Chapter 1322 Compromise

Prince Cheng met with Yongzheng on the first day of his arrival in Lanzhou, but the meeting and preliminary talks were not harmonious. Although there was no quarrel on the surface, he had had secret tit-for-tat fights, and he only briefly exchanged opinions on the matter of the Eight Kings' discussions on politics.

On the second day, Prince Cheng first went to pay homage to the emperor's mother who had not seen for many years, and stayed with the empress for half a day before saying goodbye. Afterwards, Prince Cheng visited his old friends in Lanzhou, and waited until the third day to meet Yongzheng again. The two brothers once again began to secretly compete for the candidates for the Eight Kings to discuss politics.

A few days later, Yongzheng finally came up with a plan, and was not satisfied with it. In the following days, the two sides met many times and discussed it fiercely for many times. It took nearly a month to go. If it weren't for the end of this year that it was about to pass, and there would be less time left for them, otherwise the plan would have been determined.

Finally, based on the concessions between the two sides, the so-called Eight Kings finally had a preliminary plan for the so-called Eight Kings' discussions.

Prince Guo and Prince Cheng, two candidates who joined the Eight Kings to discuss politics, each served as the banner leader of a banner. Among them, Prince Guo was the banner leader of Zhenglan Banner, and Prince Cheng was the banner leader of Zhengbai Banner. The eldest prince Zhi was released and he was appointed as the leader of Zhenghong Banner. The three banners Zhongzheng Baiqi were one of the three banners. They were originally led by the emperor, but now they were handed over to Prince Cheng, which is also a attitude of Yongzheng.

As for the Zhenghuang Banner and the Inlaid Yellow Banner, they continued to hold the two flags as the emperor, and they were the lords of the two flags.

Although the third and the nine elders were released, they were not selected for the Eight Kings' political discussion. As for the two youngest two elders, the sixteenth elders and the seventeenth elders, the sixteenth elders were asked to take the title of the Red Flag Flag after discussing neutrally, the seventeenth elders were also not selected.

In this way, the Eight Kings are now involved in the affairs of the political affairs of Yongzheng (two banners), Prince Guo, Prince Cheng, Prince Zhi and the sixteen-five-man and six banners. The remaining two banners are held by two old princes in the royal family, thus forming the structure of the Eight Kings' political affairs.

Judging from this result, both sides are barely acceptable, because neither side completely dominates the position, and the power is basically balanced in the Eight Kings' political system, and coupled with the restraint of other princes, neither side can directly retaliate against the other side.

When this plan was determined, the civil and military officials of the Qing court, who had been paying attention to this matter, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the result was not satisfactory, the current situation finally solved the major problem of civil strife in the Qing court, and at the same time gave the Qing court, which had been trapped in internal friction, hoped to go on track.

"Brother Jiu, after I leave, you have to pay more attention to the court." After staying in Lanzhou for a month, I finally discussed the matter of the Eight Kings' discussions on politics. After the system was determined, I will wait for Yongzheng to formally issue the order, so Prince Cheng is about to leave.

"Don't worry, I'm watching here. If there is anything wrong with the fourth brother, I'll send you a letter." Yinzhen has had a very difficult life these years. When Yongzheng launched a coup and imprisoned Jianxing, he naturally couldn't escape as Jianxing's best friend.

Overnight, he became a prisoner from the noble prince and lost all his power and status. Over the years, Yinzhen regretted countless times. He regretted not seeing through Yongzheng's true face earlier. He was careless and was defeated, resulting in the tragic death of the Jianxing and his wife.

But what's the use of regret? Even he lost his freedom and could not know how long he could live in Yongzheng's hands. But what he never expected was that this situation suddenly changed, and there was still a day to see the light of day, which made Yinzhen feel mixed emotions.

After restoring freedom, Yinzhen hated Yongzheng to the core, but he was helpless. He knew very well that Prince Guo and Prince Cheng had tried their best to do so, not to mention that Jianxing was dead. The most important thing at the moment was to protect the foundation of their ancestors and protect the Qing Dynasty, so he had to endure Yongzheng as the emperor for the time being.

Although Yinzhen was not included in the list of the Eight Kings' political discussions, because Prince Guo and Prince Cheng could not be in charge of the court, even if they joined forces, they would only lead troops outside. The government discussions in the court were directly handed over to Yinzhen's agent, which was also determined during the negotiations with Yongzheng.

Today, before leaving, Prince Cheng deliberately drank and talked with Yinzhen to explain some important matters. Yinzhen, who had long known it, patted his chest and assured Prince Cheng.

"I can naturally believe in Brother Jiu. Today I told Brother Jiu that this matter is actually a little more. After the brother left, I hope that Brother Jiu will not only focus on the fourth brother, but also try to establish a good relationship with the eldest brother, the sixteenth brother and others. The other two old princes are the same. As long as they do not clearly oppose us in the future, the fourth brother will not be able to make a comeback!"

"Brother understands in his heart, you have the intention." Yinzhen nodded vigorously, then looked at Prince Cheng deeply, and sighed: "If you had what you had in Guanzhong back then? Alas..."

"Brother Jiu, let it pass. You can't blame me for that incident back then. It's all the treacherous and calculating without intention..."

When Yinzhen thought of the Guanzhong Incident, he felt as painful as a knife. Jianxing was a good brother and also a good emperor. Although his ability was a little weak, he was not blamed for many things, because the general trend was not on the Qing Dynasty.

To be honest, if Jianxing had not opened up the Western Regions, the Qing Dynasty might have been over now. Yongzheng claimed that he was more capable than Jianxing, but in fact, many of the things he did were the foundation laid by Jianxing back then.

This is also the reason why many ministers and princes in the court did not object to this time. As the Qing Dynasty became weaker, the people who supported Yongzheng at the time had begun to be dissatisfied with Yongzheng, so to a certain extent it also brought great pressure to Yongzheng.

Moreover, after Jianxing took office, he was pretty good at several brothers, and even the second brother who was banned during the Kangxi period was well placed. After Yongzheng took office, he saw what he did? If it weren't for Prince Guo and Prince Cheng, maybe Yongzheng would have massacred these brothers for the throne.

"Fourth brother, when my Qing Dynasty recovers, I will only have a word from the fourteenth brother in the future, and I will be fine if I am the brother!"

Facing Prince Cheng, Yinzhen said these heart-breaking words. Although they were tactful, both of them knew the meaning.

"Brother Nine..."

"Don't worry, Brother Ninth is not drunk, Brother Ninth has figured it out. After Brother Ninth goes, I will only be the 14th brother of the Qing Dynasty. For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, I will let you ninth brother be broken into pieces and you will be willing to let your ninth brother be broken into pieces!"

Prince Cheng was secretly moved. He didn't say anything. He picked up the wine pot and poured wine into himself and Yinzhen's glasses, then raised the wine glass and drank it all.
