministers and recruiting disciples like the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother, it was rare for him to even go out.Even if I go out occasionally, I will accompany Fujin to burn incense, or take Fujin and a pair of children out to play.Seeing the doubts and disappointments of the princes and ministers all over the capital, Fujin's edicts were envious and jealous.

In the evening of this day, the garden of the Prince's Mansion in Yongjun was full of harmony and harmony.As soon as Hong Yao came back from the palace with Jia Lan, Yinzhen caught him and randomly checked his homework.With a rare spirit, Hongyan sat in Daiyu's arms with narrowed eyes and crooked smiles, watching his brother being scratched by Ama's various tricky questions.Jia Lan stood aside and looked at the scene in front of him curiously. Although he had been with Hong Yao for several months, Jia Lan still couldn't believe that the life in the prince's mansion, which seemed unattainable to outsiders, was actually like this Simple and warm.It's completely different from Jia's family, Jia Lan thought to himself, and somewhat understood why Third Uncle Huan, who had always been eccentric, would be so loyal to Fujin and the prince.Yes, allegiance.Although Jia Lan is still young, he has already decided to be loyal to Prince Fujin like Uncle Huan, and of course Brother Hongyao and Hongyan Gege.Because they took him away from a place like Jia's house, so that his mother would not be wronged in Jia's house.
