Rong Fei is not honored

"I'm fine, just a little tired." Ji Nai leaned on Kangxi's shoulder and said weakly.

"If I had known this earlier, I would have let you move back later. Then, I could have used the excuse that the pregnancy was not stable enough to keep you for a few more months.

The baby is only half a month old, and you are going to tell anyone about it. It is better to keep it under my supervision so that I can be more at ease."

Ji Nai raised his head suddenly, "You don't want me to move back, do you?"

"Of course not. That would attract too much attention. You can't live in the Palace of Heavenly Purity for the rest of your life. I'm not that stupid." Kangxi, who was indeed somewhat tempted, said guiltily.

"That's good." Ji Nai leaned back again. She really had no strength left.

Kangxi, who was still a little entangled at first, finally made a decision at this time, "I plan to appoint a successor. The Empress Dowager is right. It is really a mess for the harem to be without a master.

But don't worry, I will choose carefully this time, and there won't be another one like Hesheli. "

Kangxi gave her some detailed instructions again, with the original intention of not wanting to make her worry, but when he saw Ji Nai's nonchalant look, Kangxi knew that Ji Nai didn't mind it at all. He sighed secretly and dropped the subject.

He didn't want to have a queen, not only because people's hearts are fickle, but also because he was worried that the person sitting on the throne would change his temperament, which would cause unrest in the harem. After all, the impact of a concubine doing evil and the queen doing evil would be very different.

Furthermore, Kangxi also had a hidden thought in his mind, which, although not yet formed, still influenced his decision.

But, after all, man proposes, God disposes. At the moment, it is indeed the case that establishing a queen can better solve the current problems.

However, in this way, Kangxi felt sorry for Ji Nai, and no longer thought about suppressing the power of Zhongcui Palace. Instead, he tried every means to compensate the other party.

He really wanted to make Ji Nai his consort immediately, but he was afraid that too much honor would turn into flattery, so he suppressed his thoughts.

......

During the morning court session, Kangxi, who was about to end the court session, just gave Liang Jiugong a look. Then a minister who did not understand the situation and did not know that Kangxi was already showing signs of fatigue walked out.

"I just received a piece of news a few days ago, saying that a concubine in the harem relied on the favor of His Majesty and acted recklessly. She even dared to take contraceptives, which made the Empress Dowager sick. She trampled on the dignity of the royal family like this, please punish her severely."

"What if it's not?"

The ministers below did not expect Kangxi to say this. They were stunned for a moment, and then said with great sorrow:

"Your Majesty, how can we allow such a demon concubine to continue to stay in the palace and cause chaos!"

Kangxi laughed in anger and said coldly: "Next, are you going to die admonishing others and want to remove the emperor's entourage?"

Several ministers who originally wanted to come out to support this man quietly withdrew their feet. Something was not right, so they decided to wait and see.

Soetu, who was standing at the front of the team, frowned. The Emperor's reaction was beyond his expectations.

"I have tried to cut off the connection channel at the palace gate several times to prevent collusion between the former dynasty and the harem, but it has never been effective. You are committing crimes against the wind, but you don't take me seriously!"

Suo Etu winked at the person next to him, who understood and walked out to retort: "Your Majesty, there is no trivial matter for His Majesty the Emperor. Your family affairs are also state affairs. Naturally, I, your subjects..."

"Shut up, you all know why!

A group of important ministers from the previous dynasty, who do not know how to share the country's worries, only know how to stare at my harem. How come? Do they think it looks good?

Do you want me to bring your affairs in the harem to the court and discuss them?"

The ministers below were all green-faced. Who doesn't have one or two shameful things? If the emperor and his ministers really talked about these things at the court meeting, it would really be...

Kangxi was still steadily delivering his message, "Oh, my dear concubines, there are only two people above the rank of concubine in the harem now, do you really think I don't know who you are targeting?

I am not dead yet! You are trying to influence the decision on the succession by using the matter of women and children. You deserve to die!"

Now everyone was really panicked. Indeed, she was just a concubine from a bannerman family. His Majesty did not want to make her the empress. She was not worthy of being targeted by this group of people. Their target had always been the princes under Ma Jia's family.

But, is His Majesty so angry today? Why did he even tear off the last layer of fig leaf?

"In the past, I was too lazy to bother with you, but I let you become even more outrageous! Anyone who dares to criticize the affairs of the harem will be charged with factional strife!"

Kangxi left angrily, but the moment he turned around, the anger on his face disappeared.

In the past, he was concerned with important matters and didn't want to get entangled in such trivial matters, which made some people really think that he was afraid.

The reason why Kangxi let the Hesheli family go was simply because they were just making small troubles and did not really tarnish the reputation of the Aisin-Gioro family. Moreover, he also wanted to use the same method to undermine the prestige of the Queen, but it was only a temporary measure.

Now, the Three Feudatories Rebellion is raging outside, and it is the time when the court needs to establish its authority. Kangxi will naturally take drastic measures. It just depends on who will be the first to step forward.

Kangxi was reviewing memorials in the imperial study when he heard Liang Jiugong report that the clan leader of the clan court and several princes wanted to see him. He was not surprised at all, because he was waiting for them.

Kangxi had just lost his temper in the court today, and even though these people were his uncles and brothers, they did not dare to offend him at this time.

In the end, they could only push out Prince Yu Fuquan, who was close to Kangxi.

Prince Yu Fuquan looked at his brother's half-smile and cursed the so-called elders in his heart. Finally, he smiled and said, "Your Highness..."

Kangxi did not embarrass them, but said: "I know why you are here. You are all from the Aixinjueluo clan. It is understandable that you care about my harem. However, it is a family matter after all, and it is not easy to talk about it in the court."

Kangxi's words expressed two meanings:

1. The court officials had no say in his affairs, but since several of them were descendants of the Aisin-Gioro clan, Kangxi did not mind their interference.

Second, since it is a family matter, don't always bring it up in the court. If there is really a problem, just come to the imperial study to ask for a private meeting.

His Majesty not only gave them face, but also distinguished them from other foreign ministers to show his closeness. Several princes were very satisfied with this result. In this way, they were naturally willing to consider things from Kangxi's perspective and believed that those foreign ministers were really hateful.

They only know how to keep an eye on His Majesty's harem and even try to interfere in the affairs of the crown prince. This world belongs to their Aisin-Gioro family, and this Qing Dynasty belongs to their Aisin-Gioro family. What qualifications do a group of slaves have to interfere?

(In the Qing Dynasty, except for the emperor, everyone was a slave, including the ministers and the empress, all of whom were slaves of the royal family.

But when I wrote this article, I felt that it was too unpleasant for ministers and concubines to call themselves slaves, so I changed it.)
