Chapter 107: The Fourth and Eighth Brothers Were Imprisoned
Kangxi's stern voice struck everyone's head heavily: "Yesterday's incident, although it did not cause serious consequences, was of a bad nature and cannot be pardoned."

"Come here, strip Prince Yong Yinzhen and Prince Lian Yinsi of their princely titles, remove them from all their duties, and take them to the Imperial Clan Court to be imprisoned!"

"Also, take the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang back to the clan residence!"

The three men looked up at Kangxi and moved their lips. Perhaps they thought about their own behavior, which was indeed unforgivable and they could not argue, so they said nothing in the end.

He silently took off his red hat, placed it on the ground, and was taken away by the palace guards.

Everyone knew that this would most likely be the result, so no one stood up to plead for mercy. It was really ruthless. If the crimes of intent to disrupt government and plot rebellion could be forgiven and pardoned, then what about the system and laws of the court?
Kangxi looked at Longkodo, who was in the corner, looking like a ball of flesh, with disgust. It was this man who was causing trouble. Otherwise, the situation would not have become so chaotic. He hated him to the extreme in his heart: "Longkodo, you betrayed the emperor's grace, abandoned your father and the emperor, formed a clique, and accepted bribes."

"This person is insatiable and greedy, seeking undeserved comfort and prosperity."

"Immediately remove him from all posts, strip him of all titles, and take him to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate shall conduct a strict trial and punish him!"

"Whoa!" Several palace guards came up and dragged Longkodo out!

At this moment, almost half of the court collapsed, and the remaining ministers were all trembling in their hearts, as if they were frightened!

Kangxi raised his head and glanced at Li Yan. Li Yan was blessed and walked to the front of the ministers and said respectfully: "Father, although some people are too selfish, most of the ministers in the court are good. Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi and other important ministers are not in the party with the fourth brother, the eighth brother and the fourteenth brother."

"There are other ministers who have been working hard to stop the situation from escalating and developing, in an attempt to stabilize the court!"

"It's just that I'm powerless to resist the pressure from the princes and princes! I hope the emperor will see their loyalty and show mercy to the ministers!"

After saying this, Li Yan took the lead and knelt down to pray for the ministers. When the other ministers saw this, they all knelt down and shouted in unison: "We are guilty, please forgive us, Your Majesty!"

Faced with Li Yan's plea, all the ministers were grateful!

Kangxi's old face showed a satisfied expression, and he said: "Since the prince has pleaded for you, this matter ends here, and I will not pursue it any further. Why don't you thank the prince?"

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."

"We thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his generosity."

Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi and others were experienced and knew that the emperor was building up momentum for the new prince and winning over the hearts of the people, so they led all the ministers to express their gratitude one by one!

Kangxi thought for a moment and said, "I will order the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Nian Gengyao, to temporarily take over the post of General Fuyuan and be in charge of Northwest military affairs!"

"Order Sichuan Governor Li Wei to take over as the commander-in-chief of the Infantry Office and take charge of the Nine Gates' affairs!"

"Order Tulichen to temporarily serve as the admiral of Fengtai Camp!"

"I will obey your orders!"

The ministers had just come to their senses when they were stunned and shocked by Kangxi's series of appointments.

Nian Gengyao was the prince's brother-in-law. Although he was nominally the fourth prince's man, he was not implicated in this matter and was even promoted to a higher rank. The fourth prince was detained in the Imperial Clan Court and it was unknown when he would be released. Everyone knew that they could not have a chance until the new emperor ascended the throne and sat firmly on the dragon throne.

Li Wei was the beggar that the prince brought back from Jiangnan when he went to the south. After more than ten years of experience in officialdom, he took over the post of Governor of Sichuan left by Nian Gengyao when Nian Gengyao was promoted from Sichuan to Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu two years ago. Now he was transferred back to Beijing to serve as Governor of Nine Gates. This was a sudden rise to fame!

Turichen has always been a smooth and tactful person who never offends anyone. He is the emperor's staunch confidant.

In addition to the Xishan Ruijian Camp, which the prince himself was in charge of, it can be said that half of the military power in Beijing has fallen into the hands of the prince. In addition, the Tenth Master is not like the Fourth Master, who is harsh and offends people everywhere.

The Tenth Master has always been tolerant, calm, and non-aggressive. He has good relations with all forces and factions, and it can be said that he has the support of most of the ministers.

This time, the position of crown prince is as solid as a rock and unbreakable.

The ministers raised their heads again and saw Li Yan and Tulichen supporting the old and frail Kangxi as they walked back to the harem. Everyone knew that the emperor would not last long and the crown prince would succeed him.

Got it!

There shouldn't be any changes this time.
Everyone dispersed, talking in low voices, and walked out of the palace in twos and threes.

This was an earth-shattering night. In one day, the political situation in the capital city changed drastically. The emperor set up a trap and everyone jumped into it. The Fourth Master and the Eighth Master, who were favored by everyone, were defeated. Even the great general Wang Laosisi from the far northwest couldn't wait to get in. It was really ridiculous and unbelievable!

The Tenth Prince Yin, who had always been inconspicuous, stood out and became the winner in the end. The drama of the Nine Dragons fighting for the throne, which lasted for more than ten years, came to an end!
The capital's previously chaotic situation and gloomy political atmosphere seemed to have cleared up overnight, and the sky became clear and sunny!
Both officials and common people breathed a sigh of relief and put their minds at ease!

When Li Yan returned home, everyone in the mansion knew the good news. Unexpectedly, overnight, and completely unexpectedly, the Tenth Master became the Crown Prince.

Everyone in the mansion was very excited. The legitimate wife Borjigit brought her eldest son Hongxuan, the concubines Guo Luoluo and Wang, and Nian Qiuyue brought her second son Honghui, and Alan.

Alan was also taken as a concubine by Li Yan a few years ago.

Everyone bowed deeply to Li Yan and knelt down to welcome him back home.

The five ladies gathered together and held a grand welcome lunch for Li Yan, and everyone showed their most perfect side.

The ladies were all around thirty years old, just like blooming flowers, at the most mature stage of womanhood, with graceful figures, sexy and charming, just like the fruits on the trees in autumn, so fresh and plump that they seemed to be dripping with water, which made Li Yan's heart flutter!

Li Yan looked at the fragrant room, the wives and children in the room, and the daughters born to the concubines. He suddenly felt that this was the most perfect state of life! In modern society, how could he enjoy such a blessing, not to mention that there was a throne waiting for him in the future.

How great it would be if we could live like this in real life!

Kangxi died in the winter of his sixty-first year, just half a year ago. As long as he was cautious, and the main competitors in the court, several ambitious princes, were swept away by the old man, there would be no big problems. Kangxi's physical condition and the situation in the court could not withstand another turmoil.

Completion of the mission is just around the corner!
