Zhenwu's harem is not very fulfilling now, and the green-headed card is only about ten yuan. Seeing the little eunuch coming up with a plate, Zhenwu glanced casually, but asked suddenly: "Where are the arrangements for those women sent by Japan?"

When he heard this, Bao Fuquan, who was waiting beside him, hurriedly bowed and said, "I have not yet entered the palace, but I am still studying etiquette in the Ministry of Rites."

Learn etiquette in the Ministry of Rites? There are so many teaching nannies in the palace, why do you need to study in the Ministry of Rites? Zhenwu frowned slightly, but he did not say anything. He thought that he was the Minister of the Interior, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Zongren Office were worried or resisted these women from vassal states of unknown origin. He also had to investigate for a while or advised him. The palace had too many rules, and most of them were ancestral systems. If there were too many changes, it would inevitably be criticized. When Kangxi took over to Rehe, he would arrange these women from the foreign vassal in Changchun Garden to save trouble.

After a while of silence, Zhenwu turned his head and glanced at more than a dozen green-headed cards, pondered slightly, and then reached out to turn over the green-headed card of Jianing, who had been named Shufei.

At this time, the eunuch had tasted all the dishes and was waiting for Zhenwu to have a meal. There were many rules for using the meal. He could not scoop the dishes by himself, nor could he speak. Which dish Zhenwu wanted to eat could only be seen with his eyes. When he looked at the dish, the eunuch Chuan would immediately move the dishes closer and scoop the dishes into a cloth dish with a spoon. Even if it was a dish that Zhenwu liked to eat, the eunuch Chuan would immediately remove the dish after scooping it twice. Moreover, the dish would not appear on the table for ten days and half a month. This is called "no more than three spoons of food can be eaten."

This is not intentionally making things difficult, but because of the safety of Zhenwu, his meal conditions and preferences cannot easily grasp the rules to prevent them from being exploited, taking advantage of loopholes or taking advantage of their preferences.

All the procedures and rules for eating are strictly followed by the ancestral family law. Zhenwu had no room for opposition. After a little overreach, several eunuchs who passed on the meal knelt on the ground while begging and brought out Kangxi, Shunzhi and Huang Taiji, so that Zhenwu would lose all his appetite and be uninterested.

Zhenwu was naturally interested in this flashy, unreliable, light and tasteless, and tedious meal, so he had to have a small meal after eating. However, he had already made up his mind to rectify the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace. He had to rectify the imperial tea kitchen.

After having eaten, Suochao rinsed his mouth, washed his hands and face, he was about to go out to disperse, but Bao Fuquan said softly: "Emperor, Prince Lian Yinsi, please hand in the sign to see him."

Zhenwu looked out the window. Lao Ba came here at this time. It must be that there was news from the Japanese delegation. He couldn't help but feel a little happy. He casually ordered: "Xuan."

Yinsi walked in quickly, and along the way, he saw the eunuch in the imperial kitchen lined up with red painted food boxes, and he couldn't help but secretly called luck. If he really caught up with Zhenwu for meals, he would be in trouble. He would be extremely honorable to accompany the emperor to have a meal. In fact, he would suffer a lot of gratitude and he would suffer a lot of gratitude. He would feel that only foreign ministers would have that feeling.

After quickly entering the Donghun Pavilion, Yinsi quickly glanced at the situation inside the Pavilion. Zhenwu was wearing casual clothes. However, he sat cross-legged on the big kang. It seemed that he had guessed his purpose. He didn't dare to think too much, so he hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed to greet him. When he got up, Zhenwu smiled and said, "Give him a seat and enjoy tea." After he sat down, Zhenwu continued, "But there is news in Japan?"

"Go back to the emperor." Yinsi bowed slightly and said, "I just met Kummi of the Japanese mission at the Huitong Hall." As he said that, he carefully repeated the details of the reception Kummi of the Ai.

The Edo shogunate was in a financial crisis, and the currency system was on the verge of collapse. The powerful vassals in various places were ready to move. Satobu's expression became solemn. Japan's precious metals were outflowing in large quantities. This is true. The price of gold and silver in Japan was lower than that of the anti-dollar market. Not only the Qing Dynasty, the Dutch, and the South Asian vassals all liked to trade goods for gold and silver with Japan, especially Japan's gold.

Last year, the Qing Dynasty drew more than three million taels of gold from Edo in one breath. In addition, the Edo Treaty lost power and humiliated the country, so the prestige of the Edo shogunate naturally plummeted. It is not surprising that this situation occurred. Kinmi Akai's words are extremely credible. Moreover, it is the peak season for trade with Japan in a blink of an eye, and he dare not deceive it.

Civil strife in Japan is a good thing, but the Qing Dynasty is not ready to conquer Japan again. Now the Nanyang Fleet is far away in Europe, and the Beiyang Fleet is trying hard to expand the Americas. The naval recruits in Tianjin and Shanghai are still stepping up their training and cannot draw out their troops at all. This is the headache for Zhenwu. After a while of silence, he asked in a deep voice: "What does your brother think about this?"

As he entered the palace, Yinsi was also thinking about this matter. When Zhenwu asked, he thought about it, he pondered: "Go back to the emperor, Japan has been in seclusion for nearly a hundred years. My understanding of Japan is only the superficial. Japan is lonely and has a small territory, but has a large population and is mountainous. Instead of spending energy to conquer, it is better to provoke civil strife and let them kill each other to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Although the Edo Shogunate is currently in crisis, it has occupied a rich land and has been operating for more than a hundred years. Even if the powerful vassals in various places join forces to compete with it, they will not be able to replace it in a short period of time. The court might as well sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, wait for both of them to lose money and then fight. What is lacking now is intelligence on Japan. The court should send capable condemnants to stay in Edo and investigate and transmit relevant information at any time."

Zhenwu was slightly surprised when he heard this. Why did the eighth brother strongly advocate using troops to Japan? After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Why did the eighth brother strongly advocate conquering Japan?"

After hearing this, Yinsi was stunned. Did the fourteenth brother want to conquer Japan? It is impossible. Judging from his various methods of Japan, he ignored Japan's life and death, and did not look like he wanted a vassal state. Could it be that he was comparing his own vision? After pondering for a moment, he bowed and said, "Back to the emperor, the Qing Dynasty's route to America passes through Japan. If he set sail from Edo, Japan, it can shorten the voyage and greatly enhance the safety of the long-distance voyage."

Zhenwu was secretly funny. Lao Ba actually started from this point of view. In fact, after mastering the direction and scope of the Black Tide, he could go to the Americas from Shanghai Port, which could not shorten the voyage at all. However, this view can be used to stimulate the princes and nobles. Once this statement is thrown out, they are probably going to strongly support the Battle of Japan. It will take a long time to explore the direction and scope of the Battle of the Black Tide. With this time, it is enough for him to prepare for the Battle of Japan.

Thinking of this, Sadato nodded slightly and said, "Big Brother said this very much. Although Japan has many mountains, it has many good ports. Edo and Nagoya are rare good ports." As he said that, he paused slightly before continuing: "The civil strife in Japan is a rare opportunity for the Qing Dynasty. It is not enough to prepare for the navy at present. It is impossible to intervene in large quantities. However, such a good opportunity, we cannot just watch the wall. In addition, the Edo shogunate cannot be overthrown for the time being. There is still more than two million gold to be compensated, so how can we fall?

Since they asked for assistance, they could satisfy them. Firearms and gunpowder could be exchanged for the firearms in the hands of the Beijing Firearms Camp, but they could not provide any material for free, so they could buy them with gold. In addition, Nian Gengyao went to Japan for enthronement and investigated and learned about the situation in Japan."

Nian Gengyao was the envoy of the enthronement? Zhenwu was the Shengxin silently appointed Nian Gengyao as the general of the Conquest. Yinsi had no time to think about it and hurriedly bowed, "I respect the decree." He raised his body and then he tentatively said, "I have tentatively tried the matter of pledge. I was quite resistant to the situation. I am afraid that I would not agree easily, should I continue to put pressure or make some adjustments, and I would like to ask the Emperor for the Holy Decision."

Sadato pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "The current Japanese general Tokugawa Ichiji is young and has no brothers and children. If Tokugawa Ichijiji is the master, the Edo shogunate would have to fight to the death and let them choose two people from their neighbors to send them. However, the prince of the Japanese king must be sent, otherwise the new vassal relationship will not be promoted, and there is no room for negotiation."

After hearing that Satobu gave in so much, Yinsi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Near the clan nephew was insignificant, and the Japanese king was just a puppet. Even if he sent the prince to the capital as a qualifier, there would be no substantial loss besides the reputation of the Edo shogunate, and there would be no control. Kanmi Nai should not have too much resistance. In this way, this matter would be much easier. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Since, honor the order."

After taking a sip of tea, Zhenwu turned the topic with a smile, "My brother and his wife are in love with each other, but they only have one son and one daughter. This time, Japan has sent twenty women, and I will reward you a few, how about it?"

Yinsi's legitimate concubine Guo Luoluo Mingyue is the granddaughter of Prince An Yuele. Although the two have a deep relationship, Guo Luoluo Mingyue is a famous jealous person in the capital. Zhang, who gave birth to a son and a daughter, is still a concubine. How dare he make trouble for nothing? He took a few Japanese women. At that moment, he stood up and knelt down and said, "The emperor has given me a gift, but I dare not refuse, but now my affairs are complicated and I have a lot of trouble. I am afraid that I will fall into a gentle village and cannot extricate myself. I beg you to pray that the emperor will take it back."

Guo Luoluo Mingyue is jealous and famous in the capital. Zhenwu has always known that he wanted to use this to destroy her arrogance. Seeing that Yinsi refused so hard, he would not be able to force others. He smiled and said, "The Eagle Brother doesn't have to be too polite, just sit down and say." After Yinsi sat down, he continued: "The family of Zhongming and Ding Food, the family of poetry, books, and the only son is not conducive to becoming a talent. The Eagle Brother should pay more attention to it."

Seeing that the matter of Zhenwu General was exposed, Yinsi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If he really wanted to give a few Japanese women, the mansion would have been full of chaos and uneasiness. After he breathed a sigh of relief, he bowed and said, "The emperor's sincere teachings will be remembered in my heart."

"Kneel down and rest." Zhenwu said with a smile.

When Yinsi withdrew, Zhenwu looked at the sky, walked around the hall for a few times, and then left the Qianqing Palace, without calling him a man, and walked straight to the harem. Seeing that he was going to the harem, Dachun and other guards followed behind slowly. Seeing that he was heading to the Shenwu Gate, Dachun couldn't help but complain secretly, knowing that the master was on a whim and was going to go out of the palace for a private visit, and hurriedly arranged personnel.

After leaving the palace, Zhenwu turned west again and walked through Taiyechi and headed towards Xizhimen without any hesitation. Dachun and others did not dare to say much. After deciding the direction, they just tried their best to arrange personnel and protect themselves from front and back to ensure their safety.

After walking for a while, Zhenwu felt tired, so he waved to the yuyu who followed him. The yuyu was following him anytime and anywhere, even in the palace. However, after leaving the palace, the yuyu was replaced with an inconspicuous sedan chair. After getting on the sedan chair, Zhenwu ordered: "Go to the street in front of Xizhimen, Dingjiajing."

After hearing the news, Dachun was stunned. He thought he was going to visit the Prince of Xun on a private tour or back to his original Prince of Heng's mansion, why did he go to the streets of Xizhimen in front of Xizhimen, Dingjiajing? After thinking for a moment, he had already realized that the emperor was going to visit the Prince of Zhizhi's mansion to see the banned prince. He understood the destination and he was busy making arrangements again.

When they arrived at the gate of the Prince Zhi's Mansion, Zhenwu got out of the sedan chair. The soldiers guarding the door had already received a notice. As soon as they saw Zhenwu get out of the sedan chair, Ersang, the genius of the military guard camp, brought everyone to usher in, greeted the court, and greeted him with a neat greeting, respectfully: "The genius of the military guard camp, Ersang, and others welcomed the emperor."

Zhenwu glanced at everyone and said lightly: "Flat." As he said that, he walked up the steps and glanced at the sealed door that only allowed one person to enter and exit. He couldn't help but frowned slightly, but he didn't say a word. He walked in alone.

In the palace of the county prince, when the eldest son of the county, he heard the news that Zhenwu came to visit the mansion, he couldn't help but tremble all over. Since Zhenwu ascended the throne, he had been looking forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that the fourteenth brother would give him a favor and lift his ban on him. Although the fourteenth brother went ascended the throne very smoothly, he could not exert any strength. But he always had a premonition that the fourteenth brother would lift his ban on him.

After waiting for more than half a year, when he was almost desperate, he suddenly heard that the Fourteenth Emperor came to visit the mansion in person. Why didn’t he be excited? Since the Fourteenth Emperor was willing to visit, it means that he was considering this brotherly love and lifting the ban, which was very hopeful. He immediately packed up and led a group of concubines to the back of the screen wall at the gate to wait respectfully. Seeing Zhenwu in full dress, he was stunned for a moment and immediately took the lead in kneeling down. He said respectfully: "The sinner Yinzhen, welcome the emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live!" Then he knelt three times and kowtowed the great ceremony.

This was the first time that Yinzhen had met the saint after Zhenwu ascended the throne. He performed great rituals from the monarch and ministers. This was not only a necessary one, but also a sign of his heart. After Zhenwu received the rituals calmly, he reached out and helped him: "The emperor's brother is calm."

After getting up, Yinzhen bowed to the side and reached out and said, "Prince, please."

After sitting in Yin'an Palace, Zhenwu looked up and down at Yinzhen. Seeing that he looked good, he couldn't help but nodded slightly and said, "Last time I came to visit the emperor's brother, I once told the emperor to strengthen his training and read military books frequently. I wonder if the emperor's brother has ever been honored?"

When he heard this, Yinzhen couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Now that the Fourteenth Old has ascended the throne and the throne has been consolidated, he still reiterated the old saying, "It's time to reactivate himself. He hurriedly got up and kneeled down to reply, but Zhenwu waved his hand and said, "There is no outsider, just his brother, there is no need to be too polite. Just sit and reply."

"I thank the emperor for the grace." Yinzhen bowed to thank the emperor before sitting down, and then bowed and said, "The heavenly words are pure and honest. I dare not forget them for a day. For more than a year, I have been working hard every day, reading military books diligently, cultivating my character, and never slacking off for a day."

Zhenwu nodded slightly and said, "The Emperor Ama's condition has stabilized now. He lives in Changchun Garden for a long time. The weather is getting hot. You may have to stay in the Summer Resort. The Emperor's brother is in his prime and should cherish his health, fulfill his filial piety to the Emperor Ama, and be loyal to the court."

Yinxian thought about it and knew that Zhenwu was explaining that his ban was not lifted yet. Kangxi was still alive. He had to wait until Kangxi moved to the Summer Resort to lift him. He was loyal to the court and clearly expressed that he wanted to re-activate him. After thinking about these two meanings, he couldn't help but be very excited. He had been banned in the four heavens for six years. Now he finally saw hope. He hurriedly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said calmly: "The emperor's teachings, the criminals must remember the five internal organs."

I don't know how many years the Yin'an Palace has not been opened, and it smells strange. Zhenwu really didn't want to stay for too long. He stood up and said, "The emperor now needs to learn more about the changes in the Qing Dynasty, read more about the Beijing News, and study the Kunyu Wanguo Map with great care." As he said that, he walked out.

Studying Kunyu and Wanguo Map? Yinzhen was slightly stunned, and then quickly stood up and sent Zhenwu out of the mansion. The officials from the Interior Affairs Office and the Clan Mansion had already arrived and stood by the gate when they heard the news. When Zhenwu came over, they immediately knelt down and greeted each other.

Zhenwu glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "How did you do the job? Look at what the flowers and plants in this yard have been ruined? And Yin'an Palace, what does it smell like?"

The officials were scolded for nothing. They were smart enough to realize that the eldest prince, who had been banned for six years, was about to turn over again. Zhenwu paused slightly, and pointed to the high wall that had been shattered with one hand and said, "Dropping down all the walls, and providing them on a daily basis, as is the case with the prince."

Everyone immediately reacted and hurriedly said, "Slaves and others are the decrees."

Yinzhen, who was behind, heard the wall and still provided daily expenses according to the rules of the prince, felt aroused in his heart. He knelt down and kowtowed three times, but couldn't speak. He had been in a circle for six years, had seen too many rolling eyes, too many sarcasm, and couldn't bear the cowardly air, and couldn't express the bitterness. At this moment, it seemed that the dam broke out from his chest, and he couldn't help but feel a soreness in his nose.

Zhenwu turned around and looked at him, stopped talking, and left the mansion and left.

A group of officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the clans, the generals of the military camp, and the eunuchs rushed to Yinzhen and congratulated him. Those who had been negligent before and who were too disloyal to speak and act, quickly explained that this old man was not a good man, but he was the master who dared to take the slaughter of the crown prince. He was worried about him and would not have a safe birthday in the future.

Yinzhen had no intention of disturbing them, and after a few words of silence, he asked, "Who knows what happened to Yinreng?"

An official from the clan official bowed and said, "When I say goodbye, the second master is still in the Xian'an Palace."

The second brother is still surrounded by Xian'an Palace? Yinzhen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. The second brother is the deposed crown prince. The fourth brother probably has more concerns. This time he took advantage of his identity and was free, so he should visit him. It was not the two of them who fought to the death. How could the fourth brother be like today? Everything is God's will.
