Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 128
Xue Hong was dumbfounded. No matter whether it was official history or unofficial history, he had never heard that the fourth elder brother Yinzhen could do the work of a bamboo craftsman?
The fourth elder brother saw that Xue Hong was staring at the willow basket in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's farming and mulberry, weaving willow baskets. Doing such a simple job can calm my mind. Tingyu, go find this child I'm afraid he seldom eats the wild game in the mountains."

Zhang Tingyu went out with a smile. In this small room, there were only four princes and Xue Hong left.

Only then did Xue Hong remember to salute the fourth elder brother, but was lifted up by the fourth elder brother: "I see you in such a hidden place today, and I have a few words to ask, and save these empty greetings."

"Master, please ask, Xue Hong must know everything and say everything."

When Xue Hong said this, not only his hands and lips trembled, but even his heart trembled. He was already extremely nervous.

As expected, Yinzhen was silent for a while and asked him in a cold voice: "Master? When did I become your master?"

Xue Hong knelt down with a thud: "Our Xue family is grateful to Mr. Zhang for not abandoning it and being reused. Now the fourth elder brother is Master Zhang's master, and naturally he is also the master of the Xue family. The only master in the Xue family is the saddle."

After saying this, Xue Hong himself felt a little sick to his stomach, he really wasn't suitable for saying such bloody things, it was really a bit disgusting.

Xue Hong didn't dare to raise his head, so naturally he couldn't see the inquiring and playful expression on Brother Si's face.

After a long while, Xue Hong felt that her knee was not her own, and the fourth elder brother let go, and said softly, "Just get up."

"Yes."

"Why did you choose me instead of other elder brothers?"

Xue Hong was terrified, but it was not unprepared for this question. Xue Yi had also discussed with him how to answer this question.

"My father said that the Xue family has been imperial merchants for generations, so they are not short of money. What we lack is an honor and a tenable position.

Eldest brother and the prince, headed by Mingzhu and Suo Entu in the early years, were surrounded by royal family and nobles, who could look up to my Xue family?Although Mingzhu and Suo'etu are gone now, there is still no place for our Xue family beside these two elder brothers, so it is really impossible to choose.

The eighth elder brother is unscrupulous, and he probably won't mind our identity as a merchant from the Xue family.It's a pity that there is a mixed bag of fish and dragons in his place, and the same aides are fighting each other. No matter how powerful the force is, it cannot withstand long-term internal friction.In the eyes of our Xue family, the eighth elder brother is only better than the large number of people.

And fourth elder brother...with all due respect, your talent may not be the most outstanding among the emperor's adult princes, but your strategy and decision-making are beyond the reach of all elder brothers. What's more, you are meticulous in thinking and daring to innovate In terms of courage, I'm afraid that even the brave and brave Fourteenth Lord is far behind you.

What's more, you have always hired people who are not worthy, and you don't need them. Although there are not many people who follow you, they all have a good future. Even Cheng Jinliang, who was dismissed recently, you have arranged a good life. It also promised to enable it in the future.

As a minister, in fact, there is no requirement, only to be able to follow a wise master. "

Xue Hong knows that there is no need to show loyalty like this, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen will always use the Xue family.Because not only does he have no trusted people in his hands now, but he is also not as rich as the prince and eighth elder brother.

In the crown prince's womb, the reward from Emperor Kangxi alone is enough for him to plan many things, but the eighth elder brother has a lot of people around him and a lot of "filial piety", so naturally he is not short of money.

Brother Si is different here.He was short of both men and money, so naturally he would not refuse the Xue family's surrender.Of course, the fourth master is moody and decisive. Since he decided to stay with him and wait for some meat to eat in the future, he must be cautious all the time. Being with the king is like accompanying a tiger. The fourth master is even more difficult to serve than Kangxi. Lord, how can we not be careful?

After hearing Xue Hong's words, Yin Zhen was noncommittal and refused to comment.He just asked, "Who do you think is the strongest enemy among my brothers in the current situation?"

Xue Hong said in her heart, what kind of rival?You are the final winner, right?But at this time the crown prince is not abolished, no matter how much the eighth elder brother jumps up and down again, the position of the East Palace is still very stable, and no one dares to bet on the other elder brothers no matter how ambitious they are.

After all, the prince is the most important child of Lord Kangxi, who made his mother, Empress Xiao Chengren, the most important child of Lord Kangxi?

It's a pity that Queen Hesheli of Xiaochengren was not blessed. She had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to Yinreng, and she was only 20 years old when she died.Perhaps it was because she was too young when she died, and took away all the love and tenderness that Lord Kangxi had for his wife as a man.Otherwise, the second prince Yinreng would not have been named the prince just after he turned one year old.

He pinned all his thoughts and sorrows for his dead wife on this son, and he could still see her shadow from the corners of the child's brows and eyes.It seemed that as long as this son could stay by his side for a long time, she never really left.

Prince Yinreng bears the deepest and most ardent emotions of Lord Kangxi as a husband, father and even a king.

It's just that the prince's actions in recent years have gone too far. I'm afraid that the love and affection for her mother in Lord Kangxi's heart will soon be worn away by this bastard son who is eager to seize power from his father. .

Xue Hong lingered in his mind for a while, and he chose an ambiguous answer to Yinzhen's question: "I think that if the crown prince is likely to be abolished, then the master's chances are equal to those of other elder brothers, and whoever wins will win." Let's see who will make plans. But if the crown prince's status continues to be stable, then...hehe, it's not that I'm talking harshly. If that's the case, the only thing the master can do is to be kind to the prince. The days after the prince ascends the throne will not be so sad .”

Although Yinzhen was the daughter of the concubine Wu Ya, because Wu Ya's status in the harem was only a small concubine when he gave birth to him, Emperor Kangxi gave him to the noble concubine Tong Jia to raise him.

Yinfeng did not have a biological mother to raise him, and Yinzhen had a biological mother who could not support him. The two formed a deep friendship when they were young. When they grew up, each of them had ambitions in their hearts. Zhen also deliberated for a long time before making up his mind to seize the heir.

Among them, the reason why Yinzhen is determined to take the road of seizing the heir is because the temptation of power is the opposite, but the decisive factor is the comparison between him and the prince.

When there is a comparison, there is a gap, when there is a gap, there is sadness, when there is sadness, there is jealousy.This vicious circle has been vicious since ancient times, and no matter how educated people are, they are rarely exempt from it.The same is true for Yinzhen.
