In the 51st year of Kangxi, the three of Hongchen finally arrived in Xiyang with the fleet. Xiyang is in the period of cultural renaissance. The three of Hongchen are very curious about everything. Seeing the enthusiasm of Western businessmen for the captain, they finally understand , How popular are the goods of the Qing Dynasty in the West, just like the goods of the West in the Qing Dynasty.

"Captain, these porcelains are not the best. Is it necessary for these merchants to do this? It's like they are robbing things." Hongchen looked at these merchants' pursuit of Qing Dynasty goods, and really couldn't understand.

"It's not a big deal. These porcelains will be bought by the nobles here in the end. Moreover, these porcelains are not used, but hung on the wall for others to see." As a businessman from the mysterious East, the captain once Fortunately, he was invited by the nobles here to visit their castle. At that time, he was a little embarrassed to see that Qing porcelain was treated like this after it entered the West.

Hongchen: "..." Well, it's because he has too little experience.

Every time the merchant ship went to a place, the goods of the Qing Dynasty were looted, which was even more fierce than the Western goods in the Qing Dynasty. Hongchen thought about it, if Uncle Jiu came here, he would probably go crazy, because the business is so serious. It's so easy to do.

Seeing the Westerners crazy about Qing's goods, Hongchen felt a little worried, and felt guilty. If these people were not satisfied, it would be a good idea to send troops to attack Qing for the treasures.

Hongchen shared his worries with the captain, and the captain smiled.

"What's so ridiculous?" Hong Chen was puzzled, he felt that his worry was very reasonable.

"First of all, Xiyang is far away from the Qing Dynasty. Look at the days when we were captains. These people sailed there and wanted to fight the Qing Dynasty. They were exhausted for a long time, and a ship couldn't carry many soldiers. Daqing The Qing is powerful, so why are you afraid of these soldiers?" The captain smiled, not taking it seriously, and didn't think at all that Xiyang had the ability to send troops to attack the Qing.

"How about using cannons and guns?" Hongchen asked.

"When fighting against Tsarist Russia earlier, Tsarist Russia also used that thing. That thing is useless, and it is easy to explode. Although it can kill people from thousands of miles like bows and arrows, our bows and arrows have repeating crossbows. Those guns need to be reloaded after being shot once, and they are not as easy to use as bows and arrows." Kangxi looked down on guns, and the captain naturally looked down on guns.

Hongchen tilted his head, always feeling that what the captain said was wrong, now he needs to fire a shot for a bullet, and it is easy to blow up the chamber and accidentally injure himself, but its power is actually greater than that of a bow and arrow, and it is also possible Developed a gun that is not so easy to explode and fires continuously. At this time, bows and arrows are not as easy to use.

Hongchen pressed this question to the bottom of his heart, thinking that after he formed the fleet, he must pay attention to it. In fact, there is another point that Hongchen didn't say. He saw a blueprint in his Ama's study , He didn't pay attention to it before, but now that he saw □□□, he remembered that it was the drawing of □□□.

The blueprint is very detailed and kept very hidden. Hongchen figured it out in a flash. I am afraid that Ama also paid attention to it. Unfortunately, because too long time passed, he was still young at that time, so he didn't remember the blueprint. It was really a bit of a mistake to come down. It seems that he still has to go back and steal Ama's blueprint.

In August of the 51st year of Kangxi, the fleet returned.

In November, Kangxi announced the abolition of Prince Yinreng's position as prince again and imprisoned him.

"Uncle Ba, where are you going?" Jing Shu came out of the Imperial Concubine's Palace, and when she arrived at the Imperial Garden, she met Yinhu and hurried over to pay her respects.

"I just went to your Mrs. Liang's place. Where are you from?" Yinhu patted Jingshu's head.

"I just went to pay my respects to my wife, eighth uncle, Hongwang will also study in the Shangshufang next year, right?" Jing Shu opened her eyes wide, she did not forget what brother Hongchen told her when he left.

"Yes, Jingshu has a good memory." Yinhu nodded.

"When Hongwang goes to study in Shang's study, I will take good care of him. Didn't Eighth Uncle entrust him to brother Hongchen? When brother Hongchen went to sea, he told me to take his place at that time." Teach brother Hongwang first, and after he comes back, he will teach himself," Jing Shu said.

Yinhu: "...", how does this make him reply.

"Uncle Ba, don't worry, I will teach Hongwang well," Jing Shu promised.

Yinhu: "...", I said whether I should be happy or not. When Hongchen left, he was still thinking about Hongwang and his promise, but handing Hongwang over to Jingshu, Yinhu couldn't believe it. The girl has a fierce character who dares to follow others with a knife.

"Then trouble Jingshu." Yinhu thought for a while, Jingshu and Hongchen have one thing in common, that is, they are in excellent health, and they seldom consulted imperial physicians since childhood. Thinking about Hongwang's health, he also said that he was a little worried Yes, if he can be like Jingshu and Hongchen, he can feel at ease.

"Hee hee, don't worry, eighth uncle," Jing Shu smiled.

The prince was abolished, and the other princes also changed. The thirteenth and fourteenth were in charge of the Ministry of War, while Yinhu was in charge of the Ministry of Officials, Yinzhen was still in charge of the Ministry of Households, and the third prince was in charge of the Ministry of Rites. Kangxi's attitude became ambiguous.

"Are you here?" Yinreng stayed in the main hall of Yuqing Palace, staring blankly outside.

"Well, prince..., is second brother okay?" Sitting beside Yinfeng, Yinzhen asked softly.

"What's so good about it? Winners and losers. Earlier, Gu laughed at the boss, and the retribution was not good, but now it's Gu's turn." The corners of Yinfeng's mouth rose slightly, showing a mocking smile.

Yinzhen was quiet and didn't answer. It's not because of retribution, it's just that the prince is too proud. He was valued by Huang Ama since he was a child, and his innate sense of superiority made him lost. Huang Ama is the king first, and then the prince. Father, just like Huang Ama's name, first say Huang, and then Ama.

Yinzhen didn't speak, and Yinreng didn't mind either. "Now you are the only one who comes to see Gu. Those people outside, when you gain power, stick to it like brown sugar, and when you lose power, they leave in a hurry. Heh, Gu has no use value anymore," Yin said. Reng laughed at himself.

"Second brother still has a chance." Yinzhen pursed his lips and squeezed out a sentence from his throat.

"You know, there won't be another chance, it's only three, it's impossible for Huang Ama to be the prince alone again, it's already embarrassing enough for two wastes and two establishments, Huang Ama won't do it again, three wastes and three establishments" Yinfeng looked at Very clear.

"Do you regret it?" Yinzhen finally couldn't hold back and asked.

"I don't regret it, I never regret it, I don't regret everything I do." A tear rolled down the corner of the prince's eyes, he understood what Yinzhen said, he still had a chance, and that was to really launch a coup d'état , But he couldn't bear it, that person, who once held him in the palm of his hand, once placed high hopes on him, once taught him how to deal with government affairs, how he could bear it, launched a coup, and took away that person's country, how much he hoped, that person People can feel at ease and hand over the country to themselves.

But no, that person's children are too many, too many knives to count, he can't lose to other children, he can only fight and strengthen himself, hoping to get the approval of that person, but in the end, it is futile Well, that person didn't believe him, that person would never allow a son who threatened his throne to appear, and he was not as cruel as that person in the end.

"Don't you regret it?" Yinzhen was startled.

"Fourth, I beg you for one thing." The prince, who had never begged anyone except Kangxi, finally lowered his matter and raised his head.

"Prince, please tell me," Yinzhen said hastily.

"Help Gu take good care of Hongxi. That child is as smart as Hongchen. If Gu is imprisoned, that person will make up for it on Hongxi, but that person will die one day. When the new emperor ascends the throne, what about Hongxi? I will only be feared by the new emperor, it's fine for Hong Xi to go to sea, if he comes back, he still wants to go to sea, please help him," Yinfeng said.

"Danger at sea" Yinzhen hesitated to speak.

"Dangerous, but free" Yinfeng muttered to himself.

Yinzhen heard the prince's words clearly, it's dangerous, but is it free?

"Gu is very happy that you can come to see Gu, you go back, don't come again, it's not good for your future," Yinfeng said.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, it's not me in the end." Yinzhen smiled.

The prince also smiled, looked at Yinzhen with deep meaning in his eyes, and then closed his eyes.

Yinzhen felt that at that glance, the prince seemed to see through him.

Coming out of the prince's Yuqing Palace, Yinzhen saw his daughter chatting happily with Yinhu.

"Ama" Jingshu saw Yinzhen, and waved fiercely at Yinzhen.

Yinzhen walked over and asked, "What are you two talking about? Are you talking so happily?".

"We're talking about Hongwang. Didn't my eighth uncle hand over Hongwang to brother Hongchen? But brother Hongchen went to sea. Before going to sea, brother Hongchen said, Hongwang first asked him to teach him, and waited for him. After I come back, I will teach myself." Jing Shu is very proud that she can finally teach others.

"You still need a teacher to teach you yourself, don't spoil Hongwang's teaching." Yinzhen looked at Jingshu, but Yu Guang paid attention to Yinhu, and found that he was not dissatisfied. His two children are very doting, first Hong Chen, and then Jing Shu, you know, Jing Shu's character is definitely not a gentle one, Jing Shu is chasing people with a knife, it is estimated that the ministers of the court have no Everyone knows everyone, just like this, Yinhu still dares to hand over Hongwang to Jingshu to teach, he really doesn't know what to say.

"Ama..." Jing Shu pouted, dissatisfied.

"Jingshu is very good, I like it very much, and I also heard that her grades in the Shangshufang are no worse than those of the prince and grandson. It is very good for Hongwang to let her teach. I hope Hongwang can also have Jingshu Such boldness," Yinhu said.

Yinzhen was silent for a moment, and began to wonder in his heart, is Yinhu trying to use this to plot something, but he only has one child, Hongwang, and if he loses, it can be said that he will take in his only child. Such a deal, how is it worthwhile? .

"Since your eighth uncle believes in you, you have to teach him well," Yinzhen said softly.

"Yeah." Jing Shu nodded vigorously.
