Chapter 3 The Third Round

Shunzhi left, he went to Wutai Mountain to become a monk, but this news could not be known to people outside the palace, it was publicly announced that Emperor Shunzhi had "passed away", and the emperor's "big funeral" was well organized Seriously. The "Mourning Hall" is located in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.A Dharani Sutra quilt, with Sanskrit scriptures woven with gold thread on the yellow satin surface, was covered in the Emperor's Zi Palace, the Golden Chamber.Benzoin was placed in a gold-plated Xuande furnace in front of the coffin, and the green smoke as thin as gossamer lingered in the hall, announcing that the soul of its owner had ascended beyond the Three Realms.After a decree was passed down, all civil and military officials took off the red tassels that hung on their big hats.The officials of the Ministry of Rites had already drawn up the various etiquette procedures for the new emperor's imperial pole—clothes first, and then issued a will, and held the enthronement ceremony.

At the first moment of Sishi, Emperor Daxing began a small funeral.Outside the Qianqing Palace, there are princes, county kings, Baylor, Beizi, and officials from various ministries standing in a row of black crows.Wu Liangfu, the chief eunuch of the House of Internal Affairs, stood under the tan ridge with a gloomy face, his neck twisted, his upper lip pressed against his lower lip, and a deep line appeared on his smooth chin. People who didn't know it thought he was angry. In fact, he is very proud of himself at this moment.This Wu Liangfu was originally the head squad of Prince Horqin Zhuo Liketu's residence. Since Bor Qijin was selected into the palace, because there was no capable person around him, the prince cleaned him up and sent him to the palace.In terms of status, he was originally a eunuch who was married to the empress, so within a few years, he became the deputy capital eunuch of the Sixth Palace.Bor Qijin was deposed as a concubine, although the emperor saw that he was Oboi's godson and did not make things difficult for him, but it was not as good as before.Today's funeral, before mourning, when the auxiliary ministers held a meeting, Ye Bilong proposed that Wu Liangfu be the master of ceremonies, and asked the Queen Mother for permission.Because of this, he felt that the limelight was about to turn again, and he walked with his face raised and ignored people.

At this moment, he was a little impatient and a little sweet.In the eight years since Bor Qijin entered the cold palace, he has never been as embarrassed as he is today──Wang Jieshu, first-class Bosoni, and Suksaha, these princes and ministers who usually never take their servants seriously , and a group of Baylors and Beizi standing in line under the eaves of the dripping water, they all want to listen to him.What a prestige that is, what an honor that is! At two o'clock, Sony, who is over 60 years old, the Chief Gu Ming and the Assistant Minister, went to the Palace of Compassion to ask for training, and welcomed the crown prince Aixinjueluo Xuanye to the Palace of Qianqing for a small funeral ceremony.The new Empress Dowager Tong Gui was a man of few words and clumsy in eloquence, she couldn't handle it, so she looked at the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and said, "Please be kind to my mother." When the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang looked up, she saw the old Sonny crying blood Asking for training, I thought of my own life experience: entering the palace at a young age, losing my husband when he was in his prime, how many twists and turns I went through, how many adventures I went through, dealing with Dorgon and Jierhalang, and even caught up with my own Chastity, it was so hard to keep her son's throne, and she only had a few days to live a peaceful life, and then this accident happened again!There was a burst of bitterness in my heart, and tears flowed down: "You are the old minister first, and you have to mourn and obey. The emperor insists on going forever. This is nothing to do. The third elder brother is smart enough. You should protect him well. He will naturally not let you down when he grows up! You pass my words on to Gu Ming and tell them that I will also protect this little grandson of mine. It will be enough for you! Just these words, Aunt Su Ma, you send the crown prince to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Aunt Su Ma pulled eight-year-old Xuan Ye from the back of the pavilion.He seemed a little unnatural, and greeted the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager respectively, and said, "Empress Mother, I want Eminem to go with me!" "Em" is the nanny.When Sun heard the crown prince calling her, she hurried out, took Xuan Ye's hand and said, "Good brother, be obedient, from now on, you are the emperor, you can't be willful anymore. E-Mu is just a coat Slave, this kind of place is unacceptable." "Aunt Su Ma told me that no matter who you are, you have to listen to the emperor, right? The emperor's words are the imperial edict, right? Now I will issue the imperial edict: 'Auntie, accompany me!'" Xuan Ye said stubbornly.Aunt Su Ma pursed her lips and smiled, looking at the Queen Mother.

Tong Guishi was very relieved, and also somewhat proud. When he looked at his mother, Xiaozhuang was also nodding and smiling.Soni, who was kneeling aside, was also taken aback, looking at this little master who was about to rule the world in amazement.Seeing that the Queen Mother nodded at this time, Sony hurriedly said to Sun: "You still don't thank me!" Seeing this, Mrs. Sun knelt down and kowtowed to Xuan Ye and said, "Slave Mrs. Sun, thank you for your grace!" After speaking, she stood up, and Xuan Ye rushed forward, holding Mrs. Sun with one hand and Su with the other. Aunt Ma La was about to go out, so Sonny got up in a panic, took a step with the agility rarely seen in the elderly, and shouted: "The crown prince is driving, and the servant is waiting for you!"

The royal family and important officials outside the Qianqing Palace were waiting impatiently.Gu Ming's assistant minister Ye Bilong, who was ranked third, quietly moved to the side of the fourth assistant minister, Obai, and winked first.He has this problem. He winks his eyes when he speaks. If he doesn't wink, he can't speak---the tongue circles around his mouth twice before he speaks: "Mr. Ao, I came to the study and wrote this after I came back from a business trip in Chengde." A booklet said that the Zhongtang circle occupied the land of the Eight Great Huangzhuang. You see——" The muscles on Aobai's face were tense, and he pushed back stiffly without looking at Ye Bilong: "Then Please deal with it in a fair and impartial manner!"

Ye Bilong winked and said: "Grand Ao, that's not what I mean. I've dealt with the scriptures, there's no need to be serious with such villains who make provocations. "Sony Zhongtang is old, I don't think this matter will bother him anymore." For such a favor, Aobai had to accept it.He turned his head and glanced at the solemn Ye Bilong, and said with a slight smile, "Thank you for your care, and I will thank you in another day." Ye Bilong nodded knowingly: "This kind of thing must never happen again." As he spoke, his eyes were on Sukesaha, the Minister of Gu Ming who was standing on the steps.Aobai glanced at Suksaha, nodded with a sneer.

"The crown prince is here!" Wu Liangfu shouted loudly, and all the officials immediately stood up with their heads down.Ye Bilong also hurried back to his position. In Xiyong Lane of Qianqing Palace, Aunt Su Ma and Mrs. Sun helped Xuanye off his shoulders.Xuan Ye was curious at heart, and when he saw that there were many people standing in front of the hall in the courtyard, he was anxious to go in.Aunt Su Ma whispered into his ear: "I'm going to be the emperor, don't be childish, walk slowly, the more dignified the more decent!" After finishing speaking, she knelt down with Mrs. Sun and sent Xuanye into the room.

Sonny took the lead, leading Xuan Ye slowly through the straight corridor.The imperial guards Wohe, Xizhu, Zheketu, and Jue Luosaierbi all followed suit with swords hanging from their waists.When he walked past Wu Liangfu, Wo He stared at him, making Wu Liangfu suddenly three points shorter. Wohe is the son of Fei Yanggu, the minister of internal affairs. He served as the imperial guard for eight years in Shunzhi, and he cannot be without him for a day in Shunzhi.When the queen was deposed, Wu Liangfu stole the wishful handle that was bestowed on her without authorization, and was caught by Wohe, who gave her a slap in the face.Wu Liangfu went to Shunzhi to cry, but Shunzhi said: "He has a conscience, and he will not take advantage of others' bad luck to abuse others." Because of this fate, he hated Wohe deeply.

The six monarchs and ministers went up the steps of the palace, Sony stepped forward and knelt down, and the three ministers also knelt on the ground.Soni said loudly: "The crown prince is invited to enter the palace as a ceremony!" Turning around after speaking, he saw Oboi knelt down and was standing side by side with himself, waiting for Xuan Ye to enter the palace, so he turned his head and said in a low voice and solemnly: "Please Ao Gong, love yourself!" Aobai has always been afraid of him.Although Sony is very old now, everyone knows that back then he was as powerful as gold and iron horse, and he didn't even buy the account of Prince Rui Dorgon. touched.So I had to restrain myself a little in front of Sony.Holding his breath, he knelt and took half a step back.At this time, the officials inside and outside Danchi saw them kneeling on the corridor, and they all knelt down too.

Xuanye stepped into the hall, the Xinuang Pavilion was very solemn and solemn with plain curtains and white curtains, surrounded by cigarettes.The golden tablet in the middle is shining, and the inscription "The ancestors of the ancestors, Tianlong, Yunding, Jianjiying, Ruiqin, Wenxian, Wu, Dade, Honggong, Benevolent, pure and filial emperor is the throne of the emperor"──this is Shunzhi.According to Sony's pre-ordered, Xuan Ye bowed three times and kowtowed nine times. A servant had already held a bottle of imperial wine, and Xuan Ye raised a handful of wine to the sky with both hands.Looking at this scene, Soni thought of the kindness of the late emperor when he was there, now people go to the palace empty, like a yellow crane, the fun of life is exhausted, and the old tears can't help crying.The eunuchs present and Prince Baylor mourned at the sight, and wailed in unison—this is considered "Bongan". From this moment on, the crown prince will say goodbye to the "Emperor Daxing" and ascend the throne in front of the coffin.With a wave of Wu Liangfu's fly whisk, there had already been a tribute official from the Honghe Temple coming out to sing the ceremony, and all the officials, herons walking on crane steps, came forward and knelt down to worship.Xuanye sat on the yellow dragon chair to accept worship.From then on, the vast country of China, eighteen provinces, and one hundred trillion sentient beings came under the control of the eight-year-old "Grandpa Kangxi". Kangxi patiently accepted the congratulatory gift, stood up slowly, walked to the front of the four Gu Ming ministers, and helped them up one by one.While supporting him, he asked: "Your name is Sonny?" "Your name is Sukesaha?" "Your name is Ye Bilong?" "Your name is Aobai?"Kangxi said: "The late emperor said before the great trip that you are all Manchurian heroes and loyal ministers. If I listen to you, you will be able to do things easily!" When the four of them heard that the late emperor had such a will, they were very grateful, because it was a happy day before the new emperor's coffin, so they didn't dare to cry, they just sobbed and sighed.Sonny bumped his head to the ground, turned back and said to the three of them: "The late emperor treated us so well, how can we repay you? Today the heir ascends the throne, the four of us should make an oath together: I will follow the late emperor's edict to protect and support the young master. Do your best to assist government affairs with all your loyalty and wisdom. Don't seek personal gain from relatives, don't care about enmity, don't form cliques, don't accept bribes, don't seek unjust wealth, but repay the great kindness of the late emperor with sincerity. If each seeks personal gain for himself and violates this oath, Heaven and earth will be destroyed, short-lived and miserable. Are you willing to make this oath?" Sukesaha and Ye Bilong replied in unison: "Yes!" Although Aobai thought Sony was troublesome, he had no choice but to follow the two in answering: "Yes! " Kangxi didn't quite understand these half-literal words, even what he said just now was taught by Su Ma Lagu Road.But those five or six "no" in a row were clear, and they were excellent words, so he nodded calmly and said, "Okay! You can kneel down now!" The four ministers and the king of politics retreated with all the officials.Emperor Kangxi was relieved, and suddenly he became an innocent and lively child again. He didn't order his followers, so he ran out bouncing around.While running, Kangxi waved his hands and said, "Don't come!" As he spoke, he walked around the glazed screen wall and rushed towards the Amu Sun and Lagu Su Ma who were kneeling on the corridor. Seeing Kangxi running too fast, Sun yelled anxiously: "My old man, be careful not to knock your teeth!" Kangxi, as if he hadn't heard this, giggled while running: "Get up! I'm back !” Said, plunged into Sun's arms.Aunt Su Ma, who was next to him, straightened his back and said, "Now that you are the emperor, you can no longer say 'you' or 'me'. You should say 'Zhen' is back." Kangxi smiled and said: "Sitting for a long time, I really restrained people, take me to see the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager." Mrs. Sun squeezed his face affectionately and said: "The old man is showing his face today. , I'll carry you!" As they spoke, they hugged Kangxi up, and the three of them walked towards the Compassionate Ning Palace talking and laughing.The four young eunuchs drove away, and ran over to follow behind.Just after turning around an alley, someone shouted sharply: "Put it down!" The three of them were startled, and when they looked up, it turned out that Wu Liangfu, the deputy capital eunuch, was standing in front of them.
