Hearing that Kangxi asked about the Eastern Expedition to Japan, Yinzhen nodded and said: "The thirteenth brother Yinxiang has led more than 14 large and small warships of the Nanyang Fleet and more than 13,000 people of the Navy to set off from Shanghai for the Eastern Expedition the day before yesterday. After a slight pause, he continued: "The thirteenth brother also asked the Ryukyu Prefecture to send troops together. ”

Ryukyu sent troops together? How many soldiers can there be in that little place in the Ryukyus? Kangxi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and looked at Yinzhen suspiciously.

Yinzhen hurriedly said: "The thirteenth brother used the flying pigeon to pass the book, and the words were very concise, and the son guessed that it should be that Ryukyu was familiar with the situation in Edo. ”

Kangxi nodded slightly, and this was the only reason, after a little hesitation, he asked, "The Flying Pigeon Biography was newly built by you?" ”

Yinzhen didn't mind giving the fourth child some eye medicine, so he said honestly: "Erchen is the fourth brother's cheaper." The development of the navy urgently needs to develop carrier pigeons, and Nanyang and Australia also need to vigorously develop carrier pigeons. ”

Kangxi nodded slightly, and then said: "After all, carrier pigeons are unstable, and they can only be used as auxiliary means, and they must not be sacrificed." ”

This is the truth, these years, eagles, harriers, pigeon is very easy to lose, especially in the northwest, once the establishment of the pigeon system, major things, must put a few more, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The son must remember the teachings of Huang Ama." ”

Kangxi nodded, and was silent for a long time, seeing that Yinzhen was silent, knowing that there was nothing to do in the court, he groaned slightly, and then asked in an accentuated tone: "Is there anything wrong in the court?" ”

Listening to Kangxi's tone was faintly questioning, Yinzhen couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and quickly recalled in his mind, there is really nothing to do recently, and there is no omission, although he is puzzled. He was still cautious: "If the son is in charge of the country for the first time, if there is any omission. Please also ask Huang Ama to dial. ”

"Vegetarian meal for the corpse." Kangxi muttered. Cai said: "What do the ministers of the upper study do?" No one reminded of such a big event? After a moment's pause, he continued, "I have not had enough energy during this time, and I have neglected the sacrifice, and they will not remind you. ”

It turned out to be a sacrifice. Thinking that something big was missing, Yinzhen's tense nerves couldn't help but relax. Kangxi glanced at him, knowing that he didn't pay attention to it, so he couldn't help but say seriously: "Courtesy, righteousness and shame." The four dimensions of the country. If the four dimensions are not open, the country will perish, the etiquette is the foundation of the country, and the etiquette will be happy and bad, how can it be ignored? There are five scriptures for rituals, and nothing is more important than sacrifices. The major affairs of the country are only worship and Rong. As a prince, how can you be heavy and despise? ”

Yinzhen felt that his back began to sweat, he really didn't pay attention to the sacrifice, he never realized that the sacrifice was so important to a country, and immediately said sincerely: "What the emperor admonishes is that the sons and daughters know their mistakes, and they must devote themselves to studying etiquette." ”

Kangxi bowed his head slightly, and muttered for a long time before saying: "Pass the decree, send the first-class guards Jueluo Outer Mountain, and sacrifice to Changbai Mountain, Yiwulu Mountain and other places." The cabinet attendant scholar Yin Zhana, sacrificed to the tomb of Liao Taizu. The deputy capital is Ma Yunxiao, and the South China Sea is sacrificed. The deputy capital of the prince, the sacrifice of the Gaoyang clan and other tombs.

Cabinet scholar Cai Shengyuan, worship the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan and other mausoleums. Cabinet attendant scholar Cha Bina, sacrifice to Xiyue Huashan, and Jiangdu and other places. The cabinet attendant bachelor Laduhun, sacrifice to the south town of Huiji Mountain. ”

Yinzhen was secretly frightened when he heard it, even if the mausoleum is sacrificed, the mountains have to be sacrificed? After a slight pause, Kangxi continued: "Zhan Shi Zhou Qiwei, sacrifice Yu Mausoleum, and Ming Taizu Mausoleum. Squire Lang Sun Zhu, sacrifice Dongyue Taishan and other places. Liao Tengxuan, a waiter, sacrificed to Shaohao, Jin Tianshi and other tombs, Confucius Queli. The squire Li Xianfu, the sacrifice of Yue Songshan and other places.

The deputy capital Yu Shi Ming'an, sacrifice Taihao Fuxi and other mausoleums. Zuo Tongzheng Luo Zhan, sacrifice Nanyue Heng Mountain. Senator Chen Ruxian, sacrifice to Emperor Yan Shennong's mausoleum. Cabinet scholar Zou Shixuan, sacrifice Nuwa and other tombs. Taichang Temple Qing Li Minqi, sacrifice Beiyue Hengshan and other places. And also reward the provinces and green flag soldiers. Seeing that Kangxi was reciting these mausoleums and mountains to be sacrificed, a group of officials also came with their mouths open, and they also wanted everyone to reward the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion in various provinces.

After resting for a long time, Kangxi continued: "You have always been more important than Rong, more important than business, and light courtesy, for the ministers is acceptable, for the king is a taboo, all dynasties and dynasties are based on etiquette, according to etiquette, law to guide the people, etiquette and law complement each other, etiquette is the most important thing, you as a prince, you must not be neglected."

The rules of sacrifice are recorded in detail in the "Zhou Li" and "The Book of Rites", and are explained in the "Book of Rites and Justice", "University Yanyi Supplement" and other scriptures. You must read it carefully when you go back, and I will always ask questions. ”

"Son's Honor." Yinzhen replied respectfully, but he was extremely depressed in his heart, and he wanted to endorse it? I'm already the crown prince, and I still have to endorse?

Kangxi said this for a long time, felt a little tired, rested for a while, but changed the conversation, and said: "Flag affairs rectification, planning the livelihood of the flag people, do you have a specific plan?" ”

Yinzhen secretly slandered in his heart, I was busy all day long, how could I have time to think about it, but I didn't think about it, it was obviously inappropriate, and he groaned slightly, and he found that this was an excellent opportunity to test Kangxi, so he immediately bowed and said: "Huang Ama, the ministers secretly think that the Eight Banners system must be reformed, otherwise, the livelihood of the banner people will be a bottomless pit." ”

Revolutionize the Eight Flags System! Kangxi was shocked when he heard this, the old fourteen is really bold, this involves the fundamental interests of the Manchurians, and the rectification of the flag is still walking on thin ice, let alone innovation?

Seeing that Kangxi was silent, Yinzhen knelt down carefully, plucked up the courage and said: "Huang Ama, the Eight Banners system was created by Emperor Taizu Gao, and the sons and ministers dared to say that the Eight Banners system was established to meet the needs of war, in fact, it is just a wartime system. ”

The Eight Banners system is a wartime system! Kangxi Dengshi, he has never heard someone comment on the Eight Banners system in this way, and he feels quite novel, and after thinking about it carefully, the Eight Banners system itself is indeed a kind of integration of soldiers and people, and all the people are soldiers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a wartime system.

This old fourteenth, I haven't heard of him for a long time, I didn't expect that this time I would dare to use the Eight Banners system, I don't know what new ideas he has? The livelihood of the banner people has now become a big problem, the methods that can be used have been exhausted, and it is still ineffective, with the increasing number of Dingkou, it has now become a huge burden for the imperial court, and if it is not properly solved, sooner or later the imperial court will be dragged across.

Kangxi thought for a headache, quickly stopped, and asked slowly: "How to innovate, do you have a charter?" ”

In this matter, where did Yinzhen dare to open his mouth indiscriminately, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Erchen has no specific ideas now, this matter is related to the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and Erchen does not dare to think deeply." ”

"Is there anything else you dare not think?" Kangxi smiled slightly and said, "It's a big deal, you think about it slowly." ”
