The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 119: Funeral Arrangements
"I have carefully considered his actions. He is a gentleman, not a bloodthirsty person. He will not watch the throne fall to someone else and remain indifferent, waiting to kill someone to reverse the situation. So he will definitely react before the crown prince is confirmed."

'At that time, I was closely watching everyone in the court, especially the princes. Unfortunately, after everyone paid homage to the crown prince, no one came out to report, which caused trouble. At that time, I suddenly realized that perhaps that person had already made a move, but I didn't realize that he was smarter than others. He fought without fighting. Only because he didn't fight, no one in the world could fight with him! '

'That night, all the princes were desperate and no longer hid. That person could shoot a three-stone bow and had a high status, so he would definitely appear at the palace gate, but he did not. If that person or the master behind him was defeated, he would definitely fight to the death, but there was no reaction.'

'I suddenly realized something, and in an instant I thought of the answer. Through the final answer, I re-examined everything, and all my doubts were solved. Everything was smooth, and I figured out everything. Because he won the final victory, he naturally didn't need to make a move again, and perhaps, he would never make a move again! '

"So, the prince who is hiding the most must be you. As for the person who can shoot a three-stone bow, I don't know if it's you or the strong man you have gathered, but it doesn't matter anymore. You will definitely deal with it properly."

"For a person in a high position, the most feared thing is confusion, and the most joyful thing is understanding."

"Hahaha"

"In the past few months, I have watched you serve me carefully, with your head bowed, your eyes lowered, and your eyes respectful and obedient. I am extremely proud of you. No matter how smart, wise, clever and cunning you are, you still have to bow your head in front of me. I am the one who has an overall view, overlooking the world, and controlling everything!"

"I have found you and handed over the kingdom to you. My last two wishes have been fulfilled. I have no regrets and can leave now!"

'The dragon can be seen from the head but not the tail. Those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens, while those who are good at defending hide under the nine earths!'

"Your mind, courage, wisdom and vision are far superior to those of other princes. If you want to protect them, they will live in peace. If you want to get rid of them, they will die. You are no longer on the same level as them. They are no longer your enemies. I hope you can treat them well!"

"This rosary was a dowry from our great ancestor, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. She wore it all her life and passed it to me before she passed away. I have also recited it all my life, and now I pass it on to you!"

'Yin.'

"I have entrusted this vast country and millions of people to you. I hope you can always remember and treat the people well!"

When Li Yan looked up again after reading it, his face was already in tears. He turned his head to look at the skinny old man lying on the couch, who had already stopped breathing, with a calm expression and peaceful demeanor, as if he was asleep!
Li Yan silently picked up the rosary, put it on his wrist, stood up silently, stood in front of the old man's body, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully and willingly.

Li Yan was once again deeply impressed by the wisdom and vision of the greatest emperor of all time!

'Boom boom. Boom.'

The heavy funeral bell suddenly rang in the middle of the night, spreading across the entire Beijing city. Countless people in Beijing were awakened by the bell while they were sleeping, and some young people were at a loss.

The old and experienced man was stunned for a moment, then he jumped off the bed, knelt on the ground, and burst into tears!

After the explanation, everyone understood that Kangxi, who had been in power for 61 years, had passed away that night. All the people loved this tolerant and generous old man. It was because of Kangxi's reign that the people enjoyed many years of peace and tranquility.

Although they were Manchus, they allowed countless people across the world to enjoy peace and prosperity.

Once this pillar of support collapsed, the people lost their support and were filled with worries about the future. Coupled with their reluctance to part with Kangxi, countless families began mourning overnight. All families shared the same grief, and the whole world was in mourning!

The Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang, who was sleeping in a room in the clan residence, was awakened by the bell. He was drowsy and covered himself with the quilt impatiently.

He muttered to himself, "Who is this? Ringing the bell in the middle of the night. How can I sleep?"

No one manages it either.
After a moment, he suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened, his face was filled with fear, he suddenly threw off the quilt, and regardless of the cold late autumn night, rushed out of the house like crazy, hurriedly came to the yard, and looked up at the dark sky.

'Boom boom. Boom.'

The sound of the bells in the air became clearer.

"Emperor Father"

Yinxiang let out a shrill scream, and kneeled in the yard in a single layer of clothing and bare feet, crying heart-wrenchingly and sobbing uncontrollably.

The same scene was being played out in the yard where the eldest, second, fourth, eighth and fourteenth brothers were. They all held their heads in pain and cried like rain.

Whether they were crying for the departure of Kangxi or being sad about their own fate, they were all filled with great sorrow and cried their hearts out!

On the second day, in the Shangshufang, the first important thing for the ministers was to discuss Kangxi's temple name and posthumous title. After fierce debate among the knowledgeable and respected old ministers, the temple name was Shengzu, and the posthumous title was decided to be Hetian Hongyun Wenwu Ruizhe Jingjian Kuanyu Xiaojing Chengxin Gongde Dachengren Emperor, or Shengzu Ren Emperor for short!

The second issue is the burial. Kangxi was a long-lived emperor, so his mausoleum was built early in the Eastern Qing Tombs in Zunhua County. The Eastern Qing Tombs include the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Shunzhi, the Zhaoxi Mausoleum of Empress Xiaozhuang, and the Jingling Mausoleum of Emperor Kangxi.

There's nothing much to say about this, just follow the steps.

The third thing was that according to common practice, Yin issued an edict to posthumously confer the title of Empress Xiaoxianren on his mother, Consort Wenxi, Nianhulu. There was nothing to argue about this.

A mother's status is determined by her son, which has been a tradition since ancient times. Not doing so would be unfilial. All the ministers praised her highly!
Noble Consort Wenxi was the same mother and sister of Empress Xiaozhaoren, so she was ranked before Empress Xiaoyiren and was buried with Kangxi. At this point, Kangxi was buried with Empress Xiaochengren, Empress Xiaozhaoren, Empress Xiaoxianren, Empress Xiaoyiren and Imperial Noble Consort Jingmin.

After the three major events were settled, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Half a day had passed, and Zhang Tingyu knelt down tremblingly again to ask for instructions on the issue of governors from all over the country coming to Beijing to express condolences and strengthening border defense.

Li Yan saw that Zhang Tingyu looked very old. He had been worried all day yesterday and had been tossing and turning all night. As a young man, Li Yan was a little overwhelmed. Seeing several old ministers looking exhausted and struggling with bloodshot eyes, he couldn't bear it.

So he said, "My fellow ministers are old and virtuous. I am here to issue a decree that from now on, all ministers over the age of sixty do not need to kneel when meeting each other, except for court meetings and various grand ceremonies. They only need to bow their hands."
