Chapter 27 Xiaozhuang's Illness
Just like Yun Yao's guess, Kangxi already knew the fact that the Empress Dowager was pretending to be sick.
At the beginning of the year, Kangxi had just received the help of his imperial father's secret guard, because he knew that Shunzhi had left him with manpower, and Kangxi's mood was a little indescribable.
Kangxi looked at the two men in guard clothes in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "You say that you are the secret guards left by the emperor?" There was some strangeness in Kangxi's tone, and there was some secret joy that he couldn't even detect.
The dark guard commander and deputy commander below heard Kangxi's tone, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. After all, they should have been like Kangxi when the emperor ascended the throne, and now that the saint has been on the throne for nearly ten years, it is really too late to come to the emperor to report at this time. Seeing Kangxi's attitude, they were somewhat relaxed.
Leshan, the commander of the dark guard, hurriedly replied: "The slave is the commander who Kangxi took office in six years, and the previous commander of the dark guard died, so the slave took over this position." Leshan didn't dare to be angry and waited for Kangxi's ruling.
What Leshan didn't say was that before the sixth year of Kangxi, most of them followed Aobai's instructions, and before Shunzhi's death, the first emperor entrusted the secret guard to his confidant ministers, so that they could be handed over to the emperor when Kangxi was in power. This Aobai is one of them, and the most important thing is that the former commander is friendly with Aobai, until the above general Aobai is captured, the dark guard commander is on good terms with Aobai on the surface, and he is implicated, and then he is the successor leader.
And after he succeeded to the position of commander, he was a little at a loss of what to do, and later, at the suggestion of his deputy Qi Wei, that is, the deputy commander beside him, temporarily hid his traces, and could not let the emperor kill them as Ao Bai Yu party.
Moreover, their secret guard was not in the hands of the Empress Dowager, and when the Empress Dowager knew of their existence, she had been trying to eliminate them. If it weren't for the previous secret guard commander who had made friends with Aobai, their secret guard would have been destroyed by the Empress Dowager.
Leshan felt a pity for Aobai, after all, Aobai was the henchman of the emperor before, and he was loyal to the emperor, if it wasn't for the queen mother's killing, he wouldn't have reached this point. In fact, before Aobai's death, the former commander warned Aobai, but unfortunately Aobai thought very highly of himself and did not take the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang in his eyes, and ended up like this.
However, he has been on the throne for eight years before his imperial father's power came to work, which made Kangxi have to doubt the truth.
Kangxi heard Leshan's words, and after a little thought, he knew why Leshan reported like this. In the sixth year of Kangxi, that was the year he captured Aobai, I'm afraid that the secret guard was Aobai before. Dominant.
When Kangxi wanted to ask about the situation of the secret guard in detail, at this moment, suddenly outside the palace gate, the news of the sudden illness of the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace came. When Kangxi heard this, he hurriedly went to Cining Palace to visit the Empress Dowager. At this time, although Kangxi and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang often had different political views, they had differences from time to time. Even so, Kangxi's admiration for the emperor's grandmother still prevailed. Therefore, Kangxi was extremely frightened, worried that his grandmother was old and sick, what would happen to him.
Kangxi left in a hurry, but he didn't see the dark guard commander and the deputy commander looking at each other. This is not because Kangxi ignored them, after all, they are slaves, so they will not complain about the emperor because of this.
They were surprised by the Empress Dowager's illness and the emperor's feelings for the Empress Dowager. Both of these surprised them greatly.
Leshan and Qi Wei looked at each other and saw each other's surprised eyes, Cining Palace had been monitored by their people, and no one came to report that the Empress Dowager was sick before they came. And for so many years, they have been dealing with the Empress Dowager, but they know that the Empress Dowager has basically never been sick. The previous few minor illnesses basically had a purpose at all, either to pinch the emperor and let her serve the sick, or to show weakness to the emperor in order to achieve certain goals.
asked them to say that if the Empress Dowager had done the same strategy to her son Shunzhi, there would not have been such a stiff quarrel between mother and son. You must know that the Empress Dowager has always been arrogant in front of her son.
The temper of the former emperor is actually not bad, at most he is a little capricious, but the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was stunned to push her son far away, and the mother and son were separated. The existence of their secret guard is because the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang often inquired about the news from the emperor, and it can be said that the emperor sneezed, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang could know immediately. It is not to blame that the former emperor is not filial, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang even has to control where the former emperor goes to rest, and she can't wait to treat the former emperor as a puppet.
And now the saint's attitude towards the Empress Dowager has to be handled by them. Before, they always thought that the saint was just a face-saving favor for the queen mother, but now they see that the saint's attitude is clearly very respectful to the queen mother.
However, the original purpose of the birth of their secret guard was because Shunzhi wanted to monitor the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's every move. What they comforted the most was whether the queen mother interfered in the black material of the harem. When the time comes, who will the Holy One not necessarily believe?
Speaking of Kangxi's side, Kangxi ran to Cining Palace and saw the imperial grandmother lying on the bed, her face was pale and extremely worried. Hurriedly asked the imperial doctor next to him: "What's the matter with the Empress Dowager's illness?" How do I take my medication? ”
Then he saw Su Mala waiting by the bedside, and asked, "E, why is Huang Ma suddenly sick?" ”
Su Mala looked at Kangxi and stopped talking, Kangxi saw this and asked the little palace maid next to him, "You say, how did the Empress Dowager become like this?" ”
Seeing the saint asking like this, the little palace maid knelt on the ground in fright, and hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, it was the Grand Concubine Yijing and the Empress Dowager who were talking just now, and as a result, the Grand Concubine Yijing and the Empress Dowager quarreled, and the Grand Concubine Yijing lost her temper and walked away. ”
The little palace maid didn't seem to say anything, but her words clearly said that the eldest concubine Yijing made the empress dowager angry like this.
This made Kangxi even more angry, Concubine Yijing had always been disrespectful to the Empress Dowager before, but as an elder, Kangxi was not easy to say, but she didn't expect her to be so arrogant that she would make the Empress Dowager angry.
Emperor Kangxi then cut off his prince and imprisoned him in Shengjing, and ordered his son Bulni to take the title on the grounds that he had not made a pilgrimage for many years.
Kangxi was angry and was angry with Abu Nai, the eldest son of Yijing's eldest concubine, and everyone saw that Kangxi was angry, and the whole palace was out of breath.
After that, Kangxi ordered the imperial doctor to be treated, and Kangxi saw that the empress dowager's condition had not improved, so he ordered the concubine in the palace and the empress dowager to pray for blessings.
After some time, Kangxi saw that the Empress Dowager's pulse case had not improved, and the imperial doctor was vague, thinking that the Empress Dowager could not survive this hurdle, so he was so frightened that he postponed the draft again and served in Cining Palace day and night.
Kangxi has been busy serving the sick since the empress dowager fell ill, and even the secret guards left by his emperor Ama before forgot to investigate in detail. On this day, the imperial doctor said that the empress dowager had improved, and Kangxi remembered the affairs of the previous dynasty, so he went to the Qianqing Palace again.
