Prince Heng [Qing wear]

Days passed, and at the end of February, the Southern Tour team arrived in Nanjing.

Wang Laixiong, an official from Nanjing, presented "Secretary of Alchemy and Health Care" to Kangxi.Emperor Kangxi's Zhubi commented that conversations about alchemy and immortality and so-called prophecy by wizards were all nonsense and unbelievable. A well-educated person would never be confused by such things, so he dismissed Wang Laixiong from his official position.

"Hey, these officials just want to flatter me all day long, but they haven't done anything practical. It's really..." Kangxi complained to his elder brother and his courtier Gao Shiqi, "Could it be that they don't know what I mean? Do not understand?"

Gao Shiqi replied: "The emperor is a wise king. Since the emperor rectified the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River three years ago, the atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River has changed greatly. It's just that the south of the Yangtze River is far away from the capital, and the officials here are hard to see. So they all try their best to please the emperor. , I hope the emperor can give them more attention."

"What Master Gao said is very true." Yinti added, "Khan Ama is the son of heaven, so the people in the south of the Yangtze River love you. For example, today, tens of thousands of officials and people in Nanjing hold local rice crackers and offer them to Khan Ama. , This is the love and admiration Nanjing people have for Khan Ama. Khan Ama decreed that only a pinch of rice should be taken to represent the equivalent of accepting all the gifts, and that is the generosity of Khan Ama.”

Kangxi shook his head helplessly: "You only see the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River on the surface, but you don't know that the wealth belongs to the rich households and officials in the south of the Yangtze River. Ordinary people can't even eat enough. The people are suffering. That's why I went down again. In Jiangnan, one is to check the water conservancy, and the other is to suppress the officials in the Jiangnan area, so that they are more considerate of the people."

"I would like to follow the teachings of Khan Ama." Yinti replied respectfully.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Kangxi waved to the elder brother, "Baoqing, come and talk with me for a game, and let me see if your chess skills have improved."

"Yes, Khan Ama." Yinti played chess with Khan Ama, Gao Shiqi stood aside to watch the battle, the boat house gradually became quiet, only the sound of chess pieces falling could be heard.

Big elder brother Yinti's chess moves are sparse and open, open and close.It can't compare with Kangxi's intricacies and foresight, so he was quickly defeated.

Kangxi smiled and shook his head: "It's not enough for half a cup of tea. Baoqing, your chess skills still need to be improved."

The elder brother Yinti smiled and scratched his head to express his embarrassment.

Kangxi looked at Yinti like this, and suddenly thought of Xiaowu.Speaking of it, Xiaowu's temperament is somewhat similar to Baoqing's, and his chess moves are also very similar, both of them have no brains, go straight and don't know what they are playing.It's just that Xiaowu's chess moves make people feel more comfortable, while Baoqing's chess moves are cheerful, but people can feel his care.What should he do with this child?

When the holy driver of the southern tour passed the foot of Kuaiji Mountain in Shaoxing Prefecture, Kangxi personally disembarked and wrote a sacrificial oration, and went to Dayu Mausoleum to kneel down three times and knock down nine times.He ordered the local officials to build Dayu Mausoleum, and personally wrote the plaque of "Earth is flat and heaven is complete", which is "Ode to Yuling" and the preface.In addition, Kangxi also increased the number of enrollments in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and pardoned prisoners except for the ten evils and those who were not pardoned by imperial edicts and officials who were corrupt, which won the praise of Jiangnan students.

At the beginning of March, Kangxi once again took people to inspect the dykes around Gaojiayan.

After more than two months of tours to the south, Kangxi returned to the Forbidden City from Chongwenmen with his elder brother Yinti.

Looking at the tall palace wall, Yinti suddenly felt very tired in his heart, and he sighed deeply.

On the fifth day of April, the Russian Golovin Mission sent an envoy Loginov to the capital, and sent a letter to the Minister of Internal Guard Soetu, requesting the Qing court to start Sino-Russian border negotiations.

Since April, the Qing court has been in endless wrangling with Tsarist Russia.

Because of wrangling with Lao Maozi and Galdan biting like a mad dog on the grassland, Kangxi couldn't go outside the Great Wall to escape the summer heat, so he had to take a group of young brothers from the empress dowager's and monk's study to Changchun Garden to escape the summer heat.

The weather was too hot, and Kangxi was worried that the little ones would be overheated, so he stipulated that during the summer vacation in Changchun Garden, they were allowed to take half a day of class when it was cool in the morning, and take a good rest in the house in the afternoon or go to the lake boat to escape the summer heat.

This group of little ones burst into joy, and followed the fifth elder brother to run wantonly in the garden, making the whole garden run wild.

Hearing the cheerful screams of children coming from a distance, Kangxi smiled and shook his head.He looked back at the third elder brother and fourth elder brother who were obediently reading on the boat, and then thought about that troublesome little five.Hey, they are only one or two years apart, Xiaosan and Xiaosi already look like adults, but Xiaowu is still like a child, leading a group of younger brothers to be crazy all day long.

"Yinzhen, do you know what Xiaowu and the others are arguing about today?" Kangxi asked the fourth elder brother.Xiao Si and Xiao Wu grew up together. Back then, Xiao Wu was Xiao Si's follower, but now he plays with other children.

Yinzhen put down the book first, and bowed his hands respectfully to Kangxi: "Responsive to what Ama said. I heard from Xiao Wu yesterday that they plan to hold a competition to tease grasshoppers, and today they probably have to catch grasshoppers in the garden. "

"This little Wu, really, in two years, Concubine Yi should let people into his room, and she is still so childish." Kangxi turned to Liang Jiugong, "Go and ask some elder brothers to be called into the boat. Come and have a rest. These little ones have been running for several hours, and they should be tired from playing. Call them up to talk to Queen Mother."

"Yes, this servant will order someone to invite some young elder brothers."

The queen mother smiled and looked at the little elder brothers who saluted her, and pointed to the yellow and oval fruit on the table: "This is a Taiwanese native product presented by Manbao, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. It's called mango. You Khan Ama don't like it very much. I think this thing is soft and delicious, and has a special flavor. You should also try it and see if you like it. If you like it, you can ask them to offer more."

The young brothers sat in a row, watching the little eunuch who handled the mango skillfully peel and carve the mango, and put it into a small bowl filled with iced yogurt.

Brother Jiu took a sip: "Grandmother, I think this tastes a bit strange."

"Don't Xiaojiu like it?" The queen mother smiled, "Your sister Jiu is just like me, she loves this thing very much."

Brother Ba looked enviously at Xiao Jiu who was chatting freely with the Empress Dowager.Xiao Jiu is really enviable, he takes all the good things in this world.Erniang, who is deeply loved by Khan Ama, the gentle and generous fifth brother, and even the empress dowager, who has never been nosy, will be closer to Xiao Jiu because of the fifth brother's relationship.If, if so, he can have all of these.

The tenth elder brother looked at the eighth elder brother who was lost in thought, and couldn't help shaking his head.Although his mother-in-law was a noble concubine, she was not favored, so he did not develop an arrogant temper.Although Starling is also friendly to others, compared to Fifth Brother, he always lacks a little sincerity.It's just that Xiao Jiu wanted to hang out with mynah, and he grew up with that brat Xiao Jiu again, so he had no choice but to follow mynah together.Of course, when Fifth Brother is willing to take them to play, they will definitely follow Fifth Brother.

Seventh elder brother looked at them and smiled lightly.

The fifth elder brother kept eating mango yogurt. He heard from Yangui that Xiaoru went to the south of the Yangtze River with her uncle to escape the summer heat. I don’t know if it’s safe now. Xiaoru used to like to eat mangoes the most.

In mid-June, news came from the imperial palace that the imperial concubine was not feeling well.

The fourth elder brother asked Kangxi to return to the palace to serve the imperial concubine. Kangxi allowed him to return to the palace for the sake of his filial piety.

When the sixth elder brother heard the news, he felt a little depressed, so he went to the fifth elder brother's yard to talk to the fifth elder brother.

He walked through the flower corridor and walked into Fifth Prince's yard.The yard is quiet, and the wind blows through the dense grape racks, bringing a shade.Brother Six's heart suddenly calmed down.

What qualifications does he have to blame fourth brother?

The fourth brother was brought up by the imperial concubine since he was a child, and Er Niang never raised the fourth brother for a day.Now that the imperial concubine is ill, the fourth elder brother is going to take care of the illness. Yu Gong, this is the filial piety of a son. The imperial concubine has been in charge of the Phoenix seal for many years. She is the mother of all their elder brothers. Sons should honor their mothers In private, after all, the fourth brother was raised by the imperial concubine, and he has a deep relationship with the imperial concubine, so it is only natural that he should go back to wait for his illness.

Over the years, he has been trying to ease the relationship between the fourth brother and Er Niang, but both of them are very stubborn, and neither of them is willing to take the first step.He invited the fourth brother to Yonghe Palace for lunch, the fourth brother's face drooped the whole time, and Er Niang didn't say a word.The dining table was deserted, and he tried his best to smooth things over, but he didn't get any response, and the atmosphere was once awkward and tense.

Before he invited the fourth brother to Yonghe Palace, Er Niang clearly promised him that he would have a good talk with the fourth brother, and explain the misunderstandings that had been going on for so many years.But when the fourth brother arrived, Er Niang didn't go according to the original plan at all. Hey, what is Er Niang hesitating about?

"Xiao Liu, why are you sitting in the yard?" Fifth elder brother opened the door, "Come in quickly, it's hot outside, be careful of heatstroke."

Sixth elder brother entered the room, took the warm herbal tea that fifth elder brother handed over, took a sip, and let out a long sigh of relief.After sweating all over, I feel comfortable all of a sudden.

"What's the matter, Little Six? I saw that you are a little unhappy today, what's the matter, tell Fifth Brother." Fifth Brother gently rubbed Sixth Brother's head.

The sixth elder brother buried his whole body in the fifth elder brother's arms: "Fifth elder brother, I feel so uncomfortable, I don't know what to do?"

The fifth elder brother looked at the sixth elder brother like this, and immediately thought of the matter that the fourth elder brother asked Khan Ama to return to Beijing this morning when the imperial concubine was seriously ill.

"It's okay, after all, the imperial concubine has raised the fourth brother for so many years, and it's right for the fourth brother to go back and pay his respects." The fifth elder brother wiped away his tears for the sixth elder brother, "It's okay, look, I was raped by Erge Erji since I was a child." After growing up, they are getting along well with my mother-in-law, Xiao Jiu, and Xiao Shi."

Sixth elder brother nodded ignorantly, but he always felt that it was different.The queen mother is different from the imperial concubine, the fifth brother is different from the fourth brother, and the concubine Yi's mother is also different from her own mother.

The author has something to say:

The stalk of Kangxi and Mango, welcome the cuties to go to Xiaopo Station to learn about it.
