191 A generation of emperors has finally died
Gao Zhu died. It should be this day. Because from this day on, the emperor aged very quickly, his hair was gray, his spirit was not as good as before, and his eyes were even worse.
I don't know how long the emperor can last. Perhaps the emperor also understands that he can't last much time, on the twelfth day of the first month of the 60th year of Kangxi, the kings and ministers asked the emperor to hold a celebration ceremony when he reigned for 60 years.
Due to the fact that there was a lot of shortage of money and grain in the provinces, the emperor also instructed the governors of the provinces to discuss how to eliminate the malpractices and clean them up.
On the 28th day of the first lunar month, the Russian envoy Izmaililov resigned to the emperor, and the emperor held a banquet to entertain him.
This is not the first time Dong Emiaoyi has met the envoy, and there have been cross-sections in private before, but in fact, it is not because of business.
Rather, the envoy presented the Tsar's gifts to the emperor, including mirrors, clocks, compasses, cartographs, telescopes, microscopes, barometers, etc.
But the chart, the microscope, and the barometer are really surprising to look at. Therefore, the emperor asked Yinyu's craftsmen to continue to study, and as for whether more was needed, it was studied by Yinyu and the envoy.
They were worried that the envoy might not agree, as it might be confidential. I didn't expect the envoy to come here mainly to restore trade, and he was willing.
And there is no silver, only pearl tea and silk and so on to exchange, these things are also gifts from the emperor to the Russian tsar.
Because of this, in the end, the emperor decreed that the Russian mission should be given 100 documents with seals, and Russian merchants could enter the country with the documents, but no more than 200 people at a time, and the Qing Dynasty would build a city on the border to facilitate trade.
The result of this matter made Yinyu very satisfied, he only needs microscopes and other things here, as for the rest, Yinyu doesn't dare to ask for more, even if the emperor doesn't dare, who knows what will happen in a few years?
However, if they want to do business, they will go to the Thirteen Societies in Guangzhou, in fact, the Russian mission is also careful, otherwise how can they enter Beijing from Guangzhou?
It's a big circle. No wonder they all say that foreigners have many eyes. Yinyu wrote a letter to Yunxin to explain the situation, and Yunxin was happy, she has been long, knowledgeable, and understands the benefits.
And Honghui followed Yinyu to Guangzhou before, and a while ago he also met with Dong E Miaoyi to meet with the Russian envoy, although he was not interested in business, but he was interested in foreign culture.
Yinyu struck while the iron was hot and invited a missionary to Honghui to teach foreign languages, as well as physics and other things, I thought that Honghui would be interested in a few days, but I didn't expect to really like these.
Sometimes I go to the craftsmen of Yinyu to see how they make clocks and glass, and even make them myself.
Dong Emiaoyi and Yinyu don't care what Hongyu does, as long as he likes it, even if Yinyu himself is not doing his job among the princes, but he still let him figure it out, and he understands that no matter what he does, as long as he does it well, it is also good.
What's more, they can let Yunxin be alone in Guangzhou, are they still worried about Honghui researching this? Therefore, Concubine Yi was a little unhappy, so she could only forget it.
On February 28, General Fuyuan Yun Yu gave a clear message: **Although it has been pacified, the garrison is particularly important.
The emperor decided to strengthen the governance measures in **, and sent Manchuria, Mongolia and Green Banner soldiers, a total of 4,000 people stationed in **.
On the fourth day of the first month of March, in order to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the emperor's reign, the kings, Baylor, Manchu and Han ministers, and civil and military officials jointly joined forces with Emperor Kangxi to honor the two crosses: Holy Spirit, Wenwu, Qinming, Ruizhe, Great Filial Piety, Hong, Renti, Yuanshoushi, and the Most Holy Emperor.
The emperor, as always, still refused. The emperor has rejected the title more than ten times. Even Yinyu also felt that although the emperor was suspicious and not a competent Amma, he was definitely a good emperor.
Yinyu even felt that the emperor would pave the way for the new emperor again, first to check the deficit, then to the ** garrison, and then to meet with the Russian envoy, and now to the Taiwan garrison...... Yinyu is definitely not the only one who has this idea, all the princes guess in their hearts who is the final victor in the end, before the emperor liked the fourteenth elder brother very much, and even gave him the title of a general, but now that the battle has been fought, people have not let him come back, which has to make people ponder.
Yin Yu thought, it seems that the eighth master's plan is impossible, but I don't know if the eighth master who is in it can understand.
The eighth master has come to this point, no matter what, he must fight hard, otherwise if it is not him or the fourteenth elder brother who ascends the throne, he will not get any benefits.
It's just that now no matter how the eighth master jumps, he has the feeling of a clown jumping off the beam. In the sixty-first year of Kangxi, the emperor had already shown obviously.
On the 22nd day of the first month of the 61st year of Kangxi, the emperor inspected the Gyeonggi area, and went to Zhaobeikou through Xincheng to board a boat to read the river, accompanied by the fourth master.
On April 13, the emperor went to Rehe for summer vacation, and only returned to Beijing on September 28. The fourth master is casual, and has participated in the hunting activities held by the emperor many times.
On the ninth day of October, Yinzhen was ordered to lead Long Keduo and others to survey the granary. On the ninth day of November, due to the emperor's illness, the fourth master was ordered to preside over the southern suburbs on the 15th, obeying the purpose of fasting, and constantly sent guards and eunuchs to Changchun Garden to ask Emperor Kangxi for peace.
This year's winter came very early, only November, and it was snowing heavily. Yin Yu hugged his big man, only to feel that the snow was endless.
In fact, at the end of October, the emperor was a little uncomfortable, they were the princes every day to come to Changchun Garden to ask for an attendant, a few days ago the emperor also let them come forward, since the ninth day of the first month has not summoned them, but I heard that the fourth master went in, came back really did not say anything, they couldn't see anything.
But their hearts seemed to grow grass, and they all understood what was coming. The eighth master is here every morning, and he doesn't leave until nightfall, one day, he doesn't do anything and stands in front of Changchun Garden waiting to be summoned, and the application is as gentle as usual, but occasionally there is a flash of anxiety in his eyes, in fact, if he is in a hurry, there is nothing wrong with it, and such a calm makes people feel wrong.
In fact, the eighth master did this to learn the thirteenth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother had been released the winter before last, although the emperor did not say that he was under house arrest, but in fact he had fallen out of favor, in the winter of the previous year, the emperor suddenly mentioned the thirteenth elder brother, saying that the thirteenth elder brother liked to eat rice balls, and someone sent a bowl of rice balls, the thirteenth elder brother has been locked up in the house for nearly ten years, this is the first time the emperor mentioned the thirteenth elder brother, the first time to send something over.
Since I sent something, I naturally have to come over to thank you. The thirteen elder brothers only knelt outside Changchun Garden, the emperor did not let people in, but he did not drive away, the thirteen came for more than ten days in a row, always had leg problems, and knelt all day.
Later, the emperor said, since the leg is not good, don't kneel like this, come in and rest, and I didn't see the emperor in the end, but this is enough.
The thirteenth elder brother is considered to be a resurrection. Now that he thinks about it, Yinyu has already guessed in his heart who is written on the holy decree.
It's so obvious, I'm afraid that the eighth master also guessed it in his heart, but the eighth master just came to Changchun Garden every day, Yinyu didn't think that the eighth master would give up, this person's nature is screwed, it can be said that he has lost everything for the throne, and now he will not give up in front of him.
Sure enough, on the twelfth day, these princes were still waiting in front of the gate of Changchun Garden, and suddenly Wei Zhu quickly whipped over, stopped in front of them, did not dismount, held the token in his hand, and said to the princes: "Ladies and gentlemen, the little one is reckless, and because there is an emergency, I can't salute you." After finishing his words in a hurry, without waiting for the princes to speak, Wei Zhu rode directly into Changchun Garden.
The princes didn't say a word, their faces were still the same as just now, but they were even more anxious in their hearts, could it be that what happened in the palace?
Now the princes who can basically achieve great things are here, and the rest is just a young elder brother, what happened in the palace?
After a while, a little eunuch came over and said something in Babel's ear, and the eighth master just paused to drink tea, then nodded, and the little eunuch left.
King Chengjun has always been unable to hold back his words, he is the boss of this group of brothers, and it doesn't matter if he asks, he said, "I don't know what happened to the eighth brother?" So urgent? The eighth master smiled: "The dog is sick, it's not a big deal." King Chengjun nodded, the eighth master is such a son, it doesn't matter if he attaches some importance to it.
At this time, Changchun Garden. The emperor smashed the bowl containing the decoction and said angrily: "Son! I'm not dead yet! Dare to go to the palace to search for the edict now......" After speaking, he began to cough violently.
In the past two years, the emperor's temper has become worse and worse, but fortunately, he has not been negligent in political affairs. The eunuchs on the side hurriedly stepped forward to serve the emperor.
The emperor paused for a while and said: "All the people who are caught are killed, and there is no need to spread the word." Wei Zhu only responded, but he didn't expect the emperor to even ask who it was.
The emperor seemed to have guessed what Wei Zhu was thinking, and only said: "There is no one else but him." "Yinxi, you are so disappointing to me.
The emperor closed his eyes and waved his hand, and Wei Zhu went down freely. Maybe it's because the emperor, although he is more suspicious, but he is more longing for the love between father and son, although he is more irritable but also more soft-hearted, at this time, the emperor really can't bear to deal with his son.
At this time, he often thought of the great Chitose and the abolished prince, both of whom were good sons, and now they ...... There are also dead juniors, elevens, and eighteenth...... And the children who died young...... The emperor always felt that it was because he had done too much evil...... At this time, the emperor even believed that the prince had no intention of forcing the palace, but this time Yinxi was so bold...... Forget it, he's going to be gone, why bother pulling another son?
It's just that Yinxi's matter is like the last straw, and the emperor who has been pressed can't breathe, and these children are looking forward to his death.
On the second day, the emperor ordered the fourth son of the emperor to return quickly from Zhai; Then, the third son of the emperor Yinzhi, the seventh son Yinyou, the eighth son Yinzhen, the ninth son Yinyu, the tenth son Yino, the twelfth son Yinzhi, the thirteenth son Yinxiang, and the Shangshu Long Keduo of the Lifan Yuan were all summoned to the front of the imperial couch and told the fourth son of the emperor Yinzhen to inherit the throne.
Carved out, the emperor collapsed in the palace. On the 14th, the Supreme Hanger was: Hetian Hongyun Wenwu Ruizhe Gong Frugal and Generous Filial Piety Integrity Merit Emperor Chengren, Temple Number: Holy Ancestor.
