Yinti was busy with all the trivial aspects of his sons' marriage. Although he was a little unbalanced in the face of the political layout, he did not delay the official business.
News came back from Shengjing that great progress has been made in imitating the original steam engine, and it is expected that Yinti will be able to see the improved version by the end of next year; the reclamation outside the customs is going very smoothly, and the detached untouchables and refugees can live a solid life in this land.
With hard work and customs on track, the royal tax revenue and the funds in Yinti's private treasury further increased.
The Junggar Khanate in the northwest has enjoyed a lot of peace and prosperity in the past few years since it was withdrawn by Yinti a few years ago. There is a saying that one can only choose two of three in terms of internal affairs and military thinking, but Yinti is uniquely endowed, and is steadily advancing in all three.
among.
Now he understands a little bit why the recognition of the Qing Dynasty reached its peak during the Qianlong era. In addition to getting used to it, the military achievements were really outstanding. The places that had lost contact with the Central Plains for more than 900 years were recovered, and the territory lost by the previous dynasty could be recovered.
, people of that era were somewhat proud.
Qianlong maintained his absolute control over the empire through high-pressure control over bureaucrats and local landlords, and excessive investment in grassroots officials. Every minister was his chess piece. Although he could not move his hands like an arm, the chess pieces were disobedient.
He can immediately smash the chess piece and replace it with another.
But Yinti could not use the same method to tie an entire agricultural empire to his own chariot, because if he did so, the entire empire would lose control after the powerful ruler aged or when the successors were incapable of doing so.
At that time, the crisis of the White Lotus Sect and the Tianli Sect is right in front of us. If Yinti has worked hard for decades and is wiped out in one day, he will really die in peace. In order to protect his achievements from being destroyed, the only thing Yinti can do is
Try to get all kinds of insurance for Hong Han, and give your son more insurance so that he can understand all aspects of the country; let him be independent and have enough control.
But Hong Han only had one person, so Yin Ti tried his best to arrange helpers for him, reserve talents for him, and let Hong Yu study and run errands with Hong Han, as well as the brothers Guang Yan and Guang Xu of the Chunwang family.
These two children are not young anymore, especially Guangxu. This child is the second son and will not have a very high title in the future. Yinti thought about it and took advantage of the recent death of Prince An and Huaqi to liquidate Prince An Yue Le.
This kind of "crime" was also done in the Kangxi Dynasty, but initially no one took it seriously.
But the emperor obviously did not intend to let it go lightly. He simply deprived the inheritance rights of Yue Le's descendants and stopped the inheritance of Prince An's line. It just so happened that the assistant leaders of Prince An's line were separated by Yinti.
Share, taking advantage of the moment when Guangxu was about to get married, he gave him all the subordinates who were enough to share the share of the prince.
After all this, Yinzhi felt that it was not enough. When Yinzhi's collection of ancient and modern books was published and published, when the Wuyingdian version was presented to the emperor, in order to show that the incident of Meng Guangzu, Yinzhi's disciple, running around everywhere had passed, the emperor suddenly issued a commendation
Prince Cheng.
"King Cheng is indeed a scholar of the royal family. I commend his academic achievements and decide to make him a prince!"
This is simply pie in the sky. Prince Yinzhi of Cheng County has been living with his tail between his legs for several years. There is only one Hong Zhuo in his family who is somewhat decent in front of the emperor. Even the prince Hong Qing is not living a very good life now.
Comfortable.
Hongqing got married and had a child two years ago, but he had no errands. He only had the empty title of heir apparent, Bainalumi. He was almost 20 years old, but he still had to find ways to stay in the palace and study. What could he study?
Woolen cloth?
If Hong Qing is asked to do academic work, he doesn't have the patience of Yinzhi. He would like to do some flag work, but the emperor has no intention of using them, the descendants of the clan. Alas, in the early years, he thought that the emperor would treat the clan well after he ascended the throne...
The results of it?
Prince Jian and Prince Xin were angry in front of the army. The former somersaulted down, and Prince Jian's palace has not been able to turn around until now, while the latter's military exploits were worse than none. The words of "incompetence" were plastered on Prince Xin's face.
The Thirteenth Uncle and the Fourteenth Uncle who were involved at that time were still "seeing the consequences." The Thirteenth Uncle seemed to have changed since the last southern tour. I heard from Amma that the Fourth Uncle helped mediate in front of the Emperor, and the Fourteenth Uncle
No one in the house paid any attention to him.
Uncle Jiu took Yin and Hong's younger brothers and nephews to the front of the army and walked to the place where the merchants were about to leave the court... They also suffered hardships!
The results of it?
Nowadays, in the outer vassal branch of the Yamen, there is only one Ninth Uncle in the clan, and there are younger uncles like Yinlu and Yinli.
Even if Hong Yao has dignity, it belongs to the family, but what about himself?
Hong Qing thought, am I going to do nothing in this life and be an idle clan member? The ambitions of my youth have been reduced to this. Is it really a wrong step and a wrong step?
With this melancholy, Hong Qing felt a little lackluster even when attending the wedding ceremony of Hong Yu and Hong Yu, which made him feel uncomfortable. His younger brother Hong Yao was selected by the emperor as one of the tributes for Er Beile's wedding, called
He led his guards to sing auspicious songs outside the new house.
Hong Yao hasn’t gotten married yet...
Hongqing, who had already become the prince's son, was thinking, but someone suddenly called him from behind: "Why doesn't my cousin stop drinking? Come on, my brother has another drink!"
Sanbeile Hongyun stood behind Hongqing with a smile and said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated my third uncle on his promotion yet, but my cousin won't be able to run away as a prince in the future!"
"Sanbeile is just laughing at me. It's hard to say what will happen in the future."
Hong Chang seemed to feel deeply about this speech. The two of them clinked their wine glasses in tacit understanding. Hong Qing added: "Congratulations to San Beile who is also getting married. I heard my Amma mentioned that now our family is very popular with the emperor."
Take it seriously, Sanbeile is blessed."
"...Why should my cousin be so polite? We grew up together. Now my cousin has three beeles at a time, which makes my brother at a loss." Hong Chang said with a smile: "Fu Jin's second brother will return to Beijing from the southwest to report on his work. Before marriage,
I also want to go to their house and get to know the relatives. My cousin is older than me and is already married. If you have time, why not accompany your brother?"
"Of course it's good!" Even if the Nian family is not the most popular, Jane is still in the Emperor's heart, so Hong Qing naturally happily agreed. He also vaguely felt that this little cousin seemed to be a little unhappy about his marriage.
Pay more attention than usual.
He sighed again: "The imperial court has its own system. I am just an idler, so naturally I have to be polite... Alas, you are all much better than my elder brother."
Hongyang indeed attached great importance to his marriage. Occasionally he would be ordered to follow his eldest brother Honghan on errands, but in front of the emperor, he could serve the emperor most of the time. The Nian brothers were in the heart of the emperor, and Hongyang knew it.
, so his marriage is indeed Amma’s special care for him.
In the past few years, Hongyu has slowly learned to focus on introspection and stop thinking about so many messy things. This has allowed him to discover many things that he could not have thought of in the past. For example, the marriage choices between him and his second brother, such as Khan Ama
Arrangements for their brothers and eldest sister.
Even after things that happened many years ago, such as the eldest sister's hesitation and the second brother's departure, Hong Yu had his own thoughts. But he had not yet decided what he wanted to do in the future. It was An.
Being the eldest brother's arm, just like the emperor's father expected... or...
Hong Chang could not remember many things that happened in the palace when he was young, but in his memory, when he was still called "Dongdong", Amma had always been very stable. No matter what big things happened outside, the palace
It is always warm and quiet here, and the children at home are never affected by anything.
The imperial father is in his prime, and even his eldest brother is just practicing everywhere, not to mention himself? He still has to be stable. As for the future, who knows what will happen to Shengjuan? My marriage will not be a loss after all.
However, the conversation with his cousin Hong Qing made him a little concerned. Although Hong Qing's words were not resentful, they were sour. Thinking of this, Hong Chang couldn't help but smile. He looked so similar to his third uncle... Third uncle
In the past few years, they have been living with their tail between their legs, and as a result, there is only one Hong Yao in their house who can stand out.
In today's clan, there are many frustrated people like Hongqing. If we compare it with the situation during the late emperor's time, Hongyu retracted himself into the hot water and blew bubbles like he did when he was a child. This made his thinking clearer.
.
After all, they still have assistants and disciples. If they are left idle all the time, will they unite? Poof, Hong Chang spit out bubbles and got out of the water again. He thought too highly of them.
Those who have perseverance have perseverance. This is true for the common people, let alone the clan. Sure enough, I thought too much. Hong Chang touched the hair on the top of his head. His brothers were all like the emperor's father. Their braids were getting shorter and shorter, but the hair on the top of their head was longer.
It's very smooth...should I fix it?
By the time I get married, I will also be an adult with a family and a career. Sanbeile thought with a smile. It's time to fix his hair and face. In addition to marriage, he also has to pay more attention to his future mansion.
The emperor's restrictions on his children are not really strict. When they are not studying or doing their own errands, even Uzhina can register and take the guards, female readers, and eunuchs out of the palace for a walk. It's just two
The princess herself is really not as enthusiastic about going out for fun as Sister Nai is.
After conferring titles on his three sons, Yinti found that his original plan might have to be modified. He could only leave Honghan in the palace, while Hongyu and Hongyu both left the palace to open their mansions.
Because Hongyu stayed in Shengjing all year round, Yinti couldn't let his sons get married. When he returned to the capital, he had to go through five passes and kill six generals to enter the palace. So, he simply waved his hand and found a marriage for his son.
A mansion was built in a good place.
Now that Hong Yu has everything, Hong Yu might as well start the construction together. Just like that, the construction of Sanbeile Mansion started next to Erbeile Mansion. They can probably move in before the second brother returns to Shengjing.
Thinking about it, Shengjing is also a good place, but if Hong Yu is asked to choose, he is still willing to stay with the emperor. After all, the imperial front is the center of the world. Other places are just places of concern after all.
Before Sanbeile got married, Nian Gengyao, who had been stranded in the southwest for several years, returned to the capital. His aide Hu Qiheng looked at the city gate and said to Nian Gengyao: "Dong Weng has worked hard for several years. I remember the last time I returned to Beijing was two years ago. Too much
The Queen Mother passed away?"
"Yes, finally the joy comes after all the hardships." Nian Gengyao was also filled with emotion and a little high-spirited.
"I heard that the young master passed the imperial examination," Hu Qiheng said with a smile, "Now that the girl has pointed out Sanbeile, together with Lord Dong Weng and Lord Yungong, the prosperity of the Nian family is just around the corner."
"It's just a pity that Ming Xiang has passed away. Once my father-in-law passes away, my father-in-law and his entire family will have to observe filial piety."
"Dong Weng, this is not necessarily a bad thing."
Hu Qiheng was confident and said with a mysterious smile: "Please think about it, Dong Weng. Nowadays, no one in the Ming Dynasty can go to the court, but the young master passed the exam at a young age... To put it bluntly, when he is in the dormitory today, the young master
He appeared in front of the emperor. Now he respects his father-in-law Rong Gong and takes his children to observe filial piety behind closed doors. The emperor is nostalgic for the past. When he sees Dong Weng and his son with this old love, he will naturally fall in love with him. "
"I hope so, if I can stay in the capital..." That would be a perfect match, even more powerful than a tiger, Nian Gengyao thought, a talent like him, after working hard in the west for several years, clearly investigated the local chieftain tribe, and he was in
Shouldn't it be better to stay in the center while raising food for the army?
On the first day when the ambitious Nian Gengyao returned to Beijing to report on his work and went to the palace for an audience, Hong Yu met his future second-in-law, who was very different in age from him, and was deeply impressed.
This is really a talented person who dares to think, speak and do.
With Hong Chang's limited experience in the imperial court, this was the first time he met a minister who told him clearly: "As long as the emperor trusts his ministers, I will definitely lead his troops to defeat Junggar!"
Go straight to Junggar... You are such a bully... Hong Chang's impression of his future second brother-in-law suddenly fell to the bottom. Looking at the handsome appearance, the son of the family is also quite promising. His brother is the superintendent of the palace school. Why is he actually like this?
Unreliable?
However, contrary to Hong Chang's expectation, the emperor's father, who was sitting at the desk for a few minutes, admired Nian Gengyao's courage and encouraged him: "Liang Gong, why don't you tell me what strategy you have? I can think about it."
Wait, he is a civil servant, does Khan Amma really believe that he can tell someone who is ugly?
Hong Chang found that he had two brothers beside him. The second brother was indifferent, and the eldest brother was smiling. The eldest brother thought it was funny, but he still felt relaxed... Isn't he afraid that Khan Ama will be angry? Or does he believe that Khan Ama will not be angry?
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Hong Yu held a ceremony at last year's palace. On that day, not only Hong Qing accompanied him, but also Prince Xin's son, Arta from Prince Jian's Palace, and Hong Hui from Prince Yong's Palace, and even several uncles came to join in the fun.
.
"Hey, that was our third nephew's family gift last year?"
"Yes, Hong Chang's last year's residence today... don't interrupt, I'll talk to you about business."
Yinxiang looked at Yinzhen with hatred: "You have been holding it in for several years in the house, and you plan to keep holding it in? Anyway..."
"Anyway, what?" Fourteen curled his lips and smiled: "There is fourth brother and you, thirteen, you eat meat and let me drink soup. Fourth brother is already a county king, and it will not be difficult to make him a prince in the future. What about you?
, I am about to be promoted to a noble rank... Don’t talk about us, you see, if the emperor uses Lao Jiu, the fifth brother will be idle. But after all, he is a younger brother who grew up together, and his dignity and honor are still there."
"Brother Thirteen, we princes have already become a clan, and we are a clan with a passing Qi. We can just make progress if we want to, right?"
