Chapter 154: The Edict of Guilt
After Prince An left Beijing, he did not let the matter of the seventh elder brother's illness calm down, and there was only such a group of officials named Yushi among the ministers who always liked to jump up and down at such times to prove their existence.
The official position of the imperial history was a civilian secretary at the beginning, and later became the supervision of the imperial history, which is equivalent to the boss of the procuratorial organs at all levels. Originally, these people were supposed to be under the jurisdiction of Kangxi himself, but due to the unstable situation, the factions and party strife of the officials led to the unclear arrangement of the powers of these people, and slowly these people began to set their sights on the harem and the minister's back house in order to show their existence and functions, and slowly turned into a persuasion-based approach.
Of course, this so-called exhortation is just a way for them to gain a position, for example, there are loyal ministers and traitors, and there are direct ministers and ministers, everything has two sides, and naturally the content of their exhortation is good and useful. Like now, their original intention was not to go against Kangxi, but sometimes in order to highlight themselves, they knew that they would anger Kangxi, but they still used the matter of the seventh elder brother to get ahead.
No matter what their intentions were, it is undeniable that they did get ahead of the beginning, and by the way, they also pitted Prince An, who had returned to the army. After all, there must be a reason for the royal affairs, and if you can't find the reason for the incident, you can only pull the world, or even sprinkle salt on Kangxi's wounds.
There is a way that wealth moves people's hearts, and this interest is just as moving, after all, few people can refuse the benefits sent to the front.
At the beginning, these people's words were quite tactful, and they just wanted a reason, a reason that could make them take the lead, as long as this reason could force Kangxi to take a step back, it would follow their wishes, but no matter how good their plan was, Kangxi himself was unwilling to cooperate, and there was a conflict between the two sides.
If there is a conflict, there will inevitably be a contradiction, and since these people dare to fire at Kangxi, they are determined to make some gains.
Kangxi knows the purpose of these people, not to mention that he is angry in his heart, even if he is in a good mood, he may not be as they wish. He can't take Prince An for the time being, can't he take a few imperial histories? As long as everything is not too much, he has always turned a blind eye to them, but these people actually dare to shout loudly for him to make him guilty, then he will definitely not be too polite to these people!
What is the edict of self-infliction? That is a manifestation of the emperor's immorality, but why should he bear all this, if it is his problem, he bears it, but if it is someone else's problem, he will never bear the burden on himself like a fool.
If it was in the past, according to Kangxi's idea of becoming a generation of benevolent monarchs, he would definitely not deal with these imperial histories in a big way, but unfortunately Kangxi held his breath in his heart, this breath has been held since Prince An left Beijing, originally Kangxi thought that he would endure until he disposed of Prince An, but he didn't want a few imperial histories to forget his identity for a little fame, jumping up and down without saying anything, and trying in vain to make him make an edict against himself, which is simply a dog's heart.
Kangxi looked at these people coldly, sneering in his heart, but he was lightning fast when he started the fire, he didn't give these people a chance at all, and he directly killed the other party as soon as he made a move!
"Since I am the king of virtue in your eyes, then I will let me see what the real virtuelessness is!" Kangxi's cold voice resounded throughout the Qianqing Palace, and those ministers who still had ideas in their hearts and wanted to take advantage of this would not dare to make a mistake when they saw Kangxi being so tough.
Kangxi's angry handling of the imperial history did not surprise Yunxi, according to her understanding of Kangxi, it is not Kangxi's true color to sit back and wait for death, even if he wants to be a Ming Jun, it does not mean that he will let others climb on his head. Moreover, if you want to deter those with ulterior motives, bloody means cannot be avoided. It's just that I didn't expect that there are so many people who are not afraid of death, knowing that Kangxi is angry because of the matter of the seventh elder brother, but he still dares to pull the tiger's whiskers for the sake of profit at this time, which is in response to the saying that people die for money and birds die for death.
Such a result does not have much impact on Yunxi, but those officials who dispose of it, if there is no female dependents in the harem, it is fine, if there is, according to Kangxi's urine nature, I am afraid that this life will be like this. Who said that the emperor is broad-minded and doesn't hold grudges, Kangxi, the emperor, is a very grudgeful person, otherwise why do you think Wei Changzai is so favored and has no chance of promotion, it is not because she doesn't know how to advance and retreat Kangxi so that he has a grudge.
To put it bluntly, the emperor is also a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires, even if he suppresses the anger in his heart for the sake of the overall situation, it does not mean that he will always endure and wronged himself.
This time the incident was completely because these imperial histories were in a hurry for quick success, and they jumped up and down without figuring out the matter, and even touched Kangxi's bottom line, how could Kangxi swallow his anger and go along with their wishes. However, situations like this are rare, after all, Kangxi just wants to shock these people and expose the fact that the seventh elder brother was born with illness.
Fortunately, the royal family also has a spectrum in their hearts, and others don't know the reason, but they know in their hearts that the seventh elder brother's illness is not Kangxi's lack of virtue, but Prince An's secret calculations. If they really watched Kangxi being forced to make an edict by these unknown imperial histories, then Prince An would not be the only one who would be unlucky in the future.
As for the seventh elder brother, no one splashed dirty water on his little child, plus Kangxi's heavy heir, no one dared to treat him harshly because he was born sick, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.
Of course, since Kangxi is ashamed of the seventh elder brother in his heart, and thinks that he is too lax to cause him to be implicated, he will definitely give him a certain amount of favor, it can be said that as long as the seventh elder brother does not die and mixes with those things that should not be involved, he will not be anything else in this life, and the identity of a prince is stable. And the seventh elder brother in the previous life was really good, and Kangxi also used him very much in the later period, from this point it is not difficult to see how high Kangxi's requirements for his sons are.
Yunxi secretly wondered in his heart whether he wanted to help his son smash the Lala relationship as soon as possible, but thinking that the eldest brother was only a seven or eight-year-old baby now, and his own son was just a little milk baby, he felt that this matter could actually be let go again. After all, although the identity of the little elder brother has not changed completely, according to Kangxi's attitude towards Wei Changzai, she is afraid that this eighth elder brother will vote for another master, no, it should be someone else!
Now there are not too many favored concubines in the harem, but there are also a lot, Wei Chang has been leading, attracting the eyes of many people, and he has been troubled in private, but it is a pity that the current Kangxi is no longer as merciful and cherished as before, and the servants are returned to the bed, and the preferential treatment is canceled cleanly; , Yuan Guiren and others, not to mention the number of servants, but they can barely be equal, and no one is better than others.
Although this is basically the case, there are also many concubines who grab the opportunity to sleep once or twice in the cracks, no matter how lucky they are, there are always people who can succeed, otherwise how can there be more and more concubines in the low-ranking positions of the harem. To put it bluntly, Concubine Hui is not the only one who can see it, and others also know how to support newcomers according to Kangxi's preferences, but Kangxi is no longer like before, and for a while, he broke the path of many palace maids.
Yunxi's fingers unconsciously tapped on the table top of the kang table, the thoughts in her head kept tumbling, and all kinds of thoughts swirled in her mind. There were really too many things happening during this time, everything seemed to be reversed, and Prince An left suddenly, she always felt that this matter would definitely not end like this.
Of course, she didn't believe in Kangxi's ability, but she was worried that Prince An would have other actions, after all, there were too many concubines in this palace who wanted to take the throne, and Concubine Yi took the lead by taking advantage of the relationship, but this did not mean that Prince An had no contact with other concubines, or even secretly arranged other plans. Ever since she got the matter of Concubine Hui and Concubine Dai Jia from Prince An's Mansion, she felt a little uneasy, and felt that this matter would definitely not end so simply.
Just as she hated the people of Prince An's Mansion for harming her, she thought that the people of Prince An's Mansion would definitely splash dirty water on her, thinking that it was she who made them get into such a situation, but they forgot the truth that those who hurt others must harm themselves.
Anyway, this matter has come to this point, and Yunxi doesn't want to fight for what is right or wrong or win or lose, after all, compared to the calculations of Prince An's mansion, the old lady of the Empress Dowager is more troublesome, her mind is deep, her suspicion is heavy, and she has a red heart towards Horqin. Although Wei Chang is now in the way, this is not a safe way, she has another way to divert the suspicion of this old lady, after all, according to the power of the Empress Dowager, Yunxi really doesn't want to have a head-on conflict with her until the point of last resort. It's just that Yunxi's thoughts and thoughts seem to be contrary to the Queen Mother, it can be said that as long as she still wants to climb up, and she still wants Kangxi's favor and children, it is to do it against the Queen Mother.
Don't look at the fact that Kangxi is angry and shocks the ministers, and there are Yi Concubine and others in the harem who are implicated by Prince An to attract attention, but as long as Yunxi takes another step on the basis of the present, it will break the existing balance of the harem, and even if Kangxi protects him, Yunxi will still become the biggest target of the harem.
Being favored is indeed jealous, but for the women of the harem, pampering is not the only one, it can be said that the concubines of the harem want to have heirs more than pampering. This is not to say that Kangxi is not attractive, in fact, Kangxi is still an attractive man in addition to the identity of the emperor, which can be seen from Yunxi's repeated temptation to him. And the concubines in the harem, no matter why they entered the palace, in the final analysis, for Kangxi, the emperor, no, it should be said that this man has some ideas, but these ideas may not have had time to be realized, and the reality is bruised.
Compared with the longed-for and unattainable favor, it is obvious that the heirs can give them a stable life, at least when Kangxi sealed the harem, the chances of promotion between concubines with heirs and without heirs are completely different. Thinking back to the harem concubines in the previous life, as far as Yunxi knows, most of the concubines who can be concubines have an elder brother's body, and no matter how bad they are, they have given birth to Gege, as for the concubines who have no children and the concubines who have given birth but have no children, they want to go to that point, either the family background is big enough, or they are loved by Kangxi, otherwise there will not be much change in this life.
With such an idea, Yunxi, whose family background can only be regarded as ordinary, can only bury her thoughts about Kangxi in the depths of her heart, after all, she needs to stand firm more than her affection, otherwise her life will be gone, and who else can she pay for that friendship.
Just thinking about it, Mama Xu walked in from outside, saluted and leaned into Yunxi's ear, whispered a few words, and then stood aside and said softly: "Niangniang, there is something that the old slave can't get right, and ask Niangniang to make a decision?"
