My father is Yongzheng, and I am Qianlong?

Chapter 20 Iron Hat King
"You!" Hongshi's face changed.

But Hongli had already gone far away, leaving no chance for Hongshi to continue educating Hongchun.

Because Hongli really doesn't care about Hongchun's feelings.

Not to mention, the future emperor will not be the Fourteenth Prince, but Yongzheng.

Therefore, he didn't need to be afraid of the eldest son of the Fourteenth Prince.

For example, even if he taught a lesson to a servant girl beside Concubine De, Hongchun should not force Hongshi to apologize for a servant girl, and he should not even talk about it openly.

After all, what Hongchun did was tantamount to trampling on and insulting Hongli's dignity, and forcing Hongli to apologize to him for being a "slave".

You know, as Hongli's grandmother, Concubine De didn't do this. She just doubled the punishment on Yinshuang to vent his anger.

However, when Hongli told Hongshi about this, Hongxi, who had discovered them because he came to see Shushen, was hiding in the dark and heard their conversation.

Hongxi therefore looked at Hongli with approval.

It is said that after Hongli left, he met Yongzheng.

He could see that Yongzheng was waiting for him on purpose, wanting to talk to him alone.

Otherwise, Yongzheng would not have waited for him in a secluded place in this garden, but would have sent someone to call him directly.

Hongli walked towards Yongzheng and saluted him.

Yongzheng nodded and asked, "I already know that you punished Yin Shuang, who was by my grandmother's side."

"Third brother just came to see my son for this matter."

Hongli replied at this time.

Yongzheng's expression suddenly turned unhappy, then he brushed his sleeves and said seriously: "You did the right thing!"

"Just any servant can't give orders to the master! And it's more appropriate for you to teach him a lesson yourself rather than letting me do it."

"Grandmother Fei didn't blame her grandson. She even sent him some strawberries afterwards."

Yongzheng laughed after hearing this and said with envy: "You are more blessed than me, your father!"

Hongli smiled and agreed with what Yongzheng said. In history, Qianlong was much more fortunate than Yongzheng.

Hongli also said: "If it weren't for my father, my son would not have been able to enjoy this blessing."

"How are you doing with Khanma Fa these days?"

Yongzheng was a person who didn't like to say a lot of formal words, so he got straight to the point.

Hongli then told Yongzheng about the time when Kangxi took him on a secret visit to the market to inquire about the prices of rice and salt, as well as his conversation with Kangxi in the noodle shop.

"Khan Ama is old!"

Yongzheng sighed after hearing this.

Hongli continued, "Later, Khan Mafa took his son to meet someone secretly."

"Who did you meet?"

Yongzheng asked seriously.

Hongli said: "Fang Linggao!"

"It's actually him?"

Yongzheng was startled, frowned and thought, looking at the lake.

A gentle breeze blew across the lake, creating ripples that soon moved the willow leaves on the opposite bank.

Not long after this, Yongzheng's mouth corners slightly raised.

Afterwards, Yongzheng asked Hongli: "What did they say?"

Hongli told Yongzheng what he knew, and then said: "But later, Khan Mafa talked with him alone for a while, but I don't know what they talked about."

Yongzheng nodded and began to put his hands behind his back: "In any case, Khan Mafa is taking you to meet the top scholar among the Han scholars. This shows that he thinks highly of you. You must cherish this opportunity."

"My son, I'll remember that."

After that, Hongli did not stay with Yongzheng anymore, but returned to Guanlanxie, prepared to change clothes, and then go to Machang to practice riding and shooting.

Although it is almost Mid-Autumn Festival, his studies have not stopped yet.

However, on his way back to Guanlanxie, Hongli met another person.

This person is Hongxi.

The eldest son of the deposed Crown Prince Yinreng, and also the eldest grandson of Kangxi!
Strictly speaking, Hongxi was Kangxi's most beloved grandson and the one who was raised in the palace the longest.

In fact, an important reason why Kangxi reinstated the crown prince was that Hongxi was very virtuous.

It can be seen how much Kangxi doted on Hongxi.

Even the Korean envoys, when reporting to the King on Kangxi's death, said that apart from instructing to pass the throne to Yinzhen, Kangxi had only instructed to make Hongxi a prince.

As soon as Hongxi saw Hongli, he took the initiative to greet him with a pleasant face: "Hongli!"

Seeing this, Hongli also stopped and saluted.

"You and I are brothers, why be so polite?"

"I've heard your sister Shushen always praise you so much. Now looking at your appearance, you are indeed a young and talented person. No wonder you are kept by Hanmafa."

Hongxi patted Hongli on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Big brother and sister are friendly to me, that's why they say that." Hongli replied with a smile.

Hongxi touched Hongli's shoulder again and whispered to him, "I heard that you offended someone around Hongchun?"

Hongli smiled secretly in his heart, he knew that Hongxi was beginning to think that he could be won over.

However, Hongli was intentionally trying to confuse Hongxi, who was part of the Deposed Crown Prince's faction, in order to avoid making too many enemies at once. He also wanted Hongxi and the others to continue focusing on the Eighth and Fourteenth Princes' factions, so he nodded.

"To be honest, big brother, this is true. They want me to deal with Sister Shushen. They don't want her to stay with Khanmafa!"

"hateful!"

Hongxi cursed out loud.

He naturally believed that what Hongli said was true.

After all, he also understood that Shushen staying with Kangxi would make many people feel uneasy.

Hongxi then bowed to Hongli and said, "My dear brother, I would like to thank you in advance!"

Hongli hurriedly supported Hongxi and said, "Big brother, there's no need to be so polite. Khan Mafa loves Sister Shushen very much. How could I possibly do something that Khan Mafa doesn't like?"

"It's just that my sister has always been naughty, and I'm afraid she might have offended you. I hope you'll be kind enough not to be too angry with her for my sake."

Hongxi smiled and spoke at this time.

Hongli said: "No way, the emperor's sister treats me very well now, just like a real sister."

"That's good!"

Hongxi smiled and nodded, then pulled Hongli aside to a quiet place:

"Good brother, I'll tell you something. Khan Mafa actually still intends to reinstate my father!"

"So, as long as you sincerely acknowledge me as your brother, and if Khanmafa really does so in the future, I, your brother, will naturally benefit from your kindness and give you a strong support if I ever succeed to the throne!"

"Besides, your father and uncle Thirteen are already very close to us, what do you think?

Hongli didn't expect Hongxi to start making promises for him so soon.

Most of the titles of the Qing Dynasty royal family could not be inherited, and the iron-hat titles that could be inherited without being demoted were very rare.

Therefore, the pie that Hongxi painted can be said to be quite big.

But this is only possible if Hongxi can really become the emperor.

But for Hongli, who knew that he would become an emperor in history, this pie was not attractive enough.

However, Hongli did not mock him, but nodded earnestly: "Brother, I will remember what you said!"

"Don't worry! A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand gold. When have I ever lied to anyone, brother?"

Hongxi said this and walked away with a big smile on his face.

Time flies by like a white horse.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, winter came in the blink of an eye.

On this day, when Hongli braved the snow to come to Xunjianzhai to continue to receive Kangxi's guidance on government affairs, Kangxi suddenly said to him:

"Hongli, you've been studying with Khanmafa for almost a year. Khanmafa thought it was time for you to get some practical experience."

Hongli knew that the imperial grandsons who followed Kangxi would be assigned some tasks after studying for a period of time, which could be regarded as an internship after receiving theoretical learning.

In this regard.

Hongli couldn't help but feel secretly happy, thinking that in this power society, the closer you are to the highest power, the more opportunities you have to receive the gifts of power.

Now that he is being kept by Kangxi and taught personally, he can get the opportunity to do work before he even reaches adulthood.

In the Qing Dynasty, if the descendants of the royal family wanted to have the opportunity to be granted a title or a higher rank, they had to do official work!
What's more, the ability to do official business is also an opportunity to gain huge political resources and economic benefits.

But you have to know that many princes and grandchildren did not get the opportunity to do official work when they reached adulthood.

For example, the seventeenth prince Yinli had no job yet and had not been granted a title.

And his third brother Hongshi.

Whenever Hongshi had the opportunity to perform an errand, Yongzheng would not have been embarrassed to stop him from being named the crown prince.

Therefore, when Hongli was a minor, he got the opportunity to do internship because Kangxi wanted to train him. Naturally, compared with other princes and grandsons of the emperor, he took a shortcut.

"There is something suitable for you to do right now. I wonder if you are willing to work hard for it?"

Kangxi put his hands in his sleeves and asked Hongli with a smile.

At this time, Hongli bowed and said, "My grandson has always wanted to share Khan Mafa's worries. Please let Khan Mafa give you your instructions!"

"Now that winter has arrived, although the imperial court has strictly prohibited the people from fleeing, the number of refugees from all over the country who have come to the capital to beg for food has only increased. I cannot really ignore the lives of these people, so I still have to provide them with relief."

"I intend to let you take charge of this famine relief work. Our goal is to prevent as many people from starving to death as possible, so as to avoid offending Heaven and hurting people's hearts!"

"But you're still young, so you still need an adult uncle to guide you. Who do you want to lead you in this?"

Kangxi then asked about Hongli.

Hongli thought for a moment and replied, "My grandson wants my elder brother Hongxi to take care of me."

Kangxi's brows widened slightly, and he immediately asked Hongli with a smile, "Why?"

"Because Khan Mafa said he was very virtuous!"
