Chapter 750: Asking for (Part 2)

It is true that when Nian Geng comes, the 14th Prince is seven years older than the 16th Prince, but when it comes to being smart, how can he get along with the 16th Prince? I don’t know if he is the reason why the martial arts young man plots, or because of the arrogant personality of the prince, he speaks very freely.

"Sixteenth brother, when I was young, I really didn't want to take you to play. I didn't have a cleverness and couldn't speak. If I hadn't seen you like numerology and music theory later, everyone would have regarded you as a little fool. Who would have thought that you would have the eloquence you have now?" The Fourteenth Prince held a wine glass and smiled at the Sixteenth Prince.

The sixteenth prince couldn't speak, but because his biological mother's rank was low, no one was willing to pay attention to him. Times have changed. Although he has not been awarded a title, he is one of the princes most favored by the emperor's father. Because he has no relatives and other forces, he has no hope of throne, which has attracted all parties to win over him.

"The 14th brother is hurt by my younger brother. I am still stupid now, so if you offend the 14th brother when you speak, you can't bother with me." The 16th prince laughed twice and said.

When the 14th Prince heard this, he glanced at the 16th Prince and said, "This is called not being able to say anything, and he would trap my brother in one sentence. It seems that as long as you don't point at my nose and curse, I will have to be 'a bit big'."

Seeing that he was holding the wine cup and not letting go, the sixteenth prince raised his wine cup and said to the fourteenth prince: "Today, my brother will also pay a cup to the fourteenth prince. I won't say anything else. When I was a child, the fourteenth prince gave me a lot of snacks for my brother."

The two brothers talked about the past when they were young, and they were smiling, which was quite good to them.

Cao Yong was by the side, acting as the audience, watching and listening to all this. This "good brothers" friendship was like a bowl of water mixed with soy milk. It looked like it was just a matter of the clean soup. It was not as good as the brotherhood of the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince.

Although the 14th Prince did not take any action, he also had to bear some responsibility for the death of the Eighth Prince.

The most rare and most vulnerable person's hearts. Without the assistance of the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince, the Fourteenth Prince lost his foundation and is now thinking about the throne, which is really the Mirror of Water Moon.

The 14th Prince said a few family matters before turning his head to Cao Yong: "I had hoped that Cao Yong would come to the Ministry of War in my early years, but later I hoped that you would go to the Ministry of Revenue. Now I really work in the Ministry of Revenue, and it is also a technician. Don't be upset, Cao Yong, maybe it was the Emperor who intended to let you go to the Six Divisions to experience it, and it would be of great use in the future."

It has been several months since the demotion. Is it a little too late to comfort me now? The Sixteenth Prince sat next to me with a smile, and looked at the Fourteenth Prince holding a relationship with Cao Yong, and it was funny.

Cao Yong has been in Beijing for eight years. If he was willing to defect to the prince and the fourth prince who was very kind to him was lined up in front, how could he get the fourth prince?

The Sixteenth Prince knew it and looked at the table carefully.

Although it looks like home-cooked dishes, the ingredients are very expensive and the sea of ​​delicacies. With this dish serving dish and the chopsticks in your hand, everything is not an ordinary product.

In addition, the fourteenth prince's doting on Wu just now did not hide it. The sixteenth prince lowered his head and picked the corner of his mouth.

Has the fifteenth brother been here also? It seems that the brother in front of him really regarded the fifteenth brother as his confidant. He was so confident in front of him. Do you think that he had won over the fifteenth brother who was the same mother as him, so he also put himself in his palm?

Cao Yong, while listening to the fourteenth prince talking about the military arrangements in the northwest, he sighed secretly. No wonder there is the saying "Don't eat or sleep" that spitting out stars while eating is really unhygienic.

Cao Yong has lost his appetite.

The 14th Prince was excited to speak, and kept a wine pot, and then gave it to the 16th Prince and Cao Yongman, saying, "Since I was young, I envious of the founding princes and princes. I rode the horse south and conquered this great country, which was the real Manchurian Batulu. In the early years of Galdan rebellion, the emperor Ama took several older brothers to war. Although it was not my turn, I also looked west all day long, thinking about the heroic posture of my father and brother on the war horse. Now in the prosperous era, I thought that in my lifetime, I would not have the opportunity to show great success, and I could only be bound by this in the capital. Who would have thought that Cewang Alabutan's wolf ambition caused the smoke of war on the frontier to rise again."

Speaking of this, his face had a more solemn aura: "It's so unreasonable to just Junggar, which is so unreasonable. When I heard the news, I really wanted to go on a horse to fight immediately and slap the bandits. I think you have heard that when the imperial court sent troops to aid Hami the spring of the year before yesterday, I handed out a letter of request for battle." As he said that, he slapped the table in annoyance and said, "Even those things that have been remembered for great demerits, have been dismissed from the title, and have been removed from official positions, can serve in front of the army, but I can only be detained in the capital."

"It's just a small scabies. If the Fourteenth Brother comes forward, then the servants waiting to make military achievements will drink the Northwest Wind?" The Sixteenth Prince became more and more excited when he saw him talking, and comforted him with a smile.

"A little scabies?" The Fourteenth heard this and lowered his voice and said slowly: "The Ministry of War has received the exact news. Cewang Alabutan sent someone to Tibet in November last year. Now he has occupied Ali, and can defend it. The wolf ambition is to stare at Tibet. Lazang Khan's eldest son is Cewang Alabutan's son-in-law. He detained his son-in-law in Junggar for several years, just waiting for this opportunity."

When Cao Yong and the Sixteenth Prince were both shocked when they heard that Junggar had sent troops to Tibet.

This is different from the previous border. Although Tibet has co-governance between Mongolia and Tibet, it has to accept the imperial enthronement and is a vassal of the Qing Dynasty. It seems that Cewang Alabutan wanted to learn from the earliest Mongolian Khan to enter Tibet, and wanted to make his own use of Tibet's terrain.

But he didn't think about it. Unlike Qinghai Mongolia, he has always been regarded as a disaster by the court. He has tolerated it until now because of the distance that is not easy to conquer. How could he allow him to separatist Tibet and become independent? Besides, with his wolfish ambition, he would not obey the court and recover the Mongolian tribes, and the possibility of confronting the court is greater.

If at that time, the Mongolian tribes in the northeast, outside the mouth, northwest, and southwest would be connected together, the Qing Dynasty would have to bear the enemy.

The sixteenth prince had already restrained his smile and said, "Does the emperor know? But what is the will?"

The 14th Prince said: "I got the news yesterday, but I didn't dare to delay it for a moment. I directly sent people eight hundred miles to Rehe. Calculate the time and it's time to be in front of the emperor."

Cao Yong knew that if Junggar entered Tibet, the day for the 14th Prince to go on war on behalf of Tian was not far away.

There are only tens of thousands of soldiers in the northwest, so it is not easy to defeat Ali, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. When the troops were dispatched and defeated twice, Lazang Khan could not withstand Junggar, it was the day when the imperial army set out.

The 14th Prince was about to get what he wanted and became the most prominent "General King" in the late Kangxi period.

The Fourteenth Prince seemed very satisfied with the reaction between Cao Yong and the Sixteenth Prince. He stretched out his left hand, pulled the Sixteenth Prince's arm, and said, "Sixteenth Brother, I know you love to listen to operas and read books, and you are the most lazy. It is just because of filial piety, and I am afraid that I will be bullied by Concubine Wang and the fifteenth brother, and I am very knowledgeable. I love Xinjue Luo Yinzhen here swears to heaven that he regards the fifteenth brother, the sixteenth brother as his brother and sister, and respects the concubine's mother as his biological mother, and makes contributions together and share wealth and honor!"

This was said loudly, and Cao Yong's heart trembled.

The brothers and sisters sounded like they were closer to half-brothers, but even though he was not sure, he was so good to the Fourth Prince.

This is just a meal, and the 14th Prince is going to stamp the 16th Prince.

Cao Yong glanced at the Sixteenth Prince. The Sixteenth Prince was so shocked that he was so happy that his face turned pale.

The 14th Prince talked to himself, as if he was moved by himself. He patted the 16th Prince's arm and said excitedly: "The 16th brother doesn't believe it. Cao Yong is used as an appraisal. If my brother violates his oath in the future, he will definitely tell me that I have good fortune and longevity and will not die well!"

At this moment, the Sixteenth Prince's face turned from white to red, and his eyes turned red. He looked up at the Fourteenth Prince and said in a hoarse voice: "Even if the Fourteenth Brother doesn't say this, my brother knows that the Fourteenth Brother loves my younger brother. In my heart, I also regard the Fourteenth Brother as just like the fifteenth Brother. No one has looked down on my younger brother these years, but today it is my brother who looked up to me, Xiao Sixteen, and in the future, I will take care of my fourth brother more."

The Fourteenth Prince was not a good word, so he said this for a while, just to wait for this sentence.

He was immediately overjoyed and grabbed the Sixteenth Prince's arm and said, "Sixteenth Brother believes in me, I will never let down the Sixteenth Brother!"

Cao Yong was next to him and was about to vomit.

Does this 14th Prince think that if he hooks his little finger, others will come forward and curry favor with him?

What a thing? If the Sixteenth Prince could be restrained by his words, it would be the Sixteenth Prince.

The 14th Prince still said excitedly: "I know that the 16th brother does not like to worry about government affairs. If the brother is successful in the future, I will give my brother an iron hat so that the descendants of the 16th disciples can share the honor."

It was already unblocked when he spoke. Cao Yong lowered his head and picked up the cup and delivered it to his mouth. It seemed that the 14th Prince had made up his mind to pull the 16th Prince and Cao Yong onto the ship. As soon as he said this, if Cao Yong was unwilling to rely on him, he would be his enemy.

The future general, whose guidance is this?

As expected, the fourteenth prince looked at Cao Yong as he spoke.

The Sixteenth Prince was by his side, and he could see clearly. He was afraid that the Fourteenth Prince would force him too much, so Cao Yong showed something else, so he hurriedly put the wine cup on the Fourteenth Prince and filled it with the wine cup, saying, "Don't say anything, I will count on the future of my brother's future."

With this statement, the 14th Prince was in a good mood. He picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one go...

After eating this wine until the beginning of the update, Cao Yong and the Fourteenth Prince had already fallen, and the Sixteenth Prince also started to have a big tongue.

According to the original intention of the Fourteenth Prince, he wanted to leave the Sixteenth Prince and Cao Yong to rest in the guest room here.

The sixteenth prince stood up and put it on his shoulder, and said drunkenly, "How is that? What place...this place...this is the golden house that the fourteenth brother has for his sister-in-law. My younger brother dare not stay. It's better to go to Cao...Cao Yong to rest for a night. That boy was timid and had something to say...this brother had to persuade him well." At the end of his speech, he lowered his voice.

The 14th Prince glanced at Cao Yong, who was drunk on the table and was lying on the human affairs, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I will send you back to the carriage."

At this point, he was already satisfied. He also knew that he would not become fat in one bite, and he had to slowly take care of the rest.

When he got to the carriage, Cao Yong opened his eyes. The Sixteenth Prince was not drunk and had a gloomy face. Because the coachman was the Fourteenth Prince's man, neither of them said anything.

After a while, when they arrived at Cao's mansion, the two of them were "drunk" and were helped into the yard.

Cao Yong sent someone to prepare a guest room for the Sixteenth Prince, and he and the Sixteenth Prince went to the study to talk.

He sent someone to send tea and sent the servant down, and even Zhao Feng asked him to wait outside.

There were only two left in the room, Cao Yong and the Sixteenth Prince. The Sixteenth Prince showed his anger and said hatefully: "I really underestimated him. I thought he was thinking about you. Who would have thought of me directly? A bullshit oath, brothers, are there bullshit brothers in the royal family?"

Although he is not as literary as the third prince, he rarely swears. It seems that he is really annoyed this time.

"First relieve your anger. What is the difference between plotting against Master Sixteen and Master Sixteen? If Master Sixteen really tied up with him and got on a boat, I could still watch Master Sixteen sink and I would have to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman." Cao Yong saw that he became more and more annoyed, so he poured a bowl of tea himself and delivered it to him, saying, "Drink a little tea to relieve your anger, and you have to think about something else."

The sixteenth prince hummed twice, took the tea bowl, and drank it all in one go.

"The Fourteenth Master is not afraid of talking to himself. The Sixteenth Master has no choice but to respond a few words. The key is to see what the Fifteenth Master is planning." Cao Yong looked at the Sixteenth Prince for a while, and finally talked about this topic that neither of them likes to mention.

Just as he wouldn't look at the 16th Prince's shipwreck, would the 16th Prince look at the 15th Prince's "shipwreck"?

The fundamental reason why the Fourteenth Prince is so fearless is that he has completely controlled the Fifteenth Prince.

When the sixteenth prince heard this, his anger decreased a little, leaving only fatigue, and said, "Fifteenth brother is confused, can this be mixed up?"

Seeing him like this, Cao Yong could only sigh in his heart. Some people were unable to choose, such as parents and blood relatives.

The Sixteenth Prince raised his head again, but his expression was particularly firm, and said, "Frue, don't worry. I have seen you carefully over the years. I will never implicate you for myself. I am like you in my heart, and I don't want to be power, just to live a comfortable life and have a safe family. But now that the Fourteenth Brother has made trouble, with his temperament, he will definitely have a backhand. There must be some confused people, and we will also be included in his followers."

Seeing that he was mentally strong, Cao Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, as long as the emperor and the Fourth Master are not confused, we can be peaceful."

When the Sixteenth Prince heard what he said, he laughed and said, "Furuo, you always say you don't occupy the team, but in fact you made a decision many years ago."

Cao Yong raised his eyebrows and said helplessly, "The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring; this life-saving kindness is naturally as heavy as Mount Tai."

The Sixteenth Prince didn't believe it was just this reason. He didn't ask much, raised his head and sighed: "A iron hat flew like this, I really can't bear to leave it."

Cao Yong smiled and patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "The Sixteenth Master puts his heart in his stomach. It's the Sixteenth Master's, and even the Sixteenth Master's, he can't escape."

While talking and joking, I went away from the depression just now.

But when he remembered the military situation that the 14th Prince said, the 16th Prince couldn't help but frown and looked at Cao Yong and said, "If Junggar really sent troops to occupy Tibet, it would not be a matter of tens of thousands of troops. The Eight Banners army must be dispatched. Furuo, you have to think about this way to make money."

When Cao Yong heard this, his eyes lit up and asked, "Sixteenth Master, the war in the northwest is imminent. Even if I come up with the idea of ​​a small fuss and make a few dollars, it is just a drop in the bucket. Even if the court is poor, it is still the court. Without me, Cao Yong, who will follow the trouble, the war can still be persisted."

The sixteenth prince looked at Cao Yong carefully and asked, "Furuo means that if you have a way to make money, you will take hard work and can't you register the cash soon?"

Cao Yong nodded and said, "That's true. When I heard about Tibet today, I had a thought in my mind. If it really works, I would use the 100,000 gold in the inner treasury as the principal, within three or five years, there would be several times the profit."

"Ah?" The sixteenth prince couldn't help but say in surprise when he heard this: "What's the best way? Tell me quickly."

He knew that Cao Yong was a little smarter, and he was not a businessman. He was taking advantage of the situation whether it was bidding or bidding by the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Ministry of Sects. He was the same as Cao Yong's moji several times these days, and he didn't expect him to make a lot of money. He just thought that he would make small fuss and save his holy heart from losing.

"The Sixteenth Prince, there is a Gentile in the south of Tibet, called India." Cao Yong said: "I told Master Sixteenth before that why the British company is called East India Company? It is because India is a British colony. Because it is far apart, I don't know what political control there is in India. The economy is designated to be controlled by the British."

After hearing this, the sixteenth prince disagreed and said, "Even if there are British merchants doing business in India, what can they say? How can merchants become Lu Buwei?"

"Sixteenth Master, leaving his hometown, how can foreign businessmen gain a foothold in another place?" Cao Yong asked.

"Maybe it's good quality and low price." The Sixteenth Prince hesitated for a moment and replied.

"It's the army, with foreign guns and cannons protecting them, British merchants can eat away India, which is half the place of the Qing Dynasty." Cao Yong couldn't remember the history of Britain's colonial history, but he knew the information of the East India Company. He asked Wei Xin to pay attention to these a few years ago in Guangzhou.

Seeing that Cao Yong was solemn, the sixteenth prince was puzzled and said, "The British occupied India, what is the relationship between the two Furuo's deal?"

"Tea, from India to Europe, set up a tea ceremony." Cao Yong said.

He felt a little excited. Instead of preventing problems before they happened, fearing opium like a tiger, and waiting for foreigners' foreign guns and cannon gates, it is better to go out.

There is a reason why tea can surpass coffee and cocoa to become the world's number one beverage.

According to later understanding, tea can provide the nutrition needed by the body.

"Make money from foreigners?" The sixteenth prince listened, and his eyes began to shiny: "Good idea, foreigners are rich, and there are many exquisite things. Furuo, your nickname "Tea Boy" is about to become famous overseas."

Cao Yong smiled and said that foreigners dumped opium into China because of the trade deficit between the East and the West. What would have happened if China went out early and kept the enemy out of the country?

Tu Mei destroyed the Japanese, which was the theme of the school forum hundreds of years later. Cao Yong had passed his youthful and arrogant age, but he just wanted to make his existence in this life a little meaningful.

The existence of human beings is not just killing, although this is a world where the strong prey on the weak...
