Chapter 452 Zhang Tingyu: How much does a meal cost?
This……
Although this was the case, Ninety and Fourteen could not help but refute a few words: "You can't say that. If it weren't for Eighteenth Brother, our vision wouldn't be as far-sighted as it is now."
"That's right! Now it's the winter of the fifty-first year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. According to the original historical line, the crown prince has already been deposed for the second time. My brother, you are also being purged because of the public election of the crown prince. You are being scolded, your title is being stripped, and even your salary has been stopped."
"That's not the worst. The worst is those two Saker Falcons who don't know what's going on. Tsk tsk, once the Condor appears, all of Starling's hopes are gone. He can only settle for the second best and try to help Old Fourteen take the throne, but it turns out that's also a failure..."
As the second most noble prince among the princes, the Tenth Prince was planned by his intelligent mother to be honest, straightforward and reckless since he was a child.
Just say whatever you want to say, without beating around the bush in front of the emperor.
Do you still expect him to be tactful in front of his brothers?
nonexistent.
He could only say a few words, which made his myna bird doubt his life.
They even call it "honest advice hurts the ear".
The frightened Ninth Prince had to protect him, saying that he always said things without thinking, and Eighth Prince should not take it to heart.
"What my Eighteenth Brother said is very correct. A general without strategy can lead to the death of the entire army. In history, there are indeed many situations that seemed to be going well, but ended up in tragic defeats due to the generals' poor command."
All in all, all in all.
Xiao Shiba was right, his worries were justified.
It's the eldest brother and the seventh brother who are not human beings. They have made countless contributions, but they still try to share our pie.
We have to work hard to prevent those two brothers from getting in.
Yeah.
The Tenth and Fourteenth Princes nodded hurriedly, and the Eighth Prince also smiled: "Then work hard, don't let the gift we prepared for Khan Ama's 600,000th birthday be snatched away by others."
The four brothers who reached a consensus jointly wrote a memorial and wrote back to Yinxuan.
He repeatedly assured that he would be careful and would never become like Zhao Guangyi or Zhu Qizhen.
Use North Korean soldiers as much as possible to establish their own merits.
After receiving the letter, Yinxuan's heart, which had been hanging in his throat, finally slowly settled down.
"As long as they stay alert, with Brother Eight's unparalleled wisdom and Brother Fourteen's famous general, beating the little Japanese will be like an adult beating a child. The outcome is definitely not a suspense."
Kangxi chuckled: "Are you relieved this time?"
"Yeah, yeah." Yin Xuan nodded heavily: "Yuan has nothing to worry about, I just gave you two instructions for nothing."
"Now that I have given you my instructions, my son will go back to Mr. Huang and continue working hard~"
Yinzhen smiled and made a knot, then backed out of the Qianqing Palace.
Kangxi, who had not yet had enough time with his son, tried to persuade him to stay: "You finally came here, why don't you stay a little longer?"
"No, no, I'm a little busy lately. I'll come and have dinner with Khan Ama when I have the chance."
Kangxi was somewhat displeased: "You kid, are you more busy than I am?"
Yinxuan: ...
[How can I respond to this? I want to say yes, the train has reached the most critical time. I am busy rushing to finish it, and I will give you a super gift on your 60th birthday!]
[But when it comes to birthday gifts, the most important thing is a sense of mystery. If you tell us too early, the expectations will be reduced by half.]
In order to avoid being seen through, Yinzhen had to shake his head violently: "No, no, no, how can my son's little details be compared with Khan Ama?"
"Since you are reluctant to leave, then I will shamelessly stay and eat your imperial meal!"
At this moment, Kangxi could say that he no longer wanted to have dinner with the brat.
I want him to continue working and not miss the auspicious time for the train to be released.
But as an emperor, he cannot go back on his word.
He just signaled the prince with his eyes.
However, offering this opportunity would mean that the prince would not only let his good brother continue to work hard, but would also inevitably be scolded by the Khan.
Why bother?
It’s better to ask your brother with a smile what he wants to eat and stay to eat together.
And bring the whole family along.
The young grandson of the emperor, Hongxi, not only followed along, but also whispered in the ear of his eighteenth uncle to secure a seat for his future father-in-law.
cough cough.
There was no other way. After serving as a co-examiner for the imperial examination, the capable Mr. Zhang Tingyu was asked by the Thirteenth Prince to go to the Ministry of Revenue.
Now my mind is full of things like banks and insurance.
After hearing that these initial ideas came from the Eighteenth Prince, he had long wanted to have an in-depth discussion with the youngest prince.
Unfortunately, the little prince is small, but he has a heavy burden on his shoulders.
And he is very sensible.
He never made friends with ministers unless it was necessary for official business.
It just so happens that the prince is here today, and he just so happens to be summoned by the emperor. So...
In fact, he didn't really want to be the father-in-law of the emperor's grandson, but he had to go through the route of the future son-in-law and got the opportunity to dine with the young prince.
Deep down, Yinxuan quite liked this man, the only Han minister in the Qing Dynasty who was worthy of being enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Especially this one has a handsome appearance and overflowing talents.
It would be better if this guy wasn't asking questions that would make him feel sick to his stomach when he was not enjoying a meal.
Ugh!
Yinxuan looked up to the sky and sighed, once again lamenting his poor financial situation.
That insignificant bit of "strength" had long been shaken off, and there was nothing left.
but!
Zhang Tingyu, the son of the imperial tutor Zhang Ying.
That's because he has some education level and is particularly patient and encouraging.
After finding out Yinzhen's background in a few words, he completely abandoned the way of asking questions that made people feel intestinal obstruction.
Change it to after-dinner chat.
It was fanciful, but lively and interesting, and it was able to arouse Yinzhen's interest, making him say a lot without realizing it. It made Zhang Tingyu, the Thirteenth Prince and the Crown Prince at the table feel like they had been enlightened, and they all understood a lot more.
They were all very grateful to him.
Yin Xuan waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, I didn't say anything. It's because you, my future in-law, have a high level of understanding. You can draw inferences from one example and get inspiration that others dare not even think of."
Zhang Tingyu hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying that he dared not.
Whoops!
Yinzhen waved his hands: "Why should I be afraid? Your daughter is being betrothed to our Hongxi, and you are his father-in-law, the future in-law of me and the second prince, right?"
As he said this, he looked at his eldest nephew with a smile and asked him if he was right.
Hongxi's face turned red, but he still had to bow obediently: "What Uncle Eighteen said is very true. In the court, there is a difference between the emperor and his subjects. Outside the court, Master Zhang is my nephew's future Taishan. He is the one that my nephew should respect and be filial to."
Saying this in front of the Emperor and the Crown Prince, Zhang Tingyu really knelt down to his future son-in-law!
He was the one supported by the Crown Prince himself. "Don't be afraid, Mr. Heng. Your father was my mentor and taught me a lot when he was alive. The Zhang family has a strict family tradition and all their children are outstanding. I, the Crown Princess, and the Concubine are all very happy to be able to marry your children to each other."
"In ancient times, a son-in-law is like a half-son. You are the elder in front of Hongxi. If you think that the two children are not married yet, Hengchen is not worthy of the title of father-in-law, why don't we discuss and choose an auspicious day closer to home?"
