Prince Heng [Qing wear]

On the ninth day of July in the 28th year of Kangxi, the imperial concubine Tong was established as the queen.

The book says that she was born noble, in charge of palace affairs, diligent and thrifty, and raised many sons, and made great contributions. Therefore, Tong, the daughter of Tong Guowei, the uncle of the minister of the guards, was canonized as the queen.But in fact, all the women in the harem knew that Tong's queen would not be long.Although some people are envious of Lord Long Live's devotion to Tong's family, but if the price of life is exchanged for the position of queen, then it is better to avoid it.

On the tenth day of July in the 28th year of Kangxi, Jiachen Shen engraved, Tong, who had been queen for only one day, died in Chengqian Palace at the age of 36.

So far, Kangxi once again lost a relative who was of great significance to his life.

Because the Tong family was canonized as the queen by the Long Live Lord the day before his death.Then the memorial ceremony prepared by the Ministry of Rites for her when she was the imperial concubine was inappropriate.Had to start all over again, the Ministry of Rites is busy up and down these days.

Long live God announced that he would quit court for five days.All kings, civil and military officials, princesses, concubines, and second-rank wives of the Eight Banners must gather to mourn and hold the clothes for 27 days.

On July [-]th, the Ministry of Rites was ordered to move the Empress Zi Palace of Daxing to the Hall of Blessings outside Chaoyang Gate. Kangxi personally sent away this woman who had left a deep imprint in his life.

The ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner.

On the border of the Qing Empire in the north, with Qing making important concessions, Qing and Tsarist Russia reached an agreement on the border between the two countries on July 23, and officially signed the "Nerchinsk Treaty" on July 24.

When the fifth elder brother heard the news, his heart ached.

It is difficult for the two countries to define the "Treaty of Nerchinsk" in later generations, and both think that they have suffered a loss.

The "Treaty of Nerchinsk" cannot be said to be an unequal treaty, because at the negotiating table of this era, both parties are equal, and even the Qing Dynasty can be regarded as a victorious country.However, before the signing, the Qing Dynasty made important concessions.Perhaps for the current Khan Amma, the vast land of West Siberia is just a barren land to him, far less sad than the death of his dear cousin.But everyone in later generations knows that there is a huge treasure land of resources, rich in coal, oil and natural gas.

The fifth elder brother didn't know how to evaluate this matter, he felt powerless.Even if he told Khan Amana that it was a treasure land, he should not give it up easily.But how could Khan Ama listen to the nonsense of a ten-year-old?Facing the inertia of history, the fifth elder brother was at a loss and at a loss.

After a day of exhaustion, the fifth elder brother returned to the elder brother's office.He thought for a while, and asked Wu Yue, the eunuch next to him: "Is there anything left to eat in our yard?"

Wuyue tilted his head: "Brother, are you hungry? Let's order food from the dining room earlier. As for food, there are still a few plates of dim sum left in the room. Oh, by the way, we still have a box of six The pineapple cake sent by Gege was specially sent by Liu Gege to worry about your grief and loss of appetite these days."

"Bring the pineapple cake, I'll go to Fourth Brother's yard."

The fifth elder brother hesitated and walked into the fourth elder brother's yard.The fourth elder brother was sitting by the window in a daze.

"Fourth brother, I'm here to find you."

"It's Xiao Wu, what's the matter?" Brother Si's throat was a little hoarse.

The fifth elder brother looked squarely at the fourth elder brother: "Fourth elder brother, you haven't eaten much in the past few days. This is pineapple cake, a new snack developed by the dining room. It's not too sweet. You can eat a few pieces to fill your stomach."

The fifth elder brother handed over the dim sum to the eunuch Su Peisheng next to the fourth elder brother to serve it on a plate.

The fourth elder brother ignored these trivial matters.

He just looked at the fifth elder brother blankly: "Xiao Wu, if... if... one day, the person you have been longing for in your heart hurts the other person you love, what should you do to the previous person?" What to do?"

The fifth elder brother thought, if one day Xiaoru and Yifei were in conflict, who would he choose to help?This situation is very likely to happen, after all, the generation gap between Xiaoru and Yifei is nearly 400 years.

"I don't know, fourth brother, I don't know." The fifth elder brother really didn't know what to do at that time, "I will try my best to let them live in peace. If not, I will reduce their meetings."

Fifth elder brother paused: "If the damage has already happened, I will stand on the right side."

"Xiao Wu, what should you do if the relationship between those two people is already complicated and you can't tell who is right and who is wrong?" Brother Si continued to ask.

"Take it apart and analyze it layer by layer." The fifth elder brother looked at the dim eyes of the fourth elder brother, and then said, "This is the method of investigating the case, and I will not use it. Fourth brother, there is no right or wrong relationship. I think I am right. If you must give me an answer, I can only say: Cherish the people in front of you."

The fourth elder brother was stunned for a moment, and slowly said a word: "Okay."

He began to mechanically eat the dim sum brought by the fifth elder brother. The sweetness of the pineapple cake gradually penetrated into his heart, but it gave him the feeling that the dim sum that the emperor and concubine made him eat was full of bitter taste.

On September 22, Tong's posthumous title was Empress Xiaoyi.

During Empress Xiaoyi's funeral, a small event happened in the Forbidden City.Hong Sheng, a student of the Imperial College, gathered actors to perform "The Palace of Eternal Life" in a private house. The "Law of the Qing Dynasty" stipulates that vocal music is prohibited during the funeral of Empress Daxing.However, Hong Sheng violated this taboo, and was impeached by Huang Liuhong in the incident, and then imprisoned on the charge of "disrespect".

Originally, this situation should be punished with capital punishment, but Kangxi considered that it is not appropriate to see blood during the funeral of Empress Xiaoyi.In addition, although "The Palace of Eternal Life" describes the love between Tang Minghuang and Concubine Yang Guifei, "July [-]th in the Palace of Longevity, when no one is whispering at midnight" corresponds to the scene of that day, which aroused Kangxi's longing for Empress Xiaoyi.Therefore, Kangxi showed leniency, except for dealing with the participants, he did not delve into the script of "The Palace of Eternal Life".

Hong Sheng was sent to the prison of the Ministry of punishment and was expelled from the Guozijian.Participants, such as Zhu Dian, a scholar in attendance, Zhao Zhixin, Zanshan, and Weng Shiyong, the prefect of Taiwan, were all dismissed.

"Oh, I have a pity for "The Palace of Eternal Life" for one night, and ruined my fame. What a big disrespect, it's just a factional dispute between the North and the South. The North Party has really become more and more rampant recently. Xiangguo Mingzhu was suppressed by Han Ama, and the North Party still I don't know how to restrain myself, it's really ridiculous." Fifth elder brother sneered.

"Xiao Wu, be careful." More than a month has passed, and the fourth elder brother has gradually eased from his grief, "Those people did disrespectful things during the funeral of Empress Xiaoyi and disrespected the emperor's mother. Khan Ama has already I have dealt with this matter leniently, so don't say any more, for fear of causing trouble."

"Okay, okay, good fourth brother. I know, I will definitely not be nosy. Besides, even if I want to be nosy now, I can't meddle in my own business." The fifth elder brother smiled playfully, "Don't worry, before you have no power , I will never mind my own business."

"Xiao Wu!" The fourth elder brother sighed helplessly, really wanted to throw this younger brother Tuanba Tuanba far away, so that he would no longer have to worry about him.

On October [-]th, Kangxi personally sent Empress Xiaoyi's Zigong to Jingling, and ordered the elder brother Yinti, the third elder brother Yinzhi, and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen to accompany him.

Everyone stayed at Wuli Bridge for the time being.

On November [-]th, everyone moved Empress Xiaoyi's Zigong to the Xiangdian in front of the underground palace.Kangxi sent his elder brother Yinti to read the text and offer sacrifices.

The fourth elder brother always felt that something was wrong when the eldest elder brother recited the sacrificial oration in front of him.The queen's sacrificial rites are read so that people are not randomly selected, and the selection of candidates has great political significance.For example, before the Empress Dowager passed away, the person who recited the sacrificial rites was Khan Ama.Empress Xiaoyi passed away this time, in fact, the one who recited the sacrificial oration should be the most noble prince.

But the second brother of the crown prince is the son of the authentic descendant, so it seems inappropriate to ask him to read sacrificial rites for the successor.It's just that this time, asking the elder brother to read the sacrificial oration always has the meaning of rivalry.Xiao Wu was raised by the Empress Dowager, and in terms of status, he was higher than the elder brother. Even if Xiao Wu came to read the sacrificial rites, he was more suitable than the elder brother.

Khan Ama, what is he thinking?
