Clearance: Reset History

In the 42nd year of Kangxi, Kangxi's 42th birthday is destined to be uneventful.On the eve of Wanshou Festival, Elder Brother Shi, who had been missing for nearly ten years, was found.Although the courtiers disdained him for his bandit behavior in the South China Sea in the past few years, he still didn't say much because of his status as the "prince who had been missing for many years".Therefore, in the joyful atmosphere that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites can create, the Longevity Day in Kangxi's [-]nd year is coming soon.

On March [-]th, Kangxi returned to the palace from Changchun Garden.

From Changchun Garden to Xizhimen, there are lanterns and festoons along the way, and sheds and golden halls of various colors are built. On the stage, gongs and drums proclaim the sky on the stage, and auspicious dramas of birthday celebrations are performed.Along the way, hundreds of officials lined up in teams to kowtow to the emperor's car to celebrate his birthday.The accompanying eunuchs happily distributed birthday peaches and birthday cakes to the officials kneeling on the ground.

After Kangxi returned to the palace from Changchun Garden, the banquet began.Before the banquet, Kangxi personally watched the birthday gifts of the ministers.Then the princes presented gifts to the emperor one by one on the spot.

In the future, the king of Zhijun will have his children present gifts on his behalf, but they will be left at the end if they are a generation younger.

The crown prince presented the gift first. It is an ivory-carved dragon boat for celebrating the birthday of immortals. It is divided into upper, middle and lower layers. The carving is fine and the workmanship is very delicate.

King Chengjun just happened to have "Kangxi Dictionary" written, so he presented it as a birthday gift.

What Sibeile presented was a blue and white porcelain vase for longevity. The entire body of the vase was filled with 1 seal script characters of "Shou" in different shapes with blue and white glaze, implying "longevity without boundaries".

The other princes also sent Ruyi, screens, treasure tripods, scriptures, bonsai, calligraphy and paintings, etc. Although the items were different, they were all exquisitely made and valuable.

However, the final birthday gifts presented by Hongyang and Hongsheng turned out to be the real finale—the congratulatory gift presented by King Zhijun was a pair of double-sided embroidery, the reverse side had the four characters "Longevity without Boundaries", and the front side was "Great Qing Kun Tutu". More importantly, this is the first time that the Australian mainland and the American Chinese colonies have been included in the Chinese territory.

And that night, the Crown Princess gave birth to the Crown Prince's third son, and at the same time, the news that Dafu Jin gave birth to the second daughter of the Zhijun King's son also spread into the capital, which can be described as three blessings.

As usual, Kangxi's big birthday lasted for three days. Unexpectedly, on the third night, something happened again-Si Baylor was assassinated, and his life and death were unknown.

Four Baylor House.

Yin Zhen's wound has been treated properly.Because of Yinhu's pressure, the old doctor could only tell the truth, because the incision was too close to the heart, and the blood loss was too much, the situation was a little dangerous, and whether it could be cured depended on whether he could survive tonight.Of course, because of the timely treatment, the living area is still quite large.

Yinhu stood by Yinzhen's side, shaking Yinzhen's hand.

Seeing this situation, the old doctor could only sigh and asked the housekeeper to send someone into the palace to explain the situation. Of course, in order to avoid responsibility, he did not report the second half of what he said to Yinhu.

Although the assassin Yinhu wanted to return the thousand dollars to the other party, but at this time, he was still very grateful that he watched the other party leave after Yinzhen sent him home this time, and he was also very grateful that he was able to send the fourth brother to the mansion for treatment in time. There is an imperial doctor stationed in the other party's house, who can give the fourth brother the best treatment as soon as possible - as for the assassin, he has no time to worry about it. Now he only hopes that the fourth brother will wake up quickly.

When he watched the knife stabbing Yinzhen's chest, the momentary dazed dizziness made him realize that this person is something he must never lose.

So looking at Yinzhen's face as pale as paper, Yinhu clenched his palms tightly and whispered to Yinzhen's ear: "Fourth brother, if you survive this time and what you said, my brother will agree to try with you, okay?" ?”

In Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Hui listened to the report of the little eunuch at her feet, with a gloomy expression.

After the little eunuch finished speaking, he retreated quietly, while Concubine Hui frowned, not knowing what to think.It took a while before someone was called: "Jin Ping, send someone to the Tai Hospital to invite Doctor Wang to come."

Someone outside the door responded in a low voice, and after the sound of clothes rubbing, Duan Yue and Jinping brought people in to serve.

Concubine Hui closed her eyes and relaxed her body, quietly waiting for the imperial doctor to arrive.

The imperial physician arrived soon, and Concubine Hui asked the other party to look at her first, and then waited for the other party to talk about her physical condition.

Then he ordered Jinping again: "Bring the things."

After the item was brought, it turned out to be a bottle of tribute wine. Concubine Hui asked Jinping to pass the item to Imperial Physician Wang, pretending to be careless and said: "It is a waste to put this item here in this palace. I heard that the adults like it, so I will take it back—— It's okay to drink some wine on weekdays, just don't delay the business."

This doctor Wang is also a drunkard, but he is not allowed to drink alcohol when he is on duty. This wine is a good wine. At this moment, his eyes are almost straightened when he smells the wine, and he knelt down: "Thank you for your kindness."

Concubine Hui signaled Duanyue to help him up: "My body depends entirely on my lord, so this little wine is nothing. But my lord should pay attention to it. Recently, I smell of alcohol, but it's not good."

Imperial Physician Wang hurriedly knelt down and explained: "Madam Meng thinks highly of me, and often asks me to see a doctor. I have always been respectful and careful, so I dare not drink too much alcohol. As for the taste of this wine, let me tell you, it is caused by the recent medicine made by the Imperial Hospital."

"The hospital has always made medicinal wine, why did your lord not smell of alcohol in the past?"

"This is because the Imperial Hospital has recently increased the production of medicinal wine..." Wang Taiyi suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something that should not be said, so he quickly stopped talking, "I must pay attention to it in the future."

Concubine Hui saw that the other party was alerted, so she stopped talking and waved her back.

"master……"

Seeing the solemn atmosphere, Concubine Hui frowned again, and Duan Yue called out worriedly.

"That little palace lady... the one named Ah Ying, is it reliable?"

"Returning to the master, Aying is the neighbor of the servant's family. A few years ago, the servant's mother gave them ten catties of life-saving rice grains. From the servant's cold eyes, this Aying is also a repayer, so he should be reliable."

"Then let her be transferred in to serve her closely—by the way, let the people at the Palace of Compassion and Ning's care carefully omit a few words about the current situation of Lord Long Live to the Empress Dowager."

"Yes."

After finishing all the orders, Concubine Hui fell into deep thought again.Right now he has two things on his mind.

One is about Kangxi's body.The little maid named Ah Ying in his palace had been in close contact with Kangxi before, and this little maid had a unique skill that she had a particularly good nose. Once, she happened to be overheard by Concubine Hui when she was joking with her companion:

"The scent and the smell of wine on Long Live's body are really getting stronger——"

"You hoof, just smell the smell on the man, and you still have the face to say——by the way, what is the smell on the man's body?"

"You still have the face to criticize me! But the fragrance on Long Live Lord's body is quite strange, such as styrax, benzoin, diptero, musk, Cyperus, clove, woody, agarwood, sandalwood, incense and so on. Yes, um, recently I seem to smell medicine like Pipera and Atractylodes macrocephala..."

"Tsk, there are so many smells on Long Live Lord! But Ah Ying, you are so powerful, you can smell it all."

"Hey, didn't I work in Tai Hospital for two years before, and it's not difficult to identify these spices..."

And those things that the little maid said, paired with fine wine, Concubine Hui had seen it in medical books in her spare time, and it was the material for making Suhexiang wine—as for why he remembered it, it was because in his young memory, he His great-grandfather seemed to want to drink medicinal wine every day. Looking at his curious eyes, his great-grandfather dipped his chopsticks in his mouth and tasted it. The taste was pungent, but he had a strange and beautiful name——Su Hexiang.So he memorized it inexplicably. When he got here, he saw this and subconsciously remembered its complex formula and the effect of treating heart palpitations.And what the little maid meant was that Kangxi had already started taking Suhexiang wine, but now the dosage was increased.In other words, Kangxi had long suffered from heart palpitations, but now it got worse.If this is the case, Kangxi is most taboo at this time of excessive emotional ups and downs and overwork.

The second is the assassination of Yinzhen.

Yinzhen was stabbed twice, one in his arm and the other in his chest. It is said that he almost stabbed his heart. That is the real powerlessness.However, this kind of thing will happen, and it is also a moment of negligence.

Kangxi's birthday seems to be full of jubilation and excitement, but in fact it is really exhausting. First of all, I have to get up early and go to bed late, and then I can't eat a few bites when I attend the banquet. I can only take some time to eat snacks. Kneel and kowtow with one command, and after the three-day Longevity Festival is over, everyone will feel relieved unconsciously.Just when he was relieved, Yinzhen was stabbed by an assassin hiding among the common people.

The assassin was naturally arrested by soldiers patrolling the city.

It was only after interrogation that the assassin was from Zhili.Two years ago, the former governor of Zhili wrongly sentenced his father to death because of corruption and breaking the law. Last year, when the crown prince passed through Zhili, he sent people to find out the truth and escorted the governor of Zhili back to the capital to await the emperor's punishment.It's just that Kangxi wanted to achieve the name of "benevolence", so the governor was dismissed lightly-only demoted to Jiangnan as a small county magistrate.And the governor passed through Zhili on his way to the south of the Yangtze River to take up his post, and even bought local gangsters to set fire in the middle of the night, burning the whole family almost completely, and only the assassin escaped because he was not at home.Before coming to Beijing, the assassin traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, killed the corrupt official, and then came to the capital again, wanting to take advantage of the chaos of Kangxi's birthday - in his opinion, if the emperor hadn't let the corrupt official go, His family didn't have to die.As a result, Kangxi was protected too tightly, and in the end he only stabbed such a careless elder brother.

If you want Concubine Hui to say, Kangxi really has to bear three points of responsibility for this matter-you have achieved your own "benevolent" sage, but the price is that one of your sons was stabbed twice, and the other son became a red face and all kinds of hatred.I don't know how Kangxi would react when he knew that his kindness had brought about this series of chain effects.

When Kangxi heard this, he was naturally furious - not only because his son was injured and his life was uncertain, but also because he planted this hidden danger for his son, and because his birthday was disturbed.

In a fit of anger, the heart palpitations recurred—he passed out for the past two days, so he didn't bring the unlucky medicine with him, and passed out.

Hearing that the emperor had fainted, the empress dowager rushed to Qianqing Palace immediately.Hearing the words "extremely angry" from the imperial physicians who saw the doctor, I suddenly thought of some words I just heard in the Compassion Ning Palace, and immediately became angry, pointing at the imperial physicians and shouting: "It's only March, the emperor How many times have you fainted?! You still dare to play sloppy with the Ai family, what is the emperor's illness, if you don't explain it to the Ai family today, no one will come up with this Qianqing Palace today!"
