Chapter 125 The Third Brother with Extremely Low Emotional Intelligence
Hearing this, people from all timelines felt that the third prince was indeed quite pitiful. However, after hearing what Lin Ke said next, they felt even more sympathetic towards the third prince.
"Yinzhi's early work, 'Collection of Ancient and Modern Books,' has finally been published. The fourth son divided it into two versions, a high-grade version and a low-grade version, based on the type of paper used."
"As a result, the third prince didn't even get a premium version. Even a minister like Zhang Tingyu had a premium version. You can imagine how much of a blow the third prince suffered at this time."
"This is the culmination of his years of hard work, and in the end he was given a low-grade version. It's a bit cruel!"
"At that moment, the seventeenth prince came over to check the third prince's accounts. It's possible that the third prince did have some problems. In any case, the third prince was extremely uncooperative with the investigation and started cursing: 'You, the seventeenth prince, are trying to bully me! ...I'm still the emperor's third brother!'"
"The thirteenth prince seized on this statement and immediately submitted a memorial impeaching him, accusing him of disrespecting the emperor, arrogance, and all sorts of other crimes. However, it may also be because he was uncooperative, but you can all see who is standing behind the seventeenth prince."
"So in the end, the third prince Yinzhi's title was reduced to a county prince, but I have a strong suspicion that the third prince and the thirteenth prince had other conflicts besides the hair-shaving incident. It feels like they were always targeting him."
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: If you don't even know who you've offended, then you're not suited to live in the royal family!
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: But this emperor is indeed petty, hahaha!
Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty: ...
"Immediately afterwards, Yongzheng had little time to deal with his third son, because the Zeng Jing case broke out, and its main content was to spread the rumor that Yongzheng had murdered his father and brother."
"Therefore, Yongzheng spent all his time figuring out how to clear his name of this crime, and even published the 'Record of Awakening from Delusion' in the eighth year of his reign."
"This approach seems rather puzzling. This book mainly addresses and clarifies various rumors surrounding him, and it even specifically restored the third brother's title, indicating that I treat this older brother quite well!"
"But have you considered that what you're doing is rather suspicious? It feels like you're making things worse by trying to explain yourself. Look at the people's political figures, Piggy, the rumors are flying everywhere. Do you see them deliberately creating this kind of thing?"
"Look, you wrote this book specifically to address this question even in later generations!"
Liu Zhuzhu, the Great Han: ...Who dares to speak ill of me?!
First Emperor, Ancestral Dragon: ...!?
Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty: !!!
"As we all know, the fourth prince, Yongzheng, only had one younger brother, the thirteenth prince. So, just a few months after Yinzhi's title was restored, the thirteenth prince, Yinxiang, passed away. Yongzheng was very heartbroken and almost couldn't bear the blow!"
"At this time, the third prince showed no grief at Prince Yi's funeral, which is why I suspected that he and the thirteenth prince had an irreconcilable conflict and had to go to such lengths. Couldn't he have just put on an act?"
"Moreover, the thirteenth prince has an exceptionally good relationship with Yongzheng. If he saw your attitude, he would be furious! So Yongzheng didn't care whether he was now disgraced or not, and directly issued a long article listing the third prince's crimes."
"This crime was started when he had difficulty speaking as a child. It was probably a purge that included everyone who could be considered guilty. The Imperial Clan Court ordered all the princes and officials to be convicted, and it was done to the highest standard."
"Finally, in the same month that the thirteenth prince died, the Imperial Clan Court determined ten crimes, and as a result, Yin Zhi was stripped of his title, while the third prince was sent to Jingshan to reflect on his actions."
"Two years later, the third prince, Yinzhi, passed away at the age of 56. In fact, after Prince Yi's death, Yongzheng went a bit crazy and probably couldn't handle the blow. He stripped many people of their titles. In the midst of the treacherous court struggles, I never expected there to be such brotherly affection."
"Later, there was a saying that offending the fourth brother might not necessarily lead to trouble, but if you offend the thirteenth brother, then you're really in big trouble!"
Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty: ...
A scion of a prominent family in the Tang Dynasty: Does he not even understand the most basic social etiquette? Or is there a deep conflict between him and the thirteenth prince?
An official from the Song Dynasty: These two brothers have such a good relationship!
Zhu Baba of the Ming Dynasty: He has no sense of judgment at all!
……
The Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty
At this moment, Yin Zhi, who was being confined to Jingshan, had very complicated feelings. He never expected that anyone would sympathize with him.
He's been thinking a lot these past few days. Many things seem like they happened yesterday, yet also like a long time has passed.
His conflict with the thirteenth prince had a long history, but ultimately he had no brother who could protect him as much as he protected Yinxiang.
If he is good at socializing, will he have some close brothers?
It's just a pity that he didn't have the chance.
