Prince of the Qing Dynasty

After the northern tour of autumn, Yinti got married and married the daughter of Keerkun, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, as the first wife.

At this time, he became Kangxi's first married prince elder brother. According to the rules of the Manchus, after marriage, he is an adult, because from now on, Yinti can accept Kangxi's assignment as an adult to run errands, and his younger brothers , and even the prince, can only study hard in the study, unable to run errands.

For a while, Yinti was in the limelight.Even Yinti himself feels complacent, and he believes that his own time has come.As long as Kangxi opens his mouth, he can go out on business in the palace, and going out on business in the palace means that he can make friends with ministers, and this is also the first step for him to gradually approach that position. After all, with the support of ministers, many things can be done easily. Much more convenient.

"Grandpa, please tell Huang Ama, send me an errand or something, I can handle it well. I'm married, and it's boring to be stuck in the study every day,"

Taking advantage of no one paying attention to him, Yinti pulled Mingzhu and said in a low voice, "I want to finish the errand well and let Huang Ama look at me with admiration! At that time, he will have to see me as the eldest son of the emperor! Such a situation Come on, can't I win you and my mother-in-law!"

Yinti has been holding a sigh of relief for the past two years. Mingzhu refused to let him do anything to the prince. He was obedient and did not do anything, but he was unhappy in his heart. He felt that Mingzhu underestimated him. Now that he has such an opportunity, he will I want to prove to Mingzhu and Kangxi that he is by no means inferior to a prince.

And since he is older than the prince, it will always be his advantage.

Mingzhu knows Yinti too well, as long as he sees Yinti's expression and hears Yinti's words, he will know what evil thoughts are going on in Yinti's mind.

Mingzhu couldn't help but lectured: "Brother, you don't know that the emperor attaches the most importance to the studies of princes and brothers! Even if I marry you, it's not yet time to send errands, you can't even be a Baylor." I haven't won the competition yet, but I'm thinking about going out on business. You're thinking too far! Is there a shortage of you in the emperor's place? There are so many people with excellent ability and steady work in the emperor's place, how can you be asked to go? According to me, big brother should calm down, don’t think about other things, just read the book well, and when the time comes, the emperor will naturally send you an errand, why rush it for a while?”

Seeing Yinti's expression of displeasure upon hearing this, and humming a few times, Mingzhu had no choice but to say again: "You want me to tell the emperor about sending you an errand, the emperor will most likely not agree, say Not only will you say that you are too ambitious and unsteady, but you will also say that I have been too close to you. Have you forgotten that the masters in the study were beaten because of you last time? The emperor blamed Zhang Ying and others for not teaching you well , beat them up hard, this time if you are still restless and insist on doing it, Zhang Ying and others may be beaten up by the emperor again, the reason is naturally that they did not treat you as a big Brother teach well!"

"Those old men, they beat me as soon as they beat them, what does it have to do with me! Anyway, Huang Ama doesn't know how to beat me!" Yinti said nonchalantly.

"You, you are really—" Mingzhu was so angry at the big brother's words, "You know how much effort I took to keep Zhang Ying and others beaten because of you. The influence has been suppressed? Just like this, people still say that your elder brother is ignorant and hurt them! Do you think it is a good thing for the prince's master to be beaten? Let me tell you, if the emperor beats your master, it is the same as beating you Your face is no different, your face is lost outside, and you say it has nothing to do with you?"

"Just because of this, the southern scribes in Hanchen have great opinions on you. Don't you think that these criticisms can't influence the emperor's mind? The emperor advocates sinology and treats the southern scribes extremely preferentially. You have fallen in their eyes Bad impression, who else will support you? What's more, there are many people in the court who have good friends with those people. If you have such a thing, who would want to make friends with you? After this incident, you are completely in the literati How can you compare to the crown prince who is extremely studious and inquisitive in the eyes of southern literati?"

Mingzhu was depressed, Concubine Hui was not stupid, and the emperor was even more gifted and intelligent. Why is the elder brother so stupid?I can't even figure out such a simple truth.

After hearing Mingzhu's words, Yinti couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. He muttered unwillingly: "Is it true that I will never be as good as the prince in my life? I don't want to do anything to the prince now. Do I even want to do something better than him?" Can’t even do it! ——Suo’etu obviously helped the prince so much, uncle and grandpa, but you still refuse to help me!”

Feeling wronged, Yinti couldn't help complaining to Mingzhu.

After hearing this, Mingzhu smiled slightly: "Who said I won't help you? If I don't help you, can I remind you again and again? Brother, you are just too anxious. The most important thing is that you have to hold your breath first. You always want to do something to the prince. This way is wrong. The emperor protects the prince so much, how can you move him? You have to use your brain and try another way. For example, start with the people around the prince."

"Start with the people around the prince? Who?"

Yinti glanced at Mingzhu, heard the meaning of Mingzhu's words, and asked tentatively, "Grandpa, do you have an idea?"

Mingzhu smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "At the beginning, it was the idea of ​​those Han officials and literati who wanted the emperor to appoint a prince. We Manchus have never had such rules. The emperor listened to their words and established the empress of benevolence and filial piety. The eldest son is the crown prince. At that time, the crown prince was only two years old. Think about it, how many people are dissatisfied with this! We Manchus have always chosen talents to stand up, and we have never said that the crown prince can be established by virtue of the eldest son of the queen of the middle palace. What's more, the emperor appointed the crown prince when he was in his prime. This is out of harmony with reason. We are Manchus, so other things are fine. Why do we have to follow the example of the Han people in this matter? Besides, I see that the crown prince has I am very close to Tang Bin and other Han officials, and I even admire sinology more than the emperor. I have a lot of worries in my heart, and I have a grudge against Suo'etu. We have been fighting for so many years, and Suo'etu is so protective Prince, I will make the prince unhappy, and I will be happy!"

Hearing what Mingzhu said, Yinti felt relieved: "Okay! You speak very well! Tell me, how do you want to make the prince unhappy? Just tell me what you want to do, and I will do it for you! "

If it weren't for the consideration of elder brother's dignity, he would have almost cried with joy, and grandpa and uncle are finally willing to help him out!

"Brother, I just said that you are required to study in peace and quiet, and you are not required to participate in other things. Why did you forget? I have been planning this matter for several years. I tell you, it is to You don't mean to increase your confidence by asking you to do it, besides, you won't be able to do it," Mingzhu said. There will be losses, and even Suoetu can't turn the situation around. In this matter, I can not only avenge my personal revenge, but also win Suoetu in business. Most importantly, I can also help you out. Take your breath away. Once this incident happens, the prince will definitely be affected, you should take advantage of this time to study more, so that the emperor will look at you with admiration!"

The big brother Mingzhu said was full of emotion, he hurriedly asked: "Grandpa, can you tell me what you plan to do?"

But Mingzhu smiled: "I'll talk to you later when the matter is over. I'm afraid you'll let me know what I'm talking about now. I've been planning this for several years, so I can't delay it with you! Besides, today is the You're married, it's hard to say too much about these harmful things."

Mingzhu pretended to be a fool and refused to say anything, and Yinti couldn't continue to ask, but his mood was so high that the crown prince was going to be unlucky, so he was happy thinking about it!

After Mingzhu waited for Yinti to get married, he went back to his mansion, and only after the night was quiet did he meet Keer Kun and Yu Guozhu, two ministers of the household department.

These two people are his confidantes, Kor Kun is a Manchu, and Yu Guozhu is a Han.

"Mingxiang, you summoned the officials to come here, so you must have something to tell the officials?" Yu Guozhu was able to rise all the way by flattering Mingzhu, and now he has achieved the position of Han Shangshu in the Ministry of Households. Therefore, he treats Mingzhu more It was a matter of flattery to the utmost, just to cling to the thigh of the gold master in the court, in order to get more benefits.

The eldest son of Mingzhu had just passed away, and all the clothes in the house had not been dismantled, and he himself was dressed in plain clothes. When he saw Kerkun and Yu Guozhu coming to watch the tea, he looked at them with a slight smile and said, "I invite you two Shangshu came here, he really has something to say. But it is easy to say, the prince has been studying in the Maoqin Palace for four years, Tang Bin has been the prince's teacher for four years, and now Dahata is also in the official rank Minister of the Ministry, Tang Bin is also an errand in the Imperial Academy, which can be said to be very popular, I want to ask you, the people here must have a lot of complaints against them, right?"

Before Kerkun and Yu Guozhu could speak, Mingzhu laughed again: "I heard that Tang Bin offended many people when he was the governor of Jiangning? It's time to tell the emperor that those who can't get a copy should also join others to make a joint report. In the censor's department, those who should be impeached should be impeached. You can't be timid just because Tang Bin is the prince's teacher, otherwise, The prince learns from such a person, what can he learn? The emperor is busy with many things, he can't worry about these things, and he doesn't know the situation below. We should think for the emperor. This is also loyal to the emperor. You say is not it?"

Ke Kun and Yu Guozhu said yes again and again, Yu Guozhu rolled his eyes, and asked with a flattering smile: "Minister Ming, I have the courage to ask you, how did it take four years for you to make Tang Bin the prince's teacher? Your Excellency Remember, Tang Bin offended you, if you had done this a few years ago, wouldn't he have been kicked out a long time ago?"
