Chapter 167: The Tong Family
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen was burdened with the "heavy responsibility" handed over by Concubine De and left Yonghe Palace with a very complicated heart, although he was very unhappy about the fact that the third elder brother Yinzhi was canonized as the king of Doro County and he was canonized as Dorobelle, but the fourth elder brother Yinzhen is not comparable to ordinary people in the end, except for Concubine De, no one can guess what he thinks after knowing this.

That is, because of this matter directly related to his own interests, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen never thought that Concubine De would calculate herself in the marriage of the fifth princess, and no matter how you look at Concubine De, she shows a motherly face, and she can have the Tong family, known as "Tong Banchao", to receive relatives, this is a good thing that no number of people can grab, no one will have the same idea as Concubine De, and naturally no one will see that Concubine De is calculating the fourth elder brother Yinzhen.
And although the Tong family is a national uncle, many people are in high positions and power, and no one dares to mess with them. But being high and powerful does not mean that it is a good family, from the performance of the Tong family in history, this family believes in the concept of "noble self" and "for me" of Yang Zi's Yang Zhu school, and pays attention to "plucking a hair and benefiting the world, not for it." ”
To put it bluntly, everything is self-contained, my interests are higher than anyone else, including the emperor, as long as someone hinders my interests, then don't blame me for being unkind, I don't care if you are the emperor or an in-law.
However, the current Tong family still pays a little attention to the appearance of eating, so that it will not be so ugly.
You must know that in the past few years, the Tong family's eating appearance was called an ugly, so it was targeted, Tong Guogang was killed on the battlefield of Galdan because of this, although this made the second room of the Tong family grasp the Tong family's right to speak, but it is a very big loss for the entire Tong family, although Tong Guogang is indeed very selfish and a little villain, but his ability is still very good, coupled with his internal minister, the identity of the Han army with a yellow flag, which makes the Tong family have an advantage in many things, and it is a pity that it is gone.
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen was raised by Queen Xiaoyi back then, although the Tong family has not been close to him in recent years, but he is still very familiar with the fourth elder brother Yinzhen of the Tong family, and naturally knows what kind of virtue that family is.
The emperor's pinching of Empress Xiaokangzhang in the palace back then will not be said, because the fourth elder brother Yinzhen is not clear, and this also involves Emperor Shunzhi, Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, Concubine Dong E and a large number of people, and they can't figure it out at all.
But what happened to Queen Xiaoyi in the palace back then was seen by the fourth elder brother Yinzhen with his own eyes, and they all said that the close relationship between Queen Xiaoyi and the emperor is not comparable to half of the cousins, for example, the relationship between Xiao Tong Jia, who is also a cousin, and the emperor is far less close than that between the emperor and Queen Xiaoyi, but there is a reason behind this intimacy.
The reason is that when the emperor was out of the palace to recuperate, he lived in Tong Guowei's house, and during that time, the emperor and Queen Xiaoyi could be said to be playing together, and the two had a good relationship, which can be said to be childhood sweethearts.
It looks like everything is very beautiful, isn't it?
However, there is a big problem in this, that is, Tong Guowei is obviously the second room of the Tong family, and as the second son at that time, he is not qualified to inherit everything in the family, the Tong family is inherited by the eldest son Tong Guogang, and the two brothers were both in the capital at that time and were not in the field.
But the emperor is recuperating, not with Tong Guogang, the head of the Tong family, but with Tong Guowei, which ...... You know, smallpox is contagious and kills!
Fools know there's a problem.
And so the contradiction came!
Although Tong Guogang is the eldest son, there is not much difference in age from Tong Guowei, and it is completely negligible in the Kangxi Dynasty.
Obviously, Tong Guowei took the risk of contracting smallpox to take care of the emperor desperately, but after the emperor ascended the throne, Tong Guogang immediately attacked the third-class Jingqi Nihafan, awarded the minister of the interior, and in the sixteenth year of Kangxi, he became the first-class duke, and in the twentieth year of Kangxi, he was awarded the Yellow Banner Han Army. Each of these is a fat difference. And Tong Guowei lost a daughter to enter the palace, but he was awarded the Minister of the Interior in the ninth year of Kangxi, and the Minister of the Interior and the Minister of Parliament in the twenty-first year of Kangxi. waited for his daughter to pass away, and then pushed the favor and made a first-class duke.
If you are Tong Guowei, do you feel good?
It's definitely not going to be good!
I take all the risks, and you get the benefits.
Therefore, after Tong Guogang's death, Tong Guowei did not miss his brother at all, and immediately began to compete for the Tong family's right to speak and family power.
If it weren't for Tong Guogang's eldest son Oro Dai, I'm afraid that Tong Guowei would really be able to cover the sky with one hand and step on the big house to death, although the relationship between father and son in front of Tong Guogang was bad, and Tong Guogang asked the emperor to kill Oro Dai, Oro Dai has a strong and arrogant personality, but this person still has the ability, although he lost to the position of the head of the Tong family, but he stubbornly guarded the first-class duke title of the Han army with the yellow flag and Tong Guogang.
Brothers are like this, do you think the Tong family will be polite to others?
The Tong family has relied on the emperor's favor over the years, but it has offended many people, not to mention it in the court, the actions of the harem have offended many veteran exploits, which is why Xiao Tong Jia's family was canonized as a concubine in the 39th year of Kangxi, but he could not control the power of the palace like the previous Empress Renxiao, Empress Xiaozhao and Empress Xiaoyi.
At that time, Empress Renxiao and Empress Xiaozhao married in because they were weak and wanted to win over the ministers to balance the government and the opposition, and then whether it was in addition to Ao Bai or Ping Sanban, the Hesheri clan and the Niu Hulu clan made a lot of efforts, not only these two families, but also the concubine Li family, Jing Concubine Wang Jia's family, Rong Concubine Ma Jia's family, Hui Concubine Nala's and other concubines' maiden families all contributed to their efforts, so this person can stand out and become a concubine.
But what did the Tong family do back then!
In addition to waving the flag and shouting for the emperor on the side, they are not even as good as Nalan Mingzhu, who fully supports the emperor's various measures, and the Tong family was still suspected of being grass on the wall at that time.
Under such circumstances, the great enemy has been defeated, and the Tong family has nothing to do and wants to come out and pick the sweetest fruit of victory, how big a face do you have! Naturally, other people cannot agree, but the Tong family insists on relying on their relationship with the emperor to overwhelm everyone, and it is strange that others will be happy in their hearts, which naturally offends others.
Therefore, when the Tong family wanted to push Empress Xiaoyi to the throne of the queen at that time, they were opposed by countless people, and there were all kinds of reasons, such as having no children, not having enough qualifications, not having enough virtue, and saying everything.
