After careful deliberation, after Yinzhen returned home, he compiled and reported everything he had done in Longke during the day. However, it seemed that he had been left behind, and he could not wait for Kangxi until the middle of the month. The imperial approval came back. However, the preparations could not be delayed. Yinzhen ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to follow Fei Yanggu's previous funeral ceremony and submit the articles of incorporation to the bank. After about a few days, the bank sent back the approval and a copy of Kangxi's letter. The reply was approved, but what is intriguing is that Kangxi's decree also said, "This is for the uncle, and it will be handled in accordance with the rules of the uncle (Tong Guogang, Tong Guowei's brother)." In this way, although it is the same as the duke style However, this fully reveals Kangxi's consideration of the loyalty and purity of the Tong family and his closeness to his mother's family. When Hou Yinzhen met Di Chao, although there was no shortage of surprises, he also thought of Tong Guowei's thoughts. I can't help but feel a lot of sadness.
Soon, Kangxi returned to Beijing from Tangquan. For some unknown reason, he suddenly changed his mind on the way back to Luan, and it was quite rare for him to return to the palace to stay. The palace was far less warm and comfortable than the hot springs, and the emperor's health had not yet fully recovered, so he had to ride on a carriage wherever possible. At the Sutra Banquet in the Wenhua Hall on this day, Wang Xuling was using the imperial compendium of the "Collection of Legends of the Book of Classics" compiled under the present to express to the ministers, "Aspiration is the foundation of advancing morality, and all the saints and sages of the past started from it." This. Wherever one aspires, there is nothing far away; where one aspires, there is nothing that cannot be reached. When one aspires to the Tao, justice and principle are the masters, and material desires cannot be moved away. Therefore, one bases oneself on virtue, and one wanders on benevolence. When it comes to art, one should never lose the order and importance of importance, take both the fundamental and the fundamental into consideration, cultivate both internal and external aspects, and be calm and relaxed"
This process only lasted for about half an hour, but the emperor looked a little uninterested. Hearing this, Kangxi made a gesture and interrupted Wang Xuling who was speaking, "In everything, you must have a right heart. If you are not upright yourself, how can you be upright? I have also said these words to my brothers, hoping that they can restrain themselves and be benevolent." After saying that, Kangxi was carefully supported by two eunuchs and stood up on the throne, " Since I came to the throne, I have worked hard and cautiously for decades to achieve peace in the world and peace in the world. I still work hard and tirelessly to this day. As a master, you must have this determination to keep upright and balanced. The desire for material things never changes the firmness of one¡¯s ambition.¡±
Kangxi's words seemed to come from his thoughts, and he was not following Wang Xuling's words to admonish the ministers. Everyone present was either a trusted minister or a handsome young man, all of whom were highly regarded in the court, such as Ma Qi, Xu Yuanmeng, etc., who were dozens of attendants. They have been close to senior ministers for many years; such as Wang Juan, Wang Xuling, etc. are well-educated scholars. Even Song Zhu, Xiao Yongzao, etc. are also ministers serving in the central government. They heard the emperor's words that revealed his true feelings, which really made them admire him. While praising them, they couldn't help but go around in circles for a few more times, each with their own thoughts. When they stood up, they looked at each other in confusion.
"That's it for today. By the way, Tingxi, didn't you mention in the booklet last time that the "Comprehensive Map of the Imperial Palace" has been completed? I don't have to wait any longer, I'll go and take a look today. "Jiang Tingxi is the younger brother of Jiang Chenxi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. Not only is he excellent in knowledge and poetry, but he is also particularly good at calligraphy and painting. The flowers, birds, orchids and bamboos in his paintings are all lifelike, humorous and elegant, and are highly praised by famous artists. Zhang Tingyu, who was also born in the Hanlin Academy, was deeply influenced by Wen Duan Gong's family education. He was diligent and self-disciplined, and usually behaved well and rarely spoke. This was very different from his sharp and free manner. Therefore, among the cabinet bachelors, Jiang Tingxi was the most outstanding scholar. As the first person to be handsome, elegant and quiet, in front of the Holy Master, the two complement each other even more.
After listening to Kangxi's question, Jiang Tingxi naturally accepted the order and led Kangxi forward for a while. The ministers followed him to the Jiyi Hall of the West Side Hall of Wenhua Hall. What is displayed in the Jiyi Hall is the original general map of the "Comprehensive Map of the Imperial Palace". The whole map is supported by nanmu brackets on the side of the hall. Except for the mountains, waterways, and corners of prefectures and counties in the map, they are all drawn according to actual distance measurements. In addition, it is divided according to the method of Western longitude and latitude, which is indeed something that has never happened before. The officials came closer and looked at each other, and all of them exclaimed - the pictures range from the famous river Lingdu to the small springs, streams and pools. They are all divided along the mountains, turning down according to the terrain, lingering around, carvings and embroidery are wrong, looking for the source. The review committee is well organized; there are also gates and gates, sea, flood and river defenses, village forts and garrison towers, Yitingjin town, etc. scattered all over the place. Among them, the ability to guard against danger and the ability to sanitation and transportation are all listed in rows and details. .
Jiang Tingxi stood on the side, pointing to the pictures one by one to Kangxi who was sitting on the small shoulder carriage, and said, "Our territory of the Qing Dynasty runs from north to south, starting from the northeast of Kunlun, passing through the Western Border, to Xing'an Mountains, and reaching Yusheng." Beijing, turns south to North Korea and enters the sea; all the way starts from the southeast of Kunlun, passes through Yunnan, Guangxi, Huguang, Jiangxi, east or north, turns to Fujian and Zhejiang and enters the sea. The southeast and northeast are all bounded by the sea; the southwest and northwest are directly bounded by the sea. Return to the various ministries." Kangxi looked along Jiang Tingxi's direction, nodding from time to time. On the one hand, he asked the officials to take a closer look, and on the other hand, he asked, "In the past, the maps were all inconsistent, so what happens this time?"
Jiang Tingxi bowed his hands and replied humbly, "Back to the emperor, I have conducted a detailed survey with the ministers and others. The general map and the maps of the provinces have been verified with the map and geographical records, and there are no mistakes after strict comparison." Seeing Kangxi nod. Acquiescing, Jiang Tingxicai compared the map to the left and right and praised, "The emperor's kindness to Yu Nei not only achieved peace in the world, but also contributed to the peace of the world."The sincerity of exhausting the investigation of things to achieve knowledge. As far as this map is concerned, it is the result of the emperor's intensive research, which lasted more than thirty years, and he ordered his envoys to measure the extremes. The flaws are very small. Compared with the maps published in the past, it can truly be said to have opened up a new area. The completion of the supreme treasure and the announcement of this plan to the world will surely benefit all generations. After saying this, Kangxi showed a very rare smile. He turned around and asked everyone with a smile, "What do you think?" Ma Qi, Wang Juan and others who had participated in the collation also looked over with a smile. They bowed to Kangxi first, and then led them all to kneel and kowtow, "I am very happy to be able to enter this picture respectfully." "
Kangxi just smiled and waved his hands casually. Everyone stood up. Kangxi's eyes fell back to the confluence of the three rivers, fixed on the Qinghai-Tibet region for a long time. Ma Qi and other ministers who discussed politics followed the emperor's wishes, but they did not dare to speak rashly. After waiting for a while, Kangxi reached out and pointed at the important town of Xining. Join forces in Ning'an, advance to Turpan first, and then wait for an opportunity to enter Tibet." "But -" Xu Yuanmeng, who was nearby, felt that something was wrong when he heard this. He just couldn't help but uttered a word, and was stood in front of him. Ma Qi beside him secretly tugged, and Xu Yuanmeng could only stop talking. When he looked at Ma Qi, his eyes still showed the meaning of "advancing for fear of loss." However, facing Xu Yuanmeng's gaze, Ma Qi He turned his head and took a deep look at Kangxi, then shook his head.
