Chapter 104
Kangxi asked him: "What else do you know?"
"The boundless love is boundless," Yinreng praised affectionately: "Khan Ama is the good fraternity. You have been studying with Erchen for so long, but you can't forget the elder brother. He said before that he wanted to be a general in the future. Now the elder brother is over teenage and is a man! You also said that there are external troubles on the border. How can Khan Ama trains Erchen as a crown prince? Can he bring his elder brother and train him to be a general?"
"Oh?" The emperor's mysterious gaze fell on Yinreng, with a hidden look and scrutiny. He almost exploded with fur all over his body. Then he snorted and sneered: "After talking for a long time, you think I care too much about you, and want to pull my brother together to divert my gaze, right?"
Yinreng was struck by lightning and stared in horror: Khan Ama actually saw through the lonely thoughts, Oh my God!
Master Du taught Yinreng that the way of being a king should not be reflected in his emotions, and he should not make people guess his inner thoughts, nor should he simply put everything on his face. If he cannot do this, try to be as free and graceful as possible, or have a expressionless face or a smile.
Yinreng has tried very hard to control himself and have "decoration". He controlled very well at the court meeting. When Khan Ama summoned the court officials, he also controlled very well. However, when facing the "scheming and calculating" Khan Ama, he often failed his achievements and was seen through his true thoughts.
Yinreng: Khan Ama is really a worm in Gu’s belly. He can easily guess Gu’s heart. Gu is like running in front of Khan Ama, like an onion peeled off the shell, an orange that has peeled off the peel, and a hairless chick.
【…】
Seeing that his son was so scheming, Kangxi shook his head and sighed.
"I teach you the way of the emperor. If you can learn half of it, I will be satisfied. Baocheng is smart in other things, but his understanding of people's hearts is too tender." Kangxi thought for a while, how can he teach Baocheng's mind skills?
"Since Baocheng has learned the "Zizhi Tongjian", starting today, I will teach you a book called "Little Boys's Zhi Tongjian" called "Anti-Sutra".
Kangxi had a copy of the "Anti-Sutra" in his hand. He ordered people to go to his study, take the "Anti-Sutra" and hand it to Yinreng.
"This book has been valued by emperors and generals since ancient times. It was originally named "Long and Short Jing". It was written by Zhao Rui, a Tang Dynasty man. The previous emperor said, "Take strategy as the classics, history as the dimensions..." The book analyzes the length, short, gains and losses clearly. It is the best bibliography for the emperor's way. I thought before that when you were young, it might be difficult to understand the profound and obscure content. Now, with "Zizhi Tongjian" as the foundation, it is time to study "Anti-Classics" as the agenda."
"From ancient times, historical books have often judged heroes by success or failure, while "Anti-Classic" takes a different approach and uses wisdom and power to explain it." Kangxi stuffed a thick new book into Yinreng's hands and kindly stroked his son's dog head: "Baocheng has nothing to do at night, remember to recite the book repeatedly and think about it carefully."
Yinreng hugged the book "Anti-Sutra" blankly, and his heart suddenly felt empty.
Lonely cartoon...
Kangxi took a lightly slander about Yinreng's attempt to bring Yinzhi, but told Yinreng: "If you can't read this book, why not ask this old teacher more while Du Lide is still there!"
The three words Du Lide are of great importance in Yinreng's mind. Before, he was a little sad and lost the time to watch cartoons. When he heard that Du Lide was still here for the last two days, he immediately abandoned the cartoons.
"Master, is he going back to his hometown?"
"I pray for a rest in my hometown and enjoy my old age. My descendants will be happy to teach my peaches and plums to enjoy a peaceful life."
Kangxi sighed with emotion as if nothing had happened: "I still don't know when I will have such a blessing as Du Lide."
As he said that, he looked at Yinreng again, as if he was looking at a small donkey, evaluating when it would be able to get a job, and working hard to pull the mills.
Yinreng was frozen and complimented his old father like a good word. "Khan Ama is ambition and is about to reach his peak. It is a good time for the ambitions in his heart to be realized. You want to retire now, it's too early. You also said you want to be the holy king who has left his name in history!"
Kangxi said "um" softly without comment, waved his hand to him: "Why don't you go to study quickly?"
Huh? Let him go so early today?
Yinreng looked at the sky and asked Xiaomei the exact time.
[It's past three o'clock in the afternoon! It's time for the children's father to entertain.] Kangxi's entertainment is about reciting poems and paintings, recruiting concubines to listen to music and opera, enjoy pinching his shoulders and pounding his back.
Yinreng: In other words, if you go to study faster and study efficiently, you can still squeeze out time to watch cartoons at night?
With this motivation, he immediately took his newly obtained book and went to the study room to find Du Lide.
Du Lide is about to return to his hometown, and the final proofreading of the books he has compiled can be asked about the world.
The old teacher is old and in good spirits. After the imperial physician's diagnosis and treatment, he reminded Du Lide to exercise more and eat less meat, so that he can live for more than ten years.
If you live to the age of 80 for more than ten years, you will become a true old birthday star.
Du Lide stroked his beard and felt quite satisfied.
When Yinreng came to look for him, he happened to hear the imperial physician talking to Du Lide. He was overjoyed. Seeing Du Lide look at him, he shouted loudly: "Master!"
Du Lide smiled and asked the imperial physician to leave first: "Oh? The emperor didn't keep His Highness to study hard today? I'm still here when I have time."
"Khan Ama asked Gu to come and study with Master Du for the last two days. You will be back home in the future. Gu will have very few opportunities to see you!" Yinreng took out the "Anti-Sutra" in his hand and asked Du Lide: "Do Master Tai know this book?"
Du Lide said in surprise: "It turned out to be the "Long and Short Sutra". No wonder the emperor asked the palace to come to the old minister to learn."
He smiled and returned the book to Yinreng: "When the emperor studied the "Long and Short Sutra", he was also taught by an old minister!"
When recalling the past, Du Lide was deeply touched. He went through four dynasties, experienced the late emperor from a young age to a sick death, and watched with his own eyes the current emperor grow from a lonely and young lion to a majestic and powerful lion. Now the emperor gave him the opportunity to teach the prince. In the eyes of the old teacher, the prince's status is comparable to that of a great grandson. In addition, he was happy with his talent and imagined his future as an emperor's style. Du Lide tried a lot when he taught Yinreng.
Even before leaving, the old teacher braved the bad intention to leave Yinreng alone and whispered to him.
"Your Highness now has no desire to compete for power, and you don't have it yourself, but it does not mean that others don't have it. You must be careful of others, but you should not be too careful. Otherwise, you will be suspicious and indecisive. Weighing the power and properly satisfying the greed of the ministers is the most important part of the emperor's mind. Sometimes, those who are the king need to know how to be confused, because when weighing the pros and cons, pretending to be confused may benefit more."
"The Emperor's Heart Technique emphasizes balance. Right and wrong are not that important in the eyes of the emperor. What is important is what you gain from the events."
"And everyone has selfish desires, and those who have no desires and no desires are the most terrifying."
"In addition, you have no right now, maybe in the future, because the emperor hopes that you will have it, so that you will be a qualified crown prince. The emperor now has eight princes, and there will be more than a dozen, twenty, and even more, the father and son of the Tian family, and the brothers of the Tian family, are born to be intoxicated with power and tend to benefit, and will not be as pure as ordinary people. True friendship can be made, but the most indestructible is the alliance with the root of interest and emotions. You are the crown prince, and you must be stable yourself. No matter how many brothers there are, the emperor always hopes that his sons can be friendly and respectful and not have disputes. As the crown prince, as the heir, you can only be satisfied by treating other princes well."
Du Lide quietly in Yinreng's ears, and earnestly instructed: "But the emperor is an emperor after all, and he himself has the heart of power. Your honor and honor all come from the emperor. You are the crown prince, and if there is no big mistake, you will be the next emperor. Since ancient times, those who have been deposed and died have been deposed because of unfilial piety. When you have arisen in the heart of power several years later, remember that the father-son relationship must be greater than your selfish desires, so that you can stay awake. Perhaps by then, the old minister has become a handful of loess buried underground. If you are fascinated by power in the future, even if you can remember one or two of what the old minister said today, you will benefit endlessly."
When Du Lide said, he whispered softly to Yinreng's ears, and the heat sprayed on his earlobes, making Yinreng shudder.
When he suddenly raised his head and looked into Du Lide's deep and wise eyes, many of which were expected to be kind and could not be said in words.
Two days was not enough for Yinreng to learn the "Anti-Sutra" thoroughly with Du Lide, but Du Lide took the risk to him, and he received the hopes of it.
He even hints at the obscure old saying: If you don’t rebel or betray the emperor, even if you make a huge mistake, you will not cause any death.
Du Lide has traveled more roads in his life than Yinreng has eaten. The future he has realized and foresighted is not impossible.
Yinreng nodded obediently and told Du Lide: "Don't worry, Master, you understand your hard work. You are a good master, Baocheng loves you the most!"
"Wow," Du Lide was slightly stunned. He gave good advice, but he didn't expect Yinreng to listen much, but he didn't expect the little guy to repay him with the greatest enthusiasm, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Your Highness, you don't have to say this so much. If you can understand you, you should be more implicit."
"Master Du is leaving, Gu doesn't want to leave any regrets. You understand your teachings, I am not stupid." Yinreng laughed and quietly told Du Lide that there is good news: "Maybe Taiwan can be pacified in the past year. There is no threat from rebel forces along the coast. Khan Ama plans to open a trade port!"
"The court is important to the court, and the old ministers no longer participate. However, if the maritime ban is lifted, it will be long-term benefits for the Qing Dynasty," Du Lide smiled and stroked his glasses, and said to Yinreng: "The old minister has a son, named Gongjun, currently the Censor of Jiangxi, Guangxin Prefecture, and his grandson has good academic studies. Maybe he is expected to pass the imperial examination in the future. All the ministers learn from the old ministers, and they can only use it for a while. Your Highness will do his job in the future. If you need help, your descendants can all use it for you."
This is this... This is giving away my son for free...
[It is worthy of being the favorite master of the children. Although you only have one master, Master Du also truly loves you. You are his favorite prince. Although the child is still young and does not have the intention to manage his own connections, if you want to make trouble in the future, you will definitely need people to work.] Yinreng's eyes lit up: "Thank you Master Du!"
The manuscript "The Records of Emperor Taizong" written by Du Lide tells the history of his ancestor Huang Taiji during his reign. After he left, Kangxi ordered people to print the book and give Yinreng another volume, so that he could finish reading it carefully.
Yinreng was looking forward to the speed of the pearl in his palm. He was deeply trapped in the fire and could not watch cartoons. When will Khan Ama remember Brother Tutu?
Finally, after Yinreng waited for ten days, Du Lide had already left, and Nalan Mingzhu finally made a move. He asked someone to lead Kangxi to the Shangshu room and saw Yinzhi have excellent academic performance in Shangshu room, calm and generous, and have the demeanor of the eldest son. He was praised by the teacher, in order to make Kangxi realize that he had a grown son.
Yinzhi had a striking sword-browed eyebrows. He looked like a man at a young age. What's more important is that his height began to grow rapidly. Kangxi didn't see his eldest son for a while, so he rushed up again.
Nalan Mingzhu also asked Concubine Hui to find an opportunity to swear by the pillow with the emperor. Concubine Hui did not want her son to compete for it, and she sent the message from her family to her left ear and her right ear.
On Kangxi's side, because Yinreng stirred up the flames, he really considered taking the eldest prince to learn practical things.
Later, the emperor issued an edict: I will go to Guandong to travel east and order the eldest son Yinzhi and the crown prince Yinreng to accompany him.
Nalan Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and secretly praised Huifei's ability to blow the wind beside her pillow. She said to her second son Kuixu's teacher, Wu Zhaoqian: "Huifei still has some status in the emperor's heart. Although she is silent in the harem, her status is actually stable. Only then can she not appear in front of others and appear to be invincible with the world. This is great wisdom."
On the other hand, Yinreng said to his confidants such as Madam Xu and Yuzhu: "Ming Xiang is deeply aware of the heart of being alone. Although he always avoids being alone, he can actually be the 'right-hand man' of doing things for the same thing."
The right-hand man, of course, is Nalan Mingzhu and Soetu.
Madam Xu's face was strange. I don't know if she should smile, Nalan Mingzhu was "planned" by His Highness again, or if she should worry that His Highness still regards the "Pearl in the Palm" as a treasure without any defense. His Highness is helping the eldest prince now, but she doesn't know whether it's good or bad. Will the two brothers have a good relationship in the future like they did when they were young? Nalan Mingzhu is ambitious and he has bad intentions towards His Highness!
As a loyal dog following Queen Hesheli, Madam Xu had some way to contact the Hesheli clan. She angrily ordered someone to tell Soetu: "His prince was bewitched by Nalan Mingzhu and helped the eldest prince to join the cabinet. Is there nothing that Suo Xiang wants to say?"
Madam Xu was very frustrated with the family of Empress Suetu. Whenever she followed His Highness the Crown Prince, she heard the little prince say "Nalan Mingzhu is the pearl in her hand" and "Mr. Wang is the treasure", Madam Xu felt anxious.
Alas, Your Highness has never said that Soetu is a treasure!
The author has something to say:
[Note]: The introduction of the book "Anti-Classic" is quoted from Baidu Encyclopedia.
"Siku Quanshu·(Long and Short Sutra) Summary" compiled by Ji Xiaolan says: "This book analyzes the situation and its words are probably derived from the traitors, so it is named "Long and Short."
"Anti-Classic" was written by Zhao Rui, a native of the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. "Anti-Classic" "does not judge heroes by success or failure", got rid of the traditional fixed pattern of evaluating historical figures with loyalty and treacherousness, and made a comprehensive explanation and summary of the wisdom and power techniques before the Tang Dynasty with the perspective of development of dialectical materialism, and truly reproduced historical events vividly, reminding people to "know both one and the other two" about anyone and thing, and not to "only know the right and not the opposite", and truly recognize people and abilities, and to be good at responsibilities.
There is "Zizhi Tongjian" in history, which is well known to everyone. But many people do not know that since the Tang and Song dynasties, there have been two books that have always been a compulsory reference book for leaders' political education: one is "Zizhi Tongjian" which is highly praised by monarchs and ministers throughout the ages; and the other is the "Anti-Sutra" that is not well-known.
The overall framework of "Anti-Classic" takes strategy as the classics, history as the latitude, intertwined and versatile, and becomes a masterpiece. The translated and annotated master's profound knowledge of ancient and modern Chinese makes the writings of "Anti-Classic" as flowing and easy to understand. The previous writings of classics, history and literature quoted in the book are almost all included, and the bibliography that has been scattered today, such as "Yuqian Jing" and "Mo Ji" by Zhang Wei, a native of Wu. "Anti-Classic" combines political science, strategy, talent and sociology, and provides shocking commercial theory and warning historical lessons to provide real-life thinkers, politicians, military strategists and industrialists with infinite vitality. The book is full of insightful and practical suggestions, which are easy to understand, concise and thought-provoking. The book "Anti-Classic" has the three values of literature, historical materials, and mirror.
