Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 23 The Emperor Frustrated
On the sixth day of October, Emperor Kangxi drove out of the city from Dongzhimen.Because this tour was the completion of the Chengde Palace, it was the first time for the princes of Eastern and Western Mongolia to be summoned to the auspicious meeting ceremony. The declaration of cultural relics must be enough to "show virtue", so it was very grand.The eighth elder brother Yin was in charge of the Ministry of Punishment with one hand and in charge of this matter with the other. In the days before the deadline, he was busy day and night. He also invited the eldest elder brother to be his helper, together with officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Lifan Academy. According to the conductor, the bells in Jingyang were not ready until five drums in the early morning of that day.The minions in Beijing had received the decree from the Shuntian Prefecture two days earlier. When the sky wasn't bright, every house was already salivating. Cigarettes were lingering on the tables, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers all over the city was like boiling a pot of gruel.Although we live in the same city as the Emperor, there are very few opportunities to see the "Holy Face" in person. Therefore, the area from Zhengyangmen Guandi Temple to Dongzhimen is packed with people who are all watching the excitement.

Until the time comes, we can hear the bells and drums of the East and West Drum Towers ringing in unison, and the music of Tiananmen Square is loud.When people opened their eyes to look, yellow umbrellas and flags covering the sky and the sun were coming from Tiananmen Square.At the front are 54 canopies and four bright yellow Kowloon crank covers.Then two emerald green purple zhizhi caps, 24 straight-handled nine-dragon caps, and large pure purple and pure yellow caps followed, swaggering like a mighty yellow dragon pressing down on the ground, pouring out incessantly.The younger ones had never seen this scene before, and just looked at it with confused eyes. The old people who had seen Kangxi's imperial commander kneeling on the ground whispered: This is the longevity fan, this is the double fan of yellow dragon, the double fan of red dragon, that It's Yu Bao... Sixteen faith flags, leopard tail dragon head poles, and dragon flags are unfolding in the breeze. Some of them say "teaching filial piety", and some say "Xing Bi Jiao", some celebrating charity, and praising merit. Huaiyuan, Zhenwu Fuwen, Nayan and Jinshan cannot be fully described.Leading the way, there were 24 large banners of the Eight Banners and sixteen feathered staffs, all carried on carriages, rattling and roaring like angry horses, followed closely by forty large banners sold with gold, but the flags were embroidered Auspicious birds and beasts, such as phoenix, flying luan, crane, peacock, yellow swan, white pheasant, red bird, falcon, vibrating heron, singing kite, wandering scale, colorful lion, white zebra, horned rui, red bear, yellow bear, Tianlu, Jixie, rhinoceros, Tianma, Tianlu... At this point, they saw the emperor's golden chariot and the prince's silver chariot following them.The emperor's eldest son Yin, the eighth son Yin, the ninth son Yin, and the emperor's tenth son Yin were riding on royal horses with tassels, wearing dragon robes and yellow mantles. They held swords on their waists in front of them to guide the way. They had swords in front of the emperor to guard Erundai and Deleng. Tai, Liu Tiecheng, and Su Lun were accompanied by forty second-class guards to protect them, and they drove the car slowly.What can be seen from the back is the Royal Forest Army, holding out-and-out flags, five-color golden flags, knotted velvet, yellow velvet, lying melons, standing melons, stirrups and drums, broadswords, bows and arrows, leopard tail guns, and bird guns, under the cold sun. The light is scorching, shining, and brilliant.At this time, the people who saw him off were noisy and excited. Two rows of men, women, old and children in one street knelt down and sang loudly like a mountain roaring and a tsunami:

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Yinzhi and Yin were riding in the same car and walking behind the imperial guards.Both of them were speechless. They just looked at the mesmerizing flow of people outside through the screen window. When they left Dongzhimen and passed the official reception pavilion, Yinfang breathed a sigh of relief, leaned behind the car and said, "It's hard for me, both ends." I was so busy that I managed to do it so well."

"This is the handwriting of the elder brother." Yin Zhi said with a cold smile, "Don't look at the two people riding side by side with smiles blooming on their faces, but they are actually gritting their teeth in their hearts. Just for the 'credit' for arranging the car, the boss will go How many grievances I complained there, and the eighth brother also said that the boss was jealous of him. The two of them are enough to look at, they are brothers, what do you mean!"

Yin glanced at Yinzhi warily, but did not reply. He stared at the loess official road in front of the car and remained silent. His thoughts returned to Wu Sidao. In the first half of the month, he had ordered someone to send Wu Sidao to Chengde and place him in his house in the Lion Garden. Here, have you arrived?The prince's bodyguards have all been changed. I heard that the bodyguards in front of Emperor Chengde will also be changed. It is obvious that he does not trust the prince or the eldest brother.In these troubled times, Wu Sidao, a wise man, cannot be missing by his side.However, Yinzhi made up his mind to have a good talk with Yinzhi in the car. Seeing his cold expression, he couldn't find much to say for a while. After a long time, he smiled to himself and said: "The world is really deplorable now. You can do your best." If you don't want to please, if you don't do your best to please, which one of you who really exerts your strength to do things for the court will have good results? When Shi Shilun left, I gave him some gifts, but who knew it would cause a lot of gossip - ridiculous, such an upright official, he really asked him to ride on a donkey to take office What?"

"Ah? Ah - gossip?" Yin came back to his senses and felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was too dull. He moved his body and said, "That's just a villain's opinion. I also gave away the money!" Yinzhi said with a smile: " Do you think that by staying away, you will avoid talking? Little do you know that there are many unpredictable things in the world! Last time Lao Shi came to my place to borrow "The Collection of Master Huang Nie". You know that this is a banned book, and it is full of inferences about the rise and fall of dynasties. I'm afraid The man below knew what was wrong and went to ask for it in person. Lao Shi grinned at me and said, "You are as petty as Fourth Brother, so mean that you won't even recognize him! What's the big deal about a bird's book?" I advised him: "Don't always follow your Fourth Brother." If you can't get through it, you don't know his difficulties. If your brothers don't understand, who else will?' Lao Shi said: 'What kind of filial piety and loyalty does he have? A hypocrite!'" As he spoke, he stopped talking.Yin glanced at Yinzhi in surprise, trying to figure out the meaning of these words, and asked: "How could you see it if you didn't ask him?"

Yinzhi smiled and said: "It's still an old saying. The summer resort was repaired that day. The emperor read the memorial and said, 'It's cold but not harsh, warm but not hot, good, it's really a summer resort', the old ten said that the fourth brother pushed back at that time , saying, 'The Emperor's Villa really escapes the summer heat, and the people are still in the Rehe', making Wansui feel uncomfortable, is this considered a filial son?"

Yin did have this incident, but it was said much more euphemistically at the time. I never expected that such an aboveboard and aboveboard act of admonishment would become "unfilial"!He snorted, bit his lip with his fine teeth, and said: "I go my own way, and this is indeed the case. The emperor was not happy at the time and ignored me for a few days. I am not sad. I am a loner. What can I say? What? Later, the emperor thought better of it and asked Zhang Tingyu to go to my place to announce the edict, saying that it was "a mistake for stabbing someone in front of me, and I will be rewarded", and gave me a Ruyi. Lao Shi's fart only showed that he was a You idiot." "Lao Shi is Lao Ba's cannon, and he will put the charge there." Yinzhi said thoughtfully, "I refuted him at that time: the style of the king is different from the style of the common people. Have you read the Song Dynasty? Yu's "Feng Fu"? It's unfilial to remonstrate. How shallow and ignorant you are!" Yin smiled and said: "It's not that he doesn't understand the truth. In his eyes, everyone except Lao Ba is not a good person. People are most afraid of being biased. .”

"The so-called heart is not right, and the eyes are not right." Because of the cool wind blowing in from the car gap, Yinzhi tucked up his lynx monkey skin cloak and said with a smile: "Yin is indeed like this. At that time, he said: 'It is good to enter Jianyuan. Yes, Bigan is an advance method, Wei Zheng is an advance method, Dongfang Shuo is an advance method, and Li Bi is an advance method - can't we be more relaxed? Put it more euphemistically? Where can the fourth brother be like that? If you fart, let it go, regardless of whether other people's noses can tolerate it or not! Listen, although this person is rough, he is not stupid!"

Yinwei glanced at Yinzhi. He knew that Prince Cheng had always been cautious in his words and had a deep city. What did these words mean today?He was tempted to provoke and test, because he said: "I no longer have these precautions. I think that I am just an Ama. The chickens are flying around and the pheasants are flying all over the place. What else can I do? It seems that it may not be possible these days. ! If you have other bastard thoughts, it would be really terrible to interfere with domestic and state affairs. Even now, when I think of what happened on August 60th, I feel terrified. If no one supports Lao Shi, how dare he!" Yinzhi reacted when he saw him. He came to take stock of himself, but he was not in a hurry to speak. He pondered for a long time before sneering: "Yes, who is not afraid? What the emperor is afraid of is that he will imitate Duke Huan of Qi and live a heroic life without ending. What about me? I just want us to be barbarians. Don’t follow the example of the Five Husbands, which is a short-lived flash in the pan. Don’t follow the Mongolians, who will be over in ninety years. Zhu Yuanzhang said that the barbarians have no luck for a hundred years, and his aphorisms are shocking. The Qing Dynasty has been in existence for more than [-] years!"

Yin shuddered and said nothing. He only heard the monotonous sound of horse hooves outside the car. Looking through the window, he saw the withered and yellow grass on the road, the salt-white ground directly to the sky, and flocks of crows rising and falling on the grassy beach. Circling gracefully.After a long time, he sighed and said: "Three brother's words are shocking. Unfortunately, we are barbarians and have inherent deficiencies. However, according to my opinion, although our government has many shortcomings, the founding spirit of the country is still there. As long as we work hard to govern, why will there be chaos in the future? Everything is destiny, you and I can only do our current human affairs." Yinzhi stared at Yin as if he didn't recognize him, smiled, and said: "Human affairs? My fourth brother has always been smart. Are you confused today or are you going around in circles with me? Son? Seeing that this trip is about to change, you really didn't smell it at all?" The wheel of the car was about to be cushioned by a stone, and Yin swayed before he could sit still, and his face became extremely pale: "Third brother, what's the news? You can’t hide it from me!”

"This trip is not good for the prince," Yinzhi said in a low voice. "Boss and Laoba have been preparing for it for a long time. The month before, they sent all the think tanks in the palace to Chengde to prepare for consultants. Wang Hongxu and Aling Aye also I went to Rehe after asking for errands, but you were still in the dark. The prince just felt awkward. With his status, who dares to tell the truth to him? If I were the prince, I couldn't ask them to leave Lao Wang Dang behind. Capital! Stupid!"

"What, you want to... abolish the second brother?"

"That's not sure," Yinzhi said politely, "Yao dismissed Prince Danzhu and found a quiet place to take care of him for the elderly. That's one way; One way; Li Shimin is too cruel to deal with the prince, the emperor wants to be famous, so it is not necessary to use such a bad strategy."

There was a blank in Yin's heart, and there was no whereabouts. He didn't even hear what Yinzhi said clearly. He thought about it for a long time and asked: "For such a big thing, there has to be a charge, right? I saw him the day before yesterday, and he talked about it. You're smiling, you don't have anything on your mind, and Long Live didn't even let it out. Third brother, it's really hard for your words to spread!" Yinzhi said with a smile, "Wake up! I haven't seen the eldest brother, eighth brother, or ninth brother. Long live the tenth prince. Isn't it enough to have bodyguards? Besides, why did the escort leave you and me? In the eyes of others, we are princelings! The prince has been in politics for many years and has made no achievements. The government has been corrupted and the treasury is empty. Isn’t it a sin? Don’t underestimate this. This is the root cause. The foundation created by Long Live is too heavy and he can’t bear it! In the past two months, Long Live mentioned Suo Etu’s rebellion three times, saying, “Suo Etu is the first emperor of this dynasty.” "A sinner, what's his crime? Isn't it just to establish a prince and protect the prince?" Yin chewed on these words, and although he felt shocked, it was somewhat exaggerated.The instability in government affairs is not something that happens in a day, nor is it the responsibility of one person. Even Wu Sidao and Wen Jue said that this is the "general trend" and advocated maintaining the status of "princeling" to wait and see.While thinking about it, Yinzhi said again: "You don't know yet, the prince brought medicine with him and asked Li Dequan and Xing Nian to clean it up and check it out!"

"What kind of medicine?" Yin was shocked and asked with a stutter: "Is it...poison?"

"Long live also thought so at first." Yinzhi sneered, "It turned out that Wang Bailing of the Imperial Hospital had it checked, but it was an aphrodisiac. I was in the Hall of Mental Cultivation at the time, and you didn't see the ugly face of Wan live! I didn't stop it, I'm afraid That's when it exploded!"

Yin's hands were covered in cold sweat, and he suddenly remembered that Zhu Tianbao once whispered: "The fourth master advised the prince to stop running to the sixth palace in the west. Although they are all from the same family, they are all young people after all. There are men and women. The difference is the difference in status. The melons and plums are grown under the melons and plums. It makes people say half a word. The lower officials are responsible for trivial matters. What kind of reputation does the prince have?" This Yin Datian carries aphrodisiacs in the daytime and calls him the emperor. I realized that I was really careless.If it was for sexual intercourse in his own palace, it would just make him a laughing stock, and if there was really something dirty and messy in the harem... He didn't dare to think about it any further, and he said for a long time: "No wonder the boss is walking in the wind these days. Please be prepared. Qing Palace is ready!"

"In your words, Amitabha, I finally understand something!" Yinzhi spent a long time in the car, waiting for Yinzhi's words, and said with a smile: "This is what the boss has in mind! He didn't even check himself. Does your Yinzhaobu'er have such a blessing? Since ancient times, when establishing a prince, in addition to establishing a direct descendant and an elder, there is also the establishment of a virtuous person!"

At this point, Yinzhi has completely shown his cards: The prince can't do it, and the boss can't do it either. Yinzhi is a political enemy. What do you, the fourth son, plan to do?If you don’t wear a hat when it rains, you’ll be protected from the rain, right?Yin squinted his eyes, feeling like there was a snow hole in his heart, but he pretended to be vague and said with a smile: "The way of heaven is vast, and it is difficult to know most of the numbers! If something really happens with the prince, monarch, and ministers, I still have to protect him. I am not afraid of such things. I don't dare to think or say it, but if I really can't keep it, I will naturally follow the lead of my third brother. But the eldest brother is determined to win, and the eighth tiger is eyeing him. You have to know it. This kind of thing will fall down in a somersault, and generations of children and grandchildren will not be able to overcome it. Come here!" What he was thinking about was Yin. He wanted to establish virtuous people, and currently Lao Ba was the first to bear the brunt of it. But how could he pour cold water on Yinzhi's burning thoughts, which were like burning coals?After receiving these words from Yin, Yinzhi suddenly felt at ease. He leaned back relaxedly and said, "It's just gossip. You and I don't have the same thoughts? Who is willing to jump into the fire pit and take that one, except Er Wuyan?" Hot seat, I'm not crazy about it! Whatever it is... I'm sleepy, just take a nap..." The weather was not good. It started to rain and snow after driving past Miyun. Thousands of people were carrying luggage and honor guards. After seven days of trekking on the muddy and cold Yanshan Ancient Road, we finally arrived in Chengde.The princes from various tribes in Inner and Outer Mongolia had arrived ten days ago, and they all lived in their palaces and waited for the Emperor's arrival.This summer resort was surveyed in the 22nd year of Kangxi's reign, and it was not fully developed until the 43rd year of Kangxi's reign. It was already magnificent and majestic.There are twelve palaces inside. Jinshan Mountain in the northwest and Heishan Mountain in the northeast serve as barriers to the villa. There are three gates, Zhongli, Dehui and Fengmen in the south. The forbidden garden is inside.Because an edict has been issued, this villa is a place where foreign barbarians often visit. Mongolian Taijis and princes in the south and north of the desert, red and yellow lamas of Qinghai-Tibet, religious leaders and Korean envoys all chose good places to build it almost at the same time as the palace. Countless inns and villas were built to prepare for the pilgrimage.Some shrewd merchants spotted this geomantic treasure and built shops and buildings like a spider web around the villa.In more than ten years, the shores of Rehe, which used to be full of smoke and weeds, have become a metropolis.When the car arrived that night, all the princes and princes were waiting on their knees in front of the reed shed. The streets were decorated with lights and colorful decorations, wine and fragrant flowers were offered on the tables, fireworks were brilliant, and firecrackers were crackling. It was a lively scene, but the imperial guards who were driving behind them couldn't stop for a moment. After resting, Kangxi was arranged to stay in Yanbo Zhishuangzhai, and then he set up defenses.Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi, who were accompanying the driver, were both serving as ministers of bodyguards. They had to take care of everything inside and outside. They also had to deal with the memorial sent by Tong Guowei from Beijing, served the emperor and the prince, and took care of the residences of the princes and elder brothers. Jing Zhi, even though the two of them were in good spirits, they were so tired that they fell off their backs.

But Kangxi was very excited. The next day, he issued an order for the kings of Mongolia to meet with him, give a banquet in the afternoon, and drink with the prince around the table. He didn't rest until the time when he came down and read the chapters.Woke up early again, ordered the prince to bring elder brother to gather together in the Qingshu mountain pavilion, and the followers watched the scenery of the villa for a whole day, and returned to the Zhai hall in the evening, and there was a decree: go hunting in the paddock tomorrow.

Rehe Paddock is located in Futian, adjacent to Wanshuyuan, northeast of the villa, south of Black Mountain and north of Lake Sai.Its land is densely forested and grassy, ​​with steep mountains and wide waters. It is home to countless deer, elk, deer, roe deer, bears, tigers, leopards, jackals, etc. I don’t know which poet named it "Cong". Xun Fengtian once came here to hunt, and Zhang Tingyu named it "Futian", which means the field where the emperor hunts.It has since become a royal forbidden area.

At si o'clock on the second day, Kangxi came to Futian in a sedan chair.More than a hundred Mongolian Khans, princes, county kings, and Beizi Baylor who had already been waiting on the Arrow Tower in Wengcheng were full of energy, all of them gearing up, ready to show off in front of Yujia today.Unexpectedly, after everyone greeted him, Kangxi smiled and said to the old Mongolian princes: "You have been hunting with me several times, and you have already learned your skills. This time we will sit back and enjoy the rewards. Let's watch from the sidelines while eating wine. What are the abilities of these sons of yours—if the sons of the kings are willing to go down to play, they will naturally let it go." When these princes heard that the emperor wanted to test their elder brothers, they all made fun of it, and restrained their children not to show off, and only followed Kangxi. Sit upstairs.Kangxi had called his elder brothers and said: "The Mongolian kings are all here, don't make me look ugly. This garden is full of untamed beasts, one is to be careful, and the other is to be the first." After speaking, he smiled heartily and pointed Pointing to Li Dequan's holding a handle of gemstone carved topaz Ruyi, he said: "Use your skills, regardless of seniority or superiority, whoever hunts the most will be rewarded by Ruyi!"

Everyone immediately became excited.Because the color of this Ruyi is close to bright yellow, it has always been the treasure of Qianqing Palace - Emperor Daxing rewarded it to Kangxi, and now Kangxi wants to reward it again!Yin, who was sitting next to Kangxi, couldn't help but tremble, and his expression became a little uneasy.Yin stared straight at Ruyi and secretly tugged at the skirt of Yin's clothes. Yin gritted his teeth and smiled secretly. Yinxiang nudged Yin with his elbow and whispered: "Look at the virtue of big brother, your saliva is about to drip out! Three! Brother is also hypocritical. He seems to be okay and his hands are sweating. This time we have to save face for the prince!" Yin didn't seem to hear. He glanced at Yin who was calm and composed, knelt down and kowtowed. : "Emperor Ama, I am afraid that this thing is not something that I can afford. I pray that I will choose another thing, so that I can work hard to please you."

"?" Kangxi seemed not to have thought of this, he hesitated and said with a smile: "Our Tian family has so many taboos! Can't we imitate the small family and gamble for gold and silver? In this way, the prince will not fight with you, and the distinction between monarch and minister will be clear. , there won’t be much hindrance.” After saying that, he sent an order to start the feast, and ordered the brothers to go down to the paddock to hunt.

Suddenly, trumpets echoed from all directions. Thousands of soldiers from the good capture camp divided the four flags of green, red, soap and white. They beat drums, fired cannons, waved flags and shouted from all directions. The beasts and weak birds lurking in the lush forests and lush grass were suddenly startled and immediately became confused. They form a group and fly around.Kangxi held the wine glass, glanced coldly at Yin, who had a look of unbearable expression on his face, sighed softly, and smiled at King Horqin beside him: "A gentleman does not go near the cook, for fear of hearing the sound of lamentation, and when eating meat, he pays attention to not cutting it properly. .This is benevolence and righteousness! Human beings are truly the most ruthless things in the world!"

As they were talking, they saw dozens of riders from the east and more than a hundred riders from the north charging towards them. The wild horses were charging through the autumn grass half a man deep, and the dead grass and fallen leaves they stirred up were dancing in the air.When Kangxi took a closer look, he saw Yinxiang to the east and Yin to the north.Yin, together with the emperor's grandson and his disciples' soldiers, each drew their bows and arrows, swung their swords and shot them until they were covered in blood.The animals in the grass were frightened by this sudden catastrophe, and they burrowed in all directions. Some were chopped to pieces with bloody flesh, and some rolled in the grass struggling and wailing.In the northeast, there were two people, Yin and Yin. Yin was in front of them like a madman, and Yin was behind to intercept and collect the prey. He cut off the ears of the beasts and hung them on the horses' buttocks. Yin Yinxiang chopped down many of them to the ground. Take what they have in their pockets.Kangxi couldn't help but chuckle to himself: These two boys have a plan!Only Yinzhi and Yinzhi in the west did not move. Yinzhi opened the net to one side and allowed the wild beasts to escape. The fourth elder brother, Yin, believed in Buddhism and abided by the purpose of not killing. He only took the three princes Hongshi, Hongzhou and Hongli with him. Gou'er Kan'er and others were waiting to guard the northwest. Anyone who broke into the circle would be captured alive. Those who escaped would obey their destiny and would not be shot.

The wind and the remaining clouds are hunting, and the cards will be revealed before the end.After all the calculations, Yinyin came first, followed by Yin. Yinyinxiang was exhausted after killing them, and each of them got third equally. Yin got the least, but they were all living animals, tied up in bunches and presented, but Yinzhi got nothing.

"I have said that the one who preys the most will get this reward." Kangxi smiled and raised his hand to call Yin: "I didn't expect the old ten to show his face, and I will reward you!" After pondering for a while, he turned to ask Yinzhi: "Why do you Get nothing?"

"Your Majesty!" Yin Zhi smiled wryly, and said, "Emperor Yao opened his hunting net and opened a way for the souls to live. My son and I hope that the father and emperor will be the king of Yao and Shun, and not fish for the sake of exhausting the lake. For a wishful handle, with brothers and feet My son is not happy to fight." Kangxi nodded with a smile on hearing this, but Yin said: "I don't have such kindness, I only know whoever has more, the reward will go to whoever. Thanks to Brother Nine for giving me ten roe deer, the disagreement took the lead. Name, Ama, for this reward, thank you very much!" With a big grin, he wanted to accept Ruyi.

Yin Xiang suddenly stopped Yin: "Brother Ten, stay safe and don't be impatient. This is a matter of conscience. If you dare to shout 'I am the first', brother, I will let you!"

"I'm number one!" Yin shouted with raised eyebrows.Then he sneered: "What, you want to bully me again? Are you trying to show off as the general manager again? This is not the Ministry of Accounts!" After saying this, he spat hard.Yin hurriedly explained: "Why bother with such a trivial matter? The tenth brother has proof, the thirteenth brother, please stop fighting!" Kangxi said with a smile: "Thank you Yinxiang for talking about it, how many military books you have read. Hunting and Just like fighting, you have to be careful!"

Yinxiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and ignored Yinzhi's wink, and stuck his neck back: "If I knew that I would hunt with brothers, I would have to be careful. If I knew whoever stole the most would get the reward, my son would rather Follow myna, rest!"

"Are you talking to me?" Kangxi sneered, his face suddenly changed, "Kneel down and slap your mouth!"

Yinxiang's face was as white as snow, his whole body trembling with anger, he knelt down with a plop, and tears welled up in his eyes. Thinking of the uselessness he had suffered these days, he felt even more sad, and he choked up and said: "My son is a superfluous person anyway, and it's meaningless to live. , I'll resign now, Ama take care!" As he spoke, he drew the knife across his neck suddenly, scaring Liu Tiecheng, De Lengtai and other guards to rush up and snatched the precious knife from Yinxiang's hand.

With a sound of "pa", Kangxi smashed the jade ruyi on the battlement stone of the archery tower.
