Chapter 94: The First Move
Chapter 94: The first movement of the storm
Fighting is not a fight, not a fight is a fight. This is difficult to say and even more difficult to do. It is a job of walking on a tightrope. Without excellent skills, what awaits you is definitely a crushing end and a burial place without a burial place. What is fighting for the throne? Of course, it is a fight for the throne. If you violate this in doing things, you are doing useless work; what is not to fight, that is, don’t show your ambition to compete for the throne, at least you can’t let Mr. Kangxi notice your ambition.
If you don’t have credit, you are a useless talent in the eyes of Mr. Kangxi, and there is no possibility of getting to power. In this era, if you don’t have enough people under your command, you won’t be able to do anything, then you won’t be able to make any contribution, or at least you won’t be able to make a big contribution. But the problem arises: if you have more people under your command and more powerful power, you will be able to violate the bottom line of Mr. Kangxi. Once this happens, you will definitely be a big board. Since ancient times, powerful ministers who have made great achievements or have too much power often have no end, unless you have the ability to kill the emperor and take the lead by yourself.
Mr. Kangxi was a powerful emperor and would never allow the court to have people or forces that threaten him, even his own son, so he must grasp the degree between fighting or not fighting, and if he is not careful, he will lose everything. Yinzuo did not think about fighting, but what he showed was not fighting or forming clans among court officials. Now even if he wanted to fight, he could still not form clans among court officials. However, fighting requires contribution and ability. Then you must do whatever the old man gave you so that the old man could look at him differently.
There are two things that fell on Yinzuo at this moment: one is to clear debts, including the three major parts of the debts, including the river engineering, the canal transportation, and the river engineering, and the canal transportation of Liangjiang. The ground in Liangjiang was cleared halfway, and the remaining prefectures and counties that have passed the flood cannot complete the debts. The only thing they can do is to submit a request to reduce local taxes and help these prefectures and counties to overcome difficulties first. Judging from the character of the old man Kangxi, the tax reduction and exemption of the creditors does not have the risk of being returned to the ticket. The debts can be generally considered completed. If the creditors that the fire consumption belong to the public will be added, the debts will be considered full marks.
The second thing is the river engineering and the rectification of the canal transportation. This matter is related to the sea transportation complaint. Instead of the canal transportation through sea transportation, in addition to saving a lot of river engineering and the cost of canal transportation, it can also produce a lot of fertile land. The plan is beautiful, but if it is really implemented, it is full of resistance. This requires creating momentum and enlisting and dividing the sons and important officials in the court. To achieve this goal, we must first muddle the water to gain momentum and take advantage of the chips in our hands to attack one by one. This is why Yinzuo wanted to cheat the fourth brother. Although it was a conspiracy, it was still more conspiracy to count:
The fourth brother took over the task of clearing debts. No matter whether Yinzuo was in trouble or not, he had to do this offensive thing. Even if he started to clear debts from the local area, he would still have to face the challenge of the prince and the royal family in the end. The situation set up by Yinzuo is actually an open conspiracy. It is clear that the situation is for you to learn, not only let you learn, but also to tell you how to do it. Of course, the only thing that has not been said is how to face the counterattack of the princes. Yinzuo's purpose is to disrupt the situation in a short time so that he can catch up when he returns to Beijing. When he returns to Beijing, he has to start a sea transportation note, otherwise how to solve the problem of river engineering. If the situation is not chaotic, there will be no possibility of taking advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the situation.
Yinzuo had already told Liu Chang'e to pay attention to the dynamics of the court, especially the reactions of the princes. The farce on the last night of the 35th year of Kangxi took place only three days, and Yinzuo received accurate news from the letter sent through Feige. So, Guo Xiu was summoned immediately and Lin Xuanyi began to discuss the matter.
"Sir, what do you think about this? Should I do as planned?" Yinzuo handed over the information sent to Lin Xuanyi.
After reading the small note in his hand, Lin Xuanyi pondered for a moment and said, "The heat is not enough, I need to add another fire."
"Add fire?" Yinzuo was slightly stunned.
"Yes, you can hand over the comments on the fire return to the public first, and burn the fire more vigorously." Lin Xuanyi analyzed calmly: "In the current situation, the emperor will definitely fight fifty boards each, and the matter of clearing the debt will stop. The ministers in the court will also adjust. Although the situation will be chaotic for a while, it will soon stabilize. When we return to the capital, it is estimated that the court will be calm and not conducive to our plan to gain momentum in chaos. If this comments on the fire return to the public will be put on, the court will inevitably cause great waves, and the chaos will at least last until the moment we return to the capital."
"Yes, the letter is from this king. Whether those officials of the court oppose or agree, they have to wait until the king returns to the capital to know what the truth is. OK! Lord Guo immediately issued this letter in a hurry with 600 miles." Yinzuo said with a smile.
In this era, file transmission is a station. Generally, there is a station every 20 miles. Once the official document that needs to be passed indicates the word "Flying now", it must be delivered at a speed of 300 miles per day as required. If an emergency occurs, the transmission speed can reach 400 miles per day, 600 miles per day, and the fastest reaches 800 miles. When delivering emergency documents, each station uses a fast horse. In this way, although it is not a thousand-mile horse, every horse runs desperately, and can also reach a thousand miles per day.
Of course, Yinzuo hoped that the letter of fire that he had returned to the capital could arrive at the capital as soon as possible, and at least on the eighth day of the first lunar month of the 36th year of Kangxi that he would arrive at the capital on the first morning dynasty. However, this letter was not that military information could not be transmitted by 800 miles, and at most, it could only be used by 600 miles. However, calculating the time, it could be delivered to the capital the day before the ceremony, which was enough.
The Spring Festival is over, but spring has not yet arrived. It only snowed heavily in the capital last night, and the weather was very cold. The most suitable weather for such a weather is to lie in a warm bed. If a beautiful lady is warming the bed, it would be even more beautiful. However, in the capital, only ordinary people can enjoy such beautiful things, but the officials do not have the blessing of going to court, and they must afford it at the third day of the day, and they must go to the palace to wait before dawn.
Even if the court officials went to court, they would start at the third update, but the fourth prince Yinzhen had to set out at the third update. For no other reason, just because his house was outside the city, he had to do so. Today is the first dynasty in the 36th year of Kangxi. Although the storm on New Year's Eve has been eight days, Yinzhen was still in a bad mood, but he was not late or not. He got up at the second update, washed up carefully, and used some white porridge to get on the sedan chair.
Not long after entering the city gate, he heard a riot in the guard group ahead. Yinzhen, who was already in a bad mood, felt even more angry at this moment, ordered him to stop the sedan chair and asked angrily: "What's the noise?"
Yinzhen was cold and mean, and he was extremely strict in control, and could not tolerate mistakes. If there was a small mistake, he would not be spared. The servants and guards of his subordinates had many of them who went to the house for trivial matters. Everyone knew that their master was angry recently and had been very restrained, for fear that he would offend his master because of his own accident. He would be whipped. At this moment, he heard Yinzhen's slightly angry voice and calmed down. After a while, the butler Gao Fuer woke up first, leaned against the sedan chair and said calmly: "Master, there is a wounded person with a broken leg in front of him, blocking the way. The servants will carry him away."
"Wounded?" Yinzhen pondered for a moment and said, "What wounded is it?"
"If you want to go back to your master, look like a scholar dressed up like a scholar coming to Beijing for the exam." Gao Fuer had seen the injured person lying in the middle of the road in front of him, and he answered quickly at this moment.
Yinzhen believed in Buddhism since he was a child and was full of compassion. Of course, he basically had verbal skills, but his hands were very cruel. However, he had also done some helping poor people occasionally, and he gained some good reputation. Now he heard that he was an injured scholar, and he felt compassionate and ordered: "Come on, send the injured back to the house first, take good care of him, and ask me when I get off the court."
This is a little bit of a matter, so naturally his subordinates were busy. Yinzhen gave an order and asked him to get up and go straight to the palace. After all, Yinzhen was just like a little duck who saved a chicken, and he didn't take this matter in his heart. Don't just ask if he just turned around, he was afraid that he would not remember this matter for three or five years. What's more, this morning court was too important for Yinzhen. It would be a blessing or a disaster to be immediately clear. He would not even put his mind on the injured scholar of unknown origin.
Yinzhen arrived early, and the palace was still very deserted now. Except for a few Zhang Jing who were on duty in the palace, the intermediate officials such as walking in the study, the other princes and important officials, Yinzhen had no shadows these days. He was very worried and had never rested well at all. He got up a little earlier today. He was a little sleepy now. He greeted the Zhang Jing and sat on the chair against the corner of the wall in the room, tilted his head and took a nap. It was not until the sound of eunuchs shouting "Go to court" in the palace that they woke up, hurriedly sorted out their appearance, and walked towards the Qianqing Palace Hall with the officials...
