Chapter 294: The Harem Flipped the Cards
After returning to the Forbidden City, Song Qingshu found a deep sense of powerlessness, because he acted too hastily this time, and his team had not yet been established.
Previously, Song Qingshu planned to slowly develop the sticky rod into his own private force, and as the sticky rod grows, the bottom of the work will naturally become more and more sufficient.
Of course, Song Qingshu did not regret this Bolang blow, he knew that according to the established plan, his every move was actually under Kangxi's control. There is no such thing as the best of both worlds, and there must be gains and losses, not to mention that the gains obtained this time can be described as earth-shattering.
Sitting in the imperial study, feeling that the entire empire was under his control, that inexplicable sense of excitement made it difficult for Song Qingshu to calm down.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to go and see the Queen Mother. The little eunuch hesitated for a long time, but finally stepped forward to remind.
This little eunuch is called Xiao Lizi, the brothers Wen Youdao and Wen Youfang in the imperial study were transferred to other places by Song Qingshu in the form of promotion, after all, Wen Youdao Wen Youfang served Kangxi for so long and continued to stay by his side, Song Qingshu felt that it was difficult not to show flaws.
"The Queen Mother?" Song Qingshu subconsciously resisted to meet her, after all, he was not really Kangxi. It's a pity that this is the etiquette in the palace, and when I came back from Shengjing, I should go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye.
Thinking that he would have to go to Cining Palace every day to greet the Queen Mother, Song Qingshu felt a headache and waved his hand casually: "Let's go." ”
"Let's go!"
As Xiao Lizi's sharp and thin voice sounded, a group of people soon surrounded Song Qingshu and walked towards Cining Palace. Seeing that there were eunuchs and palace maids before and after, Song Qingshu secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, it was in Shengjing, if it was in the Forbidden City, just dealing with this group of eunuchs and palace maids would be troublesome enough.
Soon Song Qingshu had a headache again, no matter where he went in the future, there would be so many people following, and he would have a lot of inconvenience in moving. While pondering, a pleasant female voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "The concubine sees the emperor." ”
Song Qingshu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that a team of palace maids were surrounding a palace beauty who was visiting her, and the palace beauty had skin like snow and a beautiful face, which was Xiao Tonghou, who had a relationship before.
"Your Majesty~" Seeing that Song Qingshu had been looking at him blankly, Xiao Tonghou's heart was sweet, a trace of blush appeared on her face, and her flower-like face looked extremely beautiful.
"Oh......" Song Qingshu reacted at this time, and hurriedly motioned for her to be flat, thinking that she had to respectfully greet her before, but now she suddenly became her husband, and it was inevitable that she would have a ridiculous illusion for a while.
"Is the emperor going to say goodbye to the Queen Mother?" Looking at her husband who had been away for many days, Xiao Tonghou's heart was excited, she had just been newly married, and the two were still in the stage of glue, and their words were naturally full of affection.
"Well," Song Qingshu nodded subconsciously, worried that it would be too cold and make people feel abnormal, and hurriedly asked, "Are you also going to Cining Palace?"
"The concubine has already asked the queen mother to be peaceful...... Xiao Tonghou's face suddenly had a hint of shame, "The concubine is just casually relaxing in the palace." ”
Seeing Xiao Tong's appearance, Song Qingshu quickly reacted, and the other party estimated that Kangxi was about to go to see the Queen Mother, so he could wander around on the way to Cining Palace, and waited for him deliberately.
"I ...... I will go to Cining Palace first to greet the Queen Mother, you can continue to turn. Facing Kangxi's concubine, Song Qingshu felt uncomfortable, and he was ready to leave after dealing with a casual sentence, but when he saw the grievances in Xiao Tong's eyes, he couldn't bear it, so he added, "It's cold outside, don't go shopping for a long time." ”
Looking at Song Qingshu's distant figure, Xiao Tonghou's pair of beautiful eyes were full of brilliance, and the palace maids on the side also took the opportunity to chatter: "The emperor does love his mother a lot......
Song Qingshu naturally didn't know what was behind him, and all his attention was now focused on how to deal with the Queen Mother. Standing in front of Cining Palace, Song Qingshu was full of slander: In almost all film and television works, the Queen Mother is the most evil image of the old pious woman, but she didn't expect that she would have to face such a terrible role.
"The son of the queen mother said goodbye. Although extremely reluctant, Song Qingshu still had to respectfully salute the Queen Mother.
"The emperor get up," the queen mother raised her left hand, and with the support of the palace maid, she walked down from the couch, looking at Song Qingshu, her face full of relief, "The first emperor really didn't see the wrong person, in just a few years, you captured the powerful ministers and worshipped, pacified the Shandong Golden Snake Camp, and now you have subdued the power of Shengjing, with this holy lord, it is really a blessing for my Qing Dynasty." ”
Listening to the Queen Mother praising Kangxi, Song Qingshu had no choice but to be silent and stand aside respectfully.
"It's good to win or defeat or be discouraged," Seeing Song Qingshu's calm expression, the Queen Mother nodded approvingly, "The mourning family was originally worried that the emperor would get carried away by the victory if he got rid of the great enemy of Prince Bao this time, but looking at your current appearance, the mourning family will rest assured." ”
"How is the emperor going to announce the cause of Hongli's death?" the queen mother motioned for the palace maid to go out first, and then suddenly asked.
"Naturally, we can only claim that he was infected with the disease and died, and then I will announce to the world, bury him with the most solemn ceremony, and then let Hongli's son Yongyan inherit his throne, and promote the prince to the hereditary iron hat king. Song Qingshu studied this question for a long time and quickly replied.
"Okay, even if the outside world speculates more, as long as they see you treating Prince Bao's descendants so kindly, most people probably won't believe that it was you who did it to Hongli. The emperor is now more and more proficient in handling state affairs, but ......" The Queen Mother suddenly muttered.
Song Qingshu was taken aback, worried about where the flaws would be exposed, and hurriedly asked respectfully: "I still hope that the Queen Mother will make it clear." ”
"It's just that the woman's affairs are handled in a mess," the Queen Mother snorted coldly as if she was angry, "You brought back two women from Shengjing, what are you going to do with it." ”
"Erchen has made a decree in Shengjing, and after returning to Beijing, he named them Concubine Hui and Concubine Ping. Thinking of Xia Qingqing in his mind, Song Qingshu thought about going to see her as soon as possible, lest she make any moths when she got it.
"Hmph! A remnant flower and a willow, a woman in the rivers and lakes, how can He De become my imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty. The Queen Mother snorted dissatisfiedly.
Looking at the gloomy face of the Queen Mother, this sentence suddenly appeared in his mind, Song Qingshu wanted to laugh a little, but he still had to explain: "This time, I can solve Prince Bao without blood, and it all depends on Miss Ma to endure the humiliation." Thinking that Ma Chunhua did not hesitate to sacrifice chastity for Kangxi, approached Hongli through Guò Fukangan, and finally succeeded in succeeding, Song Qingshu admired it in his heart.
"The mourning family knows that she has a lot of credit, but if this matter leaks out, what will the people of the world think of you, the emperor?" the queen mother sighed, "The so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, let alone the emperor." ”
Song Qingshu was shocked: "Queen Mother, do you mean ......?"
"If you can't bear it, the mourning family will send someone to deal with it. The Queen Mother's face was full of loose skin, and she couldn't see any expression.
Song Qingshu was silent for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "Erchen has his own measure, and he will handle it well." "If it is handed over to the Queen Mother to deal with, Ma Chunhua will either hang herself or fall into the lake and drown, such a large Forbidden City, a few more unjust souls will not be able to make any waves at all.
The Queen Mother glanced at him suspiciously, worried that he was perfunctory, but thinking that the other party was the emperor after all, it was not easy to persecute too much, so she had to nod, "Ma Chunhua has made a great contribution, and what about the other Jianghu woman, how can He De enter the palace?"
Song Qingshu hurriedly explained Xia Qingqing's role in the whole matter to her, and finally added: "Because of the Golden Snake Battalion, the imperial court's control of Shandong has always been very weak, and the Red Jacket Army under Yang Miaozhen is a force that cannot be underestimated in Shandong. ”
"Okay," the Queen Mother nodded, obviously agreeing with his statement, but quickly hesitated again, "She is Han after all, her ancestors have rules, and Manchu and Han cannot intermarry." ”
Song Qingshu hurriedly brought the countermeasures she had thought of before to her one by one, and when she heard that Cheng'en Gong Kabula accepted Yang Miaozhen as a righteous daughter, the Queen Mother finally nodded with satisfaction.
Coming out of Cining Palace, Song Qingshu finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was not a way to come to ask for peace every day......
Back in the Qianqing Palace, Song Qingshu instructed Xiao Lizi to bring the folds that had accumulated recently, and it looked like a whole day. After this period of experience of catching ducks on the shelves, Song Qingshu slowly learned how to review the chapters.
However, he saw that the concert was more about finding out the power factions of the imperial court, rather than really having the heart to govern this huge country. Looking at the thick stack of pieces in front of him, Song Qingshu thought hatefully: "I have to find a few secretaries to share my worries, otherwise I will be tired to death when this emperor is the emperor." ”
In fact, there is a storage of the military aircraft department, and the chapter does not need to be handled by the emperor personally, but Song Qingshu wants to do his best to seize the power in his hands, so he plans to bypass those military ministers.
Song Qingshu threw the fold on the table and stretched his waist, only to find that it was getting late, and he thought that it was time to go and see Xia Qingqing. As soon as he walked out of the door, he was stopped by an old eunuch.
"Dare to ask where the emperor wants to drive?" the old eunuch saluted respectfully.
"I'm going to Concubine Ping. Song Qingshu frowned, when he was a guard in the past, he knew this old eunuch, his name was Liang Jiugong, and he was the chief eunuch of the palace.
"The emperor has forgotten that the rules of the ancestors, in order to keep the rain and dew evenly wet, to prevent the emperor from favoring one person, you can't decide which concubine to spend the night at night. Looking at Song Qingshu's gloomy face, Liang Jiugong secretly sweated, but the Queen Mother told him to take care of it, so he had to explain while beckoning the little eunuch to come up with a plate.
Looking at the wooden signs neatly placed on the plate, Song Qingshu was dumbfounded, he hadn't seen a costume drama in his previous life, so he naturally knew what this meant, each sign had the name of a concubine written on it, which brand it turned to, and which concubine would be served that night.
Although Song Qingshu is so easy to look at it without any flaws, it is okay to deceive the eunuchs and ministers, how can he hide it from Kangxi's pillow person?" "I'm not going anywhere tonight." With a cold snort, Song Qingshu turned around and left.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has a decree, saying that the emperor has been away from Beijing for a long time, and he should accompany the concubines in the harem when he comes back. Liang Jiugong made a bitter face and stopped Song Qingshu and said.
Song Qingshu was heartbroken, knowing that it was not a way to hide like this, and it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of those who had a heart, so he turned over a sign at will, praying that it was best to be a concubine who was not favored, so that the possibility of being seen through would be greatly reduced.
After seeing the words on it clearly, Song Qingshu couldn't help but secretly complain: Why is Xiao Tonghou!
