Chapter 462: Back to the Light

Hearing Yinxiang mention the calamity of Xiao Wall, Yinzhen nodded, restrained his smile, and said: "The thirteenth brother is very worried, the current situation is not easy to come by, and it is indeed time to take precautions." As he spoke, he paused slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "There are only the third brother, the fourth brother, and the starling who have the heart and ability to compete for the reserve, not to mention the third brother and the starling brother, the fourth brother likes to play yin, and it is indeed necessary to take strict precautions." ”

Strictly guard against the fourth brother? Yinxiang was slightly stunned before he groaned: "The fourth brother's men and horses should have gone south, even if he has a heart, there is no one to use." ”

"Not really." Fang Bao took over and said: "The time for the expedition to Europe is set for September, and the fourth master's men and horses should not all have gone south, besides, the fourth master has been going north and south during this time, how can no one around him secretly take care of him?" ”

"What Mr. Fang said is very true." Yinzhen continued: "We don't know how much strength the fourth brother's 'sticky pole' is, we can't be careless about this matter, if Huang Ama really has something unspeakable, there will be chaos in the capital, if it is taken advantage of by the fourth brother, it will cause even greater chaos, and at that time, I am afraid that it will really cause trouble to Xiao Wall." ”

Seeing the two singing and harmonizing, Yinxiang couldn't help but laugh at his worries, and immediately smiled: "I don't want to see the disaster Xiao Wall, the fourteenth brother seems to be confident, he has already planned, what do you need me to do, even if I am told, I will do it." ”

"Brother Thirteen is refreshing." Yinzhen said with a smile: "Two things, one is to bring a message to the fourth brother and let him settle down, otherwise, I don't mind the new account and the old account together, and the other is to prevent the fourth brother from using the pigeon letter to mobilize manpower." ”

Although the news of Kangxi's stroke has spread, it is only limited to the princes and ministers, the people of the capital still have no idea, the longevity celebration is still going on as usual, the thirty-mile royal street is still noisy, the crowd is bustling, and the provincial opera troupes are tirelessly staging various local dramas, and the audience is still like a cloud, and the people are fascinated by watching it, and they forget to return.

The elders, gentry, and businessmen from other provinces who are about to leave the capital seize the time to buy all kinds of special products to return to their hometowns to give gifts to relatives and friends.

The eighth elder brother Yinxi is very busy at this time, the elders from other provinces leave Beijing, and they want to give silver two ceremonies according to the distance of the road, which is not a small expense, in order to prevent the slippery officials below from embezzling the silver with their hands, affecting the perfection of the longevity celebration, he is telling the officials in charge of this matter in the Ministry of Rites.

Kankan sent a few officials away, Yinyu was about to take a break, but he caught a glimpse of the ninth elder brother Yinyu, and the ten elder brother Yinyu hurried over, originally he wanted to tease a few words, seeing that the two of them looked anxious, he swallowed his words, but he was puzzled in his heart, now it is the period of Wanshou Festival, what can be worth the two of them so nervous?

As soon as he entered the door, he was still polite, and the old ten yin said: "Starling, I just got the news, Huang Ama had a stroke in the middle of the night last night and was unconscious, and he has not woken up until now. ”

Yin Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Is the news true?" ”

"Absolutely." Yin Yu said affirmatively.

Kangxi had a stroke and was unconscious! This is a big change, if Kangxi doesn't wake up, what will happen? Yin Yu frowned and thought nervously, and after a long silence, he stood up and said in a deep voice: "This matter can be big or small, go, go to the fourteenth brother." ”

As soon as he heard that he went to Lao Fourteen, Yin Yu was slightly surprised, and hesitated: "Starling, don't think about it?" ”

Yinxi stopped and glanced at the two of them, and then said: "Huang Ama's situation is not clear now, and it is possible to be sober, at this time, we can't be outside the old fourteen, if Huang Ama really has something unexpected, we have a chance to fight, naturally we have to fight hard, but we can't turn their faces with the old fourteen, the commander of the infantry army Yamen and the navy can be pinched in the hands of the old fourteen, and the old fourteen can't have any chance." ..., you can get the news, the fourteenth brother should also have received the news, go, go to the fourteenth brother first, and see what the fourteenth brother's charter is? ”

"Starling's words are reasonable." Lao Shi nodded and said: "It is not good for us to turn against the fourteenth brother, but it is cheap for the third and fourth brothers." ”

The east end of Xiguan Garden, Prince Cheng's Mansion.

In the study, the third elder brother Yinzhi and Chen Menglei sat opposite each other, in the Tianjin Change, Yinzhi escaped by luck, heard that Kangxi had a stroke, unconscious, he was moved again, and immediately summoned the most trusted Chen Menglei to discuss.

The two sat for a long time before Chen Menglei spoke: "Third master, although the emperor has not officially established a prince, but the emperor is interested in the fourteenth master, but it is well known, although the fourteenth master does not have the name of the prince, but he has the fact of the prince, not only the strength is strong, the prestige is high, and no one can compare with it, and the more worrying person is the support of the royal family and the minister of civil and military affairs.

Without the Fourteenth Master, overseas feudalism, Luzon's slave estates, Australian immigration, and ocean trade were all in vain, which not only the imperial court could not bear, but also all the royal clansmen, civil and military ministers.

If the emperor really has an accident, in the case of the empty storage position, there must be a dragon and tiger fight between the princes, no accident, the final winner must be the fourteenth master, this battle, if the third master wants to benefit, he can only support the fourteenth master, the most unfortunate, but also stay out of the matter. ”

Yinzhi didn't expect that after thinking about it for a long time, Chen Menglei actually came up with these words, he couldn't help but feel disappointed, and after a while, he said unwillingly: "The advantage of the old fourteen, in the final analysis, is the navy, the navy is the economic division of the imperial court, whoever is in power, who can control the navy, overseas division, Australian immigration, etc., can still be implemented?" ”

"Third Master, although this is the case, it is actually not as simple as the third master thinks." Chen Menglei said patiently: "The fourteenth master of the navy department was created by the fourteenth master, and all the generals were also promoted by the fourteenth master, not to mention, what is the strength of the navy maintained?" It's silver!

A few years ago, the Fourteenth Master asked the navy to be handed over to the imperial court, why didn't the emperor take the opportunity to return the navy to the imperial court? Is the emperor not wanting to? No, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't, the emperor knows very well that the imperial court can't afford to support a huge navy. As long as the navy is in the hands of the Fourteenth Master for one day, no one will be able to compete with it! The third master should not have any illusions. ”

Yinzhi is quite disapproving, the navy has now begun to take shape, there is no need to build warships on a large scale, as long as it can control the navy, it can ensure the stable development and immigration of Nanyang and Australia, and overseas feudalization is not a problem, is the court still worried about not being able to guarantee the daily expenses of the navy?

As for the construction of the navy and the speed of Australian immigration, it is a big deal to slow down, it will not affect the overall situation, besides, except for the old fourteenth, will the Qing Dynasty not be able to find a person who can make money?

Prince's Palace.

The fifteenth and sixteenth brothers also hurried over after hearing the news of Kangxi's stroke, Yinzhen Wenyan comforted the two, and was about to send the two back, when they heard that the eighth elder brother Yinyu, the ninth elder brother Yinyu, and the tenth elder brother Yinqi had arrived.

Groaning slightly, Yinzhen got up and went out, the three starlings arrived at the end, obviously they met and discussed, no wonder, although the starlings came over, but the Baye Party has not yet been disbanded, in the past half a year, although the number of the Baye Party is smaller, but the backbone is still there, in the event of such a big change, it is too unrealistic to ask the Starlings to have no ideas, but they have to think of breaking up the Baymaster Party, otherwise it is easy to form a big tail.

On the second door, the eight elder brother Yinyu and the three of them greeted each other with a courtesy, and everyone was patient and never mentioned Kangxi's stroke, returned to the study, sat down as the guest, and Lao Jiuyinyu said: "I heard that Huang Ama had a stroke last night and is still unconscious, has the fourteenth brother ever heard of this news?" ”…,

Yinzhen nodded and said: "I just heard about this news, and I have already sent someone to investigate, I don't know if it is true." ”

Yin Yu glanced at the old fourteenth, and he didn't know whether the old fourteenth was well-informed in the capital, and he groaned slightly, and then he said: "This news is absolutely true, Li Guangdi and Wenda have now rushed to Changchun Garden." ”

Yinzhen groaned slightly, and said, "What does the starling think about this matter?" ”

Seeing Yinzhen asking rhetorically, Yinzhen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Since I just notified Li Guangdi and Wenda to rush to Changchun Garden, I think Huang Ama's condition is not too serious, otherwise, it is time to notify all the ministers of the study to discuss." ”

"Starling sees it thoroughly." Yinzhen nodded and said: "However, Huang Ama did not have an ordinary stroke, but a stroke caused by drunkenness, and then fell into a coma, and the coma has been long enough, it can be seen that the imperial doctors are also helpless, to put it mildly, in case Huang Ama has something that he can't bear to say, how does the starling think to deal with this situation?" ”

Old Fourteen is forcing him to make a statement! Yinyu's heart tightened, a little caught off guard, and he didn't know how to deal with it, Lao Jiu Yinyu hurriedly said: "The fourteenth brother is too worried, Huang Ama has always been healthy, and there are many imperial doctors by his side, this possibility is very small. ”

"All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted." Yinzhen said without giving in: "Now that all the brothers are gathered in the capital, if something happens, people will definitely be panicked, and they will make plans as soon as possible, and they will not be in a hurry at that time." ”

Seeing that the old fourteenth brother was aggressive, the old ten Yinqi couldn't bear to go around in circles, so he said directly: "What is the charter of the fourteenth brother, let's listen to it." ”

Yinzhen smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "The tenth brother has a broad temperament and is a cheerful person, so you don't have to be embarrassed by the starling brother." After a pause, he continued: "If this situation really occurs, starling, you can let it go." ”

Let it go! The room full of people stared at Yinzhen in surprise, what does this mean? Test? Or is it to retreat and advance and force Yinxi to express his position? Even Fang Bao looked at Yinzhen with a puzzled face, which one is this singing by the Fourteenth Master? Why didn't you reveal a little bit of wind beforehand?

After being quiet for a long time, Yin Yu said slowly in an unusually steady tone: "The fourteenth brother is worried that the eighth brother still can't let go. ”

"Starling, slow." Yinzhen stretched out his hand to interrupt his words, glanced at a few people, and then said: "Now that the storage seat is vacant, if the emperor Ama really has an accident, the battle for the throne is inevitable." The starling, the ninth brother, and the tenth brother, as the best of the princes, coveted the throne, which is a matter of course, and there is no denying it. ”

The old eight-three people couldn't help but look at each other, the old fourteen didn't seem to be saying the opposite, what did he mean? Really encourage us to let go? What's in it for Old Fourteen? Or is he taking advantage of us? Lao Fourteen is not a good man and a woman, and his means of acting can be described as full of tricks, they don't dare to blindly think about the good.

Fang Bao was also puzzled, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Fourteenth Master? The Eighth Master and his party took a lot of effort to win them over, so why are they pushed out now?

The fifteenth and sixteenth brothers also frowned and pondered Yinzhen's intentions, but they would follow this boss closely in the future, and it would be of great benefit to be able to figure out his intentions in the future.

Yinzhen paused slightly, and then continued: "Starling is determined to fight for the throne, at least ten years, has been repeatedly suppressed, this time there is a chance, I hope Starling can let go of Yibo, otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life, just take it as a wish, after this hard work, even if you fail, you will be at ease, after all, you have worked hard."

For you starlings, Fourteen has always been very respectful, and in order to fulfill your wish, I don't mind letting the third brother and the fourth brother be a foil or stepping stone. ”…,

Hearing this, Fang Bao couldn't help but secretly praise, wonderful, this method is wonderful! If Kangxi is unharmed, the fourteenth master's temperament and open-mindedness are enough to make the eighth master and their hearts broken, if Kangxi really has an accident, let the eighth master and them come forward to fight, not only can distract attention, but also after ascending the throne and the imperial pole, they can justifiably integrate or suppress the eighth master and the party, and even better, after this game, the eight masters and their people will also be willing to admit defeat and die for the courtiers.

The last point is the fourteenth master's means of entrapment, Kangxi really has an accident, the eighth master and they will definitely be Bo Yibo, he did this, completely avoiding the possibility of turning against the eighth master and the party again.

Yinzhen was shocked by Yinzhen's self-confidence, the meaning of the old fourteenth is very clear, even if he joins forces with the third and fourth, the old fourteen has full confidence to defeat them, think about it carefully, the old fourteen is not arrogant, today's eight masters and the fourteenth party are not at the same level at all, almost all the royal clans, noble ministers have common interests with the old fourteen, whether it is civil or military, it is impossible to fight for the old fourteen.

Yin Yu was also hit hard by these words, he is good at collecting money, and he understands the thoughts of the royal family and the noble ministers more clearly than the old eight, don't look at the eight masters of the party now, there are a lot of clan relatives, if it is really the final showdown, most people will fall to the old fourteen, after all, the old fourteen can bring them a steady stream of wealth, which the starling can't do at all.

After pondering for a long time, Yin Yu smiled bitterly and said: "The fourteenth brother is broad-minded and magnificent, which really makes the starling brother's heart break. After a slight pause, he continued: "As the so-called time, momentum, and luck, the starling brother has missed the best opportunity, and now, don't fight." ”

Seeing that Yinxi made it clear that he would not fight, Fang Bao couldn't help but feel slightly regretful, in this way, if the fourteenth master wants to solve the eighth master party, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort, the eighth master is still not fighting, then the third master and the fourth master will still dare to fight?

Yinyu's clear statement made Yinyu breathe a sigh of relief, he was the most reluctant to fight with the old fourteenth, the same as anyone, why bother to toss more, and Yinyu was a little disappointed, the starling was in front of the old fourteenth, the fifteenth, and the sixteenth this time to make a clear statement, with the temperament of the starling, there is no possibility of backsliding, it can be said that he is completely dead.

Yinzhen smiled slightly: "Why should the starling be short of breath, if the situation allows, it is better to fight, and it is beneficial to fight appropriately." ”

Old Fourteen really has another purpose, he wants to take this opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole? Who is this serpent? The fourth child has already been sent to Europe, that is, for the third child. What else? Take this opportunity to purge dissidents? Could it be that he wants to do something to his own Eight Masters? Isn't that what I want to cut my own wings? When Yin Yu boarded, he felt that his back was cold, and the old fourteen's abacus was very fine.

Changchun Garden, the side hall of Qingxi Book House.

It was already afternoon when Li Guangdi and Wen Da arrived at Changchun Garden, and the two went to Qingxi Book House to visit Kangxi, Kangxi was still unconscious, and what reassured the two was that Kangxi's pulse had been very stable.

After transferring to the side hall, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, the court judge and several imperial doctors made reports respectively, and the conclusions were very vague, neither sure when Kangxi would be sober, nor dare to say whether there was any danger, but only dared to ensure that there was no worry about his life in front of him.

Li Guangdi and Wenda are also old and weak, and they have been dealing with the hospital for a long time, and they also know that it is difficult to be a doctor, and they are worried about listening to these vague reports, they know too much about the style of the hospital, and the more vague they say, the more serious the condition, and the ambiguity is actually a sign of uncertainty.

Although Wenda is a man of Manchuria with the Yellow Flag, he is mainly responsible for compiling the history of the country, political training, and serving as the president of the pacification of the Shuo Desert Strategy, the unification of the Qing Dynasty, and the compilation of the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing this situation, Li Guangdi could only pick up the burden of a thousand catties, and after the imperial doctors retreated, he glanced at the five ministers of the guards present, and then said: "The emperor's pulse is stable, there is no major problem for the time being, and the longevity celebration has not yet ended, and it is reasonable to block the news, but the safety of the emperor's dragon body is fundamentally related to the world, and it is not something that a few people such as me can bear, tomorrow morning, if the emperor is still not awake, he must notify all the ministers of the study." ”

As soon as the words fell, a little eunuch rushed in with surprise on his face, and he didn't care about saluting, so he hurriedly said: "The emperor is awake, call all the adults to see him." ”

Kangxi is sober! The ministers immediately got up and sorted out the court clothes, and then rushed into the Qingxi Book House in turn, and came to the imperial couch, seeing that Kangxi had really opened his eyes, and his eyes were clear, everyone immediately knelt down silently, and was about to kowtow, but the imperial doctor on the side waved his hand anxiously, and motioned for everyone to step forward.

Seeing this situation, everyone's hearts were tight, could it be that it was a return to the light?
