I am Aixinjueluo Hongmin, the fourth son of Emperor Taichang of Emperor Zhaozong of Qing Dynasty, and the younger brother of Emperor Duanhe of Emperor Shengzong of Qing Dynasty.

When I was born, my elder brother Hongkun Zhuyu was in front of me, along with two other older brothers and one older sister.Therefore, although I am the son of the Eastern Palace, I have not received much attention.

As I grew up, I gradually discovered that although Ama did not ignore me to the point of indifference, I couldn't compare with my eldest brother, even my third sister.Even the fifth younger brother lost his voice due to a serious illness, and was even more favored by Ama Erniang.He was the only one who received the least attention in Yuqing Palace, like a superfluous person.

At that time, I was envious or even jealous of my elder brother, third sister, and even my fifth younger brother. I began to study hard and improve myself crazily. I only hoped that Ama and Erniang would pay more attention to me, but the result was in vain.So I started to give up on myself, no longer pestered my second brother to read and write, but played with the little eunuchs every day until late at night.

My eldest brother seems to have noticed my changes. Every time he is free, he will come to accompany me to study, teach me how to read, and keep telling me in my ears that in the hearts of Ama and Erniang, my eldest brother and third sister , Fifth brother is equally important.

At that time, I was only five years old and didn't believe what my elder brother said. I cried and threw myself into my elder brother's arms and said: "Elder brother is a liar."

In order to let me know that what he said was true, my elder brother took me to Er Niang's yard.I went in and told my mother, I twisted my foot.I hid at the door and saw Erniang panicked, and finally let go of the burden in my heart.

Although Er Niang later saw that I was fine, she reprimanded her elder brother slightly, saying that he made a fuss and made her worry.The eldest brother just admitted his mistake with a light smile, as if he didn't care about Er Niang's scolding, and when Er Niang was not paying attention, he smiled and glanced at me, as if saying that you believe me now...

The elder brother's actions this time may be a little absurd, but it doesn't seem abrupt to a seven-year-old child.Besides, when I was young at the time, I only believed in seeing is believing.If I hadn't witnessed Er Niang's anxious scene with my own eyes, I don't know how long I would let myself go.

When I was six years old, on the day I officially entered the Shangshufang to study, an imperial decree came from the previous dynasty.My elder brother was named the grandson of the emperor.

Five years later, I was 11 and my eldest brother was 13.This year, Prince Zhi's rebellion forced the palace to paralyze Huang Mafa, Ama ascended the throne ahead of schedule, and the elder brother became the prince.

The position of prince has always been the dream position of all sons and phoenixes, but I always feel that it is precisely this position of prince that restrains the elder brother, and it is also the position of the prince that deprives the elder brother of his original healthy body.

Huang Ama has been in power for 12 years, and the elder brother has also been the prince for 12 years. In the past 12 years, the eldest brother promoted science and education and rejected stereotyped writing.Rectify the military appearance of the Qing Dynasty, and suspend the atmosphere of the court.

From the emperor Mafa to the young children in the fields, when it comes to the prince, they all praise him.

And I, slowly became the right-hand man of the elder brother.

In September of the 12th year of Taichang, Hongli's visit broke my originally fulfilling and peaceful life.

Hongli told me about my elder brother and Hongzhou. I was shocked, but I didn't fully believe it.

But in October, when I was examining Jue'er's homework at the school, I found that most of what my elder brother handed over to Jue'er was the way of employing people and the art of governing the country.

Only then did I realize that what Hongli said was true.The suspicion was confirmed, followed by anger towards Hong Zhou and worry about his elder brother.There is even a trace of jealousy towards Hong Zhou.Jealous of Hong Zhou being able to get the wholehearted love of his elder brother...

For the next whole month, I was debating whether to tell Huang Ama about this quietly every day.If I don't say it, I'm afraid that this matter will be exposed by others in the court. At that time, the elder brother will really be finished, and Huang Ama can't do anything even if he wants to protect the elder brother.

But if I say so, although Huang Ama won't do anything to my elder brother, I'm afraid that my elder brother will mistakenly think that I want to seize the heir, and will turn against me from then on.

I finally said it.What followed was that Hong Zhou was gifted to death by Huang Ama.I thought that if Hong Zhou died, elder brother would be fine.But I didn't expect that my eldest brother would suffer from a serious illness and almost died. Although he saved his life in the end, his body would never return to the way it was before.

For this matter, I feel ashamed in my heart, I think, I will never forgive myself in this life...

Then the eldest brother ascended the throne, and despite the obstruction of the ministers, he insisted on setting the year name Duanhe.Maybe ministers and common people don't understand the meaning of this year name, but I do.Duan is the eldest brother's original title, and He Zi is Hong Zhou's title...

Within three years, Da Qing almost changed his appearance, but exhausted his energy.However, fortunately, his life was saved in the end.

Since the eldest brother could no longer take care of state affairs, he took the initiative to ask for feigned death to leave the palace, and Huang Ama agreed.Then, I ascended the throne.I didn't ask the minister to draw up my year name, but I decided it myself, and it was called Chengduan.

Cheng Duan, inheriting the ambition of the eldest brother, and continue to implement the New Deal that was not completed when the eldest brother was in power.Jue Er, who has been taught by her elder brother for many years, was appointed as the new Prince Xiangdi...

The first thing I did after I ascended the throne was to send Hongli to the northwestern frontier.I know that when Hongli informed him that time, he just wanted to defeat the eldest brother, the prince, and help me to the top, so that he could get the merit of being a dragon.Although I know that I was the one who made the final decision on that matter, I still don't want to see him again...

On the day my elder brother left the capital, Huang Ama, me, my fifth brother, and Zhuobola Kuyierha all went.Because the eldest brother's body has not fully recovered, he left in a carriage.

The moment my elder brother got into the carriage, I ran over and hugged him, blocked Huang Ama's sight with my body, and handed him a letter.

It was a letter of apology, or a letter of explanation.Back then when Eldest Brother accompanied Hong Zhou to the clan mansion, he took a meaningful look at me. At that time, I knew that Elder Brother already knew that it was I who had sent someone to inform me.

But in the following three years, my eldest brother never blamed me for this incident, as if it never happened.I don't know if my elder brother forgave me, or was disappointed with my betrayal, and simply didn't want to talk to me.

The more my elder brother is like this, the more uneasy I feel.I really want to tell him personally that I didn't betray him, and I didn't inform him for that position or to harm him.I'm just afraid that something will happen to him.

But after all, I still didn't have the courage to explain to him face to face, so I could only write what I wanted to say in a letter and hand it to him when he left.

Three days later, I received a reply from my eldest brother.The letter said that he never blamed me in the first place, because he knew that I did it out of good intentions.Because if I want to harm him, I can expose it in court instead of telling Huang Ama quietly...

Looking down at the reply letter, I found out that the little Lingzi next to my elder brother is actually a member of Huang Mafa, and Xiao Lingzi has in his hand a legacy left by Huang Mafa: the will to protect Hongzhou's life.It was this edict that saved Hong Zhou back then.It also indirectly gave the eldest brother the desire to survive, and finally survived.

The eldest brother said, since everything is as before, I don't have to worry about it.Looking at my eldest brother's tall and handsome handwriting, I finally felt relieved...

Then, during the month that my elder brother had just left Beijing, the thoughts in my heart grew so crazy that it was almost crazy.

So, more than two years later, I held the last draft of the Qing Dynasty.In that draft, I selected a total of seven girls.Each of them has a place, or nose, or eyes, or eyebrows, which resembles their big brother.

Less than half a year after finishing this draft, I ordered the abolition of the draft system.And after discussing with the National People's Congress and Prince Xiangdi, the male concubine system was abolished.And monogamy was officially included in the law of the Qing Dynasty.

Not long after, my hidden mansion, Fu Jin, and now Jia Yuanchun, Jia Guiren, seemed to have seen my intentions, and I did not know where to inquire about my elder brother's behavior and style, and imitated it every day.A few months later, dangling in front of me, I really looked alike, but these behaviors on a woman who is used to being weak made me feel a bit nondescript.

But in my heart, I still want to see those behaviors that Jia Yuanchun imitated, even if it is just a substitute.So, the number of times I went to her palace gradually increased.Before long, she was happy.

I have never been very close to women. In the backyard before ascension to the throne, there were only five women including Fujin, and only three sons and two daughters after three years of enthronement.The second son, Yongxuan, was also adopted.So for this child, I am still looking forward to it.When I heard the news, I promoted her to be a concubine at the beginning, and I added the title: Xiande.

But who would have thought that in the fifth month of Jia Yuanchun's pregnancy, he actually attacked the queen's youngest son, the six-year-old third elder brother Yongxun.It was not drugs, but large doses of sleeping pills.

Fortunately, it was discovered early and the medicine was induced to vomit out, so nothing serious happened.

Seeing Jun'er's comatose state, I was so angry that I wanted to step forward and kick her to death, but in the end I restrained myself and only let the guards drag Jia back to her palace and ground her.At the same time, in the court, on the grounds that Jia Wang, the mother of the concubine Xiande, released usury money, she was arrested and imprisoned, and sentenced to be executed after autumn.

Three months later, Jia Shi gave birth to a daughter prematurely, and I ordered her to be consecrated to death in the delivery room, declaring to the public that Concubine Xiande died of dystocia.The decree Xiande concubine murdered the third elder brother, for the sake of the third princess, not to take the concubine's position and title.But there is no posthumous title, no sacrifice, no god tablet, and no entry into the imperial tomb.

After this incident, I no longer pamper the concubines in the harem, at most I play chess and talk with them.The days went on so plainly.

In this way, the 26th year of Chengduan arrived in the blink of an eye-this is the No.20 six years since I ascended the throne:

One morning this summer, I got up and went to court as usual.After coming down to court, Yongjue and the new Prince Xiangdi were called to discuss matters in the Imperial Study Room. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door, which seemed to be the voice of a younger sister.

I frowned, my little girl is now the vice president of Gewuyuan, shouldn't she be in Gewuyuan now?Why did you come to the Royal Study Room?

I announced my little sister to come in, but I saw that her eyes were swollen like walnuts, obviously she had cried a lot.Hong Hui and Hong Yan, who came in after the little girl, also had red eyes.

Seeing the appearance of the three of them, my heart skipped a beat.Huang Ama had died of illness three years ago, and besides Huang Ama, the only one worthy of them is... the elder brother.Could it be that something happened to the elder brother? !

Then the younger sister's words verified my guess, saying: "Brother died of illness...", I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cellar, and my mind went blank for an instant.

Big brother... died... and really left this world completely...

I asked with difficulty: "When...when?"

Zhuobola Kuyerha wept and said: "Yu'er called and said that it was... this morning... that elder brother and brother Zhou left together... Brother Zhou's suicide note said that he would live and die with elder brother outer coffin……"

"Life in the same quilt and death in the same coffin..." I repeated dumbly.Suddenly, he laughed like a maniac: "Life with the same quilt and death with the same coffin? What a life and death with the same quilt! No wonder big brother was willing to do that for you! I am convinced!"

"Fourth...fourth brother, are you okay..." Zhuo Bo La Ku Yierha immediately looked over nervously and asked.

The eldest brother just left, don't let the fourth brother go crazy again...

"I...it's fine." I quickly concealed my emotions, raised my hand to wipe away the suspicious eyes, looked at Yong Jue and Prince Xiang and said tremblingly: "I want to patrol Yangzhou, the capital is..."

The elder brother is dead, although I can't see him for the last time, but at least I have to go to see him for the last time...

"Brother Huang, Yu'er said that the eldest brother gave special instructions before he died, and he just wanted to go quietly. So Yu'er was told not to set up a mourning hall, not to entertain guests, and not to erect a tombstone. Just bury him next to Huang Ama's mausoleum ..., and said that no one was allowed to go to worship, and Yu'er was not even allowed to inform me. Perhaps Yu'er called me because she was afraid that they would leave too lonely..."

Because Hongkun never talked about things in the palace with Ning Qianyu, and he never returned to the capital in the 26 years since he left Beijing, so Ning Qianyu didn't know Hongkun's previous identity.Except for Zhuobola Kuyierha who went to Ningfu when he ran away from home, he didn't even know that Hongkun had any old friends.Therefore, the call was only made to Zhuobola Kuyirha...

Hong Min was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "That's all..."

Brother, I will listen to what you say.You said you want to go quietly, then I won't bother you...

In the days that followed, I devoted all my energy to court affairs, just like my elder brother did back then.

In the next ten years, the development of the Qing Dynasty became more rapid, especially in technology and education.As my elder brother said back then, technology is indeed the primary productive force.

The education system has been continuously improved, and the school has been continuously expanded, and the imperial court has paid huge costs to train excellent teachers.The gap in education levels between urban and rural areas has been narrowing.I made a strict decree that all children, male and female, must be educated.And said: This is their right and obligation.

At that time, it was Crown Princess Hesheli, who had developed bombs and hydrogen bombs in Chengduan for 30 years.

Countries all over the world requested to sign a peace agreement with the Qing Dynasty. My answer is: in exchange for energy and other benefits.

My elder brother said that the world must be divided for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time.Separation and reunion is the law, and it will never be static.No matter how strong the Qing Dynasty is, what if it grabs the territory of other countries?

Besides, the new continent and the original land of the Qing Dynasty are already big enough.There is no need to waste people and money to wage wars.

So, when countries agreed to exchange energy and benefits, I signed a peace agreement.

In the 36th year of Chengduan, the land under my feet has finally made it possible for all the people to live and work in peace and contentment.Walking on the street, the hustle and bustle of the market shows the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty.

The scope of urbanization is increasing.In the countryside, the houses they live in are no longer thatched cottages, but sturdy buildings.Adults drive machines to work in the fields, and children play in the village.Those who are older are either studying in school, or have already left the countryside and went to big cities to broaden their horizons.

It is no longer necessary to work in the fields with adults from the age of three or four, as before, and stay in the fields for the rest of your life.

And I finally reached the end of my life.In the summer of the 36th year of Chengduan, he died of illness in Qianqing Palace.

Brother, I hope I can meet you again in my next life...
