The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Spring comes again.

After fourteen years, he will be nine years old, and half of his front teeth have grown out. He is still very taciturn, and the palace is still lively during the Chinese New Year.

Moreover, he can receive a lot of money during the Chinese New Year. This time, Kangxi generously gave his fourteenth son 200 taels of gold.

Probably because Kangxi treated Shishi more and more favorably, His Royal Highness and the elder brother both noticed Xiao Shisi at the same time.

This is a big Chinese New Year, and the ninth day of the first month is the birthday of the little fourteenth. As a result, when he celebrates his birthday, the congratulatory gift from the elder brother is 100 taels of gold, ten ten taels of gold.

The crown prince didn't know what to think, so he also gave him 100 taels of gold, just like the eldest brother.

The ones given by the third elder brother are relatively ordinary. I gave Xiao Shisi a set of the four treasures of the study, which are not for children, but for adults. The normal four treasures of the study are more delicate. It is said that they are The relics of the previous dynasty are from the Ming Dynasty.

The fourth elder brother gave him a set of the Four Books and Five Classics, and the others also expressed their opinions. The thirteenth elder brother gave him ten catties of dried pork.

It was probably because Concubine Min was in good health and did not die like in history. Brother Thirteen was very happy, and he did not run out of food for dried pork.

Concubine Min's fifteenth princess is already able to call people.

The little girl is pink and tender, so cute.

Concubine Yi would occasionally bring the Thirteenth Princess to the Yonghe Palace. Although the movement was a little louder, crossing half of the Forbidden City, it would be good if the Thirteenth Elder Brother and the two younger sisters could meet more often.

When it was his birthday, his uncle sent him another message saying that everything was settled in Shengjing, so he should not worry about it.

Although I don't know why the little nephew treated Dai Zi so courteously, but Wu Yaboqi still greeted there. No one in Dai Zi would bother him, but someone secretly took care of him to ensure that the whole family had food and clothing. All, without poverty.

Also got a small workshop for the other party.

Knowing that Dai Zi's family has settled down well, Little Fourteen is also relieved. He is only nine years old, so he doesn't need Dai Zi. What about ten years later?Dai Zi is definitely the firearms genius of this period.

The draft started just after the first month of the lunar year. Kangxi made a quick decision this time. He didn't mean to procrastinate, so he chose directly. Then the seventh elder brother pointed out marriage, and he also reached the age of marriage.

As for the eighth, ninth, and tenth elder brothers, they are still young, and Yifei left a sign for her niece, Guo Luoluo Mingmin, who was selected in this year's draft. It means that the emperor has taken it into his eyes and is preparing to give the girl a good future.

There is no marriage reference, one is that there may be some delays, and the other is that there is probably no suitable candidate for marriage, so it is temporarily reserved.

What's more, the emperor himself took a fancy to it and brought it into the harem.

And Guo Luo Luo Mingmin was taken by Concubine Yi to live in the palace for a while, the intention is obvious, elder brother nine often takes elder brother eight to Concubine Yi, elder brother ten is just a follower, not to mention elder brother ten is born too high Concubine Yi can't be the master of the tenth elder brother, but the eighth elder brother can still consider it. Concubine Hui also has her niece and daughter from her mother's family to run for the election, and she also wants to be assigned to the eighth elder brother, so that the eighth elder brother is somewhat sought after at a young age up.

This made Mr. Wei very happy, and felt that his son was the best child in the whole world.

But Concubine De didn't think so, Xiao Shisi couldn't understand: "Why isn't Er Niang optimistic about Guo Luo Luo Mingmin?"

He has seen that little girl before, she is lively and cute, she has the style of a Manchu aunt, she can play with a whip, she can ride a horse, it is said that she can do embroidery, she can cook, and she has even been to the grasslands.

"Do you think Ming Min Gege has the demeanor of a concubine Yi?" Concubine De asked Xiao Shisi.

"Yes, Concubine Yimu also said that she is most like when she was not out of the cabinet." Concubine Yi really likes Mingmin, if Brother Jiu didn't like it, she might make Mingmin her daughter-in-law.

And Ming Min also said that he likes the gentle and refined Eighth Brother, rather than the businessman like Ninth Brother who spends all day pulling abacus beads.

"Then tell me, what's Concubine Yi's reputation in the palace?" Concubine De was slowly teaching Xiao Fourteen the ways of the world.

Xiao Shisi froze for a moment, then reflected: "Concubine Yimu... is very refreshing."

These are all polite words, and they are refreshing, but Concubine Yi is a serious Manchurian aunt, competitive, aggressive, and obedient. At first, her character was like this. Kangxi was used to it, and the palace was used to it too. up.

She was the most refreshing one in front of Kangxi, but she was the most pungent one in front of the women in the harem. Her whole body was covered with thorns. The previous empresses of the Yuan Dynasty and the successors, even the imperial concubine Tong Jia, could not suppress her at that time. .

Guo Luoluo's family is also a common surname in Manchuria, and there are many brothers in the family who joined the army. Concubine Yi's own sister entered the palace, but she did not seek favor with her own sister.

Because the Guo Luoluo family only needs one woman in the palace. Concubine Yi entered the palace for five years without giving birth to a son. Not less included in the harem, among the top ten princes, except for the fourth elder brother, which one was not born with a common surname in Manchuria?However, the natal families of all the ladies are strong and weak, so this move is very proud.

Although Guo Luoluo's family is good, there is a problem with Mingmin's background.

She is the seventh daughter of Prince An Yue Le, the daughter of He Shuo Gege and He Shuo's concubine Ming Shang, and the granddaughter of Prince An Yue Le.

Guo Luoluo Shi Mingmin said that he was also born in a noble family, with a prominent family background and a noble status. He was favored since childhood, so he was rather savage.

But she, Amaming, was still in Kangxi for 20 years, and was sentenced to beheaded for betting on Sun Wufu more than [-] taels.

What needs to be explained is that in the early Qing Dynasty, the government was unstable, the Manchus had just entered the customs, and the emperor had just worked hard for two years. He wanted to change his decadent official style, and the court treated princes and nobles very harshly. certificate.

Gambling was banned in the early Qing Dynasty, and princes who embezzled 300 taels were sentenced to death.

As far as this criminal law is concerned, ordinary Manchus don't care about it, but in order to kill chickens to make an example to monkeys, coupled with Prince An's lack of Sacred Heart, this Mingshang has become the chicken used to warn monkeys.

Moreover, Ming did not specify the canonical punishment, but the cause of death is unknown. In the prison, he died without knowing the reason, and no one knows the exact date of death.

Mingshang's wife died in depression after learning about it.

At this point, the Guo Luoluo family lost their support and became an orphan in the true sense. He was brought up by his grandfather Yue Le in Prince An's Mansion.

"Did you know? The eighth elder brother happened to be born in the year that Mingshang's incident happened." Concubine De said something creepy: "A little girl who has lost her parents is still a criminal minister. Do you want to marry the eighth elder brother to be the eighth Fujin? Is she really like a fairy? It is very strict to choose the first Fujin. Look at your sisters-in-law, who is famous for their bright and arrogant temper? No Your Huang Ama nodded, Concubine Yi is hot for a haircut!"

"What does Huang Ama mean?" An orphan girl can also become the prince Fujin?

Not to mention that the eldest elder brother's Di Fujin is from the Irgenjueluo family, that is, the third elder brother's Fujin and the fourth elder brother's Fujin, all of them are from well-known families, and their parents and brothers are still alive.

Although Mingmin is good, Guo Luoluo's family is not deserted. Why did Prince An's mansion support her back then?

Mingshang is not an orphan, he also has brothers, sisters, and elders.

In the palace, Mingmin seemed to refer to her family. Prince An's mansion is from the lineage of Prince An Yue Le, and Prince An was rightly said to be the Iron Hat King and Prince He Shuo'an.

Abatai, the seventh son of Nurhachi, was named the king of Doro Raoyu County. His son Yue Le was named An after he attacked the noble. In the dynasty, Yue Le was in power.

But it will not work in the Kangxi Dynasty, because there is no Yue Le among the ministers of Gu Ming left by Shunzhi to Kangxi!

But Yue Le is not idle either. There are a total of 28 branches in the lineage of King Doro Raoyu, with a large population. Shunzhi did not appoint him as the assistant minister, so he gave birth to children at home. In the middle of the Kangxi Dynasty, Prince An's Mansion is very powerful. The reason is that there are so many people. There are more than a dozen brothers and I have more than 20 sons. I don’t believe that there are hundreds of people and none of them has become a talent!

Even if it doesn't work, if the son marries a daughter-in-law or the girl marries, the in-laws are also a huge force.

Concubine De explained the current situation of Prince An's Mansion to Xiao Shisi.

Prince An's Mansion has a large population, and there are more troubles in the backyard!

Comparable to a harem that is even more complicated, every day when there is nothing to do, she fights at home, Mingmin is an orphan girl, her parents are dead, and she is a criminal minister, how good can she be treated?

Prince An himself has grandchildren, even great-grandsons and great-granddaughters, not including grandchildren, grandchildren, etc. Can you remember a little granddaughter?Even if he takes care of her once in a while, how can a big man pay attention to a little girl all the time?

Then Prince An is no longer Prince An.

In addition, Prince An is getting older and doesn't have so much energy.

"But that's not what Mingmin Gege said in the palace. They said that Prince An's Mansion is great." Xiaoshishi only met Mingmin Gege three times. The first time they met was a small banquet organized by Concubine Yi. Now, Mingmin speaks harshly, saying "Prince An's Mansion" and "Guo Luoma Fa" in one mouthful, as if only the family of Guo Luoluo is not in the family, wishing to follow the surname of Aixinjueluo.

No wonder he kept going to the eighth elder brother.

Because she couldn't surrender to the other elder brothers at all.

Ninth elder brother is the heart of Concubine Yi at first glance, tenth elder brother is of noble birth, second only to the existence of a prince, eleventh elder brother is gone, twelve elder brother's marriage, Su Mala's mother has her own ideas , not to mention Elder Brother Twelve is too young.

Guo Luo Luo Mingmin is already 14 years old, and she will be over-age in the next draft.

"She is only as good as her natal family." Concubine De's comment was very sharp.

"Huang Ama wants to appease Prince An's lineage?" Little Fourteen suddenly thought of something: "That's why you acquiesced in Ming Min's approach to the eighth elder brother?"

"The draft is just a formality." Concubine De said: "Eighth Brother's niece is also happy, otherwise Eighth Brother wouldn't play so well with Ming Min Gege."

"The eighth elder brother is miserable." Even if the little fourteen doesn't know anything about the Qing Dynasty, he also knows that the eighth elder brother is very strong and jealous in history. The eighth elder brother married her because of Prince An's connections. Later, it was indeed a great help to the eighth elder brother, but the eighth prince is famous for being jealous. The name of the first jealous woman in the Qing Dynasty is not covered, and the eighth elder brother only had a child in middle age one girl.

It was still born by two princesses, and none of the eight blessings were born.

Xiao Shisi guessed that the eight Fujins were probably blocked in their fallopian tubes.

There is no way to cure this problem in ancient times.

"Whether it's miserable or not, one is willing to be beaten, and the other is willing to suffer." Concubine De patted her youngest son's head: "You will know later."

The eighth elder brother's marriage can be delayed for at least two years, but Kangxi obviously has to do something. After the spring, the draft is over, and Kangxi is going to Changchun Garden. This time, the fourteenth elder brother is not required to slap and roll, so I will take him there .

Changchun Garden is a great place, but you can't come here every year.

Concubine De didn't come with her this time, nor did Concubine Min, but the fourth elder brother still brought Xiao Shisan and Xiao Shisi to live in Chengtai Terrace.

I have to continue my studies when I come to Changchun Garden, but the courses are much less, and there are a lot of fun in Changchun Garden. The fourth elder brother took the two of them to go boating!

On the rippling blue waves, the painting boat moves slowly, and the breeze blows, which is very cool.

"Brother, can I go fishing?" Elder Fourteen still wanted to go fishing.

"Yes." The fourth elder brother fulfilled his wish.

The three of them all gained a lot. Brother Fourteen caught seven or eight crucian carp in a basket, all of which were as big as palms.

The thirteenth elder brother caught two big grass carp, and the fourth elder brother caught a big red carp in addition to two small crucian carp.

This big carp was presented to Kangxi. The crucian carp was braised in brown sauce, but for the grass carp, the [-]th elder brother personally instructed the imperial chef to cook two pots of boiled fish.

Boiled fish was born in the 21st century. Its predecessor is actually hot pot fish from Chongqing. At first, it was a fast food-like dish for drivers and friends, and it became very popular in Chengdu.

Later, in [-], at a culinary competition held in Chongqing, a chef of Sichuan cuisine won the grand prize with this dish, which made it flourish.

In ancient times, there was no boiled fish, only hot pot fish.

But the boiled fish is delicious and easy to eat. Xiao Shishi likes the fish head inside and the fish bones inside, Xiao Shisan likes fish meat, and the fourth elder brother unexpectedly likes the bean sprouts at the bottom.

The two pots of boiled fish were all killed. Xiao Shisan even said, "I'll catch some more grass carp tomorrow."

"When I eat tomorrow, I will present Huang Ama's boiled fish dish. It tastes really good." The fourth elder brother wiped his mouth: "Xiao Shisi, can this dish be kept secret?"

"It's just one dish, don't you need it?" Little Fourteen just likes to eat, and has no sense of keeping it secret.

"I have a restaurant under my name, and this dish should be considered one of the restaurant's signature dishes!" The fourth elder brother said, "I will give you a dividend at that time."

"Whatever, bro, do you still have a restaurant?" Elder Fourteen couldn't believe that his brother still runs a restaurant.

"It's just a business. The main reason is that there is no place to deal with some things. It's a waste to sell them cheaply. It's better to open a restaurant and earn some money to support the family." The fourth elder brother said indifferently, but the restaurant actually belonged to Empress Xiaoyi. As for the dowry, Tong Jia's has been operating it all the time, and now it belongs to the fourth elder brother. Of course, he has to use his own people to manage it.

It's just that Tong Jia took everyone away, including the cook. The current cook is an apprentice of an imperial cook. He is good at cooking, but no matter how good his skills are, he has no special characteristics.
