Chapter 58: Who Says an Inch, Careless (2)
Yin Zhen was really convinced this time, and said: "The emperor's mother has worked hard, all for the sake of her son, and her son knows." Reading //"
Queen Tong bowed slightly, and said: "Tonight, I have already said too much, and my mother is tired, so I will finally tell you two things." ”
Yin Zhen said: "Please instruct the emperor." ”
Queen Tong stretched out her finger and pointed to the dresser next to her, and said, "Zhen'er, there is a dark compartment under the dresser, and there is a lacquer box inside, you go and help Eniang get it." ”
Yinzhen didn't dare to slack off, walked to the side of the dresser, reached out and touched it down, sure enough, there was a small bulge, tried to push it in, a dark grid appeared in front of him, reached out to touch it, and took out a lacquer box, not big, only half a foot square, Yinzhen hurriedly held it with both hands to Queen Tong.
Queen Tong did not answer, and motioned Yinzhen to open it, as soon as Yinzhen opened the lid of the box, she saw a stack of silver tickets neatly stacked inside, and Yinzhen was even more confused, looking at Queen Tong suspiciously.
Tong Jia's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said, "Take it, this is given to you by Eniang." Over the years, Eniang has inherited the emperor's love, and the rewards have been exhausted, and the family's dowry silver, the filial piety of officials for the New Year's Festival, has accumulated over time, and now there are more than 300,000 taels of silver. In two years, you will be married separately, and E-Niang is afraid that she will not be able to wait for that season, so she will take it as a congratulatory gift from E-Niang in advance. ”
Yin Zhen was secretly taken aback, and immediately hurriedly excused himself: "Huang Eniang, no, this is the body money you have saved over the years, how dare your sons take it." Besides, the emperor's mother will be able to live a long and healthy life, don't say this unlucky thing, the son is distressed when he hears it. ”
Queen Tong smiled bitterly and said: "Although all the elder brothers are now the sons of Eniang, but in Eniang's heart, the most painful thing is you, Eniang understands your thoughts, you might as well take it, if Eniang can really recover from her illness, you will have to honor Eniang in the future, if so." Reading the book//" Queen Tong paused for a moment, and then said: "If E-Niang doesn't succeed, you have some gold and silver things around you, and E-Niang will be at ease." ”
Yin Zhen was still waiting to refuse again, and seeing that Queen Tong had a resolute face, she was afraid that she would hurt her mind for a while, so she said: "The minister will save it for the emperor's mother first." ”
Empress Tong smiled, nodded, and then said, "There is another instruction, you must remember it whenever you are in the future." Do things honestly and be loyal to the king. The emperor is not only your emperor Amma, but also a king, as long as you have this awe in your heart and do things steadfastly, you will not suffer. ”
Yinzhen had too many accidents this night. The Tong Jiashi he usually sees, loves him and takes care of him, but he just sees the side of his mother, and when he meets other concubines and elder brothers, he never holds his identity as an imperial concubine, he is always kind to others, and he has never seen her talk about any other concubine, the rights and wrongs of his brother. And it was this adoptive mother, on this night, holding his hand, every word she said, made him a little like a dream, never thought that this woman who was deeply favored by Emperor Kangxi but was usually silent, had a lot of furrows in her heart and was so thoughtful.
Yinzhen thought about his thoughts, and gave a deep salute at the same time, and said: "The ministers follow the teachings of the emperor's mother. E-Niang said so many things tonight, it hurt her spirit, and the retainers didn't look at E-Niang's face very well, so the emperor should rest. Erchen will come back tomorrow to greet Eniang. ”
Queen Tong waved her hand, and Yinzhen retreated carefully. When I returned to the room, I was also surging and had no sleep all night.
The next day was the canonization ceremony of Empress Tong, early in the morning, before dawn, Yinzhen got up, and several close eunuchs hurriedly served Yinzhen to put on auspicious clothes. The five-clawed and nine-python robe with four slits of the golden python and the four-clawed dragon mending gown of the stone blue. Buckle the red velvet knot top rattan silk towards the crown, the inner and outer cloth lining leno, inlaid with a circle of Zhu Wei on it, and add a circle of ties inside the hat. In the middle of the front is decorated with a "Sherin" (Manchu "Golden Buddha"), which is embedded with 5 eastern pearls, and the back of the hat is decorated with a golden flower, and 4 eastern pearls are embedded on it. Such a dress adds a bit of joy.
But Yinzhen couldn't be happy, because she couldn't rest assured that Queen Tong couldn't get rid of her, so she rushed to ask for peace first. Seeing that Queen Tong's face was still good, she relaxed a little, and after retiring, she hurried to Fengxian Palace.
When Yinzhen arrived at Fengxian Palace, there were no other elder brothers present, so Yinzhen knelt down and waited for Kangxi according to the rules.
After a while, he saw the prince pacing slowly, Yinzhen saw that the prince's face was not good, and knew that what happened after the seal would inevitably make the prince feel like a fish in his throat, so he cautiously said goodbye.
The prince laughed dryly, and said without yin or yang: "An, of course An's tight, you should say hello to the fourth brother, after today's ceremony, the fourth brother will be crowned king just around the corner." ”
Yinzhen was extremely disgusted in his heart, but it was inconvenient to say anything on his face, so he just said softly: "The prince made fun of it, if the emperor's mother can recover, let alone the title, even if the little brother is hooked out of the jade, Yinzhen is willing." ”
Of course, the prince also heard about Queen Tong's illness, but he didn't disperse in his heart, and took the opportunity to do it, seeing Yinzhen like this, he was also a little embarrassed, and said: "Fourth brother, don't forget to go to your heart, the second brother is joking with you, I'm a son, of course, I also hope that Huang Eniang's body can get better as soon as possible, so as to solve the worries in Huang Ama's heart." ”
Yin Zhen arched his hand at the prince and said, "Inherit the second brother's auspicious words." ”
This is, the other elder brothers also came to the front of the Fengxian Hall in twos and threes, the eldest elder brother and the eighth elder brother were all gloomy, and after greeting the prince, they knelt down in the order of the eldest and youngest, and ignored Yinzhen.
Some other elder brothers also greeted the prince according to the number of etiquette, and said hello to Yinzhen, and when they saw Yinzhen's heavy face, they didn't say anything.
The elder brothers knelt down and waited for a while, and then saw Kangxi Fa driving to the Fengxian Palace. Kangxi then led the elder brother to pay tribute to the first hall, and then sent Prince Yu to pay tribute to heaven and earth and the apse of the Taimiao.
After the completion of the memorial ceremony, everyone came to the Taihe Hall together, which was already the royal family, the civil and military officials gathered together, and set up a festival in the Taihe Palace, east, west, south, and north;
In the sound of everyone's mountain shouting long live, Kangxi slowly walked up to the hall, sat down on the dragon chair in the center, and flipped through the treasures presented by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
Kangxi nodded. The official said loudly: "On July 10, the 28th year of Kangxi, the imperial concubine Tong Jiashi was appointed as the queen, and the emperor and others were ordered to salute. Yin Zhen peeked at Tong Guowei who was standing in the front row, and now the old man's face turned red with excitement.
The main and deputy envoys then moved forward with the festival, and the captain next to him held the book treasure, went out of the Xiehe Gate, to the Jingyun Gate, and awarded the internal supervisor with the Book Treasure Festival, and sent it to the gate of the Zhongqu Palace. Because Queen Tong was seriously ill and could not meet her in person, she was held by Li Dequan, the head of the six palaces, and awarded it to Tong Jia. After the salute, Li Dequan came out, thanked the Holy Grace on behalf of Queen Tong, and returned to the envoy to restore his life, which was regarded as a ceremony.
Kangxi was very concerned about Queen Tong's illness and wanted to pray for her to increase her longevity, so he announced in public: The canonization of the queen is a national ceremony, and I should give amnesty to the world to think that Queen Tong congratulates, and all those who were executed that year, except for the ten heinous crimes, will be sentenced to two degrees. Within this year, those sentenced to death shall be given a one-year reprieve. The ministers echoed one after another, and the whole court was full of joy.
Yinzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, because in this way, even if Dai Zi was saved, if he moved, it would be a punishment of taking his post at most.
