The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 51 Playing with Kangxi
"The Emperor accompanied the Mongolian prince at noon, drank two cups, and is now resting. But he will have to get up soon. If the Tenth Prince has something important to report, shall I go in and inform him?" Li Dequan said politely.

Li Yan said quickly, "It's okay. I just haven't seen the Emperor for a long time and I missed him so much that I came to see him. It's nothing serious. Since the Emperor will be getting up soon, I'll just wait here for a while."

"Li Dequan, who is outside?" Kangxi's vague voice came from the room, and it sounded like he had just woken up.

Li Dequan lifted the door curtain and walked in, holding Kangxi's arm as he said, "Your Majesty, it's the Tenth Prince who has come to pay his respects to you. He's waiting outside."

"Old Ten is here, let him in!"

"嗻"

Li Dequan came out and invited Li Yan in. As soon as Li Yan entered the room, he said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father. May your Highness be blessed."

"Get up! Old Ten, I haven't seen you for a while. What's the matter with you coming here today?"

Li Yan stood up, took two steps forward and helped Kangxi pick up his clothes and put them on, saying, "Father, I have nothing else to do today. It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you very much, so I came here today to pay my respects to you and chat with you."

"Let's talk, okay!"

"Your Majesty, usually no one comes here except the ministers. It's rare that you still think of me." When Kangxi heard this, a happy smile appeared on his face. Although he was the emperor, he had also lost the family happiness of ordinary people.

Although he has many children, most of them are very respectful to him when they see him. Instead of being as friendly as other children when they see their father, it is difficult for him to feel the affection from those brothers.

There is always a price to pay for what you gain. Perhaps this is the helplessness of being in an imperial family!
Fortunately, he could feel the attachment of a child to his father from the tenth son. This allowed Kangxi to switch from an emperor to a father in a trance, enjoying a moment of comfort, which also made Kangxi feel that Li Yan was different from his other sons.

Li Yan came from later generations and was used to being casual. Although he was a prince, he was not raised in luxury after all.

In addition to his detached mentality, he knew that this world was just a passer-by for him, and he could not take anything here with him. He was not so obsessed with the power and wealth that ordinary people desperately pursued, and his life was not in the hands of Kangxi.

Therefore, Kangxi was not as cautious and worried as other people!

Although Kangxi is the emperor, to Li Yan, he is just an ordinary old man. Combined with Yin's memory, Kangxi becomes a father. All he needs to do is keep a normal mind and treat him as a father. Everyone knows how to get along with your father, and it is not difficult.

"Father, you have been very busy traveling during this period. After arriving at the Rehe Palace, you were busy meeting with foreign envoys and leaders of various tribes. I heard from Eunuch Li that you have some back pain. It just so happens that I learned acupoint massage from the doctor in the palace some time ago. It can dredge the meridians and harmonize the qi and blood. If Father, you are free, I will massage you to relieve these symptoms!"

Kangxi smiled when he heard this: "You can do these things, great. I have nothing to do, why don't you try it!" After Li Yan acquired internal strength, he also consulted some doctors to understand the distribution of acupuncture points in the human body, and combined with his own personal experience and internal strength to assist.

These acupoint massages can relieve fatigue and do it easily.

After taking off his coat and rolling up his sleeves, he naturally began to play with Kangxi, pulling his arms and supporting his back. After a short while, Kangxi felt a lot more comfortable and said with a smile, "Old Ten, you are really amazing. I feel much more comfortable now than before."

"Father Emperor, your body is basically healthy. It's just that sitting still for a long time reviewing memorials, coupled with worry and fatigue, has caused your qi and blood to stagnate."

"If you can move around regularly, go out more often to breathe fresh air, relax your body and rest your mind, your body will be better. Don't stay in the room all the time, it's not good for your health." Li Yan pressed hard, feeling excited.

This is Kangxi!

A great emperor was flattened and rounded in his hands and manipulated by him at will.

Kangxi smiled and said, "I am the emperor. I have such a big country and so many things to worry about every day. Do you think I am you? You stay in the mansion of the Tenth Master every day and enjoy yourself with beautiful wives and concubines. You live like a god. I heard that you sleep in the mansion until the sun goes down all day. You are the last one to get up in the mansion of the Tenth Master."

"Father, I am obeying your orders and writing diligently in the mansion every day to recuperate. Haven't you always said that I am not good at studying? The last time I went to the south of the Yangtze River, I specially hired a teacher to stay in the mansion and ask for advice every day. Now my knowledge is not the same as before. If you don't believe me, you can test me." Li Yan said casually.

"Then tell me, what have you learned recently?"

"I have learned everything from the Four Books and Five Classics to rites, music, calligraphy and painting, and I have also learned the Emperor's articles! Speaking of this, this morning, I went to visit my fourth brother. Since he was injured last time, I have been unable to go out and have not visited him due to your order. I took the opportunity of coming to Rehe to visit my fourth brother and chat with him. I couldn't refuse my fourth brother's kindness and asked my fourth sister-in-law to make mutton hotpot. At noon, we had a few drinks and had a very pleasant chat!" Li Yan smiled and talked about what he saw and heard in the morning.

Kangxi was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Li Yan: "Oh? You went to see the fourth brother. I remember that you two didn't have a very good relationship. So what did you talk about?"

"Father Emperor, what you said is outdated. Ever since I went to Jiangnan to do an errand myself last time, I have deeply felt that what I learned before is not enough. What I learned from books is always shallow. Many specific matters cannot be solved by relying on the knowledge learned from books. I have to do it myself and be down-to-earth. I can't just give orders from above. In the end, I won't get anything done."

"Fourth brother often goes down to do errands, and has many personal experiences, accumulating rich practical experience. I am going to ask for your advice. I am growing up, and I can no longer just rely on my father's relationship and sit on the merit list of my ancestors to enjoy life as I did before. Instead, I have to do something practical, both for the court and for myself."

Kangxi nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and said with great relief: "It's good that you think this way. This shows that I put my heart into the last mission and it was not in vain. Don't worry, everyone grows up little by little. As long as you have this mindset, you will definitely become a pillar of our Qing Dynasty in the future."
