[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

Chapter 254

Under Du Lide's weeping, his eyes were red and tears were streaming down his face. His son Du Gongjun handed him the handkerchief, but he didn't want it. Kangxi handed him the handkerchief, and he didn't want it either. When Yinfeng carefully came up to him, he handed him the handkerchief. It was awkward. The old man finally took the veil and wiped himself off.

His sigh was as heavy as a heavy bell, and through the ruthless time, he gave everyone a wake-up call.

"Time flies, and decades have passed like this. It was so difficult back then, but I survived it. Now, is it getting better and better, the empress dowager, did she leave with a smile?"

As he spoke, he choked up again.

Kangxi comforted him: "Yes, yes! The imperial grandmother left with a smile."

"That's good, that's good," Dolittle replied repeatedly, looking at the coffin, as if he could still recall the appearance when the Empress Dowager asked him to come out of the mountain, he murmured: "I won't be long, I will also Go downstairs to see her, to see the first emperor, to see the empress dowager."

Kangxi said in a hoarse voice: "What Grand Master Du said, you are still growing strong!"

Du Lide's pale face showed that he was still recovering from a serious illness. He smiled and asked Kangxi: "Do you still remember what the Empress Dowager said when she asked me to teach you?"

Kangxi was startled, then nodded: "I remember."

She told me to listen carefully, watch carefully, don't be in a hurry, and study hard with the Taifu.

She had to take care of her body, if she vomited blood as she had learned before, she was reluctant to punish her grandson, but she wanted to punish the Tai Tuo, blaming the Tai Tuo for not persuading the emperor to combine work with rest.Without a healthy body, how can we talk about governing the government, and how can we talk about the ambitious future of that person?

She said that one day Oboi will be removed, those unstable vassal kings will be cut off, and Taiwan will be flattened, so I will have the face to go to the first emperor and Taizong.

she says……

"The Empress Dowager said that we have to wait until the prosperous Qing Dynasty comes and the world is stable, and I want to see the scene where ministers like Du Lide are full of the court." , the latter, I also remember."

No amount of pain can stop us, Xuan Ye, from moving forward. You have to be strong, stronger, you can’t be weak as an emperor, and don’t cry like a little girl. Mama won’t comfort you when she sees you, she’ll just scold you, despise you.

Kangxi told him, his eyes were red, after a long time, he finally calmed down.

Looking at the coffin again, it seemed that he had understood what the Empress Dowager had done before she left.

Behind them are the growing sons, and those who came to cry were important ministers of the court. Some of them came for the ceremony, and some of them sincerely thought of the goodness of the empress dowager, and their sadness could not be concealed.

The prince's eyes were red, and he was supporting Mrs. Du, looking at them with worried eyes, carefully lest they both cry out for good or bad.

Kangxi sighed softly: "Zhen, I know what the grand master wants to say."

This old teacher, it was Huang Mama who stayed behind to stare into his eyes!

If he wants to let him see that he indulges his emotions, ignores the reason that he should have as an emperor, and sends the news to the underground, won't the emperor mama really want to scold him and despise him?

From the bumpy journey from his hometown to now, Dolittle's physical strength has reached its limit, and his face is even more pale after he has not recovered from a serious illness.

He leaned against Yinfeng, already trembling slightly.

Yinfeng was so anxious that he used his elbow to support him, his thin body was wrapped under the winter clothes, and he was empty, where did he still have the rich appearance of the previous years?

Grand Master Du went back to his hometown to take care of his old age, and he was so old in a blink of an eye.

The emperor couldn't bear it, and told the people around him: "Grand Master Du has not recovered from his serious illness, and his body can't bear it, help him to rest quickly."

"Order the imperial physician to diagnose and treat the imperial master."

The day of mourning was the last day he indulged his emotions. The funeral went smoothly under the auspices of the emperor. When he woke up the next day, the emperor had recovered his calm.

Recalling the chaos of the past few days, the prince's orderly arrangement of affairs seemed particularly considerate. Kangxi asked him, "Is it the emperor Mama who asked you to call Dolittle?"

Yinfeng nodded and explained: "Chengsan (Du Gongjun) said that after hearing the news from the capital, the grand master would still set out to come, but he would regret it all his life if he couldn't make it to see Wuku's mother for the last time. Wuku Mom said, only the Grand Master can persuade you."

They have gone through so many years together, the Empress Dowager is gone, Du Lide has half a foot in the coffin, and Kangxi, in his prime of life, is shining brightly.

Kangxi read Huang Mama's last words, and sighed: "These days, I have worked hard for you."

"It would be great if you could cheer up again, the offspring of the Empress Mama are still waiting for you to take care of them."

Since there was no need to transport it back to Shengjing to be buried with the emperor's ancestors, Kangxi thought about it, ordered the East King Hall to be demolished, and rebuilt another one called "Temporary An Fengdian". Mother and son live together.

One hundred days in plain clothes, three years in plain clothes, and three years of national mourning ordered by the emperor.

The courtiers tried their best to persuade them, and the memorials were filled with Kangxi's imperial cases, hoping that the emperor would "change the moon with the sun" according to the tradition.

The courtiers were helpless, so they put pressure on Yinreng one after another, asking Yinreng to persuade the emperor, and asking Yinreng to find a way, from the courtiers of the Ministry to the cabinet bachelors, and then to the Taifu.

After discussing with the censors, they all said to Yinfeng: If you can persuade the emperor, I will not impeach you for a year.

Yinfeng:? ? ?

Chen Tingjing came to see Yinfeng and said to him: If you can change the emperor's mind and put back the dragon robe, Weichen will help you complete the transformation plan of the household department.

Zhang Ying, Tang Bin and other grand tutors also came to him, sighed and said: We know His Highness is in trouble, but now, only you can persuade the emperor.

Grand Master Du is recuperating at home, and he will not persuade the emperor not to mourn.

And the eldest brother, he has just been married and will be in mourning for three years.

Yinfeng has one head and two big ones.

One side is filial piety, and the other side is the dignity of the emperor. Which is more important, family affection or state affairs, I know rationally that I should persuade, but I know in my heart that if I persuade, Khan Ama will be very sad, mourning is to pay homage to relatives, even this should be persuaded Come back, it's forcing the dead relatives to give up the sacrifice, that's called pain.

Yinfeng thought for a while, and euphemistic persuasion is not as meaningful as the commemoration of actual actions.

When Kangxi saw him coming, he didn't want to mention the matter of mourning. He said indifferently: "I know that many courtiers have put pressure on you recently. Don't take them seriously. I have made up my mind and I won't change it easily."

Yinreng cut to the chase and said: "Ama Khan, the harem has not stipulated funeral ceremonies in the ceremonies of this dynasty so far. There is no way to verify the funeral rites. It all comes from your mouth. The emperor Mama is the most honorable empress dowager. There are the highest funeral rites, and it may not be enough to copy the funeral rites of the previous Ming Dynasty."

Kangxi was startled: he forgot about this matter.

"Can you stipulate the funeral ceremony for Wuku's mother and write it into the classics so that future generations can follow it?"

Kangxi was thoughtful, and really moved.

He called Sha Cheng, who had a lot of leisure after the division of rites, to the front of the emperor, and called several important ministers around him, and told them: I want to stipulate the funeral rituals of the harem for future generations, and you can come up with a regulation. What does Sha Aiqing know about etiquette? More, this matter is up to you to do.

Sha Cheng was silent for a moment, then respectfully said: "I obey the order."

Drafting a customized funeral ceremony is a troublesome task, not only must take into account the past ceremonies, but also take into account the emperor's mood.

In the classics, the funeral rites of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager follow the empress' funeral rites. Kangxi read it and said: "It's not enough, it should be more solemn."

So it was planned again, according to the decision that the emperor is making now, Kangxi frowned when he saw it: it is a bit too much for future generations to follow such a funeral ceremony.

When the crown prince inherits the throne, the crown princess will also have the opportunity to be the empress dowager and the empress dowager in the future. In the future, the emperor will have to mourn his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law without wearing a dragon robe for three years. Kangxi frowned when he thought about it.

The emperor's rationality gradually came back, and he took a deep look at Yinfeng, his eyes were cold, as if he was looking at a knife.

Yinfeng has done everything, absolutely without cowardice, no matter how Khan Ama stares at him or blames him, he is rough-skinned and thick-skinned, blocking them all.

In the end, Kangxi and the officials of the Ministry of Rites set a ritual system, the empress dowager's funeral ceremony honored the queen's ritual system half as high as the empress dowager's.

I have to abide by the rituals I set, and Kangxi can't do the thing that slaps me in the face. It won't be March, and under the watchful eyes of the etiquette officials, the emperor bathes and burns incense.

This New Year, spent in a snowfall, gave Yinreng the impression of a pale and desolate scene. When the snow gradually melted, the first bird in early spring stood on the branch and sang, and the season of recovery of all things came.

The government has also gradually accelerated from the slow state during the Chinese New Year.

Time will slowly wash away the grief of the deceased relatives, the government keeps moving forward, and the emperor cannot slow down his pace.

Kangxi pointed to his four grown sons and asked them: You have grown up, the elder brother and the prince are already on their own, and it is time to train the third and fourth sons.

Just like when he asked the prince and elder brother, Kangxi also asked them: "What are you good at, and do you have a department that you want to practice?"

Yinzhi and Yinzhen looked at each other, and replied: "I am good at writing documents and poems. Since I studied with the second brother of the prince, I have come into contact with many new scientific things. I want to go to the Ministry of Industry to practice."

He has a lot of ideas that he wants to practice, and he still has many doubts. The Academy of Sciences can no longer satisfy his planning requirements. The Ministry of Industry, which is in charge of major projects across the country, may be a good place.

Yinzhen said: "I have learned a lot from the second brother of the crown prince. I don't know what I am good at so far. However, I want to go to the Ministry of Officials to try."

When Yinti heard the words, he squinted his eyes: The Ministry of Industry has no real power, and the Ministry of Officials has a lot of fat and water. Did the two of them agree to have one and one, or did they each have no intentions?

In the elder brother's office, everyone knows that the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother have been tied together since childhood.

Kangxi nodded, and asked the prince again: "What about Baocheng, do you have any suggestions? You have taught them for a long time, what do you think of their abilities?"

Yinfeng said: "Of course the ability is very good, but, Khan Ama, I want to send both younger brothers to the household department."

Kangxi paused for a while, then glanced at him, and the eyes realized by themselves: What do you want to do?

Yinfeng asked back: "After the division of rites, will the functions of the court become more clear and run more smoothly?"

Of course, more smoothly.

Kangxi already had the answer in his heart, but he didn't answer, and asked him coldly: "Every time you stay in a place, you have to tear down that place to be willing?"

When the other people heard Kangxi's tone, their hearts trembled, and Yinfeng said without changing his expression: "Look at Master Chen's memorabilia!"

Yinfeng pointed: "Look quickly, the household department is divided into three departments: agriculture, finance, and civil affairs. This memorial was not written by my ministers, but by Mr. Chen."

The author has something to say: Kangxi: I believe you a ghost!
