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

Kangxi summoned all important officials to come to discuss, instead of placing them in the court, his intention was to listen to the "dispute and quarrel" of the officials who had different opinions.

People such as Li Zhifang and Liang Qingbiao are in favor of expanding the size of the navy and reorganizing the army.

For example, Mingzhu and Ethan Ah advocate the maintenance of the Eight Banners system.

As a former noble of the Eight Banners, it is understandable that he is more inclined to maintain the system of the Eight Banners. He advocates incorporating the navy into the Eight Banners and setting the generals of the navy as the banner owners. Kangxi did not say a word about this.

He glanced at Soetu.

Suo'etu, who was also born as an aristocrat of the Eight Banners and even after the founding of the country, was dumb. After all, the prince advocated the reform of the Eight Banners system from beginning to end.

Yinfeng not only advocates the reform of the Eight Banners, he also wants to abolish the Eight Banners and reorganize the army!

The system of eight banners is unequal. Why is it that the lower five banners are for the upper three banners, and everyone wants to raise the flags?It's not because of the high status of Shangsanqi and the large number of pensions.The so-called Eight Banners system was established by the ancestors when the Manchus were still nomadic before the completion of the Qing Dynasty. It is basically a management model of nomadic tribes, which has long been out of date.

The army needs to be changed, but not now. The old nobles of the Eight Banners are still taking root, and the old guys are still sitting in command. They have to wait until they can no longer cover their children and grandchildren. The fresh blood in the court and the new army grows up, and then replace them one by one In this way, the pain caused by the reform will be less.

The appeals of the Hanchens are different from those of the Manchurians. They safeguard the interests of the middle and lower classes in the country. They hope to break the old system and usher in the opportunity to benefit more people and obtain a fairer share of the cake under the imperial power.Manchen, on the other hand, is more inclined to be a beneficiary of the upper class, safeguarding the interests of the family and the interests of the ethnic group.

Khan Ama tends to use Hanchens because they maintain the imperial power and use them to prevent the Eight Banners nobles from becoming too powerful and threatening the emperor.From the meeting of kings and ministers discussing politics to the cabinet, and then to today's South Study Room, they are all set up where the emperor's power is more concentrated.

But Khan Ama will not give up the benefits of the Manchus, he also needs the Manchus to maintain the rule, the balance of which, if Yinreng himself is left in such a crack, he thinks he can't do Khan Ama That kind of ease.A few years ago, when the San Francisco Rebellion was just quelled, Kangxi was still wary of the Hanchens. Now, the country is stable, but there are bigger enemies outside, and the stage of the whole world opens up before us. Where do you still think about dividing the ethnic groups? The idea in your mind is how to digest domestic contradictions and gather the scattered sands in the country to fight against foreign enemies!

That's why Yinreng is afraid of Khan Ama's "retirement"!What a young Khan Ama, he always said something that made his heart skip a beat. Khan Ama is going to retire and let him do it. If he doesn’t cut the mess quickly, he will break the Eight Banners system, and the Qing Dynasty will perish by then. up.

Yinfeng listened to the words of the ministers, and there was no theory about whether to be incorporated into the Eight Banners or not. All the ministers agreed to expand the size of the army, and believed that the timing was right and appropriate.The development of the navy and the expansion of the army are carried out on both sides at the same time. The army is the main force and the navy is the auxiliary. Each recruits troops to increase war reserves.

Regarding the attitude of Western countries, the ministers proposed the strategy of "making friends from afar and attacking them close".

"Your Majesty, there is a powerful enemy rising by your side. The Qing Dynasty is separated from the western countries by the sea, and the Junggar Khan is so close that it may threaten the capital at any time. Judging from its previous invasion of Khalkha Mongolia many times, the Kalkha Erdan's wolfish ambition is to expand to the east, once the Khalkha Mongols fall, our capital will be exposed to their eyes."

"I implore the emperor to send troops to crusade against the Junggar Khanate and regain the Western Regions!"

"The minister is also in charge of the battle. Galdan is only surrendering to our country on the surface, but in fact he keeps making small moves behind his back. Once he is given the opportunity to take advantage of it, it will lead to a catastrophe! Now that the northern border is a little safer, Luocha is withdrawing its troops. It is our country's large-scale move A good opportunity to attack the Western Regions."

The funds for the war are abundant, the army is adequately supported, and the granary is full of grain and grass. How long will it be until there is no war at this time?Wait until Galdan marches eastward?

It was at this time that Kangxi proposed to conscript Yujia himself.

Yinreng had heard Khan Ama talk about conquering the Junggar Khanate many times, and he had some preparations in mind, especially Yinzhen also mentioned that Khan Ama had "conquered Galdan three times" in his previous life, and he almost believed that Khan Ama will personally take charge of the army and completely wipe out the cancer growing from under the nose.

The reaction of all the people was particularly violent. All the ministers who had been trying their best to fight in the past spoke out one after another, strongly urging Kangxi to dispel this dangerous idea of ​​the imperial conquest.

Kangxi said slowly: "Galdan is a cancer that has grown under my eyes since my heir to the present. I want to get rid of it quickly. When the first emperor was there, he had the ambition to take over the Western Regions. Now a good opportunity has appeared before me. The prince grows up and can As my supervisor of the country, if I don’t go there in person, I will destroy the Junggar Khan tribe and just wait in Beijing for the arrival of the military situation. It’s not because I don’t trust the generals, but because I stand at the cusp of a huge wave of change, I will feel uneasy. It is impossible to hold it in the hand."

Kangxi is an ambitious hero, and he is in the prime of life. Unlike the chaos in the northern border, the Western Regions have been regarded as the territory of the country since ancient times. Now Galdan calls himself Khan King without the consent of the capital and establishes Khan If the country is independent, can the emperor have the heart to uproot it?

The emperor personally marched and went to town to boost morale.He said it so categorically, and it was useless for the courtiers to persuade him.

So the king must not be in a dangerous situation, why does the emperor need the emperor himself to go out for a state-owned general?These words of persuasion were nothing but pale words in front of Kangxi who had already made up his mind to go to war.

Kangxi said: "When the trade event is over, it's time to set off!"

Now the cards in his hand are enough for him to fight with confidence, Khalkha Mongols obey orders, the northern border is temporarily stable, and the treasury is enough to support the war. All these things, Kangxi will never allow any accidents to happen, and must cut the mess quickly. Complete and eliminate the forces of Galdan.

The longer the delay, the unstable the western border. How can we talk about the big construction in the next few years, and how can we still deal with the situation of the world?

At the court meeting the next day, Kangxi announced the news of his upcoming conquest.The emperor will take the eldest son of the emperor with him on this expedition, while the prince will stay in the capital to supervise the country.

Yinzhen was stunned. He thought that the situation in this life was not as urgent as in the previous life, and Khan Ama might not personally go to boost morale. He didn't expect that Khan Ama would still make the same choice as in the previous life even though he had better cards.

For a period of time thereafter, Yinfeng paid attention to the war preparations in the DPRK and China and the mobilization of military sentiment in various places.

Khan Ama mobilized nearly [-] troops and became the coach himself, but he suppressed the generals from the original clan such as Lu Dehong.

As for the eldest brother, he took this opportunity to gain more military power, and his power rose sharply.

Yinfeng was thoughtful, quietly watching the emperor's layout with ease, as if he had learned a new technique of killing three birds with one stone.

Before Kangxi left for his own conquest, he told Yinfeng: "To the west of my army, I want to put all my power above the military and government. If the government of the capital is not very important, I don't need to decide. The prince can govern himself."

Yinfeng nodded seriously, feeling desolate in his heart: Gu is only 16 years old, he is only 16 years old, and he has only half a foot into the realm of social animals.

Most of the administration of the capital was not passed on to Khan Ama, which was completely different from the previous few times when he supervised the country, and he had to make his own decisions.

Kangxi said again: "People say that elder brothers are like fathers, and Baoqing and Zhen are both going to fight. Baocheng can take more time to care about the younger brothers."

The ban on Yinreng not being allowed to go to the study was lifted in such an understatement, and Yinreng's eyes lit up.

"Yinzhi and Yinzhen, you can stay in another department. The new department is stable. You can look at the arrangements yourself. I will leave these two sons to you."

Yinfeng said: "Ama Khan, can't you leave more ministers for your ministers?"

How could he take away Li Zhifang, Li Tianfu, and the two Lis? He also took away Liang Qingbiao. Fortunately, Chen Tingjing was in charge of the treasury at the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he couldn't take Chen Tingjing away.

Nalan Mingzhu, Le Dehong, and Suo'etu all went to the border, and the two princes, Prince Yu and Prince Gong, also led troops to fight and went with Khan Ama.

Only the very old Wang Xi and Xu Yuanwen, the former head of the Hanlin Academy who was first appointed as a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, were left for Yinreng to be the prime minister.

The other bachelors packed up and took away all of them, and the remaining Yinfeng wanted to ask someone, so he had to call the ministers of various ministries to a meeting.

Kangxi said: "I take away those who are proficient in strategy and good at fighting, and I leave you with people who are good at governing the country and rectifying internal affairs."

Yinfeng: "You also took away those who are good at fighting and governing the country."

Kangxi asked him tentatively: "Then I will leave Suo'etu to you?"

Before Yinfeng nodded, Kangxi puffed out his nostrils, raised his chin and squinted at him: "You have a good idea."

Yinfeng: "..."

Kangxi saw that the eggplant that Prince Rushuang had beaten was wilting, and he couldn't help comforting him: "Probably there won't be any particularly important events here in the capital. For ordinary politicians who govern the country, you have learned so much by staying with me, and you will know it yourself." Now that the government is in charge, don’t worry about not being able to handle it alone.”

Kangxi patted Yinfeng on the shoulder: I believe in you, you can wean.

Like an abandoned puppy, Yinreng watched eagerly as Khan Ama took away a large number of old donkeys. He went further and further away, intending to keep them, and his heart ached so badly that he couldn't breathe.

After Kangxi left, Yinreng fell into a state of running like a spinning top.

There are only two cabinet scholars left, and Wang Xi is still very old, so Yinfeng can only use one and a half.

Xu Yuanwen is a stone with no expression on his face. He is very reserved, and he does not pretend to speak to the prince. He is only responsible for the government affairs he has received, and he has refused Yinfeng to give him more things.

Yinreng looked at the one and a half donkeys he had left, and at the book case surrounded by the sea of ​​memorials. Without the help of his third grandfather, he could only accumulate A Zhen who was going home to take the imperial examination and went to study abroad. Senior Dezhu called back.

Cao Zhen originally planned to take the road of imperial examination. After becoming a relative, she would have a family, and then she should start a career. Maybe it was because her father was in a high position and was attacked by other colleagues because he was not born in the imperial examination. Cao Zhen especially I want to prove my ability and become an official with an orthodox imperial examination background.

When Yinreng called Cao Zhen, he was actually a little hesitant. If she gave up this year, maybe Ah Zhen would not be able to continue the exam in three years, which would be a pity.

De Zhu persuaded him: "If Cao Zhen knew that the servant returned to work with His Highness, and she was left behind, maybe she would be even more regretful."

When Cao Zhen was a child, she would cry all the time. Now I don’t know if he still shed tears on the scene?

Yinreng then wrote to ask Cao Zhen if she would like to return to Beijing to work.

Cao Zhen did not hesitate to give up her honor in the provincial examination, and returned to Beijing immediately upon hearing the call.

Is it important to be the secretary of His Royal Highness in the imperial examination?He, Cao Zhen, is determined to be the first eagle dog under His Highness, oh no, the first secretary!

The left-behind children are already miserable, but they still have to work, which makes it even worse. Yinfeng counted Yinzhi and Yinzhen who were in the same disease and took pity on each other, and took the opportunity to carry Yinzhen who had experience as an emperor.

At that time, Yinzhen was facing off against Yinzhen who could speak. Princess Yinzhen pulled a sinister smile, and taking advantage of her mother's absence, she said to Yinzhen in a childish voice, full of malice: " My fourth brother, I'm afraid you don't know that the treasury that you have worked so hard to save has all been lost to that kid Hongli, right?"

"Going to Jiangnan, going to Jiangnan, Khan Ama went to Jiangnan to govern the country and ease the conflict between Manchu and Han. Your son went to Jiangnan for the beauty and scenery of Jiangnan! Hahahahaha."

Yin Mo's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "It really is you."

"Why, my brother gave you a dream before, and you have forgotten?" Princess Yinzhen spoke too hastily, spat out a bubble of milk, couldn't help hiccupping, her originally arrogant face froze, and covered herself in embarrassment mouth, the girl doll's skin is tender, and the tips of her ears are red.

Yinzhen took a deep breath and was about to speak when there was a commotion outside, and Concubine De walked in.

He stopped talking immediately and pretended to be playing with Yinzhen.

Yinzhen: "..."

In order to hide his embarrassment, he also pretended to be playing.

Concubine De smiled: "Look at you, do you like Sister Wen Shi so much?"

Yinzhen said against his will: "Sister closed her eyes, she is much fatter than Wen Xian, just looking at her is a blessing."

Concubine De couldn't help but chuckled: "Yes, Wen Shi is lucky just by looking at it."

"By the way, His Royal Highness sent Eunuch Wei from Qianqing Palace to look for you, saying that he wants you to assist in governing the country together."

Concubine De's eyes were full of joy and encouragement, she hoped that the fourth elder brother could occupy a higher position in the court.

Yin Mo: "..."

I knew I couldn't escape this disaster.

Princess Yinzhen's eyes widened in disbelief: How about governing the country?The fourth child is only 11 years old, so he will be able to participate in governing the country. Did he give the prince ecstasy soup? !
