starling is not a bird

During the New Year's Eve, A Ling'a specially asked his wife to take her daughter back and walk around. Seeing her daughter's face full of spring, A Ling'a's wife was very satisfied, and she held hands and said many heartfelt words. Only then was he willing to let people come in and serve him.

The eighth elder brother was talking with Ah Ling'a outside. There was a fire dragon burning in the hall, and the eighth elder brother only felt a little uncomfortable walking up the steaming heat. He put down the glutinous rice balls in his hand. I don't really want to eat anything at the moment.

"Let the old slave be presumptuous for a while, but I don't know if there is something missing in the master's house?" Aling Ah has just received filial respect, and he is eager to favor his four relatives, and pull the tiger's skin to play the banner.

The eighth elder brother couldn't think of what A Ling'a meant for a while, so he could only answer vaguely: "The things in the house are handled by the stewards, so why should the master worry about it?"

Hearing these words, Ah Ling'a didn't refuse, and his heart became even hotter: "Governor Wu Cunli of Jiangning is an honest man with a serious background. He is really willing to do things outside these years, and new gadgets are sent every year. The old slave thinks So, although the master has a small population and the expenses are not high, but seeing that the master is getting more and more valued by the emperor day by day, why not spend money? Some things, received from him, should only be regarded as the master's grace, and given the opportunity to do his best Already!"

Jiangning Governor Wu Cunli?This name is quite impressive!Several 10 taels of silver were sent to the capital, each palace, and ministers, if one person does not pull, one does not have a lot!It's all the fat and ointment of the people swallowed, and the flesh and blood of the people squeezed out!

Slightly lowering his head, Eighth Brother did not look into A Ling'a's eyes: "It's not my turn here, let's talk about it later!"

Ah Ling touched a soft nail, but she also knew that she should push it away, so she hurriedly discounted haha ​​and invited Eighth Brother to the table, the prepared table is for entertainment!At the dinner table, neither Weng nor son-in-law mentioned the spoiling topic just now.

Back at his mansion in the evening, Eighth Brother went into the study alone, he had to take care of the situation, it was a new year, why should there be some new atmosphere!

Before the end of the first month, Kangxi got up to inspect the Yongding River. In the biting cold wind, Kangxi finally nodded with satisfaction, and the stone in Li Guangdi's heart fell to the ground.

The opportunity he had been looking forward to for a long time finally came. Li Guangdi kept encouraging himself in his heart. He must not make the slightest mistake. He had lost once, so he could not make a second mistake!Chen Menglei has already won the favor of Sanbeile, and has attracted many people in the capital. He is digging the river by himself, just to return to the capital and the eyes of the emperor. How can he make a mistake at this time?

Every issue of the post newspaper, Li Guangdi read and reread it again and again, breaking each one apart and analyzing them in pieces, lest he miss every thought of the emperor, and Li Guangdi saw the most troublesome things in the current court. Seeing how much the emperor loved the throne, he hated factional struggles.

So the ledger that had been properly kept by Li Guangdi was finally handed over.

It was a new world for the imperial court. After leaving the old people, there were naturally many new people. When they met each other, their faces were either lucky or arrogant, and the purple and red robes on their bodies were brand new in the sun.

In the end, Longkodo still let his concubine Li Si'er do his best at home, even moved his original wife and his own cousin to a side courtyard, and let Li Si'er be the master of the house, even his own The eldest son was almost kicked out by Longkodo. Fortunately, the elders in the family were still there. Longkodo's old mother hugged her daughter-in-law and refused to let go. She threatened to go to the infantry commander to sue Longkodo for disobedience. It only slightly extinguished the fire in Longkodo's heart.

And the money from the governor of Jiangning was naturally sent to Tong Jia's various mansions. Li Si'er was not of high birth, and liked yellow and white things the most. Future generations care about.

In February, Li Guangdi was transferred back to the capital, and the first report in Beijing shocked the court again: "All the officials at all levels in the court, big and small, embezzled and embezzled public funds at will, and it became common practice to embezzle food and rice, all because of the emperor's kindness. , the law is easy to offend, and greed is hard to satisfy!"

: "Legislation should be made to clear up the long-standing malpractices, strictly check the treasury and various expenditures, and punish those who commit crimes."

: "In the future, if local officials transfer more than 5000 taels of silver or more than [-] shi of grain and rice, no matter they have not been dismissed, they still plan to fill their ranks. They are not allowed to redeem, and even if they are favored, they are not allowed to reduce or exempt. And the warehouse is more careful.”

So Zimang changed his prison uniform, and the Great Seal changed its owner, and the academic officers in the prison had to die. How could they not die to calm the hearts of the world, and how could they not die to show the emperor's virtue?A little bit of crying, to the ears of the superiors, is just a little noise outside the misty rain and willows, so why should it be worth paying attention to?

Li Guangdi was praised by the emperor again. Chen Menglei in the deep pavilion shook his pen, drew a few strokes in the void, and then started to work hard again.

During the routine spring hunting activities, apart from being happy for the progress of the nine elder brothers and ten elder brothers, the emperor gave more attention to his young sons!Both the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother are outstanding on horseback, not inferior to their elder brothers in the slightest, and even better.

So the thirteenth elder brother got Yu Ruyi, the fourteenth elder brother got the gold silk purse, the older elder brother gave up the honor and warmth to the younger brother empty-handed, only the tenth elder brother tried to shrink himself a little bit, even smaller Some.

Within a few days, a new joke reached the emperor's ears. The emperor specially called Brother Jiu in and asked carefully, "Brother Jiu, did you take Brother Ten to Xishan to play?"

Brother Jiu looked at the emperor vigilantly, and said in a tight tone, "It's just that the sons went to relax, how did they alarm Huang Ama?"

Kangxi smiled and said: "It's not a shock, it's just that I've heard about how capable my son is, and it's just a big comfort to my old man!"

Brother Jiu snorted through his nose: "Huang Ama, there must be someone deliberately deceiving the emperor, you have to severely punish him!"

Kangxi laughed even deeper: "Oh, what's going on? I've heard that you and Elder Brother Shi came out on top, what a sight!"

Brother Jiu simply stepped forward to make the anger on his face clearer: "Huang Ama, my son always thinks you are a loving father, but my son thinks other people's Ama is more than just a loving father?"

On the west mountain that day, those who were threatened, lured or tricked by the ninth elder brother were all the sons of the clan. The yellow sheep and wild rabbits all over the mountain will fight to the death!By the way, leave the big prey to Elder Brother Ten and let him have fun!

But a good story, with a good beginning, must have a bad ending in order to be considered fair, so it is not the chasing yellow sheep and hare that is chasing all over the mountains and plains, but the one that is jolted off the horse The clan disciples; and the arrows rustling like the wind not only covered the sun, but also missed the robes; the activities carefully planned by the nine elder brothers became a joke under the true performance of the clan disciples, and the trip to the west mountain was also a joke. After the return journey with a bruised nose and a swollen face, it became a joke in the whole capital.As the host of this event, Brother Jiu is very depressed. The only thing that can comfort Brother Jiu is the expression of Brother Ten who was so surprised that he could swallow ten eggs raw. At least, he successfully entertained It's my younger brother, isn't it?

Brother Jiu's indignation successfully aroused Kangxi's thinking. As a generation of Mingjun, the direction of his thinking is obviously not the common problem of his son losing his face. So, who should rely on to protect the country of the Qing Dynasty?

So A Ling'a, the minister of the guards, has a new task, taking Fei Yanggu and Isang'a together to test the riding and shooting of the clan's children, and those who fail will be awarded the title or fined!

For a while, the Eight Banners disciples in the capital were full of complaints. They took their bows and arrows and went to Xishan to practice martial arts every day. However, the yellow sheep and hares in Xishan finally ushered in the first major crisis in their lives.

It is said that sharpening a gun in front of the battle is not fast, but this sentence is of course wrong, especially when the examiner himself is relatively expert, so the ashen-faced Kangxi once again saw the lower limit of shamelessness, which does not exist in some people. !Looking back at his son, Kangxi felt inexplicable pride again, no matter what, at least my son is good!

The third elder brother and the eldest elder brother stood with their hands folded. They have passed the age of competing for the emperor's attention on the hunting ground. Now, it is the turn of the younger brothers to fight for this. Look at the fourteenth elder brother who is full of pride. Brother, the thirteenth elder brother who showed off secretly, even the crown prince tolerated their showing off.

After Mingzhu recovered for the second time, her movements obviously restrained a lot, but Suo'etu was still Mingzhu's confidant, the centipede was dead but not stiff, let alone Suo'etu standing behind the prince?Mingzhu's determination is even worse, not only for the honor of the family, but also for her own safety.

No one in Tong Jia's family likes Suo'etu, and regardless of whether Tong Guowei was dragged to death by Suo'etu on the battlefield, the two sides have already formed a blood feud.

There are so many Tong Jia's in the palace, from the empress to the noble concubine to the concubine, the emperor's favor has always been a lot, and none of them is pregnant with a dragon seed. How does this make Tong Jia's heart feel?

All the girls sent in are healthy and healthy, and the emperor is willing to take care of them, but what about the children?One didn't, it wasn't that none of them gave birth, it was that they didn't even have a chance to conceive!Suo'etu is in charge of the internal affairs and relies on the support of the emperor, so what is he afraid to do?Tong Jia's heart naturally regarded Suo'etu as a roadblock.

Tong Jia's family is not one of the eight major surnames, but it is only thanks to the emperor's favor that it has become prominent today, but the emperor will eventually grow old, and the new emperor has his own confidants, so where will Tong Jia's family be placed? Woolen cloth?

Occasionally in court, they echo each other, and in occasional stories, they complement each other. When no one is paying attention, Mingzhu has already become familiar with many members of Tong Jia's family.

According to Tong Jia's thinking, the elder brother is a popular person in front of the emperor, and he has a rough temper, and he is also an elder brother who has fought in wars. Moreover, the elder brother and Suo'etu are not incompatible with each other, and they must get along with their own family , and began to secretly take care of Dafujin's Yue family.

But Erlundai's bastard just couldn't get along with the elder brother, and met him from time to time, and the two of them didn't have a good word, but Tong Guowei's hair was almost graying.

Elundai is not a filial son, let alone a filial nephew, so Tong Guowei had to force his youngest son, Long Keduo, to support his elder brother, but Long Keduo listened to his father.

After coming and going, the elder brother also waited to see Long Keduo, and occasionally went home and praised his distant cousin, but Da Fujin, who shared the bed, didn't like it at all.

The eighth elder brother has been doing errands with the eldest elder brother recently, and he can always meet Longkoduo when he goes in and out of the house. This person was knocked down into the abyss and left, which relieved the trouble in his heart.
