The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Li Dequan had to admire the courage of Concubine Nara. The emperor was furious. This was not the first time in recent days. Everyone knew that it was because of the previous dynasty's plan to reduce the power of the feudal lords!

But no one would be so brave!
The reason why I asked this question so bluntly is probably because, after spending so long in this political arena with its ornate and magnificent architecture, I have unknowingly learned how to say something or ask a question in a roundabout way before I can finally get to the point.

But in the end, only this concubine did this. How can I put it? It was also because of the emperor's indulgence. If the emperor did not allow it, Concubine Nara was also a smart person and would have kept her mouth shut long ago! Not a word was leaked.

Qin Rou didn't know Li Dequan's admiration, and naturally didn't know that he had so many thoughts in his mind. What she couldn't see through and guess was the human heart. If she had the ability to guess the human heart, she wouldn't be willing to be in this situation. Some information, from the moment you know it, you don't know how much value it can create.

She had to care about Kangxi, and almost all her thoughts were on Kangxi at this time. To say something that modern people may not understand, all the servants in Zhenshunzhai, including Li Dequan, were thinking about the emperor.

The emperor decides whether they can live or die!
So I had no other thoughts in my mind. The only thing on my mind now was how to dissipate the emperor's anger immediately.

As long as the emperor's anger does not subside, they will have to worry about their heads; if it never subsides... they don't have to live anymore. They can only say that they can still be companions on the road to the underworld.

Qin Rou is also open-minded. She has to be open-minded. People always have to adapt to the environment.

Tsk! What can we do? Kangxi has come and said it again, let’s just drink poison to quench thirst! At least we can get a reprieve!

It’s like, she has already come into this world, she can’t just stop living because of this.

As Qinrou spoke, she leaned softly in Kangxi's arms, with her head resting softly on Kangxi's shoulder.

"Have you heard about it?" He couldn't bring it up, nor could he not bring it up. Whether he brought it up or not, Kangxi was still angry. Those dog slaves in the court, who eat the emperor's salary, don't know how to share the emperor's worries!
They want to be the banker and take all the benefits. They take the court salary and the stolen goods from traitors and villains. With a little bribe, they can forget about the country's affairs and sell out the court and the emperor for nothing.

Think about not scaring her! Damn those servants of the previous dynasty, she is not brave enough, and she was frightened when she turned back, which was even more frightening, and he felt distressed.

Kangxi rarely relaxed his emotions. He was too suppressed, so he held Qinrou in his arms, and stroked her back with one hand from time to time, with love and pity.

"I haven't heard of it," Qin Rou felt Kangxi's actions, she was still afraid, but shook her head gently, she was not that omnipotent, not to mention the strict precautions between the former dynasty and the harem.

If she really had such ability, she wouldn't be so calm. She was just too sure of her own ability, emotional intelligence, and intelligence, so she was so calm. Qin Rou was very calm, her voice was calm and peaceful, "I guessed it, reducing the power of the vassal is a big deal!"

The reduction of the power of the feudal lords cannot be decided in a day or two. Even today, the court is still arguing about it. She is watching coldly. Is there still room for argument?

There are thousands of people in the world, and there are thousands of different thoughts and ideas. Some people may want to sell out national interests for their own interests; some people may just think that the timing is not right. For a while, these voices of opposition and disapproval will not be so easy to suppress.

However, Emperor Kangxi was obviously not a soft persimmon. In February, he took the opportunity to send troops and generals to Guizhou, seizing the initiative. Generally speaking, the situation was not so critical, so the ministers could still argue.

"You!" Kangxi smiled. She was so frank that he really couldn't get angry. There were many smart people in the harem, and there were more than two who could see it, but not all of them could say it so frankly. Thinking of those old foxes in the previous dynasty and the repeated persuasion of the Royal Mama, Kangxi was determined to withdraw the feudal system. He also knew that the final result would go in the direction Kangxi needed. He was a determined and ambitious emperor, and naturally he would not give up his goals and plans for a little obstruction.

But in the process, there were so many ministers, and the Empress Dowager also obstructed, which was always unpleasant! The Empress Dowager wanted stability, but there was no such thing as "stability" in the world. Wu Sangui was old, and he was half buried in the ground, but he was old at heart and had great ambitions. Now he was going to be granted land. If he was allowed to develop for a few more years, he would probably march north and take Kyoto.

Kangxi could not tolerate him. This was like him using money, materials and land to help the traitor to raise rebels. When the rebels were raised, they would turn against him as their master. If he failed to raise a tiger, it would become a big disaster!

Kangxi would never do such a brainless thing.

Kangxi had been preparing for this war for four years, and not just four years, but also the years before he officially took power.

Even if we count from the year he took power, it has been exactly four years.

How could Kangxi give up!
It was just a temporary quarrel. After Kangxi laughed, the anger that had been accumulating in his heart dissipated a lot in an instant, and his mood improved a lot.

"Those court officials," Kangxi closed his eyes, exhaled, and finally had the nerve to speak his mind, saying, "They are receiving my salary. But... they are someone's slaves, and I'm afraid no one knows except themselves."

Qin Rou's heart trembled and her head was buzzing. Kangxi would not say this for no reason. So, the most intuitive guess is... someone in the court accepted the treasures or benefits of the princes, so he opposed the reduction of the princes under the banner of court stability!

Collaborating with the enemy! For a moment, she could only think of these four words in her brainstorming, repeating them in an endless loop.

Hiss... Qin Rou almost wanted to take a breath of cold air. This was really, being blinded by wealth and glory! He was so bold that he dared to touch such a thing.

However, it seems that there are always such people who disregard national interests no matter when or where.

The imperial examination system and the emperor's promotion can test an official's knowledge and ability, but they cannot test his or her character and morality. What's more, people always change.

A wise ruler can eventually become a foolish ruler, so there is nothing wrong with accepting court officials selling out national interests.

Qin Rou felt that the court officials did not really understand their emperor very well. She wanted to ask the emperor, is he unable to lift the knife? How could he allow such a thing to jump around?

But she stopped again. She couldn't bear it, and Kangxi couldn't bear it even more.

No matter when or where, treason is the biggest and most filthy crime. No matter whether a gentleman or a villain, a traitor will lose his reputation wherever he is.

I'm afraid the court officials still thought that Kangxi was still the young and hastily enthroned emperor who was weak and powerless. Even though Kangxi stretched out his butcher knife, the bloody lesson still didn't make them remember!
Little did they know that Kangxi was sharpening his knife, waiting for the "chickens" among the people who were to be killed as a warning to the monkeys to jump out. (End of this chapter)
