On May 9, the 47th year of Kangxi, the trade fleet sent by the "Eight Banners Firm" to Dongying returned smoothly and docked at Jiaoao (now Qingdao), eight large sea ships made a trip down, and made a total profit of 3,297,000 taels of silver, far exceeding the original estimate of about 2,500,000 taels.

On the fifth day of June in the 47th year of Kangxi, the "Eight Banners Firm" sent to the South Seas of 12 large sea ships loaded with all kinds of goods also arrived in Guangzhou smoothly, a voyage down, a total of 4,400,000 25,000 silver, and the expected slight deviation, about 300,000 taels less, generally due to the one-time arrival of too many goods in the South Seas, resulting in a decline in the transaction price, but still can be said to be a lot of money, in mid-June, the statement of profit status arrived in Beijing, the Eight Banners firm held a board of directors overnight, And form a resolution on the issuance of dividends and report to Mr. Kangxi for review.

On June 16, the 47th year of Kangxi, the emperor issued an edict to approve the resolution of the Eight Banners firm, and allocated more than 500,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury to make up an integer of five million taels, and issued the eight banners according to the regulations.

On June 18, the 47th year of Kangxi, when the various departments of the Eight Banners were excited about the first dividend that was about to arrive, the old man issued another edict to restore the position of the prince of Yinren, and Zhang Tingyu presided over the ceremony.

On June 21, the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, the emperor summoned the eighth master Changchun Garden, who had recovered from a serious illness, to meet with Wen Yan, and staged a good show of father and son, even if he was promoted to the eighth master as Prince Lian the next day, the fourth master was also promoted to Prince Yong, and the fifth master, the seventh master, the ninth master, and the tenth master were all promoted to the county king, and gave a banquet to a hundred officials in the Changchun Garden.

On the first day of July in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, the emperor issued an edict again, giving the prince the right to approve the fold, and explicitly ordered that the six official documents were sent to Yuqing Palace first, and supplemented by Ma Qi, Wang Shizhen and other scholars, and in the next half of the month, he repeatedly rewarded the text approved by the prince, and recalled the prince's henchmen such as Ling Pu, who was derogatory at the beginning of the year, to the court one by one, of which Ling Pu was appointed as the minister in charge of the internal affairs department; Shen Tiansheng was promoted to the head of the household department, and Shi Shilun, the original head of the household department, transferred Liangjiang to the title of governor, replacing the vacancy left by Ba Xi, who had been relieved and returned to the field; The former military secretary Geng Eguan who was implicated in the dethronement case was reinstated; Qi Shiwu Jin is the secretary of the Criminal Department, and he is exempted from the post of the secretary of the Criminal Department of the former University Shi Wenda; Ilsai, Dagu and other former prince's henchmen were also able to enter the six ministries to occupy important positions, and for a time the prince's authority was heavy, and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs were stunned.

On the ninth day of September in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, the old man went down to the south of the Yangtze River again, took Zhang Tingyu and Chen Tingjing with him, and left the prince in charge of the country, with Ma Qi, Wenda, Wang Shizhen, and Yin Tai as the four auxiliary ministers.

The old man walked in a chic way, so he went to play, but the Beijing division was in trouble, no, the old man had just left a few days before his feet, and the prince who pretended to be a crooked grandson began to go crazy, first under the pretext of dismissing Shen Xiao, the superintendent of the imperial history, and then demoting Chen Wang from the Ministry of Langzhong and Qi Zhicheng from Beijing, the reason? Groundless!

Shen Xiao and the others are not in a high position, they are just five-grade officials, in the Beijing division where the powerful and noble are all over the place, they are inconspicuous, if it is usual, whether these officials are removed or not, no one will care at all, but at this time, the prince made such a move, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military was suddenly shocked, not for anything else, just because these three people were the first three people to sponsor the eighth master at the time of the public promotion, and the prince at this time the whole three people were obviously not accidental, they hit the dog, but they slapped the eighth master, It's hard to say what the consequences will be.

How is it? In fact, it really didn't matter, just when the ministers were waiting to see how the eighth master would fight back, the eighth master said that he was sick and took leave, and went home directly, the door did not go out, and the second door did not step into the shrinking turtle, and he was stunned that there was no sound, he showed weakness and did not tighten, the prince was even more energetic, and in less than a month, he successively issued more than a dozen edicts, and more than 20 servants of the eighth master and the ninth master were either degraded or exempted. There is no side, almost 90% of the officials who sponsor the eighth master in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, if the prince is allowed to go so nonsense again, the big guys will not have good fruits to eat, everyone is in danger, and the people who run to the eighth master's mansion for help will go to the sea, but there are few people who can really see the eighth master, without him, the eighth master is sick, and he is still very serious, and he does not see guests.

The eighth master is so hiding, but he has suffered nine or eleven two masters, almost every once in a while the prince is called into the palace, every time he is trained like a grandson, what a big thing has to be on the platform, the two masters are miserable, the prince is in charge of the country at this time, he wants to train people, the ninth master and the tenth master can really only listen obediently, of course, the two masters are not easy to mess with, and in private, a lot of ministers have written to the old man who is far away in Jiangnan, planning to play the trick of suing the emperor, It's a pity that the old man didn't pay attention to it at all, all the books were like a stone sinking into the sea, and he didn't even have a bubble, and as a last resort, the ninth master and the tenth master had to learn from the eighth master and also sue for illness, and they couldn't afford to provoke it, hide!

Seeing that the sky is about to reach the Spring Festival, the sky is already cold and panicked, but this year's weather is strange, cold to cold, but the first snow has not fallen for a long time, the wind is very strong, whistling, blowing face pain, the sky is cold and frozen, but still but can not live the courtiers into Yuqing Palace to tie the prince's enthusiasm, no side, no see the power of the eight masters have collapsed under the power of the prince, at this time do not hurry up to make up for the past mistakes, once the prince is liquidated, the consequences are unbearable, because of such a thoughtIn the past few days, in the name of the coming of the New Year, the people who gave gifts to Yuqing Palace really don't know how many, even the third master went to join in the excitement, but Hongqing is still the old god is leisurely on the ground, and he doesn't go to the East Palace at all.

"Qing Belle, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you to Yuqing Palace."

As the so-called tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Hongqing does not want to see the prince, but the prince obviously has no intention of letting Hongqing go down.

"There is Lao Zhang's father-in-law."

Hongqing is not familiar with Zhang Degao, only knows that he was originally one of the little eunuchs who listened to the prince's side, because the former deputy chief eunuch Zhao Xiaoxiao hated the old man in the matter of the eldest brother's nightmare pressing the prince, and was directly demoted to the Xin Zheku, and was promoted to the deputy director of the East Palace because of fate, as for whether there is any side reason inside, Hongqing is not very clear, but Hongqing doesn't want to care, let alone get close to Zhang Degao, after listening to his proclamation, he just returned the salute, and responded indifferently.

"Harubaelor, please!"

In the past few months, with the prestige of the crown prince, Zhang Degao's small life has also been extremely prosperous, not to mention ordinary officials, even the first and second grade officials have seen it, so they have to be respectfully accompanied by careful, at this time, Hongqing's expression is so indifferent, and there is no slightest bit of flattery and care, and his heart is unhappy, but he didn't dare to show Hongqing's face on the spot, so he just waved his hand, and said a word of invitation without a smile.

"Hmm."

Hongqing was clever by nature, but he could see that Zhang Degao was hiding his deep displeasure, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and after saying a word quietly, he flicked his sleeves and walked slowly in the direction of Yuqing Palace.

In the study of Yuqing Palace, the prince sat in front of the copywriter, burying his head in a quick book, even if he obviously heard the footsteps of Hongqing coming in, he didn't see him raise his head, so busy, is this really the case? I'm afraid that it may not be, at least in Hongqing's opinion, there is no side, this is the next horse.

"The little nephew knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince."

Although he had already guessed that the prince would not have much good intentions when he came to announce himself this time, but when he really saw the prince's performance like this, Hongqing couldn't help but roll over a crooked feeling in his heart, but at this moment, even if he was angry, it was rude, and he had no choice but to take a few steps closely, grab the front, and make a big salute in a proper manner.

"Yo, it's Qing'er who is here, excuse me, just settle down."

Hearing the sound, the prince finally raised his head, glanced at Hongqing, and instantly changed his face to a smile, raised his hand falsely, and called out politely.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie Longen."

Although Hongqing was muttering in his heart, but the number of courtesies that should be done was not less at all, and after thanking him respectfully, he got up, bowed slightly, and made a well-behaved appearance of listening to the instructions, but his brain was running at high speed, thinking carefully about the prince's possible difficulties, but under a thousand clues, how could he think of it for a while, and in desperation, he could only wait for the prince to reveal the mystery by himself.
