The outer city of the capital is very lively in autumn. During the years of peace, commodity prices, especially food prices, have been stable. After the dredging of the canal and the Yongding River, there are more shops in the inner and outer cities of the capital selling specialties from various places, especially Jiangnan.
There were not only shops on the street, but also more hawkers on both sides of the road. Not only did they not hide away when they saw the large group of Mongolians, but they even louder to sell the goods in their hands in order to attract the attention of these Mongolians. You must know that they are today's
"You are stupid, you have a lot of money, come quickly"
"Your Majesty, it's really lively here. It's even more lively than when I came with you a few years ago!"
A series of chirping Mongolian words came out. Listening to his subordinates' words, a smile appeared on the face of Prince Zasakdoro. For the three Khalkha tribes, especially for himself, facing the upcoming defeat by Kangxi
This kind of prosperity is naturally good news for the emperor's destiny of recruiting a son-in-law.
During the Duolun Conference in the 30th year of Kangxi's reign, Dundorbu Dorji was still a young Taiji, following his father as an outsider and a bystander, watching how the emperor in the southern capital conquered the nobles on the grassland.
Take it easy with the lama.
Now that the old county king has passed away, he has become the new master of the tribe, and he is already an insider... He wants to protect his tribe, maintain his status, and beware of the ambitious "wild wolves" on the grassland.
Dundob Dorzi is a smart man. The Zasak tribe he leads is not the strongest, but its location is right at the throat of the territories of Chechen Khan, Tushetu Khan and Zasak Tuhan. Plus he and
His father had obeyed Emperor Kangxi for many years, and now he was finally going to be rewarded.
As early as a few years ago, when the emperor inspected the grassland, Tun Dob Dorji was summoned to accompany him. Later, he was ordered to provide relief to the victims in Zhangjiakou area. He did a good job, but the emperor did not show favor to him, considering that
The emperor's rewards and punishments are clearly related to the age of the county prince himself, and Emperor Kangxi's intention to call him as his son-in-law is obvious.
When talking about this matter with tribal elders and cronies before, based on the ages of the previous princesses who married Mongolian nobles, Dundob Dorzi also understood that the one most likely to marry him would be Liugege. At present, the emperor's
Among the princesses, only Princess Rongxian and Princess Duanjing live on the grassland. From the few meetings, at least I know that these two princesses are not fools.
With their status, as long as they are not fools, they are enough to exist as an important power weight on the grassland... Of course, it also means that the Mongolian princes must share their power with the princesses. As for how much the princess can get.
, it’s a game between husband and wife.
"Prince, it seems that the person in front of us is picking us up... It seems to be some prince!" The subordinate interrupted the prince's thoughts, and Dun Dobdorzi looked forward.
There are eunuchs at his side, a purple rein on his horse, a jeweled crown on his head, and a four-parted train on his body. Combined with such a young appearance, it is impossible for the emperor to send a young clan member with insufficient status to stand in the forefront, so it must be the prince.
Dundobu Doerji Lema heard someone coming from the front and asked: "May I ask who is the king of Zasakdoluo County? Ba Beile is waiting here under the emperor's order!" After receiving a positive answer, Ba Beile
Belle Yinhu led the people to greet him with a smile on his face.
The princess's descent is a big event. She will be busy for two months before and after the wedding. After the princess salutes her husband in Beijing, she still has to spend the New Year in Beijing and wait until the spring of next year before returning to the grassland. Therefore, dignitaries from all over Mongolia also come to Beijing this month.
.
Seeing the increase in the number of Mongolians in the capital, Kangxi was not worried about Lao Ba working alone. He also sent the imperial minister, the concubine Bandi, the clan town Duke Puqi and the internal minister Cheng De to take charge of the placement of the various Mongolian people in and outside the capital.
question.
The Mongolian relatives in Beijing either live in the post house or in their own mansions in Beijing. Those who have mansions do not need to express condolences. However, before the emperor summons, the imperial minister is ordered to send someone to inform them. But those who live in the post house need Baylor and
The prince-in-law personally came to express his condolences. Even though Bendi was his brother-in-law, it was not easy for Babeile to take the initiative to find him. After all, Babeile was responsible for this job.
In the palace of Princess Heshuo Chunxi, Ji Lan, who was pregnant with her third child, was leaning on the kang, caring deeply about the life of her two sons, especially the eldest son Hailiang.
"You said Honghan and Yuqinggong's longevity, Hongxi also had a good time?"
Ji Lan peeled an orange with her own hands and handed it to Hai Liang. Hai Liang was no better than the emperor's grandson and could not live in the palace, so he had to leave early and come back late every day. Ji Lan felt sorry for his son's hard work, so he simply shortened the time between morning and evening to meeting at night, which was just right
The whole family can also have a midnight snack.
It was rare for mother and son to talk to each other. Hai Liang also sat affectionately with his younger brother. He took the orange from E Niang and broke half of it for his brother Dirk, and then said: "Return to E Niang, that's right. Hong Han gets it too.
Shou and Hongxi both played well and took me along with them."
Before Ji Lan could continue to ask, he smiled and said to himself: "Eniang doesn't know that although the uncles in the study are in the same grade as us, they don't play together. The princes are in one group, and the emperor's grandsons are in another group. Naturally, my son and
The royal and grandsons play together."
Of course Ji Lan understands why. The emperor's younger brother is also a serious prince. Not only his seniority, but also his status is higher than that of the emperor's grandchildren. But then again, their future future must be better than that of his nephews?
Not necessarily.
Deshou, Hong Xi and his brother didn’t mention that he was the prince’s son. The fourth elder brother born to the prince’s concubine has not yet had acne. One of them is the prince’s eldest son—his biological mother was born in a official under the Zhengzheng banner, and the other was born to the same mother.
"Reservists". The prince has always valued these two brothers, but now he only cares about one thing. The background and ranking of these two children will not hurt them in the future.
The rest of the imperial grandsons are either the eldest son of Prince Zhi or the eldest son of Sanbeile, who is destined to be the one who inherits the title of the two houses. Not to mention that the third prince is lost, but the job of repairing the book is not lost, listen.
The consort said that the emperor didn't yell at him so much that he would be killed, so it was hard to predict the future.
Speaking of directing the prince's palace, it is inevitable to protect the Qing Dynasty and make him a prince. With his merits and his stability for so many years, anyone with a clear mind will think that Hong Han, the prince, is safe and secure. The prince's status is better than that of the county prince.
And among today's young brothers, who dares to pat his chest and say that he can be crowned a county king at the very beginning? What's more, sooner or later he will leave the palace and open a palace, and he will need the help of his brothers, and it depends on the prince's face... In this case, Zuo Yao is now
ill.
Regardless of whether it was because he was really precocious or because he was persuaded by the servants around him, the little prince in the palace would always try to keep his integrity. If one day Hailiang got angry and unhappy with others, it would definitely be with his peers.
Ji Lan wanted to say a few more words, but recalling Baoqing and Baocheng back then... forget it, let them solve it on their own. Now it seems that the children have good tempers. Even if there is a small friction, it is a good thing if it happened when they were young.
.
Think about the rumors about Baoqing and the Crown Prince this summer, and think about how much turmoil it would cause if things got serious and they really broke up, and what Khan Amma might do... Ji Lan rubbed his forehead and thought about himself for a moment.
Zi Zi fell into deep thought, while Hai Liang held his brother Dirk and refused to allow him to disturb his mother until a series of announcements came from outside.
Accompanied by the announcement of "Greetings to my consort!" and "My consort is back!", Bandi stepped into the house and quickly asked before he could take care of his two sons: "What's wrong with the princess? What's wrong?"
Ji Lan then came back to his senses and shook his head, then watched his two sons salute Ama, watched them leave, and then said: "I don't mind, you didn't say you were going to Lao Ba's place, why did you come back so early? No.
Go to the Mongolian prince?"
Bandi took off his coat outside and sat next to his wife holding the stove. He sighed deeply: "Why didn't you go? Alas! The people from Khalkha attacked the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy and took the eunuchs with them..."
"What kind of mess is this? How can we solve it?" Ji Lan asked quickly: "Did Lao Ba come forward or did you come forward?"
The first class member looked helpless: "None of them. Prince Zhi came back to Beijing from Yongding River and happened to meet him. He took care of it. Laoba... Why didn't I see it in the past? He is simply a slippery man! Oh, such a slippery person just now.
Although I didn’t add any jealousy in front of Khan Amma, will it offend him if I tell the truth?”
"Lao Ba?" Ji Lan shook his head: "No, don't worry, even if he feels uncomfortable, he will turn the story over. I hope no one will remember it. However, why did he become so cunning? Don't be confused.
But tell me the whole story!"
The next day, Babeile and his eldest brother-in-law Bandi met with the Mongolian kings outside Xihua Gate, conveyed Emperor Kangxi's will, and led several princes and princes who were qualified to meet the emperor into the palace. Babeile took Kaer with him.
The princes and princes of the three tribes of Kazakhstan entered Xihua Gate. When Bandi, who had not obeyed the order, was about to return home, he was stopped by an old acquaintance.
"My brother-in-law has lived a good life these years. You must have forgotten us cousins a long time ago?" Dorzibele of the Borzigit family stood outside the Xihua Gate and said with a smile: "My brother-in-law is in Borg.
Since Dahan has dignity in front of him, can he help me, my brother?"
We haven’t seen each other for many years, and Dorji has aged a lot. Although he has a tough mouth, his eyes are full of pleading. Looking back on the grassland, Dorji leaned against Prince Darhan and wanted to cause trouble for his eldest brother.
The third one was a little bit sad, but he still said vigilantly: "This is the imperial palace, at the feet of the emperor. I can take care of anything. Baylor was joking."
"...This is not just my business. If my brother-in-law is willing to help, Dorji and Prince Darhan will be grateful." Dorji realized that Bandi wanted to leave, and said hurriedly: "Yesterday, there was a meeting in the city and in the court.
Among the people who had conflicts with officials...do you remember the prince's son?"
Prince Darhan and Princess Duanmin only have one son, the prince's son Norbu Zanggunbu. However, even though many years have passed, Bendi will not forget that King Darhan and his concubine also have a son! That child was given to many people back then.
Erjilai raised her, which is a secret known to only a few people among the Borzigit family.
When it came to Darhan, Bandi did not refuse directly. He pretended to think for a moment, and then said: "Yesterday, the matter came to the attention of the emperor. Prince Zhi immediately made a decision and killed the bastard eunuch who caused the trouble. But how to deal with it depends on the emperor's decision. mean."
Dorji knew that Bendi was telling the truth, and nodded sadly while stroking his chest. While the two were talking, Babeile had already walked into the Qianqing Palace with several Mongolian princes. What Lao Ba did not expect was that, His eldest brother is in front of the emperor.
