The Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Man

After the emperor summoned the ninth prince to the Qianqing Palace that day, his mood inexplicably improved. Kangxi still had this son in his heart.

Besides, he didn't want Yinzhen to get into trouble because of the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He first summoned Cao Yin to ask him to find out the recipe for making colored glaze.

There were many Westerners and various Western merchants in the Qing Dynasty. Now that we know the materials used to make colored glaze, we can find out more about other Westerners and maybe we can make colored glaze.

Having been cheated out of so much money, Kangxi didn't mind doing something dirty. But when he saw the colored glaze collection in his private vault, Kangxi thought that it was made of sand, so he asked someone to put the colored glaze ornaments in the innermost part.

Out of sight, out of mind. He didn't want others to know how much he treasured the things made of sand. But these Westerners were really evil. A slightly larger glass ornament could be sold for 100,000 silver coins.

I really don’t know whether it is because the Qing people like him are rich, or because the foreigners are too evil.

After the incident with Nan Huairen last time and the incident with Liuli this time, Kangxi also began to pay attention to foreigners. Although he had not yet taken action against the foreigners, he secretly arrested a group of them and planned to force them to reveal the news.

As for the missionary Nan Huairen who had framed Dai Zi, he was also imprisoned by him. He is now being interrogated in prison. It is known that Nan Huairen has secretly sent back a lot of information over the years.

Kangxi was furious. How blind he was to have believed these foreigners. He had now made those Western countries his great enemies. But he had to deal with the Galdan rebels first.

A few days after Yinzhen came to see him, Kangxi met many people again and made several incognito visits.

As for when he was talking to Yinzhen, Liang Jiugong was the only one in the Qianqing Palace, so I don't think too many people would know about it. It's impossible for the news to be leaked.

It was almost a week later that he ordered an investigation into the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Thinking of the rats digging holes in his house, Kangxi had no mercy at all.

Those who should be confiscated had their property confiscated, those who should be exiled were exiled, and those who should be beheaded were beheaded. The Ministry of Internal Affairs cleaned up a large area, and seeing the gold and silver that were moved out of the rat's nest, Kangxi's eyes turned red.

Moreover, these servants even secretly hid the tribute. Millions of taels of silver could be seized from a single bondservant. Kangxi had never expected that this rat's nest would grow so big right under his nose.

Kangxi was so furious in the Qianqing Palace that he almost laughed.

"Well, these dogs are so bold that even I, the emperor, am not living as well as they are. My national treasury is not as rich as the treasury of these bondservants."

People in the Qianqing Palace dare not even breathe.

Liang Jiugong hadn't seen the emperor like this for a long time, and he also wiped the cold sweat from his head.

The people most affected by the investigation into the Imperial Household Department this time were the bondservant clans of Kangxi's four concubines, as these four concubines all came from bondservant clans.

Among them, the Uya clan was the most implicated this time. They had deep roots in the imperial kitchen, and the amount of money they embezzled and the amount of false reports were countless. Except for the Guoluo clan who stopped quickly and deliberately left some less serious handles, the other bondservants were all seriously injured.

During this period, Concubine De Uya was crying in Yonghe Palace and even went to Qianqing Palace to plead for mercy. Unfortunately, Kangxi was already angry and did not have such a good temper to treat this concubine.

All of a sudden, Concubine De became Concubine De.

As for the other three concubines, they are still smart and know that they cannot offend the emperor at this time.

Originally, it was the mother's family that committed a big mistake. If they go to plead for mercy now, it will also affect them. Besides, looking at the current situation, it is useless for Uya to try to plead for mercy.

I don't know whether it was because she had too deep feelings for her maternal family or she was reluctant to give up the help from her maternal family. Seeing that her plea was not working, Depin also set her sights on the Fourth Prince.

Now that her family members were in jail, and her plea was useless, she set her sights on the emperor's son. Yinzhen was still young, still in swaddling clothes and unable to speak.

Even if he could speak, she couldn't bear to let her son beg for mercy and be scolded. She also had an unpleasant child, Yinzhen, and Depin always thought that he was raised by the Imperial Noble Consort.

If he doesn't get close to me, he is just like an ungrateful person. But after all, this son is hers, and he owes her this son anyway.

So Depin used the excuse of being sick to ask Yinzhen to come and see her.

Yinzhen did not expect that his biological mother would come to him at this time.

Looking at his biological mother who was pulling at her clothes and begging him to plead for mercy, Yinzhen's face was cold, just as cold as his heart.

Yinzhen said coldly: "Do you really want me to plead for Uya?"

Everyone knows that Concubine De was reprimanded and demoted for asking for mercy, and was also confined for a year. She herself had experienced the consequences of asking for mercy, and she also let her son go through it.

This is no different from deliberately pushing him into the water.

The emperor was furious and at the center of the storm. If he went to plead for mercy, he would definitely get no favors, but he was also burdened by filial piety and his biological mother.

Being stared at by those cold, dark eyes, Depin felt a little guilty. But she soon became confident again. "You, Mafa and the others are still in prison. Are you really unwilling to save them?

Yinzhen, you are my son. You also have the blood of the Uya clan. Even though you are now raised in the palace of the Imperial Noble Consort, the relationship between you and me as mother and son cannot be separated in the royal imperial genealogy.

You must go to the Qianqing Palace today to plead for mercy for you and Mafa. The emperor will punish me, but he will not punish you, his son."

She was so anxious that she couldn't think of any good solution.

All he could think of was how to use his son.

She didn't notice that Yinzhen's eyes were getting colder.

Yinzhen unexpectedly agreed readily, "Okay, I'll go and plead for mercy."

This time he had repaid his biological mother's kindness, and he would bear all the consequences. As for the punishment from the Emperor, he accepted it all. As for this biological mother, he would just pretend that she didn't exist.

Looking at the figure turning and leaving, Depin felt an inexplicable panic.

But she didn't call him.

Depin knew that this unlovable son's heart was always with that bitch Tong Jia. Even if he was lost, it would not be a pity, after all, she still had Yinzhen.

Yinzhen did go to the Qianqing Palace to plead for mercy, but Kangxi was furious and beat him with twenty boards.

It is said that the imperial concubine went to plead for mercy despite her illness, and she came back before the twenty boards were finished. Otherwise, Yinzhen might have to stay in bed for a long time.

After all, Yinzhen was already weak and at a young age, so he couldn't last long.
