The time when the Mongolian princes came to Chengde was always the busiest time in this place. They brought cattle and sheep slaves to visit Kangxi. Medicinal materials merchants and fur traders from the mainland were here, and it was also the time when the imperial court brought back horses from the grassland.
All of a sudden, the streets of Chengde were crowded with people. Kangxi in the villa also started intensive diplomatic exchanges. This year, it was Yinzhi who was in charge of entertaining the Mongols. This was okay, but as usual, the Mongolian vassal king wanted to meet the crown prince.
This is a rule established by Kangxi over the years.
This has been a regular practice for more than ten years. But this year, Kangxi said that the prince had been unwell recently and was recuperating, so there was no need to see him in court.
The Mongolian Khans are fine, but the most difficult ones are the Yinti brothers and the clan princes such as Yaerjiang'a, such as King Jian Yaerjiang'a. At this moment, I want to look up to the sky and scream. It's so difficult for me.
What does Khan Amma want? It depends on the prince's face, but he can take Deshou and Hongxi with him. When King Darhan was present a few days ago, the emperor even praised their brothers, saying, "
My two grandsons look like their grandsons back then, they are good at studying and behave decently. I am very proud to have grandsons like this."
After all, he was still praising the prince... The old man's thoughts became more and more difficult to guess. Yaerjiang'a felt that he would lose a few more hairs. He thought that good times would come after he became a prince, but he didn't expect that his family would live in peace.
, the imperial court was uneasy!
And the prince, I don’t know what happened, but he also said that he wanted to invite the brothers to dinner... Who knows if it is the Hongmen Banquet, who dares to go!
"Hey, King Jian is in a bad mood?" Yinti finished today's inspection of the dormitory and was about to go back to the yard to have dinner with his son when he saw Yaerjiang Ading staring at the rockery, motionless and not knowing what he was thinking
.
As soon as Yaerjiang'a turned around and saw Yinti, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother is teasing me..."
"No matter what, just listen to Khan Ama." Yinzhi knew what he was doing at a glance, because Yinzhi said he had a headache, Yinzhen said he had a toothache, and even Yinxiang said, "Practice fire with Shi Shi and the others."
The "gun" flag disappeared.
Not for any other reason, but because of the prince's treat, they all planned to avoid it. But let Yinti say, I'm afraid they can't avoid it. Just like just now, it was Deshou who pulled Honghan over and asked his uncle to come.
feast……
Even if you avoid the prince like a snake and a scorpion, it's not like now. For example, if Wang Shizhen was dismissed from office, even if someone guessed that it was because of the prince, who would dare to say nonsense.
Is it not allowed to communicate normally with the prince?
Even Kangxi did not dare to say this directly, and he would not express this emotion clearly even on a small scale. The relationship between the emperor and the prince was so delicate, and it was difficult to maintain a balance.
Even if Yinti was sure that Kangxi had already observed the prince, or even had signs of abolishing the crown prince, he did not want to be the first to do so. The more this time came, the more the emperor hoped that his sons would be peaceful and filial. He had to continue to be a friendly and tolerant person.
Good brother, let’s go to the banquet.
Sometimes Yinti feels that Yinreng is also depressed. Although he will also think of him as a willful, domineering, suspicious and unforgiving person, but because of his position, who can say that he will be better than Yinreng if he has sat in such a position since he was a child...
Yinti is very clear about the impact of the environment on people. In his last life, he lived to be in his twenties, but in this life he has been a feudal noble for thirty years. At that time, he could only climb rocks to die, but now he can take away others with ease
's life.
Yinfeng held the cup with his brothers, and Yinti smiled when he saw Yinzhi looking embarrassed and being caught by the prince and drinking wine. The fourth child next to him was trying to persuade him, saying "the third brother is a little drunk" and so on.
The atmosphere at the banquet was not bad, Yinti came, but the other older brothers, including King Jian, failed to withstand the prince's "offensive" in the end and came to the banquet honestly.
After the prince poured Yinzhi several cups of wine, the third child turned red in the face, and was let go by the prince. He walked over with a half-smile and said to Yinzhi, "Brother, come and have a drink together?"
"The guest does as he pleases, and of course he listens to the prince." Yinti poured himself three cups, touching each cup with Yinreng, and both of them drank it down in one gulp.
At first glance, the banquet was quite lively. But when I was in the middle of the game, I realized that everyone was absent-minded and seemed to have thorns under their butts. Yinreng raised his wine glass and said, "I have been the crown prince for nearly thirty years. Over the years, Meng Khan has
The Ma Xun teaching has made some achievements, and I will need help from my brothers in the future."
"Come and drink this cup with Guman!"
The banquet, which seemed to be a joyful one for both the guests and the host, was over. The brothers all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they had finally gotten through this.
"They say we are dragons and phoenixes, but who knows that we also have our own difficulties." After leaving the prince's place, Yinzhi sighed with emotion.
Yinzhen sighed, "Third brother, please stop talking." Who among the people standing here doesn't know this!
"Well, I have some errands to do, so I'll leave first." Yaerjiang didn't want to say anything more, and after bidding farewell to several princes, he hurried away.
"Little King Jian... I see that Khan Ama intends to let him take charge of the affairs of the family. It's a good job." This is the third son who is sour again. I want Yinti to say, good guy, this is simply a lemon.
Yinti was too lazy to pay attention to this lemon. He turned around and was about to leave when he saw Ma Guoxian, Hong Ruohan, Bai Jin, Xu Risheng and other missionaries walking over, followed by a group of eunuchs carrying things.
When the two groups of people met, they were all familiar with each other. Not to mention Yinzhi, even Yinzhi was very knowledgeable about Western learning, especially arithmetic. When they met and greeted each other, Bai Jin took the initiative and said before the princes asked, "This is what the emperor wants to ask tomorrow"
Mongolian lords listened to Western music.
"Can they also understand this?" Yinzhi almost laughed out loud, "Play the harp to a cow, and play the harp to an ox. It's a waste of all my hard work to give it to them."
Yinzhen frowned when he heard the laughter of the third brother next to him, and subconsciously stood next to his eldest brother. Yinzhen said, "Third brother, stop laughing, do you think that is the eunuch Wei Zhu in front of Khan Ama?"
Wei Zhu and his men came to look for them. He came up and said, "Brothers, the emperor has a decree to send you over."
Kangxi called them over at night. It was not a big deal, but a reward.
The slaves, cattle and sheep brought by the Mongolian princes were presented to the emperor as usual, and Kangxi also rewarded sons as usual, but there were several sons around him. Except for those who were too young, they were allotted to the fourteenth
.
There are also male and female slaves, and there are family members, and there are also specially appointed servants, who are usually women of decent appearance.
This kind of reward is a common thing, and everyone is used to it. For example, Yinti is left to work on the farm, or smart and sensible ones are chosen to be placed in the garden, and when they are old enough, they can be married.
If you are lucky enough to be favored by the prince's elder brother, you will be able to live a good life. If you are lucky enough to have a child, your family name will be left on the jade plate.
Anyway, there is no shortage of people to serve the dragon and phoenix grandsons, especially those like them who have been granted titles and opened mansions. Brother Yinti accepted people as usual and thanked him. Then he heard Kangxi ask, "The prince is holding a banquet today. I thought you didn't leave."
, so I asked Wei Zhu to come over."
Come, sure enough, they came, and several elder brothers sighed inwardly. Fortunately, Kangxi did not continue talking. He just asked them about their errands and homework, and then all these elders retreated. Only Yarjiang'a was left, and Kangxi
There seems to be something to ask.
The emperor held the tea and looked at the shadow of the mountains outside the window. After a while, he said, "Have all the princes gone to the banquet? How are they and how is the prince?"
"The younger brothers below the 14th elder brother were not present. Because they were young, the 13th elder brother and the 14th elder brother only sat for a while and left..." Yarjiang'a was careful and tried to use his wording as accurately as possible, "Zhijun
The King, Three Belles, and Four Belles are kept until the end."
"The prince just talked and drank with the princes. He said that he had been taught by the emperor for many years and had finally made some achievements. In the future, he would need help from his brothers."
He didn't think anything of it at the time, but now, standing in front of the emperor to report, Yaerjiang'a suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the term "in the future"... This could be said to be after today, or after Khan Amana...
…
Yaerjiang'a wished he could shut his mouth, but Kangxi's face became increasingly ugly, and he finally waved him away.
During this year's trip to Chengde, the crown prince was excluded from all the meetings with the Mongolian kings and other activities, but during the Kangxi operation, he brought longevity and Hongxi with him. This strange situation continued until the end of this year's summer vacation trip.
From Chengde to the capital, a group of people had to return to the capital in a mighty brigade. Yinti was still in charge of the guard. He took the time to see his son. Over the summer, Honghan was tanned, but he was also taller and stronger.
Among this group of children, only Deshou looked a little worried, and the other children were still young after all. They were still happily chasing each other on horseback. Yinti glanced at it from a distance and told Honghan's eunuch and his bodyguard Sabintu to take care of them.
Big brother.
As the actual person in charge of the security work, Yin Ti keenly discovered that the guards in the emperor's car were more strict than when they arrived, but they also made a relaxed appearance. Specifically, the guards looked the same as usual.
, but the Shanpu Battalion has been transferred to the front, and the Firearms Battalion is quietly responsible for the outer perimeter.
Why did Yinti know?
Because Bart was in the Shanpu camp and Enheli, Enchuo's son, was in the Firearms camp, both of them showed up next to the imperial chariot.
Yinti knew it well and did not say much. His position was similar to that of an imperial minister, and he was responsible for the peripheral guards and army guards. He made arrangements as usual and pretended that there was no movement around Kangxi.
The outside is loose and the inside is tight, which is nothing more than the person who is on guard taking action, waiting to invite you to enter the urn. As for who to guard against, who else can it be... Of course it is the prince. In order to avoid trouble, Yin Ti cut off the news from the East Palace.
Delivery - In order to ensure safety after the establishment of the government, messages were delivered in separate links. If one link was cut off, he would not be able to be traced.
It's easy to cut off, but what happened to the prince now, Yinti can't find out. Over the years, the situation has changed, and the battlefield has been fought. Yinti smelled a bit of blood, but he didn't know where the source came from.
In the royal chariot, Kangxi asked coldly, "Are the people who were running around in Chengde before, definitely the servants of the prince's tea room and his haha beads? Are they the same ones who are spying on my chariot on the road now?"
"I'm sure, I'm sure." Tong Lin said on his knees, "Since I left Chengde, I've been keeping an eye on them for almost ten days. It's this group of people."
"...Okay." Kangxi squeezed out two words from between his teeth, and said with the vigor of biting gold and jade, "You quietly lead people to arrest them for me! Listen, don't let any news come out,
