CHAPTER XXXIV
All the ministers originally thought that the master would not come to the court today, but they didn't expect that the master would come today. Although the master's face was gloomy and haggard, he still handled the political affairs of the court normally.
After the next dynasty, Sony was left alone. Sonny originally thought that the master would not come to the court today, and he could escape because of this, but he didn't expect that at the moment when Concubine Dong E was dying, their master would go to the court on time; And now, just when he thought that the master would be angry and ask the reason for his condition to improve overnight, the master kept staring at him in a daze after announcing him, and didn't ask anything.
Sony can't understand, he has been up and down in officialdom for decades, although he has gone through several twists and turns, but he still achieved his current position, no matter how he says, he can't guess the master's heart, but God just loves to joke with him so much, for today's things, he really can't understand the master's mind.
However, although Sonny didn't understand the master's thoughts, it was right that the master was in a bad mood today, and this time it was about the glory of their Hesheri family, and he must not take a wrong step.
Emperor Shunzhi just sat on his golden dragon chair, looking at Sonny kneeling below, without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
When he heard the news of the poisoning of his concubine, he was indeed very angry, obviously they were still looking forward to their future a few days ago, and in less than a stick of incense, someone came to tell him that he and his most beloved were about to be separated forever, which made him so unbearable.
He originally wanted to punish these quacks severely, but his emperor's Enie, the noble queen mother of the Qing Dynasty, stopped him from doing so. Royal rules, royal rules, these rules are so strict, I am the son of heaven in the Qing Dynasty, and I am the most noble person in the world, why should I be bound by this rule!
Different people have different ideas, and of course they get unhappy. He had a fierce quarrel with Huang Erni, and finally walked away.
Different people say the same thing, but the results are diametrically opposed. When I went to visit my concubine, she was still so beautiful, but her face was slightly pale. When I saw me coming, I didn't show any sorrow, and there was only love and regret in my eyes when I looked at him.
Concubine Ai deserves to be the most understanding, she not only comforted the sorrow in my heart, but also comforted that they were destined to be destined in this life, so he didn't have to mind.
If they hadn't stopped me from letting me come to see Aifei, Aifei's poison would not have penetrated into the internal organs all of a sudden.
Looking at the eyes of the concubine looking at him, he couldn't help but think of the queen mother who ignored the pain in his heart and made him put state affairs first, and Emperor Shunzhi couldn't help but feel a little resentful of Huang Ernie, Huang Ernie only knew that for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and for the sake of Horqin, did she consider his feelings.
Today, he didn't want to go to court, he wanted to let someone bring the fold over, so he corrected the fold here with Concubine Ai, and fortunately accompanied Concubine Ai more at this last moment, but he didn't expect Concubine Ai to be so understanding, and actually persuaded him to focus on the overall situation, Concubine Ai, she has always supported me, how can I let go of the person who assassinated her!
Emperor Shunzhi looked at Sony's greatly improved face, and sighed in his heart, the old ginseng presented by Sony has been seen by the people he called Tai Hospital, and it is indeed a good thing, but Sony would not have expected that my concubine could not use this kind of nourishing thing, the more you use this nourishing thing, the faster the poison on your concubine's body will invade! If he catches someone who dares to poison his concubine, I will let him see what the real imperial wrath is.
Although Sony, the old horseman, dared to take advantage of Concubine Ai's critical illness to suppress the Niu Colu clan, he was really presumptuous enough. He doesn't have a bad impression of the Niu Co Lu family, their family has always guarded these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains for me, and they are also meritorious ministers, and Niu Co Lu Mansion seems to be the newly acquired righteous daughter. Kindness...... For the sake of Sony, the old horseman, who sent a good thing, I will not pursue this matter, but the punishment will still be punished, what if the Hesheri Mansion becomes arrogant because of this?
Seeing that Sonny was kneeling with six gods and no owner, Emperor Shunzhi casually talked to the old man for a few words, and let him retreat first.
Hum! Now I am worried about the condition of my concubine, but I didn't expect that someone would dare to use my concubine as a shield, and dare to use me as a gun, I will let people know that if this gun is not used well, it will hurt me.
In the first meeting between Garus and Fang Yi, Garu took the lead by a slight margin.
On August 19, the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, the imperial concubine Dong E, the emperor of Shunzhi, was in mourning and dropped out of the dynasty for five days.
On August 21, the Ministry of Blessings and Rites: "The Imperial Concubine Dong Eshi passed away on August 19, in accordance with the decree of the Queen Mother: 'The Imperial Concubine has been in charge of internal affairs for many years, and the virtue is known, and the palace is styled. The death of Erxue is deeply mourned, and it is advisable to posthumously be crowned as the queen to show respect. 'I admire the oracle of mercy, specially use the posthumous seal, plus the nickname, and say 'filial piety and dedication to the queen of Xuanren Wen Hui Duanjing'. It should be carried out in a ceremony, and the Ministry will carefully inspect and quickly discuss the performance. ”
Emperor Shunzhi ordered the prince to go down to the four officials, princesses and women gathered to cry, and those who did not mourn were dealt with, but fortunately, the queen mother "tried to solve it". Shunzhi wanted to give 30 eunuchs and palace maids to death, "lest the imperial concubine lack servants in other worlds", but was dissuaded.
On August 27, the seventeenth year of Shunzhi (1660), Concubine Dong E's Zigong was moved from the imperial palace to the Jingshan Guande Hall for temporary peace, and the people who carried the Zigong were the ministers of the second and third grades of the Manchurian Eight Banners. This is unique in the Qing generation, not only in the funeral of the imperial concubine, but also in the funeral of the emperor and queen.
The funeral of Empress Dong E of filial piety broke many precedents before and after, but no one dared to dissuade Emperor Shunzhi.
And the queen mother has clashed with Emperor Shunzhi many times in the matter of filial piety to the queen, and the relationship between mother and son has become more and more shallow.
In late September, more than a month has passed since the death of Empress Xiaoxian, in the Qianqing Palace, in the dead of night, Emperor Shunzhi drove the people around him outside, and no one in the palace was left.
Perhaps Empress Xiaoxian's plan was carried out too smoothly, and Emperor Shunzhi was far more saddened by her death than she imagined. At this time, Emperor Shunzhi was sitting alone in the empty hall symbolizing power, staring at the portrait of Empress Xiaoxian.
Suddenly, a person dressed in black and covering his face suddenly appeared next to Emperor Shunzhi.
And Emperor Shunzhi didn't seem to be surprised at all by the appearance of this man in black, still staring at the portrait of Empress Xiaoxian, as if muttering to himself, "Have you found out who it is?" ”
The man in black seemed to be very embarrassed, lowered his head and was silent for a while, and silently presented the evidence he had worked so hard to collect in front of Emperor Shunzhi.
Emperor Shunzhi silently opened the booklet, his face became more and more ugly with the deepening of the content, and at the end, Emperor Shunzhi was furious and slapped the booklet on the dragon case, and the echo was extraordinarily long in this empty hall. Emperor Shunzhi's face was full of anger, and he called loudly to the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting outside.
"Prepare a sedan chair, I want to go to Cining Palace."
Wu Liangfu, the chief eunuch, has been by his master's side since he was a child, and with his understanding of his master, can he not know that his master is now in the stage of rage! These days, the master and the queen mother have had a lot of unhappiness because of the matter of filial piety to the queen, and there is not much left of the mother-son relationship. He is going to persuade his master no matter what.
Kneeling at the feet of his master, Wu Liangfu really spoke with his conscience this time, "Master, it is already late at night, and the sky has been gloomy today, and the wind is blowing strongly, and the slave estimates that it will rain heavily soon." You can't sleep every day these days for the sake of filial piety to the queen, you are already weak and tight, what if you go out and get sick. O master! If Empress Xiaoxian sees the master and your body and bones so much, I'm afraid the queen will not feel at ease when she goes! ”
It's good that this dog slave doesn't mention the queen of filial piety, as soon as the queen of filial piety is mentioned, Emperor Shunzhi's eyes don't feel that the things recorded in the book appear, and Emperor Shunzhi's already high anger is like being burned more violently like adding firewood, and Emperor Shunzhi himself is distressed.
Emperor Shunzhi simply ignored this dog minion, kicked Wu Liangfu's body, waved off the palace maids' move to put on his cloak, and strode towards the direction of Cining Palace.
Wu Liangfu has never been so seriously injured since he served in close quarters by the master's side, and Emperor Shunzhi's kick was an angry kick, and its power can be seen. Wu Liangfu lay on the tiles in the hall and couldn't breathe. After he recovered, the Shunzhi Emperor had already sat on his arrogant and was about to go to Cining Palace, Wu Liangfu was anxious when he saw it, and he didn't care that he was still in pain, so he hurriedly trotted to chase after him.
The autumn season is often an autumn rain and a cold, on the way to Cining Palace, as Wu Liangfu said, it rained sparsely, Wu Liangfu looked at the rain, and then looked at the coldness on his master's face, somehow felt that the cold in his chest was gradually swallowed up, and he fell into the ice gully.
Due to the anger of Emperor Shunzhi, the sedan chair traveled unusually fast, and it arrived at Cining Palace after a while.
Cining Palace has long been locked, Emperor Shunzhi asked someone to open the palace door, when he arrived at the main hall, Emperor Shunzhi left the accompanying minions outside the hall, and went in alone, even Wu Liangfu, who had always been close to Emperor Shunzhi, was left outside the palace this time. Wu Liangfu's uneasiness in his heart became bigger and bigger, although he didn't know why the master was so angry, but after all, he had been with the master for so long, and in his cognition, I am afraid that only the deceased Queen Xiaoxian could have such a deep influence on the master. But everything about the filial piety queen ended badly in the end, not to mention that the master's anger was so great this time.
After a while, the people who were waiting in the Cining Palace were also driven out, even Su Mala was no exception.
The rain gradually fell heavier, and the sky still thundered from time to time, splitting a few lightnings, and with the sound of the gradually loud quarrel in the Cining Palace, mixed with the sound of porcelain being smashed, it was particularly infiltrating in this dark night.
