Yongzheng period

Miscellaneous, Yongzheng waited for three months until Concubine Hui's fetal position was stable before spreading the news, and then a large amount of rewards were sent to Changchun Palace, but the Empress Dowager's reaction to this was flat: the empress was still imprisoned in Kunning because of Concubine Hui Palace, even the New Year's Eve is absent, the Empress Dowager naturally has no good face towards Changchun Palace.

In the previous dynasty, the Tong family was also extremely unsatisfactory this year.Yongzheng once again denounced Longkodo at the Dachao Conference for being unaware of his ministers, and he still had no intention of repenting after being demoted and reprimanded.The Tong family was in a state of panic for a while, and they handed over one after another the greeting papers to the Palace of Compassion, but Yongzheng stopped them all.

Yongzheng watched Tong's jumping up and down with cold eyes, and then condemned him in the third "broken heart" decree. Who knows that I regard it as a virtue, but he has two minds, enlists power and accepts bribes, acts arrogantly, bullies others and rebels, how can I tolerate traitors? Xiangri Mingzhu and Suo'etu formed cliques for selfishness, the holy ancestor solved them Is it more credible to leave an important position idle? If Longkodo knows no fear, changes his past mistakes, and wants to be like a pearl, he must never do so! Kill."

As soon as the third edict was issued, the Empress Dowager couldn't bear it anymore and fainted again in the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Zhu Xi and the nobleman who was nearly eight months pregnant served overnight, and the Empress Dowager woke up at noon the next day.The empress who was also imprisoned in the Kunning Palace was unwilling to be silent, and Shangshu hoped that Yongzheng would allow her to go to serve the Empress Dowager, saying that "the ministers and concubines should do their best to respect and filial piety".And Long Kedo, who was far away in Alanshan, who was building a city and reclaiming land, was also very anxious when he heard the news that the Queen Mother was ill, and he kept writing papers to plead guilty, hoping to return to Beijing.

Yongzheng looked at Longkodo's high-sounding memorial, sneered in his heart and threw away his hand.However, the recent turmoil in the harem is difficult to stabilize, and there are three pregnant women. Yongzheng has scruples in his heart and slows down his methods in the previous court.

The situation in the court is mysterious, but Jia's mansion is decorated with lights and festoons, and it is full of joy.

Because the wind in the palace has been very loud recently, Yingchun didn't send the grand lady of the palace to come, but Liu'er did.

Liu'er is extremely clever, and gradually she is valued by playing chess. She is also very good at meeting people and talking, and she specially picks up the wife of the Sun family to hand over the gifts prepared for the Spring Festival to the waiter, and she is quite enthusiastic and said to Tanchun, "" My family and master miss our sisters very much on weekdays, and today, the third girl, you are overjoyed, so my young master sent a servant to express his affection."

Tanchun recalled those carefree days in the past, his eyes were red, and he said, "I'm sorry to worry about the master, I wonder if the second sister is doing well in the palace?"

Liu'er said, "Miss San, don't worry, everything is fine, master."

Seeing that the young mistress of the palace had sent someone here, the lady of the Sun family put away a lot of contempt for Tan Chunshu's family background, and seeing that the items added as gifts were extremely exquisite and rare, she showed an eager look on her face. She flattered Liu'er, "Don't worry, Miss, Madam won't suffer from marrying into our Sun residence."

Liu'er glanced at the woman lightly, and said indifferently, "I am talking to your master, how can there be any reason for a slave to interrupt? This is also the rule of your grandson's family."

When the woman heard the words, her face was rather embarrassing.It just so happened that it was time to dress up and change clothes, and Mrs. Wang sent Aunt Zhao to show her generosity.Seeing this, Tanchun asked Liu'er, "Miss, would you like to have a wedding banquet for my second sister?"

Liu'er said, "The palace rules are like this, the slaves are going back to the palace to report to the master." She then said politely to the woman, "I have to trouble Mommy to see me off."

The woman was flattered and hurriedly said, "It should be like this, it should be like this."

Without outsiders, Aunt Zhao picked up the comb on the side and looked at Tanchun in front of the bronze mirror in a bright and moving wedding dress. She couldn't help having a sore nose and said with tears, "When I leave this door today, the girl will belong to the Sun family." Mrs. Sun Shaozu is a rough man who practiced martial arts. Auntie knows that the girl is high-minded, so she might not see Uncle Sun's appearance. It's just that you are new here, so you have to endure the anger for a while. First grasp the uncle's mind, If there are servants who don't look down on you, you can plan for yourself in the future."

While listening to Aunt Zhao's rambling, Tanchun looked at the wrinkled hands that were combing her temples reflected in the bronze mirror in front of her, her eyes were unavoidable, and she said in a low voice, "Auntie, don't blame your daughter for her past. I don’t want to get close to my aunt and Huan’er—the daughter is a concubine after all, so don’t fight for anything, no matter whether it’s the wife or the family, no one will take a look at her.”

Aunt Zhao was so weak at this time, she said with tears, "Good girl! In the past, Auntie also made mistakes. I only hate that my wife pretended to be charitable, but pushed you into the fire pit!"

Aunt Zhao thought of Mrs. Wang's way of domineering and bossing Jia Huan, and she felt even more resentful.

Tanchun persuaded, "Auntie, please bear with me. After my daughter leaves, I will have no one to help. Auntie must not be tempted by others to compete with my wife. Brother Huan is still young, so you need to protect Huan'er. "

Seeing Aunt Zhao nodded in response, Tan Chunfang smiled, took out the box that she had prepared earlier and said, "This is what my daughter has accumulated over the years. Auntie is living a hard life, so these can help a little or two. Auntie should also be good to supervise Huan'er, even if you don't ask him to honor your ancestors, it's enough to understand the truth."

Aunt Zhao choked with sobs for a moment, she shook her hands and refused to pick it up.

Tanchun sighed, put the box in Aunt Zhao's arms, and said in a low voice, "What kind of corruption is the inside of Jia's mansion? My daughter knows best about helping Sister Feng with the housework a few days ago. Auntie uses these to do some small things outside. Buying and selling, keeping some capital, can be regarded as leaving a way out for yourself."

At this point, I heard the sound of gongs and cannons outside, and then Xi Niang rushed in happily with the waiter, and congratulated, "The good time has come, and the girl is still in love with her family!" The little maids who followed behind heard the words So they rushed up and rushed to cover the bride's head, laughing and making noise.

Finally, Tanchun took Aunt Zhao's hand, and said with a wry smile, "My daughter will not make it difficult for Auntie when she is outside. Auntie should take care of it." Then he was surrounded by a group of happy people, Aunt Zhao held her hand behind her. The wooden box stood there blankly, looking dazed.

Changchun Palace

Daiyu listened to Xueyan's talk about Tanchun's marriage to the Sun's family, but before she could make a sound for a while, she just said lightly, "The affairs of the Jia family are originally the affairs of outsiders. What can I do after hearing this?" "Master", she stopped asking, and now her whole heart is hanging on the emperor's heir, and she doesn't want to hurt her fetus because of these other things.

Now even though she is pregnant and can't go to bed, Yongzheng still runs diligently in Changchun Palace, but in order not to show that he, the emperor, favors one another, he often visits in Xinpin Palace. Because of this, I have never been there again, and I don't know how the empress dowager who made an exception at the time favored and arranged for the noble man to raise her fetus in the Palace of Compassion and Ning would feel in his heart.

And every time Yongzheng came here, he had to bring a lot of collections of poems and poems in the Four Books and Five Classics, saying that he should do a good job of "prenatal education", which made Daiyu very annoying. Once Yongzheng even brought books on the art of war, the emperor's mind , Daiyu couldn't help but disagree, even if this child was an elder brother, Daiyu didn't want him to be involved in the struggle for the succession of the throne.

Yongzheng knew Daiyu's thoughts in his heart, and he never pointed it out: most princes in history competed for the crown, and seldom came from the intention of their mothers and concubines.

Seeing that her mistress looked sleepy, Zijuan hurriedly went to settle down, and then quietly pulled Xueyan to the porch to bite her ears, and taught, "My mistress is pregnant now, it's an important day, we slaves should be more refined than before. That's right, why did you use the Jia family's affairs to disturb the empress!"

Xueyan also knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly said, "My good sister, I know how powerful it is, and there will be no next time."

Zijuan let her go after hearing this, and the two chatted and laughed for a while, until Daiyu woke up and called for someone, then hurried in to serve her.

At the beginning of April, the empress was imprisoned, and the empress dowager was ill again. The nobleman gave birth to the seventh elder brother safely in the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Yongzheng chose the name that the Ministry of Rites wanted: Hongjun.Afterwards, Lady Gong moved back to the Yanxi Palace where the concubine Xiang was in charge, but although she gave birth to her elder brother safely, she caught wind and cold after moving to the palace, and her body suffered a lot, making it difficult to conceive.Moreover, her status as a nobleman is there, and Yongzheng has not yet made a decree for promotion. Who will raise the seventh elder brother also makes people want to move.

Although the Empress Dowager was ill, she knew in her heart that she wanted to fight again for the Ulanara clan, but it was too late to make a move, but Yongzheng had already made a move.

In May of the fifth year of Yongzheng, Longkodo was imprisoned for the crimes of forming a party for private interests and hiding jade documents, and died in prison shortly thereafter, without having time to go to Beijing for trial.The eldest son Yue Xing'a was dismissed, the second son Yuzhu was sent to Heilongjiang, and his concubine Li Si'er and his children were all beheaded.More than half of Tong's family were dismissed from other provinces, and the once-popular "Tong Banchao" suddenly declined.

Before the Empress Dowager had time to be overwhelmed by the shock, Yongzheng reprimanded the Empress in front of all the servants in the Kunning Palace, "How can I be a queen because of my bad character?"

A moment later, Concubine Nian and Concubine Xiang, who had not asked about world affairs for a long time, entered Kunning Palace to ask Yongzheng. Soon, Yongzheng summoned Sun Zhiding and Xiao Chengzi, the commander of the guards who searched Kunning Palace that day and the tea eunuch of Kunning Palace.

The queen mother was restless.

The name of Kunning Palace comes from the original text of "Tao Te Ching": In the past, if one gets one, the sky can be cleared, the earth can be calmed, the gods can be spirited, the valleys can be filled, and all things can be born. Get one and think the world is chaste.

The Queen's Central Palace's bedroom is naturally magnificent, with a lattice door in the kitchen, a muddy gold Pilu cover, and elegant and gorgeous decoration.The glazed lamps in the four corners of the house are colorful and shining, but every time the queen is alone with the empty hall, she feels that the palace is cold, and Yongzheng comes back to warm it up.But Yongzheng is here tonight, and the concubine Nian is also here.
