Chapter 21 (6)
Shen Shiyun continued: "Prince Deyu is annoyed that the great grandfather 'takes his father's throne and replaces him', this is his personal narrow prejudice, and he also hates the descendants of the great grandfather, if he is allowed to gain power, he will definitely abolish the Qing court and build a new policy." The concubine was killed first as a last resort, and the emperor was merciful, and the emperor's uncle had worked hard all his life, and he was not convicted of rebellion, and he was still buried with heavy gifts. The regent and the emperor are different, they are both grandparents' own grandsons, no matter who wins, they will not threaten the rule of the Qing Dynasty, let alone embarrass you, your son is destined to be able to sit firmly, so why worry?
The Queen Mother hesitated: "On scheming, on experience, success or failure is obvious...... Can...... If you bless him...... This is a great rebellion, and it will be struck by thunder and thunder from the sky!" Shen Shiyun put down the teacup, leaned forward, approached the queen mother, and said with a smile: "What do you say? Could it be that the emperor is actually the regent's biological son?" The queen mother trembled and exclaimed: "There is nothing to do, you ...... How can you talk nonsense?"
Shen Shiyun sat back in place, leaned lightly on the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "If you say no, then even if it doesn't." Anyway, no one can say anything about this kind of thing. The words were full of mockery, and it was clear that they did not believe it. The Queen Mother consciously took the blame and did not dare to argue. Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "Say, what do you want your concubine to do?"
The Queen Mother took a few deep breaths before she said what she had prepared, and said, "After so many years, the evidence that should be destroyed has almost been destroyed, and the people who should have been destroyed have been killed. Recently, I suddenly heard that Emperor Taizong had left a handscroll, which is very likely to leave relevant records, and brought it into the palace with the historical books when he entered Beijing, and now it is stored in the upper study. The emperor probably also got the news, and he has been wandering around there recently, and I am not easy to do, and because of the hurry, the inconvenience of action is too great, and I am afraid that I will show my feet. The mourning family wants to ask you to take the emperor out of Beijing temporarily, as long as it can be dragged out for ten days and half a month, I will also cook cleanly here, and then let him find nothing, and he will have no choice. You can use the excuse of accompanying the emperor out of the palace to relax, he spoils you so much, he won't refuse if you want to. ”
When the Queen Mother said in the end, her voice was already pleading. Shen Shiyun was unmoved, and seemed to be full of appreciation for her soft and mournful appearance, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, if this matter is not handled properly, your two most important people are very likely to lose both, or even die together." If the concubines help to mediate the situation, support the emperor, and create opportunities for you to deal with the aftermath, you can protect your lover and son at the same time, and everyone will die in harmony. You say, is this the number one event in your life?"
The Queen Mother heard her just ask, but she didn't say whether it was okay or not, and her heart was full of anger, but she was the only one in front of her who could save the water and fire, and she couldn't be offended, so she had to grit her teeth and nodded. Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "So, the concubine has helped you so much, how can you thank you?"
When the Queen Mother heard that she dared to negotiate conditions with herself, she was even more furious, and she really wanted to shoot the case on the spot, and then thought: "No matter how insatiable she is, it is impossible for her to be poor and mourn her family." This matter is too widely implicated to make a half-point difference. As the saying goes, ask someone to be three points shorter, such a woman from a humble background, she wants nothing more than some gold, silver and jewelry, and I can afford it. In exchange for peace in the second half of his life, it is worth it. With peace in his heart, he responded, "Okay, you say." ”
Shen Shiyun said: "Being able to solve problems for the Queen Mother is a blessing that the concubine has cultivated for several lifetimes, how can she get an inch, but ask you for repayment? The concubine only hopes to live in harmony with the Queen Mother, and hopes that you will treat me as your own, and stop opposing me and the emperor, it is enough to fulfill my life's wish." The Queen Mother saw that she was suddenly generous, and she thought that it was also to please herself, and it was not a big deal to suffer a few words of loss, and said: "If you can do it, the mourning family will remember your kindness for a lifetime." Let's talk about your plans. ”
Shen Shiyun said: "The concubines have long been careful, and the emperor once built a Shen family ancestral hall for me in Jiangnan to worship my ancestors. The concubine said that it was the middle of spring, and asked him to go with me to the incense and worship, and to fulfill his filial piety. Besides, the water town in the south of the Yangtze River has beautiful scenery, and I can also accompany him to go boating on the lake, which is very fun. ”
The queen mother's face sank, and she said angrily: "Bold! The emperor privately allocated money from the treasury to build an ancestral hall for your family, but he didn't say a word about the mourning family." Forget it, my son is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, and his status is so noble, how can he kowtow and bow down for the grass people of your family? You are just taking this opportunity to drag the emperor upstream to play in the mountains and rivers, delaying his great cause of governing the country!" Shen Shiyun smiled and said: "If it weren't for the Queen Mother's intentions, this trip would have been avoided." If you retract your fate, the concubine will cancel the plan. ”
The Queen Mother was stunned, her thoughts changed sharply, she quickly calmed down, and said in her heart: "The emperor will travel with her, and he will inevitably be subdued, and the common people will not know the truth, and they will not be able to lose the face of the royal family." As long as you can cover up this matter, you can make as many sacrifices as you want. The jaw said, "Okay, it's all up to you." ”
Shen Shiyun didn't show any surprises, as if he had already made a bamboo in his chest. When she helped the Queen Mother to get up, she said: "Queen Mother, the concubine knows that you don't like me very much, because you dislike me for being from a humble background. But you don't know, my father and the regent are also old acquaintances, so I was able to write the book myself, and let me come to defect. The Queen Mother said, "What did you say?"
Shen Shiyun said with a smile: "The two of them are best friends, not that I boast, my father is indeed a talent with both civil and military skills." In the battle of entering the customs, the prince invited him to help the war several times, and his father was indifferent to fame and fortune, yearning for a light and unwanted landscape and pastoral life, so he lived in seclusion in the shadowless villa in the south of the Yangtze River. Pity...... In the end, I still can't escape the vendetta of the rivers and lakes, no wonder anyone, these are all fates. The queen mother's heart also softened, and she sighed: "As a child, it is also appropriate to sacrifice to Lingzun." ”
Xuanshuang snooped on the edge of the wall, and when she saw the Queen Mother coming out of the palace, she immediately pulled Cheng Jiaxuan around the corner, jumped into the room from the side window, jumped on her small bed, crossed her legs, and put her arms on her knees. Cheng Jiaxuan stepped aside, carefully closed the door tightly, and then sat down on the edge of the bed, frowned, and said, "Lord Belle, what we heard just now, should we let it rot in our stomachs, or should we go to report to the emperor?" ”
Xuan Shuangqi said: "Just now, we were enjoying the flowers! What did you hear?" His eyes were full of innocent doubts, and then he turned his palms and really put a bunch of orange flowers on Cheng Jiaxuan's sideburns.
Cheng Jiaxuan knew that he had expressed his position implicitly, but he was always flustered in his heart, and said angrily: "Pretending to be quite like, people are telling you the truth, you just have to joke! I think the emperor has been deceived so much, his background is unknown, and he has not really been able to take power after ascending the throne, he is tricked like a marionette, and the person who killed his father and emperor is a close relative, which is really pitiful." You should be more able to understand this kind of pain, we have to pretend to be deaf and dumb again, and we can't live with him......"
Xuan Shuang turned over, her head came straight to her eyes, and the tips of the two noses almost touched each other, paused for a moment, and said word by word: "You are becoming more and more like Master Li." At this time, the two were very close, Cheng Jiaxuan felt his warm breath hit his face, a blushing heartbeat, and at the same time extremely unnatural, he turned over and got out of bed, and went back and forth in the room.
Xuan Shuang was lying on his side, his elbows supporting the pillow, his palms supporting his forehead, his legs cocked, dangling in the air, and he smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, it won't be long before Huang Ama will come to Yinxue Palace in person." Cheng Jiaxuan said: "Hmph, do you know again?" Xuan Shuang put on a profound face, but did not answer.
The two of them never waited until Shen Shi, and sure enough, there was a notice outside the door: "The emperor has arrived!" Cheng Jiaxuan slanted his gaze and said with a smile: "It's really yours." Xuan Shuang grinned, jumped out of bed, took Cheng Jiaxuan's hand, and leaned to the door.
Several eunuchs surrounded the emperor and walked into the main hall and retired one after another. Emperor Shunzhi ascended the throne for six years, although it cannot be said to be reborn, but it is also quite different from when he first ascended the throne. He governed the country and attached great importance to agricultural development, minimizing the famine caused by the war, and the anti-Qing voice was decreasing day by day. At the same time, he has grown into a young man, and his appearance has become more and more handsome. Shen Shiyun sat down with him in his arms and said with a smile: "The emperor has every opportunity, and the concubine is still here for some personal reasons, please don't be responsible." ”
Shunzhi smiled: "How can that be? I also want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to take a break from my busy schedule." Speaking of which, I haven't seen you in a few days. A while ago, you begged me to release the noble Ying, I don't know how she is doing?" Shen Shiyun said: "That is the emperor's grace to her. After the nobles moved out of Jingqi Pavilion, they changed their past wrongs, chanted scriptures and worshiped the Buddha every day, cultivated themselves, and the emperor did not have to worry about it. ”
Shunzhi said: "Well, that's good. "He had a lot of feelings for the noble Yingren Zhenying, but because she made a big fuss in the harem and used vicious methods, she couldn't bear it, so he cut her down and went into the cold palace. Hearing that she could repent, she was naturally happy to regain the friendship between husband and wife, and said to herself: "After observing for a while, if she really changes her mind, she can restore her title of 'concubine'." ”
Shen Shiyun nodded lightly, pretending to be worried, and sighed softly. It didn't take long for Shunzhi to notice that Concubine Ai's interest was not high, and he was worried that he was indifferent to her, so he cared: "Yun'er, what's wrong, you're not happy?"
Shen Shiyun raised his clear eyes and said slowly: "Now that Qingming is approaching, many people go to sweep the tombs to worship their ancestors, and the concubines think about their relatives who died early, and their hearts are sad. "I remembered that the Shadowless Villa was destroyed because of a lie, and I finally found a place to settle down after several tosses and turns. Entering the palace, in the eyes of others, it is a step to the sky, but who can know that she is deeply sad. sighed about his life experience, originally to coax the emperor, and when it came to emotion, he was really full of sadness and shed tears.
Shunzhi saw that her face was full of pear blossoms and rain, and he was indescribably pitiful, and said, "What do you want me to do?
Shen Shiyun sighed: "It's useless to say it. The concubine hoped that the emperor would accompany him to the ancestral hall of the Shen family and put a stick of incense on my father, uncle, and the whole Zhuang family. But the emperor is also the emperor, and the banquet is not warm, and the ministers will also accuse me of being a troublemaker. At most, it was a concubine's unrealistic wish. ”
She wanted to capture the past, but Shunzhi still took the bait, and said: "No matter how many chapters are piled up on the case, it is not necessary for me to review them personally, anyway, those important ministers are eager to grab power, and they will not let go of this good opportunity." I left the palace for a few days, and it would never delay state affairs, and it was also worthy of their hearts, killing two birds with one stone. I will accompany you to Jiangnan and call the court...... A private interview with the microservice is enough. ”
Shen Shiyun's eyes lit up and said, "Since this is the case, it is better to have a veritable private visit to Weifu." As the old saying goes, read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles, and present many compromises that have been deleted and modified, and it is inevitable that there is a disconnect between words and facts. ”
Shunzhi said: "Very good, or you think thoughtfully." However, it is better to have fewer entourage, those civil officials love vassal elegance, once they arrive in Jiangnan, poetry is flourishing, and the sour chant is right, which is really unbearable. The important thing is to travel safely, just bring some strong generals to protect you. ”
