CHAPTER XLII

Kangxi smiled privately: "I don't believe it, where else can they run?" ”

"Don't look at them so determined now, but I believe that as long as they are given high-ranking officials, after a long time, they will naturally not have any idea of rebellion. It's human nature. ”

While embroidering, Umalu said, "Are there many people recruited this time?" ”

"There are more than 170 people who have been recommended, and 153 people have taken the exam. I give preferential treatment in various aspects such as living treatment, examination arrangements, and post-examination awards. Kangxi said with a smile, "Even if there are only a few dozen or so who have real talents and real learning, it is not a loss." ”

"Even if you don't have real talent and real learning, you're buying bones for a thousand dollars." Umalu said, "Ye doesn't lose anything." ”

"Indeed." Kangxi looked at her, and then retracted his gaze, "As for those who don't come, it doesn't matter." ”

"Yes."

Kangxi lowered his head and continued to look at the folds.

Umalu played with Bao Cheng, she frowned slightly, her heart was uncomfortable for a while, and vomiting followed.

Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Bao Cheng said obediently: "E-niang sit, my son will bring you water." ”

Bao Cheng brought her the teacup.

Umalu looked at him like this, took it with a smile, and said with a smile: "Bao Cheng is really amazing." ”

Bao Cheng nodded solemnly: "When my son learns to ride and shoot in the future, he will definitely give Eniang a gift." ”

"Okay." Umaru smiled.

Kangxi looked up at them, satisfied.

Xiao Meng's father-in-law came in from the side, grabbed Liang Jiugong, and muttered a few words.

Liang Jiugong stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, someone from the queen's side said that the queen is not well." ”

Kangxi looked at Umalu.

Umalu got up and said, "Lord wants to take the prince with you?" The slave went back first. ”

Kangxi nodded: "You go back first." ”

He said as he walked out with Bao Cheng.

"Liang Jiugong, what did the imperial doctor invited by the queen say?"

"The slave doesn't know that the imperial physician has already gone."

……

Umalu walked out of the inner room, and Yin Shuang'er and Shi Xiaoxiao followed her to the side hall.

After reading the book, Umalu thought about it and began to transcribe the Buddhist scriptures.

"Medicine Master Liuliguang Rulai Wish Merit Sutra"

Word by word, rules and regulations, although it is not called a face and a willow bone, but it is also a board and a glance.

Because of the affairs of the court and the poor health of the queen Niu Hulu, Kangxi no longer summons Umalu at any time as before, but will go to Kunning Palace whenever he has free time.

Yin Shuang'er came back from inquiring about the news and said to Umalu: "The slave went to inquire, saying that the queen has been sick for several days, and it is Master Tong who is managing the harem during this time, and the queen is really not in good health, so she called someone to find the emperor." ”

"I heard that I'm now relying on medicine to hang my breath."

In Kunning Palace, Niu Hulu was lying on the bed, breathing rapidly, not as much as she was breathing, her face was extremely pale, her cheeks were sunken, a layer of skin was attached to her bones, and the whole person was not presentable.

Her head was dizzy, and she seemed to be unable to hear what others were saying.

The palace maid next to her fed her spoonful by spoonful of medicine.

Kangxi saw it in his eyes and asked again, "How long can she live now?" ”

The head of the Tai Hospital repeated his previous answer again, he bowed his head and said: "If you return to the emperor, the queen's body will be cut off, and her pulse will be almost gone, and I am afraid that she will have already decayed from the inside of her body. For several months, the ministers could only rely on all kinds of precious medicinal materials to hang their breath. The ministers are not proficient in learning and art, and they cannot be cured. The ministers are guilty. ”

Kangxi took a deep breath and told them to retreat.

He knew that she was ignoring the medicine, and asking like this was just to ask for peace of mind.

Kangxi held her hand and asked her, "What else do you want?" ”

Niu Hulu gave birth to a little sobriety from the chaos, and she said: "The slave has a thin life, and he can't give birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor." What I want in my life is only the Niu Hulu family. ”

She said intermittently: "The slave father's family temple, please...... The Emperor. ”

"If the children of the clan commit something wrong in the future, they will also ask the emperor to ...... For the sake of the minions, spare their lives. ”

"I answer you."

This is not a promise from a husband to his wife, but a promise from the king of a country.

Niu Hulu couldn't think so much about it, only that he agreed, she showed the last smile in her life, she grabbed his hand tightly, and smiled palely: "Thank you." ”

Niu Hulu closed his eyes and fell into eternal sleep.

Her hand was like a chicken claw, and she never let go.

In her life, she was the daughter of the Niu Hulu family until she died, and she never thought about herself.

The name she will leave in history is just the cold words "Niu Hulu".

No one in the world will know that she is Yuyan.

That also used to hold a fan and flutter fireflies, also used to beat horses in the suburbs, and also used poetry and books to take advantage of Yuyan.

After all, she became the Niu Hulu clan.

In that year, 1678 A.D., on February 26, the seventeenth year of Kangxi, the queen Niu Hulu collapsed in Kunning Palace.

The news spread throughout the palace.

The Empress Dowager drove to the Qianqing Gate and wanted to enter the palace to cry, Kangxi resigned repeatedly, and the Empress Dowager returned to the palace.

The kings, Beizi, dukes, etc., ministers, scholars, bachelors, and guards entered the Danzhang of the Qianqing Gate, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu and Han dynasties gathered outside the Qianqing Gate to mourn.

Princesses, county lords, etc., kings, concubines Belle and women of the second rank and above of the Eight Banners, all entered the Kunning Palace to mourn.

On that day, Fei Yaosai, the leader of the inner guards, sent a message to the university scholars Suo Etu, Ledehong, and Nalan Mingzhu, saying: "Go out to conquer the king, Baylor and all the officials for the country to conquer the thieves, pacify the place, and serve the line." Today, I ordered Yi and other wives to wear mourning clothes, and I couldn't bear it. He wears filial piety clothes, takes off earrings, distributes, and is exempt. ”

The ministers received the order to give thanks, and each had his own thoughts, so he didn't say anything for the time being.

On February 27, due to the death of the queen, the court was suspended for five days, and during these five days, political affairs were ignored.

On that day, the Empress of the Great Line was furnished outside the Qianqing Gate.

At that time, the queen of the funeral Daxing was in the main hall of Kunning Palace, and her mourning was as good as before.

On the morning of February 28, the Empress of Daxing was furnished outside the Qianqing Gate.

At the time of Chen, Kangxi personally sent the Daxing Empress Zigong to be in the Wuying Palace.

Imperial concubines, concubines and princesses, county lords, etc., kings, concubines of Belle, and women of the second rank or above, all enter the palace gate with Zigong.

The kings, the beys, the princes, and the civil and military officials all knelt outside the palace gate to greet them.

Kangxi came to mourn in person.

The kings, Beizi, and the princes raised their ministers, and all mourned to the east.

The kings, Beizi, dukes and other ministers please drive back to the palace, and Kangxi is returning to the palace.

Before the time, the kings, Beizi, and the dukes raised their ministers and mourned again.

Kangxi issued an edict: In the future, the kings, Beizi, and the princes will raise their ministers to mourn outside the palace gate every morning and evening.

On February 29, Kangxi went to the Daxing Empress Zigong to mourn.

Not long after, the queen mother came to mourn in front of the Empress Zi Palace.

When Kangxi saw her coming, he saluted and avoided her.

The Queen Mother finished her mourning, walked up to him, looked at the pain in his expression, and sighed softly.
