The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 218: How about Huo Guang?

On this day, Yinyou was taking a break. Even when the sun was shining on his butt, he was still lying in bed with his beautiful daughter.

Qinshu lay on Yinyou's body, acting coquettishly and gently.

Yinyou, who was awakened by the torment, said nothing and put away the Qinshu until he was hoarse.

Afterwards, Qinshu bit Yinyu's ear and whispered, "Master, my friend, the first-class lady of Haicheng, has some troubles in her family and wants to ask you to help her. She said that as long as you agree to help, no matter what the result is, you will reward her handsomely."

Yinyu knew that the woman in his arms was working very hard and must have some ulterior motive.

As the saying goes, if you have no desires, you will be strong. If someone doesn't ask you for help, why should they bend down to please you?

Whether in the government or at home, what is being tested is the ways of the world!

Qinshu followed Yinyu wholeheartedly and could not be driven away because Yinyu was able to satisfy her ideal carefree life.

What a woman needs, a Ximen Qing in bed, tremendous power and endless money, Yinyou has it all!

"Tell me, what happened in her family?" Yinyou has already adapted to the local customs. If he has the power but doesn't use it, why should he take power?
Qinshu bit Yinyu's ear and said, "My father, who was a close friend of mine, was originally a military commander stationed in Barkol. He killed nearly a hundred prisoners of war to vent his anger. He was impeached and imprisoned, and he was about to be executed."

Originally, Yinyu had no intention of intervening in such a mess. However, when he heard that the prisoners were being killed in Barkol, he did feel sympathy.

"Okay, I'll take care of this matter. But there's no need to thank me, just thank you." After Yinyou said this, Qinshu was immediately delighted and kept pestering Yinyou.

As a result, as soon as Kangxi entered the yard, he heard Qinshu's joyful shouts.

Nalasan rolled his eyes and whispered, "Should I go and give them a reminder?"

Kangxi shook his head and said, "Little Fifteen likes this, don't spoil his mood."

The emperor's beloved son, Zhenglong, is living happily in his own home. As his father, Kangxi should at least show some consideration, right?

"Whoo."

When Yinyu had had enough fun, Nalashan, at Kangxi's suggestion, shouted loudly, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Yinyou quickly put on his clothes, opened the door, and knelt in front of Kangxi.

"Your Majesty, I, Yinyu, respectfully wish you the best of health."

"Let's get up." Kangxi stood with his hands behind his back, teasing Yinyu with a smile, "My son really has great stamina!"

Yinyu, who was originally very thick-skinned, blushed with shame for the first time in history. He whispered, "My twenty-second brother is very strong. I am not even one tenth as strong as my father Khan."

In the Qing Dynasty, where having many children was a great blessing, Kangxi's biological son was already the 22nd in line, and he had a son when he was nearly 60 years old. No matter how you look at it, it is something to be proud of.

Kangxi couldn't help but chuckle and said with a hint of pride: "I am a blessed king!"

"Khan Ama is a sage monarch rarely seen in history." Yinyu quickly flattered him.

"Little Fifteen, how long has it been since you had a small bowl of fried sauce?" Kangxi deliberately hinted at Yinyou.

Yinyu knew that Kangxi was craving for a small bowl of fried noodles with soybean sauce, so he took the initiative to suggest: "The Heji small bowl of dry fried noodles in Qianmen is the only one in the capital. I haven't tried it for a long time!"

"Shall we go together, father and son?" Kangxi opened his folding fan and looked at Yinyou with a smile.

Yinyou thought to himself, this is just nonsense, you have already entered the inner courtyard, how dare I not accompany you?
So Yinyou accompanied Kangxi in a carriage, left the inner city, and headed straight for Qianmen Street.

The most important feature of He Ji’s small bowl of fried food is that the fried sauce is particularly fragrant!
Cut the pork into large cubes and separate the fat and lean meat. After frying the lean meat, take it out first, and then add the lean meat when the sauce is almost done. If you add the lean meat at the beginning, the lean meat will be very dry, which will seriously affect the taste of the sauce.

To make fried sauce authentic, the sauce is the key.

Liubiju’s dry yellow bean paste, fresh yellow bean paste, sweet noodle sauce, He Ji’s secret fermented black beans, plus star anise and other ingredients are cooked together to make a sauce.

It is worth mentioning that the dry yellow paste must be diluted with water, otherwise it will become mushy when fried!

When Kangxi and Yinyou arrived, they were shocked to see that not only was the store full of people, but there was also a long line outside the store.

The father and son looked at each other, and then stood at the end of the queue tacitly.

After waiting in line for about half an hour, Kangxi and Yinyou each held a bowl of noodles and squatted on the roadside with the common people, eating noodles in big mouthfuls in the dust of the street.

Anyway, as long as it’s not clean, you won’t get sick if you eat it!

After a while, Kangxi burped and said, "I won't watch a play today, I'll listen to a storyteller instead!"

Having learned his lesson from the last fire in the theater, Kangxi chose a seat near the gate and listened to a story while drinking tea.

The folk storytelling these days is either Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Biography of Yue Fei, or Generals of the Yang Family.

Generally speaking, Kangxi preferred to listen to Romance of the Three Kingdoms because it did not contain any stories about fighting against the northern barbarians.

However, when Kangxi and Yinyou entered the room, the storyteller was vividly telling the legendary story of Yue Fei's fight against the Jin soldiers.

During the reigns of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, the literary inquisitions during the reigns of Kangxi and Yongzheng were not serious.

After the fourth prince ascended the throne, the literary inquisition he carried out was mainly a derivative of the struggle within the imperial court and did not affect the people on a large scale.

Among them, the cause of Qingfeng's illiteracy case was actually Xu Jun's own desire to die. In the memorial he wrote to the fourth son, he actually wrote "Your Majesty" instead of "Biaxia".

The fourth brother was so angry that he ordered the dismissal of his official position and the confiscation of his property, but he discovered the classic quote in Xu Jun's collection of essays: "The breeze cannot read, why is it flipping through books?"

What’s really amazing is that Qianlong carried out thousands of literary inquisitions, which scared all the intellectuals in the Qing Dynasty so much that they dared not speak.

The storyteller made the Jin soldiers seem vulnerable, and Yue's army of only 500 people was able to defeat 100,000 soldiers.

Kangxi frowned and asked Yinyu: "You are also an expert in military affairs, is this possible?"

Yinyou knew that Kangxi was unhappy. If he handled the situation carelessly, the storyteller would surely be in trouble.

"Father, the military report can be boastful, but the battle line between the two armies is enough to explain everything!" After Yinyou said this, Kangxi couldn't help but smile.

Yinyou was right, the Jin soldiers were really vulnerable, and the Song army had already recaptured Bian Jing and trampled on Huanglongfu!
"Reward him five taels of silver and ask him to tell the story of Zhuge Liang's sixth expedition to Qishan!" Kangxi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he took the opportunity to throw silver at the storyteller to silence him when he was asking for reward.

"Speaking of Zhuge Kongming..." The storyteller received a generous reward, so naturally he tried extra hard to praise Zhuge Liang.

"Is Zhuge Liang truly loyal or just pretending to be loyal?" Kangxi asked Yinyou suddenly.

Yinyu said without hesitation: "Father, Kong Ming could have usurped the throne but he didn't. He is truly loyal!"

"Then, what about Huo Guang?" Kangxi immediately asked Yinyou.
