Hong Ruohan, Li Ming, Bai Jin, Zhang Cheng, Liu Ying, these are the names of the missionaries and mathematicians sent to China by the French king.
Because they entered the country without documents, out of simple humanitarianism, Zhejiang Governor Jin Hong allowed them to disembark, but at the same time addressed the Ministry of Rites and asked whether they should be allowed to return the way they came.
The Ministry of Rites quickly reported the news to Kangxi, and Kangxi considered that Nan Huairen, the prisoner of the Qin Dynasty, was old, and what happened to Dai Zi last time, he was also eager to have another Westerner come over who could help him with his research.
Astronomical calculations can also divide part of the power and reduce some of the impact.
So the emperor ordered the five Frenchmen to enter Beijing as soon as possible. Emperor Kangxi would summon them in Yangxin Hall and arrange for them to be resettled.
Generally speaking, the return home will be five or nine days after the wedding. Yinti and Daoqin returned to Kerkun's home on the fifth day after the wedding. This time there were not so many outsiders, such as the Minister of Internal Affairs or the Minister of Praise, Gaoming
Madam and the like.
Keerkun led his sons to salute his eldest brother, while Daoqin went to the inner room to talk to his mother, brother and sister-in-law.
"You don't have to be polite. Today is Fujin's return home. Why should you be so formal? Besides, this is the residence. If we are too formal, we won't be able to talk."
Yinti smiled and said: "Although I don't often see my father-in-law, I have met Suoluntu a long time ago, but I have never met my uncle and the youngest brother. Is it called Muke?"
Narisong is the eldest son, and he joined the official service early and became a bodyguard. However, he was a blue-ling bodyguard in his early years. Where could he go to see the prince? He was an honest man. Hearing this, he just cupped his fists and said, "Greetings to my brother. My slave Narisong could only
Repay the emperor's kindness and dare not neglect the king's affairs."
Yinti nodded, said a few words of comfort, and looked at the youngest child.
Daoqin's youngest brother is named Muke. He is only four years old. He is also standing in a robe. When he heard his name, he looked over curiously. Yinti smiled and waved, and he ran over: "Brother-in-law!" The voice said
Extremely crisp.
If you look closely, you will see that Risong and Suoluntu both look like Keerkun, but the youngest Muke looks a bit like Daoqin. Yinti hugged him, and the solid little boy was as heavy as a weight.
Yinti smiled and asked him whether he preferred riding a horse, drawing a bow or reading, and how hard he could draw the bow now.
Mu Ke spoke clearly: "I just read the Thousand Character Essay, and E Niang taught me how to correct the pairs. Now I am still pulling the bow. I don't know how much force it is. Anyway, it is very small, much smaller than the second brother's bow.
.”
"Good boy." Yinti said: "Khan Ama said that my father-in-law was very strict in raising his son, and he also praised Risong for being good at Chinese language, bow and horse. Today I saw that he is well-deserved."
"I don't dare. This is also due to the influence of Mingxiang." Keerkun followed Mingzhu wholeheartedly. At this moment, he praised the great Mingxiang in his mind in front of Yinti: "It's all about how Mingxiang teaches people to be virtuous.
Young Master, I just have a little experience, just a little experience."
Yinti wanted to laugh, if he raised a son who looked like cousin Rongruo, he would be upset sometimes.
Do you think a "promising" son is so easy to raise? Being promising means having power, and having power means having strong wings. A son with power and strong wings cannot be at the mercy of his father in everything.
After listening to Keerkun's "Mingxiang Quotations" for a while, Yinti's patience was exhausted in the end. He knew what his uncle was like, so there was no need for Keerkun to talk endlessly.
However, it can also be seen that this Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is really a die-hard pearl. Yinti thought to himself that this Minister will be finished sooner or later.
After lunch, Yinti took his wife back home, and the two of them sat in the car and were lost in thought. Yinti was naturally thinking about Mingzhu and Keerkun, and when they would be reduced to bare commanders by Kangxi who lost his patience.
;
But Xiao Fujin had more interesting thoughts. She deliberately turned her face sideways and blushed, thinking about what her mother had just said.
Mrs. Kelkun grabbed her daughter and asked her how she was doing. After hearing that she was doing well, her brother was considerate and attentive, and took the initiative to help coordinate the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Concubine Hui always felt that she had suffered a loss.
Madam felt relieved from the bottom of her heart and said with a smile: "We girls are lucky, the days are still long. My brother has given you a good start. You must also cherish your blessings and care more about me. Especially," the lady whispered.
He said, "Have a baby soon."
"It doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman, it is a good thing to bloom first and bear fruit later. When a couple has a child, they are a family."
"What are you thinking about?" Yinti was sitting in the car with his last thought, bored, and decided to pay attention to Fujin. It didn't matter when he opened his mouth, little Fujin was startled and almost hit his head.
Yinti was also startled, and quickly hugged Fujin and asked, "Did you hit your head? Did you knock your head? What happened to you? You scared me."
"No." Little Fujin was held in the arms of her elder brother like this, and he touched her hair carefully, blushing so hard that she could fry an egg. No matter how hard she told herself, this was her husband, the person she would live with for the rest of her life. But she still
I'm very sorry, my voice is very low and soft.
Yinti was very surprised: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Little Fujin couldn't say anything. It took Yinti a while to realize that he was hugging the little girl. He quickly let go of his hand and cleared his throat: "You can go there in the next few days.
Yanxi Palace wishes to say hello, are you okay?"
"Everything is fine with E Niang." Dao Qin said slowly: "Nanny Liu who is beside E Niang said that E Niang has a good appetite recently and is very happy all day long. Concubine Wei often goes there to talk to Niang Niang."
"As for matters in the palace, you just need to follow E Niang and don't worry about the rest." Yinti smiled and said, "If you like, just read or draw in the first place, and I will take you out for horse racing when I have time."
"Is that okay?" Dao Qin's eyes lit up, and then he said sadly: "But Prince Fujin can't leave the palace easily, can he?"
Yinti spread his hands: "What's wrong? I'll accompany you. Didn't you tell me before that your family sent you to a farm in the suburbs of Beijing? I just said that I had never seen a farm and was curious to see it. Khan Ama
It’s not like I won’t agree.”
"Then I will wait for brother!"
As a result, before Yinti had time to request the order, mathematicians and missionaries sent by the King of France came to Beijing. As his sons who were very interested in Western learning, Yinti and Yinzhi were also called to the Yangxin Hall by Kangxi to listen to this letter from the King of France.
Letter to Kangxi.
“Supreme, Great Emperor, Dearest Friend:
May God honor you with good results.
Knowing that there are many learned men around His Majesty and in the country who are devoted to European science, we decided many years ago to send our subjects, six mathematicians, to bring to Your Majesty the most novel research from our famous Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris.
New knowledge in science and astronomical observation; but the sea route not only separates our two countries, it is also full of accidents and dangers. Therefore... when the most loyal witnesses return, you can publish your extraordinary deeds in life.
For this reason, may God honor you with good results.
Written in Malley, August 7, 1688
your dearest friend
Louis"
"This is a letter from His Majesty King Louis XIV of France. His Majesty originally planned to give this letter to the land envoys to come to your empire through Russia, but it is very unfortunate. It seems that they were blocked outside the border and were captured by the Russians.
Entry refused.”
Bai Jin explained to Kangxi: "King Louis was worried about this at the time, so he prepared another copy of the letter and gave it to us. Great Emperor, please forgive me."
"No, your envoy came from afar and went through many hardships."
Kangxi smiled very warmly: "I am moved by this sentiment. If any of you are willing to be used by me, you might as well stay in Changchun Garden. If you don't need it, you can choose a residence in the capital and live as you like. There are also some in the capital.
Nan Huairen, you can all get to know him."
Alam was in charge of the interpreter. The missionaries did not seem surprised that there were people who could speak Latin around the emperor. They looked at each other and quickly said, "We are all willing to serve His Majesty the Emperor."
Kangxi was very happy: "Then, you will be the teachers of me and the princes from now on. Alam, you are responsible for taking a few priests to walk around the capital for two days, and then you can send them to Changchun Garden."
"
"Khan Ama, can my son also study with them?" Yinzhi was very happy. Although at first he hoped that if his knowledge improved, Ama would care more about him. But after so many years, he has long regarded knowledge as his life.
A part of me subconsciously wants to know everything.
Yinti also has bright eyes. Mathematics, astronomy, and calendar are all useful things. Even if he can't finish learning them, he can squeeze them and let them compile and write books. Only books and knowledge will last forever.
"Yinti, what are you thinking about?" Kangxi asked with a smile. The eldest brother saw that he was thinking about something.
"My son wants them to write down everything they know." Yinti said, "Then compile it into a book, including how to teach, how to learn, and what is needed."
"Then we can teach more people." Yinzhi hit it off with his brother: "However, my son Qianjian, Khan Amma can reply to the French king and ask him to send more people over!"
"What a greedy boy!" Kangxi laughed. Although it was a child's words, it was not unreasonable.
When summer came, the emperor continued to take his family to Changchun Garden to escape the summer heat. The prince studied in Wuyizhai, while the princes studied with their bachelors in the morning and went to Kangxi's side in the afternoon to listen to the missionaries' lessons.
These missionaries are all good at mathematics, astronomy, physics, and foreign languages. Yinti's grades in mathematics and astronomy are average, he is very interested in physical experiments, and he speaks foreign languages quite well.
As for mathematics and astronomy, it was the third son Yinzhi.
The fourth child, the fifth child, and the seventh child have a general attitude towards Western learning. The eighth child is working hard, but he just doesn't have a good grasp of it. And no one expected that Prince Yinreng has a good impression of Western musical instruments. He has recently fallen in love with flute and piano.
"It's bright, clear, rich and powerful. I like it very much." After half a month of study, Yinreng quickly mastered the piano. He smiled and said to the missionary: "I didn't expect that there are such instruments in other Western countries."
Watching the Crown Prince playing the piano, Yin Ti always wanted to laugh, but he cleared his throat and tried his best to restrain himself. After all, as a person who has all five tones but has not learned how to play the xun well so far, he really has no qualifications to joke fluently.
The prince who plays the scales.
"Brother, aren't you just married? Newlyweds are willing to stay with their wives, so why are you hanging out with us?" Lao Wu asked strangely, holding his bow.
Yinti smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law likes to read and draw, and I like to bow and ride horses. How about we all play our own games?" Yinti said, his face suddenly changed, "Oh, I also promised to take her to ride horses.
!I forgot!”
This matter was told to the Empress Dowager by Yinqi as a joke, and the Empress Dowager told it at the "Royal Senior Daughters-in-law Symposium", which made the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine laugh.
"Baoqing, you are really married like a child. You almost treat Fujin as a playmate." The Empress Dowager said with emotion: "But it can also be seen that they are getting along well as a young couple."
"What did Ma Ma hear? You are so happy." Kangxi wandered around today and came to Danbo to pay his respects to his grandmother and queen.
The imperial concubine Tong Jia stood up and said with a smile: "Greetings to the emperor. I was just saying that the eldest brother made a wish to take Da Fujin to go horse racing, but he forgot it. It was the fifth brother who told the queen mother."
When Kangxi heard this, he laughed but felt unhappy. He remembered what the consultant told him: "The eldest brother is not very womanizing. He is not very interested in the maids sent to the minister's room. Only the one who exposed the abductor
This case is particularly favored by my elder brother."
In the evening, Kangxi was alone in the Qingxi Bookstore. He picked up the book but could not read it. Finally, he put down the book and fell asleep. Liang Jiugong and other eunuchs were careful not to make a sound, but two-quarters of an hour later, they heard that the emperor seemed to have a nightmare.
Kangxi dreamed of Shunzhi. He suddenly woke up and finally realized why he was not in the right mood. He thought of Fu Dali!
When the late Emperor Shunzhi died, the Empress Dowager forced Fu Dali, the first-class bodyguard of Emperor Shunzhi, to be buried. At that time, there were rumors in the capital. When Kangxi grew up, he heard about this incident, and during his contact with Nan Huairen, he discovered that Tang Ruowang had been
Advice to Emperor Shunzhi on "male sex".
Later, he pressed Nan Huairen, who admitted that Fu Dali was asked to be buried because of his "unusual" relationship with the late emperor.
Is Baoqing the same as the late emperor?
At his age, he is not very interested in girls. Instead, he keeps Haha beads and guards with him all day long, and likes to hang out with the boys. Kangxi thought to himself, although I liked Cao Yin and the others more when I was a child, but I am no less fond of them.
The queen's concubines.
God, is this kind of human tragedy going to happen to my family again?!
Kangxi was so frightened by his speculation that he couldn't sleep. He summoned the consultant overnight and asked him to find ways to make insinuations and pay attention to the eldest son's social life without alerting others: "Is there anything extremely intimate between him, his haha beads, and the guards?"
the behavior of?"
The consultant has been in charge of the honorary affairs room for many years, and he understood the emperor's intention. He immediately bowed and said: "I understand, please rest assured, your Majesty, I will repay you soon."
Kangxi's face turned pale: "No, check carefully and don't miss anything. I want a definite answer."
The author has something to say: 1. The letter is the original text.
2. Shunzhi and Fu Dali, refer to Lu Riman records and Tatar Chinese history, as well as some records of Tang Ruowang.
[There is a young man in Beijing who comes from a large Tatar family. He is about 25 years old and is favored by the late emperor (Shunzhi). His love relationship is because he is about the same age and is charming and charming. Therefore, in
On the day of the emperor's death, the Queen Mother called the young man and said: Well, how dare you live! The unfortunate young man looked pale because he knew what the Queen Mother meant by his brief words, and his loyalty to the Emperor required him to stay with the deceased.
The young man knelt on the ground and replied: I will obey the Queen Mother's will. After saying that, he returned home and spent the whole day in sorrow. The next day, the Queen Mother learned that the poor young man was still alive, so she sent two of her subordinates with a gold-plated
The box, as a gift, contained a bowstring similar to that carried by the Tatars, and ordered them to end the matter with their own hands. Finally, on this day, the boy was hanged in his parents' home, and so the most beautiful story between Tatars and China
