It was not until this moment that Kangxi finally understood why Yinreng was unwilling to get close to him.
Before being plotted against by his biological father in his previous life, Yinreng showed himself to him without reservation. Not only did he not receive the corresponding honesty, but it also further deepened his disgust and fear of him.
When he drank the poisoned wine, he probably saw clearly that the one who wanted to take his life was his biological father.
Kangxi suddenly felt ridiculous and pathetic.
It was obvious that when Yinreng was just born, he also hoped that Yinreng could become a more competent emperor than himself, but when he really had the ability and courage to do it, his expectations of him turned into deep fear.
He knew in his heart that Yinreng would never rebel against him, his father, the emperor, so he blatantly framed him and made him suffer the pain of being cursed by everyone.
ha……
Kangxi closed his eyes tightly, and turbid tears flowed down the corners of his eyes and dripped onto his clothes.
At the morning court on the fourth day of the first lunar month, Yinreng always felt that the old man looked at him with a strange look. When he looked carefully, the strange look disappeared.
Yinreng thought that the old man had found out that he had asked his younger brothers to choose dowries for the eldest and second princesses, so he didn't think much about it.
Anyway, it's not illegal for him to protect his sisters.
After the morning court session, Kangxi went out of the city again and visited a farm outside Beijing.
Kangxi originally intended to move the firearms manufacturing hall into the prison, but after a long time, Kangxi discovered that Dai Zi needed space to test the development of firearms.
But the prison obviously cannot meet this requirement.
So Kangxi secretly moved Dai Zi to a farm outside Beijing.
Kangxi relocated all the original tenants of the farm and sent heavy troops to guard it. In order to allow Dai Zi to concentrate on his research, Kangxi brought his entire family to the farm.
He would also occasionally buy some cannons and muskets from abroad for him to disassemble. After more than two years, Dai Zi's research results were quite impressive.
The power of the chain musket has also been upgraded.
When Kangxi arrived at the farm, he happened to see Dai Zi testing the power of a small cannon.
Seeing the cannon blasting a big hole in the pre-built stone wall, Kangxi nodded with satisfaction.
He then recalled the scene he had seen in his dream and asked Dai Zi,
"Mr. Dai, can this cannon be installed on a warship?"
"Your Majesty, of course it's possible."
Kangxi praised,
"That's right... then can this cannonball be improved a bit? If it can explode when it hits a stone wall or the ground, its power will definitely increase dramatically."
Kangxi recalled the scene of artillery bombardment he saw in his dream and gave Dai Zi a rough description of it.
Dai Zi's eyes lit up.
"This is a good direction. I will try it."
After he finished speaking, he left Kangxi behind and left.
Kangxi did not stop it.
Over the past two years, Kangxi also saw that Dai Zi was a simple and pure person. It was not that he did not know etiquette, but he had an extraordinary focus on what he was good at.
This kind of personality is actually not very likable, but Kangxi admired it very much.
People who are straightforward are always easier to control than those who are cunning and cunning.
After Dai Zi left, Kangxi asked the manager in charge of the operation of the farm to take him to test several new firearms that Dai Zi had developed.
Finally, I went to take a look at the place where Dai Zi forged firearms.
Of course, Dai Zi could not manufacture firearms alone. He transferred a group of top craftsmen to the Firearms Hall of the Ministry of Industry to cooperate with Dai Zi.
Today, this farm actually looks more like a military camp.
Kangxi walked around the farm and finally felt much better.
Just after the first month of the lunar year, the second princess was named Princess Heshuo Rongxian and the wedding date was set.
The Second Princess was actually Kangxi's third daughter. Her two older sisters died young, and she was the first princess among Kangxi's daughters to grow up healthily. Naturally, Kangxi paid special attention to her.
Her husband was Borjigit Urgun, the second son of Ozil, Prince of Doro of the Balin tribe of Mongolia.
Urgun's great-grandfather was Huang Taiji, whose origin was also outstanding among the Mongolian tribes.
Yinreng actually knew that the two of them were not yet within the fifth degree of kinship, which was considered a close relative marriage, but in this era where interests were paramount, seniority was nothing in the eyes of the upper class aristocrats.
If not for this, the Empress Dowager would not have married her cousin, Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, after dreaming about his previous life that day, Kangxi considered whether he should continue to marry into the Mongolian tribes.
After all, in his dream, the power of the Qing Dynasty was unquestionable.
In this way, it was only a matter of time before the Qing Dynasty was free from threats from the Mongolian tribes and neighboring countries.
Then why should he send his daughter to such a bitter and cold place to suffer?
Kangxi knew that if he acted tougher, the Mongolian tribes would not cause any harm to the Qing Dynasty in the short term.
But if the Qing Dynasty did not become stronger as expected, the Mongolian tribes would not remain under the rule of the Qing Dynasty forever.
Kangxi hesitated for several days and finally decided to marry the eldest and second princesses to Mongolia.
As for his other daughters, he would try his best to follow their own wishes.
Kangxi suddenly remembered what Yinreng had said before, about training his daughters to be ambitious and interfere in the military and political affairs of the Mongolian tribes. He had thought he was dreaming before, but now it seemed that it was not impossible.
If the Qing Dynasty became powerful, no matter which family his daughter married into, that family would have to worship her.
At the end of March, after arranging the wedding of the eldest princess, Kangxi set out from the capital and headed for Duolun Nor.
Kangxi intended to mediate the hatred among the various Khalkha Mongolian tribes as the leader of the alliance, and to divide Inner and Outer Mongolia into banners, confer royal titles on them, and place them under the direct jurisdiction of the court.
