Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

After finishing writing, put it in an envelope, Kangxi thought that Tian Mi would miss the fourth elder brother, and asked someone to ask, "Where is the fourth elder brother? Let him write a letter to report to the imperial concubine that he is safe."

The fourth elder brother was shivering from the cold a few days ago, but fortunately he was able to wrap himself in a quilt in the carriage.Now that I got out of the car, I don't know what to do.Even if I was prepared when I came here, I found out that there was too little preparation when I got to the place, and it was too cold here.

The third elder brother gave them advice, "I heard that it was the coldest year in ten years. I asked my maid to tear down my quilt and make a cotton jacket. Hurry up and let the slaves do this, or you will be covered in cold If you tremble, you lose your dignity."

The fourth elder brother thought the same way. As soon as he returned, he saw Xie Momo waiting for him with a thick padded jacket, "My elder brother is back, come and try it, this is sent by the Tong clan who stayed in Shengjing and made it." It is solid and does not hit the eyes, and the size of the slave looks just right, so please try it on."

When a family grows, not everyone can enjoy the glory of the family.Although some members of the Tong family went to Guannei, they came back to serve as officials not long after.

The Tong clan who brought the clothes this time is not of high status in Shengjing, and he is just an ordinary official of Fengtian Mansion.

The material of this dress is particularly solid, and the thick new cotton is fluffy and warm.In the house, a kang was fired and a charcoal basin was lit. Si elder brother felt a little hot after putting it on.

Mammy Xie quickly reached out and touched the fourth elder brother's hand. The fourth elder brother was already a big boy, so he couldn't help pulling his hand back, "It's not cold, don't move your hands, old man."

"How old is Elder Brother, this servant just wants to see if your hands and feet are still cold." Madam Xie thought it was nothing, and even thought this incident was very funny.Eunuch Chen's apprentice and son, Eunuch Chen frowned.

There are some things that cannot be said in person, so the little Eunuch Chen stood by with his arms folded. It happened that at this time the people from the imperial court came to send a letter, saying that they wanted the fourth elder brother to write a safe letter and send it to the capital.

The two eunuchs, Su Peisheng and Zhang Qilin, quickly spread the paper and rubbed the ink, and the little Eunuch Chen reminded Madam Xie, "Old sister, today is a bit out of order. We are all slaves, don't let the master annoy you before you regret it." .”

Grandma Xie felt aggrieved, and Eunuch Chen couldn't help but remind her, "We've been working together for so many years, and I advise my old sister to make the master more comfortable in the past few years. After all, there will be a mistress in the house in a few years." , the hostess has always kept a respectful distance from people like us, Elder Brother’s confidants, don’t you think so?”

They are not only elder brother's confidantes, but also the eyes of the empress in the palace. When Fujin marries, he has his own staff, so he really keeps these people at a respectful distance.

Xie Momo has already understood that if the time comes to annoy the master, a few taels of money will be sent away, and it will be as hard as heaven to see Elder Brother again.I dare not expect to have the same rights as the Cao family in Jiangnan, at least in the future, I can ask my elder brother if there is something in the family.Especially the imperial concubine in the palace is taking care of things, and it seems that she can take care of it for a while, and the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs still want to curry favor with the imperial concubine.If the imperial concubine gets angry, then the family will not have a good life in the future.

Except for these utilitarian reasons, Mammy Xie has been with the fourth elder brother for a long time, and there is one thing she dare not say in her heart. After serving for so many years, it is similar to taking care of a son. Looking at him so often From a little baby who couldn't even walk steadily to an adult now, I didn't expect that I wouldn't even see each other in the end.

She sighed, "Thank you."

In the room, the fourth elder brother has already written four or five sheets of paper quickly, writing down everything he saw on the road and what he experienced after coming to Fengtian.

Mammy Xie brought in a bowl of hot milk, "Brother, let's drink something to warm up first."

The fourth elder brother didn't want to drink it, but his brothers laughed at him for not being weaned when he drank it, but it was ordered by Er Niang. He frowned and took it up and drank it in one gulp, because the clothes were too thick, and now he found that he couldn't bend his arms.I wrote this very happy thing in the letter again.

In the next few days, these little guys accompanied the Empress Dowager around the old palace in Shengjing.

When the Empress Dowager saw these familiar buildings, she couldn't help recalling the past, and finally found that the younger generation was stunned, and she couldn't help feeling, "When people are old, they talk in a rambling manner."

A group of great-grandchildren followed behind, thinking that when I got married, I was with my aunt, and it didn't take long for my sister to come too.However, only the three bloodlines of Xuan Ye, Fu Quan and Chang Ning survived Horqin's marriage here.

Compared with those women who fought to the death and life back then, the Empress Dowager felt that this life was worth it.She supported Aunt Su Ma's hand, "I can be regarded as the last winner in this palace. Few of those people are still alive, and among these people, only my descendants live the best. That's enough."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but burst into tears, La Aunt Su Ma looked a little inappropriate.After all, she felt that there was something unlucky in the old lady's words.

However, the old lady didn't feel it herself, instead, she toured around here with great interest, and she didn't eat less at dinner, and she took the younger generation to prepare for the New Year happily.Aunt Su Ma observed it for a few days and felt relieved.

But the Empress Dowager seemed to have a premonition. One day when Kangxi went to pay her respects, she brought two brothers with her behind her. They were Fuquan, who dug tunnels to bury money and hidden weapons a while ago, and Chang Ning, who was sick.

Seeing the three grandchildren, the old lady first cared about Chang Ning, the youngest. Seeing that the grandson's health was not good, she was so worried that she wished she could get sick for him, and comforted Fuquan, who had no heirs.She was in a particularly good mood after seeing the current situation of these three grandchildren, but felt that it was not good enough.

After sending the other two grandsons away, the old lady grabbed Kangxi's hand, "Don't think too much about what I said today. I have wanted to say it in my heart for a long time. I have lived to this age and experienced so much. , from the grassland to Shengjing and then to the capital. I have endured the hardships, the sins, and the blessings. Since I married into your family, I have cried, laughed, and worried , I also feel powerless to go back to heaven. This life is much better than others, so if Changshengtian summons me to go back, I will be happy in my heart."

Hearing the old grandmother say such things, even though she is over 30 years old now, Kangxi couldn't help but burst into tears.

The old lady patted him on the back, "Don't cry, men don't shed tears lightly, not to mention you are the king of a country. Since ancient times, how can anyone live forever? I will have this day sooner or later. So take advantage of me Now that I can still walk, I will look around. While I can still eat, I will eat more. While I can still talk, and I am still awake at the moment, I will tell you what I will do in the future matter."

This is a bit like confessing his last words. Kangxi felt sad. He lost his father when he was young, and then lost his mother. He has been living with his grandmother until now. Is it possible that the old grandmother will also abandon herself?

"It has always been humble and not respectful. We were still in Shengjing when Emperor Taizong was buried, and we had already entered the customs when your ama was buried. So, when the time comes, I will be buried next to your ama, and there is no need to touch Emperor Taizong the mausoleum."

Kangxi wiped away his tears, "The grandson will serve you and Ama in the future."

The empress dowager reached out and patted him, "Life and death are not terrible, my grandson is wiser than his father and grandfather, and when he sees his ancestors in the future, he will be able to stand in front of them without shame." Peace can only be found in the embrace of the heavens. No matter who the people are, no matter how noble the blood is, they will eventually return to the embrace of the Changshengtian. Therefore, there is no need to follow the example of the previous emperors asking for pills and medicines. It is also the backbone of an emperor to die calmly. .”

"Grandson is at your command."

"I kept all the things I used to have. I followed Emperor Taizong, I followed you, Ama, and I have been with you for so many years. I have saved a lot of good things. A few days ago, I let Aunt Su Ma share all the points. If I Returning to the embrace of Changshengtian, you let people watch and give these things to the people who should give them. I have lived longer than other people of my generation at this age, and I can already laugh at most people. If at this time Die, you must not be uncomfortable, I am already happy and mourning."

The Empress Dowager had three daughters and one son in her life. The eldest daughter and the youngest daughter have passed away, and the son died early. Only Princess Attu, the daughter married to the Bahrain tribe, is still alive.

Kangxi heard that every word the old grandmother said was ominous, and he thought in his heart to invite Atu back to the capital to serve the old grandmother.

"There is a lot of wind and sand outside the pass, and my aunt is getting old. Why don't you live in the capital, so that you can pay your respects to the old man, and you can recuperate in the capital."

The old lady shook her head after hearing this, "No, she has a big family, and it's not a good thing for her to abandon a big family to go back and forth because of me. I'd better follow you and let your concubines serve me. "Speaking of this, I couldn't help laughing.The old lady was very kind when she smiled. He put his hand on Kangxi's forehead, "Do you feel sorry for those beauties of yours and don't want them to come to my old lady?"

"Look at what you said? It's their blessing to serve you." Kangxi also laughed cooperatively, and coaxed the old lady to talk for a while. After watching her lie down, Kangxi withdrew from the bedroom and put The whole face is hardened.

Although the imperial doctor swore that the old lady was still in good health, Kangxi had a vague thought in his heart that the old grandmother might really leave him.

In the evening, Kangxi set up a table of wine and called his brother over.After Chang Ning arrived, he started coughing as soon as he sat down. The eunuch patted his back from behind. Chang Ning covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, coughing quite painfully.

After Fuquan saw it, he couldn't help but exchanged glances with Kangxi. Kangxi asked someone to help Chang Ning go back to rest, and asked someone to take care of him carefully.

In order to comfort himself and Kangxi, Fuquan picked up the jug and poured Kangxi a glass first, "Chang Ning may not be able to stand the weather outside the customs, so he has been ill these days, and he will be fine when he returns to the capital in a few days."

Kangxi could only nod his head, and the two of them each held a wine glass and talked about the Empress Dowager.

Fuquan also sounded a little ominous, "Why don't we prepare this matter quietly first, and don't be in a hurry..."

Kangxi rationally felt that what his brother said was quite right, but he couldn't accept it emotionally. He was a person whose reason was stronger than emotion, and he nodded after drinking the wine in the glass. "Okay, I will write a letter to the imperial concubine right now, and let the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepare it."

After the two broke up, Kangxi wrote a letter overnight, wrote a thick stack and put it in an envelope, and asked someone to deliver it to the imperial concubine as quickly as possible.

And the fourth elder brother and his group of little brothers have already felt that the atmosphere in the old palace seems to be not very good.Even though the new year is coming soon, everywhere is decorated with joy, no matter Kangxi, Prince Yu or Prince Gong, there is no smile on their faces, but they keenly feel that something is wrong.

The others automatically retracted their necks, not daring to cause any trouble here.

The new year is coming in such an atmosphere. In the eyes of their brothers, perhaps the old lady who has not had much time at this time still feels old and strong. She is sitting in the not-so-tall and majestic palace in Shengjing, watching The house was full of children and grandchildren, and they looked at the prince sitting on the side.

"In a few years, the prince will marry a wife. I'm happy when I think about it."

The prince stood up and pretended to be calm, but it could be seen that the young boy was already shy.The old lady couldn't help teasing him, "Don't worry, I've prepared things for your wife, my wife, and I won't lose you two when the time comes."

Kangxi's heart moved, "Why don't you worry about him again and choose a good princess for him."

The old lady waved her hand, "Don't come to my old lady for this kind of thing, let him talk about this kind of thing, he feels good, the girl is okay, she can be the mother of the world, she is our daughter-in-law Son."

Then there was a big elder brother toasting, and the old lady happily drank a cup with a cup, and the topic was turned over and no longer talked about.

The ominous feeling in Kangxi's heart became more and more intense. When he suddenly looked at his elder brother Fuquan while drinking, the two brothers had already expected it in their hearts.

Kangxi sighed in his heart.

Because the emperor is not in the palace.This year's New Year is very tasteless.

After posting the Spring Festival couplets on New Year's Eve, everyone visited each other and broke up without saying a few words.After Tian Mi went back, she still complained to Qing Yu, "The emperor is not here, so who will show you how he is dressed up?"

On the same day, Tian Mi received a fast-tracked message from the Northeast.The emperor wrote it himself, a thick stack, Tian Mi thought to himself what is going on?Haven't you already sent the money over?Did something else happen again?

Holding the letter in her hand, Tian Mi checked the envelope over and over again, and then thought that if it was something important, it should be one or two thin sheets.Writing so much can be a family affair.

After opening the letter, Tian Mi was so surprised that she almost sat up. This letter was full of heartfelt words from the excitement.

Emperor Kangxi recalled being dependent on his old grandmother when he was eight years old, and he has been educating himself until now.There are quite a few touching things in it, and Tian Mi couldn't help but shed tears when she read the letter.The second half of the letter should emphasize that the internal affairs and government affairs should be acted quickly. Although it didn't say it clearly, Tian Mi could imagine that the old lady might be in a bad mood.

Tian Mi didn't know how she felt when she received such a letter, but because Tian Mi didn't know what happened to the old lady, she asked the eunuch to notify the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to enter the palace tomorrow.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, although ministers from outside did not enter the palace to pay homage, Fujin and some princess princesses from various palaces would also visit the palace.Before these female relatives came in, Tian Mi met the two Ministers of Internal Affairs.

"There is one important thing that you have to do now. You can't relax those ways of making money, and you can't let go of other places."

After hearing this, the two ministers knew that what was about to happen might be a big deal of spending money.

Tian Mi took a deep breath, "The emperor wrote a personal letter and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare it earlier. The empress dowager may be a bit unwell."

This is indeed a big event, one of the ministers of the House of Internal Affairs said that the House of Internal Affairs had already prepared a coffin for the Empress Dowager and her elderly.

Coffins, white cloth, these are small things.The point is, where is the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager?Could it be that his old man is going to be buried in Shengjing?

After this question was asked, Tian Mi, as a person who had never experienced such a major event as a funeral, knew that she had not received the most critical information.

"Don't worry about these things for now, you just need to find the things and the people. When the time comes, it must be available."

People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs dare to neglect other matters. They really dare not neglect such important matters as life and death.

After the two of them retreated, Tian Mi waited for the female relatives to come.After a day of perfunctory, Tian Mi finally came back wearing a full set of jewelry.

After I came back, I became restless, wondering if I was witnessing history.After all, the Empress Dowager has a famous title "Empress Xiaozhuangwen" in later generations, so she can be regarded as a witness to history.

This old lady whom I have always treated with care may really be dying.Tian Mi's mood became unpredictable at this moment.In the early days, Tian Mi was very afraid of being troubled by the old lady, but after getting along with her for a while, she found that the old lady was actually a nice person, and this old lady also knew herself, and she seldom cared about the affairs of the palace.She hid herself in the Compassionate Palace to enjoy herself.

Every time she intervened, it was entirely because her grandson asked her to come out of the mountain.Tian Mi couldn't help thinking about it in the future, if the fourth elder brother was really the emperor for 13 years like in history, then would he be able to live to the Qianlong Dynasty? worry about things.

Thinking of this, Tian Mi realized that she had already regarded this place as her home, not a haven of refuge, let alone a gift she got from Sister Tong.

Tian Mi told Herring next to her, "Tell the outside, just say that I'm going to visit the Bodhisattva for a while, and we'll talk about it in the afternoon if we have anything to do."

Tian Mi sincerely prayed for the old lady to let her live longer.So from the second day of the Lunar New Year, Tian Mi knelt in the Buddhist hall for half a day every day.People who are more devout than Tian Mi are the three Kangxi brothers.

Whether it is urging the imperial physician or using metaphysics, the three Eight Immortals cross the sea and each show their magical powers.The spirit of the old lady is getting shorter and shorter every day.

From the second day of the new year, the old lady felt a little tired and often fell asleep sitting up.On the tenth day of the lunar new year, I don't know if she didn't take good care of it at night, or if she caught the wind when she walked around in the morning and evening, the old lady started to sneeze, cough, and have a fever.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the year is over. The old lady's illness is better, but her energy is not good.Sleeping more and more during the day, the old lady already had a premonition.

So regardless of the fact that the ice on the road has not yet melted, the old lady urged Kangxi to go back early.

Kangxi also had the same meaning, and just about to get someone to prepare the frame.He escorted the old lady all the way back to the capital, but halfway through, the old lady began to fall asleep all day long, so Kangxi had to tell her daughter, Princess Atu, to come back quickly.

Attu rode his horse all the way and led the Mongols from the Bahrain tribe directly into the team.At this time, it was almost the capital city, the temperature was getting higher and higher, and the time for the old lady to be confused was getting longer and longer.Anyone can see that the old lady is dying.

And Tian Mi also received an accurate reply from Kangxi, who wanted to prepare a ten thousand year blessed land for the Empress Dowager next to the tomb of the first emperor.

Because the reminder was urgent, the officials of the Ministry of Industry took all the things prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and immediately went to the vicinity of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. After choosing a location, the construction began.

The matter of the old lady's illness could not be concealed anymore. Everyone in the palace knew about it and began to copy scriptures and make wishes.Sheng Jia came all the way to the capital without stopping and went directly into the palace. After carrying the old lady to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, the old lady gasped and opened her eyes to look at the children and grandchildren around her.

Seeing the familiar decorations around me made me feel better, "I'm back again! I'll feel at ease when I'm back."

Finally, under the care of her daughter Atu, she drank half a bowl of porridge and lay down to sleep.

The concubines in the palace and Fujin outside the palace have to start serving in shifts.

Tian Mi and Chang Ning's Fujin lined up together. The two of them, Tian Mi who was in poor health, and Prince Gong Fujin who needed to go back to take care of Chang Ning at night served during the day.The so-called serving is nothing more than bringing the medicine boiled by the maid and feeding it to the old lady.Talk to the old lady when she is awake.

Because of the passage of time, Tian Mi could smell the smell of corruption coming from the old lady. After having this smell, A Tu found a place and cried.

This is a complete collapse of the body, and it has reached the point of being powerless.

Kangxi has not recruited concubines in the harem for a while, and went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning for business, and even Tian Mi's Chengqian Palace has not been visited again.

On this day, Kangxi called Tian Mi out with an ugly face, "Is the thing prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs ready?"

Tian Mi nodded, "It's all ready."

"There is another thing, you send a few confidantes, don't tell them the truth, just let them go to Mount Wutai as quickly as possible to pick up someone."

Tian Mi looked at Kangxi in surprise. Could it be that you are addicted to acting? You clearly know that the monk in Wutai Mountain is a fiction, so why pay back?

"You have to sing a full set of operas. Jian Wang Yabu missed a few big fish last time, and the eunuch who led the team died. Now this news has been confirmed by them. If we don't cooperate at this time, how can they Not suspicious?"

Tian Mi was worried that she would send out some confidantes and wonder if she could come back.But Kangxi's order had to be carried out, so Tian Mi returned to Chengqian Palace with a sad face, and asked Eunuch Chen to discuss.

Unexpectedly, the old eunuch was willing to go there in person, "This is a fake story. If you give it to other brats, they will definitely miss it. When the servant was young, he followed his master to serve the late emperor. King Jian didn't know Where can I find Xibei goods, it may not be able to have the majesty of the emperor. The slave will follow along to mention it, and this matter will definitely make eight points out of ten."

Tian Mi didn't want him to go there, but felt that Eunuch Chen was right.After finding Kangxi, Kangxi nodded after hearing about it.

So Tian Mi watched quietly at night as Eunuch Chen kowtowed in the yard and went out.

The old lady in the palace couldn't bear it any longer. After Eunuch Chen had been away for more than ten days, the old lady suddenly woke up. It was afternoon, and Tian Mi and Prince Gong Fujin were sitting on a stool and whispering.

Seeing that the old lady woke up and was able to support her body to sit up, Princess Atu hurried to support her with great joy, yelling to let her eat more later, and then turned her head and asked someone to hurry to eat it. The emperor and princes invite them over.

Atu is a person with life experience, she has already seen that the old lady is exhausted at this time, and it is time to return to the light.

Some easy-to-digest food was served in the small kitchen of the Palace of Compassion, and Tian Mi and Prince Gong's Fujin hurriedly held it and handed it over.

Atu sat on the edge of the bed and fed it to the old lady spoon by spoon, and told a lot of jokes to make her laugh.Kangxi had already run in from the outside at this time, so he quickly relaxed his pace when he was in the courtyard.After taking a few deep breaths to calm down his breathing, he pretended to be very relaxed and came to the old lady's bedroom.

The elder brothers who were studying were also sent over, and the children and grandchildren gathered together. The old lady was very happy, she stretched out her hand and pulled the prince to her side, clapping his hand, although she didn't speak, but the meaning of expectation was clearly expressed.

Those elder brothers outside the palace, together with those inside the palace, more than a dozen boys stepped forward to kowtow one by one, followed by these little princesses inside and outside the palace.

After dark at night, the old lady's eyelids were a little heavy.When it was time to say something, she called the three Kangxi brothers to her and told them one by one.

Tell Chang Ning to take good care of his body, tell Fu Quan to take care of his younger brothers, and tell Kangxi to put state affairs first.Then the old lady closed her eyes surrounded by her children and grandchildren, and there was a burst of crying inside and outside the palace.

The capital was surrounded by the sound of the death knell, and in the midst of the bell, there was a carriage dripping with blood, followed by a group of tails hidden in the darkness, someone threw a token from the carriage onto the city wall, "Open the city gate! "

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd outside, the gate of the city opened, and the admiral of the Nine Gates ran out and kowtowed in the gate.

The entire Forbidden City is completely white, Tian Mi is going to act as the empress at this time, and she will cry with her wives.

After crying for three days, Tian Mi felt that her body couldn't take it anymore, and her complexion became sallow, but she had to persevere anyway, after all, the funeral had just begun.

While Tian Mi was resting, she turned her head and found Eunuch Chen standing behind her.Neither of them spoke. Tian Mi only needed to know that he had returned safely. After all, this taciturn old eunuch could always give herself a reassurance when she wavered.

Eunuch Chen is still standing here silently.

If Tian Mi said it was hard work here, then Kangxi is the one who is not afraid of hard work.Not only did he not go to court because of the death of the old lady, but he also insisted on keeping his filial piety according to ancient rituals.He wants to build a thatched hut next to the mourning hall, and eat and live in the hut.

Everyone was opposed to this matter. If something happened to his body, all the concubines in the palace would cry to death.Prince Yu and Prince Gong also disagreed, only the elder brother was eager to try, shouting that he was willing to accompany Huang Ama to guard here.

This made Kangxi's impression of him a little better, but as his uncle, Prince Yu felt that this eldest nephew was making trouble here.

Even if the brothers, concubines and children persuaded him, Kangxi was still unwilling to shake his determination.It really made people build a small thatched house next to the mourning hall. His sons, after looking down from the prince, their faces were all green.After Tian Mi heard about it, the first thing in her mind was to hurry up and prepare something for the fourth elder brother, and let him lie down with his father in the small grass shed to observe his filial piety.

At any rate, in the end, the ministers knelt down and tried hard to persuade them. Some of them had written a lot of articles and read them out at that time.From various aspects, he said that he was sorry for himself, his ancestors, and even more sorry for the people of the world.

The small thatched hut was not dismantled after it was built, but Kangxi also promised not to do so.This made the ladies in the palace breathe a sigh of relief.Especially for those who have sons, they feel a lot more relaxed, but they can't be seen by others when they are relieved.

Few people could understand the sour taste, and Tian Mi also discovered that few people were truly sad, except for the empress dowager's daughter Atu and the empress dowager, the emperor's brothers, everyone's sadness was superficial.

Because the acting skills are very high, I am worried that the emperor will know that everyone is not sincere when they cry for filial piety, so everyone is really crying when they cry, crying so hard that they can't get up, crying so much that they want to smash their heads on the coffin Follow the empress dowager.

Not long after, the Mongolian people came, and the Horqin people cried all the way to the coffin from outside the capital. This behavior made Kangxi's face look a lot better.

The remaining prestige of the empress dowager can still allow Horqin to run amok on the Mongolian grassland for a few years, but the time left for them is not long.Although Horqin has a queen mother in the palace, the performance of the queen mother is completely inferior to that of the queen mother.

So the people from the Horqin tribe were very anxious. After coming here for a few days, they gave gifts in private, hoping to make friends with the dignitaries in the capital.

Although Kangxi was devastated at this time, he was still in control of the capital. Because of the performance of Horqin's people at the funeral, Kangxi had a high regard for them, but because of their private actions, he smashed his glass angrily.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that the Empress Dowager is worthless. Hearing these people's demands to make friends with powerful people in private is nothing more than wanting to send noble girls into the palace.Kangxi passed it directly to Tian Mi, "In the future, all drafts will directly select people from Horqin."

At first, Tian Mi didn't know why Horqin's people made Kangxi so angry?Later, I heard Herring said that the people on the Horqin Grassland gave the Tong family a lot of generous gifts to make friends with her.

"Although our master and several masters usually do things unreliably, they are indeed very firm in this matter. They didn't accept the gift at the first time, and they didn't let anyone in when they came again later."

Herring's tone is very relaxed. If you taste it carefully, Tian Mi can feel a little bit of relief from it. Thinking about it, Herring also feels that this group of young and old men finally stopped causing trouble, and they have done a right thing. .

In fact, it was the bastard Erlun Dai who looked down on Horqin.In his view, the emperor is our Tong family's nephew, Lao Tzu's real cousin.In the end, because your family intervened, they became your nephews and cousins ​​in terms of etiquette.

Back then when the Empress Dowager was still alive, it was nothing. Now that the old lady is gone, do you still want to show off in front of us?

Tong Guowei was so annoyed by this nephew's thoughts that he vomited blood. Last fall, when the imperial concubine celebrated her birthday, the young and old members of the Tong family happily took the whole family's female relatives to celebrate her birthday.As a result, Tong Guowei still listened to his daughter's reprimand in front of the screen at such an old age.

At that time, Tong Guowei was very wronged. The incident of the brats fighting and interrupting others had already been done before I knew it. I knew that the Empress already knew about it.

At that time, Orondai stalked his neck, "The slave didn't think so much when he was angry."

He is not afraid of anything, he is still the patriarch of the Tong family, yes, his father is dead, and as the eldest son, he is the patriarch of the family.

Tong Guowei still remembers that when he was standing, his son and nephew were kneeling, the daughter behind the screen and the nephew in front of the screen roared at each other through the screen, and he also remembered that the emperor glanced back and forth at the Tong family. up.

Could it be that, as the emperor said, all the aura of the Tong family is on the girl?

Tong Guowei could only pick up these nephews and sons.Orondai Hun, Kua Daihan, Korondo looks okay now, he may be his son, when he looks at him, he has a feeling that a hedgehog sees his son without thorns.As for the rest, his eldest son and second son are both bastards, and the Erundai brothers are a bit of a jerk, not to mention bastards, even Fa Hai can't compare to them.

Tong Guowei felt uncomfortable when he came back from crying in the palace, and felt like he had no successors in his family.

Sons and nephews are not suitable for use, so he quickly picked up his grandsons and nephews.Not to mention far away, just look at these children who have no aura in reading, and they are not willing to use their strength to practice martial arts.Is it true that one generation is not as good as one generation?

Just when he was having a headache, Horqin's messenger came to the door again.Tong Guowei didn't dare to let them in anymore. That bastard Orondai was the patriarch, and if the patriarch disagreed, no one else could object.So Tong Guowei directly said that he was not at home, and he didn't even let people in.

Because of Erlundai's bastard operation, Kangxi still has some good feelings for these cousins.In his heart, he felt that they still didn't want to have a heart after suffering and suffering. In his eyes, they were pure ministers.In order to better protect them, and to let Horqin know some color, Kangxi directly called Tong Guowei his uncle at the funeral.

In the past, it was only called out in private, but now it is said publicly, which immediately aroused discussions among the government and the opposition.

Together with these concubines of Mongolian origin and Fujin from various Mongolian tribes who came to mourn, when they looked at Tian Mi, their eyes were a little different.Tian Mi didn't take these people seriously at all. At this moment, she was trying to find a way to relax herself during the whole funeral process.

Tian Mi plays an exemplary role, crying when it is time to cry, and leading wives inside and outside to worship when it is time to worship.

Just kowtowing every day makes her feel dizzy. After more than 20 days of support, Tian Mi has lost a few kilograms and her complexion is particularly unsightly.

The fourth elder brother felt sorry for Tian Mi, even if he felt sorry, there was nothing he could do about it. Tian Mi was stared at by so many people, and she couldn't even be lazy when she knelt down.

So when the mother and son got together in private at night, Tian Mi couldn't help but say to her son: "After enjoying so many blessings, there will always be a time to suffer, and what I'm suffering now is that they will suffer as much as they want." No way. If you don’t believe me, go ask and see if Concubine Yi and the others are willing to lead the wives to cry for the ancestors for me.”

"Even so, you have lost too much weight in this period of time, and you have eaten very little in this period of time..."

Tian Mi touched his little face, "Don't worry, Er Niang has already endured half of the day, and there is still half left. You just need to take care of yourself. Think about it, Er Niang has been suffering for a long time these days. You have to worry about the affairs in the palace, you also have to worry about your affairs, and you have to worry about the funeral. If you are well, Er Niang will be gone."

The fourth elder brother may have a little fear of death from a grand funeral.He couldn't help but took Tian Mi's hand, "Emiang, my son wishes you a long life."

And I thought quietly in my heart, even if I walked in front of my mother
