In a blink of an eye, it was the sixteenth day of the winter lunar month, the day when the Holy Spirit left for Nanyuan. After the fifth watch, Shu Shu and Jiu Age woke up.
Brother Jiu yawned and said, "The sky is cloudy and it's probably going to snow. If it snows, don't go over to Ning'an Hall. If you're worried, ask someone to pick up the two children and wait for me to come back." I can send away Seventeenth Gege and Nineteenth Brother." Shu Shu's body was heavy, so he didn't bother. He was still leaning on the kang, looking at Ninth Brother and said: "Please be careful to catch the cold, don't use the heater in the carriage. It's easy to catch a cold when it's cold or hot, so bring a hand stove." Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Yeah, um, no need, don't worry, I know how to take care of myself." After a while, breakfast was brought over, which was sesame seed cakes. Filled with pork and seaweed egg drop soup, it's very filling.
After the ninth elder brother finished eating, he put on the end cap and left the main courtyard. Starting from the first day of winter, the princes of the clan, distinguished ministers, and the guards of Qianqing Palace all changed their end caps.
In the front yard, Cao Shun, Erhe, Chunlin and others were already waiting. Brother Jiu yawned and looked at the lanterns hung in the houses on the left and right.
Going to Nanyuan today, Erhe and Chunlin led their bodyguards and troops to accompany them. Cao Shun did not go with them, but he came early to see them off.
But isn't it too quiet in the direction of Babeile Mansion? Brother Jiu glanced at Cao Shun and said, "The people over there have left?" Cao Shun nodded and said, "Half a minute ago, he and Sibeile left on horseback. You're talking. At that time, the tenth prince came over. He did not ask someone to prepare the carriage alone, but planned to ride directly in the ninth prince's carriage. As for the mount, it was held by the guards. The guards and guards of the two families were combined into one, and the group also After leaving Beiguanfang. In the carriage, the tenth elder brother said: "If we really want to siege according to the colors of the flags, does the ninth elder brother want to win?" The ninth elder brother said: "I do, but it doesn't matter if I lose. I won't reward you with blue this time." A." The tenth elder brother said: "Maybe there are other prizes?" The ninth elder brother was moved when he heard it, and said: "What would it be? Directly give silver, or reward Zhuangzi?" Tenth elder brother said: "Rewarding silver for this one. The possibility is not high, the teacher is unknown, so we can't just reward the sons. As for whether it is Zhuangzi, I can't guess." Brother Jiu touched his chin, thoughtfully, and said: "It can't be Khan Amma who wants to support the younger brother. Son, right? None of us brothers are short of property, only thirteen..." Speaking of this, he curled his lips and said: "If you really want that, what better? If you win, will you also have to complain? Being criticized for not being friendly enough**?" The Tenth Prince: "..." The emperor's father has been very fond of the Thirteenth Prince in the past two years, but he has not reached this level.
Just seeing him surpass the fourth elder brother and let the thirteenth elder brother go to sacrifice Mount Tai, you know that this favor is watery. Doesn't he know that this is flattery?
Brother Jiu felt uncomfortable when he thought about riding and shooting in the past two days. He complained in a low voice, "It's the same with Khan Ama. The ruler is short and the inch is long. If you want to loosen the muscles and bones, just loosen the muscles and bones. It's nothing." What's the comparison? We are all people who have families and careers. Who doesn't want to be decent? We have to rank them to make people worry!" Last year in the twelfth lunar month, there was a blue armor hanging in the front, so it was more meaningful to compete.
Now this time, even if he was teasing Mengzi, it would hurt the friendship to show off his true temper. Seeing that the tenth elder brother did not answer the call, the ninth elder brother couldn't help but worry, and looked at him carefully, and said: "You want to win? Then Don't do it at this time. Khan Ama has had some relapses in the past two years. It may not be a good thing to show off at this time." The tenth elder brother was a little surprised and said: "What did the ninth elder brother see?" The ninth elder brother frowned and said: "Let me see. Now, Khan Ama wants someone to be stronger than the prince, but he doesn’t want anyone to be stronger than the prince.
In bursts, look at the eldest brother and the fourth brother, they are hiding, let’s just follow suit.” The tenth brother nodded and said: “What the ninth brother said is that it’s better not to stand out at this time, and not to fall behind...” In front, the fourth brother Brother and Eighth Prince rode side by side.
The eighth elder brother thought of the good bow he had prepared, and he had more expectations in his heart. The rankings... the ones he needed to pay attention to were the eldest elder brother, the third elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother.
There is also the tenth elder brother, who has also started to make his mark this year...the fourth elder brother's face is tense and his back is straight.
It was a cold day and the wind was biting. He wanted to ride in a carriage. If the eighth prince hadn't urged him, he would have taken the ninth prince's carriage.
It's just that in the future, except in the Yamen, it's not good to be too close to Brother Ninth. Otherwise, it would seem that he has great ambitions to win over Brother Ninth.
Be careful not to make a big mistake, and be on guard against being criticized. The eighth brother suppressed his excitement, but the two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time. He didn't know what to say, so he casually said: "It's been a long time since I've eaten roast venison. It's going to be a good night." It's a delicious meal." The fourth elder brother responded: "It's the time to nourish." The eighth elder brother remembered that the annual tribute from the Heilongjiang general had arrived, and the Jiubele Mansion bought a lot of tribute surplus.
Not only this time, the Duanyang tribute, the Mid-Autumn Festival tribute, and Jiubele Mansion have all sent people to buy them. Are you too greedy for food?
The eighth elder brother narrowed his eyes. The ninth elder brother made a lot of money from selling land in Xiaotangshan, and the dowry industry under the name of Dong E's family was also famous for its good business.
The ninth elder brother was someone he grew up with, and he had no ambitions. The one he had to guard against was the tenth elder brother. As the son of a noble concubine, the tenth elder brother was arrogant. Is he really willing to be inferior to others?
If the tenth elder brother had his mind set on it, the ninth elder brother would not only be a hardcore man, but also a moneymaker. This was something that the eighth elder brother could not tolerate.
He wanted to think of some way to drive a wedge between Ninth Elder Brother and Tenth Elder Brother... When Ninth Elder Brother and Tenth Elder Brother arrived at the gate of Daqing and were waiting, Ninth Elder Brother sneezed several times one after another.
The tenth elder brother couldn't help but worry and asked: "Did you catch wind?" The ninth elder brother shook his head and said: "It's okay, I guess who is talking about me, is your ninth sister-in-law worried about me?" The tenth elder brother: "..." There are five children in the house. Isn’t Sister-in-law Jiu busy enough?
I'm afraid I really can't remember that my ninth brother came. The princes, princes and ministers who accompanied him to Nanyuan all came. When Maozheng arrived, the royal chariot left the palace gate.
A group of people left the city surrounded by royal chariots, horseshoes
Amidst the sound of "da da", they headed to Nanyuan in a mighty manner. At the second quarter of the lunar month, the group arrived at the paddock of Nanyuan.
The holy driver entered the palace, and the accompanying princes and princes were waiting behind him. After a while, Liang Jiugong came out and delivered the emperor's oral instructions, ordering Prince Jian and Prince Yu to meet with the princes.
Everyone filed in. The ninth elder brother and the eighth elder brother walked side by side, feeling uncomfortable all over. He always felt that the eighth elder brother's eyes fell on him for a moment.
The gaze made people feel uncomfortable. The hair on his head stood up. When the group of people entered, they saw round stools placed on the ground.
After greeting everyone, Kangxi ordered everyone to sit down. The atmosphere was very relaxed, a bit like father and son, not like a monarch or his ministers.
Kangxi looked at the crowd and said: "This time there will be two rounds of siege and hunting. Today we will hunt with three flags. Each flag will choose 200 bodyguards to protect the siege. The Yarjiang A palm will hold the white flag, and the Baotai palm will hold the yellow flag... "Speaking of this, he looked at his sons.
Now that we have come to the paddock
, naturally they all want to play. The third elder brother, the eighth elder brother, and the thirteenth elder brother have eagerness on their faces.
The eldest elder brother and the seventh elder brother could not tell whether they were happy or angry. The fourth elder brother lowered his eyes and held a rosary in his hand. The ninth elder brother bared his teeth and smiled, a bit flattering, and then looked away guiltily, not daring to confront Kangxi. See.
The tenth prince raised his chin, looking arrogant. Kangxi looked around and said: "Yinbao's palm is decorated with a yellow flag..." The three of them stood up and bowed in response.
Kangxi looked at the others and said: "Others will follow me to raid the formation..." Prince Jian was arrogant and couldn't help asking: "Khan Ama, will there be any prizes for winning?" Last year, the Lanjia siege was held. , they all know that although they are not greedy for those things, having a lucky draw will give them more fighting spirit.
Kangxi said lovingly: "General Xi'an has presented two Hequ horses as tribute. Whoever gets the first prize will be rewarded with a royal horse!" Who doesn't love horses?
The Hequ horse is famous for being tall and mighty, and those who can offer it as a royal horse are selected from the best. Yaerjiang Amo was ready to fight, glanced at the eldest brother and Prince Yu, and said: "Brother, brother Baotai, this If you come back to me, you'll have to meet me!" By coincidence, the eldest brother has no other preferences.
In addition to drinking, he also likes horses. Since the lottery is his favorite thing, it doesn't matter anything else. He didn't want to let it go. He raised his eyebrows and said: "It's a little early to say this. Please look back carefully to talk!" Yarjiang'a and San'a My elder brother is Tonggeng, five years younger than my eldest brother.
In the eyes of the eldest brother, he was a tough guy on the outside but soft on the inside. Baotai looked at the two of them full of fighting spirit and clenched his fists, feeling ambitious.
I don’t want to lose. I am Prince Yu’s eldest son. In addition to representing myself, I also represent the face of the palace. I can’t let others laugh at me for not being able to teach my son well.
Baotai followed up and said: "Compared with my two brothers, I have no other advantages. I am just a few years younger. I will try my best..." He is five years younger than Yarjiang'a, and he is twenty-one this year.
The third elder brother's eyes are almost red. However, this result is not unexpected. If one of the princes is chosen as the representative, it will only be the eldest elder brother.
As long as the eldest brother is around, the emperor's father cannot see him, even if he is both civil and military. The third brother understands this truth again.
On the mountain in front of me, in addition to the prince, there was also the eldest brother. The third brother smiled, with a haze in his eyes.
Brother Si was relieved. But he also knew that since there were two games, the next one should be the eight-color flag.
I avoided it today and will wait and see tomorrow. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ordered so many sons to come over. The eighth prince looked at Yaerjiang'a and Baotai with envy.
Although these two are descendants of the clan, one is already Prince Heshuo and the other is the future prince.
On the contrary, these princes have too many sons, and those who are not the eldest or the direct descendants, even if they are crowned kings, will not be all of them.
From now on, he is no longer a prince. According to the clan title ranking, they are all behind Yaerjiang'a and Baotai. Brother Jiu also understands that everyone else today is just a make-up, and they should be participating in tomorrow's game.
He was bored, so he turned around and whispered to the 10th and 13th elder brothers on his right: "It seems boring for us to do this, why don't we bet on the outcome?" Seeing that the 9th elder brother was interested, the 10th elder brother said: "Then the 9th elder brother Brother, I want you to be the boss?" Seeing this, Brother Thirteen hurriedly whispered: "Brother Ninth, Brother Ten, let's forget it..." This involves gambling, and it's easy to get into trouble... *Next update, tomorrow at noon
