Lao Ba and Lao Fourteen both want the Nian family.
Kangxi naturally understood that what his two sons were interested in was not Nian's beauty, but the political potential of Nian Gengyao, the governor of Sichuan.
Sichuan is located in the southwest. In addition to being rich in products, the only advantage Sichuan Governor has is that it is very close to the snowy areas.
Once the Junggar people extend their claws into the snowy areas, the Qing Dynasty will definitely go to war.
Moreover, there are only two routes for sending troops, one is from Xining and the other is from Sichuan.
Kangxi had been planning these two marching routes for a long time.
Marching into the snowy region from Xining, the terrain is relatively flat. The only drawback is that unless they rob the cattle and sheep of the Heshuote tribes in Qinghai, it will be very difficult to supply the army.
Marching from Yazhou in Sichuan, the mountains are high, the roads are dangerous, and the rugged areas are difficult to navigate. The advantage is that with the land of abundance at our back, even if we recruit over 10,000 civilians, we can still keep up with food supplies.
In layman's terms, if you send troops to the snowy region from Sichuan, you won't be afraid of wasting food.
However, there are also troubles in sending troops from Sichuan.
After leaving Yazhou Prefecture in the west, the Dajianlu Hall (Kangding), Yachukasi (Yajiang), Litangsi, and Batangsi along the way are all the chieftain territory of Jisi. The mountains are extremely dangerous and the situation in the Tibetan tribe is complicated.
To put it bluntly, Lao Ba and Lao Fourteen both want military power!
"Lao Ba, what do you think?" Lao Fourteen suddenly jumped out and caught Kangxi off guard. Naturally, it was impossible for the old emperor to let Lao Ba, whom he had always been afraid of, go.
When his name was called, the old man had no choice but to leave the table and kneel in the middle.
"Oh my God, I thought that since Lao Si really likes me, I might as well point it out to him." Lao Ba rolled his eyes. He probably won't get the Nian family anymore, so he just wants to take advantage of Lao Si.
.
Anyway, the meat is always rotten in the pot. Rather than giving the other princes an advantage, it would be better to just help the Fourteenth.
After all, Old Fourteen can be considered a member of the Ba Ye Party.
Yuzhu touched his chin and thought, Lao Ba's reaction is so sensitive, he is a real tactician.
Think about it, Lao Ba does not have a strong maternal clan power. He started from scratch. How could he not have a few hard brushes?
Before Prince An's Mansion and Lao Jiu completely got closer, Lao Ba played a key role in being able to win over a large number of meritorious and courteous corporals from the Manchurian Army.
It's a pity that Lao Ba has read tens of thousands of books, but he failed to understand the mystery of the inheritance of the throne, and was completely defeated in strategy.
Tactically, even if Laoba wins ten thousand times, it will be useless.
Once Kangxi had such a bad impression of being a clique, coveting the big position, and having evil intentions, the more successful Lao Ba would be tactically, the more completely he would lose strategically.
The eighth child backed down, and Nian was about to take advantage of the fourth child. What would the fourth child do?
Yuzhu is really curious!
Just when Yuzhu was full of expectations, Lao Shiliu suddenly covered his stomach and rolled on the floor in pain. He shouted: "My stomach hurts so much. Isn't the food poisonous?"
Might the royal food at palace banquets be poisonous?
Good guy, this news was so shocking that it completely attracted Kangxi's attention.
"Come here, hurry up, send the doctor to the doctor quickly, send the doctor to the doctor quickly." Kangxi quickly ordered.
Although Kangxi usually treated Lao Shiliu very normally.
However, Lao Shiliu was Lao Shiba's biological brother after all, and the old emperor's love for him spread all over the house, so it was inevitable that he would be extremely anxious.
After Lao Shiliu interfered like this, no matter how stupid Lao Shiliu was, he would not dare to pursue Kangxi to get the Nian family.
One of the main reasons why Prince Yinreng was deposed was that he had no brotherhood. This lesson was extremely profound, and the fourteenth man knew it well.
After frantic diagnosis and treatment by the imperial physician, Lao Shiliu's abdominal pain was determined to be severe gastrointestinal discomfort caused by external evils invading the internal organs after eating too much cold food.
After Yuzhu heard this reason, he couldn't help but nodded secretly, what a powerful fourth child!
In this round, Yuzhu calmly calculated six people. Among them, De Fei, Lao Ba and Lao Siwen fell into the trap smoothly.
In addition, the Nian family was openly fought over by the two princes. Even if Nian Gengyao did nothing, it was obviously impossible for Kangxi to trust him as before.
Furthermore, Yuzhubu's plot successfully aroused Kangxi's suspicion. Whether Nian Gengyao would be able to serve as the governor of Shaanxi-Gansu in the future must be a big question mark!
Five of the six people fell into Yuzhu's trick.
Only the fourth child, in such a short period of time, used the genius of the sixteenth child to pretend to be ill and avoided the huge crisis of exposing his ambition to seize the throne in public.
Matters in the court will be settled if things are slowed down. If things are delayed, there will always be a way to solve them in a roundabout way.
However, Yuzhu was not completely without gains.
At least, the fratricide between the Fourteenth and the Fourth will reach a new level from now on.
Moreover, with Lao Si’s wisdom, how could he not guess that it was Lao Si that his mother, Concubine De, really supported!
Very good, mother and son are suspicious of each other, and brothers are killing each other. This situation gradually takes shape, giving Yuzhu a lot of gaps to exploit.
Just when Yuzhu was somewhat proud, Kangxi suddenly called his name.
"Yuzhu, tell me, who should Nian point to?" Kangxi asked this in public, and Yuzhu couldn't help but secretly complain.
Damn it, Kang Mazi is too bad, he wants to completely force Yuzhu into Chunchen's dead end, and he will never be able to turn around again.
The truth is actually obvious. No matter who Yuzhu supports in pointing out the Nian family, he will offend Lao Ba, Lao Fourteen and Lao Si at the same time.
Moreover, if Yuzhu suggested pointing out the Nian family to any prince, it would be hell if the old emperor did not suspect him.
Is it okay to secretly collude with the prince's elder brother?
The military power held by Yuzhu will be completely lost in the blink of an eye.
"Back to the emperor, I am a foreign minister and I don't dare to inquire about the affairs of the inner court." Yuzhu ignored the vegetable soup and rice scattered all over the floor, knelt down, fell to the ground, and never raised his head again.

"Humph, if I ask you to speak, just say it. Don't pretend to be stupid." Kangxi obviously failed to achieve his goal and refused to give up. He had to push Yuzhu completely into the pile of pure ministers.
Yuzhu had actually thought of a countermeasure a long time ago. However, some words had to wait until the heat was high enough before he could say them.
If the heat is not enough, it will not be as simple as saying it in vain, but it will also cause fire and burn yourself.
"Go back to the emperor. In view of the stupidity of this slave, it is better to simply give up the name and allow him to return home and marry himself." Yuzhu was forced by Kang Mazi, so he simply made a very bad move.
Well, after giving up the brand, Nian's marriage must be decided by Nian Xialing.
In today's era of strict etiquette, children's marriages have always been ordered by their parents. How can a matchmaker's words be used to make a private lifelong decision?
Nian Yaoling is a truly sensible person who has read history thoroughly. He has never advocated that people from the Nian family get involved in the struggle for the throne.
Yuzhu didn't care at all if he offended Lao Ba and Lao Si, or even Concubine De.
The problem is that Yuzhu doesn't want to have a public showdown with Lao Si too early.
The fourth child is in the light, and the jade pillar is in the dark. There is room for movement, and the space is extremely huge.
After giving up the Nian family name, Nian Xialing refused to allow her daughter to enter the fourth prince's palace as a concubine, so she had nothing to do with Yuzhu.
A dead Taoist friend, never a poor Taoist, is the golden rule in official circles to protect the commander even if he loses his position!
I have a terrible headache at this young age, what’s wrong with Guan Yuzhu?
People in the court must be proficient in all kinds of deceptive rules of light and darkness.
For example, after the Nian family was kicked out, the fourth child could only take her as his concubine, but it was impossible for him to accept her as a concubine.
The daughter of the former governor of Huguang and the sister of the current governor of Sichuan actually became the concubine of Prince Yong. Isn't this self-humiliation?
Even if it was true, Nian Xialing, forced by the power of his fourth son as the leader of the Three White Banners, pinched his nose and admitted it.
(Note: The Three Banners of Xiangbai refer to the three banners of Manchuria, Mongolia and the Han Army under Xiangbai. The fourth child is in charge of the affairs of the three flags and is the flag owner.)
Hehe, Nian Gengyao was a high-ranking official with a Jinshi background. He was not stupid. My brother was not a serious relative of the fourth child at all.
However, the fourth child could not blame Yuzhu for this damaging move.
Because the infantry commander, who had the military power in the capital, actually suggested to the old emperor to give the fourth son a chance to win over Nian Gengyao.
Hey, Yuzhu, this is not a suggestion, but a foolish act of taking the initiative to get someone killed.
Tigers also take a nap, so how did Kangxi know that the father and son, Nian Yaoling and Nian Gengyao, had a sharp opposition?
Not to mention Kangxi, even the fourth child, so far, still doesn't know that Nian Xialing has a close-yet-far attitude towards him.
Historically, even after Nian became the fourth son's side, Nian Yaling still led the entire Nian family to choose neutrality instead of completely siding with the fourth son.
Yuzhu's suggestion was very clever, and seemed to offend both Lao Ba and Lao Fourteen.
Perhaps Kangxi felt at ease, so he let Yuzhu go and said calmly: "I will escort you back to Qianqing Palace."
"Hey." After Yuzhu stood up, his court clothes were covered with oil, rice grains, vegetable juice and other filth, and he could no longer see anyone.
Kangxi saw a grain of rice on Yuzhu's chin, and he looked stupid without knowing it. He couldn't help laughing and cursed: "Forget it, look at how dirty you are? Why don't you go down and wash yourself again?"
In court dress?"
"Hey." Yuzhu deliberately soiled his court clothes just to get out.
However, the plan did not change quickly, and Kangxi forced him to show his cards before the court uniform's dirty tricks were used.
What happened today, Lao Sixteen obviously felt his stomach was cold, but he said the food was poisonous.
Kangxi was not stupid, I'm afraid he had written it down in the little black book for him.
It's just that Lao Shiliu is a matter of the Fourth Master's Party and has been kept very well hidden. Kangxi doesn't know about it for the time being.
In the final analysis, the fourth child is too cunning, and the sixteenth child is also willing to take care of things for the fourth child.
Yuzhu soaked in the bucket and washed it clean, but he figured out one thing: after the fourth son came to the throne, he gave a huge advantage to the sixteenth son, so that the sixteenth son could inherit Heshuo.
The title of Prince Zhuang.
This obviously has the nature of rewarding merit!
After seeing it for a while, I deduced that in the later years of Kangxi's life, Lao Shiliu must have been a die-hard backbone member of the Fourth Ye Party!
However, when Yuzhu finished grooming and went to see Kangxi, Kangxi suddenly said: "I'm thinking about it, why don't I reward you with the Nian family?"
"Ah..." Yuzhu was so shocked that he was stunned and dumbfounded.
(PS: Here comes the first update, written very smoothly. If the monthly ticket exceeds 1800, it will be the fourth update. In other words, there are still three more updates!)
