Chapter Ninety-Four: The Beginning of the Storm
Fight is not fighting, not fighting is fighting, this is difficult to say, it is more difficult to do, it is completely a tightrope work, there is no excellent skill, what awaits you is definitely the end of broken bones and no place to die. What is fighting, of course, is to compete for the big position, if you do something contrary to this article, it is doing useless work; What is indisputable, that is, don't show your ambition to compete for the big position, at least don't let the old man Kangxi perceive your ambition.
Without merit, in the eyes of the old man Kangxi, he is a waste talent, and there is no possibility of being on top at all. If you don't have enough people at your hands in this year, you don't want to do anything, then you won't get credit, at least not a big credit. But the problem comes out: there are more people under his hands, and the power is greater, then it will offend the bottom line of the old man Kangxi, once this is the case, what awaits you is definitely a large board, since ancient times, the master of high merit or the powerful minister often has no end, unless you have the ability to kill the emperor and take the throne yourself.
The old man Kangxi is a powerful emperor, and he will never allow the court to have characters or forces that threaten him, even his own son, so that the degree between fighting and not fighting must be grasped well, and if one is not careful, he will lose everything. Yinzuo didn't think about fighting, what he showed was not fighting, not forming a gang among the courtiers, and now even if he wants to fight, he still can't form a gang among the courtiers, but fighting is to have merit and ability, then you must do any thing that the old man gave you, so that the old man can look at it differently.
At this time, there are two things that fall on Yinzuo's head: one is to clear the arrears, including the three major areas of the river work, Caoyun, and the two rivers, the river work and the Caoyun are basically considered to have completed the task of clearing the arrears, and half of the ground of the two rivers has been cleared, and the remaining prefectures and counties that have passed the flood will not be able to complete the task of clearing the arrears in any case, and the only thing that can be done is to ask for a reduction or exemption of local taxes, and help these prefectures and counties to survive the difficulties first. In terms of the character of the old man Kangxi, there is no risk of being voted back for the tax reduction and exemption. The matter of settling the debt can be generally regarded as completed, and if you add the excerpt of the fire consumption to the public, the matter of settling the debt can be regarded as a full score.
The second thing is the rectification of river work and water transportation. This matter is related to the shipping excerpt, through the sea to replace the transport, in addition to saving a lot of river work, the cost of transport, but also by the way to create a lot of fertile land. The plan is beautiful, but there are many obstacles to its implementation, which requires building momentum, and it is necessary to win over and divide the gang of brothers and important ministers in the court; And to achieve this goal, we must first muddy the waters, so that we can take advantage of the chaos and attack one fortress by virtue of the chips in our hands, which is why Yinzuo wants to pit the fourth hand, although it is a conspiracy, but it is really more Yangmou:
The fourth child took over the task of paying off the debt, no matter whether Yinzuo did it or not, he had to do this offending thing, even if it was started by the local government, he would eventually have to face the challenge of the brother and the clan, it was just a matter of time. The bureau set up by Yinzuo is actually a yang conspiracy, and he has set up a clear position for you to learn, not only for you to learn, but also to tell you how to do it, of course, the only thing that is not said is how to face the counterattack of those brothers. Yinzuo's purpose in doing this is to disrupt the situation in a short period of time, so that he can catch up when he returns to Beijing - when he returns to Beijing, he has to start the folding of shipping, otherwise how to solve the problem of river engineering, if the situation is not chaotic, there is no possibility of taking advantage of the chaos.
Yinzuo had already told Liu Chang'e to pay attention to the dynamics of the imperial court, especially the reaction of the brothers, only three days after the farce on the last night of Kangxi's thirty-fifth year, Yinzuo received the accurate news sent through the flying pigeon, no, he immediately summoned Guo Xiu and Lin Xuanyi to discuss this matter.
"Sir, what do you think of this? Isn't it time to go according to plan? Yinzuo handed over the information sent to Lin Xuanyi's hands.
Lin Xuanyi finished reading the small note in his hand, pondered for a while, and said, "The fire is not enough, we have to add another fire." ”
"Add fire?" Yinzuo was slightly stunned.
"Yes, you can hand over the excerpt of the fire consumption to the public first, and burn the fire more vigorously." Lin Xuanyi calmly analyzed: "In the current situation, the saints will definitely play fifty boards each, and the matter of paying off the arrears will also stop because of this, and the ministers of the DPRK and China will also be adjusted, although the situation will be chaotic for a while, but it will soon be stabilized, and when we return to the capital, it is estimated that the situation in the DPRK will be calm, which is not conducive to our plan to take advantage of the chaos." If this fire is returned to the public, the DPRK and China will inevitably set off big waves, and the chaos will last at least until the moment we return to Beijing. ”
"Yes, the excerpt is from this king, whether those sub-court officials are against it or in favor, they have to wait until this king returns to Beijing to know what the truth is, okay! Lord Guo immediately sent out this fold in an urgent manner for six hundred miles. Yinzuo said with a smile.
In this era, the file transmission relied on the post station, generally every 20 miles there was a post station, once the official document that needed to be transmitted was marked with the words "immediately fly", it must be transmitted at a speed of 300 miles per day according to the regulations. In case of emergency, the speed of transmission can reach 400 miles, 600 miles, and as fast as 800 miles per day. When delivering urgent documents, each post station uses fast horses, so that although it is not a thousand miles horse, each horse can run desperately and can travel thousands of miles in a day.
Of course, Yinzuo hopes that the excerpt in his hand can be rushed to Beijing as soon as possible, at least when the first morning court is opened on the eighth day of the first month of the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi, but this fold is not that the military situation cannot be transmitted with 800 li expedited, at most it can only be expedited with 600 li, but the calculation time can also be sent to Beijing the day before the opening of the dynasty, which is enough.
The Spring Festival is over, but the spring has not really arrived, Beijing Shili only fell last night a heavy snow, the sky is very freezing, such weather is most suitable is to lie in the warm quilt to sleep lazy, if there is a beautiful lady upstairs to warm the quilt, it is even more beautiful. However, such good things are in the capital, only those people can enjoy it, but the court officials do not have this blessing.
Other elder brothers and courtiers even if they went to the court were the third watch, but the fourth elder brother Yinzhen had to set off on the third watch, for no other reason, just because his house was outside the city, so he had to do so. Today is the first dynasty of the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi, although eight days have passed since the turmoil on Chinese New Year's Eve, but Yin Chen is still in a bad mood, but there is no reason to be late or not to go, the second more got up, carefully freshened up, hastily used some white porridge and set off in a palanquin.
As soon as he entered the city gate, he heard a commotion in the front guard group, and Yinzhen, who was already in a depressed mood, was even more angry at this time, and ordered the sedan chair to stop, and asked angrily: "What's the noise?" ”
Yin Zhen is cold and mean, his majesty is extremely strict, and he can't tolerate mistakes, but if there is a small mistake, there is no reason to forgive, and the minions and guards under him are not less law-to-family because of trivial matters. Everyone knows that their master has been angry recently, and they are all very restrained, so they are afraid that they will accidentally offend their master, eat the head of the chop, and be whipped, at this time they heard Yinzhen's slightly angry voice, and suddenly calmed down, and after a while, it was the big housekeeper Gao Fuer who woke up first, leaned on the side of the sedan chair, and said calmly: "Master, there is a wounded man with a broken leg in front of him, blocking the way, and the minions will carry him away." ”
"The wounded?" Yin Zhen groaned for a while and said, "What kind of injured person?" ”
"If you go back to your master, you look like a scholar who came to Beijing to take the exam." Gao Fu'er had seen the injured man who fell in the middle of the road before, and he answered quickly at this moment.
Yinzhen has believed in Buddhism since he was a child, and he is full of compassion, of course, he is basically verbal skills, but his hands are ruthless, but he has occasionally helped some poor people, and he has also gained some good reputation. At this time, I heard that it was an injured scholar, and I felt compassion for a while, and ordered: "Come here, send the injured back to the house first, and take care of them, and ask again when the king goes down to the court." ”
This is a trivial matter, naturally there are a group of subordinates to be busy, Yinzhen gave an order and let people get up and go straight to the palace. In the final analysis, Yinzhen is like saving a chicken and a duckling, he didn't take this matter to heart at all, don't say anything to ask when he goes back, I'm afraid that there will be no accident, he won't remember this matter for three or five years, not to mention that this morning dynasty is too important to Yinzhen, whether it is a blessing or a curse, you can see it immediately, how can you use your mind on the injured scholar of unknown origin.
Yinzhen arrived early, and the palace was still very deserted at this time, except for a few middle-level officials such as Zhang Jing and Shangshu who were on duty in the palace, the other elder brothers and important ministers did not even have a shadow. Yinzhen has a lot of worries these days, and he hasn't rested at all, and he got up early today, so he was a little sleepy at this time, and said hello to those Zhang Jing, and sat on the chair in the corner of the room by himself, tilting his head and napping, until the eunuchs shouted "Shang Chao" in the palace, he woke up, hurriedly tidied up his appearance, and walked towards the main hall of Qianqing Palace with the court officials......
