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

Kangxi educated the crown prince and felt quite satisfied. After leaving, the emperor invited Nalan Xingde to accompany him and chatted while walking.

"Year after year, Rong Ruo has watched Bao grow up."

Nalan Xingde said with a smile: "I haven't seen him for a while, but now I am looking at him with admiration. I think back to my highness when I was a child, I used to like Weichen to walk with him. It was a small ball at that time, but now it is so tall. gone."

Kangxi smiled deeper, and said with emotion: "Yes, Baochang has grown up. In a blink of an eye, Hesheli has been gone for more than ten years, and the voice of the old man is gradually blurred. If there is no portrait for me to remember, I am even afraid, I will Forget about the appearance of a wife."

If other people were present at this time, they would probably keep their mouths shut and dare not agree, but Nalan Xingde also died and had a wife, and he almost hurt himself because of this, and he felt the most empathy with Kangxi.

Nalan Xingde sighed softly: "Yes, I sometimes have such thoughts, lest the ruthless years will blur the face of my first wife in my memory."

Kangxi suddenly remembered something: "Did your kid say we were kissing?"

"The eldest son, Fugger, has made a marriage arrangement."

Kangxi was surprised and said: "It's been decided so early." Rong Ruo's eldest son is one year younger than Baocheng!

"If we make a decision earlier, the two families should be prepared," Nalan Xingde said, "I heard that the emperor is also looking for a wife for the First Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

When mentioning this matter, Kangxi got excited: "Elder Brother has concubine Hui here, and I still have someone to discuss with. When I got to the crown prince, I really spent a lot of effort. In order to choose the crown prince, I chose the princess." The best noble ladies take everything seriously, from family to birthday, and this child has a lot of demands!"

Nalan Xingde listened to Kangxi's retelling of Yinreng's original words, and his stomach ached from laughing: "As expected of His Royal Highness, I have had different ideas since I was a child." There are so many?

"His Highness Left and Right is still young, and the Crown Princess may need to spend time to cultivate it. Your Majesty, whoever family you have taken a fancy to, you just need to train it well. Your Highness likes those who are smart and knowledgeable, so teach them well. I like cats." It seems to scratch people, so that also teaches."

Nalan Xingde laughed and began to give Kangxi bad ideas.

Kangxi actually listened carefully and nodded: "I really have that intention."

Nalan Xingde: "Your Majesty, I am joking with you!"

Kangxi waved his hand: "Are you kidding, I mean it."

Now he is like an evil mother-in-law who is eager to train her daughter-in-law, eager to find a good princess and train her to be a perfect daughter-in-law.

A good daughter-in-law in Kangxi's mind should be filial to her parents-in-law at the top, and manage the East Palace for the prince at the bottom. She has perfect etiquette, has the style of maternal respect, and has a gentle and pure personality, virtuous and sensitive.

On this basis, the emperor also asked that the prince's preferences be taken into account when raising little girls. Apart from the necessary housekeeping and court etiquette, it is also necessary to teach less embroidery and female virtues, and to add physics, mathematics and foreign studies.As for the flirting and cat tickling that the prince wants?Kangxi couldn't say that.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the future crown princess's studies will not be much easier than that of the prince.

In the end, Kangxi himself was not sure what kind of training the selected princess would be.

Nalan Xingde: ...

Do you want to remind His Highness the Crown Prince?

When it comes to finding a daughter-in-law, Kangxi is in a good mood. With a daughter-in-law, is the eldest grandson still far away?

"Come here, go and bring the cakes that the French envoys paid tribute to the prince."

Knowing that the prince likes exotic things from abroad, Kangxi himself doesn't pay much attention to these things, and subconsciously sends a copy to Yinfeng when he thinks about it.

On the other hand, seeing Nalan Xingde leaving with Ama Khan, Yinfeng firmly believed: Although Rong Ruo has become Ama Khan's person, his body belongs to Ama Khan, but his heart is here alone!

He is very confident, because Rong Ruo, in order to be nice to him, even had an unhappiness with the Pearl in his palm, Yin Reng can remember it all.

Yinfeng: As soon as I heard that Gu was going to study abroad, Rong Ruo offered to help!

[Big friend, watch less cartoons and more educational films. 】

Xiaomei sighed, worried about Yinfeng's increasingly lively character.

If it goes on like this, Prince Yinfeng will be affected by it, how can he still look like his previous life?

Yinfeng said: "Gu intends to introduce the knowledge of foreign languages ​​into the study room."

Cao Zhen was surprised and said, "Why didn't Your Highness raise this matter in front of the Emperor?"

"I have to prove that the foreign language course is really useful, so that it can become the homework of my younger brothers." Only then can we train more little donkeys!

"Ah Zhen, do you think it is difficult to learn foreign languages? If Gu is introduced to this class, will the younger brothers complain about Gu?"

Convincing Khan Ama, who has already stepped forward with one foot, Yinfeng is sure. As long as Khan Ama pays attention, the Taifus will not be a problem. The only thing that worries him is that his younger brothers don’t seem to be very smart. Not everyone is as talented as him. If new courses are introduced, it will increase the academic burden and cause dissatisfaction among the younger brothers. No little donkey will want to get close to him in the future.

Yinfeng was a little worried, so he first asked Cao Zhen, who had worked so hard to catch up behind him and studied hard to keep up.

Cao Zhen scratched her head: "It's really difficult to learn a foreign language, but you can learn it slowly by memorizing it. This knowledge mainly depends on memory. I have recited all the four books and five classics. I don't even know how to recite Tang poetry and Song Ci." It doesn’t matter how much you have learned, and it’s okay to memorize another foreign language. It’s just that your highness, don’t let the younger brothers learn five foreign languages ​​at once like you, they should still be able to keep up with their studies, no matter how bad they are, they can still teach them slowly!”

Reciting five foreign languages ​​together with Yinreng almost cost Cao Zhen his life, and thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince being considerate of him, he often gives him remedial lessons, stop and wait for him, otherwise he will really be unable to keep up.

Cao Zhen was a little bit disappointed. When he was there, his grandfather often praised the Cao family as a young genius, and his father also said that he was very talented, but every time he studied with His Highness, he felt that his elm head was too stupid.

What Yinfeng wants to ask is whether the younger brothers will get tired of studying. Cao Zhen is not a younger brother, so of course he can't think about things from the perspective of younger brothers.

Cao Zhen suggested: "It's better for Your Highness to find a way to guide the young brothers to become interested in foreign languages."

Hobbies are the best sirs. There are carrots fishing ahead, so the little donkeys are excited to run!

Yinfeng suddenly realized, he patted Cao Zhen on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "I will teach Ah Zhen about this."

Cao Zhen:? ? ?

"Your Highness, how can I go to the study and talk to the little brothers? Don't you have the opportunity to teach the little brothers?"

Cao Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and threw the job back to Yinfeng: "The slaves can't overstep, and they don't even have official positions. They are just your companions. How can they dictate to other little brothers?"

He whispered to Yinfeng: "Your Highness is close to me, and I always remember your kindness in my heart, but outside, I still have to call myself a slave and know the rules. I learned this in the palace since I was very young." Rules. It has nothing to do with whether you value your slaves or not, and no one will bully you with shame, but I walk outside to represent your face, and if I do something wrong, I will implicate you."

Cao Zhen knew that in the eyes of outsiders, she was labeled as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.The more outstanding he is, the more excellent the crown prince is. He is young and promising, so he will not hold back His Highness!

Yinfeng was very moved, and held Cao Zhen's hand: "Yes, Ah Zhen is a lonely person, and she will not be abducted by Khan Ama like Rong Ruo."

However, compared to other donkeys in the court, Yinreng regards Cao Zhen as a friend and playmate more. The relationship between suffering and playing together since childhood is not ordinary, the relationship is strong!

Kangxi turned a blind eye to this, firstly because he favored Cao Yin, and secondly, because of Cao Zhen's extraordinary talent and great potential.

Cao Zhen, like his father, is astute and has an exquisite heart. Cao Yin will share the worries for Kangxi just right, and Cao Zhen will also share the worries for Yinfeng. Can such a relationship still be bad?

"His Royal Highness, the emperor ordered his servants to bring you pastries that France paid tribute to."

The pastry was pitch-black, and it looked hard and thick. It looked like a brick, and it was tightly wrapped.

Yinfeng stared at the dark rectangle condescendingly, and asked the little eunuch, "What kind of cake is this?"

The little eunuch replied tremblingly: "The French envoy called it Spanish pastry, and the envoy said that it is the most popular delicious pastry in their country."

This Spanish pastry, you can tell where it was born when you hear the name. In just a few years, it quickly spread from Spain to England and France, and even spread throughout the entire Western countries.

Yinfeng pinched it and smelled it under his nose, he smelled the aroma of cocoa beans!

His eyes lit up: "Hey, isn't this the chocolate that Xiaomei gave Gu to eat?"

Cao Zhen pricked up her ears: "What? Who gave you the chocolate? Does Your Highness know what this pastry is made of?"

Yinfeng picked up a piece and tasted it, it was really chocolate!

"Your Highness...Your Highness, this product can be dissolved in water and taken after heating."

He gave Cao Zhen all these chocolates called Spanish pastries...

Cao Zhen ate one piece after another, eating it with relish: "It's delicious, it's delicious! It's just a little dry, maybe that's why it's easy to preserve?"

As Cao Zhen ate, the thoughts in his mind became clearer. He analyzed: "Your Highness is worrying about three major matters now. The first is how to persuade the emperor to receive the Dutch envoys. Mr. Foreigners, the third thing is to bring foreign students into the study room, in fact, these things can be easily resolved."

He began to smooth out his thoughts for Yinrong: "You go to teach the little brothers and tell them how good foreign studies are, and what are the practical benefits of learning foreign languages. I am afraid it will be difficult to convince them. You have to tempt them with real things. .”

Give lessons to the younger brothers and tempt them with real things?

Yinfeng was thoughtful, and recalled the good things that France paid tribute to. What among them would arouse the interest of the younger brothers?

Seeing Yinreng thinking about it, Cao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he knew it, the job was kicked back to Yinrong.

Cao Zhen looked down at the cakes on the plate, then stopped suddenly, hurriedly stuffed the remaining half plate of cakes back to Yinfeng, pointed to it and shouted: "That's it, that's it! Your Highness, go and give this to Yinreng." Little brothers, try something new."

Yinfeng suddenly realized: "Gu understands!"

"Let's go, let's take a trip to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Yinfeng went over in a hurry and proposed to visit the French "tribute".

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs whispered: "His Royal Highness, the French tribute is nothing more than food, play, and jewelry, and they are not as expensive as the ornaments in the Crown Prince's womb!"

Yinfeng said impatiently: "Okay, open the door for Gu. If you are afraid of Khan Ama's scolding, Gu will send someone to inform Khan Ama."

The emperor's private treasury is all open to His Royal Highness, and the emperor also said "the prince will give him whatever he wants", which can be said to be the extreme spoiling of children, and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will naturally not stop him.

However, Yinreng was not interested in valuables, and all the ornaments in Yuqing Palace were rewarded by Kangxi and ordered to be put up.In his eyes, a priceless jade pendant is not as valuable as a new test tube made by Liuli official kiln!

Yinfeng plunged into the tribute from France and rummaged through it. Under Xiaomei's scanning, he really found a small bag of cocoa beans.

"Spanish cakes and biscuits, it's because they didn't put milk and egg whites in proportion when making them," Yinfeng took the bag of cocoa beans, ran to the dining room of Yuqing Palace, and picked the cook with the most muscular arms to send them away Egg white, then add milk and sugar, heat through baking, and finally make the "chocolate" in the Xiaomei system formula.If the slight bitterness of chocolate makes people who taste it strange for the first time, then the chocolate milk made with the milk of the Qing court abandons the bitterness, leaving only sweetness, which is most suitable for coaxing younger brothers!

A-Zhen was the first to drink the chocolate milk, her peach blossom eyes narrowed like a cat's, and she pursed her mouth as she enjoyed it.

The crown prince ordered someone to send something hot and dark to Kangxi. Kangxi looked sideways, smelled the sweet smell, and raised his eyebrows: "Is this what Baocheng made with the beans he took from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"His Royal Highness said that this is chocolate milk, and ordered his servants to present this to the emperor. His Royal Highness cooked it himself."

Kangxi laughed and said: "Isn't this the 'Chocolla' that foreigners always like to eat? I'm really ignorant. It has no medicinal effect, but it's just something that you can taste casually as a drink, and it deserves his attention?" Things, the French paid tribute, the English paid tribute, and there were also tributes from Spain and the Netherlands. Kangxi didn't take it seriously at all.

As he said so, Kangxi really drank it with dignity when he heard that the crown prince cooked it himself.

After drinking, he commented: "It's too savory, too sweet. But after all, the prince cooked it himself, and his filial piety is commendable."

In a moment, he drank the chocolate milk.

It's over after drinking, Kangxi only regarded it as a small episode where the prince wanted to be filial to him temporarily, and didn't take it seriously.

Soon, Kangxi came to the upper study room to inspect the homework of the younger brothers. Because Yinzuo and other younger brothers performed well, Kangxi asked them cheerfully: "What reward do you want? However, you can only ask me for one thing!"

Kangxi recalled that at the beginning, Baoqing asked him for a bow, and Baocheng asked him for a mirror tributed from abroad.

Yinzuo raised his head: "Khan Ama, I want chocolate, ten yuan!"

"Ah! The sixth brother is so cunning. My son wants chocolate too, and he wants five yuan."

"Khan Amalchen also wants it, and if he doesn't ask too much, he will ask for two yuan."

"But the second brother of the prince said that there are not many more in his place, and there is only enough for one piece for each of us."

The three elder brothers asked Kangxi eagerly, "Does Khan Ama have any chocolate?"

Kangxi: I have not.

It was Baocheng who messed up again!

In order to complete the previously boasted Haikou, Kangxi ordered people to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect tribute from overseas.

The head of the House of Internal Affairs was sweating profusely, eager like ants on a hot pot: "Because the emperor is not interested in these things, there are not many tributes from overseas, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already taken away what is left."

Kangxi was silent for a moment, and said angrily: "Go and call Baocheng!"

"Hold on."

"Show Bai Jin into the palace as well."

The emperor's angry voice was chilling. The younger brothers looked at each other and gathered together tremblingly. They didn't dare to speak until Kangxi left, and then the pot exploded.

Yin Zhi's intuition is not good: "It's not good, we made Khan Ama angry, and Khan Ama is going to beat the second brother of the prince!"

Yinqi was surprised: "How could Khan Ama do such a thing?"

Yin Zuo shrank his neck: "No way? No way? How could you beat the second brother of the prince? Isn't it because there is no chocolate? Could it be that Khan Ama became angry from embarrassment?"

Yinzhen knocked his silly brother on the head with a chestnut, and said angrily: "Say nonsense, if you don't keep your mouth shut, you will cause trouble sooner or later."

Yinzhi: "Quickly report to the second brother!"

Yinzhen stayed calm and poured cold water on him with a blank face: "I'm afraid it's too late to report now."

Yinzuo said in fear: "Are we going to watch the second brother of the prince be beaten? Khan Ama is so fierce, I almost cried just now."

He yelled: "I'll go to Er Niang and tell Er Niang that I want to eat chocolate!"

Yinqi also said: "I, I'll go and ask Madam Huang."

Yinyou looked around, his biological mother was of low status and could not help him in this regard, he was raised under the name of Concubine Hui, after all, he was not as comfortable as Yinzuo with his mother's pampering.

"I, I'm going to ask my brother..."

Yin Yun: "Wait, what are you doing?!"

The big thing is not good, this group of boys who are not serious or serious are trying to force Han Ama to compromise!

Yinzhi also added fuel to the fire: "I'll go to Er Niang too, and my fourth brother will also help me to talk to the imperial concubine empress, but I can't let the second brother of the prince get beaten up."

He was convinced that Khan Ama was a bad Ama who beat his son, and every time he beat the prince's second brother to the brim, he eagerly told his younger brothers about Khan Ama's beating of the prince's second brother.

Yin Mo: ...

This third son, if the prince knows that you have ruined his reputation, he will kill your stinky brother.

"You are doing this to roast the prince on the fire, to rebel! I don't even think about you persecuting Khan Ama, what will Khan Ama think?"

Yinzhen made the matter extremely serious, trying in vain to save the brothers who had been coaxed by the prince so much that they didn't even remember who they were.

Yinzuo's smelly temper came up, and he contradicted Yinzhen: "How can it be so serious, Khan Ama wants to reward us, is it wrong for me to want chocolate?"

Yinqi said meekly: "That's right, I want chocolate too, and Khan Ama got angry when he couldn't get it out."

Yinzhi: "It's just a child's gluttony, there's no need to make such a fuss, and the prince's second brother can't be beaten up by Khan Ama just because we are gluttonous!"

"Yes, yes, Khan Ama can't beat the second brother."

Yin Zuo muttered: "Second brother is so miserable, so it turns out that Han Ama is the one who likes to beat children?"

Chocolate is the ultimate delicacy that has been popular in the West for a long time. It can always tease people's taste buds and bring people pleasure.

As early as the pre-Ming Dynasty, Venice had already become a holy land of chocolate. In the West, the chocolate trade has been fully mature and flourished for more than a hundred years.

Bai Jin praised chocolate as a "noble" treasure, a treasure that only eminent people can taste, this kind of treasure is highly sought after by nobles in France.

Bai Jin brags to Kangxi about the status of chocolate in their country.

"When the queen marries the king, she uses chocolate as a token of love."

In Paris, as in other European cities, there are shops selling chocolate everywhere, and the prices are very high.

Seeing that the Qing emperor and prince were both interested in chocolate, Bai Jin pleaded eagerly: "If the Emperor and His Highness want to ask France to buy chocolate, it is of course the highest honor of our country, but compared to buying with wealth, I don't know if we can buy chocolate." May I have the honor of asking your country to purchase the precious recipe of how to bring order to the city?"

Bai Jin didn't ask much. He begged the emperor of the Qing Dynasty to allow their country's envoys to copy the design drawings of the Qing toilets and sewer pipes back to China, and asked Kangxi sincerely: "I don't know how the emperor and all the adults solve people's problems. Poop problem?"

The "office chair" used by their king Louis XIV is a kind of toilet chair, with a box below and a hole above. When the ministers met the king, the king sometimes discussed state affairs with the ministers while making convenience in public.

In order to defecate and pee gracefully, they came up with all kinds of tricks, but none of them was as elegant and dignified as the latrines of the Qing Dynasty.

How in the cesspool can water flow down and wash away the feces when the rope is pulled?

The craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty were ingenious, and the design they made opened Bai Jin's eyes, and he wished he could live in a toilet.

Kangxi glanced at Yinfeng: the design of the water flow was also proposed by the prince.

Bai Jin also cautiously made a presumptuous request at the risk of losing his head: "I wonder if your majesty would like to let me visit your convenient place?"

Liang Jiugong turned pale with shock, and angrily scolded: "Presumptuous!"

Yinreng's pupils trembled, and he glanced at Bai Jin with undecided eyes, and was so frightened that he quietly took half a step back.

God!Do you still want to visit the imperial toilet?He is so perverted!

[Big friend suggested that the imperial toilets designed by the craftsmen have advanced water flushing methods. If you visit, it will really open Bai Jin's eyes. 】Kangxi's face was black, and he coldly refused: "I don't want to! The messenger has overstepped."

Bai Jin was taken aback, and knelt down on the ground with a plop, breaking out in cold sweat: He was the one who overstepped, the emperor's imperial toilet, it must have been made with the brilliant ideas of skilled craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty, this Must be a big secret!

The author has something to say: The Kangxi imperial toilet, located in Zhaoling, Shenyang, is an advanced flushing toilet!

When the emperors of the Qing Dynasty went to the toilet, they sat on the hollowed out dragon chairs. They did not squat, and there was a "septic tank" under the clean room
