Chapter 53: Interrogating Yuhu
The prince's studies are not as good as day by day, but his temper is getting bigger and bigger, and he often has disputes with the emperor's younger brother, which makes the chickens and dogs restless.
Tong Jiashi was tired of having to follow the two brothers all day long to deal with those endless trivial lawsuits, so he chose a day with good weather and brought Yinren and Yinzhen to Yuqing Palace.
Yuqing Palace was built on the foundation site of the former Fengci Palace, the majestic atmosphere is exquisite, it is the residence of Kangxi specially built for the prince, it was just completed before the year, and it has been newly arranged soon.
Considering that the prince was still young, he was not in a hurry to move in.
Tong Jiashi and Kangxi mentioned that the prince had built a government office in the year of the previous prince's great peace, not to mention that the prince was in the palace, just under his nose, those who want to inherit the unification must be one step independent before other princes, which is why Kangxi was moved.
But he has to convince himself to be willing, this, Tong Jiashi is in the business.
Take Yinren and Yinzhen one after the other in the brand-new temple and walk.
"Look, there is nothing more chic in the entire Forbidden City than this Yuqing Palace." Tong Jiashi walked as he walked.
"Isn't it just a shrunken palace? The verandah garden is readily available, and I don't know which prince can have such treatment! The little eunuch who followed said.
Tong Jiashi glanced at the little eunuch, his eyes were kind, and he turned to Yinren and said, "Yinren, Yinzhen, do you want to live here?" ”
Before Yinzhen could speak, Yinren opened his mouth early and said: "Huang Eniang, Emperor Ama told his sons earlier that Yuqing Palace was built for his sons!" ”
Tong Jiashi nodded and said, "Oh, I see." And he said, "Then would you like to come and stay?" ”
"Yes, of course Erchen is willing!" He took the lead, for fear of falling behind Yinzhen.
Tong Jiashi said: "That's a pity," and then leaned over and said to Yinzhen who flashed his pitiful little eyes: "Wait for Yinzhen to be crowned the king and prince of the county in the future, and there can be such a mansion outside the palace, okay?" ”
"Are you going outside the palace?" Yin Zhen asked: "Isn't it okay to be with Huang Ama and Eniang in the palace?" Yinzhen didn't want to leave Huang Ama and Eniang. ”
"Silly boy," Tong Jiashi raised his voice, "When you grow up, only the crown prince can live in the palace." ”
Yin Zhen's small brows furrowed slightly, but he still said, "Erchen knows." ”
When the moon came out, he cleaned up Yuqing Palace for Yinren and moved there on an auspicious day. Tong Jiashi let out a long sigh of relief.
"Master, the prince has moved in." Yueyao Road.
"So fast?" Jing Yu, who had just learned the news, looked a little surprised.
"Yes, the imperial concubine Niangniang has already been planning this matter and personally supervising it, and the Internal Affairs Office does not dare to slack off, it is fast." Yueyao Road.
"It seems that the imperial concubine is already looking forward to our prince moving out quickly." Jing Yu said.
"It's finally time to move away, and our fourth elder brother can be less bullied." Yueyao was relieved.
"It is said that the imperial concubine Niangniang is still planning to invite another master for our fourth elder brother, so I didn't ask to go to the prince's side to read it together in the past two days."
"That's how it should be," Yue Yao said, "The fourth elder brother is too young to learn from the prince. ”
Jing Yu sat in the hall and asked someone to invite Yuhu.
Yuhu's face was calm, and he knelt down and saluted. But he didn't wait for the word "excuse me" for a long time, although he couldn't hold back his anger, he could only kneel there and didn't dare to get up.
Thinking about what was going on, she saw Yueyao throw a bunch of mud-stained brocade bags in front of her, and asked bluntly, "You buried this thing in the backyard?" ”
Of course, Yuhu didn't admit it, shook his head and waved his hand: "Niangniang, the slave has never seen this!" ”
Seeing that she had a hard mouth, he called the two needlework palace people who worked with her in Linlang Courtyard to come out and testify.
The two did not hesitate, and identified on the spot that she had sneakily taken something out of the nobleman's house that night and buried it in the yard.
"Nonsense!" Yuhu said angrily: "You guys who are blind in the dark no longer work in the house, what are you doing in the yard?" He said with a distorted face: "Now the slave and maid are also sent by the concubine to the noble master, and the interrogation of the slave and maid must go through the nobleman and the concubine Niangniang, so there is no basis for the slave and maid to plant a false accusation, and the concubine will not agree if she knows it!" ”
"You don't know yet," Yue Yao said, "The imperial concubine Niangniang allowed our Niangniang to inquire personally." ”
Yuhu was stunned for a moment and said, "The slave didn't make any mistakes, why did you investigate?" ”
Jing Yu said: "Seven years ago, you asked someone to change the record and put yourself in Yikun Palace, and this is enough to convict you of bullying the king." So saying, he asked someone to show her the file.
Yuhu's back was cold, could it be that Concubine Fei had already noticed the clue before, and she had already been prepared to interrogate her like this?
Seeing that she was deflated, Jing Yu said: "I might as well tell you directly, these two witnesses were Jinbao who saw you acting sneaky, so he temporarily called them, in order to let them be witnesses." As for Jinbao, I sent people to guard outside the Linlang Hall earlier, just to lure out the person who hid something in the bonsai. ”
Yuhu was suddenly decadent, because of the perennial sense of superiority, and the people under her all complained about her, and these two were arrested as witnesses, and they would not shirk - now no one is on her side at all.
"It's Concubine Hui." She said: "She asked the slave to do this, but definitely not for you, but for the previous concubine." ”
"Oh?" Jing Yu said: "Then why did you not secretly dig up and bury the things after the palace moved here for so long, but after the palace transferred the things to Wei Guiren, you dug up the things?" ”
Yuhu was silent.
"I don't need to ask again, is it because if I can't conceive because of this, I will also be in your arms, right? But the child in Wei Guiren's belly was expected to be born by Concubine Hui, and you saved Linlang in order to invite merit. Jing Yu said.
Yuhu was shocked, she didn't expect Concubine De to know so much.
She seemed to feel that the end was coming, and Concubine Hui was going to be unlucky.
"Do you know that the murder of the emperor's heir is to connect the nine clans? Have you ever thought about it, if this matter is poked out, Concubine Hui will not admit it? Who will be the one to blame? Did you ever know about Chunxiao's death? Jing Yu screamed a series of questions, and every sentence shook his heart like a huge thunder.
Yuhu's limbs were weak, and his whole body was paralyzed, begging: "Niangniang spare her life!" ”
"You can spare it," she said, "but you also have to know that if you dig out the brocade bag, even if I don't make a big deal, the concubine will know, so you can do it yourself." She said.
"!" Yuhu prostrate Jingyu's skirt and said: "The slave knows that she owes her mother a cheap life, and she is willing to serve only her mother!" ”
After she cried for a long time, Jing Yu nodded helplessly.
In this way, the matter of the palace people calling back to the main hall is much easier.
Yuhu also breathed a sigh of relief, and listlessly walked out of the main hall.
Yue Yao was puzzled and said, "Why didn't the master take advantage of the stolen goods this time and get a blow to Concubine Hui?" ”
"Why wouldn't I?" She said: "It's just that I'm not sure to knock her down, what's the use of just punishing a jade lake." She said.
A few days later, I heard that the gentleman chosen by Tong Jia's family for the fourth elder brother was Xiong Cixu mentioned by the emperor before, and I couldn't help but be happy.
From this point of view, Tong Jia's family doesn't seem to plan to put all the treasures on the prince.
"But the crown prince is appointed by the emperor after all." Yue Yao said worriedly.
"There is no lack of precedents in the previous dynasty that the prince was abolished if he was not angry, even if our prince was appointed by the emperor, the Qing Dynasty's system of establishing a prince has always paid attention to the establishment of virtues, if he does not grow, it is difficult to say."
Jing Yu's statement is by no means unfounded - the old prince in his thirties is three sets and three wastes, and almost everyone knows about this historical event.
