Chapter 115: The 115th Day of Wanting to Die

On the day of the Longevity Festival, the invited common people put on their best clothes early and arrived at the designated location before dawn. They were all very reserved.

My God, the Emperor actually invited them to attend the Longevity Festival.

Not only that, their children were also required to march in formation, and the court also issued them uniform clothing. I don’t know how many people envied me when I went back home yesterday.

"Oh, your Dazhuang is really promising. He even showed up in front of the emperor. He will become a high-ranking official in the future."

"Isn't your Erniu the same?"

Both families hid their smiles, but their eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy.

Soon after, the vendors stood at their designated positions and started shouting.

People started moving around, but in a chaotic and orderly manner.

After all, there are so many armed guards guarding the place, not to mention this is under the Emperor's feet, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly even if they had ten times the courage.

You have to know that the son of the richest man in Song Dynasty was beheaded, but he still paid money to the court to build roads for free.

They took a detour when they came here, but they were happy with it because it would benefit them after the road was repaired.

"Free millet porridge, free steamed buns, limited to one per person, first come first served."

There were palace servants in eunuchs' uniforms shouting and promoting the event, and soon the crowd was surrounded by ordinary people.

Although the weather is getting warmer, it is so refreshing to have a bite of hot buns and drink a cup of hot porridge for free at this time.

After eating and drinking their fill and getting ready, they were led by the palace servants to sit down at their seats.

Ahead was a road cordoned off by a thick line, and they sat behind it.

Then, after waiting for an unknown amount of time, someone came over and handed them something that looked like a palm, which made a sound like applause when they shook it.

What they found most precious was the fan in their hands with an exquisite figure of a prince on it.

Everyone was terrified.

Wanyu sat with the Guwaljia clan and received something like this in her hands.

She looked at the new thing in her hand and became more convinced of her idea.

It was him without a doubt.

Wanyu shook her back teeth, finally she found the culprit.

Wanyu stared at the little figure above, on which was written the words "Eldest Prince multiplied by".

Madam Shi, who was sitting nearby, was also a member of the royal family. She married Shi Wenbing as his principal wife, and was also the wife of the Crown Princess.

Her face changed and she put away the fan in her daughter's hand. Because there were so many people around and there were too many eyes to see, she couldn't say anything.

But there's a man on top, which is not a good thing.

"When it's over, I'll take you to see the Crown Princess."

Before Wanyu could figure out what was going on, the things were taken away by Madam Shi.

She nodded: "Okay, then shall we go into the palace?"

Mrs. Shi also missed her eldest daughter a little, and she also had important matters to care about.

It concerns the royal heirs.

It was heard that the emperor was very fond of Hongxi, who was born to his concubine. This made the Guwalja clan feel a sense of crisis.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dealt with the concubine's family, the Li family, some time ago, which made them feel at ease again.

But it is not a good idea for the Crown Princess to have no children after so many years in the palace.

Madam Shi held Wanyu's hand and said, "Don't think too much."

Wanyu's mouth twitched. What was she thinking about?

Let her enter Yuqing Palace to help her sister?

She has never been a law-abiding person since she was young, so don't let the Guaerjia clan be wiped out by then.

The opening of today's Longevity Festival was very lively. In an instant, everyone forgot where they were and clapped until their palms turned red, but they were still reluctant to stop.

This scared the foreign envoys who came to visit and sat nearby.

They knew that the Qing Dynasty had a large population, but the peaceful unity they were experiencing now was a scene they had never seen before.

Everyone was shocked by this scene.

Especially when the children, holding flowers, dressed beautifully and with big smiles on their faces, served as the opening guests and greeted them in a lively and cheerful manner.

It makes people immersed in this beautiful scene.

Forgot the hunger and cold, forgotten the war.

There is only this peaceful and beautiful scene before my eyes.

Some people couldn't hold back their tears.

Kangxi's luxurious and beautiful carriage was behind the opening procession. As soon as he entered, the host introduced and welcomed him over a loudspeaker.

As soon as the voice fell, the cheers and shouts from the whole audience made Kangxi stand up and wave to everyone.

At this moment, Kangxi truly felt what the people's will was.

This full sense of accomplishment brought tears to his eyes. Perhaps this was the seed of his ideal that he had planted when he ascended the throne at the age of eight, taking root and sprouting at this moment.

But this is not enough, the seed can continue to grow.

When the common people and nobles who were invited heard Kangxi's response, their voices rose again.

The emperor actually greeted them.

This is the true Dragon Emperor, who stood vividly in front of them at this moment, waving and greeting them.

After the opening, Kangxi was still upset for a long time.

The same is true for the people below.

Yin Zhuo was also moved and wiped away his tears.

When the various policies came out later, everyone was shocked.

Yin Zhuo was used to eating bran, so now when he looked at them he felt like they were just kids playing house.

Kangxi was originally very satisfied, but Xiaoliu kept saying that this kick was not done well and that part was not even, so he didn't know what to say.

"Shut up first, and wait until I finish reading it."

After Kangxi finished speaking, he covered his mouth with his hand.

But he could only hide Xiaoliu's appearance, but he could not hide his true thoughts.

[Alas, now we don't even have a firearms soldier, so we have no chance to show off our weapons. But showing off the Qing Dynasty's weapons would only be more embarrassing. It would be great if there were fighter planes performing in the sky, as well as tank soldiers, artillery, navy, army and air force. Now we only have the army. The navy can still develop, but the air force basically has no chance.]

Kangxi: ...

No wonder Xiaoliu teases him like that, he now feels that the army is scarce.

Sea, land and air...

Kangxi looked up at the sky. Could it be that enemies might fall from above?

But Xiaoliu said he flew in the sky, so the Air Force really exists?

As for those types of soldiers he mentioned, he had never even heard of the names of these weapons, let alone the people.

Kangxi still felt that he was a country bumpkin.

Just now, he even covered Xiaoliu's mouth to stop him from continuing speaking.

In the following time, Kangxi continued to reflect.

The ministers were extremely excited. They didn't expect that the Emperor's birthday celebration would be so beautifully celebrated by the princes and princesses. The Emperor must have been very happy too.

As a result, when they turned around, they saw Kangxi with his mouth drooping and his face was darker.

Everyone was confused. What happened?

After that, the emperor not only did not give any rewards in his speeches, but instead made higher demands, which made the ministers miserable.

Your Majesty, are you not satisfied with this?

Could it be that they are really wild boars?

The emperor is the ignorant wild boar.

Wild boars cannot eat fine bran.

This is all perfect, yet the emperor still has something to say.

The older you get, the more bad habits you develop.

Finally, there are advertising teams from various businesses, and the host reads out their names one by one.

When the businessman sitting below was called, his face turned red, but he was very proud.

Before, they thought the money was not worth it, but now after seeing it with their own eyes, they feel it is worth it.

This is a clear way forward in front of the emperor.

The ceremony lasted for two hours in total.

No one was willing to go to the restroom and stayed on standby the entire time, watching all the programs without blinking a single moment.

After the show, when the emperor and the nobles left, they finally stopped talking and started discussing one by one, creating a very lively atmosphere.

Now the people waiting outside were extremely curious.

Within half a day, everything that happened at the ceremony had spread to everyone.

People from far away places have also heard the news, and it is spreading across the country at full speed.

Yin Zhuo knew that this would have a huge impact, but he still underestimated the people's awe of the imperial power.

Kangxi was praised to the point of ascending to heaven.

Yin Zhuo also glanced at the snack bar, which was crowded with people and business was booming.

But their purpose is not for today's sales, that is all for advertising.

This was taught by Yin Zhuo one by one.

In order to deceive them, no, I put a lot of thought into it in order to make them pay for the advertisement.

Fortunately, it is a win-win situation now.

After the ceremony, fireworks were set off for a quarter of an hour, announcing the perfect end of this Wanshou Festival.

Kangxi was like he had taken stimulants and was in a very excited state.

"Xiao Liu, you did a great job. You have earned me a lot of face."

Wouldn't his reputation improve?

Previously, he was worried about how to integrate the Manchus and the Han people, but now he thinks that it won't be a big deal if there are a few more events and ceremonies like this.

Yin Zhuo said humbly: "It is all thanks to the support of the Emperor. My purpose this time is not only to win face for the Emperor, but also to let those foreign envoys and foreigners see the military capabilities of the Qing Dynasty and intimidate them."

Moreover, Yin Zhuo felt that Kangxi might not be able to wait for the third time to personally lead an expedition against Galdan.

This time, Galdan's envoy will definitely come here on his own initiative.

Kangxi patted his shoulder excitedly and said, "I didn't expect that you are so old and have done much better than your brothers."

Yin Zhuo was upset. You can praise me if you want, but why are you trying to drag me down?

"Your Majesty, I don't agree with your words. This is not just my achievement, it's everyone's achievement."

Yin Zhuo winked at his brothers.

Kangxi laughed out loud: "Good, good, good, they are all good children."

Yin Zhuo took a cut of the money and handed it over to Kangxi, which shocked him again.

Even Yinzhen was jealous.

Didn’t Sixth Brother say that he was the one who made the most money?

As a result, Brother Six took out so much money at once, and it was all earned in one day. How can he surpass this level in the future?

Yinzhen had a heart attack.

Kangxi was really impressed by Xiaoliu, how could he be so capable!

He is worthy of being his son!

The others were greatly stimulated.

Before, they were still thinking about supporting Xiaoliu.

It was not until today that they discovered that the waste was actually themselves.

Xiaoliu, can you please stop rolling around?

They are numb.

After giving the things, Yin Zhuo left quickly.

[Ah, the old man was crying while hugging me, it was so pitiful, I couldn’t bear to watch it.]

Kangxi: ...

He didn't cry!

He was touched that his son was filial and gave him all the money he earned.

"You all should learn from Xiaoliu. If you don't have a penny left, give it all to me."

Except for Xiaoliu, everyone else is a money-eater who only wants to covet his money, let alone take the initiative to pay it.

[Well, there is one more important thing. I have to give the 20% I took back to Eunuch Wang as soon as possible and ask him to hide it for himself. When he finds an opportunity, he will leave the palace and build a mansion. I will pay for it myself.]

Kangxi: ...

Yinreng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Kangxi said to him with a dark face: "Baocheng, when can you pay me 50% of the tax, I will be satisfied."

Yinreng said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely pay you everything."

"Humph, then you can't beat Xiaoliu."

The others rubbed their noses and knew that the emperor had said so.

The reason why they dare to make such a guarantee is because they really don't make as much money as Xiaoliu.

It was Wanyu’s first time to enter the palace. As expected, not only she and her mother stayed, but the families of other concubines also moved to the harem to some extent.

Led by the eunuchs and palace maids, they walked honestly and dutifully.

Suddenly, Wanyu looked up as if she had sensed something, and saw a figure flashing by at the end of the road.

Yin Zhuo had almost walked past, but as if he noticed someone was looking at him, he took a few steps back and then met a pair of eyes full of anger.

Yin Zhuo: !!!

What does it mean?

Is this the first time he meets this girl?

Wanyu couldn't bear it anymore. The culprit she had been waiting for ten years was right in front of her.

She shouted directly: "Yin Xiaoliu!"

Yin Zhuo:?

Others:! ?

Mrs. Shi: !!!
