Chapter 257: Deafening
After thinking for a long time, Fang Bao's brows furrowed slightly, Yinzhen had been paying attention to his expression, seeing that his brows were slightly furrowed, he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that there was a problem with these three points?
Fang Bao had already opened his mouth and said: "Fourteenth master, the emperor is getting higher and higher, and the second abolition of the prince is a foregone conclusion, judging from the emperor's recent promotion and adjustment of the ministers of the court, it is expected to be the fourteenth master, the eighth master, the third master, and the fourth master, who the emperor wants, at the moment, no one can guess."
The three proposals of the fourteenth master are mainly aimed at consolidating the imperial power, if the emperor is interested in the fourteenth master, then it is naturally all happy, and the top and bottom are at ease, but if the emperor does not like the fourteenth master, or in other words, the emperor has not determined the candidate for the prince in his heart, so the navy in your hands is still too abrupt.
The emperor has been in power for more than 40 years, and has experienced countless large and small party disputes, and he is familiar with balancing the forces between friends, and he will definitely take the opportunity to suppress and reduce the wings and strength of the prince. ”
Pay for one's whistle? Yinzhen was slightly stunned in his heart, Fang Bao had something to say, and after a little hesitation, he shouted lightly: "Dachun, be alert." ”
When Da Chun in the aisle outside the door heard this, he immediately waved his hand and cleared the aisles and cabins on both sides of the cabin.
Yinzhen heard the footsteps go away, so he leaned down slightly, and said in a deep voice: "First of all, do you think that the emperor doesn't care about me at the moment?" ”
Fang Bao sighed lightly before nodding and said, "At least for now, the emperor doesn't care about you, the Fourteenth Master. In the past few years, the things that the Fourteenth Master has done are all beneficial to the country and the people, and the far-reaching impact is obvious to all Chinese, and the emperor has rewarded you continuously and vigorously supported the power of the Fourteenth Party.
But because of this, Fang Bao dared to conclude that the emperor did not belong to the fourteenth master before, the fourteenth master, think about it, why was the prince deposed? The emperor is so wise and powerful, and all the adult princes and elder brothers are all talented people, how can the emperor tolerate a person who has no virtue and no talent to stay on the crown prince for more than 30 years? What is the danger of adding to the sin? The most fundamental reason why the crown prince was deposed was that the prince's power was too great, which touched the safety of the imperial power.
In turn, look at you, the Fourteenth Master, in the past few years, you have run an agricultural college, collected the four constants, built a navy, innovated the customs and Fujian Zhaofu, the northern disaster relief, immigrated to Taiwan, lent money at low interest, promoted high-yield crops, built an ocean-going trade fleet, innovated industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes, meddled in the Jiangnan scientific research case, and tried the "Nanshan Collection" case to exterminate the Spanish fleet.
Fourteenth Master, have you ever noticed that your reputation among the army, scholars, gentry, peasants, and merchants is already in full swing, up and down the government and the opposition, north and south of the river, who doesn't know the name of the Fourteenth Prince now?
Although the emperor is getting higher in the spring and autumn, he is still a dragon body Kangtai, the fourteenth master is just a prince, but the prestige is already close to nine days, and he also holds the second largest party in the court - the fourteenth party emperor If the fourteenth party emperor appoints you as the prince, you can form a huge party force that the emperor cannot contain in an instant, and the previous princelings cannot be compared with you at all.
The emperor is a generation of heroes, although his mind is like the sea, and his spirit is magnificent, but how can he be a person who is willing to be subordinate? How could the emperor do such a big thing? ”
Fang Bao's words can be described as deafening, Yinzhen never expected that his prestige in the government and the opposition had reached such a level, and he was still unconsciously endangering Kangxi's imperial power, he had always tried his best to suppress the expansion of the Fourteenth Party, but he was afraid that the power would be too great, and he would follow in the footsteps of the prince, but he didn't expect that he still came to this point.
Although he clearly knows that Kangxi will not establish a prince now, Kangxi will never tolerate the prestige and strength of the 14th Party. Emperor's mind, emperor's mind, Yinzhen muttered in his heart.
Fang Bao took a sip of tea, and then said: "The fourteenth master is extraordinary, has excellent intelligence, and is a rare candidate for governing the army and the country, and it is also a dilemma for the emperor, to make you the prince, to threaten the imperial power, and not to make you the prince, not only is it a big loss for the country and the people, but also will bury the disaster of the wall, which is also what the emperor does not want to see."
Fang Bao thought that even if the crown prince was abolished, in the short term, the emperor would not establish a prince, but the emperor may not suppress the fourteenth master. ..., but after the abolition of the prince, the situation has changed, although the Eight Masters seem to be the most powerful, but for the emperor, it is just a castle in the air, and it can be easily disintegrated between the hands, however, for the Fourteenth Lord, the emperor will not take it lightly, although the officials of the Fourteenth Party are not as good as the Eight Masters Party, but the Fourteenth Master has the world's male soldiers in his hands, and he is even richer than the country, and his prestige in the government and the opposition is also in full swing, and there is really no reason not to suppress the Fourteenth Master.
In the current situation, the fourteenth master is also difficult to ride a tiger, once he is cut off his authority, or loses the emperor's favor, all the painstaking measures will be abandoned halfway and in vain. This is intolerable to the Fourteenth Master, therefore, fight! It is inevitable, not to fight with the princes, but with the emperor! It's just that competing with the emperor, the difficulty and proportion of this are really difficult to grasp to the extreme.
Fang Bao expected that for the emperor, the control of the navy by the fourteenth master was the first priority, and the three points that the fourteenth master said before were not enough for the emperor to dispel the idea of removing your navy military power, so how would the fourteenth master deal with it? ”
How to deal with it? If Kangxi is determined to remove him from the navy, what else can he do? Rebellion fails? Isn't that looking for death? It is impossible to resist the decree, but what about the yang and the yin? The navy is not as good as the army, thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Fang Bao, and seeing that he looked like an old god was there, he not only smiled slightly: "I have ordered Liu Zhisheng and Lin Wei to lead most of the navy south, if you don't come back for three or five years, or if there is no news, I don't know what the emperor will think?" ”
"Wonderful!" Fang Bao laughed and said: "With the emperor's shrewdness, how can he do a useless move, but the navy is not rootless, this logistics supply, the fourteenth master still has a foolproof strategy." ”
"It's easy to do, Fengshan and Manila are good places." Yinzhen blurted out.
Fang Bao groaned: "It's better to be in Manila, one is beyond the reach of the imperial court, and the other is convenient for the navy to control the South Seas." ”
"Well, Manila." Yinzhen said with a smile: "In this way, it is also possible to stop Spain from regaining the heart of Manila." "Min
