A Chronicle of the Growth of the General Manager in the Qing Dynasty

The cold winter is slowly leaving, and the 61st year of Kangxi is coming as promised. In the first month of this year, Kangxi once again held a banquet for thousands of old people. On the banquet, Kangxi wrote a poem. Banquet Poetry".

This time, the feast of thousands of elders did not last for a long time. It can be seen that Kangxi's health is indeed not very good, and Nalan Fusen also came to Prince Yong's mansion to meet the fourth master.

Perhaps in order to test Nalan Fusen's loyalty and endurance, Fourth Master deliberately left him in the study for a long time before going to meet him with Wu Sidao. He was full of bookish air, but now his whole body is filled with evil spirit, which shows that the battlefield is indeed the first choice to change a person's character and temperament.

Fourth master walked to the back of the desk and sat down, then pointed to Wu Sidao and said, "This is Mr. Wu Sidao, you must not know him?"

Nalan Fusen was excited for a while. His favorite TV series in his previous life was "Yongzheng Dynasty", and he admired Wu Sidao in it, so he quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Wu, this is Nalan Fusen. .”

Wu Sidao hurriedly returned a salute and said, "General Nalan has been killed, so I don't deserve your salute."

Seeing that the two of them were almost exchanging pleasantries, the fourth master said: "It seems that this trip to the northwest has changed you a lot. Even Huang Ama admired your performance this time."

"Thank you, master, for your appreciation. This slave understands that everything is supported by the master. Without the master, there would be no slave. The slave must swear allegiance to the master!" Nalan Fusen knelt on the ground, his heart was at peace, and now he He is already completely two people with him in the previous life. At that time, I admired the emperor Yongzheng very much. Although the mysteries of Yongzheng's later generations and the controversy over the throne are great, what is indelible is that Yongzheng is indeed an iron-blooded emperor, and also Kang Qian Shengshi' is an indispensable middle leader, and now he has finally gained the trust and reuse of the fourth master after a lot of hard work, and everything is worth it now.

The fourth master was very satisfied with his understanding, and said: "Cewang in the northwest has been beheaded by you, but it is still not very peaceful. It won't be long before Huang Ama will send you to the northwest to sit in the battle again. "

Before Nalan Fusen could respond, Su Peisheng said, "Master, Mr. Nian, please see me."

The fourth master nodded, and soon Nian Gengyao was ushered in. He saw that Nalan Fusen was there. Although he didn't have any expression on his face, he was surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that Nalan Fusen was also the master's man.

Nian Gengyao's performance this time is very good. When he was the governor of Sichuan, he played an important role in guaranteeing the logistics supply of Nalan Fusen and his Northwest Army. When he was ordered to enter Beijing this time, Kangxi He was affirmed for his deeds, and he was given a bow and arrow, and promoted him to the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and became an important minister in the western frontier.

The fourth master looked at the two and was very happy. The two of them will cooperate with each other in the future, and Northwest will have no worries, so he said: "The two of you are also considered to be members of the same family, and the relationship is relatively good. Now Lianggong has become a member of Sichuan Province. The governor of Shaanxi is gone, and Fusen is also in command of the Northwest Army, you two should be friends and work hard together."

Both Nalan Fusen and Nian Gengyao got up to express their understanding, and the fourth master said to Nian Gengyao, "Liang Gong, you did a good job this time. Nian Shi gave birth to the eighth elder brother not long ago. The Lord named him Fuhui, you just need to remember to do things for the Lord wholeheartedly, in a few days, let your family members come to see him."

When Nian Gengyao heard this, there was a smile on his face. This time, his younger sister won the favor of the fourth master and had a son. She will gain a firm foothold in the future, and judging by the current situation, the fourth master still trusts him more Yes, thinking of this, and thinking that the fourth master is the most capable to occupy that position now, and Fuhui is very promising in the future, so he said: "Thank you, master, for your kindness."

After seeing off Nian Gengyao and Nalan Fusen, Fourth Master didn't speak, but Wu Sidao said: "Master, Nian Gengyao seems to be thinking a little too much this year."

The fourth master nodded and said: "Mr. is right, and I can see it. This time, the master sent Dai Duo to monitor beside Nian Gengyao. There shouldn't be any big trouble. What do you think of Nalan Fusen?"

"From my slave's point of view, Nalan Fusen is very useful. He is full of arrogance, but this arrogance does not hurt others. On the contrary, it makes him look different. He is not as arrogant as Nian Gengyao. Master may as well treat him This Nalan Fusen has a lot of uses."

The fourth master agreed with Wu Sidao's suggestion, and he had a higher evaluation of Nalan Fusen in his heart, at least higher than Nian Gengyao's. Thinking of investigating some of Nalan Fusen's secrets before, he felt more at ease.

Since the return of the Northwest Army, the Fourteenth Brother was obviously put on hold by Kangxi, and even the final Northwest military power was handed over to Nalan Fusen, while the Fourteenth Brother was left in the capital, still a It's just an idle Baylor. After the Northwest army left the capital, the fourteenth elder brother entered the palace and had a big fight with Kangxi. It is said that the father and son had a serious quarrel, but Kangxi still didn't punish the son, which made some fools My mind floated again.

The fourth master finally relaxed after he was busy with these errands. Not long ago, he brought everyone in the mansion to the Yuanmingyuan. This garden was established by Kangxi in 46, and later in 48 years, it was entrusted to the princes At that time, it was specially given to Prince Yong. The fourth master believed in Buddhism. "Yuanming" is the Buddhist name used by the fourth master, and the title is "Yuanming Layman". The name "Yuanmingyuan" is derived from the name "Yuanming" of the fourth master.

When the garden was given to the fourth master, it was not completely repaired. Later, after all the work was completed, the fourth master lived here intermittently for a period of time and liked the environment here very much. Order people to get ready, and take Su Wen and Su Peisheng to the pond in the garden to catch fish. Of course, fishing is just fun, don't expect to be able to eat it. The fish here are some ornamental fish, just looking beautiful. .

Fourth Master was wearing a uniform, sitting by the pond and started to move. Su Wen and the others didn't dare to move, for fear of disturbing the fish in the pond. After some time, Fourth Master suddenly started to move, and soon caught them A fish, when the fourth master was fishing peacefully, Su Peisheng and Su Wen actually saw Kangxi.

Kangxi was followed by the third elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother. Su Wen and Su Peisheng hurriedly wanted to speak, but Kangxi waved his hand to stop them. The two of them had to wait quietly for the fourth master. It didn't take long for the fourth master to catch him again. A fish finally found Kangxi when he was turning around to take the bait, but instead of panicking, he knelt down and saluted calmly: "My son pays tribute to Huang Ama, and asks Huang Ama to forgive me."

Kangxi laughed loudly and said: "Yinzhen doesn't need to be polite, get up, I have nothing to do today, so I went to your garden to have a look, it really is you who are patient enough to catch fish."

Su Wen and Su Peisheng hurried down to prepare refreshments and served them one by one. Kangxi said again: "Yinzhen, let my grandchildren come out to show me. I don't want to chat with you."

The fourth master didn't quite understand what his Ama meant, but he still ordered Su Peisheng to invite him. Honghui came with his eldest son Yongcong. Huihui's cold face, but his mischievous temperament can still be seen from his unmoving eyes. Hongshi's eldest son Yongshen was only one year old, so he didn't bring him with him. Since Hongshi became ama, his temper has also been stable After coming down, he was more cautious and thoughtful when doing business with Honghui, which won a lot of praise from Kangxi.

Hongli and Hongzhou also followed behind. The first thing Kangxi paid attention to was Honghui's eldest son, Yongcong. He said solemnly: "Yong Cong pays respects to Emperor Khan Mafa, and Emperor Khan Mafa is auspicious."

Kangxi looked at this little child, and suddenly felt very sad in his heart. Even his grandson's son is so old, and his body is also under daily conditions. He is really old. He pulled Yongcong and said: "Yong Cong just got enlightened, right? How did you learn in the study room?"

Yong Cong glanced at Fourth Master and Hong Hui quietly, and then said: "Hui Huanghan Mafa, Yong Cong likes to read, but... just can't get up in the morning, and Ama wakes Yong Cong up every time. "

Kangxi chuckled, looked at Hong Hui who was looking embarrassed, and said: "Since Yong Cong has spoken, I will make a decision for you, and I won't let you, Ama, beat you again. From now on, you will live with me in the palace." How, this way, you don’t have to worry about getting up late.”

As soon as Kangxi said this, everyone's expressions changed. The third elder brother is okay. After studying the books for so many years, he has figured out some things. He understands that he is not the candidate in Huang Ama's heart, and his mind has settled down. The thirteenth brother was happy when he came down, he knew that the fourth brother had taken another step, and the fourteenth brother was completely angry. Although he was a little dizzy in the northwest, he made a contribution. As soon as he returned to the capital, he was only given the title of Baylor, without any real power. Even the Northwest military power he finally obtained was given to Nalan Fusen. He fought for it and quarreled with Huang Ama, but nothing happened. It is useful, but now he is not convinced. Why does Huang Ama value the fourth brother so much?

"Huang Ama, you should first ask Yong Cong what he means. In case Yong Cong doesn't want to leave his Ama, it would be bad if he kept crying in the palace."

Kangxi actually loved his son Shisi very much. In the past, he thought that Shisi was loyal to the eighth son, and he was very good at riding and shooting. That's why he led the troops to fight, but he didn't expect the result to be embarrassing. The majestic prince even took a woman to enjoy himself during the war. This is a big taboo, and he insisted on opposing Nalan Fusen's strategy. All these made Kangxi very disappointed in him. He originally thought that Shisi was the fourth brother's younger brother. , who was going to train Fourteen to be the backing of Fourth Brother, but who would have thought that Fourteen would cause trouble for Fourth Brother again.

Although Yong Cong doesn't quite understand what they mean, but he loves Huanghan Mafa, after all, Ama in the mansion is very strict with him, and although Mafa, the fourth master, loves him, he still loves him when he meets him. There are very few chances, so he took Kangxi's hand and said: "Huanghan Mafa, can he really enter the palace? Yongcong wants to be with Huanghan Mafa, so Ama will not dare to fight Yongcong." Cong."

Kangxi laughed when he heard this, and said: "Okay, Huanghan Mafa will take you into the palace." The fourth master was satisfied and happy with the result. At this time, Kangxi said: "By the way, there is Hong Li, Hongli will also enter the palace with me, I will feel more comfortable and at ease with Hongli, the auspicious grandson, by my side."

Hongli was full of pride and joy, while the fourteenth elder brother and the third elder brother looked optimistic, the fourth master frowned, and did not express any objection, but only gave Honghui a worried look.

The presence of Kangxi this time made everyone in the garden busy. During the dinner, Kangxi was always accompanied by Yong Cong and Hongli. After sending Kangxi away, Fourth Master specially called Honghui in and said: " Don't worry about Hongli's affairs, as long as you do things well."

Now that Honghui is a father, he is more considerate of his Ama's intentions, and said: "Ama don't have to worry, my son won't care about it, but Ama still needs to pay attention to Hongli's safety, Yong Cong is better, but this Hong Li will definitely cause disaster because of Huang Mafa's auspicious words today." The fourth master is very satisfied with Honghui's brotherhood, and feels that his own son is indeed the best.

After sending Hong Hui away, the fourth master calmed down after arranging everything, and when he was practicing calligraphy, he remembered Su Wen's handwriting like a dog and said, "Su Wen, how is your calligraphy practice recently? If you don’t check, you will be useless.”

Su Wen was really speechless to Fourth Master. How did this person change so quickly? Just a moment ago, he had just arranged the issue of the hidden guards. At this moment, he thought of his words again, so he could only say: "Return to the master, the slave has never It’s useless, and I’m still practicing.”

The fourth master slowly wrote down the last word, put down the brush, nodded, put his handwriting aside and took out a piece of white paper next to him and said: "Since you are not wasted, come over and write a few words for the master." Let's see if you have grown."

Su Wen stepped forward, took the brush, settled down, and wrote a few words. The fourth master looked at it carefully and said: "'Don't be surprised by favor or disgrace', yes, these four words are well written, it seems You have worked hard, but there are still some things that are not right."

Fourth Master walked behind Su Wen, held Su Wen's hand, and wrote these four words on the paper again. Su Wen panicked for a while, and could clearly feel Fourth Master's breathing on his neck. As soon as his body trembled, his face turned red involuntarily. The fourth master secretly smiled in his heart. Today he deliberately teased Su Wen. Although he understood what he was thinking about him, Su Wen didn't seem to be enlightened yet, and he didn't know anything. I understand, I was still trembling when facing him all day long, which made him very uncomfortable, but now, Su Wen still changed his expression, it seems that he still likes this blushing look.

With the help of the fourth master, Su Wen wanted to break free after writing these four words, but he didn't know that the fourth master was still holding his hand tightly and would not let go. Just when he didn't know what to do, the fourth master said : "Master will teach you to continue practicing, your handwriting is still not ready."

The corners of Su Wen's mouth twitched. I am a little eunuch, and I am not a scholar. I almost don't need to write. Why do I have to practice calligraphy so hard? Isn't it just looking for trouble? Of course, what Su Wen said is true Those who had the guts to say it in front of Fourth Master could only lower their heads and try their best to ignore Fourth Master's hands and breathing while writing.

Su Peisheng is also very helpless on the side. He really wants to go out now. The two of them practice calligraphy together, what a beautiful and ambiguous picture, but he, the extra person, really doesn't know what the eyes should be. Where to put it.

Su Peisheng thinks that the fourth master's current actions are quite wrong. It is a very dangerous thing for the fourth master to use his thoughts on a servant. It should not be known to others. This matter involves a lot. Being careful may ruin Fourth Master's reputation, and indirectly affect Fourth Master's longing for that seat. Of course, Su Wen is the most miserable, and he will definitely lose his chance of survival, but Fourth Master often He didn't avoid him when he moved, as if he didn't have him, Su Peisheng wanted to cry, but he felt that his desire to live in peace and grow old would be difficult to realize...
