The Harem of the Qing Dynasty - the next era

Cheng Shuang asked Han Ling for instructions: "Master, gossip is spreading everywhere in the garden. Rumors that King Jingjun's death was caused by you sitting idly by! Would you like to check this slave?"

Han Ling pinched her forehead: "Where did this accusation come from?"

"The emperor thoroughly investigated the details of Fang's family. She was bought by Suo Chuo Luo's family from Jiangnan salt merchant Xiao Kang. Xiao Kang had some ties with Mr. Fu. He originally wanted to go through the Fucha family's door and dedicate Fang's family to the fourth elder brother. Unexpectedly, the fourth elder brother turned a blind eye to this girl, and was bought by Suo Chuoluo's family with a lot of money, and then entered the palace of King Jingjun!" Cheng Shuang explained, "Someone found out the old story of the son's critical illness, saying that you have the ability to take care of her. Rescuing critically ill people, Mourning Prince Hui, Prince Mourning Min, King Jingjun, and King Dingjun are all because of your unwillingness to treat them sincerely!"

"It's a good thing I didn't enter the hidden mansion when Da Gege and Er Gege died, otherwise I would be accused of two more crimes!" Han Ling squinted her eyes, "If I can have the ability to end death and prolong life, the harem will be designated as cleaner than it is now. "

"My lord, I heard that the emperor and the fourth elder brother have quite different military strategies to pacify the southern border. The fourth elder brother has remonstrated several times, and the emperor is already displeased. The death of King Jingjun has something to do with the fourth elder brother. In the past, that's all. , The emperor's dissatisfaction with the fourth elder brother has been written on his face in the past two years. Lord Long live some!"

Han Ling understood: "From Prince He's point of view, which one is right and which one is wrong between the Emperor and Yong Xi?"

Cheng Shuang deliberately lowered his voice: "If the fourth elder brother is not knowledgeable enough, it will not be easy for Long Live Lord to be suspicious."

Han Ling let out a long sigh: "Is it so serious?"

"Master, at this time, you must not be careless!" Cheng Shuang reminded Han Ling, "Si elder brother and the emperor are father and son, the relationship between the king and the teacher of heaven and earth is greater than the relationship between father and son."

"He's almost thirty, and it still doesn't make me feel at ease." Han Ling raised his hand, "Siji is not here, and I don't even have anyone who can discuss things."

As Cheng Shuang was about to speak, Zhang Lei preached in Waitong: "Master, Madam, Master Yu is here to greet you!"

Han Ling hurriedly got up: "Quickly teach her to come in!"

Concubine Yu and the late Concubine Qian felt a little sympathetic to each other. She lost her only son, and there was a young grandson who needed to be taken care of by herself. Get up and educate Mian Yi, so that you don't get angry for nothing when you hear those ridiculous words."

"That's good!" Han Ling's hair clogged, "Just tell me what's going on, take care of Mian Yi, and I'll take care of everything in the future!".

Concubine Yu smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, the concubine's thinking was wrong. To raise children, you have to follow your set of rules."

Han Ling gritted her teeth: "Don't worry, there will always be a day when things are right, I can't spare them!"

"My lord, Yongqi was plotted against Prince Zong. You have to be careful. They are now colluding internally and externally. You have suffered a few times because of this. Although Prince Zong has a solid foundation, I am afraid they will always use it." 'White fish jumping on a boat', 'Foreign ministers please seal' and other low-level methods to separate the relationship between father and son. The concubine heard that in the past, A Ling'a, the younger brother of Empress Xiaozhaoren, bought a trafficker and went away, and framed Prince Limi in Shijing——The emperor is close to hearing, and this method of flattering and killing is more likely to arouse his rebellious heart. A wise king may not like a wise heir, and besides, you are not the only son of the prince of the clan." With these words, If it hadn't been for the decision to hide from the court, Concubine Yu would not have said it even if she was killed, "Prince Duan has already given birth to an heir, unless that day comes when you have to abandon Prince Zong and become Prince Jia or King Beijun, otherwise you must not obey the emperor's orders." It means to shake the position of the heir of Yuqing Palace."

"I understand!" Once Yongxi is abolished, unless the emperor is seriously ill and will collapse, even if he likes Yongjue no matter how much he likes Yongjue, it is impossible to secretly establish a crown prince immediately after learning from the past. This loophole is easy to be exploited. The key point is that for a king like Hongli, the older he gets, the less he can tolerate a young, wise and well-loved heir, who is not a close person like Concubine Yu who has been with him for 40 to [-] years. It is impossible to clearly realize this!

Of course Concubine Yu has her own selfish intentions: it is true that she wants to withdraw from the Liugong battlefield for the safety of her grandson, but it does not mean that she has withdrawn from the camp of Jingren Palace because of this, otherwise the emotional investment of so many years will be in vain!As long as the queen feels that she owes her mother and son, when that day comes, it is impossible for Prince Zong to treat Mian Yi badly.

This is the case in the harem, and the situation in the previous dynasty is not optimistic.

Myanmar first fell to Siam and then committed tianchao, which now poses a serious threat to the territory of Yunnan. On the basis of the enemy's strategy, it is suggested that the imperial court send envoys to Siam secretly, contact the remnants of the Ayutthaya Dynasty, promise to reinforce the army, canonize, and restore the country, so that Burma will be attacked by the enemy, forming a favorable situation of internal and external attack.Shu Hede (the grandson of Emperor Yongzheng's teacher, Tai Tuo, and great scholar Xu Mengde) and the governor E Ning (son of Ertai) both accompanied the assistant chief officer and counselor minister Shu Hede, and included an analysis of the five major disadvantages of the war in Burma (soldiers and horses) Insufficient food, lack of food and grass, difficult marching, unfavorable transshipment, and unacceptable water and soil) were used as a basis to write a memorial and submit it to the capital.

The emperor, who was already dissatisfied with his inaction on the front line, was very angry: "How many troops is there in Burma? The Qing Dynasty was in its prime. If you really want to use your life, can't even the small country of Nanbang be helpless? Prestige, relying on the old part of Siam to retreat from Burma? It’s a big joke in the world! Isn’t Sige afraid that the Qing Dynasty will follow in the footsteps of Tang Gaozong and Silla to attack Goguryeo?”

The Military Aircraft Department drafted an edict that day, in addition to seizing the seals of the imperial envoys of Sige and Shenyu Shu'e, who were afraid of death and avoiding the war, they urgently transferred Yili General Mingrui as Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, concurrently serving as Secretary of the Ministry of War, and fully presided over the Burmese expedition.

Fucha Mingrui, grandson of Li Rongbao, grandson of Li Rongbao, nephew of Empress Xiaojing and university scholar Fu Heng, now heir to first-class Duke Chengen, is another outstanding representative of the Fucha family. Rely on trust.

Yongxi has no choice but to ask the emperor to move Sige away from the front line.

However, the emperor was unwilling to let Sige return to the capital. He asked his brother-in-law to stay in Yunnan to serve as a military counselor and perform meritorious deeds.

Fu Heng hurriedly edited the book for his nephew. There was only one theme: Don't be careless, and listen to Sige's advice in everything.

This of course also planted future troubles.

In the Qianlong Dynasty, there were two families of relatives: the Fucha family and the Huifanara family.

Both are foreign relatives, but the fortunes of the two families are completely different!There was a saying in the court that "the Fucha clan has queens, and the queen has Nala clan", which means that the reason why Empress Xiaojing became a queen is because she came from the Fucha clan, and the reason why the Nala clan prospered was because they came from the family. Because of the appointment of a middle palace successor.

Fu Heng is fine. He has worked with Sige for many years, and they appreciate each other. There are occasional political disagreements, no personal grievances, and they are important relatives. He looked down on a newly-emerged family like Nala, especially when the other party stepped on Empress Xiaojing to gain today's honorable status.

This is an affair, let’s talk about public interest: Sige was reprimanded because his strategy for conquering Burma did not meet the emperor’s requirements. If he continued to follow the scriptures, he would appear incompetent, and the meaning of being transferred to Yunnan would be lost!Of course, his uncle had entrusted him, and Sige was his cousin's father-in-law, so Mingrui could at least maintain the minimum courtesy on the surface.

Empress Nala in the Yuanmingyuan was not idle either. According to some clues that have been investigated so far, the salt merchant Xiao’s family had a close relationship with Ling Guifei’s aunt’s cousin Kang’s family. They have already cut off contact, and because of this, the Kang family was lucky enough to escape this catastrophe!

Of course, this is not important anymore!Yong Qi's death directly sounded the alarm for Empress Nala, and Han Ling decided once and for all to completely eliminate all uneasy factors in the Forbidden City against Jingren Palace.

In this case, Prince Xian's eldest son Fujin handed over the sign to the Old Summer Palace.

Qi Lian recommended lamas to the queen's aunt. According to her, the lamas were very powerful. In order to pray for his grandson, the old prince took a lot of effort to invite them into the capital. There have been many cases of twins. Those who have been guided by the lama are not good for luck. The children and grandchildren are full, the parents live a long life, and they are rich and prosperous. Because I thought of the [-]th and [-]th elder brothers, I went to the garden to ask for instructions, right? Let them stay and contribute to the two princes, whether they work or not, there will be no loss anyway.

Han Ling thought for a while and said, "I have to ask the emperor for instructions on this matter."

Although it is said that "the son does not talk about strange powers and gods", the four words "parents have a long life" are enough to impress Emperor Qianlong, so Li Yu came to preach: "The emperor asks the master to make decisions on his own."

Han Ling ordered: "Call Imperial Concubine Ling and Concubine Qing!"

The fifteenth elder brother Yongyan bears all the expectations of the imperial concubine Ling, and she is determined not to agree to handing over her son to the queen: "Where does the master want to send the two elder brothers?"

Han Ling said: "One guest should not bother the two masters. Since it is the suggestion of Prince Xian's son Fujin, it is my idea. The palace has a family temple, so let her work hard."

"This—" Just kidding, in the capital, who doesn't know that Prince Xian's palace is dominated by the eldest son Fujin?The livelier and more energetic eighty-year-old prince (77 years old to be exact) only cares about his grandson as a cow and a horse (this is the essence). To her hands?What's the difference between that and giving it to the queen!

Concubine Qing didn't think much about it: "Concubine wants to go with Brother Fourteen."

"I think so too." Han Ling looked at Concubine Ling, "The matter is settled like this, if you have any worries, you can tell Concubine Qing to take care of it!"

"Yes!" The county magistrate is better off taking care of it now, the incident happened so suddenly that the imperial concubine couldn't think of a suitable reason to object, so she could only reluctantly agree, "The concubine will go and prepare for Yongyan."

The author has something to say: There are only five chapters left!It seems that it is no problem for readers to see the finale before November.
