After entering the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi, the princes who were still stranded in the elder brother's house were the thirteenth, the fifteenth, the sixteenth, the seventeenth, the twentieth, the twenty-first, and the twenty-second.
Old twenty-three and old twenty-four, these are the nine elder brothers.
Alas, speaking of it, Old Thirteen is really unlucky.
Lao Shiba has been a kid for a long time, but Lao Shisan is still an empty-headed brother. He has no choice but to stay in his house and live a boring life.
Except for Lao Twenty-two, from Lao Fifteen to Lao Twenty-four, they were all born to Han women and concubines. Even if Kangxi did not ennoble them, no one would speak for them.
Lao Jiu was a short-lived ghost. He died when he was only three years old.
Lao Twenty-two's biological mother, the concubine Sehetu, was as beautiful as a flower and jade, and she wore a white Manchu flag.
Helpless, her Ama was just a sixth-grade knight in the riding school. Her background was too low, and she was never valued by the old emperor.
Now, these nine princes and elder brothers are all students of Yuzhu.
Notwithstanding the others, Lao Shisan seemed particularly embarrassed.
It turned out that the heroic and generous Lao Shisan and Yuzhu were brothers, and they fell asleep together without getting drunk.
Now, Yuzhu has transformed into the chief master of the study. Lao Shisan has become half shorter out of thin air, and he feels aggrieved.
Nine princes and elder brothers, plus nine personal companions, as well as Zhang Tingyu and Yuzhu, were in the study room, a total of twenty people.
Among these twenty people was Yuzhu's eldest son, the third-class uncle Tongjia Xuanyu.
Originally, Yuzhu never wanted Xuanyu to have anything to do with the princes.
However, the old emperor was determined and asked Xiao Xuanyu to be Lao Twenty's companion.
Lao Twenty's biological mother, the concubine Gao Shi, was also known to Yuzhu.
How can I put it, Gao's beauty is definitely inferior to that of the good concubine Wei.
However, Yuzhu heard from the female official next to her aunt's father that Gao's figure was particularly soft.
Although he doesn't say much, he is particularly eye-catching.
Yuzhu was a veteran of wandering among flowers. He understood immediately that Gao was good at various difficult postures.
You know, in a palace with strict rules and extremely rigid rules, women must not expose their promiscuous side.
It is no exaggeration to say that even when the old emperor held him in his arms, the women did not dare to call out.
Lao Nineteen and Lao Twenty were both born from the Gao family. However, Lao Nineteen's fate was not good and he died at the age of three.
Now that Yuzhu is here, he naturally wants to question the students' studies.
Among the princes present, Lao Shisan was the eldest. No matter how reluctant Yuzhu was, he had to ask him first.
According to the regulations of the old emperor, the princes did not learn Confucianism or write eight-legged essays, but only studied practical classics and history books.
"If a concubine should be upright to the noble family, he should be taught to be filial to his younger brother, to be friends with his friends, to love his sons, to understand the meaning of father and son, and to understand the order of elders and younger ones." After Yuzhu read the previous sentence, he ordered Lao Shisan to recite the following sentence, "Thirteenth Master
, please continue to memorize it."
Lao Shisan thought for a moment and realized that this was a passage in "Book of Rites: Prince Wen", so he answered accordingly.
"The dynasty is in the public domain: In the internal dynasty, the east and north are upward; if the ministers are noble, they are sent to the imperial court; in the external dynasty, they are officials and ministers. In the ancestral temple, they are in the same position as in the external dynasty. The clan members
When conferring a job, he is given a title and an official position. If he ascends the throne to offer his services and receives a title, he will be the next to be the heir..."
Yuzhu closed his eyes slightly and nodded secretly while listening to Lao Shisan's recitation. Lao Shisan's Confucian skills were indeed extremely solid.
The princes present will count each one as one and pass the test one by one.
When it was the turn of the twenty-year-old, this boy was playful and did not have a solid knowledge. He stumbled over his words and his tongue curled up. Not to mention he was in a lot of embarrassment.
Yuzhu sighed secretly, there was nothing he could do, the prince couldn't memorize the book, so he had to be punished.
"Tong Jia Xuanyu, stretch out your hand." Yuzhu picked up the ruler on the desk and walked slowly to Xiao Xuanyu.
Xiao Xuanyu dared to rebel against his father's instructions, so he obediently stretched out his little hand.
"Pa..." Yuzhu hardened his heart and slapped his son's little hand hard.
Zhang Tingyu looked at the twenty-year-old who turned pale with fright and dared not say a word. He cursed in his heart, "You stupid donkey. I was beaten by my own father as my companion, but I didn't know how to stand up and protect him. I lost my beautiful face in vain."
"Wait a minute in the middle hall." Zhang Tingyu walked quickly to Yuzhu's side, bowed to the ground, and advised with unusual sincerity, "It is common for you to report to the middle hall and go to the study room for small punishments and weak disciplines. But, according to the
In the past, the practice was to only make ten prototypes at most. After all, the children are young and weak, so if they are broken, the gain will outweigh the loss."
Yuzhu had long wanted to stop. However, this was the upper study room, not the inner study room of the old Tong family. The play that was to be performed had to be performed in full.
"Pa..." Yuzhu hit the hand twenty times in a row, and then stopped after Zhang Tingyu's persuasion.
Alas, poor little Xuanyu, her left hand was swollen.
When his son was beaten, his father appeared to be fine, but in fact he felt pain in his heart.
However, Xiao Xuanyu was a man. From beginning to end, he remained silent, as if Yuzhu was hitting someone else.
After beating Xuanyu, Yuzhu stood firm and asked Zhang Tingyu calmly: "Chen Heng, Master Twenty still needs to pay more attention to his homework."
"Yes, yes, yes, I must abide by the teachings of the Zhongtang in my humble position..." Zhang Tingyu bent down and listened obediently.
If he were an ordinary flatterer and was questioned by Yuzhu in public, he would probably take it out on Lao Twenty afterwards.
However, Zhang Tingyu is not an ordinary person, and he cannot take the initiative to worship Yuzhu.
Because Zhang Tingyu had always been a master in the study room, the old emperor had long known that Lao Twenty didn't like studying.
Some people are born unable to read and do not want to read.
Among the many princes, Lao Shi is the least able to read, followed by Lao Twenty.
Lao Twenty's maternal clan is not worth mentioning, but Lao Ten is different. Not only does he not like reading, he is also extremely arrogant.
Lao Shi once publicly threatened: "I don't care about Khan Amma's throne. If I know a few words, I shouldn't be blind, so it is considered good."
Good guy, when the old emperor heard about it, he was so angry that he took a whip and chased Lao Shi and beat him.
To be angry, the old emperor once told Wei Zhu in private that despite being stupid and ignorant, Lao Shi, a bastard, would definitely be blessed in the future.
After Yuzhu heard about it, he couldn't help but nodded frequently. The old emperor really understood Lao Shi.
From the old emperor's point of view, as long as the son does not care about the throne, it is acceptable even if he waits for death.
It’s not like you can’t afford it?
But Yuzhu knew it well. After the fourth child came to the throne, he brutally killed the third child, the ninth child and the eighth child, but spared the tenth child.
In addition to the huge power of Lao Shi's mother clan, Lao Shi's stupidity and recklessness were also one of the most important factors that led to Lao Si letting him go.
Not long after school ended, the news that Yuzhu had beaten his son seemed to have grown wings and spread throughout the capital almost overnight.
