Chapter 334: I don’t care if you are right or not, I will put the big hat on you anyway
The good father Kangxi immediately arranged two princesses for him, and made it clear that the task was important, and the prosperity of the Aisin-Gioro family's offspring was equally important.
The third, twelfth and fifteenth brother, none of them can escape.
The Third Prince and the Twelfth Prince were fearless. Not only did they kowtow to thank the Emperor on the spot, they also had the guts to ask the Khan to choose a beautiful one for them.
It was the Fifteenth Prince who smiled bitterly and begged for mercy.
Kangxi was so angry that he glared at her: "What? You haven't even gotten married yet, but you want to keep your virginity for your wife?"
With that expression that says 'If you dare to say yes, you'll be in trouble', what else can the Fifteenth Prince dare to say!
He knelt down reflexively and begged Khan to calm down.
Yin Xuan was stunned on the spot: [No way, no way? Really, other people's mothers-in-law are evil, and our Aixinjueluo family has evil fathers-in-law? Are you so unwilling to see the couple have a harmonious relationship? ]
The sudden accusation made Kangxi confused.
What's even worse is that the little guy is eager to try it out. He must let his father, the Khan, experience the medical shock and tell him that indulgence will hurt his body.
Kangxi was so frightened that he changed his reprimand into teasing, and quickly helped the Fifteenth Prince up with his own hands: "You are too easily teased, your father-in-law just teased you a few times, is it worth it for you to be like this?"
"If you don't know this, you would think I'm some kind of evil eunuch!"
"Harmony between husband and wife is a good thing, Khan Ama, and I hope you can have a harmonious relationship with Guarjia clan and have more legitimate sons and daughters."
Fifteenth Prince:!!!
One second he was trembling with fear at his brother's arrogant voice, and the next second he benefited greatly from it.
He was so happy that he giggled: "Don't worry, my son will do his best."
Kangxi's mouth twitched slightly: "There is no need to work too hard. We should focus on the business. Otherwise, the other princes will be granted the title of prince or county prince, while this kid is still at the level of Beizi. With so many children, it will be a problem to even raise them."
"When your fourth brother goes to the northwest, you can help your second brother, the crown prince, with the land tax and land tax collection!"
Fifteenth Prince was too lazy to accept the offer. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard his younger brother whisper, "Even if Fifteenth Prince doesn't care about his own honor, he should consider his future sister-in-law more."
"Think about it, other sisters-in-law all ride on red-wheeled carriages when they enter the palace, and have their own sedan chairs. But my future sister-in-law is only entitled to a wheelbarrow, or even just a walking pole. Not only will she suffer in the cold weather, but she will also have trouble holding her head up in front of her sisters-in-law, right?"
Ah this...
The Fifteenth Prince pondered for a moment, then knelt down in front of his Khan Ama and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to complete the task."
Although Kangxi was surprised, who doesn't hope that his son can make progress?
He quickly smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, if you can be diligent and down-to-earth. As long as you make some achievements, I will definitely reward you according to your merits and not let you be inferior to others in the slightest."
"Thank you, my son, Khan Ama!"
After getting Kangxi's approval, the Fifteenth Prince smiled happily and became very hardworking.
Concubine Mi was so happy that she kept sighing to Yinzhen: "If I had known this would happen, I should have asked your Khan Ama to arrange a marriage for him in the last selection."
Yin Xuan laughed: "That won't work. There was no future sister-in-law in the last session."
"Hahaha, that's true."
The mother and daughter sang in unison, making the Fifteenth Prince feel embarrassed. His handsome face turned red as fire, but his eyes were filled with expectations for the future.
That feeling was just like the eldest prince waiting for a reply from Kangxi.
I don’t know when he will come, nor do I know what his purpose will be when he comes.
Personally, he hoped to be allowed to press on with the victory and directly defeat the entire Tsarist Russia.
But every time he mentioned it, his fourth sister would look at him as if he was a fool: "It was said that by the end of this year, they would fight the Russo-Turkish War with Turkey, and Peter the Great led the army in person but was beaten."
"We can just take advantage of their absence and attack them when they are unprepared, and achieve twice the result with half the effort. Why do we have to give up the easy and do the difficult, leaving the chance to fishermen to others?"
The eldest prince scratched his head and said, "You are the fisherman who has the advantage. I finally led the troops out, so I want to have fun. God knows if I will have the chance to come out again after returning to the court this time."
In response, Ke Jing just smiled and said, "Don't worry, no matter how Khan Ama arranges it, he will not let us return in a short time. We have to stay in the Western Regions for at least one or two years."
The eldest prince looked hesitant, but was eventually dragged into making a bet.
He was also a man who loved to watch the fun and was quick to drag all the brothers nearby into the water.
Since then, we brothers have been looking forward to letters from the capital.
Let’s see what Khan Ama’s rules are.
But no matter how hard they waited, nothing came. Their necks became a little longer from waiting.
But in this matter, you really can’t blame Kangxi for being nagging.
There is really too much opposition in the court.
The next morning, the Fourth Prince presented a petition to the court. He said that in order to completely solve the problem in the Western Regions and prevent the Junggar incident from happening again, he was willing to go to the Western Regions in person to preside over the issue of converting the natives into officials.
The old Khanate was to be abolished completely and directly, and there was no plan to set up chieftains or engage in any system of tributary control.
Instead, like many areas in the Central Plains, it directly established three levels of province, prefecture, and county, and was governed by officials sent by the imperial court, making the Western Regions a complete part of the Central Plains.
Kangxi was very pleased and renamed the Western Regions Xinjiang on the spot, meaning the newly returned homeland of the Western Regions.
Civil and military officials knelt down to congratulate him on his unprecedented achievement in the past eight or nine years.
But when it came to the issue of land reform, opposition voices began to grow louder.
First of all, the Western Regions, oh no, now it should be called Xinjiang. That place is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it is difficult for the court to exercise actual control over it.
Besides, the area is vast and sparsely populated, with desert, snow-capped mountains and rolling sea of sand.
The value was not so great in the eyes of the court officials, but there were many intertwined forces. Turpan and Yarkand were once independent countries.
Unless the imperial army is stationed there for a long time, what's the harm in sending temporary officials?
Either he would collude with the local tyrants or die unexpectedly for various reasons, making it difficult to truly control the entire Western Region.
A long-term and large-scale garrison may not completely solve the problem. Over time, more problems will definitely arise. For example, a general will regard the Western Regions as his own property.
Once the Central Plains weakens slightly, at best they will be out of control, at worst they will turn around and kill their master.
Similar examples are not uncommon, Your Majesty, please think twice.
As he spoke, he actually went from not agreeing with the policy of turning the Western Regions into a state of Han Chinese, in order to avoid more conflicts caused by unrealistic things, to advising Fu Ning'an to return to the court with the princes and princesses.
Good guy.
Seeing this context, Yin Xuan was so angry that he said, "So, just as the smoke of war has just cleared, are you ministers worried that my brothers and sisters will raise their own troops?"
[It doesn’t matter if you are right or not, I will put the blame on you first!]
[Convince Kangxi not to recall the army, or at least not all of it. When the Russian Empire fights the third Russo-Turkish War at the end of the year, we will have convenient conditions to pick peaches. Hehe, what a good opportunity to revise the Treaty of Nerchinsk, we must not miss it.]
