Crossing Prince Yinren

Yinfeng was reading the letter, holding the letter with his slender fingers and smiling slightly, his handsome face looked like a painting in the London wind in June.

Shen Tingwen lazily wrapped his neck around his neck from behind, and said, "Whose letter is it, what are you laughing at?"

Yinfeng still had that strange smile on his brows and eyes: "Xinzhen's letter, he said that my mausoleum has been completed."

Shen Tingwen was stunned for a moment, sat up straight unconsciously, paused, and said, "Yes. From the third year of Changping to the present, 26 years, it has finally been completed."

After a while, Fang Shi laughed and said, "'The Holy Son of Heaven's filial piety is the first in the world, and the first is the mountain mausoleum.'Wannian Jidao'opens the blessing and prosperity, and the prosperity of the ten thousand years', this is a big event. In the prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties, the emperor's mausoleum They all spent one-third of the national treasury. Maoling was built for 53 years, and Qianling was built for 57 years. The Taishang Emperor opened the sea ban and connected the world, which is not inferior to the Ming Lords of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The mausoleum cannot be inferior." The sound of the three words was soft and long, with a hint of ridicule.

Yinfeng said indifferently: "What jokes are you talking about? How can the current weather of the Qing Dynasty be a tenth of that of the prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties? You don't blush when you say these words, but I blush when I hear them. Besides, if the mausoleum is built well, Guozuo For thousands of years, how can there be a change of dynasty in this world? After I die, I don’t want to be buried in the emperor’s mausoleum. I will be cremated wherever I die, and then scatter the ashes into the sea. some things."

Shen Tingwen didn't like to listen at first: "Tell me what is dead and alive." Then it was strange, "What are you going to put in the emperor's tomb? You always have such strange ideas. If a generation of emperors does not enter the emperor's tomb, you are not afraid of loving the new one." The ancestors of the Jueluo family blamed you for being unfilial? Are you afraid that the ancestors blamed you for being unfilial?"

Yinreng put down the letter paper, and his smile added some satisfaction: "It's something more worth saving than a stinky skin. The ancestral tomb of Aixinjueluo's family is not the place I should go. And," he turned around Come and hold Shen Tingwen's hand, watching him intently, "Don't you want to keep a handful of my ashes to be buried with you?"

Shen Tingwen was stunned for a moment, and said, "What did you say?"

Yinfeng stroked his cheek, "I know you are going back to your parents."

Shen Tingwen's eyes were red, and he suddenly turned his head away.

Yes, after he died, he hoped that Ye Luo would return to his roots. He was not filial in life, but after death, his bones wanted to be with his parents' graves forever.After the strict father and loving mother were gone, I realized how much I owed Gaotang. When I was young, I only felt that the family was bound to death, and I couldn't breathe.

But how can you be willing to leave this person beside you?Even after death already unconscious.

Although lucky enough to be able to accompany the prime minister in this life, he still couldn't stop his greed and hoped that he could still have the same acupuncture point after death.

After a long while, Fang said again: "Cremate anywhere, spread ashes to the sea, and share a share with me...Since ancient times, emperors have been honored with gold and jade, and you don't pay much attention to these funeral affairs. Although all of you have the custom of cremation, you You are too unscrupulous. What are you trying to do, destroy yourself?"

Yinfeng said: "What's wrong? Life is just a big dream. After it's over, it will turn into a handful of ashes and a puff of smoke. Why bother to leave any follow-up. Wrapped in gold and jade, buried in a thousand years of immortality. In the emperor's tomb, things have changed after tens of hundreds of years, and the tomb robbers went in and faked corpses for others to see, wouldn't it be too ugly."

Shen Tingwen was startled by his words: "What kind of words are these? How can anyone curse himself? Our Qing Dynasty is now in a state of prosperity, and it is the time when it is extremely prosperous. Which little thief dares to steal the imperial tomb?" But think about it , The 300-year cycle of chaos, how can there be a long-lasting Guozuo, I admire Yinfeng's thinking.

Then he asked again, "Then what is hidden in your imperial tomb?"

"It's...books."

In the newly built underground palace of the Zunhua Imperial Mausoleum at the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain in China, Prince Cheng Yinzhi accompanied the current Emperor Yongzheng as he walked through rows of tall and valuable fragrant wood bookshelves, and the shelves were full of volumes.

Prince Cheng was puzzled and said: "These books have never been edited. Why did the second brother spend so much effort to preserve them? It's outrageous for a generation of emperors not to be buried with a single piece of gold and silver treasures. Besides, all kinds of books are kept. It is necessary to keep so many books out of fashion. It’s not easy at all to not be buggy or bad, just look at how big this underground palace has been built!”

Yong inspected the scrolls expressionlessly, and said, "It's just the will of Kong Yu to keep the books on the wall."

"Collecting books on the wall..." Yinzhi was stunned, and then frowned in disbelief, "The emperor thinks that the second brother thinks that our descendants will do something like burning books and burying scholars!?"

The collection of books on the wall by Kong Xun tells the story of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty. When the first emperor burned the books, Kong Xun, the ninth generation grandson of Confucius, hid Confucian classics such as "The Analects of Confucius", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Spring and Autumn", and "Book of Filial Piety" in Confucius. In the walls of the former house, these books were saved from a catastrophe.Yongzheng believed that it was Lubi's will that his elder brother copied all the books that could be collected in the world and kept them in the mausoleum. How could he not be shocked! ?

On the other side of the ocean, someone asked another question and was shocked by the answer: "Lubi's will? You mean, you think your descendants will follow Qin Shihuang!? Don't deny it, or you won't They are all stored in the mausoleum, only your descendants dare not touch your mausoleum!"

Yinfeng smiled because of his sensitivity: "The first emperor burned books, and the doctor's hall kept them. What was burned was only private books, and it was Xiang Yu who really burned books. Most of his own books were destroyed in the flames of war. Why don't you say that I'm worried. War?"

Shen Tingwen gave him a blank look: "Don't fool me, if there is a war, the first thing Cao Cao, Wen Tao and his ilk have to do is to send a grave to enrich their military resources, so they can escape by hiding the books in the mausoleum?"

Although he is already middle-aged, his peach blossom eyes are still full of passion, which adds to the warmth and refinement of the years. He has short hair and is wearing simple and bright clothes that are different from Chinese and Western clothes at this time, tailored according to Yin Reng's meaning. There is a charm in the fresh green and sunshine of early summer in London in the early eighteenth century.

Yinfeng couldn't help but pulled his fingers and kissed him, and said with a smile, "You really dare to say anything." What Shen Tingwen said undoubtedly meant that his tomb would be discovered later.

Shen Tingwen also felt a little jealous, and said uncomfortably: "Isn't it? Otherwise, if you hide the book in the mausoleum, what's the use of keeping it for thousands of years!"

Yinfeng laughed and said: "Naturally, 'everything is found in ancient tombs', I hide these things for future generations to see." Then these young people sighed, "But it's just doing your best and obeying the destiny. When Zuo is in decline, maybe another fool digs up this tomb and sets it on fire, then everything will be over."

Shen Tingwen laughed and said: "It must be because you took a lot of time to dig up the tomb to see, you are so small that you are not willing to bury even a gold and silver treasure, and you are so angry."

Yinfeng smiled: "It makes sense, it seems that I should still write to my fourth brother and ask him to put some things in it."

Shen Tingwen has not forgotten the previous topic: "You haven't said why you think that there are people like Qin Shihuang among the descendants."

There was more sarcasm in Yinreng's eyes: "I don't want to have it either, but I'm afraid it's inevitable."

The memory before time travel has gradually blurred in the long years of this life, and the only thing left is the catastrophe of Chinese culture a few decades later, which is even more hated than burning books and burying Confucianism—the fourth son of Yinzhen , one of the most proud works of Hongli, who is now more than ten years old, and later Emperor Qianlong, is the compilation of Sikuquanshu.

In history, Qin Shihuang's burning of books was nothing more than burning the historical records of various countries and the private collections of "Poems" and "Books" that did not belong to the Doctor's Hall. All content that is conducive to governance is deleted, altered, distorted, or the entire book is destroyed.The first emperor burned all the books on medicine, divination, and tree planting, but Hongli's repair books were all caught up.It is not an exaggeration at all to judge it as cultural castration by later generations.

It has been more than 40 years, and after a time-lapse, he still remembers the indignation when he was only a teenager at that time when he occasionally found out the information of "Tiangong Kaiwu". I don’t know how many previous people’s painstaking efforts and civilization essence were deleted and destroyed!

The first emperor burned the book and still kept the original, and Hongli was completely castrated and distorted.

Among all his nephews, he disliked Hongli the least, but he still had to pass the throne to Yinzhen.Among the brothers, he is the only one who has the most aptitude and talent of a monarch, and is also the most suitable person for his age, means and personality.Yinreng is more interested in his strong sense of responsibility, he can see the common people in his eyes.

Without someone more suitable, he couldn't abandon his father because of his son.If it is passed to others, he will not know what will happen immediately, but if it is passed to Yinzhen, at least it can be sure that the common people can live a good life for 20 years.

He didn't know if this was the so-called error-correcting ability of history itself. Kangxi abdicated more than 20 years earlier, and replaced him with 20 years of reign. The time when the throne was passed to Yinzhen was several years earlier than in the original history.

Kangxi handed over the throne to him smoothly, and there was no tragic "Nine Dragons Conquest" in the late Kangxi Dynasty.

Abdicated at the age of 40 at the peak of his life. Of course, he thought that he had done everything he could do with his own ability. He could only bring the empire to this level. The Tian family's internal fighting consumes national power, and it is because of the cold heart.Compared with the "Great Qing" in history, the current Qing Dynasty seems to have changed beyond recognition, but he clearly knows that as long as there is an unworthy descendant who is short-sighted and likes to pretend to be smart like Qianlong in the original history, everything will return to the original place.

He left behind a powerful navy; he opened up the sea, tilted more than one-third of the country's taxes to the ocean, and directly linked the interests of the nobles with overseas trade income; he exempted farmers from taxes, and erected a " If you want the country to be strong and prosperous, you must not ignore the sea, wealth comes from the sea, and danger also comes from the sea." The stele stipulates that the children of the clan must go abroad for three years after the age of 15; relax the rule that the Manchus are not allowed to leave the residence without authorization, and allow them to go abroad. I hope to broaden the horizons of future generations and let them see the whole world.

He set an example and left a precedent, hoping that the emperor's reign would not be longer than 20 years, so as to restrain the expansion of monarchy.But he also clearly knew that all of this was built on floating sand. The Manchus are a slavery society, and the whole of China is in a semi-slavery. The courtiers are all slaves. anti.However, there is no king who does not want to centralize the monarchy, and does not want the country to have only one voice, which is conducive to ruling ideas. In this dynasty without checks and balances, the emergence of Siku Quanshu is simply inevitable. It is not Hongli, it will be another person.

But he can't change anything, he can't change the entire Qing government system, even if he is the emperor.The Eight Banners system is the foundation of this nation based on this country. He tried to touch it, but he could only smash himself to pieces, and there would be no results other than causing turmoil and suffering for the people.All he can do is to preserve these books, preserve a kindling, a possibility, and guide people to take a long-term view of the vast world outside of China, and not narrow their vision so much that they only want to castrate themselves.

Shen Tingwen saw that he was not interested, so he stopped asking, and changed the subject: "How long are we going to stay here? Since you are here to visit the sixth prince, why don't you stay in his fief with the mandarin duck-eyed duke? As long as the castle is tidied up and able to live in, why do you want to stay in this messy city for so long."

Yinfeng didn't want to continue talking about the topic just now, so he changed the subject with a smile: "You don't like this place? In fact, I don't like it either, but here is brewing an unprecedented big change that is related to the luck of China and the West. , I want to take a good look."

Shen Tingwen frowned. He is the most intelligent person in the world. It's not that he didn't notice the faint or obvious restlessness in the cities that Yinfeng paid special attention to along the way. Such a big change can be related to the luck of China and the West.

Yinfeng put his arms around his waist and continued: "Since you don't like it, we will leave in a few days. Xiaoliu has already seen it. Let's go to sea and go to find that unknown land in the extreme south. That piece of land It is so big that it is almost equal to our China."

Shen Tingwen smiled: "Where is that place? No one has heard of it. Why are you so sure that it exists? Is it an overseas fairy mountain? It is Penglai, Fangzhang, 5, and the year-old spiritual grass in front of the gate. People eat so much that they are not old. …

Or Yingzhou? "

Yinfeng raised his head and kissed him: "It's the fairy mansion of the Antarctic fairy. There are spiritual grasses growing everywhere. If you eat them, you will not grow old. How about we go there as immortals?"

Shen Tingwen leaned on him, letting the breeze brush their clothes and hair, yearning for them.
