Chapter 337
Let go
Seeing that Kangxi was silent, Yinzhen stopped talking. He had already said this about the secret Jianchu. He had already said everything he should say. It depends on how Kangxi made a decision. The room immediately became silent, and the atmosphere was particularly dull. D. Genius could remember it in just 3 seconds.
After a long time, Kangxi spoke and said lightly: "Kneel down and I will return to Beijing tomorrow." [The latest updates are all available in the search.]
Yinzhen kowtowed with disappointment and quit. Li Dequan came to greet him from afar. He originally planned to congratulate him, but when he saw Yinzhen's face was dull, he immediately swallowed the words to his mouth and bowed to him to see him. However, he was puzzled, are the two of them fighting again?
Due to the haste, Dachun ordered people to stay in a nearby home for a night, but Yinzhen couldn't sleep all night. He knew in his heart that it was impossible to make a decision on the matter of establishing a crown prince. The problem was that Kangxi's solemn expression and his faint tone made him feel extremely disappointed.
It seems that in a short period of time, Kangxi was unwilling to give up the secret plan to establish a crown prince, or in other words, Kangxi did not want to make him the crown prince at all. In this way, Kangxi would inevitably support the fourth brother to check and balance each other. In the remaining years, the three parties would still be fighting each other, which made him very depressed. For more than ten years, he would have to form a mortal hatred with the eighth brother and the others.
He really didn't understand why Kangxi was reluctant to do such a thing that obviously had more benefits than disadvantages? He had to go back and put it together with Fang Bao, how could he think of a way to force Kangxi to openly become a crown prince.
From the capital of Tongzhou, there are loess mattresses all the way. Every few miles there is a flower-piercing yard, incense, candles and flowers. The gentry and people kneeling to welcome him are endless. The soldiers guarding him are like two straight ink lines. Kangxi survived this disaster. The Bayi Party of the Bayi Party has put in a lot of effort to welcome him in the suburbs and has started preparing several days in advance.
However, Kangxi ignored all this in front of him, and instead cursed Lao Wu, Lao Eighth, Lao Jiu disturbed the people. He only urged the imperial chariot to go quickly and welcomed all officials. He did not get off the chariot, but only showed his face in the imperial chariot and went straight back to the Forbidden City.
Yinzhen followed along the way, and his mind was not on this lively face. When he was about to enter the city, he felt a little moved and wrote a few words in a simplified manner, condemning people and secretly handing them over to Li Guangdi. Didn’t Kangxi want to secretly establish a deposit? Let’s also try to cut off the firewood from the cauldron.
The journey was exhausted, and when he entered the city, it was getting late. Kangxi did not summon anyone. After a brief rest, he read secrets from various places and reviewed memorials.
After Yinzhen returned to his house, he took a bath and called Fang Bao to tell him about the night talks with Kangxi in Tongzhou last night.
This was the first time Fang Bao heard about Australia, and he did not expect that overseas bans were planned to dominate several major states. He was also shocked and sighed in his heart that he could not measure the Fourteenth Master with the intention of ordinary people. When he heard the secret clerk, his brows became tighter and tighter.
After listening quietly, Fang Bao thought for a long time in his heart before slowly speaking: "Fourth Master, you have committed a big taboo in secret building the crown prince. Telling this is a taboo, and pointing out that the emperor should not secretly build the crown prince is even more taboo.
The secret establishment of the crown prince is the plan to establish the crown prince secretly prepared by the emperor. As a prince who is fighting for the crown prince, even if you understand it in your heart, you should pretend to be confused because you understand this plan, but the other princes are not clear about it, which will make the emperor subconsciously lean towards those princes who do not understand the plan. This is very unfavorable to you, the Fourteenth Master.
It is even more taboo to point out that the emperor should not be secretly established. Fourteenth Master, think about it, who can he establish a crown prince? It is only possible that the third master, fourth master, eighth master, and fourteenth master can be selected among the third master, fourth master, fourth master, and fourth master, can he withstand the joint attack between eighth masters and fourteenth masters? Could it be that the scene of deposing the crown prince again?
It is even more impossible to establish the Eighth Master. When the crown prince was deposed, all officials recommended the Eighth Master as the crown prince. The emperor would rather break his promise than agree. This shows how firm his intentions are. Moreover, if you make the Eighth Master the crown prince, will you not fight? Although the Eighth Master Party is so powerful, it is actually impossible to compare with the Eighth Party at all. Once the overseas franchise is issued, the Eighth Master can be said to have all the advantages.
None of the three masters can be established, so the only one who can be established is the Fourteenth Master! It can be said that the Fourteenth Master pointed out that the emperor should not be established secretly, but was forcing the emperor to make you the crown prince! And openly threatening the emperor, if not, the consequences will be serious. Who is the emperor? How can he swallow this? Fourteenth Master, you are the one who cut off the crown prince!”
Yinzhen looked bitter when he heard this. He was just telling the truth. The real history was indeed the result. He didn't expect that such serious consequences would be brought. No wonder Kangxi looked solemn. He originally thought it was a matter of being a crown prince, but he didn't expect that he had committed a big taboo.
Fang Bao changed his tone and said slowly: "Although it is a taboo, you are indeed an excellent candidate for the crown prince. You can also see the pros and cons of secretly establishing a crown prince. The emperor is not a stubborn person. Whether you make a crown prince secretly or openly establish a crown prince, if you put state affairs first, the 14th crown prince is the only candidate.
However, what Fang Bao was puzzled was that you could not see this point in the Fourteenth Master. Why did you rush to get the title of crown prince? The emperor is now a dragon body and the Fourteenth Master is not an unscrupulous person. Is it easy for the Fourteenth Master to report this reason?"
After hearing Fang Bao's question, Yinzhen couldn't help but smile and said, "It was me who was negligent and forgot this section. I was eager to be appointed as the crown prince. It originated from two points. One thing is that I asked my brother to give up, so as not to fight for a long time, become enemies, and hurt my brother's loyalty. When I became an adult, I would be in the same party with my brothers. I didn't want the four brothers to turn against each other in the future. Besides, with the help of my brothers in the future, it would be much easier.
Second, it is precisely because of the Emperor Dragon’s body, I don’t want to waste it for such a long time. I want to gradually implement some improvements. The Emperor’s prestige is very high, and many things can be borrowed from the Emperor’s hands to form a permanent example.”
Fang Bao frowned and said, "The Fourteenth Master is the crown prince, will the Eighth Master and the others give up? The Eighth Master Party has condensed the efforts of the Eighth Master, the Ninth Master, and the Tenth Master for more than ten years."
"That's fine." Yinzhen said relaxedly: "If the crown prince is established, I will naturally force my brother to give up. If the star brother does not give up and divide, he will be defeated." At this point, Yinzhen's mouth was slightly raised. The star brother valued love and trustworthiness. At that time, the four brothers had vows first. Once the crown prince is established, he would undermine him while squeezing his words, so he would not worry about not submitting.
Before the throne was obtained, the Fourteenth Master thought so long, and Fang Bao was speechless. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Fang Bao was also very confused. If the Fourteenth Master wants to promote improvement, even if he is a prince, can he promote it?"
Yinzhen glanced at Fang Bao and explained in detail: "Some improvements are quite controversial. As a prince, he is prone to criticism. Once proposed, it may be shelved for a long time or cannot be passed."
Fang Bao couldn't help but be shocked. What is the Fourteenth Master thinking about all day long? Hearing this tone, there are still many places to improve. The Fourteenth Master has now implemented customs reform and industrial and commercial tax reform. I really don't know how many innovations will be carried out in the future, after becoming the prince or ascend the throne?
Seeing that Fang Bao had not mentioned the main topic for a long time, Yinzhen urged: "Sir, can you have a way to urge the emperor to openly become a crown prince?"
"It is not difficult to let the emperor become a crown prince public." Fang Bao pondered: "Everyone with a discerning eye knows that the Fourteenth Master is the best candidate for crown prince, how can the emperor not know? The key is that the emperor is unwilling to openly become a crown prince.
Fang Bao thought that it was still the reason why he was so powerful that he was so powerful that he changed his position and thought, if the 14th Master was the emperor, his reputation and fame surpassed you, what would you do? He must be uneasy and suspicious, and then he would suppress and contain him!
The 14th Master's reputation and fame are now at its peak. If he swept away the sea fleets of Spain, the Netherlands and Britain, seized the entire South Ocean, occupied Australia, and then opened up overseas lands to enfeoff the kings, how could the emperor take care of himself? The emperor's life achievements are probably not comparable to that. Has the Fourteenth Master ever thought about it?
If you want the emperor to make the 14th Master the crown prince, you can only extinguish your authority and remember all the credits on the emperor's head."
He was shocked by himself. He couldn't help but lose his power. Has this question been discussed in the warships? How did he raise it again? Can he still find something new? He couldn't help but look at Fang Bao in confusion.
Fang Bao stroked his two beards with ease and said calmly: "As the saying goes, this is a moment, and then a moment, the Fourteenth Master did not dare to sever his authority before, and was worried that it was not conducive to fighting for the throne. Now the situation has changed drastically. Without the navy, the Fourteenth Master can also occupy the wind. If he severed his authority, he could please the emperor. Why not do it?
The most important point is that the Fourteenth Master is now depriving himself of power, and he is just a scattering soil inside the door and concealing the eyes of outsiders. The Nanyang Fleet is far away in Nanyang. Even if the Fourteenth Master handed over the navy, no one could command it. Besides, the Qing Dynasty is facing the declaration of war from Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. A navy is about to break out. If the navy is handed over, the horse will return to the Fourteenth Master again. And it is legitimate. Wouldn't it be better?
Hai's Yiying Factory Workshop should have been gradually withdrawing people to Manila? Although the Fourteenth Master boldly took the initiative to hand over to the Navy, he asked to resign as the dean of the Navy Academy and handed over all Hai's Yiying Factory Workshop to the court. This year, he lost a huge amount of millions of taels of silver. I wonder if the emperor has the courage to take over?"
Give up the prostitute? Yinzhen's eyes couldn't help but lit up. This method is good. If Kangxi dares to take over, he will become poor in half a year. I guess no one of his brothers will have the ability to take on the burden of the navy. Even if he wants to take a risk, Kangxi will never give them a chance.
Fang Bao smiled complacently and said, "The emperor can understand the Fourteenth Master's intentions by depriving his authority. At that time, he will force the discovery of Australia on the emperor's head. The Beijing News will vigorously promote it and openly establish a crown prince. I think it will be a big problem."
