Chapter 139 Zhao Zhao ascends to power



Baoer's family was really happy, and the family even asked the kitchen to prepare a banquet to celebrate.

Yuyan also came back for this celebration.

The family had a celebratory meal together.

After the children and Yueyao left, only Baoer and the three men were left.

In the evening, several adults drank a little wine and were a little tipsy.

"Time flies so fast. We have been married for ten years. When can we really have some fun together as a family?" Baoer said unconsciously.

Maybe Baoer was too depressed to hold it in any longer, and he really wanted to go out and play. It was really boring to stay in Beijing all day.

Baoer had only followed the emperor on a southern tour a few years ago, but the emperor had other things to do and couldn't have fun.

If you think about modern times, you can go wherever you want, but it’s nothing like now…

After hearing Baoer's words, several men were touched.

Yinzhen asked, "Bao'er, have you felt bored these days?" The princes were generally not allowed to leave the capital unless necessary, and this also applied to Yinzhen and the other two.

"Well, it's almost the same thing every day, how can it not be boring? It's a pity that you all have errands."

Tong Jiaqingheng hesitated and said, "Why don't I ask the emperor for leave and accompany you to play for a while?"

"That's not good. This isn't maternity leave. What will happen to your position if it takes too long?"

Qing Heng smiled indifferently, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, my position is the lowest in our family. At worst, you can support me in the future." It's just right for him and Baoer to spend time together.

"No," Yinzhen disagreed. If he really let them go, he wouldn't be able to see Bao'er for a long time. He was also worried about Bao'er's safety.

"I don't agree either. How about you wait for me to tell the Emperor that I want to be an imperial envoy?" Yin said.

"Nonsense," Yinzhen scolded

Seeing that Bao'er was really thinking about it, Yin'er said, "Why don't you let Qingheng accompany you to play for a few months. It's a good opportunity to meet Nian Gengyao."

"Wait for us for a few more years. When the children grow up, you can go wherever you want. We will go with you."

"Well, then I won't go for now," Baoer said helplessly. She also knew it was not easy to get the two of them to accompany her. Maybe we can talk about it later when we have the chance.

"By the way, how is Dai Zi? After all, he is a master in making arms." Baoer asked

Baoer only remembered this person when she accidentally met Nan Huairen in the palace.

In my previous life, I heard that Dai Zi was very smart since childhood and loved mechanical manufacturing. When he was young, he made his own firearms that could shoot from a hundred steps away.

In the 13th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, Dai Zi presented the "Lianzhu Fire Mill" when he joined the army to Zhejiang and Fujian to fight against Geng Jingzhong.

In the 26th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign (1687), he successfully manufactured the "Sky Cannon" (also known as the "Mother-and-Child Cannon"). This cannon was extremely powerful and unstoppable, and Emperor Kangxi named him "General Weiyuan"10.

Later, he played an important role in the Battle of Zhamodu to quell the Galdan rebellion.

It is said that there was a man named Chen Hongxun, originally the adopted son of Zhang Xianzhong, who defected to the Qing court and held a high position. He once extorted a bribe from Dai Zi, but when it was rejected, he colluded with Nan Huairen and falsely accused Dai Zi of having secret dealings with Japan. He was only allowed to return home last year.

It seems that he also made a lot of weapons, guns and the like in his later years.

So Baoer sent someone to find Dai Zi and asked them to bring his family back and settle them down.

My daughter will attack overseas in the future, so how can we do it without weapons?

"He is a talented person. He has already improved the cannons imported from the West." Yinzhen had to admit that he was a talented person, but he could not be seen in public.

If it weren't for his daughter's great cause, he would have been handed over to the emperor long ago.

"That's good. We must hide him well. If we are discovered, we will all be in trouble. We must also hide those guns."

"Don't worry," Yinzhen is much more sensitive than Baoer in this regard.

Every time Dai Zi finished a finished product, he would have someone take it back and bury it somewhere when he went out to sea. The Qing Dynasty would definitely not let it remain. If discovered, it would be a crime of treason and punishable by death.

At the same time, Yinzhen discovered through Dai Zi that Nan Huairen had ulterior motives, but he was now deeply trusted by the emperor, so he decided to talk about it later when there was a chance.

He had already informed his second brother about this matter, and he also said to put it aside for now.

The emperor didn't know what he was thinking, but he was still reminded of this. He actually brought Princess Zhaorui, the daughter of Prince Li, to his side to educate her.

The princes, princesses and ministers were all in disbelief, wondering why the emperor was like this.

Some said that the emperor had chosen Zhaorui as the heir, while others simply didn't believe it, as they knew how much their father despised girls.

But this does not prevent the princes who have sons and daughters from getting angry. They also have sons and daughters. The emperor favored the second son back then and now he favors the second son's daughter.

Yong Beile Mansion

Yong Beile was originally very happy that the princes of similar age to him were eliminated, and the only ones left were some younger brothers. The emperor should have taken a fancy to him and made him the heir. Even if he wanted to choose a daughter, why not choose his own daughter? His own legitimate daughter was still young and just right.

But when he thought about the fact that he had no son in his backyard, he blamed it on his step-wife, Guaerjia.

This was the girl the Fourth Master had chosen for himself two years ago. She was a cousin of the Guaerjia clan in the backyard. Her father was a third-rank military commander and would definitely be able to help him.

Indeed, ever since he married this Guarjia woman, the entire Guarjia family has come to rely on him.

Unlike before, when only the father of the Guwalja Gege in the backyard supported him.

Thinking about how she had been married for several years and was already over 30 years old, yet still had no son, the Emperor must have chosen her because of this.
