Chapter 341: The fourth child is out

Li Guangdi in the ninth year of Kangxi Jinshi, into Hanlin, for more than 40 years, diligent and prudent, consistent, now is seventy years old, is the only remaining veteran minister of the Kangxi Dynasty, more than 40 years of friendship between monarchs and ministers, extraordinary, Kangxi and he can be said to be a monarch and a minister, also a monarch and a minister and a friend.

After everyone withdrew lightly, Kangxi waved his hand and asked Zhang Tingyu, who recorded the living notes, to also withdraw, then got up and paced a few steps casually, and then asked casually: "Jin Qing (Li Guangdi) is a Fujianese, should be good at swimming, right?" ”

Li Guangdi couldn't help but be inexplicable, he didn't know the deep meaning of Kangxi's headless and brainless words, and hesitated slightly before he said: "Let the emperor see and laugh, it was okay when he was young, but now he hasn't been in the water for decades." ”

"Yes." Kangxi nodded slightly, and then said, "Do you know how to rescue the drowning person?" ”

Rescuing a drowning man? Li Guangdi heard this, Kangxi was alluding to the fact that the Fourteenth Master saved him in Tianjin Haihe? Why did he ask? Could it be that the Fourteenth Master has a great disrespectful behavior? Thinking about this, he replied in a deep voice: "Generally, when you go into the water to rescue a drowning person, you often knock them out. Li Guangdi said slowly: "This is the common sense of saving people, the general drowning people are flustered, and it is very likely to entangle the people who come to the rescue, so that both of them drown, so that they will be knocked out, the most trouble-saving and safest." ”

Kangxi nodded, it seems that the old fourteen did not mean to offend, he has been thinking about this matter, so he put it down, paced twice, and then sat back and said, "The rumor you played today, but the old fourteen specially ordered it?" ”

"The emperor sees it clearly." Li Guangdi did not shy away from saying that he had offended the fourth elder brother today, so he naturally wanted to do nothing and completely overturn the fourth elder brother, so as not to cause disaster to the descendants and clansmen in the future, so he continued: "Even if the fourteenth master does not order, Weichen must also inform the emperor of this matter, the open gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent." ”

Kangxi couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Is that really the case?" ”

"Shocking!" Li Guangdi said in a deep voice: "The third elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the seventh elder brother, and the twelfth elder brother are all under the hostage of the prince, and they are the key targets of prevention, how can they have the opportunity to spread rumors?" ”

Kangxi was speechless, even so, the assassination of the fourteenth must have come from the fourth child, I don't know how much power he has formed? You can mobilize two hundred dead soldiers at one time, and you also have skilled Qinghai archers, how many years will this take to operate?

What kind of sons have you cultivated with all your hard work? Kangxi couldn't help but feel sad, the prince mutiny twice and usurped the throne, the fourth quietly operated the underground forces, assassinated his brothers, and the eighth was also in business for many years, snaring brothers, clan ministers, responding to every call, the momentum was terrifying, and the old fourteen was not bad, in just three years, he overwhelmed the princes, and dared to openly threaten and ask for the storage position!

After a long time, Kangxi came back to his senses, the fourth child was eliminated, and only the third, eighth, and fourteenth children could be established, and the third one was definitely not good, and the eighth child was categorically impossible, and the old fourteen was the only one left.

Sighing secretly, Kangxi said: "Jin Qing, what do you think of the old fourteen?" ”

"Heavenly wealth." Lee replied succinctly.

Tianzhong's assets can not be used indiscriminately, this is a praise for the emperor of the Son of Heaven, Kangxi couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, he wanted to talk about talent, vision, and courage, several sons together were not as good as the old fourteen, and what he was worried about was this, the old fourteen had a wider vision than him, and the plot was something he didn't dare to imagine, he wanted the old fourteen to be able to create an unprecedented grand occasion, but also worried about threatening his safety.

After a little hesitation, Kangxi said: "What I ask is how is the heart?" ”

Li Guangdi faintly felt that there was a problem between Kangxi and Yinzhen, wouldn't it be because he was worried that the Fourteenth Master was too strong? This is unimaginable, Kangxi's life, cultural and martial arts have reached the peak of the kings of the past dynasties, and he is extremely confident, how can he worry that the Fourteenth Master is stronger than him? Could it be that there is another big article behind this overseas separation? ..., thinking of this, Li Guangdi was shocked, he was cautious all his life, although he supported Yinzhen, but in this case, he didn't dare to pay too much attention, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, knowing your son is not as good as your father, the fourteenth master has been by the emperor's side since he was a child, and the branch is only three years, if you talk about the understanding of the fourteenth master, the emperor should know best." ”

Kangxi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, what he said was right, but in the past few years, the old fourteen's heart has changed greatly, and he is like a rebel before, and he can't see the traces of the previous one anymore.

The attraction of overseas sub-fiefdom is indeed huge, in the past two days, all the clan nobles, princes and ministers have the word overseas sub-fief on their lips, and the inside information about overseas sub-fiefdom has also come out one after another, first revealed by the ninth elder brother, the old fourteen said, how big the fief is laid, how big the fief is.

Then the fifth elder brother, the seventh elder brother, and the twelfth elder brother revealed that the overseas fiefdoms would delegate all rights, and they were all fertile lands. Immediately afterwards, the news of going to the study also came out, Kangxi was inclined to divide the seal overseas, and the court would discuss the matter early tomorrow.

As soon as these three pieces of news came out, the entire Sijiu City went crazy, this is a fiefdom, this is a real fiefdom, and it is unrestricted, the feud with the greatest authority is more open than the sub-feudal system of the Western Zhou Dynasty! Once there is a chance to be feuded, it is a solid prince! Princes who do whatever they want!

This time, all the royal family relatives and noble ministers with titles above the second rank have been completely attracted, and no one is afraid that overseas territories are far away, the farther away the better, and no one is afraid that it is not safe to take a boat at sea.

For a time, all kinds of hand-drawn simplified versions of the Kunyu Wanguo map immediately became a sought-after commodity, which continent has a fertile climate and suitable climate, which place is suitable for sustainable development, there is room for development, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, where there are gold and silver mines, a group of clan relatives spread out the map to fight for the blush and thick neck, many people are the first time to discover, the original world is so big?

All the missionaries in the capital also became sought-after goods, and they became guests of honor in the mansions of various clans, and questions about the size of the navies of the Western maritime powers such as Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and France, the situation overseas, the size of the overseas territories, the number of troops, the details of the continents, and so on, were asked in detail.

Such a fanatical situation frightened a group of Western missionaries, what stimulated the royal family of the Qing Dynasty? Why is there such a sudden interest in a new route, a new continent? Are they also going to be part of the plundering of the New World? God, this country is already huge and populous, and it would be disastrous to occupy the New World.

A group of royal family relatives, noble ministers after learning that South America, North America, Africa are vast and sparsely populated, and only the existence of indigenous people in the vast land, is even more enthusiastic, as long as you have thousands of iron horses, you can completely create a vast feudal country, land, slaves, mines, pastures, everything at your fingertips, just thinking about it, it makes people excited, yearning.

Roadside Garden.

Lu Pang Garden is near the left of Changchun Garden, it is the garden that Kangxi gave to the eighth elder brother Yinyu, and then there are three days is the Dragon Boat Festival, the lotus flowers in the sea in the garden are just right, on the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, looking at the lotus flowers in the lake pavilion, the ninth elder brother Yinyu sighed and said faintly: "The fourteenth brother is really a big deal, now the whole city is talking about overseas division, a number of royal family relatives, honorable ministers are like falling into evil, even the rich businessmen and giants in the outer city are crazy to inquire about the overseas situation." ”

"What's more?" Ten Elder Brother Yinqi played with a lotus flower in his hand, and said with a smile: "I heard that in the past two days, the land price near the capital has dropped by one percent, Luzon sells land, overseas feudals, rich people, and those with knighthoods are all crazy, and even some small merchants and vendors are clamoring to go to Luzon to be the local owner." ..., to be honest, I was also tempted, taking thousands of cavalry to the American enclosure, unrestrained, whatever you want, how enjoyable it was, it was really a sea and a sky, compared to the empty prince of the capital, it was not a star and a half. ”

"The tenth brother thinks too beautifully, the place in the Americas is vast and sparsely populated, there are no people for dozens of miles, and it is more deserted than outside the customs, how can you be comfortable in the capital, you can't stay for half a year, you have to run back." Yin Yu said disdainfully.

"The most fun thing is people, buying slaves in large quantities, catching slaves, and I'm afraid that I won't have fun? Besides, I'm not going to find a place to play for a year and a half, and then go to the fiefdom when the city is built? Yin Qi said energetically: "As long as you go out of the capital, the world is big, and Lao Tzu is the biggest!" As he spoke, he smiled again: "Brother Jiu, you have a way to make money, and if you go overseas, I'm afraid you can do a lot." ”

"Besides, I have a way to make money, and I am anxious with you." Yinyu's face sank, and he said angrily: "The fourteenth brother also praised me for making money, it was a slap in the face, compared with the old fourteen, we are not fart, just a Luzon Island, I don't know how much silver he can sell." ”

Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi looked at the two bickering with a cheerful expression, and interjected with a smile at this time: "Who is the ninth brother not good to compare with, but compared with the fourteenth brother, like the fourteenth brother, how many can there be in the Qing Dynasty?" ”

Seeing that the starling was in a cheerful mood, Yin Yu felt quite strange and said: "The fourteenth brother has collected the hearts of the people in one fell swoop, and the starling brother is not annoyed?" ”

"What's the trouble?" Yin Yu chuckled and said: "The immortals fight, we will suffer, what can you do if you annoy the immortals?" ”

"Tomorrow's court meeting, I don't know which way the immortals can have the upper hand?" Yin Qi smiled and said with a smile.

Yin Yu squinted a pair of small eyes and said: "Overseas separation, to win the hearts of the people, the old immortal throws a mouse taboo, and may temporarily avoid the edge." ”

"That's not for sure." Yin Yu said with a smile: "Who is Huang Ama? The clouds and rain are overturned, but it is just a thought. ”

"Look at this situation, the fourteenth brother is one force to ten meetings." Yin Yu smiled: "Let's wait to see a good show tomorrow." ”
