Chapter 238

Sha Cheng's questioning made Yinreng feel guilty for a moment. He quickly regained his spirits and said confidently: "It's Khan Ama who is reluctant to retire, why are he blamed himself for being alone again?"

"Mr. Sha, you said that you are not competent for the busy work of the Ministry of Rites on the grounds of your age. Khan Ama and Orphan both think that you are still old and are still strong, and you can't bear to go home and enjoy your old age!"

The prince sat on a small stool and persuaded Sha Cheng with great sincerity. His tone seemed to be like a husband who was hurting his wife's heart to save something, not to mention how interesting it was.

Sha Cheng's old face, like an orange peel, was almost wrinkled into a chrysanthemum. He replied gently: "The old minister is already at the age of being able to pray for a rest. No one in the court is still busy at the age of the old minister. The old minister also feels that he lacks energy and may find it difficult to continue to be promoted to the position."

"Mr. Sha is highly respected and has excellent character. Khan Ama trusts you! Now the Ministry of Rites is subdivided. The Ministry of Culture is in charge of books, imperial examinations, publicity, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs manages the affairs of the vassal courts and foreign affairs. The remaining departments only need to be in charge of food, sacrifices, and disciplines, which is much easier!"

Yinreng stretched out his claws to take the documents from Sha Cheng, and helped him put them on the shelf, and said while putting them: "You will not continue to worry and fatigue. Gu also knows that he has disturbed the adults before. This period of time he came to the Ministry of Rites has caused trouble for you. But what Gu is doing now is to remove the Ministry of Rites! You are broad-minded and will not bother with Gu. The adults of the Ministry of Rites have you to suppress and no one dares to jump out to object, but if you leave during the transformation period, Gu will have to face Lord Zhang Shizhen and Zhang, and the blame of the remaining officials of the Ministry of Rites. Gu is afraid even if he thinks about it."

Sha Cheng paused, his expression subtle and surprised.

"Are you still afraid?"

His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, was really spending all his time on trouble, and Sha Cheng never saw him free of time. He was so calm when he was questioned and embarrassed by court officials at the court meeting, and was afraid of the blame of the mere ritual officials?

Sha Cheng was not confused yet, so he naturally remembered the questions and answers between the prince and Zhang Shizhen in the court.

"I see that you are not afraid of Lord Zhang. How could you be afraid of the emperor behind you?"

He always thought that the emperor was too doting on His Highness, and the tutors who should have supervised the prince to study hard were all drunk and none of them could "confront" the prince.

"I am afraid or afraid. It's just that some things I know are right to do. If it's good for the future of the Qing Dynasty, I will do it immediately without delaying it. Because there may be better things to worry about in the future. The etiquette department has written the department, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has further subdivided the positions, which is conducive to government affairs. This is naturally a lot of benefits, but the disadvantages are that Lord Sha has less power in his hands, that is, you don't care about me, and the obstacles to the division of the branch are small, so that it can be smooth."

Sha Cheng sighed lightly: "Only the branch can the old minister have free time to talk to His Highness here. If you don't have branch, the old minister will have to be busy dispersed!"

A thin red appeared on Yinreng's face, and he was embarrassed.

"I'm lonely."

"Whether Your Highness is wrong, it takes time to prove it. Judging from the current increasingly prosperous treasury of the Qing Dynasty and the gradually gathering of the people in the court, you are actually not wrong."

Sha Cheng also guessed that the prince would come. Perhaps the emperor was instructed, he sighed softly, and he had already planned to stay for the time being, but he looked at the prince who scratched his ears and cheeks and racked his brains to persuade him to stay, and his heart moved.

Seeing this, Yinreng continued to work hard and kept his heart sincerely, and felt extremely apologized for causing trouble for Sha Cheng before.

Seeing him like this, Sha Cheng felt extremely important to him. The old minister felt very honored and felt warm in his heart.

The prince was rampant in the court, and the emperor was doting on him, but he never became arrogant because of his favor. He would surrender to the nobles to persuade him. It was rare.

Sha Cheng's expression loosened, and he was finally coaxed to change his mind under Yinreng's persuasion.

Yinreng breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

The Manchu Shangshu Hazhan of the Ministry of Rites was sick and prayed for a rest. He was about to fail, but fortunately he left Lord Sha behind.

In the resignation, Wu Zhengzhi prayed for rest, and Huang Ji also prayed for rest, one of the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace and the other of the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace, both of them fell ill.

This is a good thing. Apart from Wang Xi and Song Deyi, the grandfather who stayed in the capital were the third grandfather and the pearl in the palm.

The third grandfather fought with Mingzhu in his palm like a black-eyed beast. Yinreng didn't expect to be a man. With Mingzhu in his palm's paranoia, if he really did something, he would be scared away by him in shock. If he scared away, who would work?

The eldest brother is not in the capital, and the pearl in his hand feels that he can't beat his third grandfather. That means he just runs away, and he just says he just goes away with sick leave!

Sha Cheng said: "The grandson in the old minister's family is very interested in foreign learning and asks the old minister to buy books in foreign languages ​​for him. However, nowadays, foreigners from different countries come from different languages, which makes it difficult to make a choice. If you want to learn, you are troubled by not knowing where to start."

Yinreng hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Khan Ama intends to send officials to compile a dictionary. After the dictionary is completed, he can ask foreign students to compile a foreign language dictionary on this basis, which means they may have to wait for a while."

Sha Cheng nodded with satisfaction when he received the news.

He was over the age of accepting new things, but fortunately his eyes were not blind and his ears were not deaf. He saw it with his own eyes and heard that foreign studies were rising with an unstoppable momentum. Perhaps in the next few decades, he would be the second only to Confucianism in China. Whether it is foreign studies or science, he suggested that his descendants at home learn more.

After comforting Lord Sha, Yinreng walked quietly to his office in the Ministry of Revenue, dazed while walking, and all kinds of thoughts were intertwined in his mind.

Yinreng: I want to change the bad habit of always staring at someone and struggling hard.

[Old friends always stare at one or two donkeys to stroke their hair. The donkeys resisted angrily and almost stomped their hooves and ran away!] Yinreng deeply agreed: You can't always stare at the old donkeys. You should learn from Khan Ama, be more versatile, and take care of more hungry donkeys.

So, we must indeed look at younger officials.

Although some of them are still young and do not have high positions, they are better at being young and energetic and have unlimited potential to work.

Just as he made up his mind to stop calling the old donkey, Yinreng saw the old donkey who was working hard in the Ministry of Revenue - Chen Tingjing.

Yinreng's eyes lit up and was about to say hello to Chen Tingjing, but Chen Tingjing turned around and left without looking back, saying, "I am very busy. Your Highness asks the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds and asks the cabinet to submit it. Only when the emperor issues an imperial edict will it be completed."

That vigilant and disgusting attitude broke Yinreng's Liuli's heart.

"Actually, I am just coming to you and will go back in a while," Yinreng murmured, lowering his head sadly and lost.

The left minister Jiang Hongdao wanted to speak but stopped, comforted him and said, "Mr. Chen is just too busy with official business, so your highness doesn't have to take it to heart. You usually praise your highness so much, and you don't really dislike your highness."

Yinreng: "..."

He said it, and he said the word "dislike" brightly!

How obvious is the disgust that even others can see!

Jiang Hongdao was blunt and had a very simple personality. Yinreng looked at him firmly, and the small light bulb on his head lit up with a "ding" sound!

Two years ago, he was promoted from a bachelor's degree to the Right Minister of Rites. A year ago, he was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue to the Ministry of Revenue to manage land taxes. In just one year, he was promoted from a right minister to a left minister, and he was a trustworthy right-hand man from Lord Chen.

In the future, Chen Tingjing will replace Wu Zhengzhi as the prime minister among Han officials. At that time, the vacant Ministry of Revenue will also need someone who can hold his money bag to work.

Jiang Hongdao only felt that the prince looked at him with a strange look, which made his back feel furrowed. However, His Highness said nothing, just smiled mysteriously and told him to take care of his health. What a weird thing!

After Yinreng left the yard, he was called back to the imperial study by the people around the emperor.

The third grandfather in the study room was full of pearls. At first glance, it turned out that the good news of winning the battle ahead was finally passed back to the capital.

The circulation of information was particularly important in war. As missionaries conveyed messages and joined forces with local Mongolian tribes to ambush together, the Qing army sent Rakshasa to the front line to intercept the army sent by the Kingdom of Rakshasa to the front at the lowest cost, killed nearly a thousand enemy troops, captured thousands of enemy troops, and captured their general Golovin!

Kangxi said: "Since the war between the two countries, the Rakshasa Kingdom has finally sent people to discuss. If we can use this to drive the Rakshasa Kingdom out of the Qing Dynasty and establish the border between the two countries, the border will be stable for a hundred years from now, and I can free up my hands to solve the current strong enemy Galdan."

"Fortunately, under this battle, the Rakshasa Kingdom will no longer have the opportunity to jointly attack Khalkha Mongol with Galdan. Selengsk must not be abandoned. If the troops stationed in it can win over local tribes, influence the Khalkha Mongol tribes, and monitor the movements of the Junggar Khanate."

"I want to send an envoy to Selengesk," the emperor looked serious and looked over Yinreng with a deep look, and said in a deep voice: "Golovin's status in the Rakshasa Kingdom is extraordinary. When peace talks, our country can use this to regain more territory."

Kangxi said: "I originally wanted to send Soetu to discuss as an envoy, but now the Tsarist Peter of Rakshasa Kingdom led his army to the border and threatened to ask my Prince Meiyu of the Qing Dynasty to discuss."

He was angry when he talked about this.

"I don't know when the name of Prince Meiyu has been known to everyone!"

The emperor frowned and said, "The Qing Dynasty heard a urgent report from the border. Tsar Peter has resumed his rule and imprisoned the ruling princess Sophia in a monastery. Now the spies sent by the Qing Dynasty have not heard of news for a long time. The missionaries who conveyed the news to our army have also been driven out of Moscow."

Yinreng was very innocent: "For the past year, my son was devoted to the construction of foreign studies and science. During the rest of the time, I was either teaching my younger brother or learning from the Grand Tutors. Why is the reputation of Prince Meiyu on the border? My son himself doesn't know."

The emperor obviously didn't believe his nonsense: "I remember once upon a time, you asked me to send you to the border."

Yinreng: "..."

Unexpectedly, the previous action of ringing the alarm for Khan Ama became an extravagant!

He was so nervous that Yinreng didn't let himself sweat. The most skillful thing he has since been in court was his skin. Yinreng himself has also upgraded, and he is no longer the silly and stupid person who writes everything on his face.

As long as it is related to the prince, any clues and details make Kangxi alert. He believes that he has a good memory and will never forget all the violations.

The father and son had been fighting wits and courage for too long, and Kangxi had long seen the prince's intention to run out for fun.

The little foal was trapped in the capital for too long and wanted to go out to the wild!

How did he make Tsar Peter remember him?

Is it a missionary or a preacher?

Kangxi could not speculate on these, but the prince under his nose could see at a glance that he was restless.

The emperor tapped his finger on the imperial case and asked about the opinions of the two important officials again.

"Do you think I should send the 'Prince Meiyu' to the border?"

Soetu hesitated: "This is a long journey from the capital to the border, and the journey is exhausted all the way. Your highness is a wealthy person, and I am afraid that he can't stand the fatigue along the way. In addition, the border climate is cold and the safety along the way cannot be guaranteed. I do not agree to send Your Highness to the destination. Rakshasa is a defeated country. Why should they provide conditions for our country?"

"Suo Xiang was surprised by this. Rakshasa sent the Tsar who had just taken power. The Qing Dynasty sent the prince to represent the emperor's identity. The emperor did not intend to have a complete affair with Rakshasa, and there was still room for maneuver between the two countries. There was a large army escort along the way. If the eldest prince could go to the border, the prince would be incredible?"

Nalan Mingzhu hopes that the prince will leave the capital, but he has been depressed in the court for too long. If the eldest prince doesn’t come back for a day, he will face joint suppression between Soetu and the prince.

Yinreng's eyes were filled with stars: "Ming Xiang is right!"

Nalan Mingzhu was grateful to the prince, looked at her own eyes, and in front of the emperor. Not only did he not feel happy to deceive the prince, but instead held his breath under the emperor's gaze.

The prince once again baked him on a fire rack, he must have done it on purpose!

In comparison, Soetu, who tried his best to prevent the prince from leaving Beijing, almost took out a knife and pointed it at Nalan Mingzhu's white knife into the red knife.

I can't wait to trick the prince out of the capital, why? Could it be that the old thief Mingzhu will send assassins to assassinate him?!

Yinreng continued to work hard: "My son is not afraid of the trouble of boats and trains. My son has practiced it and can easily lift fifty kilograms of rice!"

Kangxi: Da?

Look at him happily and expectantly, the emperor looked at him with dangerous eyes, but he didn't scare him, let alone look scared.

"Khan Ama, Erchen has grown up and can stand alone. Of course, Erchen also wants to do things independently like the eldest brother. Erchen wants to be the perfect and mature heir to the empire as you expect..."

The prince spoke affectionately, raised his ambitions in his heart, which made the emperor's serious reproaching expression gradually loosen and his face was moved.

As Yinreng spoke, he began to cheerfully say: "And you can't tie your son to me all your life. Should you wean me? Great opportunities are in front of you? When will you continue to stay more?"

Kangxi: "…"
