Kangxi didn't object to the Eight Banners Innovation, was he deliberately testing himself? Or do you feel the drawbacks of the Eight Banners system, and do you have the heart to innovate? Yinzhen originally wanted to use this to test Kangxi's condition, so naturally he would not be willing easily, and immediately cautiously tested: "Erchen respects the order, but the Eight Banners system is too involved, can Huang Ama point one or two?" ”

Kangxi really doesn't want to think about it anymore, although he has seen the hope of recovery, but he knows very well in his heart that the time required for recovery will not be short, now there is no major event in the court, the old fourteen is already comfortable in handling court affairs, but he can't let him be too idle, idle will make trouble, if he can drum up a system that is more superior than the Eight Banners system or more suitable for the current national conditions of the Qing Dynasty, he is naturally happy to see it, after all, the hard wounds of the Eight Banners system are too obvious

Glancing at Yinzhen, Kangxi slowly said: "The Eight Banners system is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and it affects the whole body, and it must be cautious. ”

Listening to Kangxi's words, Yinzhen was surprised and delighted, Kangxi made it clear that he had the idea of innovation, but he had very high requirements for the new law, not only to be conducive to the success, but also to open up, this is not like a fake, he hurriedly kowtowed: "Erchen must learn from the strengths of a hundred schools, and try his best to draw up a system that is in line with the national conditions of the Qing Dynasty, suitable for external development, and conducive to domestic defense for Huang Ama's reference." ”

Kangxi nodded slightly. Old Fourteen said so. Thinking about it, he already had a specific idea in his heart, but at this time, he didn't want to ask more, nodded slightly, and was silent.

Seeing that Kangxi was silent, Yinzhen knew that this was the prelude to his routine call to kneel An, and through Kangxi's attitude towards the innovation of the Eight Banners system, Yinzhen boldly judged that Kangxi's condition had taken a turn for the better, otherwise Kangxi would try his best to be stable. How can there be any intention to carry out any innovation, and it is also the innovation of the Eight Banners system.

After a little hesitation, Yinzhen spoke: "Emperor Ama, the Beiyang Fleet is on an expedition to the Americas. The time is scheduled for the beginning of June, this is the first expedition of the Qing navy, and the ministers implor that they can go to Manila to hold a ceremony for the Beiyang Fleet, and hope that the emperor will allow it. ”

The old fourteen is going to Manila to send the Beiyang Fleet on an expedition? What does he mean? Kangxi had to cheer up, the old fourteen is testing himself? Or do you want to go to Manila to boost morale? The naval expedition and the grand departure ceremony are also reasonable, but the old fourteen proposed to leave Beijing at this time, so he was not worried about changes in the capital? He's so relieved to be eighth? Not worried about your condition? Or is it that Lao Fourteen has seen that his condition has improved? That didn't let him go out of Beijing.

Slightly groaned. Kangxi said: "A round trip to Nanyang, it took nearly two months, my condition is not stable, the government affairs of the DPRK and China must be handled by you, and the Nanyang Fleet has already conquered the Wazi Kingdom in the east, the military situation is ever-changing, and the center cannot leave people for a day, how can you travel far?" The departure ceremony will be sent separately. After a slight pause, he said, "I will send Prince Yu Baotai to Manila." ”

Yinzhen couldn't help but feel disappointed, and he was ready to send the Beiyang Fleet to the aftermath. Go north along the Kuroshio and go to Edo to take a look, this is a complete bath, and I don't know what Kangxi is worried about? He had no choice but to bow down and say, "Your son." //”

Kangxi nodded and said, "I'm tired today." Kneel down. ”

After looking at Yinzhen and being discharged from the hospital, Kangxi ordered: "Call the two imperial doctors Zhou and Luo to come over." ”

The two imperial doctors were waiting in the side room near the left. Hearing that Kangxi summoned him, he hurried over, and after the two of them kowtowed, Kangxi said: "I heard that soaking in hot springs often is beneficial to the recovery of hemiplegia, do you know?" Listening to Kangxi's words, Zhou and Luo, the two imperial doctors, couldn't help but secretly complain, hot springs have a certain curative effect on wind diseases, but not for everyone, there are also examples of soaking in hot springs and strokes, in Kangxi's situation, where do they dare to soak in hot springs without having anything to do? If it's good, it's not good, but it's going to lose its head, saying that it doesn't know, it's absolutely impossible, but knowing but not speaking, it's even more punishable, both of them are in a cold sweat on their backs, but it's not possible to say this back.

After a little hesitation, Imperial Doctor Zhou said cautiously: "Back to the emperor, hot spring recuperation, from the Qin and Han dynasties and flourished in the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong became ill in his later years, paralyzed by wind, and also tried to treat wind disease with hot springs, but in the end he accidentally swallowed the pill and collapsed, Weichen and others did not dare to speak, and hoped that the emperor would forgive his sins." ”

Kangxi nodded slightly, the imperial doctor has always been cautious, it has always been better to have more than one thing, Tang Taizong was paralyzed by a stroke, and he used a hot spring to treat wind disease, and died violently, which is unlucky, it is normal for them to avoid it, and it can be seen from the time that what the old fourteen said is true, it seems that the old fourteen is very concerned about his recovery, which makes him very pleased.

However, he still had scruples about soaking in the hot springs in early summer, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Is there a season for soaking in hot springs?" ”

Imperial Physician Luo hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, you can take a bath in all seasons, take a bath in spring, take a solid rise in the sun, bathe in the spring in summer, get rid of the temperature in the summer, soak in the spring in autumn, moisten the lungs and worms, wash the pool in winter, and warm the dantian." ”

Seeing that Kangxi was quite tempted, Imperial Physician Zhou hurriedly reserved a way to retreat, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the emperor can be said to be recovering well now, and it is really not appropriate to make extraneous branches." ”

Kangxi nodded, he knew that these imperial doctors were all afraid of taking a little responsibility, he was anxious now, hoping to recover as soon as possible, it was beneficial, and he had to give it a try. Again, Xiaotangshan Hot Spring is only fifty miles away from Beijing, which does not affect the monitoring of the capital, but can avoid the old 14th day to come to ask for peace, and he groaned slightly, and then he said: "Spread the decree, move the Xiaotangshan Palace tomorrow." ”

Although he could not go south to Manila to hold a ceremony for the naval expedition to the Americas, nor did he have the opportunity to go to Edo to ravage the Tokugawa shogunate, Yinzhen was in a good mood all the way, and Kangxi's condition was stable and showed signs of improvement, which was an out-and-out good news for him for the entire Qing Dynasty.

Out of Changchun Garden, Yinzhen did not rush back to Yuqing Palace, but went straight to Prince Yu's mansion, time is urgent, he must pass the decree as soon as possible, urging Prince Yu Baotai to set off early tomorrow morning. so as not to delay the time of the expedition.

Prince Yu's Mansion is located in the north of the middle road of Taiji Factory in Dongcheng District. It is not far from the eighth elder brother's Lianjun Palace, Baotai has no errands, Kangxi is seriously ill, he does not dare to wander outside, these two months have been boring in the mansion to play birds and boil eagles to tease the maid, listen to the big eunuch Wang Xilai to report that the prince Yinzhen is coming, slightly stunned, can't help but be happy, and asked repeatedly: "The prince is from Changchun Garden?" ”

"The master is like a god, and the servant inquired carefully. The prince did come from Changchun Garden. Wang Xi hurriedly flattered.

Bao Tai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, it must be the emperor's will, and immediately ordered: "Order the people to open the middle door to welcome the crown prince." ”

Yinzhen got off the sedan chair in front of the gate of Prince Yu's mansion. As soon as he got off the sedan chair, Baotai took a group of people to greet him, and after seeing the salute, Yinzhen smiled and said, "Why should the third brother be so polite." ”

"The crown prince is here in person, how dare Baotai slack off." Bao Tai smiled and said, "The prince is here by order?" ”

Yinzhen nodded and said, "The third brother does have a decree, but the eunuch who passed the decree should arrive later." ”

Upon hearing this, Bao Tai couldn't help but be overjoyed. So solemn, it seems to be a serious errand, he hurriedly bowed down to invite Yinzhen into the house, the two entered the hall and sat down, Yinzhen said with a smile: "The third brother is bored in the capital, the emperor will send you to Nanyang to relax." "..., to the South Seas? Bao Tai couldn't help but be inexplicable, what did he do to send him to Nanyang? After a moment's thought, he asked, "What about the navy?" ”

Yinzhen nodded and said, "Go to Manila to preside over the Navy Departure Ceremony." ”

It's a good errand, and Bao Tai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it. Immediately, he asked in a deep voice, "What does the prince command?" ”

"Time is relatively tight, the expedition to the Americas, must leave at the beginning of June, and the expedition time cannot be delayed because of the expedition ceremony." Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "You will go to Beijing tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow you will board a ship in Tianjin and rush directly to Manila." The return trip is not in a hurry, and there are many storms in the South China Sea in June. ”

Bao Tai was overjoyed when he heard it. The old fourteen was really interesting, and he even found a reason, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it the naval warship that sent me south?" ”

Yinzhen smiled slightly: "Safety is paramount, the third brother will take my 'Nanhai No. 1' to the south, smooth sailing, and will arrive in Manila in late May." After a slight pause, he continued: "Tell Yande and Del Xu, be cautious in everything, don't rush in, hold the port of Acapulco is the first priority, and try to play the role of the governor of Luzon, Mairo." ”

"Baotai must tell the truth." Bao Tai hurriedly bowed.

As soon as he returned to Yuqing Palace, Yinzhen sent someone to call Fang Bao, Kangxi has the idea of reforming the Eight Banners system, he must seize this opportunity, as long as Kangxi can make a start, or make a slight change, after he ascends the throne, he can justifiably innovate wantonly, this is a rare opportunity.

was meditating in his heart on which aspect to start, Kangxi was more acceptable, and the crown princess Wan Yan Hairuo walked in with a smile on her face under the escort of the two open-faced girls at the autumn equinox and Xiangqiao, and as soon as the two girls came in, they squatted down to say goodbye.

Seeing Hairuo with a smile on his face, Yinzhen got up and smiled: "Isn't there good news today?" He said as he reached out and gave up his seat.

After Hai Ruo sat down with a smile, he said: "Congratulations to the prince, the imperial doctor has taken the pulse of Sister Jianing, it is a happy pulse." ”

Jianing has it! As soon as Yinzhen reacted, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, in the past few years, he has always been worried that he may not have any more children in his life, but he didn't expect to become the prince and let Jianing get pregnant.

"And a happy event." Hai Ruo glanced at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, and then said, "Sister Mengjiao has returned to the palace." ”

Zhang Mengjiao returned to Beijing, Yinzhen had already received the news a few days earlier, but he was not surprised, nodded, and then smiled: "Today's happy events are gathered together, borrow your place to congratulate them in the evening." ”

"It's nature." Hai Ruohan said with a smile: "People who don't come to tell the prince in advance." ”

"Okay, I'll rest early today." Yinzhen said, and then advised: "Zhang Mengjiao is from a small family, and the court etiquette is what she lacks the most, so you can find time to teach her more." ”

"The concubine respects the prince's order." Hai Ruo pursed her lips and smiled.

Bao Fuquan probed outside the door at this time and said, "Prince, Fang Zanshan has arrived." ”

Hai Ruo got up and said, "Don't disturb the prince's official business, the concubine will retire first." ”

Outside the door, Fang Bao was wearing a six-grade official robe and stood solemnly, Yinzhen in order to facilitate his entry and exit from Yuqing Palace, he had made up for the position of Zuo Zanshan of Zhan Shifu, from the sixth grade, although it was a little inconspicuous in the capital, but as soon as the official was conferred, it was from the sixth grade, but it was much higher than the serious first-class jinshi who entered Hanlin, Fang Bao was also content, with the official body, and the prince was still worried about the slow promotion?

Fang Bao was thinking about what Yinzhen was looking for him in his heart, and suddenly saw Yinzhen sending Hairuo out, he was slightly stunned, he already realized that this was the crown princess, and immediately knelt down on the spot, Yinzhen said with a smile: "Don't ask the princess for peace yet." ”

As soon as he heard that it was indeed the crown princess, Fang Bao hurriedly bowed and said, "Weichen Fang Bao, please say hello to the prince and the princess." "...,"You are Fang Bao?" Hai Ruo glanced at him with interest, he had long heard that Fang Bao was ugly, but he was extremely talented and was highly used by Yinzhen, Hai Ruo was a woman, and his gossip heart was also very heavy.

Hearing Hai Ruo's question, Fang Bao hurriedly replied: "It's Weichen." ”

Fang Bao knelt down because of the line, and didn't dare to look at the crown princess, he had been prostrate on the ground, Hairuo couldn't see his face, but it was not good for him to raise his head, he couldn't help but hesitate, looked back at Yinzhen, and saw that Yinzhen just smiled faintly, but didn't say anything, so he turned around and went.

Yinzhen didn't know Hairuo's thoughts, but Fang Bao was going to be of great use in the future, he didn't want to leave a bad impression on Fang Bao, and when Hai Ruo left, he smiled and said, "Get up." ”

Fang Bao is self-aware of his appearance, the crown princess's thoughts, as soon as he changed his mind, he had already guessed, seeing Yinzhen protecting him so much, his heart was not hot, but he pretended not to know, got up and followed into the hall.

After he sat down, Yinzhen said: "Today's Your Majesty, mentioning the innovation of the Eight Banners system, the emperor is quite moved, and he has drawn up a specific charter, which aspect do you think is the easiest for the emperor to accept?" ”

The prince wants to carry out the reform of the Eight Banners system? As soon as Fang Bao heard this, he was startled, the Eight Banners system is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and it is the fundamental interests of the Manchurians.

Kangxi is quite excited? Do you want to put the prince in danger, or do you really want to innovate? Fang Bao immediately frowned, why did the prince take such a dangerous move? Could it be that the emperor's condition has changed? After thinking about it for a while, the prince's meaning seems to be that he is only ready to change one aspect, and it is the aspect that Kangxi is most interested in, and it seems that the prince also knows that this matter is difficult.
