Qing Dynasty: After Kangxi Kowloon heard my voice

Chapter 134: Clear Water Without Fish

"It was only after I thought of this that I decided to surprise them," Wen Yao smiled. "It was quite successful, but why is it possible that the credit is not stated? Is it because of the identities of Nan Huairen and other foreigners?"

"Yes," Yinzhen looked serious, looking at Wen Yao, "I know you are different from ordinary women. Your future daughters are just like boys. I know you hate those foreigners, but now... For example, naval warfare is where the Qing Dynasty is weak, and for example, the firearms you mentioned."

"The foreigners are stronger than us. They are too powerful. Once we fight, our Qing Dynasty..." Yinzhen shook his head. "Father, you can't risk the entire Qing Dynasty just for Dai Zi. You can only take it step by step. Maybe it's not too late now. As long as we can keep up with the weapons and train the navy, just in case, one day, Dai Zi will be able to clear his name."

"The Emperor has never rejected the West. The Qing Dynasty would not lose if it really came down to military strength. But between a person's grievance and the possibility of a war, everyone knows which to choose," Yinzhen looked at Wen Yao, "The Qing Dynasty fell, just because of firearms?"

"Of course not. I can only tell you the reality I know. You can analyze the specific reasons for the demise yourself," Wen Yao looked at Yinzhen, "I remember that I forgot which generation your descendants were. When the West attacked the Qing Dynasty, they had cannons and we had swords. Could we have won?"

"Second, the West used a kind of opium to disintegrate the Qing Dynasty. That kind of opium is addictive. They originally used this opium to get the people of the Qing Dynasty to smoke it, just like smoking cigarettes. Inhaling this thing makes you feel euphoric at first, but in fact it overdraws your vitality."

Wen Yao looked at Yinzhen and said, "This thing was very popular among the nobles in the late Qing Dynasty because ordinary people couldn't afford it."

"The rest is similar to the demise of other dynasties. The court officials are corrupt, and you, the royal family members, are inactive. Wait, let me think about what history said at the time. I should be able to recite it by heart," Wen Yao tried hard to think, not sure if it was right or not, anyway, the reasons for the demise were pretty much the same.

It's not wrong to add in things like backwardness, ideology, corruption, etc.

"Backward thinking and a closed-door policy led to a huge gap with the West, which meant that weapons were backward. In the late Qing Dynasty, there was corruption and even less concern for the military. The economy was backward, and there were external and internal troubles..." Wen Yao added everything that could be added. Whether it was right or not, no history teacher would give her a grade anyway.

This is definitely the secret in the exam paper. Don’t say too much if you can!

Yinzhen looked at Wen Yao with her eyes wide open and a giggle, "Oh~" It was fake, or... half true and half false. She probably couldn't explain it in detail and could only copy words from here and there.

"My Lord understands. Whatever you want to say in the future, just say it directly in front of the Emperor Father," Yinzhen felt that he could be less nervous because he thought that the ones who would have a headache would be the Emperor Father and the second brother, the Crown Prince.

Wen Yao looked at Yinzhen, "I suspect you are scolding me."

"You can take away the doubt!"

"Then let's just add suspicion," Wen Yao felt that she would save some face. Sometimes it's good to play dumb. "But, uh... I'm sad. Who am I trying to do all this for, uh..."

"Shed some tears, otherwise you won't make any progress but will regress!" Yinzhen shook his head with a look of disgust.

"Can you demonstrate it again?"

"Okay, learn from me, but I'm different from you. I always cry while hugging my father's legs. If it were you, you would do the same. Look at me!"

After Yinzhen sat up straight, he pressed his right shoulder down, slowly raised his head, bent his right index finger, and touched the corner of his eye with his middle finger. The corner of his mouth turned up but seemed to be a little bitter, "Why do you doubt me so much? Am I not sincere enough to you? Yaoyao~"

"..." Wen Yao looked a little fleshy but not that fat. As the saying goes, the beautiful Yinzhen of Yang Guifei was really like a pear blossom in the rain. How could she not be as good as the Ninth Prince Yinzhen? !

It’s time to complain. Wen Yao still needs to learn. She has made some progress, but Yinzhen is tired. “I’ll teach you later. You scared me today. You have to compensate me.”

"Wait a minute, now that you've finished talking, something happened to me today. Don't worry, I'll satisfy all your requests today." Wen Yao sat up straight, "Today I came out of the Qianqing Palace and went to the Zhongcui Palace."

"Then?"

"Then, Concubine Rong said thank you to me for enlightening her and making her no longer obsessed with the deaths of Prince Chengrui, Prince Saiyinchahun, Prince Changsheng, and Prince Changhua," Wen Yao smiled slightly.

"Haha... true or false!" Yinzhen curled his lips and leaned directly on Wen Yao, "She will fool you, and that's all she can do."

Wen Yao decisively made another note for Yinzhen in her little black notebook, and when she had enough black points, she would treat Yinzhen to a meal of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, absolutely!

"Yes, I realized something was wrong. Then when I saw her smile, that smile made me feel very uncomfortable. It was completely different from Rong Fei's smile before," Wen Yao said seriously that she was still very smart.

"She was responsible for the incident involving my fifth brother, and now she is happy!" Yinzhen chuckled, "Rong Fei's obsession will disappear if my third brother is rejected by the Emperor one day."

"You know?" Wen Yao really didn't think Yinzhen could know, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Yinzhen's eyes widened, "You! You don't even know? Don't you have that bucket?" He really thought she knew, after all, she found it out as soon as she checked.

"..." Wen Yao lowered her head in frustration. How could she have noticed Concubine Rong? The key point was that when she searched the gossip website, she didn't search who was behind it!

"Then I don't know...not this, you know? Then fifth brother and mother also know?" Wen Yao looked at Yinzhen and asked.

"Yes, the Emperor's father and his wife also knew about it, so they took action, didn't they?" Yinzhen looked at Wen Yao, "I told you everything, but I just thought you knew it."

"Look," Yinzhen looked at his wife who was really wronged this time. He thought she had helped, how could she not know, but he didn't expect that he had to rely on guessing to find out. It was no wonder that his wife's brain was sometimes there and sometimes not. "At the beginning, all the people of Ukuma were left to the Queen Mother, and the Qing Dynasty all belonged to the Emperor."

"Can Rong Fei and Ma Jia's people hide it from them?" Yinzhen leaned on Wen Yao, "You have been on the right path from the beginning. There is nothing in the capital that the emperor doesn't know. It just depends on whether the emperor wants to punish the criminals."

"If the water is too clear, there will be no fish?" Wen Yao raised her eyebrows slightly.

"I don't want to think deeply about this. Some people are greedy, but they are capable. As long as they can be controlled, they can be reused," Yinzhen looked at Wen Yao, who looked thoughtful, "Do you want to learn?"
