I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 151 Guar Jia Wen Yuan (18)

Considering that regicide is a very risky act, and Kang Mazi has not yet uttered the curse "born to kill your mother" that could have easily defeated Yinreng, Yinreng actually still has great respect for Kangxi in his heart.

Therefore, the act of killing Kang Mazi must be kept secret. Otherwise, if Yinreng knew that Kangxi's death was caused by him, their love for each other might be over.

Therefore, Yun Hui and the others couldn't be asked to do this. The more people who knew, the more risk. Wen Yuan was just like a vacation in this small world. Apart from occasionally reading some historical materials of the Qing Dynasty, she basically didn't learn any other skills.

Well, so she hasn’t learned the martial arts that she had been longing for in the previous small world yet. In this case, it is not a good idea for her to drug Kangxi herself.

Fortunately, she is now a big score holder and has plenty of money, so she simply gave Kangxi a luxurious custom service.

Just like that, not long after Rouze and the freak baby she gave birth to died, Kangxi died. His death was particularly undignified, as he suddenly died when he and Concubine Shu were in great harmony.

Kangxi's death was so sudden that not only Shu Guifei was shocked, but everyone inside and outside the palace was shocked.

But after being forced to accept this fact, in addition to preparing for Yinreng's ascension to the throne, he also had to hold Kangxi accountable for his death.

Concubine Shu reacted quickly. She knew that she was in trouble. She had attracted a lot of hatred since she entered the palace. From Concubine Tong and the Four Heavenly Kings to the young concubines and maids who had no rank but were actually very favored, no one in the palace wanted to kill her as soon as possible.

But her Yinli was still so young, and Concubine Shu didn't want him to die so easily. She mobilized almost all the connections she had accumulated since she became a favorite concubine to spread rumors inside and outside the palace.

Concubine Shu wanted to blame Kangxi's death on Rouze. She had people spread rumors that it was because Rouze gave birth to a monster and that God punished her by sending down punishment, so Changshengtian took Kangxi away.

Not to mention, after she spread the news, quite a few people actually believed it. After all, Rouze had been a top star in Beijing in recent years, and many people paid special attention to her words and deeds. The fact that Rouze had given birth to a freak had already been spread everywhere by the people who had been asked by the blackened version of Yixiu.

Yinreng, well, is now Emperor Yuanqi. When Emperor Yuanqi first learned of his father's death, he was stunned.

After all, his father had been scolding him fiercely in front of the emperor the day before, so how could he suddenly die the next day? And such an undignified death.

You know, the last famous emperor who died in the same way was Emperor Cheng of Han, and his reputation was not very good...

Although in recent years Kangxi always acted like an old man in menopause, with violent storms and warm sunshine at times, Yinreng often found it difficult to cope with him.

But now that he was gone, he only remembered the kindness his father had shown him. The more sad he was about his father's death, the more Yinreng would not let Shu Guifei go.

No, now we should call her Concubine Shugui.

Shu Gui Concubine Yinreng must be executed. No one in the former dynasty or the harem had any objection to this. After all, no matter how much she tried to argue, it was an indisputable fact that the late emperor died in her bed.

It was just that Concubine Shu Gui could be executed, but her own son Yin Li became a hot potato.

Just because of the death of the previous emperor, and given the deep feelings that the new emperor and his brothers had for Kangxi, it was obvious that this child had no future.

Anyone with a little bit of intelligence can see this, so none of the concubines of the previous emperor wanted Yinli. Yinreng was very angry about this, and Wen Yuan urged him to force Yinli to Concubine Dowager De.

"Isn't there a rumor that the emperor was cursed by the freak born by the deceased Fourth Concubine? I think this rumor is not without reason. The Fourth Concubine is gone, but she is the niece of Concubine Dowager De and the legitimate wife of the Fourth Prince. This job should be assigned to Concubine Dowager De."

Don't thank her, she is doing this for Yixiu's sake. With Yinli to hold back Concubine De's energy, she shouldn't be able to stir up trouble in the Fourth Prince's mansion anymore. Without Concubine De's suppression, when Yixiu is promoted to the position of the legitimate wife, won't she be able to do whatever she wants in the Fourth Prince's mansion?

Yes, that's right. Although it is an unwritten rule that the new emperor will promote his brothers to higher titles and show favors upon his accession to the throne, who asked the fourth brother to be involved in the death of Kangxi?

Even though it was just a rumor, Yinreng didn't care. The other brothers who were immersed in the grief of losing their father also unanimously felt that it was reasonable for Yinreng not to promote the fourth brother's title.

Thus, in the first year of the Yuanqi reign, such a strange scene appeared. Starting from the eldest brother, except for the fourth brother who was the only one who was a Beile, all the other brothers until the fifteenth brother were princes.

Well, in addition to his brothers, Yinreng now has five sons.

The eldest prince born to Li Jia died when he was in his teens. Yinreng's oldest surviving child is the second prince Hongxi born to Li Jia, and Yinreng also conferred the title of Beile on this son.

Except for the second prince, the four sons after Yinreng were all born to Wen Yuan.

Hongyan, the third prince, was directly named the crown prince by Yinreng as soon as he came to the throne. As for the fourth prince Honggao, born in the 38th year of Kangxi's reign; the fifth prince Hongshi, born in the 41st year of Kangxi's reign; and the sixth prince Honggui, born in the 44th year of Kangxi's reign, they are all too young and will not be given separate titles for the time being.

In addition to these people from the previous dynasty, the new emperor still has a lot of things to do after he ascends the throne.

For example, the titles and retirement places of the concubines of the previous emperor. Since he had just wholesaled a bunch of princes, and the salaries of so many princes were enough to drain the national treasury, Yinreng simply did not add any more titles to any of the concubines of the previous emperor.

As for where to place these concubines, Yinreng was actually a bit troubled. Ningshou Palace was so small, and there were so many concubines of Kangxi, there was no way to fit them all in!

At this time, Yinreng had no choice but to show mercy and let his brothers take their biological mothers or adoptive mothers out of the palace to live in old age. Of course, this was not free.

Yinreng had to pay them so much salary every year, he couldn't let them just eat and not work.

Yinreng thought from his own experience that if his biological mother were still alive, if he were just an ordinary prince, he would definitely be happy to take his biological mother to his house to be a unique, free and comfortable old concubine.

Now, in order to make room for the new emperor's harem, all of Kangxi's concubines lived in those rooms, and it was so crowded that they were almost dying.

Those who had no sons had no choice but to accept their fate and share a large bunk bed with others; but those concubines who had sons, or even whose sons had their own huge prince's mansions, when they heard Yinreng say that they would be allowed to leave the palace to retire, they wanted to move out that same day!

But unfortunately, Yinreng set conditions for taking the concubines out of the palace.
