The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Fourteenth brother's 17th birthday doesn't want to be a big deal. He is enough to show off during the New Year. Who did Huang Ama give so much lucky money?

It was given to him alone.

Now seizing the heir is a mess, and the brothers are starting to fight for power.

The competition between the elder brother and the prince has become fierce.

The brothers also started to think about it one after another. Since Huang Ama divided everyone into errands last year, the situation in the court has become even more muddy.

The fourteenth elder brother only thought of holding a big birthday party when his head was flooded.

But if he doesn't do it, it doesn't mean that others are as low-key as him.

Not to mention how many officials sent gifts to his Baylor Mansion outside, but inside the palace, on the ninth day of the first lunar month, the crown prince invited his brothers to Yuqing Palace to discuss matters in the name of celebrating his birthday.

If the crown prince held a banquet by himself, it is estimated that very few people would go there.

But he is in the name of the fourteenth elder brother, which makes people have to go. The fourteenth elder brother has made them a lot of money this winter. The main reason is that he makes money and has Huang Ama's permission. Twenty shares belonged to Kangxi, and ten shares belonged to the Empress Dowager. Although the women in the palace did not participate, none of them gave birth to a son, including the youngest eighteen elder brothers. .

And Kangxi's concubine, Gao Shi, was already pregnant.

Gao is a concubine whom Kangxi now favors. She is the daughter of Gao Tingxiu, a grassroots citizen in Zhengding Prefecture, Zhili. Her maiden name is Gao Zaiyi.

Otherwise, how could a grass-roots daughter enter the palace?

If this woman gave birth to a son, she would be ranked nineteenth. If another woman in the harem gave birth to a son, twenty would not be impossible!

In fact, Kangxi had 24 sons who survived in the end, just like the 24 solar terms, with hundreds of grandsons and thousands of great-grandsons.

Absolutely lush!

There are also twenty or thirty daughters.

The other dry shares reserved by the fourteenth elder brother are reserved for these younger brothers. He remembers that the brothers in the future can be ranked more than 20, so he reserved twenty dry shares without points. He took all the money and planned to pay off the debts for the brothers in the future.

But he didn't want to make a big deal at this time, but the crown prince used his birthday as a raft and insisted on celebrating the fourteenth elder brother's birthday.

It made these brothers a little unhappy when they came.

But Elder Fourteen also understands that no matter whether he is willing or not, since the Crown Prince wants to use him as a raft, there is no room for him to refuse.

What's more, this post has been posted, if they don't go, it's because they don't give the prince face.

So, everyone is here.

Even the youngest [-]th elder brother came. As soon as he came, he went to the [-]th elder brother. The [-]th elder brother saw that he was the youngest, so he hugged him and played with him. There were also the seventeenth and sixteenth elder brothers beside him. And fifteen elder brothers.

These little elder brothers are very lively together.

The eighteenth elder brother also brought a birthday gift to the fourteenth elder brother, a five-two-weight golden birthday peach: "I wish the fourteenth elder brother be as blessed as the East China Sea, and live longer than Nanshan."

"Your fourteenth brother, I am only 17 years old. When I am 70 years old, you will say that again!" The fourteenth brother was happy: "Change the birthday greeting."

Brother Eighteen thought for a while: "Then Gong Xi Fa Cai? Everything goes well?"

"This is a New Year greeting!"

"Happy New Year?"

"New Year's greetings."

How old is eighteen elder brother?There will be such a few auspicious words, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "There is today every year, and today every year."

"Are you sure, every year after your fourteenth elder brother celebrates his birthday, the crown prince will organize it for me in the East Palace?" The fourteenth elder brother stared at the eighteenth elder brother in his arms.

Even though he was still young, the eighteenth elder brother could tell that his fourteenth elder brother was not very happy.

The eighteenth elder brother stuck out his tongue: "Then I wish you all the best, there are no other words!"

The fourteenth elder brother laughed: "Next year, remember not to repeat this year's words."

A group of little elder brothers were very happy, but they were in harmony.

They are not very old, and no one is willing to talk to them.

A few older brothers over there, the atmosphere is not so good.

On the surface, they are laughing at each other, but in fact they speak with guns and sticks, making insinuations.

The crown prince is full of airs, but he can't restrain these brothers from uniting to deal with him. He feels that his position is getting more and more hanging.

On the side of King Zhijun, eighth elder brother, ninth elder brother and tenth elder brother stood together.

The third brother does not help each other, and speaks with a sour tone of a literati.

The fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother stood by the prince's side; the fifth elder brother and the third elder brother stood together, which meant being alone.

But it's impossible to say that the third elder brother didn't have any thoughts. The big elder brother and the prince were unlucky, but it showed him.

The seventh elder brother was forcibly pulled over by the third elder brother and became a fence sitter.

The remaining twelfth elder brother followed the fourteenth elder brother and took care of the younger brothers together.

They were fighting secretly, but on the surface they were friendly. Kangxi also sent someone to reward the two tables.

Bird's nest mushroom, red and white duck stewed cabbage, bad duck letter goose palm, onion and pepper roast chicken, hanging goose, bird's nest and lotus seed soup, braised yam, stewed venison, stir-fried winter bamboo shoots, Shanzhen fried shredded pork, Dongpo pork, Vinegar-flavored duck waist... It can be said that Kangxi's royal banquet table is definitely up to standard.

And they are all the things that the fourteenth brother likes to eat, and there are a lot of bird's nest and venison.

Especially the duck kidneys simmered in vinegar, which is absolutely tonic!

This dish is not common, a dish of at least twenty duck kidneys.

The staple food is golden flower steamed buns and silver silk rolls.

But he gave the fourteenth elder brother [-] catties of silver noodles alone.

Then came the bone soup noodles made by the imperial chef, now in the small kitchen of Yuqing Palace, served with poached eggs, one elder brother a bowl.

The fourteenth elder brother ate the noodles happily and said: "Brother Prince, my younger brother doesn't eat alone, so I borrowed the treasure land of Brother Prince, and I will cook a bowl of noodles for you in Yuqing Palace, treat it as my younger brother's treat. "

He also asked the Imperial Dining Room to prepare silver noodles and cook a bowl for these people, treating them as his treats, thanking them for their hard work.

"Okay, listen to the fourteenth brother, who is the birthday star." The crown prince smiled on the face, but his heart vomited to death. What he wanted to see was that he would respond to every call, and these younger brothers had to submit to him.

But now it seems that, except for the fourth child, no one else cares too much.

Even Brother Fourteen, the birthday star, just toasted him a glass of wine alone, and then there was nothing else!

The fourteenth brother is now a golden doll, and the speed of making money is very fast, not much slower than the ninth brother.

The share given to him is the same as that of other elder brothers. He intends to let elder brother fourteen give way more, but it is hard to say, after all, elder brother fourteen is too involved in this transaction, and one hair will affect his whole body , especially with the shares of the emperor and empress dowager.

It was as if he had done something, but it didn't work out.

Fortunately, he also has a second purpose, which is Kangxi's Longevity Festival.

"Brothers, and elder brother, I can't help but think of Huang Ama when I saw my fourteenth brother celebrate his birthday." The prince finally found an opportunity after singing and dancing to celebrate his birthday. , opened Jinkou: "Next year is Huang Ama's fiftieth birthday, how should we celebrate the Longevity Festival?"

This question is very ingenious, no matter who comes up with a good idea in the end, the leader is the crown prince after all, and any benefits will be shared with him. This is a guaranteed profit.

Rumor has it that he is also a filial prince.

The filial piety of others is always one step behind him.

The fourteenth elder brother and the fourth elder brother looked at each other with a few people away, and their hearts were like a mirror. Since the loss of Hesheli and Suo'etu, the prince has become smarter and more careful.

He didn't dare to be top-notch in this kind of thing.

I was afraid that if I made a mistake, I would make a bad impression on Kangxi.

Or it made Kangxi angry, making his crown prince even more insecure.

"His Royal Highness said that it is past noon in fifty days, and Huang Ama is already 50 years old." The fourth elder brother supported this, but he was not satisfied with the prince's use of fourteen as a raft.

The elder brother said loudly: "Huang Ama's fiftieth birthday, everyone is talking about it, what should I do? This king suggests a big deal!"

What he said was choking enough, and it was equivalent to taking away half of the crown prince's credit.

Not to celebrate generously, why would the crown prince take the fourteenth elder brother as a raft and call everyone to Yuqing Palace?

If he didn't do it for the sake of big trouble, the crown prince wouldn't condescend to his dignity and speak so politely.

King Zhijun has also learned to be smart, and his words are strong enough. The fourteenth elder brother and the fourth elder brother looked at each other again, and the fight started.

"It's definitely going to be a big deal, but how to do it, we have to discuss and come up with a charter." The eighth brother said.

Although the third elder brother is the king of Chengjun, he still does not change the sour aura of the literati: "I think it is better to let the civil and military officials write a eulogy, bind it into a book, and publish it all over the world."

"That's not right, what's a fu?" Eldest brother directly objected: "It's not grand enough! If you want me to tell you, just perform a martial arts show to show my bravery in the Qing Dynasty."

The eighth elder brother echoed the elder brother's words: "The elder brother is right."

Although on the surface, it is the crown prince and the king of Zhijun who are fighting, but in fact, the crown prince, the king of Zhijun and the king of Chengjun are competing for the right to host, to see who can monopolize the benefits of this grand ceremony.

So the elder brother wants to hold a grand military performance, which is actually the ancient version of the military parade.

The third brother wants to do literature, and thinks that only books can be passed down for thousands of years. After reading "Three Hundred Tang Poems", the opening chapter is "Xinggong". Is it really because Yuan Zhen's poems are the best?

No, it is because of the deep meaning of this poem, which is about court affairs, and the last sentence, no matter what mistakes the emperor made, the palace people can only sit around and talk about Xuanzong instead of scolding Xuanzong.

But the prince hasn't expressed his opinion yet!

The fourth elder brother waited for the crown prince to speak, but the crown prince did not speak. As the prince's diehard loyalist, it was not convenient for him to speak.

I couldn't help but look at the prince several times.

But the crown prince made it clear that he wanted to stand on the dry shore, he just sat back and enjoyed the benefits, and he was not willing to take risks at all, so he didn't say a word.

The fourth elder brother is not very satisfied with this, the crown prince is so timid, he has no airs of a prince at all, not to mention it is their Huang Ama's birthday!

How many fiftieth birthdays can you have in your life?

Huang Ama is so kind to the prince, how could he be like this?It's so chilling.

Even if you say a few words, that's fine!

The eldest brother had a dispute with the third elder brother, and the other brothers also expressed their opinions, and it was all a mess.

The fourteenth elder brother yawned. When the eighteenth elder brother ate just now, he was fed egg custard and birthday noodles by the fourteenth elder brother.

Now that he has eaten and drank enough, he feels sleepy. He is hugged, coaxed, and relaxed by the fourteenth elder brother. He is about to sleep, but when they make noise, the child can't sleep well.

Fourteen is also sleepy, what is there to say about this kind of thing, they are all blushing, but it is meaningless.

Although the crown prince is soft on outsiders, he is ruthless to his own people, especially the fourteenth elder brother who is not clearly on his side. Even though the fourth elder brother is there, he is still worried about the fourteenth elder brother.

Brother Fourteen's favor made him particularly jealous, and he also noticed Kangxi's protection of Fourteen, especially the secret protection, which made the crown prince jealous.

He was very happy to see the elder brother and the third elder brother arguing endlessly, but it is not an option to continue arguing like this. If there is no result after discussing today, it is useless for him to use the fourteenth elder brother's birthday to call everyone up.

After letting them go, they still had to stick together, and he didn't know what good solution they thought of, so it would be hard to take credit for it in the future.

He didn't have any confidence in taking other people's knife, but Shisi, he didn't care about the feelings of the fourth elder brother, so he saw Shisi opened his mouth and yawned, so he said, "Shishi, today you are the birthday star, and Huang Ama loves you the most , seeing that you are so stable, you must have a draft, why don't you tell me and listen to it?"

The fourth elder brother said with a cold face: "Prince, Fourteen..."

"Needless to say, the fourth son, the fourteenth is old, and he will be seventeen after his birthday, so he should have his own ideas." feelings.

The fourth elder brother clenched his hand under the table, turning it into a fist.

Fourteenth elder brother didn't expect the crown prince to be so shameless, he pinched the persimmon softly.

Others also looked at Elder Fourteen, and Elder Fourteen snorted heavily: "Sincere is still young, and he is also a birthday star, why should the Crown Prince be so aggressive!"

He did say something fair, but unfortunately, the third elder brother didn't think so: "Since I knew how to open his hot pot restaurant to make money, what good idea can I have? Treat guests to hot pot?"

It is true that the hot pot chain stores are very profitable, but the third elder brother thinks it is degrading. If Huang Ama hadn't asked, he would not want to participate.

And because the hot pot restaurant is very lively, even the private room is not quiet, and he has to cook the hot pot by himself, and the food is also a mess of everything, without any taste, he is more willing to eat in a place like the VIP building Membership.

Seeing these people firing at Fourteen, the fourth elder brother became even more unhappy: "Sisi has no idea, so let's hold Xiao Shiba and take a few younger brothers back for now."

"Brothers after all, we don't want us to bully Fourteen Baylor!" the eighth elder brother opened his mouth, and there was something weird about it, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother frowned.
