Chapter 263: Yinzhen succeeds to the throne
The sky has just dawned, and there is already a cry in the side hall of the palace, and the princes and ministers have hurried here from the Beijing Division, and the third elder brother Yinzhi, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, the fifth elder brother Yinqi, the seventh elder brother Yinyou, the eighth elder brother Yinzhen, the ninth elder brother Yinzhen, the tenth elder brother Yinyu and other young elder brothers also knelt on the ground together.
Although everyone has been crying, they are also thinking about the future candidate for the new monarch, but their hearts are like scratching with cat's paws, which is really unpeaceful. After all, the new monarch succeeds to the throne, which can change everyone's situation.
"Huang Ama...... Did Huang Ama say anything before he left? Ninth Elder Brother Yinyu took the lead, staring at Kangxi's personal eunuch Wei Zhu with red eyes, and asked viciously.
Strictly speaking, Wei Zhu can actually be regarded as a member of the Eight Masters Party, but in this matter, he did not pass any news to the Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi, nor did he help the Eighth Master Party on the matter of seizing the heir, but because of this, he was grabbed by Yinyu.
Wei Zhu sobbed as he knelt on the ground and chanted, "Your Majesty...... Before the emperor's trip, he didn't say anything. It was only to leave an edict to Scholar Ma Qi and Zhang Shilang to determine the position of the new monarch. ”
Ma Qi saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, and then said: "That's right, now the edict has been brought by me and Hengchen, just wait for this matter to be completed, so that it is convenient for the main hall to announce the edict." ”
As soon as they heard that the edict was about to be announced, everyone's breath couldn't help but tighten a little, this is the biggest gift package in the world...... No matter who inherits the unification, it seems to be extremely rare for the participants, and even Yinzhen's heartbeat at this time can't help but speed up a little.
Ma Qi saw the demeanor of the elder brothers, but he secretly sighed in his heart, this heavenly family is extremely noble, but this father and son brothers are fighting for life and death, it is too cruel, it is not as warm as an ordinary people's home.
Of course, these words can only be thought about in the heart, and the mouth must not show the slightest bit. And once the emperor returns to the sea, the next thing, how to deal with it, is currently all on the shoulders of his scholar.
The brothers cried for a while, and then went to the main hall together, knelt in a ball as usual, and began to wait for Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu to read the edict.
I saw that Zhang Tingyu opened a sealed box, removed the imperial lacquer on it, and took out a volume of edicts from it, and then took out the edict sent to the cabinet before, and confirmed each other with Ma Qi to show accuracy.
The princes and princes and ministers who were kneeling were crying again at the moment, some grabbed the ground with their heads, some wailed, and some even wanted to draw their swords and kill themselves to follow the emperor, but they were just stopped by the people on the side.
After the farce in this hall was completely over, Zhang Tingyu cleared his throat and began to read the words on the edict slowly.
"I am seventy years old today, and I have reigned for sixty-one years, and I really rely on the silent blessing of the Heaven and Earth Sect, and it is not the place of Liangde. Looking at the annals of history, since the Yellow Emperor Jiazi has been more than 4,350 years, a total of 301 emperors, and there are very few people who have reigned for a long time. When I came to the throne for 20 years, I did not dare to reverse the forecast to 30 years, and when I was 30 years, I did not dare to reverse the prediction to 40 years, and now it is sixty-one years......."
The sound of frustration sounded in the hall, but no one else made a sound, and the big guy listened diligently, for fear of missing the most important part, that is, the question of the inheritance of the throne.
"All emperors have their own destiny, those who should enjoy the longevity examination cannot make them not enjoy the longevity examination, and those who should enjoy the peace cannot make them not enjoy the peace. However, he never killed a single person in his life, pacified the three feudatories, and swept away the northern Han Dynasty...... The sons and grandsons of Prince Li, the son of Emperor Taizu, are now safe, and if I can protect them after my death, I will also pass away peacefully. ”
When he read this, Zhang Tingyu deliberately paused slightly, which naturally couldn't escape everyone's ears, and they soon realized that the real drama was coming.
"Prince Yong's fourth son, Yinzhen, has a noble character, and he 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. ”
The mystery was revealed, and everyone didn't know what it was like in their hearts, the words Yinzhen, the fourth son of Prince Yong, smashed everyone kneeling into a daze, which seemed to be reasonable, but when they really heard it, it made people feel a little overwhelmed.
When the eighth elder brother heard Yinzhen, the fourth son of Prince Yong, his body directly slackened, and his mental head disappeared in an instant, as if he was visible to the naked eye, he aged rapidly, and the whole person was full of twilight.
At this time, Yinzhen threw his head forward and let out a wail, and he said with tears in his eyes: "Huang Ama, how can the sons and daughters afford this Qing Dynasty...... Huang Ama ....."
Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu bowed forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty! The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, please ascend the throne as soon as possible, so as to determine the society and calm the hearts of the people in the world! ”
Seeing that these two people fell to the ground, the others had to kneel down together to welcome the new monarch to the throne, as for the civil and military ministers of the Eight Masters Party, they were in panic all day long......
Yin Zhen's eyes were red, he wanted to cry, but he just couldn't shed it, so he had to blink his eyes a few times, squeeze out a few tears, and said: "Rank ministers, I am now burning inside, every inch is in chaos, everything is up to your ministers." ”
The next thing is very simple, everyone cried loudly, especially the ninth elder brother Yinyu and the tenth elder brother Yinyu, who cried very sadly, as if they wanted to vent their dissatisfaction in their hearts, and even cried while deliberately wailing: "Huang Ama, you can take our brothers away together..... If you're gone, we won't survive......"
Naturally, these words were also heard by Yinzhen in his ears, and his face turned black at the moment, how wrong it sounded, it was not easy to grasp, because this can be understood as excessive sadness, and it can also be understood as someone wanting to harm them. In the current Qing Dynasty, who else can harm these elder brothers, is it not clear that it is his fourth Yinzhen?
When the other ministers heard this, they immediately felt that something was wrong, and at this critical point, I was afraid that they would have to make trouble for a while, but if they continued to make trouble like this, the Qing Dynasty would really be over.
On the first day of the fourth month of the 61st year of Kangxi, white silk was hung inside and outside the Forbidden City at the same time, and civil and military officials and all the people were not allowed to have fun within 100 days, slaughtered within 49 days, and married within a month, which was called a national funeral.
Kangxi's corpse has been buried in the palace, covered with a dhara quilt made by Bai Lingzi, and a Sanskrit scripture quilt made of yellow satin and gold, and the five-color Sanskrit on it has been recited by the living Buddha and held a mantra.
According to the custom, after Kangxi's funeral, the coffin was parked in the Qianqing Palace, and it was blocked with a plain white silk canopy, which generally took 27 days, so this also means that Yinzhen's enthronement was placed on other halls. First of all, the ministers sacrificed to heaven and earth, Zongmiao, and Sheji, and Yinzhen wore decaying clothes to the Daxing Emperor before the banquet and knelt three times and bowed nine times, and only after the worship was over, he could ascend the throne.
In addition, Yinzhen has to live in Lu to guard the system, and after a hundred days, the imperial gate listens to the government, and the emperor's performance to the courtiers cannot be instructed with a red pen, but is changed to a blue pen, called "blue criticism", and the yamen of each ministry must also be stamped with a blue seal in order to show respect for the emperor.
However, Yinzhen's furnace-like temperament, I can't wait to start doing things immediately, how can I wait for a hundred days? For more than three months, the current Qing Dynasty really can't be delayed. In desperation, Yinzhen discussed with Ma Qi, Zhang Tingyu and others, shortened the days from 100 days to 27 days, and moved the imperial gate to the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, while guarding the spirit and handling government affairs.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The ministers knelt in front of Yinzhen, after three calls and nine buckles, Yinzhen really became the emperor, he looked at the ministers and princes below with satisfaction, and he didn't know why, but he remembered the Fuhan army in the south.
After I grasp the power, I must reform the old and make the new, and come to break my wrists with a group of rebels!
"Rank the ministers and workers are flat!"
University scholar Ma Qi immediately stood up, "Your Majesty, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he is just changing the Yuan system, and he also asks the emperor to show the name of the year." ”
With a slight look of pride on his face, Yin Zhen looked at the ministers below, and said in a deep voice: "The imperial examination is located before me, and I dare not forget it." One word takes the word "Yong" of Prince Yong, and the second word takes the positive on the plaque of Zhengda Guangming, so the year name is called Yongzheng, in order to show the meaning of Zhengda Guangming. This year, Kangxi will be 61 years old, and next year will be the first year of Yongzheng. ”
The ministers then knelt down three times and bowed nine times to show that they had changed the yuan and built a new one.
"I dare not live up to the legacy of the first emperor's examination, and draw up a list of amnesties in the world with the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, so as to show that I will not forget the benevolence of the first emperor."
"Oh, the emperor is benevolent, heaven and earth learn together." Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Dali Siqing immediately knelt down and received the will.
Yongzheng had a bit of solemnity on his face, and glanced at the eighth elder brother who was standing in the audience, because he Yinzhen succeeded to the throne as the emperor, the other brothers naturally could not continue to use this word, so everyone needed to change it to Yunzi.
"The first emperor entrusted the Qing Dynasty to my hands, and I really couldn't sleep day and night, so I need the cooperation of my ministers to rebuild the prestige of my Qing Dynasty."
"The thirteenth brother of the emperor, Yunxiang, has made outstanding merits, has made meritorious contributions, and has been named Prince Heshuoyi and served as the Minister of Parliament!"
"The Admiral of the Nine Gates, Long Ke, attacked the first-class duke and awarded the secretary of the ministry. His eldest son, Yue Xing Ajia, a first-class Ada Hahafan, and the second son Yuzhu, were awarded the Luan Honor Envoy by the guards. ”
After Yunxiang and Long Keduo heard the will, their faces showed joy, and they knelt down to receive the decree and thanked them. Although the ministers also looked at it, those who knew the inside story knew that if it weren't for the Thirteenth Elder Brother and the Nine Gate Admiral Long Keduo, Yinzhen wanted to succeed to the throne, I am afraid it would be more than many twists and turns.
Only the original members of the Eight Masters Party were a little stupid at this time, of course they understood that in this battle for succession, they did not stand in the right position, let alone reward, but it was not bad to be able to keep their current position. However, some people still looked at Yun Xu, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, with a bit of hope in his eyes.
But after all, the tree fell and scattered, and after the general trend was gone, even Yun Yu didn't mean to speak, and the big guy naturally couldn't oppose anything, everything was going in the direction that Yongzheng envisioned.
It's just that Yongzheng also understands in his heart that the way of the emperor is to put balance first, and he has to give a sweet date to this stick, not to mention that the original Eight Masters Party is powerful and spreads all over the government and the opposition, and Yongzheng can't drive all these people out of the court at once, so division and reconciliation have become an inevitable way.
"Tejin Baylor Yunxi, Prince Yi Yunxiang, University Shi Ma Qi, and Shang Shu Long Keduo are all ministers of prime minister's affairs, handling the affairs of the first queen, so as to live up to the expectations of the world."
This is clearly giving Yun Xi a step down, and everyone looks at Yun Xu, and many gray hairs have appeared on his braids, looking old and sad. The former Eight Sage Kings have finally become a complete memory.
Yun Yu sighed silently in his heart, he left all pride and self-esteem behind and closed himself off.
"Minion Leader ......."
Dongnuan Pavilion, Yongzheng's face was smiling at this time, and Prince Yi Yunxiang sat opposite each other, and the two talked happily, but they didn't talk too much about the past, because for the past few decades, whether it was Yinzhen or Yunxiang, they were already very tired.
Endless intrigues, endless fights between you and me, the so-called Nine Dragons to seize the heir, but in the end, most of them ended dismally, but it was Yinzhen who suddenly rose up and won the emperor's throne in one fell swoop.
During the princely period, the relationship between Yinzhen and Yunxiang was excellent, but it was the fourteenth elder brother Yunzhen who was a fellow mother, but the relationship with Yinzhen was extremely poor, and Yunzhen was closer to the eighth elder brother Yunzhen, which made Yinzhen hate it all the time.
"Thirteenth brother, although you are a minister and I am a soldier, but the relationship between you and me is different, so you don't have to be too restrained in front of me in the future."
Yun Xiang sighed in his heart, he is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, the former sentence is me, and the latter sentence is me, isn't he still unclear about this intention? Obeying the duties of the monarch and the minister is the long-term way.
"The slave understands in his heart that the emperor is good to Thirteen, and it is Thirteen's convincing, but if Thirteen acts recklessly, it will be a blessing."
Yongzheng smiled with great satisfaction, but soon remembered the other brothers who were not fuel-efficient, and sighed: "If everyone can keep their duties like the thirteenth brother, why is my Qing world like this?" ”
Speaking of this, Yongzheng stood up, and Yunxiang hurriedly stood behind him when he saw this, waiting for Yongzheng to finish speaking.
"Now that I have given them a chance, as long as they are willing to seize it, I will not be too ruthless, but if they still want to have bad intentions, then stop blaming me for ignoring my brother's affection."
The words that Yongzheng spit out in a cold tone made Yun Xiang's heart sink slightly, of course he knew that the so-called 'they' were Babeile Yunyu, and Fuyuan General Yunyu.
Yun Xiang would never doubt that as long as his fourth brother couldn't bear it anymore, he would definitely do it.
