Chapter 230 Crown Princess Yinreng Shi 8
Yinreng has been outstanding in every aspect since he was young, and it can be said that both his literary talent and his military strategy satisfied Kangxi.
Kangxi also put a lot of effort into cultivating this son.
According to the "Records of Emperor Kangxi", Yinreng's "appearance, knowledge, and talents were all remarkable." He was proficient in Manchu, Chinese, and Mongolian, and "was superior to others in riding, shooting, speech, and literature."
When Yinreng was 14 years old, Kangxi began to discuss with his ministers, trying to select suitable ministers to assist the prince in governing the country.
However, Yinreng, who was outstanding in everything, forgot the difference between an emperor and an ordinary father.
In the 29th year of Kangxi's reign (1690), Kangxi personally led an expedition against Galdan. He ordered General Fuquan of Fuyuan and General Changning of Anbei to divide their troops into two groups, while he led the troops in the rear and commanded them.
The war did not go smoothly and the Qing army suffered successive defeats.
In his impatience and anger, Kangxi suddenly fell ill and had a high fever for several days. This made the ministers who accompanied him very worried, so they advised Kangxi to return to the capital to recuperate first.
Kangxi had no choice but to listen to the advice of his ministers and asked the crown prince and the third prince Yinzhi to come to the palace to take him back to Beijing.
But that meeting made Kangxi feel cold.
In Kangxi's heart, Yinreng has always been his most beloved child.
When Yinreng was ill, he, as an emperor, stayed by his side for more than ten days.
Now that he is seriously ill, he certainly hopes that Yinreng can reciprocate his concern.
Unfortunately, when the 17-year-old Yinreng saw his seriously ill father, he did not show the slightest worry or concern, which made Kangxi very upset, and he thought that Yinreng "had absolutely no loyalty or love for his emperor and father."
Looking at Yinreng who was still very calm in front of him, Kangxi became angry. What he wanted was his son's earnest concern, and wanted to see his anxiety, not to see him calmly commanding the panicked palace servants.
"The prince served the emperor without any sign of worry, which displeased the emperor and he sent the prince back first."
Kangxi didn't imagine that the prince would behave like this when facing his illness. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, so he simply drove Yinreng away.
Even many years later, when Kangxi thought of Yinreng, he would still remember the indifferent look of his son in front of his bedside.
You know, Kangxi lost both his parents when he was young, and he was always very filial to his grandmother, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, who raised him. In his heart, "benevolence and filial piety" is a very important yardstick to measure a person's character.
He posthumously conferred the title of "Empress Renxiao" on Empress Hesheli, and also named himself "Emperor Ren".
However, when Kangxi saw that the son he had raised did not inherit this important quality from him, he became angry and ordered the prince to be sent back to Beijing.
Kangxi probably forgot that he habitually gave his son the best of everything. He was like an ordinary father and gave all his love to Yinreng.
The more you give to a person, the more emotionally dependent you will be, and the more accustomed you will be to giving.
However, Yinreng, who grew up in love, rarely showed gratitude. He was used to Kangxi giving him everything.
Just because he did not do what Kangxi wanted, Kangxi lost his love for Yinreng.
Well, just because he wasn’t loved the way he wanted, he thought the prince was unfilial!
This incident became the fuse for Kangxi to depose the crown prince later.
Also in the 35th year of Kangxi's reign (1696), Kangxi once again led an expedition against Galdan. This time he still sent Yinreng to stay behind as regent, to perform sacrificial ceremonies on his behalf, and to handle memorials from various ministries and agencies at any time.
Although Kangxi was very disappointed with Yinreng before, he did not want to easily deny Yinreng, the successor he had been training for many years.
However, this time Yinreng disappointed Kangxi deeply again.
Four months later, Kangxi returned from the expedition and found that Yinreng was extremely careless in handling government affairs and many important and urgent matters had not yet been dealt with.
At the same time, news of the prince's absurd behavior was spreading everywhere.
A "prince's party" force centered around the prince had already formed around him, among which an important figure was Yinreng's uncle, Soetu.
Kangxi firmly believed that his prince was a good boy, but was led astray by the people around him!
Including Suo Etu and some servants! So they secretly executed Hua La and others who worked in the prince's kitchen.
These methods made Yinreng uneasy!
So in the 37th year of Kangxi's reign (1698), Kangxi conferred a title on his adult prince for the first time.
The purpose is to weaken the power of the prince.
As his younger brothers grew up and Kangxi's imperial power politics continued, Yinreng was in constant fear.
However, she was still worried because of Kangxi's hot and cold attitude.
Xue Li felt that he couldn't bear to do such a cruel thing.
So, let's look forward to the future, at least until her children grow up!
Yinreng stared at Xueli's back and fell into deep thought.
"Where is this unfilial?"
After a while, Yinreng suddenly spoke.
"Master, you are very filial, but you have to show it, especially at critical moments. Could it be that you think all the concubines in the palace love the emperor deeply?"
"I don't think so."
"Otherwise, with so many concubines, why would the emperor favor those few?"
Yinreng looked at her, not quite understanding what she was saying.
"It was they who made the Emperor feel that they loved him deeply."
Xue Li suddenly leaned over and spoke in a low voice.
Yinreng had a somewhat conflicted expression.
"I am the crown prince! Why should I act to gain favor..."
"Yes, I am the Crown Princess. I don't need to seek favor like Concubine Li, but don't you still think that Concubine Li loves you the most?"
Xue Li suddenly wanted to laugh.
Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, and routines can always be used to win people’s hearts.
Being calm and at ease either means being experienced or being confident.
To put it bluntly, a person may appear to be calm and have everything, but he is not sincere.
Otherwise, why do we say first love is special?
Because of love, there is fear; because of love, there is sorrow.
The royal family does not trust love, but they also value true love the most.
Only a very rich family can produce a pure love god of war!
Moreover, if the prince in history was really unfilial, how could he have been dependent on his royal father even for food and daily necessities?
Even in the 32nd year of Kangxi's reign, the crown prince was extremely worried about Kangxi's malaria. Because he did not believe in the effectiveness of quinine, he did not even dare to let Kangxi take the medicine until Soetu tried the medicine himself.
Unfortunately, Kangxi forgot.
No matter how good something is, he will remember it as long as it is not to his liking.
Children have long been accustomed to their parents' love and just take it as normal.
The prince was already accustomed to Kangxi's care and love, so he would not express his gratitude every day, but Kangxi, who had given so much, would not allow it.
I wish I could be remembered and mentioned all the time!
As Xue Li was thinking about it, she didn't notice the horror in Yinreng's eyes.
Yes, his good brothers were all respectful and submissive to him on the surface, but their methods behind the scenes were more outrageous than each other.
It's not like he hasn't seen the ways in which the emperor's concubines in the harem compete for his favor. They are all delicate and weak in front of the emperor, and they don't hide their arrogance in front of each other.
So, his women...
