In the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi, although the wax moon has passed, the wind is still the same. Reading//

The order of the Zongren Mansion, Prince Jian Yabu waited outside the Qianqing Palace, his hands were still cold in his sleeves, and standing with him were Gu Badai, the full Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Ying, the Han Shangshu who was recalled to Beijing by Kangxi Xuan. Yabu coughed lightly and said, "Ming'er is the Great Dynasty Meeting, and I can talk to the emperor again today, Wen Qi and Dunfu, what are the regulations of the two of you?" Gu Badai smiled and said: "Look at what the prince said, although the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the ceremony, the prince is in charge." Didn't the prince take the charter and call the ministers and Lord Zhang to stand and cheer?" "Zhang Ying here just wants to be a stuffy gourd, he really doesn't want to come to this troubled water. Aixin Jueluo's family affairs, which round to get him a Hanchen beak. If he hadn't been caught by Yabu in the Ministry of Rites, he wouldn't have been involved. Gu Yadai and Zhang Ying were silent, Yabu wanted to say something, but he finally held back.

At this time, Li Dequan came out, first made a thousand calls with Yabu, and then got up and shook Gu Badai and Zhang Ying, and said with a smile: "The emperor invites the prince and the two adults to go in." The emperor was late for the excerpt last night, so he took a short nap. It's cold and cold this day, and it's hard to wait for a few people. Yabu nodded slightly, and entered the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace with the two scholars of the Ministry of Rites.

There are several copper braziers in the warm pavilion, and incense is burned, and the inside of the house is warm, and the outside is like two seasons. The three of them, who had been waiting in the cold wind for more than half an hour, suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and when they saw Kangxi leaning on the soft couch, they all bowed: "The minister (slave) respectfully invites the emperor to be a saint." ”

Kangxi waved his hand casually and said, "Zhen'an, you all get up." Li Dequan gave a seat to Prince Jane, Gu Badai, and Zhang Ying. Reading // I've been a little tired in the past two days, and I'm lazy, so I'm just relaxing and discussing with you. You are all close to me, and I will not see you. ”

Gu Badai has been sick before, and he came to the ministry to inspect things in the past two days while he was a little better, and he hadn't seen Kangxi for some time, and when he saw Kangxi really tired, his heart was sour, and he said: "The slave saw that the emperor has really lost a lot, and the emperor is the foundation of the country, so take care of the dragon's body." ”

Kangxi saw that the corners of Gu Badai's eyes were slightly red, and he was also a little emotional, so he comforted: "My body is still strong, Wen Qi doesn't have to worry too much." I will be at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven in a few years, but I can still read six hours a day, let alone riding and shooting. Wen Qi should only be ten years old, and he hasn't reached the ear yet, so he looks like an old man. I have a few self-cultivation recipes here, and I will copy them to you later, and slowly recuperate according to the recipes, and you will be able to be as healthy as ever. ”

Gu Badai sat on top of the brocade and bowed down and said, "The slave thanks the emperor for his grace." The slave is dying, and then he is still in the book, but it is like a corpse vegetarian meal....... ”

Kangxi knew that Gu Badai had the idea of begging to return, but he didn't want to let this loyal and honest courtier rest like this, so he interrupted: "Wen Qi is the master of the fourth elder brother, and he can teach it really well. The fourth elder brother knows books and etiquette, and the messenger is also very good. I also pointed to you to teach Honghui. "Honghui is the sister-in-law of the crown prince Yin, a serious imperial grandson, who is just four years old this year, and has reached the age of enlightenment.

Hearing Kangxi mention Yin?, Prince Jian finally caught the conversation, and interjected when he saw the opportunity: "The emperor forgives the ministers for their recklessness." The emperor mentioned the fourth elder brother, and the ministers and the other three saw the driver this time, and it was for this matter. ”

"Oh?" Kangxi frowned slightly, "For the fourth elder brother?"

"Not only the fourth elder brother, but also the fifth elder brother, the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother. Yabu cautiously looked at Kangxi's face and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he continued: "The minister and the others have given a fold to the emperor the day before yesterday, and I heard that the emperor has stayed in the middle." Since the minister bears the order of the Zongren Mansion, he has to work well to run errands to be worthy of the emperor and the entire Aixin Jueluo clan. ”

"I know, you continue. Kangxi still has an indifferent look.

"Yes, tomorrow's court meeting, the emperor will issue a decree to canonize all the elder brothers. The Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites have all received orders and are preparing for a full range of affairs. The minister learned that the emperor wanted to be the eldest brother and the third elder brother king, and the other four elder brothers were all Baylor. Ya Bu said.

"I have this intention, why, Prince Jian thinks that these elder brothers can't be the king of the county and Baylor?" Kangxi smiled.

Yabu was shocked by this sentence, and hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare." The ministers and the left and right sects have discussed the same meaning, and the kings in Beijing also mean the same thing. Since Taizong, all the sons of the emperor have been knighted. Even if the emperor wants to leave some leeway for his brothers, he should be crowned a county king. ”

Kangxi smiled unabated, and said lightly: "All the kings mean this, my sons should be crowned kings, so what should the prince's sons be crowned?"

These words were extremely heartbreaking, and Yabu's spine immediately felt a chill, and he didn't know what he was saying in a panic. Kangxi smiled and said, "When I think about the Ming Dynasty, all the princes will be crowned kings." When Li Zicheng's troops came to the city, what did those princes who had received the emperor's favor do? But how many people rose up to resist? Like King Fu and his ilk, they would rather end up cheapening Li Zicheng with the gold and silver in the treasury than giving relief to the people and motivating the soldiers, and in the end there were no bones left. I divide the seal, only talk about meritorious service, meritorious reward, if there is a mistake, there will be punishment, never make the same mistakes. I want my brothers to know that if I want a prince, I don't want to be my son, but I have to rely on their own real skills to earn it!"

Looking at Yabu, who was a little pale, Kangxi slowed down his tone a little and said: "There is also an edict in the Imperial Court of Tomorrow: All the children of the clan, regardless of their concubines, need to be introduced by the Zongren Mansion for the mid-term examination on the fifteenth year, and only those who pass will be awarded knighthoods." I have deep expectations for the clan, and you, as the sect commander, should understand my painstaking efforts. Yabu hurriedly got up and said: "The emperor is sage, the minister was not thoughtful before, and after the emperor's words, he woke up from a dream. ”

Kangxi bowed slightly, and said: "You are an honest man, that fold is not like your original intention, I let you wait outside today, and I also have the intention of making you sober up." Be thoughtful about everything. What knighthood is awarded is the business of the children and grandchildren, and the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the kings in Beijing must understand it. "Yes, yes. Yabu was already on pins and needles at this time.

At this time, Kangxi turned to Gu Badai and Zhang Ying again, and said, "You are here with King Jian, but it is also for this matter?"

Zhang Ying's mind moved very quickly, and the words of the right talent Kangxi were still in his ears, how could he dare to say anything at this moment. At this time, Gu Badai hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zhang Ying, and then said: "The slave and Zhang Ying are the envoys of the Ministry of Rites, and it is said that they only care about the ceremony, but the slave feels that the emperor is indeed harsh on the brothers." ”

"I'm too my son?" Kangxi's face became gloomy again.
