The next day, Concubine Yi read the prince's secret letter, and her heart suddenly became steady. From this, she had an enlightenment, from now on, she must control the eldest brother in her hands and make him obedient and filial.
So, he often told his nanny to bring the eldest brother to play, and coaxed him with a pleasant face. Mother and son are by nature, and the eldest brother is a little afraid of his biological mother on weekdays, just because Concubine Yi is not as loving as the queen, and now that she has changed her past style, the eldest brother is naturally happy to be close to her biological mother.
Whenever their mother and son whisper, the uninteresting little Anzi always likes to interject indiscriminately beside him, the prince is only six years old, but he has some love and hatred, and sometimes he is angry with Yi Guifei, so he vents with An Dehai, Yi Guifei can only let his temperament for a while, and he is helpless.
Cixi knew that in order to be invincible against such a powerful opponent as Su Shun, she had to be stronger and more cunning than her opponent, and Cixi was only twenty-seven years old at the time.
At this time, the eunuch, the head of the worship room, brought the annual silver. Concubine Yi asked, "How many?" The eunuch replied, "Three months, one hundred and fifty taels." ”
"How is it three months?" Concubine Yi was surprised, "Isn't it a case every six months?" ”
The eunuch, the head of the worship room, said: "The new rules of Suzhongtang. Su Zhongtang said that the money and grain in the provinces could not be urged, and the internal affairs government had financial difficulties, so it had to be sent for three months first. ”
Concubine Yi sneered, changed her calm face again, and said, "You take twenty taels!" An Dehai hurriedly took out twenty taels of silver and gave it to him. When the eunuch saw it, he knelt on the ground in fright and did not dare to bear it.
An Dehai said: "This is the master's reward for you, but you must remember the master's kindness in the future." Take it! Then the eunuch showed his loyalty, and at the same time took the money and left.
The palace share is the monthly distribution of silver coins and goods in the palace according to the rank of the concubines. Emperor Xianfeng, who took refuge in Rehe, successively received tribute items from various places, such as venison, yellow sheep, bacon and braised shrimp.
When the reward was distributed, Su Shun, who was in charge of the matter, had the queen's share every time, but he often did not give it to Cixi, who was a noble concubine, and Cixi was the second person in the palace after the queen at that time. For Su Shun's blatant provocation, Cixi endured.
Cixi, while avoiding the sharp edge of Su Shun, often appeared in front of the empress as helpless, just to send a signal to people: I have no ambition, I am only the mother of a six-year-old emperor, so as to win people's sympathy for the weak.
Emperor Xianfeng was ill in Chengde, and while he was bedridden, he had been planning the arrangement of future power. He was worried that after his death, due to the young age of his son, his mother Yi Guifei would interfere in politics. Xianfeng was anxious about this, and usually conspired with Su Shun.
Su Shun took a fancy to the opportunity and persuaded Xianfeng to treat him as Mrs. Gouyi! Mrs. Gou Yi was the favorite concubine of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the mother of Emperor Fu Ling of the Zhao Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Fu Ling, young, strong, very intelligent, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty loved him, and planned to make him the emperor's heir.
However, due to Fuling's young age and his mother's youth and vitality, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was worried that after his death, Lady Gouyi would take power as a son, so it has always been difficult to decide whether to establish Fuling as the emperor's heir.
One day, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty condemned Mrs. Gou Yi for no reason, and Mrs. Gou Yi kowtowed to apologize and could not be forgiven, and Emperor Wu of Han loudly ordered Mrs. Gou Yi to be taken away left and right. Mrs. Gou Yi was puzzled, and turned back with a begging gaze hoping to find the answer in the expression of Emperor Wu of Han.
Emperor Wu of Han said to her firmly: "Hurry up, you can't live!" Subsequently, Mrs. Hook Yi died.
After the incident, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked the left and right: "What does the outside think of my killing of Mrs. Gouyi?" The people on the left and right replied: "People say, why should she kill his mother if she made her son the heir?" ”
Emperor Wu of Han sighed and said, "The mystery of this place is something that you mediocre people can understand. In the past, most of the turmoil in the country was because the Lord was young and the mother was strong! Women are in charge and act arbitrarily, which cannot be forbidden. Haven't you heard of the death of Gaozu and the dictatorship of Empress Lu, which caused harm for a while? As a lesson from the past, I had to first remove the hidden danger of the queen's unauthorized power. ”
After Cui Yugui learned about this, he hurriedly ordered his apprentice Li Lianying to quietly tell An Dehai. After hearing this, Concubine Yi was shocked.
At this time, the summer resort was full of dangers for Cixi, the strong enemy Su Shun controlled the things of the summer resort, she lived in the harem, she had no external power to rely on, and she was facing the sick emperor and personal servants all day long. How can you avoid the calamity of death that will come at any time?
Cixi was well aware that in the Rehe Palace, she fought with Su Shun Minghuo, who was given full authority to do things, and the result could only end up being an egg hitting a stone. Therefore, Cixi adopted the strategy of retreating as advance, avoiding the sharp edge and provocation of Sushun, and not competing with him for a short day.
Now, Cixi pretended not to know about Su Shun's instigation of Emperor Xianfeng to follow the allusion of Mrs. Gou Yi to kill herself. Because once the opponent knows that she already knows the inside story, it will inevitably arouse their vigilance, but it will startle the snake and bring more trouble to herself.
Concubine Yi remembered the secret letter that Prince Gong had written to her, and now it was time. She called An Dehai to give him a secret affair.
