every spring [comprehensive]

Kangxi was a little surprised: "How did the imperial grandmother know?" He looked at Aunt Su Mala who was following the Empress Dowager, and Aunt Su Mala lowered her head.

The Empress Dowager said: "You don't need to look at her, you have written river affairs, Jingfan, and water transportation in large characters and pasted them on the pillars of the Qianqing Palace. Not to mention me, other interested people probably already know about it. None of the court's civil and military officials want to withdraw the vassal, because it may cause national turmoil. How much pressure will you bear if you insist on doing so! Isn't it good for you to be flat? Now that we don't have that much national power, why can't we win steadily? Come step by step."

The Empress Dowager felt that young people were full of vigor and drive, but sometimes they were too impulsive.For example, about the incident with Oboi, she still has lingering fears when she thinks about it.The emperor's safety is related to all the people, if one mistake is made, the whole game will be lost!

Kangxi said: "Grandmother, this time I am on a tour to the south, I want to see with my own eyes the difference between the peaceful and prosperous times mentioned in the ministers' books and the real world. Now I have seen and heard it with my own eyes! The so-called peace of our Qing Dynasty is fundamental." It's just imagined! In the north, there are Raksha people burning and killing land; in the west, there is Galdan, who claims to be king without authorization; In the distance, one can only feel the flames of flames lingering on all sides, and the corners of the eight directions are sad and desolate. At this time of internal and external troubles, where does the word "Taiping" come from?"

The empress dowager sighed, and said: "These situations do exist, but the emperor needs to be calm and deal with them one by one. If you can't come up, just poke Wu Sangui's hornet's nest!"

Kangxi said: "It's not that I want to take him into action, but that the imperial court can no longer afford to support the San Francisco! They have already become a trend that cannot be lost. Everyone knows that there were no wars to fight decades ago. The military pay for San Francisco has been allotted until now. Cui’s military pay in Yunnan has been handed over one after another, but both Zhili and Shandong have suffered from drought, and now the imperial court can’t allocate money for disaster relief, but they have to use money to support them It’s too much for him alone.”

And is Wu Sangui a person short of money?He was very rich, and he used a lot of money to bribe officials of the court.

A governor like Mo Luo has to collect at least 10,000+ taels of silver from Wu Sangui a year. There are hundreds of officials in eighteen provinces, governors and soldiers in the imperial court, and there are more officials in Jingcheng. It seems that they are all properly managed by him. post.

If this continues, won't the country be corroded by him like a moth-eaten roof?

Kangxi talked with her, and the empress dowager did not agree with Kangxi's idea of ​​withdrawing from the feudal domain immediately, so they could only break up unhappy in the end.

The Empress Dowager was supported by Da Gege and Su Ma Lagu, and passed the Jiaotai Hall and Kunning Palace all the way, planning to go to the Imperial Garden for a change of mood.

Not far away, I saw that the imperial garden was not as peaceful as it used to be. Instead, it was very noisy. When I got closer, I saw a girl in a palace costume holding a bow and arrow, and fled in all directions. Several eunuchs shot out.

And those eunuchs wore deer, antelope or fox masks on their faces, as if imitating hunting.

The Empress Dowager was very surprised, how could there be such a murder in broad daylight in the palace.

Fortunately, what was shot was a wooden arrow, but the arrow was so powerful that the person who was hit by the arrow fell to the ground with a scream.

The other prey no longer ran away when they saw that someone was shot, but returned to their original place with joy and fear, and the girl who was shot cheered loudly and clapped her hands: "Great, I shot again! Ben Gege What an archery genius."

She bossed all the eunuchs who were standing there: "You dog slaves, run faster, and the slowest one will take an arrow from me! See if Ben Gege didn't shoot you bloody today! !” After speaking, he wanted to take out another bow and arrow and string it.

The Empress Dowager understood what was going on when she saw this, and shouted: "Stop!"

Caifeng Gege looked over arrogantly when she heard the sound: "Who dares to stop Ben Gege!"

She saw that the person on the opposite side was an old man wearing a robe similar to that of the Empress Dowager, and she also saw that Da Gege was supporting her, so she knew that this person's identity might not be easy to mess with.

He slowed down his tone, "You are?"

Everyone present, no matter the court ladies and eunuchs, Belegeg who was watching the fun in the imperial garden, or the eunuchs pretending to be prey, all knelt down when they saw the person coming: "See the empress dowager!"

Caifeng was dumbfounded: "Ah? Are you the Empress Dowager?"

Da Gege frowned slightly: "What are you doing in a daze? You can't be polite when you see the Empress Dowager!"

Caifeng quickly pretended to be obedient and stepped forward to salute: "Caifeng sees the Empress Dowager." But it was too late, her words and deeds just now exposed her true nature.

The Empress Dowager is the most majestic woman in the palace, and her gaze is naturally full of oppression. The Empress Dowager looked her over from head to toe unceremoniously: "Caifeng? I haven't heard of it, whose family are you?" ?”

In order to be popular in the palace and to show that the royal family has many children and grandchildren, the princes, counties, kings and other Gegebeile children will be brought into the palace to receive education together.

Therefore, some new children entering the palace may not be recognized by the empress dowager.The Empress Dowager thought that this naughty girl was spoiled by a Fujin family, and she ran to the palace to do her best.

When the Empress Dowager asked questions, all irrelevant people dared not make a sound. Therefore, although there were many people here, there was no sound at all, which could be said to be audible.

In other words, someone came to watch this domineering 'Caifeng Gege' hunt people with evil intentions, and what they were waiting for was the scene where she was taught to eat turtles.

Under such an atmosphere, Caifeng was also a little scared, and stammered: "I... I am from the Empress Dowager's Palace."

The empress dowager did not expect such an answer, so she turned to ask Da Gege: "Is what she said true? The empress dowager has always been kind to people, when did there be such a Gege with so many tricks in the palace?"

To say that she is kind to others is already a polite way of saying, but to put it bluntly, the current empress dowager can be called mediocre, and she has almost never had a sense of existence.

Da Gege said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, this is indeed the adopted daughter recognized by the Empress Dowager among the maids of honor. The emperor has named her Duoluogege."

The Empress Dowager was a little displeased when she heard the words, and said: "Royal blood, how can you confuse it at will! Even if you really recognize the adopted daughter, you have to teach the rules before releasing them. You didn't even learn the rules of answering, Just swaggering in the palace, how decent is this!"

Caifeng realized that when she answered the Empress Dowager's question just now, her words did not conform to the rules, so she hurriedly said: "As for the Empress Dowager, I have learned the rules before, but I forgot them in a moment of impatience."

The empress dowager didn't even look at her, she continued to walk forward, and didn't ask everyone to get up, but said to Da Gege beside her: "Let the empress dowager come over, I have something to ask her."

After Da Gege responded, he didn't do it right away, but looked at the face of the Empress Dowager, and took the opportunity to say: "Speaking of the most outrageous of Ge Ge, this color phoenix Ge Ge is just made in the palace, third sister It's even more different. She hasn't come back outside the palace until now. There is no reason why she hasn't returned to the palace when the emperor is back. Could it be that there are so charming eyes outside the palace that make people hesitate? Too late."

The Empress Dowager is of course very used to intrigue everywhere in the palace.It is not uncommon for sisters to be jealous of each other and exclude each other.

The Empress Dowager said calmly: "Jianning's situation is different. The emperor asked her to stay in Wutai Mountain temporarily to chant scriptures and pray for blessings. The two are completely different. You, a sister, don't confuse this."

Da Gege originally wanted to give San Gege eye drops, but after being educated by the Empress Dowager, he didn't dare to say anything.

After all, she is also her own granddaughter. The Empress Dowager never treats her grandchildren too harshly, so she calmed down and said, "Go and announce the decree."

Da Gege replied yes, and then walked towards Shou'an Palace.

After Da Gege left, the Empress Dowager complained to Aunt Su Mala: "This is still a golden branch and a jade leaf. She is the first eldest princess today. What is there to be dissatisfied with, but she still has to wear small shoes for others."

Aunt Su Mala said softly: "This is what the ancestors often said about the lack of people's hearts. San Gege has been valued by the emperor and the ancestors since he was a child. Although the other Gege doesn't talk about it, he is a little jealous in his heart. On this southern tour, the emperor only brought three princesses with him, and the other princesses are envious and jealous. But there is no malice between the sisters, so let's just say it."

The Empress Dowager looked at her fondly, and said, "We, Su Ma, are more considerate and more worry-free than them."

Kangxi didn't tell the Empress Dowager and Concubine Jing about Jianning being taken away, but just told them that Jianning chanted scriptures for him in Wutai Mountain.

After Shunzhi left the temple, he went straight to Wutai Mountain to become a monk. Others didn't know it, but the Empress Dowager knew it best, so she thought that Jianning was specially staying in front of Shunzhi to fulfill his filial piety. This was a matter between their father and son. The Empress Dowager naturally wouldn't intervene.

After the Empress Dowager of the Royal Garden left, Caifeng was extremely embarrassed under the half-hearted scrutiny of other people, her face was flushed, as if others were silently mocking her: The Empress Dowager obviously dismissed her!

It turns out that the most ruthless severance is not at all swearing at each other, but ignoring it directly.The Empress Dowager's attitude of ignoring people reminds Caifeng of the humiliation when she first entered the palace as a palace maid.

She planned to go back and have a good cry with the Queen Mother, never to see the Queen Mother again!It's a pity that her thoughts are a little too naive, and the difference in status and status dooms her to not being able to do whatever she wants in front of people with higher positions than her.

In fact, this Caifeng Gege is getting more and more courageous, because the empress dowager was not in the palace before, and the emperor went out to the palace to tour the south. Before leaving, he naturally handed over all the power in the palace to the empress dowager.

The queen dowager dotes on Caifeng very much, so naturally she can do everything according to her temperament.Therefore, during these days, the queen mother is the eldest in the palace, and Caifeng is the second.There is also a group of people who are flattering and flattering, making Caifeng, who is vain and cruel by nature, even worse. As a result, when the Empress Dowager returns to the palace, she just bumps into the muzzle of a gun before she can calm down.

Before the Empress Dowager left for Shengjing, she asked the Empress Dowager to move into her bedroom, the Compassionate Palace, in order to let her take care of the emperor, so that the Qianqing Palace would be too deserted. After all, the emperor had not yet married, so no construction harem.

However, in order to show respect to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager also lived in the side hall during the period of time in the Compassionate Ning Palace.Before the Empress Dowager came back, the Empress Dowager who received the news hurriedly vacated the Ci Ning Palace and moved back to her own Shou An Palace.

Compared with the Palace of Compassion and Peace, Shouan Palace is less than half the size of it, and its location is very far back. If you want to go to the Royal Garden to relax, you have to go around a lot. When Caifeng moved with the Queen Mother, she even sent a message Temper.

The Empress Dowager was summoned, and when she arrived at the Palace of Compassion, the Empress Dowager dismissed the idlers and said straight to the point: "Qiqige, where did you find such a wild girl, who wanted to pretend to be a fool, and even let the emperor call her Doro?" Gege, do you know how much mischief she is in the palace? When I see it, I don’t treat her as a slave, and when I can’t see it, I don’t know what injustice she has done!”
