"I mentioned before that the princesses are getting married. I want to wait until Da Gege and the others get married, and the age will be postponed." Kangxi said: "This is safer."
"Your Majesty is really kind and fatherly. My little girl was only twelve when she got married. She was too young to be sensible. Alas, I also regretted it. It was better to stay here and not be so anxious." Pu Erpu said.
He said it was nice, but in fact, the draft was stopped due to the war, and Pu Pu was afraid that his daughter would catch up with the draft after the war. Neither the Chikueda clan nor the Iron Hat family had any children of the right age.
Clan, their daughter is not a traitor!
The driver had already left Jiangning and headed all the way to Confucius' Mansion in Shandong. Nothing happened on the Kangxi road, so he summoned several ministers to talk with him.
Kangxi usually liked to listen to ministers chatting privately. He felt that this was a sign of intimacy between the monarch and his ministers. Hearing this, he said: "Is it the one who marries Chengde? Oh, then I really have to keep the princesses longer, and my temper will be determined in the future."
, I can live a good life even if I choose a consort for them."
"What you are saying is that as an Ama, I hope that the girl will live a good life and do not dare to deceive the emperor. I think of her all day long and my hair turns gray."
"...Well, if you really can't survive, you have to worry more. But Mingzhu is not an unreasonable person. When I was young, I thought it was easy to be a father. But now, it's difficult to be a father.
.”
Now that the imperial court was respecting Neo-Confucianism, Kangxi did not dare to say, "If you can't survive, find another one. What do you have to worry about because of your family's family status." But when he said this, Pu Erpu immediately understood what the emperor meant, and he felt happy.
, while my daughter is still in her prime years, it is just right to find another one.
From Pu Erpu's point of view, regardless of the banner people, if he can't survive, he will hide out by himself without cursing or taking action. This is a good person. But no matter how good the son-in-law is, he still has to live with his daughter, and he is not married.
He couldn't escape from the clan, and he couldn't bear to let the girl spend his whole life in vain.
As soon as the father-in-law has decided, he will have a showdown with Mingzhu when he returns to Beijing, and then find a good son-in-law for his daughter! But she must also change her temper and stop hurting others with her mouth, otherwise she will not be able to get along with anyone.
Pu Erpu recalled that his daughter confidently said to him: "Amma, you said that my daughter just told the slaves to throw away those useless books. We all don't read them, so what's the use of keeping them? Am I wrong?
?I don’t know that it was left by the one in front of him. Besides, what’s wrong with what my daughter said? We don’t rely on that stuff to make a living. What’s so interesting about Nanmanzi’s stuff? Is he so angry like that?”
I regret it. When the child was young, the war in San Francisco was fierce, and everyone planned to pack up and return to their hometown. Naturally, there were some emotions in the conversation, and the children had some ideas when they listened to the adults. When the children grow up, it is time to get married.
By the time, it was too late to teach her.
Rong Ruo is arranging the camp and other matters outside. He is now a first-class bodyguard, and he is busy with a group of people under his command. Cao Yin has stayed in Jiangning, and Rong Ruo's sworn brother Zhang Chunxiu plans to take the imperial examination. There were originally so many people, but now they are in front of the emperor.
He is the only one.
"Why are you here?" After finishing arranging the guards, they caught up with the emperor's car and went to rest directly. As soon as Rongruo turned around, he saw the eldest brother and the fifth brother sitting on the ground. They didn't mind being dirty.
, the fishtail gray four-part skirt was covered in dirt.
"I took my fifth brother on horseback, but we rode too fast and caught up with you." Yinti didn't even raise his head: "I said, we have been together for such a long time, and you only realized it!"
You have to blame Yinzhen for this. This kid originally played chess with Yinzhen and Yinzhi, but he ended up cheating when he couldn't win. He sang at the top of his voice, and even sang specifically in the ears of his two brothers, which annoyed Yinzhen.
To jump out of the car, Yinzhi stuffed his ears with cotton cloth.
Later, when Yin Ti was riding a horse outside, the eldest brother, as the eldest brother, took the living monkey with him very gracefully. Then he had so much fun running the horse, always shoulder to shoulder with the guards who opened the way.
"Chengde guard, do you have food? I'm hungry!" Yinqi didn't show up, reaching for something to eat.
Rongruo couldn't laugh or cry. The camp had just been set up and the fire hadn't started yet. Where could the food come from? But facing the eager eyes of the fifth elder brother, the guard Cheng had no choice but to shout: "Which of you has brought food?"
"I want it too." Yinti raised his hand: "I'm hungry too."
Otherwise, let’s talk about being able to enjoy yourself. There are people who refuse to wrong themselves when they go out. This person is the young uncle Elundai. He came to set up the camp and brought dry food with him. You are a smart man.
When you are very hungry, dry biscuits and water are delicious, not to mention Orundai also comes with salt and pepper, and you can also hunt game. The hot broth soaked biscuits are not to mention how delicious, Yinqi’s little head
I wish I could bury it in the bowl and enjoy eating it.
Yinti was more reserved and ate bit by bit, but his cousin showed no mercy: "You don't mind the pain in your cheek."
"Hey, we are about to reach the border of Shandong as we speak. Who in the Kong family will follow the governor to pick him up?" Elundai asked, "Mr. Yan Shenggong is here in person."
Rongruo poked at the fire: "I heard that it was Kong Shangren, a famous talent of the Kong family. He was invited by Kong Yuqi, the Holy Duke of Yan, to compile a family tree, teach rituals and music, and supervise the production of sacrificial vessels. This time he was also responsible for lecturing before the emperor, and Kong Yuqi welcomed him in Qufu.
"
"Well, he sounds like a capable person." Elundai probably felt uncomfortable while squatting, so he simply sat on the ground: "I also heard that the Kong family started preparing for it the year before last."
Rongruo nodded: "Yes, we have been preparing for two years. The emperor wants to make this sacrifice to Confucius a grand event." He followed Erundai and sat on the ground. The fire was next to it and the ground was quite warm.
"Emperor Jiajing of the previous dynasty revised the sacrificial method, and the emperor did not kneel. According to the emperor's wishes, I plan to kneel and worship this time." Rong Ruo sighed: "The Yuan Dynasty and my dynasty are particularly concerned about the Confucius family."
"Haha, that portrait is not of my ancestor. How many times do I have to bow down to him every year? It's worth it for Kong Jiaguang." Elundai said with a smile.
Rongruo was silent for a while and said: "There is no way. Emperor Hongwu said that Hu people have no luck for a hundred years. Although I watched Wanyan Jin live for a hundred years, it was just a corner of peace." So from Shunzhi to Kangxi, the Confucius family was the same.
Be gentle again and again, and set up a flag for everyone to see.
However, the Kong family is also very happy to accept this positioning and just stay calm.
While they were talking, the Emperor Luan's chariot had arrived, and Yinti and Yinqi went over to greet him. When Kangxi got off the car, he saw his sons standing for a while and said with a smile: "You two are here too. I thought your brothers planned to run back to the capital directly.
From now on, you are not allowed to take a few guards and run away without a trace, do you hear me?"
"Son, I've written it down." Yinti pulled Yinqi and his brothers to stand together, listening to Rongruo and Elundai's report. The people in front were ready and had dug a stove.
The prince breathed a sigh of relief. He felt like vomiting while sitting in this car, so he could soak his feet in hot water to relieve his fatigue.
"Prince, come to me. The local officials from Shandong will be here soon."
"Hey." The prince lowered his hands and responded, feeling very unhappy. He was covered in sweat and wanted to take a rest.
There is no way, the prince is also called Chu Er, which means he is the second in command. Since ancient times, the life of the second in command has been difficult: he has no control over everything, and he is most susceptible to splints.
Yinreng sometimes gets confused. He is obviously the crown prince, but sometimes he feels that he is not as comfortable as his eldest brother. To be honest, he doesn't care whether others kneel or kowtow to him, or he eats a few more pieces than his brothers.
Meat—actually this is a sign of rank, and the prince is not a big eater.
He also knew that this difference in level was "ritual". Didn't Sima Guang say: when the superior makes the subordinate, it is like the confidant's movement of the hands and feet, and the root controls the branches and leaves;
Root. Then the top and bottom can protect each other and the country is in peace. Therefore, it is said: The emperor's duty is no greater than etiquette.
This kind of etiquette is the same as the orthodox declaration of the imperial court. It is a guarantee for maintaining the reserve and a necessity.
But the prince felt that he was sometimes uncomfortable, and very uncomfortable. Just like last time when Gelfen and the others came to say hello, they talked about his eldest brother leaving the palace to run horses. The prince felt a little envious in his heart, but he did not dare to say it, because he
I once mentioned that I went to Jingshan with my guards.
As a result, a group of people knelt down and warned the prince not to touch him lightly! Khan Amma also said that he was the prince and he had to be polite and decent when he went out.
Don't princes from ancient times dare to leave the palace? There must be a full guard of honor when leaving the palace? What is the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City for? The prince has to huff and puff all day long with full guard of honor?
Yinreng felt unhappy and returned to the tent. The eunuch did not smooth out the folds when changing his clothes. The prince stared at the eunuch coldly. The eunuch was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and shook his body. Before going to Kangxi's tent, the prince said coldly:
"Tell him to get out and kneel!"
Both Yinti and Yinqi had eaten, and they were sitting outside the tent holding hot tea bowls and talking. Just now, Yinqi was still angry at Yinzhen: "Fourth brother, I will sing to you later!"
"I won't listen!" Yinzhen protested loudly, while Yinzhi was holding a bowl of soup and almost choked with laughter.
According to the rules of the palace, the eunuch did not dare to scream when being punished. The eunuch did not dare to say anything when he was dragged out. He just knelt down and looked like he was crying.
"Brother, look." Yinqi pulled Yinti, "Is that from the prince's side?"
It's late autumn now, and it's getting dark quickly in the north. Yinti took a closer look and said, "It seems, maybe something happened. It's cold at night, let's go in." After saying that, he stood up and gave Qin Ji a favor.
He looked at her and asked him to go over and find out what was going on.
After Yinzhen had eaten, he went out for a walk to eat, but ended up coming back without half a cup of tea.
"What's wrong, fourth brother?" Yinzhi was searching for stories. Yinzhi pestered him to tell stories. When he saw Yinzhen coming back, he said, "He's back soon."
"The prince seemed to have punished the eunuch. I saw something was wrong, so I came back." Yinzhen was also a kind boy, and said: "I don't know what happened, let's be careful."
Both Yinzhi and Yinzhen's mothers were in charge, and Yinzhi was raised under the Queen Mother's knees. Although his studies were relaxed, he was not raised to be a fool. Don't talk too much about the prince's affairs, just respect the prince. This is all
Mother's instructions.
As children grow up, they will understand after reading books that the so-called respect is nothing more than keeping a distance. This second brother, said to be an elder brother, is different from the elder brother, and is not exactly an elder brother. It is different. He cannot be called second brother.
I want to call you His Royal Highness.
The ladies in the palace don't have any special thoughts, but they all understand the principle of "near is not inferior". If there is any conflict, the prince has a fit, or the emperor finds out, it will definitely be his son who suffers, so when the child is young,
, it’s best to stay far away.
If you can't offend him, you can always hide away. The emperor loves the prince so much, but his own son is also a treasure. Children sometimes make troubles and have no depth. They don't want their sons to rush into the wall and be killed to scare the monkeys.
Yinqi said casually: "It's nothing, the eunuchs in Yuqing Palace are often punished."
"How do you know?" The third and fourth children said in unison, and even Yinti became curious.
"I followed my mother to Cining Palace, and sometimes I heard Gu Xuanda going to report that the eunuch died in Yuqing Palace or something." Yinqi looked surprised: "I thought you all knew it."
One, three, and four looked at each other, speechless. See, no matter how much you use your brain, you can't compare to the person who has access to the source of information.
"Sacrifice to Kong, Khan Ama only brought the prince." Yinzhi sighed: "I also think, after all, this is Master Kong's mansion." Next to him, Yinzhen nodded with deep approval, and Yinzhi half dozed off and said
He didn't care, but Yinti was in a trance.
Being an emperor, especially being a less "orthodox" emperor, is quite troublesome. Jiajing could throw away his services, but Kangxi had to kneel down and kowtow to Confucius three times, or get off the chariot at the gate of the Confucius Temple and go on his own
walk into.
The gesture was enough, and Yinti thought that he might not be able to do it. Let alone him, even Yinren might not be able to do it. After all, the crown prince and the eldest son are just two novices in politics at this time, and next to him
These three younger children are three eggs.
When is it considered that one has mastered cultivation? Yinti feels that if someone like Kangxi, like it or not, does it as long as it is necessary and does not affect his mood, then he has mastered cultivation.
For example, the emperor happily visited the Confucius Mansion with Kong Shangren. When he saw the well in the Confucius Mansion, he wanted to taste it. But the prince was not able to do it. Yinti and him had grown up together, and he saw that the East Palace Prince was in a bad mood.
The daily life officer behind the emperor paid close attention to the emperor's every move and recorded everything that happened today in a notebook. Facing the smiling emperor and the humble ministers, Yinti felt absurdly that he seemed to be watching the "News Network" of the Qing Dynasty.
I wanted to find a painter to take pictures, no, portraits of the emperor.
Emperor Kangxi had a cordial conversation with Yanshenggong Kong Yuqi and others in Qufu, and had in-depth exchanges on the education issues of the Confucian family and the Qing Dynasty. Yanshenggong expressed his gratitude to the emperor and said that he would compile "Xinglu"
"Grand Ceremony" records this grand event for future generations to admire.
The emperor expressed his approval and agreed to the request for the Confucius Mansion to expand the forest, set up guards, remove rents and taxes, and establish hundreds of households. In short, this sacrifice was a real pleasure for both the guest and the host, with great results and extremely successful.
Yinti only has one feeling about this, your flower work is finally done, we can go back to Beijing. If we don't go back, we will have to spend the New Year on the road!
The author has something to say: As I said before, history has turned a corner, and now it is running like a wild dog on the road of brain damage. [Manual Dog Head]
Thank you all for taking care of me.
*******************
Kangxi probably didn't have much opinion on the death of eunuchs in Yuqing Palace, because according to the surviving records, he was indeed, ennn, very, very harsh and disdainful towards such creatures as eunuchs, and he really didn't deserve to be looked down upon. Of course, around him
Except the eunuchs →_→
And as I wrote at the beginning, the Gold Awarding Festival will be just an ordinary festival, it may be a bit lively, but it is not an official festival.
The Gold Awarding Festival became a major festival for the Manchus and the National Day of the Qing Dynasty. These were all man-made after the founding of the People's Republic of China. You can search for papers and explanations for details.
During the Shunkang period, it was common for women in the clan to remarry, but it cannot be seen through the jade plates. Some are family records, and some are epitaphs, so this can be seen.
