Chapter 289: After the banquet is established

On March 18, the 52nd year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi's 60th birthday, the whole world celebrates!

On March 25, Emperor Kangxi gave the first banquet in front of the main gate of Changchun Garden for 33 Han ministers, officials and scholars over 90 years old, 538 people over 80 years old, 1,823 people over 70 years old, and 1,846 people over 65 years old.

This is the first banquet, Feng Li immediately asked people to place people according to the previous arrangement, and then according to the established steps, one by one.

"Beauty offers tea - Junshan silver needle. Above! "The eunuchs raised their voices and shouted, and the old people who sat down one after another, it can be seen that all the palace maids with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes came up with steaming and fragrant tea, each person has a cup, and the closer they go, the stronger the tea." Sure enough, it is the best Junshan silver needle.

"Four dried fruits: weird walnuts, crystal gummies, spiced cashew nuts, peanut sticky, on!" After the tea, it was dried fruit, and the eunuch continued to shout, "Four products of candied fruit; four products of gluttony; Four kinds of pickles......"

Some of the dim sum or dish names shouted one after another are unheard of, but as soon as this banquet opened, when the dish was served, Kangxi, who was dressed in a dragon robe, stood up, "I am the first cup of wine, I respect the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, and my imperial grandmother Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, I lost my father at the age of eight and my mother at the age of nine, it was the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang who taught me how to be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty." ”

Kangxi drank it all, indicating that it was full, Kangxi raised his glass again, "My second cup of wine, respect to the people of the world, the courtiers, and these fellow elders, it is you who govern these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with me, and create this peaceful and prosperous world. Without you, there would be no Qing Dynasty today, I. Thank you. ”

"The third cup, I respect my mortal enemies, Ao Bai, Wu Sangui, Galdan, it is you who have single-handedly caused my deeds. Without them, I would not be where I am today. I hate them, and I thank them. They're dead. Defeated at my hands and dead, but if there is an afterlife, I still want them to be my enemies and oppose me again. "Kangxi's cup. but it was sprinkled on the ground.

"As for this fourth cup. I want to honor my imperial concubine. With such three glasses of wine, it can be seen that Kangxi's atmosphere is awe-inspiring, but this fourth cup is unexpected, because this is a banquet, and no female dependents attended, but Kangxi's words opened his mouth. How can it not be preached?

"In this life, I have made the world peaceful. The people live in peace, and the most happy thing is to be able to get the imperial concubine, but ah, I have made her suffer a lot of grievances all my life, but my imperial concubine, I have failed her for the world, although she resents, but never let me be embarrassed by her. However, today, I am already a person who has been half buried in the loess, but I don't want to let her be wronged for the rest of my life. The topic of Kangxi fell, and the whole hall exploded, "The edict after the establishment has been sent to the Ministry of Rites, and after the banquet, the Ministry of Rites is preparing for the canonization ceremony." ”

Since the seventeenth year of Kangxi, the filial piety of Empress Niu Hulu died, and the back position of the middle palace has been vacant for many years, Yuan Fengli was favored, and he was able to be named the imperial concubine as soon as he entered the air, and everyone thought that she was the best choice for the queen, but for so many years, even if Kangxi favored her, he never had the intention of being the queen, and everyone was used to the situation of no queen in the middle palace.

Unexpectedly, Kangxi suddenly told the world that he wanted to be the queen, which really caught people off guard.

"See the queen mother, the queen mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Someone knelt down the mountain and shouted, Kangxi Chrysostom Yuyan, even if he said such words before the banquet, it can be seen that he really moved his mind, even if the post-sealing ceremony has not yet been held, it is already a sure thing.

"Get up!" Feng Li was also shocked by Kangxi's sudden announcement to the world, and he really didn't know what happened to Kangxi, Kangxi had never named her queen, not because he didn't want to, but for the stability of the world and the stability of the court, he couldn't do it.

Everyone said that she was born in Keerqin, and she was born in Keerqin, and she was the same as Xiaozhuang in Keerqin, but today's Qing Dynasty is no longer the Qing Dynasty of the past, and the Qing Dynasty in the past needed the help of Mongolia.

However, Feng Li's life was not at the right time, but she lived in the Qing Dynasty and had pacified the world, and it was the time to integrate the forces of all parties, she was born in the Mongolian Boerjigit clan, which was no longer her advantage, but her hard injury. It's a bruise she can't afford to be after.

The current Kangxi already has the blood of the Boerjigit clan in his body, but the emperor of the Qing Dynasty cannot produce a person with a closer bloodline of the Boerjigit clan. Just because for so many years, all the tribes of Mongolia have actually been quietly suppressed by Kangxi, although many princesses of the Qing Dynasty are married to Mongolia, but fewer and fewer Mongolians have real power and soldiers.

Kangxi's actions were not made overnight, although they were done obscurely, but how could no one see it, but they couldn't openly oppose Kangxi, secretly, from the fact that Mongolian women were sent to the court in the general elections every three years, they still hope to have a few more elder brothers with the blood of Aixin Jueluo and Boerjigit, so that they can move in, and infiltrate into the court of the Qing Dynasty through the hands of that elder brother.

But they are smart, but since Kangxi ascended the throne, even Xiaozhuang, who was also from the Boerjigit clan, never thought that the women of the Boerjigit clan would have another elder brother, that is, to cut off the thoughts of those people from the root. Of course, it is also for the peace of the court, there are too many queens in the Boerzigit clan, and they have long been afraid of the court.

This is also why Xiaozhuang asked Fengli to drink infertility medicine back then, why wasn't she afraid, getting Kangxi's heart Fengli, will it shake Kangxi's heart in the end, if Kangxi is soft-hearted for a while, let Fengli give birth to a prince, but it is to make the world restless!

But as Xiaozhuang expected, Kangxi softened her heart, but what she didn't expect was that Fengli never cared about the power in the palace, let alone taught her children to participate in these disputes.

Yinren was abolished again, but at this time, Kangxi announced to the world on such a day and named her the queen. Could it be that Kangxi is dizzy?

Emperor Kangxi, who was secretly scolded by Feng Li and fainted, happily issued an edict at this time, ordering all princes, grandchildren, and descendants of the clan to come out to toast and distribute food to the old people. Help the elderly over 80 years old to drink in front of Emperor Kangxi to show their favor, and reward the elderly in other provinces with silver taels.

On 27 March, in front of the main gate of Changchun Garden, a wine banquet was set up to entertain seven ministers, officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners, and idle people over 90 years of age, 192 people over 80 years of age, and 1,394 people over 70 years of age. More than sixty-five people one thousand and twelve people, other courtesies as before.

On March 28, in front of the gate of Changchun Garden. Feng Li, who has taken the queen's golden seal, feasted on behalf of Kangxi for the old women of the Eight Banners over 70 years old, those over 90 years old sat in the palace gate, and those over 80 years old sat under the Dan Pier. The rest are outside the palace gates. After that, the feast ended. According to Fengli's rough statistics, there were more than 6,600 Manchu and Han elders attending the banquet, plus an unknown number of old women from the Eight Banners, there must be no less than 7,000 people.

Such a grand occasion made Fengli a few people who held the banquet tired enough, but after the banquet was dispersed, Kangxi ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare Fengli's post-sealing ceremony. This is not even the emptiness that allows Feng Li to take a breath and rest for a while.

"Your Majesty!" Feng Li was measuring the size of his clothes, and he was tired and wanted to lie down for a while. There was another call outside, but Feng Li leaned on the couch without moving. There was a sound of footsteps outside. Kangxi walked in.

Feng Li raised his eyes and glanced at him, Kangxi smiled and asked, "Tired?" ”

"The emperor also tends to be free, let's rest for a while!" Feng Li persuaded Kangxi, she was busy arranging the things behind, and it was not easy for Kangxi to greet people in front, and when she saw the black and blue under Kangxi's eyes, she also pulled Kangxi to lie down.

Kangxi took advantage of the situation and pulled Feng Li in his arms, his chin against Feng Li's forehead, "I've been too busy these days, I haven't had time to talk to Ah Li properly." ”

"The emperor is resting, and there is no hurry to say anything later." Feng Li was really not in a hurry, and only persuaded Kangxi to rest. Kangxi smiled, "I know that Ah is not in a hurry." In fact, Ah Li is still strange, why did I suddenly want to make Ah Li the queen, right? ”

Feng Li did not deny this, seeing that Kangxi had no intention of resting, Feng Li couldn't, "Can the emperor solve my doubts?" ”

"Why not." Kangxi opened his mouth faintly, "I always thought that I gave Ah Li a sole favor, and when I treated Ah Li, it was just a position for a wife, which was dispensable." However, I am over sixty years old, and only my queen can speak with me in the future. Now, the DPRK and China are in chaos, and the Mongolian forces have been cleaned up, and I am not afraid that someone will take advantage of Ah Li to make waves, so I can no longer be wronged Ah Li. ”

Feng Li looked up at Kangxi, Kangxi had nothing to say. Sure enough, Kangxi continued: "Ah Li may promise me an afterlife? In this life, Ah Li has suffered so many grievances, I want to be in the next life, in exchange for me to spoil Ah Li, let Ah Li, only Ah Li is alone. ”

Afterlife? Fengli didn't know, why did Kangxi talk about it like this? "Does the emperor believe in the afterlife?"

Why don't you believe it? So many people, as well as Ah Li, are all people who have experienced it from the afterlife, doesn't Ah Li believe it? Kangxi asked rhetorically. Let Feng leave for a while, yes, even now, after living in Daqing for forty years, she still doesn't believe in the past and this life, what is destined.

"Ah Li, I'm already old, and I don't want to admit it, but I'm really old." Kangxi's hand, holding Fengli's hand, compared to Fengli's whiteness, Kangxi's hand has been wrinkled, although it is not obvious, but compared with Fengli's smooth skin, it is extraordinarily stabbing Kangxi's eyes.

Feng Li said: "I always promise the emperor that I will live and die with the emperor." ”

Living and dying together, it is also considered to be the love of their life, although it was a bad fate from the beginning, but for so many years, her heart fell uncontrollably on Kangxi's body, with her temperament, she recognized it, and Kangxi also treated her with deep affection, and died with him, Fengli did not feel wronged.

"The emperor asked me to promise to come to life, but I didn't want to. I gave the emperor in this life, mostly because I couldn't help myself, the emperor treated me well, but it was not very good, what I wanted, and this deep palace compound, but there is nothing to do with it, I entered here by mistake, and I couldn't struggle anymore, and finally lost my body and lost my heart. The stupidest thing I did in my life was to fall in love with you, lose my dignity for this, and let others trample on you. The emperor said that he would spoil me in the next life, and I was the only one, but the emperor, there really is an afterlife, the emperor is the emperor in this life, and in the next life, with the merits accumulated by the emperor, how can he be a mortal? But what I want is just ordinary days. Although, I've never gotten it," Feng Li said softly. But this sentence and sentence are all knocked on Kangxi's heart, Feng Li doesn't say it, either she doesn't complain or doesn't care.

It's just that she is too smart and understands too clearly, and she knows that he can't give her what she wants, so she doesn't ask for more. The more Kangxi thought about it, the more his heart hurt, and he couldn't breathe.

"I can't make it up now?" Kangxi still wanted to argue with reason, Feng Li shook his head, "The emperor is actually very clear, I am the most can't rub sand in my eyes, and now I am not really me, just back then I was calculated by the imperial concubine and the queen mother, and the queen mother, the queen mother wants me to ** the emperor, the queen mother wants me to ** in the children of the Eight Banners, if I really rely on my temperament that night, dare to calculate my people, even if I would rather be broken than broken, I don't want the emperor to touch me." ”

Looking at Kangxi, Feng Li continued: "Not to mention that over the years, the emperor has used all kinds of means to keep me in the palace. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor knew that he had never touched anyone next to him again, I was afraid that I would have been unable to bear it and let the Qing Dynasty change to an emperor. ”

This is the truth, and it is all what Fengli really thinks. If it weren't for Kangxi like this, if she wanted her to be rich, she would never be emotionally emotional about Kangxi. As an emperor, it is reasonable and legal to have many women, he always gave up the women of the world for her, and only guarded her alone, and it was for this reason that Feng Li slowly opened his heart, and in the end, Kangxi was willing to die with her, which was what really made Feng Li open his heart to Kangxi.

"It's just a day like this, it's just a matter of one time, you can be forgiven if you are stupid once, if you are stupid twice, three times, but there is no cure. I don't want to endure it for the emperor like this, let it go. The last sentence didn't make Kangxi feel distressed and helpless.

"Actually, even if there is really an afterlife, how does the emperor know that he can meet me? In fact, I have always felt that people should live in the present, grasp what they have now, cherish what is around you, and what will happen in the future is too slim, who can know? Feng Li was still a little unbearable after all, and seeing that Kangxi was a little pitiful, he still persuaded him.

"It's my demon barrier, Ah Li is willing to accompany me now, I should live such a good life, who knows what will happen in the future. Only Ah Li, side by side with me in the future, no one dares to say it. Kangxi kissed Feng Li on the forehead and smiled. (To be continued......)
