In the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi, the 60,000 troops sent by the imperial court to quell the chaos in the northwest were completely destroyed, and Kangxi received a report and urgently summoned Yin Chan and Yin Yu to discuss secretly, and a good drama for military power began again.
The northwestern army was defeated, why did the Kangxi Emperor urgently summon Yin Chan and Yin Yu?
Because at that time, Yin Chan supervised the Household Department, and Yin Chan supervised the Bing Department! Just as Wu Sidao's analysis of the situation in the northwest was, the defeat of the soldiers in the northwest had little to do with the improper command of Chuan Erdan, but the key lies in the shortage of logistics grain and grass, and in the frequent urging and wanton intervention of the military department in the northwest.
That is to say, not all of the defeats in the northwest were caused by the "Eight Masters Party", and Yin Chan also had an unshirkable responsibility.
Therefore, the Kangxi Emperor would urgently summon Yin Chan and Yin Chan to discuss countermeasures; therefore, the great general Wang who "went out on behalf of Yin" could only be a certain prince of the "Four Masters Party" or the "Eight Masters Party".
After Wu Sidao's order, the fourth son of the Emperor, Yin Chan, decided to recommend Yin Yu as the "Great General King":
Yu Gong, Yin Yu's deep understanding of military strategy is enough to be competent; more importantly, Yin Yu leads the troops out to march so as not to be constrained by reinforcements and repeat the same mistakes;
Privately, Yin Chan could use this move in exchange for Nian Qianyao's "Viceroy of Shaanxi and Gansu" to restrain the Northwest Army;
In terms of the struggle for the throne, Yin Chan's recommendation of Yin Chan allowed the Kangxi Emperor to see his "human monarchy" and further consolidate his status as the heir to the imperial throne.
Therefore, the next focus of the emperor's fourth son, Yin Chan, was how to make "Yin Yu the Great General King, and Nian Qianyao the Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi". However, this work has several key points that are not easy to handle:
1. The exchange plan is good, but must Yin Yu agree to the exchange?
2. "Soldiers, the great affairs of the country", how can it be used for trading! How should Yin Chan propose this deal to Yin Chan?
3. At the critical moment when the throne was hanging in the air, the fourth son of the emperor, Yin Chan, pushed Nian Tangyao to the position of "Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu", and how to dispel Yin Yu's doubts. That is to say, how should Yin Chan dispel Yin Chan's doubts about the purpose of his recommendation?
In the entire interpretation of the "Yongzheng Dynasty", the fourth son of the emperor, Yin Chan, has always been a separate individual, and in terms of wisdom and scheming, almost no one can compare with it; what is even more terrifying is that he can also skillfully hide this kind of "cultivated into fine" wisdom of power and wisdom.
This time, in order to solve the key points of the above problems, the fourth son of the emperor, Yin Chan, chose the perfect opportunity to "wish his mother a happy birthday"!
After giving Yin Yu half of the things sent by Nian Qianyao, Yin Chan and Yin Yu entered the palace to worship Shou, and Princess De said to a jade bodhisattva statue:
"This bodhisattva is actually carved from a whole piece of jade, but it is not easy to find!"
Let's look at the saying of the fourth son of the Emperor, Yin Chan:
"Mother Eun, this is what the fourteenth brother has spent a lot of effort to invite from thousands of miles away." On filial piety, the fourteenth brother is stronger than me! ”
Yin Chan's sentence can at least play three roles:
1. Speak for Yin Yu, create a positive image of a brother, and let Yin Yu read his own human feelings first;
2. Let Yin Yu be ashamed, cover up the fact that "filial piety is wrong" for Yin Yu, and make Yin Yu embarrassed to refuse Princess De's subsequent request.
3. Create a harmonious "family" scope and lay a language environment for Yin Chan's subsequent recommendation.
Hearing Yin Chan say this, Princess De looked at Yin Chan meaningfully, just like Yin Chan, what was going on with this bodhisattva statue and even all the birthday gifts, Princess De couldn't be unclear; what kind of "filial piety" performance Yin Chan had on the day, Princess De was even more clear. Therefore, the look that Princess Defei looked at Yin Yu was both a rebuke and a knock, and it was also a reminder to this son who "couldn't figure things out": Yin Chan is your big brother, don't count in your heart!
Then, Princess De gave a specific language punch:
"On filial piety, you are all good! In fact, this filial piety is not in these things. What matters is that you should share the worries of the emperor well, contribute to the imperial court, and fight for the face of your mother. If it weren't for your brothers fighting for me, why would so many people give gifts to celebrate my birthday?" Not long ago, the eldest brother's birth mother, Lady Nalan, was sixty years old, and no one went to kowtow to her birthday, or I went to accompany her for half a day. ”
Why was Princess De, promoted by the Kangxi Emperor, an imperial concubine who was "like a vice empress"?
It is certainly not because he dared to clash with the Kangxi Emperor's fourteenth son, Yin Chan, but because he dared to "grab the white blade with his bare hands" and take into account the overall situation.
So, who is fighting for the princess?
It is certainly not Yin Yu, who imitated the "instructions for dispatching troops", but Yin Chan, the fourth son of the emperor who went to Jiangnan to collect donations and was willing to collect the arrears of the state treasury for the orphan subjects.
Finally, why did Princess De put forward the negative example of "Naran Niangniang"?
Lady Naran, why did she end up in such a miserable situation? Isn't it because the emperor's eldest son, Yin Zhen, actively participated in the negative effect of taking the concubine!
At that time, the fourth son of the Emperor, Yin Chan, had been hiding and secretly taking the concubine, while the fourteenth son of the Emperor, Yin Chan, jumped up and down behind the eighth son of the Emperor, Yin Yu, and actively plotted. It was clear who Princess De was beating.
However, why did Princess De hit Yin Yu?
Although she lived in the harem, Princess Defei certainly knew something about the political affairs of the former dynasty, especially the northwest war situation that caused shocks in the government and the opposition; moreover, her own son was also in charge of the military department, and she would certainly pay more attention to the war in the imperial court; coupled with Yin Chan's subsequent idea of recommending Yin Chan, Princess Defei did not pursue the war situation; all this can prove that Princess Defei fully understood the war situation in the northwest.
At this time, the Kangxi Emperor's intention to "choose a sage and become the King of the Great General" had already been issued, and Princess De naturally wanted Yin Yu, a son with a military background, to become this "Great General King" with special meaning.
Therefore, Princess De's purpose in beating Yin Yu is only one: I can have today's glory, thanks to the contention of your four brothers; if you want to become the "Great General King", you must also let your fourth brother recommend it!
In fact, Princess De's true thoughts, Yin Chan already had a number in mind, after all, Princess De's really beloved son was only Yin Yu. A prominent errand that was most suitable for Yin Yu appeared, and Princess De would definitely ask Yin Chan to help. Well, since Princess De had spoken about this, Yin Chan had already planned, and there was no need to hide it, so let's just say:
"Eun Niang, since your old man said this, the son-in-law must first ask Eun Niang for something, and then go and do it!"
Let's take a look at Princess De's response:
"If it's a matter for the imperial court, you can't tell me that our Qing Dynasty has rules, and the harem can't do politics!"
Princess De's response was a bit of a taste of "wanting to cover up", or did it have the meaning of "there is no silver in this place for three hundred and two"?
Yin Chan said:
"Yes! But in this matter, the son-in-law must first let Eun Niang know! Erchen wanted to recommend the fourteenth brother to be the king of the great general, and the fourteenth brother was deeply familiar with the military strategy and managed the military department for many years, and only when he became a great general could he quell the rebellion in the northwest and share the worries of the emperor Amma. Speaking of this great merit, the sons and daughters do not want to let the family take it away! ”
Reading carefully, the level of Yin Chan's sentence is so high that it is impressive:
On the matter of gong, Yin Chan attributed the reason for recommending Yin Chan to "deep military strategy" and "supervising the military department for many years";
On the topic of selfishness, Yin Chan also attributed the reason for recommending Yin Yu to the mutual care and mutual promotion between "one mother and one compatriot";
More importantly, Yin Chan's recommendation of Yin Chan was in strict accordance with what Princess De had just explained, "sharing worries for the emperor" and "contributing to the imperial court".
More importantly, taking advantage of the opportunity of the birth mother's big birthday, Yin Chan proposed to recommend Yin Chan's request, and there was another most critical effect: the birth mother's big birthday, and the situation of "brotherhood and brotherhood" between Yin Chan and Yin Chan was the greatest filial piety performance.
With these words, Princess De's heart will understand:
"Although it is hard work to bring out troops, I cannot patronize and hurt my son and delay the great affairs of the imperial court; moreover, Chan'er thinks like this for the sake of both the court and her brothers. Yu'er, I haven't thanked your fourth brother yet! ”
To say that Princess De can give birth to princes like Yin Chan and Yin Chan is not simple, one sentence sets aside her sin of "interfering in the government", one sentence brings Yin Chan and Yin Chan's brotherly feelings closer, and one sentence makes Yin Chan's recommendation successful and makes Yin Chan only accept.
Well, the three key points of the three problems mentioned above have all been realized:
Why did I recommend Yin Yu? Not because of the exchange of nian tangyao's "viceroy of Shaanxi and Gansu", but to listen to Eun Niang's explanation, share worries for the emperor, contribute to the imperial court, and fight for Eun Niang!
Why did Yin Yu accept this recommendation? The birth mother is here, Yin Chan takes care of you and cares for you so much, do you dare to know what to do?
However, how should the transaction of exchanging "recommending Yin Yu" for the "Viceroy of Shaanxi and Gansu" be proposed?
As long as Yin Chan accepted Yin Chan's recommendation, as long as Yin Chan dispelled his doubts about Yin Chan, he would offer a deal. Don't forget, at this time, Yin Chan supervises the household department, responsible for the supply of grain and grass in the northwest, in order to let Yin Chan continue to support himself, Yin Chan will also take the initiative to propose a deal!
Well, Yin Chan's recommendation that Yin Chan go to the northwest to lead troops not only weakened the power of the "Eight Masters Party", but also provoked the internal relations of the "Eight Masters Party", and temporarily reduced Yin Yu's powerful opponent. Moreover, Yin Chan's "people and kings" and "taking into account the overall situation" made the Kangxi Emperor firm in his confidence in passing the throne; more importantly, Nian Qianyao, who served as the "Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu", could also fundamentally restrain Yin Yu's northwest army, absolutely ensuring that Yin Yu would not pose a threat to his succession.
It was not until Nian Qianyao supplied grain and grass to Yin Chan in time that Yin Chan saw the great power of the emperor's fourth son, Yin Chan, and understood that the eighth son of the emperor, Yin Chan, was only a "disease of scabies", and the fourth son of the emperor, Yin Chan, was the real "big problem in the heart". Anyway, it's too late!
