Chapter 898 What Did She Say?
Fourth Master glanced down at Chen Biao, as if he had thought of something else, "By the way, send more people to Ninggu Pagoda, and bring Shisan and his Fujin back to the capital, hurry up!"
"Hey."
In the middle of May, the Fourteenth Master finally lived up to the brotherhood that the Fourth Master had towards him, and returned to the capital with only ten guards.
Although if he returns to the capital with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the fourth master's throne may not be secure.
But he still didn't do it.
On the one hand, he considered that fourth master did not kill him.
He also cared more or less about the love between brothers.
After all, it was the brothers who came.
On the other hand, he had to.
The Fourteenth Master is reckless in nature, but he is both civil and military, and has his own way of leading troops to fight.
He also has a unique perspective on politics.
First of all, he knew that he had hundreds of thousands of soldiers with him, and all food, grass and military salaries needed to be supported by the capital and the local area.
But the food and military pay are in the hands of Nian Gengyao and Li Wei.
Once the military supplies are cut off, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are like fish on a chopping board.
What's more, the fourth master inherits the throne, there is a will, and it is justified.
If he brought soldiers back to Beijing, he would be rebelling and making trouble, and his reputation would be unfair.
There is no popular support.
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 lead to disaster.
Moreover, since the later period of Kangxi's reign, the Qing Dynasty has been a peaceful and prosperous age for Kangxi.
Both soldiers and civilians yearn for peace.
If you rashly launch a coup d'etat or start a war in the interior, without the support of the people, you will be a lone army.
What's more, Nian Gengyao was also the governor of Chuanxia.
In the absence of military rations, breaking through Nian Gengyao's barrier is a big problem.
Not to mention the defense forces in the capital, Fei Yanggu held the important post of Admiral of the Nine Gates.
At that time, even if hundreds of thousands of troops are approaching the city, it will still be too difficult to break through the capital.
In this way, it would be a long way to go back to Beijing from the border.
One has no food and grass, and the other has to go all the way through the barriers, which is tantamount to a tired soldier.
Not only that, but there is also a thirteenth master who is comparable to his army.
The thirteenth master has always been on good terms with the fourth master, and he is bold, known for his chivalry, and is known as the "King of Heroes".
If he really mutinied, he would have to weigh the weight of the thirteenth master.
So, all of the above, even the concubine De, the eighth master, the ninth master, and those rumors that he is the successor.
But without definite evidence and will, he would not act recklessly.
And he is a very filial person.
In his heart, filial piety is very important.
Now that Kangxi has passed away, for Lord Fourteen, the most important thing is to return to Beijing to guard the spirit.
There is nothing more important than this.
This is also a major reason why he is willing to hand over the military power to the fourth master.
Now, he is a general king without military power.
No longer a biting tiger, but an empty prince.
However, because of all the misunderstandings in the past, as well as the misunderstandings created by Concubine De and Eighth and Ninth Masters, Fourteenth Master was still a little unconvinced.
However, after the fourteenth master returned to Beijing, he did not show any dissatisfaction.
Instead, like the other elder brothers, he stood guard 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 for a period of time before entering the imperial mausoleum.
It is said that the emperor was buried on the seventh day and in the seventh month.
Therefore, generally speaking, the morgue takes more than seven days.
But there are also dozens of days.
As for the actual time to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, it will take a little longer.
Although it can be buried in seven months.
However, there are also those who were buried for less than four months, or after two years of suspension.
Because it is necessary to arrange tens of millions of laborers to work day and night to rush to repair the royal road to the mausoleum.
You have to wait until the other side of the mountain is completely ready before you can be buried.
For ordinary families, the mourning period is three years, about twenty-seven months.
It is the first month of the two anniversaries plus the third.
But the fourth master is the son of heaven, and the son of heaven replaces the moon with the sun.
Therefore, his period of mourning was twenty-seven days.
Because it is best for the successor emperor to take charge of the government within three days, sacrifice for Xiaoxiang on thirteen days, sacrifice for Daxiang on fifteen days, and wear mourning on twenty-seven days.
But let alone twenty-seven days.
Even during the twenty-seven days of mourning, besides offering sacrifices, fourth master had already handled many government affairs, large and small.
After all, a country cannot live without a king.
Now that Kangxi's coffin has been moved from the Qianqing Palace to the Funeral Palace, it means that the fourth master's mourning period has expired.
Next, it's time to start handling the matters of enthronement and the canonization of the harem.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has selected a good and auspicious day for you to ascend the throne. It is said to be the eighth day of this month, which is an excellent day." Su Peisheng said.
Fourth Master raised his head and put down the Langhao pen in his hand.
He flipped through the almanac beside him casually.
"Well, then set it on the eighth day of June and let the Ministry of Rites handle it."
"Hey." After Su Peisheng agreed, he winked at He Zhongkang.
It's not his turn to run errands.
Fourth Master put down the almanac in his hand and looked up at the sunny sky outside.
He asked lightly, "How is the Queen Mother recently?"
"If you go back to the emperor, queen mother..." Su Peisheng said, a little embarrassed.
The queen mother never waited to see the emperor.
Now even if Ye became the emperor, instead of feeling proud, she even disliked the emperor even more.
All he needs to say is to criticize the emperor in front of the servants.
Those words, even if he is a eunuch chief executive, he dare not pass them on from generation to generation.
Really, at such an advanced age, it was the first time he saw such a mother.
I really doubt if she is the emperor's own mother.
I'm partial to grandma's house!
The fourth master saw Su Peisheng's expressionless expression, hesitant to speak, and his thick eyebrows frowned imperceptibly, "What did she say?"
When asked this question, how could Su Peisheng dare to answer.
He knelt down tremblingly, and said: "Your Majesty, you should go to the Yonghe Palace by yourself and take a look, then you will understand everything. For the rest, even if you give me ten thousand courage, I will not dare to say anything."
The queen mother is the emperor's own mother.
She dared to say that the emperor killed his father, tampered with the will, and usurped his brother's throne.
But his slave, ten thousand dare not.
Fourth Master glanced at Su Peisheng deeply, and probably guessed something.
Then she got up with her hands behind her back and said: "Forget it, I'm enthroned anyway, she will be there and be the only one who accepts my salute. I will go to Yonghe Palace to have a look and tell her the day of enthronement."
Even if he knew what kind of faces he would see and what kind of nails he would encounter when he went there, it still didn't matter if he went there.
For this kind of man, even big things can't overwhelm him.
It will only make him more and more frustrated.
