Chapter 46

Yinhu holds the memorial, and can see it at a glance.The content is to report the disaster situation in Duoba Town, fifty miles east of Xining. This place is deep in the basin, and the ground is broken for tens of miles around, making it difficult for people and animals to reach.Therefore, they all ordered Chu Zong to ask the emperor's opinion whether to save or not to save the guilty minister.

After the emperor picked up the playbook from Yinhu, he looked at him intently, not even missing the slightest change in his expression.But Yinhu put down the memorial book, thought for a moment, and then said, "I have also read some Qinghai local chronicles in my spare time. It is recorded in the book that Duoba Town is the throat fork leading to Qingnan and Tibet. It is a battleground for military strategists. There are also pastoral areas and fertile land where the warehouses and carriage shops are adjacent to each other, and there are many people coming and going. Therefore, the concubines feel that this place should not be neglected."

Yinzhen also couldn't figure out what kind of reaction he wanted Lao Ba to react. Seeing that he was so calm and calm, he nodded slightly and said, "I also think that this place must not be lost. This morning, the Xining garrison was dispatched to build roads and bridges overnight, and try to grab Tong Guan Dao." But he paused when he mentioned this point, and then said, "It's just that the earthquake has happened five days ago, and the inside of Xining City is already in ruins. I'm afraid there will be serious casualties outside the city."

Yinhu lowered his eyelashes, remained silent, and made some calculations in his heart.This Duoba is located in the upper middle and upper reaches of the Huangshui River, living by the river, and has always had a prosperous business, so the material is relatively abundant.But disasters from heaven, bricks and stones have no eyes, and the ninth younger brother has been confined indoors for a long time, so this catastrophe may be unpredictable.

Just thinking about it for a while, Yinhu felt that the whole body was shrouded in cold air, and it was actually icy cold in this early summer.I had no choice but to cut off the thoughts in my head, but I hope the ninth brother will be lucky.Yinhu turned around slightly, and raised his head to meet Shang Yinzhen's probing eyes, Yinhu was startled, I'm afraid this scene will be difficult to perform.

When the two were staring at each other, Su Peisheng hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has fallen ill."

The Empress Dowager's body and bones have never been considered healthy, serious illnesses are not uncommon, but the emperor saw that Su Peisheng came to report in such a hurry, I am afraid that this time the illness is a bit more serious.

Only then did Yinhu's surging thoughts slow down, and when he saw the emperor setting up the Shoukang Palace, he had to go with him.

In the sleeping hall of Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager is lying ill.Inside the house is the queen sitting in charge, accompanied by concubines Hui.When Ulanara saw the emperor coming with his concubine Lian, it was just as expected, but a sneer involuntarily appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The emperor summoned the imperial physician Wen Shichu, who was treating the queen mother, after a brief review of the prescription, he asked the palace servants to decoct the medicine.If we talk about the empress dowager's disease, it is just an old disease, the deficiency of qi and weakness common to the elderly.Because the emperor fell ill a few days ago, the empress dowager stayed by his side, tormenting day and night, coupled with eating disorders and summer heat invading the body, he fainted for a while and became ill.

But the empress looked worried, and she didn't get rid of the slightest worry because of the comforting words of the imperial physician.

Seeing that the queen mother was sleeping peacefully, the emperor had no intention of disturbing her, so he only left Aunt Zhuxi to wait on her sick bed, and brought all the concubines into the main hall to talk.

"Concubine Hui is a virtuous and filial concubine, and I am very relieved to serve the queen mother." The emperor and the queen sat down separately, and then he spoke to praise Shen Meizhuang.After all, Yinzhen didn't like to see the queen mother more, and having such a filial concubine to accompany him was just in line with the emperor's wishes.

"The empress dowager is sick, and the disaster in Xining is unstable. I can't accompany you day and night, so I will be arranged by the empress, and the concubines above the nobles in each palace and courtyard will take turns to attend the sickness in Shoukang Palace to bow for me." The emperor has nothing else to say, nourish the heart There is still a lot of things waiting in the palace, which means getting ready to drive back to the palace.

However, the queen gave a bitter smile, and said further, "Your Majesty, there has been no peace in the court and harem these days. There was an earthquake in Xining, and the emperor's dragon body violated peace, and now the queen mother is sick again. The concubine thinks, is it called Qin?" Heavenly Supervisor to ask?”

Misfortunes occur frequently, and it is reasonable to observe the sky with Qin Tianjian.So the emperor got up and ordered, "Master Xuanqin Tianjian will meet me in the Hall of Mental Cultivation." Turning around, he said kindly, "The empress is worried about the Six Palaces, so go with me to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to listen."

Concubine Hui stayed in Shoukang Palace to attend to the sick, only Concubine Lian came out from Shoukang Palace without saying a word.Yinhu originally retreated back in a well-behaved manner, intending to let the queen go first, but the emperor suddenly turned around and grabbed his wrist.

The empress absolutely did not dare to go with the emperor, so she fell behind and could only watch Concubine Lian pass her and was led by the emperor to walk in front.Ulanara's complexion changed instantly, but then she ignored it graciously. Since she had already set up a chess game, it would naturally allow Guarjia to be complacent for a while.From the backyard of Prince Yong's Mansion to the Central Palace of the Forbidden City, are there not many women who the Ulanara family has endured? And among those who once intended to step on her head, which one has survived to this day?The queen asked herself what the Nian family hadn't won in the past, and now the little Guarjia family is even less qualified to compete with her.

When they arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the head of Qin Tianjian, Bo, was already waiting outside the hall, so the emperor sent him in for questioning.

"Recently, the harem suffered from bad luck many times, but is there any difference in the celestial phenomena?" The emperor sat on the throne, the queen sat firmly in the East Nuan Pavilion, and Yinhu stood in the East Nuan Pavilion.

The master knelt down and reported, "Going back to the emperor, I watched the stars at night a few days ago, and saw the Xuri mouse in the seven places in the north faintly turning black, which is a sign of chilling. Waiting for the Weichen to follow up all night, I saw the Xuri mouse. Turning to the state of facing the moon, but there is also the appearance of being on duty. In the harem, the one who governs the moon is the queen mother and empress. But in the world, the one who governs the sun is the emperor."

Yin Zhen continued to ask in a deep voice for a moment, "Is there a way to crack it?"

After hearing the words, the Lord Bo kowtowed again, and said in fear, "I have the courage to ask if there is any noble Lord in the palace whose zodiac sign is a rat?"

How could the emperor remember these things, but he had guessed seven points in his heart, so he called Su Peisheng who was next to him.

Su Peisheng bowed his head and pondered for a long time, then said with a look of embarrassment, "Your Majesty, among the noble masters, only the noble master is a rat."

When the master heard it, he hurriedly asked, "Can the birthday be on February 24, or April [-], or June [-], or August [-], which days?"

Su Peisheng broke out in a cold sweat. Master Lian was the emperor's favorite person. This birthday, he, the emperor's most caring servant, was naturally silent in his heart, so he raised his eyes to look at the usual emperor below, and stammered, "Back to the emperor, Lian The master's birthday is April 47th in the [-]th year of Kangxi."

When the master heard this, he kowtowed again anxiously, and said bravely, "Your Majesty, forgive me for your boldness, this master must never be by the emperor's side."

Yinzhen's complexion suddenly sank, and he scolded, "It's ridiculous, Concubine Lian has been serving as a chauffeur for more than two years, why is it that she's on full moon duty now? It's far-fetched, I want your head."

The master secretary was already sweating through his clothes, and he quickly argued, "Reporting to the emperor, even if a person born in the year of the rat is born in the sun, it is not all important. Those who are low-ranking are not lucky enough to endanger the sun and the moon. If you get the saint My family, to be promoted to a high position is one step at a time, one step at a time!"

Yinzhen was already cursing in his heart, if the eighth brother was born in the 20th year of Kangxi, my eighth brother and I can do even rebirth, so why would we be afraid of some false day on duty?

The emperor got up angrily, stepped down from the throne, walked up to Zhu Bo, and kicked him in the heart, "Demonic words to confuse the crowd, drag you down, and send you to death row."

The master fell to the ground clutching his chest, his face turned livid.Although he knew that what he just said was disrespectful to the concubines in the harem, but every sentence was related to the destiny of the society, and he could not have imagined that he would be punished so severely by the emperor.But at this moment, he couldn't say a word, and was dragged out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation by two guards.

In the main hall, the emperor was still angry and dropped two teacups.In the East Nuan Pavilion, the Empress stood up in shock, but Yinhu was able to stand where she was.

Ulanara gave Yinhu a hard look, then turned around and left the Nuan Pavilion to appease the emperor.

"Your Majesty, don't be so angry." The Empress originally wanted to step forward to appease the Emperor, but she was pushed away by Yin Zhen, almost staggering and falling to the ground.

Although the queen knew that the emperor had always loved the Guerjia family, she never thought that the emperor's great love could leave the queen mother's body and the safety of the country behind.How could the Ulanala family have time to calculate gains and losses here, and only wanted to retreat bravely, and absolutely couldn't draw the emperor's anger to himself at this moment.

Therefore, the queen said angrily, "Concubine Lian has always been gentle and virtuous. If you say that he is an unknown person, the courtiers and concubines will not dare to believe it. The emperor calmed down. Apart from the master, there are five other officials in the Qin Tianjian, all of whom are masters of the sky." Talents who know the land, the emperor can choose a day to order them to enter the palace to face the saint."

"Forget it, don't mention this matter again, or you will be killed without mercy." Yinzhen didn't bother to see the queen's hypocrisy, so he directly cut off her thought, saving himself from coming up with other articles next time.

"The empress is tired, let's go back and have a rest." After saying this, the emperor left the main hall with great strides and headed for the East Nuan Pavilion.

As soon as he entered the Nuan Pavilion, he saw Yinhu was kneeling. Where did Yinzhen think that he would be like this, just when he was about to help him up, he heard Yinhu say quietly, "The concubine is an unknown person, and I dare not serve the emperor again. side."

Yinzhen's hand that intended to help someone was hanging in mid-air, quite embarrassed, he thought to himself: "Old Ba, how long are you going to be separated from Zhensheng?"

But Yinhu seems to have made up his mind, "The concubine begged the emperor to allow the concubine to move to Baohua Palace, take off her hairpin and wear a sin, chant scriptures and worship Buddha, so as to ensure the health of the emperor and queen mother, and make the Qing society more stable."

Yinzhen straightened up, looked at Yinhu who was kneeling on the ground for a while, and finally let out a cold snort, and walked away.

That night, Yinhu lived in the Xipei Hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and was not summoned by the emperor.

On the second day, although the Queen's game of chess did not achieve results, it still had a wide impact.Although no one in the Qin Tianjian dared to discuss the phenomenon of "Xu Rishu is on duty", there are still three remonstrances of the officials' death remonstrance placed on the imperial case.

On the third day, Duoba presented the secret report again. In addition to briefly describing the situation of road construction and disaster relief, the most important thing was that Seth Hei disappeared. No one was alive or dead, and he was mixed in the sticky pole of the garrison The spies found only a blood-stained fur robe.Yinzhen read the memorial twice before and after, and thought about the whereabouts and fate of the old nine, but none of them could be implemented.

And although the concubines and concubines in the harem have heard a little about the astrology, but with the emperor's protection, everyone can only watch the changes quietly, and no one dares to chew their tongues at this juncture.

But what everyone didn't expect was that on the fourth day the emperor ordered Concubine Lian to get rid of her colorful clothes and red makeup, move to Yuhua Pavilion, and practice in Baohua Palace.

This decree stunned the queen for a long time.This result can be said to be the result of God's will, but when Ulanara thought of the emperor's anger and all kinds of protection that day, he felt that the result was too unclear.

When Yinhu was supported by Fang Ruo and entered the Yuhuage Palace, Su Peisheng soon arrived with Biyun and Wanruo.

"Master Lian, the emperor was afraid that you would not be used to living here, so he ordered his servant to call Biyun Wanruo to continue serving you." Su Peisheng also had difficulty guessing the master's thoughts, but although the emperor seemed ruthless, every instruction was carried with him. With affection.

Yinhu thanked Su Gonggong, but seeing that Su Peisheng still didn't leave, he continued to ask, "Does Su Gonggong have other matters to explain?"

Su Peisheng thought about it for a while, then laughed again and said, "It's nothing else. It's just that the emperor ordered the servants. If Master Lian asks the emperor, let the servants repeat the sentence 'When does he want to come back? Let Su Peisheng bring a message." '."

Yinhu understood that since he hadn't asked how the emperor was doing, Su Peisheng shouldn't have said that.But as everyone knows, this is where Su Peisheng, a slave, is so experienced.

Su Peisheng thought, if he didn't say this, there would be a rift between the master and the emperor, and as time goes on, if the emperor forgets about this person, that's all. The table is right.

What's more, with Su Peisheng's sense of smell of walking in the palace for many years, I am afraid that the emperor will definitely not let go of this master in his heart.

Su Peisheng withdrew after finishing the rumor, except for the three servants who served Yinhu personally in the Yuhua Pavilion, there were no palace servants who boiled water and stewed soup like in the past.Fortunately, this place seems to have been cleaned up a long time ago, and everything in the house is new.The master and servant were settled down very quickly.

This Yuhua Pavilion is a unique place in the Forbidden City. It is a loft-style building, and Yinhu can have a panoramic view of the entire courtyard just by sitting in front of the window on the second floor.If you look up a little further, you can see the Shoukang Palace on the southwest side and the Baohua Palace on the north through the north-south windows.

Yinhu looked as if she walked through the yard and entered a row of small rooms in the side wing, knowing that she was going to get some hot water for food.Only then did he ask Fang Ruo, "Is there anyone here in Baohua Palace?"

Fang Ruo stopped the things he was packing up, and replied, "It used to be that the Empress Dowager often went to Baohua Hall to pay respects to the Buddha, but now that the Empress Dowager is ill, it is Hui Concubine who goes to Baohua Hall to chant scriptures and pray for blessings every day."

Yinhu nodded, he knew that the Queen Mother valued Concubine Hui, and Concubine Hui was also a rare filial daughter.Being dispatched to this secluded place today has brought a lot of convenience.

Yinhu didn't wait any longer, but took Fang Ruo all the way to Baohua Hall.Now concubine Lian is practicing according to the order, no one can stop him.
