The fifth son of the capital, Yi Pei, was the fifth son of Emperor Daoguang and the brother of Guiziliu. His palace was not within Sijiu City, but outside the city. This reflected the marginalized position of the fifth master in the court. .
According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, the prince can only be called elder brother throughout his life. As he grows older, the emperor's love, and of course his own efforts and contributions, the prince will be named Beizi, Baylor, Duoluo County Prince, etc. Wait, no matter how great your merits are, you will be crowned a prince, and if you go further, you will inherit the great treasure and become the emperor.
The fifth master, Yi Pei, is a very sad character. He was not as good at studying as his elder brothers since he was a child. He also did not know how to please his father and had no ministers to support him. He gradually fell out of favor with Emperor Daoguang, and was even adopted in the end. go out.
Yi Pei was adopted to Prince Mian Kai of Dun, which meant that although Yi Pei could eventually get the title of king, he was left out of the inheritance. His prince was far less valuable than the prince Guiziliu.
Later, when Yi Pei came of age, the house rewarded by his father was not within Sijiu City, but outside Sijiu City, near the northeast of Kunming Lake in Wanshou Mountain (roughly located at today's Tsinghua University).
There is also a house in Yipei in the capital, but it was left by his godfather Prince Chun. He didn't like it, so the fifth master spent most of his time outside the city, especially with some people from the market and heroes from the mountains and mountains. Play.
It is worth mentioning that Yi Pei had a good relationship with his ancestors in the past and had close personal relationships with his disciples. This is not a secret in the capital, but Yi Pei also knows how to avoid danger. While making these friends in the world, But he carefully avoided the ups and downs in the court, and it was never known that he had close contacts with those high officials.
It is precisely because of this kind of caution, coupled with the rogue appearance of hanging around in the market, that he can avoid the overt and covert attacks of the court, and no one regards him as a competitor.
In the minds of Cixi, Ci'an and Yi Xuanyi?, this is just a relatively close brother. His political threat is almost zero, so no one is willing to make an enemy of him, and of course they will not do it intentionally. If you please him, you will be a marginalized prince.
In the conservatory in the back garden of Yiyi, skilled gardeners can cultivate blooming peonies and blooming lilies in early spring. The sunny side of the conservatory is covered with glass windows. Although the price of glass is now cheaper than before, people of all ages still have it. The price is quite high, and Yi Pei spent a lot of money for this greenhouse.
The people who gathered here for a drink today are all a group of old friends. They can also be regarded as the direct team developed by Yi Pei in the past few years. Yang Zhi, who betrayed the Chinese, Li Tuo from the Military Aircraft Department, and Lao Jiang from the Prime Minister's Yamen, were pouring wine next to them. It's Yanzhihu, the woman kept by Yipei.
"It's figured out, it's figured out!" The accountant raised by the prince held a thick stack of telegraph newspapers in his hand and drank a glass of wine with a squeak, his nose turning red with excitement.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty, Sir Yang is really a mastermind. In this Jiangnan money crisis, we made a total of 12 million in the end! Hahaha..."
There was a click, and the white porcelain wine glass in Yi Pei's hand, which was holding Rouge Tiger's chin and feeding him wine, was shocked and fell to the ground. "How much? Twelve million? Can you earn so much with a capital of five million?" It's Yi Pei. The prince was born and saw big events, but he never expected that making money would be so easy and so fast.
Yang Zhi was competing with a sour elbow at the moment, and his face was covered with oil. Li Tuo, Laojiang and the others looked at Yang Zhi as if they were seeing a god. They didn't expect that Yang Zhi's judgment was so accurate and he was making so much money. many.
"Oh my god! Five million in just a few months? It's more than doubled..." The wine glass in Lao Jiang's hand was pushed to his nose.
Yang Zhi threw the elbow on the table, "What? It's only doubled? Did you not follow what I said? My plan can at least double or triple..."
"What happened? Did those fools in Jiangnan become timid at the last moment?"
Yang Zhi's guess was indeed correct. He accurately judged Xiao Letian's final victory and made a bold plan to bet that Nan Piao would win in the end.
The fifth master, Yi Pei, also had many slaves in Jiangnan, and they also had considerable influence in the local area. During this money shortage, they bought in at low prices and sold at high prices, and in the end they accumulated a total of 17 million. of southern banknotes.
Throwing out the initial capital of 5 million, Yi Pei made a net profit of 12 million from this big deal!
But he didn't expect that such a brilliant victory would become a symbol of timidity in front of Yang Zhi. He actually wanted to make more, which was too greedy.
Yang Zhi said with great sadness, "What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! It was wasted in vain, what a pity..." He was right. Although the slaves in Jiangnan were local officials, their vision and courage were definitely not as good as those in Jiangnan. As for the people in the capital, during the entire money crisis, although they carried out the prince's orders, they were cautious in everything.
Many opportunities to make large sums of money were missed, and in the end the result was only fixed at 12 million.
"Forget it, more than 10 million is enough to do a lot of things. Your Majesty, we have to recruit troops!" As soon as Yang Zhi said this, there was a dead silence in the entire greenhouse.
There were all Yi Pei's direct descendants present, so the Fifth Master did not need to pretend to be a coward and asked directly, "Reconciliation? Do you think this king has a disloyal heart?"
Yang Zhi sneered, "Don't say anything like this now. The Qing Dynasty will definitely undergo great changes in the next three or four years. If the prince doesn't take precautions in advance, will the building collapse before his eyes?"
"Look at this! Lao Jiang just sent it. Xiao Letian has already made a steady stream of money in Jiangnan. Do you think the court still has a way out?"
The news of the listing of Chinese War stocks had just been delivered to Lao Jiang. Before others could understand the implications, Yang Zhi had already seen the implications.
"Bundling the wealth of Jiangnan with shares to form a combination that will lead to both prosperity and loss. This is a great move! To be honest, the imperial court has no chess to play in Jiangnan!"
"Xiao Letian is not a stingy, solitary person. Part of the wealth in this stock market will be distributed to the Hunan Army, and part of the profits will be distributed to His Majesty! He is using interests to bind multiple forces. He is using Jiangnan's wealth to conquer the Far East. It’s been a battle…”
"Fifth Master! Xiao Letian is so smart! He doesn't rebel, but these dirty tricks one after another are even more destructive than direct rebellion. From now on, Jiangnan has been split into two imperial courts that are jointly managed!"
"The obvious one is our Qing Dynasty, and the hidden one is the Chinese... But you know clearly that he has such a move, but we can't do anything about it! This Xiao Letian is so good at combining vertical and horizontal forces. Not only is he powerful himself, There are still many forces involved!"
"Fifth Master, abandon all illusions. In the next three or four years, there will definitely be chaos in the Qing Dynasty!"
The cold tone and pessimistic tone made everyone present nervous. Yi Pei sat upright and asked respectfully, "Where does the chaos start? Where is the source of the chaos?"
"Isn't this obvious? The day His Majesty takes charge will definitely be a showdown between the imperial courts. Don't forget who has the troops now!"
