Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty
Chapter 137
This matter will never end so easily.
The eighth elder brother has been in business for so many years, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all saying good things for him.So many old and young men in Aixinjueluo's family showed affection to him.He was banned suddenly today, and everyone couldn't accept it.
How many people participated in the court meeting in Qianqing Palace?How many people can know the scene at that time?The whole capital city has already started to turmoil, and all kinds of speculations emerge in endlessly.
Kangxi wanted to end this matter quickly, not because he didn't want to reprimand the son, nor did he want to advertise the world's famous canon punishment.But because the Baye Party is too powerful, it can be called shaking Yue and filling the sea. We have to lock up the old one first, and then attack the Baye Party.
After he came back from the main hall, he called Yang Dan to his side, "You keep an eye on the capital, the capital may be in chaos these days. Even if you sleep, you have to keep your eyes open."
Yang Dan agreed, not daring to stay in the palace for long and hastily went out to make arrangements.
The people in the main hall had already dispersed, and everyone left the palace shaking their heads. They didn't go home after leaving the palace, but gathered together.
The other princes hurried home and closed their doors to thank their guests, unwilling to have any more contact with anyone.
The old fourteen has hastily recruited the eighth elder brother's confidantes.Together with the men in the clan and the ministers in the court, the bustling people crowded into the room.
Don't look at the old 14 and the young, he is already able to hold the field stably at this time.He walked up and down in front of these people with his hands behind his back, looking very troubled, "It's not that the Lord said, this happened so fast that no one could react, so everyone talked about what to do manage?"
The people below looked at each other a few times, and it was natural that someone advocated to rescue the eighth elder brother.This proposal was approved by everyone, and the public responded.
"Master Fourteen, you still need to speak well for Lord Eighth in the palace. We heard that Lord Fourth framed Lord Eighth. Now Lord Fourth has internal support in the palace. He is the empress's son. It can be regarded as half a son of the eldest son, and the deposed prince is just a shield pulled out by him. The crux of the problem is still on the fourth master. Outside, we tripped up the fourth master, and in the palace, you should speak more good words for the eighth master." .
At this time, another man with a goatee stood up and shook his head, saying: If this matter is serious, it is a matter of the court, if it is small, it is a matter of the family.It also needs to be solved internally by the royal family.The ministers in the imperial court should not be involved for the time being. It is necessary for the princes of the clan and the ladies in the palace to work together to rescue the eighth master first.
The result of these people's discussions was to let Shisi and Concubine Liang come forward first, and then all the princes came together to complain for Ba Ye.
As soon as the old fourteen heard that his mother was involved in this matter, he felt a little displeased, "The empress in the palace can't speak in front of the emperor, let's forget about this matter, and the Lord will go in person at that time."
The fourteenth elder brother rushed back to the palace, first comforted the concubine Liang, told her not to worry, he would rescue the starling, the concubine Liang had never experienced anything serious, she was so frightened that her face paled, her eyes were already swollen from crying .
"I said at the beginning that this prince should not be a prince. As long as you have the ability to eat as much as you want, you two brothers can just do well. Don't think about those who have and don't. Now that you are suddenly banned, what will you do in the future? Inside his house His concubine is already pregnant, so will the child be imprisoned with his father once it is born?"
The old fourteen didn't listen to the concubine Liang at all, how could the mother-in-law know the beauty of power?The starling spent so much effort to poach the corner of the big brother!Now that he has fallen to such a big somersault, he must not be reconciled.
At this time, the old fourteen had even more ulterior motives, so he stabilized the concubine Liang first, and then asked to see the queen mother. Instead of going to Kangxi directly, he went to the queen mother, who didn't understand anything about the court. , When I heard that another grandson was locked up, how could I sit still.
"What's the matter? What did your brothers do to make your Huang Ama unhappy?"
Of course, Shisi would not tell what happened in the court, but only said that he was worried about his brother now.I don't know what happened to make the emperor unhappy, and I want to ask the queen mother to come forward to accommodate, let my brother be released first, even if there are other punishments, the starling will accept it, the ban must not be ignored in his body.
Although the queen mother is unreliable and doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the court, she also knows that if a person is banned, his whole life will be finished.
At this time, she was eager to know the reason. The reason why the eldest brother was locked up was because he cursed the second child. Is this what a real brother should do?So he was locked up and couldn't intercede for him.
But Lao Ba is usually gentle and gentle, and has never done anything outrageous, let alone harming his brother.Why was this child locked up again?The empress dowager sent someone to invite the emperor over.
The princes outside the palace have also organized. Except for the new county king Yangdan, the others have already lined up to enter the palace. The reason why Yangdan is not here is because no one can find him, and because he belongs to the empress. The adopted son and the fourth elder brother are getting close. In the eyes of these princes, Yang Dan is considered a traitor and cannot act together with Yang Dan.
The people here were so bold that they even tricked all these princes into the palace by using Prince Zhuang's false biography.
Everyone gathered in the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion and Peace. There was a lot of ice in the house on a hot day, and everyone felt drenched in sweat. In addition, things became very serious, so many people were very anxious.
The queen mother saw so many people coming, and these old princes were crying very pitifully, and they made things very serious. If Lao Ba was imprisoned, it would be the end of the Qing Dynasty.
For a while, the queen mother was in a state of confusion, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, the slaves around her did not dare to give her any advice. They sent several groups of slaves to invite the emperor, but the emperor did not come.And Yaerjiang E'a came up with an idea at this time, "Why don't we go to Qianqing Palace."
Princes, look at me and I look at you. Everyone knows that at this time, they will definitely be scolded in the past.Many people used their eyes to indicate to the fifth child that you were raised by the empress dowager, so hurry up and coax the old lady at this time, so that the empress dowager and her elderly will not be disturbed in this muddy water.
The fifth child also meant the same thing. He hurried forward to coax the queen mother, "This is the business of the men outside. You old man can just sit in the palace and enjoy the wealth and honor. Why don't we go to Qianqing Palace, and you old man don't go there."
In Lao Wu's imagination: When the time comes to stabilize the Queen Mother, everyone will disperse as soon as they leave the door of the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Who will follow them to the Palace of Qianqing?Whoever goes at this time is a fool.
The wishful thinking of the fifth brother, Fourteen, had been clear for a long time. Brother Fourteen wanted to make a big fuss, and after making a big fuss, he would make the emperor's father furious.Even if the starling is rescued, he will become a useless person.At that time, all these forces will naturally fall into his own hands.
Hearing the old fifth's words, he stepped forward and fell in front of the queen mother, crawled over with hands and feet, lay on the queen mother's lap and cried, crying while expressing that he would carry the queen mother to the Qianqing Palace.
Of course the brothers disagree. What this group of people are afraid of is that things will go wrong. After the big trouble, they don’t know who will be unlucky. Everyone has a family, a wife and a lot of children, and there is a group of interest groups behind them. What I want is to get this matter over quickly, and naturally want to stop Brother Fourteen's plan, so a group of princes knelt down in front of the Queen Mother like dumplings, sandwiched Old Fourteen in the middle, and pulled him out of the Queen Mother's arms with both hands and feet .
The queen mother has never experienced such chaos. She watched the grandchildren start punching and kicking. Although they were not her own, she watched them grow up.Usually these children are filial children, all respectful and gentle.The grandson at this time made her look no different from the pack of wolves on the grassland.
He speaks quickly and quickly, and strikes cruelly and viciously.In peacetime, they are like two different people.If there were one or two, the queen mother would only be shocked, but a group of them were like this, which made the queen mother feel that she couldn't accept it. She stared blankly at these children and forgot to cry, with tears hanging on her face, she was dumbfounded.
During this quarrel, Kangxi came over. As soon as Kangxi entered the door, he saw the old lady was caught in the middle of this group of grandchildren, as if frightened.
Seeing this group of evildoers causing trouble again, his heart ached, and he couldn't help but ran over and kicked each of his sons, and hurried to see the old lady.
"Emperor Niang, Empress Niang? What's the matter? Did you say something, old man?"
The Queen Mother was shaken by Kangxi a few times, grabbed Kangxi's hand and cried, "Your Majesty..."
Kangxi felt that the old lady was trembling all over, so he quickly half-kneeled on the pedals and patted her on the shoulder, and asked someone to take the queen over to talk with the old lady, then turned around and slapped the sons hard scratched.He looked at the clan members who were in the room again, "Don't you want to ask me for an explanation? They are all a group of old men, what's the point of blocking an ignorant old lady? Since you want to explain, go, Go to the Qianqing Palace first and wait, I will settle the score with you after the old lady is taken care of."
He gritted his teeth and said the word "accounting for accounts", and many people's hearts skipped a beat, thinking that there might be no way to settle this matter.
The clan members retreated slowly, and the princes knelt on the ground without moving. Kangxi looked at the group of sons, and couldn't help but asked in a strange way: "What are you doing here? Are you waiting to see the truth about me and the Queen Mother?" Are you mad? Don’t worry, I will let you collect the corpse after you die of anger. I just ask for a thin coffin to wrap the body at that time, and I dare not ask for anything else.”
After saying this, the princes kowtowed more than once, really kowtowed, and after a while, everyone's forehead was red, swollen and bleeding.
These sons kowtowed loudly, Kangxi turned a deaf ear to it, he slowly patted the queen mother's back to comfort her, then took the tea bowl from the hand of the maid, first let the queen drink ginseng soup to calm her shock.
The queen mother didn't recover from the fright for a while, but she felt a little unbearable to these grandchildren, "Don't let them kowtow, they are usually raised with gold and jade, and they are afraid of kowtow when they are held in their hands. When I was naughty and scratched a little oily skin, I felt distressed like something, but now my head is full of blood, forget it. My old lady has not suffered any grievances, so there is no need to punish these children anymore. "
Kangxi shook his head, "When they were young, they were filial, so naturally they should take good care of them. But now that they have grown up, everyone has more thoughts. They clearly know that you don't care about the affairs of the court, but they dare not What's the reason for asking me to entangle you, but come here to stop you from asking for an explanation? They say that filial sons are born under the stick. I didn't believe this before, but now I believe it. They didn't get beaten when they were young, so they are now Such a bold move."
While Kangxi was speaking, the princes were still kowtowing, and the floor tiles of the Compassionate Ning Palace were all stained with blood.The queen mother couldn't bear it, "Forget it, my wife doesn't understand their affairs, don't let them kowtow, let them go to the Qianqing Palace and wait, if they make mistakes, they will be punished, and if they are wrong, they will be spared. About the old eight..."
"You don't have to worry about his affairs, just pretend you never raised this grandson."
As soon as she said this, the Queen Mother burst into tears and grabbed Kangxi's hand, "How can you say that you never raised him? I love each of these grandchildren. The eldest went in and the second was locked up. Now the eighth is like this. Emperor, please tell my old lady, is this matter over now? My old lady is afraid that someone will come to tell me in a few days, and another man will be locked up!"
"Don't worry, this matter will be over soon. The second child will come out in a few days. When he comes out, let his couple kowtow to you."
Kangxi didn't plan to stay in the Compassionate Ning Palace for a long time. If he stayed for a long time, the old lady would definitely pester her more.And this matter can't be dragged on any longer. I wanted to fool the past and just lock up Lao Ba alone, but I didn't expect that now I have to kill people to make these people calm down.
Some people will be completely honest only if the heads of the people are killed, otherwise they will not have any fear in their hearts, and they will dare to do any daring things.
Tian Mi has already arrived. She bypassed the kowtowing princes and came to the Queen Mother. Seeing the old lady's face full of tears, she quickly put her arms around her shoulders, "My daughter-in-law is late, and you have been surprised."
Seeing Tian Mi, the Queen Mother shed tears of grievance, "It really shocked me just now, you didn't know that these children suddenly became like a pack of wolves, looking like they were going to eat people..."
Kangxi nodded to Tian Mi, signaled Tian Mi to take good care of the old lady, and kicked the third child next to him, "Stop knocking, let's go, don't you guys have something to say? I'll let you talk enough later. "
The third child was kicked, and in addition to being kicked just now, and kowtowed for a long time, he was dizzy and couldn't get up for a long time.
But the eunuchs didn't care so much, they went up and dragged him out of the Compassionate Ning Palace.
The maids and eunuchs in the Compassionate Ning Palace quickly came over with a basin and a cloth towel to wipe off the blood on the floor, and then lit incense to soothe the nerves. All traces disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
In the Qianqing Palace, apart from the prince of the clan, there were also various ministers and princes, and even the eighth elder brother was brought.The fourteenth elder brother came out to complain for the eighth elder brother, accusing the fourth elder brother in his words of constructing the eighth elder brother.
At this time, there was nothing to hide, and Kangxi stopped acting in front of these sons at all, pointing at Lao Ba, "Yinhu's crime does not lie in how much money he has embezzled in the south of the Yangtze River, but in forming a party for personal gain and having great ambitions. He regards the crown prince as something in his pocket, and started to stir up disputes between his brothers in order to gain the benefits of the fisherman more than ten years ago. As a son of man, he is unfaithful and filial, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful. He even forged the crown prince. Yin Xin mobilized troops and put me and my family in a dangerous situation. He had the heart of rebellion when he was on the frontier that day. If I hadn't taken precautions, maybe his group of rebels had already entered the imperial tent and killed me and my family. All the princes were killed, clearing the way for him to ascend to the throne."
The eighth elder brother was like a log, kneeling there in a daze.
The fourteenth elder brother immediately retorted after hearing this, "You are all based on guesswork, without any evidence. At that time, you said that the candidate nominated by the courtiers in the world was the candidate for the new prince. You were worried that the starling would take you out of the way, so you backed down. For the king, you are too suspicious, and for the father, you are unreasonable..."
The fourteenth elder brother didn't finish his words, and the princes stopped talking one after another, but the fourteenth elder brother was not afraid at all, "Isn't that what my son said? All the subjects in the world think so. It was you who said it yourself in the Golden Luan Hall that day." Want to choose a prince, but now you have pulled out the deposed prince to get in the way, like you backtracking, where is the prestige of the court?"
Kangxi clutched his chest all at once, and reached for the purse with the other hand, which contained pills.
The eighth elder brother's eyes darkened, and he was eagerly looking forward to something.
The pain in Kangxi's heart became more and more serious, but he resisted his unwillingness to reveal the fact that he had a heart disease in front of his sons, but what he said broke the old man's way to the sky, "Yinhu, a traitor and a soft man The nature is presumptuous and ambitious, and cannot be entrusted to the foundation of the ancestors. It is also born of the slaves of Xinzheku, and has a high and sinister heart since childhood..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Brother Ba was trembling all over. This was a rejection of himself from the root.Fourteenth elder brother's eyeballs are already red. If the emperor scolded mynah, there would be no fluctuations in his heart, but if even Erniang scolded her too, then his inverse scales would really be touched.
The young and vigorous fourteenth elder brother couldn't help but directly retorted, "Would Xin Zheku be willing to have this son? Without you, could she have given birth to this son? Don't blame Erniang for all your sins. It is said that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, it is your upper beam that is not straight, so don’t blame him for the crooked lower beam.”
At this time, Kangxi was on the verge of collapse, his lips were purple, and his face was pale. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was wrong with him. The princes yelled at Fourteenth Brother to stop talking. Beauty, Erniang wouldn't have given birth to mynah, how could it be today if mynah hadn't been born? All the crimes are tied to you."
Kangxi became angry from embarrassment, enduring the severe pain in his heart, he drew the guard's sword and slashed at the fourteenth, all the princes shouted, the fifth and seventh hugged Kangxi's leg, the third hugged Kangxi's waist, Thirteen had already received the sword with his bare hands, and the fourth child quickly snatched the knife from Kangxi's hand.
The fifth child shouted, "He's lost his mind, don't be as knowledgeable as he is."
The third child also said: "Let's teach him a lesson later, and hand over the guilt to the clan's family. You can't kill him yourself."
Things like killing his son with his own hands will be heavily recorded in the history books, and Kangxi's first fame is completely gone.
Fifteen and Sixteen had already covered Fourteen's mouth, fearing that he would say something radical again, Kangxi looked at the faces of each son, rolled his eyes and passed out.
For a while, everyone hurriedly carried him to the bed. After the imperial doctor came, they complained incessantly. In today's situation, Kangxi's illness could no longer be concealed.
It's just that the eunuch downplayed the matter and said: "The emperor was so angry that his blood surged just now. After all, he is getting old. Don't make the emperor angry again."
After saying this, many people secretly made a few glances.
Kangxi didn't wake up until the afternoon, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Tian Mi sitting beside the bed.
"What time is it?"
"It's time to eat dinner. The imperial doctor has fooled my cousin's illness today, but these children are not stupid, so I guess they have already guessed it." After Tian Mi finished speaking, she stepped forward to help him sit up, and put a hand on his back. a pillow. "Take the medicine first, and talk about other things later."
Kangxi drank half a bowl of medicine, put down the medicine bowl and asked about Shisan's recent situation, "He caught the blade with one hand, how is that hand now?"
There was a lot of blood, but luckily my hand was fine and had been bandaged.
"This group of children! What they said is right. If you have more sons, you will be called for debt. I don't know how much we owed them in the previous life. In this life, I am not at peace."
Tian Mi also sighed, and looked outside the hall, "Concubine Liang and her son have been kneeling for a whole day, do you want to call them over?"
When talking about Concubine Liang, Kangxi couldn't help but think of Fourteen saying that he was greedy for Concubine Liang's beauty, "What? They still know to come here to plead guilty? Today that little bastard scolded me arrogantly. He tore it off and stepped on the ground a few times, and he wanted to expose the matter with a light apology? Let them continue to kneel, and don't kneel in the Qianqing Palace. Looking upset, go back and kneel. When will I calm down? When did you get him up?"
Soon some eunuchs went out to deliver the decree, and Kangxi went down absentmindedly and walked around a few times before starting to eat dinner.Tian Mi was picking up vegetables for him, when a court lady hurried in and whispered a few words in Tian Mi's ear.
Kangxi couldn't help asking: "Is there another moth somewhere?"
Tian Mi smiled, not sure whether to tell the story?From Tian Mi's point of view, Concubine Liang is really unlucky, and she is completely dragged down by these two sons.But it's okay not to say it, after all, everyone in the harem knows about this incident.
"It's just... Concubine Liang felt guilty after returning home, so she wanted to hang herself... Fortunately, the court ladies are alert, and they have been rescued at this time..."
These words were embellished by Tian Mi. The actual situation is that Concubine Liang feels that she has dragged her two sons down, and she wants to settle it after she dies.She did this with a bit of resentment, and at this juncture, Kangxi was absolutely angry.
Sure enough, as Tian Mi expected, Kangxi snorted coldly, "In this case, let her hang on the rope. Someone give her a white silk, remember to give her a ride."
When Tian Mi heard this, she quickly put down her chopsticks, "Let's forget about it. The family members cannot be involved in the affairs of the men outside. Anyway, Concubine Liang is dragged down by her son. Besides, the child, Ba, is not by her side either." Growing up, it's not like you don't know that old eight's daughter-in-law, she often shows her face to her mother-in-law. The relationship between the couple and Concubine Liang was not deep in the first place, and this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Liang. She has become like this now It's quite pitiful, so don't worry about her, let her fend for herself in the Yonghe Palace."
It is said that it will die on its own, but Concubine Liang still has a son, and the people in the palace will not treat her harshly.
There is one thing to say, Concubine Liang really has nothing to do with this matter, it is all because Kangxi was so angry that he blamed all the sins of his sons on the mother of the child.Speaking of which, as a father, he should be criticized even more. Concubine Liang used to have a low status and could not interfere with her son's upbringing, but Kangxi, as a father, could directly control her son's upbringing.
Kangxi also understood this truth, but he couldn't keep his face off, so he just snorted coldly and continued to eat.
As for Fourteen, Tian Mi asked Kangxi, "Brother Fourteen, why don't you go back and be locked up for a few months? He talked back to you today, and it was all for his mother, and he is also a filial child. After you fainted, he was busy and knelt outside, telling me to let it go. The empress dowager was quite shocked. What happened this morning made those old princes of the clan I was terrified, and now I’m all honest. I think this matter is settled like this, otherwise it will be a bloodbath if it gets involved.”
Kangxi shook his head, "You don't understand. In court affairs, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. This is doing things with your head up, definitely not you women. People think it's so easy. Don't worry about it. I'll be busy for a few more days. I don't have time to go to the harem. You can stabilize the harem. You can take care of the queen mother. The old man is too old to be frightened. , you go to her whenever you have anything to do, otherwise you and your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will move to live in the garden."
The more Kangxi thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea to place these female relatives in the garden. When the time came, there would be heavy guards, and no news would be able to get in.It is better to let them listen to the opera and drink tea inside than to be frightened outside.
"How about this, you will go back to live in the garden tomorrow, bring those jugglers, storytellers, and opera singers in, and have fun for a few days."
Tian Mi could only agree, but Sifujin was terrified by what happened outside.Not to mention her, the other Fujin are also like this. Although my men seem to be fine now, they are afraid that something will happen. Once something happens, it will be too late to deal with it.
Sifujin's advantage is that her mother-in-law is the queen in the palace, even if the outside world turns upside down, it will not affect the queen.
She quickly packed her children's things, and sent the children into the palace at dawn. In name, she was serving the empress, but in fact she was asking for shelter for the children.If it is said that if my men are unfortunately implicated, the whole family will be banned.It is better to let the children grow up with the mother than to be locked up at home with the mother.
When Tian Mi saw this group of children, she knew what Sifujin meant, so she sighed in her heart and kept them.
Moreover, all the princes' residences were watching each other, Si Fujin had just sent the children to the palace, Wu Fujin moved quickly and sent several of his own children to Concubine Yi.
San Fujin didn't even pack his things, he sent the children directly to the carriage, and when the concubines' carriages were driving out of the palace, he directly stuffed the carriage into the team leaving the palace and handed it to Concubine Rong.
Concubine Yi hurriedly hugged her grandchildren in her arms at this time, looked left and right, but did not see the children of Lao Jiu's family, and scolded Jiu Fujin in her heart.
Old Nine, this bastard got close to Eighth Brother in the early years, and if it was settled in the future, he would have to find trouble with Old Nine. At this time, Old Five's family can not send their children to the palace, but the children of Old Nine's family must be sent to the palace. The palace asked himself to take care of it.
The carriage traveled all the way and did not see Lao Jiu's family sending their children over. When Concubine Yi got out of the car, she scolded Lao Jiu's wife in front of her sister: "You idiot, does she think that she doesn't have a son and doesn't care about these children?" , if something happens to Lao Jiu, what can her daughter do? "
After finishing speaking, I couldn't help but add another sentence, "The one who should come will not come, and the one who shouldn't will will come."
The children of Lao Wu's family are not young anymore, the older one is more than ten years old, and the younger one is two or three years old. Hearing what the grandmother said, those who are already sensible can't help but turn pale.Listening to this means that my brothers and sisters should not come.
Seeing the faces of the children, Guo Guiren smiled wryly in his heart. He was really anxious, and he couldn't hold back his words in a hurry. "Good boy, my mother didn't say anything about you, hurry up and come in with us."
After Tian Mi came to Changchun Garden, she lost her understanding of the outside news.Kangxi was right in thinking, Changchun Garden was heavily guarded, there was no shortage of food, drink, and entertainment, but none of the outside news could get in.
Although the queen mother was coaxed happily by the concubines, she held Tian Mi's hand in private and asked, "Have you heard what happened on the outside? How are their father and son doing now? I dreamed yesterday that the emperor put The children were all killed."
"Don't say that. Who can live without their tongues touching their teeth? How can a family not be noisy. At that time, the father and son will talk about it, and they all say that dreams and reality are contradictory. Yes. The children will come to greet you in their entirety. The main reason is that you are always scaring yourself during this period. Let’s watch a few more scenes and be more happy. This matter is over."
"I'm not scaring myself, I'm just afraid!"
The old man sighed, recently he couldn't be as heartless as before. "I used to have a palace maid who told me that Lao Cai, a landlord in their village, had 800 mu of land in his house. Because of this 800 mu of land, the house was full of troubles. What's the fuss about mu land? I didn't expect this to happen in our house."
Then the old lady sighed, and Tian Mi tried her best to relieve her.Even singing and storytelling can't attract her attention. The old lady used to like to watch people somersaulting on the stage, but now she feels upset when she sees people doing somersaults.
Tian Mi found that these fun things could no longer make the old lady happy, so she mobilized the concubines and asked them to think of ways to make the old lady happy.
Concubine Liang sat listlessly among a group of concubines, extremely haggard.Her heart is more tormented than others. At most, others are worried about their sons, but those without sons live a relaxed and happy life.But Concubine Liang seemed to be able to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood as soon as she opened her eyes, and her two sons were lying in a pool of blood.
In just a few days, the whole person seemed to be ten years older, and there was a little white in the hair, and he no longer had the beauty of the first beauty in the harem.
The other princes couldn't come into the garden, and there was no news from outside, so Yang Dan could still come to visit occasionally.
Every time he came, he came and went in a hurry, and this kid was very strict with his mouth, he would not tell Tian Mi any news from outside the palace.
Every time he asked about it, he always said that Huang Ama didn't let him talk nonsense. "You also know that these women in the palace have broken mouths, and a brick in the palace can talk. If this is revealed to you today, the Kung Fu Garden will already know it in less than half a day. It's not that you are not strict at the corners of your mouth, but It would be good for you not to tell you. Anyway, every time my son comes here, he just wants to see how you and the queen mother are doing. Huang Ama cares more about you two."
Tian Mi still wanted to get some other news from him, "Did you kill someone?"
"I can tell you something quietly. The heads of the people who were killed at the entrance of the vegetable market are rolling, and the floor tiles inside are full of blood, and they can't be washed clean. There are a few unowned dogs waiting to eat the corpses. Come back, another group came... After all, nine batches of people have been detained in that place. Each batch has hundreds of people."
"Who are they all?"
"That's too much, most of them are officials and servants of the palace. Don't worry about it, you won't be able to sleep if you listen too much." Finally, he added, "Your female relatives still can't know about this kind of thing. , son, don't say so much, anyway, this kind of thing hurts peace."
On the night Tian Mi got the news, a group of eunuchs broke into Changchun Garden and came directly to Tian Mi.
The group of eunuchs respectfully knelt in front of Tian Mi, and held a scroll of bright yellow imperial edict to Tian Mi with both hands.
Tian Mi quickly opened it to take a look, the imperial decree told her not to take care of the affairs of Changchun Garden, and leave everything to these servants to handle.
At this moment, Tian Mi felt terrified, rolled up the imperial decree, and held it in her hands, "Although the emperor said that I don't need to care so much, the female family members in the palace are all noble, and you can't fight against them. You are old and have been frightened recently, if you act out of order and frighten the old lady, you can't bear it."
The leading eunuch was very young, and he responded humbly that he would not disturb the nobles in the palaces. They were all eunuchs of the Shenxing Division, and their purpose was to judge whether some court ladies and eunuchs in the palace had any connection with the eighth master.And they are only arresting people this night, and they will leave Changchun Garden after dawn.
Tian Mi nodded, and then the Changchun Garden started to run wild, except that the Queen Mother was a little quieter and did not disturb the Queen Mother who took away the two maids, but Tian Mi didn't have anyone taken away. From the concubine's place, several eunuchs and maids were more or less taken away.
In the middle of the night, all the concubines came to Tian Mi's yard to sit quietly. They heard that the group of eunuchs were only doing their hands in this night, so they all opened their eyes and waited until dawn.
Before midnight, this group of people had all been arrested according to the names on the list, came quietly, and quietly exited Changchun Garden.
From this day on, the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in Changchun Garden disappeared.The empress dowager and the big guys in front of her forced a smile, but in the corner where the empress dowager couldn't see, everyone was frowning.
The children and princes in Changchun Garden were also worried.By Tian Mi's side, Hong Yun is fine, he doesn't go anywhere, just recuperates in the house.Hongshi and Hongli ran around a few days ago, and thought it was a beautiful thing to play in the garden. They could play however they wanted without their parents’ control, but these days they were frightened by this incident and dared not go out. Yes, surrounded by Tian Mi all day long.
Concubine Liang was already ill, and she was under great pressure.After being sick, I don’t eat or drink, trying to make myself unable to get up again.She wanted to seek death, but she was afraid that the emperor would use her suicide as an excuse to embarrass her two sons. She could not die, and she would suffer while alive, and her life was very tormented.
Tian Mi was thinking in her heart, when will this kind of thing be big?The last time the eldest and second child were imprisoned, the palace was not cleaned like this.
At this time, Tian Mi felt that Lao Ba was really a disaster.
The eighth elder brother has been in business for so many years, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all saying good things for him.So many old and young men in Aixinjueluo's family showed affection to him.He was banned suddenly today, and everyone couldn't accept it.
How many people participated in the court meeting in Qianqing Palace?How many people can know the scene at that time?The whole capital city has already started to turmoil, and all kinds of speculations emerge in endlessly.
Kangxi wanted to end this matter quickly, not because he didn't want to reprimand the son, nor did he want to advertise the world's famous canon punishment.But because the Baye Party is too powerful, it can be called shaking Yue and filling the sea. We have to lock up the old one first, and then attack the Baye Party.
After he came back from the main hall, he called Yang Dan to his side, "You keep an eye on the capital, the capital may be in chaos these days. Even if you sleep, you have to keep your eyes open."
Yang Dan agreed, not daring to stay in the palace for long and hastily went out to make arrangements.
The people in the main hall had already dispersed, and everyone left the palace shaking their heads. They didn't go home after leaving the palace, but gathered together.
The other princes hurried home and closed their doors to thank their guests, unwilling to have any more contact with anyone.
The old fourteen has hastily recruited the eighth elder brother's confidantes.Together with the men in the clan and the ministers in the court, the bustling people crowded into the room.
Don't look at the old 14 and the young, he is already able to hold the field stably at this time.He walked up and down in front of these people with his hands behind his back, looking very troubled, "It's not that the Lord said, this happened so fast that no one could react, so everyone talked about what to do manage?"
The people below looked at each other a few times, and it was natural that someone advocated to rescue the eighth elder brother.This proposal was approved by everyone, and the public responded.
"Master Fourteen, you still need to speak well for Lord Eighth in the palace. We heard that Lord Fourth framed Lord Eighth. Now Lord Fourth has internal support in the palace. He is the empress's son. It can be regarded as half a son of the eldest son, and the deposed prince is just a shield pulled out by him. The crux of the problem is still on the fourth master. Outside, we tripped up the fourth master, and in the palace, you should speak more good words for the eighth master." .
At this time, another man with a goatee stood up and shook his head, saying: If this matter is serious, it is a matter of the court, if it is small, it is a matter of the family.It also needs to be solved internally by the royal family.The ministers in the imperial court should not be involved for the time being. It is necessary for the princes of the clan and the ladies in the palace to work together to rescue the eighth master first.
The result of these people's discussions was to let Shisi and Concubine Liang come forward first, and then all the princes came together to complain for Ba Ye.
As soon as the old fourteen heard that his mother was involved in this matter, he felt a little displeased, "The empress in the palace can't speak in front of the emperor, let's forget about this matter, and the Lord will go in person at that time."
The fourteenth elder brother rushed back to the palace, first comforted the concubine Liang, told her not to worry, he would rescue the starling, the concubine Liang had never experienced anything serious, she was so frightened that her face paled, her eyes were already swollen from crying .
"I said at the beginning that this prince should not be a prince. As long as you have the ability to eat as much as you want, you two brothers can just do well. Don't think about those who have and don't. Now that you are suddenly banned, what will you do in the future? Inside his house His concubine is already pregnant, so will the child be imprisoned with his father once it is born?"
The old fourteen didn't listen to the concubine Liang at all, how could the mother-in-law know the beauty of power?The starling spent so much effort to poach the corner of the big brother!Now that he has fallen to such a big somersault, he must not be reconciled.
At this time, the old fourteen had even more ulterior motives, so he stabilized the concubine Liang first, and then asked to see the queen mother. Instead of going to Kangxi directly, he went to the queen mother, who didn't understand anything about the court. , When I heard that another grandson was locked up, how could I sit still.
"What's the matter? What did your brothers do to make your Huang Ama unhappy?"
Of course, Shisi would not tell what happened in the court, but only said that he was worried about his brother now.I don't know what happened to make the emperor unhappy, and I want to ask the queen mother to come forward to accommodate, let my brother be released first, even if there are other punishments, the starling will accept it, the ban must not be ignored in his body.
Although the queen mother is unreliable and doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the court, she also knows that if a person is banned, his whole life will be finished.
At this time, she was eager to know the reason. The reason why the eldest brother was locked up was because he cursed the second child. Is this what a real brother should do?So he was locked up and couldn't intercede for him.
But Lao Ba is usually gentle and gentle, and has never done anything outrageous, let alone harming his brother.Why was this child locked up again?The empress dowager sent someone to invite the emperor over.
The princes outside the palace have also organized. Except for the new county king Yangdan, the others have already lined up to enter the palace. The reason why Yangdan is not here is because no one can find him, and because he belongs to the empress. The adopted son and the fourth elder brother are getting close. In the eyes of these princes, Yang Dan is considered a traitor and cannot act together with Yang Dan.
The people here were so bold that they even tricked all these princes into the palace by using Prince Zhuang's false biography.
Everyone gathered in the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion and Peace. There was a lot of ice in the house on a hot day, and everyone felt drenched in sweat. In addition, things became very serious, so many people were very anxious.
The queen mother saw so many people coming, and these old princes were crying very pitifully, and they made things very serious. If Lao Ba was imprisoned, it would be the end of the Qing Dynasty.
For a while, the queen mother was in a state of confusion, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, the slaves around her did not dare to give her any advice. They sent several groups of slaves to invite the emperor, but the emperor did not come.And Yaerjiang E'a came up with an idea at this time, "Why don't we go to Qianqing Palace."
Princes, look at me and I look at you. Everyone knows that at this time, they will definitely be scolded in the past.Many people used their eyes to indicate to the fifth child that you were raised by the empress dowager, so hurry up and coax the old lady at this time, so that the empress dowager and her elderly will not be disturbed in this muddy water.
The fifth child also meant the same thing. He hurried forward to coax the queen mother, "This is the business of the men outside. You old man can just sit in the palace and enjoy the wealth and honor. Why don't we go to Qianqing Palace, and you old man don't go there."
In Lao Wu's imagination: When the time comes to stabilize the Queen Mother, everyone will disperse as soon as they leave the door of the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Who will follow them to the Palace of Qianqing?Whoever goes at this time is a fool.
The wishful thinking of the fifth brother, Fourteen, had been clear for a long time. Brother Fourteen wanted to make a big fuss, and after making a big fuss, he would make the emperor's father furious.Even if the starling is rescued, he will become a useless person.At that time, all these forces will naturally fall into his own hands.
Hearing the old fifth's words, he stepped forward and fell in front of the queen mother, crawled over with hands and feet, lay on the queen mother's lap and cried, crying while expressing that he would carry the queen mother to the Qianqing Palace.
Of course the brothers disagree. What this group of people are afraid of is that things will go wrong. After the big trouble, they don’t know who will be unlucky. Everyone has a family, a wife and a lot of children, and there is a group of interest groups behind them. What I want is to get this matter over quickly, and naturally want to stop Brother Fourteen's plan, so a group of princes knelt down in front of the Queen Mother like dumplings, sandwiched Old Fourteen in the middle, and pulled him out of the Queen Mother's arms with both hands and feet .
The queen mother has never experienced such chaos. She watched the grandchildren start punching and kicking. Although they were not her own, she watched them grow up.Usually these children are filial children, all respectful and gentle.The grandson at this time made her look no different from the pack of wolves on the grassland.
He speaks quickly and quickly, and strikes cruelly and viciously.In peacetime, they are like two different people.If there were one or two, the queen mother would only be shocked, but a group of them were like this, which made the queen mother feel that she couldn't accept it. She stared blankly at these children and forgot to cry, with tears hanging on her face, she was dumbfounded.
During this quarrel, Kangxi came over. As soon as Kangxi entered the door, he saw the old lady was caught in the middle of this group of grandchildren, as if frightened.
Seeing this group of evildoers causing trouble again, his heart ached, and he couldn't help but ran over and kicked each of his sons, and hurried to see the old lady.
"Emperor Niang, Empress Niang? What's the matter? Did you say something, old man?"
The Queen Mother was shaken by Kangxi a few times, grabbed Kangxi's hand and cried, "Your Majesty..."
Kangxi felt that the old lady was trembling all over, so he quickly half-kneeled on the pedals and patted her on the shoulder, and asked someone to take the queen over to talk with the old lady, then turned around and slapped the sons hard scratched.He looked at the clan members who were in the room again, "Don't you want to ask me for an explanation? They are all a group of old men, what's the point of blocking an ignorant old lady? Since you want to explain, go, Go to the Qianqing Palace first and wait, I will settle the score with you after the old lady is taken care of."
He gritted his teeth and said the word "accounting for accounts", and many people's hearts skipped a beat, thinking that there might be no way to settle this matter.
The clan members retreated slowly, and the princes knelt on the ground without moving. Kangxi looked at the group of sons, and couldn't help but asked in a strange way: "What are you doing here? Are you waiting to see the truth about me and the Queen Mother?" Are you mad? Don’t worry, I will let you collect the corpse after you die of anger. I just ask for a thin coffin to wrap the body at that time, and I dare not ask for anything else.”
After saying this, the princes kowtowed more than once, really kowtowed, and after a while, everyone's forehead was red, swollen and bleeding.
These sons kowtowed loudly, Kangxi turned a deaf ear to it, he slowly patted the queen mother's back to comfort her, then took the tea bowl from the hand of the maid, first let the queen drink ginseng soup to calm her shock.
The queen mother didn't recover from the fright for a while, but she felt a little unbearable to these grandchildren, "Don't let them kowtow, they are usually raised with gold and jade, and they are afraid of kowtow when they are held in their hands. When I was naughty and scratched a little oily skin, I felt distressed like something, but now my head is full of blood, forget it. My old lady has not suffered any grievances, so there is no need to punish these children anymore. "
Kangxi shook his head, "When they were young, they were filial, so naturally they should take good care of them. But now that they have grown up, everyone has more thoughts. They clearly know that you don't care about the affairs of the court, but they dare not What's the reason for asking me to entangle you, but come here to stop you from asking for an explanation? They say that filial sons are born under the stick. I didn't believe this before, but now I believe it. They didn't get beaten when they were young, so they are now Such a bold move."
While Kangxi was speaking, the princes were still kowtowing, and the floor tiles of the Compassionate Ning Palace were all stained with blood.The queen mother couldn't bear it, "Forget it, my wife doesn't understand their affairs, don't let them kowtow, let them go to the Qianqing Palace and wait, if they make mistakes, they will be punished, and if they are wrong, they will be spared. About the old eight..."
"You don't have to worry about his affairs, just pretend you never raised this grandson."
As soon as she said this, the Queen Mother burst into tears and grabbed Kangxi's hand, "How can you say that you never raised him? I love each of these grandchildren. The eldest went in and the second was locked up. Now the eighth is like this. Emperor, please tell my old lady, is this matter over now? My old lady is afraid that someone will come to tell me in a few days, and another man will be locked up!"
"Don't worry, this matter will be over soon. The second child will come out in a few days. When he comes out, let his couple kowtow to you."
Kangxi didn't plan to stay in the Compassionate Ning Palace for a long time. If he stayed for a long time, the old lady would definitely pester her more.And this matter can't be dragged on any longer. I wanted to fool the past and just lock up Lao Ba alone, but I didn't expect that now I have to kill people to make these people calm down.
Some people will be completely honest only if the heads of the people are killed, otherwise they will not have any fear in their hearts, and they will dare to do any daring things.
Tian Mi has already arrived. She bypassed the kowtowing princes and came to the Queen Mother. Seeing the old lady's face full of tears, she quickly put her arms around her shoulders, "My daughter-in-law is late, and you have been surprised."
Seeing Tian Mi, the Queen Mother shed tears of grievance, "It really shocked me just now, you didn't know that these children suddenly became like a pack of wolves, looking like they were going to eat people..."
Kangxi nodded to Tian Mi, signaled Tian Mi to take good care of the old lady, and kicked the third child next to him, "Stop knocking, let's go, don't you guys have something to say? I'll let you talk enough later. "
The third child was kicked, and in addition to being kicked just now, and kowtowed for a long time, he was dizzy and couldn't get up for a long time.
But the eunuchs didn't care so much, they went up and dragged him out of the Compassionate Ning Palace.
The maids and eunuchs in the Compassionate Ning Palace quickly came over with a basin and a cloth towel to wipe off the blood on the floor, and then lit incense to soothe the nerves. All traces disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
In the Qianqing Palace, apart from the prince of the clan, there were also various ministers and princes, and even the eighth elder brother was brought.The fourteenth elder brother came out to complain for the eighth elder brother, accusing the fourth elder brother in his words of constructing the eighth elder brother.
At this time, there was nothing to hide, and Kangxi stopped acting in front of these sons at all, pointing at Lao Ba, "Yinhu's crime does not lie in how much money he has embezzled in the south of the Yangtze River, but in forming a party for personal gain and having great ambitions. He regards the crown prince as something in his pocket, and started to stir up disputes between his brothers in order to gain the benefits of the fisherman more than ten years ago. As a son of man, he is unfaithful and filial, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful. He even forged the crown prince. Yin Xin mobilized troops and put me and my family in a dangerous situation. He had the heart of rebellion when he was on the frontier that day. If I hadn't taken precautions, maybe his group of rebels had already entered the imperial tent and killed me and my family. All the princes were killed, clearing the way for him to ascend to the throne."
The eighth elder brother was like a log, kneeling there in a daze.
The fourteenth elder brother immediately retorted after hearing this, "You are all based on guesswork, without any evidence. At that time, you said that the candidate nominated by the courtiers in the world was the candidate for the new prince. You were worried that the starling would take you out of the way, so you backed down. For the king, you are too suspicious, and for the father, you are unreasonable..."
The fourteenth elder brother didn't finish his words, and the princes stopped talking one after another, but the fourteenth elder brother was not afraid at all, "Isn't that what my son said? All the subjects in the world think so. It was you who said it yourself in the Golden Luan Hall that day." Want to choose a prince, but now you have pulled out the deposed prince to get in the way, like you backtracking, where is the prestige of the court?"
Kangxi clutched his chest all at once, and reached for the purse with the other hand, which contained pills.
The eighth elder brother's eyes darkened, and he was eagerly looking forward to something.
The pain in Kangxi's heart became more and more serious, but he resisted his unwillingness to reveal the fact that he had a heart disease in front of his sons, but what he said broke the old man's way to the sky, "Yinhu, a traitor and a soft man The nature is presumptuous and ambitious, and cannot be entrusted to the foundation of the ancestors. It is also born of the slaves of Xinzheku, and has a high and sinister heart since childhood..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Brother Ba was trembling all over. This was a rejection of himself from the root.Fourteenth elder brother's eyeballs are already red. If the emperor scolded mynah, there would be no fluctuations in his heart, but if even Erniang scolded her too, then his inverse scales would really be touched.
The young and vigorous fourteenth elder brother couldn't help but directly retorted, "Would Xin Zheku be willing to have this son? Without you, could she have given birth to this son? Don't blame Erniang for all your sins. It is said that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, it is your upper beam that is not straight, so don’t blame him for the crooked lower beam.”
At this time, Kangxi was on the verge of collapse, his lips were purple, and his face was pale. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was wrong with him. The princes yelled at Fourteenth Brother to stop talking. Beauty, Erniang wouldn't have given birth to mynah, how could it be today if mynah hadn't been born? All the crimes are tied to you."
Kangxi became angry from embarrassment, enduring the severe pain in his heart, he drew the guard's sword and slashed at the fourteenth, all the princes shouted, the fifth and seventh hugged Kangxi's leg, the third hugged Kangxi's waist, Thirteen had already received the sword with his bare hands, and the fourth child quickly snatched the knife from Kangxi's hand.
The fifth child shouted, "He's lost his mind, don't be as knowledgeable as he is."
The third child also said: "Let's teach him a lesson later, and hand over the guilt to the clan's family. You can't kill him yourself."
Things like killing his son with his own hands will be heavily recorded in the history books, and Kangxi's first fame is completely gone.
Fifteen and Sixteen had already covered Fourteen's mouth, fearing that he would say something radical again, Kangxi looked at the faces of each son, rolled his eyes and passed out.
For a while, everyone hurriedly carried him to the bed. After the imperial doctor came, they complained incessantly. In today's situation, Kangxi's illness could no longer be concealed.
It's just that the eunuch downplayed the matter and said: "The emperor was so angry that his blood surged just now. After all, he is getting old. Don't make the emperor angry again."
After saying this, many people secretly made a few glances.
Kangxi didn't wake up until the afternoon, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Tian Mi sitting beside the bed.
"What time is it?"
"It's time to eat dinner. The imperial doctor has fooled my cousin's illness today, but these children are not stupid, so I guess they have already guessed it." After Tian Mi finished speaking, she stepped forward to help him sit up, and put a hand on his back. a pillow. "Take the medicine first, and talk about other things later."
Kangxi drank half a bowl of medicine, put down the medicine bowl and asked about Shisan's recent situation, "He caught the blade with one hand, how is that hand now?"
There was a lot of blood, but luckily my hand was fine and had been bandaged.
"This group of children! What they said is right. If you have more sons, you will be called for debt. I don't know how much we owed them in the previous life. In this life, I am not at peace."
Tian Mi also sighed, and looked outside the hall, "Concubine Liang and her son have been kneeling for a whole day, do you want to call them over?"
When talking about Concubine Liang, Kangxi couldn't help but think of Fourteen saying that he was greedy for Concubine Liang's beauty, "What? They still know to come here to plead guilty? Today that little bastard scolded me arrogantly. He tore it off and stepped on the ground a few times, and he wanted to expose the matter with a light apology? Let them continue to kneel, and don't kneel in the Qianqing Palace. Looking upset, go back and kneel. When will I calm down? When did you get him up?"
Soon some eunuchs went out to deliver the decree, and Kangxi went down absentmindedly and walked around a few times before starting to eat dinner.Tian Mi was picking up vegetables for him, when a court lady hurried in and whispered a few words in Tian Mi's ear.
Kangxi couldn't help asking: "Is there another moth somewhere?"
Tian Mi smiled, not sure whether to tell the story?From Tian Mi's point of view, Concubine Liang is really unlucky, and she is completely dragged down by these two sons.But it's okay not to say it, after all, everyone in the harem knows about this incident.
"It's just... Concubine Liang felt guilty after returning home, so she wanted to hang herself... Fortunately, the court ladies are alert, and they have been rescued at this time..."
These words were embellished by Tian Mi. The actual situation is that Concubine Liang feels that she has dragged her two sons down, and she wants to settle it after she dies.She did this with a bit of resentment, and at this juncture, Kangxi was absolutely angry.
Sure enough, as Tian Mi expected, Kangxi snorted coldly, "In this case, let her hang on the rope. Someone give her a white silk, remember to give her a ride."
When Tian Mi heard this, she quickly put down her chopsticks, "Let's forget about it. The family members cannot be involved in the affairs of the men outside. Anyway, Concubine Liang is dragged down by her son. Besides, the child, Ba, is not by her side either." Growing up, it's not like you don't know that old eight's daughter-in-law, she often shows her face to her mother-in-law. The relationship between the couple and Concubine Liang was not deep in the first place, and this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Liang. She has become like this now It's quite pitiful, so don't worry about her, let her fend for herself in the Yonghe Palace."
It is said that it will die on its own, but Concubine Liang still has a son, and the people in the palace will not treat her harshly.
There is one thing to say, Concubine Liang really has nothing to do with this matter, it is all because Kangxi was so angry that he blamed all the sins of his sons on the mother of the child.Speaking of which, as a father, he should be criticized even more. Concubine Liang used to have a low status and could not interfere with her son's upbringing, but Kangxi, as a father, could directly control her son's upbringing.
Kangxi also understood this truth, but he couldn't keep his face off, so he just snorted coldly and continued to eat.
As for Fourteen, Tian Mi asked Kangxi, "Brother Fourteen, why don't you go back and be locked up for a few months? He talked back to you today, and it was all for his mother, and he is also a filial child. After you fainted, he was busy and knelt outside, telling me to let it go. The empress dowager was quite shocked. What happened this morning made those old princes of the clan I was terrified, and now I’m all honest. I think this matter is settled like this, otherwise it will be a bloodbath if it gets involved.”
Kangxi shook his head, "You don't understand. In court affairs, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. This is doing things with your head up, definitely not you women. People think it's so easy. Don't worry about it. I'll be busy for a few more days. I don't have time to go to the harem. You can stabilize the harem. You can take care of the queen mother. The old man is too old to be frightened. , you go to her whenever you have anything to do, otherwise you and your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will move to live in the garden."
The more Kangxi thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea to place these female relatives in the garden. When the time came, there would be heavy guards, and no news would be able to get in.It is better to let them listen to the opera and drink tea inside than to be frightened outside.
"How about this, you will go back to live in the garden tomorrow, bring those jugglers, storytellers, and opera singers in, and have fun for a few days."
Tian Mi could only agree, but Sifujin was terrified by what happened outside.Not to mention her, the other Fujin are also like this. Although my men seem to be fine now, they are afraid that something will happen. Once something happens, it will be too late to deal with it.
Sifujin's advantage is that her mother-in-law is the queen in the palace, even if the outside world turns upside down, it will not affect the queen.
She quickly packed her children's things, and sent the children into the palace at dawn. In name, she was serving the empress, but in fact she was asking for shelter for the children.If it is said that if my men are unfortunately implicated, the whole family will be banned.It is better to let the children grow up with the mother than to be locked up at home with the mother.
When Tian Mi saw this group of children, she knew what Sifujin meant, so she sighed in her heart and kept them.
Moreover, all the princes' residences were watching each other, Si Fujin had just sent the children to the palace, Wu Fujin moved quickly and sent several of his own children to Concubine Yi.
San Fujin didn't even pack his things, he sent the children directly to the carriage, and when the concubines' carriages were driving out of the palace, he directly stuffed the carriage into the team leaving the palace and handed it to Concubine Rong.
Concubine Yi hurriedly hugged her grandchildren in her arms at this time, looked left and right, but did not see the children of Lao Jiu's family, and scolded Jiu Fujin in her heart.
Old Nine, this bastard got close to Eighth Brother in the early years, and if it was settled in the future, he would have to find trouble with Old Nine. At this time, Old Five's family can not send their children to the palace, but the children of Old Nine's family must be sent to the palace. The palace asked himself to take care of it.
The carriage traveled all the way and did not see Lao Jiu's family sending their children over. When Concubine Yi got out of the car, she scolded Lao Jiu's wife in front of her sister: "You idiot, does she think that she doesn't have a son and doesn't care about these children?" , if something happens to Lao Jiu, what can her daughter do? "
After finishing speaking, I couldn't help but add another sentence, "The one who should come will not come, and the one who shouldn't will will come."
The children of Lao Wu's family are not young anymore, the older one is more than ten years old, and the younger one is two or three years old. Hearing what the grandmother said, those who are already sensible can't help but turn pale.Listening to this means that my brothers and sisters should not come.
Seeing the faces of the children, Guo Guiren smiled wryly in his heart. He was really anxious, and he couldn't hold back his words in a hurry. "Good boy, my mother didn't say anything about you, hurry up and come in with us."
After Tian Mi came to Changchun Garden, she lost her understanding of the outside news.Kangxi was right in thinking, Changchun Garden was heavily guarded, there was no shortage of food, drink, and entertainment, but none of the outside news could get in.
Although the queen mother was coaxed happily by the concubines, she held Tian Mi's hand in private and asked, "Have you heard what happened on the outside? How are their father and son doing now? I dreamed yesterday that the emperor put The children were all killed."
"Don't say that. Who can live without their tongues touching their teeth? How can a family not be noisy. At that time, the father and son will talk about it, and they all say that dreams and reality are contradictory. Yes. The children will come to greet you in their entirety. The main reason is that you are always scaring yourself during this period. Let’s watch a few more scenes and be more happy. This matter is over."
"I'm not scaring myself, I'm just afraid!"
The old man sighed, recently he couldn't be as heartless as before. "I used to have a palace maid who told me that Lao Cai, a landlord in their village, had 800 mu of land in his house. Because of this 800 mu of land, the house was full of troubles. What's the fuss about mu land? I didn't expect this to happen in our house."
Then the old lady sighed, and Tian Mi tried her best to relieve her.Even singing and storytelling can't attract her attention. The old lady used to like to watch people somersaulting on the stage, but now she feels upset when she sees people doing somersaults.
Tian Mi found that these fun things could no longer make the old lady happy, so she mobilized the concubines and asked them to think of ways to make the old lady happy.
Concubine Liang sat listlessly among a group of concubines, extremely haggard.Her heart is more tormented than others. At most, others are worried about their sons, but those without sons live a relaxed and happy life.But Concubine Liang seemed to be able to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood as soon as she opened her eyes, and her two sons were lying in a pool of blood.
In just a few days, the whole person seemed to be ten years older, and there was a little white in the hair, and he no longer had the beauty of the first beauty in the harem.
The other princes couldn't come into the garden, and there was no news from outside, so Yang Dan could still come to visit occasionally.
Every time he came, he came and went in a hurry, and this kid was very strict with his mouth, he would not tell Tian Mi any news from outside the palace.
Every time he asked about it, he always said that Huang Ama didn't let him talk nonsense. "You also know that these women in the palace have broken mouths, and a brick in the palace can talk. If this is revealed to you today, the Kung Fu Garden will already know it in less than half a day. It's not that you are not strict at the corners of your mouth, but It would be good for you not to tell you. Anyway, every time my son comes here, he just wants to see how you and the queen mother are doing. Huang Ama cares more about you two."
Tian Mi still wanted to get some other news from him, "Did you kill someone?"
"I can tell you something quietly. The heads of the people who were killed at the entrance of the vegetable market are rolling, and the floor tiles inside are full of blood, and they can't be washed clean. There are a few unowned dogs waiting to eat the corpses. Come back, another group came... After all, nine batches of people have been detained in that place. Each batch has hundreds of people."
"Who are they all?"
"That's too much, most of them are officials and servants of the palace. Don't worry about it, you won't be able to sleep if you listen too much." Finally, he added, "Your female relatives still can't know about this kind of thing. , son, don't say so much, anyway, this kind of thing hurts peace."
On the night Tian Mi got the news, a group of eunuchs broke into Changchun Garden and came directly to Tian Mi.
The group of eunuchs respectfully knelt in front of Tian Mi, and held a scroll of bright yellow imperial edict to Tian Mi with both hands.
Tian Mi quickly opened it to take a look, the imperial decree told her not to take care of the affairs of Changchun Garden, and leave everything to these servants to handle.
At this moment, Tian Mi felt terrified, rolled up the imperial decree, and held it in her hands, "Although the emperor said that I don't need to care so much, the female family members in the palace are all noble, and you can't fight against them. You are old and have been frightened recently, if you act out of order and frighten the old lady, you can't bear it."
The leading eunuch was very young, and he responded humbly that he would not disturb the nobles in the palaces. They were all eunuchs of the Shenxing Division, and their purpose was to judge whether some court ladies and eunuchs in the palace had any connection with the eighth master.And they are only arresting people this night, and they will leave Changchun Garden after dawn.
Tian Mi nodded, and then the Changchun Garden started to run wild, except that the Queen Mother was a little quieter and did not disturb the Queen Mother who took away the two maids, but Tian Mi didn't have anyone taken away. From the concubine's place, several eunuchs and maids were more or less taken away.
In the middle of the night, all the concubines came to Tian Mi's yard to sit quietly. They heard that the group of eunuchs were only doing their hands in this night, so they all opened their eyes and waited until dawn.
Before midnight, this group of people had all been arrested according to the names on the list, came quietly, and quietly exited Changchun Garden.
From this day on, the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in Changchun Garden disappeared.The empress dowager and the big guys in front of her forced a smile, but in the corner where the empress dowager couldn't see, everyone was frowning.
The children and princes in Changchun Garden were also worried.By Tian Mi's side, Hong Yun is fine, he doesn't go anywhere, just recuperates in the house.Hongshi and Hongli ran around a few days ago, and thought it was a beautiful thing to play in the garden. They could play however they wanted without their parents’ control, but these days they were frightened by this incident and dared not go out. Yes, surrounded by Tian Mi all day long.
Concubine Liang was already ill, and she was under great pressure.After being sick, I don’t eat or drink, trying to make myself unable to get up again.She wanted to seek death, but she was afraid that the emperor would use her suicide as an excuse to embarrass her two sons. She could not die, and she would suffer while alive, and her life was very tormented.
Tian Mi was thinking in her heart, when will this kind of thing be big?The last time the eldest and second child were imprisoned, the palace was not cleaned like this.
At this time, Tian Mi felt that Lao Ba was really a disaster.
