All-round way to money
160 Chapter 3 The 2 Masters and 7 Cows [-]
To deal with Baye, we have to divide and conquer.
Fourth Master wanted to deal with Nian Gengyao, not even divide and conquer.
Because Nian Gengyao didn't have accomplices like the Nine Masters and Ten Masters, let alone the charge of killing his brothers.Even if you kill him, you can gain a good reputation for killing harm.He has gone too far.Corruption has embezzled more than 400 million and close to 500 million taels of silver.Not counting his usual ostentation.What kind of emperor left Sanjiangkou Jiahu to fight on the battlefield, what kind of year election, one after another, he deserved death for any one of them.You can't be punished just because you have meritorious service, you won the battle, that's impossible.
The problem is that fourth master doesn't want to kill Nian Gengyao. He has said so many things about pampering Nian Gengyao before, and he calls him a benefactor.It is not that the monarch and his ministers have never been harmonious.Just like the parent of a bear child, when he is angry, he wants to beat him to death, but he really never thought of doing it for real.Fourth master had that mentality towards Nian Gengyao.Coupled with Xiao Nian Gao's pillow style, crying and crying miserably, and the courtiers clearly saw that he didn't want to kill, but they had to fight him hard to force him to kill, and they rebelled against him.He knew in his heart that Nian Gengyao deserved to die, but he didn't want to be forced to do things.
Mr. Xiao looked at those brochures, thinking about what Chu Ran said at home when he heard him talk about how to fool Fourth Master, who is not a baby anymore.Stubborn donkeys have to smooth their hair.Although the words are crude, they are not completely unreasonable.
This is not, he is happy to stand up to him.Knowing that people deserve to die, but I don’t want to kill them in my heart, I can still gain the upper hand and make the right choice. Now that I’m good and excited, I won’t listen to you, what to do.
Willfulness came up.
"It's the same for these scholars. They are all stupid. Why are they so stupefied and don't know how to turn? They hit the south wall anyway and know how to turn around. They are all brains, and they are really stubborn. I didn't know to take a look at the Tongtian Avenue next to me. Su Peisheng, go, go to the South Study Room and call a few people, and write down these personal names for the Lord. In the future, if there is such an errand that can only be done by a stubborn head, start from these It's really good." Mr. Xiao babbled and scolded those who got the paperwork.As soon as Su Peisheng told him to call someone, Ma Liuer went.You must listen to what the thirteenth master said.Otherwise, the emperor will not be happy.
"Fourth brother, don't be angry, I will write people down, next time there are other things, if they don't have this time, see how I deal with them. I still don't believe it, and increase the salary by ten times One person can't do the work of three people. Cut off [-]% of the officials who don't work, and the remaining people are guaranteed to be more diligent. There are not many other things in the Qing Dynasty, but there are many people. Are you afraid that no one will use it? Those who have the ability will all quit. We have soldiers in our hands, so we are not afraid of anything."
Now the salaries of these officials are really not high, and the retirement system is good, but why do people in their [-]s and [-]s still want to retire?Just because, after retiring, the pension is received according to the salary silver.But the real big ones in daily life are spending money with fire, raising money with honesty, and respecting those incomes other than salary.The officials took advantage of Nian Gengyao's affairs to make trouble with the emperor, and it was also because of the trial implementation of Huo Consumption, which affected people's interests.Now he is taking the opportunity to show what he did when he was a rectification official in Emperor Qianlong.The timing was just right.
The fourth master is a man who knows how to live on a budget. When he heard Thirteen said that he wanted to increase his salary, his heart trembled. He silently calculated how much money he had to add for so many officials in the Qing Dynasty. The surplus of layoffs was not enough for the salary increase Son, my heart ached so much. "Don't need to add so much?" He thought, his thirteenth brother can't be so ignorant, right?When I was a child in the South Study Room, he taught arithmetic himself, and he learned it very well.
"Compared to the money they used to waste money, raise money, and be greedy, it's much less." Among other things, let's take the magistrate of Yangzhou, a small fourth-rank official, with a reasonable and compliant income for a year. Small 10 taels.Three years to Qing Zhifu, [-] snowflake silver, which is really too little in Yangzhou.But after earning so much, six out of ten are greedy.Losing more than a salary is more than a hundred times a thousand times.
The more important significance of the increase in salary is to guarantee the security after you become an official. You can work safely until you retire. It can guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Look at their dishonesty.
Don't say anything about collective strikes.When it comes to their own interests, you can see if they can unite.A lot of salary and silver are there, you see if anyone is willing to be controlled more strictly.Everyone who has just entered the officialdom wants to be a clean official, and no one is rushing to be a corrupt official.Don't talk about the petty officials below, is the enmity between the eighth master and the fourth master?Do you think he is willing to let go of the power in his hand?If he was really willing, Master Nine and Master Ten would not be transferred away so easily.It would be great if they all left their picks and went home to be an idle clan, and they couldn't afford to be hungry.After all, it’s not worth it!
People, as long as there are desires, there is nothing that cannot be dealt with.
The fourth master thought for three days, and finally looked at his thirteenth brother's face, and said, "The national treasury is not rich right now, let's triple it first?"
OK. "Respect."
Then the decree went down, and it was spread across the country. Where the New Deal was implemented well, according to the progress, the reform of the New Deal was completed one day earlier, and the salaries of officials were increased one day earlier.
Special inspectors were also arranged, with 27 provinces and [-] groups of people, each responsible for one to three provinces, leading people, nothing else, just bringing the news about the New Deal issued by the emperor in the year since he became the throne. The edict, as well as the edicts related to ordinary people, were read out one by one, and they were explained to the illiterate people in the most common vernacular.In each team, there will be one or two hidden guards, and there will be secret reports on whether the propaganda is in place and whether they are fooling people.
These people are not only able to preach imperial edicts.Then I met the common people on the front line, chatting, can I also chat about the gossip or something in the capital?Compared with scholars, more common people in this era are illiterate.You scholars can distribute brainwashing packages, why not?Can't the emperor?What about Zeng Jing, this and that, we made up a few stories about your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, all of which are down-to-earth stories that ordinary people love to hear, won’t it make you stink?
There is also Ba Ye, who is not a virtuous person, so I will pass on your virtuous name to you.Then he was in charge of disaster relief, embankment repairs and other living imperial edicts, saying that the emperor also believed that the eight sage kings are the ones who care about the world the most, those who care about the people, and the ones who can do these things well. That's why I entrusted all these things to him, and I believe he will be able to handle them well.He also hinted to the common people that if there is a problem with these matters, they can just find the Eight Sage Kings, the emperor has given him the greatest power.Let's talk about how much the emperor loves Ba Ye in the form of gossip, whether he wants wind or rain or whatever.
Can't kill him.
It doesn't take many people to do these things.A team of twenty articulate men can do it neatly.A total of 500 people is enough.No matter how lonely fourth master is, how can he not even have such a manpower!
In places like Jiangnan, there are many people, there are people with money and leisure, and there are many scholars, so it is not easy to brainwash them.But there are people.Li Wei is in Jiangnan.That's a capable person, if you tell him the routine, he can definitely do it well.That person, anyone who is so crooked can come, and ordinary punks don't have as many bad ideas as him.He's an out-and-out big bastard.
After these few sets of combined punches, the emperor does not need to urge the New Deal. The old officials who are serving in various places are more anxious than anyone else.Without it, their salaries and silver will increase, and their pensions will increase by hundreds or thousands of taels a year. With the implementation of the New Deal, tax exemption is no longer possible, and a lot of income has been lost. Shouldn't they find compensation from other places?
Those students who clamored that studying is useless stopped making noise.It used to be that if you won the election, you didn’t have to pay taxes. Now you can be an official for a lifetime without worrying about droughts and floods.It is even more desperate to enter the officialdom through the imperial examination.
This largely diverted the attention of readers.The investigation efforts of the Beijing officials who were dismissed and went home to farm the land have also subsided.They were the first batch to get their salaries raised, and they were also the ones who got the most raises.It will be of no benefit to fight against the emperor again.Be honest.
There are a few people who are still determined to impeach Nian Gengyao, but they can't stir up any waves.The emperor doesn't even care.The eighth master kept asking for money and food every day, but the fourth master also controlled him.Whether you give it or not depends on whether you are good or not. If you want ten stones to give three stones, if you can't do the job well, the common people will scold you. Dry.Day by day, Ba Ye was very tired. Of course, he seemed to be able to handle it with ease.Is it hard to know that I know.Anyway, if he wanted to trip up fourth master again, he didn't have so much energy and no conditions.
When no one forced Fourth Master to kill Nian Gengyao, and Nian Gengyao himself thought that he had escaped a catastrophe and started to make a difference to the next level, the military power was taken away by Yue Zhongqi overnight.Then the imperial decree transferred him to be the general of Hangzhou.It’s interesting enough, you’re still a first-rank official, how wonderful it is that you take care of your old age carelessly, and you’ve fully honored the kindness of the monarch and his ministers.If people don't, just do it.
Li Wei is in the south of the Yangtze River, and he works in Hangzhou. Fourth Master, it is not clear what he has done.Just give him a push to the end, and don't let him see the city gate.Instead, he was transferred back to Beijing and asked to go to the Ministry of War to look at the warehouse.
No one dared to force the emperor to kill him.The emperor doesn't have to bear the reputation of killing heroes.He was also benevolent to the Nian family, saving the lives of his family and not ransacking the family.Only one rich man was killed, because he wanted to run away with the money his father coveted.And these years, relying on his father's power, he has done many bad things, and his death will not be wronged.
Xiao Nian Gao's body was always like that, but she couldn't get over this stimulation.Fourth master deserved to be harassed by Nian Gengyao, and his feelings for Xiao Nian Gao have faded a lot, plus he is getting older and sick, so it doesn't affect his appearance.Should I say it or not, fourth master is really a scumbag on this.Li's old age is getting old and he is getting along with Xiao Nian Gao, but Xiao Nian Gao's fate is not as good as Li's.At least Mrs. Li is still alive, she is dead.
Good guy, the death of Xiao Nian Gao seems to have turned on the switch of Fourth Master's scumbag.Once the first emperor's filial piety period is over, he no longer lives with anyone, and starts to run hard towards the young little nobles in the palace.
There are Mr. Xiao and Chu Ran who are recuperating their bodies openly and secretly. From the queen mother to the emperor and queen, they are all in good health.In addition, Mr. Xiao is very careful not to let him get too tired, he is afraid that he will die of exhaustion early, and that prodigal son Hongli will be taken advantage of.If you are in good health, you still have time, but you will have more time if you don't turn your cards around.
In July of the fourth year of Yongzheng, Hongzhan was fiddled with early.Life is seven years ahead of schedule.
After four and a half years, the government finally got it right.Today, the Military Aircraft Department still looks at those people, not a single newcomer, and not a single old one is missing.But the situation is very different.
The fourth master is still the fourth master, and his methods are much better than Hongli's.When Hongli first came to the throne, he was also diligent, and it took ten years to secure the throne.It only took the fourth master less than five years to straighten out the messy government affairs left by Mr. Kangxi.
The government is getting smoother and smoother, and the fourth master's becoming the emperor is getting smoother and smoother.The thirteenth master is also getting more and more favored, and his power is getting heavier and heavier.
Nian Gengyao has long since become a thing of the past.The Eighth Master Party has long been beaten into a mess. The Ninth Master runs outside all year round. It takes at least a year to go to sea. He doesn’t like to stay in the capital when he comes back. Special order, I have become the supervisory minister of the thirteenth industry, and I spend most of my time there. I live a small life, not to mention how rich I am.She was still trying to get Grand Concubine Yi to go there, Grand Concubine Yi really wanted to go, but Fifth Master refused to let her, saying that she was getting old and afraid of spoiling the old lady.The two sons saw Tian'er writing letters to fight for their mother, the old lady was very happy, every time Master Jiu sent someone to deliver things back, they had to go to the Changchun Garden, and the Queen Mother moved to live in the garden.She gave something to the queen mother, and then the old sisters recalled the past together, feeling the present day with emotion.She can be regarded as an indirect expression of gratitude on behalf of her son.Master Shi also did a good job of patrolling the border. The queen begged for mercy. After the emperor promised Shi Fujin to accompany him, the couple stayed on the grassland for most of the year.With Shi Fujin here, it is very convenient to visit those old princesses and little princesses in Fumeng. There are those princesses who are not angry, or slaves who coerce their masters. , her identity is completely capable of doing this master.From time to time, he took the little princesses from the capital out to meet the world, horse racing and hunting.The little girls are much more alive and healthy.Once back in Beijing, the palace and all the mansions were chattering, and it was lively when I heard it.
Everything that needs to be cleaned up is almost cleaned up, the most troublesome Eighth Master Party has been cleaned up, who is left?Longkodo.
The more powerful the Thirteenth Lord is, the more troubled Longkodo will be.Ever since the first emperor's funeral, when he stopped the Thirteenth Lord from leaving the garden in the Changchun Garden, the Thirteenth Lord has never had a peaceful relationship with him.
He didn't break the rules, he didn't violate the emperor's order, no one can say that he did something wrong.His order to the first emperor was actually fulfilled.Therefore, fourth master never delved into that matter, and gave him all the honor and favor that should be given to him.The minister of the study room, the minister of military aircraft, and Tong Zhongtang, who everyone respects when he goes out.But he himself knew that it had been almost five years, and he had been almost empty, without any real power.The Minister of Military Aircraft has a high position and authority, but he can't make decisions on his own. Big things have to be negotiated, and the things that can be made in his hands are insignificant and trivial.It's either the Ministry of Rites or the Lifan Academy, the Shangzhi Academy and other things.That's what the handyman said.Unfortunately, it was not clear from the brochure that the major events sent out were all joint names of the Military Aircraft Department. His name was before Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi, and only behind Thirteenth Master and Eighth Master.How do outsiders see him, how high and powerful he is.The most powerful admiral of the Nine Gates is handed over as soon as he enters the study room. After a few years of job rotation, his old team has already changed to few people left.What he said is fart now in the admiral's office.
By now, he has almost become an invisible man in the military aircraft department.He doesn't speak easily, of course, it's useless to say it, if he raises some opinions, Lord Thirteen will definitely object.The emperor must be on the side of Lord Thirteen.It's useless to say.Even if what he said is right, good opinions are useless.The Thirteenth Master would rather refute him first, and let others raise it in the past, than accept his opinion.The emperor acted as if he didn't see it, and let the thirteenth master bully him.After weeping and complaining about his grievances a few times, the emperor comforted him by saying that the Thirteenth Lord was a public-minded person, he was not that kind of person, he would talk about the Thirteenth Lord, and he would do what he should do in the end.I have never seen Thirteenth Lord say a word.So I could hear from time to time that Lord Thirteen was in charge of the emperor's affairs, and today he got angry and removed the mutton.Tomorrow, I will not let out the house if I wear less clothes for the season.He is not stupid, three times and two times, he is not convinced, ten times and eight times, there is still something he doesn't understand.He is a real brother, and his uncle who is turning around is nothing.
"When will Longkodo be cleaned up?" Chu Ran was also curious, is this fish just kept like this?
"Hurry up. The old fox knows that the master has been looking for him all these years, so he is very careful. But who made him fail to repair his inner curtains and fail to raise a good son. Someone is rushing to give him the blame." Mr. Xiao sneered nagging.
"Who is it?" The son cheated Lao Tzu, and he must cheat every time.
"Li Si'er, aren't you most interested in those celebrities who fight in the house?" Mr. Xiao started to mock Chu Ran with a chuckle.Just because Chu Ran was always thinking about the harems of the princes, and he was even more concerned about the harem of the fourth master. He was always thinking about the script of house fighting and palace fighting, which made him hold the handle.
Oh oh oh, I know, I know, Chu Ran nodded suddenly, Li Si'er, a celebrity, I know too well.A tough concubine, a brain-dead man, a magical family.But Chu Ran has never met Li Si'er in person. Because she is a concubine, she can't be on the stage, and she can't participate in serious occasions.No matter how much Long Kedo spoils her, it's useless. No matter how oppressed the clan Fujin are, they will not surrender their status to befriend a concubine.And there are actually many occasions where Chu Ran can attend.Prince Yi Fujin's identity already has a symbolic meaning, except for the family affairs of the elder brothers, she attends according to family rituals, and the residences of several old princes all depend on the situation.Therefore, all ears are full of Li Si'er's prestige and prestige history, but the real person has never seen it.
Apart from the ladies in the harem of the fourth master, the most famous one she saw was the Eight Fujin.It is said that Ba Ye is afraid of his wife, and he has a very good relationship with Ba Fujin.Famous is not as good as meeting, that's all.For that man, Ba Ye, the good reputation is his, and the bad reputation is left to others.Eight Fujin was just used as a shield by him.There must be feelings, but to say whether you are afraid or not is bullshit.How many years without children, it is said that Di Fujin is powerful and jealous.But let's put it down, no matter what Eight Fujin is, she was born there, and was raised in Prince An's house, so she doesn't have the education environment that pulls the prince's elder brother to prevent her from having children.It is obvious that Eighth Master is from his own background, so he wants a son-in-law. He doesn't want to have a son with the same background as him, and he doesn't want others to see his secret inferiority complex, so he puts all the blame on Bafujin.Men can't understand Xiao Jiujiu here. They are both women. There is nothing they can't understand. Not only Chu Ran can understand. The queen has a lot of dealings with Bafujin. The two houses were neighbors in the past. They have been neighbors for nearly 20 years. What can't be seen? Come out.It's just that everyone pretends to be confused.
Also because the eight blessings were different from the rumors, Chu Ran thought that Li Si'er's matter was exaggerated by others, for the sake of Hei Longkodo.Unexpectedly, this one is real.
"What did she do?" Chu Ran was still curious.
"It's not what she did. It's her good son who competed with the second boy of Prince Jane's family for a singing girl. Compared with the money, he spent five or six thousand taels. The group fights have been dated several times. A couple It's a scam."
"Oh, I really like his family, Fujin. He has a good temper. Also, his Fujin is the stepmother, and his sons were all born to Fujin first, and the little Guerjia family only gave birth to a daughter. He came to us a few days ago. Er Gege went to the house to listen to the play. I heard that he fell in love with the nephew of the natal family of the fourteenth brother and sister, and I don't know if there is a marriage agreement."
When Mr. Xiao heard that what she was talking about was all the words of the woman in the back house, he didn't have the heart to talk to her about the outside world.This person is also very godly. When she was the leader of the gang, she was also a proper domineering female president. Now that she has become a Fujin, she really just stays in the back house with all her heart, raising her children, being the director of the family, and not caring about the outside affairs at all. up.
"Speaking of marriage, Er Gege is already in her twenties, don't you still think about her? If she stays here again, Er Gege will really become an old lady." Mr. Xiao had to mention one thing.Of course he wouldn't dislike his daughter being at home, but that's not the case in this era.All the noble girls of the Manchu nationality marry late, and there are many people who get married in the 22th or [-]th year, but there are really not many who stay in their twenties and stay unmarried.Unless you catch up with the filial piety period several times in a row.Just like what she just mentioned, Prince Jane's stepmother Guarjar, was originally worthy of a prince's concubine Fujin based on her background, but she kept filial piety for seven years, which delayed her marriage. She was only [-] years old Married, can only be a second wife.
"Isn't this just watching? It's almost there, almost." Er Gege is Zhao Jia's first daughter, and was originally married to the son of her sixth sister's family in history.Of course Chu Ran would not agree.It's one thing to look down on her sixth sister's family, and it's absolutely impossible to look down on her close relatives.
Now it is really difficult for the daughter of Prince Yi's family to find her husband's family.The family of the courtiers that the fourth master needs to use cannot be found, and he is suspected of forming a clique.Among the eight major surnames, how many generations have been married, and they are more or less related by blood. It is not easy to think that one identity is enough, but the blood relationship is still far away.Like the Fucha family, the daughter of the family has just proposed marriage to Hongli, so she cannot marry.Fortunately, the fourth master wants to improve the status of Hanchen and promote the integration of Manchu and Han.With Zhang Tingyu as the representative in the imperial court, the ranking of the Military Aircraft Division has been improving.Mr. Xiao also told the fourth master that he wanted to find a Han family for his daughter.Hasn't she been teasing Hanchen all the time?
If I don't want my daughter to be wronged, of course I have to find a noble family.There is no need for a high-ranking family, the most important thing is to have rules, the family style is clean and upright, and there are no messy concubines to add to the obstruction, it is very good.
She has already found two families in the Hanlin Academy, and is finally checking the child's own character.
"Don't just worry about Er Ge Ge, Si Ge Ge, you should think more about it too. Yesterday, a child asked the little eunuch to come out and send me a message, saying that you haven't entered the palace to water her little gourd for half a month. .”
"Isn't Master Jiu returning to Beijing recently, bringing back a lot of goods, and I'm busy developing new products. There is also our garden, which needs to be tidied up. I haven't worked hard enough. I will go tomorrow, and I will go tomorrow."
When Si Gege was sent to the palace to be raised by the queen, the queen thought of Chu Ran's love, and really raised the child by her side, and lived with her in Zhongcui Palace.Everyone knew that the child would be caressed in the future, and Chu Ran also planned ahead, except that Shi Fujin played with the child for a while before entering the palace, and then brought him home from time to time to follow Shi Fujin.In the palace, in the small courtyard where she lived, she begged the queen to specially build a flower pot, planted a gourd in it, and told the child that this was the fairy gourd that Ama begged for her specially. The relatives watered the gourd with their own hands every day, and raised it until she was married. They picked the gourd to make a water hyacinth and gave it to her as a dowry. After that, she drank the water from the water gourd every day, which would bless her with a long and healthy life, free from disease and disaster.Of course this is all made up.Just to let the child have a sustenance, relatives water it with their own hands every day, which means that she is favored, and with that gourd by her side, it will relieve her homesickness even if she is far away from home in the future. A small piece of yushui stone can really strengthen the body.
Since the gourd vine was planted, of course Chu Ran couldn't enter the palace every day, but whenever she entered the palace, she had to pour some water.Usually, the queen pours it herself, and never fakes the hands of others.The emperor and the thirteenth master often went to Zhongcui Palace to eat, and they did not water less.The Queen Mother always has three or five times a year to move her body and go to brush her face.Even if the emperor was not in the palace and the harem was transferred to the Old Summer Palace, there would always be the prince or her brother or younger brother who stayed behind in the palace and would come here every day to water the little gourd.Even in the winter, it never stops. Watering three or five drops in the jar will not hurt the roots, but it is of great significance.More than two years have passed, and Si Gege is watching the little gourd closely.I miss my mother, let alone think about it, and say that I haven't watered her little gourd for a long time.
Chu Ran handed over the sign and entered the palace early the next day.
I brought the jewelry and foreign goods I just got, and this time I also brought some southern fruits that can be stored.Jackfruit, durian, pineapple, banana and so on.Some have been seen in the palace before, and some have not.
At the gate of Zhongcui Palace, I happened to meet Concubine Xi who was going out, still wiping her tears.After a simple greeting with each other, they separated.At this time, it was long past the time when the concubines greeted the queen, and this one is still there, crying out?How did you say it?The queen is fine, why make things difficult for her?The third elder brother has been suppressed by the fourth master since then because of the fraud case in the examination room. The child is almost depressed, and now he is learning from the eighth master to do business.Fourth master said, doesn't he like his eighth uncle, so learn more from his eighth master, if he can learn half of his eighth master's skills, he will never be able to use them in his life.He also said that if he gets along well with his eighth uncle, it is not impossible to be his eighth uncle's son.I don’t know if Ba Ye was scared or not, Hongshi was scared to death, and Miao Hongwang, the only seedling of Ba Ye’s family, was depressed. I was afraid that the emperor would really adopt Hongshi to his Ama, so Prince Lian’s What's the matter with him?The emperor must give him his own son.At home, I didn't lightly make a fuss about him, Ama.But speaking of this matter, Hongshi was abandoned by the fourth master, and his disqualification to inherit the Datong was a certainty.As for the rest, Fuhui's health is not good, and it may be ruined at any time.Hongzhan is still a nursing baby, only Hongli and Hongzhou are left.The queen must be stupid to embarrass their biological mother?
"What's the situation?" Chu Ran asked directly when she saw the queen.
The empress had an inexplicable smile on her face, "I dislike that the wedding standard prepared by the Ministry of Rites for Hongli is too low."
what?
Is the Ministry of Rites out of their minds to embarrass Hongli?
"I want to follow the prince's regulations." The queen added another sentence.
what?
Chu Ran was stunned, unable to react.
What's the matter?Is this a disguised test of fourth master's attitude?If Hongli's wedding was really held according to the regulations of the crown prince, then there is not much difference between the establishment of the crown prince and the establishment of the crown prince.
Really can make trouble.
"Then why did you send her away? She went out crying." Chu Ran was curious.
"Crying? Hehe. How can I get rid of her? This is a matter for the Ministry of Rites. Let her talk to the Ministry of Rites. I can't tell you."
Oh, then this crying is just a show, crying for the emperor to let people know that she is crying out of Zhongcui Palace.Chu Ran understood it after thinking about it.
Then she smiled and said jokingly with the queen: "Then this time, I think Concubine Xi will be disappointed."
The queen patted her hand and smiled, and everyone knew it.
We all know that it is impossible for fourth master to express his opinion so early.
"Their mother and son, why are you in such a hurry?" Back home, Chu Ran asked Mr. Xiao, such a big move, definitely couldn't be done by Concubine Xi with a slap in the face, what a big deal it is.
Mr. Xiao seemed in a good mood, "Because I like Hong Zhou better, and I often bring that kid with me. Hong Li tried to get close to me several times, but I didn't answer. He was afraid that the emperor would be influenced by me, so he chose Hong Zhou. Is it age? Young, he has not been trained according to the standards of an heir, and he is in a hurry, and his methods are too rough."
Fourth master just got rid of a restless Hongshi, and you Hongli went out, can you get used to your problems?He has only been on the throne for five years now, and he has just felt a little bit like being an emperor. Okay, you boy are starting to miss the emperor's throne under your father's ass?What's the difference between this and wishing for your own father's early death?Can you not clean him up?
No, Concubine Xi left the Zhongcui Palace crying.Two days later, the emperor made a decree that the marriages of the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother should be handled in accordance with the rules of the elder brother's wedding.Back then, the elder brother was also very favored, and if he was not favored, he could not be raised to have the ability and strength to wrestle with the prince.But the big brother's ending was not good either, because he missed the throne, he was permanently imprisoned.The meaning of this warning could not be more obvious.If you two boys are dishonest and think about it blindly, that will be the end of the elder brother.
That's not counting, and Hong Zhan was taken to the queen's palace to raise him later.Since Fuhui passed away as Concubine Nian, she was raised in the Empress Dowager's Palace.The meaning of being raised by the empress dowager and being raised by the queen is very different.Fourth master himself was raised by the imperial concubine at that time and later empress Tong when he was a child.Otherwise, Long Kedo couldn't be ashamed to say that he is the prince's uncle, except that his aunt is Kangxi's biological mother, and her sister is the queen. In the Yongzheng Dynasty, this is not the emperor, but also her sister's adopted son.
When Hongzhan carried him to the Queen's Palace, his status immediately changed.Although it was not sent under the empress's name and did not have the status of a direct prince, the meaning is different.The courtiers of the imperial family were also confused by Fourth Master's coquettish operation, saying that the emperor looked at Zhong Hongzhan, right?A little milk doll, what can he fancy?Whether he can grow up is still a matter of debate, and he doesn't know if he will be a dandy when he grows up.Can it be compared with an adult prince?After much deliberation, I feel that it still has the same meaning as wedding regulations, which is to tell everyone that he still has a candidate for the heir in his heart, so don't stand in line blindly.Then there is a warning to Hongli and Hongzhou, don't make trouble, if you, Ama, are more ruthless, write Hongzhan under the name of the queen, and come out as a prince, everyone will be cold.
"Then you always bring Hong Zhou, will the emperor and the child have some misunderstandings?" Chu Ran thought, Mr. Xiao used Hong Zhou as a tool in order to deceive Hong Li, so stop giving Hong Zhou his heart. Bigger?
"Am I that stupid? Besides, Hong Zhou is really smart, and he knows what it means after a little bit of dialing. Now Hong Li has not been trained as a prince, so he doesn't have to pretend to be stupid, he can just be a good boy with peace of mind." Baby, it should be his and he is indispensable, so don’t worry about it if you shouldn’t think about it. I really don’t know what will happen in the end.”
oh.The two boys, Chu Ran, don't have much contact with each other, and they don't know exactly what kind of temperament they are.But Mr. Xiao has been in frequent contact with him, so he must know about it.
A person's character is greatly influenced by the environment.Hongzhan's early birth, the success of the government, his health, and all these factors together, Hongli had not been confirmed as the heir early, so he could not accept the training and experience of preparing for the emperor with peace of mind, and had to find ways to fight for the heir.Hong Zhou didn't need to blackmail himself early in order to protect himself, and he didn't waste his ingenuity.
Really, everything is possible in the future.
Fourth Master wanted to deal with Nian Gengyao, not even divide and conquer.
Because Nian Gengyao didn't have accomplices like the Nine Masters and Ten Masters, let alone the charge of killing his brothers.Even if you kill him, you can gain a good reputation for killing harm.He has gone too far.Corruption has embezzled more than 400 million and close to 500 million taels of silver.Not counting his usual ostentation.What kind of emperor left Sanjiangkou Jiahu to fight on the battlefield, what kind of year election, one after another, he deserved death for any one of them.You can't be punished just because you have meritorious service, you won the battle, that's impossible.
The problem is that fourth master doesn't want to kill Nian Gengyao. He has said so many things about pampering Nian Gengyao before, and he calls him a benefactor.It is not that the monarch and his ministers have never been harmonious.Just like the parent of a bear child, when he is angry, he wants to beat him to death, but he really never thought of doing it for real.Fourth master had that mentality towards Nian Gengyao.Coupled with Xiao Nian Gao's pillow style, crying and crying miserably, and the courtiers clearly saw that he didn't want to kill, but they had to fight him hard to force him to kill, and they rebelled against him.He knew in his heart that Nian Gengyao deserved to die, but he didn't want to be forced to do things.
Mr. Xiao looked at those brochures, thinking about what Chu Ran said at home when he heard him talk about how to fool Fourth Master, who is not a baby anymore.Stubborn donkeys have to smooth their hair.Although the words are crude, they are not completely unreasonable.
This is not, he is happy to stand up to him.Knowing that people deserve to die, but I don’t want to kill them in my heart, I can still gain the upper hand and make the right choice. Now that I’m good and excited, I won’t listen to you, what to do.
Willfulness came up.
"It's the same for these scholars. They are all stupid. Why are they so stupefied and don't know how to turn? They hit the south wall anyway and know how to turn around. They are all brains, and they are really stubborn. I didn't know to take a look at the Tongtian Avenue next to me. Su Peisheng, go, go to the South Study Room and call a few people, and write down these personal names for the Lord. In the future, if there is such an errand that can only be done by a stubborn head, start from these It's really good." Mr. Xiao babbled and scolded those who got the paperwork.As soon as Su Peisheng told him to call someone, Ma Liuer went.You must listen to what the thirteenth master said.Otherwise, the emperor will not be happy.
"Fourth brother, don't be angry, I will write people down, next time there are other things, if they don't have this time, see how I deal with them. I still don't believe it, and increase the salary by ten times One person can't do the work of three people. Cut off [-]% of the officials who don't work, and the remaining people are guaranteed to be more diligent. There are not many other things in the Qing Dynasty, but there are many people. Are you afraid that no one will use it? Those who have the ability will all quit. We have soldiers in our hands, so we are not afraid of anything."
Now the salaries of these officials are really not high, and the retirement system is good, but why do people in their [-]s and [-]s still want to retire?Just because, after retiring, the pension is received according to the salary silver.But the real big ones in daily life are spending money with fire, raising money with honesty, and respecting those incomes other than salary.The officials took advantage of Nian Gengyao's affairs to make trouble with the emperor, and it was also because of the trial implementation of Huo Consumption, which affected people's interests.Now he is taking the opportunity to show what he did when he was a rectification official in Emperor Qianlong.The timing was just right.
The fourth master is a man who knows how to live on a budget. When he heard Thirteen said that he wanted to increase his salary, his heart trembled. He silently calculated how much money he had to add for so many officials in the Qing Dynasty. The surplus of layoffs was not enough for the salary increase Son, my heart ached so much. "Don't need to add so much?" He thought, his thirteenth brother can't be so ignorant, right?When I was a child in the South Study Room, he taught arithmetic himself, and he learned it very well.
"Compared to the money they used to waste money, raise money, and be greedy, it's much less." Among other things, let's take the magistrate of Yangzhou, a small fourth-rank official, with a reasonable and compliant income for a year. Small 10 taels.Three years to Qing Zhifu, [-] snowflake silver, which is really too little in Yangzhou.But after earning so much, six out of ten are greedy.Losing more than a salary is more than a hundred times a thousand times.
The more important significance of the increase in salary is to guarantee the security after you become an official. You can work safely until you retire. It can guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Look at their dishonesty.
Don't say anything about collective strikes.When it comes to their own interests, you can see if they can unite.A lot of salary and silver are there, you see if anyone is willing to be controlled more strictly.Everyone who has just entered the officialdom wants to be a clean official, and no one is rushing to be a corrupt official.Don't talk about the petty officials below, is the enmity between the eighth master and the fourth master?Do you think he is willing to let go of the power in his hand?If he was really willing, Master Nine and Master Ten would not be transferred away so easily.It would be great if they all left their picks and went home to be an idle clan, and they couldn't afford to be hungry.After all, it’s not worth it!
People, as long as there are desires, there is nothing that cannot be dealt with.
The fourth master thought for three days, and finally looked at his thirteenth brother's face, and said, "The national treasury is not rich right now, let's triple it first?"
OK. "Respect."
Then the decree went down, and it was spread across the country. Where the New Deal was implemented well, according to the progress, the reform of the New Deal was completed one day earlier, and the salaries of officials were increased one day earlier.
Special inspectors were also arranged, with 27 provinces and [-] groups of people, each responsible for one to three provinces, leading people, nothing else, just bringing the news about the New Deal issued by the emperor in the year since he became the throne. The edict, as well as the edicts related to ordinary people, were read out one by one, and they were explained to the illiterate people in the most common vernacular.In each team, there will be one or two hidden guards, and there will be secret reports on whether the propaganda is in place and whether they are fooling people.
These people are not only able to preach imperial edicts.Then I met the common people on the front line, chatting, can I also chat about the gossip or something in the capital?Compared with scholars, more common people in this era are illiterate.You scholars can distribute brainwashing packages, why not?Can't the emperor?What about Zeng Jing, this and that, we made up a few stories about your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, all of which are down-to-earth stories that ordinary people love to hear, won’t it make you stink?
There is also Ba Ye, who is not a virtuous person, so I will pass on your virtuous name to you.Then he was in charge of disaster relief, embankment repairs and other living imperial edicts, saying that the emperor also believed that the eight sage kings are the ones who care about the world the most, those who care about the people, and the ones who can do these things well. That's why I entrusted all these things to him, and I believe he will be able to handle them well.He also hinted to the common people that if there is a problem with these matters, they can just find the Eight Sage Kings, the emperor has given him the greatest power.Let's talk about how much the emperor loves Ba Ye in the form of gossip, whether he wants wind or rain or whatever.
Can't kill him.
It doesn't take many people to do these things.A team of twenty articulate men can do it neatly.A total of 500 people is enough.No matter how lonely fourth master is, how can he not even have such a manpower!
In places like Jiangnan, there are many people, there are people with money and leisure, and there are many scholars, so it is not easy to brainwash them.But there are people.Li Wei is in Jiangnan.That's a capable person, if you tell him the routine, he can definitely do it well.That person, anyone who is so crooked can come, and ordinary punks don't have as many bad ideas as him.He's an out-and-out big bastard.
After these few sets of combined punches, the emperor does not need to urge the New Deal. The old officials who are serving in various places are more anxious than anyone else.Without it, their salaries and silver will increase, and their pensions will increase by hundreds or thousands of taels a year. With the implementation of the New Deal, tax exemption is no longer possible, and a lot of income has been lost. Shouldn't they find compensation from other places?
Those students who clamored that studying is useless stopped making noise.It used to be that if you won the election, you didn’t have to pay taxes. Now you can be an official for a lifetime without worrying about droughts and floods.It is even more desperate to enter the officialdom through the imperial examination.
This largely diverted the attention of readers.The investigation efforts of the Beijing officials who were dismissed and went home to farm the land have also subsided.They were the first batch to get their salaries raised, and they were also the ones who got the most raises.It will be of no benefit to fight against the emperor again.Be honest.
There are a few people who are still determined to impeach Nian Gengyao, but they can't stir up any waves.The emperor doesn't even care.The eighth master kept asking for money and food every day, but the fourth master also controlled him.Whether you give it or not depends on whether you are good or not. If you want ten stones to give three stones, if you can't do the job well, the common people will scold you. Dry.Day by day, Ba Ye was very tired. Of course, he seemed to be able to handle it with ease.Is it hard to know that I know.Anyway, if he wanted to trip up fourth master again, he didn't have so much energy and no conditions.
When no one forced Fourth Master to kill Nian Gengyao, and Nian Gengyao himself thought that he had escaped a catastrophe and started to make a difference to the next level, the military power was taken away by Yue Zhongqi overnight.Then the imperial decree transferred him to be the general of Hangzhou.It’s interesting enough, you’re still a first-rank official, how wonderful it is that you take care of your old age carelessly, and you’ve fully honored the kindness of the monarch and his ministers.If people don't, just do it.
Li Wei is in the south of the Yangtze River, and he works in Hangzhou. Fourth Master, it is not clear what he has done.Just give him a push to the end, and don't let him see the city gate.Instead, he was transferred back to Beijing and asked to go to the Ministry of War to look at the warehouse.
No one dared to force the emperor to kill him.The emperor doesn't have to bear the reputation of killing heroes.He was also benevolent to the Nian family, saving the lives of his family and not ransacking the family.Only one rich man was killed, because he wanted to run away with the money his father coveted.And these years, relying on his father's power, he has done many bad things, and his death will not be wronged.
Xiao Nian Gao's body was always like that, but she couldn't get over this stimulation.Fourth master deserved to be harassed by Nian Gengyao, and his feelings for Xiao Nian Gao have faded a lot, plus he is getting older and sick, so it doesn't affect his appearance.Should I say it or not, fourth master is really a scumbag on this.Li's old age is getting old and he is getting along with Xiao Nian Gao, but Xiao Nian Gao's fate is not as good as Li's.At least Mrs. Li is still alive, she is dead.
Good guy, the death of Xiao Nian Gao seems to have turned on the switch of Fourth Master's scumbag.Once the first emperor's filial piety period is over, he no longer lives with anyone, and starts to run hard towards the young little nobles in the palace.
There are Mr. Xiao and Chu Ran who are recuperating their bodies openly and secretly. From the queen mother to the emperor and queen, they are all in good health.In addition, Mr. Xiao is very careful not to let him get too tired, he is afraid that he will die of exhaustion early, and that prodigal son Hongli will be taken advantage of.If you are in good health, you still have time, but you will have more time if you don't turn your cards around.
In July of the fourth year of Yongzheng, Hongzhan was fiddled with early.Life is seven years ahead of schedule.
After four and a half years, the government finally got it right.Today, the Military Aircraft Department still looks at those people, not a single newcomer, and not a single old one is missing.But the situation is very different.
The fourth master is still the fourth master, and his methods are much better than Hongli's.When Hongli first came to the throne, he was also diligent, and it took ten years to secure the throne.It only took the fourth master less than five years to straighten out the messy government affairs left by Mr. Kangxi.
The government is getting smoother and smoother, and the fourth master's becoming the emperor is getting smoother and smoother.The thirteenth master is also getting more and more favored, and his power is getting heavier and heavier.
Nian Gengyao has long since become a thing of the past.The Eighth Master Party has long been beaten into a mess. The Ninth Master runs outside all year round. It takes at least a year to go to sea. He doesn’t like to stay in the capital when he comes back. Special order, I have become the supervisory minister of the thirteenth industry, and I spend most of my time there. I live a small life, not to mention how rich I am.She was still trying to get Grand Concubine Yi to go there, Grand Concubine Yi really wanted to go, but Fifth Master refused to let her, saying that she was getting old and afraid of spoiling the old lady.The two sons saw Tian'er writing letters to fight for their mother, the old lady was very happy, every time Master Jiu sent someone to deliver things back, they had to go to the Changchun Garden, and the Queen Mother moved to live in the garden.She gave something to the queen mother, and then the old sisters recalled the past together, feeling the present day with emotion.She can be regarded as an indirect expression of gratitude on behalf of her son.Master Shi also did a good job of patrolling the border. The queen begged for mercy. After the emperor promised Shi Fujin to accompany him, the couple stayed on the grassland for most of the year.With Shi Fujin here, it is very convenient to visit those old princesses and little princesses in Fumeng. There are those princesses who are not angry, or slaves who coerce their masters. , her identity is completely capable of doing this master.From time to time, he took the little princesses from the capital out to meet the world, horse racing and hunting.The little girls are much more alive and healthy.Once back in Beijing, the palace and all the mansions were chattering, and it was lively when I heard it.
Everything that needs to be cleaned up is almost cleaned up, the most troublesome Eighth Master Party has been cleaned up, who is left?Longkodo.
The more powerful the Thirteenth Lord is, the more troubled Longkodo will be.Ever since the first emperor's funeral, when he stopped the Thirteenth Lord from leaving the garden in the Changchun Garden, the Thirteenth Lord has never had a peaceful relationship with him.
He didn't break the rules, he didn't violate the emperor's order, no one can say that he did something wrong.His order to the first emperor was actually fulfilled.Therefore, fourth master never delved into that matter, and gave him all the honor and favor that should be given to him.The minister of the study room, the minister of military aircraft, and Tong Zhongtang, who everyone respects when he goes out.But he himself knew that it had been almost five years, and he had been almost empty, without any real power.The Minister of Military Aircraft has a high position and authority, but he can't make decisions on his own. Big things have to be negotiated, and the things that can be made in his hands are insignificant and trivial.It's either the Ministry of Rites or the Lifan Academy, the Shangzhi Academy and other things.That's what the handyman said.Unfortunately, it was not clear from the brochure that the major events sent out were all joint names of the Military Aircraft Department. His name was before Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi, and only behind Thirteenth Master and Eighth Master.How do outsiders see him, how high and powerful he is.The most powerful admiral of the Nine Gates is handed over as soon as he enters the study room. After a few years of job rotation, his old team has already changed to few people left.What he said is fart now in the admiral's office.
By now, he has almost become an invisible man in the military aircraft department.He doesn't speak easily, of course, it's useless to say it, if he raises some opinions, Lord Thirteen will definitely object.The emperor must be on the side of Lord Thirteen.It's useless to say.Even if what he said is right, good opinions are useless.The Thirteenth Master would rather refute him first, and let others raise it in the past, than accept his opinion.The emperor acted as if he didn't see it, and let the thirteenth master bully him.After weeping and complaining about his grievances a few times, the emperor comforted him by saying that the Thirteenth Lord was a public-minded person, he was not that kind of person, he would talk about the Thirteenth Lord, and he would do what he should do in the end.I have never seen Thirteenth Lord say a word.So I could hear from time to time that Lord Thirteen was in charge of the emperor's affairs, and today he got angry and removed the mutton.Tomorrow, I will not let out the house if I wear less clothes for the season.He is not stupid, three times and two times, he is not convinced, ten times and eight times, there is still something he doesn't understand.He is a real brother, and his uncle who is turning around is nothing.
"When will Longkodo be cleaned up?" Chu Ran was also curious, is this fish just kept like this?
"Hurry up. The old fox knows that the master has been looking for him all these years, so he is very careful. But who made him fail to repair his inner curtains and fail to raise a good son. Someone is rushing to give him the blame." Mr. Xiao sneered nagging.
"Who is it?" The son cheated Lao Tzu, and he must cheat every time.
"Li Si'er, aren't you most interested in those celebrities who fight in the house?" Mr. Xiao started to mock Chu Ran with a chuckle.Just because Chu Ran was always thinking about the harems of the princes, and he was even more concerned about the harem of the fourth master. He was always thinking about the script of house fighting and palace fighting, which made him hold the handle.
Oh oh oh, I know, I know, Chu Ran nodded suddenly, Li Si'er, a celebrity, I know too well.A tough concubine, a brain-dead man, a magical family.But Chu Ran has never met Li Si'er in person. Because she is a concubine, she can't be on the stage, and she can't participate in serious occasions.No matter how much Long Kedo spoils her, it's useless. No matter how oppressed the clan Fujin are, they will not surrender their status to befriend a concubine.And there are actually many occasions where Chu Ran can attend.Prince Yi Fujin's identity already has a symbolic meaning, except for the family affairs of the elder brothers, she attends according to family rituals, and the residences of several old princes all depend on the situation.Therefore, all ears are full of Li Si'er's prestige and prestige history, but the real person has never seen it.
Apart from the ladies in the harem of the fourth master, the most famous one she saw was the Eight Fujin.It is said that Ba Ye is afraid of his wife, and he has a very good relationship with Ba Fujin.Famous is not as good as meeting, that's all.For that man, Ba Ye, the good reputation is his, and the bad reputation is left to others.Eight Fujin was just used as a shield by him.There must be feelings, but to say whether you are afraid or not is bullshit.How many years without children, it is said that Di Fujin is powerful and jealous.But let's put it down, no matter what Eight Fujin is, she was born there, and was raised in Prince An's house, so she doesn't have the education environment that pulls the prince's elder brother to prevent her from having children.It is obvious that Eighth Master is from his own background, so he wants a son-in-law. He doesn't want to have a son with the same background as him, and he doesn't want others to see his secret inferiority complex, so he puts all the blame on Bafujin.Men can't understand Xiao Jiujiu here. They are both women. There is nothing they can't understand. Not only Chu Ran can understand. The queen has a lot of dealings with Bafujin. The two houses were neighbors in the past. They have been neighbors for nearly 20 years. What can't be seen? Come out.It's just that everyone pretends to be confused.
Also because the eight blessings were different from the rumors, Chu Ran thought that Li Si'er's matter was exaggerated by others, for the sake of Hei Longkodo.Unexpectedly, this one is real.
"What did she do?" Chu Ran was still curious.
"It's not what she did. It's her good son who competed with the second boy of Prince Jane's family for a singing girl. Compared with the money, he spent five or six thousand taels. The group fights have been dated several times. A couple It's a scam."
"Oh, I really like his family, Fujin. He has a good temper. Also, his Fujin is the stepmother, and his sons were all born to Fujin first, and the little Guerjia family only gave birth to a daughter. He came to us a few days ago. Er Gege went to the house to listen to the play. I heard that he fell in love with the nephew of the natal family of the fourteenth brother and sister, and I don't know if there is a marriage agreement."
When Mr. Xiao heard that what she was talking about was all the words of the woman in the back house, he didn't have the heart to talk to her about the outside world.This person is also very godly. When she was the leader of the gang, she was also a proper domineering female president. Now that she has become a Fujin, she really just stays in the back house with all her heart, raising her children, being the director of the family, and not caring about the outside affairs at all. up.
"Speaking of marriage, Er Gege is already in her twenties, don't you still think about her? If she stays here again, Er Gege will really become an old lady." Mr. Xiao had to mention one thing.Of course he wouldn't dislike his daughter being at home, but that's not the case in this era.All the noble girls of the Manchu nationality marry late, and there are many people who get married in the 22th or [-]th year, but there are really not many who stay in their twenties and stay unmarried.Unless you catch up with the filial piety period several times in a row.Just like what she just mentioned, Prince Jane's stepmother Guarjar, was originally worthy of a prince's concubine Fujin based on her background, but she kept filial piety for seven years, which delayed her marriage. She was only [-] years old Married, can only be a second wife.
"Isn't this just watching? It's almost there, almost." Er Gege is Zhao Jia's first daughter, and was originally married to the son of her sixth sister's family in history.Of course Chu Ran would not agree.It's one thing to look down on her sixth sister's family, and it's absolutely impossible to look down on her close relatives.
Now it is really difficult for the daughter of Prince Yi's family to find her husband's family.The family of the courtiers that the fourth master needs to use cannot be found, and he is suspected of forming a clique.Among the eight major surnames, how many generations have been married, and they are more or less related by blood. It is not easy to think that one identity is enough, but the blood relationship is still far away.Like the Fucha family, the daughter of the family has just proposed marriage to Hongli, so she cannot marry.Fortunately, the fourth master wants to improve the status of Hanchen and promote the integration of Manchu and Han.With Zhang Tingyu as the representative in the imperial court, the ranking of the Military Aircraft Division has been improving.Mr. Xiao also told the fourth master that he wanted to find a Han family for his daughter.Hasn't she been teasing Hanchen all the time?
If I don't want my daughter to be wronged, of course I have to find a noble family.There is no need for a high-ranking family, the most important thing is to have rules, the family style is clean and upright, and there are no messy concubines to add to the obstruction, it is very good.
She has already found two families in the Hanlin Academy, and is finally checking the child's own character.
"Don't just worry about Er Ge Ge, Si Ge Ge, you should think more about it too. Yesterday, a child asked the little eunuch to come out and send me a message, saying that you haven't entered the palace to water her little gourd for half a month. .”
"Isn't Master Jiu returning to Beijing recently, bringing back a lot of goods, and I'm busy developing new products. There is also our garden, which needs to be tidied up. I haven't worked hard enough. I will go tomorrow, and I will go tomorrow."
When Si Gege was sent to the palace to be raised by the queen, the queen thought of Chu Ran's love, and really raised the child by her side, and lived with her in Zhongcui Palace.Everyone knew that the child would be caressed in the future, and Chu Ran also planned ahead, except that Shi Fujin played with the child for a while before entering the palace, and then brought him home from time to time to follow Shi Fujin.In the palace, in the small courtyard where she lived, she begged the queen to specially build a flower pot, planted a gourd in it, and told the child that this was the fairy gourd that Ama begged for her specially. The relatives watered the gourd with their own hands every day, and raised it until she was married. They picked the gourd to make a water hyacinth and gave it to her as a dowry. After that, she drank the water from the water gourd every day, which would bless her with a long and healthy life, free from disease and disaster.Of course this is all made up.Just to let the child have a sustenance, relatives water it with their own hands every day, which means that she is favored, and with that gourd by her side, it will relieve her homesickness even if she is far away from home in the future. A small piece of yushui stone can really strengthen the body.
Since the gourd vine was planted, of course Chu Ran couldn't enter the palace every day, but whenever she entered the palace, she had to pour some water.Usually, the queen pours it herself, and never fakes the hands of others.The emperor and the thirteenth master often went to Zhongcui Palace to eat, and they did not water less.The Queen Mother always has three or five times a year to move her body and go to brush her face.Even if the emperor was not in the palace and the harem was transferred to the Old Summer Palace, there would always be the prince or her brother or younger brother who stayed behind in the palace and would come here every day to water the little gourd.Even in the winter, it never stops. Watering three or five drops in the jar will not hurt the roots, but it is of great significance.More than two years have passed, and Si Gege is watching the little gourd closely.I miss my mother, let alone think about it, and say that I haven't watered her little gourd for a long time.
Chu Ran handed over the sign and entered the palace early the next day.
I brought the jewelry and foreign goods I just got, and this time I also brought some southern fruits that can be stored.Jackfruit, durian, pineapple, banana and so on.Some have been seen in the palace before, and some have not.
At the gate of Zhongcui Palace, I happened to meet Concubine Xi who was going out, still wiping her tears.After a simple greeting with each other, they separated.At this time, it was long past the time when the concubines greeted the queen, and this one is still there, crying out?How did you say it?The queen is fine, why make things difficult for her?The third elder brother has been suppressed by the fourth master since then because of the fraud case in the examination room. The child is almost depressed, and now he is learning from the eighth master to do business.Fourth master said, doesn't he like his eighth uncle, so learn more from his eighth master, if he can learn half of his eighth master's skills, he will never be able to use them in his life.He also said that if he gets along well with his eighth uncle, it is not impossible to be his eighth uncle's son.I don’t know if Ba Ye was scared or not, Hongshi was scared to death, and Miao Hongwang, the only seedling of Ba Ye’s family, was depressed. I was afraid that the emperor would really adopt Hongshi to his Ama, so Prince Lian’s What's the matter with him?The emperor must give him his own son.At home, I didn't lightly make a fuss about him, Ama.But speaking of this matter, Hongshi was abandoned by the fourth master, and his disqualification to inherit the Datong was a certainty.As for the rest, Fuhui's health is not good, and it may be ruined at any time.Hongzhan is still a nursing baby, only Hongli and Hongzhou are left.The queen must be stupid to embarrass their biological mother?
"What's the situation?" Chu Ran asked directly when she saw the queen.
The empress had an inexplicable smile on her face, "I dislike that the wedding standard prepared by the Ministry of Rites for Hongli is too low."
what?
Is the Ministry of Rites out of their minds to embarrass Hongli?
"I want to follow the prince's regulations." The queen added another sentence.
what?
Chu Ran was stunned, unable to react.
What's the matter?Is this a disguised test of fourth master's attitude?If Hongli's wedding was really held according to the regulations of the crown prince, then there is not much difference between the establishment of the crown prince and the establishment of the crown prince.
Really can make trouble.
"Then why did you send her away? She went out crying." Chu Ran was curious.
"Crying? Hehe. How can I get rid of her? This is a matter for the Ministry of Rites. Let her talk to the Ministry of Rites. I can't tell you."
Oh, then this crying is just a show, crying for the emperor to let people know that she is crying out of Zhongcui Palace.Chu Ran understood it after thinking about it.
Then she smiled and said jokingly with the queen: "Then this time, I think Concubine Xi will be disappointed."
The queen patted her hand and smiled, and everyone knew it.
We all know that it is impossible for fourth master to express his opinion so early.
"Their mother and son, why are you in such a hurry?" Back home, Chu Ran asked Mr. Xiao, such a big move, definitely couldn't be done by Concubine Xi with a slap in the face, what a big deal it is.
Mr. Xiao seemed in a good mood, "Because I like Hong Zhou better, and I often bring that kid with me. Hong Li tried to get close to me several times, but I didn't answer. He was afraid that the emperor would be influenced by me, so he chose Hong Zhou. Is it age? Young, he has not been trained according to the standards of an heir, and he is in a hurry, and his methods are too rough."
Fourth master just got rid of a restless Hongshi, and you Hongli went out, can you get used to your problems?He has only been on the throne for five years now, and he has just felt a little bit like being an emperor. Okay, you boy are starting to miss the emperor's throne under your father's ass?What's the difference between this and wishing for your own father's early death?Can you not clean him up?
No, Concubine Xi left the Zhongcui Palace crying.Two days later, the emperor made a decree that the marriages of the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother should be handled in accordance with the rules of the elder brother's wedding.Back then, the elder brother was also very favored, and if he was not favored, he could not be raised to have the ability and strength to wrestle with the prince.But the big brother's ending was not good either, because he missed the throne, he was permanently imprisoned.The meaning of this warning could not be more obvious.If you two boys are dishonest and think about it blindly, that will be the end of the elder brother.
That's not counting, and Hong Zhan was taken to the queen's palace to raise him later.Since Fuhui passed away as Concubine Nian, she was raised in the Empress Dowager's Palace.The meaning of being raised by the empress dowager and being raised by the queen is very different.Fourth master himself was raised by the imperial concubine at that time and later empress Tong when he was a child.Otherwise, Long Kedo couldn't be ashamed to say that he is the prince's uncle, except that his aunt is Kangxi's biological mother, and her sister is the queen. In the Yongzheng Dynasty, this is not the emperor, but also her sister's adopted son.
When Hongzhan carried him to the Queen's Palace, his status immediately changed.Although it was not sent under the empress's name and did not have the status of a direct prince, the meaning is different.The courtiers of the imperial family were also confused by Fourth Master's coquettish operation, saying that the emperor looked at Zhong Hongzhan, right?A little milk doll, what can he fancy?Whether he can grow up is still a matter of debate, and he doesn't know if he will be a dandy when he grows up.Can it be compared with an adult prince?After much deliberation, I feel that it still has the same meaning as wedding regulations, which is to tell everyone that he still has a candidate for the heir in his heart, so don't stand in line blindly.Then there is a warning to Hongli and Hongzhou, don't make trouble, if you, Ama, are more ruthless, write Hongzhan under the name of the queen, and come out as a prince, everyone will be cold.
"Then you always bring Hong Zhou, will the emperor and the child have some misunderstandings?" Chu Ran thought, Mr. Xiao used Hong Zhou as a tool in order to deceive Hong Li, so stop giving Hong Zhou his heart. Bigger?
"Am I that stupid? Besides, Hong Zhou is really smart, and he knows what it means after a little bit of dialing. Now Hong Li has not been trained as a prince, so he doesn't have to pretend to be stupid, he can just be a good boy with peace of mind." Baby, it should be his and he is indispensable, so don’t worry about it if you shouldn’t think about it. I really don’t know what will happen in the end.”
oh.The two boys, Chu Ran, don't have much contact with each other, and they don't know exactly what kind of temperament they are.But Mr. Xiao has been in frequent contact with him, so he must know about it.
A person's character is greatly influenced by the environment.Hongzhan's early birth, the success of the government, his health, and all these factors together, Hongli had not been confirmed as the heir early, so he could not accept the training and experience of preparing for the emperor with peace of mind, and had to find ways to fight for the heir.Hong Zhou didn't need to blackmail himself early in order to protect himself, and he didn't waste his ingenuity.
Really, everything is possible in the future.
