Chapter 268 Remember That Prodigal Grandson
Kangxi couldn't hear what Yinxuan said later.
My mind was full of key words like seven years, 90 million silver coins, 600,000 troops, and tens of thousands of casualties.
The shock this data brought to him was even greater than when Yinzhen said that the Qing Dynasty was even worse than the weak Song Dynasty.
Ninety million taels! Ninety million taels!
His actions were more than those he had fought against the Three Feudatories, attacked the Zheng clan on the island, and conquered Galdan three times combined.
Poor Emperor Kangxi had no idea what inflation was, and he didn't know that the purchasing power of the same tael of silver in the Kangxi dynasty was completely different from that in the Qianlong dynasty.
He only remembered this prodigal grandson.
It also made a concept clear: if we don't want the chieftains in remote areas to rebel again and again, we must carry out the policy of converting the chieftains into officials to the end!
If you snatch meat from someone else's mouth, you will inevitably be resisted.
If we want to reduce conflicts and contradictions as much as possible, we must have absolute military deterrence, so that even if the local tyrants are being cut off, they dare not speak out.
Just like North Korea ceding islands and begging for mercy.
So, when Yinzhen pulled his dragon robe sleeve again and said that firearms research was necessary, if Mr. Huang's steam engine research was successful, coupled with Mr. Dai's firearms, the future war would enter the era of firearms, and those who fell behind would definitely be beaten.
He nodded readily: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. If you say it's necessary, then let's arrange it, okay?"
Yinzhen said solemnly: "Such an important matter of the court naturally depends entirely on the holy judgment of Khan Ama. My son is still young, so he dare not make rash comments on state affairs."
Kangxi:......
Boy, do you want to listen to what you said?
You dare not make irresponsible comments. From last year until now, haven't you said enough and thought enough?
The fact that I haven't had a stroke from all the complaints and revelations from you all shows that I have mastered the art of cultivating my energy.
Of course, I may criticize in private.
Kangxi had to give face to the step that Xiao Fuxing personally brought him, and he stepped down: "Yes, yes, our little eighteen is just worried about the country and the people. That's why I brought my teacher to the emperor to give advice, thinking about doing more for the country and the emperor. The major events of the country naturally come from my ideas."
Peace of mind.
The credit goes to you, and the risk is on me.
Isn't it enough that I will never let you suffer any criticism?
Seeing his hidden meaning, Yinzhen bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Khan Ama, for your consideration. Long live Khan Ama."
"You!" Kangxi raised his hand and pointed at him: "You are such a clever little guy."
Hey.
Yinzhen smiled flatteringly, saying that Khan Ama taught him well, but in fact...
[Of course! I am a senior history buff and can learn the truth from history books. I know that there is no family affection in the royal family.]
[Kangxi is now healthy and well, and he and the crown prince are very kind and filial to each other, with no grudges at all. No matter how capable the other brothers are, they dare not show any abnormality. But...]
[As Kangxi's father said, life and death are common sense. As he grows older, the second prince will become more and more vigorous, and the conflict between the crown prince and the heir will become more acute sooner or later. If the second prince fails to deal with it properly, the battle for the throne will inevitably happen again. Even if it is to prevent himself from escalating from a fuse to a thorn in his side, such small details must be taken seriously! ]
Kangxi and the princes: ...
Just speechless.
Fortunately, there is no such thing as paranoia now, otherwise they would have arranged one for this kid no matter what!
This kind of behavior of always being afraid of becoming the one who stands out is absolutely amazing.
In other words, no one can say anything, and they can't tell him about his mind reading. Otherwise, they would have to ask him: Why, you bet on both sides and still don't feel safe?
Now the second crown prince loves you very much, and Prince Yong also dotes on you very much.
No matter which of them comes to power, you, the Prince of Rui, are as solid as a rock. What are you afraid of?
Yinxuan was unaware of his brothers' complaints. He was just happy that his request was granted, so he happily took Dai Zi's arm and left the palace again.
Yes, support, support with support.
There was nothing he could do. His own prince apprentice was too brave and fearless, and it frightened his old bones.
In order to prevent the prince's apprentice from continuing to act recklessly, Dai Zi did not return home but directly ordered him to go to Huang Luzhuang.
It was so abnormal that Yin Xuan couldn't help but look up at the sky: "The sun doesn't rise from the west, why are you..."
Why is it so abnormal for you to go to Mr. Huang's place?
cough cough.
Haven't they always been kings and queens?
Why today...
Soon, Yinxuan knew the answer.
The experiment was interrupted in the middle, and Huang Luzhuang's face was darker than the bottom of a pot: "Master Dai, right? You'd better have something important to do, otherwise..."
"What else?" Dai Zi glared at him fiercely: "You are called sir by the Eighteenth Prince. But you don't care about him at all. Don't you know how to plan for him?"
"I……"
"What do you mean by 'you'? If you weren't here, you wouldn't know how reckless the Eighteenth Prince was..."
Dai Zi glanced at Huang Luzhuang again, and then made a long story short, describing in detail what happened in the palace.
Including but not limited to the details of how the Eighteenth Prince argued with reason, and how he variously retorted to the Third Prince, making the latter look humiliated, and how he was despised by the Emperor for not having the foresight of an eight-year-old child.
Huang Luzhuang frowned: "That's it?"
Is this worth it for you to rush over here and disturb my research?
Dai Zi didn't dare to speak too clearly when he was watching Baotai and Xiao Luzi. He just used all kinds of metaphors and analogies, and even exposed his own scars as a counterexample, just to persuade Yinzhen to be low-key and tactful, and not to show off too much.
otherwise……
Dai Zi didn't say anything, but his face was full of worry, "Now the emperor dotes on you, so naturally whatever you do is good. But the emperor's power is unpredictable, what if..."
After all, he had been a minister of state and also a prisoner.
I understand best how ruthless and ruthless an emperor can be.
Especially earnest advice.
But let alone Yinzhen, even Huang Luzhuang couldn't help but curl his lips: "Are you comparing yourself with our Eighteenth Prince?"
"I……"
"What do you mean?" Huang Luzhuang interrupted him rudely, just like Dai Zi interrupted him just now: "With your status, ability and unpleasantness, are you worthy of being compared with our Eighteenth Prince?"
Before Dai Zi could retort, he heard Huang Luzhuang reciting many of Yinzhen's achievements as if he was naming dishes.
Dai Zi was stunned: "This, this..."
"What's this?" Huang Luzhuang waved his hands in disdain and simply spoke frankly: "Once the steam engine is completed, the whole world will be very different. No matter who sits in the top position at that time, as long as the other party still wants to develop the Qing Dynasty and cherishes his reputation, he must respect the Eighteenth Prince."
What you worry about will never happen!
Just pack up and leave quickly. It's better not to waste their precious time.
go?
Dai Zicai won’t leave!
Huang Luzhuang felt that his beloved disciple was being robbed, so he didn't like him at all. Dai Zi was not a man of clay, and after trying to please him several times without success, he turned against him.
The relationship between the two can be described as bad.
But just because people don't get along well with each other doesn't prevent them from appreciating each other's work.
He had to see that steam engine thing. What if it was more suitable for use with his weapon, like a scope?
