Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

"Really? If that's the case, then congratulations, Master Tong!" After Li Xu said that, he smiled and cupped his fists in congratulations.

Kuadai waved his hand lazily, signaling him not to be too polite.

For people like Kua Dai, Li Xu really can't do anything, after all, such people have a backer, and the backer is the emperor, so he can't offend him.

In terms of relationship, I can be regarded as a domestic slave, and others are relatives.Li Xu quickly changed his face from just now, and began to flatter here respectfully.

After the people left, the fourth elder brother came out from behind the screen and stood with Kua Dai, who couldn't help but spit on the ground, "Slave! Now I'm so proud after getting a few points, I remember when this slave was in the Imperial College When I was studying, I still knew what humility is, and treated people well, but now I have been an official in the south of the Yangtze River for a few years, and my bones are light, and I don’t know the severity.”

Especially this guy's status in the emperor's heart is not as good as Cao Yin's, but he is more arrogant than Cao Yin in his actions. Cao Yin also knows to be respectful to his superiors. Now that this guy is so big, he dares to tell himself that the geomantic omen in Jiangnan is evil, it's evil for your mother Smaller, sooner or later you will know what evil is.

As far as Jiangnan is concerned, there is indeed some evil feng shui. I don't know when this evil wind blew up, and it was so strong that even King Jian felt a little unbelievable.Everyone felt that the Jiangnan officialdom was a bit strange. He had lived here for half a month and learned two pieces of news. The first one was that the county magistrate was afraid of the master.

The masters are the creditors of the county magistrates. When these county magistrates were studying, they were invested by these masters. Now that the investment has been rewarded, it is natural to follow the tenure. In name, these county magistrates became corrupt officials, but the money All went into the master's pocket.

It is simply unbelievable and eye-opening. Some clown country moths are holding government-sponsored officials to expose their fish and meat, but these officials have no skills and are so willing to be controlled by others.

The second is that some officials are afraid of the local wealthy gentry and powerful people. If these rich gentry and powerful people have some power, that's all. But they are some wealthy local businessmen, such as Hangzhou and Suzhou.

There are a large number of salt merchants here, as well as silk merchants and porcelain merchants.Yangzhou, Suzhou is a place where commerce is developed, and there are many cases of wealthy businessmen spending a lot of money. Officials who had nothing to do with these businessmen were tricked by these people after they arrived here and obeyed their orders.

The fourth elder brother told Jian Wang Yabu the news.

There is also a reason why the fourth elder brother got such news. Tian Mi came to Jiangnan more than 10 years ago and met a businesswoman. The two formed an alliance at that time. As she grew bigger, she became the businesswoman's vassal by Tian Mi's side, and became Tian Mi's big shopkeeper in Jiangnan.

It's just that in the eyes of others, this female shopkeeper has thousands of fortunes and is not dependent on others. She didn't plan to start a family a few years ago, but because she got older and better, she felt that it would be better to have a child, so she hired a man.

This man was honest and obedient at the beginning, because he often went out to drink and watch plays with those rich businessmen, and gradually learned some methods of these rich businessmen, often took money out of the house, and gradually let this female shopkeeper find out Some clues.

The man who came here as a married man was unwilling to see that Wanguan's family wealth had nothing to do with him, and wanted to embezzle the family property, so he learned to control the local officials from those cronies, and let this official intervene in his family conflicts, so that the government put pressure on him. Get involved in the family business.

When she first found out about this, the woman immediately kicked the man out, so she met the son of her former partner, who was the fourth elder brother.This woman knew that he was a nobleman in the capital, so she couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion, and told her experience.

The fourth elder brother realized at this time that these wealthy businessmen can also control officials.

The fourth elder brother's temper is a bit jealous at a good level, and a bit of a nosy at a bad level. After traveling with his cousins ​​for a few days, he finally couldn't be idle, so he took people with him for a while. Throw yourself into these fancy occasions.

He pretended to be a businessman from Guangdong and Guangxi, and came here specially to do business. Once he entered the place where these big businessmen gathered, he found that these people were really bold.These people openly discussed how to bribe the prince in public, and how to use the prince's bribery to operate in the capital after the bribe, which made the prince afraid of the so-called ancestral law, so he had to obey everyone and help everyone achieve certain purposes.

The fourth elder brother was so angry that he wanted to drag these people out and divide them into five horses.If those officials who take the initiative to corrupt are very hateful, then these wealthy businessmen who stretch out their hands behind their backs are even more hateful.

The more he listened, the more he got up. If he could check his blood pressure at this time, his blood pressure would probably be off the charts. He hurried out of the restaurant and stood at the intersection to calm down his mood.

"These people are so rampant, isn't it because they have some stinky money in their hands? Take away their stinky money and see if they dare to despise the court like this."

The fourth elder brother was not in a hurry to leave now, but went to a nearby shop to transfer money, preparing for a business war.

The accompanying people advised her that there was no need to do this, businessmen are all profit-seeking, even if these few are knocked down, the ones that come up later may not be good things.

That is to say, these rich businessmen like wolves will come back one after another, and there will be no end to the cycle.

The fourth elder brother thought about it and it was true, and now he became even more angry.The accompanying people could not think of any solution at all.If there is a solution, the court still needs to come forward to preside over it. When I think of the fact that the court is fighting every day for the prince's team or the straight king's team, the face is red.The fourth elder brother could only sigh, wondering if it was possible that his ancestor's country would be handed over to these two people.

What kind of shit these two people are, the fourth elder brother is still clear in his heart.

The rest in the south of the Yangtze River is not good these days. Whether it is King Jian or the fourth elder brother, both of them have hidden their thoughts.After staying for more than half a month, both of their faces were ugly when they were about to leave.

Because Kua Dai will return to the capital at the end of the year, he has been an official in other places for so many years, besides the money that Hetian Mi gave him at home, he also got a lot of money.In particular, there are many wealthy businessmen here, and Kuadai is famous for taking money and doing nothing. If others report his bribery to the capital, others will be afraid, but he is not.

This person belongs to the official that rich businessmen must manage but cannot provoke, so Kua Dai, who is merciless at all, saved a lot of money, divided it into several batches and transported it to the capital by merchant ships. hide.

The finances have already been transferred, and the home also needs to be arranged in the capital in advance. He used to think about how to send his wife and children back to the capital. This time when he met the fourth elder brother and the others were going back to Beijing, he entrusted the children to the fourth elder brother.

"Our couple will leave at the end of the year. The fourth master will help the slave take these children away first, and then hand them over to my elder brother. The slave also asks the fourth master for a favor. He often calls them to your house. Ask about homework. The servant is worried that if they don’t care about their homework, they will forget how to write the characters due to the doting of the servant’s old mother on them.”

King Jian gave up taking the water route, and everyone took a carriage together.Originally, I thought that walking on land would be slower, but it would calm my mood, but what I saw on the road made the two of them almost burst their blood vessels.

That is, the landlords exploited the peasants seriously. Once you can't pay the rent, you will ask the children of the family to pay off the debt.

Along the way, they realized a problem, that is, serious land annexation.To put it bluntly, anyone who has read a lot of history books knows a truth: Whenever there is a peasant uprising, it is when they are not full, and if they are not full and starve to death, then there is a natural disaster, and if they cannot survive, they will die. This caused the fact that the officials forced the people to oppose the people.

This problem was already very serious, and it reached a shocking level. The two of them did not relax at all in the carriage, but their hearts became even heavier.

The further north you go, the more you can feel the seriousness of land annexation. For example, there are some small landlords on both sides of the Yellow River, at most a few hundred or thousands of acres of land.It's not that there are no big landlords with tens of thousands of acres, they are indeed rare.

Near Zhili, these are some large farms. A farm with tens of thousands of mu is already as small as a sesame seed. The farms here are as large as hundreds of hectares, and as small as tens of hectares.

People like the fourth elder brother know who the masters behind these Zhuangzi are, just like the fourth elder brother himself has several Zhuangzi in Zhili.

However, the children of Kuadai's family are good at reading. When they were lying on the window of the carriage and looking out, the brothers shook their heads and debated.

During the debate, a historical fact was brought out, that is, during the period of the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, the private land owned by those big families had already reached a county.

The young boy turned a blind eye to the harm brought by this fact, but yearned for it very much. The young man asked: "In the future, if we brothers work hard, will we be able to save enough land for a county?"

Sitting in the car with eyes closed, the fourth elder brother opened his eyes, looked up and down at these unrelated little cousins, and closed his eyes again.

I thought in my heart: dreaming.You all already have hard-core crops, and the imperial court is supporting you and thinking about annexing the land.

This kind of thing can no longer be ignored, you have to go back and explain it to Huang Ama.

The fourth elder brother has a lot of thoughts, he has already typed up the manuscript in his stomach, and he is waiting to go back to see the emperor's father to clarify the interests of all things. With the emperor's wiseness, it is impossible not to know the crisis brought in the middle.

Of course Kangxi is aware of the crisis brought about by this, and he has discovered it long ago, but so far there is no good solution.

After seeing the fourth elder brother, the father and son first expressed their feelings of parting, and then the fourth elder brother shared his feelings and what he had seen on the road. Kangxi's eyes lit up when he heard his opinion, and he sat up straight and greeted the fourth elder brother Sit down next to yourself.

"You can see that this matter has indeed grown up, and it is also for the consideration of the court. Many people have also seen this, but it has nothing to do with them. After all, everyone is a beneficiary."

The dignitaries in the capital include some small officials, and whoever has several Zhuangzi outside the city, but the size of the Zhuangzi is somewhat different.Everyone turned a blind eye to this problem, but became more greedy and wanted to get more land.

Kangxi sighed: "Those old officials, who took some money in office, bought land after returning to their hometown. Not only around the capital, but also in the whole Qing Dynasty from south to north. When your emperor Mafa was still alive Ninety percent of the tax can be recovered, but now only [-]% can be recovered, and it is still decreasing year by year. You are in charge of the household department, and you can find out when you go back and check the taxes for these years, so you can’t go on like this anymore. When this country is handed over to the crown prince, maybe we won’t be able to collect taxes.”

Kangxi got down from the kang, put on his shoes and walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and looked at the scenery of Changchun Garden from the window. Kangxi still knew the prince's temper. If there was a good thing, he would be the first to go to it. , how far he hides.

He may push it to his son to do things like this kind of rectification of the land and the management of refugees, but the time is too late. The longer this kind of thing is delayed, the greater the disaster will be in the future. Why don't these things be done in his own generation? to finish.

Kangxi turned his head and told the fourth elder brother, "Since you discovered these, then you can start to do it, send a report, let me have a look, and we, father and son, can discuss it carefully."

Regarding the performance of the fourth prince and the discovery of the crisis, Kangxi was satisfied, and he was not stingy with rewarding this son.

First, the fourth prince was given ten days off to recuperate at home, and then he was given a lot of gold and silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a reward. Except for the nobility, all the expenses for food and clothing were taken care of.

After the fourth elder brother came out of Qingxi Bookstore, he went to meet Tian Mi.Tian Mi had heard that he was back a long time ago, so she had someone prepare meals, and dressed her eldest grandson like a red envelope, and the grandparent and grandson were waiting here for the fourth elder brother to visit.

The fourth elder brother came to relax in the familiar environment, and thanked Er Niang emotionally: "The son has worried Er Niang for a while, and the son has been afraid that he will not be able to keep up with Er Niang's future, and now he will finally come back before Er Niang's birthday gone."

Seeing his son who was estranged from him, the fourth elder brother didn't take it seriously, and reached out to touch his son's little head, because he wanted to take his son back for a reunion during some days off, "Thanks to Hong Hui Take care of him, seeing Honghui's son who is now white and chubby is happy, Huang Ama gave his son ten days off, and his son wants to take him back to his residence for a few days."

"It's human nature to look forward to a reunion. Take him back. Everything has been packed for him. After you go back, you don't have to go out to socialize with others. First, stay at home with their wives and see some girls. They I've been worried about you for half a year too."

The fourth elder brother was grateful, and waited in the garden for a long time, and when school was over in the study, several younger brothers came over, met each other and gave gifts, and the fourth elder brother took Honghui home.

As for Qingxi Bookstore, where Kangxi used his daily office work, the atmosphere was tense at this time, and Kangxi was very angry, especially dissatisfied with the prince's performance.

In response to the news brought by the fourth elder brother and King Jian's narration just now, Kangxi called the prince over, and discussed with the prince about the current land annexation.The purpose is to let the prince support the fourth elder brother, to be a backing for the fourth elder brother, and the two brothers will do this together.

In this matter, the fourth elder brother took the lead in the front, and the prince only needed to stabilize the rear.The credit for being a good prince is huge.Basically, it is a good thing that does not require work, and only needs to express its opinion to get a lot of credit. In Kangxi's imagination, this matter can be discussed with the prince, but he did not expect the prince to shake his head repeatedly after hearing it.

"Huang Ama, this matter is a bit too hasty. The fourth child has always been inflexible in his work. Take the vicinity of the capital as an example. They are all Zhuangzi of the palace, and we are all a family. Apart from these, there are some Zhuangzi of the minister's family, we can't ignore these slaves. To do this, we must first sort out the people behind these lands, and determine which ones can be moved and which ones can't. The fourth brother can't do such a meticulous thing, he must It is to ask these people to spit out the land, how is this possible?"

After hearing this, Kangxi couldn't help sighing, it didn't matter whether he was disappointed or not, anyway, he was just spitting.

After raising such a big son, it is only now that I realize how useless he is.

This reminded Kangxi that the eldest elder brother yelled before: "The prince just forgot whose family he is, and those who don't know think he is the prince of the Hesheli family."

Now Kangxi also wants to ask, are you conscious of being a prince?Every inch of land in this world belongs to the emperor. After a hundred years, everything will be left to you. For those insignificant rights, your brothers are fighting with each other. Why do you ignore such an important thing?

Is silver important or land important?

The more Kangxi thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he couldn't help but teach his son a few words, "Yinfeng, you are the prince, and this land will be in your hands in the future. Are you willing to share the world with these people? You never thought that in the future we Father and son are fine, how does your son deal with these rebellious officials and thieves who are trying to make him stand up?"

Go back and read the history books to see how many kings who lost their land were coerced by their courtiers.

The words were very serious, the prince quickly knelt down, "It's my son who didn't think well, please punish Huang Ama."

Kangxi asked him to get up, "Go back and think about it."

It is said that there is no need for a heavy hammer to play the drum. If he can figure it out, he doesn't need to say much.

When he was in a bad mood, he came out to take a leisurely walk in the garden. At this time, the sun was setting, and the young princes had already finished school in the study, and they all ran to the garden to play.

Shisan and Yang Dan put the fish food in a small bucket and lifted it to the Jiuqu Water Corridor, and threw the fish food into the lake. Kangxi also went there when he saw it from a distance.

The two little fellows greeted Kangxi first, and then sat around Kangxi on the corridor, holding a handful of fish food in their hands and throwing it down, watching the koi in the water scrambling for the fish food .

These koi are very big, the smallest is more than a foot long, most of them are golden yellow, and some are white and black.Yang Dan pointed to a white koi, "Huang Ama, look quickly, this carp looks good, with a red spot on its head, it's called good luck."

Speaking of good fortune, I think of the old cat that Tian Mi raised in front of her. The old cat is getting old, lying there lazily and not moving all day long.

"This fish looks good," Kangxi grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it next to the fish. A group of fish scrambled for it, and some fish jumped out of the water and smashed down heavily.The water around the fish school seemed to be boiling, and the water splashed in all directions.

Thirteen couldn't help shaking his head after seeing it, "It's just a bite to eat, why fight like this!"

Kangxi heard this, and turned to look at the son, "Do you think it's not worth eating one bite? But they can't live without this bite. They can grow so big, which shows that they usually eat a lot. These fish Living is to eat, you said it is important to eat one bite?"

But Thirteen still couldn’t figure it out, “It’s the same thing if you eat more or less. If you can eat, you can live. Why do they eat more and less, and give up the rest to those fish that haven’t eaten?”

Kangxi asked him, "Pin Tong left all the good things to Shiwu in the future and didn't give them to you. Will you feel resentful in your heart?"

Thirteen heard this, and immediately shook his head, "A good boy has ambitions all over the world. If Erniang's things are left for the fifteenth brother, then give them to the fifteenth brother. If there is no Erniang's things, my son will not starve to death in the future. What is there to resent?"

This statement made Kangxi very surprised. Yang Dan, who was on the side, nodded, "Why do you have to fight for things outside of you? Anyway, my mother's things are going to be left to the fourth brother. I never thought that they would fall into my hands." .Like Shisan said, a good boy has ambitions everywhere, and I can earn a lot in the future. So, Huang Ama, people are mermaids and fish, and people and fish are different. It’s because they don’t know these things. It’s a fish, if you know this, you can escape the five elements and become a master.”

Thinking of the protracted battle between the crown prince and the boss, and also of the seemingly calm but actually very greedy old eighth, Kangxi threw a handful of fish food into the lake, "You don't understand, when you grow up, you will know something A fish puts on a human skin."

These fish in human skin are very hateful, alas!

A few days later, the fourth elder brother returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Housing and spent a few days to re-survey the land on the Zhili side. Afterwards, the Ministry of Accounting sent an official document to the provinces to ask them to re-measure the land.

The impatient Si Age started his own drama near Zhili.

In Si Age's view, land can be privately owned, but taxes must be paid.Moreover, the imperial court should intervene in the relationship between landlords and tenants. Landlords cannot have the final say. Landlords with better character will receive less rent, and landlords with bad character will simply not allow those tenant farmers to live.

But Si Age's claim has already violated the interests of most people, some of whom are those slaves.They privately increased the rent of these tenants behind their owners' backs. If 5% of the rent needed to be handed over to the landlord, these people told the tenants that the owner would pay 6%.[-]% of them are pocketed.

For a while, people with land in the capital began to discuss it, which can be described as boiling against the sky.The old princes of the palace have entered the palace again.When they entered the palace, they were furious. Not long ago, Kangxi took away their rights, but now the fourth elder brother also took away their right to be rich?

A group of people sat at the gate of Qianqing Palace with no regard for decency and made a fuss, even those who were officials at this time contributed to the flames.

If the capital is quickly settled by the fourth elder brother, then the whole country will be implicated. Those who come out to be officials, who doesn't have a few acres of land?

Even if they don’t have land, they still have the land of their relatives and friends under their names. These officials or those who have achieved fame can rely on their privileges to exempt the imperial grain and state taxes. If the privileges are abolished, it can almost be said that scholars all over the world will be affected.

Therefore, the resentment in these people's hearts is also very great.

The fourth elder brother was completely opposed by the clan and ministers in just one month, and even the gentry and scholars were clamoring for the fourth elder brother's wolf ambition.

This is a good time to fish in troubled waters. In addition to protecting their relatives, these princes want to reap some political benefits.Whether it is the princelings or the elder brother party, they all stood up to oppose this reform.

The two brothers took the lead and pleaded with Kangxi together with the other princes, while the eighth elder brother was among the brothers, constantly thinking about how he could maximize his own interests this time.

The fourth elder brother didn't expect that he could withstand the pressure of the court and the pressure of these palaces, but he didn't expect that it was these brothers who stabbed him in the back.

Even the fifth one didn't support him, and the fifth one even came here to persuade the fourth elder brother to stop quickly, "We Eight Banners dignitaries are not willing to pay taxes, and none of us have many relatives? Not to mention the Tong family and Wu Ya's family, Let’s just talk about the Ulanara’s family, the fourth sister-in-law’s natal family, and their family still lives on these taxes, if you collect these too, will their family, old and young, want to drink the northwest wind?”

"Then let them drink the northwest wind." The fourth elder brother slapped the table angrily, "Are you telling me that Guo Luoluo asked you to intercede, or was the empress in the palace pointing fingers at this matter and asked you to come and persuade me? "

"Not at all, Er Niang is a harem woman, who cares about that?"Nor did the Guo Luoluo family. In recent years, this family has followed the policy of shooting out the top ones, and nothing will happen.Everyone pays taxes and they also pay them, and they don’t pay everyone’s taxes, so they don’t jump up and down at all.Brother Si knows about this, after all, Guo Luoluo's surname is a common surname, and he has already made people stare at these big families in the capital.

The fourth elder brother smiled coldly at this time, "You can't wait to come out and tell me this, is it because your daughter-in-law's natal family asked you to intercede?"

The fifth elder brother was a little ashamed, "Fourth brother, my younger brother also knows that this matter is beneficial to the court, but why are you so hard-working? In the future, this world will be the crown prince's world, and he doesn't care. Whoever gets your favor if you are so hard-working will end up in the end." Became a lone husband and a thief."

The prince not only ignored it, but also dragged his feet. Thinking of this fourth prince, he felt like he was going to vomit blood.

"The prince will talk about it in the future. Now the world is the world of Huang Ama. Huang Ama has this idea. As sons, we should share our worries."

"He is not the only good son like you, you are too hasty."

"Fuck off, I have nothing to say to you. This matter is not acceptable, no one can say it, even if the prince says it, I don't agree."

The fifth elder brother had no choice but to leave the fourth elder brother's house.

The fifth brother failed to accomplish anything, and the brothers who spread the news all knew about it.

At the same time, the brothers thought of this matter and asked Huang Ama. Huang Ama had a tough mind, so it might not be his brothers who could persuade her. At present, there is one person who can persuade her.

They coincidentally went to visit their uncle Prince Yu Fuhui.

Fuquan has been ill recently, and this matter has caused a lot of trouble, so he doesn't want to worry about it.Fundamentally speaking, this kind of thing is good for the court, and he shouldn't object to it, but he couldn't hold back so many nephews coming to the door.

These princes are easy to deal with, but other brothers' families are not easy to deal with, especially the elder brothers of Chang Ning's family.Chang Ning has passed away, leaving behind these children who are all young.As the actual elder brother, he also takes good care of these nephews, who are particularly worried that once the taxes are really paid, the palace's expenses will be a bit powerless.

In fact, in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation, the palace does not need any expenses, but it takes more money to maintain the dignity of the palace.

He didn't need to think about those princes, but he had to think about these nephews, so he went to the palace with his illness, and was going to have a good discussion with Kangxi, to see if this matter could be postponed for a few more years.

Kangxi disagreed, he was determined to carry out this matter.

After being brothers for so many years, Fuquan knows what Kangxi cares most about.

"It stands to reason that this is a good thing, and slaves shouldn't object, but has the emperor ever thought about it? History is like a knife. This kind of reform always attracts a lot of infamy. It's better to leave this matter to the next emperor. "After speaking, he coughed a few times.

He didn't get too entangled with this matter, but said that he had been in poor health recently. Considering that the late emperor had several sons, and now only Kangxi and him were left, he might not have much time left.The older generation is about to wither, which means that Kangxi may hand over the throne in the next few years or more than ten years.

Although it was unlucky to say that, and Kangxi was very unwilling to listen to it, it was an unavoidable problem.

If this matter is not done well, it will easily cause social unrest, which cannot be bypassed.If the old emperor fails in the end, the new emperor's policy is very important. Whether he continues to support or oppose it, it will be the common people who are tossing.Once the people are shaken, it is also possible to shake the foundation of the country.

After the old brother left, Kangxi heard many old ministers' opinions.

They exaggerated the social impact of this incident, saying that it was somewhere near the capital, because this decree has already killed people, and they also said that the fourth elder brother was persecuting too hard, and now many places are dissatisfied.

Even these imperial guards who usually followed Kangxi were blowing in Kangxi's ears, causing Kangxi to waver a little.

Tian Mi is in the harem, so she doesn't get involved in many important events. Tian Mi doesn't know much about who accompanied the emperor and said what.But it is very easy for Tian Mi to get the list of who went to see the emperor recently.

He handed the list to the fourth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother hated secretly, and hurriedly went to see Kangxi.

However, after a few days of consideration, Kangxi has been persuaded by everyone around him. In addition, all his sons except the fourth elder brother did not support the change, so Kangxi did not support this matter any more. The reform was miscarried.

Even if he was angry, the fourth elder brother just patted his desk in the yamen of the household department, and he couldn't say anything about this matter, let alone hold any resentment.Even if you are unhappy in your heart, you can't show it.

Kangxi also felt that doing so was a bit unfair to the fourth elder brother, and this move was undoubtedly a draw from the bottom.So I showed a special preference for the fourth elder brother, and sent many good things over like water, which is also an attitude expressed to the outside world. Although I don't support the fourth elder brother to do this, I still love the fourth elder brother very much.

She was even worried that Tian Mi would think too much, so she came here to explain to Tian Mi: "It's not that I think Si elder brother doesn't have that ability, but that I picked the wrong time."

Tian Mi didn't want to care about it at first, but after listening to it, she couldn't help asking: "There is no reformer in the past dynasties who did not shed blood. Although the rules of the ancestors are important, the rules of the ancestors are only made by the ancestors who violated the ancestors. If you don't talk about it, is it true? Didn’t Shang Yang violate the ancestral rules of King Qin when he reformed? For example, didn’t he violate the ancestral rules of the Song Dynasty when Wang Anshi reformed? Since we discovered this matter, we must do it early. Tonight, I'm afraid there is a tendency to lose the tail."

Kangxi felt that what Tian Mi said had some truth, but he was not impressed by the two examples Tian Mi gave.Whether it is Shang Jun or Wang Anshi, they are all people from the past, and the past is different from the present.

Shang Yang's reform was because the Qin State urgently wanted to be strong.Wang Anshi's reform, the Song Dynasty did not have a hard time going on, but because the two factions in the middle of Wang Anshi's reform fought so fiercely that the tossing national fortune was gone.

If there were no tossing between the old and the new factions, maybe the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were as powerful as the Tang Dynasty, and they would not have been robbed of their two emperors by the Jin people in the south.

"Cousin, you have to know that the reason why I chose to stop now is also for the sake of peace in the court. It is difficult to promote this matter, and now is far from the time. At that time, Wang Anshi made such a big scandal, so it was also unsuccessful. Governing a big country is like cooking a small dish, you can't be anxious or dry."

He completely convinced himself with this reason, and waved his hand to signal Tian Mi not to talk about it again, "The matter has reached such a point, there is no need to talk about it, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Let's talk about this kind of thing in private. , you can’t spread the word, and others will say that you don’t follow the rules.”

Tian Mi opened her mouth and closed her own.

The person in front of him doesn't look like the emperor of the ages. Could it be that he boasted of the title of the emperor of the ages?

It is said that the king of Qin swept Liuhe and the tiger looked at He Xiongzai!Swing the sword to break the floating clouds and the princes come to the west!This can be called the emperor of the ages, but the one in front of me may not really be called.

Tian Mi clapped her hands and asked people to bring the dinner, and the two settled the dinner silently. After the meal, Tian Mi called Hong Hui in, hugged her grandson and taught him to read.

Kangxi walked around the room a few times with his hands behind his back. Although Tian Mi was calmly asking and answering questions with his grandson, Kangxi could feel that she was angry again.

In the past ten years or so, my cousin has never cried or made a fuss when she got angry. She just made it clear that I was unhappy, answered questions, and chatted with her when she spoke, but she just made it clear that she was unhappy.

Kangxi took advantage of Tian Mi to drink water and sat next to their grandparents, "Aren't there a few Zhuangzi in the Tangquan Forbidden Garden in the north of the capital? The fourth brother has worked hard on this matter, so give one to the fourth son."

Honghui hurriedly expressed his gratitude on behalf of his father, Kangxi saw that Tian Mi was still not happy, sighed, and rubbed his hands. "This is a man's business, so don't worry about it so much."

The next day, the fourth elder brother came in to thank him, and was sent by Kangxi to talk with Tian Mi.

Tian Mi was fishing by the lake, sitting on a chair, with a fishing rod in front of her, and a table and incense burner beside her, she looked very leisurely.

After the fourth elder brother came, Tian Mi asked the eunuch to move a stool and put it next to her, and asked the fourth elder brother to bring a fishing rod.

"It's been a long time since our mother and son sat down and talked properly. Just take advantage of your free time today, let's sit down."

The fourth elder brother sat down next to her. Tian Mi turned her head to look at her raised son, and found that he had begun to grow a beard. In a blink of an eye, she had settled down here for 20 years.I am now older than when I died in my previous life, and I finally felt a sense of vicissitudes.

"What do you think about this matter? Yesterday your Huang Ama came and talked to Er Niang for a long time, but Er Niang always felt that she was at a loss. My son is willing to risk the world's disgrace, but unfortunately there are no heroes around. It’s embarrassing to say that you are underappreciated. It’s just that you can’t do anything about it, so don’t think too much about it.”

There are many court ladies and eunuchs around, the fourth elder brother took a look, waved his hand to make them retreat, put on the fishing bait and threw the hook into the lake, "Er Niang, our mother and son have been dependent on each other for so many years, there are some words My son told me not to be angry. After this incident came out, my son couldn’t figure out why this happened, and he couldn’t even sleep at night, thinking over and over why.”

On the night when this incident ended, the fourth elder brother couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning, and asked why Huang Ama knew about this incident and let it go regardless of what would happen, but still
