The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Chapter 217 Determining Rewards and Punishments

Yinzhen went out early and came back late every day these days. Changning was pregnant and had a light sleep, so he was afraid of disturbing her, so he simply rested in the front yard to accompany his sons.

Honghui suddenly lost his biological mother and he always had nightmares. Yinzhen was afraid that something might happen to him, so he asked Hongyan to sleep with him while he himself stayed in the main hall next to him.

The two little brothers always talked to each other in whispers at night, and Yinzhen was pleased with their friendly relationship.

Before, there seemed to be an invisible barrier between the two brothers, just like him and Old Fourteen. But now Hongyan is always more patient and tolerant towards Honghui, willing to take care of this brother in everything, and Honghui also opens his heart vulnerablely, and the relationship between the two brothers is better than before.

Yinzhen couldn't help but think of his naughty younger brother Fourteen.

Although he is still a little out of tune now, fortunately he has improved a lot compared to before. Whether it was collecting arrears with me in the Ministry of Revenue or protecting the palace this time, he has made great contributions.

He decided that he had to show his appreciation this time, and would get up early tomorrow morning to pick out a handy bow and arrow from the storeroom. Fourteen loved these the most.

The next day, Yinzhen entered the palace, and the Ministry of Clan Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were preparing to handle the funeral ceremonies for the Fourth Lady and the Third Prince's concubine.

Although Changning was pregnant, she still tried her best to do the matter herself, and Honghui saw it all.

People around him said that once his mother died, Chun's mother would definitely take over, and she might not be very happy about that.

But what Honghui saw was that Chun'er Niang had a pure heart. The handwriting on the handwritten Buddhist scriptures was neat, and it was obvious that she had put a lot of effort into it.

She held her mother's funeral in a decent and dignified manner. Honghui felt sad, but he was not so gullible as to believe in other people's slander and instead blame Chun's mother.

He just feels guilty and blames himself.

If I had run a step faster, if I had not fallen, if I was not so weak, I would have been able to kill the enemies and protect my mother like my other brothers, then the result would definitely be different now.

Ama is right, the dead are gone, and the living should always remember them and live up to their expectations.

Honghui thought that he would avenge his mother and take good care of Ulanara on his mother's behalf.

As the funeral ceremonies in various mansions came to an end one after another, the emperor finally issued an imperial edict.

The first was Soetu, the mastermind of the treason, and his entire family was executed.

Kangxi finally gave the deposed crown prince a little face. Apart from this family, the rest of the Hesheli clan were not implicated at all.

As for the three princes who plotted treason, Kangxi did not take their lives, but ordered them to be imprisoned in the clan house for life, never to go out, and removed their yellow belts and demoted them to commoners.

The Eighth Lady and her family members were also released and sent back home, but their property was confiscated.

As for the other accomplices, all of their clans were punished without exception.

It is worth mentioning that Concubine Yi in the palace was also demoted to a commoner and sent to the cold palace.

The rest are Longkodo.

This man had placed a lot of his own people in the court, and this time he was involved in a large part of the conspiracy case. Kangxi no longer gave face to this cousin who was causing trouble everywhere, and directly punished him and executed him. Kangxi also dealt with Li Si'er, who was jumping up and down.

Until today, this rampant couple finally received the punishment they deserved and were beheaded at Caishikou.

I heard that on the day of the execution, many people who had been oppressed and deceived by them spontaneously formed a team and threw roasted vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at them. The executioner was almost injured by mistake. It can be seen that the people have suffered for a long time because of their evil deeds.

Anyone in the court who colluded with the rebels and was involved in treason was given a card of the Nine Clans Elimination Game.

It’s just that there is a reason why Soetu was previously called Suo Zhongtang, as he had many disciples.

As a result, many vacancies appeared in the court officials.

It was a good time for Yinzhen to place people in power.

Kangxi also promoted some people, but did not fill all the positions. Everyone knew clearly that these positions were reserved for the new emperor.

The punishment is over, and the reward comes next.

The first to bear the credit for saving the emperor were the Fucha family and the Ujumchin tribe of Mongolia.

Kangxi named Mengguqing the Prince of Ujumchin and rewarded them with a lot of food, enough for them to have a rich winter. He also opened up trade between the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia. This was handed over to Fuca Bodel's third son, Fuca Changxing.

As for the Fucha family, they had already become extremely wealthy.

Kangxi conferred the title of first-class duke on Bodel and let his eldest son, Fu Cha Changhua, inherit the title, and promoted Fu Cha Changhua to the position of second-rank vice minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Fu Cha Changrong followed Bodel to receive orders this time, made great contributions, and was promoted. He is now the second-rank commander of the Eight Banners Guard. This is an extremely important military position in charge of military forces, and only the emperor's close ministers, important ministers and favorites can hold it.

Changxing has been acting as the Minister of Revenue since the last time the Ministry of Revenue’s debt was exposed and the two ministers fell.

At this point, the Fucha family officially entered its heyday.

It was for this reason that Kangxi had not yet designated the Fourth Prince to succeed his wife.

The power of the Fucha family has become so huge that it has gradually replaced the three giants of Soetu, Mingzhu and Tong family to become a family with great power in the government.

If a concubine of this rank were to be suppressed by a legitimate wife, nothing would happen. Moreover, looking at the civil and military officials in the court, whose daughter could suppress them?

In terms of birth, favor, and offspring, no one can surpass Fu Cha Changning.

She is the only one who can be the successor to the throne.

But if she was really enthroned, Yinzhen's power would be unprecedentedly strong, even stronger than the Prince of Zhi and the Crown Prince at the time.

Kangxi had just dealt with his young and powerful son who was extremely threatening, so of course he was unwilling to personally deal with another one.

Although Kangxi had a good impression of her and liked his two grandsons, Hongyan and Hongzhao, even more, he had to consider this issue.

What's more, Yinzhen personally wrote a letter stating that he would not marry a new wife within a year.

Kangxi couldn't help but sigh, saying that Yinzhen was the one I loved the most.

The emperor being afraid that the prince would not remarry is completely different from the prince taking the initiative to ask for permission not to remarry.

With this letter, Kangxi's headache was mostly solved. So he was extremely generous and directly conferred the title of Prince on Yinzhen, with the title of Yong, Prince Yong.

Thirteenth and Fourteenth also made contributions this time, so Kangxi waved his hand and gave them two titles.

Thirteen is Beile, fourteen is... Beizi.

Fourteen is going to explode!

Why?! The Emperor is too partial!

They all made great contributions as guards, but why was the fourth brother a prince, the thirteenth brother a beile, and he only got a beizi?

Shame on you!

What a shame!

Fourteen felt that he was too shameless and was too ashamed to go out.

However, he was still so angry that he went straight to Yonghe Palace again.

As expected, Concubine De scolded him again.

After cursing, he became much more sober. Indeed, he and his fourth brother were brothers from the same mother, so it was impossible for both of them to be given high titles.

Forget it, I'll just consider it as giving in this time.

Fourteen thought that he had to get some good stuff from his fourth brother.
