Chapter 6 Chapter Five: The Mystery of the Night Watchman in the Tent

At the end of the last lecture, I came to the conclusion that Qin Keqing's background was not necessarily humble, but even higher than that of the Jia family.It is higher than Jia’s mansion, think about it, Jia’s mansion is already a nobleman of the state, higher than Jia’s mansion, it means that she may be a member of the royal family, so we should go to the royal family of the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties Go inside and look for her traces to see if there is a life prototype of the character Qin Keqing. These three dynasties have gone through a long time, and there are many members of the royal family, especially the Kangxi Dynasty.Kangxi's fecundity is particularly strong. He gave birth to thirty-five princes and twenty princesses in his life. His children alone are so many; Yongzheng's reproductive ability is also relatively strong; Also quite a lot.So if we want to search, to be honest, if we talk about them one by one, it would be too time-consuming, and the method is also very stupid, so what should we do?At this time, it suddenly occurred to me that we might start from a famous historical event in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, and then follow that down to see if there are any clues.

In the Qing Dynasty, they won the world immediately, that is, the soldiers of the Eight Banners rode horses and carried weapons, and they entered Shanhaiguan in this way, entered the Central Plains, and unified China.Therefore, the first few emperors of the Qing Dynasty paid special attention to maintaining such a tradition. Since they won the world immediately, they should rule the world immediately.Of course, after the unification of China and the basic pacification, we must focus on the implementation of civil rule, but military rule and military preparations must not be slack.Especially in the Kangxi Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi attached great importance to maintaining the military strength of the Manchurian Eight Banners. He felt that the Manchu tradition of riding and shooting should not be lost. He personally took the lead and led princes, princes, ministers, and mighty teams to hunt every year. military training.Because a hunt is also equivalent to a military operation, in this process, it is especially able to exercise everyone's riding and shooting ability.

At that time, autumn was the key season for hunting every year, so there was a saying called "Mulan Autumn".Mulan is a place name, a paddock called Mulan paddock, where people let the vegetation grow naturally, and there are many wild animals moving freely in it.Every autumn, the emperor would lead a mighty team to hunt there.The Chengde Mountain Resort, which we are all familiar with, was not only the place where the emperor spent the summer, but also a place where he retreated before and after autumn.Now there is another county in the north of Hebei Province called Weichang County. This name is the trace left by history.Of course, the administrative divisions at that time were different from those of the present. If we look at the current administrative divisions, the places Kangxi went to in the autumn of that year not only included the Weichang County area north of Chengde, Hebei, but also went further, reaching the current Inner Mongolia area. , will also reach the area now belonging to Liaoning.According to research by some researchers, Huanghai Tiewangshan mentioned in the book, Huanghai is actually Liaohai, which is located in the Tieling area of ​​Liaoning today, and Tiewangshan is a code evolved from Tieling.In short, Kangxi attached great importance to hunting activities, and would go hunting in that area every autumn.Later, because he paid more attention to hunting, Kangxi proposed to go hunting twice a year, sometimes in spring.I can't go far away for a while, so I hunt near the capital, such as Nanhaizi, that is, some wetlands with puddles in Nanyuan, and sometimes even carry out some small hunting activities in Jingshan behind the Forbidden City.In Kangxi's later years, when he was sixty-six years old, he made his own statistics. He said that with shotgun bows and arrows, he had captured 135 tigers, 35 bears, 25 leopards, 10 lynx cats, and 10 elk. Four, ninety-six wolves, one hundred and thirty-two wild boars, hundreds of ordinary deer, and countless hares and the like. It can be seen that his martial arts are not trivial.He also hopes that his princes and grandsons can inherit this ability, and he took them to hunt because he intends to train them in this aspect.

In the process of Mulan's autumn, because sometimes she ran to a relatively distant place, in the past era, it was impossible to reach it in one day, of course, she had to camp continuously on the way.You need to live in tents when camping, and you need to live in tents when you arrive at Mulan Paddock. The tent where the emperor lives is called a tent, which is very honorable.According to historical records, when they went hunting at that time, there were at most 15,000 or 6,000 people, a very large team.It was also a big camp when it was stationed. The camp where the emperor and his closest followers lived was called the imperial city. The tent where the emperor lived was in the middle. It should be yellow and made of a color authorized by the emperor. A big tent made of cloth is in the middle; outside are some tents to defend him, surrounding him from all sides, the purpose of surrounding him is not to harm him, but to defend him, in form it forms a circle, This is called Wangcheng, and they form an inner camp, called the inner city; outside the inner camp, there is an outer city, and there are more camps in the outer city.Along the way, they may camp a few times, and after arriving, they will set up camp further. The camp must be more magnificent and the facilities will be more complete.

In this case, Kangxi kept hunting.In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, you think, the forty-seventh year of Kangxi means that Kangxi has been on the throne for forty-seven years. Kangxi is a young emperor who ascended the throne at the age of seven or eight. He was already in his fifties in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi up.However, Kangxi is in good health. As mentioned above, his hunting ability is also very strong, and his martial arts are very good.In that year, he took the crown prince, prince, and other entourage to perform the Mulan Autumn Festival.After arriving, of course he lived in the tent in the middle, which is the tent hall, but unexpectedly, the night police incident happened next.Night is night, midnight, and late night, and the police is a crisis situation, when a dangerous situation arises.What's going on?It was Kangxi who discovered that at night, someone was secretly watching his actions outside the tent.Do you think it's worth it?is not it?

The incident of the night police in the tent in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi annoyed Kangxi greatly, and directly caused the turmoil in the Kangxi Dynasty.So, who is it that is so bold to spy on Emperor Kangxi's actions?For what purpose did he dare to do this? To clarify this matter, we have to go back and start from the beginning. When Kangxi came to the throne, he was just a young emperor. At that time, he mainly relied on his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, for political guidance and how to govern him.During this process, in the fourteenth year of Kangxi—at that time, he had already completed his marriage, had a child, and gained some experience as a ruler and emperor—he was in Xiaozhuang Taihuang. Under the guidance of the queen mother, a very important decision was made, which was to choose one of the sons to be the crown prince, and publicly announced to the government and the public that the Qing Dynasty had an official successor to the throne, and this successor was the crown prince.

The situation of the Qing emperors before Kangxi was as follows: Although Nurhachi and Huang Taiji had proclaimed themselves emperors, they had not yet entered the pass and had not yet become emperors of a unified China; The emperor is the emperor who entered the pass, the Shunzhi Emperor that everyone is familiar with.Under the circumstances at that time, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang had a consideration. She was a very wise woman and a great politician. She considered that from the situation of the previous generations of Qing emperors, Huang Taiji and his empress did not give birth. A son means that there is no legitimate son; in the Shunzhi dynasty, the queen did not have a son, and Kangxi himself was not born to the queen, he was also a concubine, not a direct son.At that time, after the Manchus entered the customs, they had accepted the influence of the patriarchal clan system of the Han nationality more deeply, that is, they believed that there was a big difference between the descendant and the concubine, and this was reflected in it.Do you remember?For example, Tanchun and Jia Huan had countless troubles because they were not born by Mrs. Wang, and they were not born by concubine but by concubine.Especially Tanchun, such a woman who is "smart and self-sufficient", such a beautiful woman, such a capable woman, but she is deeply painful because she is not a descendant.

In the Kangxi Dynasty, there was a situation, that is, the empress of Kangxi began to give birth to a son. Kangxi's main palace queen, Hesheli, gave birth to a boy in her first birth. Although she died shortly after birth, she was pregnant again. The second child, the second child was a boy, and was born immediately, and was raised after birth. This became a major event for the ruling class of the Qing Dynasty.Because I have read it for you just now, Huang Taiji, his queen had no sons, no sons from his concubine; It's another matter to have a very good relationship with his aunt and this empress; in the Kangxi Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty finally had its own emperor's son.The Manchus conquered the Central Plains and wanted to conquer all the Chinese. The majority of the Chinese were Han, and the cultural tradition of the Han paid the most attention to distinguishing the concubine from the concubine. Therefore, in order to win over and frighten all Chinese, especially the entire Han nationality, this It's time to announce that we Manchus also respect the order of distinguishing the sons and sons. Now that our emperor has a son, we will declare him as the prince, so that the legitimacy of the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty will be further consolidated in people's hearts .It has this meaning, so it is not simply to establish a prince, it has very important political significance in it.

Under the guidance of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Kangxi decided to make the child born to his empress the crown prince.Although the prince is the second child, since the eldest child died, he is also the eldest child, so he named him Yinfeng.How old was the crown prince when he became the prince?Not yet two years old, one and a half years old.But at that time, Emperor Kangxi announced to the world and held a grand ceremony to announce this matter.In this ceremony, a child who is more than one year old and less than two years old has no way to complete the items in the various ceremonies, so he is held by his nurse to complete the links in the various ceremonies.This is a major event in the Qing Dynasty.

After the crown prince was established, Kangxi attached great importance to him.Kangxi loves children and is a loving father. To put it simply, he loves all his princes; he also loves all his daughters. He is such a man with boundless fatherly love, and there are many examples to prove it at this point.Of course he loves the prince even more, to what extent does he love it?The treatment of the prince is not only the same as him. For example, the emperor should use yellow, a special yellow color, and he will let the prince wear the clothes and sedan chairs, which are exactly the same color as him; Later, he also built a very beautiful palace for the prince, which is Yuqing Palace.According to the historical records of the Qing Dynasty, some antiques and luxurious things displayed in the prince's Yuqing Palace even surpassed those owned by Kangxi himself.Then there was one incident, which was very funny and made Kangxi regret it.He felt that the prince was the one he watched growing up, so cute, and he was the heir to the throne in the future, his successor, so he felt that if the prince wanted to use something, he should ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs - the Ministry of Internal Affairs supplies all kinds of supplies for the royal family. such an institution.He said that the prince's nanny's husband, let his nanny be the head of the House of Internal Affairs, why?Because it is convenient for the prince to ask for things.As soon as he acted like a baby, he told his nanny, and this thing would come in a while, so as not to have to report it layer by layer.Of course Kangxi later regretted this, but he did it in the first place.In life, he loves Yinfeng meticulously. From other aspects, it is to train him: one is to train him in the aspect of literature. First, let him study Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese.The crown prince was also very competitive, and in the end Manchu, Mongolian, and Chinese were all very good.Because the most difficult thing for him is Chinese, right?During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Manchu was used to speak to each other in the court, so first of all, there was no need to teach Manchu as a language, and Manchu is a pinyin script. After you understand Manchu, it will be easier for you to learn Manchu.The Manchu language was created by borrowing from the Mongolian language, and the Mongolian language is naturally easy to master when the Manchu literature is well developed.But Chinese needs to be learned from the beginning. Chinese is not their mother tongue, so it is very difficult.Kangxi recruited well-educated scholars, great Confucians, and famous teachers from the Han nationality in China at that time to serve the prince every day and teach him meticulously.Yinfeng worked very hard and studied very well. I will give examples later, and his grades are indeed very good.

As I said at the beginning, Kangxi paid special attention to maintaining the Manchu riding and archery tradition, and he was no exception in the training of Yinfeng. He taught him to hunt since he was a child.The examples I am citing now are not from unofficial history, but from official history.Of course, sometimes you cannot fully believe these official historical records, because the history is written by the victors, and the archives are also controlled by the victors. These people may have some subjective things added when writing history and organizing archives, but it Basically believable, because it basically has to be stated based on facts.According to records, Kangxi took Yinreng to hunt. At that time, Yinreng was only five years old, and he went to the Mulan paddock at the age of five. It was too far away and he might not be able to go, so where should he fight?Going to Haizi in Nanyuan also felt that it was far away, so it was in Jingshan, Jingshan behind the Forbidden City.It turns out that Jingshan is not like it is now. It used to be a lot of barren places, so there are also some wild animals.According to historical records, the prince was hunting with his imperial father. When he was five years old, he shot five arrows in a row and hit five wild animals, one deer and four rabbits.Someone below is laughing, saying is this possible?Could it be that when he was hunting, someone held the animal in front of his eyes and asked him to shoot.To be honest, a five-year-old child may not be able to hit some animals even if you bring them to his eyes and let him shoot them.But the prince shot all five arrows without missing a beat, so he shot a deer and four rabbits.In this way, the prince grew up vigorously under the careful training of the emperor's father. Prince Yinreng grew up under the careful training of his father, Emperor Kangxi. The story of a father who is kind and filial to his son and enjoys family relationships is unfolding in the palace with red walls and yellow tiles. It seems that the prince will finally inherit his father's business and become a great treasure. thing.Kangxi once asked the prince to act as an agent of government affairs in the Forbidden City when he personally led the army to suppress the rebellion. He once praised the prince in this way, saying that the prince "handles government affairs as solidly as Mount Tai".However, things are far from as simple as we imagined.As time went by, cracks began to appear between Kangxi and his son.Then, one is the father who is boundless in love and heroic, and the other is the high-spirited and versatile prince. Why are there conflicts between the two?Can Prince Yinreng inherit the throne as he wishes?That's what I'm going to talk about next. At the beginning, no one thought that between Kangxi and the crown prince, there would gradually be a conflict between the imperial power and the crown prince.This contradiction is actually very easy to explain, from the perspective of human nature.Think about it, when a prince is twelve years old, he thinks that I will be the emperor in the future, he is very happy; at the age of twenty-two, he thinks that I can already be the emperor, but my father is still healthy, so I have to take good care of him. Wait; I am thirty-two years old, my father is still healthy, when will I be emperor?is not it?From the perspective of human nature, the crown prince began to have this kind of psychology, so many things happened one after another. At the beginning, this kind of thing had nothing to do with Kangxi himself, for example, the crown prince's temper became very irritable.His teachers are all great Confucians, all of whom are well-educated, and of course they are also very old—when he taught him, he was already in his forties or fifties; when he grew up, they were all in their seventies and eighties, very tall. Their age—he often insults them, and when he gets angry, he doesn't care how old they are or how educated those people are, and he insults the teacher.Of course, no matter what, some people reported it to Kangxi, and Kangxi thought what happened to my son?It shouldn't be insulting to the teacher.Then the crown prince did something even more egregious, that is, whipping powerful ministers, high-ranking ministers, who held great power in the court, and Kangxi treated them kindly; Kangxi sometimes got angry and criticized, but rarely said anything Take off their pants and spank them, humiliate or whip these ministers in public.What Kangxi did not do, the crown prince did. As soon as he sent those ministers down, he just came here. Of course, the subordinates are how you order him, because you are the future emperor!What else is there to say, right?You have to obey orders.Kangxi began to feel unhappy, thinking how could Yinreng do this?But Kangxi forbears it, because this is his own son, he is the son of the crown prince, and the prince will indeed be the emperor in the future, so it is understandable that the emperor is a bit majestic.But later, gradually, his dissatisfaction with the prince did not appear in these things. Once, when Kangxi went to war, he felt unwell and sick. Of course, not only the prince, but other princes—there were more and more sons of Kangxi at that time, they all went to greet him.As a result, he found that the prince didn't look worried, sad, or anxious about his illness, but instead looked happy.Can you understand it from a human point of view?Someone is nodding, isn't it?Of course, this matter is more complicated. If you read Qing history carefully, you will find that this kind of record has an untrue side.Because everyone knows that Kangxi's later regime was not handed over to Yinreng, which is very clear. The later emperor was Yongzheng, a younger brother of Yinreng, the fourth elder brother.After the fourth elder brother came to power, he would organize and modify various files.Now if we do historical research carefully, we will find that there are also historians and historical records in North Korea, such as the "Records of the Li Dynasty".North Korea has been the Lee Dynasty for a long time. The records in "Li Dynasty Records" are not like this, but it is also terrible. "Records of the Li Dynasty" said that when the prince went, the prince did not behave particularly badly towards Kangxi, but those who followed the prince could not restrain their inner joy.They thought to themselves, look, the old man is almost finished, and the master we are following is about to be promoted to Long Live, and they all celebrate with their foreheads and hands. It is these people who caused a lot of trouble and were reported to Kangxi.But no matter what, Kangxi became alert.Oh, for a long time, I cultivated it for a long time, and finally became a threat to me, right?Want to grab the class and seize power?Kangxi began to be vigilant, but he endured it.Because it has been cultivated for so many years, and the cultivation of more than 30 years cannot be wasted!And it is true that the prince has some advantages!So Kangxi still adopted a forbearing attitude.But in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, when the night police incident in the tent I am going to talk about, Kangxi couldn't bear it anymore. There are several triggers for this matter, the first fuse: At that time, Kangxi led a mighty team to Mulan Qiuxi, and set up camp on the way; he brought many princes there, the eighteenth prince at that time——his son at that time It’s already a lot—Eighteen elder brother is seven or eight years old, he likes it very much—every son of Kangxi likes it—this eighteenth elder brother got mumps on the way. Let me add a sentence here. In my narration, I sometimes referred to Kangxi’s son as a prince. Some listeners asked me, should the emperor’s son be called a prince?This opinion is very good, it is more accurate to say that it is the prince.But some people think that the prince is the prince's son, which is wrong.In the Qing Dynasty, the official title of the prince's son was Shizi, not prince. The word prince was matched with the king. Since the beginning of the 20th century, when we translate foreign literary works, we often refer to the person who is equivalent to the emperor as the king, and the son of the king as the prince, such as Shakespeare's "Hamlet". .The prince refers to the son of the king, that is, the son of the emperor, who could have inherited the throne.In fact, in the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi himself was also good, and the government and the public generally called Kangxi's son the elder brother, the prince was the second elder brother, and Yongzheng, who succeeded Kangxi as the emperor, was the fourth elder brother.Well, now we are talking about the eighteenth elder brother. In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, halfway through Mulan Qiuxi, the eighteenth elder brother fell ill. The 18th elder brother had a high fever and should have mumps. According to the records in the Qing Dynasty history books, we can make this judgment today.Of course, there was no such word as mumps at that time, but we can make a judgment based on his symptoms and current clinical medicine. It is nothing more than mumps, not a serious disease.But in the Qing Dynasty, there was no good way to treat this disease.This 18th elder brother has a high fever, Kangxi is very anxious, Kangxi loves him, wishing to hold him in his arms 24 hours a day, the imperial doctor always holds him in his arms when he sees a doctor.He especially loves the eighteenth elder brother, and he asked the prince to rush from Beijing to Yingpan. At this time, according to historical records, it was indeed the prince who was very indifferent to the eighteenth elder brother and his own brother's illness. This is in "Li There is no contrary record in "Records of North Korea", which may be the fact.To be honest, as the prince, he feels that every brother is a potential threat, doesn't he?Every brother may come to take my position as the prince, and they all want to inherit the imperial power in the end.Seeing that his father likes elder brother Eighteen so much, he is of course not happy. What do you mean, right?You put my arms around me, you put your arms around elder brother eighteen, what's the matter, can't you let him lie on the bed and rest by himself?So he felt uncomfortable when he saw it, and he was very cold on the outside.When Kangxi saw him like this, he was heartbroken. He didn't say anything at the time, but later Kangxi said that he had no feelings for his own brother at all.In feudal society, the so-called "filial piety" was the most important. "Filial piety" refers to treating parents, and "brother" refers to treating brothers. People at that time believed that these two attitudes were the most fundamental standpoint of being a human being, so you have no sense of filial piety. Xin, how can a person like you inherit the imperial career?But Kangxi also tolerated it at that time, but at that time he was already ready to trigger fire at any time. As a result, something that Kangxi absolutely could not tolerate any more happened immediately, that is, the night police in the tent. It may be that Kangxi himself had some feelings first, that something was wrong at night, and then Kangxi got a secret report, saying, father, do you know that there is such a situation at night?Someone is peeking in from outside your tent.The person peeking at you is none other than the prince!At this time, Kangxi suddenly felt that the conflict between him and the crown prince had reached its peak. Is this okay?Do you still need to think about it?Isn't that easy?Just to see how I am, how my body is, if I think I have lived too long, and when I will die!So furious.This is the incident of the tent night police. Then, one day, Kangxi was furious in public and informed all the people to gather together, first to tie up the prince, not with ropes, but with iron chains, and then he got angry and tied up the other prince's brothers, those princes. The buddies were all tied up in front of the courtiers - there was a situation at that time that he didn't think about in advance, there were missionaries on the scene, and he didn't have time to let the foreign missionaries avoid it, so this scene at that time was not recorded in the Qing Dynasty's own historical records. In complete words, several missionaries later wrote their memoirs—he was furious at the time, and in front of the courtiers, he recounted the crimes of the prince and said that you are too shameful.He was very sad, how sad is it? "Servants".He was already in his fifties, and he was a very old man in his fifties at that time. He fell to the ground in pain, and the scene was very unbearable.A heroic emperor, usually a very dignified person, suddenly lost his composure.There is such a passage in the words he denounced the prince, this passage is very important, he said, "There are more strange people, Yi every night approaching the cracks in Putrajaya and peeping in?? I don't know if I will be poisoned today and killed tomorrow. He is vigilant and restless day and night, how can a person like this be given to his ancestors!" What is the most crucial sentence in it?It means "approaching the Putrajaya crack and peeping inward". "Yi" is this him, that is, Yinfeng, the crown prince.It is even more strange that he "approaches the Putrajaya crack and peeps in" every night. Everyone knows that Chinese characters used to have no punctuation marks. What do you need to do to read an article?Sentences are required.Can you punctuate sentences?Sentence punctuation is a skill, like this sentence, "approach Putrajaya crack every night and peep inside", there are two ways to punctuate the sentence: one is "approach Putrajaya, peep inside the crack", that is, the prince walked to Kangxi's residence The outside of the tent, with "cracks peering in".Crack The "crack" is a verb, so you must take out a dagger, right?How else would you draw a seam?This is terrifying, he cut the tent open, and then opened it to look inside, maybe thinking at the same time, the old man is not dead yet, how terrifying is this!This is a way of punctuating sentences.There is another way of punctuating a sentence, which is "approaching the crack in Putrajaya, peeping in", which is much softer.Everyone knows that the tent where the emperor lived was also made of cloth, and if it is a round tent, it is made up of many cloth panels. Do you understand this?Let's draw the curtains, and the two curtains are finally covering each other, right?Then this other sentence is called "approaching the Putrajaya crack". There is a crack in Putrajaya itself, and he can push it open with two hands. This "crack" is a noun, understand?He took it apart and looked inside, thinking, oh, it’s still active there, when will I be emperor?That's a little softer, a little softer.Now I don't know how Kangxi was so angry at that time, how did he end this sentence?Probably the first one I mentioned just now.You think that's okay, don't you?So he said that he was very worried. He said, "I don't know if I will be poisoned today, but will be killed tomorrow."That is to say, since you can cut open the tent with a dagger to see me, then you may toast me a glass of wine one day, make me a cup of tea, and let me drink it, then there may be poison in it, right?Can I still sleep soundly?Not only can I not sleep well, but I can’t even eat and drink well, right?So Kangxi was so angry that he said that it was impossible at all. Such a person could not pass on his ancestor's family business to him, so he announced that Yinfeng would be abolished.This is the famous night police incident in the tent in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, and the prince was abolished. After the prince was abolished, many stories appeared again.I see that someone below is frowning, maybe they are willing to listen, but why are they frowning?Maybe it means, hey, aren't you talking about Qin Keqing?is not it?Aren't you off topic by a thousand miles?Don't worry, if you want to figure out Qin Keqing's real life prototype, you still have to listen to me talk about it paragraph by paragraph. Village", which is the location of Qin Keqing's prototype I mentioned, don't worry.And I think you should be very happy to hear this, because not only to explore the prototype of Qin Keqing, but also to understand the whole background of Cao Xueqin writing this book, the background of his family, the rise and fall of his family , What is the relationship with the political turmoil in the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties? This is what we need to understand.In addition, we also need to understand what kind of humanistic environment Cao Xueqin was in when he wrote, and what kind of era background he was in.So I think, although our current exploration activities may feel far away from the point we want to reach, but I beg you to follow me to explore all the way, I guarantee you will still be very interesting to listen to. I just said that the crown prince was deposed. If he was deposed, it would be over. The story should be over.not end yet.Don't wait any longer, Kangxi will start to regret it the next day.Because when the prince was abolished, think about how old the prince was. The prince was already thirty-four or five years old at that time.He raised him from one and a half years old, do you think it's easy?Yes or no?He began to feel uneasy, and announced that he would not go to the hunting grounds, and returned to the city, to the Forbidden City.On the way back, he felt a strange wind blowing in front of his sedan chair. There was a chair inside his sedan chair, and that was the throne where he was sitting. He felt a strange wind hovering in front of the throne.He felt that this was a "celestial warning", that is, God was warning me not to do this, so he felt uneasy.After returning to the Forbidden City, he dreamed at night, who did he dream of?The two women he dreamed of were both women who had played a very important role in his life, and who were the two women he would never forget?One is the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, his grandmother arranged for the prince to be the crown prince, and it was his grandmother who made the decision for him. He dreamed of his grandmother.He found his grandmother sitting far away from him, looking displeased and unhappy.Grandma has always been very kind to him, always greeted him with a smile, but suddenly she was unhappy in her dream.Then he dreamed of his queen.Kangxi and his queen Hesheli, who is Yinreng's mother, have a very deep relationship. It is by no means false. There are many records, so I won't list them here.And the queen died after giving birth to Yinfeng.Because her first son died shortly after she was raised, she was very nervous when she was pregnant with the second one.In addition, at that time, the Qing Dynasty was facing the rebellion of the San Francisco, that is, when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, three generals of the Han nationality expressed their surrender to the Qing Dynasty and helped the Qing Dynasty to occupy the unoccupied land. To be honest, they all started rebelling later.Specifically, in the twelfth year of Kangxi, that is, in 1673, Wu Sangui, Shang Zhixin, Geng Jingzhong and others who were named vassal kings after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty launched a joint rebellion because they were dissatisfied with Emperor Kangxi's decision to withdraw the vassal. San Francisco Rebellion".It took Kangxi eight years to quell the rebellion and maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty by taking measures such as consolidating the rear and political differentiation.Empress Hesheli gave birth to Yinfeng, and it was at this critical period that when she was in labor, she felt that her mission was very important.If she gave birth to a son, and this son can be raised, it means that the regime of the Qing Dynasty can continue with more power, so she is very nervous.It is very tragic that after she gave birth to Yinfeng, the child lived, but she died, so Kangxi was very sad and missed her often.Unexpectedly, she appeared in a dream that night. What is the performance of her appearance?Very unhappy, of course she should be even more unhappy, because Yinfeng is a son she gave birth to at the cost of her whole life, isn't it?So Kangxi felt, did I act too recklessly in a fit of anger? At this time, a new situation appeared, which was very dramatic.That is, another elder brother came to tell him, saying, do you know why the second elder brother seems to be crazy, insulting the teacher, whipping the ministers, and often going crazy?He was haunted.Nightmare, you understand?Remember the twenty-fifth chapter, "Nightmare Magic Sister Meets Five Ghosts", who haunted Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu?Aunt Zhao was haunted by her, and Aunt Zhao did not have the ability to do so through Ma Daopo.In the past, the method of nightmare people was to cut some people out of paper, or wood, or cloth, and inject needles into their heart sockets, eye sockets, or vital parts of the human body. This is called nightmare.Here, if you do this on the paper figurine, wooden figurine, or cloth figurine that represents this person, the living person will react, for example, it will become crazy or abnormal.After Kangxi got this report, he felt mixed feelings.What are you worried about?After a long time, I appointed a second child as the crown prince, and this kind of situation actually formed, and his brother came to haunt him, which is really unexpected!I have so many sons, this is worth it!Where is hi?It can be seen that my second child has been wronged, he has been raped!At that time, after Yinreng was escorted back to the Forbidden City, he was not allowed to go back to the Yuqing Palace where he lived. He stayed in Shangsi Courtyard, which is the place where horses were raised in the palace. A tent was set up and he was kept in the palace. Circled there.Kangxi said, then I have to talk to him, so he called Yinfeng to talk.Suddenly, I found that Yinfeng's mind began to clear up, because at this time Kangxi had already sent someone to investigate the root cause of Yan Yin, who was the root cause?where is it?It is the boss, that is, Kangxi's eldest son is called Yinyi.Someone asked, shouldn't the boss be named a prince?Why didn't Kangxi seal him?Just because the boss is not a descendant, but a concubine, do you understand what that means?The eldest son was not born to the queen, and the second son Yinfeng was born to the queen, do you understand?The boss is not convinced, of course he is not convinced-I am the boss? !So later Kangxi searched the boss's house, and dug out some puppets in the garden, which were the puppets of the Nightmare, and the Mongolian Lama helped him get the things of the Nightmare. This is conclusive evidence.Therefore, Kangxi was furious, saying that the boss had given the second child to the trouble for a long time, and immediately detained the boss.The boss has been imprisoned for the rest of his life, and this boss is also very miserable.After the fact that the boss suppressed the second child was confirmed, Kangxi talked to the second child again, and felt that the second child had become clear and normal, and Kangxi said, doesn't this prove that he has been haunted?As soon as the nightmare is removed, wouldn't he really be fine?Kangxi began to think, I am afraid that the second child was wronged, and it was so easy to make him the prince, and I can't abolish him casually.Later, just half a year later, in the second year, the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, Kangxi announced the restoration of Yinfeng as the prince.Isn't it dramatic?If it was just abolished, the story would not be so tortuous. He still stood up two times, and became the prince again for the second time, and this Yinfeng became the prince again. Such changes and situations in the palace not only affect the court itself, the royal family itself, but also the entire government and the public, especially the bureaucratic group, officials at all levels, including the Cao family.So please listen to my next lecture, I will tell you how the struggle for the throne of the ruling group at that time was reflected in the text; and this is even more crucial for us to explore Qin Keqing's real life prototype.
