The room was quiet, except for the cry of Brother Fourteen.
Kangxi felt his temples beating.
Flesh and blood...
Emperor Taizu killed his brother, his son, his son-in-law, and his grandson; Emperor Taizong killed his brother, sister, and nephew...
Even before Emperor Shizu came to power, he was forced by Dorgon to bear the name of killing his brother.
Kangxi himself, when he first came to power, also killed many yellow belts.
However, he did not want his children and grandchildren to kill each other.
His expression was solemn, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Brother Si.
The fourteenth elder brother said this, which made the fourth elder brother embarrassed.
The fourth elder brother has always been respectful to the prince, and these words also involved the fourth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother sighed inwardly, then knelt down and said: "Khan Ama, the fourteenth elder brother is hysterical..."
What is it if not hysteria?
Such speculation about the crown prince...
The Thirteenth Brother also knelt down, wanting to say that the Fourteenth Brother was timid, but was the Fourteenth Brother really timid?
You dare to say such things to others.
Is this an act of unfilial piety and unfriendliness by killing the prince? !
Kangxi looked at his fourteenth brother.
The ears are branched, red and bright, and the tears and snot are mixed together. It doesn't look pitiful, but more hateful.
Kangxi's expression turned cold and he said, "Is this what you do? When you make a mistake, you either hide or cry?"
Brother Fourteen twitched, slowly stopped crying, and said: "My son is just afraid..."
"Are you afraid that you are justified?!"
Kangxi looked unkind: "You did something wrong, and you didn't want to reflect on it or apologize to your brothers, but instead beat you up? According to what you said, why aren't you afraid and asked the prince to come over and apologize to you? I shouldn't scare you. Promise to give you an iron-hatted wife and long-lasting wealth?"
The fourteenth elder brother raised his head and said with grievance: "Khan Ama, you must know that your son didn't mean that?"
Kangxi scolded: "Then what do you mean? You are fourteen this year, not four. What will be the consequences if you know what you said? The prince was negligent and forgot your birthday gift. It was his fault. You have nothing to do with it." Wrong? You have no regrets about hurting others, and you are still playing tricks on me! How come I have a son like you?!"
The fourteenth elder brother trembled and looked at Kangxi, feeling that he had nowhere to hide.
Kangxi looked disappointed and said: "You are making such a fuss and insisting on labeling the prince as ruthless and retaliating against his brothers. Why? Just to make the prince endure this tone in vain and show kindness to you. Yes, but why? Since you have made a mistake, I can't punish you? Your brothers can't blame you?"
The fourteenth elder brother is also a son of De Fei. The character of the fourteenth elder brother is completely different from that of the fourth elder brother.
Selfish and ignorant of the general situation.
For the sake of his own dignity, he hurt the prince's dignity and had no respect for the prince.
Thinking of this, Kangxi looked at the fourth and thirteenth elder brothers who were still kneeling and said: "Get up, why are you kneeling with this bastard? I am from Hutu, and I am angry with you for this bastard..."
Brother Fourteen was at a loss.
He didn't expect that after crying, he would get not comfort, but disgust.
Fourth elder brother was silent.
He knew that Khan Amma had done it on purpose, revealing Brother Fourteen's little thoughts, attributing Brother Fourteen's resentful words to others, and minimizing the impact of the incident.
Kangxi looked at the fourteenth elder brother again, with a depressed expression, and said: "Even if you dare to do it but don't do it right, you can't escape the punishment. You will be demerited twice and your monthly payment will be suspended for three years..."
Brother Fourteen was a little confused after hearing this.
He understood that the monthly payment would be suspended for three years.
Fifty taels per month, six hundred taels a year.
It doesn't matter, he currently has more than 20,000 taels of silver in hand, and there is also a subsidy from the empress, so he is not short of money.
What does it mean to have two demerits?
He has only heard of those who record merit...
After Kangxi finished speaking, he stood up and left.
He was a little confused.
He turned Brother Fourteen's words into a small plot and wanted to play it off, but he still listened.
Why doesn't he want to see Actun?
It was because Aktun beat the fifteenth brother in the study room...
The child does not teach, the father too.
Kangxi couldn't express his anger at the prince, so he put all the blame on Akedun.
But everyone knows that a nine-year-old child's education comes from his parents.
If the prince has any affection for his fifteenth elder brother, how dare Akedun and his Haha Pearl bully the prince?
It's just that it was awkward at the time, but Kangxi didn't want to think too badly of the prince, and just regarded it as an oversight.
The words of the fourteenth elder brother just now made Kangxi alert.
Regardless of what happened to the prince here, whether he would be friendly to the younger brothers below him in the future, the younger brothers became more wary of the prince and worried about being bullied.
People's hearts are all for one another.
This kind of precaution and fear will also make it difficult for the prince.
The fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother followed him out.
Kangxi walked to the door of the third house, stopped, looked at the fourth elder brother and said: "The fourteenth elder brother is not young anymore. You, Fujin, have to take care of two children. You should be considerate and send the fourteenth elder tomorrow." I’m going back to the palace to recuperate, so there’s no need to crowd them all in one place.”
Even if they are brothers, they don't have to be tied together.
The fourth elder brother was diligent in running errands and had many strengths in government affairs. Kangxi planned to train him well and leave him at the mercy of the prince, but he did not want the fourteenth elder brother to interfere in the middle.
Brother Si was a little hesitant after hearing this.
The fourteenth elder brother is not a mature man, and none of his elder brothers have a girl, and the eunuchs and nuns around him are about to change again.
Kangxi frowned and said: "Listen to me, don't indulge him anymore, let him stay in peace after returning to the palace, and the homework in the study room has stopped. It is useless to learn more knowledge. You must learn to be a human being first..."
This means being grounded.
The fourth elder brother bowed and said: "My son obeys the order."
Kangxi looked at the thirteenth elder brother again and said: "After the new year, you should go to the Ministry of Revenue. First, follow the fourth elder brother to check the tax revenue of Zhili in recent years. It snowed heavily in the capital last year. We must prepare for the spring flood this spring. After a few days, I will I’m going to visit Jidian, so you can go with me when the time comes.”
The thirteenth elder brother also bowed in response.
After the holy driver left the third palace, he went to the first palace.
The eldest brother was already waiting at the door to welcome the holy driver in.
Looking at the eldest son with a peaceful expression, Kangxi's expression moved slightly and he said: "In the past few years, you have been cultivating yourself and your character, and you have lost a bit of vigor."
Young people, how can they not be energetic?
The eldest brother is in his prime, the time to make achievements.
His eldest son cannot just be a county king.
The eldest brother said: "As soon as my son Fujin left, my son became anxious, fearing that he would have less time to spend with his children. The fate between children and their parents lasts for half a lifetime, but when it comes to the days of getting along, these are the past ten years. When the eaglets grow up, they all fly away.”
Kangxi shook his head and disagreed with his eldest brother's idea.
He regretted that he did not appoint his eldest brother to succeed Fujin the following year after his death.
Being a father and a mother at the same time, my spirit was completely drained.
Kangxi came to visit Hongyu.
The father and son arrived at Hong Yu's place while they were talking.
Hongyu was awake, half-sitting on the kang, wearing a middle coat, holding his belly with both hands, and his face squeezed into a ball.
Kangxi wore royal blue uniforms and walked in front of his eldest brother. He looked familiar.
These little brothers, who were studying in the upper study room, met Kangxi only a limited number of times, but they also met Kangxi.
When Hong Yu recognized the person, his face became more respectful, and he turned over to get off the kang.
Kangxi sat on the edge of the kang, held down his little arm, and said, "No need to worry about it, Khan Mafa will come and see you."
I didn't pay attention to Hong Yu earlier, but now it seems that he is unworthy of his father.
At this age, the eldest brother had a strong head and a strong body. When he returned to the palace, he and the Empress Dowager were extremely happy.
From this look, he looks like a prince who can stand upright.
Sure enough.
At the moment, Hongyu and Xiao's mother looked well-behaved and calm.
Hong Yu pursed his lips and said more shyly, "Then my grandson, do you want to kowtow to Hanmafa?"
Kangxi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'll wait until you get better."
After hearing this, Hong Yu immediately said, "The grandson is well now."
Kangxi looked at his stomach and said, "Looking at you frowning just now, are you feeling sick in your stomach? You can't hide your illness and avoid medical treatment."
Hong Yu hesitated for a moment and said: "My grandson either has a stomachache or is hungry. He wants to eat, but this morning the dining room only gave him millet porridge..."
Kangxi looked at his eldest brother and said, "What's going on? Do you have medical advice?"
"Um!"
The eldest brother responded and said: "I am young, my stomach is weak, and the soju is strong. Even if the ninth brother induced vomiting before, the symptoms were much milder, I still need to drink porridge for two days to nourish my stomach."
Kangxi nodded, looked at Hong Yu and said, "It's been half a day. If you persist for another day and a half, you can have some cake. What kind of cake does Hong Yu want to eat?"
After hearing this, Hong Yu felt eager and said, "Can we eat dumplings stuffed with leeks and shrimps? Dip them in sesame oil and garlic. Uncle Ninth Family has them. Uncle Fourteen took Nersu to eat them..."
He likes to eat shrimps, and he also likes to eat leeks.
How delicious would it be to make dumpling fillings with these two ingredients?
Kangxi nodded and said: "Okay, Hongyu, be good, Hanmafa will ask someone to bring you dumplings stuffed with chives and shrimp the day after tomorrow."
Hong Yu's face was filled with joy, he glanced at the eldest brother next to him, and plucked up the courage to say: "Khan Mafa, can you give thirty dumplings to your grandson?"
Kangxi smiled and said, "Are you even prepared to pay for your Ama?"
Hong Yu nodded and shook his head and said: "There is Ama, as well as the eldest sister, the second sister, the third sister, and the fourth sister. Ama will eat ten, and each of us will have four!"
This is a good boy who is filial and affectionate.
Kangxi felt relieved, touched Hongyu's little head, and said: "Hongyu's math skills are good, this is correct."
Hong Yu blushed and said, "But my grandson's homework is not good. He doesn't understand the contents of "The Thousand-Character Classic", and there are some characters in "Hundred Family Surnames" that he can't remember."
This child is really honest and well-behaved.
Kangxi said lovingly: "You are young and have only been in school for a short time. If you review the past and learn the new, your foundation will gradually be solid. You are already doing well now."
There is no child who doesn’t like to hear praise.
Hong Yu's face turned red and he looked at his eldest brother and said, "Ama, Ama, Khan Mafa praises me!"
The eldest brother nodded and said: "Amma heard it. Didn't Amma also praise you? Hongyu is smart. There is no need to compare with others. If we really want to compare, it will be compared with Amma when he was a child. He has better homework than Amma when he was a child. Amma couldn't sit still at that time, and her copying was sloppy, not as careful as Hongyu's."
Hong Yu's eyes were bright and his mouth was grinning.
When Kangxi came out, he said to his eldest brother: "Someone said in front of Hongyu that he was not good at studying?"
Otherwise, how could a child be so unsure of himself?
The eldest brother didn't take it seriously and said: "There shouldn't be one. Even if there is, it's not intentional. Hong Yu and his younger brothers are in the same class as Hong Xi. Hong Xi is two years older and has better homework. Mr. I often praise Hongxi..."
Kangxi looked at his eldest brother and said: "Raising a son is not like this. It is not just about dressing and eating. Education is the most important thing. You have neglected it..."
The eldest brother said: "The gentlemen who go to the study are carefully selected by Khan Amma. There will be no mistakes. Just study for a few more years and it will be fine."
Kangxi shook his head and said: "By then it will be too late if the child doesn't like to study. You still need to pay more attention and encourage more..."
After hearing this, the eldest brother couldn't help laughing and said: "When Khan Amar taught his son, he only gave instructions and no encouragement."
Kangxi hummed and said: "You were like a monkey at that time. You were happy when you arrived at the school, and your butt was on fire when you entered the study. If I didn't train you too hard, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to read all the words. Hongyu is well-behaved and a knowledgeable person." A shameless good boy deserves to be praised..."
