Chapter 1677: Not helping the bride (wowling for monthly votes)
When the young prince left, the Queen Mother said to Min Bin: "He is an honest boy, you don't have to worry."
If your temper is not so strong, you will know the importance and will not disturb the order of the king and his ministers.
Even if there is a concubine above her, she is still a slave in front of the royal princess. As long as Shisan Gege stands up on her own, there is nothing to worry about.
Concubine Min nodded and said: "It seems that she has a gentle temper, so the emperor and the empress have troubled themselves."
The Queen Mother looked at Shu Shu and said: "Go back and tell Brother Ninth to Brother Thirteen, don't worry."
Shu Shu said: "Yes, judging from his words and deeds, he has the same character as his eldest brother-in-law."
Among the five consorts in the royal family today, except for the four-pronged consort who has never been seen before, the eldest consort among the other four seems to be the most honest. He is completely obedient to Princess Chunxi and the husband and wife get along well.
Harmony.
After saying a few words with the Queen Mother, Shu Shu stood up and left to say goodbye. She came with a lunch box and it was full when she left.
Naipizi, fried rice and beef jerky were all brought by Prince Horqin to honor the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother knew that Shu Shu loved this, so she gave her a lot of it.
After returning to the Prince's Courtyard, Shu Shu ordered Xiaotang to cook Mongolian pot tea.
The milk tea in Beijing is brick tea, milk and salt.
When the fragrant milk tea was ready, Brother Jiu came back from outside.
He had just gone to find Musca and circled ten "official" shops.
As for the business content of the shop, he also thought about it, but he was not in a hurry to send it to the emperor.
He was careful and knew not to appear so diligent, otherwise there would be less time for him to write a note next time.
Therefore, he planned to delay sending the statement to the imperial court for a few more days after writing it in two days.
"It's such a hot day, why do you think of drinking this?"
Brother Jiu looked at the pot of tea on the Kang table and said curiously.
Shu Shu said: "Grandma Huang gave me some milk and fried rice, so I just wanted to make a pot and try it..."
As she said this, she served a bowl for Brother Jiu and a bowl for herself.
The top of the milk tea is floating and soaked milk skin, and underneath there are fried rice and shredded beef jerky.
In addition to the aroma of milk and tea, there is also a strong aroma of rice.
Shu Shu drank three bowls in a row, and Brother Jiu also drank nearly two bowls before asking someone to take the teapot down.
Brother Jiu asked: "Have you seen that county prince? When he came to court, I happened to be on leave, so I didn't even meet him."
Shu Shu said: "I saw it. He was said to be fourteen years old. He looks like eleven or two. His voice has not changed yet. He looks like an honest kid..."
Brother Jiu was a little surprised and said: "How did the concubine raise a son? In Mongolia, they eat meat every day and it is common for them to reach adulthood at twelve or three."
What this means as an adult is that a man produces semen.
Due to their diet, Manchurian and Mongolian boys ejaculate earlier than Han Chinese, and the age of marriage is often as early as twelve or three years.
Now after entering the customs, the Eight Banners have changed their customs, and the age of getting married has been pushed back.
Shu Shu said: "In the prince's palace, the food is never tired of fine food, and the food is never tired of fine food. Maybe it is cultivated carefully."
This little prince was the second son of his elder brother Youshang, so the title fell to him when he was only three or four years old.
If he cannot stand, the title will fall to his uncle.
It is reasonable for the concubine to look after him like an eyeball.
Brother Jiu was not very satisfied and said: "If you are only honest and have no other strengths, then you can just make do with it!"
Shu Shu felt that this little prince would catch Kangxi's eye.
Kangxi may have liked smart children in his early years, because he himself was a smart person, like attracts like, and he easily appreciates smart and capable people.
But now that he is getting older and has been obsessed with things for most of his life, he will feel relieved when he sees such an honest and simple child.
Among the princes-in-law in front, a "white-eyed wolf" four-fronted prince appeared, and then a dull and arrogant three-fronted prince appeared. Kangxi would not like people who were too ambitious.
Shu Shu then told the Queen Mother and Min Bin's evaluation of the little prince. Brother Ninth took note of it and after lunch, he went to the next yard to tell Brother Thirteen.
Brother Thirteen listened carefully and said, "Thank you, Brother Ninth. Brother Ninth also thanks Sister-in-law Ninth on my behalf. I feel relieved."
He knows that his sister is stubborn. If the other party is really tough-tempered, it will be difficult for the couple to get along harmoniously in the future.
The ninth elder brother looked at the thirteenth elder brother and said, "You don't have to worry too much. Where is Youhan's Ama? The person he personally selected is still worse?"
The key is that Min Bin is still here, so today we can see each other in person.
If you really have shortcomings and you don't like them, you won't pretend to be dumb.
Although the emperor's father usually valued Min Bin's three children, the thirteenth elder brother was the most important, and he was ordinary to the two princesses. However, even the concubine's daughter was given careful consideration when marrying him.
The two princesses produced by Min Bin are also unmistakable.
Brother Thirteen said: "I'm just afraid that if I make any omissions, I'll let Khan Ama and Er Niang worry about it in the future."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu said: "I've been living here for more than half a month. Don't I want to hunt? Then take him there. Then we can see how strong his body and bones are."
When you draw the bow and you can't do it falsely, you will know that your body has not grown, or there are still some shortcomings.
Brother Thirteen nodded, but he was not in a hurry.
If the prince wants to hunt, he should accompany the prince first.
After spending time with the prince, I can make an appointment with the young prince alone.
Otherwise, it will be bad if they are mixed together.
Two days later, the prince took his thirteenth brother, Buxi, to Beishan for hunting.
Brother Jiu was not among them. He took the re-copied statement and headed to the palace.
There were a few adults in front of the imperial court, so Brother Jiu didn't call anyone to call, and went to the duty room to wait.
It just so happened that Fourth Brother was also there, waiting to meet someone.
"Aren't you following the adults in the Lifan Yuan to take care of the Mongolian princes who are coming to court? Why do you have time to come here?" Brother Jiu asked.
"The envoys from the Tuxie Tuhan tribe have arrived, bringing tribute from Jiubai..."
Fourth elder brother replied.
"Nine White Tributes" refers to eight white horses and a white camel, which are the exclusive tributes of the three tribes of Khalkha.
Brother Jiu heard this and said: "Looking at the time, the four-fronted consort arranged for someone to send it as a gift. I don't know if the Xin Tu Shetu Khan will give it to me again at the end of the year. The four-fronted consort is stupid. He got this sweat."
I can lose my position, and it’s not even three years!”
At the end of June, the consort Si'erun dismissed Tuxie Tuhan for being "mediocre" and still descended on the county king. Tuxie Tuhan was succeeded by his uncle.
The four-headed concubine lives in the residence of Tuxie Tuhan, which is more than 2,300 miles away from the capital, but there are stations along the way. It has been half a month since the decree was issued, and the imperial decree should have almost arrived there.
The envoys, on the other hand, were bringing their livestock with them and were expected to go south in May, so the people who came were the people sent by the Four-Enchant Prince Consort.
Fourth Prince always felt that it was a bit strange that the fourth prince's sweat was lost.
Khalkha Mongolia was different from Monan Mongolia. Although they also submitted to the imperial court, they were not considered internal vassals but external vassals.
It is a bit strange for the imperial court to interfere in the inheritance of Tuxie Tuhan's title.
And there is no "helper"!
Thinking about Princess Kejing's visit to the court two years ago, Si Age felt that there was cause and effect.
He glanced at Brother Ninth.
Brother Jiu didn't think so much, and was still confused, saying: "It's good to oust the Khan. The fourth sister's princess mansion is built in Guihua City. It's not suitable for this young couple to stay apart for a long time."
Brother Si naturally favors his own people in his heart, but he is also a man and knows that for men, power is more important than petty love.
However, after losing the throne of Khan, the four-fronted consort should learn a lesson. He knows that as a royal consort, serving the princess well is the guarantee of power; otherwise, not to mention the throne of Khan, even the throne of county may not be able to last long.
Keep it for a long time.
After a while, there was movement at the door of the main hall.
Ma Qi and a minister came out one after another, it was Man Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.
When I come to see you at this time, I should be talking about the provincial examination quota.
This year is the year of the rural examination. In the past few years, Shengjia visited the south and once said that this period of rural examination will increase the quota for the provincial examination in several provinces in Jiangnan.
When the governors of other provinces got the news, they also went to Zhezi to ask for mercy.
Therefore, in addition to Jiangnan and Zhejiang, Shandong and Shuntian Prefecture were also given grace.
The ninth elder brother said to the fourth elder brother: "My fourth brother-in-law also took the Shuntianfu Provincial Examination for this subject, but his homework is not as solid as Fusong's. I don't know if he can pass this subject..."
The so-called rural examination papers, "official papers" and "civilian papers" do not include the Eight Banners.
The Eight Banners still unified the examination papers and allocated quotas to the Eight Banners.
Some of Si Age's bannermen also took part in this subject, so he said: "The quota for the Eight Banners has been increased by four, three from Manchuria and Mongolia, and one from the Han army. If the results are mediocre, there is still hope...
"
This time, a total of 24 people were added to the Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination, including four from the Eight Banners, ten from the Eight Prefectures, eight tribute supervisors from the Imperial College, one from Fengtian, and one from Xuanhua.
Compared with several provinces in Jiangnan, Shuntianfu's deductions have increased the most.
This was also for the first time to set up "official records". There were many officials' children who were registered in Shuntian Prefecture, not to mention thousands of troops and horses crossing the single-plank bridge.
The quota exemption for this subject is also to appease this group of people...
