Chapter 34: My Family's Sons and Daughters Grow Up (2)
Unlike Yinzhen's spring breeze, the prince has been frowning recently, and the eldest brother has also been discouraged. Reading the book // Kangxi directly reprimanded Mingzhu in the edict, Suo Etu was in the same position of the government, formed a party for personal gain, was good at power, and was extremely greedy and extravagant. With Suo Etugui as a national relative, he didn't think about repaying his kindness and did not cultivate morality, and was dismissed and deprived of his post by Kangxi. Although Mingzhu escaped a catastrophe, he was inevitably taken away from the errand of the minister of the guard, demoted to three levels, and fined for two years.
Investigating the source, Yinzhen can see it clearly, it is nothing more than Suo Etu borrowing the name of the minister of the study, forming a party according to the party, and cultivating the prince's power, which deeply aroused Kangxi's taboo. The most unbearable thing for Kangxi was born in August last year. At that time, the comet appeared in the sky, and the tail was more than two feet long, Kangxi ordered the kings and ministers to discuss the things that should be done, and asked the governors of all places to discuss the same discussion. Unexpectedly, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the DPRK and China were immediately divided into two factions, each with Suo Etu and Mingzhu, and the two factions were at loggerheads and attacked each other.
The Mingzhu faction wanted to get rid of the soldiers recruited by various places to fight against the three feudatories, but the Suo Etu faction strongly opposed it, for the simple reason that there were not a few troops in the Suo Etu faction, and Suo Etu strongly advocated handing over all the green battalions on the Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu lines to Zhou Peigong. Suo Etu's abacus is finely played, it is not what Zhou Peigong said before his death in Hesheri, and there will be no second elder brother's crown prince today, this move is not stingy with the merit of supporting. Since it was supported at the beginning, it will be a supporter of the crown prince now, with military power in his hands, he can attack and retreat, and Zhou Peigong has made immortal achievements, and he should not be rewarded, Suo Etu guessed that he must have resentment in his heart, so he repaired a letter to ask Zhou Peigong to prepare to take over the green camp army of the three provinces, contact the provinces and provinces to be familiar with each other and the governor to sponsor him, and also made an appointment with the people of the DPRK and China to immediately echo it. Reading//
Suo Etu's mind pearl is not unreasonable, he will not sit idly by and watch the prince's power expand, so he also recruited a group of people, spread rumors, criticized Zhou Peigong, and even found the Sichuan general soldier Longqing, who interfered a lot in Sichuan's military affairs during Zhou Peigong's tenure in the Department of Political History, and impeached him on the table.
After Yinzhen heard about this from Gu Badai, he was deeply disturbed. He knew that with Kangxi's personality, he categorically could not tolerate such a party-forming thing, not to mention the military power involved. Kangxi is in the prime of life, on the side of the couch, how can he allow others to sleep soundly, the prince is young, if the palace changes, Suo Etu, as the prince's uncle and grandfather, is also the minister of the study, the prime minister for more than 10 years, hundreds of protégés, ascending and shouting, isn't it another worship.
It's just a pity that Zhou Peigong, a generation of talents, actually became a victim of political struggle. Yin Zhen knew at this moment why the ancient ministers had no good end. Sure enough, Kangxi was very angry when he saw Longqing's performance, and he actually made it in front of the court, if it weren't for Nuo Min saying a car of good things for Zhou Peigong, so that Kangxi also had to look at the face of the dead Tuhai and put it high, Zhou Peigong would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being locked up and taken into Beijing and tried in Dali Temple. Rao is like this, and Zhou Peigong was also reprimanded for taking office.
After that, Suo Etu did not accept the lesson, still in private, how could these tricks be hidden from Kangxi, not long after, Suo Etu's younger brother, the first earl Xinyu was absent from several court meetings, Kangxi pretended, named and asked Etu to come up with punishment opinions, Suo Etu was not clear, only mentioned a year of fine, talk about a thin punishment, just gave Kangxi a truth, the two brothers were unlucky together.
Although the prince was silent about this, Yinzhen could perceive it, and the prince must be indignant in his heart. In May of this year, Kangxi returned to the palace with the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager Borzigit has been in poor health all these years, Kangxi is very filial, especially in the suburbs of Beijing Yuquan Mountain to choose a good hot spring for his imperial grandmother, built a palace for the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager felt that she was all over the body after soaking in the hot springs once, so she lived in the palace for many years and rarely returned to Beijing. But this time, Kangxi wanted to parade outside the Saiwai, so he welcomed the empress dowager back to the palace to Zhenjingshi, and at the same time ordered the prince, the eldest brother, the third elder brother, and the fourth elder brother to accompany him. And along with this will, there was also a decree that Tong Guowei was awarded the rank of scholar of university, entered the study as an errand boy, and concurrently led the minister of the guard, and awarded Tong Guowei's son Long Keduozheng Yellow Banner as the commander. This means that Kangxi has been completely disappointed in Suo Etu and Mingzhu, and wants to completely reshuffle the cards in the study, and he is not even worried about what the two people who are stranded in Beijing will come up with, so he invited the Empress Dowager, who is nearly seventy years old, to sit in the battle.
When welcoming the Empress Dowager this time, Yinzhen was also among them, Yinzhen had never seen this legendary figure before, and every time it was wrong, once was the Empress Dowager in the palace birthday feast, several emperors and elder brothers went, but Yinzhen had a cold, which was inevitably transmitted to the Empress Dowager, Kangxi left Yinzhen in the palace, and once, Yinzhen had just been whipped twenty times, unable to move, and had no chance to see the Empress Dowager, this time there was finally a chance, Yinzhen also looked forward to this.
On this day, Kangxi led all the elder brothers to the palace of the Empress Dowager, and heard that the Empress Dowager was taking a lunch break, so Kangxi ordered not to be disturbed, and he stood aside respectfully, letting the four elder brothers kneel and wait, but they suffered these elder brothers. Gas, Beijing is already a little hot, and the brothers are wearing fragrant dresses, three layers inside and out, small clothes, python robes, and coats are indispensable, and they have to wear a big white silk bamboo hat, basking in the sun, after a while, the sweat is like a small insect dripping down, and no one dares to wipe it, for fear of being reprimanded by their own emperor, so they have to lower their heads, let the sweat drip and fall to the ground.
After a while, I heard the inside of the house say: "It's the emperor who is here, why don't you come in?" And my imperial grandchildren, hurry up, it's hot outside, don't get sunburned." What are you doing with all this nonsense?"
At this time, Kangxi was dressed and walked into the house with a few elder brothers.
As soon as he entered the house, Kangxi respectfully called a thousand, and said with a smile: "Sun Xuanye greets the Empress Dowager." The Empress Dowager is no longer by my side, and I feel empty all day long. ”
Several imperial elder brothers began to dare not speak, knelt down in a proper manner, and only then did they sign up together to say goodbye.
The Empress Dowager looked at this, looked at that, not to mention how happy she was in her heart, stretched out her hand to beckon the prince to come closer, took a closer look, and said: "The prince has grown up again, and he misses your emperor Ama more and more." ”
The prince smiled and said, "Grandmother, your body is a little stronger than when your grandson saw it last time. ”
The eldest brother was not far behind, and said: "The prince is right, the great grandmother is indeed getting younger and younger. ”
The Empress Dowager "haha" and said: "A few of you will talk and always use these sweet words to make my old lady happy, if you really want to live younger and younger, then you have to become an old monster?"
Yinzhen listened to the hearty laughter, and couldn't help but feel a sense of respect in her heart, and looked carefully, although the current Empress Dowager is old, her temples are only white, her eyebrows are kind, and her maintenance is good, just looking at her face, she only feels that she is a woman about fifty years old.
