The Old Summer Palace is in the north of Changchun Garden, about 40 miles away from Xizhimen. It was originally built in the 48th year of Kangxi, and it was originally a garden rewarded by Kangxi before Yongzheng ascended the throne.

Yongzheng is afraid of heat and cold by nature, there is a large sea in the east of the garden, the name is also auspicious, called "Fuhai", it is convenient for Yongzheng to issue an edict in three years, and the Old Summer Palace is the place to listen to the government in spring, summer and autumn. Outside the garden is divided into the court office, there is a "bright and upright" hall inside, and on the east side of the main hall, there is a "diligent government and pro-virtuous" hall, the south of the garden has added the cabinet, the six departments, the military aircraft department and the duty room, the royal to "avoid the noise and listen to the government".

Li Wei and the others walked all the way until they reached the side of the road at the gate of the Great Palace, and then turned over and rode down. The three of them had already seen Su Peisheng and Zhao Hontian, two eunuchs, with more than a dozen little Su Lannei attendants holding their lamps and looking at the south with their eyes piercing. The two of them hurried forward with a throw of the slow rope, and Ortai asked, "Where is the emperor now?" ”

"At the Apricot Blossom Spring Pavilion." Su Peisheng agreed, only holding the glass lamp and walking forward, but no longer spoke. Ortai opened his mouth and swallowed the words back. Li Wei suddenly felt a sense of foreboding that a major event was coming, and he didn't have time to change his mind, and he had already seen the three old and young princes of Zhuang Yunlu, Prince Bao Hongli, and Prince Yi Hongxiao welcoming them to the entrance of the palace, all of them with blue faces. The three of them hurriedly knelt down to ask for peace, and said, "Long live summoning the ministers and others into the palace late at night, I don't know what important things to face?" ”

"It's a meeting of the three princes of ours, and in order to prevent the discussion from being shocking, we have specially summoned you here." Yunlu said slowly, word by word, he has always been very fluent, and he didn't know how many times he thought about this sentence before saying it. Seeing Li Wei, Ortai, and Zhang Tingyu stunned at each other, he said in a heavy tone: "Long live the Lord has already mastered the guests - you can come in and take a look." We haven't moved anything here. ”

After hearing this, Li Wei only felt that his legs were weak and his body trembled, and he glanced at Ortai blankly, and saw that his face was also snow-white like a ghost--they didn't dare to say anything, and they didn't dare to think about anything, so they tiptoed into the hall like a thief, and were immediately shocked by the wood carving clay sculpture.

Next to the high threshold is a pool of blood, along the speckled blood stains forward, a female corpse is displayed underground, her eyebrows are frowned, her beauty is like life, only the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, and her face is full of tears, as if she had cried before she died. She had wounds on her chest, but no blood spots on the ground. There was nothing else in the temple that was in trouble. Only one seat overturned to the ground, and there was a purple-red pill on the plate on the table, which could be identified at a glance as the "Nine Turns of Returning Pill" refined by Taoism, about the size of a walnut. The scene in front of the couch is even more amazing, Yongzheng Shang is stiff on the couch, there is a knife wound in the heart, and the front of the couch is dripping with blood stains, coagulated into blood scabs.

Several people looked down at the emperor who had received him with a smile that day, as if in a dream, and saw that his eyebrows were full of horror and anger, his lips were slightly purified, as if he was still talking before he died, and his eyes were closed on his smiling face.

Li Wei tried his best to hold his breath and calm himself. When I looked closely, I saw Yongzheng's left hand clenched, but he didn't dare to break it, took a candle, lit it, and saw that he was holding a longevity stone lock in his hand. The group was frowning and groaning, and Ortai exclaimed softly on the side of the case: "Youju, come and see!" Li Wei hurriedly walked over with a candle, only to see a few blood words written on the Qingyu case:

"Don't make it difficult for this woman, bury her!"

Zhang Tingyu and Ortai are both powerful ministers who serve Yongzheng every day, and Li Wei is an important minister in the hidden palace, and it can be seen at a glance that this handwriting is indeed the last handwriting of Emperor Yongzheng to dip his fingers in blood!

"This-" Ortai muttered softly, and when he looked at Zhang Tingyu, Zhang Tingyu gritted his teeth and shook his head: "Don't say anything." As he spoke, he pointed his finger at the elixir and said nothing. And the three men looked at each other and went out of the temple together. Zhang Tingyu said to the relatives and nobles who were standing outside the hall like fools: "Please come into the hall to talk-Su Peisheng guards this door, and no matter the palace guards, they are not allowed to eavesdrop." ”

The three princes entered in turn, then the imperial front and the military aircraft, and then a group of important ministers such as the Minister of the Interior. As if afraid of alarming the dead, he bypassed the female corpse and cautiously followed to the southwest corner of the temple.

Zhang Tingyu's eyes danced faintly in the candlelight, and he said for a long time: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone must have taken a closer look at the situation here, it is obvious that this palace concubine killed the king. But the emperor is benevolent and righteous, and there is already a blood edict that is not allowed to be difficult. Therefore, not only can the matter not be investigated deeply, but also cannot be publicized. ”

He said, his tone had become extremely grim, "We are all people who have read a lot of historical books, and this is the critical moment for the safety and survival of the society. Tingyu thought that the first priority was to obey the last order of the first emperor, and went to the Qianqing Palace in the starry night to dismantle the edict of the throne, and the new monarch was on the throne. Otherwise, there may be a disaster! ”

Yunlu listened and said, "What the prime minister said is extremely true. However, the edict was read out according to the routine, and all the kings and Baylor should be summoned, should they be notified separately, and they would gather in the Qianqing Palace to announce the edict at dawn? ”

"It can't be like this." Ortai's face was so cold that it seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, "This is an extraordinary change. There is also the right to the rites, and now it can only be followed. Now the main hall of the Xinghua Pavilion has been sealed, and the eunuchs and palace maids are not allowed to enter and leave here with the guards. When the new monarch is positioned, everything will be handled according to the will. ”

A group of relatives and noble ministers, Prince Zhuang took the lead, followed by Prince Bao, and quickly left the Old Summer Palace and went straight to the Qianqing Palace. It was not until early in the morning that the group entered the Forbidden City.

Passing through the northeast corner gate of Wuying Palace, from the west side of Hongwen Pavilion, passing through the Longzong Gate into the Heavenly Street, from the main gate of Qianqing Gate along the Yongdao to the north, I saw the brilliant lights of His Majesty Dan from afar, and eight guards of Qianqing Palace with knives stood on Danqi like nails. Sixty-four red candles coiled around the thick golden dragon were lit in each direction in the hall, and twelve eunuchs hung their hands in front of the golden and green Sumeru seat.

A group of pro-noble and important ministers lined up in five rows under the Danqi of the Qianqing Palace - the first two rows are the pro-nobles and the imperial front, the third row is the military aircraft, the fourth row is the governor of Shangshu and the feudal officials, and the remaining officials only stand in the fifth row.

After kneeling three times and bowing nine times to the main hall, Zhang Tingyu and Ortai immediately let the head of the guards on duty check the gold medal.

"On the orders of Emperor Yongzheng," Zhang Tingyu said calmly, "The prime minister of the cabinet led the ministers of the interior to go to the study, and the ministers Zhang Tingyu and Ortai together with the guards of the Qianqing Palace opened the edict of the throne, and I admire this!" ”

The edict is stored behind the "Zhengda Guangming" plaque in the Qianqing Palace. This is the method set by Kangxi in previous years, and the proposed successor secret book and gold book will be stored here. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he issued an edict to "write as a permanent example".
