Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 860 Spring

The capital city in March seemed peaceful.

Although this year is the 59th year of Kangxi since the change of the Yuan Dynasty, the first emperor Shizu Wen died on the seventh day of the first month of the 18th year of Shunzhi, and the third prince Xuan Ye ascended the throne two days later.Therefore, counting, this year has been the 60th anniversary of Kangxi's accession to the throne.

Throughout the ages, among hundreds of emperors, Kangxi became the first one who could be a full-time emperor.

Even the famous long-lived emperor Shang Wang Wuding only reigned for 59 years, Zhou Muwang 55 years, and Han Wudi 54 years.

Among the courtiers, there is no shortage of people who praise their kindness. Since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when the six ministries opened their offices, the request for a celebration has never been broken.

Kangxi refuted it with the excuse of "using troops in the northwest, and the soldiers and the people work hard".

If one is happy, it is Prince Jian Yaerjiang, because his son Yongqian returned to Beijing from Xining.

No matter how much love he has for his deceased wife, Yarjana really loves this son-in-law.After the eldest son Delong died of illness, Yaerjiang had already regarded Yongqian, the second son, as his heir.

At the beginning, he agreed to let Yongqian go to Xining with the fourteenth brother, because he wanted to earn military merit for his son.He regretted it when his son left Beijing.

Although the surname is also Aixinjueluo, the family of Jian Wangfu is not the descendant of the great ancestor, and it is already the ultimate to be able to be a hereditary Prince Heshuo.No matter how many military achievements, it is just icing on the cake.

Looking at his son who was a bit masculine due to the wind and sand in the northwest, Yaerjiang resisted the excitement in his heart, nodded, and said: "It's good to come back, first go to Fujin to say hello. You have been out of Beijing these days, really My son talked about your many creations, and she also liked the things you sent back last time."

But Yongqian didn't feel happy, fell to his knees with a "plop", and said with shame on his face: "My son has embarrassed Ama, please punish Ama."

Yaerjiang'a was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at his son without speaking.

Yongqian's face was already flushed, he clenched his fists hard, his eyes were red, and said: "Ama, my son has been away for more than a year, and he has learned the art of military formation, horsemanship and archery, so he dare not slack off... I thought , to display the lintel of our Prince Jian's mansion on the battlefield... Who would have thought that before the army entered Tibet, we would be transferred away by the General Wang..."

Yaerjiang remembers clearly that his son looks gentle and gentle, but he also envies the achievements of his ancestors. He even admires the fourteenth elder brother who is in charge of the military. He has always been "fourteenth uncle" since he was a child.

Now, sadly returning to Beijing, I feel resentment in my heart.

Yaerjiang helped his son up, and said: "It's not the fourteenth elder brother who transferred you away, it's the emperor's grace. Although Guangshan and you have not formally asked for the seal, they are the sons of Prince Yu and Prince Jian's residence. Bei Zi Lu Bin and General Protecting the Nation Jing Shun are not as good as you, but they are also of high status. The emperor has always been kind to his clan, and he is worried about you being involved in danger.

"If the status is valuable, who can be more valuable than the general Tongping County King? If you care about the heirs of the clan and don't want them to take risks, why did you leave Hongshu in Xining?" It was to excuse the fourteenth elder brother, and said with a bit of grievance: "My son just remembers Ah Ma's warning, and respects the general, nothing close to him."

Yaerjiang shook his head and said: "The clan is not the royal family after all. Don't worry about your risk, it's just because you are the clan. And Hongshu, the elder brother of Chunjun Palace, is the grandson of the emperor, the nephew of the future emperor. To obtain military merits in the Northwest, one must first obtain the emperor's grandson. In this way, the establishment of meritorious service will become the clan on which the future emperor relies. We, the descendants of the Taizu and Taizong, naturally have to rely on the latter."

It's rare for father and son to talk so much.

Yongqian seemed to understand, and murmured: "Ama, what about King Pingjun? He is not a prince or grandson. Speaking of rank, he is higher than the general king. He also stays in the northwest and guards the ancient wood camp."

Although the fourteenth elder brother said that he went out on behalf of the sky and was named a general, he was used as a king, but the official title was Gushan Beizi.Naersu is the hereditary King of Doro.

Yaerjiang smiled and said: "It is because his title is higher than that of the fourteenth elder brother that he was able to stay in the northwest. If the fourteenth elder brother has something... to return to Beijing, there must be someone with a strong status in the northwest to take charge of the overall situation. The northwest, after all, is not the northwest of the fourteenth prince, but the northwest of the emperor..."

As for why he trusted Naersu, it was probably because Naersu had been raised in the palace since he was a child, and the daughter of Cao Yin, who was the head of the royal palace, was Fujin.

Your Majesty, there is no shortage of rewards for the children born to Mrs. Li's wife Cao Yintong.No one would doubt the loyalty of several generations of the Cao family to the royal family. Is it the icing on the cake that the Pingjun Palace won this Fujin?
Thinking of the rumors of the past few years, Ya'ajiang's expression became a little unfathomable...

On the side of Chunjun Prince's Mansion, no one was happy because Hongshu was "reused".

Even Di Fujin, who was most reluctant to let Hongshu be his heir earlier, heard that the elder brothers from other palaces had come back, but Hongshu followed the Chinese army from Xining, and he felt a little worried.

Because the wives and concubines of the same side Fujin have been fighting for more than 20 years, after Fujin had no hope of seeking a child, he thought that who would be the heir of the palace, and he could not establish the three older brothers from Fujin.

For this, she has also moved a lot in the past few years.

Later, when she saw that Brother Seven had made up her mind and Hong Shu's position became more and more stable, she felt a little disheartened.

However, after all these years of watching with cold eyes, she gradually felt at ease.Hong Shu's conduct is rare in the royal family, but he is a truly pure and filial person.

In addition, Hongshu has the best relationship with his adopted daughter, Da Gege Chuyu, and is also friendly to other half-brothers and sisters.Di Fujin took a step back in his heart, and the relationship with his eldest daughter-in-law gradually reconciled, not as tiring as in the early years.

If Hongshu really made a mistake... Hong Zhuo, who is further down, is not a good-tempered person...

Even Di Fujin was worried, let alone his biological mother, Fang Fujin, who was terribly worried.

Difficulty sleeping and eating, and because of the change of seasons, Fang Fujin fell ill.

Tomorrow Fujin went to see her once and saw that she was seriously ill, so he was afraid that something might be wrong, so he went to great lengths to invite the imperial physician to diagnose and treat her.

Fang Fujin suffers from a mental illness, and even after taking medicine, Hong Zhuo felt sorry for his mother, and reported it to his father.

But he was careless. He didn't think that his mother's "heart disease" was worrying about his elder brother who was far away in the Northwest China Army tent.After all, in his heart, as a descendant of Aixinjueluo and a son of the Eight Banners, it is a great honor to be able to go out with the army.

He also thought that his mother's "heart disease" was due to the pregnancy of the two concubines in the inner courtyard.

My elder brother is already in his 20s, and the oldest half-brother in the palace is only ten years old, and he can still steal his brother's position as heir, so what is there to worry about?Even if these two concubines give birth to an elder brother, what can they do.She was young and her birth mother was of low birth.One of them, Fu Jin, was born as a concubine.

The reason why they are all named is because there are not as many wives and concubines in the prince's mansion as in other prince's mansions.The father is also generous, so he praised his status.

After getting the news, Chu Yu asked her mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, to go back to the palace to visit her.

Along the way, she tried to explain her mother's words.However, I feel a headache and feel sorry for my mother.Because she is not the main wife, even if she has five children, the mother is still trembling, walking on eggshells.

When they arrived at the palace, Chu Yu didn't even think of a good excuse.After all, according to filial piety, concubine mothers give birth to their father, she, as a daughter, should be happy.But from the mother's point of view, she really didn't want those young aunts to be part of her mother's favor.

After entering the palace, she still followed the old rules and first went to the main hall to meet her adoptive mother, Fujin.After hearing what her aunt said, Chu Yu realized that her mother's illness was not caused by the two concubines being pregnant, but by worrying about the eldest son.

"Hey, since you're back, it's best to try to persuade her. I asked you, Ama, that the elder brother is in the tent of the Chinese army, and your fourteenth uncle is guarded by the army. It's safe. It doesn't mean that the imperial court has 30 troops. Northwest? The Chinese army is going to fight under the banner of Daitian, even if it is not like an iron barrel, it is not far from it, so there is nothing to worry about." Fu Jin said, holding Chu Yu's hand.

Chu Yu responded one by one, and Di Fujin sent her to side Fujin.

Seeing his daughter Gui Ning, Chuan Fujin couldn't help but get red eyes.For this eldest daughter, although she was not raised by him when she was young, she is also regarded as the backbone.

When Chu Yu saw her, she sighed inwardly, took the handkerchief, stepped forward to help her mother wipe away her tears, and said, "Er Niang, how many people outside envy Hongshu. Because he is the emperor's grandson, and his status is precious, even if he goes out with the army , the hard job of entering Tibet to fight is not his turn, just follow the camp of the Chinese army and manage the food and grass, and then he can get military merit. Emiang should be happy, even if Hongshu is not a descendant, with this military merit, the county The identity of the eldest son of the king has also become more and more secure. Huang Ma's method of ordering Hongshu Suizheng is a great favor to our palace."

Hearing his daughter's words, Ce Fujin's tears stopped, and he begged a little: "Really? Didn't you say that Hongshu left Xining? It is said that Zhungeer people are fierce and come and go like the wind. If we meet But how good..."

Chu Yu held her hand, and said, "Emiang, my daughter doesn't understand those military affairs. It's just that if you think about it, if the two armies are fighting, should the food and grass camp be placed in front, waiting for the enemy to rob and burn it; In the hidden rear, all right?"

Although he didn't know why his daughter asked him this way, he still replied: "Naturally, it's a hidden place in the back. Putting it in the front, isn't it an enemy?"

"Then why is mother worried? Although Hongshu left Xining, he went to the grain and grass camp to take charge of the grain and grass. Besides, he was with Uncle Fourteen, and I don't know how many people are protecting him. Er Niang, don't scare her with her own size. If Hong Shu knew that Er Niang fell ill because of him, he wouldn't feel at ease." Chu Yu said softly.

Perhaps in the early years, Fujin asked for a century of love with her husband, but over the years, as newcomers continued to be added to the house, she put all her thoughts on her children.

Seeing that her daughter spoke with certainty, she actually felt much more at ease.I wonder if I think too badly, I always think badly, don't curse my son because of this...

Cao Yong couldn't take care of the ups and downs in the capital.

Now, he is staying in Yangzhou for a few days, and the fleet has been overhauled. Today, he will set sail and sail down the Yangtze River.

On the Yangzhou wharf, looking at the big boat on the shore, and at Cheng Mengxing, Cheng Mengkun couldn't help but feel a headache.

This cousin is really capricious.He won the Jinshi, entered the Imperial Academy, said he had given up, and Ding You would no longer be an official.Now, Xu Shi is tired of staying in Yangzhou. Seeing that Cao Yong is going to Guangzhou, he somehow thinks of brazenness.

"Brother Xing, my niece is already sixteen. The first two years were delayed by Xiaozhong. You are not in a hurry as a father these two years. Do you want to keep delaying?" Cheng Mengkun refused to give up, and persuaded in a low voice: "Guangzhou It took you a long way to go, at least half a year, and this year has passed."

"Cousin, I only have one son and one daughter, and I really don't want He'er to marry early. Stay for another year, say goodbye next year, and it won't be too late to leave the court at eighteen next year." Speaking of this, Cheng Mengxing made a long bow, Said: "I will entrust my cousin to the family affairs."

Cheng Mengkun couldn't persuade him, so he could only sigh, waved his hands, and said, "It's up to you, up to you."

After all, Cheng Mengxing is the owner of Ceyuan, and Zihe Zixiu and his siblings all went to the pier to see him off.

After Cheng Mengxing finished talking with his cousin, he had to explain a few words to his daughter, so that he could serve his aunt and take care of the housework; then, he said a few words to his son about studying hard.

Zihe led his younger brother to respond obediently, and saw Cao Yong who was greeting his cousin not far away from the corner of his eyes, and remembered what he heard in the upper room of the Dangui courtyard that day.

The aunt who had raised her for several years and had always been the most dependent and respected by her had such an unbearable life experience.

This world is not as beautiful as it is said in the drama.

In her own heart, she couldn't tell whether she should despise the aunt or pity the aunt.

After Cao Yong left, the aunt went into the back room and was not shocked when she saw her at a loss.

Zihe's panic gradually subsided. Looking at the aunt's calm eyes, she understood that the aunt remembered that she was in the back room from the beginning to the end.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a while, Cheng showed a wry smile, bowed his head and said: "I have been so filthy for half my life, I shouldn't have listened to your grandmother and returned to Cheng's house..."

Zihe was soft-hearted after all, and hurriedly said: "My aunt is originally a daughter of the Cheng family, so what's wrong with returning to the Cheng family? Besides, after my grandmother passed away, my younger brother and I depended on my aunt to take care of me."

"These filthy things should not have been heard by you, an innocent girl. It's just that you, like me, lost your mother when you were young and lost your parents' teaching. You have to remember that the world is hard, and women are especially hard. Half a step I can't be wrong. I have had a rough half of my life, I can't recognize my son, I can't return to my family, it's all because of a thought when I was young." Cheng said with a sigh.

After all, this is a matter for the elders, no matter what Zihe thinks, he can't open his mouth to comment, so he can only keep silent.

I heard Cheng said quietly: "Before your grandmother passed away, you asked your father to set up a tomb for me outside the Cheng family's cemetery. I persuaded you twice, but they didn't stop your father. Your father just thought that I had nothing to do. Because of my son. As a girl, I can tell you these things, but I have no face to tell your father. Now that you know this, let me tell your father after a hundred years."

Zihe raised his head, and asked in a strange way: "Auntie...you want to be buried in Cao's house..."

"Haha!" Hearing this, Cheng couldn't help laughing out loud, but his expression was uglier than crying: "Buried in Cao's house? I have lost my virtue and virginity, how can I have the face to meet my ancestors... I After death, cremation, ashes...sprinkled directly on Qingliang Mountain in Jiangning, let the Buddha save me, a guilty person..."
