The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

At this time, the two of them realized that the atmosphere between the brothers had reached the point where the tip of a needle was facing each other, and they might not be able to make peace in it.

Elder Fourteen raised his head and looked around with sleepy eyes. A group of elder brothers were also looking at him, so he smiled: "I have a good proposal, and I guarantee that all brothers will be satisfied!"

"The tone is not small." The crown prince smiled and said: "It can satisfy all of us. What kind of coup is this idea?"

He didn't believe that there was any way to satisfy them all.

Are you dreaming?

The fourth elder brother also thinks that Fourteen is talking nonsense, probably a bad idea, right?

He was really afraid that Fourteen would make a fuss regardless, but he knew that this younger brother would take the soft but not the hard, and they were so aggressive, if Brother Fourteen didn't resist, he wouldn't be the younger brother he grew up with.

"Then old Fourteen, tell me, what good idea do you have?" The third elder brother was willing to give Fourteen this chance.

Because he found that he and the boss, a reckless man, couldn't go together.

And there is another point, when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain it!

"I guarantee that you guys like this idea." Elder Fourteen smiled, "First of all, big brother's proposal for performing martial arts is not bad."

"Huh?" Third elder brother's face fell down instantly.

"Listen to me!" Brother Fourteen said in his heart that I can't argue with you, and I won't faint you with ridicule, isn't it just lip service?Seeing that I'm not fooling you, let's trick the prince again: "First of all, big brother's suggestion of Yan Wu is very good, we should not forget our ancestors, the style of bravery, so we must have martial arts!"

The elder brother was proud, and the eighth elder brother frowned.

"So I can arrange the performance of the elder brother." The fourteenth elder brother talked eloquently: "Our emperor Ama is both civil and military. With the performance of martial arts, we must also have literary affairs, right? So the "Ode to the Holy Fu" of the third brother, It can also be edited!"

"Then..." The crown prince is not happy, the boss has martial arts, the third has "Ode to the Holy Fu", what does he have?

"In this prosperous civil and military age, it seems that Huang Ama has a good governance!" The fourteenth elder brother said: "The celebration must be grand, and when the time comes, we will invite a thousand old people who are the same age as Huang Ama to the banquet to celebrate together The significance of Huang Ama's [-]th birthday is to practice filial piety, build a communication platform for family affection, and create a festive atmosphere. Strengthen friendly neighbors, family and other relationships... "

When he went on a trip back then, the tour guide would fool this group of people no matter what he said.

In addition, it is not only for meals, but also for the elderly who come to the banquet, pick up and drop off by car, give gifts and so on.

I remember that the Kang family only held the Thousand Seniors Banquet in 52, but he can do it in advance!

One time for the [-]th birthday, one time for the [-]th birthday, one time for the [-]th birthday, and one time for the [-]th birthday. As long as Kangxi is alive, he will do it!

This is a good idea, everyone has a share, Yanwu and "Ode to the Holy Fu" are presided over by King Zhijun and King Cheng respectively.

Regarding the banquet, the crown prince directly undertook it himself without any shame: "Gu is the crown prince after all, fourteenth brother, what do you think?"

The crown prince looked at the fourteenth elder brother with bright eyes.

The fourth elder brother is very guilty. If it weren't for him, the fourteenth brother could have taken the credit for it.

It's a good thing now, the crown prince wants to take the credit, but he...he can't stop it.

"The prince is joking. Who doesn't know that the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is your daddy. He is in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You must be responsible for this matter." The fourteenth elder brother didn't want to take this job at all, so let's not talk about the credit. Well, this matter is too troublesome. The Ministry of Internal Affairs does not have a reliable person who monopolizes the power, so it cannot handle such a grand ceremony.

At that time, whoever trips him up, he will be unable to eat and walk away.

For such a big matter, it is still necessary to find someone with a big head to stand in front of it. Whose head is bigger than the crown prince's?

What's more, performing martial arts is not so easy to organize, the boss has some military power in his hand, and Huang Ama needs to let Huang Ama see his little military power.

Brother Fourteen can assure you that after this holy birthday, Big Brother will still be able to keep his little bit of military power, that's not necessarily the case!

So he happily gave the credit to the crown prince, and suggested: "For the rest, it's better for everyone to come up with a good idea, whether it's big or small, the most important thing is to make Huang Ama happy. Huang Ama worked hard and became the throne at the age of eight." , so far for forty years, how many ancient emperors have been in power for forty years?"

As soon as he said that, the crown prince smiled a little, but the smile on his face disappeared again.

He has been the prince for more than [-] years. Looking at the history, how many princes have been the prince for more than [-] years?

But Brother Fourteen's proposal did get everyone's approval. Who wouldn't want to stand out in front of Kangxi?

Others also made their own calculations.

His method really works, and he handed over the power to the crown prince. In name, the crown prince is indeed nobler than everyone else, so you should do something noble.

The fourteenth elder brother babbled, making everyone confused and satisfied, and everyone can go back.

The fourteenth elder brother sent the younger elder brothers back to the elder brother's place, and he followed the fourth elder brother out of the palace.

"Today, you have been wronged." The fourth elder brother patted the fourteenth elder brother's head, just like when he was a child.

"No, brother, don't think too much about it, I really don't want that credit." The fourteenth elder brother saw the unhappiness and guilt of the fourth elder brother, and quickly comforted him: "Think about it, this birthday banquet is not ordinary. The banquet, our relatives and uncles in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are not high-ranking officials, and they can't compete with Ling Pu. He holds great power and the crown prince is in the background. No less."

The fourth elder brother saw that the fourteenth elder brother was so calm and logical in his analysis, and felt even more guilty: "It's my fault, I'm not that strong..."

If he was more tyrannical, perhaps it would be his younger brother's credit, and he would not be forcibly taken away by the crown prince.

"Brother, you will become stronger in the future, and now we are just dormant." When the fourteenth elder brother separated from the fourth elder brother and went back to their respective homes, this is what he said to the fourth elder brother: "Let them fight in front."

The fourth elder brother kept thinking about this sentence and stayed up half the night.

The crown prince was also the one who stayed up half the night. He anxiously wrote this idea into a memorial, planning to tell Kangxi tomorrow.

As for Kangxi, his eyes and ears are everywhere in the palace, including the crown prince's Yuqing Palace, where the manpower has been changed three times.

How can Kangxi not know that the crown prince blatantly robs credit for such an unabashed banquet?

But he knew, but he couldn't say anything, just like what the fourteenth brother thought, if the fourteenth brother undertook the birthday banquet, then it would be too convenient for the prince to trip up the fourteenth brother.

If Shisi was really allowed to host the birthday banquet, it would be a big deal if something happened, and it would be out of control by then, and Shishi would be harmed instead.

"Fourteen Baylor doesn't mean to be unhappy at all?"

"No, Fourteen Baylor said that he provided fermented bean curd to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it will be eaten in a pot." Gu Chao said, "The king of Yongjun is very upset, but Fourteen Baylor advised him to go all the way, so he should be able to think about it."

"It's not that he can take it easy, it's Fourteen that can take it easy." Kangxi waved his hand: "Go down."

The prince has already done anything for fame and power.

Kangxi looked at the secret report from Jiangnan, and felt very uncomfortable.

Anyway, the next day is called Da Qier's day. Ever since the [-]th elder brother left the palace to build a mansion, called Da Qier never showed up, nor did he come to study in Shangshufang, anyway, Huang Ama didn't ask him Must learn rich five cars.

Sleep in your own mansion outside the palace until you wake up naturally.

Before breakfast was finished, Ma Lianying came: "Master, Nian Gengyao Nian Jinshi is here. You just left yesterday, but he came back, but he didn't see you."

The fourteenth elder brother was taken aback: "Come in, please. It's so early, Liang Gong hasn't eaten yet, right? Bring a pair of chopsticks."

Nian Gengyao did not leave the capital immediately after high school in September last year, and Jinshi had a one-to-three-month leave to return home.

It depends on the distance of the hometown where everyone's household registration is located.

Nian Gengyao's house is not far or near, at least he had a one-month vacation, but he didn't go back.

I only sent a letter back to the family, but the Nian family sent a steward, with two women, two servants, four regular servants, two big servant girls and four young servant girls, a total of fifteen people came to the capital. , and brought him 5000 taels of silver, as well as bedding and clothes.

He did not go back to his hometown, but the court servants went to announce the good news.

The Nian family's first official Jinshi from the imperial examination!

Nian Xiyao didn't get out of a serious class. He followed his father's old path, and taught the Tongzhi of Jingdong Prefecture, Yunnan Province by handwriting.

The place in Yunnan was not a rich place, not to mention that Jingdong Mansion belonged to Weichu Road in the Ming Dynasty.

The territory under its jurisdiction is equivalent to the east of the Lancang River in the central part of Yunnan Province, the west of Ailao Mountain, and the north of Zhenyuan County to Jingdong Yi Autonomous County.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, it was reduced to Jingdong Prefecture, and it was re-promoted as a government office in 17 years, belonging to the Chief Secretary of Yunnan.

The place is remote and the folk customs are tough.

The position of Tongzhi is the deputy of the magistrate. The official position of an acquaintance is not high or low anyway. In some places there are hundreds of acquaintances, but none of them come to work.

Ordinary Tongzhi are in charge of local salt, grain, catching robbers, river defense, sea frontier, river engineering, water conservancy, clearing up military registration, appeasing Sui people and barbarians, etc. The Tongzhi Office is called "Ting".

In addition, the deputy of Zhizhou is called Zhou Tongzhi. From the sixth grade, there is no fixed number of people, and he is in charge of all affairs in the state.

And Nian Xiyao's Tongzhi is the Zhou Tongzhi, from the sixth grade, but he doesn't care about the affairs of the state at all, and he can't control it. There is no three-foot-square backcountry, no wonder he later took refuge in Eighth Prince.

If you wait for yourself to climb up step by step, when will you have to wait?

Moreover, the state of the Qing Dynasty became more and more stable, and the background of the officials became higher and higher. After several imperial examinations, the court's reserve of talents became more and more abundant.

Now that Nian Gengyao is here, what's the matter?If he wanted to run for an official position, it would have been a little earlier, he had just won the Jinshi, and he didn't know how his superiors arranged it.

Just thinking about this, Nian Gengyao came in with a box in his hand: "My servant greets the Fourteenth Master. I hope you will forgive me for the late birthday."

Brother Fourteen was taken aback, he didn't expect Nian Gengyao to congratulate him on his birthday as soon as he came, and then he waved his hand: "I don't blame you, I entered the palace early yesterday morning and came back very late, you came here Matter, Ma Lianying said."

"Yes, I was late yesterday and I didn't make it in time. You left early, and you didn't see me after waiting for a whole day, and the gift was not delivered." Nian Gengyao put the gift in front of the fourteenth elder brother himself: "Mr. Take a look, this is the heart of the students."

When he was at his worst and most embarrassed, he met this Fourteen Baylor. He was very defensive. He didn't know what Fourteen Baylor liked in him, but he passed the exam, and now he has Jinshi, so he was almost assigned Where is it, he didn't go home, he wrote back to say that he met the favor of a nobleman, sure enough, the family immediately paid attention to him, and sent someone to take care of him, but unfortunately, he left the money and bought a small courtyard for The people who came stayed there, so he naturally used the people given to him by Master Fourteen.

Anyway, the person who came here didn't have the deed of prostitution in his hand, so he didn't feel at ease if he used it.

The fourteenth master's deeds of prostitution are all in his hands, so he is not afraid that they will be uneasy and kind.

What's more, he felt that these servants were more loyal and reliable than those sent by his second mother.

For the birthday of Fourteenth Master, he knew that on the ninth day of the first lunar month, he prepared a generous gift, but Mei was able to see Fourteenth Master, so he came early this morning to meet him.

"Let me see what gift Lianggong has prepared for the Lord?" Elder Fourteen opened the box and was immediately happy. Inside were twelve zodiac signs, the size of fingernails, made of gold, and worn as a bracelet, which was very flattering. cute.

In addition, there is a Maitreya Buddha carved from jade jelly, with the words "Laughing always open" on the seat.

There is also a gift list, which says the gift money is 100 taels, and I wish Fourteen Baylor a long life.

Twenty catties of silver silk longevity noodles, four bolts of Jiangnan silk, four bolts of Sichuan silk, and ten bolts of indigo-dyed floral cloth.

This is an extra gift, basically this kind of birthday gift, the fourteenth brother is used to reward the servants, or to make clothes for the people in the mansion.

The fourteenth brother put the bracelet on at that time: "This master likes it!"

Nian Gengyao was also happy: "I just thought you would like it, so I put it in the box, and the students brought it here. Please have a look at it yourself."

"Lianggong, sit down, didn't you have breakfast? I don't have so much trouble for breakfast, so sit down and have a meal." Elder Fourteen greeted Nian Gengyao: "Looking at you like this, you know that your face is radiant. How do you arrange it?"

"Not yet, the list will be released at the end of September. October, winter month and twelfth month are three months. Let everyone spend the first year at home. I guess if you want to make all the arrangements, what's the matter, it must be the first month, right? Arranged in February Now, March will be the Longevity Festival." Nian Gengyao said with a low eyebrow, "Students enter the second-tier class. If there is no accident, they will enter the Imperial Academy, observe politics, and then take the exam. There is no certainty about their future prospects."
