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

The third elder brother and fourth elder brother outside the door were stunned, and Yin Zhi took the lead in saying: "The second elder brother of the prince has seen us coming?"

Yinfeng raised his eyes: "Gu is talking to Ah Zhen! Now Ah Zhen is the most useful 'male secretary' in front of Gu!"

Cao Zhen responded with a smile, and then opened the door for the two young elder brothers: "Your Highness's instruction, the servant has heard, and I will go and do it for you."

Cao Zhen greeted them and took her leave first, with a radiant smile, blinding Yin Zhen and Yin Zhi's eyes.

Yinzhi sighed, "Ah Zhen is getting more and more handsome the longer she grows."

He looked at the crown prince again, and said, "Second brother is the most handsome!"

Yinzhen was speechless, and couldn't bear to look directly at him: the third child in the previous life was reserved and had a literati temperament, so he seldom praised others outright.What is it that makes the third child in this life become the prince's sycophant?

The crown prince waved to them, Xiang Le said: "Gu Ye thinks he is the most handsome, don't stand outside, come in and talk."

Yinzhen: "..." Of these two, one is blowing with his eyes closed, and the other is full of confidence.

As for himself, he chose not to see, but to be blind, and not to hear, to be empty.

He is just a loner and can't stand the consequences of telling the truth. Thirteen is still in Zhang Jia's stomach. If he offends the prince and the third child by telling the truth and is "grouped and attacked" by them, no one can do it. help him.

Yinfeng asked them: "Have you already begun to familiarize yourself with the affairs of foreign schools and research institutes? How do you feel? Is the manpower left there handy?"

Yinzhi nodded, his eyes sparkling: "The people in the research institute take good care of my younger brother, and are willing to take my younger brother to study together to gain knowledge."

Yinzhen said: "The scale of foreign schools is beyond my imagination. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be unbelievable that foreign schools in Beijing have developed to such a degree."

The School of Foreign Studies, located on the edge of Taixue, has a whole building that is even better than that of Taixue. The college has its own arrangements for middle school students, dormitories, teaching, and courses.

He didn't choose the research institute that fascinated him, not because he didn't want to admit that he would not grow taller in the future, but because he opened his eyes to see the ever-changing outside world and saw a completely different era with his own eyes.

The atmosphere of the capital is quite different from the impression.

Scholars of letters seem to have got rid of the invisible shackles, abandoned the research of elementary school, and the old-fashioned academic annotations, and instead came into contact with the study of things to gain knowledge and practice the world.

Foreign studies are especially popular. Although the academic pressure is heavy, students not only need to learn languages, but also need to learn new sciences. The old studies of Confucianism should not be lost, but they must also be learned, but the proportion of exams is lower.

Yinzhen said: "Science can enlighten the wisdom of the people, increase their knowledge, and be promoted to the official position because of the acquisition of science. Although it is not as new as the established Enke's mathematics as a new course at the Taixue next door, many students have taken the initiative to learn it after school. Learn these."

"Many gentlemen in Taixue are dissatisfied with this."

"Oh," Yinfeng said calmly, "if you are dissatisfied, you will be dissatisfied. The principal of Taixue is still a conservative literati who really supports stereotyped essays! There are also officials in the Ministry of Rites who are quite critical of this, and there are also some in the court, but so what? "

"In front of the courtiers is the treasury that is gradually becoming richer, the gospel of people's life is gradually improving, and the benefits that are shining brightly. How can a sentence of "incompatible with etiquette" and two sentences of "ancestral family law" be worth reality? Can the family law be ruled? Gu is a pragmatic school. What Gu gives out is the choice that a smart enough person should make when he wakes up. Gu also expects them to raise some objections. If there is something to say, Gu is not I can't listen to it, but empty words like 'incompatibility with etiquette' and 'ancestral family law' are not enough to hold water, and everyone knows that they are just excuses to protect the old system and old interests, which is very false."

The prince's confidence and "recklessness" opened Yin Mo's horizons.

He said it lightly, but in fact, because of his tossings, the court had already become violent, and they were arguing endlessly every day.

Yinzhi has already participated in the court meeting. The biggest impression of the court meeting is that everyone is good at arguing and acting. He can't tell who is loyal and who is traitor, let alone distinguish between friendly troops and friendly troops pretending to be enemies.

According to the second brother of the prince, courtiers will "digest themselves" among themselves, as long as they are given enough time, they will resolve conflicts internally.

If the conflict cannot be resolved, isn't Khan Ama still there?

Yinzhi didn't think there was anything wrong with what the prince said, as if it was normal for Khan Ama to wipe the prince's second brother's ass.

Yinzhen said: "Even if they are fake, those people are not easy to dismiss. If they want to drag you down, what can you do with them?"

Yinfeng said incredulously: "They came to drag Gu, Gu himself has legs, so he can't run? Could it be possible to stay where he is and wait for them to entangle him?"

Yinzhi sat at the table, looked at him with his hands on his cheeks and tilted his head: "How did you run away? The second brother is in the Forbidden City. It's not difficult to find you?"

"Of course it's a precipice to rein in the horse, take back all actions, pack up the burden and go back to Yuqing Palace." Yinreng can really do this, he is not lonely in Yuqing Palace, he has saved a lot from Xiaomei. Didn't watch the show!

All the benefits obtained by the court before that time will all disappear, and some of them are urgent.

Yinzhen said: "You plan to kill first and then play. It will be hard to explain when Khan Ama comes back."

"Of course Gu will take the formal route through the cabinet," Yinfeng said indifferently: "One person does things and one person is in charge. Since it has been decided to establish a Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Gu will dare to accept the consequences if there will be any scolding in the court."

The die-hards and conservatives have always been a troublesome group of people. If it were someone else, no one could have the confidence and confidence of the prince.

Yinzhen thought sourly: It's not because Khan Ama is in front of him.

He is also the son of Khan Ama, but the prince is the closest.

The other sons were responsible for cleaning up the mess for Khan Ama, but the prince made Khan Ama hold his nose and clean up the mess for him.

Yinzhen is already in his sixties, so he will not admit that he is envious of the prince's unprincipled pampering by Khan Ama.It's just that when I think of my previous life occasionally, it's inevitable that I will feel sad.

The second waste prince dealt too much physical and mental blows to Huang Kao, and repeatedly tossed and tossed about it.

There is no son who can make Khan Ama "more sad than heart-death". These sons are just a foil between Khan Ama and the prince.

It's just that the prince in this life obviously doesn't "learn badly" like the previous life. Instead, because of the immortal professor, he learned well and started to innovate.

Yinzhen can easily think of the consequences of the crown prince's reputation being too great when Khan Ama grows old, and all the important things the prince wants to do cannot do without the support of power and wealth.

Yinzhen took a deep look at Yinreng, the eyes were meaningful, revealing a little bit of emotion: Khan Ama is a long-lived emperor, and it is impossible for the prince to be content to be under Khan Ama for the rest of his life.

Yinzhen thought that there would be a day when the relationship between the prince and Khan Ama and his son would come to an end, but he didn't know that Yinreng really wanted to spend his whole life under Khan Ama's warm wings.Even at the age of 40 or 50, Yinfeng will still be Han Ama's favorite big baby!

"When the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was established, Enke went to the foreign school to recruit people to become officials, and someone jumped out to reprimand Gu." Yinfeng cleared his throat, pretending to be old and stubborn, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness easily dismissed Enke, isn't it a challenge? The prestige of the imperial examinations makes those who pass the examinations in the non-serious imperial examinations lucky enough to enter the court and become officials. In the future, people will be lucky. Forgive me, where will traditional Confucianism be placed!"

Yinzhen was startled, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "You even thought of all this?"

"Ham, even San'er knows that Gu is always scolded in the court, and he has been trained to be thick-skinned long ago." Yinfeng rubbed the third younger brother with a smile.

Yinzhi squinted his eyes in enjoyment, and said with a smile: "Even my ministers can already predict what reasons they will object."

Yin Mo listened and suddenly relaxed.

Well, even the third child can predict it at such a young age, the prince is obviously well prepared, so there is no need to worry about it.

"It's just that you should be careful, don't be negligent and follow other people's ways." Yinzhenyou asked a few words worriedly.

Now the most vigilant person in the court is Nalan Mingzhu, of course, even in the previous life Yinti and the prince had a quarrel, the two fought endlessly, and Nalan Mingzhu was behind the shadow of giving advice to the boss.

Yinfeng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Gu likes to be scolded. It's better to be honest than dark."

Although he is not afraid of dark knives.

Not long after, Cao Zhen arrived at the Ministry of Rites, went to find the subordinates who were loyal to His Highness, and asked them to write a memorial and submit it to the cabinet, so that the matter could be cleared.

Originally, Yuzhu should be doing the job of passing on the message for His Royal Highness, but Yuzhu is not a scholar after all, and his memory and knowledge are not as good as Cao Zhen, so he can't keep up with the pace of his master.Compared with Cao Zhen, who knows everything and is almost a roundworm in the belly of His Royal Highness, Yuzhu is not so easy to use when passing on the government affairs of the court!

And Cao Zhen followed the crown prince in various ministries, and had already become familiar with all the adults.

After Sha Cheng heard this, he was still a little reluctant: The prince opened his mouth and wanted to take the Enke exam for foreign studies and establish a foreign ministry. Shouldn't the Ministry of Rites be handed over to others?

Kangxi is not in the capital, and the crown prince does not do whatever he wants.

In the cabinet, there were only six university scholars with the highest status. Among them, Lu Dehong went to the northern border, Wang Xi, Song Deyi, and Wu Zhengzhi were all neutral, and Nalan Mingzhu used to sing against Suo'etu.

Whenever there is a suggestion made by the prince, Suo'etu strives to ensure the implementation of the prince's decree. In the past, Nalan Mingzhu would speak out against it, and one of Wang Xi, Song Deyi, and Wu Zhengzhi pretended to object, and the other two reconciled. The implementation of the matter has become "to be discussed by the cabinet".

This time the crown prince wanted to set up the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but Nalan Mingzhu was dumb and honestly reduced his sense of existence. When Wang Xi tentatively asked, he actually pretended to be stupid!

What prompted Nalan Mingzhu to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so rare to be confused?

What made him ignore the provocation of his old opponent Suo'etu, and instead calmly maintain his health?

Naturally, it is because the newly established minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is his precious son Nalan Xingde!

Most of the foreign language talents in the court were trained by Nalan Xingde, and he had practiced in the Ministry of Rites for a long time, so he was familiar with clerical work and foreign affairs, and accumulated rich experience.

The prince proposed to establish a Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the newly established department needs a chief executive. According to the previous experience of the Ministry of Culture, the new chief is the new minister.

Nalan Mingzhu woke up laughing in the middle of the night.

My son is only [-] years old, but he has the opportunity to become a minister. The future has a bright future!

As for Nalan Xingde's face turned dark immediately when he heard about it, and he felt depressed. Nalan Mingzhu didn't take it seriously, and patted his son on the shoulder, telling him earnestly: This is a great opportunity to become a first-rank member, young Don't be afraid of suffering, don't be afraid of tiredness, the future is bright!

Nalan Xingde: ...

"Once the new department is established, don't Ama know how many important things need to be done?" He might be so busy that he would even sleep in the department courtyard in the middle of the night!

He originally thought that the prince's proposal was just a joke, and it would not be so easy to implement, but who knew that the transfer order was delivered to him within a few days.

Suo'etu helped the prince, but Nalan Mingzhu didn't do anything, and the other three Hanchens had no way of doing anything.In the past, there was a Lu Dehong who was born in the clan, and his words to stop it were quite effective.Now that Le Dehong went to the border to fight, among the three civil servants, Wang Xi and Wu Zhengzhi didn't say anything, but they were helping the prince physically.But Song Deyi neither helped nor opposed, and gave up persuading.

The six academicians passed the opening ceremony, so there was no need to discuss it in the cabinet. The prince's decision was directly passed in the cabinet.

On this day, Yinfeng was writing the plan for the next five years. The plan stated: the Portuguese have an exclusive route at the Cape of Good Hope, Spain occupies the Strait of Magellan, and after the establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they can send envoys to other countries. Hegemony may take advantage of the import expo, cooperate with other countries, and borrow the waterways of various countries to achieve a great situation of one-to-many in the Qing Dynasty.

He looked at the globe, and in his mind was the magnificent sea, yearning for it. While writing, he was in high spirits, unconsciously immersed in it.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness! The Emperor is back!——"

Cao Zhen yelled in his ear, and managed to get his attention back.

Yinfeng asked with a blank face: "So fast? It shouldn't be, didn't you say you will come back next month?!"

"Hurry up and change your clothes and go to the outskirts of the capital to meet the emperor," Cao Zhen said eagerly, "The emperor hastened his return journey suddenly, don't rush back to reprimand you after hearing that you have established a foreign ministry?

"No, the Ministry of Rites has the functions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After the expansion, it will become a department of its own. Besides, people in the Qing Dynasty learn foreign studies and then send people abroad. These people have already said Tonghan Ama. , he knew it earlier, so how could he be angry about it? He would only be angry about things he didn't know..."

Yinfeng's voice weakened, and his eyes were dull: Ah, what Khan Ama didn't know was the fact that jade wares made a lot of money and sent them to the state treasury?

He comforted himself: the accounts in Yuqing Palace have been balanced, and the cost has been recovered, so there shouldn't be any problems.

The 900 million taels of silver sent to the national treasury have already figured out how to spend it, and most of it will be used to establish the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, build large ships, and go overseas in the future.

While Yinreng comforted himself, he couldn't help feeling guilty again.

[Big friend, one person is responsible for doing things alone, if you dare to do something, you must dare to accept the consequences! 】
