Chapter 554: Self-preservation
Yinzhen paced all the way back to the East Side Palace, and when he arrived at the door, he saw the old thirteen Yinxiang and Nian Qianyao hurrying over, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why did the old thirteen come? Could it be that there is a change in the capital? There shouldn't be anyone in the capital to make trouble now? Doubtful in his heart, he stopped and waited quietly for the two of them. Hair
Seeing Yinzhen stop, Yinxiang and Nian Qianyao hurriedly sped up their pace, hurriedly took a few steps to catch up with the salute, and when the two got up, Yinzhen looked at Yinxiang and saw that there was no anxiety, so he nodded and said, "Let's go into the house and say." So saying, he walked first, and when he arrived at the door, he instructed the eunuch standing at the door, "Send two copies and come early." ”
Yinxiang and Nian Qianyao both knew that Yinzhen was called for the two of them, and they were slightly grateful, and after entering the house and sitting down, Yinzhen stretched out his hand and said, "Sit, don't be formal." ”
Yinxiang sat down directly, but Nian Qianyao knelt down and kowtowed and said: "The slave Nian Qianyao thanked the crown prince for his kindness, and he couldn't repay it, and he was willing to serve the crown prince for his dogs and horses." ”
Yinzhen nodded slightly, Nian Qianyao is the fourth child's servant, and has a good relationship with the old thirteen, I think it is the old thirteen who intends to promote him, deliberately bring him over to show loyalty, the old thirteen's face has to be given, this year Qianyao himself is also a talent, and it is also a sharp blade if used well, the fourth child went to Europe, it is no longer a concern, and there is no need to worry about using Nian Qianyao.
With a slight groan, he glanced at Yinxiang and said, "Did the thirteenth brother go to ask for peace to Huang Ama?" ”
How could Yinxiang lose his manners, and nodded hurriedly: "Back to the crown prince, the ministers first went to kowtow outside the palace of Huang Ama before coming over, can Huang Ama's condition be stabilized?" ”
"It's stabilized, and it's okay for the time being." Yinzhen said, and looked at Nian Qianyao again. After a little hesitation, he said: "The emperor has repeatedly overpromoted you, you go to the emperor's bedroom to kneel at the door for half an hour and pray for the emperor." ”
Hearing this, Nian Qianyao didn't dare to hesitate. Hurriedly bowed down and said, "The slave respects his life." With that, he got up and took his leave.
Yinxiang was a little puzzled, he didn't know what Yinzhen's intention was, so he couldn't help but glance at Nian Qianyao's back, and then looked at Yinzhen. But he couldn't help but ask.
Yinzhen smiled slightly and said: "Nian Qianyao still has talents, but after few setbacks, he is a little arrogant and self-serving, and the emperor treats him well." Go and kneel, it's good for him. ”
The thirteenth old man has already understood that Nian Qianyao changed the court, and the old fourteenth doubted his loyalty and character, which was so tormenting him. The explanation is still ready to be of great use, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "The crown prince has the skill to control people, and Nian Qianyao has been promoted too quickly in recent years, and he is indeed a little frivolous." ”
"It's a good piece of material, but you have to think about it." Yinzhen said that he had changed the subject, "Brother Thirteen came early in the morning. But worried about Huang Ama's condition? ”
Yinxiang nodded and said, "If you don't come to kowtow to Huang Ama and say goodbye, your heart will not be solid." Now that he knows that he is safe, Thirteen will be at ease. ”
"Brother Jiu is still in the capital?" Yinzhen asked a little strangely.
"Halfway through, he came in a pannier." Yinxiang said a little embarrassedly: "I was in a hurry, and I came all the way." ”
Yinzhen nodded slightly, and then said: "Huang Ama's condition is still not stable, and he may have to be in a coma for a while." ”
Yinxiang nodded. "This is to be expected. As he spoke, he asked, "Since Huang Ama is okay now. How to deal with this Orodai? ”
Yinzhen asked rhetorically: "What does the thirteenth brother think?" ”
Yinxiang didn't squirm, and said in a deep voice: "Since he has taken away his military power, there is no reason to return it, but Thirteen is a little worried that if Huang Ama investigates this matter, how to deal with it?" How should the Oro Dai be placed? ”
The old thirteen said well, since he has already seized the military power of the infantry battalion, and then return it, it will become a joke, after a moment of silence, Yinzhen said: "Brother Thirteen is right, it is impossible to return, the commander of the infantry army must be under our control, otherwise many things are controlled by others, and the palace is also domineering once, so it is ordered to let Long Keduo take over the post of commander of Jiumen." …,
Huang Ama will see you again at that time, and as for Oro Dai, you still have to give the starlings some affection and let him continue to be the minister of the guard. ”
The thirteenth couldn't help but secretly praise, Oro Dai had a holiday with the old fourteenth, he was the minister of the guard, Kangxi was absolutely assured, such an arrangement was enough to show everyone that the crown prince had no intention of usurping the throne, and it also showed the prince's extraordinary mind and bearing, and the starlings were also good-looking, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop.
Da Chun reported at the door at this time: "Master, the tenth master is asking to see you outside." ”
"Just in time, invite him in." Yinzhen commanded casually.
After Yinzhen came in to greet him and sit down, Yinzhen said: "The formation of the new Praetorian Guard cannot be delayed, and the tenth and thirteenth brothers should deal with this matter as soon as possible." ”
Yin Qi asked: "What is the elimination rate of the new Praetorian Guard?" Please also ask the crown prince to show it. ”
"Knock out half." Yinzhen groaned: "We must pick the best of the best, this group of people will be the backbone of the new Praetorian Guard in the future, and they can't be sloppy." After a slight pause, he asked, "How many naval non-commissioned officers are there who escorted the Japanese reparations gold into Beijing?" ”
"Five hundred." Yin Xiang said quickly.
Yinzhen nodded and said, "Eliminate half, the new Praetorian Guard will recruit 10,000 people, and 500 people will be enough to serve as instructors." ”
Hearing this, Yinxiang couldn't help but be faintly worried, the old fourteenth Praetorian Guard recruited 10,000 people in the new army, just to eliminate them? Or is there another purpose? He hurriedly said tentatively: "These five hundred people have been used as instructors, and the strength of the thirteen pirates is overstretched. ”
Hearing this, Yinzhen stared at Yinxiang for a long time before saying, "Brother Thirteen wants to get out of the matter?" ”
Yinxiang was shocked, could the old fourteen really recruit soldiers and horses to fight against Kangxi? He really doesn't want to wade into this water, his reputation is still secondary, he really has no confidence, he has a deep understanding of Kangxi's methods, and after a slight hesitation, he pretended to be confused and said: "The force to suppress pirates is small, and if five hundred people are transferred, thirty percent of the warships will not be able to go to sea." ”
Yinzhen smiled slightly, and then said: "The thirteenth brother has also suffered from crane knee wind, and he has a deep understanding of patients, I don't want to follow in the footsteps of the second brother, it's just self-preservation." ”
These words were confused, and when he heard the last sentence, he finally understood, and he quickly said: "You must protect yourself, if Huang Ama is confused in his illness and makes a foolish move, the world must be in chaos, I support the fourteenth brother." ”
Listening to this, Yinxiang couldn't help but feel embarrassed, Lao Shi usually looks confused, but in this matter, he has seen it thoroughly, Kangxi had a stroke, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not do foolish things, and people are sick, especially when they are incapacitated, it is inevitable that they will have a short temper, which he deeply understands.
