Qing Dynasty: After Kangxi Kowloon heard my voice

Chapter 14: The Battle for Succession

Wen Yao curled her lips. She didn't laugh at the end. This matter was funny but not funny at all. It was very infuriating and helpless. [According to the gossip of this little PHS, Jiang Chenying became an official at the age of 70. Because of his blurred vision, he was deceived by Li Pan and died of anger after being imprisoned.]

She didn't know what to say. Was Jiang Chenying wrong? Yes.

If this incident had not been exposed, how innocent would those poor children who were rejected be? After years of bankrupting their families for a young man to participate in the imperial examination, the result was like that.

But is Jiang Chenying innocent? Innocent, but not innocent.

Wen Yao thought that Jiang Chenying died of anger in the end, probably because he blamed himself. It was not because of Li Pan's deception, but because he himself caused so many children from poor families to almost lose the opportunity to become officials.

If you don't have the ability, don't take on so much work, as you will end up hurting others and yourself.

Wen Yao saw that there was more below, and she squinted her eyes at the line of small words, [Please earn gossip points, get gossip from others, and you can unlock deeper gossip~ Phew! Nothing is gained in vain! ]

Wen Yao didn't want to watch it anymore, but she couldn't help but be curious. Could there be some injustice involved?

Yinzhen walked in from outside, "What are you thinking about? I have been here for a long time, where are they? Are those servants negligent?" The main point is that you can't find any complaints about it. Yinzhen's eyes are somewhat proud, he has also made progress!

Wen Yao looked up at Yinzhen and smiled decisively, "Master, what are you talking about? Madam, take Chunxiaqiudong to sort out my dowry and Master's storehouse. From now on, I will be in charge of it and we have to sort it out thoroughly."

He stood up and pulled Yinzhen to his side, "I haven't seen you say anything in such a long time since I came in. What's going on? Do you still like to eavesdrop? Hey... I'll make sure you don't have anything to eavesdrop on!"

Yinzhen: ...How on earth can you appear to be flattering on the outside but despise me in your heart?

"Warehouse? There are no managers or maids in my warehouse. Just ask them to give you the account book. They are all people left by my mother." Yinzhen didn't care much about it. "What were you thinking about just now? Why were you so absent-minded?"

[Account book? Haha, those servants are just trying to cheat people like you who are stupid and rich. Who else should they cheat? It’s like eggs outside are only two or three cents each, and now they are not called eggs but chickens.] Wen Yao didn’t know much at all. She only knew it from Qing Dynasty palace dramas, but she didn’t finish watching them all because her hairstyle was ugly and her clothes were monotonous, so ugly that it hurt her eyes!

"This needs to be investigated thoroughly. If something goes wrong in the future, you can't let me take the blame. Don't worry, Master. I'll tell you after everything is sorted out," Wen Yao smiled and sat down. [You can't let me bear the reputation of being mean alone! ]

Yinzhen originally wanted to get information about Li Pan from his wife, but he heard other things instead: two or three cents for an egg?

impossible!

The tenth brother likes to eat fried eggs, so he knows very well that an egg is thirty cents each, how could it be two or three cents?

However, Yinzhen did not say anything. He silently wrote the matter down and asked Qian Bao to investigate the matter later. He had some thoughts in his heart. Perhaps there were traces of what the fourth brother did after he ascended the throne. Perhaps he really shouldn't have brought his tenth brother with him and only remembered to cause trouble for the fourth brother, forgetting his own surname, Aisin-Gioro.

"Send someone to inform me when you have been sorting things out for a long time. I am responsible for everything. I also have the support of my father and mother behind me," Yinzhen looked at his wife and patted her hands. Maybe he could not protect her in front of the emperor, but at least as long as he had the ability, he would not let anyone bully her.

Yinzhen was worried that the Emperor Father could hear what Wen Yao was thinking, because so far, the Emperor Father had not summoned him at all.

"You haven't told me, Madam, what you were thinking about just now?" Yinzhen thought about what he had just heard and continued to ask in a roundabout way.

"Nothing, I just heard a servant say that there was a cheating case in the provincial examination in Shuntian, and I remembered hearing people say that old ginger has no spicy taste, but young Li has a sweet taste." Wen Yao looked at Yinzhen with a curious face, "Master, do you know about this?"

Yinzhen combined what he had just heard with what his tenth brother had told him in his previous life, and it was basically the same as what Wen Yao had just seen on the gossip page, except that the latter part was missing. After all, it was not even February yet!

Yinzhen thought for a moment and told Wenyao what he knew. Yinzhen stood up and looked outside, and told the servants not to get close. Then he sat down and said, "This Jiangnan Dao Censor Lu You is my eldest brother's man, and this Li Pan is the prince's man, and has a relationship with the family behind Li Jia. Everything Li Pan did was done by Soetu, and the prince acquiesced."

This is the game between the eldest brother and the prince, but they would never have thought that this world belongs to the emperor!

In the royal family, there is no father and son, but rather the king and his subjects first, and then the father and his son. Without the distinction between the king and his subjects, how can there be the father-son affection among the people?

[Ding! Congratulations to the host Wen Yao for unlocking a deep gossip~]

Wen Yao's eyes lit up immediately. She could unlock it no matter what the eldest brother and the prince were. But Yinzhen was beside her. At this time, Yinzhen stood up and asked, "Do you want some milk tea?"

Wen Yao shook her head, "Master, do you want to drink?"

"Well, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some food. Wait for me for a while," Yinzhen walked out decisively and came back in a short while.

Wen Yao decisively clicked on the last post she had just read, scrolled to the end and clicked to unlock more details about the Shuntian County Examination, only to see a simple square box with black text on a white background pop up. The text inside was very simple, [Lu You, the Censor of Jiangnan Province, is a man of the Eighth Prince Aixinjueluo Yinsi. ]

Yinzhen stood at the door, his pupils shrank slightly. Lu You was Bage's man? He was Bage's man?

Yinzhen's eyes turned red, he wanted to laugh out loud, he had no idea about this. He remembered that in his previous life he often threatened officials, and mynah brother had said good things for him, so this was the reason!

Do not!

Lu You, the censor of Jiangnan Province, dared to speak out when encountering problems, was not afraid of violence, did not avoid suspicion and resentment, and handled things impartially. How could he be with the mynah bird?

Even though he had been following the starling in his previous life, he now thought about what kind of people followed the starling in the past? How could they do practical things like that?

Yinzhen slowly regained his composure. His past life was over and he shouldn't think about it anymore. However, the more he knew, the more he hated his past life and felt himself to be ridiculous, pathetic and lamentable!

However, Yinzhen also clearly understood that the thing in his wife's hand could only reveal the course of certain events, but he had no idea about the psychological calculations of the people involved and the reasons behind them.

This person had little interaction with the eight brothers in his previous life, but he seemed to be quite popular among these princes. Perhaps... Yinzhen did not live in vain in his previous life. He had a rough guess in his mind. Perhaps this was also the way for some practical court officials to be officials...

[Lu You, the Imperial Censor of Jiangnan Province? Isn't he one of Yongzheng's men? He seems to be a close friend. I remember seeing something saying that they were brothers in the underworld!]
