Chapter 230: The Beginning of a New Round of Confrontation
It has been used and perfected in Geng's Mansion, and although Hongtian is young, the child who was born in the emperor's family has a natural momentum, and after studying with the people of the Internal Affairs Office for half a day, he can deal with the guests who came to mourn in a decent manner, and his heart is really comforted.

It's not early, and even if you don't want to, you have to rush back before the palace gate is locked. Before leaving, he gave incense to Geng's father and mother, secretly hoping that they could bless themselves in the spirit of heaven to find the black hand behind the scenes to avenge them, and then resolutely got up and got into the carriage without looking back, and returned to the deep palace surging under the golden splendor with a full heart.
"If the master feels uncomfortable, he will cry, and now he is not in the palace, if he wants to cry, he can cry, and when he enters the palace, he can't cry. Dongmei saw that my face was gloomy and silent in the car, thinking that my family had changed, and felt that I was uncomfortable and forced to endure sadness, so she persuaded me.
I glanced at Dongmei and asked lightly, "Why am I crying?"
Dongmei opened her mouth, feeling the sudden cold atmosphere in the car, and didn't dare to say anything more.
I snorted softly, hooked my lips slightly, and continued with a cold smile: "Tears are a sign of weakness, and only the weak will cry when they encounter misfortune. I've cried when I should have cried before, and now I don't cry anymore, what I want to do is smile and look at the people who hurt me and my family crying. Do they think this can make me panic and uneasy? Then they are afraid that they will miscalculate, you must know that in the past I had scruples because I still have family outside the palace, I need to consider their safety, so I have to think twice about many things, now I don't need to, Hongyang is the prince, I don't need to worry. I only have myself now, and without restraint, what am I afraid of? If you are afraid, I will beg Concubine Xi to let you go to her to serve after I go back. ”
Dongmei shook her head vigorously, and said eagerly with a crying voice: "The slave is not afraid, the master should not drive the slave away, just now the slave was too talkative, and the slave is just worried that the master will suffocate his body if he endures the discomfort." ”
I didn't know that Dongmei's words were not malicious, but she was angry, and her words were naturally murderous. This kind of emotion can't be brought into the palace, no matter what is happening in the palace and outside the palace now, because there is no evidence, he can't mention it to Yinzhen, and he doesn't have so much time and energy to meddle in these things.
When you can rely on yourself, it's better not to ask for people easily, this kind of thing is to use one point to reduce one point, and squander it at will, and when you really need it, once you can't use it, you can only wait for death.
I eased my mind, softened my tone and said to Dongmei: "Fang is in a bad mood just now, and my tone is a little heavier." However, you have been with me for so many years, and you will reach the age of leaving the palace in four or five years, and I hope that the people around me can have a good home, so I also plan to ask the emperor for a marriage for you, so as not to be difficult to rely on after leaving the palace at the age of twenty-five. ”
Dongmei saw that my expression and tone softened, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although I don't trust her for so many years, she still knows my habits and temper relatively well every day, and knows that I am not the kind of master who will punish people casually, so as long as it doesn't violate my bottom line, I usually don't embarrass them.
"The kindness of the master, the slave should not refuse. But the slave also understands in his heart that there are not many people around the master who really know the roots, although the slave is useless, but after all, he has followed the master into the palace from the hidden mansion, even if the slave can't share the worries of the master like Shun's father-in-law and Xiaoduozi, at least it won't cause chaos for the master. The master will let the servants serve for a few more years," Dongmei lowered her head and rubbed the handkerchief in her hand, and said.
I just smiled at Dongmei's words, didn't answer again, closed my eyes and seemed to plan to take a nap. Seeing this, Dongmei stopped making a sound. The car fell silent, listening to the squeak of the axles, I sneered secretly, the person who has the heart to go to the mansion must know the roots? That person seems to have been laying out the mansion since the time of the submersion, so he should be extremely familiar with me. Suddenly I feel that there is really no one around me who can be fully trusted, including Dongmei, but she is right - compared to the person who is hidden in the dark, the person who is on the surface is easier to control, and without knowing whether Dongmei is really credible, putting her by her side will not cause me trouble.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when he entered the palace from Shenwu Gate, the carriage was replaced by a soft sedan chair. When he got on the sedan chair, he asked Xu Fuduo whether Yinzhen was in the Heart Cultivation Hall or the South Study at this hour. Xu Fuduo thought about it and replied that he should still be in charge of the Qianqing Palace. I said "um" and fell silent.
By the time we arrived at Jingren Palace from Shenwu Gate, it was already dark. The Forbidden City in the winter twilight is dark and gloomy, not at all the grandeur of the sunny day, but has a kind of depressing and suffocating heaviness. Returned to Jingren Palace to bathe in incense, went to the so-called bad luck, changed into a plain but not too taboo palace clothes, and put a white bead flower in the inconspicuous place of the flag head, and asked Xu Fuduo to carry the food box prepared in the small kitchen, and then take the soft sedan chair out of Jingren Palace to the Palace of Nourishing Heart.
Jingren Palace is not far from Qianqing Palace, through a gate to the Qianqing Palace's Rijing Gate, get off the sedan chair here, walk to the main gate of the Qianqing Palace, and see Su Peisheng waiting at the door, it seems that there should be other people in the Qianqing Palace.
Su Peisheng had already seen me coming from a distance, and when I arrived at the door, he stepped forward and said: "It's unfortunate that Concubine Yu Niangniang came, the emperor is discussing with Lord Zhang and Lord Tian, it's not a matter of a moment, I'm afraid that Niangniang will have to wait." ”
I bowed slightly to Su Peisheng, and said with a light smile: "There is a mention from Lao Su's father-in-law, this is mainly to thank you, and it is okay to wait, but these porridges are not very good when they are cold, I am afraid that I will have to bother to send someone to take it hot, and if the emperor is hungry later, I can use it." ”
Su Peisheng glanced at the food box sent by Xu Fuduo in response, and praised with a smile in his eyebrows: "It's still Concubine Yu's thoughtfulness, the emperor is not in a very comfortable mood today because of the affairs of the mother's family, and there is not much for dinner, so he should be hungry later." ”
As he spoke, Su Peisheng beckoned a palace person to take the food box, and when the palace person retreated, he looked at my look and makeup, nodded and lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "It's really rare for my mother's family to be able to think carefully when things change." If this lady comes over, if there is a little bad complexion or a taboo in clothing, the slaves will not dare to let the mother go to see the emperor. ”
"Oh, it seems that the emperor is in a very bad mood today, but I'm afraid it's not just because of the changes in the Geng family. I heard the hint in Su Peisheng's words, and said along with the words.
Su Peisheng glanced at the closed door of the palace, nodded and said: "Recently, Fujian, Shanxi and other places have not been peaceful, there have been civil uprisings, plus some foreign missionaries are very rampant in various places to bewitch and incite, and some foreign missionaries even interfere in the internal struggle of the royal family, and privately support the eight masters and nine masters, the emperor is very angry. Early this morning, the governor of Zhejiang, Fujian, Jueluo Manbao, renewed his proposal to ban the missionaries, saying that the Westerners were practicing in the provinces, and that the people's hearts were gradually being stirred, and that the people should be sent to Peking if they were proficient in their skills and willing to serve the imperial court, and that the rest should be found out and sent to Macao. The emperor felt that this proposal was feasible, so after dinner, he urgently summoned the two adults to discuss the matter until now. ”
In the first year of the Yongzheng Dynasty, I had never deliberately paid attention to the information before, and I did not have a very clear memory, but I did pay attention to the expulsion of missionaries in China. I vaguely remember that it was not long before the Ministry of Rites studied the suggestion of Kyaw Lo Manbao, and believed that in addition to expelling the missionaries to Macao, the Catholic churches in the provinces should be converted into public offices, and those who strayed into their religion should be strictly forbidden. Yinzhen approved this suggestion and asked the missionaries to be given six months to gather in Macao. After the order was issued, progress varied from place to place, and there were also those who were slow to act. However, the expulsion of the missionaries was a big blow to Catholicism, and most of the churches in the provinces were demolished, and the courtyards of their houses were either converted into warehouses or academies. Some of the prefectural churches in Suncheonfu were converted into government offices, and the North Hall in Kyoto was also converted into a hospital.
In my opinion, this expulsion of the missionaries was a prelude to the political repression of Yinyu and Yinyu and others.
