It is not easy to be the fourth master's wife

Chapter 188

For the first two days after Hongzhao entered the palace, Zhou Ting came to pay her respects every day, and Yining naturally went with her. After they did this, the rest of the sisters-in-law would inevitably follow her a few times, so as not to leave the superior with a concubine A careless impression.

But there is no one else who really cares except Yiwei. No matter how awkward she is in her heart, Hongwang has also supported her for so many years, and arranged the food and clothing by her own. When she entered the palace unexpectedly, she began to miss this child again.No matter how much I hate Mrs. Zhang in my heart, I still worry about the child, it's like having a younger son and forgetting about the older one, and after thinking about it, I start to worry again.

After following Zhou Ting and Yining to the courtyard of Dongsan Institute twice, she was more able to talk than Zhou Ting.Yiwei's temper didn't change, Zhou Ting was polite when she gave orders, Yining followed her and occasionally added a sentence or two, but Yiwei just opened her mouth and put on airs, calling those little eunuchs They clicked their tongues, the secret rumors were indeed true.Since there is a powerful presence, they don't dare to be negligent, and it is clear when the brothers get up and when they eat.

Yiwei was satisfied with what she heard, and nodded: "Be careful, if you let me know which family's elder brother has been wronged, I will not spare you." While talking, she was polite to Zhou Ting: "This screwdriver is all a monkey. Fine, used to coaxing up and down, the children are young, and there is no one who can hold on to follow, not a big stick, waiting to be dishonest."

As Zhou Ting said, she also smiled. She carefully looked at the room where Hongzhao slept, and saw that it faced south, and the spacious and bright hall was not exposed to the wind on both sides. Out of Kangxi, these grandchildren were arranged according to the example of his son.

Boys always receive more attention than girls. In the early years, there was Royal Gege who was treated harshly by the wet nurse. Although Kangxi later found out that the whole family was skinned and cramped, it was a loss of foundation. That Gege did not support ten years old. With this incident, I am more concerned about these things, even if Yiwei doesn't come out like this, these servants don't dare to take it seriously, the prince is detained in Xian'an Palace, there may be some of the little dolls they are serving now What about the future emperor?

There was Concubine De to look after her in the palace, and Yinzhen asked from time to time. Zhou Ting finally adjusted her mentality and treated Hongzhao as going to a boarding school. Although she couldn't complain to the teacher and the principal, she could still see him every three days. .

Kangxi was very concerned about the study of these grandchildren, so he handpicked Zhang Penghe, a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts, to be the teacher of Hongzhao and others. Recite the book you have learned first, and recite it 120 times if you don't understand it.

For the first two days, Hong Zhao couldn't help being homesick. He wasn't alone in the same room. Zhou Tingyin and Ning got connected and arranged him and Hong Ming together. Being close, it is cheaper to sleep in the same room and take care of each other.Boys are also divided into gangs. If the father gets close, the children naturally get close too. At first, they were on their own, but within two days a dispute arose.

Hongzhao led Hongming to follow behind Hong Sheng of the third elder brother's family. Hong Sheng was as old as Hong Shi, and they would get married in two years. The third elder brother originally wanted to send the six-year-old concubine to the palace, but was rejected. Dong E's family made a point and then gave up. Everyone can see that Yinzhen is more important to the concubine, the concubine of the same mother and the younger brother's family
Not being close, let alone from another family, this child was ordered when he came here, which one to make friends with, and stay away from the other.

In fact, after the crown prince stepped down, the future of these princes is unclear. Those who intend to stand on the dry shore and not want to be big, they also have to think about their own children. The meaning of being close to the dew point is another matter.

Since Hongsheng is the boss, he is very good at taking care of the two younger brothers. He is very similar to the third elder brother, and he is a bit dull.Since childhood, because of the third elder brother, I have been taught by some famous teachers. It is okay to break down a few sentences for Hong Zhao Hongming in homework. I praised them for this master, but the others were not convinced. After all, you are a child, and when you get used to it, you forget these instructions, and now no one is more noble than anyone else, and you are also the grandson of the emperor, why should you be a low-key kid?
Overtly and secretly argued several times. When practicing Buku, Hong Ming and Hong Subaru of Brother Seven’s family got into a fight on the ground after a few disagreements. When Hong Zhao saw Hong Ming being pressed to the ground, he rushed over to help.

After a while, the boys rolled together. The master who taught Buku had seen the princes fight many years ago, and now he saw the princes and grandsons fighting in groups. At this time, he didn't care about the separation between the master and the slave. He held one in one hand and separated the two sides. , a few little ones were still kicking their legs, and Kangxi had already come over there.

Along with them was their Ama, who first looked at his son to see if he had suffered any disadvantages, then glared at him, reprimanded him once, and then lowered his head to admit his mistake when he had the wit .

Yinzhen was also in the row, he was the closest to Kangxi, and he could clearly see that Hongzhao and Hongming held hands, gasping for breath, stubbornly refusing to bow their heads.The commotion was heard from a distance, it is always unseemly for the emperor and grandson to fight, Kangxi's face was still covered with a layer of frost, when he saw the two little ones, he turned his head to look at Yinzhen, and then turned to find Yinzhen Zhen, point at the two of them: "Father Xiao, the son, this look is exactly the same as you two when you were young, carved out of it."

Hongzhao blinked. He had been with Kangxi for a long time, and he was never afraid of him. He asked bluntly, "I, Ama, also fought?" Gu Yinzhen even tugged at his sleeves, revealing the scar that got caught red, making him feel pitiful.

Kangxi laughed: "No." As he said that, he looked at Hongming, Hongzhao was born with milk and eggs because he was born tall and tall, very similar to Yinzhen, he couldn't help laughing, and nodded with satisfaction: "The strength is great. "He praised, turned his head and ordered: "Everyone copied 120 books."

The emperors and grandchildren who were relieved just because of Kangxi's smiling face are all bitter now, you stare at me and you, no one dares to make a sound, and it will be seven days before they go home, I hope I will forget this when I become a father It's okay, so I won't add any more punishment.

Yinzhen naturally didn't hide this matter from Zhou Ting, and his tone was quite complacent. Later, he asked Master Buku and the little eunuch who was serving towels and tea by the side. At the beginning, I fell on someone else's somersault, but later I didn't have enough strength, so I did everything I could. Fortunately, I didn't hurt anyone because of my weak strength.

Zhou Ting glanced at him, and then comforted herself: "Which boy didn't fight a few times when he was young? According to Han Ama, you also fought with your brothers in the past?" She asked more detailed: "Who won?" ?”

Of course it wasn't Yinzhen. Among the brothers, he was weaker than the third elder brother. He coughed and was about to pass the conversation away when Zhou Ting shaves his face and teased him, saying, "Fortunately, Hongzhao doesn't fight like you." " Pulled by Yin Zhen, he pressed her under his body and rubbed it, and asked her close to his ear: "Who was begging for mercy last night?"

After all, Hongzhao was taught a lesson, and Yinzhen invited him another boxing master at home. Every ten days when he came back, he had to perform the performance taught by the master in the palace. Yinzhen and Zhou Ting watched him from the sidelines. Even Hongzhang became interested in the practice, and circled around the outfield, making gestures from time to time.

Zhou Ting knew that Yinzhen had never won a fight when she was a child, so she placed high hopes on her son. It is rare that Yinzhen still has such a childish side. Zhou Ting couldn't stop the smile on her lips, and she was afraid that her daughter would see the clue , pursed his lips and sat in the warm pavilion, looked up at the father and son from time to time, then lowered his head and stuck two needles on the clothes.

The emperor's grandson went to study in the palace, except for a few people, no one thought about the "emperor's grandson". Both Yinzhen and Hongzhao saved a lot of trouble. Kangxi just passed away in 51 years and a big case happened a few days ago Just burst out.

Kangxi felt that he was not in good health, and the empress dowager was not in good health recently, and there were many big and small things in the family. He added an Enke in the first year, which meant to pray for himself. Who knew that this time Enke was out of the past The largest fraud case in the examination room.

Yinzhen was a little surprised when he accepted such a note. This should have happened at the end of the 50s. He had already sent people to keep an eye on Jiangnan earlier, and was going to remove Gali from his seat in one fell swoop to see who else could protect him.Unexpectedly, it didn't happen. Is it because the prince fell a year early, thinking that Kangxi was on fire, and these officials all clamped their tails to behave.

After Kangxi took the memorial, he smashed the set of porcelain cups painted on a black ground into pieces. Liang Jiugong hurried up to persuade him.
Kangxi calmed down twice and his anger did not go away, but burned even hotter. Only the notes from Jiangnan inspector Zhang Boxing did not make Kangxi so angry, and the secret notes handed over by Cao Yin and Li Xu really made him furious.

Caring for Cobain is a good deed praised by the world. After ten years of hard work, no one asked him, and he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop.How many people are eagerly looking forward to the selection of scholars every three years, and one more exam will give you another chance. Unexpectedly, there are few scholars from Jiangnan this time, and there are many children from merchants and wealthy families. It was too much to suppress public anger, and those scholars actually carried the statue of the God of Wealth to the gate of the Gongyuan, and satirized the examiners because they didn't know Confucius but only Brother Kong Fang.

Now that the case has been handed over to the Kangxi case, it is not so easy to settle it. It’s fine for those officials to scrape some oil and water. The imperial examination is no joke. These selected scholars will be sent to all parts of the country to become officials in the future, and they are rotten from the root , How can officials be clean in the future?

While coughing, Kangxi made a decree, appointing Hongzhao's master Zhang Penghe as an imperial envoy to go to Jiangnan to thoroughly investigate the case.Zhang Penghe lived up to his reputation as an imperial envoy. He bypassed Jiangning and went straight to Yangzhou. On the first day he arrived in the land, he interrogated the two "talented scholars" who were on the list. courage.

The two talented scholars who ranked first and second, not to mention policy theory, can't even memorize the Four Books and Five Classics smoothly, let alone breaking the question and inheriting the question, and they can't even tell which book the test question came from.Several examiners in Jiangnan in this session were dismissed immediately, and the papers of the first trial were handed over to Kangxi's case, which aroused his anger again.

This is not over yet. During the second trial, the amount of bribes was confronted in court. Those examiners bit me and bit you, until they bit the governor of Liangjiang, Ga Li.Ga Li suddenly became a suspect from a juror, and the case became more and more complicated as the trial progressed. Ga Li was deeply rooted in Liangjiang, and Zhang Penghe faltered in front of him. 50 taels, this is a big case called Jiangnan, where a few small shrimps were imprisoned in the first trial, and it took a month to get the result.

In the end, what was handed to Kangxi was actually Zhang Boxing's false accusation. Gali had nothing to do with accepting bribes, and Gali was fine, but Zhang Boxing was impeached and dismissed by the censor. Kangxi was so angry that he clenched his fists and smashed the table. The imperial officials were appointed by him. Dare to reverse right and wrong and confuse black and white, Zhang Penghe is still the master of the emperor's grandchildren, this is tantamount to a resounding slap in the face of Kangxi.

He was so angry that he couldn't hold the pen, his hands trembled so badly that he couldn't write with both hands, the anger accumulated in his heart for a long time gushed out like a volcanic eruption, his body couldn't bear it, and he fell down.

He just got sick at the end of last year, and he got sick again not long after the beginning of spring. No matter how good his body is, he can't stand such a toss, not to mention that Kangxi's foundation has long been lost.

Yinzhen was assigned to take over the case, captured Kari and released Zhang Boxing, and with a quick blow, the farce in the south of the Yangtze River disappeared without a trace. Thousands of people wrote letters, saying that the holy candle of Kangxi was illuminated, and he was satisfied with his favorite heir. He has outstanding talents, but he also faintly feels that he is really old.

Spring is the time when all kinds of illnesses abound. Kangxi's illness has been ill from the beginning of the year to the middle of the year. The more anxious he is, the worse it becomes. He has no choice but to delegate a little bit of power to Yinzhen. Looking at his son who is in his prime, Everything was done according to my own wishes, and such a large country could run smoothly without him. After a long illness, I couldn't help but become discouraged, and I felt that my life span was as unreliable as a candle in the wind.

His body has long been exhausted due to serious illnesses and minor illnesses over the years. He may still be able to survive with a belief, and he feels that he can do it, and his body is getting worse day by day.Yinzhen still thought in his heart that Kangxi had a good life for ten years, no matter what the imperial doctor said, he would not give birth to a little bit of dissatisfaction, feeding soup and medicine in front of and behind the bed, Kangxi couldn't help but feel grateful for his sincerity and filial piety during his illness.

When the weather turned cold again and thin frost formed on the window panes, Kangxi fell into a deep sleep and couldn't wake up again.
