Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 96
To fight is not to fight, and not to fight is to fight. This is a mouthful to say, but it is even more difficult to do. It is a tightrope walker.What is fighting, of course, is to fight for the big position. If you do something that violates this rule, you are doing useless work; what is not to fight, that is, don't reveal your ambition to fight for the big position, at least not let Mr. Kangxi notice to your ambition.

Without credit, in the eyes of Mr. Kangxi, he is a useless talent, and there is no possibility of being in the top position at all.In this day and age, there are not enough people under your command, and you can't even try to do anything, so you won't get any credit, at least you won't get much credit.But the problem came out: if you have more people under your command and more power, then you will violate the bottom line of Mr. Kangxi. Once this is the case, what is waiting for you is definitely a large board. It's just that powerful ministers who are too powerful often have no end, unless you have the ability to kill the emperor and rise to power yourself.

Grandpa Kangxi is a powerful emperor, and he will never allow any figures or forces in the court to threaten him, not even his own son. Be careful and you will lose everything.Yinzuo didn't think about fighting at first, but what he showed was that he didn't want to fight, and he didn't form cliques among the courtiers. Even if he wanted to fight now, he still couldn't form cliques among the courtiers. But fighting requires merit and ability , then you must do well whatever the old man entrusts to you, so as to make the old man look different.

There are two things that fall on Yinzuo's head at the moment: one is the settlement of debts, including the three major tasks of river engineering, water transportation, and Liangjiang. Halfway through, the remaining prefectures and counties that have survived the flood cannot complete the task of repaying their debts anyway. The only thing they can do is to ask for local tax reduction and exemption, and help these prefectures and counties to tide over the difficulties first.In terms of the character of Mr. Kangxi, there is no risk of the tax reduction and exemption voucher being rejected.The matter of paying off the debts can be regarded as completed in general, and if you add the note that the fire consumption will be returned to the public, the matter of paying off the debts will be considered a full score.

The second thing is the rectification of river engineering and water transportation.This matter is related to the sea transport booklet. Using sea transport instead of water transport can not only save a lot of river work and water transport costs, but also generate a lot of fertile land by the way.The plan is beautiful, but there are many obstacles to implement it. This requires building momentum, and it is necessary to win over and divide the gang of elder brothers and important officials in the court; , relying on the bargaining chips in his hands to attack one fortress after another, which is why Yin Zuo wants to cheat Lao Si. Although it is a conspiracy, it is still more of a conspiracy:
The fourth child took over the task of clearing the debts. Regardless of whether Yinzuo got off the hook or not, he had to do this offending thing. Even if he started to clear the debts from the local government, he still had to face the challenge from the eldest brother and the clan in the end. It's just a matter of time.The game Yin Zuo set up is actually a conspiracy. He made clear the situation for you to learn, not only for you to learn, but also to tell you how to do it. Of course, the only thing that is not explained is how to face the counterattack of those elder brothers.The purpose of Yinzuo's doing this is to disrupt the situation in a short period of time, so that he can catch up when he returns to Beijing. If there is no chaos, there will be no possibility of taking advantage of the chaos.

Yinzuo had already told Liu Chang'e to pay attention to the dynamics of the court, especially the reactions of his elder brothers. The farce on the last night of Kangxi's 35th year took place in only three days, and Yinzuo received the accurate news sent by Feige. No, immediately summon Guo Xiu and Lin Xuanyi to start discussing this matter.

"Sir, what do you think of this matter? Is it time to follow the plan?" Yinzuo handed over the information sent to Lin Xuanyi.

Lin Xuanyi read the small note in his hand, thought for a while and said: "The heat is not enough, we need to add more heat."

"Add fire?" Yin Zuo was slightly taken aback.

"That's right, you can hand over the copy of the fire consumption to the public first, and heat up the fire." Lin Xuanyi calmly analyzed: "In the current situation, the Holy Majesty will definitely pay [-] boards each to pay off the debts." Things will stop because of this, and the ministers of the DPRK and China will also adjust. Although the situation will be chaotic for a while, it will soon stabilize. When we return to the capital, it is estimated that the situation in the DPRK will be calm, which is not conducive to us A plan to gain momentum in the midst of chaos. If this report of returning the fire to the public is accepted, there will inevitably be a big wave in the court, and the chaos will last at least until the moment we return to the capital."

"That's right, the book was submitted by the king. Whether those court officials are against or in favor, they have to wait until the king returns to the capital to know the truth. Good! Master Guo immediately sent this message six hundred miles away. Fold." Yin Zuo said with a smile.

In this era, the transmission of documents relies on post stations. Generally, there is a post station every 20 miles. Once the official document to be delivered is marked with the words "delivery immediately", it must be delivered at a speed of 300 miles per day according to the regulations.In case of an emergency, the transmission speed can reach 400 miles, 600 miles, and the fastest 800 miles per day.When delivering urgent documents, each post station uses a fast horse, so that although it is not a thousand-mile horse, every horse can run as fast as it can, and it can also make a thousand miles in a day.

Of course Yin Zuo hoped that the copy of Huowuguigong in his hand could arrive at the capital as soon as possible, at least at the time of the first morning court on the eighth day of the first lunar month in the 36th year of Kangxi. To send it, it can only be expedited by six hundred miles at most, but it can be sent to the capital one day before the opening of the dynasty, which is enough.

The Spring Festival is over, but spring has not really arrived yet. There was a heavy snowfall in the capital last night, and it was very cold. The most suitable weather for this kind of weather is to lie in a warm bed and sleep late. It would be even more beautiful to have a beautiful lady upstairs warming the bed.However, in the capital, only ordinary people with ordinary hair can enjoy such beautiful things, but court officials do not have this blessing. To discuss matters.

The other elder brothers and courtiers started at the third watch even if they went to court, but the fourth elder brother Yinzhen set off at the third watch, for no other reason, but because his house was outside the city, so he had to.Today is the first dynasty in the 36th year of Kangxi. Although it has been eight days since the turmoil on New Year's Eve, Yinzhen is still in a bad mood, but there is no reason to be late or not to go. , Freshened up carefully, used some porridge hastily, and set off in the sedan chair.

Not far from the gate of the city, he heard a commotion among the guards in front of him, and Yinzhen, who was already depressed, became even more angry at this moment, ordered the sedan chair to stop, and asked angrily, "What's the noise? "

Yinzhen is cold and harsh, and is extremely strict with his subordinates, who cannot tolerate mistakes, but if there is a small mistake, there is absolutely no reason to forgive it, and the gang of servants and guards under his command will often punish him for trivial matters.Everyone knows that their master has been very angry recently, and they all restrained themselves very much. They were afraid that they would offend the master by accident, and would be given the top spot and be whipped. Now when they heard Yinzhen's slightly angry voice, they immediately fell silent. After a while, Gao Fuer, the head housekeeper, came to his senses first, leaned against the sedan chair, and said in a calm voice: "Master, there is a wounded man with a broken leg in front of him, blocking the way, and the servants will carry him away immediately." .”

"The wounded?" Yinzhen pondered for a moment and said, "What kind of wounded?"

"Responding to Master, he looks like a scholar who came to Beijing to rush for an exam." Gao Fu'er had seen the wounded man lying in the middle of the road before his head, so he answered quickly at the moment.

Yinzhen has believed in Buddhism since he was a child, and he is full of compassion. Of course, it is mainly verbal skills, but his hands are cruel. However, he has occasionally helped some poor people, and he has gained a good reputation. .At this moment, I heard that it was an injured scholar, and felt compassionate for a moment, and ordered: "Come here, send the injured back to the mansion first, and take good care of him. I will ask after the king comes down."

This is a small matter, so naturally the gang of servants under him are busy with it, and Yinzhen ordered people to pick up the sedan chair and go straight to the palace.In the final analysis, Yinzhen acted as if he had saved a chick or duckling, he didn't take this matter to heart at all, don't ask if you turn around, I'm afraid there will be no accidents, three or five He won't remember this matter for a year, not to mention that this morning is too important to Yinzhen, whether it is a blessing or a disaster can be seen immediately, so why would he put his mind on that injured scholar of unknown origin.

Yinzhen arrived early, and the palace is still very deserted at the moment, except for a few middle-level officials like Zhang Jing and Shangshuxing who are on duty in the palace, there is no sign of other elder brothers and important officials.Yinzhen has a lot of things on his mind these days, and he didn't have a good rest at all. Today he got up earlier again, and now he is a little sleepy. He greeted those Zhang Jing and sat in the court room by himself. Sitting on a chair by the corner, she dozed with her head tilted, and did not wake up until the eunuchs shouted "Going to court" from the palace. ...
