History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]
Chapter 175
After Hong Jing finished speaking, Wu Shaolai was stunned for a while, as if he didn't expect the third prince to be so easy to talk.
To be honest, Wu Shaolai didn't want to get in touch with the third prince more. It was obviously a hopeless thing, and he let the elder sister think about it. If something went wrong, it would only bring trouble to the family in the end.
After Wu Shaolai said these words, he originally thought that the third prince would be angry. After all, what ability does he have to make the third prince wait for him?
He originally thought that the third prince would be angry, but he was ready to admit it. As long as he could stop the eldest sister from meeting the third prince, even if the third prince was angry, he thought that if he would do things for the third prince honestly, after a long time, he would be able to make up for this incident. Anger was counteracted.
But what he didn't expect was that the third prince didn't mind at all, and was willing to see the elder sister and the younger sister.
Wu Shaolai wanted to dispel the idea of the third prince.
Hong Jing waved his hand, and said with a nonchalant expression: "Okay, it's okay to talk about the iron mine next time. Since your two younger sisters are here, I'll take it as a way of showing you." Anyway Nowadays, the generosity of men and women is not as strict as it used to be. If we meet in public, it will not cause any controversy.
No, you must not give me face.
Wu Shaolai wanted to cry but had no tears.
Hong Kyung still had a good sense, and felt that he was really a caring boss. He said to Wu Shaolai, "Okay, don't let your sister freeze outside in the cold weather."
No matter how much Wu Shaolai wanted to say, his mouth was blocked at this moment. His mind was blank, and he walked out reflexively. He didn't react until he went out, with a wry smile on his face.
On the other hand, Hong Kyung showed a meaningful smile. He thought that the daughter of the Wu family was a bit weird before. After a long time, Hong Kyung had gradually forgotten about this matter, and what he didn't expect was that this person suddenly popped out.
"I'd like to see what this man is thinking." Hong Kyung rubbed his chin, showing a playful smile.
On the other side, Wu Shaolai had already gone downstairs. After going downstairs, he happened to see the two younger sisters walking into the teahouse with the guards.
Wu Shaolai rubbed his face, smiled, and greeted loudly, "Sister, I'm here."
Wu Liumei didn't speak, but Wu Liuhui beside her waved happily, "Sixth Brother."
Wu Shaolai came down from the stairs, walked over and asked, "Did anything happen on the way?"
Wu Liumei kept looking towards the stairs, so that only Wu Liuhui answered Wu Shaolai's words.
"It's okay, but the road is a little slippery, and the carriage has already been sent back."
Wu Shaolai nodded, and said, "This time Brother Six came out mainly to meet a friend, and I will introduce you two to each other later, you two should be quiet."
Wu Liu's eyebrows lit up, and she thought to herself, could it be the third prince?
Wu Liuhui wrinkled her nose and said, "Sixth Brother, is my little sister that unreliable person?"
Wu Shaolai touched his nose, "Okay, come up with me." He led the way and led the two upstairs.
When going upstairs, Wu Liuhui looked left and right, then hugged Wu Liumei's arm, and said in surprise, "Sister, isn't this the teahouse we often come to?"
When Wu Shaolai in front heard this, he frowned slightly, and shook off the sudden thought in his heart and continued to go up the stairs.
Hong Kyung has already cleaned the tea bowl, waiting for someone to come up.
The door was not closed, and Wu Shaolai quickly brought someone in.
Hong Kyung raised his head, and Wu Shaolai said to Hong Kyung, "Third Master, these are my two younger sisters." Then he turned to the two younger sisters and said, "This is Third Master, just call me after me."
Seeing the noble young man, Wu Liuhui vaguely sensed that the young man's identity was different, and immediately put away his crazy appearance, and blessed the young man slightly, "I have met the third master."
Also blessed is Wu Liumei, who looks cold as before, but her eyes linger on Hong Kyung.
Wu Shaolai frowned again, seeing that the third master didn't look at the eldest sister, he decided to let it go.
Hong Kyung pointed to the chairs beside the table and said, "Sit down."
Wu Liumei sat softly opposite Hong Kyung, while Wu Liuhui sat next to her brother in a regular manner.
Wu Shaolai felt a bit of a headache. He knew that fighting with the third master would not like it, so he directly declined the matter.
How could he fail to see this time, that the eldest sister had learned of the third master's identity from somewhere, so she pestered him to bring her out together.
It's just that the marriage of the third prince doesn't take into account her own family at all, and the third sister entrusts her thoughts in vain.
Immediately, as if thinking of something, Wu Shaolai's heart trembled, no, he had received a letter from the third master before, and he was sure that he hadn't leaked it out, why did the eldest sister get the news so accurately?
Wu Shaolai's complexion was a little bad, could it be that someone around him was bribed?
Hong Jing looked at the three brothers and sisters in this family and found it interesting. Although Wu Shaolai said he was not smart, he was not so stupid. Just taller than others.
When Hong Kyung chose him, he also chose his identity, intending to use Wu Shaolai's identity to gather some people.
Unexpectedly, his two younger sisters are also very interesting.
The eldest sister's thoughts are all on her face, she wants to seduce him but pretends to be noble, does she really think that this face can attract his attention?
Don't forget that he has been facing the face of his mother since he was a child, and he has already developed resistance to beauty.
Although he also loves beauties, what he likes are smart beauties.He felt that at least like his mother-in-law, she had a beautiful face but was smart and capable to attract his attention.
It's a pity that Wu Shaolai's eldest sister is beautiful, she is too superficial, and compared with her mother, she is too young, which makes her beauty discounted, even the one in the palace is famous for her beauty. The Nian concubines are not as good.
Hong Kyung lowered his eyes, playing with the teacup.
Wu Shaolai opened his mouth to break the silence in the room, and introduced several scenic spots in the capital that can be visited in winter.
Hong Kyung noticed that Wu Shaolai's younger sister, who was slightly less colorful, nodded and agreed from time to time. He didn't put his mind on Wu Shaolai's younger sister at first, but listening to her turn the corner to help Wu Shaolai's words, It seems that at least there is still a cleverness.
Hong Jing felt that it was meaningless, and he couldn't sit still, so he got up and said to Wu Shaolai, "I still have something to do, you can continue to sit here for a while."
Wu Shaolai got up quickly, a little anxious for him to leave. To him, this person was a disaster, so he hurriedly said, "Third Master, if you have something to do, just go and don't worry about us." Quickly reply to tell mother, let mother dispel the mind of the eldest sister.
Hong Kyung was not polite after hearing this, and immediately turned around and walked out.
Wu Liumei was a little taken aback, wait, why did she leave suddenly?Could it be that she was too reserved to attract this master's attention.
Wu Liumei hurriedly stood up, Wu Shaolai was startled, and asked, "Sister, what are you going to do?"
Wu Liumei was brought back to her senses by the shout, and she answered Wu Shaolai's words calmly, "It's nothing, it's just that I've been sitting for a long time, and my legs are a little sore." After saying this, she sat back to her original position, but His expression seemed careless, as if all his thoughts had left with the departure of the third prince.
Wu Liuhui, who was holding a tea bowl at the side, rolled his eyes in surprise, with a sudden look in his eyes.
Wu Shaolai breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt that when he went back, he told his mother about it and asked her to watch it.
Minning washed the ink stains on his hands, picked up a towel beside him and dried his hands.
This towel has been researched in recent years. Compared with the usual handkerchief, the towel was welcomed as soon as it was born.
After all, no matter how good the material of the handkerchief is, it is not as soft as a towel when washed on the face.
After drying her hands, she unfolded the list she had just written.
On the list was her birthday list. It was the first time that fourth master held a big birthday festival, and he thought that these gifts were indispensable.
The harem got the news early and took action early.
Minning squinted her eyes, but she had heard that both Concubine Nian and Concubine Xiande sent letters back to her natal family, asking her family to work hard on this matter.
Because of her presence, the butterfly made concubine Nian's pregnancy, which led to the concubine Nian who lived and died as many times in history, and now has not given birth yet.
As for Concubine Xiande, Min Ning was sure that she had no luck, but she didn't know how Fourth Master made it so that Concubine Xiande thought that she had been favored, but it was just bad luck that she didn't get pregnant.
This time, fourth master held a big birthday banquet, and the two concubines who felt that they still had a chance to have a son naturally took action.
As for the old man who was in the palace before, he probably gave up and didn't expect fourth master's favor. This time, he was quiet and only prepared socks and shoes for fourth master as a birthday present.
As for the queen...
The corners of Minning's mouth twitched. The Empress probably learned from Fourth Master, and now she is transcribing Buddhist scriptures by herself behind closed doors. It is obvious that this Buddhist scripture should be a birthday gift for Fourth Master.
Minning gloated in his heart, it should be!Fourth master was perfunctory to her before, but this time someone finally paid her back with the same trick.
Hong Kyung walked in, holding a box in his hand, and after saluting Minning, he said, "Er Niang, this is the birthday gift I prepared for Khan Ama, do you think it is appropriate?"
Minning put down the birthday bill and motioned for Hongkyung to put the box on the table.
Minning opened the box and looked at a small and exquisite snuff bottle inside, frowned and asked him, "Why did you give such a thing?"
Hong Jing asked with innocent eyes, "My son heard that Khan Ama likes to play with snuff bottles recently, so he specially found one here. Why, is there something wrong with this gift?"
No, of course it is a big mistake!
Fourth master fell in love with the snuff bottle in recent years, but Ning was not allergic but hated the smell of the smoke.
In her era, she hated the smell of smoke. She thought that she would not have to bear it after she came to this era. Unexpectedly, tobacco was brought to the Qing Dynasty by foreigners from the New World, and it became popular. Now even the fourth master is infected. on.
Minning covered his nose in disgust and said, "Hurry up and take it away, this kind of thing is not allowed to be given to you Khan Ama!"
Because she was angry, she had already put away all the snuff bottles of fourth master, and told him to smell as little smoke as possible.
Unexpectedly, Hong Kyung found another one from the gossip he didn't know where to find out.
Although this snuff bottle is small and exquisite, it is a rare work of art carved out of a complete piece of suet jade.
But Minning couldn't appreciate it, and even loathed it.
Hong Kyung put away the happy expression on his face, and said with a depressed face, "My son spent a lot of effort to exchange this snuff bottle with others. He originally wanted to present it to Huang Ama as a birthday gift. If this can't be used as a birthday gift, my son won't." Know where to find new birthday gifts.”
Minning waved his sleeves, "Anyway, I say no, absolutely no one is allowed to give you a snuff bottle."
Hearing this decisive answer, Hong Kyung retreated helplessly.
After exiting, he turned to Siyi Bookstore.
Inside Siyi Bookstore, Fourth Master was approving the papers while staring at the door absently.
Hong Jing walked in, Fourth Master looked expectantly in his eyes, "How is it? What did your mother say?"
Hong Jing shook his head, "Er Niang lost her temper just now, don't allow me to give you a snuff bottle."
Fourth Master's face was full of disappointment. He had already guessed the answer.
Hong Jing couldn't help asking, "Ama Khan, my son has already said that this method is useless. If you don't believe me, you must let me go." This made Erniang also start to dislike her.
The fourth master glared at Hongjing, then said again: "Isn't there anything I can do? This group of waste can't even bring in tobacco. Your mother is watching closely. I want to sniff snuff so much that I can't even review memorials." I feel out of spirit."
Hong Jing couldn't help persuading him: "Ama Khan, since Erniang doesn't allow you to sniff, it means that snuff is not good for your health, so you should keep your exposure to it less."
Fourth master felt that this son ran out for a trip, and he was not on the same mind with him at first.
Thought he wanted to take snuff?It's not that I feel drowsy after reviewing memorials, and sniffing snuff can refresh me.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. An Jia made a fuss. After discovering the rhinitis on his body, she became angry and searched the whole garden to remove all the snuff bottles and tobacco.
They also sent people to guard the gate of the garden, and anyone who found illegal tobacco would be beaten out of the garden with a stick.
As a result, there was no one that Fourth Master wanted to bribe, so he could only borrow Zhang Tingyu's snuff bottle to take a sniff.
Fourth master felt that he was really pitiful. It was no one to be an emperor to his level.
"You don't understand." Fourth master dropped three words, and then someone threw him out of the door.
After being kicked out of the house, Hong Kyung felt that he was really a quarrelsome person, and if he got involved with Han Ama and Er Niang again, he would be a puppy.
Prince Zhi returned to the capital in a hurry, and immediately entered the Yuanmingyuan to report to Fourth Master.
Seeing Prince Zhi kneeling on the ground, Fourth Master got down from the dragon chair with an expression of emotion, and helped him up himself.
"Come and show elder brother a seat!" Fourth master shouted.
Su Peisheng immediately took a chair from the eunuch and placed it behind Prince Zhi.
Prince Zhi sat down carefully, after all, it was his brother sitting on it, not his father.
Prince Zhi knew better than anyone else that the fourth child was narrow-minded, whoever was right now was good to whom, but it depended on who was not pleasing to the eye, the narrow-mindedness was smaller than the eye of a needle.Otherwise, the little fourteen would still be the brother of the fourth, because he had joined the eighth to fight against the fourth, and the fourth had been slipping away from the fourteen all these years without giving him any real power.
This is the news that Prince Zhi came back to the Qing Dynasty after inquiring about it.
Now when facing the fourth child, he naturally bows his head and obeys his ears.
Fourth master was very helpful. He felt that among the brothers, the eldest was the one who could really see the facts clearly.
Right now he is the head of the family, and his brothers are no longer the princes, but the clan. If they behave a little better, they can do it, and they will show some face for the sake of the Supreme Emperor.
But if Xue Lao Ba is against him, now that the Supreme Emperor is still there, he can't touch them, but he is old, and he will leave one day, so don't blame him for letting all the crimes be settled together.
Seeing that the boss is interesting, fourth master naturally gave him this face.
After the two sat down, fourth master began to ask questions.
"How is the situation in the New World?" Previously, because of the continuous exploration of the Qing Dynasty, a piece of land was occupied after a long time.
I fought several battles with local aboriginals and foreigners for this piece of land, and there are still frictions until now.At that time, there were too few people in the Qing Dynasty, so they were invincible. Later, all the merchant ships in the East China Sea united to plead with the imperial court, and the fourth master reluctantly sent a team of navy to go there.
This team of navy is the navy trained by the boss, and the purpose of pulling it over is to let the navy see blood.
This incident was originally a double play between the private fleet and the imperial court, which allowed the Qing Navy to go to sea in a legitimate manner.
After the Navy arrived in the New World, it quickly surrounded a piece of land near the sea in South America, fought against the natives and foreigners, and made great achievements in the New World before gaining a firm foothold in the New World.
Later, the navy over there still learned from the foreigners. When they went ashore, they were the navy, and when they went to the sea, they were pirates. They hijacked several ships of gold from the foreigners.
Right now, the navy in the East China Sea seems to have nothing to do with the New World, but in fact, recruits secretly cross the sea to South America every year, so that even in the calm East China Sea, the navy that appears has experienced battlefields.
Later, all the pirates in the East China Sea were wiped out, and even the Japanese pirates were wiped out.
However, the fourth master heard some news from Prince Li before that Obaro and those foreign countries are planning to unite to drive the Qing navy out of the New World.
After hearing the news, Fourth Master naturally paid attention to the situation in the New World.
He even secretly regretted that he shouldn't have been so eager to send Shiliu to replace the eldest brother.
I don't know if the temporary change of generals will put the situation in the New World at a disadvantage.
Although fourth master had this idea in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.
Prince Zhi thought for a while and replied, "The situation over there is that foreigners occupy the land in the north, and our Qing Dynasty divides the land in the south with the aborigines." At this point, Prince Zhi sighed, "We found out too late, it's too late for foreigners. In the past 200 years, it is still not as stable as that of foreigners."
The fourth master nodded, and then said, "It's better late than never. Although our Qing Dynasty is late to participate in this feast, don't forget that my Qing Dynasty belongs to the most powerful country in the world, even if it is late So what, the big deal is to make foreigners spit out the fat in their mouths!"
Prince Zhi shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. The foreigners in the New World are very different from those in the Qing Dynasty. The foreigners there are more like wild animals, and they don't pay attention to morality at all."
Fourth Master was thoughtful, and he remembered what Minning had said to him before. When occupying a piece of land, you can't pay attention to friendship, and you have to learn from foreigners.
Prince Zhi also talked about the major powers in the Americas, Fourth Master listened carefully, and based on what Prince Li said earlier, the power of Obalo was compared.
In the end, it was determined that it was indeed Obalon and those powerful countries that divided up the New World.
Fortunately, the Qing Dynasty could not snatch North America, but was able to bite off a piece of meat from South America.
With this site, you can slowly expand.
The most important thing right now is the population. If there is enough population, there will not be several countries in North America constantly competing for it. Why?Is it because of the small population?
For the time being, fourth master put this matter in general. With the power of firearms, even without Prince Zhi in charge, it is impossible for foreigners to drive the Qing navy out of the New World in a short time.
In the current period of time, the most important thing is to train military officers who can fight. Whether it is cultivating talents or planning for future operations, the remaining matters need to be resolved urgently.
At noon, Fourth Master stayed with Prince Zhi to have dinner together.
After eating, I originally planned to stay with Prince Zhi for a lunch break, but I didn't expect someone from the Supreme Emperor to let Prince Zhi go.
Fourth master had no way to keep him, so he sent someone to send Prince Zhi to him.
After playing a scene of brothers and sisters respecting each other, fourth master was satisfied and went back to the back garden to see Minning.
Minning continued to transcribe the list of birthday gifts, and the fourth master asked when he entered the door, "Which one do you fancy for Hong Jing's marriage?
Fourth master wanted to settle this matter years ago. What he didn't expect was that he handed her the list and met with her, but there was no further text.
Min Ning put down his pen, raised his head and said to Fourth Master, "I have already given the miniatures to Hong Jing, and he hasn't given me an answer yet."
The fourth master pondered for a moment, and then said, "It just so happens that on this Wanshou Festival, I plan to let Zhao Jia bring her niece over to meet Hong Yun. How about you also call the girls from those families over, Then, when Hongjing sees it, what can he see when he looks at the small portrait?"
Minning was moved after hearing this, and asked a long-standing doubt, "Master, why didn't you choose a Han Chen's daughter for Hong Kyung to be a Fujin?"
Fourth Master's sharp eyes immediately swept over, but Minning did not back down.
He frowned and asked her, "Are you going to choose a woman from the Han family for Hong Kyung?"
Minning readily admitted his plan, "The Qing law did not say that Manchus and Hans cannot intermarry, but now Manchus and Hans are not allowed to intermarry, which has become the ancestral system, which really violates our Qing Dynasty policy of Manchus and Hans as one. Since they are already one body, why should there be such an invisible ancestral system? Isn’t this a slap in the face?”
The fourth master sighed slowly, and explained to her seriously, "Back then, Dorgon implemented the law of intermarriage between Man and Han, but after Dorgon's death, he was liquidated, and most of the policies he implemented became his. The crime of Man-Han intermarriage is even more trivial. When Khan Ama first came to the throne, all formalities were officially controlled by the four ministers, and all policies tended to be conservative. There was even a trend of restoring the ancestral system. It was at that time that Hans were not allowed to intermarry."
In fact, the fourth master also felt that this rule had become a constraint on him. No matter the Supreme Emperor or him, they all implemented the policy of the Manchu family in the court.
After Minning reminded him, he noticed that the ancestral system that Man-Han should not intermarry, which he didn’t care about at first, actually restricted the policy of the Man-Han family, making it a joke for the Man-Han family to say it.
Min Ning frowned and said, "If Man and Han were not allowed to intermarry, then Empress Xiaokangzhang..." You must know that Empress Xiaokangzhang's father, Tong Yangxing, was a Han Chinese.
According to the bloodline on the father's side, Empress Xiaokangzhang is also Han Chinese, so after this calculation, the Supreme Emperor also has half of the Han blood.
Fourth Master naturally understood what she meant, "This is different. Although Tong's family is Han, they belong to the banner of the Han army and belong to the people of the Eight Banners. Naturally, intermarriage is allowed."
Minning thought it was absurd. Where did he pull the skin of the Han army flag, so he was not a Han Chinese?
After thinking about it, Minning seriously said to the fourth master, "Master, I think it's time for a Manchu-Han marriage. Only by integrating Han blood into my Aixinjueluo family can we make the people recognize us and won't always regard us as Aliens."
Fourth master rubbed his index finger and thumb together, turned his back and thought about it.
Minning grabbed his shoulders and said, "After all, our Manchus are small in number. If we want to lead a huge nation like the Han people, we should take the initiative to integrate into it. Is it a dangerous thing to be independent? One day, it will leave a crisis for future generations.”
Fourth Master turned around and grabbed her hand, stared into her eyes and asked, "What crisis?"
Minning withdrew his hand, turned around and sat down on a chair, poured a cup of tea and said, "If one day the Qing Dynasty falls, do you think that after the change of dynasty, will the alien royal family be in danger, or will the royal family with Han blood be in danger?"
Everything is dangerous, relying on the Supreme Emperor's extermination of Zhu's descendants, Fourth Master has to admit that those in power are indeed wary of foreign races.
The fourth master was unwilling to admit it, he said furiously: "Shut up, how could my Qing Dynasty perish?"
Minning sat on the chair and watched him get angry.
After the fourth master let go of his anger, he had to admit in embarrassment that the Qing Dynasty would indeed perish one day.
This is even more difficult for him to accept than before he was asked to prepare for his descendants in the northeast.
In fact, there will never be a dynasty that lasts forever in this world, just like the Qin Dynasty that ruled the world, Qin Shihuang wanted the Qin Dynasty to last forever, so he called himself Qin Shihuang, but he might not have thought of it until his death...
Qin, the second generation will perish!
The fourth master can't guarantee whether all the grandchildren of the future generations will be successful, there will always be times when unworthy descendants lose their country.
But let him admit it now, fourth master couldn't bear it.
Minning personally poured him a cup of tea, "Master, so let's make a plan now."
Fourth Master held the teacup, looked at her out of breath, and then drank the tea in one breath, "Who said we have to make plans now?"
Minning gave a "tsk", seeing that he was still unwilling to give up, he snapped his fingers and said, "My lord, it's different now, the news is blocked, and the royal family is separated from the common people. Royal marriages are naturally separated from the common people." Nothing to do." At this point, she paused and looked up at him, "But don't forget! Now that there is an extra newspaper, you can know the world's affairs without going out. In the future, you think that the common people will understand the affairs of the royal family. not interested?"
The fourth master held the empty teacup tightly and stared straight at her, "So what? Who dares to report on the royal affairs?"
Minning asked him puzzledly, "Could it be that you plan to separate the royal family from the common people?" Then reminded him, "Master, we'd better create an image of being close to the people, so that the common people can believe that the common people will also be able to issue some policies in the future." It’s easier to accept. Do you think it’s better to issue an order suddenly from above, and it will take a few years to implement it, or let the people support the royal family independently and accept these policies on their own initiative?”
Fourth Master was still a little moved after hearing his words. He had to say that if the people supported him and took the initiative to accept his orders, just thinking about it would make him secretly happy.
He had appeared in front of the people according to what she said before, and the policy on the capital side was indeed easy to implement.
Thinking about it now is just doing it more thoroughly.
Fourth master had already been dizzy by Minning, and felt that creating an image of the royal family as close to the people was indeed a good thing that could be achieved in one fell swoop.
Wait, what does this have to do with Hongkyung's marriage?
Fourth Master came back to his senses and looked at her warily.
Minning turned the topic back unceremoniously, "This time for the Longevity Day, I am not only planning to invite the girls from the families you chose, but also some daughters from the Hanchen family. Of course, I am not forcing Hongkyung Marry a Han girl. Invite people over first, then let Hong Kyung choose by himself, and he will choose whoever he chooses."
Fourth Master said immediately, "Yes!"
December [-]th is the Longevity Festival. It is definitely not a happy thing to celebrate the Longevity Festival in this kind of ice and snow.
Unlike the time of the Supreme Emperor, the Wanshou Festival can only be enjoyed if the weather is not too cold or hot in May.
Now that it's the twelfth lunar month, no one has the courage to run out to play.This is probably one of the reasons why the Longevity Festival has not been lively in the past few years.
Even fourth master himself dislikes working so hard in winter.
On this day, Hong Kyung was notified by Er Niang, and carrying the small portrait that Er Niang gave him last time, he braved the severe cold and came to the garden.
Nowadays, if it is not a major festival, it must be held in the palace. The emperor seldom goes back to the palace, and completely regards the Old Summer Palace as the political center.
Even the ministers of the DPRK and China bought houses near the Old Summer Palace and moved here.
But the six parts are still in the capital.
Hongkyung has heard Khan Ama tell him not to go out of Beijing next year, but to enter the sixth department as an intern.
This shows that he has officially entered the court.
To be honest, the age to quickly enter the court is much later than that of uncles.
As for Khan Ama, he was brought by Huang Mafa to listen to the government when he was fifteen or sixteen years old.
Nowhere is it like him, he is almost twenty and still running around, and he even has to organize a team by himself.
Hong Jing wanted to sneer, his mother-in-law and Khan Ama must have tried to cheat him, so they did not let him enter the court for so long.
But I have to say that running around in these years has indeed gained a lot of experience.Regardless of whether he enters the household department or the official department in the coming year, he is not afraid. To enter the household department, he has experience in working in a bank.Entering the official department, he has experience in running a steel plant.
And these two are the most important of the six, and Hong Kyung feels that even if he doesn't enter for the time being, he will enter one day sooner or later.
After entering Xinghua Village, Hong Kyung handed over the small portrait in his arms.
Minning spoke to him, "I will call all these girls to the garden on the Wanshou Day in the future, and then you will be together and choose the one you like."
When Hong Kyung heard the news suddenly, he was shocked and did not recover.
Minning threatened him, "This time, you, Ama, have made up your mind. If you don't choose one, he will marry you later!"
Hong Jing had a dark face, "If you mean marriage, you mean marriage." He is not Hongshi, and he dare not even go back to the garden to avoid getting married.
Minning poked his forehead, a little resentful, "Can you compare with your Ama? It's only because you were born in this era, and you can't have wives and concubines like your Ama. If you don't pick one If you want to, you can only spend your whole life with someone who is not satisfied in the future." At the end of her speech, she had a threatening tone.
Before Hong Jing could speak, Min Ning continued, "Don't think about taking concubines. This policy is related to the Qing Dynasty's population increase. You will never be allowed to break it first!"
Hong Kyung pursed his lips, "My son understands."
Minning patted the stack of small portraits beside her hand, "Don't worry, Erniang didn't treat you badly this time, not only these, but also some Hanchen women, you can choose any style you want. If you choose, don't worry about it." You, Ama, I'm going to ask the Supreme Emperor to marry you!"
Hong Kyung thought for a while and asked, "Is it okay to pick Chinese women?"
Min Ning stared at Hong Kyung playfully, thinking to himself, it really is his own son, and he really has a tacit understanding with her.
Hong Kyung was bewildered by her, and asked tentatively, "Emiang, could it be possible?"
Minning smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Go pick it as soon as possible, Er Niang assures you, no matter who you pick, it will be your Fujin."
Hong Kyung suddenly had an idea in his mind, it seemed that the imperial court had some policy that he didn't know about.
This time it is probably about the same marriage between Man and Han.
Hong Jing has been instilled with advanced ideas since he was a child, and he doesn't pay much attention to the difference between Manchu and Han. He also knows that the Eight Banners system is an inferior system. Sooner or later, it will fail to catch up with the development of the times and drag down the entire Qing Dynasty.
Nowadays, the main barrier to intermarriage between Manchu and Han is not the royal family, but the Eight Banners system.
If they really got married, it would be difficult to guarantee the privileges of the Eight Banners by virtue of their huge Han Chinese base, and this was the main reason for their resistance.
No one can guarantee whether the privileges of the Eight Banners will still exist after intermarriage with Han people.
Khan Ama has started to reform the military system, which has achieved some results.
Whether it is the reform of the military system or the intermarriage between Manchu and Han, it is just a foreshadowing for the abolition of the privileges of the Eight Banners in the future.
Hongkyung still has this bit of political insight.
To be honest, Wu Shaolai didn't want to get in touch with the third prince more. It was obviously a hopeless thing, and he let the elder sister think about it. If something went wrong, it would only bring trouble to the family in the end.
After Wu Shaolai said these words, he originally thought that the third prince would be angry. After all, what ability does he have to make the third prince wait for him?
He originally thought that the third prince would be angry, but he was ready to admit it. As long as he could stop the eldest sister from meeting the third prince, even if the third prince was angry, he thought that if he would do things for the third prince honestly, after a long time, he would be able to make up for this incident. Anger was counteracted.
But what he didn't expect was that the third prince didn't mind at all, and was willing to see the elder sister and the younger sister.
Wu Shaolai wanted to dispel the idea of the third prince.
Hong Jing waved his hand, and said with a nonchalant expression: "Okay, it's okay to talk about the iron mine next time. Since your two younger sisters are here, I'll take it as a way of showing you." Anyway Nowadays, the generosity of men and women is not as strict as it used to be. If we meet in public, it will not cause any controversy.
No, you must not give me face.
Wu Shaolai wanted to cry but had no tears.
Hong Kyung still had a good sense, and felt that he was really a caring boss. He said to Wu Shaolai, "Okay, don't let your sister freeze outside in the cold weather."
No matter how much Wu Shaolai wanted to say, his mouth was blocked at this moment. His mind was blank, and he walked out reflexively. He didn't react until he went out, with a wry smile on his face.
On the other hand, Hong Kyung showed a meaningful smile. He thought that the daughter of the Wu family was a bit weird before. After a long time, Hong Kyung had gradually forgotten about this matter, and what he didn't expect was that this person suddenly popped out.
"I'd like to see what this man is thinking." Hong Kyung rubbed his chin, showing a playful smile.
On the other side, Wu Shaolai had already gone downstairs. After going downstairs, he happened to see the two younger sisters walking into the teahouse with the guards.
Wu Shaolai rubbed his face, smiled, and greeted loudly, "Sister, I'm here."
Wu Liumei didn't speak, but Wu Liuhui beside her waved happily, "Sixth Brother."
Wu Shaolai came down from the stairs, walked over and asked, "Did anything happen on the way?"
Wu Liumei kept looking towards the stairs, so that only Wu Liuhui answered Wu Shaolai's words.
"It's okay, but the road is a little slippery, and the carriage has already been sent back."
Wu Shaolai nodded, and said, "This time Brother Six came out mainly to meet a friend, and I will introduce you two to each other later, you two should be quiet."
Wu Liu's eyebrows lit up, and she thought to herself, could it be the third prince?
Wu Liuhui wrinkled her nose and said, "Sixth Brother, is my little sister that unreliable person?"
Wu Shaolai touched his nose, "Okay, come up with me." He led the way and led the two upstairs.
When going upstairs, Wu Liuhui looked left and right, then hugged Wu Liumei's arm, and said in surprise, "Sister, isn't this the teahouse we often come to?"
When Wu Shaolai in front heard this, he frowned slightly, and shook off the sudden thought in his heart and continued to go up the stairs.
Hong Kyung has already cleaned the tea bowl, waiting for someone to come up.
The door was not closed, and Wu Shaolai quickly brought someone in.
Hong Kyung raised his head, and Wu Shaolai said to Hong Kyung, "Third Master, these are my two younger sisters." Then he turned to the two younger sisters and said, "This is Third Master, just call me after me."
Seeing the noble young man, Wu Liuhui vaguely sensed that the young man's identity was different, and immediately put away his crazy appearance, and blessed the young man slightly, "I have met the third master."
Also blessed is Wu Liumei, who looks cold as before, but her eyes linger on Hong Kyung.
Wu Shaolai frowned again, seeing that the third master didn't look at the eldest sister, he decided to let it go.
Hong Kyung pointed to the chairs beside the table and said, "Sit down."
Wu Liumei sat softly opposite Hong Kyung, while Wu Liuhui sat next to her brother in a regular manner.
Wu Shaolai felt a bit of a headache. He knew that fighting with the third master would not like it, so he directly declined the matter.
How could he fail to see this time, that the eldest sister had learned of the third master's identity from somewhere, so she pestered him to bring her out together.
It's just that the marriage of the third prince doesn't take into account her own family at all, and the third sister entrusts her thoughts in vain.
Immediately, as if thinking of something, Wu Shaolai's heart trembled, no, he had received a letter from the third master before, and he was sure that he hadn't leaked it out, why did the eldest sister get the news so accurately?
Wu Shaolai's complexion was a little bad, could it be that someone around him was bribed?
Hong Jing looked at the three brothers and sisters in this family and found it interesting. Although Wu Shaolai said he was not smart, he was not so stupid. Just taller than others.
When Hong Kyung chose him, he also chose his identity, intending to use Wu Shaolai's identity to gather some people.
Unexpectedly, his two younger sisters are also very interesting.
The eldest sister's thoughts are all on her face, she wants to seduce him but pretends to be noble, does she really think that this face can attract his attention?
Don't forget that he has been facing the face of his mother since he was a child, and he has already developed resistance to beauty.
Although he also loves beauties, what he likes are smart beauties.He felt that at least like his mother-in-law, she had a beautiful face but was smart and capable to attract his attention.
It's a pity that Wu Shaolai's eldest sister is beautiful, she is too superficial, and compared with her mother, she is too young, which makes her beauty discounted, even the one in the palace is famous for her beauty. The Nian concubines are not as good.
Hong Kyung lowered his eyes, playing with the teacup.
Wu Shaolai opened his mouth to break the silence in the room, and introduced several scenic spots in the capital that can be visited in winter.
Hong Kyung noticed that Wu Shaolai's younger sister, who was slightly less colorful, nodded and agreed from time to time. He didn't put his mind on Wu Shaolai's younger sister at first, but listening to her turn the corner to help Wu Shaolai's words, It seems that at least there is still a cleverness.
Hong Jing felt that it was meaningless, and he couldn't sit still, so he got up and said to Wu Shaolai, "I still have something to do, you can continue to sit here for a while."
Wu Shaolai got up quickly, a little anxious for him to leave. To him, this person was a disaster, so he hurriedly said, "Third Master, if you have something to do, just go and don't worry about us." Quickly reply to tell mother, let mother dispel the mind of the eldest sister.
Hong Kyung was not polite after hearing this, and immediately turned around and walked out.
Wu Liumei was a little taken aback, wait, why did she leave suddenly?Could it be that she was too reserved to attract this master's attention.
Wu Liumei hurriedly stood up, Wu Shaolai was startled, and asked, "Sister, what are you going to do?"
Wu Liumei was brought back to her senses by the shout, and she answered Wu Shaolai's words calmly, "It's nothing, it's just that I've been sitting for a long time, and my legs are a little sore." After saying this, she sat back to her original position, but His expression seemed careless, as if all his thoughts had left with the departure of the third prince.
Wu Liuhui, who was holding a tea bowl at the side, rolled his eyes in surprise, with a sudden look in his eyes.
Wu Shaolai breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt that when he went back, he told his mother about it and asked her to watch it.
Minning washed the ink stains on his hands, picked up a towel beside him and dried his hands.
This towel has been researched in recent years. Compared with the usual handkerchief, the towel was welcomed as soon as it was born.
After all, no matter how good the material of the handkerchief is, it is not as soft as a towel when washed on the face.
After drying her hands, she unfolded the list she had just written.
On the list was her birthday list. It was the first time that fourth master held a big birthday festival, and he thought that these gifts were indispensable.
The harem got the news early and took action early.
Minning squinted her eyes, but she had heard that both Concubine Nian and Concubine Xiande sent letters back to her natal family, asking her family to work hard on this matter.
Because of her presence, the butterfly made concubine Nian's pregnancy, which led to the concubine Nian who lived and died as many times in history, and now has not given birth yet.
As for Concubine Xiande, Min Ning was sure that she had no luck, but she didn't know how Fourth Master made it so that Concubine Xiande thought that she had been favored, but it was just bad luck that she didn't get pregnant.
This time, fourth master held a big birthday banquet, and the two concubines who felt that they still had a chance to have a son naturally took action.
As for the old man who was in the palace before, he probably gave up and didn't expect fourth master's favor. This time, he was quiet and only prepared socks and shoes for fourth master as a birthday present.
As for the queen...
The corners of Minning's mouth twitched. The Empress probably learned from Fourth Master, and now she is transcribing Buddhist scriptures by herself behind closed doors. It is obvious that this Buddhist scripture should be a birthday gift for Fourth Master.
Minning gloated in his heart, it should be!Fourth master was perfunctory to her before, but this time someone finally paid her back with the same trick.
Hong Kyung walked in, holding a box in his hand, and after saluting Minning, he said, "Er Niang, this is the birthday gift I prepared for Khan Ama, do you think it is appropriate?"
Minning put down the birthday bill and motioned for Hongkyung to put the box on the table.
Minning opened the box and looked at a small and exquisite snuff bottle inside, frowned and asked him, "Why did you give such a thing?"
Hong Jing asked with innocent eyes, "My son heard that Khan Ama likes to play with snuff bottles recently, so he specially found one here. Why, is there something wrong with this gift?"
No, of course it is a big mistake!
Fourth master fell in love with the snuff bottle in recent years, but Ning was not allergic but hated the smell of the smoke.
In her era, she hated the smell of smoke. She thought that she would not have to bear it after she came to this era. Unexpectedly, tobacco was brought to the Qing Dynasty by foreigners from the New World, and it became popular. Now even the fourth master is infected. on.
Minning covered his nose in disgust and said, "Hurry up and take it away, this kind of thing is not allowed to be given to you Khan Ama!"
Because she was angry, she had already put away all the snuff bottles of fourth master, and told him to smell as little smoke as possible.
Unexpectedly, Hong Kyung found another one from the gossip he didn't know where to find out.
Although this snuff bottle is small and exquisite, it is a rare work of art carved out of a complete piece of suet jade.
But Minning couldn't appreciate it, and even loathed it.
Hong Kyung put away the happy expression on his face, and said with a depressed face, "My son spent a lot of effort to exchange this snuff bottle with others. He originally wanted to present it to Huang Ama as a birthday gift. If this can't be used as a birthday gift, my son won't." Know where to find new birthday gifts.”
Minning waved his sleeves, "Anyway, I say no, absolutely no one is allowed to give you a snuff bottle."
Hearing this decisive answer, Hong Kyung retreated helplessly.
After exiting, he turned to Siyi Bookstore.
Inside Siyi Bookstore, Fourth Master was approving the papers while staring at the door absently.
Hong Jing walked in, Fourth Master looked expectantly in his eyes, "How is it? What did your mother say?"
Hong Jing shook his head, "Er Niang lost her temper just now, don't allow me to give you a snuff bottle."
Fourth Master's face was full of disappointment. He had already guessed the answer.
Hong Jing couldn't help asking, "Ama Khan, my son has already said that this method is useless. If you don't believe me, you must let me go." This made Erniang also start to dislike her.
The fourth master glared at Hongjing, then said again: "Isn't there anything I can do? This group of waste can't even bring in tobacco. Your mother is watching closely. I want to sniff snuff so much that I can't even review memorials." I feel out of spirit."
Hong Jing couldn't help persuading him: "Ama Khan, since Erniang doesn't allow you to sniff, it means that snuff is not good for your health, so you should keep your exposure to it less."
Fourth master felt that this son ran out for a trip, and he was not on the same mind with him at first.
Thought he wanted to take snuff?It's not that I feel drowsy after reviewing memorials, and sniffing snuff can refresh me.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. An Jia made a fuss. After discovering the rhinitis on his body, she became angry and searched the whole garden to remove all the snuff bottles and tobacco.
They also sent people to guard the gate of the garden, and anyone who found illegal tobacco would be beaten out of the garden with a stick.
As a result, there was no one that Fourth Master wanted to bribe, so he could only borrow Zhang Tingyu's snuff bottle to take a sniff.
Fourth master felt that he was really pitiful. It was no one to be an emperor to his level.
"You don't understand." Fourth master dropped three words, and then someone threw him out of the door.
After being kicked out of the house, Hong Kyung felt that he was really a quarrelsome person, and if he got involved with Han Ama and Er Niang again, he would be a puppy.
Prince Zhi returned to the capital in a hurry, and immediately entered the Yuanmingyuan to report to Fourth Master.
Seeing Prince Zhi kneeling on the ground, Fourth Master got down from the dragon chair with an expression of emotion, and helped him up himself.
"Come and show elder brother a seat!" Fourth master shouted.
Su Peisheng immediately took a chair from the eunuch and placed it behind Prince Zhi.
Prince Zhi sat down carefully, after all, it was his brother sitting on it, not his father.
Prince Zhi knew better than anyone else that the fourth child was narrow-minded, whoever was right now was good to whom, but it depended on who was not pleasing to the eye, the narrow-mindedness was smaller than the eye of a needle.Otherwise, the little fourteen would still be the brother of the fourth, because he had joined the eighth to fight against the fourth, and the fourth had been slipping away from the fourteen all these years without giving him any real power.
This is the news that Prince Zhi came back to the Qing Dynasty after inquiring about it.
Now when facing the fourth child, he naturally bows his head and obeys his ears.
Fourth master was very helpful. He felt that among the brothers, the eldest was the one who could really see the facts clearly.
Right now he is the head of the family, and his brothers are no longer the princes, but the clan. If they behave a little better, they can do it, and they will show some face for the sake of the Supreme Emperor.
But if Xue Lao Ba is against him, now that the Supreme Emperor is still there, he can't touch them, but he is old, and he will leave one day, so don't blame him for letting all the crimes be settled together.
Seeing that the boss is interesting, fourth master naturally gave him this face.
After the two sat down, fourth master began to ask questions.
"How is the situation in the New World?" Previously, because of the continuous exploration of the Qing Dynasty, a piece of land was occupied after a long time.
I fought several battles with local aboriginals and foreigners for this piece of land, and there are still frictions until now.At that time, there were too few people in the Qing Dynasty, so they were invincible. Later, all the merchant ships in the East China Sea united to plead with the imperial court, and the fourth master reluctantly sent a team of navy to go there.
This team of navy is the navy trained by the boss, and the purpose of pulling it over is to let the navy see blood.
This incident was originally a double play between the private fleet and the imperial court, which allowed the Qing Navy to go to sea in a legitimate manner.
After the Navy arrived in the New World, it quickly surrounded a piece of land near the sea in South America, fought against the natives and foreigners, and made great achievements in the New World before gaining a firm foothold in the New World.
Later, the navy over there still learned from the foreigners. When they went ashore, they were the navy, and when they went to the sea, they were pirates. They hijacked several ships of gold from the foreigners.
Right now, the navy in the East China Sea seems to have nothing to do with the New World, but in fact, recruits secretly cross the sea to South America every year, so that even in the calm East China Sea, the navy that appears has experienced battlefields.
Later, all the pirates in the East China Sea were wiped out, and even the Japanese pirates were wiped out.
However, the fourth master heard some news from Prince Li before that Obaro and those foreign countries are planning to unite to drive the Qing navy out of the New World.
After hearing the news, Fourth Master naturally paid attention to the situation in the New World.
He even secretly regretted that he shouldn't have been so eager to send Shiliu to replace the eldest brother.
I don't know if the temporary change of generals will put the situation in the New World at a disadvantage.
Although fourth master had this idea in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.
Prince Zhi thought for a while and replied, "The situation over there is that foreigners occupy the land in the north, and our Qing Dynasty divides the land in the south with the aborigines." At this point, Prince Zhi sighed, "We found out too late, it's too late for foreigners. In the past 200 years, it is still not as stable as that of foreigners."
The fourth master nodded, and then said, "It's better late than never. Although our Qing Dynasty is late to participate in this feast, don't forget that my Qing Dynasty belongs to the most powerful country in the world, even if it is late So what, the big deal is to make foreigners spit out the fat in their mouths!"
Prince Zhi shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. The foreigners in the New World are very different from those in the Qing Dynasty. The foreigners there are more like wild animals, and they don't pay attention to morality at all."
Fourth Master was thoughtful, and he remembered what Minning had said to him before. When occupying a piece of land, you can't pay attention to friendship, and you have to learn from foreigners.
Prince Zhi also talked about the major powers in the Americas, Fourth Master listened carefully, and based on what Prince Li said earlier, the power of Obalo was compared.
In the end, it was determined that it was indeed Obalon and those powerful countries that divided up the New World.
Fortunately, the Qing Dynasty could not snatch North America, but was able to bite off a piece of meat from South America.
With this site, you can slowly expand.
The most important thing right now is the population. If there is enough population, there will not be several countries in North America constantly competing for it. Why?Is it because of the small population?
For the time being, fourth master put this matter in general. With the power of firearms, even without Prince Zhi in charge, it is impossible for foreigners to drive the Qing navy out of the New World in a short time.
In the current period of time, the most important thing is to train military officers who can fight. Whether it is cultivating talents or planning for future operations, the remaining matters need to be resolved urgently.
At noon, Fourth Master stayed with Prince Zhi to have dinner together.
After eating, I originally planned to stay with Prince Zhi for a lunch break, but I didn't expect someone from the Supreme Emperor to let Prince Zhi go.
Fourth master had no way to keep him, so he sent someone to send Prince Zhi to him.
After playing a scene of brothers and sisters respecting each other, fourth master was satisfied and went back to the back garden to see Minning.
Minning continued to transcribe the list of birthday gifts, and the fourth master asked when he entered the door, "Which one do you fancy for Hong Jing's marriage?
Fourth master wanted to settle this matter years ago. What he didn't expect was that he handed her the list and met with her, but there was no further text.
Min Ning put down his pen, raised his head and said to Fourth Master, "I have already given the miniatures to Hong Jing, and he hasn't given me an answer yet."
The fourth master pondered for a moment, and then said, "It just so happens that on this Wanshou Festival, I plan to let Zhao Jia bring her niece over to meet Hong Yun. How about you also call the girls from those families over, Then, when Hongjing sees it, what can he see when he looks at the small portrait?"
Minning was moved after hearing this, and asked a long-standing doubt, "Master, why didn't you choose a Han Chen's daughter for Hong Kyung to be a Fujin?"
Fourth Master's sharp eyes immediately swept over, but Minning did not back down.
He frowned and asked her, "Are you going to choose a woman from the Han family for Hong Kyung?"
Minning readily admitted his plan, "The Qing law did not say that Manchus and Hans cannot intermarry, but now Manchus and Hans are not allowed to intermarry, which has become the ancestral system, which really violates our Qing Dynasty policy of Manchus and Hans as one. Since they are already one body, why should there be such an invisible ancestral system? Isn’t this a slap in the face?”
The fourth master sighed slowly, and explained to her seriously, "Back then, Dorgon implemented the law of intermarriage between Man and Han, but after Dorgon's death, he was liquidated, and most of the policies he implemented became his. The crime of Man-Han intermarriage is even more trivial. When Khan Ama first came to the throne, all formalities were officially controlled by the four ministers, and all policies tended to be conservative. There was even a trend of restoring the ancestral system. It was at that time that Hans were not allowed to intermarry."
In fact, the fourth master also felt that this rule had become a constraint on him. No matter the Supreme Emperor or him, they all implemented the policy of the Manchu family in the court.
After Minning reminded him, he noticed that the ancestral system that Man-Han should not intermarry, which he didn’t care about at first, actually restricted the policy of the Man-Han family, making it a joke for the Man-Han family to say it.
Min Ning frowned and said, "If Man and Han were not allowed to intermarry, then Empress Xiaokangzhang..." You must know that Empress Xiaokangzhang's father, Tong Yangxing, was a Han Chinese.
According to the bloodline on the father's side, Empress Xiaokangzhang is also Han Chinese, so after this calculation, the Supreme Emperor also has half of the Han blood.
Fourth Master naturally understood what she meant, "This is different. Although Tong's family is Han, they belong to the banner of the Han army and belong to the people of the Eight Banners. Naturally, intermarriage is allowed."
Minning thought it was absurd. Where did he pull the skin of the Han army flag, so he was not a Han Chinese?
After thinking about it, Minning seriously said to the fourth master, "Master, I think it's time for a Manchu-Han marriage. Only by integrating Han blood into my Aixinjueluo family can we make the people recognize us and won't always regard us as Aliens."
Fourth master rubbed his index finger and thumb together, turned his back and thought about it.
Minning grabbed his shoulders and said, "After all, our Manchus are small in number. If we want to lead a huge nation like the Han people, we should take the initiative to integrate into it. Is it a dangerous thing to be independent? One day, it will leave a crisis for future generations.”
Fourth Master turned around and grabbed her hand, stared into her eyes and asked, "What crisis?"
Minning withdrew his hand, turned around and sat down on a chair, poured a cup of tea and said, "If one day the Qing Dynasty falls, do you think that after the change of dynasty, will the alien royal family be in danger, or will the royal family with Han blood be in danger?"
Everything is dangerous, relying on the Supreme Emperor's extermination of Zhu's descendants, Fourth Master has to admit that those in power are indeed wary of foreign races.
The fourth master was unwilling to admit it, he said furiously: "Shut up, how could my Qing Dynasty perish?"
Minning sat on the chair and watched him get angry.
After the fourth master let go of his anger, he had to admit in embarrassment that the Qing Dynasty would indeed perish one day.
This is even more difficult for him to accept than before he was asked to prepare for his descendants in the northeast.
In fact, there will never be a dynasty that lasts forever in this world, just like the Qin Dynasty that ruled the world, Qin Shihuang wanted the Qin Dynasty to last forever, so he called himself Qin Shihuang, but he might not have thought of it until his death...
Qin, the second generation will perish!
The fourth master can't guarantee whether all the grandchildren of the future generations will be successful, there will always be times when unworthy descendants lose their country.
But let him admit it now, fourth master couldn't bear it.
Minning personally poured him a cup of tea, "Master, so let's make a plan now."
Fourth Master held the teacup, looked at her out of breath, and then drank the tea in one breath, "Who said we have to make plans now?"
Minning gave a "tsk", seeing that he was still unwilling to give up, he snapped his fingers and said, "My lord, it's different now, the news is blocked, and the royal family is separated from the common people. Royal marriages are naturally separated from the common people." Nothing to do." At this point, she paused and looked up at him, "But don't forget! Now that there is an extra newspaper, you can know the world's affairs without going out. In the future, you think that the common people will understand the affairs of the royal family. not interested?"
The fourth master held the empty teacup tightly and stared straight at her, "So what? Who dares to report on the royal affairs?"
Minning asked him puzzledly, "Could it be that you plan to separate the royal family from the common people?" Then reminded him, "Master, we'd better create an image of being close to the people, so that the common people can believe that the common people will also be able to issue some policies in the future." It’s easier to accept. Do you think it’s better to issue an order suddenly from above, and it will take a few years to implement it, or let the people support the royal family independently and accept these policies on their own initiative?”
Fourth Master was still a little moved after hearing his words. He had to say that if the people supported him and took the initiative to accept his orders, just thinking about it would make him secretly happy.
He had appeared in front of the people according to what she said before, and the policy on the capital side was indeed easy to implement.
Thinking about it now is just doing it more thoroughly.
Fourth master had already been dizzy by Minning, and felt that creating an image of the royal family as close to the people was indeed a good thing that could be achieved in one fell swoop.
Wait, what does this have to do with Hongkyung's marriage?
Fourth Master came back to his senses and looked at her warily.
Minning turned the topic back unceremoniously, "This time for the Longevity Day, I am not only planning to invite the girls from the families you chose, but also some daughters from the Hanchen family. Of course, I am not forcing Hongkyung Marry a Han girl. Invite people over first, then let Hong Kyung choose by himself, and he will choose whoever he chooses."
Fourth Master said immediately, "Yes!"
December [-]th is the Longevity Festival. It is definitely not a happy thing to celebrate the Longevity Festival in this kind of ice and snow.
Unlike the time of the Supreme Emperor, the Wanshou Festival can only be enjoyed if the weather is not too cold or hot in May.
Now that it's the twelfth lunar month, no one has the courage to run out to play.This is probably one of the reasons why the Longevity Festival has not been lively in the past few years.
Even fourth master himself dislikes working so hard in winter.
On this day, Hong Kyung was notified by Er Niang, and carrying the small portrait that Er Niang gave him last time, he braved the severe cold and came to the garden.
Nowadays, if it is not a major festival, it must be held in the palace. The emperor seldom goes back to the palace, and completely regards the Old Summer Palace as the political center.
Even the ministers of the DPRK and China bought houses near the Old Summer Palace and moved here.
But the six parts are still in the capital.
Hongkyung has heard Khan Ama tell him not to go out of Beijing next year, but to enter the sixth department as an intern.
This shows that he has officially entered the court.
To be honest, the age to quickly enter the court is much later than that of uncles.
As for Khan Ama, he was brought by Huang Mafa to listen to the government when he was fifteen or sixteen years old.
Nowhere is it like him, he is almost twenty and still running around, and he even has to organize a team by himself.
Hong Jing wanted to sneer, his mother-in-law and Khan Ama must have tried to cheat him, so they did not let him enter the court for so long.
But I have to say that running around in these years has indeed gained a lot of experience.Regardless of whether he enters the household department or the official department in the coming year, he is not afraid. To enter the household department, he has experience in working in a bank.Entering the official department, he has experience in running a steel plant.
And these two are the most important of the six, and Hong Kyung feels that even if he doesn't enter for the time being, he will enter one day sooner or later.
After entering Xinghua Village, Hong Kyung handed over the small portrait in his arms.
Minning spoke to him, "I will call all these girls to the garden on the Wanshou Day in the future, and then you will be together and choose the one you like."
When Hong Kyung heard the news suddenly, he was shocked and did not recover.
Minning threatened him, "This time, you, Ama, have made up your mind. If you don't choose one, he will marry you later!"
Hong Jing had a dark face, "If you mean marriage, you mean marriage." He is not Hongshi, and he dare not even go back to the garden to avoid getting married.
Minning poked his forehead, a little resentful, "Can you compare with your Ama? It's only because you were born in this era, and you can't have wives and concubines like your Ama. If you don't pick one If you want to, you can only spend your whole life with someone who is not satisfied in the future." At the end of her speech, she had a threatening tone.
Before Hong Jing could speak, Min Ning continued, "Don't think about taking concubines. This policy is related to the Qing Dynasty's population increase. You will never be allowed to break it first!"
Hong Kyung pursed his lips, "My son understands."
Minning patted the stack of small portraits beside her hand, "Don't worry, Erniang didn't treat you badly this time, not only these, but also some Hanchen women, you can choose any style you want. If you choose, don't worry about it." You, Ama, I'm going to ask the Supreme Emperor to marry you!"
Hong Kyung thought for a while and asked, "Is it okay to pick Chinese women?"
Min Ning stared at Hong Kyung playfully, thinking to himself, it really is his own son, and he really has a tacit understanding with her.
Hong Kyung was bewildered by her, and asked tentatively, "Emiang, could it be possible?"
Minning smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Go pick it as soon as possible, Er Niang assures you, no matter who you pick, it will be your Fujin."
Hong Kyung suddenly had an idea in his mind, it seemed that the imperial court had some policy that he didn't know about.
This time it is probably about the same marriage between Man and Han.
Hong Jing has been instilled with advanced ideas since he was a child, and he doesn't pay much attention to the difference between Manchu and Han. He also knows that the Eight Banners system is an inferior system. Sooner or later, it will fail to catch up with the development of the times and drag down the entire Qing Dynasty.
Nowadays, the main barrier to intermarriage between Manchu and Han is not the royal family, but the Eight Banners system.
If they really got married, it would be difficult to guarantee the privileges of the Eight Banners by virtue of their huge Han Chinese base, and this was the main reason for their resistance.
No one can guarantee whether the privileges of the Eight Banners will still exist after intermarriage with Han people.
Khan Ama has started to reform the military system, which has achieved some results.
