Prince of the Qing Dynasty

Yinfeng looked at Suo'etu and said with a smile: "Uncle and grandpa think, among all the princes and elder brothers, where is my advantage?"

Yinfeng didn't answer the question instead, Suo'etu was still puzzled, but when he heard Yinfeng's words, he didn't even think about it, so he replied: "Isn't the prince knowingly asking? Naturally, he is the prince. What is the prince's identity?" Nobility, how can it be compared with that of an ordinary prince."

Yinfeng expected that Suo'etu would answer in this way, so he smiled and said: "According to me, I should be older than them. Just like the elder brother always has a sense of superiority towards me, although I am second, I am older than them." The princes and elder brothers are old. Uncles and grandpas, do you know what this means? It means that I started to learn earlier than them, and I got the attention of Emperor Ama earlier than them. Even developing my own power, I will Earlier than them. If I manage properly, the prince's party will be a force that they will never be able to match."

He is not a prince in history, he will not be fooled by Kangxi's favor, he will not treat elder brothers and ministers arrogantly, and he will not whip and humiliate Prince Baylor at will just because he is a prince. The prince, of course he can be abolished as the prince.

The princes in history were spoiled by Kangxi, and they regarded themselves so highly that they betrayed their relatives, which led to the downfall of the prince's party in the end. This is inevitable.However, he clearly realized that the advantage of being the crown prince and the second son of the emperor was that he had to be cautious at every step to survive under Kangxi's wings, and then develop his own power as much as possible.

Suo'etu was taken aback by Yinfeng's words: "Prince, you can't say that! It's taboo for princes to form a party! Besides, you are a prince, how can you form a party? It's against the emperor, the emperor knows , is no small matter!"

Yinfeng laughed, looked at Suo'etu and said: "Uncle, grandpa, you said that the prince cannot form a party, so what are we two now? Isn't it forming a party? Besides, what I call forming a party is not to win The power of Huang Ama, but the development of forces that support me. The ministers are loyal to Huang Ama and support me. There is no contradiction between the two! Such a "clique", how can it be said that it is divided into courts? "

Suo'etu still felt that Yinfeng's words were inappropriate. He frowned and said: "Prince, forming a party is forming a party. No matter what, forming a party will make the emperor angry. Besides, you want to make friends with ministers. This has nothing to do with your relationship with ministers." , are different in nature.”

"Furthermore, there is indeed no contradiction between the ministers' loyalty to the emperor and their support for the prince. But if the prince and the emperor disagree, or have different political views and different requirements, who should the ministers listen to? Prince, what are you doing?" This puts ministers in a dilemma."

Yinfeng smiled and said coldly: "Uncle, grandpa, if the ministers are not in a dilemma, then it is my dilemma."

"Let's clear up the old customs. Uncles and grandparents know that when the princes and elder brothers become adults, they will be assigned errands and entrusted as princes of the Lower Five Banners. At that time, what they have in their hands is not just domestic slaves and vassals. , there will be a large number of courtiers loyal to them. Huang Ama's temperament is very clear to the uncle and grandpa. With the way he trains his brothers now, in less than 20 years, when these brothers are all adults, Huang Ama will also It's time to confer titles, so they can justifiably make friends with ministers and develop power, as the prince, why can't I?"

"Or does my uncle think that you and I are enough to deal with these princes and elder brothers? If they don't have two hearts, that's all. If they have the slightest thought about saving positions, how should I deal with them? Uncle Do you think I can rely on Huang Ama at that time?"

Yinfeng stood up, walked into the hall, fixedly looked at Suo'etu and said solemnly: "Grandpa, you are my relatives, and I am not afraid to tell you my thoughts. I want to make friends with ministers and develop power, not just for the sake of I need their support, and I need their protection! If brothers fight, father and son fight... If Huang Ama has to abolish my crown prince, I need them to spare no effort to support me and stand by my side One side! And force Huang Ama to change her mind or favor me! At a certain point, even if it is a case of death between me and Huang Ama, they must choose me!"

"Grandpa, do you understand what I mean?"

What Yinfeng said made Suo'etu's heart skip a beat, the prince's ambition was too great, so big that he had never thought of things before, and the prince had imagined them one by one!Suo'etu never felt that he was timid, but he also felt terrible after hearing the prince's words.

"However, how will the crown prince make friends with ministers? I'm afraid it will be difficult to do so blatantly,"

Suo'etu calmed down his frightened mood, and said, "The emperor hates cliques the most. Even if the prince succeeds in forming a clique, and gathers a group of courtiers around you, once the emperor finds out, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Who said I'm going to blatantly form a party?"

Yinfeng laughed and said, "Grandpa, what do you think I've been doing these past few years? If I wasn't sure of accomplishing this, I wouldn't say such things at this moment. I want to make Huang Ama know that I'm married." The party will not go so far as to block it. Of course, this is a last resort, and if it is not a last resort, Huang Ama must not be aware that I am making friends with ministers."

Suo'etu couldn't keep up with Yinfeng's train of thought, so he couldn't help asking: "I still don't quite understand what the prince means."

Yinfeng smiled with his hands behind his back: "Although I am old, I am the second son of the emperor. There is an older brother in front of me, but he is older than me. He is the eldest son of the emperor, and there is another Mingzhu to help him. That's it. The two are enough to make him think that he shouldn't have. I knew that I couldn't win him over, so I had to try my best to suppress him. Otherwise, why would I plan to frame him when I donated money to the palace that year? He wants to be with him I fight only because of those two things, so I want to cut off his root, so that he can no longer fight with me. Over the past few years, after those things, I watched coldly, I am afraid that big brother will leave The storage space is getting farther and farther.”

"The next few elder brothers are still young. The three elder brothers and the fourth elder brothers who have been close to me in the past few years have feelings for me. I think they will not oppose me in the future. Even if they are against me, I am not afraid. So , for the little brothers in the back, it should be mainly to win over, if the attack fails, then suppress it. Besides, if they have a different heart, we have to wait until they grow up."

Yinfeng said: "Over the past few years, Big Brother failed to suppress me, but I suppressed him a lot. Later, he learned to be good, and he knew that it would not be beneficial to fight against me, but he became honest. In this way, I will be able to find time to do my own things. I have been studying in Maoqindian for several years. I have studied hard and studied hard; The fourth elder brother cultivates brotherhood, so you have seen the results of keeping a low profile for the past few years, who in the palace and outside the palace does not say that the crown prince is a good one?"

"As far as Huang Ama is concerned, I am the prince who makes him proud. Even though I still have bad things in his eyes, for now, I am still satisfied with him. Besides, you know, Huang What Ama needs right now is a prince who is smart and studious, obedient to him but highly consistent with his thoughts. I think I have done a good job in this regard."

It is well known that the crown prince has been studying Confucianism since he left the pavilion, studied hard, and is erudite. After several years of hard work, coupled with Kangxi's spare no effort in publicity, this is already well known.

Coupled with the weight of Tang Bin and Geng Jie among the Hanchens, Yinfeng believes that the Hanchens must have a deeper understanding of him and a better and better impression.And the ministers, even if they were dissatisfied with him, they couldn't get angry in the face of such a prince who could hardly pick out any flaws. After all, the emperor said that the prince was good, and they couldn't refute it.If not, Mingzhu would not leave him alone to attack Tang Bin and others.

In the palace, Kangxi gave him a high status and gave him great attention and favor. All the concubines in the harem disrespected him, and under the encouragement of Kangxi, the younger brothers also followed him as a role model.And the third elder brother and fourth elder brother who are close to him also have a deep brotherhood with him.

And in his own palace, he is also working hard to integrate into the role of the prince. Although he can't completely regard himself as an ancient person, he can learn from it.For some things, once you pass that psychological threshold, and then execute them, there will be no psychological pressure.

This is the result of his four years of hard work.

It is also the only thing he can do during this period of time.After all, he is still young, so there must be a period of time to hide his strength and bide his time.if not.If he acted rashly, he would only expose himself early, and instead harm himself.

After hearing these words, Suo'etu let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect the prince to hide these thoughts. In the past few years, it's really difficult for the prince!"

He originally thought that the donation in the palace was just a short-lived scheming of the prince.Because seeing that the crown prince has not made any moves in the past few years, and the prince has just resorted to tricks, and has not received as good results as before, he thought that the crown prince was helpless, but he did not expect Well, the prince has actually been keeping a low profile these past few years, making so many preparations in secret.

Hearing these words from the prince, the only feeling he had was that the prince who had planned every step of the way back then had returned.

Yinfeng looked at Suo'etu and said: "This is the first step in forming a party, and it is also a very important step. If there is no accumulation in the past few years, I am afraid it will be difficult to accomplish things in the future."

Suo'etu was overwhelmed and asked sincerely: "So, what does the prince want to do next?"
