Chapter 388: The Trivial Matter of Winning the Heir (Part II)

The night is quiet and the sky is full of stars. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Jia Liyu and Wei Xiaobao walked side by side on the bluestone road along the river, and the people on the other side of the river were lit up early, and the lights were connected, winding like a long snake.

There was a bang, and suddenly a sound sounded in the river, and a black canopy boat glided leisurely, and the boatman who was holding an oars could be faintly seen.

"Brother Jia, let me ask you, which of the princes do you think is most likely to inherit the great treasure?"

When the two walked to a slightly secluded place, Wei Xiaobao asked Jia Liyu in a low voice.

Jia Liyu stretched out his right palm, then curled his thumb to show a "four" figure.

The fourth is the fourth prince Yinzhen, that is, the current Prince Yong.

Wei Xiaobao nodded and said, "I see it that way too." ”

"My predecessors have been paying attention to the situation in the DPRK and China all these years?"

"Have an understanding, although I am no longer an official, but it is inevitable to pay attention to the industry of old friends, besides, I am a businessman, and it is beneficial and disadvantageous to pay more attention to the situation between the DPRK and China. ”

In the conversation with Kangxi, Wei Xiaobao finally had reservations, his grasp and judgment of the current situation far exceeded that much he showed in front of Kangxi, but he knew that since ancient times, the matter of seizing the heir was extremely dangerous, and when the situation was not completely clear, it was extremely risky to stand in line rashly, and it was likely to fall into a place of no return.

"So, the seniors also think that Prince Yong inherited the unification?"

"Judging from the current situation, he is undoubtedly the most suitable one, as long as the emperor is not old and confused, he will definitely pass the throne to the fourth child in the end, by the way, Brother Jia, how did you make your judgment?"

"His Majesty the Emperor came to see you tonight, and only brought the four princes and the sons of the four princes, which shows that the emperor is not only very satisfied with the four princes, but also with the sons of the four princes.

Wei Xiaobao smiled: "It makes sense, this may not be one of the reasons." ”

"What about the seniors, how did you make your judgment?"

Wei Xiaobao hummed inexplicably, and then silently walked forward for a distance, and said, "I lined up several princes, compared them one by one, and then deleted them one by one, and finally only the four princes were left. ”

Jia Liyu turned his head to look at him, and he was also curious about where Wei Xiaobao's upper limit of wisdom was.

Listen to him continue: "Needless to say, the prince is two sides and two wastes, it can be said that there is no chance of a comeback, and then boss, he is too anxious, and if he is in a hurry, he will do the wrong thing, if my expectations are good, he will soon make mistakes." ”

Jia Liyu nodded in agreement.

"The third child is a scholar, and he has the meaning of being wise and self-protecting, it's okay to be an idle king, it's difficult to go further. ”

"As for the fourth child, that is, Prince Yong, he is ambitious, courageous, resourceful, and means, and most importantly, he is most needed in the Qing Dynasty today. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Jia Liyu asked cooperatively.

"Today, Your Majesty governs the country with benevolence and has always been tolerant of officials, but now Your Majesty's body is getting weaker and weaker, and he is more tired of political affairs, and those officials below are even more lawless, and when the officialdom is chaotic, the people will be chaotic, and the people will be chaotic, and the country will be chaotic.

Seeing this, it is natural to arrange an heir who can rectify the rule of officials, and from this point of view, Prince Yong, the cold-faced prince, is the most suitable candidate. ”

"Whip into the inside, the seniors are high-minded. ”

Wei Xiaobao waved his hand and said, "This is just my rough guess, in fact, those ministers in the court are more inclined to choose the master, the eighth sage king." ”

"I have also heard that this Eight Sages King is very capable of handling errands and has a wide range of contacts, and half of the ministers of the court and the central government are good friends with him. Jia Liyu said intentionally.

Wei Xiaobao waved his hand when he heard this, and said, "It's a good thing, but it's not necessarily all a good thing." ”

"The predecessors meant, a double-edged sword. ”

"That's right, the most taboo thing for His Majesty today is to form a party for personal gain, Lao Ba is so confident, thinking that he can get the throne by getting the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, or thinking too simply, he forgot one thing, in today's world, it is not the Manchu Dynasty civil and military who can give him the throne, but His Majesty today. ”

And so it was. ”

"Moreover, the eighth child has one of the most fatal weaknesses, and this weakness may directly cause him to miss the throne. ”

"What weakness?"

"He imagined His Majesty too much. ”

"Like Your Majesty?"

"Yes, the eighth has been learning from Your Majesty, but, he has overlearned, how to say that sentence, those who learn from me live, those who resemble me die, and the eighth is now the one who resembles me. ”

"I heard that the eighth prince treats people generously......

"A lump of harmony is just a means to buy people's hearts, take a step back, I am a good friend to everyone, not a good friend to everyone, if I am still an official in the court, I will not be friendly with him. ”

Wei Xiaobao's face was full of disapproval: "He wants to establish the image of a benevolent and virtuous king, and wants to learn from His Majesty's benevolence today, but he doesn't know what His Majesty is really thinking in his heart." ”

"Rulers?"

"It's the rule of officials, the Eight Sages King is kind to people, and the relationship between the court and the court is complicated, and one day in the future, when he becomes the emperor, can he be ruthless to rectify the rule of officials?

He thought he had guessed His Majesty's thoughts, but in fact he had gone the wrong way. ”

The path turned a corner in front, and instead of continuing forward, the two turned and walked back.

"Despite this, he is still the strongest opponent of the fourth child......" Speaking of this, Wei Xiaobao did not continue, pondered for a while, and then said: "There is another possibility, Your Majesty may choose neither the fourth nor the eighth, but choose another ......."

Jia Liyu reminded: "Fourteen?"

Wei Xiaobao nodded, but did not analyze it, it was probably a kind of speculation that came out of nowhere.

Kangxi hesitated between the eighth and fourth, knowing that the two of them were fighting fiercely, and no matter which one was chosen, the other might not end well.

In order to avoid fratricidal brothers, they simply don't choose either, but choose the fourteenth elder brother, so that the eighth and fourth can assist the fourteenth with peace of mind, give full play to their talents, and balance each other.

After listening to Wei Xiaobao's analysis, Jia Liyu secretly praised in his heart, he is worthy of being a man who has wrestled with Kangxi, and he really thinks about Kangxi's mind more thoroughly, judging from historical facts, Kangxi may have really experienced a similar mental journey.

The seizure of the nine sons has been an unsolved case so far, and Jia Liyu is still quite interested in the truth of this history, which is why he took the south study to walk.

"I haven't thanked my predecessors for their kindness. ”

Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "I can see that you are not interested in being an official, anyway, I am also leaving a way out for myself, you don't have to be polite." ”

Jia Liyu also smiled and said no more.

Wei Xiaobao pushed Jia Liyu to Kangxi, nothing more than hoping that Jia Liyu would play a vital role in the next succession, and then be smoothly incorporated into the Xinjun party.

A day later, Wei Xiaobao and Jia Liyu went to visit Kangxi together, this visit was actually a farewell, that night, Wei Xiaobao quietly got up and went back to Dali, and Kangxi also drove back to the palace.

The day after Kangxi returned to the palace, Jia Li Yunan's identity in the study was clearly revealed, and at the same time, several other elder brothers finally found out that the fourth brother had found out their old friend of Huang Ama and arranged for them to meet.

Hearing this news, the Eight Kings Party was a little restless, they were still playing with the eldest brother, how could they kill a Yinzhen halfway?

Then, what is the way to walk in the south study? Is it also the fourth person?

After some analysis of the cocoon, they finally put the breakthrough on Jia Liyu.

Two days later, Nanshufang walked Jia Liyu into Beijing, this time he did not go back to Jiafu directly, but bought a small courtyard elsewhere in the capital.

Since he was inevitably involved in the turmoil of seizing the heir, it was naturally not good to continue to stay in Jiafu, of course, his own mansion was actually Jiafu.

In the evening, he went to see Lin Daiyu and Jia Tanchun and heard a not very pleasant news. (To be continued.) )
