The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 103 A Warm Family
Concubine Mi stood obediently, who would dare to sit down and fish?

Yinyou walked over quickly, and when he was half a foot away, he knelt down and saluted.

"Your Majesty, I, Yinyu, respectfully greet you!"

"…I wish you the best of health, mother!"

Kangxi, who was fishing with a bamboo hat on, did not look up, but asked Yinyu calmly: "How do you feel about your first battle?"

"My dear Khan, I have made many mistakes... I thought that adding salt water to the pancakes would keep them for a few days, but I forgot that it was the height of summer, and the pancakes were stuffed into the bag, so they became stale in just half a day..."

"I mistakenly thought that by marching in armor, I could launch a counterattack in time. However, I didn't expect that the armor was too heavy..."

Yinyou made deep reflections on the military mistakes he had made, one by one.

"Is it wrong to use your own money to reward the troops privately?"

"I know I was wrong. However, I just wanted to learn from my second uncle to boost morale. When the spoils were divided, I took the silver back. I had no intention of buying people's hearts. Please understand, Khan."

Yinyou deliberately cited the old example of Prince Yu Fuquan to prove that he had no distracting thoughts.

At that time, when selecting brave warriors for the night attack, there were too many people who signed up and the silver they brought with them was not enough to be divided. Prince Yu Fuquan arbitrarily took out his own family's silver and distributed it to the soldiers first.

"Hmph, a general is not allowed to disobey the orders of the emperor when he is away from the court. How dare you do that?" Kangxi suddenly threw away the fishing rod, turned his head and glared at Yinyou.

"My Khan is not a king who commands the troops from afar, and I am not a boastful loser like Ma Su!"

The emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, from the Donkey Cart God of War down, all liked to remotely control the fighting on the front lines, and even created the notorious Formation Master.

Damn, an army thousands of miles away has to fight according to the Northern Song emperor's fantasy, how can it not be defeated?

To put it bluntly, Kangxi was also a military veteran. How could he not know that the battlefield situation was changing rapidly, which was a great test of the commander's ability to deal with emergencies?
"Sanlang, if you scare Xiaowu to death, how can he fight for the Qing Dynasty in the future?"

At this moment, Concubine Mi suddenly interrupted and interrupted Kangxi's temper.

Among Shunzhi's sons, Kangxi was the third oldest.

In the entire Qing Dynasty, the only one who dared to call him Sanlang in private was the extremely beautiful Concubine Mi!

Before this, Concubine Mi lived in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which was closest to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. How could she have lived like this if she had not been favored?

There’s nothing I can do about it, I’m just too beautiful, that’s an advantage!
However, the great favor of Concubine Mi made Kangxi particularly dote on the Eighteenth Prince. The light of his kind fatherly love did not shine on Yinyu and the Sixteenth Prince.

"Humph, if I don't take care of it, this unfilial beast will really dare to climb up the roof and tear down the tiles!" Kangxi suddenly changed the subject, "Call him Zhang Tingyu!"

Yinyou knew that with Kangxi's tacit approval, he would have a certain degree of decision-making power when leading troops in the future.

No matter what, whatever Fuquan dared to do, Yinyou would dare to do!

"There is an imperial decree!" Zhang Tingyu stood proudly in front of Yinyou, holding the imperial decree in his hand.

Yinyou knelt down obediently and listened to the announcement.

"The Cabinet has received the imperial decree. The fifteenth son of the Emperor, Prince Yinyu, has made great contributions to the country by spreading the might of the Qing army in the desert. He is awarded 100,000 taels of silver and 10,000 acres of imperial farmland. He is also in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of War. This is the imperial decree!"

"I accept your order and thank you." Yinyu accepted the order with satisfaction.

Although the Qing Dynasty's Ministry of War was only responsible for the military and political affairs of the Green Camp, Yinyu actually had control of the military power.

Objectively speaking, military achievements were particularly important in the early Qing Dynasty, especially during the reigns of Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong.

The reason why the eldest brother was able to be named the Prince of Zhi was because he had military merits. Although the eldest brother's military merits were extremely exaggerated, he was still named the prince based on his military merits.

In addition, the third brother was able to be crowned the Prince of Cheng, not because of his editing of books, but because he led the Red Banner Camp and made great contributions in the process of conquering the Junggars.

Fu Kang'an was granted the title of Beizi during his lifetime and the title of Junwang after his death. This was not only because Emperor Qianlong loved him, but also because he had made great military achievements.

In the history of Chinese military, Fu Kang'an was the only person who personally led his troops across the Himalayas and forced the Gurkhas to surrender, thus bringing the snowy plateau into the actual control of the Qing Dynasty.

"Little Fifteen, I see that you are worried about something?" Kangxi was obviously trying to find trouble.

Yinyu drooled and said, "Khan Ama, there are too many chores in the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."

There are too many trivial matters in the Imperial Household Department, and Yinyou really doesn't want to serve the people and things in the palace.

Kangxi frowned and said coldly: "How about you go back to the Shangshufang to study?"

Well, what else could Yinyou say? He had to obey.

To be honest, the efficiency of the Imperial Household Department, which Yinyu participated in managing, has increased by more than ten times compared to the previous one.
The previous Imperial Household Department was corrupt, incompetent, and often made jokes, causing Kangxi a lot of headaches.

The Imperial Household Department under Yinyou's management was still very greedy, but it was extremely efficient in its work.

It is a clear rule of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the work of the day should be done and completed.

Yinyou didn't care how much the rats wanted to steal, but he had to get the job done.

Anyway, when Yongzheng becomes the emperor, hehe, these rats will have to spit out what they have eaten.

After Yinyu said goodbye to Kangxi and Concubine Mi, he had just walked out of the Moon Gate when he heard Kangxi's order: "Pull up the curtain and set up the oven."

Khan, Yinyou and Nian Guanyin’s absurd and shameless activities in the fish pond actually infected Kangxi.

Damn, when his parents wanted to be intimate, Yinyu didn't dare to stay for a moment, and ran away as if he was on a hot wheel. In fact, Yinyu was born when Mipin was fifteen years old, and he is only in his early thirties this year.

This fairy in her early thirties is not only young and has never been to women's water, but is also very good at dressing up. Her graceful and charming gestures can fascinate men to death!

Yinyou went to the school first, and through the window, he saw the Eighteenth Master reading aloud.

Well, although Gu Badai has the shortcoming of being conservative, he is really good at teaching and educating people.

The fourth child can write running script with his left hand and cursive script with his right hand at the same time. He learned it from Gu Badai.

Yinyu guessed that Kangxi would not be able to leave the fish pond for a while, so after bathing and changing his clothes, he held Nian Guanyin on his lap.

Holding the beautiful beauty in his arms, Yinyu knew that he had really picked up a treasure!

The Nian family’s genes are really good.

Historically, since the 51st year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, when Guanyin's younger sister entered the palace as a concubine, the fourth prince doted on her for more than ten years.

If Concubine Nian was lucky, and one of her three sons grew up, Qianlong would have no chance of taking the throne!
"Master, don't touch me!" Although Nian Guanyin didn't know that Kangxi was coming, she saw with her own eyes the guards with swords guarding the gate of the courtyard.

How could she dare to let Yinyou succeed so easily?

"What are you afraid of? You are my woman!" Yinyu proudly declared his sovereignty.

No matter how lustful Kangxi was, he was very self-disciplined and never touched his son's woman.

Just based on this point, he is much better than Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Zhu Wen, those two shameless guys who cheated on his wife!

Zhu Wen was an old pervert, extremely dirty and shameless. He slept with all his daughters-in-law.

Thus, a strange scene appeared in the whole courtyard: Kangxi was in the fish pond, bullying Concubine Mi severely, while Yinyu was in the backyard, practicing the secret technique of pushing a cart.

Haha, both father and son have fun!

After night fell, Kangxi and Concubine Mi sat together, while Yinyou and the Eighteenth Prince sat opposite them.

If it is an ordinary family, it is a good time for the whole family to reunite and enjoy the joy of family life!

Today's dinner is still barbecue skewers and fine wine.

To be honest, the kebabs in the palace had too many and too varied spices, which masked the fresh and tender taste of the mutton.

The grilled skewers here at Yinyou's place, in addition to salt and dogwood oil, also contain a large amount of cumin.

In the Qing Dynasty, because the Dzungar Khanate occupied the entire Western Regions and was hostile to the Qing Dynasty, the price of cumin also rose and became extremely expensive.

However, given Yinyou's status, it was not difficult to get cumin in Rehe.

As long as there are enough huge profits, Shanxi merchants can deliver everything you want to your home.

After five rounds of drinks, I had ten skewers of food.

Kangxi suddenly asked Yinyu: "How do you deal with the Mongolian wives, concubines and princesses you captured?"

To be honest, Mongolian women of that era had a somewhat unpleasant odor on their bodies because they did not take a bath for years.

French women back then didn’t like to take baths, so perfume was quite famous.

Without perfume, you can't cover up the odor on your body!
More importantly, because of eating meat every meal for a long time and lack of exercise, the legs of the married Mongolian wives and concubines were mostly thicker than Yinyou's waist.

"Replying to Khan Father, why not give all the rewards to the soldiers guarding the border in Heilongjiang?"

The woman of the defeated can only be at the mercy of the victor and has no room for resistance.

Yinyu's original intention was to reward these captured women to Sorenzo Linghaicha and his subordinates, with whom he had fought side by side.

However, in order to avoid suspicion, Yinyou did not dare to say so.

"I can see that you really like vixen." When Kangxi said this, he couldn't help but glance at the fairy-like Concubine Mi.

Yinyou quickly lowered his head. It was inappropriate for children to see their parents flirting with each other.

However, Old Eighteen opened his eyes wide and watched with great interest.

Yinyou quickly pulled Old Eighteen and said, "This unfortunate child, isn't he afraid of getting a sore on his eyes?"

That night, Kangxi and Concubine Mi occupied Yinyou's master bedroom, and Yinyou was squeezed into Lao Shiba's room.

"…The generals asked, "Why is the Prime Minister laughing?" Cao said, "I am not laughing at others, but only at Zhou Yu's lack of strategy and Zhuge Liang's lack of wisdom. If I had ambushed an army here beforehand when I was going to use the army, what would have happened?"

Yinyou vividly depicts Cao Aman's unyielding fighting spirit when he was defeated and fled to Huarong Road, and the heroic figure of a treacherous hero is right before our eyes.

At this moment, a cheer came from the window, "Good, well said, much better than the storyteller Xian'er over on the overpass, come and enjoy."

At this moment, the door that was originally bolted was pushed open from the outside.

Under the dim moonlight, Kangxi and Concubine Mi, who was smiling lightly, were standing side by side outside the door.
