The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

With the new sports, little Shisi lived very comfortably in the Changchun Garden, and did not fail in his studies. The fourth elder brother was very satisfied.

The second is all kinds of play. Even Kangxi couldn't help asking him: "Why do you love to play so much?"

"Because little fourteen is going to the study next year, and he has to get up very early. From then on, he has put on the magic spell like his grandson monkey, and can no longer be lazy. While my son is still young, I want to play more " Little Fourteen seriously put on a baby face of sadness: "I won't be so free in the future! Unless the minister grows up and leaves the palace to divide the mansion, in that case, we will be separated from Huang Ama and Huang Ama. Er Niang is far away, separated by a high palace wall, she has to report when she enters and exits, then the imperial palace is no longer Xiao Shishi's home, but the mansion outside is, and when the time comes, she will marry a wife and raise children... "

Originally, Kangxi and Concubine De were very sad when they heard what Xiao Shisi said. They felt that their son was getting older, his wings were hardened, and he flew out of the nest.

But later on, Xiao Shishi began to plot against his wife and children, which made people laugh and cry: "You are so young, you want to marry a wife?"

"Brother is going to marry a wife. After ten years, it's time for me to marry a wife." Little Fourteen sighed inwardly.He is not interested in women!

But it's hard to say it out, so I have to hold back and pretend to be cute.

After making fun of Kangxi and Concubine De, he let Xiao Shisi go out to play with Xiao Shisan, but the two emperors and concubines talked about Si elder brother's marriage.

Concubine De's request was clearly stated: "As long as you are in good health, you can give birth easily. You know that the fourth child's health is not very good. When the concubine gave birth to him, he was still young and ignorant. , this child is living in a dilemma, if not for Empress Xiaoyi's strict supervision, I don't know if I can grow up."

Kangxi also felt a little sad.

At that time, children kept dying in the palace, one after another. Before the elder brother, four elder brothers died, two of them were dead, and none of them survived, so that Kangxi had to send the eldest son to the minister Fostered at home, I turned around and cleaned the entire palace over and over again!

I don't know how many ghosts and monsters died, and how many ghosts and monsters were wiped out. Even, in his palace, as long as women are in the banner, and they have tossed out drafts and marriages with the emperor, they suppressed this unhealthy trend.

The prince elder brother in the back, princesses were born safely and grew up healthy.

The ability of those nuns to raise children was slowly discovered by his sons and daughters. Do you really think they will be able to do it as soon as they come?

The nuns who raised the children also died that year.

"Okay, I promise you, I will definitely choose a daughter-in-law who is virtuous and good-natured." Emperor Kangxi nodded in agreement with Concubine De: "Don't worry."

"I'll leave everything to the Lord Long Live, and the daughter-in-law of the young fourteen will be blessed in the future." The older brothers above, if the daughter-in-law is not good, the future daughter-in-law of the younger brothers below will be guilty Accepted.

Concubine De's meaning was obvious, the eldest daughter-in-law had to choose carefully, while the youngest daughter-in-law could do whatever she wanted.

Emperor Kangxi laughed. If Concubine De's two daughters-in-law had to choose each other carefully, Emperor Kangxi would definitely not be happy, but she didn't make too much progress, which satisfied Emperor Kangxi.

The summer passed like this, and after the Hungry Ghost Festival on July [-]th, the people in Changchun Garden began to pack their things, because Emperor Kangxi issued an oral order to return to the Forbidden City in Luan on August [-]th.

Xiao Shisi was also packing up, but the maids and eunuchs around him were busy. He was not busy, but he brought a small gift and gave it to their swimming master, Hao Siwen, together with Xiao Shisan.

There are not many gifts, they are indeed small gifts, but the things in the palace, no matter how simple they are, are still good things.

Because the other party was considered a "martial master", Xiao Shisan gave Hao Siwen a pair of fine steel Fen Shui Emei thorns.

According to legend, "Emei thorn" is a kind of short combat weapon used in ancient water warfare. It can be used for assassination in water or diving into the bottom of a ship to pierce the bottom of a ship, so it is also called Fenshui Emei thorn.

Although it was later changed to land application, the world of this thing is in the water.

It is said that this weapon was originally invented by a monk in Emei Mountain, so it is called "Emei thorn".

This thing was found by Xiao Shisan on purpose, and its two ends are thin and flat, diamond-shaped and sharp.The shape is like a gun head; the middle is thick, there is a round hole in the middle, and an iron nail is riveted on it. The nail can rotate flexibly in the hole. The nail is connected in series with a set of finger rings.

Hao Siwen tried it out at that time, holding one in each of the left and right hands, and putting the ring on the middle fingers of both hands. When the fingers are clenched tightly, they can perform movements such as blocking, piercing, piercing, picking, pushing, hinge, and buckle, and release them with open hands. Sometimes you can use the strength of the wrist and the movement of the fingers to make a quick palm-to-palm rotation in the hand to confuse the opponent. At the same time, with various steps, bodywork, footwork balance, jumping and other movements, the whole set of movements is like flowing clouds and flowing water. Usually, Xiao Shisan is very happy.

And Xiao Shishi gave him a dagger, a shark-skin dagger sheath, with an elastic tendon belt on the outside, which can be tied to the thigh, not to mention whether it is elastic or not, when you use it, you can just take it out and use it , the dagger is small and exquisite, and a sapphire is inlaid on the handle of the dagger.

"I still have one, and mine is inlaid with emeralds, hehehe, we each have one!" Little Fourteen said seriously: "We must not forget the two of us in the future, Master Huswen. "

"The slave will not forget the two young masters!" Hao Siwen said very seriously: "The slave will bring the gift of the two with him."

This pure teacher-student friendship is very simple and beautiful, so the three of them cherish it very much.

Apart from these two weapons, the gift also included ten taels of silver and two bolts of palace satin, which was quite simple.

However, after August [-]th, Xiao Shisi returned to the Forbidden City with the main force, and had no chance to see this swimming coach, the misnamed Irgenjue Luoshi Heswin.

And as soon as she returned to the palace, Concubine De became busy. The draft maids entered the palace as early as early spring. According to the rules, after the primary and secondary elections, the maids will live in the palace for a full month. Go home, and then you can marry yourself.

And the show girls who have passed the third selection will live in the palace for a full year. Such show girls are called "little masters", which means that these show girls are good-looking and have a prominent family background. Those who are paired by the nobles may stay in the palace to serve the Lord Long Live, or they may be given marriages, and they are more likely to be matched with clan children.

But even better is tied marriage!

The so-called tied marriage means that the marriage is not decided by the person himself, but by others.

Others here are not "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker" in the traditional sense. For the Manchus, because of the existence of the Eight Banners organization, the marriage of the children of the Eight Banners must be approved by the management department of the Eight Banners. ", otherwise it will not work!

In addition to the "yellow belt", the tied marriages bestowed by the Long Live Lord are the princes and elder brothers.

Yellow belt is another name for the imperial family in the Qing Dynasty. In the first year of Emperor Taizong Chongde of the Qing Dynasty, it was stipulated that all the clans below the prince should wear golden belts to show their status, so they are called "yellow belts".

And "red belt" is the name of the descendants of the offshoot of the royal family in the Qing Dynasty.In the Qing Dynasty, Takshi, the father of Taizu Nurhachi, was called the Dazong, and his direct descendants were called the clan; and the descendants of his uncles and brothers were called Jueluo.

According to the regulations of the Qing government, the royal family wears yellow belts around their waists, and Jueluo wears red belts around their bodies to show their special status.Therefore, the clan is also commonly known as the yellow belt, and Jueluo is called the red belt.But in comparison, Jueluo's blood is farther away.

The Manchu population is small. Although it has been almost a hundred years since they entered the customs, the development of the population has always been a slow job.

But every draft is always busy, not only busy asking and bestowing marriages to the clan, but also busy looking for a daughter-in-law this time.

What Kangxi revealed was that this time, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, and the fifth elder brother should marry together in one go, and choose Fujin as the heir.

Candidates for the three emperor elder brothers' heir Fujin will be selected from this batch of beautiful girls.

The third elder brother's mother-in-law Rongfei Ma Jiashi jumped up and down. She wanted to choose a rich family and a prominent family background for her son. After all, she was quite special. She was the first to give birth to Kangxi's son. One was born and the other died. Before the third elder brother, three elder brothers were born, but none of them kept them. Finally, the third elder brother was brought up. Concubine Rong valued this son very much.

The fourth elder brother's concubine Erniang Defei is bothering her, she only asks people to ask how the beautiful girls look like?Instead of picking and choosing.

The fifth elder brother's biological mother is Concubine Yi, but Eleventh elder brother is about to die again, Yifei is not in the mood to find a daughter-in-law, not to mention fifth elder brother's marriage, if she wants to intervene, she has to look at the empress dowager Happy or not.

After all, the fifth elder brother Yinqi grew up in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and the Empress Dowager also cared a lot about his marriage.

These three elder brothers immediately became candidates for son-in-law in the eyes of many people.

Little Fourteen also wants to see what your beautiful girls look like?But Concubine De didn't let her go!

"You're still young, what are you looking for? Go read a book!" These were De Fei's original words.

However, Xiao Shisi took advantage of Concubine De's control over him, and went to see Elder Brother Shisan together, went to Concubine Yi to see Elder Brother, Shisan Gege, and then ran to Ci Ning Gong greeted the old queen, took a look at Wu Gege, and gave them some small gifts.

After going around in a circle, the two of them took a nap and got up to eat some snacks. They had nothing to do and didn't want to read a book. Xiao Shishi suggested to visit Qianqing Palace: "We have grown up so much, we have never been there, and we will go soon." I'm going to be six years old, and I'm going to the imperial gate to listen to the government, and I don't even know what it looks like in front of me!"

"Then let's go and have a look!" Xiao Shisan was tempted by Xiao Shishi's words.

These two little elder brothers are now accompanied by more than 20 people, all of them are eunuchs, court ladies and eldest aunts. The two children are going to the front, and they can't stop them. Concubine De is not in the palace. "The tiger is not at home, the monkey is the king", These two little ones led people forward directly.

The two little elder brothers arrived at the Qianqing Palace in front of them smoothly.

The Yuehua Gate outside the Qianqing Palace is diagonally opposite the Zunyi Gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation across the West Chang Street. Entering from the Zunyi Gate is a long and narrow courtyard. .

In the middle of the north courtyard wall of the courtyard is the Yangxin Gate. The Yangxin Gate is a glazed gate tower with yellow glazed tiles on the top of Xieshan Mountain, and on both sides are Suishan Shadow Walls, red walls, yellow tiles, and golden nails and vermilion fans.

In front of Yangxin Gate, there are a pair of gilt bronze lions and a pair of copper street lamps.

Entering from the Mental Cultivation Gate, there is a glazed screen wall on the east and west sides of the palace wall, the east and west side halls behind it, and the Yangxin Hall to the north.There are also east and west enclosures around the entire palace.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is I-shaped as a whole, and is divided into the front hall and the back hall.

The front hall has a wide face, three rooms in each depth, and a Baosha in front.

The square in front of the Qianqing Palace is very large, and there is no covering object. The two little ones are walking forward with arrogance, followed by a lot of little tails. It is difficult for people not to see it!

Li Dequan is on duty today.

He has good eyesight, these two little elder brothers are not familiar with him, so he had no choice but to go in and tell the Lord Long Live that the two little elder brothers brought people to Qianqing Palace!

"Is there something wrong?" Emperor Kangxi was reading the memorial and didn't even lift it.

"I didn't see it. I'm going to ask this servant. The two little elder brothers have never been to the front!" Come to Qing Palace?

Most likely they came here to play, these two are masters who have visited the harem all over.

"Go and ask!" Kangxi didn't think there was anything serious about the two children, so he had to come to Qianqing Palace to find him, Huang Ama.

As expected, Li Dequan ran out. At this time, the two young elder brothers had already arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace, looking at the strict gate inside, they didn't move their short legs in a daze.

Still seeing Li Dequan coming, the two young men ran over, each hugging his thigh: "Li Wenda!"

The childish voice made Li Dequan's heart soften: "Greetings to the two little elder brothers, what are you two?"

"Come and play with Huang Ama!" Little Fourteen probed his head and said, "I've never been to Qianqing Palace, I'm curious! And next year we will be old enough, and Yumen will be in charge of politics. Well, when we are in charge of politics, Li Huang Is Ma Yuan? Can you hear Huang Ama speak?"

"You will know this when the time comes. Lord Long Live already knows that the two little elder brothers are coming. Why don't you go in and say hello to Lord Long Live?" Li Dequan said with a smile: "Master Long Live asked the two younger elder brothers if there is something to do. ? Since it is not, then go in and have a look, so as not to worry about Long Live Lord."

"Okay!" The two nodded and followed Li Dequan, followed by a string of tails.

But they didn't go to Qianqing Palace, but went to Yangxin Palace,

To the east of Qianqing Palace is the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Their little tails did not enter the gate of Mental Cultivation, but stood on the aisle between the Gate of Mental Cultivation and the west gate of the Palace of Celestial Purity.

After the two young elder brothers entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation and greeted their Ama Huang, Kangxi raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Is there something you want to see Ama Huang?"

"I just came to see Huang Ama. Erchen and Brother Shisan have never been here before." After Xiaosi got up, he immediately raised his face and said: "Come here to see Huang Ama, and take a look at it by the way." Look at Ganxi's elder brother, he will move to live in the palace next year."

He still doesn't know what his future nest will be like.

Xiao Shisan also wanted to see it.
