Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

The emperor spares his life!

The emperor should be the most fearful creature in the world. In the era of the peak of power centralization, what a person says is the law, and everyone's life and death come from one person.As a person who can do whatever he wants, he certainly hopes to extend his current life indefinitely.

Even though he knows that people can't live forever, he still hopes that he can live longer than ordinary people, and reach the limit in the only life span of human beings.

Even though Tian Mi has heard the emperor say countless times that the prince is getting older and wants to let the prince learn to be independent, but he still holds the power firmly in his hands, and always regrets every time he says that the prince should be independent. Use "the prince is still young" and "I still have important things to do, the world cannot live without me" to persuade myself.

Due to various reasons, he is always a little afraid of inhuman power, and secretly yearns for it.If it is really compared, Kangxi is quite rational, knowing that it is impossible for him to surpass his predecessors to obtain eternal life.So hearing these things beyond my control at this time is more dread than yearning.

He lowered his head and asked Tian Mi, "What did my cousin see?"

Tian Mi shook her head. She felt that this matter must be man-made, but she couldn't find any evidence. "I smelled it, and the table has no smell. You can't see anything on the surface. Maybe those missionaries who came from the sunset will understand this kind of thing, or the Qintian Supervisor's Hospital should be able to tell the difference. It should be It's dyed...it reminds me of the kind of fake jade...but it's really hard to say."

Tian Mi felt that these things had something to do with chemistry.

Kangxi thought so too, he nodded, "Your cousin has worked hard, I'm going to summon the ministers..."

Before the emperor stood up, Concubine De's heart skipped a beat, and she wanted to say a few words, when she saw that the concubine was in a hurry, she plopped down and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, this is the arrival of the Bodhisattva, it is already a sin for us not to burn incense and bow down today. If you don’t believe it anymore, wouldn’t you offend the Bodhisattva?”

Tian Mi turned to look at the imperial concubine, "Are you serious about what you said?"

The imperial concubine didn't even look at Tian Mi, but looked at the emperor with tears on her face, and began to give examples endlessly, such as what kind of retribution a certain high-ranking official in ancient times did not respect the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and gave examples about who and who among the people Because of being disrespectful to the Buddha, I got a splitting headache... This example hasn't finished yet, her court lady has already kowtowed on the ground, begging the imperial concubine to stop talking. Didn't you see the expressions on the faces of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor? Has everything changed?Are you not a curse person?No one would be happy to hear such almost curse words.

The empress dowager listened silently, but the emperor didn't believe the examples she gave, "According to you, wouldn't it make the Buddha even more angry when the three martial arts destroyed the Buddha back then?"

Back then, there was no sky falling apart or floods covering Kyushu.

After all, the imperial concubine has been in the palace for so many years, and seeing Kangxi's tone and attitude, she was too frightened to speak anymore.She is timid by nature, and what she usually does is to protect herself. At this moment, she feels uneasy.

First, I wanted to invite this Bodhisattva to worship in my house, so as to bring good luck to my mother and son.The second is to get more favor from the emperor.As the Niu Gulu family often said, apart from the crown prince, among the princes, the tenth elder brother is the one with the highest status.And because of the birth of this elder brother, the brothers of Niu Gulu's family put aside their previous hatred and stopped mentioning it, but they wanted to pursue more things.

She couldn't tell what the emperor was thinking at the moment?Kneeling there, Nuonuo dared not speak.

Concubine De scolded the imperial concubine in her heart, thinking that this is too incompetent, and then she also knelt down after she raised her skirt.

"Your Majesty! This is a sign of auspiciousness. When the people outside hear that auspiciousness is in the royal family, they will naturally rejoice..." When she said this, her tone was very slow, and she looked at the Empress Dowager.A pair of eyes are particularly agile, as if to say: The royal family needs auspiciousness.

The empress dowager immediately understood what this meant, and looked at the emperor. The empress dowager was too old to take the initiative to take care of things. She only listened to the emperor on how to deal with this matter.

Concubine De also said, "If we don't build a temple to enshrine this Bodhisattva at that time, maybe some believers will come from all over the world. Besides visiting this Bodhisattva, they will also feel that the blessings of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager are shining all over the world. "

Concubine Yi felt the same way, and couldn't help but nodded beside her.Just nodding like this, the Empress Dowager felt that Concubine Hui was more stable than Concubine Yi, and it seemed that Concubine Hui had to follow her to go outside the Great Wall in autumn.

Tian Mi is still thinking hard at the moment, and feels that this method seems to have been seen before.The emperor's thoughts also drifted away, and he squinted his eyes to stare at the kneeling imperial concubine and concubine De.I have already figured out the cause and effect in my heart.

Concubine, she is just stupid.

Concubine De's picture is very big. This thing was found in her house. If it is announced to the world, the people will think that she is relatively lucky. At that time, she has accumulated a good reputation among the people. When worshiping this Bodhisattva, they will think of Concubine De .It might not be good if Concubine De is left there again and ignored.If you want to give her some rewards.For such a blessed person, can jewelry cloth be used away?

In order to appease the believers and to respond, even if Concubine De is unable to bear children, some children born to other low-ranking concubines should be entrusted to her to be raised.This time, all the benefits of her reputation fell into her hands. This is no longer a conspiracy that can be summed up. This is an upright conspiracy.

These behaviors once again made the emperor feel that these women in the harem should not be underestimated.

Thinking of this, he didn't follow Concubine De's words, and asked someone to bring the table over. Tian Mi was still thinking hard, until after the table was brought up, the emperor, the empress dowager, and his grandson gathered around the table and looked at it for a while. Circle, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but sigh.

Before the emperor expressed his intentions, she could not express any opinion on this matter.

Because Tian Mi had seen it, she didn't gather around to watch it.He covered his mouth with a round fan, and whispered to the emperor: "I always think it's dyed. The color of the wood is already heavy. When the time comes, it will be adjusted to brown paint, put on it with a mold, and paint every day. Maybe time will It will be like this after a long time. Otherwise, why didn’t those craftsmen find out when they made the table? But at this time..."

The emperor silently completed his sentence in his heart, "I found it after peeling off the paint."

Thinking of this, he lowered his head and called Li Dequan over, and asked him to take someone back to search Defei's bedroom.As a concubine, Concubine De was followed by people when she moved, sitting and lying down. If she really wanted to do something, it should be in the dead of night.

He beat the palm of his hand with the folding fan and stared at the table for a while, and asked someone to come over with a saw and saw the table open in front of everyone.

The eunuch sawed the table hard, and then sawed the piece of wood into small pieces.The imperial concubine wished she could faint at this moment, and everyone else was slowly calling Amitabha in their hearts.

Kangxi picked up these small pieces of wood and inspected them one by one. There were no grains inside, it was all due to the infiltration from the surface, and the infiltration places were of different depths.

In his heart, he had the same thought as Tian Mi, it was definitely someone secretly dyeing it.

Seeing this, Tian Mi couldn't help thinking of the time when she and her friends went to the flower market and saw a very beautiful blue wintersweet among the fresh cut flowers.At that time, Tian Mi was still thinking that there was no such thing as blue wintersweet.I can't help but ask others if this is dyed?The owner replied at the time that these are color-absorbing.It will be better than dyed. Dyed flowers have the risk of fading, but color-absorbing flowers will not have the embarrassing situation of exactly the same color.

After a while, the person who searched Defei's room came back and said that nothing suspicious was found inside.

After hearing this, Concubine De couldn't help shedding tears, and when others saw it, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief "quietly".It's completely like "I'm wronged but I won't say it".

The Empress Dowager suddenly remembered that Concubine Rong ran over a few days ago and cried that Concubine De was crazy, and there was always movement in the room at night.

Coincidentally, Concubine De's maid, Yugua, was also here, and the Empress Dowager ordered people to search for Concubine Rong's house.At the same time, someone escorted Concubine De's maid over.

"When the masters are resting at night, the slaves have to watch the night. This is the preparation. The master will ask for water at that time, and someone will cover it after kicking the quilt. Since you have arrived in the garden, who is watching the night at night?"

Yugua hurriedly knelt down, she always felt that Concubine De couldn't afford to make waves, so she was quite slack towards Concubine De, she usually put on a respectful appearance, but she didn't do many things in private Well, their court ladies are not willing to do things like night watch. For the past year, Concubine De has been alone at night.

At this time, the Empress Dowager was sitting on it, she dared not think wildly, let alone spread rumors and slander.He could only kowtow and beg for mercy.

The Empress Dowager whispered to the emperor that Concubine Rong came to find her a few days ago, and Concubine Rong said that Concubine De was crazy. Thinking of all the calculations before and after, the emperor was not only terrified.He felt his internal organs begin to stiffen.

There is a saying that is true, the most poisonous woman's heart!

Even if the situation at this time has shown that it is extremely unfavorable to Concubine De, Concubine De is still stable.In my heart, I was quickly thinking of a way to exonerate myself.I hope to reduce the loss to the extent that I can bear.

The emperor hasn't dealt with himself at this time, so he can't rush to give an explanation, otherwise the emperor will feel that he has a guilty conscience.

She thought of a way to get out in an instant. Even if the emperor said that he thought of targeting Concubine Rong... No one can testify what he did to Concubine Rong, and Concubine Rong also told everyone a few days ago that it was him. Have nightmares by yourself.

You can't blame yourself for this kind of thing. If you blame yourself, no one will feel that you are wronged without evidence.And this time the Bodhisattva picture appeared on the table, it has nothing to do with me, I am just the temporary owner of this table.

If it is really pursued... Anyone who comes in and out of his house is suspicious, especially the slaves who wipe the table every day, maybe they are the ones who did it!

Thinking of this, Concubine De thought about all her plans before and after, and felt that there must be no loopholes.

So I sat here with peace of mind, acting as if your affairs had nothing to do with me.
