[Comprehensive] Short-lived ghost

Kangxi was the emperor with the longest reign in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and also the one with the most children. Every three years, the palace had to choose a beautiful girl. He Fang had more and more younger brothers and sisters, and some of them were the same as recorded in history. Some died young, but some survived tenaciously.

When He Fangxu was six years old, he had to go to the study to study according to the rules. He had to get up before dawn every day, and he didn't finish school until three or four in the afternoon. Because he was young, he didn't have to learn riding and archery yet, but he shook his head every day. Reading all the time makes him feel dizzy.

He Fang had studied with Kangxi for two years, and he had already completed credits in the cultural courses of Four Books and Five Classics. He didn't want to waste any more time, so he discussed with Kangxi. After Kangxi thought about it, he asked He Fang to learn Manchu and Mongolian in advance. He Fang couldn't help but use Xiaoyu's ability to deal with it.

By the time He Fang's younger brothers Sai Yin Chahun and Yin Yin went to study in the upper study, He Fang had already followed Kangxi to attend the court.

Because of Kangxi's order to dismantle the vassals, the vassal kings with different surnames headed by Wu Sangui launched a rebellion under the banner of anti-Qing and restoring the Ming. It is enough to have enough to eat, but when wars happen, it is the common people who suffer.

Wu Sangui's army is now entrenched in the mountains, and it is difficult for the Qing army to break through him.

Seeing He Fang frowning and thinking, Kangxi asked him what he thought.

Kangxi deliberately asked He Fang in front of all the ministers, not once or twice, he intends to start cultivating He Fang, so that he will have more opportunities to express himself.

He Fang is now eight years old, about the same age as when Kangxi came to the throne, so Kangxi didn't think that He Fang was too young to be able to participate in political affairs. In addition, He Fang was not an ignorant and ignorant brat, and he could occasionally bring up matters discussed by ministers. Opinion, so no one dares to underestimate his existence.

"A few days ago, my son and Master Nan of the Qin Tianjian started to repair the cannon left by Master Tang. It is still under development. If it is successful, it should be useful in this battle against Wu."

Nan Huairen, Qin Tianjian, came to China to preach in 1658. Because Kangxi was very interested in natural science, Nan Huairen once served as Kangxi's teacher in this area. Nan Huairen is a talented person. He knows astronomy, geography, and For the matter of casting cannons, He Fang found him and discussed with him about casting cannons.

Tang Ruowang, a missionary during the Shunzhi period, also studied casting cannons and left semi-finished products. It is not difficult to restore and restore cannons.

After the first cannon was built, Kangxi promoted Nan Huairen as Minister of the Ministry of Industry to supervise the manufacture of cannons. He Fang was also assigned to supervise the work of the Ministry of Industry. This was his first job, and Kangxi was also earning merit for him. and prestige.

The cannon was pushed onto the battlefield, and the war became much easier. Especially with the help of He Fang, the improved cannon had a greatly improved range and power. Day died of illness.

He Fang, who knew that this war must be won, started to solve the matter of subjugating Taiwan after casting the cannon. First, the ceremony and then the soldiers. Cannons were added, but the hull would be too heavy and the ship would look cumbersome. Firstly, the flexibility and mobility would be reduced. Second, it would require a lot of manpower to drive. He Fang thought of using steam as power.

Where is the principle of the steam engine known, but how to design it as power and put it in the ship will take a lot of thought.

He Fang took a brush to scribble and draw on the rice paper, and threw a lot of waste manuscripts on the ground. Kangxi stopped the eunuch at the door and told him not to pass it on.

He Fang is now ten years old, and it would be unethical to live in the Qianqing Palace, so He Fang moved into the elder brother's house. It is located on the east side of the imperial garden, and it is called the North Five Houses. There are more than ten rooms in size. He Fang lives alone in one room because he is the oldest. Well, the other princes are arranged in one room in twos and threes, but they are not far apart. If the next door doesn't lower their voice and say a bad word about someone, it will be heard in the other party's ears immediately.

Saiyinchahun and Yinyu lived in the same room, Yinreng and Yinzhi lived in the same room, there were two other princes above Yinzhi, but they both died, and Yinzhen was too young to move in, now there are only six of them Yinzhen is the youngest of the six princes, because the birth mother's status is too low to raise the prince, so Yinzhen was raised by the imperial concubine Tong Jia from birth.

Tong Jiashi is Kangxi's direct cousin, and now she is a noble concubine, the first concubine under the empress. As her adopted son, Yinzhen is only inferior to He Fang and Yinreng, and is also the favorite of the crown prince.

When Kangxi entered the room, seeing He Fang scribbling and drawing at his desk, he walked forward curiously, picked up the waste manuscripts on the floor, frowned and looked at them for a long time, He Fang raised his eyes to see him, and beckoned him to do whatever he wanted.

Kangxi walked to the table, looked down at what he was drawing, and laughed out loud.

"The waste manuscripts on the ground are a bit of a university question, but what are you drawing on your hand? A chair is not like a chair, and a horse is not like a horse."

"I can't think of that thing, so I can only study these simple things."

After He Fang drew the last stroke, he put down the brush, picked up the rice paper and dried the ink stains on it, and handed it to Kangxi, "Baocheng's birthday is coming soon, so make a wooden horse for him."

"What's the point of sending this fake one? I'll give him a pony."

"That's nothing compared to what I did with my own hands."

"Let's not talk about this first, what do you draw on this picture?" Kangxi picked up the waste manuscript drawn by He Fang, and He Fang explained his idea, Kangxi pondered for a while, "If it is really possible to develop a steam engine, let alone a ship The dynamics have improved, and a lot has been done elsewhere.”

Kangxi really thought far and wide. As an ancient man with his insights, he was already looking at the world from the shoulders of giants.

"Ama is wise." He Fang praised him with a thumbs up.

Kangxi smiled dejectedly. He had lunch here. The imperial dining room didn't know that Kangxi was here, so the lunch was according to Hefang's standard, with meat and vegetables plus a soup. Seeing how frugal he was, Kangxi secretly thought to himself nodded.

After Wu Sangui died of illness, the Qing soldiers took advantage of the victory and pursued, conquered Hunan, Guangxi and Sichuan successively, and captured Kunming in the winter of 1681, completely disintegrating the power of the San Francisco.

On December 1681, [-], the day of He Fang's birthday, Kangxi decided to appoint He Fang as the crown prince, and held a grand ceremony for the appointment in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The ceremony was successfully completed.

He Fang was moved into the Yuqing Palace by his elder brother, and several younger brothers came to celebrate He Fang's birthday. Sai Yinchahun and Yin Yin were not too young, and they both knew that the crown prince meant that he would inherit the throne in the future. He Fang is happy, Yinzhi and Yinzhen are both young, so they don't know what a crown prince is, they just come to celebrate He Fang's birthday, only Yinreng, the brother of the same mother, He Fang doesn't know what he thinks in his heart.

Since Yinfeng can remember, he has always been compared with his elder brother. When he was four years old, the queen ordered someone to enlighten him. He was at the age of playing and couldn't sit still. You will talk about how your brother is, he can read the Four Books and Five Classics by the age of four, and when Yinfeng enters the study room at the age of six, he is already much ahead of the other brothers, and he still has a sense of superiority in his heart, but Mr. Set an example and educate them.

From then on, Yinfeng knew that he would never be able to compare with his own brother, and when he got older, he would know the difference between the two, and it was always difficult to feel close to He Fang, maybe because they were both his own sons. , always being compared by others, he can't compare anywhere, and he will feel inferior wherever he sees.

But He Fang, this elder brother, is very kind to him. Every year on his birthday, he would make some toys for him with his own hands. Both brothers are good, but he is his mother's younger brother, which makes Yinfeng a little angry, feeling that He Fang, a real brother, doesn't pay enough attention to him.

Now that He Fang has been registered as the crown prince, the queen is very happy. Seeing that Yinfeng is a little unhappy, she thinks that Yinfeng is jealous of her brother, and she seriously enlightens him, so that he cannot have a relationship with He Fang, and the brothers must be of one mind.

"Baocheng, what are you thinking? The little faces are twisted together." He Fang hugged Yinrong on his lap, He Fang was good at stature due to exercise, and Yinreng was hardworking because of daily reading and thought. Too heavy, not long in size.

Yinfeng was hugged and sat on his lap by his brother, he twisted his body awkwardly, and finally he was hugged obediently by He Fang.

He Fang picked up a piece of pastry and brought it to his mouth, "Last time you said that this pastry is delicious, I ordered someone to bring it in from outside the palace." He Fang leaned into his ear and said, "Don't let the other younger brothers know, or else it will be too late. Let’s say I’m biased.”

Yinfeng's ears turned red and he opened his mouth to bite the dim sum. He accidentally bit He Fang's finger, "Baocheng wants to eat meat." He Fang joked.

Yinfeng's entire face turned red.

He Fang stopped teasing him, and looked at his younger brother who was rolling and playing on the ground. The floor was covered with thick carpets, and the room was warm. Several kids had fun rolling around. The youngest, Yinzhen, was small He was wearing a lot of clothes, round and round like a ball, being pushed around by his elder brothers, he himself thought it was fun, he couldn't stop laughing.

"It's cold today, let's eat hot pot together."

The greedy Yinyi was the first to jump up and clap his hands when he heard that there was a hot pot to eat. Because he was afraid that the open fire would hurt some children, He Fang and his younger brothers sat on the kang table and waited for the eunuchs to prepare vegetables and meat at the next table. They ate alone, so although a lot of fun was lost, the taste of the hot pot was still commendable.

After Kangxi finished dealing with the political affairs, seeing that it was still early, he decided to come to Yuqing Palace to see where he was, and gave him a birthday present. Before entering the house, he heard the laughter of the children. Kangxi saw several children happily Look, I feel warm in my heart.

"Huang Ama." Saiyin Chahun saw Kangxi first, and shouted, several princes hurriedly descended to salute, but Yinzhen couldn't get off the kang, so he knelt down on the kang and saluted Kangxi, with a sincere and fearful expression on his face. Make Kangxi unhappy.

Seeing his cautious appearance, Kangxi was very distressed. He asked the children to get up, then hugged the youngest Yinzhen in his arms, and took off his shoes and got on the kang.

Kangxi is a loving father, but he is more strict on the outside. He often wanders to the upper study room to take a quiz in class. Several children are afraid of him. Now they are scared by his majesty and are very cautious.

"Don't worry about it, I just have a meal with my sons today."

Kangxi was helpless, his sons all sullenly waited for each other, even the youngest Yinzhen felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he was held in Kangxi's arms stiffly.

"Ama, go and see if the mutton is cooked? The younger brothers are all hungry and waiting for the meat." He Fang broke the deadlock with a smile.

Kangxi smiled, put Yinzhen aside, got up and said, "Okay, just sit and wait obediently."

The eunuchs dared not let Kangxi do it, they hurriedly took out the meat from the pot and put it on a plate and handed it to Kangxi with both hands. Kangxi tasted a piece and thought it was cooked before serving it to the children.

Kangxi put the meat plate on the table and gave each prince a big piece.

"Saiyinchahun, keep warm, don't catch the cold again."

"Yinyi, you're getting stronger again."

"Did Baocheng eat less, why didn't he grow up?"

"Yinzhi has started to lose his teeth."

"You can't chew Yinzhen's meat, so eat tofu."

It's He Fang's turn that the meat is gone.

"Go get the meat yourself, you're such an adult, why don't you ask me to feed you?" Kangxi laughed.

After going back and forth like this, the atmosphere heated up again, Yinzhen leaned on Kangxi's arms and instructed Kangxi to pick up vegetables for him, and Kangxi personally picked up the vegetables and fed them to Yinzhen's mouth.

The youngest son should be in such pain, but everyone still envies Yinzhen.

In Kangxi, they didn't dare to act like a baby, so the princes relied on He Fang, clinging to He Fang's side, with their mouths open like sparrows waiting to be fed.

He Fang fed everything into the mouths of his younger brothers without eating a single bite.

"Eat by yourself, do you hear me?" He Fang said with his elder brother's majesty, but the younger brothers didn't agree.

"Brother's food is delicious." Yin Yin smacked his lips and said.

"Hands are cold, I don't want to move my chopsticks." Yin Reng shrank his head and put his hands into his sleeves, frowning slightly and said sickly.

Sai Yinchahun was robbed of the role by Yinfeng, he hesitated for a long time, his face was flushed, he picked up the chopsticks and ate by himself.

The big guy was so teased by him that he laughed, Yinzhi lost his front teeth, his mouth was leaking, and he covered his mouth and laughed like a shy big girl.

He Fang ordered someone to send them back when the little ones were full and began to take a nap. Seeing that everyone had left, Kangxi took out a small brocade box from his bosom, "Birthday gift."

He Fang took it, but deliberately said: "Ama is getting more and more stingy, and the gifts are getting smaller every year."

"It's a poor mouth again, open it and have a look."

He Fang opened it in front of him, and it was a square dragon's head seal. He picked it up and saw that there were six traditional Chinese characters engraved on it: Prince Chenghu's Seal, and there was a line of small characters below it: Ruzhen Yubi.

"Xi" has been a special seal used by emperors since Qin Shihuang, and the four characters "Ruzhen Yubi" are really elusive. He Fang looks at Kangxi.

"I have already arranged for you the yamen of Zhan Shifu, Kong Guodai, a cabinet minister, and Chen Tingjing, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and Zhan Shifuman and Han Zhanshi. You can arrange three more agreeable ones."

Since ancient times, the most taboo of the emperor is that his son forms a clique for personal gain. The purpose of forming a clique is nothing more than for the throne. Even if it is his favorite successor, he does not want his son to covet his throne, because the crown prince ascended the throne, basically When the emperor passed away, no one wanted his son to hope that he would go west as soon as possible.

"I will entrust you with the matter of conquering Taiwan, maybe you can do it well?" Kangxi patted him on the shoulder and asked.

"In less than three years, Taiwan will be conquered." He Fang was aroused by Kangxi, holding the prince's jade seal tightly in his hand, and vowed.

The author has something to say: This book was ruined by me, so I can only hope for the next book, write two more worlds, and say goodbye to everyone
