Life Winner Training Guide

, he also quickly gained the support of the officials who were frightened by the fireworks at that time because of this action, and completely secured the throne.

However, correspondingly, some rules that seemed different from the normal system because of the existence of fireworks did not disappear with it, such as the emperor and even the ministers' disregard for the harem, the strange training system of the princes, the emperor's excessive power, the weakness of the cabinet and the censorate, etc., all of which continued the style of many years ago. Of course, no one made trouble when the emperor changed, which was also the product of long-term habit, and it might be the only positive thing.

You Hongyin felt that perhaps some people thought that the disappearance of fireworks was only on the surface, and they might still exist in secret, so they dared not have ulterior motives.

But in fact, the organization of fireworks has indeed been disbanded, and all the information has been sealed in the yellow book library, and gradually no one mentioned it.

This is also the reason why You Hongyin felt that some places were very unreasonable but could not find any clues. Now think about it, the power of habit and deterrence is really strong.

However, the old fireworks have become a pile of old papers. Is it possible for the new fireworks to be revived in the hands of his father? If there is, there will certainly be no relevant records in the Huangce Library.

You Hongyin thinks the probability is not high. Emperor Yang Jian is similar to him as a prince. They are both trapped in the deep palace. There are a lot of people watching them do everything. If they want to do something sneaky, they have to have talents under their command. There are many people who are loyal to Yang Jian, but there are not many who can be used and trusted by this suspicious emperor. First of all, military generals can almost be ruled out. Even if some of them don't mind doing such things for loyalty and power, Yang Jian will not be at ease. Among the people he contacts most now, in addition to palace maids and eunuchs, the most are guards. However, according to You Hongyin's observation and calculation, these three groups are not up to the standard of building a secret fireworks again. On the one hand, they are not capable enough, and on the other hand, if they take action, the relevant movement will inevitably be large, which cannot be concealed or kept secret. It is impossible to achieve the current level of no wind.

After resolving his doubts, You Hongyin no longer had to be too restrained and was ready to do something positive in the court.

You know, under the dual supervision mechanism of the cabinet and the Censorate, the emperor's life would not be too easy, but the current civil and military officials have not yet figured it out. Yes, it is very difficult for You Hongyin to fight against the emperor. He has a natural disadvantage, but it is different with the help of officials.

In the game of power, the relationship between officials and the emperor is actually very complicated. They depend on each other and suppress each other. Everyone wants to get more say. There is a lot to do here.

Over the years, You Hongyin's understanding of court officials is no worse than Yang Jian's. He has done some investigations on resumes, abilities, and personalities. Unfortunately, You Hongyin has not seen all of them in person, because the prince who has just been interning at the court meeting cannot participate. Therefore, the people You Hongyin contacts most on weekdays are the people in the Ministry of Justice. He does not want to be like his elder brother and interact with many officials blatantly.

Now the officials are still much weaker than the emperor. You Hongyin decided to support the officials while making his father, who likes to stir up trouble, go a little crazier. Maybe he could find an opportunity to take him down in one fell swoop.

He was best at using the power of others to defeat them.

He threw the information brought back by Xiao Yinzi directly into the charcoal basin and burned it. You Hongyin planned to go see Manager Wang.

Seeing this, Huan'er quickly took a white mink cloak and put it on him: "Your Highness, it's cold outside. Don't go out without a cloak."

Huan'er was a maid promoted by You Hongyin himself. She was not good-looking, so she was originally assigned to the Imperial Kitchen to be a rough maid. You Hongyin met her once. Although she was not good-looking, she was quite smart. She actually knew to learn skills from the Imperial Kitchen. She planned to support herself with her skills when she was old enough to leave the palace in the future. She had a very good plan for her life.

You Hongyin felt that he was in need of a personal maid with good skills, so he asked her to come over.

Yue'er and Xin'er, the two mothers, have been released from the palace to marry. Now, the maids and eunuchs around him are almost all selected and trained by him in the past ten years. There are also some spies among them, but basically they are put in to appease various forces. They are all in some rough positions on the periphery, and they are not close to him and have no personal freedom. The rules of his bamboo garden are very strict.

As for whether there is anything wrong with the remaining people, You Hongyin believes that there are not many people who can escape his eyes.

"Well, today is a day off. Xi'er, go to your mother and tell her that I will go there in the afternoon." After giving an order, You Hongyin went directly to see Wang Guanshi.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Xi'er is another maid around You Hongyin. She is capable and was promoted after Yue'er and Xin'er left the palace. At the same time, she has another identity. She was originally sent to the palace by the Exhibition Silver Chamber of Commerce. On weekdays, she will be responsible for handling some news sent by the Exhibition Silver Chamber of Commerce from secret channels. She is also the only person who knows that Xiao Yinzi has a close relationship with him.

You Hongyin's requirements for her were completely different from Huan'er's, and he spared no effort in training her, treating her as a disciple.

When they arrived at Eunuch Wang's residence, they smelled a smell of medicine, and the eunuch who was accompanying them carefully advised: "Your Highness, you are worth a lot of money, so don't take risks in such a place."

You Hongyin said: "I have been going in and out of the library to read books, and I have asked Steward Wang some questions. I have been carefully cared for by him for more than ten years. What does it mean to visit him when he is seriously ill?"

The eunuchs around him were silent. You Hongyin could feel their inner shock.

"Your Highness, you are here." Xiao Yinzi came at some point and saluted.

You Hongyin told the entourage not to follow him, and he followed Xiao Yinzi into the house.

After entering the house, Xiao Yinzi immediately said: "Your means of winning people's hearts are getting more and more shameless."

You Hongyin said: "These are just the facts. I just said them out loud. How can it be said that I am winning people's hearts?"

"A gentleman would not act like this." Xiao Yinzi glanced at him.

"I have never said that I am a gentleman. Moreover, a gentleman does not do everything right. At least I think it is not a bad thing to speak openly about what you have done, but a kind of communication, communication between people."

"Sophistry."

"How is the situation of Manager Wang?" You Hongyin changed the subject.

Xiao Yinzi said, "President Zhao said that it will take about half a month."

You Hongyin was powerless to help with birth, old age, sickness and death, and could only say, "My condolences."

Chapter 132: The Great Mountains and Rivers (VIII)

After seeing Steward Wang and talking to Xiao Yinzi for a while, You Hongyin went directly to Concubine Zhuang's place.

Coincidentally, Princess Wanqing was there too.

Wanqing was Yang Yizhan's sister, four years younger than him, and ranked fourth among the princesses. She looked very similar to Concubine Zhuang, and was a beautiful woman who was pitiful and charming.

Yang Yizhan loved this sister in both of his lives. In addition to blood ties, it was also because this sister was the type that Yang Yizhan liked. Unfortunately, Concubine Zhuang and Princess Wanqing did something that killed Yang Yizhan.

But now, neither of them has done anything, and You Hongyin is not bad for them. After all, they are blood relatives.

"What are mother and sister whispering about?" As soon as he entered the room, You Hongyin saw the mother and daughter sitting very close to each other, with serious faces and no one knowing what they were discussing.

Seeing him come in, the two immediately separated. Concubine Zhuang drank a sip of tea calmly, while Wanqing pulled a handkerchief with her jade hands to half cover her face, and said with a smile: "Brother has been in the Ministry of Justice for a long time, why do you have to ask about everything? Mother and I are talking about little secrets between women, so I won't tell you."

You Hongyin smiled and said, "Naughty." Then he asked Concubine Zhuang if she had eaten well and slept well recently, which was considered a family conversation.

There was nothing else to talk about between him and the women in the harem except family conversations, but the more they talked, the more You Hongyin felt strange. Although Concubine Zhuang was normal, You Hongyin felt that she was weighing something on her mind.

Although his mother's palace fighting skills are not top-notch, they are definitely enough in the harem. At least most of the spies of other people cannot get in, and he has a group of forces in his hands. He can know a little about the movements of other people in the palace, and others have never succeeded in framing him.

This kind of fighting has been going on for a long time, and Concubine Zhuang has become accustomed to it and generally does not worry about such things. If it involves things outside the palace, why not discuss it with him. Thinking puzzled, You Hongyin kept an eye on it and prepared to find out what was going on.

Concubine Zhuang and Wanqing are hiding something from him, and it may be related to the inexplicable involvement of Yang Yizhan in the second life.

Although it is still seven or eight years away from the incident, the ice is not frozen in a day. Whether the "killing the king" is her own decision or instigated by others, Concubine Zhuang is not a fool. She will not act easily without preparation for a long time.

However, before You Hongyin left, Concubine Zhuang hesitated for a long time and finally said, "Mao Nuer, your grandpa has not been feeling well these days. Your mother cannot visit him in person. Please go and visit him on your behalf."

You Hongyin naturally agreed.

It seems that the things that Concubine Zhuang was worried about were related to Yao Guangqing, the Minister of War.

Here we have to talk about Yao Guangqing.

He is the old Minister of War. Since Concubine Zhuang entered the palace and gave birth to the prince, she was promoted to Concubine Zhuang, and Yao Guangqing was promoted from a minister to a minister. He has been sitting in this position for more than 20 years, and it seems that he will continue to sit until retirement.

There are six ministries in Huangguo. Although the minister is only the second rank, he is directly responsible to the emperor and has no other superiors. The rank is not the highest, but it is a real position of power. In addition to the cabinet, the six ministers are the highest life goals of all civil officials.

Among them, the Ministry of War is in charge of the selection of military officers and military registration, military equipment, military orders, post stations and other affairs across the country. It is a department that deals with military generals more often, and it also needs to work closely with the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Works.

Although Yao Guangqing is the Minister of War, he is not a military general, but a regular imperial examination. He has served in the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue. He was transferred to the rear to work in the Ministry of War. He can be regarded as an experienced old fox in the officialdom. He really only knows a little about military affairs. It is unlikely that he can lead troops to fight, but he has his own reasons for sitting in this position for more than 20 years.

Yao Guangqing and Fan Gang, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, are both Jinshi of the same year. The two were competing with each other in the past, and they are still at odds with each other today. Yao Guangqing has a minister under him who happens to be of the same clan as Fan Gang. The prince born to Yao Guangqing's daughter, Concubine Zhuang, went to the Ministry of Justice for internship. This kind of thing can only be done by the one sitting on the throne.

You Hongyin was not interested in the affairs of the Ministry of Justice because Fan Gang, the head of the Ministry of Justice, was submissive on the surface, but in fact, he did not give him any opportunity to get in touch with practical affairs. He threw a bunch of old files to him, all of which were civil affairs. Even if You Hongyin read those things as folk tales, they were actually useless. At most, he understood where murders occurred decades ago, and the reason was that women in the family cheated on men.

As for the idea of ​​solving a few cases with great power to make the Minister of Justice look at himself as a prince with new eyes, it would not be so unrealistic in the drama. So You Hongyin did not spend much thought on Fan Gang. The efficiency was not very high, and the income might not be as good as the investment. The profit was too low.

Although there were people in the Ministry of Justice who didn't get along with Fan Gang, they also didn't like the prince who was sent by the emperor to practice. You Hongyin found that there were indeed experts in criminal cases and many smart people, but these people had their own tempers and were simple officials, so they were not successful in the Ministry of Justice. Even if You Hongyin could use them, it would be after he ascended the throne. By then, he could make them serve wholeheartedly without much effort, so he naturally didn't want to spend a lot of effort now. As for those people who were not good at flattering, You Hongyin felt that they were useless for the time being and didn't need to be provoked.

This is why You Hongyin was not interested in the Ministry of Justice.
