4. Practice
Yinzhen was mixed these days. A few days ago, Li Dequan, the deputy chief eunuch of the Six Palaces, came to announce the imperial edict, and Kangxi granted Yinzhen a viscount of Gushan. Yinzhen guessed that history might have undergone major changes due to his time travel. In the early Qing Dynasty, most of the emperors were very cautious about the princes, and there were even cases where the princes were not granted until their death.
In fact, Yinzhen was only twenty-year-old when he was young. And in that case, he was the one with the title of the prince. Although he was only granted Beizi now, he made a big breakthrough. After all, the time was almost fifteen years ahead of schedule. However, the troubles were immediately followed. Kangxi said in the imperial edict: Although the fourth son Yinzhen was in the late emperor, he was still in a good position in the emperor Shizuzhang, and he was righteous in his affairs and devoted himself to the Buddha. He specially ordered the fourth son to take the hair to practice Daming Temple and cultivate five roots to think about it. Yinzhen heard the others, but there was one he could hear clearly: he was about to be sent to be a monk.
When he returned to his room, Yinzhen sat alone on the edge of the kang and sulked, and he didn't know what his cheap emperor was thinking. He tried his best to leave a good impression on Kangxi, and wanted to follow the original historical trajectory so that Kangxi could have a choice outside the second prince when he was appointed as the crown prince. But, could it be that he was too anxious to backfire and kicked out of the palace gate? Or did he show that he had been excluded from the list of the crown prince? But if he thinks carefully, there should be room for improvement in his practice, or it just means that Kangxi wants to practice more?
The edict also mentioned that Yinzhen was deeply impressed by his grandfather, and this sentence was quite meaningful. Although Kangxi did not have much understanding of Shunzhi's father, overall, in addition to being unwilling to the government because of Dong E's concubine, he still respected the Qing Dynasty ancestor quite a lot. Therefore, it is unknown whether Shunzhi was a blessing or a disaster by comparing Yinzhen. Yinzhen's thoughts were flying, and his head was so painful.
Yinzhen was alone and was dazed and was confused. When the eunuch's report suddenly came from outside the door: "Concubine Tong is here." Yinzhen smiled bitterly, stood up, and then saw the curtain lifting. The eunuch Gao Qun, the deputy chief eunuch, led Concubine Tong into the house with a charming smile.
Gao Qun's face was full of beauty and hurriedly invited an An: "I wish you a blessing to the Fourth Prince."
Yinzhen raised his hand and helped him: "Gao Anda, there are only the emperor and me here, why are you making a vow of me?"
Then he beat a thousand in a regular manner: "I wish you a blessing to the emperor. If you have anything to do, just ask your aunt to come over and let your aunt come here. My son is ashamed." Concubine Tong has taken care of Yinzhen for several years and has long been used to the precocious "adult" tone of this son. He didn't care at this moment, so he came over and reached out to help Yinzhen up. Then he walked to the kang table, sat down, and signaled Yinzhen to sit close. He first looked at Yinzhen with a smile, but said nothing. Yinzhen was full of questions, but he refused to say it clearly, just waiting quietly, and his face was not moved.
After a while, Concubine Tong finally spoke: "Can the Fourth Prince receive the emperor's edict?"
Yinzhen stood up and replied, "My son welcomed the emperor's will this morning."
Concubine Tong finally couldn't help but say, "The Fourth Prince has now sealed Gushan Beizi, which is a great joy."
Concubine Tong was waiting for Yinzhen to act cute, but she actually didn't expect Yinzhen to react. The child might not understand what Gushan Beizi means.
Unexpectedly, Yinzhen just smiled and said, "This is the grace given to his son minister by the Emperor Ama and the Emperor's Mother. The son minister is still young and has not made any achievements. He has received such a heavy title and reward. The son minister feels guilty." This sentence reveals Yinzhen's current annoyance. After hearing this, Concubine Tong didn't say anything for a while. Gao Qun also felt the strange atmosphere and quietly retreated.
After a while, Concubine Tong slowly said: "The Fourth Prince is now studying, and even the words he says are different from before. Moreover, it is amazing to have a captive Beizi at the age of four. I want to ask the Fourth Prince, what are the words of the Fourth Prince learned from the master?"
Yinzhen was shocked when he heard this. Why did he completely forget his identity? He was disappointed and said such words. No wonder Concubine Tong had such a question. After all, he took the history in his mind too seriously. After hearing the imperial edict, he was shocked, which made him unable to adjust his mentality for a while. He immediately reminded himself that hasteness would not be achieved, and he did not want to cause any "misunderstanding".
Yinzhen hurried over and pulled Concubine Tong, and said with a smile: "My mom, you can guess it as soon as you guess. The master said, if the Emperor Ama calls Erchen, he will go back to the Emperor Ama like this." Then he secretly glanced at Concubine Tong's face and found that Concubine Tong's face was slightly clear. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said: "My mom, the Emperor Ama has conferred a Gushan Beizi. Beizi and the Andas have told him before, but what does Gushan mean? Do you want Erchen to go up the mountain?"
Concubine Tong had no doubts anymore and couldn't help laughing: "Gushan Beizi is connected together. That is the title of our Manchuria, and Gushan is the flag. Silly children, those eunuchs are half a bottle of jealousy, and they are still wandering in front of you. When they hear them talking nonsense in the future, they will give them all out."
Then he carefully reminded him: "What the master teaches you in the future depends on what you say. If you really say this in front of your emperor, your emperor will definitely know that this is what your master teaches you. This is boring." Yinzhen nodded and bowed and said, "I have recorded it."
At this moment, Concubine Tong became sad again and said, "Your emperor Ama wants you to go to Daming Temple to practice. You are going to leave your mother at a young age." As she said that, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Even if Yinzhen was feeling unhappy at this moment, he could only pretend to be naive: "My mom, I have never left the palace. I want to go out and have a look, but I can't bear to leave my mother. Will my mother accompany me out?"
