Chapter 221: Keep your head held high
Yinsi handed the evidence to his own father, and then said, "Father, the children of Lord Yu who were saved by the Qi family's master are now Qi Shengyi and Qi Shengyan, who have also been taken to the clan house. Back then, he used his own children to replace... Lord Yu's children."
Yinzhen held Wenyao's hand. After hearing this, he and Wenyao exchanged a glance. Yinzhen looked at Yinsi and said, "Replace? Haha... It's so unlucky to be his child."
"Mrs. Qi's revenge is very good," Wen Yao took the time to check it out after she knew about this matter. After finding out about Mrs. Qi's revenge, Wen Yao felt relieved and continued to look for evidence quickly and write it down.
Kangxi took the evidence and looked at it carefully. When he heard what his eighth son said, "Using his own children to replace the children of Imperial Physician Yu, haha... is very loyal," his expression did not change, but the word "haha" was very poetic, as if he had said nothing but seemed to have said everything.
"That pair of children will be beheaded tomorrow," Kangxi raised his head with a cold look in his eyes. Even if Doctor Yu had other reasons, it was true that he was trying to murder his mother. His mother was dead, so how could he still want to have offspring?
It’s a beautiful thought!
"The three clans of the family that she married into will all be beheaded!" Kangxi looked at Yinsi, "Including the Qi family, especially the Qi family, no one will be spared!"
Yinsi thought for a moment and said, "Father, I think it's better to be lenient with the Qi family." Seeing his father's cold face, he hurriedly explained, "Father, I'm not trying to excuse the Qi family. It's like this. Madam Qi has taken revenge on the head of the Qi family over the years. She ordered him to be sterile in the early years. The same is true for Qi Shengyi and Qi Shengyan. Their children are not their own. Madam Qi even drugged all the friends of the head of the Qi family in the martial arts world."
"Your son wants to show the tolerance of our court, and the patriarch of the Qi family deserves to die the most, and he is getting his retribution now. Your son thought Madam Qi would not let him live too long, and the others did not know and were also innocent. The Qi family has a high status in the world and has a strong influence among the Han people. It is better to spare their family and show the tolerance of your father and win over the hearts of the Han people," Yinsi lowered his head and did not dare to look up. He was a little nervous. This was the first time he made clear what he was thinking and told it all in front of his father. He did not know whether his father would scold him or agree with him!
"Who taught you to lower your head and hunch your waist? As a prince, straighten your back and raise your head," Kangxi frowned as he looked at Yinsi who was standing in the center with his waist hunched and his head lowered. This was not taught by his royal father. This posture made people feel painful!
Yinsi quickly straightened his back and raised his head with a hint of excitement on his face. Did the Emperor agree with what he said?
[Sure enough, this child is still lacking in father's love. Another one is competing for his father's love! ] Wen Yao was listening quietly at the side. She didn't want to ruin the atmosphere and complain at this time, but she couldn't help it!
[I find it so disgusting to watch! Other ancient royal families were either fighting for power or yearning for freedom, but here, no matter what these princes do, they are all fighting for their fathers?! ]
【Are you talking nonsense? 】
Yinzhen looked at his own mynah bird carefully. It's true that the mynah bird had always wanted to be recognized by the Emperor. In fact, there was nothing wrong with the evaluation made by later generations. He held Wen Yao's hand all the time. Yinzhen shifted his focus from Yinsi to his own Wen Yao. The one who could make him completely let go was his Yaoyao!
As for the Emperor's favor, whoever wants it can take it. He doesn't want to be so cautious.
Yinsi was stunned. Fight for his father? Fight for the emperor? Why not fight for the emperor? Whether it is the position of the crown prince or power, the key is not how powerful you are, but whether you can get the emperor's approval!
Even if he doesn't fight for these things, if he wants to be recognized, doesn't he still have to get the approval of the Emperor?
Kangxi's expression did not change. Concubine Xiaojiu had already complained about this point before, and he was immune to it. But every time he heard this, Kangxi felt that his sons were a little... frustrated!
But more importantly, it is to reassure him and let him give up the power in his hands with peace of mind.
"You said it very well. If you have anything to say, speak it out boldly. You are now a prince, no worse than others." Kangxi looked at Yinsi. "As for the children of Imperial Physician Yu, they will be beheaded at noon tomorrow. You will personally supervise it. As for Madam Qi, no matter how they behave in the martial arts world, no one is allowed to cross the imperial power in the capital. This is my bottom line."
No matter how big the world is, it is still the territory of the imperial court. All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects.
"Yes, your son obeys your order." The smile on Yinsi's face was different from before. There seemed to be more confidence in the smile. The warmth in his voice remained, but it was a little louder.
Yin'er and Wen Yao watched Yinsi come and go, and then the two leaned against each other and chattered again. Wei Zhu glanced at them several times.
Kangxi was looking at the evidence over there. His own sons came and went, including the Prince of Zhi and the Crown Prince who had come and gone several times. But those two guys over there had been doing very peacefully the whole time, and they were commenting on others everywhere, and they were also saying that there were some inside stories in the investigation, and they wanted to comment on them!
Kangxi couldn't stand it any longer, and slammed the table, "Yin'er, you're sitting there quietly, watching your brothers busying around just because of a few words from you, don't you have anything you want to do?"
It was impossible for Kangxi to criticize Wen Yao for not helping. After all, she was just a concubine, and it was unacceptable for a concubine to get involved in such matters, so he could only scold Yinzhen.
Yinzhen stood up, looking calm, "Father, this matter was brought up by your son, so I must not get involved, otherwise how can I convince the public? If you can't bear to see your son idle, then your son and Yaoyao will go back to the prince's residence first."
[Yes, let’s go back first. Anyway, we can eat melons anywhere.] Wen Yao felt that she had to suppress her curiosity in the Qianqing Palace!
Kangxi almost suffocated, but fortunately he was in good health and had a special imperial physician to check his pulse every day. Kangxi decided to out of sight out of mind, but going back?
impossible!
Don't even think about it!
With Xiao Jiufujin as a know-it-all, it would be easier for him to judge the truth and omissions. Why not use this know-it-all? He doesn't need to prove his ability!
Yinzhen curled his lips, sat down decisively and continued chatting with Wen Yao, "Is there something about Concubine Wu Ya in this?"
[Not really. Actually, Concubine Uya just wanted to climb up like other concubines, and wanted the supreme position. Her status was not good, so she wanted to be the queen mother. Of course, the ambition of the Uya clan was indispensable. Concubine Uya came from Empress Xiaoyi and became a concubine. Fourth brother, Concubine Uya knew that it was impossible to be recorded under the name of Empress Xiaoyi, but she was not sure.]
"Just in case, you want to use Ukuma Ma to get rid of Empress Xiaoyi?" Yinzhen shook his head. "Impossible, how could Ukuma Ma be so stupid? This is impossible!"
