Chapter 602: No Blood Seen
Chapter 602: No Blood Seen
As for the matter that he had discussed with Yinzhen before, which was to have the Crown Prince ascend the throne sooner, the two of them discussed it again and decided to let nature take its course!
Since their family has no such intention, then for them, it is best for the emperor to be on the throne!
Today's Qing Dynasty may not be similar to later generations, but at least it is slowly changing. After all, the Qing Dynasty was a feudal society that was completely different from later generations, so only things that were suitable for them would be used by them!
Kangxi is no longer the Xuanye who could pacify the Three Feudatories at will. He has been in power for more than 40 years now, and stable development is what he wants!
To be honest, Wen Yao was already surprised that Kangxi was now able to settle down and make changes. To her, the novels she had read before were just novels after all, because Kangxi knew too much and was even aware of the developments at home and abroad!
It’s… I don’t want to change, not that I can’t change!
When Wen Yao heard the prince mention the incident of Dai Zi being framed, she realized that Kangxi had always known that he was wronged, so even though all the civil and military officials in the court framed him, Kangxi spared Dai Zi's life!
He wanted Dai Zi to leave the capital and live in silence. After all, Huo Tong was too dangerous. However, saving Dai Zi's life would also leave a way out for himself.
Now this fallback has been used. Over the past three years or so, the Fire System has been used by the entire army. Even various fireworks and firecrackers or alchemy tools in temples are all under control. They are gradually being brought under control, leaving no trace in the hands of the people, and no one is allowed to control them privately!
Wen Yao opened her eyes, took the yogurt brought by Nanny Cui He, and drank it all. "Give me a cup of tea in fifteen minutes," then waved her hand to let her go.
Thinking about the changes over the past three years, every place has changed a lot. Take the appearance for example, it is visible to the naked eye, such as the floor is cement and some of the windows have been replaced with glass!
This is a change of environment!
Then there are the situations among the common people. For example, there are more women going out on the streets nowadays, but there are very few girls under the age of eight with three-inch golden lotus feet.
Another example is men’s hairstyles, especially those of the Han people, all of them have long long hair!
As for other things, they are also constantly changing, but they are not so obvious to the naked eye. As for changes in reading content, they are also constantly changing!
When Wen Yao thought about this, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. She didn't know if she would be able to use electricity in her lifetime. She hoped she could. After all, she went to bed early at night now. It was really a perfect schedule!
When Yinzhen came back, Wen Yao told him what she had thought about today. The two of them checked for deficiencies and filled in the gaps, and were busy for another half a year.
During this half year, the Eighth Prince married Guaerjia as his concubine, and she became pregnant. Although it was not a pregnancy after the enthronement, she became pregnant within a month after entering the Eighth Prince's mansion.
The things that Wen Yao sorted out were recorded bit by bit as soon as she remembered them, and she had Yinzhen hand them over to Kangxi, so Kangxi took them out bit by bit in the past few years. Now, all the civil and military officials in the court have no free time at all!
There is less standing in line. Standing in line? Stop it, I am so busy now that I am going home and falling asleep!
However, this did not delay Kangxi's entry into the harem, nor did it delay Kangxi's entry into the harem. Even now, the nineteenth prince, born to Gao, is three years old, and the twentieth prince is already in the belly of the nineteenth prince's mother, Gao. In recent years, Gao has been a latecomer and has been quite favored.
After all, Concubine Yi did not suppress anyone in the Yikun Palace, so Gao also had the opportunity to serve the emperor in bed. At the beginning, Concubine Yi treated everyone equally and gave everyone in her palace equal opportunities!
But some people are dumb in words, some are brainless, some are clever in words, and some are smart. The favor is gradually revealed. The two concubines Niu promised that they would remain unfavored as before, and Gao came out of it step by step. Now she has given birth to the nineteenth prince, who is being raised by Concubine Yi!
However, Concubine Yi did not raise the child directly, but just gave him the title and let Gao raise the child herself. Gao was also grateful and continued to respect Concubine Yi as always, and Kangxi saw all of this!
Wen Yao could only say that those who were favored in the harem for a long time were all smart people, otherwise they would only be favored for a short time and then disappear.
On the eve of Yinzhen's birthday, the two handed the baby to Kangxi and got the opportunity to travel outside the capital for half a month again. What happened this time made Wen Yao unsure of how to evaluate it.
Wen Yao wrote this experience into a travel story. After finishing it, she went to the palace to show it to Concubine Yi. Kangxi happened to be there at the time, so the story was intercepted!
In the Yiku Palace, Kangxi read through the books carefully. After traveling for half a month, Wen Yao wrote a lot of papers, but she actually read them quite quickly. It took Kangxi half an hour to finish the book.
Then he handed it to Wei Zhu instead of Concubine Yi. Kangxi looked at Wen Yao who was drinking milk tea over there and asked, "Which family are you fighting for?"
In fact, this story is very simple. There was a family called Sui. They were just ordinary people. They were not rich but they could eat enough and were well fed. This condition was actually not bad!
Such an ordinary family supported a scholar who had passed the examination for a scholar and was preparing to take the examination for a juren. However, someone reported that his family had bound the feet of their daughter two years ago!
Just like that, Sui no longer had the chance to pass the imperial examination. His family cried and wailed. Sui was also pointed at and criticized when he went out with his classmates. As time went by, such a talented man was unwilling to go out.
He hanged himself a month ago. All the efforts of the whole family went down the drain, and they also lost their relative Sui. The family who reported him was also frightened and moved away from their hometown overnight to an unknown place.
However, the married girl of the Sui family was divorced, and no one was willing to marry into their family, so everything was ruined. Also, half a month ago, when Wen Yao and Yinzhen traveled there, the two old people in that family had just passed away, and they were in the process of dividing the family.
Wen Yao didn't know what to say, "Father Emperor, I know their family is wrong, but after hearing this story, I just feel uncomfortable. No decision will be made without bloodshed." But... Wen Yao didn't continue, "Father Emperor, you have worked hard."
[Fortunately, I don't like this kind of politics. This kind of thing is really not suitable for me. I used to think that if others can change the world by traveling through time, I can do it too. It seems that I can't! ]
Kangxi almost rolled his eyes. You are nothing! You don't even have self-awareness!
"You didn't say you wanted to save the Sui family," Kangxi was quite satisfied. At least he didn't get it wrong. "Since they violated the imperial order, they shouldn't even think about taking advantage of the imperial order. This is their own fault."
This kind of thing was too common, and Kangxi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Foot binding must still be practiced in some places, and killing the chicken to scare the monkeys was necessary. No matter how innocent the people implicated were, they had to bear the consequences!
How can any national decision not involve bloodshed?
