"Nations need war, just as the sick need medicine. It is not a good thing for a country to be immersed in peace and prosperity for too long. That would deactivate the country. 'The warlike nation will perish', but 'forgetting the war will be dangerous'. An army is like a weapon, if it is dull, it must be sharpened, otherwise the deterrent power will be lost, or even completely decayed. There is never a distinction between 'benevolence' and 'justice' in war. Because the state gathers the beliefs and interests of too many people, it can only always put profit first and the interests of 'its own people' first. Those practices that emphasize benevolence and righteousness are nothing but treating the wounds of foreigners at the expense of the interests of the people of their own country. The Six Kingdoms died by bribing Qin, and the practice of benevolence and righteousness to the enemy was even worse than bribing Qin. After beating other countries and killing people from other countries, do you think that if you say two more good words, it will be over? Only a fool in the world can have this kind of thought, then he is indulging, indulging his enemies. …… War is looting, murder and arson, what are you doing with so much mess? If you want to be righteous and righteous, first turn the enemy's land into your own land, and the people of the enemy country into your own people! If we can't, then we must knock the enemy down at once, so that he will never get up again, and will never pose a threat to us. ……”

Yin Zhen stayed in his cabin, silently recalling Yu Zhong's words. Just now, Yu Zhong and Yu Chengchan talked about their attitude towards the enemy, Yu Zhong said that there can be no benevolence and righteousness towards the enemy, whether it is open, secret or potential enemies, and the best way is to strangle the enemy before it sits big, that is, "prevent trouble before it happens". As a result, his "dangerous" tone not only made Yu Chengchan's face as angry as pig's liver, but even Gao Shiqi and others mostly changed color. Yinzhen can imagine why these people think so. Because, there are many neighboring countries in the Great Qing Kingdom, if they all have to be eliminated or strangled, in the eyes of these people, I am afraid that the difficulty is not inferior to climbing to the sky and fishing for the moon.

Yin Zhen could even feel that if it weren't for Kangxi and others who stopped Yu Zhong from continuing to speak in time, Yu Chengchan would most likely ask Kangxi to kill Yu Zhong on the spot.

However, Yu Zhong's words still made everyone present realize his "danger", and Yinzhen felt that even Kangxi might regret appointing Yu Zhong to Sichuan as the governor prematurely. Who knows what the enemies in Yu Zhong's eyes are? There are many places where various ethnic groups live in Sichuan, and there are many contradictions, if something goes wrong, will this Grand Admiral kill again?

However, Yu Zhong's words are still supported. Although Lan Li, Wan Zhengse and the others did not speak, from the eyes they looked at Yu Zhong, as well as their expressions of "I have something to worry about", a fool could tell whether they supported Zhong or not. Yin Zhen could even guess how happy Lan Li was at the moment. This guy wants to fight Japan again, and Yu Zhong's words can be used as a shield, so it's no wonder that he is not happy.

……

"Prevention is better than prevention! Destroy your enemies in the bud! ”

Silently chewing on these two sentences of Yu Zhong in his heart, Yin Zhen gently put the letter written by Nian Qianyao on the candle and lit it! …… Now* Although the dispute with the Elder Brother Party is not as fierce as before, this is the dangerous period when the real undercurrent is surging, if he comes out at this time, it will be a bad one, and it will be a catastrophe, so it is better to keep a low profile for now. After all, he is not as powerful as the eldest brother and the crown prince, and he doesn't have much capital to squander.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

There was a knock on the door. Yin Zhen turned his head to look at it, picked up a few pieces of paper and burned them together, and then, seeing that the letter had been burned, he walked over and opened the door.

"Fourth brother, why did it take so long for you to open the door? …… What does it smell like? What do you burn? ”

It's Yinxiang again! As soon as he entered, he smelled the smell of burning things, and immediately asked.

"Nothing. The heart is disturbed, the words are not written well, and they are burned! Yin Zhen said lightly.

"If you can't write well, you burn? Hehe, fourth brother, you didn't deceive me, did you? Are you writing a letter to your fourth sister-in-law? ......" Yinxiang's eyes were sharp, and when he squinted, he saw a piece of paper on the floor in front of Yinzhen's desk, which still had half a page left, hurriedly stepped forward and stepped on two feet, stepped on the fire, and bent down to pick it up and look at it, and then shook his head and read: "All Bodhisattvas and Mahasattvas should subdue their hearts like this!" All sentient beings...... No way? Fourth brother, are you writing the Diamond Sutra again? ”

"yes. You stole my original one, so of course I'll have to copy another one! Yin Zhen said indifferently.

"It's my fault again?" Yinxiang pointed to the tip of his nose with a wry smile.

"A thief who doesn't tell him. Do you think you're at fault? Yin Zhen asked expressionlessly.

"Okay, okay, I know that Fourth Brother is amazing! I admit that it was my fault, can I make it? It's a big deal, I'll copy a copy of the "Diamond Sutra" and return it to you in two days, this will always work, right? Yin Xiang asked with a salivating smile.

"Excuse me! I can't see your words! Yin Zhen replied angrily.

"Fourth brother, you look down on people! My words are even good for the emperor! Yinxiang shouted unconvinced.

"Yes, Huang Ama also said yes. I don't know who was punished by Master Wang for three days because of his poor handwriting......" Yinzhen said with a smile.

"Gotta get it, I can't talk about you. I throw in the towel! Yinxiang raised his hands high and said with a wry smile: "Fourth brother, you believe in Buddhism, why don't you even have a little tolerance?" No matter how you say it, I'm also your brother, and it's so stingy to say a few kind words to comfort me! I have to mention my sadness! ”

"Are you sad?" Yin Zhen looked at Yin Xiang's appearance, and could only smile bitterly. This kid and the fourteenth elder brother Yinyu are the two most honest among the princes, and there are many people who protect them, how many times are there to be sad?

"That's right, no more! Fourth brother, Huang Ama asked me to call you over! Yinxiang laughed for a while, suddenly remembered what was going on, and hurriedly said.

"Huang Ama told me to come over? What's up? Yin Zhen was shocked, but his expression did not change, and he just asked lightly.

"What else could it be? There is an emperor! Yinxiang glanced at his fourth brother with "resentment", and it was difficult to hide the envy in his expression.

"The Emperor?" What is the royal difference? Yin Zhen thought secretly in his heart. Somehow, after hearing this, he felt a sense of excitement in his heart.

……

"I'm going to send you to Jiangning!"

Yin Zhen soon learned about the imperial mission sent to him by Kangxi. Just two days ago, Ma De, the governor of Jiangnan, who had always lived in Anhui, suddenly drove to Jiangning Mansion, and then, with a series of fire signs, the Governor of the Governor's Mansion took only a little more than a day to arrest Wang Shenhan, the prefect of Suzhou, Wang Hub, the governor of Jiangning, Lin Yongsheng, the governor of Jiangning, and Zhao Heyuan, the commander of Suyang County. However, when such a thing came, those Jiangsu officials who had no good impression of this Governor Ma and usually did not forget to scold the last two sentences were all quiet all of a sudden, and no one dared to let out half a fart.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, after Jiangning Weaving Cao Yin learned of the incident, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent someone Pegasus to spread the matter to the royal driver and his party and told Kangxi. Because at this time, Kangxi's southern tour team had already entered the territory of Jiangsu, Ma De was arrested so aggressively, and almost all of them were officials of the imperial court, in case it was not handled well, and the emperor's face was blackened, the impact must be extremely bad. Therefore, Kangxi didn't dare to take it lightly, so he hurriedly sent him to Jiangning to find out the situation. So as not to be the emperor's eyes blackened and not know anything.

Speaking of Yinzhen, it is also good luck. Now all the "masters" who stay by Kangxi's side are there. Either he is a minister of the study, a figure at the level of a prime minister, or a general of the army and a local governor, and the influence is too great, so in order not to attract attention, he can only be selected. And the identity of Prince Yinzhen is also heavy enough, so he should be able to suppress it if something happens. …… Why should it be used? Because in the memory of Kangxi and others, Ma De is the kind of character who once he grasps the truth, even the prince dares to stand up. A mere fourth elder brother may still be able to control others, but if you deal with Ma De, there is only one word, that is...... Suspend!

However, Yinzhen didn't know that Kangxi and the others just regarded him as a scout and an eyeliner, and he set off immediately after receiving the task, and he set off with a hint of excitement. The strategists he relied on, Monk Wenjue, Monk Xingyin and Wu Sidao all once said to him that if you want to be a person, you must behave in front of Kangxi. And what kind of behavior and what characteristics to show are debatable. In fact, Yinzhen's martial arts are a cut below the boss compared to the prince and the eldest brother Yinzhen, and it is even more impossible to compare with the third elder brother Yinzhi, who is in charge of revising the "Ancient and Modern Book Collection", if it is only performed from these aspects, it will definitely not get many points. Therefore, if you want to attract Kangxi's attention and attention, you must find another situation! And all this requires Kangxi to be willing to send him a task. Just like Kangxi once sent Yinchu to assist Li Guangdi in governing the Yongding River and sent the prince to supervise the country several times, he needed an opportunity! …… Now, the opportunity has finally arrived. Therefore, Yin Zhen, who was excited, forgot to think about so many things for a while, he just wanted to let Kangxi see his skills!

……

"Li Scale, I can't imagine that you still have such a capable brother! Not bad, really good! ”

I didn't know that the Yongzheng Ye that my group was most concerned about had embarked on the way south, and Ma De was receiving the kid he liked better, that is, the kid who was sitting opposite Zhang Kai, holding a folding fan, dressed as a literati but with a monkey face, his buttocks couldn't stop shaking, and his body was unstable! Li Wei, who is only seventeen years old this year! Later, he also served as a big man as the governor of Jiangnan.

"Hehe, Mr. Ma, you have won the prize. Weizi is a little clever, in front of you, it's not just a small fight, not a climate! Li Yan also stayed aside, and when he saw that Li Wei heard Ma De's praise, he immediately scratched his ears and cheeks, and his buttocks began to grind on the chair, and he hurriedly spoke. Although he knew that Ma De had a good temper, he still hoped that his younger brother could leave a good impression on Ma De, and few people who were big officials wanted their subordinates to be too frivolous!

"Doesn't it become a climate? Hahaha...... Li Scale, you are using this modesty in the wrong place. Besides, this time you and Zhang Kai teamed up, but none of them performed well in Li Wei, so it is not your turn to be humble, right? Ma De smiled at Li Scale.

"What the adults said is good, Li Wei is a talent, it's a pity to let the rivers and lakes go! Master Taiwan, I think you should not only praise him, but it is best to send him an official position to practice! Zhang Kai was also sitting next to him, and when he heard Li Liang call "Teacher Ma" vigorously, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, it can be said that he is as greasy as he wants to be! But he can't help it, who says that he doesn't have a champion brother who is a student of Ma De? I can't get close to it. What's more, the old Li family is now behind Li Pan and Li Scale, and there is such a kid as Li Wei, and the brothers join forces, and the momentum is not comparable to that of a lonely person at all. Therefore, he can only watch from the sidelines! However, since they are all in the same group, he can only sell it well, so as not to get into trouble in the future!

"Not bad, Li Wei, have you ever thought about becoming an official?" Ma De nodded after hearing Zhang Kai's words, and turned to Li Wei to ask. The reason why he was able to quickly seize the evidence this time and arrest the relevant people in the Li Yuchang case is that Li Wei can be said to have made a lot of contributions. It was this kid who let Li Lin send people to spread rumors, falsely claiming that Li Lin had been secretly sent by him to escort back to Jiangsu from Anhui, and was leading the people of the Governor's Yamen to search for evidence at this moment, and this kid also boldly asserted that since he dared to murder the emperor, then, in order to cover up his crimes, there must be some officials who committed crimes who were bold enough to dare to secretly kill Li Lin's family. Therefore, while persuading Li Lin to send people to spread rumors, he also asked Li Lin to find someone to pretend to be Li Lin and "secretly" act, so as to lure those guys who have ghosts in their hearts. Sure enough, not long after the "Li Lin Clan" sent by Li Lin appeared, it was targeted, and when those people made a move, the officers and soldiers who had already been ambushed surrounded them. However, what people didn't expect was that those who intended to murder Li Lin's family actually dared to play the brand of official errands, wanting to get rid of Li Liang and Zhang Kai's round-up. Originally, this was indeed a difficult thing to do. Because although Li Lan and Zhang Kai have certain powers and can write to the court to impeach officials, they are not qualified to arrest people and handle cases. However, those people didn't expect that Li Liang and Zhang Kai had a warrant from his governor, and the warrant was also written simply, everything below the third grade would be arrested! Therefore, there was no suspense in everything, those part-time killer officials were quickly arrested, and Li Liang and Zhang Kai quickly pried open the mouths of these guys, all of whom were subordinates of Wang Shenhan, the prefect of Huai'an. After getting this result, Li Liang and Zhang Kai originally thought that they would immediately send the confessions of those killers to Anhui. However, it was Li Wei, a kid, who stopped them, and frankly admitted that if they handed over their confessions to Anhui too early, they wasted time and let Wang Shenhan find out, and the case would inevitably change dramatically. At most, they will be able to catch one Wang Shenhan, and other related people will definitely find a way to cut off this case, and at that time, Li Lin's revenge will definitely not be avenged, and even Wang Shenhan may be able to escape the big crime with the help of some people. As a result, Li Liang once again listened to this kid's suggestion, first took people, took his governor's warrant to Huai'an Mansion to secretly arrest Wang Shenhan, and then interrogated him overnight. As a result, that night, one of Wang Shenhan's sons fled, and Wang Shenhan also confessed everything. And the case has developed to this point, and the facts of the case are basically clear, just waiting for him to officially be promoted to the court to ask the case.

It can be said that Li Wei performed well in this case. Although it is said that if there is no "murderous name" of Tamad, Wang Shenhan may not have to use his cronies and officials because he is in a hurry to kill people and kill his mouth, and this kid's strategy may not be successful; Although this kid didn't expect that there was also a county order in Anqing Mansion that was related to this case, he secretly stole Li Lin's son and intended to send a letter to the people in Jiangsu who were involved in the case, but he didn't succeed because he ordered a strict investigation of the border between Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, but Li Wei still has a lot of commendability, if this kid is put into the next generation, he is simply a natural policeman! No wonder Yongzheng once ordered this kid to be "responsible for arresting thieves in the world" in the future! The whole Minister of Public Security!

Therefore, Ma De couldn't help but want to invite this kid to be an official when Li Wei was only seventeen years old, this kind of talent, it would be a temporary loss to let it go for a while!

However, after hearing Ma De's words, Li Wei scratched his ears and cheeks and thought for a while, but gave Ma De an unexpected answer:

"Master Taiwan, I don't want to be an official!"
