Chapter 358: Sober
Since Kangxi decided to take Su Malagu's life, it is impossible to delay it for too long, after all, it is better for him to deal with this matter cleanly than to wait until Mongolia to make a fuss.
The war between the Qing Dynasty and Dzungaria has just ended, even if it is finally victorious, there is a lot of consumption, although the Qing Dynasty is not afraid of war, but it can not withstand repeated consumption, after all, the Qing Dynasty was decided, Kangxi was in power, and what he needed most was to recuperate, not to provoke unnecessary fighting again.
Kangxi is not an aggressive person, he has always known in his heart when it is most appropriate to do something, otherwise he would not have today's achievements, let alone surpass the first emperor to become the master.
The queen mother has been looking forward to Kangxi, the emperor, to ask her for peace on weekdays, after all, the scenery she wants can only be given by Kangxi, but she understood this reason too late, Kangxi's tolerance for her has almost been consumed, if she hadn't chosen to stop at the critical moment, then now the harem is not only afraid of Su Malagu.
"Say hello to the emperor. Kangxi looked at the three or two kittens who came to ask for peace in Ningshou Palace, and there was no special reaction, after all, before he came to Ningshou Palace, his attitude towards the Queen Mother was not ordinary cold, and the concubines in the harem saw this, except for the specific day of the first fifteenth day of the new year, few concubines came to the door automatically at other times, and Ningshou Palace was no longer as lively as before, and most of the people who were willing to come up were not very favored or had no way to come up.
"The emperor doesn't have to be polite. "If it was before, the queen mother would definitely put up a shelf on this matter, but at this moment she didn't dare to have such a thought at all, she refused Su Malagu that day also had the intention of temptation, I wanted to see Kangxi's attitude towards Su Malagu and even Horqin, who knew that Su Malagu was bold and dared to assassinate the emperor, thinking of what Su Malagu was going to face next, the queen mother couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and secretly glad that she took a step back because of caution, which can be regarded as escaping!
Kangxi heard that the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, but he sat down next to the queen mother unceremoniously, and several low-ranking concubines present saw the smiling appearance on the corner of Kangxi's mouth, and they all wanted to come forward to show it, but unfortunately they only saluted, and Kangxi sent them away. Later, Kangxi did not beat around the bush and directly handed over the disposal of Su Malagu to the Queen Mother, which can be regarded as letting Su Malagu die as she deserved.
Assassinating the emperor is a big crime in itself, not to mention that Su Malagu has done so many disrespectful things behind his back, although Kangxi doesn't want to narrate them one by one, it doesn't mean that he won't give her the accounts one by one, after all, some people are too self-righteous and will always lead to unnecessary misunderstandings, Kangxi doesn't want to give Horqin anymore, or is it the illusion of the Mongolian tribes - he relies on them as before.
The queen mother didn't expect Kangxi to hand over this matter to her, and couldn't help but say with some embarrassment for a while: "Shouldn't this kind of thing be handed over to the concubine to deal with? The mourning family has not managed the affairs of the harem for a long time, and now they are afraid that they will provoke criticism if they intervene!"
Although the queen mother of Horqin didn't have much hope, she didn't want to cut them off, after all, she has always been Horqin's person, but she still wants to keep any glimmer of hope, after all, who can guarantee that she will not need them in the future.
Kangxi chuckled: "The emperor is polite, you are the master of the harem, even if you don't care about the affairs of the harem, you have the right to deal with this offender." Moreover, Su Malagu is Korqin's person in the end, even if I have favoritism in what she has done, the ministers of the clan do not agree, and let the harem concubines deal with it, and I am worried that they are not thorough enough, so I think about it, only the emperor is the most suitable for this matter. Since he has made up his mind to make Horqin's people have nothing to say, it is impossible for the Empress Dowager to push this matter out, it can be said that she is willing and willing, and if she is not willing, she must be willing.
The queen mother's face changed slightly when she heard this, she knew that the emperor could not be angry at all, I am afraid that the things they did would have been known to the emperor a long time ago, and the reason why the emperor did not pursue it was probably because he felt that these things were not worth his investigation, and Su Malagu made the emperor have to investigate it, and this result made the queen mother angry but had no compromise.
Kangxi's temperament, the queen mother, is actually very clear, but at the beginning, she always felt that Kangxi would be as indulgent as before, so she would toss hard, and when she found out that Kangxi would no longer indulge her like before, the mother-son relationship between them, which was not deep, had already been consumed. If she had happened sooner, or if she had a little more self-knowledge, she might not have been in this dilemma by now.
"Since the emperor said so, the mourning family can't come forward, since that's the case, the mourning family will try its best!" The queen mother said this, but she knew in her heart that she was afraid that she would not be able to do it, and she had to find a way to do it, after all, she took over this matter means offending Horqin, if she disobeys the yin and yang, I am afraid that it will not please both ends, so this matter must be done well.
Kangxi's eyelids moved slightly, and he took a sip of tea and said, "Then there is Emperor Lao's mother to worry about......"
"It should be, it should be, the emperor has every opportunity, and it is naturally good for the mourning family to help if he can help. The Queen Mother hid the reluctance in her eyes, and pretended to be relaxed and assured.
Kangxi wiped away a trace of disdain from his eyes, and said respectfully: "This is the mother of Emperor Lao." As long as the queen mother is duty, Kangxi doesn't want to touch her at all, after all, too many Mongolian concubines have died in a short period of time, regardless of their status, it will have a bad impact, and he doesn't want to cause unnecessary disasters because of this kind of thing.
The queen mother looked at Kangxi's respectful appearance, and knew in her heart that as long as she didn't cross the line, she would always be the queen mother who was on top, and on the contrary, Su Malagu's fate would be her end. Knowing this, the Queen Mother didn't dare to bargain with Kangxi anymore to think about what benefits, and she actively waited for Kangxi to leave, and then directly asked people to take things to the Shen Criminal Division. The so-called long nights have a lot of dreams, no one can guarantee that it will drag on any longer, whether there will be any changes in this, in order not to get into trouble, she better deal with the matter quickly.
Kangxi didn't care whether the queen mother was in a hurry or not, he summed up the matter in the harem and handed it over to the queen mother to deal with, but he didn't want to pull out other things. Although the queen mother complained a little that Kangxi didn't think about herself, she also knew that she couldn't shirk this matter, but in other words, as long as she didn't throw the face of the royal family and Horqin on the ground, no matter what the final result of this matter was, presumably both parties would not count the matter on her head, after all, what she is doing now is famous!
The Empress Dowager, who comforted herself, finally took over the matter, as for Su Malagu, the Empress Dowager thought that she was not indebted, after all, she had reminded her before this, if the emperor was really so easy to deal with, how could the Empress Dowager fall. Maybe many people will blame Concubine Zhao for the fall of the Empress Dowager, but after the Empress Dowager figured it out, she clearly knew that the whole thing was actually involved in the emperor.
To put it bluntly, the women of this harem are born dependent on the emperor, their life and death, honor and disgrace are closely related to this man, she herself has never tasted the taste of favor, and she can keep all this because of authority, but even so, she lives in the shadow of others like a mouse in the gutter, and she will not be at peace for a lifetime. It's those who are favored, if it's just because of their beauty, it's just that, and when they are old, that's it, but Concubine Zhao is different, she is the person on the tip of the emperor's heart, she seems to have suffered a lot of grievances, but these are nothing compared to them who are not favored, and in the end, the emperor didn't help find it back.
She is really envious!
It's a pity that she can't get it no matter how envious she is, and she just hopes that she can meet a man who has her in her heart in the next life.
"Mama Qiao, let's see if the emperor has sent anything back, if so, let's pack up and leave, we can't let Aunt Su Mala wait. "The Empress Dowager has always been pragmatic, otherwise how could she always retain the position of the queen, or even the queen mother.
"Queen Mother, let's go over like this, let's not talk about Horqin's side, let's just say that those concubines in the palace, I'm afraid they will all have thoughts about the Queen Mother!" Qiao Mama was still very glad in her heart that the Queen Mother made the final choice, otherwise they would be the ones who would face death at this time, but even so, they still couldn't completely escape, at least after doing this, the Mongolian forces in the harem were basically dispersed.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Mama Qiao, and sneered, "Do you think that the mourning family will have no idea if they don't go this way, when Su Malagu came to the door, the Mongolian forces in the harem have been dispersed, and those who are willing to follow Su Malagu to make trouble will not end well, haven't you noticed? The emperor came over this time, his attitude was very perfunctory from beginning to end, and there was no trace of respect. ”
"The Queen Mother's ......"
"Forget it, the mourning family understands in their hearts that the mourning family is still under the influence of the empress dowager, and thinks that Horqin is standing tall and that the harem of the Qing Dynasty is in our hands, so they do whatever they want, but they forget that the harem of the Qing Dynasty always belongs to *, not to Horqin. The Empress Dowager and Su Malagu didn't understand their lives, so they died one by one, and the mourning family lived well, so they stayed, so Mama will understand it in the future, this harem is no longer the harem of the past, and the mourning family is no longer the queen mother with infinite scenery in the past. The Queen Mother waved her hand, her mind had never been as clear as it is now, "Okay, let's go, do what needs to be done, let's close the door, live our own lives, and don't get involved in the rights and wrongs outside." ”
"Yes, Queen Mother. Mama Qiao looked at the queen mother's appearance of being several years old in an instant, and felt uncomfortable for a while, but she also knew that this was the best result, otherwise they would have to disappear with the Mongolian forces in the harem in the end.
