Qianqing Palace

Kangxi was concentrating on painting, and suddenly there was a lot of noise outside the door, Kangxi was careless and almost destroyed the painting, Kangxi shouted unhappily: "Someone!" ”

The result was to Kangxi's surprise that Liang Jiugong actually broke into the palace in a panic, and he couldn't see the calmness of his usual days at all.

Kangxi frowned fiercely when he saw it, and wanted to reprimand Liang Jiugong, but Liang Jiugong's words made Kangxi's face completely change.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother hanged herself!" Liang Jiugong said in a panic.

Kangxi threw the brush in his hand on the painting on the table at once, and it looked extremely bad. However, Kangxi didn't have time to pay attention to this painting, and Liang Jiugong's words shocked Kangxi very much.

Kangxi hurriedly looked at Liang Jiugong and asked, "How could this happen?" Are all the people in Shoukang Palace dead? Can't even look down on a queen mother? ”

Liang Jiugong also had a bitter face and said: "It is said that the Queen Mother seemed to have recovered a little before, and then the palace people relaxed a little, except for the most trusted Mama Wulan, no one else followed, because usually the Queen Mother's master and servant often left everyone alone to speak, so the people in Shoukang Palace did not pay attention."

As a result, when it was time for dinner, someone went in and saw the Queen Mother and Mother Wulan hanging on the beam of the room together, only to find that the Queen Mother had died. ”

Kangxi didn't know what to say when he heard it, so he could only scold angrily: "Idiots, a bunch of idiots!" ”

Kangxi had no choice but to say: "Hurry up and block the news, don't let anyone know!" ”

Liang Jiugong's expression was even more frightened when he heard this, and he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I found that the palace people of the Queen Mother were terribly frightened, so... So a lot of people know about it! ”

Kangxi directly kicked the table over, and in a fit of rage, even Liang Jiugong was affected, and Kangxi finally came to his senses after this farce.

He immediately ordered: "Arrest all the people in Shoukang Palace, and don't let go of one!" It is impossible for the Queen Mother to commit suicide for no reason, you go to find out who has been in contact with the Queen Mother, and that Ulan, also go and investigate! And go and call Leshan over! ”

After Liang Jiugong received the order, he hurriedly retreated.

Leshan was also shocked when he received Liang Jiugong's order, and hurried over.

As soon as Leshan entered the palace gate, he saw Kangxi sitting on the top, and Leshan hurriedly asked for guilt: "The slave is guilty, and he failed to investigate and deal with this matter in time, and he asked the emperor to condemn him!" ”

Kangxi is not a very unreasonable person, Leshan rarely intervenes in this inner court, and he has always been the sphere of influence of the internal guard before, so Kangxi will not be guilty because of this.

Kangxi waved his hand to let Leshan get up, and said, "It's not your fault, it's just that now I want you to investigate this matter, is there a problem?" ”

Leshan nodded hesitantly and said, "The slave will never give up!" ”

Leshan seemed to be about to say something, Kangxi saw it and said: "If there is anything, just say it, you don't have to swallow it!" ”

Seeing this, Leshan hurriedly said: "Qiqi Shengshang, the slave thinks that this time it can't be that there is a problem with the internal guard!" ”

Kangxi nodded and said: "I called you here because there is likely to be a problem in the inner guard, this time I sent two internal guards to keep an eye on the Queen Mother, but I don't know how the Queen Mother took advantage of the loophole." You also check the matter of the internal guard this time. ”

Leshan didn't agree immediately after hearing this, but asked with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, this internal guard slave should not interfere, this is the rule set by the emperor!" "At the beginning, in order to prevent the internal guards and the external guards from joining forces, Shunzhi directly set this rule, so that the internal and external guards must abide by it, and Leshan hesitated because of this.

Kangxi was also a little hesitant when he heard this, and finally thought about it and said: "It's a matter of urgency, there is no way to do such a big thing, this time you go as long as you can find out the problematic internal guard, even if you do a great job, the rest of me will find someone else to take over." ”

When Leshan heard this, he no longer hesitated, and said, "The slave takes the order!" ”

After Leshan retreated, Kangxi lost his composure just now, and rubbed his brows a little tiredly.

Suddenly, the advisor hurriedly came in and said, "Long live Lord Qiyu, the Empress Dowager is here!" ”

Kangxi didn't react for a while, and only after thinking about it did he say angrily: "Who let the Empress Dowager come out?" ”

As soon as Kangxi's words fell, an old voice came from the door, "This kind of thing happened, can't the mourning family come out?" ”

At the door, I saw a richly dressed old woman holding a cane and being helped in slowly, this was the first appearance of the Empress Dowager after the earthquake.

Kangxi listened to the voice of the Empress Dowager and knew that the situation was irreversible today, but Kangxi had also decided that he would no longer be soft-hearted to the Empress Dowager, and he didn't know if an emperor who was no longer soft-hearted to the Empress Dowager could stand it.

Kangxi didn't go to the door to greet the Empress Dowager at all, but stood in place and closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Come on, send the Empress Dowager back to the palace!" ”

When the Empress Dowager said Kangxi's words, her eyes widened in anger, "Xuan Ye, this is your answer?" Do you want to be grounded in mourning home? ”

The corners of Kangxi's mouth hooked up with a smile and said, "How come?" The imperial grandmother was unwell, and I couldn't bear to let the imperial grandmother be tired, so I deliberately let the imperial grandmother rest. ”

Kangxi is now glad to have listened to Tuhai's advice and swept away most of the Empress Dowager's forces in the palace, otherwise Kangxi suspected that today might be the second time to force the palace.

The Empress Dowager was helpless, the power in her hands had been greatly damaged after she was grounded by Kangxi this time, and it could only support her to leave Cining Palace, no matter how much she could.

However, because of Kangxi's previous actions, the Empress Dowager felt very confident that Kangxi was still in her control, even if Su Mala repeatedly persuaded her, she insisted on coming to Qianqing Palace.

If she doesn't take advantage of the scandal of the Queen Mother's suicide to show her status, there will be no place for her in the harem in the future!

However, to the surprise of the Empress Dowager, Kangxi's attitude was very cold, and there was almost no warmth when she was let go before, but there was only coldness left. This made the Empress Dowager a little frightened.

When the Empress Dowager wanted to speak again, suddenly there was a commotion outside, and the Empress Dowager showed a satisfied look on her face.

Kangxi saw it, but he chuckled in his heart, worried that the Empress Dowager would have another hand.

The results came quickly, and Liang Jiugong came in the door to report: "Emperor Qiqi, Prince Waili, Prince Zheng, Prince An, Prince Zhuang, Prince Yu, Prince Gong, and Lord Tuhai, Lord Kubilong, etc., ask to see the emperor!" ”

As soon as Liang Jiugong's words came out, the Empress Dowager's face changed, these clans have always looked at her unpleasantly, how could they be specially supporting her! This time the Queen Mother really feels bad!

Kangxi was also a little worried when he heard this, but the clan and Tuhai came over together, so Kangxi was a little less worried, at least they didn't come to help the Empress Dowager!

Kangxi hurriedly said: "Xuan them come in!" ”

Soon, a group of princes and Tuhai and other ministers came in.

As soon as they entered the door, everyone began to meet Kangxi and the Empress Dowager. "The slave meets the emperor and the queen mother!"

The more eye-catching thing is that Prince Yu Fuquan and Prince Gong Changning did not call the Empress Dowager the imperial grandmother at all, and the expressions on their faces were very angry, but looking at the Empress Dowager added a little anger.

Everyone present noticed the abnormality of the two brothers, and the Empress Dowager also found out, so the Empress Dowager's face was a little ugly and wanted to question, but Fuquan and Chang Ning's attitude was not disrespectful, so the Empress Dowager could only give up!

Kangxi also noticed the unusual anger on the faces of these people in front of him, he looked at Tu Hai again, and found that Tu Hai's lips moved slightly: "First Emperor." ”

Kangxi got Tuhai's hint, his heart moved slightly, remembering that Tuhai had said before that he wanted to find out the cause of the death of the former emperor, and now he saw that Tuhai had pulled so many princes and ministers over, he must have found evidence, otherwise Tuhai would not have let so many people come.

Kangxi was no longer worried, but the Empress Dowager was worried, and when she saw everyone coming over, she thought of what she had done.

I thought that these clan ministers had found evidence when they forced the palace in the first place.

Although the Empress Dowager said that she was confident that she had not left any fatal evidence at the beginning, there were accidents in everything, and the Empress Dowager was worried that she was negligent.

The Empress Dowager's panic was seen by everyone, and even the clan that had some doubts about the authenticity of Tu Hai's words was somewhat certain.

Kangxi didn't speak, Prince An couldn't help it first, Prince An was originally promoted by the emperor, and after learning the cause of Shunzhi's death from Tuhai, Prince An was not in a hurry.

"The servants and others came because they heard about a terrible thing, so the servants and others came to tell and ask the emperor to be honorable."

As soon as Prince An said, everyone agreed: "The servants and others came together for this reason, and the servants were asked to be tolerant." ”

As soon as the clan came over, the fools knew that it was a big deal, so no one in the hall said a word.
