Prince of the Qing Dynasty

In November, when Kangxi visited Beijing in the south, Yinfeng led his ministers to greet him in front of the Nanhong Gate of Nanyuan.

Kangxi saw Yinreng who hadn't seen him for two months, and was very happy to see that his son had grown a lot taller. He walked up and held Yinreng's hand, and asked with a smile: "I see that the prince is all right, the palace Is Rico all right?"

Yinfeng smiled and replied: "Go back to Huang Ama, everything in the palace is safe, Huang Ama can rest assured."

Kangxi nodded with a smile, pointed at the four ministers around him, and said to Yinfeng with deep meaning: "This is the Jiangning and Hangzhou Ermanchu generals who sent me back to Beijing, this is Shi Wenbing, the deputy governor, and this is Dong Yuanqing, the leader of the Jingkou Association .On this journey, I only ordered him four escorts to Beijing."

After Kangxi finished speaking, he smiled at the four of them and said, "Have you seen the crown prince?"

The four hurriedly bowed to Yinreng, Yinreng accepted it with a smile, but his eyes stayed on Shi Wenbing, the vice governor. He knew that in history, the father of the crown prince was the smiling middle-aged uncle in front of him.

It is a great honor to be escorted back to Luan. Kangxi did not give it to others, but asked Shi Wenbing to escort him back to Luan. It can be seen that he valued Shi Wenbing very much.What's more, Yinreng didn't miss the meaningful look in Kangxi's eyes when he introduced Shi Wenbing to him just now. Yinreng thought silently, could it be that during the first southern tour, Kangxi had already favored Shi Wenbing's daughter, Shi Shi? Yet?

The doubts in Yinreng's heart were quickly answered. When Kangxi went to rest in the house, he saw that there was no outsider in front of him, so he asked Yinreng with a smile, "What do you think of Shi Wenbing?"

Yinfeng thought for a while and replied, "My son seems to be doing well."

After Kangxi heard this, he said with a smile: "Three generations of Guerjia's ancestors served as military officers of the Eight Banners, and they have a good reputation. His ancestors fought in the north and south, made outstanding military achievements, or guarded places. Originally from Manchuria, it was the Guerjia family of Su Wan. His family served as the commander of the left guard of Jianzhou in the Ming Dynasty for several generations. Shi Han, the great ancestor of his family, moved to Liaodong. His name had a stone character, so he took Shi as his family. During the Tianming period of this dynasty, His three brothers followed his father's last wish and greeted the surrender with the city. Shi Tingzhu was awarded the post of guerrilla fighter and ordered to walk in the Wenguan. Later, he was attached to the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army. Those who made military exploits. Let me tell you, his family is a prominent family, so it is naturally excellent."

After Kangxi's popularization of science, he looked at Yinfeng's conversation and asked with a smile, "Have you finished that important event of yours?"

Of course Yinfeng knew what Kangxi was asking about, and it was the thing that Kangxi was still thinking about before he left, so he immediately replied: "Go back to Huang Ama, it's over."

Kangxi was satisfied as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good."

In this way, he will let go of this worry.

"Shi Wenbing will go back to Hangzhou in two days, and I will go back to the palace the next day, so you can stay here in Nanyuan for two more days, and see him and talk to him when you have time, so that he can take a look, the emperor What kind of character is the prince?"

Kangxi said, "His family members are all in office. After he returns, he will also ask him to describe to them conveniently what the Crown Prince looks like."

"Yes, Huang Ama," Yinfeng replied, although he guessed what was going on in his heart, he still wanted to ask clearly, "Ama told me that the Shi family is famous, and that he wanted his son to meet him." Shi Wenbing, my son wants to know, should Ama tell him to be kind to him, or to make friends with him? My son can figure it out, and I can't ruin Ama's arrangement because of my son's ignorance."

Kangxi glanced at Yinfeng with a smile, and said: "Even if you don't ask, I will tell you. I have no intention of keeping this matter from you."

"After choosing two side Fujin for you two years ago, I have been thinking about choosing a princess with a good background and good appearance for you. I have been thinking about this matter two years ago. The southern tour is here. In Hangzhou, I met Shi Wenbing, and I had to escort him back along the way. I talked to him from time to time, and I also knew about his parents and daughters. Both temperaments are excellent, just to suit you,"

Kangxi said, "I also let Shi Wenbing know what I mean. I gave him a wishful handle, which can be regarded as the appointment of the eldest daughter of his family. I want him to come back to Beijing with me, and I have saved it for him to see." Look at you, and I want you to get in touch with him."

In front of me is the Crown Princess, and when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, the Crown Princess will naturally be the Empress.Therefore, when Kangxi chose the crown princess for Yinreng, he was actually choosing a queen who would be able to mother the world in the future.

It is precisely because of this that Kangxi was thinking about this issue very early, and after two full years of thinking, he settled on Shi Wenbing's daughter.

Shi Wenbing belongs to the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army, but he is not a Han. His family is originally from Manchuria. In this way, his daughter canonized as a princess can not only win over the Han people to unite the Han Army Banner, but also not break the ancestral rules. Being Manchurian, it's the best of both worlds.

Furthermore, the two queens in front of him are both from the two yellow flags, but because of the Oboi encroachment incident, the two yellow flags and the white flag had a very unpleasant quarrel, and there was a lot of enmity between them. Choosing a queen with the white flag is also a balance The relationship between the three flags is also something that can be achieved in one fell swoop.

Sure enough, he was preparing to choose a crown princess for him, Yinreng was silent, and then heard Kangxi say again: "It's just that you are still young, and the two side Fujin have not yet entered the door. Don't be in a hurry, the most important thing for you now is your studies. What I mean is to wait a few more years. Shi Wenbing also wants to keep his daughter for a few more years, and I agree. But, I don't know if you will listen to me. arrange?"

Yinfeng wished to marry a wife later, but he was still too young now. He remembered that the crown princes in history did not get married until they were [-] years old. No matter what the reason was, he thought it was reasonable.

"My son has no objection, so I naturally listened to Ama's arrangement," Yinfeng said, "Actually, my son also thinks that in the past few years, he should focus on his studies."

Kangxi smiled, and then sighed: "Actually, I have another layer of worries. I am still strong and can protect you, so you don't have to get married too early. You are no better than I was when I was married earlier. It was also for the sake of being in charge, so I got married when I was less than 13 years old, and married your mother-in-law to be the queen. Thinking about it now, I was still too young at that time. Sometimes I think that your mother-in-law passed away early, It may not be due to the fact that you gave birth too early when you were young and lost your health. I don't want you to repeat the same mistakes, so I simply postponed your wedding for a few years, and wait until you and the Shi family are both grown up before getting married. At that time, she will also be able to bear children for you, so I am afraid she will not leave you early like your mother-in-law."

Yinfeng didn't expect Kangxi to take this into consideration, and couldn't help giving Kangxi a thumbs up in his heart. If he were to marry with a thirteen or fourteen-year-old body, he felt that he would really be unable to bear it.Fortunately, Kangxi had concerns and postponed his wedding for several years.

"Ama is very considerate, and my son just listens to Ama's arrangements."

"It's just that, in this way, Shi Shi doesn't have to participate in the draft. Although I have chosen a good future for her, it also prevents her from meeting you. It will be several years before she enters the palace, but there is no one around you." Cutting off people to serve, in this way, it is a bit unfair to her, "

Kangxi smiled and said, "She will also be your princess in the future, and I can't ignore her feelings. Therefore, I have discussed with Shi Wenbing. In the past few years, you two can write letters and talk to each other. I don't limit you. You guys, I will send someone to deliver a letter to Shi Shi in Hangzhou, so that you can get to know each other, and you won’t be too unfamiliar in the future. Shi Wenbing will also tell his eldest daughter about this meaning."

Kangxi thought so thoroughly and put forward such a humane suggestion, what else could Yinreng say?Naturally, he had nothing else to say, and immediately nodded in agreement.

In fact, meeting Shi Wenbing was quite embarrassing.The meeting between the son-in-law and his father-in-law should have been the son-in-law's nervousness, but Yinreng didn't do much, but Shi Wenbing was a little nervous. Yinreng couldn't help laughing, but he thought in his heart, after all, he was suppressed by the status of a crown prince, otherwise If so, he should be nervous.

Yinfeng smiled, and said a few words to Shi Wenbing without being arrogant, and gradually, being infected by his warm smile, Shi Wenbing became less nervous.

Before leaving, Shi Wenbing hesitated for a long time, but still asked what he wanted to ask: "Prince, will you write a letter to my little girl?"

Although the emperor told him this, he was afraid that the emperor was just talking casually, and he was also afraid that the crown prince would not bother to write letters to his daughter. In this way, even if his daughter was to be named crown princess in the future, she would still be the crown prince. The woman who was the last to contact, when the time comes, how can he beat all the women around the crown prince?

In Shi Wenbing's heart, he could not help but worry about his daughter's future.It's not good to get married early, and it's not good to get married later, but the emperor Jinkou Yuyan said that the wedding should be postponed for a few years. Looking at it like this, it is estimated that the wedding can only be done after the daughter is 16 years old. What if the crown prince forgot his daughter in a few years?

Shi Wenbing was also conflicted in his heart, but he also knew that the emperor's decision took into account everything, so what he was worried about was the crown prince, as long as the crown prince was willing to follow the emperor's orders, then he would have nothing to worry about up.The only thing he worries about now is that the crown prince refuses to do it.

Yinfeng had already seen the worry in Shi Wenbing's eyes, and said with a slight smile: "Deputy Shi is assured, since I have accepted Huang Ama, I will naturally do it. When I have time, I will write to my daughter. "

"Thank you, sir!"

Shi Wenbing took a reassurance, and now he is really relieved.He felt that he could go back to Hangzhou in a down-to-earth manner, tell his daughter all these things, and then tell her to wait for the prince's letter with peace of mind.
