[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

Chapter 258

Concubine De did not avoid Yinzhen when she got along with her daughter Wen Xian, and occasionally held Yinzhen in her arms when teaching Wen Xian, patting him softly and teaching him gently.

Concubine De said with emotion: "There is one more year, we Wen Xian is also six years old, it's time to go to the study."

Wen Xian was afraid of life, and when he heard that he was going to leave Er Niang to study, he was extremely reluctant, and also feared the unknown ahead: "E Niang, can I not go to the study?"

"My brothers have to go to the study at the age of four, and the princesses go to the study room at the age of six. They are raised separately. That is the emperor's rule. The older sisters in front of you are all learning there. How can Wen Xian not go? If you go there I'm afraid, I can't find your sixth brother and fourth brother, other princesses are not as happy as our Wen Xian, there are two older brothers."

In the harem, those who are beautiful and of high status are not as good as those who can give birth. Concubine De is neither the most beautiful nor the highest in status, but the most enviable thing about her is her strong stomach and good health.In addition, he was able to figure out some of the king's heart, and understood how to do it to win Kangxi's favor, and gradually gained a firm foothold in the harem.

When it comes to the way of survival in the harem, Concubine De is one of the best, and she also guessed some emperor's thoughts.

There is a high possibility that the princesses will go to get married in the future. The emperor hopes to cultivate princesses who are both talented and courageous, so he has set up an area in the upper study room for all the princesses to learn. There are both literary and martial arts lessons. Horseback riding, archery, etc., taking advantage of the venues of the brothers, the courses are staggered and arranged, but all the places in the study room are used to the extreme.

Concubine De didn't want her daughter to marry far away in Mongolia in the future. No one knew what happened in the future. Now that she saw the two daughters in front of her in a small group, Concubine De's heart was about to melt. She just wanted to shelter them for the rest of her life .

Yinzhen was drowsy listening to this, with his head resting on Concubine De's chest, smelling the warm fragrance from his mother's body, mumbling at the corner of his mouth that he was blowing bubbles.

"Your fourth brother reminded Erniang that you can start teaching Wen Xian to do some small handicrafts, so that you can exercise your hands-on ability, and then teach you how to read, so that after the first year, the schoolwork will be easier."

Not long after she taught, she saw Yin Zuo coming, holding a handsome little Jingba in her hand. The long hair behind Jingba's ears was braided by people, and she was raised by Yinzhen.

Concubine De smiled and said: "Why did you bring your fourth brother's Jingba here? If your fourth brother knows about it, he must tell you."

"The fourth brother has gone to the household department. I heard that we finished the exams today, and entrusted me to feed his Jingba chicken jerky. This is not too much to eat, so I have to take it for a walk."

Yinzuo patted Jingba's dog's head, and the docile puppy was looking at him with watery eyes, so he waved to Wen Xian and grinned: "Do you want to pet it, sister?"

Wen Xian's eyes lit up, she trotted over, and under Yin Zuo's guidance, she squatted next to the dog, touched its white and soft fur, and said enviously, "Fourth brother, this puppy is so beautiful!"

Princess Yinzhen snorted, turned her head in disdain, turned her chubby buttocks, turned her back to them and continued to sleep with her eyes closed.

Concubine De asked Yinzuo: Your sister will go to the study next year, how is the situation there?

Yinzuo replied: "It's very good over there. Brothers are of different ages, but some courses overlap each other. Every time I go to class, I don't feel lonely. Whether it's reviewing texts or taking martial arts classes, I and a few Brothers will help each other and play together."

"Princess, they teach separately from us, but the martial arts class is shared with us, and the classes are staggered with ours, so that they will not collide with each other."

"The eldest princess is the oldest and cares about her younger sisters. Rong Xian and Duan Jing are about the same age. They always walk together. Ke Jing is the youngest and has a cheerful personality. She can get along with the two older sisters. Wen Xian will come over next year. ..."

Yin Zuo thought about it, and was a little worried about Wen Xian's temper.

"Emiang, the first year's homework for the princesses is not difficult. With Wen Xian's calm personality, if she can study hard, she won't be far behind. But Wen Xian can take the initiative to make friends with other princesses and do homework together. , play together, take an exam?"

"Princesses began to learn riding and archery at the age of ten. Before the age of ten, the martial arts class was to play together and strengthen their bodies under the guidance of a female master."

Concubine De looked down at her shy daughter and sighed softly.

"But Er Niang, don't worry, the eldest princess takes good care of the newly enrolled younger sisters."

But no matter how much she takes care of her, the big princess is already a real person, different from the little princesses.

If she wants to integrate into the study room and not appear isolated, the most urgent task now is not to teach Wen Xian how to be hands-on, but to hone her courage and cultivate her courage.

Wen Xian asked curiously: "Sixth brother, what will I learn when I go there?"

"Of course the courses we study are different from ours, but you also have basic courses, poetry and book courses, math courses, and science courses." Yinzuo can only give a general idea, but he took Princess Chunxi as an example, and said that Concubine De and Wen Xian listened: "The eldest princess can ride horses and shoot arrows in martial arts, she can speak well in writing, and can tell right from wrong. The butler of mathematics is at hand. She also knows some astronomy and geography. She can speak Manchu, Mongolian, and Chinese fluently. Don't look at her. She is quiet during literature class, but wearing riding clothes during martial arts class, she is the most heroic, Khan Ama always praises her for having the spirit of a Manchurian daughter."

Wen Xian heard that Khan Ama had such a high opinion of the elder sister, and he yearned for it: "The elder sister is amazing!"

Let's say that this eldest princess is called Chunxi, and she is the daughter of Prince Gong Changning.She was brought up in the palace as an adopted daughter in the early years. Although she is not the emperor's own daughter, she has the decency and love of a real daughter.

It was also after her that the harem that used to always die young began to be full of vitality. Both the empress dowager and the empress dowager loved her blessings, and they took her by their side to teach them since they were young.

She was also the first among all the princesses to be exposed to the new education in the study room. After entering the study room, she learned knowledge and strengthened her body, and her whole spirit changed.

Concubine De was thoughtful: It seems that the emperor hopes that his daughters will be open-minded, well-educated and reasonable.

Thinking about it, how could the emperor, as a father, ask his daughter to practice the "virtue of a woman without talent".

Yinzhen listened, and quietly pricked up his ears. At the moment, he had no sleepiness at all, and his mind was full of "so the princess is going to study in the study?"

Yes, the princess can not only go to school, but the princess can also become independent and do things that monopolize the power!

According to the memory of his previous life, the fourth princess Kejing married Tuxietu Khan of Khalkha Mongolia, supervised the country in the name of Khan Ama, and officially participated in political affairs as a woman.She is respected by the common people, loved by Mongolia, she is full of glory, and she has power in Mongolia!

Suddenly, Yinzhen sat up suddenly.

yes!Why didn't I expect that even if I cast the wrong baby, my life will not be in vain, and I can still make a way to the sky!

If Khan Ama had a regent princess in his previous life, then he can also become a general princess in this life.

But after Kangxi dismissed and replaced the censor, he found that Prince Yu was still on the side and did not take the initiative to leave. The good mood that had just been flying because of his son's embarrassment immediately fell back.

He motioned to Prince Yu: Why are you still not leaving?

The soles of Fuquan's feet were fixed in place as if glued on, and he refused to leave.

Under the prince's curious eyes, Fuquan persuaded Kangxi again: "The emperor intends to conquer Galdan himself, and the help of his brothers must be indispensable. Galdan is located in the Western Regions, and the battle line from the capital to there is too long. The battlefield will affect Khalkha and Mongolia at any time." , the territory is huge and the enemy's route is unpredictable, and when we make various arrangements, we will face the situation that there will not be enough generals. Prince Gong is a man capable of fighting with troops, and a ready-made commander of an army can take on great responsibilities."

Yinfeng recalled, Uncle Chang Ning, oh~ Isn't he guarding the imperial tomb?

The land for the construction of the scientific research institute was donated by Uncle Chang Ning.

Kangxi: "I don't believe him!"

Fuquan winked at Yinreng again and again, hoping that he would say a few words to cooperate.

Yinfeng asked: "Is Khan Ama planning to recruit the emperor's uncle back to fight?"

"He has done something unforgivable, how can I forgive him easily, I don't even want to give him a chance to make amends! Did you forget that if it was not for his negligence, you would not have been taken away. "

Yinfeng: "Oh, then if you don't recruit him back, what's the point of recruiting him? Khan Ama gets angry when he sees him, or let the emperor's uncle reflect on the emperor's grandfather at the imperial mausoleum."

Kangxi was quite surprised, and glanced at him in surprise: You didn't contradict me this time?

Yinfeng coughed lightly, instead of looking at Fuquan's complicated eyes, he talked about the reform of the household department.

Seeing this, Prince Yu wanted to speak many times, but was interrupted by the crown prince. Without a chance to speak, he immediately felt depressed and embarrassed.

He sighed softly, knowing that he had no chance to persuade the emperor today, so he had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

Kangxi also felt uncomfortable: It was as if I had treated my brother badly.

The more Prince Yu persecuted, the more Kangxi was unwilling to bring Prince Gong back.

When Prince Yu retreated after knowing the difficulties, Kangxi praised Yinfeng: "It's still Baocheng who knows my heart, unlike my elder brother who always makes things difficult for me."

Seeing that there was no one else, Yinreng lowered his voice and whispered to Kangxi: "Are you really going to give Uncle Changning a chance to pay off his merits? He has been guarding the imperial tomb for many years, and the prisoners in the prison have been in jail longer than him." Make it shorter."

Kangxi's face suddenly changed, and he said with displeasure: "Why, did you forget that he took you into captivity?"

"He was indeed wrong about what happened back then. My son agrees that Khan Ama did not forgive him, but think about how many people in the conquest of Galdan can help you. If you don't appoint two emperor uncles, are you planning to continue Reuse General Ludhon?"

Due to the war with the Luocha Kingdom, Lu Dehong has made great achievements in battle, and he is already unrecognizable. He is already a great scholar, No. 1 in the imperial court, and behind him is still a huge clan interest.

The clan is not all in the same line as Khan Ama, there are also descendants of grandfather and great-grandfather brothers, the relationship is intertwined, they are called relatives of the emperor, but in fact they cause a lot of trouble for Khan Ama.

The big brother nibbled away at Le Dehong's influence in the army, and it was initially effective, but it almost fell short because of rewards for his meritorious deeds.

Kangxi was thoughtful: indeed, rather than allowing the clan and princes to monopolize the power, it is better to distribute the power and military exploits to more people.

Otherwise, how can I say that my son understands Kangxi?Fuquan persuaded him for a long time, saying that Chang Ning's strength as a general was not enough to make the emperor let go of his grudges, and the only way to persuade the emperor to change his mind was to analyze the power entanglement between the court and China.

Conquering Galdan himself was a major decision made by Kangxi, and he took it very seriously.Prepare with the heart of victory, but if the battle goes well, what he needs to consider in the future is the balance between the DPRK and China.

It's just...Kangxi took a deep breath, and asked him with a stern face: "Why didn't you say it just now? I rejected Fuquan!" Now, if I try to persuade him to change his mind, isn't it to let him go back on his word and slap himself in the face?

Yinfeng blinked and reminded: "Big sister is nineteen years old, and she will marry to Mongolia next year. This is the marriage that Uku's mother mentioned before she died! She was directly married to Taiji from the Horqin tribe of Mongolia. After all, the Horqin tribe is also In the early years, he began to support Khan Ama's Mongolian tribe," Yinfeng's memory of that time has been blurred, and in retrospect, only Wu's bloody questioning "Princess Qing deserves to be sacrificed ?"

"Uncle Huang is the biological father of eldest sister. Before she gets married, won't Khan Ama give her the grace to meet her biological father?"

Look, the ready-made ladder is just handed over.

Kangxi came back to his senses, his face softened a little, and he boasted: "I still have more ideas about securing success."

Kangxi ordered the South Study Room to draft an imperial decree and send it to Prince Yu's mansion, ordering Prince Yu to go to the imperial mausoleum to pick up Chang Ning, who was alone there to guard the mausoleum of the late emperor.

Fuquan was unhappy, and after leaving the Forbidden City, seeing that it was still early, he found the most prosperous restaurant in the capital to relax.He asked for a private room not available to high-ranking officials, ordered a jug of wine, and drank three times in a row before he breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a storyteller talking impassionedly at the bottom of the restaurant, there was some noise down there, the diners in the lobby were in high spirits, and people kept taking out money and handing it to Xiao Er, hoping that the storyteller would explain in more detail.

That's right, recently every teahouse and restaurant has switched to a storyteller to warm up the scene, which is more profitable than hiring a dancer to dance and accompanied by a musician. The storyteller hired by this restaurant must be the best among storytellers By.

Storyteller: "The missionary who came from abroad saw the imperial doctor take out the long and thin silver needles from the needle bag, and immediately exclaimed, 'God, you are going to use this thing to prick people and treat people?!'"

Some diners booed from below: "This red-haired boy has no experience, and he doesn't know that there are such medical skills as acupuncture and moxibustion!"

Storyteller: "No!"

"Just look at the patient who was wailing incessantly in his illness, only crying for a splitting headache, his expression gradually softened under the acupuncture and moxibustion of the imperial doctor, and the foreign missionary was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell to the ground, he opened his mouth and shouted, 'How can there be such a thing in the world? It must be a miracle created by God for such a superb spell!'”

There was a roar of laughter from below, and everyone laughed like crazy.

"What an ignorant red-haired boy."

"Return to God, there is no God in the Qing Dynasty to give them miracles."

Storyteller: "From then on, this foreigner who used to be arrogant and dismissive of imperial physicians became humble. He learned acupoints and acupuncture from the old doctor. In order to thoroughly study the medical skills of the Qing Dynasty, he also learned Chinese characters."

The story has come to an end here, and the interest of the diners below is obviously not over yet.

They said loudly to the storyteller: "Say more, more."

Not enough, not enough, but more!

More and more people take the initiative to pay, just hoping to impress the storyteller and tell some interesting stories.

The storyteller saw the silver that Xiao Er brought up, his eyes lit up, he coughed lightly, and said loudly: "Since everyone wants to hear it, I will tell you about the interesting story about the foreigner learning Chinese characters."

The applause was endless, and the storyteller started again: "But the foreigner, in order to learn our square and square Chinese characters, read "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" like a child's enlightenment."

Storyteller: "Zi said, 'Learning without thinking is useless', and he followed the catchy recitation of 'If you don't die, you forget', and if you don't die, you forget'..."

"Hahahaha! If you don't learn it, you forget it. Didn't the teacher who taught him die of anger?"

"He couldn't tell the difference between his own self and his own self. We people in the capital speak with an accent, so he found a local to teach him how to read Chinese, and he learned it for two or three years. Become a foreigner with a Beijing accent!"

Afterwards, Prince Yu didn't listen to the story any more. The meal was finished, the wine was finished, and the younger brother who was alone in the imperial mausoleum didn't know how long it would be before he came back. How many brothers would they have? back?

If the prince doesn't help, I'm afraid it's because he has a grudge against what happened to Chang Ning back then.But even if the crown prince helped, Fuquan didn't think he could persuade the emperor, maybe it would cause him to be reprimanded, so Fuquan didn't blame him.

In the past, when the emperor's grandmother was around, she could still persuade the emperor, but now that the emperor's grandmother is gone, no one can shake the emperor's mind.
