"What's wrong? Speak slowly so as not to alarm the master. [ ]
Seeing San'anzi like this, Chen Shuangxi's heart skipped a beat, knowing that something must have happened outside, otherwise San'anzi wouldn't be so panicked.
From the day when he learned about the revolt of Wu Sangui's old troops in Mulan Paddock, Kangxi had heard too many "bad things". His face immediately changed, and with a slight movement of his right index finger, he stabbed San'anzi with a flash of light, and asked sternly: "
What's up?"
San'anzi was so frightened by the emperor's gaze that he didn't dare to take a breath, and said hurriedly: "Master, there is another urgent report from Shengjing. The thieves not only burned the tombs of my ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, but also burned the tombs of my ancestors.
His body was dug up by thieves! The thieves sent the skull of Emperor Xianzu to Shengjing, asking us, the Qing Dynasty, to provide gold and silver to redeem our ancestors."
"What?!"
As soon as he heard that the thieves had dug out the corpses of his ancestors, Kangxi's already pale face turned even paler, with no trace of blood. He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. He stood there straight.
Say nothing.
Seeing that the emperor seemed to be stupid, Chen Shuangxi was frightened and hurriedly supported Kangxi and called softly: "Master?..."
Kangxi moved, and he didn't know where the strength came from. He suddenly rushed in front of San'anzi, grabbed him and asked: "Where is the skull of our ancestors!"
"Master...Master..."
San'anzi was suffocated for a while, and he moved his hands to the side and said hurriedly: "It's...outside Donghua Gate, coming to the south room."
Upon hearing this, Kangxi let go of San'anzi, silently returned to the bench, and suddenly kicked the bench over with a loud shout, then squatted on the ground like a child, covered his face and cried bitterly. Chen Shuangxi and San'anzi were frightened.
Several other young eunuchs who were accompanying him hurriedly knelt down, not daring to make a sound.
………
The person who sent the skull of Emperor Xianzu and Xuan to the capital on the order of Prince Kang was Guixiang, the commander of the forward camp of Zhenghuang Banner. When he set off from Shengjing, he was wrapped in white cloth. Before he even arrived outside the palace, he was already wailing.
, the guards on duty at Miyagi were so frightened that they thought some prince had died.
When it was known that the skull of Xianzu was being sent to the capital, chaos broke out inside and outside the palace. The guards on duty hurriedly ordered the eunuchs to get white cloths. Immediately, everyone in the palace was wearing white clothes, crying loudly, and they were so shocked that they were chanting Buddha's name in Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager could not sit still and hurriedly sent a palace maid to ask which prince was absent.
The ministers were also startled by the movement in the palace. When they heard that the bandits had dug up the Yongling Tomb and exhumed the corpses of several emperors, they were all shocked. Before the ministers started to cry, the ministers of the Han Dynasty had already
Lying on the ground at Donghua Gate, they cried bitterly, as if their ancestral graves had been torn apart. Seeing this, all the ministers came to their senses, and immediately knelt down, tearing Donghua apart.
There was a crowd of people kneeling outside the door, and everyone was wailing.
The newly promoted bachelor, Tang Bin, who was walking in the south room, cried the most sadly. He fainted due to excessive grief. The guards were so frightened that they quickly carried him out of the crowd and tried their best to rescue him. After a lot of effort, Tang Bin was finally saved.
When I came back to my senses, my first reaction after waking up was still to open my mouth and cry, crying until I burst into tears. Later, there were no tears left and my throat was hoarse, so I just howled, but it was with deep affection.
This made all the ministers look at him with admiration. They all said that it was not in vain that the emperor used him in such an unusual way. Tang Bin was indeed a loyal minister and a good servant of the Qing Dynasty!
When Suo'etu rushed outside Donghua Gate, the ministers were already crying, and all the good places in the front were occupied. He was embarrassed to let the sad ministers make room for him, so he had to find a place nearby.
He began to cry, and while crying, he did not forget to ask Du Kejian to inform the prince immediately and ask him to come as quickly as possible, so that before the emperor called, the ministers and the emperor could feel the grief of His Royal Highness.
Mingzhu was not idle here either. He had been running between the Ministry of War and the South House, busy mobilizing troops and preparing military supplies. When he heard that the skull of Emperor Xianzuxuan had arrived outside Donghua Gate, he was shocked and couldn't care less about it for two days and two nights. Without closing his eyes, he hurried over. Of course, he did not forget to ask someone to inform the eldest son of the emperor. When he arrived at Donghua Gate, he saw Suo'etu was already there. Mingzhu snorted coldly, his face changed, and she burst into tears. He came out without pushing forward, and just knelt down with a "plop". His crying was very heavy and regular, and even sounded like a rhythm to others. It was different from the crying of the people around him. The sounds respond to each other, rising and falling, and it's really nice to hear.
Gao Shiqi, who came with Alantai and others, saw Mingzhu crying there, and subconsciously wanted to kneel down with him. However, as soon as he thought about it, he took Alantai with him while Mingzhu was not paying attention. He knelt down in the corner of the corner.
After crying like this, most of the incense sticks were filled, and the Queen Mother's decree came from the palace, asking Guixiang to display the emperor's skull to the Qianqing Palace. The royal family princes, the six Manchu and Han ministers, the ministers and the great scholars, and the Eight Banners all entered together. .
Why is it the Emperor's decree?
The ministers were all startled, and soon thought of the emperor's body, and they all had a heavy heart. Those who were qualified to go to Qianqing Palace hurried over, while those who were not qualified still stayed outside Donghua Gate and cried bitterly, but under the cry, Some people have begun to whisper and talk about the war outside the customs. Some people even think that the digging of Yongling Tomb has broken the dragon vein of our Qing Dynasty. What should we do if the dragon vein is broken?
The fifteen-year-old prince Yin and the seventeen-year-old emperor's eldest son Yin had already rushed to the Donghua Gate and were welcomed into the Palace of Qianqing by the eunuchs. The remaining emperor's third and fourth sons were still young, with their foreheads on their foreheads. Under the leadership of the mother, they were waiting in the Queen's Kunning Palace. Most of the concubines didn't know what was going on. They were all worried and frightened. The eunuchs and maids who inquired about the news came back and forth between Kunning Palace and Qianqing Palace one after another.
"The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, inside the gold box is the skull of Emperor Xianzu Xuan. The bandit army has spread to Shengjing that they want the Qing Dynasty to pay 100,000 gold, 1 million silver, 3 million stones of grain, and 100,000 war horses. One hundred thousand pieces of armor will be redeemed for the corpses of Emperor Zhaozu, Emperor Xingzuzhi, and Emperor Jingzuyi, otherwise we will have to take them."
In the Palace of Qianqing, Guixiang's face was covered with tears and he burst into tears.
"What do you want?"
Seeing that her grandson's body and soul were withered, his spirit was not good, and he was still in a trance, Empress Dowager Borzigit's heart ached and she asked Guixiang sternly.
"They are going to crush the corpses of our ancestors and throw them into ashes!" After Guixiang finished speaking, he wailed and kowtowed heavily, and blood immediately oozed out, which was very ferocious.
After hearing this, all the officials in the palace were quiet at first, and then there was a commotion and screams. Prince Lao and Zhuang, regardless of his age, rushed towards the golden box with a single step, hugging the box tightly in his arms, and burst into tears. When the princes saw him, they were all filled with incomprehensible grief and anger. Suddenly, there was a burst of crying in Qianqing Palace.
Mr. Borzigit was horrified, looking at Guixiang's bloody face and was speechless.
"If I don't kill the thief, I will become emperor in vain!"
Kangxi had already reacted, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, he took a few steps forward, his eyes were red, he was breathing heavily and said in an angry voice: "I want to lead the expedition in person, and I want to kill all these traitors with my own hands!"
"I want to lead the expedition myself, I want to kill all these thieves with my own hands!..."
Kangxi's roar echoed in the hall, over and over again.
"Emperor!"
Seeing that her grandson was too excited, Mrs. Borzigit called out softly, but the sound was not loud. However, Kangxi's movements suddenly stopped, and he turned around to look at his grandmother inexplicably, not knowing what she told him to do.
Borzigit did not speak to Kangxi, but asked Guixiang: "What is going on? Tell me carefully. When did the thieves dig Yongling Tomb?"
"Reply to the Queen Mother..."
Guixiang immediately told the Empress Dowager everything about the fall of Wula and the excavation of Yongling in Jilin.
After hearing this, Mr. Borzigit pondered for a moment, got up and walked to the steps. He stared at the golden box for a long time and suddenly said softly: "How did you know that the skull in this box belongs to Emperor Xianzu Xuan? Emperor Taizong built it back then.
When the Jingling Mausoleum was built, the Ai family was in Shengjing. They knew some details about the Yongling Mausoleum. The secrets of the underground palace are unknown to ordinary people. How did the thieves open the underground palace?"
"What does ancestor mean?"
Kangxi looked at his grandmother in confusion, not knowing what she meant by her words. Prince Lao and Zhuang stopped crying and stared blankly at the golden box.
"Based on the Ai family, there is a high probability that the ancestral remains in this box are not taken from Yongling. The Ai family thinks that the thieves are not capable enough to open the door of the Yongling underground palace!"
After finishing speaking, Borzigit glanced at the ministers and said decisively: "The skull in this box must be fake. It is a strategy of the thieves to deceive me, the Qing Dynasty. Humph, they used some unknown human bones to defraud me.
It is really greedy and stupid to clear out so much gold and silver! Not to mention that this box does not belong to the ancestors. Even if it is, our Qing Dynasty cannot use the silver to redeem it. We have nothing to say to these thieves. The Ai family can just say, fight
! As for how to fight, it is up to the emperor to decide." After saying this, he left the Qianqing Palace without looking back, leaving behind a hall of stunned princes and ministers.
Xiaozhuang was the posthumous title of Borjigit, and his original surname was adopted.
