Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace, South Study Room.

Emperor Kangxi, who had returned to Beijing, was holding a rosewood stick about eight feet long with exquisite wood grain carvings on both ends and looking at it carefully.

This stick is the so-called Confucian dragon-headed stick for protecting Dharma!

After looking at it for a while, Kangxi turned his attention to the twelve Black Iron Holy Orders placed on an imperial desk covered with yellow cloth.

The so-called black iron is actually meteorite, and some were collected in the Imperial Household Office of Emperor Kangxi. When Burney came to Beijing to rob, he took away all the gold, silver, silk, and satin in the House of Internal Affairs, but he did not He didn't touch the dark meteorite, nor the huanghuali collected inside.

So Emperor Kangxi asked Nalan Mingzhu to choose huanghuali and meteorite iron from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make the dragon head stick, Shenggong Order.

After reading Dragon Head Stick and Shenggong's Order, Kangxi started to read Nalan Pearl again... This guy did not wear court clothes today, but wore a black satin stand-up collared gown with a thick tie around his waist. A black cotton belt with a large folding fan inserted into the belt.

And Mingzhu's head is bare, with nothing left except a braid with a money rat tail, and the flower feather on top has gone to nowhere?

Kang Mazi frowned and said, "Mingzhu, are you dressed like the five Confucian masters?"

It turns out that Mingzhu is the chief among the five Confucian leaders appointed by Kangxi!

During this period, under the supervision of Kang Mazi, the establishment of Confucianism was progressing very quickly... This was all done by designing the "uniform" of Confucianism!

Of course, the Confucian uniforms cannot be made according to the style of Confucius. How can the Qing Dynasty shave their hair and change clothes? Although Emperor Kangxi still does not think that shaving his hair and changing clothes can strengthen the rule of the Qing Dynasty, he knows At this time, the Qing Dynasty cannot give in on such a major issue as shaving one's hair and changing clothes.

Because once they give in on this issue, the people and gentry under the Qing rule will feel that the Qing Dynasty is weak, and they will fall faster and more completely against the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, in this wave of Kangxi's New Deal, although there were two major policies to win over the powerful gentry, the "tax farming system" and "imperial power not going to the countryside", Kangxi did not implement the two policies of "shaving your hair and changing clothes" and "literary prison". There is no concession at all.

Moreover, Emperor Kangxi was still trying his best to maintain the privileges of the old and new Eight Banners!

Although he was no longer able to pay the banner salaries to the Eight Banners disciples, the rations were still issued, and each Eight Banners disciples would receive two plots of land around Beijing and Shengjing, each with an area of ​​at least one hundred acres.

These Eight Banners land can be cultivated by oneself or rented, and it is tax-free. In addition, any Han people who are willing to go outside the customs to farm land for the Eight Banners disciples can be exempted from paying a small amount, and all previous debts will be exempted, and they will be exempted regardless of whether they are inside the customs. No matter how much debt is owed, the creditor will never go out to collect it.

It can be said that Emperor Kangxi worked very hard in safeguarding the interests of the Eight Banners. It was precisely because of this effort that the disciples of the Eight Banners were still willing to support him, the Qing emperor who fought repeatedly in the north.

Hearing Emperor Kangxi's question, Mingzhu quickly knelt down and said: "When I return to the emperor, I will put on a black melon-skin hat, which will be the dress of a Confucian disciple.

In addition, the Confucian disciples will be divided into two branches, the civil and the martial arts. The literary ones are responsible for teaching, and the warriors are responsible for defending the Tao. The symbol of the literary Confucianism is the big folding fan, and the symbol of the martial Confucianism is the jujube stick."

Kangxi nodded and asked again: "How to stir up trouble in Jiangnan?"

"If I return to the emperor, I plan to divide the chaos in Jiangnan into two parts... One is to stop the exam before the Nanjing competition next spring; the other is to launch a rebellion against the spring tax in Tongcheng, Changzhou and Shaoxing.

And then stir up trouble."

"Who is going to the south?" Kangxi asked again.

"Zhou Peigong and Li Guangdi would sneak into Nanjing to instigate a boycott of exams, Zhang Ying went to Tongcheng to incite tax resistance and uprising, Gao Shiqi went to Shaoxing to launch tax resistance and uprising, and Zhao Shenqiao went to Changzhou to launch an uprising."

Li Guangdi, Zhang Ying, Gao Shiqi, and Zhao Shenqiao were all young talents whom Emperor Kangxi trusted very much. This time they were all tricked by Zhou Peigong!

Kangxi then asked: "What about the question book for requesting additional assignments?"

In fact, this is what matters most!

Emperor Kangxi is now anxiously waiting for money!

Provoking Confucian internal strife and using Kong Yuqi's influence to incite the southern gentry to rebel was just to cause trouble for Zhu Heji. He was not so naive as to think that Zhu Heji would not be able to handle the rebellion of these corrupt Confucians...

When it comes to rebellion, Zhu Heji is ranked second. Who else in the world dares to be ranked first?

That is the ancestor of the rebel world!

Therefore, what Kangxi really hoped for was to re-strengthen his New Army, which was about to collapse.

By summarizing the experience and lessons of the previous stage of the war, Kangxi felt that his new army must be equipped with a large number of flintlock muskets, high-quality gunpowder mines, fast-moving artillery, and a group of long-distance snipers.

The sharpshooters who killed Ming army grenadiers... Of course, powerful and flexible cavalry are still indispensable.

This series of military reforms are all funded by money!

And money had to be scraped from the Han people, and Kangxi didn't want to be blamed for extortionate expropriations, so he had to push the Kong family out of Qufu to offend the world.

"It's already been drawn up," Mingzhu said. "When Kong Yuqi comes to see you later, he will personally hand it to the Long Live Lord."

"Okay!" Emperor Kangxi nodded repeatedly, "Then let Kong Yuqi come to see you!"

...

Kong Yuqi, who is only eighteen years old this year, is already waiting to be summoned outside the door of the South Study Room.

To be honest, he really wants to die now!

Because he knew that Qufu Confucianism, which had been passed down for more than sixty generations, would be destroyed in his hands.

He knew that the reason why the Confucian clan in Qufu could be so prosperous for so many generations, apart from the golden signboard of Confucius, was because they were useless and were not a threat to anyone. They kowtowed to everyone who came. This was how they kept their family and their wealth for a long time.

.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is no exaggeration to say that the greatest use of the Kong family in Qufu is that it is useless!

But now Emperor Kangxi wants to use the Confucian family in Qufu, and use it extensively. He wants to compete with Zhu Heji, the self-proclaimed Confucian saint in Nanjing. He wants to use the reputation and wealth of the Confucian family to organize Confucianism and also

We want to make Confucianism look like a mafia gang...

This is to push the Kong family in Qufu into a pit of fire and towards a dead end!

If things continue like this, the Qufu Kong family will not only offend Zhu Heji to death, but they will also become the banner of a bunch of black Confucianism, making them almost as good as the third prince Zhu... Where is the way to survive?

But the problem is, this kind of nonsense is what Emperor Kangxi meant!

What made Kong Yuqi even more depressed was that Emperor Kangxi also put the Confucian family's more than 200,000 acres of sacrificial land and academic fields under the name of Confucianism with a stroke of his pen... Yansheng Gongfu and Confucianism had another conflict

They are not the same thing. How could this be happening? Does this mean that Qufu and Konglin will be under the control of Confucianism in the future?

In addition, Kangxi actually asked Kong Yuqi to send more "Confucian donations" to the people of Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, and Zhili in the name of defending Confucian orthodoxy...

After co-writing, the Qufu Kong family took the blame for the Qing Dynasty?

Just when Kong Yuqi was about to collapse with sadness, Huang Zhisheng, who had brought him to Beijing, suddenly whispered in his ear: "Shenggong, Dengzhou..."

Fortunately, there is still Dengzhou!

Hope suddenly arose in Kong Yuqi's heart... Fortunately, there was still Dengzhou to go to!

At worst, he could hide his name and become a rich man in Dengzhou.

Thinking of this, Kong Yuqi's spirit suddenly returned to him, so he quickly walked into the south study room with his question book and robe, and bowed three times and kowtowed to Kangxi: "Slave Yan Shenggong Kong Yuqi

, Your Majesty’s greetings!”

Kangxi's voice immediately sounded: "Kong Yuqi, from today on, your title will be one less character. Don't call yourself Shenggong, just Shenggong!"
