Qing Dynasty: After reading my heart, Kangxi and the Nine Dragons are united

"Your Majesty, it's time to drink medicine."

Drink medicine?

The older he got, the more childish Kangxi became. He turned over a willful hand: Now the Imperial Hospital can make medicines with smaller tablets and better effects. He must have gone crazy to drink that bitter medicine soup!

But, eh?

Why is his body so out of control?

Is it true that when you get old, no matter how strong and healthy you look, you are just like an old tree, full of vitality on the outside but already rotten on the inside?

After abdicating for more than ten years, he watched the prince govern the country in an orderly manner.

All the princes worked together to assist him and shined in various fields. Even Hongxi grew up quickly and became an outstanding prince who was no less brilliant than his father.

Kangxi was very pleased.

He, who was not afraid of life and death, immediately became more optimistic: living one more day means earning more money. Living one less day means meeting his ancestors one day earlier.

By then, his posthumous title will be not only "Saint Ancestor", but even "Heavenly Ancestor", and all the previous emperors of the Qing Dynasty will have to smile and say that it is very appropriate!

To be truly happy is to live happily, and to die carefree is to die easily.

The only thing he was worried about was his little Eighteen. He was afraid that the boy was too emotional to bear the pain of parting.

He has so many thoughts in his mind, does Liang Jiugong know what is going on?

I am only afraid that Your Majesty is afraid of his illness and is reluctant to seek medical treatment, thus harming his health.

He quickly gritted his teeth and reminded again: "I know that Your Majesty is sad and angry, but the health of the emperor is related to the country, Your Majesty must not take it lightly!"

Sad and angry?

Kangxi opened his eyes unhappily, and then he was completely stunned: "Liang Jiugong?"

"It is the servant."

"But..." Didn't I find a reason for you to be respectable because you are a member of the party? How come you are not only alive, but also so young?

Kangxi was shocked and confused. Before he could ask, he felt a splitting headache and many unfamiliar memories flooded into his mind.

He was completely stunned.

Die and be reborn?

And was he reborn into the historical line that Xiao Shiba once talked about?

This was the first month of the 48th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi. Little Eighteen could not fight the disease and died early.

Kangxi was so upset that he scolded the prince who acted like nothing had happened. He was so upset that he doubted his life and secretly approached the imperial tent at night to look inside through the gap.

Kangxi was so frightened that he thought the prince was rebelling.

The father and son had a fierce argument, and Kangxi deposed the crown prince without a second thought. The eldest prince thought his chance had come, and he was causing trouble along the way. He spared no effort to beat the deposed crown prince to death.

He even said the stupid thing that if Yinreng is to be executed today, it doesn't have to be done by the Emperor himself.

Kangxi was so angry that he locked the man up in his palace.

The Crown Prince and the Da Qiansui Party, who fought the most fiercely, were both defeated. The position of Crown Prince became vacant, and the other princes finally saw their opportunity.

The Eighth Prince took the opportunity of the trial to show his goodwill to the deposed Crown Prince's wet nurse Ling Pu and win the hearts of the people.

The third prince dug out the voodoo figurine and reported the eldest prince for haunting the crown prince.

The eldest prince recommended the eighth prince, saying that Zhang Deming, a fortune teller, said that he had a very noble face. Kangxi followed the clues and investigated. Wow, the usually quiet eighth prince was actually so powerful?

How dare he step on his father to buy fame for himself!

He was scolded on the spot and wanted to put him in jail. As a result, the ninth brother took the tenth brother into the palace with poison to plead for his beloved eight brother. The fourteenth brother said that he was willing to guarantee it with his life, because his eight brother was definitely not that kind of person.

Kangxi was so angry that he drew his sword on the spot. If the Fifth Prince had not reacted quickly, the great general Wang would have been killed by his own father's sword before he was fully equipped.

The princes fought openly and secretly, with one drama after another.

The previous dynasty was also restless. One after another, people wrote letters to the emperor, saying that the country could not be without a crown prince for a day, and asked the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible.

This Kangxi: ...

What else are you judging?

He secretly regretted it, and felt that his decision to depose the crown prince was too hasty. The deposed crown prince was dumbfounded when he just said that and the crown prince's position was really lost.

After knowing that it was not that the emperor was unable to depose him, but that he just hadn't made up his mind to do so, he began to follow the path of a prodigal son.

Kangxi thought about it and felt that although the prince was not very satisfactory, he was still the best among the short ones. He had been carefully cultivated for more than 30 years, so he was better than those who only knew how to intrigue. So it would be better to reinstate the prince.

But this Kangxi was not as good as him. He was stubborn and self-willed all his life and he just wanted to save face.

She refused to open up to her son.

He regretted it but pretended to elect a crown prince, under the pretext of consulting the opinions of the ministers. This was to give the crown prince a legitimate reason to be reinstated, and to test the ministers' background.

Suddenly, something big was revealed, and more than 70% of the ministers in the court mentioned the name of the Eighth Prince.

Under his nose, without his knowledge, the unknown Eighth Prince actually colluded with so many court officials?

Kangxi was both angry and afraid, and he scolded the Eighth Prince on the spot.

He was accused of being born to a lowly woman in a treasury, and had always been controlled by his wife, so that after many years of marriage, he had no children.

He also scolded him for having lofty ambitions.

As for the election results?

Ha ha.

I asked you to choose a prince, but you chose a prince who is guilty?

The result is of course invalid.

The ministers were in an uproar, and the Eighth Prince felt lonely.

Kangxi suffered a stroke while angry, and he recovered a little in the first month of the 48th year. After opening the seal, he was busy settling scores, asking who took the lead in selecting the eighth prince when the crown prince was elected last year.

After asking a lot of questions, he finally revealed his uncle and father-in-law Tong Guowei and his childhood friend Ma Qi.

Is this okay?

Now that his uncle has retired and is no longer around, Ma Qi has become the best scapegoat.

He yelled and shouted, cursed, and even started to hit me when he got angry.

At first, Ma Qi could still tolerate it, until Kangxi brought his ancestors along, saying that the Fucha family was a scumbag and that none of them would die for the country on the battlefield.

God have mercy on me.

Ma Qi's father, Mi Sihan, was exhausted to death while serving as the Minister of Revenue in order to raise food and wages for Ma Qi during the siege of the Three Feudatories.

Isn't this just a poke at someone's feelings?

Sheng made Ma Qi so angry that he lost his mind, and the two old men started fighting each other in the Golden Palace.

Ma Qi was imprisoned, this Kangxi...

Kangxi didn't know where he went, but when he woke up, he became him.

He is twenty years younger, but has more diseases and many troublesome sons.

It was like the Qing Dynasty regressing to a point where it didn’t even have ships.

The backwardness made Kangxi's eyes go dark. He seriously suspected that God saw that he was too comfortable and happy in his later years, so he threw him back to the original historical line.

but……

Now that we're here, we have to make some changes, right?

In this situation, with his dilapidated body, he can't expect to unify the world in his lifetime. At least don't let the nine sons' struggle for the throne expand further, and cut off those historical tragedies from the root!

What about the sinking of China and the century-long humiliation? Don’t let it have anything to do with the Aisin-Gioro family!

After quickly setting a small goal, Kangxi moved his body with difficulty, took the medicine bowl with his left hand and drank it all.

Then he said to Liang Jiugong vaguely: "How is the former dynasty now? What about the princes?"

"In reply to the emperor, the ministers all think that Ma Qi has committed a heinous crime and should be put to death by slow slicing. The princes know that you are not feeling well and are deeply concerned. The third, fourth and fifth princes, who are knowledgeable in pharmacology, are by your side to examine the prescriptions for you."

"Just now the imperial doctors came to report back and are going to discuss adjusting the prescription for you."

Ok.

Kangxi nodded, and then asked: "Where are the eldest brother, the crown prince, and the eighth brother?"

what?

Even Liang Jiugong, the chief eunuch who had served in the imperial court for many years and claimed to know the emperor better than the emperor himself, was a little confused and didn't understand what the old man was up to.

Just answer truthfully.

The eldest prince was stripped of his title and confined to the palace, so he let himself go. He got drunk every day, and when he was drunk he either cried and cursed or dragged concubines and palace maids to bed.

Completely giving up on himself.

The second prince had put aside his past decadence and studied every day, often copying the Book of Filial Piety.

It's a bit like a prodigal son returning home.

Eighth Prince...

Liang Jiugong paused for a moment and said that ever since the crown prince was elected, the Eighth Prince had been bedridden and had lost a lot of weight.

The imperial physician said that it was a difficult knot to untie.

Kangxi looked over with a sharp gaze, and Liang Jiugong was so frightened that his knees softened and he knelt down with a plop: "I deserve to die, I deserve to die, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

It is impossible to forgive.

No one is allowed to sleep soundly beside my bed.

Of course, Kangxi could not tolerate his trusted eunuch being bribed by his son and becoming his son's spy.

When the three princes came back after discussing the old man's prescription with the imperial physician, they saw Liang Jiugong being dragged out with his mouth covered. The eunuch in front of the emperor was replaced, and Wei Zhu finally ushered in spring.

The three elder brothers were all startled, then quickly calmed down and saluted: "Your son greets Khan Ama, may Khan Ama be blessed with good health."

Kangxi leaned on the pillow and looked at the three men, who were much younger but did not show any pride or self-confidence. They were not as casual and free as his sons were in front of their father, but were cautious and guarded.

The old man's brows were tightly knitted together, and his dislike for Kangxi increased.

I treat you like this, no one else can do that!

Yes.

He refused to admit that this was himself, and only referred to him as Kangxi. And like Yinzhen, he did not hesitate to put the blame for the Nine Dragons' succession struggle on his failure as a father.

Feeling very sorry for the princes, he said, "Everyone, please stand up. Wei Zhu will grant you a seat."

"Shekhan Amar."

Seeing them all behaving like wooden figures, Kangxi was not used to it: "We are father and son, you don't have to be so polite."

The three were surprised: Ever since the crown prince was deposed, Khan Ama had learned the skill of finding faults in everything.

The princes were always blamed.

At the very least, the punishment is a scolding; at the worst, a beating.

No matter how serious the crime is, you can still be imprisoned.

The eldest, the second, and the thirteenth were all imprisoned, but the eighth was not, and he lost his title of Beile and his job. He was humiliated to the point of being bedridden.

Who dares to act so recklessly in front of the emperor?

Aren’t you afraid that the old man will get so excited that he’ll draw his sword and chop Fourteen, and chop them as if they were Fourteen, since the Fifth Prince isn’t around?

Your life is precious, you shouldn’t mess with someone with a mysterious reputation.

They were afraid that he would become Emperor Minghuang of Tang and surpass him. After all, although that emperor killed three sons in one day, he was also quick and decisive. He was not like their old man, who killed people and destroyed their hearts.

Under all the precautions, no matter how curious they were, the three of them just bowed politely and said, "Son, I will obey the order of Khan Ama."

Kangxi:......

I hate that I was reborn too late. If it was forty-seven years ago when Xiao Shiba was still alive...

The revelation happened in an instant, and the father and son were reconciled before our eyes.

Unfortunately, his little Eighteen is not here, so he can only rely on himself to change.

But it doesn’t matter. Isn’t it just doing the wrong questions again?

He can do it!

I'm very familiar with it.

Kangxi silently encouraged himself, quickly dismissed his attendants, and was about to make a partial confession.

Unexpectedly, that familiar feeling of suffocation came again. I couldn’t describe it, I couldn’t describe it at all.

I can't even write.

Whenever he wanted to write something down, his hands would shake like he had suffered a stroke. The three princes were so scared that they kept calling for the imperial physician, insisting that the physician take his pulse again before they could feel at ease.

What else could be the result?

It's simply that the emperor's stroke has not been completely cured, and he's so angry all of a sudden.

That’s why…

I beg His Majesty to relax and stop worrying!

But when Kangxi thought about the prosperous Qing Dynasty under his and Yinreng's rule, and then pondered the current situation, he couldn't help but feel sad.

His mother's.

It's already such a difficult start, why can't he even be honest? Why can't he just speak his mind directly and quickly resolve the knots in his sons' hearts, and why can he reform inside and attack outside when the father and son are of one mind and the brothers are friendly?

Seeing that his old eyebrows were twisted like caterpillars, the Fourth Prince sighed softly.

Finally, he plucked up the courage to step forward and rub his temples: "I know that Khan Ama is worried about the previous dynasty and his second brother, so much so that he has no appetite and can't sleep at night."

"My son is also a father, so how could he not know that loving his son is the most painful thing? But you are the leader of the country, and your health is related to the peace of the world. You must not act willfully, and you must follow the doctor's advice and take care of your health!"

After he said this, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince also knelt down and begged the Emperor to take care of himself.

There is no way to take the fast track of being directly honest and eliminating the barriers quickly.

Kangxi had to think about how to change the current bad situation and make the best use of his capable sons.

Change internal fighting to external competition.

Therefore, he just nodded calmly: "I understand, you can leave now."

"Whoo."

The three men filed out, and Kangxi was the only one left in the huge hall. His old face fell down like a door curtain.

The first day after leaving Xiao Shiba, I missed him.

And the child is still conservative.

The later years of Kangxi in the original historical line were not just bad, but a complete mess, okay?

He wanted to go back to his own Qing dynasty and praise his sons who had been ignored for a long time: You are all great, there is no intrigue. The Kangxi in the original historical line fought with his princes...

I don’t even want to say it!

But the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.

He woke up to the historical line after a good sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep again after several sleeps.

Instead, he dreamed that he had closed his eyes with a smile on his face, and was sent to the newly located Jingling Mausoleum by his children and grandchildren.

I just don’t know if it’s because I feel too much pity for my own misfortune and anger at my own lack of resistance in history.

In short, he was supposed to go to the underworld to boast about his achievements to his ancestors, but he was reborn in the spring of the 48th year of Kangxi's reign in the original historical line.

At the node after the crown prince is deposed and before he is reinstated.

Kangxi clenched his fist and said: Since we can’t go back, let’s work hard to transform this place into the prosperous Qing Dynasty.

Well, at least sow a seed of openness, science, confidence and progress!

If you can't confess collectively, try another way to defeat them one by one.

Kangxi arrived at the eldest prince's mansion full of confidence, and then the two of them started arguing?

News from the Qing Dynasty: The Emperor was scolded!
