The Princess of Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Shi Liu was stunned for a moment, she had to take care of six children now, she was tired and went to bed early at night, and did not go to eavesdrop on the secrets of the palace, she really didn't know about the letter from Jiangnan.Besides, in the past, when the crown prince sent letters to the palace, he would also send one to Yuqing Palace, but this time there was none?

She looked at Nanny Hu suspiciously.

Madam Hu shook her head, but she didn't receive any news either. "Why don't you, servant girl, ask Mr. Feng?"

"Forget it, if you don't have it, then you don't have it. Maybe the prince is already on his way back." The guards around the prince are all good players, and they also carry firecrackers. It is really impossible for ordinary people to harm the prince.As she said, since there is no letter, it is uncertain that she will come back.

Shiliu didn't think at all that the prince was too busy, so busy that he didn't even have time to write the letter.

And the prince is indeed coming back soon.

Kangxi was furious after reading the letter yesterday, he didn't think the prince would lie, he was only ashamed of his ignorance.Even when he thinks that if the crown prince is not cautious and the boss is lucky, the two of them might confess to being in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as he thinks of this possibility, he can't sleep.

Kangxi didn't sleep all night, and called Suo'etu and Mingzhu into the palace until the next day before dawn.

"The crown prince sent a letter stating that Li Xu, Cao Yin and others are related to the Jiangnan fraud case. I have sent someone to pass the letter to the crown prince Feige, ordering him to escort the Li family and the Cao family to Beijing. You two should bring your troops and horses immediately. Go out of Beijing to welcome the prince back to the palace."

The matter of Li Xu and Cao Yin hit Kangxi very hard, he wanted to ask in person, why did these two people do this?Could it be that the rewards and preferential treatment he gave were not enough?

The old ancestor said that the two were under the coat of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, since it was allocated to him at the beginning, it is right to serve him.It was he who thought that under such circumstances, the two of them cared for themselves regardless of their own safety, and they were so moved that they even insisted on granting first-rank orders to Wen Shi and Sun Shi.

He even treats the backs of the two of them as a family, giving them enough trust and cultivation.Leaving aside the Cao family, he was the one who chose Li Xu's daughter's marriage, and Huang Qizuo was the young master who led the family.

As a coat of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, women cannot read and write, and he gave the two families preferential treatment, preparing their daughters to not participate in the small elections of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and to read and write like other children of the Eight Banners.

He even told the prince to raise the flag for the two families after he ascended the throne, from the coat to the Manchurian flag.

He has thought about everything for the two families.

Unexpectedly, the two families treated him like this.

At this time, Kangxi did not know that the Li family had anything to do with the rebellious party.The prince found out that the Cao family was related to the Jiangnan imperial examination and realized the seriousness and handed Kangxi a copy.If he knew that Li Xu was related to the rebellious party, he knew that Fan Shi was a person who opposed the Qing Dynasty and revived the Ming Dynasty, but he still favored him, he didn't know how he would feel.

"Wait, after the two of you take over the crown prince, you can bring back the other lords as well. And those students who came to Beijing to catch the exam, if necessary, you can also take a ride." From the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, you have to go day and night. One month, by then the rural examination should be over.Jiangnan is in chaos, so let them return to Beijing as soon as possible to be safe.

Those who can pass the provincial examination are also the pillars of the future, and protecting them is also protecting the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.When it doesn't endanger his son's safety, he is very willing to help.

Suo'etu and Mingzhu are not young anymore, the emperor seldom uses them, not because he doesn't trust them, but because he doesn't want to torment them.The elder brother stopped arguing with the crown prince, he liked the two of them a lot, and sometimes he would call them to the palace to watch them quarrel when he was too busy.

Li Xu and Cao Yin's "rebellion" caught him off guard, and he suddenly didn't know who to trust.After thinking about it, I called these two old boys over and explained.

Although the two were a bit selfish, Suo'etu had the same heart for the prince and Mingzhu for the boss, and they were the last to want anything to happen to them.

The two looked at each other, and Suo'etu asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what happened to Jiangnan?" The crown prince and several princes were not in the capital, and the courtiers were guessing where they had gone. Now they know their feelings I went to Jiangnan.

Kangxi pondered for a moment, then sighed: "I won't hide it from you, it's Li Xu and Cao Yin. I didn't expect the fraud case to be related to them, and Cao Yin's wife, Li Shi, is still lending usury. According to the crown prince, they The amount of silver seized from the Cao family was as large as 300 million taels."

"However, the crown prince has returned ten times the money to the people according to the roster." Kangxi agreed with the crown prince's approach.The usury is too shady, this Mrs. Li is simply hateful.

"The specific interrogation has to wait for them to enter Beijing. Do you think I treat them badly? Huh? I give them a copy of every good thing I get every year, even the precious flowers presented by the Crown Princess, the Yuqing Palace knot The pomegranates, I even send them over quickly. Is this how they treat me?"

The prince and princess are filial, and they will never forget him when they have any good things. The pomegranate trees in Yuqing Palace are all taken care of by the princess herself.Don't say how it tastes, just say "handle it yourself" for the princess, the meaning is different.

He really treats the Cao family as his own family. To put it bluntly, the Sun family is more important to him than the Queen Mother.

"The co-examiner sells test questions, clearly marks the number of places on the list, and kills talented students, one by one. Tell me, is he worthy of me?"

The crown prince didn't exaggerate, Cao Yin said he didn't know about it, everything was Li's idea, and he also said the same in the note to Kangxi.Does Kangxi believe it?He obviously didn't believe it.

Especially the crown prince wrote in the notebook that they found a million taels of silver notes in Mrs. Cao's room, that is, Mrs. Sun's. Although the crown prince didn't say anything about this, Kangxi also understood what was going on.

Obviously, she also has a part in loan sharks and buying and selling test papers.

Cao Yin obviously helped his mother to hide it, and shifted the responsibility to Li Shi.

"This, this," Rao Mingzhu and Suo'etu, who had experienced the storm, didn't know what to say.

What kind of good people do you think they are?The two of them have done a lot of bad things, but no matter how bad they are, they dare not lend usury, especially with such unbelievable debt collection rules.Don't they know that loan sharks come quickly?No, they know it, but they also know that this thing is dirty.

Cao Yin, how could he be so smart?

"Look, you don't believe it either?" Kangxi knew from their expressions that they didn't believe that Cao Yin was this kind of person just like him.He wasn't the only one who was deceived, and he suddenly felt better.

Li Xu and Cao Yin are both such people, what about weaving in other prefectures?Kangxi had to think more.It's just that he doesn't know who to send to investigate this matter at this time.

Kangxi was in a bad mood, so he explained everything that should be explained clearly, and let the two go down.Suo'etu and Mingzhu walked out of the palace gate and stared at each other. They saw the same thing in each other's eyes.

Why?It's not something the emperor is used to.

If the emperor hadn't been so polite to the Sun family and had no suspicion of Cao Xi and others, how could the Cao family have dared to be so bold?Thinking about the two of them, if the emperor showed half of his thoughts on them, would Cao Yin dare?

For a while, the two of them felt sorry for each other.

Yuqing Palace

"Report to the Crown Princess, the Empress Dowager has an invitation."

Empress Dowager?Shiliu looked at the sisters-in-law with some doubts.They just came back from the Compassionate Ning Palace in the morning, did the Empress Dowager tell them to have a good get-together? How long has it been since they started calling for people?

"Are you just calling me, or are we together?"

The mother of the Compassion Ning Palace hesitated, and then she said in a low voice: "Actually, Aunt Su sent the servants over. The emperor doesn't know what he said to the Empress Dowager. It seems that the Empress Dowager is in a bad mood, so Aunt Su let the servants come over." The servants came to invite the Crown Princess."

Su Ma's expression was very anxious. Su Ma taught her what she said just now, probably because she was afraid that the Crown Princess would not pay enough attention to it.

Da Fujin pushed her, "Crown Princess, go quickly, if you don't worry, I can help you look after the quadruplets if I have nothing to do."

Shiliu smiled lightly: "Look at what sister-in-law said, what relationship do we have, if I don't worry about who you can trust? You chat first, and I'll come when I go."

It's not unreasonable for Da Fujin to say this, as soon as the emperor left, Su sent someone to find the crown princess.She knew that the Empress Dowager and the Crown Princess were different, but how could it be such a coincidence?At this time, there were not many things that could worry the emperor and the empress dowager. She was worried that something happened in Jiangnan and wanted to stay and hear the first-hand news.

At the same time, she also really likes the quadruplets.The eldest son is the same age as the eldest son of the prince's family, and the youngest son is the same age as the quadruplets of the prince's family. Looking at the relationship between the eldest son and Hong Xi, she feels that it is necessary for the youngest son to have a good relationship with the quadruplets.

Except for Jiu Fujin who was still living in the palace, the other princes, Fujin, bid farewell one after another.If the master is not there, it is meaningless for them to stay.On the contrary, Sifujin and Wufujin seemed to be preoccupied. Obviously, like Dafujin, they also thought of their master who was still in the south of the Yangtze River.

If Su Ma could call her out, something must have happened. Shi Liu didn't dare to delay, and followed her mother to the Palace of Compassion without changing her clothes.

When she arrived, the gate of the Compassionate Ning Palace was closed, and through her better hearing, she could hear voices speaking inside.

Mammy smiled apologetically at the princess, and then walked in. "The Empress Dowager, the Crown Princess asks to see you."

The Empress Dowager was obviously taken aback, and then she glanced at Su Ma, she snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't know, you must have called people here with the idea of ​​mourning the family. What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up?"

Being exposed, Su was not annoyed, but just smiled with a good temper.

After overhearing this, Shiliu knew it all.The empress dowager was in a bad mood, but not so bad.

Please greet me with courtesy, the Empress Dowager did not make things difficult for pomegranate.He asked her to sit in front of her and took her hand and said: "The prince has a message, I believe he will come back soon."

"That's a good thing. Why does this concubine think that the old ancestor is unhappy? But the crown prince didn't say to bring you a gift? Don't worry, if His Highness doesn't bring you special products, I will help you beat him later." Pomegranate said and waved it. Lower your fist.

The empress dowager couldn't help laughing, "You girl, you are the mother of six children, and you're still so funny. I'm not afraid that the prince will dislike you for being unsteady."

Su Ma followed suit, "Look, just now the Empress Dowager blamed the slaves for being troublesome, but now she yelled out her heart and soul. Poor slaves have become such villains." She covered her face with a veil as she spoke. , pretending to be sad.

The empress dowager looked at her, "Okay, I know you are doing it for the good of the mourning family." She sighed, "Hey, the mourning family is not worthy of the emperor. You said how good the emperor is to the Sun family and the Li family. I don’t know how to cherish it.” That’s all for Wen, she died early, and the Empress Dowager couldn’t blame a dead person even if she wanted to.

Sun is different, Sun is still alive.And she must be the mastermind of what happened this time.

Sun?Could it be because of Jiangnan's affairs?Thinking of this, Pomegranate asked.

"It's Jiangnan, the crown prince has already found out, the Jiangning imperial examination was done by the Cao family. The Cao family didn't just do this, they were very courageous." Fortunately, the crown prince was clever and did it right from the start. I didn't want to go to Cao's house, otherwise she would be scared to death. "Yinti is also a fool. The emperor does whatever he says, and went to Li's house without investigating. Don't you know that the Ai family's heart would jump out when they heard this."

Shiliu's heart trembled when he heard that, how could someone say that stupid people have stupid blessings? According to what the Empress Dowager said, Li Xu is not a good person, and the elder brother was able to come out safely, so he really complied with this sentence.

"Is this why the ancestors are unhappy? Don't blame the courtiers and concubines for talking too much. They have done illegal things. Khan Ama will deal with them. We can't do it for these people. If you really can't get out of your heart, let the time come." Khan Ama hit two boards hard to vent his anger."

What she said was childish, but it was precisely because of this that the Empress Dowager was willing to talk to her.Pomegranate is very winky and never steps out of the way.

"It's not just because of this. The Ai family thought that those two people were not good. Look at Su, she has been with the Ai family for many years, and she also accompanied the Ai family to get out of the suffering. The Ai family When she was still the queen mother, she wanted to point out a good marriage for Su Ma, so that she could enjoy her old age peacefully. But Su Ma didn't want it."

When she became the empress dowager, her life was only from hardship to a little hardship, because there was still a Dorgon in the royal family.He and the first emperor were the most difficult to deal with, and she was caught in the middle in a dilemma.

Su Ma just said that she couldn't bear to see herself alone, so she insisted on staying by her side.

Later, Dorgon disappeared, and she and the first emperor had conflicts again, until the first emperor passed away and the young emperor ascended the throne.They were all by Su Ma's side.

Didn't Ma Su pay more than Mrs. Sun?Did she say anything?

Now Su Ma is only the maid in charge of the Compassionate Ning Palace, she has a special status and her rank is only third rank.

What about Sun?Because Sun took care of the emperor for a few days when he had acne, she was named Zheng Yipin's wife.

The empress dowager panicked when she thought of this.She was not because Su was worthless, but because she felt that the emperor's reward was too hasty.

It's a pity that the emperor sometimes looks like the late emperor, the more others object to things, the more he will implement them, just like Dannian rewarding the Sun family.

What now?

Look what Sun has done?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she couldn't hold back just now and said a few words to the emperor.It's just that after saying this, she felt a little regretful in her heart.Sun's doing this thing, I also know that the most sad thing is the emperor, isn't she saying this to embarrass the emperor?

So the Empress Dowager began to blame herself again, of course she hated the Sun family the most.

"The Ai family understands the emperor, and also somewhat understands Sun's thoughts. The prince also plans to let Sun and others enter the palace to face the saint. Hmph, don't let Sun's heart soften after crying a few words casually."

Pomegranate gently rubbed the Empress Dowager's shoulders, and she whispered: "Look at what the ancestor said, Khan Ama is the Mingjun of the prosperous age, how could he be confused about this matter? Don't say that he is just a nun, even if the prince committed a crime." Wrong, the emperor should punish him or he will punish him."

"The concubine is not worried about this. The ancestor is the most accurate judge of people. Since you say she is not good, then she must be not good. You know the emperor, and she should also know something about Khan Ama. You said she has Is it possible for Khan Ama to spare Cao's family and commit suicide on the road?"

"It doesn't have to be suicide, just behave a little miserable, so that Han Ama can sympathize with her?"

"The concubine has not been married to the prince for a few years, but she also knows that Khan Ama is a very affectionate person. If she finds that this person is miserable, she will remind her of what she said."

"Didn't you say that Cao Yin blamed Li Shi? What if this Sun Shi also said the same? Li Shi will stop all charges..."

To be honest, Shiliu praised Kangxi countless times, but this time she said it against her will.

The Empress Dowager pondered, "What you said is not unreasonable. Su, let someone secretly go to Suo'etu and pass on a message to him. You must serve Mrs. Sun to Ai's family. Take what the Crown Princess said just now. For Suo'etu, it is best to let her go to see the emperor in vain and fat."

The Crown Princess was right, she just got angry and forgot about it.In order to save her life, or to save the Cao family, that woman from the Sun family is very likely to commit suicide.

And the emperor might not be sure that he would really forgive Cao Jiawang because of guilt.For example, to punish the whole clan for its crimes, in the end only the chief envoy is punished.She hates the members of the Cao family very much now, and she doesn't want to see them being sentenced lightly, especially if they still use the emperor's feelings like this.

"Old Ancestor, I still have a lot of good medicinal materials in my hand, why don't I send them together. That is," she smiled shyly, "If Khan Ama finds out about this, you have to help find out. "

She came up with this idea not only because the queen mother was unhappy, but more because of the prince.In all fairness, the crown prince certainly didn't want to see the hard work of collecting evidence from the Cao family, only to have his hard work come to naught with a few words from an old woman.

Maybe she is too villainous, but she has to guard against it.

It's just that what she came up with is different from what the empress dowager came up with.If the emperor knew that it was her who came up with the idea, what if he transferred the guilt towards Sun to her?

She didn't want to be hated by the emperor.

The empress dowager pointed at her, "If you don't tell me about this, Aijia will cover you up. Don't worry, even if the emperor finds out about it in the future, you won't be blamed." This matter has something to do with politics too. On the other hand, if the emperor mistakenly thinks that the crown princess is participating in politics, it will be detrimental to both the crown prince and the crown princess.

She is very satisfied with the current atmosphere of the royal family and will never allow anyone to deliberately destroy it.
