Looking at the prince, Yin Zhen groaned slightly, and said: "Forgive the minister's brother one more word, the matter of asking for the prince has passed in time, and it is useless for the prince to mention it again." $*-*$ "Fast" Although the prince was silent, as if he still minded himself, he didn't stop, and said slowly: "It turns out that if you are above the ninefold level, you can see the common people like dogs, and you can rejoice with a word and die with a word." After that, he looked at the ground and was silent. Yin Zhen was also said to be a little trance-like, and fell into deep thought.

In the forty-third year of Kangxi, the prince was seriously ill in Dezhou, Kangxi called Suo Etu to serve the sick, and soon after the prince recovered from his illness and returned to Beijing, he issued an order to Suo Etu Sona Zongren Mansion, not only Suo Etu was imprisoned, but his two sons Gelfin and Aljishan were also detained. It really caused an uproar between the government and the opposition. There is a bit of ambiguity when it comes to Suo Etu's sin in the will, pointing out that he complained behind his back, discussed state affairs, had bad intentions, and did not abide by the etiquette system during the service of Texas, and jumped his horse to the middle gate of the palace and went down.

For Yinzhen, among the holy decrees, the most intriguing words are none other than the sentence "This is what you should die". One of Suo Etu's crimes: to the minister to talk about the government. If this is a capital crime, I am afraid that few of the people who are wise will still be alive. The second sin: the matter of riding a horse to the middle gate is only a trivial matter. In the past, when Suo Etu was the minister of the interior, he also had the grace of riding a horse in the Forbidden City, why did it become a sin to ride a horse when he arrived at the palace? If these two paragraphs are not the reason for Suo Etu's confinement, then what made Kangxi so angry?

Previously, the rumors that Suo Etu and the crown prince were "plotting big things" in Texas had reached Yinzhen's ears, and he originally thought it was just some unsubstantiated statements, but after seeing that sentence, Yinzhen knew that Kangxi must have believed this statement. is the only one who really asks for his life. Yin Zhen pondered, the execution of Suo Etu, in a sense, was Kangxi's clearest warning to the prince, and it could be regarded as Kangxi's helpless move to keep the prince under Kangxi's weighing. It's just that the prince may not be able to understand Kangxi's hard work.

I remember that in the summer of forty-three years, when he was looking at Dezhou, Yinzhen had seen Zhang Pengxi, the governor of the river, list Suo Etu's family among the excerpts when he recommended officials to Kangxi according to his routine. At that time, Kangxi just smiled lightly and approved the stay. Waiting for the encirclement of the exalt, Zhang Pengxi was in a panic all day long, and he was anxious to ask for the guilt, Kangxi's Zhu Batching actually was: "Ask Er's heart, is it a lackey of Suo Etu?" Zhang Pengxi was shocked, and then folded up, and confessed his sins in a thousand words, almost scolding himself with blood, so that he could be forgiven, and if Rao was so, it was inevitable that he would be demoted to three levels and retained. From this disposition, not only Yinzhen, but also the government and the opposition can draw the conclusion that only the crown prince's position is afraid that it will hinder it. What's more, on August 21 of that year, when Kangxi talked about his dealings with Suo Etu in his edict, he also said, "I do not pursue self-completion of this matter." Among the "unfinishable", does it also include the uneasy crown prince Yinren?

Yinzhen's speculation is not much different from the situation at the time. There is only one thing that Yinzhen doesn't know, but it leads to Kangxi's anger at Suo Etu. Wang Hongxu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, once submitted a secret fold, in which he was impeached for the crime of defrauding and buying women in Dezhou by the prince's entourage: Guan Zhangjing had already bought three women; Chen Shi'an, a dismissed official, bought a woman to seek official positions from the crown prince; the guard Maizi bought many women, the exact number of which has not yet been clarified; Fan Boqian, the former governor of Zhouzhou, was given a royal arrow because he had entered the flower, so he used the imperial arrow to deceive, pretending to be a member of the imperial court, and forcibly bought nine daughters of the common people, one prostitute, and one child to give to the prince; There are still many buyers, or they buy themselves, or buy to make friends with important people, all of them are fabricated names and deceived into a game", and their real names and surnames are difficult to find out one by one. What particularly annoyed Kangxi was that Wang Hongxu said that Fan Bo and others had made friends with the imperial guards and the deacons of various elder brothers' mansions, and the information was very good. Among them, the guard Maizi is the brother of Aljishan, the son of Suo Etu, and Fan Boyuan is also the person recommended by Suo Etu.

In addition, although Wang Hongxu's secret music is more subtle between words, after Kangxi's view, it is known that the crown prince and some of the princes are involved in this matter, and I am afraid that many folk women have fallen into the hands of these unscrupulous sons. After Chen Pengnian's events in Texas, Kangxi knew the depth of the prince's greed, and he was already thinking about it. Previously, he had dealt with Haha Zhuse and the palace servants who had an affair with the prince, and he hoped that the prince would know about it and change it, but he didn't want Yinren to be unable to clean himself and self-discipline. Soon after returning to Beijing, it was rumored in the palace that the prince and Suo Etu's two sons were doing the rabbit master, although Kangxi endured it, he inevitably sprinkled all his anger on Suo Etu's family. Therefore, he asked for the forehead map and circled his two sons.

What shocked Kangxi even more was that Wang Hongxu wrote quite worriedly in the secret compromise: "The Lord acts cautiously and secretly, and people cannot fathom it, and it is beyond the reach of the emperors of the ages." But I'm afraid that the time has been different recently, there is a peek at the supreme movement, and the beggar lord is secretly on guard, without revealing lightly, experiencing things casually, and naturally insightful. Kangxi's mind involuntarily appeared Yinren's figure. All the above evil things about the prince are like boulders pressing on Kangxi's heart one after another. He couldn't help but wonder: Is the country passed down from his ancestors really going to be handed over to such a disloyal, unfilial, greedy, and lustful person?

Seeing that Yinzhen was silent for a long time, Yinren smiled and said, "Is it the second brother, for no reason to say these taboo words, it will make you embarrassed." Listening to Yinren's half-exculpatory and half-inquiring words, Yinzhen collected his thoughts and arched his hand: "The law is not passed on to the six ears, it is nothing more than a private conversation between brothers." The little brother knows it. "Well" to Yinzhen's reply, the prince was slightly satisfied, and said: "I heard that the eighth brother invited all the brothers to eat wine for his blessing and birthday?" Yinzhen nodded and said: "Yes, the younger brother will discuss with the Internal Affairs Office tomorrow about the siege of the emperor Ama Qiuqi, and he may not be able to pass through the palace. The smile on the prince's face was even stronger: "Now that the eighth brother is gaining prestige between the government and the opposition, even the eldest brother has prepared a heavy gift to go to his door." The fourth brother's mansion is adjacent to the eighth brother, but it is close and far away?" Yin Zhen smiled indifferently and said: "The younger brother is on official business, and the eighth brother has always been reasonable, and he will not be surprised when he thinks about it, and he can't talk about near and far. The prince waved his hand and said, "I know that you are a light as water, you are the same as the thirteenth brother, you are careful to be an errand and a person with your heart." If the brothers are like you, the second brother and I will have much more peace of mind.

Then the two of them each praised and thanked each other, and gradually pulled away the topic at the beginning, and most of the things they talked about were just floating words and had little meaning. Only the prince inadvertently mentioned the sentence "I figured it out, Huang Ama has recently had the intention of dividing several of you adult princes...... which made Yinzhen's heart churn when he heard it.
