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

Yinxuan finished the remaining three pieces of snacks and wiped his mouth with a small handkerchief.

Then he said to the stunned Baotai: "Originally, I should be filial to my father and mother, friendly to my brothers, and loving my eldest nephew. But for my cousin, I can only put aside filial piety for the time being."

what?

Baotai was stunned, not quite understanding what he meant.

Then the little guy sighed, "Sure enough, my cousin only cared about me and didn't pay attention to these crucial details. Think about it, what kind of ingredients are used in these nine treasures?"

"Chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, sheep, fish, shrimps, crabs! Other things are fine, but it is written in the Qing Dynasty law that you cannot kill cows without reason. In order to set an example for the world, Khan Ama even issued an order to prohibit the palace from eating beef."

"Thank goodness I was smart and destroyed the evidence in time. Otherwise, if I had sent it to Khan Ama, you would have walked into his trap!"

[Hehe, as long as you find a good reason, you don’t have to worry about not being able to get rid of the blame.]

[Tremble, Baotai! Thank you very much, brother. Keep up the good work and bring me more delicious food in the future~ Beef is important, but beef is really delicious! Laminated beef, braised beef, beef stewed with tomatoes and potatoes, beef stewed with tomatoes and enoki mushrooms...]

Baotai laughed. This was just as the prince said. He was a real foodie!

Wow, even this little thought is put into eating.

See how he writes it down in detail and makes this black-hearted little fellow be laughed at by the Emperor and the other princes.

But what are potatoes and tomatoes?

Baotai was just wondering when Yinzhen started muttering to himself again.

[Potatoes weren’t widely available at that time, were they? Tomatoes were still called wolfberries and were planted in gardens as potted plants! Hmm, how could I, a prince, come across them and put them on the table in advance?]

[Potatoes can be used as staple food, as vegetables, and can be made into starch, with an output of several thousand kilograms per mu. Tomatoes can be used as both fruits and vegetables, and are rich in nutrition.]

what?

Baotai was stunned and almost couldn't help hugging Xiao Shiba and asking him to explain the potato in detail.

Yinxuan just thought that his plan to shift the blame was successful and scared people.

He patted his hand in a soothing manner and said, "I have eliminated all the evidence, not even a dregs are left. Brother Baotai doesn't need to worry too much."

Uh-huh-huh.

Baotai nodded heavily and said, "Thank you, Eighteenth Brother. If it weren't for your intelligence and good thinking, my brother would be finished today. With the combined efforts of the censors, even if the Emperor wanted to protect him, he would have to give him a light punishment or a severe warning. At least thirty strokes of the cane would be enough."

"This... shouldn't be the case, right?" Yinzhen frowned: "If I remember correctly, Father Kangxi really likes the lineage of Prince Yu! Although the lineage of Prince Yu did not inherit the title, it was passed down for four generations before the title was downgraded. ]

[For the same nephew, the Gong family not only did not grant him the title of prince, but also directly demoted him two ranks to become a beile...]

Baotai is favored by the emperor. It is precisely because of the emperor's favor that he should work more diligently.

Concentrate on being a member of the imperial party and keep a distance from Yinsi.

No matter whether the Crown Prince successfully ascends the throne in the future or the fourth brother strives to rule the world, don't even think about shaking the status of Prince Yu's Mansion!

Thinking this way, Baotai naturally tried to deceive Yinzhen with all his heart: "Why not? The emperor has learned from the experience of the previous dynasty and is most afraid of raising many royal parasites. He has very high requirements for the royal family. The closer they are, the less likely they will indulge. Weren't the tenth and twelfth princes beaten a few days ago?"

"But……"

"No buts. Eighteenth brother saved my life this time. If I don't repay you, I will feel so guilty that I can't sleep at night."

Yin Xuan: [Although I have the intention to blackmail him, will he be too cooperative? Oh, I feel embarrassed for being so mean! Forget it, my cousin is still my brother, I should protect him more in the future.]

Baotai:!!!

I didn't expect there would be such a pleasant surprise.

On the first day of my shift, I was already treated differently by my cousin Fuxing. If you tell others about this, who wouldn't be envious?

This is a treatment that even the emperor and the princes have never received!

When Yinxuan looked up, he saw that his cousin had laughed like a fool.

[Eternal Heaven, he wouldn't think that suffering a loss is an advantage, right? Hey, this silly brother. And speaking of royal parasites, the royal family of the Qing Dynasty was not as outrageous as that of the Ming Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty had the Eight Banners! ]

[They are all pigs. If you count their weight, the Qing dynasty is heavier. After all, when the Ming dynasty had the most royal salaries, they only accounted for one-third of the Ming dynasty's finances. After the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods, the Eight Banners' expenses already accounted for half of the Qing dynasty's.]

[The Ming Dynasty royal family was not productive and was completely parasitic. The Eight Banners children carried bird cages and smoked opium, and they were all good material for being a playboy. They intensified ethnic conflicts and directly brought down the Qing Dynasty.]

[The courier revolted and slaughtered the Ming Dynasty royal family. In the late Qing Dynasty, the Manchus also fought vigorously...]

Yinxuan compared each one in detail, and Baotai was frightened.

Eternal Heaven!

He was just a new An Da who wanted to build a good relationship with his distinguished cousin Fu Xing and curry his favor. Who could tell him how such a knife could be brought up in a casual article?

After the emperor repeated every word, he still looked like he had lost all hope in life.

He wanted to resign on the spot and submitted an application: "Ama Khan, I feel that I am not worthy of such a heavy responsibility, so why not..."

Before he could finish his words "You should find another wise one", his uncle, the emperor, waved his hand with a wretched look on his face.

I told him again about the battle among the nine princes for the throne, the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and the sinking of China.

He built up his anger and shook his head regretfully, "I know that it is a waste of your talent to have you, a prince, follow an eight-year-old child. But you can see that there are sixteen princes, from the Prince of Zhi to the eighteenth."

"Leaving aside the nine who are trying to seize the throne, the fifth and ninth are born from the same mother, so they are inevitably biased. The seventh is dull and incapable of handling important tasks. The twelfth father-in-law, Ma Qi, is a senior member of the Eighth Lord's party. The fifteenth, sixteenth and eighteenth are born from the same mother, and they were taught to be timid and cowardly. The seventeenth is still a child..."

"Among those of us who can hear my inner voice, only you can gain my trust, and only you can be trusted. This is related to the fate of the country, so please be more patient."

Now that we have reached this high, what else can Baotai say?

He could only shed tears of gratitude.

Then he patted his chest loudly, indicating that he was willing to sacrifice his life for the Qing Dynasty. Not to mention an eight-year-old prince, he could also serve a prince of eight months or eight days.

Kangxi smiled with satisfaction and praised him highly.

After the people left, his face turned completely gloomy.

At its peak, the Ming Dynasty's royal stipend accounted for one-third of the court's expenses. After the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods, the cost of honoring the Eight Banners accounted for half of the Qing Dynasty?

It intensified ethnic conflicts and brought down the entire Qing Dynasty.

Every word and sentence is frightening.

Kangxi was glad: Fortunately, Baotai, who was outside the situation, could also hear Xiao Shiba's thoughts!

Otherwise, he would really have to travel in the same car and sleep in the same bed with his youngest son so as not to miss any big news.
