After the live broadcast, the fourth elder brother changed to take the group favorite script

"Second brother, it will be Huang Ama's [-]th birthday in a few days. What gift should we prepare? How about a colorful dress to entertain relatives?" The fourth elder brother Yinzhen, who was half a step behind the prince, said naturally.

He ascended the throne at the age of eight today, and it will be exactly fifty in the 42nd year of Kangxi.

Longevity is very grand every year, especially the whole birthday. When the 45th and [-]th birthdays were completed, all the small countries around the Qing Dynasty sent people to celebrate.

Middle-aged people are not confused when they reach forty, and those who are fifty are rare. Unlike other people, they don't know how many birthdays the emperor can live.

After so many years, the relationship between him and the prince is still the same as before. Every birthday, everyone will present a congratulatory gift together, and then give a separate copy to Huang Ama.

Weilan Xingren said that the older the emperor was, the more he valued family affection, and what he hoped for was uncalculated and pure feelings, Yinzhen deeply agreed.That's why he thought of Caiyi Yuqin.

Now that the fifteenth day has not yet passed, they have time to rehearse while they are still resting.

Yinreng glanced at the eighth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother who were not far away from them, and when the fourteenth elder brother gave a cold snort, he turned around with a chuckle, "It's very cold this winter, why don't we go to Yuqing Palace to do it again?" Discuss. Afraid of being lonely and cold, Huang Ama bought a lot of charcoal fires for Yuqing Palace with private money last year. I will ask He Zhu to go back and light the charcoal fires first, what do you think?"

As he spoke, he called He Zhu loudly, and He Zhu trotted over.

After getting the prince's order, he patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Your Highness, this servant promises to handle the errand properly."

There is no shortage of charcoal fires in Yuqing Palace, of course He Zhu can't embarrass his master, every time the princes go to Yuqing Palace, he treats them with the best things, trying to make everyone praise him full of praise.

It wasn't the compliment he wanted, it was just that he was happy seeing the satisfied expressions of the princes.

"He Zhu, burn more charcoal fire, your sixth master is afraid of the cold." The sixth elder brother shouted at He Zhu's back.I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, when he shouted, his eyes glanced at the eighth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother's smile froze on his face.

Because he needs a lot of money to win over the officials, and he himself does not have much property that can generate money, he can only be generous externally and struggling internally.

To what extent is the eighth prince struggling?He doesn't have enough charcoal every year.

It's not that it's not enough, except for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he has never paid for it.But the charcoal fires issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all based on grades, not to mention that he is just a bare brother, even the king of Zhijun can barely use it for himself.

The eleventh brother once went to the eighth elder brother's mansion. When he came back, he complained: the eighth elder brother is really frugal, and there is only one charcoal basin in such a big study.When I went to another brother's mansion, it was like spring when I entered the house from the outside; on his side, it was still cold winter, and it felt no different from the outside.

He went there once and let the eighth elder brother talk loudly and never went there again.

Eleven elder brothers are like this, let alone sixth elder brother.

The prince looked him up and down with his hands behind his back, "Xiao Liu, what you said is as if the second brother has treated you badly."

Sixth elder brother begged for forgiveness: "How can I? I'm afraid that He Zhu will forget."

If the two were not fighting with others, the atmosphere of the others was equally harmonious, and not far away, the duo almost twisted their noses in anger.The eighth elder brother has experienced many things in his old age, which is better. The fourteenth elder brother can't do it on the surface.

He looked at Sixth Brother's back and snorted coldly: "Brother, look at how successful they are. When you come to power in the future, I'll see how proud they are."

If it is said that the fourteenth elder brother had some doubts about the eighth elder brother in the past, since Hongwang was brought into the palace to be raised, he has no doubts about it.No one in the palace knew that since Hongwang could speak, the emperor had been with him to teach him personally.

May I ask, among these imperial grandchildren, apart from the crown prince's son-in-law, who else has this kind of treatment?

They regarded this as a favor, but they didn't know that Kangxi was worried that Concubine Liang would not be able to teach the child, and teaching him to be another eighth elder brother would violate his original intention of bringing the child to the palace.

As for the other emperor's grandsons, it's easy to explain. The other emperor's elder brother has no problem with his character. He fully believes that his son can teach good children.

Teaching children is not only to let them understand the principles of life, but also to promote the relationship between father and son.He has already deprived his sons of the right to be named. If he deprives them of getting along with their father and son again, the sons will have to tear down his Qianqing Palace?

The eighth elder brother raised the corners of his mouth again, and his eyes were soft, "Why should the fourteenth brother be as knowledgeable as them, and let them be proud first, and there will be times when they beg you in the future."

Maybe Yinhu could stay awake at first, thinking that it was not easy for the emperor to raise Hongwang.With the passage of time, he was also shaken by everyone's praise, especially when the emperor personally enlightened Hongwang.

He selectively forgot that Concubine Liang was illiterate, and his mind was full of glory.

He even thought that even if everyone said that he got the throne because of his son, he didn't care.

The victors, including Huang Ama, were all nonsense, not to mention that he was rarely talked about since he was a child.On this point, Brother Ba is very open.

Elder Fourteen agreed very much. Thinking of the news he heard just now, Fourteen said: "Brother, Longevity, Emperor Ama, what are we going to do? Shall we also come to entertain relatives in colorful clothes?" It is best to get ahead of them Performance.

He had already foreseen the scene where all the ministers saw their performance and pointed at the prince and others.

Only the eighth elder brother smiled mysteriously, "What's so good about picking up people's teeth, I have already asked someone to prepare a special gift, and I guarantee that Huang Ama will like it."

The world ridiculed her, Er Niang, who came from a humble background, but they didn't expect that Er Niang also had many connections in the palace.I am afraid even the crown prince doesn't know now that the emperor's health is not as good as before, if he doesn't take good care of him, the imperial doctor asserts that he won't live for a few years.

He had been preparing for this longevity gift five years ago, and it was only delivered to the mansion in secret yesterday.What he was waiting for was to be a blockbuster on Wanshou, so that Huang Ama and all the ministers would look at him with admiration.

"What gift?" Seeing the eighth elder brother but smiling silently, the fourteenth elder brother was a little unhappy, and his displeasure was expressed on his face, with a sharp tone, "The eighth elder brother doesn't believe me? with me?"

Brother Fourteen is good at reading, and he has been praised by Kangxi since he was a child.He is fifteen this year, and it is said that the emperor has taken a fancy to a girl from Wanyan's family to be his heir Fujin.

Although the origin of this Wanyan's father is not obvious, but Wanyan's family is the same as Dong E's family, and most of the surnames belong to the same ancestor.If you have to go back, the Wanyan clan is much more powerful than the Dong E clan, and she is the descendant of Wanyan Aguda.If Dajin does not subjugate the country, the Wanyan family will be golden branches and jade leaves.

The benefits of marrying the Wanyan family are huge, especially the fourteenth and eighth princes are both ambitious.Shisi knew that if the situation had not forced him, he would not have followed Lao Ba.Lao Ba has a lot of eyes, so it's normal not to trust him.

He could understand in his heart that it was true that he was uncomfortable when he was guarded against.

Spreading his hands helplessly, the eighth elder brother looked at him as if he was looking at an ignorant younger brother. He lowered his voice, "It's not that the eighth brother doesn't believe in the fourth brother. The wall has ears, and the younger brother is worried that the prince will find out. However, since the fourteenth brother wants to I know, myna has nothing to say."

As he spoke, he whispered a few words in the ear of the fourteenth elder brother. The fourteenth elder brother looked surprised. He was about to say something when he saw the eighth elder brother put his index finger on his mouth, "shh".

Brother Fourteen covered his mouth, and after a while, he let it go, "Myna, what you said is true."

Every Manchu family has its own totem, and the Aixinjueluo family believes in Costin.On Huang Ama's [-]th birthday, the fourth brother gave a copy of "Flying Eagle Picture", on which is a Costinus flying high.

That painting is so precious to Huang Ama that even Prince Yu won't let him touch it.Now that painting is still hanging in Huang Ama's bedroom in Qianqing Palace. According to the people who served Huang Ama, even if she was busy, Huang Ama would appreciate the painting for a quarter of an hour, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable all over.

Even if a painting is like this, if the mynah is real, how happy will Huang Ama be?

The fourteenth elder brother clasped his fists and spoke with joy, "My brother hereby wishes the mynah all his wishes. Mynah must not forget my younger brother when the time comes."

The eighth elder brother is very useful, he said modestly, "If the eighth elder brother can really achieve things, the credit of the fourteenth brother will naturally be indispensable. The eighth elder brother is not an ungrateful person, and we brothers are of one mind, great things can be accomplished."

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye it was March, the emperor's birthday.

Kangxi’s fiftieth birthday, it’s not surprising that Tsarist Russia and Tubo sent envoys to celebrate his birthday. Western Portugal and other countries also went to the capital to surprise people, and after the shock, they were delighted.

What does this mean?It shows that the Qing Dynasty is strong and powerful, and it has reached the point where they all pay attention to it.

Receiving the envoy is a good job, and the eighth elder brother started to fight for it early on. After Kangxi thought about it, he handed over the affairs of Tsarist Russia to him.Eighth Prince and his henchmen were very happy, but before they could laugh out loud, the emperor gave the prince the affairs of the western countries.

Now the eight princes can't laugh anymore.Tsarist Russia and Tubo are all vassal states, and they are regarded as "our own people"; Western countries are not.And compared to Tsarist Russia, Western countries are more prosperous.Send the prince and others over to receive them, and anyone with a discerning eye can see who the emperor values ​​more.

The sixth elder brother approached the fourth elder brother's ear, "Fourth elder brother, look at them, the tops of their heads are almost smoking. With such a sweetness, do you still want to be the emperor?" Yin Zuo couldn't understand those two people, so he took the opportunity to Cynicism.

Yinzhen glanced at him sideways, he was full of helplessness, he was no longer a child, and the sixth child was still so careless when talking.In front of so many people, this can be said.

The sixth elder brother laughed twice, he knew that the fourth elder brother was doing it for his own good, but he just had this temper and couldn't change it.

"How are the gifts prepared? There are still some good things in the fourth brother's house. If you have time, you can pick a few." He has a live broadcast system. Every year on his birthday, people from Azure Star will give him ideas and gifts. Those gifts are rare. One, whatever you take out is top-notch.

The sixth child is a bit extravagant in spending money, and the good things in Ning's hand are not as much as his mother's, he is afraid that Yin Zuo doesn't have something outstanding.Every year at Wanshou, several brothers will get together to discuss to ensure that everyone's gifts are of similar value, or that there are no duplicates.

He remembered that Lao Liu had prepared a decoration.

He didn't know what Lao Ba and the others prepared. On his brother's side, Lao Liu's congratulatory gifts were always the bottom ones every year. He wanted to save face for his younger brother.

Sixth elder brother waved his hand and stared fiercely, "A younger brother hasn't honored his elder brother yet, how can he always think about taking his things. Don't worry, fourth brother, my younger brother doesn't intend to fight for anything. I think that ornament is very good .”

He and Lao Qi went to buy that ornament together, and the things prepared by the two were of the same value, and every year, the two of them came to the bottom together as brothers and sisters.The second is the thirteenth elder brother. In the early years, the concubine Zhang Jia was favored, and the thirteenth elder brother also had some good things in his hands.He is different from Sixth Brother, perhaps because he doesn't want everyone to sympathize, the gifts he prepares every time are expensive, just like Lao Jiu and the others.

If he changed things suddenly, wouldn't Lao Qi be left alone at the end?Furthermore, fourth brother is the most important thing in his heart, if you have that money, it is better to keep it, and buy good things for fourth brother next time when fourth brother celebrates his birthday.

He doesn't rely on Huang Ama's favor to live, others are willing to fight for them.

"You?" Yinzhen was a little helpless.However, he agrees with Lao Liu's approach in his heart, and there is nothing wrong with living recklessly in this world.

Only like this, very few people can learn it.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

The Longevity Festival birthday banquet is held in the evening, and all ministers from Beijing and China can attend this evening regardless of their rank.The crown prince stood in front of everyone, and the elder brother followed closely behind, saluting with all the ministers.

Kangxi had a smile on his face, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood today.Standing in front of him, he raised his hands up, "All my dear ones, you are free from courtesy. Give me your seat."

On his left is the elderly queen mother, and the old lady is also smiling, her face full of joy.On the right is the noble concubine Niu Hulu. Behind the noble concubine Niu Hulu is the fourth concubine and the sixth concubine, and the good concubine stands behind the Hesheli concubine.Relying on the fact that everyone couldn't see, Concubine Hesheli gave Concubine Liang a supercilious look.

Although concubine Hesheli enjoys the treatment of a concubine, she is not a real concubine after all. According to the rules, she should stand behind the concubine with the title of concubine, that is, behind the good concubine.She planned to do this too, but Concubine Liang was one step ahead of her and stood behind her.

When the prince was waiting for others to salute, the concubine stood by the side, and when they finished the salute, the concubine also took the concubine to greet the emperor.

All the concubines in the harem are here today, including the unfavored concubine Xu and concubine Shu.They followed behind the crowd, a huge group of people said they were showing their faces, but in fact Kangxi couldn't see them.

After everyone was seated, the crown prince stood up first, "Ama Huang, today is the [-]th birthday of Ama Huang. My son, elder brother, and brothers rehearsed a special program to celebrate Ama Huang's birthday."

"Oh? What program?" Kangxi's curiosity was aroused, but the crown prince just smiled and said nothing.He pointed to the prince and said to the queen mother, "Look, mother-in-law, he has learned how to play tricks." The gifts prepared by the princes were all brought in during the banquet tonight. He didn't know it before. The program is a little curious.

The queen mother replied with a smile: "The Ai family sees that the prince learned from the emperor. Didn't the emperor not notify you in advance on the day of Ai's family?" She was also talking about the day when she celebrated her birthday. Congratulations', the Empress Dowager's eyes were a little moist.

Although the emperor is not her own, he still has respect for her, and that's enough.

Kangxi was slightly stunned, and then realized what the queen mother said. Seeing the queen mother's expression, he turned his head a little awkwardly, "I always remember that if it weren't for the empress dowager and the empress dowager when I was young, I wouldn't be where I am today. Now The empress dowager is gone, and I only have the empress mother."

After he finished speaking, he realized that the atmosphere was not right, and said immediately: "Yinfeng, what are you preparing, hurry up and show me."

The crown prince winked at all the brothers, the elder brother and the others stood up, "Your minister leads the order."

From the eldest elder brother to the thirteenth elder brother all went outside to prepare, and the eighth elder brother who was left behind in the middle appeared.The eighth elder brother tightened his hand holding the wine glass, and then stood up as if nothing had happened.

After the fourteenth elder brother, the emperor and the prince are young. It is normal for them to not play together. The eighth elder brother...

Many ministers began to whisper.

After a while, the prince asked someone to come over with a piano, the prince played the piano, and the elder brother led the sixth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, and the thirteenth elder brother to dance swords; the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother faced back to each other. Blow the flute and play the piano; the fifth prince and others scattered around to compose poems and paintings.

Seeing each perform their duties in a mess, the scene is rarely very harmonious.There is also Brother Jiu who found another way, even wearing water sleeves and dancing.

Sensing everyone's gazes, Concubine Yi covered her face with a handkerchief, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.What can this old nine do wrong, just write like the fifth, how can he go out with this appearance in the future.

Kangxi was also taken aback, and then laughed, "This old nine's mind is different from others."

Whether it was playing the piano or dancing the sword, he had to admit that the most attractive of these people was Lao Jiu.Lao Jiu successfully attracted his idea.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Lao Jiu being like this, Caiyi entertained his relatives, it just showed that Lao Jiu respected him.

At the end of the song, Kangxi thought it was over, but unexpectedly, all the elder brothers sang a chorus for him.Although Lao Jiu was the only one wearing a costume, the others sang, recited and played in a good way.

"I wish the emperor Ama is as blessed as the East Sea, and the Qing Dynasty will last forever." The brothers of the emperor said in unison, their voices were sonorous and powerful.

Kangxi stood up excitedly, and he said three good things in a row, "You are all my good sons and the pillars of the Qing Dynasty. This gift is the best birthday gift I have ever received, and it is incomparable. Especially It's Xiaojiu, doing well."

Worried that someone would make irresponsible remarks afterwards, Kangxi deliberately raised Brother Jiu to praise him separately.

Ninth Brother looked smug, and he said that his move was absolutely brilliant, Fifth Brother and the others still didn't believe it.Look, Huang Ama remembers him now.

"Huang Ama, apart from this, my ministers and others have prepared other congratulatory gifts." The elder brother was slightly out of breath, singing and fighting at the same time, his physical strength was exhausted, and his whole body was warm.

"Oh? What else, hurry up, and don't be fooled, take it all out." With this opening, Kangxi suddenly looked forward to what will happen next.

It was still the crown prince who took the lead, he clapped his hands, and two men dressed as little eunuchs came over with two sacks on their shoulders.The prince opened the sack with his own hands, "Huang Ama, this is a foreign product that I got from my ninth brother. The yield of this sweet potato is very high, and it doesn't jump the place. The inferior field can produce a hundred catties Erchen and the fourth brother have been studying for two years, and all the research is written here."

"In addition, this bag is called corn, which is also a product of Fanbang. If you eat too much sweet potato, it will cause heartburn. This corn has no side effects at all. It's just that compared with sweet potato, its output is slightly less, but it is much higher than wheat and rice. The last one is called potatoes, Erchen thinks potatoes are a magical species, steamed potatoes can fill the stomach as a staple food, and can also be made into dishes.”

Kangxi stood up abruptly, because he was so eager that he almost took the stool under his crooked buttocks.Walking down quickly, he took out what the prince said one by one from the sack, with joy that could not be concealed on his face.

"Is this thing really as good as you say?"

It has always been his dream to keep the people from starving, and he has been working hard for this.In the Changchun Garden, there is a place he opened up alone, where wheat and rice are planted, and every year he goes there to plant and harvest in person.

If what the prince said is true, the Qing Dynasty will be in another situation.

The fourth elder brother also stood up, "Huang Ama, I have been studying with the prince for two years, that is, the time was ripe last year, otherwise I would not have brought it out."

Corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes were all obtained by him from Xiaojiu according to the suggestion of the Weilan star in the live broadcast room.He also made a lot of these things that can satisfy his hunger, as well as red pepper and other condiments.

Since he got these things out, the third brother and the sixth brother didn't say anything, the eldest brother would rather go around and go to his house to eat.The fourth elder brother is very confident about these.

Elder Brother Shi came out from behind, "Huang Ama, let me tell you, that potato is shredded and cooked with chili, it tastes sour and hot." He licked his lower lip as he spoke. It seems to be the taste of shredded potatoes.

Shaking his head amusedly, Kangxi waved his hand, "Okay, let the imperial dining room make potato shreds tonight."

Old Ten is really a foodie, but he also has a big appetite, so he will definitely not recommend bad food.

Kangxi's mind was occupied by these crops given by the crown prince, and he didn't even look at the gifts from the elder brother and others later on. He just nodded when the elder brother finished speaking to show that he was listening.

It wasn't until the fourth elder brother gave a red coral that he raised his head, "If I remember correctly, fourth brother, this is the third gift you gave tonight, right?"

The singing and dancing with the brothers, the crops given to the prince, and now a red coral that is one person tall, is the fourth brother planning to evacuate the family property in the house?

The fourth elder brother shook his head, "Huang Ama, those ministers didn't put much effort into those crops, they just took over the land for the prince to plant. The management and harvest are all taken care of by the prince himself, so in a strict sense, he can't be regarded as a son. Minister."

It is definitely a great achievement to get the crops out. If you can meet them, whoever is responsible for this matter will definitely increase their reputation.He was foolish enough to embrace something like this that would be appreciated by the common people.

The most suitable people for this kind of thing are the emperor and the prince.

The author has something to say: I thought this chapter could be finished, but in the end...
