Yongzheng period

He was indifferent to the queen in the past, let alone now. "Song Zhi laughed and said, "As for Concubine Hui, I think the emperor favored her more because of her beauty and good family background.The empress is now a noble concubine, and she will be an imperial concubine in the future. She, a little concubine, cannot surpass the empress. "

"Imperial concubine?" Concubine Hua said casually, "There is also a queen on top of that." Then she seemed to think of something, and said dissatisfiedly, "It's just that Mrs. Hao is really weak, and I will help her arrange it." But when she saw Concubine Hui was favored, she withdrew again, the mud couldn't support the wall, no wonder she hadn't been favored for many years."

Just as he was talking, Zhou Ninghai came in and said, "I want to report to your empress, Imperial Physician Jiang has sent you a pulse for peace."

"pass."

"Whoo."

Jiang Cheng respectfully said after entering, "Wan An, Concubine Hua."

"Get up," Concubine Hua looked at him, "I'm going to be the doctor."

"It's a matter of humble duty," Jiang Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to check his pulse, and said after a long while, "Your Majesty is fine, everything is fine."

"Since it's all right, when will the fetus be gassy?" Concubine Hua said anxiously, "My concubine is almost six months old."

"Well," Jiang Cheng thought about his words, "My lady has suffered some injuries since she had a miscarriage four years ago, and she gradually recovered after careful treatment. The good news is just around the corner. During this period, my lady needs to take good care of her body."

This statement is half true and half false. Concubine Hua's body was damaged due to the use of Huan Yi Xiang in the middle of the year. In recent years, Yongzheng changed her incense and the imperial physician took good care of her. This gave her a little chance of giving birth. Pregnancy is also very easy to miscarriage.

All the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital who had taken the pulse of Yikun Palace knew that the imperial concubine's body was caused by being soaked in musk all the year round, and no one dared to say anything due to the hints from the empress dowager and empress.

Concubine Hua Gui knew that it was useless to be anxious, so she said, "Borrowing the imperial physician's auspicious words, I hope that heaven will obey people's wishes."

He was speechless for a while, and Jiang Cheng was about to retreat, when he saw Zhou Ninghai rushing in again, "My Majesty, Mrs. Fang has had a miscarriage, and the queen asked her to deal with it." [The palace affairs are still in the hands of Concubine Duanhua].

Yongshou Palace

Yongzheng and Daiyu saw Xue Chang kneeling on the ground in embarrassment at that time, nobleman Fang went up to beat her like crazy regardless of her body, the maids and eunuchs pulled her desperately, the queen and other concubines did not dare to step forward easily when seeing nobleman Fang like that.When Yongzheng saw this, his complexion sank immediately, and he scolded, "What are you doing! How decent! Pull them away!"

"Whoo!"

But I didn't want Mrs. Fang to see his eyes light up, and immediately rushed forward, "Your Majesty! You have to decide for the concubine and the lost child! It was that bitch Xue Zitao who killed the concubine!"

Yongzheng frowned at her disheveled hair, broke away from her and asked the queen directly, "Queen, what's going on."

"The imperial concubine is here—"

Concubine Hua hurried over to give her a blessing, "Your Majesty, Wan'an."

Yongzheng said in a deep tone, "I love my concubine without courtesy."

Concubine Hua glanced at Daiyu behind Yongzheng, snorted coldly in her heart, and then said worriedly, "I heard that Mrs. Fang had a miscarriage. I don't know—how is the situation?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Fang seemed to be stimulated, and scolded directly, "Bitch! Don't pretend to be a good person there! Don't you still wish that I would never give birth?! Hmph! There was someone in the palace before you. That thing can't be born in a lifetime—!"

"Shut up!" The queen was shocked when she heard the words, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Fang has gone crazy."

Concubine Hua's complexion also changed, she stared at Fang Guiren who was pinned on the ground and kept struggling, her voice was condensed, "Queen, don't worry, what does Fang Guiren mean by this? What is there in this palace?" Seeing Fang Guiren again Still gagged, he calmed down and looked at Yongzheng, "Your Majesty?"

Yongzheng silently stared at the queen who came forward to ask for instructions, and said for a while, "Take Fang Guiren and Xue Changzai to Kunning Palace, and I will interrogate myself with the queen."

The queen breathed a sigh of relief, but Concubine Hua still stared at Mrs. Fang with a dissatisfied face.Yongzheng stepped forward to hold her hand, and said softly, "Don't worry, my beloved concubine, I will give you an explanation." After hearing this, Concubine Hua's complexion improved.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Daiyu couldn't help but look away with inexplicable soreness in her eyes.

In the evening, news came out that Mrs. Fang was relegated to the cold palace because of the heartache of losing her son. It was also said that Xue Chang was thrown into the cold palace together with him for murdering the emperor's heir.Although Yongzheng and the empress tried their best to suppress the rumors, Mrs. Fang said in front of so many people that the imperial concubine was infertile because of the things in the palace, and was interrupted by the empress anxiously, which inevitably aroused people's imagination.

When it was time to go to bed, Yongzheng really turned over the sign of the imperial concubine.

Changchun Palace

Looking at Daiyu who was staring at the book in a daze, Zijuan couldn't help persuading, "My lord, the emperor has already gone to the imperial concubine's place tonight, go to bed early."

"I'm not because of this." Daiyu spread the book forward, sullen.

"Isn't it because the little lord has a heart for the emperor, seeing that the emperor treats the concubine well?" Zijuan joked.

"The emperor's treatment of the noble concubine is probably only half and half," Daiyu muttered to herself, and suddenly said, "Zijuan, what do you think the emperor's attitude towards me is?"

"The emperor has nothing to say about the young master, not to mention that the rewards are always the first in the palace, only a little worse than the noble concubine and the empress, and the layout of the palace, how can it not meet the young master's wishes? " Zijuan said seriously, "Although the young master said that his favor is not as good as that of the noble concubine, the emperor's affection for the young master is indeed incomparable to the noble concubine-doesn't this also mean that the emperor has the heart to protect the young master?"

Daiyu thought about it for a while and said relieved, "I think too much, Zijuan, go to sleep."

"Yes, my lord."

On the other side, Yongzheng tried his best to stabilize Concubine Hua, and was about to spend time with her during the Duke of Zhou. He heard that Su Peisheng came to report to Fifth Master, Master Zhang and Master Lin Jia to see him. temple.

"The ministers are waiting to see the emperor, the emperor is safe."

"Exemption, a seat, and tea."

"You entered the palace late at night because of Nian Gengyao?"

"Yes," Lao Wu took a step forward, "The ministers ordered by the Holy Majesty have already been arranged."

"In this way, we can close the net." Yongzheng finally got rid of the thorn in his heart, and looked at Lao Wudao, "The generals in Tibet have also been arranged? After all, Nian Gengyao has a reputation in the army."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry," the fifth child said very modestly, "If you want to talk about the public opinion in the army, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the ministers are still useful."

This is true, and Yongzheng instructed, "After all, the Northwest Army is different from other armies. After Nian Gengyao's death, the forces in the army will definitely be liquidated."

The old fifth knew it well, "I will tell the brothers on my behalf."——It's time to pull your hands together and cheat people together.

"So, let's go down later."

"Yes, I will take my leave."

Just now, the three of them had high emotional intelligence and thoughtfulness and didn't ask Yongzheng what he planned to do with the imperial concubine after he killed Nian Gengyao, but Yongzheng himself couldn't ignore this question and fell into deep thought.

For a moment, only the sound of candles exploding was heard in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After a while, Su Peisheng reminded softly, "Your Majesty, it's getting late at night."

Yongzheng came back to his senses and asked casually, "Is the imperial concubine still waiting?"

"Yes, I just came to ask again."

Yongzheng couldn't help being silent for a while, and said lightly, "Go back to Yikun Palace."

"Yes."

At the beginning of October, Qin Tianjian said that the auspicious auspicious sign of "the sun and the moon united, and the five stars united with pearls" appeared in the night sky. All the ministers came to the table to congratulate.However, the handwriting in the form was scribbled, and for a while, "morning work and evening work" was mistakenly written as "evening work and morning work".

Yongzheng seized this opportunity to make use of the topic, denouncing him as "relying on his own merits, it is easy to show disrespect", and said that he was "not a careless person, but he just wanted to attribute these four characters to my ears", so he was very respectful to him in Qinghai. Li's military exploits are "between my permission and my disallowance".

Immediately afterwards, Yongzheng replaced the officials in Sichuan and Shaanxi, transferred Yinsi to the two provinces, dismissed Nian Gengyao's confidant Hu Qiheng, governor of Gansu, and transferred Natai, acting governor of Sichuan, back to Beijing.The old ten was sent to the Northwest Army and the fifth was sent to Qinghai to take care of the Northwest Army.

A few days later, Longkodo, Lin Hai, Zhang Tingyu and several other ministers jointly impeached Nian Gengyao for his crimes of wanton extravagance, forming a party for personal gain, being domineering to his colleagues, and treating the monarch without the "courtesy of a minister".Yongzheng was so angry that he dismissed his post as governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and ordered him to hand over the seal of General Fuyuan, and was immediately transferred to General Hangzhou.

There was an uproar in front of the court.

Yikun Palace

Concubine Hua was walking back and forth anxiously in the palace, when she saw Zhou Ninghai coming in, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Have you heard the news?"

"Return, return to your empress," Zhou Ninghai lowered his head, not daring to look at the noble concubine's face, "Several ministers impeached General Nian this morning, and the emperor——, the emperor demoted General Nian to General Hangzhou."

"What!" Concubine Hua was taken aback when she heard the words, she slammed down on the chair, "How could this happen—?!" She asked again, "Why did the emperor annoy brother?!"

"The servant heard that the main thing is corruption: the emperor asked General Nian if he knew where Wei Zhiyao's hundreds of thousands of property came from, and said that he was a servant who made his master rich, and said--the general is, relying on the governor to seek personal gain, relying on the governor The subordinates are filling their own pockets." Zhou Ninghai's voice became lower and lower, "The emperor believed the notes written by those ministers and punished General Nian."

Concubine Hua Guifei couldn't help saying bitterly when she heard the words, "The emperor hates the word "greedy" the most, why are they so careless in doing things - they insist on making the emperor unhappy!"

Zhou Ninghai thought for a while and said, "I think that although the emperor rewarded the impeached person, he didn't condemn the general to death in the end, so there must be old feelings. Why don't you let the general go to the emperor to defend himself?"

"The auspicious incident a while ago
