17. Wear the concubine
After meeting Wu Keshan, the leader of the caravan explained in detail what Meng Guqing had encountered in the palace in the past few years. Wu Keshan's fist on the table was bruised, and he forcibly suppressed his anger and ordered people to arrange the caravan, and as soon as the outsiders left, he got up and kicked over the table!
"Big Yu'er! Good for you! That's how you take care of my daughter? β
Meng Guqing's brother was full of anger, "Eqige, this matter can't be just settled, that stinky boy demoted our Meng Guqing to a side room, and framed Meng Guqing for being incompetent, jealous, and extravagant, he is stiff and doesn't take us seriously!" There is also an aunt, she said that Meng Guqing is not sensible and not suitable for the queen's position, and she is obviously lying to us. β
My younger brother, who was only fifteen years old, also dropped his cup, "I want Horqin to help but bully people behind our backs, I don't agree to support my aunt anymore!" They even want to marry another Korqin girl to be the queen, they want to be beautiful! β
Wu Keshan's eyes were fierce and sharp, his fists were clenched behind his back, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Our pearl of Horqin must not be bullied like this, even if it is my own sister." β
Meng Guqing slowly raised his head and looked at them, with a sincere smile on his face. She knew that her family doted on her the most, and that aunt promised to take good care of her again and again, but watched her being bullied again and again, and she had long wanted to break with them. Now she's finally got a real lease on life.
Meng Guqing explained the shape of the capital to Wu Keshan in detail, and emphasized that Xiaozhuang would never get better after falling ill. Wu Keshan's attitude became more resolute, the capital is too far away from the grassland, although his sister is the queen mother and his nephew is the emperor, but Horqin has not received much benefit at all, such a useless marriage is not needed, but the Abu Nai, who has risen on the grassland in the past two years, is more noteworthy.
There were caravans in the middle, Wu Keshan and Abu Nai met a few times, seeing that Abu Nai's tribe was getting stronger and stronger, Su Xueyun and Bogol saved his daughter, Wu Keshan took the lead in expressing goodwill and forming an alliance with Abu Nai. After all, they live on the steppe, and the benefits of forming an alliance with a powerful tribe are the greatest and visible. In comparison, the beautiful blueprints promised by Xiaozhuang are simply bubble phantoms, not to mention that Xiaozhuang can't take care of things.
Now that the strong are united, it seems that it is not difficult to subdue the other tribes.
Horqin sent someone to Beijing to report that the original queen candidate was sick and could not enter Beijing, and there were no other women of appropriate age in Horqin.
As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar in the court. Horqin is turning his face with Shunzhi! The burning of Yongshou Palace, which was forcibly suppressed by Shunzhi before, was turned over again, and the twists and turns floated like snowflakes on Shunzhi's imperial case, and they asked him to strictly investigate the reason for the water in Yongshou Palace, and be sure to severely punish the people behind it. Their ancestor came in from outside the gate, and he couldn't forget his roots when he said anything, so the princess of the family was burned to death in such an unknown way.
Shunzhi angrily threw all the folds on the imperial case, swept down the pen stand inkstone next to him, his eyes were bloodshot, and his chin also had blue stubble, looking very wolf. He has been out of power for three days, and since Horqin expressed his attitude, the upper court can only see the disapproving expressions of the ministers, as if he is an incompetent and faint king.
Wu Liangfu knelt on the ground cautiously, and persuaded with a sad face: "The emperor should be careful, it is better for the servants to serve the emperor to rest for a while......
"Rest for what? What else do I have to worry about? Look at them, they are aggressive and keep saying that they are good for me! You have obviously checked the matter of Yongshou Palace, and it has nothing to do with the dark cloud bead, why are they holding on to the dark cloud bead? Shunzhi stood up and pointed to the pile of folds on the ground, his face full of anger, "The dark cloud bead is pregnant with a dragon in her belly, they dare to be so rampant, this is forcing me!" It's a rebellion! β
Wu Liangfu's head hung lower, others don't know, can he not know, then Concubine Dong E is not pregnant at all, this is deceiving outsiders! What the emperor said was so reasonable. In fact, he had already decided in his heart that Concubine Dong E did it, but unfortunately he really didn't find evidence this time, and he couldn't help it, thinking about the recent miserable days, he had an ominous premonition, and couldn't help but tentatively say: "If Horqin has to give an explanation...... The servants went to interrogate again, and the guards let them confess the person behind the scenes, for fear that this person would ...... The ministers have to be satisfied. β
Shunzhi was stunned for a moment, and immediately glared at Wu Liangfu fiercely and roared angrily, "You let me wronged Wuyunzhu and pushed her out to die?" All right! They are working against me, and you old dog dare to betray the master? Do you believe that I scratched you alive? β
Wu Liangfu suddenly lay on the ground, trembling with fright, "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare anymore, the emperor is angry, and the emperor is atoning for his sins!" β
Shunzhi rushed up to punch and kick him, still unable to understand his hatred, and smashed everything in the house before he stopped, and scolded: "Get out! Get out of here! β
When there was no one in the house, Shunzhi collapsed on the ground tiredly, panting heavily, with a hideous expression on his face. He has been pushed to the limit, everyone is against him, he is the emperor, and his words are the holy decree! Those old immortals actually dared to unite to force him, was he really afraid of them?
Xiao Zheng's face flashed from Shunzhi's mind, and he shook his head violently, saying that he would not go to Xiaozhuang for help, otherwise what would his persistence all these years be? He doesn't believe that he can't be an emperor without filial piety, he is not an incompetent faint monarch!
Shunzhi lay on the ground and couldn't think of any ideas, and gradually felt that he was the emperor and should be the only one, why did he have to care about the minister's thoughts? What's more, it's just that he died unexpectedly, this is his family matter, and outsiders can't take care of it! Just when his emotions slowly calmed down, there was a sudden noise outside, and he just wanted to order someone to execute the noisy person, when he suddenly heard the words "imperial concubine" and "premature birth", his brows furrowed.
"Wu Liangfuβ"
As soon as Shunzhi shouted, Wu Liangfu was so frightened that he rushed in, and asked with a smile carefully, "What does the emperor command?" β
Shunzhi said angrily: "What's going on outside? β
Wu Liangfu glanced back, kneeled to Shunzhi's side, and whispered: "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Chen who accidentally gave birth prematurely, and she just gave birth to a little prince, and the imperial concubine is ...... She took the little prince away, and she was also born prematurely, and she was still ...... also gave the concubine a stillborn baby. β
Shunzhi got up and kicked Wu Liangfu, and said angrily: "How do you do the chief manager?" At this time, you still let her mess around? β
Wu Liangfu had a bitter face, did he dare to stop it? Besides, when he knew, Dong E's was already clamoring for premature birth, and he couldn't suppress it if he wanted to! He dared to gamble with his head, Chen's premature birth must have been done by Dong E's, it was nothing more than wanting to have a prince by his side, so that the ministers would not dare to deal with her again. Those who make trouble are masters, and those who suffer are slaves!
Shunzhi walked back and forth a few times irritably, and suddenly saw a messy twist and turn on the ground. Thinking of the "contemptuous" gaze of those ministers, he felt a wall in his heart, hmph, what kind of majesty would the emperor have if he compromised this time? Those people wanted him to execute Wuyunzhu, and he still wanted to save her, didn't Korqin give her a shame? Wait for Wuyunzhu to become the queen, and see how Horqin's uncle regrets it!
Shunzhi made a decision, turned around and strode towards the Dark Cloud Bead Palace. Wu Liangfu was shocked, and shouted in his heart, in the past, the master and the minister worked against each other, and the queen mother cleaned up the mess, but now that the queen mother is down, who can take care of things? It's over!
Shunzhi was resolute, and cooperated with Wuyunzhu to make a look of deep love like the sea, from noon to dusk, the baby's cry finally came out of the house, and Wuyunzhu, who was almost killed in "premature birth", also received Shunzhi's infinite pity. When Shunzhi hugged the crying baby, he excitedly ordered on the spot, "This is my first son, I love him very much, and I am now the crown prince!" Imperial Concubine Dong E, after the day of the seal! β
A particularly simple holy decree swept the entire capital overnight.
The little palace maid arranged by Su Xueyun specially "accidentally" said that she leaked her mouth, and Xiaozhuang vomited blood on the spot and fainted! When Su Ma hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to show Xiaozhuang, and then wanted to hold the little palace maid responsible, he found that he couldn't find anyone at all, because no one saw who said it, and he couldn't even match the voice, so he had to stop it, but he knew in his heart that someone was dealing with the queen mother, and he became more and more impatient.
Su Xueyun was a guest at Prince Zheng's house when she knew, and she made an appointment with a few important ministers and family members to contact her feelings, and when she heard Wulan whispering in her ear about the crown prince, she couldn't help laughing. Xiaozhuang fell, Bogol became more and more capable, and everyone's attitude towards Su Xueyun became more and more awe-inspiring. Seeing that she was smiling happily, they all asked.
"What's interesting about the noble concubine? I wonder if you can tell us about it? β
"There must be some happy event for the noble concubine, right?"
"Your concubine Niangniang wants us to listen to it too, and be happy."
Su Xueyun smiled enough and nodded at them, "Isn't it a happy event?" Just now, the emperor decreed that the crown prince was established! I heard that there was going to be an amnesty for the world, and everyone could be happy! β
Everyone gasped and looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes. Crown prince! They don't have to think deeply to guess who the emperor has appointed as the crown prince! That Concubine Dong E can still get this favor when she offends the anger of the public, is the emperor crazy? Is this a complete break with the grassland?
Su Xueyun took a sip of tea with a smile on her face, and continued slowly: "The emperor is happy this time, not only the crown prince, but also the imperial concubine as the queen." She got up and said with a smile, "It's not too early, this palace is going back to worship Changshengtian and talk to the emperor about this great event!" This emperor is out, the first emperor must be happy, and the queen mother has taught well. β
Looking at the back of Su Xueyun leaving, everyone stood up one after another, tasting her last ironic words, and felt vaguely understand something.
