Chapter 409
The Prince's Grand Tutor
After dealing with the Soetu, it was not enough. Emperor Kangxi was decisive and decisive. After leaving the court, he summoned the Minister of Political Affairs, the Minister of the Interior, the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace, the Secretary of the Six Ministers, the Minister of the Secretariat and the Minister of the Nanshufang to discuss matters.
Since it is rare to have this opportunity to hit Soetu head-on, Emperor Kangxi will not let it go, so he immediately selected those who are loyal to others to make up for the lack of Soetu and Fabao.
The Minister of the Interior will not mention it for now. The prince’s tutor is important. The prince is just learning the rules of establishing a straightforward position. What kind of person is the prince’s tutor and what kind of person the prince will become in the future. Emperor Kangxi was dissatisfied with Soetu. His abilities and temperaments were not worthy of being the prince’s tutor. He was just a glorious person who occupied the title of the prince’s uncle.
Now that Suo'etu is not a problem, Emperor Kangxi then pointed out his favorite candidate. He was an old minister of the two dynasties, Feng Pu, a great scholar in Wenhua Palace. Feng Pu served as examiners twice and played an important position in the literary world.
This man worked diligently in Hanlin for more than ten years and repeatedly taught strategies to enrich the country and safeguard the people. Before the establishment of Nanshu, Emperor Kangxi summoned him many times to discuss knowledge and even to govern the country and the people. However, this is not what Feng Pu is most admired. What is most admired is that he is broad-minded and loves talents as much as his destiny.
In the New Year's Evaluation, Emperor Kangxi wanted Feng Pu to pay more attention to knowledgeable scholars to enrich Hanlin and Nanshu. He should be at ease with Feng Pu when doing things. Finally, he handed over to the list. As expected, all of them were virtuous. Now he has a great say in the court, but in the past, he cannot do without Feng Pu's contribution.
If there is such a teacher and professor to protect the country, would he worry about whether he can shoulder the important task of protecting the country?
Mr. Kangxi called Feng Pu to Lord Yizhai with a close call, and he expressed his thoughts. All the adults around him were envious. However, Feng Pu was a little surprised and was not surprised. He even hesitated for a while before he responded.
Mr. Kangxi noticed, thinking of Feng Pu's seemingly unspeakable hidden secrets. Since it was difficult to say it now, Mr. Kangxi didn't ask, and waited until later before leaving Lord Feng to speak alone.
In addition to the matter of the prince and tutor, there are several other things to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. From the military newspapers I received a few days ago, it is only a matter of being close to pacified the Three Feudals. I want to come next year and return to the court, so I have to start discussing the laws of governing the Three Feudals and sorrowing the people.
But Feng Pu didn't feel relaxed, but it was a privilege to take it seriously. There was no reluctance at all. I just thought about how to say something for a while. Not to mention the prince's tutor, he wanted to push back his previous job. He recommended so many talents to Emperor Wansui, and it was time for him to take a break.
Wu Sangui ascended the throne in Hengzhou last year. After ascending the throne, he announced a new money law and law. Although the court had never looked down on the local emperor of Wu Sangui, he also ignored the law and laws. However, the people of the Sanfan tribe had to eat, wear, chew and make a living, so they had to follow it.
Being the emperor devotes his energy to the great affairs of the country, and he has to worry about using people to control people.
Feng Pu hurriedly got up and bowed to Master Kangxi, saying that he was disrespectful. He could have watched Master Kangxi grow up. How could he not know the nature of the emperor? He was really unwilling to say anything about him, but the courtesy should not be abolished. Feng Pu was struggling for a while and then hesitated.
When the Three Feudals are pacified, the same thing is to restore the old money system. However, how to exchange new coins, how to calm prices, and how to recuperate from the people, you have to take out a charter. You cannot arbitrarily ask people to confiscate all the new coins in the hands of the people. This will definitely cause dissatisfaction, and you are afraid that it will be in chaos again.
"I am ashamed of the emperor's expectations. I have actually planned to retire earlier. You have also said that I have been in the court for more than 30 years. I have been a long time in recent years. Sometimes I feel powerless. Now half of the court are new people. I am the only young minister, and I think I can't delay political affairs."
In addition, the Nan Study Room was just established, and it was time for it to grow and grow. Everyone must be united. Baershan collected news that Gao Shiqi seemed to be a little quarrel with the Chen family. It was not easy to put people in the same place, so as not to secretly form cliques like Soetu and Mingzhu and others, and they secretly formed cliques and sects, which was like water and fire, which caused a headache.
"It has been more than thirty years since I took office. Since I took office, I have accepted all the advices that Lord Yizhai benefited the country and the people. I treat me sincerely and sincerely. If you and I don't have any words as open and honest as you, my king and my ministers, you are so worried that I feel nervous."
After all the political affairs were discussed, everyone realized that it was already past lunch time. Emperor Kangxi was not willing to ask all the adults to go back hungry, so he gave everyone a lunch. He even asked Feng Pu to have a meal with him. Everyone immediately thanked him, and his heart was slightly relaxed. Finally, he could sacrifice to the Five Insects Mansions.
But Wu Sangui is still a relative. Although it is not a mistake to reform the new law after becoming emperor, the mistake is that the person who promulgated the law is very unproficient in the law and minted coins randomly. In addition, the frequent wars and prices soared, the Three Feudatories had already collapsed without any attack.
Emperor Kangxi ordered Fucha Alantai, the Minister of Political Affairs, to take charge of the money law. Alantai has always been a clean and powerful person. He is the most sincere and selfless, and is certainly the most fair to ask him to come and handle the money law.
Although Emperor Kangxi was upset that Wu Sangui was doing redundantly, the Three Feudals were his Three Feudals, and the people of the Three Feudals were also his people. As the king of a country, he could not blame the people for Wu Sangui's rebellion.
In addition to Alantai, Emperor Kangxi also had Chen Tingjing, the Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Justice, Folun, and the Deputy Censor of the Ministry of Justice, Ma Shiji, listened to Alantai's actions. These three were younger. Emperor Kangxi originally planned to include these three, especially Chen Tingjing, in the Nanshu, but he could not ask the talented pillars to show him the memorials. There must be someone who does practical things.
"Actually, I handed over the resignation letter yesterday. However, the official service in Nanshu is busy. This letter is not important, so I couldn't hand it over to the desk before you called me the crown prince and tutor. In this way, I'm in a dilemma and retreat."
Mr. Kangxi attached great importance to Feng Pu, so how could he not see Feng Pu's deep feelings? Because he was anxious, he didn't know why Lord Feng didn't want to teach the prince. Mr. Kangxi ignored food and food, and only barely put down his chopsticks after he was half full, and openly asked Lord Feng what he meant.
He thought Feng Pu was dissatisfied and unwilling. Who said that it was not the case, but wanted to retire. Master Kangxi suddenly felt relieved and said he refused.
"You are not yet in decline at the age of 64, so you will be relieved after you are seventy!"
Even if you are judging words, Kangxi would have to keep people for six more years. If you are more ambiguous, seventy-nine would be seventy. Kangxi's arithmetic is excellent, but now he refuses to count and must ask Lord Feng to serve him for ten and twenty years.
He knew that this was not easy to force and could not speak too much. Emperor Kangxi immediately played the emotional card and even asked Liang Jiugong to move Lord Feng's stool to him. He held Lord Feng's hand and talked for a long time.
