The Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Man

Yonghe Palace.

Depin, who had been confined for a year, was released in half a year because of her meritorious service in taking care of the sick Fourteenth Prince. It was a pity that the emperor's heart had changed in just three months, let alone half a year.

Uya, the gentle and eloquent woman in the harem who gave birth to three sons and three daughters for Emperor Kangxi, held a special place in his heart.

However, due to the corruption and bribery of the bannermen, as well as their partiality to their children, Kangxi realized that his sweetheart was not as beautiful as he had imagined.

The ladies in the harem were already out of favor, but Depin, who had a young son, still had a certain status in the harem even though she had fallen out of favor.

Looking at Yinzhen, who was just over one year old and was learning to walk on the carpet, there was an ambiguous light in Uya's eyes.

She said with a somewhat lonely tone: "Lüzhu, how long has it been since the emperor came to Yonghe Palace? I'm afraid he doesn't even know that Yinzhen can walk and call him Ama."

To some extent, Uya was able to be liberated from the state of confinement thanks to this youngest son. Yinzhen's illness half a year ago was not an accident, but intentional.

Although she felt sorry for her son's illness, she was fortunate to have the emperor's sympathy. But since the last time the emperor came to see Yinzhen when he was sick, he has not come again.

Wu Ya knew very well what would happen to a woman who lost favor in the harem. Thinking of the recent sarcasm from the concubines, Wu Ya couldn't help but pinch the fair skin of the maid next to her.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor may have been too busy with government affairs recently. The Fourteenth Prince is so cute. As long as Your Majesty takes him to a place the Emperor often goes to and meets him by chance, he will definitely be able to regain the Emperor's attention.

The Fourteenth Prince is the Emperor's youngest son. As long as he is with His Majesty, he will be able to regain His Majesty's favor." Lu Zhu's face turned pale. She was a close maid beside Concubine De.

Although Concubine De was well-known for her beauty and kindness in the harem, only the people in Yonghe Palace knew what a vicious heart their master had beneath her pure and flawless face.

Even if they were to take action against these palace maids, it would be done where they could not be seen.

Glancing at the fair and adorable young child on the bed, Depin touched his little face lovingly and murmured, "Yes, I can't let others laugh at me.

I only have Yinzhen. This child must strive to be a good person when he grows up. Don’t be like your ungrateful fourth brother.”

Yinzhen, who was just learning to speak and walk, also looked up in confusion: "Mother... Mother..."

Seeing Yinzhen calling her mother in a soft voice, Depin couldn't help but hug her son. "Yinzhen, don't blame your mother. Your mother is doing this for the good of both mother and son."

In the past year, the confiscation of the Uya clan's property and the extermination of their clan had dealt her a heavy blow, although she felt relieved by the news that the great Tongjia clan had died.

But since that plea, Wu Ya felt that the child had completely left her heart. It turned out that a child raised by someone else could never be brought up well.

She lost the support of her mother's family and was demoted to a concubine. This made her lose face in the harem. Fortunately, she still had a daughter, Wen Xian, who was raised by the empress dowager.

For the Empress Dowager's sake, these servants would not be too cold to them. And there was also this young son who was raised by their side. When he grew up, he would be able to turn things around sooner or later.

After dinner, the Imperial Garden.

After having dinner in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor took his sons to take a walk to digest the food. Among these sons were the crown prince, Yinzhen, and Yinzhen.

They got along very well during this period, and the relationship between father and son was very harmonious. Everyone in the harem knew that the emperor favored the prince, which was normal.

The Fourth Prince was the adopted son of Queen Tong, and he was also a filial child, so it was normal for the Emperor to have more sympathy for him. The Ninth Prince was the son of the favorite concubine, although he had not been very prominent in front of the Emperor before.

However, during this period, the Ninth Prince was a popular figure in front of the Emperor. Even the Crown Prince and the other princes liked the Ninth Prince very much.

Even the eldest prince Yinzhen, who lived outside the palace and had a bad temper, doted on his younger brother.

Kangxi was very satisfied with his sons who had grown up well. "I will go to fight against Galdan in person soon. All the ministers in the court have agreed.

I also plan to take Yinzhen with me, and then the matter of regent will be handed over to the crown prince. "He had long wanted to personally lead the expedition against Galdan, and now he had the right time, place and people.

The ministers in the court were also suppressed by him. Now that the materials and other things are almost ready, he can immediately realize his dream.

Everyone basically knew that Kangxi was going to go to the battlefield in person. There was nothing to hide. They could just treat it as a chat.

"Your son will definitely supervise the country and guard the Forbidden City."

The emperor went to the battlefield, so the affairs of state were naturally handed over to the crown prince. The crown prince had supervised the country when the emperor was on tour before, so this kind of thing was no problem for him.

However, he actually disagreed with the emperor's personal expedition. But the emperor was determined to go, and even the ministers in the court could not stop him.

As a son, he can only listen to his father.

Yinzhen was a reserved person and did not say anything.

Yinzhen touched his belly and said in his heart.

[The second prince is so capable that he can handle the affairs of the regent well. ]

[However, in history, the Qing Dynasty fought against Galdan three times, and it was not easy to fight. But the Qing Dynasty now has new firearms and abundant treasury and supplies.

Maybe the result this time will be better than last time. It is indeed a good thing that the emperor father took my eldest brother to fight. My eldest brother has the talent of a general and is born to be a god of war on the battlefield. 】

I heard from Yinzhen how difficult it was to fight.

Yinreng thought of his father who had always been very kind to him, and said worriedly: "Father, the battlefield is so dangerous. You are the emperor, so you'd better stay in the capital."

Although he knew that they would become enemies in the future, the emperor was very nice to him now, and he didn't want anything to happen to the emperor.

Yinzhen also worriedly said: "Father Huang..."

"Father, what the Crown Prince said is right."

Yinzhen responded positively.

[This time, the emperor also contracted malaria when he went to the battlefield. This was a very dangerous incident in history, and it was only solved with the help of quinine cream provided by foreigners.

The mountains are high and the roads are long, so we still have to ask the emperor to prepare more medicinal materials, bring a few more doctors with superb medical skills, and prepare more Western medicines. 】

[There are still many good things in the West. It would be great if we could go there someday to trade with other countries. Maybe we can bring back a lot of good things.]

[However, there are still Japanese pirates on the sea, which is quite annoying. It would be great if we could wipe out Japan someday. In the future, these Japanese pirates killed many Qing people. In Nanjing alone, 300,000 people were killed.

These Japanese pirates are all cunning and shameless people, and we must not let the emperor let them go. 】

[Alas, even if they tried to persuade the Emperor, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything. In previous campaigns, the Emperor always stayed in the capital and planned the battles. But Galdan was the Emperor's obsession.

At the same time, the emperor believed that Galdan was the most serious threat to the Qing Dynasty. If he didn't get rid of this obsession, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't be able to sleep. 】

Listening to Yinzhen's inner voice, Kangxi's eyes also revealed a hint of ruthlessness.

Is Japan so bold?

Not only Kangxi, but even Yinzhen and Yinreng marked Japan with a big red circle in their hearts. It seems that these foreigners should be dealt with earlier. Otherwise, they will become the future enemy of the Qing Dynasty sooner or later.
