Prince of the Qing Dynasty

After Kangxi granted titles to the adult princes, he asked them to choose to live outside the palace and build mansions, and then they went out of the palace to live in separate mansions.

The selection of the site is ordered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After the Ministry of Internal Affairs has made the selection, the princes will be asked to choose the site themselves, and then the Ministry of Internal Affairs will allocate funds to build the mansion.

Ling Pu has been very busy with this matter these days. Since he became the head of the House of Internal Affairs, he has more and more errands. It is rare to go to Yinfeng to pay his respects. He can tell Yinreng many things through Gu Shi, and if Yinreng has something to say, he can also convey it through Gu Shi.

However, today Ling Pu had no choice but to look for Yinfeng, because he had something to tell.

After hearing Ling Pu's words, Yinreng smiled and said, "You came to me just for this idea?"

Ling Pu was taken aback: "Master, isn't this big enough?"

"What Sibeile wants to do, you let him do it, he has his own ideas, what do you care about him? Besides, this matter was decided by Huang Ama, let the princes choose their own residences, you just care Just pay the money to build the mansion, you don’t have to worry about anything else.”

Yinfeng smiled and said a few words, but he didn't think what Ling Pu said could be a big deal.

It's just that the place Yinzhen chose was with Babeile and the others, so what's the matter.

"But," Ling Pu was still worried, and said again, "Prince, don't blame this servant for talking too much. I am now working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I have learned a lot in the past few years. The slave's daughter-in-law is in the prince's office. Serving as an errand in front of the prince is the same as a servant working in front of the prince. Therefore, the slave is different from those idiots. He still understands the difficulties of the prince. Therefore, the slave is somewhat confused when he sees the choice of the man. Yes, I came here specially to talk to the crown prince, and I also wanted to ask for clarification."

Ling Pu really can't figure it out, the crown prince has been the closest to King Cheng and Sibeile these years, why is it that King Cheng and Sibeile don't live together anymore when things come to an end?

According to the information in Ling Pu's hand, the addresses chosen by the elder brothers this time are really a bit weird.

King Zhijun lived alone, King Cheng’s mansion was with Wubeile’s and Sevenbeile’s, and Sibeile was next to Babeile’s mansion. Ling Pu sighed silently in his heart. There was no room next to it, so Babeile found another place to live, but why did Sibeile live next to Babeile?

Ling Pu knew that Yinreng had been in the deep palace for a long time, and it might be too late when the news reached Yinreng. He rushed to Yuqing Palace first and told Yinreng about this matter.

"I understand what you're thinking," Yinfeng said with a smile, "Sibeile has his own reasons for doing this, so you don't need to worry about it. Just go about your business."

If Ling Pu didn't come to tell him, Yinfeng really didn't know the news.He also knew what Ling Pu meant, but he was just worried that Yinzhen would be with Yinhu and the others again, otherwise why would the location be adjacent to Yinhu's mansion?However, Yinreng believes that Yinzhen's doing this must be his own consideration, and he really doesn't have to be like Ling Pu, who made a fuss when he got such news.

Seeing that Yinfeng was still so calm after talking about it, Ling Pu didn't feel so flustered anymore, so he talked about another news: "Prince, I heard that the emperor is going to tour the south again. Is it true?"

In fact, Yinfeng had never heard of this news at all. He didn't answer Ling Pu's words, but looked at Ling Pu calmly and said, "Who did you hear from?"

Facing Yinreng's questioning, Ling Pu readily confessed the source of the news: "The servant heard about it. It is said that the emperor saw the memorial from the south and told Eunuch Li. He said that it was after the new year. After that, we will go to the south for a walk to see the river workers."

Yinfeng was silent. In the past, whenever Kangxi had the idea of ​​going out, he would be the first to tell him. Now, he has to learn from Ling Pu that Kangxi wants to make a southern tour. I don't know if it is his luck or his misfortune.

"If Huang Ama really wants to tour the south, it will probably be the same as last time. He will not want to share the money. You are the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the money for this trip has to come from the internal funds. I still say the same thing, the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's not easy to be a manager, your accounts must be clear, otherwise, if there is an audit later, you won't be able to tell."

Ever since Ling Pu was promoted to the head of the House of Internal Affairs after his wedding, he has become Yinreng's heart disease.From time to time, Yinreng would beat Ling Pu once, so as not to let him be blinded by money and cause trouble.

Regarding Kangxi's southern tour, Ling Pu was really right.

On the 38st of the first month of the 21th year of Kangxi, the Yellow River and the Huai River were defeated for successive years, and the downstream areas were submerged. Although millions of taels of treasury silver were spent, there was still no result for many years. Therefore, it was decided to make a third southern tour to check the river course, instruct the strategy, and Toured Jiangsu and Zhejiang, inspected officials and settled the people.

Kangxi strictly ordered the ministries of household, industry, and military to prepare all the supplies for the southern tour. It is strictly forbidden for officials along the way to use their names to send gifts, and local officials are also not allowed to give gifts to followers. Those who sue critics will be punished with the rules of conflicting ceremonies.

During this southern tour, Kangxi not only invited the Empress Dowager Renxian to accompany him, but also ordered Zhijun Wang Yinti, Chengjun Wang Yinzhi, Wubeile Yinqi, Qibeile Yinyou, Babeile Yinhu, Thirteenth Elder Brother Yinxiang, Ten The fourth elder brother Yinzhen walked together.

However, a few days before the southern tour, Kangxi invited Yinfeng to watch an execution, and there were only two of them, father and son, watching the whole process of the execution of two servants in the palace.

Yinfeng was no stranger to these two people, on the contrary, he knew them very well.The person in the dining room is Huala, and the person in the waiter is Yatou.These two people are Suo'etu's insiders in the palace, one is for Suo'etu and Yinrong to send secret letters, and the other is for Suo'etu to monitor Kangxi.

And Yinfeng didn't know until that day that Suo'etu had done so many things that he didn't know about behind his back!

After Huala and Yatou were executed, Kangxi didn't say anything, but ordered Liang Jiugong to imprison Erchu, another restaurant worker, at home.

Before leaving, Kangxi glanced at Yinfeng, smiled slightly and said: "I thought about it for a long time, and decided to call you to have a look together. It's good that you don't associate with Suo'etu now. He has a lot of grievances against me behind his back. You, I know all about it. However, I will never give him what he wants. Yinfeng, stay well in Beijing and wait for me to come back."

What else can Yinfeng say?

He bowed his head, and answered quietly: "My minister obeys the order. Huang Ama just rest assured."

As he said, if Kangxi wanted him to retire, he had no choice but to retreat.Is this a warning from Kangxi?In fact, standing by the side and watching the eunuch beat the two people to death completely, I was really uncomfortable.Yinfeng wasn't afraid, he just felt the bone-chilling cold. Now it was already a cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, but he felt that his heart was colder than the heavy snow.

Yinfeng can understand that Kangxi's current thoughts are to suppress him and Suo'etu, and to pull out the grown-up princes and elder brothers with titles.His prestige is too high, so it is actually very simple for Kangxi to suppress it. As long as a few "bad" things come out and count on him, the reputation and prestige of the crown prince will not be damaged. Is it?

Kangxi's thoughts, if he doesn't want people to guess, can be kept very secret.But now, Kangxi revealed his thoughts to him in this way. It can be seen that Kangxi didn't care whether he could see through this layer of thoughts at all, but Kangxi was not afraid of whether he could see through or not. Kangxi only cared whether he received this warning or not.

Soon, Yinfeng's guess was confirmed. The execution event that only he and Kangxi watched was "inadvertently" leaked out, and everyone knew the reason, it was because of the relationship between the prince and Suo'etu. The collusion caused the emperor Longyan to be furious and executed these people without mentioning the crown prince at all, as if to save the crown prince's face.As for Suo'etu, there were no punitive measures.

This level of news was spread, and it was fueled by people with good intentions. Last year, the atmosphere of calling the crown prince benevolent suddenly changed, and the criticism of the crown prince gradually increased.As a result, the situation in which the crown prince's prestige was higher than that of the emperor was instantly reversed.

For such a situation, Yinfeng couldn't explain a single word, nor could he say a single word.Because he knew very well in his heart that what Kangxi wanted was such a result, and at that time, Kangxi had already told him very clearly that he, the crown prince, had to endure all of this.

A few days after Kangxi set off, Yinfeng got another news that Prince Kang Jieshu got the eunuch Zhang Fengyang out of the palace, and angrily accused Zhang Fengyang of using the order of the empress dowager to disturb the court and do evil, and even accepted bribes to interfere with the promotion of officials. Prince Kang Jieshu put Zhang Fengyang to death as the former owner of Zhang Fengyang, and then confessed his guilt to Kangxi, saying that he did it on impulse.

Kangxi did not entangle this matter, but instead comforted Prince Kang Jieshu, praising him for doing a good job, and it is a good thing to eliminate rape and punish evil.

Within a few days, there was a lot of news about Zhang Fengyang, and every piece pointed to the crown prince.Among them, the most credible and widely spread is that Zhang Fengyang is the spokesperson of the Queen Mother Renxian. As long as someone asks the Queen Mother Renxian, no matter whether the person wants an official or power, as long as the Queen Mother Renxian sends Zhang Fengyang to follow the prince Let me tell you, after giving money, this person can get his wish immediately.Because the Crown Prince is extremely filial, as long as the Empress Dowager Renxian asks, the Crown Prince will definitely do it.

Therefore, the Crown Prince listened to Zhang Fengyang's words and did many nasty things.Prince Kang's killing of Zhang Fengyang is really a joyful thing.In a few days, there were even songs in the capital about Zhang Fengyan's execution being a good thing.

The word of mouth accumulated by Yinreng after several years of hard work has been slandered by these rumors flying all over the sky.
