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

cough cough.

Or is it that habit is a terrible thing?

When Kangxi first showed this kind intention, only ministers who were in financial difficulties or in urgent need of money would muster the courage to borrow some.

But after a long time, everyone discovered that: the emperor really wanted to lend money when he had money, and he really didn't ask for it back!

There is no interest or profit, and no repayment is required.

Rounding off, what's the difference between this and your own money?

Not at all!

Based on the basic principle of not taking advantage of a good opportunity, more and more people are asking the national treasury to borrow money.

There were many ridiculous reasons, such as holding a funeral for an old man or raising a dowry for a daughter. Even buying an official position as a gift or visiting a brothel to win the smile of a beautiful woman were not uncommon.

What's worse, some people even used the money borrowed from the national treasury as capital to lend money at high interest rates.

They used the emperor's kindness as the basis for their violation of laws and disciplines.

Even comparison has become a trend.

It seems that whoever doesn’t owe the national treasury some money will be the one who is rarely sucked in a thousand years.

It is also a scene in the capital.

You have been enjoying it for so many years, and now the emperor suddenly remembers this matter and wants to urge you to pay it back?

Ouch.

The sky has fallen for all the officials in debt!

Who cares whether the emperor appoints a crown prince or not, and who he appoints as the crown prince?

They think about how to reduce big debts to small ones, or small debts to small ones. If they really can't make it, they think about how to borrow money to fill the hole and save their lives and jobs.

Kangxi was secretly happy when he saw all this, and regarded this as a test.

Ask the princes who is willing to take on this hot potato.

Ah this...

The princes were dumbfounded after being suddenly attacked and had not yet figured out what their father was up to.

If he further offends the ministers, or takes a step back, he may miss the competition for the new crown prince.

It's really a dilemma.

Kangxi, who mobilized all this, frowned slightly: "No? I have so many princes, but no one has stepped forward to share my worries?"

The Fourth Prince knelt down with a serious face and said: "If Khan Ama can trust you, I am willing to give it a try!"

How can you not believe this?

Facts have proved that this is the strongest debt collector!

I have a lot of experience.

Seeing that he took the initiative to stand up again, Kangxi finally showed his first sincere smile in these days of rebirth: "In this case, then this matter will be handed over to the Fourth Prince."

"I obey your order. Don't worry, Khan Ama, I will do my best."

Ok.

Kangxi nodded. Just like in his previous life, in order to allow the fourth son to do his job smoothly, he gave him a lot of discretion.

And he is indeed ruthless and impartial, without any mercy.

What royal relatives, brothers, brothers. As long as you owe money to the treasury, you must pay it back quickly. Otherwise, if the Fourth Prince invites you for tea once, twice, he might directly confiscate your property the third time.

You said that the Qing Dynasty was the Qing Dynasty of the Aisin-Gioro family, and the national treasury was the Khan's treasury.

My son doesn’t have to pay back the money he borrows from me?

Hahaha.

The Fourth Prince was delighted on the spot, and he ordered the guards to tie him up and take him to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. I'll give you the opportunity to vent your anger on the old man, and as long as Khan Ama personally approves that you don't have to pay back the money, the matter will be over.

But will Kangxi approve it?

Not at all!

Scientific research, fighting, improving agriculture, etc., which one doesn't involve spending money?

He was so poor that he almost saw stars. How could he allow his own son to take the lead in opposing the treasury debt repayment? !

He even wanted to personally beat up the rebellious son who openly challenged him.

With his support, the treasury debt clearance plan was particularly successful.

Then, before the Fourth Prince could finish his work, Kangxi inadvertently discovered the secrets of the Imperial Household Department.

Good guy, really good guy!

These corrupt officials not only reported the good palace artifacts as damaged and secretly sold them outside the palace, but also used the banner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do errands for the emperor, madly exploiting the people and then offering him, the emperor, sky-high prices.

He was an extremely poor emperor, but those corrupt officials in the Imperial Household Department had embezzled so much money.

This is simply unreasonable!

Spit it out, they must spit it out twice as much.

The Fourth Prince, who had taken on another big job, said: …

The happiness lies in clearing out these big rats in the country and purifying the atmosphere in the court.

Does it hurt?

The Fourth Prince's eyes were solemn: Khan Ama was using him as a knife, wanting to kill all the corrupt officials in the world, I'm afraid he never considered him for a moment!

Stop it.

From the beginning, he just wanted to be a wise king. It would be good to be able to use his strengths and serve the court.

After quickly convincing himself, the Fourth Prince plunged himself into the endless work of collecting debts and fighting corruption.

Showing his true colors as the cold-faced king.

His popularity among court officials, which was already almost nonexistent, became even worse.

Among all the princes, only the Thirteenth Prince remained the same as before. The rest were either chased to their homes to collect debts, or their relatives and followers were chased to collect debts.

I am so annoyed by this cold and merciless man. Only Kangxi approves of his performance.

so far so good.

Although the eldest, second and eighth brothers are now very cautious, fearing that he is setting up a trap for law enforcement.

He couldn't bear to watch that defensive and cowardly attitude. The fifth and seventh brothers wanted to knock on the wooden fish to show that they had no desire for the throne.

The ninth, tenth and fourteenth brothers are still working together to support his eight brother, while the eighth brother does not dare to act rashly.

Each one of them is not cute at all.

But the fourth brother is always a practical man.

No matter when or where, I am willing to do my best for the Qing Dynasty.

Following the basic principle of making more use of useful people, Kangxi also discovered at the right time that the Deli Yaga introduced to him by the foreign doctor was actually poison.

Without saying a word, he sent the fourth and ninth brothers to the southern coastal areas to fight drug abuse.

The two princes of No. 49 who received the imperial decree: !!!

I just want to ask if the old man’s stroke was too severe or if his brain was damaged?

How is this...

Just ask around in the city and you'll find out that there's discord among the people there!

But before the two brothers could go to the palace to ask the old man to carefully consider the matter, they were summoned for interviews separately.

As for the fourth brother, he was earnestly told about the harm of the rampant cuckoos in Delhi. He was repeatedly warned and told not to take it lightly and to eradicate the evil.

To this end, Kangxi also cited the example of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty.

He fell into such a bad trap, which is why he did not attend court for more than 30 years. He was like a completely different person before and after he became addicted to drugs.

This made the Fourth Prince indignant, and he vowed to complete the task successfully.

Kangxi nodded: "I am always at ease with you doing things."

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, the Fourth Prince knelt down hurriedly and said carefully: "My father-in-law once said that my son was frivolous and moody. My son has been patient and restrained for so many years and has never been moody again."

"Can you please have mercy, Khan Amar, and delete this from the relevant records?"

Kangxi raised his eyebrows slightly: It is just as Xiao Shiba said, every normal prince has more or less the ambition to rule the world.

The Fourth Prince is no exception.

If we delete the words about him being frivolous, moody, and the closely related words about him being useless, wouldn't it mean that he is very useful? Can he take up the entire Qing Dynasty after his father's death?

Ok.

According to the original historical line, it was indeed he who took over the throne.

He was also praised by Xiao Shiba for cleaning up the mess in Kangxi's later years and saving money for Qianlong, which was an indispensable part of the Kangxi and Qianlong prosperous era.

That's highly rated!

When Kangxi thinks about it now, he still feels jealous.

It’s just that this kid is too clear about right and wrong. He is more like his father, who wants those he loves to live and wants those he hates to die.

After the cards were revealed, Kangxi was a little worried about his character, and was even more reluctant to see the prince whom he had raised for many years deposed and imprisoned for the rest of his life. After the father and son had a heart-to-heart talk and untied the knot in their hearts, he wholeheartedly trusted the prince and stopped all his mischievous behavior.

The rest of the dragons all gave up, and even their goals changed from striving for the throne to actively making meritorious deeds to earn themselves an iron hat.

just now……

Frankly speaking, if Kangxi were reborn before he deposed the crown prince, he would not change his original intention.

Actively support his precious prince.

But fate played a trick on him. When he arrived, not only had he deposed the crown prince, but even the process of electing a crown prince had already ended.

The words that had bothered Yinreng for a long time had turned into a knife, printed on the edict to depose the crown prince.

A rift has arisen between father and son, and they may never be able to open up to each other again.

And the prince who has experienced so much is too paranoid and sensitive...

Kangxi sighed, looked up at the trembling Fourth Prince kneeling there, and said, "Did I say this again? Oh, I remember now. Many years ago, the Eighth Prince's handwriting was not good, and the Ninth Prince was naughty and didn't like to go to school. I ordered you to supervise their studies."

"As a result, you were too serious, which made Lao Jiu resentful. He was so angry that he shaved your dog hair, but you got even angrier and cut off his braids. You refused to admit your mistakes and looked like you deserved it. I said you were moody and told you to be patient and patient."

The fourth prince blushed: "Khan Ama still remembers it?"

"of course."

Kangxi's eyes were full of love, and it was not false at all: "Although I have devoted more attention to the education of the crown prince for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, I am not completely unconcerned about my other sons!"

"From your eldest brother to your eighth brother, when each of you was in a good mood, was it not me who accompanied you personally?"

There are pictures and the truth of this matter, and the Fourth Prince dare not refute it.

He just nodded sullenly: "Khan Ama has always been a kind father, and it was his son who was too impulsive. He shouldn't..."

Kangxi smiled and waved his hands: "Forget it, it's all happened many years ago, why do you have to bear a grudge? You are impulsive, and I have my own faults. I apologize to you and delete the record. Please don't bear a grudge anymore, okay?"

The fourth prince knelt down and said, "Father, your words are too serious. How dare your son..."

"As a father and son, what should we be afraid of?" Kangxi frowned disapprovingly. "From now on, you don't have to be afraid. If there is anything inappropriate or unsatisfactory, just tell me."

"I ascended the throne at the age of eight, and became a father in my teens. Whether I was an emperor or a father, I had no experience and no one to teach me."

"It's because I had enough of the neglect and indifference I suffered back then, and I vowed never to be a father like your Khan Mafa. Therefore, no matter how busy the government affairs are, I will test your homework twice a day. I will take you on tours in the south and the north to increase your knowledge..."

This Kangxi was a man of few words, and all his thoughts were devoted to suspicion.

Kangxi can't follow his old path!

If you have something to say, say it; if you have a cake, draw it.

Be determined to be a talkative person and try your best to change the nine sons' fight for the throne into nine dragons working together.

How could the Fourth Prince know that there are such bizarre things as time travel and rebirth in the world? He thought that he had finally seen the light after waiting for so long. After being heartbroken by his beloved prince, the old man finally remembered the good points of his fourth son!

He was so excited that he burst into tears: "Ama Khan, please don't say that. In my son's heart, you are the best Ama in the world."

"My son is very sensitive and thoughtful, and I am sorry to make you worry."

Kangxi hugged him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It is natural for a father to worry about his son. Besides, you have done a good job in clearing the national treasury debts and investigating corruption in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You can help Khan Ama relieve his worries."

"Khan Ama!"

"Old Four, my good son."

The father and son hugged each other and looked into each other's tears. It was the first time in their two lives that they were so close.

From this moment on, the already diligent Fourth Prince became even more diligent. Every task assigned to him was completed in full and in excess.

In addition, he is also very filial.

Even those far away in the southern coastal areas would occasionally send long letters to the emperor and look for all kinds of novel and interesting little gifts.

Then, not surprisingly, we discovered the huge business opportunities in maritime trade.

For the first time ever, they asked the Ninth Prince for advice. Before they even returned to the capital, the brothers' memorial on... setting up a maritime office to promote maritime trade had already arrived on the imperial desk.

Then why is Kangxi still hesitating?

Approved decisively.

By the way, those officials who had close ties with local smuggling were dealt with one by one, and those discordant voices were completely banned.

At the same time, he sent a letter to the Fourth Prince, asking him to follow the spirit of "those who are capable should do more work" and deal with the Jiangnan imperial examination cheating case which had just happened!

Even a donkey shouldn't be used like this.

Besides, he isn't!

Too much work finally overwhelmed the fourth prince, who had to do everything himself. He exploded in silence and learned how to divert the blame.

When it comes to business, the most capable one has to be the Ninth Prince.

This matter can be completely left to him.

The imperial examination fraud case is a national event that concerns the future of the Qing Dynasty and is bound to involve the entire Jiangnan officialdom. After all, he is still a little weak, so please send the tenth and thirteenth princes to help.

Thirteen is meticulous and can help him unravel the mystery.

Tenth brother?

As the prince with the purest bloodline in the history of the Qing Dynasty, he has a strong backer and an even stronger temper.

With him here, I guarantee that even if he blocks the way of gods, he will kill the gods, and even if he kills, he will create a clear and bright sky for the officialdom of Jiangnan.

In response, Kangxi just smiled and ordered someone to call in the two princes involved.

As the good brother of the Fourth Prince who has left a name in history, the Thirteenth Prince certainly would not shirk his responsibility. The Tenth Prince, on the other hand, jumped up and scolded the Fourth Prince harshly, with his resistance written all over his face.

Then, no one knew what Kangxi said to him in private after he dismissed everyone.

But in the end, he still got on the ship heading south with Thirteen.

As expected by the Fourth Prince, when he gets ruthless, no one will be tolerated, including but not limited to the Governor-General of Liangjiang, Gal, the foster brother of his Khan Ama.

He even tortured the man himself, and ended up getting some earth-shattering information out of him.
