The good times of Fujin

Chapter 116 Decision

The mountain named "Grandma Qiongyao" that was pressing on the emperor was removed in this way.The emperor who got rid of the burden integrated all the information resources he obtained in later generations, and continued to develop industry and expand the economy within his ability, and joined hands with Britain, a reliable partner of the empire that "the sun never sets" ,Move forward.

As the Qing Dynasty continued to grow stronger, more and more pictures were drawn into the territory of the Qing Dynasty. Because of his knowledge and knowledge, the emperor did not have an arrogant mentality. For the surrounding small countries and newly divided provinces, such as Koryo Province and Ryukyu Province has no good impression at all.When giving speeches at the Xishan Military Academy, the existence of this group of "remember eating but not beating, and whoever has milk is a mother" is often used as a negative teaching material for repeated publicity.Therefore, no matter how low the opponent is, the Qing army stationed there and the officials sent by the Qing government did not slack off at all, and carried out ideological assimilation in full accordance with the emperor's instructions, ensuring that the people there would be assimilated 50 years later. Proud to be a "Qing" person.

It's another year when all nations come to court, and the emperor's [-]th birthday, all forces have started preparations early.The emperor's longevity is celebrated every year, but it is estimated that the emperor's [-]th birthday is rarely lived.The emperor's work of going to bed late and getting up early, worrying and laborious, and paying public food to the harem on a regular basis is really life-threatening.Therefore, at the behest of the empress dowagers of the two palaces, and with the tacit consent of the emperor, the celebration of the emperor's [-]th birthday was carried out with great fanfare.

Although the emperor has repeatedly emphasized not to be extravagant and wasteful, but the head of a country is a centralized feudal empire, how can the emperor's birthday be so simple?Just when the emperor's cooperating partners heard the news, the congratulatory envoys from various countries had already set off early.Whether by sea or by land, the British and French Oros, one month before the emperor's birthday, their birthday convoy fleet brought gifts and went through security checks to stay in Tianjin Port.In order to show importance to the emperor's birthday, most of these envoys even brought two gifts, one for visiting the emperor and the other for the emperor's birthday.Of course, according to the price of the first-class goods in their local area, they will not lose money this trip.

One week before the emperor's birthday, all the visiting missions gathered in the capital, and the emperor's married daughters, nieces, and various relatives also returned to their hometowns early.All of a sudden, the residences prepared by Li Fanyuan were not enough.Those who live in the regular posthouses must be high-level cadres of the mission, and other tribes and entourages of the embassy that are not high enough can only be resolved by themselves.For a while, the inns and rents in the capital rose surprisingly outrageously.

There are still two days until the emperor's birthday, and the envoys from all walks of life have begun to present birthday gifts to the emperor in order. They will meet in order from strong to weak, and from close to distant.It was not until the time to light the lamps that the last mission was sent away.Hongli sighed and returned from the Hall of Supreme Harmony to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Gao Wuyong and Wu Shulai followed closely behind Qianlong, not daring to show their air.They didn't know why, although it was a good day for all nations to congratulate, the emperor seemed not happy, but rather heavy.

It would be great if the empress was here, but unfortunately, the empress was busy receiving those Westerners who showed their breasts, so she didn't have time to come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.The emperor hasn't eaten much for a day, and he is also 60 years old. How can this be possible?But no matter how worried they were, Gao Wuyong and Wu Shulai didn't dare to step forward and ask: Your Majesty, is there a meal?All they could do was to hand over a cup of tea and a stack of pastries when the emperor sat down.As for His Majesty the emperor who was worried, he didn't respond at all.

Looking at the bright lights outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Hongli felt a little tired.The days of waking up to control the world and lying drunk on the lap of beauties are indeed comfortable, but after so many years of busy work, he has had enough.As an emperor, it can even be said that he was a more accomplished emperor in two lifetimes (Guangxu's lifetime is not counted), Hongli really didn't have the idea of ​​"living another 500 years".What's more, if you really want to calculate it strictly, he has lived for two or three hundred years... It's tiring to live like this all the time.

Before he was reborn as himself, he kept holding his breath, hoping that "The Prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong" could really become an existence comparable to the rule of Zhenguan.It is not a crumbling Qing Dynasty that looks at the blossoming flowers and all nations come to court, but in fact has long been corrupted to the root.Now, the goal has been achieved, the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong has become a real prosperity, and there will never be any major problems within the two generations of the Qing Dynasty-Yongchen's son has reached the age of entering school, the so-called three-year-old is old, if there is no accident, He would also be an excellent heir.

There is a saying that the rich cannot last for three generations, and the three generations he sees can obviously be rich all the time—as long as they refrain from arrogance and impetuosity, and are not arrogant, there is nothing they cannot do if they continue to develop in this way.Perhaps the Republic of China could develop normally into a capitalist country and then slowly transition to socialism, instead of being forced to develop into socialism with "Chinese characteristics" as he remembered.Then this country, this nation will not be oppressed or slaughtered, and will always soar in the east of the world like a soaring dragon.

So, can he retire?It's not the Supreme Emperor who abdicated without resigning power like in the previous life, but he really took Jingxian and his two mother-in-law to go sightseeing in the mountains and rivers like an old cadre retired, helping his son to experience the customs and customs, and to see what he had done. The thousands of miles of rivers and mountains laid down.Although Yongchen was not established as the prince, his status as the invisible prince is even worse than his own back then.It's strange to say that even in this situation, Yongchen never crossed the line, overstepped his authority, or disregarded his father's performance. He is a born politician... He is indeed the eldest son of him and Jingxian.

Thinking about Hong Zhou who just returned to Beijing more than a month ago, he is actually a little envious. Hong Zhou's mental state and physical fitness are much better than him.It seems that even being a prince is healthier than sitting on a dragon chair!Although the banner people are not allowed to leave the station easily, Hongzhou City took its wife and mother to the suburbs of Beijing to escape the summer heat. This "suburb of Beijing" is a bit close to Jiangsu, but what does it matter?He didn't rebel and usurp the throne, but he was just playing for fun, and Hongli turned a blind eye to it.

After all, in future generations, I will also be able to retire at this age.Now that you are old, let’s retire. Don’t create resistance for the younger generations. Let Yongchen take over early. He can also see if he is competent, and see if he can really put his political and economic ideas into practice. continue.Having made up his mind, Hongli asked Gao Wuyong to get an imperial edict.With a wave of his hand, he drove everyone out and sat there brewing.In fact, as an emperor, there are very few imperial edicts written by himself. Usually, there are people who specialize in drafting the edicts to help him complete the writing work.

He wanted to write this edict of abdication himself.

I love Xinjueluo Hongli, and I am sixty now.Looking back on these years of my life, I have experienced a lot and gained a lot.In the past 35 years of my reign, I think I have done my best. Now that I am old, I feel that I have more energy than I have, so I have given up my throne Zen to my third son Yongchen.After so many years of observation and testing, I think he is fully qualified for the great job of emperor.I hope that the ministers will be as loyal to the next emperor as they are to me, and create a bright future for the Qing Dynasty.Yongchen, don't let your own selfish desires and villains' slander destroy the country that my ancestors and I have built.

(The stupid author is completely incompetent in ancient Chinese, so I wrote it in vernacular, please bear with me)

After writing, waited until the ink was completely dry, Hongli rolled up the imperial decree himself, locked it with the lock (according to the specifications of the Prince Li's edict, three large locks were used), and placed it on the emperor's desk in the Hall of Mental Cultivation In the mezzanine, another layer of big locks was added, and all the keys were put into the close-fitting purse, and everyone was recruited back.I asked the queen if he had a meal, and after getting a negative answer, he drove to Kunning Palace and went to have a meal with the queen.

"Queen, I'm tired, and I want to leave everything to Yongchen. Let's go sightseeing together, okay?" The emperor lay in the bright yellow tent with his arms around the queen, talking intimately.

If it was the last life, the empress who heard this would have been panicked and persuaded the emperor to withdraw his "shocking" idea.However, Jing Xian has also lived two lifetimes, so she can naturally see the exhaustion from the emperor's heart.Although it is a matter of time before the throne is passed on to Yongchen, the emperor is the emperor after all, even if he abdicates, can he really let go of his rights?Her father had suffered for more than half a year when he became an official, let alone the emperor.

"Your Majesty, when you are tired, let others do the things in your hands. Although I command the Six Palaces, I am not doing everything by myself like you. It is not easy to raise them. If you are tired, let others do the work for you. Abdicate This kind of thing is not something that can be said casually." Even if such a thing as abdication can be achieved, she will not express her enthusiastic support, not to mention, she doesn't think it would be easier for the son of the emperor to have a father who is the emperor above him. .She still felt that it was better to keep the status quo.

"It's been so many years, and you're still like that..." With that kind of looking forward and backward, even though we are husband and wife, you will never forget that I am still an emperor.But I often forget that you are the queen and think you are just my wife.This is probably the legendary generation gap, right?It is something that love and time cannot erase. In later generations, it is called world outlook and values.

"Okay, I'm just complaining casually. As soon as I say it, you just listen to it. It's getting late, and tomorrow I have to summon the Mongolian tribes and clan Fujin. Are you tired? Go to bed early." The emperor He hugged Jing Xian into his arms and closed his eyes.

As for the couple of the two generations, Jing Xian was sure that the emperor did not talk about something just now, but his answer just now was obviously not in line with the emperor's wishes, so he didn't want to continue talking.It has been like this in the past few years. Once he said something he didn't like to hear, he never scolded himself, but would look at her helplessly, sigh, and then continue to treat himself well.She knows how good he is to her, and she also remembers it...

If he really wants to abdicate, and wants to go sightseeing...that's fine.Forget it, go to sleep, and get up early tomorrow.
