The Dragon Boat Festival banquet to thank the officials began. After the Emperor sat down, he said,"I just went to the Empress Dowager to pay my respects.
Later, the Empress Dowager decreed that there were only a few important festivals in the year, such as the first day of the first month, the fifteenth day of the first month, mid-autumn, and the Dragon Boat Festival.
After so many days, it was time to let the people on duty relax. Hong Shi, you brothers come over and toast the ministers.”After Yongzheng finished speaking, he moved his chopsticks first and picked up a mouthful of food. Only then did everyone dare to raise their hands to eat.
Hong Shi, Hong Li, and Hong Zhou woke up at the fourth watch today and read for two hours according to the rules set by their father. then
At the fifth watch, he came in and followed the emperor to various places to offer incense. It was already noon, and his stomach was already growling. seeing
Not only did he not dare to take a bite of the delicacies on the table, but he also had to toast the ministers around the dozen tables.
He didn't dare to bring it out. Hong Li and Hong Zhou were fine, but Hong Shi could not take it anymore. Outside the building, dozens of guards were eating happily! The guards received the imperial edict, so of course they could eat, but the three brothers could not. Hong Shi was so greedy that his saliva was about to flow out. He said angrily,"Isn't it just meat?" What's so great about it? Hongzhou, look, if they can eat, so can we!”As he spoke, he cut a piece and handed it to Hong Zhou. Hong Zhou was still young and could not help but feel hungry, but he looked around and did not dare to eat. Hongli stood aside and watched coldly, neither arguing with his brother nor interfering. Hong Shi didn't care about his fourth brother, but he had already started eating.
A eunuch came out and issued an edict,"Prince Bao, where is Wansui calling you?"”
"Do you want me to go in alone, or do you want us to go in together?" asked Hong Shi hurriedly.”
Xing Nian replied,"Wansui only called Fourth Master. I didn't hear you two go with him."”
"Do you know why I called him alone?”
"Replying to Third Master, this servant only heard one sentence.”
When Hong Shi heard this, his expression immediately changed. He rolled his eyes at Hong Li and said,"Alright, fourth brother, the two of us are just waiting to bask in your light!”
Hongli didn't want to say anything more. He just bowed to his third brother and walked in.
When Hongli saw his father, he bowed respectfully and stood behind Yongzheng.
Yongzheng turned around and looked at his son with a loving expression. The more he looked, the happier he became. Hongli and his brother
His younger brother was different. Because Hongshi knew that his father advocated frugality, he often wore wrinkled clothes and pretended to be pretentious. The age of the day
She was still young, so she couldn't help but look sloppy at times. Hongli, on the other hand, was completely different. He was wearing a half-worn Tuanlong robe that had been washed clean.
It was ironed neatly. Behind her head, which was shaved black, was a glossy braid that hung down to her waist.
His face was as white as jade, steady and elegant. Yongzheng pointed at him and said to everyone,"You all know that the governors of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the governor, and the governor have been removed from their posts." How did they ruin it? It was this Zhen's fourth brother who brought people to investigate for several months before he found out about these corrupt officials and let them receive the punishment they deserved.
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Brother Hongli. Oh, no wonder I haven't seen him for a long time.
Pretending to be a private visit! The court bulletin that came yesterday said that the three major constitutions of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were released from office and taken to the capital at the same time. They didn't know these three people when they saw it.
What crime did he commit? It turned out to be corruption again.
Yongzheng calmly continued,"The country has never been stingy with rewards for meritorious officials, including princes and noble relatives.
Outside. Taking advantage of today's good day, with all the officials and workers here, I issue an order: Hongli wrote Prince Jin Bao and rewarded him with ten pieces of jade.
Pearl!" When Hongli heard this, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed. However, Yongzheng did not wait for him to speak and continued,"Tingyu, once the banquet is over, draft an edict to make it known to the world!”
Hongli finally had a chance to speak. He kowtowed and said,""What virtue and ability does this son have, how can he be as important as Imperial Father?
Awards?"
"Why can't you?" Yongzheng smiled. It was very rare for you to be able to handle things calmly, be pragmatic, and not boast.
The Dragon Boat Festival feast ended at the end of the day. Yongzheng rewarded everyone who attended the feast.
He was favored outside.
Yin Mi had received the emperor's decree to come to Thirteenth Prince's Lian Mansion to deliver the decree. His palanquin had just landed in front of the door
When he heard that the secret had an imperial edict, he didn't dare to be negligent. He called a thousand and flew away.
The ground ran away. In an instant, three cannons were fired and the doors of the mansion opened. Prince Yi wore a crown on his head and led the people of the mansion to welcome him.
Come out, let Yin Mi into the main hall, stand still to the south. After kowtowing three times and nine times, he said,"Long live your subjects
Saint An, listen to the decree!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Yin Mi replied.”He looked down and saw Thirteen's solemn face. He put on airs and said,
"Prince Yi is talented and has many accomplishments. He works hard day and night and does not avoid trouble. He was immediately granted the title of Prime Minister Wang.
He rewarded his parents with the king's salary and still worked in the study with Yin to secretly discuss state affairs and assist me. Respect this!"
"Thank you." Prince Yi kowtowed deeply.
Once the mission was over, Secret Yin walked down, picked up Thirteen with both hands, and was about to bow. Thirteen quickly stepped forward.
"Twenty-fourth brother, how can I do this?" Come on! Let's have a feast in the West Flower Hall. Brother, please!"
Secret Yin did not want to stir up this mess again. He knew that the Thirteen Constabularies were a troublesome place, so how could he dare to stay here? Brother Thirteen, I can only accept your kindness another day. Today, the emperor is going to the Spring Garden and wants me to accompany him…"
Although Thirteen said it casually and calmly, every word was like a needle hidden in cotton wool, and every word carried bone. he
The thoughts of Emperor Yongzheng were even more shocking. "Since Brother Shisan said so, it would be rude of me if I don't stay.
It was over. In fact, Thirteen was originally a prince, and now he was promoted to the position of Prime Minister Wang, and his salary was increased. He was the first person in front of the emperor.
To be able to compare with you, I should really celebrate for you.”
" Hahahaha..." Thirteen laughed out loud." Well said. Come, follow me to the reception hall!"”
Secret Yin followed Thirteen to the back study with a belly full of suspicion, but he saw two people he didn't know playing games inside.
Go. Thirteen walked up and pulled Secret Yin, saying,""Come, let me introduce you. See, this is
Prince Zhong of the Ministry of Military Personnel. The matter was over. I'll go back to the mansion by myself
