Chapter 464: Filial Piety Model Xiao 8
Duke Anle’s nightmare was a carnival for the whole government and the people.
Those issues of the Qing Daily were reprinted again and again, including newspapers, operas, storytelling, etc.
Various forms, various interpretations.
The people rushed to tell each other the news, and the court was also filled with joy.
After all, his long life was approaching, and the Qing Dynasty had successively acquired the territory of two countries, one of which was taken without any military effort, which was enough to be recorded in history books.
Even the usually stingy Minister of Revenue became unprecedentedly generous and agreed to use money from the national treasury to hold a grand 60th birthday banquet for the emperor.
Let’s celebrate together.
But now Kangxi has just taken into his pocket all those treasures from Japan that the former King of Korea had looted with great effort. He has everything he needs, no matter how much money he has, right?
With a wave of his hand, he not only took the money from his own private treasury.
He also took out a lot of extra silver and money to make a batch of gold and silver coins with auspicious cloud patterns to reward all the elderly people aged 60 and above in the Qing Dynasty.
Celebrate the festival with seniors all over the world.
As soon as the news came out, the court and the public were jubilant. Yin Xuan couldn't help but touch Xiao Pang's chin: [Hehe, this is really a huge sum of money? Not bad, not bad, in this way, the people will surely respect and honor the elderly more, which is much better than holding a banquet for thousands of elders? But...]
How much money would it take to benefit the entire country?
Yinzhen was afraid that his father Kangxi would become more and more wealthy and then find that there were too many elderly people over 60 years old in the Qing Dynasty, and his small private treasury could not afford them. The emperor would have no choice but to go back on his word and enrich himself.
In order to reduce the pressure on Kangxi's father as much as possible, the young prince generously donated 50,000 taels.
Kangxi refused and was thinking about him, but he snorted arrogantly: "What belongs to Khan Ama is what belongs to Khan Ama, and what belongs to a son is what belongs to a son. There is no conflict between the two."
"My son really wants to contribute to your longevity, Khan Ama. Please grant my son's little wish!"
"otherwise……"
"Otherwise my son will leave and only leave his thoughts to you!"
Well.
In order to make his filial piety more concrete, the little guy brought the silver when he came.
Now she just ran away after expressing her feelings, without giving Kangxi any chance to refute.
Kangxi was so pleased that he spent the next three days showing off his beloved son's thoughtfulness.
Even if he doubled the amount he gave as a tribute, the crown prince, who was given a full 100,000 taels, could not take away his glory, let alone the other princes.
In Kangxi's eyes, they were just a group of ugly women.
The princes were helpless, as they had all heard Little Eighteen's inner thoughts, and they also knew that the third person who compared a woman to a flower was a fool.
You have to imitate others even if you are ugly!
Otherwise, not only would it be a lack of originality, it might even be devoid of conscience and filial piety.
At this time, they were particularly envious of those brothers who were on business trips outside.
How great would it be to be away from dislike?
In fact, they envied the few princes who were away from Beijing, and the princes who were away from Beijing were also homesick.
After hearing that the court had added two provinces, Japan and Korea, the Sixteenth Prince sighed: "My brother thought that we brothers had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, but it turned out that the work was already on the way before we were ready to return to the capital."
The Fourth Prince flicked his forehead with his finger and said, "Why, the Qing Dynasty is expanding its territory, and you are not happy?"
"How is that possible?" The Sixteenth Prince said in a serious tone, "Let Fourth Brother know that although I am not one of the Nine Dragons, I am also a good descendant of the Aisin-Gioro family. I have memorized that list deeply. I am ready to fight the enemy at any time, to avenge the country and to take precautions!"
"If that's the case, why are you whining? Just work diligently. Live and work until you're old. Maybe if we work together, we can defeat those on the list and those who are not, and become the real dominant family."
Sixteenth Prince: ...
My brother’s dream is ambitious, but isn’t it a little too difficult?
The Fourth Prince chuckled, "Even Yugong and his family were able to move mountains successfully. We have several countries and tens of millions of people! It should be easier for us."
The Sixteenth Prince has a saying: "Too many dragons to rely on, too few dragons to be relied on." He doesn't know whether he should tell this to his Fourth Brother.
But his fourth brother had a clear goal and was determined to finish the job as soon as possible.
Try to get back to the capital before the Wanshou Festival and wish Khan Ama a happy birthday sincerely.
Then, we will obey his orders and be ready to sow the seeds of the policy of aboriginal rule in the soil of Japan and Korea.
The Fifteenth Prince was so busy that he had to inspect and supervise the local land tax and punish all lawbreakers. At the same time, he had to take care of his pregnant wife.
When he heard the good news, he was stunned, and then ecstatic.
"Okay, okay, in this way, Khan Ama's 600,000th birthday will be celebrated with great fanfare. As his son and daughter-in-law, we must go back to celebrate his birthday. In this way, Fu Jin will not have to travel back and forth with the master, and can stay in the capital to rest and take care of her pregnancy. And then..."
He can stay in the capital with the help of his children and his wife, and doesn't have to go to Japan and Korea to collect land taxes!
Well.
A cow is still a cow even if it is taken to Nanjing. No matter how hard the Fifteenth Prince tries, he cannot change his lazy nature.
If you slack off even a little, you run the risk of being exposed.
But the pot fits the lid, and the Fifteenth Lady never asked him to make any progress.
It is said that Beizi is good, but Beile is hard to find. As for the title of Junwang or Prince, no matter what it is, as long as the emperor's heart is like mine, she will be the most envied prince's wife in the imperial city.
As soon as these words were spoken, the fighting spirit that the Fifteenth Prince had finally built up faded a lot.
Instead, the couple's relationship became more harmonious, and good news followed.
The ideas of the eighty, ninety, and fourteenth were much simpler: they wanted to return to Beijing, hoped to be rewarded, and also wanted to have a royal hat.
Although Lao Jiu's trick successfully made North Korea lose its name and become one of the new provinces of the Qing Dynasty, it also made them suspicious of the people of the Japanese country, who suspected that they were crying wolf.
The purpose is to kill two birds with one stone.
The tenth prince was so angry that he laughed. He even complained in the letter to Yinzhen: See! It’s not good to know too much about the Central Plains culture. They even know the Thirty-Six Stratagems!
If we do this, when will my brothers be able to return to the capital?
Thinking of my eighteenth brother.
I miss my Khan and my brothers, and the flowers and plants in the capital.
It's all Brother Nine's fault for doing things quietly without even discussing it with everyone else...
This time, the trouble of taking advantage of others has become even bigger, right?
If you say something else, Yinzhen might agree with it, but if you say this, he will say something about his tenth brother and flatter his ninth brother.
What a stroke of genius, not only did he avenge his humiliation, but he also avenged his brother.
The Qing Dynasty gained the territory of Korea without bloodshed.
Praise as much as possible.
Finally, I have to persuade his tenth brother that even though his ninth brother was a little impulsive, he still carried the pig trough for thousands of miles - for you.
Others were puzzled and even blamed Ninth Brother, but Tenth Brother shouldn't have done that.
A lot of blah blah blah.
He wrote three pages in total, which left the Tenth Prince dumbfounded. He wanted to ask: Is it possible that although Ninth Brother carried the pig trough, the one he wanted to feed was you, the little pig?
