[Qing wear] Harem promotion expert

Jiang Heng has experienced the death of an elderly relative.

Her great-grandmother is an old man who has lived to be 92 years old from the old society to the new century.Like many old people who have suffered a lot in the old days, she has a tough and optimistic temperament, and feels that the days of old age are extremely sweet.On the day the old man passed away, he cooked a bowl of braised noodles for himself, and then went to take a nap with the large radio bought by his children and grandchildren, and died in his sleep without any cause.

No suffering from illness, and at the age of more than 90, everyone comforts me that this is the blessing of the old age that can only be obtained by doing good deeds in one life, and it is joy and sorrow.

The family also comforted themselves in this way.

However, the deceased died with a smile on his face, while those who stayed behind were still suffering the pain of loss even though they held such comfort.

I can't tell when it will come like a needle prick, remembering that my relatives are no longer there.

The emperor is in such a state.

As a result, the emperor spent more and more time on government affairs. From the death of the Empress Dowager in the first month of the 19th year of Yongzheng until the first month of the 20th year, according to reliable sources (the source is Guan Bao, who has entered the military aircraft department), the emperor's annual The number of batches has surprisingly doubled.

How could it be doubled? !Even the courtiers who have been with the emperor for 20 years are all "my friends and I are stunned"-could it be that the emperor's superhuman workload is still restrained?

Only Jiang Heng can answer this question: indeed.

I think the emperor had the experience of dying from overwork in his previous life, and he paid great attention to sustainable development in this life. He has always been driving in energy-saving mode, and this time he has switched to a real workaholic mode.

Since the 19th year of Yongzheng, more than [-] officials in the capital and all over the country who have the qualifications to directly submit the papers to the emperor, who have not sent the papers for more than two months, have kindly received reminders from the Forbidden City: "There is nothing to play for several months? I don't yet have the ability to rule the world with a hand in my hands, so you can see that Qing is a great talent."

The emperor, who was in a depressed mood, also turned on the taunting function by the way, "asking the officials considerately": If you don't give me a note for two months, there is nothing under my rule that requires me to make a decision. It shows that you are better than me.

As long as it is not an official with a brain problem, whoever accepts this kind of trick can sleep well!Why don't you hurry up and write memorials all night long? !

Fortunately, there are some down-to-earth officials who are not without discounts, but their original intentions were diverted. Thinking of the death of the Queen Mother in Beijing, it doesn't matter if they press down and report again.

Now that he understood the emperor's intentions, he hurriedly sorted out the details of the food harvest, population and people's livelihood in the area under his jurisdiction and reported it to the Long Live God in Beijing.

However, some officials thought that the emperor should be careless about political affairs, so they took advantage of the national mourning to become lazy, and were suddenly asked to hand in the official records. How could they hand them in for a while?I had no choice but to make up some messy accounts or stuff some local anecdotes at random, and then I bit the bullet and sent a booklet.

Of course the results were not pretty.

Many officials lost their jobs and returned to the masses.

No matter how much the emperor is a workaholic, he will not know how to divide and perform. If he can't do it, he won't waste time counting the officials who haven't signed up for two months.

But he has four little thugs.

The four princes now go to class in the noon, ride and shoot in the afternoon, and work the night shift in Huang Ama's black heart workshop in the evening.Facing the astonishing number of cabinets, I went through one by one to count the quantity, frequency and quality of these thousands of officials in the past year.

In fact, in the past, the courtiers handed the booklets to the emperor, and the emperor approved them and returned them, so that's the end of it.

In the days of the first emperor, the records would eventually be kept in the hands of the courtiers themselves, but when the emperor ascended the throne, not only the general direction of official administration, but also various detailed management models were reformed: in order to manage Zhu Zhu not to leak out, and to check the documents in the future, The courtiers received the copy with Zhu's approval, copied a copy by themselves, and finally packed the original copy and sent it to the imperial city for archiving.

Both Hongshi and Hongzhou were in pain.

They don't want the throne, so this job is pure hard labor.

Hongshi has already identified his own position: to be an ambassador for the smoking ban, to inspect foreign ships, to prohibit drugs including but not limited to drugs such as hibiscus, or to invade China. Grass seeds were scattered out by accident, causing several villages in Fujian to grow only this kind of grass!If it weren't for the local county magistrate who had some knowledge to kill them immediately and let the flood go, I'm afraid that the crops in a whole city would be taken up by grass, and there might be a famine.

Although there is no concept of species invasion at this time, the benefits are always real. The grass of the foreigners can kill all the local crops and plants and grow strong. Is that okay?

The officials reported it layer by layer, and the emperor also attracted attention, and officials who were familiar with the farming and sang affairs were sent down to investigate.Therefore, a very cumbersome task has been added to the work of the Haiphong inspection office, which is to prevent the entry of various creatures from overseas.As one of the senior officials of the inspector's office, Hongshi is more suitable for this status, rather than a prince who dare not breathe in front of the emperor.

If the Empress Dowager and the Empress hadn't passed away one after another, he would have to go back to Beijing to observe his filial piety as a junior, and he would still travel around with the Twelfth Lord on business and would not want to come back.

No, when he came back, he was arrested as a strong man, and he lived the life he didn't like the most - working for Huang Ama, with no extra income, and often being scolded.

The same is true for Hong Zhou: he is just a simple-minded person, but now he is an Ama in his 20s, and he has a thought about life in his heart.

Like Hongshi, he was as uninterested in the position of crown prince, so he also began to look for errands he could do in the future.In the past few years, under the order of the emperor, he has rotated various ministries for a few days. Now he is very interested in the construction of water conservancy with Master Thirteen, and the foreign affairs office where he stayed with Master Jiu for a period of time (this belongs to being hit by money. mind) and the novelty of building a government office.

Hong Zhou felt that these tasks were more interesting, and he had a sympathetic heart with Hong Shi, a brother who was not in a good relationship: the work of arranging papers under Huang Ama's eyes was difficult and painful, and I don't know when it will be the end!

Hongli only ate a piece of amber walnut and drank half a glass of crispy cheese, then walked to the side and rinsed his mouth with his hands, and then just sat and drank tea, waiting for the other brothers to finish their snacks.

The amber walnut has a honey-like luster, is sweet and crisp, and the crispy cheese is also smooth and refreshing. The most wonderful thing is the texture, which is like a slightly trembling tender tofu.

It was delicious, but Hongli still couldn't finish it.

Because this dim sum has too strong flavor of Yonghe Palace.

Habits are terrible.Many years ago, with the emperor's acquiescence, Eunuch Su began to bring snacks from the Yonghe Palace to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Now there are traces of Yonghe Palace everywhere in this Hall of Mental Cultivation. Maybe the emperor is used to it, but Hongli's carefulness can still be seen.

Hongli couldn't finish it, and the rest of the princes ate happily.

One hour to rest, who can not be tired?

Hong Zhou vaguely remembered hearing Er Niang mention that in the imperial concubine's palace, the literate maids were given a break every three quarters. Compared with Huang Ama, the treatment is not as good...

Of course, I only dare to think about it in my heart, and I absolutely dare not protest.

So Hongshi Hongzhou cherished this moment of snacks very much, and it was really stressful and physical labor, and he was already hungry. Hongshi quickly finished off a whole plate of amber walnuts and a plate of sesame rolls with three layers.Hong Zhou was asking the eunuch to bring him the third bowl of pastry.

Since Hongli didn't eat dim sum, his eyes fell on the sixth brother.

Unlike Hongshi Hongzhou who was forced to work, Hongli knew that he and his sixth brother cherished and yearned for this job very much—this was a rare opportunity to learn about government affairs!

There were more than [-] officials in the Qing Dynasty (official officials, not counting officials who were not included in the records of the court), and officials with the right to go up were one-tenth of the most important.

For an ambitious prince, this is the best opportunity to know the names of important courtiers, and this opportunity will never come again.

What's more, what they can see is not only the official's official position, first and last name, but also the content of the zhezi. From this, they can distinguish among these courtiers, who has the right to zhezi when they reach the official position, and who is Huang Ama's favorite person, even if the official position Temporarily lower, but you can also get an additional right to discount.

Not to mention that the booklets also involve important affairs such as local government, taxation, and military defense. From the booklets, you can see what they yearn for and the great rivers and mountains they want to have.

Interest and ambition are the best teachers, and the daily statistics of Hongli and Hongshang are much more than those of Hongshi and Hongzhou.

And the emperor's request this time is also a bit weird, it is not like before, asking each of them to hand in how much homework, but asking for the total amount, the four of them will complete the task after picking as much as they can, and they can rest together.

The emperor obviously no longer forces every prince to be interested in zhezi and government affairs.It can be seen that this is the first, or even the last, equal opportunity.

All the books of the world are in front of you.

Prove to me what you can do to be the master of the world in the future.The emperor, at least the qualified emperor recognized by Lord Yongzheng, is by no means an easy task. If the basic foundation work cannot be completed, how can we talk about doing more and doing better?

So both Hongli and Hongzhang worked extremely hard—this was a big test for Huang Ama.

At this time, Hongli continued to look at the only competitor he identified in this big test by drinking tea.

so fast.

Sixth brother turned out to be 15 years old.

The daily life of the princes is full, and Hongli feels that his 15th birthday has not passed long, and the sixth brother has grown up rapidly.

Hongli looked at Hongchang calmly from the mouth of his teacup.

The sixth brother is eating snacks intently, he always seems to have nothing else to do, whether it is reading, reading booklets, or eating snacks.

Hongzheng was pouring all the small bowl of honey on the side of the crispy cheese, and slowly eating it with a small silver spoon.

These princes can write with both hands and draw a bow. Of course, one hand is the main one, but the other hand is not unaccustomed.

At this time, the other hand of the sixth younger brother was holding the amber walnut kernel, and instead of eating it directly, dipped it into a cup of sweet cream.

Hongli had already discovered that the sixth brother loves sweets very much.

These are also the two things that Jiang Heng pays the most attention to his son: first, Hongshang has been with the emperor since he was a child in terms of workaholics. Eyes; secondly, eating sweets here, Hong Cheng has been a standard sweet tooth since he was a child, and Jiang Heng inevitably spent a lot of experience paying attention to his children's dental health.

I really don't know who it is.

The emperor's taste is salty and fresh, Jiang Heng and Min Min's taste is hot and sour, and only Hongzhang's taste is correct and sweet.

He also has high requirements for sweets: they must be sweet and not greasy, such as the kind of sugar cakes that are made to look good and sprinkled with soft white sugar on the Double Ninth Festival, he doesn't like them.

And if there is no sweets, Hiroshi's spirit will visibly drop to the naked eye.

Coming to Huang Ama to count the papers was not at all bitter for Hongzheng, firstly he was very interested in this matter, and secondly, there was ample supply of sweets here.

On weekdays, Li Erniang gave him a fixed amount of sweets.

Elder brother's place was arranged by Huang Ama himself, and Eniang was careful to avoid suspicion.When he was a child, he was taught the tricks of managing people, accounts, and affairs. Since he moved to the elder brother's office, he has seldom cared about the people and things around him.

But there is only one thing, the amount of sweets, Er Niang never relaxes.

Even though he was enjoying the sweets with no distraction, Hongzheng still felt the eyes of the fourth brother, so he raised his head and looked at Hongli Dafangfang. He smiled at the fourth brother.

Hongli suddenly looked at him, so he could only nod his head.

Unavoidably a little embarrassed, he put down the teacup, took out his pocket watch and adjusted the time against the clock.

Although he looked away, the smiling face of the sixth younger brother was still flashing in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help saying in his heart: God is too kind to the sixth younger brother.

The first son of Huang Ama after he ascended the throne, the first prince to receive a complete prince education, not like them, when he was enlightened, he was just Mr. Qing Ke of the palace who followed the scriptures; Her mother's family is the Suyihou's Mansion, which is full of talents, and her sister is also the only jewel in the palm of Huang Ama.

If these are all foreign objects, then Hongchang himself will not let down the blessing of these halos.

Even if Hongli didn't like Hongzhang since he was a child, he had to admit that the sixth younger brother had a very good appearance.

In fact, Hongli also visited the Yonghe Palace several times when he was a child.But after all, it has been a long time, and Hongli's memory of the imperial concubine's appearance is inevitably a little vague.

Until Hiroshi grew up.

If the fourth younger sister is very similar to Huang Ama, then Hongzheng is undoubtedly like a noble concubine, especially the eyebrows and eyes.In addition, his face is so handsome that it is hard to describe.However, his every move is similar to that of the emperor, even small movements such as frowning, serving tea and folding pages of a book are the same, so there is no trace of makeup on his body. If you have to say what kind of handsome, there is an old saying that is suitable : "Seeing Uncle Pei, like a jade mountain ascending, the light shines on people."

Looking good always takes advantage.

With the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the clan's reproduction accelerated and expanded.Every year at the New Year's Eve feast, there will be yellow belts and red belts bringing new children and grandchildren to show their faces to the world.Naturally, these new-generation clans would come to greet and say hello to these princes.

Several of their princes stood together, these immature newcomers who had just entered the palace to meet people, all subconsciously felt that the sixth elder brother would get along better.

Hongli could tell that they didn't follow the trend and run to the sixth younger brother, but they were frightened after entering the palace, and they subconsciously wanted to find someone more amiable and reliable to approach.

In fact, Hongli knows best that since the sixth brother was taught by Huang Ama, his temper is not very good at all!Just look good!

But young people who were nervous and panicked when they first entered the palace, how could they distinguish their tempers in a few words, but they just followed their senses, rushing to regard the best appearance as the best person.

Although Hongli didn't know that there is a famous saying "three views follow the five senses", but his feelings are not far from it!If you feel tired and don't love, most people in the world are too shallow!

Today's statistical booklet task was completed, and the emperor left Hongzhang alone.

Hongli resigned respectfully, and from the corner of his eye, he could still see Hongshang who was left behind, with no nervous expression on his face, and even took off his purse after looking at the clock, and contained a snow-white asarum salt pill.

This is a pill prepared by the Stomatology Department of Tai Hospital. They have to take it when they are young, and it has the effect of preventing tooth decay.

Hongzheng is also a little different from himself, unlike the other elder brothers, he is not so awe-inspiring as to look up to the gods and Buddhas. The two of them get along with each other, and there is a natural familiarity.For example, now, seeing that Hongshang was taking oral care pills according to the time, the emperor raised his hand and pointed, Su Peisheng understood, and quickly brought a glass of white water with his own hands.

Obviously, they are father and son who are familiar with each other's living habits.

Hongli felt sour again: After all, Hongli grew up under the watchful eye of Huang Ama. Although Hongli didn't know what the concubine was like in front of the emperor, he knew Hongli's love only by seeing how the fourth younger sister treated Huang Ama at ease. Childhood should be different from them.

After the rest of the princes had left, the emperor first asked Hongshang a few words about his experience in sorting out the notebooks.

Seeing Hong's eyebrows and eyes slightly curved, full of interest when he answered, the emperor was very satisfied: being able to regard the tedious government work as a hobby is the basic quality of being a king.

All decent princes basically have the passion to be an emperor, and there are few emperors who are born to die and want to leave a bad name in history as a faint emperor. Strong sense of responsibility and patience.

What the emperor has been testing for the past year is the patience of his sons.

Of course, patience is only the most basic. If a person has the hard work that ten cows can't pull back, but the general direction is wrong, it will be finished.

Next, the emperor will examine their plans for court affairs, whether they have a pair of discerning eyes to spot mistakes and the skills to solve them.

He has personally taught Hongzheng for many years, and it is time to accept the results.

The emperor then randomly checked a few sentences of Hongchang's book to see if he was delayed by the notebooks at night, and he was lazy in reciting during the day.

Seeing that he answered fluently, it was time to talk about the business of retaining him: "Mr. Gu's five-year death anniversary is approaching, you go out of the palace to pay homage on my behalf."

Hongzheng's slightly curved eyebrows and eyes quickly became solemn, flashing a light of solemn nostalgia and sadness: "Yes, my son had prepared a private ceremony and ordered someone to send him out of the palace, but since it is a memorial ceremony for the emperor Ama, I want to come to the Ministry of Rites Prepared gift."

When Mr. Gu taught him, he was over seventy years old. Five years ago, he passed away at the age of eighty.In these years, every time Mr. February passed away, Hongzhang would ask the emperor to go out of the palace to worship in person.Only in 19 years, because the queen mother passed away and kept her filial piety, did she not go.

I thought it would be impossible to go this year, the empress is the aunt, and it is not easy for Hongshang to bring Xiao to the teacher's door in the past three years.

Hearing that the emperor ordered him to perform the altar, Hongshang suddenly realized that both were complete, and thanked Huang Ama.

In the Yonghe Palace.

Jiang Heng called Min Min: "Did you add a few extra bowls of honey to the snack box in the Hall of Mental Cultivation?" It must be for Hong Zhang.

Minmin smiled and said: "Emiang, my brother is too bitter now, let him eat if you like sweets." She came and sat next to Jiang Heng: "In recent years, my brother's master has changed to Mr. Zhu, homework Uehara is more than twice as much as before, and Huang Ama called them to sort out the scriptures at night, if he doesn't eat something sweeter, he will be bored again."

Jiang Heng couldn't help laughing.

When Hongzheng was a child, he had a bad cough once, so the hospital banned both sweet and spicy. Hongzheng changed from a sweet little bear to a dull little bear. As a little child, he would face it after reading the book. Sky was in a daze, Minmin went to ask him, he looked at Baiyun sadly and said: "Sister, don't worry about me, I'm looking at Yinsi Tang."

However, the master Zhu surnamed Hongxin mentioned by Minmin is indeed a ruthless person.

Just one example is enough to prove his strictness: once even the emperor couldn't stand it, and said to Zhu Shi politely: "Isn't it too strict?"

This is the emperor!However, experts on chicken babies in the Qing Dynasty felt that Zhu Shi seemed to be too strict, which shows how strict Teacher Zhu is.

In the year when Zhu Shi was replaced, every time the prince came to pay his respects on the fifth, fifteenth, and 25th day of the lunar new year, Jiang Heng paid great attention to talking to his son and paying attention to his mental health problems.

After several treatments, Jiang Heng was relieved.

The new teacher Zhu is completely different from the previous Gu Badai. Fortunately, Hongshang got used to it very quickly.

Gu Badai was able to serve as the prince's master since he was the first emperor. It can be seen that he is a man of profound knowledge and talent, but this teacher Zhu was not good at learning when he was young, but was known as Huizheng.

His initial official position was only a county magistrate.In other words, this person went deep into the grassroots and worked hard all the way up.

Mr. Zhu's most brilliant political achievement is the creation of the "water tank method" to repair seawalls. This alone is a merit handed down from generation to generation, and his philosophy as an official is: "The first thing to govern an official is to punish corruption." When he was in office, not to mention his own incorruptibility, he looked at his subordinates very "enthusiastically", and even dragged his superiors to be incorruptible together.

To dig out such people and point them to Hongchang as his teacher, Jiang Heng can also see the emperor's painstaking efforts.

What he wanted to teach his son was never just the emperors and generals in books to rule with their hands.

Hongxuan also lived up to the emperor's expectations, and tried his best to absorb and digest the practical experience that Mr. Zhu gave him.

Zhu Shi started as a small local official. How could he not know the tricks and rhetoric used by officials from all over the country to fool Beijing and China?They all handed over to Sixth Brother without any secrets.For example, now, Hongshang recalled his professor's professor in front of the book, and tried to deduce which officials were weaving government affairs through speech skills.

Minmin feels that her younger brother is having a hard time now, with day and night turning around.

Jiang Heng, as his son, went to the third year of high school. He had classes during the day and did homework at night, and had to burn the lights to fight at night when he returned home.What Hongzhen will face is also a major exam that will change his life experience almost like the college entrance examination.

The 20th year of Yongzheng's pro-silkworm ceremony was not peaceful.

As a noble concubine, Jiang Heng has performed silkworm kissing rituals for several years with the guard of honor of an imperial concubine.

But this year there were voices of opposition.

"In the old rule during the reign of the first emperor, there were no masters in the six palaces, and the imperial concubine performed the silkworm ceremony. If there is no queen or imperial concubine in the palace, the silkworm ceremony will be temporarily suspended. Now that the empress has not passed the age of filial piety, I ask the emperor to suspend it according to the old regulations of the first emperor. This year's silkworm kiss ceremony."

The implication: Originally, the empress was still there, and it would be considered a violation of the old rules if the imperial concubine acted in her place, but she was acting as a replacement for the empress, and there was no condition for the imperial censor to impeach her.But now that the queen is gone, it is inappropriate for the noble concubine to go to the silkworm ceremony again!Your Majesty, you must abide by the ancestral system and stop the silkworm kiss ceremony quickly.

In fact, it's nothing more than simply writing such a note. The emperor has cultivated his moral character over the years, and his temper has improved a lot. Some notes that are not in line with the holy will are mostly ignored.

But this censor shouldn't think that if the tiger becomes a vegetarian for the time being, he won't eat meat anymore.

He actually added a sentence at the end of the excerpt that seems to be admonishing and teaching the emperor: "I beg the emperor to respect the ancestral system and not think of favoritism."

Because this is not a secret letter, it must pass the hands of the Minister of Military Aircraft first.Zhang Tingyu, who was on duty this day and was in charge of reviewing the first paper, was trembling. What kind of spirit is this looking for death!

With the kindness of "you are going to die, a good person like me can't help but bury you", Zhang Tingyu put the papers at the top of the list and handed them in.

When Jiang Heng heard the content of this censor's book in the Yonghe Palace, he was inexplicably moved: There are always so many kind-hearted people in this world, who sacrifice themselves for others, regardless of personal safety and want to be adults!

It's you who are waiting!

Sure enough, the emperor quickly issued a reply to Zhezi, expressing that I was sad and even resentful because of the successive deaths of the empress dowager, and even neglected it.

'Praise' the inappropriateness of the etiquette system proposed by the censor.Indeed, the queen or imperial concubine must be the one to perform silkworm ceremony.

That being the case, an order was immediately issued that Jin Guifei would perform a silkworm ceremony for Huang Guifei.

With this, the censor dared to speak out directly, which was quite brave.The emperor deeply felt that it was a waste of such talents to be trapped in Yushitai and only entrust their loyalty to the late emperor with paper and pen, so he sent them to the Nanyang Navy to serve as generals, so that they could resist Japanese pirates and be loyal to the country.
