Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

Chapter 33

At that time, he thought, he would give her a position, he would let her go, she would become the same as the other concubines, he would not make the emperor's grandmother angry, he could do it, but wait... a few days.

Just wait a few more days.

But day after day, until now, he still can't seem to let her go.

He trapped her, and he trapped himself.

They look at each other.

One is confused and the other is as calm as ever.

Umalu suddenly sighed and stepped forward.

Kangxi subconsciously backed away until he was forced to sit on a chair.

Umalu looked at him, knelt on the ground, and held his hand: "The slave doesn't know what the master wants, but the slave thinks, no matter what the master does, there is naturally a reason for the master."

He subconsciously asked her, "Even if I hate you."

Umalu looked at him: "Yes."

"You're pitying me." He looked down at her, pinched her chin, and looked into her eyes.

Umalu didn't speak.

Kangxi looked at her slightly widened eyes and laughed: "You really are pitying me."

He wanted to let her get out sharply, but he just bent down and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to crush her, and then rubbed her into his body until she became his bone, Blood in blood, flesh in flesh.

Umalu hesitated for a moment, hugged him tentatively for the first time, and patted his back lightly.

She knew she shouldn't do this, if someone saw it, or if Kangxi cared about it, she would be treated as "disrespectful".

But she was soft-hearted at that moment, so she made such a move.

If it was really disrespectful, she would admit it.

She patted gently, quietly without saying a word.

Kangxi's heavy breathing due to inner pain gradually calmed down, and the uncontrollable pain was dissipating.

Kangxi held her cheek and kissed her lips.

Delicate kisses.

His heart was full of peace and joy, and the more he looked at her, the more he liked her, as if her appearance was grown according to his liking, even the mole on her cheek was extremely cute, growing on the crack of his heart.

Her every move, every word and deed, is obviously exactly the same as others, but he also likes her.

He should like her.

He hugged her with affection in his heart.

Around thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of cold, in the end overlapping tears seal brocade characters.

Life is only, love is hard to die.

Don't ask why, only love is deep, only love is deep.

Kangxi came down from the early court and went to the two palaces to pay his respects.

Bao Cheng nestled in the arms of the Empress Dowager, and when he saw Kangxi, he began to cry, one drop after another.

The Empress Dowager asked Aunt Su Ma to take Baocheng out, and then turned away from the left and right, and then said to Kangxi: "I thought you were a child with a clear mind, but I didn't expect to humiliate the prince for a woman."

Kangxi sighed: "It is precisely because the grandson takes a fancy to the crown prince that he demands more from him. The crown prince is the crown prince of the country, so he must not be a cruel and insensitive person. This is not a blessing for the country."

"When the Qing Dynasty ruled the Central Plains, like Dorgon and Oboi, they valued our Manchus very much. They committed bloody insults to the Han people, so that most of the Han people hated our Qing court. They also wanted to enslave the Han people like animals. Respect me as a Manchu. But my Manchu family is not the only one in this world." Kangxi said, "The forces against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty will not perish. To this day, the San Francisco rebellion has been echoed by everyone. It is not because of this reason."

He asked the Empress Dowager: "I want my Qing Dynasty to have long-term peace and stability, and I want the Qing Dynasty to be peaceful and prosperous. How can I let the prince repeat the mistakes of Dorgon and Oboi?"

Kangxi stood up straight: "The emperor's grandmother once assisted the emperor's father, so why don't you understand? If the Qing Dynasty is to stand firm, it must reuse the Han officials, accommodate the Han people, and make the Manchus, Mongolians, and Hans truly like one family."

Kangxi said: "Let me tell you the truth from the emperor's grandmother, my grandson plans to open the "Learned and Great Confucianism" next year, and recruit the great scholars of the Han people for his own use, so as to rule the world together."

He said: "In the past, the Han officials were no higher than the fifth grade, so the Han people were unwilling to bend their waists for the five buckets of rice. From now on, regardless of Manchen, Mengchen, and Hanchen, those who are able will live there. They are allowed to be powerful, and they are allowed to be high-ranking officials and rich salary. , there will always be people of insight bowing their heads."

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly: "If you have such an idea, then do it like this. I am old and can't keep up with current affairs. You are a smart boy, and the imperial grandmother knows that you can make a career."

The Empress Dowager said: "I'm getting old, and I can't pay attention to the affairs of the court. I just want to watch you bloom and scatter. What you said is reasonable, but the prince is young, so he just needs to be careful. Bow your head to a nameless woman."

She sighed: "The emperor can't and won't make mistakes, so how can the crown prince?"

Kangxi said calmly: "There is a saying in "Three Kingdoms Shu Shu Biography of the First Master": Do not do evil because it is small, and do not do good because it is small. Only the virtuous and the virtuous can be obeyed by others."

"It is said that parents love their sons, and they think about it. Although my father and mother died early, my grandmother also has a heart for me. People have the same heart and the same reason, how can I bear to see the prince's wrong steps?" .”

Kangxi said: "If the prince doesn't know that he is wrong, he won't change it. Step by step, he will gradually deviate."

Kangxi said: "The ancestors laid down this great river and mountain. Those of us who are younger generations only need to guard this country. Only a benevolent king can keep it. Now the prince is only doing this to the palace. How to sympathize with the people."

The Empress Dowager waved to Kangxi, Kangxi walked over, and the Empress Dowager touched his cheek.

"Good boy, you have grown up." She said, "When I first saw you, you were not very old, but now you are a good emperor."

She looked at him with dazed eyes, as if looking at someone through him.

After she was in a trance for a long time, she came back to her senses: "You and your imperial father are really alike."

She asked him to sit down, looked at him, and sighed: "Xuan Ye, tell the emperor's grandmother honestly, isn't it because you value that woman that you let the prince do this?"

Kangxi's heart skipped a beat.

"Of course not," he said.

The empress dowager couldn't see what he was thinking, but she just said: "The emperor said yes, so let's go. You have dinner in a while, go back with Baocheng."

"Yes."

"Now that Niu Hulu's family has been appointed as the successor, you should visit her more often."

"Yes."

The Empress Dowager asked Aunt Su Ma to bring Baocheng in. When Baocheng saw Kangxi, he was still a little angry. He turned his head away from Kangxi and only looked at his ancestors.

Kangxi shook his head helplessly, and looked at the old and the young with a smile.

After the meal, Kangxi took Baocheng back to Qianqing Palace and discussed with the ministers about conscription.

Although two of the San Francisco surrendered, Wu Sangui was just fighting a trapped beast, but Taiwan has not yet been recovered, and the lands bordering the territory often provoke troubles.

To fight again and again, it is indeed necessary to garrison troops for future plans.

　1678, 17 year
　　In the first month of the lunar year, it was announced that there would be a system of subjects that combined recommendation and examination - "Bo Xue Hong Confucianism".All key figures, no matter how old they are, how sick they are, or how stubborn their attitudes are, they will be caught. There are more than 170 people recommended this time, and 150 of them took the exam.After the conscripts arrived in Beijing, they were given preferential treatment in terms of living conditions, examination arrangements, and post-examination appointments.Most of the scholar-bureaucrats admitted this time are scholars with outstanding literary talents and solid academic background.Among these people, quite a few had serious anti-Qing sentiments at first, but once they were hired, they had high officials, generous salary, ample food and clothing, and enjoyed various privileges, thus shaking their original anti-Qing will and gradually giving up other Anti-Qing stance.
