Xiaotangshan Palace*

As June began, the weather was already a little hot. Kangxi also changed his daily walking exercises to once in the morning and evening at the suggestion of the imperial physician. After getting up early in the morning, he walked around the garden in the backyard for a while. After taking a shower, he asked the imperial physician to massage and acupuncture. After finishing his work, he began to practice writing with his left hand. As his actions and energy recovered, he no longer listened to the books and rested. Instead, he asked Li Dequan to read secret letters from all the ministers and responded by hand. Of course, they were all very simple, such as "I am safe, I know, I have read it."

It is said that the country cannot be without a king for a day. Kangxi did not want people everywhere to be unstable due to his own stroke. Through the reply to secret letters, the local officials can calm down. He does not want others to do this. Although the recovery is good now, the right hand will definitely not be tired in the future. The word "left hand" must be familiar with the ministers.

Just as Kangxi struggled to reply to the secret letters of the local officials, the fast horses in the capital had already sent the situation of the morning court. Kangxi put his pen and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but smile. The old fourteenth master had made great progress in controlling the court meeting, and could take the initiative and stop the situation from expanding in time. It seemed that he still had to experience more wind to grow up quickly. After a moment of pondering, he ordered: "Remove all these."

Unexpectedly, Lao Shisi would definitely come over immediately. He could have a good rest. With the support of the eunuch, Kangxi sat comfortably in the recliner, shaking slightly. The navy's conquest day was hidden from the court. This matter was indeed a bit inappropriate. However, no wonder Lao Shisi would really take this matter to the court, which would definitely be a situation of endless debate. In the peaceful years, who would like to fight?

He was deeply moved by this kind of thing. He suppressed the Three Feudals, conquered Taiwan, fought against Tsarist Russia, and conquered the Junggar three times. He did not have many opponents. He did not have the opposition to the public and the world was arbitrary, so how could the Qing Dynasty flourish today?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. After the Qing Dynasty was like a pass, the Manchu nobles began to enjoy themselves and did not want to make progress. The Han officials were even more afraid of war. Fortunately, the fourteenth brother was still quite successful and not only had ambitions. They also made money. The navy not only did not spend a penny of national treasury, but also earned 70 million taels of silver for the court. This was a war that the Qing Dynasty had never seen before after entering the Central Plains.

Through this battle, Lao Sioux has opened its horizons to all the princes, nobles, civil and military ministers. War is no longer a waste of money or a waste of military power, but can bring huge wealth and benefits to the court... it can greatly enhance the prestige and strength of the court! I think it is precisely because of this that the ministers in the court reacted so fiercely. They were worried that Lao Sioux will continue to bypass the court and launch a war in the future, leaving them completely idle.

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Dequan tiptoed over and reported softly: "Emperor, the prince is here, I'm looking for a meeting outside."

Well, it came so fast. Could it be that it was riding a horse? Kangxi was slightly stunned and said, "Xuan him come in."

Yinzhen had already washed up a little while outside. When he heard that he was called to see him, he quickly sorted out the court suits and crowns, and then quickly walked into the yard to pay tribute. However, he did not get up, but took off the court suit and bowed, "This morning, the ministers deliberately attacked the secret envoyment of the son and the ministers. The crowd was in a hurry. In his hurry, he cited the emperor and the emperor. He deserved to die. He also asked the emperor to be severely punished."

Kangxi smiled and said, "It's not that he cited his fault. It's indeed my negligence. There is no need to mention this matter again. I'll give you a seat."

"The emperor Ama is generous and kind, and it is a blessing for his son. I thank the emperor Ama for his unjust grace." After Yinzhen kowtowed and thanked him, he picked up the imperial crown and sat down calmly.

After he settled down, Kangxi said, "I have two unclear points in the Edo Treaty. One is why Japan prohibits Shintoism, and the other is the matter of marriage between Japan. How did you think?"

Yinzhen knew that Kangxi must have to ask about these two points, and had already been prepared. He calmly replied: "Returning to Emperor Ama, I heard merchants who traded with Japan in Shanghai mention that before Buddhism was passed down, Japan believed in Shintoism. After the rise of Confucianism, they combined the Shinto doctrine of worshiping Amaterasu with Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism, emphasized respecting the emperor and loyal to the emperor, and advocated Shintoism, thus forming some schools and gaining great development. Japanese samurai were brave in fighting and not afraid of death, which was affected by it.

A complete ban on Shintoism will inevitably greatly promote the development of Buddhism. On the one hand, it can erase the blood of Japanese samurai, and on the other hand, it can also curb their belief in respecting the emperor and loyal to the emperor. The general shogunate's rule and appeal are far inferior to that of the Japanese Japanese emperor.

As for asking the Japanese to condemn the royal princess, the general's house princess, and the vassal lords from all over the country to marry, they were influenced by Zheng Chenggong. Japan is an island country that admires the strong very much. Zheng Chenggong's mother is a Japanese, and Japan also admires Zheng Chenggong very much. For this reason, it also specially compiled a drama "Kuo Xinye's War" and was widely performed in Japan.

In addition, although the emperor of Japan is known as the One World, there have been many female emperors, and even two generations of emperors of mother and daughter, which is enough to show that their royal family's bloodline is in chaos."

Hearing this, Kangxi understood that Lao Shi Si wanted to completely rule Japan through descendants with Japanese blood, or divide Japan, or even integrate Japan. It is impossible to say that Lao Shi Si thought about the long-term, but will there be more twenty Japanese women? How many women are there in the Qing Dynasty? In addition, the Qing Dynasty has always attached great importance to bloodlines, and even the Manchu and Han dynasties cannot intermarry. Will it attract material advice? Lao Shi Si is the crown prince, and it is said that the upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked. Once this opening is opened, how can the princes and nobles below restrain?

Although there were many Han concubines in Kangxi's own harem, such as the mothers of the fifteenth and sixteenth, he was a Han man, but he did not make a big fuss. Instead, he covered up more and put the flag in his arms before he was included in the harem. The twenty Japanese women of the fourteenth and the twenty Japanese women were in great spirits, fearing that the world would not know, but this was a bit difficult to deal with.

Kangxi also knew in his heart that the reason why Lao Sisi wrote this openly in the formal agreement of the Edo Treaty was to correct the names of future descendants, so that the Japanese government and the people would recognize the existence of blood, the Japanese accept it, and the descendants would also facilitate the rule of Japan. But is this necessary?

How big is Japan? How many people, why did Old Fourteen attach so much importance to Japan? After glanced at Yinzhen, Kangxi said lightly: "Japan is a small country, living in a corner of the overseas area, and the land is only the size of a projectile. Although it is always ambitious, it is only natural danger to the strait. Otherwise, it would be easier to destroy its country. Now, since there is a strong navy, it can make it surrender in every move, so why should we pay more attention to it?"

"Return to Emperor Ama." Yinzhen bowed and said, "Although Japan is a small country, occupying only a small land, it has a population of 30 million, and can gather tens of thousands of people who dare to die in an instant. Although it has surrendered now, it is just a helpless act. My sons secretly think that its threat to the Qing Dynasty is far better than that of the northwest. I think that the Qing Dynasty was not alone in Liaodong, and its clan was only hundreds of thousands. Once the storm meets, it will sweep across the Central Plains and conquer the world.

There are 30 million people in Japan, not only many of them are dying, but also very good at learning. They should not be taken lightly. Not only do they want to seal Japan and cut off their ties with the outside world, they are also preparing to introduce the Lamaism to Japan, and to completely weaken Japan."

After hearing Yinzhen's comparison, Kangxi couldn't help but be speechless. Over the years, Lao Si's vision has become more and more unique in the long run, and there are very few mistakes. Since he is so strict with Japan, there must be his reason. However, how should this marriage be handled?

After pondering for a moment, Kangxi said: "Japan is now a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. Japan sends princesses to marry relatives. Will other vassal states such as Korea, Annan, Siam, Sulu, Myanmar, etc. also ask for the sending princesses to marry relatives? We are the sect leader states, and even if we divide each other, there should not be too much difference. In this way, wouldn't this harem become the world of women of vassal states?

In addition, women from vassal states can be accepted into the palace. Will the Han, Tibetan, Uyghur, and Hui women accept? If they do not accept it, it is unreasonable. How can I guarantee my Manchu bloodline? What kind of situation will the harem become?"

Yinzhen did not expect that Kangxi would come from this and that, a Japanese condemn the princess and married her, and it was a bit unexpected. After thinking for a moment, he secretly laughed at Kangxi for only allowing the state officials to set fire and not allowing the people to light the lamp. There were no less than twenty Han concubines in Kangxi's own harem, but turned around and asked, should we accept Han people?

After a moment of pondering, he replied, "Return to Emperor Ama, my son thinks that no request should be rejected by all vassal states." After pausing for a moment, he slowly said, "The Emperor Ama is not the emperor of a clan and a country. He is the common ruler of the world. He governs China and has all the best. How can he refuse the request of the marriage of the vassal states who yearn for Chinese civilization?

All ethnic groups in Han, Tibetan, Wei and Hui were all from the Qing Dynasty. How could they distinguish them from each other? Allowing these women to carry flags into the palace is conducive to gathering the hearts of the people and the reunification of the Qing Dynasty for thousands of years.

As for bloodline, it can be stipulated that princes are not allowed to marry foreign women without authorization. In addition, the secret system of establishing a crown prince is enough to ensure the purity of the royal family's bloodline. The inheritance of the titles of princes and nobles can also follow this method."

After saying this, he quietly waited for Kangxi's reaction. He was not prepared for these words, but was caught off guard by Kangxi. In desperation, he could only say it according to his own ideas. He knew that he was quite bold and did not dare to look at Kangxi's face.

Kangxi's expression was not changed at all, but he was secretly dissatisfied in his heart. Is what I have ascended the throne for decades? Is it the performance of the king of one tribe and one country? After a moment of pondering, he couldn't help but glance at Yinzhen. The words of Lao Si's fourteen were secretly consistent with the ethnic integration he said last time. Does this kid really want to have a national integration?

However, what he said was reasonable. If the Qing Dynasty even accepted princesses from several vassal states, how could they be called the sect leader? How could they be called the common ruler of the world? x!.
