"Our eldest brother, the Emperor, is really... I heard that several sisters-in-law went to the palace to beg the Queen to postpone the engagement. I didn't expect that he would actually do this."
Lao Jiu and his fifth brother were joking in the house: "Let's get engaged first. After that, the beautiful girls will still study in the palace as usual... Do you think the one who is marrying home at this time is a daughter of a certain family or a disciple of the emperor?"
"It doesn't matter." The fifth master, Yinqi, who has been busy with flag affairs recently, also has a lawsuit on his forehead. Now he took a breather to talk to his younger brother and said with a smile: "Anyway, the boys are not guards, but they are also from official schools.
, aren’t they also disciples of the Emperor?”
"Besides, the emperor has said that this will become a system in the future. At least the girls under his banner will not be able to get married so early."
The emperor has great righteousness, fame and power, so Yinqi warned his younger brother: "The eighth brother can be sent away far away, but the second elder brother, his own son, said that he would send the child thousands of miles away, so he sent him away. It cannot be said that the emperor did not do it for
To prevent Hong Han and Hong Yu brothers from fighting each other in the future, you have to..."
"I know, recently we have only been worried about E Niang leaving the palace!" Yinzhen laughed and sighed first, "How dare I interfere blindly. Look at Li Xu, the good servant of the late emperor, now he is also thrown into the big army
I'm afraid the Li family won't be able to stay in jail."
"Who says it's not the case?" Yinqi said: "Brothers are being ordered around. I'm afraid you don't know. A few days ago, the emperor called several of us county princes into the palace. The fourth brother received a commendation, and the third brother received a commendation.
My brother was reprimanded. Because he didn’t handle the flag affairs well and asked others to ask for help, the third brother always couldn’t save his face. At that time, he made a few excuses, and the result... oh, it was such a big fuss."
"The emperor asked him in front of a bunch of brothers, is it your third son who wants to face you? Do you still want to win people's hearts or what? In the past two years, Meng Guangzu, your subordinate, has been running around everywhere. I see that you are doing a good job, and I also see that
We don’t care about our brotherhood, but he intensified his efforts and even used your name as Prince Cheng to blackmail the local magistrate. Do you know! How do you manage your servants all day long?"
Lao Jiu gasped and asked hurriedly: "You got angry with him like that? You shouldn't. That Lao San is usually quite flattering, and our second nephew Hong Yu is traveling far away, so Hong Qing from Lao San's family is also making trouble.
We were going to France, and in the end, it wasn’t the fourth elder brother of the third family, but a man named Hong Zhuo, who went with me.”
"Hey, if it hadn't happened like this, I'm afraid it would have happened a long time ago. What's more, this happened."
When Yinqi talked about the fire in the backyard of his brother's house, a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously, "Originally, the third son wanted their family Hongsheng to go, but Hongsheng is the third sister-in-law's youngest son, and the third sister-in-law was reluctant to let him go. Hong Yao is the waiter.
Born by a concubine, the biological mother didn’t even earn a fortune, so somehow this child was pushed out.”
"I remember that this child was born in the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign? He has just turned fourteen now?" Yinzhen clicked his tongue, "Hongqing is also a childish child. If the third child is not willing, the emperor may not have to let their family live again.
Why bother if someone comes out!"
"Who says otherwise?" Prince Heng sneered, "Hong Yao didn't accompany him at first, but then he followed him to Shengjing. Who knows what happened here. I heard that the emperor was not very happy either, and later he returned the car to that person.
The child was given the title of Duke Feng Enfu, saying that it was to reward him for being so courageous at such a young age. This child came back safely, and his future will be indispensable. As for the other children of Prince Cheng County, it is hard to say."
"So, what are you doing in vain? The third brother just wants to take advantage of everything, but he got scolded. He is also looking forward to being promoted to prince as soon as possible. I'm afraid he will die." Yinzhen held his cheeks, a little tired, and changed
posture, and suddenly said mysteriously: "Brother, I have a servant who is on duty at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He went to Zhengjiazhuang in shifts to serve him some time ago. Did you know that in Zhengjiazhuang, Hong Min and his brothers also caused a scene."
"You are seeking death!" Yinqi's expression changed immediately, "How dare you ask about such a thing!"
"I didn't, he said so."
"Don't fool me!" Yinqi pointed at his brother's nose, "Don't be stupid, I'm telling you, if you don't ask, your slave dares to say this to you?!" Yinqi pulled his collar angrily, this brother
, it has never given him peace of mind over the years.
Lao Wu said sincerely: "My mother is about to leave the palace. You must not cause trouble at this time. Over there in Zhengjiazhuang, how can you make trouble and have anything to do with your ninth master? I don't believe you care about your second brother and eldest nephew.
them!"
Yinzhen was curious at first, but now he regretted why he talked so much, why he couldn't get enough of this!
But what Mr. Jiu said was right. After returning with the emperor, a quarrel did break out in Zhengjiazhuang, and the one who knew about it earlier than Mr. Jiu was the emperor himself. The guard who was responsible for guarding the inner courtyard of Zhengjiazhuang was at the moment when the quarrel broke out.
After a while, he reported the matter to Yinti in the garden.
Hongjin's mouthful of words made Hongjin angry, and Hongxi sarcastically said, "I can be the emperor's son, why should I go back to Zhengjiazhuang?" Hongmin was helpless, "Why are you talking about this?"
They had already quarreled once, but ended up quarreling again, and the quarrel lasted for most of the day. Because of the emperor's order, the guards only listened to a general idea and reported it to the emperor. Yinti just laughed it off, but in his heart he decided on the marriage between Hongxi and Hongjin.
Princess Duanjing's daughter was promised to Hongjin, a niece and a nephew, which was a match made in heaven. When the time came, she would borrow the help of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother would give her a marriage, and take advantage of the good fortune to give Hongjin a title, Yinreng.
Forget it over there.
After the emperor decided on this matter, he read the secret report sent back by Nian Gengyao, who had gone to the southwest. It mentioned that Meng Guangzu, a subordinate of Prince Cheng, helped Prince Cheng do business in the southwest, and then bribed the local officials, even to the point of bribing him.
superior.
This kind of trend must not increase. Yinzhi simply asked Nian Gengyao to detain Meng Guangzu, and then told Yinzhi to take the matter seriously and kill the chicken to scare the monkey to make his brothers calm down. Although they are used to do things, it does not mean that they can do whatever they want.
Send followers out to attract bees and butterflies and cause trouble.
Including the next generation of nephews, educating them is one thing, how to use them in the future is another. Those who hold actual positions in the clan must be treated more harshly to prevent them from being distracted and having messy thoughts.
.
After the Double Ninth Festival, it was the birthday of the Empress Dowager. Yinti took this opportunity to let Hong Han and several Fujin candidates meet each other, and some of them briefly exchanged a few words. Finally, Hong Han told his father: "Son
I think Gualjia’s character is very good.”
The woman he was talking about was the niece of Cheng De's ex-wife. Her grandfather was Duke Pu Erpu. Now Pu Erpu has passed away. This girl's father is named An Ying. He is serving as the assistant leader of Xianghuang Banner and is still working as a doctor in the Lifan Academy.
He is not a very outstanding person, but he excels because he is diligent and conscientious in his duties. He has never made any mistakes in his job for many years.
This little girl is the youngest girl in the Puerpu family of Gualjia family, and she is the only one old enough to be worthy of a prince. Her elder sisters have already married off. Therefore, even if her biological father is not outstanding, the Duke's family is not
After the family separation, the girl named Zhijin also received a good education.
The granddaughter of the first-class Duke Pu Erpu and the descendant of Fei Yingdong, one of the five ministers, is worthy of a prince in terms of family background. It’s just ridiculous to say that among the descendants of Fei Yingdong, there is currently no outstanding one from the first-class Duke.
People, on the other hand, from the third-class palace, Duke Fuerdan of this generation is quite talented.
Yinti was actually very curious about what his son valued in that girl. After all, he had just investigated and he didn't know what his son valued. But as a father, it was not appropriate for him to discuss his son's fiancée.
The emperor could only go around and tactfully express his doubts to his wife, and then nudged Daoqin to ask. The queen's answer was: "Honghan said that the others were as if they were facing a powerful enemy, and they didn't even smile when they spoke.
, just this one with a bit of a smile."
"...Okay." Yinti thought to himself. After all, he is my son, so he has found someone who looks comfortable.
At this point, the marriage of the emperor's eldest son was settled. Just after the Queen Mother's birthday, Yinti issued an order for Guarjia's father to accept the order, and his daughter was granted marriage to the emperor's eldest son Hong Han. According to Yinti's own experience that year, the emperor planned to also
Let your son go to his father-in-law's house in person and experience everything.
There is also the mother clan of Prince Jiaen Fujin. Although Yinti cannot give the position of duke to his future in-laws, he can still promote Honghan’s father-in-law. Since this person is cautious, he let him be the fourth official.
The Taichang Temple Shaoqing who praised him also gave him the title of Zhongyi Dafu.
When drafting the edict, Yinti asked a few words: "The girl from the Guarjia family who reconciled with Cheng Rongruo back then is the aunt of the future Dafu Jin. Did she marry to Shengjing?"
The person in charge of drafting the edict was Fuge, who was on duty that day. He really knew: "Reply to the emperor, yes."
"Looking at my age, I'm already Mrs. Gaoming. It's time to come back to attend my niece's wedding."
Fuge looked a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, I don't know whether she will come back or not...but I'm afraid she doesn't have a royal decree." Facing the emperor's puzzled expression, Fuge said, "Your Majesty, Emperor Shizu issued a decree in the 14th year of Shunzhi.
A daughter who remarries cannot have a royal decree."
"...Huh?" Yinti was confused. Shizu himself had a romantic affair. Even if the law couldn't control him, wouldn't he feel guilty?
"This is not good," the emperor said immediately. "Even if it is to educate the people," he pinched his nose in his heart, "no one is willing to have troubles in their own marriages. Remarrying is often a last resort. Besides, the population of the banner people is small. Instead of ordering women to observe chastity,
It is better to let young people who are widowed or unmarried remarry." Not giving a royal decree is obviously not an encouragement measure.
"In this case, you go and ask. If the Guarjia family does not have a royal title, it will be in the name of his son. If there is no son, it will be in the name of his husband." Yinti waved his hand, "I will approve it. Censors are free.
You’ve already made a fortune, you don’t have to worry about me adding favors to you, just go ahead!”
Fuge obeyed the order, and then asked: "I would like to ask the emperor to tell you, do you mean this as a special case, or as a rule in the future?"
"...I would like to make it a rule that at least my subordinates should not follow the bad custom that life will cease after the husband dies. Such bad customs are like obscene sacrifices and must be eradicated."
Entering December, the queen celebrated her 40th birthday. Before that, the first letter from her second elder brother Hongyu was sent back to the capital.
