Chapter 226 The Unruly Princess 76
Jianning asked in confusion: "Master Suo, what does this mean? Do you know the whereabouts of my jade pendant?"
Suo'etu showed a relaxed expression, and said: "So, the third princess admitted that the jade pendant was lost, but the jade pendant is now in the hands of the rebels. If the emperor knows about this, no matter how much the third princess is favored , Your Majesty must also suspect that the third princess is in collusion with the rebels, this is a serious crime of beheading!"
Jianning thought to himself, his so-called anti-thief is the Heaven and Earth Association, right?There have always been organizations in the south of the Yangtze River that opposed the Qing government. Back then, Mao Shiba could not accomplish something as big as robbing the law field by himself, and it was expected that he would unite with the Tiandihui.
Jianning asked inconceivably, "Suo'etu, are you threatening me?"
Suo'etu quickly kowtowed and said: "The old minister dare not, the old minister absolutely dare not, I only hope that the third princess will help the old minister for the prince's sake, if you can survive this calamity, you will be the old minister's great benefactor! Third princess, please think twice, don't bet your own future with the life of the veteran!"
He said he didn't dare, but in fact it was still a threat. What he meant was that if his life was in danger, then her future would also be ruined, right?Jianning never thought that a piece of jade pendant could represent anything, but this Suo'etu actually knew about it, maybe he still colluded with the Jiangnan rebellious party world, so he had to re-examine him.
Jianning stared at him. Suo'etu was obviously the one who had caught her, but he was a little guilty of being stared at.But he was sure that Jianning would not ignore this matter.The jade pendants used by the princes and princesses to prove their identities should have been worn on their bodies every step of the way. Sometimes seeing the jade pendants is equivalent to seeing the real person.And now the jade pendant of the third princess is actually in the hands of the Jiangnan rebels. If this matter is brought before the emperor, she will not be able to clear it even if she jumps into the Yellow River!The emperor has always hated those rebellious parties the most.
What Suo'etu thought was right. If it were someone else, whether it was intentional or unintentional, this mistake would be enough to be threatened.But Jianning is not the case, she doesn't think that the location of her jade pendant can convict her, it's just an object she discarded.But this incident also proved that Suo'etu still kept his hole cards and did not show them. These hidden forces may become hidden dangers after he falls, so it is better to eliminate them all together.So Jianning decided to keep dealing with him as he wished.
She said: "Okay, I will ask the emperor for mercy, as for the result, Suo'etu, you can ask for blessings."
Suo'etu said excitedly: "Old minister, thank you, Your Highness Princess!"
The emperor's thunderous tactics let everyone see that he was deliberately punishing and eradicating Suo Ming and the two parties. Who in this court can make a promise, this person can only be the emperor, not Suo'etu or Mingzhu.But compared with Mingzhu and those who form cliques for personal gain, the emperor treated Suo'etu extrajudicially. Instead of raiding his home and searching his mansion, he just asked him to resign from office to offset his previous merits and demerits.It was a big face for him.
Suo'etu thought with lingering fear: This is due to the third princess begging for mercy in front of the emperor, otherwise, with the emperor's character, he must end up like Mingzhu.Look at Mingzhu, she has been squatting in the sky prison!The emperor has already said that he will not kill Mingzhu, but let him live his life in prison.
With what he has done, being able to save this life is the best situation for Suo'etu so far.The crown prince is still his grandson, and the prince's seat is secure. As long as Suo'etu is still alive, as long as he survives Kangxi and the prince ascends the throne, he will have a chance to make a comeback.And when others saw that the emperor was only doing extrajudicial favors to Suo'etu, they naturally didn't dare to add insult to injury.
This year, the officialdom experienced great fluctuations, and the ministers who were in charge of cabinet affairs in the study room also underwent a major reshuffle.Guo Xiu, Yu Chenglong and other new blood were injected into Shangshufang, and Zhou Peigong was appointed as the new Minister of Consul, Health and Internal Affairs, and became a veritable Prime Minister of Zhou.
The crown prince, eldest elder brother, third elder brother, and fourth elder brother, the princes who have grown up one after another, also entered the court to assist in government affairs.
In today's current situation, when the examiner receives money from Xiaolian, when the military officer eats nothing to get the military salary, some local officials who collect donations dare to add fire consumption to two taels... Corruption and corruption in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty should be blamed. Pain and rectification!
So when Kangxi asked several adult sons who participated in politics to choose one of the six departments to go to practice, with the idea of doing a big career in his heart, the prince directly chose the official department.This is what others want to choose but dare not choose.
As we all know, the emperor wants to rectify the administration of officials, but these old habits and bad habits have been accumulated for a long time, and they existed as early as the Shunzhi Dynasty.Wanting to change does not happen overnight, and it may offend most of the officials in the world.
All the princes wanted to show off their talents in front of the emperor, so naturally they would not choose a thankless place.But for the prince, Jianning taught him since he was a child that when he finds a problem, he should not escape it, but should face it. This kind of malpractice should be eliminated at any time, and should not be left alone, the result of letting it go It will only ruin the country of the Qing Dynasty even more.
The prince felt that no matter how long it took him, he had to straighten out the administration of officials, and he considered it a major event that he did not regret.
Kangxi praised the prince's attitude very much, and the helpers he assigned to him were also capable officials, to assist the prince to make big moves in the official department, and let them let go of their hands and feet to clarify the administration of officials.
Of course, his other sons also immediately expressed their willingness to share the worries of the emperor, but with the prince Zhuyu in front, one really wanted to govern the Qing Dynasty well, and the other were forced to take over to please the father. Under the errand of offending others, comparing the two sides, Kangxi felt that the prince was even more valuable.
Kangxi got the news from Jianning that "Suo'etu and the Anti-Tie Tiandi will have collusion", and asked people to re-investigate Suo'etu's actions over the years, especially the forces cultivated outside Beijing, and found that he really had a relationship with Jiangnan There is a lot of connection in the officialdom, and the headquarters of Tiandihui is rooted in Jiangnan.Since ancient times, it has been said that the officials and bandits belong to the same family, and Kangxi would not believe that they have nothing to do with each other.
Kangxi had eyeliners everywhere. During his first southern tour that year, he captured several small leaders of the Tiandihui, and later released them. Some of these people were instigated by the court.Now those few people have also become the core figures of the Tiandihui. Judging from the news of cooperation with the court, they don't know anything about the existence of Suo'etu, which shows that Suo'etu is very deeply hidden.
But there are also other side evidences that can be seen. For example, the imperial court has been investigating these remnants of the former Ming Dynasty. In recent years, there have been rumors that they entered Nanjing, but the local magistrate will be dismissed and transferred every time he has a clue. What happened was confusing and intriguing.
Who in the imperial court has such great energy, can remove and replace the magistrate at will, as long as you follow the search, it is not difficult to find that the abolition and promotion of the Jiangnan officialdom were almost all controlled by Suo'etu's party before!
The more Kangxi checked, the more he hated Suo'etu and gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear him into pieces.For a rebellious minister and traitor with two hearts like Suo Etu, it is not too much to punish his nine clans if he is directly accused of rebellion.But Kangxi was wary of rats, for fear of hitting the rats and hurting the jade bottle.Suo'etu's many crimes have already let Kangxi know that he has the heart of disobedience, but he is the Queen's mother family after all, if his face is stripped clean, then the prince will not be able to deal with himself. Especially after the elder brothers gradually grow up.
Kangxi can only make people step up to destroy the Tiandihui, because he is going to prepare for the southern tour again.
This southern tour has been his wish for many years.He wants to show the world that since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, after decades of painstaking efforts, now, there is finally a great situation where the world is peaceful and the people live in peace.
He wants to represent the Qing Dynasty and pay homage to the tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so as to regain the hearts of scholars in the south of the Yangtze River.He wants to personally investigate the officials and people in the south of the Yangtze River, visit Nanjing, the land of golden powder in the Six Dynasties, and become an unprecedented co-lord of the Chinese world.He wants to show his national prestige and military strength to the countries in the four directions.When passing through Shandong, he will pay homage to the Confucian temple in order to collect the hearts of scholars from all over the world.
Kangxi thought a lot, a lot. If it is martial arts since he came to the throne to remove Oboi, settle the San Francisco, recover Taiwan, and pacify the northern border troubles Galdan and Tsarist Russia, etc., then this southern tour is his cultural achievement. It is a great achievement, and it is also a dream that he has been trying to realize since he took the throne 30 years ago!
In April of the 32nd year of Kangxi, the emperor's royal driver watched the Jiangnan brigade in person, left Beijing in a mighty way, and marched south.This time Kangxi did not send the prince to supervise the country, but took him with him. In fact, Kangxi took all the elder brothers with him, from the eldest to the thirteenth.
This trip is by dragon boat, which can go directly to the south of the Yangtze River through the canal and the Yellow River. The river control project of the Yellow River has been repaired. Now the river channel is narrow and the flow speed is accelerating. The embankment, the scene of the raging turbid waves, and the river water seemed to have become much clearer.
At this moment, Kangxi was sitting in the big dragon boat, looking at both sides of the Yellow River from the window: he saw lush grass, a piece of verdant green, and a forest behind the bank next to the second river embankment.From the remaining water marks on the embankment, it can be seen that the water level of the river has dropped by at least two feet.After sailing for a few days, thousands of miles of embankment, everywhere is a piece of shade, a piece of green, the river is cheerful, and the grass is like a rug.
Along the way, Kangxi sometimes urged the boat to move forward, sometimes stopped the boat for private visits, and dealt with several major events one after another.From time to time, I met with the old gentry who were stationed there, and listened to the views of the people on the political situation. Wherever I went, there were cheers and praises from all the people.
The common people all said that the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom has produced another wise and sage king.Kangxi was naturally happy when he heard this, but the princes, ministers, and guards who followed him were not happy!
"Auntie! Where are you?!" Hearing the scumbag voice, he knew that Yinxiang was coming. Sure enough, he boarded the building boat, and ran back and forth "dongdongdongdong" after a while, and finally At the stern of the boat, I found Jianning who was fishing, and walked up to her side. Seeing that there were several fish in the bucket next to her, Yinxiang couldn't help but exclaimed.
Jianning said helplessly: "How old are you, why do you still like to yell, you just scared me away from a big fish."
Yinxiang winked her eyes mischievously. Even though Jianning said that, even Yinxiang knew that she had absolutely no intention of blaming her, but rather pampered her deeply. Like the prince, Yinxiang loves running to Jianning's side the most. He said, "Auntie, are we going to eat this fish tonight? Did you cook it yourself?" His appearance made him salivate, looking forward to it.
Jianning did not answer him, but said: "The Yellow River carp is still the most plump at this time, and I will send two to your Huang Ama later."
Yin Xiang thought for a while and said, "Then I will go fishing with my aunt!" After finishing speaking, he asked the maid for a fishing rod, sat side by side with Jian Ning at the stern of the boat, and started fishing.He is used to jumping around and has a quick temper. He has never sat there honestly and fished.
Jianning guessed that he couldn't sit still for long, and sure enough, after a while he twisted his buttocks and started talking again, "Auntie, just now Huang Ama met the old people along the river and asked us to listen in..."
Jianning promised from time to time, but the fishing rod in her hand was frequently bitten by fish. After a while, her bucket was already full, full of fat and big carp, while Yinxiang, a small chatterbox, was still empty. Seeing that Jianning had caught a full bucket, he said, "I think that's enough, let's go back." As he said that, he wanted to help Jianning carry the bucket.
Jianning smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that I wanted to send fish to your Emma? I planned to ask you to send it, but you haven't caught any. When you get to the Imperial Palace, if the Emperor asks about you, what do you want?" How do you answer?"
Yinxiang blushed slightly, and Jianning said: "Keep fishing, don't stop, and when you have caught a bucket, I will send it to your Huang Ama with my own hands." This kid's temper really needs to be tempered , so as not to grow up, and still be so frizzy in front of Kangxi, and cause a catastrophe.
In the afternoon, the other little elder brothers searched everywhere for Xiao Shisan. They heard that he was arrested by the emperor's aunt and was fishing at the stern of the boat. They all came to watch the fun happily. These little devil kings got together and It even shook Jianning's building and boat a few times, which was the result of them not daring to make more mistakes in front of the emperor's aunt and restraining themselves.
In the end, the brothers each took a fishing rod and lined up at the stern of Jianning's boat to catch fish. How could other boats not notice their big battle, so many people lay on the side of the boat to watch lively.
Finally, with the help of several brothers, Yinxiang caught a whole bucket full of fish, and they happily went to present treasures in front of Huang Ama!Kangxi was very happy, these playboys finally had a filial piety towards him, Huang Ama, so there was a whole fish feast that night!In this happy atmosphere, Nanjing City is finally in sight.
Zhang Bonian, governor of Jiangnan, personally led all civil and military officials in Nanjing, and went out of the city ten miles to meet the holy driver.On the spotless concrete royal road, bright yellow silk ribbons fluttered, drums and music sang together, and twenty-four cannons blasted sky-high.All the officials surrounded Kangxi, boarded the newly built high platform, and received the congratulations from all the officials.
After the ceremony was over, Zhang Bonian came forward respectfully and knelt down to salute: "Minister Zhang Bonian, I respectfully welcome Shengan. Please, which palace will the lord wish to visit?"
The layout information of several palaces in the south of the Yangtze River had been presented to the emperor for a long time. Kangxi thought for a while and said, "Just the one in Longtan."
Jianning knew that Kangxi specially chose this palace just to avoid people's eyes and ears.Kangxi had written to Wei Dongting a few months ago, saying that he would stay at Wei Dongting's home during the Southern Tour.I'm afraid that Wei Dongting has already spent all of his family's wealth in order to pick him up, and he may have borrowed a lot of money. After all, it is for the emperor to live in. With his character, he must at least renovate the house.He has followed the emperor's teachings for so many years, dare not take bribes, and has no money to rebuild the garden.
After hearing Jianning's words, Kangxi thought of this level, and decided not to speak out, and asked Wei Dongting to do his best, and after he returned to Beijing, he would make up the money from the private treasury.
Wei Dongting's old father, Wei Chengmo, was Kangxi's enlightening mentor. He was suppressed by Oboi in his early years and returned home. Kangxi missed this master for many years, so this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, no matter what, he must visit Wei. It's in the government, so it's not as convenient as living here.
Together with Kangxi were Jianning and a few elder brothers. When they were away from home, they deliberately didn't bring many people to serve them, so these people were more than enough to live in Wei's mansion.The rest of the officials who came with Yujia lived in the palace, or scattered in various yamen.
Kangxi specially ordered Qin Tianjian to calculate the auspicious day of the zodiac for commemorating the tomb of the Ming Dynasty. It was on the eighth day of May. On this morning, Kangxi set out all his deacons and luanjias and set off for the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
This move made the whole city of Nanjing seething.Thousands of people gather in the streets, who don't want to admire the pomp and demeanor of the emperor's tour, and who don't want to see the grand ceremony where the Qing emperor personally paid homage to the Ming emperor's mausoleum.Especially those veterans of the former Ming Dynasty, those scholars who still cherish the memory of the former Ming Dynasty and insist on the Huayi view, were even more excited to tears.
Where Emperor Kangxi passed by, the common people saluted and worshiped, cheering "Long live, long live".Kangxi, who was dressed in solemn court clothes and sitting in the Luanyu, couldn't help being moved by this scene.Feeling in my heart, this move is the right move!
The ceremony to pay homage to the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty was solemn and solemn. Kangxi performed three kneelings and nine kowtows with incense and butter wine as a courtier.Those who were called to watch the ceremony were all old people in their 70s and [-]s, and all of them had been officials in the Ming Dynasty.After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, although they clearly knew that the land of the Qing Dynasty was taken from Li Zicheng, but after taking it, they did not return it to the descendants of the Zhu family's royal family, and the Manchus themselves became emperors.For this, they are always brooding, thinking of revenge for Daming.Now seeing the emperor of the Qing Dynasty travel thousands of miles to Nanjing to pay homage to the tomb of the Ming Taizu with the ceremony of his courtiers, these unfulfilled people are so moved that they weep bitterly and cannot help themselves.
Kangxi also had a lot of emotion. He thought of the various efforts made by the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty since he entered the customs, and the various difficulties he encountered during his 30 years of reign. In the eyes of others, he is an emperor with infinite glory. This time was not dangerous, and he walked over step by step.It's not easy until today that the country is finally settled, and people's hearts are gradually stabilizing. How much effort has he put in for this.
Now on the top of this isolated peak, next to the dilapidated tomb of the founding ancestor of the former dynasty, he, the later monarch, came to pay homage, and he could deeply understand why the emperor called himself a widow.Because, when you ascend to this position, you will no longer have friends or relatives. The emperor is the ruler of a country first, and everyone regards you as the king first. As for other feelings, they have become indifferent.
Kangxi's eyes swept over the people behind him, and finally settled on a person.He is luckier than Zhu Yuanzhang, luckier than those emperors. He has someone who understands him, believes in him, and can help him without reservation. They even have soul ties, and they are always by his side and will never leave.
Kangxi said in a gentle tone: "Sangege, come here, and join me in offering incense to Emperor Ming Taizu."
Jianning stepped forward according to her words. Today, she is also wearing a court dress to show formality, and she also has delicate makeup on her face.She stepped on the bottom of the flower pot and walked step by step on the ground full of fine gravel.
Looking at Jianning who was slowly approaching, Kangxi felt a little dazed, as if she was wearing the queen's court dress at this moment, and she was approaching him step by step. For a moment, Kangxi forgot to move and stood there blankly.
Jianning saw that he was not in the mood, he had been preparing for so long, just to worship Ming Taizu in front of the world today, and he couldn't let something happen at this time, so Jianning handed it over naturally, Kangxi didn't even think about it He took her hand, as if Kangxi was afraid that she would fall, so he gave a gentleman's support, and the two walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb hand in hand.
The crown prince lit three sticks of incense with his own hands and handed them to Jianning. After Jianning paid homage, they were crown prince, princes and ministers.
Jian Ning also felt a little emotional in her heart, although she knew that the worlds she entered were not continuous, each one was an independent world, even if she met the same person, they still existed in different dimensions, and it was impossible for them to be exactly the same.But in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb, she couldn't help but think of the past when she led Mingjiao to fight against Yuan soldiers. In a blink of an eye, the "old man" she personally crowned has been buried here, and her existence will continue.
Before Kangxi came to the south, Wei Dongting had already brought people to destroy the Heaven and Earth Society hiding in Nanjing. Because some people cooperated with each other, almost none of those rebellious parties slipped through the net, and all of them were arrested and brought to justice.
Several long-planned major events were successfully completed, and Kangxi was very excited. He took Jianning to play in Nanjing to his heart's content.What Mochoufu, Xuanwu Lake, Jiming Temple, Swallow Mountain, Stone City, Qingliang Mountain, Qinhuai Night Ferry, Peach Leaf Linliu, sometimes one place a day, sometimes two or three places a day, go around again!
They had fun and had a good time, but Wei Dongting suffered a lot, he was busy day and night, and spent his entire family.
On this day, Kangxi did not come to call Jianning abnormally, but went out by himself. Jianning would not be surprised if someone else was busy with official duties in the Wei Mansion, but he went out alone. Kangxi promised her that he would take her to play All over Nanjing City.He also said that he did not forget to call her in every scenic spot, which made Jianning, who has a keen intuition, perceive a different taste.
Jianning asked the people who stayed behind: "Where did the emperor go?"
If it were someone else, they would not dare to inquire about the emperor's whereabouts easily, but Jianning always asked whenever he wanted, and he didn't have so many scruples.
Zhang Tingyu didn't dare not answer her, "Go back to the princess, the emperor has gone to Longtan Palace."
Jianning couldn't help frowning, the Longtan Palace is very close to Mochou Lake, and the scenery is not bad, but several palaces are close together, so it's not easy to close.The garrison flag battalion is tens of miles away, and it is difficult to provide escort in case of any accident.
His Majesty is concerned with the safety of the world, so he has to be more careful, so when Kangxi casually said that he was resting in Longtan, it was just casually, why did he go to the palace when he had nothing to do? !
Jianning didn't know why, but when she learned that Kangxi had gone to Longtan, she was a little flustered, and she had always been an actionist, so she decided to go to him to find out what happened, it was better than worrying in vain here.
When she arrived at the Longtan Palace and saw Kangxi for the first time, she didn't have time to think about it, she just had time to fly over and protect him tightly!Then there was the deafening sound of artillery fire!Then all the escorting guards moved in panic!
The author has something to say:
This story is about to come to an end, and the next one is the world of peerless twins——those who regret to miss it in this life can continue their relationship, and there will be a big surprise!
Suo'etu showed a relaxed expression, and said: "So, the third princess admitted that the jade pendant was lost, but the jade pendant is now in the hands of the rebels. If the emperor knows about this, no matter how much the third princess is favored , Your Majesty must also suspect that the third princess is in collusion with the rebels, this is a serious crime of beheading!"
Jianning thought to himself, his so-called anti-thief is the Heaven and Earth Association, right?There have always been organizations in the south of the Yangtze River that opposed the Qing government. Back then, Mao Shiba could not accomplish something as big as robbing the law field by himself, and it was expected that he would unite with the Tiandihui.
Jianning asked inconceivably, "Suo'etu, are you threatening me?"
Suo'etu quickly kowtowed and said: "The old minister dare not, the old minister absolutely dare not, I only hope that the third princess will help the old minister for the prince's sake, if you can survive this calamity, you will be the old minister's great benefactor! Third princess, please think twice, don't bet your own future with the life of the veteran!"
He said he didn't dare, but in fact it was still a threat. What he meant was that if his life was in danger, then her future would also be ruined, right?Jianning never thought that a piece of jade pendant could represent anything, but this Suo'etu actually knew about it, maybe he still colluded with the Jiangnan rebellious party world, so he had to re-examine him.

Sometimes seeing the jade pendants is equivalent to seeing the real person.And now the jade pendant of the third princess is actually in the hands of the Jiangnan rebels. If this matter is brought before the emperor, she will not be able to clear it even if she jumps into the Yellow River!The emperor has always hated those rebellious parties the most.
What Suo'etu thought was right. If it were someone else, whether it was intentional or unintentional, this mistake would be enough to be threatened.But Jianning is not the case, she doesn't think that the location of her jade pendant can convict her, it's just an object she discarded.But this incident also proved that Suo'etu still kept his hole cards and did not show them.

This year, the officialdom experienced great fluctuations, and the ministers who were in charge of cabinet affairs in the study room also underwent a major reshuffle.Guo Xiu, Yu Chenglong and other new blood were injected into Shangshufang, and Zhou Peigong was appointed as the new Minister of Consul, Health and Internal Affairs, and became a veritable Prime Minister of Zhou.

He wants to represent the Qing Dynasty and pay homage to the tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so as to regain the hearts of scholars in the south of the Yangtze River.He wants to personally investigate the officials and people in the south of the Yangtze River, visit Nanjing, the land of golden powder in the Six Dynasties, and become an unprecedented co-lord of the Chinese world.He wants to show his national prestige and military strength to the countries in the four directions.When passing through Shandong, he will pay homage to the Confucian temple in order to collect the hearts of scholars from all over the world.
Kangxi thought a lot, a lot. If it is martial arts since he came to the throne to remove Oboi, settle the San Francisco, recover Taiwan, and pacify the northern border troubles Galdan and Tsarist Russia, etc., then this southern tour is his cultural achievement. It is a great achievement, and it is also a dream that he has been trying to realize since he took the throne 30 years ago!
In April of the 32nd year of Kangxi, the emperor's royal driver watched the Jiangnan brigade in person, left Beijing in a mighty way, and marched south.This time Kangxi did not send the prince to supervise the country, but took him with him. In fact, Kangxi took all the elder brothers with him, from the eldest to the thirteenth.
This trip is by dragon boat, which can go directly to the south of the Yangtze River through the canal and the Yellow River. The river control project of the Yellow River has been repaired. Now the river channel is narrow and the flow speed is accelerating. The embankment, the scene of the raging turbid waves, and the river water seemed to have become much clearer.
At this moment, Kangxi was sitting in the big dragon boat, looking at both sides of the Yellow River from the window: he saw lush grass, a piece of verdant green, and a forest behind the bank next to the second river embankment.From the remaining water marks on the embankment, it can be seen that the water level of the river has dropped by at least two feet.After sailing for a few days, thousands of miles of embankment, everywhere is a piece of shade, a piece of green, the river is cheerful, and the grass is like a rug.
Along the way, Kangxi sometimes urged the boat to move forward, sometimes stopped the boat for private visits, and dealt with several major events one after another.From time to time, I met with the old gentry who were stationed there, and listened to the views of the people on the political situation. Wherever I went, there were cheers and praises from all the people.
The common people all said that the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom has produced another wise and sage king.Kangxi was naturally happy when he heard this, but the princes, ministers, and guards who followed him were not happy!
"Auntie! Where are you?!" Hearing the scumbag voice, he knew that Yinxiang was coming. Sure enough, he boarded the building boat, and ran back and forth "dongdongdongdong" after a while, and finally At the stern of the boat, I found Jianning who was fishing, and walked up to her side. Seeing that there were several fish in the bucket next to her, Yinxiang couldn't help but exclaimed.
Jianning said helplessly: "How old are you, why do you still like to yell, you just scared me away from a big fish."
Yinxiang winked her eyes mischievously. Even though Jianning said that, even Yinxiang knew that she had absolutely no intention of blaming her, but rather pampered her deeply. Like the prince, Yinxiang loves running to Jianning's side the most. He said, "Auntie, are we going to eat this fish tonight? Did you cook it yourself?" His appearance made him salivate, looking forward to it.
Jianning did not answer him, but said: "The Yellow River carp is still the most plump at this time, and I will send two to your Huang Ama later."
Yin Xiang thought for a while and said, "Then I will go fishing with my aunt!" After finishing speaking, he asked the maid for a fishing rod, sat side by side with Jian Ning at the stern of the boat, and started fishing.He is used to jumping around and has a quick temper. He has never sat there honestly and fished.
Jianning guessed that he couldn't sit still for long, and sure enough, after a while he twisted his buttocks and started talking again, "Auntie, just now Huang Ama met the old people along the river and asked us to listen in..."
Jianning promised from time to time, but the fishing rod in her hand was frequently bitten by fish. After a while, her bucket was already full, full of fat and big carp, while Yinxiang, a small chatterbox, was still empty. Seeing that Jianning had caught a full bucket, he said, "I think that's enough, let's go back." As he said that, he wanted to help Jianning carry the bucket.
Jianning smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that I wanted to send fish to your Emma? I planned to ask you to send it, but you haven't caught any. When you get to the Imperial Palace, if the Emperor asks about you, what do you want?" How do you answer?"
Yinxiang blushed slightly, and Jianning said: "Keep fishing, don't stop, and when you have caught a bucket, I will send it to your Huang Ama with my own hands." This kid's temper really needs to be tempered , so as not to grow up, and still be so frizzy in front of Kangxi, and cause a catastrophe.
In the afternoon, the other little elder brothers searched everywhere for Xiao Shisan. They heard that he was arrested by the emperor's aunt and was fishing at the stern of the boat. They all came to watch the fun happily. These little devil kings got together and It even shook Jianning's building and boat a few times, which was the result of them not daring to make more mistakes in front of the emperor's aunt and restraining themselves.
In the end, the brothers each took a fishing rod and lined up at the stern of Jianning's boat to catch fish. How could other boats not notice their big battle, so many people lay on the side of the boat to watch lively.
Finally, with the help of several brothers, Yinxiang caught a whole bucket full of fish, and they happily went to present treasures in front of Huang Ama!Kangxi was very happy, these playboys finally had a filial piety towards him, Huang Ama, so there was a whole fish feast that night!In this happy atmosphere, Nanjing City is finally in sight.
Zhang Bonian, governor of Jiangnan, personally led all civil and military officials in Nanjing, and went out of the city ten miles to meet the holy driver.On the spotless concrete royal road, bright yellow silk ribbons fluttered, drums and music sang together, and twenty-four cannons blasted sky-high.All the officials surrounded Kangxi, boarded the newly built high platform, and received the congratulations from all the officials.
After the ceremony was over, Zhang Bonian came forward respectfully and knelt down to salute: "Minister Zhang Bonian, I respectfully welcome Shengan. Please, which palace will the lord wish to visit?"
The layout information of several palaces in the south of the Yangtze River had been presented to the emperor for a long time. Kangxi thought for a while and said, "Just the one in Longtan."
Jianning knew that Kangxi specially chose this palace just to avoid people's eyes and ears.Kangxi had written to Wei Dongting a few months ago, saying that he would stay at Wei Dongting's home during the Southern Tour.I'm afraid that Wei Dongting has already spent all of his family's wealth in order to pick him up, and he may have borrowed a lot of money. After all, it is for the emperor to live in. With his character, he must at least renovate the house.He has followed the emperor's teachings for so many years, dare not take bribes, and has no money to rebuild the garden.
After hearing Jianning's words, Kangxi thought of this level, and decided not to speak out, and asked Wei Dongting to do his best, and after he returned to Beijing, he would make up the money from the private treasury.
Wei Dongting's old father, Wei Chengmo, was Kangxi's enlightening mentor. He was suppressed by Oboi in his early years and returned home. Kangxi missed this master for many years, so this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, no matter what, he must visit Wei. It's in the government, so it's not as convenient as living here.
Together with Kangxi were Jianning and a few elder brothers. When they were away from home, they deliberately didn't bring many people to serve them, so these people were more than enough to live in Wei's mansion.The rest of the officials who came with Yujia lived in the palace, or scattered in various yamen.
Kangxi specially ordered Qin Tianjian to calculate the auspicious day of the zodiac for commemorating the tomb of the Ming Dynasty. It was on the eighth day of May. On this morning, Kangxi set out all his deacons and luanjias and set off for the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
This move made the whole city of Nanjing seething.Thousands of people gather in the streets, who don't want to admire the pomp and demeanor of the emperor's tour, and who don't want to see the grand ceremony where the Qing emperor personally paid homage to the Ming emperor's mausoleum.Especially those veterans of the former Ming Dynasty, those scholars who still cherish the memory of the former Ming Dynasty and insist on the Huayi view, were even more excited to tears.
Where Emperor Kangxi passed by, the common people saluted and worshiped, cheering "Long live, long live".Kangxi, who was dressed in solemn court clothes and sitting in the Luanyu, couldn't help being moved by this scene.Feeling in my heart, this move is the right move!
The ceremony to pay homage to the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty was solemn and solemn. Kangxi performed three kneelings and nine kowtows with incense and butter wine as a courtier.Those who were called to watch the ceremony were all old people in their 70s and [-]s, and all of them had been officials in the Ming Dynasty.After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, although they clearly knew that the land of the Qing Dynasty was taken from Li Zicheng, but after taking it, they did not return it to the descendants of the Zhu family's royal family, and the Manchus themselves became emperors.For this, they are always brooding, thinking of revenge for Daming.Now seeing the emperor of the Qing Dynasty travel thousands of miles to Nanjing to pay homage to the tomb of the Ming Taizu with the ceremony of his courtiers, these unfulfilled people are so moved that they weep bitterly and cannot help themselves.
Kangxi also had a lot of emotion. He thought of the various efforts made by the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty since he entered the customs, and the various difficulties he encountered during his 30 years of reign. In the eyes of others, he is an emperor with infinite glory. This time was not dangerous, and he walked over step by step.It's not easy until today that the country is finally settled, and people's hearts are gradually stabilizing. How much effort has he put in for this.
Now on the top of this isolated peak, next to the dilapidated tomb of the founding ancestor of the former dynasty, he, the later monarch, came to pay homage, and he could deeply understand why the emperor called himself a widow.Because, when you ascend to this position, you will no longer have friends or relatives. The emperor is the ruler of a country first, and everyone regards you as the king first. As for other feelings, they have become indifferent.
Kangxi's eyes swept over the people behind him, and finally settled on a person.He is luckier than Zhu Yuanzhang, luckier than those emperors. He has someone who understands him, believes in him, and can help him without reservation. They even have soul ties, and they are always by his side and will never leave.
Kangxi said in a gentle tone: "Sangege, come here, and join me in offering incense to Emperor Ming Taizu."
Jianning stepped forward according to her words. Today, she is also wearing a court dress to show formality, and she also has delicate makeup on her face.She stepped on the bottom of the flower pot and walked step by step on the ground full of fine gravel.
Looking at Jianning who was slowly approaching, Kangxi felt a little dazed, as if she was wearing the queen's court dress at this moment, and she was approaching him step by step. For a moment, Kangxi forgot to move and stood there blankly.
Jianning saw that he was not in the mood, he had been preparing for so long, just to worship Ming Taizu in front of the world today, and he couldn't let something happen at this time, so Jianning handed it over naturally, Kangxi didn't even think about it He took her hand, as if Kangxi was afraid that she would fall, so he gave a gentleman's support, and the two walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb hand in hand.
The crown prince lit three sticks of incense with his own hands and handed them to Jianning. After Jianning paid homage, they were crown prince, princes and ministers.
Jian Ning also felt a little emotional in her heart, although she knew that the worlds she entered were not continuous, each one was an independent world, even if she met the same person, they still existed in different dimensions, and it was impossible for them to be exactly the same.But in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb, she couldn't help but think of the past when she led Mingjiao to fight against Yuan soldiers. In a blink of an eye, the "old man" she personally crowned has been buried here, and her existence will continue.
Before Kangxi came to the south, Wei Dongting had already brought people to destroy the Heaven and Earth Society hiding in Nanjing. Because some people cooperated with each other, almost none of those rebellious parties slipped through the net, and all of them were arrested and brought to justice.
Several long-planned major events were successfully completed, and Kangxi was very excited. He took Jianning to play in Nanjing to his heart's content.What Mochoufu, Xuanwu Lake, Jiming Temple, Swallow Mountain, Stone City, Qingliang Mountain, Qinhuai Night Ferry, Peach Leaf Linliu, sometimes one place a day, sometimes two or three places a day, go around again!
They had fun and had a good time, but Wei Dongting suffered a lot, he was busy day and night, and spent his entire family.
On this day, Kangxi did not come to call Jianning abnormally, but went out by himself. Jianning would not be surprised if someone else was busy with official duties in the Wei Mansion, but he went out alone. Kangxi promised her that he would take her to play All over Nanjing City.He also said that he did not forget to call her in every scenic spot, which made Jianning, who has a keen intuition, perceive a different taste.
Jianning asked the people who stayed behind: "Where did the emperor go?"
If it were someone else, they would not dare to inquire about the emperor's whereabouts easily, but Jianning always asked whenever he wanted, and he didn't have so many scruples.
Zhang Tingyu didn't dare not answer her, "Go back to the princess, the emperor has gone to Longtan Palace."
Jianning couldn't help frowning, the Longtan Palace is very close to Mochou Lake, and the scenery is not bad, but several palaces are close together, so it's not easy to close.The garrison flag battalion is tens of miles away, and it is difficult to provide escort in case of any accident.
His Majesty is concerned with the safety of the world, so he has to be more careful, so when Kangxi casually said that he was resting in Longtan, it was just casually, why did he go to the palace when he had nothing to do? !
Jianning didn't know why, but when she learned that Kangxi had gone to Longtan, she was a little flustered, and she had always been an actionist, so she decided to go to him to find out what happened, it was better than worrying in vain here.
When she arrived at the Longtan Palace and saw Kangxi for the first time, she didn't have time to think about it, she just had time to fly over and protect him tightly!Then there was the deafening sound of artillery fire!Then all the escorting guards moved in panic!
The author has something to say:
This story is about to come to an end, and the next one is the world of peerless twins——those who regret to miss it in this life can continue their relationship, and there will be a big surprise!
