After breakfast, Yinzhen received news that Prince Yu had come in person, so she quickly came out with Qingyan to greet him.
The two walked out of the courtyard and found that Yinti had also come out. After calculating the time, they realized that Prince Yu had rushed over on horseback the day after Kangxi issued the secret order.
Both Yinti and Yinzhen admired Prince Yu's character, and Kangxi trusted his second uncle very much.
“Little darling, your second aunt is quite capable. When the two tribes went to war, it was basically your second aunt who took care of the family!” Seeing the confusion on Little darling’s face, Yin Genjue Luo Shi quickly said.
"Yes, I know all this. Prince Yu and Father have a good relationship. I even met the Princess Consort when I was young!" Qingyan smiled. After getting married, her connection with Prince Yu's wife wasn't as close.
Yin Genjueluo slapped her forehead. Qingyan grew up in an environment that was definitely closer to the royal family than her.
"The courtyard has been cleaned up. Brother, do you think Second Uncle brought good news or bad news this time?" Yinzhen felt uneasy. The fishing village seemed to be an uncertain factor that could swallow up the entire military port at any time.
Yinti also shook his head. Only by truly fulfilling his duty to Fuquan could he be certain whether he could pass the test this time.
The carriage procession approached from afar, and both Yinti and Yinzhen stood at the door, waiting for the carriages to arrive.
Fei Yanggu and his two sons followed closely behind, and Fu Quan's arrival was undoubtedly a great boost.
The carriage entered the gates of the naval port, but the heavy main gate, which had just been opened, closed again within a short hour.
"Greetings to Second Uncle and Second Aunt!" Yinti and Yinzhen, the two couples, greeted Fuquan and Tuojin as they disembarked from their carriage.
Fei Yanggu and his two sons followed closely behind, paying their respects to Prince Yu and his wife.
After everyone bowed, Fu Quan finally cheered.
For many years, Fuquan and the deputy head of childcare have been in charge of two different aspects and have had no interaction. Now, they can finally get what they want.
"You rascal, we can finally fight side by side again!" Fu Quan said cheerfully, while Fei Yanggu had been avoiding military power.
After all, Fei Yanggu had been on the battlefield many times, and his reputation in the Eight Banners army was more prominent than that of other military generals.
"Your Highness, you are overthinking this. This servant is merely acting according to His Majesty's secret decree. I will not concern myself with anything else!" Fei Yanggu replied cheerfully.
Outsiders say that Prince Yu is a kind person, but Fei Yanggu is a Qin Chu, and he was definitely involved in all those things back then.
"Alright, I've come all this way, so let me freshen up and we can all have breakfast together!" Prince Yu checked the time; it should be breakfast time.
The four younger ones had probably already had breakfast, but he didn't care at all; dining with royalty was an honor.
"Second Uncle, breakfast is ready. Please go and wash up first," Yinti quickly said to Fuquan.
As they walked past the training ground, some of the cleaning staff were looking in their direction. Yinzhen's expression darkened; these people were clearly spying on them.
Fuquan gave Yinti and Yinzhen a look, signaling them to stop talking.
Before leaving Beijing, Kangxi had already said that there were other people's spies in the naval port, and they could not be afraid of them. Fei Yanggu came over to let those people know that the naval port was an important asset in Kangxi's hands.
After having breakfast, Fuquan sat in his study, looking at the faces of Yinti and Yinzhen, who had both become darker and thinner.
Their days at the naval port were difficult. Not only were supplies worse than in the capital, but the continuous events had left the two of them exhausted.
"Second Uncle, thank goodness you came. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do here!" Yinti said bitterly.
Before Prince Yu arrived, he made a special effort to find out that there must have been some secret information circulating in Anxian County where they were. Otherwise, the training window frame inside the naval port wouldn't have been exposed to the outside.
“Hmm,” Prince Yu listened to their report and understood the key to the naval port and the fishing village. Kangxi’s opinion was that there should be absolutely no civilian facilities near the naval port; otherwise, if the news leaked, their investigation would be too difficult. “The fishing village will begin to relocate in two days. You should not go out again!”
The prefect and others came to persuade the fishing village to relocate. If anyone resisted stubbornly, they would not hesitate to massacre the entire village. Now, they were sacrificing the interests of a few individuals to bring peace to more people.
"Second Uncle, is this done according to the suggestions I submitted?" Yinzhen had specially written a memorial outlining the various compensations for the relocation of the fishing village.
The fishermen will definitely have some negative feelings about leaving the place where their ancestors lived. If they can be given some financial assistance, those people shouldn't make much of a move. In the future, the waters near the naval port will be closed to fishing, and those fishermen will have to go to more distant places to fish.
"No, the compensation payment isn't shown." Prince Yu directly denied it. "Fourth Prince, you're in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, you should know the current situation. The Ministry has only recently begun to recover after several years of rest and recuperation. The previous years were filled with far too many wars!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fei Yanggu glanced directly at Fuquan. The battles he mentioned were all unavoidable; without victory, the Qing Dynasty would probably have perished.
"Old man, what do you think?" Prince Yu felt more and more that Fei Yanggu was quite capable. At this moment, he didn't say a word, but just waited for them to arrange everything.
Fei Yanggu laughed and said, "Now that you're in charge, I can finally take a break. When you were in the wrong, I was the one holding things up here."
At this moment, Fei Yanggu certainly didn't feel embarrassed. Fu Quan was a capable man, and it was acceptable for him to continue contributing his remaining energy at the naval port.
Pfft!
Princess Consort Yu laughed. Fuquan and Feiyanggu started bickering again. Every time, the two of them disagreed.
"You bastard, I told you to make a proper decision, and you've pushed all the blame onto the two kids, haven't you!" Fu Quan looked at Fei Yanggu, and in his eyes, Fei Yanggu's actions were simply hypocritical.
“Of course, Prince Zhi and Fourth Prince are getting old, and now we need to slowly cultivate their abilities. If we are no longer here in the future, who will be able to protect them? Why not train them now?” Fei Yanggu also had his own ideas. As he grew older, Fei Yanggu had been cultivating the abilities of his two brothers, hoping that they could provide Qingyan with the most favorable support.
Fuquan sighed. It would take them decades to retire. The Emperor would not let them off easily. In the position of a powerful minister, it would be best to devote oneself to the cause until death.
“Now that I’m here, you get moving! The relocation of the fishing village is something the two children can’t afford!” Prince Yu said directly, rejecting the idea.
