A few days ago, before Kangxi came to Changchun Garden, he and the prince went to the Hongde Hall on the west side behind the Qianqing Palace - this is the place where the emperor's grandchildren study.
The father and son walked in tandem, and Kangxi suddenly asked, "Do you know what the story behind Zhaoren Hall is?" Zhaoren Hall is located to the east behind Qianqing Palace, just opposite Hongde Hall.
When Yinreng heard Kangxi's question, he bowed slightly and said, "Return to Khan's Ama, I remember, this is the place where Li broke into the capital in the last years of the previous dynasty, and Chongzhen killed his daughter Princess Zhaoren. It has only been since the late emperor worshiped Confucius in Hongde Hall. After the master, Hongde and Zhaoren were both places where the emperor studied."
"Well, so I ordered the princes and grandsons to study in Hongde Hall, and I read my thesis in Zhaoren Hall, which is also a warning." Kangxi stared at the prince with a deep look and said, "You have to understand my painstaking efforts."
The prince lowered his hands.
There are not only the young prince and several grandsons in the study, but also Yinzhi's eldest son Hongqing, Ful Hulun's eldest son Guangyan, and Yinqi's eldest son Hongsheng. The eldest among the princes is the twelfth prince Yin Oh, but this one is already getting married and is busy, so he doesn't need to come to the study every day.
Other elder brothers, as long as they had no errands, such as Lao Jiu and Lao Ten, had to go to the palace on time to study. Even if Yinhu and Ful Hulun had errands, Kangxi also required Yinhu to send a calligraphy to the palace every ten days. , asking Ful Hulun to write poetry...
In short, the academic pressure was not completely relieved by getting married, leaving the palace and opening a mansion. Even Yinzhi and Yinzhi had to write notes from time to time and send them to the palace for the emperor's review.
So when Kangxi met these little grandsons, he specifically mentioned, "You, Ama, have also been studying in the palace for many years, and you have the ability today to serve the court and share my worries. You are still young, so it is your time." When you work hard to learn the ways of civil and military affairs."
"Not only must we understand the classics and historical articles, but we must also continue to bow, ride, and shoot, and never forget the legacy of our ancestors."
Kangxi talked about the "educational instructions in the study room of Hongde Hall" for half an hour. The princes and grandsons were dizzy after being instructed. Even Yinreng felt that there was no need to say so much, right? Khan Ama was not like this in the past. Is it true that the older people get, the more verbose they become?
"What book is De Shou reading?"
Deshou, who was eleven years old, stood up and said, "Returning to Hanma Dharma, my grandson is reading Zhongyong, history books are reading Hanshu, and the master is also teaching his grandson to familiarize himself with the laws of this dynasty."
"You have to ask more about it," Kangxi said to the prince, "Teach him more about the laws and history of this dynasty."
Yinreng responded in a low voice. He was very happy in his heart. This was Khan Ama expressing a certain attitude. He looked at Deshou, his eyes full of encouragement. Son, you can't behave abnormally at this time!
"Since Deshou has begun to study the laws of this dynasty, let me ask you, what do you think is the foundation of our country outside the customs?"
"Return to Khan Ma Fa, my grandson thinks so," De Shou thought for a moment, then saw Amma's diligent eyes, and chose a saying he often heard, "Of course the foundation of a country is archery, horse riding, and shooting. Only by maintaining victory can we gain a foothold in Liaodong and look to the Central Plains!"
Yinreng breathed a sigh of relief. At any rate, the answer was quite appropriate and not a bad one. But seeing that Kangxi's face was really noncommittal, he smiled and asked, "Hongxi, what do you think?"
Deshou's heart tightened, and he subconsciously thought it was because Mafa was not satisfied with his answer. He looked at his father. Yinreng shook his head at his son, asking him to calm down.
Hong Xi said, "Han Mafa, my grandson has the same opinion as my elder brother. This dynasty is based on archery, horse riding, and archery!" He is still young, and he can hear talk about this aspect every day, and only those who practice riding and archery.
Shi Shuda often said something on his lips, and he naturally thought that was the answer.
The emperor didn't say anything, but praised them for their good answers and said that they were still young and must study hard. Afterwards, Kangxi asked several princes about their homework and left with the prince.
In the study room of Chunmingyuan, Yinti stared at a picture hanging on the wall with the words "There is no peace and no return. There is no blame for hardship and fidelity. Don't be sorry for one's faults, and you will be blessed with food." He listened to Hong Han's words in his ears.
.
"...My son doesn't understand. In fact, what my cousin said makes sense, but why does Khan Mafa look dissatisfied?"
"Because that's not what you, Khan Mafa, want to hear." Yinti finally turned around, looked at his eldest son who had passed the desk height, and said with a smile, "What do you think, why did you, Khan Mafa, only ask them and not you?"
Hong Han was silent for a moment before saying, "Because they are the sons of the prince, brother Deshou is still the eldest son of the prince. But the eunuch next to his son also said that because brother Deshou is in poor health, he gets sick for a while every year, and the people in Yuqing Palace also fawn over Hong.
Clear."
It was good for a seven-year-old child to think of this step. Yinti pulled him down to his side, purring his hair with a smile, "Do you remember what Ama said to you? Don't think about it. As for why you, Mafa, are not satisfied,
But he is not demanding, because he also found that this problem is too big. For example, the bow and horse can enter the pass and invade the Central Plains, which is naturally tyrannical force, but is this the credit of the founding of the country by the bow and horse? "
Hong Han was very confused. Everyone around him, from the master to Haha Zhuzi and then to Shuda, said that because this dynasty started with archery and archery, so in order not to fall into the style of their ancestors, they must practice hard in riding and archery. Isn't this right?
?
Yinti thought about his son's age and understanding ability, and decided not to explain it in a comprehensive way, but explained the problem from one side, "Honghan, I won't tell you anything else, just about archery and horse riding.
You have to know that this dynasty does not rely on archery, horse riding, and archery."
"What is that?" Hong Han looked at Amma in shock, acting like an ordinary child.
"It relies on firearms and artillery." Yinti repeated solemnly, "You have to remember that this dynasty has been good at using firearms from the beginning. Do you think that when we entered the customs, how many Manchu and Mongolian bannermen were there? How many could join the army?
People? If they are not able to use firearms, they can win over the Green Camp..."
At this time, the imperial court still had ideas about firearms, and was guided by pragmatism to enhance the technical level of firearms, especially artillery. However, due to limited technology, they could only work on range and angle.
But from Kangxi to Qianlong, it was a typical case of "fooling and fooling yourself into lameness". Lies repeated ten thousand times became the truth. The nonsense of "starting one's career with horseback riding and archery" was really banned a hundred years after the founding of the country.
As a model, no one cares about how the Khans and Kings outside the Guan Dynasty started their careers, how cunning and cunning they were, and how they knew how to keep pace with the times.
I really thought that I was destined to be the emperor, Yinti thought in his heart, and seeing Honghan half understanding and half not understanding, he said, "Honghan, Ama has never asked you in the past, do you know why you want to do this?"
Reading?"
Hong Han hesitantly observed Yin Ti's face and carefully replied, "Back to Ama, my son doesn't know... You have taught your son to read since he was a child. My mother, my sister, and my brothers also read, and they have continued to read."
"Haha." Yinti laughed and said, "Then Amma will tell you that reading is to make you understand many things, especially how something became what it is now. Just like the question you Mafa asked
, the more you read, the more you will understand what the foundation of this dynasty was and what it has become today. Do you understand?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now. If you study slowly, you will understand it in the future."
Honghan leaned against Amma and suddenly said a little aggrievedly, "Amma, the masters of Hanma's method named Deshou and Hongxi called them Dianxian. My son and Hongqing don't have to learn... Hongxi is not older than me."
Yin Ti secretly laughed in his heart and coaxed his son to say, "What's the matter? Your Ama and I have written military notes back then. Isn't it just a court standard? When you go home, Ama will tell you! Besides, now I will give it to you."
Who is the master?"
"There are also piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the master who is mainly responsible for teaching everyone is Xu Yuanmeng, and there is also a young Hanlin who is responsible for his son and Hongxi's homework, named Yang Jie."
"Yang Jie, it's him." Yindi's eyes flashed, "What a coincidence. Okay, you don't have to study when you come back today, just play with your sisters and brothers!"
When Hong Han left the study, the loud laughter of several children outside could be heard, and then Yin Ti called Qin Ji and the eunuch He Shouzhong who was following Hong Han.
"Master and disciple, please pay more attention to your elder brother. He is still young and studies alone in the palace. Yanxi Palace sometimes cannot take care of him." Yinti asked, "For example, this Yang Jie, who is here?"
How about the study, and how about the eldest brother?"
He Shouzhong said, "I told my master that Editor Yang is a professor from the previous department. He has only been here not long ago, so I can't tell much about it."
After listening to He Shouzhong's report, Yinti decided to go to Ziyi Garden another day. Kuixu was following Kangxi as the head of the Hanlin Academy, and he would naturally return to Ziyi Garden after he resigned.
In Ziyi Garden, only Kuexu, Chengde, Kuifang's family and Kuixu's daughter-in-law were in the city. Mrs. Jueluo was in poor health. Except for Kuexu, who had to stay with the emperor, everyone else stayed at home to take care of the illness and to take precautions against the old lady.
There is something good or bad.
"Your Majesty, you are really," Kui Xu said with a smile, his white face and slight beard, "To be honest with you, Yang Jie went to the study room because it was originally ordered by the Emperor. He is from Chuanlu, a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River, the son of the Pope and the grandson of the Pope, at least he is not allowed to study.
It will teach them bad things.”
"original?"
Kuixu took a sip of tea before saying, "Originally, he and several other Manchu and Han scholars were prepared by the emperor for the fourth elder brother of Yuqing Palace. If the child had not died in infancy, he would have studied with Hong Jin this year. But the child died in infancy.
These Hanlin bachelors still have to make arrangements, and Yang Jie was assigned to Brother Honghan. Even I didn't expect it. It was really a coincidence."
"Besides, if it was my arrangement, I would have to tell you anyway."
Kuixu held the tea bowl and suddenly said, "By the way, I'm afraid the prince doesn't know yet. Today, the emperor ordered the prince to coordinate the relocation of the Beijing flag. The fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother were named to participate. Will the emperor let the emperor's elder brothers
Are you going to take care of the ministry again?”
After the elder prince was knighted, he was in charge of the ministry. This was the norm in the early years of the Shunzhi Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty. Kuixu was a little worried. After all, for such a big matter, the emperor ignored Prince Zhijun and Sanbeile, especially Prince Zhijun.
, this shouldn’t be the case.
"No." Yinti said decisively without thinking, "What Khan Ama has done over the years is to weaken the influence of the banner owner, even his own son. Now that he is in the prime of his life, he wants his elder brothers to take charge of the ministry? Impossible
of."
"However, Lao Ba is now in charge of the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Khan Ama didn't mention his name in this matter?" Yinti shook his head, a little strange.
Kuixu put down the tea bowl, "Why not? Before the emperor issued an order to the prince, he asked Babeile to count the three flags under his banner. Speaking of which, Babeile is still very capable in running errands, and he is a courteous, gentle and humble person, which is rare. Before, Babeile
There was a banquet at Baylor's Mansion, and I was invited there. Baylor has a lot of friends."
"That's true. It's true that my eighth brother can do things well. His part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in good order, and there has been no mistakes in the past two years." Yinti smiled half-heartedly, "Kai Gong thinks he is very good?"
