The Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Man

Despite the persuasion of the court officials, the emperor still personally led the expedition against Galdan. He also brought along the eldest prince Yinzhen, who had been working in the Ministry of War since his marriage.

He learned riding and archery since he was young and was extremely brave.

Yinzhen, who had aspired to become the first Baturu of the Qing Dynasty since he was a child, was very happy when he knew that he could follow his father to the battlefield. The first wife helped to take care of the family affairs.

He packed his bags and set off with the emperor.

Chuxiu Palace.

Knowing that her son was going to the battlefield, Concubine Hui was very worried. Firstly, it was dangerous to go to the battlefield, and Galdan was a person that even Kangxi was afraid of.

Second, in order to have a legitimate son, Yinzhen did not allow the concubines in the courtyard to give birth to children in recent years. Currently, there is only a legitimate daughter in the eldest prince's mansion.

She only had this one son, and he had no offspring. If anything happened on the battlefield, she would definitely not be able to accept it.

This time the emperor was personally leading the army, and the crown prince was acting as regent. If anything happened to the emperor on the battlefield, the crown prince could immediately ascend the throne.

If he stayed in the capital, the eldest prince could still fight and maybe even win the throne, but this stubborn son usually likes riding and shooting martial arts, but he has to run to the battlefield.

Over the years, Concubine Hui has always wanted to send her son to that position.

Why can her son of Hesheli be the emperor, but her son of Nara cannot? Yinzhen is the eldest son, and he is not inferior to the crown prince in any way.

However, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor favored the Crown Prince, so no one paid attention to her son no matter how outstanding he was.

Concubine Hui walked back and forth in Chuxiu Palace holding a handkerchief. Because she was worried about her eldest son these days, she even had a blister on the corner of her mouth.

Yinzhen also entered the palace.

I don’t know why my mother asked him to do that.

He was about to go on the expedition, and he wanted to practice more.

The thought of going to the battlefield made his blood boil.

When he arrived at Chuxiu Palace, Yinzhen was caught by Concubine Hui.

"Yinzhen, let's go and beg your father. You can't go to the battlefield. Your other brothers didn't go, so why should you go? If something happens, wouldn't that be like tearing your mother's heart out?"

Concubine Hui grabbed her son's sleeve. This son was her only support. Even if it angered the emperor, it was better than letting this son die on the battlefield.

When Yinzhen looked at his mother like this, black lines appeared on his forehead.

"Mother, you are cursing me to death, aren't you? Nothing will happen to me. I have the Emperor with me this time. If I make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, I can be granted a title sooner."

Although he knew that his mother was worried and concerned about him, he also had his own ideas.

"What are you talking about, kid?"

Seeing her son still being out of tune at this time, Concubine Hui slapped him on the head. This kid has never been able to speak since he was a child.

"The emperor is leading the army in person, and the crown prince is regulating the country. If you could stay in the capital, we could still make plans. But you insist on going to the battlefield..."

Concubine Hui had sent the maids out of the palace early in the morning, and had her confidants guard the door. Only then could she say these bold words.

"Mother, please stop talking. I am going to fight for it. I have other plans. I will leave this place of Qing to Yinreng. Then I will borrow troops from my father to attack other places.

When the time comes, I will take my mother and my family over. It would be quite comfortable to be a local emperor somewhere else. "Yinzhen has already thought about it.

I heard from Yinzhen that Japan has a lot of gold and silver, but there are too many earthquakes. When the time comes, he will conquer Japan, dig out the gold and silver ores, and then find a safe place.

When the time comes, we will bring those Japanese people here to be slaves, and they will live a comfortable life there.

"What did you say?"

"You're not going to fight anymore?!"

Concubine Hui's eyes widened a little.

Since childhood, Yinzhen and Yinreng had a bad relationship, which was also driven by them. If they had a good relationship, why would they fight for the throne?

She wanted to be the most honorable woman in the Qing Dynasty, her mother's family wanted to raise the flag with glory, and her son wanted to be the master of the world. The premise of all this was that Yinzhen must have this ambition.

Among all the princes, only the crown prince is currently a threat to Yinzhen.

If the crown prince was eliminated, the throne would belong to Yinzhen. Now Yinzhen suddenly told her that he did not intend to fight for the throne, which shocked Huifei.

She couldn't help but hold her son's hand tightly, and even her skin sank a little.

Concubine Hui stared at her son's eyes seriously and said, "Tell me, mother, did anyone say anything to you? Are you really going to give up the fight?"

No matter how capable they are or how well they plan, they cannot force someone to drink water.

She also needs to know what her son is thinking.

"Mother, no one told me anything. I have so many brothers, and my father can live so long. It's better to go out and do it on my own than to fight with my brothers and get hurt."

Yinzhen knew his mother's ambitions and expectations of him.

But he had made up his mind, and he would not waver. Yinzhen also planned to make meritorious service on the battlefield, so that he could borrow troops from Emperor Amati to attack Japan.

Concubine Hui looked at her son's expression and heard his words, which did not seem false. She did not know whether she was disappointed or something else.

"We have been fighting for so many years... How can we stop fighting..."

"Why not? The prince is doing a good job. I don't really like government affairs. I want to be a general and make great achievements on the battlefield!"

Yinzhen was getting a little impatient.

In fact, his relationship with his mother was not that close.

He was raised outside the palace since he was young, and when he came back, he had already been sent to the prince's residence. His relationship with his mother was still inferior to that of other mothers and children.

He was also somewhat dissatisfied with his mother's previous attempt to force the birth of a first wife.

"Mother, don't worry about it. I have my own ideas. Just enjoy your retirement in the palace and don't worry about too many things. When I have the chance, I will take you out to enjoy life."

Yinzhen left after saying a few words.

What the eldest prince and Concubine Hui said in Chuxiu Palace also reached Qianqing Palace.

Kangxi also had mixed feelings.

Does the eldest son really not want to fight anymore?

The concubines in the harem were also aware of Concubine Hui's request for the eldest prince to come to the palace to talk. Knowing that the mother and son parted on bad terms, some of the ladies in the harem were surprised while others were gloating.

Yikun Palace.

Looking at Yinzhen who was playing with his younger brother, Concubine Yi couldn't help but admonish them, "Don't be so disobedient like your eldest brother in the future.

Mother doesn't expect you to do anything great, as long as you grow up safely." Her sons' talents were just like that, and they were not really suited to go to the battlefield.

Previously, I thought it was not good that Yinzhen loved money and business too much, but now Concubine Yi thinks it is not bad. At least he doesn't have to go to the battlefield and make her worry.

"Mother, my elder brother is the Baturu of the Qing Dynasty. He is not disobedient, he will make meritorious deeds on the battlefield. By then, my elder brother will be a general."

Yinzhen still had a lot of confidence in his brother who was good at martial arts.

He will definitely be a help to the Emperor.

[Although he was captured once because of his eagerness for quick success, he was released later. In the end, he even made contributions on the battlefield.]

[The eldest brother has a bit of a temper, but it's not hard to get along with him. He just needs to be coaxed, and he's a soft-hearted person. ]

[My elder brother also taught me horse riding, archery and wrestling. This elder brother is also very good. ]

Yinzhen, who was playing with a small ball and ingot, also looked up and said seriously: "Big brother also gave me toys. Big brother will come back after becoming Baturu."

Perhaps because of Yinzhen, Yinzhen's weak brother gradually came into the sight of the other princes. They were still willing to love this non-threatening and well-behaved brother a little.

During this period, Yinzhen also received many gifts like Yinzhen.

Although there were some rumors in the harem that these princes wanted to win over the favorite concubine's son to their side, they turned a deaf ear to them.

Anyway, the Emperor didn't suspect them at the moment, and later this rumor was suppressed by the Empress Dowager.

After hearing Yinzhen's thoughts, Concubine Yi was a little shocked to know that the eldest prince would be captured on the battlefield. But the final result was good.

She is in a state of giving up now, and all she needs to do is raise the child well.

Thinking of the child, Concubine Yi also thought of Uya, who had lost more than she gained. Some time ago, I wonder if Uya had offended the emperor in some way.

The one-year-old Fourteenth Prince was actually sent to the Prince's Residence and raised by the Fourth Prince. Depin was also confined to her house for another year and was not allowed to visit the Fourteenth Prince without the Emperor's permission.

The concubines in the harem were also eagerly discussing how Depin had offended the emperor. Even his son was taken away.

Thinking of the one-year-old Fourteenth Prince who was living in the Prince Residence and being raised by the Fourth Prince, Concubine Yi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Yinzhen, is Fourteenth Prince doing well in the Prince Residence? Can the older one take care of the younger one?"

I've heard of mothers raising sons, but I've never heard of brothers raising younger brothers, especially in the palace. The fourteenth prince is just a little baby, can the fourth prince really take good care of his younger brother?

"Mother, the wet nurse and the palace maids are taking care of her. Fourth brother is just watching from the side and visiting her once or twice a day. As long as Fourth brother is around, no one dares to bully Fourteenth."

Yinzhen found it funny when he thought about the scene where he saw Fourth Prince Yinzhen holding his younger brother at a loss.

[According to the future trajectory, the relationship between the fourth brother and the fourteenth brother will not be good in the future. However, the biased Concubine De has been locked up. The fourteenth brother has been sent to the prince's residence, and with the fourth brother there, I think their relationship will improve a lot. ]

Concubine Yi also nodded.

The way these concubines raise their children is actually pretty much the same. They are all taken care of by their subordinates, and they just play with the children and keep an eye on the servants from time to time.

I just worry a little when the child is sick, but otherwise it's nothing. It's not impossible for the older brother to support the younger brother.

It just so happens that the Fourth Prince is about to get married, and will have a child soon. It would be fine to raise a younger brother in advance to familiarize himself with the operation.

When mentioning Depin's partiality, Yifei felt a little guilty towards Yinzhen. Yinzhen and Yinzhen were born not long apart.

Because Yinzhen was often ill, she spent most of her time and attention on him, and she had also neglected Yinzhen a little.

Thinking of this, Concubine Yi looked at Yinzhen with a softer look.

She also needs to pay more attention to her eldest son.

In the past, Yinqi was raised by the Empress Dowager, so she, as his biological mother, could not be too close to Yinqi. It would be bad if she caused the Empress Dowager's disgust.

In recent years, she only spent more time with Yinqi when she paid respects to him. Fortunately, Yinqi lived well with the Empress Dowager and was very favored. This also reduced some of her psychological burden.

In the past, children in the palace often died, and her son could grow up healthily under the care of the empress dowager. It was actually a good thing that he could be free from party disputes in the future.
