Prince of the Qing Dynasty

Yinfeng didn't intend to hide it from Kangxi at first, but when he heard Kangxi ask him, he took out Zhu Fangdan's book from his bosom and handed it to Kangxi: "Huang Ama, I saw this book, and then told Zhu Fangdan I was very interested, so I went out of the palace to find my uncle and grandpa, and asked him to take me to see Zhu Fangdan."

"Why didn't you come to see me?" Kangxi laughed, "But you were right not to come to me. I can do anything for you. But if you want me to let you go to see Zhu Fangdan, that is absolutely impossible."

Kangxi took the book by Zhu Fangdan that Yinreng had taken out, put it in his hand and flipped through it, he was a little disgusted that the book was crumpled, so he put it down after reading two pages, raised his eyes and asked Yinreng again: " Where did you get this book? Who told you about Zhu Fangdan?"

"This," Yinfeng pondered for a while, remembering his promise to Yinzhi, and did not answer Kangxi's question truthfully, "Huang Ama, this son can't say anything."

"Can't tell?" Kangxi laughed and said, "Do you think I won't be able to find out if you don't tell? I'm asking you to give you a chance to confess yourself."

Yinfeng was not sure about Kangxi's attitude, nor did he know how much Kangxi knew, but he had no intention of changing his words: "Huang Ama, my son knows that you can find out. But it's one thing for you to find out, son. It’s another thing not to be able to say. If you want to investigate, my son can’t stop me, but if my son promised, my son can’t say it, please forgive me Huang Ama.”

"You are really stubborn! Forget it, I didn't even think about looking it up, and the origin of this book is not that important to me. Besides, from what you said, I can more or less judge something. matter."

Kangxi didn't want to send someone to investigate, not because he was completely uninterested in this matter, he was doing it for Yinti and also for Yinfeng.He was dubious about Yinti's words, and of course he knew that Yinti's words were embellishments, but from Yinti's words, he could get some information, which Yinti refused to disclose to him, so that he There is no way to know exactly the inside story of the matter, only guesswork.

But if they really want to send someone to investigate, the results will naturally come to light, but Yinti's lies will also be exposed, and Yinfeng will definitely know that Yinti is speaking ill of him behind his back.At present, it seems that Yinreng is still unaware of what Yinti has done, so why should he bother to let Yinreng know that it is Yinti who tried his best to lead Yinreng to see Zhu Fangdan?

He had already decided to maintain the little brotherhood between the two brothers, and that's why Yinti acted so emphatically. Therefore, Kangxi would rather not pursue the matter behind it.

"I just don't understand, what reason do you have to see Zhu Fangdan?"

Kangxi's eyes fell on the book, "Could it be that you have an idea about the insights in his book? Why are you talking to him?"

When Kangxi talked about books, this topic hit Yinreng's heart, he hurriedly said: "Huang Ama, after reading the book, my son thinks that Zhu Fangdan's thinking is very strange. Look at this passage, what he thinks is different from everyone else."

Yinfeng picked up the book and hurriedly pointed out those two sentences to Kangxi. He didn't dare to praise Zhu Fangdan's book as talented in front of Kangxi, so he used Yinzhi's words.

Kangxi waved his hand and didn't read it, and signaled Yinfeng to put the book down: "I read this book two years ago. His idea is really strange at first glance, but I asked Nan Huairen, and Westerners also have this idea. Let’s talk about it, it can’t be regarded as Zhu Fangdan’s first creation.”

"So, Huang Ama ordered Zhu Fangdan to be executed, isn't it because of what he wrote in this book?"

Yinfeng originally thought that it might be easier to convince Kangxi to accept Zhu Fangdan's ideas, and then persuade Kangxi to spare Zhu Fangdan's life. In that case, there is still a glimmer of hope for him to save Zhu Fangdan.But listening to what Kangxi said now, it seemed that he wanted to kill Zhu Fangdan for other reasons.

"Yes and no," Kangxi did not continue what he wanted to say, but just looked at Yinfeng and said, "Yinfeng, do you have something to say to me? You take this book to find Zhu Fangdan, and If you come to me, you won’t just discuss the contents of this book, will you?”

Now that Kangxi's words have come to this point, Yinreng simply gritted his teeth and said what he was thinking: "Huang Ama, my son has read this book, and my son thinks that Zhu Fangdan's thinking is very advanced, so he said it." Many people have not noticed the scientific truth. Huang Ama, haven’t you always studied Western science, mathematics and astronomy? You just said that Zhu Fangdan’s idea is not the first, so why do you still call him a demon? , should he be punished for the crime of spreading heresy?"

"If according to what you said, Zhu Fangdan shouldn't die. He didn't do anything harmful to the world, but he has thoughts that are not tolerated by the world. Can't Huang Ama forgive him?"

"Is this what you were thinking after meeting Zhu Fangdan?"

Kangxi looked at Yinfeng and smiled slightly, "In this way, you really want to save Zhu Fangdan? Have you ever told Suo'etu what you said?"

It turned out that Yinti was right, Yinfeng was really complaining about Zhu Fangdan.Listening to what Yinfeng said inside and outside the meaning, he really wanted to save Zhu Fangdan.

Yinfeng couldn't guess what Kangxi was thinking, but he knew that Kangxi's smile didn't mean he was happy to hear these words.

He considered his words before answering: "Huang Ama, my son just went to talk to Zhu Fangdan, and my son thinks that he is not a bad person."

"As for the son's thoughts, the son did not tell his uncle about it. In essence, the uncle didn't know what his son was thinking. The son just asked the uncle to take him to see Zhu Fangdan. The uncle didn't care about anything. unknown."

"That is to say, Suo'etu took you there without knowing anything?" Kangxi narrowed his eyes, and then scolded, "Why is this Suo'etu so confused! He usually looks shrewd, so how come you let him play around! He shouldn't have taken you there in the first place! He took you there without asking anything, that's even more wrong!"

Kangxi blamed Suo'etu for being troublesome.

Since Yinreng has gone to find him, Suo'etu can dismiss Yinreng for whatever reason, and he will make it clear to Yinreng after he returns to the palace.Why did Suo'etu really agree to Yinfeng to take him there?The more they are like this, Yinfeng is afraid that they will lead him to ruin him in the future!

"Yinfeng," Kangxi said sternly, "if I really wanted to punish Zhu Fangdan because of this book, then after I knew about it two years ago, I would order him to be killed. If you didn't do it then, you won't do it this time!"

"The reason I want to kill Zhu Fangdan is not because he has written a book and said that his ideas are refined, but because he has disturbed the peace of the government and the people. If the dispute caused by him cannot be suppressed, then the Qing Dynasty will also have to die." I was shaken by his incident!"

Kangxi said, "He can realize this himself, and I also think he is a talent, but he shouldn't write a book about recruiting disciples. I respect Confucianism and Taoism in order to win the hearts of the world. He recruited disciples widely. Propagating his point of view, where does this place Confucianism and where is it? It doesn’t matter whether the common people are civilized or not, and whether they understand this truth! There is no need for Zhu Fangdan to say these words to disturb people’s hearts! His appearance , let the Han Confucianists panic, and cause the people's hearts to scatter, you say, shouldn't such a person be killed?"

"What's even more disgusting is that he also colluded with the Manchurians. When the San Francisco was pacified, I already had orders first, and Le Erjin even worshiped Zhu Fangdan as a god, allowing such people to enter and leave the military tent. This is a major military event. How can it be decided by such people? They treat Zhu Fangdan like a god, so what am I?! The reason why I issued a strict order to kill him and ban his books is not for other reasons, but for my rule! If you want people to be peaceful, then there can be no such kind of people as Zhu Fangdan! Besides, I killed Zhu Fangdan, and I can still win the hearts of scholars, which is a big gain!"

At this time, Yinreng knew that there was such a secret in killing Zhu Fangdan.

It seems that Zhu Fangdan cannot be saved.It's not that Zhu Fangdan's thinking is advanced, but that he endangered the rule of the royal family.

These words of Kangxi made Yinreng unable to speak again.All the prepared rhetoric has lost its effect.In a dynasty where imperial power was supreme, people like Zhu Fangdan could not exist at all, and his only end was to be obliterated by the imperial power.

His strength is too small to compete with the imperial power.What's more, he is the prince, so many things should not be said at all.

After Kangxi saw that he had said these words, Yinfeng stood there silent.Kangxi sighed in his heart, thought for a while and felt that his words were too harsh, and feared that Yinreng would not be able to bear it all at once, so he comforted him softly: "Yinreng, you are still young, and there are some things you don't understand. It's normal. Don't blame yourself. If you don't understand this matter, Ama will teach you slowly. Between you and Ama, you can say anything, and Ama won't mind if what you say is Right or wrong, Ama just hopes that you can finally understand Ama's painstaking efforts."

Yinfeng did blame himself, but he blamed himself for not being able to save a life.Sure enough, it is impossible to succeed in such an era by following the heart of modern people.

However, for Kangxi's obvious lack of comfort to the heart, Yinfeng still expressed his touch. He looked at Kangxi and said, "Ama's painstaking efforts for his son, of course the son knows. Otherwise, the son would not treat Ama The one who said these words. My son thinks that with Ama teaching him all the time, his son will be more mature and considerate in the future."

He silently added in his heart, hoping that in the future, he can better integrate into the role of the prince and become a qualified good prince.

Kangxi stared at Yinreng for a long time, then got up suddenly, walked to the bookshelf, opened a book case that he didn't often open, pointed out dozens of books inside to Yinreng, then smiled at Yinreng: "This It is a forbidden book of the past dynasties, and I have read it long ago. I think you can also take it back to Yuqing Palace to have a look. Maybe you can understand why these banned books were banned. Books that have been banned throughout history , there are only three reasons, and you will understand after reading it. However, it is still a banned book, you can read it, and Yinzhi and the others are still young, so don’t show it to their little brothers, so as not to change their temperament after reading it , that would be bad."

When Kangxi said this, he approached Yinreng and smiled mysteriously: "There are many fragrant/sexual descriptions in these books. You are old enough to keep your heart, so you can take a look. Brothers can't read it yet, you have to read the book Keep it tight. If someone finds out, I won't recognize it. You can only carry it yourself."

Yinfeng is speechless, he now knows that at least the banned book has an unchanging reason for being banned, that is - too fragrant/colorful.
