Chapter 170, Kangxi's stingy rule of the country

In a blink of an eye, it was already fifteen night. At this time, the Fourth Master summoned the Niuhulu, Geng and Wu clans to serve each other, but tonight, they would never come to Lin Xianyu's Fuyou Hall.

Lin Xianyu couldn't help but complain to the Fourth Master about Song, "I understand that she can't see a boy of the right age next to her all day long, but that's my elder brother's grandson! She's counting it as Bogili's nephew!"

Yinzhen smiled and said, "Bogili is not your biological child, it's actually nothing."

Lin Xianyu's black line almost forgot that he loved to ignore seniority!!

Yinzhen said again: "But Khan now attaches importance to etiquette and law, so forget it."

Lin Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that the Fourth Master would ignore his seniority and marry his daughter casually.

"It's not that Song's mind is floating. She just cares about Bojili." Lin Xianyu asked in a low voice, "Fourth Master, Bojili... won't caress Meng, right?"

Yinzhen's eyebrows were clumped, "Khan Ama just married Dunke to Korqin last year, and he would not mean to marry him for a while."

Lin Xianyu hurriedly said, "Or why you might as well make a marriage for Bojili while you take advantage of this opportunity."

Yinzhen glanced at her deeply.

Lin Xianyu sighed: "I also watched Bojili grow up. Thinking about these princesses who married far away most of them died young, let alone Bojili. This child is not tough and tough. If he married Bojili, he is afraid... "

Thinking of this, Lin Xianyu couldn't bear it.

No matter what the biological mothers of these children are, these little princesses are really well-behaved and charming. If they can help, Lin Xianyu wouldn't mind doing it casually.

Yinzhen sighed, "If you want to marry Bojili, you must ask Khan Ama. Where can I make a decision in private?"

Lin Xianyu was sad. Thinking of Kangxi, this scumbag father, there were so many daughters, and very few stayed in the capital. Most of them married far away from Mongolia, while most of the princesses who married far away from Mongolia died early.

Yinzhen said: "So, Bogili's marriage should be slow, at least you can stay for a few more years."

Lin Xianyu nodded. The princesses were married later, and they were not without them until they were eighteen or ninety or twenty years old. Bogili was only fifteen years old.

Yinzhen said again: "I have three daughters, and Khan Ama will not be given all marriages. I will always keep one or two in the capital."

Lin Xianyu was speechless, what is this? Is it a consolation prize?

Thank you, I'm not so relieved!

Seeing his concubine's face hanging down, Yinzhen said quietly: "You know you feel sorry for the children and wish they all stayed in the capital. But you also know that the eldest brother used to be so good at Khan Ama's holy heart, and he had four legitimate daughters, two of whom were comforting the Meng."

Lin Xianyu curled his lips disgusted: "That's because he doesn't feel sorry for his daughter!" - Now that the eldest prince is banned, even if he stays and marrys the two princesses in Beijing, he is afraid that life will not be easy.

This Yinzhi committed suicide and implicated his wife and children!

Fortunately, the eldest concubine died early and did not see her daughters in such a situation, otherwise she would not feel sorry for her?

Yinzhen was silent for a moment before saying, "You will do your best." Fortunately, he is now the prince's magistrate, and even if Bogili is a concubine, he can be awarded the title of the county monarch Doro. If he is Fu Meng, he will have to be promoted to the next level, that is, the county magistrate Dororo.

The noble daughters of the royal family in the Qing Dynasty were divided into seven grades, namely Princess Gulun, Princess Heshuo, Princess Heshuo, Princess Doro, Princess Gushan, Princess Gujun and Princess of ordinary clans.

Princess Gulun is the daughter of the empress, and Princess Heshuo is the concubine.

Only when the prince and the prince's daughter were born in the legitimate daughter, heshuo's princess, could he be granted the title of Princess Heshuo, that is, the princess.

The Doro Gege is quite special, and it is divided into the county rank Doro Gege and the county rank Doro Gege. Only the prince’s legitimate daughter can be awarded the county rank, while the daughter of Beile is the county rank.

The legitimate daughter of Beizi of Gushan was called Gushan Gege, who joined the Duke of Zhenguo in Bafen, and the legitimate daughter of Duke of Jiaoguo in Bafen was the village king.

All daughters who are not included in the eighth cent of the Duke will not be granted the title and are only called clan daughters.

In addition, the daughter of a concubine is reduced by two ranks to be granted, so even if Bogeli is the daughter of a prince, as usual, he can only be equal to the daughter of a prince and be granted a county monarch. However, if he is Fu Meng, he can make an exception to increase his level.

The worst thing is that the concubine's daughter of a man with a very low sect is only called a clan daughter and cannot be awarded the title.

For example, the daughters of Jiubeizi Yinzhen, who are both born in illegitimate children, can only be called "sect daughters" in the future and will marry under the status of a royal princess.

No wonder these princes are all squeezing their heads to fight for the throne. Even if they don’t fight for the throne, they still have to find someone to support them. In the future, they will be able to benefit from being a prince, prince, wife and daughter.

This cannot be blamed for the emperor for being stingy. Think about the Ming Dynasty, there were countless princes. In the later years of the Ming Dynasty, the huge expenses of the royal family were enough to drag down a country. The descendants of the minority were unable to change the ancestral system, so they could only raise a bunch of idle people.

The Qing Dynasty was very good at learning from the lessons of the demise of the previous dynasty. Eunuchs were not allowed to read, and used literary inquisition to limit the power of literacy, which made the eunuch party and the Donglin party strictly restrict the titles of the royal family. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the upper limit of the eight iron hats was set, that is, there were at most eight princes who had been hereditary.

Kangxi further suppressed the issuance of titles to his own sons. So far, he only named Prince Cheng and Prince Yong as princes.

Although this behavior is a scumbag, it does effectively limit the title of the royal family and reduce treasury expenditure.

There are also the titles of noble ladies of the royal family. In fact, at the beginning, there were no titles of legitimate and illegitimate princes, but Kangxi lowered the titles of illegitimate princesses by two levels. On the surface, it was to show the difference between legitimate princesses, but in fact it was stingy. Because once these noble ladies of the royal family obtained the title, they would also receive the national salary! The higher the title, the higher the salary!

The inheritance of the royal family's children is also strictly restricted. Except for the eight iron hats and a few generations, the other titles are all hereditary and surrendered. Usually the eldest son inherits the title, which is lower than the next generation.

What’s even more tragic is that other legitimate sons and illegitimate sons, who are not the eldest son, receive titles even lower than those of the royal daughters of the royal family, and must also take the national "examination", commonly known as "examination".

In addition to the descendant of the lords, other royal children must take the exam for the title of the throne at the age of 20. Only by passing the exam can they obtain the title - and this title is often relatively low, and the exam is not low. You have to take the translation test, step the bow, ride the bow, and get the title every three years, and you will always get a large piece of it, but it doesn’t matter, you can continue to take the exam in three years! You can do it any number of times!

Therefore, some of the royal family members are still taking the exam at the age of 45!

If you don’t pass the exam in one day, you will always be a bald royal family.

Taking Prince Heshuo as an example, the eldest son will be granted the title of the crown prince, so naturally there is no need to take the title. Except for the eldest son, other legitimate sons who pass the title can be at most 8 points, the sons of the side are second-class generals, and the concubines and sons of the concubines can be at most 3rd-class generals. - Of course, the premise is that they must pass the title, and all three exams are excellent, so they can be awarded the title.

Based on this, two good and one equal, one equal, and one equal, one equal, one equal, one equal, one inferior, one inferior, one inferior, one inferior, one inferior, one inferior, one inferior, one inferior, one inferior, one inferior, one inferior, one equal, one inferior, one inferior, one equal, two inferior, one equal, two inferior, and all inferior, are not awarded titles.

With such strict examinations on the royal family, the proportion of people with titles in the Qing Dynasty was lower, and the expenses of the royal family were also greatly reduced.

This is Kangxi's stingy rule of governing the country!!
