What happened to Li Dequan at this critical moment? Could it be that he was sending an order? But why did he stand behind the door and not speak out? Bao Fuquan couldn't help but wonder that he was the eunuch in charge of Yuqing Palace, so he naturally did not dare to leave his position without authorization. If Yinzhen wanted to scatter the court and not see others, it would not be a trivial matter. But Li Dequan came, it was also not a trivial matter.

After pondering slightly, Bao Fuquan moved forward a few steps without hesitation. When Yinzhen finished speaking, he lowered his head and reported softly: "Crown Prince, Li Dequan is here, standing behind the door."

When Li Dequan was behind the door, Yinzhen was also stunned. In a second thought, he realized that Kangxi was worried that he could not suppress his position and specifically condemned Li Dequan to come. He thought of it, Li Dequan must have an imperial edict. Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but feel a little warm. It seemed that Kangxi was still very concerned about solving the livelihood of the bannerman. As long as Kangxi was firm in his attitude, this matter would be much easier to deal with.

However, he has now fully controlled the situation and no longer needs to rely on Kangxi's prestige. Moreover, from Li Dequan just watching behind the door, it can be seen that Kangxi is obviously unwilling to make it public. He supports this matter with great fanfare. He couldn't help but frown slightly. Is Kangxi treating him as a pawn across the river?

Yinzhen on the stage was unhappy, but the princes and nobles below the stage were silent. Yinzhen's last words intended to connect the livelihood of the bannermen with the rectification of the flag. It was a clear warning to them that the bannermen would dare to disobey the flagmen in the military workshop and work, and they would attack someone when they rectify the flagmen.

Kangxi ordered the crown prince to rectify the flag affairs and solve the livelihood of the bannermen. They all knew that for so long, the crown prince had no movement except for planning a crackdown in the capital and building several sects. They originally thought that the crown prince retreated because he had been troubled for a while, but the crown prince was waiting for them here.

The crown prince presided over the rectification of the flag affairs, and the banner masters and ministers were a little scared. The prince dared to move the eight banner system. God knows whether he would take this opportunity to make a major innovation in the flag affairs? It seems that the bannerman cannot be neglected when he enters the workshop to work.

Yinzhen glanced at everyone below the steps, and when he saw no one silence, he stood up. Bao Fuquan quickly sang: "Get out of court."

Seeing Yinzhen coming down the steps of Qianqing Gate, Li Dequan hurriedly went up. He pierced Qian'er respectfully and neatly and said, "Slave Li Dequan pays homage to the crown prince."

Yinzhen smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Li doesn't need to be very polite. I'll have to come here early in the morning. Thank you for your hard work."

"The Crown Prince's words are the ones who killed me." Li Dequan stood up and said with a smile.

"Does the emperor have an order?" Yinzhen asked warmly.

"Return to the Crown Prince." Li Dequan bowed and said, "The emperor did have an order, but it was promoted to Wang Xiangling, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and promoted Wang Xiangling to Minister of Works."

Yinzhen nodded slightly. Wang Xiangling was in the case of "Nanshan Ji", and he personally came out to retrieve it. He brought it into the 14th Party. Kangxi's move was just a favor. All military workshops in Shanghai and Tianjin were included in the Ministry of Works. Tens of thousands of bannermen entered the military workshop to work. The annual expenses were astonishing. It was impossible to support the normal annual income of the court alone. This Minister of Works was not his Yinzhen's person. He could not control such a big situation at all.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He originally wanted to promote his father-in-law, Luo Cha, the Minister of Works, to the Minister of Works. Unexpectedly, Kangxi promoted Wang Xiangling. In this way, he would be in the Ministry of Personnel. Kangxi was really a good method. He could give such a favor. He could not only support him, but also compress his sphere of influence. This method really had to be learned well.

Seeing that Yinzhen had not made a sound, Li Dequan bowed and said, "If the crown prince had no other orders, I will rush to the Ministry of Personnel to announce the edict."

"Then I won't delay General Li's management." Yinzhen turned his head slightly, and then ordered Bao Fuquan to say, "Mr. Wang is an honest official and immediately sends him a thousand taels of silver. I will regard the joy of my palace congratulating him on his promotion."

When Li Dequan heard this, he naturally knew that the crown prince was trying to give him money in a different way. He was so crowded that he didn't dare to thank him. He bowed and said, "I took my leave."

Shortly after returning to Yuqing Palace, he heard the eighth prince and the ninth prince asking for a meeting. Yinzhen knew that the two must have been for the matter of Prince Bumuba of Shuncheng. He came to explain. He pondered for a moment, but still stood up to greet them. He did not have to show them the face for this little thing. Not to mention that he is still the prince now, even if he ascended the throne, there are many places to borrow them, so he must win them over.

When he came out of the hall, he saw Yinsi and Yinzhen coming together. Yinzhen took a few steps forward, stood in front of the steps, and said with a smile: "Brother, Ninth Brother, today really made me a false alarm."

When Yinzhen heard what he said, Yinsi and Yinzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The Fourteenth brother could complain in person, which means that he was not a surprise. If he kept silent, it would be a problem.

The two of them stepped forward and held their fists and bowed halfway. After seeing the ceremony, Yinsi smiled and said with a smile: "Bumba's stubborn donkey really ruin our face. He said it well yesterday. Even if he had any opinions, he could only ask his subordinates to suggest that the banner owner should not make any statements. When the matter was about to come, he took the lead in the battle. At the court meeting, the starling brother had no shame to see you."

"That's a rough man, and the fourteenth brother doesn't need to be as good as his experience." Yinzhen also chuckled: "Fortunately, there is no danger, otherwise we will have no shame to come to see the fourteenth brother."

"Let's talk about it when you enter the house." Yinzhen said with a smile, and then reached out to give in.

The three of them entered the house and sat down, and Yinzhen continued: "The fourteenth brother used this trick to capture the thief first today. The navy did not protect the overseas territories, which was a masterpiece. It was a magical stroke. It was a capture of the weakness of the banner owners of each banner. Yesterday, why didn't you mention it? If you had this statement yesterday, today's situation would not be so thrilling."

"I mentioned yesterday that the Navy and the New Guard Army were selected from the families of the bannermen who entered the military workshop. I thought that the banner owners and princes and nobles would be concerned, but they didn't know that they ignored the lives and deaths of the bannermen under their posts." Yinzhen smiled bitterly and said, "I was forced to do nothing, and I was too eager to be wise. Although I knew that such a threat at the court meeting was completely inferior, I could not help myself. If I had thought about it, why would it be so embarrassing?"

"Thanks to my urgency for the 14th brother." Yinzhen nodded and said, "What these banner owners are most afraid of is the dissatisfaction of the princes and nobles under their jurisdiction, and the bannermen are second."

Yinsi was unwilling to follow this topic anymore. He pondered for a moment, and then asked with a solemn expression: "Since the Emperor Ama supports it, why didn't he issue an edict? But let the 14th brother charge alone?"

Yinsi's question clearly doubted Kangxi's support for this matter. Yinzhen naturally would not say the truth, in order not to undermine their enthusiasm. He nodded slightly and said: "This matter touched the foundation of the Eight Banners. The Emperor Ama was also worried that the banner owners and princes and nobles would react fiercely, and deliberately left room for maneuver. This morning, Li Dequan was in the back of the Qing Dynasty. The emperor issued a Taoist edict and moved Wang Xiangling, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, to the Minister of Works."

Wang Xiangling was the fourth-fourth person. Yinsi and Yinzhen naturally knew that at this critical moment, they promoted Wang Xiangling to the Minister of Works. Although Kangxi did not say it clearly, his attitude was clear. When they heard this, both of them felt relieved. Since Kangxi supported the fourth-fourth person, they were full of confidence in this matter.

After pondering for a moment, Yinsi asked carefully: "I heard from my ninth brother that the 14th brother wanted information about the Korean vassal state. There was also news in the court that the 14th brother wanted to strengthen the vassal relationship. This matter is not small. I wonder if the 14th brother intended to give a speech to the public to observe the reaction, or had he received the approval from the Emperor Ama?"

Seeing Yinsi feeling quite worried, Yinzhen couldn't help but smile. It seemed that the ministers in the court were worried, and these neighbors of the Qing Dynasty had nothing good. Not to mention that North Korea is a bottomless pit, Vietnam is even more ungrateful. Laos and Myanmar's Golden Triangle is even more a drug production base, let alone Japan, India is also constantly in disputes. Now taking advantage of this great opportunity, we will naturally have to resolve them once and for all.

After pondering slightly, Yinzhen said: "The Korean vassal states first surrendered to our Qing Dynasty, and the relationship between the two countries was the closest. However, over the years, we have rarely interfered with North Korea's internal affairs and diplomacy. The main enemies of the Qing Dynasty are now the maritime powers in Europe and Russia in the north.

Russia will not mention it for now. Just talk about the maritime powers in Europe. If they want to invade the Qing Dynasty, they must first find a place to stay near us. Otherwise, they will not be able to stand the long logistics supply. This is also the reason why the South China Sea Fleet must first find allies during its expedition to Europe, and also find a place to stay in Africa.

My brother, the ocean is very large and there are many trends that are conducive to sea navigation. Our fleets to the Americas must use the warm current of the dark tide to pass through Japan. In other words, fleets of European countries can enter the Qing Dynasty from the Americas through Japan or North Korea. If they use Japan or North Korea as their destination and establish a logistics supply base, it will be easy to invade our Qing Dynasty.

A vassal state is also a country. As long as there are sufficient interests, it is common to turn against the sect leader state. Once it is strong enough, it is not uncommon to attack the sect leader state. In the past, we were not capable, but now we have this ability, why do we still have hidden dangers for our descendants?

As the saying goes, the birds are hidden all over the bow. Since Japan has surrendered, North Korea is no longer a buffer zone and there is no need to continue to exist. Japan, North Korea, and Ryukyu, these three vassal states must take advantage of the strong national strength to be included in the Qing territory and cannot leave hidden dangers."

Yinsi and Yinzhen did not expect that the Fourteenth Old is not trying to strengthen the vassal relationship, but to directly embezzle these three vassal states. For strategic considerations, they both understood that the Fourteenth Old is deliberately making a statement about strengthening the vassal relationship, which was just a means to cause panic among the vassal states and then force them to cut off the vassal relationship in order to justify embezzlement.
