Chapter 235 The Third and the Seventh
The eldest brother has a place to go, and the next person to discuss in detail is the third brother. Yinreng decides to take advantage of the time before he ascends the throne to arrange the future of his brothers.
Yinzhi came very quickly, and he felt a little guilty. Although his little tricks and plans from beginning to end were not noticed by others, he really had the ambition to compete for that position. However, in the end, because of his lack of ability, he was not taken seriously and was ignored.
Seeing Yinzhi being so timid and hesitant, Yinreng shook his head in amusement. This was why they had never taken him seriously. He only had the appearance of a scholar but not the backbone of a scholar. He was similar in form but not in spirit. He was just superficial and would never be successful in any life.
However, although this third brother has many problems, there is one thing that cannot be denied, that is, he really loves reading the most among his brothers, commonly known as a nerd.
Make the best use of everything. This is why Yinreng called him here today.
Waving for Yinzhi to come forward, Yinreng began to explain: "This prince knows all your little tricks and thoughts. Now I give you a chance to make meritorious service while serving your sentence. If you do well, I will forgive you and you may even make meritorious service. How about that? If you don't do well, I can give you the title of prince, but I can also remove it."
Yinzhi was already a little scared before he came, and now he was even more scared after hearing Yinreng's threats. Although his father was still the emperor, a new emperor changed his ministers. Once Yinreng ascended the throne, the emperor would become his elder brother. There is a big difference between the concept of the emperor being one's father and the emperor being one's half-brother.
Therefore, after Yinreng finished speaking, Yinzhi nodded and agreed: "I agree, I agree. As long as you say I can do it, I will do anything."
Seeing Yinzhi frightened by him, Yinreng did not go over to comfort him. He had to treat the third brother differently from the eldest brother. The lessons learned in his previous life made him understand that some people are just mean-spirited. If you are tolerant of them, they will easily become arrogant, but if you make them afraid, they will be as obedient as a kitten and behave well.
He did not forget that the third brother who followed him in his previous life immediately took advantage of his misfortune after he was deposed. Not only that, he also secretly reported the eldest brother for practicing the art of witchcraft.
The behavior of a villain is the most shameless. He did not get involved in this life, but was willing to give the other party a chance, which was already very tolerant and great.
Perhaps it was because of the butterfly effect he brought about. Yinzhi, who should have been compiling a historical collection in the Ministry of Rites in this life, has not taken any action yet. And if things continue like this, there will definitely be no "Kangxi Dictionary" in the future.
This can be regarded as one of the monarch's favorite achievements. Compiling books represents the dissemination of culture, just like the "Analects of Confucius" collected and compiled by Confucius' disciples. Later generations who learn and use these books are also influenced by the culture contained in them.
Now that he had seized this opportunity, Yinreng would certainly not let it slip away. Therefore, even if Yinzhi had his next job, there might not be the "Kangxi Dictionary" in the future, but we can have the "Kaiyuan Dictionary".
Yes, Yinreng has decided that after this year is over, he will call the new reign title Kaiyuan. Although it overlaps with the reign title of Li Longji, the original meaning of these two words is very consistent with Yinreng's expectations. Kaiyuan, Kaiyuan, means a new beginning, prosperity and prosperity.
Yinzhi was not at all vague when he received this task. He started to make preparations as soon as he left the Yangxin Palace. He knew his position in front of Yinreng. Not to mention comparing with the fourth, ninth and tenth brothers, he could not even compare with his eldest brother.
Since this is the case, it is better to be obedient and do as he says, and quickly complete the tasks assigned by Yinreng. Maybe then the second brother will really give me some reward for my good work.
People should still have dreams, otherwise what’s the difference between you and salted fish?
After dealing with the third brother, the next person Yinreng wanted to persuade was the seventh brother. Although the other party seemed very honest in recent years, he actually made quite a few small moves, but they were all done in secret and he didn't dare to make any big moves.
Yinreng did not doubt the other party's ability. Although this younger brother seemed to be the least outstanding among the princes, in fact, he was simply dragged down by his broken leg. He dared to say that if it were not for this leg, there would have been more than just the so-called Nine Dragons Fighting for the Throne in his previous life, and it was really hard to say who would win the throne in the end.
Yinyou seemed to have known that Yinreng was looking for him. He arrived quickly and calmly. He didn't need Yinreng to persuade him and directly stated his attitude: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. My brother admits that he had the intention to seize the throne before and secretly did many things against the regent. Unfortunately, he was not as skilled as others. Now that everything is over, it can be said that he has reaped what he sowed. He only has the title of prince.
"Second brother, I am now convinced by you. From now on, I will absolutely follow your instructions. However, I have only one wish in my heart, which is to ask you to allow me to bring Concubine Cheng to your residence to take care of her after you ascend the throne."
Yinreng narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect Yinyou to actually want to take Chengpin out of the palace to take care of her. "Do you know what Chengpin did back then? You should know that because of this matter, Fourth Brother had a falling out with his biological mother and was almost completely disliked by the Emperor. If it weren't for my help, who knows what kind of life he would be living now.
Although the jade disc was changed in the end, the suffering we endured cannot be forgotten. Chengpin was the emperor's concubine, so this matter can be blamed on the emperor, but if you were involved and took her out of the palace to be taken care of, then some of the consequences will fall on you. As my good brother, it would be fine if I didn't know about these things, but knowing and turning a blind eye is a bit unreasonable, isn't it? You must think this through clearly.
Yinyou met Yinreng's understanding eyes and unconsciously wanted to avoid his gaze. However, thinking of his mother who had endured all these years in the palace for him, and who dared not speak up even when she was wronged, he reaffirmed his belief: "Second brother, as long as I can do it, I can agree to any conditions."
Yinreng: "Alright, I've been waiting for you to say that. I don't want to waste your skills. You should also be aware of the discussion between me and my elder brother. Don't try to explain why I can't explain it. I haven't banned anyone from speaking on this matter."
Seeing that Yinyou was about to speak, Yinreng stopped him directly: "It has come to this point, there is no need to play tricks. I am completely different from the emperor. Those suspicions and so on, don't worry too much for now. If you are too humble, I will be unhappy."
Yinreng continued, "Don't blame me for being partial. I don't treat everyone equally. Even these ten fingers have different lengths. You and my fourth brother have different positions in my heart."
Yinyou nodded: "Second brother, I understand."
Yinreng: "Okay, then I will tell you straight. When the time comes for Chengpin to be born, I can let you take her out of the palace to take care of her. Not only that, it will be legitimate and glorious. But you also have to promise me that for five years, you and your elder brother will fight for the Qing Dynasty in these five years.
At that time, I will not only promote your rank but also let you leave the capital. You are familiar with Goryeo. As long as you can meet my requirements, I will let you live in Goryeo with your family.
I plan to establish a Goryeo Prefecture there and appoint you as the Governor-General of Goryeo, in charge of all Goryeo affairs. There, let alone taking care of Chengpin, even if she goes out for a stroll, I will turn a blind eye as long as no one files a complaint with the capital."
Yinyou's eyes grew brighter as Yinreng spoke. What did he want in his life? At first, he thought it was the emperor's attention, then he thought it was a noble birth, then he thought it was the throne. Until now, he finally understood that what he wanted was freedom. He didn't want to be like an eagle with its wings clipped, trapped in the cage of power for the rest of his life.
Yinyou: "Second brother, it's a deal."
Yinreng smiled slightly and said, "Once a gentleman speaks, he cannot take it back." As he finished speaking, his two fists collided together.
