The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

There is nothing that Kangxi wants to find out, the key is whether he wants to find out.

It didn't take long, only half a day, for Gu Chao to find out: "Brother Seventeen ordered me to say this, and the original reason was to spread rumors, because Brother Seventeen made a fuss about several Mongols. Your lady has some ideas, but those Mongolian princes have ideas about Fourteen Baylor."

Kangxi was taken aback by this: "Seventeen?"

"Yes!" Gu Chao lowered his head and said, "The haha ​​beads beside Brother Seventeen"

Kangxi's expression was gloomy, and he said after a long time: "Gu Chao, send someone to clean up this matter, Brother Seventeen, whoever participated in it will be dealt with, I don't want to hear any more gossip."

Gu Chao lowered his head forcibly, and responded without any disturbance in his voice: "Hey!"

Brother Seventeen, Brother Seventeen, you have stepped on a thunderbolt.

The news spread like the wind, and it only took three days before it disappeared like the wind, and no one talked about it anymore.

Kangxi acted as though nothing had happened, except that Elder Seventeen was more unlucky, a haha ​​bead drank too much, fell into the lake and drowned; the eunuch next to him committed a crime and was directly shot to death.

Brother Seventeen suddenly fell silent...

The Fourteenth Master didn't know what was going on here, he didn't do anything, and the rumors were self-defeating.

"Master, you are amazing!" Xiao Pingzi said happily: "Today, I have never seen Xu Liang, Brother Seventeen's personal eunuch!"

Xu Liang is the eighth-rank eunuch next to Brother Seventeen.

Among the personal eunuchs, he can be regarded as number one.

In the past, when Xiao Pingzi had no rank, he was often bullied by Xu Liang, because Xu Liang was a eunuch with rank, and these eunuchs with no rank could only bear with being bullied.

Ma Lianying usually takes good care of them, because it is impossible for Ma Lianying to be by their side all the time, and the younger ones will be bullied occasionally.

Xiao Pingzi was also bullied, but because he was the personal eunuch of the Fourteenth Lord at the time, he would not be bullied too hard, but he did not show mercy to him.

So when he was unlucky, the little bottle group was very happy to be bullied.

"So it's Seventeen!" The Fourteenth Master nodded, he was drawing people's attention, whoever lacks someone close to him is probably the one who will be the one to gossip.

It's just that he didn't expect that it would be Elder Seventeen. In his impression, Elder Seventeen...was not very good.

He doesn't quite remember the seventeenth elder brother in history, it seems that it was Prince Guo at the end?

But in fact, Brother Fourteen really didn't get in touch with him much. He only knew that he didn't get along with Fifteen, Sixteen, and Eighteen. Apart from the fact that Er Niang was competing for favor, there was also the fact that they were almost ranked next to each other. continued teeth.

There are three brothers in the family, and he is alone.

May be because of this, so jealous?

But what does it have to do with him?

It seems that since he rescued the eighteenth brother, the seventeenth brother... Also, the fifteenth and sixteenth brothers used to be close to him, but now they are estranged.

Even their daughters-in-law are not very close.

At first Fourteen thought it was because of becoming a family.

But then I realized that wasn't the case.

"It's Lord Seventeen?" Tong Jiaqinggui frowned: "Why?"

The Fourteenth Master really has nothing to say to the brothers. The business share and dividends are never lacking for anyone, including the Seventeenth Elder Brother.

For young brothers like them, it is the kindness of Fourteenth Brothers that they can save their wives.

Otherwise, what kind of family background can they have?

For the little money in the branch office, there is nothing left after the branch office.

"I don't know." Fourteenth Master shook his head: "Probably because Grandpa is too good."

The fourteenth master walked in and out of the palace without any influence at all, and took a group of younger brothers out to pick mushrooms, dig wild vegetables, and hunt for Kangxi to cook food. They coaxed Kangxi into a good mood.

Even during the Mid-Autumn Festival, autumn hunting activities were held, and the scene was grand and lively.

It wasn't until the beginning of September that Fourteen had dinner with Kangxi and said, "Huang Ama, will you go back? It's already September, and the chrysanthemums in the palace are all in bloom."

"Let's go back, the imperial examination will be held in October." Kangxi nodded, which meant he was leaving.

"Huh? Palace exam? Huang Ama, I haven't heard that there will be an exam this year?" Fourteen was taken aback for a moment.

"It's not a literary test, it's a military test." Kangxi said: "Didn't you say that we need to raise our military strength? We have to start with the selection of talents."

Whatever Kangxi wanted to do, he was fully prepared in advance.

"Martial arts test?" Fourteen became interested: "Are you fighting?"

"Martial arts competition!" Kangxi slapped him a little: "What about fighting? People who are good at martial arts and who are familiar with military books are good seedlings. They should be cultivated well. By the way, there are also people from Guangzhou this time. The future general of the army."

Fourteen nodded: "Yes, yes, what Huang Ama said is true."

The martial arts test, he hasn't seen it yet. In fact, Kangxi also had a martial arts test a few years ago, but Shisi didn't pay attention to it.

He doesn't even know!

Kangxi set off for Luan capital on September [-]st.

After arriving in the capital, sure enough, the atmosphere in the capital is very lively, which is not as quiet and peaceful as the examinations of the scribes. The martial arts exams are lively, especially those who came from some places. After entering the capital, there are everywhere. Xi Laishun was unanimously welcomed by everyone in the scene of Wu meeting friends.

After all, barbecue and hot pot are very casual things.

Fan Xilai even launched a new business of "substituting roasting". He only needs to pay some Xilaishun's barbecue seasoning and charcoal fire money, and he can roast the things they bring, such as the prey that these martial arts people hunted.

This has been unanimously loved by them, so the barbecue masters saw all kinds of prey and roasted many different things.

The day passed not to mention how joyful it was.

After the Fourteenth Master came back, he went to inspect the shop and saw that they roasted things. In addition to regular cattle, sheep, and roast suckling pig, there were also various rabbits, wild ducks, pheasants, and wild rabbits... anyway, they were all brought by the customers themselves. For things, they are only responsible for grilling, selling craftsmanship and ingredients.

That's a lot of money!

On the fourth day of October, the Martial Palace Examination was held.

Fourteen was curious, so he got up early in the morning, had breakfast at Kangxi's place, and asked Kangxi to take a look: "I remember, I have never seen a martial arts test."

It's pitiful.

"Okay, follow me." Kangxi rarely told him: "It's okay, don't shout."

Otherwise, what would it look like for Lord Baylor to yell in the stands?He was Amma who went shopping with Shisi. Shishi had watched juggling and juggling with great interest.

Of course, in the same way, when you see something exciting, you will yell and give money.

The martial arts test is different from the literary test, and people who wield knives and guns have a bad temper, and they really get angry, but some people don’t care about the occasion. Kangxi has encountered more than one person who made a real fire in the competition field and vomited blood Yes, fractures abound, and the two of them were forcibly separated twice... Although they became ministers in the same palace later, they still couldn't deal with it.

This is not good!

Fourteenth Master nodded sharply: "I know, I know!"

This is a martial arts test held by the imperial court, and he has to respect the martial arts examiners.

The palace examination that day was actually held at Jiaotai Hall, because the square in front of Jiaotai Hall is very large.

Enough for these martial arts people to toss about.

Martial arts people all have a strong physique, are very accurate in archery, and have great strength, and then they want to write a policy theory!

Moreover, there are not many martial arts candidates, but once you become a martial arts scholar, you will start as a third-class guard in Ouchi, a fifth-rank official position.

Much better than the civil servants!

It was very enjoyable for Fourteenth Brother to watch. This is much better than juggling or something, and they are all real martial arts masters.

After the palace examination, Kangxi held a barbecue banquet, which was regarded as a Qionglin banquet. Fourteen was very happy to eat and drink.

In November, someone came from Tibet.

It turned out that the Dalai Lama passed away, and his subordinate Diba went into hiding, and set up a fake Dalai Lama. Lhazang Khan, who was in power, killed Diba, and sent people to Beijing to dedicate the fake Dalai Lama he set up to the Qing emperor.

Kangxi was very happy, this proved the great reputation of the Qing Dynasty, even on the snow-capped mountains, it is majestic!

He generously rewarded Lazang Khan with a bunch of things, but he sent seventeen elder brothers as special envoys to send the things up.

Brother Seventeen was stunned when he received this oracle!

For him, it was a bolt from the blue!

He is only 15 years old, he has no errands, and he has no title. He is a bald prince. He is called "Seventeenth Lord", but he is not the most favored one, and his parents are still guards.

Chen hadn't seen Kangxi for a long time, and wanted to intercede, but her status was so low that she couldn't even get out of the harem.

When Shisi heard the news, he sighed a little: "Climbing the snow mountain in winter? Are you courting death?"

It’s winter now, and if you go to Tibet, you may not be able to arrive until the beginning of spring next year... But is spring a good time to climb the snow mountains?

He didn't know, anyway, he had never climbed a snow mountain.

The most important thing is that Kangxi did not leave envoys to celebrate the New Year, but set off after Laba. At this time, it is not as developed as later generations. There are heavenly roads and airplanes. If you want to go to Tibet at this time, at least half a year will be wasted on the road .

However, Shishi didn't pay much attention to this matter, he started to settle accounts and then distributed share and bonus to each household.

At this time, the eyes of the Prince Zhijun Mansion and Cheng Bei Le Mansion would turn red with envy.

After Fourteen had given away the share and bonus, it was time for Xiaonian to close his pen. On this day, he planned to go to the fourth brother's house for a meal, but a person came to give him a New Year's gift.

"Nian Gengyao? What are you... yes, you are a filial piety!" Fourteen was really surprised when he saw Nian Gengyao, his eyes were as bright as stars in the sky.

Nian Gengyao was also very happy to see the Fourteenth Master: "I originally entered Beijing in August, but I just had some trivial things to do, so I didn't come to the door all the time. Now that the things are done, it seems that the New Year is coming, so I won't come to you again New Year's gift is justified."

Nian Gengyao's New Year gifts are not expensive, but they are very thoughtful.

In particular, the six silver fox furs were intact.

"The students caught this when they were hunting in the north, and they handled it very well. This is an orchid silver fox." Nian Gengyao said, "Make a cloak for Master Fourteen."

The orchid silver fox is a rare thing that cannot be found.

Ordinary foxes have a stinky smell, so the cobbler needs special treatment for the fox fur, just for this, it needs to be incensed frequently.

But the orchid silver fox is not. It is true that it eats meat. At the same time, it also eats orchid grass. Over time, it has a fragrance of orchid grass on its body. After the cobbler treats it, this fragrance is formed naturally. put on.

Nian Gengyao didn't know that the Fourteenth Master didn't smoke incense before. During the few days when the Fourteenth Master was recuperating at his home, he discovered that the Fourteenth Master didn't smoke incense and only liked natural flavors. Si Ye's clothes were washed with soap locust water, and did not use any incense to dye them.

So he worked hard to get the Orchid Silver Fox and six skins, enough to make a big cloak.

"Don't call yourself a student. Your younger sister is my sister-in-law. From now on, I will call you Lianggong. You should call me Fourteen!" Master Fourteen felt elated when he touched the silver fox fur. He saw such a precious thing. After a few times, it belonged to Kangxi, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to ask for it.

Now he has it too!

"That's good, Fourteenth Master. From now on, you can just call Nian Gengyao to work." Nian Gengyao nodded, following the good advice.

Lianggong is Nian Gengyao's name.

In ancient times, only people who were familiar with and close to each other would call "zi", and when the name was ordinary, it was only used in formal occasions such as official document signing.
