Qing Dynasty Crossover

Chapter 407
Qi Luo endured it for a while, but couldn't help asking, "Is Huang Ama really ordered to ban the sea?" Yinzhen glanced at Qi Luo's expression, "Huang Ama hasn't issued a decree yet, but the book on the coast has already arrived. Yuqian, there are a lot of people going to the sea in the south of the Yangtze River now, and the fertile land is abandoned, it is not appropriate for businessmen to make huge profits, not to mention that the coast is not stable, Huang Ama should be ready to play."

"No." Qi Luo pressed his hand on the piano keys, and the rhythmless sound made Yin Zhen a little dazed. Although he knew that Qi Luo was interested in Western studies under the influence of Ling Zhu, he never thought about her Being so excited, his complexion darkened, and there was a bit of coolness in his eyes. Qi Luo was not unaware of it, and his heart was very nervous. , silk, etc. can be exchanged for more money, and can also make up for the national treasury, not to mention that if it is really a sea ban and lack of outside news, wouldn’t it be, wouldn’t it be.”

"What is it?" Yinzhen's tone became more icy, Qi Luo lowered his head, moved his lips silently, Yelang was arrogant, Yinzhen pressed hard on the keys with a snap, stood up, grabbed Qi Luo's arm, and said in a deep voice, " Tell Grandpa one more time."

Qi Luo also became angry, the grievance in her heart, the history of humiliation towards the end of the Qing Dynasty, made her look up into Yinzhen's eyes, and said seriously, "Fourth master, the sea is not forbidden, Westerners are good at studying things, they survive the fittest, just like me I told Hongli the story of the pirates, Huang Ama is the emperor of the ages, and it is honor for all nations to come to court."

Feeling some pain in her arm, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Yinzhen without flinching, her white teeth bit her lip fiercely, Yinzhen repeated softly, "The story of pirates? All nations come to court?" Wu Xi pulled Hongli away from her parents, Hongli Li blinked and shook off her elder sister's hand, straightened her body, stepped forward two steps and looked up at Yinzhen, the clear and clear childish voice echoed in the room, "Ama, Erniang once said that pirates are controlled by Western monarchs. , They have filled the national treasury, and the ships and guns are changing with each passing day. My little uncle also said that only on the battlefield can we maintain the courage of the elite of the Eight Banners. If you are too comfortable, it will lose its sharpness like a blunt knife.”

Yinzhen left Qi Luo angrily, and landed on Hongli. Hongli resisted the urge to retreat, although his eyes were dodged a little, he said, "Ama, don't blame Erniang." Released Qi Luo's grip. Arm, Yinzhen touched the top of Hongli's head, his eyes suppressed the anger, showing a bit of relief, "You go back with Wu Xi first, Ama has something to say with your mother."

Wu Xi looked at Qi Luo worriedly, saw her nod her head, and then pulled the reluctant Hongli away.There was only the ticking of the clock in the room, Qi Luo felt very depressed, and stared at him unwillingly, a trace of admiration flashed in Yinzhen's eyes, and he turned behind her, holding Qi Luo in his arms like when he was assassinated, "How long has it been since I saw you like this?"

Qi Luo softened, approached Yinzhen's arms, and said softly, "Master, I don't have to deal with outside affairs, nor do I want to make you unhappy, but as long as I think about it, Lord, Western Gewu really develops. Soon, only with communication can we make progress, and it is not appropriate to rest on our laurels."

"I think Duke Zhiyuan will be like you, and Huang Ama may also have a headache." With a little helplessness, Yinzhen hugged Qi Luo and turned around in the inner room. You can listen." Qi Luo hugged Yinzhen's neck, and whispered into his ear, "Master, you will do better than Huang Ama in the future, you are my Qi Luo's husband, you are the best." Yinzhen The corners of Zhen's mouth turned up, and he hugged her and fell on the Kang, pulling up the quilt to cover the two of them, "What's the piano piece you play?"

"Ode to Joy, I just can't play it well. I will play a better one for Grandpa in the future. Swan Lake, a beautiful and lovely little swan." Sensing Yinzhen's surprise, Qi Luo smiled and told the story of Swan Lake "The prince and the princess live happily together. Also, there is Cinderella." Lying on Yinzhen's chest, she sighed softly, "Actually, I think I am more like Cinderella, who captured the prestigious Prince Yong."

"Then you have to hold on tighter." With a hint of emotion in Yin Zhen's eyes, he hugged Qi Luo even tighter, feeling very comfortable in his heart, closed his eyes, moved his body to make Qi Luo lie more comfortably, Ling Zhu should enter the palace, how will Huang Ama decide?
Just as Yinzhen expected, although Ling Zhu didn't care about government affairs, but he heard the rumors about the Forbidden Sea and the emperor's decree, he couldn't bear to hand over the sign overnight to see him.Kangxi naturally summoned him. Ling Zhu knelt on the ground and refused to get up. He spoke impassionedly about the disadvantages of banning the sea, and finally kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, if you ban the sea because you are worried about the harassment of foreign enemies, it is a disgrace to the soldiers. Yes. For the shame of the general, the slave has no face to be the Duke of Zhiyuan."

"Ling Zhu, get up for me." Kangxi felt powerless, Ling Zhu gritted his teeth secretly, knelt and climbed in front of Kangxi, looked at the legs on the pedal covered with yellow cloth, hugged him suddenly, tears flashed in his eyes, " Your Majesty, a slave is not talented, I would like to train the navy again for the Emperor."

Kangxi couldn't break free, so he had to follow him, but Ling Zhu, who was always lazy, took the initiative to take the job?A smile flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a deep voice, "What is the navy?"

"Your Majesty, the navy is the elite that fights and defends the territory at sea. Isn't there Japanese pirates? If you have a navy in your hand, how can you be a small Japanese pirate? In the previous dynasty, Zheng He made seven voyages to the West, and all nations came to court. You are the master of the world, How could it be worse than that emperor of the previous dynasty?" Ling Zhu knew that Kangxi cared about face and wanted to know, but it was difficult for him to remember Zhu Di's title, so he could only be vague.

Kangxi raised his hand and slapped Ling Zhu on the head, holding back his smile, "You can't even remember your name, how dare you speak to me? I asked you to read more books, do you take it to heart? You don't mean to Perfunctory me."

"Your Majesty, this slave would never dare." Ling Zhu raised his head pitifully, and softly argued, "As long as this slave just reads it, his head hurts, no, his whole body feels uncomfortable."

"I know your heart, and I understand your loyalty even more." Kangxi looked down into Ling Zhu's eyes, "I will not ban the sea, but I will not let businessmen pursue profits, and I am also a little hard to make a decision. It’s no longer the same as before.”

"Your Majesty is in good health, how can you grow old?" Ling Zhu was overjoyed, as long as he couldn't hold back the sea, he thought for a while and suggested softly, "If your Majesty thinks that businessmen are after profit, you might as well levy heavy taxes. Tea from the Qing Dynasty, etc., are very popular in the West." It is precious, and only the real nobles can enjoy it, even compared to gold, if the merchants sell these to the West and exchange them for gold to enrich the treasury, it is also good."

After hearing this, Kangxi couldn't help being stunned for a moment. The temptation to flood the treasury with heavy taxes was really great. "My dear Zhiyuan, your eyes light up when you mention money, and I treat you so badly?"

"The emperor's kindness to the servant is as high as the sky." Ling Zhu's old face flushed, and he said embarrassingly, Kangxi sighed and helped Ling Zhu up, "Okay, you get up, you have to make a plan for the navy, I still have to think about it. Discuss the matter later."

"Your Majesty, although I don't like to read books, I do know about Tang Taizong. The rule of Zhenguan created a prosperous Tang Dynasty, and heaven can be famous in history. In the eyes of my slaves, you don't know how much higher than Tang Taizong. You should let your His reputation spread all over the West." Resisting the contempt for himself in his heart, Ling Zhu got up and gritted his teeth, looking at Kangxi sincerely, no matter what he couldn't stop the sea, wasn't it just a few words of flattery?I have a thick skin, and in order to leave a glimmer of hope for the future, I can say no matter how nasty.

Kangxi also changed from the tiredness just now, and suddenly there was a bit of sharpness in his body. The battle with the Raksha Kingdom, the expansion of the territory, and the suppression of the rebellion in Tibet have made him full of confidence. He thinks about Tang Taizong more than Ling The pillars are much deeper, and Li Shimin, who ascended to the throne of God in the Xuanwu Gate, was praised by later generations because of what?Isn't it just a consolidated country?Kangxi got up suddenly, paced in the hall, and softly repeated "God Khan, God Khan."

"Your Majesty, unlike the Tang Dynasty, Western countries have also formed and prospered. If it is true that the territory of the Qing Dynasty is where the iron cavalry rides, then Qin Huang, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu are far behind you." Ling Zhu thought it would be better to add more fire. He said softly, "Although fighting costs money, the Western countries are also very rich."

Kangxi stopped in his tracks, shook his head and chuckled, "My Lord Zhiyuan, I really admire you when it comes to money. If you are willing to study hard and take care of the household department for me, maybe." Don't worry, stop talking, and ask amusedly, "How about Qi Jue's marriage? Has the dowry been sent to you?"

"Your Majesty, Prince Kang is so kind and generous. This servant feels uneasy." The smile in Kangxi's eyes deepened, and he said teasingly, "It makes you uneasy. It seems that this dowry is not thin." Ling Zhu Gan laughed twice, heard the faint sound of a watch outside, and said softly, "Your Majesty, you have to pay attention to the dragon's body, the servant will leave first."

"You quarreled with me for most of the night and disturbed my interest. Now you want to go out of the palace?" Kangxi had a half-smile on his face. Very carefree, glanced at the sky outside, secretly calculated that it was not long before going to court, took a sip of the strong tea on the kang table, and became more energetic, as if the exuberant energy before had returned to his body body.

"Slave should die, please forgive me." Ling Zhu kowtowed to plead guilty, Kangxi put the teacup heavily on the kang table and drank softly, "How many times have I said that if I really annoy you, your life can still be saved?" Stay until today? I'll see, it's time to go to court in a while, you have a conversation with me, that boy Qi Jue, how you train him is different from others."

Ling Zhu got up, a trace of pity welled up in his heart. Although Kangxi may not be a good father, he also longed for a loving father and filial piety, especially when he was old. He stepped forward two steps and whispered to Kangxi Interesting things about getting along with Qi Jue. Before long, the servants outside could hear Kangxi’s deep or hearty laughter. Li Dequan looked up at the bright night sky. Sigh, "As long as the emperor's heart is happy, life will be easy."
