There is a time-traveling man

Chapter 35
On the first day of the first month of the 17th year of Dajin Yongzheng, the capital of the Jin Dynasty was Fanjing.

A heavy snow covered this rich and peaceful land.In this year of auspicious snow, every household is decorated with lanterns and festoons, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, which is a grand occasion of joy for the whole country.

At this time, in the Qiyue Palace of the Dajin Palace, a baby's cry brought a different kind of joy to the anxious people.

After one day and one night of labor, Emperor Yongzheng's third prince was born safely.

The heavy snow that had fallen all day and night suddenly stopped, and in the plum garden outside Qiyue Hall, red plums bloomed all over overnight, the proud snow competed with the frost, and the dark fragrance floated.

At this time, Concubine Qi is in the midst of her favor, and Emperor Yongzheng cherishes the newborn little prince as precious as jade, and because he is so precious as a prince, he bestows the name Yu, which also means golden branches and jade leaves.

……

Concubine Qi is extremely honored and favored, but since the third prince can remember, she has often taught him not to rely on his status, be domineering, and have no respect for his elders.Don't be bullying and impulsive.The third prince was still young at that time, how could he listen to these words.So on the surface, he obeyed Concubine Qi's words, but in fact, he led a group of court ladies and eunuchs to cause trouble everywhere in the palace all day long.Because the third prince was well-behaved, gentle and courteous in front of Emperor Yongzheng, Emperor Yongzheng loved him very much and rarely punished him, so that in the harem, from the princes and princesses down to the maids and eunuchs, they did not dare to provoke the third prince. Even the queen always protects him.So the third prince became even more lawless and defiant.Concubine Qi secretly knew of his actions, so she could only lament that her son was still young, and she would only wake up after suffering a big loss.After all, children in the palace grow up like this.

When the third prince was six years old, Concubine Qi's honor and favor faintly showed signs of going downhill.Concubine Yun, the mother concubine of the second prince, is cunning and jealous, aggressive in scheming, and regards Concubine Qi as a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh.

On this day, Concubine Yun brought the second prince into Qiyue Hall to provoke her in the name of visiting.At this time, the third prince already knew a little about human affairs. Seeing his mother and concubine being humiliated, he felt aggrieved, so he stood up and insulted Concubine Yun on the spot, and beat the second prince.Concubine Yun dragged the second prince with a swollen nose and swollen face, and sued the third prince before Emperor Yongzheng, and joined several other concubines to sue the third prince for all the evil deeds committed before. Only then did he know the good deeds that the third prince had done behind his back, so he severely punished the third prince.Concubine Qi was also reprimanded for lax discipline.

The third prince was punished with a cane and was beaten to pieces.Concubine Qi looked at his injuries and said, "Yu'er, do you know why you were hit by the board?"

The third prince said angrily: "It's all because of those people's framing!"

Concubine Qi shook her head and said: "What they said is roughly true, even if there are some exaggerations, those things cannot be fabricated."

The third prince still refused to accept: "I have my reasons first."

Concubine Qi slapped the third prince's wound, causing him to scream in pain.Then, Concubine Qi sneered and said, "Silly boy, do you think this palace is a place where you can reason?"

The third prince was puzzled.

Concubine Qi continued: "Don't talk about this palace, even if it is the whole world, where is there a place that can really convince people with reason? It is bustling with people, and everyone in the world does things, which one does not see what is beneficial to him? Do it, and avoid it if it is not good for you? So don't think about some stupid things that are reasonable and unreasonable. In this palace, if you hurt someone first, there are thousands of reasons, and it is also your fault. They can use some dispensable ancient teachings to make you unable to turn over forever. This time your father taught you a light lesson."

The third prince was still a little puzzled, but he didn't know how to refute, so he could only lower his head and listen.

Concubine Qi was overjoyed when she saw this, and continued to say: "To be a human in this palace, the first thing you have to do is to protect yourself and not give anyone a chance. Normally, others are cautious in their words and deeds. You are the only one who runs rampant everywhere like a bully. If others don't say that, it doesn't mean you didn't do it. Today, the concubines of the palaces mentioned your previous evil deeds a little bit, and you got this end. This is because you don't pay attention to your words and deeds on weekdays As a result, the only blame is that you are stupid than others, and you don't know how to hide your edge."

The third prince bowed his head thoughtfully.

"Prince, there are thousands of things in this world. If you can solve them with a smile, don't be so straight. If you can't solve them with a smile, you should force them to solve them. In this way, the effect of your work will be the best, and, This will also reduce some unnecessary enemies for you, do you understand?"

The third prince nodded half-understanding: "My child understands."

"Huang'er, go up to the army to attack the plan, secondly to attack the handover, and then to attack the soldiers. Do you understand the meaning of this sentence?"

The third prince thought for a while, and replied: "The master said, this sentence means that when fighting a war, the best way is to repel the enemy with a strategy."

Concubine Qi gently stroked his head, and said: "This is not only the art of war, but also how to be a human being. It is the best strategy to catch the opponent by surprise without knowing it. Like you usually, you can strike at every turn. Extremely stupid behavior. You don't pay attention to what your mother and concubine taught you on weekdays. Now that you have suffered a big loss, do you know how to repent?"

The third prince bowed his head and replied, "My child knows his mistake."

……

That night, Concubine Qi told the third prince a lot.Many years later, the third prince's ears often heard the warm and serious teachings of his mother and concubine that day.

The only blame is that you are stupid than others and don't know how to hide your edge.

There are thousands of things in this world, if you can solve them with a smile, don't keep a straight face.If you can't solve it with a smile, you have to force a smile to solve it.

It is the best strategy to use tricks to catch the other party by surprise without knowing it.
……

After the Concubine Yun incident, the third prince has become more restrained, he has become polite, gentle and amiable to those concubines, he has also become brotherly and respectful to the princes and princesses, and the elders and children are orderly.Even for those court ladies and eunuchs, they are not as domineering and arrogant as usual, and they know a little bit of tolerance.

Concubine Qi saw it in her eyes and was delighted in her heart.Little did they know that the third prince actually only knew a little bit about what she said. After all, he was only a six-year-old child. Although he was smart and smart, it was impossible for him to fully understand everything after being punished.It's just that after listening to Concubine Qi's teaching that day, he felt that what she said seemed very reasonable, and thought that as long as he listened to her words, he could protect himself and stop suffering.As for how terrifying the palace was, he only found out later.As for those words of Concubine Qi, I slowly realized them in the later days.

When the third prince was nine years old, Emperor Yongzheng adopted a beauty named Shuilian.Shui Lian is beautiful, good at dancing, and even good at playing the piano, which won the favor of Emperor Yongzheng.Therefore, within a month, Shui Lian jumped three levels, from a beauty to one of the four concubines in the palace, on an equal footing with Concubine Qi.

At this time, Concubine Qi was old and decrepit, and out of favor, but the affection between husband and wife with Emperor Yongzheng was still there, and Emperor Yongzheng treated her differently from other concubines.Concubine Lian saw it in her eyes and hated it in her heart.So secretly planned a good show of killing with a knife, Concubine Qi was accused of mutilating Zhongliang and causing chaos in the harem.Shengyan was furious, and threw Concubine Qi into the cold palace, and the Seventh Prince was temporarily raised by Concubine Yun.

The third prince was overwhelmed by this sudden incident. The mother and son, who were usually well-clothed and well-fed, are now left in the cold palace, and the other is sent under the fence.

The third prince spent two days on pins and needles in Yunxia Palace where Concubine Yun lived, and finally asked Gao Tong, the head of the guards in the palace, to take him to see his mother.Commander Gao has a very good personal relationship with Concubine Qi's younger brother, so he took the risk of secretly sending the third prince to the cold palace to see Concubine Qi.

When the third prince saw Concubine Qi, he almost didn't recognize her.The usually beautiful, elegant, graceful and luxurious concubine now has a haggard face, disheveled hair, and shabby clothes.I haven't seen her for a few days, but she has lost a lot of weight.When the third prince saw his mother, he was burned, hugging his mother and weeping bitterly.

Concubine Qi saw her son crying like this, she thought it was because he was suffering outside, her heart ached, but she held back her tears.She held her son in her arms and said, "How are you doing with Concubine Yun?"

"Mother Concubine, the baby is fine. Don't miss the Concubine Mother. The boy only hates himself for being incompetent and unable to rescue the Concubine Mother from this prison."

Concubine Qi smiled gratifiedly, her brows that had been wrinkled for a few days finally eased, and she said earnestly, "If you really want to rescue me, there is no way you can."

"any solution?"

"Who has the right to let go of this concubine in the cold palace?"

The third prince replied honestly: "Of course it is the father."

"So, baby, when you hold the supreme power in your hands, the concubine mother will naturally be able to walk out from here in a fair manner."

The third prince understood that she wanted him to be the emperor, and was taken aback: "Concubine mother, the throne of my Dajin Dynasty has always been passed on to the eldest son. If this word reaches the ears of the father, it will be It is a great crime to seek to usurp the throne."

Concubine Qi sneered and said: "Since ancient times, princes and generals have kindness, and the winner will be the king and the loser will be the king. The prince can be established but can be abolished, and the throne can be seized if it is passed on. Which emperor in history will you be the dragon chair under the seat of the emperor?" Not stained with blood? Back then, Emperor Taizu was just the son of a small salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, so in the end, he was also the Ninth Five-Year Supreme to rule the world?"

The third prince was a little dazed by her few words, after all, he had never thought about being an emperor.
