There is a big problem with my harem [Qing Chuan]

Chapter 106 The 7rd Year of Kangxi

There is also Concubine Tong Gui. Although she was a bit petty before, she did her best to treat the two pregnant concubines. If such a big scapegoat was thrown on her head, it would be too aggrieved.

"Su Mala, go and call the emperor, the Ai family has something to discuss with him."

"Yes."

Regardless of the fact that everyone in the palace was dizzy from the shock of this news, Concubine Tong Gui in the Forbidden City was already fidgeting.She bestowed death on all the palace servants present - when she remembered the two sweeping eunuchs who were controlled by the nanny first, and when the nanny rushed to pick them up, the two of them actually smashed their heads against the pillars and swallowed gas!

Concubine Tong Gui didn't know that she had fallen into the trap of others, and was swept away by others!But in the entire palace, I am the only one who can handle this matter. If the news about the deformed child is spread, I am afraid that the empress dowager and the emperor will not be able to spare me...

Thinking of this, Concubine Tong shuddered, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and hold back the anger in her heart, and worked hard to reprimand everyone in the harem, and shut her mouth tightly!After beating and killing many palace officials with bad mouths, the atmosphere in the Forbidden City became more and more solemn. Concubine Tong felt physically and mentally tired, and her symptoms of insomnia became more severe.

She sent several letters to the emperor one after another. On the one hand, she mentioned the news of the death of the pure nobleman's mother and child, and on the other hand, she told her bitterness and helplessness. She stretched her neck and waited for the news that the emperor would drive back to the palace.

But what was waiting was Kangxi's advisers to go back to the palace to declare the decree: to add a pure nobleman to be a diligent concubine, and to be buried as a "concubine".

There was no other word, and even when the news reached Concubine Tong, the consultants had already rushed to the palace again.

"The consultant left immediately after returning to the palace to announce the decree?" Concubine Tong was surprised and angry—what does the emperor mean?Her face twitched, and she felt chills running down her spine, "Ben Gong, what the hell are these things I did?"

She had such a big matter hidden in her heart, and she was afraid of leaking the news, so she didn't dare to let the Tong family investigate.He could only tell the imperial doctor to take Wu Yachang's pulse every day, and took two confidant maids to the backyard to serve Wu Yachang by his side, absolutely not to let Wu Yachang have any accidents again!

If accidents happen to the two pregnant concubines in Chengqian Palace, no matter how good she thinks!When the queen dies, it won't be her turn to ascend the throne!

Concubine Tong was worried and nervous about doing things in the palace, while the empress dowager in the palace on the other side didn't have any thoughts of resting in the palace, she was quite worried, and her mind flew to the Forbidden City.

Kangxi saw it in his eyes, and the central school had already started, and Lin Ruhai, who was in charge, also sent letters to Yuqian frequently, crying about all kinds of troubles.In order to suppress the situation and let the world know how much the emperor valued the Central Academy, Kangxi also wanted to return to the Forbidden City.

The two bosses in the palace had spoken, and the rest of the people naturally had nothing to say. One by one, they prepared their bags and returned to the Forbidden City in a mighty manner.

Before the Golden Festival, the Forbidden City welcomes back its owner after a long absence in April, and the previous haze was finally swept away in the palace.

Concubine Tong Guifei had never been so active in letting Chaolu and Chunhao go to Jingren Palace and hand over the palace affairs to the Queen, while she herself immediately went to see the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to plead guilty.

Kangxi's face was calm, after listening to Concubine Tong Guifei's explanation, he looked at her slightly raised her head, a few messy strands of hair hanging from the corners of her forehead were hanging by her ears, her plain face without makeup was covered with rain, her small face was pale, and she looked at her pitifully. Own.

Tong Guifei has clearly not been sick in the past few months, but her lips are pale, and her face is as white as a snow lotus, without any rosiness.

If it was normal, Kangxi would definitely say a few more words of comfort, but now he slowly restrained the expression on his face, and only asked Concubine Tong to return to Chengqian Palace to rest indifferently.

The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows slightly, but she put aside her dissatisfaction with Concubine Tong, and looked at Kangxi in surprise: "What? The emperor doesn't feel bad now?"

"I don't understand what the imperial grandmother means?" Kangxi laughed, and rubbed his nose helplessly when he saw that the empress dowager had a stern face and didn't intend to pass by. How about asking me more? The emperor’s grandmother has the heart to put the child under the empress’s knees to raise her, so she doesn’t need to leave the mother to keep the child, and besides, the queen doesn’t plan to raise a child, so naturally this matter has nothing to do with the queen!”

A trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, Concubine Tong kept explaining for herself, and blamed Hesheli and Niu Gulu for all problems.

It's just that she didn't know that the queen didn't plan to raise a child from the very beginning, and even more so, she forgot to arrange people to be beside the pure nobleman. people.

To put it bluntly, if we talk about targeting the empress now, we are targeting the Empress Dowager. Concubine Tong Guifei is singing here, can the Empress Dowager be happy?

Not to mention putting the blame on Hesheli... Kangxi was restless, Hesheli was closely related to the crown prince, and only the stupid concubine Tong Guifei couldn't see the situation clearly!

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager smiled a little: "This Concubine Tong has always been a mindless person, and she has not changed until now."

"It's good that it hasn't changed." At least there won't be any disgusting bad ideas.

"That's true, but is the emperor sure that this matter has nothing to do with Wu Yachang's presence?" Regarding this, the Empress Dowager was still a little bit worried.

"Ah... the dark guard reported that Wu Ya Changzai did move some hands and feet. The pure nobleman—Tong concubine did not give birth prematurely." Kangxi's voice was cold, and she gradually became disgusted, "It's just that she didn't expect Chungui to give birth. It turned out to be a deformity, and I was terrified, and even moved my fetus!"

"If it weren't for the need for a festive news in the harem now, the Ai family would like to kill her immediately!" The Empress Dowager slammed on the table and said bitterly.

"Capital crimes can be avoided, but life crimes cannot be escaped." Kangxi said lightly, "When Wu Yachang gave birth to a child, I will start to deal with it from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Without the slaves who back me up, I don't see what Wuya Changzai can do. Tossing in the palace! It’s just that the child reincarnated in Wu Ya’s womb is suffering, after birth, both men and women should be raised under the empress’s knees!”

Kangxi replied, while carefully calculating in his heart: The order of the first elder brothers is in a mess, which is completely different from history, and he doesn't know whether the sixth elder brother who is currently raised under Tong Guifei's knees will be born soon. It is Yongzheng in history.

With Yinfeng, Kangxi has some inexplicable little expectations. I don't know if Wu Yachang is pregnant with Yongzheng?However, if it is true Yongzheng, it doesn't matter if you are raised under the empress's knees. If not, it is a good choice to grow up carefree by the empress's side.

After chatting with the Empress Dowager for a while, Kangxi retired to Qianqing Palace.

He first ordered Liang Jiugong to send Prince Xuanyu Fuquan and the Chief of the House of Internal Affairs Dai Jiagalu to meet him, and then he asked Lin Ruhai, the Minister of the Household Department and a Bachelor's Attendant who had been waiting in Dongnuange, to meet him.

Although Li Wei and Ming Zhu, the Grand Master of Baohe Palace and Prince Taifu, were also ordered by Kangxi to be in charge of the Central Academy, but they were busy with their official duties, and in the end it fell to Lin Ruhai to take charge of the overall situation.

For the whole summer, Lin Ruhai lived between the Central School and his home.Not to mention the thinness of the whole person, it is also a lot darker. In the past, the handsome and elegant appearance of Yushu facing the wind has long since been thrown away. I don't know where.

"Ruhai has worked hard these past few months." Kangxi was taken aback when he saw Lin Ruhai, and he couldn't help sighing.

From the construction to the opening of the school, Lin Ruhai contributed a lot to it.

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly and touched the side of his face, he knew it - even his wife and daughter at home already disliked him quite a bit.But in front of Kangxi, Lin Ruhai didn't dare to answer this question, but said sternly: "Your Majesty, now the students and masters have officially started classes."

"Well, how are the students doing?"

"Returning to the emperor, it seems that many royal families still think that the Central Academy is the same as the Guozijian except for the slightly different curriculum. It has only been a month since the school started, and the minister and other teachers have already accepted bribes from nearly half of the staff. , the list is in the hand of the minister!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Ruhai handed out a memorial with both hands and placed it on the little eunuch's tray, while explaining to Kangxi carefully: "I follow your instructions, and all the received amount, time, and related parties are written in the above."

"Well, when the exam is held at the end of the year, it will also be conducted in the same way as the imperial examination. Everyone's examination list and names need to be sealed like the imperial examination." Kangxi nodded, waved the memorial in his hand, but did not immediately Looking at the plan of the memorial, "After all the test results are out and announced, a bracket will be set at the end, and each person who accepts bribes will be deducted [-] points."

"Your Majesty, the total score of this paper is [-] points, if you deduct [-] points...?"

"If you deduct [-] points and still pass, you can naturally stay. If you deduct [-] points and fail, you will still be expelled from school. If you have deducted [-] points, hehe, those who have negative or zero points, then list them on the list Let's go." There was a hint of murder in Kangxi's words.

"Yes, I obey the order."

"Other students and how are the newcomer assessments going in the six parts?"

"Your Majesty, the situation in the Six Departments is slightly better than I expected. Although most officials from official families are not familiar with common affairs, they still have some basic knowledge of these matters, and a small number of them are even proficient. On the contrary, they are students from ordinary families. , all the mundane affairs at home are taken care of by the family, and they don't know anything about it."

Lin Ruhai replied earnestly: "I have already arranged the first exam, and the situation is better than I expected. With the matter of the emperor's fury before leaving, many officials have made up their lessons in private, only about one-third One of the officials failed.

Officials who failed the exam are now going to the Central Academy, and Master Mingzhu will arrange a second round of assessment for them at the beginning of next month. "

"Very good, remember to be strict and never skimp."

"I understand."

"Where are the students?"

"The situation of the students is not bad. Although many people are extremely stubborn and their ability to accept is slightly poor, most of them are still acceptable, and their background is better than that of craftsmen. According to Yichen, I am afraid that the probability of passing this examination is higher than that of officials. The sons and craftsmen of the family are all tall."

Kangxi nodded in satisfaction. He had great hopes for the students who are interested in this place.

After talking about the business, he remembered what the secret guard had reported to him, and asked tentatively with a smile: "Lin Aiqing, it is said that Miss Dong has stayed in your house again and again?"

Lin Ruhai was taken aback, and immediately knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty! I dare not insult Miss Dong's innocence! Miss Dong and my wife and daughter hit it off right away, and she frequently came to Lin's mansion to give lectures to my daughter. What I said There is absolutely no falsehood!"

"I haven't blamed you yet, what are you afraid of?" Kangxi was taken aback. Lin Ruhai was very knowledgeable and knew how to use people well. Even after knowing Dong Hanshuang's identity as a woman, he quickly accepted it and never cast a strange look on her. Among the many courtiers who know the inside story, they are unique.It is precisely because of this that in the letters Dong Hanshuang sent to Kangxi, he was mentioned five or six times out of ten.

Just seeing Lin Ruhai's aggrieved and helpless appearance, Kangxi's curiosity arose in his heart, and he asked carefully: "Lin Aiqing, what's wrong with you and Miss Dong?"

"Your Majesty!" Lin Ruhai was so frightened that she couldn't figure it out, and hurriedly explained this matter—if Miss Dong was not interested in Lord Mingzhu from the beginning, she was very curious about herself, Jia Min and Daiyu. Simply taking advantage of his absence in the mansion, he came to meet him at home.

Hearing this from the boy who reported the news, he winked and winked from Master Mingzhu, and was so scared out of his wits by his strange movements that he was afraid of being misunderstood by his wife and daughter, and rode home like a madman!

Who would have expected that Miss Dong would not only fall in love with Daiyu at first sight, but also fall in love with each other when they see each other again... Pooh!After meeting just once, the two talked like crazy, and even his wife Jia Min admired her endlessly.

No, there will be a second time once, and a third time... By the time Lin Ruhai realized that something was wrong, the rumors about his affair with an unknown girl had spread to the ears of other courtiers, and many of his colleagues even hinted that they should deal with it. Don't forget to invite them when drinking.

In the eyes of everyone, Lin Ruhai, who has been married for more than ten years and has no children, is a third-rank official. Even if he is married to the daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, it is normal to welcome one or two good concubines.

But in the eyes of the Rongguo Mansion, it was all the fault of Lin Ruhai and Miss Dong!How angry Jia's mother was, she didn't mention it, instead of making Jia Zheng go to the Yamen to preach.Originally there was Jia She, but since Jia Lian also enrolled in the Central Academy, Jia She was very happy to see Lin Ruhai, and he was also a promiscuous person, so he didn't listen to Jia's mother's words at all.

Seeing this, Jia's mother simply asked Lai Da to stop Miss Dong's carriage and drag her directly to Rongguo Mansion!
