The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 291
Daiyu stayed and talked for a while, then got up to leave.Kangxi rubbed his brows tiredly and picked up another brochure from the case, which was the brochure that Yinzhen just submitted yesterday to go to Jiangnan.

"Do you think I'm really old? I'm not sure what these young people are thinking?" Kangxi asked lightly.

"Your majesty has never been sure what fourth master was thinking from the beginning to the end, right?" Lin Ruhai turned out from the side hall and said calmly.Kangxi looked at him and said, "Where is Yu girl? She is your daughter, tell me what she is thinking? It takes time to help the fourth brother blindly. Now the fourth child is leaving Beijing at this time, and it seems that she is not For a short time. What do you think they are thinking?" In Kangxi's view, leaving the capital at this time is simply equivalent to withdrawing from the battle for the heir apparent.Although Kangxi didn't want his sons to fight for his seat, he didn't feel very comfortable when someone really didn't care so much.Lin Ruhai said: "Is it useful to stay in the capital? The second elder brother has never been to anywhere in his life. Where is he now? The eighth elder brother has never gone anywhere to run business in the capital, and the emperor suppressed him. Miserable?" Kangxi glared at Lin Ruhai angrily and said, "What do you mean?" Lin Ruhai said calmly, "Some people are born like this. If you are far away, you will be close, and if you are close, you will be jealous." The veins on Kangxi's forehead were throbbing, this is Are you saying that I am eye-catching or that I...

Lin Ruhai didn't sit down anymore, bowed his hands to Kangxi as a salute, and was about to turn around and go out. Finally, he just said: "If the emperor hasn't made up his mind yet, as far as I can see, Prince Yong will probably have to die if he doesn't force the palace to seize the throne. It's over." Anyway, Yinzhen's fate will only be worse if he fails to ascend to the throne, there is no way, too many people have been offended.

"Get out!" With a bang, the inkstone thrown by Kangxi hit the pillar in the hall, and there was no trace of Lin Ruhai at the door.

The matter of Prince Yong's invitation to go to the south of the Yangtze River to preside over the taxation reform has left many people confused, but they can only look at Prince Yong with his eldest son and his sixteenth elder brother, Yinlu seventeenth, in half-surprise and doubt. Ge Yinli and the Anbu people who had just returned from the west and had no time to rest left the capital.Yinxiang took the initiative to stay in the capital this time.What he said was that the tax reform took a long time, and although Master Lin was in the capital to take care of him, his status was still somewhat inconvenient.As the younger brother, I naturally have to help the fourth brother watch the situation in the capital and take care of the fourth sister-in-law and nephews and nieces by the way.

Regarding Yinzhen's departure, Yinhu and the others were both surprised and suspicious.No matter what they think, now there is no doubt that Yinzhen has become the biggest obstacle and opponent in their road to succession after the prince and elder brother.Now this opponent has retreated without a fight for no reason, which makes Yinhu and others still a little unbelievable.You know, this time it's not enough to go for a month or two, maybe you will have to stay in Jiangnan for a year or two or even longer.After being away from the capital for such a long time, I don't know what will happen to the capital when I come back.Yinyu guessed: "Brother, Jiangnan is our territory, so the fourth child probably wants to get his hands on that area of ​​Jiangnan?" Yinhu shook his head and said, "No, although Jiangnan is rich and prosperous, you must know the land in Sichuan and Shaanxi. Gan Jisheng is under Lin Ruhai's control, not much worse than us. If the fourth brother gave up the capital for the sake of Jiangnan, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"

Yinzhen sneered, and said disdainfully: "Could it be that he really wants to do that tax reform? It's just the favor of Huang Ama, who wants to deceive the public by sensationalism." Yinhu shook his head and didn't answer his words, although Yinzhen is his opponent, but Yinhu feels that he has understood this fourth brother a little over the years, and it is definitely not as bad as Yinzhen said.After a while, he smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid, the fourth brother just wants to handle this matter well." Yinzhen's phoenix eyes jumped, and he said with a smile: "Then mynah, what should we do? Shall we make him mess up first? Or Let him be busy in Jiangnan, and we will find something for him at the right time, so that he will be trapped in the Jiangnan area." Yinhu smiled wryly, looked up at Yinyu and said, "Ninth brother, you haven't understood it for so many years. Our fourth brother’s method? Let him stay in Jiangnan for a long time, I’m afraid that the place in Jiangnan will really be included in his pocket.” Yinzhen disdainfully said: “Him? Just his ice face can do it. Buying people's hearts won't work? Just look at the last time the prince was recommended, how many people chose him? Even the third son was more than him."

Yinhu shook his head and smiled wryly, and said: "It's not that fourth brother can win over people. I never thought of winning over those scumbags when I knew him. Look at the old thirteen, the little sixteen and the little seventeen, which one is not convinced by the fourth brother?" Oral obedience? Since I was still in my elder brother's house, how many people have we brothers inserted into the fourth brother's house over the years? .These brothers, including himself, whose house doesn't have a few nails planted by others?It happened that the old fourth mansion was dealt with like an iron bucket by him, "Brother, tell me, what should I do?"

Yinhu said: "What else can I do? Let's have a look first and then talk about it."

No matter how many people stir up trouble, there will always be Yinzhen's booklet reporting to Kangxi in detail about the progress of Jiangnan's affairs every once in a while.Every time, I just talked about the progress, some difficulties encountered, and possible improvement plans in a straightforward manner, without much complaint or complaint.Kangxi looked at the faint face, but he was very satisfied in his heart. Since Yinzhen has the ambition to reform the bad government, he must be able to endure hardships.If there is a little bit of trouble, complaining to yourself is better than ending it early.Look at Prince Yong's Mansion after Yinzhen left Beijing, Daiyu still calmly manages the operation of the entire palace and Anbu, carefully teaches the few children in front of her, and brings the children into the palace from time to time to accompany the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian.Kangxi was even more satisfied with this daughter-in-law.It's not that Kangxi doesn't know the relationship between Yinzhen and Daiyu, and sometimes he can't help worrying that Yinzhen has lost his ambition for Daiyu, or that Daiyu takes Yinzhen too seriously and can't take care of the overall situation. Now it seems that he is worrying in vain.As soon as Kangxi was happy, although Prince Yong was not in the capital, the favor of Prince Yong's mansion became more prosperous.The rewards from the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xian continued to flow into Prince Yong's mansion, and the Fujins were envious after seeing it.

By the beginning of summer in the following year, the new taxation system and the land and people's livelihood economy system had gradually taken shape in Jiangnan.The economy and commerce in the south of the Yangtze River are also gradually active. Some lower-level bannermen who voluntarily followed Prince Yong to the south last year have their own livelihoods in the south of the Yangtze River.Although it is just the beginning now, it is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, but as long as young people are willing to work hard, they can always see hope, which is much better than staying in the capital with nothing to do and receiving a share of money and food that can't eat and starve to death.Inspired by the people who came back, I heard that Prince Yong was going to let the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River do business with foreigners, and more young people voluntarily volunteered, although most of them were from poor families or unfavored bastards. , but still very good.Seeing that Yinzhen, Yinlu and others were the sons of Jiangnan officials, Kangxi was overjoyed and gave Prince Yong a double salary.The sixteenth son of the emperor Yinlu and the seventeenth son Yinli of the emperor were named Beizi.At the same time, Prince Yong was ordered to be the prime minister for the affairs of the two rivers and three provinces and the four provinces of Zhejiang Province.As a result, the original governor of Liangjiang became a decoration, and even the rights of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang were divided by Yinzhen.Yinhu and others, who had been paying attention to the situation in Jiangnan, suddenly turned black and couldn't tell the pain in their hearts.
