Chapter 125: Jinghai Hou Shi Lang
"Actually, these words I have given you may not be acceptable to those in the court, but they will certainly be of great benefit to you. Of course, as for whether you listen to it or not, whether you say it to others or not, that's your own business, anyway, as long as you get out of this tent, anything that happens in the future has nothing to do with me......"
After only one night in Horqin, Yinchu said goodbye to his uncle Zhuo Suotu and hurried to Ulan Butong with French and Russian envoys. After receiving Kangxi's decree there, he rushed back to Beijing with Fei Yaoduo and Henri Louis non-stop.
Along the way, Henri Louis, the French prince, was nearly thrown apart, and Fedoro did not feel much better. However, Yinchu was not in the mood to pay attention to these, his mind had been immersed in the shock of the few suggestions Luo Xin gave him!
"What a clever woman. I thought that she would have this status because of Mo Jing, but now it seems that she ...... If she is a man and not a pillar of the country, it is enough to become a generation of power traitors! Luo Xin's words were especially in his ears, and Yinzhen secretly made such an evaluation of this woman. At the same time, he no longer dared to despise anyone who was with Luo Xin, including Yu Zhong, who he thought was only because of the light of Mo Jing that he became the Admiral of Heilongjiang Customs.

"Big brother, you can come back, the emperor is waiting for you!"
Sending Fei Yao Doro and Henri Louis to the post house to rest, Yinchu immediately entered the palace to see Kangxi, never thinking that Kangxi had been waiting for him for several days. Li Dequan was even sent to the palace gate to greet him, which made him flattered.
"Li Dequan, where is Huang Ama now?" Walking in front on his own, Yinchu asked Li Dequan.
"In the upper study, I am waiting for you with a few ministers! Alas, there are so many things going on these days, Long Live Lord and several Xiangye, as well as Master Li Guangdi, have been discussing endlessly. Long live the Lord also sent people to Nanjing, I heard that he wanted to call Wei Junmen back......" Li Dequan looked a little talkative.
"Wei Dongting is coming back too?" Suddenly hearing this name, even Yinfu was taken aback. Could it be that there is really something big about it?
"Isn't it? said that Wei Junmen hadn't fished it out to Beijing for many years, so he panicked. Actually, didn't Wei Junmen come back when the Empress Dowager had her birthday? Alas, Long Live Lord is really tired these days, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of recruiting Wei Junmen back...... Speaking of which, after all, Wei Junmen is still intimate with Long Live Lord! Li Dequan continued.
"......" Yinchu didn't ask anything more, he only felt that something was not quite right. Could it be that there were other major events happening in the capital when he was away? Otherwise, just the things he knows so far may not make Kangxi so cautious, right?
……
Yin Zhen didn't speak, and Li Dequan couldn't speak again, and the two of them silently passed through the gate of the Daodao Palace and went straight to the study.
……
The upper study room is in the southeast of the Qianqing Palace, and the north is facing. Because Kangxi loves to read and is knowledgeable, he has collected a lot of books. Later, with the increasing number of books, the study of the Qianqing Palace could not be opened, so Kangxi opened up a separate house to store books. In addition, Kangxi thinks: the upper one, respect also; The bookmaker, Qing also; The housekeeper hides also. Therefore, this place of book collection was named: the upper study.
The upper study is different from the south study, the south study is the place where Kangxi listens to the minister's lectures and scrutinizes each other's knowledge, and the upper study is the place where Kangxi studies by himself. Later, because Kangxi met with the minister in the upper study, the number of times he handled state affairs increased day by day to a certain regulation, which led to the position of walking in the study and even the minister of the study, until he became synonymous with the prime minister.
Yinchu and Li Dequan came to the door of the upper study, and their own imperial guards went in to report to Kangxi, and Li Dequan did not wait here because he was a eunuch, but returned to the Qianqing Palace to wait.
"Big brother, the emperor let you in......" It was Su Lun who was on duty in front of Kangxi today, but it was precisely because Su Lun was here that Yinchu's heart felt a little blurred. …… Isn't it a big deal, will Kangxi let the first guard in front of the emperor guard outside?
"There's Lord Laosu!" Hearing that Kangxi let him in, Yinchu immediately bowed down to show his order, and gestured to Su Lun.
"Big brother, please!" Suron got out of the way and made a gesture of please.
……
Yin Zhen walked into the upper study with square steps, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
Sure enough, everything is as Li Dequan said, not only the four ministers are in the study at this moment, but even Li Guangdi, the governor of Zhili, who has been the first alternate prime minister for more than ten years, is also there. In addition to these five heavyweights in the court, Yinchu also met three other people.
One is Chen Tingjing, who is also the veteran before Kangxi's driving; The second is an old man with a purple face and two white faces, this old man is wearing a first-class military attache uniform, wearing a ruby crown on his head, and his appearance is ordinary. However, in this appearance, which seemed very ordinary at first glance, Yinzhen faintly felt a trace of chill and coercion, just like when he first saw Feiyang Gu; However, such a figure who is very likely to be an important military general before Kangxi's driving, Yinchu has no impression at all, and even among those who have heard of it, he can't find anyone who meets him.
However, neither of these two people can attract the greatest attention of Yinchu, and what Yinchu is most concerned about is the young man standing beside Kangxi, wearing a four-clawed apricot yellow dragon robe, and a white face.
"Erchen Yinchu, please say hello to Huang Ama!" It's just that after being surprised for a little time in his heart, Yinchu crossed the ministers, walked to the Kangxi Imperial Case, and kowtowed.
"Get up! …… Yinchu, are you okay this way? How's everything going? Kangxi called his eldest son up and asked in a harmonious voice.
"Please forgive the Emperor Amma! When the son first arrived in Nebuchu, he encountered the envoys of Russia and France, and he did not dare to stay longer for fear of urgency! Therefore, what Huang Ama delivered was not completed! ......," replied Yinchu, bowing down.
"Hmm. There are priorities, and it's no wonder you! Well, since the Russians have a request for me, and they are fighting in the West, they will not disturb our borders, and there is no hurry to inspect the military affairs of Heilongjiang......" Kangxi said.
"The son of Emperor Xie Ama is not guilty!" bowed to Kangxi again, and Yinchu turned his face to the young man standing beside Kangxi, clasped his fists and saluted: "Yinchu has seen the crown prince, His Royal Highness the prince is fine!" ”
"Big brother doesn't have to be polite! …… Big brother is well! The crown prince Yinren bowed slightly, which was regarded as a return to Yinren.
"His Royal Highness Prince Lao asked, the minister has always been fine!" Yinchu replied with a fist clenched.
"The minister (minion) has seen the big brother! ...... "The royal people finished the salute, and then it was the turn of the ministers, headed by Tong Guowei, and the ministers in the study also bowed to Yinchu together, which was polite.
……
"I don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and all the adults came together, but for the Russians to 'borrow troops'?" After the troublesome etiquette, Yinchu asked Kangxi again. In the process of reporting to Kangxi, he had already explained to Kangxi the intentions of Fei and Doro, so he asked this question.
"Not bad! I can't imagine that this Russian would actually think of asking my Qing generals to protect them...... This matter has indeed made me and my servants feel a little embarrassed! After all, this is something that has never been done before, there is no precedent to follow, and it is difficult to decide! Kangxi replied with a smile, with a little embarrassment and a little mockery in his smile, of course, this mockery was obviously to the Russians. Although it felt a little unusual, Kangxi was not interested in worrying about things thousands of miles away.
"I wonder what your lords are suggesting?" Yinchu looked at the important ministers of the court on both sides, and asked Kangxi again.
"Oh? Yinchu, you ask this, what do you think? Okay, Li Guangdi, you can tell Yinchu about it......" Hearing Yinchu ask, Kangxi seemed very happy, nodded at Li Guangdi, and said.
"Obey the order!" Lee held his fists widely. He knew why Kangxi chose him to answer Yinchu's question. When they were discussing things just now, the four ministers in the upper study room had their own suggestions, and they were fighting each other, so naturally they couldn't let these four court centers open their mouths again, so as not to attack people again. Let him come forward is to let him act as an intermediary and tell everyone's suggestions plainly.
"The Russians begged for a general, but Tong Xiang thought that the content would not be so simple, and he was afraid that there would be treacherous schemes, so he thought that he could not be ignored; Gao Xiang thought that the border between our Qing Dynasty and Russia was extremely wide, and Russia's national strength was quite strong in Europa, even if it was defeated by the enemy, it would be very easy to recover. If they refuse, it will not only put the Mongolian tribes who cherish their homeland in a dilemma, and it will be difficult for them to tolerate Russia in the future, but it will also easily arouse the Russians' temperament, which is not conducive to the stability of China's northern Xinjiang. As for Ma Xiang, he believes that our Qing Dynasty not only has diplomatic relations with Russia, but also has relations with most of the other countries in Europa, and the customs of the four southern provinces offer tens of millions of customs cents to the imperial court every year, far exceeding the Heilongjiang Customs, so it is not appropriate to offend other countries for one Russia; And Zhang Xiang thought that this 'borrowing general' thing could or should not be ......"
"In this way, Tong Xiang and Ma Xiang both think that they should refuse Russia's loan, Gao Xiang thinks that it should be allowed, and Zhang Xiang thinks that this matter is not a big deal and is not worthy of such attention, I don't know what Yinfu said is right?" After listening to this, Yinfu asked everyone again.
"What the eldest brother said is good, the four of us are indeed as you said, and they have different opinions! ......" Tong Guowei replied.
"I don't know Governor Li and Chen Shangshu, as well as this ......" Yinchu looked at the old military general who didn't know and hesitated.
"Oh, this is Shi Lang of Jinghai who pacified Taiwan for my Qing Dynasty, Yinchu, you have to ask Shi Aiqing for more advice in the future!" Kangxi was stunned for a moment when he saw Yinzhen, so he sat on the dragon chair and introduced him to him.
"Jinghai Hou Shi Lang?" Yin Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then a thought popped up in his mind: "Could it be that Huang Ama wants to use troops against Japan?" ”
