Chapter 6 Meet Kangxi
As mentioned earlier, Kangxi wants to listen to the master's lecture, who is this master? This is going to talk about the famous Shunzhi monk in history.
In the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, Concubine Dong E gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor, and the Shunzhi Emperor was very happy and prepared to be the crown prince to inherit the throne. Who knows, the fourth son of the emperor died soon. For this reason, Concubine Dong E was heartbroken and died of illness in Chengqian Palace at the age of 22.
For the death of Concubine Dong E, Emperor Shunzhi was grief-stricken. He personally wrote the eulogy of "Dong Ehou's Behavior". On September 9, according to Concubine Dong E's last words, Shunzhi asked the then famous monk Yinxi to cremate Concubine Dong in accordance with the Buddhist funeral rites.
After the death of Concubine Dong E, Emperor Shunzhi was extremely sad, so he had the idea of becoming a monk. So after the funeral of Concubine Dong E, Emperor Shunzhi asked the monk Yinxi, who cremated Concubine Dong E, to shave his hair. After the news of Emperor Shunzhi's fall spread, Monk Yulin, the master of Monk Yinxi, was shocked. On the one hand, he dissuaded Shunzhi from becoming a monk, and on the other hand, he gathered disciples and threatened to burn Yinxi. Under these circumstances, Emperor Shunzhi canceled the idea of becoming a monk.
However, Emperor Shunzhi fell ill with smallpox again, and died of illness in the palace in the first month of the eighteenth year of Shunzhi in the following year. It has been less than half a year since Concubine Dong E's death. Before he died, after his death, like Concubine Dong E, he asked the monk of Yinxi to be cremated. So, 100 days after Shunzhi's death, Shunzhi's body was also cremated in front of the Jingshan Shouhuang Palace. The ashes of Emperor Shunzhi and Concubine Dong E were buried together in the filial piety tomb of the Qing Dongling in Zunhua County, Hebei Province in the second year of Kangxi.
And the master of the previous article is the monk Yinxi. Because he shaved Emperor Shunzhi, he was disgusted and expelled by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and later went to Wutai Mountain to practice. Later, Kangxi missed his late father, secretly ordered him to return to Beijing, and assumed the pseudonym of Monk Huizhen. Kangxi came this time because his children in the palace died frequently, and only his sister-in-law Chenghu was still there, but his body was also sick and weak. For this reason, Kangxi couldn't bear it, because Emperor Shunzhi was close to the monk of Yinxi, and Kangxi often came to talk to him. Moreover, the monk of Yinxi is quite knowledgeable about people's skills, and Kangxi is very respectful.
Kangxi came to the outside of the Huizhen monk and found him lecturing with a lady, so he went to the quiet room next to him and waited.
After waiting for a while, Monk Huizhen came to the quiet room and hurriedly pleaded guilty: "The old man has seen the emperor, and the emperor forgives the sins and failed to greet him." And made a Buddha salute.
Kangxi hurriedly stepped forward, "I didn't tell me in advance, it's not the master's fault, it's my rudeness." Kangxi motioned to Liang Jiugong to pour tea.
The two sat down, and Kangxi and Monk Huizhen talked about some of the Buddhism that Huizhen had recently studied. After talking, Kangxi's tone changed, "Monk, it's rare for you to see pilgrims, I don't know what special this lady is?" ”
Monk Huizhen smiled when he heard this: "This lady is blessed with a deep fate and has a fate with my Buddha." ”
"Is it possible that you want to help people become monks?" Kangxi seemed to be smiling. If there is anything that can't be said between Kangxi and Huizhen, there is only the item of becoming a monk. Monk Huizhen also knew, so he didn't mention it much. It's just that this lady has some connection with the emperor.
Monk Huizhen said: "No, but this lady has something to do with the saint." ”
"Huh? I don't know what it is related to. Kangxi wondered.
"I wonder if the Holy Lord has seen a girl before," Monk Huizhen asked.
"I did see a brother and sister just now, what does that have to do with them?" Kangxi asked.
"This woman has a relationship with the emperor, that lady is the mother of this woman, just now the old man saw that the female benefactor has a good face and a long life, and there is no worry, although there was a catastrophe before, but she has passed this catastrophe, and then it must be a smooth journey." Hui Zhen said to Kangxi.
"Monk Huizhen is clear, I don't know what her relationship is with you?" Kangxi put down the teacup in his hand.
"No, this female benefactor has a lot to do with the emperor because she survived the emperor's death." Monk Huizhen's face was mysterious, which made Kangxi a little confused.
"You're saying that she was supposed to die, but she lived because of me." Kangxi was a little interested. He never thought that anyone would live because of him.
"The female benefactor Lao Gon has seen her, when I saw her a lonely life, her parents died early, and she had no children" Monk Huizhen sighed with some emotion, how wonderful the number of lives is.
"And what about her now?" Kangxi was a little interested and asked.
"Now this female benefactor must have a worry-free life," Hui Zhen said with a smile.
Monk Huizhen was a little emotional, in fact, what he didn't say was that this female benefactor was a phoenix! But he wasn't ready to tell Kangxi. He has revealed too much today, and it is not appropriate to reveal the heavenly secrets.
Kangxi didn't think about it so much, after all, the queen is still there, and Qin Tianjian, who can be a concubine, said that they have a good life. It's just that Hui Zhen's words are more trusting.
Kangxi put it aside in his heart, and then talked about Buddhism with Huizhen.
Besides, Yun Yao is here, Yun Yao and Ling Zhu went to pick up Ma Jia's just now, and when they saw that Huizhen monk, Yun Yao knew that today's matter had been successful.
This matter has to start from the beginning, before Yun Yao knew that he could meet Kangxi in the temple this time, because Ma Jia's family met Kangxi in the previous life, and was ordered by the monk Huizhen to say that the blessing is deep and there is a blessing. left a good impression on Kangxi.
This is not wrong, after all, there is no history of Yun Yao, Qianlong posthumously named the great-ancestor of Empress Xiao Shengxian, Eyiteng, and his grandfather Wu Lu as first-class dukes. Their wife was posthumously named Mrs. Yipin. Ling Zhu, sealed as a first-class duke. Ling Zhu's wife, Mrs. Feng Yipin. Hereditary replacement. Ma Jia's will also be a good fortune in the future.
It's just that I don't know who revealed it in the thirteenth year of Kangxi, which made Yun Yao be infected with smallpox in the draft that year and prevented Yun Yao from entering the palace. Even if Yun Yao entered the palace later, there were still many people who suppressed their family. After all, no one wants to be in more than one family. It's just a little more convergent.
Yun Yao's purpose in coming to the Buddhist Temple was also to verify this matter. It's just that Yun Yao didn't know that she had an extra surprise after she came, and the monk also said her life, which made the emperor have a good impression of her. Later, the road to the harem was also much smoother.
This is also the purpose for Yun Yao to participate in this draft and enter the palace, after all, there are too many variables to delay for another three years. If it is like the previous life, it is likely that they will be suppressed by other families, and after entering the palace, according to the unspoken rules, they cannot suppress the Niu Hulu family at will.
When the news spread in the last life, because there were many nobles from the Eight Banners who entered the palace in the thirteenth year of Kangxi, the Yun Yao family became the target of public criticism. In the twelfth year of Kangxi, the death of Niu Bilong greatly hurt the vitality of the Niu Hulu family, after the death of the Niu Bilong, the half-brother Faka of the concubine Niu Hulu in the palace competed for the title with his sister-in-law A Ling'a, and the various branches of the Niu Hulu family had no leader and were attached to each other, and the Wu Lu brothers were embarrassed and the two were not close. So they also easily suppressed Wu Lu and their careers.
It was also because of this that Yun Yao was targeted by almost all the concubines of the Eight Banners when she entered the palace, and she was even more suppressed later.
Yun Yao has always suspected that there will be a Qing Wear Girl and a Reborn Girl later. Because during the Kangxi period, the Yun Yao family was only a four-grade official. In addition to knowing who will target their family so much in the future, and the illness when she lost her memory also made Yun Yao unable to figure out the key.
