After Yinzhen left, Kangxi lost the idea of finding someone to serve him in bed. Looking at Yinzhen's memorial, he thought for a moment and decided to go to Guangzhou to take a look.
Although Jiangnan was beautiful, Emperor Kangxi could distinguish between what was important and what was urgent.
When Yinzhen returned, he looked alright, and Tong Cheng'er was still in the study.
Yinzhen: "It's getting late, why are you still busy?"
Tong Cheng'er was taken aback: "What time is it?"
Yinzhen gave a timeframe, and Tong Cheng'er rubbed her throbbing head. She didn't use her brain often, and suddenly having to use it like this really made her feel dizzy and lightheaded.
"I didn't notice the time."
After saying that, she put her hand down, intending to place a bookmark on it, as she had just been reading some books about the academy.
Yinzhen walked to her side and rubbed her head.
"No rush, take it slow."
Tong Cheng'er said, "These things can't be delayed. Once you have an idea, you should do it immediately. Otherwise, the longer it drags on, the less you'll want to continue."
When you first start planning to do something, you are highly focused and can achieve twice the result with half the effort. If you procrastinate, you will inevitably forget the urge to do it well.
This is Tong Cheng'er's life experience from two lifetimes, although she doesn't have much experience in this life.
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen thought about it and realized that it made sense.
"You're right."
Tong Cheng'er then remembered to ask him about it.
"What did Father Emperor say?"
"Father Emperor attaches great importance to this matter. As for what exactly will be done, it seems that Father Emperor intends to train the navy, but there is no specific conclusion yet."
Tong Cheng'er: "It would be good if Father Emperor would take this seriously."
The real danger is not taking it seriously.
Moreover, training a navy is a good thing! When the navy is well-trained, pirates and Japanese pirates will not dare to run rampant, and perhaps the policy of closing the country to the outside world will not exist.
The next day, when everyone thought that Kangxi was going on another trip, he suddenly announced that he would set off for Guangzhou the following day.
Because it was so sudden, many people were caught off guard. Interestingly, the Eighth Prince was planning to win over a few people, but he had to give up because of this unexpected trip.
The Eighth Prince couldn't help but wonder if his father, the Emperor, knew about his actions and was deliberately giving him a warning!
Thinking this through, the Eighth Prince suddenly realized that he had been getting a little carried away lately.
So he decided to tone it down a bit.
The Eighth Prince's unrequited love was not entirely in vain.
Everyone was speculating about why he suddenly wanted to go to Guangzhou, and there were many guesses, but no one could guess the key point.
Only Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er knew that Kangxi went to Guangzhou probably to check on the situation there.
Guangzhou has a large port where many overseas merchant ships dock, making it a place where pirates and Japanese pirates are most rampant.
The trip to Guangzhou was primarily for business, so we made almost no stops along the way. By the time the main group arrived in Guangzhou, it was almost winter, but the area wasn't very cold due to its location.
Upon arriving in Guangzhou, Yinzhen never stopped working, spending every day investigating the seven matters concerning the pirates and local officials.
Since he discovered the matter, Emperor Kangxi naturally entrusted it to him.
However, for some reason, Kangxi also asked him to bring the Eighth Prince along, saying it was to give him some practice.
Yinzhen had no objections and spent his days running around with the Eighth Prince, investigating the Guangzhou pirates.
"Fourth Brother, what do you need me to do?"
Yinzhen had no interest in suppressing the Eighth Prince, so he handed him a list and asked him to verify it.
The Eighth Prince took the list and looked at the names. They were all well-known figures in the area. He asked, "Can you verify these people?"
"Fourth Brother, are you sure?"
Yinzhen didn't mean to play a trick on him, but the Eighth Prince felt like he was being played.
Yinzhen: "I have already had someone screen them. The people on the list have some unusual ways of getting rich. They seem normal at first glance, but upon closer inspection, they are quite problematic. Let's investigate further. I feel that some of them might be useful."
The Eighth Prince wanted to say something, but looking at Yinzhen's expressionless face, he swallowed his words.
If you want to investigate, then investigate. This isn't his responsibility, and if you can't find anything, he won't be held accountable.
Thinking this way, the Eighth Prince felt much better, picked up the list, and left.
Yinzhen naturally saw the suspicion in the Eighth Prince's eyes. After he left, Yinzhen couldn't help but think that the current Eighth Prince was far inferior to the Prince Lian in his dream who stirred up the waters of the court!
The methods are immature, and the acting is not rigorous enough.
Even though you don't want to, you force yourself to.
Yinzhen did suspect there was something wrong with that list, but it wasn't mandatory for him to do it. If he didn't want to do it, he could have changed it. He just didn't say anything, so he couldn't be blamed.
Yinzhen then began to look at the files on the desk. The files contained the backgrounds of various people, and by looking closely at their backgrounds, one could discover quite a few issues.
For example, the two files in Yinzhen's hands show that although the two were distant on the surface, the files show that they had quite a lot of interaction.
Moreover, although they were distant from each other, as the story unfolded, it gave the impression that they were helping each other out.
As I looked around and scribbled, the sky gradually darkened.
Tong Cheng'er asked from the other side, "Is Master still in the study?"
"Reporting to Madam, the Master has not left his study since lunch today."
Tong Cheng'er sighed. This person really does become so busy that he doesn't care about anything else.
He doesn't care about his stomach, but Tong Cheng'er can't ignore it.
"Prepare some dinner, I'll bring it over later."
"Yes, Madam."
The meal was ready, and Tong Cheng'er got up and went into the study.
When Yinzhen heard the voice, he frowned and looked up. When he saw that it was her, he relaxed.
