Chapter 75 The 75th Day of Wanting to Die
That's all he asked for, nothing more.
Just don't let him be the only one being visited.
Kangxi touched his face and felt that he should pay more attention to his image.
Yin Zhuo was waiting for Tana to come over, and then he memorized the elementary school rules and regulations according to his memory.
He was also thinking about whether to open a technical school to teach people some professional skills, such as carpentry, blacksmithing, cooking, and medicine.
You have to know that these resources were also monopolized in the Qing Dynasty. No one would hand over their livelihood if they were poor and had no money.
Tana came over with a hint of panic on her face. It was obvious that she had hurried over after hearing Yin Zhuo calling her.
Tana took a breath and said, "Sixth Brother, what's wrong?"
Seeing that she was panting, Yin Zhuo pulled her to sit down and asked her to relax: "Sit down first and listen to what I have to say."
But when it came time to speak, Yin Zhuo didn't know where to start.
He didn't know whether Tana could understand his thoughts.
[Alas, by the time the school is opened, I will be dead. Who will take over the school? Although this school is not like the one opened when the Qing Dynasty fell, I do not have the ability to send them abroad to learn foreign knowledge. Moreover, foreigners should have just started the industrial revolution at that time, and I am afraid that their level of advancement is not as high as that of the Qing Dynasty. But I have to do it.]
Tana was stunned for a moment, totally not understanding what Sixth Brother meant.
Sixth brother said he wanted to open a school?
This school probably refers to the Imperial College or a private school.
But wouldn't it be better to ask the Emperor about this? But subconsciously, she felt that this school was unusual.
You know, studying is related to the status of the literati. If their interests are affected, they will definitely be the first to jump out and refute.
Yin Zhuo also knew it was difficult.
He showed his plan to Tana: "Sixth Brother wants to do something, but this thing may be resisted and insulted by scholars all over the world, but Sixth Brother hopes you can support me."
【Nowadays, the resources for studying are controlled by the upper class. It is said that noble men come from poor families. However, even geniuses cannot make a name for themselves in this era without resources and connections. Because resources and positions are limited, those who can afford to study must at least be from a middle-class family. Once I set this precedent, I am afraid am that those ministers will go crazy.】
After all, those positions are reserved for their descendants. If the school is opened and everyone has the qualifications to go to school, how can they maintain their advantages?
Since ancient times, limited reading resources have been in the hands of the nobles.
After reading it, Tana was completely shocked.
She was just trying to do two things at once: on the one hand, she was reading the plan for building a school given by her Sixth Brother, and on the other hand, she was listening to his thoughts.
In the end, her mind was completely attracted by the things on the paper.
What is this written by Sixth Brother?
He actually wanted the girl to go to school.
Even though Sixth Brother successfully established such a school, whose daughter would dare to go there?
This is simply jumping on the court officials' sore spot.
After all, they often say that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent.
Even if any concubine in the palace committed a minor mistake, she would often be punished by being forced to copy the "Rules for Women".
How can a girl go to school in such an environment?
Tana's lips curled up in a mocking arc. As a princess of the Qing Dynasty, she was bound by these rules and regulations.
He is not even qualified to go out riding a horse.
It is said that women should not show their faces in public.
Sometimes she even wondered if the situation would be better if she went to the grassland, but that was simply impossible.
Many Qing princesses had proved this before her.
Going for a marriage would only make things worse.
Tana's eyes became hot, and then she looked up at her dazed Sixth Brother.
She saw that Sixth Brother's hands were always pinching the corner of his clothes, and she understood that Sixth Brother was also feeling uneasy.
"Sixth brother, your idea is too bold."
Tana felt she had no say.
It's really too difficult.
Even if Sixth Brother insists on having his own way, this school can only exist in theory and there will be no students.
Those noble ministers would unite to resist together, after all, this infringed upon their fundamental interests.
Yin Zhuo knew this would happen: "But..."
【I have seen such a school, where men and women are equal, have the opportunity to go to school together, and listen to the same teacher imparting knowledge in the same classroom. 】
Tana knew that the Sixth Brother was feeling depressed, but he alone could not fight against those ministers in the court.
The emperor can only coax them now, otherwise the whole world will be in chaos.
There are still remnants of anti-Qing and restoration-Ming forces in various places today.
Yin Zhuo took back the paper and wanted to tear it up, but after thinking it over, he put it away and tucked it inside the book.
He felt that this day would not be far away.
Tana felt that Sixth Brother was very sad, so she said, "Sixth Brother, Tana has always supported you."
But unfortunately, she can't even leave the palace freely now.
I have been imprisoned in this Qing Palace for more than ten years.
I have been out only a few times.
Tana's favorite place is the shooting range, because it is a big place and she can ride a fast horse and run freely to vent her dissatisfaction.
Yin Zhuo felt relieved after hearing her words: "Okay, then Sixth Brother would like to ask you to be his female teacher."
Tana immediately became nervous: "No, no, I'm too young to be a teacher."
Yin Zhuo said: "Tana, don't underestimate yourself, you are excellent."
[Your talent is recorded in history books. Even though you died in an accident at the age of 20, many people still know the name of Princess Wenxian.]
Tana's heart was boiling with anger after hearing what Sixth Brother said. Who doesn't want to leave a name in history, even if she is a woman.
Tana's hands were shaking with excitement at this moment, as if she had made up her mind. Then she made a solemn promise to Yin Zhuo: "Sixth brother, please save a place for me."
Yin Zhuo was also excited when he saw that she was no longer opposed to it.
"good."
This is the first step in a long journey. I'll just have to ask the Emperor to take care of the rest.
After Yin Zhuo got the promise, he sent Tana away.
Then he stayed to calm down. Yin Zhuo stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the book containing the schedule for a long time without moving.
The eunuch came in and said, "Master, Doctor Zheng is here to check your recovery."
Yin Zhuo waved at him, and the young eunuch went to call for help.
Doctor Zheng came in and checked on the sixth brother. He was recovering very well and was not in danger of death as long as he did not have a fever. The effect of the cowpox vaccine was surprisingly good.
"Sixth Prince, you are much stronger now."
Doctor Zheng was so happy that he smiled. As long as the Sixth Prince was healthy, he could live a few more years.
Therefore, the Sixth Prince must live well.
Doctor Zheng carefully examined the wound. It was still a little red, but the cut had healed.
Yin Zhuo urged: "You should write down the precautions before vaccination and the situations that will occur after vaccination, and post them so that everyone can have a specific concept, so that they will not be at a loss when the time comes. What if the operation is not done properly and someone dies?"
After all, it is a living life.
Yin Zhuo was accustomed to modern propaganda methods on the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, and when he came to the Grand Mosque, he felt that the information was too isolated.
Emperors of every dynasty hoped that the people would be ignorant, as that would be more conducive to their rule.
The emperor only wants the people to know what they want to convey, nothing else is needed, otherwise it will easily lead to rebellion.
People who are too clear-headed bring chaos.
Doctor Zheng looked serious and thought what the Sixth Prince said made sense. He agreed and found someone to do the job.
After all, the first batch of vaccinations is about to begin, and communicating the symptoms in a concrete way can also reduce panic.
Doctor Zheng thought the Sixth Prince was really smart.
Is this what it means to become a doctor after suffering from an illness for a long time?
The Sixth Prince has finally gotten his reward after suffering so much hardship.
They seem to be much more mature now, which makes Doctor Zheng feel very emotional.
Yin Zhuo didn't expect that his casual remark would cause Doctor Zheng to think so much.
If he could hear what other people were thinking, he would definitely complain, "How could you people in the Qing Dynasty be so secretive?"
What an association.
Yin Zhuo put his clothes in order, then went to the Qianqing Palace with his hands behind his back. The weather was getting hotter and time was running out. He had to do some ideological work for Old Man Kang.
Although the current scientific examination is fair, it still has many drawbacks.
It's very difficult. It's really too difficult.
Yin Zhuo strolled to the Yu Garden, plucked a handful of flowers with his clumsy hands, and then fiddled with them a bit, and a simple bouquet was ready.
Yin Zhuo himself was shocked that he was the one who did this.
It is really beautiful.
The young eunuch who was raising flowers almost cried to death when he came back. He just glanced away and saw that the Sixth Prince had picked all the flowers.
These flowers were specially grown in the greenhouse. The weather was good today, and they thought the emperor would come to feed the fish. The people in their greenhouse have not had much presence for the whole winter, and they were afraid that they would be replaced like the palace maids in the Imperial Household Department and the Imperial Kitchen, so they specially brought all the flower kings out today.
The result is gone.
The Sixth Prince picked them all, and he only picked the big ones.
Yin Zhuo observed for a while and finally nodded. Well, it was not because of his superb skills, but because these flowers were well taken care of.
Yin Zhuo saw the expression on the eunuch Yanghua's face and raised the flowers: "I'll take them to the Emperor."
So Yin Zhuo looked at the little eunuch who had just had a droopy face and immediately smiled widely, as if a flower had bloomed. He said excitedly, "Sixth Prince has a good eye and is very skillful. The emperor will definitely like it."
Go quickly, they are already waiting for the reward.
Originally, the mission of these flowers was to wait for the emperor to come and appreciate them, but now the Sixth Prince's action has directly saved the waiting process.
Yin Zhuo walked towards the Qianqing Palace with full confidence.
He also thought that he had a good eye and was deft with his hands.
With the flowers in his heart, Yin Zhuo strode forward towards the sunshine.
In the study, Kangxi's expression was not so relaxed.
The White Lotus Sect and some anti-Qing and pro-Ming organizations among the people gave Kangxi a lot of headaches.
They are not very powerful, but they are hateful.
They can be seen everywhere, especially those who shout slogans of "overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty".
Kangxi was deeply angry and heartbroken.
The Ming Dynasty had already perished, and although the Qing Dynasty would also go down that path, as a Manchu, he believed that he had treated the common people equally.
He did not ask those women to bind their feet.
I don’t know what’s so good about the Ming Dynasty. Humph, wasn’t it still conquered by the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty?
Qing Chao took Yinzhen to argue with those people for a whole morning, and his mouth was dry, but they just didn't believe it.
After all, there is no actual evidence for this kind of thing. If they admit it, it will be the fault of their poor governance capabilities. If they admit it, aren't they just taking the blame themselves?
Moreover, the White Lotus Sect has expanded to the capital.
The relevant ministers refused to admit it, but they were sweating profusely.
They will conduct a thorough investigation in private when they return.
Kangxi sneered: "Okay, in that case, I will inform you. The eldest prince will investigate this matter, but you must fully cooperate. You should know that I have many capable people under my command."
I would have kept my mouth shut if I had known this.
When everyone heard this, they thought, wouldn’t it have been better if the emperor had said so earlier?
They are afraid that the emperor will blame them.
Alas, the emperor's temper is getting worse and worse.
Why are you still so busy when you are so old?
Yinzhen took everyone away to carry out a series of plans, which would probably take several months.
After all, this is a long-term plan to catch the big fish.
Kangxi just took a sip of tea and said to Yinreng, Yinzhi and Yinqi: "Now you understand how hard it is to be an emperor."
Yinzhi and Yinqi shrank their necks and dared not say anything.
It is not their turn to say anything. After all, if they say something wrong, it would be a heinous crime.
Yinreng was even more afraid, he was now very embarrassed.
After all, Xiaoliu said that the future throne would belong to Laosi.
According to the historical trend, he could not become emperor.
But there was still a lot of time left and he couldn't think that much.
When Kangxi was admonishing the three men, he heard Liang Jiugong say, "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is here."
Kangxi sighed and said, "Let him in quickly. This child has suffered too much injustice."
Kangxi felt distressed.
Now that I know that I have come to find him, I have grown up.
Kangxi was very pleased.
The other three people were all numb. The emperor's attentiveness was really cheap.
Yinreng snorted coldly. Xiaoliu said that the emperor was the best to him, but now his status is falling.
But after seeing Xiaoliu's subsequent actions, Yinreng admitted defeat.
Xiaoliu is really good at handling things.
She even brought a bouquet of flowers.
Kangxi was a little excited.
But after hearing Xiaoliu's thoughts, his face darkened.
[Alas, I never expected that the first bouquet of flowers in my life was not given to a lovely girl, but to a man in his forties. But who is he, my father? ]
Yin Zhuo also felt a little uncomfortable. Sending flowers was indeed a bit reckless, but as the saying goes, he was already here.
At first, Kangxi thought Xiaoliu seemed to be disliking him, but later he laughed.
Xiaoliu is being arrogant.
Yinreng was convinced that this little girl really knew how to please the old man.
Alas, he felt like something that had been abandoned by the Emperor.
Late affection is cheaper than grass.
Before, the Emperor's father cared for him, but he ignored the Emperor's father. Now that the Emperor's father has Xiaoliu, he has been forgotten in the corner.
He also sent flowers. Xiaoliu is really good at that.
Yinzhi and Yinqi were also stunned. This little six really has some skills.
The emperor who had just been reprimanding them with a stern face, now had a worthless smile on his face.
"Is this for me? You are really good at offering flowers to Buddha. You have picked all the flowers. I was planning to go and see them later. But it doesn't matter. I can see them here if you bring them here. It saves me the trouble of making a trip."
Kangxi took the bouquet with great care.
But soon I became alert and thought that something was definitely wrong with this kid.
That’s right, Yin Zhuo just remembered it.
【Oh my, why did I forget before? This old man Kang was not only an emperor, but also a math fan. He could even do calculus. What he liked most was to study math with others. He once wanted to add math to the science exams, but as expected, he was firmly stopped by everyone. What a joke! Those scholars who only know how to read can't handle math. But if you want to reform, if you want to invent new things, all of this is inseparable from math. The biggest mistake of the emperor was that he didn't insist on promoting math, but chose to learn it himself. Why did Confucius become a saint? The emperor couldn't reach the level of Confucius, so he missed a point that people can remember. You have to know that in modern schools, the first two subjects are Chinese and math, which shows the importance of math. 】
Kangxi was stunned. What does this have to do with whether he likes mathematics?
Mathematics was his personal hobby, and he wanted to change it, but those pedantic scholars opposed it.
To be honest, after entering the Pass, Kangxi wanted to abolish the imperial examination system.
Of course, there was still strong resistance.
There is no way. This is the standard for selecting officials passed down by the Han people from ancient times to the present. He cannot interfere too much.
But what Xiaoliu means is that mathematics is very important, right?
For a moment, Kangxi had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and his heart was moved.
Yes, he felt the charm of mathematics, and he wanted to get more people to join in, but he failed.
This time he wanted to do it again.
He has a good grasp of math-related knowledge and has quite a few books on his bookshelf.
He also learned a lot from the foreigners.
Yin Zhuo thought of an interesting idea.
[The Emperor might be able to solve calculus problems, which is better than me. After all, as a liberal arts student, I didn't pay much attention to mathematics, but I found out when I went to college that calculus is something you have to learn! And those geometry problems are said to be Mr. Kang's favorite, but I can't do them. Geometry can confuse people. It's too difficult.]
Kangxi's beard curled up, he can do it!
At this moment, Kangxi seemed to have found a confidant.
It seems that this close friend of mine is not very good at math.
When Yinreng noticed the emperor's shining eyes, he knew that something was wrong.
As expected, Kangxi's tone was somewhat urgent: "What are you doing here, Xiaoliu?"
At this time, Yinreng could guess what the emperor was thinking.
It must be something related to mathematics. Ask me quickly!
Yinreng almost laughed at the picture he imagined in his mind.
Only when facing mathematics can the emperor be so relaxed and have a moment to relax himself.
Yinzhi and Yinqi were both very confused. The Emperor was a math fan, and the questions that Xiaoliu had given to Shisi before almost stumped them.
This is when you start learning math.
It makes me feel dizzy just thinking about it.
They don't have the talent that the emperor has.
They can't wrap their heads around it.
Yin Zhuo held Kangxi's arm and tried to come slowly: "Father Emperor, do you like the flowers I brought you?"
Kangxi was holding his breath the whole time. He originally thought that Xiaoliu would get straight to the point, but it turned out that he planned to use a roundabout tactic.
Kangxi almost suffocated to death.
[Alas, if the emperor had resisted the pressure and included mathematics in the imperial examination, he might have been truly worthy of the name of a saint. What a pity, the title of Emperor Shengzu of the Qing Dynasty is a bit too high after all.]
After so long, Kangxi finally heard his own name.
Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty.
This is a very high evaluation.
But Kangxi was a little puzzled. He knew that generally the first two generations of a founding emperor were called ancestors, like Taizu of the Qing Dynasty and Shizu of the Qing Dynasty, and he, the third generation, should be called the ancestor.
Logically speaking, he should be called Emperor Shengzong of Qing.
But when Kangxi heard the word "holy", he felt a little embarrassed.
It's a bit too high.
You should know that Confucius was called a saint, and he was directly called the Saint Ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, and was as famous as Confucius.
It’s scary big.
His posthumous title and temple name should have been decided by the fourth brother, but how dare he decide on such a grand one?
[The temple title that the fourth brother gave to the emperor was really too grand, but he had no choice at the time. He had to think of all ways to show his filial piety. This requires talking about the background of the fourth brother's succession. At that time, the party closest to the throne was the eighth brother's party. Who knew that the fourth brother would be the one to take the throne in the end? However, the fact that he had the imperial edict did not mean that he could sit back and relax. The power of the reactionaries was very strong. As mentioned before, the fourth brother also had to coax the eighth brother and give him a position so that he and the thirteenth brother could serve as the permanent prime minister and jointly manage the court. ]
[At that time, many people were waiting to catch the fourth brother. The easiest thing was to convict him of a crime by using the name of a dead person. In order to prevent people from finding fault, the fourth brother even changed the shroud for the emperor himself and cried bitterly to express his grief. In the end, in order to show his filial piety, he directly gave his father a temple title with the word "ancestor". This was against common sense, but what was even more exaggerated was that he gave his father the title of "Qing Shengzu". Nowadays, many people still discuss the title of "Shengzu". Everyone has a unified view that Kangxi really did not deserve it.]
Kangxi gritted his teeth. This was truly heartbreaking.
He is also innocent. This is the fourth brother's fault.
Yinreng was also shocked. He never thought that the fourth prince would be forced to such a point. It turned out that even with an imperial decree, it would be difficult to move forward without support.
It is somewhat sad that he, a future emperor, would do such a thing for the sake of status.
Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, this temple is really grand in name.
The fourth child is also very courageous.
To be honest, Yinreng sometimes wondered what temple title his father would choose for him after his death.
But he couldn't say this, otherwise the emperor and others would think he was cursing his father.
Then Xiaoliu's voice made Kangxi dig his toes into the ground.
[By the way, this is the temple name. The full name of the emperor's posthumous title is "He Tian Hong Yun Wen Wu Rui Zhe Gong Jian Kuan Yu Xiao Jing Cheng Xin Gong De Da Cheng Ren Emperor." ]
Yin Zhuo felt a little embarrassed when he recited it. How could he come up with such exaggerated words?
Digging the ground for the emperor's toes.
He felt a little embarrassed while reading it.
Kangxi's face was already flushed.
He wrote posthumous titles for two empresses, which were also a long list of good words.
But when it's my turn, I do feel a little embarrassed.
This old man is really something, he used some good words.
It's not that exaggerated, right?
Kangxi was extremely embarrassed, but what he cared more about was how future generations would judge him.
Alas, he admitted that he was not worthy of the temple title.
According to what Xiaoliu said, can we really gain people's recognition by promoting mathematics?
You have to know that the Han people had pointed at him and scolded him before, saying that this was the law of their ancestors and could not be changed.
Kangxi was a Manchu who entered the country, and since people said this, of course he didn't dare to change it.
There were already cultural differences between the Manchus and the Han people, and he was afraid that he might do something that would touch upon the Han people's taboos.
After all, it is not easy for the Qing Dynasty to maintain the current peace.
Yinreng also felt embarrassed. This fourth brother seemed to be quiet, but he was quite impressive when it came to boasting.
This kind of praise is almost praising the Emperor to the point of being a flower.
He felt his ears burning just by listening to it. Look how happy the emperor is, his tail is almost wagging.
Yinzhi and Yinqi also thought it was exaggerated.
The emperor's temple title can still include the word “ancestor”, but why don't the Han people object at this time?
This probably goes against our ancestors' laws.
What Yinzhi and Yinqi didn't understand was why the Han people had to restrict themselves.
They all know that the country should be governed by propriety, but isn't it uncomfortable to confine themselves to a box?
But the eldest brother didn't say anything about the second brother.
After the Manchus entered the country, they forced people to shave their heads.
Maybe this is the art of emperors.
Seeing that Kangxi was in a good mood, Yin Zhuo thought that he had made him happy by sending flowers.
【Look how happy he is. I'm the one who can make people happy.】
The corner of Kangxi's mouth twitched. He was not happy, but scared.
Well, it's a bit floating actually.
Yin Zhuo was struggling with how to start the conversation.
【Alas, I don't know if Kangxi would agree. The Emperor and Qianlong are quite similar. They were both very diligent in the early days, especially the Emperor. Is it normal for someone who forced himself to read and recite every book 120 times since he was a child? But the two are more similar in their lazy governance in the later days. When they got old, they started to slack off. Maybe this is also the trouble of living a long life. In addition, the Emperor started to study how to cure stupidity in the later days. He used stupidity to educate people, so as to achieve his goal of ruling the Qing Dynasty. The great wisdom in this is incredible when I look back now. He actually turned people into "fools" little by little, and they listened to his teachings and instructions, but he didn't let people notice it. Instead, they felt that their interests were protected. 】
Kangxi: ...
Is this a compliment to him?
But it doesn't feel like a good thing, it feels a bit weird.
Yinreng also admired his father for this.
This is also the reason why the emperor can rest assured.
The great wisdom contained in it is indeed worth learning.
But what made Yinreng feel sad was that Xiaoliu said that the emperor and Qianlong were lazy and negligent in their work.
He was also present when Xiaoliu talked about Qianlong's story before.
After Qianlong, the Qing Dynasty fell into decline.
This may be the hidden danger left over from that time.
