Nov 22, 2022

Relying on his friendship with the emperor, A Xixi ignored Jin Fu, Chen Huang and others at all, and he still did not forget to sue the imperial court, slandering them for not doing anything in the river, and for wantonly collecting money. Naturally, Kangxi did not believe A Xixi's nonsense, and ordered him to make up the shortfall as soon as possible, and left Liangjiang to return to the Imperial Household Department. Unexpectedly, A Xixi put his nose on his face and advocated instead of the emperor to spread the false news that Taiwan would not be attacked.

Kangxi's face changed instantly when he heard the words, and he warned Axixi that if he continued to talk nonsense, he would be punished. At this moment, all the officials were waiting to be summoned. Mingzhu and Suo'etu watched Shi Lang guarding the clouds and saw the moon, and couldn't help making jokes. Shi Lang was straightforward, and when he learned that the emperor was going to recover Taiwan, he immediately grinned stupidly.

Yi Sang'a speaks out against Kangxi, saying that there is not much money left in the household department, and the supply is in short supply. Whether it is the river project or even the Chongwenmen Cannon Factory, he is very embarrassed now that he is going to fight in Taiwan. Kangxi also understands that it is not easy for Ethan A to be the head of the family. Originally, he wanted to revive the palace this year, but after much deliberation, he decided to save some money and let Ethan A and Ji Ruxi discuss it again.

Shi Lang came to see Kangxi in the palace according to the order, and swore loyalty and poison to Qiming. He gradually let go of Zheng Chenggong's bloody revenge for killing his father and brother after these years. Hearing these words, Kangxi was completely at ease. After all, he didn't want Shi Lang to go to Taiwan with personal grievances, and then entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, ordering him to be responsible for training the navy.

On the emperor's birthday, Suo'etu and Mingzhu successively presented congratulatory gifts, nothing more than rare Western gadgets and gold and silver calligraphy and paintings. On the other hand, Jin Fu led people to carry twenty boxes into the palace, and displayed the sand table map of the Changhe River on the spot. This map was made with the efforts of officials from all over the river. The Yellow River is in my heart.

Looking at the mountains and rivers of Cuntu, Kangxi had mixed feelings in his heart, and his heart to regain Taiwan became more determined. That night, a banquet was held in the palace and the ministers were invited to watch the show. Kangxi and Gao Shiqi performed on stage in person. A big drama alluding to the separation of compatriots in the Taiwan Strait finally made many ministers dare not continue to make mistakes, and they all acquiesced in the matter of Taiwan acquisition.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was very pleased that such difficult matters could be easily resolved. In fact, Kangxi understood that even if the ministers agreed to recover Taiwan, it would be due to the emperor's prestige, so he dared not speak out. What's more, the re-use of Shi Lang caused dissatisfaction with the Eight Banners, and the banner owner continued to complain in front of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, thanks to the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang suppressing them all. If you want to stop Youyou's mouth, you have to make achievements, otherwise you will become someone else's talking point sooner or later. Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang hopes that Kangxi will understand this truth.

After the performance, Gao Shiqi was still complacent, thinking that he would definitely be rewarded for accomplishing a great event for the emperor today. However, the emperor already knew about Gao Shiqi's little trick of bribing eunuchs, and the chief eunuch was ordered to remind him to be careful, even if the emperor did not convict him, he might not be ignorant of it.

In order to ensure that Shi Lang's training of sailors would not be disturbed, Chen Huang suggested to Kangxi to choose Hongze Lake, and said that if Shi Lang needed the support of the river, everyone would be bound by it. Shi Lang was straightforward, but fortunately Chen Huang didn't care at all. Kangxi told Shi Lang that as long as he trains sincerely, it doesn't matter five or ten years, and when the time is right, he will directly attack Taiwan.

Jin Fu convened all the river officials to discuss the supply of manpower and material resources. They were mainly on the Gaojiayan project before, and now they can focus on Qingshuitan when they spare time, and deploy the dam construction project as soon as possible. The officials whispered to each other and felt that the project was too huge, why did it go so far.
