Chapter 793 Fourth Master Was Afraid of Losing Fujin

The ancient emperors generally did not live long because of the turmoil in the court and the hollowing out of their bodies by the harem.

Like Kangxi, who ascended the throne at the age of eight, he remained emperor until he was sixty.

He who has made a lot of contributions to the country can be regarded as an emperor through the ages.

The Banquet of the Thousand Seniors is huge and extravagant, and everyone who comes to participate will be provided with the most high-end Manchurian Quanqi for free, so there must be a lot of people coming.

Therefore, the Banquet of Thousand Old Men was not held in the Forbidden City.

Instead, it was held in Changchun Garden, located in the south of Yuanmingyuan.

Ruoyin and fourth master lived in Yuanmingyuan, which was close, but they arrived early.

I wanted to see if I could be of any help.

But when we arrived at the Banquet of Thousand Old Men, we saw thousands of long desks, round tables, and square tables of the Eight Immortals placed outside the Changchun Garden Palace.

Moreover, at the banquet in the hall, there were already old people who came from all over the place.

It is estimated that after some time, the outside of the hall will be full.

Fourth Master originally walked in front with his hands behind his back.

After seeing this scene, he stopped and ordered: "Su Peisheng, take your Fujin master to sit at the royal banquet."

"Hey." Su Peisheng made a gesture of invitation to Ruoyin.

The master is so careful about Fujin, is it possible that he is afraid that Fujin will be lost?

Ruoyin knew that fourth master had other things to do. There were many and chaotic people here, and there were all kinds of people.

She is a woman, it is really not easy to walk around, she should stay in a safe place.

After a while, Su Peisheng brought her to a banquet exclusive to members of the royal family, which was in the hall.

When we got there, there were already many elder brothers and Fujin sitting there.

There are also some side branches, which she doesn't know very well.

Scanning around, Ruoyin found that the Eight Immortals, Tong Jiacai Ling, the Thirteenth Fujin, and the Fourteenth Fujin were sitting on a table of Eight Immortals.

Ruoyin was fairly familiar with them, so he also sat down.

Tong Jiacai Ling, Thirteenth Fujin, and Fourteenth Fujin all greeted her with smiles when they saw her.

Bafujin has a gentle temperament, and he also behaved politely.

When Wanyan saw Ruoyin, he took her arm and whispered in her ear: "Sister-in-law Si, your method is really effective. After Concubine De's birthday that night, he went to our courtyard that night. "

While speaking, Ruoyin saw Wanyan's blushing cheeks.

"That's a good thing," she said.

"It's really a good thing." Wan Yan pouted, and said a little unhappy: "But I can't be happy."

Ruoyin covered his mouth lightly with his hands, and said in Wanyan's ear, "Could it be that you, like Fourteen, have a tendency to be abused?"

"No, I just... don't know if he really has feelings for me, or because he is not convinced." Wanyan muttered.

Ruoyin raised his eyebrows, "There's no need to rush this matter. After a long time, you'll know what he thinks. Anyway, I've thought of a way for you. The rest is up to you."

"Hee hee, no matter what, thank you Sisao." Wan Yan said with a smile.

After seeing when Yan's and Ruoyin were so close, Tong Jiacai Ling was a little jealous.

She also took Ruoyin's arm and asked, "What are you two muttering about, Sisao?"

"What else can I say, it's nothing more than bad things." Ruoyin said lightly.

Then, Thirteen Fujin also talked a lot to Ruoyin.

For a while, among the sisters-in-law at the table, Ba Fujin looked like an outsider.

In fact, Ba Fujin wanted to join from the bottom of her heart, but she couldn't help herself.

Whenever she has a close relationship with Fourth Sister-in-law, Eighth Master will let her use these relationships to do some bad things.

Therefore, there is still some estrangement from each other, so let's not disturb each other.

All the sisters and sisters present here are good friends, after gossiping for a while, it is almost time for dinner.

"Fourth sister-in-law, look quickly, the hall is full, and it seems that tables are still being added." Tong Jiacai Ling pointed outside.

Ruoyin stretched his neck to take a look. From this angle, looking around, there were all black heads.

I saw more and more people coming from the door, shoulder to shoulder.

The hall was full of people.

The hall was also full of people.

There was a group of new arrivals, standing there waiting.

Fortunately, a guard moved the table in again, and people took their seats one after another.

Ruoyin withdrew his eyes. It was actually very rare to see such a scene once.

Ordinary people also know that there is only such an opportunity in a lifetime.

Therefore, there will be so many people present.

"Hey, what kind of people do you think are here? Even some envoys from the vassal states have sat outside the hall." Tong Jiacai Ling asked curiously.

Ruoyin was not very clear, so he didn't speak.

Thirteen Fujin explained there: "These people are long-lived old people invited from all over the country. There are also princes and ministers, representatives of subordinate countries, and representatives of Tibetan areas. The rest are ordinary people at various grassroots levels. Of course, they are not ordinary people. , but representative, including farmers, industrial and commercial gentry, scholars, and officials."

"Oh, I thought they were just ordinary old people." Tong Jiacai Ling said.

After listening to Thirteen Fujin's words, Ruoyin had another understanding of the feast of the thousand old men.

It seems that this kind of banquet, which seems to have no interest relationship, is actually purposeful.

It is nothing more than the royal family trying to win over people from all walks of life and stabilize the hearts of the people.

But at the same time, it does promote the fashion of respecting and loving the elderly.

"Of course they are not ordinary old people. Moreover, these old people are not only invited to enjoy the Manchu banquet for free, but also some old people are given valuables. Because some old people who come from other provinces must not be allowed to pay their own travel expenses, so they come from other provinces. For the old people celebrating their birthdays, the imperial court will distribute silver to them so as not to appear royally stingy." Thirteenth Fujin said.

"Then wouldn't it cost a lot of money?" Tong Jiacai Ling said in a low voice.

Ruoyin and the others looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

If Thirteen Fujin hadn't said so, she really wouldn't have known that not only would she invite the Manchus to a full banquet, but she would also bring money.

At first, she was thinking how much money would be needed for the banquet of thousands of people.

Moreover, I heard that Kangxi will hold a banquet for three days!

It's no wonder that in history, Kangxi's treasury ran out of money in his later years, which left a mess for Emperor Yongzheng.

However, the old man Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight, took charge of the government at the age of 14, and at the age of 16 got rid of the auxiliary minister Oboi who formed a party for personal gain and bullied the young master, and weakened the power of the Eight Banners.

At the age of 20, he faced the San Francisco headed by Wu Sangui. After 8 years of fighting, he quelled the war and maintained the unity of the Qing Dynasty.

From these points of view, he is indeed an outstanding politician and military strategist.

He is clear-headed, has both civil and military skills, is harsh on himself, is diligent and cautious in dealing with government affairs, and can better handle the relationship between ethnic groups.

This created the Kangxi Dynasty, the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, and established the territory of the Qing Dynasty's multi-ethnic unity.
