My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 772 The Older Generation

There is an official road between Mashen Bridge and the imperial mausoleum, and the carriage traveled fast, and arrived at the place in less than an hour.

Brother Nine covered himself tightly and got out of the carriage.

The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother followed.

The third elder brother also came down from the front, and said with a bit of embarrassment: "Ninth brother, these three people are too crowded in one car, why don't we open the windows to disperse the smell..."

Brother Jiu glanced at him, nodded and said, "What Third Brother said is also..."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to a guard and said, "Open the curtains and windows of the car in front, just to disperse!"

Third Elder Brother: "..."

He hesitated and said: "Why don't you bear it first, so as not to get cold in the carriage, and it will be cold when you go back!"

Brother Nine waved his hands and said: "It's okay, let it be cold if it's cold!"

Anyway, I don't sit down.

snort!
The guardian of the imperial mausoleum has brought the officials on duty from various yamen to greet him.

There are many people stationed here in the imperial mausoleum.

There are people from the House of Internal Affairs, who are responsible for keeping, taking and sending various gold and silver utensils, making sacrifices, and opening and closing doors inside and outside the mausoleum, sweeping, and lighting out lights.

There are people in the Ministry of Rites, who are responsible for producing and supplying raw materials for sacrifices, abbots for sacrificial rituals, and slaughtering cattle and sheep.

There are people from the Ministry of Industry who are responsible for the daily maintenance of the mausoleum, making some gold and silver vessels and offering utensils, and making various supplies in the mausoleum.

These are three sets of management teams.

There are also two sets of security agencies, the Eight Banners and the Green Camp, which are responsible for the security.

Although Brother Nine is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was ordered to come here to check the preparations for Shengjia's visit to the mausoleum, and it's not just the Ministry of Internal Affairs that intervened.

When the person in charge of each yamen reported the matter, the ninth elder brother did not leave immediately, but took the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother to the Temporary Feng'an Hall, Xiaoling Mausoleum and the Queen's Mausoleum. Pass.

seeing is believing.

This is the experience gained by Brother Nine as a errand for a year and a half.

The people below like to be fooled, so they should pay more attention to it, so as to avoid problems, it is a mistake of "overseeing".

If there are too many "neglects of supervision", it means dereliction of duty, and the position will become unstable.

The Temple of Temporary Feng'an was built after the death of the Empress Dowager.

It used a new hall in the Compassionate Ning Palace. The Empress Dowager liked it very much and used to live there.

After the Empress Dowager passed away, according to the regulations, she was to be buried in Emperor Taizong's Zhaoling Mausoleum.

Zhaoling is located in Shengjing and is one of the three tombs in Shengjing.

However, the Empress Dowager had a will and did not want to be buried with her. One was that the Emperor Taizong had been buried for many years, so it was not easy to disturb them;

Therefore, Kangxi demolished the palace that the Empress Dowager liked, and moved it directly to the gate of Xiaoling Mausoleum to rebuild it, and used it as a temporary hall for enshrining the coffin of the Empress Dowager.

Needless to say, Xiaoling Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Emperor Sezu.

The so-called "Queen's Mausoleum" is actually Kangxi's imperial mausoleum, which was first built in February of the 15th year of Kangxi and completed in February of the 20th year of Kangxi.

According to the rules of the past dynasties, the underground palace of the imperial mausoleum is only opened after the emperor's death. If the empress dies first, the Zi Palace will be kept outside.

When it came to Kangxi, they ordered the empress to be buried first, and after the emperor's mausoleum was completed, they ordered people to move Empress Renxiao and Empress Xiaozhao's Zigong into the underground palace.

In the 28th year of Kangxi, Empress Xiaoyi died, and this is also the case.

Therefore, a great sacrifice will also be held here now.

The royal mausoleum is so dense that even the two younger brothers, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, are a bit solemn, and stop gossiping.

Brother Nine did his duty conscientiously, and found that there were no mistakes, so he returned to the gate of the imperial mausoleum.

The third elder brother was talking to the guards, when he saw a few elder brothers coming back, he smiled and said, "Is it time to return?"

Brother Jiu nodded and said, "It's just right, don't delay."

Brother Jiu's carriage had its doors and windows open, so it was completely cold without even thinking about it.

The third elder brother smiled and said: "Okay, let's go quickly..."

After that, he went to the carriage behind.

Seeing this, Brother Jiu hurriedly grabbed his arm, raised his eyebrows and said, "Third brother, what are you doing here?"

The third elder brother smiled bitterly and said: "I'd better deal with the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers for a while, this time I won't take off my shoes..."

Brother Jiu felt his hands itch when he saw his cheap appearance, and said very bluntly: "Okay, I can't sit down, we are still squeezed together!"

Let's talk, he signaled the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother to get in the car quickly.

He has limited strength, but he can't hold back the savage third elder brother.

The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother got into the car quickly, and then the two younger brothers blocked the door of the carriage again, not giving way to the third elder brother.

Third Elder Brother was a step late and regretted it so much, just now that the younger ones had left, he should have asked someone to pull down the curtain of the carriage in front of him.

Otherwise, open the carriage curtain at the back as well.

Brothers should "share the blessings" and "share the difficulties"...

Why is one car warm and the other not?

There was nothing he could do now, with so many people watching, it was not easy to drag and pull, so he reluctantly went back to the carriage in front of him.

A group of people began to return.

In the carriage, Brother Nine rubbed his fists and said: "The third brother is too much to be beaten, the brother in front is really well-restrained, if I hit him three times a day, I will beat him up The fault is returned to the board!"

Elder Brother Thirteen reminded: "Only the elder brother can do it, other people will be 'beating brother', Khan Ama won't allow it!"

Brother Nine gritted his teeth and said, "Either way, we're at the bottom of the queue and suffer a lot! Being an older brother doesn't look like an older brother, and Khan Ama doesn't reprimand him when it's time to reprimand him!"

The fourteenth elder brother stood beside him, straightened his waist and said: "There is no such reason. It is true that the elders and children are orderly, but I did not say that I cannot fight back. If anyone hits me, I will definitely fight back. I can't be bullied!"

Brother Jiu remembered the fight in the paddock last year, and no one was left behind.

He said sullenly: "Forget it, a gentleman uses his words but not his hands, so I'm too lazy to argue with him."

As he said this, he had already made a note in his heart.

After nearly an hour, a group of people returned to Xingzai.

It was already dark.

Walk inside and out, brightly lit.

Kangxi didn't need to be late yet, he was waiting for his sons to come back.

After Brother Nine and his party had finished freshening up, they arrived at Yuqian.

The eldest princess is not here, she has already rested.

The dinner table has been set up, it is a round table.

Kangxi is in the middle, Princess Rongxian is on the left, and Elder Brother is on the right.

This is the preciousness that can embody Manchu daughters. Unmarried aunts are above sisters-in-law; married aunts Guining are above brothers.

Seeing that the third princes had come back, Kangxi also signaled them to sit down.

The third elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother sat next to Princess Rong Xian, while the ninth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother sat next to the eldest elder brother.

Kangxi is reminiscing about the Empress Dowager with a pair of children.

This is the eldest son and eldest daughter, one was born in 11 years of Kangxi, the other was born in 12 years of Kangxi, and both of them were not young when the empress dowager died in 26 years of Kangxi.

The elder brother said: "My son still remembers the mutton buns in Wuku's mother's palace. They used to be there at any time. There is a bag full of meat, and the chopped green onions are less."

Princess Rongxian said: "Mother Wuku is simple herself, but she loves to dress us up. She used to ask Su Ma to paint palace flowers and make silk for us..."

Kangxi fell into nostalgia, looked at Princess Rongxian, and said: "Before the Empress Dowager left, the one who worried the most was Princess Dachang."

Princess Rong Xian looked a little bitter, and said: "Grandmother only has this one thing on her mind."

Kangxi has seen the pulse case of the eldest princess, and knows that the old man is able to travel now, and he is supported by eating "Yanshou Pills" every day.

He looked at the prescription carefully. In addition to ginseng, which invigorates Qi, there are also two sleeping pills.

That's why the eldest princess went to bed early.

Old and sick people are most afraid of restless pillows at night.

If you get enough sleep, you will feel better in spirit.

The third elder brother was at the side, and said: "Maybe it's because of the weather that my aunt feels uncomfortable. When the weather improves in the new year, it will get better."

Kangxi glanced at him, noncommittal.

Brother Nine's complexion was a bit ugly, drooping, as if worried.

Kangxi saw him and looked at Brother Jiu.

Brother Jiu sighed, and said: "Let's not talk about the aunt's side, the old man's side doesn't seem to be doing well, I heard that he is just struggling."

This is about Princess Dachang's concubine brother, Emperor Taizong's concubine son Fu Guogong Chang Shu, who has been sick since last year, and will not be well after winter this year.

Compared with the eldest princess, it is a cold stove.

Although Brother Nine didn't move around with that side, but he is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and knows more news, which is still embarrassing.

Kangxi's face was pale.

He never liked this uncle.

When he was appointed general of Zhenguo at the beginning, it was after he took charge of the government that he promoted his close branch and promoted him to be the Duke of Fuguo.

As a result, Chang Shu is confused and can't tell the difference between distance and distance.

When the San Francisco Rebellion broke out, Kangxi wanted to conquer in person and establish a crown prince to stabilize the court. As a result, Chang Shu had a banquet with others, mentioned the past of the emperor Shizu, and said that the instability of the feudal town was due to the disharmony of the Eight Banners.

The Eight Banners are not in harmony. This is because the present is a common branch, and it is impossible to convince the founding princes and grandchildren.

It also mentioned that Emperor Shizu wanted to establish Jieshu and Yue Le...

Kangxi didn't keep this uncle to make trouble, and then found Fu Guogong who had ousted Chang Shu.

It wasn't until last year when Chang Shu was ill that Kangxi granted a Fuguogong to go on.

Although it has been more than 20 years, Kangxi still feels blocked when thinking of this past event.

For the emperor, the clan is a double-edged sword, which can be used to protect himself from the outside world, but it must also guard against backlash.

It took him 30 years to change the previous pattern so that the imperial power was above the clan, without the clan princes coercing it.

But the current weakness of the clan is just an appearance.

Their roots are still there.

If the prince can't be subdued in the future, then maybe he will have to restore the old situation.

Thinking of this, Kangxi glanced at elder brother.

At that time, the clan that the crown prince will face will not only be the descendants of the founding kings, but also his own descendants.

The prince must not only be powerful, but also have the capacity to tolerate others, so as to show his brother's kindness.

But the prince's temper has always been used to dominating me...

*
Mulan paddock, palace.

The prince was having a banquet with his subordinates and accompanying guards.

Tomorrow will be a parade, just thinking about it makes people look forward to it.

After coming out of the palace, the depression in his heart dissipated a lot, the prince raised his wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

He is the crown prince, under one person, above tens of thousands...
