When Yin Lu and Fu Jin gave birth to He Yao, he was too young. As a result, the child died in infancy, and Hong Yan was not very healthy when he was born. Fortunately, Hong Yan was adopted, otherwise the Nian family would have been born.
E Niang, whose own child came to dote on her, didn't know if she would grow up! It must have been that Yin Lu had insight into this, and that's why she suddenly asked Kangxi to adopt him.
Yinlu now has six sons and five six daughters. The eldest son Hongming and the fourth son Hongzao are descended from the Fucha family of Xifujin. The second son Hongxian is descended from the Niuyan family of Shufujin. The fifth son Hongyan is originally from the Nian family of Xifujin.
, now the prince of Jixiang County is his heir, and his sixth son, Hongzhi, is born to his concubine Zhuge.
The eldest daughter of Yinlu, Gefuhe, is a descendant of the Yierjia family of the concubine Fujin. The second daughter Mitang (nicknamed Ermier) is a descendant of the Guerjia family of the direct Fujin family. The third daughter Heyao is a descendant of the Fujinnian family.
Died in infancy; the fourth daughter, He Xin, was the daughter of Kong, a concubine that Yin Lu brought back from Shandong, and Kong was said to be the niece of Duke Yan; and the fifth daughter, He Le, was the daughter of Du, a concubine that Yin Lu brought back from Suhang.
Du is the adopted daughter of Du Changxing, the magistrate of Suzhou. The last two concubines were donated by local officials when Yinlu was governing the river. The sixth daughter, Heya, was just born to Nian.
Still in infancy.
"The emperor's mother has never been in good health. Please ask these juniors to go to Cining Palace to pay her respects." Kangxi ordered with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Wen Xi agreed, and the Queen Mother lingered on the sickbed. After all, she was old and had been ill since last year. She finally got better in the spring of the year.
"People are rare in the past seventy years, so the Queen Mother can be considered to have lived a long life." Kangxi sighed longly and said, the Queen Mother is already seventy-seven years old this year. She has such a long life due to many years of proper maintenance. Kangxi thought about his body
, I’m afraid I won’t live to that age, so I have to arrange some things quickly.
Kangxi looked in the direction of Changchun Garden and said with a smile: "When I abdicate, how about I stay with you in Changchun Garden forever?"
Wen Xi responded to Kangxi with a tender smile: "Okay." Kangxi was a man who was attached to power. Being able to say such a thing surprised Wen Xi, but she also felt that it was expected. Over the years, she had seen with the naked eye
Su Su saw that Kangxi's gray hair was getting more and more gray, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were getting denser. Maybe he was tired too.
Since the 52nd year of Kangxi, after the Qiansou Banquet, Kangxi no longer had one court meeting every day, but once every three days. He also gradually delegated power to his son within a certain range, and handed over the Ministry of Rites to Prince Cheng Yinzhi.
, the Ministry of Husbandry was handed over to Prince Yong Yinzhen, the Ministry of Industry was handed over to Prince Yinzhen, the Ministry of Punishments was handed over to Prince Yinyou of Chunjun and Prince Yiner of Dunjun, and the Ministry of War was the only place where his son was not allowed to get involved.
With the decentralization of power, Kangxi was naturally able to rest. He did not want to be so busy in the first half of his life. When he was free from court affairs, he moved into Changchun Garden and lived there for a while.
The palace is extremely hot in summer, but Changchun Garden is much better, with green mountains and green waters and pleasant air.
It happened that Kangxi also had some free time, so he took a scroll of Wang Hongxu's painting "Song Breeze Ten Thousand Valleys" and commented on it with Wen Xi. Wang Hongxu was an average painter, and his calligraphy was outstanding. On one side of the painting "Pine Wind Ten Thousand Valleys" he wrote a poem: "Xiu Xiu"
The strips are blowing over the layers of Han, and the dense leaves are blocking the sky. The strong wind knows the strength, and the snow shows the sincerity." It is the "Poetry of the Cold Pine" written by Fan Yun of the Southern Dynasty.
"Although Wang Hongxu is a second disciple of Dong Qichang, he is also quite as handsome as Mi Fu. He is as good as the leaders of other schools since the Wei and Jin Dynasties. He leaves no paper and leaves people scrambling to hide it." Kangxi said in appreciation with a smile.
"Wang Hongxu?" Wen Xi vaguely felt that the name sounded familiar. She had just heard from Yin Li that Wang Hongxu had submitted a memorial to the emperor, saying that all the princes before Kangxi had appointed crown princes, but Prince Yuan and Prince Xiangjun had not crowned crown princes.
Therefore, Kangxi was asked to issue an order to establish a son for the two kings.
"Wang Hongxu seems to be the teacher of Shi Wenbing's only son Fudali?" Wen Xi suddenly thought of this, but her tone was not very sure.
Kangxi smiled meaningfully and pointed to the poem inscribed on the picture of Pine Breeze and Ten Thousand Valleys: "The wind knows the integrity, the snow shows the sincerity. I feel that this Wang Hongxu is getting older, and not only his calligraphy has become more sophisticated
, he is also a better man! Wang Hongxu is conceited about his talent and knowledge and refuses to accept disciples easily. Fu Dali is brave and foolhardy. Originally, he would never look down on such a disciple, but now——" Kangxi prolonged his tone, but did not
Go on.
Wen Xi also knew that Kangxi refuted Wang Hongxu's memorial on the grounds that the Yinlu disciples were young. Guar Jiayilan was worried because Hongdan had not been established as the crown prince for a long time, so she called his father Shi Wenbing
to operate.
Kangxi did not agree to Wang Hongxu's performance, but he did not reprimand him. Instead, he transferred Wang Hongxu, the Minister of the Ministry of Work, to the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu. Although it was a smooth transfer, how could the Ministry of Industry be compared with the Ministry of Hubu? It's just that the Ministry of Hunan was Yinzhen's territory.
However, Kangxi asked officials from the Guarjia family to serve, apparently to control Prince Yong Yinzhen, who almost owned the entire household department.
After dinner, Wen Xi washed off the thick makeup on her face and put on soft silk pajamas. As expected, her whole body felt much more relaxed. After all, she was already considered an elderly woman in this era. In order to conceal her age, she naturally needed to wear heavy makeup every day.
. Basically this is the case for concubines who are about the same age as Wen Xi, but others are doing it to cover up the clusters of wrinkles underneath, while Wen Xi is trying to cover up the skin that is as white as twenty years old.
Holding a book of historical records in hand, I was flipping through them boredly. Throughout the ages, only Sima Qian's history was more responsible, unlike later historians who mostly praised the emperor with such praise. Unfortunately, there was no "Sima Qian" in the Qing Dynasty.
The "History of the Ming Dynasty" compiled by the Qing Dynasty has more or less traces of discrediting the Ming Dynasty. The "History of the Ming Dynasty" was compiled by Xu Wenyuan, and Wen Xi has also read it. The writing style is quite good. It is a pity that the official history through the ages, only the "Historical Records" is somewhat interesting.
.
"Why did you take off your makeup so quickly?" Kangxi walked to the bed and asked softly.
Wen Xi closed the historical record and said: "Apply two taels of pearl powder every day, it won't make people feel bored!" With layers of color applied on Duan Duan's face, Wen Xi gets up every morning to put on makeup, as if she is painting the wall.
Feel.
Kangxi chuckled and said, "I still think you look better with makeup."
Wen Xi looked sideways at Kangxi: "You look good, so you don't need to put on makeup at night, right?" At night, it's time for the skin to breathe. Kangxi was getting older, and he seemed to particularly like the look of Wen Xi in colorful clothes. I don't know if it was.
Jealous of the tender face after removing makeup...
Wen Xi yawned sleepily. She stretched out her hand to lower the beaded curtain and said, "Although the Emperor doesn't have to go to court tomorrow, he should rest early."
Kangxi smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face deepened a little: "I learned the bad habit of going to bed early and getting up late from you!"
Wen Xi slipped into the bed and closed her eyes tiredly. Just when she was about to fall asleep, Kangxi's deep and old voice sounded in her ears: "I'll wait for a few more years..."
Wen Xi let out a dull sigh. It would be okay for her to wait a few more years, but Kangxi couldn't wait too long. Thinking of this, Wen Xi suddenly felt a dull sadness in her heart.
Time has engraved the years on his face. Wen Xi feels more and more that Kangxi is really old. His steps are getting slower and his face is getting older. Fortunately, he is still in good spirits. Although he cannot compare with when he was young. But compared with his age
Kangxi was considered to be "stronger with age".
At the end of the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi's reign, the Empress Dowager became seriously ill, and the concubines and princes from the harem and various princes came to the palace in turn to attend to the illness. Even Kangxi abandoned government affairs and served diligently at the bedside. But this time, he could not recover after all. He died in Bingxu in December.
He was seventy-seven years old. The whole country was in mourning.
The winter of this year was spent in mourning. The Queen Mother died, and Kangxi became older and older. At the end of the year, the wind and cold invaded the body, and it took more than ten days for him to recover.
On the 20th day of the first lunar month in the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign, the Empress Dowager had died less than a hundred days ago. As a daughter-in-law, Wen Xi naturally had to wear mourning. She only wore a silver-white flag dress without patterns. She arrived in front of the Yangxin Hall in a warm sedan.
Before entering, Kangxi's continuous coughing could be heard. Wen Xi shook her head silently and carried the food box inside.
Just listen to a roar as loud as thunder: "Wantless!!"
A memorial with auspicious cloud patterns was thrown out by Kangxi and rolled down at Wen Xi's feet. Wen Xi squatted down and picked up the memorial that made Kang Xi furious. At a glance, she saw the words "Fuli Er" in it.
"My brother is the crown prince" is such a crucial sentence.
Wen Xi calmly folded the memorial and put it back in front of Kangxi's imperial court. At this time, is there anyone still petitioning for the restoration of Yinfeng?
Wen Xi silently took out a few snacks and a bowl of rock sugar bird's nest from the food box, and said: "Your Majesty, please drink a bowl of bird's nest first to moisten your throat."
"Ahem!" Kangxi was wearing a large black fox fur cloak, and his old face turned red due to the violent coughing. "Maybe I have been too kind to Yinreng these years!"
In the past few years, the guards of Xian'an Palace have been relaxed a bit. The daily expenses are comparable to those of the prince. In addition to not being able to come in and out at will, Yin Reng is also considered to have no worries about food and clothing. Compared with the eldest brother who was in captivity
Much better.
Wen Xi didn't answer, but reminded: "The bird's nest won't be good if it gets cold."
Kangxi then calmed down his anger slightly, picked up the white jade bowl with auspicious patterns, lowered his head and took a sip, then frowned and said: "It's too sweet, I'm not Yinlu!" - Yinlu loved sweets since he was a child.
Wen Xi took out the freshly brewed thick black concoction from the food box and said: "This is Sichuan clam loquat dew. It is the most effective for relieving coughs and is slightly bitter, so I added more rock sugar to the bird's nest. The emperor drank two bowls together.
It’s neither bitter nor sweet.”
Kangxi couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm not afraid of hardship!" Although he said this, he still drank one bowl at a time, and drank both bowls in harmony.
After using it up, Kangxi picked up the red Wanshou pattern langhao pen again and wrote two imperial edicts in his own hand, cutting out the crown prince's ceremonial guard and crown uniform that were almost the same as those of the emperor in the past. The other one was to cut off Zhu Tianbao's imperial edict for review by the Hanlin Academy.
Position, head of the relocation department.
Wen Xi didn't know who Zhu Tianbao was, but it was the Hanlin Academy who had just petitioned to restore the crown prince. Wen Xi suddenly became suspicious and couldn't help but interjected: "Isn't the Hanlin Academy's seventh grade review?
I remember whether the head of the Sixth Department is... the sixth rank or the junior sixth rank." - Why was he promoted?
Kangxi looked helpless and could only patiently explain: "The Hanlin Academy's review is usually done by those who were born in the top three Jinshi and stayed in the academy."
Wen Xi was confused after hearing this. What happened to Shujishi being promoted?
Kangxi knew that Wen Xi was an idiot in political matters, so he had to explain it in more detail: "The first-class Jinshi in the Imperial Examination will be awarded to Hanlin editors and editors. In addition, those who are ranked first among the second-class and third-class scholars and have potential will be awarded to Shujishi."
With their status, let them study in the Hanlin Academy first, and then be awarded various official positions."
"The term of Shujishi is three years. After three years, they will be assessed and called 'dismissal'. Those with outstanding results will stay in the Hanlin and be taught editing or review. They will officially become Hanlin, called 'liu'. Others will be sent to the six departments as directors.
, Censor, once again, he will be sent to another place as an official!" This means that Zhu Tianbao is an outstanding scholar among the common people, and received the highest treatment of "Liu Guan", although his rank is not as good as that of the six ministers, so Kangxi passed the examination for disbanding the Guan.
Those of the first grade will be assigned to the second grade and assigned to the Ministry of Industry to take charge.
Kangxi became more and more nagging: "If you are not a Jinshi, you will not enter the Hanlin Academy, and if you are not an Hanlin Academy, you will not enter the cabinet! Zhang Ying, Wang Hongxu and others came out of the Hanlin Academy!"
As for the cabinet bachelor, this gentle man knew that Zhang Ying was the minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Wenhua Palace, while Wang Hongxu was a minister of the Ministry of Household and a bachelor of the Wuying Palace. The so-called bachelor was called the "prime minister" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
That is to say, this Zhu Tianbao originally had the opportunity to be the prime minister, but it is a pity that he was wiped out by Kangxi! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your support is my greatest
