The struggle of the eight blessings of rebirth

Chapter 351 Finale (Leave the stage and bow)
The queen was angry, so the emperor had no choice but to put his flag down, thinking that although the son was born by his wife, the genes were still in him, and the wife could not be blamed for the deviation of his later upbringing.Immediately stopped cooking.After coaxing for a long time with good words, it was considered that Mao was straightened out.However, Hongzhe's handling of the problem has added another worry to Yinhu.

The two quarreled until the end, but Yinhu surrendered, listened to his wife, and let him go. If he wanted to leave Beijing, let him go out of Beijing, and only put the responsibility on Yinhu, and returned within a time limit.

Who knows, once this case started, Hongzhe was like a bird out of a cage, thinking about going out on business all day long.Although he came back after going out for no more than three months each time, and there were letters from his family during the period, but the child’s no-home personality made Minzhi feel very hurt. The young bird’s wings are hard now, so I can’t be persuaded to tie it up. Can't stop.I don't know if he will remember to come to Yongshou Palace to pay his respects when he comes back next time.

From now on, every time Hongzhe comes to say goodbye, Minzhi will be so sad once, he grows bigger and bigger, and goes further and further away.The deadlines are also getting longer.Because he is often on business trips and the carrier pigeons are not 100% reliable, Minzhi decided to use the modern postal system as a throwback to the Qing Dynasty after thinking hard.

However, what made her sad was still to come. By the time she sent Hongzhe's family letter sent by mail for the first time to the Compassionate Ning Palace, it was already the time when the Empress Dowager was critically ill.

In November of the 15th year of Dezhao, the Empress Dowager was critically ill. Minzhi personally served the decoction for dozens of days and did not see any improvement. The first thing Yinhu went to court every day was to go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to ask the Empress Dowager, and the second thing was to gather all the people in the Tai Hospital. The imperial physician held a small meeting.He also ordered Princess Jingke and his son-in-law to return immediately, and of course Hongzhe who was floating in Yunnan to condolences to the border guards was also ordered.

On November 15th, Dezhao Year [-], the Empress Dowager was dying, and Yinhu, the Empress, her younger brother, Prince Rong, the imperial sister, Princess Gu Lun Jingke, her forehead, and all the princes and grandchildren, including the son of Princess Jingke, surrounded her Beside the old lady.Minzhi's eyes turned red at the bedside, but the old lady looked left and right: "Zhe'er...hasn't you come back yet?" Yinhu sighed heavily, and turned to look out the window.

Minzhi wept while coaxing the old lady: "He is on the way, I'm afraid he has entered the Shenwumen now, please wait a little longer, wait a little longer..." However, the queen mother still did not wait until Hongzhe finally arrived. When he returned, he closed his eyes.At the age of 79.

The next day, when Hongzhe rushed back, he learned that his grandmother had passed away, so he immediately knelt on the square outside the Palace of Compassion and Ning, unable to get up for a long time.One day later, Hongzhe was dismissed from the rank and closed his doors to contemplate his mistakes.There is no deadline.

Minzhi didn't plead for mercy, because she didn't know how to face this different son. She couldn't bear to beat and scold him, and he didn't listen to him.The Empress Dowager died of illness, Hongzhe was grounded, Minzhi was exhausted physically and mentally, and her asthma, which she hadn't suffered for many years, reappeared.Because of this, Yinhu became even more angry with Hongzhe, and ordered anyone who pleads to be punished with fifty sticks first.

Four, five, six, three elder brothers were all beaten, and the courtiers were even more silent, not daring to speak out, even Prince Rong hid the edge at home in the name of his mother's filial piety.The absurdity of Baylor, the number one absurdity in the dynasty, is no longer news talk, but this time, the second elder brother has touched the emperor's scales.

Everyone knows that the empress dowager and the empress are the two people most cherished by the emperor. Now the matter of the second elder brother made the empress dowager die with regret, and the empress' old illness relapsed.How could the emperor not be angry?
The most persistent person to intercede for Hongzhe is Hongyan.After he went to beg his mother first, he saw Minzhi lying on the bed panting and unable to get up, and then ran to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Of course, Yinhu had no intention of seeing him in his anger, but he cared about his bones that were more fragile than glass , did not use sticks on him, but sent him back to the mansion.

Hongyan had no choice but to knock on the door of Hongwang's house.As Hongzhe's twin brother, Hongwang didn't say a single word about this incident, which made the brothers feel that the eldest brother is very unkind.However, when Hongyan saw Hongwang's deity, all the dissatisfaction in his heart was dispelled. The eldest brother and the second brother are twins, just like the fifth and sixth brothers, there is a subtle telepathy between the brothers.What's more, the eldest brother is definitely not the kind of person who will do nothing but avoid disasters at home. He definitely has his reasons for avoiding disasters at home, but right now, everyone has tried it, and the Queen Mother is sick again. Who else can save the second brother?
On the winter solstice of the 15th year of Dezhao, the emperor reopened Jingling to bury the queen mother, and posthumously named her Queen Xiaociren, adding one more word than the other queen titles of Kangxi to show respect.When Empress Xiaociren was in peace, Yinhu ordered all the princes Baylor and the princes to send off to see her off, but Hongzhe, the second son of the emperor, was still grounded.The queen also failed to make the trip because of poor health.

The 15th year of Dezhao's New Year's dinner was changed due to the absence of the empress dowager's new funeral and the grounding of the second prince.Yinhu sat alone in the dragon chair, facing the sitting princes and clan princes, everyone was silent.Hongwang sat at the first place but didn't look up from the beginning to the end, just eating with his head down.

Of course Yinhu saw it, and after the banquet, the father and son came to Yongshou Palace together.Minzhi had finished drinking the medicine and rested.Hearing that the emperor and Da Bei Le came hand in hand, he hurriedly wanted to get up with Qiu Ju's support.Yinhu had already stepped into the inner hall first: "Don't get up, you have to take a good rest after drinking the medicine, I know you are worried about your precious son, I brought Wang'er here, you can ask him."

Saying that, he waved away the servant, and helped her straighten her body with her own hands, and padded the pillow, knowing that it would be more uncomfortable for people with asthma to lie flat.When Hongwang went up to greet him, Minzhi's first question was: "Have you talked to him? What exactly is he thinking?"

Hongwang frowned: "I dare not hide it. The reason why my second brother leaves Beijing so often and refuses to return home is actually related to the rumors in the market. As for the rumors, my son is really hard to say. Please ask Huang Ama Mother forgive me."

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed respectfully: "Second brother deeply blames himself for not being able to see Huang Mama for the last time." Yinhu's face was livid: "My brother is so stubborn, you, as a brother, are also responsible "Yes, the son knows his mistake, it's just the second brother's entanglement, the son thinks..." Hongwang raised his head, glanced at Minzhi quickly, then lowered his head: "Only the Empress can untie it."

Yinhu rebuffed straight away: "Your mother-in-law is so angry with you guys, and you still make her worry? Go back and tell him to reflect on me. When will I be able to reflect on myself, and when will I come out!" Hongwang nodded, Just as he was about to leave, Minzhi stopped him, panting and said, "Wang'er, tell him, Queen Mother..."

"Okay, stop talking, I'm tired of listening!" Yinhu interrupted her: "Take a break, I have already handed over the ancestor worship activities on the first day of the new year to the imperial concubine, so don't worry about it !" Hongwang withdrew, Minzhi wanted to say something but was interrupted by him, coughing and panting anxiously.Yinhu's eyes darkened, and he waved Hongwang back, and came over to hold her in his arms, helping her to calm down: "Look, a problem that I haven't made for a long time has started again now! My body is like this, and I'm still old. Think about those few. Didn’t you say that they are all grown up, since they are all grown up, let them go.”

"You are willing, I am reluctant! Zhe'er, he..." Min Zhi just raised his voice, but was restrained by Yinhu: "I know, I don't know what's on your mind. What's wrong with Zhe'er, I know it, I think, Wanger knows it too, but we are powerless to change. He started this way earlier than you and I imagined. It’s only your fault that you made them both too smart .”

"Did you just let him go all the way to the dark? How could you... how could you do this..." Minzhi was a little anxious, and wanted to turn over but was hugged tightly by Yinhu: "It's okay, he is luckier than me. It's you and me, no matter how many misunderstandings there are, it will dissipate. It's you, I haven't seen you so sick for a long time... I'm a little worried."

Minzhi panted and snuggled into his arms: "I'm fine, I'm just tired..." Yinhu still hugged her, but Minzhi said: "Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and there are many things waiting for the emperor to do. Set it up early."

"I'm here to rest." Yinhu was unmoved.Minzhi frowned: "But, I'm like this..." For a long time, Yinhu was silent, and finally, Minzhi fell asleep sleepily, her brows still deeply frowned.Yinhu stretched out his hand to smooth the wrinkle but put it down slumpedly, and sighed faintly: "When will you be able to care more about yourself, always for others. Forget about yourself." Of course Minzhi, who was sleeping soundly, couldn't hear him sigh.

Hongzhe's confinement lasted until March of the 16th year of Dezhao, and he missed New Year's Eve, New Year, and the Emperor's Longevity Festival.The first thing he did when he came out was to come to Yongshou Palace to plead guilty to Minzhi, and vowed never to do anything that would make Queen Mother worry again.

Minzhi didn't express her joy, she just said that you can live as you like, just thinking about our family members in your heart, and we are satisfied.

Hongzhe did behave a lot in the following four years. The most obvious change was the birth of his eldest son and daughter.Now that he is a father, he should take it easy, Minzhi thought comfortingly.

In the 16th year of Dezhao, Yinti, the eldest son of the former emperor, died. Yinti was very lenient and returned his former title of Zhijun King to his son, and he himself was buried with Beizi ceremony.In fact, Yinti went to sea one step ahead of Yinfeng when the navy was first built in the seventh year of Dezhao.

It's just that his situation is different from Yinreng's. The order to confine him for life was issued by the first emperor, so Yinti could not get out alive, and his children were not like Yinreng's children who could be brought out to be raised.Therefore, Yinti asked himself to wait until the youngest son came of age before announcing his death.

The place Yinti went to is now the East Indies, which was further away than Yinfeng, and the territory under his jurisdiction was also larger than his.When he discovered that the local aborigines speak Chinese as their mother tongue, he decisively decided to use this place as his final struggle base in life.However, he failed to complete it. His youngest son inherited his father's business and occupied the entire East Indies in the 25th year of Dezhao.

During this period of time, another milestone event was settled, that is, the Qing Dynasty had its own national flag and national emblem.

Minzhi had always thought that the Qing Dynasty would have a unified national flag, but such a matter of course became a difficult problem in the face of the Qing Dynasty, which was based on the Eight Banners.Red, white, yellow and blue all want to play the leading role, and they earn a lot of money.

In the 12th year of Dezhao, the Qing Dynasty annexed North Korea. Yin Rengzuo asked to erect the Zhenghuang flag on the top of the North Korean palace to show sovereignty, but the owner of the Lower Five Banners opposed it. This made the issue of the national flag really urgent.

When her opinion was rejected, Minzhi had no illusions about the first version of the Qing flag.As a result, when the Academy of Fine Arts submitted the first version of the artwork, she almost choked to death on the tea, a five-clawed dragon in four colors of red, white, yellow and blue, with a large area of ​​bright yellow in the background.I've never seen a flag like this.

When the army was reorganized, the concept of the Eight Banners was deliberately blurred, and only the triangular banner representing the Zhenghuang Banner was used as the military flag, indicating that the military power was monopolized by the emperor.I didn't expect to go back now, and the Qing Dynasty still couldn't get out of the predicament of the Eight Banners.

However, she still wanted to try to do something.So she drew a new sample, the dragon was the same dragon, but changed to a black background with golden scales, the dragon was surrounded by red, white and blue auspicious clouds, and the background was still bright yellow.

In the end, the queen's sample draft was always approved by the Military Aircraft Department, and the main pattern of the national flag was determined as the national emblem at the same time, which was affixed on the foreign documents of the Qing Dynasty to represent the country.

In the summer of Dezhao 19, Yinhu took his wife to a newly built garden and told her that the garden was named Xuanyuan and it was a gift specially given to her.The most important point is that this garden was named by Yinhu himself, supervised by Hongzhe himself, and children have a share in the design plan.

Minzhi was kept in the dark until Yinhu brought her here, and Hongwang took his younger brothers to give her a tour guide, and she was moved to tears.In the 20th year of Dezhao, after Hongzhe invited her to go to Russia, she brought her grandson to live here for a few days every year.

In the 20th year of Dezhao, Yinzhen was transferred back to Beijing by Yinhu.After being imprisoned in the clan's mansion for ten years, and staying in Jingling for another ten years, Yinzhen at this time has long lost the momentum of leading troops into the palace. Yinzhen died of myocarditis three years ago. Mynah was stimulated by the imperial decree of the Guoan Gang one after another, and part of the reason was himself.

After Er Niang's death, he originally hated mynah very much, but he couldn't tell whether he hated mynah more or hated fourth brother more.But later, when he knew that after Er Niang's death, the starling took her off her slave status and carried her into the Zhenglan Banner, he stopped hating her.Not only Erniang, but the old thirteenth concubine Erniang Min and all the concubines with slave status were expelled from slavery. The starling's trick bought a lot of hearts, he secretly thought.

Seeing that the fourth brother was getting old and finally died, he finally believed that none of them could beat the starling, nor had his keen insight. He could easily divert conflicts and unite as many fundamentals as possible. This is his talent, which no one can match. and.This talent is used in government affairs, that is, sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently.

After Yinzhen returned to Beijing, the first thing he did was to make an apology, and Yinhu readily accepted and gave him a copy of the sea chart.Yinzhen was mentally prepared to be exiled, but Yinhu gave him the seal of the governor of Penghu, asking him to go there to establish a military base.So far, the southeast, north, and west gateways of the Qing Dynasty have been determined.

In the 23rd year of Dezhao, Dingjun Wang Hongyan died, and the emperor and empress came to pay homage in person, and the empress fainted on the spot.In the 25th year of Dezhao, Yinhu appointed the eldest son Hongwang as the crown prince, Hongzhe was named the king of the county, the fourth, fifth, and sixth elder brothers were named Baylor, and the seven or eight resident sons were underage and untitled.Only their mother was promoted to nobleman.

The queen's two adopted daughters were married to Wenniut and Keerqin respectively, and the fourth and fifth princesses who were also always alive were named Heshuo Helin and Heshuo Helin. Helin married Zhang Jia, but Hezhang married Zhang Jia. When he arrived in Nanjing, he married Li Wei's son.Man and Han are married.Yinhu also appointed a local daughter-in-law for Princess Jingke's son, the Lu family of Haining, a noble daughter of an aristocratic family.

In the 27th year of Dezhao, the prince began to supervise the country. Yinhu was not autocratic to death like his father Kangxi, but handed over the entire military aircraft department to his son.I took my wife to live in the summer resort.No son or daughter, no promise to stay forever, no one other than Ouchi guards and servants.

At this time, Minzhi was already sick, and since she passed out from crying at Hongyan's funeral, her body has been weakening day by day. At the beginning, she woke up crying every night, dreaming that Hongyan was crying to her, saying that she couldn't bear to leave the emperor's forehead Mother, she couldn't dream of him later, and she was even more sad, thinking that her son resented her for not wanting to dream again.

After Yinhu became the crown prince in the 25th year of Dezhao, Minzhi has been living in Yongshou Palace and no longer interferes with any affairs. Yinhu has no choice but to hand over the palace affairs to the imperial concubine Tong who is already in her 90s.And invited Concubine Mi, Concubine Qin and Concubine Xi, the surviving concubines of the former emperor, to help take care of it.

After two years like this, her illness still did not improve and became increasingly serious, Yinhu finally decided to hand over the government affairs to Hongwang, and took his wife to the Summer Resort to recuperate. Yinhu still resolutely took her away from the capital to prevent her from being troubled by her unpaid debts to her children.

In the first half of her life, the wife worked hard for her own future, and when she was old, she had to worry about her five sons.Although he knew from birth that the third child would not live long, but when it was time for the white-haired man to send the black-haired man, the wife still couldn't bear the blow and fell down.Although everyone persuaded her that the third child can live long enough to marry a wife and have children, it is a special gift from God to have both children, but she still insists that God has taken back all the blessings given to her.

Hongzhe's departure gave him the idea of ​​staying away from power and being at ease. He was happy, and they all tolerated it to the point of connivance.But as a mother, Minzhi's sadness is predictable.She often lingered in Xuanyuan, recalling that year, her sons surrounded her and took her through every corner of Xuanyuan.Now things are different.

She tolerated the separation of life and death brought about by the children, and the cold window that he couldn't be with him all the time, in the gentlest way.She often tells herself that everything goes well only in the congratulatory speech, and that not everything goes well is the most normal life.She used this attitude in life to persuade him who often disagrees with the Military Aircraft Department, to ease the conflicts between them, and spread the reputation of the emperor's benevolence and kindness all over the world.

It is because she is always so good that I feel owed, why I can’t love you one day earlier and love you more every day, thinking that you will always be by my side, so I keep moving forward, and when I look back, I am shocked to find that you are already within a hundred feet. outside.Why do you still smile like that, your face is still pale, your hair has already been covered with snow, why do you still smile so softly?
After arriving at the Mountain Resort, the two have been inseparable.Minzhi didn't think it was inappropriate to persuade him to go back, nor did he think it was good, and proposed to stay here forever in the future.

She is very quiet, because she can feel that life is passing by, and now she is very happy to see him not far away when she opens her eyes.She knew that he was nervous about her body, afraid that in the blink of an eye, heaven and man would be separated forever.So the first thing I do when I wake up every day is to say to him: "I'm fine."

However, he was still nervous, and often said some strange things in a childish manner, such as: "Jing Ke's grandson was born just now, what if Hongwang doesn't remember his grandpa's will in the future?"

Minzhi closed her eyes and leaned against his arms: "Don't you still have the emperor's?"

"What if I don't remember either?"

"Then write it down, and you won't forget it when you write it down." Minzhi rubbed her eyes sleepily.

"Writing it down is too much trouble, just remind me."

Speaking of this, I realized that the person in my arms had already fallen asleep, and sighed softly: "You answered me for everything, but this one?"

On the first day of the first lunar month in the 23rd year of Dezhao, the crown prince Hongwang brought all the princes and clan relatives to the summer resort to pay New Year's greetings to his parents, but was told that the emperor and the queen had left early in the morning without saying where they were going.

The prince and everyone thought hard and meditated for a long time, and Hongwang Fu came to his heart: "Go, go to Xuanling!" Xuanling is the resting place that Yinhu built for himself after he ascended the throne. Dezhao started construction in three years and completed it in five years.During this period, the emperor visited the construction site several times.After the mausoleum was built, the officials of the Ministry of Rites debated endlessly about what to name the mausoleum, vacillating between Xuan, Huan, Gong, and Xian.They feel that these words can represent the virtues of today's saints.

Yinhu looked at the excerpt and immediately replied: "Shengshan Zhou heard that Xuan, since I ascended the throne, I have inherited the legacy of the late emperor, and only took it as my duty to publicize the achievements of the holy grandfather and do what the holy grandfather did not do during his lifetime. Name it Xuan, Fang It can show my wishes." In fact, the clan members all know that the emperor decided on the word Xuan without thinking.It is inseparable from the "Xiaozi" in the queen's boudoir name.Originally, I thought Xuanling was everything, but then there was an additional Xuanyuan. Does the emperor think that Xuanling is not obvious enough?
Hongwang and others went to the imperial mausoleum and saw that there were guards guarded by Ouchi, and they knew that they were Huang Ama's personal guards.Huang Ama took Huang'eniang to the main tomb.Everyone had to stand outside respectfully.

Yinhu inside supported his wife standing in the open space in front of the shrine, holding hands: "I still remember, the first time I brought you here, you asked me, you sleep here, where do I sleep? I said, you sleep on my bed." on the right hand side."

Minzhi held his hand, squinted her eyes and smiled: "Yes, I asked back then, why are you in the middle and I am on the right, so there are other people in the empty space on the left."

"So, I changed my mind later, did you see..." Yinhu pointed to the marks on the ground: "I sleep on the right side, you sleep on the left side, just like we do now, my left hand is holding your right hand. You just I'm a little short."

"Why am I on the left?" Minzhi leaned on his arm, still smiling.

"You want to be on the right?" Yinhu took advantage of the situation and held her waist, fearing that she would be tired from standing for a long time.

Min Zhi leaned on him and shook her head lightly: "It's okay, we've always been like this, it's good."

"Yeah, we've always been like this, it's good..." Yinhu sighed softly: "Let's go, the children are probably waiting outside right now... Don't make them worry."

"Well, let's go... I have to go, the child is waiting... I smell the peppermint fragrance on your body again... It's still the same as before, my favorite..."

On the first day of the first month of the 30th year of Dezhao, Queen Guo Luoluo died in the tomb of Xuanling at the age of seventy.I cried so hard that I couldn't do it, which alarmed the prince and the royal relatives.

In February of the 30th year of Dezhao, the queen was named Empress Xiaokangwen.In the posthumous posthumous law, being gentle and happy is called Kang, and morality is rich and well-known, and adding the word filial piety, it can be said that this is the highest level of praise for a female family member in the house. This is just a simple posthumous posthumous title. , up to 21 characters.

In April of the 30th year of Dezhao, the second son of the emperor returned to Beijing and wept for sacrifices in Fengxian Hall.The queen's coffin had been parked in the Fengxian Hall before, waiting for her long-delayed beloved son.Hongzhe stayed in the hall for 30 days. Thirty days later, Yinhu slapped him out of Fengxian Hall.The queen moved to Feng'an in Lingxuan Garden, and Yinhu has always lived in Xuanyuan.Never left again.

In February of the 31st year of Dezhao, on the Emperor's Longevity Day, Yinhu suddenly said to Hongwang: "Why can't you be more reliable, so that I can feel more at ease..." Hongwang was shocked: "Father said so , my son doesn’t dare to reassure my father.” Yinhu smiled and took the book in his hand and wanted to knock him on the head, but when he got up, he withdrew his hand and stroked the cover lightly: “Don’t worry, I’m still not willing in the end. It's..."

Hongwang bowed to the ground and remained silent.What the father held in his hand was the "Warring States Policy" handwritten by the mother.When the queen mother was around, the father regarded it as a treasure.The queen mother was afraid that it would be damaged if she turned it too much, so she specially made a cover for it.Later, the father wrapped a layer of lambskin outside the cover.In just one year, the lambskin cover has been worn out.

Hongwang knew that he and his brothers would not be able to keep his father, even with the addition of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.He always thought about going back to Xuanling with his mother.

On February 31, the 23st year of Dezhao, the emperor died in Xuanyuan.The prince ascended the throne. Twenty-seven days later, Emperor Fengxian entered Xuanling.Hongzhe asked himself to guard the spirit, and the new emperor allowed him, but he was only allowed to stay there for three years. After three years, he returned to Beijing to serve. Unexpectedly, on the anniversary of the death of the emperor three years later, when everyone went to Xuanling, they found that Hongzhe had died before his death. .The new emperor caressed the corpse and wept bitterly, and issued an edict to bury Hongzhe in the west of Xuanling Mausoleum, which was Xuanxi Mausoleum.
