There is a star in the world. There are people like this who defeat their father and mother, brother and sister, sister and sister, and of course, there are also "rewards".

In a way, Kangxi can be regarded as a "Ke" star!

His parents, Shunzhi and Tong Jia, died early. Perhaps it was not his fault, nor could they say that he was "resisting his father and mother" because of this. However, one thing that can be basically confirmed is that Kangxi was a rare emperor who "resisted the queen".

The first queen, Hesheli, was lucky to tell fortunes. When she first became the queen, Kangxi was only twelve years old and her strength was still small, so she served as the queen for nine years and lasted until the thirteenth year of Kangxi. She became ill after giving birth to Prince Yinreng for Kangxi in May of that year, and died on the day of her child! She was only twenty-two years old.

The second queen, Niu Hulu, was a little scared. Although she was named the queen, she died of illness after only half a year of her tenth prince. But it was not bad, and she also left the tenth prince Yinzhen.

The third queen, Tong Jia, is the niece of Kangxi's biological mother, and is cousin and sister to Kangxi. However, her fate is really miserable! First, she was named the imperial concubine, but later she fell seriously ill. Kangxi had a deep relationship with her and hurriedly appointed her as the queen, hoping to use the name of the queen to fight against evil spirits. However, Kangxi forgot that his queen had never had any good luck and ordinary people could not withstand it, let alone Tong Jia was already ill and was almost out of the way. As expected, Tong Jia died of illness the day after she was enthroned. Moreover, no prince stayed.

After three queens, Kangxi never established a descendant, so the central palace was vacant in the second half of Kangxi's rule.

However, although Tong Jia had no descendants, she had an adopted son. This was the fourth prince Yinzhen.

Yinzhen's biological mother was Defei Wuya, the imperial concubine with a strong position. In eleven years, she gave birth to three princes for Kangxi, namely the fourth prince, the sixth prince, the fourteenth prince, the seventh prince, the nineth prince and the twelve daughter. Although one of them was the prince, and the two princes died young, after all, there were two princes and one prince, and one prince grew up. Compared with Rong Fei Ma Jia, who died early after giving birth to five sons in a row, Concubine De was already quite lucky.

However, when Concubine De had just given birth to her first son, the fourth son Yinzhen, Kangxi's cousin, Tong Jia, who was the imperial concubine at the time, asked Kangxi to adopt a prince to raise her because she had no heir. Kangxi had a very good relationship with Tong Jia, so naturally responded to this request and brought Yinzhen, who was born to Uya, to her.

This time, Yinzhen's status immediately became unique from an ordinary prince. Who said that Tong Jia had no son? If she hadn't died early later, Yinzhen would have become one of the legitimate sons of Kangxi, the legitimate prince with the same status as the Crown Prince Yinreng and the Tenth Prince Yinzhen.

However, Tong Jia died in the end. However, although he returned to the embrace of Uya on the surface, Uya was busy taking care of the fourteenth son Yinzhen, who had just been born not long ago. Yinzhen, who was already in his teens, naturally could not feel the warmth of Uya's maternal love. Therefore, the relationship between mother and son was weak.

However, Yinzhen was lucky after all. Because of Tong Jia, he was favored by Kangxi and became one of the few princes who could be taught by Kangxi himself. However, it is precisely because of this that Kangxi was very clear about Yinzhen's character, especially his most obvious impatient and irritable personality, and often warned him to pay attention. Moreover, he never did anything to him. Therefore, Yinzhen's influence in the Qing court was far less than that of the eldest prince Yinzhen and the crown prince Yinreng. Even the third prince Yinzhi, who was ordered to organize the editing of "A Collection of Ancient and Modern Books" (the original name of "A Collection of Ancient and Modern Books") and the eighth prince Yinsi, who had begun to make friends with ministers with a gentle hat. Even the thirteenth prince Yinxiang, who was a powerful foreign vassal behind him, was still young and had much greater influence than him.

Therefore, at this moment, Yinzhen also knew what kind of materials he was. He didn't have the will to fight for power and profit. He just wanted to do some career so that Kangxi could give him a good position. Now, he was just a good friend of the crown prince Yinreng. Of course, there were also reasons why Yinreng took the initiative to recruit him. After all, the boss Yinzhi had no way to hide his relationship with the eighth, nineth and tenth princes, and Yinreng would not watch and did not act any more. Therefore, the Fourth Prince, who was taught by Kangxi with him, became a good recipient.

Yinreng's actions were obviously successful. This time Yinzhen went to Yuqing Palace, and firstly, he learned some things and wanted to get along with Yinreng to see if he could do something. In addition, he was "by the way" to tell the prince a thing, something he had just known, and what he said in a letter sent by his disciple Nian Gengyao to present to his residence.

...

"Oh? Yu Zhong started a war with someone again?" After hearing what Yinzhen said, Yinreng's expression did not change much, and he looked like an outsider's attitude that was not related to his own affairs.

"Yes. I heard that it was a big victory, and the shogun general who was in charge of Japan was so angry that he even lost millions of taels of gold!" Yinzhen sighed.

"Millions of taels of gold?" Yinreng took a breath. Since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, it has not been a loss for any war since it entered the pass. The bigger the war, the bigger the compensation. How could it have ever been like this? Millions of taels of gold, more than ten million taels of silver, Yu Zhong really can do this... Is Japan really that rich? While Yinreng was secretly talking, he did not expect that Nian Gengyao did not tell Yinzhen completely, but retained a part. Not only did he not tell the real spoils that cost more than two million taels of gold, nor did he say that he had burned Nagasaki and Yu Zhong forcibly extorted all the way. In addition, Nian Gengyao did not tell Yinzhen that he was calling Lan Li to deal with the Satsuma Domain and occupy Kyushu Island. That was the real big pot of vegetables! At that time, the spoils would not be just two million taels of gold.

"That's right." Yinzhen nodded, confirming the news.

"Haha, it's not bad. More than 10 million taels of silver, that old guy Wu Jiamo is so happy now!" Yinreng smiled with a full expression.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid that Wu Jiamo is not the only one who is happy..." Yinzhen said.

"What does it mean?" Yinreng asked.

"As far as I know, the Ministry of Revenue seems to have some silver accounts that are inconsistent! Many officials... borrowing debts became a trend!" Yinzhen bowed to Yinreng and said.

"Officials borrow money? Oh, I know this... Emperor Ama knew that my Qing officials' salary was not high, so he specially ordered officials to borrow treasury silver for their own expenses. This is a benevolent government." Yinreng said in confusion.

"The Emperor Ama's move is indeed a 'benevolent government'. However, the Crown Prince, I'm afraid that this benevolent government has been unrecognized by many unworthy officials. Although I don't know much, I heard that most of the money from the Ministry of Revenue has been borrowed by these people." Yinzhen said solemnly.

"What did you say? I borrowed most of the money...!? Are you saying it true?" Yinreng was shocked and asked with a frown. What is the concept of most of the money in the Ministry of Revenue? How could he not know as the crown prince?

"I just heard people say this. There is no evidence! However, there is no wind and waves. I believe the actual situation of the Ministry of Revenue will not be too good." Yinzhen said again.

"This..." Yinreng thought about it, waved his hand to Yinzhen and said, "You should not tell anyone about this. The emperor is very careful and I believe he has noticed these things for a long time. We should not stand up casually."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Yinzhen bowed his hand a little anxiously, but before he could speak, Yinreng waved his hand to stop him. Then, Yinreng pretended to be unhappy and said to him: "I told you a long time ago, don't always be the 'Crown Prince', "Crown Prince', is the word "Second Brother" so difficult to express?"

"This, there is a difference between the king and the minister..." Yinzhen clasped his fists, and saw Yinreng's face sinking again, so he had to bow and scream:

"Second brother!"

"That's right! You and I are taught by Emperor Ama to become adults. The friendship is unusual. Why do you always forget the difference between a 'monarch and a minister'?" Yinreng smiled with satisfaction and said to Yinzhen: "I know all the things you said. Although I don't worry, I will find an opportunity to tell Emperor Ama, but today it may not work." Yinreng turned around and picked up a few memorials from the desk and put them in his hand to weigh them, and then said: "... Emperor Ama sent someone to bring some memorials to me to review, but it made me very busy."

"... Since this is the case, I will not disturb His Highness the Crown Prince. I will leave!" Yinzhen heard the meaning of expelling the guest in Yinreng's words and bowed and said.

"Huh?" Hearing Yinzhen's words, Yinreng's tone rose and looked at him again with anger.

"Oh..." Yinzhen was stunned at first, then immediately reacted, and hurriedly bowed to Yinreng and said, "Second brother is busy first, I will go back first!"

"Well! That's how it's right!..." Yinreng then nodded in satisfaction, then reached out and patted Yinzhen on the shoulder, and said, "Then you go back first. I will look for you if you have something to do!"

"I'm leaving!" Yinzhen did not seem casual because of Yinreng's enthusiasm. He bent and left the study before turning around. After he walked away, a "spooky" sound suddenly came from the study. It took him a long time to stop. Then, Yinreng's vicious voice came out again:

"There was Ma De first, and one Yu Zhong appeared today! You are really capable and have all the civil and military skills!... Humph! So what if the emperor valued you? Since I dared to be an enemy of this prince, I will not let you have a good time!... Humph, Yu Zhong, Yu Zhong, there was the support of the emperor behind Ma De before, and I couldn't do anything to him. However, you shouldn't know if you fight against the Japanese emperor today? Let's go and see if you make meritorious service or suffer this time! Hahaha..."
