In full view, Zhang Tingyu, Ortai and the guards walked up the stairs with heavy steps to the top of the hall, and fixed a rosewood box with an iron hoop under the "Zhengda Guangming" plaque, and the guards took out the key and opened it, took out a small gold plaque as big as a heavy and shiny Go box, and solemnly handed it over to Zhang Tingyu.

Zhang Tingyu slowly came down, stood on the dan mound, swept his eyes, glanced at Ortai, and handed back the gold plaque. Almost at the same time, the two men each took out a golden key from their waists - there were two keyholes on the front of the gold plaque, and the two keys were gently rotated at the same time, and the spring "clicked", and the gold was already wide open. Inside, the yellow silk cover is bordered by gold threads, and the edict is laid flat. Zhang Tingyu carefully took out his hands and held them in his palms, let Ortai see them again, and said softly: "This is the Manchu and Han Hebi National Letters, please Egong first declare the Chinese language, and I will declare Chinese." ”

After speaking, he turned his face to several princes and said: "Now read out the edict of the emperor of Xiandaxing, and the ministers will kneel and listen!" ”

"Hooray!"

Manchu was designated as a Chinese language in the Qing Dynasty, and Manchus who did not understand Manchu could not enter the study. However, today, the Manchu diet language has long been sinicized, and there are few people who speak Manchu like morning stars. Several princes listened to Orshan's grunt, and they were all at a loss, but Hongli bowed his head and knocked repeatedly, and he didn't know what to say in Manchu. Sounds plausible, but it seems to be a gratitude. Zhang Tingyu saw that everyone was just kowtowing in confusion, so he took the edict and recited:

Fengtian carries the emperor's edict: the fourth son of the emperor, Hongli Longri, the heavenly watch, is valuable and can be a king. That is, the heirs of Hongli inherited the throne and succeeded Pixu of the Qing Dynasty. Chin this! Yongzheng first year in August in the Huanyu book.

This time, everyone really heard it clearly, and they leaned over and kowtowed in unison and said, "The ministers obey the orders of the first emperor!" ”

"A kingdom cannot be without a king for a day." Zhang Tingyu listened to the edicts of the kings, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart, and said slowly, "The first emperor's imperial body has not yet entered Zifeng'an, so please ask Prince Bao to ascend the throne and preside over all major policies." After that, he and Ortai stepped forward together, and one of them raised a wailing and cried Hongli who could not stand on the ground.

Less leaning, the Qianqing Palace will be busy making a mess. It didn't take long for the steps to cry loudly. For a moment, the howl shook the sky.

-- The death of the emperor is called "the collapse of the heavens and the earth", and those who are courtiers should be regarded as "like mourning and examining", and the emphasis is on "wailing and wailing". The so-called "dispelling", "heart for refuting, jumping for divine", that is, beating the chest and stoning, and mourning with all your might. During this period of time, even if he was in charge of important tasks, such as presiding over the handling of the 'Great Funeral', formulating various wills, proclamations, and the temple number and nickname of the Emperor Daxing to be used in the "Great Funeral", most of the time had to be spent on howling and mourning.

――――――――――――

The situation of that day rolled in Li Wei's mind, but the scene in the Xinghua Spring Pavilion could not be forgotten for a long time. Although Zhao Kun's words were vague and vague, they fell into the ears of him, an insider, like a thunderbolt from the sky.

In the past, Yongzheng was also shocked after seeing the silver hairpin. Therefore, before he died, he was specially summoned in the palace, and asked him in a low voice: "Dog, you are the old man in my mansion, you have always been clever and tight-mouthed." I have something to ask you, you have to think about it for me, and you have to give me an idea. ”

He told Qiao Yindi everything from beginning to end. When he was done, he said, "It's amazing how can there be such a coincidence in the world?" How can there be such two identical hairpins? It's just that Yindi's mother is also surnamed 'Hei', and Yindi's age coincides with this story! I'm really scared, what if ......," he shuddered, "what should I do?" ”

When Li Wei listened, his heart turned dozens of circles, and Yongzheng's words were not easy to answer! He didn't dare to follow this train of thought, but he had to think about this problem. After a long while, he said: "Qiao Hei has remarried, maybe Yindi is really surnamed Qiao?" ”

"Really, of course, everything. I'm afraid that she's ...... So what's the best thing to do? ”

"Hooray, the minions thought there wouldn't be such a thing. Have you forgotten that when we lived in the Heifeng Huangshui store, didn't the boss say that the eldest daughter of the Hei family was burned to death, but the younger daughter gave birth to a big fat boy? ”

"What if the boss is messing with us?"

Li Wei was really stumped. However, in the end, he was smart: "Master, the slave said something that I don't know the depths, you must not drill into the horns of the bull in this matter, and you can only pretend to be confused and not serious." The clearer you know, the more uncomfortable you will feel. You can't meet with that Joehe, let alone testify about it. In this way, no one can know Yindi and Qiao Hei's mother and daughter. ”

He finally found a reason, "Slow to say that Yi Zhu'er may not be the woman you said, even if she is true, it can only be said to be an unintentional coincidence." People, aren't they just decades! As for the minions here, long live the rest assured. Even if the slave is on the sword mountain and the sea of fire, he will not spit out a word. ”

But who knew that a few days later, on the day that Yi Zhu'er's mother was taken into Beijing, she hanged herself. It is said that after entering the palace to see his daughter, he couldn't think about it.

Later, a few days later, Yongzheng died, and Li Wei and others entered the palace overnight and issued an edict to support the new monarch......

After a long time, a wry smile bloomed on Li Wei's face, his pale and slightly yellow face was like the moon about to sink into the mountain, with a sadness greater than the desolation of his heart, his lips twitched, "I can't imagine that the King of Law actually has a secret son in the court, not only people in the palace, but even the important ministers of the day...... The eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting in the Xinghua Spring Pavilion that night were all informed by the Ortai Internal Affairs Office of Concubine Xi, no, now it should be the Chongqing Empress Dowager or the Holy Mother of the Empress Dowager, and they disposed of it after saying hello to ......"

A smug smile appeared on Zhao Kun's face. As a traverser/faceling who is destined to be the companion of Dugu and is full of secrets, he can only confide in the dying who will not get in the way of the big thing. And there are not many such opportunities, and there are countless villains who die from talking too much. What's more, revealing a secret before killing is often a FLAG that is overturned, and I don't know how many protagonists have successfully counter-killed because of this.

For him, it is not a big problem to be a tight-lipped person who can keep secrets, provided that there are occasional secrets that need to be guarded rather than always secrets. For those who have not experienced it firsthand, it is difficult to understand the desire of a lonely traveler to confide. Especially a faceless man like him, who is destined to walk alone. If he could really keep a lot of secrets in loneliness without any discomfort or need to confide, Zhao Kun would have changed his job to become a secret keeper a long time ago.

"Do you think that you are a pill in the Qing Dynasty?" There was something sarcastic about his voice.
