In the 40th year of Kangxi's reign, on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Warm Pavilion of Qianqing Palace was held.
The prince, Prince Zhi, and the five Belles were all here. This was the last time that the princes who had opened their palaces before New Year's Eve came to pay their respects to the emperor. The father, son, and brothers chatted with each other, and there was nothing the old man didn't care about, from academic questions to housework.
Yinti admired Kangxi's memory. From the time of his longevity, he brought his family Surige and Honghan to the seventh son, all of whom were remembered in the emperor's mind. In this way, Kangxi also said with a smile, "Your brother is also long." Get up, if there are more grandsons in the future, I’m afraid I won’t be able to remember them all.”
This is also true. There will only be more and more grandchildren of the emperor. In the future, it will just be a report from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. All their children will be registered with the emperor because Ama is ranked first. In the future, the little brothers will grow up. , except for the eldest son of each government, those who come after him may have less of the fate of ancestors and grandchildren.
The next day is New Year's Eve, and the princes who opened the palace need to participate in a series of sacrifices at home, and there is a large set of etiquette procedures to go through. They worship ancestors and gods in the main hall of the palace, and the whole family must participate. On this day, they have to stay up late, and Yinti and Daoqin compete with each other. As we sat chatting, we watched a few children start to doze off.
"Come here, take the second elder brother and the second princess to the Nuan Pavilion and tell them to have a good sleep." Daoqin ordered, "Su Rige and Hong Han too, don't go back to your own yard, just have a good sleep here. Tomorrow My son still has to go to the palace."
The children were all taken down, and the couple were left alone in the room. They asked the eunuch girl to remove the kang table, and brought hot wine and side dishes again. It happened that the couple took the time to have a drink.
Daoqin leaned against her husband casually, and her eyes fell on Yinti's chin. The green stubble seemed to be very attractive. Daoqin couldn't help but reached out and touched it, "Brother, are you planning to grow a beard?"
"I'm in my thirties, so it's not too early to grow a beard. Would you like it if I had a beard?" Yinti smiled and deliberately rubbed his wife's forehead with the stubble, causing Daoqin to avoid it with a smile. .
They haven't had this kind of time for a long time. The two of them talk quietly. When they don't want to talk, they hold hands and lean together. Leaving the children and things outside the house behind, they feel quiet and quiet, as if they have returned to the time when they just got married. , just the two of them.
Yinti stared at Daoqin's hair, lowered his head and kissed her black temples, interlocking their fingers, and their shadows merged into one.
There is no need to rush into the palace for the banquet on the first day of the new year. The grand banquet starts in the evening, and the clan members usually enter the palace after noon. The only ones who will stay to have a banquet with the emperor are the princes, grandsons, and the Chineda clan. This is a serious family. The atmosphere of the banquet is easy-going and relaxed. In Fujin, the princesses, led by the crown princess, will go to Ningshou Palace to greet the old empress and also receive a family banquet.
When Yinfeng and Yinti came together, Kangxi was studying in Xinuang Pavilion. Yinti had good eyesight, and he noticed at a glance that the old man was reading old Tang books. Moreover, the pen and ink were nearby. Could it be that he was writing about his reading experience...
"Khan Ama," the prince stepped forward and said, "My son is here with the order, but I don't know what Khan Ama has ordered."
"Well, I don't have any instructions. I called you here because I remembered the matter between the Ministry of Industry and the River Affairs." Kangxi pointed at Yinti, "The governor of Cao sent an urgent note, saying that the grain transport ship was broken on the road. Fortunately, No one was killed. River management and water transportation are a century-old event, and River Supervisor Dai Zi did a good job. Water transportation is also a difficult task."
"That's what Khan Amma said." Yinreng said, "Although Sang'e did nothing wrong as the governor of water transportation, after all, he changed his position from military attache to civilian. In this position, he still can't keep up with the details."
Yin Ti's eyebrows jumped at that time. He didn't believe that Yin Reng didn't know that the Governor of Cao had many jurisdictions and it was impossible to take care of them all. Could the Governor of Cao still inspect every water transport ship? The Crown Prince opened his mouth and said Sang E did it
If it's not good enough, it would be too picky.
But Prince Zhi didn't say anything, and Kangxi didn't continue to talk about this topic. But since the canal affairs were mentioned, this dynasty could not avoid the dispute between Jin Fu and Mu Tianyan in any way, and was involved in it.
Yu Chenglong, Guo Xiu, the Xu brothers and others will naturally be mentioned.
"Back then, Mu Tianyan and Jin Fu were fighting, which caused unrest in the government and the public. At least now, the river governors and the governors of the capital are working together and are loyal to the king. The sons and ministers have little understanding, and they are better than the superiors." Yinti said.
Mu Tianyan and Jin Fu were fighting, and Mingzhu and Suo'etu were involved behind the scenes. Xu Qianxue was dead, and Guo Xiu was alive. Yinreng looked at the eldest brother, and Yinti dared to say that he was not afraid of Khan Ama.
I remembered that Sang E was his disciple of the Han Army with the Blue Flag.
Of course Yinreng didn't know that many years ago, his good eldest brother had confessed to Khan Amma and even "sold" his uncle Mingzhu. And Kangxi naturally put his pure, filial and loyal eldest son in
With a clean slate, I think what King Nao said makes sense.
"...Furthermore," Yinti spoke before Yinreng unintentionally, "Guo Xiu had been brothers with Yu Chenglong for a long time, and he and Sun Zaifeng were in the same year as Gengxu Ke, Lu Zuxiu was Mu Tianyan's disciple, and Guo Xiu was
Xu Qian passed the exam. Khan Amma knew that in his early years, his son had always felt that the atmosphere under his banner was not good, between the banner master and his disciples, and between the banner master and the banner master... But now it seems that the connection between those who came from the imperial examination is amazing.
"
Sun Zaifeng and Lu Zuxiu were both censors in those days. When Jin and Mu were fighting, these people often used their status as officials to attack Jin Fu.
Kangxi nodded, but the prince was alarmed. He knew all these names. He was the prince and had been around the court since he was a child. When the prince was supervising the country, he often read the old files of the court. He had sufficient resources and was in a high position.
Of course he will care about his position.
But when these things happened, Yinti was not very old, and later he did not have the opportunity to have in-depth contact with the court like the prince. Then these things were himself, and Yinti suddenly realized that no matter how the eldest brother Mingzhu taught him how to manipulate the whole
Observing the dynasty, or later Yinti conducted in-depth research on his own, both show that...
In the past, Yinreng only thought that his eldest brother had a clear understanding of the court affairs. Now Yinreng understood that Prince Zhi was also very clear about the personnel of the court. If he was only willing to be an assistant minister, he could just focus on military affairs and river affairs.
, why is it necessary to make the connection between ministers so clear?
After all, the feud between Jin Fu, the Mingzhu family and the Xu family has long passed, and he has not had a bad opinion of the Nalan family for many years. Yinti is definitely not worried about his mother's family. On the contrary, he is paying attention to these for his own sake!
The crown prince suddenly felt regretful. Perhaps what Suo'etu said was not all lies. He saw that Khan Ama and himself seemed to have a rift. Therefore, Yinti, who had not spoken much about government affairs in the past, now did not hide it at all and began to reveal his secrets.
Ability...?
"Khan Ama, just now my eldest brother mentioned these people, I suddenly thought that Guo Xiu will return to Beijing after the new year. The matter between him and Fulun needs to be settled by Khan Ama," Yinreng said.
Now that old things are coming out and there will be another imperial examination after the new year, my son is very worried."
What the prince said was right, and Kangxi nodded in agreement. The matter between Guo Xiu and Fulun was at least a sequelae of party strife, but at worst it was a dispute between bannermen and Han people. Kangxi definitely did not want to use his talents in the court.
If there is any big news at the important moment of the ceremony, Folan must fall.
"Yinti, what do you think?" Kangxi asked. Yinti also looked at Prince Zhi. He couldn't tell what he wanted the other party to say, whether to defend or give up.
The prince of Zhijun seemed very relaxed. "After returning to Khan Ama, I thought that Fo Lun was already old. If he were to serve as an official, it would be a way to protect the court's dignity. If Guo Xiu refused to give up, he must be punished... Buddha
Lun himself admitted that he deserved his crime and had nothing to say."
After all, he is the person who has made officials and gentry pay for themselves together. Yinti does not want to mention Fo Lun in the future. Everyone only knows that he is a member of the elite party. It is not honorable to work with the same party and oppose dissidents. Because of this, his reputation will be ruined, which means that he is in trouble.
No matter how many things were done in the past, it would be a waste of effort. Kangxi would not kill everyone in order to retreat, not to mention that this was mixed with the previous dynasty and the current dynasty, and Kangxi definitely did not want to expand it.
After listening to Yinti's words, Yinti felt in his heart that "he is still the same as before", but there was another voice in his mind that "this person has always been good at pretentiousness", and no matter what, he had to "care" more about this elder brother.
Yin Reng forced a smile and said, "Khan Ama, the time for the banquet is coming soon."
Kangxi was sitting on the throne of Qianqing Palace. Looking from top to bottom, there were already three generations in the palace. His brothers, his sons and grandsons, nephews and grandnephews were all in the palace. Family banquets were always about family etiquette, and the atmosphere in the palace was harmonious and everyone was there.
Under the leadership of the prince, they toasted to Kangxi, and then they all got together to play.
The Qianqing Palace family banquet is an annual day when "it doesn't matter if you get drunk in front of the emperor." Kangxi was also particularly tolerant at this time. The emperor who used to say "don't overdo it" when seeing his sons drinking, did not do so on this day.
He won't be so disappointed. But when he sees his son acting out of tune, he will still say something to stop him.
"Baoqing! You gave Honghan wine?" Kangxi's voice was full of disbelief, "You actually gave wine to the child!"
Prince Zhi had a look of injustice on his face, "Khan Ama, my son is wronged. It is obviously this boy who insists on trying it himself." There were not many emperors and grandsons present today, and they all sat with their respective Ama, and Hong Han was right next to Yinti.
, his face was already red.
"Hurry up and ask someone to bring sobering soup." The emperor felt that he was quite tired when his unattractive son was put on the stall. Kangxi simply walked down, first asked Yinti to hold the pot, and Yinreng poured the wine, and together with Prince Yu, Gong
The kings each had a drink, and Ful Hulun came over to toast his uncle alone.
"I have tasted the Western wine that the priest brought in today several times. Although it is not as good as the royal wine, it has a different flavor." Kangxi was very happy today. "Bring them out and let everyone try them."
After turning around, Kangxi ordered the prince to entertain the royal families, and he was helped by Yinti to sit on the throne. Just as Yinti was about to take two steps back and get off the stage, he heard Kangxi ask, "Are you okay now?"
