Beijing is still in the period of national mourning.

The third prince Xuanye ascended the throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and became emperor. The reign title was jointly agreed by the Empress Dowager and the Ministers of the Regent, and it was "Kangxi".

Although the war in the Central Plains was like fire, the funeral of the Emperor of Beijing Daxing was not reduced at all according to the rules. This was the first emperor to die in the Forbidden City since Manzhou entered the Han Dynasty. In order to calm people and to declare the orthodox of the Qing Dynasty to the world, the Empress Dowager did not adopt the proposal of the auxiliary ministers to briefly hold the funeral, but instead demanded that it must be grand.

The mourning edict was sent to the whole country. Officials must be on the 20th week of the mourning in this yamen and are not allowed to return to their private classes. They cry for nine days sooner or later. During the 100-day national mourning, there is no ban on red hangouts, no banquets or celebrations, and violators will be punished. The ministers and princes in Beijing both opposed the grand act, because the treasury of the Qing Dynasty was extremely empty. If it was done, the food and clothing of the frontline soldiers could not be guaranteed. However, the empress dowager insisted on doing it, and there was news that the people in the Korqin family of the empress dowager might enter the pass again to help the Qing Dynasty. The princes and ministers of Manzhou who were in urgent need of help from the Mongolians were collectively silent.

The funeral palace of Emperor Daxing moved to the Shouhuang Palace of Jingshan in early February. The first day, he started to display a large carriage book from Donghuamen to Jingshan. Most people who might find acquaintances on this roadside would want to borrow a place to enjoy it. However, the residents of the inner city were all Eight Banners families, and very few Han people could know them. It was almost impossible to see this unprecedented grand occasion with their own eyes.

The day after the funeral palace moved to Jingshan, the court meeting, which had been interrupted for nearly two months, was restarted. Under the guidance of the Empress Dowager, Emperor Kangxi once again took the throne to accept the worship of all officials. The atmosphere of the court meeting was very solemn and heavy. This was not only because of the death of Emperor Daxing, but more because of a series of bad news from the south.

The news that Zhejiang and Fujian fell had spread to Beijing, Fuzhou Mancheng and Hangzhou Manzhou that almost no one was spared. There was no trouble in the Eight Banners. It seemed that this was taken for granted and destined to happen.

At the beginning, everything that happened in Guangzhou was shocked by Manzhou. Everyone gritted their teeth to avenge the Eight Banners soldiers who died in their country. No one was afraid, but some were just unbelievable. When the news came from Nandu, the people who gritted their teeth were gone, and those who wanted to take revenge were gone. Unbelievable became unwilling to give up, and fear arose from the bottom of their hearts. After the Jiangbei War, no one in Manzhou had any hope of crossing the Yangtze River again. Even when the Emperor of Daxing was there, he was not thinking about the river tracing that he thought of when he heard the bad news of Nikan's death in battle, but was considering whether to start to make preparations for exiting the pass.

As soon as the Jiangnan region was lost, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces were like "enclaves". No one thought that Dasu and Zhao Guozuo, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, could defend the two provinces. The loss of the two provinces was only a matter of time. The Emperor Daxing was also aware of this, but he still sent personnel to contact the Dutch Red Barbarians to meet all the other party's conditions in exchange for the Red Barbarians to help the Fujian Eight Banners stabilize the Fujian Province. At least, they must be able to withdraw the Eight Banners of Fujian from the sea. However, before the Red Barbarians had made any moves, Emperor Daxing was killed by smallpox, and Dasu also turned into bones with the Eight Banners soldiers and women and children in Fuzhou.

The Empress Dowager said a few words about Dasu and passed on an imperial decree to give full respect to Dasu's family and the families of the soldiers of the Manzhou soldiers in Hangzhou and Fuzhou. But there are no families of the Eight Banners soldiers in the north and the capital in Beijing. At that time, they moved south with their families.

Zhejiang and Fujian, the territory that everyone knows about is bound to be lost. The ending that news will make people sad, but it won’t make people nervous. What really makes the princes and ministers of Manzhou unable to sleep or eat is the war in the Central Plains.

The news from Kaifeng was very bad. Henan Governor Jia Han reported that tens of thousands of people in the Zhongzhen Camp of the Ming army suddenly advanced from Guide under the leadership of the great enemy Li Laiheng, seriously threatening the flanks of the Aobai army, causing Oboi to shrink the Qing army deployed in the Kaizheng area to the rear, and the lost ground that had been recovered was immediately lost again. Wu Sangui's Guanning rebels also took the opportunity to advance towards Kaifeng, and several armies were in a siege of Kaifeng.

There were rebels in front and Ming troops in the back. Oboi was in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides. He urgently needed reinforcements from the court, but the court now had no soldiers except the 20,000 soldiers and horses who were in the hands of the 20,000 soldiers and horses who were in the hands of the capital. Because the emperor of the Daxing passed away and the new king ascended the throne, Prince Kang Jieshu, who was responsible for the reorganization of the Han army and the green camp, had to put aside the matter at hand. This led to the two white flags of Manzhou, which were originally planned to be replenished within two months, and the original plan was to add 58 Niulus.

If Oboi is defeated, Beijing will be lost and the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed.

If the Qing Dynasty perishes, Manchu will be exterminated.

Whether it was the auxiliary ministers, princes and ministers, or the Taizong scholars who had joined forces to force Emperor Daxing to abdicate, they united at this moment. They were eager for reinforcements, and the only possible reinforcements now are undoubtedly the Queen Mother's mother's home, Korqin, which greatly increased the weight of the Queen Mother in the court.

The court meeting did not discuss anything, because the Empress Dowager Taisha had no definite answer to when the Kings of Korqin would enter the pass. Perhaps, the Empress Dowager Taisha also realized that when he was in Yangzhou, his son's actions really hurt the hearts of the Mongols. Even if Korqin was her mother's family, he had doubts about entering the pass and becoming an enemy of the resurrected Ming Dynasty. The battle in Jiangbei collapsed not only the fighting spirit of the soldiers in Manzhou, but also the morale of the Mongols.

Once the Han people wake up, they are very terrible existences.

The Mongols were suppressed by the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, and they were still afraid of the Han people they once regarded as pigs and dogs.

The young Emperor Kangxi didn't know what it meant to be without one of the two cities in Hangzhou and Fuzhou. He only knew how to sit on the throne carefully without saying a word. Before going to court, his mother, Empress Dowager Tong, told her son not to talk nonsense, everything was handled by your grandmother. Although Kangxi was only eight years old, he was very smart, so he only listened and didn't say anything.

If there is nothing to discuss, the only way to retreat to the court. Many times, the court meeting is just an attitude of the court. Most important matters are decided before the court meeting. After the court retreat, Sony and Suksaha went to the Cining Palace, and they needed to persuade the Empress Dowager to let her parents' home enter the pass no matter what. Even if the Mongolians only came to the Korqin family, they would also provide timely assistance to the current Qing Dynasty.

The government has now been taken over by the auxiliary ministers. Shunzhi tried his best to set up the cabinet after Jidu's death, and now almost all of them are forgotten.

It doesn't matter if you are forgotten, the bachelors on duty in the cabinet will still be on duty, otherwise they will not know what else they can do.

The chief grandfather Bahana is from Manzhou, so he naturally does not need to be on duty like the Hanlin bachelors on duty in the cabinet, and the current payment is paid. The grandfather who is on duty today is Feng Quan, a Han bachelor, but others are not in the cabinet. None of the Han bachelors knows where the Grandfather Feng is now, and nothing is wrong, so he waits for the time in the public housing.

In a public room, Xu Wenyuan, a top scholar in the imperial examination, and his friend Jinshi Xiong Cilu competed for painting skills because there was nothing to do. The two wrote like gods, but their hearts were empty. Once upon a time, Hanlin was divided into classes and served as the left side of the Ganqing Sect in order to prepare for the emperor's consultant. What a glory it was. Before this, ordinary civil and military officials were at the limit in front of the Grand Historical Hall, and the princes and ministers' houses were only on the other side of the Ganqing Sect. Han Hanlin was able to compete with the princes and ministers of Manzhou, which was an unheard of strange thing before the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. Now, all this seemed to have never happened, and it seemed to have happened in a dream. In short, the death of Emperor Daxing made Han Hanlins not only fall from a high place, but also feel indescribable loss in their hearts.

Xu Wenyuan and Xiong Cilu were lucky to walk in a group of Hanlin Cabinets. After all, the former was the top scholar. No matter how the auxiliary ministers violated the will of the previous emperor, they still looked at Xu Wenyuan, the top scholar. Xiong Cilu was also grateful to the grace of the Empress Dowager and was the teacher of the Third Prince. Now that the Third Prince is the emperor, he has the status of an imperial teacher. Although he is not as good as the other Grand Secretary, he has left an impression on the young emperor. With time, it will always be of great use. Now, you only need to endure loneliness and wait for the young emperor to take power.
