Chapter 50
Soetu feels that he knows too much!
He shouldn't have asked the prince why the emperor scolded him, so he wouldn't have known that someone secretly stuffed candied haws to the prince. It would be fine if he secretly gave candied haws, but the emperor thought he was doing it and blamed him.
Soetu thought about it: Although Nalan Mingzhu was insidious and cunning, she still had the arrogance of being a powerful minister, so she would not use such childish means to blame him.
If he hadn't asked His Royal Highness too much, he wouldn't have known that there was something wrong with the account book of the Office of the Internal Affairs.
Now that he knows so many secrets, can the emperor let him go? He must not think that he must go home in full before he can find out the criminal.
As for why the emperor made an immediate decision to send him to the prince, let’s hear what the prince said?
Yinreng: Khan Ama temporarily made an attempt to show Gu the inventory of the Office of the Interior, just to show off his wealth like Gu. But when he looked at the account book, he found that the money had been stolen by his servants.
If Gu hadn't suggested it, Khan Ama wouldn't have known that he had been stolen. It would be so miserable!
Soetu: "..."
As a result, the investigation of the account caused by the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince cannot be in trouble or mixed in this matter. Prince Yu is responsible for investigating the case. With the emperor's order, no one dares to touch the emperor and Prince Yu.
Only the youngest prince is the youngest, surrounded by clothes arranged by the emperor, and is also the easiest to be exploited by others.
In order to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the only one who initiated the matter of the account of the Office of the Internal Affairs was the only one who founded the matter.
The court officials will not interfere in the affairs of the internal court and will do the matter of embezzling the accounts of the internal affairs office. Only the group of coattail slaves of the internal affairs office will be the ones who will be corruption.
Yinreng tilted his head and thought, but couldn't figure it out: "Three Grandpa, which slave do you think is so courageous that he stole Khan's money bag and slandered the lonely and spent money indiscriminately?"
Soetu knew that too much words would lead to mistakes, but when facing the questioning of His Royal Highness's study, Soetu did not want to hide it, nor could he hide it.
The emperor intended to ask him to teach His Highness the Crown Prince some "not very bright" matters, and Soetu himself also intended to teach Yinreng that he wanted to be the "life mentor" of the Crown Prince.
The emperor gave this opportunity and also saw the crisis for Soetu.
Hello, the prince, he is fine.
The prince is not good, the prince is fine, he is the one who dies!
Soetu made a choice immediately without hesitation.
Some are wealth and wealth, stable power, or falling into the abyss, and dying, and this is the way he chose.
The little prince brought a small bench and simply liked and trusted Soetu. He listened to Soetu intently and explained the meaning of the existence of the Office of the Interior to Yinreng.
"The Qing Dynasty had the Eight Banners. The banner owner of the upper three banners was the emperor, and the lower five banners were other royal princes. The Baoyi slaves were the slaves who followed us for generations. According to the Eight Banners, the slaves also had the slaves of the Eight Banners. Among them, the slaves of the Shang Sanqi were the ones who were known as Baoyi from the Shang Sanqi. They handled the affairs of the inner court for the emperor and were deeply trusted by the emperor." Soetu patiently explained.
Yinreng blinked and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Khan Ama trusts them, but they steal Khan Ama's money bag, it's so bad..."
Soetu continued: "In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are two thousand to three thousand people of Baoyi. They have worked with the royal family for generations, including good people and bad people. The slaves marry each other and marry each other. The children born are slaves for generations, and gradually form a large Baoyi family. Some servants manage affairs for the emperor, with greater face than the children of the Eight Banners, and some work with the empresses of each palace. They are easier to reach the heavens than court officials, and their glory and wealth are not worse than those of officials, and some even hold official positions."
"Now Khan Ama wants to recover the stolen money and arrest all the two or three thousand people?"
Yinreng asked curiously: "And then ask them for money?"
[That is obviously impossible. If everyone is arrested, the palace will be paralyzed!] He couldn't imagine how Ahma would use to get the money back and how he would punish the slave who made the mistake.
"Why did Khan Ama give the slaves so much trust and power?"
"The emperor wants to take charge of the entire Qing Dynasty, and where can he have time to take charge of the affairs of the inner court? The so-called inner court affairs are not only to support the empresses and little princes of the palace. The little princesses also need to manage the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace. There are more than 50 departments in the Interior Department, and the cashiers, sacrifices, guards, punishments, money and grain, construction, palace servants' errands, royal taxes, books, food, clothing, use, medical care, weapons, and palace officials, and the government are all under the jurisdiction of the Interior Department, and external officials cannot interfere," Soetu smiled and seemed to be asking Yinreng, but in fact he was teaching him.
"Compared with foreign officials, of course, the housekeepers and servants who have been slaves for generations are more trustworthy. What do you think? If you have something to do, should you leave it to the nanny, palace maid, and eunuchs around you, or to the court officials you have been sought by?"
"If your Highness has the opportunity to send people who are available to you to arrange things outside, such as someone who comes to you to arrange a goose garden for you to raise thousands of geese, will you send your servants who are very trusted by you?"
Yinreng nodded: "I will send Yuzhu!"
Yuzhu walked quickly and was very strong, and he was too smart and reliable. The goose in Yuqing Palace was the one who was incubated by the eunuchs and was familiar with the things here.
Yinreng imagined that if he was asked to send someone to Zhang Luo Yangeyuan, he would definitely send Yuzhu out because Yuzhu is reliable.
"So it is natural for the emperor to send his trusted Ministry of Internal Affairs to do things and give them positions. Compared with foreign ministers, the emperor is more familiar with the people around him. The officials who have been selected through the imperial examination are in charge of the affairs of the foreign court, and the affairs of the inner court are not suitable for them to do." Soetu said in detail. When facing Yinreng's simple question, he laughed: "If you arrest them, your highness's companion will read, haha, the beads will be gone."
Soetu said: "Your companion Cao Zhen was born in the Shangsanqi Baoyi family. His father worked in the Golden Palace and his grandfather served as Jiangning Weaving Manufacturer. He was already a well-known imperial official. The Cao family is so well-faced and favored by the emperor. Can Your Highness have any experience?"
If he had not trusted the Cao family in Jiangning very much, how could the emperor choose their son to be his companion for His Royal Highness?
How could the emperor ask the foreign ministers to contact His Highness the Crown Prince? Even Soetu, who is the prince’s relative, needs to be careful, let alone other ministers? Which of the tutors the emperor found for the crown prince was not famous and noble in the court?
Oh, yes, Nalan Mingzhu is the "spoken melon and jujube" among the Taifu, but she only has the title of vain, does not do practical work, and does not get close to the prince!
Yinreng was shocked: "Azhen, is she also a coated man?"
"If Baoyi made military achievements, he could still be promoted," Soetu said: "This is the case for the Cao family. If His Highness has the opportunity to go to Jiangnan in the future, you can see how famous the Cao family is there. Lord Cao was the imperial official and worked with the ministers. Cao Zhen's father served as the imperial guard in the imperial palace and worked with the Eight Banners. He only called himself a slave rather than a minister when facing the emperor. Have you noticed?"
[The third grandfather said that it is right. If a slave from Baoyi is born to win the trust of the emperor and has outstanding talent, it is possible even if he serves as a minister of the six ministries.] It is related to his friends, or is he the one who gets along with him as a good friend? It turns out that Azhen is born to Baoyi?
"Three Grandpa, is Amu, the elder brother's companion, amu, a man?"
"He was born in the Yehennara clan of Zhenghuang Banner, not Baoyi." Soetu said lightly: "However, Cao Zhen is more powerful in the palace than Amu, because he is following His Royal Highness."
The emperor once chose a child from Hesheli, but soon gave up this idea. The prince's wish is one thing, and the most important reason is that Soetu's sons do not want to have too much influence on the prince.
There is something called Sangui, which broke in front of Yinreng...
Yinreng: However, I treated Azhen as a good friend and agreed with him in the future to do the job together.
[The children are surrounded by the emperor's people.]
There are only two types of emperors in this palace, one is the emperor's elders, concubines, children, and relatives, and the other is slaves.
Yinreng's little face was about to be wrinkled into a bun: Gu always thought something was strange.
[Ah, Xiaomei wants to tell the child that your fourth brother Yinzhen was born to Depin, who was born to Baoyi. He was only adopted by the emperor to Concubine Tong.] Yinreng: "..."
The idea that Kangxi instilled in Yinreng has been completely broken. It turns out that slaves are not all slaves. The children of slaves can also be accompanied by princes, women born from slaves can also be concubines, and sons born can be princes?
Yinreng had not enough heads. He stared at Soetu blankly and threw out all his doubts and asked the reliable third grandpa.
Soetu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about these things. Your Highness is the crown prince and the crown prince. Everyone in this world is your slave and the emperor. Who can win your favor? Those are all in your thoughts. The rise, decline, honor and disgrace are all based on your thoughts. Whether it is the minister or the prince, they are all doing things for you and the emperor."
Therefore, since he has become the crown prince, he cannot take a step back, either go further to become emperor, or take a step back and fall to the bottom. With such a similar treatment, perhaps the only treatment that Yinreng had better than Soetu was that he was the son of Khan Ama. Even if he was wrong, he would not end up dying.
[The child's three views are all led by the third grandfather, Xiaomei can't stand it anymore!] [Why must a slave be a slave? Is Azhen a slave? Ah Zhen is a slave? A child will not be friends with him? If there are slaves in the world, the child will not have a single friend? Then is the third grandfather also a slave? Are the children's brothers and younger brothers all slaves?] Xiaomei's squirting from the soul, blew up Soetu's hair in the tone of a tiger. Soetu touched his official hat and said in a strange voice: Where does the wind come from?
Yinreng: Are the words of Khan Ama and the third grandfather wrong?
[Don't the kid want his brother and Azhen anymore?]
Yinreng frowned and thought. The completely different statements between the third grandfather and Xiaomei made him embarrassed, and a fear arose from the heart, for the unknown future and the authority of the lone throne.
If you are an emperor and be a slave in the whole world and only have yourself as your master, how lonely would you be?
[What is placed in front of the children now is an invisible fork in the road. As the master, you can control everyone's wealth and life! If you want to die, let whoever you want to die, let whoever you want to live. Everyone can be a slave who works hard for you. Everyone holds you and wants to win your favor and win your attention. They will try their best to please you for power and wealth. Are you willing?] Yinreng could hardly imagine such a life, that was terrible!
Yinreng: Why did Xiaomei scare the orphans? You are so bad!
[But, Grandpa San wants to push you on this road! The child's father has sent you to a high position. In fact, you can now decide the honor and disgrace and life of the people around you at will. Xiaomei has no alarmist words. If you don't believe me, ask Grandpa San, what is the gap between Brother Tutu and you?] Yinreng really went to ask Soetu. Grandpa San replied with a smile: "Your Highness, the eldest prince is a minister, you are the lord. People in the palace call the eldest prince the eldest prince, but only call you Your Highness. Do you know why?
Yinreng was trembling with his heart. Thinking of the scene where Brother Tutu, the third and fourth brothers, and Azhen all left him, he felt a suffocation. He held his breath and felt rejection and fear of the supreme throne from the heart.
How miserable should Khan Ama be. She is alone and has to work hard for the Qing Dynasty for the rest of her life.
[Su Shi's "Shuitu Songtou" says: "I want to ride the wind, but I'm afraid that the jade building and jade tower are so cold that it's so cold that it's dancing and playing with the clear shadows. How can children understand? Xiaomei sang "Shuitu Songtou" for you!] Yinreng:...
