Chapter 467
This issue is not what Yinzhen is most worried about. Even if the starling brother openly fights for the crown prince, Orolongtai will only dare to work hard in secret unless the starling brother dares to tear his face and make a bet. However, with the starling brother's nature, he cannot do such a thing. If the starling brother, known as the "wife king", does something that is crippled, the Eighth Master Party should fall apart.
Yinzhen is now worried that the fourth brother is provoking or causing trouble. With the style of the fourth brother and Wu Sidao, he will definitely use his conflicts with Oroqdai. The fourth brother's methods are extremely useless. It is unpredictable to do anything. I think he will do his best to provoke his relationship with his brother.
Seeing that the few people were silent, Yinlu couldn't help but complain softly: "I really can't understand why Emperor Ama appointed Oroqend as the admiral of the Nine Gates?"
"The Sixteenth Master's words hit the nail on the head." Fang Bao smiled and said with a smile: "Why did the emperor appoint Orondai as the admiral of the Nine Gates? Was the emperor's move deliberately or unintentional mistakes? Is there another profound meaning behind it? We must first understand the emperor's intentions in order to be targeted."
"Every time the Emperor Ama encounters major events, he is very cautious." Yinxiang pondered: "This move directly involves the dispute over the throne. The Emperor Ama may be confused when he has a stroke, but he should not have been hasty to issue an order to replace the candidates for the Nine Gate Admiral. How can the Emperor Ama not understand the importance of the Nine Gate Admiral?"
"The Thirteenth Brother's words are reasonable, but it cannot be ruled out that the emperor's actions are an unintentional mistake." Yinzhen said jokingly: "The Emperor Ama had a stroke and was unconscious. After waking up, the dragon body was weak. When a person was weak, he lacked the sense of security, not to mention that he was in the position of the Emperor Ama, and the second brother had made rebellious moves.
Therefore, after the Emperor Ama woke up, he strengthened his defense and replaced the Nine Gate Admiral to prevent the scene of forcing the palace again. The reason why Oroqdai was appointed as the Nine Gate Admiral was naturally because Oroqdai had a rift with me and could not be recruited by me."
"The fourteenth brother's words are indeed convincing." Yinxiang said with a smile: "But, even if it is an unintentional mistake, it is not impossible to leave Beijing."
Upon hearing this, Fang Bao said with a solemn expression: "Thirteenth Master's words are very wrong. If this move is an unintentional mistake by the emperor, the Fourteenth Master can let go without any scruples."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yinzhen, Yinxiang and Yinlu read them. Yinxiang smiled and said, "Mr. Fang has made plans long ago? Tell me out and listen."
"The plan is not enough." Fang Bao pondered: "If the emperor does it deliberately, he must be extra cautious in this matter. I think the emperor is not guarding against the Fourteenth Master. Instead, he is forcing the Fourteenth Master to rebel."
Force Yinzhen to plot against him! After hearing this, Yinzhen and the other two were stunned. What does this mean? Kangxi was crazy?
After being stunned, Yinxiang said, "Sir, you're really shocking and never stop talking. You're a little alarmist."
"This is not an amazing word." Fang Bao sipped a sip of tea before saying slowly: "The Fourteenth Master's actions over the years have shown amazing talents and extraordinary vision, and are also an example of kindness, filial sons, and filial brothers and respectful brothers. The emperor has praised the Fourteenth Master twice for being an example of ministers, which shows that the emperor is extremely satisfied with the Fourteenth Master.
But why did the emperor hesitate to establish a crown prince and reluctant to make the Fourteenth Master the crown prince? Let me ask. Among the princes, who is more suitable to be the crown prince than the Fourteenth Master?
The reason why the emperor hesitated was that the changes in the past few years of the Fourteenth Master were too amazing. Whether it was temperament, talent, vision, and knowledge were very different from before. It could even be said that he was just like two people. The emperor was worried that what he saw in front of him was all the appearances disguised by the Fourteenth Master in order to fight for the throne. Therefore, he deliberately put the Fourteenth Master into danger and tried it. This is one of them."
Hearing this, Yinzhen was immediately furious and sweating. Even Fang Bao could see that the changes in the past few years were so great. How could he not see Kangxi, who had grown up since childhood? How could he not doubt it? Fang Bao is worthy of being a great talent. No one has ever mentioned this. You have to be more careful in the future.
Yinxiang glanced at Yinzhen and chuckled, "Mr. Fang's words are refreshing, but they hit the nail on the head. Since the 14th brother took the initiative to build the Agricultural College, he has become out of control and even his temperament has become much calmer. It is reasonable for the emperor to have such concerns."
Yinzhen asked himself to explain this matter so that they would not make any mistakes. At this moment, he smiled and said, "In the past, I dared not have any inappropriate thoughts. Following the starling brother and others, he wanted to avoid being excluded and not being suppressed. Naturally, he was unmotivated and passed by. The second brother was deposed as the crown prince, which gave me hope. He restrained himself everywhere in matters and began to concentrate on state affairs and take the world as his own responsibility."
Yinxiang said in surprise: "At that time, the second brother had just regained the position of crown prince. At that time, the fourteenth brother realized that the second brother could not retain the position of crown prince in the end?"
"Brother Thirteenth still doesn't believe my vision?" Yinzhen asked without answering.
"Believe, believe, I am so impressed." Yinxiang chuckled, and changed the subject and said, "Mr. Fang just said one thing, it seems there is another thing?"
Fang Bao said slightly, "The 14th Master is both civil and military, talented, and has many brothers and respectful brothers. This is unquestionable, but it is different for the king and the minister. The princes, from the old man to the sixteenth Master, are all outstanding in qualifications and extraordinary in martial arts. In recent years, the Fourteenth Master has recruited the 13th Master, the 15th Master, the 16th Master, the 8th Master, the 9th Master, the 10th Master, the 10th Master, the 10th Master, the 10th Master, the 10th Master, the 10th Master, the 2nd Master, the 4th Master, and the 4th Master, and suggested visiting the 2nd Master.
It can be said that he has the brotherhood of brotherhood. Being a minister is naturally a role model. But once he is a king, how can he control these many heroic and ambitious brothers?
Orolongtai is a member of the Eighth Master Party. In this case, he will serve as the Admiral of the Nine Gate, which will inevitably arouse the Eighth Master's ambition. As the Fourteenth Master said, once the Eighth Master openly fights for the crown prince, the Third Master, the Fourth Master and other princes who are fighting for the crown prince will be moved, which is a real move.
The Fourteenth Master’s Navy is far away in Nanyang at this time. How can the Fourteenth Master control this situation without the help of force? This should be the emperor’s real intention, and this is the second one.”
Yinzhen nodded, and this made sense. He repeatedly proposed to release the eldest brother, and the second brother went abroad to go on an expedition to cater to Kangxi's favor. He also seemed to be too tolerant of the fourth brother, and he ranked the fourth brother, so Kangxi was worried that he could not control a group of ambitious brothers. It was reasonable.
Yinxiang raised his eyebrows and asked happily: "What do you mean by sir. The emperor is taking this opportunity to check whether the 14th brother has the ability to be a crown prince?"
"It's not exactly like this." Fang Bao smiled and said, "After the former crown prince's two decrees, the emperor has become extremely cautious in the matter of establishing a crown prince, but the tendency to establish the 14th Master as a crown prince is still very high. This is not only to examine the 14th Master's abilities, but also to observe the shortcomings of the 14th Master in order to provide targeted guidance in the future."
Yinxiang nodded and said, "Sir, there are three more?"
"The third is just secondary." Fang Bao said, taking another sip of tea, and then slowly said: "The emperor was generous and kind. The reason why the Qing Dynasty was able to create today's situation was because the emperor ruled leniently, treated the gentry and the people well, and treated civil and military officials well. The emperor naturally hoped to continue this relaxed situation and allow the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty to continue.
The Fourteenth Master is a little bit brutal when dealing with the indigenous people of South China. I guess the emperor also uses the enemy Orolongtai to test the Fourteenth Master's nature."
Yinxiang smiled relaxedly and said, "Haha, after Mr. Jing said this, Orostrodai is really a rare touchstone. In this situation, no one is more suitable to be the admiral of these nine gates than him."
Yinzhen secretly praised Fang Bao for his thoughts in his heart. Kangxi might not have such an intention. But if he did not pay attention to this, he would be criticized by Kangxi in the future. It seems that in the future, it would be best to just do it and not talk about it, or find a scapegoat and ascend the throne before he ascends the throne.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Bao said solemnly: "Fourth Master, the emperor may have acted unintentionally, but the possibility of deliberate action is even greater. I think that the best strategy is to defeat others without fighting."
Yinxiang frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Fang Bao and asked, "It is naturally the best strategy to defeat others without fighting, but how can the starlings and the others give up easily? Third and fourth brothers will not give up. How can we defeat others without fighting? Do you have a clever plan?"
"I have this idea, but I have no good plans." Fang Bao shook his head slightly and said.
Whether Kangxi was unintentional or intentional, it was naturally the best choice to turn the upcoming crisis of the scramble for the stock market into invisible. Yinzhen frowned and thought hard. In this situation, the starling brother and the others did not control their troops. The third and fourth brothers dared not act rashly. He just had to be careful of the fourth brothers' secretly provoking it, and it would be very relaxed.
But how can we make our brother and others give up? Now that we can't take advantage of Kangxi's power, we can't beat our brother, so why should we stop?

Prince Yong’s mansion, back garden, south courtyard cottage.
Yinzhen and Wu Sidao stood and sat down, both of them were meditating and silent.
Standing in front of the window and looking at the spring scenery all over the garden, Yinzhen frowned slightly. Changchun Garden blocked the news. Kangxi's condition was obviously unpredictable, but Kangxi did not make a crown prince after briefly awakening, but instead replaced the candidate for the Nine Gate Admiral. This seemed very strange. Is Kangxi's critical illness a trap?
Even if it is a trap, he has to jump. How bad can the ending be? It's just a ban, not much worse than an expedition to Europe. I have to say that Kangxi's methods are indeed higher. With just changing to the Nine Gate Admiral, the situation in the entire capital will change, and the alliance between the eighth and the fourteenth is broken down without any effort. But what is the purpose of Kangxi doing this?
Hearing a sound behind him, he turned around and Yinzhen saw Wu Sidao making tea. He knew that he had already thought about it, so he turned back to the table and sat down, saying, "Mr. Wu, do you think this is like a trap?"
Wu Sidao picked up the teacup and sipped a few sips before saying, "Fourth Master, the trap may be very small. The emperor is the most famous. The celebration of the 60th birthday celebration is celebrated together. It can be said to be a celebration of the ages. This is to be recorded in history. How could the emperor set up a plan at this cost? Moreover, many people have witnessed the emperor's excessive drinking, and stroke is also a disease that is prone to elderly people. Excessive drinking is not uncommon to cause stroke. Therefore, it should be true that the emperor has a stroke and a coma.
After the emperor briefly awakened, he replaced the Nine Gate Admiral. Whether it was hasty or thought carefully, the Fourth Master did not need to spend time thinking, because for the Fourth Master, the more chaotic the situation, the better and the more chaotic the situation, the more the Fourth Master has the chance to win in chaos."
Yinzhen nodded and said, "Mr. Wu said so much. The more chaotic the situation, the more beneficial it will be to us. But if the emperor is safe and the situation is chaotic, what's the benefit?"
"No matter whether the emperor is bad or not, as long as Changchun Garden blocks the news, it is an opportunity for the Fourth Master." Wu Sidao said calmly; "The Fourth Master is not a clear sword and a spear. Why should we worry too much? Let's spend a lot of effort to muddle the water first, and only in the capital city is in chaos. The Fourth Master has a chance, otherwise there will be no chance."
Yinzhen looked at Wu Sidao in surprise and asked in confusion: "The emperor is fine. What's the benefit even if the water is muddy?"
"The Fourth Master didn't understand?" Wu Sidao smiled slightly and said, "Whether the Emperor is interested in the Fourteenth Master or the Eighth Master, in short, the Emperor does not mean that the Fourth Master is interested in the Fourth Master. The Emperor is only in a coma for a few days. The capital is in chaos. What is the emperor's impression of the Fourteenth Master and the Eighth Master? Will he doubt their ability? Will he postpone the time for the appointment of the crown prince? So, even if the Emperor is safe, the Fourth Master can disrupt the capital, which is a small victory."
What is Xiaosheng? Once you go to Europe, when will you go back to Beijing? Even if you postpone the appointment of a crown prince, what will you do with me? However, Yinzhen immediately realized that if Kangxi was really dissatisfied with the Eleventh and the Eleventh, he could break his hand and foot, so would he stay in the capital as he wished? At that time, he would pass the "sticky rod" far away, and see how Eleventh caught me?
Stirring the water. How to stir up the water? There are so few people who can use it now. Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help but frown slightly. Most of the people in the "sticky rod" have already gone south. Where can I summon people in a short period of time?
Wu Sidao glanced at him and smiled and said, "Is the Fourth Master feeling that he is not in enough staff?"
"Mr. Wu has a solution?" Yinzhen asked suspiciously.
"There is no hurry to do this." Wu Sidao took a sip of tea before saying: "Oroneda's new admiral of the Nine Gate also needs time to integrate his subordinates. The capital can be calm for a few days. The Fourth Master can calm down and let Oroneda concentrate on integrating his subordinates for the time being so that the eight parties will openly compete for the stock market in advance."
Yinzhen nodded slightly, saying that it was time for Lao Ba and the others to take action as soon as possible. He was able to act secretly and pondered for a moment. He asked with concern: "What if the emperor wakes up soon?"
Wu Sidao smiled and said, "What else can be done is just a waste of work."

Faced with this sudden change, the princes and princes were busy discussing solutions. The royal family, princes, nobles, civil and military ministers were not idle either. They either sat behind closed doors at home to search for the dry intestines to determine how to stand, or they sat down to discuss the situation with three or five friends, analyzing which prince had a greater chance of winning, or the party gathered and talked about gains and losses in detail.
Although he only changed a candidate for the Nine Gate Admiral, the Fourteenth Party, who had the greatest chance of winning and the highest call, was greatly impacted. Kangxi's distrust and the separation of the Eighth Party, greatly reduced the strength of the Fourteenth Party, and the prestige of the Fourteenth Party was also greatly weakened.
Everyone expected that the Eighth Prince Party would make a comeback. The eighth Prince Yinsi, who had the right time, place and people, would never miss the opportunity. No one could predict who would win the final victory.
For a time, the palace of Prince Lian and Prince Xun were crowded with people, and there were endless ministers coming to inquire about the news. Even Li Guangdi, Zhang Penghong, Xiao Yongzao, Ma Qi, Wang Yu, Wen Da and other ministers in the study were also constantly coming to inquire about Kangxi's condition, explore the eight parties and the fourteen parties' falsehoods.
Officials who were not worth enough went directly to their boss and friends to find out the news. The streets and alleys of the capital were constantly ringing, and the sound of gongs was heard one after another.
This abnormal situation naturally caused panic and suspicion among the people in the capital, and they went out to find out the news. The news of Kangxi's stroke and coma soon spread in the capital. Even if the people in the capital were not knowledgeable, they would be full of ears and eyes. The most basic principle of the emperor and the ministers was that everyone understood. Once Kangxi died and the new king ascended the top, no one could say what the situation would be.
During the decades of Kangxi's reign, at least everyone could still eat and wear warm clothes and have a stable life. Therefore, after the news spread, every family burned incense, every household worshiped Buddha, and spontaneously prayed for Kangxi. The temples and Taoist temples inside and outside the capital were also overcrowded, and the monks also replaced the Sutra of the Wansheng Sutra with the Diamond Sutra, the Ksitigarbha Sutra, and the Heart Sutra of the Boruto.
In the harem of the Forbidden City, from the Empress Dowager to the promise, they always fasted spontaneously and prayed for Kangxi's sutras in the Buddhist temple. This was not the case, but purely out of sincerity. If Kangxi died, they would end up in the cold palace.
*
The most complacent and ambitious person in the entire capital should be Orondee and the eighth prince Yinsi, while the most depressed person should be Longkodo. The two years before the nine admirals were served, they were dismissed for no reason. If you say you are not depressed, you would be deceiving yourself.
Longkodo naturally knew that he was a victim of the struggle between the Eighth and the Fourteenth Party. Therefore, after hearing the news, he thought about the formation for a while and rushed to Prince Heng's mansion. He knew very well that if he made a comeback, no one except the Fourteenth Party could help him.
After handing over a famous post at Prince Heng's Mansion, Longkodo couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Will the Fourteenth Master meet him? How long will he wait? How should he talk after meeting him? He complained, that's absolutely impossible. It's too early to seek a job. He suddenly remembered the matter of Yinzhen's order to monitor the Fourth Prince. Yes, he took the reason to report the matter.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the Zhike who had come in to report and ran out quickly and said without even being able to salute, "Mr. Long, Prince Xun has come out to greet you in person. You are the first one."
The Fourteenth Master came out to greet him in person? Longkodo felt aroused in his heart. In the officialdom, people were leaving, and tea was cold. Unexpectedly, the Fourteenth Master actually valued friendship so much. It was not considered a mistake to join him at the beginning. (To be continued)
