What surprised Li Shi was not a rumor, but something that Chen Wance was about to do, and Hunan Governor Ye Jiusi spread rumors, just to pave the way for this matter.

What Chen Wance wants to do is not enough to shake Li Xian, because Chen Wance is just giving Yinzhen a front stop, and the real drama is on Yinzhen.

The British and Chinese troops seized Hengzhou, and Yanxin relentlessly dug trenches in Huangshawan to defend it, what is the picture? Just waiting for Yinzhen's army to go south and confront the Tiger Ben army? Not necessarily, but also for Yinzhen's plan.

What is this fourteenth elder brother going to do? Crying holes! Come to Shigu Academy to cry hole! Strictly speaking, it should be called mourning, which is also inspired by the crying hole action advocated by the "Righteous Qi" newspaper. Chen Wance took the first step, and with the reputation of Li Guangdi, a master of science, who loved his disciples, he raised the morale of the scholars gathered in the Shigu Academy, and then Yinzhen came forward and staged a big show in the Shigu Academy.

The Stone Drum Academy is less than a mile northeast of Zhanyuemen, and ordinary small cannons can hit it, this matter is definitely not a suggestion from his subordinates, but a bold move that Yinzhen came up with by patting his head. He wanted to take advantage of the siege of the city by the army to personally go to the Shigu Academy to mourn the Confucian Taoism destroyed in the land of Yinghua.

Boldness is secondary, and Yinzhen's emphasis on the "Taoism" of Confucian scholars made Li Xian feel that he had ignored the potential of this person. In the original history, Yinzhen only showed a certain talent in military affairs, defeated Lingdun Dobu, restored Tibet Province, and advised Kangxi to slow down the attack on Alabutan, which is the degree of "not confused" in military decision-making. Other than that, he didn't show anything anymore, and he fell silent early because Yongzheng won the throne.

Before Li Xi faced off with Yinzhen in Yizhang, as far as military affairs are concerned, Yinzhen still seems immature, so Li Xi doesn't care much about this person. But now seeing his miraculous stroke, he suddenly became vigilant, this guy's way is really Kangxi's way, if the time comes, it may not be a little Kangxi.

Why does Li Xi think so?

"People's hearts, although the general's move is risky, he can win the hearts of the world's soldiers! Wan Ce also figured it out, and no longer persuaded the general, when it was extraordinary, he had to be resolute and do extraordinary things. ”

Outside Jingzhou City, Chen Wance said goodbye to Yinzhen who saw him off, and Yinzhen actually bowed to the end.

"I hope that Mr. will say hello, Yinzhen doesn't want the emperor to be worried, and when this matter is over, Yinzhen will report to the emperor by himself."

The two bowed to each other, Yinzhen carefully admonished, and Chen Wance showed a clear smile.

"The general can rest assured, this matter is also known to Wan Ce, Ye Jiusi, Yanxin and others, and he is especially guarding against the officials of Hunan County, especially the prefect of Changsha......"

Shen Jing, the prefect of Changsha, is a member of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, Chen Wance pointed out this, and Yinzhen smiled with relief.

"The name of the great general who sacrificed himself to protect the Taoist system will definitely move the world's scholars."

Chen Wance said this again, Yinzhen waved his hand slightly, but the smile on his face did not decrease.

is bold, bold, especially people's hearts, and attaches great importance to Han people, which is almost the same as Kangxi when he was young, which makes Li Xian faintly worried in his heart.

He has turned the tide of history in another direction, after Kangxi, who will be the emperor of the Qing Kingdom? Must it still be Yongzheng? This is really hard to say, look at the current Kangxi and Yinzhen are gradually estranged because of Li Shi, Yinzhen's political life has also changed greatly because of him Li Shi, it is difficult to guarantee that Kangxi will pass on the position to Yinzhen.

In the folk romance, the change of "passed on to the fourteenth prince" to "passed on to the fourth prince" probably does not exist, but Kangxi's intention to pass on the throne to Yinzhen should be true.

The choice of the two brothers, Yinzhen and Yinzhen, as far as Li Xian knew in his previous life, the former had too many advantages. One is young, the second is surnamed Kangxi himself, and the third is experience in commanding an army. In the previous life, many people regarded Yinzhen, the "idle king", as forbearance for a long time, which was also an overinterpretation. Kangxi didn't give Yinzhen too many opportunities to experience military and political affairs, it was all trivial things, and he also had a clear understanding of his irascible and paranoid surname.

Of course, this does not mean that Kangxi had already set a candidate for the storage position before his death, but in the original history, if Yinzhen and Yinzhen were both in Beijing when Kangxi died, it is really difficult to say whether Yongzheng can be "positive". After all, in the matter of mourning Confucianism in this Shigu Academy, Yinzhen's thirst for storage positions can already be clearly seen.

It is now the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi, and there are still five years for Kangxi to kick his legs, according to Li Xian's own plan, five years is not enough to completely overthrow the Manchu Dynasty, and the Qing court is still there. If Yinzhen is the successor at that time, what will be the situation?

Li Xian has been thinking about this question for a long time, and he feels that it is difficult to grasp. Although Yinzhen may be a little Kangxi, but judging from the mourning action he planned, he is more courageous than Lao Kangxi, and he also attaches more importance to people's hearts, and the collusion with the cynics under his rule is also tighter.

At this time, he began to examine his previous decision, that is, he could not let Yongzheng take the position. Yongzheng, who was known in his previous life, was ruthless, harsh in governance, and focused on practical results. Measures such as the Military Aircraft Department and the Secret Folding Affair brought the Manchu imperial power to its peak, which was a correction to the legacy of Kangxi's "benevolent rule", and made the Manchu rule carry out an internal transformation and make the foundation more stable. It was a good emperor for the Manchus, but it was a great scourge for China. At first, Yinzhen came out of Guangdong Qincha, and Li Zhen's first reaction was to kill him.

But now the situation is different, the status is different, and the angle of thinking about the problem has begun to change, Li Xianxin feels something, is it really a good thing not to let Yongzheng succeed to the throne? Thinking about it from this line of thought, Li Xi came to the conclusion that Yongzheng's ascension to the throne was the most beneficial to Yinghua and his great cause of rebellion.

Why did Li Shi's mind turn 180 degrees?

First of all, Li Xi understands Yinzhen's surname and wrist too thoroughly, just like he knows Kangxi. The reason why he was able to rise in the corner of Kangxi's prosperous era, pry open a gap, and take advantage of the situation depends mostly on his understanding of Kang Mazi.

Secondly, whether it is the original history or the current history, Yongzheng's ascension to the throne has a bit of an unhealthy taste. In the original history, he reigned for thirteen years, and his biggest enemy was his brother, followed by his courtiers. The first point of letting Yinzhen implement the harsh government and strengthen the imperial power is to eliminate the threat to his throne.

And in the current history that has been stirred up beyond recognition by Li Shi, Yongzheng will not only face no fewer enemies, but as long as Li Shi has a heart, there will be more. In contrast, Yinghua was not his main enemy, at least not in the first few years of his reign.

So just sit back and wait for Yongzheng to take the position?

No, history has been changed by Li Shi, Yinzhen's chance to become Yongzheng is much smaller than the original history, although the current Yinzhen has not been stripped of the title of Prince Yong, the Qing court has regarded him and the losing Yinzhen as a kind of person.

"What I'm going to do is actually straighten history, it's ironic."

Li Xi laughed at himself so much, for this reason, he actually had to indulge in the matter of Kangxi's storage position, which was not an ordinary difficulty.

didn't expect to really succeed, with the mind of focusing on harmony, Li Xi had a plan.

"Order the black-clothed guard to bring Li Wei to Hengzhou!"

With his order, a certain "old enemy" who was already moldy in the prison could finally see the light of day again.

Li Shi's mind is already on the future plan, and what "mourning action" is just a small trick for him, which can be solved with a single move.

The interception of Yinzhen's top-secret plan was originally an excellent opportunity to capture this Fuyuan general, the fourteenth prince, in one fell swoop. It's a pity that Li Xian's earlier layout is unfolding, and Yinzhen should not have the opportunity to visit Hengzhou in person.

In mid-March, Chen Wance arrived at the Yanxin camp in Huangshawan, Hengzhou, and was about to venture to "condole" the Confucian scholars gathered in the Shigu Academy, but saw a large number of soldiers rushing out of the city of Hengzhou.

"Mr. Chen, then Li Shi has done it, you are dead."

Yanxin persuaded Chen Wance, who had already taken off his official body, with a discouraged face, during this time, he was frightened every day, and the Tiger Ben Army looked at him across the river in the area of Yanwuping, and from time to time he also launched a few rounds of light artillery, although the camp was protected by trenches, but it was inevitable that the arrow tower was blown down and the tent was shattered. He and He Tenglin, together with an army of 30,000 or 40,000, all felt that it was like a year, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

The appearance of Chen Wance, a military advisor in cloth, made Yanxin feel that he could finally share the pressure, but he didn't want Chen Wance to go to Shigu Academy alone, and said that he was now clothy, and in front of the scholars of a province in Hunan, Li Xi didn't have the cheekiness to arrest people on the spot.

Just as they were about to make the trip, the thief army on the opposite side seemed to know that Chen Wance was coming, first the Tiger Ben Army moved the grass bridge, and then sent a large number of gray-clothed soldiers to rush into the Shigu Academy.

"Good! Good! Today, it is said that the Hunan scholars were martyred in the Shigu Academy, and it is said that Li Shi's reputation for destroying Confucianism will spread all over the world! Plus one more for me! Although tens of millions of people have gone to me! ”

Chen Wance was angry, and despite Yanxin's persuasion, he went up the grass bridge alone. When he arrived at the south bank of the Decao Bridge, Chen Wance shouted awe-inspiring to the Tiger Ben officers and soldiers who were blocking the way, and with countless disdainful eyes, he shook his hand and walked into the Shigu Academy.

"I'm a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, with a heroic and righteous heart, and I can reach thousands of sword soldiers!"

Chen Wance regarded his smooth march as his own righteousness and captured the thief army, but he didn't want these tiger soldiers to receive orders, and the Qing soldiers would kill them when they came, but if they were ordinary scholars, they would ignore it.

After crossing the wooden bridge and going up to Shigu Mountain, Chen Wance found that the situation was different from what he had expected, and those gray-clothed soldiers were just waving wooden sticks and rattan signs to drive away the scholars who were blocking the road of the academy. It was indeed a bloodshed, but only to the extent of a nosebleed.

Seeing those gray-clothed soldiers beating and kicking with sticks, making the readers jump, grabbing one and searching their bodies, holding braids and tying them with other people's money rat tails, groups of scholars were woven like this, and Chen Wance's temples hurt so angrily.

"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated! If you abuse scholars like this, aren't you afraid that heaven will condemn you! ”

Chen Wance grabbed a soldier who was "violent" and asked, the other party stared at him, kicked him to the ground, and held a strange bottle in his hand, the mouth of the bottle was like a lotus canopy, spraying a large mist of water, Chen Wance suddenly felt that his face was hot, and his eyes were feverish.

"Do you believe in God? Phew! ”

Cai Yong, the captain of the Guangzhou County Special Police Team, spat at Chen Wance, who was covering his face on the ground, and then sighed with emotion, this chili water is really aggrieved to use, it is really better to hold a musket and kill as many as you want.

These gray-clothed soldiers were the patrol police and special police officers transferred from Guangzhou and other places, and their predecessors were yamen officers, and their old profession was to sound gongs to open the way and beat people and kidnap people, and they were sent to the academy by Li Shi to maintain order, which was their own duty.
