[Qing wear + Red Mansions] Guide to the Prince's Pampering Wife

Yinzuo frowned, why did the prince get involved again?

Ling Puyinzuo knew that now he was the chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and because he was the husband of the prince's nurse, he got along like a fish in water, and he was also regarded as an important member of the princeling party. Now that something happened to him, the prince might also be implicated.

Yin Zuo would not believe the one-sided words of the head of the Royal Pharmacy, so he asked him to look at the account book first.

The manager of the imperial pharmacy was scared out of his wits, so Yinzuo did whatever he wanted, so he obediently brought the account book and explained it to Yinzuo in detail.

Yin Zuo discovered that Ling Pu was greedy for more than this. Since he took office, the prices of other medicinal materials have also been rising steadily. For example, the most common licorice only costs a few tens of pennies per catty outside, but the price recently recorded is as high as Five coins a catty!

Yin Zuo sneered: "The price is ten times as high as changing hands. I have never seen such a precious licorice!"

Fortunately, Ling Pu still had some brains. He didn't dare to tamper with the medicinal materials used in the palace. He only raised the price. This time, the medicinal materials sent to Shaanxi were detected as soon as they arrived. After all, no one was killed, otherwise the consequences would be more serious.

But it doesn't mean that his crime is light. After all, he really sent inferior medicinal materials to Shaanxi. The problem is that the fourth elder brother discovered it early, otherwise the consequences would be terrible.

Yin Zuo really couldn't tolerate such a frenzied person, so after thinking about it, he brought someone to bring evidence to the prince to file a complaint.

The prince quietly listened to Yin Zuo's righteous indignation and counted Ling Pu's crimes in detail: "...he has only been in office for two years, and he has embezzled tens of thousands of taels of ink just in the imperial pharmacy! There are so many yamen in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I don't know how much his family's property can cover the national treasury now It’s nothing more than being greedy, he should also know what to be greedy and what not to be greedy, and he dares to take money for disaster relief into his own pocket! Second brother, you and Han Ama have worked so hard for the disaster in Shaanxi, don’t you know that you have fattened him up? Moth! He dared to disregard the life and death of so many people, who knows what else he can do in the future, the second brother must be severely punished!"

After finishing speaking, Yinzuo sighed in his heart, is he going against the prince?

Last time, it was found that Suo'etu was intercepting the tribute. In the end, Suo'etu was dismissed from the position of Minister of the Guards, and he has not recovered yet.Now Ling Pu might not be able to keep it, and it would be a serious blow to the princelings. If he were a prince, he would feel that he was a black fan.

Seeing the prince's calm expression, Yin Zuo didn't know if he was examining himself now, so he couldn't help but feel a little helpless. He agreed to keep a low profile, but in the end he was still the first bird.

But Yin Zuo didn't regret it either, Ling Pu, a scumbag like him, counted as one, even if he really fell into the prince's grievance notebook, he would accept his fate.

Yinzuo felt uneasy, but the prince is not a person who doesn't know right from wrong, but just angry with Ling Pu.He didn't have a mother since he was a child, so he was very close to his nurse, and later he was willing to promote Ling Pu, but he didn't expect the other party to repay him like this!

Now that the prince has learned from Kangxi, he is more and more indifferent to emotions and anger. Even if he is very angry in his heart, the surface is only faint. Seeing that Yinzuo is a little panicked, he comforts him with a smile: "Thank you and fourth brother for this, if you didn't find out He also told me in private first that he was afraid that I would also be implicated by Ling Pu, and I will keep this affection in mind."

Yin Zuo heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but respect the prince even more, such a clear distinction between right and wrong, and his heart-pounding attitude is really frustrating!

Now that the prince expressed his position, Yinzuo only left the matter to the prince to solve, but he didn't ignore it completely. After all, this matter was of great importance, and Yinzuo was still very concerned.

The prince moved very fast. Not long after Yin Zuo left, he took people to the House of Internal Affairs to check the accounts. Ling Pu was unprepared, and a lot of things were found out. In addition to corruption and bribery, he also persecuted palace officials and even treated unfavored concubines harshly. The piles of piles are simply too numerous to describe.

It was heard that Ling Pu and his wife took turns interceding, and the crown prince's nipple was broken, but the crown prince showed no mercy, and handed over all the criminal evidence found to Kangxi.Ling Pu and his henchmen were quickly dismissed and sent to prison, and they could be sentenced only after interrogation.Not to mention ransacking his family and beheading him for his crimes, but exile is indispensable.

Yinzuo was very happy to hear that.

And the prince's iron-blooded methods also frightened the House of Internal Affairs. They used to take care of the big and small things in the palace, relying on the power in their hands and the trust of the master, they have always been arrogant and arrogant, and now they have been rectified. Quite a lot, and now they are all conscientious in their errands, not to mention the low-level maids and eunuchs, even some unfavorable concubines have a much better life. Because of this righteous killing of relatives, not only did the prince not be burdened by Ling Pu's reputation, but he became more and more popular. up.

But Suo'etu was so angry that he jumped in Yuqing Palace: "It doesn't matter if you deal with Ling Pu, but do you know how many people you will offend? If your subordinates can't get protection, who will dare to work for us in the future? You are not breaking your own way ?"

The prince frowned: "You still don't understand, I want people to serve the court and the people, not to form a party for personal gain! If anyone joins my sect in order to find a blessing so that they can embezzle and bribe the common people, then he is wrong." It’s time to figure it out! I don’t need such people, and I won’t protect them, if I catch their pigtails, I will personally deal with them, understand?”

The prince didn't understand this truth before, but now he has some insights.

There is a saying that is not rough but not rough - the ass determines the head!If he wants to become a good emperor in the future, he should think about how to govern the country if he is an emperor, and what he hopes his prince will look like.You can't just consider the interests of small groups from your own standpoint, otherwise you will deviate from the expectations of Khan Ama and the court people!

A qualified prince must never stand on the opposite side of the emperor and the people, otherwise he will be in danger!Only when the interests of the court, the people and Khan Amah are put before their own interests can they truly benefit.

But Suo'etu obviously didn't understand this truth.Or maybe it's not that he doesn't understand, it's just that doing so is in the interests of the prince, but not in Suo'etu's own interests.

The prince didn't want to talk more with Suo'etu, so he just said lightly: "This matter is a foregone conclusion, you don't need to say more, if you have free time, think about how to act in the future."

If Suo'etu really fails, he can only be replaced. Anyway, there are many people who are willing to work for the prince wholeheartedly, so Suo'etu may not be the only one.

Suo'etu held his breath and left Yuqing Palace. After thinking about it, he was still not reconciled, so he tried to meet Hesheli.

When Suo'etu arrived at Chuxiu Palace, the fifteenth prince was crying, and Hesheli was coaxing him, so he had no time to worry about Suo'etu.Suo'etu looked at it for a while, and frowned involuntarily: "Now that you have your own child, have you forgotten why your family sent you into the palace?"

"I know, my uncle told me to get close to the prince, and I must make the prince and the Hesheli family one mind." Hesheli said.

"Just remember!" Suo'etu said, "Your relationship with the prince is not as good as before. It's time to send some food and clothes over from time to time. You are his aunt, and he will always give you some face."

He frowned: "Now he is getting closer to brother six, but he doesn't listen to me anymore, you can persuade him for me."

"Uncle is too worried, the crown prince is closest to you, how could he alienate you? I guess it's just a misunderstanding." Hesheli didn't answer his words.

Suo'etu frowned: "You don't want to?"

"It's not for me to decide," Hershey said with a faint smile, "The prince has always been smart and has his own opinions. Even though I am an aunt, I can't shake his mind. I'm afraid my uncle may have found the wrong person."

Suo'etu sneered: "Your wings are stiff, do you think you can fly by yourself?"

Hershey looked at her coaxed son, who was sitting in the cradle and giggling.

Xiao Shiwu was born weak, and the former imperial doctor diagnosed that she would not live for three months, so she did not give up and begged the sixth elder brother.

Not to mention how much love she has received from the sixth elder brother, but now fifteen's body is still leaning on the sixth elder brother, how could she be against him?

But my uncle didn't care about it, he didn't even say a word of greeting, and he didn't care whether she would be embarrassed or not, so he made the request so righteously.Could it be that in his heart only the prince is the nephew and grandson, isn't her fifteenth?

The Hesheli family didn't hate the prince, but felt cold because of Suo'etu's actions.It doesn't matter if her wings are hard or not, but in the eyes of her uncle, the crown prince and the power and status are better than her and Fifteen, but in her heart, Fifteen is everything, so what if her wings are broken for Fifteen?

Hesheli didn't have the heart or the ability, so he rejected Suo'etu's request.

Suo'etu finally left Chuxiu Palace with a livid face, and the prince just nodded slightly after hearing about it.

The matter of Ling Pu was handed over to Kangxi, but the prince had other things to do. After the matter of Suo'etu and Ling Pu, he found that he didn't know enough about the people around him.

Perhaps because many people grew up with him, the prince would not easily doubt the people around him, but they had problems one after another, which made him startled and painful.

In the past, he always felt that Khan Amma was overly suspicious, and occasionally he would be heartbroken when he was suspected, but now he began to understand his helplessness.

Since the prince became suspicious of his own people, he had to investigate them one by one.This investigation is really great, but there is a lot of filth in Yuqing Palace!

Corruption and extortion are trivial matters, and it is not uncommon to form cliques. It was even found out that a young eunuch had secretly hidden aphrodisiacs, and he didn't know what he planned to do.

The crown prince didn't bother to listen to their arguments. As long as the evidence was convincing, it would be sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Department of Punishment, or sent to the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple. It was cleaned up.After this incident, Yuqing Palace became more and more clean.

This month has really not been a happy one, with bad news one after another, even if there are no bad consequences, it will inevitably make people feel bad.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the month, there will be some good news.

One is that it finally rained in Shaanxi!The drought has been eased, the fourth elder brother's disaster relief work is progressing well, and the epidemic that Yin Zuo has been worried about has not broken out on a large scale. Now every household in Shaanxi has planted golden potatoes.

The second good news is: the potatoes are grown!

On the day when the potatoes were harvested, Kangxi brought several important ministers to work together as usual. The gray-bearded old men couldn't help crying when they saw the mountains of potatoes, which were not inferior to the golden potatoes, and some people knelt down and kowtowed. Stop thanking 'Heaven's pity' and sigh 'Emperor Shengming'!

Kangxi was moved by his loyalty, and he helped him up to talk, and the relationship between the monarch and his ministers was immediately sublimated.

Yin Zuo and the fifth elder brother looked at each other, both a little speechless: These veterans are good actors!

The actor is the real actor, and the excitement is also the real excitement.

First came the golden potato and then the potato. Daqing saw that the whole people could have enough food, get rid of poverty and become prosperous, how could it not be exciting!

Because of this achievement, Kangxi said on the spot that he would seal the fifth elder brother as Baylor, and when the fourth elder brother came back, he would make an official decree together.

As for Yinzuo... Kangxi looked at Yinzuo hesitantly. It stands to reason that he has some credit for both Tudou and disaster relief, and the sum is not too small.

Yin Zuo waved his hands frantically: "No, no, don't give me a title, and don't reward me with things. It's still useful for me to accumulate credit! If you want to reward me, I'm in a hurry with you!"

Kangxi: "..."

All the ministers: "..."

Kangxi snorted softly: "You think so beautifully, but you still want to be the county king based on your current achievements?"

In fact, it is not impossible, but if the county king is sealed now, should Yinzuo open the mansion and leave the palace in the future?Seeing that he will make great achievements in the future, should he be banned then?In this way, this is sealed and that is also sealed. How can the new emperor be kind?

Therefore, Kangxi followed Yinzuo's intention and skipped his reward. Yinzuo had no opinion at all and was very happy.

The fifth elder brother was also happy, but what made them even more happy and looking forward to was: the chili is also cooked!

Brother No. [-] and Brother No. [-] stared at the peppers almost every day, and even picked half of them before they all turned red. The chili seeds were dug out and used as seeds, and the peppers were dried as a hot pot base.

Thanks to the hot weather, they ate hot pot the next day. This time, they harvested more peppers and fried a lot of hot pot bottom ingredients. They gave it to the elders and the brothers who came to inquire about the hot pot bottom ingredients from time to time. Each of the sisters sent some over, and the Forbidden City was filled with the smell of butter hot pot for the next few days.

A few days later, the elder brother returned to the palace, and ran to Yin Zuo before it was time for dinner, and said: "I heard that you made something delicious in the western suburbs, and it was said to be fragrant and spicy. Taste, I've come to you for a while, I walked around the palace today, I can smell that smell everywhere, it's really attractive!"

Yinzuo asked strangely: "Didn't I send you the bottom material? You can eat it in the military camp or in your own palace. You can cook this thing in a stove, and you don't need a stove."

"There are a bunch of wolf cubs in the military camp, and there's not enough food for them to grab. I can't do it in the palace. Fujin is pregnant and can't eat this, so I won't be greedy for her!"

Yinzuo gave a thumbs up: "Brother loves sister-in-law so much, what a man!"

"Love Fujin is a real man, why don't you say it when I teach you how to practice?" Eldest brother asked with squinting eyes.

Yin Zuo: "... eat and eat."

He didn't mind letting the eldest brother wait for a meal, and it happened that he himself wanted to eat hot pot, and the ingredients were all ready, but it was just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks.

For a while, the palace people brought all the things up, and Yinzuo and eldest elder brother didn't need to be waited on. They rolled up their sleeves and cooked the meat by themselves. A few mouthfuls of meat were served with a mouthful of iced sour plum soup.

Eldest brother has always been a serious eater, he didn't even have a process of adaptation, and he ate very satisfyingly: "Since Fujin became pregnant, I ate lightly when I returned to the palace, and the food in the military camp was even worse. I haven't eaten so refreshingly for a long time!"

Yin Zuo chuckled: "Why are you back? Has there been any progress in the barracks?"

Eldest brother nodded: "The other ones are not so fast, but the improvement of Liannu has been quite effective. I just watched it with Khan Ama, and Khan Ama also said it was good."

Speaking of this, he is quite proud of it. A continuous crossbow is also a continuous crossbow. It can fire dozens of bows and arrows one after another. The range is not bad, but due to the limitation of craftsmanship, its elasticity is limited. That's all, it's not enough to use it on the battlefield. In many cases, it can't even pierce the enemy's armor. Even if it hurts people, it is blocked by the armor. Poison, or the ability to kill the enemy by shooting at vital parts that are not protected by armor, sounds very powerful, but it is actually tasteless.

I heard that the Zhuge Liannu created by Zhuge Kongming during the Three Kingdoms period is infinitely powerful, and my elder brother has always yearned for it.However, the craftsmanship of Zhuge Liannu has been lost for a long time, and the big brother asked the Ministry of Industry to study it for a long time. A lot of money was spent, and the fart was never made.

This time, he invited missionaries and the Ministry of Industry to study together on a whim, but he did not expect to develop a powerful crossbow, which is not only extremely powerful, but also has a longer range, so he is very happy.

He was so happy that he cooked another plate of mutton.

Yinzuo was also happy for him, raised his cup and said, "Let's drink plum soup instead of wine, and finish this cup!"

The elder brother laughed, clinked glasses with him and drank it all down. He said with a smile: "You are not young anymore, it's time to drink some wine. I will teach you later!"

Yinzuo: "...No need to teach, can you still know how to drink, I just don't want to drink."

The eldest brother smiled ambiguously: "You don't like wine, do you like beauties?"

"..." Yinzuo, "I don't like it either."

"Then what do you like?" Eldest brother asked, "He's such a freshman, he doesn't have any hobbies, does he?"

"It's not that there are things that must be said..." Yinzuo chuckled, "...I like money! If elder brother really wants to love younger brother, just give me money. The more the better, the better you come!"

Big Brother: ... Goodbye!

He has no money either!

The elder brother snorted and talked about something else: "Speaking of this Liannu, there is still a problem. You have always had a lot of ideas. Help me think of any solutions."

Yinzuo said he was all ears.

Eldest brother sighed: "It is supposed to be a good thing that this crossbow has a longer range, but things that are too far away can't be seen clearly by the human eye, so the accuracy is somewhat lacking. I tried it a few times in the barracks, and it may not be possible to hit one out of ten arrows." Two arrows, but if you only shoot something closer, I feel sorry for such a strong crossbow."

Yinzuo's heart moved, let alone, he really has a way!

In fact, this problem has been solved long ago in later generations. Isn’t the scope on the sniper rifles of later generations just for this purpose?Yinzuo remembers that the first generation scope was a simple monocular, but now there are binoculars!

Yin Zuo explained the general principle to the big brother in detail, and the big brother was very excited when he heard it.But soon he couldn't laugh anymore, and a sad look appeared on his face.

Binoculars - it's also very expensive!

The elder brother sighed in poverty.

Yinzuo, who was also poor, looked at him contemptuously: "Stupid, isn't it? Khan Ama has several binoculars in his hand, so just pick them up and use them first. If the Liannu experiment is successful, worry that he won't give you money to buy them." A telescope?"

Big brother's eyes lit up, he pulled Yinzuo and left: "Go, go, big brother is not good at this, it's all up to you."

Yinzuo: "..."

According to his understanding, the 'this matter' mentioned by the elder brother must refer to the scope, not to cheat Kangxi, right?

Although he was used as a tool man, Yin Zuo was also very interested in the scope, so he picked out the telescope from Kangxi seriously, and then spent several days in the school field with the elder brother to study.

It is not difficult to fix the telescope to the crossbow. The difficulty is to adjust the firing angle after installing the scope. After all, the human field of vision is provided by the telescope, and the arrow and the telescope are not in a straight line. Very different.

The elder brother is ready to spend a long time adjusting the feel. He took the crossbow and loaded the arrows, and then tried to shoot one arrow after another.

Yinzuo watched from the side, his eyebrows slowly wrinkled. The big brother is indeed very serious, and he is also working hard to adjust, but this progress is too slow, and the box of arrows is almost used up. I haven't touched the target yet.

When will this be adjusted?

Yinzuo: "...I'll do it."

The elder brother snorted angrily at his parent's helpless attitude in watching the child's homework: "Then tell me to see your skills."

The eldest brother handed the Liannu to Yinzuo, while he stood aside with his chest folded. Unexpectedly, Yinzuo took the Liannu but didn't shoot the arrow. Instead, he took out an arrow from the arrow box to write and draw on the ground.

Big brother: "...what are you doing?"

Yin Zuo said: "It's time to show your true strength!"

Why was he still so good when he often evaded training in the past?First, he has a steady hand, second, he has good eyesight, but the most important thing is that he has good skills.

Of course there are skills in archery, how about parabola?

The trajectory of the arrow is regular. In theory, as long as the height difference and distance between the arrow and the target can be judged, it can be calculated at what angle the arrow can hit the target.Usually the so-called feel of an archer is that practice makes perfect after practicing a lot of arrows, so one can judge the angle without calculation, but this kind of feel must be studied hard, and once the archery habit is changed, it will be easily invalidated.

Big Brother is an example.

But Yin Zuo has no such patience.

He drew a few lines and points on the ground, and then asked Big Brother: "Can you tell how far it is from here to the target?"

The elder brother nodded and announced a number, Yin Zuo marked it, and asked about the height of the bull's-eye and the information of the arrow, and then concentrated on writing and drawing.Big brother looked at those ghostly symbols on the ground, his head was full of question marks, and was about to ask what happened, when Yin Zuo stopped.

Immediately afterwards Yinzuo picked up the crossbow and pointed it at the target, adjusted the angle and pressed the switch, and with a "swish", the arrow shot out through the air and hit the target!

The elder brother opened his eyes wide in surprise, before he could react, Yinzuo slightly adjusted the angle, and there was another "whoosh" sound——

Hit the bullseye!

Big brother: "!!!"

"How could this be?" Eldest brother began to doubt life.

Yinzuo is serious: "There is a saying that is very good, and I encourage my elder brother."

Big Brother looked serious: "What?"

Yin Zuo: "Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid to travel all over the world!"
