Chapter 104
"Pay more attention to your body."

Kangxi patiently answered one by one, and the two chatted about the affairs in the palace again.

At the end, the empress dowager sighed: "If you have time, go to the imperial concubine's palace for a while. She has lost a new child, and seeing other people giving birth to two children, it is inevitable that she will feel uncomfortable."

"Okay, my son will go more."

The empress dowager finally persuaded him: "It's better to have a queen in this harem, you'd better take care of it."

Kangxi said: "There are imperial concubines, concubines Rong, and concubines Hui who are in charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces. It's almost the same whether there is a queen or not."

"How can this be the same?" The Empress Dowager said, "The Empress Dowager is a person who has been here before, and she has also been a queen, so you know what's going on here, so don't take it to heart."

Kangxi nodded and said perfunctorily, "My son knows."

Seeing that he didn't want to say this, the empress dowager didn't make things difficult for him, and said something else before Kangxi left.

When Umalu was out of confinement, Kangxi met her.

The rule in the palace is that the concubines who give birth to the emperor's heir have to sit for a full month of confinement, and their children will be sent to other concubines or other high-ranking concubines to be raised after the second month of birth.

Concubines who were in confinement were not able to see the emperor's heirs often, so their children were often sent away as soon as they were confinement, and they seldom saw each other.

Although it is to prevent the harem from intervening in politics, it can't be regarded as keeping the son and leaving the mother, which is much better than the Northern Wei Dynasty.

When Kangxi came, the Yonghe Palace had been cleaned up and filled with fragrant flowers and hay to cover up the smell.

Umalu sat on the edge of the bed.

Kangxi's statement was powerful. At the end, he said: "She is my mother-in-law. I think we can have a happy family. The child will be recorded in her name. After a long time, she will remember your kindness."

He promised her again: "Lao Liu... When he is five years old, I will let you and Concubine Hui raise him together."

When they were five or six years old, according to the rules, the princes should go to the Shang study to study.That's why Kangxi promised this time.

The sixth elder brother Yinzuo is almost four years old this year.

It's not too late.

Umalu didn't argue, and let out a breath slowly: "That's fine."

She paused: "The servant heard that the sixth child has been coughing badly, please think of a way, the servant is very anxious."

Kangxi nodded in agreement, looked at her for a while, and then sighed: "You are better now, with a little popularity, and you look like a fairy about to ascend."

Umalu smiled and said, "What did you say?"

She was going to sleep while talking.

Kangxi didn't bother her, he went out by himself, walked to the door, and asked Liuli: "What does Doctor Wang say about her health?"

"Physician Wang said that the master is a chronic disease, and his body is very weak." Liuli was silent for a moment, and then said, "He said, it is best for the master to ban sex for a few years."

Kangxi blinked and said calmly, "Oh."

Indeed, the brand of Concubine De has been withdrawn by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for quite some time.

He left silently.

Liang Jiugong pursed his lips, as if he didn't hear.

Liuli stayed where she was, and waited until she saw Kangxi exiting the gate of Yonghe Palace before entering the room, and tucked Umalu in the quilt again.

On the third day, the nine daughters of the emperor were sent to the Palace of Mercy and be raised by the Queen Mother.

The day in the middle is the time for Umalu and Huang Jiunv to say goodbye.

If the nine daughters of the emperor can live beyond the age of two, they will be given a jade plate that is recorded once every ten years, and the serial number is the fifth princess.

Otherwise, it will be like the seventh daughter born to Uma Lu and the eighth daughter born to the imperial concubine Tong Jia, without sequence.

On the day when Huang Jiunu left, Umalu let out a long sigh and didn't say anything.

In this palace, parting is the norm.

She is still alone.

Mostly, people come naked and go naked, and no one can keep anyone else.

At this time, Wei Zhu came quickly and brought a letter from Dajie, which clearly stated it.

On July [-], Shi Lang led his army to land in Taiwan.Later, under Liu Guoxuan's strong advocacy, Zheng Keshuang surrendered to Shi Lang on July [-], and shaved his hair and changed clothes on August [-]. The Zheng Dynasty officially perished.

And in the next few days, Taiwan was controlled, the number of people was counted, and the spoils of war were checked. After finishing one by one, the list was sent along with the letter.

Kangxi looked at the list and the letter, laughed and said, "Okay, okay, go and call Tong Guowei and the others."

Although he didn't finish the whole sentence, Liang Jiugong had served him for a long time, so he didn't need to ask carefully, he nodded yes, and asked Wei Zhu to call over those who usually go in and out of the imperial study.

Kangxi was waiting in the imperial study.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was coming, Liang Jiugong asked, "Your Majesty, the elder brother of Yongshou Palace is about to turn one month old, which master should he send to?"

Concubine Niu Hulu gave birth to a son at Haishi on October [-]th, and the mother and child are safe. It has been half a month now.

Liang Jiugong should ask clearly.

Kangxi thought deeply.

The imperial concubine Niu Hulu's family is huge, and only Chuxiu Palace Gege Hesheli Suzhen can suppress her, but Suzhen'er herself is still a child...

The imperial concubine... He had the intention to send her to Chengqian Palace, but after all, the Tong family's foundation was shallow, not comparable to the Niu Hulu's family, and they couldn't hold her back for a while.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are also unwilling to raise children, and the remaining concubines do not have enough family background.

He made up his mind: "Send it to Chuxiu Palace."

Liang Jiugong was slightly surprised, but he responded, "Yes."

Kangxi thought for a while, and added: "After the year, I will send them to Chuxiu Palace. At this moment, I will give them the mother-child relationship."

Liang Jiugong replied: "The slave has written it down."

Not long after, the ministers arrived at the imperial study, Liang Jiugong only served tea for Kangxi, and Wei Zhu served tea for the ministers.

Kangxi circulated the letter, and finally asked: "What do you think, dear dears?"

Tong Guowei said: "Since it has been shot down, it is enough to bring things back. There is nothing to want in a broken place, and it can't compare to the Central Plains."

Another minister said: "Under the whole world, is it possible that the king's land and the shore of the land are all kings and ministers. There is no reason to abandon the land that has been knocked down. If it is abandoned, it will be taken over by the rest of the evil, what should I do?" Is good."

The public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is right. For a while, there is no conclusion.

Nalan Mingzhu listened for a while, and then suggested to Kangxi: "No one is clearer than Shi Lang on the Taiwan matter, the emperor might as well ask Shi Lang's opinion again."

Kangxi agreed.

It's just that this is a major event after all, and it still needs to be discussed in the court.

But Kangxi already had a conclusion in his heart, he was just waiting for an appropriate time.

He waited patiently.

"Today's discussion of politics: whether to incorporate Taiwan into the territory of the Qing Dynasty."

Many ministers held opposing views. They believed that Taiwan was isolated on the sea, and the governance and defense costs were not small, and they advocated abandoning the defense.

Kangxi did not express his opinion, but listened quietly, and the matter was temporarily shelved until the end of the political discussion.

Although it was discussed again and again, there was no result every time.

After coming and going, all the ministers who failed to react also reacted, and more and more ministers changed their tone.

Just at this time, Shi Lang persuaded the imperial court to incorporate Taiwan into the territory because of the importance of Taiwan's strategic position.

Shi Lang said: "Taiwan is included in the territory. Firstly, those remnants of the Ming Dynasty will have fewer places to go; secondly, if other countries launch a naval war against our country, Taiwan can be used as a buffer; thirdly, it can also be used to inspect other countries' movements."

Kangxi agreed.

It was the Spring Festival, and Kangxi took a break from government affairs for the time being. As soon as he took care of his affairs, he would only proceed after the Spring Festival.

In 1684 AD, the 23rd year of Kangxi, the Qing government set up one prefecture and three counties in Taiwan, namely Taiwan County, Fengshan County, and Zhuluo County, which belonged to Fujian Province. Two members, eight thousand soldiers.Set up a lieutenant general and two thousand soldiers in Penghu.

In order to attack Zheng's Taiwan, Kangxi implemented the policy of relocating borders and banning the sea in the early years, stipulating that residents within [-] miles of the coast should move inward, and boards were not allowed to enter the water.

It was first implemented in the coastal areas of Fujian, and later extended to the coastal areas of Guangdong and Zhejiang.

The range of the sea ban was expanded for a time, and then it ranged from forty miles, fifty miles, and even two to three hundred miles.During this period, boundary markers were set up, and even boundary walls were built to force the relocation of coastal residents within this range.

In short, let the entire southeastern coastal area of ​​China, ranging from [-] to [-] to [-] miles from the sea, become a no-man's land.

In the seventh year of Kangxi, when the Zheng family had retreated to Taiwan, the Qing court began to relax the ban, and Guangdong took the lead.

Now that the Taiwan area has been recovered, there is no need for the sea ban to exist.

The decree issued at the same time as the establishment of one government and three counties in Taiwan also officially ended the maritime ban and opened four ports in Macau, Zhangzhou, Ningbo, and Yuntaishan.

It is known as the four-port trade in history.

On the 29th day of the first lunar month, Gege Hesheli Suzhen of Chuxiu Palace was conferred the title of concubine, and she was called Concubine of Chuxiu Palace, and some people still call her Princess Chuxiu Palace.

Ge Ge means young lady in Manchu, and it is not too much to call her Ge Ge.

After all, the Qing Dynasty was Manchu and had its own status, such as Fujin and Gege. Although the number of concubines in the harem increased and the integration with Han regulations increased their status, there was still some confusion.

It's because Kangxi has already adjusted the status titles in the palace, but it can't be completely changed in a while.

In February, Liang Jiugong was ordered by Kangxi to send the elder brother of Yongshou Palace to Chuxiu Palace to be raised by the concubine of Chuxiu Palace.

Heshe Lisu said bitterly: "Lian Xin, look, I'm still a baby, and I'm about to raise a baby."

Lian Xin hurriedly persuaded: "Master, you can't say such a thing. The emperor asked you to raise the emperor's heir because you value the master."

Hesheli Suzhen nodded, thought for a while, and said: "But I don't know how to raise a baby."

Lian Xin has been in the palace for a long time, and she is very clear about these things, she said: "With the care of the nanny and the nanny, the master needs to take care of it himself. The master will go and have a look when he is free, and it can be regarded as taking care of her." gone."

Hesheli Suzhen didn't know how to think about it, and finally thought of something, and said: "You said, it's boring for me to stay by myself on weekdays, but now that I have a child, it's much more fun."

Lian Xin looked at the innocent master and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

The Hesheli family are all smart people, and Empress Renxiao is also a smart person, why is it this master's turn to be so straightforward.

Mingming Empress Renxiao was only 11 years old when she entered the palace.

She couldn't figure it out, so she didn't want to. She went down to deal with the trivial matters of Chuxiu Palace.

Hesheli was really bored, so she asked Lian Rui, another court lady who often walked in front of her, to read to her from the book.

After Lian Xin finished her work, she came in and brought her a bowl of soup, and only urged her to practice Guzheng after watching her drink it up.

Hesheli Suzhen begged for mercy: "Good Lianxin, please forgive me, let's forget about it today."

Lian Xin shook her head: "This is from the mansion, I dare not refuse to listen."

"Press me with this." Hesheli Su really had a bitter face, bargaining, "After playing, I'll go and see the newly sent kid."

Lian Xin wanted to refuse.

If the master has been there once, after that, if something happens to that elder brother, the master will inevitably suffer.

But she is just a slave, she can't refuse the master, that's a slave bullying the master.

She nodded and said, "Okay, it's just that the master will bring a few more people to watch."

Hesheli Suzhen had other thoughts: "Sister Tong Jia has raised the fourth elder brother for so long, she must be very experienced. Next time I see her, remember to remind me to ask."

Lian Xin complied.

Hesheli really went to play the piano.

The day is also smooth.

It was quiet in the harem, each went his own way.

Umalu still maintains his body.

Xu Shi listened to the imperial doctor's words, Kangxi did not touch Umalu, and the two of them only talked a few words on weekdays.

Kangxi finally said: "When you have time, go to the Empress's Palace for a walk, she misses you."

Umalu only replied: "Okay, the servant will go in a few days."

Kangxi knew that she was not in good health, so he didn't rush her, chatted for a while, and was about to leave when a young eunuch outside came in and whispered to Liang Jiugong.

Kangxi glanced at Liang Jiugong and went out first.

After leaving the Yonghe Palace, Liang Jiugong stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Guo Luoluo Chang's little elder brother who was born last year has passed away."

On July 23 last year, Guo Luoluogui gave birth to a prince named Yin.

It's just that the imperial concubine Tong Jia had just lost her daughter, and everyone in the palace ignored it intentionally or unintentionally, and even Kangxi never deliberately mentioned it.

Now that he heard that the child died, he felt a little sad in his heart, so he didn't say anything else, but let Liang Jiugong pass an order, and all funerals will be carried out as usual.

Kangxi added another sentence: "In the future, if there is any premature death, it is not allowed to pass on to Yonghe Palace and Chengqian Palace."

Liang Jiugong replied: "Yes."

Liang Jiugong followed closely: "Master, do you want to reward Guo Luoluo with something?"

Kangxi paused.

Liang Jiugong also stopped: "My servant is thinking, Guo Luoluo is the sister of Master Yi after all, I am afraid that Master Yi will feel uncomfortable now."

Kangxi stepped forward again: "As usual."

"Yes." Liang Jiugong wrote it down, and later planned to send some rewards as usual.

When Umalu stayed in September, his health was much better. Unlike before, he fell asleep tired after talking for a while, but now he can hold on for a while.

Only then did she let Liuli arrange things.

Xu Shi opened up, Liuli is not guarding against Yuan Qingqing and the others in her work now, and even tries her best to cultivate their appearance.

After getting the empress dowager's nod, Umalu left in a sedan chair.

Going out of the palace gate, when passing Chengqian Palace, Umalu glanced sideways, and then looked back.

Wait for her to meet Emperor Tong Jia in a few days.

There are people who kill donkeys, but she is not that kind of person. She has to thank the imperial concubine Tong Jia for her love and reason.

After arriving at the Palace of Mercy, the Empress Dowager did not show her off, and let her sit down after she saluted.
