Chapter 288: Organizing a Banquet
Kangxi fifty-one years, destined to be an unquiet year, after Kangxi issued an edict to strictly investigate the Jiangnan corruption case, sent the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother to investigate in person, which lasted several months, and found out most of the killing, killing the one who should be killed, and the one who should be closed. On September 30, on the day Kangxi returned to Beijing from his inspection of Saiwai, he announced to the princes: "Since the restoration of the crown prince Yinren, the previous arrogance has not been eliminated, so that it is a great disappointment, and the foundation of the ancestors can never be entrusted to him." I have reported it to the Queen Mother, and now I want to detain Yinren and guard it. "On November 16, Emperor Kangxi sent officials to abolish the crown prince and sue the heavens and earth, Taimiao, and Sheji.
The prince was deposed again and confined in the mansion, and Jingzhong became depressed because of this, and Kangxi's mood was also not good, even for the New Year, there was not much joy, so he entered the fifty-second year of Kangxi.
The first month has just come out, and he loves Xinjueluo for Kangxi's fifteenth son? On the big day of Yinyu's marriage, this youngest brother of Kangxi is also a legend, and the Fujin he married is also a legend.
A brother who was born deaf did not grow up in the court when he was a child, but since he returned to the palace, even if he was deaf in both ears, but all the masters who taught him, but no one did not praise his talent and intelligence, when everyone in the world had high hopes for this brother, he went overseas at the age of eleven, and went for seven years, and then returned to the Qing Dynasty, and then tried his best to kill the pirates of the Qing Dynasty.
This Manchu Qing Dynasty has that girl of the right age, which one is not looking to be able to enter his eyes, but when this makes people fall through the glasses, there are so many yellow flower girls who have not left the cabinet for you to choose. In the end, this one actually married a widow who watched the door as a concubine, but it was just right. The emperor also personally decreed marriage.
Compared with the thirteenth elder brother of the year, the fifteenth elder brother's dowry. It is even more mouth-watering, but Rao is the abolished prince Yinren, who has not said a word, who let them not have a mother who can make money, and they do not have the fifteenth elder brother's way of making money.
As for the Kong family, how many people shook their heads and sighed, only saying that Feng Heng's good cabbage was arched by a pig, of course, thinking about Kong's identity, they all sighed that this female Kong family married into the royal family. It must be the share of being excluded. Everyone is waiting for the news of the discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the scene of concubines fighting each other, so that there will be more topics in the capital, but strangely, this Kong family has been married to the royal family for a month, and there has been no news at all.
However, in March, seeing that the Kangxi Longevity Festival was imminent, Emperor Kangxi thought: Since the Qin and Han dynasties, there are three hundred and ninety emperors. "Enjoy the long, not as long as me". It was decided to hold a grand and pompous celebration of longevity. The colorful canopy erected for the celebration stretches from Xizhimen to Changchun Garden, which is 20 miles long. The Ministry of Rites made a special stipulation: "This year, I congratulate you on the 60th anniversary of longevity." is unusual and comparable", from the first day of March to the end of the month, Beijing officials have to wear python robes and mend gowns. Break the routine of wearing only court clothes for seven days. The most striking thing is: Emperor Kangxi announced the elderly in the world, those over 65 years old. Regardless of the government and the people, they can rush to the capital on time to participate in the banquet in Changchun Garden.
For this reason, both the front and the harem. All entered a strict state, and the celebration was set in Changchun Garden, which was fully controlled by Fengli, and the Prince of Yong, Fujin Nala, the thirteenth elder brother Fujin Zhaojia, and the fifteenth elder brother Fujin Kong who had just entered the door co-organized.
Hearing such an order made Concubine Yi and the fourth concubine in the Forbidden City extremely depressed, thinking that for so many years, Kangxi had never let Feng Li interfere in palace affairs, and it must be the same now. can think about Kangxi for so many years, half of the days have lived in Changchun Garden, Changchun Garden's affairs have always been taken care of by Feng Li, so far Kangxi's 60th birthday, such a major day, Kangxi may not necessarily summon them to come to Changchun Garden to deal with it.
Feng Li was a little surprised when he heard Kangxi arrange it like this, Kangxi didn't want her to meddle in palace affairs, and she didn't bother to take care of those things, but in Changchun Garden, she was the only one, Li Dequan was a slave after all, and it was not right to take care of things, so Feng Li had to take it. However, this matter is not small, Kangxi did not let Yi Guifei and the fourth concubine, who are used to banquets, handle it.
"The matter of the Forbidden City is a foregone conclusion, I can't expel the harem for Ah Li, but you are the only hostess of Changchun Garden." Such love words are in the ears, which can be regarded as explaining why Kangxi did not let Concubine Yi and the others come to Changchun Garden to hold a banquet. And Feng Li has such a sentence, not to mention that he is just organizing a banquet, no matter how many things he does, Feng Li can also do it.
But whether it is the Nala clan or the Zhaojia clan, although they know that Feng Li is powerful, Feng Li has never held a palace banquet, this time Kangxi invited the elderly from all over the world, it can be seen that the scene is grand, and for a while, they are also bottomless!
What they didn't expect was that on the first day, Feng Li called them to come to the meeting, and Feng Li said directly: "I have ordered people to report the number of people who participated in the birthday banquet reported from all over the country, how to place them outside, that is the matter of the Ministry of Rites, what we have to do is how to arrange their seats to participate in the banquet." What do you think? ”
Hearing Feng Li's question, the three of them were stunned, and the Nala clan said, "What does the imperial concubine mean to arrange the seats?" ”
"I roughly categorized it, and the seats were divided into counties, and then divided into two, one table of officials and one table of civilians." Feng Li was also very straightforward, and said directly, "At each table, prepare the table cards, the name of the county, the name, and when the Ministry of Rites picks them up and drops them off into the palace, they register and take the cards respectively, and then introduce the seats, so orderly, not afraid of mistakes." What do you think? ”
As soon as the three of them heard it, they all opened up, Nala was only six years old when Feng Li was young, and when they heard Feng Li say such a good way, they thought that Feng Li never interfered in palace affairs on weekdays, and only lived his own life quietly, and he admired Feng Li more and more. A person has the ability, but he can endure loneliness even more, and he does not fight, grab, or press, but it is not respectful.
"If it is the same, the matter is so decided, and then there is the banquet and the show." Feng Li said the same, "On the emperor's 60th birthday, I have prepared a program, and you can agree on the rest." Regarding the banquet, Concubine Yi mentioned to me something called hot pot, and I recognized it very much, and I will take you to see if it is feasible. ”
Feng Li has always controlled the overall situation, and then assigned it to specialize in the art industry. Everyone is responsible for the same, there is not much entanglement. can also make your own decisions, and things can be done more neatly.
It's the three people who were worried about Fengli's actions. At this time, they were all relieved to hear Feng Li's meticulous arrangements, and Feng Li was not a big bag, so he gave them the right things to do, and then let them do things on their own. Really speaking, how to do things, Fengli has pointed out the direction to them, this is obviously done with his heart, this is not for them to give them credit!
They went back to their homes. They all talked about it with their husbands, but they were very consistent, and only told them that the imperial concubine should do things as if she were instructed, and don't worry about it and think about it.
However, Feng Heng knew a lot about his own Eniang, so he said a few more words to the Kong family, "Eniang is not a person who likes to take power in the first place, it is estimated that this is a birthday banquet." It must have been Huang Ama who said a lot of good things to coax Eniang to agree. But E-Niang will definitely do a good job of this birthday banquet for the sake of Amma, and the people and things in the palace are not fun, if you are not sure about anything. Just ask E-Niang, you just married in, E-Niang actually just wants to help you establish your authority as soon as possible. That's why no one dares to look down on you. ”
It's been a month since he got married, and Kong was very nervous. Although he has seen Fengli's side, Fengli is also very gentle. But her mother repeatedly reminded her that a woman can make the emperor vacant in the harem for many years, how can she be a simple character, she entered the palace, she should respect her more, and she must not forget her identity and have no rules because of this superficial gentleness.
Kong has always remembered her mother's advice, but on the second day of marriage, several sisters-in-law from all backgrounds stabbed her a few words, nothing more than saying that she was the identity of the second marriage, she felt uncomfortable, but she still endured, unexpectedly, Feng Li took them as a seizure, and only let them go back to think about it for a month, but if they were not convinced, she didn't mind letting the emperor personally make an order.
After that, she directly talked about the daughter-in-law she chose, she couldn't control the previous things, but if anyone stabbed her daughter-in-law with the previous things all day long, which made people unhappy, then don't blame her for making them unhappy.
I have to say that compared to Feng Heng's youth, even if Feng Heng has always behaved very well to defend the Kong family, Feng Heng's brothers and sisters-in-law are all older than him, plus Feng Heng has always been harmless, and there are really too few people who are afraid of him. But Fengli is different, thinking that Fengli even dares to call Kangxi, Kangxi also spoils Fengli, offends Fengli, they don't have a good life.
At this point, Feng Li's words spread out, and everyone in the palace knew Feng Li's maintenance of the Kong family, whether it was in front of or after the people, no one dared to stab the Kong family with the matter of the Kong family's previous widowhood. Kong is very grateful to Feng Li for this, but wants to be filial piety in front of Feng Li every day, but Feng Li is happy and quiet, even if Feng Heng and Changning Yong'an, she doesn't ask them to come to her, Kong didn't know at first, but even the sister-in-law repeatedly said that she should not always go to Feng Li, Feng Li has something she has to do, she just has to live a good life with Feng Heng.
Listening to Yong'an say this to her with an old face, Kong was very surprised, and he didn't know how the imperial concubine was raised, even if the two sisters-in-law were young, even if they were quiet Changning, they were very precocious, and they knew a lot about it.
"You, follow E-Niang to do things, listen and watch more, and be able to get E-Niang's guidance, that is a great blessing. E-niang refuses to teach me anymore, but she has already taught me what she should teach. Feng Heng smiled and talked to Kong, and the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden. Kong Shi also smiled, "Don't worry, I will learn from Eniang." ”
Feng Heng took Kong's hand, "Although I want to take you to the sea in the future, but ah, the people in this palace are all masters who praise the high and the low, and use some means to make people respect and fear, but it is still necessary." ”
Kong Shi nodded, "The affairs in the palace, E-Niang is not involved, and we are not involved, Ning'er and An'er's side, you watch more." Especially An'er, if you look at her and get entangled with the third young master of the Shi family, you just have to tell me. ”
"An'er is just young and ignorant, and she likes the appearance of the third young master, so why should you worry." Kong thought that this was not uncommon, and her husband was grinding his teeth because of Yong'an's entanglement with the younger brother of the first concubine, so he also persuaded him. The crown prince was abolished and banned, and the princess is no longer the crown princess, the Shi family was originally a wang family, but there was a crown princess of the deposed prince, what will happen in the future, who knows?
Feng Heng said angrily: "You don't know, Ning'er was killed by Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan is the son of Aunt Feng and the person I grew up with, so I won't worry about him, but Shi Hong, who is a Shi family, just because he is good-looking, wants to charm An'er, and I don't want to think about how old he is this year." ”
Kong stopped talking, her husband, who was old and humble outside, would only show his childishness in front of her. "If Shi Hong is about the same, I won't care, but you haven't seen it, he actually made a face at An'er, hmph, even if our An'er doesn't have the title of the princess, it is also the pearl of our family's palm, his impatient An'er look, but every time he is in front of An'er. I don't know what their family has in mind. The second brother was abolished, the Shi family plummeted, of course he was not honest, he just wanted to do everything possible to let Huang Ama reinstate the crown prince, hum, it's really stupid! I just thought that An'er fell in love with Shi Hong's face, and they could have whatever they wanted. ”
In this way, the Kong family's heart was shocked, she knew very little about the major events in the court, and she could be banned from the crown prince again, and the bright tide in the capital was even more severe than before. "Master, is it possible for the second elder brother to re-establish again?"
Feng Heng shook his head, "It's impossible, Ama has already given the second brother a chance, but he didn't grasp it." ”
"Will you get involved in the battle for storage positions?" Kong Shi gritted his teeth, and finally asked, Feng Heng shook his head and looked at Kong Shi, and shook his head firmly, "I won't." Although in the eyes of outsiders, my E-Niang is deeply favored by Amma, and I am not bad, but that throne, E-Niang is not interested, and I am the same. What I said to you in the past has always been counted, and it will not change because the second brother is abolished. ”
Hearing Feng Heng's promise, Kong was relieved, Feng Heng smiled: "Don't worry, when Amma's longevity is over, I will take you out to sea, the sea outside is wide and the sky is high, there are not so many rights to fight, but it is very comfortable." ”
"Well, I believe in you!" Kong said with a smile.
"However, you have to help me take care of An'er." Feng Hengke has not forgotten this important event.
Kong couldn't help laughing, and stepped forward to hug Feng Heng, "Ye Mo Qi'er, I will help Ye watch An'er." ”
"Uh-huh, that's how it should be!" Feng Heng hugged Kong back, what he asked for has always been very simple, E-Niang is happy and happy, marrying a girl with a heart-to-heart, and after having a sister, I hope they will be happy and grow up peacefully. (To be continued......)
