"The decree is drawn up. The war in the south will be peaceful. Prince An Yue Le has worked hard and achieved great results. I am worried about the emperor's uncle and will transfer him back to the capital."
When Yin A was brought to Yangxin Hall, Kangxi was summoning ministers, and he was sent to a side room by Liang Jiugong. Across the palace, Kangxi could still be heard saying: "Prince Kang Jie Shu ordered him to continue southward and advance to the Xiamen line.
, to regain lost ground.”
The voices of ministers continued to come from behind. I was afraid that it would not be over for a while. Liang Jiugong brought some snacks: "Brother, sit down for a while. The master has asked you to find a book and read it. I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to take care of this for now.
"
"Thank you Liang Shuda." Yin A smiled and said: "I'm just reading a book and won't run around. Shuda will go and do his work."
Nuange in Yangxin Hall was once the study room of Emperor Shunzhi. Yin A walked around the bookshelf and looked back and forth. There were quite a lot of books here. In addition to the Twenty-Two Histories, there were also some historical records of previous dynasties and county annals from various places.
What is this? Yin A found that there was something wrong with the placement of the books against the wall. He curiously took out the books and walked around to the other side. He found that there seemed to be books on the other side. When he took them out, he found that they were fake spines.
This is a deliberate deception.
He reached out and touched it, and found that there were still a few books sandwiched between these books and the bookshelf baffle. He took out these books with a force. These books were not thick, but the covers were all blank. Yin
a opened it and took a quick look, and then my heartbeat soared to one hundred and eighty.
"The barbarians who are so anxious that they can't be killed all wear the same gold-threaded rat sash and red tasseled dog hats. They wish they could call the big-nosed Badu their fathers." After seeing this sentence, Yin'a knew this book.
What is a book.
Coincidentally, this book was mentioned by An Xiu's father, the researcher: The Eternal Sorrow of Returning to the Village.
Yin'a flipped through these two books, and there were actually annotations on them... Which god collected these, and they could be hidden in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.
"Baoqing, what are you looking at?"
Kangxi's voice came from behind, frightening Yin'a. He stood up straight and hid the book behind him. Kangxi's face was slightly tired, but he still smiled gently at him and said: "I can't be in this study.
Did you find any rare treasures?"
"...Don't be angry when you see it. I saw something was wrong in the bookcase. I found it randomly." Yin A hesitantly handed the book over. Kangxi took it with a smile, flipped through two pages and his expression suddenly changed, and then he immediately regained his composure, but
sigh.
Kangxi held the two books in his hands and was silent for a long time. When he raised his head, he saw his son's worried face. He waved to Yin'a and said, "This is the book of the late emperor."
"Emperor Shizuzhang?" This is Shunzhi's book? Yin'a looked unbelieving.
"Yes, your Mafa, Emperor Shizuzhang." Kangxi fiddled with these books: "He also had people rehearse the song Eternal Sorrow in the palace, and gave it to the Empress Dowager..." He was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke, and what he said next was unclear.
It was a good idea to tell the child, but Kangxi swallowed it hard.
"Did the late emperor admire the poetry, music, and classics of the Central Plains?" The room was quiet and troubled. Yin A looked at the books: "Otherwise, he would have torn off the book covers, bound them again, and left them in the Yangxin Hall.
"
"Well, more than that." Kangxi looked at his son's dark eyes and replied: "He once wore the dragon robe of the previous dynasty and walked through the city with a winged crown. There were very few clan nobles who supported him. Then there would be only
Prince An...Prince An supports him."
"But that day when my son went out to race horses, he heard that King An was encircling the land in the suburbs of Beijing." Yin A looked confused.
Kangxi smiled and said: "King An has twenty sons and twenty daughters. The children are good and bad, and not all of them may obey him. He is fighting outside. I can't hold on to such things. Some things have to be done slowly.
, Khan Amma may not finish it in the future, the prince will continue to do it, and you have to help the prince."
"My son knows!" Yin'a replied without any psychological barriers.
He knew that according to Kangxi's current plan, the prince should succeed to the throne. And he, or his future elder brother, should select good assistants to the prince to ensure the stability of the empire.
No matter which dynasty it is, the emperor needs his own people. It does not mean that after becoming emperor, everyone will recognize his status. Is it useful for Cao Cao to recognize the status of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty? He can only issue decrees but not leave the Forbidden City.
What Yin A has to do is to grow up steadily, and use every opportunity to get closer to the father-son relationship with the emperor, and to get closer to his relatives. Shouldn't he build a good reputation for himself now, and wait until he grows up to become popular?
.
This is not difficult for Yin A, who grew up with his ancestors and always dealt with his elders. People's emotional needs are nothing more than those.
Seeing Kangxi put away the books, Yin'a wanted to let the father and son get along for a while, so he found a topic: "Khan Ama, what kind of person is Mafa?"
"……What do you think?"
Kangxi looked at his son and frowned and said slowly: "My son has never seen Mafa, so I can't tell. But, if he can read such a book, he should be very tolerant and polite?"
"When you grow up a little, Ama will ask you to compile the records of the ancestors. You will know then." Kangxi said: "I asked you to come here because I wanted to check your homework, but I heard you have some skills.
, that’s it for today. You go back and study hard with Alam, you know?”
"My son must study hard!" Yin'a smiled and said: "Khan Ama, don't forget that my son will compile the records of the ancestors in the future, it's a deal!"
"Okay, I'll keep my word. Let's go."
Kangxi sat on the kang, flipping through the late emperor's notes and books, and read them for a long time. Until Liang Jiugong came in, he heard Kangxi murmur to himself: "Yin is diligent and studious, intelligent and decent; Yin is fond of bows and horses, and has a good understanding of kindness. In the future,
I feel relieved that they are brothers working together."
His sons will not be like him, he will be the best father and they will be the best sons.
The eunuchs in the Forbidden City all have a skill that Yin A admires very much: if you don't need them, they are just like invisible men. And when you need them, they will appear immediately.
For example, just now, everyone following Yin A was invisible throughout the whole process, and when Yin A left the Yangxin Hall, he immediately appeared behind Yin A.
"Brother, aren't you going to turn back?" Everyone said, "The bachelor's degree student should be waiting for you."
"There is something going on at the Hanlin Academy today. Bachelor Alam will give me a lecture tomorrow. I will go to Cining Palace to greet the old queen first, and then go horse riding in the afternoon." Yin A smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer.
"
This apprentice from the consulting firm, although tall and mighty, doesn't look like a eunuch, but he still follows the rules. Yin A has never used him very much, but he always feels that Qin Ji from Yanxi Palace makes him more at ease.
"I'm not afraid of food or death." They all whispered: "My master has told me that following my master depends on my loyalty. Just now, the emperor told me to let my brother study hard, and I am just worried about you."
Yin'a stopped and turned around to look at him for a while. Sure enough, he was not willing to be ignored all the time and came out to show his loyalty.
"I heard that you have practiced Buku. Today I will give the masters a day off. Come and play with me in the afternoon."
Although everyone did not laugh, they were all excited: "
"You're here for snacks again, aren't you?" Ji Lan ran out to meet him with a white ball in her arms, and behind her were two stumbling children who were learning to walk. Yin'a made a face, carefully avoided the two children, and gave the old man
Wife says hello.
The Empress Dowager smiled and asked him in Mongolian: "Baoqing, look at those two children, do you know them?"
"My grandson thought, those are the fifth brother and..." Yin A suddenly had an idea: "Ful Hulun from my uncle's family! Did my grandson guess it right?"
"That's right!" The Queen Mother smiled and said to the Queen Mother: "Look, my wife is right, Baoqing's eyes are poisonous."
The Empress Dowager said: "Remember, brothers will get along more harmoniously in the future. When I saw you and Baocheng in the past, I didn't think you liked talking much. But these two boys were making noises every day, and here they are again.
"
Why did my uncle send Ful Hulun to the palace? Yin'a winked at Ji Lan. After a while, the two of them found an excuse to walk the cat and ran to Cining Garden.
"My uncle's house was also affected by the disaster. Now it's noisy. Ful Hulun was frightened at home. He just called the imperial doctor a few days ago. When the old queen found out, she ordered Ful Hulun to stay in the palace for a while.
time."
When Yin'a suddenly realized something, Ji Lan touched him and said, "Hey, how strong a bow can you draw now?"
Cining Palace gave Ji Lan an archery place, and even the Empress Dowager would come over to play archery and teach Ji Lan some tips. Ji Lan felt that he had obtained the true inheritance and had to compete with Yin A.
"Don't cry if you lose." Yin A reminded first, "We agreed, don't cry."
"Tsk, who can't afford to lose? Come on!"
Logically speaking, there is no huge disparity in strength between girls and boys before puberty, but Yin A is a weirdo. Ji Lan lost all three rounds of archery and lost in a bad mood.
"How is it, how is it? Don't cry!"
Ji Lan didn't cry, but she laughed angrily at his wink. She said, "Why are you still like this? Look at the prince. He came here with Khan Ama a few days ago. Not to mention he looks like a prince."
"Hey, that's not right." Yin A smiled and said, "Do you think you like playing with me or him? Was he like this in the past?"
Ji Lan thought about it carefully. In the past, although Yinyi was a little arrogant, he never fell behind others when talking and laughing. Now he is not arrogant, but is praised for his "prince's demeanor" for every move he makes.
"You are right. I think he can't laugh now, and speaks slowly..." Ji Lan suddenly realized, and whispered: "He is learning from Khan Ama! But he is so young, so learning like this doesn't look like him
ah."
Yin A smiled and said nothing. In fact, he was just a child living alone, and finally discovered the most different thing about himself from others. In addition, he was able to meet Suo'etu in Yuqing Palace, and he didn't know what he heard.
Otherwise, why did he suddenly think of Queen Renxiao during the funeral of Queen Xiaozhao before?
Suppressing yourself like this, if one day you can no longer suppress it, it will be the time to explode. With a combination of a loving father and a strict father, and a brother who is "waiting for the throne" below, Yinyi's patience will only be exhausted.
Yin A reminded himself again that he must not suppress it. His temper is what he should be. He has been this way since he was a child. People will not be picky if they get used to it. And no one can live with a mask forever, so it is better to express his feelings from the beginning.
This was what his grandparents told him when he was in boarding middle school and worried about interpersonal relationships. "Lower other people's expectations, and then show your own benefits bit by bit. This effect will be better than being outstanding at the beginning. You will not give yourself so much
A lot of pressure.”
Because everyone makes mistakes. If a person can only get 50 points in the test at the beginning, but later can get 80 points, even if he fails and gets 70 points in the next test, the teachers will comfort him, "If you work hard, there will be no problem. Let's see."
How much progress have you made? Keep up the good work."
If a person gets 100 points in the first test, 99 points in the second test, and 87 points in the next test, the teachers will only frown and say, "Have you been slacking off recently? Didn't you pay attention or take the test seriously? You can't be proud.
!”
As for Yin A, he plans to be a fake child with 60 points now, and then as he grows older, he will increase it to 70 points, 80 points, or even 100 points. In the past two years of getting along, he has also figured it out.
It doesn't matter if there are some minor problems, Kangxi will be more concerned about them.
Everything was perfect, everything made Kangxi feel at ease, but if one day, this perfection could not be maintained...
Leaving Cining Palace, Yin Ya took everyone to practice Buku. When he returned to the head office, he found several palace maids kneeling in front of him, led by the eldest palace maid Tanzhi.
"What are you doing?"
"Go back to my brother, my servant is about to leave the palace and come to pay your respects."
Yin A took a quick look and saw that they were all palace maids around thirty years old at least. He looked at his nanny. Aunt Chen said: "Brother, the palace maids leave the palace around thirty years old. They rush
After this wave of leaving the palace, if you don’t leave, you will have to stay in the palace for the rest of your life.”
"Oh." Yin'a nodded and asked: "After they leave the palace, will they get married, or..."
"Back to my brother, the maids are out of the palace. Some will get married, and some will be taken care of by wealthy families and teach their own character."
"Let's do this. Help me reward them. It sounds like it's not easy for palace ladies to live outside the palace. Reward them more and don't let them be abused."
The maids all looked happy. Usually the eldest brother didn't send them around much, so the maids thought they wouldn't get any rewards. But now it was a complete surprise.
"Hey, I remember that these palace ladies are all under Baoyi's banner, right?" Yin A suddenly asked a question while flipping through the book.
Qin Ji was still young and didn't understand much, so he just said: "Brother, the palace ladies are indeed selected into the palace by the three banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"Then I see, they usually do things in the head office, but who does the other chores? For example, the actual repairs, making big clothes, etc. Whose job is this?"
"Back to my brother, it's the people from Xinzheku who do the chores." They all explained to Yin A: "Actually, when the women in the palace come to the palace, they only do messengers, run errands, or simple cleaning work around the master. It's complicated and troublesome.
Everything is done by Xin Zheku or specialized women."
Oh, and there is such a thing, Yin A said: "The wrapping Aha, isn't it talking about wrapping slaves? Why is there Xinzheku?"
"Reporting to my brother, Baoyi Aha can't say that."
They all paused for a moment, thinking about how to explain, "I heard the emperor read a book in the past, and he mentioned some retainers, and Baoyi meant this. And Baoyi Aha meant Xin Zheku, because they are sin slaves,
Just like the distinction between good and bad outside, they cannot be confused."
"Would a girl with a good background in the Ministry of Internal Affairs be sent to serve a master whose background is not as good as hers? Wouldn't it be embarrassing?" Yin A was really curious.
They all laughed and said: "Brother is right, so when Baoyi enters the palace and is waiting to be selected, he will be classified according to his origin. This situation usually does not happen."
After such a chat, Yin A suddenly realized that he lacked common sense and really didn't understand the palace. He waved his brush and added a "talk to everyone every day" in his class schedule.
Time passed slowly, and in September, the capital city was shaken again. Fortunately, the earthquake was not too serious. The palace did not go out to take refuge again, but this earthquake caused a big news: "There is a woman in Xinzheku who is favored by the emperor."
, already pregnant!”
How widely does the news spread?
That day, Yin A came back from martial arts practice and found that the maid in his own palace was talking about this matter with the maid of the newly moved third elder brother.
"That's the maid from the second institute, right?" Yin'a looked at the two palace maids being escorted over and said, "Send them back to the second institute and give them to the third elder brother's nanny. This is the first institute."
They all cleared their throats, and Yin A signaled him to speak if he had anything to say. They all whispered in his ears: "Brother, we can't send him to the Shenxing Department."
"...Bring this in."
Regarding the matter at the Second Institute, someone had already rushed to Zhongcui Palace to tell Concubine Ma Jia. Although Ma Jia had never been very angry, she was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born. She gave birth to five sons and one daughter.
, Er Gege and Third Brother survived, lest someone act like a monster around them.
"I handed my brother over to them, but how good they are that they actually chewed on my brother's words!" Concubine Rong said angrily: "Tell me what I want and send that palace maid out in a few days!"
"Also, make a backup gift for me and send it to Yanxi Palace to say thank you to my elder brother."
The nun next to Concubine Rong said, "Master, how come... the eldest brother didn't even send the maids from the palace to the punishment department?"
"He even gave it away to the nanny, is he still afraid of the palace maid? He may not have thought that if he gave it away, the second house would be implicated, and his face would not look good." Concubine Rong said: "No matter what the eldest brother thinks, we
No gift can be given away. My brother is still young, studying and practicing martial arts, so it is always good to have an older brother to lead the way."
A good relationship was formed. Mammy understood it and went to prepare it without mentioning it. She did not say that Hui concubine of Yanxi Palace only found out about it after she received the gift. She only said that Yin A was interrogating the palace maid in Qianxi Tou Suo.
Tanzhi and the others had already left the palace, and those around Yin'a were all newcomers. Yin'a sat at the top and asked, "What are you talking nonsense about?"
"Slave, slave..." The little palace maid hesitated and refused to say.
They all scolded: "How dare you hide it in front of me, brother? Do you want to join the Criminal Punishment Department?"
"The slaves are talking about Xin Zheku!"
Yin A suddenly smiled: "I didn't expect that my elder brother would actually talk about this."
He was about to talk about how to punish the little palace maid, when Qin Ji came into the house outside and knelt down as soon as he came in: "Brother, then, Xin Zheku was sent to Yanxi Palace!"
