lied to Kangxi

Chapter 610 National Mourning
The empress dowager was ill, very ill.

The fifth child was brought up by the empress dowager herself. He was always by his side, caring for the empress dowager meticulously.

After the old emperor heard the news, he simply moved to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, where he waited for sickness in the morning and evening.

"Well, Ernie, drink it while it's hot, I've tasted it first, it's not bitter." Kangxi held the medicine bowl with his own hands, and brought it to the Empress Dowager's mouth.

The empress dowager shed tears, shook her head slightly, panted and said, "Emperor, I'm afraid it won't work. From now on, you have to take care of your dragon body!"

Kangxi resisted crying, and said in a trembling voice: "Ernie, don't think too much, drink the medicine, and the disease will be cured."

The empress dowager cried: "I really can't drink it anymore, I vomit as soon as I drink it, I can't stand it anymore."

The fifth child couldn't help crying. He was worried that he would irritate the empress dowager, but he didn't dare to cry, so he turned his head away.

Yuzhu standing beside him knew in his heart that the time for the empress dowager had come, and the medicine stone was hopeless.

The old emperor also knew that the empress dowager was really dying. With tears in his eyes, he whispered, "Ene, I have appointed Ejier as the king of Horqin County, and I will eat the prince's salary."

According to the usual practice, the emperor sealed his own brother in front of the patient, which meant that it was really too late, and it was time to express his last wish.

The empress dowager panted, and said intermittently: "Emperor, I just have one wish, to treat my fifth child well, and don't let him be wronged."

The old emperor nodded frequently, and immediately issued an order.

"Jade pillar, draw up the decree."

"Whoo."

Yuzhu knelt down in front of the young couple, holding a pen in his hand, waiting for the old emperor's order.

Without the slightest hesitation, the old emperor said loudly: "I am entrusted with the order of the Empress Dowager, the fifth son of the emperor, Prince Heng Yinqi, to manage the affairs of the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han armies of the Xianghuang Banner, and eat the prince's double salary."

Yuzhu took the lead in writing, and quickly drafted a copy, with gorgeous rhetoric, and a lot of praise for Lao Wu's first draft.

After the old emperor read it, he didn't say anything else, and immediately ordered Wang Chaoqing to use the seal.

In order to show the grand meaning, Wang Jie, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, came to issue the decree in person.

The empress dowager gasped for a while, blushed so much that her neck was thick, and said in a trembling voice: "Old Wu, from now on... You have to take care of yourself... Don't let me be under the nine springs, and I have to worry about you ..."

"Empress Dowager Mama, I..." Lao Wu's heart ached, tears fell like rain, and he couldn't make a sound.

The empress dowager held back her last breath, took a deep look at the fifth child, and finally ascended to the sky.

Kangxi knelt down beside the phoenix couch, kowtowed nine times in an upright manner, and then gave orders.

"The decree was passed down to the world, the empress dowager passed away, and the country's funeral was held. The temples and Taoist temples inside and outside the capital were mourned [-] times."

"Dangdangdang..." Following the old emperor's decree, the temples in the palace began to ring the death knell together.

According to the rules of the Great Qing Huidian, only after the emperor died, can the temples and Taoist temples in the capital ring the death bell for [-] times.

Now, the empress dowager enjoys this treatment, which is a special favor.

Everyone was crying, but Yuzhu dared not stop crying.It's just that the way he cries is quite interesting, sobbing and intermittent.

After the official mourning order was issued, Yu Zhu immediately took off the red tassels on his head.

When the old emperor was almost crying, Yuzhu hurried over to ask for an order, and said in a low voice, "I report to Khan Ama, it's time for you to change into your filial obedience."

The old emperor lost his only elder, and he was in a trance.After listening to Yu Zhu's words, he realized that there was one more important thing to do.

"The decree continues that the Zi Palace of the Empress Dowager Daxing will be temporarily housed in the Ningshou Palace, and will be enshrined in the Xiaodong Tomb on an auspicious day. Princes and ministers above the fourth rank in Beijing will enter the palace to pay homage."

Xiaodong Mausoleum is the first empress mausoleum in the Qing Dynasty, the mother empress dowager, the emblem is: Renxian, also known as the empress dowager Renxian.

Yuzhu retreated into the side hall, and covered the official uniform with white plain clothes.On top of the crown, after picking off the red tassels, it was also covered with a white cloth.

All kinds of objects around the waist were also taken off.

The old emperor wanted to preside over the national funeral in person, but his energy and physical strength were exhausted, so he definitely couldn't bear the hardship.

Under the persuasion of Yu Zhu and Lao Wu, the old emperor finally changed his mind.

In desperation, the old emperor had no choice but to order Lao Wu to be the leader, with Lao Twelve and Yu Zhu as assistants to form a basic funeral team.

Yuzhu is the Duke of Fu, so both Xiuyun and Cao Chun had to put on mourning clothes and come into the palace to cry.

The old emperor has been guarding the empress dowager's body, refusing to leave.

Both the fifth and the twelfth tried to persuade them, but it didn't work at all.

Yuzhu thought about it carefully, then leaned in front of the old emperor, and whispered: "I am reporting to Khan Ama, do you need to notify Yinfeng, the common man?"

The old emperor immediately lifted his spirits, squinted his eyes, and said coldly: "I am still alive, he is so disrespectful, so disrespectful, what face does that evil animal have to pay homage to the Empress Dowager Daxing?"

The old twelfth was so impressed, my little boy, the one who knows Khan Ama best must be Yuzhu.

Yuzhu deliberately mentioned the second child, and to put it bluntly, he wanted to remind the old emperor in disguise: Your old man must take care of the dragon body. If you break your body from crying, the waste prince who has been staying in the palace all the time, in case you are not so peaceful In a blink of an eye, a catastrophe is imminent!
Kangxi followed suit.

In the first half of the old emperor's life, he defeated Oboi, then Wu Sangui, and then Zheng Chenggong.

After defeating all the enemies on the surface, Kangxi fought with his own son Yinfeng again, and the fight was dark.

To this day, the old emperor is still most afraid of his second son Yinfeng.

After all, the second child has been the prince for decades.Even if the second child has been abolished once, he can still gather a large number of Manchurian ministers with real power around him, how can he not take strict precautions?

"Yuzhu, go to Xian'an Palace to pass the decree, so that the common man Yinfeng will mourn nearby." After the old emperor ordered, he made a secret gesture.

Yu Zhu understood and said, "Hey."

After all, the old emperor listened to Yuzhu's persuasion, and after crying for a while, went to the side hall to rest.

After the old emperor rested, Yuzhu took the golden order and took dozens of imperial guards with him to Xian'an Palace.

The four sides of Xian'an Palace are built with three-foot-high walls, and the only exit is the main entrance.

Yu Zhu arrived in front of Xian'an Palace, held up the golden approval order, and shouted sharply: "By order, change defense!"

The Xian'an Palace has always been guarded by the imperial guards. Yuzhu is the foreman of the imperial court. He came with a golden order, and the guards who were originally guarding the Xian'an Palace withdrew one after another.

After arranging the change of defense, Yuzhu walked into Xian'an Palace.

The second child stood in the middle of the yard, looking at the jade pillar approaching step by step with a complicated expression.

"Give a white silk, or a red crane?" Yinfeng was terrified. At this juncture, the sudden appearance of a jade pillar is definitely not a good thing!
