Chapter 105: The 105th Day of Wanting to Die

Kangxi played with the matchbox for a few seconds before putting it away and said to the Minister of Justice, "My dear minister, please don't be offended. Please get up quickly."

The Minister of Justice said, "I am surprised by what I have seen."

Alas, he thought about it carefully and realized that it was impossible for Kangxi to learn such things by trickery.

Kangxi was so smart that he was like a sieve. From the time he ascended the throne at the age of eight to now, he has experienced much more than Kangxi.

The Minister of Justice gave up his restless thoughts.

He should just deal with the prisoners honestly.

But the Minister of Justice was still somewhat cautious towards foreigners.

"Your Majesty, how should we deal with those foreigners?"

After all, this concerns the Qing Dynasty's external image. Now that the maritime ban has been lifted, there will only be more and more foreigners coming.

I heard that there were Japanese people landing in the coastal areas, planning to have an alliance with the Qing Dynasty in the name of trade.

However, the emperor strongly rejected their application.

Kangxi had a hatred for Japan.

Kangxi thought for a moment and said, "Be strict in everything. Oh, and remember to make their situation public. I want them to die with a clear conscience."

To avoid protests from foreigners.

If you have the nerve to protest, take a look at what shameful things you have done.

Humph, the backbone of the Qing Dynasty is not so easily corroded.

Minister of Justice: "Yes."

After communicating with Kangxi, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple began their daily case handling work in full swing.

This case won't be cleared up in a short while.

Ten days passed since the investigation began, and during this time the common people had figured out what had caused the unusual events in the capital that day.

Those foreigners actually dared to poison the people of the Qing Dynasty. They deserve to be put to death.

Once poisoned, there is basically no cure.

They had seen those people suffering from drug addiction in the market, as if they had lost their personality.

It's so scary.

What you hear is far less shocking than what you see with your own eyes.

They couldn't imagine that foreigners could be so brave.

I heard that their targets were smokers, and for a while, the wives at home all urged their husbands to quit smoking.

If you become addicted, you won't be able to pay for it even if you sell everything you own. Didn't you see the son of the richest man being put in a cage and displayed?

The rich people have become like that, so if ordinary people like them were poisoned, they would be asking for trouble.

The main thing is that that tiny piece is actually more valuable than gold.

Your Majesty has done a great job.

Some people were afraid that they would be implicated, so they started reporting and exposing anyone who smoked. They would report anyone who smoked to their superiors.

What a joke! Who knows if they would deliberately poison them and want to see them become penniless.

This drug is not easy to quit.

Or it can't be quit at all.

And there is no cure.

The director of the Imperial Hospital has come out and said that there is nothing they can do and they can only rely on themselves to fight.

This thing is scarier than a casino.

The casinos want their money, and that's killing them.

More than one life.

For the first time, Kangxi discovered how efficient his ministers were.

The workload in these short ten days is equivalent to what they do in a month.

At the same time, Kangxi was very moved that the people of the Qing Dynasty supported him so much.

This feeling made Kangxi simply not know what to say.

Very proud and fulfilled.

After being busy taking care of a dozen children for ten days, he finally had a moment of relaxation.

So he went to find Xiaoliu.

The Longevity Festival is in two days. This time he did not get involved, it was all done by Xiaoliu.

Of course, other people also helped Xiaoliu, otherwise Xiaoliu would not have taken on this difficult task.

Now Kangxi finds it strange to see Xiaoliu in the palace. This kid runs outside every day and no one knows what he does.

But he would come to have dinner with him every day, so Kangxi forgave him for this behavior.

When Kangxi arrived with his hands behind his back, he saw a group of people surrounding the prince.

Today is the day off and there are no classes in the study, so the kids all came over.

Since Yin Zhuo learned about □□, he has led people to research and develop many kinds of fireworks, including fairy wands.

Now they are testing the effects.

"Here, this is a fairy wand, Wujina, take it."

Seeing that she was not afraid, Yin Zhuo put it into Wu Rina's hand.

Wujina was afraid at first, but when she heard Sixth Brother say that this was a fairy wand, she mustered up her courage.

She puffed up her little face, took the fairy wand with both hands, and took a deep breath: "Sixth brother, order."

Yinzhen stood by his sister nervously.

My sister obviously looks scared, why is she trying to be brave?

Yinzhen really couldn't understand it.

Yin Zhuo counted down to three: "Three, two, one, wow——"

After lighting it, the sparkler immediately started to crackle. Although it was daytime, I could still see it glowing.

Everyone was stunned by the beautiful scene before them.

Although there are fireworks on New Year's Eve, they are obviously not as shocking as the fairy wand in my hand.

After one stick was finished, Wu Rina's face turned red with excitement: "Sixth brother looks good!"

Yin Zhuo didn't expect to succeed in one try.

[Wait, why haven't I seen Dai Zi in all these days? Isn't he a famous inventor of firearms in the Qing Dynasty? He played a role in the Battle of Galdan. Wait, let's calculate the time. Could it be that the emperor has already believed the rumors and exiled him...]

Kangxi was stunned. How could he let Dai Zi go since he was colluding with the Japanese?

This was a capital crime of treason, but he had been given a break and his life was spared.

Why did Xiaoliu say there was a misunderstanding here?

[Then Dai Zi was wrongly accused because he offended Nan Huairen. Tsk, the relationship between the emperor and Nan Huairen is so good that I believe everything he says. If I don't develop firearms now, I will be the one who gets beaten in the future.]

Kangxi blinked in panic. Is this really the case?

Yinzhen didn't even dare to say a word, as he had already noticed that the Emperor had arrived.

Sixth brother, what this means is that the Emperor did something wrong.

Dai Zi is not young anymore.

Yinzhen had no impression of this kind of person.

He is still too young and knows too little.

Yinzhen helped his sister wipe her hands. The ashes from the burning fairy wand left some gray marks on her hands.

Yinxiang and Yinzhen also blinked. Will Dai Zi be as powerful as the sixth brother?

The Sixth Brother even got some fireworks ready, intending to show them off during the Longevity Festival.

I don’t know what it was like, but I often heard tremors in the suburbs, and many people thought it was an earthquake.

Finally I found out that it was Sixth Brother who caused the noise.

Kangxi wanted to leave, and he felt a little guilty about going to find Xiaoliu at this time.

Yin Zhuo quickly called out to the Emperor: "Emperor, come and set off fireworks for you."

Kangxi looked at the other children awkwardly, then pretended to be calm and said, "What?"

Yin Zhuo stuffed a fairy wand into Kangxi's hand and said, "Light it up. This is a flower I give you."

Kangxi couldn't help laughing: "What kind of flowers are these? They are not as good as the ones I have in my greenhouse."

Yin Zhuo chuckled: "Fireworks are ephemeral, but my love for your Majesty is eternal."

As he spoke, Yin Zhuo held his face with his hands and compared himself to a sunflower.

Kangxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You."

He couldn't beat Xiaoliu.

Yin Zhuo chuckled, and then said tentatively: "Your Majesty, I want to make more fireworks. I heard that Master Dai knows a lot about firearms. Why don't you give him to me to study fireworks? I will set them off for you every day."

[Alas, this is the only time I can watch fireworks. Fireworks have long been banned in modern times. There is nothing I can do. The sky in the capital is no longer blue. It is all gray. I want to talk to my father-in-law about environmental protection, but there is no need. There is nothing to waste now.]

Kangxi was stunned, and everyone else looked up at the sky like Kangxi.

The blue sky, white clouds and gentle breeze create a very good environment.

I never thought that there is still an environmental pollution problem in modern times. We can't even see the blue sky. It shows how serious the pollution is.

Kangxi also warned himself to remember everything Xiaoliu said.

These are all based on the experiences of those who have experienced it.

Kangxi said nothing for a long while before saying, "I have sent him out to do something. When he comes back, I will bring him to you."

Others: …

Your Majesty, what are you saying? Didn’t you exile the person?

Why do you want to bring him back now?

Yin Zhuo didn't believe it either, but since Kangxi said so, he had achieved his goal.

[My words now carry too much weight. The Emperor will give me whatever I want. I will leave the palace after the Longevity Festival...]

[No, I will definitely leave the palace. I will live in the school and the position of principal will belong to me.]

Kangxi's face turned black. He couldn't bear to hear Xiaoliu say anything outside the palace.

There is nothing wrong with the palace.

As a result, Kangxi now disliked the Qing Palace. He didn't care and was determined to rely on Xiaoliu.

He goes wherever Xiaoliu goes.

Yin Zhuo nodded: "Okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Kangxi knew that he was not in a hurry, but he was. What would he do if Nan Huairen did this?

Nan Huairen and he also have a very good personal relationship.

But after the incident with the foreigners, Kangxi began to have some prejudice against them.

I always feel that they are here to destroy the Qing Dynasty.

He treated Nan Huairen well.

Kangxi was in high spirits when he went out, but frowned when he came back.

Liang Jiugong didn’t know what had happened, but it was a fact that the emperor was in a bad mood.

Kangxi: "Someone, go check on Nan Huairen."

The secret guard paused for a moment, then took the order and went out.

That’s right, Kangxi also had secret guards, which he had newly trained. According to Xiaoliu, they were the Foreign Affairs Processing Office.

The people inside are all dead men.

They were his minions used to investigate the foreigners' background.

But he didn't expect that it would be used on Nan Huairen first.

A master of firearms, he actually believed Nan Huairen's words. Xiaoliu also mentioned the Battle of Galdan, and many firearms were invented by Dai Zi.

Since then, there has never been anyone as powerful as Dai Zi.

After all, if you are not careful when studying firearms and the weapon goes off accidentally, it could be fatal.

Only Dai Zi could play with gunpowder with ease.

Kangxi is now very fortunate that Xiaoliu mentioned it.

Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty would have lost another genius, and this result was caused by him alone.

Kangxi felt very guilty.

But Yin Zhuo didn't know that he was making his final plan.

[Calculating the time, I only have a few days left after the Wanshou Festival. After finishing this, I will go to Twelve to rehearse my funeral. This is the last thing I can do for the Emperor. After Twelve has practiced with me, it will be smoother to hold a state funeral for Kangxi, and the Emperor can also leave in a dignified manner.]

When Kangxi heard this at the dinner table, he burst into tears.

He doesn't need it!

He only wants Xiaoliu.
