Chapter 328: Splitting the Soil
Chapter 328: Splitting the Soil
After listening to Wu Sidao's long talk, Yin Zhen couldn't help but calm down, contemplating and thinking, the old fourteenth move is to pave the way for the prince, this is for sure, but it may not be carried away, the current situation, the prince is completely out, but the third and eighth may not be the same, the examples of salted fish turning over are too many to mention, the prince is not the best example, once the wind and clouds meet, it will inevitably make waves.
The third child will indeed be implicated this time, but with Kangxi's favor for the third child, most of the matter will not be resolved, when the prince is abolished, the third child is not also ready to move, the doorman Meng Guangzu went to various places to privately connect with the local governor, after Kangxi heard about it, but he did everything possible to cover up, and he didn't even reprimand him, but personally came forward to find someone to exonerate the third child, this love, but it was the only one among the brothers.
Let's talk about the eighth child, even if Kangxi has no intention of making him the prince, he will not give up easily, this mother concubine is from a humble background, and her brother who has been despised and despised since she was a child, her desire for power, her desire for the throne is better than that of a group of brothers.
Let's just talk about himself, Kangxi's comment on him is 'moody', what kind of good words is this, at least it can show that Kangxi has no good impression of him, but he has also worked hard for more than ten years and has never given up?
Even the old fourteenth, isn't it the same, when the hundred officials pushed the prince, didn't Kangxi draw a knife and want to kill the old fourteenth? At that time, who would have thought that Lao Fourteen would be where he is today? If Kangxi really likes it, for so many years, he is the third child, and he has always been favored and cared for.
The old fourteenth took advantage of the great victory to integrate the old eighty-one party, it can be said that it is not only out of need, but also out of helplessness, he is now the most favored by Kangxi, in this case, if he does not take advantage of the situation to integrate the eight parties, wouldn't it make Kangxi underestimate his ability to control the court situation? If he doesn't have the ability to control the court situation, the old fourteen will be limited to a capable minister at most in Kangxi's heart!
People in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves, in the temple of the height, the same is involuntarily, for a group of brothers competing for the prince, it can be described as frightening step by step, always in a dilemma, the old fourteen does not know the danger of being in the position of the prince, but in his situation, there is no way back, only forward, like drinking doves to quench thirst, and have to be willing to eat. The moon is full and waning, the water is full and overflowing, and it is time for the old fourteen to go uphill.
For Kangxi will support him, Yinzhen feels that it is very possible, the eighth and the fourteenth are disconnected, they can't tell each other, the way is unclear, Kangxi will definitely not use the eight parties to balance the fourteenth party, the third one looks forward and backwards, lacks courage, only by supporting him the fourth is enough to balance the fourteenth.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Wu Sidao, this person can be called a peerless strategist, he really sees people and judges things thoroughly, he deliberately belittles the old fourteen and eighth, it should be to boost his confidence, with this talent, what can't be done? He couldn't help but lift his spirits.
There was silence in the simple hall, the two of them were contemplating and contemplating, not interfering with each other, Yin Zhen thought clearly and saw Wu Sidao leaning on the back of the chair, looking at the roof to meditate, and not disturbing him, but he wondered in his heart, what is the chance of the old fourteenth being made the prince this time?
The second brother Yinren tried to usurp the throne twice before and after, and the blow to Kangxi can be imagined, thinking that he should have lingering palpitations about the re-establishment of the prince, but the prince is the country's capital, and it is impossible not to stand, the biggest possibility is to delay a little time, and the prince should be established within three years at the latest, and in just three years, it is not ordinarily difficult to compete with the old fourteen.
Once the old fourteenth is made the crown prince, even if there are some forces, it will be difficult to pull him off the horse for a while, if he can join forces with the eighth, there is a great chance, but the eighth may join forces with him? It's a bit whimsical.
The best way is to make the old fourteenth unable to be made the prince, or Kangxi does not establish the prince, then the situation is the most favorable for him, thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Wu Sidao, but saw that he was reaching out to ask for tea, and immediately said: "Sir, is there a way to prevent the old fourteen from being made the prince?" ”…,
"It's probably not big, this matter lies with the emperor and the fourteenth master." Wu Sidao said most bluntly: "The establishment of the prince is a major matter of the country, and the ministers cannot control the emperor's decision at all. However, we can think of postponing the time when the Fourteenth Master ascends to the throne.
One is the issue of the fourteenth master's heirs, the fourteenth master has nothing to do in the past few years, this news should be spread at this time, provoking the discussion of the court officials, after Kangxi heard about it, he must observe more.
The second is to sow discord between the emperor and the fourteenth master, weaken the emperor's trust in the fourteenth master, the strong combat power of the navy, and the relationship between the nine-gate admiral Long Keduo and the fourteenth master can be greatly used.
Third, you can find the ministers to show the disadvantages of establishing the prince, and advocate delaying or not establishing the prince.
With these three points, coupled with the fact that the emperor himself has considerable concerns about the crown prince, it is enough to greatly delay the process of the emperor appointing the crown prince. ”
"Wonderful!" Yin Zhen praised in a low voice, groaned slightly, and said: "I will immediately arrange for someone to rush back to the capital to arrange it secretly." ”
The capital, the back half of Xizhimen Inner Street, the palace of the county can be described as very lively in the past two days, and the relatives and nobles of the clan have been coming one after another, all of whom have been personally thanked by the mansion, Yinzhen also knows that this time is different from the past, knowing that these people are coming to pull the relationship set closely, but they have to be patient and cheer up to receive them one by one.
After a busy day and a half, he gradually stopped, seeing that the sun was already in the west, Yinzhen was about to go to the back yard to rest, but unexpectedly, he heard that Brother Nine Yinzhen came to visit alone, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, how could Lao Jiu come alone? After a moment's thought, he got up and went out.
After welcoming Lao Jiu at the second door, the two of them greeted each other all the way into the study, and after entering the room and sitting down, Yin Yu said: "The fourteenth brother has been talking to people for the past two days, I think he is extremely tired, and the ninth brother is not talking nonsense, this time I came, it is to convey the goodwill of the starling, the starling brother said, I am willing to be the whetstone of the fourteenth brother, it is just a matter of cooperation and convergence between the two parties, and I hope that the fourteenth brother will be cautious for a long time, and the emperor Ama is afraid that it will be difficult to tolerate the dominance of the fourteenth brother's one party, which is not only touching the imperial power, but also a serious threat to the imperial power. After relaying the original words of the eighth brother, he added: "Finally, the starling brother said that he respected your decision, he was originally going to come over yesterday, but seeing that the fourteenth brother was extremely busy, he waited until today. ”
Yinzhen was speechless for a long time when he heard this, on the surface, he was thinking about him everywhere, but in fact, he reminded himself to leave room for one party, touching the imperial power, endangering the imperial power, how could he not think of it? Starling is just making an excuse for himself, and letting Lao Jiu come alone today is also to leave room for him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, the starling has been working hard for so many years, how difficult it is to let him go, in his memory, the starling has also suffered repeated setbacks, and he still refuses to give up, until after the killing of the eagle, Kangxi said the words of breaking off the relationship between father and son, he fell seriously ill, and almost died because of it, which shows how persistent he is to the storage position.
It seems that he is still a little too anxious, ignoring the feelings of the starling, underestimating the tenacity of the starling, if you want to make the starling die, you have to take it step by step, and gradually divide and win over the members of the eight parties.
Seeing that the old fourteen was slow to make a sound, Yin Yu was quite surprised, and asked hesitantly, "Does the fourteenth brother have doubts?" ”
Yinzhen smiled slightly, but asked rhetorically: "What does Brother Jiu think?" ”
Yin Yu didn't expect the old fourteenth to ask himself, couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, before he said: "I also think that what the starling brother said is very reasonable, after the prince's mutiny, the more precautionary the emperor Ama is, it is difficult to easily trust the brothers, although the fourteenth brother is very trusted now, but as time goes by, it is very unpredictable, and the cooperation between the fourteenth party and the eight parties is more than confluence." "..., whether it is cooperation or confluence, how big is the difference in Kangxi's eyes? It's just to cover his ears and steal the bell, Yinzhen thought disdainfully, however, falling out with the starling is not the result he wants, the so-called cooperation is just a gesture made by the starling, in order to have an explanation to the officials and clansmen of the eight parties, this face will be returned for the time being, and when he hollows out the corner of the eight parties, how will the starling react? Don't worry about him not complying!
Thinking of this, Yinzhen said with a smile: "Starling and Ninth Brother are very worried, and this matter will be based on what Starling said for the time being." ”
Hearing that Yinzhen agreed, Yinzhen was also quite pleased, and hurriedly asked: "What the fourteenth brother said about Cao Yun?"
"When Huang Ama returns to Beijing, I will raise my starling brother in front of Huang Ama to rectify his luck." Yinzhen chuckled and said: "Brother Jiu, don't worry, the fourteen words are like a mountain, and he won't play yin with his own brothers." ”
Yinzhen's words were prickly, and Yinzhen sneered: "That's, who doesn't know that the fourteenth brother is the most affectionate and righteous." ”
"Things gather by like, people by groups, if our four brothers are not people who value love and righteousness, it is impossible for us to come together." Yinzhen borrowed the topic to play: "The tenth brother is straightforward, he has no scheming, the ninth brother is good at dancing with long sleeves, good at gathering wealth, preferring novelty things, starling is called the king of virtue, not only good at gathering people's hearts, but also not losing the integrity and perseverance, if our four brothers can work with one heart and one mind, they will definitely be able to create an unprecedented situation." ”
Speaking of this, Yinzhen changed the topic and asked, "Does Brother Jiu know how I persuaded the prince to surrender willingly?" ”
Yinyu never thought that the old fourteenth still had such great ambitions, creating an unprecedented situation, that is, Kangxi, who created a great foundation, and never dared to boast like this, the old fourteen was really ambitious, and suddenly he took the initiative to mention the prince's surrender, and couldn't help but be curious, he and the starling and others were puzzled by this, the prince had seven thousand people, and he could escape anyway, but why was he encouraged by the old fourteen to surrender happily?
He hurriedly replied: "In this matter, the ninth brother still hasn't figured it out, how did the fourteenth brother do it?" ”
"Promise him enough benefits, of course." Yinzhen said with a smile: "There is a continent on the edge of the South Sea, which is half the size of the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and the climate is suitable, the water and grass are abundant, and the land is fertile, comparable to the south of the Yangtze River. ”
Half of the size of the Qing Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River! Yin Yu couldn't help but gasp, and said hurriedly: "The fourteenth brother deceived him? ”
"Naturally not, how can the prince be so easy to deceive?" Yinzhen shook his head slightly.
Yin Yu stared at him and asked, "Is there really such a big continent on the edge of the South Sea?" ”
"It's been a year of surveying, and it's true, and it's mostly uncivilized natives." Yinzhen said slowly: "I am ready to migrate a large number of Mongolians and Han people to develop in the past. ”
Yin Yu lost his voice and said: "It is so far away from the Qing Dynasty, the fourteenth brother is not worried about the prince establishing himself as the king, this is a problem for raising tigers." ”
"It will become another fundamental place of the Qing Dynasty, how can the prince be given the opportunity to establish himself as the king, and naturally arrange people to check and balance." Yinzhen said this lightly, his tone changed, and he said in a deep voice: "However, I am ready to suggest to Huang Ama to implement overseas separation. ”
"Rippling the Ground?" Yin Yu asked in surprise.
"Yes!" Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "It's not a horse race, but as much territory as you can build, you can seal as much as you want." ”
Yinyu's heart was about to jump out when he boarded, God, how big it is, how big it is! What was that like? Isn't overseas a paradise? He suddenly felt that the world was big, not to mention far, even if he could tear the soil and seal the king in Japan, it would be far better than being a prince in the capital!
After a while, Yinyu calmed down, this is at most the idea of the old fourteen, will Kangxi agree? Tearing the soil and sealing the king, this is against the ancestral system, but overseas, it seems, should, can be treated as a different matter, besides, how many years can Kangxi live? ..., Moreover, as soon as the plan of the old fourteenth overseas king was spread, all the clan relatives and nobles didn't support him like crazy? How many clans and nobles are in Beijing waiting to die? Who wants to live in the capital for the rest of their lives? It is completely conceivable that as soon as this plan is introduced, even Kangxi will not be able to suppress it!
The old fourteen has a powerful and huge ocean-going fleet in his hands, and the conquest of overseas is definitely not empty talk, as soon as this plan is introduced, all the clans will rush to it, and the navy will be unimaginably hot, so who can compete with the old fourteen? Yin Yu secretly wondered, no wonder the old fourteen didn't care whether the Eighth Party and the Fourteenth Party cooperated or merged, it turned out that he still had this trump card in his hand! Even he was shocked, not to mention the other clans of the Eight Parties, he was afraid that there would be no one left immediately.
No, hurry back and inform the starling, the old fourteen is too ruthless, not a conspiracy, but an open and honest digging corner, once the eight parties become an empty shell, no matter whether the starling is sincere or false, he will have to support the old fourteen.
Thinking of this, Yin Yu got up and said, "The fourteenth brother has been tired for a few days, and the ninth brother won't disturb you much and say goodbye." ”
Yinzhen didn't say much, and then got up and sent Lao Jiu out of the study, the attraction of the king of the ripping earth was too great, he knew that Lao Jiu was in a hurry to rush back to discuss with the starling.
Lao Jiufang was discharged from the hospital, and Da Chun came in to report: "Master, Nanyang Liu Zhisheng sent good news. ”
