    The autumn of Xi's nineteenth year.  Emperor Kangxi left the capital and helped the Empress Dowager Yi to go to the Tangquan Palace in Zunhua to rest.  Zunhua Tangquan has a long history, dating back to the Eastern Expedition of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.  He once stayed and bathed here, and was given the gift to build "Fuquan Temple". Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom often came here during her winter hunting tours.  Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty built a "dressing building" and stayed here while hunting, and built a "Guanyin Hall" and named it "Fuquan Nunnery", which is surrounded by mountains and rivers.  The palace is magnificent.  The scenery is stunning.

    Emperor Kangxi issued the decree a few months ago.  He ordered people to reorganize the palace on a large scale, pave roads and repair steps along the royal road, and plant street trees.  The cement sand required for paving roads was determined by the Ministry of Industry of Kangxi after a comprehensive study of the proportion of lime and sand.  An initial attempt was made.  Along the way from Beijing to Zunhua.  Set up separate small official towns for supply every fifty miles.  Once this motion was proposed at that time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not responsible for the reported costs due to the extremely short construction period after planning.

    However, Emperor Kangxi did not adopt the funding plan of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He did not want the Construction Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to directly undertake the construction. Instead, he ordered Ling Pu to summon all the imperial merchants in Beijing and assigned the project through bidding and the construction party advanced funds in advance.  .  During the construction period of the project, the Ministry of Industry and the Construction Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs organized relevant experts to be on-site for real-time supervision. After the completion of the project within a time limit, officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs inspected and accepted it before it was delivered for use.

    However, the final settlement of the funds for this large-scale and supposedly cost-effective project turned out to be another noisy and beautiful performance.  Everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was dumbfounded because Emperor Kangxi did not pay even a penny and directly auctioned the independent operation and use rights of the small supply towns that had been built along the palace.  In the end, the auction price was converted into the settlement amount for the Tangquan Palace project.

    After careful calculation, the Kangxi family recovered tens of thousands of taels of silver from their money bags, and no official could complain.  The work is not tiring at all.  But it's only for the sake of being upset.

    In previous years, this kind of large-scale project was the most promising project, but this year is unprecedented.  From the beginning to the end, there was no expenditure at all, and no labor, materials, or money were used.  There's no chance of even getting stuck on gas, which is really frustrating.

    After this, there were many small officials who were planning whether to switch jobs to the engineering departments under the major imperial merchants to do business down-to-earth.  After Kangxi indirectly heard some rumors, he was very happy. He really didn't care about the number of officials. The essence of having better troops and simpler administration was to keep capable and capable officials.  Some of the other people who put on a show.  It's better to go to a local place and exercise.

    This project is to build the Zunhua Tangquan Palace.  Kangxi urged her very hard, partly because some people couldn't wait any longer. The Wei family was already three months pregnant, and she would show her pregnancy if she didn't leave the capital.

    Originally, Kangxi said that he wanted to give Wei Liangyi a chance to choose and consider whether to live outside the palace in the future.  However, Kangxi could not bear to let her leave him.  I regretted it the next day.  In his spare time, he would be affectionate with her, hoping that she would also fall in love with him.  Hard to choose.

    Wei Liangyi did struggle for a long time, but from a more thinking perspective, he deliberately ignored the emotional entanglement between her and the emperor, and started more from the perspective of a child.  When a woman considers issues from the position of a mother.  Her mind was very different, and Mrs. Wei thought about her child's future.

    "That child is born to be a prince or princess, and may become a prince or princess in the future." He has a bright future. But once the child is taken away from the palace and allowed to live and grow among the people, then he will just be a child from an ordinary family.  There is no caring care from the emperor's father, and no proof of royal status.

    Will the child blame the mother for her decision in the future?  This thought made Wei very painful.  Kangxi said nothing and dared not dissuade him, because he did give Wei Liangyi the opportunity to make his own free choice.  But even if Mrs. Wei had a slight thought of leaving the emperor, this already made Kangxi extremely uncomfortable.

    However, the development of things was out of control. Zhu Xi never expected that Wei Liangyi was only one month pregnant.  But she almost had a miscarriage.  Kangxi knew the situation at that time.  His eyes turned red with anger, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. He smashed all the porcelain bottles, white jade bottles, and jade plates in the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.  Kangxi had never lost control of his emotions like that, not to mention he cherished precious antique jades from ancient times. He was so angry that he threw plates and smashed things to vent his anger. Those smashings cost hundreds of thousands of taels at that time.  Things immediately turned into rags.  Fortunately, Wei Liangyi was fine in the end and the fetus was saved.

    It was precisely because of that accident that Wei Liangyi fell into Kangxi's arms.  With tears in his eyes, he begged him: "Your Majesty, I don't expect this child to be rich or wealthy. I just want him to be safe and happy throughout his life, and to grow up healthy."

    Kangxi couldn¡¯t help but feel wet in his eyes.  Because he knew in his heart that this was actually the first child in his life.  He is also the place where love aches deeply.  However, at this time, he could not say anything to save him. Kangxi could only say: "Don't worry, our childNot only will he be safe and happy, and he will grow up, he will also be wealthy for the rest of his life.  The emperor's son must at least be the owner of the villa.  "

    It¡¯s almost Valentine¡¯s Day

    Because I wrote in a hurry.  Will update tomorrow
