lied to Kangxi

Chapter 282 Kangxi's Suspicion

What most people don't know is that when Kangxi came to Lao San's place, the first thing he did was not to recite poems and eulogy, but to compete in riding and shooting.

In the TV series, the third child is portrayed as a weak scholar, which does not conform to historical facts.

I saw that the third child was riding a bay red horse, holding a recurve bow inlaid with agates and rubies in his hand.

Yu Zhu was particularly impressed with the bow in the third child's hand.Because, Hong Sheng had bragged with him in private that this bow was actually the imperial bow used by Kangxi.

Hongsheng has a bad habit. When carrying Kangxi on his back, he has to brag about the treasures that Khan Mafa bestowed on his father.

Among the imperial guards with knives present, including Yuzhu, which one was not from a relative's family under the flag?
Cough, who couldn't tell what Hongsheng meant by showing off like this on purpose?

It's just that the matter is so important that no one will take the initiative to pierce Hong Sheng's little thoughts.

Among the many emperor's grandsons, Kangxi's favorite must be Hongxi, the eldest son of the abolished prince.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yinreng and Hongxi, the father and son, were raised by Kangxi.

After all, Kangxi was old, so he walked to the horse with his bow in hand.

At this time, I saw a strong young eunuch kneeling on all fours in front of the horse's belly.

Kangxi raised his leg, stepped on the eunuch's back, and smoothly climbed onto the saddle.

Few of the nobles under his banner, including Yuzhu, don't like horses.

Kangxi's royal horses numbered in the hundreds, almost all of which were fine horses brought as tribute by Mongolian nobles.

After the father and two get together, it is still the old rule that the third child will play first, and Kangxi will follow.

The third child slammed the horse's belly, and the horse began to speed up, then drew the bow and set the arrow, but without seeing how to aim, the arrow had already left the string.

"Whoosh."

"Duo." The arrow hit the bull's-eye and won the applause of the whole house.

Yuzhu's riding and shooting skills can be described as extremely common.

His ability can only be that the rifle will not miss the target, and only hit the bull's-eye occasionally.

As for Yuzhu's riding and archery skills, it is not worth mentioning.If you don't miss the target, you're lucky.

Objectively speaking, riding and archery is easy to learn but difficult to master. It is not generally difficult, but very difficult, very difficult.

Yuzhu has practiced riding and shooting hard for several years, and he is only at this level.

On the prairie, even teenagers are good at riding and shooting.

Forced by the pressure of survival, the prairie people who can't ride a horse and draw a bow to shoot, even if they don't starve to death, will be brutally hacked to death by the enemy in the tribal annexation battle.

Objectively speaking, since mastering the advanced metallurgical technology, the grassland nation has three strategic advantages over the Central Plains dynasty, namely riding, archery and iron armor.

Of course, after the appearance of the machine gun, the once invincible grassland warriors had to hang their proud heads and study hard to sing and dance.

Relying on the right stab tactics of the long spear array, the Qing soldiers were frightened. This is actually a novelist's flirtatious words.

From the perspective of historical facts, after Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong arbitrarily, King Sanshun surrendered to the Qing Dynasty one after another, allowing the Qing Dynasty to master advanced firearm technology, which was the strategic watershed for the rise of the Qing Dynasty and the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Battle of Shihe in Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui saw his defeat, and Dorgon immediately sent King Sanshun to the battle.

As a result, King Sanshun joined forces to attack and easily defeated Li Chuang's main force without much effort.

Taqing's easy victory relied on excellent artillery and bird guns.

It's just that the literati and scholars in the late Ming Dynasty deliberately refused to admit that the firearms of the Qing Dynasty were more powerful.

However, Kangxi's defeat of Galdan of the Junggar Khanate relied on two things: the green battalion soldiers who were still able to fight, and the artillery with a longer range.

The general trend of the world, the downfall of Shunchang, the era of advanced firearms, has completely arrived!
However, because of the self-interest of the Manchurian Banners, Kangxi wanted to use ignorance to rule the Central Plains forever, and deliberately restricted the development of firearm technology, which caused the Qing Dynasty to completely fall behind the times and eventually died.

After some riding and archery competitions, the third child actually hit the bull's-eye out of ten shots, while Kangxi only hit seven out of ten shots. The old emperor was defeated again.

Yuzhu had seen a similar scene before, so he was not surprised.

The third child knew Kangxi's temperament very well. If he didn't show his excellent riding and shooting skills, he wouldn't be able to attract Kangxi's frequent visits.

"Am I amazing?" Just as Yu Zhu was staring at the scene, Hong Sheng came to his side, proudly boasting about the bravery of the third child.

"Master Sanbeile is the real No. [-] Batulu in the Qing Dynasty." Yuzhu poured flattery words that don't cost money into Hongsheng's ears.

Hong Sheng said cheerfully: "Yuzhu, I see you're not coming out, you're quite discerning. Turn around, I'll reward you a lot, young master."

"Where, where, no matter how incompetent the humble job is, there is still such a little vision." Yuzhu almost burst out laughing.

What kind of onion is Hongsheng, and what qualifications does he have to reward the jade pillar?

Sai Le, who was standing upright beside him, secretly shook his head and sighed, Hong Sheng was not pretending to be stupid, but really stupid.

Not to mention that Yuzhu's relative, Ama, is the admiral of the Nine Gates, Long Keduo, the foreman of the imperial court alone is worthy of the respect of the entire third family.

The person who is qualified to reward the jade pillar can only be Jinshang!

Wei Zhu knew better than anyone that Kangxi had never looked directly at Hongsheng.

It's really strange that the third child, who has always been low-key and shrewd, should have such a cute and stupid son as Hong Sheng.

Yuzhu's guards kept their mouths tightly shut, but the same thought flashed through their minds in unison: bad shoots come out of good ones.

The third child, that is notorious for being both civil and military.Not only can he pull the three stone bows, but he also has the ability to edit and usurp "The Collection of Ancient and Modern Books".

How powerful is this?

"The Collection of Ancient and Modern Books" has been edited for 28 years, and it is divided into 6 series and 32 dictionaries. It is the largest and most abundant class book in existence.

There is no way, father and son!
Yuzhu is too lazy to be as knowledgeable as Hongsheng, and he doesn't need to make a move at all. Hongsheng is a big tease who cheated his own father.

After competing in riding and archery, Lao San called his disciples, such as Chen Menglei, Yang Wenyan, Zhou Changyan, etc., together to accompany Kangxi in reciting poems, writing lyrics, and talking about the law and calendar.

As long as Yu Zhu sees the white-haired Chen Menglei, he can't help but think of Li Guangdi, his teacher in the township examination.

Li Guangdi is indeed an old fox in the officialdom, but his character is very poor, and he is not worthy of close friendship at all.

Unlike Chen Menglei's abnormal haggardness, Li Guangdi was well maintained, not only in good spirits, but also with few gray hairs.

Previously, Yu Zhu knew about Chen Menglei, but he was not familiar with Yang Wenyan.

After meeting Yang Wenyan in the third mansion, Yuzhu suddenly realized.It turned out that this old man Yang was also attached to Geng Jingzhong, and was captured by the Qing soldiers together with Chen Menglei.

However, Yang Wenyan is a typical Jiangnan person, able to bend and stretch.Not only did he not offend Li Guangdi, but he took the initiative to compile a book for Li Guangdi, namely "The Essentials of Lixiang".

Kangxi was very excited and wrote several poems on the spot.

Yu Zhu clearly knew that the quality of imperial poems was poor, so he had to brag about Kangxi's poems without conscience, they were really exquisite!

On the way back to the palace, Kangxi asked Yuzhu: "What do you think of the third child?"

Hehe, on the occasion of the election of the new crown prince, Kangxi asked the third son how, isn't this intentionally digging a hole for Yuzhu?

"The emperor's family affairs, how dare the ministers speak nonsense?" Yuzhu still used the old routine, responding to all changes with the same, and killing him did not interfere with the emperor's family affairs.

"Just now, the youngest asked Hongsheng to be his son, but I did not agree." The older Kangxi got, the more jumpy his speech became.

Fortunately, Yuzhu had already adapted to Kangxi's speaking style, so he just smiled foolishly, but kept his mouth tightly shut, refusing to say a word.

Around the emperor, the near ministers who like to talk and talk almost never end well.

Kangxi understood Yuzhu's temper very well, this kid's mouth was extremely strict, it could be said that it was airtight, even a knife could not pry his lips open.

It is also very strange to say that the more Yuzhu doesn't like to talk too much, Kangxi still likes to chatter with him about some housework.

The longer she spends with Kangxi, the more Yuzhu understands Kangxi's loneliness and depression.

As the saying goes well, the shore of the land is the king's minister.

Behind the supreme imperial power, there is a truth hidden: the heights are extremely cold!
In his later years, Kangxi had to be on guard against his sons all the time, playing the old trick of the Xuanwumen Incident, and he was extremely nervous mentally.

During the period when Yuzhu was in the palace, under close observation, Kangxi's sleep quality was getting worse and worse.

When Yuzhu led people to patrol in the middle of the night, he often saw lights in Kangxi's bedroom.

Only the courtiers around the emperor could know that when Kangxi was sleeping, he was afraid of light and liked the dark.

"I heard that Xuanyu can walk already?" Kangxi rambled a lot, and finally asked about Yuzhu's eldest son.

Yuzhu's heart moved slightly, and he smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, the dog can only stand up occasionally, and the standing is also very unstable."

Kangxi nodded and said: "When he is a little older, send him to my side. I will raise you for a while, okay?"

Nima, Kang Mazi said that, what can Yuzhu say?

"Yo, that's great, the dog is by your side, it only needs to stay for a few months, and it's guaranteed to be reborn." Yuzhu flattered Kangxi on his lips, but he was thinking in his heart that his son was still so young, so he was missed by Kangxi So, did something big happen that he didn't know about?

After returning to the palace, Yuzhu found out that the people from the Wuwei camp and the people from the Xiaoqi camp clashed over a trivial matter.

At first, the Wuwei camp had a small number of people and suffered a bit.

However, the people from Wuwei Battalion blew the whistle for assembly.In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people gathered in Wuweiying, beating the people of Xiaoqiying until they cried and howled, looking for their teeth all over the place.

Alas, Yuzhu had calculated thousands of times, but he missed one point: the Wuwei camp paid special attention to the unity and momentum, which aroused Kangxi's suspicion.

In this way, Yuzhu's eldest son, Xuanyu, who is not yet one year old, was targeted by Kangxi.

In the future, Xuanyu is likely to be a hostage who stays with Kangxi.
