starling is not a bird

It is said that the fourth elder brother's artistic talent is recognized by the world. This can be seen from his childhood. When he reaches the age of having a son, he has formed his own set of aesthetic standards, and it is much higher than that of ordinary people. kind.

And when such a discerning and tasteful person received the gift from his younger brother, he would inevitably frown and carefully turn over the scroll to see if there were any hidden secrets or miracles of changing color with dripping water.

It's a pity, after the fourth elder brother tried all the ideas, he could only come to one conclusion, all the calligraphy and paintings sent by his eighth brother were defective!

The fourth elder brother also knows that the eighth elder brother is one of the more reliable brothers, whether it is character or ability, so, is this gift trying to imply something?

Soon, the opportunity came. On this day, the fourth elder brother was talking with Emperor Kangxi about the serious illness of the household department. The father and son were relatively embarrassing.

Kangxi didn't want any more trouble at this time, so he took his son to see Gao Shiqi's contribution of calligraphy and painting.

The fourth elder brother listened to Kangxi introducing the treasures sent by Gao Xueshi with a smile on his face, and when the waiter pulled the scroll away, the fourth elder brother paused in his heart: This calligraphy and painting is so rough, how can it be considered a high-quality goods?

But after thinking about it, it must be because I don't know how to appreciate Gao Xueshi's literary talent.

But when he saw the little cinnabar seal under the picture scroll, the fourth brother almost screamed out on the spot: Isn't this the same seal as the defective products sent by his eighth brother?

The fourth elder brother immediately understood why the eighth elder brother gave him calligraphy and painting!Thinking about Gao Xueshi deceiving the emperor again, I can't help but feel resentment in my heart, insulting my emperor Ama like this, he will be punished!

The fourth elder brother was about to expose Gao Shiqi's mask, but when he looked up and saw the expression of a child offering a treasure on his Huang Ama's face, thinking that he was waiting for himself to agree with his good vision, his heart softened again!

My emperor, Ama, manages all kinds of opportunities, but the courtiers are so selfish, so now I want to take away a little fun?

"Huang Ama, this picture of Spring Dawn is a fine product. You can tell it's not ordinary just by looking at the bird's tail feathers. It's rare that Mr. Gao can find it for you. It's really worth admiring!"

The fourth elder brother is no longer an impulsive child. As a father, he is a little more tender than before. Looking at his old father's aging face, why is it difficult to tell some lies to make him happy?

: "Really? The fourth elder brother has always liked it. Since even you praise it, it is indeed a fine product. Next time I will give Gao Shiqi a good reward! Haha!"

Kangxi was very pleased with his son's approval, so he asked the servant to hang up the picture scroll and ordered someone to take care of it.

"Huang Ama, I don't know if Tibet is willing to hand over that thief now?" The fourth elder brother didn't want Kangxi to continue to praise Gao Shiqi for how he loved you, so he quickly changed the subject.

Kangxi suppressed the smile on his face when he heard the words, and snorted coldly: "That guy is just lingering, the defeated general, how dare you speak bravely? It's just that Diba is hateful, hiding that guy and refusing to hand it over, I'm afraid he has Different heart!"

After thinking for a while, Kangxi said again: "Si elder brother, don't worry, you and eighth elder brother took a big risk for me, and I have not forgotten!" Then he asked the servant to show the fourth elder brother the will written by himself: I uphold Taoism and love all living beings, so I give blessings to those who sincerely protect Taoism, and condemn those who conspire to tempt people to corrupt Taoism.You, Diba, were originally in charge of the Dalai Lama's subordinates. Because you did not violate the Dalai Lama's instructions and assisted the Taoism, so I sealed you.

It now appears that you are adhering to the teachings of Tsongkhapa, but in fact you are in collusion with Galdan, deceiving the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama Hu Tugtu, and corrupting the teachings of Tsongkhapa.

First, you falsely claimed that the long-dead Dalai Lama is still alive, and sent Jilong Hu Tuktu to Ulan Butong, where Galdan is located, to recite scriptures for Galdan and choose a date for the battle; Peace as a word, delayed our army's pursuit, and caused Galdan to flee far away.I sent people to summon the Panchen Lama Hutuktu for all sentient beings, but you lied to the Panchen Lama by saying that Galdan was going to kill him and not let him come to the capital.

Qinghai Boshuo Ketu Jinong married and communicated with Galdan in private, but you did not report it; in fact, without you, there would be no marriage between Boshuo Ketujinong and Galdan.

Galdan believed your instigation, so he disobeyed my order.Many lamas in Tibet now tell me that the Dalai Lama has passed away for nine years.In this regard, you dared to hide without reporting the funeral, and supported Galdan to raise troops against the imperial court, which is a very serious crime.Where to go, come and report in the near future, otherwise, it will be too late to regret.

The fourth elder brother knew that his Huang Ama had always regarded himself as a benevolent monarch, and would never reprimand and threaten his subordinates like this unless it was a last resort. If you think about it, Nadiba is really bold, does it mean that he still wants to take the opportunity to split Tibet?

Thinking of this, the fourth elder brother couldn't help but break out in cold sweat: "Huang Ama, it's obvious that Diba's infidelity is revealed, so we must guard against it!"

Kangxi smiled and looked at his son approvingly. The previous depression never appeared on his face again: "Of course I know, how can I let him succeed? In September, I will go on a personal conquest again, and you have to stay in the capital well." Give me a good look at the military expenses and rations, huh?"

The fourth elder brother hastily bowed and agreed, and set off again in September?

The fourth elder brother can't help but start to have a headache!Where are we going to collect so much military spending!

But Kangxi above had already begun to happily discuss the expedition plan with his son, and joked again when he talked about the excitement: "At that time, your eighth brother said that he would capture the Living Buddha to sweep the floor, but this time I will take him there. Let's see if he has the ability to catch one back! Haha"

Back home, the fourth elder brother was unhappy. Hearing what Huang Ama said, he would have no part to go to war again. He had to contribute to get the money, but the eldest brother, the third brother and the eighth brother still had to go out with them. They were all capable people. ah!

Brother Si is out of balance?Oh, my master worked hard in the capital to earn money for you to fight the war. After the work is over, the credit is yours, so why don't you go to cool off?No way!

I also remembered that since the eighth elder brother came back from the expedition, he was wearing a tiger skin to study and couldn’t come to work. The fourth elder brother snorted coldly, and tomorrow he will catch that kid and grind it, so that he still has time to go shopping on the overpass. Minister of Calligraphy, Painting and Teasing!

Emperor Kangxi was not idle here. Bu Yu stopped at the gate of Ningshou Palace. The Empress Dowager was overjoyed when she saw her son coming. The emperor's hand asks questions.Kangxi had always been patient with this simple-minded empress dowager, and he answered everything with a smile.

"Queen Mother, have you done what your son has entrusted to you?" Kangxi knew that to make the elderly happy, there is nothing better than making them feel capable!

The Empress Dowager really felt energetic when she heard this: "Your Majesty, I have seen a lot of girls in this month, and they are all very good, and I can't be sure! Otherwise, the Emperor, why don't you take a look?"

Kangxi smiled: "Where do I have the time! But what you said, Queen Mother, is that there are many good girls, so choose a few more alternatives at that time, lest people think that we only focus on those few, and say that our royal family has no grace. !"

The Empress Dowager nodded, and Kangxi looked at Concubine Yi again and said, "Concubine Yi, didn't you tell me to let you put some people in for those two boys? Why didn't you hear anything?"

Concubine Yi hurriedly stood up, her eyes slanted with anger and anger: "Your Majesty, which of the two boys is more worry-free? The concubine dare not let anyone go casually, you have to pick and choose, right?"

Kangxi was overjoyed when he heard the words: "It's just the people in the house, wouldn't it be enough to pick a few who are gentle, gentle and well-behaved? Forget it, you can figure it out, but you have to hurry up. You will get married next year, so it can't be too late! "

Concubine Yi hurriedly replied yes, and Kangxi said again: "Concubine Yi, the Heshuo Gege born to your sister is already old, it's time to get married!"

Concubine Yi knew as soon as she heard it that the sixth daughter of the emperor had conferred the title of Princess Heshuo five years ago. Her younger sister always thought that the child was going to marry far away, and ran away to her several times to wipe her eyes.

Unexpectedly, five years have passed in a flash, the emperor has no intention of marrying his daughter at all, and he has made indirect remarks several times, but Kangxi just keeps silent, so she can't do anything about it!

I gave birth to brats, but my younger sister is lively and cute, and I don’t know how lovely she is to be around. I naturally hope that she is good, but how many princesses in the Qing Dynasty can get good ones?

Could it be that everyone can win the emperor's favor like Princess Rong Xian, and everything goes smoothly?It's just that when things come to an end, you have to plan more for this niece!

: "Yeah, I'm already a grown-up, the emperor, don't be in a hurry, even the concubines are in a hurry!"

Yi Fei replied with a smile.There was a small drum beating in my heart, the emperor had just returned from his conquest, and he was busy, but he wanted to marry his daughter. Could it be that he wanted to marry to stabilize the frontier?It's just that I don't know whether the forehead will stay in the capital or go to Mongolia, and I feel sorry for this poor niece.

Kangxi nodded: "I've made up my mind, I'll get married next year, you see her preparing for marriage, you have to prepare for it, don't let people say that I'm stingy, after all, it's my own aunt, I don't worry if you do things!"

Concubine Yi smiled: "It's rare that your majesty doesn't speak, and your concubines don't care about everything? Your majesty also underestimates your concubines. Even among the masters in the palace, who doesn't love her to the bone? Your majesty, don't worry!"

: "Dundobdorji, the eldest son of Galdandorji, King of Doro County, is good-natured, but Liu Gege is a bit tough." Kangxi replied without hesitation: "In the future, I will guard the north side with my son-in-law. You can't let her temper do it, you have to teach her more!"

The empress dowager next to her was quite dizzy when she heard this: "Outer Mongolia? It's so far away to marry! But the pastures in Outer Mongolia are good, so give me more!"

Kangxi laughed and responded: "Okay, give me more!"

Concubine Yi laughed along with her, but her heart turned cold, Mobei Khalkha Mongolia?It's so far away, it's hard to see each other in the future, I think my sister's tears won't dry up, right?It seems that Nagaldan is really difficult to fight, and the emperor is afraid that he will go out again!Otherwise, why bother to win over the Khalkha Mongolian tribe?

Zhang Jiashi sat down and smiled lightly: "It's so wonderful, both are Borzigit's daughter-in-laws, and Liugege and Sangege have become sisters-in-law. It's also a fate, and it's thanks to the emperor!"

Kangxi smiled, and Sangege was his favorite: "That's right, most of my princesses in the Qing Dynasty marry Mongolia, so they can take care of each other!"

Concubine Yi felt bitter. Princess Rongxian married Monan, and Liugege married Mobei. A hundred and eight thousand miles away, this Zhang Jia knew how to please the emperor with just one word!

Concubine Yi was furious when Zhang Jia spoke again: "Your Majesty, San Gege married Mongolia. The husband and wife are harmonious and beautiful. It is the Emperor who knows people with your eyes. The concubines in the deep palace have also heard that the son-in-law Urgon has made great achievements. It is the emperor's blessing!"

The son-in-law Urgon was selected by Kangxi with great efforts, and he did not disappoint Kangxi's appreciation, and made great achievements repeatedly. This time he went out to fight bravely and killed the enemy, which made Kangxi very happy.At this moment, listening to Zhang Jia boasting about her unique vision, even though she knew it was flattery, she felt very comfortable listening to it.

Concubine Rong Ma Jiashi was sitting at the top, watching others discuss her daughter, she just listened silently, like a dead wood, yes, Concubine Rong, who once favored the sixth palace, dominated the king for so long. So what if I gave birth to four elder brothers, they all went!Now that she is devoted to Buddha, besides praying for her children, she will not fight anymore!

But if she doesn't fight, it doesn't mean others won't fight!Concubine Yi was already itching her teeth with hatred, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, Thirteen Gege is already more than ten years old, don't worry, please ask the emperor to let him choose a good son-in-law for Gege in Mongolia, when the time comes How nice to be with her sister?"

Zhang Jia was startled, and regretted that she should have forgotten her duty in order to please the emperor. Concubine Rong is of course a good person who ignores everything, but is Concubine Yi easy to offend?Busily pursed his lips into a smile, and made no further sound!

Naturally, Concubine Hui was also not used to seeing her, so she hurriedly answered: "Oh, why is my sister silent? It must be because she can't bear her daughter, that's not possible, how can a good daughter get a good son-in-law if you can't bear it?"

For a moment, everyone laughed, and Zhang Jia could only apologize.Concubine De hurriedly interjected: "Since my sister is reluctant to part with it, I have no choice but to let my Jiu Gege get her Huang Ama's grace!"

The emperor got up to have dinner, and all the concubines resigned from the empress dowager. Concubine Hui deliberately lagged behind, looked at Concubine Jia and said, "Sister, why don't you try new dishes at my sister's place today?"

Coincidentally, Concubine Yi heard it: "Why are there good things that are not cheap for me? No matter, I'm going to try it!" Concubine Hui was happy to hold one back.

Sure enough, the eighth elder brother dragged his younger brothers to eat at night. The concubine Yi was so angry when she saw her son. If a mother-in-law wants to see him, she must say hello first, but why is she like a little follower? Sticking to the old eight's ass all day long?

I also thought of the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony of my son's filial piety in the previous ten days.

Thinking of the terminally ill Xiao Shiyi, he couldn't say anything cruel.Just forcing her son to sit against her, and not allowing him to be next to the eighth elder brother, isn't it a good mother?Then I will be a bad mother!

Concubine Hui wanted to help the eighth elder brother, the mother and son were the closest, the eighth elder brother didn't dare to stand out in front of Huifei, he just persuaded the food in a low voice, and the concubine Jia knew that her son's status was embarrassing, so she thought about it more and more Well done Concubine Hui!

The elder brother avoided suspicion because he was old, and Da Fujin was pregnant, so it was not good to ask her to stand upright and did not call over. There were only a few empresses and elder brothers at the table, and it felt warm .

The eighth elder brother steals glances at Concubine Jia's belly from time to time, wanting to touch it, but dare not, even though he is the birth mother, it doesn't make sense, if only Concubine Hui is the only one, it would be fine, but Concubine Yi is also there, so he can't Don't be shy.

Turning his head to see the slight loneliness on Xiao Shi's face again, he felt a little annoyed, originally he was afraid that he would be alone, so he took care of everything.But the pain of the younger brother's mother's death has not faded away. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to see the older brothers' mother and son happy together?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Shi raised his wine glass and said to Madam Yifei, "Madam, my son is toasting you with a glass of wine. I wish Madam good luck, and also wish my brother a speedy well-being!"

Concubine Yi was taken aback, but for the sake of her young son, she also smiled and took a sip of wine. Xiao Shi comforted her with gentle words, and she seemed more elegant than the serious brother Jiu. Although Concubine Yi felt uneasy, women always Willing to listen to those vain consolations, the meal can be considered very lively for a while.

After everyone had chatted about the meal, Concubine Hui offered a cup to see off the guests, and the eighth elder brother naturally did his part to escort Concubine Jia for a ride, even if it was only a few hundred meters away, it was enough for him to thank Concubine Hui for her meticulousness arranged.

The vermilion gate was in front of my eyes, and the eighth elder brother felt that he hadn't spoken half of the instructions, and the concubine Jia was so full of love that she didn't dare to say it, so she quietly reached out and shook the eighth elder brother's hand, and the concubine Jia smiled and said : "Sure enough, it's tall. In the future, you still have to take care of your body, so as not to worry about the emperor!"

The eighth elder brother nodded in response: "Young lady, please take care of yourself, everything is fine with your son, and your son will be at ease if everything goes well for you, lady! I will also meet Gege in my room when I am free. Although they are not smart enough to be lovable, they understand and relieve boredom." That's fine too."

Concubine Jia smiled and agreed, what is there not to know about her son's filial piety?Several baskets of tonics were sent away. After thinking and thinking, Concubine Jia still said: "Don't worry about the palace, there is nothing lacking in the palace. The emperor said that I will add people to your room in a few days." , you are not too young!"

The eighth elder brother smiled when he heard this, but kept silent, looked at the sky, and said goodbye no matter how reluctant he was, and bowed to send Concubine Jia into the inner palace. The eighth elder brother was still listening to the footsteps until Piao Miao did not turn around.

On the second day, the eighth elder brother was caught out of tolerance by the furious fourth elder brother. He was forced to add up the expenditure of the household department together, and was forced to go to the military department to fight with those old men who like to eat empty wages. Who doesn't know that the fourth elder brother Brother's reputation?He already had a plan in his chest, and he just waited for the fourth brother to show his skills.

Sure enough, the fourth elder brother said something to remonstrate, and the military department had another word to support it. The fourth elder brother changed his words to win over, and the military department changed his words to beg for mercy. The emperor is such a useful weapon, the final result is naturally that the fourth elder brother is completely defeated!Under Emperor Kangxi's basic ruling policy of being lenient and benevolent, the one who loses if he is serious must be the fourth elder brother!

The eighth elder brother looked coldly at the fourth elder brother pretending to be a wall, while he played the role of a quiet mushroom. Huang Ama ascended the throne at a young age, first destroying the powerful officials, and then ruling the San Francisco. Could it be that his fists can solve everything?If it weren't for the courtiers who supported the sky and the disciples of the Eight Banners who bravely killed the enemy, how could there be today's rule?

Although these people were favored by Huang Ama, they are also qualified to be favored. Sudden illnesses are cured slowly. Such hard-handed management will not only fail to solve the problem, but will give them a chance to fight back.The fourth brother has always been rough in things, when can he be more strategic?What's so good about going head-to-head like this?

For the personal conquest in September, Kangxi finally chose to compromise. The fourth elder brother was ordered not to interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of War, and concentrated on supervising the household department, while the emperor's personal conquest became a patrol of military affairs. King Shengde, how good is it?

The fourth elder brother, who was originally devoted to doing practical things, was hit by this blow, and was very depressed for a while. Apart from visiting the household department, he just stayed in his yard to accompany Fujin.Prince Yu managed to block his nephew in the road at dusk one day!

"Fourth, where do you plan to live?"

Prince Yu is also very helpless with this nephew who doesn't like talking and socializing, even the arrogant elder brother is easier to deal with than him!

: "Uncle Huang, you have the final say!" The fourth elder brother didn't care much about these things.

But casual is the hardest thing to do!With a stiff face, Prince Yu continued to ask, "Is there any location you particularly like?"

"I don't like anything in particular, you can arrange it, Uncle Huang!" The fourth elder brother continued to be easy-going.

: "Then live in Dongcheng!" Prince Yu threw out his belly case!

The fourth elder brother frowned: "The location there is good, but the location is a bit narrow?"

Prince Yu was very entangled in his heart. This elder brother seems to have only sealed a Baylor. How can he do so much construction work? It’s not easy to say directly: "There is still room for expanding the establishment in the future, don't worry!"

Si elder brother shook his head: "Brothers are going to open a mansion, I guess I can only live there, I want to be next to brothers!"

Prince Yu was surprised when he heard the words, didn't he hear that this nephew was close to that brother?At that time, he didn't even take care of his own younger brother, but now he has to live next to his brothers, can't he?

The fourth elder brother continued: "Uncle Huang, didn't you still see Taibao Street? There are enough houses there, so I'll live there!" Prince Yu was stunned, there were indeed many houses there, but he had already agreed to it. Brother and the others, give them the place to build the palace, the three of them live next to each other, and now add another fourth elder brother?If they don't add another seal, it's okay, but in the future when the crown prince ascends the throne, he will naturally add another seal, and then move?

But seeing the serious and troubled expression of the fourth elder brother, Prince Yu let out a sigh of relief, who knows who will take care of this mess when the crown prince ascends the throne?Why let the nephew blame himself as an uncle now?

: "You will pick and choose, and you want to go with your younger brothers. In the future, you will live with the eighth elder brother and the others, and you will knock down the roof of the house?" Prince Yu said with a smile.

The fourth elder brother also laughed: "That's why we need an elder brother to discipline them, otherwise the second elder brother will punish them?"

In the room, the elder brother was playing chess with the eighth elder brother. After playing for half an hour, on the chessboard, the black and white two sons killed each other, which was called Lingling!

Biting the handle of the fan, thinking hard about which eye can break through, the eighth elder brother has stopped working hard for a cup of tea, and the eldest elder brother does not rush him.Just asked the maid to cut watermelon and feed it to him spoon by spoon.

One didn't pay attention, the spoonful of watermelon was only half bitten, and the juice flowed from the corner of the mouth to the chin and neck. On the other side, when everyone went down, the elder brother couldn't help asking: "Have you thought about it? Can you win?"

The eighth elder brother raised his head and sneered: "Brother is too impatient, now you are sitting on the Diaoyutai, as long as the bait is fragrant enough, if you sit for a long time, the fish will naturally take the bait!"

The elder brother nodded, and the ladies of the palace came in one after another carrying copper basins, towels, soap, and balm. The one who held the basin knelt down, and the one who held the towel threw the towel and squatted to serve it. Eighth elder brother, clean your face and wait for it to be wiped. After finishing the balm, the two also lost interest in playing chess, removed the chessboard and Eighth Brother left.

This day, the third elder brother followed Prince Yu and the fourth elder brother to see his future residence, and met Mr. Chen Menglei on the way. The third elder brother was overjoyed, so he resigned from the two of them and went to the study with Chen Menglei.

But the fourth elder brother is listening to people's persuasion recently, thinking of collecting more books by Fang Yu and Ming Lun for his child who is about to be born.It just so happens that Chen Menglei is a talent who has mastered the past and the present, and I admired it very much at the beginning. It is rare to meet him, how can I let it go?

The third elder brother has always been a kind-hearted person, so the three of them went to Xizhimen with a guard of honor, and they had a lot of gains along the way. The elder brother left it behind, but Chen Menglei was extremely embarrassed, and looked at the third elder brother several times.

The third elder brother knew his younger brother's temper a long time ago, so he looked at Chen Menglei with reassurance, and he followed behind, not unhappy at all.

The three of them riding together were not fast. The third elder brother thought that Chen Menglei was a literati, so he pulled the reins and refused to gallop.

A horse rushed out from the stabbing, and almost knocked Chen Menglei over. The guards beside him hurriedly grabbed Chen Menglei's horse. After the initial shock, they found out that the person kneeling and apologizing was Gao Shiqi!

The third elder brother hurriedly went down to help him up, although he is a subject, but Gao Xueshi is Kangxi's teacher, how dare he let Huang Ama's teacher kneel for a long time?

As a result, Gao Shiqi's speech was incoherent, his sentences were out of order, and he lost his style. The third elder brother rolled his eyes, isn't this the side door of Suo'etu's mansion?

Suddenly he understood that when Gao Shiqi was humble, it was Suo'etu's domestic slave who recommended him to Suo'etu as an aide, and then got the power of Suo'etu to become an imperial scholar, so he won Huang Ama's favor.

The third elder brother has also heard people say that Suo Xiang is arrogant, treats scholar-bureaucrats with no etiquette, and treats high-ranking scholars like bossing around, treating him like a slave!

Now Bachelor Gao has been promoted exceptionally by Huang Ama, and he is considered a high-ranking official, but Prime Minister Na Suo still makes him kneel down and refuses to sit down.If there is something unsatisfactory, he will kneel in court, slander him ugly, gnash his teeth and insult his parents and wife. Thinking about being blamed by Huang Ama for Suoxiang recently, he will naturally vent his anger!I couldn't help sympathizing with Gao Shiqi in my heart.

Gao Shiqi's face was red and white, and he was about to resign, but was stopped by the fourth elder brother: "Scholar Gao, go slowly, I have something to ask you!" He looked back at the third elder brother, "The third elder brother and Mr. Chen Go back first, I still have something to talk to Gao Xueshi!"

The third elder brother was taken aback, smiled and agreed, and dragged Chen Menglei away. The fourth elder brother looked at Gao Shiqi with a cold face: "Mr. Gao, please have a cup of tea with me!"

The Crown Prince of Yuqing Palace dropped his favorite cup, and in the palace of his favorite side Fujin Li Jiashi, why couldn't his great-uncle calm down?I was demoted by Huang Ama just now, and I still humbly admit my mistake at home, and give Huang Ama a step to recover, why should I actively pursue it?

Do you think you will soften your heart if you find a few people to co-sign the title Huang Ama?Huang Ama is the most stubborn, how could she be controlled by others?That's all, it's true that you asked Gao Shiqi to help, but can you have a better attitude?That is also Huang Ama's close minister, how dare you let someone kneel in your yard and be insulted by you?My Empress Ama is not as domineering as you!

Just as he was thinking about finding a way to show his favor, he wooed Gao Shiqi by the way, and it was reported outside that it was the third elder brother who came to see him, the Crown Prince was inevitably surprised.

The third elder brother came here for nothing else, just to talk about the progress of Chen Menglei's book compilation. The third elder brother repeatedly emphasized the time, place, character and environment when he met Chen Menglei, and the crown prince suddenly realized that this is for him to pick it up!After finishing Tai Chi with the third child with a smile on his face, and sending off his younger brother warmly, the crown prince's face turned cold.

I sent someone to check Gao Shiqi's words and deeds, there was nothing special, but after talking with the fourth elder brother, he handed over a message asking to see Mingzhu after the door was closed for a few days!The crown prince almost spat out a mouthful of blood, the elder brother hasn't stopped yet, come again?Fourth son, aren't you Tong Jia's adopted son?Do you have other thoughts?

Mingzhu accepted Gao Shiqi's invitation, and went to the garden in the suburbs of Beijing with his wife to relax at home, Suo'etu, Suo'etu, why did you dig your own grave to take advantage of me?This really makes me feel invincible!And once again I told my son Nalan Kuixu well, if he wants to live well and follow the elder brother, it will definitely benefit him!Now that Dafu Jin is about to give birth, when you let your daughter-in-law Geng come to the palace to pay her respects, you should also greet her a little bit more!

The fourth elder brother was completely in a dream, thinking that he had done a good deed for Huang Ama, and he would not be deceived by those cunning Han officials. But after a few days, Kangxi showed the fourth elder brother some calligraphy and painting: "I The only ones who are close to you are high-ranking scholars, true gentlemen, who behave well, you must be close to them, and you must learn from them!"

The fourth elder brother was like falling into the clouds, and when he came back, he was at a loss and couldn't help laughing. It turns out that being a king is nothing more than that.Eldest brother lit a brazier in his own yard, picked a few paintings and calligraphy sent by eighth elder brother and burned them, and then hit a few servants on the board, alleging that the calligraphy and painting sent by younger brother was dirty!

The person sent to Hebei came back, answered the elder brothers, and brought him back the couplet that the eighth elder brother explained to him. Yuan Tiancheng was still very happy to receive the satisfactory praise and the expected big reward.

Brother Jiu looked at the couplet and couldn't understand it. What is myna doing?Babaer to help an old man in his 60s?What's the use of being an old man who has tried and failed?

The eighth elder brother didn't make a sound, and let people take the couplet well, saying that he would post it in the study when he went out to open his house and build his teeth. The tenth elder brother read the couplet carefully and figured out something.

"Brother, do you want to recruit some staff?" Elder Brother Shi is an honest person, and he has several good uncles, but Brother Star doesn't have any!

The eighth elder brother is stupid, how high is he in the hearts of his younger brothers?Are you underestimating people?With a big wave of his hand, set out tea, the master should talk about it in a good way!

: "Let me ask you, do we have many officials in the Qing Dynasty?"

: "A lot!"

"Can you do it?" Brother Eight continued to work hard

Both of them were dumbfounded.

The eighth prince smiled: "You must want to say that many of them are trash, but think about it, whoever was not selected by Huang Ama in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty, are they all trash?"

Elder Brother Ten lowered his head and thought for a while: "They failed to do it on the right track!"

The eighth elder brother smiled approvingly: "Why?"

Brother Jiu rushed to say: "Just thinking about my family's well-being, I don't want to serve the court!"

The eighth elder brother smiled even better: "Then why let them serve the court wholeheartedly?"

Elder Brother Ten frowned thickly: "There are clear rewards and punishments, rewards for good deeds, and killing those for bad deeds!"

Brother Jiu slapped him: "Nonsense, who will work for the court if you kill him?"

Eighth Brother nodded: "Yes, Xiao Shi, you are too simple and rude!"

Brother Jiu thought for a while and said, "A high-ranking official with a generous salary?"

Eighth Prince put down his teacup and said earnestly, "Isn't this the case now?"

The two elder brothers thought about it, yes, what the elder brother said was right, many times, Huang Ama even gave too much.

: "Let them have a sense of crisis!" Eighth Prince made the final decision.

Brother Ten said unconvinced, "Isn't that the same as me?"

The eighth elder brother smiled: "We don't have real swords, I want to let them know that if there is no one, they can do it. If they can't do it well, they can give up their positions. If there are others, others can do it well!"

Brother Nine rolled his eyes: "So myna, you go to help that academy because you want to cultivate talents?"

The eighth brother smiled: "It kind of means that, but not completely!"

: "Think about it, Suo Xiang, which Mingzhu can't do it? But when the factions are divided, they always fight. They only want to let the opponent lose, but they forget that the court should win! And the officials are in groups, and the party fights the dissidents. , Sometimes even Huang Ama has to give in, is it true that Gao Xueshi was impeached back then?"

Elder Brother Ten has been listening attentively: "Brother, do you mean to gather people to deal with them?"

The eighth elder brother laughed, touched his younger brother's head and said: "That's the prince's brother's business. It's not my turn to worry. I just want to reduce internal friction and let everyone do more practical things for the common people! Think about it, if there are more talents Whether it's Huang Ama or the prince, if you have a choice in the future, you can fight, and life will be peaceful, so that we can be happy princes!"

The eighth elder brother paused and said: "If there are more talents, the work can be distributed to more people, and the power will be divided, and no one will be proud of their talents and refuse to devote themselves to the country, right?"

Nine elder brothers grabbed a peach and started to chew: "Brother, why bother to manage the academy? Wouldn't it be faster to let Huang Ama open a course to obtain a scholar?"

The eighth elder brother shook his head: "Opening a course to obtain a scholar can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. You see, those academies are just spontaneously started by the people, but they have been able to support them so far. It can be seen that the common people welcome them. Even if not all of them are talents, it is for the sake of The imperial court educates the people, and we are full of people entering the customs for a long time, and the Eight Banners have begun to wear down day by day. If we cannot educate the people, how can those Han people fight against us? Winning the world immediately does not mean that we can rule the world immediately!"

The eyes of the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother suddenly showed admiration: "Myna, you think so far!" The eighth elder brother smiled. When he was forced to lose his son, he also thought about what would happen if he became a great treasure. To act, but unfortunately there is no chance.People who have no worries about the future must have worries about the near, let alone those who are in high positions?It's ridiculous that the brothers are only keen to seize the throne, how many of them have thought about how to sit firmly in this world?

Brother Nine suddenly leaned over and said, "Myna, you should be more suitable for the position of prince!" The shining light in his eyes almost dazzled Brother Ba's eyes.

The eighth elder brother was stunned, it was terrible, he lost his mind for a moment, he quickly collected his mind and covered the ninth elder brother's mouth and said in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about, I want to kill your eighth brother!"

Ninth Brother struggled and was about to say something, but Tenth Brother over there glared at him and said, "Ninth Brother, you are really ignorant, drink tea!" As he spoke, he stuffed a cup of tea into his hand, almost scalding it over him.

Brother Nine calmed down and knew that he was talking inappropriately. Fortunately, there was no one around to wait on him. Otherwise, if someone wanted to go to the prince to provoke him, life would be difficult for the starling. Few people who were targeted by the prince would live well!

: "Brother, that Chang Xi, let's deal with it if you have the chance! He belongs to the prince!" Brother Jiu suddenly remembered what he thought was very important but didn't say anything!

The eighth elder brother smiled lightly: "When you come to give the elder brother a message, the elder brother probably has turned into ashes, you forgot, I went to Gege a few days ago, and the concubine Tong came over in person and pulled a bunch of servants away As a punishment, Chang Xi was in charge of buying fruit, so he was kicked out a long time ago!"

"Then what about Chang Le next to the fourth brother?" Brother Jiu began to worry, he was not used to facing that cold-tempered brother.

"What should I do? That's what the prince wants. Do you still want to brush off the prince's wishes?" Eighth elder brother picked up the teacup and blew open the flag leaf carefully. Yes, the underarms are like a breeze!

The prince sent someone to inquire about what the fourth elder brother had said to Gao Shiqi, and Chang Le replied, but he didn't hear the specific conversation, but only vaguely heard Gao Xueshi say something: "Since the fourth prince is unwilling to take on the role, the slave has to Go find someone who is responsible!"

The prince pondered over these words over and over again, is it because the fourth brother can't win over, or is the fourth brother going along with the flow?Thinking about it later got annoying, so what if Gao Shiqi was reversed?Coats
