Chapter 4 The first appearance
After being ordered to recuperate at home for more than ten days, Yinzhen's health had basically recovered. On this day, Yinsi, Yinzhen and Yinyi came to visit again. Yinzhen hurriedly welcomed him out after the news. During this period, he thought a lot. Although Kangxi hated forming a clique the most, it was impossible for him to withdraw from the "Eighth Master Party". First, his foundation is too shallow, and many things in the future need to be echoed. Second, it cannot give people the impression that Yinzhen is a fence-bearing. The officialdom has its own rules, and the result of fence-bearing is that he is not pleased on all sides.
What's more important is Kangxi. Kangxi will never like a swaying prince. This is a taboo for ministers and a taboo for kings. [The latest updates are all in search.]
Since he decided to be in the "Eighth Master Party", Yinzhen planned to show his strength and take the second place first. Once the Eighth Master Yinsi failed, he would naturally become the leader of the "Eighth Master Party".
The eighth and the other three were sent into the study and exchanged some greetings, and the four of them chatted about everything from all over the world. When they talked about Shi Lang's second son Shi Buquan (Shi Shilun), Yinzhen took the opportunity to take Nian Gengyao out. Nian Gengyao was the capable general of Yinzhen's fight for the throne, and they always swayed between the eighth prince party and the fourth son Yinzhen. If he could completely pull him over now, it would be a good game.
"Brother, Nian Gengyao, what do you think?"
"Nian Gengyao?" Yinsi was slightly stunned and chuckled, "This kid is a big alien in the Qing Dynasty. From forty-four years to now, in just four years, he has been promoted from a seventh-rank Hanlin Academy to a second-rank Minister of Rites and a cabinet scholar. He has been promoted to a fifth-rank tenth level in a row. His saints are beyond imagination. His father was old and served as the governor of Hubei for twelve years. His family is wealthy. In short, this man is skilled in words, works in mom and is good at practice, and is a rare talent."
Yinzhen asked straight to the point: "Since my brother is so appreciated, why don't he put this person in his name?"
He glanced at Yinzhen in surprise. Yinsi pondered for a moment before saying unquestionably: "Impossible. Although Nian Gengyao's original wife was Mingzhu's granddaughter, and his second wife was the second daughter of Su Yan, the Duke of Fuguo. He had a close relationship with your starling, ninth and tenth brothers, the Zuoreng, who belonged to the Nian family, was assigned to the fourth brother's name in 42 years. Nian Gengyao is now the fourth brother's slave, and the fourth brother is extremely grateful to their family and takes Nian Gengyao's sister as his concubine."
Damn, so that's how it is. No wonder Nian Gengyao left a swaying impression on people. Yinzhen was very disappointed. Yinzhen was really lucky. He even had a rare talent when he was granted a title.
Yinzhen couldn't help asking: "Fourth brother, you rarely pay attention to ministers on weekdays. Although Nian Gengyao climbed quickly this time, he is now just a minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the cabinet. Although he is a second-rank, he has to be an important position. Why does the Fourteenth brother value him so much?"
Yinzhen smiled bitterly in his heart. He couldn't tell them that Nian Gengyao would become the right-hand man of the fourth brother Yinzhen in the future. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Nian Gengyao is highly appreciated by the Emperor Ama. There is news that he will be released from the governor of Sichuan soon. Sichuan, the country of Tianfu, and the northwest of the northwest, his position will be extremely prominent and it will only be sooner or later."
After a few words, Yinsi and the other two were shocked for a long time and could not react. After a while, Yin Yu stared at Yinzhen strangely and said, "Fourth brother, what you said is too mysterious."
Yinzhen asked with disbelief: "Old Si Si, where did you hear the news? Nian Gengyao wants to release the governor of Sichuan?"
Seeing Yinzhen pondering silently, Yinsi asked in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, you just said that if there is war in the northwest, is this a reason for the inference or is there any news?"
"Infer!" Yinzhen said without hesitation: "The wolf in the Junggar tribe is ambitious. Although Galdan died, Cewang Alabutan is a wild wolf that cannot be raised. Once he recovers his vitality, he will inevitably cause trouble to the northwest again. There will be a great war in the northwest within ten years."
"Ten years, have you considered too far?" Yinzhen said quietly.
"Not far." Yinsi stared at Yinzhen fiercely and said in a deep voice: "If people have no long-term plans, they will have immediate worries. The Emperor Ama is in full swing. Not to mention ten years, even fifteen years are not far away. Everything is planned, and if it is not planned, it will be abandoned, let alone us..." Yinsi changed his mind as he said, "Fourth brother, is the news about Nian Gengyao accurate?"
Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "Absolutely reliable."
After leaving the palace, Yinzhen squeezed into the sedan chair of the eighth brother Yinsi. As soon as he sat down, he said, "Big Brother, the fourteenth brother is not simple. We have not seen it over the years. Today, we are just showing our strength."
"It's not just not simple." Yinsi sighed, "He has a deep scheming and a far-reaching vision. I see, no one among the brothers can compare with him."
“Brother…”
Yinsi waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "I really didn't expect that he actually set up a secret next to the emperor Ama. I haven't seen it all these years. What's strange is why he mentioned Nian Gengyao alone today, why? Could it be that he reminded us to beware of the fourth brother?"
"The fourth brother? He is just Yinreng's dog. What should I do when he is prevented?" Yinzhen said without any concern.
Yinsi shook his head disapprovingly and fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Yinzhen smiled and said, "Brother, what are you thinking about? The Fourteenth brother needs to play a hoarse fan with us?"
"That's not." Yinsi frowned and said, "I'm afraid that Shisi himself hasn't figured out some things. This is what I want to think about."
Yinzhen muttered, "What's the matter? The fourth brother and the second brother are one. Since Nian Gengyao is the fourth brother's slave, he is naturally the second brother's person."
"It's not that simple." Yinsi shook his head slowly and said, "Let's take a step first, and see if Nian Gengyao can govern Sichuan?"
In the western warm room of Qianqing Palace, Kangxi was reviewing memorials, and the surroundings were quiet.
Suddenly, a low question came from outside the door, "Does Emperor Ahma feel good today?
Kangxi listened carefully. It was Lao Sisi's voice. He should be asking the little eunuch who was serving the marquis outside the door, so he said to Li Dequan, "Call him in, he is sneaky."
After Yinzhen asked for peace, Kangxi raised his head and said, "What's the matter? I'll just say it when I'm in a good mood?"
"The emperor, Ama, candlelight, I can't escape the holy clerk if I have any thoughts." Yinzhen said another Qian'er.
Kangxi smiled and said, "No gifts, please tell me if you have anything to do, don't give me clever words."
Yinzhen smiled and said, "That's right. I have read some miscellaneous books recently. I have some immature ideas. Please correct me."
Kangxi was well-educated in Chinese and Western learning and was well-read. After hearing this, he became interested and asked casually: "What books have you read?"
"Hui Huang Ama is Xu Guangqi's "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs", Jia Sixi's "Qi Min Yaoshu", Wang Zhen's "About Sects and Sects" Wang Xiangjin's "Quanfang Tu" and Song Yingxing's "Natural Works of Heaven"."
