Chapter 261 Dilemma
Nothing else to talk about.
Since Kangxi summoned Yu Zhong and others once, somehow, the excitement of the Southern Tour suddenly lost a lot. Although he still walked around and stopped and went off the dragon boat to play when he arrived in some good places, Gao Shiqi, Zhang Tingyu and others who were following him could still see that the emperor's interest was no longer as strong as that at the beginning of the Southern Tour. Even Ma Qi, who had always been a little slow, noticed it.
"What's wrong with the emperor?"
Gao Shiqi, Zhang Tingyu and others were close ministers of Kangxi and accompanied the emperor before the emperor. When the emperor had his worries, he should naturally relieve his worries as much as possible. However, Kangxi did not say that, they could only keep their questions in their hearts, but they only added a little more caution in their words and actions.
However, Kangxi is not the only one who is worried about it. The fourth prince Yinzhen, who returned from worshipping Mount Tai, has been bothering about some things recently.
After many thoughts, Nian Gengyao, who was far away in Taiwan, finally did not dare to hide the matter from him. He wrote a letter to him that the Fujian Navy was planning to attack Japan. At the same time, he also mentioned that the reason why the Fujian Navy had this plan was all because Yu Zhong encouraged him. At the end of the letter, Nian Gengyao asked him what to do.
what to do?
Yinzhen has been worried about this these days. Although he has been with the emperor for a few days, he can still feel how prosperous the saints of Yuzhong are. In his eyes, Kangxi had almost partial trust in the upcoming Sichuan admiral. Although Kangxi did not summon Yuzhong again in the few days after his return, from the words and words of everyone, he still felt that Kangxi's trust in Zhong might even be above the four ministers in Shangshu. This is simply an anomaly.
So, in this case, it is hard to say what consequences would be caused if he secretly forwarded the matter reported by Nian Gengyao to Kangxi! However, if things cannot develop in a good way, even if he has nothing to do, Nian Gengyao will definitely be severely suppressed by Zhong and Lan Li... He finally had such a little power, but he could never stand the trouble.
However, if he did not repay him, he was a little unwilling to accept it. Looking at what Yu Zhong people had done in history, since they killed Ge Li and saved almost the entire Western Expedition Army, Kangxi had trusted them and gradually entrusted important tasks. In addition, these people have always been self-respecting, and no matter who they are, there are few people who can shake their status. Now, it is rare that Yu Zhong has some trouble. If he can take this opportunity to suppress this person, he will definitely get huge support from the prince's party. Although from the letters of Wu Sidao and others, he is sure that Yinreng's position as the prince is probably not jailed, but the prince is the prince after all. As long as he is in power for one day, he will always have a legitimate advantage and will always have a large force support.
. Regardless of other things, if the prince and his gang could push Nian Gengyao back to the Manchu Navy, it would be enough to make him secretly happy. Yu Zhong is also the admiral of the Heilongjiang Customs and is often not in Haichuanwei. The old team of the Manchu Navy was almost trained by Nian Gengyao! Therefore, if you can easily master the Manchu Navy, looking at the entire court, there are only two people, Yu Zhong and his fourth prince Yinzhen. What does the Manchu Navy represent? Strength, wealth, and deterrence! If such an army is in hand, no matter who it is, he cannot be regarded as an irrelevant person. His status will inevitably rise greatly, which will be more conducive to his future plan. Even if he cannot grab the position of crown prince, he can still wait for a price and sell himself at a good price!
With the support of the prince's party, Yu Zhong and Lan Li may have severe suppression... Yinzhen felt a little embarrassed.
"Fourth Brother!"
Just when Yinzhen felt a little embarrassed, his cabin door was pushed open and a teenager walked in.
"Old Thirteen, what's wrong?" Looking at the Thirteenth brother who was pretending to be mature with his hands behind his back and walked in with Dada in a walk, Yinzhen had to temporarily put aside his gains and losses and asked instead.
"It's nothing. Fourth brother, why are you hiding in the cabin alone? Isn't you hiding something good? "The Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang turned his eyes and glanced at Yinzhen's cabin, raised his face and asked with a smile. (The real Yinxiang was born in the 25th year of Kangxi. He should be seventeen years old at this time. This book made him born a few years later)
"Where is any good thing? Even if there is one, you will take it away!" Yinzhen said angrily.
"Where is it? Fourth brother, you can't wrongly accuse me! I just got a "Diamond Sutra" from you. It's not a lonely book. Do you need to take it to heart? Besides, I'm using it to honor my mother. This is filial piety. Fourth brother, you can't say that I did something wrong, right?" Yinxiang said with a smile.
"I took more than a month to copy the Diamond Sutra. You don't ask me first, but you just left a sentence for the servants and snatched it away. How dare you say it?" Yinzhen glared at Yinxiang and scolded.
"Oh, Fourth Brother, you are the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, why do you still care about this?... Let's take you to watch the fun, isn't this okay?" Yinxiang laughed dryly, pulled Yinzhen and walked out of the cabin.
"What are you watching the fun? I'll tell you, you won't get off the boat without the permission of the Emperor Ahma!" Yinzhen thought Yinxiang wanted to pull him off the boat and go to the shore to play, so he hurriedly said. Kangxi was walking on the canal in the south. Although there were people escorting along the way, Yinxiang was too lively. If he was crazy, where would he find someone? His thirteenth brother is now one of the most favored princes in the palace. Not to mention his biological mother, what is the identity of the imperial concubine Dunmin? Even Concubine Hui, the eldest prince, and the eighth prince and his group attached great importance to this boy. If something happened to him, the consequences would not be expected by anyone.
"Just four brother, you are so careful, where are you thinking about? I'm not going to get off the boat!" Yinxiang rolled his eyes and smiled at Yinzhen: "Just Chenglong and the Governor of the River Affairs Office Chen Huang arrived just now. The Emperor Ama summoned the ministers, but he started arguing for no reason. The main cabin is now lively. I said, Fourth brother, I just saw that our brothers took you to see..."
"The main cabin has started arguing?" Yinzhen felt a little surprised. However, seeing Yinxiang showing a little anxious look, he immediately understood what the kid was thinking about. This guy obviously wanted to watch the fun, but was afraid of being scolded, so he pretended to be kind to come and take him with him. In that case, even if he was scolded, he would be all under his responsibility as his brother. This kid must have nothing to do. Thinking of this, Yinzhen suddenly felt a little disgusted with the thirteenth brother. What he annoyed the most was that others were playing tricks in front of him. Now that the thirteenth brother was so big, he started playing tricks. Wouldn't he be a dangerous master in the future? What's particularly terrible is that Yinxiang has a stronger potential than other princes.
"Fourth brother, aren't you? Why are you distracted again? I'm really convinced you! Let's go, there will be no good show if you don't leave!..." Yinxiang didn't expect that his fourth brother thought so much at this moment. After seeing Yinzhen heard the news he brought, he was not very interested, but became stunned and bored. He thought that if he went too late, there would be no fun to watch. In a hurry, he pulled Yinzhen out of the cabin. Yinzhen hesitated for a while and finally followed him out.
...
There was no one quarreling in the main cabin where Kangxi was. After all, quarreling in front of the emperor was a crime of "losing etiquette", so the parties involved just called their own behavior "argument".
It's just that they argued a little fiercely.
It's no wonder. If it were just Feiyanggu and Yuzhong, Shi Shibiao and the others would have forgotten it, but Kangxi summoned this time there were also people like Lan Li and Wan Zhengse, and Yu Chenglong who came with Chen Huang, once they fought, they would not be able to do so even if they didn't get intense.
What's more, they are also a very complicated topic, that is "war and peace".
Everything that provoked the topic was attributed to Yu Chenglong’s “provocation”!
Originally, in recent years, Yu Chenglong had the help of Anhui, a growing province, and saved a lot of effort. The two provinces helped each other and benefited each other, cooperated and had a harmonious relationship. However, this does not mean how intimate Yu Chenglong would show when he saw Yu Zhong. On the contrary, Yu Chenglong, who was familiar with the difficulties of the people in life, was almost opposed to any war, because the rules of the Qing Dynasty were to spread all the costs of war to the people. When Kangxi went to Galdan in the west, Yu Chenglong was still the governor of Jiangsu and was asked to collect millions of stones of military rations every year. Now he still felt sorry for the people of Jiangsu. Now Yu Zhong fights again
There was a fight, and it was unethical and was the kind of "if you want to add a crime, you have no words". Of course, he was unhappy. In his opinion, Yu Zhong was looking for trouble without any trouble. Although he made a lot of profits at the moment, it added an enemy country for no reason. If something happened in the future, it would inevitably lead to double the compensation for today's income. At that time, the unlucky people were not the ordinary people? Therefore, out of the sense of responsibility of "taking the world as one's own responsibility", Yu Chenglong thought of starting to impeach Yu Zhong on the way to come. Although Chen Huang knew, he knew that he had to stop him and was asking for punishment, so he simply thought he didn't know anything, because Jackie Chan himself made trouble.
However, although Yu Chenglong is powerful, he has found the wrong place to show his power this time. At this moment, it is not just Yu Zhong who is following Kangxi. Lan Li and Wan Zheng are much more warlike and more irritable than Yu Zhong. Especially Lan Li is still planning to learn Yu Zhong and run to the east to do something. Naturally, Yu Chenglong can't set the tone well, otherwise, wouldn't all his plans be wasted? He is old and has been jumping for a few years! If he can't fight this time, after a while, even if Kangxi doesn't let him retreat, he may not have the energy.
Therefore, when Yu Chenglong impeached Yu Zhong for "tyrannical and unkindness, and rash wars are not conducive to the country and harming the people", Lan Li couldn't help but ridicule a few words, saying that Yu Chenglong was "a woman's benevolence, and empty words of benevolence and righteousness are not enough to achieve great things."
With this as the beginning, the debate reached its climax from the beginning. Yu Chenglong singled out the generals, and the debate became more and more intense. The "quarrel" that Yinxiang just mentioned was this. However, fortunately, Kangxi was on the side, and Gao Shiqi and others were in the middle and mixed, and Yu Zhong, the directly attacked person, was also a little demeanor. Yu Chenglong and Lan Li and others gradually began to reason from tit-for-tat to reason. In this way, Yu Chenglong had the advantage. Lan Li and Wan Zhengse two big brothers were defeated after only a while. Among the generals, Shi Shibu still said nothing, and Fei Yanggu just smiled and watched coldly, leaving only Yu Zhong!
When Yinzhen and Yinxiang arrived, they happened to meet Yu Chenglong turning the muzzle to Yuzhong and fire.
"Zi Gong asked about politics, and the people said, 'Fine food, enough soldiers, the people believed it.' Zi Gong said, 'It must be left, why should the three of you go first?' said, 'Go away the army.' Zi Gong said, 'It must be left, why should the two of you go first?' said, 'Go away the army.' said, 'Go away the army. Since ancient times, all people have died, and people have no faith.'... The country needs three, and the people are the leader. Now, although the Qing Dynasty is peaceful and the people are safe, the people are not well-off. You are a master, but you are using wars to harm the people. In this way, there will be a possibility of forcing the people to 'get out' food' with military affairs, which is what a gentleman does not do!"
After saying that, Yu Chenglong stared at Yu Zhong without blinking.
"This... Lord Yu, I can only listen to what you said in sloppy. I think you should just speak vernacularly, otherwise I will have to sue you to disturb the audio-visual and deliberately bully people!" Although the people around you had been bombarded by Yu Chenglong, Yu Zhong did not feel nervous, but instead smiled and replied with a smile.
"Mr. Yu is saying that you are using rash weapons. This will cause the burden on the people and force them to 'go to eat'. If you do this, it may cause the country to turmoil!" Yu Zhong's teasing did not make Yu Chenglong laugh. The Henan Governor just explained his words again.
"It's not true, Lord Yu, you just said, 'The people have no faith, no one can stand. Lord Yu, you are a Jinshi and have a hundred times more knowledge than me. I must know what this "faith" means?" Yu Zhong asked back with a smile.
"Trust is honesty. If the court does not have integrity, the people will not believe it. In this way, authority will inevitably be unstable. This is the so-called "the country does not trust, the people will not regard it as a country." Although Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty was not very good, his words were still good: "If there is no faith, even if he is born, he cannot stand on his own. It is better to die than to lose his trust in the people. Therefore, the people would rather die than to die than to lose their trust in me... Therefore, those who rule should lead their people and defend them to the death, and not to abandon them in danger." Gao Shi added a sentence with a strange smile.
"Haha, Gao Xiang thought this 'faith' refers to 'integrity'. Does Master Yu think so too?" Yu Zhong glanced at Gao Shiqi and asked Yu Chenglong again.
"For thousands of years, since Confucius made this statement, 'faith' means 'integrity'. Does Master Yu still have any objections?" Yu Chenglong replied with a sneer. He just said that Yu Zhong's rash war might make the people "get out of food", but Yu Zhong mentioned the sentence "The people have no faith but no standing", avoiding that question, obviously he wanted to refute it with the "faith" that Confucius would rather "get out of food". However, he did not believe that Yu Zhong could find any article from this "faith".
"I dare not take the objection, I just have a little bit of a small opinion!" Yu Zhong smiled and looked at Yu Chenglong, then turned to Kangxi, and then continued: "I think that if the 'trust' proposed by Confucius is summarized by just a 'integrity', then everyone will look down on that saint too much!"
"Sir Yu, what do you mean?" Zhang Tingyu asked. Yu Zhong's hat was so big! If Confucius despises, if this is spread, even if he doesn't die, he will be skinned.
"Faith is what we think should be 'faith'! People do not have faith, but they should mean that the country should be the place where the people believe." Yu Zhong replied.
"Faith? As far as I know, these two words are often mentioned by those Western priests!" Gao Shiqi smiled again.
"Yes, Western priests often talk about the word "faith". However, this is not shallow!... We must admit that Westerners have done a good job in this regard. At least, they will force themselves or take the initiative to believe in something, so as to express their spirit." Yu Zhong said.
"Then, Lord Yu, why do you think of 'faith'? Are they those gods and so on?" Ma Qi asked.
"Of course it's not that simple!... Faith can be said to be a person's ideal lasting belief, or it can be said to be a person's instinctive pursuit. However, it is precisely because of instinct that it is difficult to find any basis for faith!"
"Sir Yu, I wonder what the belief you mentioned is related to what you said just now?" Yu Chenglong asked coldly.
"Natural connection. Lord Yu, don't you think that the reason why a country becomes a country is because the people need it and maintain it in order to form it? Therefore, if the country wants to maintain stability, it needs to let the people continue to support it. So, how can the people support the country?..." Yu Zhong asked.
"Food food!"
"This is not enough!... Lord Yu, the people are uneasy!"
"Confucius is willing to go to the army first before going to eat!"
"If I carry out military affairs, I can not only make the people proud of the country, but also open up territory and make profits for my descendants! This... is also for the people to "eat enough food" in the future!" Yu Zhong said.
"It's ridiculous. My Qing Dynasty is rich in resources, so why do you need to bully a small country?" Yu Chenglong said disdainfully.
"Haha, Lord Yu forgot? You rectified the river affairs two years ago and silted hundreds of thousands of hectares of land. How many people praised me? Why can't the arable land in Hokkaido be compared to your Lord Yu's contribution?" Yu Zhong retorted.
"What I do is for the people; if you use your war against you, it is contrary to benevolence and righteousness!"
"Mr. Yu, 'benevolence and righteousness' cannot fill your stomach." Yu Zhong laughed again.
"you……"
