Chapter 23: The Evil Strategist
,
Out of Xichun Garden, Yinzhen and Yinxiang went all the way to Dongcheng District and entered the Yongwang Mansion, both of them went straight to the back garden without saying a word.
The back garden of Yongwang's Mansion looks very ordinary on the surface, and the only thing that is slightly unusual is that it is a little quieter, and it is extremely difficult to see people inside and outside the garden. But Yinxiang knew that there were at least 60 people living in it, and there were two underground secret passages in the back garden, which led to the house 500 steps away from the east and west.
The east side of the back garden is a small Buddhist hall, which lives in the Tibetan Lama, and the west side is a three-entry courtyard covered by the bamboo forest, the courtyard, even if it is Yinxiang, has never entered, the south is a small courtyard with two entrances, the outside looks inconspicuous, but the inside is very exquisitely decorated, this courtyard Yinxiang often comes, there is a cripple who is respected by Yinzhen as Mr. Wusidao.
The origin of Wu Sidao, Yinxiang is not clear, but this Mr. Wu is really powerful, and he sees people and things very differently from ordinary people, but he often says in one sentence, Yinzhen attaches great importance to him, and Yinxiang also likes to chat with him.
Seeing Yinzhen, the two Yinxiang brothers came in, Wu Sidao didn't get up, just waved his hand, and said with a smile: "I've seen the fourth master, the thirteenth master." ”
"Sir, don't be polite." Yinzhen sat down straight and poured a cup of tea for himself.
Wu Sidao said with a smile: "The fourth master has a lot of worries, but the thirteenth master can't hide his joy between his eyebrows, he must have just met the prince." ”
Yinxiang said with a smile: "It is said that scholars don't go out, they can know the world, and I can be regarded as eye-opening today." ”
"What's so hard about that?" Wu Sidao smiled slightly, "The fourteenth master has included 12.5 million taels in one fell swoop today, and the people may not have heard of it, but the sect and noble have spread it well, with the prince's heart, it is strange that he is not in a hurry to summon you, and the thirteenth master has a happy face, presumably he did not give the shares in his hand to the prince." ”
Yinxiang jumped up suddenly, "Even you know this?" ”
Yin Zhen glanced at it and said coldly: "Thirteenth brother, Mingyu of Jinghua Building, have you redeemed her?" ”
"Nope." Yinxiang understood, and said with a smile: "The shares are in my hands, and I didn't give them to the second brother, because I was afraid that he would toss too hard and trap us all when the time comes." ”
"What do you mean?" Yinzhen and Wu Sidao both stared at Yinxiang closely.
Yinxiang made the two of them look a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "The fourth brother knows, I am a person who has three religions and nine streams, and a few days ago I met a few acquaintances, and drank together to catch up with the old days, only to know that several of them were in Tongzhou Camp as chief officials, and in the conversation, they faintly revealed that someone used silver to buy them." ”
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
Yinxiang said aggrievedly, "Fourth brother, this is all a matter of chasing after the wind and shadows, there is no evidence, how dare I chew my tongue in front of you." ”
After being silent for a moment, Yinzhen turned his head, "Mr. Wu, what do you think of this huge amount of money in the hands of the fourteenth brother?" ”
Wu Sidao frowned slightly, and said slowly: "In the past six months since the prince was reinstated, among the elder brothers, the most popular one is the fourteenth master. After advocating the agricultural book, the emperor immediately ordered him to divide the house, run the hope of righteousness, the emperor rewarded him with double money, and received the 'four constants', the emperor got 25 million taels of huge money, but did not reward him, the fourteenth master is now just a shell, not rewarded, in fact, this is the biggest reward, which shows that the emperor inherited his love, love this thing, is the most difficult to fathom. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Sidao was the first to speak, and turned to Yinzhen, "Fourth master, Sidao is not clear, I hope that the fourth master will solve his doubts, the emperor has always strictly forbidden the private transmission of Western learning, why is the Fourteenth Master's Righteous Society for the first to advocate Western learning awarded by the emperor?" ”
Yin Zhen hesitated before saying, "I heard the little eunuch in the palace say that the fourteenth brother's righteous school seems to be related to the missionary surveying and drawing maps. ”
Wu Sidao raised his head and said suddenly: "Sidao understands, the vision of the Fourteenth Master is really unique, how can the map of a country be fake to outsiders for a long time?" The Fourteenth Master wanted to train his own surveying and mapping talents for the Qing Dynasty, no wonder the emperor not only did not blame him, but also rewarded him with double money. ”
Although Wu Sidao didn't mention Yinzhen and Yinxiang at all, both of them were a little ashamed after hearing these words, Yinxiang secretly said in his heart, this dead cripple, scolding not only does not carry dirty words, but also does not mention the name, but he must study hard.
"Let's talk about the book first." Wu Sidao took a sip of tea, his expression has become a little dignified, "The fourth master, the thirteenth master, don't blame Sidao for being wordy, the fourteenth master is likely to be the fourth master's strongest opponent in the future, let's pay enough attention to him, advocate agriculture book published in the newspaper, I will read it carefully, although there are shortcomings, but as far as Xingnong is concerned, its suggestions, especially the construction of agricultural colleges, are really high-level, once implemented, it will benefit the country and the people." The emperor published it in the newspaper of the palace, and then ordered the fourteenth master to divide the mansion, thinking about it in vain speculation, and the emperor intended for the fourteenth master to go to Jiangnan Lingyuan Agricultural College. And the purpose of the fourteenth master advocating the agricultural book is nothing more than to divide the government or leave the capital. ”
Yinxiang was quite strange, and couldn't help asking, "Why did you leave Beijing?" Could it be that Fourteen wants to break away from the Starling party? ”
"Definitely." Wu Sidao said with a smile: "The Fourteenth Master doesn't want to break away from the Eighth Master Party, but he himself wants to take the position, but his current foundation is still shallow, so he wants to get out of Beijing, get out of the place of right and wrong, accumulate strength, and when he returns to Beijing, it will be the day when the Eighth Master gives way."
Judging from the three things of the Fourteenth Master, he has a long-term and unique vision, and he is meticulous, not to mention the means, and what is even more rare is that he does everything in a dignified manner, and he completely uses yang schemes to achieve his goals.
Who is the emperor? Wen Tao Wu strategy, the eternal hero, everything is above board, the fourteenth master's conspiracy is the secret of the saint's mind, this is the worry of the Tao, the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, that is the troubled times, the peaceful and prosperous times, the one who gets the sacred heart wins the world! The eighth master is the best example.
As for the huge amount of money in the hands of the Fourteenth Master, the emperor will definitely not ask, but the Fourteenth Master will definitely take the initiative to say it, with his mind, he should have planned it well a long time ago, the Fourteenth Master acted unreasonably, and Sidao couldn't guess what he would do? But it is certain that what he wants to do is not in the capital, and the duel will bring him enough prestige and connections, and the emperor will definitely be beneficial, and it is difficult to say whether your brother can be stained again.
To tell the truth, the Fourteenth Master used 200,000 yuan to play such a big trick, and now he has more than 10 million, Sidao is really looking forward to his next step. ”
Those who win the sacred heart win the world, Yinzhen couldn't help but be stupid for a while, this is really to the point.
After Yinzhen sold his shares, he knew that he was like Tang Seng now, everyone wanted to take a bite, and there was no shortage of hob meat among those brothers, so he didn't stop at all, slipped out of the back door, and rushed to the palace.
In Qianqingmen, Yinzhen learned that Kangxi was in the Yangxin Palace, so he rushed directly to the Yangxin Palace, but as soon as he entered the Yuehua Gate, he met Li Dequan, Li Dequan took a walk in the gap where Kangxi wrote the secret fold, and saw Yinzhen coming, and hurriedly caught up to ask for peace, Yinzhen smiled and said: "Gonggong Li, you are killing fourteen, please get up." ”
Li Dequan smiled and said, "The fourteenth master wants to see the emperor." ”
Yinzhen thought that he was about to leave Beijing, and Li Dequan had been by Kangxi's side, so he had a good friend, so he gave him a look.
Li Dequan has been in the palace for many years, and he is a fine character, so he naturally understands it, and leads Yinzhen to a remote place.
While gesticulating to drive away the eunuchs who were waiting beside him.
When he arrived at no one's place, Yinzhen took out a silver ticket, handed it to Li Dequan, and said with a smile: "I will leave Beijing in a few days on the 14th, and I can't fulfill my filial piety by Huang Ama's side, and I have a lot of trouble with my father-in-law Li." ”
