The weather in April of the second year of Yongzheng was very dry, which made people's hearts impetuous. The situation in the court has become more delicate due to factors that have been consciously or unconsciously.

During the Chinese New Year, there was news outside the palace, saying that in the winter of last year, the tenth elder brother Yin, who had been crowned the king of the county, was on the way back to Gurro by escorting the Zebu Zundanba Hu Tuketu niche who died in Beijing to return to Golco, and he said that he was sick and stayed in Zhangjiakou and did not return, which made Yinzhen very annoyed.

It stands to reason that Yinzhen was so obviously slapped in the face, and Yinzhen should have taken action against him when he got the news a few years ago, but perhaps because he had just ascended the throne and had not yet gained a stable foothold, the Eight Masters Party in the DPRK and China still had power, and some neutrals or wall grasses were still waiting to see the direction of the wind, so it was inconvenient to do it for a while, so as not to be used by people with intentions to make trouble.

However, I guess that Yinzhen didn't do it a few years ago was just the idea of some people outside the palace, and I was thinking after I got the news at that time, and according to my understanding of Yinzhen, I think he should have another layer of ideas. As the saying goes, death is not terrible, waiting for death is terrible, and killing people with a soft knife is more torturous than killing with a knife. I think he may be deliberately dragging his feet and not making any statement, letting those neutrals and the wall grass figure out their positions clearly, and at the same time, at the same time, let the Eight Masters slowly disintegrate from the inside, and wait until there are more people on his side, and then he will do something to the people of the Eight Masters Party, so that it will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort, and there is no need to bother to suppress the confrontation of the small forces of the Eight Masters Party.

As I expected, at this time, I got the movement of the DPRK again, and sure enough, the direction of the wind began to change. No emperor can tolerate the behavior of a courtier who openly slaps his face and does not buy it, even a brother will not blindly connive, not to mention that this brother is not very close to each other. Therefore, under Yinzhen's ambiguous attitude, there are many smart people in the court who began to speculate on the holy will.

The practice of Yin Yan is to dig his own grave, and people who have been in the officialdom for a long time are smart people who can observe words and colors, judge the situation, and not understand it. The characteristic of smart people is that they like to ponder when encountering things, but some things are better if they don't ponder, and the more they ponder, the more terrible they are. After pondering for half a year, many people began to realize that the new emperor has now ascended the throne, whether it is the intention of the previous emperor or whether it is justified or not, this is already a fact that cannot be changed. And this new master's trigger is not necessarily afraid of the Eight Masters Party, I am afraid that the real intention is just the opposite, that is, to make those people in the Eight Masters Party think that he is afraid, and make more trouble, and when these people are tossed like clowns jumping off the beam, it will be time for the emperor to start to do it.

There is a saying that when the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses will be ambushed. If you really wait for the emperor to get into trouble, I am afraid that it will be a big move, which makes those officials who are more and more afraid of it, and the more afraid they are, the more they will waver. In the end, it became an active queue of good birds and perched on trees. As a result, the officials who originally supported Yinzhen began to strictly restrict their sons and nephews from associating with people related to the Eight Masters Party. Those who were either neutral or wait-and-see began to turn to Yinzhen and cut off all the unclear relations with the Eight Masters. Even some people who were originally members of the Eight Masters Party secretly changed their camps for fear of becoming cannon fodder for the new emperor to vent his anger, and tried their best to draw a clear line with the Eight Masters Party in order to protect themselves. This is naturally the result that Yin Zhen is happy to see, as a result, there are fewer and fewer people who support the Eight Masters Party, and the chances of the Eight Masters Party turning the tables are becoming more and more slim.

On April 26, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and I asked Su Yun to accompany me for a walk in the imperial garden, and suddenly an attendant came over and whispered to Xu Fuduo and then retreated.

Seeing Xu Fuduo's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, I glanced at Su Yun, and Su Yun willingly led the other servants and maids to retreat to the side with the intention of avoiding.

Su Yun's actions made my heart move, thinking that the inner servant should be the person who Xu Fuduo arranged to communicate with the outside of the palace, and the news that Xu Fuduo got was not for Xiao Shunzi to check, then it was related to the movements in the court, and these two things did not need to be hidden from Su Yun, not to mention that since she had the heart to reuse her, it was good to use this matter to test whether she was reliable and loyal, so he signaled Su Yun to come forward to serve without retreating, nodded to Xu Fuduo, and asked him to say that it was okay.

"Master, just got the news from outside the palace, the emperor has issued an edict to remove the prince of the tenth master to arrest and return to the capital to confine, and ordered the raid of the county king's mansion. Xu Fuduo took a step forward and whispered.

After listening to Xu Fuduo, I glanced at Su Yun and saw that her expression was different, so I asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

Su Yun pursed her lips and whispered: "The emperor is going to start rectifying the eighth master, and the tenth master's matter is just the beginning." ”

"You say, the tenth master made such a big mistake this time, could it be intentional?" I suddenly remembered a statement I had seen on the Internet, saying that although Yinzhen usually looks like a straw bag, but after leaving Beijing this time, he excused himself by saying that he was sick and did not return on purpose, in order to give Yinzhen a reason to condemn him, so that he could avoid a bigger disaster in the future, saying that he was not actually a straw bag, and it was also a time when he was wise and foolish.

"No, the relationship between the tenth master and the ninth master is very good, and the slaves often interacted with the tenth master in the ninth master's mansion back then, so I still know seven or eight points about the tenth master's temperament. The slave felt that the possibility that the master said was unlikely to be something that the character of Geng until some stunned people like the tenth master could do. The slave felt that the tenth master was really dissatisfied with the emperor by doing this, so he acted so recklessly. Su Yun said.

"The slave also felt that it was unlikely that the tenth master would do this because he wanted to avoid trouble. Although the slave didn't know what the tenth master's temperament was, the slave felt that if the tenth master did it on purpose, the risk would be too great, he was not close to the emperor, how did he know that the emperor would not give him to the ...... in anger for the crime of resisting the decree and not returning" Xu Fuduo saw that Su Yun spoke first, and he also took the words to speak, and in the end, he was afraid of committing a taboo, so he just made a chopping action with his hand.

I looked up at the sky and said in a low voice: "The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and the one who should come must come." ”

The next day, a detailed report about the raid of Yin's house was delivered to me early in the morning. It turned out that this time Yin's conviction was really not a deliberate plan to get out of the way if he was wise and foolish, otherwise he would not have prayed privately, and even wrote "Yongzheng Xinjun" in the text. This is a great sin of disrespect. The three-year-old children in the market know that disrespect is a big crime to kill the head, and Yin Yan will not try to use this way to get rid of the golden cicada if he has a little brain, and the only explanation can only be his "rash action" with a momentary brain fever. Thinking about it, Yinzhen still understands the temperament of this tenth brother, so it can be regarded as mercy to his subordinates, otherwise I am afraid that it is not as simple as removing the lord and confining the family.

The beginning and end of the real thing, the initiator is actually Yinzhen. After Yinzhen succeeded to the throne, Yinzhen and others were unwilling to fail, so they have been secretly rubbing behind their backs to make small movements. In order to divide and disintegrate the "Eight Masters Party", Yinzhen sent Yinzhen to escort the Jebuzundanba Hutuk Tuling Shrine, who died of illness after coming to Beijing, to Khalkha Mongolia. Khalkha Mongolia is thousands of miles away from Beijing, and it is definitely a chore for Yin, who has been pampered in the capital since he was a child, and he even thought that he might not be able to go back because of his unsuitability. Therefore, when the team escorting the shrine arrived in Zhangjiakou, Yin Yan immediately said that he was not in good health, and asked to recuperate in Zhangjiakou. After that, the ten elder brothers, who had no political mind, also prayed privately and wrote "Yongzheng Xinjun" in the text, Yinzhen learned that he was disrespectful to the emperor, and finally the military department impeached him, and ordered the eighth master to Yunxi's proposed charges. I can't help but sigh that Yinzhen is really stupid, and at the same time, I can't help but admire Yinzhen's good methods.

Speaking of the raid on the mansion of Yin, just looking at the list presented to the public is staggering, from his home does not mention treasures and antiques, just the silver ticket is enough to relieve the empty treasury for a while. Thinking about it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get so much money by myself with the IQ of Yinyu, fortunately, while holding the money given by the court to the princes, I was covered by Yinyu, a wealthy ninth brother, and a little business was earned, and then it was the filial piety of some officials who stood under the banner of the Eight Sages King before, and once again made people sigh that sometimes it is really a fool who has a foolish fortune, and when he gains power, he is rich and noble, and when he loses power, he can save his life with the charge of disrespect, and there is no one who lives to this extent.

But after reading the report, what I feared also happened. History is still acting according to the established trajectory, and it has not changed the general direction because of my arrival. A large number of letters written by Yinzhen to Yinzhen were copied from Yinyu's house, Yinzhen had a lot of disrespectful words to Yinzhen in the letter, and specially instructed Yinzhen to destroy it after reading it, but the two stunned people can be reliable, and the sows will go up the tree.

In fact, Yinyu will leave a letter from Yinyu, I know, and I also asked Xiaoshunzi to remind Yinyu to be careful and not to send letters to Yinyu again, but Yinyu didn't listen to persuasion, insisted on this, and I couldn't help it. Xiao Shunzi was even afraid that I was worried, and he also proposed whether to go to Yin's mansion to check whether the letter was destroyed, and I stopped him, after all, this is my known history, as long as it develops in the known direction, I can still have a chance to save him at the last moment, but if Xiao Shunzi takes the letter away, then the trajectory of history will change greatly, and it may extend to an uncontrollable situation, and at that time I am afraid that not only can I not save Yinyu, but also take myself. That's it, time is also fate, everything goes naturally, and you can only do your best to obey the destiny of heaven.
