"I'm scared! Where's the infantry commander? I was so scared! I finally came out, but I didn't expect to encounter such a troublesome guy. Okay, now that we know whose family this is, let's stop talking nonsense. Old Ten, get down and stand by your ninth brother's side. Let the guards go over and finish the fight quickly. After that, send him to his father. Then we should go back. It's a waste of time."
If it were a competition of fathers in his previous life, Yinzuo would definitely not win, but in this life, he definitely cannot lose.
"Tell me, who on earth is so bold as to touch my son?"
Isn't it said that behind every naughty child there's an even naughtier parent? When Toheqi saw his son being carried back, his first reaction wasn't to wonder if his son had done anything wrong outside, but rather who had the audacity to hit his son. He didn't even consider whether he could afford to offend someone in the capital who dared to hit his son.
If he dares to be so arrogant, he must have someone to rely on. First of all, he is the uncle of the twelfth prince Yinlu and a relative of the royal family. Secondly, he is deeply trusted by Kangxi, otherwise he would not be given the position of commander of the infantry. That's not all, he is secretly dependent on the prince, so he must have some strength, otherwise he would not allow his son to be so arrogant outside.
When he learned that his son was dealt with by the princes, Tohazi's arrogant attitude disappeared in an instant. After all, he could not afford to offend any of the Sixth Prince, the Ninth Prince, and the Tenth Prince. After calling the people around his son to ask them about the whole story, he hurried to Changchun Garden to apologize to Kangxi.
Although Kangxi knew that Yinzuo, Yin'er and others had taken people out today, he didn't know what had happened to Yinzuo and others outside. When he heard Liang Jiugong say that Tuoheqi came to apologize, he was still wondering where the crime came from.
"Let him in."
After Tohazi came in, he first paid his respects to Kangxi respectfully, and then recounted to Kangxi everything that happened in Yajixuan today. Even if Tohazi had ten times the courage, he would not dare to lie to Kangxi. What he said was quite objective and rational, without any exaggeration.
"Your Majesty, what happened today is due to my failure to educate my son properly, causing him to offend the other princes. I beg your forgiveness, and I will discipline him strictly from now on."
It's only because Yinzuo isn't here, otherwise after hearing what he said, I would have to ask him what he was doing earlier. If you had disciplined him strictly from the beginning, you wouldn't have risked your reputation by doing this. It's like a car crashing into a tree, you know you're turning, snot running into your mouth, you know you're throwing it away, the child is starving to death, and you're having milk...
But Yinzuo was not here at the moment. After all, he was a trusted and confidant who had followed him for many years and was usually diligent in his work. Although Tohazi did have the fault of not educating his son strictly and allowing his son to run rampant, today's incident was nothing more than a little unpleasantness between a few children. Kangxi could not really punish him severely, and in the end he could only scold him a few words and send him away.
After Toheqi left Qingxi Book House, he felt relieved. However, Kangxi felt mixed emotions. Although he didn't want to admit it, the fact was that these Eight Banners children had become a threat to the capital.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, a special ruling system was adopted, which used ethnicity as a bond to firmly bind the Manchus and the Eight Banners system together. At that time, this method was indeed effective and helped the Qing Dynasty quickly establish a stable military group in the short term, but it also laid fatal hidden dangers for its later rule.
The hidden danger is the population problem. Although there were only about 300,000 Manchus at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains, the population grew rapidly after the environment stabilized. Although the Qing government also took a series of restrictive measures, such as separate Manchu and Han residences, restricting intermarriage, prohibiting bannermen from going out to work, etc., the results were minimal. As the population grew, not only did it cause an increase in fiscal expenditure, but it also triggered a series of problems. One of them was the numerous Eight Banners descendants in the capital who had nothing to do all day, like Tohazi's son.
Kangxi rubbed his temples and thought to himself. He knew very well that if he allowed the Eight Banners descendants to continue to be so lax, the Qing Dynasty would sooner or later be in chaos. But after thinking it over, he had no good choice and could only put the matter aside for the time being.
Regardless of how upset Kangxi was at the moment, Yinzuo quickly put the matter behind him after he came back. He had beaten him and vented his anger, and at that moment, he was directing everyone in the yard to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes for him.
That's right, it was scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Although he knew that tomatoes had been introduced to my country as early as the Ming Dynasty and were mostly grown as ornamental plants, he had never seen them in the palace before. Unexpectedly, when he came back from outside today and took a walk around his mother's courtyard, he found an unexpected surprise.
"Master, why don't we eat something else? This wolf peach is so brightly colored, it must be poisonous."
Dexi is now almost worried to death by his master. Not to mention that he just picked all the red fruits from the wolf peach tree in the courtyard of Concubine De. Concubine De would be furious when she knew about it. Just say that such brightly colored fruits are not edible at first glance. If his master gets into trouble under his nose, he will be blamed for his death.
"Don't worry, I've eaten this before, and it's not poisonous. Not only is it not poisonous, it tastes very good."
Okay, you are talking nonsense just for your stuttering, right? When have you ever eaten? As your personal attendant, how could I not know?
It's no wonder that Dexi thought Yinzuo was talking nonsense. After all, as his personal eunuch, Dexi was inseparable from him almost every day. Everything Yinzuo ate and used had to pass through Dexi before it could be delivered to him. So Dexi thought he knew everything about whether his master had ever eaten wolf peaches. But he never imagined that Yinzuo was talking about something he had eaten in his previous life.
Although everyone thought that wolf peaches were poisonous, they dared not disobey their master's orders. The scrambled eggs with tomatoes turned out very good in the end. Smelling the familiar smell in his memory, Yinzuo was extremely excited.
"Dexi, go get a bowl of rice. I tell you, this tomato and egg rice bowl is absolutely amazing."
Could Dexi give him this rice easily? Of course not. Even if this wolf peach was really as edible as his master said, he would have to wait until he had tested it before he dared to give it to him.
"Master, I have already had someone catch a chicken and they are waiting outside. Let's have someone feed the chicken first. If they are alright, I will definitely give you the food."
