Chapter 226: 4 and 3's Two-Way Journey
There aren't too many fancy words or quotations from classics.
But the Eighth Prince was able to use the most plain words to organize sentences that could make people so angry that they were like Buddhas being born and two Buddhas ascending to heaven.
Yin Xuan, who had hurried over to read the manifesto after hearing the news, opened his mouth slightly and silently prayed for Tsewang Arabtan: "I hope that old guy has more self-control and doesn't get angry to death."
[Otherwise, the great credit for recovering the Western Regions would have to fall on the starling.]
[Well, it's not that I have any problem with Bage. It's just that he has always been unwilling to be mediocre. It's okay that he was full of ambition in the early days. Later, when Yongzheng ascended the throne and everything was settled, he was still very dissatisfied. If he had such a huge achievement, wouldn't he be even more excited?]
Yinxuan's chubby face was full of sorrow and worry.
[My brothers are all my brothers. I really don’t want any of them to have any accidents. And… when we gather sand together, we can make a tower. When we gather fingers together, we can make a fist. Unity is strength. How come my brothers don’t understand such a simple truth?]
Yes, Kangxi was also confused.
It is obvious that he and his second elder brother Fuquan and fifth younger brother Changning have always been helping each other and being friendly and respectful to each other. He has taught these rebellious sons a lot by example.
How come they followed the excellent template and ended up with such terrible results?
Princes: ...
I mean, is it possible that there is no excellent template? It is that the late emperor only loved Consort Dong E and only valued his first son. You, Uncle Prince Yu and Uncle Prince Gong are all poor little people who are not loved, so how can you keep each other warm?
The brothers can sum it up in one sentence: What is worrying is not the lack of wealth, but the inequality of wealth.
As an emperor and father, you cannot treat your sons equally. How can you expect your sons to love each other in the context of either being the emperor or being his subjects forever?
However, even though the princes knew the truth so well, none of them dared to tell Kangxi about it because they wanted to kill their old father.
After missing out on the all-important 'meat', they now only desperately hope to have a bowl of soup.
The eldest prince, who had served as deputy commander and had experience in leading troops, knelt down first and asked to lead the army to help Khan share his worries and expand the territory for the Qing Dynasty.
Thirteen, who had dreamed of becoming a general since childhood, quickly followed suit: "When I learned that Galzang had betrayed the country and had to kill him, I secretly swore in my heart that one day, I would take the head of Tsewang Arabtan, the mastermind behind the incident, and avenge my third sister."
"If Khan Amar does not send troops to fight, that's fine. But if you do, please think of your son."
Whether it is a general or a soldier.
Anyway, Thirteen's goal is to "avenge" his brother-in-law and support his sister. Everything else is secondary.
After making the matter clear, Kangxi had a serious talk with the prince.
All the grudges between the father and the father were gone and they were no longer on guard.
Kangxi certainly no longer took care of everything himself as he did before. He kept all power firmly in his own hands and did not allow anyone to interfere.
On the contrary, after knowing that he only had a few years left to live, he became even more extreme in his emphasis on quality of life.
Take the initiative to add burden to the prince.
Don't ask, the answer is that he, the emperor, will not live for many years, and the prince is still young and immature. He is far from the strength to shoulder the burden of an empire, and needs training!
The prince who asked for a job and got it: ...
Just tired.
Very tiring.
It seems that Khan Ama is already very busy with all kinds of affairs, and now at least eight thousand of them are on his shoulders.
In order to prevent Khan Ama from reaching his prime, he was forced to meet Changshengtian early. The prince actively sought help for himself, and the thirteenth prince, who was named the King of Scrolls by Yinzhen, was the first to be targeted.
Now he heard that his good helper was going to leave him behind to go to the war. How could the prince bear this?
He immediately frowned and retorted.
Our Qing Dynasty has many soldiers and generals, and there are many good people who can fight.
Before he could open his mouth, the Fourth Prince grabbed his apricot yellow crown prince robe and said, "The Crown Prince is always with the Thirteenth Brother. You should know that he would rather ride a horse and fight on the battlefield than work on paperwork."
The prince was surprised. Even though he had been proud since childhood and was busy with literature and martial arts, he rarely interacted with his other brothers.
But it's not like I can't even tell you the hobbies and dreams of my important follower, but...
The Fourth Prince chuckled, "Brother, you know that Thirteenth Brother has helped the Crown Prince and Second Brother a lot over the past six months. He is like the Crown Prince's right-hand man. You must not be used to his sudden departure."
Uh-huh-huh.
The prince nodded. Isn’t that right?
Then the next moment, the smile on his fourth brother's face became more genuine: "That's easy! If you, Prince Second Brother, don't give up, I will help you deal with those trivial matters, and let Thirteenth pursue his ideals."
The prince was confused and wanted to ask him what he was thinking.
As a result, the Fourth Prince blinked and gave him a look that said, "You, the King of Rolls, find it easy to use. If you use the King of Liver, the effect will definitely be even better."
He was urged to obey quickly.
While the prince was still struggling, Yinzhen was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes: [Yongzheng's deep love for the Thirteenth Master earned the Thirteenth Master's desperate loyalty to Yongzheng. Every time I saw this, I couldn't help but be full of doubt.]
[After all, everyone who knows knows that history is a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone. Sometimes the right and wrong you see may not be the real right and wrong. But this scene today can make this prince believe: Yongyong Yiyi is real! ]
[In history, Prince Yi was willing to give up his dream of becoming a general for Emperor Yongzheng, and spent years dealing with trivial matters, even working himself to death. Now, the fourth brother is willing to take on the hard work to fulfill the thirteenth brother's dream of becoming a general. He is really, I am crying...]
The Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince smiled at each other. Not to mention the other princes, even Kangxi couldn't help but feel a bit of envy and nostalgia.
The fifth brother Chang Ning was lazy, but the second brother Fuquan was a very brotherly man. He helped him capture Oboi when he was a child, and helped him govern the country and fight for him on the battlefield when he grew up.
Before he died, he did not forget to give him earnest instructions, fearing that he would make a mistake.
But he is not a good brother, and even lets his own brother take the blame for his own son...
In the complicated silence, the Tenth Prince smiled and scratched his head: "It is still unknown what the reaction of Tsewang Arabtan will be. Isn't it too early for you to discuss this now?"
"Although it's unlikely, there is the precedent of Tamra Island. Who knows if Tsewang Arabtan will be frightened and directly raise the white flag to surrender! If he expands the territory without a single soldier, Thirteen will have no place to use his skills even if he goes there!"
Ha ha.
Kangxi sneered and glared at him: "That's Tsewang Arabtan, the Dzungar Khan who controls the entire Western Regions and has hundreds of thousands of cavalry under his command. How could he..."
It's not easy to admit the frame-up in front of Xiao Shiba, but don't these rebellious sons understand?
