Chapter 169 - No Easy Storage (2)
Forbidden city.
In the East and West Zodiac Palaces, each concubine had already received the news of their respective families entering the palace before dark.
These people are not worried about Kangxi or Yinren. What they wanted was to let these concubines inquire about the news in the palace. This makes sure they are in the right position for the rest of the line.
These people who have been in the palace for most of their lives are not little girls who have just entered the palace, and as soon as they get the news handed in by the family, they know that the family wants to do something for themselves.
However, knowing is knowing. But people have always been selfish. It can be said that it is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing to find out the news at this juncture.
It's not that she is risking her life, but the Queen Mother is now in the Qianqing Palace, and she has clearly issued an edict not to allow others to approach. If he went rashly, he would undoubtedly offend the Queen Mother.
Not to mention what these palace concubines planned, when it was dark, Yinren got the news handed over by the fifth elder brother Yinqi. Although I was very curious about what Xiaozhuang said in the edict. But Yinren still tried hard to restrain his inner emotions, and crushed the wax pill in front of him quite calmly.
The closer one gets to the final truth of what one is curious about, the more excited one is in his heart. Although he tried his best to stay calm, Yinren's slightly trembling little finger when he unfolded the note in the wax pill undoubtedly betrayed Yinren's heart.
When Yinren unfolded the note, he saw a few lines of slightly scattered words falling on the paper. As soon as he read it, Yinren's heart was immediately filled with ecstasy. It's just that after the joy, Yinren frowned, and his mood returned to calm.
The content of this filial piety edict is indeed beneficial to himself.
"Fengtian carried the Empress Dowager, and the edict said: After a hundred years of mourning, the emperor still needs to remember that the crown prince is the foundation of the country, and light movement will make the society turbulent. If the crown prince Yinren had not committed a heinous mistake, the emperor would have to forgive him, and it would not be easy to save. ”
Indeed, suddenly seeing this edict, Yinren was inexplicably happy. After all, it is not a heinous crime, and it is undoubtedly a good protective coat for not being easy to store.
I have to say that Xiaozhuang's political sensitivity and understanding of Kangxi and the crown prince are the deepest. Before his death, he had predicted that once the crown prince's position changed, the royal family and the government and the opposition would inevitably be in turmoil. She had foreseen in advance that Kangxi might change the position of the prince.
However, although Xiaozhuang foresaw these things and did a good job of corresponding protective measures, Xiaozhuang's edict actually had a huge loophole. The edict only said that it could not be easily stored, but it did not say that it could not be wasted. If Kangxi really wants to compete, he only needs to abolish himself and no longer appoint others as reserves.
Yinren didn't think that Xiaozhuang would not be able to find out that there was such a huge loophole in the edict he made. The only explanation is that this loophole was actually deliberately made by Xiaozhuang.
If such a loophole is released, if Yinren really commits something in the future, this edict will not become an obstacle to restrain Kangxi and make Kangxi shackle his hands and feet. In the final analysis, the reminder of this edict is much more powerful than the command.
But is it better than nothing?
Inside the house, Yinren figured things out, and threw the note in his hand into the charcoal brazier on the side. Outside the house, a little eunuch hurriedly ran to Zhang Bao's side, whispered a few words and left in a hurry.
After hearing this, Zhang Bao didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly walked to Yinren's door, raised his hand and knocked lightly. "Master, the little one has something important to say." Just threw the note with the content of Xiaozhuang's testament into the charcoal brazier and burned Yinren, who didn't say anything when he heard this, and responded softly: "Come in." ”
Without much delay, Zhang Bao neatly pushed open the door and entered. When he got inside, he saw Yinren drinking tea with a teacup, Zhang Baogong said respectfully: "Master, our people just came with the news, and the four concubines in front of them were guarding the door of the Qianqing Palace and wanted to come in. ”
Not too surprised, Yinren glanced at Zhang Bao casually before he spoke: "Then what's going on?" ”
"Nothing happened before our people came, but I don't know if anything happened ahead of us now?" Saying that, Zhang Bao looked at Yinren cautiously. Looking at Zhang Bao's cautious appearance, Yinren couldn't help but smile dumbly.
said softly: "Even if nothing happens, then you don't have to worry about anything, so as not to cause trouble, and the upper body is not beautiful." Besides, this is a matter of the harem, if the lord rushes over there, it is a taboo, and there is a suspicion of trespassing, and everything will be handed over to the queen mother. ”
After speaking, he looked up at Zhang Bao again: "You only need to instruct your subordinates to keep an eye on the things over there, and if there is any situation, let them come over and report it quickly." If the Queen Mother didn't give her orders, let them leave nothing alone. ”
After receiving clear instructions, Zhang Bao hurriedly said "no" and prepared to go out. Yinren hurriedly stopped him, and then said: "After the matter is explained, let's go to the house and keep watch, the weather outside is still strangely cold." ”
Zhang Bao didn't say anything, but he was still very satisfied.
On the other side, the entrance of the Qianqing Palace. The four concubines who received the news, although they fought fiercely with each other on weekdays, they actually learned to hold together at this time. As soon as he got the news, after a brief thought, he rushed to Concubine Hui's palace one after another.
I have to say that the enemy is really the person who knows you in the world compared to his relatives. I don't know what to say about this rare tacit understanding between the four concubines.
The first to arrive in Concubine Hui's palace was Concubine De, and when Concubine Hui saw Concubine De coming, she didn't give any good looks. After all, Concubine Hui's son is the eldest elder brother Yinzhen, and Concubine De's son, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, is the closest one to the crown prince Yinren on the surface. It's no wonder that Concubine Hui doesn't give Concubine De any good looks.
Concubine De gritted her teeth in her heart, and didn't mention it for the time being, but she still walked into Concubine Hui's palace quite calmly. If she doesn't have such patience, then why can she Concubine De sit on the throne of one of the four concubines who are now in charge of the palace from a clothed palace maid?
The main reason is that I am here to talk about things today, and Concubine De doesn't want to make extraneous branches. After waiting for a while, the other two of the four concubines were late. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Concubine Hui spoke: "My sister knows, why did your sisters come." ”
"As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, if the four of us act together this time, it is not impossible to do it!" Saying that, Concubine Hui paused: "This is the matter." Let's have to find a way to start first. ”
