Sure enough, it was similar to what Yinzuo had thought before. Yinreng said so much, but the last sentence was actually the key. As the controller of the Qing Empire, how could Kangxi want the safety of his country to be in the hands of the Han people?
"From Khan Ama's perspective, this idea is indeed not a problem, but I want to ask Khan Ama, have you thought about the future? Now the foreigners are more backward than our Qing Dynasty, but what about the future? You saw the power of the sub-cannon with your own eyes when you personally led the expedition against Galdan. We are stagnant now, but they are moving forward together. What do you think will happen in the future when others come with muskets and cannons? Will our bows and arrows and the Eight Banners cavalry be able to withstand them? When they kill and burn people, will they first distinguish between Manchus and Han people? What will we do then? Cede land and pay compensation? Sign various unequal treaties? Or let them trample on us?"
Although Yinzuo had never seen Mudu in person, he had witnessed that period of history in various materials. He knew that if things were allowed to develop, their descendants would definitely end up at this point in the future. From Kangxi's perspective, it was not wrong for him to want to protect the fruits of his ancestors' labor, but the same thing applies: if you want to protect your family property, why should tens of millions, hundreds of millions of Chinese people pay the price for you?
In fact, Kangxi might be aware of the consequences that Yinzuo mentioned, but Yinzuo's words were too narrow-minded. Although the Manchus had ruled the Central Plains for decades, their thinking was still stuck in the past. Their so-called home, country and the world were only the home, country and the world of the Manchus. When they thought about things and did things, the first thing they considered was maximizing the interests of the Manchus, not whether this matter was beneficial to the country.
Yinzuo remembered that he had seen such a sentence on the Internet: Among the twelve emperors of the Qing Dynasty, only Yongzheng could be called the emperor of this country, rather than the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, Yinzuo had always firmly hoped that he could ascend the throne in the future since he traveled through time. Of course, he was not great either. Yinzhen was his biological brother and had a closer relationship with him, which was also an important factor in making it easier for him to curry favor with others in the future.
You may wonder, since Yinzuo is good in all aspects and is favored by Kangxi, why doesn't he fight for that position? In fact, it is easy to understand. He is a salted fish. In his opinion, if he does not become emperor, he will be controlled by others in the future and may not live a good life. But if he becomes emperor, not only will he be controlled by others, but he will also definitely not live a good life. For Yinzuo, being an emperor is a tough job. Just getting up and attending court every day can cost him his life.
Let's get back to the point. Kangxi frowned even more tightly after hearing what Yinzuo said. Yinreng stood aside and remained silent. Yinzuo looked at his father, then at his brother, and finally could only sigh helplessly. He simply made up his mind, closed his eyes, and spoke directly to his father.
"Khan Ama, I don't care anyway. I've already decided on this guy. At worst, you can give me the Ministry of Works and let him work under me. I'll keep an eye on him for you. I think we can do without the guns and cannons, but we must have them. Do you remember what I told you before? Dignity lies only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon. Anyway, I've already told you, I'll pick him up when we get to Shengjing, and we'll take them back with us when we return to Beijing."
Good man, what do you mean by "I have already informed you"? So what you mean is that you have made up your mind to do this regardless of whether I agree or not. Since you are so capable, why are you asking me?
Yinzuo's words challenging Kangxi's authority really irritated Kangxi. He looked around but couldn't find anything suitable. Finally, he picked up the chess box on the table and smashed it at Yinzuo!
"You bastard! It seems I spoiled you too much before, which is why you have become so disrespectful to your father and the emperor. Come, take this bastard away and give him twenty heavy lashes."
If Kangxi's chess box had hit him in the past, Yinzuo would have dodged to the side. But today, he didn't move and took the blow from his father. The chess box was made of white jade, so you can imagine how it felt when it hit his head. Yinzuo felt his mind go blank for a moment, and then his vision went black and he passed out. His last thought before he fainted was, "This is at least a concussion. Will I be spared the twenty lashes?" If not, will the beating not hurt if he's unconscious...
As soon as Yinzuo finished speaking, Yinreng knew that the matter was over. Seeing Yinzuo's head covered in blood after being hit by his Khan Father with a chess box, and falling to the ground with a bang, Yinreng's face turned pale. He quickly walked to Yinzuo's side, squatted down, and wanted to help him up from the ground, but he didn't dare to move him. He could only look at Kangxi lying on the bed.
"Khan Ama... look..."
Although Kangxi was very angry just now, he still held back when he hit Yinzuo. He thought that when he threw the box, Yinzuo would immediately dodge like he did every time he wanted to hit him. But he didn't expect that this time he didn't dodge. Not only did he not dodge, he didn't even turn his head. So when Yinzuo fell down, not only Yinreng was scared, but Kangxi was also scared.
"Liang Jiugong, go and call the imperial physician, call all the accompanying imperial physicians, quickly, you must hurry... Yinreng, don't move him yet, the wound on his forehead is still bleeding, go get a thick handkerchief and help him press the wound. Yinzuo, can you hear what Father is saying? Yinzuo..."
It would be a miracle if Yinzuo could hear anything since he was unconscious. Kangxi squatted beside him and called him a few times. Seeing that he had no response, his expression changed. He raised his hand to his nose to check his breathing, and then put his hand on his chest to feel his heartbeat. The tension in his heart finally relaxed a little. At this moment, he no longer cared about his image as an emperor. He took Yinzuo's hand and sat down on the ground next to him!
Doctor Wang and other doctors were brought here by Liang Jiugong and the guards. As soon as they entered the room, they saw such a horrifying scene. Prince Zhao was lying on the ground with blood all over his head. His Majesty and the Crown Prince were standing on both sides of him, one sitting and the other squatting with grim expressions. This was a familiar recipe, a familiar taste, and it was definitely the rhythm of Candy Crush again.
"Doctor Wang, please come over here and take a look at him..."
To be honest, Doctor Wang didn't want to go over, but he had to. When Yinreng saw Doctor Wang coming, he quickly made way for him. Doctor Wang squatted over and examined Yinzuo, his brows furrowed so much that he could pinch a fly to death.
"Your Majesty, you know that the interior of the human head is a profound mystery. I am an old minister of limited knowledge, and all I can do now is to treat the wound on Prince Zhao's forehead. As for the specific situation and treatment, we can only wait until Prince Zhao wakes up and decide based on his symptoms."
When Kangxi heard his words, his heart tightened. Wasn't this equivalent to telling him that Yinzuo could only leave it to fate?
"Okay, all of you come here. I'm handing Yinzuo over to you. You must ensure that he wakes up safely, otherwise..."
