Chapter VIII: Political Marriages
"I cherish the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and slightly lose the literary talent; Tang Zong and Song Zu are slightly less coquettish. ”
"A generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle."
"The past, count the romantic characters, and look at the present."
As soon as Martai Ruoxi's words fell, Kangxi asked, "Is this your answer?" ”
Marteruxi thought that he was not satisfied with the answer, and quickly fell to his knees in fright.
Lin Feng knew that Martai Ruoxi was fine, and if Kangxi let people see that he was satisfied with this answer, then the answerers would be more fierce and less auspicious; If Kangxi makes people feel dissatisfied, he has actually recognized this answer in his heart. It's just an imperial trick. Think about it, this is Taizu's poem, which emperor can be unhappy when he hears others evaluate himself like this.
Martai Ruoxi actually used Taizu's poems to evaluate Kangxi, is Kangxi worthy?
"Hahaha......" Kangxi laughed heartily, and Lin Feng secretly said that this was indeed the case.
"This desperate thirteenth sister is nothing more than that. Thirteenth elder brother, in my opinion, this thirteenth sister is not as good as you, but she is just a waste of fame. Kangxi smiled.
The thirteenth elder brother immediately stepped forward and said: "Ruoxi was originally a newborn calf, but she was smart and well-behaved, and when Erchen had this girl, she thought it would be decent, but now Longyan Shengwei has made the girl unable to stand up, which is very rude." It seems that Erchen still puts the name of the desperate thirteenth sister, except that it is more appropriate. ”
Kangxi smiled slightly, looked down, and said: "I am used to hearing Yao Shunyu soup, and when I heard Ruoxi's words today, I also felt very fresh. It seems that you are not only desperate but also knowledgeable. Reward! ”
Everyone retreated and waited in the palace for the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the evening.
Everyone sat together, and it was inevitable that they would look together and leave the ground for a while. The tenth elder brother is still around Ruoxi, and the eighth elder brother occasionally makes jokes.
Prince Yinren sat next to Lin Feng and said: "I heard that the Fourteenth has been divided into a government and wants to take up a post at the Shanxi Agricultural Research Institute, this is your first time serving in a local office, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask the magistrate to help you." ”
When Lin Feng heard this, this Shanxi Mo was not the power of the prince, he really didn't know this, so he nodded and said, "Prince Xie, if there is a need, it must be." ”
The eighth elder brother was paying attention to Lin Feng's side, they were all well-informed, and they all knew the news of Lin Feng's branch to Shanxi the next day.
"Fourteenth brother, what are you talking about with the second brother?" The eighth elder brother walked over, looking suave and elegant.
"I've seen starlings, but the second brother is afraid that I will be on an errand for the first time and have no experience." Lin Feng smiled.
"I think the fourteenth brother can do a good job. Of course, if there is a second brother to take care of, the fourteenth brother will also be more smooth. Eighth Elder Brother smiled mysteriously and looked at Lin Feng.
"Starling has won the prize."
At night, a hazy full moon emerges from the transparent clouds like cicada wings, shining with a silvery glow. Lin Feng looked at it with his hands behind his back and smiled slightly.
"Alas! Ruoxi, you see this moon is so beautiful. ”
"The moon is not round."
It was Lin Feng and his entourage who began to set off with Kangxi to admire the moon, and on the way, they heard the discussion between the Ten Elder Brothers and Mar Teruoxi.
Lin Feng stopped and waited for Ruoxi and Ten Elder Brothers.
"Fourteenth Master!" Ruoxi couldn't help but be a little puzzled when she saw Lin Feng suddenly stop, and Eighth Elder Brother also turned around and glanced at a few people.
"Ruoxi, did you write that poem?" Lin Feng suddenly asked.
Malteshiro suddenly panicked in her heart, and she felt like a thief had been caught.
"That's right, Ruoxi, your level has slightly caught up with me, can you write such words? Did you hear it somewhere? Brother Ten also asked.
"I did hear it." Ruoxi replied timidly.
"Scared this time, right?" Lin Feng still seemed very careful, and saw that Martai Ruoxi's mood was wrong.
"Oh? Ruoxi, you were really scared? Brother Ten asked, widening his eyes.
Martai Ruoxi suddenly didn't want to answer, and said, "Tenth master, fourteenth master, I'm going to chase my sister." As soon as the words fell, he hurried after Marteroline.
After everyone arrived, Kangxi and the two concubines were late.
"Tonight is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the night of reunion, the ancients often said that the family and the country are all over the world, for me, there is no country without a home, let alone the world.
In the royal family, if the family is restless, the whole country will be in trouble, so you must firmly remember my words, and always remember the righteousness and brotherhood of the monarch and the minister. Come, you can accompany me and have a reunion bar. ”
All the elder brothers smiled, very harmonious, and greeted each other.
Kangxi wants royal harmony, but he is just deceiving himself, since he abolished the eldest brother, it is actually equivalent to giving up the rule of primogeniture. Since ancient times, if you break this rule, it depends on who is virtuous.
Obviously, all the elder brothers think that they are virtuous, the second brother becomes the prince, and the other elder brothers are not convinced.
Sitting in a reunion under the moon before the flowers, a breeze is cool at night. How long can such a harmonious scene last?
Ruoxi was depressed all day, and she was scared in the morning and still couldn't slow down, the shackles of feudal etiquette and religion, and the great horror of life and death hanging by a thread made her a little afraid. The concept of equality for all people and the feudal idea of life and death are in a violent conflict.
"Why do you have a cold sweat?" Martelloran noticed that something was wrong with her sister and asked with concern.
Ruoxi raised her head and glanced at her sister, Ruolan knew what her sister was thinking, and persuaded: "The emperor praised you very much, and rewarded you in public." You've passed this level. ”
"I also know that this level has passed, but it is just the line of life and death, and I am still afraid when I think about it now." Ruoxi finally confided in her heart.
"The show girl election is imminent, you still have to enter the palace in the future." Ruolan wanted Ruoxi to look away, her fate had already been planned.
"Huang Ama, the sons and daughters wish the Emperor Ama a country and the people are safe, and the children and grandchildren are full." At this time, the elder brothers had already said congratulatory messages to Kangxi one by one in order.
Kangxi was also happy, and said to the left and right: "I really know how to speak." ”
After the ninth finished speaking, it was the turn of the tenth.
The tenth elder brother saluted Kangxi with wine, and said with a smile: "Huang Ama, all the auspicious words have been finished with all the brothers, and the sons are here, wishing Huang Ama a good life and good health." When the words fell, he drank a full glass.
Kangxi smiled and said to the two concubines: "Look, look, you can't remember poetry and poetry, so I just say some common sayings." ”
As soon as Kangxi's words fell, all the elder brothers also laughed, obviously used to the appearance of the tenth elder brother, and there was not much malice in the laughter.
"It's a colloquial saying, but it's true." One of the concubines said.
"It's time for him to pass the crown year, right?" Kangxi asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty. At this age, the ninth elder brother has already established a blessing, and it is time to set up a blessing for the tenth elder brother. ”
"It's time for age." Kangxi slightly bowed.
The concubine said, "A few days ago, Jing Gege just mentioned my youngest daughter Mingyu to me, and asked me to help you find a suitable person. I think it's a good match with Brother Ten. ”
Guo Luo Luo Mingyu heard the mention of himself and glanced at his sister. She is still a girl, but she also knows what her fate will be, and it is just a political marriage. Thinking back to the tenth elder brother, becoming a concubine is not an insult to himself.
"A good match, a good match." Kangxi nodded, it can be regarded as recognition, just like chatter, it is already a lifelong event that determines others.
Where is the tenth elder brother willing to follow, and hurriedly shouted: "Huang Ama, the retainer is still young!" ”
"Still young? Are people tall and horses small? Kangxi said.
"Huang Ama, the fourth brother and the starling brother are the first to set up a side blessing, or you can set up a side blessing for me first." Ten Elder Brother thought of Malte Ruoxi, if it was Yan Fujin or Side Fujin was Maltai Ruoxi, he would be extremely willing.
"Nonsense! Mingyu Gege is your concubine, is it not possible to wronged you? Kangxi's face sank, and Brother Ten was also afraid.
Hurriedly knelt down and explained: "Erchen should die, Erchen means... It's just that... It's just that... Erchen is thinking..."He didn't know what to say, knowing that this was a political marriage that no one could escape, he was disgusted, but he didn't know how to deal with it, he didn't have the political mind of the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother, and the matter was put on his head, and he was already flustered for a while.
Lin Feng stood up suddenly at this time, and everyone's eyes were all on Lin Feng at this moment, Kangxi also noticed Lin Feng, and from his point of view, the tenth elder brother was already an insect in the water at this time, and when he saw Lin Feng's straw, he hurriedly cast a look at Lin Feng for help.
