Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 901 Kangxi’s Funeral (Please subscribe!)



If Zhu Kezang invaded the Qing Dynasty under the guise of revenge for Yin Reng, then they would have absolutely no solution.

What can be predicted is that the Rakshasa Kingdom will most likely not be on their side.

"Huang Ama and the second brother both believed that the eldest brother and the fourth brother would share the world and make the south emperor and the north khan. As sons and brothers, we must not disobey them!!"

The first person to speak was the eighth elder brother Yinti. He was originally from Sophia, but he had a good relationship with the eldest elder brother Yinti. Sophia was in doom in the Qing Dynasty, so he simply joined the eldest brother directly.

He also has his own ambitions, but he comes from a poor background and has few resources.

"Okay! It's good to have Southern Emperor and Northern Khan. This way we can take care of both sides. If my second brother, Sophia and the others were willing to Southern Emperor and Northern Khan, they wouldn't be in this situation today, causing trouble for Xiao Qiang!"

"We must learn a lesson and never cause infighting again."

Thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang is undoubtedly Yinzhen's number one horse boy, and of course he represents Yinzhen now.

"The Southern Emperor and the Northern Khan are great, but is the Qing and Mongolian country still a country?"

Kangxi's teacher and scholar Xiong Cilu frowned and asked, "If the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia are now one of the top three powers in the world, if they are divided into two, will we still have a say in the world in the future?"

In fact, Xiong Cilu, a bachelor, was 68 years old. He had already asked Kangxi to resign and return to his hometown. However, Kangxi said that he was seriously ill and needed his teacher to help control the government. He asked him to work for another three years, and he agreed after three years. Xiong Cilu is looking for a place to retire.

It would even be okay to send him back to Daming for retirement.

The Ming Dynasty allowed these Han officials who had no sins against China to return to their homeland.

Now that Kangxi is dead, he doesn't know whether he can successfully retire.

But before retiring, he should still help the Qing Dynasty. After all, he was Kangxi's teacher and couldn't watch the Qing Dynasty finish.

"Of course a country is still a country," Yinzhen said, "It's just that one emperor and one khan divide and rule one side."

The eldest brother Yinti also said: "The Qing Mongol Empire has its own national conditions. The North and the South are very different, but they cannot be separated. If the North and the South are united, both parties will benefit, and if they are divided, they will both suffer. So we can only have one country and two masters, fighting together. Stronger."

The plan of one country and two masters is not reliable in any way, but it is an indisputable fact that both the north and south of the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia need each other.

The poor and poor lands in the north need Tianzhu's money, while Tianzhu in the south also needs the protection of strong soldiers from the north.

If the two sides separate, the northern force will become weaker and weaker due to poverty.

After all, raising soldiers requires money!

Tianzhu in the south will be colonized because there is no military support from the north.
In the end, both the north and the south were left with nothing, and then they were crushed to pieces by the Ming Dynasty.

But this situation will definitely not last long. After all, the Southern Emperor and the Northern Khan each have a group of people. When they first separated, they knew that they needed each other. Over time, they will think that the other party has taken advantage of them.

"That's how the state affairs are decided for the time being. Our first priority as a filial son should be to take care of Emperor Ama's funeral!"

Five months later, on August 42, the [-]nd year of Kangxi's reign, a group of "people in white" had gathered outside Kabul.

Both sides of the road are covered with white flags and streamers.According to traditional Chinese funeral rites, the emperor's funeral usually involves a 27-day suspension of mourning and then a grand burial.

But it had been five months since Kangxi's death. It was now August, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the ice in the cellar was almost running out, but Kangxi had never been able to be laid to rest.

The reason is naturally not because of the tomb construction. Kangxi's tomb has been repaired long ago.

In the past, Kangxi and his ministers often had disputes over the construction of tombs after they conquered northwest Tianzhu.

At that time, the ministers did not forget their homeland, so they did not advocate building a formal mausoleum. Instead, they wanted to build a "saving palace" first, that is, "save it up" and bury it. Later, after the Central Plains was recovered, they would dig it out, transport it back and bury it again.

Keeping a palace is not a good thing, it is very unlucky.

For example, in 1131 AD, the first year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Empress Dowager Meng, the first wife of Zhezong of the Song Dynasty and the aunt of Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, died of illness in Shaoxing.

The empress dowager had an ill-fated fate, but she escaped the tragic ending of being captured by the Jin people with the two emperors of Huiqin and a large number of concubines and royal family in the north during the "Jingkang Incident". Her status became more and more noble. In the process of the Southern Song Dynasty, he kept his word and was deeply respected by the monarchs and ministers.

Logically, Empress Dowager Meng should return to the Northern Song Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum for burial in Gongyi, Henan today.

But at that time, the Central Plains had changed hands and the imperial tombs were destroyed.

The monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty thought of an expedient plan and determined her death in the form of the Queen Mother's posthumous edict: "Choose a place to hold the funeral, and wait for the military peace, and then bury her in the garden and mausoleum", and the location of "Choose a place to hold the funeral" is in Shaoxing , and later the area of ​​Song Liuling.

Since the small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty was located on the right side of the Yangtze River and had no intention of regaining the lost territory, Empress Dowager Meng's wish to be buried in this mountain mausoleum became a dream, and the temporary residence of the palace became a permanent cemetery for the six emperors following Emperor Gaozong and Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty. It is known as Liuling of Song Dynasty in history.

Kangxi felt that the place where he would be buried in the future would be Chuangong, but since he could never return to the Central Plains, it would become a permanent mausoleum. Isn't this a joke?
Therefore, Kangxi opposed all opinions and ordered to build a formal mausoleum for himself near Kabul, and named his mausoleum Jingling!

And it was also stipulated that the future Mongol Khan of the Qing Dynasty would be buried in Kabul after his death!

This arrangement is of course to show his determination not to return to the Central Plains, but to take root in Central Asia and Tianzhu!
Since Tianzhu had money and labor, Kangxi's Jingling Mausoleum was repaired before he died.

The reason why Kangxi Khan was not buried was that he could not hold a funeral.

Because Sophia refused to attend the funeral.

Now Sophia only wants to keep the child in her belly, so she naturally avoids brothers Yinzhen and Yinzhen.

Queen Mother Sophia originally wanted to go back to Rakshasa directly, but two brothers blocked her way and said they would not let her go back without a funeral!
There was no other way. Sophia did not dare to stay in Kabul. Instead, she led the Cossacks, Guards, and soldiers from the Eight Banners of Tianzhu who were loyal to her, as well as a group of Brahmin officials, and some Sikh Green Battalion soldiers to retreat together. Went to Daman Port on the west coast of Tianzhu.

If you drag it like this, I'm afraid Kangxi won't be able to bury it for the rest of his life!

The eldest elder brother Yinzhen and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen were both "filial sons", and they were not willing to bury their most beloved Huang Ama casually.

The main reason is that if they don’t help Kangxi bury him, it will be difficult for them to ascend the throne!
Today is the day Sophia arrived in Kabul, and Kangxi was finally buried.

This was a "big happy event", so all the bannermen and slaves in Kabul happily wore mourning clothes and went out of the city gate, waiting outside the open road while whispering to each other.

"Is Queen Mother Suo really willing to come? Hasn't she always been afraid of that 'Hongmen Burial'? Why is she suddenly not afraid now?" (End of Chapter)
