Seeing that the sky is about to be June, the Jingshi, who has not been raining for more than a month, is very hot, even if there are two ice basins in the upper study, the old man Kangxi feels very hot, and looks at the thick stacks of music on the table irritably. In previous years, at this time, the old man Kangxi was either in the Rehe Palace or in the Changchun Garden outside the city to escape the summer, but this year's things are very special, first the imperial examination fraud case, and then the money law fraud case, just a few days after the stop, and there was a Nagasaki incident, this court affairs are cumbersome and really annoying the old man, how can he have the idea of going to the summer, he can only stay in the palace to deal with this stall. is also thanks to the good body that the old man Kangxi boiled out of riding a horse and archery when he was young, if it was replaced by someone else, he would have been unable to resist it at the age of the old man Kangxi.

When the news of the Nagasaki incident came, the old man Kangxi was really angry, a small Japanese country had repeatedly violated Tianwei, which was unbearable. The old man Kangxi is an old emperor, attacking Taiwan, leveling the three feudatories, and sweeping Geerdan, he has experienced countless wars in his life, and he can be regarded as an emperor immediately, and he has never allowed anyone to dare to challenge the dignity of the Celestial Empire.

These days, the voice of the main battle of the government and the opposition has risen, and all the courtiers and governors of various provinces have played speeches, shouting and killing, of course, there are also some self-confident old people who ask for prudence and advocate "convincing people with virtue", but these recitals have long been thrown into the wastepaper basket by the old man Kangxi. It is certain to fight, but it is just a question of how to fight, the old man Kangxi has not led the naval battle, and the old man still knows the strategy of Shi Lang's attack on Taiwan, but after all, Taiwan is closer to the mainland, and it is not too far from the morning to the end, and the distance between Japan and the mainland is much farther, and the supply of logistics has become a big problem. The old man Kangxi compared a few folds in his hand, and already had some ideas in his heart, raised his head and looked at the minister of the study who was standing at the bottom and said: "I see that the fold of the old fourteen is also feasible, what do you think?" ”

Ma Qi, as the minister of the upper study and the envoy of the household department, naturally looked at things from the perspective of military spending, and first stood up and said: "Shengshang, according to the excerpt of the fourteenth elder brother, a total of 20 million taels of silver are needed for military salaries and grain, although this amount can be afforded by the household department, but it is also a little tighter, if it can win quickly, it will not hurt, and it can claim silver taels from the Japanese state, but in case it can't, if you want to increase the troops in the future, I am afraid that the silver required by the two households is really difficult to raise." ”

Since the beating of Xiong Cixu because of the fraud case of the imperial examination, Wang Luo went to the minister of the study and the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, this old man is upright, and he pays attention to the way of the sage, and when he heard what the claim was, he couldn't help but stand up and said: "Saint, the minister thinks that it is not impossible to send troops to teach the Japanese country a lesson, but it is just that the prestige of my heavenly kingdom is a claim for compensation, and the minister thinks it is inappropriate." ”

Ma Qi was originally a shadow student, and did not achieve the fame of the imperial examination, but he was also a person who was familiar with poetry and books, and was originally a Confucian child, but he was in charge of the household department many times over the years, and he knew the country's income very well, and he was influenced by Yinzuo, and he would not be ashamed to talk about money like those "righteous gentlemen" who were not old-fashioned, in his opinion, the Nagasaki incident caused a big loss to the Qing Dynasty, and if he won the battle, it would not be a big deal to ask the Japanese to spit out the money they ate. Besides, the Manchurians have always had the custom of taking everything from the opponent after defeating the opponent, and at this time, seeing that Wang Luo jumped out to oppose it, he was not polite, and immediately ridiculed him: "Holy Lord, the minister thinks that the words of the king are false, killing people to pay for their lives, and it is a matter of course to repay debts. ”

Although Ma Qi's words were a little vulgar, the reason was very clear, but Wang Luo was very unimpressed, and said in a loud voice: "A gentleman convinces people with virtue, and my Heavenly Kingdom naturally has the dignity of a heavenly kingdom, how can I act like a philistine." ”

Ma Qi immediately counterattacked: "The Japanese cowards, the savages who turn into outsiders, are still inferior to the villains, how can they talk about the way of the gentleman with them, and the ministers think they are ......."

Seeing that the two ministers were arguing a little red-faced, the old man Kangxi interrupted Ma Qi's words with a wave of his hand and said, "The two Aiqing seem to have forgotten the rule that no rudeness should be made in front of the king." ”

Although the old man Kangxi said this in a joking tone, the two ministers in the study were frightened, and quickly knelt down and said: "The ministers are rude, please punish the saint." ”

The old man Kangxi smiled and said: "Let's be even, you are all old ministers, I will not punish you for trivial things, but you must also be cautious." Then he paused, looked at Li Guangdi and said: "Jin Qing, you are an old minister, you have attacked Taiwan, in your opinion, is the old fourteenth excerpt feasible?" ”

Li Guangdi is known as the "tumbler of the Xi Dynasty", and he is the most senior in this group of ministers of the upper study, and his contemporaries Mingzhu and Suo Etu have already fallen one after another, but he is still free to mix in the ministers of the upper study and never fall, relying on three things: one is to be good at the holy will, and never express his position before finding out the holy will, the second is not to take too much power, and the third is to be sleek. At this time, as soon as I heard the words of the old man Kangxi, I knew that the sacred heart of the old man Kangxi had been decided, and what he did was the excerpt of the old fourteenth, so he immediately stood up and said: "The minister thinks it is feasible, and the minister's clan also has people who are engaged in trade with the Japanese country, and the minister also knows a little about the armaments of the Japanese country. ”

Old Man Kangxi nodded noncommittally, looked at Zhang Tingyu and said, "Hengchen, I want to hear your opinion." ”

Zhang Tingyu had already prepared the answer, but he did not hesitate, and replied respectfully: "Holy Lord, the minister also thought that there was a chance of winning this battle, but now that my Shandong Navy Division has just been reorganized, this combat power seems to be somewhat insufficient, and if you rush to raise troops, I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate." Prince Yi has always been familiar with the sailor, why didn't the saint call Prince Yi to ask? ”

The old man Kangxi chuckled lightly and didn't say anything, with his shrewdness, he had already seen that behind the old fourteen's fold was naturally Yinzuo's handiwork, but there was no need to summon Yinzuo to ask again. The old man changed the topic with a smile and said, "Since there is a chance of winning this battle, I am not a person who is afraid of war. Well, according to what Zhongqing sees, who should be the handsome? ”

The old man Kangxi is not easy to answer, which of the ministers of the study will not know who the three elder brothers of Yinzuo, Yinzhen, and Yinzhen are fighting for in private, everyone present is a human spirit, and no one wants to express a position on this matter, it is a matter of offending people, but the old man asked, and it really can't be answered if he doesn't answer, so the big guy bowed down and replied: "All respectfully ask for the Holy Judge, and the ministers have no objections." ”

What the ministers of the study had in their hearts were thinking about the old man Kangxi was very clear in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only smile lightly and said: "You always let my sacred heart dictatorship, is it possible that I will really be a dictatorship, this matter will be discussed again tomorrow morning, I am tired, you can kneel down." ”

Although the old man Kangxi said this with a smile, the subtext in the words was very cold, the big guys are all understanding people, how can they not hear the meaning of the words, but no one dares to talk too much about such a big thing, even Wang Liang, who has always been known for his uprightness, is also silent, at this time, when he heard that the old man asked the big guy to kneel in peace, everyone was like being amnesty, and after kneeling down and asking for peace, they retreated. The old man Kangxi silently took the old fourteen's fold and looked at it, sighed, walked out of the upper study a little absent-mindedly, and went straight to the harem......

Tomorrow will be early, Yinzuo doesn't dare to be careless, whether he can take the handsome position depends on the result of tomorrow's court meeting, Yinzuo's "Honghu" and "Dark Arrow" are very busy these days, all kinds of information continue to be transmitted back to Yinzuo's palace, the content of the old man Kangxi's deliberations in the study has been passed back early in the morning, although it is not too complete, but in general, the words of the old man and the ministers of the study have not been put down, no, Yinzuo and Wu and Lin are busy pulling away the old man's words, figuring out word by word, And analyze the dynamics of the fourth and eighth children that we know, and try to find out the coping strategies.

"Although the saint did not say anything to let the fourteenth master take command, but from the perspective of Li He, the meaning of these words seems to be quite inclined to the meaning of the fourteenth master." After Lin Xuanyi pondered for a long time, he opened his mouth first.

Inclined? Well, there is such a possibility, but the old man has always been arbitrary, and he has never been undecided, if he really has this tendency, how can he not immediately express his position? Yin Zuo shook his head and said: "This king feels that this move by the Holy Lord is a bit strange, if he really intends to let the old fourteen take command, why didn't he just announce it?" This battle is not difficult to fight, is there anything left undecided? ”

"There is a place for indecision, the fourteenth master is sixteen years old, and he has not experienced the war, and he is suddenly entrusted with a heavy task, I am afraid that the three armies will not accept it, if he comes to the court to offer advice, he can also erect the prestige of the fourteenth master." Lin Xuanyi said with a smile.

Well? This sounds reasonable, but it seems to be a little reluctant. Yin Zuo shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that it may not be, there can be many ways to do it, and there is no need to do such a means." ”

Wu Sidao was about to speak, when the maid ring outside suddenly came to report: "Master, the third master is here." ”

Third? What is the purpose of this kid's visit at this time? Yinzuo was stunned......
