Yin? When he was a prince, he knew how to hide his strength and bide his time.
He Qi, who maintained the surface with his brothers,
At the same time, he secretly had close contact with many ministers in the court. He treated Kangxi with utmost filial piety.
No matter how much acting was involved, he succeeded.
All of his hard work had paid off.
He became the emperor, the monarch above millions of people in the Qing dynasty, and he held supreme power.
In terms of history, Yin Yinyin was the first to be mentioned. Other than Kangxi, there were very few capable emperors in the Qing dynasty. Without him, there would not be the prosperity of the Qianlong dynasty.
It could be said that he had handed over all the good country under his rule to his son. Unfortunately, after Hongli ascended the throne, he was unable to help his father continue to protect the world. In the later period, this prodigal emperor had greatly depleted the Qing dynasty.
Only then did the subsequent generations get worse and worse until that era of humiliation.
From the perspective of the emperor, Siyang also acknowledged Yin? He could be considered a qualified emperor, but he was not a good husband and father.
Therefore, for her own interests,
She and Yin? Were destined to be on the opposite side.
Of course,
There was no need to show this to him for the time being.
Now, Yin? The one he was most afraid of was Nian Yaoyao.
He had already put down the power in his hands and returned the full military power. This threat could be considered removed. Yin? The ascension of the throne also had an indelible contribution from Nian Yaoyao. Under all kinds of relationships, no matter how much he cared about it in the past, it would be removed.
After all, he had just ascended the throne. Nian Yaoyao had given up his power, and the most powerful person in the Nian family had stepped down. The official positions held by the remaining people did not matter. Yin? If he continued to be relentless and ruthless, he would become a topic of ridicule. Therefore, he would only reward. Moreover, don't forget that in the imperial harem, Siyang had given birth to two elder brothers, and they were still in Yin? Under the circumstances of not having many children.
The women in the imperial harem were very happy when they first learned that Nian Yaoyao had resigned. They thought that this time, Siyang had no one to rely on and could not continue to be high-profile. But later on, Yin? He rewarded the Nian family. It seemed that even if the Nian family did not have real power, they still had the Emperor's heart. In addition to the sixth elder brother and seventh elder brother, they were the ones who had their tails between their legs.
"This servant heard that Imperial Concubine Xi is pleading the Emperor to find a divine doctor among the commoners to treat Fourth Elder Brother's injury."
Ever since the first month of confinement, Siyang's favorite thing was to hold Fu Hui and read to him. Although he was still illiterate at this age, the books she found were all fables and stories about famous people. There was no harm in listening to them. Little Fu Pei was placed on the bed and crawled around. There were palace maids at the side watching over him to make sure he didn't bump into anything.
After hearing Xiang Lan's words, Siyang stopped talking and laughed. There was no emotion in her laughter, but her next words were more sarcastic: "Imperial Concubine Xi is also a kind mother. However, Fourth Elder Brother's legs have been amputated. Even if you find a godly doctor, what can he do? Can he regrow Fourth Elder Brother's legs?"
Xiang Lan also covered her mouth and smiled. Then, she frowned and said, "Master is right. It's just that His Majesty really cares about Fourth Elder Brother. He really did agree to Imperial Concubine Xi's request and sent someone over. I don't know what kind of divine doctor he will find."
Yin? Agreed.
Siyang paused and shook her head: "His Majesty also takes pity on Imperial Concubine Xi. After all, she only has Fourth Elder Brother as her lifeline."
Xiang Lan looked down and didn't say anything. She silently explained to her master in her heart. Although Imperial Concubine Xi wasn't very old, she only had Fourth Elder Brother as her only child for so many years. If Fourth Elder Brother was crippled, it was equivalent to destroying all her efforts. Even if she wanted to have another child, she didn't know if she could have the heart or the life to do so.
On the day Siyang gave birth, almost all the women in the Imperial Harem came out. It could be seen that she was an eyesore to many people. All the evidence on the midwife's side pointed to Imperial Concubine Yu. She was now demoted, which was equivalent to being banished to the Cold Palace. Her son was placed in the care of the Empress. However, because of Hongli's injury, Hongzhou was abandoned. If the Empress had any thoughts, she wouldn't dare to make waves for the time being.
She learned from Empress Dowager Wuya that the real mastermind behind the midwife was Concubine Li. Although Hongshi was also affected because of Hongli, it was far from enough.
Alright, Si Yang thought about it carefully. Yin? Yin? These three slightly older sons were either crippled or abandoned. She wouldn't do anything in this area for the time being to avoid making too much noise and attracting attention.
Actually, what Siyang wanted to know the most was, what about Yin? Was he involved in this?
She had a feeling that Yin? Even if he didn't do anything, there was some indifference. Ulanara didn't do anything at that time, but it was very suspicious. She didn't think that this Empress was really wholeheartedly kind just because she ate vegetarian and prayed all day. After Eldest Elder Brother died, the Empress didn't have any children for many years. At this age, it was definitely impossible for her to have another child. If she wanted to secure her position as Empress in the future, it was a very good choice to raise a son by her side when she couldn't have children.
She didn't know if the Empress was involved in using Imperial Concubine Yu as a scapegoat.
One by one, they were really troublesome.
After pondering for a moment, Siyang said, "Recently, the people in the Imperial Harem have settled down. Imperial Concubine Xi and Concubine Qi are both worried about their sons. Let's wait and see for now."
"Yes." Xiang Lan nodded lightly.
The current situation was very beneficial to Siyang. She just needed to wait slowly.
In the tenth month of the first year of Yongzheng, the leader of the right wing of the Qinghai Mongol Heshuot Tribe, Luo Bozang Danjin, started a rebellion. The news that came said that the situation was very bad. The soldiers stationed at the Tibetan border requested the imperial court to quell the rebellion.
Yin? After knowing all this, he was furious in the imperial court. He immediately ordered the famous general Yue Fei's twenty-first grandson, Yue Zhongqi, and Fuyuan Great General Yan Xin to quell the rebellion.
However, the army went for two months and came back with the news of defeat. Luo Bozang Danjin led the army to launch a sneak attack when Yue Zhongqi and Yan Xin had just arrived at Xining. The two armies immediately exchanged swords and spears. In the chaos of war, in order to protect Yan Xin, Yue Zhongqi was shot by Luo Bozang Danjin and was seriously injured. Yan Xin could only retreat in a hurry in panic.
When the news of the failure of the expedition reached the Forbidden City, it made Yin even more furious. However, as long as the rebellion was not peaceful, he would not be at ease. Then, he sent a few generals to Xining to help Yan Xin and Yue Zhongqi.
When the reinforcements arrived, because Yan Xin had to worry about Yue Zhongqi's injury and was forced to retreat to Xining City by Luo Bozang Danjin.
The delay along the way allowed the Qinghai rebel army commander Luo Bozang Danjin and Zunger tribe leader Ce Wang Rabutan to work together to resist the Qing army. For a moment, the war was very tense.
The news from the frontlines was not good.
Yue Zhongqi saved his life, but he was seriously injured and could not lead troops to fight. He sent people to bring him back. At the same time, Yan Xin also came back.
Yan Xin, a member of the Plain Yellow Banner, the great-grandson of Qing Taizong Huang Taiji, a member of the Aisin Gioro royal family. They were of the same generation. The only difference was that they were from different branches.
Although Yan Xin was once Yin? He was given the title of Fuyuan General and was sent to take over the military seal of the 14th Master Yin Zhen. However, Yin did not trust him. Otherwise, why would he let Nian Yaoyao take over the other half of the military power? The reason was because Yan Xin and Yin Zhen's relationship was really good.
This time, they lost the battle and Yue Zhongqi was injured to save Yan Xin. Yin? When they returned, they directly dealt with Yan Xin and removed him from his position. However, as he was from the Aisin Gioro family, Yin? He was ordered to stay at home and reflect on his mistakes. At the same time, his descendants were demoted to red belts.
After Siyang learned about the news from the court, he thought about it for a while before secretly writing a letter and asking someone to bring it out of the palace.
The situation at the frontlines was tense. If Luo Buzang Danjin and Ce Wang Alabutan worked together for a long time, they would be a huge threat to the Qing Dynasty. After all, ever since the Qing army entered the pass, every emperor tried their best to appease the Mongol tribes. They did not hesitate to let the Qing Dynasty's Ge Ge marry far away. If this went on for a long time, it would not be good for the Mongol people who were peaceful on the surface but restless on the inside.
However, there was not much progress in the war. Apart from losing the initiative at the beginning, this situation was also related to the generals who led the troops to fight.
If Si Yang hadn't come, Nian Zhenyao would have been the one leading the troops in this battle. Now that Nian Zhenyao had resigned and Yue Zhongqi was seriously injured and recuperating, there weren't many generals that could be brought out at the moment.
Even if there were, there were many places in the huge country that needed to be guarded. They could not only care about the rebellion here but also guard against the Mongol tribes.
However, just as they were at their wits' end, someone suggested that Gushan Beizi, Fourteenth Master Yin Zhen, lead troops to the frontlines to quell the rebellion.
On this point, some people said that Fourteenth Master had once led troops to Tibet and quelled the rebellion caused by the leader of Zhungari, Ce Wang Rabtan. Although the rebellion was not completely wiped out, they all believed that if Fourteenth Master, who had battle experience, was sent there, the war would be quickly quelled and the imperial court and the people would be at ease.
The moment these words were brought up, Yin Zhen was enraged. He was furious.
The fight for the throne with his brothers was extremely tough. It was not easy for him to win. His brothers all relied on him to survive. In order to consolidate the throne, he had to do all sorts of things to his brothers.
Even though Yin Zhen was his brother from the same mother, he did not plan to let him go. Now, not only did they want him to let Yin Zhen go, but they also wanted him to go to the frontlines. Wasn't this letting the tiger return to the mountain? He absolutely could not agree.
Not only was this matter rejected, but the minister who suggested it was also angrily scolded.
"All of them, I have raised them for nothing. What a bunch of people."
Yin Zhen? After the morning court session, he angrily rushed to Yi Kun Palace.
He had been very diligent in coming here these few days.
His two sons were in Yi Kun Palace. The older one was smart and quick-witted, while the younger one was silly. He looked at the two of them. Yin? He only felt that the anger in his chest had subsided a little.
"Your Majesty is troubled by the war in Qinghai." Siyang brought a cup of tea over so that Yin Zhangkong could take a seat. Calm down.
He took the tea. Yin? He did not care about anything else. After drinking it in one gulp, there was still a trace of anger on his face.
"Usually, they argue over small matters and quarrel endlessly. When it comes to serious matters, none of them say a word. When it comes to the end, they have a lot of bad ideas."
This' rotten idea 'referred to the matter of letting Yin Zhen lead the troops.
Now, Yin? Wangye's brothers, Great Wangye Yin? He was imprisoned when Kangxi was still alive. Yin? Even after he ascended the throne, he did not let him go. He was pushing the boat with the current. Dethroning Crown Prince Yin? Similarly, Cheng County's Wang Yinzhi was sent to guard Kangxi's mausoleum. Dun County's Wang Yinzhi was also encircled.
Only Prince Lian Yin Si and Gushan Bei Ziyin were left? They were still in court.
Of course, the reason why the two of them were here was because of Yin? In order to stabilize the people's hearts, as long as he took the opportunity, these two would not be able to escape.
Siyang listened to Yin's complaints. He didn't say anything rashly. Yin? She said all this now only because she could not hold it in. It was not because she wanted someone to give her advice.
However …
"I still remember that Your Majesty said a few days ago that you wanted to let Lord Jiu set up camp in Xining. Now that the war is urgent, I'm afraid it will have to be delayed."
Yin? He frowned. During this period of time, he was so busy with internal and external troubles that he almost forgot about this matter.
He did give the order to let Yin? Set up camp in Xining. This was also to temporarily send him far away, so that he would not stay here and cause trouble with Yin Si and the others. However, Yin? Because his mother was once one of the four concubines, her personality was also quite unruly. After he gave the order, she still dared to delay and not move.
Now that Xining was defeated, he could be considered to have escaped a disaster.
"If your brother was still in court, I would not have to worry about this." Yin suddenly said.
At this time, she remembered Nian Yaoyao's bravery and strength in battle. Siyang mocked in her heart. However, when she saw the worry that could not be put down between her brows, she hesitated to speak.
This happened to be Yin? Seeing this, he took her hand and said gently, "Yao 'er, if you have something to say, there is no harm in saying it."
Siyang was a bit embarrassed. She sighed and said softly, "Your Majesty these days, you have been worried and worked hard for state affairs. As an imperial concubine, chenqie cannot interfere in politics. However, the matters of the previous court have been spread in the harem."
Yin? He did not speak, but his eyes indicated for Siyang to continue.
"The reason why Your Majesty did not allow Lord Fourteen to lead the troops was because you were afraid that you could not control Lord Fourteen's temper."
Yin? With this sentence, his eyes instantly darkened. The temperature around him dropped. If it was anyone else, they would naturally be trembling in fear and kneeling down to apologize.
Su Peisheng, who was waiting by the side, could not help but swallow. The Emperor was in a bad mood when he heard about Lord Fourteen. Even now, the Empress Dowager did not dare to mention it. Only Gui Fei dared to say it directly.
Siyang's face also showed a terrified expression. She quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Please listen to chenqie."
"Yiya ~"
Fu Pei, who was crawling around on the bed, felt the movement here. Like a little turtle, he waved his limbs and wanted to crawl over.
Yin? He looked at his youngest son, took a deep breath, and bent down to help Siyang up. "Between you and me, there is nothing that cannot be said. Yao 'er, speak. Zhen will listen."
Siyang took advantage of the situation and held Yin's hand back. She said with a little grievance, "Your Majesty is the emperor, and chenqie is a concubine. Some words are indeed inappropriate, but chenqie really does not want to see Your Majesty in a difficult position."
"The imperial court wants to end the war as soon as possible. Many people suggested that Lord Fourteen lead the army. Chenqie knows that Your Majesty is unhappy about this. But if the stalemate continues, I'm afraid the situation will become more difficult."
These Yin? How could he not know? It was because of this that he was even more annoyed.
After looking at his expression, Siyang suppressed the smile on her face and continued, "Speaking of which, Lord Fourteen is Your Majesty's biological brother from the same mother. Even if there are many misunderstandings between Your Majesty and Lord Fourteen, it is because Lord Fourteen was bewitched by Prince Lian and others. Otherwise, how could you and Lord Fourteen fall out?"
The brothers fell out. Even if there were other reasons, it could not be avoided. Concubine De and Kangxi's interference, but these were not important.
"I can't let him go." After pondering for a long time, Yin shook his head. This time, he was not angry, but his voice was very calm.
If he let Yin Zhen go, he would have the military power, which would be a great threat to him.
"Your Majesty just asked Lord Fourteen to quell the rebellion. The people in his mansion are all in the Forbidden City …" Siyang pointed out at the right time, but she didn't finish her words.
"Hmm?" Yin was stunned. Then he quickly looked at Siyang and narrowed his eyes.
Being stared at, Siyang was slightly embarrassed and said in a low voice, "I … I just think that even if Lord Fourteen is angry with Your Majesty, he won't dare to make a joke of the country. After all, this is the country that our ancestors worked hard to build. His family and relatives are all there. He has to be more scruples."
Yin? Siyang was silent. She didn't say anything more. No matter how he looked at her, she was as calm as before.
"It seems that I have to think about it carefully." Yin looked away and fixed his eyes on his youngest son who had crawled to his side. He stretched out his hand and scratched his son's face, looking like a kind father.
"Your Majesty, please don't blame me for talking too much." Siyang leaned over and wiped off the saliva on Fupei's mouth with a handkerchief. She pretended to say inadvertently, "The Empress Dowager is now focused on worshipping Buddha, and the relationship between her and Your Majesty has improved a lot. But they are both flesh and blood. The Empress Dowager has hidden her concern for Your Majesty in her heart."
"When this concubine gave birth to Fupei, Fuhui threw a tantrum. In just a few days, she took care of her little brother more than me. After all, they are biological brothers, and their blood is the same."
Yin? She didn't know if he had taken these words to heart, but looking at his thoughtful expression, perhaps he had taken them to heart a little.
"Master, are you going to help the Empress Dowager save Lord Fourteen?" Xiang Lan thought that Siyang did this for the agreement between her and the Empress Dowager.
"No."
But Siyang's answer made her confused.
Generally speaking, letting Yin Zhen come out was not beneficial to Si Yang. The current situation was very advantageous to her. However, she had to be cautious in the face of the unexpected.
