Chapter 303: Follow-up
The news in the palace has always spread very quickly, so it was only a while, and the news that Kangxi was going to establish Yunyao as the queen spread to almost everyone inside and outside the palace!
Some people don't know the specific conversation between Kangxi and Tu Hai, but they see that as soon as Tu Hai enters the palace, the emperor is about to stand up, thinking that Tu Hai made Kangxi make a decision. So these people suddenly felt that Tuhai was dizzy.
Those who are hostile to Tuhai are naturally gloating, but others who are allies with Tuhai are in a hurry, just like Fan Chengmo, who is now staying in Beijing with the help of Tuhai.
Fan Chengmo didn't care about other people's eyes at all, and ran directly to the Ministry of Rites after knowing the news. So when Tuhai came back from the palace, he happened to see Fan Chengmo waiting at the door.
Fan Chengmo's anxious appearance made Tu Hai a little surprised, and before he could ask him why he was staying here, Fan Chengmo hurriedly pulled Tu Hai to the side, and asked anxiously: "My lord, is it true that the emperor wants to make Zhao Concubine Niangniang the queen?" ”
Tu Hai smiled when he heard this: "Naturally, it's true, I didn't expect this news to spread quickly!" ”
Fan Chengmo was very anxious when he saw that Tu Hai did not have a sense of crisis, and said, "My lord, how can you force the emperor to become the queen?" Didn't the emperor decide to establish a queen after Concubine Zhao gave birth to the prince? What if you do this, if you are regarded by the emperor as a 'worship' and the like? ”
Tu Hai was made to laugh and cry by Fan Chengmo's words to split his head and cover his face, he never thought that Fan Chengmo would misunderstand that he forced the emperor to stand up.
Tu Hai felt funny in his heart, and his face was also brought out, and Fan Chengmo was even more anxious when he saw it.
Seeing this, Tu Hai didn't sell it, but he looked at the sky and said, "It's almost noon, and the old man will invite you to the restaurant for dinner in a while, and he will give you a good explanation then." You can rest assured that the old man is not a person who does not know the importance of things. ”
Fan Chengmo knew that Tu Hai would not deceive people when he looked at Tu Hai's firm eyes when he heard this, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then apologized to Tu Hai, "My lord, forgive me, it's the lower officials who are too reckless!" ”
Tu Hai didn't care, and said: "Don't care, you are also thinking about the old man, if there is nothing else, the old man will go back first, and the old man will invite you to Fuyuan Building for tea!" ”
Fan Chengmo hurriedly said when he heard this: "You should let me invite the adults to make amends for the adults!" ”
Tu Hai did not refuse, and returned to the Ministry of Rites after saying goodbye to Fan Chengmo.
At this time, Fan Chengmo, who was standing in place, was about to turn around and leave, when he saw a gloating face, and this person said sarcastically in a serious manner: "Isn't this Lord Fan?" Do you know that the building is about to fall, and you want to find the next backer! How about Lord Fan's look at this official? ”
Fan Chengmo looked up at the person in front of him when he heard this, and said neither softly nor hardly: "This is not to worry about Lord Niu Hulu, this official is still a second-grade official, and Lord Niu Hulu might as well be promoted to a second-grade official or inherit the title and then say this to the next!" ”
The man in front of him, who looked young, was instantly flushed with anger from Fan Chengmo. And Fan Chengmo didn't continue to pay attention to the clown, and turned around and left directly.
This person talking to Fan Chengmo is none other than the half-brother Fa Qi, the third son of Kubilong's third son, Concubine Niu Hulu.
Fa Qi can be said to be the person who wants the Zhao Concubine in the palace to have an accident the most, because Fa Qi is now among the heirs of Ji Bilong, a large part of the reason is because he is the sibling of Concubine Niu Hulu in the palace, but now Concubine Niu Hulu is falling out of favor in the palace, and even Fa Qi has been affected.
Fa Qi knew that his talent was not outstanding, and in the past, he could still rely on the power of Concubine Niu Hulu in the palace to suppress his younger brothers, but now that he remarried his stepwife and gave birth to a sister-in-law, Ah Ling'a, Fa Qi felt that his status was no longer what it used to be.
And then Concubine Niu Hulu fell out of favor in the palace again, and Curb Pilon's patience with him was not as good as before, Fa Qi was afraid that Curb Pilon would pass on the title to his younger brother Ah Ling, which was what Fa Pilon was most worried about.
And Fan Chengmo's words just now hit his pain point, which made Faqi very angry.
Speaking of which, Fa Qi and Fan Chengmo have long had grievances, and Fan Chengmo was transferred out of the capital before, which was also Fa Qi's force, but fortunately, Tuhai was valued by Kangxi, and Fan Chengmo, who was recommended by Tu Hai, was able to stay in the capital because of this, how could Fa Qi look at Fan Chengmo pleasing to the eye.
So after hearing that Tuhai might threaten Kangxi to establish Concubine Zhao like Aobai, Fa Qi was ecstatic, and before Fa Qi knew that Ama was preparing to make a calculation against Concubine Zhao, so he couldn't help but tremble after seeing Fan Chengmo.
However, Fa Qi didn't expect that he couldn't threaten Fan Chengmo, so he could only leave with hatred, and let the people who saw this scene sigh secretly, there is no successor to Ji Bilong!
Not to mention that when Tuhai returned to the Ministry of Rites, he summoned the people of the Ministry of Rites and began to arrange the wedding ceremony after Yun Yao's establishment.
Speaking of which, Tu Hai was also worried about Yun Yao's specifications, as Yun Yao's niece, Tu Hai was naturally willing to make Yun Yao's ceremony specifications higher. But the problem is that Kangxi already has a queen in front of him, although this queen was abolished by Kangxi not long ago, but the problem is that Yun Yao was not directly named the queen, she first entered the palace as a concubine, and then was promoted from Zhao Concubine to the queen, so that Yun Yao's specifications after the establishment are not easy to determine.
Although Tu Hai was worried about this matter in his heart, he didn't show it on his face at all, and just ordered his subordinates, "Zhao Concubine canonized the queen, you go down and make a charter to come over, so that the official can see it." ”
The left and right squires at the bottom and the other low-ranking squires and others all looked at each other, especially the left and right squires. This Qing Dynasty Ministry of Rites left and right squire is a man, a Han, the Manchurian left waiter is still a little better, he has a good family background, and he is not very worried that Tuhai will be angry with him, but the Han man's right waiter looks very bad.
Everyone knows that Tu Hai is the uncle of Zhao Concubine in the palace, if they don't satisfy Tu Hai, then if the Han man of the right waiter offends Tu Hai, he doesn't want the future at all, so the right waiter is full of embarrassment.
For the sake of his official position, the right attendant naturally didn't want to offend Tu Hai, so he could only bite the bullet and ask: "Lord Shangshu, please ask the lower official what to pay attention to during the post-establishment ceremony of Concubine Zhao, and please give me advice!" ”
The right squire knew that the most important thing in this future matter was to be satisfied with Tuhai, otherwise it would be useless for him to do whatever he did.
Tu Hai said with a smile: "This official is not very familiar with etiquette regulations, and he doesn't know what the main points are, why don't you make a few plans and see what the emperor wants?" ”
The meaning in Tu Hai's words is obvious, he must at least avoid suspicion on the bright side of this matter, after all, Yun Yao is his niece, if he pays too much attention to this matter, it is inevitable that someone will talk about Yun Yao with this.
However, Tu Hai also believes that Kangxi will not be too harsh on Yun Yao's post-establishment ceremony, even if it is for the sake of Yun Yao's pregnancy!
After Tuhai expressed his opinion, everyone under the Ministry of Rites was very embarrassed. Tu Hai didn't seem to have any requirements for them, but there was no request, it was the biggest requirement, they would rather let Tu Hai set the rough idea first, and then fill in it, so that even if something happened, the board would not hit them, who made Tu Hai the uncle of Zhao Concubine!
Tu Hai saw that their faces were not good-looking, and he did not continue to embarrass them, and said: "The other requirements have not been thought of by the official, but this etiquette should not be too complicated, and now that Concubine Zhao is pregnant with a dragon fetus, she cannot tolerate the slightest mistake." ”
Although Tu Hai's warning was not good, it also made Tu Hai's subordinates breathe a sigh of relief, it is good to have requirements, and even if Tu Hai does not mention it, they dare not take it lightly, after all, when Zhao Concubine Niangniang gives birth to a dragon fetus, that is, the concubine and daughter-in-law, maybe it is still the prince, not an ordinary Agoge can compare.
After Tu Hai finished speaking, he sent these subordinates down to do things. Then Tu Hai left the Ministry of Rites leisurely and went to the Fuyuan Building that he had agreed with Fan Chengmo.
When he arrived at the place, Fan Chengmo had been waiting there for a long time. After Tu Hai went in, he talked to Xiao Er, and was taken to Fan Chengmo's private room.
Speaking of which, the reason why Tu Hai booked a place to eat here is for no other reason, because this Fuyuan Building is Qi Wei's property, and Tu Hai naturally doesn't have to worry about someone eavesdropping.
After entering the room, Fan Chengmo saw Tu Hai coming in and quickly got up and said to Tu Hai: "I've seen my lord!" ”
Tuhai waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, sit down!" ”
Fan Chengmo sat down as he said, then hurriedly looked at Tuhai and asked, "My lord, why did the emperor suddenly rise up?" ”
When Fan Chengmo reassured him at ease, he thought of his previous recklessness, so he could guess that if it wasn't Tuhai's meaning, it must be the emperor's intention, so the question he asked hit the bull's-eye.
Tu Hai pondered for a while before saying: "The emperor didn't tell the old man what he was thinking, but the old man guessed a little, but I don't know if it's true!" ”
Fan Chengmo hurriedly said when he heard this: "I don't know what the adults have to guess? ”
Tu Hai frowned tightly and said: "When the official was summoned to the imperial study by the emperor, he found that the emperor was holding a historical record in his hand. ”
Fan Chengmo was a little confused when he heard this, and guessed: "Historical records? What is the relationship between the historical records and the emperor's attitude? ”
Tu Hai squinted his eyes and said, "The emperor is looking at the third paragraph of Yin Benji, what can you think of?" ”
Fan Chengmo is also a person who reads poetry and books, pondered for a while and said: "Isn't this paragraph about the life of Yin Shang Emperor Xin? What does it have to do with Concubine Zhao? Di Xin is just the king of a dead country, if it weren't for his brother Wei Zi Qi was born to his mother when he was a concubine, it can't be said that Di Xin would... And so on."
Fan Chengmo glanced at Tu Hai in surprise, and then said, "Could it be that the emperor is worried that Concubine Zhao's dragon fetus will be in an embarrassing position after birth?" ”
Although Tu Haiyan was a little undeniable about Fan Chengmo's evaluation of Di Xin and Wei Ziqi, he also knew that this was not the point, so he nodded and said, "The old man's guess is exactly this?" ”
Fan Chengmo was surprised when he heard this: "The emperor is really a loving father!" ”
Fan Chengmo, who was admiring on his face, didn't think so in his heart, but felt that the emperor was a little heroic and short-lived.
Fan Chengmo is a standard scholar image, and he is handed over to his wife to take care of his children, and he has no other care except for caring about his son's studies on weekdays, so Kangxi's approach makes Fan Chengmo a little disagreeable.
Tu Hai is a smart person, naturally he knows Fan Chengmo's thoughts, and he doesn't feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, not to mention that other Tu Hai and Fan Chengmo teach their children in different ways, not to mention that Yun Yao is his niece, if the emperor values Yun Yao and her children more, Tu Hai will naturally be happy.
Tu Hai didn't want to say anything more to Fan Chengmo, but Tu Hai was also worried that Fan Chengmo would be prejudiced because of this, so he said: "Is your royal business the same as your usual family?" If Concubine Zhao's birth is the prince, then it is very likely that she will be the prince in the future, so the emperor can't be too cautious! ”
Fan Chengmo heard Tu Hai's slightly reprimanding tone, and finally remembered that Concubine Zhao was the niece of the person in front of him, so he couldn't help but have an embarrassed look on his face.
Seeing this, Tu Hai explained: "It's not that the old man reprimanded you because of Concubine Zhao, but more importantly, because of the emperor, if it were at other times, the emperor might not be so nervous, but now the emperor's heirs are not abundant, Prince Xuan was adopted, the third elder brother is born weak, and the fourth elder brother has such a mother, how can the emperor not worry about the matter of the heir!" ”
Fan Chengmo also suddenly realized when he heard this, he also remembered that the emperor's heirs are indeed not rich now, and of course he can't be too careful about this sister-in-law!
Fan Chengmo hurriedly apologized to Tu Hai and said, "It's the recklessness of the lower officials, and I misunderstood the kindness of the adults!" ”
Tu Hai just waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and then said: "The royal family is no trivial matter, in the future, you don't have to question the emperor's behavior in front of others, be careful of getting into trouble." ”
Fan Chengmo also knew that Tu Hai was kind-hearted, and hurriedly thanked Tu Hai for reminding him.
Then Fan Chengmo thought of the scene at the entrance of the ceremonial department just now, and hurriedly reminded Tu Hai.
"My lord, what Fa Qi said to the lower official before, the lower official felt a little strange, and asked the adult to decide!" Then Fan Chengmo described the scene of the previous encounter with Faqi to Tu Hai.
When Tu Hai heard that Fa Qi was sure that his mansion was about to collapse, he couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart. Tu Hai didn't believe that Fa Qi would provoke Fan Chengmo for no reason, that could only mean that something happened that he didn't know!
Tu Hai was disturbed by Fan Chengmo's words, and always felt that something would go wrong, and finally Tu Hai decided to investigate the matter after he went back.
And Fan Chengmo saw that Tu Hai's face was solemn, thinking that Fa Qi's words made Tu Hai unhappy, and hurriedly comforted: "My lord, Fa Qi is just a hairy boy, even if he is in front of you, he doesn't dare to speak like this in front of you, and Fa Qi can only do it in front of the lower officials, why do you bother with the wild words of a yellow-haired child?" ”
Tu Hai saw that Fan Chengmo had misunderstood his attitude, and he didn't explain, so he said to Fan Chengmo instead: "The old man has been away for a long time, and there are a lot of things in the Ministry of Rites, so I won't accompany you here!" ”
When Fan Chengmo heard this, he hurriedly said: "My lord, please take care of yourself, you don't need to take care of the lower officials." ”
Tu Hai nodded, and left Fuyuan Building,
