[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

Kangxi was stuck for a moment, and even Liang Jiugong felt the weird pause.

"Playing Chen Tingjing? How do you play it?" Kangxi's first reaction was not anger, but curiosity.

Doesn't he know what kind of person Chen Tingjing is?His temper is as hard as a stinky rock, and he doesn't flatter the rich and powerful, and is stubborn. Even the emperor refused to accommodate him when he asked him to borrow some money when he was young. He only makes friends with friends and never shows affection. Kangxi is really curious. Baocheng's small-mouthed sweet talk is just for himself, but Chen Tingjing doesn't buy it.

Liang Jiugong twitched the corners of his mouth and looked down at the floor: "Chen, Master Chen agrees that His Highness the Crown Prince is a half-fairy of the 'Prophet of the Unknown'."

Kangxi:? ? ?

The emperor's puzzled look made Liang Jiugong want to laugh, but he was in pain. He wanted to laugh but could only hold back, but Xinyu, who was on duty in Yuqing Palace, watched how Mr. Chen sank step by step. .

"The first time, His Highness the Crown Prince said that he could read faces and predict the future, but Lord Chen still didn't believe it. His Highness the Crown Prince said that he would encounter a pond on his way home. There was a sugar seller by the pond. Lord Chen really met him. Yes, I have doubts in my heart."

Kangxi recruited Xinyu, and sat in front of the imperial case with a blank expression, listening to him quietly.

"The second time, the crown prince said that he could predict the future. Mr. Chen asked His Highness the Crown Prince to show him in a tentative mood. His Highness said that his house has been restless recently. Mr. Chen was quite angry. Who ever wanted to go home, but heard that his mother wanted to go home? Taking a concubine for him, and his wife and daughter quarreling with him, it really is really unsettling for the house."

"For the third time, Mr. Chen suspected that His Highness the Crown Prince had placed contacts around him, so he asked His Highness the Crown Prince to show him a picture. His Highness the Crown Prince said that there were scars on the soles of his feet, which were left by stepping on nails before, and that he had a scar on his forehead. The mole was stung by a bee when I was a child. Master Chen was shocked," Xinyu said in a businesslike manner, without any ups and downs in his tone, but when he said the sentence with a face full of shock, his voice was a bit higher, which matched his unspeakable embarrassment. The look of embarrassment, the appearance of hesitating to talk made Kangxi startled.

"Master Chen said that His Highness the Crown Prince was indeed taught by immortals since he was a child. He didn't really believe it when the Emperor said earlier that His Highness had an adventure, but now it seems that His Highness really has something miraculous about him."

Kangxi's throat was dry, and he squeezed out a sentence: "Bai Ze knows everything in the world, and let him use it to deceive people?"

Xinyu is the chief guard of Luanyi Guard. He used to be responsible for the safety of Kangxi and Yinreng. Now he is in charge of the safety of Yinreng. He is also one of the insiders. He said hoarsely: "At present, it seems that the fairy beast may be very serious to His Highness. Indulge."

Xinyu explained: "It's still because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't find a way to avoid Taifu Chen's strictness."

At the very beginning, Yinfeng tried all kinds of methods, and found that Chen Tingjing was really like a cactus, very difficult to handle, and it was impossible to be flexible. He stared at himself every day to do his homework, write articles, write poems and songs, and study the Four Books and Five Classics , I have to practice calligraphy a hundred times ah a hundred times!

Chen Tingjing strictly required Yinreng to practice calligraphy for two hours a day, in the morning and in the afternoon respectively. He firmly believed that practicing calligraphy can cultivate one's morality and self-cultivation.

Writing calligraphy is just a "warm-up", and the real class is the real cramming education. Yinfeng has a good memory, so he keeps teaching new knowledge. The smarter Yinfeng is, the more he will increase the bottom line of temptation. Constantly tapping his potential, his own education is not completely fine, Chen Tingjing also discussed with other Taifus to add knowledgeable scholars to Yinreng to make up for his homework.

Although the crown prince is not in the household department, he has to learn all the skills that the household secretary needs to master, and Chen Tingjing personally teaches them.

Why did Chen Tingjing manage the finances in the household department when Kangxi was eight years old?He really worked as the Minister of the Household Department and was in charge of the national finances.

This time, Yu Guozhu was not promoted, and even suffered a lawsuit. Seeing that there was no hope of promotion, Kangxi also decided to transfer Chen Tingjing back to continue to manage the household department after Hanchen's household department was transferred to other places, because he abides by his heart and does not care about finances. If you are moved, you will be able to properly manage the country's treasury.

Khan Ama invited Chen Tingjing for him. After one Chen Tingjing taught, there are countless spare tires waiting for Yinfeng.

It is impossible for him to empty out everyone's ink in a short period of time, Chen Tingjing organized a whole teacher group for him!

Compared with Tang Bin, he was more like a serious teaching director. He carried out Kangxi's orders meticulously, and almost squeezed Yinfeng dry into pickled cabbage.

"His Royal Highness has been obedient for seven days. He obediently completes the homework assigned by Mr. Chen every day. Except for sleeping for three hours at night, the rest of the time is used for exercise and meals, and the rest is used for study."

It was just seven days of obedience, because Yinfeng found a shortcut to capture Chen Tingjing from the eighth day on.

"His Royal Highness follows Mr. Chen to learn how to manage money and how to write poetry and prose."

Xinyu truthfully talked about what Yinfeng had done these days. It was Kangxi's task to transfer him to His Royal Highness, and every time he came to the emperor, he would tell His Royal Highness something about him.

Everyone knows Xinyu's origin, which is where Kangxi's trust lies. The existence of Xinyu is the unspeakable tacit understanding between the prince and the emperor.

"Well, what about seven days later?"

Kangxi raised his eyelids, wanting to know how Chen Tingjing is doing now.

"Seven days later, in order to avoid writing poems, His Highness always made detours with Mr. Chen, and later brought up reading for some reason."

Chen Tingjing stepped into the deep pit dug by Yinfeng step by step. At the beginning, he just mentioned a little to remind him not to let the carriage go to the right when returning home, which is unlucky. The carriage made a detour to the right to go home, but didn't it bump into the prostituted burial father?

Kangxi could imagine how Baocheng opened his eyes and told nonsense, while a fairy beast tipped him off, and at the same time fooled Chen Tingjing into a trance.

"Why did Liang Jiugong say that the prince has nothing else to play with, so he went to play with Chen Tingjing?"

Xinyu said: "Although the emperor locked His Highness in Yuqing Palace and did not allow him to come out, it did not shorten his basic necessities. The rest of the servants can also go out to buy things for His Highness. In addition, His Highness sent you many letters of repentance but did not Seeing you appearing once, I guessed that you might have ordered that your subordinates not be allowed to mention him to intercede with you, so I became even more daring."

Kangxi frowned, always feeling that something was beyond expectation.

"Baocheng wrote me many letters of repentance?"

When Kangxi asked, Liang Jiugong hurriedly handed over the dozens of letters of repentance.

Turning the pages roughly, I can see that these confessions are full of mistakes. There are only a few sentences repeated over and over again.

Kangxi snorted coldly, put them far away, got up and drove to Yuqing Palace.

Liang Jiugong hesitated to speak, and went to visit Xinyu frequently.

Xinyu's face was full of innocence: Even if he went to report to His Highness that the emperor was coming, it was too late to deal with it.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, 'Ama Khan is lonely, but I have to find a way to get Ama Khan's attention'."

Kangxi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What did he think of to get my attention?" I held back for a whole month without asking!

"His Royal Highness, he always instigated Mr. Chen to come to you to complain," Xinyu chuckled and explained.

As soon as Yinreng found out that Khan Ama concealed his ears and pretended to be deaf and blind in order not to see him, he was sad for a meal, and immediately felt full of energy after eating.

Khan Ama left him alone, what a great opportunity!

So Yinfeng began to ask outsiders for books and experimental equipment, all of which were for learning. Chen Tingjing couldn't say that learning science was bad or learning foreign languages ​​was bad.

On this day, Yinfeng ate a sweet orange while enjoying the shoulder and neck massage from Madam Xu.

Madam Xu will relax his neck after reading for too long after finishing his studies. This is also a health regimen approved by the imperial physicians, because sitting for a long time and sitting at a desk for a long time will indeed cause discomfort in the neck and waist. This is also the emperor's order. It's an old problem, His Royal Highness should take good care of it at this age, don't get tired, or you will be sad when you grow up.

Yinfeng was talking about letting Mr. Chen do something, he looked at the oranges in his hand, his eyes lit up: "Go and send some oranges from the research institute to Mr. Chen."

Chen Tingjing was baffled when he received the gift from the crown prince, so he came to Yinfeng and asked him: "It's not a festival, and I haven't done anything worthy of His Highness's gratitude, why does Your Highness send someone to give fruit to this humble minister? "

"This is an orange, which is a hybrid of pomelo and tangerine," Yinfeng said, pointing to the fruit that Chen Tingjing had returned, "Although it is a hybrid, taking the advantages of the two has produced its unique flavor, which can be used as a new fruit on the market. "

Chen Tingjing didn't know much about fruit, so he suddenly realized: "Your Highness, you want to let my ministers see this orange, so as to prepare for the promotion?"

"Then His Highness has made a wrong idea. In terms of reputation among the people, I am not as good as Ding Sikong, who is now very popular, nor is it as good as Yu Chenglong, the governor of Liangjiang, or even Suoxiang and Mingxiang."

"Teacher's relationship is wrong," Yinreng said with a dumbfounded smile, "Orange and grapefruit cross to become orange, orange and orange cross to become mandarin, citron and orange cross to become it."

He handed a small pale yellow object to Chen Tingjing.

Chen Tingjing asked, "What is this?"

Yinfeng: "Lemon."

"Food is sour and astringent, articulate, can maintain health, beautify the skin, and treat oral heat sores," Yinfeng asked Chen Tingjing: "These are the products of random hybridization in the research institute according to Gu's proposal. Are the various researches beneficial to the country and the people's livelihood?"

Chen Tingjing had a hunch that the crown prince was finally going to reveal his purpose, so he replied obediently: "The contribution of the research institute to the people of the Qing Dynasty is undoubted. Studying cannons is an important weapon to enhance our country's national strength. Weichen thinks that other research institutes must have their own special features."

"Plant hybridization can be used to learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses, so can grain production be increased through this? Just thinking, Mr. Chen should still remember the research that Chen Mengqiu announced before the Grain Institute?"

Chen Tingjing nodded: "I remember."

So what does the prince want to do?

"In the future, the research institute will set up more research projects, which will strengthen the national power of the Qing Dynasty, improve the people's livelihood, and change people's lives. However, the current research institute is running on Khan Ama's private treasury. The day when Ma's private treasury was emptied. But its existence brought about the strengthening and changes of the Qing Dynasty's national power, can Mr. Chen understand Gu's worries?"

Chen Tingjing suddenly said: "Your Highness wants to transfer the research wealth of the research institute to the Ministry of Finance, and take the account of the national treasury?"

"So, is it feasible?" Yinfeng asked.

Chen Tingjing thought about it for a while, then shook his head resolutely: "It's not feasible."

"Research will cost money, but you can still benefit from it. If the benefits obtained are also charged into the emperor's private treasury instead of the national treasury, it is not feasible, unless the emperor allows the wealth earned by the research to be charged to the household department, so It can balance the treasury. Otherwise, the treasury will spend money to support the private treasury of the emperor and his highness, which will be of no benefit to the country."

Yinfeng slapped the table: "This is exactly what Gu wanted to say! Mr. Chen spoke out Gu's heart, but Gu can't see Khan Ama now, and he can only be persuaded by Mr. Chen. Think about it, These fruits are now placed on the table of Gu and Khan Ama. If the research funds of the research institute are allocated by the national treasury, these fruits will benefit the people more quickly in the future. By then, there will be more delicacies like this on the dining table of Lord Chen’s home. How good is it?"

Chen Tingjing looked at Yinfeng silently for a long while, then nodded: "Your Highness's words are very true, and I will bring your words to the emperor."

"Your Highness, it's time for the Poems and Fu classes again. Today we will recite poems with the theme of New Fruits."

Yinfeng: "..."

"By the way, Mr. Chen, Gu can also know five elements and eight trigrams."

Chen Tingjing: "I know that Your Highness has an adventure and is blessed by immortals. You are extremely talented, so you can't let your talent go to waste. Your Highness, come and write poetry!"

Chen Tingjing's brain is like a tendon, he knows it all the way!

Yinreng couldn't talk about him from left to right, held his breath, and under the power of Chen Tingjing, he honestly cultivated his culture.

At first he asked the warehouse for a screen, but Khan Amma did not show up. Later, he became more courageous and asked the warehouse for potted plants and small trees, but Khan Ama still did not show up.

Yinreng made a maze between his bedroom and the main hall with screens, potted plants and small trees. Unless the small trees were dug up or cut down with an axe, those who walked the maze could only climb. Flip through the tree, or honestly circle around.Then, he gradually expanded his layout to cover the entire Yuqing Palace. After fourteen days, he finally covered the road leading to the study.

The screen is firmly stuck between the trees and cannot be moved away. There is only one secret passage leading to the end, and that secret passage is still in the middle of the sky. If you want to climb up and walk, no smart person can get around it.There are also physical mechanisms and chemical mechanisms in the maze. Only when the organs are touched, the secret passage will be revealed.

While learning, Yinreng arranged his maze. When Chen Tingjing came to him, he hid in his dormitory and sent a message to Chen Tingjing.

"Your Highness doesn't want to study today. He said that he misses the Emperor. If he doesn't see the Emperor, he won't study. Master Chen, look, should we go to His Highness to teach him, or go back and complain to the Emperor?"

Yinfeng began to play tricks, so he gave Chen Tingjing two ways: either go to Khan Ama to file a complaint and lure him to see the orphan, or go to the maze to come to the orphan, as long as you find the orphan, the orphan will learn again honestly one day.

Chen Tingjing: "..."

He turned and left silently, he chose not to choose either path, but to sue the other four tutors.

The four Taifus looked at each other: "His Royal Highness is doing this in the hope that Mr. Chen can attract the emperor."

"But the emperor doesn't want to see His Highness the Crown Prince."

If you see it, you can't help but let him out.

Tang Bin said: "The crown prince is not a student who doesn't like to study. He might study on his own in bed. If this matter cannot be reported to the emperor, how about you feel wronged by Mr. Chen?"

Tang Bin was still somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Tingjing. He pushed the prince too hard, which made His Royal Highness resist and annoy him when writing poems and prose. This is an overcorrection!

Yinfeng and Chen Tingjing played hide-and-seek. Sometimes, Chen Tingjing could go to the dormitory relying on his own intelligence, then he would study honestly for a day, but most of the time, Chen Tingjing would circle in circles in the maze , I can’t get out, don’t say it, and I’m always scared by the authorities.

Yinfeng asked him: "Gu is so mischievous, why don't you complain to Khan Ama?"

Chen Tingjing said indifferently: "If the old minister wants to complain to the emperor about these things, then why is he still an imperial envoy, talking about teaching the prince of the country?"

He looked at the mechanisms once, twice, and three times, thinking about the principles and magical functions of these mechanisms in his heart, and no one would believe what he said, but the moment Chen Tingjing found the exit, he really had a sense of joyful accomplishment.

The rest of the grand masters came to Yinfeng to teach, and he sent people to take shortcuts directly, but Chen Tingjing was "targeted" by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The prince urged him: "You go to Khan Ama to file a complaint."

Chen Tingjing's temperament is like that, the more he is asked to do something, he will refuse to do it, and he must go to the end. Even if His Highness always changes the layout of the maze, he may be able to walk the day before, and the next day He was going to go around in circles again, but he refused to file a complaint, endured it, and no longer sought help from other Taifus. As soon as he returned home, he studied the method of cracking the mechanism arranged by the Prince.

Chen Tingjing said with emotion: "The craftsmen under the name of His Royal Highness are so skillful, and the organs they have built for His Highness are unheard of. I go to Yuqing Palace every day, and there is to teach the Prince, and to open my eyes."

Yinfeng was sitting in his bedroom, practicing calligraphy while restless: "Master Tang Bin also advised Gu not to bully Mr. Chen, obviously he also enjoys it, okay?"

Mother Xu said helplessly: "Now everyone knows that His Highness is not on good terms with Mr. Chen, and he is unwilling to listen to Mr. Chen's teaching."

"Chen Tingjing secretly bullied Gu, and Gu is fighting back. Our record is evenly matched." No, because Chen Tingjing believes in Yinfeng's theory of reading, in fact, Yinfeng put him under greater pressure, and his record should be slightly better. , just waiting to break his psychological defense, so he had to go to Khan Ama to complain.

"His Royal Highness, Mr. Chen has unscrewed your mechanism, and you may arrive here soon." Jinxiu hurriedly came to report, panting.

"It seems that Mr. Chen has figured out the rules of solitary arrangement," Yin Reng touched his chin, and asked someone to put a spring-loaded fist on the door of the dormitory. Once Chen Tingjing pulled the door, the spring would hit him like a punch. chest.

The design inspiration of the spring fist comes from the movie "Home Alone" he watched before.

Yinfeng didn't mean to target Chen Tingjing either, it was really too much for him, he always took Khan Ama's chicken feathers as a sword and forced him to learn some Aba Aba Aba articles. It is well-known as "self-cultivation and self-cultivation".

Moreover, Chen Tingjing would be in a happy mood every time Yinfeng was deflated, and he dared to be in a happy mood!

Yinreng found that as long as he was unhappy, Chen Tingjing would be happy, which made him very uncomfortable, and he would be sorry for his hard work these days if he didn't toss about.

"It's strange, Xinyu hasn't come back for a long time," Yinfeng looked at the time, feeling that there were fewer people around him, and he felt awkward everywhere.

Hey, things are not so good: "If Xinyu doesn't come back, he must have been called away by Khan Ama. Quickly, let someone dismantle all the isolated organs!"

But it seemed that it was too late, because the door of the dormitory was pulled open from the outside, and the small fist that had been brewing for a long time struck out quickly, and hit the chest of the person who opened the door.
