99 Chapter 99
Kangxi 61 November Wuzi, the queen mother died, the emperor heard the great sorrow, the already unhealed physical condition aggravated again, life once fell into danger, by the imperial doctor Liu Shengfang, Zhang Rui and Qin Mama to rescue for two full days, the emperor finally survived the danger of life.
After another three days, after the only few remaining bottles of health pills offered by Ru Hui, the emperor finally woke up from his slumber and ate the first porridge with his mouth open.
Geng Yin, the emperor was not good at acting, and ordered the fourth son of the emperor Yinzhen to worship the sky on his behalf.
On the twelfth day, the health pills were exhausted, and the emperor was able to swallow food other than liquids.
The emperor rescued him, but due to a series of serious illnesses, he was dying several times, his health was so bad that he couldn't control even his stool, and he didn't have the energy to deal with court affairs.
In December, the emperor carried himself to the court, and ordered one of the scholars and a close confidant of the clan to hand over the two secret decrees he had left just in case, the two secret decrees plus the bottom files left in the palace, and the three holy decrees were placed on the high imperial case.
The emperor wore his personal eunuch Li Dequan to read the holy decree in the hall.
Li Dequan took a copy of the holy decree from the imperial case and unfolded it, and when the palace read it, the royal family and noble ministers who stretched from the Qianqing Palace to the square outside the palace all knelt on the ground, listening to the resounding decree of the world:
“…… Prince Yong's fourth son, Yinzhen, has a noble character, bows deeply, and will be able to overcome the unification. After succeeding me to the throne, that is, the emperor's throne, that is, obeying the public opinion system, holding the service for 27 days, releasing the proclamation at home and abroad, and the salty envoy heard about it. ”
After Li Dequan finished reading the holy decree summarizing the emperor's life and passing on the throne to Prince Yong, he retreated to the side of the throne to serve.
The emperor coughed lightly a few times, and said in an extremely weak voice: "This is the edict left by me, which was originally prepared for the death of me, I didn't want my life to be big, and I was rescued again, but I was no longer able to listen to the government, therefore, I will not change the intention of the fourth son of the emperor, and I will be the emperor, and I will retire to the Palace of Nourishing the Heart as the emperor, a hundred civil and military officials, and I will not receive the decree!"
When the emperor said a word, Li Dequan conveyed a sentence to him, which could be said in only one minute on weekdays, and it took nearly a quarter of an hour for Li Dequan to finish passing it on.
At this point, the emperor on the throne was forced to pass on the throne due to his body, and the last trace of unwillingness faded.
Think about the prescription of the imperial doctor Liu Shengfang again: the body of the saint is very bad, if you take care of the government again, the world will be discolored within ten days, if you take care of it well, no longer work hard, and provide for the whole world, or have a year or two of life.
The emperor still believes in Liu Shengfang's loyalty, and he also knows his own body in his heart, and understands that if he still holds on to the imperial power, there must be only a dead end, so the emperor naturally chooses to abdicate and raise his honor.
Anyway, with the fourth child's personality, the emperor knows very well, not to mention that he supports the emperor's father with the whole world, that is, to take his blood and bones, the fourth child will be willing.
Thinking about Hongyao, who is intimate in everything, the emperor who is sitting on the throne has a smile on his old face, in order to teach this beloved grandson, he will also live for two more years.
Above the court, after listening to the emperor's personal words conveyed by Li Dequan, the Manchu clan and magnates looked at each other, and they didn't know whether to accept the order for a while.
When the Manchu Dynasty hesitated, the Nine Emperor Princes raised their heads suddenly, and they wanted to open their mouths to speak, but they were glared at by the Eighth Emperor who knelt beside him and lowered his head.
The thirteenth prince's handsome face turned red, but he didn't dare to raise his head, only clenched his fists and tensed his body with excitement.
Prince Cheng glanced at the fourth brother beside him, sighed, and lowered his head.
Prince Heng glanced at the fourth brother in front of him, and then looked back at the eighth and ninth brothers not far away, and saw that they were honestly kneeling in place, relieved, turned around and stretched out his hand to push the fourth master: "Fourth brother, take the order!"
The fourth master raised his head, the expression on his face seemed to be sad and difficult, for a long time, under the continuous urging of Prince Heng and King Chunjun, he finally came out of the crowd, knelt in front of the palace and cried: "The emperor's decree, the sons dare not accept it, the emperor's father is blessed with Qitian, even if there is a short-term restlessness, it will be able to be raised in a few days, please take back the holy order." ”
As soon as Prince Yong's words came out, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all bowed: "Please ask the emperor to withdraw his will." ”
The emperor did not allow it, and his words and intentions had been decided.
Prince Yong resigned, and the emperor was determined to abdicate.
When Prince Yong resigned, the emperor was annoyed: "If you don't take over the throne, you want to exhaust your father to death?" I have been in the world for 61 years, and I should have been nursing for a long time, for the sake of my father's life, you still haven't accepted the order, so you don't want to be filial!"
Prince Yong, who was forced to have no way out, had no choice but to kowtow and receive the will, but he refused to settle in the Qianqing Palace, only willing to live in the Yangxin Palace, and, in order to show respect, after him, the emperors from generation to generation, all lived in the Yangxin Palace, and the Qianqing Palace should be the place of the emperor's father, otherwise, it would be in the name of unfilial piety, and he would not accept the decree.
The emperor was helped by Li Dequan and dropped a royal pen, stared at the fourth son who refused to bow his head for a long time, and finally reluctantly agreed to Prince Yong's request.
The emperor sat on the throne and watched the Manchu ministers worship the new emperor, and finally put his mind at ease, and his mind was slack, and he fainted.
The Emperor fainted, and the dynasty was in chaos, but fortunately, the new emperor was calm, and there was already an imperial doctor waiting by his side, and two quarters of an hour later, the emperor was rescued.
In the inner hall of the Qianqing Palace, the Emperor Taishang was lying on the dragon bed and instructed the twenty sons who knelt in front of the bed: "The new emperor is on the throne, and you should work together to assist the new emperor, and you must not harm the country selfishly, otherwise if you let me know, you will be confined, and it is unpredictable." ”
Although the tiger is old, the power is especially existing, as soon as the words of the emperor came out, the princes of the palace were terrified, and they all spoke in unison: "The sons and daughters receive orders." ”
……
Emperor Taishang abdicated, the new emperor ascended the throne, the New Year, the Yuan was changed, the queen ascended the throne, and the harem was relocated......
From December of the 61st year of Kangxi to January of the first year of Yongzheng, in just over a month, from the new emperor to the officials, they were all busy with the soles of their feet, and finally arranged all the affairs before the Lantern Festival in the first year of Yongzheng.
The new emperor lived in the Yangxin Palace, Ru Hui, who was named the imperial concubine, lived in the Yongshou Palace, which was closest to the Yangxin Palace, and the queen was supposed to live in Kunning Palace, but because the Emperor Taishang lived in the Qianqing Palace, the queen asked for the order to live in the Yonghe Palace where the Queen Mother lived before.
The Li family, who was named Concubine Qi, lived in Zhongcui Palace, and Concubine Rong, who originally lived in Zhongcui Palace, was allowed by Emperor Taishang to leave the palace and live in the mansion of his son Prince Cheng.
The rest of the Gege Song, Wu, and Gao clans who served the new emperor Yu Qiandi were named concubines, and Niu Colu, Geng, Chang and several other concubines were named nobles.
lived in the Yangxin Palace together, the former Concubine De, and now the Queen Mother live in the Cining Palace.
Compared with the huge harem of the Emperor Taishang, the new emperor's concubines can be described as thin.
As a result, some courtiers in the court asked the new emperor to allow the draft and expand the harem.
Unexpectedly, after the new emperor saw it, he directly put it aside, and after the court promoted this person to a level, he transferred it to the household department, and found a bunch of tricky things that were actively difficult to deal with in the old years and handed them over to him, and said in person: If you don't dispose of it properly, you are not allowed to go to the court.
It is a good thing to be promoted, but it is not easy to give even Prince Yong a proper errand, so to speak, this person is estimated to be in that position for the rest of his life.
Subsequently, no one in the Manchu Dynasty proposed that the new emperor expand the harem.
The new emperor ascended the throne, taking the next year as the first year of Yongzheng, and the first thing he did, the emperor immediately ordered Beile Yinxi, the emperor's thirteenth brother Yinxiang, the university scholar Maqi, and Shangshu Long Keduo Prime Minister affairs.
Summoning the great general Yinyu to come to Beijing.
Associate University Fellow of the Ministry of Command. Yang Zongren was the governor of Huguang, and Cha Lang'a was the governor of Guangdong.
In the first year of Yongzheng, after the new emperor asked the emperor for permission, he crowned Baylor Yinxi as Lian Beile, Yinxiang as the king of Yijun, Yinyi as the king of the county, and Hongxi, the son of the abolished prince Yinren, as the king of Lijun.
Fu Ning'an was ordered to be a university scholar, Long Keduo was the secretary of the ministry, and Lian Beile Yinxu was in charge of the affairs of the domain. Zhang Tingyu is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Awarded to the second earl of the university Smarzie, and gave the name Dunhui.
……
In the Qianqing Palace, Hongyao sat in front of the emperor's couch and read the "Historical Records" for him.
The Emperor closed his eyes and listened quietly, and when he heard something that he felt that Hongyao should pay attention to thinking, he moved his fingers, and when he saw the index finger of the Emperor's right hand flicking, Hongyao would immediately stop, take the pen as a note, mark it out, and study it by himself after the Emperor Taishang rested.
After reading for an hour, the Emperor Taishang opened his eyes, looked at Hongyao with a smile, and said vaguely: "Rest." ”
Whenever he heard that Marfa, who had once scolded Fang You, was now unable to even say anything, Hongyao's heart would always be fierce, and then, when serving the emperor, his actions would inevitably be more meticulous and thoughtful.
The emperor, who has seen people all his life, naturally sees everything about his grandson in his eyes, and at the same time, in order to avoid his grandson's distress, he will try his best to use one or two more spoonfuls when he eats, because every time he sees his meal increase, his grandson will inevitably be happy.
The emperor also knew that the way for his grandson to be happy was to go to the square outside the Qianqing Palace to run around the wall while he was asleep, and greet the guards on duty while running. ”
So.
The interaction between the Emperor Taishang and Brother Hongyao, from the Empress Taishang Palace to the courtiers, everyone sighed at the depth of the relationship between the ancestors and grandchildren, and at the same time, they sighed that the imperial concubine gave birth to a good son.
Ru Hui, who lived in Yongshou Palace, only smiled lightly when she heard the palace people talking about the feelings of the harem people.
"Hongyao is a good boy, and the Emperor Taishang is also a good grandfather. ”
Listening to Ru Hui's sudden sigh, the new emperor sat by the lake in the space with Ru Hui in his arms, smiling meaningfully.
"Hongyao's boy, I don't know what to say, I heard Li Dequan say that when Ama was seriously ill, he couldn't sleep at night, so he ran to the emperor's father's couch to guard, holding the emperor's hand and whimpering, saying that if the emperor's ancestor died of illness, he would go out of the palace and travel the world on foot, and use hard practice to resist the pain of breaking his heart.
Coincidentally, Ama was awakened by his choking voice, and when she heard his words, she was reluctant, so she said that she would earn her life and accompany her grandson for two more years, so that she made up her mind to take the Zen position in advance. ”
Ru Hui looked at the vast lake, "No matter how hard-hearted a person is, when he gets old, he will inevitably be soft-hearted towards his grandchildren." ”
What Ru Hui didn't say was that some people are usually very gentle and harmless, but when they die, they will become crazy, which is the change born from the fear of death.
I have to say that for the current changes of the Emperor Taishang, not only the fourth master, but also her, she also breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Fourteen is coming back. The fourth master looked at the faint lake, and the corners of his lips were slightly tightened.
