The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

It is hard not to be moved and overwhelmed when a person, even when he is furious, can still take your emotions into consideration! Did Kangxi also have such a tender and affectionate side?
Qinrou was stunned for a moment. Looking at the worry and apology in Kangxi's stern eyes, she seemed to really feel that Hadanala Qinrou, this person, really held a certain weight in the heart of this emperor.

All those past favors, in an instant, became concrete in her mind and memories, making her truly feel that Qin Rou was truly favored by this supreme emperor.

There is no one who does not desire to love and be loved.

People today cannot see the moon of the past, but this moon once shone on the ancients. The jade plate is deep, waxing and waning, and the people who walk on the jade plate and look up at it have passed away from generation to generation. The only thing that remains unchanged is the commonality of each generation, like moths to a flame, they all long to be cherished by others.

Qin Rou looked at the tenderness in the emperor's eyes. The moment she saw it, she felt it was so dazzling that she dared not look him in the eye! Her eyes were burning, and this burning sensation flowed through her eyes and also burned her heart.

After witnessing Kangxi's actions with his own eyes, Li Dequan was shocked. The emperor favored many people, and gradually, if there was nothing special about her, she would be no different from other concubines!
Li Dequan naturally respected him, but he didn't want more. The emperor's preferences were his preferences, and everything was based on the emperor's heart. This sentence was not just a slogan, but an eternal law that Li Dequan practiced all the time.

Even when the emperor was furious, he still took into consideration the feelings of Concubine Nara. In the instant after being shocked, Li Dequan had already raised the importance of Concubine Nara to several levels.

This is the emperor's favorite concubine who truly deserves his respect.

There is also a difference between pampering and doting.

"Yes, a little bit." How could he not be afraid? This was the truth, and there was no need to hide it! Could he hide it? Qin Rou looked at the emperor with a calm expression and said, "Only I can guess that the person who made the emperor so angry must have been a minister of the previous dynasty who had committed a terrible mistake."

Kangxi ascended the throne at a young age and was an emperor for many years. However, he was able to endure humiliation and wait for the right opportunity despite being powerless in the court for so many years.

It can be seen that he had a very good skill in nourishing his Qi. Otherwise, during those years when he was pressed step by step by Oboi's followers, he would have lost his patience and would have been like an egg hitting a stone, which would have been a disaster.

Qin Rou recalled the moment when she entered the palace. As an emperor, Kangxi suddenly felt murderous. He really wanted to cut the culprit who caused the emperor's wrath into pieces and kill all his nine clans. Only in this way could he vent his hatred!
Whatever the reason, could the emperor be so angry? No matter why? First of all, this matter was not trivial. It undoubtedly touched the emperor's reverse scale!

Once the reverse scale is touched, how can the emperor be safe? No bloodshed! Even if thousands of lives are used to fill the gap, it cannot be appeased.

Qin Rou didn't say much, but just these few words have already made her attitude clear. The emperor must have a reason for being furious! It's right to be angry.

Kangxi glanced at the letter that was thrown out, and took Qinrou to a nearby table. Although he was calm, he was still angry. He said to Qinrou, "That was a letter from Yunnan, presented by Wu Sangui."

Qinrou blinked her eyes. She felt even more frightened. A three-foot-thick ice doesn't form overnight. She might not be familiar with the memorial from Yunnan! But she was familiar with Wu Sangui's famous name...

The Rebellion of the Three Feudatories. This was the first thought that came to Qin Rou's mind.

The Rebellion of the Three Feudatories, also known as the Rebellion of the Three Kings!
Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong were the protagonists in the Three Kings Rebellion. Their appearances from the 12th to the 20th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign marked a thrilling political power struggle between the emperor and his courtiers, a struggle between the imperial power and the peak power of the courtiers, which was as exciting as the capture of the traitor Oboi at his peak.

"Oh!" Qin Rou was confused for a moment, not knowing what to say. Talking about government affairs was not something she should know. Qin Rou didn't know where to start!
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Rou finally spoke, but it was difficult to say, "What did he say in the memorial?"

Qinrou is still somewhat interested!

Power is a good thing! It can make people feel like they are in heaven or hell; it can also make people want to live or die. If you hold it firmly, you don't want to let it go; if you don't hold it, you will kill people and fight for it to get it and hold it in your hands.

It was never a surprise that Kangxi and the three kings would come to this point. It was just a historical necessity, the inevitable result of the collision between imperial power and ambitious court officials.

But the process still makes people want to explore.

Kangxi looked at her sideways, with hesitation on his pretty face. His fox eyes did not show any charm, but instead a hint of sadness and trepidation!
"On the Empress Dowager's birthday, court officials from all over the country sent memorials to congratulate her! In the memorial, he cried and complained that there were too many soldiers but insufficient food and wages. He requested that I give him Zunhua and increase the taxes to use as food and wages to distribute to the soldiers. This is to avoid disheartening the generals and soldiers!" This was not the first time. It had been the norm in the past two years. When the traitor Oboi was in power, Wu Sangui often did this.

Even though it was not the first time, but the countless time, if Kangxi heard or saw it again, his rage would only grow even greater!
Qin Rou was not a little girl who knew nothing. In the future, she was a liberal arts student, and her academic performance was always among the best. She was not an ignorant person.

The essence of the struggle for interests and rights has become concrete in her mind!

"How can this be possible?" Qin Rou replied reflexively.

Zunhua belongs to Guizhou. Even if Qin Rou didn't know this, the word "ask for" had already touched Qin Rou's nerves.

Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong were all kings, and within their fiefs, they managed their own armies and taxes, and even officials had room to intervene. Isn't this equivalent to a country within a country?

For example, there is a person in your home who has received your kindness and you have given him two houses. Then he asks you to give him two more houses in your home.

There is no place to be satisfied!

Such a person. Such an unpleasant person, such a thief and robber who has taken over someone else's nest. Would you like him?

"I was too young when I ascended the throne, and the court was controlled by Oboi, which fostered the ambitions of these slaves." Kangxi said indifferently.

Kangxi was not ignorant of the situation, but because he understood it, he was even more angry at this ambitious and aggressive person. He also hated the court officials who had been pressing him step by step, protecting each other, and supporting each other in those years.

Under each of their submissive appearances, they all have wolfish ambitions! No matter how well they disguise themselves, if they are wolves, they will always show their true colors.

No matter how much the late emperor thought about it and tried to control the situation from many sides, he was ultimately unable to avoid this situation.

He did not expect that in such a situation, the ambitious calculations, coercion and oppression of the court officials would all be forced upon him, the young master sitting on the dragon throne.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, this point is taken to the extreme.

The powerlessness of those years, and the fact that the court officials did not repent and instead became worse! Not to mention Kangxi, if Qinrou were in his place, she would also want to kill people and exterminate all nine generations of the family.
