Chapter 200 Opportunity
Hearing this, Yinzhen understood Kangxi's intentions. Kangxi's layout was to prepare for his secret establishment of the crown prince and to push the third and fourth brothers out, just to confuse the public and make the princes and ministers think that he did not like the candidate for the crown prince.
Give Lao Ba some sweetness to it, both for the need to balance it, and for the hope of giving Lao Ba some hope and let him continue to make a stubborn progress. I just don’t know if there is any candidate for the prince in Kangxi’s heart? If so, who would it be? [.]
After thinking for a while, Yinzhen gave up this meaningless idea. Just fight for it. Let's see what situation they can make? Yinzhen showed a playful smile. In general, Kangxi supported him the most. In the court, Li Guangdi and Zhang Pengsheng were supported, and Kangxi was playing with balance on it. He didn't have to worry too much. He could go to Jiangnan to build an ocean-going fleet with confidence.
After the court was dispersed, Yinzhen did not dare to delay and hurried to Xijiang Mi Lane near Zhengyangmen. Zheng Shichang bought a yard in Nianer Hutong at a high price to serve as the office location of the Beijing News. Yinzhen was really worried about the first Beijing News being published. After all, Zheng Shichang's quality rank was a little lower, afraid that he would not be able to suppress the six subjects.
When he entered the courtyard, Yinzhen found that he was a little busy, wearing official uniforms, casual clothes, dressed up, etc. There were all kinds of people. When he saw him coming in, the people in the courtyard were all kneeling down to pay their respects. Zheng Shichang also came out after hearing the news.
Yinzhen waved his hand and asked the crowd to wait for the gifts to be exempted. He quickly walked into the hall. As a result, another group of people kowtowed and greeted him. He had to quickly enter the room. As soon as he sat down, he spoke: "Open a few more doors, divide the types of jobs into different parts, separate them separately, otherwise a lot of time would be wasted when the gifts were held in one day."
Zheng Shichang bowed and said, "What the prince taught is that he was just finished yesterday and moved here overnight. He was a little busy and asked someone to make rectification tomorrow."
Zhen nodded and said in a pondering manner: "According to the specifications of the yamen, the Beijing News will sooner or later be included in the regular system of the court."
Hearing this, Zheng Shichang was overjoyed and immediately bowed and said, "The emperor is very careful to respect the prince's order."
Yinzhen then asked, "How is the Beijing News prepared?"
"Go back to the prince, time is tight. The official hired a book engraving company to print on his behalf. The other pages are ready, and only the first edition of the edicts and memorials are left." Zheng Shichang said, waved to the outside world, and a long-time servant hurriedly brought the sealed envelope over.
Zheng Shichang looked at the seal, then folded it, pulled out a semi-finished Beijing News and presented it with both hands. Yinzhen saw that his confidentiality was good, and was very satisfied. He took the Beijing News and took it carefully.
This Beijing newspaper is about four-fold in size. The paper is thick and white, the handwriting is clear and neat, and it looks extremely refreshing. Yinzhen was extremely satisfied with reading it and asked with a smile: "How much does a newspaper cost?"
Zheng Shichang laughed and said, "When you go back to the prince, you really don't have time to calculate it carefully, but it's always a 25-30-30-30-30-
Based on ten thousand shares, the annual loss is more than 20,000 taels, which is enough to scare away all those who want to make a decision. Yinzhen nodded and said, "Just follow this standard."
The Palace of Yangxin, the West Warehouse.
Kangxi did not rest after the court, so he meditated for a while and wrote: "I am now in spring and autumn. I have been listening to the government for a long time. Everyone also said that I have learned everything. But I have many things that I have never heard of. Although there are censors, they are mostly people who are silent. Therefore, the villains such as Kali, Liang Shixun, and Heqi dared to collude with each other, form clerks, be corrupt and abuse the law, and act boldly and recklessly. You are all my trust. When I was appointed as the minister, I will respond to the matters that were reported in the request for peace. They will be published in the list of memorials.
I am cautious in everything, and I know everything about the court. Any secret memorials, no or leaked, will not leave any memorials, and will not leave any manuscripts after reading them. After reading them, you can report them in secretly, and then you will be very treacherous and greedy, and you will be afraid of them, or you may be slandered or sell your kindness and power. You will be more cautious from now on."
After writing, he instructed Zhang Tingyu: "Come to each official who has the right to secretly write a copy in Beijing and various provinces, and send it with a seal."
Zhang Tingyu returned to the desk with his secret order in his hands. After reading it, he began to copy it. He was a man of extremely talented. When he thought of the situation in the court today, he immediately understood that Kangxi was worried about the princes and asked the capital and local officials to report the movements of the princes at any time and anywhere.
The princes, ministers, civil and military officials in the capital were scattered and returned to their respective yamen and mansions, and carefully pondered the deep meaning behind the decrees that Kangxi said at the court meeting today.
Prince Yong's Mansion.
The fourth prince Yinzhen never dreamed that Kangxi would let him serve as the clan lord of the clan mansion. In this position, he had a lot of opportunities to win over the relatives of the royal family. He had never held such an important position in history. I really don’t know what the purpose of Kangxi’s move was? Moreover, he also vigorously promoted the third son’s disciple, the confidant, and the eighth son also benefited a lot, but the fourteenth son did not win the lottery this time.
Unable to figure out Kangxi's thoughts, Yinzhen naturally came to the South Courtyard where Wu Sidao was.
Wu Sidao was reading a book. Seeing Yinzhen frowning in, he bowed and smiled and said, "Today, there are five major dynasties, has the emperor done something unusual?"
Yinzhen nodded and said, "It's not ordinary. I've come back all the way and haven't figured out what the emperor's intention is." As he said that, he explained the detailed situation in the court in detail.
Wu Sidao thought for a while before saying, "The Lord is putting the deer in the wild."
Putting the deer in the wild? Yinzhen was stunned and blurted out: "The emperor has not yet had a candidate for the prince he likes?"
"That may not be." Wu Sidao shook his head and said, "The emperor has two possibilities for this move. One is that the prince has not yet been confirmed in his mind. The other is that the prince who already has the intention, so use this method to protect it."
"Which type is more likely to be bigger?" Yinzhen asked anxiously.
Wu Sidao smiled and said, "Sidao is not clear either, but——regardless of the possibility, it is an opportunity for the Fourth Master."
Opportunity? If Kangxi already had a candidate for the prince in his mind, what chance would he have? Yinzhen looked at Wu Sidao in confusion.
"Haha, people's hearts will change." Wu Sidao smiled
