Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 323: Peaceful and Elegant
The most important matters of the previous dynasty had been arranged, and Yongzheng should also bring the wives, concubines, and children from the palace into the palace. It would be impossible for the emperor to enter the palace while his concubines were still staying outside.
As Yongzheng's most trusted thirteenth brother, the thirteenth prince was kept in the palace by Yongzheng, working overtime in the morning and evening to handle affairs. Yongzheng did not shy away from discussing this matter with the thirteenth prince, "Then it's time to bring your sister-in-law and others into the palace."
The Thirteenth Prince patted his head in annoyance and said, "I actually forgot about this matter." Although the affairs of the harem are the emperor's family affairs, the queen is the mother of all people and is within the scope of what the court officials should remind.
Yongzheng lowered his eyes and said with an ambiguous meaning, "Besides, with your sister-in-law in charge of the harem, we can relax a little."
The Thirteenth Prince understood that with his Fourth Brother around, any evildoers in the previous dynasty could be temporarily suppressed. However, the concubines left in the harem by Kangxi were difficult to deal with directly, and someone from the harem had to do it.
Normally, as the new mother of the new emperor and the new empress dowager, who would dare to disobey her orders? But the Thirteenth Prince also understood the knot in his adoptive mother's heart. The son she preferred in her heart was the Fourteenth Prince, not the Fourth Prince.
As for the Fourteenth Prince, who has been following Eighth Brother for these years, he probably has the idea of seizing the throne. This time, he was summoned back to Beijing to attend the funeral in order to take away his military power and prevent him from joining forces with Eighth Brother to cause chaos.
But Fourth Brother's behavior will undoubtedly annoy De' Niang, who favors Fourteenth Brother. How will De' Niang and Fourth Brother get along with each other then?
Thinking of this, the Thirteenth Prince looked at Yongzheng worriedly. Feeling his brother's worry, Yongzheng's heart, which had been hurt by Concubine De, felt the warmth again. He smiled and said, "It's enough to have you and your sister-in-law care about me."
How can this be the same? But the Thirteenth Prince didn't want to hurt Yongzheng's heart, so he could only change the subject. He patted his knees and said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank the Empress's wife. She has been asking Doctor Wen to come to my house to treat my legs over the years. Now, except for some minor problems, my legs are no different from those of ordinary people."
Yongzheng was very happy, "Xiaoyi has always been virtuous. As long as it is related to me, she always takes care of everything." Then he reminded the Thirteenth Prince, "Your legs are more fragile than ordinary people. Even if it has improved a lot, you can't relax. You must also let Wen Yao come to the mansion to check your pulse on time."
The Thirteenth Prince enjoyed the nagging of his Fourth Brother. "The Empress's wife also told my wife the same thing. Now Wen Yao will check my pulse every three days."
Speaking of Yixiu, Yongzheng really missed the sense of security that Yixiu had in the backyard, and he was more eager to have Yixiu enter the palace.
However, the decree to enthrone the Queen must come after the decree to enthrone the Empress Dowager. Before that, Yongzheng must have taken down the Fourteenth Prince. Whether Concubine De would cause trouble when accepting the decree to enthrone the Queen was a problem that Yongzheng had to consider.
The Thirteenth Prince understood Yongzheng's concerns and suggested, "The Emperor's sister-in-law is as capable as any man. Why not let her enter the palace secretly in advance to persuade the Empress Dowager?"
This was a good idea. Yixiu was the niece of the Empress Dowager. With such an identity, persuading the Empress Dowager would surely be twice as effective with half the effort. Yongzheng agreed with this outcome.
Having put his worry aside, he noticed how the servants addressed his Thirteenth Brother. For members of the royal family, they naturally addressed him by his title. But although the Thirteenth Prince had accepted Yongzheng's appointment as the Minister of State Affairs, he was still a bald prince. The title of Thirteenth Master did not sound pleasant to his ears.
Yongzheng frowned, "I was negligent. I wanted to wait until things were settled before conferring the title on my thirteenth brother, but I forgot that it would be inconvenient for my thirteenth brother to walk around the court."
The Thirteenth Prince did not expect why the Fourth Brother suddenly thought of this matter. He thought he would be a bald prince for the rest of his life, but the Fourth Brother pulled him out of such a predicament and never forgot their brotherhood. Such kindness had made the Thirteenth Prince burst into tears of gratitude.
He really felt that it was enough, and refused, "My brother has never forgotten me, and I have no way to repay you. Now I have been given an assignment together with my brother, Lord Ma Qi, and Lord Longkodo. If I continue to confer titles, I am afraid that others will criticize me."
Yongzheng disagreed and said, "How could I not know Thirteenth Brother's talent? Others are talking about it because they are blind. I know Thirteenth Brother's talent, so should I let this pearl be covered in dust?"
Seeing that he couldn't stop it, the Thirteenth Prince could only say, "If you confer the title on my brother but not on my eighth brother, others will say that you are unfair. Please confer the title on both my eighth brother and my brother to show fairness and appease the court officials."
The Eighth Prince is good at making friends, and I don't know how many people like him. Now, I don't know how many court officials are watching the new emperor's character. Showing favor to the Eighth Prince will also reassure the officials.
Yongzheng certainly knew this truth, and he felt unhappy when he thought of the group of people led by the Eighth Brother. Seeing the Eighth Brother's submissive look when he received the imperial edict today, Yongzheng felt unhappy. Yes, yes, you feel wronged when I ascended the throne, and I gave you a serious job and asked you to go against your own heart. Ha, you bitch is just pretentious!
The most important thing is that the Eighth Prince is the elder brother of the Thirteenth Prince. If the Thirteenth Prince is canonized and the Eighth Prince is not canonized, I am afraid that the Thirteenth Prince will also be criticized, which is something Yongzheng did not want to see. Therefore, Yongzheng still pinched his nose and thought of a title for the Eighth Prince.
In this way, the Thirteenth Prince became Heshuo Prince Yi, the Eighth Prince became Heshuo Prince Lian, and Yinreng's son Hongxi inherited the title without lowering his rank, and inherited the title reserved by Kangxi for the deposed crown prince - Heshuo Prince Li.
Yongzheng wrote the imperial edict directly in front of the Thirteenth Prince, and after it was written, it was directly awarded to the Thirteenth Prince.
Yongzheng explained to the Thirteenth Prince, "'Brothers are close to each other, living together and sharing wealth, living in harmony and peace, without anyone interfering'. I just hope that we brothers will always be close and close."
This sentence comes from "Letter to King Xiao Lingwang" written by Yu Xi of the Southern Qi State included in "Yiwen Leiju". It means that brothers and relatives live together, share property, are happy and harmonious, and others cannot separate them.
Throughout history, there are many words used to praise brotherhood, but perhaps few can be expressed together with the word Yong. I wonder how long Yongzheng spent conceiving of the title Yi.
The Thirteenth Prince thought he had gotten enough, but the Fourth Brother showed through his actions that he could get even more. He couldn't help but burst into tears and swore in his heart that he would help the Fourth Brother to achieve something great.
Compared to Prince Yi, Prince Lian was much more perfunctory. Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, the Thirteenth Prince was just a brother with deep affection, and the word "Lian" given to the Eighth Prince was a standard title of a virtuous prince.
Only the Eighth Prince himself knew that the Fourth Prince was mocking him. In order to win the hearts of the people, he was indifferent to others, shielded his subordinates from corruption, used the money from the national treasury and the people's blood and sweat to do favors and develop his own power.
