Chapter 327 The Fourth Ambition

Tianjin, Sancha River mouth, Yimu Garden.

Kangxi was not used to staying on warships. After the navy headed north, he ordered Wu Ge to drive the warships to Tianjin and ordered the navy to occupy the naval camp and Yimuyuan at the mouth of Sancha River, and he stayed at Yimuyuan. [The latest updates are all available in the search.]

Thousands of naval forces entered the Sancha River mouth, and no one in the big and small officials in Tianjin dared to speak out. Everyone knew in their hearts that there were three thousand musketeers in the navy. Now the situation is messy. Who knows what the result will be? It is better to have less trouble than more trouble. Besides, no one can afford these thousands of navies. No one has ever thought that Kangxi, who they were looking for, actually lived alone in the navy.

Kangxi was quite surprised when he received the report from Yinzhen. After reading it carefully, he was shocked. The prince lost it was not unfair. The navy was able to capture the Fucheng Sect, which was defended by 3,000 people in less than an hour. It was really incredible. It also caught the prince off guard. However, the encirclement outside Anding Gate was purely due to luck.

In the good news, the Fourteenth Old did not say how he persuaded the prince to surrender. Kangxi also felt quite strange. The prince had seven thousand soldiers and horses in his hands. He was neither desperate nor powerless to fight. He had a great chance of escape in the bloody battle, so why did he surrender obediently? How did the Fourteenth Old Angry surrender?

It seems that only when he returns to Beijing, he will know the specific situation. The letter of the Fourteenth Old Man mentioned that he had ordered the Beijing Banner Banner to come to Tianjin to pick up the train, but he was not in a hurry to leave. Kangxi pondered a little, then wrote a handwritten warrant, and then walked to the door and said to Wu Ge who was standing outside the door: "Summoning Zhili Governor Zhao Hongxie, Tianjin General Du Chengsi, Tianjin Customs Supervisor Hai Shan and a group of Eight Banners generals in Tianjin to come and meet."

"Zha, the servants respect the order." Wu Ge knelt down and took the order, but was overjoyed. Since the emperor showed his whereabouts, he thought that the Fourteenth Master had solved the prince's mutiny.

The Navy Camp immediately rode out everywhere. Soon, the whole of Tianjin was in full swing and Kangxi was safe and sound. News of staying in Yimuyuan these days was spreading rapidly, and officials from all over the world gathered in Sancha River.

Hai Shan, the supervisor of Tianjin Customs, arrived first, and immediately sent a sign to meet him. During the Tianjin Incident, he had the best luck. After the Eighth Prince led his troops to Beijing, he stayed in Tianjin. After hearing the news that the Navy's 3,000 musketeers entered Beijing, he immediately realized that the Fourteenth Master was fine. While enviing Longkodo, he noticed that there was no one to provide relief to the hungry people in Tianjin, so he boldly used the tax silver from Tianjin Customs to purchase grain everywhere and open porridge sheds to provide relief to the victims. This move greatly stabilized the order in Tianjin.

In order to please Kangxi, officials from all over the world were poor in dealing with all the people stationed in Tianjin. All the yamen were all unable to provide relief to the victims of the city. Seeing Haishan reaching out to provide relief to the victims of the disaster, all the officials were relieved and praised Haishan and Customs.

Kangxi stayed in Yimuyuan and was naturally familiar with the big and small things in Tianjin. He also admired Haishan very much. He immediately summoned him and knelt down after he greeted him, and asked, "Is it your own idea to help the victims?"

This kind of good thing naturally requires pushing the Fourteenth one forward, and it is better to ask for money. Besides, following the Fourteenth one, there is a future with Kangxi. Haishan still calculated the account clearly. He immediately replied without hesitation: "Go back to the emperor, it is the Fourteenth one who sent the message to help the victims, and the servants are just following the orders."

Lao Si's face is not as small as you. Kangxi thought to himself, but he didn't point it out. He said slightly: "Tianjin is a natural disaster this time, and the losses are heavy. Lao Si's will make a big move in Tianjin. The relief for Tianjin is to be left to him. Since it is a relief for the court, it must be fully prepared. Those who are homeless must be properly placed, those who are injured must be treated as much as possible. The damaged city walls must be rebuilt as soon as possible."

"Zhe, the servant respects the order." Hai Shan bowed and replied.

"Kneel down and rest." Kangxi glanced at him with a smile and said, "I will have another decree after I return to the capital."

There is also a decree! Hai Shan was happy and hurriedly said: "Thank you the emperor for your kindness and reward, and I will take my leave."

As soon as Hai Shan withdrew, Wu Ge reported: "Report to the emperor, Li Dequan is here to meet."

Well, Li Dequan is fine? Kangxi raised his brows slightly and said, "Tell him to come in."

During the days when Kangxi disappeared, Li Dequan could be said to be in vain and was inquiring about the news like a headless fly. If Kangxi was gone, his good life would be over. When he heard Kangxi appear in Yimuyuan, he immediately brought a large group of palace maids and eunuchs to come over.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Dequan peeked at Kangxi, and saw that he looked as usual, he immediately knelt down and choked and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, Chengxiang, and Hongfu Qitian's death!"

"Congratulations on you like this?" Kangxi cursed with a smile, "Get up and serve, build a pot of tea." These days in the Navy, he was very unaccustomed to eating and drinking, and he never said anything to prevent the news from leaking.

"Zhe. I'll let you prepare now." Li Dequan bowed and retreated, but cursed in his heart. The navy's group of killers did not even have a pot of good tea?

Kangxi then summoned Zhili Governor Zhao Hongxie and Tianjin General Du Chengsi. However, he had no good expression on these two people. As the governor of Zhili, Zhao Hongxie did not see any resettlement within two days. He would have taken measures to help the victims of Tianjin. If Hai Shan had not come forward to provide relief, it would have led to civil rebellion.

After the two of them greeted each other, Kangxi said, "Zhao Hongxie, you have been busy these days, what's the matter?"

Zhao Hongxie was the second son of Zhao Liangdong, a famous general of the Xi Dynasty, and a first-class viscount. He was a donated official. He served as a county magistrate, a co-magistrate, a Shandong censor, a governor of the government, a governor of Henan, and a governor of Zhili. He had a good reputation and was a capable official. He was already very upset when he learned that Kangxi had been in Yimuyuan.

After hearing Kangxi's question, Zhao Hongxie was even more panicked and kowtowed and replied: "Go back to the emperor, the prince's troops destroyed the post roads and the ships were sinking to block the canal rivers. At this time, the grain transportation was busy. I was afraid that the grain transportation would be missed. I have been busy digging the rivers and repairing the post roads for several days. The Tianjin earthquake caused the disaster to be everywhere. I was suffering from the lack of silver to adjust and did not provide timely relief. I was reluctant to escape the crime. I beg the emperor to punish him seriously."

When he heard that Zhao Hongxie was busy clearing the river and repairing the post road, and confessing that there was no silver to adjust, Kangxi pondered and said nothing. The water transportation was indeed a major event. The water transportation was blocked in Tianjin, and he could not escape punishment. In the past few days, people in Tianjin were panic, and it was indeed difficult for him to allocate the money. After pondering for a moment, Kangxi asked: "How is the progress of the river transportation clearing and the post road repairing?"

When Zhao Hongxie heard Kangxi ask about this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly kowtowed and replied: "Go back to the emperor, all of them have been cleared and repaired."

Kangxi said with a slight head, and then he said, "There is a slight and quick follow-up. The Tianjin earthquake and the disaster victims are everywhere, and you are hungry for feeding. You are neither able to provide relief nor know how to make adjustments, and you almost cause a major change. As a rank-in official, it is not enough to be dismissed and remain in office, assisting the emperor's 14th son Yinzhen to provide relief, and Tianjin's affairs will be handled. In addition, 100,000 stones of grain were allocated on the spot to provide relief to the victims."

When Zhao Hongxie heard of his dismissal, he felt a slump in his heart. The punishment was severe. However, the Fourteenth Master helped to provide relief to the victims of Tianjin. He must have recovered this position. He hurriedly thanked him: "I thank the emperor for his kindness."

Kangxi looked at the general of Tianjin Du Chengsi. He originally summoned him to send troops to clear the river, but he did not expect that Zhao Hongxie had cleared the river. After pondering for a moment, he said: "The Tianjin earthquake is in chaos inside and outside the city. Your soldiers patrol day and night, preventing them before they happen. It is said that they are diligent and cautious, and have a regular rule in controlling the troops. There are many refugees stranded in Tianjin. You should not be slackened. You must be consistent and prevent changes."

When he was diligent and cautious, he was a lawful military officer in charge of the Eight Banners. As a Han official, Du Chengsi was able to be confirmed by Kangxi in person, which was very different. He immediately blushed and thanked: "The emperor praised him, but I am ashamed of him. I am sure that I should do my best to maintain the stability of Tianjin."

Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province, Changqing County.

The fourth prince Yinzhen turned around and rushed all the way, and finally met with Wu Sidao in Changqing County. The group found a secluded inn in the county town to book a book. Yinzhen had already calmed down at this time. After taking a bath, wash and eat, he ordered people to make tea and invite Wu Sidao to come.

Wu Sidao took a carriage for only one day and thought it was too slow, so he hired a small bird boat with a lot of money, using both sails and oars, traveling day and night. Although the speed was not as fast as a horse, he was better than not resting at night. He couldn't slow down all the way. He did not suffer much along the way.

Seeing Yinzhen returning from Dezhou, he expected that the capital would change again. After entering the house and sitting down, he tentatively said: "Fourth Master, but the prince has been defeated?"

Yinzhen nodded, but said nothing, but handed over the detailed report received by Dezhou. After reading it carefully, Wu Sidao was secretly shocked. The Fourteenth Master really had unexpected actions. After thinking for a while, Wu Sidao asked, "Fourth Master, why did you leave the north in Hangzhou?"

When he heard Wu Sidao speak, he asked about his way out. Yinzhen felt a little nervous. After pondering, he said, "Because the Fujian Post Road is rugged and difficult to travel, he has always been in Guangdong and has been walking on the sea route. I ordered Zhao Shenqiao to lead the team to Guangdong on the sea route, but I said I was not used to sea boats and entered Guangdong via land through Fujian."

Wu Sidao nodded. Although this reason was a bit far-fetched, it was justified. He then asked: "Can the Fourth Master deal with the matter of Fei Ge's transmission of the letter?"

"Fortunately, I was reminded by the sir." Yinzhen nodded and said, "The two strongholds near the capital are usually covered with ordinary pigeons, and the number is not large. Without considering searches, all the pigeons in the large stronghold have been released, and the personnel of each stronghold can be replaced, so that they can be safe." As he said, he asked again, "It's very serious?"

"Just be in case." Wu Sidao smiled slightly: "If you don't leave any handles for these two things, the Fourth Master will be free of worries." He pondered slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "After this incident, the prince was completely eliminated, and the Third Master is also unreliable. The Eighth Master is fine on the surface, but in fact he has been eliminated..."

"The eighth brother is out too?" Yinzhen stared at Wu Sidao in confusion.

"The Fourth Master, the emperor is safe, but he is invisible in the navy, deliberately confusing the public and misleading the princes, ministers and relatives. How could the emperor not know the consequences of doing so? The Eighth Master's party is to prevent the prince from ascending the throne in the capital. What is the consequence of fighting between the two tigers? The emperor is far away in Tianjin and cannot control the situation at all, but the emperor lets it go. This is actually a complete abandonment of the Eighth Master." Wu Sidao said jokingly: "From the 14th Master's eagerness to integrate the Eighth Party, the Fourteenth Master must have seen this point, but the Eighth Master has not attended the banquet. I am afraid that he has not seen through it, or he has not let go of his efforts for many years."

"Sir, can the Fourteenth Party integrate the Eighth Party?" Yinzhen asked nervously. Once the Fourteenth Party and the Eighth Party merge, he would have no chance at all.

Wu Sidao frowned slightly, took a sip of tea, and then slowly spoke: "Although the Fourteenth Master does not do anything, he is not a person who can stop casually. Since he has seen through the hopelessness of the Eighth Master, he must give great guidance and guidance. The Eighth Master is not a person who does not know how to advance and retreat. Therefore, it is inevitable that the two parties will integrate."

Yinzhen was speechless and his expression was a little sad. The fourteenth party and the eighth party merged, and the fourteenth generals had a huge increase in strength. He could respond to the call in Beijing and had a huge navy outside. With his single hand, how could he be able to compete with so many brothers?

"Fourth Master, don't be anxious. In this situation, the Fourth Master is not completely out of the chance." Wu Sidao said with a smile.

Is there still a chance? Is there still a chance in this situation? Yinzhen looked at Wu Sidao in surprise and smiled bitterly: "Sir, don't comfort me."

"Have you not heard that when you walk to the end of the water and sit and watch the clouds rise?" Wu Sidao smiled and said, "The Fourth Master is now at the bottom of the pot, no matter where he goes, he is moving upward."

Hum? Yinzhen felt a stern heart, pondered slightly, and then said, "Sir, before he could make a decision?"

Wu Sidao smiled and said, "Sidao thought that the opportunity that truly belonged to the Fourth Master has come."

An opportunity belonging to me? Yinzhen was stunned. This lame man could not have tried to help me. Lao Si and him are a life-and-death enemy. Whenever he has a chance, he must have to take ruthless action. He doesn't even have a helper now, so how can he have a chance? He couldn't help but glance at Wu Sidao, and saw that he was confident in his heart, and hope arises in his heart. Is it really a chance? He said immediately: "I hope Mr. will give me some advice."

Wu Sidao said calmly: "The Fourteenth Master has been cautious in everything and is careful everywhere. He is now at the advantage, but he is proud. In the current situation, the Fourteenth Master is the leader. The emperor trusts him very much, and his brothers have been eliminated one after another. He integrates the Eight Party this time, but as Sidao expected, he should be preparing for the establishment of the prince.

The prince has been in power for more than 30 years, but in the end he made a mutiny attempt to usurp the throne, which can be said to have hurt the emperor's heart. Although the emperor is now in fifty, he is healthy and energetic. He is very likely not to establish a prince in a short period of time. The Fourteenth Master should be worried about this and only then did this.

And this is the opportunity. Even if the emperor trusts the Fourteenth Master, he will not let his party dominate. As the saying goes, this time, that time, and time, as time goes by, who can guarantee that the Fourteenth Master will not have any other intentions? The emperor must be careful of it. With the emperor's usual habits, it must support the one party and think it is restrained.

Looking around the princes, the only one who has the ability to restrain the Fourteenth Master was the Fourth Master. Therefore, Sidao said that the Fourth Master’s opportunity has come! The merger of the Fourteenth Party and the Eighth Party will not only be harmful to the Fourth Master, but it is a great benefit.”
