Chapter 757 Not a Good Husband

After entering the Palace of Mercy, the fifth princess and the fifth master bowed and then withdrew.

Regardless of the swelling and pain in his feet, Kangxi knelt directly in front of the Empress Dowager's couch.

A pair of callused hands that had been honed on the battlefield held the Queen Mother's hand in their palms.

"Emperor Niang, my son has come to see you."

"Emperor..." The Queen Mother held Kangxi back.

She could hear the voice and feel Kangxi's hand.

However, she could only lie on the silk pillow inlaid with the money python, unable to move.

Even if she wanted to turn her head and take a look at Kangxi, she was unable to do so.

A wrinkled face, sallow and sallow.

Even wearing a warm hat can't cover the white silk on the sideburns.

The lips are dry, the same color as the face.

Seeing that Kangxi's eyes were scarlet, his palms trembled slightly: "Mother, my son is here."

In his eyes, apart from scarlet, there was also a hint of joy.

In the past few days, the queen mother was in a coma and could not speak.

Today, she was able to call out his name and speak to him.

The queen mother noticed Kangxi's trembling hands, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Aijia is not afraid, why are you shaking, even if Aijia is gone, you are still the emperor of our Qing Dynasty..."

"No..." Kangxi shook his head, "It's not that you haven't been sick before, and you will get better this time. Look, you can talk to me now."

"Aijia's illness... Aijia knows it well... this time, I'm afraid it won't work..."

Kangxi held his lips, wanting to say something to comfort him.

But her throat was itchy, but she didn't interrupt the Queen Mother's words.

"The Ai family was not favored when they were young, and they failed to spread their branches and leaves for the royal family, but the Ai family never regretted it." The Queen Mother's voice was weak and weak, and every time she said a word, she took several breaths, "Because... ..The Ai family has a son like you, who is even more filial than his own son, so he has no regrets..."

Kangxi bit his back teeth and said with red eyes, "But I am not a good father."

No matter how iron-blooded and ruthless the emperor was in the past, in front of this aunt, he finally talked about the helplessness deep in his heart.

His voice did not have the majesty of the past, but revealed vicissitudes and old age.

The imperial education system of the Qing Dynasty was strict, and he could not let his sons do nothing and do nothing.

Wouldn't that make the world laugh, and it will be recorded in history.

Therefore, brothers practice Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer.

At that time, the rest and bathing system had not been improved. They only rested five days a year, and only once or twice a day, each time not exceeding a quarter of an hour.

The subjects studied are all advanced Confucianism and textbooks written by our ancestors.

In addition to being proficient in Manchu, Mongolian, and Chinese, you also need to know some Uyghur and Tibetan.

In recent years, several foreign languages ​​have been added and taught by missionaries.

Writing, calligraphy and painting, horseback riding and archery, including swimming should also be learned.

The purpose is to let them become people with all-round development of morality, intelligence and physique.

This is also the reason why the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were very diligent.

Because of the education they received when they were young, let them know that everything is hard to come by.

But... this kind of education will lead to the excellence of all brothers.

Then, here comes the problem.

"Alas..." The queen mother sighed, "Everyone's talent and character are mostly born with in their bones. Sometimes...you can teach them to become talents, but you can't teach them to become talents." Teach them to be human..."

Kangxi: "My son is not a good husband either."

Empress Hesheli of the Yuan Dynasty gave birth to the prince for him, but he was fighting at the border.

At that time, when he first came to power, there were many turmoil at the border, and there were many wars.

He had already lost a son-in-law before, if he lost another son-in-law.

The world will say that if God does not bless him, then the military situation will definitely be unstable.

Therefore, his first queen sacrificed for the sake of the border war situation and the stability of the Qing Dynasty.

And he couldn't even look at her at the end.

The second queen, Niu Gulu, served him for many years and accompanied him through the most difficult days.

But he just became the queen, and he disappeared in the second year, and he didn't enjoy any blessings.

Later, after investigation, it was found that Niu Gulu's health had not been very good.

However, in order not to affect him, she actually kept it secret.

Since then, he has thought that he is not a queen, and he plans not to be a queen.

Until I met Tong Jiashi later, when she was an imperial concubine, she was fair and kind to others, and won a lot of praise from inside and outside the palace.

He also took care of the harem in an orderly manner, and raised several elder brothers.

It's not that she can't give birth, she also gave birth to a little princess before, but it's a pity that she died in less than a month.

At that time, he was not in the palace.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs regarded the child as an ominous thing, and only wrapped the child in a quilt and left the palace to be burned.

As a result, Tong Jiashi became depressed. Even though she finally got pregnant, she encountered dystocia.

This time, as a husband, he finally stayed by this woman's side and saved his lord.

It's a pity that the nine-month-old child is just gone, and he is still an elder brother.

Since then, Tong Jiashi has been unable to afford illness.

For this woman, it has nothing to do with anything else, he has feelings for her.

Even if he is not named queen, he is still like a queen in his heart.

Until Tong Jiashi was really sick, he was overjoyed and named her queen.

Unexpectedly, the next day, she just left.

Throughout the ages, this is probably the only queen who has only been a queen for one day.

In the past, people in the world said...his fate was hard, and he could restrain his father and mother over his wife, but he never believed it.

Moreover, as long as someone said it, he would kill that person.

Gradually, no one dared to make irresponsible remarks.

But at that moment, he himself began to doubt himself.

From then on, he swore secretly in his heart that he would never set up a queen again in this life!

The queen mother heard the frustration in Kangxi's words, and she felt distressed from the bottom of her heart.

"In your whole life, at least you are better than your Huang Kao. Although he has made so many contributions to the Qing Dynasty, in the end, for a woman like Concubine Dong E, he not only shaved his hair, but also made him die."

The queen mother took a few breaths out of breath, and continued: "In the end, he was depressed and unhappy. He was only in his twenties, so he just went away... Before he died, he said that he would never be happy again in his next life." Wishing to be born in the emperor's family. At that time, he only had Concubine Dong E in his heart, and he had already forgotten his responsibility as an emperor, so much so that courtiers and common people abused him."

Kangxi: "..."

"You have to remember, you were born in an emperor's family and you became an emperor, so naturally you can't be like ordinary men. As an emperor, your responsibilities cannot be neglected. You must put the country first in everything, otherwise you will become a foolish emperor!" The queen mother said in a tone. aggravated.

"Yes, Queen Mother."

"Even if you blame your own blood and women, you can't blame the world... You have done this, and you have done it well..."

Kangxi: "..."

"My son Xuanye..."

"Mother, my son is here."

This Xuan Ye called out to Kangxi's heart.
