Chapter 1,250: Father and son turn against each other, nothing to gain
Li Dequan didn't spend much time looking for Su Mingzhe.
In other words, Li Dequan didn't waste any time at all. He had just walked out of the imperial study. Before he left the south study, he saw Su Mingzhe and Prime Minister Zhang Yushu walking towards the imperial study, talking and laughing.
"I would like to say hello to Fourth Master, and please say hello to Master Zhang!"
After Zhang Ying, Suo'etu, Nalan Mingzhu and other big men left the court, Zhang Yushu became the veritable leader of the officials of the Qing Dynasty.
Li Guangdi, who is more famous than Zhang Yushu, is still just the Minister of the Han Dynasty and is under the management of Su Mingzhe.
"No need!"
As a prince, Su Mingzhe is not as powerful as Zhang Yushu, but his status is above him.
"Fourth Master, please see me in the imperial study room!"
After hearing this, Su Mingzhe said goodbye to Zhang Yushu and followed Li Dequan to the imperial study.
When Kangxi heard someone coming in, he thought Li Dequan was back again, and immediately roared in a deep voice:
"Have you found the fourth child?"
This old man is very angry!
Su Mingzhe sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm and he respectfully said:
"My son, I would like to send my regards to Emperor Ama!"
"snort--"
Kangxi looked at his son who stood up on his own initiative after greeting him without waiting for him to speak, and anger suddenly surged to his forehead:
"Guizi, are you going to rebel?"
"I don't dare!"
Su Mingzhe looked at the broken pieces of the tea bowl on the ground, maintained his usual calm tone, and said with a slight smile:
"Just now, I was discussing government affairs with Zhang Zhongtang. The third father-in-law suddenly said that the emperor called me for something. I came over immediately without any hesitation! I wonder why the emperor called me?"
Kangxi saw that Su Mingzhe was avoiding the important point and changed the subject lightly. Although he wanted to ask people to take the traitor out and beat him to death, he thought of a very important matter and temporarily put Su Mingzhe's rudeness behind him, and then He grabbed the pamphlet on the table and threw it over:
"Nie Zi, please explain to me what is going on in this pamphlet?"
After Su Mingzhe took the booklet lightly, he read it briefly and confirmed that it was the one he had written. He just smiled slightly and explained:
"Huang Ama, a few days ago, when my tenth brother got married, I went to congratulate him. I overheard many princes and ministers, and even some relatives of the emperor, rumoring that my tenth brother and Martai Ruoxi were in love. It is said that Guo Luoluo asked Concubine Yi for help, and persuaded Emperor Ama to grant her a Mid-Autumn Festival marriage and beat the couple."
"I compiled this brochure to tell those who are talking nonsense that the Emperor Ama's marriage to Guoluo Luoshi Mingyu to his tenth brother was not just a matter of beating mandarin ducks," so that they should not spread rumors and slander royal affairs. "
"If the Emperor Ama thinks that my son's behavior is inappropriate, please ask the Emperor to punish him!"
[You’re such a traitor, you’ve already said this, and I’m still punishing you!]
Kangxi looked at the traitor in front of him with a livid face. If his eyes could kill, he would kill the traitor in front of him ten thousand times now.
He naturally knew that the original proposal to marry Guo Luo Luo's Mingyu to the tenth prince Yin was intended to beat the mandarin ducks.
However, he is the emperor, who dares to say that he is wrong?
What's more, when he was beating up the mandarin ducks, he also found a scapegoat - Concubine Yi of the Guo Luo Luo family.
Now he has taken a fancy to Ruoxi, and just because he doesn't want to be talked about, he thinks of waiting for Ruoxi to participate in the draft on his own initiative, and then transfer him to serve by his side.
As a result, the fourth child directly played a trick on himself, "the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole follows" - he cut off his beard.
However, the reasons given by Su Mingzhe left Kangxi unable to find any serious faults.
There was a moment of silence in the imperial study room.
Seeing that Kangxi's breathing was getting heavier and heavier, Su Mingzhe was afraid of making the old man angry to death. He had no place to reason, so he had to say:
"Huang Ama, if you have nothing else to do, I'll take my leave first. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in the Ministry of Personnel!"
Kangxi gritted his teeth and finally roared out one word:
"roll!"
"My son, please retire!"
Su Mingzhe was afraid that he would make the old man angry to death, so he turned around and left without stopping for a while.
Kangxi looked at the "evil son"'s leaving figure, and finally spit out a few more words from his throat:
"Secret message... Big Brother is back in Beijing!"
As the princes grew up and Suo'etu, Nalan Mingzhu and others left, the Qing court now split into the Big Brother Party, the Communist Party, and the Eight Kings Party.
Kangxi was also a ruthless man. In order to check and balance, he took the "Emperor's Balance Technique" to the extreme.
Let the eldest brother take charge of the military and guard the frontier.
The prince's party assists in government affairs and is responsible for the promotion and promotion of officials.
The Eight Kings Party controlled the Ministry of Household Affairs and held the Qing Dynasty's money bag.
When the three parties fought, the Communist Party had the upper hand because of the issue of status.
Fortunately, the Communist Party and the Eight Kings Party belong to a natural alliance, so they can compete with the prince.
After the check and balance of the three parties, Kangxi would sit on the Diaoyutai on weekdays, go down to the south of the Yangtze River, and outside the Great Wall, and enjoy various activities.
Now, Su Mingzhe's tough attitude instantly gave Kangxi a sense of crisis.
Kangxi urgently needed to find someone who could suppress Su Mingzhe.
And this person, in Kangxi's opinion, was the only elder brother who commanded the troops outside.
The eldest brother received the edict and rushed back to the capital. It was already December.
Kangxi suddenly recruited his eldest brother back to Beijing, and people who were sensitive to politics were aware of it.
This day.
Ninth Prince Yin ran to Babeile's house. He couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and said excitedly:
"Myna, here's your chance!"
"What opportunity has come?"
Yin is now leading the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Because he is busy with the Spring Festival, he pays less attention to other affairs.
Dang Yin told the story in detail about the return of Kangxi's secret edict, and continued excitedly:
"Bago, we all originally guessed that Huang Ama asked the boss to come back just to celebrate the New Year."
"It turns out that we all guessed wrong!"
"This time, the fourth child was fooled by lard, and he actually offended Emperor Ama for a woman. Now that the boss is back, if he wants to deal with the fourth child, he will definitely depose the prince first!"
Regarding Yin's excitement, Yin directly poured cold water on it:
"Even if the crown prince is deposed and a direct heir is established, it still belongs to the eldest son. What does it have to do with us?"
"Even if we don't establish direct heirs and instead establish virtuous people, do you think we can compare with Fourth Brother now?"
Yin said in confusion:
"Bago, are you confused? Now that the fourth child has offended Huang Ama, how could Huang Ama still go to establish the fourth child?"
Looking at the poisonous snake Lao Jiu in front of him, Yin felt a little resentful that iron could not make steel:
"The 'offended' you mentioned was Li Dequan who told you, but do the civil and military officials know about this?"
After hearing this, Yin quickly shook his head and said:
"This... I haven't heard from our people recently that we have received any relevant news!"
Kangxi originally wanted Ruoxi to enter the palace to serve him, but in order to make up for his 10th prince Yin, he gave him Guo Luo's Mingyu in marriage.
Only a very few people knew about this kind of thing, such as Li Dequan, who served Kangxi, and a few well-known people involved.
Other than that, no one knows the truth.
Outsiders didn't even know that Kangxi wanted Ruoxi to enter the palace, so how could they know that Su Mingzhe had offended Kangxi by intercepting Hu?
Seeing that Lao Jiu was not too stupid, Yin reminded him:
"Since the courtiers don't know about these things, then you think, if Emperor Ama asked the courtiers to recommend a wise prince to be the crown prince, do you think the ministers should choose the fourth son who has been in charge of the civil service for many years, or I, who is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Where is the old man?"
Yin, who was awakened by Yin, suddenly started to sweat coldly in the middle of winter:
"Bago, it's me who wants to fuck you
I almost made wedding dresses for the eldest and fourth child!"
Seeing Lao Jiu wake up, Yin let out a long sigh:
"This opportunity is indeed too rare, but it's a pity that we couldn't seize it!"
"Notify our people that if the eldest brother wants to attack the prince, we must not add insult to injury. If necessary, we will help him!"
After Yin finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
It was obvious that he had been hiding his wish for many years, which was to bring down the prince.
But now an opportunity appeared, but because he couldn't benefit from it, he had to take action to protect the prince.
