The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

How many years have these two been "spiritually hidden", how much money is owed?

But looking back, these two are also big debtors. They fought openly and secretly for so long and spent countless money.

Judging from the current situation of these two companies, it is impossible to pay back the money, unless they sell the iron.

But how to sell iron?

The Zhijun Prince's Mansion is fine, and can earn some income.

The deposed prince lives in Xian'an Palace, how can he go about collecting debts?

It's also a problem, I can't, let the fourth master go to see the waste prince with a straight face and ask for money, right?

There is also Zhijun Wang, who has been banned in this circle for several years, and I don't know if this temper has calmed down?

"Anyway, among all the princes now, these two are the ones who owe the most debts, followed by the ninth master, who owes 56 taels; the tenth master only owes 10 taels." The thirteenth master knew the household department That's why he dared to say to Fourteen: "There are also a lot of other debts, and the sanctimonious guy like the third brother actually owes 50 taels of silver."

It's not that Prince Cheng is short of money. The wealth he has accumulated over the years is unreasonable and not enough to spend. Go to the household department to borrow money.

But he borrowed it!

There are also Prince Heng and Prince Chun, each of whom is about [-] taels. The princes and brothers, the first few are all big debtors.

There are also officials, the major debtors are the Cao family, the Li family and the Sun family in Jiangnan. These three families are in debt because of Kangxi, but this has long been arranged.

Secondly, there are some relatives of the emperor, who also owe debts. Speaking of which, everyone is Aixinjueluo, or the Jueluo family. They are all ancestors, and they are all relatives.

What about borrowing some money from relatives?

The Qing Dynasty is full of them.

This is what some people think, but Kangxi doesn't think so.

"Prepare the money. If you really want to recover the debt with the fourth brother, you have to pay off your own debts first. Otherwise, if someone catches you, they will impeach you." Fourteen The master said: "When the time comes, you can't be justified in asking for debts."

Thirteenth Master was happy: "Of course, of course!"

The two brothers got together and chatted for a while, laughing and joking, neither of them was in good shape.

After a while, a few younger ones came over, Ten 56 and Eighteen. Strangely, the Fourteenth Lord didn't see the Seventeenth Prince.

In other words, he hadn't seen the Seventeenth Prince since the eagle killing incident.

This kid's opportunistic luck is really bad, and things happen every time.

When the New Year's Eve dinner was over, they went back to their mothers' palaces. Fourth master discussed things with Thirteen and Fourteen. The children followed Concubine De and Concubine Min to make dumplings, which would be eaten after midnight.

The excitement didn't stop until the middle of the night. These people went out of the palace and went back to the mansion. After sleeping for two hours, they had to get up and go to the palace to celebrate the new year. In fact, the New Year is just a mess.

At this time, the Fourteenth Master was full of resentment towards going out of the palace to build a mansion.

Because of all the tossing, he couldn't sleep in anymore.

In such a comparison, he still misses the days outside.

At least it's not such a toss during the holidays.

But on the first day of the new year, everyone went to the Fengxian Hall to worship the ancestors. Everyone went, Kangxi took the lead, he knelt in the hall, all the princes and elder brothers were in the corridor outside the hall, and the royal relatives were in the courtyard, forming a trapezoid .

After the worship, they went back to their respective Eniang palaces. After the lively New Year greetings, they could only leave the palace after dinner, and then they held New Year's activities in each family. On the fourteenth, they went to the fourth master's house to have a meal, and then went to the fifth master's house. , Seventh Master’s family has a meal, these are brothers who have a good relationship, and then Jiuye’s family, Tenth Master’s family has already made an appointment to eat roasted whole lamb together!

After he ate the braised pork knuckle from Brother Thirteen's house, it was his birthday.

On this day, he got up early in the morning and went to the Yonghe Palace of Concubine De, and gave a big gift to Concubine De in a proper manner: "Thank you, Er Niang, for giving birth to a son."

Concubine De wiped away her tears: "Okay, get up."

What Concubine De made for Shishi was a bowl of birthday noodles, a poached egg, and some slices of beef for him.

The fourteenth master ate everything and even drank the soup.

Then I went to Qianqing Palace to meet Kangxi, and gave Kangxi a big gift. Xie Kangxi gave birth to him once.

"You, get up." Kangxi patted the place beside him: "Sit."

"Yeah." Fourteen leaned over and sat down: "Huang Ama, I have asked brother Jiu, he is just a fool, he values ​​brotherhood, he originally wanted to please you, but who knows? Something happened."

"I know that Lao Ba's bird was ruined by Lao San's people, huh! Lao San has read a lot of books for nothing." Kangxi had already investigated it clearly: "But Lao Ba didn't send people to pay attention to it carefully. Look, otherwise there will be no accidents, and Lao Ba can hardly escape the blame."

At that time, Ba Ye was thinking about how to operate after restoring his image, and also heard the rumor that the Ministry of Households wanted to recover the owed money, and was thinking about what to do with this news. For Yuzhu Haidongqing, Ba Ye Although I also like it, it is not enough to send people to guard it conscientiously.

Unexpectedly, the third master took advantage of the loophole.

The third master and the eighth master are competitors, and the third master sees that he can't do it, and it immediately becomes a bad situation. No. It's not the turn of Lao Ba!

So the third master acted as a shit-stirring stick, and the eighth master suffered a lot.

But in this way, Kangxi was angry!

Kangxi felt that these were all unfilial sons, so he murmured to his fourteenth son: "They are all heartless things."

The Fourteenth Master thought for a while: "Brother's brain is not good. I still remember that Zhang Mingde, who said that the Eight Kings, the Eight Kings are big, but my son formed a Big Eight for him."

"Zuo narrow!" Kangxi couldn't help laughing. He was very angry about what happened back then, but after seeing the "big bastard" of the Fourteenth Master, he stopped being angry. The old eight's intelligence is limited.

I didn't even notice this, so I'm still a prince?Crown Prince?future emperor?Go dreaming!

"Now it seems that the mynah is getting more and more demented." The fourteenth master didn't say anything good about the old eighth.

"I'm not demented yet, why is he demented!" Kangxi said angrily, "Have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"I want to recover the money owed by the household department."

"Understood, Prince Yong is Erchen's elder brother, and brother Thirteen, hehe."

"The two of them will tell you the truth. There are so many people asking about it, but their mouths are rigid and they didn't give a word." Kangxi knew that they had a good relationship: "However, I shut your mouth tightly. After the first month of the lunar year, the decree will be issued, and then... I will go on a northern tour."

The Fourteenth Master opened his mouth wide: "Huang Ama, are you going to run away?"

"Tell me the truth!" Kangxi rolled his eyes at him: "If I don't leave the capital, those people won't be able to come before me. Then, I...it will be difficult for me."

They are all old relatives, all veterans, begging him one by one, what can he do?

"Huang Ama, don't go out this year. Why don't you live in the garden. The garden is beautiful and well guarded. If you don't see anyone, they can still come to you?" The fourteenth master said: " You were in poor health last year, so don’t go out on inspections these few years, your body is in bad shape after tossing around.”

"That's why you dare to tell me the truth." No one else would persuade the emperor not to go on a northern tour, at least not so blatantly.

"Huang Ama, just listen to your son once, and let's talk about it after raising your health." Fourteenth Master said: "Besides, you are collecting debts. Where are the creditors hiding? The debtors are showing off at home?"

Kangxi said depressedly: "Isn't this embarrassing?"

"What's there to save face? If they borrow money from your private treasury, I will never ask, let alone a few million taels of silver, even tens of millions of taels of silver, I don't care, but that is In the treasury of the Qing Dynasty, every penny in there is the hard-earned money of the common people, Huang Ama, what you want is not the money owed by the household department, but the hard-earned money of the common people." Fourteenth Master was excited He said: "Why can they wipe away their face if they owe money, but you can't?"

Kangxi thought about it: "You are right, I can't avoid it, why should I avoid it?"

The old man was overwhelmed by Fourteen's flickering enthusiasm, and he didn't go out to make inspections. He just stayed in Changchun Garden, waiting for his fourth and thirteen sons to collect debts for him.

"Take mine and bring it back to me, and eat mine and spit it out for me. The record in the sparkling red star has become the dialogue at this time!" The fourteenth master shook his head, and walked out of the palace bouncingly, with the tongue still in his mouth. Humming a song: "Make up for what you owe me, and hand over what you stole from me...."

When he sang "Hee Shua Shua", he was still twisting his body like a twisted hip, which made people look sideways.

There are people in the palace who are always watching the movement of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Staring at the Lord Long Live is not acceptable, that is called "peeping at the holy trace" and they will be beheaded; but people who stare at the Lord Long Live are not afraid.

For example, Fourteenth Master, Prince Xun.

Although Prince Xun has a high position and authority, he is young, he can't hide his words, and he is so flamboyant after his birthday. I heard that people who went to Prince Xun's mansion to give gifts today lined up in a long queue, and Prince Xun's mansion Well, all comers are welcome.

You are a high-ranking official, and Prince Xun's residence accepted the gift you gave me.

You are a common man, and Prince Xun's Mansion accepted the basket of eggs you gave me.

You are a wealthy businessman, and what you sent were rare treasures, and Prince Xun's residence also accepted them.

This is the attitude of Prince Xun's Mansion. They are all here to celebrate the fourteenth Lord's birthday. This cannot be pushed out. The most eye-catching thing is the birthday gift from Prince Yong's Mansion: a jade screen with eight Changchun Ruyi; A pair of Fu Lu Shou vases fired from the official kiln during the Jiaqing period of the Ming Dynasty; a nine-linked sapphire ruyi incense burner; a multicolored dragon mink fur robe;

A pair of multicolored Guanyin vases; a pair of flat peach silver crystal plates...

Brother Honghui gave his fourteenth uncle a peach amethyst fairy mountain ornament and a wishful jade birthday star.

Tuantuan, her own niece, gave her fourteenth uncle's four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum to lead hands and backs to make a bed.

1000 taels of silver, 100 taels of gold.

One hundred catties of silver noodles, one hundred catties of gold noodles.

There are also twenty bolts of silk and brocade silks of various colors, all of which are good materials for tribute.

No one can give more than Prince Yong's.

Prince Yong sent it blatantly, he went out from his own house to carry the gift, the front entered the gate of Prince Xun's mansion, and the ones behind him hadn't left the warehouse of Prince Yong's mansion yet.

There are many things, many styles, and the expensive ones make people dazzled.

Jiuye's gift was very vulgar, a pair of half-human tall golden statues, a birthday man, a birthday woman, and a pair of golden men, big and shiny, were sent here.

Shi Ye’s gift was ingenious, it turned out to be a thangka, this is not the “quick-made” thangka of Concubine De, this thangka was carefully crafted for more than half a year, it means ten blessings, ten blessings believe in Buddha, think Buddha statues It is inconvenient to move, but it is not as convenient as thangka, which can be hung on a carriage.

Bless the Fourteenth Master, be safe and healthy.

Thirteenth Lord's gift was also special enough. He bought two hundred catties of spicy beef jerky and sent it to Fourteenth Lord.

The other gifts were prepared by Thirteen Fujin, and everything was complete.

And Kangxi also rewarded Shisi a lot of things. There are many good things in the palace, such as white jade embossed mountain sons, jasper auspicious beast vases, there are many rewards, especially a pair of Mi Fu's calligraphy "Shu Su "Tie" and Ju Ran's "Landscape Map", these two calligraphy and paintings are things that Prince Cheng has always been thinking about.

He begged Kangxi several times, and wanted Kangxi to reward him. For this reason, he did not hesitate to study hard and excel in his homework.

Unfortunately, Kangxi never nodded.

I have been thinking about it until now, but Kangxi rewarded Shisi.

Mi Fu's copybooks are worth a fortune in the market!

Juran's "Shanshui Tu" is famous all over the world.

"You fourteenth brat, what do you know? Can you appreciate calligraphy and painting?" Prince Cheng was so angry that he was about to go crazy. In his life, he had no hope of being the crown prince, so he was obsessed with learning and loved writing, calligraphy and painting.

"Why are you angry?" Princess Cheng came in unhappily: "I sent someone to deliver the birthday gift for the fourteenth brother."

"You still gave him a gift?" Prince Cheng was not happy.

"Everyone will give it away, but if Prince Cheng's mansion doesn't give it away, you will be in the limelight again." Princess Chengqin is still not happy, she thinks that her prince has gone crazy.

Last time, he lost his share and dividends in a few words, and now he doesn't want to make up for it, and has a bad relationship with Fourteen. Now Fourteen is in the limelight, and everyone is looking at him.

I don't know what the prince is thinking in his heart, Princess Cheng shook the handkerchief in his hand: "You, love is as unhappy as you want, but this is a reciprocal gift, which cannot be missed."

Didn't show respect, what a dead end?

The choking Prince Cheng couldn't say a word. Since there was no dividend, the princess reduced the expenses of the mansion, and all the literati's money for drinking and drinking was gone.

The life of Prince Cheng is actually not so comfortable.

But Prince Xun's life is very comfortable!

"If only I had my birthday every day." The fourteenth master looked at the gift list and smiled happily, seeing his teeth but not seeing his eyes.

Nian Gengyao also gave a generous gift, and got the treatment of supper with Master Fourteen.

It's a pity that the good days have passed not long ago. Just after eating pork head meat, Kangxi told his ministers: Check the money owed by the household department.
