The days of going to and from the front yard were much more fulfilling than the comfort of doing nothing before, and the whole person became less depressed and depressed because he had something to do. www.biquge.info I know that there are still three years to go, and this man will become the most noble emperor of this era, and it will be difficult to have such a close and casual attitude at that time, so cherish it if you can, even if the crisis behind you is still heavy, I don't want to be afraid to escape the rare little happiness.

Yin Zhen, who was not confused, did not have the vigor of the year, and his emaciated face made the original delicate facial contours look very sharp and angular, and his gestures were more of the stability of a mature man, and the tightly locked eyebrows contained the sorrow of worrying about the country and the people, but there was more temperament that was not angry and arrogant, and his eyes were still sharp, but when he looked at himself, he would have a little more tenderness and pampering. Maybe it's because the age of his previous life was relatively old, but he knows how to appreciate him more at this time.

"What are you looking at?" Yin Zhen put down the pen in his hand and asked me with a smile who was staring at him in a daze.

"Look at you" was originally looking at it brightly, and there was no embarrassment when asked, and I generously admitted it.

"What do I have to look at?" Yin Zhen chuckled, got up and left the bookcase to sit on the couch on the other side.

"I don't think about it, I just think that I haven't looked at you well for more than ten years, so I just want to take a look. I pursed my lips and chuckled.

"Yes, it seems to be difficult for you to stay in someone's eyes, so it will make people think that you are just a bystander, I once asked Geng Guanling about you, and I heard him say that you were originally very lively as a wild horse, but since you were twelve years old after a serious illness, it is like a person, although the mind is as active as ever, and the temperament is still so strong and independent, but I don't know why they are more distant and polite, and then they are not so attentive to anything, and I don't know why. Yin Zhen followed my words and said.

Yinzhen's gaze didn't fall on my face, and his tone didn't have too many waves like a few homely, but these words made my back chill, as if I was being seen through, and I suddenly felt empty.

"That illness is very dangerous, like walking around the ghost gate, maybe it is the experience of life and death, some touching and understanding, the mood is naturally different, you will always be unable to distinguish between reality and dreams, and you will always suffer from gains and losses. Perhaps it is because of such an opportunity that I have realized the fragility of life, and I will become selfish because I cherish my life, and I will pursue stability because I am afraid of twists and turns. I didn't avoid his words, and explained my changes in a more reasonable way, I didn't want to lie to him, but my own situation was beyond the scope of normal people's understanding, and it was useless to say more if I couldn't say it clearly.

"Also, because I have lost it, I will cherish it extraordinarily, and I will not suffer from gains and losses like this. It's just that in the emperor's family, there are too few things that can really be owned, even if I have been full of ambition over the years, but I am sorry that I am constrained everywhere, and I see the suffering of the people in the world but it is difficult to exert my strength, I am afraid that only in power can I get what I want. Xu is my words were sincere, Yinzhen did not doubt it, stood up and looked at the snow outside the window and sighed.

"I understand your thoughts, and I also know that what you want for that position is not your own selfishness, but a real concern for the country and the people, so even if everyone betrays your relatives, I will support you to the end. I got up and walked behind him, put my arms around his waist, and put my head on his straight back to warm his slightly thin body, and at the same time felt the warmth from his body.

Yinzhen let me hug me, quietly raised his hand to hold my hand, both of them stopped talking, and the warmth and affection in the room seemed to melt away a lot of the winter cold outside the house.

In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year of Layue, and the fierce battle for the prince is also becoming more and more intense. At this time, the bell of the national funeral came from the deep palace, and the Empress Dowager Xiaohuizhang, the mother of Emperor Kangxi, died.

Empress Dowager Xiaokangzhang, a Mongolian, Borzigit, her aunt was the first empress of Emperor Shunzhi, who was deposed in the tenth year of Shunzhi and demoted to Concubine Jing. In the eleventh year of Shunzhi, the fourteen-year-old Borzigit was selected to enter the palace, made a concubine, and canonized as an empress a month later.

Borzigit is three years younger than Emperor Shunzhi, although he is young and beautiful, he is too loyal and honest, and he is not good at greeting, so he is not favored after entering the palace. Two years later, Dong E's entry into the palace was deeply favored, and Borzigit was even more cold. Emperor Shunzhi always wanted to depose the disgraced queen and let Dong Eshi replace her. Just after the New Year of the fifteenth year of Shunzhi, Emperor Shunzhi stopped her "middle palace note" on the grounds that Empress Borzigit was sick during the illness of the empress dowager, and only retained the queen's title and treasure, which was actually equivalent to stopping the queen's powers. Emperor Shunzhi's intention to abolish the queen was not realized due to the resistance and persuasion of the empress dowager and the imperial concubine of the Dong E clan.

Less than seven years after the Borzigit clan entered the palace, the Shunzhi Emperor died, and the Borzigit clan was just twenty-one years old at that time, and began to live a widowhood life. After Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne, he respected her as the empress dowager, and gave her the emblem five times, and the full name of the emblem was "Renxian Keshun Cheng Hui Chun Shu Duan Empress Dowager". When Emperor Kangxi's biological mother, Empress Dowager Xiaokangzhang, died of illness, Kangxi was just ten years old. As a result, as the Empress Dowager of Xiaokangzhang, the Borzigit clan assisted the Empress Dowager Wen of Xiaozhuang to shoulder the burden of cultivating and educating Kangxi. Borzigit regarded Kangxi as his own son, poured all his maternal love, and established a deep mother-son relationship with Kangxi, although it was not biological, it was better than biological life. In the more than half a century that they have been together, Kangxi has been extremely filial and respectful to the Empress Dowager Xiaokangzhang in order to support the world. When Xuan Ye traveled to other places, he was accompanied by the Empress Dowager Xiaokang Zhang many times. Inspect the south of the Yangtze River, show the ancestral tombs, bathe in the hot springs, escape the summer outside the Saiwai, and worship Shengjing. Every time the Queen Mother celebrates Christmas, Xuan Ye always congratulates Chongqing. The forty-ninth year of Kangxi is the seventieth birthday of the Empress Dowager, and on the sixteenth day of the first month, Xuanye held a grand banquet in the palace of the Empress Dowager Xiaokangzhang, and congratulated Chongqing. Fifty-seven-year-old Kangxi, in order to cheer up the Empress Dowager Xiaokangzhang, happily danced a python dance in front of ministers, eunuchs, and palace maids. Kangxi frequently raised his glass and toasted to the Empress Dowager Xiaokangzhang, which was rumored to be a celestial event at that time.

In December of the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi, the Empress Dowager Xiaokangzhang, who was more than seventy years old, was sick in bed, and Xuan Ye, who lived in Changchun Garden in western Beijing, heard this letter, and was anxious. During this period, Emperor Kangxi himself was also sick, dizzy and swollen feet, and difficult to move, but despite his physical illness, he went to visit this adoptive mother every day, wrapping his feet with a silk handkerchief every time and carrying him with a soft one. It is said that the sixty-four-year-old Emperor Kangxi knelt in front of the sickbed of the Empress Dowager Xiaokangzhang, took the Empress Dowager's hand, and said affectionately: "Queen Mother, the minister is here." The Empress Dowager Xiaokangzhang, who was in a coma, vaguely heard the shout, opened her eyes vigorously, covered the light with her hands, looked at Xuan Ye slightly, took Xuan Ye's hand, and didn't let go for a long time, the corners of her mouth moved a few times, as if she had a lot to say, but she couldn't say a word. The deep love between mother and son moved everyone present to tears.

On the evening of December 6 of that year, the Empress Dowager Xiaokangzhang passed away at the age of 77. She served as the empress dowager for 57 years, more than half a century, and was the longest-serving empress dowager in the Qing Dynasty, which is extremely rare even in Chinese history. She also had a higher lifespan, second only to Emperor Qianlong's biological mother, Empress Xiao Shengxian, and ranked second among the empress dowagers of the Qing Dynasty.

The death of the Empress Dowager Xiaokangzhang made the seriously ill Kangxi very sad, and sincerely lamented that "at this time, there are no people who are filial to me, and there are no people who love me". Emperor Kangxi, who is close to ancient times, although he has a full house of children and grandchildren, still longs to be sincerely cared for and loved, and Xiaohui's care and love for the emperor as a mother-in-law is something that no one else around Emperor Kangxi, including concubines, can give. Therefore, the departure of Emperor Kangxi's mother-in-law left an irreparable defect for the last five years of Emperor Kangxi's life. Since this year, Kangxi's body has begun to go downhill completely, and it has also pushed the battle for succession to the most intense and severe moment. (To be continued.) )
