Qing Dynasty: After Kangxi Kowloon heard my voice

Chapter 255: Different Treatment

I have to say that Mrs. Xiaojiu's method is really good. She just does what they say without losing her temper and lets them make all the decisions themselves.

Kangxi was in a good mood. Looking at the courtiers who made him furious and looking aggrieved at the moment, this was different from him suppressing them. After all, in the past it was his majesty and he who refuted, but now it was them... who were slapping themselves in the face.

Soetu looked left and right and exchanged a glance with his two mortal enemies, Nalan Mingzhu. Soetu took a step to the right and Nalan Mingzhu took a step to the left.

Soetu really wanted to complain. He had just told his courtiers to stop talking, but he gave them so many looks and they just stuck their necks out and refused to listen!

In the end, you have to save yourself!

What the hell does it have to do with you if the princess goes to the study?

They were all going to marry, so what was wrong with learning something? If he were to ask him, the princesses should have learned martial arts long ago, otherwise they wouldn't have died so early!

Nalan Mingzhu also had a helpless look on his face. He had just not spoken to the people on his side. But he knew that some of his people were old stubborn. They were not targeting the royal family, but themselves and their families. So, just let it be!

See, now you've learned your lesson.

So, it’s not that they can’t change, it’s just that no one suppressed them in the past.

Suo Etu spoke first, "Your Majesty, I think it is proper for the princesses to follow the princes to the study. It is our fault that we did not think about this in advance."

Nalan Mingzhu added: "In reply to the emperor, I think what Lord Suo'etu said is very true. It is okay to let the daughter of a court official be the candidate for marriage, but this matter must be carefully selected. Do not let unsuitable people be selected, so as not to ruin the original meaning of the marriage."

"Lord Nalan is right. The princess who is to be married off must be chosen carefully. After all, so many princesses who were married off have died in the past," Yinzhi spoke directly and glanced at Nalan Mingzhu. If you can't speak, don't speak!

Nalan Mingzhu glanced at his eldest prince who had gone mad, and thought, forget it, he would not say anything about this matter. He would not talk to someone who had so many daughters!

Soetu decisively lowered his head and didn't look at the two of them. Now there was no need to argue. He would not offend the eldest prince, this fool. No matter who you are, he would beat you up!

Soetu knew very well that when the eldest prince no longer competed for the position of crown prince and the throne, he would be invincible in the eyes of the emperor, and even the crown prince might not be able to compare with him.

So what is he, a slave?

"Your Majesty, I think what you two gentlemen and the princes said is very true. How to define merits and faults, and the degree of rewards and punishments, all need to be formulated in detail. I think this system is not aimed at the marriage, but at the definition of all merits and faults. Now, the rewards for those who have made merits are uneven, and some people who have committed faults are only fined some silver, which is just a meal for them."

Wang Fan, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, took a step to the side and expressed his opinion with a slight bow, "The rewards for those who have made contributions are some very...precious things, but those things are actually not that important to the meritorious officials. Many meritorious officials come from poor families, and even if their homes are searched, they may not be able to find ten taels of silver."

Kangxi nodded gently. "What Wang Aiqing said is right. This item is a very positive opinion and can be fully adopted. Wang Xian, this matter is handed over to you. After the detailed formulation, submit it directly to me and then let us discuss it."

Kangxi then looked at all the court officials and said, "No one has any objection to the princesses going to the study and the martial arts field? This is not a decision I make myself. I let you decide. This is not a one-sided decision. My dear ministers, do you have any objections?"

At this time, no court official dared to speak. Did they dare to express any opinions?

In the past, although the emperor’s power was growing, at least they still had a chance to argue. But now that the princes are united, do these ministers still have a chance?

But for Soetu, Nalan Mingzhu and the ministers from the princes' mothers' families, they actually wanted to fight for it before, but now all their ambitions have been suppressed!

Because they have all been warned by the princes they assist, especially since none of these princes are easy to fool. If they go against the advice of their respective princes, then their ambitions will naturally be completely exposed, and they will only be abandoned by their respective princes in the end!

That would be a disaster for their family!

So why bother?

Ambitious people are also very patient and smart hunters. They will not rush recklessly just for ambition, but will try to find the most advantageous path for them in the existing environment!

"If you have any opinions, please say something. Are you saying that I forced you to do this by keeping silent?" Kangxi said with a serious face and glanced at them coldly.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your servants have no objection." They were so uniform and orderly, just like they had been trained.

The eldest prince muttered, "They are more orderly than the soldiers I trained!"

After the court session, Yinzhen and Yinqi stood on both sides of the Fifth Prince Yinqi. The Fifth Prince looked around and said, "What do you two want to do now? Just say it directly."

"Fifth brother, aren't we going to Yikun Palace?" Yinzhen looked at his fifth brother, "Fifth brother, today Guo Luoma will bring the eldest daughter-in-law into the palace to question mother."

A hint of coldness flashed across the Fifth Prince's gentle face. "No need to go to Mother now. Mother will handle it herself. Little Nine, Tenth Brother, just do what you should do. We will go to Mother together after we are relieved of our duties."

The Fifth Prince looked at Yinzhen and said, "Xiaojiu, mother also needs to save face. If we go, mother will be happy but also embarrassed."

"That's fine. Yaoyao has gone there. I feel at ease with Yaoyao around. Has fifth sister-in-law gone there?" Yinzhen felt more at ease when he thought of his own Yaoyao, so he asked.

The Fifth Prince's face darkened, "She is under house arrest, so she'd better stay at home. We'll let her out after she's really reflected on her mistakes." The Fifth Prince's tolerance has almost reached its limit. He admits that she ignored him, but if he asked her to coax her all the time, don't even think about it!

Liu Jia deserved to die for what she did. Even though he was sad, he had nothing to say and could only pretend that nothing had happened. This was his wife's counterattack!

But the Fifth Prince really couldn't get over Hongsheng's death, but he would respect his own wife, but only once!

The Fifth Prince would not plead for her what she did in the palace, but that was all she deserved. She was high-handedly investigating other people's affairs under the pretext of doing things for his sake. Can she just inquire about the affairs of the palace at will?

The Fifth Prince patted his Ninth Brother's arm and said, "Don't worry. Your Fifth Sister-in-law was so proud of her success that she became arrogant. It's a good thing to wake her up this time. Let's go and leave the palace together."

Wei Zhu had already quickly caught up with the three of them, "Fifth Prince, Ninth Prince, the Emperor wants you to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity."

Yin?’s eyes widened. Why was he treated differently? The Emperor was so careless and only called him Ninth Brother and not himself!
