Prince Heng [Qing wear]

After Kangxi's birthday banquet, he pointed out a good marriage for Hongyu, the elder brother of the royal family in Feizhi County - Hesheli, the daughter of Shangshu Heni.Because both of them are still young, only 13 years old, so let's make a decision now and wait two years before getting married.

He Ni didn't have much talent himself, but he took the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry only by relying on the shade of his family.His mother is Gege of the clan prince, and his father has made great military exploits for Huang Taiji.He himself is the only son in the family, and the couple had a son in old age, so they doted on this son very much.Although He Ni was not highly regarded by Kangxi, he still occupied the position of a minister, and he could be regarded as an important minister in the court.

The emperor betrothed He Ni's daughter-in-law to Hong Yu of the elder brother's family, and the ministers in the court had to guess what the emperor was thinking. Was the emperor going to reuse the elder brother again?

It's a pity that before the ministers figured it out, in April, Kangxi took the prince, three, seven, eight, thirteen, fifteen, and sixteen elder brothers on a tour outside the Great Wall.

Brother Hongyu's Xiaoding, the palace only rewarded him as usual, and there was nothing special.

In this way, the ministers in the court understood what the emperor meant: this marriage was just a momentary soft-heartedness of the emperor as a father to his son, and there was no special deep meaning.

The fifth elder brother was a little regretful. Originally, he thought that if Khan Ama would take him with him during his tour, he would ask Khan Ama to take Xiaoru and the children out to play for a few months.It's a pity that Han Ama took away the second brother of the prince, left the fourth brother to supervise the country, and ordered him to help out, which is really depressing.

"Xiao Wu, go and get that stack of notebooks and write the outline again." The fourth elder brother ordered lightly.

Fifth elder brother pursed his mouth unhappily: "Fourth brother, when you enslave me now, the tone of your speech is exactly the same as when the second brother of the prince asked me to help with things. Why do you brothers love to enslave younger brothers so much?"

The fourth elder brother's heart was beating wildly by the word "Prince" in the mouth of the fifth elder brother, as if someone had discovered the most secret thing hidden in his heart.He softly scolded Fifth Brother: "Xiao Wu, you're talking nonsense again."

The fourth elder brother paused, and continued: "How about I give you two days off from tomorrow, I heard from Hongshi that your family planned to go out to play?"

"Fourth brother, I knew you were the best." The fifth elder brother rushed forward and gave the fourth elder brother a bear hug, bargaining with the fourth elder brother, "Why don't you give me three days off, two days is too short gone."

The fourth elder brother pulled the fifth elder brother who was stuck on his body. He was not used to expressing his feelings. The fifth elder brother's childish actions made him feel awkward and somewhat relieved.He gave fifth elder brother a big roll of his eyes: "Why don't you come to the Qing Palace tomorrow to do things, I don't think you want to go out to play at all."

The fifth elder brother quickly waved his hand to refuse, and ran away quickly: "Fourth brother, I'm going to read the booklet, don't bother me."

The fourth elder brother shook his head and laughed, Xiao Wu's temperament is really helpless.Now he is already an Ama, and he is still so childish.Although he also knew that Xiao Wu's behavior was a bit of a play, but it wasn't annoying.It's a pity that Xiao Wu will probably never be able to realize his brother Gong's utopia.

Imperial power confuses people, he has tried his best to stay awake, but he still doesn't feel attracted by that high and supreme position.

Power is like fine wine, and the intoxicated are even more intoxicated.

·

In October, the fifth elder brother was officially conferred the title of Prince He Shuoheng by the court.

The prince's status and power are superior to Baylor's, and his salary and Lumi have also increased exponentially.The prince has a long history, belongs to the court officials, and enjoys the court salary.It's a pity that the fifth elder brother asked Shi Yangui and Xiaoru's senior brother Wang Jiazi for their opinions, and no one was willing to be his long history, so he was really helpless.

So he simply smashed the pot and smashed it. If there is no one, there is no one. Anyway, the court will definitely assign him a long history.

Wu Yue smiled and said: "Aren't you really looking for more people from the Shi family and his Tara clan? Chang Shi is not only the steward of the palace, but also shoulders the heavy responsibility of reporting the prince's movements to the court, which is of great significance. Elder brother should not be so hasty. If elder brother fails to find it, the long history sent by the imperial court may not necessarily meet elder brother's wishes."

The fifth elder brother felt that he would not do anything bad, even if Han Ama sent someone to monitor it, it didn't matter.But he is not willing to let outsiders enter his mansion and spy on his secrets.In private, he simply said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Why don't you come and do the long history of Prince Heng's mansion in May? We happen to be acquainted—"

Wu Yue put away the relaxed expression on his face, and said slightly angrily: "Are you making fun of the slave!"

Brother Fifth knew that May was really angry.Although Wu Yue has always been by his side to take care of him, the two have always treated each other as equals. Since she was five years old, Wu Yue has never called herself a slave in front of him again.

The fifth brother knew that this joke was too much, so he quickly saluted and apologized to Wu Yue: "I'm sorry, Wu Yue, I was wrong. But what I said just now was all sincere, you have enough ability and talent, I really think you I can take on the responsibility of being a long history. But the world is so ignorant and ignorant, they always follow what others say, so don't belittle yourself."

Wu Yue sighed, feeling that the man in front of him really wanted to never grow up, always be as innocent as a child: "No, I lost my composure. In the past, elder brother, you used Tai Shi Gong and Zheng He eunuch as comparisons to me." , I am deeply touched. But in this world, smart people are willing to be fooled by fools, let alone a eunuch like me who is incomplete and notorious throughout history? I am grateful for my elder brother's kindness to me. I wish to stay in Prince Heng's mansion for the rest of my life."

Brother Wu felt that Wu Yue was too pessimistic at the moment, but he didn't know how to comfort Wu Yue, so he could only drink tea with Wu Yue and talk about the children's happy stories to get rid of this topic.

Half a month later, something big or small happened in the court.In fact, it's nothing, it's just that the newly-appointed fifth elder brother, Prince Heng, elected the chief eunuch by his side as the long history of Prince Heng's mansion.But fifth elder brother has always been used to nonsense, anyway, the emperor will definitely not agree, and the ministers have no opinion on this matter, it must be to add a few more jokes for the court, let those pedantic old ministers read a few words that are meaningful It's just insulting.

However, the emperor actually agreed.

The imperial court suddenly exploded.

The courtiers tried to dissuade the emperor not to spoil the fifth elder brother for the transition, but to think about the eunuch rebellion in the previous dynasty.Several censors were so angry that they wanted to hit the wall, but they were stopped by the palace guards in time. There was no blood splashed on the spot, which added a touch of red to this ancient palace.

The post of Chief History of the Palace began in the previous dynasty and was created by Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. The main purpose was to take charge of a series of affairs such as weddings and funerals in the palace. means.The princes of this dynasty only have titles and no land fiefs, and the princes are not allowed to leave the capital without a will, so the status of the chief minister of the palace is almost the same as that of a housekeeper, and even the number of people has been reduced from three in the previous Ming Dynasty to one today.

It's just that the position of Changshi is considered an official of the imperial court after all, and the ministers of course cannot bear to let an eunuch serve as an official in the imperial court together with officials who have studied hard for many years and passed the imperial examination.Even Li Guangdi secretly wrote a letter to Chunru, asking her to persuade the fifth elder brother to act cautiously, and ask the emperor to take it back.

But the fifth elder brother just had a stubborn face, as if he would not change his face. Kangxi also smiled and doted on this fifth elder brother who challenged the class level. He only fined the fifth elder brother half a year's salary, and exposed the matter up.However, May's long history position has been retained.

The life of the ministers has to go on, Chang Shi is only qualified to submit a book, and cannot participate in the big and small court meetings, and everyone in the court can only let him go as if he is out of sight and out of mind.Even the censors who kept saying that they would die to persuade them continued to report to the people in the court conscientiously after recovering from their injuries.

Wu Yue really didn't expect things to develop like this, and she still couldn't recover after receiving the gold book.

When he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he realized that something was not quite right, the emperor's attitude seemed to be waiting for Fifth Prince to do that.

Wu Yue suddenly figured it out, and he looked at the fifth elder brother in front of him: "You asked the emperor to let me take the post of the chief history of the palace, is it for self-defilement?"

The fifth elder brother smiled and said: "A smart person like you should have thought of it a long time ago. But this matter involves you yourself, so it's just a matter of time."

May suddenly feels a little lost, and doesn't know how she feels now.sad?sad?Saw it?Pity?His childhood ambitions had long since vanished with the moment of purification.Now, he has obtained the post of long history and has the ability to realize his ideals, but he doesn't know what to do.

The fifth elder brother continued: "But what I said before is also true. First, I really think that you have the ability to be the long history of Prince Heng's mansion, and it is also some compensation for my guilt. Those things back then, It's just a few poems...Khan Ama...The court has separated so many innocent family wives. Although, no matter what I do, I can't make up for the mistakes made by Khan Ama. Those who have passed away will not return. Second, , This is also a little thought of my own. I have no intention of reserve position, but because of the relationship between the empress dowager, there are always some pedantic ministers in the court who want to help me to the position. After this incident, they probably don't want to see me again, Khan Ama can also rest assured about this."

However, even if Brother Wu wants to defile himself, there are other better means available.It is not the best choice to push him to the position of Chief History of the Palace.From the day he entered the palace, he had already put all his ideals and ambitions behind him, because he knew very clearly what kind of person an eunuch was and how humble he was.Shit, anyone can step on it and laugh at it.It is like Liang Jiugong, the eunuch next to the emperor, who has achieved the ultimate and became the head of the Qianqing Palace, but the attitude of the world towards him is nothing more than flattery and contempt.Brother Fifth, this child... is still as kind as ever.

"Thank you, Yinqi." Wuyue smiled softly, beautifully, like a pilgrim who finally found the holy place in his heart before his physical strength was exhausted.

The fifth elder brother blushed all of a sudden: "We are friends. Ah, by the way, I'll go and see the children's homework."

He fled.

·

The fifth elder brother felt that since the re-appointment of the prince, the atmosphere in the court had only improved for a while, so he rushed to the deeper part of the vortex.He is unwilling to participate in these messy things, and the two children are already twelve, and they are close to adults now, so he simply took the two children and asked Khan Ama for a long vacation, and moved to Zhuangzi with Xiaoru to study crops .

A day in the mountains is a thousand years in the world.Although living in Zhuangzi is not so exaggerated, it is far away from the hustle and bustle of the capital, and it is at ease. The five princes and their family of four are happy in this peach blossom garden, and have already forgotten about returning to the capital.

Suddenly one day, the fourth elder brother came to visit.When the fourth elder brother came, the fifth elder brother was leading his family to hunt wild fruits in the mountains and forests. Hearing that the fourth elder brother was coming, he simply went down the mountain.

In the study of the other courtyard, the fifth elder brother and the fourth elder brother sat together and chatted.

"Fourth brother came to see me today, what's the matter?" Fifth elder brother poured a cup of tea leisurely, "I just got a good pair of jade chess board a few days ago, how about fourth brother to talk with younger brother about a game? "

The fourth elder brother looked at the fifth elder brother, and said seriously: "Xiao Wu, do you want to stay on this farm for the rest of your life?"

The fifth elder brother smiled and said: "Even so, there is nothing wrong with it. I imitate Lay Tao, and I am happy to be at ease."

"Little Five!" Fourth Brother shouted sharply.

"Fourth brother, your mind is already messed up." The fifth elder brother asked in a low voice, "Is it because a large number of prince-children were locked up by Khan Ama?"

At this time now, the remaining elder brothers are determined to win the reserve position, and the fourth elder brother is not doing anything to cover up: "What about you, Xiao Wu? I know you have always been on good terms with the prince. This time, you still Want to protect the crown prince and plead with Khan Ama?"

The fifth elder brother shook his head: "What happened this time is different from the previous one. This time it was the second brother who made a mistake."

The second elder brother has really changed. Since he was restored as the prince, he has become more eager for quick success. The fifth elder brother feels that this second elder brother is no longer his second elder brother, but has truly become the historical prince.In order to collect money, he actually disregarded thousands of Liming people, and he ordered people to collect money for river governance, vainly caring about the howling of the people.Does he still have people in his heart?Is he still the prince who will be a generation of Mingjun?Fortunately, it is still autumn and winter, and the river has dried up, so no major disaster has been caused.However, this is by no means an excuse to forgive the prince.A large number of cronies under the prince have been locked up, and Khan Ama will probably soon abolish the prince.

"Then Xiao Wu, what do you think of me?" Fourth elder brother asked in a low voice, so soft that it was almost inaudible, and there was an ambition hidden in his tone that he didn't even think of.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother, you—" the fifth elder brother thought for a while, the fourth brother in front of him was not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the Yongzheng portrayed in history, but because he was lonely and helpless since he was a child, he was delicate and arrogant Delicate and cute.

The fifth elder brother paused and replied: "Fourth brother has the world in mind, even if you are a king, there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that fourth brother, you are too awkward. Except for a thick-skinned person like me, no one else can understand your identity." Thoughts. Since I have lived here for a long time, the fourth brother should know that I have no idea about that position, and the fourth brother can do whatever he can."

"Okay, I see." The fourth elder brother replied, he took a deep look at the fifth elder brother, and strode away.

On the way back, the fourth elder brother was also thinking carefully.

To be honest, he was really envious of Xiao Wu's free and easy attitude.Since he was a child, he felt that Xiao Wu was different from other brothers. He seemed to have studied Buddhism with the Queen Mother for a long time, and he had a more compassionate heart than these brothers.I also live like an ascetic, and I don't like luxury.

After he handled the household department, he knew that a large part of the money and food for disaster relief every year came from the former Wubeile Mansion and the current Prince Heng Mansion.It's just that he hadn't heard of it before in court. After he knew about it, the Minister of the Household Department asked him to keep it secret for the time being.It can be seen that Khan Ama knew about this a long time ago, but he just kept people from speaking.Only then did he understand that Han Ama's preference for Xiao Wu came from here.

Xiao Wu, what was he thinking?What exactly do you want?

·

"The fourth elder brother is gone?" Chunru came out from the back room, "Is everything coming to an end soon?"

"Yeah, everything is coming to an end." Brother Wu smiled and rubbed the hair of the girl he loves, "What I promised you will come true soon."

It's a pity that Brother Wu said this quickly, but it still dragged on for another year.

In the 51st year of Kangxi, Kangxi toured outside the Great Wall, and on the day he returned to Beijing, he summoned all the princes, ministers and princes, and announced to them the news of the second abolition of the prince.

Over the past few decades, the matter of establishing and abolishing the prince has finally come to an end.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then entered a new battle for the reserve.

It's just that all of this has nothing to do with the fifth elder brother's family.After the incident of abolishing the prince again, Kangxi gave 5000 taels of silver to the third elder brother, fourth elder brother, fifth elder brother, and seventh elder brother who played an important role in the Tuoheqi father and son corruption case.At the same time, the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother each got a garden, and the seventh elder brother got a Zhuangzi outside the city.As for the Fifth Elder Brother, as he wished, Kangxi gave him the mansion on the hill south of the Summer Resort, and allowed him to live there with his family.

The fifth elder brother finally fulfilled his promise to Xiaoru.

·

Twenty years later, Fifth Prince and Chunru are both old, and Dumpling and Tangyuan are married and have children.

Because Tangyuan's dream of becoming a doctor is too expensive, after discussing with the two children, the couple worried that Tangyuan would starve to death because of lack of money, so they asked Kangxi for an order to make Hongyang the prince of Heng's mansion. Prince.

As for the dumplings, this kid followed his fourteenth uncle to the northwest without saying a word, and came back with meritorious service, and was named a shellfish by Kangxi, which made his ninth uncle very angry.

In the past 20 years, a lot of things have happened. The eighth elder brother was completely disgusted by Kangxi because of the eagle killing incident, and he withdrew from the competition for the reserve position. Only the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother were left to compete.

Since the death of the queen mother's own sister, Emege Eji's health has deteriorated day by day, and he passed away soon.The fifth elder brother was greatly mourned, and immediately vomited blood when he heard the news, and nearly passed out.Kangxi was considerate of the fifth elder brother's body, so he refused to let him take charge, and only appointed the twelfth elder brother Yinyi as the chief manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and let him handle the affairs of the queen mother.But Kangxi didn't say anything else about the matter of the fifth elder brother personally going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help after he woke up, and tacitly asked the child to send his Emege Eji for the last journey.

After the empress dowager's funeral, Kangxi's body was not as good as before.

This year, the border was unstable, and the leader of the Junggar tribe, Cewang Alabatan, sent troops to attack the northwest. Kangxi appointed the fourteenth elder brother as the general of Fuyuan, and ordered him to station in Qinghai, strictly guard the border, and drive away Cewang Alabatan.

The war lasted for several years. In these few years, the twelfth elder brother Yinfei was more and more favored by Kangxi, and he looked a bit like the eighth elder brother back then.It's just that it's the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, it's just a big dream.

When Khan Ama passed away, the fifth elder brother was not by his side.He was sent by Khan Ama to sacrifice to the imperial tomb of Emoge Eji.When he came back, everything was settled.His fourth brother has become the emperor.

Because Khan Ama died of illness in Changchun Garden, the body should not be moved, so the fourth prince set up mourning halls in Changchun Garden and the Forbidden City.The mourning hall in the Forbidden City is used to cry for spirits, while the mourning hall in Changchun Garden only allows elder brothers and close clansmen to worship.

When the fifth elder brother walked into Changchun Garden mourning hall, it was snowing heavily outside.After entering the house, the snow melted into the cloak.

The fourth elder brother knelt there.

Fifth elder brother called him: "Fourth elder brother——"

The fourth elder brother turned around, and the fifth elder brother saw clearly the dragon robe he was wearing, only then did he realize that he had said something wrong, and quickly changed his words: "Your brother sees the emperor!"

"Xiao Wu, do you want to treat me like this?" Brother Si's voice trembled slightly, "Forget it, come and copy Buddhist scriptures with me."

The fifth elder brother came and knelt down with the fourth elder brother, took the pen and paper handed over by the eunuch, and quietly copied it.

"Fourth brother, do you remember? The second brother said that he would be a good prince, and then he broke his promise. What about you, fourth brother? Do you remember what you said in Shangshufang?" After copying the scriptures, they threw them into the fire and watched the ashes fly higher and higher.

The fourth elder brother looked at Xiao Wu, who was awkward and still refused to grow a beard, and smiled. Xiao Wu was still so innocent: "I remember. I only hope that there will be no corrupt officials in the world."

He told the eunuch Su Peisheng beside him: "Send Prince Heng back."

The fifth elder brother took a last look at the fourth elder brother. He felt that the fourth elder brother was a bit pitiful. There was only one lonely person who ascended to the highest position.

He didn't know why fate brought him to this era?He wanted to make a change, but to no avail.

"Fourth brother," fifth elder brother said softly, "you will be a good emperor, you are not alone, you—"

The fourth elder brother suddenly approached the fifth elder brother and tightened the cloak for him: "The fourth elder brother knows, it's cold, you will be weak when you are small, go back and have a good rest."

The fifth elder brother looked at the fourth elder brother, wondering if the fourth elder brother understood what he meant, and left Changchun Garden quietly.

After Khan Ama's filial piety, the fifth elder brother took Chunru back to Rehe, and continued to accompany Xiaoru to do research. He would never return to Beijing unless it was a major festival.

However, thinking of his fourth brother who is far away in the capital, he can't help but feel soft-hearted, so he often orders people to bring gifts and letters back to Beijing.

Historical records:

Prince Hengwen Yinqi, the fifth son of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, was promoted to Prince Heshuo in the 48th year of Kangxi, and was given the title of Prince Heng.Prince Heng is very kind-hearted and honest. He and the two emperors Kangxi and Yongzheng had a blind date as father and son, and they were brothers. It was a good story.

The author has something to say:

Because the protagonist is the fifth elder brother, the series of events that followed after the seizure of the heir had nothing to do with the fifth elder brother.

This is the official end here. If you see an update later, there is a high probability that the author is revising the article.
