The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 42: Die and Fly Up

What deputy leaders hate most is that the boss often changes his orders every day and the promises they make stink like farts.

In the movie A World Without Thieves, Uncle Li said to the beautiful female thief Xiao Ye: "If people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team."

Of course, the fourth brother is also proficient in the survival skills that are essential for politicians.

However, Yinyou was the first prince to surrender to the fourth prince, and he was also very good at calculating accounts. He had enough weight to force the fourth prince to be reluctant to abandon him.

The fourth brother’s work efficiency is extremely high.

Not long after Yinyou returned to the office, Zahari, a doctor from the Eight Banners Division, was waiting outside the door for an audience with a thick file in his hands.

"I am Zahari, the third lieutenant of the Manchu Zhenghong Banner and a doctor of the Eight Banners Department. I wish to greet the fifteenth master." Zahari saluted politely.

The fourth brother said that this Zahari was a bondservant of the boss, and in his eyes, there was only the boss and no one else.

"Stand up." Yinyou didn't act like an assistant prince and directly asked Zahari to stand up.

"Thank you, Master Fifteen." Zahari stood up and whispered, "I have brought all the files on the dispute between Duke Jin Min and the Han people over the inheritance. Please take a look."

Yinyu pointed to the case in front of him and said calmly, "Put it here."

The eldest brother is really stupid. In Yinyu's eyes, he is already a dead bone in the grave!

After Zahari put down the file, seeing that Yinyou had no other response, he said, "Fifteenth Master, you will be in court tomorrow morning, and there are many things to do in the office. If you have no other instructions, then I will withdraw first."

According to official rules, subordinates cannot speak without permission from their superiors. Obviously, Zahari had been disrespectful and seemed to be neglecting Yinyu.

However, the gap in their status and position was too great, and Yinyou was too lazy to argue with him.

The reason is actually very simple. Ever since Mingzhu was dismissed from his position as prime minister, the boss's reputation has plummeted.

According to Yuzhu's private words, Longkodo, who originally wanted to take a gamble on his future, almost never entered the gate of the Prince of Zhi's Mansion.

The boss doesn't have many cards in his hand, and Zahari, who is in the Ministry of Household Affairs, stands out particularly.

After the eldest brother is imprisoned, Yinyou can control Zahari however he wants. What's the rush?

In officialdom, the most taboo thing is that if you hit me with a punch, I will immediately hit you back in the face in public, and the result will definitely be that both sides will suffer.

As the saying goes, we are not afraid of you dancing happily now, but we are afraid of making a list later.

"Go away." Yinyou waved his hand casually and let Zahari go.

In official circles, no matter what one's private opinions are, the files must be read carefully to avoid being deceived and suffering the consequences.

After all, the crown prince has not been deposed yet, so how can the fourth brother bear most of the burden?

The file is very thick, and the trial will be held tomorrow, so Yinyou can only work overtime to study it.

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood.

Yinyou was not in a hurry to look at the files, but took out a stack of manuscript paper and gently placed it on the desk.

After Wulin finished grinding, Yinyou picked up the pen and spread out the file.

Yinyu studied the files word by word and wrote down various key points on manuscript paper.

A good memory is always inferior to a bad pen.

In the past, he would take the initiative to make a copy of any document or report signed by Yinyu for future reference.

In official circles, once you sign a document, it means unlimited responsibility, and you never know when it will be held accountable to you.

Because time was urgent, Yinyou did not go to the fourth brother's house for dinner and continued to work at his desk.

As he was really hungry, Yinyou asked Wulin to go to the street to buy some freshly baked "donkey meat hotpot" and ate it quickly with tea.

Only after recording the key points of the file one by one did Yinyu put down the brush in his hand with satisfaction and stretched his body comfortably. "Wu Shi, go and get it for me to see."

Just as Yinyou was stretching his body and hadn't stretched it out completely, Kangxi's voice suddenly sounded behind him like a thunderclap.

Yinyou was totally unprepared. His whole body stiffened suddenly. Without time to think, he quickly turned around and knelt down.

"Your humble servant did not know that Khan Ama was here. This is extremely disrespectful. Please punish me severely, Khan Ama." Yinyu used a magic weapon to save his life and took the initiative to apologize at the first opportunity.

In a society ruled by imperial power, if the emperor ordered his ministers to commit suicide, the ministers still had to kowtow to express their gratitude.

There is no way, the supreme imperial power is so overbearing.

Wu Shi walked quickly to the table, picked up the excerpt written by Yinyou, and held it in front of Kangxi with both hands.

Kangxi took the summary and read it three times over, but he never said a word.

Yinyou was unsure as to why Kangxi came here out of nowhere.
However, Yinyou could not speak unless Kangxi asked a question. This was the rule in the palace.

"I heard that you often go to the prince?" Kangxi did not ask Yinyou to stand up, and his tone was very cold.

Yinyou almost laughed out loud. Damn, only a pighead would go to the prince so often.

Ever since Soetu was inexplicably killed, even people with a discerning eye knew an ironclad fact: the prince's situation was like Wang Xiaoer's New Year, getting worse every year.

"My dear Khan, the number of times I have been to Yuqing Palace to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not only very few, but also almost always during the holidays." Yinyou answered Kangxi's question confidently.

A person of integrity has nothing to fear. Yinyou had almost no private relationship with the prince and was not afraid of investigation at all.

"Really?" Kangxi asked Yinyou coldly.

Yinyu said firmly: "If I have said even a word of falsehood, I am willing to move out of the imperial edict and never wear a yellow belt again."

For the prince, being removed from the imperial edict means falling from heaven on earth into the eighteenth level of hell, and the political treatment is even worse than that of ordinary bannermen.

"If I remember correctly, you have been to the Qianqing Palace only a few times, right?" Kangxi's sudden attack caught everyone off guard.

This is obviously a fatal question!

Yinyu did not dare to hesitate for a moment and whispered, "Khan Ama is busy with state affairs and diligent in state affairs. I dare not disturb him easily."

"Don't dare to disturb you easily? Humph, you don't want to be close to me, right?" Kangxi's words were too heartbreaking. No matter how Yinyou answered, he would be doomed.

However, in a split second, Yinyou decided to fight to the death and tell the truth.

If you want to die, your eggs will face the sky, and you will live for thousands of years!
To put it bluntly, Kangxi had always treated Yinyou as if he were air and ignored him.

Yinyou had no title, power or favor, so even if he offended Kangxi, there was not much substantial damage.

After the fourth prince ascended the throne, the thirteenth prince, who had been idle for more than ten years and was not even a beizi, suddenly became the popular executive vice emperor.

There is nothing to be afraid of about Yinyou!

For thousands of years, there has always been a new emperor and new ministers, without exception.

The more the old emperor dislikes a person, the more the new emperor likes to use him. The reason is not complicated.

"Khan Ama dotes on his eighteenth brother, and I am very happy in my heart!" Yinyou expressed his true thoughts very tactfully. He did not want to compete for favor with his own brother.

There were two hidden meanings in Yinyou's words, and given Kangxi's intelligence, it was impossible for him not to understand them.

I have no ambitions and I don't even think about the throne. In addition, the Eighteenth Brother is my biological brother, and I absolutely cannot fight for his favor by killing my brother.

"Hmph, you are a disloyal and unfilial beast, you are so bold." Kangxi was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He raised his hand and slapped Yinyou fiercely on the head.

"Pah..." Two of the oriental pearls on Yinyou's head were knocked off. It is conceivable that Kangxi was really angry.
