The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Chapter 204 Restoring the Crown Prince

"The recoil is quite strong." What experience does Nian Gengyao have in using it?

When he used the firecracker, it was a mess. Who has time to experience something?

In the time when you have no experience at all, you are working hard to destroy the enemy, okay?

However, he remembered that after the end, two people seemed to have dislocated their arms due to too much recoil.

So he just said it.

"The recoil can be reduced. At the same time, the musketeer needs to exercise his arm strength." This is the words of the Fourteenth Master: "Those who are good at bow and arrow can try it."

When Nian Gengyao heard this, he was immediately enlightened: "Those two people with dislocated arms are indeed not very good at bows and arrows. They are good at riding horses, and their bodies are light, so they are very suitable as scouts."

The Fourteenth Master knew that he was talking about the group of people who followed him to arrest Zhu San's family.

Those people are amazing now, they all have official status, and they are not low.

And they are all grateful to Nian Gengyao, because this is the reward that Nian Gengyao asked for them. These people have been loyal to Nian Gengyao all their lives. Even if Nian Gengyao falls down, they have to treat Nian Gengyao well. Otherwise, they will be said to be ungrateful.

"As for the recoil..." Dai Zi and his son were very interested in researching this matter, and everyone started discussing it in the study.

The Fourteenth Lord provided ideas, and Nian Gengyao provided usage advice.

The four of Dai's father and son are the designers, and the fourteenth master still has drawings and rulers here, and they just fumbled away in the study.

If it wasn't for the small bottle coming in to say that the dinner is ready, and asking them to eat, these people still have more to say.

After the meal, there was no discussion anymore, but the father and son of the Dai family benefited a lot, and they couldn't wait to go back to revise the drawings.

Nian Gengyao also took the opportunity to leave, he was ashamed to stay, he thought he was some kind of important person, but he turned out to be a firearm obsessive, the image of the old man Dai Zi really surprised Mr Nian.

After seeing off the people, Master Fourteen yawned and hurried back to take a nap for a long time before he came back to rest.

After the New Year's Eve, a palace banquet was arranged in the palace, and everyone would be informed about how to spend the New Year's Eve.

According to the practice of previous years, there will be a palace banquet during the day on New Year's Eve, and a family banquet at the Tian family in the evening, just eat, drink, and watch a play.

But Kangxi even arranged seats for Dai's family and invited Dai Zi and his wife to the banquet, excluding his son and daughter-in-law.

Probably because they are all here, and the children are not taken.

Fourteenth Master felt Kangxi's meticulous care again.

The New Year's banquet was nothing more than that, the eldest prince and the second prince still did not attend, and their family members were even missing.

But this year's banquet, there is one person who did not come, the Eighth Prince, and the Eighth Fortune.

Because it is said that the Eighth Prince is ill, and the Eighth Fortune is serving the sick.

Concubine Hui didn't show up either. Concubine Liang attended, but in a remote corner, after eating something, she also left after Kangxi left.

No one noticed her when she left, after all, she was not an eye-catching person.

The Fourteenth Master also left very early. He followed the Fourth Master's family to the Yonghe Palace where the Concubine De lived. There was a small banquet waiting for them here.

There is a small kitchen in the Yonghe Palace, and Si Fujin led his people to make two small stir-fries, one with chili stir-fried pork, and one with vegetarian mushrooms.

There are various steaming bowls, stews, and two soups from the big kitchen.

The food is rich enough, but what is even more rich is that Sifujin brought people to make Sixi Steamed Dumplings, which means thriving day by day.

This has a good meaning, Concubine De has eaten four of them.

Fourteen is still playing with the children, and this year the children are a little older, so it's fun to make a lot of noise together.

Concubine De, on the other hand, whispered to Fourth Master: "Why did you recommend the deposed prince? How eye-catching is that? It's not like you don't know about your emperor Ama."

"My son discussed with Fourteen and made this decision." The fourth master said, "The same is true for Thirteen. They all listen to Fourteen."

Today is the Chinese New Year, and Concubine Min is also in the side hall, and the thirteen beauties are reuniting with Concubine Min with his family.

"Really? What does Fourteen know? You don't stop him." Concubine De was also very angry when she heard that it was her fourteen's son's idea. Fourteen's knowledge is not enough.

Among the many adults in the court, only the fourth and the thirteenth recommended the abolished prince.

When Concubine De heard about this, her hands and feet were cold.

Concubine Min was even more frightened and cried. Later, the former court said that nothing happened, and the two women were scared to death.

"Actually, I think what the fourteenth brother said is quite right. This is the selection of the crown prince. Who is more qualified to have the second brother?" Fourth brother."

"Bengong didn't underestimate him. He's amazing. I'm afraid that my eldest grandson, the poor Golden Doudou in his pocket, will be won by his fourteenth uncle." Concubine De glanced at the next door.

Over there, the Fourteenth Master was killing all directions, and he took all the children's New Year's money.

I'm quite happy, how can I look like a 23-year-old man?

Said that he was three and a half years old and believed.

Fourth Master couldn't laugh or cry; so did Concubine De.

But the fourteenth master gave the children a lot of New Year's money, one hundred gold beans per person.

I spent a warm New Year's Eve at Concubine De's place, and on the first day of the new year, I had to go to the palace to congratulate Concubine De on the new year.

However, the [-]th birthday of the first lunar month was celebrated, and it was quite lively.

But then, Kangxi changed his gentle attitude in the past. Before the first month passed, he summoned the ministers to interrogate who was the leader who proposed to make the eldest son the crown prince?

The officials were terrified, which meant to settle accounts after the fall.

Everyone knows that Kangxi hates the eighth prince deeply.

Who dares to admit it at this time?As the head of Hanchen, Zhang Ying kept his mouth shut and did not talk about it; while Li Guangdi was very greedy for Zhang Ying's position. When Kangxi asked him, he led the matter to Zhang Tingyu.

Zhang Tingyu is young and an honest boy!

In the end, Kangxi really asked him. Zhang Tingyu couldn't resist Kangxi's eyes, and said that he heard what Ma Qi said!

The three most famous ministers in the study room in the Kangxi Dynasty were Tong Guowei, Ma Qi, and Zhang Tingyu.

The three are known as "assisting the emperor and commanding all officials".

Judging from the court status and specific powers of the three, they should all belong to the ministers of state affairs with the title of "big scholar".

Tong Guowei was an official to lead the guards, ministers of the interior, and minister of state affairs. He had never served as a bachelor, but he was granted a posthumous title, and he had become an official as early as the 43rd year of Kangxi; There is no official career height in the middle.

Only Ma Qi, who became an official to the University of Wuyingdian in the 38th year of Kangxi, can really be called the title of "Prime Minister".

Kangxi actually relied heavily on Ma Qi and defended him a lot. Before Kangxi ordered all the courtiers to elect the prince, he specially ordered Ma Qi not to participate in this matter.

However, it now appears that Ma Qi did not obey this will.

Zhang Tingyu's words made Kangxi frightened and angry, and asked people to investigate Ma Qi thoroughly.

It turned out that Ma Qi and his uncle Tong Guowei secretly advocated the public election of the prince, leading the guards and ministers A Ling'a and E Lundai to actively cooperate. Expectations were completely dashed.

In the early morning of the next day, someone listed Ma Qi's many crimes. Kangxi was furious and sentenced him to death and detention.

Ma Qi and others were severely punished by Kangxi. Ma Qi was dismissed as a bachelor and handed over to the Eighth Prince for "strict control". His third brother Ma Wu, fourth brother Li Rongbao and their clansmen were all implicated.

This was the first and only time in Ma Qi's official life that he suffered a major setback.

Everyone saw that the boss was angry, and everyone bowed their heads in silence. Later, Zhang Ying became seriously ill and was lying in bed. In fact, Li Guangdi was mad at him.

The fourth master complained to the fourteenth master: "Li Guangdi, this glass egg, set his mind on Zhang Ying, and didn't even look at who Zhang Ying is! This time Zhang Ying can't get sick, and his reputation is not very good. gone."

"It's not easy, Mr. Zhang." Fourteenth Master felt that if he were Zhang Ying, he would have to vomit blood in anger.

This fellow Li Guangdi should not be underestimated!

"Ma Qi, it's mine." The Fourteenth Master was still sighing, and the Fourth Master told him the truth.

The Fourteenth Master looked at the Fourth Master: "Oh, brother, what do you want to do?"

"If it were you, what would you do?" Fourth Master asked Fourteenth Master.

"Cold salad!" Fourteenth Master's answer won Fourth Master a big hit: "Speak well."

"I said it carefully, brother, it's cold salad, don't worry, the old man values ​​Ma Qi so much, Master Ma Qi won't be wronged for long!" The fourteenth master remembered that Ma Qi was quite famous, because he seemed to have been until In the Yongzheng Dynasty, they were all ministers.

What is more famous is that Ma Qi has a lot of foreign affairs.

"Cold salad?" Fourth Master chewed these two words carefully: "Leave it alone?"

"I just secretly told their family not to panic, and let everything take its course." Fourteenth Master said: "Don't worry, the old man's heart is like a mirror."

"Then listen to you!" Fourth Master took a risk.

If not, losing Ma Qi would be a great loss to him.

After all, Ma Qi was one of the chief ministers and a very important figure.

The Fourteenth Master went to the palace to accompany Kangxi for dinner the next day: "Huang Ama, when can I go south to Guangzhou?"

"Wait for my Longevity Day!" Kangxi was reluctant to part with Fourteenth, and in fact Fourteenth was also reluctant for Kangxi. However, the current court situation, a pot of porridge stirred up by Kangxi, everyone is full of fear, showing a strange calm .

Kangxi's order is now all the way.

No one dares to obey and obey, and no one dares to delay orders.

So there are no objections to some transfer orders and appointments.

Kangxi's play is so perfect that no one can see through it.

Just finished eating the pork head meat, Kangxi said again, find out that he has false accusations, and release Ma Qi.

Ma Qi was like doing a roller coaster, but he didn't reinstate Ma Qi, he just let him walk in front of the imperial court, and usually stay at home, looking like he is caring for his life.

However, Ma Qi didn't have a good month, the Eighth Prince treated him with respect, but the Ninth Master persuaded the Eighth Master to give Ma Qi some snacks.

As a result, Ba Ye thought that Ma Qi was unlucky and couldn't get up, so he didn't do much for Ma Qi.

Master Shi was busy with the affairs of the Ministry of War, so he didn't take much part in this matter. Anyway, the starling's crown prince was not considered, so he should honestly do errands for Huang Ama.

In the end, Ma Qi was released by Kangxi, and Ba Ye regretted it a little, but there is no medicine for regret in the world!

The Fourteenth Lord is not interested in Kangxi's politics, but only cares about when he can go south to Guangzhou: "Huang Ama, you want your son to go to Guangzhou, what do you expect?"

"I hope that you can train the navy well in Guangzhou." Kangxi said to Shishi: "At least, there must be a sea defense force."

Kangxi paid more and more attention to the navy.

However, on the issue of the crown prince, almost everyone's attention was involved, and no one noticed Kangxi's little move.

No one even noticed Fourteen Baylor and Nian Gengyao's arrangement.

As for Dai Zi, he has already gone to the newly established Firearms Bureau, with the title of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, and the title of Chief Supervisor of the Firearms Bureau.

General Supervisor is equivalent to the head of the Firearms Bureau!

Fourteenth Master jokingly said, "From now on, I should call you Chief Dai."

"Director?" Dai Zi laughed: "This old minister has several titles."

"That's not good? I have a salary!" Fourteenth Master smiled: "I will let you take care of me more in the future!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Dai Zi laughed cheerfully, sweeping away the depression of leaving the capital in embarrassment, and no longer cared about his secret life for more than ten years.

Now he has the final say on the entire Firearms Bureau, as for the foreigners in the past, they are all gone.

Kangxi became suspicious of foreigners, how could he continue to employ foreign missionaries as skilled workers in such an important place as the Firearms Bureau.

Nian Gengyao's transfer order came down, and he was about to leave for Guangzhou.

So I came to the Fourteenth House to say goodbye: "I will go to Guangzhou first, and you will pack up slowly here. When you arrive in Guangzhou, I will definitely arrange a place for you."

"Well, when the time comes, I will go to Guangzhou to find you and move in with my bags." Fourteenth Master smiled: "Remember to ask for a lush place, I heard that Guangzhou is also called Flower City, where flowers bloom all year round. "

"Okay, when you go there, I will take care of everything." Nian Gengyao looked at Master Fourteen: "I will set up a mansion next to you."

"Okay!" Master Fourteen agreed.

Nian Gengyao ate a meal here, and then quickly headed south to Guangzhou with hundreds of people.

Because he has a lot to do.

Kangxi has been confusing during this period. Zhang Ying fell ill, and Li Guangdi was handling the government affairs. He was very slippery, and he could guess a little bit of Kangxi's thoughts, but he didn't dare to speak to others.

Therefore, to Kangxi, it is respectful and respectful, and nothing is against Kangxi.

In March, before the Wanshou Festival came, Kangxi did something unprecedented, and I don’t know if there will be any others in the future: restore Yinfeng as the prince, announce it to the ancestral temple, and issue an imperial edict to the world.

Fourth Master was in a cold sweat!

The same is true for Master Thirteen, he was dumbfounded, okay?

Master Jiu and Master Shi were also dumbfounded, their kneeling postures were stiff, okay?
