Don't talk about anything else.

Since Kangxi summoned Yu Zhongren once, somehow, the Xingtou of the Southern Tour suddenly lost a lot. Although he still walked and stopped, and when he got to some good places, he would get off the dragon boat to have a while, but Gao Shiqi, Zhang Tingyu and others who were with him could still see that the emperor's interest was not as strong as at the beginning of the southern tour, and even Ma Qi, who had always been a little dull, noticed it.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Gao Shiqi and Zhang Tingyu and others, as close ministers of Kangxi, accompanied the monarch, and the emperor had something on his mind, so he should naturally relieve his worries as much as possible, but Kangxi didn't say it, and they only kept their doubts in their hearts, but they added a little more caution in words and actions.

However, Kangxi is not the only one who has something on his mind, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, who returned from sacrificing Mount Tai, has also been worrying about some things recently.

After thinking about it several times, Nian Qianyao, who was far away in Taiwan, finally did not dare to hide the matter from him, and wrote to him to leak the news that the Fujian Navy Division was planning to attack Japan, and at the same time, he also mentioned in passing that the reason why the Fujian Navy Division had this plan was all because of Yu Zhong's encouragement. And at the end of the letter, Nian Qianyao asked him what to do.

What to do?

Yinzhen has been worrying about this for the past few days. Serving the emperor, although it has not been a few days since he met Yu Zhong, he can still feel how prosperous Yu Zhong's holy family is at this moment. In his eyes, Kangxi had an almost partial trust in the incoming Sichuan governor. Although Kangxi did not summon Yu Zhong again in the past few days after he returned, from the words of everyone, he still felt that Kangxi's trust in Zhong might even be above the four ministers in the study. It's simply an outlier.

Therefore, in this case, if he secretly forwarded the matter reported by Nian Qianyao to Kangxi, it is really difficult to say what kind of consequences will be caused! However, if things can't develop for the better, even if he is fine, Nian Qianyao will definitely be severely suppressed by Zhong and Lan Li...... It was not easy for him to have such a little power, but he couldn't stand the toss.

However, if he didn't report it, he was a little unwilling. Looking at what the middle people have always done, since they killed Ge Li and saved almost the entire army of the Western Expedition, Kangxi has trusted them and gradually entrusted them with important tasks. In addition, these people have always been self-respecting, no matter who they are, there are few who can shake their status. Now, it is rare that Yu Zhong is in some trouble, and if he can take this opportunity to suppress this person, he will definitely be able to get huge support from the prince's party. Although from the letters of Wu Sidao and others, he is sure that Yinren's position as the crown prince will not be imprisoned nine times out of ten, but the prince is the prince after all, as long as he reigns for one day, he will always have the advantage of being justified, and he will always have the support of a large force. Nothing else, if the crown prince and his gang could push Nian Qianyao back to Manchuria, it would be enough for him to steal the fun. Yu Zhong is also the admiral of Heilongjiang Customs, often not in Vladivostok, and the old team of Manchurian sailors is almost all trained by Nian Qianyao! Therefore, those who can easily master the Manchurian Naval Division, looking at the entire imperial court, there are currently only two people, Yu Zhong and his fourth elder brother Yinzhen. And what does the Manchurian sailor represent? Strength and wealth, and deterrence! With such an army in hand, no matter who it is, he cannot be regarded as an insignificant person, and his status will inevitably rise greatly, which will be more conducive to his future calculations. Even if he can't grab the position of the prince, he can sell it at a good price and sell himself at a good price!

The support of the prince's party is likely to be severely suppressed by Yu Zhong and Lan Li...... Yinzhen felt that he was in a dilemma.

"Fourth brother!"

Just when Yinzhen felt a little embarrassed, his cabin door was pushed open, and a teenager walked in.

"Old Thirteen, what's the matter?" Looking at this thirteenth brother who pretended to be old with his hands behind his back and walked Dada into the walk, Yinzhen had to temporarily let go of his feelings of gain and loss, and asked instead.

"Nothing. Fourth brother, what are you doing hiding in the cabin alone? Isn't there something good hidden? Thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang's eyes rolled, glanced around Yinzhen's cabin, looked up, and asked with a smile. (The real Yinxiang was born in the twenty-fifth year of Kangxi, and should have been seventeen years old at this time, and this book made him a few years late)

"What's the good thing? Even if there is, you have robbed it! Yin Zhen said angrily.

"Where? Fourth brother, you can't wronged me! I just took a copy of the "Diamond Sutra" from you, and it's not a unique classic, do you need to take it to heart? Besides, I took it to honor my mother, this is filial piety, fourth brother, you can't say that I did something wrong, right? Yinxiang laughed.

"It took me more than a month to copy that "Diamond Sutra", and you didn't ask me first, and you only left a sentence for your subordinates and snatched it, are you embarrassed to say?" Yinzhen glared at Yinxiang and reprimanded.

"Alas, fourth brother, you are the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, why do you still care about this? …… Let's go, I'll take you to see the excitement, it's all right? Yinxiang laughed dryly, pulled Yinzhen and walked out of the cabin.

"What's the excitement? I can tell you, you will not be allowed to disembark without the permission of the Emperor! Yinzhen thought that Yinxiang wanted to pull him off the boat to the shore to play, and hurriedly said. Kangxi Nan patrolled the canal, although there were escorts along the way, but Yinxiang, this kid is too lively, in case he goes crazy, where to find someone? His thirteenth brother is now one of the most favored princes in the palace, not to mention his biological mother, what kind of identity is that Dunmin Imperial Concubine, even Concubine Hui, the eldest elder brother, and the eighth elder brother attach great importance to this kid, if something happens to him, the consequences are not something that anyone can predict.

"Fourth brother, where do you think about it? I'm not going to get off the ship! Yinxiang rolled his eyelids, and smiled at Yinzhen again: "Just now Yu Chenglong and Chen Huang, the governor of river affairs, arrived, and Huang Ama summoned the ministers, but they quarreled without knowing what was going on. It's going to be bustling with the main cabin right now. I said fourth brother, I took you to see our brother take you to see it......"

"Got a quarrel in the main cabin?" Yin Zhen was slightly surprised in his heart, but seeing Yin Xiang slightly showing a little eagerness, he immediately understood what this kid was thinking. This muddy boy, obviously he wants to see the excitement, and he is afraid of being trained, so he pretends to be kind enough to come and pull himself along, in that case, even if he wants to be trained, it is all taken care of by him, who is the brother, this kid must have nothing to do. Thinking of this, Yin Zhen suddenly had a little disgust for this thirteenth brother, what he was most annoying about was that others were playing with his heart and eyes in front of him, and now this thirteenth brother was only a little older and began to play with his heart eyes, wouldn't he be a dangerous master in the future? What is especially terrifying is that Yinxiang has far more powerful latent power than other princes.

"Fourth brother, aren't you? Why are you distracted again? I'm really convinced! Let's go, if you don't leave, you won't have a good show! ...... "Yinxiang didn't expect that his fourth brother thought so much at this moment, seeing that Yinzhen was not very interested after hearing the news he brought, but was stunned, and suddenly felt bored, thinking that if he went late, there would be no excitement to see, and in a hurry, he pulled Yinzhen and walked out of the cabin. Yin Zhen hesitated for a moment, and finally followed him out.

……

No one in the main cabin where Kangxi was arguing, after all, arguing in front of the emperor was a crime of "dereliction", so the parties just called their own behavior "arguments".

It's just that they argued a little fiercely.

And it's no wonder. If it's just Feiyang Gu, Yu Zhong, and Shi Shiji, it's okay, but among the people recalled by Kangxi this time, there are still reckless people like Lan Li and Wan Zhengse, plus Yu Chenglong, who came with Chen Huang, once they fight, they can't think about it without being fierce.

What's more, they are arguing about a very complicated topic, that is, "war and peace".

The provocation of the topic all comes down to Yu Zhong's fellow sect, Yu Jackie Chan's "provocation"!

Originally, in the past few years, Thomas Made's blessing, Yu Jackie Chan has the help of Anhui, a developing province, and the two provinces have helped each other and mutual benefit, cooperated tacitly, and had a harmonious relationship. However, this does not mean that Yu Chengchan will show much affection when he sees Yu Zhong, in fact, on the contrary, Yu Chenglong, who is familiar with the hardships of the people's lives, is almost opposed to any war, because the Qing Dynasty has always been the rule to spread the cost of the war on the heads of the people. When Kangxi went west to conquer Geerdan, Yu Chenglong was still the governor of Jiangsu, and he was asked to collect millions of stone military rations every year, but now he still feels sorry for the people of Jiangsu. Now Yu Zhong actually fought again, and it was still moral, belonging to the kind of "want to add crimes, there are no words", of course he is not happy. In his opinion, Yu Zhong is looking for trouble, although he has made a lot of profits for a while, but it has made the imperial court add an enemy country for no reason, and if something happens in the future, it will inevitably double the loss of today's income. At that time, it was not the ordinary people who were unlucky? Therefore, out of the sense of responsibility of "taking the world as his own responsibility", on the way here, Yu Chengchan thought about starting to impeach Yu Zhong, although Chen Huang knew, but he knew that if he couldn't stop it, he would be looking for guilt, so he simply didn't know anything, and let Jackie Chan make a fuss by himself.

However, although Yu Chengchan is powerful, he has found the wrong place this time. At this moment, it is not only Yu Zhong who is following Kangxi, Lan Li and Wan Zhengse are much more belligerent than Yu Zhong, and they are also much more irritable, especially Lan Li is also planning to learn from Yu Zhong and go to the east to do a vote, naturally Yu Chengchan can't let Yu Chengchan set the tone, otherwise, wouldn't all the plans be in vain? He's old, and he hasn't been jumping for a few years! If he can't fight this time, after a while, even if Kangxi doesn't let him retreat, I'm afraid he won't have that energy.

Therefore, when Yu Jackie Chan impeached Yu Zhong for "tyrannical and unkind, reckless war, not conducive to the country, and harmful to the people", Lan Li couldn't help but come out and ridicule a few words, saying that Yu Jackie Chan is "a woman's benevolence, empty words of benevolence and righteousness, not enough to achieve great things".

With this as a start, the debate reached a climax from the very beginning. Yu Chenglong singled out the generals, and the argument became more and more intense, and the "quarrel" that Yinxiang just referred to was referring to this. However, fortunately, there is Kangxi on the side, plus Gao Shiqi and others in the middle and the mud, and Yu Zhong, the person who was directly attacked, also showed some grace, Yu Chengchan and Lan Li and others gradually began to be reasonable from-for-tat, so that Yu Jackie Chan had the advantage, Lan Li and Wan Zhengse, the two big bosses, only supported for a while and then were defeated, among the ranks of military generals, Shi Shiji still didn't say a word, and Feiyang Gu just smiled and watched coldly, leaving only Yu Zhong alone!

And when Yinzhen and Yinxiang arrived, they met Yu Chengchan and began to turn the muzzle of the gun to Yu Zhong to fire.

"Zigong asked the government, and Zi said: 'Enough food, enough soldiers, and the trust of the people.'" Zigong said: 'I must go as a last resort, which of the three comes first?' He said, 'Go to the army.' Zigong said: "I must go as a last resort, which of the two comes first?" He said, 'Go eat.' Since ancient times, there have been deaths, and the people have no faith and cannot stand. ’…… The country needs three, go to the army as the leader, now although I am in the Qing Dynasty, the country and the people are safe, but the people's life is not easy, but you are in vain to use the sword and soldiers, leaving harm to the people. In this way, there will be the possibility of forcing the people to 'eat' with soldiers, and the gentleman will not do it! ”

After speaking, Yu Chenglong stared at Yu Zhong without blinking.

"This ...... Lord Yu, I can only listen to what you say so-so. I think, you better just speak the vernacular, otherwise I will only sue you for disturbing the public and deliberately bullying people! Although the people around him had been bombarded by Yu Jackie Chan again and again, Yu Zhong did not feel nervous, but returned the sentence with a smile first.

"Lord Yu, Yu is saying that you use swords and soldiers in vain, so it will increase the burden on the people and force them to 'eat', and if you do this, it may cause chaos in the country!" Yu Zhong's ridicule did not make Yu Chenglong laugh, and the governor of Henan just explained his words again.

"No, no, Lord Yu, you just said, 'The people cannot stand without faith'. Lord Yu, you are a Jinshi, and your knowledge is a hundred times deeper than mine, so you must know what this 'faith' means, right? Yu Zhong still asked with a smile.

"Faith is integrity. If the court is not honest, the people will not believe it, and in this way, the authority will be unstable. This so-called 'if the country has no trust, the people do not regard it as a country'. Although Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty was not very good, his sentence was still good: 'If you have no faith, you will not be able to stand on your own feet, and you will not be able to die as peace.' Therefore it is better to die than to lose faith in the people, and the people would rather die than to lose faith in me. …… It is a person who thinks that he should lead his people and defend it to the death, and he will not abandon it because of danger. Gao Shiqi added with a smile.

"Hehe, Gao Xiang thinks that this 'faith' refers to 'integrity', does Lord Yu also think so?" Yu Zhong glanced at Gao Shiqi, and then asked Yu Chengchan.

"For thousands of years, since Confucius made this statement, 'faith' means 'integrity', is it possible that Lord Yu still has objections?" Yu Chenglong replied with a sneer. He just said that Yu Zhong's reckless use of sword soldiers may make the people "go to eat", but Yu Zhong mentioned the sentence "the people have no faith and cannot stand", avoiding such a question, obviously wanting to refute the "letter" left by Confucius who would rather "go to eat". However, he did not believe that Yu Zhong could find any articles from this "letter".

"I don't dare to disagree, but I have a little opinion!" Yu Zhong glanced at Yu Chenglong with a smile, then turned to look at Kangxi, and then continued: "I think that if the 'letter' proposed by Confucius is summarized by just one 'integrity', then everyone looks down on that saint too much!" ”

"Lord Yu, what do you mean by that?" Zhang Tingyu asked. Yu Zhong's hat buckle is big enough! Despise Confucius, if this word spreads, even if you don't die, you will have to peel off your skin.

"Faith should be 'faith'! The people cannot stand without faith, which means that the country should be the place where the people believe. Yu Zhong replied.

"Faith? As far as I know, these two words are often mentioned by Western clergy! Gao Shiqi smiled again.

"Yes, Western clergy often use the word 'faith' on their lips. It's not shallow, though! …… It must be admitted that Westerners are doing a decent job in this regard. At the very least, they will force themselves or take the initiative to believe something. In this way, I hope that I will sustenance my spirit. Yu Zhong said.

"Then may I ask Lord Yu, what do you think 'faith' is? Is it God or something? Marzi asked.

"Of course it's not that simple! …… Faith can be said to be a person's enduring belief in ideals, or it can be said to be a person's instinctive pursuit. However, it is precisely because of instinct that it is difficult to find any basis for believing in this thing! ”

"Lord Yu, I don't know what the belief you said has to do with what you just said?" Yu Chenglong asked coldly.

"Naturally, there is a connection. Don't you think that the reason why a country becomes a country is because the people need it and maintain it? Therefore, for the country to continue to be stable, it needs to be supported by the people. So, how can we get the people to support the country? ......" Yu Zhong asked.

"Enough food!"

"It's not enough! …… To adults, the people are uneasy without soldiers! ”

"Confucius is willing to go to the army first before he goes to eat!"

"When I use my army, I will not only make the people proud of the country, but also open up territory for the benefit of my future generations! This...... It is also for the sake of the people's 'sufficient food' in the future! Yu Zhong said.

"Ridiculous, I have a lot of resources, why do I need to bully a small country?" Yu Jackie Chan said disdainfully.

"Haha, Lord Yu forgot? The year before last, you renovated the river and silted out hundreds of thousands of hectares of land, which made many people sing praises? The arable land in Hokkaido is not under my Qing Dynasty, so why can't you compare to your contribution to the adults? Yu Zhong scoffed.

"I do for the people; Lord Yu, you use swords and soldiers in vain, but it is against benevolence and righteousness! ”

"Lord Yu, 'benevolence and righteousness' can't fill your stomach." Yu Zhong sneered again.

"You ......"

"Lord Yu, I'll tell you one more thing." Yu Zhong looked at Yu Chenglong's face flushed with anger, smiled again, and said, "Actually, I also talk about benevolence and righteousness!" It's just that my righteousness is only spoken to my own people, never to my enemies! ”
