History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

After finishing the company affairs, Hongkyung returned to Hongshi's residence.

Not long after, the dark guard who had arranged to send a message also came back.

"...that is the elder brother's daughter, a posthumous child. After she was born, she was picked up by Wu Ge's mother from her hometown and ordered to be raised by Wu Ge's wife. The subordinates did not find out how she knew about the Lord. "

Hong Kyung nodded, but she was just a woman, and if she didn't find out, she didn't find out, maybe it was just a coincidence, and he didn't take it to heart.

After this matter was over, Hong Kyung thought of another matter, "When will the ball game that the fourth elder brother prepares start?"

Hong Shi had mentioned this matter to him before, but Hong Kyung didn't take it to heart and forgot it after hearing it.

Hong Kyung wanted to go back to the garden, so he had to say goodbye to Hong Shi, but he was so busy that he didn't come back, so he remembered that Hong Shi was preparing for the game during this time.

The hidden guard replied: "As for Master Hui, the fourth elder brother has been begging for money in the past few days, and he can only come back very late every day."

After hearing this, Hong Kyung stood up and flicked the corner of his jersey and said, "If that's the case, then don't wait for him."

As a result, Hong Jing went back to the garden, only to hear that Hong Shi had made an alms in front of his mother.

"An'erniang, I will save the advertisement for the host team this time. Don't you know that when the advertisement space comes out this time, there are many merchants waving coins in their hands and wanting to join in, but I don't know any of them No, I will save this for you, everyone, this time I only charge 5 yuan for the advertising space, if you agree to this space, you will take it away."

When Hongkyung heard the voice and stepped into the door, he heard himself say with a smile in his mother's voice, "You leave this advertisement to others, and I can't take advantage of you." Compared to typing once in a newspaper The advertising fee only needs a few thousand yuan, and the advertising fee of 5 yuan is indeed a lot.

Although these are banknotes, they are linked to copper coins and gold and silver.

With 5 yuan in banknotes, you can buy a big house in the outer city, and you can eat and drink for several years with the rest.

"No, no, no, this price is for my son's filial piety to you, and it is definitely not your advantage to his son." Hong Shi's voice suddenly became tense.

"Forget it, I don't have much business. If I need to advertise, I should leave the position to others." Hong Jing probably heard that Er Niang was teasing Hong, so he stood in front of the curtain of the outer room and listened like this Listen to the movement inside.

Hongshi couldn't hold back at this time, and said to Minning with an aggrieved face, "Ms. An'er, my son came here to ask for help."

Talking about all the difficulties he encountered, Barabara said, "It's too late for my son to think about the advertising space. Now the competition is about to start, and it takes only two days to find someone who is willing to accept this advertisement. Son can't do anything this time, why don't you come here to beg An'er Niang?"

"Okay, you, Hongshi, are really dishonest. When you encounter difficulties, just say it, why do you have to make such a big circle?"

Inside, Hongshi probably thought Eniang was angry, and apologized sincerely, "Son, I didn't mean to hide An'eniang from you, son, son thought..." Hongshi fell silent, he really couldn't say the rest.

Even if he couldn't say it out, both Minning inside and Hongkyung outside knew what he meant.

Hongshi just didn't give up, and always wanted to get some money by relying on his cleverness, but he didn't expect to be exposed directly, so it's hard to say such a thing.

At this moment, Hong Kyung opened the curtain and walked in.

Hongshi turned his head, his eyes lit up, "Third Brother!"

Minning also wondered that he would see his son at this time, "Didn't you say you would stay in the imperial city for a few days?"

"Son pays respects to Er Niang." Hong Kyung replied to her after paying his respects, "The matter has not been delayed for a long time, and my son has already finished."

Minning nodded, looked at Hong Kyung, then at Hong Shi, and finally set his mind on Hong Kyung, "Hong Shi, I remember that your third brother still has a few shops in his hand, why don't you three Brother help you this time."

Hongshi immediately murmured in his heart that his third brother was not as rich as An'er Niang, but he murmured, the mother and son were both very rich in his eyes, since he couldn't catch a big fish, he would take a bite if he caught a small fish also.

Hong Kyung looked at E Niang helplessly, how much can he earn from that small business?Together, it is not enough to pay [-] in advertising fees, which is to push the trouble on him.

Looking into Hong Shi's shining eyes, Hong Kyung could only accept this matter.

Even if this can't afford an advertising fee, he can rely on his own influence to help Hongshi get an advertising fee of 5 yuan.

The reason why Minning pushed this matter to him was not that she didn't care about it, but that if such a trivial matter bothered her, more departments would be involved. After all, if she gave a single password, many departments would have to run in circles. So many people are involved in a small matter, so it is appropriate to leave this matter to Hong Kyung.

After sending Hongshi away first, Minning looked at her son who was already a head taller than her, "How are things in the capital going?"

Hong Kyung replied, "It's almost done."

Minning nodded, "I called you back this time to tell you about a marriage. Since you didn't like it, I will put it aside and let you, Ama, take your time to find out. If you There is nothing to do in the capital, so go back as soon as possible.” The transformation of the steel plant is imperative, and it is almost thawed now, and work such as laying tracks has to be carried out, which means that in the next few months, various places will have to face The problem of steel scarcity.

The sooner the transformation is completed, the sooner the steel can be supplied in large quantities.

Hong Kyung lowered his head in response.

After Hong Kyung left the door, he heard Hong Shi's voice, he raised his head and found Hong Shi lying in front of the door and waving at him.

Hong Kyung walked over, Hong Shi had a flattering smile on his face, rubbed his hands together and said, "Third brother, I am in urgent need of money, you look at the advertising fee..."

Seeing his appearance, Hong Kyung couldn't help laughing, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, go back to the city with third brother, I promise you will take care of this matter."

Hong Shi immediately burst into joy, and cupped his hands towards Hong Kyung, as if he had honey in his mouth, "Then my brother would like to thank the third brother."

After all, Hong Jing didn't stay in the capital for long. After finishing Hongshi's affairs, he left Beijing. After leaving Beijing, he disappeared without a trace. No one knows where he went?

In fact, Hong Kyung changed his identity and took the train from Tianjin to Shengjing. In Shengjing, he became the heir of a business family. His family opened a steel factory and bought iron ore from the imperial court to make steel.

Generally, people who open a steel factory have their own means. Can they buy iron ore from the imperial court without means?Without personal connections in hand, can the steel plant operate steadily?

Once this identity is revealed, it can more or less frighten people. No one knows how huge the network of people is behind the large and small steel factories in the Qing Dynasty.

When Hongkyung arrived in Shengjing, after getting off the train, he didn't even take a break, and went directly to the steel factory.

As soon as I arrived at the steel factory, I found the previous craftsman who improved the craftsmanship.

Hearing that Hong Kyung said that he would use money to buy this handicraft, the craftsman was suddenly excited. It was like a sudden fall from the sky. Such a large sum of money is enough to cost his family a lifetime.

If this doesn't excite him?

Hong Kyung also told him to continue researching, and if this craft can continue to be improved, there will still be rewards.

The craftsman cheered up all of a sudden, patted his chest, and assured Hong Jing, "Young master, don't worry, Lao Liu will definitely continue to study this thing."

Hong Kyung nodded in relief.

After the craftsman left happily, he called someone to spread the news secretly.

Hong Kyung felt that it was not enough to rely on only one craftsman to study, and he did not know how long he would have to wait.

If this news spreads out and Lao Liu gets so much money all at once, it turns out that those craftsmen have to research and improve methods like crazy, only a little improvement, but if this point is extended to the entire steel plant in the Qing Dynasty, This point can also be aggregated into a huge scale.

Hong Jing was improving the steel in Shengjing, and the news quickly reached Minning's ears, she nodded slightly, and left this matter to Hong Jing for the time being, presumably he would not disappoint her expectations.

Then Minning turned his gaze to the harem. Concubine Qi had already named several beautiful women, and finally confirmed one person and informed Fourth Master.

Fourth master took his name and told Minning.

Only then did Minning know that the candidate for Hongyun Fujin had been decided.

"As the eldest daughter, Zhao Jia has always been able to take care of her younger siblings at home. Hong Yun is not in good health and needs constant care. I think Zhao Jia is good." The fourth master is also very satisfied with the candidates chosen by Concubine Qi.

The best candidate in his mind is Zhao Jiashi.

To be honest, the reason why the fourth master is optimistic about Zhao Jia is also because of Shisan's younger siblings. The relationship between Shisan and Zhao Jia was not good at the beginning. When Shisan encountered a trough, Zhao Jia has been with him. It got better.

From this, the fourth master had a good impression of the Zhaojia family, and he hoped that his son could also be taken care of by someone wholeheartedly like Thirteen.

Minning didn't say anything about Fourth Master's choice, and then asked Fourth Master about the marriages of the other younger brothers.

After all, this time, it's not just fourth master's own children, but also fourth master's younger brothers, who are also at the age of marriage.

The Supreme Emperor doesn't care about things now, and the young son is thrown to the fourth master to be raised. If the fourth master has time, he can only send it to the Boys' Academy like Hongshi.

The little prince, who was a bit timid at first, became more cheerful because of the company of his peers.

When I went to see the Supreme Emperor during the Chinese New Year, the Supreme Emperor took the test and was quite satisfied, and then he didn't care about it.

Didn't see that this time, he didn't even ask about his son's marriage and let the fourth master decide?

The fourth master replied, "The marriage of Seventeen and Twenty has been decided. After the Chinese New Year mansion is built, they will be ordered to get married and start the mansion."

Hearing these two numbers, Minning couldn't help sighing. The Supreme Emperor can really be born. Even if he abdicates, he will still be born in Changchun Garden. The year before last, he added a younger brother to Fourth Master. Fortunately, this should be the last one. One bit away.

Hongyun's marriage was settled like this, and Minning remembered that Er Gege also got married this year.

Counting in this way, there are quite a lot of happy events in the family, and Hong Kyung's marriage can be postponed further.

"Hongshi gave me some tickets, Lord, if you have spare time, go to watch a football game with me."

Minning suddenly remembered the few front doors that Hongshi brought over yesterday.

The fourth master frowned and said, "Hongshi can't go on doing nothing like this anymore, I plan to prepare some errands for him."

After hearing this, Minning said with a little displeasure: "I think the stadium he runs is quite good, how can this be regarded as not doing business properly?"

The fourth master said coldly: "All my thoughts are spent on making money, so I should give him a curse." As a prince, the last thing that should be valued is money, but this son has learned from Lao Jiu Signs, how can this not make fourth master feel angry.

If Minning doesn't help his forehead, he can only let Hongshi take care of himself, so that he can withstand his Ama's torture.

At the beginning of March, the entire capital city was swamped by several ball games, and this newspaper was all about it.This aroused the curiosity of many people, who spent a few dollars to buy a ticket.

It is very exciting to watch a football game on a stadium full of people and shout together.

Just because of the people who were mobilized this time, many people fell in love with the activity of playing football, and many people also began to pay attention to the football game on weekdays.

Coupled with the official permission of the stadium, gambling can be carried out, which has led to many gamblers gathering here.

Occasionally, it can also drive ordinary viewers to buy a gambling ticket. Even if they win a small prize, it is enough to win back the money for the ticket.

The liveliness of the ball game even spread to the two royal gardens outside the imperial city. Even the Supreme Emperor was attracted to it, and quietly ordered people to pass news of the game to him from time to time.

When Fourth Master heard the news, he couldn't help but have black lines on his face. He didn't expect that the gadget that Hongshi made would alarm the Supreme Emperor.

Thinking of this, Fourth Master, who was about to attack the stadium, decided to postpone the action when he came back.

The game has been held for half a month, and it was only transferred to Tianjin for the second half after half a month.

With the transfer of the game, the capital returned to calm.

Minning was busy with the news from Yili. It was said that several iron ore mines had been found, but the people sent to explore the mines had conflicts with the local chieftains, and some even refused to visit their sites.

Minning frowned. These chieftains were all conferred by the imperial court, just like Zhao'an, to appease the local aborigines. Did they really think that these territories belonged to the chieftains?

Thinking of this, Minning quickly sent a message, telling these prospectors to ensure their own safety, and then informed Fourth Master about it.

After reading the letter, fourth master didn't show any expression on his face. He had heard about the situation in Yili for a long time.When the Supreme Emperor was in power, there were wars in the first few decades, and it has been calmer for more than ten years.

But during this period of time, there was no movement from Yili, and the court kept its eyes on Junggar, so naturally Yili was ignored.

Everyone in the imperial court knew that Yili was definitely going to move, and Junggar was just a lost dog now, so there was nothing to be afraid of.Now that the national power of the Qing Dynasty has become stronger than ever, the imperial court will never allow Yili to stay away.

Therefore, it is imperative to reform the land and return it to the people.

The chieftain had gone through several generations, and he probably regarded that piece of land as his own, so fourth master was not surprised by these people's attitudes towards outsiders.

"Ili's matter, the cabinet has already discussed, and plans to send the frontier minister to take over again. At that time, we will break the alliance of the chieftains and implement the reform of the land." It's been a few years, and fourth master naturally won't take it to heart.

Minning nodded and said, "That's good. Although most of the large land in Ili is dry land, it is very suitable for growing cotton, soybeans and corn. If such a large land is brought into the hands, at least it can be solved. some food."

Fourth Lord nodded.

Only when there is more land and more food can we feed such a larger population, and the population can be multiplied several times under the condition of possession.

Going to India to fight the British was a last resort.

Right now, the entire Qing Dynasty is full of industries waiting to be flourished, Fourth Master only wants to develop domestic ones first, and then sharpen his sword against those countries with bad intentions.

The next day was the fifteenth day of the third lunar month, and Minning was eating, listening to the maids beside her, telling what happened in the garden.

Hearing that Concubine Xiande was visiting relatives today, Minning stopped holding the chopsticks, she couldn't help being a little dazed, she didn't expect that the plot had already developed to this point.

Based on this calculation, the Jia Mansion should have reached its peak after Jia Yuanchun returned to the province, and then declined after that.

Minning didn't pay attention to the affairs of Jia's mansion. She thought that Jia's mansion still had Doro Gege, who was personally sealed by the fourth master, and she couldn't help but feel a little headache.

There is also the matter of Hongshi, and I don't know if this kid came on a whim or really fell in love with Lin Daiyu, no matter which aspect it is, she has to save Lin Daiyu's life first.

Minning recalled that he had promised one monk not to interfere with the Jia family's affairs, and this time he had no reason to intervene if he wanted to.

Fortunately, she has placed two foster nuns beside Lin Daiyu, at least with two nuns, Lin Daiyu should not suffer any disadvantage.

As for what will happen to Lin Daiyu in the end, Minning intends to set a fixed time to intervene when Baoyu and Baochai get married and Lin Daiyu dies.

This not only fulfilled the promise of the year, but also saved Lin Daiyu's life.

As for whether Hongshi really has thoughts about Lin Daiyu, Minning intends to say it later, if Hongshi is just a whim, she will order someone to send Lin Daiyu back to Yangzhou, so that she can live in Yangzhou with peace of mind.

After making some calculations, Minning took this matter to heart, and planned to send someone to monitor Jia's mansion later. She didn't have time to keep an eye on Rongguo mansion all the time.

A small island in the south of the Qing Dynasty was originally just a small fishing village, but in the Ming Dynasty, foreigners came ashore, and more and more foreigners came over, and now they have been occupied by foreigners.

One day, a boat came over. The boat was not very big, but it looked very gorgeous, and it went to the edge of the island.

It was found that the foreigners here were very rampant, pointing guns at the people on board, intending to rob, and the attendants on board became angry.

Fortunately, the owner of the ship stretched out his hand to stop the entourage, thus avoiding this time's fighting.

After abandoning the ship, a group of people went ashore. The middle-aged man surrounded by his followers couldn't help but look at the island. The entire island is full of Western buildings. If they didn't know that this place belonged to the Qing Dynasty, they would have thought it was a foreigner's country.

And the foreigners are very arrogant on this island, they feel like bandits.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but frowned, and said to the entourage beside him, "The local area belongs to the territory of my Qing Dynasty. It stands to reason that there should be officials. It looks more like foreigners are managing this island. You separate two people. Check it out and see what the officials are doing."

Immediately two attendants came out, cupped their hands and said, "It's the second master."

The second master brought the rest of his entourage into a nearby tavern. The owner of the bartender had the face of Daqing, and the group breathed a sigh of relief. After looking at the foreigners along the way, they finally saw a friendly face.

After entering the tavern, the entourage found an empty table and wiped the chairs, and let the second master sit down.

After the second master sat down, he called the owner of the tavern.

After ordering food and drinks, he handed over money and told the owner of the tavern, "My fellow, this is the first time we have come to the north, and we don't know much about the situation here. Can you tell us something?"

The owner of the tavern was quite kind, and after turning around and ordering the people in the kitchen to cook, he brought the wine to the table.After sitting down, he asked a group of people, "What do you want to ask?"

The entourage looked at the second master, and the second master asked the owner of the tavern, "I see that there are only foreigners on the street, and there are very few people from the Qing Dynasty, so I am a little curious."

The owner of the tavern said with no surprise on his face, "Our island was originally just a small fishing village. In the past few decades, there have been more and more foreigners, but the fact that there are more foreigners does not mean that the original fishermen on the island will Get rich. These fishermen need to go fishing in the daytime, so you can't see it."

The second master continued to ask, "What about the yamen on this island? When the population reaches a certain level, officials should be sent to manage it."

The owner of the tavern coughed and touched his hand. The second master was stunned for a moment and looked at the attendant next to him. The attendant immediately took out another piece of silver from his sleeve and threw it over.

The owner of the tavern quickly stuffed the silver into his bosom, and then said, "Our county magistrate is living a fairy life. Foreigners have a fetish called Fushou Gao, which can make people become immortals. Now our county The master is so happy that he doesn't want to leave, how can he care about these foreigners."

"Fushou cream?" The second brother frowned when he heard the name. If he remembered correctly, shouldn't Fushou cream be the same drug?There are also a small number of generations in the palace. When did the medicines make people immortal?

The second master was puzzled.

At this time, the chef prepared the dishes, and the owner of the tavern immediately got up to serve the dishes himself.

A group of people were about to leave after finishing their meal in the tavern. The owner of the tavern did not forget to remind them, "Don't mess with those foreigners. Now the whole island is managed by these foreigners. The county magistrate doesn't care. It's nothing. If you cause trouble, Mr. Yang will deal with it directly, and will not report it to Mr. County Magistrate at all."

Upon hearing this, Second Master was a little angry.

But looking at the foreigners all over the street outside, he also knew that now was not the time to argue with these people, so he suppressed his anger and waited for the two sent out to come back.

About half an hour later, the two people who were sent out came back in a hurry. After returning, they said in the ear of the second master with a look of shock.

After hearing this, the second master's expression was frightened, and he said quickly, "Hurry up and go back to the boat."

This boat was not just a small boat they parked on the shore, but a steamboat parked on the sea not far away.

Because the boat they drove over has been taken away by foreigners, they can only spend money on the beach to let fishermen send them back to the boat.

After boarding the ship, the steamer didn't stay here too long, and went directly to the East China Sea, bypassing many islands in the south.

The end of April was Hong Kyung's birthday, and Minning thought that his son was still outside, so he ordered someone to prepare a gift for him.

Fourth master also wrote a copybook and sent it over.

Minning couldn't help but pouted, and sent this calligraphy to post. Could it be that he wanted Hongjing not to forget to practice calligraphy?

The triplets did not forget their elder brother, and they took out the gadgets made in the handicraft class one after another, and gave them to Minning as gifts, and asked her to bring them to the third elder brother.

Minning was a little speechless, and received gifts from Hongshi and Hongyun one after another.

To be honest, compared with these gifts carefully prepared by Minning, they are nothing more than one day at a time.

What she gave were shares in several companies. Originally thinking that her son was growing up, she should have some private money in her hands, so she selected a few profitable companies and distributed part of the shares to him.

Of course, he doesn't own many shares, and he has no management rights for these companies, and only has a certain amount of dividends every year.

In May, all the beautiful girls in the palace were sent back except those who were married.

The palace also returned to calm.

In May, the weather started to be hot and dry. The Emperor Taishang couldn't stand the heat, so he was going to the Jehol Palace to escape the heat.

The palace must step up preparations for the Supreme Emperor's trip. Fourth Lord is not only busy with government affairs, but also busy with the Supreme Emperor's travels during this time. He has to intervene in detail one by one, which made him lose weight immediately visible to the naked eye.

Minning wanted to make up for him, but he couldn't drink Kuxia at all.

At this moment, news came from Tianjin that Prince Li had returned from Xiyang.

After hearing this, Fourth Master stood up on the spot, and said excitedly, "Okay, okay, Second Brother is finally back."

This time, Prince Li was sent there to find out the status of foreigners in the west. There was news about Prince Li two years ago, but there was no news after that. Fourth Master was always worried. This time, he came back safely. Naturally happy.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I will tell the Supreme Emperor myself." After finishing speaking, Fourth Master ran out.

Minning didn't pay attention and didn't stop him, and could only watch him run away.

After Si Ye went to Changchun Garden to tell the Taishanghuang the good news, the Taishanghuang was also very happy.

In the end, Prince Li was his most beloved son. Although he was raised badly later, he was disgusted by people in front of his eyes. Once he went out for several years and didn't come back, the Supreme Emperor began to miss him again.

At this time, when he heard his son came back, no matter what he said, the Supreme Emperor was very happy.

This joy made a decision to postpone the time to go to Rehe Palace.

Fourth Master was also happy, at least he didn't need to pile up all the things to do.

The Supreme Emperor is willing to postpone the time, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs can have more time to prepare the itinerary, which can reduce the chance of making mistakes in the busy schedule.

From Tianjin to the capital, now there is not only one waterway, the railway has been built to Tongzhou, and you can take the train directly from Tianjin to Tongzhou.

It was the first time for Prince Li and his subordinates to take a train. After getting on the train, they felt a little novel. When they left the Qing Dynasty, although they were building tracks everywhere, Tongtong was in Shengjing and Mongolia.

Unexpectedly, after returning this time, Tianjin can already lead to the capital.

The trains all go straight, so you don’t have to watch the road like a horse-drawn carriage. In addition, the speed has increased in the past two years. From Tianjin to Beijing, it used to take half a day, but now it only takes half a day to get there.

I got on the train in the afternoon and arrived in Tongzhou after four o'clock. There was a walking tractor with a carriage behind it in Tongzhou.

People nowadays have the most flexible brains. They use walking tractors to compete with horse-drawn carriages. The speed of tractors may not be comparable to that of horse-drawn carriages, but one thing about tractors is that the carriages are large enough to take dozens of people at a time. The price is lower than that of a horse-drawn carriage, which is an advantage that a horse-drawn carriage does not have.

Of course, Prince Li and the others didn't need to be greedy for the cheap, but they were a little curious about the tractor they had never seen before, so they gave up the carriage and hired a tractor instead.

The tractor is not bumpy at all when driving on the concrete ground, and the speed of the tractor is not too slow, which can be compared with a two-horse carriage.

Driving at the fastest speed, it took people from Tongzhou to the capital in three hours.

From a distance, you can see the conspicuous electric lights on the city wall of the capital. A row of electric lights stands on the city wall, and you can see the galaxy in a trance.

Now that there are lights, the city gates are not closed so early. If it was before, the city gates would be closed as soon as it got dark.

Tractors can enter the city, but only in the outer city. The inner city is full of nobles, and the rumbling sound of tractors can easily disturb the nobles. So after tractors appeared a few times, the inner city began to restrict tractors from entering.

So Prince Li was sent to Fucheng Gate. After handing over his ID card, the young general guarding the gate quickly invited him in respectfully.

Then a carriage was called and the man was sent away.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and when you opened the curtain of the car and looked out, you could see rows of street lights on both sides of the road.

Prince Li couldn't help sighing, "The changes in the capital are really great!" He even thought that if he came back later, would he not be able to recognize the changes?

Along the way, he kept looking at the scenery on both sides. After reaching the Prince's Mansion and the carriage stopped, Prince Li got out of the carriage with the support of his entourage.

Looking up again at the Prince's Mansion where he had lived for two years, Prince Li sighed again.

Only when I am outside do I know how homesick I am!

"Go and knock on the door!" Prince Li said to his followers.

The entourage immediately went to knock on the door.

The door was slowly opened, and the porter inside stretched out his head and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

At this moment, Prince Li stepped forward and said, "This prince is back, so hurry up and open the door!"

The concierge looked over here with the oil lamp in his hand, saw that familiar face, and immediately shouted behind him in surprise, "It's the lord, it's the lord who's back!"

Then the concierge quickly opened the door, and Prince Li could not help but smile, and strode into the door.

After entering the mansion, he saw the butler greet him and salute. Prince Li raised his hand and asked people to stand up. He saw that there were many bright lights in his mansion. The boat sailed for half a month along the coast of the East China Sea. Almost everyone who could You can see bright lights at the ports you call at, and Prince Li also knows that this light is promoted by the fourth child, and it is said that it is a thing called electricity that emits light.

Prince Li doesn't know what electricity is?However, he admired the fourth child very much. If he was in that position, he would definitely not promote such unknown things, and might even suppress them.It turned out that the fourth child was tolerant, not only not taboo, but also able to promote this kind of thing to the entire Qing Dynasty.

"Where's Fujin?" Prince Li found out that all the people who came to greet him were concubines, so he couldn't help but turned to ask the housekeeper.

Hearing this, the butler burst into tears, and immediately knelt down on the ground, "It's useless to be a slave. I didn't serve Fujin well. Fujin left two years ago..."

"Leaving?" Prince Li felt as if his head had been hit by a hammer, and he was stunned.

When he left, Fujin's health was not very good, but he did not expect that Fujin would leave not long after he left.

Prince Li was filled with guilt immediately. He respected Fujin more than he loved him. When he was young, he was a bit absurd, and the relationship with Fujin was not very good. Later, his crown prince was abolished one after another, which caused her to be implicated as well.

Being locked up in the palace a few years ago, the relationship between the two has dropped to a freezing point.

Later, when the fourth son ascended the throne and he was sent out of the palace, the relationship between the couple got closer.

Prince Keli never thought that Fujin would be ahead of her.

The housekeeper wiped his eyes, and continued, "Fu Jin's health has never been very good. He suffered from a cold in the winter of last year, and Fujin fell ill, and he passed away not long after."

Prince Li felt a little uncomfortable, and he was not in the mood to talk to his concubine and several grown sons, so he waved his hand to let him go back.

Prince Li turned around and went into Fujin's room. Fujin's room has changed a lot, most of the things are gone, only a few things that Fujin used to use are still placed in the room.

He turned his head and looked again, and finally came to the study.

"Tell me everything that happened in the capital in recent years."

The butler knelt down immediately, and told everything that happened in these years after Prince Li left.

Prince Li felt a little uncomfortable, "Is the imperial mama gone?"

The relationship between Prince Li and Empress Xiaohuizhang is not very deep, but he was a prince when he was a child, so he was naturally more favored than other princes.

He was deposed twice, and Empress Xiaohuizhang pleaded with Khan Ama for him, and he remembered this love.

It's just that I didn't expect that it would take so long to leave the Central Plains this time, and when I came back again, things were different.
