Chapter 99: The 99th Day of Wanting to Die
Yin Zhuo was surprised: "Fourth sister and Tana are also going to work?"
Good fellow, he is the only idle person in the whole Qing Palace.
Yin Zhuo took a bite of chocolate and felt a little embarrassed.
But he asked in a mean way, "Father Emperor, aren't you afraid of the ministers' objection if you send Fourth Sister and Tana to the trial? Before, they would scold those sour Confucianists whenever they went to the Shangshufang, but this time they are directly looking for trouble with them, tut tut."
Yin Zhuo clicked his tongue twice, wanting to see how Kangxi would respond.
Kangxi was not a pedantic person; he was very receptive to foreign cultures.
Otherwise, Han culture wouldn't be promoted so much.
Although he has been criticized by many later generations, among all the emperors of the Qing Dynasty or the past five thousand years, Kangxi can be ranked in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Kangxi liked to hear Xiaoliu praise him. He snorted and said, "I am almost exhausted. Forget about you doing the work. If they continue to say something bad about my daughter helping me with the work, I will directly put them in jail. Anyway, what I did today has already angered them. After they react, they will write a long article to scold me again."
Kangxi even had a sense of self-mockery.
Being scolded now is better than being scolded and robbed after death. Thinking of this, Kangxi felt relieved.
It is true that if you look at something from a different angle, you will have a different mood. Now he is the one being scolded, but hundreds of years later, the one being scolded will be the one who scolded him.
This is cause and effect.
Kangxi rubbed Xiaoliu's head, took out a piece of chocolate from his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, then said, "Okay, let's go. I wonder if they encountered any difficulties?"
As the father, Kangxi was still somewhat worried.
Yin Zhuo packed a paper box filled with white chocolate and would take it to his older sister and younger sister later.
"Let's go."
Yin Zhuo had never left the palace so late before, or to put it another way, he had never seen the entire palace still brightly lit at this time.
It's really a bit novel.
Kangxi asked someone to prepare a car.
The road was brightly lit, everyone was at their posts, and the air was filled with the aroma of food.
The canteen distributed meals to those who had not left yet.
But at this moment, no one was in the mood to eat and they just wanted to leave.
But the emperor refused to give in, so they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.
They could only look at each other and sigh. Those who came back said nothing, their legs shaking with fear.
They only got a glimpse of the situation.
This incident was caused by foreigners.
They remembered that the foreigners had just sent something to the emperor in the morning. What on earth could have made the emperor so angry? Not only did he arrest the foreigners, he also wanted to arrest all of them.
It really makes me hard to say what to say.
But what can I do? I have to wait with an empty stomach.
Those who originally thought so found it really delicious after having the meal.
White rice with two pickled mustard greens and two vegetarian dishes.
Wow, the food was quite rich. They had thought that with so many people present they could just give it a try, but they actually got to eat a delicious meal.
Some people felt warm-hearted and nervous at the same time, and were almost driven schizophrenic by the emperor.
Whatever the emperor wants to do, can you please do it quickly?
As a result, while they were waiting to be called, they heard the news that the emperor had left the palace.
Some people couldn't hold back their tears on the spot. What did the emperor mean? Was he going to lock them up here for one night?
He left the palace as soon as he said he would, and no one knew who he was going to see.
But what they didn't expect was that after the emperor left the palace, Eunuch Liang came to call them.
Someone asked, "Eunuch Liang, the emperor is not here, where are we going?"
Liang Jiugong saw that it was not easy for them either, so he let out a hint: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned you."
The ministers looked at each other, and then felt relieved. It was better to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince than to meet the Emperor.
But they thought too much. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not friendly to them, the old ministers.
I used to curry favor with them, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs support.
As the brothers grow older and gradually get involved in political affairs, there will definitely be someone who can attract the emperor's attention more than him, distracting the emperor's attention from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
But recently these people have been like crazy, the five conjoined twins go everywhere together, sometimes they can even chat and laugh, and discuss things together.
Strange, strange, very strange.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was stern, he let them go back after asking them about some situations.
They were so curious.
What on earth happened?
Ask them if they smoke?
What does this have to do with foreigners?
I don't understand why the emperor wants to make such a big fuss.
Does this mean that everyone should stop smoking?
They don't smoke either.
Everyone was bewildered when they were told they could go home, and they were still a little dazed after leaving the palace.
The emperor's heart is indeed as dark as the sea.
I can’t figure it out.
The rest were quicker because those who smoked had already been screened first and all those who were suspected were arrested.
But they were still scared and could only be thankful that they didn't smoke.
Those of them who stayed behind at the end also figured out the pattern: those whom the emperor sent away were all heavy smokers.
It seems that I have to inform my family when I get home. The emperor may step up efforts to ban smoking.
Dali Temple. It was Yin Zhuo’s first time to be here. He looked at it from a distance at night. The gate of Dali Temple had an eerie feeling.
But because Yin Zhuo came here with Kangxi, he was not afraid. Instead, he felt that this place was as solemn and quiet as the gate of the imperial palace.
This represents the laws and justice of the Qing Dynasty.
[Restrictions are indispensable in any era, and the law is the fairest. Unfortunately, the idea of ruling the country by law is not prominent now. How many ordinary people know the laws of the Qing Dynasty? Alas.]
Kangxi slowed down his pace, Xiaoliu said to rule the country according to law?
This was the first time he had heard of this idea.
From ancient times to the present, the monarchy has always been supreme, but it has to be said that this has many disadvantages.
The price paid for mistakes made by powerful and wealthy people is incomparable to that paid by ordinary people.
The former can settle everything as long as they take the money, while the latter seems to be the one subject to legal constraints.
Xiaoliu was also giving him a reminder.
There are flaws in the current law.
[As the saying goes, a prince who breaks the law is punished just like a commoner, but this is only possible in modern times. 】
Kangxi admitted that he was a little selfish.
Xiaoliu's move directly hit his soft spot.
Kangxi felt a little guilty.
He admitted that he couldn't do that.
Forget it, let’s leave the legal matters to the professionals and take our time.
