Chapter 163: Xuan Ye ascends the throne

Smallpox is a terrible disease that makes Manchurians talk about tigers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoOnce you have smallpox, it is as expensive as a prince, and it is also difficult to resist, so far about 12 out of 10 people who have survived from smallpox, and most of the rest have died here. What does it mean that the young emperor of the Qing Dynasty contracted smallpox, and that the emperor is likely to die of illness.

The Qing Dynasty lost the south, lost the northwest, and the Central Plains was also in danger, what did the death of the emperor mean to the Qing Dynasty at this time?

Is it really the end times?

The civil and military officials were shocked by the news of the emperor's pox, and everyone changed color. The back left door was as silent as ice, and only the heavy breathing of the hundred officials remained.

Prince Kang Jieshu came forward to let the hundred officials disperse, and Wenwu left the palace gate silently with panic and apprehension. Along the way, there were countless large and small sedan chairs, but no one said a word. But the hearts of the people in the sedan chair have changed a thousand times.

After the decree was issued, in the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was sitting on the couch. Her complexion was extremely tired and haggard, her eyes were already red and swollen, and she sat on the couch with her hands on her forehead, and sobbed softly from time to time. Standing on the side, Su Malagu wiped her tears by herself, and did not forget to put on a dark blue mink cloak for the Queen Mother. When the cloak was draped on the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother didn't realize it, which made Su Ma even more sad.

The main hall of Cining Palace is empty and deserted, and although there are several fires, it is still much colder than the sleeping palace.

Although Yi Zhi granted amnesty to the world, he also officially notified the world of the emperor's illness, and the people were not allowed to fry beans, but whether it was the Queen Mother or Su Ma, they all knew that it was too late. The emperor's illness is so serious, at this moment, I am afraid that the gods will not be able to save him.

The master and servant were so quiet there, and the hall was so quiet that they could hear a needle on the ground.

After a long time, the chief eunuch of Cining Palace hurriedly entered the hall and whispered a few words to Su Ma, and Su Ma's body trembled slightly after hearing this. She looked at the Queen Mother painfully, gritted her teeth and stepped forward and said softly: "Queen Mother, the emperor has declared a bachelor." ā€

The queen mother's body also trembled, half ringing, two tears flowed from her eyes, and she murmured: "Fulin is going to draft an edict, he is going to draft a testament..."

.....

As soon as Wang Xi, the head of the Hanlin Academy, returned to the house from the back left door, the palace attendant came to preach, and he was hurriedly summoned to the Heart Cultivation Palace. After more than two months, Wang Xi met the emperor for the first time. At this time, Shunzhi was already hot, his face was scarlet, and his face and body were also covered with chickenpox, many of which had ulcerated pus, which made people look very terrible.

Wang Xi only glanced at it, and he was so shocked that he fell to his knees in fright.

Shunzhi is already extremely weak, but his consciousness is still very clear. He lay on the couch and said to Wang Xi who was kneeling in front of the couch in a weak voice: "I am suffering from pox, and I can't afford it." You listen carefully to what I say, and write an edict quickly. ā€

Wang Xi held back the horror in his heart, and was about to agree, and listened to Shunzhi again: "Take pen and ink, and write in front of me." ā€

"Wow!"

The appearance of the emperor made Wang Xi feel that the five were devastated, the tears could not be stopped, the play was not an idiom, it was vague, and in the end, he couldn't cry.

Seeing Wang Xi like this, Fu Lin couldn't help but sigh: "How generous I treat you on weekdays, how detailed the precepts are. This has come to this point, and everything is certain. When the monarch and the minister meet, the fate is over, and there is no need to be so sad. And when has Encore postponed? ā€

The ministers in the house, Sonny and Sukh Saha, also urged Wang Xi to hurry up and draft the decree, apparently, the two of them had realized that the master was now probably using his last strength to explain the aftermath.

"Commandment."

Wang Xi reluctantly wiped away his tears, listened to Shunzhi's dictation, and wrote the first paragraph of the edict in front of the imperial bed.

Seeing that his master had difficulty speaking, Soni said, "In this way, the slave is afraid that the Holy Body will be overworked." Rong Wangxi received the master's face-to-face order, prepared it in detail, and presented it to the royal review. ā€

"It's fine."

Fu Lin nodded in agreement, the edict is his last posthumous matter, and it is also the last major event, and it cannot be rash. He motioned for Wang Xi to come closer, and explained the gist of the edict again, and Wang Xi went out of the palace to the west screen under the Qianqing Gate to write it. Wang Xi wrote a paragraph, then sent it to the Palace of Nourishing Heart, and read it three times, and after writing it, the sun had gradually set. Sukh Saha informed Wang Xi that the edict had been approved by the emperor, and that the emperor ordered Sonny and the scholar Bahana to hold the edict to inform the empress dowager, and then to proclaim the edict to the ministers of Wang Beile and the civil and military officials.

Wang Xi staggered out of the palace. The twilight faded, and the glorious palace gate shone with a bleak luster in the last ray of sunlight. Looking around Ouchi, there was no sound. Wang Xi felt sad and nameless in his heart, only to feel that the gust of north wind was even more piercing than the cold winter of Sanjiu!

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the yamen opened in advance, and the officials should finish washing at dawn and put on court clothes to enter the office. But their well-informed elders came back to tell that Tiananmen Square was opened and closed, and only the scholars, Jiuqing, and officials of the Ministry of Rites were sent to the court, and they took off their hats and hats when they entered the door, and the rest of the officials scattered home.

In the system of this dynasty, there are great funeral officials who take off their hats. Although the emperor is sick, he is rich in the spring and autumn, as for this big change? The lowly officials did not know the details and were uneasy in their hearts, so they inevitably went out to listen and interrogated each other when they met acquaintances, but no one had any definite news. Seeing that the inner and outer city gates were closed, the soldiers of the Eight Banners patrolled under martial law, and the pedestrians on the streets were lonely, and they were all frightened, and they all hurriedly retreated home and waited.

When Shen Zheng and the sun fell in the western sky, the Great Inner passed down the decree and called all the officials to bring the court clothes into the court, first go to the household to receive the plain silk, and then wait in front of the west pavilion of the Taihe Palace.

The news of the emperor's death is officially here.

At the time of the second watch, the queen mother and the imperial palace, the princes and nobles, civil and military officials, in accordance with the etiquette and position of the dynasty, knelt down to listen to the reading of the edict. His Majesty Dan and Dan Qi, each with a proclamation official reading aloud, gusts of north wind clearly delivered every word to everyone's ears: "I am a good person, and I will inherit the heir to Piji, and I will be in the eighteenth year." Since the pro-government, the discipline and law, the employment of administration, can not look up to the law Taizu, Taizong Mo Lie, follow the care, and the present, and gradually get used to the Han customs, in the simple old system, there are more and more every day, so that the national governance is not perfect, the people's livelihood is not successful, is my sin; Since I was weak, I met Emperor Taizong's guests, and I was taught and raised, but the Queen Mother was kind and nurtured, and she was extremely reckless, and she was not paid, and she tended to inherit it day and night, and hoped to do her filial piety. Today's unfortunate son will not end, and the sincerity will not end, and it is my sin ......"

In an extremely heavy tone, Shunzhi's edict listed his fourteen major sins, among which he roughly blamed himself for the friendship and lack of friendship among the kings; blamed himself for respecting the queen's funeral for being too much, overstepping the rules, and not being able to stop the love with courtesy; self-blame appointing eunuchs, resulting in cheating for personal gain, and so on. But one of the most important is to blame oneself for not being able to govern the country, so that the south of the Yangtze River is repeated, and the northwest is gained and lost.

After reading the fourteen major sins, the proclamation official's voice was a little hoarse, and he took a breath, and the last part of the edict was announced: "Taizu and Taizong have created a foundation, and the stakes are very important, and the heirs of Yuanliang cannot be empty for a long time." The third son, Xuanye, was born to Concubine Tong, Qi Yinghui, and Ke Chengzong. He is the crown prince, that is, he obeys the canonical system, holds the service for twenty days, and releases the emperor's throne. Ministers of the Interior Soni, Sukh Saha, Ao Bai and Tun Bai are auxiliary ministers. Yi and others are all old and important ministers, and I trust them with my heart. He is reluctant to be loyal, Bao Yi Chong is the master, adjudicates government affairs, proclamates Chinese and foreign countries, and makes Xian know about it. ā€

After the proclamation was completed, the proclamator solemnly announced: "In accordance with the decree of the Empress Dowager, the edict will be sent together with the mourning edict to promulgate the world!" ā€

When he heard the commandment, the ministers crouched and were silent. As soon as the proclamation was finished, the princes, ministers, civil and military officials, and hundreds of officials cried loudly. So in front of the Taihe Palace, the cry shook the sky, echoing the boiling cry of the harem, the earth shook the mountains, and the sun and stars shone brightly.

But in this howl, there are thousands of emotions, how many are true and how many are false, no one knows.

On the eighth day of the first month of the third year of Ming Dingwu (the eighteenth year of Shunzhi of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty), Shunzhi died in the Palace of Yangxin.

On the ninth day of the first month, the third son of the emperor, Xuanye, became the emperor.
