Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty
Chapter 146
Kangxi and the abandoned prince chatted for a long time in the mourning hall. Although the people outside didn't know what they talked about, after the abandoned prince came out, Kangxi sat alone in the mourning hall for half the night.
If it wasn't because Kangxi was in poor health and couldn't stay up late, Tian Mi had to send someone to remind him several times, and he wouldn't have come out of the mourning hall.
However, at this critical moment, whether it is Kangxi or the deposed prince, their identities are particularly sensitive.
Many people are thinking, will the emperor restore the second elder brother as the prince again?
There are many people who have this idea, and many princes feel uneasy.
After all, it's not a day or two for the old man to be eccentric, and there is really no lower limit for him to be eccentric.
That night, the news spread around the prince, and in the next day, the news spread throughout the capital.Kangxi originally wanted to quietly let the three brothers come to pay homage to the Queen Mother, but he didn't expect that the mourning hall has no secrets at all, and the whole capital already knows it.
And Kangxi also had quite a few eyes and ears in the capital. After hearing the news, he couldn't help but snort coldly. He could figure out who was behind the scenes with his toes.
He said to Tian Mi when he was eating in the morning: "Sometimes some people think that the law does not blame the public, but they don't know that everyone who fails to do one thing will be unlucky."
Tian Mi didn't know what he was talking about, but many of the princes who were serving beside him could understand what it meant.
Because the fourth elder brother was standing among these princes, holding the bowl and handing it to Tian Mi. After hearing this, his hands trembled unconsciously. Tian Mi took the bowl over naturally and picked it up for Kangxi with his chopsticks. A dish with chopsticks.
"Why does my cousin have such an idea? Did someone do something to make you unhappy?"
"What's the matter? Anyway, this group of evildoers have never done anything that makes people feel happy. Instead, they are acting stupid in different ways. It's not a day or two. It's not that you don't know, talk This is boring, let's eat quickly."
There are still many things to do after eating, the most test of human strength is crying spirit.
No matter if they were married women or court ladies, they all wore white filial gowns, with a white velvet flower on their heads, and there was no colored clothes from inside to outside.
After breakfast, Tian Mi brought the concubines of the harem to a fixed place, and when the time came, an eunuch shouted loudly.The concubines of all palaces knelt down on the futon with the support of the maids.
This season is not bad, if it encounters a crying spirit in summer or winter, it will really kill people.
It is very hot in summer, kneeling under the sun, people are dizzy and sweaty from the sun.It is very likely that you will pass out due to heat stroke. In winter, you will be frozen all over your body, and your hands and feet will be cold.
Autumn is a lukewarm season. Tian Mi calculated that even if the funeral had been going on for more than a month, it would be late autumn by then, so it wouldn't be as overwhelming as counting nine cold days.
After crying all morning, Tian Mi realized that she was really old and couldn't support herself, so she reached out to let the maid help her up.After walking a few steps, I found myself feeling dizzy suddenly, and was helped to sit on the seat.
Even though the body can't take it anymore, we still have to persevere in this matter.Tian Mi found that her heart was beating very fast, and her breathing became difficult.
The two daughters of the fourth elder brother's family have grown into big girls. The two sisters came together, and seeing Tian Mi's face, they couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with your mother?"
Tian Mi quickly waved her hands, signaling to the two of them not to talk anymore, in this era, a person's character in terms of filial piety is very important.If a person is not filial, his character may be questionable in the eyes of others.
If Tian Mi shows powerlessness at this time, Kangxi's temper will definitely make Tian Mi go back to rest, but if she starts to rest from the beginning, and Tian Mi does not show up until the end of the matter, then Tian Mi will definitely suffer a lot of criticism in the future , It's like handing over one of your own handles to others. After so many years of hard work, I can't help but go to rest for a while, and it is easy to stain myself with a stain.
So Tian Mi had to hold on.
The people close to Tian Mi knew that her body was beginning to be overwhelmed, and they thought of many ways in private. For example, the futon Tian Mi used was stuffed with something, and it was always warm.The tea I drank every day was replaced by ginseng soup, and the medicine I drank was always scalding hot every time. No matter how big or small the matter was, these slaves could solve it, and if they couldn’t solve it, they reported it to Tian Mi. Honey is more worried.
After a few days, Tian Mi can guess some of these court ladies' thoughts.I don't know if it's because they are old, but Tian Mi was moved by what they did.
The funeral has been going on for a few days, and the nearby Mongolian tribes have rushed over, and the far ones are still on the way, and the various processes in the capital have been operating normally.
Tian Mi can breathe a sigh of relief, as long as she takes good care of herself, she doesn't have to think about other things. As for the funeral, the ministers and the officials of the clan's mansion will discuss it together.
And the Ministry of Internal Affairs went to Yang Dan for everything, and Yang Dan tried his best to finish everything and not let Tian Mi worry about it.
So when Yang Dan came to visit Tian Mi, Tian Mi looked at him very gratified, and couldn't help but take the son's hand and pat it.
"When you were young, I served tea to Erniang for the first time. At that time, Erniang said that raising you is much better than raising a puppy. You were joking at that time, but now Erniang feels that she relies on you everywhere. Sure enough, raising Only at this time can the son's achievements be shown."
"Look at what you said, isn't raising a son just for this day?" Yang Dan sat next to Tian Mi, holding one hand by Tian Mi, and with the other hand, he took a piece of pastry from the table and stuffed it into his mouth.
He said while eating: "I don't know why recently, I always feel that I don't have enough to eat. I obviously ate a lot, but I started to be hungry again after a while."
Seeing his thin face and dark circles under his eyes, Tian Mi couldn't help feeling distressed. "Is it because there are too many things in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that you can't rest well? Look at your face..."
"It has nothing to do with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the main reason is that I have been too busy these days." To worry about the office of the General Secretary, the Office of Internal Affairs, the crying spirit, and welcome and send with the brothers... Busy people often Speaking of dividing one of himself into two, Yang Dan felt that dividing himself into three would not be enough.
People have 12 hours a day, and he himself can't wait for 48 hours a day.Sleeping a little longer is a sin, so Yang Dan is looking forward to going to Jiangnan, and he can sleep until he is full.
But the emperor is already so sad, others dare not be lazy, Yang Dan even has no chance to be lazy.
After eating a piece of dim sum, he picked up another piece and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating, he said to Tian Mi: "My son is fine. After all, he is young and can survive. It's hard to say for Huang Ama. My son looked at his face. His complexion, these two days are different from before, and he ate less. A eunuch in front of the imperial court said that the old man has lost weight in the past two days."
Speaking of Tian Mi, there is nothing she can do, "I persuade him to eat more, but he just can't eat, he has to take care of a lot of things in the court, and after taking care of outside things, he has to go back to the inner palace to guard. It’s not that I said, those Mongols really didn’t wink at all. The emperor was already so tired that they insisted on crying in the mourning hall. Ask them what they want, and the emperor will agree to them if you tell them in front of the queen mother. But this group of people didn't say anything, they just kept crying, and the crying sound was so loud..."
Hearing this, Yang Dan couldn't help but look up at Tian Mi. The root of this problem lies in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.To put it another way, the root cause of this matter lies in Er Niang.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs controls both silk and tea. Silk in the south, cotton in the north, and wool in the north, these things are spun into threads to make silk, satin and woolen cloth, with different thicknesses, different colors, and different prices.A wide variety of silk fabrics were directly sent to Guangzhou, where they were loaded on ships and shipped to Europa by bypassing Nanyang.
Taking a boat trip is rewarding, especially some silks and satins are dyed green, orange and pink. It is said that they are snapped up by foreign devils as soon as they get off the boat and shipped to the French court to make a fortune.In addition to these fabrics, each ship will also carry some tea, whether it is tea or silk, the sales are very good.
For Mongolia, which is eagerly waiting to use tea, the impact will be great. The place where tea can be grown in the south of the Yangtze River is only as big as a palm, and most of them are sold abroad. The tea used in the north is not less, but the quality is better. something different.
Regarding this, the Mongols had a saying a few years ago that they insisted on asking the Ministry of Internal Affairs to explain it.The Ministry of Internal Affairs did not pay much attention to them. So far, these people have not received feedback, so they naturally want to sue the emperor.
But now that the empress dowager has just passed away, this group of people also know that it is not appropriate to file a complaint at this time, so they can only cry, crying sadly and desperately, seeing that the empress dowager was born in Mongolia, the emperor must ask, and wait until the time to ask. These half-confessed words can't be said to be suing the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but can only be said not to dare to deceive the king and to reveal the truth.
Thinking of this, Yang Dan felt that he couldn't sit down anymore, and needed to have a good chat with the emperor about this matter.
He grabbed another piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth, took two sips of tea, washed down the snack in his mouth, and hurriedly stood up: "You sit here and rest, you are already so tired, my son dare not disturb you anymore You, hurry up and recharge your batteries while you have free time, as long as you are in good health, it will be a blessing to my son and fourth brother."
Seeing that he was leaving, Tian Mi didn't know what he was going to do, but Tian Mi thought of Yang Dan's marriage at this moment, grabbed his hand and pulled him back, and asked the maids to retreat and look at the door.Whispered to Yang Dan: "You are really unlucky, child. You just got out of your Ama's filial piety, and you ran into the Empress Dowager's affair. Tell Er Niang honestly, you..."
Yang Dan really didn't think so, he was not one of those bachelors who thought about marrying a wife every day.
Hearing Tian Mi say this, she stood up and left. When she left, she yelled, "Sit down and rest. I will tell you about this when my son is free. My son is going to do other things first. There is no rush for this matter." .”
Seeing him running away as if fleeing, Tian Mi couldn't help but pat the table next to her, thinking in her heart that this stinky boy is not young, if he doesn't marry a wife now, what will he do in the future?
In the future, his children will already know how to make soy sauce. Maybe he just married a wife.
It's fine if he is willing to marry a wife, Tian Mi is still wondering if he has some hobbies.
Yang Dan ran out from Tian Mi in embarrassment, and hurriedly went to the Qianqing Palace to find Kangxi. Kangxi had just returned to the Qianqing Palace and was dealing with matters. Soon I saw Kangxi who was revising the memorial.
After he told his discovery and inference, he couldn't help but look up at the emperor who was writing on the memorial.
"Huang Ama, my son thinks that they may have resentment, why don't we ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give them some good tea."
"Your mother-in-law is in charge of the affairs of the House of Internal Affairs. You don't need to discuss it with me. You mother and son can figure it out." Having said that, Kangxi paused for a moment, and put away the ink brush in his hand.He stood up and stretched out his hand, Yang Dan quickly took a step forward, supported his arm and went down the steps.
Kangxi walked and said to Yang Dan beside him: "You are much stronger than your brothers. Those evil people, who only focus on the big ones, have become short-sighted. The situation in Mongolia is changing every day. Similarly, some people think that they are the descendants of Genghis Khan, the blood of the golden family, and they don’t see us Manchus in their eyes.”
"Who is so bold?"
"Who else could it be? If these people were more honest, I wouldn't have personally marched three times. Now that so many years have passed, and I am old, it is undoubtedly a dream come true .”
After finishing speaking, Kangxi sighed and sat down, took tea from the hand of the maid, and motioned Yang Dan to sit down too. "In two or three years, we will use our troops again, so you treat them well at this time, and they don't know our painstaking efforts. They are purely winking and throwing them to the blind. Instead, they think we are weak and can be bullied, but at this time, we must treat you well. It’s fine for them, let them relax their vigilance first.”
Yang Dan couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Although he is the honor of the county king, his family knows his family affairs, and he is very clear about how he got the title of county king. , plus it was raised by Er Niang, the combination of the two makes the emperor look at him higher than other people. After all, it is not a proper way to get the title, how can Enfeng be compared to military merit.Yang Dan is very eager to be those who have won the title on horseback.
He tentatively asked, "Huang Ama, you see that your son is now strong and strong, and he hasn't let up his horsepower over the years. Can he lead a team to play forward?"
Kangxi took a look at Yang Dan while holding the teacup, and couldn't help but smile, "I'm very happy that you think so, but swords have no eyes, what if I hurt you then? And your status is too high to be a Forward, plus you are young and haven’t played before, you are inexperienced, so you should stay in the capital and don’t go anywhere.”
Yang Dan felt disappointed after hearing this, and wanted to try harder, "Maybe my son is talented in this area, how can you show your son's ability if you don't let him go through a past experience?"
"You are quite capable now, just take care of these things in your hands." Kangxi looked up and down at Yang Dan, and seeing Yang Dan sitting opposite him full of vigor, he couldn't help it Satisfied in his heart, what he said just now is correct, Yang Dan is really capable, and now the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Secretary of General Administration are handled quite well in his hands.It can be seen that Yang Dan has a few brushes in internal affairs. As for marching and fighting, Kangxi didn't want Zhao Kuo's paper talk to happen to Yang Dan again.
"It's not easy to raise you up so big. What if something happens to you and I and your empress mother will do it? Don't think so much, just do your current job well. If you are really filial, fuck you more." Er Niang walked over to her, she kept nagging about you not having a wife every day. When the incident with the Queen Mother is over, you should take it to heart."
Unexpectedly, when he came to Qianqing Palace, he was still urged to marry. Yang Dan agreed listlessly, feeling that it would be useless for him to sit down, and then stood up to say goodbye, wanting to leave.
Kangxi waved his hand to make him retreat.
When Yang Dan came out, he happened to meet Lao Qi in front of the Qianqing Palace. Yang Dan lowered his head and didn't see Lao Qi approaching. The two walked to meet each other, and Lao Qi stretched out his hand to fix Yang Dan's shoulder.
"What's wrong with Yang Dan? Why is he downcast? Was he scolded by Huang Ama?"
Yang Dan looked up, and quickly apologized: "I blame my younger brother for not having long eyes and blocking the way of Seventh Brother, are you going to see Huang Ama?"
Lao Qi nodded, "Yes, I have to listen to orders, so my brother won't talk to you. Time is running out, so I'll go in now."
Yang Dan turned around and watched Lao Qi enter the main hall, thinking in his heart that Huang Ama and Qi Ge were probably negotiating the use of Mongolian troops, and he was so envious that he was dying, but he couldn't go, so he could only sigh again. The mourners left.
Yang Dan was right, Lao Qi came here to listen to orders because he wanted to listen to Kangxi's order to arrange troops.
Kangxi had already sat back in front of the table, and took out a book from a pile of booklets, "The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass are going first. This is the grain and grass stock in Shaanxi and Gansu. You can take a look first."
Yang Dan continued to walk out, and when he was out of the range of Qianqing Palace, he saw his little eunuch running over quickly to report, "Master, I have found you, let's go and see Lord Eleven, Lord Eleven is ill." .
Regardless of the high nutrition and good nutrition of eleven children, they can usually plan a bowl or two of rice, but whenever the seasons change, they are sickly.
Now it's time to change seasons, and with the addition of the empress dowager's funeral, the eleven fell down without accident.
This time the illness was severe, even though Concubine Yi had this mental preparation in her heart, seeing her son suddenly collapsed with her own eyes, anyone felt so sad that she couldn't help herself, and she was crying like a tearful man.
When Yang Dan ran over, Concubine Yi was sitting by the bed and scolding: "I have raised you for so many years, your health has never been better, I never thought about your blessings, but your brother and I worry about you every day... ..."
Lao Jiu couldn't help but say to her: "He's fine now, why are you scolding here? Does he want this? He doesn't want this either. You have the energy to scold people here, why don't you think of a way to make up for him."
When Concubine Yi heard this, little bastard, you've gone out of your way, dare to talk back to my old lady here.
I couldn't help but frowned with anger, "I said to him, he didn't talk back, what are you talking about here, don't think you are a good person, I tell you that you are full of problems, I feel upset when I see you... ..."
Lao Jiu became angry at this time, "No matter how many problems you have, you were born. You shouldn't have given birth to me in the first place!"
Concubine Yi was just swearing just to cover up her fear in fear, but now she was really pissed off by Lao Jiu.She pointed at Lao Jiu and her fingers were shaking.
Seeing that Er Niang became like this, Lao Wu took a step forward and slapped Lao Jiu on the back of the head, "Kneel down, how can you talk to Er Niang like this?"
He slapped Lao Jiu's unpreparedness, and plopped in front of Concubine Yi. He turned his head and wanted to say Lao Wu, but Lao Wu swayed and fainted.
This time Concubine Yi was really scared. Eleven, who was paralyzed on the bed, sat up quickly in fright. She was too anxious to get out of bed without throwing off the quilt, and fell off the bed onto the footrest.
Lao Jiu had already crawled to Lao Wu's side with cold hands and feet, Yang Dan also rushed in, Lao Wu fell into the arms of the eunuch, Lao Jiu ran over to pinch Lao Wu's people, and yelled at Yang Dan. Dan, "you pinch his tiger's mouth, pinch hard."
However, no matter how hard the two pinched, it didn't work, Eleven asked Lao Jiu to push Lao Wu's chest. "Quick, hit his chest three times, only three times, no more."
Yang Dan hurriedly took Lao Wu out of the eunuch's arms and spread it flat on the ground, and Lao Jiu ran over and hammered Lao Wu's chest hard three times.
After these three beatings, Lao Wu let out a sigh of relief, and his eyelids slowly opened.
Concubine Yi burst into tears at this time, "Old Fifth, Er Niang's Yin, if you have any problems, what will you ask Er Niang to do?"
Lao Jiu couldn't help but said to her: "He's fine, don't cry and get over with him. Aren't you afraid of bad luck?"
Concubine Yi quickly shut up, and Yang Dan said: "Let Fifth Brother go back and take a good rest, I can't hide what happened today, Brother Ninth will talk to Huang Ama with me later, He can't take it anymore like this."
Lao Jiu nodded, first asked the eunuch to carry Eleven to the bed, then found a place to put Lao Wu, and finally told Concubine Yi to go to Qianqing Palace with Yang Dan.
At this time, Lao Qi was still discussing with Kangxi about the use of troops. Hearing that Lao Wu had passed out, the father and son couldn't help but look at each other.
Kangxi let Lao Jiu and Yang Dan go down, and asked Lao Wu to reward Lao Wu again, and then picked up a pen and scratched Lao Wu's name on the paper.
"When I went to the imperial conquest, I got rid of your eldest brother, and only your third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother and you followed me to the battlefield. Now your eldest brother, second brother and eighth brother have been imprisoned, and it is impossible to send them away. Let the three out, your third brother can't even climb a horse like that, don't expect him to be able to gallop on the battlefield, your fourth brother has never been very good at horseback, this matter falls to you and On your fifth brother, but now that your fifth brother has become like this again, I am afraid that you are the only one left to take the lead."
Lao Sanri is fat, and he always rides a carriage when he goes out, and he can no longer climb on the back of a horse.It has been so many years since the fourth child, and there are still jokes about him being four-strength and half-strength and shooting arrows off the target.
These two sons are already useless, but fortunately, when the time comes to prepare food and grass in the capital, they can count on the two of them.
Lao Wu has always been generous and gentle, and has a good relationship with Lao Qi.The two brothers went to the battlefield together, and there was no such thing as internal strife.In Kangxi's original vision, it was for the two brothers to complement each other.But now that the fifth child is like this, he can't go to the battlefield.
It is true that the fifth child became like this because of being tired of keeping filial piety, but after arriving on the battlefield, the situation is more dangerous than this.
So only Lao Qi could lead the troops to go out alone. Lao Qi didn't show any fear about this matter, but instead had a kind of pride in it.
When none of his brothers could play, he was able to turn the tide, and he could definitely elevate his status in the heart of the emperor. Although he was lame and could not be the emperor, but with this victory, he and The status of descendants in the royal family is already unshakable.
Kangxi thought for a while, since only the seventh son among his own sons can fight, why not bring King Ping with him, "Let King Ping assist you then."
When Lao Qi heard this, he had no fear of King Ping. King Ping was in a lower grade, well-behaved and obedient, and capable. There could be more such characters.
After discussing it, he withdrew from Qianqing Palace and went to talk to King Ping.
Half a month after the funeral, Kangxi really fulfilled his wish of concluding his filial piety. It was already autumn and there was dew.
Kangxi has even chosen the place where he will marry. Once he has made a decision, no one else can go against it.Just after he determined a good place, he asked someone to find a clean thatch for him.
At this time, the autumn wheat had just been harvested, and the stalks were soft and clean. The eunuch pulled a cart and spread them in the shed.
It's not just a show, they really want to live in a shed and sleep on the straw.Moreover, he also added a deadline to his ascetic, ordinary life.
At that time, all the princes and grandchildren were dumbfounded, Shiba was even sent by his brothers to ask Tian Mi to persuade him.
Just after Tian Mi passed by, seeing that he had already rolled out the stall, she couldn't help sighing, "It is said that women sing and husbands follow suit, since my cousin has prepared the place, I will stay there with you Bar."
The fourth elder brother was dumbfounded at the time, Huang Ama hadn't been pulled out of the shed yet, Er Niang was going to live in again, what should he do?
Kangxi felt that Tian Mi was messing around, "You have never suffered such a crime in your life, and you are not in good health, can you continue to toss like this? Go back to your Chengqian Palace."
Tian Mi asked rhetorically, "When the dew falls at night and your body is wet, what if it makes you sick again?"
"Then you have to bring me a quilt. It doesn't have to be too good, just cotton."
Even the quilt made of cotton cloth is also top-quality Songjiang fine cotton with new cotton, which is suitable for thickness and comfortable to cover.
Tian Mi saw that he had really made up his mind, so she didn't persuade him so much, and asked the family to bring the quilt and spread a thin mattress underneath.
This time, the princes lined up to watch over him. There was no reason why the old man ate bran and swallowed vegetables and slept on haystacks, and the sons slept on high beds and soft beds.
Those who accompanied Kangxi on the first day were the third and fourth children. After the father and son returned from the mourning hall, Kangxi shook off his quilt, took off his clothes after washing, and lay down directly.
Here, the two brothers also learned from each other. There is only one haystack on the ground, so the father and son are squeezed together.
The third child and the fourth child have mixed feelings in their hearts. When they were young, they naturally longed for the emperor's attention, but the old man was particularly partial back then.
At that time, it was impossible to desire to be closer to the emperor's father.
Now that I'm older, I don't think so much anymore, but my old dream suddenly came true.It can only be said that life is too unexpected sometimes.
But Kangxi's heart was as calm as water, and he didn't have any opinion on the fact that his two sons couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.It's just that after he slept until midnight, he suddenly felt a little thirsty, so he couldn't help kicking the third child.
"Get up and bring me a glass of water."
The third child was shocked by the kick, and sat up quickly, but his body was too weak, there was still a pile of fat on his stomach, his waist and abdomen were weak, and the pile of straw was soft, so he didn't sit up after sitting for two times. He kept shaking while propping up his upper body.
Kangxi directly expressed dissatisfaction, "You haven't sat up for a long time! Don't go, you go, fourth child."
The fourth child threw off the quilt and sat up, put on his shoes and went to bring water, the third child lay down again in shame.
He defended himself: "My son has been too fat for a while and neglected to exercise."
However, Kangxi discriminated against the fat man, and directly snorted to express his disbelief. "Turn over and see how deep the grass pit is under you."
In fact, the third child was still a little dissatisfied. He turned over quietly, because the haystack was made of fresh straw, which was too soft, and he sank into it.
On the surface, the third child didn't move, but in fact, the third child was embarrassed.
At this time, the fourth elder brother came over with water. He held the cup in one hand and supported Kangxi with the other: "Huang Ama, drink water."
Kangxi rinsed his mouth first, drank the water, lay down and fell asleep slowly.
After the fourth elder brother lay down, he heard the movement of the third child next door. The third child tried his best to prop himself up, and kept winking at the fourth child under the light.
This brother usually makes too many moths, the fourth elder brother doesn't intend to pick up on him, so he just pretends he didn't hear it, closes his eyes to rest his mind, and falls asleep after a while.
The next day the eunuchs came in to help them get dressed. After the third child was helped up by the eunuchs, he looked back at the place where he had been lying. He had indeed sunk into a big pit, deeper than the other two.
Looking up at Kangxi and the fourth child again, the two had already left the shed. The third child quickly kicked his eunuch, "Hurry up, get some grass and fill it in, do you want people to think that your master is just a man?" Fatty?"
The eunuch felt baffled, but hurriedly grabbed a handful of straws and filled them in the human-shaped pit.
The third child now doesn't pay attention to other things, but pays attention to how these brothers behave when they accompany the emperor every day.
Lao Wu and Lao Qi accompanied him all night, serving tea and pouring water was done by Lao Qi, even though Lao Qi had a leg problem, but he did everything neatly.So the old man was full of praise for Lao Qi, and he was also quite kind to Lao Wu.
Then came Lao Jiu and Lao Ten. It is said that these two bears were scolded the next day because Lao Shi didn't sleep well and kicked the old man at night.After being kicked awake, the old man who was not at a disadvantage kicked him four or five times. The old ten felt wronged and had no place to reason when he was scolded.
Eleven is sick and does not exclude him, thirteen and twelve are on the round, but twelve is too boring. Thirteen and the old man, who have not talked to the emperor alone for several years, talked for a long time at night by candlelight. His eyes are red.But the whole person is full of vitality, and he is full of vigor when he walks. It is estimated that if it is not during the funeral, this person would be jumping happily.His relationship with the emperor's father has been repaired, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
This made the third child particularly look down on the twelve. Since the old man is talking about sex, why didn't you rush to chat together? Thirteen took advantage of it, it was really useless.
Together with Yang Dan, Shisi summed up the lessons of the brothers and their performance, geared up for preparations, and had an in-depth chat with the old man for half the night. The old man didn't give him a chance, and fell asleep right after he returned.
After the old man fell asleep, Yang Dan also fell asleep, the sky was getting cold, and the dew had turned into frost. After falling asleep, people subconsciously looked for heat sources. Yang Dan and Kangxi were already close to each other. up.
Fourteen is very wronged, obviously I am my own son,
Why does Yang Dan, the adopted son, please the old man more than me.Fourteen was unhappy, and his face was dark when he woke up the next day.
The old man doesn't care if he slept well or not yesterday. In Kangxi's view, I don't need to worry about whether you are happy or not. I am happy enough.
Since the fifteenth and sixteenth brothers are brothers, they chatted with the old man on the left and on the right, coaxing the old man to be happy together.The old man expressed affirmation of Shiliu's knowledge in mathematics, and there was a lot of encouragement in his words. The next day, someone specially rewarded him with a gold abacus.
I know what others think, but the envy, jealousy and hatred on the youngest's face can no longer be concealed.At the same time, the third child still had some regrets, and he blamed himself for being too far ahead. No one stayed with the old man overnight in front of himself and the fourth child, and he didn't even have a reference object. The old man's worry.
The new night is seventeen and eighteen. Eighteen is the age when people hate dogs. These half-grown children talk about whether they are big or small. They eat a lot and move around, and they have a lot of problems. At the same time, they sleep well. , fell asleep with his head on the pillow.
At that time, Shiba jumped around excitedly, expressing the honor of sleeping with the emperor's father for the first time, then chirped to express his emotions, and finally fell asleep after an hour of fuss.This made Kangxi and Shi Qi heave a sigh of relief at the same time.
This night was really hard for seventeen years. I had to take care of my old father and little brother. Fortunately, my old father said that my little brother didn’t sleep well. He grinded his teeth under the quilt at night, and even snored at a young age...
On the night of Seventeen, I really suffered all the sins of the year.
Just like that, the third child is still very envious of Seventeen, don't care about suffering or not, you have a chance to show yourself in front of the old man!You don't look like me, but you are disgusted!
If it wasn't because Kangxi was in poor health and couldn't stay up late, Tian Mi had to send someone to remind him several times, and he wouldn't have come out of the mourning hall.
However, at this critical moment, whether it is Kangxi or the deposed prince, their identities are particularly sensitive.
Many people are thinking, will the emperor restore the second elder brother as the prince again?
There are many people who have this idea, and many princes feel uneasy.
After all, it's not a day or two for the old man to be eccentric, and there is really no lower limit for him to be eccentric.
That night, the news spread around the prince, and in the next day, the news spread throughout the capital.Kangxi originally wanted to quietly let the three brothers come to pay homage to the Queen Mother, but he didn't expect that the mourning hall has no secrets at all, and the whole capital already knows it.
And Kangxi also had quite a few eyes and ears in the capital. After hearing the news, he couldn't help but snort coldly. He could figure out who was behind the scenes with his toes.
He said to Tian Mi when he was eating in the morning: "Sometimes some people think that the law does not blame the public, but they don't know that everyone who fails to do one thing will be unlucky."
Tian Mi didn't know what he was talking about, but many of the princes who were serving beside him could understand what it meant.
Because the fourth elder brother was standing among these princes, holding the bowl and handing it to Tian Mi. After hearing this, his hands trembled unconsciously. Tian Mi took the bowl over naturally and picked it up for Kangxi with his chopsticks. A dish with chopsticks.
"Why does my cousin have such an idea? Did someone do something to make you unhappy?"
"What's the matter? Anyway, this group of evildoers have never done anything that makes people feel happy. Instead, they are acting stupid in different ways. It's not a day or two. It's not that you don't know, talk This is boring, let's eat quickly."
There are still many things to do after eating, the most test of human strength is crying spirit.
No matter if they were married women or court ladies, they all wore white filial gowns, with a white velvet flower on their heads, and there was no colored clothes from inside to outside.
After breakfast, Tian Mi brought the concubines of the harem to a fixed place, and when the time came, an eunuch shouted loudly.The concubines of all palaces knelt down on the futon with the support of the maids.
This season is not bad, if it encounters a crying spirit in summer or winter, it will really kill people.
It is very hot in summer, kneeling under the sun, people are dizzy and sweaty from the sun.It is very likely that you will pass out due to heat stroke. In winter, you will be frozen all over your body, and your hands and feet will be cold.
Autumn is a lukewarm season. Tian Mi calculated that even if the funeral had been going on for more than a month, it would be late autumn by then, so it wouldn't be as overwhelming as counting nine cold days.
After crying all morning, Tian Mi realized that she was really old and couldn't support herself, so she reached out to let the maid help her up.After walking a few steps, I found myself feeling dizzy suddenly, and was helped to sit on the seat.
Even though the body can't take it anymore, we still have to persevere in this matter.Tian Mi found that her heart was beating very fast, and her breathing became difficult.
The two daughters of the fourth elder brother's family have grown into big girls. The two sisters came together, and seeing Tian Mi's face, they couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with your mother?"
Tian Mi quickly waved her hands, signaling to the two of them not to talk anymore, in this era, a person's character in terms of filial piety is very important.If a person is not filial, his character may be questionable in the eyes of others.
If Tian Mi shows powerlessness at this time, Kangxi's temper will definitely make Tian Mi go back to rest, but if she starts to rest from the beginning, and Tian Mi does not show up until the end of the matter, then Tian Mi will definitely suffer a lot of criticism in the future , It's like handing over one of your own handles to others. After so many years of hard work, I can't help but go to rest for a while, and it is easy to stain myself with a stain.
So Tian Mi had to hold on.
The people close to Tian Mi knew that her body was beginning to be overwhelmed, and they thought of many ways in private. For example, the futon Tian Mi used was stuffed with something, and it was always warm.The tea I drank every day was replaced by ginseng soup, and the medicine I drank was always scalding hot every time. No matter how big or small the matter was, these slaves could solve it, and if they couldn’t solve it, they reported it to Tian Mi. Honey is more worried.
After a few days, Tian Mi can guess some of these court ladies' thoughts.I don't know if it's because they are old, but Tian Mi was moved by what they did.
The funeral has been going on for a few days, and the nearby Mongolian tribes have rushed over, and the far ones are still on the way, and the various processes in the capital have been operating normally.
Tian Mi can breathe a sigh of relief, as long as she takes good care of herself, she doesn't have to think about other things. As for the funeral, the ministers and the officials of the clan's mansion will discuss it together.
And the Ministry of Internal Affairs went to Yang Dan for everything, and Yang Dan tried his best to finish everything and not let Tian Mi worry about it.
So when Yang Dan came to visit Tian Mi, Tian Mi looked at him very gratified, and couldn't help but take the son's hand and pat it.
"When you were young, I served tea to Erniang for the first time. At that time, Erniang said that raising you is much better than raising a puppy. You were joking at that time, but now Erniang feels that she relies on you everywhere. Sure enough, raising Only at this time can the son's achievements be shown."
"Look at what you said, isn't raising a son just for this day?" Yang Dan sat next to Tian Mi, holding one hand by Tian Mi, and with the other hand, he took a piece of pastry from the table and stuffed it into his mouth.
He said while eating: "I don't know why recently, I always feel that I don't have enough to eat. I obviously ate a lot, but I started to be hungry again after a while."
Seeing his thin face and dark circles under his eyes, Tian Mi couldn't help feeling distressed. "Is it because there are too many things in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that you can't rest well? Look at your face..."
"It has nothing to do with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the main reason is that I have been too busy these days." To worry about the office of the General Secretary, the Office of Internal Affairs, the crying spirit, and welcome and send with the brothers... Busy people often Speaking of dividing one of himself into two, Yang Dan felt that dividing himself into three would not be enough.
People have 12 hours a day, and he himself can't wait for 48 hours a day.Sleeping a little longer is a sin, so Yang Dan is looking forward to going to Jiangnan, and he can sleep until he is full.
But the emperor is already so sad, others dare not be lazy, Yang Dan even has no chance to be lazy.
After eating a piece of dim sum, he picked up another piece and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating, he said to Tian Mi: "My son is fine. After all, he is young and can survive. It's hard to say for Huang Ama. My son looked at his face. His complexion, these two days are different from before, and he ate less. A eunuch in front of the imperial court said that the old man has lost weight in the past two days."
Speaking of Tian Mi, there is nothing she can do, "I persuade him to eat more, but he just can't eat, he has to take care of a lot of things in the court, and after taking care of outside things, he has to go back to the inner palace to guard. It’s not that I said, those Mongols really didn’t wink at all. The emperor was already so tired that they insisted on crying in the mourning hall. Ask them what they want, and the emperor will agree to them if you tell them in front of the queen mother. But this group of people didn't say anything, they just kept crying, and the crying sound was so loud..."
Hearing this, Yang Dan couldn't help but look up at Tian Mi. The root of this problem lies in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.To put it another way, the root cause of this matter lies in Er Niang.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs controls both silk and tea. Silk in the south, cotton in the north, and wool in the north, these things are spun into threads to make silk, satin and woolen cloth, with different thicknesses, different colors, and different prices.A wide variety of silk fabrics were directly sent to Guangzhou, where they were loaded on ships and shipped to Europa by bypassing Nanyang.
Taking a boat trip is rewarding, especially some silks and satins are dyed green, orange and pink. It is said that they are snapped up by foreign devils as soon as they get off the boat and shipped to the French court to make a fortune.In addition to these fabrics, each ship will also carry some tea, whether it is tea or silk, the sales are very good.
For Mongolia, which is eagerly waiting to use tea, the impact will be great. The place where tea can be grown in the south of the Yangtze River is only as big as a palm, and most of them are sold abroad. The tea used in the north is not less, but the quality is better. something different.
Regarding this, the Mongols had a saying a few years ago that they insisted on asking the Ministry of Internal Affairs to explain it.The Ministry of Internal Affairs did not pay much attention to them. So far, these people have not received feedback, so they naturally want to sue the emperor.
But now that the empress dowager has just passed away, this group of people also know that it is not appropriate to file a complaint at this time, so they can only cry, crying sadly and desperately, seeing that the empress dowager was born in Mongolia, the emperor must ask, and wait until the time to ask. These half-confessed words can't be said to be suing the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but can only be said not to dare to deceive the king and to reveal the truth.
Thinking of this, Yang Dan felt that he couldn't sit down anymore, and needed to have a good chat with the emperor about this matter.
He grabbed another piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth, took two sips of tea, washed down the snack in his mouth, and hurriedly stood up: "You sit here and rest, you are already so tired, my son dare not disturb you anymore You, hurry up and recharge your batteries while you have free time, as long as you are in good health, it will be a blessing to my son and fourth brother."
Seeing that he was leaving, Tian Mi didn't know what he was going to do, but Tian Mi thought of Yang Dan's marriage at this moment, grabbed his hand and pulled him back, and asked the maids to retreat and look at the door.Whispered to Yang Dan: "You are really unlucky, child. You just got out of your Ama's filial piety, and you ran into the Empress Dowager's affair. Tell Er Niang honestly, you..."
Yang Dan really didn't think so, he was not one of those bachelors who thought about marrying a wife every day.
Hearing Tian Mi say this, she stood up and left. When she left, she yelled, "Sit down and rest. I will tell you about this when my son is free. My son is going to do other things first. There is no rush for this matter." .”
Seeing him running away as if fleeing, Tian Mi couldn't help but pat the table next to her, thinking in her heart that this stinky boy is not young, if he doesn't marry a wife now, what will he do in the future?
In the future, his children will already know how to make soy sauce. Maybe he just married a wife.
It's fine if he is willing to marry a wife, Tian Mi is still wondering if he has some hobbies.
Yang Dan ran out from Tian Mi in embarrassment, and hurriedly went to the Qianqing Palace to find Kangxi. Kangxi had just returned to the Qianqing Palace and was dealing with matters. Soon I saw Kangxi who was revising the memorial.
After he told his discovery and inference, he couldn't help but look up at the emperor who was writing on the memorial.
"Huang Ama, my son thinks that they may have resentment, why don't we ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give them some good tea."
"Your mother-in-law is in charge of the affairs of the House of Internal Affairs. You don't need to discuss it with me. You mother and son can figure it out." Having said that, Kangxi paused for a moment, and put away the ink brush in his hand.He stood up and stretched out his hand, Yang Dan quickly took a step forward, supported his arm and went down the steps.
Kangxi walked and said to Yang Dan beside him: "You are much stronger than your brothers. Those evil people, who only focus on the big ones, have become short-sighted. The situation in Mongolia is changing every day. Similarly, some people think that they are the descendants of Genghis Khan, the blood of the golden family, and they don’t see us Manchus in their eyes.”
"Who is so bold?"
"Who else could it be? If these people were more honest, I wouldn't have personally marched three times. Now that so many years have passed, and I am old, it is undoubtedly a dream come true .”
After finishing speaking, Kangxi sighed and sat down, took tea from the hand of the maid, and motioned Yang Dan to sit down too. "In two or three years, we will use our troops again, so you treat them well at this time, and they don't know our painstaking efforts. They are purely winking and throwing them to the blind. Instead, they think we are weak and can be bullied, but at this time, we must treat you well. It’s fine for them, let them relax their vigilance first.”
Yang Dan couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Although he is the honor of the county king, his family knows his family affairs, and he is very clear about how he got the title of county king. , plus it was raised by Er Niang, the combination of the two makes the emperor look at him higher than other people. After all, it is not a proper way to get the title, how can Enfeng be compared to military merit.Yang Dan is very eager to be those who have won the title on horseback.
He tentatively asked, "Huang Ama, you see that your son is now strong and strong, and he hasn't let up his horsepower over the years. Can he lead a team to play forward?"
Kangxi took a look at Yang Dan while holding the teacup, and couldn't help but smile, "I'm very happy that you think so, but swords have no eyes, what if I hurt you then? And your status is too high to be a Forward, plus you are young and haven’t played before, you are inexperienced, so you should stay in the capital and don’t go anywhere.”
Yang Dan felt disappointed after hearing this, and wanted to try harder, "Maybe my son is talented in this area, how can you show your son's ability if you don't let him go through a past experience?"
"You are quite capable now, just take care of these things in your hands." Kangxi looked up and down at Yang Dan, and seeing Yang Dan sitting opposite him full of vigor, he couldn't help it Satisfied in his heart, what he said just now is correct, Yang Dan is really capable, and now the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Secretary of General Administration are handled quite well in his hands.It can be seen that Yang Dan has a few brushes in internal affairs. As for marching and fighting, Kangxi didn't want Zhao Kuo's paper talk to happen to Yang Dan again.
"It's not easy to raise you up so big. What if something happens to you and I and your empress mother will do it? Don't think so much, just do your current job well. If you are really filial, fuck you more." Er Niang walked over to her, she kept nagging about you not having a wife every day. When the incident with the Queen Mother is over, you should take it to heart."
Unexpectedly, when he came to Qianqing Palace, he was still urged to marry. Yang Dan agreed listlessly, feeling that it would be useless for him to sit down, and then stood up to say goodbye, wanting to leave.
Kangxi waved his hand to make him retreat.
When Yang Dan came out, he happened to meet Lao Qi in front of the Qianqing Palace. Yang Dan lowered his head and didn't see Lao Qi approaching. The two walked to meet each other, and Lao Qi stretched out his hand to fix Yang Dan's shoulder.
"What's wrong with Yang Dan? Why is he downcast? Was he scolded by Huang Ama?"
Yang Dan looked up, and quickly apologized: "I blame my younger brother for not having long eyes and blocking the way of Seventh Brother, are you going to see Huang Ama?"
Lao Qi nodded, "Yes, I have to listen to orders, so my brother won't talk to you. Time is running out, so I'll go in now."
Yang Dan turned around and watched Lao Qi enter the main hall, thinking in his heart that Huang Ama and Qi Ge were probably negotiating the use of Mongolian troops, and he was so envious that he was dying, but he couldn't go, so he could only sigh again. The mourners left.
Yang Dan was right, Lao Qi came here to listen to orders because he wanted to listen to Kangxi's order to arrange troops.
Kangxi had already sat back in front of the table, and took out a book from a pile of booklets, "The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass are going first. This is the grain and grass stock in Shaanxi and Gansu. You can take a look first."
Yang Dan continued to walk out, and when he was out of the range of Qianqing Palace, he saw his little eunuch running over quickly to report, "Master, I have found you, let's go and see Lord Eleven, Lord Eleven is ill." .
Regardless of the high nutrition and good nutrition of eleven children, they can usually plan a bowl or two of rice, but whenever the seasons change, they are sickly.
Now it's time to change seasons, and with the addition of the empress dowager's funeral, the eleven fell down without accident.
This time the illness was severe, even though Concubine Yi had this mental preparation in her heart, seeing her son suddenly collapsed with her own eyes, anyone felt so sad that she couldn't help herself, and she was crying like a tearful man.
When Yang Dan ran over, Concubine Yi was sitting by the bed and scolding: "I have raised you for so many years, your health has never been better, I never thought about your blessings, but your brother and I worry about you every day... ..."
Lao Jiu couldn't help but say to her: "He's fine now, why are you scolding here? Does he want this? He doesn't want this either. You have the energy to scold people here, why don't you think of a way to make up for him."
When Concubine Yi heard this, little bastard, you've gone out of your way, dare to talk back to my old lady here.
I couldn't help but frowned with anger, "I said to him, he didn't talk back, what are you talking about here, don't think you are a good person, I tell you that you are full of problems, I feel upset when I see you... ..."
Lao Jiu became angry at this time, "No matter how many problems you have, you were born. You shouldn't have given birth to me in the first place!"
Concubine Yi was just swearing just to cover up her fear in fear, but now she was really pissed off by Lao Jiu.She pointed at Lao Jiu and her fingers were shaking.
Seeing that Er Niang became like this, Lao Wu took a step forward and slapped Lao Jiu on the back of the head, "Kneel down, how can you talk to Er Niang like this?"
He slapped Lao Jiu's unpreparedness, and plopped in front of Concubine Yi. He turned his head and wanted to say Lao Wu, but Lao Wu swayed and fainted.
This time Concubine Yi was really scared. Eleven, who was paralyzed on the bed, sat up quickly in fright. She was too anxious to get out of bed without throwing off the quilt, and fell off the bed onto the footrest.
Lao Jiu had already crawled to Lao Wu's side with cold hands and feet, Yang Dan also rushed in, Lao Wu fell into the arms of the eunuch, Lao Jiu ran over to pinch Lao Wu's people, and yelled at Yang Dan. Dan, "you pinch his tiger's mouth, pinch hard."
However, no matter how hard the two pinched, it didn't work, Eleven asked Lao Jiu to push Lao Wu's chest. "Quick, hit his chest three times, only three times, no more."
Yang Dan hurriedly took Lao Wu out of the eunuch's arms and spread it flat on the ground, and Lao Jiu ran over and hammered Lao Wu's chest hard three times.
After these three beatings, Lao Wu let out a sigh of relief, and his eyelids slowly opened.
Concubine Yi burst into tears at this time, "Old Fifth, Er Niang's Yin, if you have any problems, what will you ask Er Niang to do?"
Lao Jiu couldn't help but said to her: "He's fine, don't cry and get over with him. Aren't you afraid of bad luck?"
Concubine Yi quickly shut up, and Yang Dan said: "Let Fifth Brother go back and take a good rest, I can't hide what happened today, Brother Ninth will talk to Huang Ama with me later, He can't take it anymore like this."
Lao Jiu nodded, first asked the eunuch to carry Eleven to the bed, then found a place to put Lao Wu, and finally told Concubine Yi to go to Qianqing Palace with Yang Dan.
At this time, Lao Qi was still discussing with Kangxi about the use of troops. Hearing that Lao Wu had passed out, the father and son couldn't help but look at each other.
Kangxi let Lao Jiu and Yang Dan go down, and asked Lao Wu to reward Lao Wu again, and then picked up a pen and scratched Lao Wu's name on the paper.
"When I went to the imperial conquest, I got rid of your eldest brother, and only your third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother and you followed me to the battlefield. Now your eldest brother, second brother and eighth brother have been imprisoned, and it is impossible to send them away. Let the three out, your third brother can't even climb a horse like that, don't expect him to be able to gallop on the battlefield, your fourth brother has never been very good at horseback, this matter falls to you and On your fifth brother, but now that your fifth brother has become like this again, I am afraid that you are the only one left to take the lead."
Lao Sanri is fat, and he always rides a carriage when he goes out, and he can no longer climb on the back of a horse.It has been so many years since the fourth child, and there are still jokes about him being four-strength and half-strength and shooting arrows off the target.
These two sons are already useless, but fortunately, when the time comes to prepare food and grass in the capital, they can count on the two of them.
Lao Wu has always been generous and gentle, and has a good relationship with Lao Qi.The two brothers went to the battlefield together, and there was no such thing as internal strife.In Kangxi's original vision, it was for the two brothers to complement each other.But now that the fifth child is like this, he can't go to the battlefield.
It is true that the fifth child became like this because of being tired of keeping filial piety, but after arriving on the battlefield, the situation is more dangerous than this.
So only Lao Qi could lead the troops to go out alone. Lao Qi didn't show any fear about this matter, but instead had a kind of pride in it.
When none of his brothers could play, he was able to turn the tide, and he could definitely elevate his status in the heart of the emperor. Although he was lame and could not be the emperor, but with this victory, he and The status of descendants in the royal family is already unshakable.
Kangxi thought for a while, since only the seventh son among his own sons can fight, why not bring King Ping with him, "Let King Ping assist you then."
When Lao Qi heard this, he had no fear of King Ping. King Ping was in a lower grade, well-behaved and obedient, and capable. There could be more such characters.
After discussing it, he withdrew from Qianqing Palace and went to talk to King Ping.
Half a month after the funeral, Kangxi really fulfilled his wish of concluding his filial piety. It was already autumn and there was dew.
Kangxi has even chosen the place where he will marry. Once he has made a decision, no one else can go against it.Just after he determined a good place, he asked someone to find a clean thatch for him.
At this time, the autumn wheat had just been harvested, and the stalks were soft and clean. The eunuch pulled a cart and spread them in the shed.
It's not just a show, they really want to live in a shed and sleep on the straw.Moreover, he also added a deadline to his ascetic, ordinary life.
At that time, all the princes and grandchildren were dumbfounded, Shiba was even sent by his brothers to ask Tian Mi to persuade him.
Just after Tian Mi passed by, seeing that he had already rolled out the stall, she couldn't help sighing, "It is said that women sing and husbands follow suit, since my cousin has prepared the place, I will stay there with you Bar."
The fourth elder brother was dumbfounded at the time, Huang Ama hadn't been pulled out of the shed yet, Er Niang was going to live in again, what should he do?
Kangxi felt that Tian Mi was messing around, "You have never suffered such a crime in your life, and you are not in good health, can you continue to toss like this? Go back to your Chengqian Palace."
Tian Mi asked rhetorically, "When the dew falls at night and your body is wet, what if it makes you sick again?"
"Then you have to bring me a quilt. It doesn't have to be too good, just cotton."
Even the quilt made of cotton cloth is also top-quality Songjiang fine cotton with new cotton, which is suitable for thickness and comfortable to cover.
Tian Mi saw that he had really made up his mind, so she didn't persuade him so much, and asked the family to bring the quilt and spread a thin mattress underneath.
This time, the princes lined up to watch over him. There was no reason why the old man ate bran and swallowed vegetables and slept on haystacks, and the sons slept on high beds and soft beds.
Those who accompanied Kangxi on the first day were the third and fourth children. After the father and son returned from the mourning hall, Kangxi shook off his quilt, took off his clothes after washing, and lay down directly.
Here, the two brothers also learned from each other. There is only one haystack on the ground, so the father and son are squeezed together.
The third child and the fourth child have mixed feelings in their hearts. When they were young, they naturally longed for the emperor's attention, but the old man was particularly partial back then.
At that time, it was impossible to desire to be closer to the emperor's father.
Now that I'm older, I don't think so much anymore, but my old dream suddenly came true.It can only be said that life is too unexpected sometimes.
But Kangxi's heart was as calm as water, and he didn't have any opinion on the fact that his two sons couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.It's just that after he slept until midnight, he suddenly felt a little thirsty, so he couldn't help kicking the third child.
"Get up and bring me a glass of water."
The third child was shocked by the kick, and sat up quickly, but his body was too weak, there was still a pile of fat on his stomach, his waist and abdomen were weak, and the pile of straw was soft, so he didn't sit up after sitting for two times. He kept shaking while propping up his upper body.
Kangxi directly expressed dissatisfaction, "You haven't sat up for a long time! Don't go, you go, fourth child."
The fourth child threw off the quilt and sat up, put on his shoes and went to bring water, the third child lay down again in shame.
He defended himself: "My son has been too fat for a while and neglected to exercise."
However, Kangxi discriminated against the fat man, and directly snorted to express his disbelief. "Turn over and see how deep the grass pit is under you."
In fact, the third child was still a little dissatisfied. He turned over quietly, because the haystack was made of fresh straw, which was too soft, and he sank into it.
On the surface, the third child didn't move, but in fact, the third child was embarrassed.
At this time, the fourth elder brother came over with water. He held the cup in one hand and supported Kangxi with the other: "Huang Ama, drink water."
Kangxi rinsed his mouth first, drank the water, lay down and fell asleep slowly.
After the fourth elder brother lay down, he heard the movement of the third child next door. The third child tried his best to prop himself up, and kept winking at the fourth child under the light.
This brother usually makes too many moths, the fourth elder brother doesn't intend to pick up on him, so he just pretends he didn't hear it, closes his eyes to rest his mind, and falls asleep after a while.
The next day the eunuchs came in to help them get dressed. After the third child was helped up by the eunuchs, he looked back at the place where he had been lying. He had indeed sunk into a big pit, deeper than the other two.
Looking up at Kangxi and the fourth child again, the two had already left the shed. The third child quickly kicked his eunuch, "Hurry up, get some grass and fill it in, do you want people to think that your master is just a man?" Fatty?"
The eunuch felt baffled, but hurriedly grabbed a handful of straws and filled them in the human-shaped pit.
The third child now doesn't pay attention to other things, but pays attention to how these brothers behave when they accompany the emperor every day.
Lao Wu and Lao Qi accompanied him all night, serving tea and pouring water was done by Lao Qi, even though Lao Qi had a leg problem, but he did everything neatly.So the old man was full of praise for Lao Qi, and he was also quite kind to Lao Wu.
Then came Lao Jiu and Lao Ten. It is said that these two bears were scolded the next day because Lao Shi didn't sleep well and kicked the old man at night.After being kicked awake, the old man who was not at a disadvantage kicked him four or five times. The old ten felt wronged and had no place to reason when he was scolded.
Eleven is sick and does not exclude him, thirteen and twelve are on the round, but twelve is too boring. Thirteen and the old man, who have not talked to the emperor alone for several years, talked for a long time at night by candlelight. His eyes are red.But the whole person is full of vitality, and he is full of vigor when he walks. It is estimated that if it is not during the funeral, this person would be jumping happily.His relationship with the emperor's father has been repaired, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
This made the third child particularly look down on the twelve. Since the old man is talking about sex, why didn't you rush to chat together? Thirteen took advantage of it, it was really useless.
Together with Yang Dan, Shisi summed up the lessons of the brothers and their performance, geared up for preparations, and had an in-depth chat with the old man for half the night. The old man didn't give him a chance, and fell asleep right after he returned.
After the old man fell asleep, Yang Dan also fell asleep, the sky was getting cold, and the dew had turned into frost. After falling asleep, people subconsciously looked for heat sources. Yang Dan and Kangxi were already close to each other. up.
Fourteen is very wronged, obviously I am my own son,
Why does Yang Dan, the adopted son, please the old man more than me.Fourteen was unhappy, and his face was dark when he woke up the next day.
The old man doesn't care if he slept well or not yesterday. In Kangxi's view, I don't need to worry about whether you are happy or not. I am happy enough.
Since the fifteenth and sixteenth brothers are brothers, they chatted with the old man on the left and on the right, coaxing the old man to be happy together.The old man expressed affirmation of Shiliu's knowledge in mathematics, and there was a lot of encouragement in his words. The next day, someone specially rewarded him with a gold abacus.
I know what others think, but the envy, jealousy and hatred on the youngest's face can no longer be concealed.At the same time, the third child still had some regrets, and he blamed himself for being too far ahead. No one stayed with the old man overnight in front of himself and the fourth child, and he didn't even have a reference object. The old man's worry.
The new night is seventeen and eighteen. Eighteen is the age when people hate dogs. These half-grown children talk about whether they are big or small. They eat a lot and move around, and they have a lot of problems. At the same time, they sleep well. , fell asleep with his head on the pillow.
At that time, Shiba jumped around excitedly, expressing the honor of sleeping with the emperor's father for the first time, then chirped to express his emotions, and finally fell asleep after an hour of fuss.This made Kangxi and Shi Qi heave a sigh of relief at the same time.
This night was really hard for seventeen years. I had to take care of my old father and little brother. Fortunately, my old father said that my little brother didn’t sleep well. He grinded his teeth under the quilt at night, and even snored at a young age...
On the night of Seventeen, I really suffered all the sins of the year.
Just like that, the third child is still very envious of Seventeen, don't care about suffering or not, you have a chance to show yourself in front of the old man!You don't look like me, but you are disgusted!
