Chapter 63

Seeing Kangxi smile, Yinsi felt a little relaxed. Anyway, he was selling the favors of the fourteenth brother, so he simply sold it a little bigger. "This is also the idea of ​​the fourteenth brother. He said that when the project progresses smoothly and has achieved some success, he will report it to the Emperor Ama, and Emperor Ama will preside over this kind of act."

"Yeah, it's rare that the fourteenth brother has this filial piety." Kangxi felt very upset in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he said: "I will be content with this filial piety. This matter is an unprecedented initiative since the construction of Beijing's capital. It is not only related to the people's livelihood in the capital, but also a major government affairs of the court. Try it in the capital first. If the effect is good, it can be implemented nationwide. There is no need to hide this matter anymore. Yinsi, you will be in charge of this matter. I will allocate 100,000 taels of silver from the treasury and repair the streets. The rectification of this capital will start with cleanliness and tidy." [The latest updates are all in search.]

"My son respects the order." Yinsi was overjoyed. He heard the emperor's intention that he wanted to vigorously rectify the capital and take charge of the general. This was a positive signal. Since the incident of all officials proposing the prince, he has been left with no hesitation by Kangxi, and even had to be sick at home to avoid the limelight. This time, he was able to be re-attentioned by the emperor's majesty, thanks to the idea of ​​the fourteenth brother.

Yinsi returned to the mansion with joy. Before he could sit firmly, the ninth emperor Yinzhen came to the door in a hurry. As soon as he saw Yinsi, he said anxiously, "Big Brother, I don't know which Tianshao released the rumor. He actually said that when Li Zicheng left the capital, he buried a lot of gold, silver and jade artifacts that he could not take away. Now, the entire capital is in sensation. The people not only prevented the continued digging of the gutters, but also began to dig the gutters everywhere in a crazily manner. What should we do?"

Yinsi said leisurely: "Don't panic, sit down, have a cup of tea first."

"It's so hot, why are you drinking tea?" Yinzhen sat down, "Brother, you have to think of a way quickly. If this continues, in half a day, the entire capital's ditch will be dug. If you are impeached by those dirty officials, let alone the merits, it would be a blessing not to be blamed."

"Haha, don't be anxious." Yinsi smiled, "I just came back from the palace." As he said that, he repeated the "" "" that Kangxi summoned him."

"Congratulations to my brother, I finally saw the moon bright, Yunkai." Yinzhen said happily as soon as he heard this, "Since that's the case, I will go to Shuntian Mansion and ask them to make an announcement on the list. Anyone who dares to dig randomly will be arrested, and they must deal with these troublemakers."

"No, ninth brother." Yinsi quickly stopped him, "This is a great good deed. Don't be reckless. It will cause public grievances. Let Shuntian Mansion issue an announcement, send yamen runners to explain, and then notify the five cities of the military commanders to assist, and not arrest people, and disperse them. In addition, it must be made clear that this is government affairs, which is led by the Emperor Ama. Emperor Ama has paid 100,000 yuan in the treasury."

The riots in the capital soon disappeared invisible under the joint pressure of the Shuntian Prefecture yamen runners and the soldiers and soldiers of the five cities. With the posting of the notice, people realized that this was a great good policy of Emperor Kangxi, and the capital immediately returned to peace.

When the news reached the back garden of Prince Yong's Mansion, Yinzhen couldn't help but look at Wu Sidao inquiring. Wu Sidao pondered: "Since the emperor has been involved, he can only do it with the flow."

He followed the trend again? Yinzhen was stunned. How did he follow the rules this time?

Wu Sidao did not keep it in hiding this time, and then said, "Since the priest has allocated 100,000 silver in the treasury, it means that the priest does not want the court to intervene in this matter. I don't know whether the priest wants to fulfill the eighth master or the fourteenth master. Regardless of this, the 100,000 silver in the treasury is not a small amount. The capital is afraid that it will make major rectifications this time."

After thinking for a while, he continued: "The Fourth Master is best to donate 5,000 to 10,000 yuan for this rectification."

Donating silver to Lao Ba? What does it mean? Yinzhen was immediately puzzled. He was his mortal enemy. He donated silver to him to show off and make political achievements. But he knew that Wu Sidao would not speak nonsense, so he followed this idea, but after thinking about it, he didn't find any benefits he could do. If he did this, he would be complained by his brothers and ministers.

"Mr. Wu, I can't understand this matter, so please give me some advice."

"Fourth Master, you can't do everything and get the effect of seeing the shadows." Wu Sidao slowed down and said, "Fighting for the crown prince is actually fighting for the Sacred Heart. What is the impression of the Fourth Master now? Sidao is not clear, and the Fourth Master is probably confused, but one thing is certain. The Fourth Master is not the ideal candidate for the crown prince in the mind of the Lord. Is there an ideal candidate for the crown prince in the mind of the Lord? In Sidao's opinion, there is no one yet."

Yinzhen's heart suddenly jumped and hesitated, "The emperor now has great trust in the crown prince. The previous one is accurate, and he also invites the crown prince to talk every day. The news from the palace also said that the two of them had a great conversation together. Why did the sir dare to assert this way?"

"These are all appearances." Wu Sidao said calmly, "The Fourth Master cannot be shaken. You can see the prince's small actions in private, and the emperor should also see them. What a pleasant conversation? It's just a show."

After pondering for a while, Wu Sidao continued: "The Fourth Master doesn't need to pay attention to the prince's affairs now. What you have to do now is to keep leaving a good impression in the Lord's heart. If you want to change your impression in the Lord's mind, it cannot be done in one or two things. As the saying goes, the horsepower is known from afar, and people's hearts are seen over time. The Fourth Master needs to win the Lord's favor bit by bit, and it will eventually achieve something over time.

This time, I took the initiative to donate, and it was an opportunity. The emperor wanted to not pay attention to you. Once you donate, other princes would have to donate, no matter whether they were willing or not. When the princes donated, the ministers would also have to donate. Finally, the emperor who received a large amount of donations would only remember the Fourth Master, do you think you are good? Secondly, as soon as you donate, you will lose the power and contribution of the Eighth Master."

Yinzhen still hesitated and said, "This is a benefit, but I have become the object of jealousy among the brothers and ministers? Lao Ba is buying people's hearts, but I am offending people."

"It doesn't matter whether others hate you. As long as the emperor doesn't hate you, you will become a success. You are not the Eighth Master's opponent. Besides, the emperor hates forming cliques and making personal gains the most. It is better to do the opposite. Be an isolated minister, and perhaps even more popular with the emperor." When he said this, Wu Sidao gently caressed his beard, "It was not possible for all officials to recommend the Eighth Master back then, but now all officials hate the Fourth Master? It is no longer more important to establish a crown prince than ordinary government affairs, all within the thoughts of the Lord."

The next morning, when the court was about to disperse, Yinzhen stood up, "Report to Emperor Ama, the eighth brother, the ninth brother, the tenth brother, the fourteenth brother, care about the people's conditions, and to solve the suffering of the people in the capital, I contributed money to the construction of garbage stations and the renovation of the drainage ditch, etc. As my elder brother, I am really ashamed. Now I am willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver to express my feelings. I hope Emperor Ama will allow it."
