Sit back and reap the rewards

Chapter 330

The feast of thousands of old men was hosted by Yinzhi. He arranged the famous dishes of each province and so on, and tried to make every dish have an allusion, which can represent a place, at least let people not only taste the dishes At the same time, they are also tasting the different customs and customs of various parts of the Qing Dynasty.

It can be said that Yinzhi has exhausted his mind for this. He never knows how many books he has read, and he finally satisfied Kangxi. At the banquet of thousands of old people, all the emperors and grandchildren represented the royal family to toast to many old people. Yinzhen also made longevity peaches inlaid with gold as a reward for them. It looks good on the surface, but the value is not very high.

This is what Yinzhen has learned over the years.

It is impossible for the [-]th birthday to be only one day, so after the feast of the thousand elders is over, the presents from the princes will come later.

Now that Yinfeng has come out, needless to say, all the order is carried out according to the ranking.

Yinfeng got his freedom late, so he didn't have long time to prepare a complete gift. Fortunately, the former princess, the current Erfujin is really a rare one. She used all the methods she could think of to prepare a perfect gift. A gift for the whole family.

As for Yinyi, his situation is better. Firstly, he has relatively more time. Secondly, he went to the west after all. Although he went secretly at that time, some of the people who went with him He knew his identity, so from this trip, not only did the sailors agree with him, but he also got a considerable part of the property.

Businessmen all know that a trip to the sea is very profitable. Kangxi asked Yinyi to go out, it is impossible just to hear the news. This trip not only learned about the situation in Western European countries, but also brought back some talents Bring back a lot of things.

At least millions of silver were brought into the national treasury, and the people under Yinzhen went with him, so the opportunity to make a fortune must not be missed.

Therefore, many of Yinzhen's birthday gifts are rare, because they are treasures brought back from the West. Of course, some of Yinzhen's congratulatory gifts also have such origins.

Congratulatory gifts were shouted over in this way. When it came to Si Age, Si Fujin, and Honghui's offerings, Li Dequan clearly saw Kangxi's eyes tremble a few times, which showed that the emperor was listening attentively. It seems that the fourth elder brother really won the sacred heart, otherwise the emperor would not pay so much attention to the fourth elder brother.

Yinzhen read out the things prepared one by one. When Kangxi heard that Yinzhen had glass and mirrors and how they were made, he let out a soft sigh. Kangxi himself was a little surprised. This gift is worth it. How much, Kangxi still has a lot in mind.

And others understand that if it is just a finished product, needless to say, it is worth money, and it is nothing to use it for the emperor. The key is the production method. It is estimated that this thing can earn millions of dollars a year. Looking up, it seems that the fourth elder brother is really rich and powerful.

Kangxi felt that Yinzhen really had intentions. Although the national treasury looked abundant, it would be hard to say if the navy was to be developed. The money must be allocated in large sums from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

As the elder brother in charge of the household department, Yinzhen is well aware of the situation of the household department. He can show these, which proves Yinzhen's public heart. This is very good. It seems that I really did not choose the wrong person. .

Yinzhen's gift was eye-catching and attracted the attention of many people.

"Fourth brother is really generous! Mynah, you have to know that if my younger brother knows these two methods, my younger brother will guarantee to double my property within a year, but these will be the income of the household department from now on, mynah, The fourth brother's family is not short of money, but I have never heard that the fourth brother has so much money that he can throw it out!"

This is because Yinzhen and Yinzhen have completely different starting points, so their ideas are naturally different.

"Ninth brother, fourth brother's move is mostly out of publicity. In this regard, you and I are not as good as fourth brother."

Yinhu thinks clearly, he has spent a lot of time working with Yinzhen these years, and he also knows a lot about Yinzhen's character, knowing that he should not look at some of Yinzhen's actions with too complicated ideas.

Yinzhen didn't think that the starling could say good things to the fourth brother, but after thinking about it, he had to admit that what the starling said was reasonable.

After reading Yinzhen's birthday ceremony, Kangxi spoke.

"Fourth, you have a heart."

A few simple words made Yinzhen feel satisfied.

At least he understood that Huang Ama really understood what he meant.

Yinyi was a little touched, because he will be one of the main persons in charge of the navy in the future, after all, it is impossible to let him take charge of it, so Yinyi knows how much money it will cost, and he can understand why Yinzhen contributed this gift .

It's just that they didn't expect that Yinzhen originally wanted to present the clock and watch, but later felt that the meaning was not good, so they could present it to Kangxi in private, so they gave up.So speaking of it, there are three ways to make money, not just the two that everyone has heard.

And the third method is beneficial if it is not mentioned on the bright side. After all, sometimes you need some secret income that the emperor knows and the courtiers don't know to do some things.

The income from clocks and watches can be used to do just that.

When all the princes' presents were over, other people's presents would naturally be all kinds of strange, but none of them could compare with Yinzhen's.

When it was time for the princess, the others were in front, and Shou Qi smiled. Tong Jia knew in advance that her daughter was going to be the main congratulatory gift. When she knew it, she thought that this would definitely satisfy the emperor, and her daughter was very filial.

"Princess Shouqi presents a pair of Longevity embroidered screens..."

The person who submitted the form read it there.

"What is Longevity Embroidered Screen?"

The Queen Mother interjected, she had heard and seen a lot of embroidered screens, Wanshou embroidered screen, this is a bit exaggerated, I don't know what kind of embroidered screen can afford it!
"Since Queen Mother is curious, why don't someone bring it up, you can take a look?"

Speaking of which, Kangxi was also a little curious.

The result was soon brought up.

It is said to be Longevity Embroidered Screen, but it is really worthy of the name, it is embroidered with 1 longevity characters.

It's just that Kangxi thinks that these birthday characters are written in different ways, many of which are not satisfactory, and some of them can't even be read at all!
Others presumably felt the same way.

Seeing this, Shou Qi was not surprised, and explained, "Huang Ama, this is my daughter who found 1 elderly people over the age of 75, and asked them to write the word "Shou". I wrote it out and asked them to write it. Although their writing is not good-looking, they are sincere in wishing Huang Ama a long life, so I used their own handwriting as the base to let people embroider the Longevity Embroidery. Screen, I hope that Huang Ama will live forever!"

After saying these words, Kangxi looked at the word "Shou" in a different way.

"Shou Qi's filial piety is one of the two best gifts I have received today."

Of the two best gifts, needless to say, the other one must have been given by the fourth elder brother.

Lan Ting looked at Shouqi's success, and could only sigh from the sidelines, the idea in Qingchuan's novel is really good, you see, Princess Shouqi has used it at least twice, and both times it was brilliant.

When the imperial concubine heard Kangxi's praise, she also showed satisfaction in the corners of her eyes. Shou Qi's performance made everyone amazed. This is also the brilliance of her face!
After Princess Shouqi's gift, everyone else made their own gifts.

Let Lan Ting say that for Kangxi's entire birthday, the gifts he received could at least be several times that of previous years' birthday gifts, and now Kangxi's small coffers had a lot of harvest.

Of course, Lan Ting is not so rich now, and she is used to it in the Qing Dynasty for so many years, but the thing that surprised her today is still to come!

Kangxi accepted the gifts from everyone, and said a few words with emotion, and then there was a show prepared by the Ministry of Rites, in which the grandsons of the emperors from various prefectures actually went up and performed a show.

This made Kangxi very satisfied. The congratulatory gift prepared by his grandson for Mafa can be said to be filial piety.

Lan Ting knew about this gift, because the planner of this gift was none other than Hong Zhou. Fortunately, he got Yinzhen's strong support and thought it was Hong Zhou's rare masterpiece.

"I am really happy today. I have received three best gifts in total." Kangxi started talking about the birthday gift.

Everyone listened all the time, and of course no one dared to interrupt, and then they heard Kangxi change the subject, starting with his ascension to the throne when he was young, then getting rid of Obai, exterminating San Francisco, etc. It took more than an hour to finally talk about it again. Speaking of today.

, When the emperor finished speaking, everyone knelt down together, "The emperor is wise and martial, and his martial arts and martial arts are hard to find in the world. It is my blessing to the Qing Dynasty. I wish my emperor long live and long live."

"I have been on the throne for 52 years, and this year I am already 60 years old. I am 61 years old. I am an old man in sixty years. I have indeed felt that my energy is not as good as in previous years. Today is my [-]th birthday. I want to announce here This is a big event." Kangxi looked at the crowd without any hesitation, since he has made a decision, he will not regret it.

Kangxi is also a firm person. After so many years, although the imperial power has already held a very important position in his heart, at this moment, Kangxi felt that he had obtained something that other wise monarchs might not have obtained, because he really understood what it means to retire. One step to the sea and the sky.

The important matter that the emperor talked about must be a major event. Everyone pricked up their ears and listened. There is no need to ask, it must be related to future matters, and it is even possible that the emperor has decided who will be the future prince.

Yinzhen was a little anxious. Could it be that Huang Ama is going to fail to establish a reserve at this time? If this is the case, then it is not very good, because it is obviously not good for starlings at this time. If it is really a reserve, most of the candidates are The fourth child.

It's no secret that Yinzhen really doesn't want to let Yinzhen take over the position. After all, he and Yinzhen don't get along.

But no matter who it is, what they think most is that the emperor has already made a decision on the candidate for the prince, but no one has thought of Kangxi's next decision.

"I have worked hard for these years, and I hope to have a good rest, so I have decided that I will abdicate. Fourth brother, you come up."

Kangxi's words made everyone dumbfounded, especially the eighth brother, Huang Ama didn't play with his son like this, really, didn't you just say that you would give your son and the fourth brother the prince double salary? If you don't want one brother, you will make up for the throne to him.

Yinhu has already forgotten that the double salary of the prince that Kangxi said was on the Empress Dowager's Qianqiu Festival, and it has been a while since now.

But with so many courtiers here, what could Yinhu say? Yinrong had guessed it before, but he never expected that Huang Ama would abdicate, even Yinfeng was stunned on the spot.

Yinzhen couldn't believe it either. He originally thought that if Huang Ama decided to make the fourth brother the crown prince, it would be difficult for him to accept it, but now it was not what he had expected. The fourth brother did it in one step. No, if it really works, what will he do in the future!

Some members of the Baye Party quickly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, you can't leave, the country cannot live without you!"

As soon as the voice came out, the rest of the people also knelt down.Everyone hopes to use this method to make Kangxi go back on his word, because many of them don't want Yinzhen to take the position now. Although it is possible for the fourth elder brother to take the position, it is a day later. You know, this Lord, but a master who can't rub the sand in his eyes!
Didn't you see that the Ministry of Household Affairs has been a department with a lot of money among the six departments in recent years, but the staff there are all clean, how dare they be greedy!
There is a cold-faced king, and there is a Yu Yan king. The two people made the entire household dare not do whatever they wanted.

Looking at fourth master's behavior, one knows that after this one ascends the throne, everyone's hard life will come.

So their prayers are definitely from the heart.

"Okay, you don't need to say any more, I have already made up my mind, why do you want to enjoy a few years of easy life and enjoy the family happiness, can you object?"

Kangxi's tone was very serious, and now everyone dared not object, because they could hear that they were objecting, and that was against the emperor. Kangxi has been on the throne for more than 50 years and has a great reputation. Who would dare to twist with Kangxi? Those who dared have already been dealt with by Kangxi.

"Fourth, you come up?" Kangxi looked at Yinzhen, and stood there stupidly. It seemed that this son was sincerely filial. He never thought that there would be such a day, and now Kangxi was even more satisfied. Think your decision is right.

Yinzhen was also in a daze, he had already prepared for ten years of struggle, that is, he had thought of all kinds of plans, although his son had been the Supreme Emperor, but he never expected that his father would have such a day, But Huang Ama is really in good health!

"Fourth, do you want to oppose me too?" Kangxi was a little angry, but the fourth brother didn't respond for a long time. He is not the emperor yet, so he dared not listen to me.

"My son dare not?" Yinzhen was born again, and he never dared to oppose Kangxi.

Therefore, Yinzhen can only walk upwards. Of course, in Yinzhen's memory, he should be familiar with such scenes, but why is it like this today...

Kangxi took Yinzhen's hand, "This is the next emperor I have chosen for you, and he is your new master. One month later, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony will be held. This is the big thing I want to explain. Now the new emperor Now that the emperor has made a decision, you can pay your respects."

The Minister of Rites wants to cry, Your Majesty, you have not abdicated to become the Supreme Emperor, and the new Emperor has not officially ascended the throne, how can you cheat us like this, but it is impossible if you don’t kneel, after all, it is the Emperor’s will, and the Emperor is still watching from above ?
So everyone could only kneel down in unison, saying in unison that it was the auspiciousness of the emperor, but they probably didn't know who they were addressing.

Kangxi was very satisfied, "Fourth brother, I will leave this Jiangshan Zhen to you, do you know what to do?"

Yinzhen looked at Kangxi's expectant eyes. Under everyone's gaze, he was about to walk to a new level, and at the same time, he would open the road of Daqing.
