Prince Hongyu of Heshuofujing, the second son of Chengzong, traveled to the West and presided over the construction of weapons for thirty years. Wang Chang traveled to Nanyang many times to negotiate with Westerners between Shengjing and the capital. He presided over the signing of Nanyang trade contracts. Maritime trade treaties between China, Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries.
Zi Yonggui was granted the title of Prince. Sun Mianmao was granted the title of Prince of the County. The rest of the descendants are listed in the list of kings and princesses of the clan, the same as below.
Princess Uzhina of Gulun and Yuantong, the second daughter of Chengzong, was first named Yuanhe and later changed to Yuantong.
The princess was gentle and virtuous, good at calligraphy and painting, and especially good at maps. She was one of the most famous people in the world, and she made maps of the southeast sea, northwest maps and southwest mountain scenery. She went to the four borders to draw maps. After traveling for many years, Emperor Chengzong said with a smile, "How can I allow this to be the jewel of my family?" .
Gu Lun'e's son-in-law Zhao Zhibi, Zhao Liangdong's grandson, was good at construction. He passed Su Yang with the princess, and wrote pictures of Su Garden and pictures of Pingshan Hall. He served as minister of Sanzhi, minister of the imperial court, and minister of the Ministry of Industry. He presided over the construction of Zong Changling and Xiao Zongtai. Mausoleum, Changling Mausoleum of Emperor Ruizong.
His son, Zhao Chengchen, served in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and served as a branch of the external vassal government. His daughter, Chenglu, Chengjiu, was in charge of the compilation of construction plans for the Ministry of Industry and other books, and there is a separate biography.
Beile Hongyu, the third son of Chengzong, served as an envoy to the Li Dynasty and South Vietnam. He also followed Prince Fuking to negotiate in southern Guangdong. He had Zhang Yi, a talented person of Su Qin. Jin Dynasty granted him the title of King of Qing County, and Chengzong ordered him to go to Qiongzhou and Yizhou to open up wasteland. , sat in resentment and hoped to seize the title, and ordered his son Yongluo to attack the title. After his death, he was buried in Baylor. His son Yongluo, who attacked Baylor, was granted the title of county prince for his meritorious service. A daughter was granted the title of princess and descended into the Li Dynasty clan.
Prince Hongyao of Heshuo Zhongding, the fourth son of Chengzong, was brave and good at fighting. He led an expedition to the west of Yili, regained the old Tang Dynasty, and recorded his achievements on a monument. Chengzong appointed General Uliasutai, Xiaozong appointed General Yili, and Ruizhong And set up prefectures and counties.
In the second year of Yingde, Donggu was uneasy and disturbed the southwest. The king asked for war, but Ruizhong refused because the king was overworked in the northern expedition in his early years. The king asked for war again and again, but Ruizong agreed. It was midsummer, Donggu was hot and humid, and there was miasma. The king was seriously ill, so Yingde III He died in the army in the spring of that year. Ruizong mourned his death and withdrew from court for seven days, and his portrait was placed in the Maoqin Hall's Painting of Meritorious Officials.
Hongyao loved luxury and liked beautiful women and good wine, but he was very strict in running the army and gave generous rewards. He enforced the prohibitions and those who violated the orders would be killed without mercy. In the sixth year of Jianchu, he was granted the title of prince, and in the 21st year of Jianchu, he was demoted to the county for disgrace. In the first year of Yingde's reign, the king regained the title of prince. His son Yongyan was granted the title of prince.
The Nala family of Huifa, Fujin, was the grandson of Luo He, an old minister of Chengzong Qiandi. She was cautious and resolute in nature. Hong Yao was sparse in nature and did not like literary affairs. Most of the memorials and thank-you notes were written by Fujin, which was known to both the government and the public.
Prince Hongtang of Heshuo Jiali, the youngest son of Chengzong, was gentle, humble, and tireless in learning. In the early years of Jianchu, he was the supervisor of palace studies. In the early years of Yingde, he presided over daily lectures on Buddhist scriptures, served as director of palace studies, and presided over the compilation of Western illustrated books in Wuying Palace, etc. , the ninth year of Yingde began to compile the Chinese and foreign classics.
The king has a daughter at his knees. The princess's name is Yonglin. She has extensive knowledge. She continues to compile Chinese and foreign classics and lectures at the Imperial Academy. King Jia passed away, and the princess became the prince.
In his later years, Emperor Chengzong decreed that if the king had no children, he could have his eldest daughter take the title. This was considered a rule, starting from the time when the king was crowned king.
"Now the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Sun Jiagan, has done a good job. In recent years, southern Guangdong has benefited from maritime trade, and the local area is very luxurious." Fuge, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, said: "There must be someone to strictly rectify the situation and take advantage of the east wind of the court. There is no harm in making a small fortune, but it will not hinder the imperial government's grand plans."
Nowadays, some people in southern Guangdong want to skip the imperial court and trade with Westerners. In other words, some people are smuggling. Sun Jiagan was appointed at the critical moment and was sent by Hong Han to take office as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi last year. This is what he investigated.
It is difficult to stop this kind of thing, but it must be investigated, and it must be strict. The court cannot give people the illusion that the court is a bastard in the pond, and they can be fished out and bled at will.
In the past, local prefectures and counties did not retain much tax revenue, leaving only tight budget areas, and the rest was levied into the national treasury. If there were any local emergencies, in addition to reporting to the court, they would also have to find local bigwigs to deal with the fall wind, and take the normal route to request funding. , the procedure is particularly troublesome.
In the past ten years, Emperor Jianchu Honghan began to decentralize the expenditure and budget methods of the Ministry of Household Affairs to the state capitals, allowing them to calculate the required silver tael by themselves and report it to the court in advance. Local officials have become a lot more comfortable. But the problem in southern Guangdong is that, The local government benefited from maritime trade and were too wealthy. They took advantage of loopholes and kept a lot of money for themselves, but this money would definitely not be spent on the common people.
This is something that the emperor and the central government will never tolerate.
Therefore, we sent Sun Jiagan, who was known to be upright and clear-minded, and assigned suitable generals and admirals to nip the problem in the bud before it became particularly serious.
"Before the imperial father gave me the throne, Prince Yong even proposed that Huo Xiao should be returned to the father-in-law, which resulted in a lot of trouble."
Hong Han smiled and sighed: "At first I didn't understand why the emperor was so disgusted with this idea. Now that things have come to a close, I realize that the wool comes from the sheep, and the fire is returned to the public. In the end, money comes from the people. In addition to taxes, Why bother adding to the burden?"
At that time, Yinzhen had been the emperor for so many years, and he saw it clearly. Even Yinzhen knew that the so-called return of Huohao to the public was nothing more than everyone working together to plunder the people's frivolous wealth. In addition to Huohao, there must be additional levies. See Wang Anshi Qingmiao Although the time is hundreds of years apart, we still learn from each other!
Yang Jie, a scholar of Dongge University, heard this and said immediately: "Your Majesty is wise and wise. Huo Hao is just asking officials to get money from the people. It's just that the court has drawn a line. Who can guarantee that those people below will be able to make money from the people?" I'm leaving here. I've always had an idea, but I just didn't think it through completely and didn't dare to disturb the emperor's hearing."
"Everyone has said that the imperial preface is correct. It means that I will have a meeting with you. I won't say when I will wait for more at this time."
"I wonder if there can be some adjustments to the salaries of officials, so that at least the children from poorer families can have food and clothing without worries. We cannot let officials go hungry to do errands for the court. This will inevitably lead to mistakes in money."
The people here have either had experience of being released abroad, or they have been in the center for many years and have enough exposure to information. When they heard this, they did not shout like rotten scholars, "Scholars are noble, how can we talk about Aduwu and harm our reputation and integrity!"
"
In the past dynasties, officials were either from high-ranking officials or nobles, or they were children of local wealthy families. In short, they were not short of money, and they did not expect a salary. From the previous dynasty to the present, there have been people from really poor families who can read and take the imperial examination and enter the official career. However,
The expenses are there, and the salary is really not enough.
As for what expenses are incurred?
When you enter an official career, you always have to socialize, have classmates in the same year, have mentors, and birthday gifts. Not to mention the dignity of your family, you can't live without clothes. If you are going to work outside, you need to hire a staff, which is normal.
The county magistrate had to hire his own servants, at least a hundred or so people. If he wanted to show off, he would have to hire a few hundred people. This is still a necessity. If he was more vain, he would have to take concubines and slaves.
According to the imperial censor of the Xi Dynasty, when foreign officials took up their posts, in addition to bringing their wives, children, old and young brothers, aides, masters, and servants, some of them also brought slaves. The most among them had to bring hundreds of slaves with them when they took office. This kind of expense can only be achieved by relying on
In terms of salary, one can probably only rely on the northwest wind.
Not to mention the current dynasty, but the previous dynasty, Hai Rui still had two concubines by his side. Every more mouth means more expenses. If his personal character is better, then after Hai Rui's death, he will only have more than ten taels of salary left.
Level. If you have bad character, good guys, those with power will naturally have no shortage of money. A bunch of people will line up to give money and flowers to the adults. Those with no power will also pay homage to them, or even take advantage of them when they pass by.
All these sources of money are in a gray area. Officials are not promoted and officials are not investigated. Isn’t this what happened in the past three hundred years? Otherwise, should officials be allowed to take office with bare hands? Or should the imperial court bear all the money?
?
Therefore, if this basic situation remains unchanged, then no matter how the emperor thinks about it, he will still be a paper framer. And if it is to be changed, what is the appropriate salary and what kind of living standard should the officials maintain?
That’s more.
The emperor and his father and son once talked about this, and the conclusion can only be drawn slowly. After all, today's officials are those who are good at academics. They are parents' officials, not public servants. They have a good position, and they are inferior in everything. Only those who are good at reading will be the emperor.
This must also be taken seriously.
There is also the financial expenditure of the imperial court. There are wars in the north and the west. This is a bottomless pit of burning money, but political accounts have to be settled and settled. It is unrealistic to completely restructure the financial system in a short period of time.
At that time, Honghan was genuinely concerned, but Yinti was quite peaceful. When it came time to change, things naturally changed. It can still be maintained today, and the emperor cannot and will not put a knife on the neck of an official and chop him off.
Without them, who would work for the emperor?
"Master, Chunmingyuan is here to report that the Emperor will arrive in two hours."
When the eunuch from outside came to report, Hong Han breathed a sigh of relief: "The Emperor's Holy Emperor has arrived in Beijing. I have to go to greet him, so I'll leave today."
Everyone resigned and left the Qianqing Gate. Yang Jie smiled and said: "The Emperor is still the same as before. I didn't hear the slightest news in the center. When I came to the capital, I went to the capital... I didn't expect that the Emperor still valued his legitimate grandson. , must be here to see Fourth Brother." After saying this, he sighed slightly for no reason.
When the fourth elder brother was born before, the emperor and the empress dowager only gave him a reward. It can be said that they were worried that the child would be too important to support. Now that the fourth elder brother is one year old, it seems that the emperor wants to come and see his grandson. It is estimated that in a few years , there will also be a conclusion on the storage position... It's a pity, brother.
Yang Jie's words made the faces of several people around him look bad. Yang Jie's family has children studying in the palace school, not to mention that his son is following the eldest brother beside the emperor. Fuge himself does not have a son, but he My nephews have also been classmates with my eldest brother since childhood.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
Because the second elder brother Yong Mao died at the age of six, the emperor's eldest son Yong Yi was the emperor's only son for a long time. When Yong Yi was studying, he was equipped with a very luxurious lineup of masters and classmates. It was the emperor who personally enlightened the eldest son, and also ordered Jiajun to Wang Hongtang taught Western affairs.
After officially entering the study room, Yang Jie, including Sun Jiagan, Yin Jishan, and Ertai, who were sent abroad, called him a collection of classics and history. The government and the public made regulations. In addition, Wang Hongyao of Zhongjun, led the internal ministers Fulton and Tong Lin, Enchuo and others taught him how to ride and shoot firearms, and even how to set up artillery formations.
After ten years old, I still go to the emperor to listen to the training every other year, and I am also surrounded by the children of noble officials and officials who are very good at studying in the palace school. In terms of emotions and time, the children of the nobles who are now in the court have already Bound with the eldest brother.
But if the eldest brother really loses the title of the fourth brother, the two brothers are more than ten years apart. It is unknown what the fourth brother's qualifications will be in the future, who will accompany him when he studies, and who will teach him.
Even though etiquette is above all, in the hearts of those who attended the imperial meeting today, they naturally do not want the eldest brother to be replaced by the throne. It is just that the emperor will first be the direct descendant and the emperor will not express his position. There are certain words that ministers cannot overstep.
Fuge moved his mouth, but in the end he remained silent. He just looked at each other with Archmaester Shen, remembering what the emperor had said to them before. If the emperor had already passed the clear road on his side, he would have to send the eldest brother to the emperor. Sister Gege was promised to the second elder brother of the eldest princess Yuan He, so I am afraid that the emperor and the emperor have already had their thoughts about the reserve position.
After years of renovation, Chunming Garden has become larger than Changchun Garden. Before, Yinti took people to Bincheng Port so that Uzhina and her consort could take their children.
Uzhina's eldest son, Chengchen, was also thirteen years old. He had passed the scholar examination before, and Yinti was so happy that he rewarded him with a title of civil servant and appointed him as a bodyguard. He had gone to southern Guangdong with the censors and had just returned. .Probably because both parents are more casual, this child is particularly mature.
"My nephew, please give your regards to your uncle!"
Chengchen followed Su De to the front station. The two children had just arrived at Chunming Garden and before they could take a breath, Hong Han had already rushed from the palace to the garden. When Hong Han saw the two nephews, he was also smiling. He was really happy.
Honghan only had Yongying when he was almost thirty. He had some complicated feelings about his younger brother's nephews. In addition, Yinti and Daoqin were also worried about trouble because of Honghan's empty knees. He never mentioned which royal grandson he would keep by his side for his upbringing.
Compared with the sons of the two princesses, the royal grandsons of the Yong generation grew up in their own mansions step by step, and then went to the palace to study. The normal interactions with their ancestors were just to follow the general rules and pay greetings.
Therefore, the nephew who grew up next to the Emperor and the Queen Mother was more familiar and closer to Uncle Honghan. Especially in the years when Yongyi was absent, Su De was like Honghan's son, who was often taken by his side.
"Okay, I feel relieved to see you. The queen will also come over for the family dinner in the evening. Su De, don't forget to ask your wife to come too."
"Thank you, uncle, my nephew knows." Su De said with a smile, and then said seriously, "I just have something to report. My mother-in-law has a secret message to give to the emperor." After saying this, he took out a letter that was kept close to his body.
, stamped with a fire seal, and handed his hands to Hong Han.
Su De's wife was chosen by Hong Han himself. She was a girl from the Fucha family and Ma Qi's niece. She also studied in the palace when she was young. Her appearance, temperament, talent and knowledge were all chosen at the moment. It is no exaggeration to say that this girl will be the crown prince.
The concubines are all qualified.
Hong Han took the letter but did not open it. Instead, he smiled at Cheng Chen and said, "On your side, when you were studying in the palace, I heard that you were acquainted with Zhang Tingyu's granddaughter? That child's father, Zhang Ruo'ai, was just appointed as Minister of Rites by me.
, enter Nan Study. I heard that someone has already started proposing marriage to the Zhang family, so you should be careful."
Chengchen was made red-faced by the emperor's uncle, and he hesitated: "I, my nephew, have to see what my elders want."
Honghan was in a good mood and patted his nephew on the shoulder: "The elders will naturally make the decision for you."
In the middle, there is no need to go into details about farewell and greeting the emperor. It only says that Honghan read the letter from his sister Su Rige, discussed it with the emperor's father Yinti, and waited for Su Rige's second letter before deciding.
I made up my mind that if Li Chao really comes to propose marriage, I will ask the Li Chao clan to come to the capital to get married. After all, their prince is coming to the capital soon. If it is necessary to marry again, we will talk about it then.
At worst, Honghan could adopt a daughter and make her a princess to marry the crown prince of the Li Dynasty. There are many options.
That night at the family dinner, the three princes, even the infant fourth elder brother, also came. The eldest elder brother Yongying, the third elder brother Yongmin, the fourth elder brother Yongxuan, and Yinti looked at the three grandsons in silence.
After the family dinner was over, only the father and son spoke. Yinti said bluntly to his son, "If the fourth elder brother had been born six or seven years earlier, things wouldn't be so embarrassing. I guess you also have an idea. What are you going to do?"
"My son plans to make the fourth elder brother the Iron Hat King." Hong Han spread his hands. There is no other way. Yong Yi doesn't have to rush to make the crown prince, but it is not a bad thing for the fourth elder brother to make the king early.
"That's all. Where is your wife and the Guarjia family?" They are a young couple. Can they not antagonize each other or not?
"...Actually, this is what your daughter-in-law said to me originally." Honghan smiled bitterly and said: "Amma, you know that at first we all thought that there was only Yongying, but later the second elder brother didn't support him either.
When the third child is born, I just want to think about the safety of my child. The Guarjia family also has children by Yongying's side, and things are going well. This has already been settled."
"What my son thought of, my son's wife, she also thought of."
The couple also hurriedly mentioned the future of their child. Zhijin proposed at that time, "The Eastern Palace does not wait for the legitimate son." If he does not make up his mind, it will definitely be a disaster in the future. And the fourth elder brother is still a young child, and a baby is established as the prince.
Isn’t Yinreng a lesson learned from the past?
What's more, the heir to the throne in this dynasty will either be an older one like Emperor Wen, or the eldest son like today. The age difference between the fourth elder brother and the eldest elder brother is too big. It is easy to talk about etiquette, but in practice, the status
Compared with the age difference, it is really difficult to deal with.
Instead of fighting brothers in the future, it is better to decide the status now and everyone can live in peace.
"She said that Yongyi is already old, and he will have to see his wife in two years, and it is unknown how the fourth brother will grow up. Instead of causing internal and external uneasiness, it is better to decide the name early... Amma,
My son feels that, regardless of whether the queen is motivated by public interest or retreats in order to advance, since she has said this, she might as well do it."
"Forget it, you can give the order when Fourth Brother is one year old." Yinti let out a long breath, "Now that you can make decisions on all matters, both internal and external, and handle them extremely well, I have nothing to worry about."
"I'll leave everything to you from now on, so that your mother and I can live a peaceful life."
After the father-son conversation, at the Fourth Elder Brother Yongxuan's birthday party, Hong Han said that the Fourth Elder Brother was the youngest son of him and the Queen, and his future was unknown. He also particularly liked this child, so he made him the king, and he was an iron hater, hereditary.
for.
Without waiting for others to say anything, the queen and the Guarjia family immediately stood up to express their gratitude and expressed their sincere gratitude. This was because the emperor cared about their mother and son. The queen recognized it and said that the fourth elder brother was the legitimate son, which was nothing more than a hint that she was the legitimate son.
If you adopt an eldest brother, your eldest brother will be your direct eldest son.
The Guarjia clan had nothing to say, and no one else had anything to say, so the matter was settled. The next year, Yongyi was named the crown prince, and everything was settled.
Empress Xiao Huijing, surnamed Ilgenjueluo, was the daughter of Cheng'en Gong Keerkun. She married in the 26th year of Kangxi's reign. Chengzong's two daughters and five sons were all descendants. The queen was virtuous, gentle, virtuous, filial, and wise.
He listened without deception and spoke without deception. He was highly praised by Empress Xiaohui and Empress Xiaowen. When Emperor Chengzong stayed in his residence, he often went to other places under orders to attend to affairs both inside and outside the residence, as well as the affairs of Empress Xiaowen in the palace.
.
During the Yuanqi period, he later presided over the compilation of painting manuals, classics and other classics. The books he compiled later were used by the Palace Academy and the Imperial Academy... The selection of classics and examples in the compilation of the books were precise, and the drawing boards were exquisite, which have been passed down to this day.
