"The concubine has only been here for a while, and seeing that the emperor is sleeping soundly, she didn't wake up the emperor." Ling Ruo said as he walked up the smooth and calm steps, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed it on Yinzhen's temples, "Although state affairs are important, the emperor also has to take care of his body, don't be too tired, this Qing Dynasty still has to rely on the emperor to support it." ”

"I'm fine." Yin Zhen pulled down her hand and said: "Besides, in his later years, Huang Ama was lenient in his administration, and with benevolence and virtue, he made those officials under him bold, and the silver sent by the court to repair river works, disaster relief, and improve people's livelihood was used to fill his own pockets. Since Huang Ama has entrusted this important task to me, I must do it well, so as not to have no face to see Huang Ama and his ancestors after a hundred years. ”

"Yes, the emperor is wise and diligent, and he will definitely be able to make the Qing Dynasty prosperous and prosperous." This is not a perfunctory word of comfort, but she believes that Yinzhen does have the ability and determination.

"It's not enough for me to be alone, it's easier for Yunxiang to help me take care of all the things in the court, but unfortunately not all brothers are of the same mind as me. Their hearts have never really been at peace. After he succeeded to the throne, he treated Yun Yu and his group with leniency and kindness, and crowned the prince and the prince of the county. It's a pity that they haven't stayed at that, they are respectful to him on the surface, and they continue to act in private, and now the reason why they have been holding back is to see how far they want to go.

He promised Huang Ama that he would treat his brother well, and if it wasn't a last resort, he didn't want to go to the step of his roommate.

Ling Ruo was silent, only the movements in her hands continued, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, even if Yinzhen did not avoid her, she herself had to know how to avoid it, there were too many involvements, and it was impossible to withdraw even if she wanted to get out in the back.

Yin Zhen paused for a moment and said: "Having said that, Li Wei has been trained in the local area in the past few years, and he dares to take responsibility, which is very rare. Therefore, this time I am going to release him to a Yunnan Dao Yanyi Road. ”

Salt officials have always been a fat shortage, and how many people sharpen their heads and drill into it. In the past, the Yellow River was flooded, and there was no silver for disaster relief in the household department, Yinzhen and Yinxiang took out two million taels of silver from the pockets of those salt merchants and salt officials, which solved the urgent needs of the imperial court, so most of the people who could serve as salt officials were the emperor's cronies.

"It is Li Wei's blessing to be valued by the emperor, I hope he will have a good life and run errands, so as not to lose the emperor's trust." Li Wei can have a future, and she, the original owner, is also happy.

"Well, Li Wei, Tian Wenjing, Zhang Tingyu, and Ortai, these four are all capable ministers, and I look forward to them assisting me to be a Ming Jun!" Yin Zhen sighed a lot between his words, it is not easy to open the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country.

In the jumping candle flame, Yin Zhen pulled down Ling Ruo's hand and rubbed it gently on the side of his cheek, the owner of these hands could always make him feel unusually quiet and gentle while he was tired, "Don't you have anything to say to me?" ”

"What does the emperor want his concubines to say?" Ling Ruo lowered his head, and the amethyst bead hairpin on his hair hung down the fine tassels and brushed them off his ears.

Yin Zhen smiled forgively, took Ling Ruo's hand and let her walk in front of her, "It seems that you have made up your mind that I will speak first." Looking at the beautiful face that seemed to be unable to see enough, Yinzhen sighed suddenly, "In the past twenty years, Ruo'er is still so beautiful, but on the other hand, I am a lot older." ”

In fact, Yinzhen is only forty-five years old, he is really not old, and his appearance before succeeding to the throne is like about twenty, but after only one year on the throne, wrinkles began to climb on his face, thin, like scattered fish lines, and gray hair grows on the sideburns, making him reveal a trace of vicissitudes.

Ling Ruo squatted down, bowed his head on Yinzhen's lap, and said softly: "The emperor is not old, in the hearts of the concubines, the emperor is still as young as twenty years ago. ”

Yin Zhen's eyebrows lowered slightly, and he slowly stroked Ling Ruo's cheeks, which were still as smooth and delicate as a girl, and chuckled, "You can talk and make me happy." There is another day of Chinese New Year's Eve and even New Year, Ruo'er, to be honest, do you want to be family? ”

Ling Ruowei hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "If the concubine says that she doesn't want to, then she is deceiving the emperor." It's just that the concubines don't want to embarrass the emperor. ”

Yin Zhen stroked Ling Ruo's face for a long time before he said: "I asked Long Ke to investigate the matter, there is already news, the loss of the military uniform of the Hangzhou arsenal should be a year later, and the person in charge of the arsenal at that time was General Zhang Danian. ”

Ling Ruo listened quietly, and after Yinzhen finished speaking, he said: "The concubine and this general surnamed Zhang don't know each other, why does he persecute the concubine like this in Tongzhou, and dare to trap the emperor for injustice?" ”

"You naturally don't know, but Zhang Danian's position as a general was mentioned when Nian Qianyao was the general of Hangzhou, before that, he was just a hundred households, and Nian Qianyao treated him with the grace of knowing him." Yin Zhen felt the body lying on her knees stiffen, patted her comfortingly, and took out a fold with a yellow silk cover from the bottom of the pile of folds on the table and gave it to Ling Ruo, "Look at this again." ”

The reason why Ling Ruo's body was stiff was not because she learned that someone had framed her, which was expected, but what really surprised her was that this matter was related to the Nian clan, not the queen she had always thought before.

Endured the doubts in her heart, took the fold from Yinzhen's hand, and after seeing the words written inside, even if it was in her mind, she still couldn't help but show a trace of ugliness. Because this excerpt is no one else, it is Amma, who is already in prison; On the grounds that Ama was slacking off his duties and deceiving the king, he asked Yinzhen to dismiss him, and the whole family was sent to the northwest to fill the army, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing.

The words of this excerpt are sharp and ruthless, and every sentence points to the mistakes made by Ling Zhu during Yinzhen's enthronement ceremony, and magnified them infinitely, and its meaning is obvious, that is, to put Ling Zhu to death. Filling the army and plugging the border fortress sounds like it is just a living crime, and it will not kill people, but what kind of place is it in the northwest, the bitter cold is harsh, coupled with the thousands of miles of travel, many prisoners have died in the middle, even if Fu Da is lucky to live to the northwest, but because the environment there is too harsh, and he has to be incorporated into the army to do hard labor, so he lost his life in endless fatigue.

With the body and age of Ama and Eniang, I am afraid that they will not be able to survive just this thousands of miles, and the eldest brother, once Yinzhen plays and disposes of Ling Zhu and others accordingly, then Ling Ruo's mother's family will be uprooted and lose the protection of her mother's family, and in this way, no matter how graceful Yinzhen is, her life in the palace will not be too easy.

The intentions of those who take this letter are not vicious; Ling Ruo gritted his teeth and turned his gaze to the bottom of the excerpt, and the signature was: Nian Xiyao.
