Chapter 337: I've seen people push their kids around, but I've never seen people push thei
"Little, Little Fourth Master?"
The Fourth Prince looked up in shock, his face full of complexion: "My son thought that after hearing so much negative news about that prodigal son, you would no longer look forward to his coming. Even..."
Kangxi raised his eyebrows: "Even to prevent him from being born just to be on the safe side?"
The Fourth Prince was silent. Even if it was him, after hearing Little Eighteen's inner voice for the first time and knowing how many sins that brat had committed, wouldn't he also feel uneasy? He was even a little afraid that the old man would let him enter the palace to eliminate the trouble forever.
Kangxi sighed. It was rare for him to have a heart-to-heart talk with his son. "When I heard about Heshen and Wang Danwang, I was really angry. After all those things, one by one, do you think that stinky boy is worthy of being mentioned on the same level as me, and is he worthy of being a part of the prosperous Kangxi and Qianlong eras?"
But later, more and more little eighteen-year-olds came to chat with each other, and the Qianlong they were able to piece together became more three-dimensional and comprehensive!
I can only say that there are many and big shortcomings, but there are also some bright spots.
"At least in the original historical line, if the emperors after Yongzheng had a little less vision and courage, the Dzungar Khanate would not have become Xinjiang. The island would not have been suppressed, and Gurkhas, Myanmar, and Annan would not have been honest..."
Objectively speaking, although there is some water in the Ten Complete Martial Arts, its contribution cannot be denied.
As for the claim that he was ambitious and vain in his later years, he was so obsessed with the idea of the Celestial Empire that he failed to see the changes in the world situation.
cough cough.
Kangxi's face turned red, and he bravely took up the blame: "You can't blame me for that. You and I, father and son, should also bear a lot of responsibility in history. We value eight-legged essays, but not scientific and technological development, which we regard as a minor matter. I demoted Dai Zi and reprimanded Huang Luzhuang. You, kid, have unified the imperial examinations and used literary inquisition as a weapon to exclude dissidents, and you haven't started a good start."
The pot flew out of nowhere and the Fourth Prince was numb.
I wondered why my son was in such a difficult situation.
It's because you were reluctant to appoint a crown prince, playing the game of checks and balances until your death! It makes all the brothers feel that they have a chance, and any name other than their own that appears in the edict of succession is a conspiracy.
It is difficult to describe the Qianlong in history. It is possible that he was so busy cleaning up the mess of the Kangxi reign that he had no time to teach vigorously.
But the ruler is the leader of his subjects, and the father is the leader of his sons.
The double suppression from his king and his father made him complain a lot in his heart, but he dared not show even a little bit.
Fortunately, Kangxi wanted to talk more than communicate, and he didn't care about his fourth son's reaction.
He could only sigh: "Looking at the past from the perspective of a later generation, one will naturally be clear-headed and broad-minded. But when you are in the middle of a situation, who can miss even the slightest breeze? When Yingjili first came to the capital to pay homage to the emperor, it was already the 58th year of Qianlong's reign."
Qianlong, who was born in the 50th year of Kangxi's reign, was already an octogenarian at that time!
"If we were in your shoes and I were unable to hear Little Eighteen's inner voice, would we be able to remain humble and eager to learn from the unique skills of a barbaric country that we have never heard of?"
In particular, the firearms that were highly praised by the other side were crushed by our side in the war against Dzungar a few years ago.
The Fourth Prince was speechless when asked and remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, Kangxi finally sighed: "The world is like a chess game, each game is new, and a new round has already begun. Why do you bother to dwell on the things in the original history?"
"The child is wrong, as a father, you should teach him more."
"You rebellious sons caused such a scene in the original historical plot, acting like brothers and sisters, and doing all kinds of rubbish. When I found out, I got angry and scolded you, but didn't I calm down and think carefully about how to break the situation?"
How can one punish without teaching?
Compared to regretting that she should have given birth to little Qianlong in the future when the prince dies before her and Hongxi fails in his endeavors.
Kangxi would rather eliminate this possibility directly.
Let the fourth son be born and raised well.
If anything unexpected happens, little Qianlong, who has corrected those bad habits, would be the best alternative.
If everything goes well, you will be a pillar of the country!
However, Kangxi did not reveal these secret thoughts to anyone.
He just acted like a generous, tolerant and kind grandfather, which moved the Fourth Prince to tears. He said on the spot that he would definitely do his best, no matter for the people's livelihood or for the living.
At the same time, he will teach wholeheartedly and set strict requirements.
Just like he strictly taught Hongshi, he did not relax the education of any of his sons.
Just as Khan Amma strictly required them brothers.
Kangxi fully agreed with this and even provided some help.
Then, Yinxuan, who came to Prince Yong's mansion to see his fourth brother off, witnessed the collapse of his eldest nephew Hongshi with his own eyes.
Books as tall as children, arranged in two rows.
In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, horseback archery and horse riding, one must be proficient in five languages: Manchu, Mongolian, Chinese, Tibetan and foreign. One must also learn astronomy, geometry, instrument making and firearms research and development.
In addition to the overwhelming workload, I also have to write to my father at least three times a month.
I wrote down what I learned, gained and thought in parallel prose.
These many requests made Yinzhen dumbfounded: [Oh my god, I have seen people who push their children but I have never seen people who push their children to death. No wonder the eldest nephew of Hongshi in history did not try to please his Khan Father, but instead got close to his eighth uncle next door.]
[Perhaps his eighth uncle promised him that after he succeeded in ascending the throne, the first imperial decree would be sent to Prince Yong’s residence, ordering Prince Yong not to raise a child!]
The Fourth Prince's face darkened, and Hongshi was so scared that he burst into tears: "Wow, it's not that I'm unfilial, it's just that I really can't do what Father asks of me."
As he spoke, the little fellow trembled and made the number seven: "My son was born in the 34th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. He is only seven years old now. It has only been a few days since his sixth birthday. Father! You... this is too cruel. It is even more frightening than Khan Ma Fa's 120 repetitions of Dafa!"
Who said no?
Yin Xuan, who had also been tortured by the 120 repetitions of Dafa for a period of time, felt sympathetic and quickly stepped forward to hug his fat nephew: "Fourth brother, don't use the learning knife to kill people. The child is still young, you should pay attention to the scale, be careful not to have the opposite effect, and make him hate studying."
If you want to speed, you can't reach it.
Forcing things to grow is not a good thing.
[Because Xiao Xi didn't learn well, the father and son became estranged.]
Yeah.
Hongshi nodded vigorously, tears falling as he moved.
There are still tears hanging in the corners of her eyes.
The Fourth Prince couldn't help but think of what the Eighteenth Prince had been thinking about. In the original historical line, this child was adopted by the Eighth Prince, stripped of his yellow belt, and died of depression in his twenties.
In the end, I softened my heart and agreed to lighten his burden a little.
These goals can be achieved gradually, in small quantities and in batches, one by one.
There is no need to use parallel prose when writing letters, and there is no requirement for a certain number of words. It is enough to express your thoughts clearly and achieve the purpose of strengthening the relationship between father and son.
