I am Yinzhen Fujin

Chapter 451-460

Chapter 451 Kangxi is critically ill

After Kangxi was conferred the title of Virtuous Concubine, his attitude towards the fourth elder brother changed. He often explained to the fourth elder brother the way of being a king or called Honghui and others to come to him and comment on the errands they were doing, which moved the fourth elder brother and the children so much. Every time I came to Kangxi, I would listen carefully and not want to miss a word.

On March 4th, the Manchu and Han ministers and clan members finally studied the title, which was exactly the twenty words "Holy God, Wen Wu, Qin Ming, Ruizhe, Great Filial Piety, Hongren, Ti Yuan, Longevity and the Holy Emperor". However, Kangxi refused.

Kangxi said to his son and courtiers that day: "The honorific titles I have always given are just the literal translation of the word up and down. This is a bad habit that has been carried out through the ages, specifically to deceive the unlearned and unskilled emperors into thinking that it is an honorific title, but in fact there is nothing noble about it. Nowadays, troops are deployed in the western region of the country. The officers and soldiers are equipped with strong weapons and brave the heat and cold. They have worked hard for a long time, and the people have traveled long distances with heavy loads and are very tired. In addition, many places have been affected by disasters, and the people have been even more affected by this situation. , as long as the province is built and managed to benefit the people, what is there to celebrate? Some humble and shameless people think that holding the celebration must be a special favor and want to gain something; some even think that the sixty-year celebration must implement a lenient policy and take advantage of the opportunity to deliberately Murder is illegal. It shows that there is no benefit in celebrating.”

As a result, Kangxi was really "straightforward". Not long after he said these words, Zhu Yigui's uprising broke out in Taiwan. Although it was quickly suppressed by the troops led by the Thirteenth Prince, it still had a huge impact. Who wants to be the emperor himself? What uprising occurred during that time?

If there is an uprising, will natural disasters be far behind? Since the beginning of spring, Xingning, Quanzhou, Anzhou, Lin'an, Dengzhou, Xi'an, Yan'an, and Fengxiang have suffered from drought; Huairou has had no rain from spring to May, with no wheat harvest; Heqing has suffered from drought in spring and autumn; Qingyuan Prefecture has experienced drought Drought, there is no rain from the first month to July, and the fields will dry up; Tonglu will not rain from May to July, and the crops will dry up; Hengzhou will not rain from June to September; Changhua, Tongxiang, and Haining will be drought, and the rivers will dry up . In July, there was drought in Xuanping, Shengxian, Ningdu, Huanggang, and Fangxian counties. In August, there was a drought in Xiajin and a hurricane in Chenghai, which was like a fire and destroyed the city walls.

This year, there have been constant natural disasters in various places. Of course, these are things for later.

The people were in dire straits, but the capital city was always peaceful and happy. The whole country celebrated the 60th anniversary of Emperor Kangxi's reign. The people in the capital were also happy every day. All the talk in the teahouse was about some of Kangxi's wise deeds. All the spectators here were talking about how Kangxi had been emperor for 60 years and was unprecedented. Of course, there was no one before. It can also be added. Who said that all descendants of Kangxi could not be emperor longer than he was? For example, Qianlong in history was the emperor for sixty-one years and then became the Supreme Emperor.

The fourth elder brother's mood was not that high. He had gained a lot of love and closeness from Kangxi recently, but he was gradually showing signs of bad things. For example, Kangxi spent more and more time sleeping, and he couldn't wait to teach him the way to be a king. After saying it all at once, he was holding his two children, Honghui and Hongyun, beside him and talking about some of his early deeds. In short, Kangxi had more and more abnormalities, his body became weaker and weaker, and it looked like he was going to be in trouble.
