Around the abolition and restoration of the crown prince Yinren, between the princes of the inner palace, the eunuchs, and the ministers, and between the ministers and ministers of the government and the opposition, the struggle for life and death continued for more than ten years. A group of ministers fell and a group of newcomers were promoted, almost all of which were closely related to Yinren's going, staying, ups and downs. Since the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, he declared the crown prince Yinren guilty in Burhasutai and was detained in the capital to be imprisoned in Xian'an Palace. Since then, the monarch has no peace, the country has no peace, and the emperor and his brothers have tried their best to see the vacant position of the crown prince, and they are fighting to the death in the open. First of all, ministers such as Aling'a, Oro Dai, Kuoxu, and Wang Hongxu asked the eighth son of the emperor Yinxi to be the crown prince, but Kangxi was furious and cut Wang Hongxu, Li Zhenyu and other ministers from their posts, but released Yinren.

In the forty-eighth year, because the courtiers recommended Yinren, he mistakenly detained Ma Qiyou, the minister of the upper study, to death, and instead took Yinren's life, the eldest brother Yinzhen, took the title and was imprisoned.

In March of this year, Kangxi reinstated Yinchu as the crown prince, issued an edict to the temple, and issued an edict to the world.

In the forty-ninth year, in order to strengthen the power of the prince, Qinren's master, Wang Luo, who was over seventy years old, was appointed as the secretary of the military department, and in the second year, he was also promoted to a university scholar. However, Yinren did become a dou who couldn't be helped. Although Wang Luo and his cadres tried their best to support him, he had no choice but to go through several tosses of abolition and establishment, and his temperament became very stubborn and obedient, and gradually grew up Bawang Kangxi's early death, so that he could inherit the unification as soon as possible, so as to end the fate of living a frightened and fearful life under the nose of his father.

After Yinren re-entered Yuqing Palace, he used the power of the supervisor to approve the red in the study, and sent his subordinates Qi Hetuo, Geng E, Luo Xin, and Zhan Mingyou to serve in various places one after another, taking charge of military power, and being promoted to an official without exception. Punish corrupt officials, severely punish Yinxi's henchmen, and cut off dissidents. At the same time, he locked Cai Jing, Wan Xinmin, and Feng Yunchun in one go, and several feudal officials, all of whom were Ma Qi's protégés, which caused the government and the opposition to look sideways. He secretly recruited troops and gathered forces in an attempt to mutiny. He openly and secretly opposed Kangxi's tax exemption, which made the discussion boiling.

Kangxi seemed to turn a deaf ear to what the prince did and didn't care about it. The East Palace sent a piece of music, playing one by one, in the eyes of outsiders, as if the saint fully supported the prince's pro-government. At the same time as the prince gathered his forces, Yinzhen and Yinxiang helped Yinren to take care of the ministry affairs, worked diligently, and secretly unconsciously made Nian Qianyao Jin the governor of Sichuan, and the doormen Li Wei and Yue Zhongqi were promoted to political envoys in other provinces, and Dai Duo was also released to do Zhangzhou Road, Fujian. Yinyu's "Eight Masters Party" Yinyu has been carefully ground and beaten in the military department, and has broken out of a world. Whether it is to rectify the affairs of the ministry or go out to inspect the river affairs and transportation, he is meticulous and diligent. Whoever is within the jurisdiction, regardless of the disciple of the elder brother, will be rewarded for his merits, and punished for his mistakes. As a result, the wise and capable voice of the thirteenth elder brother rose up, which was enough to fight with the fourth elder brother Yinzhen.

The three forces of Yinren, Yinzhen, and Yinyu, just like the volcanic magma before the eruption, are all gathering their own energy, and soon they are evenly matched, forming a three-legged trend. Some of the rest of the elder brothers are attached to a certain faction, some have their own ideas, and collude inside and outside, and they are actually eight immortals floating in the sea, each showing their magical powers.

This year's Double Ninth Festival, Yinyu finished handling the affairs of the ministry at the yamen of the Ministry of War, so that the officials dispersed early, sorted out the documents with their own hands, and was about to return to the house, but saw the officer holding a stack of military reports and hurriedly walked into the signing room. Yinyu hurriedly opened it and took a look, but it was an excerpt translated into Manchu, Chinese, and Tibetan, and he wrote on his head: "In order to plan for Alabutan's subordinate Ce Ling Dun Dobu to lead his troops to attack Tibet, the minister and the king of Tibet, Durbot, please live it, and quickly send the heavenly soldiers to Tibet and protect the territory......"

After reading it, Yinyu's spirit was lifted, and he immediately took a sedan chair and went straight to Yuqing Palace to see the prince. Yuqing Palace is no longer what it used to be, and it is very lively. I saw Yinren full of ambition, sitting there, Yinzhen and Yinxiang played Heng'er, and Wang Liang, Zhang Tingyu, Tong Guowei, Ma Qi, Zhu Tianbao and others sat in turn, and there were delicate palace points and Annan Gongguo on the table. Yinyu walked in, greeted the prince, and sat down under Yinxiang.

Listening to Yinxiang continue what he said just now, he said:

"There are people who eat for nothing and don't work. Let's just say that the cat of the old eight families looks like a tiger, has a gentle temperament, and is strange and cute, but it lies all day long, muttering, like Xuanfo, and never catches mice. What's funny is that I heard that this 'Buddha cat' was bitten by a mouse recently, and the eighth child took it seriously to see a doctor. ”

"Didn't you go to the Tai Hospital to see the Tai Doctor!" Zhu Tianbao asked with a smile.

Everyone leaned forward and leaned back with laughter. Yinyu listened to the story of this "Buddha cat", and it seemed that he was deliberately making up the old eight Yinyu, and was thinking about how to make up some fun to pay a few words, but the prince spoke:

"Without further ado, it's time to get down to business." glanced at Yinyu with a side face, "Old Fourteen, seeing that you are in a hurry, is there anything wrong?" ”

Yinyu got up and bowed, handed over the fold and said:

"The emergency military letter that just arrived!"

"Oh," Yinren looked at it for a long time, frowned and said, "This Alabutan, how kind the court is to him!" If it weren't for Huang Amma's three personal expeditions and the destruction of Geerdan, would he be where he is today? In the early years, he was not quiet, and only fought for the pasture, but now it is good, raising troops into Tibet, rebelling, how can this be justified! ”

"It's unbearable!" Yinyu echoed and said, "He bullied the emperor for his old age, and he can't go back to fight in person, are all our thirty brothers 'Buddha cats'?" ”

Only then did everyone know that something big had happened in Qingzang in the west. In the peaceful world, once the army was used, the government and the opposition were shocked, and no one dared to be contemptuous, so they got up from their seats one after another, stood solemnly, and listened to the prince's decision.

Seeing that the prince had no idea for a while, Wang Yu took two steps forward and said, "The military situation must not be delayed, the prince, you must immediately play the emperor, appoint the commander of the army, and discuss the matter of sending troops!" ”

Yinren left his seat and said in a deep voice: "It's easy to say that it's easy to send troops, but it's difficult to win with armaments and food, and it's hard to win thousands of miles!" When the emperor asked, we must have a score. Whoever is the commander, who is the general, where the soldiers are transferred, the source of salary, and the grain route must be well known. When it is clear, it is good to ask for the order. ”

Zhang Tingyu saw that Ma Qi and Tong Guowei were silent, knowing that their situation was difficult and he couldn't speak. Unwilling to speak easily, he had to speak:

"According to the minister's opinion, if the source of the salary came out of the southeast, went through Caoyun to Zhili, and then turned to Ganshan, it seems to be slower. It is better to ask for the mobilization of grain from Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, and Gansu and Shaanxi provinces, that is, the halls and guards set up in Yulin and Yan'an, as well as a lot of old grain, and transfer them to Xining for later use. In this way, the grain storage has also been updated, and the risk of being unable to save the fire from far water has also been solved. ”

"Tuoheqi Gubeikou garrison, the prince originally ordered Shunyi," Ma Qi has always been sweating about the camp, thinking that it is too close to the capital, and he is afraid that he will be suspicious. Hearing this, I had to say, "Although these fifteen thousand people have reached the rotation period, they were originally to guard against Mongolian accidents. ”

"These are two different things," Yinren raised his hands and slashed left and right, "The use of troops in the northwest is the overall situation, and the change of defense is the case." Shunyi is not suitable, then it is good to transfer Fengtai - you transfer people from Gubeikou to Hanguguan, the same outside the Saiwai, the same bitter cold, are people happy? ”

Tong Guowei secretly gloated in his heart. Ma Qi complained in his heart, he wanted to be suspicious, but he was not approved, but he wanted to transfer the Tuohe Qi Department to Fengtai, and he couldn't help but be stunned and persuaded:

"Fengtai is, this matter has to be played by the Ming Sheng, and there is a will to do it!"

"Is there a precedent?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't I know?" Yinren and Ma Qi argued, "That year, Emperor Amaxi went on an expedition, and I transferred 40,000 green battalion soldiers to Xishan, and there was no request. He saw that Zhang Tingyu also moved his lips and wanted to interject, so he said, "This matter is discussed here." I think Alabutan is in turmoil, and in previous years, my father must have personally recruited it. My father's Spring and Autumn Period is already high, and I am duty-bound to go west. The prince's personal expedition is also a proper duty, let me also go and practice! ”

Ma Qi sighed, the prince was going to go out of Beijing, but he was suspicious of Tuo Heqi's transfer. Tong Guowei and Zhang Tingyu thought the opposite, Fengtai is the gateway to Gyeonggi, and the prince commanded 100,000 troops to go on the expedition, but once there is a change, it is really unimaginable. Tong Guowei couldn't wait to make a big fuss, so Zhang Tingyu frowned and persuaded:

"Prince, you are the crown prince, Qinghai-Tibet can't use troops, just send a general. Alabutan is not Geerdan, so naturally there is no need for the prince to recruit in person! ”

"What Zhang Zhongtang said is very true," Yinyu, who had long wanted to be a general, said vigorously, "This time it is best for me to lead the troops." The emperor entrusted me to govern the military department, and I am already familiar with the soldiers and salaries, so I just had a small try! ”

Yinxiang stood up again and said:

"Old Fourteen, don't think that you understand military affairs, and I am not ambiguous! You only need to supply the food and salary in the military department, don't learn to ask for it-" The three words "Suo Etu" have not yet been exported, and suddenly realized that Suo Etu is Yinren's maternal uncle, in order to help the prince ascend the throne as soon as possible, taking advantage of his father's westward expedition, Suo Etu obstructed the grain route with ill intentions, delayed the military aircraft, and almost starved his father to death in the Gobi Desert. He knew that he had lost his mouth, so he hurriedly stopped and covered it up with a sip of tea.

Yinren didn't seem to understand Yinxiang's words, got up and said, "The matter of the Western Expedition is here." Tingyu, Ma Qi, Tong Guowei, the four of us will go to Changchun Garden to see how to decide, and just go back and listen to the order. ”

When the discussion in Yuqing Palace was boiling, Kangxi did not sleep in Changchun Garden. I had already smelled the ** smell of Yuqing Palace, but I just pretended to be deaf and dumb and waited for the opportunity. How can a tiger lick his feet next to the couch? This is his experience of decades of bloody blood. At this time, he was with Fang Bao, the prime minister of Buyi, seemingly chatting, but every word was really full of blood and bones.

After chatting energetically, Li Dequan walked in and said:

"Long live, the crown prince and Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi, and Tong Guowei are all here, please see you at the east gate."

"Oh, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." Kangxi glanced at Fang Bao and instructed the chief eunuch, "Tell them to wait in Songhe's study, and I will go in a while." ”

As soon as Li Dequan left, Kangxi suddenly said to Fang Bao:

"Mr. Fang, if someone wants to carry out the Chenqiao Mutiny now, how sure do you think they are?"

"Is there such a thing?" Fang Bao's face was pale with fright, his beard trembled, and he looked at Kangxi seriously, long live the Lord was not like a joke, so he said, "No, no, no......"

"Yes." Kangxi said calmly, "There are already people carrying me on their backs, transferring 15,000 troops from Gubeikou, stationed in Shunyi, and approaching Gyeonggi. The Ruijian battalion cast ten red-clothed gates with the military department on their backs, and the muzzles of the cannons were facing me in Changchun Garden, with sharp teeth and sharp teeth, and they were about to bite over, and these are all-"

Fang Bao shuddered, and had to be relieved: "Soldier, fierce!" The Holy One was extremely suspicious. However, in my opinion, not to mention the more than 10,000 people, even Chen Bing's 100,000 soldiers, it is also in vain, and Chen Qiao is completely different. The authority is in the hands of the master, ascending to the heights, the four seas respond, and the plotters are disintegrated. ”

"Really?" Kangxi got up, called people to change clothes, and said to Fang Bao who was following behind, "I have done my best to be benevolent and righteous, what does he want, I depend on him, but he wants my life, do you also rely on it?" ”

"Your Majesty," Fang Bao suddenly realized, "The minister knows who the Holy Lord is referring to." This kind of thing may be unintentional by the perpetrator, but it must be dealt with urgently. Once a big change occurs, although the emperor is merciful, it will inevitably ...... cough, the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, the relationship between father and son is over. Besides, the prince of the world, if he is abolished again and again, it is also ......"

"That's what I'm worried about," Kangxi stopped and looked sad, "But it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, what's the way!" Fang Bao, you go back, avoid it, I will take care of this matter. ”

Fang Bao hesitated for a moment, bowed down and said:

"Since the minister is allowed to be the king, he should not avoid everything."

"I will leave you innocent, and it will be of great use in the future. You go to the Bodhi Temple outside the garden to rest. Kangxi said, dropped the bud, and walked towards Songhe's study without looking back.

Xing Nian sang a promise, Yinren and the others hurriedly walked out of the corridor and knelt down, and when Kangxi walked up to the Danqi, Yinren kowtowed and said: "Erchen Yinren Gong knocks on the emperor Ama Sheng'an!" ”

After Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi, and Tong Guowei knocked on An, they followed Kangxi and walked in. Kangxi sat down next to the big kang coffee table, and after a long time, Fang coughed lightly and ordered, "Come in!" ”

Yinren walked in, looked up, and saw Huang Ama wearing a green felt satin crown, a lambskin gown and a crimson river silk cotton robe, and a pair of green satin cool soap boots.

At this time, Kangxi asked:

"Is there anything that matters?"

Yinren hurriedly explained the use of troops in Qinghai-Tibet and the discussion in Yuqing Palace, and finally said:

"Erchen, Yinxiang, and Yinyu are all willing to lead the army to the battle. As the crown prince, the son lacks experience, and he is willing to use this to make meritorious contributions to the country and ask for his father's permission! ”

"Oh, I can't imagine that I have ambitions. But leading troops to fight is not child's play, among my sons, it seems that only Yinyu has a little knowledge of tactics and has the talent of a general, do you say? Tingyu. ”

"Well, yes!" Zhang Tingyu was unexpectedly ordered by Kangxi to "general", at this time he opened his mouth for fear of offending the prince, and second, he wanted to be loyal to the emperor, and when he was in a dilemma, he suddenly frowned and said, "According to the opinion of the foolish ministers, although the king of Tibet invited soldiers, it was just a precaution, and the situation was not very sinister. Our army rushed to send troops, and the victory was not enough to show its military might, and there were occasional small setbacks, which also helped the arrogance of foreign countries. It is better to send a general to parade the army in the Ganshan area, and Sheng Chen's majesty is magnificent. In order to deter Arabutan and make him retreat without a fight......"

"Hengchen," Kangxi said with relief, "Unexpectedly, you are a civil servant, but you have military strategy." Turning to the crowd, "You only know how to fight and kill, but you don't know how to use troops as a last resort." According to Zhang Aiqing's words, a general was first sent to Xining to parade the troops. It is best for Alabutan to retreat knowing the difficulties, if he wants to go his own way, the court is ready, and it is not too late to go on the expedition. ”

As soon as Yinren heard the ball like a deflated ball, he knew that he had no hope, so he retreated and said: "Father Emperor Shengming! In this case, please ask the emperor to send an edict and go to Xining with the secretary of the military department. ”

"Geng?" Kangxi let out a cruel laugh, "You have saved the case of Geng's embezzlement, and now you have to protect him to lead the troops, which can be described as well-intentioned!" ”

"Huang Ama," Yinren heard that the tone was wrong, and hurriedly kowtowed, "There is a reason for Geng's case, but there is no evidence. After all, he sent troops to fight several times, and his son guaranteed him that he was not selfish, and begged his father to be enlightened. ”

Kangxi stood up and sneered: "What a holy book is not a holy book!" What you say in your mouth is like honey, but it is sharpening knives and grinding at the bottom, which is not chilling! ”

Yinren was dumbfounded by the question. When everyone saw Kangxi's murderous face, they all suddenly changed color. Only Tong Guowei was glad that Yinren was about to fall again, and he added fuel to the fire and said:

"Long live Lord, the prince just said that he mobilized soldiers and horses to enter Fengtai, and there was no need to ask for a decree at all."

"Tong Guowei, don't get involved, I'll settle accounts with you later!" Kangxi turned around, glanced at Tong Guowei and then at Yinren, and sneered with one stone, "If someone doesn't know, unless you don't do it, you don't think I know about the things you do?" There are five blessings in "Shangshu Hongfan", in which the word "longevity" is the word "longevity", I have lived to this age; the word "rich" is not the emperor's land in the whole world, and it is needless to say; the word "Kangning", although there are regrets, it is still reasonable; the word "virtue", I also have a common goal of the virtue and politics - why do I put the "final examination" at the end? Zhao Kuangyin Hero I, the sound of the dying candle shadow axe, a mystery for the ages! Although I am not sensitive, I can't see this, how can I fall into the hands of the son of evil! ”

After that, Kangxi glared at Yinren and Tong Guowei, kicked the door open, and walked away! was so frightened that Yinren roared and fell to the ground.

Kangxi abolished the prince again this time, cut through the chaos quickly, acted vigorously and resolutely, and couldn't hide his ears quickly. On the same day, he returned to the Forbidden City from Changchun Garden, and immediately sent a decree to imprison Yinren on the spot and wait for his fate. The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs took a group of eunuchs to Yuqing Palace, removed all the documents and files, and handed Zhu Tianbao and his cronies over to the Criminal Department for temporary house arrest. At the same time, he ordered to lock up the military department Shangshu Geng'e, the criminal department Shangshu Qi Shiwu, the capital Eshan, the deputy capital Wuli, and Tuo Heqi.

Overnight, the world was turned upside down and fell apart. The new snares were almost wiped out, and only one old Wang was still in the dark.

The next day, Wang Luo was shocked to hear the rumors that the prince was imprisoned again, and immediately ordered a sedan chair to be prepared, and went straight to the Forbidden City. Along the way, he was also annoyed that Yinren didn't listen to advice, and some things were too outrageous, but it was expected that the emperor would not abolish the prince again. He is now not only the prince's master, but also a scholar before the emperor. If Kangxi just made a sudden decision in anger, after his bitter admonition, I believe that he could still turn the crisis into safety. handed over the sign at Xihuamen, and Wang Liang entered the inner house effortlessly. Entering Tianjie from Longchongmen, I saw that the officials of the six ministries and nine secretaries were here, and Tong Guowei was also mixed in. I also saw more than a dozen princes, county kings, Baylor, and Beizi's princes and Yinren kneeling under the Yuehua Gate, but they didn't see the eighth elder brother Yinren. He thought to himself, knowing that the rumors were true. So he made a desperate plan to admonish, and he lifted his robe to walk towards the Qianqing Gate.

"Lord Wang, please stay!" The guards Delentai, Yang Dazhuang and others stopped him.

"I want to see the emperor, you let me in!" Wang Luo shouted loudly, "I am the nominal secretary of the military department, and I am a university scholar...... and I am making trouble, but I saw Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi, as well as Fang Bao, who was dressed in cloth and soap, walked out of the Qianqing Gate together, all of them were pale, and said a few words in front of the Yuehua Gate, and the princes followed the ministers of the study out of the Qianqing Gate, and stood in front of the big fish tank.

"Holy Decree!" Ma Qi said loudly, "All civil and military officials kneel to receive it. ”

Hundreds of ministers knelt down and kowtowed, shouting long live, and an old bureaucrat actually fainted on the spot because of excessive nervousness. Zhang Tingyu didn't pay attention to it, unfolded the edict in his hand, and read it out in a lofty manner:

Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said: Since ancient times, the prosperity of the generation must have the master, and the country will be long and the prince is the most important. former

Because Yinren acted obediently, he was once imprisoned, and then he bowed down and embraced his illness, and remembered the grace of his father and son and forgave him. In this issue

To reform himself, he can barely be entrusted with big things. How do you know that when Yi is released, his perverse heart will be revealed. years to come

Come, the disease of madness and ease has not been eliminated, right and wrong are indistinguishable, it is very unpopular, it is cruel, and it is not small

People form parties! Although Yinren has no dissenting intentions in me, if the villain wants to support the merits, there will be unforeseen things in me

Things, it is related to my fame! When I was released before, I had already said: Yishan, then the crown prince, otherwise

The resumption of imprisonment, there is no hope for his deeds now, and the ancestors must not pay this person - it is still useless

Dethroned. All the ministers and workers should think of my heart, and each should be desperate, devote their hearts to the Lord, and share peace. Later, if there is a recital, please

The crown prince has changed his ways, and those who should be released are all in the country's law, although I don't want to be punished, how can I get it? admire

This!

Zhang Tingyu's voice had fallen, and the ministers seemed to have just woken up from a nightmare, and one by one they raised their necks and raised their heads and shouted "Long live". There were already two eunuchs who walked silently towards Yinren, and Yinren, who had a dead face, trembled and took off the crown decorated with twelve Dongzhu, pushed away the eunuchs who came to support, and followed Liu Tiecheng and his guards away.
