Koyuyama Imperial Palace.

Entering June, the weather has been a little hot, Kangxi also under the advice of the Tai Doctor will change the daily walking exercise to once in the morning and evening, after getting up early in the morning, walking around the garden in the backyard for a long time, after bathing, and let the Tai Yi massage acupuncture, after being busy, he began to practice writing with his left hand, with the recovery of action and energy, he has no longer listened to the book to rest, but let Li Dequan read the secret folds of the ministers, and personally replied, of course, they are all very simple, such as 'I bowed, I know, I have read' and so on.

There is a way that the country cannot be without a king for a day, Kangxi does not want to cause instability in the hearts of people everywhere because of his stroke, through the reply to the secret fold, he can make the local feudal officials settle down, he doesn't want others to do it for him, although the recovery is good now, but the right hand must not be tired in the future, and the left-handed word must be familiar to the courtiers.

Just when Kangxi struggled to reply to the secret folds of the local feudal officials, the capital Kuaima had sent the situation of the early dynasty over, Kangxi put down his pen and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but show a smile, the old fourteen has made great progress in controlling the means of the court, and can preemptively stop the expansion of the situation in time, it seems that it is necessary to experience a little more turmoil in order to grow up quickly, and after a little groaning, he ordered: "Withdraw these." ”

Not surprisingly, the old fourteen will definitely come over soon, he can rest for a while, and go to the courtyard with the support of the eunuch, Kangxi sat comfortably in the recliner, shaking slightly, the navy is conquest, hiding from the court, this matter is indeed a little inappropriate, but it is no wonder that the old fourteen, if he really wants to bring this matter to the court, it must be a controversial situation, in the peaceful years, who wants to fight?

He was deeply touched by this kind of thing, and when was he not the opponent of the three feudal domains, the conquest of Taiwan, the fight against Tsarist Russia, and the three conquests of Dzungaria. If it weren't for his efforts to override public opinion and make arbitrary decisions, how could there be the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty today?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh a little, after the Qing Dynasty was like a pass, and after the Central Plains was settled, the Manchurian and Mongolian nobles began to be content with pleasure and did not want to forge ahead. A group of Hanchen are even more afraid of war, but fortunately, the old fourteen is still competitive, not only ambitious, but also will make money, the navy to conquer Japan, not only does not spend a penny, but also earns 70 million taels of silver to the imperial court, which is the Qing Dynasty after entering the Central Plains, there has never been a war example.

Through this battle, the old fourteenth can be said to have opened the eyes of all the princes and nobles, civil and military ministers. War is no longer a waste of money and labor. It is no longer a reckless force, but can bring huge wealth and benefits to the imperial court, and can vigorously enhance the prestige and strength of the imperial court! Thinking about it, it is precisely because of this that the ministers of the court reacted so violently, they were worried that the old fourteen would continue to bypass the court and start a war in the future, leaving them completely idle.

I think to myself out of mind. Li Dequan tiptoed over and reported softly: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is here." Ask to see you outside. ”

Well, it's so fast, could it be that you came on horseback? Kangxi was slightly stunned for a moment before he said, "Xuan him in." ”

Yinzhen had washed up a little outside, and he was called to see him, and he was busy sorting out and checking the crown of the court clothes, and then walked quickly into the courtyard, after asking for peace, he did not get up, but took off the crown, bowed and said: "This morning in the court, the ministers deliberately attacked the children's secret conquest of the day, the crowd was turbulent, and the ministers were in a hurry, and they blamed the emperor Ama, and the crime should be ten thousand deaths, and the emperor Ama was asked to be severely punished." ”

Kangxi said with a smile: "It's not a mistake, it's really my negligence, there is no need to mention this matter, calm down, give a seat." ”

"Huang Ama is generous and benevolent, which is really a blessing for his sons, and his sons thank Huang Ama for his grace of not sinning." After Yinzhen kowtowed and thanked him, he picked up the crown and sat down calmly.

After sitting down, Kangxi said: "There are two points that I don't know about the "Edo Treaty", one is why Japan wants to ban Shintoism, and the other is the matter of peace with Japan, what do you think? For these two points, Yinzhen knew that Kangxi was definitely going to ask, and he had already prepared, so he calmly replied at the moment: "Hui Huang Ama, Erchen in Shanghai has heard the merchants who trade with Japan mentioned that Japan did not believe in Shinto before Buddhism was passed on, and after the rise of Confucianism, they combined the Shinto doctrine of worshipping Amaterasu with Zhu Xi's science, emphasizing respect for the emperor and loyalty, advocating the independence of Shintoism, thus forming some schools of thought, and vigorously developing, Japanese samurai fought bravely and were not afraid of death, is affected by it.

A complete ban on Shinto will inevitably greatly promote the development of Buddhism, so that on the one hand, it can erase the bloody nature of the Japanese samurai, and on the other hand, it can also curb their belief in respecting the emperor and loyalty.

As for allowing Japan to send royal princesses, princesses of the General's Mansion, and princesses of various feudal lords to come to make peace, it was influenced by Zheng Chenggong. Japan is an island country that worships the strong very much, Zheng Chenggong's mother is Japanese, and Japan also admires Zheng Chenggong very much, so he also specially wrote a drama of "Guoxin Ye Battle", which was widely performed in Japan.

In addition, although the emperors of Japan are known as the eternal lineage, there have been many female emperors, and there are even two generations of emperors, mother and daughter, which is enough to show that the blood of their imperial family is chaotic. ”

Hearing this, Kangxi already understood, the old fourteen wants to completely rule Japan through the descendants of Japanese blood, or divide Japan, or even integrate Japan, I can't help but say that the old fourteen thinks long-term, but will there be more twenty Japanese women? How many women is there now? Moreover, the Qing Dynasty has always attached importance to bloodline, and the Manchu and Han dynasties are still not allowed to intermarry, and accepting a Japanese princess as a concubine will cause discussion? The old fourteenth is the crown prince, there is a way that the upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked, as soon as this mouth is opened, how can the princes and nobles below be restrained?

Although there are many Han concubines in Kangxi's own harem, such as the mothers of the fifteenth and sixteenth are Han people, but after all, he did not make a big show, but covered it up a lot, and only included it in the harem after raising the flag, but the twenty Japanese women of the old fourteen were vigorously engaged, lest the world not know, but this is a little difficult to do.

Kangxi also knew in his heart that the reason why Lao Fourteen wanted to write this in the canon of the "Edo Treaty" was to correct the name of future descendants, so that the Japanese government and the opposition could recognize the existence of bloodline, and that it would be convenient for the Japanese to accept it, and for their descendants to rule over Japan, but was this necessary?

How big is Japan? How many people are there, and why do the old fourteens attach so much importance to Japan? Glancing at Yinzhen, Kangxi said lightly: "Japan is a small country, located in a corner of the country, the size of a projectile, although it has always been ambitious, but the person it relies on is just a natural danger in the strait, otherwise, it is easy to destroy its country, and now, there is a strong navy, which can be subjugated by a gesture, why should we pay more attention to it?" ”

"Back to the Emperor Ama." Yinzhen bowed and said: "Although Japan is a small country, only occupies the land of the projectile, but has a population of 30 million, it can gather hundreds of thousands of people who dare to die in an instant, although it has surrendered, but it is a helpless move, the son of the minister secretly thinks that its threat to the Qing Dynasty, far better than the northwest, think I Daqing, how can it not be a partial Liaodong back then, and the people of the family are only hundreds of thousands, once the wind and clouds meet, it will sweep the Central Plains and determine the world.

There are 30 million people in Japan, not only are there many people who dare to die, but they are also very good at learning, and they really cannot be taken lightly, and the retainers not only want to seal Japan and cut off its contact with the outside world, but also prepare to introduce Lamaism to Japan, and completely weaken Japan. ”

Listening to Yinzhen's comparison, Kangxi couldn't help but be speechless, over the years, the old fourteen's vision has become more and more long-term and unique, and there are very few mistakes, since he is so strict against Japan, he must have his reasons, but how to deal with this matter of kinship? ..., after a slight groan, Kangxi said: "Japan is now a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, and Japan sends princesses and relatives, so other vassal states, such as Korea, Annam, Siam, Sulu, Burma and other vassal states, will they also ask to send princesses and relatives?" We are the suzerain, even if we divide each other, we can't be too different, so won't this harem become the world of women from vassal countries?

Besides, you can accept the women of the vassal countries into the palace, so can the Han people, Tibetans, Uyghurs, and Hui people accept these women? If you don't accept it, it doesn't agree with reason, how can you protect my Manchu ancestry? What will the harem look like? ”

Yinzhen didn't expect Kangxi to be involved in such a big article from this and that, and a Japanese princess and relatives actually involved such a big article, so he was a little caught off guard, and after thinking about it for a while, he secretly laughed that Kangxi only allowed the state officials to set fires, and the people were not allowed to light lamps, and there were no less than 20 Han concubines in Kangxi's own harem, but he turned his head and asked, should he accept Han people?

After a little hesitation, he replied: "Back to Emperor Ama, the retainers think that all vassal states should not refuse any request. After a slight pause, he said slowly: "Huang Ama is not the son of heaven of one clan and one country, but the co-lord of the world, ruling over China and raising all directions, how can he refuse the invitation of all vassal states who yearn for Chinese civilization to marry?"

The Han, Tibetan, Uyghur, and Hui ethnic groups are all the people of the Qing Dynasty, and allowing these women to carry flags into the palace is conducive to gathering the hearts of the people and helping the Qing Dynasty to unify for 10,000 years.

As for the bloodline, it can be stipulated that the princes are not allowed to marry foreign women without authorization, and the secret system of establishing princes is sufficient to ensure the purity of the royal blood, and the succession of princes and lords can also follow this law. ”

After saying it in one breath, he quietly waited for Kangxi's reaction, he was not prepared to say this, but was caught off guard by Kangxi's question, and in a hurry, he could only say it according to his own thoughts, he knew that he was quite bold, and he didn't dare to look at Kangxi's face.

Kangxi's expression on his face did not change, but he was secretly dissatisfied in his heart, I have been on the throne for decades, and what I have done, is it a manifestation of the king of a family and a country? With a slight groan, he couldn't help but glance at Yinzhen, the words of the old fourteen are secretly in line with the national integration he said last time, does this kid really want to have a national integration?

However, what he said is also reasonable, if the princesses of several vassal states in the Qing Dynasty are also timid, how can they be worthy of being called the suzerain, and how can they be called the co-masters of the world?
