Arsung'a's theory is very sound. "Amma, if you change your family right now, in the eyes of the emperor, it will prove that we are following the Eighth Prince for ulterior motives. Even if you are pretending, you have to pretend for a while."
"..." Ah Ling Ah really couldn't bear to part with this great opportunity. Things like giving rewards based on merit are also done on a first-come, first-served basis. Just like Lao Ba believes that he is no better than that old guy Tong Guowei, because Tong Guowei showed his kindness earlier than him.
But what his son said made sense, and Aling'a didn't want to leave any hidden dangers in this matter, as it would not please both parties. At this moment, Aling'a looked at his eldest son, and sighed that he was too young. Look at Tong Jia,
They can use all the distinguished men in the family.
But the Tong Mansion was not all harmonious. At least when the three generations were discussing matters, Elundai came to visit.
"Hey, second uncle, where is your meeting about 'loving your children and grandchildren'?" As soon as he entered the door, Elundai was in a strange mood, but Tong Guowei did not let Long Keduo and Shun get along. He felt that today is also the time to talk to E Lundai.
Lundai spread his arms and said.
The most important branch of the Tong Jia family joined forces with the main family Shengli, but the result of the meeting made Tong Guowei not satisfied. Tong Guowei's behavior of betting on all sides made Elundai look down upon it.
"Second uncle, there is no airtight wall in the world. If we do this, people will find out sooner or later." Orundai said, "Besides, if you take care of Lao Ba, Lao Ba will get scolded by the emperor, and Baylor will be gone. Shun."
An Yan has just hooked up with Prince Zhi, which is good. Longkoduo has a good impression in front of the emperor. At least he is better than me and has a bright future. You want him to bet on it? "
"Who are you going to bet on?" Elendai finally said, "You really want our whole family to come together. If this is exposed... it will be unlucky for the whole family."
Tong Guowei said, "The whole family is here, including Qingheng, Qingfu, and Qingtai."
You have thought about the co-authorship, and even preserved the roots of the Tong Jia family... The problem is that you have so many children and grandchildren, and what about me! If Elundai quits, why do you think he will suffer a loss? This business is not worthwhile.
Normally, Elundai seems to be arrogant and careless, but now he seems to be shrewd, but after all, Elundai is the direct descendant of the eldest son, a serious duke, and an internal minister, and he also has an advantage in the patriarchal clan. Tong Guowei was helpless, so he had to say, "You can't wait for a while."
Think about it.”
Over the years, Elundai has been making trouble in court, like a hob, but he has also been through hundreds of battles and has seen a lot. Elundai felt that his second uncle's wishful thinking was probably going to come to an end.
.Unexpectedly, the emperor ignored the ninth elder brother and directly made the tenth elder brother a county prince. In addition to the fact that Lao Shi’s mother’s family was Niu Hulu, it was not ruled out that he would praise Lao Shi and Lao Ba. Lao Jiu pulled away.
relation.
When the princes were promoted to nobility, they naturally had to go to the palace to thank their father for their kindness. Kangxi was also ruthless enough. He lifted Yinsu's ban before everyone else thanked him. The ministers who were punished also had to go to the palace to thank their father for their lessons. Of course you
It’s okay to ignore it, and you have to bear the consequences yourself.
Obviously, Yinzhen and Yinzhen do not intend to continue to make themselves uncomfortable.
Waiting to be summoned in the Qianqing Gate, a group of imperial brothers had a peaceful mind like that of Yinyou, a little joyful like that of Yinzhen, and mixed emotions like that of Yinzhi. Yinzhen was held by Yinqi and was not allowed to move around.
, Yin'er stood aside and watched from the wall. The only two people looking at each other were Yinti and Yinsu.
"I haven't congratulated you yet, eldest brother. The first prince among brothers... is extraordinary." Yinsu still had a warm smile, but his face was extremely pale. I heard that he was ill during this period. But at this moment, Yinsu still didn't speak at all.
Don't let people say, "My younger brother is now a bald brother, and I will have to rely on my elder brother for support in the future."
Yinti also smiled and said, "Don't worry, eighth brother, I will take care of everyone in your family."
"...Then my brother will be waiting."
The eighth prince is not a fool. He has been confined to the house during this period, thinking over and over again what happened during this period. At first, Yinhu was only slightly tempted by Tong Guowei's answer to the prophecy, and then the prince's accidents happened one after another, and the strange Taoist priest...
Fortune telling and the birth of a son.
One after another, each one seemed to set fire in Yinhu's heart, prompting him to test King Zhi in a roundabout way. Then what his good brother said was nothing more than giving in, unintentionally, and encouraging Yinhu to rush forward.
But Yinhu rushed, only to find that except for a few people, the others, including Kuixu, Wang Hongxu and others who seemed to be on his side, remained silent, and no one spoke for him.
Think carefully about the people around you. Except for some people from the Tong Jia family, Niu Hulu family, and Fucha family, the rest of them are more or less related to Prince Zhi. What is there that I don’t understand now?
He became the only prince among the princes, and both himself and Lord Belle were cut off.
Making wedding clothes for others...I am actually a fool. Yinsu lost his temper and laughed in the house. From childhood to adulthood, King Zhi was very good to his brothers. He actually forgot that this eldest brother never did anything wrong.
Until now, even Yin Reng's status as the crown prince has never been taken advantage of by him...
I actually thought that such a person would be willing to be subordinate to others and be willing to do anything. I am really the stupidest idiot in the world!
"Bad brother, don't always worry about taking care of me. The good concubine doesn't need me to take care of my responsibilities." Yinti looked at him. The smart Xiaoba when he was a child had long disappeared. Yinti said, "I was there a few days ago.
When I entered the palace to say hello, E Niang said that my beloved concubine is ill. Now that you are out of confinement, you might as well pay a visit."
"Brother, are you used to being a good person?" Yinsu seemed to have heard some joke, he laughed and said, "Why is my mother-in-law sick? Because..." He couldn't continue.
Yinti ignored him and just said: "You know why, the good concubine and Yanxi Palace have known each other for many years, and E Niang couldn't bear to see the good concubine. Whatever you want to think, it's up to you."
This is really what Concubine Hui said. Strictly speaking, during the years when Concubine Hui and Kangxi basically lost their sexual interest in both directions, and before the good concubine was promoted to the imperial concubine, she and Concubine Hui were basically in an alliance.
They have known each other for more than 20 years. No matter how complicated the relationship is, there is still a third part of the relationship that is true love. When Yinti and Daoqin entered the palace to pay their respects, during the chat, Concubine Hui inevitably mentioned the situation of the good concubine.
.
"She was already worried, but now she can't even drink the medicine." Concubine Hui sighed, "To be honest, if I had to be sick, it would be better for me. Now she feels that she has delayed Lao Ba...
You said this guy Lao Ba is the same, why is he so brave!"
Having been in the palace for more than thirty years, Concubine Hui knew what Kangxi hated. After all, Concubine Hui didn't know how her brother's Ming Party was established. But she had some idea of how the Ming Party disappeared.
There were not many people who once had great influence in the imperial court, including Prince An, the four assistant ministers, Mingzhu, and Suo'etu, who fell into Kangxi's hands. He either liquidated them or directly ordered them to serve.
Concubine Hui didn't know the inside story of Lao Ba's misfortune. She only knew that her son and Yinzhu were not as close as they were in the early years, so she just talked about it. She took care of the good concubines, but now she just talked about it and didn't mention it. How about Yinsu?
When Yinti and Yinhu stopped talking, Kangxi called in. The princes lined up according to their rankings and entered the Qianqing Palace to express their gratitude. Kangxi did not hesitate and directly took away the errand of Lao Ba's Internal Affairs Office. He was neither salty nor indifferent. Tell Yinsu, "Just keep to yourself."
"My son, thank Khan Amma for your teachings." Yinzhu's expression did not change at all. He took a step forward to reply, and then stepped back.
In this way, the former general manager Ling Pu died, and the eighth prince, who was acting in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was relieved of his duties, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs returned to the hands of Kangxi. The old man took out the minister He Yi and made him the general minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Heyi, Hesheli family, don't get me wrong, he is not Yinreng's maternal family, he is Hesheli family of Zhengbai Banner, Manchuria. This person studied calligraphy and painting under the famous master, he is quite famous in the north, and he is a cultural person.
"Yinti!"
The freshly baked prince immediately responded, "My son is here!"
"Next month, I will go to Changchun Garden with the Empress Dowager, and then I will go to Zhili for inspection. You take Honghan with you, and Deshou, Hongxi, and Hongqing will accompany you." Kangxi ordered, "Yinzhen, Yinqi, Yinyou , Yiner, and the twelfth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother are accompanying him."
"Hey." The princes responded and accepted the order. Kangxi was speechless and let them leave.
When leaving the palace, Yinzhen deliberately avoided Yinzhen, and happened to bump into Yinzhen. Prince Zhi asked, "How is Honghui? I heard from our Honghan that Honghui is still recovering from his illness?"
The untitled Prince Yinzhen also had a sad look on his face, "To be honest with you, brother, the cough has not healed, and his mother and I really don't dare to let him into the palace... Not to mention that he can't read well before he recovers, and we are afraid. I'll give it to my nephews after I've passed the illness."
"Has the imperial doctor been here?" Seeing Yinzhen nodding, Yinzhen frowned and said, "Hong Ruohan and the others, have you asked someone to ask? There are also private doctors in Beijing. I heard that there are also doctors who can treat children's coughs."
They also invited private doctors, but it was of no use. Missionaries had never tried it. Yinzhen made up his mind to ask foreigners to look at the child for the sake of his son. What if it worked?
The two of them rode out of the palace on horseback and happened to pass by the missionary's residence outside Xihua Gate. Yinzhen asked Yinzhen to quickly pick up Hong Ruohan, and Xu Risheng left. Prince Zhi didn't think much and handed the man to Yinzhen. He went back home.
Waiting until the next day, when an unfamiliar guard from the Fourth Mansion came to the house to announce the good news, Yinti was confused. What kind of good news should he report?
"The master originally wanted to come over in person, but it's just that we can't leave the house right now. The doctor said that for fear of spreading the disease, anyone in the house who has interacted with Brother Honghui during these days should not go out. The master asked the servant to tell the prince that the master of the house Brother, Gege, you’d better drink some decoction to cure diseases and take precautions.”
After listening to the guard's report, Yinzhen knew what was going on. It turned out that yesterday, Yinzhen brought the missionary home and sent people to invite the imperial doctor and the folk doctor who specializes in treating coughs to the house. The three parties were dancing and gesticulating. After the "consultation", the missionary casually said that the little brother had diphtheria, but the symptoms were not obvious, and it seemed that it was not the case.
As soon as the symptoms were described, the imperial doctor and famous doctors in the capital also slapped his thighs. Isn't it "wind in the throat"? However, Brother Honghui's symptoms were not obvious at the moment, and everyone treated it as a common cough at first.
After saying this, the guard said, "The imperial doctor said that if the symptoms really become obvious, my brother will probably..." There will be no hope.
Only then did Yinzhen understand why Yinzhen sent the unfamiliar guards over. At this moment, his mansion was probably in a state of confinement. It meant that the unfamiliar guards outside were not involved and could be sent out safely.
"Okay, the child is fine. You go back and tell your fourth master that when Honghui gets better, I will ask Honghan and his brothers to visit Honghui." After the guard left, Prince Zhi rushed back to the upper room.
He hurriedly shouted to Daoqin, "Daughter-in-law, hurry up and ask someone to prepare medicinal materials and make medicine for the children!"
Treat the disease if you are sick, and prevent the disease if you are not sick. Diphtheria is contagious! Honghan came into contact with Honghui and then returned to the house. Yinti hurriedly changed his clothes, arranged the house, and went to the palace to see his son in person.
, by the way, see if you heard about Kangxi.
Hong Hui's illness was not serious, but the disease inside and outside the palace was very alarmed for a while. The place where the prince and grandson studied and lived in the palace had a general cleaning. Moreover, Hong Han came back.
Then he complained with a grimace, "I drank the decoction for seven days in the palace."
When the third elder brother Hongcheng heard what his eldest brother said, he said, "Brother, we are also taking medicine at home. It is very painful!"
The younger brothers and sisters nodded with empathy. Looking at a few little faces that were somewhat similar to his own, Honghan couldn't help but laugh. And his eldest sister, standing nearby, was also watching them laugh, and more
I'm glad no one was infected.
Worried about the large population in the city, the family of Prince Zhi, who had previously returned to Beijing to receive an order from the Prince of Jin, went to the Chunming Garden in the suburbs again. Yinti made up his mind that his wife and children would not return to Beijing this summer.
He stayed in the garden until he and Honghan followed.
The emperor left the capital in a mighty manner. Originally, everyone wanted to know the emperor's thoughts from the emperor's grandchildren, such as which one he liked more. However, the old emperor was impartial this time. The four grandsons from three families, he
Take it with you.
Your Majesty, you are so amazing. Many of your dear ministers are dumbfounded. We can't guess whether the Emperor has "remaining love" for the deposed prince, or has "high hopes" for the prince, or whether he has high hopes for the old man.
