My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1782 Hope your son will become a dragon
Everyone entered the palace.

Except for Yarjianga, the eldest prince and the third prince, no one else dared to look up.

They were all anxious, waiting to be scolded.

Kangxi glared at Yaerjiang'a and said, "You won glory, didn't you? You used all these cheap tricks and still have the nerve to smile. What are you so proud of?
Yaerjianga laughed twice and said, "Khan Ama, the situation on the battlefield is unpredictable, so it's not wrong to use more strategies."

"Plot? You're so embarrassed to say it, isn't it a rogue method?"

Kangxi said bluntly: "When we are driving the prey in the enclosure, some people are stealing the deer herd. I have never heard of anyone stealing the prey after shooting it!"

Yaer Jiang'a puffed out his chest and said, "This... there is no agreement that you cannot snatch prey, but you can snatch it."

Baotai felt something was wrong, turned to look at Yaerjiang'a, and whispered, "Brother Wang, whose prey did you steal?"

He had thought too simply before, and believed that the Plain White Banner troops had not left the enclosure, but were hunting the prey they had missed before for a second round.

It's actually just stealing the prey?

shameless!

Yaerjianga raised his eyebrows and looked at the eldest prince.

The eldest prince snorted and said, "You did it on purpose. You know that the Bordered Yellow Banner is the most powerful, and you want to reduce its advantage!"

Yaerjiang Adao said, "Really? Isn't this right next to the enclosure of the Bordered Yellow Banner? It's close, so it's convenient for moving around."

Baotai heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, as he was glad that they didn't steal the prey of the Plain Yellow Banner. But when he thought about losing his camp, his face drooped again.

Kangxi looked at Baotai again and said, "You still want to get away with it? Do you think the Zhenghuang Banner has taken advantage? You are the commander-in-chief, have you achieved anything?"

Baotai's face flushed, and he said, "This...this...I really don't have the ability..."

Kangxi sneered, "So you just gave up power. You don't even have the courage to try? You are 21 this year, not 71. You are defeated, so what? You have not achieved anything while defending the camp. You have not even fought a battle, but you surrender. As a descendant of Emperor Taizu, don't you feel ashamed?"

Baotai's chin was pressed against his chest, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

When he was guarding the camp at the end, he acted a little cowardly.

At that time, I thought that those who stayed behind on my side were not good at shooting, had weak defense, and did not have the advantage in numbers, so there was no need to go through so much trouble.

But in fact, the war was less than a quarter of an hour away from ending.

Thirty men defending against fifty.

If it really comes to a hand-to-hand fight, it is possible to delay for a quarter of an hour.

The emperor was right to scold him. He was confused today and acted in an unpresentable manner.

After Kangxi finished scolding his nephews, he looked at the princes and became even more furious.

"Yinzhi, are you the commander of the Bordered Yellow Banner, or are you a headless fly? You have no plan, running around in all directions, and in the end, even with the troops of the Plain Yellow Banner, you failed to capture the camp. Are you a waste?"

Kangxi disparaged him without any hesitation.

In the past, I took him into consideration because he was the eldest son, so even when I scolded him, it was always a private conversation between father and son.

This was the first time that he had been scolded so rudely in front of the other princes.

The eldest prince also knew that today's fight was a failure, and said ashamedly: "It was my son's poor planning that led him to be led by the nose."

The Yellow Banner, which was originally the strongest, joined forces but still failed to win the battle to seize the camp.

As the head coach, the eldest prince should bear the greatest responsibility.

Kangxi stood up and said disdainfully, "You still have a plan? You are indecisive and have no courage. If you hadn't changed your mind so much, and had focused on attacking the camp, defending the camp, and hunting, you would have won a steady victory and you wouldn't have been beaten to pieces!"

This one sentence left everyone stunned.

The third prince hurriedly said, "Khan Ama, the Bordered Yellow Banner has two outstanding members!"

The eldest prince's team failed to capture the camp, but I succeeded!
Kangxi turned his head and looked at the Third Prince, who also had a bad face, and said, "With a scheming Wolong like you here, you still want to win two championships? Have you forgotten your duty? You are the defending general, and you have sent out all your troops, leaving an empty camp. How dare you?! Have you ever thought that there are other troops who will go to seize the camp?"

The Third Prince was confused and could not speak clearly: "This...this...someone sneaked into the camp?"

The Ninth Prince couldn't stop smiling.

It turns out that this is what luck means when it comes, you can't stop it.

I was originally worried that there might not be enough time left and Chunlin might not be able to achieve complete success with his elite troops.

Is it really a bargain?

This brilliant smile was irritating to Kangxi.

Kangxi glared at the Ninth Prince and said, "It's just that I, as a man of the Eight Banners, don't even have the courage to fight head-on. Instead of being ashamed, I'm proud of it!"

The Ninth Prince was not convinced and said, "What Khan Ama said doesn't make sense. If you lose, you will be scolded. If you win, you will also be scolded? This is not homework. There must be a fixed way to deal with everything. If that's the case, wouldn't it be just empty talk?"

Kangxi sneered and said, "According to what you said, I can't teach you a lesson, so I should praise you?"

The Ninth Prince heard the tone was not right, swallowed his saliva, and immediately said carefully: "Yes, yes, my father-in-law wants his son to be successful, so he is very disappointed. My son is indeed not as good as the brothers in academic performance..."

Seeing that he was so cowardly, Kangxi glanced at him and looked at someone else.

The Seventh Prince stood below the Third Prince, expressionless.

Kangxi looked at him and gritted his teeth, "Is this what you are capable of? After three games, you can't win a single game, and you were intercepted and your camp was taken away. Don't you want to say anything?"

The Seventh Prince had reflected on his mistakes along the way, and now he did not insist on talking too much. He honestly admitted his mistakes and said, "It was my son who made the wrong decision. Since he knew that the Plain White Banner Enclosure was wrong, he should have retreated to the Plain Yellow Banner Camp."

The enclosure of the Bordered Yellow Banner is adjacent to that of the Plain White Banner, which means that any manipulation by the Plain White Banner would only target the Bordered Yellow Banner.

In that case, the result in the paddock would be a tie for Zhenghuangqi.

Another advantage in defending the camp is to secure the second place.

We'll wait and see how the battle develops then.

If the Bordered Yellow Banner attacks the Plain White Banner, there will still be a chance to capture the Bordered Yellow Banner camp.

In that case, we can maintain the second place and fight for the first place, and be invincible.

Instead of being in a tie and being in last place like now.

Seeing that he could understand all this, Kangxi stopped preaching and looked at the Eighth Prince, critically saying, "You can think of intercepting the troops of the Plain Yellow Banner and reducing their combat power, but you didn't think that you are in charge of hunting and need to protect the hunting ground. Although hunting involves luck, you don't have the determination to win. You put your success on vague luck. Isn't that stupid?"

The Eighth Prince clenched his fists and wanted to defend himself, but he swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.

It has always been like this in the paddock.

The places that everyone drew lots for were about the same size, but the total number of deer and wild animals there was not fixed.

No one can tell how many deer there were originally, or whether there were any introduced deer.

In this way, the outcome of the hunt will be somewhat left to fate.

It is not just the Eighth Prince who is like this, it is also the case with those who hunt every year.

But the emperor's scolding was not wrong. He indeed did not take the fight in the paddock too seriously, because it did not demonstrate his ability.

Only by capturing and defending the camp can one stand out in front of everyone.

After Kangxi finished criticizing, he looked away and looked at the Tenth Prince.

In this afternoon's three-flag competition, many people failed, but there were also some who passed.

The Tenth Prince is qualified.

He defended well and easily fended off the first two rounds. When he faced the coalition forces for the last time, he ran out of arrows and had to engage in hand-to-hand combat, but he still blocked the main camp and held back more than 200 people with 140 men.

But this is just a drill, not a real battle.

The soldiers were stamped with a red seal and reported it as "battle damage", which meant there was no loss; however, many horses were injured, but it was reported as a real loss.

This is a man who is capable of ruthless behavior.

Only thinking about winning, without a sense of the overall situation.

Kangxi never looked down on his son, the Tenth Prince.

He thought of a phrase, a tiger in a cage.

If this is released, it will hurt people.

Kangxi thought so in his heart, and did not praise him. He still had no good words, and said: "Is this your ability? In the end, you all fell down. Who would play with you like this on the battlefield?"

The Tenth Prince lowered his eyes and said, "It was my son who failed to prepare well and made a mistake."

Kangxi sneered and looked at the last prince, the Thirteenth Prince.

The Thirteenth Prince felt extremely ashamed after being looked at like this.

He didn't expect such an outcome.

As the defending general, even though the camp was not lost by him, he still has to take responsibility.

Also, compared with the layers of defense of the Zhengbai Banner, he had only set up horse traps and tripwires, and the defenses were insufficient.

When they finally left the camp, although they were following the Seventh Prince's orders, they had not made any defensive preparations.

"Do you realize how embarrassing it is now?"

Kangxi lost his usual gentleness towards the Thirteenth Prince and said mercilessly: "I praised you for your archery skills during the daily practice, so you think you are invincible? What is the result? You are just like Zhao Kuo. Compared with ordinary armored men, what great achievements have you made? You are my son. If you were born in an ordinary family, I am afraid you would not even be chosen for the armored men!"

The Thirteenth Prince was in a similar posture to Baotai, like a quail, also trying to find a crack in the ground.

No one escaped and everyone was scolded.

The Ninth Prince didn't dare to laugh anymore and just stood there obediently.

It seems that I should stay out of hunting matters in the future.

It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, so what's the point of competing?

He cursed endlessly.

Then, the Ninth Prince realized something was wrong.

Huh?
There was one person who didn’t get scolded!

The Ninth Prince raised his head and looked at the Fourth Prince who was standing alone beside him.

Is there any place to reason here?

Those who work hard are not getting any better, but the lazy ones are just sitting there pretending to be good?

Even though they were brothers, the Ninth Prince was jealous.

When the Ninth Prince made this move, the Eighth Prince and the Tenth Prince on his left and right noticed it.

The two of them followed the Ninth Prince's gaze and saw the Fourth Prince.

The Eighth Prince couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

This isn't a competition on the parade ground, so why do we need an officer?
It's just that the Fourth Prince is taking shortcuts to avoid weaknesses, but the benefits are huge.

This way, he can be honored in front of the emperor and take the opportunity to comment on it.

If this mouth is crooked...

The Eighth Prince couldn't help but become alert.

Khan Ama was so angry after watching the battle. Was it because the Fourth Prince fanned the flames?
The Eighth Prince doesn't want to think too badly of others, but if it were him, would he add glory to his brothers, or take the opportunity to step on them?
He couldn't say...
