Yinzhen: Become the favorite of the group in the Qing Dynasty where the brothers were reborn

During the trip to Hangzhou, many officials who had been occupying their positions for nothing had their official hats removed. When the news reached the capital, the image of the Crown Prince and the eldest prince became more severe and stern.

It was they who took the lead in confiscating property in Suzhou, and it was they who took the lead in arresting people in Hangzhou. If they were not a crown prince or the eldest son of the emperor, all the civil and military officials in the court would have to express their grievances openly.

But even so, many ministers who originally depended on the cliques of Soetu and Nalan Mingzhu turned their attention to other princes, such as the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince who were already twelve or thirteen years old and were about to grow up to serve in the court.

What the ministers don’t know is that these two are no less capable than the crown prince and the eldest prince. In fact, the real King of Hell is between them.

After the commotion in Hangzhou, the Southern Tour continued on its way. Wherever they passed, there was basically some turmoil, either an official was investigated or there was an assassination.

But this was not something to worry about for Kangxi or the four princes.

Those who came to assassinate them were usually captured before they could even touch the corners of their clothes. For this reason, Kangxi specially assigned some people to find their lair. He did not surround and suppress them, but instead used brainwashing.

It must be said that Kangxi's brainwashing tricks were very effective. Not to mention the White Lotus Sect, even the Tiandihui who were hiding in the dark and watching the show were almost fooled into thinking about taking over the territory across the sea, then establishing the Ming Dynasty, fighting back, and restoring the Ming Dynasty!

The leader of the White Lotus Sect carefully studied the feasibility of this matter and finally felt that it could be tried.

Looking at history, how many dynasties, after conquering a part of the territory, first established a country and proclaimed themselves king, and then continued to conquer the world and achieve great unification?

They are currently fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, but they have no chance to completely control a place as a base. Even if they plan to assassinate the emperor's family, unless they can wipe out the Aisin-Gioro clan, they will still be able to choose someone to ascend the throne.

Therefore, he thought that the decision was very feasible to first defeat the Japanese pirates, rebuild the Ming Dynasty, raise the flag of the Ming Dynasty, and then fight back to drive out those Manchus!

Not only can they kill the Japanese pirates, but they can also raise the banner of the army of justice. Even though they are far away overseas, they will not be easily encircled and suppressed by the Qing court and die before they can achieve their goal.

The leader of the White Lotus Sect was deeply moved.

Not to mention that he was a diehard anti-Qing and pro-Ming activist, he was also very excited about fighting against the Japanese pirates. After all, General Qi Jiguang's deeds in fighting against the Japanese pirates happened only more than a hundred years ago, and he remembered them clearly.

So, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, who thought more and more that he could give it a try, began to prepare. Not only did he prepare himself, he also tried to contact another force that was united in overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, the Tiandihui.

Chen, the chief leader of the Tiandihui, who had been indoctrinated by the leader of the White Lotus Sect, expressed mixed feelings about this.

Because he had to admit that what he said actually made sense.

But as a smart man, he knew clearly that this was most likely a trick played by the Qing emperor.

But ... ... emmm ... ...

Well, although he felt very complicated and didn't know what to say, he chose to join because of the feasibility of this matter and the deeds of Qi Jiguang in resisting the Japanese invaders as told by the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

But he did not set out with the entire sect like the White Lotus did. He only arranged for a few people from his sect to follow the White Lotus and prepare to go to sea. As for himself, he did not go with them.

What he meant was that someone had to stay here and keep a close eye on the Qing Dynasty, otherwise if they wanted to fight back in the future, they wouldn’t know the specific situation.

In short, half of the Tiandihui stayed in the Qing Dynasty, while the other half, led by the left and right protectors, sharpened their knives together with the White Lotus Sect to attack the Japanese pirates.

Thanks to the policy of opening up the sea after the 23rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, they were able to go out to sea extremely smoothly. It was truly a smooth and safe journey.

There were even people watching them and sending them their sincere blessings, hoping that they would be successful.

Forbidden City, Palace of Heavenly Purity

It is now December of the 29th year of the Kangxi reign. After starting his southern tour in April, he traveled for half a year and finally returned to the capital at the end of November.

During this short period of six months, the imperial court experienced several upheavals, all of which were caused by the emperor who was away from home.

But the result was also very good, just like the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River at that time, which was clear and bright.

The people in the south of the Yangtze River praised the river courses that were being repaired and the lowered rice and salt prices. Those knowledgeable people also came to the capital in droves, hoping to pass the imperial examinations so that they could serve the court and serve the people.

The world is so big that there is never a shortage of talents. It's just that many capable people are unwilling to enter officialdom for some reasons. Some people think that the officialdom is dark, or that the court doesn't care about the people... Anyway, no matter what the reason is, they saw the situation in Jiangnan and were willing to give it a try, so Kangxi had a lot more coolies.

He sent the White Lotus Sect and part of the Tiandihui, which were against the Qing Dynasty and aimed at restoring the Ming Dynasty, out of the Qing Dynasty. He didn't need to keep a close eye on the remaining forces. In this way, he had more time and energy to develop the Qing Dynasty.

Looking at the draft of the Qing Daily in his hand, Kangxi lowered his eyes in deep thought. After a moment, he decided to do as he had thought before and send his third and fourth sons to the court to do work.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that these two guys look small, but they are both resurrected people. We can make great use of their labor force.

Kangxi couldn't help but think again, if he wasn't afraid of being said to be crazy, he would have wanted to send the remaining resurrected sons to the court to do work.

It was too difficult for him to be able to drive the coolies in front of him.

The sighing Emperor Kangxi soon issued an edict to formally establish the Da Qing Bao, with the third prince Yinzhi taking charge of the power, while the fourth prince Yinzhen immediately went to the Ministry of Revenue to do his job.

When this decree was issued, both the former court and the harem were shaken.

Cheng Qiangong

All the concubines in the palace gathered here with the Queen. They came to investigate Wang who was brought back by the Emperor.

During his southern tour, the emperor did not bring any concubines with him, but when he came back, he brought back a woman from outside. Although she was the daughter of a county magistrate, she was already in her twenties and was conferred a noble lady as soon as she entered the palace. Doesn't this explain something?

"In my opinion, the emperor's old house is on fire and he needs to talk about his feelings."

Concubine Yi, who was the most outspoken, spoke a stinging remark as soon as she opened her mouth. The imperial concubine in front of her wanted to cover her mouth: "How dare you say anything?!"

After glaring at Concubine Yi with a look of regret, the Imperial Concubine looked at the Queen and said softly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi didn't mean to say anything nonsense. She was just a little curious about that Concubine Wang."

Queen Tong Jia didn't care about Concubine Yi's sour words. Anyway, she didn't care whether the emperor's cousin had feelings for Wang. So when faced with the words of the imperial concubine and Concubine Yi, she just smiled and let it go.

"Since you have entered the palace, you are all the emperor's women. When you see Wang, don't bully her."
