Chapter 1,268 Zen Position, Seclusion, Six Emperors
The Empress Dowager could not escape the seventy-three-year-old mark after all.
He passed away at the beginning of winter in the eleventh year of Yongzheng's reign.
According to the regulations, Su Mingzhe took off his mourning clothes for twenty-seven days after wearing hemp and mourning, returned to the south study room, and continued to deal with government affairs.
The matters of keeping vigil and funeral for the Empress Dowager were left to Yin, who had not yet returned to America.
Yin, the Tang king, was very interested in the "Chinese" Qing Dynasty. In his spare time, he traveled around to investigate people's livelihood.
With the development of the Manchu-Han fusion plan, not only the ancestors of the Manchus were traced back to their origins, but also dozens of ethnic groups such as the Mongol, Miao, and Zhuang were also studied.
For this reason, Su Mingzhe specifically ordered the Ministry of Rites to update the "Genealogical Map of the Yanhuang Miao Tribes" every three years and distribute it free of charge in the Imperial College branches across the country.
With this "Exquisite Picture" and the relaxed folk cultural atmosphere of Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties, the hatred between various ethnic groups was constantly diluted.
The situation of various ethnic groups living together and even intermarrying is gradually emerging.
In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month of Yongzheng year.
The great mourning of the Empress Dowager has finally passed.
In order to let the people have a good New Year, Su Mingzhe canceled the curfew in the capital.
After more than 20 years of "land and Dingkou reform", today's people basically have some spare money.
At the end of the year, hundreds of thousands of people from surrounding areas flocked to the capital to buy New Year goods.
Seeing such a prosperous scene, Su Mingzhe's eyes were full of pride. He looked at Ruoxi who was by his side and smiled softly:
"After New Year's Eve, it will be the thirteenth year of Yongzheng's reign. The palace next to the West Lake has been built. After the Zen Ceremony, I will accompany you to live in the West Lake!"
"Are you really willing to give up your Zen position?"
Ruoxi looked at the man with eyes filled with gratitude and love.
She really didn't expect that the man's love for her not only exceeded beauty, but also exceeded power.
When Su Mingzhe faced the woman's question, he just laughed, held her in his arms, and said with words he had repeated many times:
"So what about the throne? Anyway, in my eyes, you are the most important..."
Su Mingzhe smiled and said love words. Feeling that the atmosphere was getting thicker, he immediately ordered people to drive back to the palace.
On the second day.
Su Mingzhe got up and went to court. After the two sisters got up and washed themselves, they went to the queen's place to pay their respects according to the regulations.
Rou Ze is already over fifty years old, so naturally she has stopped sleeping with her for a long time.
Not only Rouze, but also her sister Yixiu no longer sleeps with her.
The only concubines still sleeping in the harem are Nian Shilan, Lan Xin, Ruo Lan, Ruo Xi, Yu Shu and Ying Ying.
A dozen concubines sit together, and since there is no need to compete for favor and love, the relationship between them is quite harmonious.
Soon, everyone finished greetings and retreated.
Rouze suddenly called out to Ruoxi, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes, and said:
"Good sister, I thank you this time."
"Your Majesty said this, what did my little sister do to make your Majesty misunderstand?"
Ruoxi was pampered by the man and felt a little confused when faced with the queen's sudden thanks.
Rouze didn't mince words and pointed it out directly:
"Your Majesty has already said that he took the Zen position this time all because of your persuasion..."
"Your Majesty, I have misunderstood!"
After Ruoxi learned the reason why the queen thanked her, she couldn't help but chuckle:
"My little sister is tired of staying in the capital and wants to live in the south for a few years. After hearing this, Your Majesty will abdicate the throne to the prince and accompany my little sister to Jiangnan..."
Ruoxi has some resentment towards the queen, although it's not deep, but she definitely has it.
Therefore, on weekdays, when Ruoxi was chatting with the queen, she would occasionally use guns and sticks and say some offensive words.
Fortunately, Rou Ze is kind-hearted, treats others tolerantly, and never wants to be jealous. This is how the "deep sisterly love" has been maintained for more than 20 years.
, family harmony” relationship.
Now, knowing that the emperor's Zen throne was to accompany Ruoxi, his beloved concubine, to the south of the Yangtze River, Rouze was secretly relieved.
At the very least, this thing that represents the Zen position should be absolutely true.
Since ancient times, being a prince has been a high-risk profession.
Rouze has been worried about her son's position as prince after her son Honghui was canonized as prince, but the emperor always doted on the imperial concubine Ruoxi.
More than ten years have passed. Fortunately, Ruoxi's four sons have all gone to sea to join the feudal clan.
The remaining princes in the palace are no match for the prince at all.
Now, it is confirmed that the emperor will be enthroned after the year, and Rou Ze can't wait to tell her son the good news.
In the autumn of the thirteenth year of Yongzheng's reign.
Su Mingzhe abdicated the throne to Prince Honghui.
Honghui decided on his own reign name - Qianlong.
After the ceremony, Su Mingzhe took his concubines to the south of the Yangtze River and settled next to the West Lake.
Ten thousand years are long, but one life's love is short.
More than ten years later, Rou Ze, who was in poor health, passed away first.
For this reason, Honghui went down to the south of the Yangtze River to pay homage in person and to keep filial piety for a hundred days.
Then twenty years passed.
The women around Su Mingzhe gradually passed away, and he also faked his death and escaped, returned to the outside of Gusu City, and continued to live his secluded life in the company of Concubine Li.
After Qianlong buried the empty coffin, he felt that he was nearly seventy years old and had not much time left, so he began to favor the female cadre and the villain, and began to enjoy life.
As a result, Honghui had a good attitude and actually reigned for sixty years in one breath, living to nearly a hundred years old, and then gave the throne to Prince Yongyan.
After Yongyan ascended the throne, his reign was Jiaqing, and as soon as he came to power, he overthrew his father's new female minister Heshen.
After He Shen's death, the Royal Forest Army seized 1.5 billion taels of silver, 300 million taels of gold, various shops, land deeds, land deeds, etc. from He Mansion, with a value of more than one billion taels.
Therefore, there is a popular saying among the people - "When Heshen falls, Jiaqing will be full."
After Jiaqing succeeded to the throne, he could only follow the old tradition because he had no talent.
The moral integrity of the Qing Dynasty continued to deteriorate.
After Jiaqing's death, the prince succeeded to the throne and was named Daoguang.
After Daoguang succeeded to the throne, although he tried hard to reform the situation, his talents were just like his father Jiaqing, mediocre and mediocre.
After Daoguang died, Prince Yi succeeded to the throne, and his reign was Xianfeng.
As soon as Emperor Xianfeng ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he began to let himself go. Not only did he like a luxurious life, but he also held a large-scale talent show. In less than three years, more than a dozen palaces including the Forbidden City were filled with young girls.
In addition to enjoying an extravagant life, Emperor Xianfeng was also very happy with his achievements and constantly commanded the army to compete for territory with the Western powers.
Overall, there are winners and losers.
In order to support his various absurd behaviors, local governments began to impose excessive taxes.
The common people, who had already enlightened their people's wisdom, were not used to Emperor Xianfeng. They directly held up Emperor Yongzheng's "Tax Code" and shouted the slogan "Rebellion is not guilty" and continued to revolt.
For a time, the Qing Dynasty fell into internal and external troubles.
In order to suppress the domestic uprising, Emperor Xianfeng began to compromise with the Western powers, signed various unequal treaties, and humiliated the country by losing power.
Later, Emperor Xianfeng died after being emperor for more than 20 years, leaving a six-year-old only son to succeed him.
When Su Mingzhe learned that the new emperor had ascended the throne and that his reign was titled "Tongzhi", and that the queen mothers of the two palaces would oversee the affairs behind the curtain, he was completely disappointed with the way of heaven in this world:
"Why must China be allowed to perish?"
"One wither and one with glory, this is the right principle of reincarnation in heaven!"
Plane Tiandao did not expect that Su Mingzhe could not even see through this, and could not help but be extremely disappointed with him:
"Your true self is a saint of the Great Dao, how come your clone doesn't even understand this truth?"
"You also said that I am a saint from the Dao, not a saint from Heaven. Isn't it normal to not understand this truth?"
After Su Mingzhe retorted to Tiandao, he also fell into deep thought:
[The Great Dao Saint and the Tiandao Saint are both Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals. They have jumped out of the long river of time and space and can easily travel through the three thousand worlds of Sumeru. 】
[However, the saints of Tiandao place their souls on the plane of heaven, so there is another saying, "the saints of heaven are the way of heaven, but the way of heaven is not the saints of heaven". To make it clearer, '1 is an integer, but the integer is not 1.' !]
[The Dao Saint is equivalent to an infinite non-cyclic decimal. Compared with the Tiandao Saint in terms of strength, it is impossible to say who is stronger and who is weaker, and has infinite possibilities!]
[I left the Sanqing clone in the Three Thousand Worlds to experience, and then collected the magic power and returned it to my own body. I also wanted to accumulate more and break through the "shackles of Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian"! 】
[Now that I am unable to break through the ultimate truth of reincarnation, my state of mind cannot be perfect, I can only reincarnate in the next life...]
