The capital in March seems to be calm.

Although this year is the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi since the change of the yuan, the first emperor Shizuwen died on the seventh day of the first month of the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, and Xuanye, the third prince of the second year, ascended the throne. Therefore, this year is the 60th anniversary of Kangxi's accession to the throne.

Throughout the ages, hundreds of emperors, who can be full of Jiazi, Kangxi has become the first person.

Even the famous long-lived emperor Shang Wang Wuding only reigned for 59 years, King Mu of Zhou for 55 years, and Emperor Wu of Han for 54 years.

Among the courtiers, there is no lack of people who praise their grace, and they have opened the government from the fifteenth day of the first month and the sixth department, and the excerpt of this request for celebration has not been broken.

Kangxi refuted it with the excuse that "the northwest uses troops, and the army and the people work hard".

If you say that you are happy, it is the prince of Jane, Yaerjiang, because his sister-in-law Yongqian returned to Beijing from Xining.

No matter how much affection is for the deceased wife, Yarjianga really loves this sister-in-law. After the death of his eldest son Delong, Yarjianga had already regarded Yongqian, the second son, as his heir.

At the beginning, he agreed to let Yongqian follow the fourteenth elder brother to Xining, because he wanted to earn military merit for his son. When his son left Beijing, he regretted it.

Although he is also surnamed Aixin Jueluo, the Jian Wangfu family is not a descendant of Taizu, and it is already the ultimate to be able to do hereditary replacement. No matter how much military merit there is, it is just icing on the cake.

Looking at his son, who had become a little more manly due to the northwest wind and sand, Yaerjianga held back the excitement in his heart, nodded, and said, "It's good to come back, let's go and say hello to Fujin first." When you go out of Beijing, Zhen'er is talking about how much you make, and she likes the things you sent back last time. ”

Yongqian didn't mean to be happy, he knelt on the ground with a "plop" and said with a face full of shame: "My son has disgraced Amma, please punish Amma." ”

Yarjianga was stunned when he heard this, and saw that his son did not speak.

Yongqian was already blushing, clenched his fists vigorously, his eyes were red, and said: "Amma, my son has been out for more than a year, and he has been writing formations and riding and archery kung fu, so he doesn't dare to slack off...... I originally thought that we would exhibit the lintel of King Jian's Mansion in the field...... Who would have thought, but before the army entered Tibet, he was transferred out by the general king......"

Yarjianga remembers clearly that his son looks polite and polite, but he also envies the achievements of his ancestors, and he admires the fourteenth elder brother who is in charge of military affairs.

Now, when I returned to Beijing, I didn't complain in my heart.

Yarjianga picked up his son and said, "It's not the fourteenth elder brother who will transfer you away, this is the emperor's grace." Although Guangshan and you did not formally ask for the title, they are the sons of Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince Jian's Mansion. Beizi Rubin and the protector general are respectful, their grades are not as good as yours, and they are also valuable. The emperor has always been kind to his relatives, and he can rest assured that you are in danger, which is the heart of boxing and protection. ”

"If you say that your status is precious, who can value it more than the general Tongping Junwang? If you take care of the heirs of the clan and don't want them to be in danger, why did you keep Hongshu in Xining? Yongqian was indignant in his heart, and only regarded his father's remarks as an excuse for the fourteenth elder brother, and said with a little grievance: "The son just remembered Amma's warning, respected the general, and did not approach him." ”

Yarjianga shook his head and said, "The clan is not a royal family after all. I don't worry about you being in danger, just because you are a clan. And the eldest brother of Chunjun Wangfu, Hongshu, is the grandson of the emperor and the nephew of the future son of heaven. Even if you want to make military achievements in the northwest, you must first get the emperor's grandson. In this way, he established meritorious deeds and became the clan relatives on whom the future Son of Heaven depended. We, together with the descendants of Taizu and Taizong, have to lag behind. ”

Father and son, it's rare to say so much.

Yongqian seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and muttered: "Amma, what about the king of Pingjun? is not the prince and grandson, speaking of the title, it is higher than the general king, and he also stays in the northwest, and still guards the Gumu camp. ”

Although the fourteenth elder brother said that he went out on behalf of the sky and was named a general, he used it as a king, but the official knighthood was Gushan Beizi. Narsu, but the hereditary king of Doro.

Yarjiang said with a smile: "It is precisely because his title is higher than that of the fourteenth elder brother that he was able to stay in the northwest. If the fourteenth elder brother has something...... When there is something to return to Beijing, there must always be someone in the northwest who can control the overall situation. The northwest, after all, is not the northwest of the fourteenth elder brother, it is the emperor's northwest ......"

As for why he trusts Nersu, it is because Nersu has been raised in the palace since he was a child, and Fujin, the head of the palace, is the daughter of Cao Yin.

The emperor has no shortage of favors for the children born to Cao Yin and Mrs. Li. No one will doubt the loyalty of the Cao family to the royal family for several generations, is it the icing on the cake that the Pingjun Royal Mansion has won this blessing?

Yaa Jiang'a remembered the rumors a few years ago, and his expression was a little unfathomable...... * On the side of the Chunjun Palace, no one was happy that Hongshu was "reused".

It was Chang Fujin, who was most reluctant to let Hongshu as his heir earlier, heard that the elder brothers of the other palaces had returned, but Hongshu followed the Chinese army to pull out the camp from Xining, and he was also a little worried.

Because the wives and concubines of Fujin on the same side have been competing for more than 20 years, after Fujin had no hope of seeking a son, he thought that the palace would set up whoever was the heir, and he could not set up the three elder brothers from Fujin.

For this, she also used a lot of tricks and feet in the past few years.

Later, seeing that the seventh elder brother had made up his mind, and Hongshu's position was becoming more and more stable, she was a little disheartened.

However, after watching from the sidelines over the years, she gradually became at ease. Hongshu's conduct is rare in the royal family, but he is a truly pure and filial person.

In addition, Hongshu has the best relationship with his adopted daughter Da Gege Chuyu, and he is also friendly to other half-brothers and sisters. Chang Fujin took a step back in his heart, and the relationship with his eldest daughter-in-law gradually reconciled, not as tiring as in his early years.

If Hongshu really misses...... Further down, Hongzhuo is not a good-natured person...... Even Yan Fujin is worried, not to mention the biological mother side Fujin, who is so worried.

It was difficult to sleep and eat, and because of the change of seasons, Fang Fujin became ill.

Chang Fujin went to see her once, and saw that she was very sick, and he was afraid that he would have something to do with it, so he bothered to ask the imperial doctor to bother to diagnose and treat her.

Fang Fujin is heart disease, and he is not in good spirits after taking medicine, Hongzhuo feels sorry for his mother, and he reported it to his father, so he took his eldest sister Chu Yu back, thinking about letting his sister relieve his mother.

He was careless, and he didn't expect his mother's "heart disease" to worry about his brother who was far away in the military tent in the northwest. After all, in his heart, as a descendant of Aixin Jueluo and a member of the Eight Banners, it is a great honor to be able to go out with the army.

He also thought that his mother's "heart disease" was because the two concubines in the inner courtyard were pregnant.

The elder brother is already in his twenties, and the eldest half-brother in the palace is only ten years old, and he can still snatch the heir position of his elder brother, what is there to worry about? Even if these two Shu Fujin give birth to an elder brother, what can they be. He is young and his biological mother is from a low background. One of them, Shu Fujin, was born as a concubine.

The reason why they all asked for titles is because there are not as many wives and concubines in the palace as there are other princes' mansions. My father was a generous surname, so he raised his name.

After getting the news, Chu Yu asked her mother-in-law Li to go back to the palace to visit her mother.

Along the way, she thought about unraveling her mother's words. However, I felt a headache and felt pity for my mother. Because she is not a wife, even if she gives birth to five children, her mother is still trembling and walking on thin ice.

When he arrived at the palace, Chu Yu didn't think of a good explanation. After all, according to filial piety, the mothers add Ding to their fathers, and she, as a daughter, should rejoice. But from her mother's side, she really didn't want those young mothers to share her mother's favor.

After entering the palace, she still followed the old rules and went to the main hall to meet her adoptive mother Fujin first. After listening to what his mother-in-law said, Chu Yu realized that her mother's illness was not that the two concubines were pregnant, but because she was concerned about her eldest son.

"Well, since you have returned, you will persuade her. I asked you Amma, the eldest brother is in the Chinese military tent, and your fourteenth uncle is beside him, and the army is guarding it, so it's right. Didn't you say that the imperial court had 300,000 troops in the northwest? The Chinese army is under the banner of going out on behalf of the sky, even if it is not like an iron bucket, it is almost the same, and there is really nothing to worry about. Yan Fujin took Chu Yu's hand and said.

Chu Yu responded one by one, and Chang Fujin sent her to the side Fujin.

Seeing his daughter Guining, Fang Fujin couldn't help but redden. For this eldest daughter, although she was not raised when she was a child, she is also regarded as the backbone.

When Chu Yu saw it, he sighed in his heart, took the handkerchief, stepped forward to help his mother wipe her tears, and said, "Eniang, how many people outside envy Hongshu." Because of his status as the emperor's grandson and his noble status, even if he goes out with the army, the drudgery of entering Tibet to fight will not be his turn, and he can only follow the Chinese army camp and manage the grain and grass, and he can get military merits. Eniang should be happy, even if Hongshu is not a descendant, with this military exploit, the identity of the eldest son of the county king is becoming more and more stable. Huang Ma Fa point Hongshu with the expedition, which is a great grace to our palace. ”

Hearing his daughter's words, Fang Fujin stopped his tears and said with a little pleading: "Really? Didn't you say that Hongshu left Xining? It is said that the Dzungar people are fierce and come and go like the wind, so what if they run into it......"

Chu Yu held her hand and said, "Eniang, my daughter doesn't understand those military affairs. It's just that you think, the two armies are fighting, and the grain and grass battalion is lying in front, waiting for the enemy to come and burn it; Or is it in the back of the secret, properly? ”

Although he didn't know why his daughter asked like this, Fang Fujin still replied: "Naturally, it is a secret place in the rear, and if it is placed in the front, has it become an enemy?" ”

"So what else is Mother worried about? Although Hongshu left Xining, he went to the grain and grass camp and was in charge of the grain and grass. Besides, he is with Uncle Fourteen, and I don't know how many people protect him. E-Niang should stop scaring herself, if Hongshu knew that E-Niang was sick because of him, her heart would not be steady. Chu Yu said softly.

Maybe in the early years, Fang Fujin begged for a hundred years of love with her husband, but over the years, new people have been added to the house, and she has put all her thoughts on her children.

Seeing that her daughter was sure of what she said, she really felt a lot more relieved. I wonder if I think too much, I always think badly, don't curse my son for this reason...... * The ups and downs of the capital, Cao Hao can't take care of it.

Now, he has stayed in Yangzhou for a few days, and the fleet has been repaired and inspected, and today he will set sail and sail down the Yangtze River.

On the dock in Yangzhou, looking at the big ship on the shore and looking at Cheng Mengxing, Cheng Mengkun couldn't help but feel a headache.

This cousin is really Ren's surname. After winning the Jinshi and entering the Hanlin, he said that he would give up and give up, and he would no longer be out of office after Ding was worried. Now, Xu is tired of staying in Yangzhou, and when he saw that Cao Hao was going to Guangzhou, he somehow remembered to be cheeky again.

"Brother Xing, my niece is sixteen, and the first two years were delayed in filial piety. You, as a father, have not been in a hurry for the past two years, do you have to delay it forever? Cheng Mengkun didn't give up, lowered his voice and persuaded: "Guangzhou is thousands of miles away, you go, at least half a year, this year has passed." ”

"Cousin, I only have this son and a daughter, and I really can't bear to marry He'er early. Stay for another year, say goodbye next year, and it's not too late to go out of the cabinet at eighteen the year after next. Speaking of this, Cheng Mengxing made a long gesture and said: "My brother will entrust his cousin with everything in the family." ”

Cheng Mengkun couldn't persuade him, so he could only sigh, waved his hand, and said, "Whatever you want, whatever you want." ”

After all, Cheng Mengxing is the head of the Ceyuan family, and Zihezi's sister and brother all went to the dock to see them off.

After Cheng Mengxing finished talking to his cousin, he had to explain a few words to his daughter, so that he could serve his aunt and take care of housework; Then, he said a few words to his son who studied diligently.

Zihe led his younger brother to respond obediently, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Cao Hao, who was greeting his cousin not far away, and remembered what he heard in the upper room of Dangui Courtyard.

Mrs. Gu, who has raised her for several years and has always relied on and respected her the most, has that unbearable life experience.

This world is not as beautiful as it is said in the play.

In her own heart, she couldn't tell whether she should despise Mrs. Gu or pity Mrs. Gu.

After Cao Hao left, Mrs. Gu entered the back room and was not surprised when she saw her at a loss.

Zihe's panic gradually subsided, and looking at Mrs. Gu's calm and waveless eyes, she understood that Mrs. Gu remembered that she was in the back room from beginning to end.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Cheng smiled a little bitterly, lowered his head and said, "I have been so filthy in my life, I shouldn't have listened to your grandmother's words and returned to the Cheng family......"

Zihe was soft-hearted in the end, and said busily: "Mrs. Gu is the daughter of the Cheng family, what's wrong with returning to the Cheng family?" Besides, after my grandmother passed away, my brother and I relied on my aunt to take care of me. ”

"These filthy things should not be heard by an innocent girl. It's just that you, like me, lost your mother when you were young, and lost your parents' teachings. You have to remember that the world is difficult, especially women, and you can't make a mistake in half a step. Half of my life has been bumpy, I can't recognize my sons, I can't return to my family, all of them are the difference of a thought when I was young. Cheng sighed and said.

After all, this is a matter for the elders, no matter what Zihe thinks, it is not easy to comment, so he can only be silent.

I heard Cheng's quiet words: "Before your grandmother died, she asked your father to set up a tomb for me outside the Cheng family cemetery, and I persuaded you twice, but I didn't stop your father. Your father did this because he thought I had no children. As a woman, I can tell you these things, but I have no shame to tell my father. Now that you know this, I'll tell your father in a hundred years. ”

Zihe raised his head and asked in a ghostly manner, "Mrs. Gu...... You want to be buried in the Cao family......"

"Haha!" Hearing this, Cheng couldn't help laughing, but his expression was more ugly than crying: "Buried in the Cao family? What kind of face do I have to meet my ancestors...... After my death, cremation, ashes...... Sprinkle it directly on Qingliang Mountain in Jiangning, and let the Buddha surpass me, a guilty person......"
