Chapter 114 Not bad, not bad, the scolding from brothers 5 and 6 was not in vain!
It's already fifteen or sixteen, can't someone pull this chatterbox aside?
If he continues to yell, they will die here today!
The prince was not only worried about the two of them, he was also worried that his father would have a stroke out of anger.
He quickly pushed the little culprit and said, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and help him. If you delay for a while, you may not have a brother from the same mother anymore."
Ah this...
Before Yinxuan could react, he was pushed in front of his father Kangxi.
He was so scared that he hugged the other's thigh tightly: "Khan Ama, save my brother! What child doesn't like to play? Brother Fifteen and Brother Sixteen were just a little lazy, it's not a crime punishable by death!"
Fifteen and sixteen are all crying, is this his real brother?
Right?
How come...it seems like he wants to kill them!
Yinzhen seemed to realize that what he said was inappropriate, and he quickly smiled at Kangxi in a flattering way, revealing his small gap teeth: "Hehe, after all, a dragon gives birth to nine sons, and each one is different. You can't expect us to be like our third brother, born like the God of Literature, right?"
"These ministers, especially the civil ministers, are all selected after passing the examination every three years to help you govern the Qing Dynasty. If you want the Qing Dynasty to last forever, you should encourage them well. They are specialized in their fields."
The ministers who just tried hard to hold back their laughter and silently watched the fight between the royal father and son: !!!
Eighteenth Master, you have no moral principles. In order to save your brother, you put us, the weak subjects, in danger.
But can they cry in the hall like the two second brothers did on fifteen and sixteen?
No.
They even dared not show any resentment when the emperor's angry eyes turned to them. They had to kneel down passionately, expressing their willingness to serve the Qing Dynasty and the emperor until their death.
Take on various heavy responsibilities.
As a civil servant, I fought my way to the top three.
He took the examination again and became a scholar-official and entered the Hanlin Academy.
How many years of ups and downs in officialdom must one have before one can have a seat in this court?
They are all veteran actors and they know how to please the emperor.
It's a pity that Kangxi almost exploded yesterday after hearing the news that his imperial mausoleum was blown up. He was in a daze all night and couldn't sleep. His dreams were full of artillery fire and earth-shaking.
A group of foreigners broke into his underground palace with smiles on their faces and looted it wantonly, even taking the jade cicada in his mouth.
After looting everything, they dumped his body at random...
cough cough.
Since Yinzhen did not mention the name of the tomb robber, Kangxi naturally connected the context and put the blame on the allied forces.
Naturally, he was angry and mad, but also filled with deep fear. He was afraid that the Nine Dragons would not succeed and would not be able to change the future situation. The century-old humiliation would reappear, and everything in his dream would become a reality.
That's why he can't suppress his anger, and he won't just back down just because someone pats him on the back.
Instead, he glanced at them coldly and said, "I have heard too many expressions of loyalty. Even Oboi, Suo Etu and others were loyal and made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty! This did not prevent them from taking credit for themselves and abusing their power to interfere in government affairs."
"Rather than speaking, I would rather see what you do."
"I am staying in Changchun Garden temporarily this time, and you have behaved very well. You have been really conscientious and have done your best to cooperate with the Crown Prince. You should continue to work hard and be diligent in the future."
Although Xiao Shiba always suddenly said something that made him so angry that he died on the spot.
But he is his biological son after all, Zhen Fuxing.
Of course, Kangxi would not really follow his words and vent his anger on his ministers, causing him to be hated from then on.
But knock it first.
He said that although he was in Changchun Garden, he did not neglect the affairs of the capital. He even watched the crown prince govern the country, and he reflected a lot: "The world has been peaceful for a long time, and I have been too obsessed with the word benevolence. I have not been decisive in governing, and I have even forgotten the truth that we are born in adversity and die in comfort."
"Fortunately, it is not too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost. You and I, the king and the minister, can still work together and work hard to govern the country..."
The ministers were dumbfounded: How could this development become more and more unusual? Your Majesty, please wake up. You must not give up your dream of becoming the most benevolent emperor in history!
However, before they could finish their words, the prince knelt down first and said, "I am not a talented son, but I am willing to work together with Khan Ama and his son to create a prosperous Qing Dynasty."
The eldest prince and others also knelt down quickly, and his son did the same.
There is no way. Although following the trend is not as good as being original, we can’t not follow the trend at all!
Ok.
Kangxi nodded with satisfaction, and then fired the first shot of rectification: a strict investigation of the Eight Banners.
The emperor said that he was so tight-lipped that if he slacked off for a few days, the princes would slack off in front of him. Shouldn't the Eight Banners children who were born with land, housing, money and food be freed?
[Wow! Kangxi's father actually thought of the Eight Banners? Not bad, not bad, the scolding from the fifteenth and sixteenth brothers was not in vain!]
[Aren’t those hardcore farmers like that?]
[Born superior, they don’t have to farm, do business, or take the imperial examinations. They just have to relax and play. When they reach the age to fill vacancies, they spend some money to pass the exams and then they can eat the emperor’s food. The salary is very high, but the ability is not very good. Forget about fighting. During the Qianlong period, there were military officers who couldn’t get on the horse~]
[The worst thing is that Manchu men can fill vacancies, and women can be selected in the imperial selection. If they accidentally get favored, they can bring the whole family to prosperity. Therefore, they thoroughly implemented the idea of having many children, so the number of children increased exponentially. Didn't they gradually become a heavy burden for the court? Well, it was heavier than the Ming Dynasty royal family...]
Well, that’s great!
Kangxi gritted his teeth, and his mood, which had just calmed down a little, became worse again.
This time it concerns the foundation of the country, and no matter how excited Little Eighteen was, the Crown Prince and the other princes did not dare to try to interrupt him.
But they didn't dare, while the old princes and nobles were fearless. They knelt down tremblingly and told in detail about their own and their ancestors' merits in following the emperor, and the late emperor's heart to support the Eight Banners.
In the past, Kangxi was still determined to become the most benevolent emperor in the country.
He would have to step down from the throne and help these old subordinates and elders up with a smile on his face. Not only would he not get anything done, he might also have to pay out of his own pocket to give them another wave of rewards.
Now, if he doesn't work hard, his imperial tomb will be blown up and his body will be gone. Who will be left with good care?
He glared at them coldly and said, "What are you doing? I only said that we should conduct a strict investigation on the children of the Eight Banners, lest they become arrogant after being pampered for too long and bring disgrace to our ancestors. At most, we will remove the dross and retain the essence, and it won't affect all the Eight Banners. Is it worth your efforts to stop it?"
The people who were asked stammered for a while and just smiled awkwardly: "We are also thinking about the emperor, and we are afraid of hurting your reputation."
Ha ha.
Kangxi sneered, indicating that he appreciated the good intention, but it was unnecessary.
He had learned his lesson and decided not to pursue the so-called reputation of benevolence any more. He only wanted to work with the Crown Prince, other princes, and other civil and military officials to rule the Qing Dynasty.
