Extra three: the life of the second generation of the emperor

The eldest prince Xie Zhao was born to know that he was extremely intelligent.

The third prince Xie Qi is humble and friendly, and riding and shooting are a must.

Xie Zhao won't talk about him, his biological mother Hao Guifei is a heroine among women, can the son he raised be poor?

Xie Qi's biological mother Ma Ronghua did not train her son very deliberately, she was arranged to be a follower to the daughter of the Rong family since she was a child, she didn't have much heart, she was very satisfied to have a son, she was afraid that her son would be too sharp and cause trouble, but she was reluctant to instill in him the intrigues of adults...... Under all kinds of entanglements, Ma Ronghua didn't teach his son anything except for shouting and asking for warmth.

But Xie Qi especially loves to stick to his two brothers.

The "study plan" customized by the eldest prince, Xie Qi did not follow it, did not need to be supervised, and gradually showed his talent for riding and archery, and he was also very interested in leading the troops to fight generals.

It's just that the second prince Xie Sheng, who is under Guo Xiaoyi's high pressure, has mediocre homework and mixed days in riding and archery classes.

After the three princes left the palace to build a mansion when they became adults, and each led the court on an errand, Xie Sheng intensified his efforts. Not only did he not want to be familiar with the errand and take more responsibility, but after making sure that he did not affect the operation of the household department...... Directly pendulum.

Duty?

I'm sick, and I have a disease that can only be cured by going to the flower shop to hold my beautiful sister.

Issued to him for work?

This is simple, there is no shortage of customers around the prince, and there are many capable people in the Guo family who are willing to help the prince.

The brothers who went to the internship and training at the same time, the eldest prince washed off his childishness, the more he shined, the more he was tanned, and the third prince was tanned and thin, and every time he entered the palace, Ma Ronghua was distressed and cried, and even with a good face for the third princess, he felt that his daughter-in-law did not take good care of her son.

Only Xie Sheng, his face is round, his complexion has improved, and he is also in good spirits.

Xie Sheng lay flat for more than half a year, and no one in the household department dared to report it.

First, the original official did not want to be affected by the airborne troops and seize the credit, he only came by name and did not influence others, no one felt that there was a problem, at most he felt that the second prince was lazy and had no ambitions.

Second, isn't this tantamount to telling the emperor that you can't teach your son?

I don't know if Xie Sheng will be punished, but the person who reported it had a bad impression on the emperor first, so no one was willing to wade into this troubled water.

But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and this matter finally reached the ears of the emperor.

The emperor was furious and immediately brought the second prince into the palace.

At that time, Jiang Xian was next to him, patting him on the back and smoothing him: "The emperor is angry, wait a minute, listen to the child's thoughts first, His Royal Highness is still ...... young"

"Qi'er, his imperial concubine is pregnant, he is still young as a second brother?!"

To be honest, Jiang Xian can't quite understand the thoughts of the rich second generation.

But she knew that it was useless to urge: "If you scold him and teach the little guys around him useful, His Royal Highness will not let the emperor hurt his mind today, if the emperor reprimands him angrily, what is the difference between him and Guo Xiaoyi?" ”

Liang Yuyin was very impressed after hearing this.

is worthy of Concubine Hao, and she fully knows the emperor's pain points.

The emperor raised his face and looked at Jiang Xian sadly: "I have changed, how can Xian'er compare Guo Xiaoyi with me." ”

"So the emperor will be able to talk to His Second Highness calmly later?"

The emperor nodded and beckoned Jiang Xian to sit in his arms.

He asked her to talk about what she thought of Xie Sheng's behavior.

"Your Majesty, the Second Highness is not from me, Zhao'er and him are both brothers and competitors, what I say is not appropriate, it is better not to say it."

It's not pleasing to say it.

If Jiang Xian insists on saying it, it is that she doesn't care.

What kind of person is she? Gritted her teeth all the way up from the abyss, and only one hundred and twenty points could barely be "fair" with eighty people, and asked her to say that the second prince's family background is so good, she can do whatever she likes, and she not only doesn't understand the troubles of the second generation, but only feels very luxurious.

"Also, it's embarrassing for Xian'er, it's just that in the past, His Royal Highness always ran to your palace, and I feel that you will have some understanding of his temperament."

"I taught him knowledge, but I never taught him how to behave, so I didn't have to worry about Guo Xiaoyi coming to me."

Jiang Xian said it so clearly, and she knew that the emperor would not blame her for this.

She is not a virgin and has no penchant for teaching children.

When Xie Sheng arrived, Jiang Xian insisted on staying in the side hall and did not listen to the conversation between father and son.

"No matter how close he was when he was young, His Royal Highness is also a man now, the emperor's godson, but let the favorite concubine listen, how should he deal with himself?"

"He wouldn't do such a thing if he wanted face......"

Under Xian'er's gaze, the emperor finally changed his words: "Okay, I'll listen to what he has to say!" ”

……

When Xie Sheng came in, he saluted his father as usual and stood on his bow.

"Sheng'er, do you know why I sent you?"

"Erchen knows."

The emperor choked: "Since you know, Sheng'er did it knowingly?" ”

"Father, the son doesn't want to do things in the household department."

Emperor: "Then where do you want to go?" Tell me about it. ”

The emperor is very doting on his children, and has always asked for the stars to be packed and sent by the moon, since the household is not happy, then change the department to try, as long as it is not a dangerous thing, he encourages his children to try, everything has him around.

It seems that the second son has something he wants to do!

The emperor is very relieved to think about it.

As a result, the next sentence of the second son was: "The son just wants to receive some money from his father and mother every year, stay in the palace and have fun every day, if the father is bored, he can pass the son into the palace to relieve his boredom, and if the eldest brother and the third brother are busy, the son can do his filial piety on his behalf." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

His father almost didn't take a breath, and filial piety became filial piety.

The emperor also felt that his son was just thinking about it for a while, and said: "I am still young, I have a lot to do, and I don't have much to spare, you don't have to worry about me, it's time for you to show your strengths." Wherever you want to go, just tell me. ”

"If you insist on what Erchen says, Erchen wants to witness the great rivers and mountains of the Xie family on behalf of his father who guards the capital."

High emotional intelligence: see the great rivers and mountains

Low EQ: Sightseeing

The emperor was furious, and remembered that Xian'er told him not to be anxious.

So he asked patiently, and Xie Sheng said:

"Erchen figured it out - he figured it out many years ago, and if Erchen wanted to think about it, he didn't want to go to the study, but he was still happy with the eldest brother and third brother, so he endured it. The father is in the prime of life, the eldest brother and the third brother can do it, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are all used by the father, even Hao Guifei can share the worries of the father, this huge capital, the young sons and daughters can contribute alone, and beg the father and the emperor to indulge his son once, let his son be a free prince, and Yonglu will live his life. ”

He knelt down as he spoke.

The mother concubine forced him to fight with his eldest brother, but he didn't want to fight at all, so what if he won? Like my father, I prepared for the morning court before dawn, and picked up the lamp to review and fold until late at night? It wasn't the life he wanted to live.

Xie Sheng talked about all the places he wanted to visit, and after talking for a long time, he didn't even finish talking about Shudi, which was said to have miasma, before he stopped and looked at his father with a blank eye.

The emperor looked at his second son, who had grown up, but remembered Jiang Xian in the side hall.

I think he persuaded him countless times, and he wanted to travel with her but was rejected.

There is a huge difference in people's temperaments, it would be nice if Sheng'er and his concubine Hao could be neutralized, one lives too hard, and the other lies too relaxed. He thought that the first emperor gave birth to four sons, and all four of them were quite promising, but two of them were killed, leaving him and his second brother.

If he had to choose, he would rather all three sons live well.

An idle prince, he can afford to raise.

Xie Sheng thought he would be punished.

Punishment and closed-door thinking are the most basic, and if it is serious, he may be taught a lesson behind closed doors, but after pondering for a while, his father said:

"You recorded the travel arrangements you dictated to me today, and you said that you want to see the great rivers and mountains of the Xie family on behalf of me, right? Then you go to see it, record the customs and customs, see if the local officials have been corrupt and derelict in their duties, settle the injustices in the world, and send home books regularly, so that I know that you are safe. ”

Xie Sheng was stunned, he didn't react for a while, his father took his joke seriously!

In fact, when it comes to going on a tour, he doesn't have a related concept.

After all, he hadn't been out of the capital yet.

His father fulfilled him like this, but he became cowardly: "Didn't my father punish his sons and daughters for losing their minds?" Except for the first day of reporting, Erchen has never been to the household department......"

If it was a concubine, he would definitely be severely punished.

No, it's going to be worse.

She would be stunned and break down and cry, feeling that there was no hope in this life.

But Xie Sheng has endured it for many years, and he wants to live his life after leaving the palace and building a mansion.

"If you don't want to go, you won't go, I insist on you going, and you are reluctant," the emperor beckoned, motioning for the second son to sit beside him, "I knew ten years ago that persuasion was useless. ”

Xie Sheng had admiration for his father, but it was just an opportunity not to be close to him, but now that he was beckoned to him, his little heart was pounding, and he leaned over and sat down, curious: "Who else bothered my father so much?" ”

It definitely won't be a big brother anyway.

The third brother is also a reliable person, at most he is a little tiger, he fell off a horse two years ago and was injured, which scared Ma Ronghua so much that he couldn't sleep at night: he took care of his son in front of the couch without undressing.

"Who else?"

The emperor sighed leisurely and said a name in front of Xie Sheng that he couldn't even think of: "How come?" Concubine Hao is the most capable person in the harem, and her father often says that she is indispensable to assist by her side? ”

"But I just want to take her to the south of the Yangtze River to play, she said that the first emperor had toured east to Qufu, and now the saint has not gone down to the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and the salt merchants will inevitably actively donate silver in order to welcome the emperor, in addition, the field investigation is good to determine the details of the construction of water conservancy, so that the people will not be disturbed by floods."

Father and son are both fun-loving people, and after listening to this passage, their faces invariably showed a look of indifference.

Xie Sheng was sent out, and although Guo Xiaoyi was worried, she was not very sad.

The prince, being sent out for training is a manifestation of being valued, although she prefers that her son will find a vacancy in the six departments, so that he can show his face more in front of the emperor, but the holy will has been determined, and it is not something she can change.

The saddest thing is the eldest prince.

He frequently sent letters, asking if his second brother was okay.

Xie Sheng replied - of course it's okay, my father has allocated a lot of elite soldiers to me to guard, and I don't even feel comfortable visiting the Qinglou, I'm afraid that I won't be able to go to a place where fireworks will be available in the future.

At the beginning, Xie Sheng was really like a wild horse, rushing to have a lot of fun.

Unexpectedly, after seeing his "travel arrangement", Concubine Hao introduced him to the palace and delivered some things to him - she bought the distribution of some resource crops in Yanchi from the system with a lot of money, and regarded this as an assignment and a task, and asked Xie Sheng to complete it.

Concubine Hao has the grace of half a teacher to him, and he dare not resign.

Come to think of it, it's boring just to play, and it's even more fun to find something new on the way!

When he agreed, he saw Aunt Zhuqiu take out a palm-thick loose-leaf book in both hands and hand it to him.

Xie Sheng: ......

If he wants to regret it, he shouldn't underestimate the workload of Concubine Hao.

The second prince left the capital and did not return for several years.

Although the person did not return, the letters were sent back frequentlyβ€”with the seeds, metals, and books that Jiang Xian asked him to find.

I also heard about his low-key travel, and exposed a local gentry of fish and meat villagers, and wrote in detail in the family letter how he pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, and finally showed his father's identity majestically.

The elite soldiers and secret guards sent to him by the emperor were really not in vain, and after half a year, he destroyed a traitorous den, and this letter was even more terrible - Xie Sheng said that he fought with the people in the rivers and lakes, fought for 300 rounds, and finally beheaded him under his horse. Hearing the enthusiasm of the third prince, he insisted on adding a sentence to the reply looking forward to leading the troops with the second brother, and the father and emperor liked to mention a fierce general in the future!

When Xie Sheng sent a letter back to Beijing, he said that he didn't want to be a general, and how hard it was to lead troops to fight.

He wants to be chivalrous and righteous, and trouble his father, eldest brother and third brother to give more silver.

It is said that Guo Xiaoyi fainted directly after reading the letter that was passed to her.
