[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes

Yinyou was still very obedient when he went out, sticking tightly in front of Ama.

Kangxi has nothing to do with this sticky man: "What are you doing so close?"

The third elder brother patted his younger brother's head: "Xiao Qi is afraid of getting lost!"

Yinyou can't wait to stick it on his Ama: "This place is different from the capital."

Naturally, this place is different from the capital, the language is different, the customs are different, and even the things sold are different.

Yinyou looked at it strangely, and after a while, he put down his guard against unfamiliar places and began to look around.

He looked around, and the fourth elder brother followed him, buying whatever he liked, and someone paid for him anyway.

The eldest elder brother and the third elder brother walked behind with Kangxi, and it was a pleasure to watch him look around.

Because the weather is too cold, heavy curtains are hung at the entrances of the shops along the street, and there are not many stalls on the side of the road doing small business, just a few here and there, but there are quite a few pedestrians, going from one shop to another.

Yinyou entered a Wenmoxuan, and the porcelain in the study room was naturally inferior to that in the palace, but he took a fancy to an inkstone, so he bought it.

Then they went into an antique shop, the boss saw that they were well dressed, took them for a scam, and used a fake Ru kiln to fool them, and offered to sell them for thousands of taels of silver.

Yinyou often went in and out of the Qianqing Palace. Kangxi always liked to enjoy porcelain, and he did a lot of research on official kilns in various periods. Yinyou learned a lot from his ears and eyes.

He picked up the Ru kiln porcelain vase, touched the bottom of the vase and found the clue: "It's fake."

Then he put the bottle back on the shelf, but as soon as he turned around, he heard a "wow", the bottle fell off the shelf, hit the ground, and broke into pieces.

The third elder brother and the fourth elder brother looked at each other, and they knew that there was a problem, and they turned their heads to look at Kangxi.Kangxi stood there calmly, not saying a word.

There were other customers in the store, and upon hearing this movement, they turned their heads and looked this way.

The shopkeeper came out from behind the counter, looked at Yinyou sharply, and said coldly: "Young master, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately."

Yinyou was not afraid of him, so he repeated what he said just now: "This is fake."

"Young master dropped the baby in our store, and now he says it's a fake, maybe he doesn't want to accompany you."

Yinyou frowned: "I didn't drop the thing, why should I accompany it. Even if I wanted to accompany it, it would not be compensated at the price of Ru Kiln. You are a fake."

He turned his head again, looked at the brothers, and asked, "What's the real price? What's the fake one? I haven't spent money before, so I don't understand these things."

Several clerks in the shop surrounded him when they heard the commotion. Seeing his figure and posture, he didn't want to be an ordinary handyman.

It seems that this trick of blackmailing Pengci is not the first time it has been used, it is still a repeat offender.

Hearing his words, the shopkeeper knew that he was a young son of a rich family, and he thought that he couldn't let him go today: "There is no evidence for your words. You say this bottle is fake, but you have evidence."

Yinyou bent down and picked up a piece of broken porcelain from the ground, and only showed it to Kangxi: "Like the dust that falls after the incense burns out, it is white with a little gray and delicate to the touch. This is the porcelain of Ru kiln. The incense ash body, the incense ash body is the essence and relay feature of Ru kiln porcelain, and all major kilns in the Song Dynasty tried to imitate it, but they could not achieve the perfection of Ru kiln."

He looked down at the bottle again: "I have one of these bottles at home. What kind of crap you are, if you smash it and let everyone hear it, it is worth more than the bottle itself."

"..."

He didn't smash the bottle, it was clearly smashing the field, and the shop assistants took another step forward.

Yinyou stared: "Do you want to do it? The store has been smashed by you."

The shopkeeper was intimidated by his arrogance, and didn't react for a while.

It is common for them to bully customers in their stores. They shoddy goods, sold fakes as real ones, or simply created accidents to make people lose money. They did it a lot.

It's good now that someone who is more horizontal than them came, and they didn't panic at all when they saw the bottle fell.

The shopkeeper showed a sinister smile: "You don't even need to inquire, this street, who is in charge."

Yinyou asked: "Who is in charge?"

Yinyou took another fake Dingyao plate from the shelf and smashed it on the ground with a "bang".

"You call out the one who is in charge, and let me see and see."

"..."

The shopkeeper gritted his molars and shouted, "If you smash something in my shop, you will either lose money or get beaten up..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his eye socket, and then he couldn't open his eyes.

Yinyou punched very fast, surrounded by a circle of fellows, before he even had time to see clearly how the shopkeeper was beaten, Yinyou had already stood back to his original position.

"It's over, can we go?"

The shopkeeper covered his eyes and became angry from embarrassment: "Hit me, don't let any one go, beat hard."

The followers were all outside, and Kangxi was accompanied by only one Wei Zhu, and then his four sons.

This was about to start a fight, Wei Zhu was in a hurry, and was about to say something bold, but it was Kangxi who spoke first.

"Keep it secret." Although the son is looking for trouble again, the old father spoils him.

He glanced at Yinyou: "Come here."

Yinyou returned to Ama's side, Kangxi put his hand on his shoulder: "If you want to smash it, you don't have to do it yourself, just ask someone to come in and smash it."

With such an understatement, several guards rushed in from outside immediately, and after a while, Fengtian Fu Yin brought people over.

At this time, Kangxi had already left with his sons, and only one person was left behind to pass the order: "Everyone will be arrested and interrogated, and Mr. Zhang who is behind him will be found out. Within three days, the case will be presented."

After everyone walked for a while, instead of being angry with what happened just now, Kangxi smiled and said to the third elder brother beside him: "Look, I just said that I can't take this little boy out, because he will cause trouble as soon as he goes out."

The third elder brother glanced at Yinyou, and said half-jokingly: "Ama is wise!"

Big brother nodded Yinyou's forehead from behind: "As long as I go out with you, there will always be something wrong, and there is never a smooth time."

Yinyou shrugged: "You can't blame me, his shelf is slanted. At the beginning, something was touched under the bottle. When you pick it up and put it back, it will slide down."

The fourth elder brother said with a smile: "I don't know how many ordinary people have been harmed by such profiteers. Xiao Qi is punishing evil and promoting good, eliminating harm for the people."

Yinyou held his brother's hand, raised his chin proudly: "That's right, eliminate harm for the people."

A few people walked and chatted, and Yinyou stopped while walking, and turned around abruptly.

They were followed by guards and eunuchs, and everyone was a little surprised to see him turn around, and looked around.

Yinyou tilted his head and looked behind them, and everyone followed him to look behind.

People coming and going behind him were all wearing padded jackets and hats, with half of their faces covered by thick fur collars, so it was impossible to tell who was who.

Yinyou came back to his senses and walked a few steps, then suddenly turned around and walked straight to a person in the distance.

The man was standing in the corner, with a roll of paper under his arm, his shoulders straight.Although he was wearing a bloated padded jacket, it was not difficult to see from his exposed cheeks that this person was very thin.

When everyone saw him walking back, they also turned their heads.

Kangxi did not approach, but only squinted to see what he was going to do.

Yinyou said to the man: "I remember you, just now in front of that antique shop, you were also watching the excitement among the crowd."

The man seemed to be listening to him, but he didn't seem to, his eyes were only fixed on Kangxi's direction.

Before Yinyou could speak again, the man stepped forward and knelt down a few steps away from Kangxi: "Chen Menglei, the guilty minister, sees the emperor."

Kangxi probably didn't realize who Chen Menglei was for a moment: "Take off your hat."

The man took off his hat and scarf according to his words, revealing his whole face.

Yinyou saw that he was a middle-aged man in his 40s. He was indeed very thin, and he looked like a literati.

Kangxi asked again: "What did you take?"

Chen Menglei raised the roll of paper under his arm above his head with both hands: "It is... the poem draft of the guilty minister."

Kangxi asked Wei Zhu to fetch it, and he opened it to take a look, the expression on his face suddenly eased a lot, and Tun ordered: "Take him back to the palace."

Yinyou could tell from his words that he was not from Fengtian Mansion, nor did he speak Northeastern dialect, or even Northern Mandarin.

He turned out to be a southerner and claimed to be a criminal minister, so he was sent here.

Although Yinyou is still a little unfulfilled, but they have been out for such a long time, it is time to go back.

After Kangxi returned, he changed his clothes in Qingning Palace, and immediately summoned Chen Menglei.

He stared at this person for a while, and the more he looked at him, the more familiar he looked: "You are..."

Chen Menglei knelt on the ground: "The guilty minister is from Minxian County, Fujian Province. He was a scholar at the age of 13, a scholar at the age of 19, and a scholar at the age of 30 in the ninth year of Kangxi.

The princes next to me were dumbfounded. They passed the examination as a scholar at the age of 13, passed the examination at the age of 19, and passed the examination at the age of 30. What kind of peerless genius is this?

When he said this, Kangxi had another influence: "I just remembered, you cling to the traitor Geng Jingzhong, you were supposed to be imprisoned and executed, but Xu Qianxue, who was still serving as Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, pleaded for you and was exiled to Fengtian Mansion instead."

Yinyou froze when he heard Xu Qianxue's name, and suddenly thought of Nalan and Gu Zhenguan's plan to save Wu Zhaoqian.

A few years ago, a corruption case broke out in Huguang Governor Zhang Qian, who confessed that he had bribed Xu Qianxue, Gao Shiqi and Chen Tingjing.

These three people are more important to Kangxi than each other.In the end, Kangxi still sheltered the next three.

Xu Qianxue was impeached, and Shangshu asked himself to "release him to the fields", Kangxi agreed, and Gao Shiqi also left the capital in the same year.

Only Chen Tingjing was once again appointed by Kangxi as the censor of Zuodu.

Because of Nalan's relationship, Yinyou had heard too much about Xu Qianxue since he was a child.When I was young, I felt that right and wrong must be clearly distinguished between black and white. As I grew older, I discovered that although this person does have some financial problems, in general, he has a heroic spirit, and he can always stand up for others when they are in trouble. , lend a helping hand.

Later, Yinyou also read many of his poems and articles, and had to be impressed by his talent.

Chen Menglei knocked his head on the ground: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister was wronged!"

Yinyou stood aside, not very interested at first, but when he heard that he was wronged, he immediately pricked up his ears, ready to listen to the story.

Therefore, Chen Menglei roughly talked about the events of the year.

In the thirteenth month of the 13th year of Kangxi, he returned to his hometown to visit his relatives. In March of the following year, Jingnan Wang Geng Jingzhong rebelled in Fuzhou.

Chen Menglei fled to the temple to escape, but Geng Jingzhong sent someone to arrest his father and force him to show up. He had no choice but to go back and become Geng Jingzhong's staff, but he still refused to accept the seal on the pretext of illness.

"The criminal minister had no choice but to cling to Geng Jingzhong and rebel. Please be aware of it, Your Majesty."

If you want to investigate clearly, you don't know where to start. It has been so many years, whether you intend to cling to it or be forced to seek trouble, anyway, the chaos in San Francisco has been settled, and Chen Menglei has been exiled outside the Great Wall for more than ten years, and he has also received what he deserves. punishment.

Kangxi just read his poem manuscript, admired it quite a lot, and showed it to the third elder brother.

The third elder brother was full of praise after seeing it, and was very interested in this person.

Kangxi decided to take him back to the capital.

Chen Menglei was wronged and humiliated. He stayed outside the pass for more than ten years, during which his parents and wives passed away one after another. Finally, one day, he was able to return to the pass.

Kangxi accompanied the Empress Dowager to live in Shengjing for more than ten days, then drove back to Luan and returned to Beijing from Shanhaiguan.

The third elder brother appreciates Chen Menglei's talent very much, and often invites him to give lectures at his side, and also learns about his situation in Toyota.

Yinyou sometimes listened to him. Chen Menglei's main source of income in Fengtian was teaching, but he did not stop reading and writing. Haicheng County Chronicles, Gaiping County Chronicles, etc.

It just so happened that these books were all in his carry-on luggage, and the third elder brother took them to study, and Yinyou also borrowed one.

On this day, they finally came to Shanhaiguan, which is known as "the first pass in the world".

This is the eastern starting point of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, echoing Jiayuguan thousands of miles away, and was considered by the former dynasty to be "the throat of the border county and the guarantee of the capital".

According to the accompanying historian, there was a female general named Qin Liangyu who guarded here in the late Ming Dynasty.

Many Manchu courtiers were quite disdainful after hearing this, saying that the Ming Dynasty sent a woman to guard Shanhaiguan, how could the country not be destroyed?

Yinyou didn't take it seriously, and became very interested in this female general. After returning to the palace, he specifically asked Mr. Fu about this person.

It is learned that she was a soldier all her life, and she was 47 years old when she was stationed in Shanhaiguan, and she was 75 years old when she died, and she was still stationed in Shijie, Chongqing.

He once led troops to a bloody battle with the Qing army in Hunhe.The three brothers, son, daughter-in-law, nephew and others all died in battle.

Mr. Fu also told Yinyou such a story. In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong captured Sichuan, and after proclaiming himself emperor in Chengdu, he sent people to recruit the chieftains in Sichuan.Qin Liangyu had the weakest military force among them, and her subordinates persuaded her to surrender or transfer.

Qin Liangyu refused, vowing to live and die with Shi Jie.Therefore, the troops were divided to guard the dangerous places, and Zhang Xianzhong fought her many times but was repelled by her. Later, his power gradually grew, but he did not dare to approach Shi Jie, which was guarded by Qin Liangyu.

After listening to Yinyou's admiration, the story of the female general Qin Liangyu is even more legendary than Hua Mulan. This is the real heroine, which makes many men feel ashamed.

When they returned to the capital, it was approaching the end of the new year, and the third elder brother's mansion outside the palace had already been built. After the new year, he would also move out of the palace, and then get married, marrying Fujin.

He admired Chen Menglei's knowledge very much, and proposed to Kangxi that he hoped that Mr. Chen could come to his house to serve as a student. Kangxi always believed that it was a good thing for his son to study hard, so he readily agreed.

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the Laba Festival, which is also Yinyou's birthday. Except that he is one year older, his days are no different from previous years. He still reads and practices swords. He goes to the Palace of Compassionate Peace every day to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, and occasionally returns to Chengqian Palace to visit Royal concubine, live a carefree life.

During the Chinese New Year, I moved to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and stayed with the Empress Dowager for half a month, chanted scriptures to Mama Ukuma every day, and chatted with her.

Yinyou also received gifts from Cao Yin and Li Xi. The couple had nothing new, except books and clothes, shoes and hats. One hoped that Yinyou could read more books, and the other hoped that he could be safe.

After the beginning of the new year, it will soon be the season of warm spring and flowers, and Kangxi took everyone to move to Changchun Garden for a short stay.

Yinyou is a little worried, he has three horses now, and they are all three white horses.Except Ta Ri as a pet, who was kept in the backyard of elder brother's house, and the other two horses were handed over to the horse supervisor to take care of them.

However, the person from the Horse Supervisor told him that the blood-sweat horse he brought back from the prairie had a really irritable personality and was always out of tune with other horses.

He can still live in peace with other horses, but he can't get along with Yinyou's former white horse.

Originally, because they were all Seventh Brother's horses, they were locked in a stable. , as a result, they kicked each other's butt to butt all night.

Therefore, Ma Cao could only separate the two.

But when the two horses were separated, they still neighed in the air, stomped on the ground indiscriminately to demonstrate to each other, and once they approached, they immediately fought into a ball.

Ma Cao also said that Brother Seven's former white horse was the most docile among all the horses in the Yumajian.Because the emperor had said hello, Brother Qi had limited legs and feet when he was a child, so the horse he rode must be the one with the best temperament and training.

So, of course, the problem was the other horse he had brought back.

Anyway, this horse made a lot of trouble with the horse inspector all day long, so Brother Qi had to come forward and think of a way.

Yinyou never expected that one day, he would come forward to mediate because of the bad relationship between the two horses.
