After seeing off Folgochun, Prince Dun, who had been away for more than a year, finally decided to come back.

When he returned to Beijing, he brought some good news.

In addition to Nanchang and Siam, Myanmar and Cambodia, Yinzhen and Nian Gengyao joined forces to take over Johor (Malaysia), Sulu and Luzon (Philippines).

At present, the territory of the Qing Dynasty is expanding visibly. If Yinxiang had not written to him asking him to calm down for a while, he would probably have continued to cause trouble.

But even if things calm down, there are still a lot of things to do behind the scenes.

The Qing Dynasty's actions were so loud that the surrounding countries were all watching and feeling fear in their hearts.

Without mentioning other countries, let’s just talk about Annan and Siam, which were originally vassal states of the Qing Dynasty. Even if they became dependencies, they could not escape the fate of being destroyed. The Qing Dynasty was indeed just like their ancestors, and would devour them as soon as it had an opportunity!

Countries adjacent to the Qing Dynasty's Tibet region, such as Bhutan, Sikkim, and Gorkha, were all on guard, fearing that their own country would be the next to suffer.

Fortunately, after the battle of Luzon, the Qing Dynasty called off its troops and everything became quiet and silent.

As if he was already satisfied.

Although they were still worried, these countries finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it would be a lie to say they weren't scared when facing such a huge monster.

After they breathed a sigh of relief, the kings of several countries began to murmur in unison that it would actually be a good thing if they could rely on a big country.

They could accept becoming a vassal state of a big country. After all, their ancestors had done that before.

But even the Qing Dynasty did not spare even its own vassal states and conquered them all as its own territories. They were also afraid that if they became dependent on the Qing Dynasty, their country would be destroyed.

This has caused headaches for the leaders of several countries.

As for the culprits who made them feel uncomfortable, they had no other ideas.

Forbidden City, Imperial Study

Prince Dun, who came to take advantage of the victory, was sitting on the ground without any image.

While on the battlefield, he had long been accustomed to the feeling of freedom and ease in the military camp.

Yinxiang sat leisurely on the chair, concerned about his image.

He looked at the letters of surrender, then looked at the newly made map of the Qing Dynasty, and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

"Brother Shi, you are really quick."

In just one year, they have taken over so much territory. He said that none of his brothers and sisters are useless.

"That's nothing. We are a big country eating a small country, not fighting against other big countries. If I can't get it, I might as well go back and sleep as soon as possible."

Yin? didn't think there was anything to be proud of. Those countries in Nanzhan were either vassal states of the Qing Dynasty, or they were interested in seeking dependence on a big country, or they didn't have much strength at all.

In addition, with the current military strength of the Qing Dynasty, with sufficient soldiers and guns and a stable rear, if he cannot even take over these countries, then he will have lived in vain.

Yinzhen waved his hand casually, but was extremely concerned about the situation of his Khan Ama and others overseas.

"Thirteenth brother, how are Khan Ama and the others doing? How are they doing in North America?"

To be honest, Khan Ama and his men are the ones in real trouble. After all, England is also a big country. If they really come into conflict, they won't be able to quickly support Khan Ama due to the long distance between them.

"You should worry less. He is our Khan Ama, how can he be weak?" Yinzhen came in as if he was returning to his own home and said while putting his hand on Yinzhen's head.

Yinxiang smiled and nodded in agreement, "That's right, when Khan Ama sent me a wedding gift last time, he also mentioned their current situation."

"What do you mean?" Yin looked up curiously.

"He said that the Tiandihui was secretly causing trouble in England, and the royal family and parliament, which were already at odds with each other, started to stir up trouble again, so they didn't have much energy to take care of the affairs of the colonies."

"He and his elder brother have secretly instigated the indigenous people in the colonies and are preparing them to start a rebellion against England."

Hearing this, Yin? raised his eyebrows and said with a little disappointment: "I think Khan Ama's place is more fun. If I had known, I would have gone out to sea with him."

Although it was just two short sentences, he could already imagine how Khan Ama and the others were stirring up trouble behind the scenes. Just imagining it was very exciting. If he had known that, he would not have stayed in the Qing Dynasty at that time.

Yinzhen was speechless. He raised his foot and lightly kicked Yinzhen. "You didn't go then. Why are you talking about this now?"

At that time, Khan Ama clearly wanted to take Lao Shi with him, but Lao Shi himself refused. But now he regrets it. What a shame...

Yin snorted coldly: "How do I know that it's so exciting over there? I can't predict the future."

"You are obviously stupid!" Yinzhen pointed and said, they were told that they were going out to sea to grab territory, how could he not imagine how exciting it was? Look at his eldest brother and fourteenth brother, and then look at his tenth brother, it is obvious that he is not smart.

After glaring at Yinzhen with disdain, Yinzhen said to Yinxiang, "Thirteenth brother, he and I will go to the Cining Palace to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager and the others. You wait for us, and we will go to Second Brother's residence together later."

He came to see Yinxiang at this time, not only to see Yin?, but mainly because he and his brothers had already made an appointment to go to Yinreng's house.

Today is the third day of May, Yinreng’s birthday.

They were going to celebrate Yinreng's birthday together.

Yinxiang nodded, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back."

It just so happened that he wanted to draft a few imperial edicts to consolidate the territories conquered by these ten brothers into a province with various prefectures, which would be easier to manage.

As for who to choose to be the governor, it just so happened that Zhang Ying had retired, and his sons should have made some progress, so let Zhang Tingyu be the governor for a few years and then return to Beijing to develop.

Yinxiang still valued Zhang Hengchen's abilities very much. Sending him out of Beijing was not a promotion in name only but a demotion in reality, but it showed that he valued him very much and felt that he could be a good governor and manage these new territories of the Qing Dynasty.

So after receiving the imperial edict, Zhang Tingyu was quite happy and prepared to take up his post.

Zhang Ying, who has already retired, shook his head helplessly and complained with his wife beside him: "Look at him, he is already in his thirties, but he is still as happy as a child."

Yao Hanzhang, a teacher at the girls' school, was correcting students' homework while replying to him without even looking up: "Don't talk about him. Wasn't it the same behavior when you were favored by the Grand Emperor?"

"He learned that from you."

After being scolded by his wife, Zhang Ying shut his mouth in grievance.

Prince Kang's Palace

Yinreng was listening to opera leisurely.

Today is his birthday, he can be as happy as he wants.

In the past, because his mother died at birth, his birthday was also the anniversary of his mother's death, so he had never been happy on his birthday.

And his Khan Ama was always in a bad mood on this day. Although he never showed it in front of him, he would choose not to spend much time with him.

This was such an obvious difference from usual days, but he didn’t understand it when he was young. But as he grew up, he understood it and no longer loved celebrating his birthday.

Now that he has been reborn, Yinreng has long since let go of all the things that happened in his past life.

Wuku's mother said that his father gave birth to him with love and would definitely not want to see his son trapped in the four words "born to harm his mother" for his entire life, so he should accept it all calmly.

He wanted to celebrate this birthday and let his mother know that her child was happy and growing stronger every day.

Wu Ku's mother in his previous life said this, but he didn't listen because Khan Ama's attitude influenced him.

Mother Uku still said this in this life, and he listened.

In addition to his inner relief, it was also because of his father Khan.

Recalling the conversation they had that night when they first met, Yinreng closed his eyes slightly.

The words "born to harm my mother" that had been persisted for decades finally received an apology and consolation from Khan Ama.

"Baocheng, my son, you must remember that your mother gave birth to you with all her might, and she loves you very much. You must let her spirit in heaven see that you are well and happy."

I have never seen my mother, but I have heard many people talk about her. In Yinreng's heart, his mother is the best mother in the world and the person who loves him the most.

He would always remember the person who gave birth to him, and who left him on this day, on the third day of May, two hours after giving birth to him.

He also always remembered what the wet nurse said, "The Queen never regrets giving birth to you, Your Highness!"

Tears sparkled and rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, Yinreng was the happy Prince Kang again.

He looked at the opera boys who were singing, stood up with a smile, and walked slowly towards the front yard.

As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, Yinreng saw several of his younger brothers coming together.

He raised his fan slightly, waved and called out, "Ninth brother, tenth brother, thirteenth brother."

Yinreng felt helpless and amused at the sight of these brothers who were not doing anything right. "Can you guys walk properly? With your arms around each other's shoulders, who can tell that one of you is the emperor and the other two are princes?"

Yinxiang glanced at his two brothers beside him, pulled his hands back decisively, stood upright, and said nonsense in a serious tone: "Second brother, you are wrong. Only the ninth and tenth brothers are arm in arm, not me."

He is still an emperor with a lot of idol baggage, and he can't do anything that will lose his image.

Yinzhen and Yinzhen glanced at him sideways and said quietly, "Thirteenth brother, what do you mean?"

"Ahem, I don't mean anything."

His eyes wandered for a moment, and Yinxiang looked at the sky innocently.

Oh my, why is the sky so blue today?

Why is this cloud so white?

Yinxiang was pretending to be so serious, and Yinzhen glared at him in anger and amusement, "With someone like you, you can't be seen as an emperor!"

The childish Thirteenth Brother is still childish even after becoming the emperor.

After two clicks of the tongue, Yinzhen looked at Yinreng and asked curiously, "Second brother, fourth brother and the others haven't arrived yet?"

Yinreng shook his head and replied, "They are still in the government office and will come later."

"But Honghui and Hongyao are here with me!"

With a little nephew, my younger brother is not so important.

Yinreng waved to Yinxiang and the others with a smile on his face, and took them to see his two little nephews who were sleeping soundly after playing tired.

"Look, these two little guys are sleeping."

They tiptoed into the house, and the four brothers surrounded their two three-year-old nephews and watched.

Yin? hasn't been back for more than a year. When he sees Honghui and Hongyao, his hands are itching.

"If they haven't fallen asleep, I'll carry them out to play."

Yin spoke in a low voice, his face full of regret.

He really wanted to play with these two soft balls. He really loved the children of his fourth brother and eighth brother.

"Then you can play with them after they wake up."

Yinzhen also spoke in a low voice, fearing that he would wake up the two children.

Yinxiang nodded and said, "You are back now, there are plenty of opportunities to play with them, why rush?"

Yinreng tucked in the quilt for Honghui, stroked Hongyao's forehead, and started to drive the three of them out.

"Get out, get out, don't wake them up."

After leading his three brothers who were still reluctant to leave, Yinreng resumed his normal voice, looked at them with disdain, and said, "Don't hang your heads. Today is my birthday. All of you should be happy."

“Oh…” Yin Tui responded dejectedly.

Yinxiang's eyes lit up and he remembered something.

He quickly grabbed Yinreng and said, "Second brother, I brought you a gift. I left it in the front hall. Do you want to take a look?"

Before he finished speaking, Yinzhen also said: "Me too, me too, my gift is there too."

As soon as Yinzhen finished speaking, Yinreng looked at him suspiciously, remained silent for a long time, and asked tentatively: "What is your gift?"

Could it be the same gift I gave to my fourth and thirteenth brothers, another golden statue?

If that happened, Yinreng felt that he might beat Yinzhen to death on the spot.

Yinzhen curled his lips and muttered, "How is that possible! I'm not that generous!"

The fourth brother and the thirteenth brother deserved to receive his loving golden statues. As for the others, at most he would make them for the eighth brother and the tenth brother - although the two would rather beat him to death than have such a gift.

Yinzhen looked at Yinreng with sincerity in his eyes and spoke very honestly, but it was too honest, so much so that Yinreng wanted to beat him to death even more.

"Nine, why don't you just shut up?"

Nothing that comes out of this mouth is pleasant to hear.

Yinreng glared at Yinzhen, then turned and left.

I didn't want to continue talking to Yinzhen at all.

Yinxiang, who was standing next to him, sighed, said nothing, patted Yin'er on the shoulder, and then followed Yinreng's footsteps and left.

Yinzhen also wanted to follow suit, but as soon as he raised his hand, he was stared at by Yinzhen with deathly gaze.

He stood there with his hands raised, paused, and quickly forced a smile, smiling flatteringly at Yinzhen, "Ninth Brother, shall we go too?"

Don’t be afraid, Brother Jiu will definitely not hit him.

Even if I beat him, I definitely won’t kill him.

Even if you really want to beat him to death, you will definitely be stopped.
