Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty
Chapter 130
When Kua Dai heard such words, he was startled. If the time of waking up every day was getting shorter and shorter, then after ten days and a half a month, he might be able to hear the mourning letter.
But he is not a young man anymore, it is a bit inappropriate to go to the harem at this time.
"Your Majesty, the slave is a foreign minister after all."
When Kangxi heard this, he also felt that this was quite right. Kangxi did not regard him as an outsider, but it would be unreasonable to take him to the harem.
"Chengqian Palace is a bit biased after all, so how about it, you wait for a while, I will ask someone to bring my cousin over."
Kangxi was talking nonsense with his eyes open. The location of Chengqian Palace is not remote. If it is really counted, it is still a good palace.
But Kangxi has doubts about everything in his heart recently. His cousin is getting more and more sick. In his opinion, it is not because the members of the fourth family are careless. The second is Chengqian Palace. Maybe it is because of bad Fengshui that is not conducive to the recovery .
After he had such an idea, he couldn't suppress it anymore. Didn't Concubine Dong E of the late emperor also died of illness?
Since the cousin moved in, there have been three disasters and eight disasters. Perhaps it is really because the bad feng shui of Chengqian Palace is not good for the imperial concubine.It is reasonable to say that it is okay to move the cousin to Kunning Palace at this time, but Kunning Palace has not been inhabited for a long time, and there are often sacrifices. The place has a strong smell of incense and is not very popular.
Some time ago, when Kangxi and Tian Mi talked about moving the palace, Tian Mi didn't want to live in it, and said that she had been ill for a long time and couldn't stand it.
In Kangxi's view, the place of Kunning Palace may not be an auspicious place. One of the two empresses of the late emperor was abolished, and the other was like living in a cold palace.Neither of his two queens lived long.
Especially the last empress, Empress Xiaozhao, was fine before she lived in it, but she disappeared within two or three years after she lived in it.Although he didn't care a little about these Feng Shui theories, he didn't dare to take any risks at this time.
Because I often live in the Qianqing Palace, the Qianqing Palace is the emperor's bedroom, so it stands to reason that this place is full of righteousness and majesty.It's okay to move my cousin here.
So he asked people to do it immediately, first move Tian Mi out, and then ordered people to arrange it in the side hall as soon as possible.
And took all the things that Tian Mi used frequently, and didn't let Tian Mi go back in a short time.
When they arrived at the emperor's bedroom, the female relatives in the fourth elder brother's house would no longer need them, so Li Dequan also asked Si Fujin to take someone to pack up and leave the palace to go home.
Tian Mi was picked up, and when she was picked up, she was still unconscious and carried into the side hall, Kua Dai followed a few steps, seeing that Tian Mi's face was pale, her eyes sunken and her lips were chapped, but her cheeks were a little red.
Even if Kua Dai didn't quite understand what was going on, and it was impossible to tell what kind of disease he had from his face, but his face looked different from ordinary people.Seeing people like this, I couldn't help but feel anxious, "Your Majesty, what did the imperial physician say?"
"What else can I say? Of course it means that my cousin has a serious illness. It's the old words that I said over and over again." Kangxi sighed, "So we can't rely on the imperial physician for everything. Famous doctors should take the time to inquire.”
Kuadai nodded, stayed in Qianqing Palace for a while and went home.
Yang Dan was going to visit Tian Mi in the harem, but he hurried over when he heard that Tian Mi had been moved to Qianqing Palace.
When he came, he brought a message to Kangxi by the way, "I heard that many people suddenly visited mynah today, but the people from the General Administration Department didn't get specific information, they only got the list of people who went to visit."
Kangxi waved his hand, "Forget it, I don't want to argue with these scoundrels anymore. The most important thing now is your mother's body, and I don't care about anything else."
Yang Dan also sighed for a while, and waited here for more than an hour to say a few words to Er Niang, Tian Mi never woke up, but Tian Mi woke up when Hong Hui came.
Kangxi couldn't help but patted his grandson on the shoulder, "You're still lucky, your uncle waited here for a long time but couldn't say a word. When you came, he woke up."
Tian Mi smiled with difficulty, reached out to touch her grandson's little hand, and then took Yang Dan's hand with her own.
"You don't know whether it's luck or misfortune, child. Last year your Ama passed away, and you had to keep your filial piety for three years. At that time, I said that I didn't know what kind of Fujin would be suitable for you, but now it's just passed It's my turn again this year, if I'm gone then, who will worry about you marrying Fujin."
Before Yang Dan could speak, Kangxi couldn't help but put on a straight face, "Don't say it's unlucky, we still want to live a long life and watch their children gather in groups."
Yang Dan immediately opened his mouth to answer, "When the time comes, my son will lose all his teeth and grow a beard. He will still beg for candy from you on crutches even if he is so confused."
Tian Mi also grinned, no one wants to live longer, but Tian Mi really feels that her life has come to an end, she has felt this way before.This life is considered to be picked up, it is already a blessing.
At this time, it was almost dark, Tian Mi felt hungry, and said to Kangxi: "Cousin, is this in the Qianqing Palace? I'm hungry right now, and I want to eat porridge with preserved eggs and lean meat."
Having said that, Kangxi felt happy, as long as his cousin could eat, there was hope.He hurriedly yelled at the maids to bring a bowl of porridge with preserved egg and lean meat.Even if it doesn't happen right now, let the imperial dining room find a way.
The three generations of old, middle-aged and young people were all happy now, and Kangxi even felt in his heart that moving his cousin here was the most correct decision he made, otherwise, in Chengqian Palace, the cousin would not even be able to eat anything , Why did it take me a long time to come to my side and I already started to want to eat.
Tian Mi really has no appetite, but Tian Mi knows that people are iron and rice are steel. In this era when medical conditions cannot keep up, the most direct way to strengthen your immune system and your resistance is to eat .
After a while, a court lady came in with porridge, Yang Dan went up to pick up the porridge, touched the bowl with his hand, and found it was not too hot.
Hong Hui went up to help Tian Mi up, and a court lady put a few big cushions behind her for her to lean on.Kangxi scooped up a spoonful, blew a few times and fed it to Tian Mi.Tian Mi forced herself to eat more than half of the bowl, and finally found that after eating, the food had reached her throat, she was dizzy, and she might have to spit it out before she stopped eating.
At this time, he was short of breath, his face was flushed sickly, and his whole body was extremely weak.Tian Mi wanted to lie down and fall asleep, but Kangxi refused to let her sleep, and told her to drink the medicine before going to sleep.
Tian Mi endured the pain and drank the medicine again, lying on the bed for a while before lying down.Stomach discomfort, dizziness, limp limbs, and sweating.Feeling pain in all internal organs, Tian Mi didn't know what kind of illness it was.Only by silently enduring, actively drinking medicine and eating, can you live one more day.
But this afternoon, because she ate too much, she also drank the medicine, which made many people feel that she was getting better.
Before going to court the next day, when it was still dark, Kangxi came over to take a look, and the maid who kept watch at night reported that the empress had slept soundly all night.
Kangxi lifted Tian Mi's quilt a little bit, and found that Tian Mi was still short of breath.The chest rises and falls are particularly large. In order to breathe more conveniently, I open my mouth and use both the mouth and nose when I sleep.
Finally, Kangxi ordered the maid to bring the thin silk quilt, so that the cousin should not cover it so heavily.
After giving the order, he took the people to the court, and the things discussed in the hall today are still the matters of the empress dowager.
After receiving the report from Kua Dai yesterday, Kangxi already had a general understanding of the drama that will be staged today.Yesterday Kangxi was still thinking about it. I don't know what Lao Ba was thinking in his heart. If he wanted to have a better background, it would be best to go along with the flow and agree to the Tong family's proposal.
But then again, doing so hurt Concubine Liang's heart.Concubine Liang had no choice but to give her son to Concubine Hui to raise her when she was young.At that time, Eighth Prince belonged to the one who was sent out.And at this time, if the eighth elder brother asks to be the queen's son on his own initiative, then there is a world of difference from Concubine Liang sending her son out. big interest.
After the Great Court Meeting began, someone jumped out and said that the Empress Dowager had an order from the old man that if the imperial concubine did not give birth to an heir, she would not be allowed to be named empress.
After this statement came out, the fourth elder brother was very angry. The fourth elder brother knew that this was Er Niang's last chance. Seeing Er Niang's current body, if she dragged on, she would have to chase her down.
Looking back, the people who jumped out were all from Baba, and Brother Si knew better than anyone else what kind of fancy intestines there was in Baba's belly.There is nothing to argue with these slaves, and there is no need for him to jump out and argue with them in person.
Sure enough, someone from the Tong family was dispatched at this time, and this person was Fa Hai, the eighth elder brother's master.Fahai's official position is not high, but he is qualified to go to court, and he is a educated person. When he talks about the truth, he uses elegant words and strict logic.And because he is the master of the eighth elder brother, no matter what, others always give him some face, and he is the younger brother of the imperial concubine, so there are too many labels on him at once, and the people of the eighth master party don't know how to attack him .
Moreover, Fahai and Ba Age, the master-student pair, are a bit unexpected. Others are masters and apprentices are natural allies. As a result, when it comes to them, the master doesn't like the apprentice, and the apprentice doesn't like the master either. Just keep looking good.
At this time, Fahai stood in the middle, talking freely, and Eighth Brother could only listen with a smile on his face.
Because Fahai's fighting power is too strong, today's court meeting seems a little calm.Kangxi looked at it for a while and found it boring. No one is Fa Hai's opponent. If he wants to see a good show, he has to wait until tomorrow.After all, the group of people under Eighth Prince will not compromise easily.If they don't make this matter a little bigger, and don't stir up this matter, they will be ashamed to mention that the old eight is recorded in the queen's name.
In other words, Ba Ye's faction finally found that they couldn't stop the embargo, so they had to find another way to turn the matter of embargo into something beneficial to them.
After the end of the court meeting, the fourth elder brother was so angry that his whole body was smoking, and he felt thunder billowing behind him when he took a step.He left the palace with a black smoke that was invisible to the naked eye.
Because of the incident in the court hall, the fifth child came to find his mother in a hurry.
"Do you think the matter of sealing the empress will succeed in the end?"
Concubine Yi gave her son a blank look, "There is nothing impossible for the emperor to do, you can rest assured that the empress will still be the empress in the end."
The fifth child took a sip of tea, "My son heard that the imperial concubine is not in good health, so I don't know if she can last until the eighth day of the next month. Also, if the palace really confers the queen, it will be a great joy. At that time, Lao Jiu might be released in advance. If he is released in advance, I don't know whether Lao Jiu's plan will be successful or not."
Concubine Yi doesn't want to talk about Lao Jiu, she usually thinks this son is quite smart, but when it comes to critical moments, she thinks this son is stupid.
Although the imperial concubine takes good care of everyone, she is not a queen after all.The close prince called Tong Erniang to others, especially when the fifth child had a good relationship with the fourth elder brother, so every time he came to Tian Mi, he followed the fourth elder brother and called Er Niang. In order to distinguish, the front added a surname.Lao Qi also called it that way when he was a child, and when he met on the road these years, he also called him Tong E Niang affectionately.
But none of the other little elder brothers below this old eight called her that.If the imperial concubine becomes a queen, then she will be the mother of all the princes in name, and she will be called Huang'en Niang when they meet each other.
The biological mothers of these princes have to take a step back in front of the queen, and they must pay attention to this point when speaking in front of the queen in the future. For example, if the fifth child mentions Concubine Yi, he can no longer refer to my mother, but only to concubine Yi.
And because there has been no queen in the palace for decades, the rules in some places have been loosened a bit.For example, when these prince Fujin came in to greet these ladies, coming to the palace was as casual as visiting his own garden.Another example is that these empresses in the palace teach the prince Fujin just like a serious mother-in-law.
Afterwards, the nominal mothers-in-law of these princes Fujin all became queen empresses, and the empress empress allowed them to enter the palace before they could attack.And concubines like Yifei, who have been scattered for so many years, have to get up early every day to greet the empress.
In a word, if there is one more queen in this palace, all of us will have to stand up tight.
For Yifei, she is not happy to have such a person on her head.But there is no way, the emperor thinks so.
After thinking so much, Concubine Yi sighed, "Don't fight against the emperor, he is so focused on making the empress a queen right now, let alone carrying out the orders of the empress dowager back then, even if it is to make the empress dowager It is useless to ask the ancestors to come out at this time."
Maybe it's because she's getting older, she inevitably likes to recall the past, and her mouth is broken. "When I was young, I heard about the grievances and grievances of Empress Xiaocheng, Empress Xiaozhao, and the imperial concubine when I first entered the palace. These three people thought that they were the queen, but two of them became imperial concubines for nothing. Empress Yuan is not pleasing to the eye. In short, there was a lot of trouble back then, and now the wife in the palace is peaceful and calm. Let me tell you that the palace was not peaceful at all in those years..."
Seeing that the old woman was talking about sex at this time, and her face was beaming with joy, the fifth child thought about it, it would be better not to listen to his father's romantic past.
As a man, he is somewhat curious about the emperor's grievances and grievances. As a son, if he finds out about Lao Tzu's romantic affairs back then, it may not be appropriate.But if the emperor is still his father, then don't listen to the secret history of the palace.
"Then what... Er Niang, my son still has something to do at home, so I have to leave now."
Concubine Yi has already saved up a lot of topics and wants to chat with her son, but usually has nothing to say to other people.With those Xiao Chang Zai Xiao promises who came to curry favor with him, let alone talk about such a topic.After thinking about it, I could only talk to my son, but I didn't expect that my son wanted to leave before I started talking.
"I'm leaving now, eat something before leaving..."
"I don't eat, and I'm not hungry." It's not that I'm not hungry, but I'm worried that when you eat, if any old things come out of your mouth, my son doesn't know whether to listen or not.
Concubine Yi looked at her son's back and sighed regretfully.
Lao Wu hurried out of the palace and met Lao Qi at Yujie.The two brothers greeted each other far away.
The seventh child asked the fifth child, "Why did the fifth brother come out so late?"
"The empress was worried about Lao Jiu, so I went over and said a few words to her, where are you going now?"
"I'm going to go to the Yamen of Taipu Temple." The two brothers walked forward together with their horses' heads touching each other.Royal Street is sparsely populated here.Because it is close to the imperial palace, it is not a place that ordinary people can get close to.Even the dignitaries in Forty-Nine City would not go here if they had nothing to do.
Seeing that there was no one on the street, Lao Qi took the reins of the horse and let the horse walk forward slowly, "I don't know how much the fifth brother has heard of the gossip these days?"
"If it's about the imperial concubine, my brother has really heard a lot. By the way, I saw the fourth brother leave in a hurry just now. I wonder if you have talked to him?"
"You don't need to ask, and you don't need to inquire. The fourth brother was almost pissed off by the group of slaves today. We brothers have no desires and desires, so we don't think it's a big deal. I'm afraid for some people, the imperial concubine and empress Becoming a queen will seal their road to heaven."
The fifth child shook his head, "Not at all."
"It's not, but I always feel that this matter is not so simple. I seem to think that this matter has to be reversed..."
"Could it be that you think that the old man approves of the imperial concubine's concubine?"
"It's hard to tell."
The two brothers rode unsteadily on their horses. They speculated for a long time about the evil wind blowing in the two courts, but they didn't come to any conclusions.When it was time to say goodbye, they bowed to each other and went about their own business.
And Kangxi always felt that there was going to be a big show these two days, but he didn't expect that the eighth elder brother was so calm, even though his subordinates and the fourth elder brother's slaves were arguing in a mess in the hall, he didn't express his opinion.
Kangxi was thinking in his heart, could it be that Brother Ba still had a bit of conscience and knew that he couldn't let his mother down.Thinking of this, Kangxi was somewhat relieved, at least this son did not abandon Concubine Liang for the sake of his identity.
It's not that the eighth elder brother didn't want to, but the eighth elder brother had a big fight with 14 because of this incident.
Fourteen pointed at eighth elder brother's nose and scolded for a long time. In ancient times, Zhang Yide said that Lu Fengxian was a family slave with three surnames, but now fourteen scolded eighth elder brother as a mothfly with three surnames.
This made the eighth elder brother very angry. The branch handed over by the Tong family was indeed a tall branch.He really wanted to climb this high branch.But at this juncture, Eighth Prince is also a shameless person.He originally wanted to discuss with his younger brother how to make this matter so that people feel that he became the queen's son out of desperation, instead of abandoning Er Niang on his own initiative.
But I didn't expect my younger brother's reaction to be so hot just as I opened my mouth.
So the topic did not continue to chat, and the two patronized and scolded each other.That's why the eighth elder brother wasted several days without asking people to ask the queen to accept him as his son in the court.
But this matter cannot be delayed any longer. After thinking about it for several days, Eighth Brother felt that this matter should not be discussed with his younger brother, but with Er Niang.
He has two mother-in-laws, and Concubine Hui must be supportive, so he didn't ask Concubine Hui for her opinion at all.Instead, he went directly to see Concubine Liang.
Concubine Liang didn't expect her son to bring up such a topic, and she was very upset right now.From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want her son to do this.There is a folk saying that one would rather be a beggar mother than an official father.There is also a folk saying that a dog does not dislike a poor family and a son does not dislike an ugly mother.But when he came to the eighth elder brother, he seemed to be quite taboo about his current identity.
Concubine Liang looked at her son like this, even though she was sad in her heart and felt that she was holding her son back, but she said it again.A mother will never look at her son in a dilemma.So Concubine Liang quickly adjusted her facial expression, holding her son's hand with a smile.
"If you can really become the son of the imperial concubine... that's really my son's blessing. The imperial concubine is different from the concubine Hui. The imperial concubine is not so overbearing. When we meet each other later, you will also It's so big, you don't need to ask me about this kind of thing, as long as it's good for you, don't discuss it with me."
The eighth elder brother was very satisfied with Er Niang's attitude, and even felt a little grateful.It's just that after he left, Concubine Liang cried for a whole night, until the next day her eyes were so swollen that she couldn't see anyone, she hid in her room and didn't go out.
Fourteen heard about Eighth Prince's decision, and rushed back to Yonghe Palace to discuss with Er Niang.However, Concubine Liang is a person with a particularly weak character.I just persuaded the youngest son not to tear down the situation with the eldest son.So even if Shisi was gnashing his teeth in anger, he could only stand still.
Just because of Ba Prince's actions, Fourteen's original guilt disappeared without a trace.He was even more unscrupulous when poaching the corners of Eighth Prince.
After Eighth Prince made this decision, he quietly breathed out with the people around him.In the final analysis, this matter is still an internal matter of the clan.So Yaljana got the news very quickly.
When he got the news, it meant that Yang Dan got the news. Yaerjiang is still a good brother, and if there is any news, he can tell his younger brother.Hearing the news, he couldn't wait to let his brother be called to the palace to tell him.
Yang Dan, who was sitting drinking tea, immediately stood up after hearing this, "Tell me again, what exactly did you just say?"
"There is a letter from Lao Ba, and I want to ask everyone to help me to record him under the name of the empress."
Yang Dan's brain is not enough at the moment, "Which empress?"
"Which one else could it be? Of course it's the current one. It's not bad for the two previous queens, but how can I put it this way? They're no longer around. It's not as good as this queen who is still alive. In the eyes of the emperor, the weight is even more important. As long as she is a queen As soon as he opened his mouth, the emperor agreed to this matter in all likelihood."
Yang Dan patted his head and thought for a while, "It means that you have to find a way to record the eighth elder brother under the name of Er Niang. But then again, what does the eighth elder brother have to do with my mother? , if you insist on establishing a relationship, that is, my mother and his mother live next door. If you really want to record a person in the name of my mother, then the fourth brother is just right. Think about it, the fourth brother was raised by the mother , started to raise her since the full moon, and now she has started to raise her grandson. Er Niang wants to remember the fourth brother even more, and she doesn't want to remember the starling."
"I think so too, but I can't stand a group of people thinking that this method is feasible. Let me tell you that the old princes in the capital gathered together this afternoon, and even Prince Yu went. Everyone always thinks this is a good idea, either Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, we must talk about this matter in court." Yarjan Ah pressed his voice, "Or you can tell the emperor quietly."
"Why do I say this?" Yang Dan made up his mind to report to Kangxi in advance, but he refused to admit it, "This is their business and has nothing to do with me. After all, I am just a side branch of the clan. , it’s better not to get involved in things like this.”
Early the next morning, these princes all put on python robes and went to court.Kangxi knew what they were going to say just by looking at this posture.
Just like what Yang Dan said, if one had to be recorded in Tian Mi's name, Tian Mi would definitely be willing to record the fourth elder brother.When she was young, Tian Mi did not think of ways, and even brought out the memories of the past. In the dead of night, Kangxi would be woken up by the cousin next to him when he was half asleep. .For a while, he said that he was afraid of being old and helpless, and for a while, he said that the fourth elder brother was pitiful.In a word, she wanted to become a legal mother and son with others.
At that time, Kangxi also firmly disagreed for the sake of the prince.Later, this topic was never discussed again. From the beginning to the end, Kangxi knew that Tian Mi couldn't wait to tie the fourth elder brother with her, but she never thought about the eighth elder brother.
When Prince Zhuang took the lead, he said that after everyone discussed, the imperial concubine was already a candle in the wind, so it was better to give her a comfort in advance at this time, and they all agreed with the queen.But there is one thing that cannot be avoided, that is, the imperial concubine's health is really bad.In order not to make the next thing too embarrassing, it is better to record the eighth elder brother under the name of the imperial concubine, the empress...
Even though he had already got the news, when the words really came out of people's mouths, the fourth elder brother was still trembling with anger.
That's my mother-in-law! ! !
And in the eyes of the fourth prince, the old Prince Zhuang sincerely cursed Erniang.All his assumptions were that the empress was dying, and a prince had to come forward to handle the funeral, preferably her son.In Prince Zhuang's words, the most suitable person is Eighth Prince.
Fit ass!Brother Ba is a sonless man. Not only does he have no son, he doesn't even have a child. He wants to die for Er Niang just like that. He is so beautiful! !
It's better to let the fourth elder brother take the lead in such a half-way mother-child relationship.At least the fourth elder brother has four sons, the eldest son is already half the height of a man, and he is graceful and elegant.And with the imperial concubine and empress day and night, everyone knows that the fourth elder brother is the most suitable person, not the eighth elder brother.
But yesterday, the old princes in the clan had already discussed it, so everyone said that the eighth elder brother was the most suitable person.
The fourth elder brother was trembling with anger, and he didn't care about his status at this time. As soon as he pulled up his sleeves, he was ready to go on stage and fight with these old bastards in person.The fifth and seventh elders next to him quickly grabbed him, and even the third who stood in front of the fourth elder brother also grabbed the fourth elder brother's sleeve.
The third child even said, "Fourth child, are you confused? To capture the thief, you must first capture the king! What do you care about with this old man?"
But the fourth elder brother didn't think so. To capture the thief first, capture the king. When will it be?
Just when he was about to shake off the hand of the third child, someone spoke.
It was Dong'e, the king of Xinjun who spoke, and this was Kangxi's uncle.It is also the one with the highest seniority among this group of old princes.This one is different from the others, who all got their titles from their father.The master's title was inherited from his nephew.
That is to say, the Xin County King a few years ago was still his nephew, but the nephew died and no one inherited it, so the title fell to him again.
This person has had ups and downs all his life, he has been a Baylor, and he has also been an idle clan.When he was in good times, he was also a celebrity in the clan, but when he was down, he didn't even care about dogs on the street.Because of the ups and downs in this life, he has developed a moody temper.
When a group of people were discussing yesterday, he didn't say a word. As a result, he caught yesterday's accomplices by surprise in the court today.
The purpose of the Xinjun King was to cause trouble for other princes, so he asked lazily: "You are very generous here, have you asked the empress if she is happy? After all, she is the one who accepts the son. Since it is If you want to find a son, you must find a caring one, you have put so much trouble here, is the empress willing to let you worry about it?"
After Kangxi heard this, he opened his squinted eyes and looked at this uncle, "King Xinjun is right. How about it, it is better to hit the sun than to choose the day, and we are all here waiting for me to send someone back to ask about it." .”
So Kangxi nodded to Li Dequan and asked him to go to the harem to ask.But Li Dequan knew that when he came out this morning, the imperial concubine had been awake for a long time, and she could get out of bed and walk a few steps after eating something.The emperor was very happy, but because he got out of bed and walked a few steps, he was exhausted and fell asleep again.Now when I go back, I'm already asleep. If I'm a slave myself, why don't I wake him up and ask: "Baye wants to be your son, are you willing?"
I definitely don't want to.The fourth master who has been raised for so long has not been remembered, so how can he remember the eighth master?
But Li Dequan couldn't do anything, all the ministers looked at him, even the emperor said so, he could only agree, drank a cup of tea in the back, dawdled for a while, and quietly went back to the hall.
Being stared at by so many people, Li Dequan didn't blush and his heart skipped a beat, "Your Majesty said, thank you princes for your concern, but this matter is not her own business, and she has to obey the emperor's orders."
Kangxi was a little dissatisfied, feeling that this old slave is useless now.However, there was no expression on her face, "Since she said that, let me tell you about it. You may not know that the imperial concubine is in much better health now, and she will be fine after a while. She will become a queen in the future. These sons of mine are all her sons, is it possible that these sons are not willing to honor the queen? If she has any in the future..."
As soon as Kangxi finished speaking, the princes below quickly knelt down and expressed their filial piety to the empress.
This matter passed like this, although the eighth elder brother did not speak from the beginning to the end, but after the matter was over, he felt that he had been slapped several times on the face.Angry and annoyed, ashamed and angry.
After everyone broke up, the fourth elder brother rushed over and snorted heavily at him.The tension between the two brothers has been completely settled, the fourth elder brother has already thought about it, and the eighth elder brother is not a good thing.Maybe people feel that they are not a good thing, and when we meet again in the future, it will not be your death or mine.
Anyone who robs me of my forehead is not a good thing, and this guy's purpose is not pure.If the eighth elder brother is really filial to Er Niang, that's fine, I'll bear it myself.This guy of mine obviously wants to take advantage of Er Niang to get in the position, and wants to step on Er Niang.Scholars can bear it, which one can't bear it, it's too much.
Kangxi was also dissatisfied. After returning from the front hall, he walked towards the bedroom and couldn't help but glance at Li Dequan.
Kangxi didn't believe that Li Dequan didn't know what he meant to him at that time.After all, he has been master and servant for so many years, and this old slave guesses his own mind every day, so it is impossible not to guess what he just wanted to say.
Kangxi never considered whether his son's mood was good or bad.He just wanted to use Li Dequan's mouth to reprimand Eighth Brother, so that he would not be delusional.But Li Dequan said the words lightly, and in Kangxi's view, this had no effect at all. Eighth Prince was so thick-skinned, and a few light words seemed to him to be harmless.
Having lost a good opportunity to teach his son a lesson, Kangxi felt a little uneasy in his heart.
This matter is over, but Kangxi does not intend to forgive Li Dequan, he is now suspicious, suspecting that Li Dequan has secretly connected with the eighth elder brother.He even felt that Li Dequan was trying to please the eighth elder brother.
Kangxi first went back to look at Tian Mi, and found that she was still asleep at the moment, and the maid guarding Tian Mi reported that the empress had slept well and her breathing was not as heavy as at night.
Finally, Kangxi felt a little happier. His cousin's condition was getting better. When the weather got hot, she might be able to recover.
Yang Dan begged to see him at this time, Kangxi saw him rushing in, "What's the matter?"
"Myna recently found a few good doctors..." He said and put a piece of paper in front of Kangxi.
Kangxi didn't think much about it, Tian Mi was very ill recently, and everyone in the capital who had some knowledge began to inquire about the doctor.During this period of time, the fourth elder brother, apart from the errands in the yamen, has devoted all his energy to inquiring about the doctor.
The eighth elder brother actually wanted to please his cousin, so he had to find some good doctors.Kangxi thought in his heart that these doctors should be here to treat his cousin.
But when I looked down, I realized that these doctors were good at heart disease.
heart disease! ! !
At this moment, Kangxi suddenly felt pain in his chest.
But he is not a young man anymore, it is a bit inappropriate to go to the harem at this time.
"Your Majesty, the slave is a foreign minister after all."
When Kangxi heard this, he also felt that this was quite right. Kangxi did not regard him as an outsider, but it would be unreasonable to take him to the harem.
"Chengqian Palace is a bit biased after all, so how about it, you wait for a while, I will ask someone to bring my cousin over."
Kangxi was talking nonsense with his eyes open. The location of Chengqian Palace is not remote. If it is really counted, it is still a good palace.
But Kangxi has doubts about everything in his heart recently. His cousin is getting more and more sick. In his opinion, it is not because the members of the fourth family are careless. The second is Chengqian Palace. Maybe it is because of bad Fengshui that is not conducive to the recovery .
After he had such an idea, he couldn't suppress it anymore. Didn't Concubine Dong E of the late emperor also died of illness?
Since the cousin moved in, there have been three disasters and eight disasters. Perhaps it is really because the bad feng shui of Chengqian Palace is not good for the imperial concubine.It is reasonable to say that it is okay to move the cousin to Kunning Palace at this time, but Kunning Palace has not been inhabited for a long time, and there are often sacrifices. The place has a strong smell of incense and is not very popular.
Some time ago, when Kangxi and Tian Mi talked about moving the palace, Tian Mi didn't want to live in it, and said that she had been ill for a long time and couldn't stand it.
In Kangxi's view, the place of Kunning Palace may not be an auspicious place. One of the two empresses of the late emperor was abolished, and the other was like living in a cold palace.Neither of his two queens lived long.
Especially the last empress, Empress Xiaozhao, was fine before she lived in it, but she disappeared within two or three years after she lived in it.Although he didn't care a little about these Feng Shui theories, he didn't dare to take any risks at this time.
Because I often live in the Qianqing Palace, the Qianqing Palace is the emperor's bedroom, so it stands to reason that this place is full of righteousness and majesty.It's okay to move my cousin here.
So he asked people to do it immediately, first move Tian Mi out, and then ordered people to arrange it in the side hall as soon as possible.
And took all the things that Tian Mi used frequently, and didn't let Tian Mi go back in a short time.
When they arrived at the emperor's bedroom, the female relatives in the fourth elder brother's house would no longer need them, so Li Dequan also asked Si Fujin to take someone to pack up and leave the palace to go home.
Tian Mi was picked up, and when she was picked up, she was still unconscious and carried into the side hall, Kua Dai followed a few steps, seeing that Tian Mi's face was pale, her eyes sunken and her lips were chapped, but her cheeks were a little red.
Even if Kua Dai didn't quite understand what was going on, and it was impossible to tell what kind of disease he had from his face, but his face looked different from ordinary people.Seeing people like this, I couldn't help but feel anxious, "Your Majesty, what did the imperial physician say?"
"What else can I say? Of course it means that my cousin has a serious illness. It's the old words that I said over and over again." Kangxi sighed, "So we can't rely on the imperial physician for everything. Famous doctors should take the time to inquire.”
Kuadai nodded, stayed in Qianqing Palace for a while and went home.
Yang Dan was going to visit Tian Mi in the harem, but he hurried over when he heard that Tian Mi had been moved to Qianqing Palace.
When he came, he brought a message to Kangxi by the way, "I heard that many people suddenly visited mynah today, but the people from the General Administration Department didn't get specific information, they only got the list of people who went to visit."
Kangxi waved his hand, "Forget it, I don't want to argue with these scoundrels anymore. The most important thing now is your mother's body, and I don't care about anything else."
Yang Dan also sighed for a while, and waited here for more than an hour to say a few words to Er Niang, Tian Mi never woke up, but Tian Mi woke up when Hong Hui came.
Kangxi couldn't help but patted his grandson on the shoulder, "You're still lucky, your uncle waited here for a long time but couldn't say a word. When you came, he woke up."
Tian Mi smiled with difficulty, reached out to touch her grandson's little hand, and then took Yang Dan's hand with her own.
"You don't know whether it's luck or misfortune, child. Last year your Ama passed away, and you had to keep your filial piety for three years. At that time, I said that I didn't know what kind of Fujin would be suitable for you, but now it's just passed It's my turn again this year, if I'm gone then, who will worry about you marrying Fujin."
Before Yang Dan could speak, Kangxi couldn't help but put on a straight face, "Don't say it's unlucky, we still want to live a long life and watch their children gather in groups."
Yang Dan immediately opened his mouth to answer, "When the time comes, my son will lose all his teeth and grow a beard. He will still beg for candy from you on crutches even if he is so confused."
Tian Mi also grinned, no one wants to live longer, but Tian Mi really feels that her life has come to an end, she has felt this way before.This life is considered to be picked up, it is already a blessing.
At this time, it was almost dark, Tian Mi felt hungry, and said to Kangxi: "Cousin, is this in the Qianqing Palace? I'm hungry right now, and I want to eat porridge with preserved eggs and lean meat."
Having said that, Kangxi felt happy, as long as his cousin could eat, there was hope.He hurriedly yelled at the maids to bring a bowl of porridge with preserved egg and lean meat.Even if it doesn't happen right now, let the imperial dining room find a way.
The three generations of old, middle-aged and young people were all happy now, and Kangxi even felt in his heart that moving his cousin here was the most correct decision he made, otherwise, in Chengqian Palace, the cousin would not even be able to eat anything , Why did it take me a long time to come to my side and I already started to want to eat.
Tian Mi really has no appetite, but Tian Mi knows that people are iron and rice are steel. In this era when medical conditions cannot keep up, the most direct way to strengthen your immune system and your resistance is to eat .
After a while, a court lady came in with porridge, Yang Dan went up to pick up the porridge, touched the bowl with his hand, and found it was not too hot.
Hong Hui went up to help Tian Mi up, and a court lady put a few big cushions behind her for her to lean on.Kangxi scooped up a spoonful, blew a few times and fed it to Tian Mi.Tian Mi forced herself to eat more than half of the bowl, and finally found that after eating, the food had reached her throat, she was dizzy, and she might have to spit it out before she stopped eating.
At this time, he was short of breath, his face was flushed sickly, and his whole body was extremely weak.Tian Mi wanted to lie down and fall asleep, but Kangxi refused to let her sleep, and told her to drink the medicine before going to sleep.
Tian Mi endured the pain and drank the medicine again, lying on the bed for a while before lying down.Stomach discomfort, dizziness, limp limbs, and sweating.Feeling pain in all internal organs, Tian Mi didn't know what kind of illness it was.Only by silently enduring, actively drinking medicine and eating, can you live one more day.
But this afternoon, because she ate too much, she also drank the medicine, which made many people feel that she was getting better.
Before going to court the next day, when it was still dark, Kangxi came over to take a look, and the maid who kept watch at night reported that the empress had slept soundly all night.
Kangxi lifted Tian Mi's quilt a little bit, and found that Tian Mi was still short of breath.The chest rises and falls are particularly large. In order to breathe more conveniently, I open my mouth and use both the mouth and nose when I sleep.
Finally, Kangxi ordered the maid to bring the thin silk quilt, so that the cousin should not cover it so heavily.
After giving the order, he took the people to the court, and the things discussed in the hall today are still the matters of the empress dowager.
After receiving the report from Kua Dai yesterday, Kangxi already had a general understanding of the drama that will be staged today.Yesterday Kangxi was still thinking about it. I don't know what Lao Ba was thinking in his heart. If he wanted to have a better background, it would be best to go along with the flow and agree to the Tong family's proposal.
But then again, doing so hurt Concubine Liang's heart.Concubine Liang had no choice but to give her son to Concubine Hui to raise her when she was young.At that time, Eighth Prince belonged to the one who was sent out.And at this time, if the eighth elder brother asks to be the queen's son on his own initiative, then there is a world of difference from Concubine Liang sending her son out. big interest.
After the Great Court Meeting began, someone jumped out and said that the Empress Dowager had an order from the old man that if the imperial concubine did not give birth to an heir, she would not be allowed to be named empress.
After this statement came out, the fourth elder brother was very angry. The fourth elder brother knew that this was Er Niang's last chance. Seeing Er Niang's current body, if she dragged on, she would have to chase her down.
Looking back, the people who jumped out were all from Baba, and Brother Si knew better than anyone else what kind of fancy intestines there was in Baba's belly.There is nothing to argue with these slaves, and there is no need for him to jump out and argue with them in person.
Sure enough, someone from the Tong family was dispatched at this time, and this person was Fa Hai, the eighth elder brother's master.Fahai's official position is not high, but he is qualified to go to court, and he is a educated person. When he talks about the truth, he uses elegant words and strict logic.And because he is the master of the eighth elder brother, no matter what, others always give him some face, and he is the younger brother of the imperial concubine, so there are too many labels on him at once, and the people of the eighth master party don't know how to attack him .
Moreover, Fahai and Ba Age, the master-student pair, are a bit unexpected. Others are masters and apprentices are natural allies. As a result, when it comes to them, the master doesn't like the apprentice, and the apprentice doesn't like the master either. Just keep looking good.
At this time, Fahai stood in the middle, talking freely, and Eighth Brother could only listen with a smile on his face.
Because Fahai's fighting power is too strong, today's court meeting seems a little calm.Kangxi looked at it for a while and found it boring. No one is Fa Hai's opponent. If he wants to see a good show, he has to wait until tomorrow.After all, the group of people under Eighth Prince will not compromise easily.If they don't make this matter a little bigger, and don't stir up this matter, they will be ashamed to mention that the old eight is recorded in the queen's name.
In other words, Ba Ye's faction finally found that they couldn't stop the embargo, so they had to find another way to turn the matter of embargo into something beneficial to them.
After the end of the court meeting, the fourth elder brother was so angry that his whole body was smoking, and he felt thunder billowing behind him when he took a step.He left the palace with a black smoke that was invisible to the naked eye.
Because of the incident in the court hall, the fifth child came to find his mother in a hurry.
"Do you think the matter of sealing the empress will succeed in the end?"
Concubine Yi gave her son a blank look, "There is nothing impossible for the emperor to do, you can rest assured that the empress will still be the empress in the end."
The fifth child took a sip of tea, "My son heard that the imperial concubine is not in good health, so I don't know if she can last until the eighth day of the next month. Also, if the palace really confers the queen, it will be a great joy. At that time, Lao Jiu might be released in advance. If he is released in advance, I don't know whether Lao Jiu's plan will be successful or not."
Concubine Yi doesn't want to talk about Lao Jiu, she usually thinks this son is quite smart, but when it comes to critical moments, she thinks this son is stupid.
Although the imperial concubine takes good care of everyone, she is not a queen after all.The close prince called Tong Erniang to others, especially when the fifth child had a good relationship with the fourth elder brother, so every time he came to Tian Mi, he followed the fourth elder brother and called Er Niang. In order to distinguish, the front added a surname.Lao Qi also called it that way when he was a child, and when he met on the road these years, he also called him Tong E Niang affectionately.
But none of the other little elder brothers below this old eight called her that.If the imperial concubine becomes a queen, then she will be the mother of all the princes in name, and she will be called Huang'en Niang when they meet each other.
The biological mothers of these princes have to take a step back in front of the queen, and they must pay attention to this point when speaking in front of the queen in the future. For example, if the fifth child mentions Concubine Yi, he can no longer refer to my mother, but only to concubine Yi.
And because there has been no queen in the palace for decades, the rules in some places have been loosened a bit.For example, when these prince Fujin came in to greet these ladies, coming to the palace was as casual as visiting his own garden.Another example is that these empresses in the palace teach the prince Fujin just like a serious mother-in-law.
Afterwards, the nominal mothers-in-law of these princes Fujin all became queen empresses, and the empress empress allowed them to enter the palace before they could attack.And concubines like Yifei, who have been scattered for so many years, have to get up early every day to greet the empress.
In a word, if there is one more queen in this palace, all of us will have to stand up tight.
For Yifei, she is not happy to have such a person on her head.But there is no way, the emperor thinks so.
After thinking so much, Concubine Yi sighed, "Don't fight against the emperor, he is so focused on making the empress a queen right now, let alone carrying out the orders of the empress dowager back then, even if it is to make the empress dowager It is useless to ask the ancestors to come out at this time."
Maybe it's because she's getting older, she inevitably likes to recall the past, and her mouth is broken. "When I was young, I heard about the grievances and grievances of Empress Xiaocheng, Empress Xiaozhao, and the imperial concubine when I first entered the palace. These three people thought that they were the queen, but two of them became imperial concubines for nothing. Empress Yuan is not pleasing to the eye. In short, there was a lot of trouble back then, and now the wife in the palace is peaceful and calm. Let me tell you that the palace was not peaceful at all in those years..."
Seeing that the old woman was talking about sex at this time, and her face was beaming with joy, the fifth child thought about it, it would be better not to listen to his father's romantic past.
As a man, he is somewhat curious about the emperor's grievances and grievances. As a son, if he finds out about Lao Tzu's romantic affairs back then, it may not be appropriate.But if the emperor is still his father, then don't listen to the secret history of the palace.
"Then what... Er Niang, my son still has something to do at home, so I have to leave now."
Concubine Yi has already saved up a lot of topics and wants to chat with her son, but usually has nothing to say to other people.With those Xiao Chang Zai Xiao promises who came to curry favor with him, let alone talk about such a topic.After thinking about it, I could only talk to my son, but I didn't expect that my son wanted to leave before I started talking.
"I'm leaving now, eat something before leaving..."
"I don't eat, and I'm not hungry." It's not that I'm not hungry, but I'm worried that when you eat, if any old things come out of your mouth, my son doesn't know whether to listen or not.
Concubine Yi looked at her son's back and sighed regretfully.
Lao Wu hurried out of the palace and met Lao Qi at Yujie.The two brothers greeted each other far away.
The seventh child asked the fifth child, "Why did the fifth brother come out so late?"
"The empress was worried about Lao Jiu, so I went over and said a few words to her, where are you going now?"
"I'm going to go to the Yamen of Taipu Temple." The two brothers walked forward together with their horses' heads touching each other.Royal Street is sparsely populated here.Because it is close to the imperial palace, it is not a place that ordinary people can get close to.Even the dignitaries in Forty-Nine City would not go here if they had nothing to do.
Seeing that there was no one on the street, Lao Qi took the reins of the horse and let the horse walk forward slowly, "I don't know how much the fifth brother has heard of the gossip these days?"
"If it's about the imperial concubine, my brother has really heard a lot. By the way, I saw the fourth brother leave in a hurry just now. I wonder if you have talked to him?"
"You don't need to ask, and you don't need to inquire. The fourth brother was almost pissed off by the group of slaves today. We brothers have no desires and desires, so we don't think it's a big deal. I'm afraid for some people, the imperial concubine and empress Becoming a queen will seal their road to heaven."
The fifth child shook his head, "Not at all."
"It's not, but I always feel that this matter is not so simple. I seem to think that this matter has to be reversed..."
"Could it be that you think that the old man approves of the imperial concubine's concubine?"
"It's hard to tell."
The two brothers rode unsteadily on their horses. They speculated for a long time about the evil wind blowing in the two courts, but they didn't come to any conclusions.When it was time to say goodbye, they bowed to each other and went about their own business.
And Kangxi always felt that there was going to be a big show these two days, but he didn't expect that the eighth elder brother was so calm, even though his subordinates and the fourth elder brother's slaves were arguing in a mess in the hall, he didn't express his opinion.
Kangxi was thinking in his heart, could it be that Brother Ba still had a bit of conscience and knew that he couldn't let his mother down.Thinking of this, Kangxi was somewhat relieved, at least this son did not abandon Concubine Liang for the sake of his identity.
It's not that the eighth elder brother didn't want to, but the eighth elder brother had a big fight with 14 because of this incident.
Fourteen pointed at eighth elder brother's nose and scolded for a long time. In ancient times, Zhang Yide said that Lu Fengxian was a family slave with three surnames, but now fourteen scolded eighth elder brother as a mothfly with three surnames.
This made the eighth elder brother very angry. The branch handed over by the Tong family was indeed a tall branch.He really wanted to climb this high branch.But at this juncture, Eighth Prince is also a shameless person.He originally wanted to discuss with his younger brother how to make this matter so that people feel that he became the queen's son out of desperation, instead of abandoning Er Niang on his own initiative.
But I didn't expect my younger brother's reaction to be so hot just as I opened my mouth.
So the topic did not continue to chat, and the two patronized and scolded each other.That's why the eighth elder brother wasted several days without asking people to ask the queen to accept him as his son in the court.
But this matter cannot be delayed any longer. After thinking about it for several days, Eighth Brother felt that this matter should not be discussed with his younger brother, but with Er Niang.
He has two mother-in-laws, and Concubine Hui must be supportive, so he didn't ask Concubine Hui for her opinion at all.Instead, he went directly to see Concubine Liang.
Concubine Liang didn't expect her son to bring up such a topic, and she was very upset right now.From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want her son to do this.There is a folk saying that one would rather be a beggar mother than an official father.There is also a folk saying that a dog does not dislike a poor family and a son does not dislike an ugly mother.But when he came to the eighth elder brother, he seemed to be quite taboo about his current identity.
Concubine Liang looked at her son like this, even though she was sad in her heart and felt that she was holding her son back, but she said it again.A mother will never look at her son in a dilemma.So Concubine Liang quickly adjusted her facial expression, holding her son's hand with a smile.
"If you can really become the son of the imperial concubine... that's really my son's blessing. The imperial concubine is different from the concubine Hui. The imperial concubine is not so overbearing. When we meet each other later, you will also It's so big, you don't need to ask me about this kind of thing, as long as it's good for you, don't discuss it with me."
The eighth elder brother was very satisfied with Er Niang's attitude, and even felt a little grateful.It's just that after he left, Concubine Liang cried for a whole night, until the next day her eyes were so swollen that she couldn't see anyone, she hid in her room and didn't go out.
Fourteen heard about Eighth Prince's decision, and rushed back to Yonghe Palace to discuss with Er Niang.However, Concubine Liang is a person with a particularly weak character.I just persuaded the youngest son not to tear down the situation with the eldest son.So even if Shisi was gnashing his teeth in anger, he could only stand still.
Just because of Ba Prince's actions, Fourteen's original guilt disappeared without a trace.He was even more unscrupulous when poaching the corners of Eighth Prince.
After Eighth Prince made this decision, he quietly breathed out with the people around him.In the final analysis, this matter is still an internal matter of the clan.So Yaljana got the news very quickly.
When he got the news, it meant that Yang Dan got the news. Yaerjiang is still a good brother, and if there is any news, he can tell his younger brother.Hearing the news, he couldn't wait to let his brother be called to the palace to tell him.
Yang Dan, who was sitting drinking tea, immediately stood up after hearing this, "Tell me again, what exactly did you just say?"
"There is a letter from Lao Ba, and I want to ask everyone to help me to record him under the name of the empress."
Yang Dan's brain is not enough at the moment, "Which empress?"
"Which one else could it be? Of course it's the current one. It's not bad for the two previous queens, but how can I put it this way? They're no longer around. It's not as good as this queen who is still alive. In the eyes of the emperor, the weight is even more important. As long as she is a queen As soon as he opened his mouth, the emperor agreed to this matter in all likelihood."
Yang Dan patted his head and thought for a while, "It means that you have to find a way to record the eighth elder brother under the name of Er Niang. But then again, what does the eighth elder brother have to do with my mother? , if you insist on establishing a relationship, that is, my mother and his mother live next door. If you really want to record a person in the name of my mother, then the fourth brother is just right. Think about it, the fourth brother was raised by the mother , started to raise her since the full moon, and now she has started to raise her grandson. Er Niang wants to remember the fourth brother even more, and she doesn't want to remember the starling."
"I think so too, but I can't stand a group of people thinking that this method is feasible. Let me tell you that the old princes in the capital gathered together this afternoon, and even Prince Yu went. Everyone always thinks this is a good idea, either Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, we must talk about this matter in court." Yarjan Ah pressed his voice, "Or you can tell the emperor quietly."
"Why do I say this?" Yang Dan made up his mind to report to Kangxi in advance, but he refused to admit it, "This is their business and has nothing to do with me. After all, I am just a side branch of the clan. , it’s better not to get involved in things like this.”
Early the next morning, these princes all put on python robes and went to court.Kangxi knew what they were going to say just by looking at this posture.
Just like what Yang Dan said, if one had to be recorded in Tian Mi's name, Tian Mi would definitely be willing to record the fourth elder brother.When she was young, Tian Mi did not think of ways, and even brought out the memories of the past. In the dead of night, Kangxi would be woken up by the cousin next to him when he was half asleep. .For a while, he said that he was afraid of being old and helpless, and for a while, he said that the fourth elder brother was pitiful.In a word, she wanted to become a legal mother and son with others.
At that time, Kangxi also firmly disagreed for the sake of the prince.Later, this topic was never discussed again. From the beginning to the end, Kangxi knew that Tian Mi couldn't wait to tie the fourth elder brother with her, but she never thought about the eighth elder brother.
When Prince Zhuang took the lead, he said that after everyone discussed, the imperial concubine was already a candle in the wind, so it was better to give her a comfort in advance at this time, and they all agreed with the queen.But there is one thing that cannot be avoided, that is, the imperial concubine's health is really bad.In order not to make the next thing too embarrassing, it is better to record the eighth elder brother under the name of the imperial concubine, the empress...
Even though he had already got the news, when the words really came out of people's mouths, the fourth elder brother was still trembling with anger.
That's my mother-in-law! ! !
And in the eyes of the fourth prince, the old Prince Zhuang sincerely cursed Erniang.All his assumptions were that the empress was dying, and a prince had to come forward to handle the funeral, preferably her son.In Prince Zhuang's words, the most suitable person is Eighth Prince.
Fit ass!Brother Ba is a sonless man. Not only does he have no son, he doesn't even have a child. He wants to die for Er Niang just like that. He is so beautiful! !
It's better to let the fourth elder brother take the lead in such a half-way mother-child relationship.At least the fourth elder brother has four sons, the eldest son is already half the height of a man, and he is graceful and elegant.And with the imperial concubine and empress day and night, everyone knows that the fourth elder brother is the most suitable person, not the eighth elder brother.
But yesterday, the old princes in the clan had already discussed it, so everyone said that the eighth elder brother was the most suitable person.
The fourth elder brother was trembling with anger, and he didn't care about his status at this time. As soon as he pulled up his sleeves, he was ready to go on stage and fight with these old bastards in person.The fifth and seventh elders next to him quickly grabbed him, and even the third who stood in front of the fourth elder brother also grabbed the fourth elder brother's sleeve.
The third child even said, "Fourth child, are you confused? To capture the thief, you must first capture the king! What do you care about with this old man?"
But the fourth elder brother didn't think so. To capture the thief first, capture the king. When will it be?
Just when he was about to shake off the hand of the third child, someone spoke.
It was Dong'e, the king of Xinjun who spoke, and this was Kangxi's uncle.It is also the one with the highest seniority among this group of old princes.This one is different from the others, who all got their titles from their father.The master's title was inherited from his nephew.
That is to say, the Xin County King a few years ago was still his nephew, but the nephew died and no one inherited it, so the title fell to him again.
This person has had ups and downs all his life, he has been a Baylor, and he has also been an idle clan.When he was in good times, he was also a celebrity in the clan, but when he was down, he didn't even care about dogs on the street.Because of the ups and downs in this life, he has developed a moody temper.
When a group of people were discussing yesterday, he didn't say a word. As a result, he caught yesterday's accomplices by surprise in the court today.
The purpose of the Xinjun King was to cause trouble for other princes, so he asked lazily: "You are very generous here, have you asked the empress if she is happy? After all, she is the one who accepts the son. Since it is If you want to find a son, you must find a caring one, you have put so much trouble here, is the empress willing to let you worry about it?"
After Kangxi heard this, he opened his squinted eyes and looked at this uncle, "King Xinjun is right. How about it, it is better to hit the sun than to choose the day, and we are all here waiting for me to send someone back to ask about it." .”
So Kangxi nodded to Li Dequan and asked him to go to the harem to ask.But Li Dequan knew that when he came out this morning, the imperial concubine had been awake for a long time, and she could get out of bed and walk a few steps after eating something.The emperor was very happy, but because he got out of bed and walked a few steps, he was exhausted and fell asleep again.Now when I go back, I'm already asleep. If I'm a slave myself, why don't I wake him up and ask: "Baye wants to be your son, are you willing?"
I definitely don't want to.The fourth master who has been raised for so long has not been remembered, so how can he remember the eighth master?
But Li Dequan couldn't do anything, all the ministers looked at him, even the emperor said so, he could only agree, drank a cup of tea in the back, dawdled for a while, and quietly went back to the hall.
Being stared at by so many people, Li Dequan didn't blush and his heart skipped a beat, "Your Majesty said, thank you princes for your concern, but this matter is not her own business, and she has to obey the emperor's orders."
Kangxi was a little dissatisfied, feeling that this old slave is useless now.However, there was no expression on her face, "Since she said that, let me tell you about it. You may not know that the imperial concubine is in much better health now, and she will be fine after a while. She will become a queen in the future. These sons of mine are all her sons, is it possible that these sons are not willing to honor the queen? If she has any in the future..."
As soon as Kangxi finished speaking, the princes below quickly knelt down and expressed their filial piety to the empress.
This matter passed like this, although the eighth elder brother did not speak from the beginning to the end, but after the matter was over, he felt that he had been slapped several times on the face.Angry and annoyed, ashamed and angry.
After everyone broke up, the fourth elder brother rushed over and snorted heavily at him.The tension between the two brothers has been completely settled, the fourth elder brother has already thought about it, and the eighth elder brother is not a good thing.Maybe people feel that they are not a good thing, and when we meet again in the future, it will not be your death or mine.
Anyone who robs me of my forehead is not a good thing, and this guy's purpose is not pure.If the eighth elder brother is really filial to Er Niang, that's fine, I'll bear it myself.This guy of mine obviously wants to take advantage of Er Niang to get in the position, and wants to step on Er Niang.Scholars can bear it, which one can't bear it, it's too much.
Kangxi was also dissatisfied. After returning from the front hall, he walked towards the bedroom and couldn't help but glance at Li Dequan.
Kangxi didn't believe that Li Dequan didn't know what he meant to him at that time.After all, he has been master and servant for so many years, and this old slave guesses his own mind every day, so it is impossible not to guess what he just wanted to say.
Kangxi never considered whether his son's mood was good or bad.He just wanted to use Li Dequan's mouth to reprimand Eighth Brother, so that he would not be delusional.But Li Dequan said the words lightly, and in Kangxi's view, this had no effect at all. Eighth Prince was so thick-skinned, and a few light words seemed to him to be harmless.
Having lost a good opportunity to teach his son a lesson, Kangxi felt a little uneasy in his heart.
This matter is over, but Kangxi does not intend to forgive Li Dequan, he is now suspicious, suspecting that Li Dequan has secretly connected with the eighth elder brother.He even felt that Li Dequan was trying to please the eighth elder brother.
Kangxi first went back to look at Tian Mi, and found that she was still asleep at the moment, and the maid guarding Tian Mi reported that the empress had slept well and her breathing was not as heavy as at night.
Finally, Kangxi felt a little happier. His cousin's condition was getting better. When the weather got hot, she might be able to recover.
Yang Dan begged to see him at this time, Kangxi saw him rushing in, "What's the matter?"
"Myna recently found a few good doctors..." He said and put a piece of paper in front of Kangxi.
Kangxi didn't think much about it, Tian Mi was very ill recently, and everyone in the capital who had some knowledge began to inquire about the doctor.During this period of time, the fourth elder brother, apart from the errands in the yamen, has devoted all his energy to inquiring about the doctor.
The eighth elder brother actually wanted to please his cousin, so he had to find some good doctors.Kangxi thought in his heart that these doctors should be here to treat his cousin.
But when I looked down, I realized that these doctors were good at heart disease.
heart disease! ! !
At this moment, Kangxi suddenly felt pain in his chest.
