so

On December 26, the 30th year of Kangxi, the emperor in his prime cried until he passed out before raising the body of his grandmother who had been raising him for more than [-] years.For a moment, the entire Compassionate Ning Palace was in chaos.All kinds of shouts of "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!", "Your Majesty has fainted!", "Go find the prince!" came one after another, causing the Ci Ning Palace, which was originally shrouded in mist, to become extremely noisy.

Yinreng had been guarding the spirit all night, and now he was resting in the temporary curtains for the princes outside the Palace of Compassion and Ning. Before the eunuch could send the message, Yinreng himself was awakened by the chaos outside.After finishing my clothes, I went to the mourning hall.On the way, I happened to meet a little eunuch who was frizzy and came to find Yinreng. Yinreng grabbed him and asked about it, and immediately ordered him to go to the Great Buddha Hall to find the eighth elder brother. Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get it.

As soon as Yinrong arrived, the chaotic scene immediately stabilized, and the ministers who were in line to kneel in the mourning hall to ask the Holy One to mourn were severely scolded by him.Now that he got up, Yinfeng didn't rest anymore.The new year is approaching, the officials of various provinces are waiting for approval, the population has to be reported uniformly, the treasury has to be counted, the prince Taiji of the foreign domain, and the envoys of North Korea are coming to congratulate, and now they have entered Beijing.Furthermore, Empress Dowager Daxing did not want to stay away from the capital, and Kangxi planned to stop in the Anfeng Hall. The funeral affairs were cumbersome, and the Anfeng Hall had to be repaired.It has snowed heavily a few days ago, and many houses in central Beijing may be affected. We have to arrange temporary disaster relief shelters, distribute cold-proof clothes, and send imperial doctors to make inspections, so as to reduce the number of bannermen who died of freezing and starvation.In addition, the Taimiao, Yongling, Fuling, Zhaoling, Xiaoling, Empress Renxiao, and Empress Xiaozhao's mausoleums must all be impersonated to go to the sacrifice.After Yinfeng took care of many complicated affairs, he set up a yurt in the courtyard of the Compassionate Ning Palace, and used it as a temporary director's place. He read the booklets and wrote old records, so that Kangxi could give instructions and deal with it in time after he woke up.Looking at Kangxi's overly sad situation now, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive this year.

Yinfeng had just stabilized the commotion inside and outside the Cining Palace because of Kangxi's fainting, when Yinhu came.Just as he was about to salute, before he could tie his sleeves, Yinreng anxiously said no, without raising his head, he said, "I'm too busy here to leave, to Khan Ama's place, go and persuade me, others Go, I don't worry." After finishing speaking, he looked up at Yinhu.

Yinhu's eyes were swollen into blisters, and there were blue shadows under his eyes, his face was red, and the tears were not wiped off too much, as if he was still crying just now.

Yinfeng sighed, put down the folder in his hand, and said: "Yesterday I thought you were fine, but I didn't expect that you just cried behind my back. I'd better let the third and fourth go together, they are always older some."

Yinhu said, "Second brother, I'll go."

Yinfeng thought for a while, nodded, and ordered: "Pick it up and say to Ama, don't bring up Ama's sadness again. Guben only thought that it would be best if you could persuade me, and you would be the last Knowing the ancestors and knowing the heat and cold, you must let Khan Ama eat something. There are many important things waiting for him in this country and this family. Well, if you have more orphans, you don’t have to explain it. You can handle it yourself Come on, let's go."

Yinhu agreed, saluted and withdrew.

Yinhu felt that he was very cold, his eyes were hot, and he couldn't even open them, but he finally calmed down.The old ancestor left, Yinhu only felt that half of the sky had collapsed, and the grief in his heart seemed to be worse than when his mother Ama left in the previous life.The Empress Dowager Daxing, his great-grandmother, was just a symbol of superiority to him in the previous life, but now it is his support in this palace, and it is the root that he will never cut off in this life.If there is no ancestor, it is impossible for Yinhu to be able to grow up with them all the way since they were born in Jiuxiaoshi. Everything may still be the same as in the previous life.Yinhu glanced at the tall and tall Zigong where the old ancestor stopped, and suddenly felt the kind of stability when the old ancestor was by his side inexplicably.

When Kangxi woke up, he felt light and limp all over his body, unable to exert any strength.Just as Liang Jiugong was going to ask about Mama's condition, he suddenly remembered that Mama, who raised him, protected him, and urged him since he was a child, is no longer here.Although more than [-] hours have passed, Kangxi still does not want to believe this is true.He is the son of heaven, the master of the world, but he still can't fight for the sky.For a moment, sadness came from it, and tears seemed to fall again.Just listen to Liang Jiugong's report: "Long Live Lord, the eighth elder brother has been waiting for almost two hours. Can you see me?"

"Eighth brother?" Kangxi was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that this child was raised under the knees of his ancestors since he was a child, and he has a deep affection for his ancestors.What is he here for?After hesitating for a while, he still said to Liang Jiugong, "Let's pass it on."

Liang Jiugong withdrew.Not long after, Yinhu came in and saluted politely, but his voice was hoarse: "Chen Yinhu pays homage to Ama Khan."

"Get up," Kangxi looked at the son's eyes that were obviously swollen from crying, and felt pity in his heart. He only felt that although Yinhu might not be as attached to his ancestor as he was, he was probably the closest among the princes. that's it.During the past few months when the ancestor was ill, Yinhu accompanied him every day. As long as Yinhu was by his side, it seemed that the ancestor felt relieved.Thinking of this, Kangxi's tone became more loving, "You cry so hard too? Your eyes are swollen, have you not slept all night?"

"Yes," Yinhu stood up, stepped aside, and answered with bowed head.

"The prince asked you to persuade me?" Kangxi hit the nail on the head, "He will find someone. Tell me, you are not sad or in pain now? Can you come to persuade me?"

Yinhu bowed and said: "Huihan Ama, the prince did order the minister to comfort you, but the son came here to ask for an order. The son has been kind to the Empress Dowager Daxing since he was a child, and he also wants to be filial for Wuku's mother. , I ended up in a hut in the Palace of Compassion and Serenity, and served for a period of 27 months to comfort my grief. Three years, my son felt that it was not enough, and I really didn't want to change the days and months, so I begged Khan Ama for permission." He said. , Yinhu knelt down and saluted solemnly.The body was too weak because of mourning, and fell down once in the middle.

Kangxi snorted coldly, "Eighth elder brother has grown up. This is to retreat. The prince taught you? I just issued the edict yesterday, and I will obey it for 27 months. The intention must be done. The kings and ministers wrote the letter Admonish me with the day and the moon, they don't understand my heart, don't you and the princes also understand? My heart is set, you will do it with all your heart, don't try to persuade me any more." Although Kangxi's words were so serious, he didn't think so. I suspect that Yinhu is out of heart. After all, Yinhu has been raised in the Palace of Compassion and Ning since he was a child.

Yinhu's request for this request was made after two hours of thinking outside.Firstly, Yinhu missed his great-grandmother and really wanted to be filial piety, and secondly, as Kangxi said, he had the heart of retreating to advance. Kangxi can also ask him to serve filial piety on behalf of the emperor, and Kangxi himself can do it with the days and months.Solving this trouble for the prince and ministers is also a good opportunity for Yinhu to enter the courtiers' sight for the first time.Yinhu's previous life was also considered to be a long-tested one. Hearing Kangxi's tone, he knew that there was probably something to be said for this matter.Weeping for a while, Fu Dikou said: "Khan Ama Mingjian, the prince only asked his son to persuade Khan Ama to eat, and he didn't explain anything else. The reason why the son invited himself was because of his sincere heart to the Empress Dowager Daxing. Khan Ma Xiao moved the heavens, and his ministers admired him so much, Khan Ama said that he would retreat as an advance...Khan Ama forgives the sin, my son...doesn't understand."

Yinhu is naturally pretending to be stupid. If he is two years older at this time, he will not dare to do so. At this time, he has the advantage of being young, and it would be a waste not to use it.For a moment, he remembered that the emperor's father in the previous life scolded him for being "insidious and sinister since childhood", but now it is true, his heart is bitter, and his face is even more ugly.

Hearing what Yinhu said, Kangxi also felt that he probably thought too much: Yinhu was only eight years old at the time, and the eldest brother of the crown prince naturally knew about the twists and turns in the court. I really don't understand.For a while, I felt that Yinhu's reply under his own reprimand was quite methodical and to the point. It seemed that this old eighth was indeed a man to be made, as the holy grandmother said.After recovering, she found that Yinhu was still kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly said: "Yinhu, get up, come and show Ama."

Yinhu's heart trembled suddenly, and he felt that his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.In the first few years, Yinhu even found it difficult to call Ama. In front of Kangxi, he could speak Chinese as long as he could speak Chinese, and he would naturally alienate him if he called "Emperor Father".Since the Empress Dowager suffered a stroke in 25 years, Kangxi has been working in the Palace of Compassion and Ninggong, and naturally she has seen more with Yinhu. In front of the Empress Dowager, Yinhu has gradually become accustomed to speaking Manchu to Kangxi.But in my heart, after all, I still mind the phrase "the kindness of father and son is absolute".Even though Yinhu regretted that she didn't get close to Kangxi when she was young, there was still a gap in her heart after all.He felt that he could do anything for the emperor's father. If he had the opportunity to do a job in this life, he was even willing to offend relatives, nobles and courtiers for the sake of the emperor. After all, he had nothing to repay for his father's kindness.It's just that it's too difficult for him to be a kind father, a loving son, and a filial son.

Yinhu just felt confused afterwards and didn't know how it happened.For some reason, he heard Kangxi talk about the story of his childhood and his ancestors, and for some reason, he called "Ama" out of nowhere. woman.He never thought that he and the emperor could have so many words to say, and these words had nothing to do with the government, the imperial power, or the Qing Dynasty, but only spoke of the kind and wise relative in their hearts who could give people infinite strength.

Yinhu later had a fever and passed out, which was extremely dangerous.Kangxi issued a special decree to send Yinhu to Qixiang Palace, so that Concubine Liang could take care of her day and night.Yinzhen took Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi to see him three times a day.Three days later, Yinhu finally woke up, which finally made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

After that day, Kangxi's grief lessened a little. Although he still grieved every day, he could always save some things and manage some affairs.Seeing Yinhu collapsed, Kangxi also calmed down a little. Although the grief in his heart was the same as before, he was no longer indulging in it at last.

The 27th year of Kangxi's New Year's Day was spent in a bleak state. Kangxi did not even return to the Qianqing Palace, but spent the New Year in a temporary curtain outside the Compassionate Ning Palace.After waking up, Yinhu went to thank her, and asked to keep the clothes for the Empress Dowager Daxing for 27 months.All the kings and ministers asked to play again, asking the emperor to put the country as the most important thing, and change the moon with the sun.On the third day of the first lunar month, Kangxi issued an imperial edict, ordering the eighth son of the emperor, Yinhu, to observe filial piety on my behalf, and to live in the palace of compassion and peace for 27 months.Yinhu paid great attention to filial piety, made big salutes, and received decrees to thank him.
