Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

In September, news came from Fusang that in order to prevent the outflow of copper raw materials produced in Fusang, the shogunate announced the "New Order of Zhengde", limiting the number of Tang ships to Japan to [-] per year.

As soon as this order came out, the number of Tang ships arriving in Nagasaki dropped sharply.

In October, Uya Ercan passed away.

Kangxi wrote that Yinzhen went to lay tea and wine, and the silver was one thousand taels, and the rest should be handled according to the funeral of the Minister of Internal Affairs.

After Umalu knew about it, he also sent the eunuch Zhao Yan, the leader of the palace, to send tea and rice.

This is already a favor.

Wait until it's all over.

After Yinzhen reported to Kangxi that the matter was settled, he went to see Umalu.

"It was organized by Uncle Mafa. Niu Hulu's mansion said there was something to do, so he only showed up at the funeral for a while and then left."

Yinzhen refers to Mayanzhu who married into Niu Hulu's mansion.

Umalu heard the words and only said: "You have worked hard."

Umalu saw him silent.

She warned: "Since Ama left, Mafa will go again, and there is no one at home to support her. She must avoid us, so as not to make Ah Ling unhappy."

She slowly covered her teacup: "Over the years, she has regarded A Ling A as her heaven. Although she has returned home, she has not been sincere. People in Wu Ya's family and I know this."

"Let's go with her."

Niu Hulu's family has a good relationship with Yinhu.

And everyone inside and outside the court knows that the fourth master Yinzhen and the eighth master and his party have always had a rift.

In order to show his position, Ah Ling, he and other family members naturally avoid Yinzhen.

Due to her filial piety, Wuya Mayanzhu was able to go back to attend the funeral.

In the future, even if there is no contact with them, it will be normal.

Yinzhen is well-informed now, and it's not the first time he has seen this kind of person, but he still has some stalks in his heart.

His lips twitched: "But Er Niang, you are the imperial father's concubine..."

Umalu looked calm: "Her husband is the first-rank internal minister of the previous dynasty."

Umalu lowered his eyes and said: "You are a man, so you don't understand. A married woman can only rely on her husband's family."

She looked back at Yinzhen: "That's why I often advise you to treat your wives and concubines better."

Yinzhen was silent for a while, suppressed the displeasure in his heart, nodded and said: "Yes."

Seeing that he still cared a little bit, Umalu said with a smile, "If you're okay, take Jingshu out for a walk. It's so boring to argue with them."

Yinzhen responded, sat with Umalu for a while, and then went down to attend to political affairs.

Ulanara Jingshu lived a few days, and brought her child into the palace to accompany Umalu.

Umalu smiled and said, "You have a heart."

"It's okay." Jing Shu said with a smile, "I've been discussing matters in Beijing with Shi San Ye these days."

"what happened?"

"I heard from Qin Tianjian that the heavy snow this year may cause a disaster."

"Oh." Umalu responded, "Did the discussion come to fruition?"

Jing Shu smiled and said, "I don't care about these, how would I know?"

She changed the subject again: "My lord has always been safe, and I think I already have an idea in my heart."

The weather is cold now, and it seems to be colder than before.

Umalu twirled the beads, and asked Yin Shuang'er to take some banknotes for Jingshu: "Go back to Yinzhen, and ask them to prepare more thatch quilts and food."

"Yes."

Jing Shu accepted it and chatted for a few words before leaving.

In the past few years, Umalu has gradually stopped talking about sex, and feels tired when talking to people.

She was silent, as if she wanted to blend in with the red walls and green tiles in the Forbidden City.

She gradually became a member of the residual history.

In 1716 AD, the 55rd year of Kangxi.

In the first month, Ma Guiren passed away.

Because it was too late to make the funeral ceremony, Kangxi ordered Concubine Rong to take the guard of honor and make it up for Concubine Rong later.

The heavy snow in the middle of Beijing really caused a disaster, crushing many houses in the west of Beijing, and wailing everywhere.

Kangxi got the news early and ordered Yinzhen to make preparations in advance, and now he directly sends Yinzhen and Yinqi to help the disaster.

Fortunately, because of the early preparations, there were not many casualties.

More than a dozen people died, dozens were seriously injured, and hundreds of people were emotionally injured.

Already considered good.

Afterwards, cotton-padded clothes were distributed and porridge was prepared for relief, and Yinzhen was so busy that his feet never touched the ground.

Yinqi is also a guardian, but he is kind and generous, and he always believes in forgiving and forgiving, as long as those people don't do too much.

He just turned a blind eye and let them go.

Yinzhen is stubborn and lofty, and there is no sand in his eyes.When he guards, he should be what he should be, and there must be no mistakes or omissions.

If one person takes bribes, some people will not get what they deserve.

During the disaster relief, everyone loved that Prince He Shuoheng more than this Prince He Shuoyong.

The same is true of the people.

They didn't care about the twists and turns, they just remembered that the smiling Prince He Shuoheng was like Maitreya Buddha, how festive and loving.

As for the other one, with a black face, he was frightened to death, like the King of Hades.

They all love that Prince He Shuoheng.

Yinqi met him often, and advised him: "There is no cat that doesn't steal. As long as it is done, there will be less. Why do you do this, and the common people don't think of you, and those petty officials will instead will hold a grudge against you."

Yin Qi said: "You can relax, everyone will have a better life."

But Yinzhen stubbornly said: "Today you leak a little, tomorrow he leaks a little, sooner or later it will leak into a sieve. I don't want to."

"You are always worrying unfoundedly. Even if there is a day, it will be a hundred years later. We are dead, so we don't care about the flood." Yinqi patted him on the shoulder, "Fourth brother, I know you are doing it." People who are practical. But those ordinary people don’t think so much. They only see the surface. Whoever smiles at them, they think who is a good person.”

Yin Qi persuaded: "You, please smile more."

After being silent for a while, Yinzhen said: "I know that you are all for me, but I am just such a person, with such a disposition."

They all knew that Yinzhen was saying that he could not change, nor did he plan to change.

Yin Qi sighed softly and said nothing more.

He said goodbye first and left.

After walking a long distance, he raised the sedan chair curtain and looked back at Yinzhen.

His fourth brother has had the same temperament since he was a child. He only does what he thinks is right and doesn't care about anything else.

That's why the fourth brother, no matter what his status is, will befriend him, the seventh child, and the thirteenth child.

To the prince, the fourth brother also treated each other with sincerity.

The fourth brother was never the kind of person who would come because of benefits and leave because of no benefits.

When he was young, he liked such a fourth brother very much.

Later, when he grew up, he worried that the fourth brother would suffer because of this virtue sooner or later.

But he thought at that time, when the fourth brother suffered a loss, he would know to change.

Fast forward decades, and now they are all in their forties, but the fourth brother has never changed.

He has long since changed beyond recognition.

In his heart, he was envious and jealous of his fourth brother, and he also had a little inexplicable emotion.

How can someone be so stubborn and never be changed by this secular exterior?

Fourth brother is very good.

It is he who has changed.

He put down the curtain of the sedan chair with a wry smile, and there was only a deep sigh in the sedan chair.

Later, Kangxi also found out about this, and he only laughed.

Even Wei Zhu, who had served him since childhood, didn't know what his laughter meant.

On the fifth day of February, the upstart died.

Like nobleman Ma, because it was too late to make the funeral ceremony, follow the example of nobleman Ma, use the honor guard of Concubine Hui, and make it up for Concubine Hui later.

In March, Niu Hulu's Ling'a fell ill, and Kangxi immediately sent an imperial doctor to treat him, and then granted imperial medicine education for recuperation.

Later, Kangxi personally accounted for the Yi hexagram, and it turned out to be auspicious.

He sent someone to inform Ah Ling about this matter, and after that, Ah Ling's illness really got better.

On May 24, the concubine Chen gave birth to the emperor's [-] sons, who were later called Yinmi.

Tour in June.

Ah Ling'a is still sick, so he was not selected this year.

When Kangxi visited outside the Great Wall, he did not forget to tell the people in A Ling'a's house that no matter how sick he was, he had to listen to it every day.

Even after getting A Ling'a's letter, Kangxi sent his servants to visit him from time to time.

It was written in the letter that after taking the medicine, Ah Ling'a had no effect and did not want to eat or drink.

After Kangxi thought about it for a while, he summoned Princess Gulun Rongxian: "It's probably the food in Beijing. He's tired of it. You might as well make some specialties on the grassland. I'll order someone to send it to him."

Princess Rongxian of Gu Lun was ordered to make meals, and more than a dozen servants took orders from her.

After it was finished, Kangxi sent someone to send it back quickly, along with the roe deer, deer and other fresh things obtained in the paddock.

Before Kangxi left, he also ordered the princes who stayed in Beijing to find a doctor for him.

Yinzhen has always been close to Westerners, and he recommended many famous Western doctors to go to Fengzhao for a visit.

However, the king of Hades wants people to die at the third watch, who can keep them until the fifth watch.

After returning to Beijing in September, Kangxi went out of the palace to visit him in private.

A Ling'a, who had been in bed for a long time, became thinner and thinner.

Kangxi looked at him and sighed a little: "Before Empress Xiaozhao passed away, she repeatedly asked me to take good care of Niu Hulu's family, but now..."

He sighed deeply.

The thin old man was lying on the bed, dying: "It's the slave who has a poor life... I hope the emperor thinks that I have done my best after being a slave... In the future, if the disciples in the family make mistakes, don't worry about them."

Kangxi agreed.

On October 21, Niu Hulu died.

When Kangxi heard about it, he was very sad.

Then the princes and Baylor of the four banners of Xianghuang, Zhengbai, Xiangbai, and Zhenglan on the left wing expressed their condolences, and sent the ministers and guards of Xianghuang Banner to drink tea and wine, and gave four horses and 2000 taels of silver, which belonged to nine The officers and soldiers of the assistant leaders all wear filial piety.

The queen mother sent the chief eunuch to give tea and rice, and all the concubines sent the chief eunuch to give tea and wine.

On the day before the initiation, the chief eunuch was sent to see the spirit.

On the date of publication, Kangxi ordered Yinzhen, Prince of Heshuoyong, Yinqi, Prince of Heshuoheng, Wang Yin of Dorodon County, the seventeenth elder brother Yinli, and the guards of the Minister of Xianghuang Yiqi to escort him. He also ordered the seventeenth elder brother Fujin to be sent to cemetery.

Afterwards, he pursued his posthumous title Minke and erected a monument on the tomb.

It is the utmost grace.

This year, it can be called nothing.

The whole palace celebrates from top to bottom.

Even the New Year's Eve banquet was a little more lively than in previous years.

In 1717 AD, the 56rd year of Kangxi.

At the beginning of the new year, on the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Bugui died.

Considering that he had given birth to three princesses, Kangxi issued a decree: "There are golden coffins for nobles in the garden. Can the two golden coffins be buried together? Yizuo. Fasting is not allowed for this disease. The mother of the three princesses will go to the funeral according to her concubine. For the first sacrifice, the grand sacrifice, and foreign guests coming, feasts and joys will be prepared."

Later, 11 lamas recited scriptures on their scrolls for two days.

After being inspected by the Qintian Supervisor, he was coffined on the [-]th of this month, and the funeral was held on the [-]th of this month. He was sent to the temporary house in Sun Weishan Garden, Dazhangjing, outside Chaoyang Gate.

However, above the court hall, the turmoil became more and more treacherous, and the atmosphere became more condensed.

To this day, there are still people asking for the crown prince.

However, no matter whether it is to recommend the abolished prince Yinfeng or Yinhu.

Kangxi always stayed in the middle school.

He is a person with a firm mind, he has made a decision in his heart long ago, so how could it be changed by external things.

He will never bow his head to his courtiers.

All the affairs in the court are handled by the princes Baylor, and the princes have their own political affairs to deal with.

However, the same sentence, as long as you do it, you can always leave traces.

The fact that Yinhu and others defended Yinzhen also fell into Kangxi's eyes.

Kangxi saw it in his eyes and was not in a hurry to make a move.

He is the best and most experienced hunter, and he pays attention to the sure hit.

He bides his time.

In November, Wang Ji, a scholar, and Chen Jiayou, a censor, went to Shushu to ask Kangxi to establish a reserve.

Kangxi stayed in the middle school.

In November, the Empress Dowager fell ill and was diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician.

In December, the Empress Dowager became more and more ill.

Kangxi is also old now, suffering from illnesses, often dizzy, and he also suffers from leg diseases, his feet are swollen and he cannot walk.

But he still wrapped his feet in a handkerchief, and went to Ningshou Palace to personally serve the decoction.

Yinqi comforted Kangxi: "I was raised by the emperor's grandmother since I was a child. The emperor's holy body is against harmony. I can take care of everything. Don't worry about the emperor's father."

Kangxi refused: "I am still here, what can you do as an agent. I will do what I should do."

Before the queen mother was completely unconscious, she took Kangxi's hand and said: "In my life, I have nothing to ask for at this age. But the matter of the crown prince should be settled early."

At the end of her life, the queen mother was no longer stubborn: "It's fine for Concubine Lide's children...you have to make a decision early... don't let them fight anymore."

The Queen Mother sincerely mourned for Kangxi: "They are all your children, my grandsons. I can't bear to see them like this..."

Kangxi nodded again and again: "Yes, Queen Mother, don't worry, I have my own decision in my heart."

He did not intend to tell the Queen Mother about his intentions.

As long as the word is spoken, it will no longer be a secret.

If the time has not come, we cannot afford to fall by the wayside.

He could only watch with cruel eyes, seeing that the Empress Dowager was still worried about this matter before she died.

The queen mother fell into a coma very quickly, and when she was in a coma, she murmured people's names in her mouth.

"Erji."

"Abu."

"Emperor Niang..."

"Xuan Ye...Xuan Ye."

"Yinqi...Yinqi..."

"Ruyi, are you here to pick up the imperial grandmother? Wait for me, wait for me. I'll tell your imperial father."

"Xuan Ye, Xuan Ye!"

Kangxi knelt by the side of the bed, held the Empress Dowager's hand, and replied, "Emperor Mother, I am here."

When the queen mother heard this, she opened her eyes to look at him, she was full of tears, but she couldn't say a word, she could only look at him for a long time.

The queen mother's hand fell.

On the evening of the sixth day of December, the Empress Dowager died.

The Kangxi was distraught and wept bitterly.

Since the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, the Ministry of Rites has been preparing all the etiquette expenses for the funeral.

After the Queen Mother passed away, the Ministry of Rites presented the prepared affairs and submitted them to Kangxi for approval.

Kangxi was the empress dowager, and her posthumous title was Empress Xiaohuizhang. She was buried in the east of Xiaoling Mausoleum, which was called Xiaodong Mausoleum and Taimiao.

Since the beginning of the funeral, Kangxi appointed his twelfth son, Yinchen, to act as the chief manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, responsible for scheduling all things for the Empress Dowager's funeral.
