[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

The shrine priest cleans up officials not only to manage auspicious rituals and sacrifices!Otherwise, why set up a large department under the Ministry of Rites to manage these things?

Its actual function is the same big function as the Yizhi Cleaning Department and Jingshan Cleaning Department, and it manages many affairs.

When Yinreng went to the temple to sacrifice to the official department, he took the lead in visiting the divisions inside.

There are Sacrifice Section, Monk Taoism Section, Shixian Section and so on.

As you can tell from the name, this department is also responsible for the management of monks and Taoist priests throughout the country. The word "Shixian" in Shi Xianke comes from "Book·Shuo Hitting", which means "the teaching order at that time". This is still a department in charge of promoting laws. .

Seeing that there are rosters of wizards and folk medicine practitioners in the Sacrifice Department, Yinreng became very interested in the new department.

Kangxi instructed Sha Cheng to give Yinreng some work familiar with sacrifices and auspicious rites, and don't let him come up with new things. In the eyes of the emperor, sacrificial etiquette is serious. Baocheng is a well-measured child. will converge.

So Sha Cheng sent someone to receive Yinfeng, and taught him to read the roster, read the funeral, posthumous title and so on.

Whether it is a concubine or a courtier, people who have some status in the court or the harem will get a "posthumous title" after they die. This posthumous title is drawn from here.

As Kangxi expected, the child really stopped for a while after he arrived in the new department.

Think about it too, how can there be a place to play on the temple sacrifice?

The emperor gradually relaxed his vigilance, but here Yinfeng is simply exposed to new knowledge and is concentrating on learning!

He is really not interested in things like sacrifices, but he is very interested in monks and Taoists.

The Taoist priests recorded in the roster all had some influence among the people and were recognized by the court.

These Taoists know astronomy and geography. Apart from being proficient in Taoism, they also know more about physics, chemistry and mathematics than the current literati!

According to records, in the Tang Dynasty, there was a Taoist priest of the Maoshan sect of the Shangqing School, named Wang Yuanzhi, who lived to be 120 years old.

There is no such a long-lived figure in the Qing Dynasty. Monk Miaoshan already exists like a half-immortal.

Yinfeng discovered that the number of Taoist temples recorded on the roster is much less than that of Buddhist temples. According to the support content of the Shixian, the Qing Dynasty actually supported Taoist temples, but compared with Buddhist temples, Taoist temples are not well-off and poor. ring.

He memorized the names of these Taoist temples, and he had a new plan for the establishment of the "Chemistry Research Institute" in his mind.

When teaching his younger brothers, Yinfeng also more or less mentioned some of his recent thoughts. He told his younger brothers: "Don't look at the Taoist priests who are all talkative, in fact, they are all the Qing Dynasty masters in the field of chemistry. The best of the bunch!"

"Look at this chemical experiment, the fourth brother failed again. If Taoist priests were to do this, they might really be able to delve into the knowledge here."

Yinfeng has given up on Yinzhen's handicap. Although the fourth brother has a good mind, he only has a pair of simple hands, and he can't do anything, and he talks about No.1.

Yinzhen didn't like groups like "Taoist priests". In the last life, the old eighth fell under the rhetoric of Zhang Deming, a Taoist priest, and exposed his desire to seize the throne in front of Khan Ama.

In the inner court of the Qing Dynasty, Taoist priests were supported to make alchemy, which was for health care, and there were also elixirs for bed use.

Recalling that before his death, he went to the doctor for a sudden illness, and under the flickering of a Taoist priest, he almost had the idea of ​​pursuing longevity, which almost led to a big mistake.

The smooth-talking Taoist priests have become the crowd he is wary of, but Yinfeng, based on chemistry and physics as a reference, firmly wants to recruit some Taoist priests to establish what he calls a "chemical research institute". He even has a list of Taoist temples that he can visit. They were all copied from the Ministry of Rites!

Yinzhen asked Yinreng: "Are you closer to Taoism than Buddhism? Khan Ama and Uku's mother are both closer to Buddhism."

Yinfeng glanced at him strangely: "Buddhism and Taoism are both a kind of knowledge. There is no priority in learning. As for the level of belief, I only believe in science!"

He stroked Yinzhen's head earnestly and said: "Buddhism and Taoism both have elements of metaphysics. Only science pursues the truth of everything. Science is pragmatic and down-to-earth. It won't stop you from liking other theories, but you are alone. , do not believe in ghosts and gods, but only in science."

【…】

Xiaomei once again reflected on her own education method, but it can't say that there really is a hell in this world, otherwise the big friend wouldn't be here.At this moment, it was a little afraid of what the big friend would do to it when it recovered its memory.

Xiaomei decided not to reveal a single word until Yinreng recalled her previous life!

"Gu believes that everything can be explained by science. If it can't be explained, then it must be because the level of science is not enough."

So don't talk to him about secrets and fortune-telling, he doesn't believe a word of these.

Yinzhi clapped his hands like a little seal, looked up at Yinfeng adoringly: "Second brother is right!"

He worked hard while studying, and liked to cling to Yinreng. Compared with his fourth younger brother, who was not so cute, the pure and natural Yinzhi became Yinreng's little treasure in his palm.

Only the third brother would softly let him rub and hug him without resisting, and only him, no matter what he said, he believed and never questioned Yinfeng.

The third brother is as cute as a little angel!

If it weren't for the "Queen Mother" Khan Ama who got in the way, Yinreng would have had five, six, seven, and eight other brothers.Well now, the cooked brother flew away.

After this conversation, Yinfeng sent Xinyu to help him find a new residence to be used as a "Chemistry Research Institute". He also paid for several famous Taoist temples, and hired Taoist priests with the temptation of incense money. We went to the "Institute of Chemistry" to study the subject.

After thinking about it, Xinyu felt that the prince was about to make a big deal again, so he hurriedly reported the matter to Kangxi.

The emperor summoned Yinfeng to the imperial court, and the father and son stared at each other.

Yinfeng was silent for a moment, and before Kangxi could speak, he could only speak by himself: "Did Xinyu come to complain to Khan Ama? Master Sha also knew about the copying of the list of Taoist priests by my son, and he said it was all right, these Taoist priests are not good Is it a taboo for my son to recruit them?"

Kangxi sighed: "When will you calm down?"

Yinfeng said innocently: "I don't want to work either, but if I don't work, Khan Ama can only work hard alone. Now the only ones who can share your worries are the minister and the elder brother."

Kangxi's tone rose: "But after you went to the Ministry of Rites, I am busier than before!"

Yinfeng whispered: "Khan Ama is still young and strong now! Do more when you are young, and you will be more relaxed in the future. Erchen also wants to do more things when you are young, some things, small ones You won’t be scolded for doing it when you grow up, but it’s not suitable for doing it when you grow up.”

"You can't expect my son to follow Master Sha honestly and practice step by step. That would be a waste of Xiaomei's resources and the knowledge I have learned over the years. Don't you let me go to the Ministry of Rites? I also hope that my son can do something?"

Kangxi said blankly: "Well, so you asked people to hire Taoist priests for research?"

"Basic clothing, food, housing, and transportation are all related to chemistry. The formula of cement is also born by chemistry. Because the research institute is about to develop natural fertilizers, and the crops in the Qing Dynasty will increase. My son intends to let them first develop a chemical fertilizer that does not harm crops. , but the 'pesticide' that can eliminate the four pests."

Since it is a "pesticide", it is related to the national root agriculture of the Qing Dynasty and is a "serious matter".

Kangxi's expression softened a little, after asking clearly, he was not so angry anymore.

After all these years, he already knew that it would be impossible to stop Baocheng from messing around.This kid can't take it easy, his nature is such that he can't even twist it around.

Kangxi has already tempered his strong nerves. In his opinion, as long as the child does not cause earth-shattering disasters, he will reluctantly accept other "small troubles".

Kangxi took the matter lightly, thought for a while, and finally revealed something to Yinfeng: "In Taiwan, Zheng's surrender letter has been sent to the capital."

"Tang Bin is right. I shouldn't be too harsh on you. What you have done since you went to the Ministry of Rites these days is beneficial to the future of the Qing Dynasty. It has also proved your ability to me and the courtiers."

Kangxi's blood pressure was stable: "I ordered you to be transferred to the Department of Cleaning Up Officials for Hosts and Guests, responsible for receiving foreign guests, welcoming Mrs. Zheng to Beijing, and contacting Taiwan. Maybe you can do this well?"

This is the first time that Kangxi has handed over a challenging event to Yinreng since Yinreng’s experience. Adult princes and princes are responsible for it.

Kangxi dared to let Yinreng do the job, and Yinreng dared to take over the job without changing his face!

He yearns for the "sea of ​​stars" more than anyone else. Opening the sea ban has become something that Yinfeng has been thinking about all the time. Now that Taiwan is flat, the sea ban can finally be lifted. , Yinreng patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Ama Khan, I will definitely receive Zheng Keshuang well, let him fall in love with life in the capital, and never want to go back to that poor place in Taiwan to suffer."

What preparations are needed to welcome foreign guests?

Given that Zheng Keshun was the leader of the surrendered army, when receiving him, he had to save face for the Qing Dynasty, deter him with force, invite him with enthusiasm, and entertain him with feasts, so that he could linger on the capital and make him sincerely surrender to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!

Therefore, Yinfeng proposed: "I want to go to the Ministry of War to see my eldest brother. By the way, I can see how the Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners are capable of fighting, and see how tall and strong the Qing Dynasty's horses are, and how advanced their weapons are."

Kangxi was surprised: "I put you in charge of receiving Zheng Keshuang, what are you going to the Ministry of War for?"

"There is a way to show the majesty and strength of the Qing army without frightening the foreign guests. It is called the 'Military Parade'. Khan Ama, the Eight Banners are powerful. Everyone can talk about it. The important thing is to show it. "

However, Yinfeng is doomed to be disappointed.

Because the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty gradually lost their wildness and ferocity when they were nomads in their comfortable life after entering the customs. Their combat capabilities are weakening year by year, and they are replaced by the wind of leisure and hard work...
