Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Between him and Umalu, nothing seemed to have changed, but everything seemed to have changed.

He no longer cared about Umalu, nor would he ask Wei Zhu to find out about Umalu.

It seems that Umalu just became a concubine, the most common concubine in his harem.

He and her are at odds with each other.

In 1708 AD, the 47rd year of Kangxi.

In the first month of the first month, Kangxi ordered the establishment of Luocha Guoxue, which was subordinate to the cabinet, recruited students from the Eight Banners, and trained Luocha Mandarin translators.

In February, Kangxi visited Jidian, bringing Zhijun Wang Yinti, Prince Yinfeng, thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, fifteenth elder brother Yinyu, sixteenth elder brother Yinlu, seventeenth elder brother Yinli, and eighteenth elder brother Yinli. Brother Yinzhu went with him.

Yinreng had close contacts with his ministers.

In May, Kangxi toured outside the Great Wall, and the accompanying princes had one more fourth elder brother, Yinzhen, than in February.

After Yinzhen accompanied him, Yinreng was quite relieved, and he invited Yinzhen to drink tea together.

Yinrong patted his shoulder and said: "You finally came out, every time you come out with them, you can't chat with them, you better understand me."

Yinzhen smiled and shook his head: "Where is Thirteenth Brother?"

"He is a child, what does he know?"

Yinzhen couldn't stop laughing.

Yinfeng invited him: "When you return to Beijing, come to my palace, we two have a good drink."

He said with disgust: "Beyond the Great Wall, it's full of tasteless things."

Yinzhen said, "Okay."

Yinzhen thought for a while, and persuaded: "I heard that the emperor dislikes you making friends with ministers in private. You should keep it."

Yinfeng said displeasedly, "What are you talking about?"

After drinking two glasses of wine, Yinfeng sighed and said: "The emperor's father dislikes me so much. Now that I think about it, I can only make more friends with ministers. In the future, no matter what the emperor's father thinks. With these ministers as my backing, the emperor's father Only then will you cast a mouse-snatching weapon."

Yinfeng smiled wryly: "Fourth brother, you are not me, you don't know how difficult it is for me to sit in this position."

Yinzhen thought about it, and said cautiously: "Prince, you are not afraid to arouse the suspicion of the emperor about melon fields and plums. It was nothing but something happened."

Yinfeng sighed and said, "Fourth brother, I have no choice. This is... not a solution."

He has come to the end of his life, that's all he can do.

Yinzhen also had nothing to say.

At least he has no way out.

He planned to go back and ask his mother-in-law.

He kept this matter in mind for the time being.

Since Yinreng knew that Kangxi didn't like him, how could others not see it.

Zhijun Wang Yinti has long been displeased that Yinreng has occupied the position of prince for a long time because of his title of son.It's just that Kangxi liked Yinreng in the past, so he endured it.

But he finally waited until the day when Kangxi detested the prince, how could he let it go.

He met Kangxi.

In the camp, he swears about Yinfeng's evil deeds.

He said that the prince Yinreng was violent and heartless, and beat the kings, Baylor, ministers, and even soldiers without being tortured by him.

He said that Prince Yinreng withheld Mongolian tributes and indulged his nanny's husband, Ling Pu, Minister of Internal Affairs, to blackmail his subordinates.

He said that Prince Yinreng regarded himself as superior to others, and he had a lot of contempt for others, and seldom had the respect of brothers and friends.

He also mentioned a certain year: "That year the emperor's father was seriously ill. He and his third younger brother went to visit the emperor's father. He heard that the prince seldom looked sad. It can be seen that he is not a sentimental person."

As he spoke, he burst into tears: "Now that the emperor's father is here, he can still maintain the appearance of the prince. But he is so ungrateful to the emperor's father. If one day, the emperor's father dies, how will he treat us brothers? ... My son dare not think about it!"

Kangxi was silent when he heard Yinti's words.

Yinti observed Kangxi's expression, and then talked about the past. He had seen the prince offside many times, and made many decisions in private without asking Kangxi.Even in order to make friends with officials, he even promised them an official position in private.

Kangxi said calmly: "I know that he wants to share my authority and do things arbitrarily. I also know what your plan is."

"Go down."

Yinti covered his face with his sleeve and went down.

After getting out of the tent, Yinti let out a breath.

His imperial father has never been a fool, and he did not expect him to hide the truth from his imperial father or persuade him.

He just wanted to add another crack to the relationship between the emperor's father and the prince.

There are many cracks.

Relationships will always break down.

That's when he was in charge.

Just like Er Niang said, although the crown prince is the first son, he is the head.

It is said that when the emperor establishes the eldest son, the imperial father only has the crown prince as the eldest son, and if the crown prince is deposed, it will be his eldest son's turn...

Are you in position?

He smiled into the blinding sunlight.

Prince, prince, even if you, as a prince, enjoy what I don’t have, the winner is the one who can stand at the end.

You are doomed.

His eyes only fell on the prince.

For him, his only enemy is the prince.

He left briskly.

He will wait until the day the crown prince is deposed.

Although Kangxi was quite unhappy because of this, the more he saw Yinreng, the more angry he became.

But he still had a sliver of reason, and he didn't treat Yinreng very well, but when he looked at Yinreng, his expression became more and more difficult to distinguish.

Everyone sees it in their eyes and remembers it in their hearts.

At this time, it seemed like the eve of the war, and it seemed like a close call, only a silk thread was used to hold them together.At some point, that silk thread will be completely broken.

Even the air in the camp seemed to be heavy.

Fortunately, I went back without wind or waves.

Nothing happened.

After Yinzhen returned to the palace, he visited Umalu and asked Umalu to disperse the palace people before telling his confusion.

Umalu said calmly: "This situation can be solved but there is no solution."

Yinzhen doesn't know why.

Umalu explained in detail: "All you need is for the crown prince to plead guilty, to pray for the queen mother and the emperor, and then confine himself to the East Palace. Not only will the emperor not suspect him, but he will feel more guilty about him, and he will not be able to change the matter of abolishing the reserve. "

Umalu continued: "There is no solution, based on my understanding of the prince, he will never agree."

Yinzhen smiled wryly and said: "That's true, the prince is arrogant, I'm afraid he would rather die than die."

"That's impossible."

Yinzhen asked: "Is there no other way for Er Niang?"

"Yes." She said calmly, "But nothing compares to this method."

"This matter is nothing more than advancing or retreating. With the prince's disposition and ability, he has absolutely no ability to force the palace. Then he can only retreat." Umalu commented in a tone of staying out of the matter, "The prince is weak and has no ruthlessness. Therefore, it will not work .”

Yinzhen got up, made sure that all the palace people were far away, and then asked: "Then if it's Er Niang, what would you do?"

"Are you asking for the prince, or asking yourself?"

"For the prince." Yinzhen said earnestly.

"You are thirty this year." Umalu turned the beads in his hand and looked at him with a smile, as if he could see his real appearance.

Yinzhen's palms were sweating, he didn't dare to look at his mother-in-law.

He has a guilty conscience.

If the prince can sit firmly in the position of prince, he will naturally not have second thoughts.

but now……

In short, he has a guilty conscience.

Fortunately, his mother-in-law didn't pursue and beat him fiercely.

Umalu said: "Since you are asking for the prince, then Er Nianggu will tell you about the emperor's mind."

"The fault of the prince is that although he is a prince, he has never learned the emperor's mind." Umalu said, "so the prince must be deposed."

Yinzhen listened patiently. He didn't ask his mother-in-law, who lived in the harem for a long time, why she knew the emperor's mind.

Umalu seemed to see his question at a glance, and she said: "There is no essential difference between the courtiers fighting and the harem fighting. The important thing is never how many followers you have, but how much the emperor believes in you."

"The emperor loves you, you love power, and you are striving to make progress. It is benevolence for you to make friends, otherwise, it is wolfish ambition and bad intentions."

Yinzhen remained silent.

The beads in Umalu's hand still didn't stop turning, she said calmly: "Trust is the strongest thing in the world, and it is also the most frivolous thing. It is so strong that even if everyone speaks gold, as long as he believes in you, he will never something."

"So frivolous, as long as he doesn't believe it. Whether you did it or not, it doesn't matter anymore."

"In the end, it's just a way of using people." She said in a tone that was so indifferent that it was almost weird, "Even if your emperor father is the supreme lord, he is just a person."

Umalu said calmly: "As long as you know how to control people's hearts. No matter how difficult things are, they are also easy."

Train people like dogs.

Everything in this world can be trained.

She knew everything about the origin, but she didn't want to do that.

In fact, Kangxi said that they are confidantes, another self in the world, and he is not wrong.

She also knows the emperor's way that Kangxi knew.

She and Kangxi stood together, only because their pursuits were different, and then they ran in opposite directions.

Kangxi entered the world of mortals to seek the secular world, and he cared about all the worldly things.

She was outside the world of mortals, and she entered the world of mortals only to temper her Taoism.

They are two sides of the same coin.

They are the most similar, the most compatible, and the most distant.

Yinzhen's back felt chills when he heard it.

Everyone in the world is speculating on Shangyi in order to seek honor and favor, but his mother is already using Shangyi.

But he would never tell his imperial father, because the person who said this was his mother-in-law.

Not to mention filial piety, he is also a grasshopper on the same rope as his mother-in-law.

Umalu knew that he was afraid, but she didn't care, and taught him: "You can either be the most convenient knife used by the emperor. Or be the person the emperor will least doubt, even if thousands of people accuse you, The emperor will not have the slightest suspicion of you."

"Er Niang wants me to pretend." Yinzhen asked.

Umalu shook his head: "No, it's not a pretense, but sincerity. You are honest with him, and you can do whatever you think."

"Isn't that the prince?"

Umalu was silent for a while, then sighed: "It's a pity the prince..."

She said: "The prince's mistake is that he was too hasty, too stupid and too sincere."

"You have to remember that he is your emperor's father, the emperor comes first, and the father follows." Umalu taught him, "If you value love and righteousness, then everything you do must be from the heart. To value love and righteousness. In the end, you yourself believe so."

"He will do anything for this, even if he will be relegated and imprisoned." She smiled lightly, "Then he will believe everything about you. In the end, even if you lie, he will not doubt you."

Yinzhen thought about it and said, "Then why didn't Erniang fight for the second place? With Erniang's intelligence, it should be easy to fight for the second place."

Umalu taught him: "You only saw me, but not your imperial father. Your imperial father is not someone who is easily influenced by women."

"He is intelligent by nature but too cautious. Because he feels that he is dull, he always cares about it." Umalu, "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, not to mention that the later position is not only related to the harem, but also to the former court. Even if I try my best, he will not It is impossible to allow me to take the second place."

Umalu patted his forehead: "Although you call yourself a Pochen layman and master of Yuanming, you haven't awakened the mind of enlightenment, and you can't penetrate the essence. You still need to work hard."

Although Yinzhen was slightly displeased, he also knew that his mother was right, so he accepted the punishment obediently.

Umalu took a sip of tea: "What's more, wealth and honor are not my wishes, and the imperial hometown is beyond expectation."

"The son is taught."

Yinzhen thought for a while, carefully pondered Umalu's words, and asked, "How does Er Niang evaluate all elder brothers?"

Umalu smiled and said, "What kind of people are they, does it matter?"

"There is a saying in the book of war: Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

"Silly boy." Umalu couldn't help laughing out loud.

Yinzhen couldn't figure it out, he didn't know what ridiculous thing he said that made his mother laugh like this.

Umalu managed to stop laughing: "You say you are a fool, but you still don't believe it. Have you forgotten? As I said, your opponent was never your brother, but your emperor's father."

It was only when Yinzhen was awakened by her that he realized how big a mistake he had made.

Umalu said slowly: "In this world, there are no more than two kinds of father's love for children. One is that the child is like his father, and he sees himself when he sees the child; the other is that the child is born of the person he loves, no matter how greedy, angry and violent the child is Crazy, I also love it in my heart."

Umalu thought for a while: "There must be a reason why parents love their children. If you don't believe it, it's mostly because you haven't noticed it."

"For the rest, if you only get the favor by flattery, it will be like a cloud in the end."

Yinzhen was stunned, and asked her, "What about you, my mother?"

"I treat you well because you were born to me." Umalu said calmly.

She is not afraid to peel herself off, revealing her bloody true face.

Umalu said: "Your imperial father never knew how to teach children. From the beginning to the end, what he made up for was that he failed to get what he wanted when he was young."

"The crown prince who lost his mother, the eighth son who is sensitive and inferior, and the helpless Yinxiang who lost his mother." Umalu looked at him, "The reason why your imperial father likes to take the young elder brother out is not only because of those elder brothers. Brother will not covet his throne, but also because his imperial father has never taken him like this."

Lucky people use their childhood to heal their whole life; unlucky people use their whole life to heal their childhood.

Exactly, Kangxi is that unfortunate person.

Yinzhen felt fear in his heart, and he already wanted to leave.

Sitting next to a man who sees everything.

How could he not be uneasy.

Umalu knew his anxiety, his fear.

But she doesn't care.

Yinzhen is different from Fourteen.

Fourteen spent his whole life, no matter how he fought against Yinzhen, he just wanted to prove that Yinzhen made a wrong choice, and Yinzhen should have chosen his half-brother instead of Thirteen's half-brother.

Fourteen was stuck here and couldn't get out.

Even if Umalu wanted to reach out and pull him, he refused.

He will eventually be trapped in his own stubbornness, until finally he dies.

She tried hard but failed, so she could only watch him sink into it, and then drown herself.
