C1442 Yi Cong who was ready to make a move (1/2)
The Young Fifth Master Yi was the fifth son of the Dao Guang Emperor, and the older brother of General Gui Six. His mansion was not in the Beijing, but outside the city, which reflected the fifth master's marginal position in the imperial court.
In accordance to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, the prince could only be called brother when he was born. As he grew older, as well as the emperor's degree of affection, as well as his own hard work and contributions, the prince would be conferred the title of Bei Zi, belle, Duke Duo Luo, etc.
Young Fifth Master Yi was a rather sad person, he had been inferior to his brothers since he was young. He could not please his father, nor did he have a backer as he was gradually displeased by the Dao Guang Emperor, and was even taken over in the end.
That meant that although Yi Cong could also get a royal title in the end, he was left out of the inheritance rights. As a prince, he was far from being worth as much as the Prince Gouzi Liu.
After Yi Cong had become an adult, the house that his father bestowed upon him was not inside the Beijing, but outside the Beijing, near the northeast side of the Kunming Lake at the Ten Thousand Life Mountain (which was generally located at the Tsinghua University now).
In the capital, Yi Cong also had a mansion, but that was left behind by his godfather, the Prince of Alcohol. He did not like it, so the young master spent most of his time outside the city, playing with some of the city guards and the men from the Three Mountains and Five Mountains.
It was not a secret in the capital city. However, Yi Cong knew about avoiding danger, so when he made friends with the Jianghu, he carefully avoided the storm in the imperial court. He had never heard of him keeping secrets from the officials.
It was precisely because of this caution and his roguish appearance that allowed him to avoid the open swords and hidden arrows of the imperial court. It was because of this that no one saw him as a competitor.
In the eyes of Ci Xi and Yi Xuan, this was just a relatively close brother. His political threat was almost zero, so no one was willing to be enemies with him.
In the warm room at the back of Yi Cong's garden, a skillful gardener could nurture a peony in full bloom during the early spring. In the warm room at the back of Yi Cong's back, a skillful gardener could nurture a peony in full bloom during the early spring.
The people who were gathered here today were all old friends, and could be considered to be part of the direct line of descent Yi Cong had developed over the past few years. They were Yang Zhi who had betrayed the Hua Clan, Li Tuo who was raised by the Military Intelligence Service and the zingiberis radix s of the Head Office.
”It has been calculated, it has been calculated!” The bastard raised by the Duke's Mansion held a thick stack of electric newspaper in his hand and gulped down a cup of fine wine. He was so excited that his nose turned red.
”Congratulations your highness, congratulations your highness. Lord Yang is truly lucky. In the end, we managed to earn a whole 12 million from this crisis of the Jiangnan Notes!” ”Hahaha …”
With a ”pa” sound, the white porcelain wine cup in Yi Cong's hand that was holding onto the tigress's chin and feeding her wine dropped onto the ground, ”How much? Twelve million? That much with a capital of five million? ” Even though Prince Yi Cong was born and had seen a lot, he never thought that earning money would be so easy, so fast.
was currently fighting with a bun in one go, and his face was covered in oil. Li Tuo and the others looked at Yang Zhi as though he was a god, they did not expect Yang Zhi's judgement to be so accurate and to be earning so much.
”Good heavens! Five million is only a few months? ”It just doubled more than once …” The wine cup in the zingiberis radix's hand was raised to her nose.
Yang Zhi threw the soy sauce elbow on the table. ”What? Twice as strong? Did you not do as I said? I can at least double or triple my plan … ”
”What's going on? ”Did those idiots in Jiangnan lose their nerve at the last minute?”
