Chapter 2696 Ten Volumes 84

October 27th, Jiachen.

The old emperor, in his octogenarian years, once again went to the Qianqing Gate in person to perform the ceremony of listening to the government at the imperial gate.

It was already winter in the capital at the end of October, the wind was strong, and the clear snow fell like flying flowers in the deep ravines on the old man's face.

On this day, Yumen listened to the government and came to confer Wanxi as the pure empress of Xiaoyi.

The emperor appointed Prince Rui Chunying as the envoy, and Prince Zheng Wuer Gong'a as the deputy envoy. On this day, Gong sent a book of treasures, and the book was presented to Emperor Lingyi as Empress Xiaoyi.

The inscription said: "...today Maojian's husband Yuanliang, Ji Xing Zhou Jia, Zhao here for thousands of years, to protect my descendants. Twenty years of sound and appearance are like yesterday... Specially go back to Guilin, and use Huaiyue Yu Yujiaotu, Mao Ju Shangyi, Yu Chongsheng Li. This book is presented as Empress Xiaoyi."

Most of the books were written by Hanlin, and finally the emperor himself polished them up.The article is full of flashy rhetoric, but the sentence "Twenty years of sound and appearance are like yesterday" has already made people cry...

20 years, that was the year when Wanxi passed away. Up to now, it has been 20 years, so long and so far away, but the emperor said that "the voice and appearance are like yesterday", because even though she has been away for 20 years, but In the past 20 years, he has not missed a day of her voice and smile, so even though it has been 20 years, he still seems to have just finished talking to her face to face yesterday, and saw her softly but playfully to him- - Laugh.

And this sentence, if it is so personal, is not something that the Hanlin dared to write, but it was only added by the emperor himself when he polished it.
.
The most astonishing thing about this canonization ceremony is the "Double Prince Canonization Envoy" - although the old emperor simplified the procedure of Wanxi's canonization ceremony in order to pass on the throne to the grand ceremony, but in the choice of canonization envoy, The old emperor once again resorted to the "unprecedented and unprecedented" and "only one" treatment.

Over the years, in fact, every time Wanxi was promoted to envoy, the emperor chose with great care.

But this time, the treatment was so high that even Empress Xiaoxian, the first wife of the Yuan Dynasty, could not compare with it.

When Empress Xiaoxian was awarded her posthumous title, the official envoy was Prince Zhuang Yunlu, and the deputy envoy was only Prince Pingjun Fu Peng.It was configured for a prince and a county king.

As for Wanxi's posthumous posthumous ceremony, the envoy and deputy envoy are both princes, and both of them are hereditary princes, that is, two of the so-called "eight great princes"!

On the other hand, as for Empress Xiaoxian's canonization envoy, Prince Zhuang is hereditary, but he ranks sixth among the eight families.

As for the king of Pingjun, that is, the Wang family of Keqin County, it only ranked seventh among the eight major families.

Even Prince Zhuang, who ranks higher among these two, has always been very embarrassing in his position in the imperial court: his achievements and prestige are far lower than those of the kings, and he must be hereditary. ——It was just to make up the numbers, so he was given a hereditary replacement.

Among the eight families in the early Qing Dynasty, only Prince Zhuang was born to a non-concubine wife, and he was not worthy of enjoying the Taimiao, which shows his status.

But today, Prince Rui's family, who is serving as the envoy of Wanxi's canonization, is ranked third among the eight great powers, and Prince Zheng is even ranked second among the eight great powers!
The reason why Prince Rui was appointed as the chief envoy and Prince Zheng as the deputy envoy was only because Prince Zheng Wuer Gong'a was still a child.

——The canonization of Wanxi this time is not only an unprecedented configuration of double princes, but also the second and third princes of the eight great masters!With such treatment, Lord Qianlong's harem is unprecedented and incomparable!
