The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

At this time, Kangxi came.

Concubine De and Concubine Min greeted each other, and after crouching for blessings, Concubine Min said goodbye and left.

There is enough space for Kangxi and Concubine De.

"Did Fourteen write you a letter?" Concubine Min left, and Kangxi and Concubine De were rude: "What did he write?"

Concubine De laughed very lovingly when she heard it: "What can he say to my concubine? He just said that it is very good, the food and drink are good, and that he has an orchard where he can eat cheap and fresh Seafood, but I wrote a prescription for seafood to my concubine, asking if I want it? He sent some back to my concubine."

Kangxi laughed when he heard this: "Bring it to me to have a look."

Concubine De did not hesitate to take out Fourteen's letter and handed it to Kangxi. Anyway, there was no secret in it.

Even if there is, if Kangxi wants it, she has to give it!

Kangxi opened it and took a look. Sure enough, it was all about good news and not bad news. Unlike the letters he wrote to himself, the fourteen couples of concubines were also very concerned about the concubine, and they just talked about some interesting things there.

Kangxi was satisfied.

He had dinner at Concubine De's, but he rarely went to Concubine Min's to spend the night.

Fourteenth Master's letter was written to many people, and many people also received Fourteenth Master's letter. Among them, Fourth Master's letter was the thickest, because he had more things to say to Fourth Master.

There is also a letter from Nian Gengyao to Nian Shi.

It is impossible to hide the fact that the servants of the Hall of Mental Cultivation of the Qianqing Palace went out of the palace to deliver letters to others, and the crown prince knew about it immediately.

Several counselors around him thought that there would be a letter for the crown prince, but it turned out not to be.

One of the counselors was a little excited: "Prince Yong and Prince Xun are blood brothers. Back then, Prince Yong protected the Crown Prince, why is it that Prince Xun is not close to the Crown Prince now?"

The crown prince himself was also very upset: "Sisi doesn't get close to any of us older."

Except for sending money as usual, I usually don’t even talk about anything. This time Fourteen was not in Beijing, so the people who came to give the share and bonuses changed, and changed to two younger brothers. Who can give them anger? by?

These two people can see Huang Ama every day, Shiba is a troublemaker again.

"Prince, this won't work. The money is not enough to spend. Now the courtiers can't use the money from the treasury. Prince Yong's control is too strict."

Several counselors are from major families, and the crown prince abolished the establishment once, and they felt that there would be no second time.

So he hurriedly surrounded him, just as the crown prince's people were almost wiped out by Kangxi, he changed another group of supporters.

However, many of them are inextricably linked with the supporters of the older generation.

This is also because the relationship network of the big family is too large, no matter how hard the crown prince struggles, he cannot break free from this network.

Kangxi purged the forces around him, so why didn't he want him to jump out?But the prince didn't understand the inside story, and wasted the good conditions Kangxi created for him.

"Isn't it rich to open the sea ban in the south?"

"The money goes into the treasury of the household department."

If they borrow money, don't they have to pay it out of the treasury?

The crown prince had a headache from their quarrel: "Forget it, forget it, don't quarrel, this matter will be resolved alone."

Isn't it just money?The prince thought it was time to let them know that he is a great prince.

He kept his secrets before, but now he must grasp the hearts of these courtiers and let them stand by his side.

The prince felt that he had been silent for too long, and he couldn't wait to become a blockbuster.

When everyone left, the crown prince immediately called someone in: "Take a few people, go south to Guangzhou, take your private seal with you, and tell Fourteenth Lord to prepare 100 million taels of silver for you to order."

"Hey!" The man was so excited that he was about to waver: "Master, is 100 million taels enough? I heard that the fourteenth master is as rich as an enemy."

The Fourteenth Master is rich, and he is very generous to those around him. Many people used to think that it was so great to serve an ordinary prince and elder brother?

Serving who is not serving?

So he climbed up with all his heart, and the place of the Hall of Mental Cultivation in Qianqing Palace was surrounded by people, and no one could squeeze in.

The next best thing is to come to Yuqing Palace, which is the East Palace. When the crown prince ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, they will ascend to heaven.

The prince was abolished once, but he stood up again. It can be seen that Long Live is reluctant to part with the prince!

These slaves came into Yuqing Palace only after the Crown Prince was restored, so it turned out that the old people in Yuqing Palace were gone.

"It's almost there?" The prince is not too sure: "Or just 200 million taels, he just went there, so it's not good to ask for too much."

The man rubbed his hands excitedly: "Hey, this servant will pick a few guards and go south to Guangzhou with this servant."

"This matter is confidential and must not be leaked out." Well, the crown prince still knows to keep it secret.

"Your servant understands!" The servant took the crown prince's private seal, and when he left Yuqing Palace, he changed his face: "This time, I will make a fortune when I go out."

Even rouge and gouache couldn't conceal the greedy expression on that face.

The Fourteenth Lord has learned Cantonese for a month, but he seems to be doing well, and Guangzhou is also ushering in the rainy season. The sea is humid, and typhoons occasionally make landfall.

The entire coastline of the Qing Dynasty is basically being tested.

The Fourteenth Lord saw that the wind and rain were too heavy, and many villages by the sea were blown away by the typhoon. He had to order officers and soldiers to help repair the houses.

It won the praise of the local people, and the fourteenth master spent thousands of taels of silver, but it turned into a situation where the military and the civilians are close, which is really a surprise.

It was finally a calm day, and Fourteenth Master went out for a stroll. Because of the typhoon, there were not many people on the street, so he went to Guangwei Building for morning tea.

Halfway through the meal, Old Master Xu Shilin came over: "Master Fourteen, go back and have a look! Something happened at home."

Fourteen swallowed what was in his mouth: "What happened at home? So anxious? No salt or no vinegar?"

"No, Mr. Xiao Cao was beaten, and the young man was too angry. He and the people he brought were arrested, and now they are in the other courtyard!" The old master whispered tremblingly: " The other party said that he was sent by the crown prince to collect the money, and the lion opened his mouth, asking the fourteenth master to prepare three to five million taels of silver."

The Fourteenth Master rolled his eyes in an inelegant way: "Where did you get the two hundred and five? What's wrong with Master Fang?"

He spoke Mandarin with a Beijing accent, few people here could understand it, but Old Master Xu Shilin definitely understood: "You mean, that person is a fake liar?"

"Who is the elder brother of the prince in the capital? You can send someone to come here and ask for three or five hundred taels of silver? Are you kidding me?" The fourteenth master got up and clapped his hands: "Let's go, go back and see, where is it?" You bastard who came here, play with me here Gelen!"

The fourteenth master took the people back to the other courtyard.

In the other courtyard, in the main hall, Cao Yong bowed his head and covered his face; Nian Gengyao sat there, with the appearance of a big horse with a golden sword, and his whole person already had the embryonic form of a general, not angry and arrogant.

There was a man lying on the ground with his mouth pouted and his hands and feet bound.

There are also six people kneeling, all of them are tall and big, and they look like Lian Jiazi.

The person lying down was beaten badly, not to mention his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his lower leg had a strange twist, probably due to a broken bone.

When Fourteenth Master came in, the lying person writhed violently, like a fat cabbage caterpillar.

The Fourteenth Master looked at him and frowned: "What's going on?"

When Cao Yong saw the fourteenth master coming back, of course he wanted to say hello to An, but he bowed his head to say hello to An, but Fourteen felt that something was wrong with him: "Cao Yong, raise your head!"

Cao Yong reflexively covered his cheeks with his hands: "Slave, I don't care about my face today, I'm afraid it will hinder your eyes."

Nian Gengyao snorted coldly: "He was slapped in the face, so I'm embarrassed to look up."

"Except for your master here, Nian Gengyao's rank is higher than yours. Even the prefect of Guangzhou is not as good as you. General Hao Siwen is at the same level as you. If they don't do anything, who would dare to beat you?" Fourteenth Master was angry.

Cao Yong really said that this person is still brought out by him.

In recent years, I have helped him save money, and the debts of the Cao family have almost been repaid, but there is only a few tens of thousands of taels of silver left. His family has money, but Kangxi hinted that they should not pay off the debt, but It is for another use, and that's it, the debt is not repaid.

But the money has been prepared, as long as the superior gives an order, it can be returned immediately.

If you have extra money at home, don't panic!

With Cao Yong's status, no one dared to hit him when he arrived in the capital. This is in Guangzhou, and he was slapped on the face even under the eyes of the Fourteenth Master. Fourteenth Master's face.

"Master Fourteen, this person is said to be sent by the East Palace." Cao Yong did not say a word, but Nian Gengyao wanted to speak: "With one word, Cao Yong will seal off the tax money of the Guangzhou government this year and keep it for him. Cao Yong slapped Cao Yong several times if he didn't follow him; he even came here and clamored for the fourteenth master to come out to see him. The minister felt that this man was arrogant and domineering, so he directly broke his calf and gave him another fat beating Dun, how he beat Cao Yong, the minister will beat him."

"Oh?" The Fourteenth Master glanced at Nian Gengyao: "I said Liang Gong, you are from the Imperial Academy, do you think this man looks like someone from the palace? Why didn't you see him next to the prince brother? "

In fact, the Fourteenth Lord almost forgot what the prince looks like.

And the crown prince is restored, in fact, the second waste will come soon.

He really didn't think much of the crown prince, the crown prince was probably more of a puppet.

"I don't know him!" Nian Gengyao insisted that he didn't know him.

Even if the other party has the prince's private seal on his body and the token of the Eastern Palace, he doesn't know him.

The caterpillars on the ground writhed even more violently.

"I don't know him either." Fourteenth Master glanced at Cao Yong: "Raise your head."

Cao Yong had no choice but to raise his head. The Fourteenth Lord took a look and took a deep breath. No wonder Nian Gengyao lost his temper. If it was him, he would be angry too.

I saw Cao Yong's face, cheeks were bulging, and the red and swollen places were a little bruised, especially clearly, it was a slap print.

"Come here, take the cloth out of his mouth." Master Fourteen ordered coldly.

The little bottle stepped forward and took out the cloth from the man's mouth. Once the man could speak, he was not afraid, and shouted loudly: "The slave is the one who serves the prince. The fourteenth master doesn't know the slave, but The servant has the token of the East Palace, and the crown prince's private seal as proof, the servant came here this time under the order of the prince, asking the Fourteenth Lord to prepare three to five million taels of silver..."

"Fart!" The fourteenth master threw the teacup on the ground at once: "Who do you think the master is? A group of liars dare to say that they are the elder brother of the prince?"

"No, Lord Fourteen, the slave has..."

"What's the matter? I don't listen to this. Why does my elder brother want three or five million taels of silver from me? Besides, where did I get so much money?" Fourteenth Master sneered: "The share and bonus are not enough for Yuqing Palace. Expenses? Is the prince's elder brother choking on gold and swallowing jade? Or some people are liars, and they came here for nothing?"

Kaibai, the local dialect of Guangzhou people, means empty-handed white wolf.

In later generations, there will be "flipping the party" and "destroying the white party". These are all liars.

The man was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't believe it: "Master Fourteen, the slave didn't lie, really, the private seal is on the slave."
