310 The Scourge of Tyranny (Three Watches

The bronze wall built by the Fucha family for the queen collapsed, and it did not make the Fucha family collapse, and when everyone waited to see the Fucha family go lonely from this, they had already sobered up from their grief and began to plan for the future of the family.

They found out that the palace maid who died of illness in Ningshou Palace had gone out of the palace to visit relatives last year, she contracted smallpox in the palace and died, and someone in her family also died of smallpox at the same time. But at that time, there were eight elder brothers and little princesses with chickenpox at the same time, and Liyun from Qixiang Palace died of malaria, and it must not be a coincidence that various diseases appeared at the same time.

Ruyin said to Hongyan that she listened to the meaning of the eldest lady and several other sisters-in-law, and the Fucha family must support another prince, long before the queen gave birth to the seventh elder brother, on the one hand, they stabilized the queen's throne, and on the other hand, they had already coldly selected among the princes. So if the queen really had nothing to do at that time, which elder brother to choose to support and support was not something that the queen alone could say, in other words, the queen at that time wanted to wait for Hongyan to have another child by her side, but in fact, it also depended on whether the family nodded or not.

Now for the Fucha family, the significance of finding out the real murderer is only that they don't want to support the wrong person, and they will naturally try their best to make the possible murderer pay, but more importantly, it is necessary to select the most suitable and excellent prince to ensure the wealth and glory of the Fucha family for generations to come.

At present, the eldest brother and the third elder brother are heavily blamed by the emperor, and the pure concubine is implicated, even if the sixth elder brother has a future future, the people of the Fucha family will not be eye-catching, and then look at those in the Qixiang Palace, the fourth elder brother is too honest, the eighth elder brother is still young, and the most helpless thing is that the mother is really a person who can't support the wall, and she will not expect the one in her stomach. In this way, only the fifth elder brother is the most suitable, the biological mother Concubine Yu's personality and background are remarkable, Fucha Li Rongbao once worked as an errand in the Li Fan Academy, and has a close relationship with the Mongolian steppe, and Concubine Yu's mother and son are indeed the most suitable candidates.

But even so, the people of the Fucha family did not dare to rush for quick success, knowing people and faces, but not hearts, in case Concubine Yu secretly did something for her son's future, wouldn't they support the enemy's children, how to be worthy of the queen's undead.

Ruyin's words, Hongyan frowned tightly when she heard this, she knew that Concubine Yu was not that kind of person, but if she really did big things, she couldn't be negligent, Ruyin even said that even Hongyan was the object of suspicion, and the Queen Mother was within the scope of the Fucha family's investigation, Hongyan didn't care that the people of the Fucha family suspected him, which was also human, but she was shocked that the people of the Fucha family could reach so many places, she asked Ruyin: "The people of the Fucha family do these things, will the emperor know?" ”

Ruyin was also confused: "This is their business, but I don't know about the others, Fu Heng I understand, he has always adhered to the duty of the king as a minister." Sister don't worry, the people in the Fucha family are very measured. ”

There are very few people who know about this matter, and Hongyan will not mention it to the emperor, and now that the palace has finally passed the most panicked time, everyone wants to take a breath and rest, and they dare not cause trouble. And Concubine Jia was about to give birth, and the people of the Jin family sent her a new palace maid, Concubine Xian didn't care about it, Concubine Chun couldn't take care of it, Concubine Jia insisted on asking this person to replace Liyun, Concubine Yu couldn't resist her, she was too lazy to disturb the Queen Mother for the sake of a palace maid, so she relied on her.

However, Concubine Yu told Hongyan that Concubine Jia's birth is not optimistic, it is not easy to keep it, and I don't know what will happen in the future, in Concubine Yu's opinion, Concubine Jia has two sons, and in such a dangerous state where the mother and son are under threat to their lives, why do they have to be forced, and later she understood that Concubine Jia took a fancy to the emperor's love for the little princess, and she also wanted to give birth to a daughter wholeheartedly, so as to win the emperor's love.

Concubine Yu said: "The life is hers, and the child is also hers, so it is not something we can control." ”

However, these days, the peace is only the harem, and it is said that Concubine Yu had asked Hongyan to discuss whether she could say a few good words for the prince Hongday, this matter has just begun, in April, the emperor read the empress book made by the Hanlin Academy, and found that the word "imperial concubine" was accidentally translated into "the first empress dowager" in the Manchu translation, Hongli was furious, and Actun, the secretary of the criminal department, was handed over to the criminal department for punishment. Seeing that the emperor was angry, other officials of the Criminal Department increased the punishment and planned to hang him.

But the emperor was still not satisfied, and blamed the party of the Criminal Department for favoritism and deliberate leniency, and even questioned the whole court of the Criminal Department, while Acton discussed the crime according to the "great disrespect", beheaded the prisoner, and executed him after the autumn. Such a severe punishment shocked people's hearts and spread to the harem, and even the concubines knew that the emperor had changed.

During the reign of Yongzhengye, the politics were strict, and he showed no mercy to his siblings, and being an official under the emperor was always a matter of carrying his head, and even General Yue Zhongqi, who pacified Dajinchuan, would be questioned by the first emperor about his loyalty, until Hongli ascended the throne and applied benevolent governance, the emperor acted calmly and gently, and the relationship between the monarch and the royal family was greatly improved.

But the death of the empress, as if the emperor's gentle and calm personality was taken away from the body, less than a month, the whole country mourned, built a large number of buildings, punished officials, and even his own son was not spared, the emperor mourned the former empress in every way, so that the ministers who were accustomed to the emperor's "good talk" saw the other side of the emperor, and they were in fear all day long.

The relatives and nobles were worried that if the emperor continued like this for a long time, he would lose the support of the people and cut off the bonds of the monarch and ministers, so they went to Ningshou Palace to admonish the queen mother. When has the queen mother experienced such a thing, what she is not good at is dealing with relatives and old ministers, and those old princes also seem to look down on her from the bones, the queen mother is just a concubine who took care of daily chores around the former emperor, how can it compare to the bearing and wisdom of the mother of the queen of filial piety.

Seeing that the Queen Mother's side didn't work, there were few complaints, and the Queen Mother couldn't show her incompetence because of this, so she simply let the emperor go, he was just mourning his deceased wife, and those officials were also to blame, so they didn't intend to exhort the emperor to relent.

On this day, Concubine Yu went to Ningshou Palace to ask for peace, and he and the prince were fined for another year, although the palace did not expect that money to make a living, but who knows if the next time it will be a hit.

It was obviously a mistake of the Hanlin Academy, but it was the criminal department Shangshu who carried the black pot, and these eight poles could not be beaten together, and the emperor actually punished him heavily because he only found the criminal department Shangshu at that time, which is incredible when you think about it. How can Concubine Yu not worry about her son, only the Queen Mother can say a word or two at the moment, she has to pull down her face and beg.

The Queen Mother was unhappy about these things, and when she met Concubine Yu who took the initiative to send her to the door, she had to reproach: "How many times have I told you to teach Hongday well, but you have always been spoiled and indulgent, and how many messes have you cleaned up for him over the years, you don't discipline Hongday now, let him be an errand boy, and come to find a way back for him." He just relied on himself to rely on you to have something to eat, so he didn't want to be motivated. ”

Concubine Yu touched her nose, but she really couldn't help it for her son, so she cried and begged: "If you say a word to the Queen Mother, the emperor will take care of brotherhood, and the concubines will not ask for any future for Hongday, and he can save the lives of the concubines on Amitabha." ”

was reproached by the Queen Mother: "What you said is Hongli like a tyrant who kills people without blinking?" ”

Concubine Yu bent her knees in a panic and said, "How dare the concubine say this, is there anyone more gentle than the emperor in this world?" That day, the concubine saw the emperor talking to Concubine Ling in Shoukang Palace, Concubine Ling smiled with crooked eyebrows, and the emperor took good care of her, as if the former emperor and Empress Xiaojingxian were in the past, and every word and deed was sincere in it. ”

When the Queen Mother heard Concubine Ling, she frowned, and asked quietly: "Are they talking in Shoukang Palace?" ”

Concubine Yu hurriedly said: "In the two days when Concubine Wenhui was not in good health, the emperor and Concubine Ling came to Shoukang Palace before and after, and when the emperor left, they talked under the eaves, and the concubines saw it really well. I thought ......" she secretly glanced at the queen mother and said, "I thought that the queen was dead, and the emperor had no smile, although I saw the emperor that day, although I was not smiling, but I was in a very good mood, as if I was with Concubine Ling, there would be no worries." ”

"That's enough." The Queen Mother sighed heavily, of course she remembered the back of Hongli holding Hongyan's hand and leaving that day, and she was convinced of Concubine Yu's exaggerated description, and said with hatred, "How could she not laugh, the queen is gone, the emperor is her alone, she has to laugh in her dreams." ”

And the queen mother was even more annoyed, the emperor was so harsh and harsh to the ministers of civil and military affairs, the imperial family, which made all the officials panic, but he was as gentle as ever towards women, it can be seen that he is not sad to lose the queen and change his temperament, but Wei Hongyan has the ability to make the emperor still treat her gently.

"Since you also know that the emperor has a good face for Concubine Ling, why don't you ask her to say a few words for you." The Queen Mother said coldly, "Since Concubine Ling often goes to Shoukang Palace, it is easy for you to meet her." ”

Concubine Yu thought to herself, if she told the Queen Mother that she had begged for a concubine but failed, at this moment these words would be suspected of instigation, it would be better to follow the Queen Mother's thoughts to coax her to be happy, the people she hated were also hated by herself, and the Queen Mother would feel that she was on her side, and it would be much easier to do anything.

"After those past few things, there are no more concubines in the eyes of Concubine Ling." Concubine Yu said prostrately, "The concubine is just a concubine left by the first emperor, how dare you ask for today's favorite concubine." ”

The Queen Mother said angrily: "The three outlines and five constants in this palace are for the sake of the word 'favorite concubine', and it is all reversed?" She called out to the palace people, "Go and invite Concubine Ling to come, I have something to ask her to help, if she refuses to come, then I will go to Yanxi Palace in person." ”

turned around and said to Concubine Yu: "The emperor likes her so much, now only she can help you." ”
