Chapter 224 Yixiu goes out dressed as a man
Yinzhen once thought that women could only be confined to the backyard and practice various skills in order to win the favor of men.
I didn't expect that there is a woman like Yixiu who has such a broad mind.
However, it just so happens that Yixiu is a woman. If she were a man, wouldn’t she become his political enemy?
She is a woman, but she can assist herself.
"Silang, by now the Crown Prince should have vaguely guessed that someone was behind Lord Soetu's incident."
Her eyes lit up, "Why don't we give the prince a copy of this evidence? That way, our trip to Shandong to provide disaster relief won't be so conspicuous."
Yinzhen was thinking the same thing. "I will tell my second brother. He is very angry right now, so telling him will be the best solution. However, I also need to persuade him not to act impulsively."
Yinzhen admired Yixiu more and more.
While Yinzhi and Yinreng were fighting each other, he, the fisherman, benefited.
Although going to Shandong to provide disaster relief was difficult and dangerous, it was an opportunity for him to escape from the vortex of struggle.
After finalizing this matter, Yixiu brought up another matter.
"Silang, I'm worried about you when we go to Shandong. I want to go with you."
Yinzhen subconsciously scolded her, "Nonsense, I'm going to do something serious this time, how can a woman like you go with me?"
As soon as he finished saying this, he remembered his previous thoughts. He clearly felt that Yixiu's political talent and vision were not inferior to those of men.
He softened his tone, "Shandong is now in chaos with bandits and plagues, and there are dangers everywhere. I don't want you to be in danger."
After saying this, Yinzhen realized that he was not unwilling to let Yixiu go, but he did not want Yixiu to be in danger.
Yixiu pursed her lips, a hint of just the right amount of worry in her eyes, "If I go with Silang, Silang will certainly not let me get into danger. If Silang goes alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well in the capital."
The reason why Yixiu wanted to go to Shandong with Yinzhen was naturally because she knew how disaster relief was done in her previous life.
She knows which pitfalls to avoid and how to move forward.
Moreover, in his previous life, Yinzhen did not go to Shandong to provide disaster relief.
Yixiu was afraid that her intervention would change things in this life and put Yinzhen in danger.
For the sake of Honghui's throne, she had to follow Yinzhen and assist him.
Yinzhen sighed and gently persuaded Yixiu: "Even if I am willing to take you, it is impossible for others to remain indifferent when seeing that there are women in my accompanying team. I am not going there for pleasure this time. If there are women in the team, I am afraid that I will receive a large number of impeachment memorials."
"I can dress as a man and no one will raise any objections."
Yixiu took Yinzhen's hand and said, "Just say I'm the eunuch accompanying you."
Yinzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why did she have such wild ideas now?
She was the wife of a nobleman, but she had to dress up as a eunuch.
If others knew about this, wouldn't it be a laughing stock?
But when Yinzhen thought of Yixiu's proposal, he felt excited again.
It seems feasible.
At this time, in Yinzhen's heart, Yixiu was no longer just a simple concubine in the backyard, and he would seriously consider Yixiu's words and suggestions.
"Go change into men's clothes first. It won't be easy for people to see."
Yixiu smiled brilliantly in an instant, and Yinzhen was stunned.
He hadn't seen Yixiu smile like this for a long time.
Yixiu's smile is always so dignified, gentle and generous, just like everyone's legal wife.
At this moment, Yixiu only made Yinzhen feel that she was so lively.
Yixiu quickly changed into men's attire and came over.
She darkened her face, made her eyebrows thicker, and shaded her cheeks to make her face look more three-dimensional.
At first glance, he really looks like a handsome eunuch, not a woman.
Even if you look closely, you will only be confused about her gender.
Although Yinzhen was tempted, he still considered it more carefully.
"However, if you go without a maid this time, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to get around."
Yixiu smiled and said, "I'm bringing Randong with me this time. She looks even better than me in a man's costume."
"It seems you are well prepared." Yinzhen scratched her nose.
Yixiu snorted softly, then said in a delicate voice: "When I think of Shilang being in danger, I feel very anxious."
Although Yinzhen was worried about many things in his mind, it did not hinder his impulsiveness at the moment.
He carried Yixiu to the couch.
-----------------
Before leaving the capital, Yinzhen went to see Yinreng with the evidence.
Yinreng had some suspicions before, and after getting the definite evidence, he knew that it was indeed Yinzhi who did it, and he became furious.
After his anger subsided, he stared at Yinzhen and asked, "Why do you have so much evidence?!"
Yinzhen had already thought of a countermeasure. "I ran into Gao Shiqi coming out of the Prince of Zhi's mansion. Gao Shiqi is the emperor's man and has never had any contact with my eldest brother. So I paid some attention to him. I didn't expect to know all this after paying attention."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"It happened before I could even say anything. They moved so fast."
Yinreng still wanted to get angry, but the person most important to him had already arrived at the clan house. If he pushed the fourth child out, he would be isolated and helpless.
"It's not your fault. It's really my eldest brother who has ulterior motives. He has been dissatisfied with my position as the crown prince for a long time. He thinks he is the eldest son."
Yinreng's face was gloomy.
"Old Four, this time it's all thanks to you, otherwise I would still be kept in the dark."
After Yinzhen left, Yinreng said, "I will definitely remember this vengeance. My elder brother took my great uncle's life, how can I continue to be humble and tolerant of him?"
The people around Yinreng quickly advised, "Your Highness, the Emperor has not moved your position as Crown Prince, which proves that the Emperor has no problem with you. Perhaps it is just that the Prince of Zhi has done something in private, which has caused the Emperor to be suspicious of Lord Suo Etu."
Yinreng nodded and said nothing more.
-----------------
Yinzhen and his entourage soon set off for Shandong.
Different from the mood at the end of last year, this time they went to provide disaster relief.
This time, through fundraising, they indeed raised a lot of silver by offering honorary positions and plaques as rewards, a total of 1.5 million taels.
Emperor Kangxi was also shocked when he heard the amount of silver.
The officialdom in Shandong was not necessarily clean, so this time he adopted the method of "Eight Banners supporting the people", sending the demoted and dismissed sinners from the Eight Banners to Shandong for disaster relief, and strongly encouraged them to donate silver.
This group of people, together with the imperial treasury silver, only raised one million taels of silver.
Unexpectedly, the merchants and wealthy families in Beijing alone raised more silver.
When Emperor Kangxi heard that it was the female manager of Heshun Teahouse who took the lead, he personally wrote the four words "Heshun Teahouse" and made a plaque to reward it.
These merchants are very active.
Isn't this better than buying positions and titles through unusual channels?
This is a channel approved by the emperor. Even if they donated or bought the official position, they would not feel uneasy.
Moreover, for merchants, their children may have a career in politics in the future, which is also a good way to change their appearance and bring honor to their family.
