Chapter 609: Bring it to light
"Ye Keshu, I didn't call you here to punish you. If something really happened, what can I do to save you even if I punish you? I became the son of the Empress Dowager thanks to my second brother. How could my second brother trust me? What are you doing now? If you don't know, you might think that I am trying to fight for the position of Crown Prince! Can you bear the consequences? Or can your Tonggiya clan bear it?"
The Fourth Master had a cold expression on his face. He sat in front of the desk and looked at Ye Keshu who was kneeling on the ground. "You are an elder whom I have always admired. Even the Crown Prince and the Second Brother think highly of you. Do you understand? Now the Tonggiya clan has already aroused public anger?"
Ye Keshu had a miserable look on his face, he knew very well that he would rather bear the hatred of his father and mother, deal with Longkodo and Li Si'er, and even purge the children of the Tonggiya clan, but he couldn't purge them all, after all, there were still many of his elders who couldn't tell right from wrong!
They delusionally call themselves the family of the emperor's uncle, and think that as long as their family does not rebel, nothing will happen to them. They are so high and mighty that they can even surpass the royal family!
The emperor can tolerate one or two, but what about others?
The emperor is already old, how many more years can he live?!
Their clan had been coaxed by the people around them into not knowing east, west, south, or north. He had used both soft and hard tactics, but some people really wouldn't listen. He couldn't use too harsh means to intimidate them. This time it was also a rebellion against him, and also... they were being used by others to instigate a fight in the royal family!
Let’s test the waters with the Tonggiya clan!
"Fourth Master, I know that the Tong Jia family deserves death. I have tried everything I can to deal with the younger generation, but I have tried my best to deal with the elders," Ye Keshu raised his head with embarrassment, "To be honest with you, Fourth Master, I can't let myself be unfilial again for them. I still have children and grandchildren."
"Who do you think is immune to this?" The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes. What did Ye Keshu want to do?
"Fourth Master, I cannot save myself, but I can cut off my own family to survive. The emperor's maternal family is always the Tonggiya clan. After clearing out the others, as long as I can save my family, that's enough!" Ye Keshu looked at the Fourth Master, bit his tongue and said what he was thinking, "I hope Fourth Master will forgive me. This is a method I have no other choice."
The Fourth Master understood that this was Ye Keshu’s true thought, that he wanted to preserve his own lineage!
"Ye Keshu, I can tell you that if anything happens to me, the Tonggiya clan had better all clean up their mess and wait for me. When I go to immortality, you guys can't expect to live in peace either. Go back and tell Tong Guowei that this is what I want. Let him think about how long the emperor can tolerate him. If I don't give you an explanation, I will have to give up my title and make you lose all face. You have to personally apologize to the emperor in the court. Let's talk openly about whether the position of the crown prince is decided by you, the Tonggiya clan!"
The Fourth Master raised his hand to stop Ye Keshu from speaking, "Don't say anything, go back and tell Tong Guowei that I never lie, Ye Keshu, you know me."
"Yes!" Ye Keshu didn't say anything else. Just like what the Fourth Master said, he really understood him, and even many people understood the Fourth Master!
Ye Keshu left, and the Fourth Master's brows were still furrowed. Su Peisheng brought him some hot tea with a worried look on his face, "Master, drink some."
"Give me a cup of boiled water," the Fourth Master glanced at the hot tea and didn't want to drink it. Then he sighed heavily. Ye Keshu was a capable and insightful person, but it was a pity that he respected his elders too much. Such a Ye Keshu could not save the Tonggiya clan!
If the Tonggiya clan were all youngsters, then under the leadership of Ye Keshu they might be able to slowly move closer to the Fucha clan and continue to train them, but unfortunately, they are still far, far behind the Fucha clan!
It's not just a matter of foundation. Foundation is a matter of accumulation over time. Just talking about the academic knowledge and cognition of his children, the Fourth Master can only sigh, what a pity!
But this time he has to show an attitude. Ye Keshu gave him an idea. He has to cut off his tail to survive. Maybe he can use this opportunity to let everyone know that he, Aisin Gioro Yinzhen, has always remembered the friendship of his second brother and is definitely not an ungrateful person who steps on his second brother, the crown prince, to seize the throne!
"Su Peisheng, send someone to keep an eye on Ye Keshu and let him notice it," the Fourth Master instructed Su Peisheng.
Wen Yao in the mansion exclaimed, "How handsome! So domineering!"
She could only sigh that he was worthy of being the Fourth Master who won the battle for the throne in Kowloon. She discovered that the strategies of these princes were sometimes not thought out in advance. They could change at any time, even in just a moment!
Therefore, if a time traveler like her wants to fight with others, unless she is someone who can really strategize, she can only be cannon fodder in their hands!
The brains and methods used by these people are truly incomparable. Take human life for example. They can show pity and sympathy one moment, and completely take someone's life the next!
Even if the person is innocent, killing the chicken to scare the monkey is common!
But they will not take their lives directly, but use the hands of others, or let them be punished for "reasonable" violations of the rules, so that their deaths are reasonable.
Others can't find any fault!
Wen Yao felt that she could keep learning throughout her life. Just take today's incident as an example. Wen Yao felt that the Fourth Master would definitely not really take action. He would probably borrow the help of other people, or the Fourth Master could turn the unfavorable position into a favorable one!
This is why strong people never complain about the environment!
Because they can create their own environment!
At this time, the prince was helping his father deal with some memorials in the Qianqing Palace, and listening to people reporting to his father about the conversation between Ye Keshu and his fourth brother.
"What does Baocheng think?" Kangxi was almost losing interest in this matter. He felt that this was all caused by Concubine Xiaojiu. However, if he assigned work to Concubine Xiaojiu, it would be equivalent to favoring her, which would go against the ancestral rules!
Just don't make any arrangements. Seeing and listening to Lady Xiaojiu being so lazy every day, not using the magical object and always asking about other people's backyard affairs, he gets angry!
If he were Xiaojiu, and his wife could have this thing, he would definitely fight for the throne!
This little Jiu is not doing well!
The more Kangxi thought about this, the angrier he got. What a disappointing pair of kids!
The prince looked at his royal father who was angry over there, and didn't understand why he suddenly got angry. Was it because of Ye Keshu's words?
"Father Your Majesty, I think you should let my fourth brother handle this matter. My fourth brother is somewhat innocent, and I think the fight for the throne is no big deal. It is better to do as my fourth brother said and bring it to the light, so that those who are in the gutter will continue to be trapped in the dark corners and never dare to show up." The prince felt that the last words said by his fourth brother were not bad. If the fight for the throne was really brought to the light, he would not be the one who would suffer. After all, he was not the one who was most taboo about this matter!
