Chapter 342 Plan ahead
The [-]-word long chapter asks for monthly ticket support!

-

Generally speaking, Yongjun Wang Yinzhen is a very boring person, not good at women; he doesn't like to go to the theater; he is not addicted to alcohol; he is not too greedy for money, at least on the surface; Good at communication, if you have hobbies, besides power, you can play Go. As far as playing chess is concerned, it is quite a bit of the inheritance of Mr. Kangxi. If you lose, you will not change your infatuation.Ever since he lost his household mission in August 44th year of Kangxi, Yinzhen has been studying behind closed doors, no longer going to court or interacting with courtiers, even with his brothers. , just read books and play chess when you have nothing to do, and you can live a happy and carefree life, but the pain in your heart can only be tasted slowly by yourself.

At the end of October, the capital is already quite chilly. Although furs and other heavy equipment are not needed yet, sweaters and the like are indispensable. Yinzhen, who is dressed in moon-white silk and satin and covered with a silver fox fur vest, frowned and pinched his hands. Holding a white piece, his eyes stared back and forth on the chessboard for a long time, but he still couldn’t make a move. After a while, he had to put the piece back into the box with a wry smile, stretched out his hand to push the chessboard away, and said with a self-deprecating smile: Lost, Mr. Tang played this chess very well, I have never won it once, hehe, I also worked hard on this game when I was young, but I always failed to get the point, which made my husband laugh, alas Well, speaking of it, among my brothers is the sixth brother who is good at chess, it's strange to say, I've never seen the sixth brother playing chess here, and no one can beat him, I really admire him."

What Yinzhen was talking about was chess, but actually he was talking about the political situation. This was hidden from Monk Wen Jue and others who were watching the battle, but it couldn't be hidden from the clever Tang Guoming. Tang Guoming couldn't come up with a good way to comfort the frustrated Yinzhen, so he could only smile and say: "My lord, chess players have a small way, but life is like chess, with unpredictable changes. It is important to move first, but it is not the way to win chess." Absolute guarantee, if there is a mistake, the first move becomes the second move, and the chess situation may turn sharply, and no one dares to easily claim victory until the final game is settled."

"Well, that's the case, it's just..." Yinzhen shook his head with a wry smile, got up a little annoyed, stopped talking, and walked silently in the back garden, all the confidants knew how his lord was feeling It got worse again, and no one dared to go forward to persuade him any more, they could only wait for Yinzhen to calm down by himself.Just when everyone was embarrassed, Gao Fuer, the chief steward of the palace, tiptoed into the garden, peeked at Yinzhen who was pacing silently, opened his mouth to speak, but didn't have the courage to step forward to disturb him, so he could only sit cross-legged while smiling. Tang Guoming, who was on the stone chair, said, "Sir, Master Liu is here, just outside, look..."

Tang Guoming frowned quickly, pressed the feather fan in his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, got up by himself, hurried a few steps, walked in front of Yinzhen, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the sixth lord is here!" Yes, it's outside."

"Huh?" Yinzhen raised his head from deep thought, and looked at Tang Guoming suspiciously. Although he didn't speak, his eyes were full of inquiry.Tang Guoming didn't answer, but just shook his head, expressing that he didn't know Yinzuo's reason for coming.

"Hmm." Yinzhen thought for a while and said, "Let's just say that the king is ill, and when the king recovers, I will pay a return visit."

"It may not be without reason. The sixth master must have something to do here. The prince may as well see it, but he can not say what he promised." Tang Guoming's words meant to explore Yin Zuo's tone before making a decision. , Yinzhen pondered for a while, nodded his head and said: "This king knows, hey, this king, the sixth younger brother, has always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and this time it is probably the weasel giving the chicken New Year's greetings again, let Gao Fuer grow up Open the middle door, and the king will change his clothes and go out to meet you."

Yin Zuo's upper body was covered with a light blue silk coat, a lavender mink coat, light blue trousers, black riding boots, and a closed folding fan in his hand. He listened to the flattering words of Gao Fu'er and other servants of the palace with a smile, but never said a word.These days, Yin Zuo is actually suffering a lot in his heart, not for anything else, just thinking about how to explain to Wang Xifeng that his elder brother may have suffered is a headache, let alone there are so many government affairs waiting for him Worry, fortunately, there are a lot of talents under his command, but in just two or three days, Li Ke's transfer order came out, and today he managed to get a lot of government affairs done in a hurry. Only then did I have time to go to Lao Si's house for a walk.

To be honest, Yin Zuo doesn't like Lao Si very much, he always feels that Lao Si is a very boring person, and he has no common language. If there is anything in common, besides the same desire for power, there is only one thing left They were all born by the same mother, and other than that, the two brothers are basically two-way people.Yin Zuo didn't want to come to see the fourth brother, but he had to. It's not impossible to say that it's not impossible to bypass the fourth brother and intervene in the affairs of the grain road, but it will take a long time, at least it is impossible to get the news of the defeat. Get it done before it comes out, and once the news of the defeat spreads, Yin Zuo thinks about the matter of rectifying food and Taoism, and the fourth level gets stuck first, so Yin Zuo has no choice but to bite the bullet and come if he doesn't want to come anymore. It's just that Yinzuo himself is not sure whether he can use the bargaining chips in his hands to settle the fourth brother. After all, the fourth child has been fooled by Yinzuo many times, and he has learned to behave well. It may not be sure that he will be fooled again, but he just doesn't try How do you know if it will work?
"Sixth brother is here." Yinzhen, who strode out of the gate to meet Yinzuo, immediately squeezed out a smile on his stern face, nodded, and said with a smile: "Sixth brother, you are a busy man. Are you not on duty today? Why are you here to fool around with your brother when you have time?"

Damn, the fourth son, he's always holding guns and sticks when we meet, hey, we don't care, you just can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour.Yin Zuo said with a smile: "It's nothing serious. I don't have much government affairs today, and I have to go back to my free time. I'm lazy. Haha, it's still easy for the fourth brother. I haven't seen the fourth brother for so many days. I miss it. Hehe , the fourth brother is white and fat, and the younger brother is very envious." Yinzuo sarcastically returned, which means that you don't have to be busy if you want to be busy, fourth brother, you can only hide at home to grow fat .

Although Yinzuo said this with a smile, the thorn in the words pierced Yinzhen's death point fiercely. The smile on Yinzhen's face that was originally squeezed out suddenly froze, and his voice slightly With a hoarse haha, he said: "Sixth brother likes to tell jokes, hey, fourth brother is just a food to eat and die, since sixth brother is here, just sit inside."

"Success, it's been a long time since I've come to taste the new tea of ​​the fourth brother. I've had enough to drink today, so I have to pretend to take some away, haha..." As soon as Yinzuo's voice fell, the two brothers looked at each other and laughed , as if they had heard some funny joke, the servants standing aside couldn't figure it out, so they could only laugh along with them silly, and the atmosphere became more harmonious for a while.

"Sixth brother, open the skylight and speak frankly. I'm afraid that the sixth brother will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing today. If you have anything to do, just talk about it. Brother can help as much as possible." Yinzhen knew that Yinzuo was going around He is very skilled, and he doesn't want to compete with Yin Zuo on this. After the people have finished making tea, they will simply explain everything clearly.

Hey, Cheng, just say it straight, we don't bother to go around in circles with you, there are still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with later.Yinzuo was not too polite, he laughed and said: "Shuangkuai, the fourth brother has always been a straightforward person, and the younger brother admires it very much. Well, it's not a big deal. Ha, sixth brother, you also know that the younger brother took some. A worthless slave is willing to work, and can work hard, but it is useless. I can't help my younger brother, and I have to help my younger brother, the master, to make a living. Hey, look at this matter, oh, my younger brother. There is a servant named Li Wei, hey, this kid doesn’t know many big characters, but he does things well, it’s a pity, my younger brother also values ​​this person very much, thinking about promoting, promoting, but there is no reason It’s not easy to be promoted, no, it’s not good if you are accused of cronyism by ginseng, so I wanted to discuss it with the fourth brother, haha.”

There are a lot of slaves under my brother's sect. It is actually a very difficult thing to figure out who they are, but Yinzhen knows who Li Wei is. It's nothing else, only Li Wei now But he is a well-known actor in Sichuan official circles. He has a thorny head. The joke about Li Wei has even been heard by Mr. Kangxi. .At this moment, Yin Zuo suddenly heard Li Wei mentioned, and Yin Zhen couldn't help being a little confused. He didn't understand how Li Wei's future had something to do with him. After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure it out, so he simply asked. He came out and said, "Oh, it's Li Gou'er, I've heard of this guy before, why, what kind of demon moth did he make?"

heard about it?Ha, this Li Gouer was supposed to belong to you, but he was robbed by us, so beautiful!Very cool!Yinzuo was happy in his heart, but he said with a look of distress on his face: "fourth brother, alas, Li Gou'er has nothing to say about his work, but the problem is that he can't do anything without qualifications. Now that there is a war in Tibet, my brother, I thought about giving this kid some credit so that he can be promoted in the future, but this kid can handle political affairs well, hey, let him manage the huge Chengdu government well He looks a bit good, but he won't be able to do it in war, I think, or put him on the grain road, maybe he can get some qualifications, it just so happens that the grain road in northern Sichuan is supplying the army in front, the younger brother thinks about it, so I have to be cheeky Come to ask fourth brother for help, haha."

The food road is a place with a lot of oil and water, especially when supplying the army. If you pass by casually, you can get a million dollars and eight thousand without showing the mountain dew. If someone else says this, Yinzhen will definitely Suspected that the man was planning to make money from the war, and made a lot of money, but Yinzuo’s family’s wealth has long been beyond count, not to mention 1 taels of silver, even 100 million or 1000 million yuan is not necessarily in front of Yinzuo If you can buy Yinzuo, there must be something strange here!Yinzhen meditated silently, but did not speak.

It's been a long time since Yinzuo has played tricks with his elder brothers, but this skill has not become unfamiliar because of this. Naturally, he knows when to speak and when to shut up. At this moment, Yinzuo's bid has already After submitting the offer, I will wait for Yinzhen to counter-offer. There is no need to say anything more. If Yinzhen didn't want to help, he would have already refused. After thinking about it, he must have his own plan. Just wait, Zuo Zuo is so tired and flustered these days, take this opportunity to rest, drinking tea can be regarded as relaxing, isn't it?
"Sixth Brother, I'm afraid Fourth Brother won't be able to help you with this task. Hey, Fourth Brother doesn't have a job right now. I'm afraid it won't be useful to say anything." Yin Zhen sighed after being silent for a long time.

oh?It's not good to help, it's not impossible to help, hey, the word difference, the meaning is far worse, well, let's let you bid.Yinzuo smiled and said: "What did the fourth brother say, hey, the fourth brother is still very prestigious in the household department now, haha, the fourth brother is too modest."

"Prestige?" Yinzhen shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Fourth brother doesn't have any prestige. The servant in front of the fourth brother's family, oh, is called Nian Gengyao. I asked the fourth brother to help me mobilize it. The result is, Alas, don’t mention it.”

old cake?Hey, this is the bid of the fourth child, grandma's, the fourth child wants to transfer the old cakes back to Gyeonggi?Heh, that kid is a murderer. Although we are not afraid of him, there is no need to make ourselves uncomfortable, right?Well, it's absolutely impossible to go back to the vicinity of Gyeonggi. It's okay to transfer to another place and give him a high position.Yin Zuo rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "fourth brother, you are out of touch now, haven't you, you have never heard of this matter, haha, isn't it just a transfer? What's the problem, eh , There was a vacancy in the general of Guangzhou, and the first fourteenth brother asked the younger brother if he wanted to recommend someone, so I just let the young man fill it in."

Nian Gengyao is now a guerrilla general of the fourth rank. If he fills in the vacancy of the general in Guangzhou, he will immediately become a senior member of the second rank. This official has been promoted fast enough, and Yinzuo's generosity naturally makes Yinzhen doubtful. Daqi looked at Yinzuo with twinkling eyes but didn't speak.

Xiaobian, I knew you would be suspicious, we have been waiting for you.Yinzuo laughed secretly in his stomach, but his face showed an embarrassed look: "Fourth brother, hey, there is one more thing, I have to ask fourth brother to help me reach out."

"Oh?" When Yinzhen heard that Yinzuo had something to ask of himself, the doubts in his heart became lighter, and he smiled and said: "You old six, you don't finish your words at once, and you don't hesitate to speak. Say Well, what else is there?"

"Hehe, the fourth brother taught me a lesson. My younger brother has a slave called Zhou Yongcheng. Well, he is on the same side as Li Wei, but this Zhou Yongcheng is a scholar. Originally, my younger brother planned to let him go to the imperial examination to gain fame. Then I thought about it, well, why bother? It’s not that there is no way for us to be masters. Why let our slaves occupy the quota of scholars in the world? Anyway, it’s all missing, and it’s not bad anywhere, but it’s not bad to let him follow the gangsters. It just so happened that Ding You was vacant at the North Shaanxi Road Station, so I thought about asking him to make up for it. It is said that the younger brother is also the minister of the study. , as long as you approve a note, it’s just that, gossips will go away, hey, this matter doesn’t bother the second master, so let the fourth brother write a note, and the younger brother signs it, and this matter will be done That's it, isn't it?"

Yinzuo babbled about a big deal, but the meaning was expressed very clearly. Yinzuo is bound to win these two Taoist platforms. If your fourth brother refuses to help, at worst, let's force the text down. Yes, it's just that the reputation and face are not good.What Yinzuo said is true. Of course, the prerequisite is that Yinzhen does not come forward to sabotage, otherwise, these two Taoist platforms may not necessarily fall into Yinzuo's hands. , Turned around, but Yin Zuo secretly kicked him, and he kicked him to Yunnan.

Yinzuo's words are really not true. Yinzhen knows it well, but Yinzhen doesn't know if there is any mystery in it. According to Yinzhen's understanding, the battle ahead is going well. The two slaves under Zuo's family can't get much money if they go to be those two Daoist platforms. Of course, they can still succeed with military merit. In addition, the old fourteen is in charge of the Ministry of War. This military merit is a certainty. As for the others For the time being, I don't see any great benefits, but General Guangzhou is an extremely affordable job. Let Nian Gengyao take the position. In the future, if he is promoted to a higher level, he will be the admiral of a province. It is worth much more.This deal can be done!Yinzhen gritted his teeth secretly in his heart, smiled and said: "Well, what the sixth brother said is reasonable, left and right is just a matter of formalities, so the fourth brother should bear the burden of infamy once."

Haha, it's done!Yinzuo was very proud of himself, but his face was very calm, he took out a statement from his sleeve with a smile and handed it to Yinzhen.Yinzhen took it over, looked at it carefully, saw nothing suspicious, asked the servants to send pens and inks, and signed it, but he didn't pass it to Yinzuo immediately, but pretended to be in deep thought, his eyes dead Staring at Yinzuo.

Okay, demo, isn't it just waiting for us to issue a transfer letter?Yin Zuo laughed, and took out an official document from his sleeve again. It was stamped with the big seal of the Ministry of War. It was a blank order from General Guangzhou, but the seal of Mr. Kangxi was still missing, which showed that the Ministry of War had already agreed to Guangzhou. The vacancy of the general was recommended by Yinzhen, but the final procedure had to be reported to Mr. Kangxi for approval through the study room.Yinzuo is a very thief, and now the study room and the Ministry of War are all in his own hands. If he wants to spoil Yinzhen's affairs, he only needs to do something. Of course, Yinzhen is not a fool. The transfer letter just glanced at it, smiled, filled in Nian Gengyao's name, and then stuffed it back to Yinzuo, and even handed it along with the bill. The reason for this is actually very simple to put it bluntly. The household department is in charge. As long as Yinzuo doesn't fulfill his promise, those two platforms can become Taoist platforms, but it's hard to say where the Taoist platforms are.

Heh, the fourth brother has made progress, well, let's not talk nonsense with him, let's get out of the way.Yin Zuo laughed and put away the two official documents together, and said with a smile: "Fourth Brother, I've had enough tea today, so I'm leaving."

"Oh, sixth brother, it's getting late, why don't we go after lunch at fourth brother's place?" The fourth brother pretended to stay.

Well, fourth child, the dishes in your house are hard to swallow, looking at your stinky face, no matter how good our appetite is, we will be defeated.Yinzuo smiled and said: "No, my brother ordered the family to prepare a meal this morning. The younger brothers and sisters are still waiting at home. The younger brother will take a step first, and the fourth brother will stay." Standing up, looking outside the door, Yinzhen sent Yinzuo to the gate of the mansion with a smile on his face, the smile on his face disappeared immediately when he turned around, and hurriedly turned back to the back garden, detailing the conversation with Yinzuo I explained it to my confidants in detail, a group of people pondered for a long time, it was past lunch time, and I had no idea, even Tang Guoming, a wise man, couldn't figure out Yinzuo's intentions where.

"My lord, the sixth lord has never done useless things. It is inevitable that there is something wrong here, but now I really have no way of judging. As far as this transaction is concerned, although it seems that the lord is not at a disadvantage on the surface, but someone who dares to I'm sure Liu Ye must have taken advantage of it." Tang Guoming said with certainty.

"Well, if, well, if it's my king..." In front of his subordinates, Yinzhen didn't have the nerve to say what would happen if he repented, but Tang Guoming couldn't hide his thoughts.

"My lord, it's too late. Since the lord signed, the sixth master will definitely be able to complete this matter. The sixth master is not a person who is easy to discuss." Tang Guoming said with a wry smile.

"Alas." Yin Zhen sighed and stopped talking, just looked at the clouds in the sky silently, no one knew what he was thinking...

Yinzuo left Yongjun Prince's Mansion and did not go back home. He had to rush to get everything done before the news of the defeat spread. As soon as he got on the sedan chair, he sent an order to go straight to Changchun Garden
