Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 307 Hysterical Kangxi (please subscribe!)

In April 1684, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was seriously ill. After Kangxi heard the news, he rushed to his grandmother's side immediately, waiting around every step of the way, and even personally took medicine for Xiaozhuang.

However, with the help of Radiant Night Pearl, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's condition became more and more serious.

Symptoms range from initial nausea and vomiting to spontaneous bleeding.

As for Xiaozhuang's skin, due to long-term exposure to the radiation of the luminous pearl, the superficial skin cells were damaged. Day after day, blisters and sunburn-like symptoms appeared on the skin, forming ulcer-like symptoms.

What's even more frightening is that as the radiation time prolongs, the radiation can damage her hair follicles and hair, resulting in hair loss everywhere on her body.

Seeing that the imperial doctor was at a loss, Kangxi led the princes and ministers to the Temple of Heaven to pray for Xiaozhuang.

When reciting the Zhu Wen, Kangxi broke down emotionally for a while, crying bitterly and expressing his willingness to extend his grandmother's life with his own life.

However, life and death have fate, and under radiation, all living beings are equal.

It didn't take long for the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang to pass away. Xiaozhuang, who was supposed to have died in 1688, died ahead of schedule.

When Xiaozhuang was dying in the Palace of Compassion in the Qing Dynasty, he said to Kangxi who had been waiting by his side: "Emperor Taizong Wen's Zi Palace has been enshrined for a long time, and he is humble and respectful. It is not convenient to be buried together at this time. Besides, I love your emperor's father dearly." And you, I can't bear to go far away, but I have no regrets in choosing a Ji'an house near Xiaoling Mausoleum!"

The Emperor Taizong Wen mentioned by Xiaozhuang refers to her husband Huang Taiji.

"Father Ru and Ru" are Xiaozhuang's son Shunzhi and grandson Kangxi respectively.

Between the lines, Xiaozhuang pointed out where her fallen leaves returned to her roots, and she asked Kangxi to choose an auspicious place near Xiaoling Mausoleum to bury herself.

This Xiaoling Mausoleum refers to the mausoleum of Shunzhi, located in Zunhua, Hebei Province, and is the first imperial mausoleum in the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty.

This also means that Xiaozhuang asked his grandson Kangxi to bury himself next to his son, not with his husband Huang Taiji.

In ancient times, burying the dead was the basic content of one of the "Five Rituals", and the phenomenon of the mother's tomb accompanying the son's tomb has never been seen before.

Moreover, this burial method is not only inconsistent with the ancient rituals of the Central Plains, but also inconsistent with the traditional funerals of Manchuria.

Even if Xiaozhuang is buried in Xiaoling, Shunzhi has already occupied the "lord" position early and cannot be moved. If Xiaozhuang is buried under Shunzhi, it will be against the relationship between mother and child.

Think before, think after, how to bury grandmother Xiaozhuang?
For Kangxi, this is a great problem.

After repeated consideration, Kangxi made a bold decision: to place his grandmother outside the walls of Xiaoling!
In this way, Xiao Zhuang neither entered the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty, nor was he too far away from her son.

Considering that his grandmother preferred the Palace of Compassion and Peace during her lifetime, Kangxi sent people to demolish the palace, transport all the raw materials to the outside of the Fengshui wall of Xiaoling Mausoleum, and build a "temporary peace palace".

Then, Kangxi sent someone to send the coffin of his grandmother Xiaozhuang to the Temporary Fengdian for placement.

When taking care of Xiaozhuang's funeral, Kangxi found that the luminous pearl given to Xiaozhuang before was also dim.

Kangxi thought that treasures had spirits, and when the master died, the treasures would also dust themselves, but in fact, the energy was exhausted.

Immediately, he ordered Ye Mingzhu to be placed on the chest of Xiaozhuang's corpse, what a filial grandson!

After finishing everything, Kangxi was in a daze in the empty hall.

"Since Shengyu, He Shengliang." Kangxi chanted these words silently in the hall.

Aunt Su Ma, with a sad face and plain clothes beside her, was weeping secretly with the support of two court ladies: "That's right, the old ancestor kept chanting this sentence before he died."

"Oh, what the old ancestor said is right. I have always been inferior to that Mingyao. I am that Zhou Yu, and Mingyao is Zhuge Liang." Emperor Kangxi sat on the dragon chair and looked at the sky outside the palace and sighed.

Aunt Su Ma said again: "The old ancestor also asked me to send a message to the emperor. Before his death, the emperor said that I was lucky in the Qing Dynasty and took advantage of the chaos to occupy the Central Plains. I was trembling every day. The foundation of the Qing Dynasty is not in the Central Plains. If we can claim the title of emperor from the Central Plains, then we can, but if we can’t, we can go back and forth wherever we go, so as not to lose the offerings of our ancestors, and to avoid cutting off the incense of future generations.”

"Where did you go back and forth? No, I will never give up."

Kangxi lined up on the dragon gum and shouted: "The late emperor was cowardly and died early. I will never be cowardly. This is my world, and I will never give it to others. Immediately decree land tax plus one silver per mu, and ten draws for all businesses. Second tax, I want to train a new army again, and fight against Ming Yao."

Looking at the already hysterical Kangxi, Aunt Su Ma shook her head: "I dare not ask the emperor what to do, I only hope that the emperor can love the common people in the world. .I still have to go to the sacrificial hall to guard the spirit of my ancestors, so I'm leaving."

The spring of 1684 AD was considered by Kangxi to be his last chance.

The Qing court finally tore off the veil of hypocrisy and began to levy huge taxes on the localities, causing complaints among the people.

The firearms factory was working all day and all night, manufacturing batches of guns and artillery, and the new army was being trained. Kangxi decided to go all out, and use a large number of new troops to resist the possible war in the coming year of the New Great Wall.

Zhu Kezang looked at the information sent by Jin Yiwei, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Kangxi has lost his calm judgment, and our victory will be effortless."

"Is it that simple?" Chen Yonghua asked back.

"Of course." Zhu Kezang frowned: "Look, within five years, the Tartar Qing Dynasty will definitely be destroyed by my own hands."

"Five years? It seems a bit long." Chen Yonghua sighed.

"Father-in-law, but with our participation, the Qing Dynasty may collapse soon." Zhu Kezang also knew that Chen Yonghua felt that he was old and wanted to see the scene of the unification of the mountains and rivers earlier, so he comforted him.

But Wang Fuzhi reminded: "Your Majesty, whenever a regime in the Central Plains is eliminated, there will always be many survivors, old and young. They are either those who have vested interests in the destruction of the dynasty, or the spiritual slaves who have been completely tamed by the dynasty. They will always spare no effort to restore the old. towards."

"I think these people are like a car with the arms of a mantis, so there is nothing to worry about." Zhu Kezang thought it was no big deal.

"Your Majesty, if you want to deal with these people, you should prepare early."

In fact, Wang Fuzhi was considered to be the survivors of the Ming Dynasty. In the early days, the Qing Dynasty also hunted and killed them in various ways. Later, seeing that the situation was stable, they left them alone.

Zhu Kezang said: "It is difficult to get rid of these people who are full of fantasies about the previous dynasty. It will take at least several decades to reform their thinking, and it will gradually subside after the death of the older generation. The old and the young, those who have mental braids, will be executed directly."
