So Kangxi easily accepted Tuhai's proposal, but Kangxi was worried that once he broke with the Empress Dowager, he would be greatly impacted in the court. This is not alarmist, but factual. The Empress Dowager has a high status as Kangxi's elder, even if she does not listen to the government, the Empress Dowager's influence in the court is not ordinary. The Empress Dowager supported the young emperor twice to ascend to the throne, and experienced changes in the political situation of the three dynasties, not to mention how much the Empress Dowager's tested political skills would make Kangxi, a newcomer, suffer.

It is only said that the Empress Dowager represents the power of Mongolia and some clans in the court, although Mongolia's status has declined at this time, and it has gradually withdrawn from the center of power in the court, but the Empress Dowager's business in the court for so many years is still not to be underestimated.

And today's Kangxi is not the Emperor of the Qing Shengzu who can decide anything in the court later, and now he has just been in power for a few years, and he only shows his existence in front of the courtiers in the matter of worship. And those clans and families in the DPRK did not take Kangxi in their eyes, this is not because they have any unspeakable thoughts, but the Qing Dynasty was originally a minority to enter the customs, and the tradition of the Qing Dynasty has always been to respect the strong before entering the customs. Although Kangxi ascended the throne, as a young lord, Kangxi could not convince these old ministers, if it were not for the empress dowager to turn the tide, Kangxi might not be able to gain a firm foothold in the court. Of course, this is also the reason why Kangxi launched wars one after another in the future, and the war allowed Kangxi to obtain enough capital and convince his ministers.

Tu Hai's suggestion can greatly ease the relationship with the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has been based in the harem for many years, if he is forced to be urgent, Kangxi will not be able to get any benefits.

Kangxi thought of the meaning in Tuhai's words before, so he asked, "What do the two holy decrees that Aiqing said?" Aiqing, don't you only have one holy decree left in your hand? ”

Tu Hai replied: "Enlightening the Holy Heaven, the Empress Dowager thinks that it is two holy decrees, so you must give the Empress Dowager two holy decrees." Tu Haishen babbled to Kangxi words that people couldn't understand.

However, Kangxi immediately understood what Tuhai meant, the Empress Dowager thought that Tuhai still had a holy decree in her hand that threatened her, if she told the Empress Dowager that there was no such decree, the Empress Dowager would definitely not believe it, so it was better to simply give the Empress Dowager a fake decree, on the one hand, let the Empress Dowager rest assured that he had destroyed this holy decree and would not turn over the old things in the future and show favor to the Empress Dowager. On the other hand, if Tu Hai only has this holy decree in her hand, the Empress Dowager will not regret it, because as long as there is no threat, the Empress Dowager is not afraid of Tu Hai at all, and doing so is also to beat a stick and give a sweet date. Without the threat of the Holy Decree before, the Empress Dowager would not be calm now.

Thinking of these benefits, Kangxi admired Tuhai, the old fox, and Tuhai's actions today also made Kangxi completely relieved. Kangxi also regarded Tuhai as his own.

said: "Aiqing should have celebrated for Concubine Zhao today, but it is my sin to let Aiqing come today." Does Aiqing have any requirements? "Yun Yao can be called Zhao Concubine since she received the holy decree, which is why Tu Hai saluted Yun Yao as soon as the decree was announced. And this is also the reason why Kangxi called Yun Yao Zhao Concubine so early.

When Tu Hai heard this, he was right in the middle and said: "The old minister is asking for something, please ask the emperor to change the title of Zhao Concubine Niangniang, I'm afraid this Zhao Niangniang can't afford it." "Tu Hai actually discovered the problem since he saw the holy decree, as a rare civil servant among the Manchus, Tu Hai didn't know the meaning of the word Zhao.

Tuhai's words are not wrong, the word Zhao itself is a good word, Zhao, Riming also. - "Sayings", Zhuo Biyun Han, Zhao Hui Yutian. - "Poetry, Daya, Yunhan", youth is thanked, and the sun is shining. - "Chu Ci - Big Move".

It is also because of this that the emperors of the past dynasties often used the word Zhao as a nickname, and those who did Emperor Zhao in history generally had a good reputation, such as Emperor Liu Fuling of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaozhao of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Gaochi of the Ming Dynasty, and so on.

But it's not a good thing that this title is too good, just like the queen mother's sister was named Concubine Chen, which caused a sensation in the harem of the former dynasty at that time, and then was seen by everyone, who didn't treat her as a thorn in the eye.

And the word Zhao is not as explicit as the word Chen, which means the emperor, but the word Zhao can be used as the emperor's nickname or even a beautiful name, which is enough to explain the weight of this word. Tu Hai can imagine that this holy decree will be passed out, and I am afraid that even the Empress Dowager may not be satisfied.

Kangxi was a little afraid to speak when he heard Tu Hai's request, but Kangxi was a little scratching his head when he made the decree for Yun Yao's title, and then he finally thought of a Zhao word, and felt that this word was very good, so he gave Yun Yao such a title.

Kangxi scratched his head a little for the title of the concubine, this is not a lie, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the rules of the harem were a little unclear, most of them were inherited from the Ming Dynasty. At this time, there were only one queen and one concubine in the high-ranking position of Kangxi Palace, and Concubine Niu Hulu did not have a title. So when Kangxi named Yun Yao as a concubine again, he wanted to give her another title to show his attention, but the establishment of the Qing Dynasty was too short and there was no example to be found, so Kangxi thought of a word with a better meaning, and chose the word Zhao.

Kangxi didn't think so far-reaching at that time, because the word Zhao was not only used as the emperor's nickname, but also as the queen's nickname or the title of the courtiers. In other words, this word is more commonly used.

But this title is a bit unauthentic as a title for a living person. Yun Yao is not a scholar who is proficient in history, so he does not know the taboo of this Zhaozi. The emperors who used the word Zhao as their nickname have a common feature that their reign is very short, and the most illustrative is that Zhu Gaochi, the emperor of Zhao in the Ming Dynasty, only had less than a year. There is also Empress Wen Zhaozhen, and even the people in the courtiers who are named Wen Zhaogong have a very short lifespan.

And this incident is not a coincidence, because the nicknames are used by later generations to evaluate the ancestors, so later generations often use the nicknames to express a certain meaning, and the word Zhao represents that this person has a good reputation, that is, he died young! I have to say that the Chinese language is really broad and profound, and it is really strange that such a good title on the surface of Zhaozi secretly represents such an unlucky meaning.

Moreover, in history, Kangxi named Concubine Niu Hulu as Empress Xiaozhaoren, and it cannot be said that there is no reason for this.

And Kangxi also thought of this problem after sending out the holy decree, but he just felt that the title of a concubine should be nothing, but now Tuhai Xingshi's questioning made Kangxi a little embarrassed.

However, although Tuhai said so, he didn't have to change Kangxi's title, after all, how could he immediately change the holy decree before he just issued the decree! It's just that this time I woke up in front of Kangxi, which also meant to be close.

Tu Hai said: "The old minister thanked the emperor for my niece, and I can only live up to the love of the saint." ”

Kangxi was also relieved to see Tu Hai say this, after all, Kangxi just accepted Tu Hai's kindness, how can he turn his face now, but what Tu Hai said Kangxi also felt that what he did was not authentic, so he thought about waiting until Zhao Concubine entered the palace to make up for it.
