starling is not a bird

The new year is not too late, and the new snow has fallen all over the city. The warm sedan chairs have left deep and shallow traces in the Forbidden City. The princes and princes in various leather robes and cloaks brought their families into the palace to receive the banquet, red, red and blue. The blue looks especially good against the snow.

The wives of the Fujins swayed into the harem to receive the banquet. The princes, ministers and relatives all received the banquet here. Even in the New Year, the emperor’s face was not so good-looking. The dams of the Yellow River and the Huaihe River broke again. Many people are displaced, how can we celebrate the New Year?

All the ministers and workers who went to the palace for the banquet were trembling, and the banquet was even more solemn, and the elder brothers also held their own identities and refused to laugh loudly. It was a good New Year's Eve, but it was not lively.

The crown prince followed the emperor to sacrifice to the sky, sat in the emperor's lower hand in apricot yellow clothes, and nodded to the younger brothers proudly. The elder brother lowered his head to eat the food and pretended not to see it, and the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother sat on their seats. Unavoidable, he had no choice but to take his younger brothers to stand up and salute before sitting down.

The emperor led his ministers and workers to pay homage to the heaven and earth before sitting down to persuade the food and drink. Although the tone was not warm, no one dared to be dissatisfied.

Yabu took Yaerjiang Ah to make another table. Yaerjiang Ah was very unhappy next to his old Ah Ma. The prince's two sons were next to him, leaving Ama to Prince Yu to deal with, and Yaerjiang Ala was talking non-stop with Baotai.

Su Nu also came to the banquet, holding on to his crutches, sitting next to Yabu. This time, the emperor managed all the banners of the clan's mansion, and by the way, he also sent some of his own children in. All are unified.The faces of all aspects were smoothed out.

The eighth elder brother really looked down on Kangxi's behavior of whitewashing peace, how could he look like a wise king?My second brother wasn't a bad person, if it wasn't for Huang Ama's ignorance, how could he have fallen into what he did later?Thinking about it, everyone is not perfect, no matter how wise Huang Ama is, there is still a point of incomplete thinking.

He secretly made up his mind that he would definitely not be like Huang Ama, the internal affairs were in a mess, making it too ugly to fight each other.Thinking of this, Brother Ba became more attentive to the affairs of his family.

Ba Prince’s nanny, Yaqibu, followed Ba Prince out of the palace when Ba Prince opened his house and built his teeth. Because of the relationship with Ba Prince, Ba Prince treats Yaqibu differently from other people. He is more dependent on him, only one point eight elder brother asked and asked: Although you are Lord Baylor, but this capital is full of Mongolian princes, there are more yellow belts and red belts than soldiers guarding the city, and the Lord will support you in case of trouble , but don't go out of your way to provoke others.You and your grandfather are closely related, so don't cause trouble for your grandfather when you have nothing to do.

This time, the eighth elder brother deliberately entrusted him with all the daily purchases in the mansion, and promoted his son to be a long-term follower by his side, and promised to guide her to a good marriage when his daughter grows up.

Yaqibu has always been respected by the eighth elder brother, and now he is following the eighth elder brother wholeheartedly, conscientiously completing the daily errands, and the eighth elder brother gives a lot of monthly money and rewards. With a flattering heart, Yaqibu doesn't even take kickbacks very much. After all, the cost of eating and using things is small and the profits are small, so why ruin his reputation?

Yaqibu's daughter-in-law was also left in the mansion by the eighth elder brother to be a nanny. Fujin also respected her, but she was helping Fujin discipline the girls and daughter-in-laws. Qibu's daughter-in-law got the orders of the eighth elder brother, and from time to time went to help him take care of the children.

Bafujin also has his own thoughts. Before leaving the house, his mother taught him how to count the days, and the mothers in the mansion would tell him secretly, and the daughter-in-law of Yaqibu's family would also secretly urge Ba Ge to go to Bafujin on a daily basis. Fujin's room.But there is no news about Fujin's belly.

Others don't know, but Ba Fujin is very clear. It seems that Ba elder brother loves him very much, and often spends the night in his own room, but there are many days when he just spends the night alone, and he doesn't often have intercourse.Sometimes Ba Fujin himself will hint at Ba Ge, Ba Ge always smiles.

Before the Chinese New Year, Aling'a's wife came to see her daughter in this mansion, and rewarded him with a lot of things with a smile on her face, and then hugged little Gege in her arms and coaxed him for a long time.

Ba Fujin only dared to shed a few tears secretly when he buried his head in his mother's arms, but when Er Niang asked, Ba elder brother was very kind to Ba Fujin, and nothing made her feel uncomfortable. Why? Woolen cloth?Mrs. Aling'a couldn't figure it out either, so she could only comfort her daughter: "Your Lord Belle is a thoughtful man. Which one can you spoil so much, you can serve Lord Baylor with peace of mind, and Zixi can't be rushed!"

When the eight blessings entered the palace for a banquet on New Year's Eve, the concubine Hui and the concubine Jia were very kind to him. The concubine and concubine looked better than before. Gathering together, chatting and laughing, Bafujin looked at Sanfujin and Sifujin, feeling extremely envious.

The eighth elder brother here also has a worry in his heart. The Yellow River and the Huaihe River broke the embankment. Huang Ama must be going on a southern tour. If he wants to go out, I am afraid that the mansion can only be entrusted to Fujin. I really hope that the ninth and tenth elder brothers will get married as soon as possible. , came out to be next to me, and the housework can still be entrusted to me. Now that I leave, many things are not easy to arrange.

Sitting on the seat, Kangxi was also irritated and inexplicable. The Yellow River and the Huaihe River collapsed year after year, and the places where they went down the river were submerged. Yu Chenglong and Li Guangdi are all capable officials and virtuous ministers, and they were all put on the construction of the river by themselves, but now it is the result, Kangxi is shocked and angry in his heart!

The crown prince also knew that Huang Ama had moved his mind to make a southern tour, and he was even more happy that he could sit in the capital and handle affairs. Then, taking the opportunity of the southern tour, Huang Ama must deal with incompetent officials everywhere. The confidants also got a place to settle, what's wrong?

Eldest elder brother stood up and toasted Sunu with a glass of wine, complaining in his heart that Huang Ama was biased. He was reprimanded by Huang Ama for joking with foreign missionaries. Two words?Huang Ama let it go lightly, didn't mention a word, and even helped the second child to cover up, it really wasn't fair!

Everyone had their own thoughts during the meal, with smiles on their faces, and between the cups and cups, each other's expressions were blurred, and the harmonious New Year's Eve passed like this.

As soon as the new year came, the emperor issued a decree for the third southern tour. The fourth elder brother stood up and persuaded the emperor not to waste money. Kangxi smiled and agreed. On the 21st, he issued a decree and told the ministries of officials, households, soldiers, and industry to prepare for it in Beijing. It is strictly forbidden for officials along the way to use their names as academics, and officials of all sizes are not allowed to make troubles, and the people do not need to be shunned.

Then the empress dowager was invited to go with her, and the elder brothers who were older took all of them, including the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers, leaving only the ninth and tenth elder brothers to be dispatched by the crown prince.Although the thirteenth elder brother missed his mother, he cared more about his chance to express himself in front of the emperor, so he went happily.

The eighth elder brother asked the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother to get closer to the battalions of the Gyeonggi guards, and told them to follow the crown prince not to cause trouble, and then left with peace of mind.

Kangxi did not want to mobilize the army, so he only brought more than 300 people with him, and sailed south by boat at Datong Bridge, passing Hexiwu, Yangliuqing, Zhoujiazui, Qingxian, Dongguang and other places along the way. Their boat arrived at Sangzhou on the [-]th garden.

As soon as Kangxi arrived, he summoned Li Guangdi, the governor of Zhili. Li Guangdi did not take a rest on New Year's Eve, and led the people on both sides of the river to dredge the river. So far, it has achieved little success.

When Kangxi came to check, Li Guangdi personally held the rudder of the boat and pointed to the river in front of Emperor Kangxi: "Look, master, the Zhanghe River and the Hutuo River originally had their own channels to flow into the sea, but now the river channels are flooded Confluence, so the flooding is difficult to contain. The servant thought that if the old course of the Zhanghe River can be found, it can be opened to divert the Zhanghe River into the canal, so that the flooding of the river can be stopped! The servant also thought that if the old canal cannot accommodate the current Zhang River It is better to spend a lot of manpower to divert another river to the east of the channel, so that the Zhang River can divert to the sea. Only in this way can the annual flooding of the Yellow River and Huai River be fundamentally controlled!"

After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi felt that it was very reasonable, nodded frequently, smiled and praised Li Guangdi several times, and asked him to investigate carefully and then calculate carefully!Submit it when your royal driver returns!

The emperor was anxious to move forward, to see the situation downstream, and the eighth elder brother hurriedly asked his brother to stay and serve the empress dowager, so that Huang Ama could set off to do business first with peace of mind.

When Kangxi heard this, it fit his heart. He left the eighth elder brother and the two younger elder brothers to accompany the empress dowager. I took the other half of my retinues on the road day and night, and rushed forward to check the embankments of Gaojiayan and Guiren Embankment to the south of the Yellow River. I made an appointment with Ba Age to meet at Qingkou on the 28th!

Sending off Kangxi's ship respectfully at the bow, the eighth elder brother was relieved, and finally had the opportunity to start decorating!
