Chapter 702: The Sins of the Qing Court
Seeing that Yuan Xi was thoughtful, Yu'er asked, "Do you think I'm too strict with Xuan Ye?" ”
Yuan Xi hurriedly said: "How can it be, Eniang." I think ...... What would I do without you, I can't think of anything, even if I had the heart. ”
Yu'er said: "I couldn't have imagined that he had taught me in the past 18 years. Although I couldn't teach him well, he taught me how to raise an emperor. ”
Yuan Xi lowered his eyes: "The temperament of the first emperor is not bad, but it is not suitable to be the emperor, I once said to Dong E's family, the emperor gave all his patience to Concubine Jing." ”
"Meng Guqing almost reversed Fulin's entire heart, and even at the beginning, if I didn't agree to abolish the queen and forcibly leave Meng Guqing behind, there would be a different result, but unfortunately there was no if." Yu'er sighed, "Meng Guqing is in Shengjing, and right now, she doesn't know that Fu Lin has died." ”
"How is she doing?" Yuan Xi's eyes were full of helplessness and regret, Meng Guqing was not a heinous person who killed people and set fires after all, but it was a pity that his whole life was over.
"Except for not being free, everything is not bad, but she herself, like depressed, is not very good." Yu'er said, "You see, in this world, there are all kinds of unfairness. Those who live well can't escape the calamities, and some people can survive no matter how much they are tortured and suffered. Namu Zhong is still alive, she is not crazy now, and I no longer let people abuse and abuse her, she is living better than before. ”
"It's your kindness." Yuan Xi said.
"It's hard for you to hold back these four words." Yu'er sneered, "Isn't it that I'm cruel? ”
At this point, Yuan Xi was very firm: "If she hadn't killed the eighth elder brother, everything would have been different, Taizong might still live a long life, and Fulin would not be the emperor, and you ......"
But as he spoke, Yuan Xi couldn't go on.
"I can't imagine it." Yu'er said, "Even if you imagine it, it is also illusory beauty, although I would rather everyone live, but for more than twenty years, what if Huang Taiji changes his mind and disappoints my sister again?" ”
She shook her head, picked up the tea bowl, took a sip slowly, and sighed: "In this world, what you can never get is the best." ”
The palace maids came to deliver melons and fruits, and the wind brought in from outside the door was warm and a little impetuous.
Yuan Xi gently stroked the broken hair on her sideburns, looking at the bright sunshine, she knew that midsummer was coming, year after year, this time and the four seasons, never stopped for anyone, the past is over after all.
Compared with the years when he fought against Zheng Chenggong, this summer can be described as comfortable and reassuring, and the only thing that worries Yu'er is that Fuquan practiced wrestling despite the scorching heat and fainted from heat stroke.
Yu'er guarded her grandson for two days, but fortunately, he quickly recovered and became lively again, Yu'er's heart was put down, raising such a big grandson, and if there was any mistake, her heart would be broken.
Also for this matter, Concubine Ning saw that the Empress Dowager treated her son no different from the emperor, and let out her unwilling and impatient heart.
In this way, although Xuan Ye is young and useless in the court, the inner palace is at least under the control of Yu'er and Yuan Xi, and there is no internal trouble. After the abolition of the Thirteen Yamen, the power returned to her and the empress dowager of the two palaces, curbing a certain degree of corruption and bribery, and the court was properly controlled.
And the rules of Jingyunmen's room duty, Fu Lin's practice of sending scholars to join the company for convenience at that time, were followed by Yu'er, so that she could keep abreast of what was happening in the world every day.
Externally, the four auxiliary ministers relied on their power in the court to curb the rebellion of the Eight Banners, and Yu'er had already planned to abolish Fulin, even if their strength was clear.
She pushed out the four auxiliary ministers to sing black faces, entertained relatives and daughters in a friendly manner, and occasionally said that it was not easy for orphans and widows, Yu'er knew that those princes and Baylors were not convinced that the Qing Dynasty was ruled by women, in this case, she restrained her light, let go of her strength, and followed their wishes.
"He grows up and can reign in the world alone." Yu'er once said to Su Mala, "There is no need to pick up those majesty and light again, and from then on, I will hide behind my grandson and enjoy glory and wealth." ”
All these ideas are good, but the women in the palace are easy to control, and the royal family can also coax them with their hearts, but things in the world are changing rapidly, in addition to natural disasters, there are also man-made disasters, and the most terrible greed in the world.
On the day of the first snow in the capital, something happened in the officialdom of the capital.
Ao Bai took over a case in his hand, Zhuang Tingyan, a wealthy businessman in Nanxun, Zhejiang, in order to leave a name in history, funded the recruitment of literati and talents, and revised the unfinished "History of the Ming Dynasty" by Zhu Guozhen, a literati at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
This book was issued in the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, but it was not circulated among the people on a large scale, and most of the people were given by Zhuang Tingyan and put it on the shelf, and did not study it in detail.
I don't know how, let a villain named Wu Zhirong, who had been dismissed from his official position in a lawsuit, read this book, and saw that the book was dedicated to the Southern Ming Hongguang, Longwu, and Yongli Emperors as Zhengshuo, and used the era names of Yongli and other dynasties to denounce the Ming Dynasty as a rebel, and even called Nurhachi a "slave chief" and the Qing soldiers as "Jianyi".
This is a taboo for the Manchurians, a taboo for the imperial court, he went around in Nanxun, all parties extorted complaints, but Zhuang's wealth was abundant, and the joint did not make him successful, Wu Zhirong was annoyed and ashamed, and went north to the capital with the first draft of the "History of the Ming Dynasty", and a case came to the front of Aobai.
Ao worshiped in the court, recited the rebellious words in this book, and was furious, and he should be strictly investigated and investigated, and never tolerated.
At first, Xuan Ye also understood that he could not be merciful to the forces that opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and he was not yet in power and had no right to be the master, but then the situation was out of control, and a text-prison set off a bloody storm, and he finally realized how terrible Ao Bai was.
In the first year of Kangxi, the news came from Zhejiang, except for the Zhuang family, all those who wrote the preface to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", proofreaders, and those who carved, sold and collected books were all executed, and the living were slaughtered, and the dead were exhumed and crushed, which was extremely cruel.
On this day, Xuan Ye's expression was tense, and he hurried to Cining Palace in the snow, and saw Fan Wencheng discussing with the Empress Dowager in the study.
Mr. Fan's health is not as good as before, his legs and feet are not good, his grandmother gave him to enter the palace to sit in a sedan chair, who knew that Ao Bai ridiculed, saying that since he couldn't walk, he didn't have to enter the palace, so Mr. Fan would definitely come on foot even if he wanted someone to support him and walk for most of the day.
When Xuan Ye saw Mr. Fan, half of the impetuousness on his body disappeared: "Sir, it's snowing outside, and after a while, I will order someone to send you out of the palace on my shoulder, there is no need to taboo some people's gossip, is their words more important than my will, the will of the Empress Dowager?" ”
Fan Wencheng and Yu'er glanced at each other, and Yu'er said, "Xuan Ye, what's wrong, you have fire in your heart." ”
Xuan Ye asked: "Imperial grandmother, do you know about the case of Zhejiang's "History of the Ming Dynasty". ”
