Chapter 291: The Abolition of the Divine Decree
Qianqing Palace
Tu Hai's words made Kangxi a little uneasy, speaking of which Tu Hai just happened to say Kangxi's hidden worries, on the Mongolian side, since the Queen Mother committed suicide and the Queen Mother forced the palace to fail, even if Kangxi made a lot of efforts, the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia was declining day by day, and it was no longer what it used to be.
In fact, according to Kangxi's previous temperament, he would definitely not tolerate the threat of the Mongols, but Kangxi is now more and more mature and knows the importance of compromise.
But this does not mean that Kangxi can endure the death of his son, even if Cheng Cobalt has been adopted.
So Kangxi is very angry now, but Kangxi also knows that this must be the hand of a small number of Mongols, otherwise it would not be Prince Xuan who was poisoned now, but Mongolia began to fight with them!
Thinking of this, Kangxi was also a lot more relieved, and then looked at Liang Jiugong and said: "You go and check the situation of the five institutes in Qianxi, and don't miss any situation that can be missed!" ”
Liang Jiugong hurriedly accepted the order when he heard this, and then said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, what about Prince Xuan's grandmother?" ”
Kangxi glanced at her in disgust, and then said, "You take it down and interrogate it well, and hand over the situation to Tuhai!" After saying that, Kangxi asked people to drag her down.
Liang Jiugong's actions were very neat, and with the help of the consultant firm, he quickly figured out the situation of the Qianxi Fifth Institute. Although the specific person who poisoned Liang Jiugong was not found out, under the guidance of the consultant bank, intentionally or unintentionally, Liang Jiugong found the person who was ordered by the queen to poison Prince Xuan but did not do it.
In fact, speaking of which, the consultant's hatred for the queen has not been alleviated so far, so naturally he will not hide anything for the queen, especially when the people sent by the queen are interstellar.
When Liang Jiugong inspected the residences of these palace maids and eunuchs, he found that Xiao Tao, a palace maid who obeyed the queen's orders, still had poison hidden in the place where he lived.
When Kangxi heard Liang Jiugong's report, he trembled with anger, and then said to Liang Jiugong: "The queen is unkind and unworthy of the position of the middle palace, so I ordered Yousi to bury her as a concubine, and it must not be violated!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Liang Jiugong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, you must know that when the queen was involved in the queen mother's plan to force the palace, the emperor only put the queen into the cold palace, and never abolished the queen, I didn't expect the emperor to give such an order today!
Let the queen be buried as a concubine, isn't this the same as being abolished?
Liang Jiugong didn't dare not open his mouth at this time, "Your Majesty, you have to think twice!" ”
Kangxi's mood at this time is under rage, don't look at Kangxi has matured a lot in recent days, but this can't hide the stubborn nature in Kangxi's bones, so this time Kangxi doesn't want to take into account the impact of his move at all.
Kangxi said resolutely: "I have made up my mind, you go down!" ”
Seeing this, Liang Jiugong couldn't persuade him anymore, so he could only retreat. But the storm caused by Kangxi's move has just begun!
And Tu Hai sat down not long after returning to the yamen, and he heard a sudden noise outside, Tu Hai was a little strange, and when he opened the door, he saw Liang Jiugong with a bitter face.
Liang Jiugong's eyes were also very sharp, and when he saw Tu Hai come out, he hurriedly greeted: "Lord Tu, the emperor has a decree, please accept the decree from the Ministry of Rites!" ”
Tuhai Jianzhang hurriedly stepped forward, followed by a large number of officials of the Ministry of Rites.
Liang Jiugong took a holy decree and opened it to preach to everyone: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the queen Hesheri clan, get Mu Tian's grace, you are the queen, but her temperament is arrogant, he is unfilial to the empress dowager, cruelty to the clan, all kinds of crimes, read in his and I am a young couple, have not been dealt with." However, the queen does not miss Jun's grace, which is not what I want. I don't want to be juxtaposed with it after a hundred years, hereby, the queen's funeral specifications are disposed of according to the concubine's position, Qin this! ”
After Liang Jiugong finished reciting the holy decree, everyone in the Ministry of Rites looked at each other, and some didn't know what to do!
Even Tu Hai looked at Liang Jiugong in shock, and Liang Jiugong could only smile bitterly when he saw this. After Tu Hai got up and took the holy decree, he pulled Liang Jiugong aside and hurriedly asked: "Father-in-law Liang, the old man has just left the palace for a while, why did the emperor make up his mind to abolish the queen?" What the hell is going on in the palace? ”
Liang Jiugong said with a wry smile when he heard this: "Master Tu doesn't know, after you left, the emperor asked him to check the five institutes of Qianxi under the order, who knew that someone was found to be secretly hiding poison, and after a deep investigation, it was found that this person was still the queen's person, and the queen had poisoned this palace maid to kill Prince Xuan before she died, and thanks to this palace maid who knew the severity and didn't do anything, otherwise... Alas! ”
Tu Hai was shocked when he heard this, although Tu Hai had long known the truth of the matter, he also made an appearance in front of Liang Jiugong. However, Tu Hai was still a little surprised that Kangxi suddenly issued such a holy decree.
Tu Hai also understands Kangxi's temperament better, the emperor's temperament is still rather bent, it seems that he still has to pay attention to the relationship with the emperor in the future!
Liang Jiugong was also stunned when he saw Tu Hai, thinking that Tu Hai was also surprised by the queen's style.
Liang Jiugong thought that Tu Hai was no one else, so he sighed to Tu Hai: "The miscellaneous family has only heard that the tiger poison does not eat children, but the queen's behavior really makes the miscellaneous family not know how to talk about it!" ”
Tu Hai seemed to have just reacted, looked at Liang Jiugong in surprise and said, "Then the poison on Prince Xuan's body was ordered by the queen?" Not the Mongols! Tu Hai's face was a little sneering, as if he felt that he had lost face.
Seeing this, Liang Jiugong knew that Tu Hai thought that the poison on Prince Xuan's body was from the queen, and hurriedly explained: "Master Tu was mistaken, didn't the miscellaneous family explain what he said to you just now?" The palace maid under the queen is also a clever one, and she didn't attack Prince Xuan.
And the poison given by the queen is highly poisonous crane top red, as long as it is a little stained, it can kill people immediately, if Prince Xuan is really stained, I'm afraid now..."
Tu Hai seemed to suddenly realize, and then said with a somewhat solemn face: "What does Gonggong Liang mean that he hasn't found out who drugged Prince Xuan yet?" ”
Liang Jiugong also sighed and said, "According to the miscellaneous family, if it weren't for the empress wanting to take revenge on the Hesheri family, Prince Xuan would have suffered such an unwarranted disaster!" Miscellaneous people probably won't find out so easily! ”
Liang Jiugong looked carefully left and right, and whispered to Tu Hai: "The miscellaneous family always thinks that the queen did this on purpose!" ”
Tu Hai raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked with some curiosity: "Why did Father-in-law Liang say this?" ”
Seeing this, Liang Jiugong explained in a low voice: "When the miscellaneous family went to inspect the five institutes in Qianxi, the poison was placed under the noses of the miscellaneous family, doesn't this explain the problem?" You don't know that Prince Xuan is serving by the Yizi Advisor of the Miscellaneous Family, and the consultant is careful in his work, which is why the emperor sent him to Prince Xuan's side.
Before that, the consulting firm deliberately checked the five institutes in Qianxi, but the consulting firm did not find anything problematic at all. Liang Jiugong said with an oath.
Tu Hai nodded when he heard this, expressing his belief in what the advisor said, and then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why does Father-in-law Liang have the leisure to grind his teeth for the old man at this time, why don't you go back to serve the emperor?" ”
Liang Jiugong reacted at this time, jumped up from his seat, and said to Tu Hai: "It's also a miscellaneous family who doesn't have anything to say in the palace, so I can only tell you about these things, and please forgive me!" ”
Tu Hai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Liang doesn't have to be polite, it's also the old man's curiosity that pulls Father-in-law Liang to speak, Father-in-law Liang go back and serve the emperor!" ”
After Tu Hai finished speaking, Liang Jiugong also hurriedly said goodbye, and he couldn't see the way he spat on Tu Hai just now!
Looking at the back of Liang Jiugong leaving, Tu Hai suddenly smiled. In fact, Tuhai knew that Liang Jiugong deliberately said these things to him, obviously because Kangxi meant it, otherwise Liang Jiugong would not have been bold enough to tell him so many palace secrets, these things are not something that ordinary people can know.
Tu Hai can also imagine why Kangxi did this, for no other reason, this time Kangxi suddenly made an order, and even he, a courtier who had always been biased towards Kangxi, was taken aback, let alone others.
Since Kangxi insisted on abolishing the queen, he would definitely expect the turmoil in the court, if there was no Tuhai to maneuver around, Kangxi's abolition of things was likely to be criticized by the courtiers, and even many neutral ministers would have a great impression of the emperor because of this.
And although Kangxi didn't say it explicitly, Tu Hai knew that Kangxi must have asked him to win over this part of the neutral people. For example, literati like Fan Chengmo. After all, before coming into contact with Kangxi, Tu Hai was one of the important representatives of neutral people.
Because the Empress Dowager has spared no effort in propaganda for so many years, she has made the courtiers regard Shunzhi as a lord who loves beauty and does not love the country. In this way, don't think about Kangxi's reputation!
And Tu Hai had to help with this favor, because Tu Hai knew that if Kangxi's reputation was not protected at this time, then Yun Yao would only be regarded by the courtiers as the next Concubine Dong E, what happened to Concubine Dong E, Tu Hai was naturally clear, after all, Concubine Dong E's position as queen was abolished by the emperor, and he didn't want his niece to go through such a thing!
Unless the emperor doesn't make Yun Yao the queen, but is this possible? Not to mention whether Kangxi is happy or not, even Tuhai will not let Yun Yao lose the position of a queen because of this.
After Tuhai understood the seriousness of the matter, he decided to handle this matter safely!
When Tu Hai stepped out of the door, he saw that the people in the entire Ministry of Rites were doing things absent-mindedly, obviously frightened by Kangxi's holy decree just now, and Tu Hai ignored the expressions of his subordinates who wanted to speak and stopped, and left without skipping work.
