No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Who?

Dai Zi, his son and his two sons all had their hearts skipping a beat. The pocket on the table was wide open, revealing white saltpeter, which made people panic.

And the person outside the house was obviously not right. It was not the voice of the familiar neighbors.

Could it be that they were specifically targeting their gunpowder?

When Dai Heng thought of this possibility, his eyes darkened.

Dai Zi stood up vigilantly, quickly assembled the parts he had been fiddling with, and placed them in the pile of firewood on the side.

Dai Gao was more agile. He tied the cloth bag tightly again, tied it around his waist, and quickly ran into the backyard and hid.

Dai Zi looked around and saw that everything was ready. Then he signaled to his son, "Heng'er, go open the door."

Dai Heng's heart was pounding like a drum, but he pretended to be calm and went to open the door, shouting, "I'm coming, I'm coming! Who's knocking at the door so early in the morning?"

As soon as the door opened, he was startled by the huge crowd of people at the door.

Especially since these people are all tall and strong, and are equipped with swords, they look like they are not easy to mess with.

Dai Heng swayed for a moment and asked cautiously, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

He took a quick look and didn't see a single familiar face. They were probably not officers or soldiers from Shengjing.

But why would soldiers from other places come to the Dai family?

He had even thought of the place of exile in his mind, which would be even worse than Shengjing!

God wants to destroy my Dai family!

Unexpectedly, although the other party had many people, they all stood at the back and said nothing.

Instead, a man dressed as a eunuch said in a sharp voice, "Is this the residence of Master Dai Zi Dai?"

Dai Heng was also a smart man. When he heard his father being called "Master Dai", he guessed that these people were not here with bad intentions.

He bowed his head and saluted, saying, "It is my father, the noble man is..."

"My master is the fourteenth son of Emperor Kangxi, and the fourteenth prince personally appointed by the current emperor," the young eunuch introduced with his chest puffed out proudly.

When Dai Heng heard this, he immediately knelt down and saluted with his father, and welcomed the person into the yard.

Fourteen traveled all the way to Shengjing, sleeping in the open and suffering a lot.

Now we have finally arrived at our destination and we just want to find a place to sit down and rest.

After sitting down at the Dai family and drinking two bowls of tea, he finally felt alive.

However, this was an opportunity for him to make a contribution because his fourth sister-in-law was thinking of him. He had to endure it no matter how hard it was.

After the fourth brother came to power, he was extremely busy every day.

But among these brothers, except Thirteen who had something to do, the others were all sitting on the bench.

He also lived in a separate house, and his wives, concubines and children all depended on him for food.

But how can there be income without a job?

In the past, the emperor's father was the emperor, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs would send him money and gifts, which was the father's concern for his son.

Now that my brother is in charge, the Ministry of Internal Affairs won’t give me a penny.

Although my mother secretly helped him, it was not a big deal.

So he submitted several petitions, hoping to get a job.

No matter good or bad, I can always support my family.

But Fourth Brother was not satisfied with anything, so he could only stay at home idle.

I didn't expect that life would come to me while I was sitting at home.

It was his good fourth sister-in-law who thought of him and snatched such an important job from Thirteen.

Is there anyone in the world better than his fourth sister-in-law?

Haha, no!

In fact, the Fourth Master had originally planned to give this task to Thirteen, because since the time when they had shared hardships together, he only trusted Thirteen as his brother.

But Lin Mingyan was afraid that Thirteen would be exhausted, thinking that Fourteen had never done anything naughty in his life.

Moreover, there was no longer any rumor about "passing the throne to the Fourteenth Prince", and since he was the Fourth Master's younger brother, people mentioned him.

The Fourth Master hesitated for a moment, but agreed because Concubine De had helped him.

Fourteen got his first assignment and almost jumped up in the mansion.

I was extremely excited along the way, and only calmed down a little when I arrived in Shengjing.

Actually, I just came to pick someone up, it’s not a big deal.

But if Dai Zi really achieves something in the future, his support this time will be a great favor.

Fourteen came back to his senses and started to be polite to Dai Zi: "Master Dai, are you in good health?"

Dai Zi's face turned red after Fourteen revealed his identity.

He has been waiting for this moment of revival all his life. Now in his old age, he finally has hope. How can he not be excited?

Especially since the current emperor attaches great importance to him, he actually sent his younger brother, the Fourteenth Prince, to pick him up instead of sending just any official.

Especially since although the Fourteenth Prince was a member of a royal family, there was a hidden respect for him in his words.

This shows that he is valued today!

The first thing he said was gratitude for the emperor's grace, and he even choked up several times while speaking.

After a casual chat, there is no technique involved, it's all about emotion.

14: No, how should I answer?

The old guy can cry at any time, he is so powerful!

However, Fourteenth was no longer the hot-tempered prince. He patiently listened to Dai Zi praising his fourth brother for an hour, feeling dizzy and confused.

Dai Heng was also feeling dizzy. He never expected that his father would be recalled one day.

They are Han people, can they really gain the trust of the Manchu emperor?

But this is a good opportunity for their family to turn things around, and no one wants to miss it.

Not to mention that if the emperor wants you to serve him, they have no right to refuse unless they die.

Fourteen was eager to make a contribution, and he also knew that gunpowder weapons were needed on the front line, so he kept persuading people to set off for Beijing.

Dai Zi is not a person who procrastinates. He doesn't even know how long his old bones can live, and he is unwilling to waste even a minute.

He called his four sons to him.

The eldest and second sons are already married and their whole family is in Shengjing. It takes time to pack up and take care of the children.

He decided to let them clean up the mess behind him, and then he would go to Beijing to meet up.

The third and fourth sons were not married yet, so they could just pack their bags and follow him to Beijing.

The Dai family split into two groups and once again set out on the journey back to Beijing.

On the way, the Fourteenth Company stopped riding horses and followed Dai Zi in a carriage.

He asked curiously, "Master Dai, I heard you developed a 28-round musket. Could you show it to me?"

Before coming here, he had visited the Shenjiying Camp, and the power of the muskets naturally made him excited.

He had learned riding and shooting since elementary school, so naturally he had dreamed of becoming a general.

Naturally, he wanted to learn how to use such a powerful weapon.

Dai Zi is now in front of them, and they still have time to spend together along the way. The one who is close to the water gets the moon first!

It was his fourth sister-in-law who reminded him of this.

Hehe, after learning this, maybe he can ask his fourth brother to send troops to attack Japan and make great contributions.

Of course, Dai Zi also wanted to have a good relationship with the Fourteenth Prince, so when he heard that he was interested, he generously offered him a musket.

He said modestly: "It is said to be a 28-shot burst, but sometimes there will be mistakes..."
