Prince Yong's Mansion, back garden, south courtyard cottage.

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen and Wu Sidao sat opposite each other, both silent, Kangxi woke up from a coma, and the news of the establishment of the fourteenth prince was not a small blow to Yinzhen, seeing that Oro Dai was ready to move, the manpower he transferred also began to gather in the suburbs of Beijing, and he could make a big fuss in the capital immediately.

didn't want to be in this knot, but Kangxi was sober, and he also established the old fourteenth as the prince, completely cutting off Yinzhen's idea of competing for the prince, and his mood can be imagined.

The old thirteen Yinxiang came to send a message, asking him to leave for the south of Karopa as soon as possible, which made him even more frustrated, it seems that the old fourteen's patience with him has reached the limit, and if he does not leave Beijing, he is likely to suffer a severe blow from the old fourteen, so it can also be guessed that the old fourteen is secretly monitoring him.

After a long period of silence, Wu Sidao slowly spoke: "Fourth Master, the practitioner is Junjie, now he is a man-made sword, I am a fish and meat, let's set off to the south in the near future, the trip to Europe, if it can go well, the fourth master is not without opportunities." ”

Still a chance? Yin Zhen paused, and then said dejectedly: "The navy is in the hands of the old fourteenth, and the old fourteenth of our people going to Europe is not only clear, but also restricted, what other opportunities are there?" ”

"What Sidao refers to is that there is still a chance to compete for the reserve." Wu Sidao said firmly.

Opportunity to compete for savings! Yin Zhen was like a cat that saw a mouse, and his body immediately leaned forward, staring at Wu Sidao eagerly, is it difficult for Kangxi to be able to waste the prince three times? However, how can the old fourteen be comparable to Yinren? It was not easy to abolish him, and he asked eagerly, "Why did Mr. Wu say this?" The old fourteen is not like the second brother. ”

Wu Sidao didn't sell Guan Zi, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Fourth master, the emperor appointed the fourteenth master as the prince this time, but he was forced to be helpless!" That's the bane! ”

Forced to be helpless? Who dares to persecute Kangxi? In the blink of an eye. Yinzhen understood that he was forced by the situation! He was instantly refreshed. There is truth to this. Last year, hundreds of officials asked for a prince, Kangxi had no intention of establishing a prince at all, and the reason why he made the old fourteenth prince this time was entirely because of hemiplegia. Unable to handle government affairs normally.

"The emperor was in a coma twice for seven days. This time I was awake, I must have been extremely weak, and I found that half of my body was unconscious. Panic and anxiety in my heart. It can well be imagined. Wu Sidao said eloquently: "Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there have been frequent disputes for the crown prince, Taizong and Shizu, all of which are like this, and so far, it has become more and more intense. The emperor was afraid that his illness would recur, and there was a chaotic situation behind him. Therefore, it is necessary to set up a reserve in a hurry, to consolidate the country's foundation, and to reassure the people.

I just pondered it, the emperor was sober for the first time, removed the commander of the nine gates, and appointed the enemy of the fourteenth master, Oro Dai, as the commander of the nine gates, which can be said to be of great significance. ”

"But do you want to try to investigate?" Yin Zhen groaned: "Could it be that at that time, the emperor felt that his condition was serious? ”

Wu Sidao nodded and said, "After the emperor became ill, he never left the imperial doctor, how could the imperial doctor not know about the severity of the illness and the change in the pulse?" It is very likely that the emperor had hemiplegia at that time, and it stands to reason that the emperor should have established a prince, but the emperor only removed the governor of Jiumen.

To appoint Oro Dai as the governor of the Nine Gates, the emperor mainly considered three points, one was to prevent the fourteenth master from taking the opportunity to force the palace. The second is to test whether the fourteenth master has the heart to rebel. The third is to divide the 14th Party and the Eighth Party to avoid the phenomenon of the 14th Master responding to every call. ”

Yin Zhen nodded slightly: "The first and third points are not difficult to understand, it is the emperor's own safety considerations, but the second point is quite incomprehensible. ”

Wu Sidao didn't think about it, so he blurted out: "The fourteenth master has amazing financial resources, and he controls tens of thousands of navies, which is enough to sweep the 100,000 Eight Banners forbidden brigade in the capital. …,

The emperor suddenly suffered a stroke and fell into a coma, but appointed the enemy of the Fourteenth Master, Oro Dai, as the Admiral of the Nine Gates, which not only easily divided and disintegrated the alliance between the Fourteenth Party and the Eighth Party, but also caused a situation of confrontation between the two parties, and it can even be said that the Fourteenth Master was in danger in one fell swoop.

In the face of the emperor's distrust, in the face of the treacherous situation in the capital, and in his hand he has a powerful navy that is enough to sweep the eight banners forbidden brigade in the capital, as long as he goes out of the capital, he can enter the capital to compete for power, and he can retreat to the South Seas Australia, the fourth master, translocation, you are in the situation of the fourteenth master, what will you do? ”

Ask yourself, will definitely go out of Beijing, Yinzhen secretly thought in his heart, once out of Beijing, it is a situation where you can attack and retreat, and the worst is that you can stand up as the emperor in Nanyang and Australia, and he groaned slightly, so he asked: "Why didn't the old fourteen go out of Beijing?" Is it to peek into the emperor's intentions? ”

"The fourth master is a knowing advisor?" Wu Sidao said with a smile: "The fourteenth master has a broad vision and a magnificent spirit, what he wants is the whole world, not a corner of the world. ”

"The eighth child is too unhelpful, and he missed this great opportunity." Yin Zhen sighed lightly.

"The fourth master's words are a bit underestimating the eighth master." Wu Sidao smiled slightly and said: "The reason why the eighth master was able to form the current situation is because he has a good relationship, treats people kindly, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and has good conduct.

In the previous situation, even if the eighth master was the first to strike and solve the fourteenth master in a desperate gamble, what was waiting for him would not be the throne, but the disgrace of his reputation, but the fourth and third masters were cheapened for nothing, how could the eighth master not be able to break this?

Besides, the fourteenth master was also a little ruthless, first throwing out the illusion of the emperor's grandson to confuse and divert the attention of the eighth master, seeing that Oro Dai was about to move, intending to disturb the capital and drag the eighth master's party into the water, he simply went into battle shirtless again and entered Changchun Garden by himself.

Even if the emperor didn't wake up in time, the eighth master would never dare to act rashly, the fourteenth master was a great talent, the emperor was unconscious, and he still used the emperor to the extreme. ”

"It's just a whin." Yin Zhen said with a smile: "Let's take the topic away, Mr. Wu continued." ”

Wu Sidao took a sip of tea, groaned slightly, and then continued: "In this case, the Fourteenth Master went against the odds, not only did not escape from Beijing, but tried his best to stabilize the situation in the capital. It not only shows that he has a lot of ambition, but also enough to show it. The Fourteenth Master has no intention of rebellion. Only then did the emperor rest assured that he would be the prince, because of the current situation, only by establishing the fourteenth master could the situation of competing for the prince be avoided.

The fourth master might as well think about it carefully. In this case, the emperor still has to guard against the fourteenth master. We also have to investigate whether the fourteenth master has the heart of rebellion, what does this mean?

This shows that the emperor has always been deeply wary of the fourteenth master, and this time the fourteenth master was appointed as the prince. It's all about the fear of getting worse. Worried that he would not be able to govern normally, the princes took the opportunity to force the palace, worried that the situation would deteriorate to the point that he could not control it, and it can be said that he was completely forced by the situation and had to do it as a last resort. ”

After a short pause, Wu Sidao continued: "If the emperor can't recover, it's fine." However, many hemiplegia caused by stroke can be fully recovered. A year, two, three years later, the emperor is fully recovered, what will happen? Even after three years, the emperor is only three out of sixty. The Fourteenth Master itself is hugely powerful, and he has integrated the Eight Party Masters, what is the scene after he has been in charge of the country for several years?

At that time, the emperor will be in his prime, healthy, and a prince of the ages, how can he tolerate the fall of power? The fourteenth master is a wealthy man, and he has been in charge of the country for many years, and he is initially enjoying the taste of dominating the world, how can he easily hand over the rights in his hands? ..., between the two, there will inevitably be a fierce conflict around the imperial power, as far as the court battle is concerned, I really don't think about the fourteenth master, therefore, Sidao boldly asserted that the fourth master still has a chance to compete for the prince. ”

This is really not a picture cake to satisfy hunger, if Kangxi recovers well, the conflict between the two can be said to be inevitable, Yinzhen's heart is full of hope, there is still a chance, can't give up!

Early the next morning, before dawn, Yinzhen entered Changchun Garden, rushed to Qingxi Book House Kangxi's dormitory outside the kowtow to say goodbye, did not hear any movement inside, knowing that Kangxi was weak and should still be asleep.

He didn't dare to disturb, and he wanted to turn back to the gate lightly, but he didn't go far, Li Dequan hurriedly chased after him, and said urgently: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor has woken up, call in." ”

Kangxi woke up? Yinzhen was overjoyed in his heart, and walked quickly to Kangxi's dormitory, he specially arranged to hold an early dynasty in Changchun Garden, which was to call several princes and ministers, ministers of the upper study, and ministers of the ministry to meet Kangxi, so as not to suspect that the establishment of the crown prince and the supervision of the country were also a scam planned by him, after all, he had single-handedly planned to summon Hongchen into Changchun Garden and release rumors that Kangxi wanted to establish the emperor's grandson, which is related to the stability of the capital, be cautious, and be careful.

Although Kangxi woke up, he couldn't get up, so he could only lie half-lying, and let a group of eunuchs and palace maids change his clothes and wash him.

Kangxi's spirit was slightly better than yesterday, and he commanded softly: "Give a seat, serve tea." ”

Li Dequan personally moved a brocade pier, but Kangxi thought he was far away, stretched out his left hand to signal closer, Yinzhen thanked him, then sat down calmly, after serving tea, all the eunuchs and palace maids retreated with interest, and only a young palace maid stayed by Kangxi's side, Yinzhen couldn't help but glance at her in surprise, although she was young, she looked mediocre.

Kangxi said lightly: "It's a deaf and dumb person." ”

It turned out to be a deaf and mute person, no wonder Kangxi stayed by his side to serve the marquis, but he didn't know if he was recruited into the palace, or if he was in the palace, Yinzhen didn't bother to think about it, sighed slightly, and said: "Huang Ama, the sons and daughters don't have much experience in dealing with court affairs, and they haven't been independent in supervising the country before." ”

Hearing this, Kangxi couldn't help but smile and said, "Old Fourteen also has times when he is timid? After a slight pause, he said: "As a king, when dealing with government affairs, the first thing is to be selfless, the second is to have the overall situation in mind, and thirdly, we must strive to be pragmatic."

Specifically, it is necessary to be calm, calm, careful, and cautious in handling government affairs, and all government affairs are related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, and the most important thing must be handled very appropriately, otherwise, it will be difficult to achieve practical results. In the beginning, you had to talk less and listen more, be cautious, listen to both, listen to the opinions of different camps, be modest, and be able to listen to different opinions, even those that are contrary to you.

It is necessary to ponder more, the background, background, position, and interest relationship of the ministers need to be well understood, and the ministers, there are very few people who are selfless, and those who play have their own goals and interests, and they must be screened. ”

Speaking of this in one breath, Kangxi couldn't help pausing for a moment, and then continued: "I don't have enough energy, so I slowly teach you, now, as the prince, you must strengthen your learning, in order to increase your talents, encourage moral cultivation, and enrich the strategy of governing the country. ”

Speaking every day, Yinzhen listened to it and his head was incomparable, this emperor is really not good, but where did he dare to have a slight speech, he said very sincerely: "The ministers respectfully respect the holy oracle of the emperor Amma, and they must speak every day to increase their talents and knowledge, encourage their conduct, and enrich the strategy of governing the country." ”

Kangxi nodded slightly: "Your talents, vision, and knowledge are all extraordinary, don't be complacent and arrogant, and be humble and cautious." "...," the retainers must abide by the teachings of the emperor. After Yinzhen finished speaking, he continued: "Huang Ama was in a coma for seven days and nights, and many princes and ministers were worried. ”

After Kangxi woke up, he was clear about what Yinzhen had done in the past few days, and as soon as he heard this, he knew his intentions, and groaned slightly, he bowed his head slightly, and said, "See the two pulls." After a pause, he continued: "I originally wanted to personally preside over a grand canonization ceremony for you, but I don't know when I will be able to get out of bed and walk, and I have already announced you as the crown prince, if the canonization ceremony is pushed too late, it will be criticized, and the third day of the fourth month is the auspicious day of the zodiac, and the canonization ceremony is scheduled for the third day of the fourth month." ”

"Thank you for the grace of Emperor Amma." After Yinzhen thanked him, he was relieved: "Huang Ama, stroke hemiplegia should not only focus on treatment, but also on self-exercise, Huang Ama has a good physique, and he will be able to recover quickly if he is supported and walked every day." ”

Kangxi nodded and said, "It's rare that you have such filial piety, go and call them." ”

*

Outside the gate of Changchun Garden, at this time has gathered a lot of princes and nobles, civil and military ministers, these days, the situation in the capital can be described as three shocks a day, Kangxi suffered a stroke and fell into a coma, removed the governor of the nine gates, Hong Xi entered the Changchun Garden, rumors that Kangxi wanted to establish the emperor's grandson, the new nine gates of the admiral Oro Dai was assassinated, the whole city, Kangxi was sober, and the fourteenth elder brother was the prince.

Yinzhen, the prince of the prison country, held the first morning court in Changchun Garden today, and the three or more officials in the capital gathered together, this is the first early dynasty when Yinzhen was established as the prince, and if he dares to be absent, it is purely because the official hat is too big, and he has to get up when he is sick, besides, everyone wants to know clearly what Kangxi's condition is, which is very important.
