The Prince's Mansion, the study.

Yinxiang, Yinlu, and Yinlu have already said goodbye and returned home, but Fang Bao still has no intention of leaving, Wuzi poured a cup of tea and sipped slowly, as if concentrating on tasting the aftertaste of tea, Yinzhen glanced at him, knowing that he had something to say, and did not make a sound, poured himself a cup of tea, and waited for him to speak.

Seeing Yinzhen put on this posture, Fang Bao groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "This 'Iron Arhat' is really worthy of its reputation, it has been brewed seven or eight times, and there is still a lingering fragrance, Wuyi Rock Tea, it is really extraordinary, Li Zhongtang is a native of Anxi, Fujian, could this tea be sent by Li Zhongtang?" ”

Hearing this, Yinzhen couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Mr. Fang doesn't need to go around in circles, just say something directly." ”

Seeing this situation, Fang Bao was a little more sure in his heart, and immediately said with a smile: "Hongchen entered Changchun Garden, but the Fourteenth Master and Li Zhongtang planned it single-handedly?" ”

"Why did Mr. Fang say this?" Yinzhen still had a faint smile on his face.

Fang Bao directly praised: "The fourteenth master is a good method, these days, the students have been pondering, how to make the eighth master stand still, but the hard thinking is fruitless, I didn't expect that the fourteenth master was ingenious, and he jumped out of the circle of the prince competing for the prince, this strategy of establishing the emperor and the grandson is really wonderful." ”

Seeing that Fang Bao was broken, Yinzhen did not deny it, smiled slightly, and said: "This matter is not to be deliberately hidden from you, but I hope that after the launch, I will use your power to find the flaws in order to fill the gaps, how did Mr. find out, can there be any omissions in this plan?" ”

Seeing Yinzhen calmly admit that he planned the establishment of the emperor's grandson, Fang Bao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after hearing the news that Kangxi wanted to establish the emperor's grandson, he had been nervous, and the reason made up by the fourteenth master for Kangxi's emperor's grandson was too real, so people had to believe it.

Relax a little. Fang Baocai said: "This plan is meticulous and unexpected. And legally. It is more implicitly convincing, and so far, there is no obvious omission. The students are only speculating. ”

Hearing that Fang Bao was just guessing, Yinzhen put his mind at ease. Yinghongchen entered Changchun Garden and released the news that Kangxi wanted to establish Hongchen as the prince, which was indeed directed by him and Li Guangdi. The stakes are too high. Therefore, he didn't even reveal the slightest thing about Fang Bao, Lao Thirteen and others, and he accompanied them for a day today, but he didn't want to, but Fang Bao guessed the truth.

After a slight groan, Fang Bao said again: "When the fake is true." True and false, the reason for establishing the emperor's grandson is so real. Isn't the Fourteenth Master worried about being cocooned and self-bound? ”

Hoisted by his own petard? Yinzhen couldn't help but smile slightly, others don't know, but he knows very well, Kangxi won't pay attention to the primogeniture inheritance system, and he doesn't admit death like Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Kangxi likes to be a secret prince, and what he likes is Lixian! Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there has been no eldest son or grandson who can rule the world, and Kangxi Liyinren, the eldest son, has been abolished twice, which has made him completely dead.

The prototype of the secret reserve system of the Qing Dynasty was made up in the hands of Kangxi, and Yinzhen was not worried about it at all, and because of this, he spared no effort to fabricate and spread the reasons for the emperor's grandson, Fang Bao can have this worry, which shows that these reasons have a very strong persuasive power, however, these things, he doesn't want to say to Fang Bao for the time being, as a superior, it is necessary to let his subordinates have a little unfathomable feeling.

After a slight sigh, Yinzhen said with a smile: "Things have priorities, in the current situation, stabilizing the overall situation is the first priority, as for the emperor's grandson, if the emperor really has this idea in the future, I can also dispel the emperor's thoughts." ”

*

On the morning of the next day, rumors suddenly spread from various teahouses in the inner city of Beijing, the so-called summoning Hongchen into Changchun Garden, and the rumors that Kangxi wanted to establish Hongchen as the emperor's grandson, were all farces specially planned by the fourteenth elder brother in order to stabilize the situation in the capital and gain time, so as to mobilize the naval fleet to go north to Beijing to compete for the reserve. …,

Accompanied by a variety of detailed analyses, including the reasons for Changchun Garden's strong cooperation, the situation of the fourteenth elder brother, the current advantages of the eighth elder brother, and even the reason why Kangxi could not establish the emperor's grandson. These analyses were very thorough and convincing, so in less than half a day, this rumor spread all over the inner city of Jingshi.

As a result, whether Kangxi could establish the emperor's grandson once again caused a huge controversy, and whether Hongxi's entry into Changchun Garden was planned by the fourteenth elder brother also caused a fierce debate.

The business of large and small tea shops and restaurants in the capital became popular, and when you walked into a tea shop restaurant, you could hear all kinds of arguments, but Kangxi's illness no one cared about it anymore.

When the news reached the Emperor's Mansion, Fang Bao couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, he only knew the truth last night, this morning, there were rumors in the capital, this is too much of a coincidence, this matter is very important, he didn't dare to leak it at all, where did these rumors come from? Thinking of this, he hurried to Yinzhen's study.

Hearing the rumors, Yinzhen was also having a headache, and when he saw Fang Bao coming in a hurry, he smiled and said, "Mr. Fang came just in time." As he spoke, he stood up and stretched out his hand to give up his seat, and then, he paced slowly, and said: "This rumor spreads so fast, someone must be fueling the troubles later, if the expectation is good, the person behind it must be the fourth brother, and the person who peeks into the truth should be Wu Sidao, how to deal with the current situation?" ”

Seeing that Yinzhen had no doubts about his heart, Fang Bao couldn't help but secretly sigh at the bearing of the Fourteenth Master, no need to suspect people, no suspicion of employing people, easy to say, difficult to do, such a coincidence, the Fourteenth Master did not doubt him at all, which showed his trust in himself, and groaned slightly, before he spoke: "The plan of the Fourteenth Master can be described as seamless, without any flaws at all."

At present, there is no conclusive evidence for the rumors in the capital, and what the rumors refer to is nothing more than the ability and reason of the fourteenth master to plan this matter, and now the debate is fierce, and the eighth master should also be indecided, and it is difficult to make up his mind. ”

Yinzhen frowned and said, "Although the plan is meticulous, how can there be no omissions?" Some details still can't stand repeated scrutiny and scrutiny, I thought it could drag on for ten days and a half months, but I didn't expect that the other party just based on inference, spread rumors to disturb people's hearts, for starlings, this is a rare opportunity to compete for reserves, and it may be the last chance, I am afraid that they will take risks. ”

At this time, the guard outside the door whispered: "Master, the thirteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth masters are here." ”

"Let them come in directly." Yinzhen commanded casually.

As soon as Yinxiang, Yinlu, and Yinlu came in, before they could greet each other, Yinxiang hurriedly asked, "Fourteenth brother, are the rumors outside true?" ”

"What do you think of Brother Thirteen?" Yinzhen asked rhetorically, saying that a slight bow to the three of them was a courtesy.

Yinxiang blurted out: "Along the way, I have been pondering this matter, just from the point of being unexpected, it is quite similar to the style of the fourteenth brother." ”

Yinzhen nodded slightly, turned around and sat back, the old thirteen can see this, starling they will naturally be suspicious because of this, now this situation is a little difficult to control, rumors together, there must be curious people, people with a heart to investigate and secretly visit, even if Changchun Garden is deliberately vigilant, the truth of the matter can not be covered for a few days.

If Kangxi has no movement in the next three or five days, the starlings will inevitably take risks and openly compete for the crown, and if the matter of the emperor's grandson is found to be clueless, it is likely to be self-defeating and stimulate the starlings to attack early.

Seeing that Yinzhen was silent, Yinxiang couldn't help but glance at Fang Bao, how dare Fang Bao talk more, smiled slightly, and hurriedly lowered his head to drink tea, seeing this situation, Yinxiang had faintly guessed the result, and couldn't help but show a faint smile on his face. After pondering for a moment, Yinzhen glanced at the three of them, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is indeed planned by me, I originally hoped that you and Mr. Fang would be able to detect the omission of this plan so that they could make up for it in time, but I didn't expect to be taken by the fourth brother first." ”

As soon as I heard that it was really planned by Yinzhen, the three of Yinxiang were all happy, since there is no possibility of establishing the emperor's grandson, it means that Kangxi is not sober now, to be honest, if Kangxi is determined to establish the emperor's grandson, the old fourteen has no other way than to go to Nanyang or Australia, and whether they can go out of Beijing is not necessarily, Kangxi is powerful, they have all been taught.

Since it is not against Kangxi, Yinxiang and the three of them naturally feel a lot easier, the princes compete for the prince, Yinzhen's chance of winning can be described as the greatest, in terms of reputation, he was rewarded by Kangxi with thirteen crown East Pearls, in addition to Kangxi, Yinzhen's identity is the most respectful, as for the strength not to mention, it can be described as a monopoly on the head, although it is currently in the capital, the situation is unfavorable, but as long as you withdraw from the capital, you can be unfavorable.

At this time, Fang Bao continued the previous words and said: "Fourteenth Master, Eighth Master has a calm temperament, he is not a presumptuous person, and he should not take risks before he gets accurate news." Besides, there are many nobles in the Eight Masters Party, and not everyone is in favor of taking risks, and now the situation is unclear, if the Eight Masters want to take risks, they must convene everyone to discuss so that the upper and lower levels can work together, otherwise, it is very likely to lead to civil strife.

Therefore, as long as you pay close attention to the movements of the clan, you can gain insight into the actions of the eighth master, and if you can't do anything, you can only go out of Beijing first. ”

As soon as he heard this, Yinxiang knew that the two were discussing how to deal with the current situation, and he was also thinking about this issue along the way, so he interjected at the moment: "The starling's temperament is indeed steady, lacking the spirit of adventure, but the Governor of the Nine Gates, Oro Dai, is arrogant and arrogant, arrogant, and accustomed to doing his own thing, will he attack first, and then drag the entire Eight Party into the water?" ”

Yinzhen nodded, Lao Thirteen's worries are not unreasonable, Oro Dai really can't be treated with common sense, if he is in a hurry to humiliate him, he is very likely to act without authorization, this has to be guarded against, and he must also prevent him from being bought by the fourth child.
