Chapter 1066: Lessons from the Past(1/2)

"Son, I wish Khan Ama's safety..."

The third elder brother came in and said hello respectfully.

Seeing that his expression was as usual, Kangxi nodded and called, "Why are you here at this time?"

The third elder brother sighed and said: "I just met my clan brother today and I was so touched. I miss you so much."

Kangxi pointed to the chair, motioned for him to sit down, and said: "Why are you sighing all the time at such a young age? How was the funeral of Sonu's family? How many guests were there?"

The third elder brother thought for a while and said: "The cousin with the red flag is almost gone. Prince Kang of Hongqi is here in person. The other houses are just sent juniors. A lot of people from Dong E's family have gone, so the funeral is quite decent and lively."

Kangxi frowned slightly after hearing this.

Nowadays, the atmosphere in Beijing is not good. Not only extravagant marriages are popular, but also extravagant funerals are popular, which consumes human and financial resources.

Regardless of their livelihood, the Eight Banners all received money and food from the imperial court, so they did not know how to live frugally.

However, as the population increased, the burden on the court also became heavier.

When the third elder brother saw him, he said, "It makes me feel sad just to see a clan brother and a family full of children and grandchildren. No wonder people say, 'Everything is going well with the family.' If this brings trouble to Xiao Qiang, it will really make people worried."

Kangxi looked at him and said: "The brothers in Beizi Mansion are at odds?"

The third elder brother shook his head, nodded again, and said: "It looked fine before, but it's hard to say in the future."

As he said that, he told what he had seen this morning and said: "It is a harm to have the inner house unclear. I am afraid that the eldest brother and the seventh brother will not get along well in the future. Even if they are brothers, the biological mother is interfering in it.

It’s also a mess, Lao Jiu also mentioned the early deaths of the previous sisters-in-law, and the six legitimate sons left behind. I guess I have to think twice, and the clan brother still has a headache..."

After Kangxi heard this, he thought of himself.

Sunu lost his wife three times, and he also lost his wife three times.

Sonu married four stepwives and no longer had any children of his own.

Sunu had thirteen sons, and Xuji had thirteen sons.

He has twenty-eight sons, and he has eighteen sons.

Kangxi's heart "thumped" and became a little heavier.

The third elder brother continued: "It's no wonder that Lao Jiu thought of the worst and suspected that the concubine had some tricks. It was such a coincidence. The wives died one after another, all in their early twenties..."

Kangxi thought of Empress Yuan and Empress Xiaozhao, both of whom died in their early twenties.

The third elder brother said again: "Hey, no wonder the book said that women are sinister. This harms people silently. If the ninth brother and sister hadn't forced them to ask about the ginseng, who would have thought that the ginseng used for pregnant women would be rotten? I don't know the clan.

Brother, how do you deal with that concubine? My son is watching. Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi both look ugly. No one can bear the loss of their good daughter, who was in her twenties."

When Kangxi thought about the family marriages between these families, he looked downcast and said, "It shouldn't be a fight. Aren't there several other in-laws?"

As for the sinister nature of women, the rose perfume given by Empress Yuan to Concubine Rong, and the rose perfume given by Concubine Rong to Yuqing Palace...

Is there anyone else in there?

Kangxi thought about the chaos in the palace in the early years of his pro-government, and couldn't explain it.

It's not that only drugging is harmful. Killing people with words like Dong's is also another kind of viciousness.

Fortunately, Concubine Hui has always been generous and upright and does not get involved in these matters.

Concubine Yi and Concubine De entered the palace late and avoided the initial chaos. Neither of them had a gloomy temper.

Otherwise, Kangxi would not want to see these old people.

The third elder brother said: "It's nothing short of a quarrel. Now that the original reasons have been found out, even the best of relatives will have rifts."

Kangxi thought for a while and ordered Liang Jiugong: "Send Brother Jiu to come over."

Liang Jiugong responded and went.

The third elder brother couldn't help but be stunned, what should he ask Lao Jiu to do at this time?

Isn't it just gossip between father and son?

Lao Jiu won’t misunderstand, right?

He was a little uneasy.

Kangxi looked at him and pondered in his heart.

The relationship between father and son seems to be the same as before, but they both understand that it is different from before.

Even if you look at the relaxed atmosphere, you are just looking at it.

The third elder brother's invitation to see him today was deliberately to bring the relationship between father and son closer; he also had this purpose in inviting people in.

But between speaking and obeying, both of them were thinking more than before.

The third elder brother quickly thought over what he said before, and he breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that he didn't say anything bad.

It seems that he will learn a lesson in the future and say more nice things to others in front of Khan Amma, otherwise, he is not sure whether he will be sold by Khan Amma.

Thinking of this, the third elder brother was stunned, lowered his head, and felt a little apprehensive.

Is he already on guard in his heart?

In an estimated quarter of an hour, Liang Jiugong brought Brother Jiu over.

Brother Ninth also just took a shower.

It's just that I was called here before I had eaten.

I thought there was something big going on, but I didn't expect it was about Beizi Mansion.

The ninth elder brother did not expect that it was the third elder brother who came over on his own initiative. He thought that the emperor had received the news, so he first called the third elder brother and then himself.

He said: "Khan Ama did not summon his son, but his son also wanted to come to see him. My son was in Beizi Mansion for a long time and thought about what was wrong. This child is difficult to raise. Why are all the people in Beizi Mansion raising him?"

Among his elder brothers who died young, some had pox, some had epidemics, and some suffered from other illnesses.

Whether it's pox or epidemics, when there's an epidemic in Beijing, there are always children dying one after another.

But the brothers in Beizi Mansion are all good.

Brother Jiu said: "My son has done some calculations. Now there are only more than 400 yellow belts. The three generations of Beizi Mansion have nearly 30 people. Do you want to ask the elder brother later how he raised his son..."

At this point, he glanced at the third elder brother and said: "Not to mention the elder brother in the palace before, Princess, but now there are children who can't stand up in the houses of all brothers. It's a pity..."

As for the speculation about the Forbidden City's bad feng shui, he kept it in his mind.

The emperor's father would definitely not like to hear it.

You can't get involved there, as if God is not blessing the Qing Dynasty, this is taboo.

In fact, the emperor's father was already very powerful. He gave birth to more than forty princes and princesses in total. This number of heirs far exceeded that of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong.

After listening to Brother Jiu's words, Kangxi thought thoughtfully and said: "Su Nu has a close relationship with the missionaries. They have good relations with each other and often invite foreign doctors."

After hearing this, Brother Jiu said: "This matter can be used as a reference. In the future, the pediatrician at Tai Hospital should also prepare a few foreign doctors. It would be safer."

Regardless of whether the palace arranged it or not, he was wondering whether the palace should arrange one.

It took so much effort to give birth to this child. If something was really wrong, Fujin would cry to death and he couldn't bear it.

Kangxi looked at the third elder brother and said: "Your elder brother died in the mansion, can you find out the reason?"

With the example in the palace before him, Kangxi also had to examine his son's backyard.

Even if Prince Fujin is really evil-minded, he won't be tolerated.

The Sanbeile Mansion can be considered a unique one. Three bastards died in infancy, but the legitimate children are all fine.

Although Sibeile's son died at a young age, he was born prematurely and was not well-raised, so it was not surprising that he was gone after a late spring cold.

As for Yuqing Palace, the one who died was a concubine, before the princess married in.

Right now, it seems that the only suspect is San Fujin.

The third elder brother was ashamed and said: "My son has asked the imperial doctor. It's because he didn't take good care of himself during pregnancy. The princesses themselves are also a little slim."

Kangxi frowned after hearing this, thinking of the triplets in Ninth Brother's family.

I heard from the 13th and 14th elder brothers that they are well-raised. Except for Akdan, who is a bit thinner, Fengsheng and Niguzhu both look strong.

This is the importance of having a healthy mother.

Kangxi looked at the third elder brother and said: "Since the princess in your backyard is not suitable for you, should I choose two more people for you?"

In the past, because the third elder brother liked to be arty, he, as his mother-in-law, chose slender ones for him. Now that I think about it, it is not good for the heirs.

After hearing this, the third elder brother hurriedly said: "Khan Ama, no, no, no, my son has already got four qualifications, which is quite a lot. If you add more people outside, you will think that your son is a lecher."

The key is that it is different for Princess and her concubine to have the same room.

If a concubine has a room with a concubine, it is similar to that of a girl, and it does not cost much more money.

The emperor's father pointed out that when the time comes, he will have to arrange for manpower to serve, and the food and clothing expenses will also be set, which is another expense.

My salary is still pending, and I don’t know when it will be paid back. Now that the expenses are from the industry, it should be as little as possible.

Moreover, the third elder brother was a little wary of those who came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

He had just offended a group of people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Who knows how many people would hate him for his relatives cheating on their relatives.
To be continued...
