The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 240: Seeking Death Again
After the Fourteenth Brother led his troops into battle, the Fourth Brother became more low-key than before.

Yinyou was still the same as usual, making no big mistakes but lots of small ones.

Because Zhang Tingyu only knew how to scheme and was not familiar with military affairs, and Kangxi was indeed old and weak and had little energy, he would call Yinyou in every day to discuss the military situation at the front.

"Little Fifteen, your Fourteenth Brother plans to march forward immediately to recapture the Snowy Area as soon as possible. What do you think?" After carefully studying the situation on the map, Kangxi raised his eyes and asked Yinyou.

Yinyu carefully considered his words and whispered, "Khan Ama, how can you send out a large army in winter? Besides, how much food and grass have been stored? If the army is defeated due to lack of food, Tsewang Arabtan will not only be able to capture the Qinghai and Khoshut tribes, but Xining will also be in danger."

Kangxi looked at Yinyou deeply. Well, Yinyou was quite broad-minded as he did not let personal grudges interfere in state affairs.

Kangxi had long known that Yinyou and the Fourteenth Prince were in serious conflict.

However, as long as it involved military and national affairs, Yinyou always maintained an impartial opinion and had no sinister intention of deliberately framing the Fourteenth Prince.

In fact, was it necessary for Yinyou to frame the Fourteenth Prince?

In the future, when the fourth brother ascends the throne, he will immediately deal with his unruly younger brother!
"Little Fifteen, do you think your Fourteenth Brother can win?" Kangxi hesitated for a moment, and finally asked Yinyou with some concern.

"Khan Father, Fourteenth Brother will definitely win. This is because you not only know military affairs, but also know how to appoint people to the right positions!" Yinyou took the opportunity to flatter Kangxi.

Anyway, the result has already been known, there is no way Yinyou could be wrong!
"Alas, what a pity, I can't live without you!" Kangxi seemed to be speaking up for Yinyou.

Yinyou sneered secretly, "Old Kang, if you really want to use me, just issue an order directly. Why are you crying wolf over me?"
"Khan Father, you also know that I have never had any great ambitions. I just want to stay with the beauty, the little prince and the warm bed, and live my own peaceful life!" Yinyu said this with full confidence.

Kangxi couldn't help laughing. Thinking about Yinyou's many behaviors, he realized that he really had no ambition!
He robbed other people's wives, had an affair with someone else's widow, dared to ride on Prince Tiemaozi's legitimate wife, and even kept a white-skinned ghost sister in the prince's palace.

Needless to say, Yinyou's reputation is already rotten, the kind that is rotten beyond hearing!

Kangxi, who had read history books so many times, had never seen such a reckless person who committed so many evil things.

After careful observation over the years, Kangxi knew better than anyone that apart from being on good terms with the fourth prince, Yinyou really did not form any clique!
The fourth son is also a good son and he doesn't form a clique.

To be honest, the fact that the Fourth Prince and Yinyou never formed cliques formed a sharp contrast with the powerful Eighth Prince's clique.

By now, Kangxi also knew that he was dying!

At this critical juncture, Kangxi’s most fundamental interest is only one: he will never hand over power until he closes his eyes!

King Wuling of Zhao was starved to death, Li Yuan lived in fear all day long, and Li Longji lived a life worse than death after abdicating. The lesson was too profound!
Yinyou returned to the duty room and continued to stamp his seal with the words "I understand".

The work is so busy that time flies by and it is almost time to get off work.

However, Kangxi called Yinyou over again.

As soon as Yinyou entered the room, he saw Kangxi's face, which was frighteningly pale.

"Take a look at this?" Kangxi gently pushed a piece of manuscript paper to the edge of the kang table.

Yinyou looked down and saw a crumpled piece of white paper.

Oh, it should be that the secret letter written by Yinreng to ask people to nominate him as the general was exposed, right?
Yinyu pretended to be confused, pretending to know the answer, and said in confusion: "Khan Ama, is there something strange about this blank piece of paper?"

Kangxi sneered and said, "Put the paper in the basin of water, and you will see something!" Wei Zhu held the basin of water, and Yinwei threw the white paper in. Soon, under the reflection of the setting sun, a line of small words appeared on the paper: Appoint me as the General of Fuyuan.

Alas, Yinreng was actually quite smart, but he was arrogant and looked down on others!

Now it seems that Yinreng has been fooled!
At the beginning, after Kangxi deposed the crown prince for the second time, he ordered the guards who were guarding Yinreng not to take any paper out of Xian'an Palace!
Over the years, Yinreng pretended to be a good boy, thinking that Kangxi had let down his guard.

However, even if the entire Eighth Princes' party were added together, they were not as threatening to Kangxi as Yinreng!
"Khan Father, why is it that writing appears on white paper when it is soaked in water?" Yinyou knew that it was a secret writing technique using alum, but he pretended not to understand and asked Kangxi.

Kangxi snorted and ordered, "Take a thousand guards and raid the house of Puqi, the commander of the Bordered Red Banner. Listen carefully, no matter if it is a book or a piece of paper, not a single one can be left behind, and they must all be brought back!"

"Yes!" Yinyou quickly knelt down to receive the order.

Kangxi glanced at Yinyu's hat and suddenly remembered something, so he added: "Puqi's family will all be punished as your disciples. It is said that his new wife is very charming. You must treat her well, understand?"

"Thank you, Khan, for your grace!" Yinyu pretended to be very happy and bowed down.

In fact, Kangxi was embarrassed to kill Yinreng, but he hated Puchi so much that he said the opposite on purpose.

The so-called treating her well may seem like nothing, but in the specific language environment, it meant that Yinyou severely bullied Puchi's beautiful wife.

After all, Kangxi was the king of a country, and it was not convenient for him to do dirty work that would damage his reputation.

Yinyou's reputation had long been ruined, so it was only natural for him to bully Puchi's wife on behalf of Kangxi!

After gathering a thousand guards, Yinyou led them straight to Puchi's house.

After arriving at the scene, Yinyou discovered that Puqi and Xiao Yongzao, the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace, were actually neighbors, and that the two families were only separated by a wall.

Xiao Yongzao was a close friend of the Eighth Elder, so Yinyu ordered without hesitation, "Come on, surround both houses together!"

Yinyou’s reasons were extremely sufficient. What if Puqi took his family and escaped over the wall into the Xiao family?

So, under the command of the commander, the guards surrounded the Pu family and the Xiao family, making it impossible for anyone to get in or out!
Yinyou was the old boss of the guards. Everyone knew how powerful and generous he was, so they worked extra hard on their duty!
In the Qing Dynasty, anyone who was arrested after the night curfew was almost always caught.

The power of the night curfew lies in the fact that even if Puchi's family members accidentally go out, they can be easily caught due to the layers of barriers and registration along the way.

The big fences at every street corner are like an omnipresent sky eye system, leaving people nowhere to hide at night!
"Listen carefully, everyone here is my disciple, they are my private property, you must not be rude to them, understand?"

"Whoo."

"How to search the house, you don't need me to teach you, right? But you have to pay special attention to one thing. The inner study, outer study and bedroom are the most important. Don't leave out a single piece of paper. Do you understand?"

"Whoo!"

"Let's start!" Yinyu raised his right arm and swung it down violently.

Wow, my goodness! The guards waved their swords and guns and rushed into Pucci's house like a tide.
