Chapter 76 The 76th Day of Wanting to Die
When Yin Zhuo came back to his senses, he realized that he had been going off track, and he quickly pulled himself back.
He came here for serious business.
Kangxi listened attentively, trying hard to forget what had just been said, especially his temple name and posthumous title.
Yin Zhuo coughed, then covered his chest and began to act.
"Your Majesty, I dreamed that I was taking classes in a place called a school. Then someone told me that I would not live long. If I wanted to survive, I had to build a school according to the specifications in my dream."
“And it’s coeducational!”
"This is outrageous. How could that person have such an idea? How can a girl go to school?!"
[Pah, ah, ah, what bullshit, just do it! ]
The corner of Kangxi's mouth twitched. What Xiaoliu said was different from what he thought in his heart. He even scolded himself. It was so funny.
For the sake of acting, Yin Zhuo had no choice but to do this.
Yinreng's face was almost distorted from trying so hard to hold back his laughter.
Why is Xiaoliu such a dramatic person?
It made me laugh to death.
Not to mention Yinzhi and Yinqi, they couldn't even suppress the curve of their mouth corners.
But what everyone found funny was that Xiaoliu said one thing and meant another, and no one was optimistic about the school he described.
Just kidding, Kangxi couldn't even change the imperial examination system at the beginning, let alone open a school, let alone allow girls to attend. The ministers will be furious.
There will definitely be resistance among the people.
After all, a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent, which has been passed down since ancient times.
Therefore, a primary school student may open a private school or a school, but it is impossible to allow girls to go to school.
Even Kangxi could not allow the princesses and princes to sit in the Shangshufang to study together.
It's not that he doesn't allow it, it's the minister's problem.
Princesses in the Qing Dynasty were all used for marriage alliances.
After all, Mongolia is also a part of the Qing Dynasty, and the stability of Mongolia is the stability of the Qing Dynasty. Kangxi also needs the help of various Mongolian factions to get rid of Galdan.
Kangxi pondered for a moment, then said, "Xiao Liu, you are right. This is indeed against the laws of our ancestors."
Yin Zhuo choked.
"Are you talking about girls going to school?"
Kangxi nodded and said, "Yes, since ancient times, there has never been a tradition of boys and girls going to school together, let alone boys and girls sitting separately at the age of seven. This is totally unreasonable. Xiaoliu, either the emperor father disagrees or even if the emperor father agrees, it will be useless."
Kangxi had his own helplessness.
Yin Zhuo sighed: "In that case, I will die."
[No, I can't die like this.]
Yin Zhuo narrowed his eyes. You don't agree, right?
Okay, then he doesn't believe it.
Yin Zhuo glanced at Yinreng, then said pitifully, "Alas, Xiaoliu has been feeling anxious ever since he had this dream. I'm afraid he won't live long. Your Majesty, please agree to my request. As long as your Majesty agrees, I will take care of the rest. I just hope that my second brother and other brothers can help Xiaoliu."
Yin Zhuo covered his chest, his voice was floating, and he leaned weakly on the back of the chair, as if he was going to die in the next second.
Kangxi frowned, "Xiao Liu, it's not that the Emperor disagrees, but the Emperor can't let you go to the point where spit on you. As for this dream, I will go to the master... Ahem, dreams are fake, those gods and ghosts are not to be trusted. You are still young, and these things are all illusions. Don't you know about the White Lotus Sect? They use these to deceive people. So there are no gods and ghosts in this world. And with the Emperor here, what are you afraid of? The Emperor is the real dragon emperor. As long as you are by the Emperor's side, I guarantee that no one dares to hurt you."
Kangxi almost said the wrong thing and broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
For the sake of Xiaoliu, he didn't even dare to mention the temple, and Concubine De also took away the Buddha statue, for fear that it would collide with Xiaoliu and affect his life.
No matter how Xiaoliu got better, in Kangxi's heart, he is his Xiaoliu.
He doesn't care about anything else.
Anyway, he has a long life, and as long as he is alive, he will protect Xiaoliu.
Now Kangxi felt that he had only lived for over sixty years and it was not enough. Forget it, Xiaoliu would be protected by other brothers when the time came, and he would issue an imperial decree to have people protect him.
Although he was not so reassured, he did not want Xiaoliu to walk ahead of him.
He doesn't want to see the old send off the young again.
Suddenly, Kangxi felt a pain in his heart. That's right, Baocheng should still be in prison when he died.
That's good, that's good. Kangxi can put his mind at ease as long as Baocheng is still alive.
He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if Baocheng and Xiaoliu walked in front of him. He was afraid that he would go crazy.
Yin Zhuo was really impressed.
How can the emperor say that?
[Sure enough, the Emperor doesn't love me, and doesn't even care if I die. I've made up my mind that I'll only live for a little over a month. If any minister dares to oppose me, I'll hang myself at his doorstep that very day.]
Yinreng's hands trembled and his eyes widened involuntarily. What did Xiaoliu say?
To be honest, Yinreng read a lot of books, but he had never seen anyone as crazy as Xiaoliu even in the story books.
He even doubted his own hearing. Xiaoliu said that if anyone objected, they would just hang themselves at the door of his house?
How did this mind come to this point?
It's totally off the mark.
Kangxi's heart sank. Xiaoliu could actually do such a thing.
He now wondered if Xiaoliu would have hung himself at the gate of the Qianqing Palace that night if he had refused.
Kangxi felt heartbroken whenever he thought about that scene.
No, isn't Xiaoliu's desire to die much better now?
Why are you talking about life and death again?
Xiaoliu survived the vaccination against smallpox, so Kangxi absolutely did not believe that anything would happen to Xiaoliu a month later.
This must be Xiaoliu's illusion.
But Kangxi didn't dare to think too much, what if...
What if Xiaoliu reached some agreement with something, which led to the current situation?
Kangxi didn't dare to gamble, and he wouldn't gamble with Xiaoliu's life.
Kangxi wanted to speak, but Yinreng spoke first: "Xiaoliu, Second Brother supports you."
Yinreng's life trajectory from childhood to adulthood was controlled by Kangxi, so much so that he suppressed all his unorthodox ideas in his heart.
He felt that being imprisoned for his entire life was a good thing for him and for the Qing Dynasty.
He had no idea what crazy things he would do after Kangxi's death, after being suppressed for more than 40 years.
Now that Xiaoliu is so brave, there is nothing he dare not do.
Kangxi glared and gave Baocheng a cold look. Xiaoliu hadn't been appeased yet, and here came another troublemaker. This made him look like a bad father.
Yin Zhuo was deeply moved: "Wuwuwu, second brother is still the best. You can be the teacher. Fifth sister also agrees to be the teacher."
Kangxi: "What is Tana doing here?"
Yin Zhuo said unconvincedly: "Why can't Tana be the teacher? Tana is also very powerful. I also want to invite Fourth Sister to come."
【The fourth princess is the famous Princess Gulungejing in history, also known as Princess Haibang. She will be sent to Mongolia to marry in two years. Haibang is a homophone, which means counselor in Manchu. As soon as this word comes out, you can know how powerful the fourth sister is. After all, princesses who married into the country had a miserable life. But the fourth sister is different. She can be counted among the famous women in the Qing Dynasty. After all, she made great efforts to make all Mongolia submit to the Qing Dynasty and completed the unification of the Qing Dynasty.】
[But unfortunately, after the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the part of Outer Mongolia that was close to Tsarist Russia still declared independence. Those people may have been waiting for the demise of the Qing Dynasty to become an independent country. The most amazing thing about the fourth sister is that Outer Mongolia had just been annexed and was not stable at that time, but she regarded herself as a link, connecting the Manchus and the Mongols, and truly realized the Qing Dynasty's right to supervise Outer Mongolia. It was a real unification. Moreover, she allowed Mongolia to trade with the mainland and promoted economic development. The most important thing is that the fourth sister was able to participate in politics! This is something that many people in history could not do. She married to Mongolia and actually did it. She is definitely a strong woman and a popular figure in the Qing Dynasty fan fiction. After all, her life is too legendary. 】
Yinqi was the most shocked. After all, his mother and his fourth sister's mother were biological sisters.
The fourth sister is the sixth daughter of the emperor. Unfortunately, her two older sisters died young, so her rank is four.
When it comes to the number four, Yinqi thinks of his fourth brother.
No, are all of you who are number four so powerful?
This is a natural born politician.
Why did the Qing Dynasty want to marry a princess to the emperor? Wasn't it because Mongolia's submission had not been resolved?
Outer Mongolia is even more difficult to deal with, as there is also Galdan causing trouble.
At present, great unification has not yet been achieved. Yinqi never expected that after his fourth sister got married, the sense of belonging to Outer Mongolia would be strengthened.
But this affiliation should have lasted only a hundred years or so, after all, the Qing Dynasty was about to fall.
And as Xiaoliu said, Outer Mongolia actually declared an independent country with the help of Tsarist Russia.
Oh, traitor.
Yinqi clenched his fists. This was treason.
But what could he do? The Qing Dynasty was gone.
The royal garden could be burned down in broad daylight. No wonder Outer Mongolia wanted to be independent. The Qing Dynasty was indeed a bit decadent.
There's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
But Yinqi still has to say that the fourth sister is too low-key.
But Yinqi hadn't seen his fourth sister for a long time.
After he left the palace and built his own residence, he would at most go back to Ciren Palace and Yikun Palace to visit the Crown Princess and Empress Dowager.
The only place to meet my fourth sister is at Ciren Palace.
Yinqi now feels that Xiaoliu is right. Why is there such discrimination against women?
Not allowing girls to go to school?
Does the stability of the Qing Dynasty's borders depend on these princess sisters?
What efforts did those ministers make?
Kangxi also felt dissatisfied. He believed that the stability of the Qing Dynasty was gained by marrying his daughter to Mongolia for marriage. What did it have to do with those ministers who kept saying that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent.
What's even more horrifying is that women were forced to bind their feet.
If he had not given the order at the time, his daughter would probably have been poisoned, and then married to Mongolia. The living conditions there were so harsh that she would have had trouble walking. She would have completely lost the ability to resist and become a burden.
Wouldn't this make Mongolia look down on the Qing Dynasty even more?
But Kangxi was more surprised by Xiaoliu's evaluation of Ge Jingde.
It seems that Ge Jing has made his name in history.
Kangxi couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
He couldn't bear to part with his daughters, he had no choice.
Galdan alone is giving him enough headaches now. He dare not imagine what the scene will be like if the whole of Mongolia falls into chaos.
Kangxi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agree, but don't let Tana go yet."
In fact, Kangxi was worried that there would not be enough students for the sixth grade.
Who would dare to send their daughter over there?
Kangxi sighed in worry: "Ah, you guys..."
Yin Zhuo got what he wanted and took out the plan he had written: "Father, please give it to me for reference."
Kangxi snorted coldly. You just gave me back my things, but now you start to act like a subject to me.
This kid holds a grudge.
But Kangxi was also very curious, so he took it and Yinreng also came over to take a look.
In fact, he was quite ashamed just now. He didn't expect that his four sisters were so amazing. In comparison, he had not achieved much.
After being a crown prince for so many years, what has he become?
Yinreng had mixed feelings.
But her admiration for the fourth sister reached its peak, and she began to respect the other princesses as well.
To be honest, Yinreng didn't pay attention to this matter before, but now he understands that the stability of the Qing Dynasty is inseparable from the contributions of several princesses.
They spent their entire lives safeguarding the peace of the Qing Dynasty.
Yinreng felt very ashamed.
Yinqi and Yinzhi also had the same idea, compared with the princesses who were married to foreign countries.
These princes are all focused on seizing the throne.
In the end, it ended up like that, which makes people blush just thinking about it.
They used to think that they had a bad ending and were worried, but now they think it was what they deserved.
If they had achieved something that earned everyone's respect, they wouldn't have ended up in the situation that happened later.
Yin Zhuo's plan was good, but Kangxi still expressed his concerns: "Where do you get these students from? And what does this vocational school mean?"
Yin Zhuo said slowly: "It is like this, I plan to develop a group of talents for the imperial examinations, but there are definitely some people who are not suitable for the imperial examinations, so I decided to train them in professional skills, such as doctors, chefs, etc."
[I still have a lot of snacks that I haven’t taken out yet, such as pancakes, grilled cold noodles, and fried steak...]
Yin Zhuo drooled at the thought.
[And they can also develop the express delivery business. After all, Mr. Kang still has a big hole to fill, those Eight Banners children who have been raised uselessly. This is better than begging. ]
Kangxi touched his nose a little embarrassedly, and almost forgot about them.
He had someone investigate and found that the Eight Banners descendants did have some difficulties in life.
The large number of stranded workers has also added a lot of trouble to public security.
Yin Zhuo continued, "As for the source of students, we can first select them from the Salesian Bureau, regardless of gender."
Kangxi paused, looked up at Xiaoliu in surprise and said, "Why do you want to choose from the Children's Affairs Bureau?"
Yin Zhuo said angrily: "Where else can we find students if not from the Charity Bureau? Those scholars would not look down on this shabby school of mine."
[If they don’t write poems and scold me at the door in the end, I will thank God and the earth, Amitabha! ]
Yin Zhuo was thick-skinned and had already imagined what would happen next.
Yinreng couldn't help but remind her: "Xiaoliu, you should know that your actions have directly disrupted the current balance. Those ministers will definitely find trouble with you."
Yin Zhuo raised his little face, his face not red and his heart not beating, and said directly and frankly: "Look for it if you want, this world belongs to the emperor, I don't believe he dares to make a move on me, I am the emperor's sixth child, the second brother's younger brother!"
Yin Zhuo said flatteringly.
Yinreng's mouth twitched, and then he held his forehead helplessly: "Forget it."
He knew Xiaoliu would say that.
In order to prevent Xiaoliu from being hanged in someone else's house, he should help him avoid this disaster.
In this case, Yinreng spoke directly: "It just so happens that cowpox vaccination is now free, everyone is very appreciative of Xiaoliu, and Xiaoliu has a place in the hearts of the people. Why don't I speak up tomorrow and mention this matter in the court, with the excuse of praying for Xiaoliu. After all, everyone knows that the Sixth Prince in the Forbidden City has been weak since childhood. Let's use this method to see everyone's attitude."
Yin Zhuo was almost moved to tears.
"Wuwuwu, second brother you are so nice, you are my real brother."
Yin Zhuo was almost hugging his thigh, but Yinreng patted his shoulder unhappily after hearing this and said, "When did I not become your real brother?"
Yin Zhuo chuckled.
[Although the second brother was a bit crazy in the later period, he is still very normal now and is a good brother. ]
He was going crazy, almost driven crazy by Xiaoliu. What kind of person was that? He had helped Xiaoliu, but he still said that about him in his heart.
He has always been normal.
But Yinreng knew that there was a dark side in his heart, but he had to suppress it.
He now has the motivation to face the sun.
Yinzhi and Yinqi also echoed: "We support our second brother's approach."
Seeing that they all said so, Kangxi also interrupted and said, "Okay, I will try to reform the imperial examination system. Mathematics must be included in the imperial examination system."
Yin Zhuo immediately raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty is right. However, there is only one imperial examination every three years, and only a few hundred people each time, which is too few. It would be better to have more junior college examinations so that those who have no hope of getting into high school can also realize their own life value. For example, farmers have their own way of farming. There are also accounting, criminal investigation, civil engineering, etc. The Qing Dynasty is in need of them now. There are 360 professions, and each of them has its own top scholar. Moreover, spring comes when all flowers bloom together."
Kangxi pondered for a moment and thought Xiaoliu's idea was very good.
Specialization in one's field will lead to better development.
One Xiaoliu is not enough, but if Xiaoliu can cultivate more Xiaolius, the hope of the Qing Dynasty becoming stronger will increase a little.
Seeing Kangxi's silence, Yin Zhuo added, "This is just an example. Your Majesty can discuss it further."
Kangxi waved his hands and said, "I understand."
Seeing that he took the matter to heart, Yin Zhuo felt a little relieved.
This is a good start.
During lunch, Kangxi felt uneasy and regretful.
Alas, why did he agree to it? Tomorrow's court will definitely be as chaotic as a vegetable market again.
He could even imagine himself arguing with his sons and the ministers.
Headache.
If Xiaoliu had not just been vaccinated against smallpox, he would have felt sorry for him and wanted to take Xiaoliu to court with him.
The root of the trouble lies with Xiaoliu.
After lunch, Yin Zhuo secretly went to talk to Yinreng: "Second brother, after you leave the court tomorrow, tell me who is the most opposed."
Yinreng looked down at him and saw Xiaoliu raising an eyebrow at him in an inappropriate manner.
Yinreng was silent, then said: "Don't make faces, I told you, what are you going to do?"
Yin Zhuo rolled up his sleeves and said with gritted teeth, "Of course I have to punish him."
Yinreng looked at his thin body and couldn't help laughing: "You are so weak, who can you fight? You will be knocked down with one punch."
Of course Yinreng was joking. After all, no one had the courage to attack the Sixth Prince of the Qing Dynasty.
Yin Zhuo rescued his little bald head, and then thought of something.
He swallowed his saliva, prepared to run at any time, and couldn't help but say something mean: "Second brother, have you ever thought that our hairstyle is quite ugly, especially you, such a handsome guy, but with a pigtail, you will immediately become as ugly as the emperor."
Yinreng's face changed and he wanted to grab Xiaoliu, but the person had already escaped.
"Ahhh I'm leaving."
Yin Zhuo regretted his words immediately after he finished speaking. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and had been observing his second brother's expression, so he ran away without being caught.
Kangxi came over curiously: "What's wrong?"
Just after I asked, I heard the voice of Xiaoliu walking away.
[Compared like this, the two really are father and son. Their braids are in the same place and are about the same length. Could it be that the cunning Kangxi deliberately had someone do this so that he and Yinreng would have the same length of braids? Tsk tsk, they are indeed father and son, so ugly.]
Kangxi's face turned green.
Yinreng's face turned even greener. What nonsense is this?
Xiaoliu is so bad.
What is he thinking about every day? He just wanted to help Xiaoliu, but this is the result he gets.
Yinzhi and Yinqi tried hard to reduce their presence.
I didn’t know what happened there, but I saw Xiaoliu suddenly run out, and then I heard Xiaoliu complaining.
Xiaoliu's vision has been abnormal since he fell ill. What's ugly about this?
Their braids are similar.
But the two of them still secretly looked forward, and hey, there was indeed a new discovery.
This Xiaoliu has really sharp eyes.
They are actually the same length.
Both Yinreng and Kangxi were a little annoyed.
Kangxi really thought Xiaoliu was overthinking it, he didn't even know about this.
Besides, Baocheng was brought up by him, so it's normal for him to have some of his shadow.
Kangxi raised his lips and said to Yinreng and the others, "Okay, you all go back. I need to rest."
After saying this, Kangxi glanced at Yinreng triumphantly, then turned and left.
Yinreng was speechless. What did the emperor's look mean?
Forget it, he should first study what the rules and regulations of this school are.
Yinreng had already dismissed all his staff, and now he was asked to write the memorial to the court tomorrow himself.
Yinzhi and Yinqi also went back to make preparations.
After all, they are really useless, and this is the only way to help Xiaoliu.
Yinreng felt that what Xiaoliu said about his fourth sister today should be repeated in the Shangshufang so that his younger brothers, who were all bruised and bloodied, could hear it.
You guys fought so hard, but in the end you still couldn't do as well as Fourth Sister.
It is right that later generations praise her.
Maybe, I can get her in this time.
Yinreng always acted politely when interacting with his brothers and sisters.
We're not that close now, but this school incident is a good opportunity.
After all, it takes all of them working together to accomplish this.
Kangxi took a short nap and then woke up.
All I could think about was Outer Mongolia declaring independence after the demise of the Qing Dynasty.
No one knows how much he worried about Mongolia, but he turned out to be treacherous. When the Qing Dynasty encountered problems, he thought about independence and even became dependent on Tsarist Russia.
For Kangxi, he could not accept this.
But that happened a hundred or two hundred years later, and there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, the Qing Dynasty was already in chaos at that time.
It's hard for Ge Jing to do so much.
Suddenly, Kangxi had an idea.
He sat up. Since Xiaoliu said he wanted to open a coeducational school, why not start with the Shangshufang?
Then, in the afternoon, a piece of news shocked the Forbidden City.
Kangxi actually asked the princesses to go to the Shangshufang to attend classes together.
Tana and Urina originally had classes scheduled for today, but now they are at a loss as to what to do.
The Study Room is where Fourteen goes to class.
Even though they are princesses, they can't get close to them.
After all, the harem cannot participate in politics, and these princesses are going to marry outside the country, and they will not be allowed to learn how to serve the country and the king.
When Yin Zhuo woke up and heard this, he was also shocked. The emperor's action was too quick.
Moreover, Yin Zhuo even forgot about going to the Shangshufang.
Yinzhen's face turned green when he heard the news. It was fine that he had a sixth brother, but why did his two sisters now want to come and stay with him in the Shangshufang?
Yinzhen deliberately didn't think about his sixth brother today, because when he thought of his sixth brother, he thought of those difficult problems, and when he thought of those difficult problems, he felt like vomiting.
In order not to feel bad alone, he circulated the questions in the Shangshufang in the name of his sixth brother.
This made the bachelor a little unhappy.
After all, mathematics has nothing to do with our schedule.
But he didn't say anything either.
He would not even report this to Kangxi, he would just pretend he didn't see it, because the emperor was a math fan, if he told him this, he might get very excited.
By then, I'm afraid the Shangshufang will have to arrange another math class.
The emperor compiled a book on mathematics based on ancient books.
Yinsi, Yinlu, and Yin'e were so exhausted after being tortured by mathematics for the whole morning that they thought they were hallucinating when they heard the emperor's order in the afternoon.
"Old Ten, I seem to have become stupid from studying math."
Yinzhen said nervously.
It's all Fourteen's fault!
No wonder I came to find them today, just to torture them and let them experience my pain.
But Yinsi still felt quite sympathetic towards Fourteenth Prince. It was quite depressing just thinking about how he had to be forced by his Sixth Brother to do homework after being vaccinated against cowpox.
But Fourteenth's health should be better now, and he even looks a little fatter. After all, he was the child who grew up in front of him, and Yinsi knew Yinzhen quite well.
The little brat actually looked at him with a hint of guilt today.
This made Yinsi a little curious about what Fourteenth Brother had heard from Sixth Brother?
Before, the little guy avoided me like a snake.
Otherwise, the relationship between the two people will be very good in the future.
Fourteen can't leave himself?
Yinsi did not stop him from showing goodwill, after all, they were all brothers.
Now he heard Lao Jiu's silly speech and said unhappily, "You heard it right. The Emperor did ask the princesses to go to the Shangshufang with us for classes."
Yinzhen's eyes widened: "What's wrong with the Emperor?"
Is this in accordance with the rules?
Seeing that Yin'er was about to say something outrageous again, Yinsi said quickly, "The Emperor must have their own intentions, and the fourth and fifth sisters are also very good. Old Nine, be careful with your words."
Yinsi was a thoughtful person and naturally knew that the two people were extremely talented.
Their only drawback is that they are women.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be outshined by these people.
Yin'e and Yin'er looked at each other.
Oh, I suddenly feel a sense of urgency.
I will be outdone by my sisters then...
It's so embarrassing.
But the thing is, they have nothing to do with each other.
If the ministers in the court heard about this, they would definitely be furious.
You know what, I really want to see their reactions.
