The general passed the imperial examination
Mingzhu was actually a good man, having worked hard since his youth and achieved success in both his career and family. Remarkably, even after achieving fame, he remained devoted to his wife. Although his wife was the fifth legitimate daughter of Prince Ying, Ajige, Ajige suffered an even worse fate than Dorgon due to his half-brother Dorgon. He was stripped of his title, imprisoned, his family confiscated, and his sons demoted to commoners and executed.
On the contrary, Mingzhu's early years were not as prominent as they were after he achieved success, but he was, after all, the grandson of Jintai Shi, a prince of the Yehe tribe, the natal family of Empress Xiaoci Gao. People tend to avoid talking about the love-hate relationship between the two families, but they cannot deny the fact that they had a long line of Zuoling officials.
Comparing the two, the Jueluo family is still considered to be marrying above their station.
Even so, Mingzhu was still very good to his wife, and it was obvious that they were in love from the beginning. They had three sons: the eldest son was Nalan Xingde, the second son was Kuixu, and the third son was Kuifang.
Nalan Xingde was the most accomplished, a man of both civil and military talents, earning Mingzhu considerable points—but he died young, leaving behind a family of widows and orphans. For years, not only was he unable to help Mingzhu, he also forced her to consider the children he left behind. Fortunately, Nalan Xingde's genes were not bad, and his sons, such as Fusen and Fuerdun, were diligent and inquisitive, and could achieve great things.
Sons are easy to deal with, but daughters are troublesome.
As the apple of her grandfather's eye, she had to make some plans for these granddaughters who had lost their father.
Mingzhu's wife, Jueluo, was murdered by a household servant in the 34th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. The story is a bit bizarre; the woman was jealous and always displeased with Mingzhu's closeness to young, beautiful women. Mingzhu had behaved well enough, at least there were no reports of her having an illegitimate child. Ahem.
But Jueluo couldn't let go. She would always punish any woman who was close to Mingzhu or praised by Mingzhu. The family tradition of Ajige BH continued to this princess. She gouged out the eyes of the maid who Mingzhu praised for her beautiful eyes!
The father of the girl, who was as beautiful as a fairy, was so upset that he killed her. Because the truth was so shameful, the court kept it a secret.
Mingzhu never remarried.
Therefore, whenever there was any family matter, he had to bring his second son to discuss it.
What I want to talk about today is the marriage of Nalan Xingde’s daughter.
"Your niece is already past the age of marriage. Her mother passed away during the last selection, so she missed the age limit. By the next time, she will be over the age limit again. We must find someone to marry in the next two years and then submit a memorial. If the Emperor is willing to give her a good future, he will make an explanation. If not, he will allow us to marry on our own."
Mingzhu had a plan in mind. Kangxi greatly admired Nalan Xingde. If he protected his daughter because of her father, her future would surely be bright. He would probably choose a member of the imperial clan; the Ninth Prince wasn't that old. If he didn't intend to promote her, he could still arrange a marriage for her.
Kuixu thought for a moment and said, "Even if I tell them, those from well-off families might look down on my niece for not having parents. Those from lower-class families naturally won't be so particular, and I don't want to put my niece in a difficult position." This was the truth. If one of her parents was missing, she might still be accepted, but this one ruined everything...
Mingzhu's face darkened slightly. "It's just right. The New Year is coming soon. Be more careful when you go out. As long as the child is well and the family is upright, I don't mind if the family is a little less well-off. I just need to spend more time with them."
Kuixu agreed and thought to himself, this is really a bit difficult.
He returned to his room with a worry in his heart, and happened to see his wife Geng. Geng had come to discuss something with Kuixu. The Eighth Lady had sent a notice, inviting this cousin to come to her house for a chat, and the date was set after the New Year.
Yes, you heard right, it's my cousin. Geng, the daughter of Princess Heshuo Roujia and Geng Juzhong. Don't assume Princess Heshuo Roujia is the emperor's daughter just because she was given the title of princess. She was actually the daughter of Prince An Yuele. Shunzhi brought her into the palace, then gave her the title of princess and married her into the Geng family, one of the Three Feudatories.
During the Three Feudatories Rebellion, Geng Jingzhong, married to his wife, was residing in Beijing with his second brother, Geng Zhaozhong, who was a son-in-law of the Duolo clan. Unwisely, they remained outside the conflict. Due to various political needs, both families survived, and five assistant commanders were appointed to the Han Army's Plain Yellow Banner. In the 25th year of the reign of Emperor Zhaozhong, he was posthumously named Qinxi. In the 26th year of the reign of Emperor Juzhong, he was posthumously named Qumin.
If this were to happen in the stock market, it would definitely be a great way to buy at the bottom and sell at the top!
Geng's background is worthy of Nalan Mingzhu's son.
Kuixu's brows relaxed when he heard the words 'Si Beizi Mansion'. The Eighth Prince was a good man. Even though they were quite distant relatives, he was still so kind and friendly. At the end of the year, he would return the gifts, giving them to his cousin in the name of the Eighth Lady. When there were operas and wine, he wouldn't forget to send a note to the Ming Mansion.
When discussing politics, you will find that he is always calm and frank.
When he met the emperor, his behavior was well-mannered and his conversation was extraordinary.
The Eighth Prince once joked with Kui Xu, "Between you and me, in humble families, we'd be considered half-brothers-in-law. But in the palace, there are so many layers of rules. In private, it's better to relax a little. You'll be at ease, and I'll be at ease too."
Kuixu Lian said he dared not.
The Eighth Prince added, "You are a learned man, and I would like to ask you for advice. If you act like this, I can't open my mouth. Even if I don't say this, wouldn't I give face to my mother, Concubine Zhong Cui?" His smiling face made people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
Comparing people will make you die, and comparing goods will make you throw them away. Compared with that silly eldest prince, the eighth prince is simply a saint.
"Just go. Eighth Prince's place is different from others. You have to go. You won't feel uncomfortable when you go."
"That's true." Geng agreed with a smile.
Kuixu sighed, "You're relieved, but I'm busy. By the way, when we get there, you should also pay attention to one thing."
"What's the matter? I need to pay attention to it?"
"My father just called me over to talk about my niece's marriage."
"She hasn't been chosen yet, yet she's already registered with the Emperor. Our girl attracts a lot of attention, so we can't do it quietly like other families. We have to declare her over the age limit before we can arrange a marriage ourselves."
"I know that, but now that I've said that, I've heard from my father that I should ask for permission in advance." Time waits for no one. If you wait until you're over the age limit, it will be too late! If you look at each other again and prepare again, you will definitely be an old maid.
"become."
——————————————————————————————————————————
The New Year was celebrated every year. During the Qing Dynasty, there were more than twenty New Years. This wasn't the first time I'd celebrated the New Year in the palace.
But this year, it’s really a different feeling. Well, compared with previous years, there are quite big changes.
It's not about the process, but the details.
After the sons were enfeoffed, they each competed for the annual gifts. Gifts were presented to the Emperor, to the Empress Dowager, to their respective mothers... oh, and even to the Crown Prince. Don't assume this money is free; you have to return the favor, giving red envelopes. Kangxi was the biggest spender, even giving everyone a year-end bonus based on their rank. The Crown Prince, however, received a huge red envelope worth tens of thousands of yuan each, which alleviated some of the financial difficulties.
Following the emperor's example, the crown prince also distributed red envelopes to the officials in the Chancellery. In one fell swoop, he spent a quarter of the silver he had just received from Emperor Kangxi. The Chancellery wasn't overly crowded, with some receiving a hundred taels, and the most, like Xiong Cili, receiving two thousand.
Then he gave red envelopes to his sons, which were equal. Each of them received a pile of gold and silver ingots, which were actually some study treasures and toys as rewards.
Shujia was also very skilled in handing out red envelopes to the palace maids and eunuchs, as well as to Li Jiashi and Li Jiashi. Even with the summary process at hand, she was still very busy: "Qingjin, have they got their New Year clothes?" "Have you prepared everything for Madam Xiong?"
Zichang came over holding a set of clothes: "Please take a break. Put these things aside for a while. Don't you want to take a look at the annual gifts for the Emperor and the Empress Dowager?"
Look, here comes the trouble again.
The New Year banquet still separates men and women.
The Empress Dowager looked at the room full of young people dressed up in fancy clothes and smiled so hard that her teeth showed: "This is what makes it lively! It becomes deserted here after you leave." Because the wives have all moved away, they seldom see each other on weekdays. Even when she comes to pay her respects to her mother-in-law, she doesn't come every day, but only once every three or five days. The Empress Dowager misses the old days very much.
Concubine Yi laughed and said, "Grandfather, you seem to be disgusted by our silence and dislike for us."
The Empress Dowager said, "Nonsense, nonsense! You are the only one who is silent and unpleasant? You are already a mother-in-law, and you are still so naughty."
Old lady, how can you call someone "nonsense" during the New Year?
This wasn't the most embarrassing part. At least the Empress Dowager was praising Concubine Yi for being "likable," so everyone just laughed it off.
What happens next is rather embarrassing.
The Empress Dowager's ability to disrupt the atmosphere was truly remarkable. She saw Princess Heshuo Rongxian, the daughter of Consort Rong, who married Urgun of the Borjigit clan. Urgun's father, Oqier, was the biological son of Princess Gulun Shuhui. Princess Rongxian, in effect, married her great-aunt's grandson, making her and her husband cousins.
As the only surviving child of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, Princess Gulun Shuhui was highly valued by Emperor Kangxi and the Empress Dowager. Years ago, during Kangxi's tour, she brought her granddaughter-in-law with her to meet him. Due to her age and illness, Kangxi specially brought her to Beijing to continue living there. Princess Rongxian was also brought along to serve her grandmother-in-law.
The medical care in the capital was far superior to that on the grasslands. Princess Gulun Shuhui had come to the capital from Bahrain more than once. In the past, she had recovered well after recuperation and returned to Bahrain for a while. This time, Princess Gulun Shuhui had only paid her respects once during her visit to the capital, and after that, she was unable to move to the palace again. The medical care in the capital seemed helpless against the approach of death.
How could anyone not be worried? The Empress Dowager had been holding back for days, for it was New Year's Eve and she couldn't say anything discouraging. Today, at this public gathering, she finally broke her silence.
"Oh, I wonder what's become of her."
The air froze for a moment. What else could it be? New Grand Banquet! If you don't even come, you're either out of your mind or dying.
Immediately, someone took over the conversation, and Concubine Tong smiled and said, "I heard that if an elderly person is sick and survives the winter, they will hopefully get better in the spring. Now it's the New Year, the Spring Festival."
Everyone below echoed this.
The eldest wife said, "Indeed, everything is reviving. We are also looking forward to the early arrival of spring. Speaking of which, my third sister-in-law's due date is coming soon, right?"
Let’s go off topic, let’s go off topic together!
The Third Lady's belly is already very big, and the imperial physician has told her not to go out easily. If this wasn't a new pregnancy, she would have stayed at home.
At least three of her sisters-in-law looked at her with envy: "How can you be so lucky? You keep giving birth to sons one after another. And since you already have a son as a foundation, even if this baby is a daughter, it will be great!" The Seventh Lady was very depressed. After all the hard work of getting pregnant, she gave birth to a daughter at the end of September.
The childless Fifth and Eighth Concubines were even more depressed. The Fifth Concubine had a mediocre relationship with her husband, and the Fifth Prince preferred a concubine. There was really no hope! The Eighth Concubine had a good relationship with the Eighth Prince and had tried hard, but still no news.
The two of them felt stomach cramps when they encountered this situation. They were the only two sisters-in-law who had never given birth!
The Eighth Lady finally changed the subject and invited everyone to come to her place to watch a play: "I've ordered a small play, and it's for those close to us. After the palace is bustling with activity, we can have some fun too."
This suggestion was widely echoed, and the sisters-in-law all expressed that they would definitely show up on time. The Eighth Lady said to the Third Lady with a smile: "I dare not invite you this time. It is not convenient for you now. Wait until your nephew is one month old, and then we will go to invite you together."
Compared to mixing with the crowd and having a baby in her belly, Sanfujin wisely chose to play by herself for the time being: "Then I'll make a note of this. I'll definitely ask you to pay it back in the future."
"Okay."
Shujia smiled and said, "You two really remembered it. Why don't we do this - tomorrow, the Third Family can invite the Eighth Family to a banquet when they are about to give birth, and we can all go..."
The Fourth Lady echoed, "That's wonderful!"
The Seventh Lady curled her lips and said, "You and the Eighth Sister-in-law are neighbors. Be careful that she blocks your door and won't let you leave."
"What are you afraid of? Isn't there still the fifth princess? If you two go at each other, she won't know which one to stop and will just run away." Shujia continued to give bad advice. It was nothing more than a New Year's joke. There was no need to think too much. Just don't say like the Empress Dowager, "Oh, I didn't see XX. Is she dead?"
The Fifth Princess sat quite close to her sisters-in-law, and when she heard this, she glanced over. Seeing this, the Eighth Lady invited her to join them, saying, "Come join us when the time comes." Such an invitation was hard to refuse.
Everyone laughed.
The Empress Dowager said cheerfully to the concubines, "They are young people chatting and laughing. Just watching them makes me happy."
Yes, as long as you hold yourself together and don't talk nonsense.
——————————————————————————————————————————
If they wanted to get together, they had to wait until the palace formalities were completed. This year, there was an additional incident: Princess Gulun Shuhui was very ill, and even Emperor Kangxi went to visit her, so everyone had no choice but to go for a visit.
Shujia even asked Yinreng: "Princess Gulun is ill now. Is it disrespectful for us to feast and have fun at this time?"
Yinreng thought to himself that it would be best not to go, but since all his brothers' wives were going and the Crown Princess wasn't, it would seem that she was being polite, but it would be a bit out of place. With this thought in mind, he went to Kangxi to ask, "My eighth brother's wife is hosting a banquet. They sent out invitations before the New Year. The women want to get together for a while. They said that since the separation of the residences, they haven't been able to talk together. I'm thinking that Princess Gulun Shuhui is still ill... This..."
This attitude was quite satisfying. Although Kangxi was depressed, he was also understanding: "It's good that you have this kind of consideration. Princess Shuhui is not necessarily incompetent. Being so cautious seems to be causing taboos." Even if there was something wrong, during the New Year, the entire royal family couldn't be deprived of entertainment because of a princess. Kangxi himself was still arranging a banquet for the princes and magistrates of the foreign vassal states.
After receiving the tacit approval, the Crown Princess went to the banquet without any worries. It was already after the seventh day of the first lunar month, which was the banquet that Geng had received the invitation for.
Thanks to her sisters-in-law, the Crown Princess, who had not stepped out of the palace for several years, finally had the opportunity to go out of the palace and get some fresh air.
——The above is just theoretical.
The crow's-eye view from the Forbidden City to the Eighth Prince's residence was quite short. As everyone knows, in those days, it was absolutely impossible to find street vendors within a certain radius of the Forbidden City—where could one go to see all sorts of street life?! Even if there were a few pedestrians, she would have mounted her sedan chair before leaving the palace walls, and once the curtains were drawn, nothing could be seen—when the Crown Princess traveled, guards would clear the way, and by driving out the idlers, the streets would be clear and deserted.
The closer we got to the end of the country, the more lively it felt, from being completely silent to becoming a little noisy.
I opened the curtain a little and took a peek outside. There were only a few passers-by watching, but there were quite a few carriages and horses of different sizes.
After the curtain was lowered, the Crown Princess didn't even need to get down from the ground. She went straight through the gate. Only when she reached the backyard did someone come to ask her to move.
Shujia held Hongxiu's hand and landed steadily on the ground.
The head steward of the Eighth Prince's residence came to receive him personally. According to Gao Sanxie's information, his surname was Qin. "Greetings to the Crown Princess. Our wife, along with the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Seventh Furen, are all waiting in the hall. Please proceed."
They said they were moving, and someone carried a sedan chair over.
Steward Qin watched as the hem of the Crown Princess's golden cheongsam and the white embroidered flowerpot soles of her shoes under her Yuan-colored sable fur cloak made sounds on the ground, and continued to bow and lead the way.
The Eighth Prince's mansion was quite beautiful. Although I didn't get to see the various aspects of the market, it was nice to see the different buildings. Shujia held the hand warmer in both hands and slowly looked at the scenery of the Eighth Prince's mansion.
When they arrived at the flower hall, the sisters-in-law were already there. Besides them, there were some women with bun hairstyles or hairpins. The oldest was no more than forty, and the youngest was the daughter of the eldest wife.
After the greetings, Shujia took the first seat.
Geng stole a glance at the Crown Princess. She was wearing a bright yellow cheongsam embroidered with dragon patterns and a hairpin. She was about twenty-three or twenty-four, tall and slender, with a pair of long, phoenix-shaped eyes beneath long eyebrows. Geng bet that even though those eyes looked as clear as spring water, it was only because you hadn't seen them swell rapidly in the summer.
The stage had been set up long ago, but instead of performing an opera, people were talking.
The topic started by teasing the Third Lady: "It's true that every advantage has its disadvantages. She can't come to our fun this time."
The eldest concubine laughed along with everyone else, then began to breathe heavily, her voice like a broken bellows. The eldest princess hurried over to give her a back massage, while the eighth concubine ordered the servants, "Hurry up and change the tea for the eldest concubine."
Shujia praised Gege: "What a filial daughter! She is truly enviable."
The first wife took a sip of tea, calmed her breathing, and took the eldest princess's hand and said to everyone, "I'm not bragging, but all of my daughters are excellent."
It was normal for women to go off topic when chatting, and it was abnormal not to go off topic. The topic went from Sanfujin to the eldest princess, and then to the eldest princess's age to get married. The eldest princess was shy, grumbled, and hid behind the screen.
Geng listened attentively and thought to herself, even if her niece is not lucky enough to marry a member of the royal family, it is the same as having a young man.
In this discussion group, except for the eldest wife, the other wives were just practicing Taiping boxing: they didn't have any daughters who needed to get married right away! Until Qin Guanshi came to ask: "They are ready, do you want to move on and order a play?"
The topic came to an end.
There are only a few new plays, and no one is stupid enough to say they are not tragedies.
After listening to the play, everyone went home.
Geng reported the day's itinerary to Kuixu: "I didn't see any interesting children."
Kuixu comforted his wife: "How could I have fallen in love with you at first sight? Your father's chapter hasn't been published yet."
Mingzhu was writing a memorial, preparing to submit it as soon as possible. Before the marriage was even discussed, submitting it stating that her granddaughter was over the age limit and requesting a lenient decision was a request for instructions. If the matter had already been discussed, then requesting her dismissal would be a sham. She could wait until the emperor began attending to government affairs and submit it two days later. With so much government backlog, the emperor would undoubtedly prioritize the one he dealt with. When he was overwhelmed with work, his temper would flare. To bother him with trivial matters at this time was to ask for a fight. Submitting the memorial when he had some free time would have a higher chance of success.
Meanwhile, something else happened: Princess Gulun Shuhui died. Kangxi was first busy visiting her, then writing a eulogy for his aunt. After finishing the eulogy, he hosted a three-day banquet for the Mongolian vassal states.
Mingzhu had no choice but to continue waiting.
Finally, Princess Gulun Shuhui's funeral was over and her ashes were transported to her husband's family in Balin for burial. Only then did Mingzhu submit his report.
Kangxi was feeling sentimental and nostalgic: Another old man had passed away, and there were fewer and fewer people I knew from the past. It was so lonely.
I saw Mingzhu's request, which said that Nalan Xingde's daughter would be over the age limit next year. Next year, she would be looking for a son-in-law among a large number of unsuccessful contestants. This child without parents might not be favored, which would be too pitiful.
Kangxi had no intention of keeping the girl from the Nalan family, but when he felt soft-hearted, he directly approved it.
————————————————————————————————————————
Kangxi wiped away a tear of sadness. He still had work to do: this year was a very busy one. The Spring Examination was in February. He also had to deal with river affairs; last year's floods had been incredibly disturbing! Meanwhile, there were local livelihood issues to attend to, and the governors-general of each region would take turns visiting the capital to see the emperor.
Yinreng met one of his former teachers, Li Guangdi, who was in charge of Zhili. Then, he was filled with anger.
Li Guangdi enjoyed the emperor's deep favor and was a truly remarkable person. Despite the reputation of being unfilial and a traitor, he remained unscathed. This demonstrates his immense power. Similarly, he was a slippery man who wouldn't release his eagle until he saw the rabbit. Although he had heard about the crown prince's transformation (considering the relationship between Zhili and the capital), he still refused to believe it.
Yinreng said to Shujia more than once: "Li Guangdi is much more difficult to get along with than Zhang Ying and Xiong Cili!" When the governor came to Beijing, he saw one "provincial governor" after another passing by and could not win them over openly. It was like marrying a wife but not giving her the bridal chamber!
Until one day, he saw Guo Xiu, the Governor of Huguang, who came to Beijing to meet the emperor.
Let's briefly introduce Guo Xiu. Over a decade ago, he was the first to overthrow the Ming. With a single impeachment, Ming Zhu was deposed, and Yu Guozhu and Fulun were subsequently implicated, severely damaging the Ming Party. Regardless of who ultimately benefited, he had already severely damaged the Ming Party. How could the Ming Party accept this?
Fulun was not about to let go easily. Not only did he entrap Guo Xiu, he also falsely accused him of being a servant of Huang Zongchang, the late Ming Dynasty censor. Guo Xiu's father wasn't actually named Guo Jingchang, but Guo Erbiao, a former traitor. Guo Xiu had secretly changed his father's name and requested a title, which should be revoked. The Ministry of Justice approved the request and arrested him and brought him to Jiangning for investigation. Guo Xiu's career was thus delayed for ten years. Last year, Emperor Kangxi, during his southern tour, remembered Guo Xiu and, considering him honest and capable, having previously served in the local government, promoted him to Governor-General of Huguang.
Guo Xiu has been silent for ten years, and she can no longer bear the grievance. So, revenge is here!
It was directly recorded in the personnel file: his father Guo Jingchang was a poor student at Jimo County School in his hometown, and had received allowances and subsidies, as can be found in the file.
Fulun regretted it so much that he should have taken out his father's file if he had known earlier! I used to be the governor of Shandong!
Even though there was not much gain from this incident, Yinreng accepted it!
Fulun was unable to answer, and the way he accepted his fate and apologized was enough to make Yinreng laugh for several days.
Soon, his laughter faltered—the results of the Spring Examination were in. That wasn't the big deal; the problem was that one of the candidates was going to be Mingzhu's grandson-in-law. He'd even been appointed a Shujishi, and his father was named Nian Xialing. Nian Xialing was the Governor of Hebei (he held the title of Shilang to show his alignment with the central government) and a Han soldier of the Bordered Yellow Banner.
The Crown Prince tried to curry favor for a long time, but failed to persuade his Master Li. And Guo Xiu, who was at odds with the Ming Party, left just two days after the audience with the Emperor. Determined to "recapture the lost ten years," he raced against time to eliminate problems and promote benefits in his jurisdiction, leaving the Crown Prince no time to act.
Mingzhu quietly made the Governor of Hubei a relative in just two or three months!
What the hell! ! !
————————————————————————————————————————
What the hell!
Shujia also cursed inwardly. She knew about the Spring Examination, but she hadn't had access to the final results, so she only "knew" about it. She still didn't care about the subsequent Palace Examination. She hadn't remembered the number of students Kangxi had appointed to the Imperial Academy, as there were so many. She only knew that this year, a member of the imperial clan was very ambitious and had passed the exam. This was a typical example, as Yinreng had said.
Until this day, while chatting with the Empress Dowager, everyone was gossiping. The Third Lady, who had already given birth, also came. When she heard that Kangxi was planning to arrange a marriage for the eldest princess, she laughed and said, "There are so many happy events this year."
Shu Jiayin asked, "Apart from my niece and our fifth princess, is there anyone else?"
The Third Lady said, "There really is a good thing, a double happiness." The Governor of Hubei is getting married to a Grand Secretary, the groom-to-be is a newly-minted Jinshi and Shujishi, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the father of the bride-to-be is the most talented scholar in this dynasty. This is definitely worth gossiping about.
The Empress Dowager had no idea what the title was, but all she knew was, "There was a young man who was very good at studying, and then he became an official, and he wanted to get married right after he became an official." "He's really lucky."
Everyone: "Yes, yes, it's a great joyous event."
Crown Princess: Who the hell can tell me what's going on here?! ! Why is Nian Gengyao not a member of the Fourth Party, but Mingzhu's grandson-in-law? If not the Ming Party, then the Eighth Party, right?
Shujia's brain was completely bewildered. General Nian?! Wasn't he a martial artist? How did he change his name to a scholar? She knew this guy because General Nian had a younger sister who was the concubine of the Fourth Prince. 'It was said' that the Fourth Prince had married his younger sister to win him over.
P!
Nian Gengyao was clearly a scholar, so how did he become a general? While it wasn't difficult to transition from civil service to military service these days, it wasn't that easy, was it? Was becoming a general that easy? Furthermore, since Mingzhu had chosen this grandson-in-law, why would she let Nian Gengyao take advantage of someone else?
Could it be that they have the same name and surname? [1] Shujia was confused.
The author has something to say: Code-blind Mourou has been getting all the TX in various photo albums lately, and the students are watching with great joy. Mourou was extremely frustrated, and then he realized that everyone else was also being TXed. They all thought they were the sofa, but in fact, they just lost the previous comments, and suddenly he felt mentally balanced.
Well, the truth about General Nian is that he was the same Nian Gengyao. Later, he became a governor and, during the Northwest War, demonstrated his abilities. Furthermore, his sister was personally appointed by Emperor Kangxi as a concubine to the Fourth Prince, and only then did his family become his protégés. Anyone who says the Fourth Prince sold himself to curry favor with General Nian will be beaten! The Nian family wasn't a bannerman; they were already members of the banners during their time in the Northeast.
