Kangxi sat on the high platform, watching the people below whispering, and couldn't help but turn his eyes to Lao Si.
Most of the desks where the princes sit are empty. A few of the princes' grandsons are present, but they sit a little further away from the table in a decent manner.
The fourth child and his two sons looked extremely at ease. He saw the fourth child holding a tea cup, taking a sip but not a sip. Honghui took a silver fork and forked a piece of fruit and took a bite. It seemed to be very delicious.
Usually, he put the bitten fruit to the mouth of the fourth child. The fourth child didn't even look at it and ate it. After eating, he nodded, as if confirming Honghui's taste, indicating that this piece was indeed the best.
To eat. Hong Yun used a fork to pluck at the plate, as if trying to find other parts of the same fruit as the piece just now. The fourth child didn't mind that the plate was messy and unsightly, and he even used it himself.
He took a piece of the fork and fed it to Hong Yun's mouth. Seeing Hong Yun take a bite, he immediately frowned and swallowed it hard. The fourth child and Hong Hui laughed together. It was obvious that they were tricking the children into falling for the scam.
It's time now and everyone is busy. He is still in the mood to entertain the children.
But looking at this natural look, I know that usually at home, father and son get along like this. They say that the fourth son is cold-faced and hard-hearted. Looking at it now, that may not be the case. They all pay attention to hugging grandchildren but not children, so they rarely can
Seeing father and son getting along like this. Even though he raised the prince himself, he had never been so close when he was young.
A loving father and a filial son are what everyone yearns for.
He felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. Looking back, he saw Old Seventeen and Old Eighteen sitting alone in the farthest place. His heart couldn't help but soften. He asked Li Dequan to bring two plates of pastries on the table and rewarded them.
A child eats.
This is also an honor.
After a while, the hunters came back one after another.
"Your Majesty, the prey captured by each brother has been counted." A man carrying an apricot-yellow flag reported loudly.
The place suddenly fell silent.
Just listen to the emperor saying: "Oh! Then tell me."
The man made a sound and said: "Eleven Prince Zhi, six Prince Three, seven Prince Five, five Prince Seven, eight Prince Nine, eleven Prince Ten, and ten Princes."
The second brother has ten, the thirteenth brother has sixteen, the fourteenth has sixteen, the fifteenth has nine, the sixteenth has seven. Hongxi has ten."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Where is the eighth prince?"
"Eighth Prince didn't have any. He released all twelve of the prey he caught alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience suddenly burst into exclamations of exclamation.
Fourth Master's hand holding the tea cup tightened slightly. What was Lao Ba trying to do? He wanted to show mercy, but also wanted to show that he had no desire for any reward.
But if it’s overdone, it’s fake.
He loosened his hand slightly, as if he had never lost his composure.
Kangxi laughed and said, "Then this is difficult to handle. There is only one reward, who should it be given to?"
Prince Horqin Batu of Mongolia stood up and said: "It should be given to the eighth elder brother. The eighth elder brother is compassionate and is the most qualified among all the elder brothers."
Fourth Master smiled inwardly, "When will it be your turn to comment, Brother Huang?"
Honghui almost couldn't hide his expression. Is this guy really saying good things to Uncle Eighth? Instead of trying to trick Uncle Eighth? You are the prince of Horqin, and you are here to support Uncle Eighth clearly. You are disgusted.
Isn't he still conspicuous?
If you don't get a prey back, no matter what the reason is, you have given up on your own initiative. If everyone can praise Uncle Eighth in his heart for his integrity, I guess Uncle Eighth will be successful.
But now that it's out in the open, what does this mean? A good move has turned out to be a deliberate and calculated move. Uncle Eight is almost ready to cry at this moment.
Hong Yun whispered: "This is the kind of 'pig teammate' that my mother-in-law said."
The fourth master was stunned and asked: "What pig teammates?" This woman was talking nonsense to the child again.
Honghui defended: "I am not afraid of opponents who are like wolves, but I am afraid of teammates who are like pigs. My son thinks this is reasonable."
The fourth master said ‘huh’ and wanted to speak.
I heard the emperor say from above: "Honghui, I see you talking, what are you talking about? Say it, let's listen."
This is so unlucky!
Honghui glanced at Fourth Master and Hongyun resentfully, then stood up, walked to the middle, bowed properly, and then said: "When I return to Huangmafa, my grandson is telling his younger brother, when can he be like Uncle Wang and his uncles?"
It’s just as awesome.”
Fourth Master felt relieved, he was right. Don't be too honest.
Kangxi laughed and didn't mind whether Honghui was telling the truth. He called him up and asked, "Which one of your uncles do you think is the most powerful? Who should I give my reward to?"
This is a pit!
Honghui calmed down and said evasively: "Tell your grandson to just look at what the reward is. If it is some antique and rare book, my grandson thinks that neither the thirteenth uncle nor the fourteenth uncle will snatch it."
If you want to give it to your third uncle, you will definitely be right. If it is some Buddhist classics, my grandson shamelessly begged Uncle Wang and his uncles to ask no one to take them. Give them to Amma. Thinking about it, Amma will not end up.
Even if you are hunting, no one will follow you to snatch this thing."
As soon as he said these words, there was silence in the venue, and then there was a burst of laughter.
Little by little, the fourth master's heart has settled down. This child, who has been tempered in the palace, is already able to stand on his own.
The prince took another look at Honghui and saw the young boy standing upright in the middle of the field, with a calm and free expression. He was witty and humorous, but also intimately talking about this matter that you and I were fighting for.
It was just a small matter at home. The tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared.
What a smart boy.
Even Kangxi couldn't help but laugh, "You are a little naughty guy." After saying that, Li Dequan asked Li Dequan to bring something up. It turned out to be a gift from the Mongolian prince to the prince.
A jade is as good as one wishes.
The venue suddenly became quiet again. Honghui's heart suddenly tightened. How should he say the following words appropriately?
Kangxi smiled and said: "Now that I have seen something, tell me who should give it to me?"
Honghui glanced at the prince on the side, walked over boldly, and saluted, "My nephew wants to ask for something from my second uncle."
The prince raised his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What do you like about your second uncle?"
Honghui chuckled and said, "The Ruyi in my second uncle's waist."
Jade Ruyi is originally a plaything, the big ones can be used as ornaments, and the small ones can be made into ornaments. Lin Yutong has several pairs of jade Ruyi-shaped earrings, which are only the size of finger joints and are very delicate.
On the prince's waist, there is also a jade-like jade that is about the length of an adult's hand. It is completely white and is made of fine ancient mutton-fat jade.
"You're quite discerning," the prince smiled, untied it, and handed it over.
Honghui smiled and said, "Thank you, Second Uncle, for the reward."
So, he handed Ruyi over and placed it next to another Ruyi.
Although one is large, the quality of the jade is not of the highest quality. Although the one on the prince's body is small, it is definitely the best of the best. It is really impossible to weigh the importance.
He chuckled and said: "They are all rewarded by the prince's second uncle, one for each of the thirteenth and fourteenth uncles. It's fair and reasonable."
When there was only one, we had to fight, but now that there are two, there is no need to fight.
The special meaning originally assigned to it is gone.
The prince raised his eyebrows again and raised his glass to the Fourth Master in a subtle way. Congratulations to the Fourth Master for having a Qilin child.
Kangxi was not annoyed. He glanced at the people below and asked: "So, you didn't exclude your eighth uncle?"
Honghui was not in a hurry, but looked at the emperor in confusion and said: "My grandson just heard that it seemed that the eighth uncle didn't bring back any prey. No matter what the reason, rules are rules. The person who sets the rules is the emperor.
, then, everyone can only act according to this rule."
Kangxi's eyes brightened a lot when he looked at Honghui.
That's right, giving back the child is what I want to express today. Yu Ruyi originally belonged to the prince, but I am an emperor who sticks to his words, so what I say is what I say. Only I can change the rules.
Although this child disrupted today's arrangements, he also made what he wanted to say clear.
That's good! Very smart.
Kangxi chuckled and continued to ask: "Someone just said that your eighth uncle has a compassionate heart and should be given to you. But now you say that you must abide by the rules. According to the rules, no prey counts. So, to be fair, do you think you
Does Eighth Uncle do this out of compassion?"
Honghui almost wanted to cry! Each question became more acute than the last.
But we can no longer be careless.
Being more tactful is called smart; being too tactful is called being unprincipled.
People have to have their own stand, and they can't be afraid of offending others and dare not say anything. This is what E Niang taught me.
So he said seriously: "If not killing animals is a sign of compassion, then Huang Mafa has killed countless prey over the years, doesn't he have a compassionate heart?"
Not far away, Mr. Ba’s face instantly turned pale.
Fourteen snickered in his heart. That’s right! He had wanted to ask this question for a long time. With you alone being compassionate, we are all executioners. He instantly felt that it would be better to kiss this nephew. Look, he suddenly mentioned Master
On the heart.
Listening to Honghui's clear and clear voice, and with a refreshing resonant voice, "Natural selection, survival of the fittest. This is the same as big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimps. We Manchus have made a living by hunting for generations.
, originally a part of this grassland. Now that we have entered the pass, Huang Mafa not only hunts by himself, but also insists on letting his grandchildren learn riding and shooting. This is to make his grandchildren not forget their roots. We will conquer the world immediately.
We must always remember that the world is not easy. If you want to govern the world, you must rely on civil servants. But if you want to maintain peace in the world, you still need the ability on horseback. Not killing is not true compassion. True compassion is to comply with this.
The way of heaven.”
There was a smile in Kangxi's eyes, and he laughed loudly, "Okay, okay! You read this book well! Only then can you understand it." After saying that, he called Honghui up, came to his side, raised his head and looked down.
The human said: "It is difficult to conquer the country, but it is even harder to defend the country. It is even more difficult to make the world peaceful and the people healthy." Seeing Honghui walking up, he said: "It's difficult for you to see clearly and think clearly. Today
According to you, I will give the jade Ruyi to your thirteenth and fourteenth uncles." He took off the jade pendant from his waist and said, "This is for you."
It’s the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant!
Fourth Master's hand trembled and he almost spilled the tea.
Everyone looked at Honghui with some surprise and uncertainty. Honghui himself was a little confused and quickly turned back to see Fourth Master.
This thing is too sensitive, Fourth Master shook his head.
Kangxi seemed not to have seen it. He hung it on Honghui's waist with his own hands, "Isn't it a jade pendant? Ordinary things on a grandfather's body may be touched by his naughty grandson if he doesn't need to give them to him. I am also a grandfather.
, I’m happy today, what’s wrong with giving something to my grandson?”
Can this be the same?
But if you really say that, what else can you say? (. )
