The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Kangxi pointed out that after the marriage, he planned to tour the south, and this time he did not plan to bring the crown prince, nor did he bring the king of Zhijun.

But I brought the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother.

They brought their four older elder brothers, and the youngest brought their seventeenth and eighteenth elder brothers.

I didn't bring the rest, and I didn't bring the empress dowager this time, because Kangxi seemed to be doing business.

The women in the harem only brought along a few low-ranking concubines, such as the Chen family and the Gao family, not even a nobleman. It was obvious that they were not here to engage in any lady diplomacy, and there were a few young and handsome people who agreed.

The soldiers did not take less.

Yujia's route was different from last time. The first stop they stopped was Shandong.

Moreover, he went to Qufu, and the place where he stayed was the Confucian Mansion!

Historically, Brother Fourteen didn’t know whether Kangxi had ever been to Confucian Mansion, he only knew that Qianlong had been there, and later because he came three times or twice?

In order to welcome the emperor, the Confucian government racked its brains to produce Confucian cuisine.

There is a low-key luxury in the simplicity.

But the Confucian government has not done that yet.

When they arrived, the Confucian Mansion just came forward to receive them and invited the holy driver to stay in the Confucian Mansion.

The Confucian mansion that the fourteenth elder brother saw was the one that had not been destroyed. It covered a large area, with high and deep walls, and the gates were strictly forbidden.

Most of the existing buildings were completed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, covering an area of ​​more than 300 mu, with nine courtyards in front and back.

It was built in the style of the Forbidden City in Beijing.

The Confucian Mansion in Qufu was rebuilt and expanded in the 16th year of Hongzhi, and it is indeed suitable for temporary residence.

And there is Kong Lin here, Kangxi personally went to pay homage to Confucius.

In addition, he pushed the third elder brother out. The third elder brother really likes to read and has a brilliant literary talent, so he is very popular among the scholars here.

In less than three days, it was publicized outside, saying that Cheng Baylor was a real literati.

Brother Fourteen didn't care about this kind of thing. He mainly took Xiao Shiba, changed his clothes, and went to eat snacks at the Confucian Temple near the Confucian Mansion.

Qufu Confucian Temple, also known as "Queli Zhisheng Temple", takes the former residence of Confucius as the temple and worships it every year.

Since the Western Han Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties have continued to confer posthumous titles on Confucius, and the scale of the Confucian Temple has also become larger and larger, becoming the largest Confucian Temple in the country.

In addition, Emperor Kangxi personally wrote the "Teacher of All Ages" plaque hanging in the Dacheng Hall.

And in front of the Confucian Temple, there is a temple fair all year round. There are a lot of people buying and selling things. Now that Shengjia is here, it is even more lively. If you are favored by a nobleman, it will be a step up to the sky!

The 30th elder brother is pulling the [-]th elder brother, followed by more than [-] people. Such a young master is followed by so many people when he goes out, and two of them are specially responsible for giving money.

Black tofu and sanzi are famous snacks in Qufu. The local pancakes in Qufu are also very famous. There are stuffed and unstuffed ones. The [-]th elder brother deliberately took the eighteenth elder brother out without breakfast, and the two let go Little belly, it's delicious to eat!

Brother Fourteen even saw it, and someone here actually sells fried stinky tofu!

There are also sesame plates, hanging stove biscuits, and hanging stove peanuts.

There is also a kind of porridge with mutton. The mutton has been cooked at home with various ingredients. According to the needs of customers, the boss cuts off the parts you like. Some people like mutton liver, while others like to eat delicate mutton.

As soon as the two brothers went out, they each ordered a bowl of mutton porridge for breakfast!

"Brother, I heard that there are fairy ducks here, can I eat them?" The eighteenth elder brother was thinking about some mysterious snacks.

"Yes!" Elder Fourteen waved his hand: "Let's go, find a restaurant and eat fairy duck."

"Brother, is this really a fairy duck?" Little Shiba misunderstood the name of the dish.

"No!" Elder Fourteen laughed, "This is a famous Shandong dish with a long history. According to legend, it was already a famous dish in the Confucian Mansion in the Ming Dynasty."

The method of this dish is also very complicated, and the requirements are strict. The steaming time is long, and it should be served immediately after steaming to maintain the umami taste. Start to light incense before steaming in a cage, and burn three sticks of incense together to mature. This method was discovered by a member of the near branch of the Kong family. He once served as the magistrate in Xuanzhou and appreciated this dish when he went to Qufu to worship his ancestors. , thinking that burning incense to make dishes is like worshiping gods, and later called this dish "fairy duck".

The fourteenth elder brother traveled here in his previous life, and also tasted the fairy duck at that time. To be honest, the taste is not bad, mainly because the ceremony of the production process is very interesting.

When they arrived at the restaurant, it was still early for lunch, but quite a few people had already arrived.

Fourteenth elder brother didn't care what it was for, he took little eighteen to want a private room, but there was no private room in such a big restaurant!

There are only private seats, facing the street by the window.

"Then the private seat is fine." The fourteenth elder brother was kind.

"But today, all the private seats by the window facing the street... have been booked out." The waiter in the shop was embarrassed: "Why don't you just settle in the lobby? The lobby is also very nice and lively!"

"Then let's go to the lobby!" Elder Fourteen was also helpless: "Why are there so many people coming to the store?"

"There is a literary meeting today, and all the scholars who came here." The waiter quickly took them to a quieter corner: "In addition, Sheng Jia is here, and these literati and refined scholars gather even more frequently." There are too many, today is the son of the governor of Shandong who has booked the venue on the second floor, otherwise I wouldn't have wronged a few of you."

The shop clerk said this because he didn't want to make the customers feel uncomfortable. If you want to resent, you should go to the governor.

"Give each of our tables a piece of fairy duck, a piece of mandarin duck chicken, braised elbow and Dongpo pork, and two other vegetarian dishes. By the way, there is another dish of tofu mixed with shallots and smoked tofu."

"Then what should I order as a staple food? There are hand-rolled noodles and fried buns." The waiter in the shop is very attentive.

"Shuijianbao, how do you sell it?"

"Twenty cents a piece, stuffed with pork and green onions, no vegetarian stuffing." The waiter said: "One pot of one hundred, you can pick up as much as you want."

"Let's have two pots, there are so many of us!" Elder Fourteen said generously, "You don't need the wine, just serve us plain water. We brought our own tea bags."

"Okay!" The shop waiter knew that he had met a bold customer, and with today's literary meeting, the back kitchen was not busy, so he hurried to order.

The back kitchen was very fast, and when it was time for the meal, their meals were also served.

Xiao Pingzi and the eighteenth elder brother's personal eunuch, Xiao Chazi, serve the two elder brothers for dinner.

"You two sit down and eat. You don't have to be restrained outside right now. I just need to take care of the eighteenth brother." The fourteenth elder brother brought food to the eighteenth elder brother.

"Thank you, Master." The two thanked each other before they dared to sit down, and when they ate, they only picked up the dishes in front of them.

On the other hand, Elder Eighteen looked at the dish in front of him with a sad face: "Elder Fourteen, I don't want to eat carrots."

"No, I have to eat it, or I will be blind in the future!" Elder Fourteen picked up several carrot slices for him: "Don't be picky eaters."

Brother Eighteen ate it in pain.

The fourteenth elder brother gave him another chopsticks of roasted eggplant.

"I don't want to eat eggplant either." Elder Eighteen frowned.

"Don't be picky eaters, as I said, eat!" Elder Fourteen was very strict.

The eighteenth elder brother killed the eggplant, and then the fourteenth elder brother picked up a piece of Dongpo meat for him. This is okay, this is happy.

There are indeed a lot of them, and thirty or fifty people sitting in the corner are actually conspicuous enough, because the guards are all dressed in uniform and sitting on the periphery, and there are a few guards standing guard.

Although it is very hidden, it is also the style of your son.

With so many people, two hundred fried buns, he was afraid that it would not be enough.

Brother Fourteen was relieved when the fried buns were served. The fried buns were as big as a child's fist, with thin skin and big stuffing, and they were greasy.

The guards who came with them are indeed very tasty. The fried buns are hot when they are served, golden on three sides and crispy on the other side. A group of strong men don’t need to be so particular about their masters. .

He was scalded by the soup and hissed twice at first, but after eating three or five times, he didn't even feel that it was hot.

The fourteenth elder brother sighed: They are all a group of foodies!

Just after eating here, there was a loud noise at the door: "Cheng Baylor is here!"

"Greetings to Lord Baylor."

A group of scholars, surrounded by a luxurious man, came in.

That person is no stranger to the [-]th elder brother and the [-]th elder brother, Cheng Baylor, their good third brother.

Originally, both of them had almost eaten and had to leave, but now they see the third brother, should they go say hello?Afraid of being abrupt, didn't you see how proud the third brother was there?

not going?I'm also afraid that people will find out in the future, saying that the two of them don't respect their elder brother, it's so difficult!

The two brothers looked at each other, very confused.

"Third brother likes to lecture people at length." The eighteenth elder brother really doesn't like third brother, and always thinks he is fake.

"Yes." Elder Fourteen nodded.

As a result, this group of people went up to the second floor, and after a long time, two people came down again. They were the third elder brother's close companions!

"Balkans."

"Winduren."

"I've met the Fourteenth Baylor, I've seen the Eighteenth Master."

The two of them greeted the two young masters as soon as they came, and this time they wanted to sneak around secretly.

"Get up." The fourteenth elder brother sat drinking tea, and did not intend to move, the eighteenth elder brother followed the fourteenth elder brother all the way to the dark.

"Fourteenth Baylor, Eighteenth Lord, our master is upstairs, and he seemed to see two of them when he walked over just now, but there were so many people at that time and they passed by in a flash, so we couldn't be sure, so he sent his servants down to have a look. It really is two masters." Balkan is a real man, he can't say such a thing, but Wen Dulun can.

If you don't go, you're going to die.

But the fourteenth brother is not frightened, he must go up, but he can't go up so easily: "The third brother really has good eyesight, you can see the younger brothers in the gaps between so many people, but Why didn't you come up to recognize your relatives at that time? You two servants were sent down afterwards, but you looked down on your younger brothers?"

Balkan glared at Wen Dulun: "Please don't be angry, my little master. It's because the slaves are blind. There were too many people at that time, and it was not convenient to come here if there was any trouble. Our master is doing it for the sake of the two little masters." .”

Actually it is not!

If he came up to say hello to his relatives, Cheng Baylor would be "Baile" and Fourteen Baylor would be "Baile". How embarrassing would San Elder be?

If someone is called up afterward, the elder brother calls the younger brother, the fourteenth elder brother and the eighteenth elder brother will naturally look down on him.

It's just that the fourteenth brother can't figure it out, since he pretends not to know each other, why invite them up?Isn't this taking off your pants and farting...isn't it superfluous?

Besides, they went up, didn't they steal the limelight from the third elder brother?

That third prince's mind is not too big.

"What's the trouble? There are three NO.50 people here, all of which can't be arranged?" Elder Fourteen just doesn't want to go up. Who knows if it's a Hongmen Banquet or a Peach Blossom Banquet?

While talking, another person came down from above. This person had a round face, a white face, a slightly fat body, and when he didn't open his mouth to smile, he would make people think he was a wealthy landlord.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard it: "Yu Desheng greeted the [-]th Lord Baylor, and greeted the [-]th Lord, two elder brothers, and Cheng Baylor is waiting for you two."

Yu Desheng is different from other eunuchs.

He was only eight years old, and he lived with the third elder brother outside the palace. He was the personal eunuch rewarded by the empress dowager from her own palace to the third elder brother, so he was naturally different from others.

Third elder brother doesn't move him easily, once he is let out, there are few things that can't be done.

Moreover, the name "Yu Desheng" was bestowed upon him by the Empress Dowager herself, and even Kangxi remembered him.

Back then, Kangxi's children, regardless of gender, did not stand still. In the end, Kangxi became cruel and sent the eldest elder brother to the family of the Minister of Internal Affairs, Gali, to be raised;

The second elder brother at that time was the prince, and Kangxi raised him himself.

Because there were already four young elder brothers and three little princesses who died young. In the early years of Kangxi's reign, the palace was severely cleaned.

It was not until the elder brother was six years old and the third elder brother was four years old that he slowly returned to the palace.

At that time, the fourth elder brother was born and raised by the noble concubine Tong Jiashi.

Yu Desheng is in the same group as Li Dequan, they all know each other, and there is a three-point favor when they meet each other.

"It's you, then go up." Seeing Yu Desheng, Brother Fourteen knew that he would not be able to hide.

Looking at Xiao Shiba: "Why don't you go back first?"

He went as soon as he went, Xiao Shiba was only 11 years old, he was half a child, if the third elder brother said something in front of everyone, this child would definitely die of anger.

"No, I want to follow the fourteenth brother!" The eighteenth brother was still very loyal: "I just went to see the third brother, not to see King Yama. If he dares to bully me, I dare to cry for him."

Anyway, he is still young, so he stands up for reason!

Eighteenth elder brother's naughty personality is surprisingly similar to tenth elder brother.

It's really worthy of Kangxi's seed, this stubborn energy, really like it!

"Okay then, let's go, let's go see what third brother is doing here?" Elder Fourteen stood up jokingly.

As a result, Brother Eighteen gave him a sentence that almost stumped him: "Isn't he playing some trick to add fragrance?"
