Prince of the Qing Dynasty

"When I was trapped in Tongzhou, I wanted to ride back to the palace overnight. Some of the guards advised me not to do this, saying it was too risky. I thought what he said made sense, so I waited in Tongzhou for two or three days before leaving. , riding on horseback during the day, looking for a place to camp at night, "

After Yinti left, Kangxi took off his shoes, leaned casually on the couch, and while holding a Chinese ink pen to encircle Yinfeng's well-written characters, he said, "Originally, I would come back two days early, but I will check on the way. After checking the earthquake situation in several places, I came back later."

After Kangxi circled the words, he returned the copybooks to Yinreng, and Yinreng handed the copybooks to Saoqin and asked her to take them back. Then he also took off his shoes, got on the couch, knelt down beside Kangxi, and gently He rubbed his legs: "Ama has worked hard."

Kangxi stopped Yinfeng from doing such a thing, so he called a court lady to rub his legs, and then he turned his head and looked at Yinfeng carefully, before he smiled and said, "I'm not tired. I feel much more at ease. The Empress Dowager is still in Chicheng, and I didn’t dare to let the Empress Dowager and Concubine Tong come back, but the Empress Dowager is worried about you, so I sent someone to send a letter of safety as soon as I came back, thinking that she and Concubine Tong You should be at ease too."

After Kangxi said this, he asked Yinreng: "Where did you read the doctrine of the mean?"

Yinreng was still thinking about Xiaozhuang and Concubine Tong's stay in Chicheng. Hearing Kangxi's question, he calmed down and replied: "Huhuang Ama, I have finished reading the Doctrine of the Mean, and my son has read the Analects of Confucius Yanghuo now."

"Do you understand the meaning of the text?" Kangxi saw Yinfeng shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not enough to just read, you have to know the meaning. How about this, I will tell you when I have time in a few days. What I mean, are you You have to read the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly before leaving the pavilion to study."

Yinfeng replied politely: "Yes."

"Without my permission, you dared to drag the empress dowager and elder brother out of the palace, you are really brave enough,"

The court lady who rubbed Kangxi's legs had a good grasp of strength. He felt that the soreness on his legs had eased, and he leaned on the couch and opened his mouth casually. Although Kangxi said this, there was no trace of anger on his face. With a slight smile in his laziness, he asked Yinfeng, "If one side is in trouble, all sides will support it. Did you say that?"

Yinfeng thought for a while and replied, "It's sort of."

"What do you mean? I've never heard these words before, but they came here from you. Whoever said it wasn't what you said? But it's a good thing to say,"

Kangxi looked at Yinfeng and said, "You want to donate money and things in the palace. This idea is your idea. Why do you let elder brother supervise it, concubine Hui and others jointly undertake it? My prince, don't you even do this? No?"

Kangxi still asked after all, Yinreng calmed down, and then answered with lowered eyes: "My son is weak, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to do it—"

"I don't like to hear what you say, so don't say it again in the future!"

When Kangxi heard Yinreng say that the four words "powerless and weak" really touched his heart, he immediately interrupted Yinreng's words, "I told you a long time ago that your mother-in-law died young, but you still have me! I am yours." Huang Ama, you are the crown prince whom I personally proclaim to heaven and earth, whoever dares to bully you, I will support you!"

"Yes, what Ama taught me is that my son stopped talking."

It has been five or six years since he traveled through Chengyinfeng, but he always forgets about it.He always felt that he was alone here. Although he lived in the Qing Dynasty well-behaved, he felt that it was difficult for him to blend in, but even if he forced himself to blend in, the loneliness in his soul could not be forgotten. obliterated.

When Kangxi interrupted, Yinfeng didn't dare to continue, fearing that he would anger Kangxi if he continued, and seeing Kangxi made a gesture to ask him to continue, he stopped talking and continued talking about what he hadn't finished. thing.

"——The son took his eldest brother out of the palace, just to let the eldest brother take a look at those suffering people, and hope that the eldest brother will follow his son to do it together. The son came up with an idea and told the eldest brother that he hoped to join hands with the elder brother and proposed to donate money to the harem." Donate to the victims, but the eldest brother said it was inappropriate, saying that it was against the rules for the joint name of the son to be with him, I am afraid that no one would be able to answer our request. The eldest brother said that it should be the concubine who initiated the joint name and he came to supervise it, so it would be appropriate."

"Then you answered him?"

When Kangxi heard this, he was extremely displeased. The empress and concubine jointly proposed, and Yinti came to supervise it, but Yinti had a good plan!

Concubine Tong went with him to escape the summer heat. According to the rules, Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Rong were allowed to stay in the palace to assist in palace affairs.But Concubine Yi is five months pregnant, and Concubine Rong has to take care of Yinzhi, they are too busy to get away, isn't Concubine Hui in charge of palace affairs?When Yinti said this, it was obvious that he wanted Concubine Hui to discuss this matter!

When Kangxi thought of this episode, he felt resentful in his heart: "How dare he blatantly steal your idea? Did you say something to him?"

Yinfeng replied honestly: "My son said that this time all donations in the harem need to be registered in a book. When Huang Ama comes back, this book is for Huang Ama to read. Huang Ama If you are happy, maybe you will be rewarded according to the head count in the booklet."

"If you tell him like this, it's no wonder he steals your idea!"

Kangxi snorted coldly, "Reward for merit! He doesn't want to help the victims, he clearly wants this credit!"

Kangxi put people around Yinreng so that he could grasp the whereabouts of the crown prince. He did this not to monitor Yinreng, but to protect him.Although Yinreng is smart, he is still young. He is worried that Yinreng will not be able to protect himself in the palace, and this is also to prevent others from assassinating the crown prince.In fact, it's not just around Yinfeng, there is nothing in the harem that he can't know as long as it's something he wants to know.

Therefore, even if he is out of Beijing, he still knows what happened in the palace during this period.Especially the ins and outs of the silver donation in the palace, Kangxi knew all about it.It is precisely because he knows clearly that he asks Yinfeng such a question.

Before asking, Kangxi did not have an answer in his mind.But when he heard that Yinrong's answer was exactly the same as what he thought, Kangxi became furious.

Hesheli died young, Yinreng did not have a mother, no one in the harem to support him, and he has no foundation in the harem.But he is the eldest son, the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty, with a super-noble status, and Yinti is his eldest brother, how could he be bullied like this!

Yinti is hateful, and concubine Hui is not a good person either.Kangxi gritted his teeth and thought, Yinti snatched Yinrong's idea because he was greedy for merit, but concubine Hui has been by his side all these years, can't he not see his love for the prince?Even if the prince has nothing to rely on in the harem, if he wants to do this, I will definitely support him, so how could he not be able to do it!

Concubine Hui couldn't have thought of this, it was nothing more than the two words Yinfeng said about registering the book and rewarding meritorious deeds, which moved Concubine Hui's heart, and Concubine Hui also wanted to be greedy for merit, so she refused to let go. Son, take the credit of Yinrong and take it as your own!It was nothing more than bullying his young and benevolent prince!For this little credit, Concubine Hui doesn't even look down on Concubine Tong Gui!

hateful!Damn it!

Yinfeng glanced at Kangxi and saw that Kangxi was full of anger. He didn't persuade Kangxi to calm down, nor did he speak for Yinti, but said softly: "I don't blame elder brother for thinking so. My son said this. If my son doesn't say that, don't It’s just that big brother, probably not many people in the palace are willing to listen to his son’s words and donate money and things voluntarily.”

"You, you underestimate yourself too much! You are the crown prince, my favorite son. If you say a word, who would dare not obey?"

Kangxi looked at Yinreng angrily, and saw Yinreng's downcast face, and felt distressed in his heart. He was not angry at Yinreng, and he was reluctant to blame Yinreng, so he put his heart His breath slowed down, and he waved his hand again to make the little maid who was beating his legs back down, and then said with a half-smile, "Look, you can't get any money, didn't Suo'etu and the empress dowager both help you 100 yuan?" Two taels of silver? You are quite thoughtful, knowing that the silver is listed in the names of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Tong, and I heard that you gave Yinzhen ten taels, why don't you keep some for yourself? "

"Huhuang Ama, this money does not belong to my son, and my son is not good at taking it. My son was also conflicted at the time, not knowing whether he should take the money, but he knew that it could not be returned. My son does not want to make a name for himself, as long as the money can be delivered If it is in the hands of the people, the son will be happy."

Yinfeng paused for a moment, then said softly, "The son wanted this silver, originally he planned to add it to the name of the empress dowager and the imperial concubine. The son thought that he didn't have money, so he shouldn't write his name. What's more-" —”

Yinfeng pursed his lips and smiled, "What's more, the empress dowager and the imperial concubine are not in Beijing. It is written under the names of the empress dowager and the imperial concubine. Everyone who understands knows that it is the son. This is also a little selfishness of the son."

Yinfeng knew that what Kangxi said was right, he was the crown prince, if he wanted to accomplish this, he didn't need to worry so much about planning, but he didn't want to use power to suppress others, and he didn't want to rely on Kangxi's favor to do his best. He can only operate step by step, luring others to do it for him.

What's more, he is now Kangxi's most beloved son. That's right. If one day, Kangxi turns against his father and son, these things of acting recklessly and oppressing others under the favor will all become charges against him. He's pulled into hell.

Isn't that how the historical crown prince was abolished?

He understands very well that he must not lose himself because of power, he must stay awake at all times, and from now on, he must abide by his duty as the prince.

However, although he was wary of Kangxi, he also knew that Kangxi had no bad intentions towards him. He was willing to reveal some of his thoughts to Kangxi because he knew that his little thoughts might be able to hide it from Yinti. But he can't hide it from Kangxi.It's better to show some to Kangxi, maybe Kangxi doesn't care, so he won't get into his plan.

"You are clever, and you know how to be so respectable! Now, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Tong owe you favors!"

Seeing what Yinreng said, Kangxi really laughed. He didn't care about Yinreng's thoughts at all, but sighed in his heart that Yinreng was really a kind and filial boy. He felt that Yinreng's actions won his heart deeply, so he started Wanting to reward him, he said with a smile, "You did a good job this time. The Empress Dowager and Concubine Tong should have been added to this booklet, so it is in line with the rules. Let me think about it, what should I reward you for?"

Kangxi thought for a while, and without waiting for Yinreng to speak, he smiled again: "I thought about it, Yinreng, after you leave the cabinet to give lectures, I will transfer your uncle Ling Pu to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and promote him to be the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In this way, the internal treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will also be convenient for you to withdraw at will, and if you want to use silver in the future, you can just use my silver, and you don’t have to worry about whether you should take the silver sent by someone else.”

Aren't they bullying that Yinfeng is young and has no money?He just wants to support Yinrong and give him wealth and dignity!
