Chapter 21 (7)
Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "The concubine has a guard named Hu Wei, who is the concubine's right-hand man, and he used to like a maid in my palace. Since Luo Jin committed suicide, in the past six years, he has always been depressed, and the concubine wants to take him with him, so as to relieve him. Shunzhi said: "Hu Wei, he is very clever, and I still have a little impression of him." Speaking of Luo Jin, it's a pity, she and I have some kinship, and she is young and beautiful, and she has a good future, I still want to point her out to which prince and grandson in the future, but I can't think of that person. ”
When Cheng Jiaxuan entered the palace, he had heard of the name of Luo Jin of the Yehenala clan, and knew that she was the niece of the imperial concubine, and when she was a draft girl, she volunteered to enter the Yinxue Palace to serve Shen Shiyun, and the two were like sisters. In the end, because he was seduced by the demon sect, he fell in love with him like crazy, so he stole a lot of confidential information, and after being caught by Yun Guifei, he committed suicide the next day. After listening to it, I didn't feel sorry for Luo Jin, I just felt that the demon sect demons were all damn guys, and they really deserved to destroy themselves for those bad guys. was secretly disdainful, and her left hand was suddenly pulled by someone, and it was Xuanshuang who pulled her out of the door.
Cheng Jiaxuan was in a hurry, although she had little to do, she also knew that eavesdropping on other people's conversations was extremely unbearable, and she could be wiped out at any time in the emperor's house. It is too late to cover it up in every possible way, how can anyone take the initiative to come forward and send him to death? Could it be that a child is really inaccurate in acting? But now everything he says is to cover up, and he does not dare to explain indiscriminately, but just stands beside him crampedly and uneasily.
Xuanshuang generously saw the salute and said, "Huang Ama, the sons also want to go together." Shen Shiyun glanced at him and said calmly: "Xuanshuang, why are you in the room?" Xuanshuang sneered in his heart, and secretly thought: "You are really calm, as a son, you still have to learn from you." Deliberately scared her, he calmly replied: "Erchen was outside the palace just now, and he met the emperor's grandmother......"
Shen Shiyun suddenly said: "Xiao Xuan, this flower on your head is quite good." Cheng Jiaxuan was really looking forward to becoming a transparent person, and when she heard the topic on her head at this time, she was afraid that she would be held accountable, so she was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly picked it up, and said: "The slave is rude, the slave and the maid should die." Shunzhi smiled: "You don't need to take it off, I see that you look good when you wear it." Cheng Jiaxuan lowered his head and said, "More...... Thank you for the emperor's compliment......"
Xuan Shuang tried her best to hold back a smile, this can be regarded as seeing the real "Gu left and right about him", thinking: "In the end, I won this game." But your son is not so ignorant, and in front of Huang Ama, he won't let you lose face. If I don't debunk it now, I'll have a good bargaining chip to threaten you in the future. A smile continued: "Erchen asked the imperial grandmother for peace, but she seemed to be preoccupied, ignored me, and walked away quickly." Xiao Xuan took me to enjoy the flowers again, and we were exhausted from playing outside, so we went back to the room and fell asleep. As soon as he woke up from his sleep, he heard that Huang Ama was here, and immediately came to see him. ”
Shen Shiyun was suspicious, knowing that there was something in his words, but he couldn't tell what he was alluding to. Shunzhi didn't have those plans, and when he saw Xuanshuang's polite behavior, he only felt relieved, and said, "You just said that you also want to go to the Jiangnan Ancestral Hall with me?"
Xuan Shuang said: "Exactly." Erchen thought to himself, the way of heaven takes the word 'filial piety' first, and the sages and sages he has read since he was a child have also said this way. However, when the son has grown so big, he has never worshiped his mother's ancestral hall, and his words and deeds are inconsistent, and he is deeply ashamed, so he pleaded to accompany him. Shunzhi smiled: "You are so filial, that's good, I promised you, remember not to cause trouble along the way." ”
Shen Shiyun said: "Don't listen to him, the emperor doesn't listen to him, the concubine feels that he is just an excuse to avoid his homework...... Xuan Shuang said: "It's not." Erchen also heard that the Xingjing Mausoleum in Xinbin County is the ancestral tomb of our dynasty, and it is necessary to worship the ancestors, and the two sides can not be biased, and the sons advocate going there first. Shen Shiyun thought to himself that in this way, the time of leaving the palace could be delayed for a longer time, and there was nothing wrong with that, so he acquiesced. Shunzhi said: "What Xuan Shuang said is reasonable, and this is also a reminder to me that no matter when, we must never forget that filial piety is the foundation of human beings. ”
Cheng Jiaxuan saw that the atmosphere was gradually becoming more harmonious, this time he didn't need to be energetic, he stepped forward and bowed down first, and said: "Your Majesty, please allow the slave and maid to accompany him! The slave and maid have taken care of Lord Belle since he was a child, and he is worried that he will not adapt ......to the water and soil when he travels" Xuanshuang heard that Cheng Jiaxuan finally carried it clearly, and was very happy, and hurriedly begged: "Yes, Huang Ama, Xiaoxuan will definitely be able to serve everyone well, so take her with you." ”
Shen Shiyun said: "What are you serving? Don't forget to put your brother's shelf wherever you go, what kind of system will you become?" I think you should also go outside to exercise for a few days, know how to do everything yourself, don't always think about relying on others......"
Shunzhi smiled: "Okay, I know that you are a beloved son, but Xuanshuang is still young, and there are too many disciplines, which is not conducive to his growth." The descendants of the royal family need to have both ability and political integrity, but it is not a life of lifelong hard work. Xiao Xuan is the righteous daughter of the emperor's uncle, I didn't think she was an ordinary girl, Xuan Shuang usually talked to her the most, and it was good to be his playmate when she was together. ”
Shen Shiyun said helplessly: "Okay, you all hurt Xuanshuang, and I don't need to be kind enough to be infamy." However, he said in advance, this time he took Xuanshuang out to broaden his horizons and see and hear for a long time, but his homework could not be left behind, and he would make up for it after returning to the palace. Xuan Shuang responded, and said in his heart: "After being out of the palace for so long, the homework must be piled up into a small mountain." Well, I have to find an opportunity along the way, so that Xiao Xuan can ask me, and I can take the opportunity to negotiate terms with her. ”
Cheng Jiaxuan saw Xuanshuang's treacherous smile, and naturally knew what kind of ghost he was doing, so he secretly smiled bitterly, and said: "Your Majesty, the slave wants to report to my father-in-law, I don't know if I can be gracious?" Cheng Jiaxuan said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." "Dressed up, bowed and withdrew. Shunzhi continued to rule with Shen Shiyun on the list of accompanying officials.
In the early morning of the next day, Cheng Jiaxuan was led to the Regent's Mansion by several guards. Everyone pulled out a few chairs for her, spread their hands, and then stepped back and closed the door. Cheng Jiaxuan called timidly: "Father-in-law." Dorgon said, "Well, feel free to sit down." He has not been on the battlefield for six years, but he has all the power of the court, and some people used to call him "the uncrowned king", and now he is really on the next level.
Cheng Jiaxuan sat down slowly, her eyes staring at her toes, her fingers twisting the hem of her clothes. Dolgon was silent for a while, and said, "This king did everything possible to send you into the Yinxue Palace, do you know what the intention is?"
Cheng Jiaxuan said: "My father-in-law used me as an eyeliner and placed me next to Concubine Yun so that he could report her movements to you in time." Dorgon replied, "Yes, this woman is very restless, and it is a great obstacle to the king's control of power. I had to know her every move before I could plan a response. Cheng Jiaxuan responded: "Yes." ”
Dolgon said: "I heard that the emperor planned to travel in micro-clothes, and it was at the suggestion of Concubine Yun, isn't it? This king knows very well that she can't have such a Yaxing, so for what reason?" Cheng Jiaxuan said: "She was entrusted by the Queen Mother to try to support the emperor." Dolgon's face sank and said, "What did the Queen Mother say?"
Cheng Jiaxuan is also a smart person, and said in his heart: "This matter is related to you, you must not want me to know too much, and you can only pretend to be confused." He replied: "The Queen Mother did not say it explicitly, but only said, 'You know about that matter', as if the things discussed can only be understood, not spoken." But it sounds very involved, otherwise the Queen Mother would not be so low-voiced. ”
Dolgon's cold gaze looked Cheng Jiaxuan up and down, and saw that her eyes were clear, not like him, and he thought that the Queen Mother should be cautious, and it was impossible to talk about such a major matter of life and death easily. He had already been informed that the emperor intended to thoroughly investigate the cause of his father's death, and the queen mother did not dare to come to him to discuss in order to avoid suspicion. It's just that Concubine Yun was able to learn the secret before entering the customs, and it must have taken a lot of hard work to investigate, and she couldn't guess what she wanted, but it was even more mysterious and unpredictable. Shen groaned: "Concubine Yun agreed?
Cheng Jiaxuan said: "She only asks the Queen Mother to treat her as her own, stop interfering with her love with the emperor, and nothing else." Dolgon felt that the situation was different, and said: "As the saying goes, if there is no profit, it is not early, and Concubine Yun is by no means such a good person to discuss...... Could it be related to the 'Seven Evil Treasures'?" Cheng Jiaxuan had heard him mention the "Seven Evil Treasures" many times, and he had some impressions in his mind, but he didn't know what he was referring to, so he asked: "What are the Seven Evil Treasures? Can you tell your daughter in detail?"
Dolgon himself also knows a little about it, and he had searched in many ways earlier to learn about the existence of these seven ancient treasures, and if he really said the details, he didn't know more than Cheng Jiaxuan. But in front of the righteous daughter, he always had to fight for some face, and said with a straight face: "This king will always tell you in the future, but it is not yet time." In addition to instigating the emperor to go to the Jiangnan ancestral hall, where else did Concubine Yun propose to go?" Cheng Jiaxuan thought for a while and said, "It seems to be ...... It seems to be the ...... of the Xingjing Mausoleum."
Dolgon's spirit perked up, and he said: "That's it! Sure enough, I'm going to the Seven Evil Treasures!" Xiao Xuan, this king now gives you a major task, go to the former capital of Hetuala, take advantage of the fact that others are not looking, to find a Zhaozong Ancestral Hall, there is an ancient tomb underground, that is the mausoleum of Prince Heshuozhuang, and it is also the real place of his bones. I think I'll find something of value in the temple......"
Cheng Jiaxuan said: "It's just an ancient tomb, what can be so special? We are not thieves who specialize in finding out the weapon." "The tomb must be cold and damp, and the mere thought of it is boring.
Dolgon said, "I really don't know how to use my brains. I don't want to think about why the tomb was secretly built under the ancestral hall if there is no special tomb...... Six years ago, Duoduo was vigorously investigating the life of Prince Zhuang, and in the past, our two brothers would always talk about everything, but this time he was unusual, and it was all done in private, and there must be something wrong with this. This king worked hard and finally studied some clues from the information he left behind...... "This is accidentally leaking out the secret that he knows limitedly, Cheng Jiaxuan has already understood, and only pretended not to pay attention."
Dolgon said: "Yes, with the relationship between you and this king, Concubine Yun probably can't really trust you." All your actions must start with her son, so that he will realize that there are many interests involved in the palace, and that only the two of you are in the same boat. Cheng Jiaxuan said: "My daughter understands." Lord Belle really trusts me now, and if he has any thoughts in his heart, he would rather not confess to Concubine Yun, but he will never hide it from me. ”
Dorgon said, "That's good. You've been here too long, don't be suspicious, just go back. What should I do then, you should have counted?" Cheng Jiaxuan stood up and said: "The father-in-law has the grace of reinvention for his daughter, and he will serve you, and his daughter will repay this life, and she is also willing." He had already walked to the door, and couldn't help but turn back and ask, "Father-in-law, ...... my brother?"
Dolgon was slightly impatient, and said: "Brother Ling's matter, this king has been sending people to inquire around. But after many years, don't get your hopes up. Although his bones were not found at that time, it may have been cut beyond recognition and difficult to identify. The chances of him still alive are slim to none. ”
