Three days later, just after entering Zhili territory, Yinhe discovered that several suspicious figures were following the carriage. These people had been tracking them from Tianjin. Erlu, for the sake of the enemy, had specifically reported this to the sides of all four carriages.
The twins didn't say anything after hearing Erlu's words. Yin carefully observed the children's movements and chose to remain silent.
"Si Si, those people must be the ones sent from Tianjin?" Qingyan asked curiously.
Since leaving the naval port, everything was no longer their concern. They no longer managed the affairs of the naval port and handed over all power to the new governor.
In the Crown Prince's eyes, Yin and Yin must have secretly made contact with the rights of the military port; otherwise, why would they be so calm?
After secretly hiding someone in the Tianjin naval port, he gradually undermined the commander's power until finally, Kangxi had no choice but to transfer the commander to protect the talented general who commanded the navy.
"Definitely." Yin showed Qingyan a memorial with Kangxi's comments, which actually recorded that the commander of the Zhili naval port, who was the previous commander of the Tianjin naval port, had all his crimes fabricated by the Crown Prince's faction in order to obtain the position of commander.
Oh My God!
Qingyan exclaimed in shock. The Crown Prince had really gone all out this time. If Kangxi hadn't taken action in advance, the two commanders they were looking for might have become victims of his blade.
"Fourth Prince, when did Father Emperor receive the news?" Qingyan calculated the time and concluded that the two commanders should have been transferred from their posts two days before leaving the capital.
"The imperial edict was issued ten days ago, but the decree was only issued two days before departure." Yin noticed that Kangxi had taken precautions and instructed the people in the Sticky Rod Office to remain silent.
Qingyan thought to himself that Kangxi must have acted swiftly enough, otherwise, it would have caused a real mess.
"After receiving the secret decree, all the female relatives of the commanders were borrowed by the people of Yuelai Inn and arrived at the Zhili military port three days ago, so you don't need to worry!" Yin stared at the names of the commanders. Qingyan suddenly remembered the morning newspaper he had seen that morning. The managers of Zhili had been busy with this matter recently.
He breathed a sigh of relief and kissed her rosy cheek. This time, he really had to thank Qingyan.
"Little darling, thank you so much!" Yin relaxed.
Upon seeing this memorial, Yin even considered the issue of the loyalty of the commanders. If their families were manipulated, who could guarantee their absolute loyalty?
"Fourth Brother, I told you, I would definitely help you!" Qingyan smiled.
Qingyan was able to handle the infighting among the women, although she was a bit clumsy when it came to scheming and needed Yin's help. When it came to rescuing people, no one was more skilled than Qingyan.
In recent years, the Crown Prince has become increasingly suppressive of the other princes, and Qingyan has rescued quite a few people from the Crown Prince's threats.
"Little darling, gather all those people together. Some of them know how to make firearms. Father Emperor will secretly arrange for them to be placed in another location after autumn." Yin chose to save people according to Kangxi's wishes.
He understood that Kangxi had entrusted him with this debt of gratitude for saving lives, and that if Yinzhen needed these people in the future, they would be even more loyal.
"Is it all of them?" Qingyan arranged for these people to be settled separately. If one place was exposed, all of them would be wiped out, which would be terrible.
She didn't want her beloved Yuanmingyuan to be destroyed again, so she tried her best to change the outcome in her own way.
"No, two-thirds of the people, and the most proficient third, have all been dispersed. Father Emperor's intention is for these people to study on their own first!" Yin leaned close to Qingyan's ear and told her when they would take action.
Qingyan rarely touches upon court politics. He hides these useful people. On the surface, Yin will not say what they do, but in private, Yin will tell them everything.
"Fourth Prince, should I write back now and have them prepare? Or should I wait until we return to the capital to deal with it?" Qingyan looked up at Yin and asked.
Yin frowned and considered Qingyan's plan.
"We'll deal with it after we get back to Beijing. If we send messages back while we're out and about, there's a chance they might leak!" The two shops are attracting too much attention. If the shopkeepers help Qingyan with his business, someone might be watching them.
They had just entered the Yuelai Inn in Zhili and booked the entire courtyard when they discovered that they were being followed.
"Once we arrive at Yuelai Inn, we don't need to pay attention to those people. Let's just go out and explore!" Yin planned to make it more open and present it as sightseeing. Wouldn't that be better?
"Is this alright? Father Emperor is going to Qiumi, and we're playing outside... Don't you think that's a bit abnormal?" Qingyan felt a little helpless.
“What’s wrong with that? The Crown Prince is very suspicious of his brothers. The officials in the south must have heard the rumors. My brother and I came out to confirm the truth of those rumors for them!” Yin had planned it all out long ago.
Not all officials in the south supported the Crown Prince. Yinsi had many supporters, and the Cao family firmly stood on Yinsi's side. Therefore, Kangxi would not allow the Cao family to continue to develop.
"Your schemes are quite elaborate, but how come the Crown Princess is still able to remain calm?" Qingyan asked, looking at Yin.
The Crown Princess seemed to have lost all hope and was actually preparing to stay with Shulu.
"How could we not be able to maintain stability? Shi Bingwen retired early on, which can be considered a statement to the Crown Prince that he will not become a maternal relative!" Yin sneered.
The Hesheli clan had helped the Crown Prince so much, using the entire clan's strength to protect him and ensure his safe upbringing. Yet, the Crown Prince showed no gratitude. When Emperor Kangxi became suspicious of the Crown Prince because of the Hesheli clan, the Crown Prince, without saying a word, pushed the Hesheli clan into the abyss.
Many officials, having followed the Crown Prince for many years and witnessed how the Crown Prince treated Songgotu, were filled with panic and began to arrange for their children to find their next path in life.
"The Crown Princess is very low-key. Some time ago, the Third Prince's wife provoked the Crown Princess, but the Crown Princess didn't say anything. If it were any other time, would the Crown Princess not punish the Third Prince's wife?" When Qingyan attended gatherings, she would occasionally observe the actions of the Crown Princess and others, and would often communicate with Yin.
“We can’t punish him. Dong E Peng Chun still has some prestige in the military camp. How could the Crown Princess not be afraid when her backing is no longer strong? For Shu Lu’s sake, the Crown Princess will be very careful,” Yin explained to Qing Yan.
The car stopped, and Yin and Qingyan got out. As soon as they entered the hall, Yin and Qingyan received a note from the Dragon Guard, deciding to stay in Zhili for ten days before setting off again.
