Chapter 448
Imperial Garden in the western suburbs of Beijing, Changchun Garden.
Since Kangxi moved into Changchun Garden on the second day of March, all the princes and ministers, foreign princes, civil and military officials who were in Beijing, went to Changchun Garden to pay tribute to their sacred birthday in court clothes and python robes. Changchun Garden is naturally decorated with flowers, and all the palaces and pavilions are filled with colorful banners and flags. The trees are also decorated with red and colorful colors. They are carefully decorated, and they are truly flowers and brocades and cooking oil in flames.
In Qingxi Bookstore, Kangxi reviewed memorials with a comfortable mood. No one in the country dared to be disappointed at this critical moment. The memorials they put were all about picking up good things, either reporting good luck or congratulating their longevity. Of course, the brilliant achievements made by the Qing Dynasty in the more than 70 years of entry into the Central Plains are the main content of the report.
On the 60th birthday, Kangxi rejected the ministers' request to rank the title, hold a birthday celebration, build a dragon pavilion, and erect a monument to carry merits forever, but he was extremely helpful in his heart. He worked diligently for decades. He was not only relieved, but also proud that the Qing Dynasty could have flourished today.
The Fourteenth Lao invested millions to hold a birthday celebration for him, which completely caught his excitement. Since it was a grand celebration, he simply ordered the eighth Lao, nineth Lao, and the Thirteenth Lao and the Minister of Rites of the Ministry of Rites, Vard, and Chen Yuanlong, to take the lead and let go of his hands and feet to hold the birthday celebration into a celebration that demonstrated the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty. One was to boast about the achievements, the other was to show off the strength of the Qing Dynasty, and to shock the foreign vassal states, so that the foreign envoys in Beijing, accompanying ministers and missionaries in the West spread the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty to spread the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty and the European countries.
Li Dequan bowed his body, walked in with brisk steps, and reported softly: "Emperor, the 14th Prince, the 13th Prince, and the 16th Prince are here to meet."
"Yeah." Kangxi closed the memorial and said with a smile: "Summon."
Yinzhen and the other two knelt down quickly when they entered the hall. Yinzhen took the lead and said, "My son Yinzhen, Yinxiang, and Yinlu respectfully invite Emperor Ama to live forever."
Kangxi nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Please give me a seat and enjoy tea."
After the three of them sat down, Kangxi looked at the three of them one by one. Seeing that the three of them were full of energy, he couldn't help but say slightly: "Old Thirteen, is your body okay?"
Yinxiang did not expect that Kangxi had asked about his illness first, and his heart felt a fever. He had left the capital at the beginning of last year. He had seen him before, but Kangxi had never asked about it. It was said that Kangxi's heart was completely separated. He hurriedly bowed and replied, "Thank you, Ama, for inquiries, my son is indeed fine."
However, Kangxi reminded: "Knei and crane wind is invaded by wind, cold and dampness, which is depressed and transformed into heat. It is very easy to recur. Do not be careless. The medicinal materials for bone wind that were found in Guangxi are very effective for this disease. I will give you a few boxes for emergencies."
"Thank you the emperor Ama's kindness to reward you." Yinxiang was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to thank you.
Kangxi looked at Yinlu with a slight head, and said, "Old Sixteen, are you still used to it in Tianjin?"
"Thank you, Ama, ask me, everything is fine." Yinlu bowed and replied.
Seeing that Kangxi was asking like an ordinary father at this time, Yinzhen thought it was a good opportunity, so he knelt down immediately and said, "The Emperor Ama is about to have sixty holy life, and my son dared to ask Emperor Ama to allow his elder brother and the second brother to congratulate Emperor Ama on his holy life."
Kangxi was slightly stunned when he heard this, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's rare that you always care about your brotherhood. I'll let them bow in the dragon shed on the street for 17th." As he said, he said, "I'll take Yinreng's eldest son Hongchen and Yinreng's eldest son Hongyu, and will carry the chariot to accompany him on the 17th."
Although the two were not allowed to congratulate each other, the two were allowed to accompany the chariot, which was a great omen. Yinzhen hurriedly thanked him: "My son is the elder brother, and the second brother thanked Emperor Ama for his grace."
Kangxi smiled and said, "I received the news three days ago that your third sister, fourth sister and two princes will also arrive in the capital tomorrow. Please meet them and talk to them about Australian immigration."
Rong Xian, Princess Kejing is here? Yinzhen was stunned and was immediately overjoyed. At this time, the cattle, sheep, horses and herdsmen in Australia did not have to worry anymore. He hurriedly bowed and said, "My decree is the decree, and I will definitely treat them well." Seeing that Kangxi mentioned the Australian immigration matter, he followed the verbal talk: "Report to Emperor Ama, there has been some minor mistakes in the Australian immigration organization. The number of immigrants stranded in Tianjin now exceeds the forecast. Shanghai is also traveling against the wind and is not suitable for carrying grain. Mr. Ama urges Emperor Ama to intercept Tianjin grain to alleviate the dilemma in Tianjin."
Is there something wrong with immigration in Tianjin? Kangxi was stunned. Why didn’t Zhang Pengchong and Fu Ning'an submit a memorial? After a second thought, he realized that he had been reporting good news but not bad news. The two must have been afraid of causing trouble. They concealed it and planned to delay the birthday of the Wanbao Festival. The Eleventh Prince talked about this matter as soon as they met. I guess the matter was very serious. Australian immigration is related to national policies and cannot be omitted.
Thinking of this, Kangxi asked in a deep voice: "How many immigrants are stranded in Tianjin?"
"More than 200,000." Yinzhen replied truthfully.
When he heard that there were 200,000 people, Kangxi frowned. Tianjin was right next to the capital. If he was not careful, it would not be a trivial matter. He suppressed his displeasure and asked in a deep voice: "What is the reason?"
After explaining the whole story in detail, Yinzhen said: "Now, the situation has been controlled. Since immigrants are enthusiastically going to Australia, they can solve the problem of food and clothing and not have an epidemic."
Hearing that it was caused by local officials' dereliction of duty, Kangxi pondered for a while, then said slowly: "One of the slightest and relaxed, the way of civil and military affairs is to be lenient and strict, so as to be moderate. In every policy, we must be cautious. I have been lenient for decades, which has led to local officials being frugal and bribery becoming a trend. If it is not rectified, it will be a waste of lenientness. However, the matter is light and urgent, and the expedition is imminent, so I will talk about it when I finish this battle."
Yinxiang felt nervous when he heard this. Kangxi was going to go with the flow and wanted to let Lao Si Si rectify the administration. Lao Si Si had taken a huge trouble now. Fortunately, he sent his fourth brother to Europe, otherwise there would be another storm.
Yinzhen did not expect that Kangxi would take advantage of the situation and not only to rectify the administration, but also to change the leniency to strictness. He hurriedly bowed and said, "My son remember the teachings of Emperor Ama."
Kangxi turned his mind and asked, "Has the expedition been arranged properly?"
"Return to Emperor Ama, the expedition date has been initially determined." Yinzhen hurriedly bowed and replied: "When you cross the sea, you must ride the wind. Therefore, the expedition to America is scheduled for June and the expedition to Europe is scheduled for September. The specific date is scheduled for Emperor Ama." He hesitated a little, and then he continued: "Reported to Emperor Ama, I have recently studied overseas trade and realized that Japan in the East is ready to move, as if I have bad intentions. In order to prevent the southeast coast from being ridden by Japan after the naval expedition, the southeast coast was taken by Japan. I want to eliminate future troubles before the expedition."
Kangxi couldn't help but glance at Yinzhen when he heard this. Before the expedition, he would still attack the Wazi Kingdom? What was the Fourteenth worried about? What actions did the Wazi Kingdom make the Fourteenth so uneasy? He paused slightly and said, "Tell me in detail."
Yinzhen immediately explained the Japanese "Tang Chuanfeng Storytelling" system, the Qing Navy's threat to Japan, Japan's ambitions and his own concerns in detail.
After hearing this, Kangxi remained silent for a while. The Wazi Kingdom had always been hostile to the Qing Dynasty and had also supported the anti-Qing forces in Jiangnan. The Qing Dynasty had been in power for decades, but they refused to pay tribute. It was really naughty. Because they attached importance to trade with Japan, especially Japan's copper materials, in the 39th year of Kangxi and the 42nd year of Kangxi, he secretly condemned people to visit the Wazi Kingdom twice in order to change the stalemate between the two countries. Both were strongly rejected by the Wazi Kingdom, and he was extremely angry about this.
The Fourteenth Old wanted to exert the power of the Wazi Kingdom, destroy all its shipyards, and force its switches to surrender. Kangxi naturally strongly agreed. However, in this matter, he always felt that the Fourteenth Old was suspected of making a big deal. Is there another reason behind this? Is it necessary to fight against the small Wazi Kingdom that was banned from the sea and seclusion at this critical moment?
After meditating for a while, Kangxi could not figure out what was wrong. He could not think of any personal intentions behind Yinzhen's attack on the Wazi Kingdom. He couldn't help but think that he was thinking too much. Perhaps Lao Sisi was just out of caution or wanted the navy to practice his skills. He did not log in, but he just knocked on the gates in Edo, and there was no loss. The benefits were obvious, so why not do it?
Thinking of this, Kangxi pondered: "The Kingdom of Wazi is the most capricious country. He is very humble and does not know that there is a kindness in the world. He is only intimidated by Wuwei, not knowing the generality, and is short-sighted, and is no different from the uncivilized natives. Since he wants to fight, he can be the same as the natives of the South Ocean. There is no need to be a little good about them. However, he cannot delay his expedition to Europe because of this."
The country of Wazi was very good at title. Kangxi did not hide his hatred for Japan at all and even compared it with the natives of the South China Sea. Yinzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and said, "My son is very proud of the sages."
Yinxiang was afraid that Kangxi would not agree. He was so confused when he heard that he hated Japan so much. Why did Kangxi and the Fourteenth Old Man hate Japan so much?
Kangxi smiled and said with a smile: "Kneel down and meet with the class tomorrow."
After leaving Changchun Garden, Yinzhen was still wondering that he would set sail in June of the expedition to America. Why did Kangxi keep silent about the matter of ceasing? Has he already decided to have a candidate for ceasing?
Yinlu rushed to walk side by side with Yinzhen and asked, "Fourth brother, do you have any excuses to conquer the Wazi Kingdom this time? I'll publish it in the Beijing News, so that it's a good master."
"It's not bad, my sixteenth brother has also begun to know how to prepare for the future." Yinxiang joked with a smile.
Yinzhen chuckled and said, "Why do you have to do more? Wait until the navy forces the Wazi Kingdom to pay tribute and open trade barriers, and it will not be too late to make a big publicity. Besides, the Wazi Kingdom has a "Tang Shipwind Storytelling" system. Wouldn't this publicity in the Beijing News inform them?"
Yinlu didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he came up with a bad idea, and immediately said with a embarrassed expression: "The Sixteenth is not careful and makes the Fourteenth brother laugh."
"What's the point of laughing?" Yinzhen said with a smile: "As you are, the Fourteenth Brother has made all his bad ideas, just practice more."
Yinxiang stopped walking: "Fourth brother, these businessmen are profit-oriented and forgetful people when they see profit. They can sell news to the Japanese country and sell news to European countries. Can they be prevented?" (To be continued)
