The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 220
Kangxi's 51-year examination had just ended, and according to the emperor's practice, it was time for another tour outside the Great Wall.

Rehe is a tributary of Wulie River, and the Summer Resort is in the northwest of Rehe. Kangxi often came here to escape the summer heat, usually with his concubines, princes and trusted ministers, and also summoned foreigners here to contact all tribes outside the Great Wall.About 240 miles north from Rehe is the famous Mulan paddock.

Mulan Paddock has been established for more than [-] years. After passing the Shipianzi cliff, it is [-] miles from north to south and [-] miles from east to west. It can be called vast.

Zhang's mansion received a decree of grace, so Zhang Tingyu took Gu Huaishou and Brother Ai to accompany Shengjia to Rehe to escape the summer heat, and then naturally he would follow to Mulan Qiuxi.

It's just that this time, it's a rare thing that Daqiantui and the crown prince are not included in the list of accompanying princes.

The third master Yinzhi, the fourth master Yinzhen, the eighth master Yinhu, the ninth master Yinzhen, the thirteenth master Yinxiang, and the fourteenth master Yinzhen are the things that Kangxi suddenly remembered about Brother Ai later on. , just before he left Beijing, he came and followed him.In addition to these very important princes, several younger elder brothers also went to a few, Gu Huaishu just glanced at it hastily and gave up.

Looking at Zhang Tingyu's copy of the list of retinue princes, she only felt a little startled.

Dudu left the crown prince in the capital, how does she feel...

Zhang Tingyu just told her not to worry, Gu Huaishou could see a lot of clues every time he looked at the list of the prince's retinue.

Gu Huaishu frowned, there is no prince, the prince is not at peace now, Kangxi has taken everyone away, the capital is extremely empty, Gu Huaishu only feels that the prince has been pushed to the extreme in the past two years.If Kangxi abdicated at this time, it would be enough to be the emperor for more than [-] years. It may not be a good thing to retire to Yinfeng as the Supreme Emperor.Anyway, the relationship between father and son is still saved.At the beginning, Kangxi would send someone to greet him if he didn't see the prince for a day, but now, he didn't even want to take him with him. One can imagine how disgusted he is now.

in fact……

Not necessarily disgust.

Last year the emperor and the crown prince had already had a stalemate, and now the crown prince was placed in the capital alone, with sinister intentions.

Who can guess the emperor's mind?
If Gu Huaixiu's prediction is true, Kangxi is going to kill his beloved son.

Gu Huaixiu didn't know anything else, he only knew that the crown prince would be axed, it was only a matter of time.

Now Zhang Tingyu told her not to think too much, she simply didn't think about it anymore, she just wanted to go out this time, but no elder brother had much hatred for her, and she had no contact with the Baye Party and others, so she simply went to Go to the back of the convoy to find the other wives of ministers and workers who came down with Jia En. Most of them are from the noble families of the Eight Banners, and they are different from Gu Huaixiu. Wives who are completely different from themselves mingle with each other.

Leaving the capital in mid-May, it took nearly a month on the road to reach Rehe, which is the hottest time in the north.

On a day in June, the sun was shining brightly. When it came down, the wives used exquisite incense fans to shade the sun, and the maids and nurses who brought them were busy covering the brothers.

Zhang Ruoai on Gu Huaishu's side was not afraid of the sun at all, she just looked at the princes who had dismounted in front from a distance, especially staring at the fourteenth prince Yinzhen in the crowd.

After all, Zhang Ruoai had seen Yinzhen from afar back then, and she still recognizes him now.

Zhang Ruoai, who was only thinking about her own firearms, was soon discovered by his mother's ambition, and then she slapped her: "Did you forget what you said when you went out?"

Zhang Ruoai hurriedly stood upright, and smiled gracefully at his mother: "Mother, my son knows."

When Zhang Ruoai was at home, her attitude was very correct, and she didn't care about foreign things, except for the firecracker.

After all, it is a rare item. How can folk shotguns compare with those from the Firearms Battalion?

The fourteenth master used a gun from Russia, which made Zhang Ruoai envious.

Gu Huaishu pulled Zhang Ruoai to the front and walked away. Seeing that he was saying goodbye to everyone one by one, and was assigned to his own room temporarily, he pressed Zhang Ruoai and told him to sit down: "When I came out, I said that it is hot. There's no way to move the firecrackers on this side of the river, even the Fourteenth Lord would not dare to move."

Now Yinzhen is the son of Gushan, who was sealed together with Prince Yong's group in 48. Since the thirteenth master was not very popular with the emperor, Yinzhen gradually climbed up.

Now Gu Huaishu is suspicious, if Brother Ai didn't come out, would Yinzhen be able to come out?

Another unknown.

There are so many unknowns, it is too difficult for Gu Huaishu.

She simply didn't think about it, and only took care of her son's affairs.

Zhang Ruoai nodded after hearing this, and said, "Mother, will you listen to your son's recitation?"

"Go and get the book, Mother will just read it to you."

Gu Huaixiu agreed with a smile, then saw that Brother Ai went to pick up the book from the small book box he brought, and handed it to Gu Huaixiu, it turned out to be a copy of "Zuo Zhuan".

Listening to Ai Geer's recitation, the days go by quickly. Ai Geer looks forward to leaving Rehe every day, but the hottest time is not over yet. It is estimated that he will stay for a while, and there is no way to stay in the house all the time. , Gu Huaishu could only take Brother Ai out for a stroll.

The lotus flowers outside the Summer Resort are very beautiful, reflecting the sun and the sky, it reminds Gu Huaishu of the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River in an instant.

There were also people outside enjoying the flowers in the waterside pavilion. When they saw Gu Huaishu coming, they hurriedly greeted her: "Mrs. Zhang, it's rare for you to come out, come and fish with us for a while."

Gu Huaixiu thought about what kind of fish he could catch here, but he saw that there were several beauties in palace attire with flag heads in the pavilion, but he couldn't identify who they were for a while, only recognized one as Prince Yong's side Fujin Nian, among the crowd Among them, it can be said to stand out from the crowd.It's not that other people are not beautiful enough, but she is too beautiful.

It is said that the Nian clan is very popular with Yinzhen, although it is said that Prince Yong believes in Buddhism, understands Zen principles very well, and has some abstinence, but there is no way to really deal with the beauty.

It is probably because Yinzhen is using Nian Gengyao more and more, and Nian's appearance is really good, so he is simply very lucky, now just by looking at Nian Chenyu's complexion, he knows that life is good.

But seeing Gu Huaixiu approaching from a distance, Nian Fang Fujin slightly frowned.

Yinzhen's descendant Fujin Nala's health is not very good, and he can't be tired from long distances, so Nian's family came with him.

Gu Huaixiu only looked at the list of the princes who accompanied him, and Zhang Tingyu was not easy to copy for the female relatives, but Gu Huaixiu was confused after listening to Brother Ai's endorsement recently, and even forgot to inquire about these things.

But fortunately, there were many things that passed by. Now that I was greeted by someone, I turned to the other side and bowed slightly: "Greetings to the masters, I have seen all the ladies."

Nianshi didn't say a word, there was still the third elder brother's side Fujin sitting in the pavilion, and it was not Nian Chenyu's turn to speak, she just looked at Gu Huaishu, but she frowned slightly when she saw it.

What Nian Gengyao said is right, all beauties will grow old.

Although Gu Huaixiu was still as gorgeous as before, and his whole body temperament was approaching clean and transparent, but his eyes revealed a kind of sophistication and shrewdness honed in the passage of time.I still remember seeing her when I was a child, she still had the coquettish attitude of a young woman...

Now that I think about it, it seems like a lifetime away.

Everyone hurriedly woke her up and asked her if she was fishing or not, but Gu Huaishu shook his head and said, "No."

"Then why don't we play chess?" Someone suggested.

Gu Huaishu shook his head: "Masters and wives, just go ahead, I'll watch you go."

"What's the matter? You're not coming?" Everyone was puzzled again.

Gu Huaishu smiled slightly, with a rare bit of shyness, squinting his eyes, and said: "I'm ashamed to say, a minister's wife can't play Go."

"Then find a deck of cards to push, you will know it, right?"

"..."

Gu Huaishu didn't really want to say anything, seeing everyone looking at her, she still shook her head: "I really don't know how to do this."

Well, everyone was left speechless by her.

"I don't know what you will do, Mrs. Zhang Er?"

"...nothing."

Gu Huaishu was just talking about it for fun, how could it be possible that he really doesn't know anything?

She was just being lazy, so she just made do with it, wishing she could drag Ai away who was still looking at the lotus outside.

When everyone heard that she didn't know anything, they suddenly felt disappointed.

It is said that Zhang Tingyu is a no-nonsense person, and his wife is also a no-nonsense person. What kind of pot goes with what kind of lid is just right!

Nian Chenyu was just sitting at the side, and when she heard Gu Huaishu say "No" four times, she just covered her lips and smiled, teasingly said: "Second madam doesn't need to know anything, as long as she can sit here, she will be beautiful." It's done."

Scared, this hatred was pulled.

Gu Huaixiu laughed, knowing that Nian Chenyu was just joking with her, so he also made a joke, saying: "Those who know think that Master Xi Fujin is teasing me, those who don't know think that you are bragging. "

Everyone immediately laughed. Nianshi's words were originally a compliment, saying that Gu Huaishu was good-looking, but now that Gu Huaishou made such a joke, he pressed this sentence on Nianshi's forehead again. On the child, isn't it "boasting"?

The atmosphere became relaxed for a moment, Gu Huaixiu couldn't get out of his body, so he could only sit down.

Counting, it was already late June, Kangxi held a banquet in the pavilion not far from the sleeping hall in the palace, accompanied by concubines, princes, courtiers and servants, Gu Huaishu and others also received the favor to accompany them in the last seat.

From a distance, Gu Huaishu saw Zhang Tingyu who was sitting very close to Kangxi.

Those who sat in that circle were all the close ministers serving in the South Study Room. Besides Zhang Tingyu, there was also Li Guangdi who was at the top, and there were also Zhao Jiuheng and others from the South Study Room Hanlin who were on the same level as Zhang Tingyu.

Ever since he left the capital, Kangxi's face has been tense. Today, he suddenly hosted a banquet, and he seemed to be in a more cheerful mood. Li Guangdi was old and sick and couldn't beg for rest. This time, when Kangxi's complexion improved, his complexion naturally improved as well. .

There didn't seem to be any changes on the side of the prince. Kangxi didn't bring the prince out just to test the prince.

For Kangxi, no news is the best news, how could he be unhappy?

After all, he was the son he raised by himself, and Kangxi was reluctant to bear it. As long as the prince was filial and did not use tricks below, he could still sit firmly in the prince's position.

As soon as he thought about it, he laughed. Kangxi toasted and drank with the officials. He was about to talk about romantic things, and asked the civil servants here to show off their talents. Unexpectedly, they just made people sing After a few poems, the liquor license was handed over to Zhao Jiuheng on Zhang Tingyu's left.

Beat the drums to pass on the liquor license, and wherever the liquor license is parked, whoever writes the poem.

Zhao Jiuheng also worked in the South Study Room, and he was fairly familiar with Zhang Tingyu. This person was also very talented, and he recited a poem about the moon, which won the applause from all the halls. The man continued to beat the drums.

Unexpectedly, the disaster happened at this time.

Zhao Jiuheng bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not..."

Everyone knew it was going to be bad when they heard it. Zhang Tingyu also knew Zhao Jiuheng, and wanted to remind him, but he didn't expect Kangxi to say: "Oh, what do you want? Tell me."

When Zhao Jiuheng heard the words, he immediately said: "Before I came to Rehe, I heard the people along the road talking about the prince—"

"..."

Before he finished speaking, the previous smile on Kangxi's face changed completely, and he stared at him coldly, as if he wanted to swallow this person alive.

The wine cup in his hand was only thrown to the ground by Kangxi in an instant: "What a daring traitor and traitor! Someone pull him down for me! The stick is forty!"

All the ministers immediately knelt down and bowed their heads, trembling, not knowing where this Zhao Jiuheng offended Kangxi.

But Zhang Tingyu knew that Kangxi didn't want to listen to the news of the prince recently, and once he heard it, he would lose his mind.

In his later years, Kangxi became more suspicious and even moody...

Zhao Jiuheng yelled "injustice", but was dragged away.

Another banquet ended before it officially started.

That night, news came from someone from the capital that Kangxi summoned his confidants in the bedroom in the middle of the night. The secret meeting lasted until the second day, and Zhang Tingyu was on the list.

Gu Huaishu could vaguely smell the smell of blood, but he didn't know what the prince was doing there.

Strangely, Rehe at the end of June was surprisingly calm, and even in July, they set off for the Mulan paddock for autumn.

Maybe Zhang Ruoai was the only one who was really happy. He asked Kangxi for favors early on, and then learned the firecracker from Kangxi's valet. But he was able to talk to Zhang Tingyu, Zhang Tingyu promoted Tai Chi, and never said a word of truth.

Now all the princes are really interested, even the Fourteenth Master is involved.

Since the eighth master lost his power, the eighth master's party began to support the fourteenth master.

This point, Zhang Tingyu is very clear, just do not know.

Autumn in Mulan Paddock is coming soon.

Gu Huaixiu also waited quietly, when the leaves fell.

She got out of the tent, looked up, and saw pieces of withered yellow in the grass; and the yellow ones closest to the center?Outside the tent hall, Prince Yong stepped on a grasshopper and smiled: "This little thing is still jumping..."

Seeing Zhang Tingyu, he also smiled: "It won't be long before I jump."

Looking back, Yinzhen seemed to have just seen Zhang Tingyu, and said: "The emperor's Ama is telling Mr. Zhang."
