The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 171 The Real King and White

The fourth brother specially set up a feast on the pleasure boat on the big lake in the mansion, intending to entertain Yinyou well.

When Yinyou arrived, he saw the fourth and thirteenth brothers waiting for him in the houseboat.

Besides them, there were Dai Duo and a strange middle-aged man.

Seeing Yinyu coming, the fourth brother stood up to greet him and introduced him with a smile: "Fifteenth brother, let me introduce you. This is Fumin, also known as Longhan, from the Fucha clan of the Bordered White Banner Manchuria. He is currently the Western teacher in my house, teaching Hongshi to read."

"Your servant Fumin wishes you the best of luck, Master Fifteen."

"Get up."

Yinyou knew that among the fourth brother's old friends in the fiefdom, only three were really given important positions: Nian Gengyao, Fumin, and Fu Nai.

Among them, Fu Min has always been a laughing stock in the Hanlin Academy and is well-known throughout the capital.

In the Hanlin Academy's Shuchangguan, Fu Min failed both the Manchu and Han examinations within six years, and was personally ordered by the current emperor to be dismissed from the Shujishi position and to wait for the selection of county magistrate.

As for Dai Duo, haha, after the fourth prince ascended the throne, this guy was not valued and actually complained to Nian Gengyao in private, complaining that the fourth prince was blind and did not know the value of gold and jade.

As a result, Nian Gengyao really didn't tolerate him and wrote a secret memorial to sell him out.

Yongzheng was so angry that he was shaking all over. He then ordered Nian Gengyao to decisively deal with Dai Duo.

In the old TV series, after the fourth prince ascended the throne in front of the coffin, the first thing he did was to return to the palace and prepare to kill Wu Sidao who knew too much.

The prototype of Wu Sidao is Dai Duo.

According to the official history, the fourth brother had never seen Wu Sidao. He only knew that he was the think tank and advisor of Henan Governor Tian Wenjing. He asked casually: Mr. Wu, how are you?

The Thirteenth Prince just smiled at Yinyou and did not take the initiative to talk to him.

As long as there is a tacit understanding between each other, why bother to strike up a conversation that is annoying?
On the surface, the more distant the relationship is, the easier it is to speak for the other person.

After sitting down, Yinyu looked around and saw that the table was full of rare game. Among them, the most rare was that there were two stewed bear paws.

For the Manchu people, as long as bear paws were served at the banquet, it was considered the most luxurious feast.

The fourth brother, who usually doesn't drink, was very happy today. He forced Yinyou to drink three cups in a row.

After Yinyou took charge of the Infantry Yamen, he was able to intimidate the traitor Longkodo.

With the fourth brother's outstanding insight, the importance of the Infantry Yamen, which can gather 30,000 soldiers in a moment, cannot be overemphasized.

The relationship between Yinyou and the fourth brother is so deep that it is beyond words.

To put it bluntly, the military power controlled by Yinyou is in the pocket of the fourth brother, and he has absolute confidence.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that Yinyou was a prince born to a Han woman was enough to make the fourth brother feel completely relieved.

The Qing Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty of the Eight Banners. This is the collective consensus of the kings who own the banners.

Among the three emperors of the early Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji's biological mother Menggu Zhezhe was a genuine Yehenara. Fulin's biological mother Zhuang Fei was from the Mongolian Khorchin Borjigit clan, which was not only the core of the Mongolian Eight Banners, but also in line with the established national policy of the integration of Manchuria and Mongolia.

Kangxi's Guo Luoma Fatong Tulai was not only an original shareholder of the Qing Dynasty, but also a legitimate commander of the Han army of the Zhenglan Banner, and a true member of the Eight Banners.

Yinyou's biological mother, Concubine Mi, has not been promoted to a higher rank until now, simply because Kangxi was worried that this would completely anger the princes who controlled the rank.

At a time when the banner kings still controlled hundreds of Niulu, even though Kangxi was the emperor, he did not dare to violate the ancestral system and let the son of a Han woman inherit the throne.

To put it bluntly, if Kangxi really passed the throne to Yinyou, a brutal civil war would inevitably break out within the Eight Banners!
By then, the severely weakened Eight Banners power would no longer be able to suppress hundreds of millions of Han people.

At first, Li Erfeng really liked Wu Wang Li Ke, but she was unable to pass the throne to him because of the collective opposition of the important officials around her. This was because Li Ke's biological mother, Concubine Yang, was the daughter of Yang Guang.

The Tang Dynasty overthrew the Sui Dynasty, and then turned around and let the grandson of the Yang family take the throne. This is something that the uncle can tolerate, but the aunt cannot!

In addition, when Dorgon and Hauge were fighting for the throne, why did Fulin get the upper hand in the end?
The logic is simple, no one is willing to submit to the other, but no one can defeat the other. If they fight to the end, there will be a large-scale internal conflict among the Eight Banners!

How many people were there in the Eight Banners at that time?

Once a civil war breaks out, not to mention entering the pass, even the Jianzhou base will be difficult to defend.

Objectively speaking, as long as Concubine Mi does not raise the flag, Yinyou is a good brother whom the Fourth Prince absolutely trusts.

When the atmosphere at the banquet was very good, Dai Duo suddenly said something shocking: "Our master has the great help of the Thirteenth Master and the Fifteenth Master, and the world is at our fingertips!"

Yinyou quickly lowered his head and cursed in his heart, even a bear paw couldn’t stop his mouth, he deserved to be killed by the fourth brother!

After all, the fourth brother was employing someone, so it was not convenient for him to scold Dai Duo in public, so he gave Fumin a look.

After Fumin received the signal, he coughed lightly and said, "Today, let's drink fine wine, taste delicious food, and talk about romance."

However, Dai Duo did not understand Fu Min's subtle warning and continued to speak out.

"I think that the Crown Prince will be deposed again soon!" Dai Duo wanted to show his outstanding insight to win the favor of the Fourth Prince, so he deliberately made shocking remarks.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Yinyou deliberately grabbed a big bone and chewed it fiercely.

In fact, if Fu Min had not been present, it would have been harmless to listen to Dai Duo’s nonsense.

In these days, among all the major royal palaces, which counselor would not say something that violates taboos?
However, Fu Min had just joined Lao Si's team, so Dai Duo's words of horror seemed extremely inappropriate.

As Yinyu was busy gnawing on a bone, he couldn't help but think of a famous scholar: Xu You from Nanyang. To be honest, the common point between Xu You and Dai Duo was that they both forgot the truth that trouble comes from the mouth.

After all, he hadn't ascended the throne yet, so the fourth brother was very well-mannered and pretended to be deaf, trying to get by with the situation.

However, seeing that the fourth brother didn't say anything, Dai Duo became even more excited and dropped another atomic bomb.

"One night, I observed the stars and saw that the king had added a white star, which actually happened to our master."

Yinyou didn't dare to speak anymore. He just held the bone in his hand and chewed it with a crackling sound.

The king must not agree publicly, but the most important thing is that he cannot oppose it in person.

"Come on, Mr. Dai has drunk too much, help him back to his room to rest." The fourth brother suppressed his anger and did not get angry on the spot.

At this time, no matter how stupid Dai Duo was, he could see that the fourth brother was unhappy.

After Dai Duo left, Fu Min suddenly said, "There is no outsider here. I think what Mr. Dai said seems to have a basis?"

Yinyou and the Thirteenth Prince looked at Fumin together. Well, this guy is truly a hidden talent!
There is nothing wrong with Fumin's words if they are heard by outsiders.

However, to those who are attentive, it sounds like they agree with the king's suggestion.

There is only one king here.

Yinyu put down the bone in his hand, without even wiping the oil off his hands, and said carelessly: "I don't obey anyone but my fourth brother!"

These words are so thought-provoking and give people endless room for imagination!

Lao Si's heart felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey water, from his toes to the top of his head.

Yinyou only respects his fourth brother, so is there any need to ask? He will definitely support his fourth brother, the King!

The Thirteenth Brother also knew the Fourth Brother's temper very well. Seeing that Yinyu had expressed his opinion first, he quickly added: "Except for the Fourth Brother, I will not obey anyone."

Yinyou and the Thirteenth Prince expressed their opinions clearly one after another. The Fourth Prince could not help but stroke his beard and look at Fumin, his eyes full of admiration.

Fu Min is much smarter than that stupid pig Dai Duo. He lowered his head and deliberately didn't look at the fourth brother.

Well, this double act performed by him and the fourth brother received positive responses from Yinyou and the thirteenth brother.

It can be said that it was a great success!
In this world, the bond between people cannot be fully measured by the time you spend together.

Dai Duo has been Lao Si's disciple for quite some time, but he is a big mouth and can never gain Lao Si's trust.

Fu Min, on the other hand, was completely different. He had only been a disciple of Lao Si for a short time, but he had gained Lao Si's great trust.

To be honest, in the circle of top Tianlong people in the Qing Dynasty, everyone with a discerning eye knew that it was only a matter of time before the prince was deposed again.

Excluding the crown prince and the eldest brother who has been imprisoned for a long time, even though the fourth brother is unusually low-key, he will definitely stand out.

In any case, her biological mother, Concubine De, was from the upper three banners, and her adoptive mother was Empress Xiaoyi, which was definitely a big plus.

If Kangxi passed the throne to the fourth son, the princes and bannermen would be able to do nothing but watch even if they wanted to find fault.

When it comes to fighting, the fourth brother definitely can’t do it!

When it comes to conspiracy and intrigue, the fourth brother is definitely the best at it!
Before facing a decisive battle, it is particularly important to first distinguish between friend and foe and then hold on to your allies.

Facts have proved that Yinyou and the Thirteenth Brother are both absolutely trustworthy brothers!

Especially Yinyou, who suppressed Longkodo with his left hand, held the power of general manager of Changchun Garden with his right hand, and also held Nian Guanyin in the middle.

Alas, Yinyu’s power and prestige spread throughout the country, it was simply God’s help to the fourth brother!
After eating and drinking, the drunken Fourth Brother forcibly pulled Yinyu's hand and shouted, "Let's go to Yuechunlou together. Brother, I'll treat you to a meal!"

Old Thirteen, who is steeped in the atmosphere of the underworld, actually likes to visit brothels with the middle and low-level officers of the Eight Banners.

As far as Yinyu knew, the Thirteenth Prince still had close and negative distance contact with the popular courtesans in Yuechun Tower.

Anyway, the fourth brother robbed more than a dozen families of great scholars in Jiangnan, and had plenty of silver in his pocket, which was just right for the thirteenth brother to use to win over the soldiers in the Miyun camp.

The fourth brother was in high spirits, and Yinyou didn't want to spoil his fun, so the three brothers went out together, got in the car, and went straight to Yuechun Tower.

Today is different from the past!
With Yinyou sitting in the same car, the strict curfew system was of no use to the three brothers.

After arriving at Yuechunlou, Old Thirteen ordered a few beautiful girls who were famous in the capital like a familiar figure.

The Thirteenth Brother hugged his old lover, and the Fourth Brother hugged a virgin prostitute.

When Yinyu saw this posture, he thought that this person couldn't be unsociable, so he randomly selected a prostitute with long legs.

The fourth brother was not actually completely drunk, at most he was just a little dizzy.

When the atmosphere was just right, Su Peisheng suddenly reported from outside, "Sir, Longkodo is here."

The fourth brother was drunk and asked casually, "It's so late, what is he doing here?"

However, Yinyou knew that the three brothers had broken through so many night curfew fences, and it was impossible not to alert Longkodo, the local tyrant.

PS: If the monthly votes exceed 4600, there will be three updates, and I will never go back on my word.
