[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

It took Yinreng a lot of effort to sort out the pile of affairs that had accumulated after Khan Ama left.

At the same time, the former tutors who taught Yinfeng also showed their strength one by one. Before Kangxi left, Zhang Ying was arranged in the Ministry of Rites, Xiong Cilu was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Li Guangdi resigned because of his mother's illness. , After the return, he became the Minister of the Ministry of War.It seems that he has been demoted, but in fact there is a possibility of being reinstated again.

This is also the reason why Nalan Mingzhu and other ministers did not continue to suppress Li Guangdi. After all, they taught the prince. They are regarded as the prince's connections. , I hope he can train more people during the few months when he is not in the capital.

It has indeed been cultivated, not as the emperor imagined to win people's hearts, give a stick and then give a sweet date to subdue people, but don't care about 21 [-], as if he is a ruthless government affairs processor, pulling everyone to work overtime, overtime, work overtime……

The prince's eyes were accurate. Wang Lu had just moved to Beijing from the local government. He was sitting in the finance department before his butt was hot, so he invited Chen Tingjing to leave. It landed on Wang Lu's head.

Wang Lu, who had just been promoted to Beijing from a local area, was still a poor little guy who didn't understand the situation in the capital. He took over the important task of the finance department with a face of bewilderment.

Could the former governor of Fujian and Zhejiang who were promoted be ordinary people?Once the work attitude is serious, Chen Tingjing will praise him for his ability for the results.

As for Chen Tingjing, he was drawn to become Wang Xi's assistant and secretary to Wang Xi, so Yinreng's original calculation of one and a half big donkeys suddenly became two and a half.

Before Wu Zhengzhi retired, Chen Tingjing, the good seedling that Wang Xi had taken a fancy to with, came. Isn't Wang Xi taking it seriously?

Not long after, the reply letter between Kangxi and Yinreng also arrived. In the letter, the emperor praised Yinreng for maintaining the government affairs of the capital well, and asked Yinreng to send more food, grass and weapons to support the front line, and asked Li Guangdi to be promoted. For the new Ministry of War Han Shangshu.

Li Guangdi is Yinreng's prince and Taifu. Once he is promoted, doesn't it mean that the prince's power has greatly increased?

The war consumes food and grass the most, and the grain and grass stocks of the Qing Dynasty have been transported to the front line as much as possible, and the stock of weapons is gradually decreasing with the support.

Yinfeng submitted the matter to various ministries and institutes, and wrote a reply letter, reporting the handling of government affairs these days.I asked Kangxi again: All countries will send envoys to the Qing Dynasty to meet Khan Ama. The envoys from England predict that they will arrive on the coast of our country in about two months. The minister predicts that if the King of France hears about this, he will definitely send another envoy. The envoys came, but Portugal, the Netherlands and others were not to be outdone.

In addition, some courtiers filed impeachment petitions, saying: The envoys of the Kingdom of Korea did not evade the names of their sons and ministers when they wrote the letter, and they should be warned and severely punished. Thinking that this is not just about the son-in-law, but because the Joseon Dynasty disrespected the Qing crown prince and did not fear the prestige of our country, they asked the son-in-law to severely punish the North Korean envoy.I am afraid that this matter still needs to be decided by Khan Ama.

How could the prince be angry and order severe punishment because the subordinate country did not hide his name? Only the emperor can do this. Yinfeng will not be fooled if the obvious thing is a scam!

Yinfeng said to Kangxi: I know that many people in the court don't like me. If they really object, they can face to face with me and defeat me in major national affairs, instead of using such childish means. Erchen thought that his opponents in court were all elementary school students.

After the Tang and Song dynasties, "elementary school" was called calligraphy, reading and literacy, and the term "primary school student", referring to the "supervisor" of the Guozijian, probably meant children who were enlightened to read and write.

When Kangxi received the letter from the prince, he was all smiles and asked the prince how to deal with the government affairs in the capital. He heard that he had summoned all the officials from various ministries. From his work, it can be seen that the prince's ability to govern has matured, and there shouldn't be any troubles in the capital with him.

Then someone took the opportunity to spread rumors in the army: "Your Highness has all the important officials in the court under his command. If there is an accident in the emperor's expedition, won't the crown prince be able to inherit the throne smoothly?"

The rumors spread to Kangxi's ears, and the emperor punished them ruthlessly, so that those ghosts and monsters who only dared to dance in the dark and in the dark were suppressed and did not dare to show their heads.

It’s the rainy season in June, and the west of the Qing Dynasty has insufficient rain and a lot of drought. When June arrives, the rain that falls throughout the year is gathered together. This time, it may continue intermittently until August. .

The battle of the Western Expedition went smoothly. When the cavalry of the Junggar Khan tribe was in a stalemate with the Khalkha Mongols, reinforcements from the Qing Dynasty arrived. Galdan saw that he was defeated, so he retreated to the Western Regions to regroup. Eliminate the Junggar Khan and regain the Western Regions as the land of the Qing Dynasty.

Perhaps the more impatient he wanted to do something, the more he couldn't achieve his goal.Kangxi fell into such a vicious circle.

When it first arrived in the west, it was in a stalemate with the Junggar Khan and could not attack, so it was ready for a long-term battle.

From the initial diarrhea, to the alternating dryness and humidity, it developed into chills, low fever, and slowly fell ill.

The imperial doctor who followed was sweating profusely. The elder brother asked repeatedly, but the imperial doctor only said: The emperor has never been here before, maybe it is due to the acclimatization of the environment.

Kangxi was not an emperor who stayed in the capital all day long, he could afford hardships.Whether it is going north to beyond the Great Wall or going south to Jiangnan, it is rare to have such a huge response to acclimatization.

The war was temporarily delayed due to the emperor's illness. During his illness, Kangxi ordered the elder brother who wanted to stay by his side to appease the army and try to break through Galdan's defense line.

Several important ministers who followed were very anxious and implored the emperor to return to Beijing to recuperate.

Kangxi was still unwilling to let it go, and insisted on staying in the west with his unaccustomed sick body.

On the other hand, Yinfeng thinks his younger brothers are already at their ages!

As of the seventh elder brother Yinyou, Yin Zuo is four months older than him, and the fifth elder brother Yinqi is two months older than Yin Zuo. The three elder brothers are all ten years old this year, and eight-year-old Xiao Ba That's two full years.

Yinfeng discussed with the courtiers and sent his younger brothers to various ministries to "rotate and practice" with the ministers of each ministry.

The government affairs are already busy, but they still have to help the prince take care of the children. Of course, the servants of the various ministries are unwilling.

So the prince summoned the servants of all ministries, held a small meeting, and told them sincerely: the orphans are not here to ask everyone to provide for them as if they were ancestors, but to let them learn from you and be able to play a leading role.

Besides, if there is something you can't handle, can't you still pass it to Gu through the brothers?

The knowledge of the elder brothers has passed the assessment of the gentlemen in the study room, and there will be no difference. The difference is the experience of facing the court.

Yinfeng also took great pains for his younger brothers, and called the three younger elder brothers over.

Among the three elder brothers, Yin Qi is capable of both literary and military skills, and has a particularly good language talent. He has learned Manchurian, Mongolian and Chinese since he was a child, and went directly to Lifan Academy.

Yinzuo loves engineering only, so he went to the Ministry of Industry.

Yinyou is beyond people's expectations. Although he has undergone surgery due to his disability since he was a child, he is no different from a normal person now, but he is the best at martial arts.Maybe it was because of losing to the two elder brothers in front of him since he was a child, Yinyou was especially interested in honing his martial arts and learning the art of war, so he came from behind and surpassed Yinzuo and Yinqi.Seeing his art of war and strategic strategy, he can easily answer the questions with Li Guangdi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, so he knows that he has a lot of ink in his stomach.

After making arrangements for the three younger brothers, Yinreng, under Yinzhen's guidance, began to look for big golden donkeys to be his pickers.He devolved the government affairs that had been gathered in his hands to a state where he only needed to supervise and not to make his own decisions.

Yinzhen just nodded in his heart, and praised Yinreng: The prince has self-knowledge, knows how to avoid taking power, and avoiding power conflicts with Khan Ama, which is much better than in the previous life.

In a blink of an eye, Yinreng saw that more than half of the government affairs in his hands were missing, and he exhaled: "Finally, I have finally entrusted it to you. That's why I don't want to be a prince. Being a prince is so tiring, let alone being an emperor."

【…】

[Big friend, how did you say it? ! 】

Yinfeng is very strange: the fourth child already knows this.

Yinzhen knew this, and only thought he was talking nonsense, and had warned him not to say this before, otherwise the people around him would be severely punished by Khan Ama.

Now hearing this, Yin Mo felt something was wrong.

What do you mean, the prince really doesn't want to be a prince, does it mean that he doesn't want to be a prince? !

When Yinreng raised his head, he saw Yinzhen's secretive eyes, and said in fear, "What are you doing?"

Yinzhen took a deep breath: "I see that you are very active every time when you should do big things, but you only thought that your words were duplicity, and I didn't expect you to be serious."

Could it be that there is going to be another battle for the heir apparent in this life, and the reason for the fight between the court and the middle is because the prince himself doesn't want to do it anymore?

Yinfeng: "Gu hopes that the Qing Dynasty will become better, does it conflict with Gu not wanting to be a prince?" Gu's dream in the future is to go to the inspector's office to grab the job of the censor and supervise the brothers besides the stars and the sea to see the world. work.

Seeing his casual attitude, Yinzhen felt offended by saying that he didn't want to be emperor so easily.

"Brothers in the previous life fought for the throne to the death, is it a trouble in your eyes?!"

"But you are a living example of being forced to die in the court case."

Yinfeng thought about it for a while: "You are very serious about your work. Even if you are not willing to do it, you will still finish it seriously when the matter is in your hands. The fourth child must have been a diligent and capable emperor in the past."

Yinzhen said angrily: "Internal fighting damages the foundation, and you do it for the sake of it. No one in the country knows that the crown prince has been blessed by heaven since he was a child. The common people love you, and more than half of the courtiers recognize your ability. Even overseas Everyone knows that there is a beautiful jade prince in the Qing Dynasty. Among the brothers, you are also loved by other brothers. What does this mean? No one is more suitable than you to succeed the Datong. If you do this, unless you are Suddenly died in an accident, otherwise you have to do it even if you don't want to!"

Xiaomei covered her ears in pain, unwilling to accept Emperor Yongzheng's supreme praise for the prince.

"Look at what you're doing now? You're writing about the development plan after the Qing Dynasty conquered the Junggar Khan. Who would worry about such a thing except Jun?"

Yinfeng: "..."

He looked back at how many things he had done in the past six years, and then looked down at the planning document he had written with passion, and fell into a weird silence.

Yinzhen looked at him and asked him: "Now you are asked not to do these things, not to receive foreign envoys, can you do it? After being a prince for so many years, your style of conduct has been integrated into your bones and blood, and you will subconsciously worry about state affairs and think about the future, that's right. Bar?"

Yinfeng: "..."

Yin Yun: "Are you awake from the dream?"

When receiving the emperor's order, Yinreng was in a state of confusion, and this was the first time he was left speechless by the fourth question.

It happened that Kangxi ordered Yinreng to go to the palace to visit the sick. When Yinreng got nervous, he entrusted all the work in his hand.

The two prime ministers Wang Xi and Xu Yuanwen became temporarily entrusted successors, and the other elder brothers who stayed in the capital, from the third elder brother to the seventh elder brother, all became helpers to help the two prime ministers maintain the stability of the capital.

The most powerful thing about the emperor is that he has enough sons, the elder brother and the prince are not around, there are three elder brothers and four elder brothers, three elder brothers and four elder brothers are busy, and there are five or six seven. Everyone has their own specialties, and because of He is still young, eager to learn with an open mind, and there is absolutely no pointing fingers.

After handing over everything, Yinfeng set off to find Khan Ama. He felt that he needed time to calm down and think carefully about his previous life's wish and this life's goal of strengthening the country.

Kangxi was seriously ill, and had been avoiding people for a long time. None of the important officials in the court could visit him, only the imperial physicians gathered beside the emperor to serve him.

When Yinreng arrived, it was Suo'etu who came to greet him. Suo'etu secretly reminded Yinreng: "There are rumors in the army that if the emperor dies suddenly like the first emperor, you must be the successor of Datong. I'm afraid the recruiting will be entrusted to the funeral. Please be careful, Your Highness, and don't get caught up in the truth."

Yinfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he said: "I also ask the third grandfather to issue an order to call back the elder brother who is on the front line."
