The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Later, the fourth elder brother drew three more butterflies on it, one colored and two bright yellow, very beautiful.

"There are flowers but no butterflies are not lively." This is the first sentence the fourth elder brother said to Yi Erha.

"Yes, this way, the picture is much richer." Ilha liked the three butterflies very much.

And the whole painting is indeed much more lively, and the colors are much richer, especially the golden color of the stamens, which glows in the sun, and the eyes of the three butterflies are also dyed with Tianzhu gold, only a little bit, but like It's like coming alive in an instant.

At this time, two children suddenly came through the gap in the table, which startled Ilha. Fortunately, he was well-bred and did not cry out.

What's more, these two children are called Si Age, one is called "Brother" and the other is called "Four Brother".

It's the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother.

The two little guys even looked at her a few times.

"I've seen the thirteenth brother, the fourteenth brother." Ilha's manners are good.

"Get up, the picture you drew?" Little Fourteen squatted there and took a look: "Brother, it looks beautiful!"

"Does the painting look good, or does the person look good?" Concubine De also came over, afraid that the two little ones would cause trouble, but in her opinion, this girl from the Ulanara family is a stable person.

"It's all pretty!" Little Fourteen smiled innocently and cutely: "Brother, it would be even better if you put a poem on the painting."

"Yes, write a poem!" Xiao Thirteen supported Xiao Fourteen.

Concubine De also looked at the fourth elder brother. If the fourth elder brother was satisfied, he would naturally write a poem on it. If he felt bad, he would refuse.

Yilha didn't understand the strangeness here, but he vaguely felt that it probably had something to do with him.

She couldn't help lowering her head, holding her breath, when she came to Yonghe Palace, many beautiful women looked at her enviously.

Although she is the youngest daughter of the family, she still cares about her marriage very much. Being able to be the prince Fujin is naturally much more prestigious than being the wife of someone else.

The fourth elder brother took a pen and wrote a small poem:

Flowers do not bloom together with hundreds of flowers, and independent hedges are not exhausted.

I would rather die by holding the incense stick, and never blow it down in the north wind.

Xiao Shisi read out this poem, his brother's handwriting was correct, fortunately it was not the blurred words, but it was in italics.

"Do you know whose poem this is?" The fourth elder brother put down his pen and asked his own brother.

"I know." Little Fourteen really knew it, shaking his head and said: "The "Cold Chrysanthemum" written by Zheng Sixiao in the Song Dynasty uses the cold chrysanthemum to express his ambition. This is a portrayal of Zheng Sixiao's national integrity, and it is also a tribute to his perseverance."

What the chrysanthemum expresses is the arrogance, nobility, and nobility of adhering to ideals and beliefs.It is to express the poet's own feelings like a chrysanthemum by using the technique of expressing one's will.

In other words, appreciation and analysis of Zheng Sixiao's poem on painting chrysanthemums is different from the general poems that praise chrysanthemums for their beauty, beauty, charm and unyieldingness. .

Although it is very thoughtful, but brother, what does this have to do with your blind date?

Shouldn't the more romantic the better at this time?

The first time you meet, you will talk to your future wife more seriously than sweet talk, right?

But Yi Erha thought it was good. Of course, Concubine De was even more happy: "My son is very ambitious, that's what a prince should be."

Then he sent his eldest aunt to send him back. Before leaving, Ilha said goodbye to him politely.

Then Concubine De went straight to a showdown with the fourth elder brother in front of the two children: "What do you think of Wulanara?"

"A very well-behaved person." This is the first impression of the fourth elder brother.

Ulanara is indeed a very well-behaved girl, and he still remembers the scent of fragrance he smelled when he got a little closer to the girl.

Faint, not smoky.

But has been lingering on the tip of the nose.

"This is your imperial ama, the concubine Fujin appointed for you. Who is her ama, do you know? Although the Wulanara family is not a common Manchu surname, it is also a family with a large number of talents." The news of Concubine De was very Well-informed, and after Emperor Kangxi took a fancy to her, she sent someone to investigate: "She is the youngest daughter of the family, and the two older brothers and one younger brother in the family are very promising, and the eldest brother is the general manager at Fengtai Daying. , the youngest brother is also famous for his studiousness, and I heard that he will take the entrance examination for children next year."

This family can't be said to be all-round in civil and military affairs, but it is true that there are people in both civil and military affairs.

In addition, Fei Yanggu can be regarded as a general who is highly valued by Emperor Kangxi. Although he is not a high-ranking official, it may be a sign that he is highly valued by the Lord Long Live.

Kangxi's rich experience is doomed that he cannot easily trust others!

In the Kangxi Dynasty, there were very few people who could hold military power, especially those who could hold tens of thousands of military power, and all of them were from Emperor Kangxi's own people.

What's interesting is that the thirty or fifty people who first grasped the huge military power were all haha ​​beads when Emperor Kangxi was young, which means to be companions and playmates.

These thirty or fifty people were said to be Haha Zhuzi at the beginning, but they were the ones who directly killed Oboi later.

And Fei Yanggu was one of them!

Concubine De told Si elder brother such an allusion to make him have a certain idea: "Your Huang Ama is the kind of person who misses old love."

"My son understands." The fourth elder brother knows that this first wife, whether he likes it or not, must be respected. If she has a good personality and gets along well, of course she will raise her eyebrows; if she doesn't get along, there is nothing she can do. Married wife.

There is another Yue family.

But when I met someone today, I felt that I should have a good personality and not be domineering.

Besides, no daughter-in-law who married into the royal family has a domineering personality, no matter whose daughter you are, you are a slave in front of the royal family!

On the other hand, Xiao Shisi was very satisfied with this sister-in-law. When eating at night, she was very happy to eat half a bowl of rice.

Of course, Xiao Shisan disliked her sister-in-law for not being pretty!

"Why do you have to be beautiful?" Little Fourteen didn't understand. Little Thirteen was good-looking, like a doll, with a melon-seeded face and fair skin, following Concubine Min.

"If you are good-looking, you will be favored. In the future, you and I will have a nephew early, and Niang De'er can also have a grandson." Xiao Shisan was a little dejected: "But she is just ordinary-looking."

"If you want to look good, I will give your fourth brother a good-looking one right now, isn't that enough?" Concubine De smiled and told her eldest aunt: "Do you think there are any good-looking girls? They are two of the Song family. The human kind."

The Song family is also good-looking, but she is in good health, honest and cowardly. Concubine De thinks that the concubine's house should not be too sharp and forceful. In that case, the daughter-in-law will not be able to control the backyard.

"There is a beautiful girl, who is not of high birth, the Li family of the Han Army Banner, but she is petite and exquisite, with a lively and lovely personality."

"It's just her, send it to the fourth elder brother to make a princess." Concubine De's easy words decided the life of a beautiful girl.

Lee's?

Xiao Shisi thought about it. In the Qing court dramas he had watched, there seemed to be such a number one character.

The biggest memory point is that his brother had a daughter, the only daughter who lived to adulthood, and her mother was Li Shi, who was named Concubine Qi during the Yongzheng Dynasty.

This girl was relatively short-lived, and after finally growing up, she married Xingde of the Wulanara family. She was still a daughter of the clan at the time, not a princess, but a princess.

However, she died five years after her marriage. Yongzheng later ascended the throne and proclaimed her emperor, posthumously titled her "Princess Heshuo Huaike".

I remember that there was a novel written by Qingchuan, which was written based on her, and the most famous thing about Yongzheng, besides that he was the "emperor who copied the family", was that he robbed her because he had no daughter and could not marry the Mongolian nobleman. The brothers' daughters were brought up in the palace. Three to five years later, when these little girls grew up, they were conferred the titles of princesses, married and raised in Mongolia.

In the Qing Dynasty, it was called "Fumeng".

The "help" of "pacification" has always been married to Mongolia in the Qing Dynasty, and even Emperor Kangxi's most respected grandmother, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, came from Horqin, Mongolia, but the Qing Dynasty has always been on guard against Mongolia. This old cavalry traveled thousands of miles. Rivers, mountains, and even half of the world are peoples who herd sheep and herd horses. They have always been a little bit wicked. Now there is Galdan of Mongolia, who is constantly making troubles. Kangxi's three conquests of Galdan, this is the second time It's time to do it again to kill him!

Since the empress dowager of Xiaozhuang, although the empress dowager is also from Mongolia, she has no real name.

Kangxi is not her own son.

And in Kangxi's harem, although there are noble Mongolian women, they have never found anything!

There is not even a Mongolian woman who is a concubine. The most famous one is the noble daughter of the Horqin tribe in Mongolia. After entering the palace, she was just a concubine and was not favored by Kangxi. After three years in the palace, she directly moved to the Palace of Compassion , live with the empress dowager, not to mention pampering, it is impossible for Kangxi to recruit a concubine who lives in his aunt's palace, okay?

It didn't take long for more noble Mongolian women to enter the palace, because the atmosphere of life in the palace was completely different from that on the grassland, and they disappeared.

The Mongols are not fools, and so are the Fumeng princesses who married into Mongolia.

I can't, the princesses who are well raised in the palace, once they go to Mongolia, all of them will become crispy, and they will break when touched, right?

But how many princesses have died, the emperor still wants to marry his daughter, this is the price of Fumeng.

Therefore, when Yongzheng went to help Meng, it was not Yongzheng's own flesh and blood, but the adopted daughter of the clan, and those who died would be even faster.

To say that in the Qing Dynasty, one would rather be reincarnated as a concubine than to be a princess or princess of the clan, that would be a disaster!

In history, the reason why Li Shi, the concubine of Qi, was remembered by him was because Li Shi not only had a biological short-lived daughter, but also a biological son.

This biological son is Hongshi. There are very few descriptions of him in history, and in film and television works, this prince is also very out of line. The Eighth Emperor Uncle, Prince Lian, Aixinjue Luo Yinhu, if it weren't for the strict rules in the palace, and it is absolutely impossible for Li to have an affair with the eighth elder brother, who is this child's blood!

It is said that his elder brother Yongzheng also punished Hongshi very severely. He directly adopted him as the son of his political opponent Yunyu, who had been renamed, and blasted him out of the Forbidden City. , February, did the same to Hiroshi.

All in all, I just don't want this son!

His mother-in-law, Li Shi, was also implicated. Otherwise, with the identity of the old man in Qiandi, how could it be possible that he didn't even take care of anything in the harem when he was conferred the title of Concubine Qi?

Poor, but what's even more pitiful is his elder brother. He had only one daughter in his life, and he died early. He had three sons, and none of them became successful.

Concubine De saw that Xiao Shisi was in a daze again, so she couldn't help but hugged him and sat down next to her, Xiao Shisan also sat next to Xiao Shisi, touched Xiao Shisi: "He's in a daze again."

The thought in Xiao Shisi's heart flashed like an electric arc, but he yawned: "It's okay, I just have some ideas, forget it, Er Niang, find a good wife for brother, thank you Er Niang."

Concubine De smiled: "It will be fine when your brother gets married."

Now the princes are fighting in private, she knows it, but now the eldest prince has given birth to two daughters, but no son; the crown prince only has Shu Fu Jin, but no side concubine, nor any children.

The third elder brother, the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother got married together, which is considered a grand event. The Long Live Lord has such a big fanfare, but he has no intention of choosing a concubine for the crown prince.

In the previous dynasty, there was indeed a minister who wrote a letter to propose marriage to the crown prince, but the Lord Long Live ignored it.

In the next few days, Concubine De summoned a few more beautiful women, all of whom were from Manchurian families, rich and noble daughters.

After such a commotion, everyone is not sure which one is the candidate for the fourth elder brother's Fujin, and none of these rich and noble daughters came from small families, so they are definitely not candidates for being a side Fujin, let alone Shu Fujin Concubine room, even princess.

Many people in the harem were on the lookout, but no one dared to act.

It wasn't until October that Emperor Kangxi issued the imperial decree...that's right, it was "wholesale", because he gave hundreds of marriages to people in one go, so the imperial decree was naturally issued in batches.

Because there are too many imperial decrees, let's talk about "approval".

In the first batch, there were only three orders, the imperial edicts to grant marriage to the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother.

The second batch is 28, to bestow marriages on the royal relatives. This is the imperial decree for bestowing marriages only on the first wife.

The third batch is for the clan. Compared with the royal family, there are only a few dozen people, but the clan has more than 80 people who need to be married.

The fourth batch is some ministers, and there are more, but this is a method, because the draft is a method of controlling people created by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Kangxi.

Back then, the rulers were weak and the ministers were strong, so they had to use some means. They couldn't defend and attack the ministers from the front, but they could get stuck in people's backyards.

Even in order to prevent the ministers from "colluding", some discordant marriages were deliberately created, so that the marriage between the two families is like enmity.

Although there is no need to use that method now, Kangxi still feels it is necessary to hold everyone's backyard in his hands.

Everyone's children's marriage must be grasped.

And more than a dozen noble daughters of Manchu families with big surnames have all married out.

The third elder brother is married to the Dong E family, who is the daughter of Zhenghongqi Dutong and Yongqin Gong Dong E Pengchun;

The fourth elder brother is tied to the Ulanala family, and she is the daughter of Feiyangu, the commander of the nine admirals and the minister of the interior;

And the fifth elder brother Yinqi's concubine Fujin, who has always been valued and cared by the empress dowager, has also decided to marry Ta La, the daughter of Yuanwailang Zhang Baozhu.
