Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 140 Head Shaving
Before the New Year of the 37th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, Li Guangdi packed his bags and took Jiang Chen to take office.
Jiang's mother was the most reasonable. Jiang Chen was easily let off just because he explained clearly that it was to plead for Li Guangdi;
Jiang Mufang had the least convenient information and had no way of knowing the previous dynasty's movements, so he could only write a letter to scold Jiang Chen;
Yixiu was the calmest. She knew that Li Guangdi's trip was smooth and successful. She received a note from Jiang Chen saying "Don't worry" and a lot of books for Honghui's enlightenment.
Jiang Chen had originally planned to personally control Honghui's study direction, but now that this has happened, he can only ask Yixiu to do it remotely. Fortunately, Honghui has just been born, and Jiang Chen will return to Beijing in three years at the latest, so everything is still in time.
Jiang Chen followed Li Guang onto the carriage and left the capital. He lifted the curtain and looked at the capital city which was getting smaller and smaller in his sight, and then he felt a little melancholy.
Li Guangdi sensed the change in Jiang Chen's mood and said, "It's too late to regret now."
Jiang Chen explained: "I'm not a student who regrets it, it's just that at my age now I understand what homesickness is."
Li Guangdi said with a smile: "You are just at the stage of 'making up a new poem to express sorrow'."
Looking at Jiang Chen's slightly unconvinced expression, Li Guangdi was the one who had no place to go. He was nearly sixty years old, his parents had both passed away, and his life was just a journey home. With one foot in the coffin, he only had one obsession left, which was to become a prime minister. He didn't know if his old bones could hold out until then.
Liu Youyou watched the master and disciple leave the capital and could only silently wish them well in her heart, then she got busy.
Since Emperor Kangxi divided the princes, the location of the princes' mansions has been planned. After several years of construction, it is finally completed. Liu Youyou began to count her belongings. She had to supervise the move of the entire mansion, so she had to prepare in advance.
The first major event in the 38th year was the death of Zhang Jia, the biological mother of the Thirteenth Prince in July. In fact, it was not a big deal for a concubine to die in the Forbidden City. In view of the fact that Zhang Jia gave birth to such a smart and clever son, the Thirteenth Prince, Kangxi posthumously conferred the title of Min Fei on Zhang Jia, and the matter was over.
But no one knew what the Third Prince was thinking. He actually shaved Concubine Min’s head before the hundredth day of her death.
In order to gain the recognition of the Han people, the royal family raised the banner of filial piety.
According to the rules, when a concubine dies, the prince should observe mourning for 100 days, not eat meat, not play music, and not shave his head or beard to show his grief.
No one knew what the Third Prince was thinking. There was no one around to remind him, so he went to the court openly with his smooth head.
When the Third Prince appeared in front of everyone with such a hairstyle, the officials wanted to bury their heads in the ground and pretend not to see. What the hell is wrong with Prince Cheng? Please don't implicate us.
The princes could hardly hold back their facial expressions. The Fourth Prince's face turned dark. He and the Thirteenth Prince were as close as brothers. Now that the Third Prince was being so disrespectful to the Thirteenth Prince's mother, how could the Fourth Prince have a good face?
"Third brother, how come I don't know that today is the hundredth day since Concubine Min passed away?" The Fourth Prince pointed it out bluntly.
The Third Prince was stung by the Fourth Prince's words and realized something was wrong. He touched the top of his head in panic, wondering why he had shaved his head and why no one in the mansion reminded him.
The Third Prince himself could not be blamed for this matter. Ever since he showed partial favoritism to the concubine, the concubine had been living a secluded life with her son. The Third Prince was rejected many times by the concubine and was very upset. He did not notice that his head was shaved clean after he took a bath.
Fortunately, the Thirteenth Prince is not yet old enough to attend court, otherwise it is hard to say what he would do.
Before the Third Prince could figure out how to respond, Liang Jiugong had already started cracking his whip, which meant that Kangxi was about to arrive.
The court officials finished their final grooming and took their seats.
Kangxi was in a good mood today. He sat on the dragon throne and was about to make a quick decision. He glanced down casually.
Well, Baocheng is worthy of being the prince I personally raised, he is very handsome. The eldest brother is also good, brave and upright.
Kangxi looked down and found the figure of the third prince hiding behind the eldest prince. What was Yinzhi (the third prince) doing? What had he learned about the rules for so many years?
The Third Prince's avoidance did not achieve his purpose of hiding himself, but instead aroused Kangxi's desire to explore.
Kangxi leaned forward calmly, wanting to see what the Third Prince was playing. The position of the dragon throne was high up, and there was nothing that Kangxi could not see.
After a careful look, Kangxi saw the shiny forehead that the Third Prince wanted to hide. Kangxi was in a bad mood. What kind of idiot did Yinzhi do? Kangxi did not ask them to respect the concubines in the harem, but this is your brother's biological mother! Don't you even care about this little brotherly love?
Kangxi continued to attend court in an unhappy mood. He was in a bad mood and his words became more and more harsh.
"Everywhere is reporting to me about the weather. It's ok for other places, but do we need to report to the capital? Am I blind?"
"And this, I think the mango is just a curiosity, but I think it's just ordinary. They even waste the people's money and effort to offer it as a tribute, showing no mercy to the people at all."
......
Kangxi was unhappy. This roll call was like a death list, and those who were called were so scared that they fell to their knees.
Kangxi let out a sigh of relief, and the morning court was over. Finally, Kangxi ordered: "Yinzhi, come find me after the court session."
Then Kangxi left the court angrily.
The Third Prince was named and kept wiping the sweat from his head. This time the Emperor was really angry.
The Fourth Prince snorted coldly, turned around and wanted to leave without paying any attention to the Third Prince.
The third prince could only consider himself unlucky and wanted to confess his crime to Kangxi.
But faster than the Third Prince was the Thirteenth Prince who had been waiting outside. As soon as he saw the Third Prince coming out, he rushed over, grabbed the Third Prince and raised his fist.
The Third Prince knew he was in the wrong and let the Thirteenth Prince swing his fist.
The other princes can’t just stand there and watch the fun. If Kangxi gets to know about this, he will definitely remember it!
The Fourth Prince was the most anxious. The Third Prince's death was not a pity, but the Thirteenth Prince was committing a crime of insubordination, so no matter how right he was, he became unreasonable.
So the Fourth Prince pulled the Thirteenth Prince with all his might and pulled him off the Third Prince.
The Thirteenth Prince's eyes were bloodshot. His mother gave birth to a son and two daughters but was still an unofficial concubine. The Thirteenth Prince had always thought that if he had a bright future, he would be honored as a mother by virtue of his son, and Zhang Jia would also have a status. The Thirteenth Prince could not even think about the position of concubine, but his mother would always be worthy of being a concubine.
But Zhang Jia died suddenly, leaving only the Thirteenth Prince and his two sisters. Kangxi did confer the title of Consort Min on Zhang Jia for the sake of the Thirteenth Prince, but what was the point of conferring the title? It was just to comfort the living. The Thirteenth Prince wanted a living mother.
