starling is not a bird

The new year was approaching, and the construction of the Guozijian stopped, and the scholars moved to be on duty in the Shangshu Room with the Imperial Academy. Just as the [-]th birthday of Emperor Kangxi was approaching, the scholars decided to make a "Longevity Without Borders" screen. , Asked the Hanlin Academy to come together to make a book.

Both Jiang Tingxi and He Zhuo were sages whom Kangxi visited among the people during his southern tour in September. They were recommended by Li Guangdi.How could you miss such a grand ceremony?The two went together to find someone.

"Since ancient times, Hanlin has been a place where Yutang can see clearly, and now I can see it clearly, and I am terrified!" Jiang Tingxi looked at the scholars coming and going in the yard, and sighed softly.

He Zhuo straightened his clothes: "That's exactly what I said, next year's exam, you must try again!"

Jiang Tingxi nodded: "Could it be that you and I have received such a kindness, naturally we want to show our strengths and serve the country, otherwise what face will we have for the old people?"

The two were talking lively, but they didn't know that they had been recognized by others. A man in a lotus blue official uniform had already walked over from Qipin, and patted Jiang Tingxi on the shoulder: "Brother Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time."

He Zhuo and Jiang Tingxi saw that it was the newly promoted Imperial Academy who was reviewing Nian Gengyao, and they hurriedly saluted him. Jiang Tingxi entrusted Nian Gengyao with the gift of longevity and boundlessness written by them: "The annual review is hard work!"

Nian Gengyao laughed heartily, "You can just call me Brother Nian, why bother to be so formal?"

Jiang Tingxi had some personal relationships with Nian Gengyao, and his attitude was more intimate: "Brother Nian is not busy preparing for the big festival at this time, why do you have time to joke with us?"

Nian Gengyao sighed: "It's because you are so busy during the festival that you have to take a break, otherwise how can you survive? It's enviable that you are free!"

He Zhuo couldn't understand these words, but Jiang Tingxi understood: "You are Manchu, so you are different from us. We would like to have a master we can rely on, but we are not so lucky. You are still here to get cheap and act like a good boy!"

Nian Gengyao originally wanted to come here. He was born in the old mansion of Sibeile, and he had always been favored by Sibeile. It was Sibeile who begged for the review from the Imperial Academy on his body.Ever since Kangxi took in a few candidates from the inner court during his southern tour, Sibeile has been looking for opportunities to win them over.

It was nothing more than wanting to bury his eyes and ears around the emperor. Nian Gengyao didn't want to do such a thing. He was also a serious student. What an honor to be a Jinshi among the Manchus?It's just that without Sibei Le's recommendation, I have a well-behaved qualifications in the Imperial Academy, so I may not be unable to pay homage to the prime minister, so why bother to do this kind of flattery?

But Dai Duo in the Sibeile Mansion is the most insidious and scheming person, he fails in many trials and tries to provoke his master to find a future for him all day long, if he doesn't do this kind of thing, Dai Duo will definitely do it.When the time comes for him to gain power, it won't be good for an unsightly minion like himself to be cleaned up by Sibeile.

Nian Gengyao let the two inner court officials into his office room, a small open room filled with classics and books: "Yesterday I went to Sibeile's mansion to pay my respects, and the master mentioned you and said yes I had a good conversation with you on the southern tour, and I miss you very much. He also said that I am full of stereotypes, and I can’t compare to your full of poetry and books. My master often accumulates some problems in reading, and I don’t know who to ask for advice. It’s better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Let’s meet together later How about going to sit at Sibeile's house?"

The two inner court officials all knew Si Baylor. On the way back from the southern tour, Si Baylor was taken care of by Si Baylor. Si Baylor was a man of few words and dignified. How can I brush off his kindness?

The two hurriedly agreed, and Nian Gengyao took the opportunity to ask them to invite Wang Hao, who was also a member of the inner court, Jiang Tingxi agreed, and they left after making an appointment to meet at Shenwumen.

Speaking of which, Wang Hao is the oldest among the three, and has the deepest qualifications in the inner court. Both He Zhuo and Jiang Tingxi are willing to establish a good relationship.Wang Hao is good at meticulous painting of flowers, and Jiang Tingxi's flowers and birds are even better, but the two are not close, Jiang Tingxi has a heart, but Wang Hao has never been lukewarm, but he has more affection for He Zhuo. Jiang Tingxi likes to push He Zhuo to deal with things.

This is the case again today. It was Nian Gengyao who Jiang Tingxi promised. When he came to Wang Hao's door, Jiang Tingxi stopped walking, looked at He Zhuo with a smile, and started to turn: "I am enjoying the snow in the yard. Slow down!" Take it easy, I'm not in a hurry!"

He Zhuo couldn't help but get angry: "I shouldn't be in a hurry, you promised to go yourself!"

Jiang Tingxi looked at the sky and said leisurely: "Oh, the world is getting worse and people's hearts are not old."

He Zhuo rolled his eyes and said, "What are you talking about!"

Jiang Tingxi didn't look at him, and continued to look at the sky: "Back then, I was forced to sell paintings to support you. My good brother called me so many times. Now I am capable, and I am an important minister of the emperor, but it is convenient for you to say a few words. If you are willing to do it, this is not called ungrateful, then there is no such thing as ungrateful in this world!"

He Zhuo's face flushed: "If you help, you can help. Who said that you can't help? Do you want to pretend to be pitiful every time? If you don't know, just pretend that I am sorry for you!"

: "You've been sorry to me, I'm your benefactor, you don't need me to tell you, you should do everything right? You must ask me to ask you!"

Jiang Tingxi waited for He Zhuo dissatisfied, and leaned into his ear: "We are close ministers of the emperor, but now that the emperor is old, do you really regard him as a lifelong dependant for a prince like him? It is difficult to ask for a whole body with him, and now four Beleken wins over, why don't you catch up?"

He Zhuo lowered his head speechlessly, and said in a low voice, "Got it, don't worry, I'm going, right?"

Jiang Tingxi squeezed He Zhuo's shoulder: "That's right, thicker skin, it's fine!"

He Zhuo was pushed into Wang Hao's study room. Wang Hao was smearing bright red peonies with a brush. He Zhuo didn't dare to disturb him, so he quietly stood aside.

After waiting for a cup of tea, Wang Hao had finished sketching the tiny details on the peony branches. He put down the pen, and the boy took it to wash off the color, and handed him another bowl of tea. Wang Hao saw He Zhuo this time.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong?" Wang Hao's sideburns are dotted with white hair, coupled with his stern expression, how can he look like a person with flowers and plants in his brush?

He Zhuo smiled, and stepped forward to smooth the corners of the Xuelang paper himself. Before he could think of a word, Wang Hao spoke again: "If you have something to say, don't beat around the bush. If I can do it, I won't shirk it. It’s useless to say more if you don’t want to.”

"I just went to the Hanlin Academy to deliver the papers. I met Nian Gengyao, who was criticizing him. He invited us to give lectures at the Sibeile Mansion." Seeing that his intentions were exposed, He Zhuo directly explained the purpose of coming without any excuse.

Wang Hao looked at him for a long time, with some disdain in his eyes, and snorted coldly: "No."

Knowing that persuasion was useless, He Zhuo touched his nose, saluted shallowly, and left.

Jiang Tingxi looked at the embarrassed He Zhuo, and smiled happily: "So you also hit a wall in front of him?"

He Zhuo glared at him, didn't speak, and walked in front of him a few steps. Jiang Tingxi followed slowly with a smile, and the snow creaked under his feet.

The meeting at night was naturally a success. The host wanted to make friends, the companion was flattering, and the guest was knowledgeable and interesting. Both felt that it was too late to meet.

Kangxi's Pentecostal birthday came in the anticipation of everyone, some were looking forward to amnesty, some were looking forward to promotion, the academicians entered the screen of "Longevity without bounds", Kangxi smiled and returned the screen.

The princes also gave birthday presents, which were nothing more than rich and idle things, so what's the point?The gifts from the feudal kingdoms were both good and bad, but only a piano given by the Holy See won Kangxi's heart. Facing the princes, Kangxi also played a live song to cheer up the fun, which won a lot of applause.

And Wang Hao's "The First Fragrance in the World" was Kangxi's favorite, he personally wrote the inscription on it, had it framed and hung it in the study day and night, making everyone envious.

Kangxi's birthday, the eighth elder brother, didn't take it to heart at all. What he was worried about was Prince Yu. He remembered that in his last life, Prince Yu contracted the epidemic in May of this year, and died soon after.

They asked Ye Tianshi from Jiangnan to be invited back again. Mr. Xue was getting old and impatient with driving and horses, so he sent a personal disciple to Beijing, which was satisfying.

Sending people to Prince Yu's mansion, after drinking a cup of tea, Brother Ba walked away, and Prince Yu Fu Jin was moved a lot, and said to the husband: "My nephew, Brother Ba, is more beautiful than our own son. Be more reliable, I am really close to you!"

Prince Yu twirled his beard very proudly: "Originally, why don't you feel sorry for your white jade Guanyin now?"

Prince Yu Fu Jin blushed: "I don't care about things, but I originally wanted to keep them for my daughter-in-law. If you insist on giving them to others, I will naturally not obey you!"

: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. The eighth elder brother is so sensible. How close you are to him is also our attitude. Look at the sons of the emperor. Which one is like him who really treats relatives as relatives? We will suffer in the future What! Don’t talk about children and grandchildren!” Prince Yu was furious when he thought about it.

Prince Yu Fujin bit his lips, and said hesitantly: "It may not be so, I think the prince is also a good person, every time I enter the palace, I see the princess, you are very polite!"

Prince Yu snorted heavily: "What does a woman know?"

After stopping for a long time, the handkerchief in Prince Yu Fujin's hand was about to wring flowers, and Prince Yu said: "Our knees are desolate, and several elder brothers have not saved it. Baotai is fine, but Baoshou Baoyong is sick." I'm sick, I will go in the future, the emperor will go, he doesn't even have a sibling to support me. The prince has always been at odds with me, and I'm afraid that Baotai will suffer in the future. You are a woman, and you don't want to think too much about everything. Don't worry about it anymore, who will the children entrust to?"

Prince Yu Fujin was stunned, and it took a long time before he said: "Where is it so bad as you said? Isn't Baocheng your nephew?"

Prince Yu stared at Fujin himself, but did not make a sound, and Fujin lowered his head: "I understand what the prince means, and I will definitely treat Eighth Brother well in the future."

: "The emperor has so many sons, and he is the only one who is nostalgic and has a heart. I want to be nice to others, but who do you think you like? It's the king of Zhijun. Why did you ever treat me as a human being?" Prince Yu was tired He closed his eyes, feeling powerless all over.

Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Kangxi was about to go on a tour to the south. Before leaving the palace, before leaving the palace, a small incident happened. The punishment went to the Huanyi Bureau, and was spotted by the servant of the Huanyi Bureau.However, this little maid originally married a servant in the household, and that servant was in the palace of the Concubine De, and the two servants started a fight with jealousy and accidentally injured the maid under the Empress Dowager, and the matter was handed over to the Concubine Yi on processing.

Concubine Yi is an obedient girl, how could she make such a move?After complaining to the Empress Dowager, she brought Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui to deal with it together, but in the end, she also brought out Ding Concubine's servant who was the god-brother of the palace lady.

Pulling up the gourd and pressing down the ladle, seeing that the matter is serious, the combination of several concubines can't make the emperor feel that there is no one in the harem!It doesn't matter who has face and who has no face, they will be killed together, and everyone in the palace will feel a little bit insecure for a while.

The emperor toured the south, and he brought the crown prince with Si Bei Le and the thirteen elder brothers. It is just right to put the real power next to the crown prince.

But those nobles who love to think about it don't look at it that way. The imperial concubine and the concubine are good, and the thirteenth elder brother also sacrificed to Mount Tai on his behalf. Could it be that the crown prince's position is unstable?

Even the people around the two princes began to move around. There were not many old departments in the fourth elder brother's mansion. Fortunately, the gate of Baylor's mansion was open. The thirteenth elder brother hadn't divided the mansion yet, and many new guests and staff were cast. Even the income from the mansion is self-supplied, I just ask Brother Thirteen to take him in!

The water waves of the Yellow River beat the waves, the ice-skinned river surface turned over ice slag, the sheepskin raft slid and slid far away, the sound in the cold wind was crisp and raw, the excitement of the Lantern Festival was only last night, the [-]th, The southern tour begins.

This time the king of Zhijun is sitting in the capital, and the eighth elder brother simply said that he was sick and did not go out. Because of the king of Zhijun and Sanbeile Jiugu, he tried his best to take up some idle errands. When he was free, he went to look for Prince Yu , From time to time, I go to the Imperial College for a stroll, but I never sit down for a long time.

This day, the eighth elder brother wandered around the Imperial College again, met Jiang Tingxi and He Zhuo, looked at his old friends, the eighth elder brother just nodded, his handwriting has improved a lot in this life, and he probably won’t send He Zhuo to the mansion again Are you here?Only this time, if someone framed him again, how could he protect him?

Jiang Tingxi and He Zhuo were also very friendly when they met the eighth elder brother. The eighth elder brother made a few false promises and was about to leave, but Jiang Tingxi strongly invited him to watch Wang Hao's painting.

What Wang Hao painted this time was not peonies, but cold cliffs and green orchids. Wang Juren has great skill."

When Wang Hao saw the eighth elder brother, he saluted without hesitation, but the eighth elder brother didn't take it seriously: "I still like this orchid, the peony is too gorgeous."

Wang Hao raised his eyes: "What Baylor said is true."

The others were a little nervous, but the eighth elder brother smiled and said softly: "It's Xiao Wang's fault, I shouldn't disturb your interest, come to ask for advice another day!"

Jiang Tingxi originally wanted to please the eighth elder brother, but was beaten back by Wang Hao's attitude. He secretly hated this person for being unsophisticated. It's better to stay away.

Wang Hao put down the pen, sent the eighth elder brother to the door and then retreated to continue painting. Jiang Tingxi pulled He Zhuo, wishing to send the eighth elder brother to the palace before giving up.

The eighth brother went back with a smile all the way, passed by the East Street, and bought a few jars of good wine to reward the guards around him, just met the fifth elder brother who was out for a stroll, the two brothers went to the restaurant hand in hand, quite happy.

Kangxi and his entourage arrived in Jinan quickly, and stayed overnight at Huangshan Store, Changqing County on the 25th. There was a strong wind at night, and Nancun caught fire!The flames are burning, and the flames are spreading.
