Chapter 443: The little prince puts on a big show
No one knows a son better than his mother, and similarly, a son also understands his mother.
Knowing which direction to say will make her suspicious.
Look, the always smart and clever Concubine Mi was also successfully deceived. Worry immediately covered her pretty face: "This... is not impossible! After all, they are about the same age, and they both oppose marriage. The backyard is so clean that not even a blade of grass grows."
"Two years ago, I followed the rules and selected a maid for him, but she was rejected. I told the emperor about this, and he said that he was still young and his body had not fully grown yet. It would be bad for his health if he started to develop his intelligence too early."
"Later, he said that he had no intention of getting married until the Dzungars were destroyed. Now that the Dzungars have been destroyed, he has urgently asked for a job..."
He escaped to the point that Concubine Mi began to doubt her son's orientation.
Now that I think about it, it may be that the boy has someone in his heart, and he is playing a game of "There is no cloud except the one in Wushan"!
Concubine Mi held her chin in her hand and said, "He is hiding this, could it be that he is just like Hongxi, knowing that under normal circumstances, your Khan Ama would never agree?"
Honestly, she didn't want that.
After all, the fact that the Fifteenth Brother took the initiative to marry the daughter of a lowly official in order to find true love had already made her suffer enough open and implicit ridicule.
She hopes things will go more smoothly for Sixteen and Eighteen.
Don't cause any more trouble.
but……
What about my son's lifelong event? If he marries the wrong person, what's the point of talking about it?
Concubine Mi was conflicted, thinking all day about how to write a letter to her second son in a tactful yet sincere way to express her support and advice.
Finally, Yinxuan got peace of mind by sacrificing his brother.
But Empress Mi was quiet, while the court was in turmoil.
Without it.
Although Kangxi issued the imperial decree at lightning speed, he directly decided on the candidates for Hongxi and Hongyu's legitimate wives.
But Hongxi's identity was too special, and Kangxi did not hide his love and cultivation of him at all.
Once the crown prince's position was consolidated, in the eyes of many ministers, Hongxi would be the next crown prince and the next emperor.
The position of his wife is very important and should not be taken lightly.
As a result, the noble ladies of the Eight Banners were almost twisted into a dough stick, and the emperor issued an imperial decree to make a Han woman the legitimate wife of the emperor's grandson?
Ouch!
Doesn’t this break the ancestral rules?
Your Majesty, if you don't get the Yuan card, you can't enter the palace!
When Prince Rui broke into the Forbidden City and welcomed the late emperor into the capital, the first decree issued by the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng was: Anyone who brings a Han woman with bound feet into the palace will be beheaded!
Now that the heroic spirit of the old Empress Dowager is not far away, are you so openly appointing a Han woman to be the principal wife of your grandson?
This……
"What's this?" Before Kangxi could do anything, the Eighteenth Prince, who was born to Concubine Chun Han, got angry: "You are so old-fashioned, always talking about ancestral rules and regulations. Your ancestors told you to be good at riding and shooting, and not to forget your roots. Why haven't you written a letter to ask to go outside the Great Wall to ride horses and hunt, pick pine nuts, and dig ginseng?"
"I……"
"How dare you! I am the Prince of the Heshuo rank personally appointed by the Emperor, a true descendant of the royal family. You address me in front of me, isn't that an act of usurpation? According to the law, you should be taken out and beaten with a stick!"
The little brother put on a big show.
The person who was speaking was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
Yinzhen neither said he forgave nor he said he did not forgive, he just said he had more than ten or twenty brothers, and nephews as numerous as stars in the sky.
The one he favored the most and loved the most was Hongxi.
What I want most is to see him live a healthy life and get what he wants.
The child was about to turn twenty, and there was not even a maid in the house. He finally had the idea of getting married and having children, and he would never allow anyone to disrupt it, otherwise he would be charged with murdering the heir to the throne and trying to hinder the smooth inheritance of the Qing Dynasty!
The old member of the royal family who first brought up this matter was frightened and trembled on the spot: "Eighteenth Master, you, you can't..."
"Hush! Don't be so arbitrary. You don't know how crazy an uncle who is devoted to helping his nephew find a way out of singleness can be. But for the sake of Ninth Brother's safe and smooth business trip, I worked day and night and managed to build a ship."
'If you are not convinced, just do it. I don't mind coming up with something else to send you and your family away'" The cruel look in his eyes!
The old clan member was so frightened that he almost wet his pants, and hurriedly asked the Eighteenth Master not to misunderstand him, saying that he was also doing this for the sake of the Qing Dynasty.
Yinzhen said indifferently: "Maybe! But have you ever thought that according to your opinion, I, my fifteenth brother, sixteenth brother, seventeenth brother, twentieth brother, and twenty-first brother should not have been born. And..."
"As the old saying goes, it takes two to tango. Khan Ama, who has taken the initiative, should bear greater responsibility. So the question is, how are you going to punish him and solve the problem from the root?"
What a fellow, not only he does not shy away from it, but he also puts the blame on the emperor!
What’s even more terrifying is that the emperor also felt that what the Eighteenth Prince said was not groundless.
I'm just saying clearly that if you have the guts, come at me!
It's so funny. If anyone really has that ability, how could he be the one sitting on the dragon throne?
Everyone was trembling, but still trying to make a last-ditch effort for their own interests.
cough cough.
They are all veteran politicians, who doesn’t know who?
Rather than having more Han women as imperial grandsons' consorts, or more likely the next empress, what they feared more was the fact that the emperor no longer advocated the unity of Manchus and Han people.
Since entering the Shanhai Pass, the Eight Banners have lived a carefree life with the imperial court taking care of everything from birth to death. If the Manchus and the Han were truly united, wouldn't their special treatment be gradually reduced or even completely abolished?
No no no.
Such a good hardcore crop, we can't lose it!
But unfortunately, the result they did not want was exactly the new policy that Kangxi decided to slowly implement after a long discussion with the princes.
Compromise is impossible.
After the Eighteenth Prince had picked out the thorns, the Crown Prince took over.
Don’t the royal family and Manchu nobles abide by ancestral rules and unwritten rules?
The prince then said that the data on the harm of inbreeding has become more and more detailed in recent years. He asked them whether they would still ruin the future of the Qing Dynasty for those unwritten rules in the face of hundreds of thousands of cases?
The question left everyone stunned.
Some people may say that choosing Manchu or Mongolian women does not mean close relative marriage, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that the major families have been intermarrying with each other for nearly a hundred years.
It's so complicated, with relatives within relatives, it's really hard to find one that meets the standards!
Even if there are those who meet the requirements among the old or small surnames outside the Great Wall, what about appearance, manners, talent and character? She is the candidate for the next queen, and we can't choose a girl who has nothing good except her Manchu and Mongolian origins!
In the silence of the room, only Yinzhen's complaints sounded particularly cheerful: [It's what you deserve! You guys have nothing better to do than to step up and take care of everything. Is this okay now? Are you stupid because of my second brother, the crown prince? Humph! A magpie landed on a black pig - you can see the blackness of others but not your own blackness. You deserve to be scolded to death by my second brother, the crown prince...]
