Chapter 349 Fu Jin 56
Chapter 349 Fu Jin 56
The common people were terrified. They heard that this was caused by using the longevity cream, and that they could not live without it. Not to mention that if they did not use it, they would become like this, which would make them extremely thin, shorten their lifespan, and make their families bankrupt and their wives and children separated. Some wealthy businessmen and young men were terrified when they saw this, not to mention that some of them had used the longevity cream.
However, at this time, some people were hiding countless secrets in their hearts. They had come into contact with the longevity cream with their own hands, and now that they knew the truth, they naturally had their own plans in their hearts. So, they quietly left and looked for ways to solve the problem.
To this end, Kangxi decisively issued an order, claiming that this was a conspiracy by foreigners to invade the Qing Dynasty. But he also promised that as long as someone in the family was addicted to this drug, as long as they sincerely repented and confessed what they knew, the court would do its best to help them quit the drug addiction, but the process was extremely painful and completely free. In this way, the people below became more and more happy, and they hated the foreigners more and more. What's more, Kangxi directly exposed the sinister intentions of the foreigners, emphasizing that this land belonged to the people of the Qing Dynasty and would never tolerate foreigners enslaving them. It didn't take long for missionaries and other foreigners in the Qing Dynasty to fall into trouble.
Not to mention the shops of the foreigners. After Kangxi came back from outside, he found out the general situation. After Kangxi saw it, he felt more and more uncomfortable. He didn't expect these foreigners to be so ambitious. Not to mention, he also found out that these foreigners had occupied a place in America. He also found out that the original people in that place had been massacred and there were not many people left.
Kangxi knew that what they were doing was useless, especially for foreigners overseas. Now he looked at the wooden cannon in his hand. Compared with theirs, it could fire continuously and more importantly, it was very accurate. Not to mention, there were some other things. So Kangxi knew that Dai Zinc was useful, so he could only pay more attention to Dai Zinc.
"Khan Father, I have something to say. I want to go to sea." During this period, Yinzhen knew that there were great benefits to going to sea, not to mention that he also wanted to do something for the Qing Dynasty.
Kangxi frowned and looked at Yinzhen, and asked in confusion: "Yinzhen, why did you suddenly propose to go to sea? This is not a trivial matter."
Yinzhen replied with a firm look: "Khan Ama, I believe that going to sea can expand trade and increase national wealth. At the same time, it can also help us understand the situation in the outside world and enhance national strength. I am willing to make contributions to the Qing Dynasty."
Kangxi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yin'er, your idea is good, but going to sea requires careful consideration. We must be fully prepared to ensure safety and interests. I will let the relevant departments study and formulate a detailed plan."
Yinzhen said excitedly: "Thank you, Khan Ama! I will definitely work hard to learn navigation knowledge and contribute to the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty."
Kangxi encouraged Yinzhen with a smile: "Yinzhen, work hard. I hope you can become a pillar of the Qing Dynasty."
"Khan Ama, I also want to go with my ninth brother. I won't do anything in the court anyway, and I can help my ninth brother by going overseas with him." Yin'e naturally wanted to go too. So he said.
"Okay." Kangxi looked at the two people and knew that they had a good relationship, not to mention that they were relatively honest now, so he agreed.
"Khan Ama, I will bring my wife with me this time. In that case, my children will be left to the care of Sister-in-law Ninth. I hope Khan Ama can take better care of them." Yin'e said.
"What are you taking your wife with you for?" After hearing this, Kangxi felt that Yin'e was not doing his job properly.
"Khan Ama, the wife is very powerful and can help and protect me and my ninth brother. Not to mention, you can't let me and my ninth brother go alone." Yin'e was just talking, of course. He wouldn't let Qiqige be tired. He knew that Qiqige liked to go out and play, and this was a good opportunity.
After listening to this, Kangxi nodded to show his understanding. He knew that Yin'e and Qiqige had a good relationship, and Qiqige did have extraordinary martial arts, which could provide them with a certain degree of protection. However, Kangxi still reminded: "You must be careful when you are outside, and don't take it lightly."
Yin'e nodded quickly, secretly delighted. He turned to look at Yin'er, and they smiled at each other, both looking forward to the upcoming adventure.
On the other hand, Yinzhen also asked Kangxi: "Khan Ama, I hope to bring some trusted guards with me to ensure safety."
Kangxi thought for a moment and finally agreed to the request. He knew that overseas trips were full of unknowns and dangers, and only with enough people to escort them could the safety of his sons be guaranteed. So he advised: "You can take some good guards with you, but remember, you must not cause unnecessary trouble due to the large number of people."
Yinzhen thanked the emperor with tears of gratitude and said that he would act with caution.
After getting permission from Kangxi, Yinzhen and Yin'e began to prepare for the voyage. They selected some loyal, reliable and skilled guards as their entourage and prepared sufficient supplies and equipment for them. At the same time, Yinzhen also arranged the affairs of the mansion and entrusted the children to the care of his wife and other relatives.
After everything was ready, Yin'er, Yin'e and Qiqige finally embarked on their long-awaited overseas journey. With their curiosity and longing for the unknown world, they bravely faced challenges and searched for their own opportunities and treasures.
In fact, when Yin'e came back from the palace, Qiqige had already heard the news, and she couldn't help but feel happy. After all, she also wanted to get out of this familiar world and explore the vast world outside. However, at the same time, she was always worried about the children at home.
She knew that Qingning would take good care of the three children, so she decided to keep Shirley at home. Baishen was once a wolf cub that Qiqige brought back from the mountains, and now he has grown strong and powerful. He has established a deep relationship with the children and has become their close friend. Therefore, Qiqige believes that keeping Baishen can not only bring happiness to the children, but also protect their safety when necessary. In addition, Qiqige also kept Qingyang at home because Qingyang's favorite was her daughter Wuxiha.
"Mom, I really can't bear to leave you." Wu Xiha stared at Qiqige with his big watery eyes and said coquettishly in a childish voice.
"Mother is also reluctant to leave you, but you are still young, and mother cannot take you with her. You must have a good rest and eat on time, okay?" Qiqige stroked Wu Xiha's hair lovingly, her eyes full of reluctance.
In fact, Qiqige originally planned not to go because she was reluctant to leave her hometown and her family. But Yin'e didn't want to go alone. He couldn't let those little brats take away Qiqige's attention again since he finally got the chance to travel with her. So, he kept pestering Qiqige until she agreed to go with him.
Although Yin'e thought so, he was actually just as reluctant as Qiqige. They both knew that this trip might change their lives, but they also looked forward to new experiences and adventures.
Qiqige, the tenth prince, and the ninth prince boarded the boat, accompanied by several guards and followers. They stood at the bow, feeling the sea breeze, and gradually became excited.
Watching the familiar scenery on the shore slowly recede, the few people were curious about the journey, but since they set out on the road, they saw the Qing Dynasty going away in their eyes, and they also felt lost in their hearts. They didn't know what the future would bring them, but they decided to face the unknown bravely.
After several months on the road, the group felt that the scenery on the sea was the same every day, and after looking at it for a long time, they felt tired. Every day they could only see the endless sea and sky without any changes, which made them feel bored and depressed. They began to miss the prosperity and bustle on land and longed to reach their destination as soon as possible.
When they stepped onto the shore, they actually felt relieved. Although some people were familiar with the route, they were still nervous about the endless sea. They finally got rid of the long and monotonous sea journey and could feel the breath of the earth again.
On the Qing side, Kangxi and his men have been busy preparing for things since these people left. They hope to be fully prepared for their return.
Time passed quickly, and more than a year had passed in the blink of an eye. At the dock in Quanzhou, Fujian, Qiqige and her companions were wearing gorgeous Western-style clothes, but when they got off the boat, they immediately changed into exquisite Chinese costumes. Then, they sent an envoy holding a token to the government office not far from the dock.
"Okay, Old Ten, now that we are back in the Qing Dynasty, you two should be careful about your behavior." The Ninth Prince said helplessly. His teeth ached slightly, because ever since Old Ten witnessed some people behaving openly overseas, he no longer restrained himself. However, this caused a lot of trouble for the Ninth Prince. Since he did not bring his wife with him, he saw those exotic women overseas who were beautiful and charming, but whenever he approached them, he could always smell a strong odor that was unbearable. Therefore, he had no choice but to give up this enjoyment. But now back in the Qing Dynasty, Old Ten and Qiqige still did not care about him, the Ninth Prince.
"Brother Nine, this won't do. We are a legitimate couple, so what's wrong with that?" The Tenth Old Man retorted firmly. He believed that the relationship between him and his wife was legal and legitimate, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Okay, now we are back. I will leave some of the things on the ship to you. It is best to have the important things brought back handed over to Khan Ama's people as soon as possible." The tenth prince said to the ninth prince seriously. He knew that the items brought back from this voyage were very important and must be delivered to the destination safely as soon as possible.
"Well, Old Ten, leave the ones on the ship to me, but the firearms are always unsafe on the ship now, and it will take a long time for Khan Ama's people to get here, so the time is uncertain." The Ninth Prince responded after thinking for a moment. He was worried that the firearms would be risky if they stayed on the ship for too long, but he was not sure how to solve this problem.
"Okay, you two are thinking too much now. Since we can come back from the sea, there must be a way to deal with these things. I have people here in Fuzhou. Let's not go ashore yet. Wait until the government officials come here and Khan Ama's people take over before we can talk about it." Qiqige analyzed calmly. She proposed a solution, that is, before waiting for the court officials to arrive, her people would be responsible for guarding the ship and ensuring the safety of the goods. After everything is arranged, go ashore to handle the affairs.
"This is the best way." The Ninth Prince also felt that this was a better solution.
For these things, they waited here for a while, and only went back with them after the people sent by Kangxi came.
Along the way, the Ninth Prince had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He didn't know whether his decision was correct, but since he had made the choice, he had to bear the corresponding consequences.
Finally, they returned to the capital. The Ninth Prince looked at the familiar streets and crowds, and an inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart.
"Fifth brother, I didn't expect you to come this time. How is mother now?" The Ninth Prince said to the Fifth Prince who came to greet them while riding a horse.
"Khan Ama sent me here because of you. Mother is fine, but she's always thinking about you. And the children in Ninth Brother's wife's house are all fine, but you should have a good talk with Mother when you go back." The Fifth Prince said. He knew that Mother was always thinking about the Ninth Prince, not to mention that Mother was getting more and more angry now because the Ninth Prince had been away for so long.
Hearing the Fifth Prince's words, the Ninth Prince felt full of guilt. He knew that his departure had made his mother worried for a long time, and now that he was finally back, he didn't know how to face her.
"Fifth brother, thank you, I understand." Ninth Prince said softly.
"Okay, let's go quickly. Mother is still waiting for you." The Fifth Prince patted the Ninth Prince on the shoulder, motioning him to follow.
"Fifth brother, mother, you should help me more. I told you that I encountered many different things when I went overseas this time, and..." The Ninth Prince spent the rest of the journey telling his Fifth Brother about the new and interesting things he encountered overseas. He was narrating those amazing experiences with great excitement, as if he was showing everything he had seen and heard to the Fifth Prince.
"I didn't expect you to encounter so many things along the way. It's a blessing that you can come back safely." The Fifth Prince sighed. As he listened to the Ninth Prince's narration, he couldn't help but feel curious about the world overseas.
When they returned to the Forbidden City, the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince naturally entered the palace first.
