Yongzheng was so angry that he didn't recover in one breath and almost turned it over. Prince Cheng confronted him as soon as he met him, and he accused him on his own words. Is this still the brother's attitude towards his brother? Is this still the minister's respect for the emperor?

For a moment, Yongzheng even wanted to shout loudly and directly called someone to come in and put the younger brother in the prison, but Yongzheng, whose face was blue and white, finally held back. If Prince Guo and Prince Cheng came together this time, then Yongzheng would definitely do this without hesitation. Unfortunately, Prince Cheng is here alone now. Once he does this, he will have to consider the consequences.

"Old Fourteen, Lao Fourteen, you, what do you want me to say to you?" Holding back the anger, Yongzheng pretended to be a brother who was so angry that he shook his head and sighed.

"I thank you for my teachings from the Fourth Brother, who is my younger brother. But the audio and video of Emperor Ama was in front of me back then. I am very worried in my heart. Please forgive me." Prince Cheng respectfully bowed to Yongzheng for the first time. Of course, this ceremony was not a great bow from the minister to the emperor, but a gift from the younger brother to the brother.

Yongzheng gritted his teeth, and Prince Cheng's words once again touched his heart. It was clearly to use Kangxi to suppress himself, and at the same time mocking himself for his face, a usurper, to scold his brothers with righteousness.

Just as Yong could hardly help but was about to take an attack, Prince Cheng's voice sounded again.

"Fourth brother, it's not a few months before the beginning of spring next year. The Ming Dynasty in the east is a confidant of my Qing Dynasty. Once the Ming army comes to attack next year, I don't know what plans are for the Fourth brother? How can I stop the Ming army and protect my Qing Dynasty's foundation?"

"What do you think about this?" Since he talked about the serious matter, Yongzheng could only force himself to press his anger and took a deep breath to ask.

"When I go back to the fourth brother, I have led troops abroad over the years. Although I have been defeated and fought repeatedly, I have some experience with the Ming Dynasty. Now the Ming Dynasty is almost at its peak. My Qing Dynasty's strength is no longer as strong as before after losing the Central Plains. Fortunately, the former emperor set the plan for the Western Regions, which made my Qing Dynasty temporarily have a place to stay after losing the Central Plains. But even so, compared to the strength of the Ming army, my Qing Dynasty is not able to resist the Ming army. I think the fourth brother knows it."

After saying this, Prince Cheng continued to say without waiting for Yongzheng's answer: "The Fourth Brother sent Ma Qi to the west before, in order to unite the Qing army to compete with the Ming army, and to express his agreement with the brothers. But the Fourth Brother also knew that since the death of the late emperor, the Qing Dynasty's central government has become unfair, and if you want to unify the flags, you have to show sincerity. The Fourth Brother is wise and powerful. Since he has agreed to the Eight Kings' affairs of politics, in my opinion, it is better to set this matter as soon as possible and let the kings discuss countermeasures. How about it?"

"Old Fourteen, you have experienced it. You are really impressed!" Yongzheng gritted his teeth and spit out a few words, his eyes swept away Prince Cheng like a knife.

"It was all the teachings of Emperor Ama back then, and my brother was ashamed."

He snorted coldly, and for a moment, the hall was quiet, neither Yongzheng nor Prince Cheng spoke.

Prince Cheng was not in a hurry. Anyway, he said everything he shouldn't say. Since he dared to come to Lanzhou, he had already been prepared. It depends on how Yongzheng decides now.

After a long time, Yongzheng said, "It is good for the Eight Kings to discuss politics, but now our Qing Dynasty is no longer the Jin Dynasty of the past. Once the Eight Kings to discuss politics, we will divide the central authority. You must know that the Qing Dynasty must be united in dealing with opponents like the Ming Dynasty."

"Don't worry, this fourth brother is the descendant of the ancestors and ancestors, let alone the fourth brother is still the emperor now. I think no matter who it is, he will put the overall situation first."

"Haha, the fourteenth brother said it well, so according to you, is it appropriate for these eight kings to discuss politics with those princes?"

Prince Cheng was not vague and immediately smiled and said, "Of course, this matter is based on the rules. The rules of the ancestors are all there. Fourth Brother, you shouldn't be unclear, right?"

This sentence made Yongzheng feel tighter. He originally planned to let Prince Cheng jump out and say that he was one of them, and then propose something to Prince Guo and others. But who would have thought that Prince Cheng, who had pretended to be saying why the eldest, third, and ninth and others were not here, did not mention a single word at this time, but instead used the rules of ancestors to evade him. This made the rebuke question Yongzheng had already planned and was immediately lost.

Prince Cheng directly pushed the candidate to Yongzheng, but it was definitely not a matter of giving up the requirement for the Eight Kings to discuss the candidates for political affairs. He did this clearly meant to retreat to advance.

Previously, through Ma Qi's message, Prince Guo and Prince Cheng had long expressed their attitude, that is, they must use the Eight Kings' request to discuss politics to limit Yongzheng's rights, while ensuring their status and security.

In order to achieve this goal, Prince Guo and Prince Cheng directly proposed to Yongzheng that the eldest, third, ninth, even sixteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth, etc. became members of the Eight Kings' political discussion, thereby weakening the imperial power in Yongzheng's hands.

But in fact, both Prince Guo and Prince Cheng knew in their hearts that Yongzheng would never agree to this plan. As an emperor, he would naturally not want others to decentralize power, not to mention that the purpose of the Eight Kings' political discussion was to divide the imperial power.

Moreover, the eldest, the third, the eldest, the Jiu and others were not the same as Yongzheng. The eldest and the second were fighting for the position of prince back then. Although the third brother was a scholar on the surface, he was full of bad water and also had a snooping view of the eldest prince.

Lao Jiu is a die-hard brother of Jianxing and an ally of Prince Guo and Prince Cheng. If they are allowed to participate in the Eight Kings' political discussion, it means that at least three of the Eight Kings are in opposition to Yongzheng. In addition, the eldest and third brothers who are not against Yongzheng, then the five princes are all Yongzheng's enemies.

As for Lao Sixteen, Lao Sixteen and others, these two are the youngest, Lao Sixteen is a little older, and Lao Sixteen is just a half-baby. These two people are almost just a decoration after being included in the list of the Eight Kings' political discussions. In addition, Yongzheng strongly suppressed the brothers after he took office, who can guarantee that these two younger brothers will stand on Yongzheng's side?

In this way, five of the Eight Kings were enemies, and two of them had unstable positions. In addition, Yongzheng himself could not be their opponents at all. How could Yongzheng, as the emperor, see such a result? This result was unacceptable to Yongzheng no matter what.

Prince Cheng is naturally very clear about this principle. He knew that Yongzheng would never agree to this plan, so when Yongzheng asked him directly, he followed suit.

Anyway, Prince Cheng had already made plans in his heart. No matter what decision Yongzheng made, he could refuse if it was not conducive to them. However, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Cheng could also make appropriate concessions. From this point of view, Prince Cheng had to admit his political judgment and means.
