I want to ruin the country

Lin Zexu laughed when he heard this.

"Then let's write a memorial?"

Du Shoutian Road,

"But what the Emperor said makes sense. You know his temper. Now that he's said it, he won't change. What's the point of us submitting a memorial? It'll only make the Emperor feel disgusted!"

Lin Zexu laughed heartily.

"Haha, this is what Master Du really meant, right?"

Du Shoutian Road,

"Then what does Lord Lin have to say?"

Lin Zexu said,

"I don't have any good ideas. I won't write the memorial. Besides, the things the emperor mentioned need to be arranged as soon as possible!"

Du Shoutian Road,

"Then how did the Imperial Concubine respond?"

Lin Zexu said,

"Master Du, do you think the Imperial Concubine is really planning to turn against the Emperor?"

Du Shoutian Road,

"This...how can I say that for sure?"

Lin Zexu said,

"I think the key point is what the emperor said at the end about the jade pendant!"

Du Shoutian Road,

"Are you saying that the Imperial Concubine lost face in front of the Emperor and that's why she launched an attack?"

Lin Zexu said,

"The matter of changing the Holy Ancestor's precepts is no small matter, and even the Imperial Concubine Dowager can take charge of it.

But the Imperial Concubine Dowager should first find the royal relatives and ask them to come forward and persuade the emperor according to the ancestral laws.

If the emperor persists in his wrongdoings and continues to do as he pleases, then the correct approach would be to extend this to the court officials as well."

Du Shoutian Road,

"But there's one more thing!"

"what's up?"

Du Shoutian Road,

"Look at these royal relatives, princes and nobles now. Do they still have the courage to touch the emperor's tiger whiskers?"

Lin Zexu stroked his beard and nodded in agreement.

Du Shoutian was right. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he seemed to have a grudge against these royal relatives and nobles of the Eight Banners, and he had dealt with them severely several times.

Not to mention cutting their welfare benefits and driving some people out of the capital, even closing casinos and brothels is basically aimed at them.

Because these people are the ones who often go to these places, because they are both rich and skilled.

The emperor closed these places, and not only did the ordinary bannermen become obedient, but even the royal family members and princes and nobles became much more obedient!

Now most of the capable royal family members and princes and nobles are employed by the emperor.

For example, Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Wenqing, Ruijin and Senglinqin. Of course, Senglinqin was not a bannerman, he was a Mongolian.

The families of these people have been warned to be honest and behave properly.

They had already vaguely sensed that the emperor disliked them very much.

They are always suppressed intentionally or unintentionally, so that they have to be cautious in what they say and do.

I was afraid that I might do something that didn't please the Emperor and would bring disaster to the royal family!

Even though the emperor's wives gave birth to many children, not many of them actually survived and started their own families!

Emperor Kangxi had 35 sons, but only 15 survived.

Emperor Yongzheng had 10 sons, but only 3 survived.

Emperor Qianlong had 17 sons, 6 of whom died before the age of 3, 5 died as minors, and only 7 survived to get married and start their own families.

Emperor Jiaqing had five sons, three of whom survived.

道光帝生了9个儿子，现在只有4、6、7、8、9活了下来。

The oldest of them is only 11 years old and the youngest is 6 years old.

By this calculation, there are actually not many royal relatives who are not within the fifth degree of kinship with Yining.

Moreover, Yining had already moved his brothers of the fourth and fifth generations to live in the surrounding counties.

They are not allowed to come to the capital city casually except for important events such as royal weddings and funerals.

The royal family members realized that when it came to meeting this emperor, being honest was better than anything else.

If you stand out, I'm afraid you will lose all your capital.

If the emperor recognizes you, you are a family member. If the emperor doesn’t recognize you, you are nothing.

A truly mad emperor would definitely not do this. At the very least, he would not drive out the royal family members within the five degrees of mourning from the capital.

This is because Yining is a time traveler. Not only does he have no feelings for them, but he is also always trying to make Daqing go bankrupt. How can he treat them well?

Lin Zexu said,

"That's why this matter is so strange!"

Du Shoutian Road,

"Master Lin means that the Imperial Concubine is looking for you and me to leave some room for maneuver?"

Lin Zexu stroked his beard and said,

"The Imperial Concubine Dowager is such a shrewd person. She knows our relationship with the Emperor and will definitely not easily submit a memorial to the Emperor. I guess she must be trying to achieve some purpose!"

Du Shoutian also stroked his beard and nodded.

"Is there any intention to help us turn things around?"

Lin Zexu said,

"Master Du, do you think that if we bring that jade pendant to the palace for the Emperor, will the Imperial Concubine Dowager be less angry?"

Du Shoutian waved his hand.

"Hey, Lord Lin, didn't you hear what the emperor said? He will only take another concubine if they are in love!"

Lin Zexu waved his hand.

"I don't think it's very important. If this jade pendant is really very beautiful, the emperor might like it when he sees it.

As for Yujue, the emperor likes her, how could she not like the emperor?"

Du Shoutian Road,

"You mean the key still lies with the emperor?"

Lin Zexu said,

"As the saying goes, even heroes can't resist the temptation of beautiful women, haha!"

At this moment, the Director of the Telecommunications Department came outside excitedly reporting,

"Reporting to the two elders, the Fujian Governor, Lord Ji, has called to say that Prince Gong has returned from overseas and his fleet has arrived in Fujian!"

"what!"

They were both delighted after hearing this.

"Bring in the telegram!"

Prince Gong left in March, and now it is November, so he has been gone for a full eight months.

Yining was also very happy when he received the telegram. Prince Gong had returned with five warships, which was exactly what he needed now.

"Send a telegram and ask, when will he arrive?

Prince Gong has made great contributions during his overseas mission. I will personally go to Tianjin to welcome him!"

On November 10, a line of ten brand new sky blue four-wheeled vehicles set off from Beijing to Tianjin.

These four-wheeled vehicles are the diesel agricultural vehicles of later generations, but they are equipped with the newly released 70-horsepower 495 inline four-cylinder diesel engine, which makes much less noise than a single-cylinder diesel engine.

Moreover, it can carry more and run faster. It can run at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour when carrying three tons of cargo.

As soon as these cars ran on the streets of Beijing, the whole city was in an uproar!

A shop owner said to a stall owner,

"Brother, I heard this is another new gadget invented by the Emperor, and it's called a car!

There are no cows or horses in sight, how did it escape? Did it hide the cows and horses inside?"

The one called the second brother said,

"Boss, it's a car. It's pulling thousands of pounds of stuff so fast. I don't know if they're hiding cattle and horses inside, but at least they don't need to be fed with grass!"

The young man beside him said,

"What kind of grass is that? They say it's the same as that tricycle, it runs on oil!"
