lied to Kangxi

Chapter 108
Historically, the old Shisan's birth mother, Concubine Min Zhang Jiashi, had a good chance to win the throne before she passed away.

Because, during that time, no matter where Kangxi went, even if he was criticizing papers in the Qianqing Palace, he would always take Zhang Jiashi with him, which can be described as an unusual favor.

In just four years, Mrs. Zhang Jia was promoted from a palace maid under the banner of Manzhou Xianghuang to Min Concubine, but there was no formal canonization ceremony.

It is not an exaggeration to say that up to now, only the fourth elder brother's biological mother, Concubine De, has been promoted faster than Zhang Jiashi.The difference is that when Concubine De was canonized as a concubine, there was a formal canonization ceremony.

Tragically, at the age of 13, Zhang Jia, the birth mother of Lao Shisan, died and was posthumously named Concubine Min.

A child without a mother will definitely be bullied.

Concubine Min's funeral was not over a hundred days ago, the youngest Yinzhi shaved his head carelessly, and after asking the old thirteen to find out, he punched the youngest several times.

As a result, after Kangxi knew about it, he let the third child lightly, and only demoted him from the king of Chengjun to Baylor, but he punished the third child by kneeling down.

Poor old Thirteen knelt on the ice-cold bluestone slab for six full hours in the icy and snowy land.

The big problem with the old thirteen's knees is the root of the problem that fell at that time.

Later, after the thirteenth child died of exhaustion, the fourth child insisted on nitpicking and imprisoned the third child under the pretext that the third child Yinzhi lacked condolences for the death of Prince Yi Yunxiang.

The fourth son of a tough guy finally vented his anger on behalf of the thirteenth son!

After the important matter was settled, the Long family waited for the announcement of the gold list.

This time, Long Keduo was not nervous at all.After Jieyuan passed the Yuzhu Township Examination, he was already a junior four yuan. Whoever dares not to take him as a Jinshi, just wait for the serious consequences of the thunderbolt.

In the Gongyuan, the chief executive officer of the examination, Wu Yan, a bachelor of Baohedian University and Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment, is worrying.

In front of him, three test papers with the most circles were placed at the same time.It's just that Wu Yan couldn't see clearly, which one belonged to Yuzhu?

The Zhongju papers for the Shuntianfu Township Examination had been published long ago and distributed to the whole world. Naturally, Wu Fan had read them.

After carefully comparing the test papers of the top ten candidates, it is only logical that Yu Zhu was selected as Jie Yuan!

Before the test, Jinshang didn't say anything publicly, but gave Yuzhu the name of Qingqing.

Cough, how should I put it, as an important minister who has served Kangxi for decades, Wu Fan naturally understands Jinshang's thoughts.

Although Wu Cheng's status is high, he is not young, his physical strength is not good, and he is about to retire.

This Wu Cheng was born in the tenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in the second year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty. He is already a rare old man.

For an old bureaucrat like Wu Yan, he figured out what he wanted, and then catered to him silently, which was his unique secret of being the chief scholar for a long time.

It's just that if Yuzhu's test paper can't be found now, there will be big trouble.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or intentional. Although the three vice presidents are all officials at the Shangshu level, none of them is a bachelor.

In other words, in this test, Wu Cheng is the only one!

The power and status of the president killed all the vice presidents together, which had never happened before this meeting.

Seeing that the entire marking work was about to be completed, and the date of publishing the list was approaching day by day, Wu Fan was still at a loss.

"Everyone, what's your opinion on these three test papers?" Wu Yan is an old bureaucrat, and he couldn't read clearly by himself, so he asked someone to help read it together.

But, these days, who is more stupid than the other?

The three vice presidents collectively chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb. There were a lot of praises, but none of them were useful.

"Wu Xiangguo, you are a rare Confucian scholar in the world, a dignified leader of scholars, are you waiting for An Gan to fight your way?"

Tomorrow the list will be published, but Wu Fan still hasn't found Yu Zhu's paper.

There is no other way, if you don't make a decision, once you delay the time to publish the list, there will be a big storm inside and outside the court, and Wu Fan will also collapse at the end of the day.

Wu Yan simply didn't think about it so much, so he could only follow his heart, choose the one he thought was the best among the three papers, and mark it as Huiyuan.

The procurator of this examination, Xifona, the Zuodu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, used small scissors to tear off the seal of the Huiyuan examination paper under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"In the 45th year of Kangxi's Ministry of Rites Bingxu Enke Examination, No.1, Tong Jia Yuzhu, Guan: Inner City of Shuntian Prefecture, Manchuria with Yellow Banner, great-grandfather Tong Jia Tulai, ancestor Tong Jia Guowei, father Tong Jia Long Codo..."

Wu Fan let out a long breath, Yuzhu's Huiyuan is well deserved!

This time, Li Si'er prepared 3 taels of small silver ingots, or five taels each.

Last time, Hao Xuan, there were so many officials who came here that they almost gave out all their money.

The mansion of the dignified future champion can't even pay a little money, what is it like?
Ever since the official said some rhetoric about the number one scholar last time, Li Si'er has always believed in it.

Longkodo didn't dare to show his demon moths this time, and obediently entered the palace to face the saint, and reported in detail the movements of those important Manchurian officials who were secretly monitoring.

People who don't mince words mean that in addition to maintaining law and order in the capital, Longkodo is also responsible for secretly monitoring the movements of the prince and Lao Ba.

Precisely because of the tight monitoring, Longkodo recorded a lot of evil deeds of bullying the market and robbing merchants of good shops.

Long Kedo knew very well in his heart that Lao Jiu is Lao Ba's money bag and dog-headed military advisor.Old Ten is actually a useless idiot, not worth sending someone to watch at all.

The old fourteen seems to be the Eighth Master Party, but he is actually a rebellious guy with great ambitions, maybe he is secretly targeting the big one, right?
Kangxi noticed that Longkodo's report was much faster than usual, so he said coldly: "What? There are still urgent matters to be done?

In front of Kangxi, Longkodo has long been a shameless face, and he is not afraid of Kangxi pulling his face down and saying harsh words.

"Master, you asked, but this servant will tell the truth, and I will try to make a list today." Longkodo just reported an important situation about Lao Ba, which was obviously not grasped by Kangxi before. angry.

"Hmph, look at your idea and small promise? It's just a mere test, and I dare to perfunctory?" Kangxi's tone was hollow, and there was no sound of joy or anger.

Longkodo quickly knelt down, took off his top hat, and said, "Heh heh heh heh heh heh." He kowtowed three times.

"Master, this slave is like a monkey grandson, how could it be possible to jump out of the palm of the Tathagata Buddha? How many skills and tricks this slave has, aren't they all under your control, master?" Long When Kodo said these words, Kangxi couldn't hold back his smile immediately.

"Go away." Kangxi knew that Longkodo was thinking about the results of the examination, because he had just made a great contribution, and he was really doing his job honestly, so he didn't care about it.

Wei Zhu, who was standing with his back leaning against the palace pillar and bent over, looked at Longkodo's backward and backward figure, and couldn't help but feel admiration.

What a powerful Third Long, let his son Xie Yuan show his big face in Long Live Lord.

It's nothing more than showing his face, but Long Live Lord didn't realize that Long Lao San was deliberately setting this up.

Hey, even Wei Zhu can't do this kind of skill, only Liang Jiugong has it.

Because of the repeated provocations by the Raksha Kingdom at the border, Kangxi called Yin Qi, the fifth elder brother Yinqi, who was in charge of the Lifan Academy, to the Qianqing Palace.
"General Bo of Heilongjiang made a note, saying that the little Khabarov of the Raksha Kingdom is near Yaksa again, ready to move."

Kangxi was very angry, but the consequences were not serious.

There is no way, the treasury is running out of money, and there is still the sworn enemy of the Qing Dynasty in the west, the Junggar Khan Tsewang Alabutan.

Qinghai is not peaceful either.

According to the calculations of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Kangxi's latest personal conquest of the Junggar Khanate involved less than 500 troops, and it took nearly [-] million taels of silver to fight in just seven months.

To fight a war is to burn money. This statement is not false at all!
The fifth elder brother Yinqi is the elder brother of the Lifan Academy, so he naturally understands in his heart that Kangxi must have asked him to come to the Qing Palace for peace talks.

The team that invaded the border of the Raksha Kingdom was not a regular army, but a small group of Cossack mercenaries led by Khabarov Jr.At best, it's just a small team of more than [-] people, which is nothing to worry about.

Kangxi and the fifth elder brother agreed that the confidant of the Qing Dynasty was not the Raksha Kingdom, but the Junggar Khan—Cewang Allah Butan.

The main reason is that the large area of ​​Heilongjiang is vast and sparsely populated, often hundreds of miles uninhabited, full of wild primitive forests.

In the ice and snow, there were too many Qing garrisons, and the logistical supplies could not keep up.There are fewer garrisons, and they can't beat the musket cavalry of the Raksha Kingdom, so they have a headache.

The Junggar Khanate was a much greater threat to the Qing Dynasty than Goguryeo's military threat to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

However, after the Qing Dynasty and the Raksha Kingdom signed the "Nerchinsk Treaty", the cannibalization actions of the Raksha Kingdom started and stopped from time to time, making people unpredictable.

In the palace, no matter how sophisticated the strategy is, how can we fight if the treasury has no money?

In addition, the Raksha Kingdom has been at constant friction with the Junggar Khanate recently.

Going to fight against the Raksha State now, I am afraid that the Raksha State and the Junggar Khanate will stop friction and unanimously target the Qing Dynasty.

Based on this, Kangxi actually had no choice but to continue to send people to negotiate peace with the Raksha Kingdom.

At this moment, Wei Zhu bowed his waist, moved to Kangxi's side, and said in a low voice, "Go back to Lord Long Live, will you try No. 1 or Yuzhu?"

Under normal circumstances, Wei Zhu would not have the courage to interrupt Kangxi and his brothers.

No, before Kangxi came to court today, he had specifically instructed Wei Zhu.As long as the test No.1 has the result, it must be reported as soon as possible.

"My ministers congratulate Khan Ama, the heavenly descendant of Wensheng Kuixing to my Manchu nobles, this is a good omen for God to bless my Qing Dynasty. Such a prosperous Wenzhi, even Song Renzong, is far behind!" The fifth elder brother saw it Kangxi was very excited, so he quickly knelt down and poured the flattering eulogy that he had memorized in advance on Kangxi.

"Hehe, fifth brother, when did you learn to flatter me?" Kangxi looked at fifth elder brother with a half-smile.

It's a pity that Lao Wu's Chinese can't be fluent, and he can only speak Manchu when the performance is correct.Well, if it’s Chinese, it’s fine.

The old fifth's face was injured, in fact, it was to protect the aggressive Kangxi and retreat first.

This matter has now become a big taboo, and no one dares to mention it again.However, Kangxi has always been ashamed of the fifth Yinqi.

The fifth child is not a god, he could not have guessed that Yu Zhu won Huiyuan again.The whole set of speeches he prepared was prepared for when Kangxi was happy, he would take the opportunity to say something nice for Yu Zhu.

However, looking at Kangxi's reserved and happy look, what else does Fifth Prince not understand?This is really happy.

So, the fifth elder brother took back the good words that came to his lips.

At this time, to say good things for Yuzhu is tantamount to superfluous, and there is no need for that at all!
Kangxi was guarding against his adult sons all day long, and the sons were also studying Kangxi's thoughts every day.

There is also a father-son relationship in the Tian family, but that is not much family happiness without touching the imperial power!
After leaving the palace, Fifth Prince did not come directly to Yu Zhu.This is too sensitive, and a wise man would not do it.

　Seeing brothers quarreling, I feel it is necessary to get to the bottom of it:
　　1. This year is the 45th year of Kangxi, Yuzhu just turned 15 years old, Xu is 16 years old.

　　2. In the 42nd year of Kangxi, Suo'etu was given to death

　　3. More than ten years ago, when the prince and Suo'etu were arrogant, Li Si'er was snatched away by Long's third son.

　　4. The arrogance of Tong Jia's strength can be seen!
