Chapter 948: Peony Garden
On the evening of March 12, the sky was clear and cloudless.
The suburbs of Beijing are already willow green and red, full of spring. It seems that this is an ordinary saying.
Kangxi sat on the Luan car, squinting his eyes, thinking about the matter of bringing Wei Zhu back to Beijing a few days ago.
At that time, Wei Zhu listened to his words, and immediately fell to his knees, almost shocking to death. But the Son of Heaven said that there is no reason to take it back?
Wei Zhu waited for him for more than ten years, and he couldn't bear it, so he finally spoke: "What do you want, tell me about it?" ”
When Wei Zhu heard this, he immediately cried and fell to the ground, and replied forcefully: "Slaves and maids are more humble than pigs and dogs, and being able to serve in front of the emperor is already an ancestor and a virtuous ancestor, how dare you be greedy again...... If you talk about grace, please ask the emperor to give the slave and maid a decent and allow the slave and maid...... Yun slave maid followed and waited for the emperor......"
Kangxi stared at Wei Zhu for a long time, nodded and said, "I've agreed, let's go on an errand......"
Thinking of this, Kangxi glanced through the curtain at Wei Zhu, who was riding a horse.
Wei Zhu seemed more and more stable than before, but there was no sadness or joy, and there was no trace of life around him.
Outsiders saw that the chief manager was becoming more and more majestic, and even the prince's elder brother came to him, and he unconsciously softened three points, let alone an ordinary minister.
Some people say that Wei Zhu has received more favor than Liang Jiugong back then.
Kangxi knew all this, but he didn't want to pay attention to it.
When he was fine, he glanced at Wei Zhu. If a man knows the time of his death, how can he not have fear?
In the face of death, he, the Ninety-Five, is no different from Wei Zhu, a lowly eunuch. Someone accompanied him for a while, but it also reduced a little coldness.
The emperor is fortunate to be in the palace's family, and he does not interfere with Cao Hao, a foreign minister.
This is said to be a shift in the household department, and Cao Hao followed the two Shangshu to the front of the palace to do things, and was seen by Kangxi, so he ordered him to accompany him.
Cao Hao realized that he followed the sixteenth elder brother on horseback, and when he arrived outside the Old Summer Palace, he realized that he was going to the fourth elder brother's house.
"Huh? …… Isn't the third master the favorite to invite the garden? Why hasn't the third master moved this year, and the turn is the fourth master? After dismounting, Cao Hao whispered to ask the doubts in his heart.
The sixteenth elder brother hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "He did ask for an order, but the day before yesterday he was reprimanded for the matter of the Zhengjiazhuang barracks, so Huang Ama did not go there, but came to this ......."
Hearing the word "Zhengjiazhuang", Cao Hao's heart was agitated and he stopped talking.
Zhengjiazhuang, in name, is a new flag camp because of the increasing number of soldiers in the Eight Banners. A man was sent from the Eight Banners to garrison here. The flags sent were reorganized into ten.
Banner people have been in the customs for 70 or 80 years, and it is common for this flag to breed. Then, the most terrible thing was not the new flag camp, but the construction of a prince's mansion there.
Zhengjiazhuang is Changping, dozens of miles away from the capital. Ten soldiers, that is, thousands, plus the families of the bannermen, more than 10,000 people.
There are more than a dozen kings before and after the Eight Banners enter the customs, and the palaces are all in the inner city.
Zhengjiazhuang's construction of the palace is not a secret.
As early as the 57th year of Kangxi, when the Zhengjiazhuang Palace was repaired, the royal family began to be built next to the palace.
Originally, Cao Hao thought that Kangxi was going to give his son a garden, but as soon as these thousands of bannermen were stationed, people with discerning eyes could see it.
The palace, nine out of nine, is prepared for the abolished prince.
Who is the deposed prince? The concubine of the middle palace who came out of the Yuan Dynasty.
Except for him, others who inherit the throne are all incorrect and unreasonable. No matter how many mistakes he makes, in the eyes of the world, he is the rightful heir to the throne.
Kangxi teaches his son as a father, and he can be circled in Xian'an Palace; When the new emperor ascends the throne, the second elder brother's situation will be embarrassing, and the new emperor will be embarrassed.
If you are not careful with this brother-in-law, you will leave a disgraceful mark in the history books.
"I'm afraid I'm going crazy...... Sixteenth Elder Brother said in a low voice, his words full of schadenfreude. Honghui wanted to emulate Jianwen, but Kangxi was unwilling to learn from Ming Taizu. If you really want him to ascend the throne, then how can you think of moving the second elder brother out of the palace?
When the second elder brother is knighted and leaves the palace, Honghui, the sister-in-law, will also go to Zhengjiazhuang.
There's a big prison.
Thinking of Honghui, who was once invincible, and now he looks like a man with his tail between his legs, Cao Hao just feels pitiful.
The Son of Heaven has no flesh and bones, and Kangxi tossed his children and grandchildren miserably.
Cao Hao followed the sixteenth elder brother and followed Kangxi Luan into the park, but he muttered in his heart. Today's spring is so bright, Kangxi also looks like he is in a good mood, why do his eyelids jump and feel uncomfortable?
It's because I got up too early today, or because the light is dazzling, I always feel that my brain is not enough.
It wasn't until Kangxi swam half of the garden and went to the pavilion next to the peony garden that Cao Hao was enlightened and woke up.
Today, it is by no means an ordinary one, because this is the "ancestor and grandson meeting" mentioned in the miscellaneous records of the official history of later generations.
Sure enough, after Kangxi sat down, and the fourth elder brother personally served tea, he mentioned that the two two emperors and grandsons were still the royal audience.
The sixteenth elder brother was beside him, but he didn't say anything.
How do you call it that you haven't seen it? When the Qiansu banquet is held in the first month, the princes and grandsons give the old ministers a cup together, and Hongli and Hongday are also among them.
It's just that there are too many emperors and grandchildren, and Hongli and Hongday are not long, and they don't have the opportunity to go to the front of the emperor.
Cao Hao stood behind the sixteenth elder brother, but he listened with his ears stunned.
I have witnessed history, and this feeling is a little weird and a little exciting.
His heart was boiling, wondering if he could also write a copy of "Fu Ruo Miscellaneous" or something, and restore the truth of this moment to future generations.
Kangxi tasted the new tea, blowing the evening breeze, obviously in a good mood, and said with a smile: "I heard someone mention earlier, your brother in the house is very good at studying, and I happened to see you today." ”
Although the fourth elder brother was not happy, when he went out of the pavilion to find someone to speak, his steps were brisk.
Kangxi's eyes fell on the peony garden outside the pavilion, looking at the flowers in front of him, and he didn't know what to think.
The atmosphere in the pavilion was immediately depressed, because he came lightly, so in addition to a few ministers of the guard, it was the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Hao.
Seeing this, the sixteenth elder brother took two steps forward and poured tea into the cup by taking advantage of the fact that the tea cup was empty.
Kangxi raised his head at this time, glanced at the sixteenth elder brother, and then looked at Cao Hao behind him, and said: "Yinlu, Cao Hao, look at this sunset, and then look at this spring flower enchanting, can you two gain something?" ”
What can you get, "the sunset is infinitely good, it's just near dusk", Kangxi did not hide his loneliness.
"Sangyu twilight, Shuimu Qinghua!" The sixteenth elder brother looked at the sunset in the sky, and the peony garden in front of him, and said loudly.
In just one sentence, he turned all this question to the scenery, and did not say anything about the emperor's extraneous voice.
Sixteen elder brothers are not human sperm, who is human sperm.
Cao Hao also thought of idioms in his head, but there was no agreement, seeing that Kangxi and the sixteenth elder brother were looking at him, he could only bite the bullet and bow down and say: "The most beautiful thing is the sunset red." ”
It's plain and indecent, but it's not annoying.
Kangxi was obviously interested, and said, "What's the explanation? ”
"The sky is auspicious, and the sunset is more calm." Cao Hao remembered in his mind that in his previous life, when a senior brother who liked to dance and write ink congratulated his teacher on his birthday, he once dragged an article with the title of "The most beautiful but the sunset is red", which is mainly a tribute to the teacher's kindness.
He couldn't remember the specific content clearly, as if there were two sentences.
This casual remark pleases Kangxi, and the atmosphere in the pavilion instantly warms up a lot.
He didn't praise Cao Hao, but snorted coldly and said, "It's not right, the meaning doesn't make sense, go back and read Li Du's poems a few times!" ”
Cao Hao listened, bowed down to answer, but accepted it humbly.
is not for the sake of others, just because his father is a genius, and his son has also begun to learn poetry, but he has not achieved anything at all.
For the sake of his dignity in front of his son in the future, even if he is not good at poetry, he can't be a straw bag.
After Kangxi finished training, it seemed that he had gone to the evil fire in his heart, and his face was much more relaxed.
At this time, the fourth elder brother has already brought Hongli and Hongday over.
Thinking that the two emperors and grandsons had already been taught, they knelt down respectfully and asked Kangxi for peace.
Kangxi shouted, ordered the two to approach, and asked two words of homework.
Cao Hao watched coldly, and finally understood why Kangxi fell in love with Xiao Hongli.
This young man, only twelve or thirteen years old, answered calmly and restrainedly. To tell the truth, he has slender eyebrows and eyes, a bit of a woman, but his body is straight, the corners of his mouth are pursed, adding a bit of youthful heroism, he does not cringe at first sight, nor does he have the arrogance of a young emperor, he inherited the low profile of the fourth elder brother, but he does not have the stereotype of the fourth elder brother.
Looking at Hongday of the same age, it is the same as ordinary children. For his supreme grandfather, he was a little afraid, and after answering wrong, he looked at the fourth elder brother of Yan's father, and couldn't help but tremble.
It was Hongli who quietly tugged on his brother's sleeve and gave him a reassuring look to calm him down.
In an instant, Cao Hao was a little kind. Not for the side, just for the maintenance of Hongli Hongday, there is the wind of the eldest brother, and it is similar to his own heavenly blessing.
The small movements between the teenagers obviously did not escape Kangxi's eyes.
His eyes were even deeper, and he looked at the two little elder brothers and said, "Since I have read Tang poems, now I will memorize a peony poem." ”
Among the Tang poems, there is no shortage of peony poems, and Li Du and other famous artists have done peony poems.
"The remnants of the red began to spit out the fragrance, and the good name is called the King of Flowers. Boasting of the unparalleled beauty in the world, the first fragrance in the world! Hongli has not changed his voice, with a bit of childish crispness, read aloud.
I don't know how others are, Cao Hao is beside him, and he feels very thunderous.
There are so many peony poems, and in an instant, Hongli chose this one, "Peony" by Pi Yuexiu in the Tang Dynasty, I don't know if it is because of the innate "domineering spirit".
This is the "king" again, the "unparalleled in the world", and the "first in the world", and the atmosphere is boundless.
It's nothing for ordinary children to carry these, but it really takes a lot of thought for royal children to carry this.
But Kangxi asked casually, and Hongli answered casually, which saved the fourth elder brother from the suspicion of planning in advance.
No matter how you look at it, it can only be said that Hongli is "arrogant and natural", and there is no small family spirit.
Kangxi obviously also felt something, looked at Hongli several times, and ordered Hongli to recite poems.
Hongday's reciting is Wang Wei's "Red Peony", "The green is quiet and quiet, and the red clothes are shallow and deep." The heart of the flower is sorrowful, and the spring color does not know the heart", although there is no brilliance, it is also considered to be passed.
The sunset reflected in the sky, and the sky gradually darkened.
Kangxi saw his two grandsons, didn't stay long, and moved back to Changchun Garden.
It was too late for Cao Hao to return to the city, so he invited the sixteenth elder brother to go to his garden with him...... * The sentence "thousands of miles in the sky" is adapted from Baidu.
