Ivan, who was "pinned on high hopes" by Hongyi, raised his own questions about how little Belle knew so much about the situation in Ukraine, in fact, he also asked for everyone present.

As soon as this question came out, Hongyi was in the middle of it.

Today, I once again returned to the Imperial Servant Bureau, my own "self-reserved land", and tried to create an opportunity for this problem, which is also one of the purposes of this trip. In the past few days, Hongyi has long been thinking about how to deal with this seemingly "thorny" question, and he is preparing his answer with an inexplicable anger.

Since the "Imperial Meeting" in the middle of the night of the Double Ninth Festival, the so-called "auspicious fortune from the sky" of the so-called little guy, who had formed a "unified consensus" in the Qing Dynasty and the opposition, has begun to subtly change in the direction of "demon adventuring the world". At the same time, an undercurrent directed at himself is also quietly converging, and Hongyi has to make arrangements and preparations in advance.

Originally, as a traverser, and it was a "tire wear", Hongyi's tone was not to use any prophetic "golden finger", before the king came to the world, everything should run according to the original trajectory of historical development, because who knows that once you pry any floor tile in the historical plane, will the entire building eventually overturn? In other words, if you say one more word and do one more thing, maybe the last "Kangxi who ascended the throne at the age of eight" will become a fictional concept in history! It's really hard to say, because all history is inevitably summed up by chance!

But who made Hongyi a newborn Kangxi? In this historical era, Hongyi has speculated and analyzed countless times in another time and space. Whether it is domestic politics or international politics, it cannot but be said that there is the last historical opportunity for China and all Chinese, including the Manchurians, hidden everywhere!

In China, whether it is Emperor Shunzhi's admiration for sinicization so far, or the empress dowager Bumu Butai's forbearance of this matter, or the loyalty of the "three feudatories" to the central court, in addition to the confrontation between the Qing court and the Southern Ming Dynasty, domestic politics almost everywhere shows the thriving momentum of a new regime! Even the Zheng family, which later entrenched in the southeast and recovered Taiwan, was bargaining with the Qing court at this time. If someone pries any of these hidden doors at this time, perhaps the giant wheel of history will enter a completely different track!

Internationally, regardless of Europe, America and Africa. It's all chaotic and disorganized!

The whole of Europe is experiencing the enormous effects of the wars that have dragged on since the Middle Ages. The Hundred Years' War[1], the Eighty Years' War[2], and the Thirty Years' War[3] took place successively...... These famous wars, named after their short duration, left Europe in chaos with a depleted population, economic stagnation, and a maritime trade that favored commerce and individual behavior. The European powers simply had no time to look eastward.

In particular, Russia and the United Kingdom, the two European countries that were the most diligent in bullying the later generations of "late Qing China". The former is greatly damaged by the fact that you come and go, swallow and spit on the western borders such as the Baltic Sea. The latter is under the leadership of the famous Cromwell, tossing and playing with himself as a "republican" and a "protector" for a while, and the two are too busy to take care of themselves. The countries of the European continent in the middle are also engaged in deceitful and deceitful affairs.

The Americas have been carved up by European countries as precious metal raw materials, and all parties have occasionally advanced and retreated, but they have not been able to form their own unified and independent regional political blocs, and can only play with their European masters across the Atlantic, and the "United States of America" is still far away, and even a political intention does not exist!

Needless to say, in Africa, except for a few places near the coastline, which were opened up as colonies and transit stations because of the needs of ocean trade, the vast number of African black brothers are still living a happy life of drinking blood under the leadership of their respective tribes, and even slash-and-burn farming is high-tech!

Asia, on the other hand, was the continent's heyday in the modern era. In the Chinese civilization circle, regardless of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Central Dynasty is still the unrivaled boss. As a vassal and tributary state of the Ming Dynasty, although the surrounding countries were still in a state of watching the fire from the other side of the strait and seeing the wind and steering the rudder of the Qing Dynasty, after all, no one dared to openly say that they would completely break away from the Chinese civilization and become self-reliant. Once the Qing Dynasty gained a firm foothold, it was inevitable that they would "come to court from all nations". Even small Japan, which briefly rose during the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era, was once again closed off from the rest of the country due to the defeat of the "First Korean War" [Wanli Korean War] and other reasons, and although it coveted the mainland, it was far from making up its mind to continue to advance westward.

Based on the above objective historical background, Hongyi is really unwilling to choose the normal growth of milk, so as to waste the precious time of the eleventh to thirteenth years of Shunzhi! Because after these three years, history is too suffocating! There are three reasons for this:

One is that Zheng Chenggong will completely break with the Qing court. As soon as the order to ban the sea in the southeast was issued, the people lost their unique position and role in the important maritime group of the world at that time, and finally let it become a local armed group that defended the island and stood on its own and was unable to move forward.

On the other hand, the Westerner clique represented by John Tong, because Catholicism was attacked by Protestantism in the West, deliberately favored one over the other in the course of Sino-Western exchanges, and stifled the demands of "equal trade" between the Netherlands and other emerging capitalist countries and China again and again, in exchange for the closed country and self-containment of the originally receptive minority regime.

Three, the strangulation of the Southern Ming regime, so that the antagonism of the Manchu and Han people reached a new peak, so that the Kangxi Emperor had to open the "Erudite Confucianism" after the later pro-government, in order to recruit the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty, as a result, consciously let the conformist Cheng Zhu Lixue prevail, and the disadvantages of Confucianism imprisonment were also unscrupulous and prolonged, which was not painful compared to the relatively open and Chinese and Western combinations in the early years of Shunzhi.

As a result, Newborn Hongyi used his more than 30 years of mind and knowledge to mobilize his young body and speak amazingly on several key things. Although he was already very restrained, he quickly stirred up a pool of still water in history, forming a huge whirlpool. As a result, the young Emperor Shunzhi keenly discovered the correctness and intelligence of his youngest son, so he made good use of it and entrusted him with important tasks.

But in this way, Hongyi had to be in an awkward position - although he did not obviously take refuge. But many of the things that were done were what the reformers were happy to see; As a strong contender for the throne, conservatives naturally want Hongyi to be the backbone of their side. It's really a dilemma, and every step is frightening.

Especially after the Double Ninth Festival, many of the topics discussed at the Imperial Council are understood by discerning people to be a big drama in which Xiao Ye Xuanye turned the tide. Perhaps, some backbone conservatives have come to the conclusion that little Belle will become another leading figure of the reformers, or perhaps it is the beginning of the "self-assertion" that they are preparing to pull down the little guy who is indeed a "heretic" from the "altar", so that he will not be killed, but at least he must be beaten back to his original form and killed. So. In the future, whether you do it or not, you will be an emperor or not. You have to weigh the influence of conservatives carefully!

This morning, the guard Mara heard all kinds of rumors about the young master from the lame beggar Zhao Shixiang, and hurriedly came back to tell Hongyi. To sum up, there are three of all the rumors that are most unfavorable to the little guy -

One is that the emperor reprimanded Xiao Xuanye in person during the pre-imperial meeting, and the emperor could be described as obedient to him before. This shows that a rift has begun to appear between their father and son. Who is the future prince. Now it seems that it is really hard to say!

Another popular remark is more vicious! said that Xiao Xuanye was born with the so-called "holding the crown". Originally, there was joy inside and outside the high walls, and the whole country, but now it seems that the little guy began to interfere in the government before he was three years old. The so-called unprecedented "one lord and four positions" may be a harbinger of catastrophe! Because since ancient times, it has never been heard of a three- or four-year-old child being so created, and it is not known whether it is a blessing or a curse. Maybe the copper tripod he was holding when he was born that day was deliberately done by some good person!

After this paragraph, there is something even more vicious - the emperor is in his prime, and he has such an unusual number of sons, wouldn't he want to compromise the emperor's longevity? This one goes straight to the purpose of "taking your life"!

So, after thinking about it again, Hongyi decided to take the initiative! This is the purpose of coming to the Imperial Servants' Bureau, summoning Du Duhu and Alba Niulu. Now, Ivan has finally asked a question that seems to have nothing to do with today's rumors, but it's just right!

This is not to say that Ivan got any hints beforehand, he was completely inspired and natural personal behavior - a few days ago, it was also in this imperial servant bureau, Ivan himself admitted his kinship with Khmelnitsky, so Xiao Xuanye knew that this was not strange. But the grievances between the Ukrainian Cossacks and the Polish aristocracy and Tsarist Russia have never been talked about in detail, but the master seems to know it! What a man of God!

"How did I get to know the Cossack Hetmanate? Hehe, what do you think? How do I know the Tao? Could it be that I'm a demon? Or is it the son of a witch who was burned by the kingdoms of Tessie? ”

Hongyi smiled, but said a cruel word that was heart-wrenching!

"A limerick poem. Hidden Head

Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath

I was saying that there was an opportunity back then

The layout is a long-cherished wish

It's hard to come and go

Get up and spend a hundred years

Point out the suffering and diseases of the world

The edge of the town was razed to the sea

Wen'an Wuding tears of joy

[1] The Hundred Years' War (Hundred YearsWar) refers to the war between England and France, and later Burgundy, between 1337 and 1453, which was the longest war in the world, fought intermittently for 116 years, and many new tactics and weapons were developed during the Hundred Years' War. The victory in the war enabled France to complete its national unification and lay the foundation for future expansion on the European continent; England lost almost all of its French possessions, but it also led to the rise of nationalism in England.

[2] The Eighty Years War (or Dutch Revolt) took place in 1568~1648 as a result of the Dutch Puritans' rebellion against Spanish rule. The war was also known as the Dutch War of Independence, or the Dutch War of Independence.

[3] The Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) was a large-scale international war in which all of Europe participated in the civil war of the Holy Roman Empire. The war was the product of the struggle for interests and hegemony of European countries, and the dramatization of religious disputes, which began with the revolt of the Bohemian people against the Austrian Habsburg royal rule, and ended with the defeat of the Habsburg royal family and the signing of the Peace of Westphalia. As a result of the war, about 60 percent of the population of the Germanic states, 65 percent of the population of Pomerania, and 25 percent of the population of Silesia, with nearly half of the males dead.
