First Prince of Qing Dynasty

According to the plan, the Yujia Club will stay in Suzhou for ten days, and depart for Beijing on the ninth day of November. Due to the sudden incident between Zhu and Wei, the itinerary has changed, and the return date has been delayed.

After the injury was almost healed, Yinfeng first went to the medical office to visit the people injured in the fire, and then went to the teahouse in micro-clothes.Today's Jinhe Tea House is completely different from what it was more than half a month ago.More than half a month ago, the Zhao couple died, Zhao Qingyun was framed by rumors, the business of the teahouse was bleak, and no one dared to enter.

Since the debate that day, teahouse customers have come like a cloud.Some of these guests came for Zhao Qingyun's reputation of being "very loyal and filial", and some of them came for Kangxi and Yinfeng.After all, this is the place where the emperor and the prince visited in private.It is the same as the effect of a restaurant in later generations saying that a certain leader and a certain star also had meals here.

What Yinreng wanted this time was Tianzi No. [-] wing, but he was told that Tianzi No. [-] wing was already occupied as soon as he opened his mouth.

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Now everyone knows that the Tianzi No. [-] wing room is the place where the emperor stayed with the prince, everyone wants the Tianzi No. [-] room, and if they say it, they have lived in the same room with the emperor and the prince. Therefore, today’s No. [-] room is very tight, if you want it, you have to wait until a month later.”

Yinfeng: ...

"But it's a coincidence that the young master came here. We still have room No. [-] with a yellow character. If you don't mind, I will ask Xiaoer to lead you there?"

Yinfeng can only nod his head, as long as there is a wing room.

When passing the hall, I happened to hear a young guest chatting with someone.

"I was in the teahouse that day, so I saw the prince. It's a pity that the emperor didn't show up."

"Really? I really envy you. That's the prince. Who in our life can be lucky enough to see the prince once. I really regret it. Why didn't I come that day! What does the prince look like? Tell me quickly!"

"Naturally, it is a stately appearance and a talent."

Yinfeng's footsteps paused slightly, and he turned his head to look at the young man. The young man noticed his gaze, and looked over at the same time, with a face of confusion, so: "Little brother, why are you looking at me like this? But there is something on my face?"

Yinfeng:? ? ?Didn't you say you met me?Don't you know me?

Yinfeng shook his head in doubt, and continued to follow Xiaoer to the wing room. Xiaoer explained: "The guest officer comes to the teahouse every day to show off that he has seen the prince. What is there to be proud of? Who has never seen it. The prince is here. It's our teahouse, and those of us who work in the teahouse don't know better than him. Have we publicized it everywhere? Hmph!"

Yinfeng looked sideways: "Have you seen the prince too?"

Xiaoer raised his chest: "Of course. On the day the prince came, I happened to be working in the front hall."

Yinfeng: ...

After Xiaoer served the tea and retreated, Yinzhi couldn't help it anymore, and burst out laughing: "Why are these people so funny, they all said they had seen the second brother, but the second brother stood in front of them, and no one recognized him. "

Yinzhen was not surprised: "Second elder brother is the prince after all. He was standing upstairs that day, and they were downstairs. There was a certain distance between them. Besides, they didn't dare to raise their heads openly when they were kneeling. Just look at it." One or two eyes, because of the lighting problem and the awe in my heart, I didn't see the real thing at first, and the impression has become even weaker in the past few days."

Yinrong knocked on the table: "Stop talking about it, just listen to the book."

It is said that the book is the real purpose of their visit this time.What we are talking about today is precisely the collusion between Zhu and Wei and foreigners.

Yinfeng's beating of Zhu and Wei was under the watchful eyes of everyone, and he did not block the news afterwards, nor did he keep the guards secret, so what he did and said that day spread quickly.Yinfeng not only did not stop, but also pushed secretly.

In recent years, he has repeatedly borrowed storytelling books and operas to guide public opinion, using them as a means of state propaganda.Nowadays, the storytelling industry of folk stories is flourishing.Therefore, after the news spread, Kungfu has not only been known throughout the city in a few days, but also many derivative stories have appeared.

What the storyteller said today is one of them, and it was Yinfeng who did it himself.

But with the foundation of the script, how to make it a storytelling that the public loves to listen to also requires skill.The storyteller of Jinhe Tea House has worked in this industry for more than ten years, and he knows the skills of storytelling very well, especially how to arouse the emotions of the audience.The audience unknowingly followed his lead, feeling anxious for a while, nervous for a while, secretly resentful for a while, and happy for a while.

After the story was finished, everyone clapped their hands and applauded: "This kind of traitorous bastard should be beaten hard. It's fine to rebel, but he still colludes with foreigners. What if foreigners kill him!"

"What should we do? Didn't you hear what Mr. Shu said? Foreigners bombarded our country, the people were reduced to fish and meat, and we are in deep water and fire. What do you think can be done? Either die, or life is worse than death."

"Even if you haven't experienced the invasion of foreigners, at least you know Zhanluan? You should know the situation of Zhanluan in the past dynasties and generations. In the past, Zhanluan, no matter who wanted to fight for the world, for them, they needed people How much will they consider the hearts of the people. Foreigners are different, they only look at the rich supplies of our Qing Dynasty, as for us, do they care?"

Thinking of the situation described in the script, many people shivered.

Someone became resentful: "We managed to live a good life, and we were almost ruined by this Zhu. This Zhu deserves to be hacked into pieces. Letting him die so easily is too cheap for him."

"It's been a long time since the previous dynasty. This Zhu family is really wicked."

"That's wrong. Zhu and Wei can't represent the Zhu family. His grandfather is just a remote clan. Back then, his grandmother was separated from his grandfather. His father said he was the son of the clan. I heard that two years had passed since he found his father." , is it true, who knows?"

"It is said that when Li Zicheng invaded the capital, Zhu Hewei's grandmother hid in a Zhuangzi for a year. Could it be that time..."

"Who can say for sure about this kind of thing now. I think his identity is 200% doubtful. Otherwise, his character is too different from the Zhu family. Counting more than [-] years ago, the sixteen emperors, who are like him Same? Emperor Chongzhen died and hanged himself, what did he do? Traitorous and colluding with foreigners!"

Someone frightened: "Brother, be careful what you say. Your words are inappropriate. After all, the previous court is the previous court. Is your tone too..."

"What? Show respect to the previous court? Brother, have you forgotten that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this first. Although it is the previous court, among other things, they did not cede land and pay tribute, nor proclaim themselves ministers with their relatives. On this point, they have really done it. This is a fact. The prince admits it, and we have to admit it too.

"What's more, in recent years, the imperial court has opened up a lot of words. As long as it doesn't incite the people to misbehave, they won't be punished for their words. Otherwise, how do you think we can sit here and talk about Zhu Hewei and the prince? Don't worry. The emperor and the prince have big hearts. It's here. It's Zhu and Wei..."

The young man paused for a moment, and snorted coldly, "Whether he is from the Zhu family or not, he deserves to die. To be precise, no matter who he is, what his surname is, or what his status is, anyone who commits treason should die. Zhu and Wei are like this. If there are Chen Hewei, Li Hewei, Guan Hewei in the future, it will be the same."

In the wing room, Yinfeng slightly hooked his lips.Yinzhi was very surprised, turned around and asked, "Second brother, they..."

Yinfeng nodded slightly.Yinzhi knew that today's play was driven by Yinreng, and there must be someone from him in the crowd to guide him.

Yinzhi was puzzled: "Why did the second brother speak for Qianming? And that Zhu Hewei, is his identity really in doubt?"

Yinfeng shook his head: "Maybe."

Yinzhi:? ? ?perhaps?

Yinzhen explained: "The second brother didn't want people to think that he punished Zhu and Wei because of his identity. So he deliberately blurred Zhu and Wei's bloodline. This is also to focus everyone's attention on colluding with foreigners in an attempt to betray the country. above, rather than his status as a descendant of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty."

Yinfeng's expression flickered, Yinzhen was right, his purpose was indeed the same, but there was one more thing.He only hated Zhu and Wei.Although the sixteen emperors of the former Ming Dynasty were not without criticism.But at least Zhu and Wei should not be burdened by the integrity they have kept in what they have done.

In particular, he still expects to continue this integrity in this dynasty.So he also wanted to use the previous dynasty as a benchmark.The rulers of this dynasty always have some grudges against the rulers of the previous dynasty.That being the case, he must be unwilling to lose to the previous dynasty.How can this dynasty fail to do what the previous dynasty could do?Even if you haven't done it before, you must do it in the future!

Yinzhi suddenly realized: "Second brother deliberately outlined the scene of the invasion of foreigners in the script, is that why?"

Yinfeng nodded: "Do you think the punishment for dragging Zhu and Wei alone is serious? Do you think it is serious? Do you think these alone can stop other people's traitorous acts in the future?"

Without waiting for Yinzhi to answer, Yinfeng said again: "Perhaps ordinary people will be afraid because of this, but what about the royal family? If inviting foreign enemies to invade can help you win the emperor, do you think someone will take this risk? You are not so naive as to think that Only Zhu and Wei can do these things, others can't. For example..."

Yinfeng paused, and slowly spit out six words: "The one in the imperial tomb."

Yinzhi was startled.

Yinfeng sneered: "What's the use of setting the punishment as high as possible? It's all the result of defeat, but what if he succeeds? Not only will he not be punished, but he can also sit on the supreme throne. Such a temptation, Do you think the one in the imperial mausoleum will do it? And will I love the descendants of the Xinjueluo family?"

Yinzhi's expression suddenly became serious, he opened his mouth and didn't know how to speak.He knew very well that the answer was yes.

Under the temptation of the throne, Zhu and Wei will meet, the eldest brother will meet, and many people will.No one can guarantee that the Aixinjueluo family will not have such unworthy descendants.

Yinfeng sighed: "So Gu must let the people know the harm of inviting foreign enemies to invade, and make the people of the Qing Dynasty feel ashamed of inviting foreign enemies to invade, and hate such acts.

"It is necessary to let the whole country form a unified understanding, and tell them that if someone does this, regardless of their status, regardless of their ethnic blood, the whole world will punish them.

"When this kind of thinking is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, when their hatred of traitors is unprecedentedly high, even to the point of unending death. Even if someone becomes ambitious and greedy, they will think twice before acting.

"Because the people are the foundation, even if he obtains the honor from foreign forces, the people will not accept him, and he will not be able to sit still. He plans hard on his own, not to mention failure, even if he succeeds, it is likely to be nothing in the end. The feasibility is too low. Only in this In this case, they will be afraid."

While discussing here, the discussion downstairs has not stopped.And at this time, the center of public conversation has shifted from Zhu and Wei to foreigners.

"I've said a long time ago that those weird-looking foreigners don't have any good things!"

"That's right, everyone with blond hair and blue eyes is not pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at them. Don't you all say that people who are not of our race must have different hearts."

"This is a bit extreme. You can't implicate all foreigners because of one person's actions, and you can't implicate all foreign countries because of Ferris' actions."

"I heard that this time besides the Duke, there are three digital masters who came to Daqing. They purely admired the talent of His Highness the Crown Prince and admired the culture of Qing Dynasty. They didn't know about Duke Rex's plot. They became Duke Rex's tools in a daze. After knowing the truth, they regretted it very much and were very angry at Rex's actions."

"That's right. Don't there be good foreigners in the storybook? They didn't burn, kill and plunder like other foreigners. Instead, they helped the people of our country escape and adopted homeless orphans."

"Then there are many vicious and sinister foreigners in the scriptures! Which of the things they have done to the people of our country is not the anger of man and god?"

The "spies" hidden in the crowd came forward at the right time: "So we need to discuss people based on people and things based on facts. Just like there are good people and bad people in our country, there are also good and bad among foreigners."

"Yes. What is said in the story book may be just a fiction. But I am a businessman. I have been in the sea trade business these years, and I have come into contact with many foreigners. Some people are innocent and have sinister means, but some are kind-hearted, upright and polite. This is what happened to him when he found a foreigner friend. He was stunned when he learned about Rex’s move, and his disgust was no less than ours.”

"Therefore, I suggest that everyone treat the matter of foreigners calmly. For foreigners, we need to be vigilant, but we don't have to take extreme actions. If they are kind foreigners, we can make friends. If they are sinister foreigners, how do they treat us? How can I return it!"

"Yes! That's right! I am a great country with a big heart, and I have a big heart. The kind are friends, and the evil are enemies. Just like the Duke of Rex, they dare to treat me like this. They must make them pay the price !"

……

Wing.Yinreng put down his teacup and breathed a sigh of relief.He portrayed the scene of foreigners' invasion in his storybook in order to warn the public.If this is not the case, the public has no idea of ​​the consequences of the foreign invasion, how can they form a warning?However, with Rex's behavior in the front and the script in the back, it is easy to arouse people's disgust with foreigners.

This is what Yinfeng does not want to see.He has always believed that there are good and bad people, regardless of national origin; he also always believes that the strength of a country should be reflected in all aspects, not just military and material, but also spiritual.The real strong are confident but not conceited, tolerant but not conniving, sympathetic to the weak but not afraid of the strong.

What's more, now that the Qing Dynasty has frequent trade with foreign countries, he still counts on foreigners to harvest leeks.After several years, it has finally achieved its current economic status and allowed the Qing Dynasty to develop into the prototype of an international economic center. How can it be abandoned halfway?

Do the whole people want to return to the closed country?

No, absolutely impossible!

Yinreng looked at Yinzhen: "Judging from today's situation, it's not bad."

Yinzhen understood in his heart: "I will let them continue to advance, and I will also pay attention to the speed."

"I don't worry about your work."

Yin Reng narrowed his eyes, this brother is really useful!

Yinzhi: ... What about me?Am I here to make up the numbers?

Today's discussion does not only happen in Jinhe Tea House, let alone in Suzhou.It swept across the country with the force of the wind.

In a town in eastern Zhejiang.

An old man stood in a daze at the door of the restaurant, and the matter of Zhu Hewei and foreigners was being discussed in the restaurant.He didn't go in, just listened outside for a while.Now that Zhu Hewei's identity is exposed, what he did is well known.Discussions about this matter spread from Suzhou all over the south of the Yangtze River, and even spread to all parts of the country.

Everyone scolded him for being unkind and unrighteous, and said that he was different from the previous kings of the Ming court, and even mentioned the prince's remarks that day and the respect for the Ming court revealed in his words.

The old man's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he returned to calm.

A seven or eight-year-old boy came out of the building with a wine gourd: "Grandpa, the wine is ready."

The old man came back to his senses slowly, and took his hand: "Then let's go."

On the way, the boy was very curious: "Grandpa, I heard that everyone in the restaurant is scolding that Zhu Hewei. Did he really do such a bad thing?"

The old man paused, stopped, bent down and looked at him with a gentle but serious expression: "Yes. So Huai'er must not learn from him."

The boy nodded: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will not learn from him."

"Grandpa told you that one should live without shame. There are some things you can do, and some things you can't do. It is to have what you want and what you want, and you can use strategies and methods, but you can't lose your principles and bottom line. No matter how big the temptation is, No, it won’t work either. Huai’er has to remember it for the rest of her life. No matter what happens in the future, she must never forget it.”

"Okay. I'll listen to grandpa and remember it forever."

The corner of the old man's mouth was raised, a slight smile was drawn, and he patted the boy's head: "Huai'er is so good. Let's go, let's go to the soy sauce shop on East Street to buy your favorite sauced meat."

"Really? But my mother said that I just ate it two days ago, and I was not allowed to eat it. The money at home is not enough for me to spend like this. I still have to study."

"It's okay. If your mother asks, she will say that grandpa bought it greedily. Grandpa has silver money with him. Grandpa can teach, and your father can too. Our family can afford it."

Most importantly, it is easier to make money now than before, and pork is cheaper than before.

Looking at the smiles of passers-by on the road and the thriving shops on both sides, the old man looked dazed and sighed.

In any case, he had to admit that this generation of emperors and princes had managed the country well, and the lives of the people are much better now than in the last years of the previous dynasty.

The old man looked down at the boy, holding the little hand with his big hand, and clenched it unconsciously.

He is old, has a son, has a grandson, life is plain but happy.

That's enough.
