Chapter 70
Soetu is not in good condition recently. Since he got close to the young prince, his smart head has been used to speculate on the wishes of His Highness the Crown Prince. Now, unless the emperor is here, he can restore some witty wisdom.
Prince Gong obviously does not have the ability to wake up the sleeping Soetu, and his hint, Soetu misunderstood.
Soetu: What does he mean? He intends to impeach me? Did he forget that he was also a member of the imperial tomb with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Or did he intend to tell the emperor that the crown prince could understand the goose words?
It’s ridiculous. The emperor has long known the magic of His Royal Highness!
Soetu straightened his back, not afraid of Prince Gong's meaningful eyes.
After Prince Gong sent back to Yinreng, he was going back to Xiaoling. The emperor asked him to guard the imperial tomb. Most of the time he was still with the tomb of the late emperor to live a life of pure heart and less desire. As for when this guarding ended, it was not accurate anyway. It all depends on when the emperor would be relieved. Chang Ning was not worried at all.
He also invited Yinreng: "The prince can come to Xiaoling more often to talk to the emperor's uncle."
"Uncle, Khan Ama hopes that his nephew will be mourning for his mother," Yinreng whispered: "My nephew cannot always disturb the emperor's grandfather and put his mother aside. Why not send a message between us with flying goose?"
Feige sends a message?
Prince Gong suddenly realized and immediately agreed.
The Crown Prince said that he could not drive the geese, and now there are all messages from flying geese.
Not only is the prince powerful, but even the geese he raises are spiritual!
In the Qing Dynasty, there were flying pigeons sending messages, but that was only used for letters from home, and it was a one-way flight, which could only deliver messages at a short distance, and it also used the characteristics of the pigeons' return to the nest.
All important information and military information should be mainly about sending people and sending them. It is too unreliable to send messages to Fei Ge!
They will fly to their homes, and will not go to places they don’t know, and will avoid dangers, delay time, and have too many factors of unstableness.
The pigeons raised in the Qing Dynasty army were all used to send signals, and no one used them to transmit military information.
Now His Highness the Crown Prince mentioned that the flying goose sent a message. The goose had no return home attribute. Swans loved lakes and were content with the situation. They could let them send messages to themselves. The Crown Prince was powerful but did not know it.
Yinreng: What happened to his son and his daughter running away?
After Prince Gong left, Soetu whispered to Yinreng: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is not too worried. Prince Gong is not reliable. This time he came to guard the imperial tomb because he angered the emperor."
When Yinreng heard that there was an inside story, he hurriedly brought a small stool and sat in front of Soetu.
"San Grandpa, please tell me quickly, Baocheng wants to hear the story."
Soetu smiled. He saw that there was no one around, called Yinreng to the inner room, and sent someone to guard outside, starting today's "Three Grandpa's lecture" time.
He told Yinreng the truth over the past thirty years: "The rebel Wu Sangui had a son named Wu Yingxiong. Thirty-six years ago, Wu Sangui made contributions when he led the Qing army into the pass, but he was ambitious and had long been determined to rebel. The situation was serious at that time. Twenty-eight years ago, the Empress Dowager discussed with the late emperor and presided over the court to temporarily use marriage to appease Wu Sangui. His son Wu Yingxiong married Princess Heshuo Kechun, the 14th daughter of the ancestor, as his wife."
"Wu Yingxiong stayed in the capital as his son-in-law, and repeatedly promoted him to the title of official position. The late emperor even gradually promoted him to the crown prince Taibao, but he could not teach the emperor to learn, that was all false titles."
Soetu asked Yinreng: "Does the prince know what happened later?"
later?
Yinreng: "I heard that Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and united with the Three Feudalists to cause a lot of trouble for Khan Ama. Khan Ama sent many people to suppress the rebellion."
My childhood memories were already blurred, and he only remembered that Khan Ama was very busy at that time... so busy that he wanted to take care of himself, but he had no time to take care of him, so he let him live back and forth between the Empress Rong and Zhaoren Hall.
He was so busy that he always had some annoying people around him. The palace maids were disobedient, the nanny talked randomly, and he was hungry, so he taught him randomly. It was not until he promoted the nanny Xu that the nanny people around him became orderly.
"I seem to remember that Khan Ama is so tired that she wet the bed," Yinreng thought hard. It seemed that something was indeed happening, and he even made himself cry.
Soetu: "..."
He seemed to know too much!
Soetu's trust in the little prince made him imagine Kangxi wet the bed. He let out an unbearable breathing sound and murmured: "There is such a thing."
At that time, he was busy fighting with Nalan Mingzhu, and he was so tired that the emperor wet the bed...
Thinking about this, Soetu was extremely glad that the young prince was born. No wonder the third prince and the fourth prince were born later, and the fourth prince were in poor health since childhood. There was another prince who was born with the fifth prince and died prematurely before his term.
Thinking about this, Soetu said guiltily: "It's the old minister who feels guilty of the emperor's trust."
Fortunately, now he can bear the trust of the emperor. He must fulfill his responsibilities as a qualified foreign relative to guide the crown prince and teach him the cruelty of power disputes!
"Eight years ago, Wu Sangui rebelled outside, and Wu Yingxiong was still a proton in the capital," Soetu said in a deep voice: "The tiger poison does not even eat the baby, but Wu Sangui does not care about his son who is still hostage in the capital."
Yinreng covered his mouth and exclaimed: "If you dare to rebel like this, then Khan must be very angry. Did you kill him?"
Soetu explained: "At that time, killing the hostages would not vent its anger. Wu Yingxiong was killed in order to stabilize the morale of the army and keep Wu Yingxiong, which was also to be hostages to negotiate with Wu Sangui."
Yinreng said for granted: "He has rebelled, of course he can't regret it anymore. If he regrets it any more, he is capricious and Khan Ama will kill him."
Before Soetu could explain it clearly, the Crown Prince himself had already figured out the interests of it halfway!
"Your Highness is worthy of being the crown prince whom the emperor is holding by his side to teach. You are right, Wu Sangui refuses to reconcile with the emperor."
Yinreng: Oh, Wu Yingxiong's life will definitely not be saved.
"Nalan Mingzhu submitted a report to the emperor, asking the emperor to put national affairs first and not to care about the princess's affair with the emperor's aunt, and to execute Wu Sangui and his eldest son. As for the two infants, they lived in the palace with the princess, because the Empress Dowager asked for mercy."
Soetu asked Yinreng again: "Your Highness knows the Three Feudatories, which are the Three Feudatories?"
"I only know that Wu Sangui is one of the vassals," Yinreng shook his head, he had no idea about it.
"Wu Sangui is the King of Pingxi, and there are also King of Pingnan Shang Kexi and King of Jingnan Geng Jingzhong, who stayed in Yunnan, Guangdong and Fujian respectively. After the Qing Qing army entered the pass, anti-Qing and restoration of Ming Dynasty in various places frequently. There are the peasant rebel Li Zicheng, and the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty moved south to rebellion. At that time, these three vassal kings were set up to allow them to lead troops to fight and station troops and grain in order to pacify the anti-Qing uprising in these places."
"As a result, Khan Ama saw that the anti-Qing people were almost dealt with, and he felt that the vassal kings had too much power and wanted to withdraw the vassal?" Yinreng suddenly realized: "I heard Khan Ama mention the word "withdrawal of the vassal kings" before."
"In fact, the situation is not as simple as His Highness the Crown Prince thought. At that time, the purpose of conferring the situation was to worry about the situation, and then withdrawing the vassal king was also to the situation. The Three Feudals would be in chaos. Even as the emperor expected, the decision to withdraw the vassal was also the result of repeated discussions and weighing between the emperor and us important officials."
Soetu recalled the hardships of the past few years. Everyone racked their brains to solve the problems of the emperor. Every day, they would discuss the situation of the Qing Dynasty with their subordinates at dawn. However, they did not expect that the news of Queen Hesheli's death after giving birth was reported in the palace half a year later.
Fortunately, the Queen left her bloodline so that the Hesheli tribe would not be busy with her work and receive the goods in vain.
His Royal Highness is favored by the emperor, but he is so outstanding.
Soetu is more kind.
Yinreng shook, for some reason why the third grandfather suddenly gave him a feeling of a wolf grandmother, which made him feel cold on his back. He looked at the third grandfather and thought of Donald Duck who died young again, and the vigilance that rose in his heart quietly dissipated.
"Prince Gong took Wu Yingxiong and the princess' daughter as concubines," Soetu told Yinreng a terrible little secret: "After Yunnan pacification, the emperor wanted to kill Wu Sangui's grandchildren, and the two youngest and eldest daughters born to Wu Yingxiong could not escape. Prince Gong saved the woman from the execution ground and begged the emperor to allow him to take him as concubines, and said that he could not help himself. Your Highness, do you think the emperor is angry?"
Yinreng scratched his head and followed the third grandfather's thoughts, and immediately felt that it was not easy for Khan Ama.
Khan Ama killed Wu Sangui's descendants because they rebelled and the sin of rebellion was clearly written in the Qing Dynasty. He also read the first edition of the Qing Dynasty law written by the late emperor on the side of Master Du. It was a serious sin that implicated the nine clans!
Of course, grandchildren are also within the nine clans. In fact, even the princess is there. It’s not right, it shouldn’t be calculated like this. Otherwise, if the marriage is included, then Khan Ama himself is within the nine clans?
Yinreng was confused again. He asked Soetu dizzily: "How is Khan Ama's aunt now? Is she dead?"
"The Empress Dowager is graceful and sent someone to take care of the princess and allow her to live in the cold palace for her retirement."
[Does the children really stop thinking about it? Confucius said: "What you believe in is the eyes, but the eyes are still not trustworthy; what you rely on is the heart, but the heart is still not reliable. It is not easy for disciples to remember it, and it is not easy to know people." Confucius said that we should have comprehensive considerations about things, and we should not just listen to one-sidedly. If the angles are different, there will be different results.] It seems... something is wrong.
Yinreng felt that he should not follow the ideas of the third grandpa and Khan Ama.
He thought from the perspective of the Empress Dowager: "Three Grandpa, is the Empress Dowager also in a difficult situation? Because this marriage was made by her." She might be ashamed of the princess, right?
Soetu smiled and said nothing: "It can be said the same."
With his understanding of the Empress Dowager, she would feel guilty for the result of the marriage decision she made in the first compromise. It was not for the princess, but for the emperor. Killing Wu Yingxiong's family would damage the emperor's reputation.
But even if the reputation was damaged, no court officials opposed the emperor's killing of the rebels, and it was already kind to leave the princess's life.
That princess is not the daughter of the Empress Dowager, how could she feel guilty for the daughter of the ancestors and concubines?
Soetu did not tell Yinreng these cruel things that the emperor would not allow him to tell the crown prince that there was anything wrong with the empress dowager.
Soetu said this in order to advise Yinreng: Prince Gong did not care about the emperor's face when doing things, and His Royal Highness would stay away from him so as not to be implicated by him.
Yinreng thought about it and said to Soetu: "Three Grandpa, Gu thinks that 'Auntie' is the worst."
The husband died, the son died, and the daughter almost died, but she asked her nephew to save her and became her concubine.
Prince Gong protected the princess' daughter in this way. This was wrong, but it was a helpless move and it was very humane...
Soetu was silent for a moment and said earnestly to Yinreng: "In the face of the interests of the Qing Dynasty, the princess is like a mayfly. The world is small. Your Highness will think about problems in the future. You cannot start from the love of children. Emotions will make people cowardly. You should not act in a willful manner or be influenced by emotions. Inappropriate sympathy will only affect your judgment and cause disaster for you."
Yinreng listened with a comprehension, thinking that what the third grandfather said made sense!
but!
Confucius said: "What you believe in is the eyes, but the eyes are still not trustworthy; what you rely on is the heart, but the heart is still not reliable. The disciples remember it and it is not easy to know people."
The words of the saint make sense. He cannot just listen to the words of the whole family. He must take a questioning attitude to look at things in a comprehensive way.
Master Du said that there has never been the best choice, and there is only the most suitable choice to get the best results.
Yinreng already had his own learning concept, so he decided to listen to different voices more and not just listen to the words of his third grandfather's family.
For the sake of the third grandfather's face, of course, he could not directly say to the third grandfather, "I don't plan to listen to your family's words."
He nodded vigorously and said to Soetu seriously: "Grandpa San is so nice! You are right, thank you for your teaching."
Modesty and steady, observe carefully, listen more and think more, and raise questions, this is the learning concept of a good student.
Of course, it is also important to show respect to the teacher. Look at how happy the third grandfather is, the wrinkles on his face are smiling.
Soetu was very satisfied with his results of the Prince's teaching. He believed that these three months would be enough for him to win the Prince's trust and become a person who could influence the Prince's concepts and ideas!
