Kangxi sighed and commented,

"Fine."

There is no better son than a father.

He also understood what Yinreng said in his heart.

Is Yinzhi a person of good character?

Strictly speaking, that's not the case. He also has a treacherous and violent side in his bones.

Since he was brought back to the palace at the age of six, Kangxi had been secretly observing Yinzhi for a period of time.

He could have ignored the fact that Yinzhi tormented the palace maids, treating them like toys and beating and scolding them at will, but he could not have ignored the fact that he was nepotism and was closer to the Nalan family than to the royal family.

Yinreng was educated as a crown prince since childhood and attended several morning court sessions, so his answers were more comprehensive than Yinzhi's.

He could understand Yinzhi, but he also had to admit that Yinzhi's talent in politics was indeed not as good as Yinreng, or even as good as Yinzhi and Yinzhen.

Perhaps, as Yinreng said, he is suitable for military service.

However, Yinzhi was somewhat unhappy after hearing Kangxi's evaluation.

But he also knew that compared to Yinreng's fluent responses, his answers were indeed a bit sloppy.

After the course examination was over, Kangxi told the two of them his own theory of employing people, and commented on the answers of Yinreng and Yinzhi.

He spoke in a simple way, but Yinzhi could understand him. Now he finally understood why the emperor gave him an "okay" evaluation.

In Kangxi's eyes, a person's goodness or evil, or whether his character is noble or not, is of no importance at all.

All he wanted was the person's usefulness.

If he can complete a task without making any mistakes and no one holds him accountable afterwards, then he doesn't really care about the process.

If someone is held accountable afterwards, it also depends on whether it has aroused public anger and whether this person is still of any use.

So although Yinzhi spoke more bluntly, it was not entirely without merit.

As history records, when a meritorious official or general is so powerful that his popularity overshadows his emperor's, and his popularity threatens the emperor's ruling position, the emperor will then keep a treacherous villain to oppose him, while the emperor reaps the benefits.

But you also have to strike a good balance, otherwise you will end up losing everything if you are not careful.

Isn’t this what Emperor Gaozong of Song did?

He himself was unwilling to deal with Yue Fei, so he instructed Qin Hui to frame him, and he eventually achieved his goal.

This is how an emperor employs people.

Yinreng shook his head.

'What the old man said was a bit subtle... Yue Fei was a great man, but he was not someone that could be framed by Qin Hui.

If he hadn't distributed the land he conquered from the Jin Dynasty to his soldiers and refugees, threatening the status of the nobles and landlords in several countries, would Song Gaozong have had the brains to move against such a meritorious general?

In terms of achievements surpassing his master, Han Shizhong is much more powerful than Yue Fei.

Throughout the dynasties, as long as the generals distributed the conquered land to the people, it was equivalent to having a stable source of soldiers with strong fighting power.

In battle, they charge forward without regard for their lives. If they don't achieve great military success, it would be a disservice to the land they were allocated...'

Kangxi couldn't help nodding secretly while listening.

As a ruler, he could naturally see through those problems, but he could explain them clearly to Yinreng, but he could not teach Yinzhi to do so.

If Yinzhi had other thoughts, it would be a big trouble for both him and Yinreng.

When thinking about this, Yinreng's inner voice sounded again,

'More than two hundred years later, that teacher did the same thing. If it weren't for him, the vast land of China would have almost fallen into the hands of Japanese pirates!'

"Just thinking about it makes me angry. A century of humiliation. If it weren't for the Qing dynasty, those damned bastards, who only cared about their own little piece of land, how could we have been ridden on the head by the foreign devils?!"

Yinreng was indignant, but when he thought about the ending of his previous life, his anger disappeared and he even felt a little bored.

"Forget it, forget it. I'm just an ordinary person. I can't change history, nor can I change anyone's fate. Being invaded may be a necessary ordeal for a new country. It's a pity for China to have such a historical treasure left over for thousands of years. Those that were stolen will be stolen, and those that were burned will be burned. Forget it. I'll be dead by then anyway. I just don't know which idiot will rob my tomb..."

Yinreng fell into deep thought.

Kangxi was almost going crazy.

When he heard that "such a large land almost fell into the hands of Japanese pirates", he almost fell asleep.

However, years of cultivating his energy allowed him to suppress the shock and murderous intent in his heart.

Later, Kangxi held a cup of tea in his hand and pretended to blow the tea leaves, but in fact he pricked up his ears and listened to everything.

He now has no time to care who the "teacher" is. He just wants to fight the bastard who invaded the Qing Dynasty!

After hearing Yinreng's thoughts, Kangxi stood up from his chair, smiled,

"Let's stop here for today. I still have some government affairs to deal with. You two should go back and rest first."

Then he took Liang Jiugong and walked towards the door.

Yinreng and Yinzhi quickly stood up and saluted.

"Your son respectfully sends His Majesty off."

After Kangxi left, Yinzhi stood up straight, his face with thick eyebrows and big eyes full of seriousness.

"I admit that my answer this time is indeed not as good as yours, but don't be complacent, I will surpass you sooner or later."

"oh……"

Yinreng responded nonchalantly, then walked away.

Yinzhi: “…”

His nostrils were about to burst with anger, and he chased after him.

"What do you mean?!"

"It's nothing."

"What do you mean by nothing?!"

…

Kangxi did not return to the Winter Warm Pavilion to handle government affairs, but returned to his bedroom.

He didn't even bother to wash up, and just sat on the bed alone in a daze.

In the eyes of the eunuchs and palace maids who served him, this was actually an act worthy of attention. However, in the past few months, Kangxi had done this quite frequently, so even Liang Jiugong could only suppress his doubts and stand quietly aside.

Kangxi was extremely confused at this moment.

From Yinreng's inner thoughts, he got a glimpse of what would happen in the future.

How is it possible that the great Qing Dynasty was almost occupied by the tiny country of Japan?

And what country are those foreigners who rode on the Qing Dynasty and pissed and shit on it?

Is this teacher a general like Yue Fei?

Why does the name sound so weird?

There are also tomb robbers who dare to steal from the royal family. They really want their lives to be long gone!

Kangxi has no answer to the lawsuit?

But in that situation, if he continued to listen, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist and would chop someone.

Kangxi thought so and did so.

There was a room in the Qianqing Palace where he practiced Bu Ku. He got up and went there to vent his anger, and then he felt much better.
