Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty
Chapter 145
Even if the princes and the Eight Immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers, everyone used various methods to pray for the Queen Mother. However, after people get old, the loss of life cannot be transferred by people's will.
And Tian Mi also felt that this happened too quickly. After some people suffer from dementia, they always live well for a long period of time, and can eat and sleep in all kinds of ways.However, the queen mother was not. It took the queen mother only half a year from dementia to being bedridden and finally falling into a coma.
After the new year, everything recovered, and many people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. After all, the elderly can survive the winter. As long as nothing happens in this winter, they can live for another year at least.
However, by spring, the queen mother had often fallen into a coma, and the vitality in her was gone.Those ignorant children are not willing to come to the Queen Mother.In the words of these children, the queen mother has a smell.
And people with more life experience can find that this is already a precursor to the decline of the Queen Mother's body.
People still have a breath, the body is no longer good, this reality is not good.
His parents died when he was young, and he lived with his grandmother.The relationship with this aunt was not good at first, but after time passed, those old people left one by one, and the relationship between the mother and son improved.
After these years, Kangxi was heartbroken by these sons, and he was particularly eager to treat those cares and affections that were not mixed with the slightest purpose, and the queen mother could give him this kind of care, but she never thought about getting other things from the emperor.
Therefore, the queen mother who is usually cheerful and can be coaxed dizzy by the younger generation is a very qualified aunt in Kangxi's eyes.
A queen mother who doesn't care about anything and a strong king, the two live in peace, and their relationship grows day by day.So when the Queen Mother was dying, Kangxi couldn't help being moved.
After the beginning of spring, the Empress Dowager's condition took a turn for the worse. Seeing that she was dying, Kangxi directly moved his belongings to the Palace of Compassion.
No matter what time it is, as long as there is a change on the Queen Mother's side, he can come at a gallop, and sometimes even live in the Compassionate Ning Palace to take care of the Queen Mother.
Tian Mi watched from the side, and had to say that Kangxi's behavior moved Tian Mi very much.Kangxi didn't do it for fame, but because he really didn't want to part with this empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager woke up less and less, and every time she woke up, Kangxi would rush over to chat with her, but the old man was already demented, and sometimes he didn't even know the people in front of him.
Once he woke up, and he was still on the grassland in his memory. Seeing these people in front of him felt very strange, clamoring to go home, crying and making noise.After being tired, he fell asleep again, and when he woke up and saw Kangxi, he couldn't help frowning.
"...You said you are Xuan Ye? That's not true, Xuan Ye is a child, don't coax me here."
Just this sentence made Kangxi burst into tears. The queen mother not only thought of Kangxi when she was a child, but also Fuquan when she was a child, and once even clamored to see Fuquan.However, Fuquan has passed away for several years, and bringing up those who have passed away will only add to the sadness of the living.
In this way, a few months later, it was moved from the Palace of Compassion to Peace to Changchun Garden, and at the end of autumn, it was moved from Changchun Garden to Palace of Compassion and Ning. The Empress Dowager could not even speak.
Everyone has the feeling in their hearts that the Empress Dowager is only a few days away.
So at this time, no matter who it is, everyone has raised their spirits, and many people have secretly prepared plain clothes.Tian Mi also quietly ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare white cloth.
The Empress Dowager has a lot of things, some things are to be buried with her, and it would be too flustered to sort them out after death, so these things have to be sorted out in advance.
If a funeral is going to be held, the joss sticks and paper horses to be used at that time must be well prepared. Don’t even find a stick of incense when the time comes. According to Kangxi’s urination, if someone dares to do such a thing at the Empress Dowager’s funeral Well, he can pull people out and take them outside the Meridian Gate to chop off their heads.
Kangxi's mood has been difficult to figure out recently, so these princes are all ⑵ spirited.
Especially the third child, he has been doing some inappropriate things at the funeral.
He has too many dark histories, such as wearing red at someone's funeral, and shaving his head not long after his thirteenth mother's burial... What he has done even feels dizzy, and he is worried that something will happen again.So the couple had already prepared things several months ago.
In order to prevent further mistakes at that time, the third child's wife gave instructions to all the servants of the third child, telling them to keep their eyes open and stare at the third child, and not to do anything annoying.
Except for the third child, other families also got ready. The fourth elder brother's family found out the white cloth because the children grew up fast, and waited for the time to do things and directly made clothes for the children.
Because the fifth child was raised by the queen mother, the boy in the family will be accompanied by the fifth child, so everything for the father and son must be prepared in advance.
After all, the relationship between the fifth child and the queen mother is not pretended. The fifth child must actively deal with the death of the queen mother because of emotion, but the more grand the funeral, the more physical strength of these filial sons and grandsons will be tested.Lao Wu is not young anymore, he is almost forty, if he stays up all night crying non-stop, coupled with too much sadness, Lao Wu will really faint.
So the children of their family have to follow him. If the fifth child faints, they need to take care of the fifth child.
Not to mention these people below the seventh child.
Everyone has been mentally prepared. Although Kangxi is sad, he also knows that life, old age, sickness and death cannot be interfered by the emperor in the world. These days, he guards the queen mother every day. The queen mother has been lethargic for a long time, and the water rice does not stick to the teeth. After eating, the middle is full of ginseng soup.
She woke up suddenly this morning, her face looked a lot ruddy, and there was some radiance in her eyes.
Everyone knew that it was time to return to the light, so Kangxi quickly surrounded him.
"Emperor mother?"
However, the old lady did not regain her senses, and looked at the people in front of her with suspicious eyes, but did not recognize who was who.
She just opened her mouth, "Where's the meal?"
The maids quickly brought up a bowl of porridge. Kangxi took the bowl with trembling hands and stirred it with a spoon.
Everyone knew that this was the old lady's last meal, Tian Mi asked Kangxi in a low voice: "Do you want to have a banquet?"
Kangxi nodded, and when he looked up again, there was an ugly smile on his face, "Emperor Niang, let's eat whatever we like later."
Scooped a spoonful of porridge with a silver spoon and blew it to the old lady. The old lady hadn't eaten for several days. After a spoonful of porridge went down, she patted the quilt with her hands happily, "It's delicious, this is delicious."
The kitchen had already been prepared, and the eunuchs quickly brought over the trays, and set a table full of banquets on the outside table.
At this time, the princes also arrived, and Fujin from various prefectures outside the house were waiting to be summoned.
Tian Mi, Fuquan's Fujin, and Changning's Fujin helped the old lady off the bed and let her sit upright at the table. The three of them held empty bowls and chopsticks. Tian Mi asked the old lady: "The emperor Er Niang, which one do you like?"
The old lady pointed to the eight-treasure glutinous rice with her fingers happily. This food was a bit indigestible, so Tian Mi dared to pick up a little bit with chopsticks and put it in a bowl to feed her.
The old lady pointed to the big braised carp on the table again. Fuquan's Fujin picked a piece of meat from the belly of the fish with chopsticks, carefully removed the bone and fed it to the old lady.
Chang Ning's Fujin sandwiched cold lotus root slices, and a deep-fried quail egg with chopsticks and fed it to the Queen Mother.
The old lady's appetite was very good today, she ate a little of every dish, and drank half a bowl of soup.
24 dishes, she tasted each one.
In the end, he couldn't forget the plate of mutton, "This is good, let me eat some more of this."
The old lady had already eaten a lot, and she must have been able to hold on normally. Chang Ning Fujin, who was in charge of serving dishes, looked at Tian Mi in embarrassment, and Tian Mi turned to look at Kangxi who was sitting on the other side of the table.
Kangxi nodded, and Tian Mi personally picked up a piece of tender mutton with chopsticks and fed it to the old lady.
At this time, a beef soup was brought in from the outside. The beef was cut into pieces to make a soup, and some sesame oil and vinegar were added in it, which made people appetite after smelling it.
The old lady had already smelled the smell, she was chewing the mutton in her mouth, and her eyes were already on the meat soup.
Lao Wu took the pot of meat soup and put it on the table, took some out with a spoon and let it cool down, then knelt down and fed it to the old lady.
The old lady drank a bowl and patted her stomach contentedly, "I'm full, I'm not hungry anymore."
After eating and drinking enough, looking at Lao Wu who was still kneeling next to him, he couldn't help asking: "Who are you?"
Before Lao Wu could speak, Brother Ten couldn't bear it any longer. He sniffed his nose vigorously and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.
There was too much movement, Kangxi looked back at him.
The old lady stood up and walked around the room twice. Everyone had lifted the dining table down, and the space in the middle of the room was larger. She walked around a few times in front of these children and grandchildren, stretched her waist, and walked slowly. He lay back on the bed, pulled the quilt, and closed his eyes contentedly.
As a daughter-in-law, Tian Mi and her two sisters-in-law hurriedly covered her with a quilt, and the old lady stretched out her hand and took Tian Mi's hand and confessed: "Tomorrow we will eat like this."
"Yes," Tian Mi nodded.
The old lady was relieved now, she obediently put her hands on her stomach, closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep with a smile on her lips.
Falling asleep, breathing slowed down, Chang Ning's Fujin heard something was wrong, she quickly poked Tian Mi with her hand, Tian Mi found that the old lady's chest was rising and falling too slowly, she quickly turned her head to look at Kangxi, Kangxi stood up and ran to the bed forward.
Then he put his hand in front of the old lady's nose, and quickly put the other hand on the old lady's neck.
There is no need for an imperial doctor to confirm, Kangxi knows that the old lady has passed.
He took a step back and knelt down, no matter men, women or children in the room knelt down together, the princes fell to the ground and cried loudly, and the maids and eunuchs outside, as well as the dignitaries and Fujin from various palaces and mansions, also cried.
After crying for a while, the youngest climbed up behind Kangxi from the ground, "Huang Ama, please give me your condolences. The empress dowager has gone, so I have to worry about the affairs behind her. Now the empress dowager's son is only Huang Ama. It's time for you to worry, so you must hold on."
Although the words are good words and that's what they mean, but they sound so unpleasant.
When the fourth prince was crying, he heard the third child say this, and looked at the third child while wiping his tears with his sleeve.
Kangxi didn't care about the words and sentences of the third son, but he was ⒍ed by the third sentence. Yes, Kangxi is the only son of the empress dowager, even if he is not his own, but the empress dowager is the mother. He was a concubine before, regardless of whether the mother and son are related by blood, but in terms of patriarchal clan, Kangxi is indeed the empress dowager's son.
Thinking of this, Kangxi couldn't help feeling uncomfortable in his heart, his heart twitched slightly from the shock of sadness, at this moment his eyes went dark, and he felt dizzy.
He couldn't support himself all of a sudden and rushed forward, the princes behind screamed, those who were as close as the third, fourth, fifth, and seventh, surrounded him, and helped Kangxi up with all his might stand up.
Kangxi's sudden dizziness made his head hurt like a needle prick, the pain was too sharp, and the twitching feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger one after another.
Seeing that his face was pale and his lips were purple, Tian Mi knew that he might be suffering from an illness, so she quickly came to Kangxi, took out the pill from his pouch, and stuffed it into Kangxi's mouth quickly, ignoring his secrets in front of the princes. inside.
The pill melted in the mouth, and after a while, Kangxi let out a slight breath.
At this juncture, everyone didn't dare to ask at all, and the princes retreated obediently, laying obediently on the ground, as if they hadn't seen anything.
Tian Mi rubbed Kangxi's heart with her hand, and Wei Zhu brought another glass of boiled water for Kangxi to drink.
Kangxi shook his head at Tian Mi, telling her not to worry too much.
"What the third brother said is right, the empress dowager's funeral should be done. I will live in Song, and guard the spirit of the empress dowager."
As soon as this sentence was finished, the princes were crying in the back again. Tian Mi couldn't help but want to persuade Kangxi, your body is already like this, don't worry about it, keeping the spirit is very hard, you still have to Live in a hut.
To live in a hut is to build a straw hut with some hay spread inside. The harder it is, the more sincere it becomes.Now that it’s autumn, sooner or later there will be dew, and there will be no quilt, and the dew will stain your clothes, and people will get sick again, isn’t it not worth the loss.
"Cousin, the empress dowager passed away peacefully. If she knew you were so sad, she might miss you too. Let him go away without any worries." You'd better not go to live in a hut.
Kangxi shook his head, "The empress dowager thinks about me, but I feel uneasy when I think of her old man...not being filial to me all her life. The empress dowager has not received much benefit from our family, but she is heartbroken for this group of evildoers."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at the princes, "Don't kneel down, this is a big deal for our family, get up, and do what you need to do, you discuss it and get it done."
Now that Kangxi said so, the funeral has entered the process, and the clan members outside the palace will come in and cry for the spirit. Where to stop the spirit and where to sacrifice must be arranged in advance.
Because of the preparations made some time ago, these places have been divided, and now the first thing is to tear the white cloth to make filial piety clothes, and the filial sons will start to wear white.
In addition, there is a letter to the mother's family of the Mongolian queen mother, asking them to come and see the queen mother for the last time.And these princesses and princesses who married to Mongolia will also come back to cry.This funeral cannot be completed in ten days and half a month. It takes a month, and it takes three months to complete the matter.
The following days will be difficult, and everyone is mentally prepared.
The princes retreated, and a large area was vacated in the room.The Fujins also retreated, and even the concubines retreated from this room.
After the people in the room retreated, Tian Mi supported Kangxi to stand up.The two supported each other and came to the Empress Dowager's bed. The Empress Dowager's expression looked calm and kind, with the satisfaction of being full of wine and food, it could be seen that it was not painful to leave.
Kangxi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Emperor Niang came to our house, but she didn't really enjoy many blessings, but she was trembling in the early years."
"You can't say that. After you ascended the throne, you will be taken care of by the Empress Dowager, and you will be filially treated by us juniors. The peace in the past few decades is enough to make up for the worries and fears of the previous years."
"I hope Queen Mother thinks the same way." Kangxi sighed, put his arms around Tian Mi's shoulders, and the two looked at the Queen Mother's remains side by side.
Kangxi couldn't help but wipe out his ⑺ longing
"After so many years, when I am old, I have been thinking, who am I sorry in my life? After thinking about it, I didn't feel sorry for the courtiers outside, nor did the clansmen next to me, but only In the inner palace, I am sorry for you."
Tian Mi turned her head to look at his face, and Kangxi continued, "I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the Hesheli family, and I'm sorry for the Niu Gulu family. When I gave you a promise but didn't fulfill it, I let you down again and again..."
"It's all over."
Kangxi shook his head, but he didn't mention the important point, which was that Kangxi didn't want girls from the Tong family to have children.In the early years, my cousin was crazy about wanting a child, but Kangxi just didn't agree.
"I did something that I'm sorry for you, but you treat me as always. It's ashamed to think about it now, so...
Tian Mi felt that he might have been stimulated by the Queen Mother's death, so she couldn't help wrapping her arms around his waist, and gently rubbed his heart a few times with the other hand, "Don't think so much, think so It’s not good for your health. You’re tired these days. Go to sleep and drink some ginseng soup later. Watching the spirit is also a physical effort. Don’t even think about getting married and keeping a filial piety. If I say something, don’t be annoyed , you are getting older now, and you are not as good as you were back then, so take care of yourself and don't be brave."
"You're right, you're indeed old, you shouldn't be brave anymore, so in the future, the two of us will spend more time together, and I won't care about the country's affairs, I-Ke..." He bowed his head in Tian Mi's ear , said it in a very low voice, "Bring the position."
The expression on Tian Mi's face changed after listening to it, who did she pass it on to?
But Kangxi didn't.⑺Yan Haiyou Panxia said that Kangxi himself couldn't make up his mind to whom to pass on the position.
Tian Mi's heart beat like a drum, "Why did you tell me such an important matter?"
"Now that the Queen Mother has passed away, you have seen what I looked like just now. If something happens to me, you will be the only one who presides over the overall situation."
The truth is this, but when the brothers use knives in the Forbidden City, they really won't listen to Tian Mi.
"This...!" Tian Mi was a little flustered when the matter came to a head, "Cousin, this matter is very important, I'm afraid it won't work well, so don't tell me."
"Show off your aura of rectifying the Ministry of Internal Affairs, don't worry, many of these children accept your favor, and if there are thorns who are disobedient, they will naturally listen to you and take care of the thorns. This is also done out of desperation, I try my best to hold on, and try not to let you intervene in this kind of thing."
Tian Mi wanted to say something more, but at this time someone called out from outside the door, "Ma'am, it's time to change the queen mother's clothes."
This is Fuquan's Fujin. She went to fetch the shroud with Chang Ning's daughter-in-law just now.
Kangxi put his hand on Tian Mi's shoulder, "You know this matter, I know it, don't let a third person know it, tell you, you can keep this matter in your heart. You have to have a score in your heart, and if the time comes It’s true that nothing can be violated, and you know what to do.”
After speaking, he looked at the queen mother on the bier, turned around and backed out.
Outside the door were not only the two princes Fujin, but also the female relatives of each prince's residence.
They rushed to the palace in a very short time, and Kangxi didn't have anything to say to them, so he turned around and left the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Walking to the courtyard of the Compassionate Palace, he heard the death knell coming from the turrets at the four corners of the palace city.
These wives entered the palace together, unfolded the shroud, several people went up to check, and then brought clean water to the queen mother to wash.
After the queen mother passed away, everything else can be handled according to the procedures, but there is one thing that cannot be avoided.
That is whether to release the eldest, second and eighth children to the queen mother to cry.
There are a lot of people who have this question, but few dare to ask Kangxi, even these princes pretend that they can't think of such a thing.
They can pretend, but Yarjan can't.
Yaerjiang found Yang Dan, looked left and right to see if there was no one, and Yaerjiang couldn't help pouring out the bitter water.
"Those old things are too much. They relied on their age and seniority to hand over all these bad things to me. They asked me to ask the emperor if he would release the deposed prince and the others. You said brother Do you want to ask?"
Yang Dan knew Kangxi quite well, so he would definitely release these brothers, but he would not release them publicly. At most, he would let them take advantage of the night to put incense on the Queen Mother and cry a few times.
He couldn't help turning his head to look at Yarjiang A, "By the way, why did they ask you to ask? If you don't ask this question well, the emperor will think that you are one of their accomplices."
"Who says it's not, but I'm the Zong Ling, and I'm in charge of the clan's mansion. If I don't raise this matter, I will be dereliction of duty. After all, those who are imprisoned also belong to the descendants of our Aixinjueluo family... ..."
After Yang Dan heard it, "Since you think so, then go ahead, don't ask in front of others, just ask quietly in private."
"Then what do you think I should ask? Do you think this is okay? 'Your Majesty, I don't know how you arranged for the other three masters. When will you allow them to cry?'"
Yang Dan nodded perfunctorily, "It's fine to ask like that, don't beat around the bush, just ask directly."
Yaerjiang thought in his heart, can he ask directly?Everyone knows that the old man, the emperor, has been in a bad mood recently. If he asked directly, without any foreshadowing, the old man would get annoyed and ask someone to kick him out.Getting beaten up is a trivial matter, so I'm afraid that the emperor and his old man will think too much about it.
"Help me think of another way of saying..." Before Yaerjiang'a finished speaking, he saw officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs hurried over, and they came to ask Yang Dan to check the candles.
Because Yang Dan has always given people the impression of being idle, the fourth elder brother couldn't understand it, so he specifically discussed with Tian Mi and asked Yang Dan to take care of Tian Mi⒗.
⒗ He was really a fat job, and many people were envious of him at that time.Let Yang Dan say that this is a hard job, his usual workload is already so heavy, and he has to take on several jobs and then stare at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so Eniang still feels that there is something wrong with her, why doesn't she like soft girls.
I'm so tired that I don't have the energy to take a second look at even the most beautiful girl in front of me.
Yang Danwu bid farewell to Yaerjiang'a, and followed the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the warehouse.
Yaerjiang took a deep breath, ⑻ the emperor was watching the memorial, so he quietly went to see him.
No matter how busy and tired he was, or when something important happened, Kangxi still did not leave the matter of governance behind.At this time, I was dealing with the matter at hand. When I heard that Yaerjiang Ah was here, I already thought of the purpose of Yaerjiang Ah's coming here, so I nodded and asked someone to bring him in.
"Tell me, what are you here for?"
Yaerjiang Alai had already prepared a draft in his heart on the way, but he didn't expect the emperor to ask directly. In his anxiety, he forgot all the words just thought, so he could only answer tremblingly, "The death of the empress dowager is a big event. The other three masters...are locked up, should they come out to offer incense?"
Kangxi raised his head and glanced at Yaerjiang, seeing Yaerjiang's back turned cold, and regretted not falling down in his heart, he shouldn't have asked such a question.
Kangxi nodded, "Of course we want them to come over, but this matter can't be done with great fanfare, you go worry about it."
After hearing this, Yaerjiang breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately raised his heart, "What do you mean..."
"You take the three of them over quietly at night, and you can handle the rest yourself."
The words were not so clear, Yaerjiang thought about it for a long time, agreed and went out slowly.
After dark, the princes were notified to go to dinner, but none of them stayed in the mourning hall.And the masters of the palaces outside the palace returned to the palace from the palace to recharge their batteries and wait for tomorrow to continue crying.
At this time, Yarjan had to go to pick up people in a carriage.
Yuan Yawai's old eighth and the boss picked up, Yaerjiang A was at the time for the sake of convenience Luan urged Xi Shun Falcon to die. The old eighth heard that the queen mother had passed away, so he just nodded. , he confirmed with the soldiers guarding the gate that the empress dowager had passed away.
So the husband and wife changed their clothes, and Lao Ba sat quietly, waiting for someone from the palace to pick him up.
After arriving in the carriage, the carriage walked for a while and arrived at the door of the old family. The boss was already waiting at the door. He came out in a hurry, because he was dressed in white, and it looked like a big white glutinous rice ball rolled out of the door in the dark night. .
Car curtain ⒖, when the boss got into the car, he found the eighth child inside, and immediately retreated. "Ah Yaerjiang, if I change the car for my grandfather, I won't sit with him."
After hearing this, Yaerjiang hurriedly asked someone to find another carriage to come over. These are ancestors, and if they don’t sit together, they won’t sit together. It's a layer of guilt.
While waiting for the carriage, the eighth brother teased the eldest brother, "Why doesn't the elder brother get in the carriage? Could it be that there is a ghost in his heart? A frank person is always frank, don't you think so?"
"Bah, let me tell you, old man, you sold me out, and you're still here to speak frankly at this moment. I'm sitting with you because I think you're dirty!"
At this time, the carriage came, and Yaerjiang hurriedly pushed the boss into another car. He was afraid that he would talk too much after a while.
After finally sending the two ancestors to the palace, Yaerjiang wiped the cold sweat off his brow and hurried to the East Palace to pick up the deposed prince.The waste prince was also ready. He didn't use a carriage at all, but put on a white cloak over his mourning clothes, and the wide hat covered half of his face. He followed Yarjana from the East Palace to the Compassionate Ning Palace. .
When the waste prince came, the boss and the eighth brother had already burned incense, and the three brothers met in the mourning hall, the waste prince pretended not to see these two people, went up to burn a stick of incense, and then burst into tears.
The crying sound was pathetic, and the boss couldn't help but kicked his leg, "Okay, don't cry, the old lady loves you the most, and you are crying so badly now, she thought she did something to you , if the old lady didn't go far, it would definitely be unsafe to hear you cry like this. Do something good and let the old lady go away more happily. "
The waste prince had no choice but to bear it, it was too painful, and he was still sobbing in his throat.
At this time, a person came out from behind a white screen. Kangxi was wearing a white dragon robe and held a candle in his hand. When he saw the three brothers, his expression was neither sad nor happy.
"Since you're here, I'll let you see the queen mother for the last time."
After Kangxi finished speaking, he turned around and went indoors with a candle in his hand. The three of them knew they wanted to follow, but the waste prince had been kneeling for a long time, and when he got up, he fell a few times, and the boss stretched out his hand to help him.The deposed prince shook off his hand, and the three of them followed Kangxi.
The queen mother has finished grooming and is lying in the coffin.
The tears of the eldest and the second child fell down, and the two brothers kept wiping away their tears.Lao Ba had no expression on his face, he stepped forward to take a look and then backed away.
The whole process was like an invisible man, Lao Ba was very calm about this matter.This made Kangxi furious, and the old lady was terrified because of this beast.But now that the man has passed away, this little thing has never seen him cry, nor has he made any sad actions.The whole thing is like an outsider.
The more he thought about it, the angrier Kangxi became, pinching the candlestick with his fingers until his knuckles turned white.The more I feel in my heart, this child is a wolf.
After the boss and the second child calmed down, Kangxi called Yaerjiang Ah in, "They have also been incensed, and they have seen the last side of the Queen Mother, let the boss and the eighth leave now."
After hearing this, the boss couldn't help crying, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Kangxi, "My son has gone back, take care of yourself. You must be sad after the queen mother left, but I beg you to think more about it." Thinking of everyone, this big family still depends on you."
After finishing speaking, he got up and wiped his tears. No matter what, Kangxi felt somewhat comforted by these few words.And Lao Ba didn't speak the whole time, but knelt down and kowtowed, took a few steps back, and waited to leave.
After the boss finished crying, the two brothers turned and left the mourning hall.
The deposed prince was left here, Kangxi looked at this son, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Outside the capital, Zhengjiazhuang has repaired the yard for you. After the old lady's matter is over, you can move out."
The waste prince didn't speak, but just nodded.
Holding the candlestick in his hand, Kangxi hesitated, but he still said, "Among you brothers, which one do you think is worthy of the big job?"
After hearing this, the waste prince couldn't help but look up at Kangxi, and the father and son looked at each other.
The waste prince lowered his head, "Among these brothers, you may be satisfied with some of them. It's just that no one is perfect, and they have obvious advantages and disadvantages." After finishing speaking, the waste prince smiled slightly, "As for Who can take over? You just have to do the opposite of your son. This is not a resentment, but a conclusion that you have come to after repeated calculations in your heart a few years ago."
Kangxi couldn't help asking: "Why choose the prince now based on the conclusions drawn in the past few years?"
"I remember reading an allusion when I was a child. It is said that Wei Ke did not let a concubine be buried according to his father's dying order. He thought that his father was not clear-headed when he was dying, and it may not be out of intention. So he According to his father's previous instructions, he married this concubine. At this time, my son, like Wei Ke, felt that you were clear-headed a few years ago, but the more you went on, the more confused you became. So these few years Ideas can’t be counted.”
This statement undoubtedly angered Kangxi, "You mean that the older I get, the more confused I become, and it would also be a foolish thing to abolish your crown prince, right?"
"You abolished my crown prince. It's not a matter of confusion. But you have become a loner in recent years. This reminds my son of Xiang Yu. When he was surrounded by enemies, the overlord of Chu had already developed a cowardly heart. He could have Going back to Jiangdong and making a comeback, he was frightened by Chu Ge overnight, and finally committed suicide by the river. That is to say, the decision made by a person who is frightened may not be correct."
Kangxi snorted coldly, he knew in his heart that what Prince Fei said was right, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Yinfeng, you!"
When you are a prince, you will always be stupid, and when you are not a prince, you will always understand.
And Tian Mi also felt that this happened too quickly. After some people suffer from dementia, they always live well for a long period of time, and can eat and sleep in all kinds of ways.However, the queen mother was not. It took the queen mother only half a year from dementia to being bedridden and finally falling into a coma.
After the new year, everything recovered, and many people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. After all, the elderly can survive the winter. As long as nothing happens in this winter, they can live for another year at least.
However, by spring, the queen mother had often fallen into a coma, and the vitality in her was gone.Those ignorant children are not willing to come to the Queen Mother.In the words of these children, the queen mother has a smell.
And people with more life experience can find that this is already a precursor to the decline of the Queen Mother's body.
People still have a breath, the body is no longer good, this reality is not good.
His parents died when he was young, and he lived with his grandmother.The relationship with this aunt was not good at first, but after time passed, those old people left one by one, and the relationship between the mother and son improved.
After these years, Kangxi was heartbroken by these sons, and he was particularly eager to treat those cares and affections that were not mixed with the slightest purpose, and the queen mother could give him this kind of care, but she never thought about getting other things from the emperor.
Therefore, the queen mother who is usually cheerful and can be coaxed dizzy by the younger generation is a very qualified aunt in Kangxi's eyes.
A queen mother who doesn't care about anything and a strong king, the two live in peace, and their relationship grows day by day.So when the Queen Mother was dying, Kangxi couldn't help being moved.
After the beginning of spring, the Empress Dowager's condition took a turn for the worse. Seeing that she was dying, Kangxi directly moved his belongings to the Palace of Compassion.
No matter what time it is, as long as there is a change on the Queen Mother's side, he can come at a gallop, and sometimes even live in the Compassionate Ning Palace to take care of the Queen Mother.
Tian Mi watched from the side, and had to say that Kangxi's behavior moved Tian Mi very much.Kangxi didn't do it for fame, but because he really didn't want to part with this empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager woke up less and less, and every time she woke up, Kangxi would rush over to chat with her, but the old man was already demented, and sometimes he didn't even know the people in front of him.
Once he woke up, and he was still on the grassland in his memory. Seeing these people in front of him felt very strange, clamoring to go home, crying and making noise.After being tired, he fell asleep again, and when he woke up and saw Kangxi, he couldn't help frowning.
"...You said you are Xuan Ye? That's not true, Xuan Ye is a child, don't coax me here."
Just this sentence made Kangxi burst into tears. The queen mother not only thought of Kangxi when she was a child, but also Fuquan when she was a child, and once even clamored to see Fuquan.However, Fuquan has passed away for several years, and bringing up those who have passed away will only add to the sadness of the living.
In this way, a few months later, it was moved from the Palace of Compassion to Peace to Changchun Garden, and at the end of autumn, it was moved from Changchun Garden to Palace of Compassion and Ning. The Empress Dowager could not even speak.
Everyone has the feeling in their hearts that the Empress Dowager is only a few days away.
So at this time, no matter who it is, everyone has raised their spirits, and many people have secretly prepared plain clothes.Tian Mi also quietly ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare white cloth.
The Empress Dowager has a lot of things, some things are to be buried with her, and it would be too flustered to sort them out after death, so these things have to be sorted out in advance.
If a funeral is going to be held, the joss sticks and paper horses to be used at that time must be well prepared. Don’t even find a stick of incense when the time comes. According to Kangxi’s urination, if someone dares to do such a thing at the Empress Dowager’s funeral Well, he can pull people out and take them outside the Meridian Gate to chop off their heads.
Kangxi's mood has been difficult to figure out recently, so these princes are all ⑵ spirited.
Especially the third child, he has been doing some inappropriate things at the funeral.
He has too many dark histories, such as wearing red at someone's funeral, and shaving his head not long after his thirteenth mother's burial... What he has done even feels dizzy, and he is worried that something will happen again.So the couple had already prepared things several months ago.
In order to prevent further mistakes at that time, the third child's wife gave instructions to all the servants of the third child, telling them to keep their eyes open and stare at the third child, and not to do anything annoying.
Except for the third child, other families also got ready. The fourth elder brother's family found out the white cloth because the children grew up fast, and waited for the time to do things and directly made clothes for the children.
Because the fifth child was raised by the queen mother, the boy in the family will be accompanied by the fifth child, so everything for the father and son must be prepared in advance.
After all, the relationship between the fifth child and the queen mother is not pretended. The fifth child must actively deal with the death of the queen mother because of emotion, but the more grand the funeral, the more physical strength of these filial sons and grandsons will be tested.Lao Wu is not young anymore, he is almost forty, if he stays up all night crying non-stop, coupled with too much sadness, Lao Wu will really faint.
So the children of their family have to follow him. If the fifth child faints, they need to take care of the fifth child.
Not to mention these people below the seventh child.
Everyone has been mentally prepared. Although Kangxi is sad, he also knows that life, old age, sickness and death cannot be interfered by the emperor in the world. These days, he guards the queen mother every day. The queen mother has been lethargic for a long time, and the water rice does not stick to the teeth. After eating, the middle is full of ginseng soup.
She woke up suddenly this morning, her face looked a lot ruddy, and there was some radiance in her eyes.
Everyone knew that it was time to return to the light, so Kangxi quickly surrounded him.
"Emperor mother?"
However, the old lady did not regain her senses, and looked at the people in front of her with suspicious eyes, but did not recognize who was who.
She just opened her mouth, "Where's the meal?"
The maids quickly brought up a bowl of porridge. Kangxi took the bowl with trembling hands and stirred it with a spoon.
Everyone knew that this was the old lady's last meal, Tian Mi asked Kangxi in a low voice: "Do you want to have a banquet?"
Kangxi nodded, and when he looked up again, there was an ugly smile on his face, "Emperor Niang, let's eat whatever we like later."
Scooped a spoonful of porridge with a silver spoon and blew it to the old lady. The old lady hadn't eaten for several days. After a spoonful of porridge went down, she patted the quilt with her hands happily, "It's delicious, this is delicious."
The kitchen had already been prepared, and the eunuchs quickly brought over the trays, and set a table full of banquets on the outside table.
At this time, the princes also arrived, and Fujin from various prefectures outside the house were waiting to be summoned.
Tian Mi, Fuquan's Fujin, and Changning's Fujin helped the old lady off the bed and let her sit upright at the table. The three of them held empty bowls and chopsticks. Tian Mi asked the old lady: "The emperor Er Niang, which one do you like?"
The old lady pointed to the eight-treasure glutinous rice with her fingers happily. This food was a bit indigestible, so Tian Mi dared to pick up a little bit with chopsticks and put it in a bowl to feed her.
The old lady pointed to the big braised carp on the table again. Fuquan's Fujin picked a piece of meat from the belly of the fish with chopsticks, carefully removed the bone and fed it to the old lady.
Chang Ning's Fujin sandwiched cold lotus root slices, and a deep-fried quail egg with chopsticks and fed it to the Queen Mother.
The old lady's appetite was very good today, she ate a little of every dish, and drank half a bowl of soup.
24 dishes, she tasted each one.
In the end, he couldn't forget the plate of mutton, "This is good, let me eat some more of this."
The old lady had already eaten a lot, and she must have been able to hold on normally. Chang Ning Fujin, who was in charge of serving dishes, looked at Tian Mi in embarrassment, and Tian Mi turned to look at Kangxi who was sitting on the other side of the table.
Kangxi nodded, and Tian Mi personally picked up a piece of tender mutton with chopsticks and fed it to the old lady.
At this time, a beef soup was brought in from the outside. The beef was cut into pieces to make a soup, and some sesame oil and vinegar were added in it, which made people appetite after smelling it.
The old lady had already smelled the smell, she was chewing the mutton in her mouth, and her eyes were already on the meat soup.
Lao Wu took the pot of meat soup and put it on the table, took some out with a spoon and let it cool down, then knelt down and fed it to the old lady.
The old lady drank a bowl and patted her stomach contentedly, "I'm full, I'm not hungry anymore."
After eating and drinking enough, looking at Lao Wu who was still kneeling next to him, he couldn't help asking: "Who are you?"
Before Lao Wu could speak, Brother Ten couldn't bear it any longer. He sniffed his nose vigorously and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.
There was too much movement, Kangxi looked back at him.
The old lady stood up and walked around the room twice. Everyone had lifted the dining table down, and the space in the middle of the room was larger. She walked around a few times in front of these children and grandchildren, stretched her waist, and walked slowly. He lay back on the bed, pulled the quilt, and closed his eyes contentedly.
As a daughter-in-law, Tian Mi and her two sisters-in-law hurriedly covered her with a quilt, and the old lady stretched out her hand and took Tian Mi's hand and confessed: "Tomorrow we will eat like this."
"Yes," Tian Mi nodded.
The old lady was relieved now, she obediently put her hands on her stomach, closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep with a smile on her lips.
Falling asleep, breathing slowed down, Chang Ning's Fujin heard something was wrong, she quickly poked Tian Mi with her hand, Tian Mi found that the old lady's chest was rising and falling too slowly, she quickly turned her head to look at Kangxi, Kangxi stood up and ran to the bed forward.
Then he put his hand in front of the old lady's nose, and quickly put the other hand on the old lady's neck.
There is no need for an imperial doctor to confirm, Kangxi knows that the old lady has passed.
He took a step back and knelt down, no matter men, women or children in the room knelt down together, the princes fell to the ground and cried loudly, and the maids and eunuchs outside, as well as the dignitaries and Fujin from various palaces and mansions, also cried.
After crying for a while, the youngest climbed up behind Kangxi from the ground, "Huang Ama, please give me your condolences. The empress dowager has gone, so I have to worry about the affairs behind her. Now the empress dowager's son is only Huang Ama. It's time for you to worry, so you must hold on."
Although the words are good words and that's what they mean, but they sound so unpleasant.
When the fourth prince was crying, he heard the third child say this, and looked at the third child while wiping his tears with his sleeve.
Kangxi didn't care about the words and sentences of the third son, but he was ⒍ed by the third sentence. Yes, Kangxi is the only son of the empress dowager, even if he is not his own, but the empress dowager is the mother. He was a concubine before, regardless of whether the mother and son are related by blood, but in terms of patriarchal clan, Kangxi is indeed the empress dowager's son.
Thinking of this, Kangxi couldn't help feeling uncomfortable in his heart, his heart twitched slightly from the shock of sadness, at this moment his eyes went dark, and he felt dizzy.
He couldn't support himself all of a sudden and rushed forward, the princes behind screamed, those who were as close as the third, fourth, fifth, and seventh, surrounded him, and helped Kangxi up with all his might stand up.
Kangxi's sudden dizziness made his head hurt like a needle prick, the pain was too sharp, and the twitching feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger one after another.
Seeing that his face was pale and his lips were purple, Tian Mi knew that he might be suffering from an illness, so she quickly came to Kangxi, took out the pill from his pouch, and stuffed it into Kangxi's mouth quickly, ignoring his secrets in front of the princes. inside.
The pill melted in the mouth, and after a while, Kangxi let out a slight breath.
At this juncture, everyone didn't dare to ask at all, and the princes retreated obediently, laying obediently on the ground, as if they hadn't seen anything.
Tian Mi rubbed Kangxi's heart with her hand, and Wei Zhu brought another glass of boiled water for Kangxi to drink.
Kangxi shook his head at Tian Mi, telling her not to worry too much.
"What the third brother said is right, the empress dowager's funeral should be done. I will live in Song, and guard the spirit of the empress dowager."
As soon as this sentence was finished, the princes were crying in the back again. Tian Mi couldn't help but want to persuade Kangxi, your body is already like this, don't worry about it, keeping the spirit is very hard, you still have to Live in a hut.
To live in a hut is to build a straw hut with some hay spread inside. The harder it is, the more sincere it becomes.Now that it’s autumn, sooner or later there will be dew, and there will be no quilt, and the dew will stain your clothes, and people will get sick again, isn’t it not worth the loss.
"Cousin, the empress dowager passed away peacefully. If she knew you were so sad, she might miss you too. Let him go away without any worries." You'd better not go to live in a hut.
Kangxi shook his head, "The empress dowager thinks about me, but I feel uneasy when I think of her old man...not being filial to me all her life. The empress dowager has not received much benefit from our family, but she is heartbroken for this group of evildoers."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at the princes, "Don't kneel down, this is a big deal for our family, get up, and do what you need to do, you discuss it and get it done."
Now that Kangxi said so, the funeral has entered the process, and the clan members outside the palace will come in and cry for the spirit. Where to stop the spirit and where to sacrifice must be arranged in advance.
Because of the preparations made some time ago, these places have been divided, and now the first thing is to tear the white cloth to make filial piety clothes, and the filial sons will start to wear white.
In addition, there is a letter to the mother's family of the Mongolian queen mother, asking them to come and see the queen mother for the last time.And these princesses and princesses who married to Mongolia will also come back to cry.This funeral cannot be completed in ten days and half a month. It takes a month, and it takes three months to complete the matter.
The following days will be difficult, and everyone is mentally prepared.
The princes retreated, and a large area was vacated in the room.The Fujins also retreated, and even the concubines retreated from this room.
After the people in the room retreated, Tian Mi supported Kangxi to stand up.The two supported each other and came to the Empress Dowager's bed. The Empress Dowager's expression looked calm and kind, with the satisfaction of being full of wine and food, it could be seen that it was not painful to leave.
Kangxi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Emperor Niang came to our house, but she didn't really enjoy many blessings, but she was trembling in the early years."
"You can't say that. After you ascended the throne, you will be taken care of by the Empress Dowager, and you will be filially treated by us juniors. The peace in the past few decades is enough to make up for the worries and fears of the previous years."
"I hope Queen Mother thinks the same way." Kangxi sighed, put his arms around Tian Mi's shoulders, and the two looked at the Queen Mother's remains side by side.
Kangxi couldn't help but wipe out his ⑺ longing
"After so many years, when I am old, I have been thinking, who am I sorry in my life? After thinking about it, I didn't feel sorry for the courtiers outside, nor did the clansmen next to me, but only In the inner palace, I am sorry for you."
Tian Mi turned her head to look at his face, and Kangxi continued, "I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the Hesheli family, and I'm sorry for the Niu Gulu family. When I gave you a promise but didn't fulfill it, I let you down again and again..."
"It's all over."
Kangxi shook his head, but he didn't mention the important point, which was that Kangxi didn't want girls from the Tong family to have children.In the early years, my cousin was crazy about wanting a child, but Kangxi just didn't agree.
"I did something that I'm sorry for you, but you treat me as always. It's ashamed to think about it now, so...
Tian Mi felt that he might have been stimulated by the Queen Mother's death, so she couldn't help wrapping her arms around his waist, and gently rubbed his heart a few times with the other hand, "Don't think so much, think so It’s not good for your health. You’re tired these days. Go to sleep and drink some ginseng soup later. Watching the spirit is also a physical effort. Don’t even think about getting married and keeping a filial piety. If I say something, don’t be annoyed , you are getting older now, and you are not as good as you were back then, so take care of yourself and don't be brave."
"You're right, you're indeed old, you shouldn't be brave anymore, so in the future, the two of us will spend more time together, and I won't care about the country's affairs, I-Ke..." He bowed his head in Tian Mi's ear , said it in a very low voice, "Bring the position."
The expression on Tian Mi's face changed after listening to it, who did she pass it on to?
But Kangxi didn't.⑺Yan Haiyou Panxia said that Kangxi himself couldn't make up his mind to whom to pass on the position.
Tian Mi's heart beat like a drum, "Why did you tell me such an important matter?"
"Now that the Queen Mother has passed away, you have seen what I looked like just now. If something happens to me, you will be the only one who presides over the overall situation."
The truth is this, but when the brothers use knives in the Forbidden City, they really won't listen to Tian Mi.
"This...!" Tian Mi was a little flustered when the matter came to a head, "Cousin, this matter is very important, I'm afraid it won't work well, so don't tell me."
"Show off your aura of rectifying the Ministry of Internal Affairs, don't worry, many of these children accept your favor, and if there are thorns who are disobedient, they will naturally listen to you and take care of the thorns. This is also done out of desperation, I try my best to hold on, and try not to let you intervene in this kind of thing."
Tian Mi wanted to say something more, but at this time someone called out from outside the door, "Ma'am, it's time to change the queen mother's clothes."
This is Fuquan's Fujin. She went to fetch the shroud with Chang Ning's daughter-in-law just now.
Kangxi put his hand on Tian Mi's shoulder, "You know this matter, I know it, don't let a third person know it, tell you, you can keep this matter in your heart. You have to have a score in your heart, and if the time comes It’s true that nothing can be violated, and you know what to do.”
After speaking, he looked at the queen mother on the bier, turned around and backed out.
Outside the door were not only the two princes Fujin, but also the female relatives of each prince's residence.
They rushed to the palace in a very short time, and Kangxi didn't have anything to say to them, so he turned around and left the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Walking to the courtyard of the Compassionate Palace, he heard the death knell coming from the turrets at the four corners of the palace city.
These wives entered the palace together, unfolded the shroud, several people went up to check, and then brought clean water to the queen mother to wash.
After the queen mother passed away, everything else can be handled according to the procedures, but there is one thing that cannot be avoided.
That is whether to release the eldest, second and eighth children to the queen mother to cry.
There are a lot of people who have this question, but few dare to ask Kangxi, even these princes pretend that they can't think of such a thing.
They can pretend, but Yarjan can't.
Yaerjiang found Yang Dan, looked left and right to see if there was no one, and Yaerjiang couldn't help pouring out the bitter water.
"Those old things are too much. They relied on their age and seniority to hand over all these bad things to me. They asked me to ask the emperor if he would release the deposed prince and the others. You said brother Do you want to ask?"
Yang Dan knew Kangxi quite well, so he would definitely release these brothers, but he would not release them publicly. At most, he would let them take advantage of the night to put incense on the Queen Mother and cry a few times.
He couldn't help turning his head to look at Yarjiang A, "By the way, why did they ask you to ask? If you don't ask this question well, the emperor will think that you are one of their accomplices."
"Who says it's not, but I'm the Zong Ling, and I'm in charge of the clan's mansion. If I don't raise this matter, I will be dereliction of duty. After all, those who are imprisoned also belong to the descendants of our Aixinjueluo family... ..."
After Yang Dan heard it, "Since you think so, then go ahead, don't ask in front of others, just ask quietly in private."
"Then what do you think I should ask? Do you think this is okay? 'Your Majesty, I don't know how you arranged for the other three masters. When will you allow them to cry?'"
Yang Dan nodded perfunctorily, "It's fine to ask like that, don't beat around the bush, just ask directly."
Yaerjiang thought in his heart, can he ask directly?Everyone knows that the old man, the emperor, has been in a bad mood recently. If he asked directly, without any foreshadowing, the old man would get annoyed and ask someone to kick him out.Getting beaten up is a trivial matter, so I'm afraid that the emperor and his old man will think too much about it.
"Help me think of another way of saying..." Before Yaerjiang'a finished speaking, he saw officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs hurried over, and they came to ask Yang Dan to check the candles.
Because Yang Dan has always given people the impression of being idle, the fourth elder brother couldn't understand it, so he specifically discussed with Tian Mi and asked Yang Dan to take care of Tian Mi⒗.
⒗ He was really a fat job, and many people were envious of him at that time.Let Yang Dan say that this is a hard job, his usual workload is already so heavy, and he has to take on several jobs and then stare at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so Eniang still feels that there is something wrong with her, why doesn't she like soft girls.
I'm so tired that I don't have the energy to take a second look at even the most beautiful girl in front of me.
Yang Danwu bid farewell to Yaerjiang'a, and followed the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the warehouse.
Yaerjiang took a deep breath, ⑻ the emperor was watching the memorial, so he quietly went to see him.
No matter how busy and tired he was, or when something important happened, Kangxi still did not leave the matter of governance behind.At this time, I was dealing with the matter at hand. When I heard that Yaerjiang Ah was here, I already thought of the purpose of Yaerjiang Ah's coming here, so I nodded and asked someone to bring him in.
"Tell me, what are you here for?"
Yaerjiang Alai had already prepared a draft in his heart on the way, but he didn't expect the emperor to ask directly. In his anxiety, he forgot all the words just thought, so he could only answer tremblingly, "The death of the empress dowager is a big event. The other three masters...are locked up, should they come out to offer incense?"
Kangxi raised his head and glanced at Yaerjiang, seeing Yaerjiang's back turned cold, and regretted not falling down in his heart, he shouldn't have asked such a question.
Kangxi nodded, "Of course we want them to come over, but this matter can't be done with great fanfare, you go worry about it."
After hearing this, Yaerjiang breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately raised his heart, "What do you mean..."
"You take the three of them over quietly at night, and you can handle the rest yourself."
The words were not so clear, Yaerjiang thought about it for a long time, agreed and went out slowly.
After dark, the princes were notified to go to dinner, but none of them stayed in the mourning hall.And the masters of the palaces outside the palace returned to the palace from the palace to recharge their batteries and wait for tomorrow to continue crying.
At this time, Yarjan had to go to pick up people in a carriage.
Yuan Yawai's old eighth and the boss picked up, Yaerjiang A was at the time for the sake of convenience Luan urged Xi Shun Falcon to die. The old eighth heard that the queen mother had passed away, so he just nodded. , he confirmed with the soldiers guarding the gate that the empress dowager had passed away.
So the husband and wife changed their clothes, and Lao Ba sat quietly, waiting for someone from the palace to pick him up.
After arriving in the carriage, the carriage walked for a while and arrived at the door of the old family. The boss was already waiting at the door. He came out in a hurry, because he was dressed in white, and it looked like a big white glutinous rice ball rolled out of the door in the dark night. .
Car curtain ⒖, when the boss got into the car, he found the eighth child inside, and immediately retreated. "Ah Yaerjiang, if I change the car for my grandfather, I won't sit with him."
After hearing this, Yaerjiang hurriedly asked someone to find another carriage to come over. These are ancestors, and if they don’t sit together, they won’t sit together. It's a layer of guilt.
While waiting for the carriage, the eighth brother teased the eldest brother, "Why doesn't the elder brother get in the carriage? Could it be that there is a ghost in his heart? A frank person is always frank, don't you think so?"
"Bah, let me tell you, old man, you sold me out, and you're still here to speak frankly at this moment. I'm sitting with you because I think you're dirty!"
At this time, the carriage came, and Yaerjiang hurriedly pushed the boss into another car. He was afraid that he would talk too much after a while.
After finally sending the two ancestors to the palace, Yaerjiang wiped the cold sweat off his brow and hurried to the East Palace to pick up the deposed prince.The waste prince was also ready. He didn't use a carriage at all, but put on a white cloak over his mourning clothes, and the wide hat covered half of his face. He followed Yarjana from the East Palace to the Compassionate Ning Palace. .
When the waste prince came, the boss and the eighth brother had already burned incense, and the three brothers met in the mourning hall, the waste prince pretended not to see these two people, went up to burn a stick of incense, and then burst into tears.
The crying sound was pathetic, and the boss couldn't help but kicked his leg, "Okay, don't cry, the old lady loves you the most, and you are crying so badly now, she thought she did something to you , if the old lady didn't go far, it would definitely be unsafe to hear you cry like this. Do something good and let the old lady go away more happily. "
The waste prince had no choice but to bear it, it was too painful, and he was still sobbing in his throat.
At this time, a person came out from behind a white screen. Kangxi was wearing a white dragon robe and held a candle in his hand. When he saw the three brothers, his expression was neither sad nor happy.
"Since you're here, I'll let you see the queen mother for the last time."
After Kangxi finished speaking, he turned around and went indoors with a candle in his hand. The three of them knew they wanted to follow, but the waste prince had been kneeling for a long time, and when he got up, he fell a few times, and the boss stretched out his hand to help him.The deposed prince shook off his hand, and the three of them followed Kangxi.
The queen mother has finished grooming and is lying in the coffin.
The tears of the eldest and the second child fell down, and the two brothers kept wiping away their tears.Lao Ba had no expression on his face, he stepped forward to take a look and then backed away.
The whole process was like an invisible man, Lao Ba was very calm about this matter.This made Kangxi furious, and the old lady was terrified because of this beast.But now that the man has passed away, this little thing has never seen him cry, nor has he made any sad actions.The whole thing is like an outsider.
The more he thought about it, the angrier Kangxi became, pinching the candlestick with his fingers until his knuckles turned white.The more I feel in my heart, this child is a wolf.
After the boss and the second child calmed down, Kangxi called Yaerjiang Ah in, "They have also been incensed, and they have seen the last side of the Queen Mother, let the boss and the eighth leave now."
After hearing this, the boss couldn't help crying, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Kangxi, "My son has gone back, take care of yourself. You must be sad after the queen mother left, but I beg you to think more about it." Thinking of everyone, this big family still depends on you."
After finishing speaking, he got up and wiped his tears. No matter what, Kangxi felt somewhat comforted by these few words.And Lao Ba didn't speak the whole time, but knelt down and kowtowed, took a few steps back, and waited to leave.
After the boss finished crying, the two brothers turned and left the mourning hall.
The deposed prince was left here, Kangxi looked at this son, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Outside the capital, Zhengjiazhuang has repaired the yard for you. After the old lady's matter is over, you can move out."
The waste prince didn't speak, but just nodded.
Holding the candlestick in his hand, Kangxi hesitated, but he still said, "Among you brothers, which one do you think is worthy of the big job?"
After hearing this, the waste prince couldn't help but look up at Kangxi, and the father and son looked at each other.
The waste prince lowered his head, "Among these brothers, you may be satisfied with some of them. It's just that no one is perfect, and they have obvious advantages and disadvantages." After finishing speaking, the waste prince smiled slightly, "As for Who can take over? You just have to do the opposite of your son. This is not a resentment, but a conclusion that you have come to after repeated calculations in your heart a few years ago."
Kangxi couldn't help asking: "Why choose the prince now based on the conclusions drawn in the past few years?"
"I remember reading an allusion when I was a child. It is said that Wei Ke did not let a concubine be buried according to his father's dying order. He thought that his father was not clear-headed when he was dying, and it may not be out of intention. So he According to his father's previous instructions, he married this concubine. At this time, my son, like Wei Ke, felt that you were clear-headed a few years ago, but the more you went on, the more confused you became. So these few years Ideas can’t be counted.”
This statement undoubtedly angered Kangxi, "You mean that the older I get, the more confused I become, and it would also be a foolish thing to abolish your crown prince, right?"
"You abolished my crown prince. It's not a matter of confusion. But you have become a loner in recent years. This reminds my son of Xiang Yu. When he was surrounded by enemies, the overlord of Chu had already developed a cowardly heart. He could have Going back to Jiangdong and making a comeback, he was frightened by Chu Ge overnight, and finally committed suicide by the river.
