Chapter 266: Crazy Example
As soon as he said the word "of course", Yinzhen happily bowed to him and said, "Thank you for your help, sir."
"You..." Dai Zi stared in astonishment: "Why are you doing this? Even if everyone in the world thinks that you are a good-looking person and unreliable, the emperor will not have any doubts and will even praise you as a talented person of the royal family. Just report the truth, it's not a big deal..."
There's no need to do all this nonsense!
and……
Although the saying that "all under heaven belongs to the king and all the people in the land are the king's subjects" is a bit exaggerated, Dai Zi can guarantee that nothing within the boundaries of the capital can be hidden from the eyes of the emperor.
To put it bluntly, what the little guy did was like taking off his pants to fart!
[It's time to test my language ability. My success or failure depends on how I fool others.]
Baotai glanced sideways, full of interest in the famous scene that was to follow.
But just as he pricked up his ears, Yinzhen bowed to him and said, "My younger brother has something to say to Mr. Dai. Can Baotai cousin step aside for a while? Please, please~"
After saying this, he clasped his hands together as if asking for help, and then offered a bribe - his sister Kejing personally sent someone to deliver him some dried meat despite the long journey.
"Okay, okay, I will step aside now so that you, Little Eighteen, can speak freely."
"Thank you, Baotai."
"We are cousins from the same family, Eighteen, there is no need to be so polite. As long as you do not disobey the emperor's order, do not violate the interests of the Qing Dynasty, do not violate the laws of the Qing Dynasty, and it is within my ability, you can say whatever you want!"
Yin Xuan nodded heavily: "Yes, yes, brother Baotai, don't worry, I will definitely not be polite to you."
"It's easy to talk about."
The two cousins smiled and said goodbye. One of them just went out and then quietly went back, clinging to the outer wall like a gecko, making sure to eavesdrop clearly and not miss any punctuation marks.
Another one?
Not only did he watch his cousin leave, he also checked carefully to verify. After confirming that he really left and that there was no possibility of eavesdropping, he sighed: "Sir, you were in Liaodong a few years ago, and you didn't know how treacherous the court was. I grew up in the palace, and I am used to all kinds of infighting."
This opening was so exciting that Dai Zi stood there in a daze.
Just as he was about to speak up to stop her, the prince's apprentice started to give an even more explosive example: "My second brother, the crown prince, has been appointed crown prince since he was a cradle. Khan Ama has taught him meticulously over the years. The love between father and son is so deep that it's almost comparable to that of the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and his short-lived crown prince Yiwen, but..."
"In the 29th year, Khan Ama fell ill, and the second brother, the crown prince, was sent back while on his way to visit him. For a long time afterwards, he was in a state where he could be blamed for anything."
"My God!" Dai Zi finally found an opportunity to interrupt and gritted his teeth: "My Lord, are you going to drag me to the underworld to be master and apprentice?"
Yinzhen shook his head: "How is that possible? I just wanted to give you an example!"
No, no, no, please don't do that.
Dai Zi looked polite and suggested that he get to the point directly.
Great!
Yin Xuan helplessly spread his hands: "The point is, even the second brother, the crown prince, who is not pleasing to the Khan, has to live a life of trembling and treading on thin ice. The crown prince has such a hard time, so wouldn't it be even harder for the prince who stands out?"
"you!"
"Teach me, sir, so that I can contribute a little to the country and the people, but also not become the target of public criticism. My brothers are all talented in both literature and martial arts, and with my little cleverness, I can't even survive a few moves in their hands. I'd better be a good boy and try not to be targeted! After all, we are master and apprentice, sir, can you help your disciple?"
The little guy used both soft and hard tactics, what else could Dai Zi do?
I can only say the ugly words up front: no matter who proposes and presents the idea of this new weapon, it cannot change the fact that the thing is good but too expensive.
You can ask for it, but don’t blame yourself if you fail!
Yin Xuan nodded: "Of course! Sir, you don't have to worry about so much, just do it with confidence, and leave the supporting duties to the students."
Since he had agreed, Dai Zi didn't delay.
He immediately followed Yinzhen into the palace to ask for an audience, and explained in detail the pros and cons of the new blueprint. Then he knelt down obediently, waiting for the emperor's judgment.
Just as he expected, before the document was even brought to the court, there were different opinions among the princes.
Those who agree believe that if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Good things that can increase the chances of victory and reduce casualties on your side are worth spending more on.
The opposition feels that no matter how good the product is, it is too late to bring it out.
By the time the construction, debugging and production are completed, the so-called Dzungar Khanate will have become history...
The sentence "Although both the national treasury and the private treasury are sufficient, they should not be wasted on unnecessary things" accurately hit the nail on the head for Yinzhen.
He was so angry that he clenched his fists. "What do you mean by that, Third Brother? I... ahem, Mr. Dai worked so hard and was eager to guide my younger brother day and night to tinker with this good thing, how come it is unnecessary?"
"Yes, with the current momentum, Junggar is no match for the imperial court. If everything goes well, good news will come soon, and the entire Junggar will become history."
"But wars can stop, but can research on weapons that can safeguard national security stop?"
"cannot!"
"It is a good lesson to be prepared for danger in times of peace. What you give is what you get. Looking back to the past, after the Chanyuan Alliance between Song and Liao, weapons were put into storage, horses were put in the mountains, and there was no thought of making progress. What was the result? The Northern Song Dynasty was bullied by the Southern Song Dynasty, and finally the country was destroyed and the race was exterminated."
[How amazingly similar is history? After the three expeditions against Galdan, Emperor Kangxi also thought that the world was at peace and gave up further research on firearms. Even Dai Zi, a great contributor, was convicted and exiled, and eventually died in Liaodong. When those bandits came with foreign wooden arsenal firearms, burning, killing and looting, the Qing soldiers only had the shabby horse archery and the outdated wooden arsenal firearms...]
"Yinxuan, you are so bold!" The third prince blushed and said, "How dare you compare the Qing Dynasty with the old story of the weak Song Dynasty?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Kangxi and the Crown Prince felt dizzy.
It felt like the third brother had done something stupid, and it was not good that his father and son, and even the entire Qing Dynasty, were being criticized crazily.
As expected, Yinzhen was stunned when he heard this: [Well, all the great unified dynasties can laugh at the weak Song Dynasty, except for the Jin and Qing Dynasties! After all, although the Song Dynasty was weak, its economy was the best in the world at that time, and its culture was at the forefront of the entire feudal dynasty history. The literary style was rich, and the emperor even wrote poems to encourage learning. Books can bring you a golden house and a beautiful woman. How many students studied hard because of this? ]
[The Kangxi and Qianlong eras were ridiculed by netizens as the "potato era". Culture... it's hard to say what the culture was like, but the literary inquisition was definitely the culmination of all the cases. There were so many cases that the people were afraid and would rather be illiterate than study! It's said on the Internet that the illiteracy rate in the Qing Dynasty was the highest in history...]
[The Song Dynasty paid tribute and spent money to buy peace. The late Qing Dynasty not only paid compensation but also ceded territory. It was not only not much worse, it was even better, wasn’t it?]
