Although it is already midnight in the Forbidden City in Beijing, all the servants who are familiar with the Long Live Lord know that usually the Emperor is not resting at this time. [] There are too many things going on in the court recently, and even the Long Live Lord cannot live in peace. I heard that the early morning court meeting
At that time, some ministers almost started a fight over Nao Shizi Taiwan and made the Jinluan Palace into a mess and noisy. It was really inappropriate. I don’t know what these ministers were thinking. They had to fight for a small island every three weeks.
If you are five, then fight, you support me, I support you, but as for it, it is just a broken island, and no one lives there, so just abandon it. Don’t you feel sorry for me, we are slaves?
I feel bad!
I wonder how long the master will stay up tonight? Glancing at the south room, which was still brightly lit, the two young eunuchs on duty shook their heads in frustration, stamped their feet that were numb from the cold, and continued to curl up with their necks.
Under the eaves of the corridor. They were on duty. The Emperor was not resting, so they had to wait outside. It was freezing cold and there was no heater around. It was really fatal to stay outside like this. If they suffered a life crime, they would naturally suffer the consequences.
So he complained to the ministers in the court: If you hadn't had so many things to do, why would the Long Live Lord not rest in the middle of the night? If the Long Live Lord had rested early, would our family have suffered like this!
The South Room is diagonally opposite to the Qianqing Palace. It is the place where the emperor used it to facilitate the readers of the Luohan people to serve around him, inquire about state affairs, explore knowledge, and consult on the selection of works. The interior of the room is three couplets wide, with a throne and an imperial throne.
One side of the table. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, two rooms were set up in the inner court. The former was the room where the princes were taught by their teachers, and the latter was the south room. It was also the office of the traveling bachelors.
The cabinet signing rooms of the DPRK are somewhat similar.
At this time, there were no foreign ministers in the south room, only Emperor Kangxi was here. He, who had just passed his thirtieth year, was putting aside the memorials he had approved before. When he saw the case, there were three unapproved memorials, so he took them.
A folding book appeared. It was from the Ministry of Industry, Shang Chenxian. The things mentioned in it made Kangxi very angry and helpless.
A corner of the Hall of Supreme Harmony collapsed due to last year's earthquake. At that time, Kangxi issued an order to the Ministry of Works to repair it immediately. Chen Mian sent Xu Zhuo, the minister of the Ministry of Works, to the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask for money and prepare to start repairing the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
After knowing that Xu Zhuo had gone, he had not received the money. Qiu Jin, Shang of the Ministry of Finance, also looked down at him, saying that the Ministry of Finance was currently the treasury bank, and the Ministry of Works wanted to please the emperor, so he went to find the money on his own. Anyway, the Ministry of Finance was the treasury bank.
This made Chen Xian very angry. Why do I, the Ministry of Works, want to please the emperor? Your Ministry of Households is in charge of all the taxes in the world, how could you not have the money for repairs?! In a fit of anger, he gave up and sued Qiu.
Go into a rebellion and disobey the decree.
In fact, Qiu Jin was telling the truth. The Ministry of Revenue is really out of money. The imperial court is now going to allocate a lot of money to the southern provinces to recover the losses they suffered during the San Francisco Rebellion. It also needs to allocate money to Taiwan's surrendered soldiers and civilians to settle down.
, In addition, we have to pay the salaries of the military officers, the salaries of the Eight Banners soldiers and civilians, and the rest has to be given to the affected prefectures and counties. In this way, plus the money and food prepared for the Northern Expedition army, do you think the accounts of this household department will still be paid?
Can I have any money?!
Silver, silver, you know silver all day long, can you really not do anything without money? Kangxi threw Chen Mian's fold aside with some displeasure, and when he picked up the other one, he couldn't help but be startled, it turned out to be
Excerpts from the Imperial Master Chen Tingjing.
Chen Tingjing's original name was Chen Jing. He was born in the 11th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty. He was a native of Daozhuang, Yangcheng County, Shanxi. The Chen family passed down the family tradition through poetry, farming and reading. The family tradition was simple and the family education was very strict, so Chen Tingjing received a good education from an early age. In the 15th year of Shunzhi,
, Chen Tingjing was a Jinshi in the imperial examination. There were two Jinshis in the same subject. Chen Jing, the Shunzhi Emperor, was from Yangcheng and was changed to Chen Tingjing. Chen Tingjing became the teacher of Emperor Kangxi with his knowledge and character. After Kangxi planned to overthrow Ao Bai, he personally appointed Chen Tingjing.
The governor of Shanxi Province was partly a favor to his teacher, and partly to replace the local governor. However, no matter what Kangxi's initial intention was, he doubtless had very high favor and expectations for Chen Tingjing.
It has been three years since Chen Tingjing took office as governor of Shanxi Province. Kangxi thought about him very much on weekdays. Now that he saw the teacher's memorial, he couldn't help but be very excited. Seeing the words was like seeing a person. It really felt like seeing him again after a long absence. He hurriedly read Chen Tingjie's memorial.
After reading almost every word, after a few lines, Kangxi couldn't help but nodded slightly, as if he agreed with the teacher's method.
Chen Tingjing’s excerpt is about the issue of abandonment of Taiwan that has been debated recently between the government and the public. His method is to abandon the land and move the people, follow the example of the Southeast China Sea Ban in the early days of Shunzhi, and cede Taiwan to the Dutch barbarians, "empty the land and let the barbarians live there, and then accept
He believed that the Dutch ambition, even if Taiwan was once again owned by the Netherlands, would be harmful to the Qing Dynasty. On the contrary, it would restrain its heart and restrain its aspirations, so that it would not have the desire to peek into the southeast. This is the key to eternal peace and prosperity.
road.
After finishing the teacher's excerpt in one breath, Kangxi felt a little tired, so he closed his eyes and rested his mind. In fact, he had an opinion on whether to keep or abandon Taiwan, and his opinion was just as mentioned in the teacher's excerpt.
Dutch.
After the surrender of the Zheng family in August, the ministers of the DPRK had obvious differences on whether to abandon Taiwan. In Fujian, some officials believed that it would be beneficial to stay in Taiwan, while other officials insisted that abandoning it would be harmful. In the capital, there were some
Officials advocated abandoning the land and relocating people to Taiwan, while some officials supported the preservation of Taiwan. The ministers each held their own opinions and argued. In August, Fujian Governor Yao Qisheng once made it clear that Taiwan should not only be defended, but also must not be delayed. However, there is a risk of change later.
This excerpt did not make Kangxi completely make up his mind, because he was actually hesitant about the matter. When he came, Taiwan was indeed an island outside of China. The only people on the island except for the remnants of the Ming Dynasty were high mountain people. The people outside of the country were really
It would be of no benefit to the Qing Dynasty. If prefectures and counties were established in Taiwan, not to mention the cumbersome deployment of officials and soldiers, it would also be very inconvenient to travel across the sea, which was completely useless.
Well, we have been talking about it for such a long time, and we should make a decision. Maybe the teacher is right. He shook his head with a headache. Kangxi felt a little tired, and looked up outside the room. He knew that it was getting late, and he thought about tomorrow.
I still have an early morning meeting, so I plan to stop here today. I was about to call the eunuch on duty to wait on me, but I caught a glimpse of the cover of the last memorial with the words "I respectfully go to Taiwan to stay" in large italics, and I couldn't help but subconsciously stretched out my hand.
Get that discount.
"Prince Shaobao, General Jinghai, Marquis Jinghai, who is also in charge of the affairs of the Fujian Navy Admiral, Shi Langjin inscribed the title. In order to respectfully explain the interests and benefits of abandoning Taiwan, I pray for Rui to rule the matter: secretly take photos of Taiwan, connect Wu Hui to the north,
It borders Guangdong and Qiao in the south, stretching for thousands of miles, with steep mountains and rivers, and circuitous harbor roads. It is the left protection of the four provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong. It is isolated from Penghu by the ocean, and the waterway is more than three o'clock away. It is clear that the water mark of the season is set at Penghu.
Kinmen Station, out of the flood season, ends at Penghu, and the waterway is more than seven o'clock away. Taiwan was originally part of Huawai, a mixed-race place, and was not included in the territory..."
It's a busy time. Bones went to the countryside today to help harvest rice. He was exhausted. Please forgive me for the late and missing updates. But having said that, it's really good to do some labor. Bones feels good all over after the work.
