Chapter 661: Legend of Zhen Huan: Honghui 25
When Wei Zhu came in again after going out to arrange the people, he saw Emperor Kangxi writing an imperial edict. He then ordered him to take the imperial edict to Yonghe Palace, Yanxi Palace, Yiku Palace, and Zhongcui Palace.
Wei Zhu's heart was beating even more fast. This was going to kill all four concubines at once!
Ah, that's not right. The Concubine Wu who lives in Yonghe Palace is no longer a concubine.
After Wei Zhu finished reading the imperial edict in several palaces in turn, he knew what Emperor Kangxi's edict said.
The three concubines followed in the footsteps of Concubine De. They were all stripped of their titles and demoted one level in rank. The only one who was lucky enough was the mistress of a palace.
The only difference is that the former Defei is now Concubine Wu. Her rank was downgraded to Concubine Wu, and she was driven out of the Yonghe Palace where she had lived for decades.
The concubine in charge of Yonghe Palace now is Concubine Ji, who has always been suppressed by her.
Concubine Wu was driven to the remote Jingyang Palace, where she fought and quarreled in the palace which had not yet been cleaned up.
Liangpin was even more miserable. After she learned that she was deposed and moved to the cold palace, she learned in the cold palace that her son had committed a crime and was thrown into prison. Her already frail body could no longer withstand the shock and she died.
Emperor Kangxi was furious and didn't care about her affairs after her death. He ordered his servants to bury Concubine Wei hastily according to the specifications for a noble lady.
A few days later, all the princes also faced the final trial. Except for the Crown Prince and the Prince of Zhi who were imprisoned in the palace for ten years, the titles of the others were demoted by one level and they were confined to the palace and were not allowed to leave without being summoned.
Yinzhen, who was under house arrest for the third time, went completely crazy. He watched as the people he had worked so hard to win over turned away from him one by one, including Nian Shilan, and Nian Gengyao had been demoted to the border.
If Nian Gengyao achieves something in the frontier in the future, it is not impossible for him to come back. However, now the influence of the Nian family has already far away from the upper circle of the capital.
Now, if he wants to reach that position, he has no choice but to go to extremes.
Honghui knew what Yinzhen was thinking and asked the system to break one of Yinzhen's legs. If he had a father who was a traitor, he would not be able to reach that position.
The worst case is the Eighth Prince. His people were attracted by money, and their loyalty to the Eighth Prince is less than 50% (detected by the system).
Now he, like Yinzhen, wants to embark on the path of rebellion, but unfortunately the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince do not want to take this path.
They still have families, and it is impossible for them to embark on a path of no return for him. In the end, he contacted the Prince of Zhi.
The Fourteenth Master was enduring tremendous humiliation in his heart.
At that time, the Imperial Guards broke into the mansion and took the Fourteenth Master away. The Fourteenth Master, who had never been seen before, suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The Fourteenth Lady was originally very worried about the serious trouble their master had gotten into, but when she saw Yinzhen's bumpy face, she was so disgusted that she vomited.
Several concubines and servants also vomited because of nausea. Fortunately, the imperial guards were well-mannered and although they felt a little nauseous, they did not vomit in front of the Fourteenth Master.
Because their titles were downgraded, the plaques on their doors also had to be changed.
With this change, the people nearby all knew that several princes had been demoted.
The smart ones all felt that the weather in the capital was about to change! Everyone went home and told their family members not to go out unless it was important.
Honghui was also waiting at this time, waiting for the prince to have the intention of rebellion. He didn't want the prince to actually rebel, as long as he had the intention.
After all, the prince's talent is the best among the princes. He cannot have too many stains on him since he will be of use in the future.
The prince grew up under the surveillance of Emperor Kangxi since he was born. The people who served him could not stay with him for long. Even the confidants that Emperor Kangxi had painstakingly cultivated were specially left for him by Emperor Kangxi.
Now he is imprisoned in his own palace again, and all the people have been replaced. Uncle Ba's people can also find an opportunity to get close to the big stage.
By now his eighth uncle should have found an opportunity to contact him.
"Sain, watch the prince. If he participates in the rebellion, knock him out."
"it is good."
Honghui waited for more than a year for this rebellion. During this time, Emperor Kangxi had thoroughly investigated everything the princes had done, and his health was getting worse day by day.
At the same time, Honghui's health got better and better during this year. Yinzhen's ambitions became stronger and stronger after Honghui's health improved. Honghui looked at his father who wanted to make trouble and directly crippled his legs completely.
As for his own younger brother, he suppressed him several times with his own hands, but finally had no choice but to turn him into his own father and cut off all ties with him.
After that, Hongyao calmed down, but his mother looked at him with fear in her eyes.
After Honghui recovered, he appeared in the sight of Emperor Kangxi once and successfully caught the eye of Emperor Kangxi.
Emperor Kangxi brought Honghui and several of his grandchildren with him to teach them. Finally, he found that Honghui had more outstanding talents, so he allowed Honghui to enter the palace to accompany him from time to time. The servants in the Qianqing Palace all knew that Honghui could already help Emperor Kangxi revise memorials.
However, this news was only limited to the Qianqing Palace, and no one dared to spread it outside, otherwise Prince Honghui would be in danger.
One day, the effect of the body-building pills in Emperor Kangxi's body disappeared, and Emperor Kangxi suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma in front of civil and military officials during the morning court session.
Three days later, Emperor Kangxi asked the princes who were under house arrest to come out and talk to him. The first one to come out was the crown prince. The crown prince wanted to rebel, but when he saw his white-haired father lying weakly on the bed, his admiration for his father overcame his reason. The crown prince concentrated on serving his father and chatting with the emperor that day, and did not do anything out of the ordinary.
Emperor Kangxi looked at the prince with satisfaction and told him to stay in the palace with peace of mind as there were still many days to come.
The prince was startled by Emperor Kangxi's cryptic words. He was about to ask his father who he had in mind as the new emperor, but after hesitating for a while, he finally closed his eyes.
His Ama’s meaning was clear, no matter who ascended to that position, he would not be liquidated.
The new emperor will not target himself.
Because of this, the prince first excluded his younger brothers. After all, they were determined to fight him to the death. If any of them ascended to the throne, his fate would be miserable.
Could it be one of his nephews?
Soon, several princes took turns to serve Emperor Kangxi.
He saw the ambition in his eighth son's eyes and was extremely disappointed in him. Before their rebellion even began, he suppressed it with thundering means.
The Eighth Prince and the Prince of Zhi were deposed and became commoners.
Three years later, Emperor Kangxi felt that Honghui's power was inevitable, so he announced his intention to abdicate without any warning in front of all the civil and military officials during a morning court session.
There was an uproar in the court, and everyone was caught off guard by this incident.
