lied to Kangxi

Chapter 451 Killing Six Birds With One Stone

Both the eighth and the fourteenth want Nianshi.

Kangxi naturally understood that what the two sons valued was not Nian's beauty, but the political potential of Nian Gengyao, Governor of Sichuan.

Sichuan is located in the southwest.In addition to the rich products, the only advantage of the governor of Sichuan is that he is very close to the snowy area.

Once the Junggar people extend their claws to the snowy area, the Qing Dynasty will definitely go to war.

Moreover, there are only two routes for dispatching troops, one is from Xining and the other is from Sichuan.

Kangxi has been planning these two routes for a long time.

Entering the snowy region from Xining, the terrain is relatively flat. The fly in the ointment is that unless the cattle and sheep of the Qinghai and Shuote tribes are robbed, it is very difficult for the army to supply.

Marching from Yazhou in Sichuan, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, rugged and difficult.The advantage is that, with the back of the land of abundance, even if more than [-] people are recruited, the food supply can keep up.

In layman's terms, sending troops to the snowy region from Sichuan is not afraid of wasting food.

However, sending troops from Sichuan is also troublesome.

After leaving Yazhou Prefecture in the west, Dajianlu Hall (Kangding), Yachukasi (Yajiang), Litangsi, and Batangsi along the way are all chieftains of Jimi. The mountains are extremely dangerous, and the situation in Fanbu is complicated.

To put it bluntly, both the eighth and the fourteenth want military power!
"Old Ba, what do you think?" Old Fourteen jumped out suddenly and caught Kangxi by surprise. Naturally, the old emperor couldn't let Lao Ba who had been very jealous.

Lao Ba was called by his name abruptly, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and leave the table, kneeling in the middle.

"Huihan Ama, I think that since the old fourteen really likes it, why not point it out to him." The old eight rolled his eyes, and he probably won't get the Nian Shi, so he might as well take advantage of the old fourteen and forget it. .

Anyway, the meat is always rotten in the pot. Instead of taking advantage of the other princes, it's better to just let the old fourteen do it.

Anyway, the old fourteen can be regarded as a member of the Eighth Master's Party.

Yu Zhu rubbed his chin, thinking, Lao Ba's reaction is so sensitive, he is also a proper tactician.

Thinking about it, Lao Ba doesn't have a strong matriarchal influence, how can he not have a few hard brushes if he is purely self-made?

Before Prince An's Mansion and Lao Jiu were completely close, Lao Ba played a key role in being able to win over a large number of meritorious Manchurian soldiers, who were like a spring breeze.

It's a pity that Lao Ba has read thousands of volumes, but he didn't understand the mystery of the inheritance of the throne, and he was completely defeated in strategy.

Tactically, even if Lao Ba wins [-] times, it is useless.

Once Kangxi has this bad impression of being a party member, coveting a big position, and trying to misbehave, the more successful Lao Ba is in tactics, the more thoroughly he will lose in strategy.

The eighth boy retreated, and Nianshi was about to take advantage of the fourteenth, what would the fourth do?

Yuzhu is really curious!
Just when Yuzhu was full of anticipation, Old Sixteen suddenly covered his stomach, rolled on the ground in pain, and shouted: "My stomach hurts, isn't the food poisonous?"

Is it possible that the palace banquet and imperial food are poisonous?

Good guy, this news is too horrifying, it completely attracted Kangxi's attention.

"Come on, hurry up, pass on to the imperial physician, quickly pass on to the imperial physician." Kangxi hurriedly ordered.

Although, Kangxi usually treats the old sixteen very ordinary.

However, the old sixteenth is the elder brother of the eighteenth after all, and the old emperor loves Wu and his house, so it is inevitable that he is very anxious.

After Old Sixteen's disturbance, no matter how stupid Old Fourteen was, he would not dare to chase after Kangxi for Nian Shi.

One of the main reasons why Prince Yinreng was deposed was that he had no brotherhood. This lesson was extremely profound, and the old fourteen knew it well.

After the imperial physician's frantic diagnosis and treatment, Old Sixteen's abdominal pain was judged to be caused by exogenous evils invading the internal organs after eating too much cold food, causing severe gastrointestinal discomfort.

After hearing this reason, Yuzhu couldn't help but secretly nodded, what a powerful fourth child!
In this round, Yu Zhu quietly calculated six people.Among them, Concubine De, Old Eighth and Old Fourteenth fell into the pit smoothly.

In addition, the Nian clan was publicly fought over by the two princes. Even if Nian Gengyao did nothing, it was obviously impossible for Kangxi to trust him as before.

What's more, Yuzhu's scheme successfully aroused Kangxi's suspicion. Whether Nian Gengyao may be the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu in the future must be a big question mark!
Of the six people, five of them fell for Yuzhu's trick.

Only the fourth child, in such a short period of time, was able to use the genius of the sixteenth child to pretend to be ill, and escaped the huge crisis of publicly exposing his ambition to seize the throne.

As for matters in the court, if things are slow, they will be resolved. If it drags on, there is always a way to solve it in a roundabout way.

However, Yuzhu is not completely without gains.

At least, the brotherhood between the fourteenth and the fourth will enter a new level from now on.

Moreover, with the wisdom of the fourth child, how could he not have guessed that it was the fourteenth brother who was really supported by his own mother, Concubine De!
Very well, mother and son trust each other, brothers kill each other, the gradual formation of this situation has given Yuzhu a lot of gaps to exploit.

Just when Yuzhu was somewhat proud, Kangxi suddenly called his name.

"Yu Zhu, tell me, who should Nian Shi refer to?" Kangxi asked such a question in public, and Yu Zhu couldn't help crying secretly.

Nima, Kang Mazi is too bad, this is to completely force Yuzhu into Chunchen's dead end, and he can no longer turn around.

The truth is actually obvious, no matter who Yuzhu supports to point out Nian's name, he will offend the eighth, fourteenth and fourth at the same time.

Moreover, if Yuzhu suggested to point out the Nian family name to any prince, if the old emperor didn't suspect him, then he would be called hell.

Colluding secretly with the prince elder brother, is that okay?
The military power held by Yu Zhu will be completely lost in a blink of an eye.

"Returning to the emperor, the slave is a foreign minister, and dare not inquire about the affairs of the inner court." Yuzhu ignored the vegetable soup and rice grains scattered all over the floor, and knelt down, fell down, and refused to raise his head again.

"Huh, I told you to tell me, you just say it, don't pretend to be stupid." Kangxi obviously failed to achieve his goal and refused to give up. He had to push the jade pillar into the group of pure ministers.

In fact, Yuzhu had already thought of a countermeasure.It's just that some words can't be said until the fire is hot enough.

If the heat is not enough, it's not as simple as saying it for nothing, and it will even make you burn yourself.

"Going back to the emperor, with the foolishness of a slave, it's better to simply put down the sign and allow him to return home and marry himself." Yuzhu was forced by Kang Mazi, so he simply made a very bad move.

Well, after putting down the signboard, the matter of Nian's marriage must be decided by Nian Yaling.

In today's strict etiquette, the marriage of children has always been the order of the parents. How can there be a private decision for life with the words of a matchmaker?
Nian Yaling is a real sensible person who has read history thoroughly.He has never advocated that members of the Nian family should be involved in the struggle for the throne.

Yuzhu didn't care about offending the eighth, the fourteenth, or even the concubine De.

The problem is, Yuzhu doesn't want to have a public showdown with the fourth child too early.

The fourth child is in the light, and the jade pillar is in the dark. There is room for tossing and moving, and the space is extremely huge.

After putting down Nian's brand, Nian Xialing refused to allow her daughter to enter the fourth son's palace as a concubine, so it has nothing to do with Yuzhu.

To die as a fellow Taoist, never to die as a poor Taoist, is the golden rule in the officialdom to protect the handsome man!

Nian Yaling has a terrible headache, what about Guan Yuzhu?
In the court, one must be proficient in all kinds of light and dark rules to deceive people.

For example, after Nian's name was put down, the fourth child could only take her as a concubine, and could not be the side Fujin who was on the jade certificate.

The daughter of the dignified former governor of Huguang and the younger sister of the current governor of Sichuan, actually became Prince Yong's concubine. Isn't this a self-inflicted humiliation?

Even if it was, Nian Yaling pinched his nose and recognized it because the fourth child was the owner of the three white banners.

(Note: The three banners of Xiangbai refer to the three banners of the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han armies under the Banner of Xiangbai. The fourth one is in charge of the affairs of the three banners and is the banner owner.)
Hehe, Nian Gengyao is a senior official of the frontier who was born as a Jinshi, and he is not stupid. The brother of the concubine is not a serious relative of the fourth child at all.

However, the fourth child couldn't complain about Yuzhu's bad move.

Because, the commander of the infantry, who commanded the military power in the capital, actually suggested to the old emperor to give the fourth child a chance to win over Nian Gengyao.

Hey, Yuzhu, this is not a suggestion, but a foolish act of actively giving away the head.

The tiger also dozed off, how did Kangxi know that Nian Xialing and Nian Gengyao had sharply opposed positions between father and son?

Not to mention Kangxi, even the fourth child, until now, did not know that Nian Xialing treated him with a close but distant attitude.

Historically, even after the Nian family became the side Fujin of the fourth child, Nian Xialing still led the entire Nian family and chose neutrality instead of completely falling for the fourth child.

Yuzhu's proposal was very ingenious, it seemed to offend both the eighth and the fourteenth.

Perhaps Kangxi felt more at ease, so he let go of Yuzhu and said flatly, "Go back to Qianqing Palace with escort."

"Hey." After Yuzhu got up, the court clothes were covered with oil, rice grains, vegetable juice and other filth, making it impossible to see anyone.

Kangxi saw a grain of rice sticking to Yuzhu's chin, and he looked stupid without knowing it. He couldn't help laughing, and scolded: "Forget it, look at your dirty look? Why don't you go down and wash it again? In court clothes?"

"Hey." Yuzhu deliberately soiled the court clothes, just to get away.

However, the plan did not change quickly, and Kangxi forced him to a showdown before the dirty court clothes were used.

Today's matter, the old sixteen obviously had a cold stomach, but said that the food was poisonous.

Kangxi is not stupid, I'm afraid he has written it down in the little black book for him.

It's just that the old sixteenth is a matter of the fourth master's party, which has been hidden very deeply, and Kangxi doesn't know about it for the time being.

In the final analysis, the fourth child was too cunning, and the sixteenth child was willing to stand up for the fourth child.

When the jade pillar was soaked in the tub and washed and stripped clean, I figured out one thing: after the fourth son ascended the throne, he gave the sixteenth a huge advantage, allowing the sixteenth to inherit the Heshuo The title of Prince Zhuang.

This obviously has the nature of reward!

Seeing the micro-knowledge, push it back, in Kangxi's later years, the old sixteen must be a hard-core backbone member of the Fourth Master Party!

However, when Yuzhu finished grooming and went to see Kangxi, Kangxi suddenly said: "I'm thinking, why don't you reward Nian Shi?"

"Ah..." Yu Zhu was so frightened that he was stunned.
