[Qing Dynasty] "Gege" is polite
Chapter 97
Yinzhen was the first to arrive.
Followed by Long Kedo and other courtiers.
Emperor Kangxi not only invited those princes and elder brothers to come over, but also recruited those elder brothers who were imprisoned except Yinfeng.Together with Yinyin, Yinzhi and others, it was rare for a long time to gather so completely.
Emperor Kangxi sat on the bed, his old appearance made people a little stunned, except for those individuals who could see Emperor Kangxi all the time, these people all saw the emperor after a month or two. It's probably too big.
Emperor Kangxi coughed a few times, and Liang Jiugong hurriedly handed over the teacup.He took a few sips from Liang Jiugong's hand, pushed away and looked at the people standing or kneeling in front of him, "Get up."
The voice was hoarse and vicissitudes of life, which made some people shake their hearts.
Yinzhen was slightly moved, and said in a hoarse voice, "I hope Huang Ama will take care of it."
After being imprisoned, Yin Yin's face looked a little depressed, seeing Emperor Kangxi's appearance and complicated emotions, "What are the imperial doctors doing!"
The elder brothers who gathered here probably felt a certain strange atmosphere, and spoke one after another.Some accused the imperial doctor of being ineffective, some were trying to stabilize Emperor Kangxi, and some even pointed the finger at Wen Liang, asking loudly why he had been by his side all these days.
Emperor Kangxi frowned and shouted, "Give me peace!"
Even though Emperor Kangxi's decline was so low, the moment the words came out, the emperor was overwhelmed and furious, and the whole hall was silent.
He waved to Wen Liang who was standing beside him, telling him to come forward.Since these people came in, Wen Liang retreated far away.
"You are all aggressive people. At this age, I can't even find a playmate for myself? Wen Liang has a quiet personality and does things safely. I am very relieved."
Emperor Kangxi maintained warmth and coolness in his words, but also implied a little impatience. At this juncture, he could still bite.
He took a breath, and then looked at the princes in front of him again, "I am not the kind of person who covets imperial power and seeks longevity. Now that this time has come, I am proud to speak clearly about what I should say."
"The imperial decree has been placed in a safe place. After I go, Longkodo, Zhang Tingyu, Li Guangdi and Liang Jiugong will go together to fetch the decree and promulgate it. At that time, you will all obey his orders. These days, all elder brothers will Stay in Changchun Garden."
Emperor Kangxi said lightly.
This last sentence was a little caught off guard. Emperor Kangxi's previous intention did not reveal this meaning. It vaguely wanted to detain these princes and elder brothers until the last moment, so as not to cause any trouble after going out.
Those who are cautious and suspicious can immediately understand what Emperor Kangxi means. The imperial guards guarding the entire Changchun Garden are not joking.Yinhu frowned slightly, and glanced at Yinxuan who was standing in the front.
It seems that Yinyi still can't understand the current atmosphere, or he doesn't want to think deeply at all, "Huang Ama, your body is important, so don't worry about it anymore."
After all, it is the son he once liked, Emperor Kangxi's face softened when he heard the words, "Liang Jiugong, you go and arrange this matter, these days should be more peaceful." At the back, Long Keduo, Zhang Tingyu and others.Li Guangdi was old and frail, and happened to be seriously ill in bed and could not get up.
Zhang Tingyu's official rank is not as high as that of Long Ke, but he is the most trusted and trusted minister of Emperor Kangxi in the past few years, and he has also reached the extreme in trying to figure out Emperor Kangxi's thoughts.After receiving Emperor Kangxi's signal, Zhang Tingyu was slightly relieved.
As long as the Lord Long Live doesn't want to change his mind temporarily.
Naturally, Long Kedo and Zhang Tingyu were not the only important ministers who came, but they left early under the cover of others.Although Emperor Kangxi restricted these elder brothers from going out of the house, if they stayed, they would naturally have to accept repeated inquiries, it would be better to leave early.
Although Emperor Kangxi summoned his sons to say everything that should be said, he still didn't like them very much, and after they finished talking, they threw them out one after another, without exception.
Wen Liang watched Emperor Kangxi's face turn from flushed to pale, and said softly while holding the medicinal juice just delivered, "You shouldn't be so angry."
Emperor Kangxi was already in poor health, and being angry only added to the burden.
Emperor Kangxi looked at Wen Liang, who was holding a medicine bowl with his eyebrows narrowed, and twitched his lips, "I am really wise, if I let them serve, I think the anger will not dissipate for a long time."
Wen Liang handed the medicine bowl to Emperor Kangxi, just at the right temperature for the entrance.Emperor Kangxi was not the kind of person who needed to be fed one sip at a time. After drinking it in one gulp, he put the medicine bowl on the table next to the bed, "You are not the one who waits for silence. Anyone who doesn't have eyes doesn't have to save face." .”
Wen Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head seriously, and covered Emperor Kangxi with a blanket, "It won't cause trouble."
Emperor Kangxi sighed, and pressed Wen Liang's shoulder like an elder, "It's useless to say these things at this time."
Wen Liang said nothing.
Emperor Kangxi really made up his mind that he didn't plan to come and watch over the troublesome things during his last period, except for a few things that needed him to deal with, other matters were temporarily handed over to Yinzhen and others.
Only Wen Liang was always by Emperor Kangxi's side. Such a situation made some people dissatisfied.When Yinzhen led someone to stop Yinzhen, Junmei's face was a bit ugly.
Yinzhen stood still, looked at Yinhu and the others behind Yinzhen, and said indifferently, "Brother, is there something to look for?"
Yinyi rolled his eyes, and took a step forward, "Huang Ama has always been accompanied by Wen Liang, so you will let him go at such an important time?"
Yinzhen's eyes swept over several people, and his tone was cool, "Since Huang Ama thinks so, why not?"
"Did you do something in it?" Yin Yin looked at Yin Zhen suspiciously.
Yinzhen took a step back indifferently, "Brother is worrying too much, and my younger brother has something else to do, so I leave."
Wen Liang was indeed valued by Kangxi, but they never thought that at such a time, Emperor Kangxi still kept Wen Liang by his side, but did not allow any of them to approach, how could this be acceptable to them.
Yinzhen couldn't do anything here, Yinzhen frowned and had other ideas.
Wen Liang lived very close to Emperor Kangxi, and he often accompanied Emperor Kangxi. It was difficult to block Wen Liang when he was alone, but it was not impossible.
Wen Liang raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, Yin Ling stood in front of Wen Liang alone, without any other casual attendants.
Although Yinfei was imprisoned by Emperor Kangxi, he has resumed his previous routine in Changchun Garden these days, and there are people around him to serve him.Although it is not the usual manpower, it is better than the bleakness of being imprisoned in the mansion.
"Wen Liang." Yinbi looked at Wen Liang sharply, as if he wanted to find some flaws in him, "How is Huang Ama?"
Wen Liang pursed her lips and said softly, "Not good."
Yin Yin was slightly suffocated, Xu didn't expect Wen Liang to answer so directly, followed by an angry face, "Since that's the case, are you still hanging around here?"
Wen Liang looked at him indifferently, "Long Live Lord is unwell, and Imperial Physician Chen is watching over him. If I go back to the house to get some things, I won't bother you to worry about it."
He bowed slightly, and walked to the side with a sense of greenness.
Yinfei stretched out his hand to stop him, with a dignified face and a little anger, "Huang Ama is like this now, it should be when I'm waiting by the side, Wen Liang also knows this etiquette."
Wen Liang pondered for a moment, then said silently, "Long Live Lord doesn't want to see you, and he won't help you in this matter."
Yinxuan frowned, his face was a little ugly, and the cool and quiet voice was still in his ears, "Long Live Lord is the emperor and your father, so I thought that what happened didn't leave no trace."
Wen Liang nodded at Yinxie, and passed by.
Yinyi stood where he was, but did not continue to persuade him to stay.
It must be with some sincerity that Yinbi can come here alone.No matter whether he cared about Emperor Kangxi sincerely or wanted to do something with it, it was just too late after all.
When Wen Liang returned to the house, Emperor Kangxi just opened his eyes and looked out the window. He couldn't get up these days, and his occasional movements became more and more slight.
It was not without reason that Emperor Kangxi summoned all the princes suddenly.
Wen Liang sat down next to him, wiped Emperor Kangxi's hands with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice, "The scenery outside is very nice. You can go out and have a look when Lord Long Live is in better health."
Emperor Kangxi slowly turned his head to look at him, and said with a faint smile, "It's rare to be able to say a few nice words, but this season is not my favorite. After all, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is charming, with the beauty of a water town. Warm and cool If you have a fate in the future, you can go and have a look.”
Wen Liang put a handkerchief on the copper basin, and said, "Someone thinks that the rare beauty of the desert and wilderness should also be liked by the Lord Long Live."
Emperor Kangxi laughed lowly, patted Wen Liang's hand, and said suddenly, "In these days, there must be quite a few people who bother you. But at this time, people always act recklessly."
Wen Liang calmly listened to Emperor Kangxi's words.
Emperor Kangxi didn't like to listen to the voices of his sons arguing when it came to an end, and he didn't want to see those faces with all kinds of desires and thoughts. This was the last waywardness of the old man.
"It's uncomfortable to stay in the capital, so go to the south of the Yangtze River. You don't need to go to Saibei. There are still people there. If you really don't like it, you can go to sea as you like. If you have the ability, let yourself live better." Emperor Kangxi followed the temptation , with a gentle tone, "At this age, I don't have anything to regret. Wen Liang, don't think about turning back until you are seventy or eighty, then you really can't turn back."
Wen Liang frowned slightly, because of Emperor Kangxi's dying words, "Long Live Lord..."
Emperor Kangxi's hand was a little weak, and he shook it on the back of Wen Liang's hand, and said softly, "Just do what you want."
Wen Liang's eyes moved slightly, as if thinking of something, he frowned slightly and was about to say something.Emperor Kangxi patted Wen Liang's hand again, and said with a light smile, "Okay."
This seemed to be some kind of moral, interrupting what Wen Liang wanted to say, and only listened to Emperor Kangxi's reply.
"I'm tired, Wen Liang, let's go out."
The small pimple between Wen Liang's eyebrows did not go away for a long time, and he stood up after Emperor Kangxi tucked in the quilt, "Long live Lord, rest well."
Emperor Kangxi nodded with a smile.
When Wen Liang went out, he whispered to Liang Jiugong who had been guarding the house, "Long Live Lord."
Liang Jiugong nodded.
Wen Liang stepped over the threshold and stood outside the door looking at the dappled light in the courtyard, feeling uncomfortable.He waved away Lu Yi from following, and left the courtyard alone.
At this time, the scenery of Changchun Garden is suitable, and it is the most beautiful time, but the people who come and go don't pay attention to it.Wen Liang walked along the path to the lake where he had been boating, and looked at the sparkling lake with a sense of loss.
From a distance, Yin Zhen saw Wen Liang standing tall, looking very thin.
The sound of Yinzhen's footsteps was familiar to Wen Liang, and since Yinzhen didn't hide it at all, Wen Liang turned around and took a look silently.Yinzhen walked up to Wen Liang's side and stood side by side with him, speaking softly, "You're in a bad mood?"
Wen Liang nodded quietly, "It's been bad."
Listening to the sour feeling that seemed to be there, Yinzhen's expression became a little heavy.If even Wen Liang is like this, then Huang Ama...
Emperor Kangxi didn't want to see them, and Yinzhen didn't know what the current situation of Emperor Kangxi was.Although Wen Liang can get in touch, but he is often around Emperor Kangxi, and in addition to being in Changchun Garden where everyone is watching, the two of them seldom get together.
Wen Liang seemed indifferent, but Yin Zhen could still see the gloomy look in his brows.
Yinzhen sighed, what should come will come sooner or later, even if you want to hide, you can't avoid it.
Wen Liang stood on the lake for a long while, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.He frowned slightly, looking at the lake with a slightly erratic gaze.
"……wrong."
Yinzhen frowned, he couldn't quite hear what Wen Liang was saying, "What do you mean sir?"
Wen Liang came back to his senses, not aware of what he had just confide just now, he suddenly looked up at Yinzhen, "No!" Wen Liang's eyes were sharp, and he immediately went back to the way he came when he regained his senses.
Yinzhen suddenly felt strange, and followed Wen Liang to leave.
In the room at that time, Liang Jiugong was guarding Emperor Kangxi, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.
His thoughts were a little scattered, staying on Emperor Kangxi for a while, and then shifting to Wen Liang again, but he never dared to take his eyes off Emperor Kangxi.
Recently, the atmosphere in Changchun Garden has become more and more tense. Lord Long Live detained the princes in Changchun Garden. This behavior also caused a little turmoil in the court. The situation is stable, and everyone knows it well, silently having their own concerns.
Liang Jiugong, as the chief eunuch of Emperor Kangxi, naturally attracted much attention, and because of the issue of passing on the throne, he naturally had more reasons to spy on him.
Liang Jiugong was used to these things, but Emperor Kangxi's orderly arrangement made Liang Jiugong a little uncomfortable.
After all, he is the master who has been serving him for so many years. Although Liang Jiugong is greedy for money and has his own plans, he is still loyal to Emperor Kangxi. Otherwise, Liang Jiugong would not have stayed by Emperor Kangxi's side for so many years.
He changed his movements, and continued to look at Emperor Kangxi, hoping that the emperor would be better.
Ok?
Liang Jiugong frowned, looked away, and then back again, as if something was wrong.
His face was a little puzzled, and he stared at the dragon bed for a long time, and his face suddenly changed!
He finally knew what was wrong!
Liang Jiugong rushed to the side of the bed in a few steps, and before he could confirm the future, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him. Liang Jiugong was startled and looked back, only to see Mr. Wen, who had just left, rush in through the door and came to the bed in the blink of an eye.
There was a commotion outside the door, and the voices of Yinyi and others could be vaguely heard.
Liang Jiugong was a little dazed for a while, and saw that the husband had collected his mind, and suddenly stretched out his finger to rest on the nose of Long Live Lord for a long time. The ominous movement was a bit frightening. For a long time, Liang Jiugong hoped for some sound to break the silence at the moment.
Wen Liang withdrew his hand in a daze, his expression changed slightly, and his lips moved slightly.
"...Long Live Lord, you are dead."
Liang Jiugong took a deep breath and coughed violently.It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he had been holding his breath just now, not daring to make any movements.
The movement outside the door seemed to stop at this moment.
Liang Jiugong subconsciously glanced at Wen Liang, and suddenly his eyes widened. He was shocked at the moment he saw Mr. Wen's eyes that were always calm and shattered, and the sudden grief almost completely shook Liang Jiugong's fixed impression.
Wen Liang closed his eyes and opened them again. At that moment, his face was wrapped in layers of ice and disappeared completely.
"Eunuch Liang, please go and invite all the lords and lords Baylor. Mr. Zhang is supposed to be here. After Mr. Tong Jia is invited, the three of you should go to Qianqing Palace to ask for the edict."
The warm and cool voice was still the same, as cold as a spring, pulling Liang Jiugong back from the unconcealable grief.
The elder brothers gathered outside were all like wolves and tigers, if they couldn't suppress... Liang Jiugong felt a chill in his heart.
Outside the door, Yinxie and others were confronting the imperial guards at the door, all of them had serious faces, and refused to let all elder brothers in.Emperor Kangxi has a decree that no one is allowed to enter unless the emperor summons him.
Yinzhen was also blocked from the door, and did not know anything about the inside of the house.But Wen Liang's reaction just now gave Yin Zhen a bad premonition.
Yinbi was so anxious during these times, looking at the guard standing in front of him, he wished he could tear him apart.If it wasn't for Yinzhen who was also rejected, the anger in Yinzhen's heart couldn't be suppressed no matter what.
Yinhu and the others also followed Yinbi, not to help Yang Wei, but just by coincidence, they all planned to come to see Huang Ama, the feeling of waiting to die was too boring.Moreover, they didn't know anything about Emperor Kangxi's situation, and they were quite worried.
The atmosphere outside the door was condensed to the extreme, and at a moment when a certain conflict was about to erupt, Liang Jiugong walked outside the door with a pale face, and all eyes were on him in an instant.
Liang Jiugong looked miserable, and said, "Your Majesty, you are dead."
The sharp voice cut through the tense atmosphere and broke through the last tight barrier. Everyone was caught off guard, and their expressions changed subtly.
Yinhu was the quickest to respond, crying in the blink of an eye, "Huang Ama—" Yinxuan's face changed drastically, and he rushed into the house in a few steps, but the imperial guards at the door didn't stop him, and let the elder brothers go in .
Liang Jiugong stood hesitantly at the door for a few breaths, took a deep breath and looked at the person standing at the end, "Master Zhang, please?"
Zhang Tingyu looked disappointed and nodded, "Eunuch Liang, please."
Crying came from the room behind him. Apart from the guards guarding the door, even the courtiers in the courtyard knelt down and cried bitterly. I don’t know if the shocking crying was for Emperor Kangxi’s death or for his own floating. fate.
Wen Liang stood in the corner and looked at the elder brothers who were crying uncontrollably, recalling all the things that happened to Emperor Kangxi before, it was actually a sign.
It's a pity that Wen Liang found out too late.
Chen Yuyi and others naturally made another diagnosis, but the result remained the same. Emperor Kangxi passed away peacefully in his sleep.
Compared with surviving in pain and suffering, this method may be more enjoyable.
Yin Yu, Yin Zhi and the others were crying uncontrollably. The elders burst into tears and lost control. They knelt down in front of Emperor Kangxi, and couldn't see clearly. The elder brother behind him either stood or knelt, with a look of grief on his face.
Wen Liang's attention was entirely on Yinzhen.His expression changed slightly, the corners of his eyes were red, and he seemed unmoved at first glance, but Wen Liang saw the pain in his eyes and the clenched fist at his side.
The mournful atmosphere in the house didn't last too long. After Yin Yin staggered up, he found Wen Liang's location at a glance, and strode towards him with an ugly expression on his face, "Huang Ama was fine before, Wen Liang, What kind of drug did you give Huang Ama? You let him take you with you all the time, and excluded me from waiting outside! Now that Huang Ama is passing away, and you are the only one present? How to explain all these doubts! "
Yinfei stood still three steps in front of Wen Liang, not because he didn't want to move forward, but because someone blocked Wen Liang.
With a solemn face, Yin Zhen said in a deep voice, "Brother, speak carefully!"
"Fourth, Huang Ama has passed away, how can you tell me to be cautious?" Yin Yin's face was gloomy, and his tone was aggressive, "When you are so sad, you don't even shed a tear. I have never seen you being too cold-blooded!"
"Big brother!"
Yinxiang took a few steps, subtly blocked the way forward for others, and said sincerely, "Chen Yuyi is an old man who has been with Huang Ama for many years. He must not be bribed by Mr. Wen. Brother's words are too much." It's hard for Yinxiang to say much about the latter.
Yinhu suddenly said, "That's not necessarily the case. Didn't the imperial physicians be bribed before? If Imperial Physician Chen was also bribed, that's unknown."
Chen Yuyi was blowing his beard and staring in the corner with anger, it was his life!
It was rare for Yinzhi not to say much, his eyes lingered back and forth on the confronting people, and he said lightly, "Liang Jiugong will never be bribed, right? Wouldn't it be good to let him come to testify?"
Yinhu was silent, if even Liang Jiugong could be bribed, Emperor Kangxi wouldn't have to be the emperor anymore.
Only then did they realize that Liang Jiugong was nowhere to be seen!
The situation in front of him didn't seem to affect Wen Liang, he took a step forward without paying attention, and handed a handkerchief to Yin Zhen, "It's time for you to wipe your injury."
Xu Zhen took it subconsciously, and the blood on the loosened palm was obviously caused by his excessive force.
Everyone's eyes fell on Yinzhen, who would dare to say that Yinzhen had a heart of stone and remained indifferent!
Wen Liang looked at everyone present calmly, "Eunuch Liang is going to the Qianqing Palace to ask for a will, and I hope you all stay safe and don't be impatient."
He paused, and then said, "Long Live Lord just drove west of Hexi, please stay in Germany, don't make trouble here."
Yin'e couldn't bear to see Wen Liang's behavior the most, and snorted coldly, "Our brothers are talking, what right do you have to interrupt?"
Yin'e wanted to say this sentence for a long time, could it be that Emperor Kangxi has been protecting Wen Liang, when will he take Wen Liang seriously, he is just an inconspicuous clan member.
Yinzhen rolled his eyelids coldly, "I said he has it, so he has it."
The scene froze for a moment.
Until now, everyone suddenly discovered that, apart from Yin Qi who had been silent all this time, Yin Zhen was the one with the highest title among these brothers.He made a sound suddenly, and Yin'e had nothing to say for a while.
Yinxiang tried to smooth things over, unable to hide his sadness, "Huang Ama just went west, so don't make trouble."
Before the edict came, the room was full of silence and no one spoke.Occasionally, there was a sound of sobbing, and grief spread, and at this moment, someone had something wrong in their hearts, and they couldn't do anything.
Emperor Kangxi's methods were decisive. After he ruthlessly cut off the connection between the elder brothers and the outside world, even at this moment it was difficult for them to pass on the news, and it was too late.
The imperial guards around the door were the last line of defense that Emperor Kangxi stepped down, and no one except the emperor could order them to move.
I don't know how long it took, the twilight was dim, and the sound of footsteps finally sounded outside the house.Long Kedo, Zhang Tingyu, Li Guangdi and others appeared in front of the elder brothers, followed by the ministers and six ministers.
The imperial decree held by Liang Jiugong undoubtedly became the focus of everyone.
Li Guangdi was a trusted minister of Emperor Kangxi and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.Longkodo is the brother-in-law of Emperor Kangxi and the admiral of the Nine Gates.And Zhang Tingyu is the favored minister who has been promoted repeatedly by Emperor Kangxi in recent years, not to mention Liang Jiugong, who is the chief eunuch who has been serving Emperor Kangxi personally all these years.
These few people jointly took out Emperor Kangxi's edict, so he should have his own conviction.
Long Keduo glanced at Li Guangdi, and took the initiative to say frankly, "Scholar Li is appointed by the Lord Long Live, please ask the Grand Scholar to proclaim the decree."
Li Guangdi was already very old and his body was weak, this time he got up from the sick bed and rushed to Changchun Garden.He coughed a few times in a low voice, and without any pushback, he accepted the imperial decree from Liang Jiugong.
There is not only one copy of the imperial decree, but three copies, written in three languages including Manchu, Han and Mongolian.What Li Guangdi took over was in Chinese.
He unfolded the imperial decree tremblingly, and densely packed small characters jumped out of the paper. With Li Guangdi's aged voice, he gradually read out, "It has always been the case that the emperor ruled the world without respecting the heaven and the ancestors... I am sixty years old. Bit 52 years..."
The edict said a few hundred words less, Li Guangdi spoke slowly, and only his voice could be heard in the silent room.The twilight in the western slant is getting darker, and no one mentions it.
"...After my death, if you can be vigilant and safe, I will die happily. Yinzhen, the fourth son of Prince Yong, has a noble character and is deeply inferior to me. He will definitely be able to inherit the rule..."
Li Guangdi seemed unaware of the momentary stalemate in the room after the taboo was revealed, and read on as if no one else was there.
"Following my ascension to the throne, that is, the emperor's position, that is, obeying the public system, holding the uniform for 27 days, releasing the uniform and announcing it at home and abroad, so that the salty envoys can hear about it. This is it."
When Li Guangdi stopped, some people subconsciously leaned forward, presumably thinking there was more to come.Seeing him roll up the imperial edict and hand it back to Liang Jiugong, an old voice sounded, "The first emperor's last edict is in triplicate, all written by himself. If you have any doubts, you can come and check."
When the words fell, and before everyone could react, Li Guangdi knelt down towards Yinzhen, "Old minister, I pay my respects to the emperor. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" His duty is to ensure the handover of the old and new imperial power. After bowing, he knelt calmly.
Long Kedo's speed was not slow, he followed Li Guangdi and knelt down to salute, and then Zhang Tingyu, all the great scholars, and the six ministers knelt down one after another.
The sound spread outside the house, and the sensitive palace people didn't know that the new emperor had appeared. The sound at that moment overwhelmed the house, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
There are those who are happy, those who are not willing, and those who are pretending to be spectators on the wall. They can only kneel down in the flood of such voices when they listen to the loud sound of long live.
The tide is gone and cannot be undone.
Yinzhen's eyes fell on Wen Liang who was closest to him, and he saw him open his hem and knelt down calmly.
This was the first and last time he bowed down to Yinzhen.
Wen Liang's position was facing Kangxi's body on the bed. This kneeling was not for the imperial power, but for the great cause, and also for the long-term love and protection of Emperor Kangxi.
The last ray of light at dusk outside the house remained on the head of the guard's red spike gun, and he knelt down at the feet of the new emperor with a solemn expression.
Kangxi's body was escorted back to the Qing Palace, and then the capital was under martial law and news was blocked.All the officials in Changchun Garden in the afternoon stayed in the palace, and none of the elder brothers left the palace.
Qin Tianjian received the first decree from the new emperor after he ascended the throne, to calculate the auspicious days for the small burial and the big burial.
Wen Liang accompanied Yinzhen to stand in the Qianqing Palace, only the two of them were in the palace for the time being.Yinzhen looked at Kangxi's body without saying a word, and he let out a breath after a long time, his hands trembling a little.
"Warm and cool."
Yinzhen stretched out his hands to wrap around his warm wrists. In summer, those hands were so cold, as if they had just left from ice and snow.
"Warm and cool."
Yinzhen muttered another sentence softly, and hugged Wen Liang into his arms.The quiet and cold fragrance floats, refreshing.
"Don't kneel down in front of me in the future, just now I was taken aback by Wen Liang." Yinzhen leaned on Wen Liang's shoulder and said in a low voice.
Wen Liang knew that this was not what Yinzhen wanted to say, so he put his arms around Yinzhen's generous back and nodded slightly.
It is dark, but there will always be morning light.
Followed by Long Kedo and other courtiers.
Emperor Kangxi not only invited those princes and elder brothers to come over, but also recruited those elder brothers who were imprisoned except Yinfeng.Together with Yinyin, Yinzhi and others, it was rare for a long time to gather so completely.
Emperor Kangxi sat on the bed, his old appearance made people a little stunned, except for those individuals who could see Emperor Kangxi all the time, these people all saw the emperor after a month or two. It's probably too big.
Emperor Kangxi coughed a few times, and Liang Jiugong hurriedly handed over the teacup.He took a few sips from Liang Jiugong's hand, pushed away and looked at the people standing or kneeling in front of him, "Get up."
The voice was hoarse and vicissitudes of life, which made some people shake their hearts.
Yinzhen was slightly moved, and said in a hoarse voice, "I hope Huang Ama will take care of it."
After being imprisoned, Yin Yin's face looked a little depressed, seeing Emperor Kangxi's appearance and complicated emotions, "What are the imperial doctors doing!"
The elder brothers who gathered here probably felt a certain strange atmosphere, and spoke one after another.Some accused the imperial doctor of being ineffective, some were trying to stabilize Emperor Kangxi, and some even pointed the finger at Wen Liang, asking loudly why he had been by his side all these days.
Emperor Kangxi frowned and shouted, "Give me peace!"
Even though Emperor Kangxi's decline was so low, the moment the words came out, the emperor was overwhelmed and furious, and the whole hall was silent.
He waved to Wen Liang who was standing beside him, telling him to come forward.Since these people came in, Wen Liang retreated far away.
"You are all aggressive people. At this age, I can't even find a playmate for myself? Wen Liang has a quiet personality and does things safely. I am very relieved."
Emperor Kangxi maintained warmth and coolness in his words, but also implied a little impatience. At this juncture, he could still bite.
He took a breath, and then looked at the princes in front of him again, "I am not the kind of person who covets imperial power and seeks longevity. Now that this time has come, I am proud to speak clearly about what I should say."
"The imperial decree has been placed in a safe place. After I go, Longkodo, Zhang Tingyu, Li Guangdi and Liang Jiugong will go together to fetch the decree and promulgate it. At that time, you will all obey his orders. These days, all elder brothers will Stay in Changchun Garden."
Emperor Kangxi said lightly.
This last sentence was a little caught off guard. Emperor Kangxi's previous intention did not reveal this meaning. It vaguely wanted to detain these princes and elder brothers until the last moment, so as not to cause any trouble after going out.
Those who are cautious and suspicious can immediately understand what Emperor Kangxi means. The imperial guards guarding the entire Changchun Garden are not joking.Yinhu frowned slightly, and glanced at Yinxuan who was standing in the front.
It seems that Yinyi still can't understand the current atmosphere, or he doesn't want to think deeply at all, "Huang Ama, your body is important, so don't worry about it anymore."
After all, it is the son he once liked, Emperor Kangxi's face softened when he heard the words, "Liang Jiugong, you go and arrange this matter, these days should be more peaceful." At the back, Long Keduo, Zhang Tingyu and others.Li Guangdi was old and frail, and happened to be seriously ill in bed and could not get up.
Zhang Tingyu's official rank is not as high as that of Long Ke, but he is the most trusted and trusted minister of Emperor Kangxi in the past few years, and he has also reached the extreme in trying to figure out Emperor Kangxi's thoughts.After receiving Emperor Kangxi's signal, Zhang Tingyu was slightly relieved.
As long as the Lord Long Live doesn't want to change his mind temporarily.
Naturally, Long Kedo and Zhang Tingyu were not the only important ministers who came, but they left early under the cover of others.Although Emperor Kangxi restricted these elder brothers from going out of the house, if they stayed, they would naturally have to accept repeated inquiries, it would be better to leave early.
Although Emperor Kangxi summoned his sons to say everything that should be said, he still didn't like them very much, and after they finished talking, they threw them out one after another, without exception.
Wen Liang watched Emperor Kangxi's face turn from flushed to pale, and said softly while holding the medicinal juice just delivered, "You shouldn't be so angry."
Emperor Kangxi was already in poor health, and being angry only added to the burden.
Emperor Kangxi looked at Wen Liang, who was holding a medicine bowl with his eyebrows narrowed, and twitched his lips, "I am really wise, if I let them serve, I think the anger will not dissipate for a long time."
Wen Liang handed the medicine bowl to Emperor Kangxi, just at the right temperature for the entrance.Emperor Kangxi was not the kind of person who needed to be fed one sip at a time. After drinking it in one gulp, he put the medicine bowl on the table next to the bed, "You are not the one who waits for silence. Anyone who doesn't have eyes doesn't have to save face." .”
Wen Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head seriously, and covered Emperor Kangxi with a blanket, "It won't cause trouble."
Emperor Kangxi sighed, and pressed Wen Liang's shoulder like an elder, "It's useless to say these things at this time."
Wen Liang said nothing.
Emperor Kangxi really made up his mind that he didn't plan to come and watch over the troublesome things during his last period, except for a few things that needed him to deal with, other matters were temporarily handed over to Yinzhen and others.
Only Wen Liang was always by Emperor Kangxi's side. Such a situation made some people dissatisfied.When Yinzhen led someone to stop Yinzhen, Junmei's face was a bit ugly.
Yinzhen stood still, looked at Yinhu and the others behind Yinzhen, and said indifferently, "Brother, is there something to look for?"
Yinyi rolled his eyes, and took a step forward, "Huang Ama has always been accompanied by Wen Liang, so you will let him go at such an important time?"
Yinzhen's eyes swept over several people, and his tone was cool, "Since Huang Ama thinks so, why not?"
"Did you do something in it?" Yin Yin looked at Yin Zhen suspiciously.
Yinzhen took a step back indifferently, "Brother is worrying too much, and my younger brother has something else to do, so I leave."
Wen Liang was indeed valued by Kangxi, but they never thought that at such a time, Emperor Kangxi still kept Wen Liang by his side, but did not allow any of them to approach, how could this be acceptable to them.
Yinzhen couldn't do anything here, Yinzhen frowned and had other ideas.
Wen Liang lived very close to Emperor Kangxi, and he often accompanied Emperor Kangxi. It was difficult to block Wen Liang when he was alone, but it was not impossible.
Wen Liang raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, Yin Ling stood in front of Wen Liang alone, without any other casual attendants.
Although Yinfei was imprisoned by Emperor Kangxi, he has resumed his previous routine in Changchun Garden these days, and there are people around him to serve him.Although it is not the usual manpower, it is better than the bleakness of being imprisoned in the mansion.
"Wen Liang." Yinbi looked at Wen Liang sharply, as if he wanted to find some flaws in him, "How is Huang Ama?"
Wen Liang pursed her lips and said softly, "Not good."
Yin Yin was slightly suffocated, Xu didn't expect Wen Liang to answer so directly, followed by an angry face, "Since that's the case, are you still hanging around here?"
Wen Liang looked at him indifferently, "Long Live Lord is unwell, and Imperial Physician Chen is watching over him. If I go back to the house to get some things, I won't bother you to worry about it."
He bowed slightly, and walked to the side with a sense of greenness.
Yinfei stretched out his hand to stop him, with a dignified face and a little anger, "Huang Ama is like this now, it should be when I'm waiting by the side, Wen Liang also knows this etiquette."
Wen Liang pondered for a moment, then said silently, "Long Live Lord doesn't want to see you, and he won't help you in this matter."
Yinxuan frowned, his face was a little ugly, and the cool and quiet voice was still in his ears, "Long Live Lord is the emperor and your father, so I thought that what happened didn't leave no trace."
Wen Liang nodded at Yinxie, and passed by.
Yinyi stood where he was, but did not continue to persuade him to stay.
It must be with some sincerity that Yinbi can come here alone.No matter whether he cared about Emperor Kangxi sincerely or wanted to do something with it, it was just too late after all.
When Wen Liang returned to the house, Emperor Kangxi just opened his eyes and looked out the window. He couldn't get up these days, and his occasional movements became more and more slight.
It was not without reason that Emperor Kangxi summoned all the princes suddenly.
Wen Liang sat down next to him, wiped Emperor Kangxi's hands with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice, "The scenery outside is very nice. You can go out and have a look when Lord Long Live is in better health."
Emperor Kangxi slowly turned his head to look at him, and said with a faint smile, "It's rare to be able to say a few nice words, but this season is not my favorite. After all, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is charming, with the beauty of a water town. Warm and cool If you have a fate in the future, you can go and have a look.”
Wen Liang put a handkerchief on the copper basin, and said, "Someone thinks that the rare beauty of the desert and wilderness should also be liked by the Lord Long Live."
Emperor Kangxi laughed lowly, patted Wen Liang's hand, and said suddenly, "In these days, there must be quite a few people who bother you. But at this time, people always act recklessly."
Wen Liang calmly listened to Emperor Kangxi's words.
Emperor Kangxi didn't like to listen to the voices of his sons arguing when it came to an end, and he didn't want to see those faces with all kinds of desires and thoughts. This was the last waywardness of the old man.
"It's uncomfortable to stay in the capital, so go to the south of the Yangtze River. You don't need to go to Saibei. There are still people there. If you really don't like it, you can go to sea as you like. If you have the ability, let yourself live better." Emperor Kangxi followed the temptation , with a gentle tone, "At this age, I don't have anything to regret. Wen Liang, don't think about turning back until you are seventy or eighty, then you really can't turn back."
Wen Liang frowned slightly, because of Emperor Kangxi's dying words, "Long Live Lord..."
Emperor Kangxi's hand was a little weak, and he shook it on the back of Wen Liang's hand, and said softly, "Just do what you want."
Wen Liang's eyes moved slightly, as if thinking of something, he frowned slightly and was about to say something.Emperor Kangxi patted Wen Liang's hand again, and said with a light smile, "Okay."
This seemed to be some kind of moral, interrupting what Wen Liang wanted to say, and only listened to Emperor Kangxi's reply.
"I'm tired, Wen Liang, let's go out."
The small pimple between Wen Liang's eyebrows did not go away for a long time, and he stood up after Emperor Kangxi tucked in the quilt, "Long live Lord, rest well."
Emperor Kangxi nodded with a smile.
When Wen Liang went out, he whispered to Liang Jiugong who had been guarding the house, "Long Live Lord."
Liang Jiugong nodded.
Wen Liang stepped over the threshold and stood outside the door looking at the dappled light in the courtyard, feeling uncomfortable.He waved away Lu Yi from following, and left the courtyard alone.
At this time, the scenery of Changchun Garden is suitable, and it is the most beautiful time, but the people who come and go don't pay attention to it.Wen Liang walked along the path to the lake where he had been boating, and looked at the sparkling lake with a sense of loss.
From a distance, Yin Zhen saw Wen Liang standing tall, looking very thin.
The sound of Yinzhen's footsteps was familiar to Wen Liang, and since Yinzhen didn't hide it at all, Wen Liang turned around and took a look silently.Yinzhen walked up to Wen Liang's side and stood side by side with him, speaking softly, "You're in a bad mood?"
Wen Liang nodded quietly, "It's been bad."
Listening to the sour feeling that seemed to be there, Yinzhen's expression became a little heavy.If even Wen Liang is like this, then Huang Ama...
Emperor Kangxi didn't want to see them, and Yinzhen didn't know what the current situation of Emperor Kangxi was.Although Wen Liang can get in touch, but he is often around Emperor Kangxi, and in addition to being in Changchun Garden where everyone is watching, the two of them seldom get together.
Wen Liang seemed indifferent, but Yin Zhen could still see the gloomy look in his brows.
Yinzhen sighed, what should come will come sooner or later, even if you want to hide, you can't avoid it.
Wen Liang stood on the lake for a long while, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.He frowned slightly, looking at the lake with a slightly erratic gaze.
"……wrong."
Yinzhen frowned, he couldn't quite hear what Wen Liang was saying, "What do you mean sir?"
Wen Liang came back to his senses, not aware of what he had just confide just now, he suddenly looked up at Yinzhen, "No!" Wen Liang's eyes were sharp, and he immediately went back to the way he came when he regained his senses.
Yinzhen suddenly felt strange, and followed Wen Liang to leave.
In the room at that time, Liang Jiugong was guarding Emperor Kangxi, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.
His thoughts were a little scattered, staying on Emperor Kangxi for a while, and then shifting to Wen Liang again, but he never dared to take his eyes off Emperor Kangxi.
Recently, the atmosphere in Changchun Garden has become more and more tense. Lord Long Live detained the princes in Changchun Garden. This behavior also caused a little turmoil in the court. The situation is stable, and everyone knows it well, silently having their own concerns.
Liang Jiugong, as the chief eunuch of Emperor Kangxi, naturally attracted much attention, and because of the issue of passing on the throne, he naturally had more reasons to spy on him.
Liang Jiugong was used to these things, but Emperor Kangxi's orderly arrangement made Liang Jiugong a little uncomfortable.
After all, he is the master who has been serving him for so many years. Although Liang Jiugong is greedy for money and has his own plans, he is still loyal to Emperor Kangxi. Otherwise, Liang Jiugong would not have stayed by Emperor Kangxi's side for so many years.
He changed his movements, and continued to look at Emperor Kangxi, hoping that the emperor would be better.
Ok?
Liang Jiugong frowned, looked away, and then back again, as if something was wrong.
His face was a little puzzled, and he stared at the dragon bed for a long time, and his face suddenly changed!
He finally knew what was wrong!
Liang Jiugong rushed to the side of the bed in a few steps, and before he could confirm the future, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him. Liang Jiugong was startled and looked back, only to see Mr. Wen, who had just left, rush in through the door and came to the bed in the blink of an eye.
There was a commotion outside the door, and the voices of Yinyi and others could be vaguely heard.
Liang Jiugong was a little dazed for a while, and saw that the husband had collected his mind, and suddenly stretched out his finger to rest on the nose of Long Live Lord for a long time. The ominous movement was a bit frightening. For a long time, Liang Jiugong hoped for some sound to break the silence at the moment.
Wen Liang withdrew his hand in a daze, his expression changed slightly, and his lips moved slightly.
"...Long Live Lord, you are dead."
Liang Jiugong took a deep breath and coughed violently.It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he had been holding his breath just now, not daring to make any movements.
The movement outside the door seemed to stop at this moment.
Liang Jiugong subconsciously glanced at Wen Liang, and suddenly his eyes widened. He was shocked at the moment he saw Mr. Wen's eyes that were always calm and shattered, and the sudden grief almost completely shook Liang Jiugong's fixed impression.
Wen Liang closed his eyes and opened them again. At that moment, his face was wrapped in layers of ice and disappeared completely.
"Eunuch Liang, please go and invite all the lords and lords Baylor. Mr. Zhang is supposed to be here. After Mr. Tong Jia is invited, the three of you should go to Qianqing Palace to ask for the edict."
The warm and cool voice was still the same, as cold as a spring, pulling Liang Jiugong back from the unconcealable grief.
The elder brothers gathered outside were all like wolves and tigers, if they couldn't suppress... Liang Jiugong felt a chill in his heart.
Outside the door, Yinxie and others were confronting the imperial guards at the door, all of them had serious faces, and refused to let all elder brothers in.Emperor Kangxi has a decree that no one is allowed to enter unless the emperor summons him.
Yinzhen was also blocked from the door, and did not know anything about the inside of the house.But Wen Liang's reaction just now gave Yin Zhen a bad premonition.
Yinbi was so anxious during these times, looking at the guard standing in front of him, he wished he could tear him apart.If it wasn't for Yinzhen who was also rejected, the anger in Yinzhen's heart couldn't be suppressed no matter what.
Yinhu and the others also followed Yinbi, not to help Yang Wei, but just by coincidence, they all planned to come to see Huang Ama, the feeling of waiting to die was too boring.Moreover, they didn't know anything about Emperor Kangxi's situation, and they were quite worried.
The atmosphere outside the door was condensed to the extreme, and at a moment when a certain conflict was about to erupt, Liang Jiugong walked outside the door with a pale face, and all eyes were on him in an instant.
Liang Jiugong looked miserable, and said, "Your Majesty, you are dead."
The sharp voice cut through the tense atmosphere and broke through the last tight barrier. Everyone was caught off guard, and their expressions changed subtly.
Yinhu was the quickest to respond, crying in the blink of an eye, "Huang Ama—" Yinxuan's face changed drastically, and he rushed into the house in a few steps, but the imperial guards at the door didn't stop him, and let the elder brothers go in .
Liang Jiugong stood hesitantly at the door for a few breaths, took a deep breath and looked at the person standing at the end, "Master Zhang, please?"
Zhang Tingyu looked disappointed and nodded, "Eunuch Liang, please."
Crying came from the room behind him. Apart from the guards guarding the door, even the courtiers in the courtyard knelt down and cried bitterly. I don’t know if the shocking crying was for Emperor Kangxi’s death or for his own floating. fate.
Wen Liang stood in the corner and looked at the elder brothers who were crying uncontrollably, recalling all the things that happened to Emperor Kangxi before, it was actually a sign.
It's a pity that Wen Liang found out too late.
Chen Yuyi and others naturally made another diagnosis, but the result remained the same. Emperor Kangxi passed away peacefully in his sleep.
Compared with surviving in pain and suffering, this method may be more enjoyable.
Yin Yu, Yin Zhi and the others were crying uncontrollably. The elders burst into tears and lost control. They knelt down in front of Emperor Kangxi, and couldn't see clearly. The elder brother behind him either stood or knelt, with a look of grief on his face.
Wen Liang's attention was entirely on Yinzhen.His expression changed slightly, the corners of his eyes were red, and he seemed unmoved at first glance, but Wen Liang saw the pain in his eyes and the clenched fist at his side.
The mournful atmosphere in the house didn't last too long. After Yin Yin staggered up, he found Wen Liang's location at a glance, and strode towards him with an ugly expression on his face, "Huang Ama was fine before, Wen Liang, What kind of drug did you give Huang Ama? You let him take you with you all the time, and excluded me from waiting outside! Now that Huang Ama is passing away, and you are the only one present? How to explain all these doubts! "
Yinfei stood still three steps in front of Wen Liang, not because he didn't want to move forward, but because someone blocked Wen Liang.
With a solemn face, Yin Zhen said in a deep voice, "Brother, speak carefully!"
"Fourth, Huang Ama has passed away, how can you tell me to be cautious?" Yin Yin's face was gloomy, and his tone was aggressive, "When you are so sad, you don't even shed a tear. I have never seen you being too cold-blooded!"
"Big brother!"
Yinxiang took a few steps, subtly blocked the way forward for others, and said sincerely, "Chen Yuyi is an old man who has been with Huang Ama for many years. He must not be bribed by Mr. Wen. Brother's words are too much." It's hard for Yinxiang to say much about the latter.
Yinhu suddenly said, "That's not necessarily the case. Didn't the imperial physicians be bribed before? If Imperial Physician Chen was also bribed, that's unknown."
Chen Yuyi was blowing his beard and staring in the corner with anger, it was his life!
It was rare for Yinzhi not to say much, his eyes lingered back and forth on the confronting people, and he said lightly, "Liang Jiugong will never be bribed, right? Wouldn't it be good to let him come to testify?"
Yinhu was silent, if even Liang Jiugong could be bribed, Emperor Kangxi wouldn't have to be the emperor anymore.
Only then did they realize that Liang Jiugong was nowhere to be seen!
The situation in front of him didn't seem to affect Wen Liang, he took a step forward without paying attention, and handed a handkerchief to Yin Zhen, "It's time for you to wipe your injury."
Xu Zhen took it subconsciously, and the blood on the loosened palm was obviously caused by his excessive force.
Everyone's eyes fell on Yinzhen, who would dare to say that Yinzhen had a heart of stone and remained indifferent!
Wen Liang looked at everyone present calmly, "Eunuch Liang is going to the Qianqing Palace to ask for a will, and I hope you all stay safe and don't be impatient."
He paused, and then said, "Long Live Lord just drove west of Hexi, please stay in Germany, don't make trouble here."
Yin'e couldn't bear to see Wen Liang's behavior the most, and snorted coldly, "Our brothers are talking, what right do you have to interrupt?"
Yin'e wanted to say this sentence for a long time, could it be that Emperor Kangxi has been protecting Wen Liang, when will he take Wen Liang seriously, he is just an inconspicuous clan member.
Yinzhen rolled his eyelids coldly, "I said he has it, so he has it."
The scene froze for a moment.
Until now, everyone suddenly discovered that, apart from Yin Qi who had been silent all this time, Yin Zhen was the one with the highest title among these brothers.He made a sound suddenly, and Yin'e had nothing to say for a while.
Yinxiang tried to smooth things over, unable to hide his sadness, "Huang Ama just went west, so don't make trouble."
Before the edict came, the room was full of silence and no one spoke.Occasionally, there was a sound of sobbing, and grief spread, and at this moment, someone had something wrong in their hearts, and they couldn't do anything.
Emperor Kangxi's methods were decisive. After he ruthlessly cut off the connection between the elder brothers and the outside world, even at this moment it was difficult for them to pass on the news, and it was too late.
The imperial guards around the door were the last line of defense that Emperor Kangxi stepped down, and no one except the emperor could order them to move.
I don't know how long it took, the twilight was dim, and the sound of footsteps finally sounded outside the house.Long Kedo, Zhang Tingyu, Li Guangdi and others appeared in front of the elder brothers, followed by the ministers and six ministers.
The imperial decree held by Liang Jiugong undoubtedly became the focus of everyone.
Li Guangdi was a trusted minister of Emperor Kangxi and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.Longkodo is the brother-in-law of Emperor Kangxi and the admiral of the Nine Gates.And Zhang Tingyu is the favored minister who has been promoted repeatedly by Emperor Kangxi in recent years, not to mention Liang Jiugong, who is the chief eunuch who has been serving Emperor Kangxi personally all these years.
These few people jointly took out Emperor Kangxi's edict, so he should have his own conviction.
Long Keduo glanced at Li Guangdi, and took the initiative to say frankly, "Scholar Li is appointed by the Lord Long Live, please ask the Grand Scholar to proclaim the decree."
Li Guangdi was already very old and his body was weak, this time he got up from the sick bed and rushed to Changchun Garden.He coughed a few times in a low voice, and without any pushback, he accepted the imperial decree from Liang Jiugong.
There is not only one copy of the imperial decree, but three copies, written in three languages including Manchu, Han and Mongolian.What Li Guangdi took over was in Chinese.
He unfolded the imperial decree tremblingly, and densely packed small characters jumped out of the paper. With Li Guangdi's aged voice, he gradually read out, "It has always been the case that the emperor ruled the world without respecting the heaven and the ancestors... I am sixty years old. Bit 52 years..."
The edict said a few hundred words less, Li Guangdi spoke slowly, and only his voice could be heard in the silent room.The twilight in the western slant is getting darker, and no one mentions it.
"...After my death, if you can be vigilant and safe, I will die happily. Yinzhen, the fourth son of Prince Yong, has a noble character and is deeply inferior to me. He will definitely be able to inherit the rule..."
Li Guangdi seemed unaware of the momentary stalemate in the room after the taboo was revealed, and read on as if no one else was there.
"Following my ascension to the throne, that is, the emperor's position, that is, obeying the public system, holding the uniform for 27 days, releasing the uniform and announcing it at home and abroad, so that the salty envoys can hear about it. This is it."
When Li Guangdi stopped, some people subconsciously leaned forward, presumably thinking there was more to come.Seeing him roll up the imperial edict and hand it back to Liang Jiugong, an old voice sounded, "The first emperor's last edict is in triplicate, all written by himself. If you have any doubts, you can come and check."
When the words fell, and before everyone could react, Li Guangdi knelt down towards Yinzhen, "Old minister, I pay my respects to the emperor. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" His duty is to ensure the handover of the old and new imperial power. After bowing, he knelt calmly.
Long Kedo's speed was not slow, he followed Li Guangdi and knelt down to salute, and then Zhang Tingyu, all the great scholars, and the six ministers knelt down one after another.
The sound spread outside the house, and the sensitive palace people didn't know that the new emperor had appeared. The sound at that moment overwhelmed the house, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
There are those who are happy, those who are not willing, and those who are pretending to be spectators on the wall. They can only kneel down in the flood of such voices when they listen to the loud sound of long live.
The tide is gone and cannot be undone.
Yinzhen's eyes fell on Wen Liang who was closest to him, and he saw him open his hem and knelt down calmly.
This was the first and last time he bowed down to Yinzhen.
Wen Liang's position was facing Kangxi's body on the bed. This kneeling was not for the imperial power, but for the great cause, and also for the long-term love and protection of Emperor Kangxi.
The last ray of light at dusk outside the house remained on the head of the guard's red spike gun, and he knelt down at the feet of the new emperor with a solemn expression.
Kangxi's body was escorted back to the Qing Palace, and then the capital was under martial law and news was blocked.All the officials in Changchun Garden in the afternoon stayed in the palace, and none of the elder brothers left the palace.
Qin Tianjian received the first decree from the new emperor after he ascended the throne, to calculate the auspicious days for the small burial and the big burial.
Wen Liang accompanied Yinzhen to stand in the Qianqing Palace, only the two of them were in the palace for the time being.Yinzhen looked at Kangxi's body without saying a word, and he let out a breath after a long time, his hands trembling a little.
"Warm and cool."
Yinzhen stretched out his hands to wrap around his warm wrists. In summer, those hands were so cold, as if they had just left from ice and snow.
"Warm and cool."
Yinzhen muttered another sentence softly, and hugged Wen Liang into his arms.The quiet and cold fragrance floats, refreshing.
"Don't kneel down in front of me in the future, just now I was taken aback by Wen Liang." Yinzhen leaned on Wen Liang's shoulder and said in a low voice.
Wen Liang knew that this was not what Yinzhen wanted to say, so he put his arms around Yinzhen's generous back and nodded slightly.
It is dark, but there will always be morning light.
