Chapter 350 I will depose this rebellious son from his position as Crown Prince.
After reminding Yinti and the others, Yinzuo turned around without hesitation and walked towards the direction of the imperial tent. As the saying goes, what is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not destined to be yours cannot be forced. As a brother, Yinzuo believed that he had done what he should do. If his elder brother still insisted on forcing things, then he could only respect other people's fate.
"Liang Jiugong, didn't I tell you before that no one is allowed to come in without my order? I don't care who comes in, tell them to get out."
Well, just from the noise, you can tell that the old man was really angry this time. When Yinzhuo entered the imperial tent, the first thing that caught his eye was the mess in the room, and then Yinreng was kneeling with his head down in the mess.
“Father, what’s going on here today? Didn’t you send someone to fetch your son in the middle of the night? Why did you tell him to get out as soon as he arrived? And what did my second brother do to offend you this time? Why are you making him kneel here in the middle of the night? I’ve told you before that anger is bad for your health. It seems that what I said before was a waste of time. Father, I know you are very angry right now, but can we wait a while before we get angry? My foot is really hurting a lot. Do you think we should call a doctor to come and take a look at it?”
It must be said that the pampered body that Yinzhuo had developed over the years was really not durable. On the short journey from his camp to the imperial tent, his feet had been cut in many ways. In addition, when he entered the imperial tent, he was in a hurry and did not notice the porcelain shards under his feet and stepped on them. At this moment, it would not be an exaggeration to say that his feet were a bloody mess.
It's not hard to guess who this person is, daring to barge into the emperor's tent in the middle of the night without being stopped by the guards at the door. Although Kangxi's tone was very stern and ruthless just now, he didn't really intend to drive Yinzhu out.
Because he was sitting with his back to the entrance of the imperial tent, Kangxi did not see Yinzhuo's miserable state immediately. When he heard Yinzhuo complain of foot pain, he turned around and saw a trail of blood that had spread from the entrance of the imperial tent to his side. The old father was so frightened that he forgot he was still angry.
"You child, how could you run out barefoot like that? Liang Jiugong, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring Physician Wang here to me. Yinzhuo, don't move yet, let your father help you sit over there."
After a period of chaos, both of Yinzhuo's feet were wrapped up like dumplings by the imperial physician, who even took a moment to tie a pretty bow on the bandages. Finally, Yinti and the others no longer had to stand outside the imperial tent in the middle of the night as punishment.
If you were to ask Yinti, who had been granted permission to enter the imperial tent, what Yintang and the others were thinking at that moment, their answer would undoubtedly be two words—"Heh, it's better to be outside than inside. After all, they can tell the difference between kneeling and standing."
"Father, why did you summon us brothers here in the middle of the night? Is there something important you wish to tell us?"
Kangxi had been circling around Yinzhuo for a long time, and now he seemed to have calmed down a lot. Hearing Yinti's words, he looked up at him, pointed at Yinreng who had been kneeling on the ground with his head down and had not said a word since then, and threw a super-powerful bomb at Yinti.
"Is the Emperor going to depose this rebellious son from his position as Crown Prince?"
Good heavens! Kangxi's words not only caught Yinti and Yintang off guard, but even Yinzuo, who had already guessed, was completely taken aback. Yinti felt his head buzzing. He glanced at Yintang and Yinxi, who were also staring wide-eyed in shock, calmed himself down a bit, and looked up at Kangxi.
"Father, has the Crown Prince done something wrong? Deposing and establishing a new heir is a matter of great importance that shakes the foundation of the country. Please think it over carefully."
Yinzhuo had assumed that his elder brother, upon hearing the news of the impending deposition of the Crown Prince, would at least feel some excitement and schadenfreude, if not as gloating and opportunistic as the historical Yinti. However, to his surprise, besides shock, his brother's gaze towards Yinreng kneeling beside him seemed to hold a hint of pity. Wait, what happened to the open and covert struggles? What happened to the factional infighting? Why the pity? So all my worrying about you guys was for nothing?
"Father, elder brother is right. Since ancient times, a crown prince should not be deposed unless he is a great villain. Please think carefully before you act."
After Yinti, Yintang, and Yinwei made their statements, the only prince in the imperial tent who remained silent was Yinzuo. Why had Yinzuo been trying so hard to minimize his presence? It wasn't that he didn't want to give the concluding remarks, but everyone's attention was now focused on him, so even if Yinzuo wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb, he couldn't.
"Hey, why are you all looking at me like that? I'm just a spoiled brat, how would I know anything about such important national affairs? But Father, I think you really need to think this through before making a decision. After all, none of the deposed crown princes throughout history have had a good ending. Second Brother has been your crown prince for so many years, he must have worked hard even if he didn't achieve anything, right? It's easy for you to depose him, but what will happen after that? Have you thought about who to appoint as the heir apparent? Have you thought about how to settle Second Brother? If you haven't thought about it, should we put this matter aside for now?"
Yinzhuo's words immediately drew countless eye rolls. What did he mean by "should we put this matter aside for now"? Did he think this was child's play? Who was Kangxi? He was the emperor. His words were law, and there was no reason to swallow them back like this. Even if he wanted to retract his order now, there were still so many people watching and listening in the imperial tent today. Did he want to kill them all?
"Alright, Yinzhuo, your elder brother and I have important matters to discuss. You still have an injury on your foot. How about Liang Jiugong takes you down to rest first?"
Is it good or bad? Is this a question? But Dad, you didn't give me a choice! I haven't even answered you yet! How did I get lifted up like this?
"Eunuch Liang, wait a moment, Father. It's not that I can't go and rest, but before I leave, I want to ask you one more question: can my second brother come with me? I think you don't have anything to do with him anymore. It's a bit cruel for you to discuss deposing him from the position of Crown Prince right in front of him. Father, don't worry, even if I have to stand guard with both eyes, I'll make sure you keep an eye on him. So, can I take my second brother with me now?"
Upon hearing this, Kangxi glanced at Yinreng, who was kneeling on the ground in a disheveled state and remained silent, then looked at Yinzuo, who was looking at him expectantly. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly and wave his hand to indicate that Yinzuo could take Yinreng out.
"Thank you, Father. So, are you taking my second brother's son with you? Eunuch Liang, they can carry me here. You go over there and help my second brother up. Let's go now?"
