After the ceremony of the Crown Prince's marriage, Kangxi pointed to the other side of the southern study in the Palace of Heavenly Purity for Yinreng to study.
The specific location is in the southeast corner inside the Qianqing Gate.
When Yinreng learned that his study place had changed, he was completely confused.
In his previous life, after he got married, he studied in the Eastern Palace. His lecturers included Tang Bin, Geng Jie, Dahata and others. The amount of content he learned every day was huge. In addition to Confucian classics, he also had to read and understand the meaning of other works such as Taoism and Legalism.
Another thing is to study the history of each dynasty in depth and understand the positive and negative effects brought about by the promulgation of its decrees.
And summarize the gains and losses.
The lecturer has not changed in this life, but the place where I study has changed.
As for studying, there is no way to avoid it, and Yinreng has nothing to refute. He just doesn't know what impact the change of study place will have on him.
Although Yinreng pretended not to care on the surface, he privately reviewed everything he had done after waking up, and finally attributed the change to the consequences of his frequent visits to the imperial kitchen and the imperial workshop.
Fortunately, although Kangxi was dissatisfied with him going to the imperial kitchen, he did not drag the people around him out to hold them accountable, so He Zhuer escaped the disaster.
He had already experienced such torture once in his previous life, so he was able to handle it again with ease.
Unlike his previous life, whenever his teachers gave him an in-depth analysis of the contents of the books, Yinreng rarely expressed his own opinions.
In his previous life, he would always find some novel angles to refute them, but in this life he just went through the process step by step.
Live the way others expect of him.
What Yinreng didn't know was that after the morning court session, Kangxi would always take some time to hide under the study window and eavesdrop.
Occasionally, you can hear him complain about things recorded in the book.
In mid-September, Galdan gathered his forces to raid the southwestern border of Khalkha, but with Kangxi's advance warning, Galdan's raid ended in failure.
When the news reached the capital, the whole court was in an uproar.
When the ministers summoned by Kangxi learned about this, they were filled with awe.
They also didn't expect that Kangxi's control over the situation was so precise.
Kangxi was very secretive about it.
In late September, the Rakshasa Kingdom sent envoys to the capital to seek peace. Kangxi gave the task of receiving the envoys to Mingzhu, and Soetu looked extremely unhappy.
But the one who surrounded the city of Yaksa was the eldest prince Yinzhi. No matter how reluctant Soetu was, Kangxi would not let him reap the benefits.
Fortunately, he was also one of the representatives during the negotiations, which finally made him feel much better.
Before the representatives of the two countries had clearly demarcated the border line, on the first day of October, Kangxi's thirteenth son was born.
Yinreng was not qualified to attend Thirteen's third-day bathing banquet.
It’s not that I’m not qualified, but that I don’t have time.
Before the age of fifteen, all princes could only rest on New Year's Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor's Birthday and their own birthday.
This shows how precious the few days of vacation given to him by Kangxi were, as he had just woken up from a coma.
At the end of October, after a month of negotiations, the contest between Luosha and the Qing Dynasty finally ended, and the first border treaty between the two countries was born.
After the treaty was signed, the war on the northeastern border also ended. When the first snow fell in the capital, Kangxi's eldest son Yinzhi rushed back from the border.
In order to welcome the generals, Kangxi held a dinner in Jiyi Hall the next day.
The concubines in the harem were not qualified to attend this dinner, and even several princes who were studying in the Shangshufang could not come. Only the crown prince Yinreng seemed to be tied to Kangxi's belt and had to be taken with him wherever he went.
Yinreng had experienced Kangxi's perverted desire for control in his previous life, so he was used to it.
It was here that Yinreng met his elder brother whom he had not seen for a long time.
Yinzhi was already fifteen years old, with a strong physique, thick eyebrows, big eyes and a high nose bridge on his square cheeks. Judging from his appearance, he was more handsome than most princes.
It’s a pity that appearance cannot replace IQ.
This time he followed the army only as a deputy general to learn how to command the war.
In order to pave the way for him, Mingzhu won over the commander-in-chief of the war, so it was rumored that Yinzhi was brave and good at fighting and had made many military achievements.
If you say that he really made any military achievements, Yinreng would not believe it.
After all, he was still a teenager, and it was his first time going to the battlefield. No matter how outstanding Yinzhi's talent in leading troops in battle was, it was impossible for him to achieve much on the battlefield.
Unless he has something on him.
Kangxi sat in the main seat, and there was a small table not far to his left, which was Yinreng's seat.
Ever since Kangxi found out that he could not hear Yinreng's thoughts when he was more than three meters away from him (roughly equivalent to ten meters today), he intentionally or unintentionally let Yinreng get closer to him.
In the eyes of the ministers, this action meant that the emperor was deliberately showing his attention to the crown prince in order to prevent the eldest prince from overshadowing the crown prince.
So the atmosphere of the banquet was lively but also mixed with some strange flavors.
All the officials would look at the expressions of Yinreng, Yinzhi, Soetu and Mingzhu from time to time.
Yinzhi's expression grew worse and worse in this atmosphere.
But he didn't dare to question Kangxi, so he could only glare at Yinreng frequently.
Yinreng: “…”
"Why are you glaring at me? I didn't ask to sit here. Do you have the guts to glare at this old man? I'll see if he doesn't beat your ass!"
Kangxi was drinking and almost choked to death when he heard this.
He raised his eyes to glance at Yinzhi, and just saw him glaring at Yinreng, and Kangxi frowned.
For him, Yinzhi's actions were a challenge to the authority of his father, the emperor.
The crown prince is the heir apparent to the throne. Is there anything wrong with having him sit next to you?
Kangxi narrowed his eyes, put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and wanted to say something, but Nalan Mingzhu saw his intention first.
"His Majesty!"
Kangxi's eyes moved to Nalan Mingzhu, who picked up the wine glass and bowed respectfully.
"I congratulate Your Majesty on this great victory. This will bring long-term peace to the border. Your Majesty's achievements will benefit this generation and generations to come!"
The rest of the officials immediately agreed.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your achievements will benefit the present and future generations!"
Kangxi heard this, raised his glass and said with a smile,
"This is also the merit of you gentlemen."
After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
After drinking it, he felt much better and stopped staring at Yinzhi.
Yinreng also took a sip of the fruit wine.
The alcohol content is not high and it doesn't taste like anything.
"Mingzhu is such a clever little girl, she has so many tricks up her sleeve to coax the old man. It's a pity she can only run for another six months."
