After everyone's efforts, mainly because Kangxi did not want to kill Chen Pengnian, Chen Pengnian was dismissed from his post, and Kangxi immediately ordered him to be transferred to Wuying Hall to repair books.
Co-author Wuying Hall will become a gathering place for "people who have committed crimes and made meritorious services", Yin Ti said with emotion.
In the spring breeze of Jiangning City, Yinti was strolling around the streets with a few children, mainly visiting the famous scenic spots, streets, and ruins in Jiangning City, so that they could have a look at the style of the old capital of the Six Dynasties.
"Isn't it said that all the women in Jiangnan are kept in boudoir and do not come out to meet people?" Su Rige, wearing a robe that is convenient for riding, followed Amma and curiously asked various questions, like a hundred thousand whys.
It must be said again that there was no big difference between the men's and women's attire of the banner men at this time. Even the court clothes were all composed of robes and jackets, and their daily wear did not become as complicated and gorgeous as it would be in the future.
Prince Zhi pointed to their clothes, "Because they are not the so-called rich family. Between being messy and paying attention to pomp and circumstance and living a down-to-earth life, it is right to choose the latter."
"There are not only women here who run stores and do housework, but also women who work in weaving fields. They are all trying to make a living, and who cares so much about it?" Yinti told Su Rige and Hong Han, "You Mafa mentioned it before.
At the end of the dynasty, he said that we should be happy in the boundless heaven and earth, and never imitate the Han people to be smart and shut up in a narrow room."
"Amma is telling you this. The purpose of bringing you out this time is also for this purpose, to show you how big the world is and that there are all kinds of people and things. Remember, never trap yourself and put your own
The most stupid thing is to have your mind in a prison."
"You are not those common people. What they have to worry about every day is having enough to eat. They have no choice, but you do."
Teaching his children also makes Yinti feel relieved. Even though the children have few choices now, in the future, he will give them space and time to find their own way in this world.
"Amma, why does Mafa say that and ask us to read Chinese books? We must read them carefully."
The four father and son had already arrived at the foot of Purple Mountain, and Hong Han asked, "Moreover, does my son think that practicing riding and shooting and learning Manchu and Mongolian can really maintain the old customs outside the customs?"
Children's thinking is guided by adults. Yinti guides the children to think deeply in a certain direction, and they will naturally put forward their own opinions. But before explaining this issue, Prince Zhi told his children very seriously, "Ten million
Remember that some issues discussed at home should not be discussed with others."
"Books are for people to read, but the results they can get out of it also depend on the fate of each person. What you Mafa is talking about is the last years of the previous dynasty. When you are older, you can look at the archives of that society when you have the opportunity. I will definitely
It’s a different flavor. As for keeping the old customs, that’s difficult.”
Prince Zhi’s answer was straightforward. He didn’t say much to instill too much information into the children. He just told Hong Han, “Think about it, what are the Eight Banners? Whether they are the Han people, the banner people, the border areas and this prosperous land of plenty, they
Are their interests consistent? There is a Lumi family in this world, and a poor and humble family, are their interests the same?"
"So in the end, what are those so-called old customs? Where did the old customs come from? If they didn't exist in the past, why do we have to establish something as old customs? You might as well remember this question and read more in the future.
Think about it.”
The Eight Banners is a nation, or a military and political group with combined interests. Whose interests are more important? If they are all the same, why do the Eight Banners outside Guanwai have opinions on the Beijing Banner?
What is the reason for the conflict between the north and the south that has lasted for several generations among the Han people, and what are its consequences? Is the nation a monolithic thing? Can an emperor trust any bannerman at will? As an ordinary bannerman, can an ordinary bannerman trust any bannerman at will?
Neighbor?
These are all questions that need to be thought through clearly. Even if you don’t understand them at the moment, as long as you think about them, you will always have an impression in your mind, which will come in handy at critical moments.
At this time of year, the capital was still preparing for sowing, and the land had been planted in the south. Yinzhi took the children from Zhizao Mansion to Zijin Mountain, and from Zijin Mountain to Xuanwu Lake.
"Is there no taboo here?" The children are really full of the sensitivity that their identity deserves.
Yinti told them, "When the emperor ascended the throne, he only had to read the order in taboo, without writing, and did not change the commonly used place names. For example, the first sentence of the Thousand-Character Classic was mostly written as Tiandi Yuanhuang in the world, but in the Song Dynasty, it was tabooed for the distant ancestor Zhao Xuanlang
, this dynasty is avoiding today."
There is actually nothing interesting to see by Xuanwu Lake. The emperor is here in Jiangning. To put it bluntly, the literati and poets are looking at Kangxi like a monkey. Who comes here? Look at how good the emperor is. What if the emperor is studying in Jiangning Mansion?
, or some other occasion where your talent and learning are appreciated, and you will rise to great heights.
Talking about his meteoric rise, after Prince Zhi returned to the palace with his children, he heard that Kangxi had originally issued an edict to call Gao Shiqi, but Gao Shiqi became seriously ill and could not recover.
"I heard that he was sick and couldn't get up. The imperial physician sent by the emperor went over to take a look. He came back and said that the legacy has been written." Cheng De and Cao Yin were chatting in the garden of Zhizao Mansion. "The emperor has asked the bachelor who is accompanying him to prepare a posthumous name.
."
Cao Yin's head was still wrapped in gauze, but he could see a little white edge with his hat. He smiled and sighed, "Gao Dan has not lost anything in his life. He has been really shrewd all his life, and even picked a good time to die."
"
"Huh?" Cheng De looked at Cao Yin in surprise, how could he say this so easily.
Cao Yin knew he had made a mistake, but the other person was his close friend, so he just waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to say anything. Cheng De misunderstood, "Is there something wrong with the weaving job? Or is it someone who is causing trouble for you? Eh.
, you speak, the emperor is here, if you have anything to say, please say it quickly, don’t be angry yourself."
Chengde was worried that any of the accompanying princes or important officials in the capital would turn their backs and come to harass Cao Yin. Although he knew that his friend was very smart, he was still worried that he was getting older and had more worries.
Cao Yin sighed, "You think too much. Who would be so blind? It's okay." If it were other things, he would definitely talk to Rongruo, but this couldn't happen. For the sake of his friends and himself, he kept it in his stomach and raised it.
Can't even mention it.
The night before yesterday, Kangxi called Cao Yin to the Longtan Palace. He first praised the situation and said that the palace was well decorated, and then talked in private. At that time, the emperor seemed very worried, and his face was gloomy under the light.
"Last year, I asked you to come to Beijing. Actually, I wanted to tell you, but at that time..." Kangxi sighed, "I thought it wouldn't be the case, but looking back today, it turns out that I was too hesitant."
"I want to depose the prince."
Cao Yin stood there blankly. He said that last winter in the palace, the emperor was hesitant and seemed to have unfinished words. That's it. Cao Yin didn't care which son the emperor wanted to depose. He just followed Kangxi's instructions.
With his thoughts in mind, he immediately responded to the emperor's expectant gaze.
"I thought," Cao Yin paused for a moment, "I think... you don't plan to discuss this matter in the long term?"
"I have been thinking about it for two years." Kangxi expressed his true feelings in a rare moment, "I have been thinking about it since the time in Chengde. But the relationship between father and son for many years, and the situation in the court... I am not willing to go to this point."
"Then the emperor is now," there was no one around but the two of them, so Cao Yin said directly, "Your Majesty, the East Palace was established in infancy and raised by you. It has only been thirty years. If you want to abolish
It’s not difficult to store it, but the implications may be very wide.”
The change and dethronement of the crown prince is often accompanied by violent turmoil in the court, and at least some people will be washed out in the "shuffle". What's more, there is an extremely important issue. Cao Yin did not directly say that there must be someone to depose the crown prince.
From the beginning.
I think you are not suitable to be the prince - this reason obviously cannot be brought to the table. The prince must have a crime. Looking at the history books, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty deposed Liu Rong because of his mother's inappropriate behavior, and the prince's
His biological mother, Queen Renxiao, had long since passed away;
As for the deposed princes of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian behaved erratically, and more importantly, he was suspected of treason. Because Li Zhong was not a legitimate son, he naturally had to give way to Li Hong, a legitimate son. However, the prince of this dynasty came from the middle palace, and although his character... but
Nor is he so eccentric that he wears his hair disheveled and pretends to be a ghost;
Then there is the Song Dynasty. The king of Chu, Zhao Yuanzuo, who was actually a prince, went crazy and burned down the palace, but the prince Yinreng was not crazy... Is there no reason to waste energy? Cao Yin sighed, raised his head and met the emperor's eyes, both of them looked serious.
, all thought of this issue.
Although strictly speaking, if Kangxi issued an edict, the prince would be deposed. However, as a person who wanted to lose face, Kangxi hoped that the deposed prince would have a legitimate name. After he could not be deposed, many people felt that the prince was unjust. This would be unfair to Kangxi.
Future successors are an unstable factor.
"...Next year you will send your daughter to Beijing to be married, and I will issue an order when you return to Beijing." Kangxi sighed, and then brought up Cao Yin's daughter's marriage. "Nersu has a good character, and the population in the mansion is also simple." He began to ramble.
Speaking of what has already been said.
Cao Yin knew that the other party didn't know what to do, but he couldn't interfere in this matter. He just hoped that the emperor could come up with a proper solution, the prince... who knew that this day would happen. Or abolish it.
After the crown prince, the emperor has passed the age of knowing his destiny, so someone must succeed him, right?
While walking with Chengde at this moment, Cao Yin jumped out of the perspective of "this is my old friend" and discovered Chengde's other identity as "his cousin, the eldest son of the emperor, Prince Zhijun."
If the prince falls, theoretically Prince Zhi is the most likely next successor. With the so-called establishment of a direct descendant, will anyone jump out to cause trouble? If the court can quickly settle down after the prince is deposed, it will also
It's a good thing.
Just when Cao Yin hoped that everything would be smooth and settled smoothly, Babeile Yinhu ran into his eldest brother at the Longtan Palace. Based on the idea that it is better to choose a day than to hit it, Yinhu smiled and saluted King Zhi, and then the brothers
The two took a leisurely walk in the palace.
Yinti could tell that Lao Ba had something to say. Sure enough, after walking half a circle around the palace, Ba Beile spoke up.
