Prince of the Qing Dynasty

In September of the 41st year of Kangxi, Kangxi returned to Beijing.

Afterwards, Yabu, Prince Heshuojian, died on the way back to Beijing with his entourage. Kangxi ordered people to escort the funeral back to Beijing, and later gave 4000 taels of silver.

In the first month of the 42nd year of Kangxi, Prince Yu Fuquan passed away. Kangxi ordered all the princes to wear filial piety. Except for the crown prince, all the princes went to Prince Yu's mansion to pay homage.

After Yinzhen went to Prince Yu's mansion, he came back and told Yinreng: "I used to see that the brothers in Prince Yu's mansion were all friendly with eldest brother, and I thought that Prince Yu would support eldest brother, but now I don't think so. When Huang Ama went to see Prince Yu, Prince Yu talked about Huang Ama saying that Brother Ba was good, and praised Brother Ba as a kind-hearted, intelligent and capable person. I really don’t understand, second brother Now the Crown Prince is still doing well, why do they have the courage to praise Eighth Brother in front of Huang Ama?"

Although Yinzhen had never seen such a scene, the story was not forbidden to spread, and everyone who should know knew about it.After Yinzhen found out, he was just upset. Did Prince Yu mean to imply that Huang Ama abolished the crown prince, and then made the eighth elder brother the crown prince?

Hearing this, Yinfeng smiled slightly and said: "When Huang Ama conquered Galdan in the past, there was a rift between Prince Yu and Elder Brother. But it doesn't mean that Prince Yu will like him. Think about it, when the two of them had a quarrel, they had to go to the King's Conference to arbitrate who was right and who was wrong. If Huang Ama didn't come forward, the faces of these two people would be torn apart. , how could Prince Yu support such a person?"

"Furthermore, Prince Yu is honest and honest. He doesn't talk much but his mind is very clear. With his personality, how could he like someone like Big Brother?"

Yinfeng laughed and said, "Speaking of which, it's not accidental that Prince Yu likes and supports Eighth Prince so much. Huang Ama has always respected Prince Yu very much, and Prince Yu and Huang Ama are brothers. The support of Prince Yu is also very good for the elder brothers. The eighth elder brother has a close relationship with the eldest elder brother. Eldest brother's relationship is not good, but it doesn't prevent Prince Yu and eighth elder brother from getting close."

In fact, there is still a big difference between the crown prince and the princes and brothers. If the princes and brothers want to stand out, they can only spare no effort to make friends with princes and ministers.

"Huang Ama has always believed in Prince Yu's words. Prince Yu's last words will carry a lot of weight in Huang Ama's heart."

Yinzhen was really worried, "Second brother, I think eighth brother will become our confidant's serious trouble sooner or later."

He could see that the eighth elder brother was so active in wooing princes and ministers, and his intention was to be the crown prince.

The eighth elder brother is very good, and everyone praises him for being able to speak and be a man. Compared with the crown prince, although he is not as knowledgeable, he seems to be a better man. Yinzhen often hears such comments in private, saying that the prince The prince is like the cold winter and snow, but he can be seen from a distance and cannot be played with. He gets close to people everywhere, but it is really not easy to get close. But the eighth prince is different. The eighth prince is like the warm wind in spring. Unforgettable, getting along with it is simply a great enjoyment.

This cold and warm, regardless of status, according to human instinct, everyone likes to go to the warm side.

What's more, the crown prince is nearly thirty years old, but the eighth elder brother is still very young, only in his early twenties. Naturally, being young has infinite possibilities.

Moreover, Yinzhen knew very well that the position of the second elder brother's crown prince is not as stable as it was in the early years.It can be said that there is a possibility of overturning at any time if you are not careful.

Yinzhen's worries were all seen by Yinreng, who smiled and said, "Fourth brother, you don't have to worry so much. Even if the eighth elder brother becomes our confidant, he may not be able to succeed in the end. You and Just watch."

If Yinhu wanted to become the crown prince, he would have two major flaws. One was that his biological mother was not from a high family background;However, these two flaws were not summed up by Yinfeng himself, but by Kangxi himself in history.

Yinhu's ability is very strong, and Kangxi also thinks highly of him, but it's a pity that Yinhu still has no competitiveness if he wants to compete for the crown prince. Kangxi doesn't like him to be the crown prince, so Yinhu will fight harder Also useless.

After Yinreng finished speaking, he looked at Yinzhen again and said, "Brother, how are you preparing now?"

After two years, since Yinreng and Yinzhen made up their minds, he never asked Yinzhen how to plan and the planning process.One is that he is very confident that Yinzhen will do it, so he feels that there is no need to ask from time to time; the other is that he has already told Yinzhen all the methods before, and there is nothing to add, so naturally there is no need to mention it.

"Huang Ama has already decided to tour the south again after the spring of this year. I think it's time for him, right?"

Yinzhen frowned: "Second brother thinks it's time for the southern tour?"

Yinfeng smiled slightly and said: "We have been preparing for two years, and the time is almost up. If we don't use it, we will inevitably be seen by others. The people in Mingzhu are all good people, and this matter should be done as soon as possible. Fortunately, the elder brother is dull. He thought he could make up his mind and never consulted with Mingzhu. After all, it gave us a chance to do what we like. But, fourth brother, are you sure that Zhang Mingde and his group don’t know Is your real identity?"

"Actually, big brother has wanted to do it for a long time, but he has not been able to find the right time, and the second brother is tightly guarded here, so he can't get it for a long time. If the second brother wants them to do it, As long as the guards around us are a little looser during the southern tour this time, they will naturally be able to find out the news, and at that time, with the big brother's heart, he will definitely do something."

Yinzhen replied with a smile, "As for Zhang Mingde, second brother, don't worry. He doesn't even know who I am. When I found him last year, I was also very careful not to let the people who went there leak the news. To say Get up, this Zhang Mingde, just as the second brother guessed, is ignorant and incompetent. He wants to rely on his crooked kung fu to hit the big luck all day long, hoping that people will see a prosperous future. The one I sent I was very careful not to let him see that it was deliberate, and at that time, the elder brother was just nagging to find an expert to calculate his fate, so my people took Zhang Mingde to the elder brother's house logically. Come on. Later, I heard that elder brother thought Zhang Mingde was an expert and that his calculations were extremely accurate, so he even brought him to elder brother eight."

Yinti believed in these monks and Taoists very much, and such people often came and went in and out of his mansion, and some Mongolian lamas also came and went in and out, which made the whole Zhijun palace full of smoke and smog.Kangxi has never been used to Yinti like this, but even if he is dissatisfied, he still doesn't bother to mention it to Yinti.

It is precisely because of this that Yinreng and Yinzhen made a plan to secretly recommend Zhang Mingde to Yinti.After all, Yinfeng is very clear. Historically, Yinti was also acquainted with Zhang Mingde. Moreover, Zhang Mingde was once involved in the assassination of the prince. Because of Zhang Mingde, many things were involved later.

But at this time, history can no longer be repeated, not to mention that in history, Zhang Mingde's assassination failed at all.However, Yinfeng still wanted to use Zhang Mingde. Since Yinti and others used Zhang Mingde to attack Yinreng in the past, this time, he had the upper hand. Naturally, he had to grasp Zhang Mingde first, and then Let them think that they used Zhang Mingde to do what they should do, and in the end he will come with a praying mantis, a cicada, and an oriole, and naturally they will be able to get rid of Yinti smoothly.

When Yinreng heard Yinzhen's words, his eyes lit up: "Big brother took Zhang Mingde to eighth brother again?"

"Again?" Yinzhen was taken aback, looking at Yinreng puzzled, not understanding why Yinreng said the word again.

Yinfeng pursed his lips and coughed lightly twice. He knew that there was an unclear relationship between Zhang Mingde and Yinti, but he did not expect that he would bring Zhang Mingde to Yinti in this life. Just like in history, Zhang Mingde was brought to Yinhu.

Yinfeng didn't intend to explain so much to Yinzhen, so he didn't answer him, just asked with a smile: "Fourth brother, you just said that the elder brother brought Zhang Mingde to the eighth elder brother, do you know that Zhang Mingde saw eighth elder brother? The specific situation of elder brother?"

Yinzhen heard this, nodded and said: "I know this. I ambushed someone beside Zhang Mingde, and Zhang Mingde regarded him as his own. Zhang Mingde was very happy when he went back after seeing Brother Ba. Elder brother told his people all about the scene."

Without waiting for Yinreng to ask, Yinzhen continued directly, "Eldest brother thinks that Zhang Mingde is very accurate, so he intends to recommend Zhang Mingde to eighth elder brother and ask Zhang Mingde to show it to eighth elder brother. Of course, eldest brother He couldn't make his true intention too obvious, so he asked Zhang Mingde to figure out whether the eighth elder brother would have a son. At first, the eighth elder brother was unwilling to see Zhang Mingde, but it was the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother who heard about it. Insisting on making the eighth elder brother meet Zhang Mingde, you can only know if you are right after seeing it, so you ordered someone to bring Zhang Mingde to you."

Yinzhen smiled and said, "That Zhang Mingde who is in the world after all, when he saw Brother Ba, he never said anything about whether he could have a son or not, and said that seeing Brother Ba's face and his future future are invaluable , Brother Nine and Elder Brother Ten were also present at the time. After hearing what Zhang Mingde said, they immediately asked Zhang Mingde what kind of expensive method he was. Brother Ninth and Elder Brother Ten were very excited when he played tricks like this, but Brother Eight was annoyed and sent someone to drive Zhang Mingde out, saying that Zhang Mingde's nonsense was a lie. Elder brother ten, don't spread the fact that Zhang Mingde met him. But second brother, think about it, how can you hide it from the old nine and old ten's temperament?"

"Later, I also heard from Zhang Mingde that the elder brother had complained to Zhang Mingde, saying that the eighth elder brother was so stupid and so pedantic, and he was kicked out instead of being a good expert. Moreover, it is said that the eighth elder brother Elder brother said that elder brother did not do the right thing. It is impossible to say what Zhang Mingde said. A prince elder brother has a fixed future. To say that he is precious is something that should not be said. The future of prince elder brother, If it is too expensive, the risk is too great. The eighth elder brother said that he could not afford this. At that time, the elder brother knew this, and when he came back, he lamented to Zhang Mingde, saying that the eighth elder brother was too stupid to do big things. The elder brother also said that if he also has such a precious future as the eighth elder brother, he will definitely work hard."

"How does Zhang Mingde evaluate Big Brother?" Yinfeng laughed.

Yinzhen thought for a while, and replied: "It is said that the wish of the elder brother must be fulfilled. No matter what you want, you can achieve it."

After hearing this, Yinfeng sneered and said: "Liars like them are the best at coaxing people with such words. In fact, when you look closely, they don't have a single word of truth in their mouths. Only the elder brother is stupid and willing to believe such words." People, I still think what he said is very accurate, presumably in the elder brother's heart, he still regards Zhang Mingde as a bosom friend? Otherwise, how could he still recommend Zhang Mingde to the eighth elder brother?"

Yinti still has never given up on the position of prince, and Zhang Mingde's words will definitely ignite Yinti's fighting spirit.From Yinti's point of view, if he unfortunately fails to win the crown prince, the only candidate for the crown prince who can tolerate him is Yinti. It is probably based on this consideration that Yinti will let Zhang Mingde go to Yinhu to see him. .

Yinzhen nodded with a smile and said yes: "That Zhang Mingde said that again when he met the eighth elder brother. According to my people, I asked him privately why he said that the eighth elder brother was so expensive. Why did he ask him how expensive he is?" Not bluntly. That Zhang Mingde said with a smile, the prince Baylor is incomparably precious in the eyes of Xiaomin. If you ask Xiaomin what is so expensive, how dare Xiaomin talk nonsense. Second brother, you say it is so slippery People who don't slip their hands, don't make some troubles, I'm sorry for his mouth!"

Yinreng just sneered after hearing this: "Just now I heard you talking about big brother, it seems that big brother blames eighth brother for being ignorant? Then, big brother really wants to fight with Zhang Mingde?"

Yinti is much more cautious than Yinti, and Yinfeng didn't expect Zhang Mingde to recruit Yinti in this game. He set up this game, which was originally aimed at Yinti. According to the direction he wants to develop, everything is under control.

"Second brother knows it. Eldest brother has never given up trying to drag second brother into the water all these years. He wants to be the crown prince."

Yinzhen said, "In the past, Mingzhu helped him, but now Mingzhu is half-retired, and Kui Xu is not very close to him. The elder brother has gone astray by himself, specializing in crooked things. Now this Mingde It's a good match. Originally, he only had a half-hearted heart, but now he is instigated by Zhang Mingde, and we are willing to guide him. I'm afraid he already has seven or eight half-hearted thoughts. What he lacks now is an opportunity .”
