Chapter 67: Night Conspiracy
Thousands of waits, waiting for this moment. Tianshui Hutong is the maiden home of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and Fangjiayuan is the maiden home of the Empress Dowager Cixi.
After King Gong arrived in Rehe, he insisted on telling everyone about family rituals, for this reason. Now the two sisters-in-law want to ask the brother-in-law about the situation of their mother's family, no matter how you look at it, it makes sense. Su Shun and several other ministers were all squeezed by King Gong's words early in the morning, and they couldn't say anything against for a while, only Du Han hesitated and said: "Between young uncles and sisters-in-law, Yili seems to avoid suspicion......
The truth is true, but saying such things in public can be regarded as extremely rude. King Gong was furious in his heart, knowing that this was an excuse made by Du Han, in order to prevent him from going to see the Queen Mother, so he didn't show the slightest expression on his face, nodded and said, "Jiyuan said the same, this makes me embarrassed...... Why don't you go in with me? ”
The Queen Mother asked King Gong to pull a family routine, and a lot of unrelated people accompanied her in, like what words? Su Shun hesitated, and remembered Jing Shou, he was the brother-in-law of Emperor Daxing, and he was considered a relative, and it was just right for him to accompany King Gong in. On the one hand, the identity does not appear abrupt, and on the other hand, it is enough to take on the responsibility of surveillance, at least so that the Queen Mother and King Gong cannot discuss anything out of the ordinary.
"Let the six concubines accompany the prince in, so that those bastards outside don't have to gossip." Su Shun has a kind person's tone.
The place where the summons was in the Dongnuan Pavilion where the Empress Dowager Ci'an lived, and the two Empress Dowagers did not expect Jingshou to accompany King Gong to see them, so they had to order the two to come in together. When the uncle and sister-in-law saw each other, they naturally thought of Xianfeng, who had just returned to the sky, and their eyes were red, and they were relatively speechless for a while. Ci'an pushed the little emperor in his arms and said, "Emperor, call Sixth Uncle." ”
"Uncle Six!" The little emperor blinked and shouted loudly.
The Empress Dowager Cixi was looking at Jing Shou, who was shrunk aside, honestly wooden. Of course, she can understand what the purpose of Su Shun sent Jing Shou to come, but there is only one chance to see King Gong, there is only one time, the opportunity cannot be lost, the time will not come again, no matter what, she must say what should be said clearly, so she can't say it, she can only be ruthless to Jing Shou.
"Six-fronted, you've always worked hard." Cixi said softly.
Don't ask King Gong, talk about yourself first, which made Jing Shou startled. He is most afraid of this queen mother who has a clear path and easy words, so when the eight ministers meet the two palaces on weekdays, he always hides in Zuihou. At this moment, there was no way, so he bowed down and replied sneeringly: "It's all the responsibility of the ministers." ”
"Yes, the responsibility of taking care of life is really heavy." Cixi said slowly, "Even a holy lord like Kangxi Ye has only grown up slowly with the assistance of the Minister of Care?" ”
Gu Ming is the ancestral system, this is needless to say, Jing Shou didn't know what the Queen Mother wanted to express for a while, so he didn't dare to speak.
"I'm a woman, I don't remember when Kangxi Ye came, it was those auxiliary politicians?"
"It's Aobai, Sony, Sukh Saha, and Suppilon." Jing Shou replied cautiously.
"Oh, who among those four people has the final say?" Cixi asked again.
"It's Aobai."
"Then after Kangxi Ye came into power, what happened to Aobai?"
Jingshou's cold sweat came down - everyone knows that Ao Bai was "dismissed from his post and imprisoned to death" by Kangxi, and the Empress Dowager Cixi used Ao Bai to reflect the meaning of Su Shun, which is also obvious. Originally, I thought that between the two palaces and Gu Ming, there was nothing to do, but now it seems that this is not the case. The gods fight, and they can't afford to provoke either side, so why do they fill it in as stuffing? In a hurry, he hurriedly knelt down, and said to Ai Ai: "Ask the Queen Mother to see clearly, the minister's care is really in name only, and they are forcing the ducks to the shelves." The minister has no two hearts for the two queen mothers, and it is not the same thing as them. ”
Prince Gong has been watching coldly, and secretly said in his heart: This woman is really extraordinary, not simple. Seeing Jing Shou's embarrassment at this moment, he knew that it was time for him to speak, so he said in a rounded tone: "The two queen mothers are Shengming, and the six foreheads are family members, and their elbows will never turn out. ”
"The sixth master is right," the Empress Dowager Ci'an also spoke, "The first emperor is in Japan, so he praised the six foreheads for being loyal and can be entrusted with great things." Sister, if you want me to say, the six widows must not help others bully our orphans and widows. ”
The three of them sang and harmonized, blushing, rubbed Jing Shou obediently, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "Xiexie Queen Mother, the queen mother, the minister will go back and resign the hat of the minister...... Resignation ......"
Speaking of which, I can't go on. The minister of Gu Ming was appointed by Emperor Daxing, can he resign with words?
"Six-fronted, please get up." Cixi didn't expect Jing Shou to be scared like this, and she felt a little sorry in her heart, but at the moment of the big event, she couldn't say anything, so she had to knock him again, "I don't need you to help anyone, you just keep this mouth and don't speak." If there is a few words that we have with the sixth master today, and a few words reach Su Shun's ears, then there is no need to count on the affection of any family, understand? ”
Shut up and don't speak, this is what you can do. Jing Shou was relieved, got up, and bowed down to answer one word: "Yes." ”
"Sixth Master," Cixi turned her head to King Gong and began to get down to business, "Su Shun's Bahu, I don't need to say it, you must know it, our sisters and the emperor all depend on you." You say that this system of caring for life, can you discuss it? ”

When they came out of the palace, the noon banquet was returned to Duanhua, but the topic was mainly based on the arrangement of Huiluan, so most of the banquet was Su Shun and King Gong talking. Emperor Daxing is no longer there, so it is no longer necessary to continue to stay in Rehe, and returning to Beijing as soon as possible can settle down the hearts of the people who were unstable because of the emperor's death as soon as possible.
The details of Yiying, whether it is the road, the line, the escort and the driver, have been talked about, Zuihou set the day of departure on July 23.
"Sixth brother, it's okay now, you come back early, and this burden on me can be unloaded as soon as possible." King Gong let out a relaxed expression.
"This can't be done," Su Shun shook his head and said, "I have to borrow you for foreign affairs!" ”
Foreign affairs is a very haode topic, so King Gong took out the prime minister's national affairs yamen and talked about it extremely vigorously. He wanted to take this opportunity to make Su Shun think that his mind was all on this, and he would never think that he would have an earth-shattering change.
After a meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and for the rest of the things, the officials brought by King Gong came to contact the internal affairs office, the military machine Zhangjing, and the yamen of Rehe. When King Gong returned to the mansion, he no longer refused guests, and it was lively and lively, and he saw people until night.
At this time, around the mansion, there are naturally scoomy scouts around, so Guan Zhuofan will never be summoned to meet. It wasn't until two days later that King Gong set off to return to Beijing, and Guan Zhuofan's small sedan chair took advantage of the night to carry it to the door of Cao Yuying's house. When he entered the inner room, he found that Xu Geng was also present.
"Yixuan, it's all settled!" The old scheming is like Cao Yuying, and there is also an excited look on his face at this moment, "Bear the burden to this day, it's time for the blade to come out of the sheath!" ”
Guan Zhuofan was ashamed to find that his first reaction was as if he saw the second grade wearing a top waving to him.
"Please command, Lord Cao!" He stood up.
"Don't be busy, let Uncle Xu Xing tell you about the arrangement of Huiluan first."
To say that it is naturally a military arrangement. The entire vigilance sequence of Huiluan was arranged by Xu Gengshen himself, because this layer was particularly important, so Xu Gengshen laid out the map and spoke very clearly and meticulously.
All the forbidden armies of Rehe will be divided into four groups and drawn one after another. In the first group, the ministers of military aircraft such as Zaiyuan Duanhua returned to Beijing first, so that the daily government affairs would not be interrupted, and the concubines and concubines in each palace also left with the first group; The second group, with Jingshou and Prince Rui Renshou, escorting the Queen Mother and the Emperor of the two palaces, is scheduled to arrive in Beijing on July 29, and will be taken over by Prince Gong; The third group, together with Su Shun and King Xuan, took the Zigong Palace of the Daxing Emperor, because the Zigong Palace was a "big bar" carried by one hundred and twenty-eight people, so he walked extremely slowly; The fourth group is the troops behind the palace.
"The first dial has entered the capital, and we have our own prince's cuisine, so we don't have to worry about it," Xu Gengshen said, "The fourth dial behind His Royal Highness will be cut off by Sheng Kezhai's cavalry at that time, and it will at least be half a day's journey from the front." ”
"The two ends are big, and the middle is small," Cao Yuying waited for Xu Geng to finish speaking, and looked at Guan Zhuofan with blazing eyes, "Yixuan, this is where you come in." ”
"Where?" Guan Zhuofan asked knowingly and added such a sentence.
Cao Yuying didn't speak, and pressed her finger a small circle in the map.
Miyun, of course, Miyun.
Dense clouds, earth-shattering, spinning.
