Chapter 172: What if he can become the crown prince?
Sixteen still didn't want to be taken advantage of, so he actively mentioned Kejing's newly opened factory and the newly conferred Princess Gulun as examples.
As well as the original plan for the Holy Chariot to take a detour to Khalkha Mongolia.
Kangxi frowned slightly and wondered if his decision was too hasty.
It can only be said that when it comes to personal interests, no prince is an easy target.
Kangxi shook his head: "Baocheng, what do you think?"
The prince who was named: ...
After all, I am the one who bears all the responsibility?
The two younger brothers had equally burning eyes, and if they agreed to one of them, they would offend the other.
In that case...
The prince chuckled and decided to offend them all together: "I understand the love and filial piety of my fifth and sixteenth brothers in supporting their sisters and helping Khan Ama with his worries."
"But just as Sixteenth Brother said, Ke Jing is too strong. Although Fifth Brother and she are closely related by blood, our relationship is average. If we go there rashly, it's still a small matter if others suspect us. I'm afraid that if we pull up the radish and bring mud out, the noise will get bigger and bigger, and Eighteenth Brother will start to become suspicious."
Or is it said that he can become the crown prince?
I just know better how to say it so as to make the emperor anxious.
Look, Kangxi paused, the Fifth Prince was disappointed, and the Sixteenth Prince's gaze became more earnest.
Who would have thought that the second prince was such a disobedient person that he rejected him with the same reason?
The prince gently told the Thirteenth Prince to work hard and find more clues as soon as possible. Then he would report the truth and wait for Khan Ama to be furious.
Then, in order to appease the princess and the Mongolian tribes, he sent him, the crown prince, to the scene in person.
This is to show the emperor's attention to this matter.
"It is also good to make the attitude of Khan Ama and the court clear. The princesses and daughters of the clan have made great contributions to the harmony between Manchuria and Mongolia. The emperor and the court have never forgotten their contributions, and will not allow anyone to underestimate or even bully them. The marriage between Manchuria and Mongolia cannot be destroyed in any way!"
The fifth and sixteenth sons were annoyed that he had cut in, but Kangxi was quite satisfied with this statement: "Baocheng's suggestion is quite good, let's proceed accordingly."
The prince smiled and said, "I obey your order."
Thirteen also bowed earnestly: "Don't worry, Prince, I will do my best to complete this mission and try my best to eliminate all potential threats to the princess' dignity and even safety."
It is the royal dignity and the true love between brothers.
According to the original historical plot, he was in danger of losing his life and had no time to take care of other things.
Now that I have received the emperor's order, I cannot mess up the task.
Even if it's just for his two younger sisters.
Although Kangxi had little contact with the eighth and tenth princesses and their relationship was mediocre, they were his own daughters after all. As a father, how could he remain indifferent when he knew his daughters were dying?
He directly sent the two imperial physicians who were best at gynecology and first aid over there.
He also pointed out a nanny who had experience in delivering twins.
He even opened a private storehouse and gave away a 300-year-old ginseng.
Don't ask why there are imperial doctors who are good at gynecology and even midwives when the emperor goes on tour. The answer is that the royal family must be well prepared in all aspects in case of emergency.
Thirteen was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes: "I, your son, would like to thank Khan Ama for his kindness on behalf of my eighth sister."
Kangxi waved his hand and said, "It's just my duty as a father. Time is running out, so don't delay any longer. Set off immediately and do your best to keep Wen Ke and his daughter safe. If you really can't have both, Wen Ke should be the priority in everything."
Tears fell from Thirteen's eyes: "My son obeys the Khan's instructions. Long live Khan's father."
After completing the ceremony, he simply packed his bag and rode at full speed towards the Ongniud tribe.
Yin Xuan smiled when he heard the news: "I knew that the chivalrous king Thirteenth Brother is the one who keeps his promises. He promised Concubine Min to take good care of his two sisters, so he will definitely do his best."
[Unfortunately, the original historical line...]
[Anyway, with him here, Eighth Sister will be safe. If this is not just about a difficult birth, but also about the servants and even the evil prince consort, Thirteenth Brother will definitely be able to unravel the mystery and seek justice for Eighth Sister and even the entire Fumeng Princess group.]
Kangxi and the princes: ...
So not only four, but even thirteen is rimmed with gold for you, right?
People do not share the same joys and sorrows, so Yinxuan did not know the pain in his father and brothers' hearts. He just counted the days on his fingers to see when he could reach Khalkha Mongolia.
I reunited with my fourth sister, whom I hadn’t seen for just a few months but it felt like a long time had passed.
Look at how her cattle and sheep breeding is going, and the scale of her fur and dairy products. Can she submit a brilliant report card when the Holy Carriage arrives in Khalkha Mongolia?
[If it doesn't work, I will help you think of another way. If it does, the imperial court will have a more powerful way to restrict and develop the Mongolian tribes. There will be no need to send princesses thousands of miles away, send dowries, and allocate funds for special poverty alleviation, right?]
Yin Xuan Yuan Mu: [Not to mention the burden, intermarriage between close relatives from generation to generation is really not conducive to eugenics~]
[Sang, nowadays it is very popular for the aunt to become the mother-in-law, and the relationship is even closer! Kangxi's father's Empress Xiao Zhao, Empress Xiao Yi, Concubine Wen Xi, and the current Concubine Tong, etc., are all close relatives. The wives of the princes and their wives who went up a few generations ago also have some royal blood. This is the case for the royal family, and it is even worse for the common people.]
[If I bring this up rashly, I'm afraid I'll be confronted by the whole society. I can't help but say...]
[I am afraid that in a few years, Kangxi's father will ask kindly with a smile: "Little Eighteen, do you think this cousin is pretty? Would you like to make her your wife?" Whether the girl is good or not is not clear, but it is easy for her to have genetic diseases, congenital diseases, or even physical defects. If she wins the gene lottery, she is more likely to have low intelligence, weak body, or some hidden dangers such as cleft lip, six fingers, or gloomy face.]
It sounds quite unfortunate, and what's even more unfortunate is that in this era people believe in Buddhism, Taoism, and shamanism.
It's an old feudal superstition.
[When Kangxi deposed the crown prince, he said that his second brother was born to harm his mother, which is a pretext for people who are unfilial in ancient times. When he was reinstated, he said that he dreamed of the Empress Dowager and Empress Yuan. Regardless of whether it is true or not, it definitely shows that the theory of ghosts and gods is very popular.]
[Wasn't it because of a minor foot disease that the seventh brother was excluded from the list of candidates for the throne? Even his biological mother, Dai Jia, was framed for committing a crime that caused the prince to suffer. As a result, she fell out of favor, and it was not until the 50th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign that she was reluctantly given the title of Chengpin.]
Kangxi was trying to hold back his laughter. This little brat already started thinking about his wife when he was just a little kid?
As a result, I couldn't laugh anymore after trying so hard to hold it in.
He only remembered that Zuo Zhuan once said that if two people with the same surname married, their children would have no family background. He had never heard of cousins getting married...
But when he counted the cousins he had married over the years, there were some who were favored. But some had miscarriages after pregnancy, and some died young. In total, only the tenth one grew up solid and sturdy. He often doubted his knowledge of ancient and modern times. Concubine Wenxi was also like a female Zhuge Liang, so why was the tenth one so hard to describe?
Now, he seems to have found the answer?!
