Chapter 521, Bilingual Edict of Succession
At the end of September of the twelfth year of Yongzheng, the emperor returned to the Forbidden City with the queen mother's concubine and children.
After returning to the palace, Yinzhen summoned the princes and ministers in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and announced: "The sons of me are still young, and the matter of establishing a prince must be carefully prudent." Today, I personally wrote a secret edict, hid it in the box, and put it behind the plaque of "Zhengda Guangming" in the Qianqing Palace, so as to be safe, and the kings and ministers should know it. β
Afterwards, he left his most trusted good brother Prince Yi Yunxiang alone, and ordered the eunuch Su Peisheng to take down the box behind the plaque, waved his hand back to the eunuch, and then opened the box in front of Yunxiang alone.
Yun Xiangcheng knelt down in fear, and didn't dare to look at it, "Since it is a secret reserve, the younger brother doesn't dare to look at it!" β
Yin Zhen sighed, "Although it is a secret reserve, you are the most trustworthy person I trust." I told you to know in advance, and I know in my heart that after I am a hundred years old, you will be in charge of the overall situation and take care of the crown prince for me as an imperial uncle. β
Yunxiang was afraid for a long time, but he still couldn't bear to refuse his brother, so he slowly stood up and looked at the two edicts.
The edict of the Lichu in both Manchu and Han languages, and the people who established it, were as Yunxiang expected.
Yun Xiang closed his eyes and said, "Brother Chen understands." The person written in the edict, the courtier's brother will rot in the stomach, please rest assured. β
Yin Zhen smiled: "It is precisely because of reassuring you that I let you know about this." β
Yun Xiang sighed in his heart, "Brother Huang's mind, have you told the queen mother to know?" β
Yin Zhen nodded, "Although I didn't say it explicitly, the queen also knew it." β
Yun Xiang couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "The queen mother is now in the middle of the palace, such a major event, with her presiding over it in the future, wouldn't it be justified to change the name?" β
Yin Zhen sighed sadly, "The queen phoenix is weak, and she is always afraid to walk in front of me. After thinking about it, I still have to add another layer of insurance. In the past dynasty, the only person I can trust with all my heart is you. "ββThe thirteenth brother is ten years younger than me, and he has not experienced the ordeal of beekeeping in this life, and he will definitely not die before me.
Yun Xiang was moved, "The younger brother will never live up to the trust of the imperial brother!" β
For a while, the brothers looked at each other, and the four burning gazes seemed to span the first half of the body, and they would also span the second half of their lives.
At this time, Su Peisheng, the chief eunuch, reported outside the door of the warm pavilion: "Long live the master, the master is here." β
After returning to the Forbidden City, Yao Jiaxin settled a few cubs in the elder brother's house, and came over with a food box to comfort His Majesty the fourth master.
The Qianqing Palace is different from the Heart Cultivation Palace, it is not so taboo, and she is now the queen, so she naturally comes and goes unhindered.
When I walked into the warm pavilion, I found that there was not even a servant here, only His Majesty the Fourth Master and the Thirteenth Master Yunxiang. What are the two big men doing in the same room?
Yao Jiaxin glanced at the box on the table and two edicts, one in Chinese and one in Manchu, the Chinese part was also very difficult to understand, but she could barely understand it, as for the Manchu one, Yao Jiaxin looked at it like a mosquito coil.
Yao Jiaxin hurriedly squatted: "The emperor is blessed." β
Yun Xiang hurriedly called Qian'er, "Brother please give the queen mother." β
Yao Jiaxin glanced at the legendary Thirteenth Master...... Yun Xiang, who has not experienced the pain of beekeeping, looks at his ruddy face and his body is very tough.
It seems that His Majesty the Fourth Master has entrusted the secret of the secret of the Thirteenth Master to the Thirteenth Master, and Yao Jiaxin was suddenly relieved. She smiled, bowing slightly.
Yin Zhen also smiled slightly, "Now, the queen can rest assured." β
Yao Jiaxin, the character of the thirteenth master, is too reassuring.
Yun Xiang looked at his nose and nose, and arched his hand: "If the imperial brother has no other instructions, the younger brother will retire first." After all, the queen is here, and as a little uncle, she should avoid suspicion.
Yin Zhen bowed, "You can go." β
After Yunxiang retreated, Yao Jiaxin finally couldn't hold back and asked, "What edict is there two copies?" β
Yin Zhen was speechless for a moment, and said with a dark face: "The ancestral system of this dynasty has always been like this!" β
Yao Jiaxin laughed, and suddenly she remembered the rumors of Yongzheng's "usurpation of the throne", saying that Kangxi Ye actually established the fourteenth, and it was Yongzheng who changed the "fourteenth elder brother" to "the fourth elder brother".
Now it seems that it is really nonsense!
Passing on the Zhaoshu, the special drop is bilingual~!
And...... Yao Jiaxin squinted her eyes and glanced at the Chinese edict, and the last sentence read: The sixth son of the emperor, Hongxu, is the crown prince.
Therefore, Kangxi's succession Zhaoshu should also be "passed on to Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor", and it is impossible to add a pen to modify it!
"See, right?" Yin Zhen glanced at Yao Jiaxin lightly, "I understand that I will seal it, and it will not be opened again until a hundred years later." β
Yao Jiaxin said weakly: "I understand the edict in Chinese, and the Manchu ...... Kindness...... I don't understand. β
Yin Zhen's calm dragon face was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were round: "Tian'er, you are also a Manchurian, you can't read Manchu text?!" β
Yao Jiaxin looked embarrassed with a capital letter, "These years, the Manchu people don't learn much Manchu literature, so it's good to fight?" They all speak Chinese, only those who are from the big families are still learning......" - looking at the twisted Manchu text comparable to an alien script, she was dizzy when she looked at it, this kind of script doesn't have much point in learning, right? The thought of her cubs having to learn one more language at a young age reminded her of the years of learning English, what a waste of time!
Oh, by the way, the brothers will not only learn Manchu Chinese, but also Mongolian and even Tibetan in the future!
Four languages! Is this something that humans can learn?
Forehead...... It seems that His Majesty the Fourth Master is proficient in four languages: Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan and Chinese.
Yao Jiaxin suddenly noticed that His Majesty the Fourth Master's face was extremely ugly, and she hurriedly said: "That, I'm a woman, it's okay if I can't speak Manchu, right?" β
Yin Zhen glared at her angrily: "What nonsense! You are the queen of the Qing Dynasty, how can you not speak Manchu?! From now on, learn Manchu for me! β
"Huh?!" It's the end of the world!
Ma Dan, when she learned English, she wanted to vomit! In college, she even cheated on the fourth level to pass! She doesn't have a talent for languages!
In an instant, Yao Jiaxin was about to cry, "Why do I want to learn Manchu...... "This thing is useless, right?"
Yin Zhen snorted coldly: "You are the queen, you have to issue a decree to canonize Mrs. Xuan, and you must write the decree in Chinese and Manchu!" β
Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but mutter: "Even if you make an edict, then someone will draft it, right?" I don't have to do it myself. "What does it matter if you don't recognize Manchu? Just be able to stamp it!
Yin Zhen's face was extremely dark, "That's not good!" The dignified queen, how can she not speak Manchu? You have to learn Manchu well, if you don't learn it well, you won't be allowed to ride a horse! β
At this moment, Yinzhen couldn't help but praise his wisdom and decisiveness.
Yao Jiaxin's eyes were dark, almost soft on the ground, I'll it, this is a language, where is it so easy to learn? In her previous life, she had studied English for so many years, but she had never learned it. How could she learn this Manchu language well?
Won't she be able to ride a horse for the rest of her life?
Yao Jiaxin gritted her teeth, pounced directly, and pounced on her waist to hug His Majesty the Fourth Master, "Don't want the Fourth Master!" β
