Chapter 409: The Innovation of the Imperial Family System
The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. These rogues, those who steal, cheat and gambling are all slick and lazy people. How can they easily change their nature? Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen, but he was unwilling to refute his face in these trivial matters. Moreover, these unruly people staying in the local area is also a disaster. Moreover, the immigration of Australia is limited to several provinces, which is indeed not conducive to the management of the court. Lao Sisi was also preparing for the future. He pondered for a moment, and he said: "Let's try it for now. You cannot form a fixed rule, and you cannot mix them with ordinary people...
"My son respects the order." Yinzhen couldn't help but feel relieved. Kangxi said this, which was tantamount to allowing the whole country to implement large-scale public security rectification.
Kangxi pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that you listed the children of the royal family who are idle, fighting, gambling, and bullying the people as the scope of rectification. Is it a bit harsh?"
Yinzhen did not dare to give in to this issue at all, and replied immediately: "Return to Emperor Ama, the children of the royal family are the bloodlines of the royal family and should be a model for the subjects in the world. If they are not strictly controlled, they will definitely be effective! My sons personally think that the Eight Banners are deteriorating, and this is the reason why they want to rectify the Eight Banners, they must first rectify the children of the royal family.
The court granted the royal family privileges to protect the royal family, not to encourage the royal family to do evil and harm the people. If the evil behavior of the royal family is not strictly rectified, the children of nobles, ministers, local officials, and officials in a county will inevitably follow the examples. In the long run, they will lose the hearts of the people.
To correct others, first correct oneself. If the children of the royal family are not strictly rectified, how can they rectify the children of officials and powerful people in various places? My son begs the emperor to be the royal family and make the foundation for the Qing Dynasty for the whole life, and to rectify the royal family!"
Although Kangxi was an emperor and a human being, he also had some common problems with the elderly. As he grew older, he became increasingly indulged in the future of the royal family without endangering the safety of the imperial power. How could he not know the truths that Yinzhen said?
After decades of hard work, he was already tired. However, in recent years, the strange peaks of Lao Si's fourteen have emerged, building a navy, exploring overseas territories and fighting for hegemony overseas, and a series of innovations have also proposed a century-old prosperous era, which is like opening another window for him, allowing him to see a new direction of development, and gradually rejuvenating his spirit.
Yinzhen's words undoubtedly meant that he would vigorously rectify the Eight Banners and local officials. Since Lao Sisi had the determination and courage, he did not want to leave any regrets for his Kangxi Dynasty.
After thinking for a long time, Kangxi said: "The clan is the foundation of the country. Even if it is strictly rectified, it cannot infringe on its fundamental interests. You must grasp this."
Kangxi agreed to strictly rectify the children of the royal family! Yinzhen was overjoyed and immediately said calmly: "My son is honored."
This old fourteenth brother was used to like to pull the flag and make tiger skins. With this order, I don’t know what he would do torture the children of the clan into? He had to help him keep a close eye. After pondering for a moment, Kangxi said: "What you proposed is to punish those who have committed the children of the clan. If you pass a little, I will give you an explanation to the clans."
After hearing what this said, Kangxi already knew about the joint news of a group of royal families? It seems that even later, Kangxi's intelligence was not interrupted.
Yinzhen thought to himself that the punishment for the children of the royal family should not be ruthless, otherwise it would not be enough to kill one person to warn a hundred people, nor would it be enough to promote the reform of the royal family system.
After pondering for a moment, Yinzhen said, "Return to Emperor Ama, Australia is rich and far away from the Qing Dynasty. Even if it is established as a provincial government and sent officials, the children are not at ease. Therefore, they cannot just immigrate, but also have to move a large number of royal families. Now Australia has not yet developed, so they can only migrate their children. In order to prevent them from attracting people's hearts in Australia and forming a big trend, they must be demoted.
Of course, as compensation, they can be given certain official positions. Those who perform well can naturally restore their identity as a royal family and transfer them back to their homeland. The wealth of Emperor Ama, Australia may be beyond our imagination. Although the name is exile, it is actually a rich and lack of fat. Those who are unwilling to go to Australia, America, and Africa's fiefdoms and navy will choose whatever they want, but they will never be allowed to stay in the capital and corrupt the atmosphere."
No wonder the Fourteenth proposed to exile the clan's children in Australia. It turned out that it was for the sake of the stability of Australia. Kangxi nodded slightly. With this group of clan's children in Australia, it is indeed much more reassuring. If they have demoted their status as clan, they are not afraid of how much trouble they can make. Not only can they make money, but they also have the opportunity to restore the clan's identity, and it is much easier to manage. This method is indeed good.
However, isn’t this a big deal to dismiss hundreds of clans in one breath? How many clans are there in the capital? More than 2,000 people have been removed at once, and 20% of them have been removed. Kangxi couldn’t help but frown and pondered: “Yesterday alone, more than 160 clans were detained for three days. Have they all been deposed?”
Since he talked about this, Yinzhen said directly: "Returning to the Emperor Ama, we must naturally identify it carefully. However, the descendants of the royal family, including those in the current navy, who do not have a title, begged to depose the identity of the royal family and treat them equally. As Emperor Ama said, the royal family is the foundation of the country, and the descendants of the royal family cannot always be stuck in the capital. Otherwise, what is the difference between them and the former Ming Dynasty?"
Hum? Kangxi was stunned when he heard this. The Fourteenth Old Man was looking for a dilemma. After going around a huge circle, he pointed out his ultimate goal. He wanted to innovate the royal system!
After thinking about Lao Sisi's words together, Kangxi was also a little moved. It is indeed not a solution to keep the children of the royal family in the capital. Without training, the royal family will never leave the capital for life. Once the country has something to do, it will be unreliable. The royal family will basically do nothing. How can the Qing Dynasty repeat the collapse of the Ming Dynasty?
Furthermore, the number of royal families will become larger and larger, which is beyond doubt. Not to mention the burden on the court, the most important thing is that these royal children in the capital who have been in the lifelong circle have lost their enterprising spirit, are bored all day long, causing trouble, which not only affects the public security of the capital, but also destroys the customs of the capital. They are indeed the culprits that lead to the destruction of the Eight Banners.
Four years ago, Kangxi encouraged more than 200 children to join the navy. His original intention was to control the navy with this, but wasn’t it a bold attempt to change the status quo of the royal family? However, as the royal family reproduced, all the children of the royal family could not be sent to the navy.
Lao Si's proposal is indeed bold, but it can greatly change the status quo of the royal family, dismiss the identity of the royal family, and let the children of the royal family go out of Beijing to experience it. The excellent ones will recall the capital to restore the identity of the royal family, and the mediocre ones will exil overseas. In this way, it will surely inspire the enterprising spirit of the royal family, and the imperial family in the capital truly calls the foundation of the country.
Kangxi raised his brows, quickly frowned again, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Demolishing the identity of the royal family can certainly prevent the royal family from treason, but how to ensure the purity of the bloodline of the descendants of the royal family? How to statistically manage the offspring?"
After hearing this question, Yinzhen's heart was beating. Kangxi was indeed extraordinary. He was inclined to reform the royal family in such a short time. After being stable, Yinzhen calmly said: "Return to Emperor Ama, the royal family has started a family early. Before the age of twenty, he basically had offspring. In this way, the offspring of the royal family who was released can be completely excluded from the scope of the royal family."
Don't? Kangxi was slightly stunned. This was a neat and neat thing. Now that the royal family is growing more and more prosperous, the descendants of this period are not included in the jade plate. The problem is not big, but it will cause countless troubles. These are all detailed rules and can be considered slowly.
Thinking of this, Kangxi asked directly: "Will the deposed identity of the royal family of the Navy cause dissatisfaction?"
"If you are unwilling to depose your status as a royal family, you can return to Beijing and don't force them." Yinzhen said quickly.
Kangxi nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Kneel down first."
When Yinzhen withdrew, Kangxi stood up and walked slowly in the hall. The Qing Dynasty was different from all dynasties. It was a million people who ruled the people of billions. The role of the royal family was particularly prominent. It not only assumed the continuation of the royal family, but also a strong guarantee of the imperial power. Lao Sisi's proposal broke away from the control of the royal family in previous dynasties. This move not only enhanced the ability of the royal family, but also greatly guaranteed the stability of Australia. In the future, America and Africa could adopt this method.
However, just deposing the status of the royal family is not enough to prevent the royal family from causing chaos. There are also more restrictions to try to eliminate the possibility of the royal family being in chaos. It is not a trivial matter to leave the royal family outside. Kangxi walked in the hall for a long time before stopping the trail: "Summon several ministers of the house to meet."
Yinzhen did not expect that Kangxi would drive him out when he heard about the reform of the royal family system. He couldn't help but complain. He had not reported this opportunity to rectify the affairs of the infantry commander's yamen, the military officers of the Five Cities, the soldiers and runners of Shuntian Prefecture. It seems that he would have to be more careful in the future. As for the joint report of a group of royal families, he didn't care at all. With this proposal, how could the royal family hate him?
When he came out of the palace, it was not yet dawn. Yinzhen was so depressed. What was this? It was unnecessary to go back home. After thinking about it, he changed his clothes and came out and ordered: "Bao Fuquan, take the sedan chair to the infantry commander's office first. You can move around and spread it."
When Bao Fuquan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Master, this road is not close, so I'd better go by sedan chair."
Yinzhen waved his hand and left straight. Dachun and his guards couldn't help but stare at each other. They didn't wear casual clothes. Following like this in an official robe would definitely make the master unhappy. If he didn't follow, he was worried about something unexpected. Although he was in the inner city, there were many Eight Banners who were not open. After a little hesitation, Dachun said, "Let's follow from afar."
