Chapter 998: What Did She Say?
The fourth master lowered his head and glanced at Chen Biao, as if he remembered something else, "By the way, send more people to Ningguta and take Thirteen and his Fujin back to the capital, hurry!" β
"Huh."
By the middle of May, the Fourteenth Master finally lived up to the Fourth Master's brotherhood towards him, and only returned to the capital with ten guards.
Although if he returns to Beijing with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the throne of the fourth master may not be secure.
But he still didn't.
On the one hand, he considered that the fourth master did not kill him completely.
He was more or less concerned about the love between brothers.
After all, it's my own brother who came here.
On the other hand, he had to do that.
The fourteenth master is reckless, but he is both civil and military, and he has his own set of methods for leading troops to fight.
There are also unique insights into politics.
First of all, he knew that he was carrying hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and all the food, grass and military salaries needed to be supported by the capital and the local area.
But the grain, grass and military salaries were in the hands of Nian Qianyao and Li Wei.
Once the military food and grass are cut off, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are like fish on the chopping block.
Moreover, the fourth master inherited the throne, which was justified by an edict.
If he returns to Beijing with his soldiers, he will be a rebel and a rebellion, and his name will not be justified.
One is not popular with the people.
Second, it is easy to lose people's hearts.
Besides, the odds are too low.
In addition, the capital has long been under the control of the fourth master, if he acts rashly, it will cause trouble.
Moreover, since the late reign of Kangxi, the Qing Dynasty has been a peaceful and prosperous era of Kangxi.
Both soldiers and civilians longed for peace.
Rashly launching a coup d'Γ©tat and waging war in the interior, without the support of the people, is a lone army.
What's more, Nian Qianyao is still the governor of Sichuan Gorge.
In the absence of military rations, it is a big problem to break through the level of Nian Qianyao.
Not to mention the defense forces in the capital, there is Feiyangu who holds the important position of the commander of the Nine Gates.
At that time, even if hundreds of thousands of troops are coming to the city, it will still be too difficult to break through the capital.
In this way, it is a long way to return to Beijing from the border pass.
One has no food and grass, and the other has to go all the way, which is tantamount to a tired army.
Not only that, but there is also a thirteenth master who is comparable to his troops.
The thirteenth master has always been good friends with the fourth master, he is bold and bold, and he is known for his chivalry, and he is known as the "chivalrous king".
If he really mutinied, he would also weigh the weight of the Thirteenth Master.
Therefore, all kinds of things, even if Concubine De, the eighth master, the ninth master, and those rumors say that he is the king of succession.
But without definite evidence and testaments, he would not have done anything wrong.
And he is an extremely filial person.
In his heart, filial piety is very important.
Now that Kangxi has died, for the fourteenth master, the most important thing is to hurry back to Beijing to guard the spirit.
Nothing could be more important than that.
This is also a big reason why he is willing to hand over the military power and hand over the military power to the fourth master.
Now, he is a great general king who has no military power.
is no longer a biting tiger, but an empty pole prince.
However, because of all kinds of misunderstandings in the past, as well as the misunderstandings created by Concubine De and the Eighth and Ninth Masters, the Fourteenth Master was always a little unconvinced.
However, after the fourteenth master returned to Beijing, he did not show any dissatisfaction.
Instead, like the rest of the elder brothers, he kept watch in front of Kangxi's coffin.
Such days lasted until the twenty-seventh day after Kangxi's death.
Now, it is necessary to move Kangxi's coffin to the funeral palace and park it for a period of time, and then enter the imperial mausoleum.
It is said that the Son of Heaven will be buried on the seventh day and in July.
So, in general, mortuaries are more than seven days.
But there are also stops for dozens of days.
As for the time to actually be buried in the imperial tomb, the time is a little longer.
Although it can be buried in seven months.
But there are also those who have been buried for less than four months, or after a two-year hiatus.
Because tens of millions of laborers had to be arranged to work day and night to repair the royal road to the mausoleum.
You have to wait until the mountain side is completely ready before you can be buried.
In the average family, the mourning period is three years, about 27 months.
It is the first month of the two anniversaries plus the third anniversary.
But the fourth master is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven replaces the moon with the day.
Therefore, his mourning period was twenty-seven days.
Because the heir emperor had better listen to the government on three days, thirteen days of small auspicious memorials, fifteen days of great auspicious memorials, and twenty-seven days of mourning expires.
But don't say twenty-seven days.
It was during the twenty-seven days of the mourning that the fourth master had already dealt with many large and small government affairs in addition to the memorial.
After all, a kingdom cannot be without a king for a day.
Now Kangxi's coffin has been moved from the Qianqing Palace to the funeral palace, which means that the mourning period of the fourth master has expired.
Next, it's time to deal with the matters of enthronement and the canonization of the harem.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has chosen an auspicious day for you to ascend the throne, saying that it is the eighth day of the first lunar month, which is an excellent day." Su Peisheng said.
The fourth master raised his head and put down the wolf pen in his hand.
The yellow calendar on the side casually flipped through it.
"Well, then it's set on the eighth day of the sixth month, and let the Ministry of Rites start to do it."
"Huh." After Su Peisheng responded, he glanced at He Zhongkang.
It's not his turn to run errands like this.
The fourth master put down the yellow calendar in his hand and looked up at the sunny sky outside.
asked lightly: "How is the Queen Mother lately?" β
"Back to the emperor, Queen Mother" Su Peisheng said, a little embarrassed.
The Queen Mother never wanted to see the emperor before.
Now that even if the master has become the emperor, instead of feeling proud, her old man does not want to see the emperor.
As long as he has one mouth all day long, he says that the emperor is not in front of the minions.
Those words, even if he is a eunuch, he doesn't dare to pass them on.
Really, it's the first time he's seen a mother like this when he's lived for such an age.
I really doubt that it is the emperor's mother-in-law.
The eccentricity is biased to grandma's house!
The fourth master looked at Su Peisheng's unspeakable appearance, and he frowned imperceptibly with thick eyebrows, "What did she say?" β
As soon as he asked this, where did Su Peisheng dare to reply.
He knelt down tremblingly and said, "Your Majesty, you still go to Yonghe Palace by yourself to take a look, and you will understand everything, and the rest is to give the slave 10,000 guts, and the slave will not dare to say it." β
The Queen Mother is the emperor's mother-in-law.
She dared to say that the emperor killed her father, tampered with the edict, and took her brother's throne.
But he's a minion, ten thousand don't dare.
The fourth master glanced at Su Peisheng deeply, and probably guessed something.
Then he stood up with his hands and said, "That's it, Hengzhu I ascended the throne, and she will be present and be the only one who will accept my salute." So I went to the Yonghe Palace to see her, and told her about the day of my enthronement. β
Even if he knew what kind of face he would see and what kind of nails he would encounter when he went there, it still didn't matter if he went.
This kind of man, even big things can't crush him.
It will only make him more and more frustrated.
