lied to Kangxi

Chapter 59 What is the Holy Monarch?

Yuzhu's life is simple and fulfilling. Apart from eating and sleeping, and practicing riding and shooting with Bai Xing, he is reading and practicing calligraphy every day.

At five watch, Yuzhu got up, and after Lin Yaner helped him change and wash, breakfast was ready.

Keep it simple when you're away from home.Outside of Jiuhua Academy, it is naturally impossible to go to the wide variety of Cantonese-style morning tea.

On the dining table, there are several dishes of pickled vegetables, some stir-fries, and a large bowl of egg and shredded pork noodles.

Yu Zhu sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and ate a large bowl of steaming noodles with great pleasure.

After breakfast, Yuzhu sat for another quarter of an hour, got up and went out, walking towards the academy.

Wu Jiang carried a cotton bag with double shoulder straps specially made by Yuzhu, which contained commonly used imperial examination books.Wu Sheng held a glove box containing tea cups and teapots in his left hand, and a three-layer snack box in his right hand, and followed behind Yuzhu cautiously.

The three masters and servants walked quickly to the main entrance of the academy against the remnant stars in the sky.

From the residence to the main entrance of the academy, about two miles away, Yuzhu just regarded it as an early exercise.

By the time Yuzhu arrived at the gate of Class A, the sound of reading could be heard in the classroom

Yuzhu walked in and saw that Class A's classroom was almost full.

Good guy, in order to gain fame, become an official and make a fortune, and honor your ancestors, these scholars really worked hard.

In the classroom, some people closed their eyes and rested their minds, some read aloud with a scroll, and some practiced calligraphy silently with a pen in hand.

Everyone was busy, and no one noticed the arrival of Yu Zhu, a new classmate.

Maybe someone found the strange jade pillar, but no one stepped forward and asked him, who are you?
Well, this is actually quite good, everyone is rushing to the Jinshi, so why waste time?
If there is a destiny, they will meet each other. If there is no destiny, they will just make fun of each other and perfunctory.

After all, Yu Zhu is the soul of an adult, and he is used to the fickleness of the world and the warmth of human relationships, so his view on making friends has already matured to the extreme.

Class A's homework is very tight.At four o'clock, Mr. Cha came to the classroom on time and began to explain the scriptures.

After listening carefully for two hours, Yuzhu came to a preliminary conclusion, and the trip was worthwhile.

Mr. Cha's explanations of the scriptures and meanings often have appropriate and appropriate interpretations, which makes people have to admire his knowledge.

It's no wonder that Jiuhua Academy, which has a large number of talents, will invite Zha Siting to teach the Jinshi seeds of Class A.

A class lasts for two hours, with no breaks in between.Students who are really anxious can go to the toilet quietly while Mr. Cha is turning his back, which is a more humane arrangement.

When Yuzhu was studying at home, he was alone.He could not only endure loneliness, but also completely sit still.

Not to mention two hours, even if it was three hours, he could still sit on the chair without moving a muscle.

After school ended at noon, Yuzhu didn't get up and go out immediately, but took a pen in his hand, and recorded Mr. Cha's ingenious conclusions one by one according to his memory.

"Yo ho, are you serious? It's just that your handwriting is very ordinary."

Just as Yu Zhu was working hard, a mocking voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

Yuzhu looked up, but saw a dark-faced scholar, wearing a blue coarse cloth jacket that was washed white, standing beside him.

Since the black-faced scholar is a classmate of the academy, no matter what Yuzhu thinks in his heart, he can't offend him on the surface.

Yuzhu put down the writing brush in his hand, stood up and bowed his hands, and said politely: "Tong Yuzhu in Xiashuntian Mansion, may I ask your brother Tai Gao's name?"

"Shuntian Mansion? Tong Yuzhu? Are you from the Banner of the Han Army?" The black-faced scholar frowned, not only did not answer Yuzhu's question, but instead pressed him about his background rudely.

There is no way, these days, Han people surnamed Tong are very rare in the Jiangnan area, and it is impossible not to attract attention.

The Tong surname in Shuntianfu is actually mostly the main branch or branch of the Tong Jia family.Yuzhu deliberately omitted the word "jia", but unexpectedly, the black-faced scholar saw through it at a glance.

Family background, after all, cannot be concealed from others, and paper cannot contain fire.

Yuzhu was going to do something earth-shattering, so the so-called Manchurian identity was not only harmless, but it also provided him with a strong camouflage.

The world is in the handle of the knife!

When Nine Dragons seized the throne, the great scholars, ministers, ministers, and ministers of the South Study Room seemed to have great power, but they were actually useless.

The person who really decides the world with one word is actually Longkodo who holds the military power.And Longkodo is Yuzhu's biological father, so there is a lot of room for maneuver.

Kangxi in his later years was actually extremely extravagant and licentious.He overhauled the palace, revived melon and vine copying, went to Rehe every year to escape the summer heat, toured the south of the Yangtze River six times, toured Mount Tai in the east and Mount Wutai in the west several times, and played all of them. He emptied the entire Qing treasury.

By the time of Kangxi's death, the national inventory of silver was less than 500 million taels.

If it hadn't been for Yongzheng's accession to the throne, the extremely violent promotion of reforms such as sharing the income of the people into the mu, raising honesty and silver, and gentry paying food and errands together, the Qing Dynasty would probably perish.

Not to mention anything else, the war between the Qing Dynasty and the Junggar Khanate alone lasted for nearly a century.Let me ask, if you don't share the income, where will you get the money and grain to fight the war?
Many people don't know how powerful the Junggar Khanate is, and think it's just a little country.

In fact, when the Qing Dynasty was at its most dangerous, the horseshoe of Junggar Khan Galdan was less than 150 miles away from Sijiu City.

At that time, the whole capital was shaken and panicked.The fleeing crowd squeezed and pushed each other, and hundreds of people were trampled to death.

Among the three major achievements of Yongzheng, the gentry paid their food and errands as a whole, because it too damaged the interests of the Manchu nobles and the Han bureaucrats, it was only implemented for 13 years.

As soon as Qianlong came to the throne, he abolished the gentry's one-to-one payment of food and errands, invited the hearts of the entire ruling class, and consolidated the unstable throne.

However, it was a great success to distribute the goods into the mu, allowing the Qing Dynasty to have sufficient food and military pay to start a continuous and desperate struggle with the Junggar Khanate.

In fact, Kangxi's vigilance against the Han people was ridiculously high.

If you are not a bannerman, you have no chance to touch the handle of a knife near the capital!

Today's Yuzhu can only get the military power in the capital smoothly by using his identity as a bannerman as a cover to deceive Kangxi into trusting him.
