Clearance: Reset History

In April of the 37th year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi officially ordered a ban on smoking, appointed Isang A, a scholar of the Wenhuadian University, as the imperial envoy, and went south to collect and destroy opium.

Yinzhen also went south with the two gentlemen. These gentlemen were all the shopkeepers of major companies at the time, and they were very good at management. Make a line with the merchant, while Yinzhen is purely to gain experience through contacts.By the way, Yinzhen went south again to avoid her starling.Because Yinhu doesn’t know what’s going on recently, he always stays with him, although the starling ignores the fourth brother and always stays with me, it’s very happy, but the starling always talks about studying hard, and asks himself to write a five-year plan It's just too scary.In order to avoid these, Yinzhen ran away in a hurry.

Although Yinreng didn't get the job, after all, he started from him.He originally wanted to ask for an order to continue to follow, but Kangxi refused. Instead, he stayed and asked him to take another job in the Ministry of Rites.

Yinfeng thought that he really left the capital too often this year, and the princess concubine had just given birth to his second son not long ago, so it was okay to stay in the capital, so he bowed his head and accepted the order.

In June, concubine Zhang Jia died, and concubine Min was pursued.In September, Yinhu, the king of Shenjun, shaved his hair during the hundred days of mourning and was sent to Baylor.

As soon as the news came out, everyone lamented Concubine Min's long favor and regretted Ba Ye's rashness.But fortunately, Yinhu didn't have much communication with the court, so it didn't have much influence.

Concubine Hui was a little dumbfounded when she heard the news, not to mention that the first imperial concubine who was buried with Jingling in the history of the Qing Dynasty passed away a year early. Well, why is it transferred to my Xiaoba now?What's more, after the hair-cutting turmoil caused by the first batch of overseas students returning to China more than ten years ago, hair has lost its strong symbolic meaning in the past. For example, when the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang died, Kangxi's hair cut This move did not cause much sensation, so it is reasonable to say that Yinhu's move should not have angered Kangxi so much... Even if Kangxi loved Concubine Min very much, he could not help but be flawed, but winning the title would be too much.

The more she thought about it, the more something was wrong, Concubine Hui hurriedly instructed someone to call Ba Ye—Master Liang is sick.

——Wei Shi has a sensitive temperament, so when he hears about this, he will naturally get worried and get angry, and then he will get sick.

Yinhu knew what Concubine Hui was wondering about, but he had planned this matter a long time ago, and he didn't want to tell others, he just comforted Concubine Hui that nothing happened and reassured her, and he didn't say anything else.As for Wei Shi, I don't know what Yinhu said to her, but after Yinhu left, people who hadn't had rice water for a day resumed eating immediately.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Hui felt a little uncomfortable, but after all, she is a mother and child, and there is nothing wrong with avoiding herself in some things, so she put this matter aside, and only sent someone to tell Yinhu to be careful.

After Yinzhen got the news, he wanted to go to Yinhu's mansion to ask him for clarification, but there was still a thirteenth brother at hand to appease, and he finally coaxed the thirteenth brother who was so sad that he was having nightmares to sleep again , when he hurried to Yinhu's mansion, he was told by the guards guarding the gate that Ba Ye had closed the door to thank the guests, and no one had disappeared.

Yinzhen vaguely felt that this matter was strange, and Xiao Ba's attitude was even more strange, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he could only go back to his house with deep confusion.

After a while, when the matter gradually subsided, there was another news from Qianqing Palace - two days before Ba Ye seized the title, when Ba Ye greeted Long Live Lord alone, there were some palace guards outside Hearing the sounds of quarreling and throwing bowls coming from inside, a new set of porcelain was brought into the Qianqing Palace that night.

After arriving here, everyone understands, maybe how Ba Ye offended Lord Long Live in Qianqing Palace, not only made Lord Long Live angry by throwing a cup, but also took away his title in the name of Concubine Min - just like this, I don't know Long live Lord, does he really love Concubine Min, or does he really despise Ba Ye?

——After all, it’s really disgusting to use people even after they’re dead.

But no matter what happened, Ba Ye seemed to have fallen out of favor.

In the future, Kangxi would reward Zhu elder brothers from time to time, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but jjj ten was missed. There are reasons for Jiu Ye to go out and ten elder brothers to disappear, but Ba Ye can only be explained by falling out of favor. .

But at this time, Kangxi didn't care about these things. Ethan's opium sales in the south were not smooth. Although there were connections from various big shopkeepers, those opium suppliers were hiding very deep and never showed up. The confiscated opium was less than [-]% of the expected opium to be paid, and according to the shopkeepers of Fushouzhai, those suppliers had deep eyes and high noses, blond hair and blue eyes, and extremely white skin. They were no different from Westerners.

Due to overseas trade in Guangdong, Fujian and other places in recent years, many foreigners have settled in major cities in various provinces.Ethan and others speculate that these people are most likely hiding in the consulate, and may even be the opium sale led by the consulates.

Even though Ethan'a held the orders of the Qing court, those Westerners would make false claims with them, talk about rights, and use various methods to prevent imperial envoys from entering the embassy for search.

In the end, Ethan Ah was forced by the situation and had to report the situation to Kangxi.

Kangxi didn't take this matter too seriously at first, no matter which country in the West is too far away from the Qing Dynasty, but after getting the news, he immediately realized that the Western countries attached great importance to this matter, so he finally stopped being polite , Immediately issued an announcement to the embassies of various countries in Beijing to put pressure on the consulates.As for those who really did not cooperate, Kangxi ordered to mobilize the nearby navy or green flags to break through directly with force - since you don't want to give face, then don't give it!

Immediately afterwards, Kangxi issued a warning to the embassies: the Qing Dynasty rejected opium.For ships transporting opium, any port in the Qing Dynasty is forbidden to pass through.Once found carrying opium, the Qing Dynasty will punish them severely.

——For the last sentence, there is a country that doesn't care about it. It once tried to adulterate opium in ordinary tobacco. A retaliatory tariff of [-]% was added to the general tariff, which lasted for more than a year.Faced with the vigorous and resolute actions of the Qing Dynasty and the huge demand for oriental commodities, there were basically no countries that dared to take risks.

The opium problem has almost been solved, but the root cause of the opium problem is far from being solved.Because in the final analysis, this is all a matter of benefit distribution.Not only aristocratic ministers, but also ordinary ordinary people can feel the improvement of their lives since the opening of the sea ban. It can be seen how much gold and silver the Qing Dynasty has absorbed from the West in the past ten years.

It is said that it is not easy for Westerners to get gold and silver, so they must be dissatisfied with this status quo.

But to say that these dignitaries and elders are willing to give up the wealth they have acquired... even fools probably would not be willing, so there is no way to solve this root cause, but for Western countries, the Qing Dynasty cannot continue to be passive.

At this time, Babeile, who was demoted from the county prince to Baylor, wrote a letter asking himself to be the ambassador of the Qing Dynasty to France.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Many people want to go to Babeile to inquire about Babeile's intentions, but Yinhu and his brothers have already gone to Changchun Garden with Kangxi and the Empress Dowager.

In the evening, Kangxi, who had been reading the excerpts in Qingxi Bookstore for a day, summoned Yinhu to have a talk and rest.

After Yinhu came, he met Li first, and then sat down at Kangxi's signal. He probably knew what Kangxi wanted to talk to him, and he was not in a hurry, just waiting for Kangxi to speak first.

Kangxi also saw this, and couldn't help laughing: "Old Ba, have you really decided?"

"Since my son has already signed up, there is absolutely no reason to take it back. My son doesn't want to renege on his promise and get fat. My son has grown so big, he should do something for Khan Ama."

Hearing this business-like tone, Kangxi inexplicably wanted to sigh: "...Why do I feel that you, Old Ba, are so estranged from me?"

Yinhu gave Kangxi a surprised look: "You are the father of my son, you are both emperor and father, my son respects you, so naturally I dare not be presumptuous."

Kangxi thought about Yinreng's appearance at this time, and still felt that this son was unfamiliar with him. After thinking about it again, it seemed that the eldest, third, and fourth were not very close to him, so he remained silent on this issue again. .

Yinhu had long felt that there was not much to say between himself and the emperor, but Kangxi only realized it, and was naturally a little uncomfortable, so he had nothing to say: "There is also the matter of your mother-use your life's glory Is it worth it for your Erniangwei clan to be freed from criminal records?"

——The truth of the day when Yinhu angered Kangxi was that Yinhu pleaded for the Wei family at the price of the title of county king, and got rid of his crimes.What Abu Nai committed was not a felony in the first place, and it is not difficult to get rid of the crime, but there is always a price to pay.

Hearing this, Yinhu's eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her eyes and said, "Where is it worth it? Compared with Er Niang... how can glory and wealth be considered?"

——Prosperity and wealth are just icing on the cake for me, but getting rid of my sins is just a gift in the snow, which is more important, and what I don't understand?

It's just that the imperial father in front of him, who had always been aloof, might spend his entire life without knowing how much criticism and guidance that girl from Xinzheku caused in the harem, so Yinhu didn't want to explain so much to him.Hui'eniang was right. The emperor's father, the emperor's father, is the emperor first, and then the father. Before talking about his father's responsibility, first think about whether this responsibility conflicts with his emperor's responsibility.As a father, there is nothing wrong with treating his son's mother a little better, no matter how unbearable this woman's status is; but the emperor is different, what a stain it is for him to favor the daughter of a criminal minister and a lowly family!Yinhu often wondered, why didn't the emperor just take a bowl of medicine and send him and Erniang off the road before they landed?Yexing's mother has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world.

The conversation between Yinhu and Kangxi didn't end until midnight. As Yinhu walked to his room, he thought about the strategies that Kangxi could adopt in the future according to the situation in the West, and was once again silently proud of having such a wise father. ——It’s just that such a father can’t make his children happy.

As soon as he walked to his room, someone suddenly walked out of the shadows. Yinhu was startled, looked up, and exclaimed: "Ah brother four?" Yinzhen's face was darker than the bottom of the pot, and he directly pulled With Yinhu's wrist, he slammed the door and entered the back room, blocking all the serving servants from outside.
