Heshen is a strict wife

But Yongyan never knew that there was such a thing.

After a short sentence with Feng Shuangzhi, he watched Feng Shuangzhi slowly leave the strictly forbidden place under the illumination of the palace lantern carried by the palace man.

The Empress Dowager wanted to kill Feng Shuangzhi, yet she was able to tell him so calmly in front of him.

Left and right Mrs. He is not a simple person, when she was not married to He Shen, Yong Yan already knew that she was not ordinary.Kneeling in front of Xian'an Palace calmly, able to endure, endured the humiliation, and did not say a word after many years, but now looking back, whoever bullied her at the beginning ended well?

It is said that the way of heaven is good for reincarnation, but it is just that people are easy to calculate.

Now that Feng Shuangzhi has told him the news, Yu Yongyan has to be careful.The Empress Dowager is a shrewd person, if she knows about her arrangements in the palace...

Many things about Feng Shuangzhi were colluded with Yongyan, if Feng Shuangzhi was unlucky, how could Yongyan escape?

I used to think that the Queen Mother was all about him, but now I have to plan carefully to prevent the Queen Mother from changing her mind.

As long as Lafayette is still alive, there will be a problem for one day.

Yongyan calculated in his heart, but slowly left the palace and returned to his own mansion.

As soon as the Lantern Festival is over, Hefuli is busy.

Wei Mian and Liu Quan'er got married, this is not a small matter, Feng Shuangzhi hurried to do it, and invited Wei Mian's parents, and had a good time in the palace, ten, six, seven, eighteen, all in The banquet was held and it was lively for several days.

It's just that I didn't expect that not long after this lively event, news came from the palace that the Queen Mother had passed away.

When the news came, Feng Shuangzhi was in the garden, accompanied by Mei Xiang and Lan Xin, walked across the newly built small stone bridge, and asked what kind of flowers to plant here in spring, and the bamboo rhyme over there came over, Her bright green clothes stand out a little on the snow-covered ground.

"Ma'am, there is news from the palace..."

Feng Shuangzhi was surprised for a moment, but turned around but frowned: "Say."

"The empress dowager passed away today."

Putting down the fish food between his fingers, Feng Shuangzhi stood by the small stone bridge, is it gone...

It wasn't long before Aunt Qin told her that the Queen Mother was going to kill her, and now it's gone. The winter hasn't passed yet, so why is it gone?

According to the doctor, it will be spring no matter what.

She silently waved her hand, motioning everyone to go back to the house, but suddenly asked: "Who is here to pass the message?"

"It's the servant next to the master." Zhu Yun recognized the man, so she replied.

I should be glad that Liu Quan'er and Wei Mian's marriage was arranged early. She took Lan Xin's hand and said, "Take off all the red clothes in the mansion, and everyone is not allowed to wear new clothes, nor are they allowed to wear bright colors." Clothes, don’t laugh outside the residence these days. The news and instructions have been sent to me, and anyone who violates it will be severely punished.”

Qianlong boasted that he ruled the world with filial piety, and now that the Empress Dowager has passed away, I am afraid that everyone in the Qing Dynasty will be tight.

The Qinlou and Chu Pavilion might close down, and it would be very easy to punish someone at this time.

Feng Shuang went back to the house, took the account book and went to the meeting hall in the west chamber. Zhou Qu had brought his family to the mansion after the Lantern Festival.A yard has been set aside for Zhou Qu on the Hefu side, not far from Liu Quan'er's, and it's not too big, but it's big enough for an ordinary family to live in.The important thing is that this location is in Hefu, so the meaning is different.

Zhou Qu and Liu Quan'er are the housekeepers of the inner and outer courts. Liu Quan'er follows He Shen to take care of a lot of things outside. Zhou Qu's management here is not actually the inner court's affairs, but Zhuangzi's side is entrusted to him. Let's face it, it's true that it has something to do with money.Because he came back just after the Lantern Festival, Zhou Qu also caught up with Liu Quan'er and Wei Mian's banquet and drank two glasses of wedding wine.

Now that spring is about to start, things in Zhuangzi are seasonal. Heshen has a big family and business. There are seven or eight Zhuangzi, and a hundred hectares of fertile land is not too much, and renting to tenants still needs to focus on the harvest every year.

She went in and put the account book on Zhou Qu's table. Zhou Qu was making some calculations. When he finished typing, he looked up and saw Feng Shuangzhi coming. The villain is sorry."

Feng Shuangzhi just sat down on the armchair by the wall, pressed his hand, and asked Zhou Qu to sit down, and said, "Look at the harvest this year, if there are years of floods and droughts, the situation at the shop may not be able to support it." In the past, you paid attention to some..."

Last year, because of the bad harvest, the price of rice has risen a lot. This year, everyone is waiting to see how the solar terms will be after the beginning of spring this year. If the season is not good, the price of rice will go up. Feng Shuangzhi has always kept this in mind. Son.Last year, Qianlong said that the price of rice was flat, but in the end it was a dead letter, and Feng Shuangzhi was afraid that one day he would hit the gun.

It's just that rice shop is a relatively big business here.

In addition to the rice shop, there are also many silk and satin shops and antique shops under Heshen's name. Now that they are booming, they are making money every day.

She wanted Zhou Qu to go down to Jiangnan to contact the shop in Jiangnan, and after she finished speaking, she asked: "I heard that Liu Quan'er caused trouble outside two days ago, do you know the reason?"

Zhou Qu was startled, he thought Feng Shuangzhi came to ask about the Zhuangzi as a routine, but he didn't expect Feng Shuangzhi to say such a sentence in the end, which surprised Zhou Qu severely.He quietly looked at Feng Shuangzhi's face, but he didn't expect Feng Shuangzhi's lips to be half-smile, and he was startled, so he didn't dare to hide anything, and told the truth about what he knew.

It turned out that before the Lantern Festival, because Liu Quan'er was going to marry Wei Mian, she told the servants in the mansion that she was going to buy some good things for the bride, so she drove the carriage to Hengtai Zhai, unexpectedly bumped into a gentleman outside. son.

This scholar was dressed elegantly. He was looking for something when he entered Hengtai Zhai. He was picking out the item, but he didn't want Liu Quan'er to come. He also liked the item and bought it directly. Also ignored him.It's just that he didn't find anything good, so he went out, and Liu Quan'er went out after picking out something, but the horse on the road didn't know what he ate last night, and suddenly ran amok on the road, Liu Quan'er didn't care much, I had to control the horse first, but I still knocked over something on the road.

After Liu Quan'er controlled the horse, the whole street was already in chaos. He didn't think too much, so he directly led the horse to leave.Who would have thought that there would be an extra nosy person, it was the scholar I met in Hengtaizhai just now.This person actually directly grabbed Liu Quan'er and asked Liu Quan to compensate the people who were bumped into stalls all over the street. Liu Quan'er was about to get married, and when he encountered such a thing, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. This person didn't want to say more, so he surrendered to this person.

The scholar was also stubborn, and the two started fighting when they disagreed. Later, it was Wang Jie's sedan chair that passed in front of them, and the two were pulled away, so the fight did not continue.

Immediately Liu Quan'er said in front of the street that Wang Jiemo wanted to protect the scholar.

Liu Quan'er was also angry for a while. He came back and told Zhou Qu that he planned to lose money, but where did he bring so much money?What he thought was to go back to the Hefu so that he could get the money, how could he expect to meet such an evil star?

When Zhou Qu told the whole story about this incident, he was a little puzzled, where did Feng Shuangzhi get the news, as if she knew everything about this world.

When he heard Wang Jie's name, Feng Shuangzhi knew something was going to happen.

There is a bad feeling in plain sight... But Liu Quan'er's matter doesn't bother He Shen. He Shen and Wang Jie are political enemies. If there is more, there is not much, and if there is less, there is a lot. Feng Shuangzhi After weighing it over, he asked instead: "Has anyone sent someone to find out who that scholar is?"

"I heard that he was just a poor scholar. Liu Quan'er said he had a Hunan accent, but when he greeted Lord Wang Jie, he called himself 'Xie Zhending'." Zhou Qu didn't know why, but felt that this man was going to be in trouble.

As soon as Feng Shuangzhi put down the teacup, he said: "If you find this person's residence later, he will find Liu Quan'er for me. Wang Jie won't mess with him. He will ask Liu Quan'er to find this person to explain the whole story of what happened that day, and then investigate Xie Zhending thoroughly. .”

There are things everywhere, Feng Shuangzhi feels that he is very busy.

After explaining to Zhou Qu, she left and went back to the house, and when she entered the door, she saw He Shen already sitting in the house.Just as Feng Shuangzhi wanted to ask about the Empress Dowager, He Shen waved his hand and said, "The Empress Dowager is gone, and the Emperor is also sick now. He is very sad and frustrated. I ordered the fifteenth elder brother to assist in political affairs. I think it will be soon."

He means……

Feng Shuangzhi never thought of it, "Didn't you say that the emperor's health is still good?"

He Shen smiled, pulled her to sit down, and the dark light in his eyes was a bit more calculated, "I don't know if it's good. The emperor's body is really broken, but now the fifteenth elder brother Suddenly, he stood on the cusp of the storm, and he was about to become a target. Do you know the prince of Kangxi?"

"You mean, Elder Brother Fifteen will be the target of public criticism?" I think it must be the case, but I don't know what mood Yongyan is in now.After painstakingly planning for the throne for so many years, now that the emperor fell ill, he even gave him the power to oversee the country, but the eighth elder brother and the eleventh elder brother were not completely abolished.

He Shen said: "If the fifteenth elder brother can survive this, everything will be fine. The queen mother died, everyone in our house should not make trouble, keep everything low-key, and no mistakes can be made at this juncture. I listen to the palace. The people in the village spread the news that they will ask you to go to the Empress Dowager's Lingqian at night..."

"The empress dowager is gone. I'm just a courtier's wife, how can I go to the palace?" No matter how you look at it, it's against the rules.

The queen mother has just left for a while, how could such a thing happen?

Naturally, He Shen felt weird before, and he had already inquired clearly, so he said: "You must be liked by the queen mother, because of the story of the stone, now the queen mother left a message before she left, and you want to finish listening to the story, so you carry the manuscript, Read it for the last time, just come back."

After all, it is just a story of stones, how can the Queen Mother miss it so much?

He Shen knew that she was puzzled, but said: "It's not about the overthrow of a big family. It's about the previous dynasty. Lafayette remembered it when he was alive, and it's true that he had some thoughts in his heart. There are many people in the palace , you just pay attention."

Now is a good opportunity for Heshen, because Qianlong valued Sun Shiyi and Li Shiyao very much. If Qianlong completely controlled the government, it would be difficult to convict these two people. Now Qianlong fell ill and was assisted by the fifteenth elder brother In political affairs, at least He Shen has an opportunity to take advantage of.He came back to explain the affairs of the palace to Feng Shuangzhi. After Feng Shuangzhi nodded in response, he glanced at He Shen, but felt that He Shen had something to say, so he asked, "Do you have anything else?" Any other plans?"

He Shen laughed at her cleverness, and said, "I'll deal with the incident between Sun Shiyi and Li Shiyao, don't worry."

Feng Shuangzhi didn't ask too much, and she seldom had a say in official affairs.

After He Shen told her about the news from the palace, someone really came from the palace after a while, and asked Feng Shuangzhi to go. Feng Shuangzhi, who was already prepared, set off fairly quickly, but when he arrived in the palace, he saw It was solemn and solemn, and wherever they went, the palace officials lowered their heads and hurried on their feet, as if they were afraid of causing trouble.This kind of atmosphere made Feng Shuangzhi a little surprised, she suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and walked towards the Queen Mother's palace gate like this, it was all white, and there were many palace people attached to it.

Aunt Qin was also outside, wearing a white mourning dress, and greeted Feng Shuangzhi. Feng Shuangzhi didn't know what to say, and Aunt Qin didn't say anything, but let her in.

When entering the palace, Feng Shuangzhi found that even though the brazier was burning in the room, it felt cold. After turning around a few bamboo bead curtains, she saw the empress dowager's bed that she was already familiar with.

The queen mother was lying there, already changed into new clothes, the emperor was not there, she said that she fell ill, so she only ordered Feng Shuang to come, and the fifteenth elder brother stood guard here instead of him.

When Feng Shuangzhi came in, she saw Shiwu kneeling outside, and after a short stretch, she followed Aunt Qin in.

She brought the manuscript and knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager. Now that she is dead, she can still feel the power and nobility of her life in this Palace of Compassion and Peace.

After being a queen mother for decades, she was so quiet when she died.

No one spoke, only the sound of Feng Shuangzhi reading. The last forty chapters were said to be nonsense, and Feng Shuangzhi didn't care much. After she finished reading, Nanny Fang helped her up and took her to the back hall. Take two steps.

After all, Feng Shuangzhi is not from the palace, nor is he related to the Empress Dowager, so he doesn't have to kneel in front like others, for Feng Shuangzhi, it's just a matter of meaning.

It's just that when she arrived in the back hall, she didn't see anyone, and she was frightened for a moment, but she saw Nanny Fang and Aunt Qin leaning towards her back, and then saw that it was Yongyan who had come in.

She hurriedly followed Fushen, "Master Fifteen."

Yongyan lightly raised his hand, and unexpectedly let Nanny Fang and Aunt Qin go out.Feng Shuangzhi was secretly startled, could it be that these two are already Yongyan's people?Presumably Yong Yan made certain arrangements after knowing that the queen mother had murderous intentions for her that day?She didn't speak, but she saw Yongyan took out a roll of embroidered Yizhi from his sleeve, which was clearly used by the Empress Dowager.

Her scalp went numb, but she didn't speak.

Yong Yan didn't speak, his eyes were a little sunken, he seemed to be haggard all of a sudden, but the light in his eyes flickered, it was clear that he had reached the moment when he was most satisfied.It's just that Yongyan became more silent when it got to this kind of time. He loosened his fingers, and one side of the scroll fell directly. Unfolding the edict, Feng Shuangzhi could clearly see the contents inside.

When Feng Shuangzhi read it, he was startled.

The words written here are not long, but they are murderous. The empress dowager's bright red phoenix seal at the back fell on the tail like weeping blood.

Feng Shuangzhi looked at it, then moved his eyes to Yongyan.

Yongyan was still speechless, so he casually threw the Yizhi into the brazier, the bright yellow flames slowly engulfed the yellow silk, and it disappeared completely. cold sweat.

She bowed and bowed her head: "Thank you, Lord Fifteen."

"Even if there is really nothing going on in the palace these days, don't get too close to Concubine Dun, and cut off contact with Eleventh Sister-in-Law as much as possible."

Yong Yan nodded to her like this, and then left the back hall by himself, turned around and went to the front hall to kneel again.

Feng Shuangzhi later saw Aunt Qin and Nanny Fang walking in again, she knew that these two people had been in the palace for a long time, and now they could see everything clearly.After knowing that Yongyan conspired with her, he must have guessed that she was not sincere towards the Queen Mother, right?However, there is no need for everyone to pierce this layer of window paper, to save face for themselves and the other party.After the queen mother left, they were just helpless, even if they knew about it, they couldn't do anything.At most, he thought that Feng Shuangzhi was a scheming person. Feng Shuangzhi had used a lot of tricks, so he didn't want to say anything, so he just sat down and drank a cup of tea.After hearing from Aunt Qin that the emperor had killed several careless servants, seeing that it was getting late, she took her leave and left.

Once out of the palace, she knew she was completely safe.

Everything seemed to have settled down, and it was already a piece of tranquility for her.

The court situation, which was not obvious before Qianlong fell ill, suddenly became clear at this time - who can not understand the emperor's meaning when the fifteenth elder brother supervises the country?

The 42nd year of Qianlong was a good time for the fifteenth elder brother.

For He Shen, this is also a good time.

After returning to the Hefu, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a maidservant in a peach red jacket running past the door. Feng Shuangzhi's eyes turned cold, and he stopped, looking at the maidservant's back, and shouted: "Call me here!" .”

The people below saw her cold face, and thought of what she said before, everyone in the house should dress plainly, but this little girl was dressed in gorgeous clothes, how could they let her go at this time?

The people in this mansion are used to An Sheng, maybe they don't listen to Feng Shuangzhi much anymore?

She raised her hand and touched the table on her wrist habitually, her eyes were full of thoughts.

The maid was brought here, Feng Shuangzhi saw the fear on her face, and asked softly: "Do you know that I gave an order at noon?"

"Your servant... know, know..." The maid did not dare to raise her head, but trembled violently.

Feng Shuang stopped moving, and went straight through the second gate, saying: "Drag down and slap twenty, just to warn others."

No one comes out to set the rules, so no one can be vigilant. This time is not as good as before. If someone catches a wrongdoing and reports it to Qianlong, it depends on the fact that Qianlong punished several careless servants to death in a fit of anger. , I knew that if I made a mistake at this time, it would be beyond redemption.

Now is the time to flex your muscles, but it is also the time to be most careful.

Very contradictory, but very natural.

Feng Shuangzhi entered the room and went to coax Tuanzi, thinking of Concubine Dun and Eighth Prince.

Yongyan said that asking her to stay away from Concubine Dun was exactly what she wanted.

Ever since Lord Yongzheng has established the crown prince in secret, Yong Yan knew that he was the crown prince from the very beginning, has he seen the hidden imperial decree now?

Anyway, the person with the greatest chance of winning now is Yong Yan.

Feng Shuangzhi and the others who support Yongyan seem to be able to breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

It's just that I'm afraid that the birds will be exhausted and the good bow will be hidden. At the beginning, the Queen Mother may not have used Feng Shuangzhi's knife to kill people, but also borrowed her mouth and eyes. Now Yongyan is using Heshen.In the future, he will be the enthroned emperor, and I only hope that there will be no mistakes.

Feng Shuangzhi didn't go out recently, and he didn't have many friends. When the cold spring came in the capital, and it snowed for a long time, the business in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion was sluggish, and he didn't dare to open the door. Even the hotels and inns were empty. There has been no happy event in the capital for several months, and it seems extraordinarily quiet.

Compared with such quietness, the incident He Shen made was a big commotion.

On March [-]th, Haining played the impeachment of Sun Shiyi and Li Shiyao for corruption and bribery, and Fukang'an and Heshen agreed unprecedentedly.

Brother Fifteen couldn't make up his mind about this matter, and didn't dare to make up his mind, so he had to report it to Qianlong. Qianlong watched the memorial for a long time during his illness, and even coughed up a mouthful of blood, ordering a strict investigation into the matter.

So He Shen went to Yunnan and Guizhou in person to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Li Shiyao is a university scholar, and Sun Shiyi is also a senior official from Yunnan and Guizhou. After He Shen arrived there, he only pretended to be mediocre, as if he was in the same league as Li Shiyao and Sun Shiyi.It’s just that He Shen’s trick is not new. He used it once in Jiangnan, but at that time the officials in Jiangnan thought he was an honest official turned corrupt official. In the eyes of Sun Shiyi and Li Shiyao, He Shen has always been a villain and a corrupt official. So I never thought that He Shen was an upright official.

He Shen also used his plan, and only acted on his own nature, bluffing the group of people around, turning around and backing out, and he had already obtained the criminal evidence of Sun Shiyi and Li Shiyao.

When he returned to Beijing in mid-summer, as soon as he reported this matter to his superiors, Yong Yan was ready to severely punish these two people. He hated corrupt officials and extravagance, and it was unexpected that Qianlong would be extra merciful to these two people.

Fu Kang'an said: "Sun Shiyi and Li Shiyao paid a lot of things to the emperor in the early years. They said that these two people were corrupt, but in fact most of the things were in the hands of the emperor. If he executed these two people because of this, I'm afraid..."

Yongyan sat in the chair behind the book case, only took the memorial to the monk, and said expressionlessly: "Huang Ama is old."

Old and confused.
