Chapter 437 Kangxi: The wind is cold, and your bang is even colder
Kangxi helped the man up again and said, "You don't need to thank me. It was you who bravely killed the enemy and made many contributions. You have made indelible contributions to our Qing Dynasty in conquering the Zunghars and attacking Tsarist Russia."
"Although your elder brother, fourth sister and fourteenth brother have made outstanding contributions, I have never underestimated your contributions and efforts."
These two sentences moved the Seventh Prince so much that he burst into tears: "Ama, my son..."
"My son will continue to work hard!"
"Sooner or later, I will help you bring the Qing Dynasty to the top of the world, make all the countries near and far submit, and make the Qing Dynasty's territory more vast and boundless than the Mongol Empire."
"Good!" Kangxi patted him on the shoulder excitedly: "Good boy, you have ambition."
Yin Xuan, who was watching the whole process, also had starry eyes: [It is said that all of Kangxi's nine sons are outstanding. Now it seems that we need to correct this. It is said that all of Kangxi's sons are not ordinary, okay?]
[Wow, even the seventh brother who didn’t participate in the entire fight for the throne has such great ambitions…]
[Kangxi was a master at educating his sons. He just didn't know how to look at the world from a developmental perspective, and was limited to the Qing Dynasty. There were too many capable sons, but too few to inherit the throne. Others killed three men with two peaches, but he almost hanged all the ambitious sons with the throne.]
cough cough cough.
Kangxi and the princes, who had just looked so proud and complacent, said:
A mouthful of saliva choked his throat and he coughed so hard that it shook the earth.
But the instigator looked at me with concern and even asked if the weather was too cold and I was choking on the wind.
Kangxi thought to himself that the wind was cold, and your noise was even colder.
It's so annoying that if the child wasn't his own, he would have killed this little talker!
As the first prince to be hanged in history, the eldest prince was afraid that his famous case of taking on dirty work would be brought up again, so he quickly took out a hush money - a Tsarist Russian nesting doll made of pure gold and inlaid with various gems.
From big to small, one inside another.
There are a total of eighteen layers.
The dolls on the outside are one foot tall, but the ones on the innermost layer are only as big as the tip of a finger.
It is made of exquisite materials, has excellent workmanship, and has a strong exotic flavor.
It’s bigger, flashier and more valuable.
As soon as he made a move, Yin Xuan was shocked: "This, this is too expensive and too gorgeous, right? But my younger brother is already my uncle, it's not appropriate for him to play with this, let's leave it to my eldest nephew."
Hongyu, who was already sixteen years old, almost waved his hand to leave an afterimage in the crowd: "No, no, no, no, no."
"My nephew is old enough to serve in the imperial court and help Khan Mafa share the burden. Why would he need this? Uncle Eighteenth, please keep it. It is a token of your father's love after all."
That's it.
The eldest prince nodded vigorously: "This is a birthday gift that I specially prepared for you, my eighteenth brother. It's just that I was busy at the front and the journey was long, so it was delayed until now. You won't blame me, will you?"
Yinxuan: ...
What else could Yinxuan say?
He could only accept this heavy gift and try hard to show a grateful smile to his elder brother.
Ok.
Kangxi and the other princes were also grateful to the eldest prince.
Thanks to his generous gift, Little Eighteen stopped talking about Kangxi's successes and failures in parenting and started complaining about his proudest works instead.
Big Brother: ...
Unhappy, especially unhappy.
But Khan Ama patted him on the shoulder and told him that he had worked hard. He invited him to get on the dragon chariot with the crown prince and little Eighteen, and enter the palace through the Daqing Gate together!
Seeing this kind of imperial treatment, who wouldn't say that the eldest prince has made outstanding contributions and is highly praised by the emperor?
Since the father is like this, what's wrong with his son giving him a way out?
Anyway, only the father and son, Baotai and Hongxi could hear it, which was like meat rotting in the pot. It was fine for the eighteenth brother to complain a few words, as long as Khan Ama and his brothers were happy.
He is already an iron-hat king, he needs to be more open-minded~
Even when the prince curled his lips, he pretended not to see it.
He talked incessantly all the way, telling Kangxi all the interesting stories from his time leading the army to pursue Tsewang Arabtan in the direction of Tsarist Russia to his final return to Beijing.
He once again volunteered to go to the battlefield to fight against the Japanese as soon as possible.
The eldest prince, who was born in the eleventh year of Kangxi's reign, is now forty years old.
Tsarist Russia was bitterly cold and the environment was extremely harsh.
He has been in battles repeatedly in the past two years, and looks even more weathered, as if he is seven or eight years older than his actual age.
Kangxi was deeply distressed: "Baoqing, Khan Ama knows that you are devoted to the country and wish to kill all the disloyal people in the world. But no matter how loyal you are to the country, you can't ignore your health!"
Yeah.
The prince personally poured him tea and said, "Brother has indeed become much older and haggard in this year. I am really worried about him."
"When we return to the palace, I will ask the imperial physician to take your pulse and take good care of your body."
"What did Eighteenth Brother say? Your body is the capital of everything. Only if you keep your body useful can you do whatever you want. Otherwise, no matter how ambitious you are, it will be in vain."
Yin Xuan, who was struggling with the golden hibiscus curls in the corner, looked up in confusion: [Is he getting stronger? I actually saw the second brother, the crown prince, caring about the eldest brother!]
[According to normal logic, the eldest brother has been crowned as an iron-hatted king. Shouldn’t the second brother, the crown prince, have a strong sense of crisis? Why is he…]
[Is he putting on a show in front of Kangxi? Well, Kangxi liked to set an example for the other princes, so that we brothers could learn from him and Uncle Yu and Uncle Gong. But after Uncle Gong passed away, he didn’t mention the fact that his son didn’t even get the title of a prince.]
This is simply a dragon riding on the face.
It is equivalent to pointing at Kangxi and saying that you are hypocritical and bragging, and that you don’t love your brothers as much as you say.
It's like pointing at a monk and calling him a bald thief!
In an instant, Kangxi's old face was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and it seemed that a storm was about to come.
The Crown Prince and the eldest prince, who were just feeling embarrassed and annoyed, and were wondering whether they should go along with the little guy's wishes, no longer cared about anything else.
As if by reflex, they both rushed to grab the golden lotus curling ...
"That's right, let me have a taste too."
Then, in front of Yinzhen, the two brothers took half of the snack that he was holding and threw it into their mouths.
The movements were so coordinated and smooth that Yinxuan was stunned.
After a long while, he shouted, "You, you are the crown prince and the iron-hat prince, why are you so... so..."
Yinzhen scratched his head and couldn't find a suitable adjective!
He just looked at the two of them in shock.
puff~
Hahaha~
There were laughters coming from outside the sedan chair. Without even looking, one could tell that the other princes had heard the noise and were joining in the laughter.
At that moment, the Crown Prince and the eldest prince felt that they had lost all their face in their lives.
But as long as they can keep Eighteenth Brother and his secret, they feel it's all worth it.
