I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 60 Don’t fight for the truth
In the 60th year of Kangxi's reign, September passed and October arrived.

Under the rule of the great Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the seas and rivers were clear, the scholars and the people were happy together, and the people all over the world praised Emperor Kangxi for his sage and benevolence.

Although there were natural disasters caused by floods in the Yellow River, there were changes in Cewang Alabutan in the northwest, and bandits in Fujian in the south were frequent, they still could not cover up the achievements of Emperor Kangxi.

end of september.

After hundreds of officials reported it, Kangxi ordered Yue Zhongqi, the governor of Sichuan, to make Tibetan inscriptions in order to demonstrate the strong military virtue of the Qing Dynasty.

Early October.

Kangxi once again issued an order to summon General Yinzhen of Fuyuan to come to Beijing to pay homage and show his merits.

A few days later, another edict was issued: "Xiong Ci, a great scholar, served as an official and was upright and knowledgeable. I will never forget it for a long time. I often ask Zhou to take care of his family. Now his second son has come to Beijing to see his temperament. He can still study and should be educated." , you can tell Jiu Qing to know about it."

With such a series of actions, the situation in the north instantly changed from peaceful and peaceful to unstable.

Countless princes and ministers, countless pairs of eyes, and even the bachelors of the Three Palaces all began to speculate on the emperor's intention.

There were two edicts, one calling the fourteenth elder brother back to the capital, and the other summoning the second son of Xiong Cilu, a former university scholar, to come to the capital. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was just a gimmick.

At present, the war in the northwest is not over yet. At this critical juncture, the fourteenth prince Yinzhen was suddenly ordered to come to Beijing to pay homage.In addition, at the Longevity Banquet in the first half of the year, the scholar Wang Guan once again raised the idea of ​​establishing a heir apparent. Although he was criticized, he was not really convicted. Instead, his son was only punished.

The political signal released in this way cannot be ignored by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and the princes and nobles should not think too much about it.

On this day, the night is getting darker.

A palace of the capital. For the capital of the capital, this mansion covers an area of ​​up to a hundred acres. It has pavilions, pavilions, rockeries and rocks. It is more like a palace than a palace.

The lights in the backyard study were still on at this time.

"Ah~"

The Fourth Brother, who is over forty years old and looks mature and steady all over his body, oh no, now he should call Prince Heshuoyong Yinzhen. He pinched a string of Buddhist beads and said unhurriedly: "Khan Ama, this time I suddenly issued an edict asking my fourteenth brother to return to the capital. Sir, how do you think this king should respond?"

There were only two people in the group, one of whom was younger and looked to be in his thirties, and his face gave people the impression of a treacherous businessman.The other person is older, but his appearance is no different from that of ordinary scholars.

These two people are Li Wei and Dai Duo, the most trusted advisors of Prince Yong Yinzhen today.

"The emperor ordered the Fourteenth Prince to come to Beijing for pilgrimage. This is both an imperial edict and a father's order. The prince only needs to do his duty." It was Dai Duo who spoke in a rather calm tone.

"What's your duty... Sir, what advice do you have?" Yinzhen stopped the beads in his hand and asked.

Dai Duo said: "I don't dare to give you any advice. Just as the prince is doing in his daily life, it will still be the same as it is now. Including the attitude towards your elder brothers and princes, there is no need to deliberately cater to and flatter me."

Yinzhen looked a little surprised: "Is that just that?"

Dai Duo nodded: "That's just it."

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows slightly, and after a moment he became confused again: "It's not that I don't believe Mr. Zhong's words, but it's just that if you don't fight until now, how can you win?"

Dai Duo asked back: "Does the prince dare to carry out the old affairs of the Xuanwu Sect in the Tang Dynasty?"

Yinzhen's face froze, and then he shook his head. Li Shimin dared to kill brothers and brothers in Xuanwu Gate because most of the country in the Tang Dynasty was conquered by others. In terms of prestige and power, he was far superior to the nominal founding emperor Li Yuan. In addition, There is no way to retreat.

As for me, I am indeed a good hand in dealing with politics, but I am really weak in the military field. Currently, only two people can use him, and they can only be used.

While Kangxi, the immediate emperor, was still alive, Yinzhen would never dare to rebel, and he might succeed in his rebellion.

This is also in line with what Yongzheng did in history. He was cautious from beginning to end. It was not until Kangxi was critically ill and Yinqi was supervising the army in the northwest that he launched a brazen attack.

"In this case, why does the prince need to be so worried? Just wait and see." Dai Duo said: "Furthermore, the prince has forgotten one thing. Although the fourteenth prince has made countless contributions and has been blessed with saints, his title is still fixed to this day. Shanbeizi..."

"Sir, you mean..."

"Waiting for the right time, don't fight for the truth."

"What if Amma really wants to establish a heir apparent?"

"Whether it is the Xuanwu Sect or the idle prince, it all depends on the prince's decision."

"Master, don't worry. If you want to imitate Taizong's story, Li Wei is willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses." At this time, Li Wei finally caught the opportunity to interrupt and quickly expressed his loyalty.

"Well..." Yinzhen nodded slightly, noncommittal.

Li Wei, to be honest, Yinzhen looked down upon. He was just a merchant, and he donated his money to serve as an official.

But this person is indeed quite smart when it comes to doing business and making money, and he is especially unique in the salt administration.He also has a habit of being a good person and taking sides. Although he is not the first to surrender, he is also the most thorough.

Therefore, even though he looked down upon him in his heart, Yinzhen still attached great importance to him. Those who wanted to achieve great things should recruit talents in an eclectic way.

In the capital, because Kangxi suddenly recalled his fourteenth elder brother Yinqi, the situation in the entire capital became treacherous. Naturally, there was no energy to pay attention to the little chaos that happened in Zhangquan and Zhangzhou in Fujian in the south.

……

Fujian, Hui'an County, Quanzhou Prefecture.

In mid-October, Xu Zuozhu personally led a cavalry battalion of [-] people to Hui'an County. Then, on the order of the governor Lu Youlong, he began to levy money and food from the people for military use.

In just a few days, the entire Hui'an County was devastated by this powerful general. Even the wealthy gentry in the county were ordered to donate their salaries.

Both the people of Hui'an and the gentry were full of resentment towards this vanguard cavalry sent by the governor to counter the rebellion, but they did not dare to express it.

Because this guy really knows how to kill. From Hui'an County to now, he has beheaded a wealthy family almost every day because he didn't respond to the order to donate books and pay.

As for Hui'an County Magistrate Zhu Wen, this guy has long been put on the back burner. Anyway, it is the governor's order. How can he, a small county magistrate with no soldiers and no power, resist?
And why resist?

After all, he was just an official in a different place in accordance with the laws of the Qing Dynasty. Why did he stand up for a bunch of foreigners?
Besides, since the governor has taken over the whole matter, no matter what the final result is, it will not be harmful to him.

If the rebel thief is defeated, he will certainly have merit. If the rebel thief is not defeated, what fault can he have for being a person who obeys orders?

When the term is up, you can directly apply for transfer out of Fujian and go to other provinces.

In this way, Hui'an County suffered in dire straits for almost seven days.

Lu Youlong, the governor of Fujian, led [-] Qing troops, but finally arrived belatedly.

Fifty thousand Qing troops arrived in Hui'an County. Even if they deliberately concealed the news, it would be difficult to cover it up. Moreover, Lu Youlong had no intention of hiding the news this time.

Almost as soon as the army arrived, this information was known to the merchant travelers along the way, and they quickly exaggerated it and passed it westward.

And Lu Youlong himself was not idle either. As early as when the army set off, he had already sent a message to Quanzhou Prefecture, saying that he had personally led [-] troops to rescue them.

Let them, especially Wang Daocheng, the prefect of Quanzhou, not be anxious and try their best to hold on and wait for rescue.

　Yongzheng's adviser was actually Dai Duo, and Wu Sidao had to wait until Emperor Yongzheng became the emperor to get to know him.

　　The princes of the Qing Dynasty actually called the emperor Khan Amma, which was the Jurchen's calling habit.
