Shock! I accidentally entered the Qing Dynasty and was spoiled by the Fourth Master

Everything happened just as Yinzhen had expected. Kangxi really chose to adopt his suggestion. The next step was to select a suitable person to serve as the imperial envoy. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that although the fourth brother's plan was feasible, it was obviously not easy to implement. This would naturally offend the powerful people in the court.

This was exactly the result Yinzhen wanted. Everyone in the court knew that this was an offensive job, so naturally no one wanted to compete with him. It was a sure thing for him to become the imperial envoy.

Since Deyin married into the Fourth Prince's Mansion, the Fourth Prince had the support of the Imperial Tutor's Mansion. The Crown Prince was often reminded to be careful of the Fourth Prince. Although Yinzhen was his man on the surface, he could not be prevented once his ambition was revealed.

Yinzhen went to discuss the matter with the crown prince. Although the crown prince was reluctant to let him go (after all, if the fourth prince offended someone, it would be the same as if he offended someone too), he could not resist Yinzhen's insistence and agreed to Yinzhen's request.

The Minister of Chincha has been appointed, and the first step is to start cleaning up the court. Yinzhen has long verified the deficit in the treasury, but the prince has been delaying repayment. If the days go by with only outgoings and no income, even 100 million taels of silver will not be able to withstand this tossing.

The tenth son had borrowed money from the treasury many times in recent years, and Yinzhen first used him as a pretext to recover 200,000 taels. The tenth son's mansion did not have any cash to take out, and it was only at Yinsi's request that the ninth son paid back the 20 taels for him.

The recovery of the silver needed to be completed in a short period of time. The Thirteenth Master asked the Emperor to complete it together with his fourth brother, but Emperor Kangxi rejected him outright, saying that the Thirteenth Master was a man of temperament and was not suitable for this task. If he wanted to recover the debt without discrimination, he needed to break all ties and act according to the rules.

Besides, everyone knew that the Thirteenth Master and the Fourth Master were both members of the Crown Prince's faction. The Crown Prince's faction and the Eighth Master's faction had always been at odds. The Eighth Master's faction had been looking for an opportunity to overthrow the Crown Prince in one fell swoop. If it weren't for the Thirteenth Master and the Fourth Master, it wouldn't have been so difficult. At this time, Kangxi agreed to let Yinxiang participate in debt collection. With both of the Crown Prince's faction present, if the scale was not properly grasped, it would easily turn into a scene of fighting between the two parties. Kangxi didn't want to see the debt collection fail and instead lead to a fight between brothers.

This matter can only be led by Yinzhen, who is calm and cold-hearted, and the burden is all on him. In fact, he also has selfish motives. Now the imprint of the prince's party is too deep on him. If he wants to get rid of him, he needs an opportunity. This matter is an opportunity if he grasps it well.

The ninth prince owed the Ministry of Revenue hundreds of taels of silver, but Yinsi had turned a blind eye to him and did not pursue him. After Yinzhen took over, he immediately handed the account book of the ninth prince's debts and embezzlement to the eighth prince's residence. Yinsi had no choice but to let him handle it impartially.

After warning Lao Jiu several times, he still failed to pay the debt. Yinzhen has been bringing people to the door to urge repayment these days. People in the capital are panicking, not knowing who will be the next one to be caught. Even Wei Dongting, who has had a close relationship with the emperor since childhood, was not spared, not to mention that Yinzhen was afraid of others.

As soon as he came out of Wei Dongting's mansion, Yinzhen led his men straight to the Ninth Prince's mansion. When the servant outside the door saw him, he ran in to report without waiting for Yinzhen to say anything.

The Ninth Prince knew that his Fourth Brother would definitely investigate his house, so he was naturally prepared. The Ninth Prince was already somewhat unhappy about the fact that his Fourth Brother bypassed his Eighth Brother and directly managed the Ministry of Revenue, so naturally he couldn't let him have it too easy since they investigated his house. So what if he didn't return it?

After hearing the report from the servant, the Ninth Prince looked disdainful and said, "Just say I'm not here and let Fourth Brother wait outside." The servant had no choice but to convey the Ninth Prince's intention.

Yinzhen knew that Lao Jiu was at home, so he waved to the guards behind him to signal them to go in. The servant at the door had no intention of stopping them. Yinzhen felt very oppressed standing outside, and there were many people gathered at the door watching the excitement.

The people of the capital city have already been talking about it. Now the Fourth Master is at the Ninth Master's house, and no one knows what will happen in a while.

When the guards invited the Ninth Prince out of the mansion, they did not give him any face at all. The Ninth Prince struggled impatiently but was held down by his arm by Ling An who was beside him.

Lao Jiu walked to the gate of the mansion and sneered at Yinzhen: "This is the man under Fourth Brother's command. He really makes me look at him with new eyes."

Yinzhen shouted at Ling An to let go and approached the Ninth Prince step by step: "The Emperor has entrusted me with an important task. Time is tight and I have no choice but to ask them to ask my Ninth Brother to come out. I hope my Ninth Brother will not be surprised."

Yinzhen brought up the Emperor's father, which made the Ninth Prince, who was about to speak, speechless. Now he owed money to the national treasury. Before, it was the Eighth Prince who helped him to run the business, but now even Lord Wei was not spared, let alone him.

"Now that I'm in Ninth Brother's house, you have to take some practical actions." Yinzhen patted the book of his overdue accounts on Ninth Brother's chest and whispered in his ear, "It would be embarrassing if we send people in and find something."

The Ninth Prince had no choice but to have his men pack up the existing silver in the mansion and carry it out. If Yinzhen didn't see these today, he would definitely not leave. Besides, many of the people surrounding the door were making fun of his mansion. If the stalemate continued, who knows how badly these people would say about the Ninth Prince's mansion.

Yinzhen counted the boxes that were carried out and found that he had almost paid off all the previous debts. It seemed that the Ninth Prince's mansion was not without money but just didn't want to pay it back.

Once the debt collection started door to door, the ministers in the capital dared not fail to pay back the silver to the national treasury. They also dared not shirk their responsibilities wherever the cold-faced prince went, and at the end of the day, almost all the silver was collected.

Deyin knew that the Fourth Master was ordered by the Emperor to liquidate the national treasury, but this was an extremely offensive matter, and she didn't know whether her father would be implicated.

When Yinzhen returned home, he went to Qingyin Pavilion before it was too late. His visible fatigue made Deyin feel distressed. It was the first time in such a long time that she saw him so tired. He had been dealing with court officials all day, and it took some effort to deal with them all.

Deyin gently placed her hands on Yinzhen's temples and began to rub them slowly. The gentle touch of her fingertips made Yinzhen relax for a moment: "Master, is everything going well today?"

Yinzhen closed his eyes and recalled what happened today. Those ministers wanted to shirk their responsibilities by claiming that they had the support of the Eighth Prince and the Crown Prince. If the Emperor had not agreed today to let him search Wei Dongting's mansion, who knows what excuses those ministers would have used to fool him.

He didn't want to make Deyin worry: "This time it was approved by the Emperor himself, believe me." He said this lightly to hide the heaviness in his heart.

"I'm tired today, so you should rest early." Deyin said and wanted to help him undress.

Yinzhen looked at the movements of her hands, with a clear curve at the corners of his lips: "Are you so impatient?" Deyin didn't want to pay attention to him after hearing this. She was obviously so tired, but he was still making jokes all day long.

"Wait." Seeing that she did not respond to him, Yinzhen grabbed her hand that had just touched her collar. He had not yet told her that the emperor had appointed him as the imperial envoy yesterday. This appointment might require him to go on tour for a while, so he should talk to her about it.

Deyin was not surprised. She knew what happened today, but she had never thought that it would happen so quickly. In the 47th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, the Fourth Prince cleared the treasury for Emperor Kangxi and toured Jiangnan as an imperial envoy. This year, he finally got rid of the stigma of the Prince's Party and became a complete lone minister, no longer belonging to any party, and became independent.

Deyin looked at Yinzhen in front of him. Although he looked a little tired, it couldn't stop the high spirits hidden behind him.

"Then you must be careful on this trip and return safely." Deyin just hoped that he would not encounter any accidents outside.

Yinzhen looked at Deyin with interest, thinking that she would say something else, but he waited for a long time and nothing came of it: "You have been away for so long, Yinyin, do you have anything else to say?"

Deyin knew what he wanted to hear, but she refused to say it. She kissed Yinzhen on the lips in a rush, which even confused her, not to mention Yinzhen who was not prepared at all.

It seems that his Yinyin really can't bear to leave him, and although she doesn't say it, her body is very honest.
