The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 170 Can’t afford to offend

Unlike the eighth brother who came from a humble background, the tenth brother’s maternal family was extremely powerful, second only to the Crown Prince Yinreng.

With the support of his mother's family, the tenth prince did not like to study, and Kangxi had no way to deal with him.

Over time, Lao Shi became an uneducated barbarian.

The Tenth Brother was not afraid of anyone's intimidation, so Yinyu walked up to him and did not issue an edict. Instead, he squatted in front of him and said calmly, "Tenth Brother, Khan Ama asks you, who ordered you to do this?"

The Tenth Elder glared at Yinyu and asked him in a rough voice, "Who else can order me around?"

Yinyou understood Kangxi's thoughts best. The Tenth Prince really said that he was instructed by the Eighth Prince, but the Eighth Prince was actually not in any serious trouble.

Last time, when the new crown prince was being nominated, it was obvious that the Eighth Brother was forming a clique.

At best, Kangxi stripped the eighth prince of his title of Beile and confined him to the clan house.

A month later, when Kangxi had calmed down, he restored the eighth prince's title and job.

In any case, Kangxi cared a lot about his reputation after his death and was reluctant to kill his son.

Yinyou understood what Kangxi meant. The old emperor wanted him to persuade the tenth prince to admit his mistake and be submissive to save the emperor's face.

However, the Tenth Brother is used to being arrogant and a bit stubborn, making him much more difficult to deal with than the quick-witted Ninth Brother.

"Tenth brother, does your knees hurt from kneeling?" Yinyou had plenty of ways to deal with the tenth brother.

No matter what, Lao Shi was punished to kneel.

He didn't dare to get up unless Kangxi asked him to.

"Bah, it's none of your business whether my master feels pain while kneeling or not. Who the hell do you think you are? Why are you trying to be a good person?" The tenth prince suddenly became furious and started cursing at Yinwei.

OK, what Yinyu wanted was the bad words from the Tenth Prince!
As long as the Tenth Prince got angry, Yinyou was sure to make him kneel down again.

When Yinyu entered the room, before he could open his mouth to report, he heard Kangxi order Wei Zhu: "Go, tell the tenth prince to kneel outside the gate!"

Obviously, the Tenth Prince's cursing angered Kangxi.

At the gate of Qingxi Book House, all the ministers summoned by the emperor must pass through here.

Kangxi deliberately made the Tenth Prince kneel at the gate in order to dampen his fighting spirit!
In fact, Kangxi was also very aware of the bad temper of the Tenth Prince. This guy didn't like reading and was like a reckless man, without any of the dignity of a prince.

In the Tian family, guys like Lao Shi are indeed rare.

Yinyu didn't want to provoke a scoundrel like the Tenth Prince easily.

However, since the Tenth Prince relied on the power of his mother's family, he despised Yinyou, who came from a poor family.

Haha, Yinyou doesn’t mind at all. Let him lose more face and suffer more!

To be frank, no matter how powerful the Tenth Prince's background is, can it be stronger than that of the current Crown Prince?

No matter how smart Kangxi was, he could not have expected that Yinyou was actually deliberately provoking the Tenth Prince.

Those who work with their minds can control others. This is definitely not an empty saying!
Yinyu reported the progress of the reconstruction of Baohe Hall. Kangxi suddenly sighed and said, "The three main halls are the symbol of royal majesty. However, since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, two main halls have been burned down. It is really a waste!"

When Kangxi said such things, Yinyou usually just let it go in one ear and out the other, not taking it seriously at all!

The Kangxi who was lazy in his later years was very different from the Kangxi who worked hard to govern the country in his early years!

In his twilight years, Kangxi indulged in leisure and pleasure and spent money like water.

Not to mention anything else, the expansion project of the Rehe Palace alone would cost at least three million taels of silver.

More importantly, Baohedian is an important symbol of the supreme imperial power and it is impossible not to rebuild it.

"Cao Yin imported a play called "Surviving the Tiger's Mouth", which I read and loved very much..." After all, Kangxi was old and liked nostalgia, so he began his daily chatter again.

Yinyu's ears had become calloused from hearing this familiar script.

As expected, Kangxi soon began to look back on the past and recall the glorious past when he, Cao Yin and Li Xu captured Oboi.

Whenever this happened, Yinyou would shut his mouth and listen to Kangxi's nagging.

After Kangxi had been nagging for more than an hour, he suddenly turned around and asked Wei Zhu, "Has Fu Peng from Prince Ping's mansion brought him here?"

Wei Zhu quickly bent down and reported carefully: "Your Majesty, Fu Peng has been brought here and is waiting for you in the west room!"

"Oh, bring him in!" Kangxi deliberately glanced at Yinyou while giving the order.

Yinyou had actually seen Fupeng a long time ago, but at that time, Fupeng was still a baby, and he only noticed that his eyebrows and eyes were more like Yinyou's.

After such a long time, Yinyu felt somewhat complicated when he saw his bastard son again.

However, the reason why Kangxi wanted to meet Fu Peng was probably not simple.

It was not until Fu Pengxu was four years old that Kangxi wanted to see him. I'm afraid he wanted to compare and see if he was Yinyou's son.
Because Prince Ping, Narsu, was getting worse day by day.

Narsu is the leader of the Red Banner and controls twenty-seven Niulu. This is very crucial.

If, after Kangxi's identification, Fu Peng is really Yinyu's son, then when Narsu goes to see Shunzhi, Fu Peng can be directly allowed to inherit the title. Kangxi tacitly approved the affair between Yinyu and Cao Jia, in large part because he was thinking about the twenty or so Niulu controlled by Narsu.

As long as Fu Peng was Yinyou's son and he inherited the title, it meant that the Red Banner would pose almost no threat.

Preventing the flag-holders and kings from hindering the imperial power is more important than anything else!

After Fu Peng was brought in, Kangxi held him in his arms and carefully compared his appearance with Yinwei one by one.

Finally, Kangxi said with satisfaction: "It is indeed your offspring. He looks like you in every way." There was a sense of complacency in his words.

Yinyou understood Kangxi’s thoughts, and the Bordered Red Banner had no worries from then on!

Kangxi was in a very good mood. Seeing Yinyu looking at little Fupeng eagerly, he smiled and handed Fupeng to Yinyu.

Yinyou held Fu Peng in his arms and took a closer look. Wow, it was just as Kangxi said. After this kid's eyebrows and eyes grew up, he looked at least 70% similar to him.

Hehe, whenever Narsu sees Fu Peng, he will think of the fact that Yinwei not only rode his legitimate wife, but also gave birth to an illegitimate child. I wonder what he would feel when the crown is covered in green?
"Well, since he is your offspring, when Narsu dies, Fupeng will inherit the title."

Kangxi had been looking forward to Narsu meeting Shunzhi, but even though Narsu had been bedridden, he was reluctant to take his last breath.

It's really exhausting!
Yinyou held Fupeng in his arms, and seemingly chatted and laughed with Kangxi, but in his heart he was thinking, the Tenth Prince is really strong. He has been kneeling for so long, but he doesn't even beg for mercy?
To put it bluntly, Yinyou deliberately catered to Kangxi's thoughts and kept chatting and laughing with him, just to make the Tenth Prince suffer more!
Damn, the boat has passed through thousands of mountains, what year is it now?

No matter how powerful your background is, is there no way I can deal with you?

When the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were enjoying themselves, Kangxi suddenly asked Yinyu, "Where has Wenda been going to the Third Prince recently?"

As the Prime Minister of Manchuria, Wenda's close relationship with the prince would inevitably attract the attention of Kangxi.

Yinyu bent his waist and replied, "My Lord, according to Longkodo, Wenda has entered my third brother's palace through the back door no less than eight times in the past few months."

Longkodo respected Yinyu very much and would report many secrets in the capital to Yinyu in a timely manner.

"Kneel down and pay your respects!" After Kangxi got the definite answer, he immediately lost all his spirit.

When Yinyou went out, he was in an extremely good mood.

The third brother is too undisciplined. He is secretly getting close to Wenda.

You know, Wendana is the Manchu Prime Minister in the cabinet, an important official among the important officials.

If the prince gets too close to important officials, he will inevitably be discouraged.

Yinyou himself was only close to the fourth brother, who was the so-called lone minister who was best at disguising himself during the Kangxi dynasty.

To be honest, even if the fourth prince and Yinyou joined forces, they would not pose much threat to Kangxi.

What kind of waves can two lone ministers create?

However, it was different for the Eighth Brother. Just looking at the people who went to the Eighth Brother’s house every day would make Kangxi unable to sleep or eat!
Yinyu had gained a lot today. He played a trick on the tenth brother who dared to defy him, and deliberately made him kneel for a few more hours. At the same time, Yinyu took the opportunity to make fun of the third brother, which made Kangxi feel uncomfortable with him.

Kangxi did have a lot of resources at his disposal, but he was not an omnipotent god.

After Fu Peng inherited the title, as long as Yinyu was willing to secretly spend time and effort to win over Cao Jia, the Red Banner could be completely controlled by him secretly.

Kangxi's judgment was based on the fact that he had no ambition.

But the problem is that Kangxi never dreamed that Yinyou did not dare to reveal his ambitions during Kangxi's reign. His main plan was to wait for Yongzheng to ascend the throne and then obtain more and greater military power.

When Yinyou walked to the front door of Qingxi Study, he saw the Tenth Master lying limply on the ground, with the vest of his court robes soaked with sweat.

Hehe, little brat, do you think you can look down on me just because you rely on the power of your mother's family?

No matter what era it is, the principle that the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager is true everywhere.

Yinyou, the chief steward of Changchun Garden, was with Kangxi all day long, and he had many opportunities to play tricks on him without being noticed.

In a society ruled by imperial power, what does a high title mean?

Only by stamping the emperor with the small seal of “I got it” every day can you have the magical power to shock the world!
When walking past the Tenth Prince, Yinyou deliberately stopped and yelled at the eunuchs around him.

"What do you all do for a living? You don't even know. Can you help Brother Shi wipe off the stinky sweat on his body?"

Alas, which of the eunuchs around here can’t see it?
If he had not offended Yinyou, how could the Tenth Prince have knelt for so long?
At the beginning, Lao Shi still had the energy to stand up straight. Hehe, now, he can only kneel down.

"Little Fifteen, you stinky bastard!" Old Ten cursed weakly. If you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear it clearly.

Yinyou couldn't help but smile slightly. He was too lazy to pay attention to the Tenth Master and went straight back to his duty room.

When he walked into the duty room, Yinyu happened to see Zhang Tingyu looking up.

When their eyes met, Zhang Tingyu quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at Yinyou again.

He was the tenth prince, the biological son of the present emperor, and had a noble family background, but he was humiliated by Yinyou without any hesitation.

I can't afford to offend you at all!
