In mid-May, the army successfully returned to the capital. The fourteenth prince led 500 cavalrymen to cross the Qilian Mountains and bravely broke into the enemy camp. The heroic deeds of Galdan were also adapted by the storytellers into a storybook with ups and downs of plot.
, followed by the most famous opera troupe in the capital adapted the story into a drama - "Emperor Kangxi: The Great Young Son".
As soon as the storybook and drama came out, it immediately caused huge waves in the capital.
For a while, all the major teahouses and theaters in Menjing City put aside their stories and took turns telling stories during the day about the miraculous achievements of the Fourteenth Prince on his first expedition.
The fourteenth prince became famous in the Qing Dynasty and became so red and purple!
Some ordinary people who have little information on weekdays don’t know that the crown prince in the palace is actually not the emperor’s eldest son as they mistakenly thought, but the emperor’s second elder brother. But they all know it from scripts and dramas.
The emperor's youngest son is the fourteenth elder brother of the imperial concubine.
"It's true that a tiger has no son. Brother Fourteen is a young genius who is very capable in fighting!"
There are countless words like this.
Not only the common people of the Qing Dynasty were paying attention to this war, but also the foreigners from various countries who were doing business or preaching in the Qing Dynasty were paying attention to the second personal conquest of Galdan by the Qing emperor.
The young Yinzhen's achievements were so eye-catching. After the war ended and the army returned to Beijing, Yinzhen's reputation not only spread throughout the Qing Dynasty, but also spread with merchants and missionaries from various countries, including Japan, England, France,
The monarchs and common people of Tsarist Russia and other countries also knew more or less about the situation of the Qing Emperor's youngest son.
Tsarist Russia is covered with snow most days of the year, and summer’s stay in this country is extremely short.
In mid-May in Tsarist Russia, the temperature was very pleasant, and patches of birch forests stretched their green leaves in the bright sunshine.
The gentle wind in early summer ruffled the lake water.
Princess Elizabeth, who is more than three years old, is wearing a golden tutu with a ring of diamonds. Her fluffy chestnut curly hair is tied into a curly bun with a diamond headband by the palace staff, and a hair is inserted in front of the bun.
Small crown.
The afternoon sun cast a dazzling golden light on little Elizabeth's crown.
At three o'clock in the morning, little Princess Elizabeth was sitting on a soft chair at the door between her father and mother. Her big clear black and white eyes looked at the red stage not far away, where a group of Tsarist Russian theater actors in colorful clothes were standing.
A play is performed above - "Emperor Kangxi: The Great Young Son".
Although little Elizabeth had never been to the Qing Dynasty, her mother had told her a lot about the people and things of the Qing Dynasty.
Every month, little Elizabeth receives gifts from her maternal grandparents and biological uncles and aunts who are far away in the capital.
In Little Princess An An's perception, the Qing Dynasty is her mother's hometown. It is an ancient country with four distinct seasons and delicious food everywhere.
She raised her furry little head and looked left and right, and found that her father and mother were both intently watching the drama above.
Her father's brows frowned for a while, and relaxed for a while. Although her mother's eyes were full of tears, the expression on her face was proud.
Little Elizabeth actually couldn't quite understand what the drama in front of her was about. She pursed her pink lips, turned around, stretched out her two short arms, and threw herself into her mother's arms, blinking her eyes like black grapes.
eyes, curiously asked with a milky voice:
"Mother, when are we going to visit the Qing Dynasty? An'an wants to go to the capital to see Guo Luomafa, Grandma Guo Luoma, and her uncle and aunt."
Hearing this, Muldenger lowered his head and looked at his daughter's pink, round, fleshy face. Before she could speak, Peter, who was sitting next to her, patted his daughter's back with his hand and looked at her gently.
Looking at his queen, he said:
"Gege, An An is getting older. It's time for us to go back and see Ama and E Niang. Why not go back at the end of this year and let An An know what the Spring Festival of the Qing Dynasty is like."
When Muldenge heard Peter's words, the tears in his eyes rolled out of the door in an instant, and he nodded with a smile.
The last time she saw her mother-in-law was when she was giving birth to Elizabeth, and now three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past, she and Peter had almost never left Moscow because they were worried that their daughter was too young and would not be able to take care of her. They thought they could finally go home this year.
…
Kangxi, who was far away in the Forbidden City, had just watched the "joyful" scene of the empress dowager spanking her young son's butt with a feather duster while crying and laughing, when he received the letter of credence sent to the Qing Dynasty by the Russian envoy sent by Peter:
At the end of the year, Tsar Peter and Empress Muldenge will come to the Qing Dynasty with their beloved daughter, Princess Elisabeth. The family of three plans to live directly in Prince Yu's palace instead of in the inn.
Kangxi couldn't help but smile when he saw Peter's seriously written credential. After he ordered Liang Jiugong to deliver the credential to Prince Yu's palace, he couldn't help but rub his chin with his hand and thought: His three daughters also married into Mongolia.
New Year has passed, and now that Galdan is dead, Moxi has to rest for a few years. So we might as well invite our daughters, sons-in-law, and granddaughters to come to the capital this year to have a reunion New Year together.
Kangxi did as he said, turned around and went back to the imperial study to write a letter.
On the other side, after receiving the good news that her daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter were returning to her parents' home for the New Year for the first time this year, when Fuquan and Siruc were busy, they couldn't help crying with joy and busily sent their servants to repair the courtyard of the palace.
Fuquan was so happy that tears filled his eyes, and he even beat his hands while walking.
After hearing the news, Changquan and his family, the Fujin Hesheli family, were also very happy. One missed their sister who married far away from the Great Wall, and the other missed their classmates.
The young couple also got together to discuss what they should prepare as a meeting gift for their mixed-race niece, so that they could leave a beautiful and profound memory of their grandfather's family to the princess niece.
Prince Yu's Mansion was busy from top to bottom welcoming Da Gege home.
In the blink of an eye, the fruits in the front yard of Menchuxiu Palace turned red one by one, and the capital city entered the scorching summer.
In mid-July, Crown Princess Guarjia, who was pregnant in ten months, successfully gave birth to a little brother who cried loudly in Yuqing Palace.
Kangxi had been waiting for many years to finally have his eldest grandson. As soon as his eldest grandson was born, Kangxi could not wait to see his lovely eldest grandson day and night.
Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the fragrance of osmanthus blooms.
As the leader of the third generation of the royal family, the eldest grandson of the legitimate emperor had a noble status and was both legitimate and eldest son. Therefore, Kangxi held a grand full moon ceremony for his grandson in Changchun Garden.
After the full moon ceremony, Kangxi named his eldest grandson "Aixinjueluo Hongxi".
"Xi Zhe, it's dawn, it's dawn."
"Xi" and "Xi" are both the emperor's reign name "Kangxi" and the imperial concubine's title "Jingxi".
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the concubines in the harem guessed after hearing the name of the eldest grandson of the legitimate emperor. If the future prince successfully ascended the throne, then the eldest grandson of the legitimate emperor would be personally selected by Long Live Lord, and it was certain that he would be the fourth emperor after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs.
Little Hongxi is growing up very fast. He sleeps, cries, and raises his head every time.
When he learned how to turn over in his crib like a little turtle on all fours, the leaves outside the door and window turned yellow in the blink of an eye, leaving the branches one by one, like falling white snow torn cotton wool.
On the red wall and gold tiles, it was the end of the twelfth lunar month in the thirty-fifth year of Kangxi's reign.
In mid-December, Peter and Muldenge took their daughter Elizabeth across the border in a comfortable carriage and entered the capital. They married Princess Chunxi, Princess Rongxian and Princess Duanjing of Monan Mongolia and their three sisters.
The consort also returned to the capital with their respective daughters, Yuanyuan and Lele.
On the New Year's Eve of the 35th year of Kangxi's reign, the family banquet was extremely grand, and everyone gathered together.
Prince Yinreng, who was handsome in appearance and elegant in temperament, was wearing an apricot-yellow auspicious suit. He was holding a wine cup in his hand and laughing elegantly with his cousin-in-law, Tsar Peter, about the Academy of Sciences.
As soon as he turned around, he saw his four-month-old son sitting in a stroller. He was wearing a fluffy golden tiger head hat on his round head, and his small body was wearing the same golden-yellow Ji Ji as his uncles.
He took the clothes and rolled his clear, auspicious eyes that looked exactly like his own.
The little baby was drooling at the corners of his mouth and was talking to the four beautiful girls who gathered in front of him to play with him: Halahachi, Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, and Lele, babbling something that no one else could hear.
If you understand, when he said he was excited, his little yellow eyebrows flew up happily, and he put his little chubby hands together and slapped them "papapapa", and he didn't know how happy he was.
, the saliva flowing down his soft little chin wetted the saliva pocket he wore around his neck.
Yinreng shook his head in a funny way.
He was looking at his son, but he didn't know that his mother, Khan, was also looking at him with a smile on her face.
Of the people present, only Kangxi, Imperial Physician Zhang and Liang Jiugong knew that even though Kangxi's injured right arm had been treated as much as possible after returning from the battlefield, it still had the root cause of the disease due to the delay in the Qilian Mountains.
Amidst the joyful and lively singing and dancing, Kangxi looked down at his right hand without any trace, which was trembling uncontrollably.
He pursed his thin lips and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. Now, whenever he approves too many papers, his right hand will tremble uncontrollably. Doctor Zhang said that the meridians in his right arm are damaged.
, he could not be cured well.
Kangxi took his eyes back from his trembling right hand and used his left hand to pick up the wine cup on the long table in front of him. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the person sitting next to him with gentle eyes, smiling and talking to his grandniece Elizabeth.
His beloved concubine, and then he scanned all fourteen sons and seven daughters from beginning to end.
His fourteen sons and seven daughters were all outstanding. With a warm smile on his face, Kangxi thought of the important decision in his heart, raised his left hand, raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
…
It snowed heavily all night on New Year's Eve.
In the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi's reign, the Year of the Ox came quietly with the sound of crackling fireworks and firecrackers.
This year is another triennial election year.
Before the first month of the lunar month was over, Dafujin Yiergenjueluo was diagnosed with pregnancy.
After Concubine Hui, who lived in the cemetery and guarded the mausoleum, heard the good news, she paused for a moment while tapping the wooden fish with her right hand. After a moment of silence, she curved her mouth and continued to close her eyes and tap the wooden fish "bang bang bang".
.
This year's Eight Flags draft was even more exciting than three years ago.
On February 2, the dragon raises its head.
Kangxi first awarded rewards to a group of sons who followed him to the battlefield last year.
The eldest brother Yinzhi was named "King of Zhijun", and the third elder brother Yinzhi was named "King of Chengcheng".
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen, the fifth elder brother Yinzhen, the sixth elder brother Yinzuo, the seventh elder brother Yinzhen, and the eighth elder brother Yinzhen are all "Doro Belle".
The fourteenth elder brother, who was in his early fifteen years, was also given the title "Dolo Baylor". As the youngest Baylor in this dynasty, he had one more title with the word "Xun" than his brothers.
"Those who are shy should be humble and cautious."
Kangxi hoped that his old son, who was impetuous and fearless, would behave more calmly in the future.
After the canonization of a group of sons, Kangxi rubbed his hands and began to grant marriages to his sons, daughters, nephews, and nieces.
Princess Kejing, who was born with a strong personality, came together with the shy and timid prince Borzigit Dundobdorzi of the Chechen Khan tribe in Mobei. However, Kangxi was reluctant to marry his daughter to Mobei and specially ordered people to do so.
The Fourth Princess's Mansion was built in the Guihua City of Monan, so that the Fourth Princess could be closer to her elder sister who was married to Monan.
The fifth princess Wen Xian, who looked very similar to the Empress Dowager Cihe, became the only princess in the Kangxi Dynasty who stayed in the capital. Kangxi gave his fifth daughter to the junior of his mother's clan - the eldest grandson of the Tong Jia clan, Shun Anyan.
Got a royal wedding.
The son-in-law of the Sixth Princess born to the Nala nobleman is the future famous super brave prince - Borzigit Celen.
The youngest seventh princess's consort is the fourth-breasted prince-in-law, and the sixth-breasted prince's good brother is Borzigit Cangjin.
After the three daughters' Yuelao red ropes were pulled up, Kangxi carefully selected a Jiufujin "Dong E family" for his ninth son Yinzhen who was also very interested in making money. The Dong E family's A
Ma is a capital official in the 70th year of Dutong, with the rank of military officer.
The direct descendant of the tenth prince, Yiner, is the little Mongolian girl he met at the Monan Wool Factory, the legitimate youngest daughter of the Prince of Wu Erjin Karapu—Borzigit Shadali.
The direct niece of the eleventh elder brother Yinxuan, Fujin, is the direct niece of his concubine Niu Hulu, the eldest daughter of Faka, and the first cousin "Niu Hulu" of the eleventh elder brother Yin'er.
The direct descendant of the twelfth elder brother Yishen was the crown prince's Taibao, and the legitimate youngest daughter of the great scholar Ma Qi, named "Fucha".
The 13th elder brother Yinxiang's direct descendant Fujin was Zhaojia, the youngest daughter of Malhan, Minister of War.
The direct descendant of the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen was Wanyan, the youngest daughter of Luo Cha, the Minister of Rites.
An imperial edict conferring marriage was sent out from the Qianqing Palace, and many emperors and princes rose up one after another in the inner city.
The sun rises and the moon sets, and in the blink of an eye it’s summer in the Forbidden City.
In mid-July, the emperor's eldest grandson held a Zhou Zhou Ceremony in Changchun Garden, which was more grand than the Full Moon Ceremony.
After the Zhou Zhou ceremony was over, Kangxi reluctantly separated from his eldest grandson.
The prince and his family moved out of Yuqing Palace and lived in the Prince's Mansion, also known as Changchun Garden.
At the beginning of September, the weather turned slightly colder. Kangxi did not return to the Forbidden City, but left the prince to supervise the country, taking the empress dowager, the imperial concubine, the fourth beile, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother.
This is my second trip to Jiangnan.
The Jiangnan Weaving Cao family was so happy that they couldn't close their mouths when they received the news of the emperor's second southern tour.
During the last Kangxi tour to the south, Cao Yin's father, Cao Xi, was still alive, and Cao Xi took over the emperor.
This time, Cao Yin replaced his father Cao Xi to welcome the Holy Emperor.
Cao Xi's stepwife was also Cao Yin's stepmother Sun. As Kangxi's nanny, the Emperor's personally named Lady Feng Sheng specially brought a pretty girl with big watery eyes, Wang, to her side before the emperor arrived in Jiangnan.
.
In mid-September, the dragon boat driven by Sheng arrived in the south of the Yangtze River.
Jiangnan weaver Cao Yin led a group of officials from Jiangnan to kneel down to greet the Holy Master.
Kangxi took the empress dowager, the imperial concubine and the six emperor's elder brothers, four, nine, ten, 12, 13, 14, and followed Cao Yin to live in the Cao family courtyard.
The royal family had just arrived at the Cao Family Courtyard. Mrs. Sun, who was wearing a ruby on her head and a first-class wife's royal uniform, was leaning on a polished and shiny crutch, and was leading a group of sons, daughters-in-law, daughters, and grandsons.
, the granddaughters rushed forward to greet him and shouted excitedly:
"I would like to send my regards to the Lord Long Live, the Queen Mother, and the Imperial Concubine."
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, the empress dowager is a thousand years old, the imperial concubine is a thousand years old."
"Nanny Sun, get up quickly, you are my old man! No need to be polite!"
Kangxi smiled hurriedly and raised his hand to help Sun.
Sun's face glowed with joy.
Qingyan did not come during Kangxi's first southern tour. She had memories of later generations and looked at everyone in the Cao family curiously.
Fourth elder brother Yinzhen, who was standing behind the imperial concubine, glanced roughly at the female members of the Cao family and couldn't help but frown.
When he caught a glimpse of the crutch in Sun's hand, his handsome face suddenly darkened.
