Chapter 262: Please ask Concubine Zhuang to avoid suspicion
"If the Qing Dynasty relies on these, it will only attribute the fault to a weak woman's minister to support the government, and then the country will also be ......"
"Yu'er!"
Zhezhe scolded angrily and interrupted Yu'er's nonsense: "You can't bear your sister, but you can't be crazy or stupid, and you can't talk nonsense, do you hear it?" ”
Da Yu'er weakly climbed down from the couch, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed deeply: "Aunt calm her anger." ”
Zhezhe said angrily: "Why are you sarcastic about me, get up quickly." ”
"Auntie...... Aren't you uncomfortable? Da Yu'er fell to the ground and asked in a muffled voice, "It's been almost twenty years, what kind of feelings does my aunt have for the emperor and us?" ”
"I only have responsibility, responsibility to the emperor, responsibility to you and your children, and to Horqin." Zhezhe replied coldly, "The emperor came to Horqin to marry me, and the moment he held my hand, my joys, sorrows, and sorrows were gone. ”
"So my aunt wants me to be like this, too?"
"What do you think?"
Of course not, Da Yu'er straightened up, knelt on the ground, and looked up at this amazing woman.
My aunt asked her to persuade the emperor to let go of her sister and let her go to the imperial tomb to pick him up and go home, which was obviously something that my aunt could do by herself, but she pushed it all to her.
It's not for him, my aunt just hopes that the relationship between Da Yu'er and Huang Taiji can turn around, and after the eighth elder brother dies, their relationship will get better, right?
"Auntie, I will serve the emperor well, take care of him and comfort him, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do what you want." Da Yu'er was very calm, "Could it be that when my sister leaves, I can snatch those feelings that I think belong to me, but I have never gotten before?" No way, they never belonged to me. ”
"Yu'er?"
"Auntie, I am the woman of Huang Taiji, the imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty, and the Gege of Horqin, I also know my responsibilities, and I still have children." Yu'er was in tears, but her expression was firm, "I know what I should do, the blow caused by my sister's death after a long illness may not be as big as the sudden death of the eighth elder brother." I'll get better, I won't be slumped, aunt rest assured. ”
"Auntie hopes that you will be healthy and live a long life." Zhezhe stretched out his hand to support Yu'er, "If you say that, my aunt will be relieved, lie down, your body is not well." ”
Back on the couch, Zhezhe covered Yu'er with a quilt and asked, "What did you say when you saw the emperor that day?" You suddenly fainted, but the emperor woke up, and he shouted loudly to the imperial doctor to let them save you. ”
Da Yu'er lowered her eyes and was silent.
Zhezhe continued: "The emperor has always cared about you, and when you were born and blessed, you had a difficult birth, and the emperor asked for ...... three times."
"Auntie, don't say any more." Da Yu'er ruthlessly interrupted Zhezhe's words, her heart was as hard as a stone, "That day, I told him that he ruined all my happiness. ”
Zhezhe Huoran got up, glared at Yu'er in shock, and shook his head: "Yu'er, you can't say this to the emperor, you can't." ”
But she said it, word for word, and said it clearly to Huang Taiji.
Outside Shengjing City, in the main hall of the imperial mausoleum, the incense on the mourning platform of Concubine Chen continued.
Except for the first day when the ministers of civil and military affairs came to mourn, these days they were only allowed to go to the bottom of the steps of the main hall, and worship and mourn at the bottom of the steps, and no one could enter the mourning hall of Concubine Chen, and there were only the emperor and the futon under him in the hall.
The only person who could come in and say a few words to him was Yatu, who took the place of Niman and the palace maids, serving his father's soup, medicine, tea, and meals.
But it wasn't until a few days later that Huang Taiji found out that his daughter was by his side, no wonder he was not irritable, and he didn't reject what was sent to his mouth at all.
"Huang Ama." At this moment, Yatu came in with a cloak, put on a warm coat for her father, and said, "Zu Kefa and Zhang Cunren, the Governor's Court Counselor, are asking to see you at the foot of the main hall. “
"Are they here to urge me to return to the palace?" Huang Taiji asked.
"Yes." Yatu knelt beside her father, a thirteen-year-old girl, like her mother's temperament, and said calmly, "Huang Ama, can you send them away for you?" ”
Huang Taiji looked at his daughter and held Yatu's hand in the palm of his hand: "Good boy, Yatu, go back to Horqin, you are now the princess of Horqin, and Horqin also needs you." ”
"Brother Biertahar said, I want to stay in Shengjing for a few more days, now Eniang's health is not good, you can also ......" Yatu said unfinished, "Huang Ama, everything is fine in Horqin, don't worry." ”
When she looked up, she saw that the bundle of incense in the censer was about to burn out, so she got up and asked for incense, and after bowing, she went to the back to wipe the coffin for her aunt, but begged to be spotless.
"Yatu, how is your mother's body?" Huang Taiji asked.
"E-niang has a fever and is awake." Yatu walked over and lifted the veil and walked out, "Is there anything Amma has anything to command?" ”
Huang Taiji shook his head: "It's nothing." ”
Seeing that his father was about to get up, Yatu came forward to help, Huang Taiji's body was weak, and his daughter supported him like a cane, which made him extremely sad, he was old, completely old.
"Where are you going?" Yatu asked.
"Amma wants to go to the mountains and have a look." Huang Taiji calmed down, cheered up, and walked out of the hall step by step, but before leaving, he looked back again.
The white silk fluttering on the mourning hall, the cigarette curling, and the trance saw Hai Lanzhu coming out from behind the spirit curtain, he was tense, but a gust of wind passed, the smoke dispersed, and there was nothing.
In the past few days, Yatu has often seen her father's expression, and she fell into despair in an instant after looking forward to it, but she couldn't do anything, and the emperor's mother told her not to say too many words of comfort to her father, and it was enough to take care of everything for him.
"Let's go." He took his daughter by the hand, walked out of the main hall, and walked to the foot of the mountain, and raised his eyes to see the steps that stretched to the sky.
I don't know when the mountain became so high, the steps became so steep, Huang Taiji stepped on the first step, and he felt the weight on his knees.
I saw Yatu running to the side of the tree, tall she, jumped up and broke off a branch, poked it on the ground, took out her own handkerchief to wrap the top, ran to Huang Taiji, and handed it to him with both hands.
Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "Yatu, Ama is old, isn't he?" ”
Yatu said: "When your sons grow up and get married, of course you have to be old, this is the law of nature." The same is true of life and death, my aunt often said that you must live well, you don't know anything when you die, and your relatives will not be reunited in heaven. ”
Huang Taiji looked at his daughter in a daze, this is what he once said to Hai Lanzhu, in order to prevent her from seeking death, he casually told her that he would not see the old man if he died.
He didn't have time to tell Hai Lanzhu that they would definitely meet again in the future, he didn't have time to tell Hai Lanzhu to ask her to wait on Huangquan Road.
Tears filled his eyes, Huang Taiji sighed, leaned on the crutches his daughter made for him, climbed the steps, step by step, although it was slow, in the end it was also to the top.
Looking at the majestic mountains and rivers, I used to look forward to passing this land to the eighth elder brother, but I couldn't realize it, and I was looking forward to bringing Hai Lanzhu away from this sad place, but it was also broken.
The cane in his hand was dug deep into the dirt, and he thought in his heart, if they were destined to separate, why should they meet......
"Huang Ama." Yatu helped his father and asked, "If you don't have the Qing Dynasty on your shoulders, are you going to go with your aunt?" ”
Huang Taiji said: "It's really your mother's daughter, and it's your mother and daughter, who dare to say such things to me and dare to think of such strange thoughts." ”
"Amma, is it?"
"Really? yes......"
"But the country is on your shoulders, and Fulin is still so small." Yatu said, "Huang Ama, would you like to go to your aunt in a few years?" ”
Huang Taiji frowned and looked at his daughter, and tapped lightly on her forehead: "Let your Huang Eniang hear this, your ass is going to suffer, don't mention it again, do you hear?" ”
"The emperor's mother is not here, even if she wants to beat me, you will protect me." Yatu said proudly, "Huang Ama, this is our whisper, you tell me, I won't say anything." And when you say it, your heart will be open, no matter what, there are still girls in this world who know your heart, can understand you and understand you. ”
Huang Taiji said: "Ama can't do this, if Ama can do this, he won't know that your aunt is sick, and he won't return to Shengjing for a long time." Amma can't let your aunt become a red face in the world's mouths. If national affairs are biased, they can't scold the emperor, they can only humiliate the emperor's favorite woman. ”
"Did you say this to E-Niang?" Yatu asked.
Huang Taiji looked at Yatu, there were no words, what is the point of saying it, Hai Lanzhu has passed away, if Yu'er hates herself, she can relieve some pain, then hate it. She has such a delicate and clear heart, how can she not know the way of the emperor, she understands everything.
But thinking like this, Huang Taiji couldn't help but smile bitterly, he would always treat Yu'er unfairly like this, and always take it for granted that she would figure everything out by herself.
After this day, it rained for two days in the autumn rain, and in the bleak rain, the north wind blew, and the weather was suddenly cold, and it was about to enter winter.
Da Yu'er wore a windbreaker, walked through the Phoenix Tower, walked through the study in the backyard of the Chongzheng Palace, and saw Fu Lin reciting loudly with his head held high from the window.
Listening to the nurses, Brother Jiu was very well-behaved, looking at the miserable white palace that day, he asked what happened, and when he heard that his aunt was gone, he pursed his lips with tears, and he didn't cry after all.
"This kid, has he grown up, why didn't he cry?" Da Yu'er held Su Mala's hand and walked towards the Chongzheng Palace, "Still frightened, holding it in my heart and not expressing it?" ”
Su Mala said: "The slave maid remembers, Da Gege said to Brother Jiu that a man can't shed tears easily, he can only cry in front of his mother Amma, and he can only cry in front of his aunt and sisters. ”
"Su Mala, do you say that Fu Lin understands what life and death are?"
"Seems to understand."
Approaching the Chongzheng Palace, the emperor's table was almost submerged by the folds and military reports, Da Yu'er took Su Mala, sorted out the folds in different categories, picked out the important things, and ordered someone to send them to the imperial mausoleum immediately.
Hearing that Sonny was still in Beijing, he ordered someone to invite him, and asked who was in charge of the palace guards now, and saw the tall and mighty Aobai.
The people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate learned that Concubine Zhuang Niangniang saw the military generals of Wenchen in the Chongzheng Palace, and hurried to remind Da Yu'er that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and Da Yu'er responded to them indifferently: "Just pack up some books, pen and ink, and greet the families of several adults." ”
They stood in front of the door, bowed down and said: "Having said that, the Chongzheng Palace is the emperor's place to deal with the government, and the harem is not allowed to trespass, and I also ask Concubine Zhuang to avoid suspicion." ”
When the emperor went on the expedition, Yu'er and Su Mala came to take care of the Chongzheng Palace, and they didn't see anyone to do anything, what were you afraid of at this time, and you wanted to deliberately ask her about it?
"What do you want to avoid?" Huang Taiji's voice suddenly came from outside, everyone unconsciously avoided it, and several ministers were excited when they saw the emperor returning, "Your Majesty, you have returned to the palace!" ”
Huang Taiji walked straight to Da Yu'er and asked in a cold voice, "Have they embarrassed you?" ”
Da Yu'er shook her head: "The adults just said some greetings to the concubines, and the emperor heard it." ”
Huang Taiji looked at them: "Don't be stunned, notify the civil and military officials, and return to the early dynasty tomorrow." ”
"Long live my emperor...... After they bowed, they retreated one after another, and after leaving the Chongzheng Palace, several adults whispered to each other, "If we treat Concubine Zhuang like this, will she tell right and wrong in front of the emperor?" ”
I saw Sonny coming up from behind the crowd and said coldly: "I told you not to do much, you have to go and advise, how can Concubine Zhuang interfere in the government without authorization?" It's just a matter of tidying up some household chores. ”
"Lord Sony, look at Concubine Zhuang's ......"
"Put your heart in your belly, Niangniang has a big heart, and she is a woman with great wisdom." Sonny said, "Let's go, there's still a lot to do." ”
In the Chongzheng Palace, Huang Taiji looked at the mountains of court affairs, sighed, and turned to look at Yu'er: "Help me sort it out." ”
Da Yu'er asked, "Has the emperor's body recovered?" ”
