Qing Dynasty: After reading my heart, Kangxi and the Nine Dragons are united

Chapter 16 Another Day of Shock to Kangxi and the Crown Prince

Yinreng, who was originally thinking of taking advantage of the situation and moving his cousin closer, suddenly became determined: "Not too far!"

"Since he applied for a transfer in order to mend his ways, he would have to go to a farther, more difficult place. Only after a few years of hardship can we know how tolerant Khan Ama has been towards him and his family over the years."

When speaking, Yinreng deliberately emphasized the two words "farther" and "more difficult".

Inducing without leaving a trace.

Yin Xuan, who had been watching the show quietly, fell into the trap easily and said with a disapproving sound: "It is definitely far. In the backward Qing Dynasty, which had no ships, no airplanes, and no steel, it would probably take months to travel from Beijing to Guangdong."

[But hardship is not necessarily hardship. After all, there are a few Qing Dynasty prefects who can earn 100,000 silver coins in three years. The salaries of Ming and Qing officials were low, so they would create income for themselves!]

[Wang Danwang during the reign of Emperor Qianlong dragged Gansu Province into corruption. Heshen, also during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, was the most corrupt official in history. Eight hundred million taels of silver were seized from his property, which was more than the total fiscal revenue of the court in fifteen years...]

Kangxi and Yinreng both held their breath. God knows how much self-control these two used to avoid revealing any clues.

How could Yinxuan know that the father and son were angry and entangled?

Just continue to sigh silently.

[Besides, Xuwen has a superior geographical environment, which is very suitable for maritime trade. Just by selling some porcelain, silk, etc. to Southeast Asian countries, you can make a lot of money.]

[If you were more thoughtful and offered potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes, which have been introduced here for a long time but are not widely planted yet, you might be promoted or even given a title of nobility...]

Yinxuan held his chin in his hand, feeling sorry for him as the fuse for being deposed as the crown prince.

Being young and being in the spotlight, they dared not move at all. Even if they knew, they would not have any chance to participate in these great achievements.

What a pity. What a pity.

The little guy sighed in his heart, his big eyes full of vicissitudes.

Poor thing!

Yinreng, who had successfully tricked him into believing something, couldn't help but feel distressed, so he took off the Hetian jade pendant he had been wearing for a long time and stuffed it into his hand.

Yinxuan was confused and didn't understand what was going on with him.

The prince coughed lightly, "Gerfen has made many mistakes, but I thought... Fortunately, Khan Ama showed mercy, and I am happy. I will give this little thing to my eighteenth brother, so that we can have fun together."

When saying this, the prince became very nervous.

I’m afraid that the little guy won’t know how to appreciate my kindness, and not only will he not be grateful, but he will also expose more negative information about him.

Or they may be delusional and think that he has ulterior motives.

Finally, he stretched out his little hand and touched it: "Warm?"

"Yes." Yinreng nodded. "It is made of top-quality Hetian jade seed material. It keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. It is also a tribute from the Western Regions. The most skilled jade craftsman in the Imperial Household Department spent three months carefully carving it."

[It’s even more expensive, my family!]

[To be honest, there are two little people fighting in my heart right now. One says he wants it, and the other also says he wants it.]

puff~

Kangxi couldn't help laughing out loud, and flicked his finger on the little guy's forehead: "Look at you, you are so ignorant, you are embarrassing me. Liang Jiugong, go, take your eighteenth prince to my private storehouse and pick out some more jade pendants, jade ruyi and the like."

Yinxuan: ...

[To be honest, I felt deeply humiliated by the first sentence. I immediately turned against him after the second sentence. I just hope that father Kangxi will humiliate me a few more times!]

[Family members, who understands! I have made it big, I have become rich, I am going to go to Kangxi Dad’s private vault to pick out treasures~]

well.

This deafening scream made Kangxi and his son certain that the little guy was not only a foodie, but also a bit of a money-grubber.

Yinreng smiled and quickly followed.

Yinxuan immediately became defensive and seriously suspected that he was here to get a piece of the pie.

Yinreng, who had never suffered any injustice in terms of money since he was a child: ...

Angry and unwilling!

I want to turn around and leave. Out of sight, out of mind.

But who can resist the temptation to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and to change the fate of himself or even the entire dynasty?

At least Yinreng couldn't do it.

So he could only quickly put away his grievances, smiled and flicked the little guy's forehead with his finger: "You are judging a gentleman by your own standards, right? I have such a big Yuqing Palace, what treasures don't I have?"

[How big is it? It's not even as big as a prince's mansion! There are only a few rooms, but so many people live there with their families. No wonder people in later generations doubt whether Kangxi really loves the prince when they see Yuqing Palace!]

[It is said that this was the result of a lot of expansion in the later period.]

[Today is another day to sympathize with my second brother. It is difficult to be the crown prince of a wise ruler, and it is even more difficult to be the crown prince of a long-lived wise ruler. That is why he is known as one of the three most tragic crown princes along with Liu Ju and Li Chengqian. He was doted on in the early days, but in the end...]

Yinzhen shook his head and said in a clear voice: "Okay, okay, it's my brother who misunderstood my brother, the crown prince. It's just a small matter, so I won't bother you with it, okay?"

"Are you sure?" Yinreng grinned, his voice full of temptation: "I have been in and out of Khan's private treasury since I was young. No one knows better than me what is the most valuable and taboo thing in there!"

"Yinreng you..."

Seeing that his father Kangxi was about to stop him, Yinzhen's originally hesitant mind suddenly became firm.

He quickly extended his chubby little hand: "Prince, you are so kind. If I refuse, wouldn't it be too rude? Thank you, Prince."

I knew this trick would work!

Yinreng smiled and took the chubby little hand that came to him, "You are my brother, Eighteenth Brother, there is no need to be so polite. Since the death of Empress Xiaoyi, Khan Ama has not appointed another empress. All the affairs in the palace are managed by your second sister-in-law. If you have any shortage, just tell me directly."

"Thank you, Prince, second brother."

"You are so polite. Since you call me second brother, you are my younger brother. As an elder brother, isn't it natural for me to take care of my younger brother?"

[Really? I don't believe it! But the second prince's eyes look so sincere and his voice is so gentle. But it is said that true love is hard to find in the royal family. The princes and princesses are acting before they even have dinner...]

Yinxuan was conflicted.

The new brain is useful, but due to age restrictions, it is not fully developed yet.

It's hard to make sense of all these twists and turns.

When he arrived at the door of the emperor's private treasury, he had no time to think about these things.

I just kept saying in my heart: [Never mind, let’s wait and see. If he is sincere to me, I will be sincere to him. Otherwise…]

Yinreng was still listening attentively to his next harsh words when the skillful man Liang Jiugong opened the door of the private vault.

All kinds of gold and jade treasures came into view, and Yinzhen was overjoyed, cheering loudly. It seemed that he had forgotten everything and was only running towards the treasures.

In my heart, I could hear the excited little kid’s voice: “Wow, pearls as big as pigeon eggs! Coral trees taller than me! Even the shelves for the treasures are made of huanghuali wood! So rich, so rich.”

[If all these treasures were given to me, I don’t know how happy I would be! ]
