Chapter 47 Section 47

The new year has started, but life is sad again.The emperor was in charge, and the Empress Dowager Cixi taught the government. The power was still in hand, but the time for meeting insignificant ministers and workers was saved, which could be spent on the construction of Sanhai and Qingyi Garden.By the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the cash converted into the five million marks borrowed by the German Bank was exhausted, and it was time to try to change the money again. The idea was made a long time ago, it's too early, but the project can't be delayed, so I have to issue the decree early.

He still summoned King Chun and told him face to face: first raise four million yuan for the wedding expenses, half of which will be divided between the household department and the other provinces, and handed over to the wedding ceremony department for backup.At the same time, Li Lianying, the eunuch in charge of the Changchun Palace, was sent to be in charge of all matters. This is May 20th.Not long after receiving the order, King Chun fell ill.The disease was in the liver, and the liver was hurt by depression and anger, all for the purpose of raising four million yuan.Where is the queen, where is the wedding ceremony?I don't know when the big wedding will be!Where the four million silver was used, only the Empress Dowager Cixi and Li Lianying knew.

When the emperor got the news, King Chun couldn't get up anymore. He really wanted to visit him personally, but he didn't dare to say that.Even Weng Tonghe, who was closest to him, did not dare to say it in front of him, because he was afraid that Master Weng would play rashly and cause empress dowager Cixi's displeasure. The Empress Dowager Cixi often sent eunuchs to visit the sick, but when she came back to order, she always avoided the emperor.He could only occasionally hear: "Prince Chun is seriously ill again!" "Prince Chun seems to be better these few days!" Even if he heard it, he didn't dare to ask more questions, he could only cry in secret.

After the Empress Dowager's longevity, the news that King Jin's illness became more and more serious, among the princes and ministers, there is nothing to avoid.First of all, Beizi Yimo said that his illness had reached a worrying level, Qing Wang Yikuang also said the same, and military aircraft leader Li Wang Shiduo, under the urging of Xu Gengshen, specially submitted a report. Can be considered. The memorial went to the emperor first, and after reading it, he felt miserable, but he didn't dare to shed tears. He waited until Yuqing Palace, and finally couldn't help it when he saw Weng Tonghe. "Prince Chun is seriously ill!" He choked up and said, "I'm afraid it's unreliable." After speaking, tears fell like rain, but there was no sound in his throat.

Weng Tonghe also shed tears along with him, but he couldn't comfort the emperor. The only thing that could comfort the emperor at this time was an order to order the emperor to come to Prince Chun's mansion to treat the disease.Weng Tonghe once wanted to unite with the imperial ministers to ask such an edict to come down. Seeing how many people were silent and how few people agreed, he could only sigh secretly as a conclusion. However, he is a master after all, and he will not ignore the guidance on the big joints, so he specially checked out an article and submitted it.This article is called "Pu Yi", written by Cheng Yi, a great Confucian in the Song Dynasty. It discusses how to respect Renzong and his biological father after Song Renzong's nephew, King Pu, inherited the Datong.Remind the emperor that King Chun really passed away, how should he mourn and obey the etiquette and deal with himself.So as not to cause great disturbances during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor refused to read the article, and said with a sad face: "Prince Chun's illness, the empress dowager is anxious, and I am also anxious! What should I do?" "The ancestor of heaven is above, and he will be able to protect him silently." Weng Tong and Li Chunxiao can tell the sky, but they hide their words: "The emperor is so concerned, and he will surely return to heaven." The emperor understood what he meant, nodded and asked, "Have you visited Prince Chun?" "I have been there several times, but I dare not invite Prince Chun."

"Why don't you see him?" After saying this, the emperor realized that he was asking too much.He knew that King Chun had always treated Weng Tonghe like a Han Chinese, respectful and affectionate, and when they met, King Chun must ask the emperor how he expressed his illness.This question would make it difficult for Weng Tonghe to answer. A bad answer would not only hinder his own future, but also cause trouble for the emperor.Therefore, without waiting for Weng Tonghe's answer, he asked again: "Are you still going today?" Weng Tonghe didn't plan to go at first, but after hearing the emperor's question, he naturally changed his mind: "I'm going today."

"I really miss you. You," the emperor thought, with the honor of ten thousand chariots, not as good as the people from poor families, so he could express his father-son love.In an instant, thousands of grievances and sorrows rushed to my heart, blocked my throat, and cried incoherently, "Take my words away!" But Weng Tonghe didn't dare to cry with the emperor anymore, and with the gesture of abiding by the way of ministers, he was ordered to answer cautiously and expressionlessly: "Yes!" So he withdrew from Yuqing Palace at noon, and immediately took a car to Shiyuan. As usual, he was received in the study by Chang Shi of the palace surnamed He.

"How is your lord these two days?" "It's getting worse!" He Changshi replied with a frown: "Eat less, sleep less, I just don't eat or sleep. I can't move my hands and feet. I had a major solution the day before yesterday, and it took me thirteen days. untie." "What about the spirit?" "Naturally withered to the extreme." Speaking of this, Ling Fu, the imperial doctor specially appointed by the Empress Dowager Cixi, passed by the window. Weng Tonghe was also familiar with him, so he called him by his nickname: "Chu Ping! Please come in and talk."

What I'm talking about is the condition of King Chun.Ling Fu Zeng was an unreserved person, he neither exaggerated nor concealed, saying that King Chun's origin had been lost, but if it was said to be in danger, it was not necessarily true. Hearing this, I can feel relieved.Weng Tonghe told He Changshi of the emperor's concern, and asked him to convey it to King Jin, and then he left and went home.When he went to the study the next day, the emperor didn't wait for him to speak, and said happily: "The military plane played today, and Prince Jin's illness has improved!"

"Yes!" Weng Tonghe concealed He Changshi's words, and just replied like this: "The imperial doctor Ling Fu once told the minister: Although Prince Ye's illness is serious, it doesn't matter for a while." "Hmm!" said the emperor, "The Empress Dowager has already issued an order: twenty-five to visit Prince Xingchun's mansion. His birthday is seventeen today, but I hope nothing will happen during these eight days." As he spoke, his expression became sad again. . That is to say, the emperor hoped that Prince Chun would not die during these eight days.Otherwise, the father and son will not even see each other for the last time!Weng Tonghe sighed silently, and said softly: "It's time to write a poem today, please ask the emperor to conceive it!" Where did the emperor come from to write poems?It's impossible to do.Because the Empress Dowager Cixi questioned his homework very strictly.So I could only pull myself up and answer: "The master made a question." Weng Tonghe also knew that the emperor didn't care about his homework, but he couldn't let the students go on vacation like a private teacher, so he only wrote a very broad poem title: "Improvisation for Many Days", two poems of seven unique styles. The rhyme of limit is also wide, which is the eleven truths of the upper level and the seven suns of the lower level. With the topic in hand, what the emperor thought of was the joy of the prosperous age, the harvest of the grain, and the lack of weapons and soldiers. During the slack season in winter, the family sat around the stove and chatted, vented and talked about family relationships.However, how can this longing be shaped into chants?The emperor's poems are also like the stereotyped writing of the end of the game, like the writing of the saints, there is a certain formula, such poem titles are always inspired by things, from the bitter cold of winter, thinking of the suffering of the people's livelihood, sympathizing with the common people and not knowing why they died ?Or Yu Ruixue was very relieved to think that next year must be a good year.Among these poems, most of the poems made by the emperors of different dynasties are the "Complete Works of Yangzheng Bookstore" written by Emperor Gan Xuanzong.However, after writing, I can't remember what I said?
