Chapter 59 Li Yan is crowned Prince Dun

Li Yan was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would have a share.

It seems that his performance has been recognized by the old man. If it were under normal circumstances, for a prince, everyone would rack their brains and the court officials would discuss it repeatedly. Without a reasonable reason, there would be no chance of success.

Li Yan knew that this was an opportunity. At this critical moment, which Kangxi considered, he should make the final decision.

No one is allowed to say anything!
At this time of tense atmosphere and panic among the people, none of the princes and ministers dared to stand up and oppose, because no one knew what had happened to make the emperor take such a big move all of a sudden. If they acted rashly at this time, they might bring disaster upon themselves.

After this incident is over and the dust has settled, it won't be so easy to settle the accounts!
Li Yan glanced at his brothers around him out of the corner of his eye. When they heard that he was conferred the title of prince, the ninth and fourteenth brothers on his left and right were obviously moved and turned their heads to look in his direction.

Then he straightened his body without raising any question.

The eldest, third, fourth and eighth brothers were all immersed in the great surprise of being conferred the title of prince and had no time to care about Li Yan.

Li Dequan's voice continued to ring out: "From now on, all the seals of the crown prince will be discontinued. Prince Zhi Yinzhi will be in charge of the palace guards. Prince Cheng Yinzhi will be in charge of the Rehe garrison camp. No one may send orders to various ministries and provinces to mobilize troops without my personal order. All the guards, personal soldiers, soldiers of the Shanbu camp and garrison troops will be controlled by Prince Zhi Yinzhi, Prince Cheng Yinzhi and the Minister of the Shangshufang Ma Qi. Please order me to control them. This is the emperor's order!"

"Prince Zhi, Prince Cheng, the Emperor has ordered that the two gentlemen come in. The other princes and beizi are staying outside and waiting for the Emperor's order. They are not allowed to leave!"

After receiving the imperial edict, the eldest prince Yinzhi glanced at the other princes kneeling outside, with a slightly smug look on his face, and then he and the third prince Yinzhi entered Jiedeju.

Li Yan looked at the two silently, and then stopped caring. He knew that tomorrow, these two people would jump out and fight each other because of their eagerness for quick success. Being rejected by Kangxi and losing the emperor's heart, one would be imprisoned forever, and the other would be scolded and blasphemed, and would never have the chance to be crowned as the heir.

The other brothers around looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

However, Li Yan knew at a glance that although the Eighth and Fourteenth Olds also pretended to be confused, their eyes showed guilt. The Eighth Old was a little uneasy and worried, probably because he was worried that the matter would be exposed and implicate him. And the Fourteenth Olds looked around with his eyes roaming around, and seemed to be gloating.

Time passed slowly. At first, it was fine, but then, one by one, the princes could no longer kneel. They slowly twisted and turned, moving their bodies slightly, and their knees began to ache. They were all from wealthy families, their bodies were delicate and precious, and they had never suffered such pain.

Although Li Yan pretended to complain, he was actually much more comfortable than the others because he had anticipated this and had a thick cotton pad under his knees, which made him feel much better than hitting his knees directly on the cold hard stone slab.

The ninth one on the left said to himself: "Tenth one, with such a big scene, do you know what happened?"

"How did I know?"

"I just came back from Bigo's place and hadn't even taken a bite of food when Tulichen called me over."

"Hey Fourteenth Brother, do you know what happened?" Li Yan looked puzzled, and then he confronted Old Fourteen on his right.

Old Fourteen also looked confused: "I don't know either. I want to ask you guys something."

"Hey Old Ten"

"Hey you! What did you do behind your brothers' backs? Why did the emperor confer the title of prince on you, while we have no share?" The Fourteenth Prince changed the subject and started to stir up trouble.

The ninth brother next to him also had a look of curiosity and jealousy on his face: "Yeah, to be honest, I was ranked ahead of you, tenth brother. You were given the title but I was not. This doesn't make sense!" Not only did the fourteenth brother act like a demon himself, he also secretly made enemies for himself. There was not a single bit of respect for his elder brother that he should have in his words.

Not even a little superficial effort.

Really narrow-minded.
Just because of this, when I get to the top in the future, I will keep you under control for a few years so that you can learn some etiquette!
Li Yan was secretly dissatisfied in his heart, but his face showed a look of being kept in the dark: "You ask me, who should I ask? The emperor conferred titles on five princes tonight, so something big must have happened. Didn't you notice that the crown prince and the Thirteenth Prince were not here? It's impossible for the emperor to forget about such a big thing."

"Looking at this situation, is there anyone planning a rebellion?"

Li Yan changed the topic back without showing any emotion.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the Ninth and Fourteenth Brothers no longer cared about the prince's affairs. Their faces kept changing as they guessed what had happened.

"Hahaha"

"I'm going to beat you to death with a steel whip, you living cuckold."

"Who am I? I am the current prince, the future"

"Your Majesty"

At this moment, the prince and the Thirteenth Brother came staggering over from a distance. The prince looked crazy and sweared. He quarreled with Zhang Wu Ge for a few words and broke into the house.

After a while
There was chaos in the room. Brother Zhang Wu said that the emperor had fainted and he wanted to call the imperial physician. All the princes stood up and rushed into the room. Li Yan was the last one to fall. Seeing this, he pulled the fourth prince who was walking at the end.

The fourth brother looked back and saw Li Yan pulling him and winking at him. He frowned, thought for a moment, and then shouted, "Stop. At this moment, no one of us can move without permission."

After saying that, he took the lead and knelt back to his original place.

The other brothers were in a mess and wanted to take this opportunity to go in and see what was going on, but after being yelled at by the Fourth Brother, they all looked displeased and returned to their seats in a bad mood.

After a while, Li Dequan called everyone in and told Kangxi what had happened. Then everyone realized that the prince had issued a handwritten edict without authorization and secretly transferred Ling Pu's two thousand troops to the palace with ulterior motives.

Then the eldest prince started to attack the crown prince and quarreled with the third prince, making the old man so angry that he couldn't breathe. He leaned on the table with his hands and turned his back to everyone, without saying a word.

Everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe and stared at Kangxi closely.

Seeing this, Li Yan lightly raised his footsteps and walked behind Kangxi before Li Dequan. He put his hand on Kangxi's back to soothe him, and said anxiously: "Father, all the mistakes are our fault. You are old, please don't hurt yourself."

Li Yan continued to walk the path of others, leaving them with nowhere to go.
Seeing Li Yan coming forward, Li Dequan stepped back. The other princes looked up, and in such a tense situation, no one dared to speak nonsense.

Li Yan quietly circulated his internal energy to help Kangxi breathe smoothly. This time Kangxi did not faint. He calmed down and was about to speak when Li Yan gently pinched his arm.

Kangxi glanced at Li Yan, who gave him a subtle wink. Kangxi thought for a moment and said, "All of you should leave. Everyone, leave. I need to rest for a while."
