every spring [comprehensive]

In the early morning of the next day, as expected by Jianning, someone heard rumors that the prince abused lynching to severely punish the palace servants and caused three eunuchs to die.

How could Kangxi not know about the affairs of Jingyang Palace? Kong Youliang, whom he arranged beside the prince, had already reported this matter clearly from beginning to end.Before he knew Jianning's handling method, he still felt that she was a little too cautious. After listening to the untruthful words of the officials, he realized the power of it. If Jianning didn't deal with it at that time, the officials would also catch the prince Little mistakes are exaggerated.

Suo'etu said with righteous indignation: "The minister was also in Jingyang Palace yesterday, and the matter is clear, and there are other twists and turns. The prince is indeed going to take action against a few servants who are not doing well, but he is only three years old, three years old! Who in the room thought that a three-year-old child could hurt an adult? Those eunuchs were punished because Sangong took the initiative to use palace rules to punish those disrespectful servants! It is still the prince of a country who has been wronged, what are your intentions! I think you are the one who can be punished!"

This year, the imperial censor belonged to Mingzhu's gang, who impeached Suo'etu at every turn, and today they became even more arrogant, even breaking ground on the crown prince.

After Suo'etu finished speaking, someone in the court immediately retorted: "With the relationship between Suo'etu and the prince, it is natural to speak to the prince. Your majesty, I feel that his testimony may be biased and cannot be trusted."

Kangxi originally wanted to severely reprimand the censor who dared to play indiscriminately, and return the prince's innocence.However, the scene turned into a mutual attack between the Soetu Party and the Pearl Party.In that case, it would be difficult for him, the emperor, to support one of them.

Suo'etu thought that he was the prince's good looks, but in fact, he was the one who held the prince's back most of the time.Of course, this truth will not be understood until Yinreng grows up and suffers a few big losses.

However, Kangxi has already tasted the taste now, and only hopes that Suo'etu will keep his own place in the future, and don't take the crown prince as a banner at every turn, otherwise, even if he is not willing to easily move Suo'etu, Kangxi will Desperate car insurance rate.

On this day, Suo'etu came to Jingyang Palace to see the prince again, and by the way brought the birthday gift of the empress dowager that he had prepared for the prince.

Without waiting for anyone to report, Suo'etu saw the little prince in the yard. The little guy was wearing a simple martial arts uniform, and was playing with dirt under the tree with his sleeves rolled up. road.

Suo'etu was taken aback: "Oh, my prince, what are you doing! Why are you not practicing calligraphy and reading in this good time, doing what the prince should do, and even ran to the yard to play with mud! What is this? Decent! How disappointed the emperor is!"

The prince was also taken aback by his yelling, and stood up straight: "It's Suo Xiang."

Jianning walked out of the room, carrying a bucket and other digging tools in his hand.That neat martial arts uniform was exactly the same as that of the prince. "Yinfeng! You look like a cat!"

Even if Suo'etu didn't know what parent-child pretending was, he could tell that the two were planning to play together?

"The slave has met the third princess." Because the prince is still young, Suo'etu can be familiar with him informally, but he dare not be with Jianning.

Jian Ning said politely, "Excuse me."

Suo'etu used the excuse of visiting the prince, and often came here, but Jianning couldn't stop him, and let him go in and out of Jingyang Palace most of the time.

Seeing her coming out, the prince couldn't help showing a small bucket at his feet triumphantly, "Auntie, look at what I did, I dug it all up."

Jianning had a proud smile on his face, and then he doubted again: "Yinfeng is really capable, there are so many, it really doesn't need anyone's help at all?"

The little prince said proudly: "The eunuchs wanted to help, but I drove them away. I did everything myself."

Jianning did not hesitate to praise: "You are awesome!"

Suo'etu couldn't help but questioned: "I dare to ask Your Highness, how can the prince play with the soil like a farmer's child in the country, even if it is a small game, his toys should be elegant and precious. What's more How can you let him waste away such a great time, the crown prince is also an important task for the country in the future, he should study literature and martial arts, learn the way of the king and read the books of sages is the right way!"

What he said was full of confidence, and after he finished speaking, he felt that he was a good official who cared about the country and the people, while Jianning became an ignorant woman who indulged the prince in having fun.

Mo Xiang has long been displeased with this uninvited guest who often comes to the door, and immediately retorted: "We know how to treat the prince, we know what to do, even the emperor doesn't care, and say we leave it to us. In what capacity is Mr. Suo questioning?" ?”

Suo'etu said: "The girl's words are wrong. The emperor doesn't care, he trusts the third princess, but the third princess should also be worthy of the emperor's trust, and she can't be entrusted with it. Let the prince play what he wants!"

Jian Ning stopped Mo Xiang, who wanted to argue further, and said slowly: "Master Suo seems to have misunderstood me. Who said we are playing with things and losing our ambitions. If you don't believe me, ask Yinfeng."

The prince had a stern face, and said seriously: "Suo Xiang, my aunt and I are not playing, but preparing a birthday present for the Empress Dowager!" Aunt's people don't like it.

"What? What gift?" Suoetu suspected that his ears had misheard.

The prince patiently explained again: "I am preparing a birthday present for the Empress Dowager."

This explanation is better than no explanation. Suo'etu simply doesn't know what kind of expression to put on. In short, he doesn't believe that there is any good gift related to these mud. The Empress Dowager’s presents are all prepared for you, and this time they are specially sent here.”

With a wave of his hand, he asked the servants who followed him to bring up all the things, and showed them to the prince one by one. They were resplendent and resplendent, but the prince looked at them one by one and still didn't think there was anything good about them: "The presents should be prepared by me personally." .”

Because the prince did not know the value of these things, Suo'etu asked again, "What exactly did the prince prepare?"

The prince said mysteriously: "You can't say it now, but you will know that day."

Suo'etu knew that the crown prince was a child, and what he decided did not make sense, so he turned to Jianning, "Is it true that the third princess also meant this?"

But Jianning said bluntly: "Master Suo is bothering you, but I don't need to bother you with such thoughts in the future. Even Yinfeng understands that it is more sincere for him to prepare the birthday gift himself. You should take these things back."

Hearing what Princess Jianning said, Suo'etu knew that his previous attitude might have angered her, so he quickly smoothed things over and said, "The old minister knows that the treasures in the third princess's warehouse are naturally innumerable, but this is also the old minister's wish. Her Highness the Princess accepts it on behalf of the Crown Prince."

Jianning said with a cold expression: "No need, I won't accept it if I don't accept it, and I don't need to send things like this in the future. I send things here for no reason at any time, and the ceremonial officer of Jingyang Palace also It's hard to do. Suo Xiang has always been a well-rounded person, so he probably won't cause problems for others."

Suo'etu took so much money through corruption and bribery. It was too late for Jianning to let the prince separate from him. How could he just want his things.

Suo'etu wanted to say something more, but Jianning had already turned to the prince and said, "The soil under the big tree is the softest, and the fallen leaves have turned into spring mud, which is more fertile. Let's dig more today. Auntie will be with you."

The prince nodded with crooked eyebrows: "Yeah!" He really likes playing with mud.The two started digging the soil as if no one was around, and Suo'etu couldn't stay any longer after being left alone.

Because Suo'etu often visited the prince before, and because he was the father of his mother, the prince still had a good impression of him.But the last few times Suo'etu always turned into a fierce preaching old man, and was very rude to his aunt, so the prince didn't like him very much because of this.

Although Suo'etu's things were rejected, but he thought that the three princesses would not really screw up the birthday gift for the empress dowager, so he went out at ease, and was caught up by Li Dequan before he left the Xihua gate.

He hastily said enthusiastically, "Eunuch Li, what can I trouble you to come in person, does the emperor want to summon me?"

Li Dequan was sweating profusely from running, and said: "Exactly, the emperor is in a hurry, don't delay any longer, please come with me quickly, Mr. Suo."

How could Suo'etu dare to be negligent, and followed Li Dequan quickly back to the Qianqing Palace, still thinking on the way, what kind of thing did the emperor seek him for?

When they arrived at Qianqing Palace, they found that not only the emperor, but also Zhou Peigong and Mingzhu were there, and the atmosphere was a little strange. Suo'etu wondered if the old boy Mingzhu had sued him in front of the emperor.

Kangxi had already opened his mouth to ask: "Where are you from?"

Suo'etu quickly collected his thoughts and said: "The slave is going back to the mansion, and I went to Jingyang Palace after finishing my duties."

Kangxi said: "Oh, what are you doing in Jingyang Palace?"

Suo'etu said: "The servant is going to visit the prince."

No one expected that Kangxi would reprimand Suo'etu: "Suo'etu, don't forget that not only princes live in Jingyang Palace! It is also the bedroom of the third princess. You, a foreign minister, come and go here frequently. Is it plausible, how many heads do you have worth the reputation of a princess?"

Mingzhu and Zhou Peigong didn't expect the emperor to attack suddenly. They also just arrived and didn't know that the emperor had met the little Confucius in Jingyang Palace before.

Suo'etu broke into a cold sweat immediately, and hurriedly pleaded guilty, "The minister was negligent for a while, and forgot to think so much. I was used to visiting the prince in Jingyang Palace before. Don't dare to damage the reputation of the princess."

Kangxi said again: "Should you go to the harem often? In the future, even if you visit the prince, you can avoid it. Except for festivals when you are outside the palace, don't always visit the prince."

"Yes, yes, the slave complies."

Kangxi lost his temper, calmed down and said: "Suo'etu, don't think that I treat you too harshly, you must know that I also treat you for your own good, which of these censors now has a mouth like a knife and a tongue like a sword , A small matter can be amended into a big case, and one day you will be involved in your behavior and you will know how serious it is."

Kangxi asked again, "Do you think it is Mingzhu?"

Mingzhu quickly lowered her head: "What the emperor said is that the officials should rectify it."

Zhou Peigong saw that today the emperor is not only attacking Suoertu, but also beating the pearl. The two power ministers are getting more and more violent for their own self-interest, and they are going to burn themselves in the end.The emperor has already warned them so clearly, if they are smart, they should stop as soon as possible.

Suo'etu was hit and beaten again and again by Kangxi, only then did he realize that he had lost his sense of proportion. Not only did he often go to Jingyang Palace, but he also had a dispute with Princess Jianning because of the prince's upbringing. It was so smug!What happened in the palace, the emperor didn't know about it, maybe these things had already reached the emperor's ears, that's why he had such a first meal.

Suo'etu was reprimanded by Kangxi, and he was so frightened that he felt helpless. He quickly pleaded guilty and said, "It's my negligence, and I deserve death for my sin. Please calm down the emperor."

Kangxi said lightly: "Get up, just pay attention in the future, you must know the truth that the higher the position, the more cautious your words and deeds should be."

Since that day, facing the increasingly uncontrolled prince, Suo'etu only felt a headache. He naturally wanted to offer an olive branch to the third princess, but he found that it was not so easy to surrender to the third princess. .

Because since Jianning adopted the prince, he has changed his previous style.I seldom put forward opinions when the ministers were around, and I really interpreted the phrase "It is better to be silent than a thousand words" to the fullest.

Jianning knew that he was tied to the prince, and that Suo'etu was attached to the prince's relative, so it was impossible to get rid of the relationship.As long as she has a clear understanding of the government, she will not be able to delay Kangxi's affairs. From now on, she will only watch but not talk, and she will avoid the trouble of agreeing with or disagreeing with whose political views.

In private, Kangxi didn't want the prince to get too close to Suo'etu, because Suo'etu was already in danger, but he was the prince's grandfather after all, and he couldn't stop him just by stopping him.Kangxi then found someone closer to the prince, at least when he didn't have the energy to discipline him, the prince would not be led astray by Suo'etu.

On the birthday of the Empress Dowager, a banquet was held in the evening for the dignitaries in the palace and the relatives of the emperor, civil and military officials.The empress dowager is the oldest in the palace, and she already has a long list of great-grandchildren, and those descendants and ministers kowtowed to her one by one, congratulations are spent More than an hour.The auspicious words that everyone has picked up today, it's like honey has been smeared on the lips of those who are willing to work together.The banquet has already started, and there are delicious delicacies on the banquet in front of me, and there is almost no room for the food and wine.

After the empress dowager got older, she was willing to watch the scene of singing and dancing, and she smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, I'm fine, I'm fine, my body is strong, it's thanks to the emperor's blessing and enjoyment." One year's birthday."

Kangxi laughed and said: "It is the ancestor Hong Fu Qi Tianze who is the descendant of the descendants."

He also said to the people below: "You can't just talk nicely to coax the ancestors. I heard that you have brought birthday gifts today, and you haven't shown them to the ancestors."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "That's a good thing, the old woman likes to open presents the most. When is the emperor's plan to take it out?"

Kangxi said: "I think the gift from me and the prince should be given to the ancestors last, lest the courtiers and juniors can't properly present the gift." In this way, the ministers don't have to worry about their gifts being similar or different from the emperor's. It can be said that he is a good emperor who is considerate of his subjects.

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "All right then."

So everyone showed their magical powers and presented the best things they could find to the Empress Dowager. All the treasures gathered for a while, and it seemed that the most precious things in the world were already in front of them. It was really dazzling. Great insight.

Jianning did not deviate from the cliché, the gift was naturally expensive and decent.

In the end, only the prince and Kangxi were left.Kangxi said: "It's the prince's turn."

Xiao Yinfeng stood up in a dignified manner and said, "I obey the order."

So someone brought in the flower pot that was placed in the side hall, and he stepped forward to carefully uncover the silk silk with his own hands.

When everyone looked at it, it was a small wooden barrel tightly hooped. The outside was painted with tung oil varnish several times, and it was as transparent and bright as amber.The barrel is lush and full of plump and tender leaves, so green that it seems to be rolling out of the barrel.

Everyone had long heard that the gift from the prince might be a potted flower.The Empress Dowager always liked to take care of flowers and plants, so it would not be surprising if the crown prince presented a rare flower.But when everyone opened their eyes wide, they couldn't find a single flower among the lush green leaves.

The Empress Dowager was also taken aback, and asked curiously, "Yinfeng, what is this?"

The little prince replied in a crisp voice: "Back to the empress dowager, this is a bucket of Evergreen! This is a kind of auspicious grass, which was planted by the great-grandson himself, which symbolizes the rule of our Qing Dynasty for thousands of years. Congratulations on your birthday!"

The Empress Dowager immediately sat up straight, "A bucket of Evergreen? Come and show me!"

Kangxi stood up immediately when the prince said these words, stepped down from the main seat, and walked to the green grass to look at it carefully.

Kangxi was overjoyed and said: "Oh, Wannianqing! Thank you for thinking it out!" Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Kangxi actually picked up the barrel himself, brought it to the Empress Dowager, and put it on the imperial case.

Evergreen is originally the "green" of green grass, but it is homonymous with Qing in the Qing Dynasty, and Evergreen has become a symbol of the everlasting Qing Dynasty.

The Empress Dowager lowered her head and sniffed, a faint fragrance came to her nostrils.The green Ye'er was trembling and fresh, as if talking to her.The Empress Dowager touched its green leaves with her hands and said, "It's really cute, and the name is also good. You really planted it yourself?"

The little prince said: "It's true. Yinreng took care of it every day when it was a baby seed, watering and fertilizing it. Yinreng even dug a lot of soil for it himself!"

It was only then that Suo'etu knew that the prince was really preparing gifts for the empress dowager when he was playing with soil that day, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed when he thought of the stupidity he tried to prevent.

The eldest brother was also a little surprised. When he went to play with the prince, he saw him playing with a plant of green grass. At that time, the prince said that it was given to the empress dowager. The eldest brother thought it was amazing and went back to learn from Concubine Hui. His mother and concubine also said that the prince was lying to him.Now it seems that the prince did not lie to him at all, but his mother and concubine guessed wrong.

The empress dowager and all the concubines and wives in the palace were amused by the way the prince seriously called Caozi Baobao.The Empress Dowager said warmly: "Well, yes, no matter it is a towering tree or an ordinary grass, it all starts from a seed. When you make a seed, you can indeed be called a baby. You have a heart, and your great-grandmother likes it very much. your present."

The empress dowager forgot that this was not her own palace, and looked around but couldn't find anything she wanted to reward the prince.

Aunt Su Mala hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Old Ancestor, what are you looking for?"

The Empress Dowager waved her hand, called Prince Yinreng to her, took off the court beads she was wearing around her neck, because they were too long and wrapped them around his neck three times and said: "Yinreng gave great-grandmother such a thoughtful gift, I will return this string of court beads to you, this is the first string of court beads that your grandfather made for me, and in the future, when you get married, you will give it to your queen."

Seeing the crown prince can move the empress dowager so much, the eyes of all the people present looking at the crown prince changed.Yinfeng was a little ignorant, but he still knew that it was a very precious thing to the Empress Dowager, so he took two steps back and respectfully kowtowed to the Empress Dowager.

Kangxi didn't let him go back to sit, but asked someone to add a small seat next to the throne, and whispered in his ear: "Yinfeng, this evergreen plant a bucket for Huang Ama too!"

Yinfeng's eyes were shining, and he followed his example and leaned over and said: "Actually... I have prepared the gift for Huang Ama. It is kept in my bedroom. I plan to give it to my great-grandmother after her birthday. you."

Kangxi asked: "How do you know Huang Ama will ask you for this?"

The crown prince glanced at Jianning, who was opposite, and said, "Auntie said that Yinreng personally prepared the things, and Huang Ama would like them. Auntie is indeed right."

Everyone saw that the emperor made an exception and placed the prince's seat next to him. After sitting down, the father and son were still whispering intimately, not knowing what they were whispering.Everyone thought in their hearts that the emperor really loved the prince the most.

The Empress Dowager also said to Jianning: "It seems that the prince really needs someone who knows how to take good care of him. I think he has not only become more sensible in the past half a year, but also has a strong physique. In this way, San girl, you have contributed a lot."

Jianning said: "It is my honor and my good fortune to be trusted by the emperor and the empress dowager to educate the prince. The prince is smart and cute. Who wouldn't like him? I'm just doing my best."

After that day, Kangxi issued an edict to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pay "a barrel of Evergreen" to Da Nei every year as an example!

There is a child around me who needs to be taken care of, and time seems to pass quickly, because the time has not been lost on the child, and it can be seen from his growth.

After more than a year of construction, Yuqing Palace has finally been rebuilt. The western Zhai Palace was opened up and built together with the original Yuqing Palace. After the reconstruction, the area of ​​Yuqing Palace more than doubled , which is much more spacious than Jingyang Palace, it can be said that it is two small palaces that are connected together, independent and connected.

Facing Fengxian Hall to the east, Jingyun Gate is not far from the palace gate, which is only separated from Qianqing Palace by a wall, and is blocked from the harem by Qianqing Palace. The geographical location of this place is suitable for the growing prince to live.

When Jianning announced to the prince that he could move, the prince was still a little disappointed, because since Aunt Jianning came, his life seemed to be full of colors. There are good memories everywhere in Jingyang Palace, He was really reluctant and didn't want to move.

When Jianning started tidying things up, he wished he could remove everything including the old trees in the yard. Of course, that was impossible!So Jianning asked the prince to decide what to bring, and the rest could only be left intact in Jingyang Palace.

The prince's little friends, the elder brother and the third elder brother, all came to visit him after hearing that he was going to move.Yinzhen also specially asked his mother and concubine to prepare a table of delicious dishes for Yinreng as a farewell party.

Accompanied by one brother and one younger brother, Yinreng ran to Jianning and asked the concubine Hui's banquet to entertain him if he could go.Before he was a minor, these whereabouts outside the custom naturally required the approval of Jianning, the guardian.

Jianning looked at the earnest and expectant expressions of the three brothers, and said, "Of course you can go, but don't play too late, let Mo Xiang follow you."

When the few of them showed relieved expressions, Jianning pulled the eldest brother again and said, "Yinti, you are an elder brother, and you want to help your aunt take care of your two younger brothers, you know, you are still young, so be careful not to drink alcohol. lest you get hurt."

Yinti nodded earnestly, patted his chest proudly and said, "Yinti will remember, and will watch the two of them."

"Good boy, let's go."

Seeing the three of them bouncing out of the palace gate, Mo Ju said: "Ge Ge, is it reliable for the prince to have dinner in Concubine Hui's palace?"

Jianning said: "Although court battles are always full of conspiracies and tricks, if something happens to the crown prince in her palace, the emperor will be the first to spare her. Concubine Hui, who has already climbed to the concubine position, will not be so stupid. Follow Xiang, nothing will happen."

Concubine Hui really had a special banquet in the palace. Knowing that the elder brother and the prince were having a good time, Concubine Hui disapproved of it at first, but then she realized that this superficial skill needs to be done occasionally, so she just No limit Yinti always ran to Jingyang Palace.She knew that her son had a solid eye, and it was she who proposed to hold this banquet for the prince.

Concubine Hui once said to elder brother: "You, don't be so close to the prince all day long! You treat him sincerely, and you don't know how he guards against you. If you don't believe me, concubine mother will hold a banquet for you. The prince Aren’t you going to move? You can see him off well. If he doesn’t come, then he doesn’t treat you like a big brother or a friend. Then you should stop putting your hot face on other people’s cold buttocks and try to please you, Huang Ama. The most important thing, you know."

The elder brother was naturally unconvinced: "I ask the second brother, of course he will come, if you don't believe me, we will wait and see."

After waiting for quite a while, Concubine Hui was about to have the things removed, when the palace maid suddenly came in to report that the three younger brothers had already entered the courtyard.

Concubine Hui was a little surprised, she hurriedly stood up to greet her, and the three respected her as a mother and concubine, and Concubine Hui welcomed them to sit down warmly.

"Yinti, why have you been away for so long? I thought the crown prince wouldn't come, and the food was getting cold. I'll ask someone to take it down and warm it up, and then I'll make some new ones for you."

Yinzhen said in a straightforward manner: "I'm going to find Yinzhi first, and I went back to Concubine Rong, and then went to find Yinfeng, and then went back to Aunt Huang. The mother concubine brought some gifts, so I went to the storeroom to pick them up for a long time, so I delayed until now." For this reason, he was so hungry that he growled, and Yinzhen gave Yinfeng a sneaky look. nothing important.

Yinfeng took out a small brocade box and gave it to Concubine Hui: "Concubine Hui, I'm really sorry to disturb you today."

Concubine Hui was pleasantly surprised for a moment, what woman doesn't like receiving gifts and jewelry, she quickly took it, opened it, and couldn't help liking it even more.He said in his mouth: "The prince is so polite!"

After the dishes were ready, he was busy serving them, but he didn't attend the table, so he was extremely busy.Just like what Jianning said, Concubine Hui did not dare to let the crown prince have the slightest mistake in her own territory. After each dish was served, she would taste it before letting the three children eat it.

When Kangxi arrived at Jingyang Palace, he found that there were several large boxes in the courtyard. The court lady Mo Ju was instructing the palace people to sort and pack things. When she saw him coming, she naturally knelt on the ground. Kangxi waved his hand to let them take care of themselves. He entered the room and asked, "How are things packed? Why don't you see the prince?"

Jianning said: "The emperor's elder brother has just started packing up, and it will take at least ten and a half months. The prince was invited by the elder brother today, and he said that he was going to see him off, and Yinzhi was with him, brother The three of them made up a decent table."

"What, a farewell party?" Kangxi laughed loudly and said, "Ha - why are these little fellows so interesting? They have moved around and haven't moved out of this palace. What's the matter?" Kangxi really thought this joke was enough for him to laugh A while ago.

Jian Ning also said with a smile: "Of course, children's thinking cannot be replaced by adults' thinking. From their point of view, moving to Yuqing Palace, which is a quarter of an hour's walk away, is already a long way away. Besides, this is also the way for their brothers to bond with each other. , I let him play a little longer today."

Kangxi said: "Seeing that their brothers can get along well, I am very relieved! I also hope that Yinti Yinzhi and the others will support the prince well in the future, just like how Fuquan Changning and the others treated me."

Jian Ning thought: The situation is completely different, okay?Shunzhi became a monk when he was in his 20s, and Kangxi, who was left to succeed him, and several other elder brothers were still young, and no one held important powers.In the early years, he was assisted by the minister of government, and then Kangxi continued to solve internal and external troubles during the process of growing up, so the overall atmosphere among the royal brothers was not bad.It was different when it came to Yinfeng. With Kangxi's character, as long as the elder brothers have real talents, they will be reused. The power in their hands will only become more and more powerful. Will they be willing to be inferior by then?He is also the emperor's son, who doesn't want to fight.After all, the temptation is too great, and if you win, you will reach the sky in one step.

It's useless for her to worry so much now, let's take one step at a time.If Yinreng is really abolished by then, at worst she will take him away.The child she raised with her own hands will not let him be trapped in prison for the rest of his life.

Kangxi took a sip of the Lu'an tea served by the maid, and said: "Qin Tianjian has selected an auspicious day, and it will be suitable for ground-breaking and relocation in three days. You should not wait for everything to be packed, and move there first. These things can be moved." Clean it up slowly, and let the servants deliver it in batches."

Jian Ning nodded and said, "That's what I mean too. By the way, the emperor's brother came here for this matter?"

Kangxi said with some excitement: "The day of the imperial examination is coming. We have prepared carefully for two years, and finally recruited nearly 200 people. In order to open up a wide range of Confucianism, I have worked hard. After several twists and turns, I will now put it into practice."

Jian Ning said: "200 people, there are so many celebrities in the world? It seems that these people came here voluntarily, right?"

Kangxi said: "You guessed it right, some of them were forced to come here by local officials. What I thought was that nearly 200 people took the exam, and even the small table and the low seats would take up a lot of space. The pavilion is too crowded. I plan to set an unprecedented precedent and take the exam together in the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Jianning said: "The Hall of Supreme Harmony is the place where the imperial court holds grand ceremonies. Except for the new emperor's ascension to the throne, the New Year's congratulations from all officials, and the reception of foreign vassals, it is never opened. The emperor's brother treats literary affairs so solemnly, and does not allow those The literati are so grateful, I guess the old master Xiong Cilu will be the first to jump out and sing his praises."

Kangxi smiled and said: "I came here to discuss with you what to do with these Confucian scholars after the exam, how to learn the law, and how to be awarded an official after the exam. After all, it was you who raised the idea at the time, so I think Hear your opinion."

Jian Ning pondered and said, "As far as I'm concerned, since they're here, they'll all be accepted regardless of the level of the answer sheet."

Kangxi knew that Jianning would give him unique insights, and when he heard her say that, he immediately attracted all his attention.

Jianning continued: "Because they are famous people in the world, if they are taken to Beijing with great fanfare and glory, and they end up returning as disciples, people in the world will not say that they have no real talents and learning, but will think that the court has no knowledge of people." Talent. Originally, the symbolic significance of this exam was greater than the actual significance. All of them were selected to make them look good. The governors who recommended these old men and women of the former dynasty also had a bright face, which proved that they had done their errands well. It can also show the emperor's brother Pay attention to the original intention of talents.”

Kangxi felt that this analysis made sense, but at the same time he was a little worried: "This time, the two subjects are held at the same time, and 200 people are selected for the erudite and advanced Confucianism. The general examination cannot take less because of the erudite and advanced Confucianism. This will breed dissatisfaction. But when Where will the nearly 300 people selected at that time be resettled? Although there is a shortage in the court establishment, it is not so much that there is a shortage, and it is overcrowded now!"

Jianning said: "When no one is available, the emperor's brother sighed. Now that there are too many people, I don't know what to do!" It’s not small, if they are asked to do errands on the ground, firstly, I’m afraid they will not have courage, and secondly, they will not have the loyalty and wit of young people. If you want to choose officials, you have to choose among ordinary candidates for practical work.”

Kangxi said: "That's right, the trouble lies in those former elders. Now that they have been invited, how to arrange them is another problem."

Jianning said: "Actually, it's not troublesome. I think it's better to put them all in the Imperial Academy. Those who can serve as lecturers can serve as lecturers, and those who can read can accompany the prince and elder brothers to study. The rest is to compile a history of Ming Dynasty." , They are all people who came here before, so they should be happy with this job."

The Chinese nation has a great tradition, that is, when the political situation is stable, it will revise the history of the previous dynasty.History-making is already a major national activity, and the people involved in it must be the most learned people at the time.The greatest significance of this great tradition lies in the victor's respect for the history of the loser, and more importantly, a cultural identity.The dynasties have changed, but the nation and culture have continued.Recording history is the starting point for reflecting on history.Even history cannot be seriously recorded, and everything is out of the question.

Kangxi's eyes lit up, and he stood up and walked around the hall while thinking, "There are two hundred great scholars in the Imperial Academy, breaking the old gang of teachers and students, and perhaps relieving crony disputes. Edited The history of the Ming Dynasty is a big event, of course they are willing to do it, and they will spare no effort! The revision of the history of the Ming Dynasty has to be managed by myself, and it must be completed more completely than the previous dynasty. The common people will also praise this as "the benevolent government of the Holy Dynasty", which is really killing birds with one stone Of the policy."

There was someone talking outside, Kangxi said to the little eunuch: "See if the prince is back, if so, let him in."

The people who came in were not only the excited and rosy-cheeked prince who was playing, but also the elder brother who specially sent someone back. The eldest elder brother was a little cautious when he saw Kangxi. Time, when Kangxi went to the study room to check his homework, so even if Concubine Hui urged him to please Kangxi when he met, but when he saw Kangxi's face, the elder brother reflexively put on a face The posture when checking homework, I can't help being nervous.

But today Kangxi is not the tiger dad who strictly supervises his elder brother's homework, but wants to be a loving father. Kangxi called the two children to him with a pleasant face, and said to the elder brother: "I heard that you specially farewell for my younger brother today? Are you reluctant to let him live far away?"

The elder brother said cautiously: "When I return to Huang Ama, I am reluctant to part with Yinfeng. If he moves to the front, it will be inconvenient for me to go and play with him."

Kangxi said: "Don't worry, he doesn't live far away. In the future, when you go to the study and leave school, you can just be with Yinfeng."

The prince nodded and said, "Master Xiong said that he will increase the
