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 everyone 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 hanged 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.
要不是他當初下令,恐怕他的女兒也要遭到毒害,到時候再嫁到蒙古,那裏的條件坎坷,恐怕行走都成問題,完全失去了反抗的能力,還成了累贅。
這不是讓蒙古更看不起大清嗎?
但康熙更驚訝的是小六對于格靖得評價。
看樣子,格靖做到了青史留名。
康熙心裏說不上來是什麽感覺。
對于幾個女兒他都是不舍的,他沒辦法。
現在一個噶爾丹都讓他頭痛不已了要是整個蒙古亂起來,他不敢想象是什麽畫面。
康熙咬牙:“行,朕同意了,但塔娜先別讓她去。”
其實康熙都擔心小六招不到學生。
誰家敢把閨女送過去啊。
康熙愁的直嘆氣:“唉,你們啊……”
尹灼如願了,直接把自己寫的那個計劃書拿了出來:“皇阿瑪給兒臣參考一下。”
康熙冷哼一聲,剛剛還我我的呢,現在就開始兒臣了。
這小子記仇呢。
但康熙也挺好奇的,他拿了過來,胤礽也湊過去看。
其實他剛剛挺汗顏的,沒想到四妹妹都那麽厲害,相比之下,他倒沒什麽成就。
當了這麽多年的太子,成了什麽?
胤礽心中百感交集。
但對四妹妹的佩服達到了頂峰,對其他幾位公主也尊敬了起來。
說實話,胤礽之前是不關注這事的,但現在才明白大清的穩定離不開幾位公主的付出。
她們用自己的一生在守護着大清的和平。
胤礽覺得自己十分慚愧。
胤祺和胤祉也有這樣的想法,跟和親公主相比。
他們這些阿哥都把心思用在奪嫡上了。
最後還落得了那般下場,讓人想想就臉紅。
他們之前還覺得自己下場不好,惴惴不安呢,現在想想就是應得的。
但凡他們有一個成就贏得大家的尊重也不至于到後面那個局面。
尹灼計劃的很好,但康熙還是說出了自己的擔憂:“你這個生源從哪裏來?而且這職專是什麽意思?”
尹灼徐徐道來:“是這樣的,兒臣打算發展一批科舉人才,但肯定也有一些人是不适合科舉的所以兒臣決定給他們培養一下專業技能,就比如禦醫、廚師等等。”
【我這可是還有很多小吃沒拿出來呢,煎餅果子、烤冷面、炸牛排……】
尹灼想想就流口水。
【而且還可以發展快遞業,畢竟康老爺子還有一個大坑沒填上呢,那些被養廢了的的八旗子弟們,這些總比去乞讨強吧。】
康熙有點不好意思的摸了摸鼻子,差點把他們給忘了。
他讓人調查過了,八旗子弟确實生活有些困難。
大量的勞動力滞留,還給治安增添了不少麻煩。
尹灼又接着道:“生源的話就先從慈幼局裏挑,男女不限。”
康熙手上的動作一頓,擡頭詫異的看着小六:“你為什麽想要從慈幼局裏面挑呢?”
尹灼沒好氣的道:“那不從慈幼局裏面挑從哪裏找學生呢?那些讀書人也看不上我這個破學校啊。”
【他們最後不寫詩在門口罵我,我就謝天謝地,阿彌陀佛了!】
尹灼臉皮厚,已經聯想到了之後的畫面。
胤礽沒忍住提醒了一句:“小六,你要知道,你這個做法,直接打破了現在的平衡,那些大臣們肯定會找你事的。”
尹灼仰着小臉,臉不紅心不跳,直接坦然的道:“找就找呗,這天下是皇阿瑪的,我還不信他敢對我動手,我可是皇阿瑪的小六,二哥的弟弟啊!”
尹灼谄媚的道。
胤礽嘴角抽了一下,然後無奈扶額:“算了。”
他就知道小六會這麽說。
以免小六去別人家吊死,他還是幫他擋這一劫吧。
既然如此,胤礽直接開口道:“正好現在牛痘正在免費接種,大家對小六都很贊賞,在老百姓心中也有了小六的位置,不如明日就有我開口,在朝堂上提及此事,由頭就是為小六祈福。畢竟大家都知道紫禁城裏的六阿哥身子骨從小就弱,用這種法子,看看大家的态度吧。”
尹灼都快感動哭了。
“嗚嗚嗚,二哥你真好,你就是我親哥。”
尹灼就差抱大腿了,胤礽聽完沒好氣的拍了一下他的肩膀:“孤什麽時候不是你親哥了?”
尹灼嘿嘿一笑。
【雖然說二哥後期比較瘋,但現在還是很正常的嘛,是個好哥哥。】
他是要瘋了,快被小六給氣瘋了,什麽人吶,他都幫小六了,還要在心裏這麽說他。
他一直都很正常。
但胤礽知道自己心裏存在着陰暗的一面,但這一面還是一直壓下去吧。
他現在有了向陽的動力。
胤祉和胤祺也附和的道:“我們支持二哥的做法。”
康熙見他們都這麽說了,也插嘴了一句:“行,朕才嘗試嘗試一下科舉改革的事,那數學必須要加到科舉裏面去。”
尹灼立馬舉手:“皇阿瑪說的太對了,但每三年才有一次科舉,一次才幾百人太少了,不如多來幾次專科考試,讓那些高中無望的人也能實現自己的人生價值,就比如那農民種地也有種地的講究,還有會計刑偵土木等等這些,大清現在缺着呢,三百六十行,行行出狀元,而且百花齊放才是春。”
康熙沉思片刻,覺得小六這個法子很好。
術業有專攻,這樣才能更好的發展。
一個小六是捉襟見肘的,但小六要培養出更多的小六的話,那大清強大起來的希望又多了幾分。
尹灼見康熙沉默,補充道:“兒臣這都是舉例子,皇阿瑪可以再商議一下。”
康熙擺了擺手:“朕知道了。”
尹灼見他把這事放到了心上,整個人都輕松了一些。
這也算是有一個良好的開端吧。
用午膳的時候,康熙的心都不平靜,而是有些後悔。
唉,他怎麽就答應了呢,明天上朝肯定又亂成菜市場了。
他都能想象自己跟兒子們舌戰群臣的畫面了。
頭疼。
要不是小六剛接種過牛痘,他心疼他,不然他都想把小六給一起拉去上朝算了。
禍根可是在小六這。
尹灼用完午膳,還偷偷的去跟胤礽說了些悄悄話:“二哥,你明天下朝之後,跟我說說誰反對的最厲害。”
胤礽低頭看他,就看到小六不倫不類的給自己挑了一個眉。
胤礽沉默,然後才道:“別擠眉弄眼的,告訴你了,你要做什麽?”
尹灼捋了捋袖子,咬牙痛恨的道:“我當然要去治他。”
胤礽看着他瘦弱的身體,沒忍住笑出了聲:“你這身子骨能治誰,別人一拳給你打爬下。”
當然胤礽是在說笑,畢竟沒有人有膽子敢對大清的六阿哥動手。
尹灼把自己的小光頭給拯救出來,然後想到了什麽。
他咽了咽口水,做好随時跑的準備,沒忍住嘴賤的說了一句:“二哥你有沒有想過,就咱們這發型挺醜的,尤其是你,多帥的一個小夥子啊,結果留個尾巴辮,馬上就跟皇阿瑪一樣醜了。”
胤礽臉色一變,想要揪住小六,結果人已經竄出去了。
“啊啊啊我走了。”
尹灼嘴賤完就後悔了,幸好他眼疾手快,一直在觀察二哥的臉色,沒被抓住直接跑開了。
康熙好奇的過來:“怎麽了?”
剛問完,就聽到小六走遠了的心聲傳了過來。
【這麽一對比,倆人還真是親父子啊,尾巴辮都在一個地方,長度還差不多,這不會是詭計多端的康熙故意讓人這樣弄得吧,就是為了跟胤礽留一樣長的辮子,啧啧,不愧是父子,醜死了。】
康熙臉綠了。
胤礽臉更綠,這又是什麽有的沒的!
小六太壞了。
腦袋裏天天想的啥,他剛剛還想幫小六呢,結果就是這麽回報他的。
胤祉和胤祺努力降低自己的存在感。
不知道那邊發生了什麽,就看到小六一下子就竄出去了,然後就聽到了小六的吐槽。
小六生病之後眼光也不正常了,這哪裏醜了?
他們辮子都差不多吧。
但兩個人還是偷偷的朝前面看了看,嘶,果然有新發現。
這小六的眼睛可真精啊。
竟然還真是一樣長的。
胤礽和康熙都有些麻了。
康熙真覺得小六想多了,他都不知道這事。
而且保成是他一手帶大的,身上有點他的影子也很正常。
康熙嘴角勾起,對胤礽他們道:“行了,你們都回去吧,朕要休息了。”
說完,康熙就得意的瞅了一眼胤礽,然後轉身離開了。
胤礽有些無語,皇阿瑪那個眼神是什麽意思啊?
算了,他先去研究一下這個學校到底是什麽章程?
胤礽之前就把自己的幕僚都給遣散了,現在還要他親自動手來寫明日上朝的折子。
胤祉和胤祺也回去做準備了。
畢竟他們真的挺沒用的,只能用這種法子來幫幫小六了。
胤礽倒是覺得今天小六說四妹妹這話應該去尚書房再說一遍,讓那些都得頭破血流的弟弟們聽聽。
你們鬥的昏天黑地的,結果還沒有四妹妹做的好。
後世誇贊她是應該的。
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.
