Chapter 327: The Situation in Mongolia
Cining Palace
The Empress Dowager, who returned to Cining Palace, finally put away her face that had been forced in front of outsiders just now, and lay down on the couch with a tired face under the service of Su Mala.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager's face was pale, Su Ma Lama hurriedly said, "Master, what's wrong with you, the slave and maid are going to call the imperial doctor." ”
Su Mala was about to leave and call someone to ask for a doctor, but the Empress Dowager shouted: "Stop! ”
Hearing this, Su Ma Lama looked back at the Empress Dowager and said hesitantly, "Master? Obviously a little surprised by the Empress Dowager's words.
The Empress Dowager coughed a few times and continued: "Don't call the Imperial Doctor! ”
For the Empress Dowager's orders, Su Mala naturally did not dare to disobey, but Su Mala still persuaded: "Master, your body is important!" The emperor will definitely be worried if he finds out! ”
The Empress Dowager shook her head with difficulty, showing a hideous expression on her face, but the expression did not last long, and the Empress Dowager said with some discouragement: "I'm afraid that the mourning family is dead, and few people will remember the mourning family!" ”
At this time, Su Mala also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly remedied: "Master, don't think like this, Horqin still has to rely on you to support you, you can't fall!" Slave beg, let the Imperial Doctor take a look! ”
The Empress Dowager did not change her mind about Su Mala's plea, and then just sighed and said: "That's it, let the medical lady of Cining Palace show the mourning family, at this time, if the mourning family summons the imperial doctor, I don't know what words will come out of this palace!" ”
Regarding the Empress Dowager's concession, Su Mala was very pleased and said: "Master, the slave and maid will let people call the medical girl!" ”
Seeing that he had worked hard and finally persuaded the Empress Dowager, Su Ma Lama naturally found a medical woman without the slightest delay, for fear that the Empress Dowager would regret it for a while.
After some hectic turmoil, the medical girl cultivated by the Empress Dowager herself in Cining Palace stopped talking with an embarrassed face, obviously the Empress Dowager's body had made her helpless.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager waved her hand to let the medical woman retreat, and Su Mala screamed sadly when she saw this, crying: "Master! ”
The Empress Dowager could only sigh helplessly in the face of such a Su Mala, and said: "Life and death are fate, and the immortal heaven wants to take away the mourning family, what can mortals do?" ”
Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager's expression was sharp, "The mourning family only hates why they listened to Manzhu Xili's plea for mercy in the first place, and didn't send her to Fulin!" ”
Su Mala was shocked when she heard this, for her in the mouth of the Empress Dowager, Su Mala naturally knew very well who the Empress Dowager was talking about, and naturally it was the Empress Dowager who had been abolished by Kangxi.
Speaking of which, Kangxi really set a precedent in this matter, this should be the first queen mother in history to be abolished, there are so many deposed queens, but the deposed queen mother is really the only one.
For this matter, Su Mala had secretly complained about his master, and the queen mother dared to murder the king of a country, but her master even let her go. Although Su Mala is very close to the people of Horqin, compared with the former emperor, the abolished queen mother does not have the weight to make Su Mala eccentric, after all, the former emperor was also watched by Su Mala to grow up.
However, Su Mala found that in the correspondence between his master and Horqin, the Empress Dowager had assassinated the first emperor, and it was very likely that someone in Horqin had intervened.
If this incident had been allowed to happen back then, then Horqin would have fallen into a place of no return, and even Su Mala thought that in the face of this situation, he would only make the same decision as the Empress Dowager.
Su Ma Lama could only comfort the Empress Dowager and said, "Master, she has received retribution now, you don't have to be sad for her!" ”
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she snorted coldly and said, "What you said is light, and you have received retribution!" Why did she want to find death, why did she pull the mourning family and Horqin, just because of her, Horqin has now become a lost dog, and there is no peace! ”
And Su Mala has feelings for Horqin in the end, so he defended the Empress Dowager, "If Tuhai hadn't started this time, Horqin would not have fallen to this point, and the Empress Dowager should not be blamed for it!" ”
can make Su Mala, a good old man in the palace, say bad things about Tuhai, which is enough to show how much Su Mala is angry with Tuhai.
And when the Empress Dowager heard Su Mala say this, she felt that Su Mala was really unenlightened, so she glared at Su Mala angrily, and said: "The mourning family has worked hard to win over Tuhai for Horqin, just to leave a guarantee for Horqin in the future, if it weren't for her audacity to harm Fulin, how would it be like this!" And Tuhai originally had a lot of respect for the mourning family, but because of her, Tuhai gradually became alienated from the mourning family, and Horqin has now fallen into a place where there is almost no return! Are you still quibbling for her?
And this time, if she hadn't been in power again, how could she be so easily caught by Tu Hai, to mourn the family, her restless attitude, even if Tu Hai didn't find her, sooner or later, she would have killed Horqin! ”
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was furious, Su Ma Lama didn't dare to say anything more! However, he still had a grudge against Tuhai in his heart, which is not difficult to understand for Su Mala, after all, it was Tuhai who caused Horqin to fall to this situation.
Don't look at Su Mala's gentle temperament, but this doesn't mean that she is a saint, people's hearts are biased, even if she knows that Tuhai has her own hardships, Su Mala still can't help but resent Tuhai.
And the Empress Dowager, who saw this scene, just pretended not to know, what the Empress Dowager thought was actually the same as what Su Mala thought, if it weren't for the current situation, she would never let go of Tuhai so easily, but now Horqin can't tolerate a trace of turmoil, and only by enduring humiliation can Horqin get through this difficulty.
The Empress Dowager is a woman after all, women are cautious, if she can, the Empress Dowager can't wait to knock Tuhai into the dust, but now the situation does not allow it.
The queen of the palace is Tuhai's niece, if you want Horqin's power not to be cleared out of this palace, it is very necessary to bow her head for the time being, and Horqin will always get a better chance to rise again in the future!
The Empress Dowager is very clear about the current situation in Horqin, after Concubine Jing was abolished by Shunzhi, her eldest brother Wu Keshan's status has fallen greatly, and the one who is in charge of Horqin has become Manzhu Xili, the grandfather of the abolished Empress Dowager, her youngest brother.
And now that the Empress Dowager has also been abolished, I am afraid that the branch of Manzhu Xili will also follow in the footsteps of Wu Keshan, and the Empress Dowager is naturally very worried about this.
As for Cheng Cobalt, who was passed under Concubine Jing's son, the Empress Dowager never thought of counting on him. Now it is Horqin who is worried that the royal family will abandon Horqin in order to grasp the last straw, so he is ecstatic about the succession of cobalt.
But the Empress Dowager sneered at this, and for Kangxi, the grandson she taught single-handedly, the Empress Dowager knew very well that Xuan Ye would never let Cheng Cobalt get close to Horqin, but would isolate them, and it was even possible to impose the hereditary prince position of Horqin on Cheng Cobalt, but in this way, Horqin would have nothing left!
A prince who is nominally related to Horqin in Mongolia is of no use to Horqin at all, but will let the emperor use the name of Concubine Jing to let Cheng Cobalt inherit everything from Horqin. The Empress Dowager saw this clearly.
And the Empress Dowager's purpose is to support a person in Horqin who cannot be ignored by the emperor, so that he can break the shrewd calculation of his grandson.
At that time, even if the emperor wants to use Cheng Cobalt to control Horqin, he can't bypass it.
In fact, there is a reason why the Empress Dowager will show favor to Yun Yao, on the one hand, the Empress Dowager also looks at Yun Yao differently because Yun Yao's grandmother is the daughter of Sonomu. Sonomu is her cousin, and Sonomu died young, leaving only Yun Yao's grandmother and her younger brother Burigude.
Hari Gude, who has a close relationship with the empress, is the candidate chosen by the empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager found out from Yun Yao's habits a few days ago that Yun Yao was particularly affectionate to Buri Gude, and the gifts she gave to Buri Gude could be almost the same as the other two. This had never happened before, after all, Sonomu was not her sibling.
Now the Empress Dowager can only hope that Burigood can make the Empress support him to gain a firm foothold in Mongolia, and even if Korqin's power is transferred from the descendants of her siblings to the descendants of Sonomu, she will admit it!
At that time, Burigude, who had a close relationship with the queen, took control of Horqin, and she didn't believe that the queen would be willing to let the concubine born after the abolition control Horqin.
As a result, a conflict between Tuhai and the empress and her good grandson was inevitable, with the empress's support on the one hand, and the emperor's own son, Cheng Cobalt, on the other. The situation at that time can be imagined.
This kind of conflict can make this seemingly stable queen no longer valued by the emperor, an empress who is not trusted by the emperor, the empress dowager does not believe that she can have any good end.
Of course, if the queen has her own means and can let her children succeed to the throne, the queen mother will not be disappointed. At least the empress still has Korqin's blood in her body. It's just that it all depends on the queen's own means, she has already gone to accompany His Majesty Sejong by then, and she doesn't want to care about it anymore!
And the Empress Dowager also believes that Tuhai is a meritorious minister, and her good grandson will not let him start and finish well, and he can't say that Tuhai will become the second Ao Bai in the future! In this way, it can be regarded as a sulk for her!
The Empress Dowager is not an open-minded person after all, and at this time, her death is approaching, even if she is temporarily reconciled with Tuhai, it is just an appearance.
As Tu Hai thought, even if the Empress Dowager is about to die, she will not be a powerless person, and she will definitely suffer a loss in the future!
Of course, for Yun Yao's purposeful closeness, the Empress Dowager has nothing to be reluctant to, at least this can paralyze Tu Hai and make Tu Hai think that she showed weakness and admitted defeat before she died, which is also good.
And if the queen is really a manufacturable material, she will not be stingy with that little thing. The queen also gave birth to her great-grandson!
