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

Strictly speaking, this was because Kangxi gained too much from the confession and reaped too many benefits from being open and frank.

I increasingly feel that sincerity is the ultimate weapon.

The result was bound to be an attack, and when he arrived at the eldest prince's residence, Kangxi was furious when he saw the drunk and unshaven eldest prince pulling his concubine to have sex in broad daylight.

That old man's mouth looked as if he had been smeared with red rouge.

He started by scolding Concubine Hui.

Then, taking the eldest prince as the radius, he cursed everyone he could think of who was related to the eldest prince.

They just hope to use strong medicine for serious cases, scold the person so that he will learn his lesson and change his ways, and then return to the glorious path of being an iron-hatted king.

I didn't expect that I used too much force and made the person angry.

He actually ignored the principles of filial piety and hierarchy and instead spit on his face: "You have the nerve to scold me! Now you despise me for being decadent? But you caused this, isn't this what you wanted to see?"

"I'm really confused, aren't you afraid that your good prince is too arrogant and willful, and listens too much to Soetu? You're afraid that he won't be able to accept advice with an open mind in the future, and you're also afraid that there will be trouble from foreign relatives, so you specially arranged for me to be the whetstone? Now that you haven't controlled the strength well, and the blade is bent, you blame the stone?!"

"I……"

"What do you mean by 'you'? Put away your fatherly face! Didn't you say that I have a bad character and a violent temperament... that I must not be indulged lightly? On the one hand, you sent people to guard me strictly, and on the other hand, you sent me a beautiful maid. Aren't you hoping that I will be at ease in the cage and indulge in sensual pleasures? I have already obeyed your orders, why are you so angry?"

Kangxi had never been treated so harshly by his son in his life. He was so angry that he said, "You are acting so rebelliously. Are you thinking that I dare not kill you?"

The eldest prince did not retreat but advanced, crying and shouting as he came up to him: "Come, come, kill, kill, kill all my clans if you have the guts!"

"I'm not afraid to tell you, from the moment I said that, I had no intention of living! Isn't it just a death? I'll go down to the ancestors and sue you for being biased."

"You are obviously a concubine, but you are still crazy and want to hold up a piece of dog meat that cannot be served at the table..."

Kangxi originally thought that the child had suffered a great injustice, so he just gave in a little.

As a father, even if you don’t have milk, you have to accommodate your own son.

Now it seems that there is no room for anything!

A small tree will not grow straight if it is not repaired, and a tree will chirp if a person does not repair it.

"Come here, drag him down and give him 20 strokes of the cane to sober up our eldest prince. Let him know that no matter how arrogant he is, he cannot call himself the master in front of his father."

"Whoo."

The secret guards showed up, dragged down the eldest prince, who was thought to be dead today, and gave him twenty good beatings with the stick.

Then there is the hangover soup and wound medicine.

He asked the imperial physician to take good care of him, and he would report back to the emperor after his injuries were healed and he had thought it through.

Ok?

Is there still a chance to see the emperor? Then...

The eldest prince, who said he was not afraid of death but was actually afraid of it, quickly changed his attitude: "Khan Ama, my son..."

"Shut up!" Kangxi glared at him with disdain. "Recover from your injuries and reflect on yourself. When you have figured it out, send someone to report back to the emperor. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving the eldest prince's mansion again in your life."

"What's the point of a wine maid? You bastard, don't even think about it. If you're imprisoned, you have to act like one!"

hiss~

The eldest prince gasped in pain and called out "Ama" pitifully.

At this time, Kangxi didn't even look at him.

With a gloomy face, he boarded the sedan chair and headed towards Xian'an Palace. As for the eldest prince, he had already broadened his horizons, and he just hoped that the crown prince would not be so absurd.

Otherwise, he would be so angry that he would die, and then he would really stop his spirit and attack with all his armor on.

When he arrived at the gate of Xian'an Palace, Kangxi was still nervous.

The emperor had been in the carriage for a long time, but he did not make any move. Wei Zhu hurriedly and carefully reminded him: "Your Majesty, we have arrived at Xian'an Palace. You..."

"Well, I got it."

Kangxi hardened his heart and finally got off the chariot.

Xian'an Palace is located behind Shoukang Palace and inside Changgeng Gate. It was where Keshi, the wet nurse of Emperor Xizong Zhu Youxiao, lived during the reign of Emperor Qi of the Ming Dynasty.

It has not been repaired for many years and looks desolate and dilapidated.

The deposed Crown Prince Yinreng who lived there was dressed neatly and had good manners, but his clothes were too loose and his eyes were dark.

When she saw him, the look in her eyes no longer had the admiration she once had. Instead, it showed a hint of strangeness and even... fear?

Kangxi's heart ached. That feeling was even worse than being scolded by the eldest prince just now.

In particular, he had measured the Qing Dynasty governed by Yinreng and knew how well he had done after he ascended the throne. He was highly praised and loved by the government and his brothers, and they had a deep father-son relationship.

In the blink of an eye, the child looked so miserable, with no light in his eyes.

But he felt so distressed that he couldn't help but speak frankly: "Baocheng, you..."

"I'm sorry, it was Khan Ama's fault. Khan Ama was so sad about the death of your eighteenth brother at that time. Seeing you expressionless as if nothing had happened reminded me of the time when Khan Ama was seriously ill and dying during his first expedition against Galdan. He was filled with fear. He was worried about the Qing Dynasty and couldn't bear to leave his beloved son. He was afraid that you would inherit the business at a young age and face many hardships. As a result..."

"As a result, you are just like that day, dressed beautifully, not in a hurry, and even slightly happy."

How do you feel about it?

Even after two lifetimes, Kangxi still has some resentment when he thinks about it!

Of course, he later opened up to his own Baocheng and explained many times that Chunchun was just a misunderstanding. He was overthinking and worried when he was sick, and he didn't think positively about anything.

Baocheng knew very well that he was a perfectionist and a little bit of a mysophobe.

He was afraid that the journey into the imperial tent would be dusty and would offend the Khan.

Happy?

My father has been to the gates of hell and is finally safe and sound. How can I, as a son, not be happy?

But now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, that doesn't stop him from bringing it up now, right?

result……

The imagined scenes of crying bitterly, bowing down, and the father and son looking at each other with tears in their eyes did not occur.

The deposed Crown Prince Yinreng looked at him with a puzzled look: "Khan Ama gave birth to more than 30 younger brothers, and Xiao Shiba is a few years younger than Hongxi of his son's family. They don't have much contact on a daily basis, so how can there be any feelings?"

"Even if the son's own son was sick, and the imperial physician tried his best to save him but failed, wouldn't he just bury him properly?"

"As for the fact that you fell ill on the way to conquer Galdan, forget it... It's too late to say more. Anyway, Khan Ama has already written that Yinreng was born to kill his mother, and that such people are considered unfilial in ancient times in the edict to depose the crown prince. It has been made public, so what else can your son say?"

It's already been convicted, isn't it?

As for restoration...

Yinreng had been the crown prince for more than 30 years and served as regent for several times. Kangxi could not find a strong reason to depose the crown prince, so he could only use the word "unfilial" to make a fuss.

Basic political literacy is still not lacking.

And you know how much truth there is, how much water there is, and how many people are trying to use him as a target!

Lord, king, minister, father, father, son.

In the past, he was in a lower position and had no power to choose, and it all depended on how Khan Ama arranged it.

Now seeing that the old man seemed to have some sympathy, he quickly put on a sad face. He said that although he had no rebellious heart, he was indeed too emotional.

Because he was resentful of Prince Ping and others for their abuse of Soetu, he deliberately found fault with them and whipped them. This was not the behavior of a wise crown prince.

After a round of harsh criticism and self-criticism, Yinreng begged for mercy with red eyes.

Whether they really wanted to reinstate him or needed a chess piece to balance the court, he had no intention of caring and no power to interfere.

"I just ask Khan Ama to consider that my son is the one that the Empress Dowager risked her life to leave for you, so please stop using him as a target!"

have to.

The father and son reconciliation, holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes, were all Kangxi's imagination.

The prince was hurt by the words "born to kill his mother" and became disheartened. He would rather be locked up in Xian'an Palace for the rest of his life than get involved in the troubles in the court.

Kangxi was so angry that he threw his sleeves and summoned the Eighth Prince again.

Good guy!

The boy was so drunk that he didn't know what day it was. He even scolded his father: "Humble origin? Haha, I can choose my origin. If you hadn't blinded me with lust, would I have come to this world?"

"And Fu Jin, aren't you just coveting Prince An's military power, but it's not easy to take it back directly? You just point me to him as your son-in-law, why would I do that? Hahaha, how fresh! The prince is getting married, and the wedding is held at Fu Jin's Guo Luomafa Mansion."

"And now you blame me for being controlled by my wife. Hahahaha, I want to stand up straight. Do you give me a chance?"

Kangxi:! ! !

As expected, he had no time to confide in these rebellious sons.

After pushing it, he found that not only the difficulties were like springs, but also the rebellious sons. If he, as the father, was a little soft, the rebellious sons would rush to his face.

They are all getting ahead of me and are trying to teach me a lesson.

snort!

After meeting and summoning everyone in person, only Thirteen admitted his mistake with a good attitude.

Kangxi simply let the man go to set an example for those rebellious sons. He told them that being unreasonable and unreasonable would lead to bad consequences, and that if they wanted to be forgiven, they had to learn to let things slide.

The princes must learn to judge the situation. Do the ministers still want to take advantage of him?

what!

When Kangxi heard about Ma Qi's rebellion again, he refused to tolerate him.

Anyway, I knew in my previous life that he was a traitor. He sacrificed the interests of the court for a few mink furs and let the Russian Empire take advantage of him. It was also written into history books, and hundreds of years later, the vision of the three emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong was criticized.

Tsk tsk.

How blind must you be?

Three generations of his family have been very fond of him, and Emperor Qianlong even promoted him to the Temple of the Worthy and the Good, allowing him to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Oh, and he was also given the title of earl.

It's not clear who the person is.

This Kangxi was even more so, he could endure even being beaten.

Thinking about the complaints from Xiao Shiba over the years, Kangxi was full of resistance. He frowned and said, "Before the public election of the crown prince, I specifically told Ma Qi not to reveal it easily. As a result, he not only revealed it, but also persuaded the court officials to vote for the eighth prince. This is also his first crime."

"Then his crime was exposed and I severely reprimanded him, but he not only refused to admit it, but also..."

"It is not too much to punish all nine generations of his clan for all his treasonous acts. However, his grandfather Hashun made many military achievements, and his father Misihan worked hard for the court until his death. I will make a break for him and only sentence Ma Qi to death, and not his family members."

When this order was issued, all the officials were shocked.

A particularly bad premonition came over me.

Well, isn't the emperor going to be the most benevolent emperor in the history? How come such a big Wuying Palace Grand Secretary was killed just like that?

The ministers were in a panic and could not figure out the problem.

But in the imperial court, there are only eternal interests, no eternal friends. Ma Qi has been favored by the emperor in recent years, and he is considered to be a leading figure among the Manchu officials.

There are many people below who are dissatisfied with him and wish he would step down and be replaced by someone else or themselves.

Even his in-laws and old friends didn't dare to speak rashly!

After all, the emperor's grace of not punishing others is already great. Now that I am speaking out against his will, am I trying to tell others that I can still be punished?

No, no.

No matter how important other people’s lives are, they are not as important as your own!

After swiftly executing Ma Qi, the potential traitor, Kangxi looked at the court, which had become as quiet as a chicken, with satisfaction, and asked the ministers if they had anything else to report.

Wang Xun, who vaguely sensed that the emperor's attitude had softened and thought that the prince's apprentice might be able to make a comeback, mentioned the matter of the crown prince.

Kangxi sneered, and his venomous tongue skills were displayed again: "I have only heard that a country cannot be without a monarch for a day, but I have never heard that a country cannot be without a crown prince for a day. Why, in your opinion, I am about to die and may encounter an accident at any time?"

wipe!

Who dares to respond to this?

The ministers knelt down hurriedly: "We dare not do that, but the selection of the crown prince concerns the foundation of the country..."

Kangxi interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Since it is so important, shouldn't we be more cautious? When the Three Feudatories were in turmoil, the people suffered. And there were many thieves who used the name of the Third Prince Zhu to rebel."

"After considering many things, I had no choice but to make the infant Yinreng the crown prince in order to appease the people of the world. Now that I think about it, it was indeed a bit rash and impulsive. The past is gone, and there is no point in talking about it. But I must not make such a rash mistake a second time. Otherwise, I will really be ashamed to face my ancestors."

Now that the emperor has said this, what else can the ministers do?

I can only kneel down again and apologize.

I dared not mention a word about it, for fear of being accused of cursing the Holy Saint.

Seeing this, Kangxi nodded with satisfaction.

Look, what ministers can't be suppressed? As long as the military power is in hand and the sword is sharp, there is no one who doesn't worry about the safety of himself and his nine clans.

After subduing his ministers, Kangxi began to make promises to the princes.

He only said that he was young when he first appointed the crown prince, and the situation forced him to do so. This time he had to be very selective and conduct a comprehensive investigation.

Choose the most qualified successor for yourself and the Qing Dynasty.

At the same time, in order to be fair, he also released the eldest and second princes, and included them with the eighth and thirteenth princes in the list of subjects to be investigated.

The eldest and second princes who thought they would never be released from confinement in their lifetime:!!!

I don’t know what Khan Ama is up to, but I do think he is a little crazy.

The ministers who had helped to overthrow the crown prince and the great millennium old man were even more dumbfounded. They were afraid that these two would revive, or even make a comeback, and strangle them, their enemies.

Memorials impeaching the two men flew towards the imperial desk like snowflakes.

Unexpectedly, the emperor not only kept the order but also turned around and raised his sword to the entire court.

Ok.

The old man said that he was kind in the past few years, and in order to sympathize with those officials who were in difficult circumstances, he allowed them to borrow money from the national treasury. For many years, there was no interest or profit. Now the landlords have no surplus food, so please pay back the money.

One notice and the entire court exploded.
