Chapter 40: Guilty Edict, Royal Conquest

"Emperor..."

Fuquan and Chang Ning walked slowly to the side of Yuta and called out softly, but Kangxi didn't respond at all. He was still staring blankly at the tent roof. [] One of them is Kangxi's brother, and the other is Kangxi.

The younger brother of many princes, he is the closest person to the emperor among the princes. Fuquan is the most talented of the two. When he was young, Shunzhi once asked him about his ambition, and Fuquan replied, "I would like to be a virtuous king." In the sixth year of Kangxi, Fuquan was seventeenth.

When he was young, he joined the Council of Princes and Ministers to discuss government affairs. He was one of the princes with excellent character and talents in the clan, and won the respect and favor of Kangxi.

Chang Ning was named Prince Heshuogong in the 10th year of Kangxi. He is only 29 years old this year and is the youngest among the princes. Unlike his brother Fuquan, who is stable and stable, Chang Ning may be young because of his youthful spirit. He often prides himself on

He has the talent of a great general and can lead millions of troops. What he usually talks about most often is "Han Xin orders troops, the more the better." However, to this day, he has never led an expedition. During the San Francisco Rebellion, Chang Ning asked for help.

He went on an expedition, but was rejected by Kangxi, because he knew that this younger brother was just talking and exaggerating, but he could not really use it. He would rather this younger brother be a Prince of Taiping, and did not want him to become a talkative Zhao Kuo.

Prince An Yue Le and Prince Kang Jie, who were both admitted at the same time, both had great military exploits. Both of them participated in pacifying the San Francisco Rebellion and were leaders of the clan. Yue Le was the son of Abatai, the seventh son of Taizu Nurhaci.

, in terms of seniority, he is the grandfather of Kangxi. When he was young, he followed Prince Su Hauge to conquer Zhang Xianzhong who was entrenched in Sichuan. He fought bravely and strategically, and led his troops to kill Zhang Xianzhong, the king of the West, and was promoted to Baylor. Later.

Because of his political achievements in the Ministry of Industry and the clan government, he was promoted to Prince An. Although he is over fifty years old, his body and bones are no less than when he was young. He is very strong and strong, and he also likes to interact with his juniors on weekdays.

Together, he was an old prince who was both respected and lovable. Kangxi's purpose in taking him with him during Mulan's hunting was to use him as his commander to conquer Junggar after the Rakshasa was pacified.

Prince Kang Jie was the grandson of Prince Li Daishan, and was the same generation as Kangxi and his cousin. In the sixth year of Shunzhi, Jie ascended the throne and was granted the title of county prince. In the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, his uncle, Prince Mandahai of Xun, was prosecuted for his previous crime.

In the end, his posthumous title and stele were taken away, and he was demoted to Baylor. Mandahai's son Chang Adai was also demoted to Baylor because of his father's crime. The title of Prince Li was inherited by Jie as Prince Kang, and he was appointed as Zhengbai Qiqi.

Lord, he served as the ordered general during the San Francisco Rebellion, successfully quelled Geng Jingzhong's rebellion, and led his troops to defeat Zheng Jing's Ministry in Taiwan, with outstanding military exploits. And now that he was in his prime, he was also a clan that Kangxi could use as a commander.

After Yue Le and Jie entered the tent, they were a little worried when they saw Kangxi lying there with his head in a daze. Yue Le was anxious and asked Concubine Yi softly: "Who is the emperor?"

Concubine Yi did not speak, but shook her head gently. Seeing this, Yue Le nodded and no longer asked Concubine Yi. Instead, she walked to Fuquan and signaled him to wake up the emperor.

When Fuquan was about to call Kangxi, he saw Kangxi suddenly jump up and shouted: "Zhuan Gao Shiqi, Zhang Ying."

"My slaves Gao Shiqi and Zhang Ying come to see my emperor! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

After Gao Shiqi and Zhang Ying entered the tent, they knelt down and saluted. They were all eager to look after the emperor. The emperor's appearance when he lost his composure scared them all. It was even more frightening than the tiger they saw today.

Kangxi didn't even look at either of them, and only hurriedly ordered: "Brush and ink, draft the decree."

Drafting a decree? Gao Shiqi and Zhang Ying were startled: "I wonder what the emperor wants to draft?"

Kangxi's expression changed, and he said with some seriousness: "I want to punish myself."

"Edict to sin?!"

Everyone in the account was shocked. This sin edict has been used in all dynasties. It is a kind of oral edict or order for the emperor to reflect on himself or review his own mistakes when there are problems in the court, the country suffers natural disasters, and the political power is in danger. But it is usually in three types.

Circumstances arise: first, the monarch and his ministers are misplaced, second, disaster caused by natural disasters, and third, when the regime is in crisis. The intentions are all to blame oneself, but the severity of the circumstances is different. Now, although the Northern Expedition army is gone, and Wu Sangui's old troops are rebelling outside the pass, but

In any case, it is not enough for the emperor to issue an edict to blame himself. Even when Wu Sangui rebelled, the emperor never issued an edict to sin against himself. Why should he issue an edict to blame himself for this defeat today? This is a bit unfair.

They were divided, so Gao Shiqi and Zhang Ying advised without hesitation: "Victory and defeat are common occurrences for military strategists. The emperor only needs to send more good generals to lead the elite out of the border. He must be guilty of his own edict. This is not appropriate for the system."

"

Xi ignored the dissuasion of the two bachelors, glanced at everyone, and said loudly:

"I assume the position of Chong Ling to inherit the great power, and intend to renew the world and restore the old traditions of our ancestors. Unexpectedly, I relied on non-human beings, which led to the rise of bandits. The Rakshasa Kingdom is a small barbarian. If it is managed well,

How dare you invade our land and kill our officers and soldiers? The world is in full prosperity and there are many people in the military, but they are used by inhumane people and their actual achievements are rarely seen, so that our army is completely wiped out. The country's funds are scarce but the recruitment is endless, and the Lu Yan is withered and sent more troops.

It's hard to stop. I think about it at night, and I feel guilty and angry. In the first month of this year, I went back to Emperor Qian's mausoleum. My ancestors threatened the people, and I am the one to blame. So I set up my troops and paid them, limited their responsibilities, and waited for the trial to annihilate the canal. I will comfort you.

.Unexpectedly, the ministers miscalculated, and the rout was rampant again. Even the army was humiliated by the clown, and the soldiers and the people dared. The place was ravaged again, and the lives were in trouble. It was heartbreaking and gnashing of teeth. How could it be so embarrassing! If we don’t carry out a large-scale extermination, how long will it take for Yu Nei to survive?

rest!"

Gao Shiqi and He Ying were helpless and had no choice but to quickly implement Kangxi's decree into an imperial edict. Although Fuquan and Chang Ning didn't know why Kangxi wanted to issue a criminal edict, they all felt the same pain as the land of their ancestors had been devastated by military disasters, and they felt a little heavy.

"But in the martial arts, the soldiers were host and guest, toiled, hungry and cold, and I deeply miss him. I miss him sleeping in the open air, but I can't bear to sleep in the deep palace; I miss him eating ice and eating coarse food, but I can't bear to enjoy the delicacies alone; I miss him wearing a strong suit and taking risks, but I can't bear it.

I only wear embroidered clothes. I have chosen to cut down on the meal and withdraw from the entertainment. Except for the ceremony, I will wear green clothes to carry out the work, to show that I share the joys and sorrows of the warriors in our line until the day when the invaders are defeated. The military attachés also inspect the past and encourage the future.

The Governor-General and the Prime Minister went to work to save people's lives. We made secret arrangements, encircled and launched a large-scale attack, and went straight to the strong points to annihilate the powerful invaders.

I have been guarding Hongxu for sixteen years. I deeply remember the power of the emperor's surrender and the great trust entrusted by our ancestors... I am the parents of the people, and I can't protect them. The people are my innocent children, and they can't take care of them. This is the place where our ancestors are prosperous.

It is my fault that the people of Guizhou and Li suffered from the calamity caused by swords and soldiers. The crime was not mine, so who should be held responsible? Therefore, it is my fault that the people suffered disasters, were thrown into water and fire, and their bodies were piled up in hills."

After pronouncing his guilty edict in one breath, Kangxi shouted loudly: "Chen Shuangxi."

"The slave is here!"

"print!"

"Slave obeys the order!"

Chen Shuangxi hurriedly took out Kangxi's jade seal and used the seal on the "Edict of Sin" drafted by Gao and Zhang.

After drying, Zhang Ying presented the imperial edict to Kangxi for reading. Kangxi read it over again. After seeing the problem, he ordered him: "Immediately issue it to the whole country, so that the subjects know my heartache."

"twitter!"

Zhang Ying responded and withdrew with Gao Shiqi to deal with the issuance of the imperial edict. After they went down, Kangxi waved his hand to Chen Shuangxi: "Give some of the princes seats."

Chen Shuangxi hurriedly called two young eunuchs to bring four brocade stools to the tent, and invited Prince Yu and Prince Gong to sit down.

"Concubine Yi, please go down too." Kangxi waved his hand to signal Concubine Yi to leave.

"Yes, Emperor."

After Concubine Yi withdrew, Chen Shuangxi also withdrew from the tent, leaving only Kangxi and the four princes.

After everyone had retreated, Kangxi immediately walked up to his brother Fu Feng and said in a deep voice: "Since the Northern Expedition army is gone, Wu Sangui's old tribe has rebelled again. I think these traitors must be colluding with Rakshasa, and their plans are not small, so I

I decided to go on a personal expedition and wipe out these little thieves in one fell swoop, so as to wash away the shame of my northern expedition and protect the foundation of my ancestors!"
