I became a group pet after dressing as nine elder brothers

Outside the Qianqing Palace.

Liang Jiugong looked at the person coming from a distance, and couldn't help but let out a low cry of surprise in his heart.

The emperor was restless after receiving an urgent note last night, and today he asked him to wait here again, but he never thought that it was actually to welcome this lord!

Liang Jiugong lowered his eyes, covering his eyes in surprise.

He stepped forward three steps at a time: "...Master Mingzhu, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is waiting for you!"

The visitor is Nalan Mingzhu who has been to Eastern Europe for five years!

Facing Liang Jiugong, he stopped in his tracks, and he cupped his hands with a friendly attitude and said with a smile: "Eunuch Liang, how is Jiu Shu Greetings?"

Liang Jiugong was a little surprised.

He couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Nalan Pearl carefully.

Compared with him five years ago, Mingzhu has aged a long time now, his skin is dark and wrinkled, but his eyes are still piercing.

What's more different is that his temperament has undergone a 180-degree change.In the past, it was a matter of saving face to move the corners of the mouth at myself, so why would I say hello to myself like this?

Liang Jiugong was astonished and at the same time raised his face and answered a few words in a neutral manner, and then took Nalan Mingzhu into the East Nuan Pavilion.

Kangxi sitting at the top.

He was full of emotion in his heart, the monarch and his minister wanted to see each other for five years, how could they still remember those nasty things when they left?

No matter Kangxi or Nalan Mingzhu, what came to mind were the memories of the time when the monarch and his ministers met, their eyes were rosy, and their noses were sour.

Nalan Mingzhu knelt down to pay her respects.

I wanted to speak, but my throat was choked in an instant, and tears rolled in my eyes.He was silent for a long time before shouting tremblingly: "Slave...slave pays respects to the emperor!"

It was five years after this greeting.

How many times he thought that he would never return to the capital, and Kangxi naturally had such thoughts in his heart.Hearing Nalan Mingzhu's choked up words, he couldn't help blinking, trying to control his urge to cry.

Kangxi quickly shouted and gave him a seat immediately.Nalan Mingzhu touched the corner of the stool with her buttocks, secretly wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

When the two of them were emotionally stable, Kangxi cheered up and asked about Nalan Mingzhu's experience on the way.Speaking of this, Kangxi also became a little curious: "Speaking of which, why did you come back from the sea?"

Nalan Mingzhu replied with a smile: "The servant crossed the Raksha country and headed towards Eastern Europe, passed through an empire called Denmark to Germany, then reached England from Germany, and finally returned to Taiwan Island on a merchant ship from England."

To put it lightly, just listening to the countries involved in it, one can tell that Nalan Pearl's trip is not an ordinary journey.

indeed so.

Just thinking about the things she encountered on her journey, Nalan Mingzhu was very emotional.

Especially after returning to Nalan Mansion.

Hearing that Suo'etu has never recovered since he was dismissed from office, and that it is difficult to find news about him in the court, and that his previous positions and titles were also taken away by Chang Hai brothers, Mingzhu secretly rejoiced that she was sent out by the emperor.

Even if the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew that they would be demoted, at least their family members were not affected.

"From your appearance, it seems that you have encountered many things?" Kangxi was curious.

In the past, only foreigners set foot on the land of the Central Plains, except for a few foreign traders, very few people set foot on the territory of other countries.Kangxi looked at Nalan Mingzhu carefully, and told him to listen to some interesting stories on the way with great interest.

Nalan Mingzhu did have a lot to say.

He smiled wryly: "Has your majesty ever thought about it, but two or three countries the size of Beijing City occupy territories hundreds of times larger overseas?"

Kangxi widened his eyes.

He subconsciously sat up straight, stared at Nalan Mingzhu and said in a deep voice, "Can you explain it in detail?"

"Also ask the emperor to take out the globe."

"Liang Jiugong."

There is a globe in the inner room of Kangxi East Nuan Pavilion.When he had nothing to do, Kangxi often stroked the sphere, imagining the overseas scenery and humanities. Seeing that Nalan Mingzhu could talk, he was instantly excited and stared at Nalan Mingzhu.

Nalan Mingzhu was not in a hurry.

He pointed to a piece of land on the globe and began to introduce in detail: "This is North America, and this is South America. These two lands are bigger than our Central Plains! And..."

His fingers lightly circled the locations of several European countries: "And their army slaughtered the aborigines on those lands, and first occupied the land near the sea."

"...those aborigines don't resist."

"They have no guns, ammunition, or even clothing."

Nalan Pearl shook her head.

He added in Kangxi's shocked eyes: "The resources in those places are not inferior to our Qing Dynasty. After they occupied a part of the land, they excavated minerals, various animals and plants, and then used them to build their country, churches, ships, and artillery shells. Attack more land... these small countries have occupied an unknown amount of land before the return of the slaves."

These small countries that he once looked down upon.

Nalan Mingzhu couldn't hide her shock at what she did.He eloquently described what he had seen and heard.

Of course, Nalan Pearl also concealed a lot.

For example, he experienced a revolution, and he was shocked that the revolution did not shed blood, and he was even more shocked by the idea that those Englishmen proposed that the king would rule but not rule, and that the power of the country would be transferred from the monarch to the parliament.

This is obviously treasonous, unimaginable, and what makes Nalan Mingzhu even more unbelievable is that this proposal was accepted by the common people, the nobles, and even the royal family...

Of course, in Nalan Mingzhu's next itinerary, he also heard that there were repeated uprisings in that country, but the status of the royal family was recognized by everyone, which really made Nalan Mingzhu unable to figure it out.

Nalan Pearl skipped over these contents.

He focuses on describing the land these countries have occupied in recent decades, the rate at which their populations have expanded, and their rapacious desires.

He pointed again to Africa.

Nalan Mingzhu sighed: "The people here are dark-skinned. They regard them as the incarnations of devils, who should be enslaved. They are called black slaves and are sold everywhere to work. On the way back from the slaves, there are often black slaves walking around. The boat was exhausted and thrown directly from the boat."

Kangxi had heard a little about black slaves.

Yinzhen once mentioned after returning from the southern tour that the rubber trees in Zhongzhi Garden also sent many black slaves. Hearing that they could come in and out freely with wages, these black slaves were so excited that they burst into tears.

But Kangxi never thought of it.

These polite foreigners in the land of the Central Plains actually massacred the residents of another land and treated the residents of other lands as slaves.

Kangxi had long been wary of foreigners.

The incident of the Portuguese coming in and out around the Guangdong Mansion back then had already made him suspicious of the evil intentions of the foreigners, and Nalan Mingzhu's words just verified his thinking.

What if the entire Qing Dynasty was weak when the Portuguese and other foreigners came to the Central Plains?Thinking of how many foreign fleets occupied Haojing, Xiangjiang and even Taiwan Island in the last years of the previous dynasty, Kangxi's brows turned cold.

There is no doubt that they will choose to massacre or choose to use the people as slaves, and occupy the land of the Central Plains without hesitation!

Nalan Mingzhu was still rambling.

After talking about territorial resources and black slaves, he also mentioned culture and art, as well as various high school systems in Europe, advanced mathematics, planetology, female caesarean section operations carried out in Germany, blood circulation theory... and so on. Content he has never seen before.

The missionaries also brought a lot of books about mathematics and planetology. Kangxi's expression was still quite calm, but he couldn't help getting excited when he arrived at the latter, "Where are those books...?"

"Most of the book slaves that can be carried with them have been brought back, and some books have been detained by the officials of the English fleet, but the slave..."

A smug smile rose from the corner of Nalan Mingzhu's mouth: "It has already been written on the inside of the clothes, just remove it and let someone write it down."

He is the happiest.

It was the enthusiasm for learning foreign languages ​​that started in the study room that year, so that most of him and the accompanying guards learned a foreign language or two, which was a great advantage during the trip to a foreign country.

Those foreigners thought that by guarding against him, they would be able to avoid information leakage, but they didn't expect that all the people in the group were proficient in multiple languages.

Kangxi's heart was surging.

For the first time, he was glad that he ordered Nalan Mingzhu to go to Eastern European countries.He is cautious and thoughtful, not to mention that everything is planned before action, and he has accumulated experience in the court for many years, so he was able to transport those books back from the surveillance of foreigners in one fell swoop.

If you change to a young man, I'm afraid it will be folded in here.

Kangxi stood up and patted Nalan Mingzhu's shoulder heavily: "Okay! Okay! Okay! This matter will be handed over to you and Cheng Baylor Yinzhi to copy and translate all the books as soon as possible."

Nalan Mingzhu was overjoyed: "The servant obeys the order."

To be able to get the affairs explained by the emperor at the first time, on the other hand, means that after this matter is over, he will return to the court.

Thinking of this, Nalan Mingzhu was full of energy.

He resigned excitedly, and wanted to go back to work at the first moment, but he happened to meet the two elder brothers when he walked to the door.

Yinzhen:……?

Yinzhen: ...(ΩДΩ)! ! !

Nalan Mingzhu nodded to the two elder brothers.

Now is not a good time to reminisce about the past, but Nalan Mingzhu, who was about to leave, was grabbed by Yinzhen.

Yinzhen stared at him for a long time.

In the end, he still couldn't help it, and tentatively opened his mouth: "Mingzhu... my lord?"

"It's the slave."

"... When did you come back?"

"The servant arrived in the capital last night." Nalan Mingzhu said in a gentle voice, and his attitude towards Brother Nine was very good.

After returning to Nalan Mansion, he also asked about the situation of his family members.Since he left the capital, the youngest son, Kui Fang, has been the companion of Brother Jiu, and he has received a lot of care.

Thinking of this, Nalan Mingzhu's attitude towards Yinzhen became more and more gentle, and she bowed deeply to him: "The youngest son, Kui Fang, has been taken care of by many Jiu elder brothers in the past five years, and this servant thanked Jiu elder brother for Kui Fang..."

Yinzhen: ...

His conscience was brutally tortured - to be honest, Yinzhen didn't have any impression of his two accompanying readers :)

The homework in the study room was basically escaped by him. Who took care of them?While thinking wildly, Yinzhen bit the bullet and cried out.

Nalan Mingzhu said a few words before leaving.

On the contrary, Kangxi got impatient waiting inside, and called a group of people in again: "Yinzhen, Yinzhen? I remember you went outside? Why did you come back so soon today?"

Following Yinzhi's move last year, construction of Yinzhen's mansion also started, and with the relocation of the Eight Banners Children's School, Yinzhen and Yinzhen took turns going out, usually returning before the palace gates were locked.

"Reporting to Khan Ama, it's about Longkodo."

"What happened to Longkodo?" Kangxi's face sank immediately.

Kangxi's original intention was to let Longkodo air for him to reflect on himself, but he never expected that this bastard would be so decadent that he would stay at home every day. In the end, Kangxi, who was angry, didn't bother to care about Longkodo's life and death.

It is obviously not a good thing to get news of Longkodo from Yinzhen and Yinzhen.He pressed his temple, which was already throbbing, and repeated again: "If Longkodo dares to make trouble again, I will not let you off this time."

Kangxi's voice just fell.

Yinzhen sighed: "Ama Khan, this time the problem is serious."

Kangxi: ...

He felt his blood flow backwards, and his whole head was buzzing.Kangxi took a deep breath and prepared himself mentally: "Speak."

No matter how serious I can accept it.

Yinzhen looked at Khan Ama's expression and said slowly: "Longkodo...he's crazy!"

Kangxi: ...?

Crazy... what do you mean?

A trace of curiosity flashed in Nalan Mingzhu's eyes.

In my memory, Long Kedo was still the emperor's favorite minister, a spirited young man with both civil and military skills, but why did he go crazy in five years?

"What do you mean by crazy?"

"Reporting to Khan Ama, Longkodo seems to be addicted to drugs, crazy and inhuman." Yin Zhen said slowly.

Kangxi was confused.

Yinzhen next to him hastily explained from the beginning, including that Longko missed Li Sier more, regarded the hookah left by Li Sier as a treasure, and became addicted to the cigarettes left by Li Sier...

Kangxi's mouth twitched.

His palms were clenched into fists, and he slammed it heavily on the table: "Ridiculous! Extremely ridiculous! I think he deserves it! A woman can make him die or live, and he will fall..."

He lost his temper.

Kangxi wished he could drag Longkodo down immediately and behead him!

I was surprised just now.

After hearing the drug, Nalan Mingzhu's face suddenly became strange.He interrupted Kangxi's words, and couldn't help asking again: "Four elder brothers! Ninth elder brothers! Are you talking about... drug? Are cigarettes made of drug?"

Yinzhen and Yinzhen nodded at the same time.

Kangxi looked up at Nalan Mingzhu: "Do you know what's wrong with it?"

"Master Mingzhu also knows?"

"Ah... the slaves have seen it in England, where they call this drug Poppy-Symbolism, it is regarded as a gift for the dead, and some people call it the flower of evil."

"...the flower of evil?"

"The slave didn't know it at first, and asked why he chose such a name. A sailor in England told the slave that this thing can make people sleep peacefully as a medicine, but if the ingredients in it are refined and made, after inhaling It is very addictive, and almost no one who has smoked it can get rid of it. The longer the time of smoking, the larger the amount, the person will be thin and weak, and the character will be crazy. Now it is forbidden to plant in private in England."

Yinzhen looked at Nalan Pearl with admiration.

Although I didn't hear the discussion between Mingzhu and Khan Ama before, but hearing his understanding of drugs, this trip to the west is very cost-effective.

As Nalan Mingzhu's voice fell, the East Nuan Pavilion was also completely silent.

Yinzhen's complexion was very ugly: "Khan Ama, just like Master Mingzhu said, Longkodo is now pale and emaciated, crazy..."

"Where are the others?"

"Erchen and Jiudi placed him in the imperial hospital."

Kangxi slapped the table and stood up.

He rushed to Tai Hospital with a few people, wanting to see what this madman looks like.

As soon as he walked in, Kangxi's face turned blue.

I saw Longkodo rolling on the ground tied up with ropes, his greedy eyes looked straight ahead.

Following Long Kedo's gaze, everyone's eyes focused on the cigarette held in the palm of the drug boy.

Longkodo wriggled his body hard.

The rope that bound his body could not stop his longing, and Longkodo's face was stuck on the instep of the drug boy: "Give me, give me, give me... as long as you give me, I will give you everything!!!"

This reaction, which was worse than that of a dog, made the imperial doctors turn pale with fright.Not to mention that Yaotong was at a loss, and frequently asked the surrounding imperial physicians for help, even the imperial physicians frowned, staring at Longkodo and muttering to himself.

"Is this too much?"

"It's only a cup of tea time from last time."

"...Can this withdrawal reaction really be controlled?"

The imperial physicians who were lost in thought did not notice Kangxi's arrival until the angry Kangxi rushed to Long Kedo's side in three steps and two steps, kicked him hard and roared: "Long! Ke! Do more!"

In an instant, the courtyard was full of imperial physicians kneeling all over the floor.

The drug boy who was facing the emperor's anger directly collapsed on the ground, and the cigarette he was holding rolled on the ground.

A scene that made Kangxi dumbfounded appeared.

Even with such kicks and roars, Longkodo didn't seem to notice his presence.

All his attention was on the cigarette.

Tumbled twice?fine!After stabilizing his body, Longkodo twisted and twisted like a caterpillar, getting closer to the cigarette bit by bit.

It wasn't until the moment of contact that Longkodo showed a satisfied expression.

And only this moment.

Immediately after he found that he could not smoke, he stuck out his tongue and licked the cigarette continuously. The greed and desire that could not be concealed in Longkodo's eyes made people feel chills down the spine.

Kangxi's face sank like water.

He is also well aware of Longkodo's pride, so Kangxi never thought that he would turn into the broken spine in front of him.

What about the blood in his bones?

Have they all been eaten by dogs?With a livid face, Kangxi crushed the cigarette with his foot in anger: "Longkodo! I'm calling you!"

Longkodo still didn't respond.

Even if the cigarette was shattered into slag and stained with dust, he still tried his best to keep sucking on it as much as possible.

Dirty, sad looking.

Can't even be called...

Kangxi looked down at Longkodo, his heart gradually sank to the bottom.

Longkodo.

It's over.

Kangxi closed his eyes in pain.

It took Kangxi a long time to stabilize his emotions. He opened his eyes and looked at the imperial physicians: "Tell me what's going on! Where did these cigarettes come from?"

Imperial Hospital envoy Qin Imperial Doctor wiped off his cold sweat.

He said tremblingly: "This minister is still investigating the toxicity, but I don't know... I don't know the origin of this cigarette."

It was Yinzhen who spoke in time: "Ama Khan, my minister has sent guards to track down the peddlers who sell cigarettes, and I'm sure they will give you an answer soon."

Kangxi glanced at him appreciatively.

Immediately afterwards, Kangxi's eyes turned to Nalan Mingzhu: "This matter is very important, and it must not be leaked without my permission!"

Nalan Pearl respectfully said yes.

He had heard of the power of drugs, but it was the first time he had seen it in his life.

The original fluke mentality disappeared.

It's no wonder that the English call Aphrodisiac a flower of evil... how can it destroy a person's mind to such an extent?

Nalan Mingzhu shuddered.

He made up his mind to go back and inspect the family in the mansion, and destroy the drugs that Zhongzhi used for viewing. Not only that, but also repeated orders to warn the people that they must never touch such pickled things!

After sending Nalan Mingzhu away, Kangxi turned his head and told Liang Jiugong: "Someone send a word to Tong Jia's mansion that Long Kedo is dead."

"……twitter."

"As for this thing... the Tai Hospital will take good care of it, and the hazards of drugs must be thoroughly studied!"

Kangxi's eyes were icy cold.

In his eyes, Longkodo on the ground is no longer his cousin, but a thing... No!It's not even as good as anything!

Doctor Qin's palms were moistened.

He lowered his head and responded respectfully: "Yes!"

Kangxi swept away with murderous intent and took his two sons away.After dealing with Longkodo, there are still a bunch of thieves who made cigarettes waiting for him to deal with. Kangxi wants to see what these people are for?

For what?

Of course it is for money!

The guards arrested many people.

Xiao Er, the shopkeeper of the shop in Nansan Hutong, and the account books in the shop were all handed over.

Follow the vine.

According to the list registered in the account book, with the assistance of the Shuntian government officials and the officers and soldiers under the admiral of Jiumen, the guards arrested more than a hundred people one after another. made of cigarettes.

According to the behind-the-scenes boss, the effect of this product is excellent, and a little use can make the men's minds stop. Not only the brothels in Nansan Hutong love to use it, but even many concubines in the backyards of rich families have bought a lot of them to compete for favor. .

As for addiction?

Even if he didn't know it at the beginning, of course the boss behind the scenes knew it very well in the end.

But wouldn't it be better once you get addicted?

Those rich men are happy to spend a lot of money to buy it. A big family like Longkodo spends 6 to [-] taels of silver a month!

This workshop has only been open for three to five years, and the profit has already exceeded 5000 million taels of silver!

The third phase of the railway project only raised 7000 million taels of funds, not to mention the previous corruption case of the Ministry of Households, which is nothing compared to this.

Kangxi did not sleep peacefully for several days.

He hoarsely said, "Has the list of drug addicts been sorted out?"

Prince Yinreng took out a memorial and moved it in front of Khan Ama: "Report to Khan Ama, all names have been registered, and anyone who has a withdrawal reaction will be guarded and awaiting disposal."

Kangxi opened the memorial and glanced twice.

It didn't take long before he slammed the booklet on the imperial case, and said with a dark face, "A bunch of bastards!"

This store is located in the cheapest Nansan Hutong, who would have thought that the customer is the noble family of the Yishui Eight Banners?The few familiar names in it made Kangxi almost crush the wolf hairs on his hands, and his eyes almost burst into flames.

Think about what Longkodo looked like.

Looking at these Eight Banners children who were supposed to be the pillars of the country, but now they are completely ruined, Kangxi's face turned green and white, and he felt very regretful: "Why didn't I find out until now..."

If it can be earlier?

If it could be earlier...

Han Ama's guilt made Yinzhen's heart tremble slightly.

He couldn't help but stepped forward, wiped the corners of Kangxi's eyes with a handkerchief: "Ama Khan, you've done a good job."

In history, once opium entered the territory of the Qing Dynasty, from the Eight Banner clans to the Manchu dynasty, civil and military down to the civilians, I don’t know how many people lost their fortunes because of it.

than that future.

It's much, much better now.

Yinzhen plucked up the courage to speak about the future, but at this moment the roar of thunder blocked what he had time to say in the future.

Kangxi reached out and rubbed Yinzhen's head.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Our Yinzhen has also grown up, and we know how to comfort Han Ama. But...Khan Ama is not an indecisive person, Yinzhen should not underestimate Han Ama!"

The matter has come to this point, anxious regret is of no help, it will only add troubles out of thin air.Kangxi gradually calmed down, and quickly began to finalize what should be done next.

Two days later, an imperial decree was published in the Beijing Daily.

The imperial decree ordered the clearing of the Afurong Zhongzhi land within the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and prohibited private Zhongzhi from importing and exporting Afurong without the approval of the imperial court.

The article also explains the penalty regulations in detail.

Anyone who smokes drugs in the clan should be kicked out of the clan; anyone who smokes drugs in the Eight Banners will be dismissed from office and will never be hired; anyone who sells drugs, regardless of whether they are in the Eight Banners or Han Chinese, will be confiscated as a crime and their property will be confiscated. Those who are light will be exiled for three thousand miles, and those who are serious will be killed without mercy.

Once the imperial decree with sharp words and harsh punishments was spread all over the world by the Beijing Daily, it couldn't help but aroused a lot of public opinion.

What's wrong with Afrong?

Then a manual called A Furong was also published to various places, and the local government gave speeches to explain the advantages and harms of A Furong.

As for the people in Zhili, the capital city, they are intuitively facing the scene where the noble figures of the past turned into monsters under the influence of drugs. They are crazy, crying and screaming, and they are willing to do anything for a little bit of drugs. look like.

This scene has left a deep imprint on the hearts of the people, who will never get rid of it for life and regard A Furong as the incarnation of evil spirits.
