Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

According to previous life, Honghui is a little angel.

This is a very caring child, and he has no bad habits of one kind or another. Unlike their uncle, Honghui is not the kind of domineering person.He was very gentle and kind when he spoke, making people take a sudden look and think that this is not the son of the fourth elder brother, but maybe the son of the eighth elder brother.

However, Honghui's gentleness and kindness came from his bones, not the kind of pretense.He was born in a good family, raised in the palace since he was a child, and has a bit of dignity in his behavior, so Kangxi especially likes him.

A long time ago, a eunuch quietly brought a chair and put it behind Kangxi.Honghui sat on his little stool again, and the fishing rod in front of Tian Mi was confiscated by Kangxi.As the sun sets, the grandparents and grandchildren enjoy fishing.

This is also a rare relaxation for Kangxi. As an elder, when he is with the younger generation, it is inevitable to ask how his books are doing recently.

Hong Hui told me what he had learned recently and what doubts he had recently.

When Tian Mi woke up, the grandparents and grandchildren asked one by one and answered the other, and the chat was very beautiful.

"I slept so soundly just now, it feels like I fell asleep just now."

The reason why Tian Mi said that was because it was still afternoon when she was not asleep, and it was getting dark now.After sleeping for half an afternoon, I can't sleep anymore, and if I continue to sleep, I may not be able to fall asleep at night.

"It's very rare, you sleep so deeply, I wanted to wake you up, but I didn't." Kangxi looked down at his small bucket, and there were two big fish in the bucket.

"Go, go, let you taste the fish I caught today."

Tian Mi stretched out her hand to be held by Kangxi, while Honghui held the small bucket with the fishing rod.The three of them went back together, and when they were walking on the road, Honghui couldn't help telling about the big fish he missed just now, and the words were quite regrettable.

All the way to the bedroom with laughter and laughter, Tian Mi really ate a braised carp, but it was not the one that Kangxi caught, but the imperial dining room had prepared it early.

The two of them sent Honghui back after dinner, told him to go to bed early, and walked in the yard together to digest food.

When Kangxi was walking, he told Tian Mi that he was busy recently, and he would not come to eat with Tian Mi in the future.

Once he mentioned that he was busy, Tian Mi never asked why.The two talked for a while, and after Kangxi left, Tian Mi asked the maid beside her.

"What happened in the court outside?"

"I heard that it was the fifth master who sent the notebook back, saying that the officials in Jiangnan were corrupt collectively. The emperor was so angry that he called those princes into the palace and scolded them."

After Tian Mi listened, she nodded her head clearly, and Herring was still talking to her.

"I heard that what happened in Jiangnan this time is really the first time since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Our fifth master's journey was not smooth. It is said that the ship almost capsized on the way."

Tian Mi couldn't help raising her heart to her throat, "What did you Madam Tong say? Forget it, I'll ask you, you don't know too well, please invite someone over, I have something to say to her right now."

Concubine Tong has great expectations for Shisan, just like she used to raise her fourth elder brother.So Concubine Tong paid more attention to the affairs of Thirteen in Jiangnan. Since Thirteen went out with Lao Wu, I think there will be more detailed information from Concubine Tong.

Concubine Tong came very quickly, "I received the news this afternoon. I originally said that I would come to see my sister immediately, but I heard that my sister was fishing with the emperor Honghui by the lake, so I didn't dare to disturb her."

He said that he handed over a letter in his hand to Hetian Mi, and Tian Mi warned Tong Pin to be careful in her actions. After all, it is a felony for foreign ministers and inner palaces to pass messages, let alone it has been written in the letter. The letter was sent to the Qianqing Palace, and Concubine Tong couldn't finish eating and walked around.He quickly opened the letter and read it.

This letter said that Lao Wu and the others encountered water bandits on the road: they were robbed by a group of water bandits on board at night.It is said that in the end these water bandits all committed suicide and did not leave anyone alive. The princes were not harmed, but they experienced this incident suddenly at night, and the four brothers were all frightened, resulting in poor health the next day. Soothing soup for the day.Seven or eight of the guards who followed were wounded and six died.

Tian Mi felt terrified after reading it, these people are too courageous.

Seeing Tian Mi finish reading the letter, Tong Pin couldn't help asking, "Sister, who do you think did it?"

"Who else could it be? No one is left alive. They are not doing it for money, but probably for their lives."

"I think the same way. I think this should be a dead man trained by corrupt officials in the south of the Yangtze River. This trip is really dangerous. What they went through scared me to death. Sister, you said we call the children now Come here, okay?"

Tian Mi knew that she didn't want Shisan to take any more risks, "It's easy for you to say this, and it's a pleasure to finish talking when your mouth touches your mouth. Ask yourself, can the two of us decide?"

Tong Pin sighed, Tian Mi signaled Herring to bring the candle over, put the letter on the candle and lit it, watching it burn to ashes.

"Where did you get the news, did you release anyone around Shisan?"

"The man was released, but the news didn't come so quickly. Do you know how the news came? This is the news from Ama's staff from Jiangnan, so I showed this letter to my sister... "

"Don't do this next time. If someone finds out about it and report it to the emperor, the emperor will not spare you."

"I know, just this time."

Tian Mi wants to let her get rid of this fluke mentality, "With this one time, there will be a next time. You think that now that I am in charge of the palace, you don't have to live in fear anymore, but let me tell you, now our natal family is doing business. It's getting more and more excessive. I think Ama has provoked the emperor's taboo. No matter how tightly you hide here, you will inevitably be implicated by the family, or someone is staring at Ama, and he spread the news to the palace. Afterwards, the person watching him found out that the item was in your hands, so wouldn't it be easy to touch you then?"

Concubine Tong turned pale with fright, "Where did the news come from, sister? Could it be that the emperor is really wary of Ama?"

"Ama's doing things..." Tian Mi didn't know what to say, and finally added something cryptic, "You may not know that Ama is going to bet on the next emperor, and the matter is not done strictly. knew."

Concubine Tong was so frightened that she trembled all over. She was in the inner palace, so of course she knew that there were certain things that must never be done, "Don't worry, I won't do such things in the future. But what about this matter right now? "

"Just pretend you don't know."

After Tian Mi finished speaking, she closed her eyes and slowly thought about it. Anyway, her brain is not enough, and she might not be able to figure out those counselors and scribes outside the palace, but there is one thing she is sure of, and that is to say more Make more mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes.

Don't meddle in everything, just a fatal blow at a critical moment is enough.

While Tian Mi was chatting with her younger sister, Yang Dan was kneeling in front of Kangxi in Qianqing Palace.

"Let you always check Jiangnan, and see what you are doing now? Your brother almost died, and you haven't received any news from here."

Yang Dan knelt down on the carpet and kowtowed in cold sweat.

After all, he was watching the grown-up child, so Kangxi beat him a few words, and then made him stand up.

"It's fine this time, and it must never happen again. You go and find out the cause of this matter now. After you find out, you don't need to report to me, and just kill the person who did it. Don't touch the people behind the scenes. , I will clean them up when the time comes."

Yang Dan agreed, "It's just that there is no news from Jiangnan about this matter. My son is worried that Jiangnan may also change. My son wants to go to Jiangnan to clean up the office of the General Secretary himself."

Kangxi had a satisfied look on his face, "Sure enough, you have grown up. You can think this way, and you can make such a decision. It can be seen that you have started the job. In addition to investigating the anti-Qing and Fuming forces in the south of the Yangtze River, the Secretary of General Administration has to deal with Those officials keep an eye on it. Come on, let your play be allowed."

Yang Dan bent down to accept the imperial decree, and then asked: "What should the son of the emperor's mother say?"

You can't tell Er Niang that you are going to Jiangnan to do business. Now that the wind and waves in Jiangnan are high and the waves are rough, everyone knows where to go. It is impossible for Er Niang to not understand what she is going to do because of her intelligence.

Kangxi also knew that Tian Mi was really stupid sometimes, but when she should be smart, she was very perceptive. "Just say...just tell your mother to check the Wannian blessed land."

After Tian Mi became a queen, she was eligible to be buried next to Kangxi, logically speaking, she was buried in the same tomb as Kangxi.There is nothing worth checking, but Yang Dan always has a reason to go out.It is not impossible to ask Yang Dan to urge the construction of the imperial mausoleum.This reason is not only to prevaricate Tian Mi, but also to prevaricate Man Chao's eyeliner.

Yang Dan went back to pack his luggage, and when he came to say goodbye to Tian Mi, Tian Mi didn't give up on his lame excuse.

"Be careful this time," Tian Mi said, "You are young and don't know the evil people outside, so you must always remember that you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must be defensive."

After Yang Dan heard it, his eyes flickered a few times, pretending not to understand, and happily agreed, "Don't worry, your son has listened to everything you taught. And he has memorized it in his heart. If you remember it firmly, you will never dare forget."

Tian Mi knew that he had a hippie smile and glib tongue, but she still smiled and touched his face, "Go early and come back early, no matter how nice the outside is, it's not home."

Yang Dan agreed, and bid farewell to the fourth elder brother and his son. The fourth elder brother couldn't help asking Tian Mi after watching Yang Dan leave.

"Yangdan's matter is full of weirdness. Do you think he will go to Jiangnan?"

Tian Mi thought to herself: You know what's going on and you still have to ask me.

He didn't answer him either, "I heard that you have a big deal to do recently?"

The fourth elder brother smiled immediately, and when he talked about his errands, he was beaming with joy.

"My son checked the treasury bank of the Ministry of Households, and found that since the time of the first emperor, officials have borrowed money from the treasury one after another. Over the years, it has become more and more, and it is time to take care of it. About this matter, my son had a conversation with Huang Ama in the early years. At that time, the old man was thinking about pursuing the owed money, because he was always busy and couldn't spare his hands, so the son took over this matter."

Tian Mi thought, it was because he couldn't find someone to do it for him.

"Silly son, if you want to show off, you have to work hard on other things. This matter is particularly offending. Why waste this muddy water in vain?"

The fourth elder brother looked at the court ladies and eunuchs standing here, and found that they were standing far away and couldn't hear the chat between the mother and son, so they lowered their voices.

"My son wants to do it because no one else is doing it. One is to let the old man Huang Amata see his son's ability, and the other is that it is time to do this. And you know what your son is thinking Yes, now the old eight is more beautiful than before, and looks full of flowers, but in fact, the old eight doesn't know that it is better to please the emperor Ama than to please the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

Now, in order to make himself less likely to make mistakes, Lao Ba no longer took the initiative to take care of many errands. My son looked at him coldly, and Huang Ama didn't take him seriously. You and Huang Ama are always together, so it is impossible not to know about his old man. attitude, so this is an opportunity for the son to behave. "We must take this opportunity to come out on top.

Tian Mi sighed, of course Tian Mi understood what the fourth elder brother said, and also knew why he was so impatient to show off, but this matter really offended people.

"You have to think about it."

"My son is no longer a three-year-old child. The future has already been predicted. You don't have to worry about him. You must have thought of several ways in your heart to let your son avoid this matter and go to other errands. But Er Niang, there are some obstacles that must be removed."

The fourth elder brother was thinking, I don’t care about it now, if I really become the emperor in the future, I still have to take care of this kind of shit, why not take advantage of the old man as a backer for me at this moment, and do it myself, the old man is under a lot of pressure , It will not let the trend of borrowing silver from the treasury continue to stop losses in time, and it can also perform well.

The reason why the old man was disappointed with the second brother was because the second brother shirked and shied away when things happened.I must not be like my second brother, otherwise I will really have no way to stand out from my brothers.

The fourth elder brother thought very clearly, and Tian Mi would not persuade him again. The mother and son talked for a while, and Tian Mi watched the fourth elder brother leave.

Tian Mi was still thinking when watching the fourth elder brother leave, this time passed so long and fast, as if the fourth elder brother was still the chubby, white and tender baby, but in a blink of an eye, his shoulders were broad and broad, and his whole body was like a mountain stand there.

And this child also has his own mind, and he doesn't need to deliberately guide him anymore.

"It seems that I am really old, and I really want to enter old age and start to take care of myself."

At this time, the maids who brought tea all covered their mouths with trays and laughed, "Your Majesty, you can't say that, you are still young, look at your complexion is white and rosy, how can you be old?"

Tian Mi knew that they were trying to make her happy, so she laughed along with her.

After more than ten days, the news of Lao Wu's assassination finally came back to the capital. After Yi Fei knew about it, she acted distraught for the first time.

Not only was Lao Wu on that boat, but Lao Jiu was also there.Two of her three sons are in danger, and Concubine Yi hurriedly called the younger son over to discuss it.

"Tell me what to do about this matter? Why don't you tell your Huang Ama not to let them go."

Eleven shook his head, "You said that this method will not work at all, if anyone dares to mention this to the old man, he can drag them out and beat them to death.

A few little assassins, could it be possible to scare the brothers?Are they afraid to work?Think back when the elder brothers followed Huang Ama on the expedition, they were even more dangerous than now. Did you also look like this at that time?This time is much better than that time, so you must not get confused. "

Having said that, Concubine Yi was really scared to death, which means that it is easy to hide with a gun and hard to defend against an arrow in the back.At that time, there were countless personal soldiers around the battlefield.At this time, there is an assassin hidden somewhere, and if he suddenly hits the old five and the ninth, it can kill him, even if there are too many guards, so what?

Concubine Yi was confused, Eleven also felt danger in his heart, he didn't dare to show his worry, he was worried that the old woman would not be able to sit still.

After talking with Er Niang for a while, Eleven wanted to find Yang Dan, but found that Yang Dan was not in the capital at all.Eleven has a good relationship with Yang Dan, and also has a good relationship with Twelve.Twelve's current power is far inferior to that of Yang Dan.Since Yang Dan went out, he has taken over part of the forces of Prince Jian's Mansion.

Although this part of the power is nothing to Yaerjiang A, and some of them are the old slaves left by their mothers, they are much stronger than Eleven and Twelve. These two brothers have not established their own power yet. stand up.

Eleven Heart was very anxious and wanted to send someone to Jiangnan to check the news.The news that the two brothers were assassinated was a few days ago, and I don't know how they are doing now.

When he was trying to find a way, Fourteen met Eleven in the West Garden.

"Why did Brother Eleven go?"

"Look for your twelfth brother, and tell him if you have something to say."

Fourteen looked around, looking mysterious, "There is something I want to tell Brother Eleven, about Brother Fifth and Brother Ninth."

Eleven heard this, and stepped forward to grab Fourteen's hand, "What news do you have, if it's the news that the brothers were assassinated, it goes without saying, I already know the news."

Fourteen shook his head, "That's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about the news of those who attacked, I know that Brother Thirteen and Brother Ten, Brother Five and Brother Nine are together, and behind Brother Five and Brother Nine is Guo Luo Luo Shi, you know this. Shisan is taken care of by the Tong family, and the Niu Hulu family is behind the tenth brother. These families have sources of information, and it is said that the one who did it was the former dead man of the eldest brother."

"Brother?" What does this have to do with the boss?The boss is now confined in the mansion, and not even a fly can fly out of the house.

"My younger brother also thinks that this news is a bit unbelievable and sensational, but there is no way. There is evidence that it was done by the eldest brother. Of course, what my younger brother knows is just superficial. If you want to know more details, you may wish to find Ask someone from the Tong family or Niu Hulu's family."

Eleven hurriedly bid farewell to Fourteen, and thought about going to Sixteen.Fifteen and Sixteen were brought up by Concubine Tong, and Shiliu was asked to make a connection. He wanted to chat with Kua Dai, the Minister of Guards.

It happened to be in the West Garden at this time, and it was very easy to meet Shiliu. When Shiliu heard about Eleven's intentions, he thought about it and shook his head.

"It's not that my younger brother doesn't want to help, but my younger brother thinks that if you come to find my younger brother and the Tong family, why don't you just ask Huang Ama?"

Eleven's expression is: Are you crazy or am I crazy?Can you ask the old man about such a thing?

Sixteen is not very old, but he has been favored recently, surpassing Fourteen, Fifteen and Thirteen.

"My brother didn't mean to make you happy. The people involved in the accident are also my brother's elder brothers. Of course, my brother is worried, but you must not ask foreign ministers about this matter. Neither the Tong family nor the Niu Hulu family should ask. If there are too many, the old man will suspect us."The boss is involved in it, once the matter of the boss is pulled out, the second child will be pulled out along the vine, and the matter of the second child cannot be touched, and whoever touches it will be unlucky.

At that time, the peaceful life will be turbulent again. Originally, everyone can choose the prince, but maybe the matter of choosing the prince will be blown up again, and there will be another shock at the end, let alone being banned. The son was killed cleanly.

It's not that Shishi doesn't know this truth, but because he was worried that his two elder brothers would be in chaos, he nodded after listening to Shiliu's argument.

"What you said is that you can ask the old man about this matter, you can ask your brothers, but you can't ask the foreign ministers."

Eleven didn't have the courage to ask Kangxi to ask why his brothers were assassinated.So eleven pulled sixteen, and the two went to find Lao Qi.The reason why I went to Lao Qi instead of the fourth elder brother was because the fourth elder brother was being rejected by everyone at this time.

The sky was getting hotter and hotter, and the fourth elder brother was also very hot in his heart. He was chasing debts all over the city, causing a lot of discussion in the court.It has poured cold water on his precarious popularity, so recently, even officials from other places have sent papers to Beijing to choose the eldest son.

Originally, the fourth elder brother could still be ranked No.2 among the brothers, but after debt collection, it is now the last one.

The seventh child heard that there were already ballads scolding the fourth child outside, and thinking of what the fourth child was doing in a hurry recently, he couldn't help but sighed with a headache.

When Eleven and Sixteen came to visit, he complained, "Fourth brother was in a hurry to do things, and my uncle was blocked at home because he owed money, and he didn't even dare to leave the house. In the end, I gave the money to pay uncle back." debt."

When the fourth elder brother was unfeeling, he really didn't talk about sympathy at all, so he didn't care whether this person was the uncle of the seventh or the uncle of the fifth. Anyway, he had to pay back all the money owed. It's a matter of course.It's already these people's fault to be approached. If you don't pay back the money now, that's a mistake. If you make a mistake, you will be fined. If you make a mistake, you will be fined twice.

After hearing his complaint, Eleven and Sixteen didn't know what to say about it. If you complain about the fourth child, the fourth child did the right thing.If you complain about those officials, some people really can't survive.

The bad guys are those who have money and still want to borrow it, but don't pay it back.The three brothers scolded these bad guys and got angry.Only on Eleventh and Sixteenth did they tell the story of inquiring about the safety of the brothers.

Lao Qi also has his own eyes and ears in Jiangnan, and told them not to worry, the news he received yesterday said that the brothers were still very safe five days ago.

"Those people are making troubles in secret. When they are upright, they dare not show any disrespect to them. Those brothers are not stupid. They don't go to those remote places. Every time they travel, they bring There are a large number of guards, so safety is not a problem. As for those who say that the dead are the boss..."

Lao Qi shook his head based on his many years of fighting wits and bravery with the boss in the Ministry of War, "Don't think that the elder brother is so smart, the elder brother's mind is very simple. How can he have any dead soldiers? Back then, we two almost broke our faces in the Ministry of War. , if there really is one, it must be targeting me first."

If there is really a team of people to do these dirty jobs, when the waste prince goes out to sacrifice, he only needs to ambush a group of dead soldiers on the road, and it will not be a problem to kill the waste prince.The purpose that can be achieved so easily, why bother to curse?

So Lao Qi didn't believe the news.The three brothers all knew that after the boss got unlucky, those fools who followed the boss all turned their heads and went to the old eight's door.If the boss has such a group of dead men, then they didn't come to the capital to rescue the boss, but went to the south of the Yangtze River to assassinate, it was clearly instigated by someone.

Nine times out of ten, it was Lao Ba who did it, but Lao Ba is not a fool. Lao Wu just checked a little bit of corruption in Jiangnan, and he couldn't wait to assassinate Lao Wu. This is not in line with Lao Ba's usual rules of doing things.Coupled with the fact that he might become the prince at this time, it is the time to be cautious in his words and deeds, and it is even more impossible to do such a thing.

Lao Qi stroked his chin, squinted his eyes and concluded: the people behind the scene were ruthless, a bit decisive, and he was a ruthless character.But on the other hand, it also shows that this person has not experienced any major incidents. Once there is a trouble, he will jump out first.I think whoever is doing this is either not really behind the scenes, or is just a cucumber egg.

Kangxi's ideas were more comprehensive than Lao Qi's. Yang Dan had been away for a while, and after arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, he wrote a detailed report of the incident and sent it to the capital.

Kangxi asked the eunuch to bring over the brazier, and threw Tiaochen into the brazier, "The left and right are just made by these little things, and the people who did it were from the Aixinjueluo family, so no one can be wronged."

After finishing speaking, he called an unattractive old eunuch over, "Send a message to Yang Dan, tell him not to show his face in the south of the Yangtze River, and continue to clean up the office of the General Secretary. Don't be lenient."

The eunuch promised to go out, Kangxi immediately called him back, knocked on the table with his fingers, secretly thinking whether to call Cao Yin to the capital.

There was an accident at the General Secretary's Yamen. Such a big incident was not reported in advance, and it was not detected in advance. There must be a loophole in it.Cao Yin is getting older and older, and it seems a little powerless for such a huge information exchange, analysis and induction.

Cao Yin's son, Cao Yong, has grown up, and it's time for Cao Yin, an old slave, to step down.

"Write to Yang Dan and Cao Yin again, ordering Cao Yin to go to Beijing. I will let him be the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and let his son Cao Yong take over Cao Yin's errand. Cao Yin will go to Beijing immediately after the handover."

The eunuch waited for a while, seeing that Kangxi had no other intentions, he quietly retreated.

Cao Yin, who was far away in Jinling, received the letter very quickly. He did not expect the letter to arrive so quickly. In Cao Yin's plan, he cooperated with Yang Dan to sort out the entire Token Office from top to bottom.

But now with this letter, Cao Yin thought for a while, "It will take more than a month to sort out the entire yamen from top to bottom, why not stay in Jiangnan for more than a month to cooperate with Lord Yang Belle, Wait until everything is done before going north to take up the post. The slave's son will work with the slave from tomorrow, and taking advantage of this month, the slave will teach him what to do."

This arrangement is very appropriate, Yang Dan, dressed as a young son, nodded. "Since that's the case, it's hard for Mr. Cao."

The two of them said a few words of politeness, Yang Dan wanted to speak again, but the housekeeper of the Cao family had already hurried in.

"Master, Master Nine and Master Ten have arrived outside."

The old housekeeper had also met the prince before, so he was quite calm at the moment, looked at Yang Dan who was sitting next to him, and then at Cao Yin, waiting for his order.

Yang Dan came to Jiangnan this time in secret, so he didn't want to meet his brothers, so he stood up and patted his clothes, "Master Cao, please go to the back for a while."

Cao Yin cupped his hands, and then led the housekeeper quickly out of the yard to the gate, and saw the old nine and ten brothers sitting inside the gate.

Lao Jiu and Lao Shi both looked bad, Lao Jiu was because Lao Wu told him again and again when he went out, Lao Jiu knew that he was worried about himself and Lao Ten, and that the brothers would collude with these officials in Jiangnan .While Lao Jiu was annoyed that his brother didn't believe him, he also felt that he and Lao Ba would not be able to untie for a while. No matter what he did, others would look like Lao Ba ordered him to do so.

The old ten was even more depressed. Not long after he came to Jiangnan, he suddenly saw a man a few days ago. This man was the eunuch in the palace, to be precise, the eunuch in the palace of Concubine Niu Hulu.This eunuch is getting old. He came out of the palace two years ago and was taken to Jiangnan to be raised.At this time, I was very happy to see the old master.

I was also very happy to see Lao Shi, the old servant who served Eniang, here, but then I learned of a bolt from the blue.

Back then when I was young, Brother Nine was playing alone in the Royal Garden, and Er Niang got pushed for Brother Nine in a moment of anger, and almost drowned Brother Nine, but was rescued by Brother Seven. Brother Jiu died.

Of course, the old ten didn't believe what the old eunuch said. The old eunuch swore that this thing really existed. If the young master didn't believe it, he could go to the palace to inquire about the people who served in front of the imperial concubine , There are still some fish that slipped through the net in the palace.

This person said a series of names, and these names were very familiar to the old ten.The reason why he is familiar with these names is not because these people serve him in Erniang Palace and he knows them, but because these people are all in Lao Ba's house, and Lao Shi has been there many times, so he remembers the names of these eunuchs and old maids. Name up.

The old ten naturally went on to inquire and found out that Er Niang had done such a thing back then, but it was not done confidentially. In the words of the old eunuch, half of the people in the imperial concubine's palace knew the news, and the imperial concubine The empress thought that only she and a few trusted servants knew about it.

"...At that time, the empress was a little impatient. On the one hand, she felt that Concubine Yi was too much adore, and on the other hand, she felt that the imperial concubine was hateful. It really happened that day. I had no plan at first, but I learned that Master Jiu was alone by the lake. Playing, the empress made a plan. After this thing was done, the empress also regretted a little. She didn't expect to be caught by the emperor's people immediately. At that time, all the slaves around the empress were changed. It was also because of this. From then on, the empress had no choice but to Healing from the ground..."

The old eunuch babbled so much, the more the old ten heard it, the more he felt that it was not fake, because no matter how many times he asked, the old eunuch could always explain in detail, many details were explained clearly, and the whole thing was in line Logic, echoing back and forth with the things that I thought were problematic when I was young.

Er Niang was originally a noble concubine, why did she become ill?Why can't I participate in the celebrations in the palace after I'm sick?At that time, I only wanted to be happy, and didn't care about Er Niang at all.Did Erniang really die of illness?

Thinking of this, the old ten had doubts about Er Niang's death, but after thinking about it later, he thought that Er Niang must have died of illness. After all, it had been several years since Er Niang passed away, and his younger sister was safely taken away. Produced.

And on the night of Er Niang's death, I went to see Er Niang, and Er Niang did not behave differently from usual.Except that my younger sister is a little afraid of Er Niang, Er Niang treats herself as usual.

But if Erniang really did this, Huang Ama would never forgive her.Was Erniang imprisoned in the following years, or was she really recuperating?

Because there are so many things, Old Ten's mind will not be able to turn around for a while.It wasn't until Old Ten finally regained his composure after two days that he realized that there was something weird about this matter.

If the people in Erniang Palace were scattered to various places in the palace, Lao Shi felt that there would be no problem.But why did these people all go to Lao Ba's house, and why did he meet this old eunuch in Jiangnan.

Did the old eunuch meet him by chance or a well-planned encounter.

On the morning when he and Lao Jiu visited Cao Yin, he sent someone to call the old eunuch to ask again, but he heard that the old eunuch died of a sudden illness two nights ago.

This time, Lao Shi felt that someone was plotting against him, and he couldn't tell Brother Jiu about this matter, which made Lao Shi suffer a lot.

Just when the two brothers were upset with each other, Cao Yin came out quickly, "My servant greets the two masters, and the two masters forgive me. I should have visited the two masters, but I didn't expect the master to come to the door in person today. It’s the slave who didn’t do his job well, so please forgive me.”

Lao Jiu didn't have the heart to gossip with him too much, "You also know that my brothers and sisters came to the south of the Yangtze River for business, so they stopped talking nonsense, and now they want to check the accounts of your weaving government office."

Cao Yin was really not worried about checking the accounts. The Weaving Mansion had two sets of accounts, one was for the people who paid on the surface, and the other was for the Weaving Mansion and the General Secretary's Yamen.

"I don't know when the masters started to check it? The account book of the weaving mansion has been well preserved and can be consulted at any time from the time when the slave father came to the south of the Yangtze River to be the head of the weaving mansion."

After hearing this, Lao Jiu raised his head and looked at Cao Yin, thinking in his heart: No wonder the old man thinks highly of this old slave, it seems that this matter is done openly and clearly, without rushing.

"Of course, the sooner the better, who doesn't know that you have a lot of money to weave the government office, there are many loopholes that can be exploited, and if something is found by then... Mr. Cao, don't blame the man for not thinking about the old love. I heard that you have received the imperial decree and are going to take office in the capital?"

"Jiuye's news is quite fast, and this slave has just received the imperial edict. But Jiuye, don't worry, the imperial edict says that the slave should hand over everything clearly before going to the capital. The slave will not leave until the account is clarified this time." .”

Lao Jiu smiled a bit, and he had a smile on his face. He didn't believe that the weaving government office was like a pool of clear water.And Cao Yin put down a stone in his heart, it's good to check the accounts, the longer he checks, the longer he will stay in Jiangnan, and there will be more things that can be handed over. Three or two sentences can make it clear.

The two of them became satisfied in their hearts at the same time.

The author has something to say: I went to see peony with my friend at noon today. When I was taking pictures, my friend suddenly asked me, "Have you noticed that peony flowers and cabbage look alike."
