About This Novel
After quelling the rebellion of the "Three Feudatories", Kangxi went around looking for ministers who could manage rivers. He went to Bianliang in person to inspect the Yellow River, and appointed capable ministers to dredge water transportation, which finally made the Yellow River clear; As a minister, he eased ethnic conflicts; he visited Jinling in the south to worship Taizu of the Ming Dynasty and united with the elders of the former Ming Dynasty; he accepted loyal advice, rectified the administration of officials, punished corrupt officials, and created a new trend; he visited Shengjing in the north to form an alliance with the kings of Eastern Mongolia, and then conquered Galdan in the west to complete the great cause of unifying China. Another batch of new artistic images in this volume are active in front of readers: such as the romantic and suave Gao Shiqi, the incorruptible and stubborn Yu Chenglong, the unfaithful Guo Xiu, the weather-beating Chen Huang, the arrow-picking Shi Lang, the "fragrant beauty" begging on the street, the shrewd "native mother-in-law", etc. Through the portrayal of these artistic images, the social sentiments of the early Qing Dynasty and the historical style of Yu Yu's auspicious return to unity are reproduced.
