Chapter 344: Movement of the Court

Kangxi's decision set off a wave in the harem of the former dynasty, but anyone who is a little sensitive knows that the last words of the empress dowager before her death completely angered Kangxi and the people who were loyal to the emperor at the beginning.

At the beginning, the courtiers of the first emperor headed by Tu Hai finally abolished the queen mother who killed the first emperor, because the queen mother was the biological mother of the first emperor and the grandmother of the current emperor. They also can't be aggressive.

But this does not mean that they have no knots in their hearts about the Queen Mother. Before she died, the Empress Dowager said that she would be buried next to the first emperor, which could be regarded as igniting the anger in the hearts of these people. So they had no objection to Tu Hai's suggestion to Kangxi.

Speaking of which, I would like to introduce the composition of these courtiers who were loyal to Emperor Shunzhi, after Shunzhi ascended the throne, the young son of heaven had some ambitions.

During Shunzhi's reign, he used Han officials multiple times, not blindly favoring Manchus, so there were indeed many Han officials under Shunzhi, such as Fan Wencheng.

But the edict before the death of Shunzhi made these people fall into the abyss, the edict is called the edict, it is actually a guilty edict, the edict ** lists fourteen sins, mainly because of the failure to comply with the ancestral system and gradually stained the Han customs, and the reuse of Han officials caused the Manchu ministers to have no intention of doing anything, almost completely negating the most glorious achievements in his own life.

And the announcement of this edict made the courtiers promoted by Shunzhi before, especially Hanchen, have no hope for the future because of this edict.

The authenticity of this edict is highly questionable. In addition, the queen mother was informed before the edict was announced, and Wang Xi, the main drafter of the edict, was also tight-lipped about it afterwards.

Therefore, the courtiers loyal to Shunzhi were very suspicious that this was an edict drafted by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang in the name of the emperor, but there was no evidence.

And these people gradually eased up as Tuhai took the boat Kangxi, and they also had a place in the court. However, due to the fact that Kangxi has now compromised with the Manchurian clans and clans, these Han officials still do not have a high status in the court, but they are also much better than before.

And Tu Hai, a Manchu who was promoted by Shunzhi, because there was no big clan support behind him, he had no complaints about Shunzhi's vigorous suppression of those Manchurian clans and clan forces, so he also got closer and closer to the Han officials, as evidenced by Tu Hai's friendship with Fan Chengmo.

It is also because of the death of the Empress Dowager, these people feel that the time has come, and they have written to impeach people related to the Empress Dowager, but they are also obedient, plus there was Tuhai's warning before, they only pointed the finger at those small minions who were not particularly important, and there were only a few innocuous impeachments of the core figures.

Kangxi should have been angered by the attitude of the Empress Dowager, and his attitude towards these impeachments is to investigate and deal with all relevant figures, so it can be said that the court is not calm at all for a while.

When this turmoil intensified, Tu Hai entered the palace again to meet Kangxi and persuaded Kangxi to stop.

Tu Hai's intention made Kangxi a little surprised, and asked, "Why did Aiqing persuade me?" Kangxi thought that Tuhai should be the happiest person to see it.

But Tu Hai had a serious face, and said to Kangxi: "If the emperor is not ready to react to the affairs of the three feudatories, the servants will naturally not persuade the emperor, after all, the power of the empress dowager is all over the court, among which the Manchurian nobles are involved in many people, if there is any war with the three feudatories, it is necessary to rely on these people, what decision should the emperor make, but he must think twice!" ”

Kangxi was shocked when he heard this, looked at Tuhai and asked, "Aiqing knows my thoughts?" Doesn't Aiqing think I'm whimsical? ”

Tu Hai smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "The slave doesn't know what the consequences of the emperor's actions will be, but the matter of the three feudatories is urgent, the slave has something to report to the emperor today, the slave heard that Wu Sangui privately sent someone to contact Wu Yingxiong's father and son, although I don't know why Wu Sangui did this, but at this juncture, it is really not allowed for the slave to think too much!" ”

Kangxi was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked: "This Wu Sangui has not been in contact with Wu Yingxiong's father and son in private once or twice, why is Aiqing so jealous at this time?" ”

Tu Hai smiled bitterly, knelt down directly and asked for sin: "Please also ask the emperor to forgive the sins of the slave, and the slave dares to speak." ”

Kangxi saw that Tu Hai was so frightened that he wanted to directly ask for guilt, and the expression on his face instantly became much more serious, but he would not treat Tu Hai's crime because of some illusory charges, and hurriedly ordered Liang Jiugong to step forward to help Tu Hai up, and then said: "What Aiqing said next, I won't blame, Aiqing can say it!" ”

Tu Hai got up tremblingly, and then said: "Please also ask the emperor to be honorable, this time the slave found out that Wu Sangui contacted Wu Yingxiong and his son and his son was actually the big butler of Prince Gong's mansion, before that, the person who monitored Wu Yingxiong's father and son never said that there was such a channel between them, and the slave had to suspect that Wu Sangui was going to jump off the wall in a hurry, so he used the closest channel to contact Wu Yingxiong and his son to do something?" ”

Tu Hai's words shocked Kangxi, "Prince Gong's Mansion? Changning! ”

Hearing this, Tu Hai affirmed Kangxi's answer and said: "It is the big housekeeper in Prince Gong's mansion, and the slave does not dare to startle the snake, so he can only report to the saint first to make a decision." ”

Kangxi's brows furrowed, obviously not believing that his younger brother Chang Ning would get involved in such a thing. And Liang Jiugong, who was on the side, was also frightened when he heard such a secret, so he only dared to stand aside.

However, Liang Jiugong also thought of another thing, and hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, Wu Yingxiong's concubine was accepted into the palace by Prince Gong!" ”

Kangxi's eyes sharpened, stared at Liang Jiugong and said, "What the hell is going on?" How come I don't know? ”

Liang Jiugong was frightened by Kangxi's eyes, and he didn't dare to delay Kangxi's big event, so he hurriedly said what he knew, "Your Majesty, Lord Wu is not a banner person, so his concubine did not participate in the draft. So it's understandable, Your Majesty, that you don't know.

As for why Lord Wu's concubine entered Prince Gong's mansion, it is said that when Prince Gong visited the eldest princess of Jianning, he saw Lord Wu's concubine in the backyard, and when he fell in love at first sight, he asked Lord Wu for the Wu family.

This Wu family is also said to be quite popular with Prince Gong, and the status of the Wu family is not low, so it is almost the same in the palace. But I don't know why, Prince Gong didn't have the heart to ask the emperor for a position for the Wu family! It is said that it was the Wu family who persuaded Prince Gong and did not want Prince Gong to make the emperor unhappy because of this! ”

Kangxi instantly understood when he heard this, and sneered: "Chang Ning, this guy is obviously a beauty, and he hasn't reacted yet!" That Wu said that he didn't seek a position, not because he was afraid that I would pay attention to her, but this Wu Yingxiong was cunning! ”

Tu Hai also suddenly realized when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "The slave didn't expect that there would be such a joint, it was the slave who misunderstood Prince Gong, and asked the emperor to forgive him!" ”

Kangxi heard Tu Hai's plea, and hurriedly said: "Aiqing doesn't need to say that, Aiqing is an important minister of the court, how can he always pay attention to the backyard of the palace?" ”

Hearing this, Tu Hai said ashamedly: "The slave almost wronged Prince Gong, how dare he say that he will get away with it!" And the queen mother, the slave also makes it difficult for the queen mother! ”

Kangxi heard Tu Hai mention Yun Yao, and was stunned for a while before thinking that in order to deepen Yun Yao's authority as the queen, he deliberately tied Yun Yao and Chang Ning together, and put Chang Ning's eldest daughter next to Yun Yao to raise her.

Thinking of this, Kangxi was also a little embarrassed, but seeing Tu Hai's lonely look, Kangxi couldn't blame Tu Hai, after all, Tu Hai didn't even consider the situation of the queen's niece for his business, how could he, the emperor, cross the river and tear down the bridge!

Kangxi thought of this and comforted: "This matter is at the bottom of the matter, and Chang Ning's fault is indispensable, and it is not deliberately framed by Aiqing, I will not blame Aiqing, I will also explain this matter to Chang Ning for Aiqing, Aiqing doesn't have to worry, and the queen will not blame Aiqing if she wants to!" ”

Tu Hai breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Kangxi's assurance, and then said to Kangxi: "The slave is old and doesn't do things well, thank you for not punishing the slave!" ”

Hearing that Kangxi was more satisfied with Tu Hai, as a courtier, Tu Hai didn't look arrogant at all, Kangxi naturally liked it, so he praised Tu Hai a few more words, and Kangxi let Tu Hai go back!

When Tu Hai was sent to the door by Liang Jiugong, Tu Hai took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then thanked Liang Jiugong: "Thanks to Liang Gonggong for explaining the situation of Prince Gong's mansion to the emperor, otherwise the old man would really make a big mistake of dividing the emperor's flesh and blood brothers!" ”

When Liang Jiugong heard this, he also sympathized with Tu Hai, and then sighed: "Alas, if your lord had asked the slave about the situation of Prince Gong's mansion before, and then came to report to the emperor, he would not have made such a mistake!" ”

Tu Hai could only smile bitterly when he heard this, and said: "It's also that the old man is anxious, but this news is too shocking, and the old man didn't react for a while!" ”

Liang Jiugong was stunned for a while before he understood what Tuhai meant, and the adult on the other side of the relationship was worried that Prince Gong had some bad intentions, so he asked Wu Sangui to be an ally!

Liang Jiugong's first reaction was that Tuhai's idea was really strange, but the next moment, Liang Jiugong couldn't help but gasp, speaking of which, Prince Gong is the emperor's younger brother, if he really unites with Wu Sangui, then he can't really pull the saint off the horse.

Thinking of this, Liang Jiugong was completely stunned, and Tu Hai saw Liang Jiugong's stunned expression, he didn't know what he was thinking, and hurriedly called, "Father-in-law Liang, father-in-law Liang?" ”

Liang Jiugong reacted under Tu Hai's call, and hurriedly responded: "The slave was thinking about serving the Lord of Long Live just now, but he didn't react to what the Lord said?" Please forgive me! ”

Tu Hai waved his hand when he heard this, and said: "The old man doesn't have anything to do, but it's not too early, so the old man will retire first!" Father-in-law Liang doesn't have to send it anymore, hurry up and go back to serve the emperor! ”

Liang Jiugong was not polite to Tu Hai, and hurried back to the Qianqing Palace after a salute. And Liang Jiugong didn't see the smile in Tu Hai's eyes behind him.
