Brother Jiu recalled his childhood lessons, his face squeezed into a ball, and he said: "It's the master who went to the study room who was wrong. He should explain things to children step by step. Instead, he immediately endorsed them and regarded them as the truth. Some even said no.
Understand, it’s normal not to learn this..."
Kangxi hummed and said, "Then how come other people learned it?"
Brother Jiu thought about it seriously and said, "I guess everyone knows a little bit about it. They know it but don't know why. Let's just pretend to understand!"
Kangxi said: "Okay, don't force your words."
Brother Jiu said with grievance: "My son is telling the truth, but you don't like to hear it. As for this math lesson, one plus one equals two. It is fixed and has empirical evidence; but in the "Book of Changes"
, ‘One life is two, two begets three, and three is the source of all things’. Isn’t this nonsense? You can’t see it, you can’t touch it, you can only prove it in your heart.”
Kangxi scolded: "You are not allowed to talk nonsense and show superficiality. Knowledge is knowledge, and principles are principles. What the sages have summarized is what you have learned. There is no need to dig into the bottom of it!"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "My son is now older and understands this truth. When he was a child, he didn't understand this truth when he was studying. He always felt awkward and couldn't learn anymore."
Kangxi retorted: "Why do I remember that this is not the case? After reading it a hundred times, the meaning will be apparent to you. Others have done it. Have you done it?"
If you always find ways to be lazy and have a weak foundation, you will struggle to learn later and your homework will be poor.
Brother Jiu blinked his eyes and said: "How long ago this happened, my son is in a trance and can't remember clearly!"
Kangxi looked at him and said: "It's hard for you to grow up to be so old, but you feel ashamed. Read more in your free time. Don't turn around and become an Ama and be rejected by your son as uneducated and unskilled..."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu puffed up his chest and said, "That's not possible. My son has to be a strict father. If the little boy doesn't obey, he will be beaten three times a day!"
Kangxi was displeased by what he said and said, "Let's talk about it after we stand upright. Whose good boy was born in a fight?"
The father and son talked about raising their children for a long time with the emperor's grandson in his arms.
Liang Jiugong listened happily.
The steadiness of this ninth elder brother really has a time limit, and his true form will show up accidentally.
Because of the mention of the emperor's grandson, Kangxi also thought of the young brothers he met at the ninth prince's house early last month.
Some of the older ones will be able to be educated next year.
He then said to Brother Jiu: "Pure out the courtyards of the Third and Fourth Houses in Qiandong and prepare for the envoy next year."
Brother Jiu nodded, and then he felt something was wrong, and said: "Khan Ama, Xiao Liu will be six years old next year, so it's okay to move to the palace; Xiao Qi will be four years old next year, if he moves to the palace, won't he be too young?"
Kangxi's face did not change and he said: "Then clean up all the courtyards of the third, fourth and fifth houses in the East. The third house will be given to the sixteenth elder brother, the fourth house and the fifth house will be given to the emperor's grandson for backup."
When Brother Ninth heard this, he became interested and said: "Khan Ama, if my nephews will be enlightened after the new year, shouldn't they be notified now? It takes time to choose reading companions..."
Kangxi nodded and said thoughtfully: "Yes, the eldest son of the eldest brother Zhun, the eldest son of the third elder brother, and the eldest son of the fifth elder brother entered the study room and started enlightenment together with the sixteenth elder brother and the second elder brother of Yuqing Palace; the eldest son of the fourth elder brother and the seventh elder brother
My eldest son is one year younger, so he can be enlightened with his seventeenth elder brother the year after tomorrow..."
Brother Ninth was happy at first, but then regretted and said: "The eldest son of that son will be enlightened together with his nineteenth and twentieth uncles!"
Kangxi looked at him and said: "Nineteenth uncle? Twentieth uncle?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "I am one year younger than my eighteenth uncle and nephew. I wonder if Khan Ama will have two princes next year. They will be in the same year..."
Who in the palace doesn't know that he and his concubine are favored?
Whenever the cards are turned over, one of the two times it will be the new leader who dotes on Zhengsheng. Doesn’t this kid come just as he says?
Kangxi waved his hand and said: "Go down, don't be so playful, I don't lack a son."
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "Prince Wen Baizi, Khan Ama, you are not even halfway there yet..."
Kangxi hummed and said: "This is too much. I should have stopped when I was born to the eighth prince, so that I can be less angry!"
Brother Jiu didn't like hearing this, as if he was just being naughty.
He thought about Eighth Prince for a while, without commenting.
He started with the seventh elder brother and said: "Looking at what you said, my eyes seemed to be blurred, as if I could see something wrong with my son..."
"Is your seventh son obedient? He is very stubborn and not very smart..."
You don’t even need 230,000 taels of silver. You are simply not like ordinary people.
"What about your fifth son? He sounds nice and has no evil intentions. In fact, he is like a child. His ears are also soft. He can fool others with just a few kind words. How much care has the imperial grandmother taken..."
"Your fourth elder brother was no better than your son when he was a child. He would get sour when he said something that didn't go his way. Now he also likes to show off his face, and loves to scold others when he talks or talks. The fourteenth brother avoids cats and mice whenever he sees him...
"
"And your precious third son, you should really check up on Chuoerji back then to see if he was too slow to treat you, and why did you develop a habit of not being generous?"
"And your great eldest son is really honest, that is to say, his son has no bad intentions, or else he has defrauded him of all his family wealth?"
Brother Ninth commented one by one, feeling that no one should laugh at anyone, as they all have their own faults.
Kangxi looked at him, looked him up and down, and said, "I didn't expect you to learn how to read people?"
Brother Ninth said proudly: "Of course, now and then, there are so many old fools in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who can fool my son?"
Kangxi couldn't see that he was proud. He looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "Go back and tell those elder brothers what Brother Jiu said, so that they can get closer to each other!"
Liang Jiugong should be neither, nor should he be.
Brother Jiu's expression froze and he quickly begged for mercy: "Khan Ama, please stop, isn't this a private whisper between father and son? In the heart of a son, he respects his brothers with the utmost respect, and that is the best.
The most loyal brother!"
Kangxi reprimanded: "Don't you understand the principle of 'disease comes in from the mouth and misfortune comes from the mouth'? You are not allowed to speak freely in the future!"
Brother Jiu covered his mouth and responded obediently: "Well, well, I won't say anything anymore, son."
Don't let Khan Ama be bored when she wants to watch the drama of "brothers fighting against each other" and sell themselves out...
When Brother Nine went out, Kangxi shook his head.
Immediately, he noticed something was wrong with Brother Jiu.
The ninth elder brother is mentioned from the seventh elder brother, and the eighth elder brother is not mentioned.
It seems that the two brothers are really estranged.
Zhenglan flag...
Kangxi hesitated...
*
Go to the study door.
The fourteenth elder brother watched eagerly. When he saw the ninth elder brother coming out of Qianqing Palace, he trotted forward and said with bright eyes: "Ninth brother, ninth brother, Khan Ama called you, is it to pay a visit to the mausoleum?"
thing?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "You and Thirteen should also pack up, and Fourteen will set off..."
Today is the ninth day of November, which will be five days later.
The fourteenth elder brother nodded repeatedly and was very happy.
Brother Jiu joked: "Isn't it too close?"
Last time the Thirteenth Brother went to patrol the Yongding River with his retinue, the Fourteenth Brother kept talking about it for several days, and what he said was that he disliked being close.
In fact, the holy cavalry traveled two hundred miles that time, and this time it was two hundred and seventy-eight miles, which was not much farther than the last time.
The fourteenth elder brother whispered: "What can I do? I don't have to choose. My brother wants to go to Shengjing to see it, but it's a pity that Khan Ama didn't choose me..."
He was also puzzled.
Isn't it normal for the elder brother to be on duty and bring the younger brother to help him?
Why has it changed now?
He stretched out his fingers and calculated with the ninth elder brother: "In the twenty-ninth year of Kangxi, the third elder brother was only fourteen years old, so he accompanied the prince to the palace to meet the emperor, which was eight hundred miles away from the capital; in the thirty-second year of Kangxi, the eighth elder brother
Once when I was on an errand, I followed my third and fourth brothers to Qufu to worship Confucius, a journey of 1,100 miles from Beijing..."
If he could go to Shengjing with the prince this time, it would be a far cry, more than 1,300 miles away.
With a look of dissatisfaction on his face, he muttered to Brother Jiu: "Does the prince think that I am young and don't like to take care of others?"
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "This time, Khan Ama felt sorry for the precious prince to stay in Beijing for a few years and arranged for him to go hunting in the winter to relax. It was not an errand. It was a two-month round trip. It was the time when you should go to school. Why?
Will you be let out to play with me?"
After hearing this, the Fourteenth Brother also understood the truth and said: "Then I look forward to the northern tour next year."
This year's northern tour is from the direction outside the mouth, next year it should be from the direction of Mulan Paddock, right?
He was still thinking about holding the flag and marching around.
At this moment, Brother Thirteen also came out. Seeing the two of them talking outside, he asked, "Isn't it cold?"
Brother Fourteen shook his head and said: "It's not cold."
But Brother Jiu sneezed and said, "No, I have to go back and drink hot water!"
After that, he urged his two younger brothers to go back to the study, and then he went back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Behind him, the fourteenth elder brother felt strange and asked the thirteenth elder brother: "Why do you need to drink hot water?"
Brother Thirteen said: "It's cold now, drink a few sips of hot tea to warm yourself up!"
Brother Fourteen recalled that he went to No. 2 Hospital, and it seemed that he also fell in love with hot water there.
*
While he was talking, Brother Jiu arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After drinking two large cups of hot tea to dissipate the chill from his body, he called Zhang Baozhu and gave instructions in an orderly manner.
You can first prepare for the Holy Driver’s tour and notify the palaces along the way to prepare for the pickup.
The second step is the repairs of the third, fourth and fifth Qiandong Institutes.
No construction work is done in the winter, and besides, these three places were previously occupied by people and do not need to be repaired. They are mainly kept clean.
Judging from the time when the fifteenth elder brother will enter school this year, the emperor's grandson's initiation should be in the first month of next year, leaving less than two months.
The ninth elder brother came out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and went directly to the Yamen of the Ministry of War. Sure enough, he blocked the elder elder brother and told him about Hongyu's enlightenment.
The eldest brother said with joy: "I was still worried about how to enlighten him, Khan Amma is kind, so we can save our worries."
When he found out that the three grandsons entered the palace in the same year, the eldest brother felt more relieved and said: "It's good, the younger brothers still have company..."
Brother Jiu said: "The concubine will be there by then, and she won't be anywhere else. She will stay at my brother's house."
The eldest brother has nothing to worry about.
Hongyu is the eldest son and will be his heir in the future. It is not a bad thing to enter the study and gain the attention of the emperor...
Before that, among the emperor's grandsons, only the elder brother of Yuqing Palace had this privilege.
It's a pity that the prince is not in Beijing now. Otherwise, he would be furious to death after hearing this news.
We have been fighting each other since we were young, and we have gotten to know each other better.
