Twenty years ago, some of the old men from the previous dynasty who were taken to the capital by Kangxi were old and some had passed away. Kangxi, who was still a young man at that time, went to win over them with a smile and asked them to give them a little thin noodles.
Criticize some courts.
But in twenty years in Hedong and twenty years in Hexi, the old people have to think about future generations. They are afraid of thinking about everything. Seeing that the Qing court is becoming more and more stable, Kangxi himself has made it clear that he is not a fool, and nothing can be gained by trying.
good.
Take a look at the southern scholars in the imperial court today. In addition to their hair and clothes, the most important thing for the family's continuation is fame, wealth, and wealth... It seems that they are also missing: in the early years of Emperor Kangxi, there were brothers Xu, Gao Shiqi, You Dong, etc.
and Wang Shizhen, a native of Yuyang Mountain, was a leader in the literary world, with a prosperous official career, and he also sang in harmony with the prince's poetry; not to mention that there were celebrities like Wang Shihong in the prince's Zhanshi mansion.
It seems that both generations of emperors will be under the influence of southern celebrities. If you think about it carefully, everyone in the world admires elegance. Even Tatars will do the same if they stay in a prosperous place for a long time. King An of the clan, sincerely
There are also a lot of scholars around the king. In this case, it can be subtle, so why bother to use swords and guns.
Cao Yin was able to walk calmly between the emperor in the capital and the elderly in the south of the Yangtze River because he knew the subtleties of these people's hearts. He didn't want to make Kangxi look ugly, but he also didn't want to drive those elderly people to a dead end.
Chatting with an old friend at this moment, Cao Yin said helplessly: "I am just a craftsman under the emperor. I am just ordered to make repairs. I can't do anything drastic...I can't bear to do it. Besides, Jiangnan is a tax-heavy area, so the more careful you are, the better."
"
This is true. There are two places in this dynasty that least need officials: one is the land of Longxing outside the Pass, and the other is Jiangnan.
The emperor's chariot slowly entered Jiangning City. Compared with a few years ago, when Kangxi entered the city for the first time, his mentality was closer to that of a standard feudal emperor. The emperor who was "rich in the world and ruled all directions"
, instead of a young emperor who forced himself to be calm, fearful and worried, and almost fled back to the outside world.
Twenty years have passed, and many people and things have changed. At least for Xuan Ye himself, these changes are not bad. Kangxi looked at the gentry bowing their heads on both sides of the road with a little complacency, and suddenly called Yinhu and asked
: "I ordered you to summon all the famous people from Jiangnan. Have you made arrangements?"
Ba Beile was waiting for the emperor's question. He hurriedly said: "Han Ama, all my sons and ministers have followed your instructions and consulted with Chengde and Cao Yin. All arrangements have been made. We just wait for Khan Ama to summon the scholars."
They."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said: "The fourth and fifth elders have to serve the Queen Mother, and the younger brothers are still young, so you should be more considerate." It is not surprising that they have elders and younger children in their family. The elders are the masters, and they can only rely on themselves.
The eunuchs obviously couldn't restrain them outside. Kangxi himself couldn't care about it for a moment, so he left his brother Lao Ba in charge of his younger brother.
Ba Beile was ordered to visit two little brothers, the twelfth elder brother Yinfan and the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, both of whom were thirteen or fourteen years old. Originally, Kangxi also planned to bring the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen, but unfortunately
When we set out, the fourteenth child was ill and did not come. The ninth and tenth children were also left in the capital because they wanted to marry a wife this year. When they returned to Kangxi, they had to be married.
The twelfth elder brother was raised by Aunt Sumala, and it was common for him to study, ride, and shoot. However, he was always low-key and gentle, and he knew how to enjoy himself at a young age. Now that he has arrived in Jiangnan, he just goes with the flow and has no particularly big problems.
curiosity.
Yinsu had already expected that the twelfth brother would be like this. What he was worried about was not the twelfth brother, but the thirteenth brother Yinxiang. His mother-in-law was a concubine like his own mother-in-law, but she had a son and two daughters. She was very worried.
Yinxiang himself was very good at reading, riding, and shooting, and he had always been favored by Kangxi. In the past two years, the old man often took him with him when he went on tours to escape the summer. Being favored naturally makes him bold, and Babeile was really afraid that this kid would go out if he made a fuss.
But the Thirteenth Brother was also very depressed and lacked energy. This was wrong. He was quite happy when he came out, making noises about horse racing and fishing. Why did he look like this?
"You didn't take good care of my brother?" Yinhu asked the eunuch with a serious face: "If my brother feels unwell when I'm away from home, I should do my best and ask the imperial doctor to come over as soon as possible. What do you want to eat?"
"Bago, I'm not feeling uncomfortable..." Yinxiang muttered, "I'm worried about my mother-in-law. On the way, Gu Zhida from the palace wrote a letter saying that my mother-in-law is ill."
"Oh, we are so far away from the capital, maybe the empress will be well by now." Yinsu comforted him in a warm tone: "Don't worry yet, Khan's Ama is stationed in Jiangning, and counting the days, it will probably be in the palace these days.
It’s time for the news to come, it must be good news.”
Yinxiang was young after all, and he was forgiven by his brother. He nodded and said: "Please lend me your good words from Bage. My brother thanks you in advance!"
Thirteenth Brother's mother-in-law, Zhangjia, is indeed ill, and her condition is not good. It is said that the bones in her body always hurt. However, there are private rumors among the women in the palace that Zhangjia is not raising well after giving birth to three children.
, so now I can’t afford to get sick.
When the news reached the Zhijun Prince's Mansion, it was already the end of summer, and the errands on the Yinti River were running smoothly, and he could go home to see his wife and children. It was a leisurely scene.
"When Qian'er entered the palace, E Niang told me that Zhangjia's concubine might not be able to survive, so let's be prepared, especially you, in case... you have to go through all the trouble to come back to mourn and observe mourning."
Daoqin sighed and said: "I think the concubine is not very young, and everyone said she was suffering from postpartum disease." This matter was also close to her heart. Daoqin was also ill when she gave birth to her second princess, and now the whole family is
I still have lingering fears.
Yin Ti was a person who did not believe in ghosts and gods. When Dao Qin recovered, he even gave alms to temples and gymnasiums in Beijing in order to seek good fortune. Su Rige would lean on E Niang and touch her hand when nothing happened, as he was afraid that she would catch a cold.
The wind injured her body; Honghan also secretly cried a few times. In the past two years, she seemed to be relieved and felt that her mother was indeed well.
However, Yinti shook his head and said firmly: "It's really not a postpartum disease. The palace asked the imperial doctor to consult as usual, but there were no results. The palace's Gu Shuda also wrote to Khan Ama, requesting the order
Later, the symptoms of the pulse case were also seen by foreign priests. Father Hong searched all the classics and only said that he had never seen this kind of disease..."
Prince Zhi himself suspected that it might be some kind of tumor or cancer, but he had no evidence and no legal treatment, so he had no choice but to remain silent. Hearing what he said, Daoqin sighed and said: "Concubine I still have three children.
Not even an adult yet...sigh."
"Don't sigh." Yinti casually touched his wife's brow: "We will be lucky if we survive the disaster. We all have our own lives, and we can't care about others. You take good care of your body, and we grow old together, that's a blessing. I
I heard from Zhao Wan that you started painting again? That's good, just be careful not to get tired and think more about me and our children."
With his daughter-in-law in his arms, Prince Zhi, the winner of life, was happily enjoying life. Someone in the palace was running to Yuqing Palace to report that Concubine Min was dead.
Kangxi successively summoned Gao Shiqi, Zhu Yizun, You Dong and others who had become officials in Jiangning. He also met He Zhuo, a celebrity as famous as Wang Shihong. Among them, He Zhuo was more interested in fame and fortune, and was appointed by Kangxi as Babeile's attendant.
Study for bachelor's degree.
Everyone was congratulating He Zhuo, but Cao Yin said to Chengde: "I don't know how disappointed he is..." He originally expected to make the emperor's attention in one fell swoop, like Gao Shiqi, who "serves as a farmer in the morning and ascends to the emperor's hall in the evening."
Unexpectedly, he suddenly became the bachelor of Babeile.
Although he is on the same level as an old-timer like Chen Menglei, his future is very different. Cao Yin chuckled. I am afraid he will not be a calm master in the future.
