The 40th Chapter Discussing the Fu Fu Kangxi Reluctantly Tried the Holy Meaning Yinsi Again
Yinhu pretended to be ill at home and waited patiently for many days, and finally went to court on leave. For a while, he also felt like he was in Lushan. The position of prince had been vacant. If Kangxi was established, it would be worrying at the moment. That is to establish Yinzhi. If Yinzhi reappears, Yinzhen will definitely change his mind and join the past. If he wants to establish a virtuous person, he must be the one to do it, but he must also beware of the wild and unruly fourteenth elder brother Yin. Therefore, he carefully inquires about Yinzhen. On the other hand, Zhen secretly ordered his nanny Yabuqi and his wife to go to Suzhou, obviously to purchase furs, but in fact to contact the White Flag Army under his command to firmly control the Suzhou camp. Even if Yin could lead this army in the future, he would still have control over it. Without real power. At the same time, Longkodo was summoned and asked to "look at the Nine Lords", and the arrangements were made solidly. The courtiers had already conspired in private to recommend Yinhu again, and they were just waiting for an edict from Kangxi to be considered. "Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind."
But the "east wind" never blew. Yinhu was puzzled and decided to see Kangxi in person to find out the details. Therefore, as soon as he had used it early, he went to Donghua Gate, handed the sign and went straight to Qianqing Gate.
When Yinsu arrived, Yinzhen, Yinqi, and Yindu were waiting in Dongnuang Pavilion. Kangxi and several people in the upper study room were discussing the tax exemption. According to Zhang Tingyu, one-third of the world's wealth comes from Jiangnan Province. Now that the trial is being implemented, we have to be steady, keep this fundamental land, and start exempting other provinces first. But Ma Qi and Fang Bao both said in unison: "Since we are exempting, of course we should first exempt Jiangsu and Zhejiang. These two provinces have been exempted for decades. We have done a good job in supporting the imperial government's finances, and the people are looking forward to being exempted from the tax, just like looking at the clouds in the face of a severe drought, we cannot let them down." The three people each insisted on their own reasons, and their faces turned red.
"Two gentlemen!" Zhang Tingyu said, "It's easy to get tax exemptions but difficult to increase taxes. Have you ever thought about it? In other places, exemptions are sometimes indispensable. It has nothing to do with the overall situation. Let's exempt it from Jiangnan first. Once the funds are insufficient, who will you ask for it from? The people have tasted the sweetness. If you want to increase taxes, it will be harder than plucking the feathers from an iron rooster!" Ma Qi sneered: "Tingyu still has no confidence. This is something the emperor has decided. As far as I can see, now our country The cost is waived once every three years, so it’s quite manageable.”
Zhang Tingyu couldn't help but blush when he heard that Kangxi was trying to suppress him. However, after all, he had been the chief minister for a long time and had profound wisdom. He just smiled and said calmly: "What's the harm in worrying more? The emperor went on three expeditions in the past, and every time It will cost 20 million stones of food. Now that the situation in Tibet has not been settled, we dare not conclude that we will not march eastward from Qinghai to attack Alabutan. We have little food in hand, and we will definitely be stretched when the time comes. Although Jiangsu and Zhejiang are bitter, compared with mountains on the left and mountains on the right , I’m afraid it’s still a little better. In the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River, the people are wise and enlightened, but the people are stubborn. If the number of people increases, the consequences will be even more difficult.”
"Your words are a bit contradictory." Fang Bao said calmly, "You say that Jiangnan contributes a lot of power, and you also say that Jiangnan should not be exempted. I think that because troops are needed in the west, Jiangnan should be exempted first. There is no large-scale invasion of troops at the moment. The food supplies from Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan and Jin can be used as emergencies. When troops are used in the future, it will be just the turn to pay taxes in the south of the Yangtze River. Isn't it just right to support each other? The court keeps its word, and the people are not unreasonable - when troops were used in Zhungeer, Yu Chenglong added a tax in Jiangsu. Times, you didn’t rebel!”
Kangxi thought about it carefully and felt that what Fang Bao and Ma Qi said was true, but Zhang Tingyu was old enough to seek the country, so it was not unreasonable. When he looked up, he saw Yinsu walking straight in from the Long clan gate. No matter the courtiers or eunuchs, everyone bowed their backs and bowed. As if welcoming a distinguished guest, Kangxi couldn't help but frowned and told Li Dequan: "Yinhu is here, call him in - are you still arguing? I'm listening?"
But Yinhu was different from Yinzhen and others, and several ministers no longer wanted to argue. Everyone looked at Yinhu, who had been "sick" for a long time, walked in gracefully, saluted neatly, and had a graceful demeanor, and did not want to say any more.
"Brother Si," suddenly, Kangxi also felt a heavy pressure. He just nodded to Yinzhen and said to Yinzhen with a smile: "Which one of them do you think is right?" Yinzhen said calmly without squinting.
: "I think it sounds reasonable to me. However, the long-lived exemption from taxation is an established national policy, and we should not hesitate to show the trust of the world. Therefore, it is more advantageous to start from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. But Tingyu's concerns should not be ignored. According to your son
In my humble opinion, I should issue an edict to the people of the south of the Yangtze River and declare the imperial court's sincere intention to love the people. In this way, if there is an urgent need, please ask the people to be happy to send military rations, so that there will be no shock."
Everyone's hearts lit up after hearing this! Brother Si's method not only protected the general body, but also prevented future troubles. However, none of the three people who went to the study in front of him were offended. Thanks to him for thinking so carefully in an instant!
"Yes." Kangxi smiled and nodded, changed the subject, and asked Yinsu: "Are you cured? I saw someone a few days ago and have you used the ginseng I gave you? Are you okay?"
Yinzhen came here to test Kangxi's idea of opposing Chu. He didn't take the words of the previous ministers to heart. He only thought that what Yinzhen said was clear from all directions, which was a little funny. Because Kangxi asked about his condition, he hurriedly said: "My son
My head is a bit dizzy due to poor recovery, but I am not seriously ill. In addition, my second brother was in trouble, and I am also uneasy. After using the medicine I received from Long Live, I feel much better and my body has benefited from it. I came here to express my gratitude.
reward."
These words were very different from the atmosphere of the previous political discussion. Not only Kangxi, but the rest of the people also felt depressed when they saw him mentioning Yinfeng's dethronement for no reason. Kangxi was originally in a good mood, but was made uncomfortable by the eighth prince's words.
, smiled and said: "What you said is strange! I don't understand that your illness is actually the same as that of the second elder brother? Something happened to him, why are you so 'uneasy'?" These words were very serious, and Kangxi's eyes also gleamed coldly.
It made everyone shudder, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
"Ama!" Yinsu didn't expect that, by some strange combination of circumstances, he said something out of the blue as soon as he opened his mouth, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have said what I just said."
Kangxi snorted, "Speaking from the heart, I think you are telling the truth! You are upset because of what happened to your second elder brother. It is a common thing. Why should you admit your mistake? You must be thinking about the last time.
The prince was deposed and you were recommended, but it turned out to be very boring. This time he was deposed again, so you probably think it's time to recommend you again, but don't you?" These words were heartbreaking, Kangxi said them loudly and fast,
It was like a barrage of firecrackers, and everyone in the hall was stunned, and their heads were buzzing.
"Ama Shengjian!" Yinzhen's heart skipped a beat, and he simply kowtowed and said, "Whether it was last time or this time, I did not make any secret moves! I am in danger, so I am naturally uneasy. This is all
It's the fault of a minister who is ignorant and unskilled." Kangxi spat: "Fart! Last time I had a decree and asked the officials to recommend someone, but this time there was no decree and the officials did not recommend anyone, so why do you feel uneasy?"
Yinzhu fell to the ground and choked up: "Father said so, my son will die without a burial place... Ask yourself, my son is upright and has no disrespect for his father! For some reason, he fell out of love with his father and became suspicious.
This is what I have to do..." As he spoke, he couldn't hold back any longer, sobbed and burst into tears!
Seeing him like this, Kangxi put himself in Yinhu's shoes and felt discouraged. He sighed: "You don't have to be like this. You are my flesh and blood. As long as you can fulfill your filial piety as a son and loyalty as a minister, why do I call you
Can't get through? You just provoked me for no reason today, saying that you have ruined the second elder brother. You are uneasy, using the topic to test my will, wouldn't it chill my heart?" Yinsu has calmed down at this moment, he came here to test, these words
It still sounded elusive, so he said: "My father loves his son very much, but he thinks in his heart: Life is just like this, and the trees and grass are just like this - now we are in a dilemma. I want to go on an errand, or go out to lead the army."
, I am afraid that people will say that my son has taken power and respects himself, and has lofty ideals. He wants to cut off his hair, wear a veil, and go to the mountains to escape the world, but he is also afraid that he will be criticized by others, which will hurt his father's kindness. After thinking about it, there is no perfect way. Please father.
Yun Erchen told him to take a rest to express his feelings!" Kangxi had already calmed down, but after listening to Yinhu's detours, he still persisted in probing. He couldn't help but get angry again, and sneered: "You are really persistent! Look!
Have you come to make up your mind today and want to get to the bottom of it? I can only tell you that a gentleman is magnanimous and a villain is always worried. You should be more open-minded and just be your "eighth master". There is no need to run errands or lead troops.
No. If you continue to tempt me, you won’t be able to become a monk, and you won’t be able to pretend to be sick!”
"Huang Ama's words are too much." Yin made up his mind to make Kangxi angry. Hearing this, he fell to his knees with a plop, raised his face and said, "It's more sad to say this than to gouge out the heart! The tiger poison is not there yet
Where's Shi'er? Poor myna has always been a good person, but he's been troubled. This time something happened to Yin Reng, he was even more frightened that one person didn't dare to see him, and the other two didn't dare to go out. He had no choice but to come to Ama for advice on how to save his life.
Isn't this pitiful? Now that even pretending to be sick and leaving home to avoid disasters makes Banzai angry, it would be better to kill him with one knife, how convenient..." He was arrogant and wanted to go on, but Yinsu next to him had been killed.
His face turned pale with fright, and he just shouted: "Fourteenth brother, don't cause trouble! Don't you want me to live?" After saying this, he shook his body and lost his breath. Everyone in the hall was already frightened like wood carvings and clay sculptures.
No one dared to help me.
Kangxi was so angry that his face was as thick as gold paper, and he was about to collapse. Xing Nian and Li Dequan rushed to help him. Unexpectedly, Kangxi jumped up, and each of them slapped his face, knocking him to the ground! Fang Baogang said: "Long live carefully."
Dragon body!" Kangxi also shouted: "Don't worry about it!" Kangxi shook violently, laughed ferociously, and searched around with dull eyes. After a long time, he stomped to the wall and took off the beaded and engraved gold handle.
The emperor's sword - which is usually used for show, or when there is a special imperial mission to send troops and horses to give ministers the opportunity to do things conveniently - he looked at it with trembling hands, pulled it out with a "clop" sound, and saw Han Sensen's sword.
The sword flashed, and everyone was stunned! Zhang Tingyu shouted: "Long live!" He fell down on the ground and nodded repeatedly. Ma Qi knelt down, turned around and shouted to Yin: "Why don't you apologize quickly?"
Yin raised his head proudly, glanced at the sword with disdain, and said, "It's just death!" Kangxi yelled, "What a beast!" When he was about to come over, Yinqi hugged his knees tightly, crying and pleading, "
Long live my dear father! You...you..." The fifth elder brother was usually honest and honest, and was poor at words. Now he was anxious and frightened, and could not even speak clearly. As he spoke, Kangxi kicked him angrily.
He kicked Yinqi away and thrust his sword to stab him. Fang Bao was impatient and shouted: "Yin, it's a filial piety for me to go away! Why don't you run away quickly?" He shouted and threw himself in front of Kangxi, holding his hands to stop him.
He cried loudly: "Your Majesty! Please wake up and deal with it calmly..." Na Yin had already kowtowed and left in a hurry.
Kangxi looked at Yinhu who was unconscious on the ground, and then looked out of the palace in a daze. Suddenly he dropped his sword on the ground, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Great Emperor! You don't love me, why do you call me successful? You love me,
Why did you send down these pigs and dogs to torture me again?" Tears welled up in his confused eyes, and he said slowly, "Mr. Wu, where are you? Tell Long Er, what should I do... what should I do?...
…”
"Mr. Wu" was Wu Ciyou, Kangxi's childhood mentor. Kangxi's career and knowledge were based on this person. Kangxi's nickname was "Long'er", and only he had the right to call him so by special decree. More than thirty years have passed since this happened.
Except for Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu Yingchuochao who knew a little bit about the inside story, no one else knew what Kangxi meant. When Yinzhen saw Yinshu lying in the palace, Kangxi didn't say anything, and it was difficult for the ministers to deal with him. He hurriedly told Xing Nian: "Look for a spring break."
Take the stool and carry the eighth master back to the house, then go to the imperial hospital and ask the doctor to check Wanzai's pulse; call another imperial doctor to go to Prince Lian's house..." Everyone helped Kangxi, who was half dead with anger, onto the kang.
He stroked Kangxi's chest, beat his shoulders, pinched his legs, and softly comforted him.
Kangxi was half lying on the big pillow, his eyes closed and he didn't speak. He didn't know how long it took before he took a deep breath. Zhang Tingyu felt relieved, stepped forward and said softly with tears in his eyes: "Master, you have to take care of yourself today.
This matter is all about talking in a hurry, not choosing what to say in a hurry, not choosing what to do in a hurry, and I blame the servant for not serving you well. The fourteenth elder brother speaks impetuously, and I can't blame you for being angry. I know that there is no better son than his father, the fourteenth elder brother
Naoto, please speak quickly. You have to sympathize with him, and you have to sympathize with yourself. It is not a blessing for the ministers to be angry when the emperor has a body of thousands of dollars. What should you do if you have someone... to call your slaves?"
"You guys should consider drafting an imperial edict about the tax exemption and send it out tomorrow." Kangxi drank a glass of hot wine and gradually recovered his energy. However, he had no energy. He coughed twice and said again, "There is also Lu Longqi's memorial.
, Ding Yintian combined the gifts into one, and allowed him to try. The world is so big, and people and affairs are different everywhere, so we can't generalize - as for Yin, you don't need to persuade me. I just fainted and took him to have an attack. In fact, the mastermind is still Yinhu
!I am actually very happy that Brother Fourteen dares to do something..."
Yinzhen couldn't help but was stunned: his father was so angry that he couldn't bear to die, but he came to his senses so quickly! He paused for a moment with the hand that beat his leg, then gently pressed it, and said: "Don't think about anything now, Ama, it's too much trouble."
There is damage to the dragon body. But as Ting Yu said, your old man has a problem. Who can your sons trust? I almost scared my son to death today..." As he spoke, tears fell like beads, and he blew it and said, "That's right.
The eighth elder brother may not be that bad. He has his difficulties... If you are more considerate, my sons and ministers will benefit a lot..."
"Yinsu's intentions are so chilling!" Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen, "The claws are sharp, the feathers are plump, the roots are intertwined, and they respond to a hundred calls. It is so sinister that even I feel frightened!" He looked at the top of the hall with regret.
Cao Jing sighed: "...it can't be said that it is not a strength for a person to invite people to this point. Brother Si, you have always been honest and filial, but you just do things too hard and don't avoid resentment. You have to learn from others.
!" Yinzhen felt hot in his heart, and the blood all over his body flowed around him. He choked and said: "...My son has remembered it..."
Kangxi sat up, hugged his knees and pondered for a long time, and said: "The camp troops in the capital need to be adjusted, and the governors and generals outside also need to be adjusted. Well... The capital should adjust troops but not its officials, and the officials outside should be adjusted but not its troops. That's fine.
You can save some money without causing any trouble. Ma Qi, you write a statement and I will consider it myself."
"Cha!" Ma Qi's voice was so loud that even he was startled.
"It's not that I'm over-concerned. I'm not prepared. If I'm not in good health in the future, someone will claim that the military is in trouble and force me to abdicate. The person they support must be Bage Yinsu!" He glanced at the nervous and pale crowd. , sighed and said: "If such a thing is true, I advise you not to be loyal ministers and martyrs. Yongle was in trouble, so many direct ministers died, and they will not be able to recover in hundreds of years - I, an old man, can only take medicine and smile. Just died!" After saying that, he burst into tears.
Everyone shuddered when they heard that Kangxi took the situation so seriously. Yinzhen wiped away his tears and said: "Ama looks at Bage like this, does he still have a way to survive? Now that Yinti and Yinxiang are in claustrophobia, Yinzhen Needless to say, I'm afraid it's rare to turn around in this life! The eighth elder brother is just relying on his good popularity and taking advantage of the second elder brother's matter, which is somewhat unreasonable. To say that he can rebel, I think I am willing to guarantee my wealth and life, and it will definitely not happen..." Ma Qi also advised: "Your Majesty, what the fourth master said is true. I also dare to guarantee that the eighth prince will not have the intention of tampering. The slave thinks that the prince is empty. It's not a problem if your position lasts for a long time. If you make a reservation early and have a seat, others won't covet you." Yinzhen heard a "Glad" in his heart, but lowered his head and pretended not to pay attention.
"Who is the second elder brother? Yin Reng is rebellious and has repeatedly lost people's hearts, but he is just a Dou! The eighth elder brother is from a humble background, and people's hearts are knotted again and again. He is unbreakable and indestructible. This person is a hundred times more dangerous than Yin Reng!" Kangxi ignored it! Yinzhen was worried and just followed his own thoughts and said: "Being popular is a good thing. If you have evil intentions, the more popular you are, the more it will bring chaos and harm to the country! Isn't Wang Mang just an example?" He said sadly and helplessly, but Seeing Brother Zhang Wu entering the hall, he murmured, bowed silently, and stepped aside. Kangxi asked, "What's the matter?"
The fifth brother hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "He Meng from Tai Hospital was ordered to come in and check the master's pulse. The third elder brother, the sixth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother took the fourteenth elder brother and handed over the sign. I saw that Brother Fourteen had offended the emperor today, and he regretted it so much that he was kneeling outside the Longzong Gate. He wanted to come in to say hello and apologize, but he was afraid that the master would be annoyed and ask the servants to come in and take a look..." " When He Meng came in, no one else saw him." Kangxi said coldly, "I don't need these pretense and false filial piety!" Fang Bao said with a smile: "Father and son love each other so much, what's the point of enmity? I still called you in according to my wishes. OK." Kangxi was speechless.
Suddenly, Yinzhi, Yinzuo, Yinzhen, Yinli, and Yinzhen came in in a jumble of footsteps, followed by Yinzhen with his head lowered. Yinzhi took the lead and bowed to greet him, and the brothers knelt down one by one. Yinzhen saw the imperial doctor coming. , gave way and retreated to the prince's order. The fifth elder brother also hurriedly followed and knelt under Yinzhi. Kangxi said "hmm" and lay down. He Meng took a step forward and knelt on the ground, supporting him. He lifted Kangxi's arm and placed it on the yellow pillow, and he muttered and percussed. After a long time, he switched to his right hand and examined, and then kowtowed and said: "Master, the left foot of the dragon pulse is floating and slippery, the inches are heavy and stagnant, and the right side is mixed and numerous, it is responsible for heart palpitations." Fainting, dizzy as if in a boat, legs swollen. This is due to poor liver stasis, so that Yang fire rises, which is a symptom of acute pain and phlegm. Fortunately, the master has taken good care of himself, and the disease has not affected the heart. The slave uses cinnabar and poria. Waiting for the medicine to soothe the nerves and suppress evil, take it in small doses, it may be effective - what is the unknown holy intention?" Seeing Kangxi nodding, he retreated to the outside of the hall. Yinzhen kowtowed to Kangxi, followed him out, and watched He Meng wrote medical records and prescribed medications.
"Are you all here?" Kangxi then turned to Yinzhi and others and said, "One time is not enough, you have to do it again? It's a pity that Yinzhu didn't come. With him as the leader and you guys, this Golden Palace will not be destroyed.
It's so bloody!" Yinzhi hurriedly kowtowed and said: "My brother is outside now, and his son is the oldest. He has made a lot of mistakes, and I just want to punish him. My fourteenth brother is messing around today, and I have offended my brother.
He was so angry that when he went to see his son, he cried bitterly and felt very regretful - he already knew that he had done it. Amma, please forgive him! The other brothers all went to worship the mausoleum in Fengtian, and my son took them to see him.
He went to Prince Lian's Mansion specially, and Yinhu felt extremely regretful. He was too ill to get up, so he kowtowed on his pillow and looked at the palace, and asked his ministers to plead guilty on his behalf..."
Yin lay on the ground, twitching all over. After Yinzhi finished speaking, he said: "My son is ignorant and ignorant, and he has made a big mistake. I don't dare to ask my father for forgiveness. I only ask for heavy punishment. I will
I can feel more at ease..." As he spoke, he kept sobbing, but he didn't dare to speak out.
"There is a saying among the people that a family scandal should not be publicized." Kangxi said sadly, "Starting from August 15th of the 47th year, you have been making trouble for more than four years, and you have not been able to live a single day! I have 100% of my intentions, and 90% of them have been spent.
The government affairs have been neglected on you, and you are still useless. You have become an unkind and famous person who has spread all over the world!" He smiled bitterly, took a sip of tea and said, "In the past, I laughed at Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty who didn't know how to handle housework.
I feel really ashamed when I think about it! Why are you going through so much trouble? Isn’t it just for the throne? It seems that all I want is not to be second to Duke Huan of Qi, but I am burning high-quality incense! Think about it, the Fifth Young Master is really causing trouble in the court.
Things, you occupy the Palace of Qianqing, he occupies the Palace of Supreme Harmony, the other occupies the Changchun Garden, and this one lives in Wanshou Mountain. We don’t talk about our ancestors and the country, and we don’t talk about the country of the Qing Dynasty. If we write a note in the history books, who will look at us in the future generations?
Where are you guys? 'Brothers who work together are as powerful as gold', you have to think about it carefully..."
Kangxi talked for a long time, his lips were parched and his mouth was parched. Unfortunately, these gentlemen each had their own plans in mind: "You have your own plans, and I have my old ideas." None of them moved anyone. Yinzhi was
He no longer expected to be the crown prince, so he lay on the ground thinking about the evening meeting and asked Chen Menglei to write a couplet for the newly built bookstore. Yin bit his tongue and said nothing, while Yin Zhen thought about it, if the old man failed, whose turn would it be?
The fourteenth elder brother kept picking at the cracks in the bricks... He seemed to be listening attentively, but in fact he couldn't get a word in. Kangxi also knew that his sons seemed to be submissive at the moment, and there was no guarantee that they would remain the same after that, so he said: "
Prick up your ears! Don’t you want to know what my idea is? Don’t bother asking, I am determined not to establish a prince as long as I live!”
"What?" When the princes heard this sentence, their hearts trembled, and they raised their heads in unison.
"What should I do?" Kangxi hated and laughed in his heart. When he saw Yinzhen coming in to hand over the prescription, he glanced briefly and said, "Add some astragalus." Then he continued: "I will have a legacy on the day of my death. I will leave it before my death."
Let me tell you, whoever succeeds will naturally understand - there is no use in worrying about this madness now! Study hard, cultivate your moral character, cultivate your morality as a king, and settle your destiny as a minister. Only in this way can we, father and son, live in peace.
Always.”
After hearing this in shock, the brothers came to their senses after a while, and kowtowed together: "I obey the order!" Yinzhen, who came back from changing the prescription, admired Wu Sidao for being so good at predicting things! But he said with a smile: "Ama, today
I'm really tired, so don't talk about it now. My son will send you back to Yangxin Hall, and just wait for the soup!"
[Note 1] Small Suffering and Big Departure: Dayu accepted his father's punishment and endured it as a small child. When he was about to die, he ran away to avoid trapping his father in his unkindness. Therefore, it is called "Small Suffering and Big Departure" as filial piety. (To be continued)
