[Qing] If you don't work hard, you will be forced to inherit the throne

The emperor suddenly sent Luan Yiwei to Chengqian Palace, which frightened Concubine Tong, and her first reaction was whether she had been framed?

The palace people of Chengqian Palace were also terrified. Back then, Concubine Ding quietly arranged a nanny next to His Highness the Crown Prince, but the emperor found out.

That's how Luan Yiwei rushed into Ding Concubine's palace aggressively and took everyone away.

During that period of time, the harem was filled with blood and rain, and every concubine did not dare to show her head, and shrank cautiously in her own palace.

Luan Yiwei's methods were swift and resolute, and everyone in the harem who still remembers what happened back then still has lingering fears.

Concubine Tong managed to maintain her composure, and politely asked Luan Yiwei with the support of the maid: "My lords came to search in the palace, but it was because of the emperor's order?"

The main seat in Chengqian Palace is Concubine Tong, and there are other concubines living there, among which the most worrying one is the pregnant concubine De.She had to ensure that she would not disturb the pregnant concubine and protect the safety of Chengqian Palace to the greatest extent.

The leader of Luan Yiwei told Concubine Tong: "The subordinates are here to search the house of the fourth elder brother under the order of the emperor."

Concubine Tong was taken aback, she didn't search anywhere else, she just stared at Brother Si's house?

"Your concubine, don't worry," Luan Yiwei said politely, "The elder brothers are making a fuss in the study, the emperor is angry, and the subordinates are just making a formality. Except for the fourth elder brother, the third elder brother and the eldest elder brother need to be careful." search."

So all elder brothers are treated equally, not only the four elder brothers.

Concubine Tong quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and personally brought the Luan guards to Yinzhen's room, and cooperated extremely.

The Luan guards asked the imperial concubine a few questions: "Is the fourth elder brother already able to write?"

"Which servant picked up the waste rice paper used on weekdays?"

"Did the fourth elder brother have any abnormal reactions recently?"

Concubine Tong Gui replied: My palace teaches Yinzhen some characters on weekdays, but most of the time the fourth elder brother goes out to play with His Highness the Crown Prince.

Luan Yiwei suddenly realized: it turned out that His Royal Highness the Prince taught the fourth elder brother to write.

Concubine Tong Gui said again: "All the rice paper that was torn up with waste was handed over to the eunuch Sansao to clean up together."

Luan Yiwei: "Which eunuch is it?"

Concubine Tong called the eunuch Sansao.

She pondered: "As for the abnormality, it may be that I miss His Royal Highness. Recently, he likes to hug his puppy and write letters to the third elder brother."

With the cooperation of the noble concubine, Luan Yiwei took into his hands all the clues that Yinzhen might have left in Chengqian Palace.

On the other hand, the Luanyi guards in Elder Brother's office were not as polite as the few people who came to Chengqian Palace. They searched almost every possible place in Elder Brother's office, and they even managed to help Yinti deliver news to Hui Hui. Concubine Hui's eunuchs found out the recipes they passed on and found the dining room of Yikun Palace in Concubine Hui's place.

With such a domineering investigation, all the clues were searched, which frightened Concubine Hui and Concubine Tong, and also aroused the speculation of the uninformed.

The gossip and rumors passed on in the harem have always been speculative, and the most common here are women who have nothing to do.Brother said they couldn't see it, but the surprise appearance of Luan Yiwei in Chengqian Palace and Yikun Palace is obvious to all.

The emperor even sent Luanyi guards to search the palaces of the noble concubines and concubines!

Did the imperial concubine and concubine Hui commit any crime?

At this moment, the news of the queen's death came again. How could it make things worse and make chaos even worse!

Concubine Tong was in a hurry by the beating, and the fourth elder brother who was raised by her side was detained by the emperor. She felt uneasy, worried and speculated, and was busy stabilizing the harem. Concubine Tong fell ill within two days of being busy.

The imperial concubine who was in charge of helping Kangxi manage the harem fell ill, which directly turned this messy situation into a pot of boiled and mushy things.

Kangxi had just left the three elder brothers with the strict task of copying ten large-character books, all of which were locked up in the elder brother's residence, and they were not allowed to go out until they had finished writing and reflected on their mistakes.Turning around, I was bloodied by the chaos in the harem. The previous court, Suo'etu, was away, and Nalan Mingzhu was dispatched abroad. I thought that no one would engage in party disputes, but I didn't expect that the two mountains of Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu would be suppressed. Uneasy about the status quo, more courtiers jumped out to "make trouble".

Kangxi: ...

There is a feeling of lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot.

In the past, it was because they were concerned about the confrontation between Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu, and they were afraid of being dragged into chaos and being affected. This time they are all absent, and it is a good time for newcomers to emerge!

Every day there was a quarrel over trivial matters. Dealing with these minor problems was more tiring than getting rid of Obai and San Francisco, and the emperor's temper became increasingly irritable.

At this time, Kangxi was grateful for the benefits of having Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu. With these two targets, at least the people below are safe!

The queen's funeral has to be held, and the imperial concubine's illness has to be greeted. The three elder brothers don't copy big characters, and they all go to mourn the dead queen and kneel down.

The emperor invited the empress dowager and the empress dowager to preside over the overall situation, temporarily settling down in the harem, and writing sacrificial rites in person, holding a grand funeral for the empress, allowing the Niu Gulu clan to be buried with honor, and ordering amnesty to calm the hearts of the people.

The situation in the previous dynasty was chaotic, without Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu, then promote another person.

The empress dowager asked Kangxi: The queen is dead, who does the emperor plan to appoint as the next queen?

Only the Empress Dowager could ask Kangxi this question without any scruples, and the old man also guessed that the emperor had no feelings for the Niu Colu family.

The empress dowager was born in the Horqin Grassland. The emperor's second empress died, leaving the place of the mother of the country. From the empress dowager's point of view, she hopes to produce another empress of Horqin.

Kangxi said: "There are endless battles in the harem because of the queen's position. I want to leave the queen's position vacant. All affairs in the harem will be handled by the noble concubine and the rest of the concubines."

The emperor's words directly blocked the old man's words. The emperor would rather hang the throne in vain than establish another queen. Even the empress dowager could hardly make him change his mind.

With no queen in the harem, Concubine Tong became the master of the harem with power in her hands, which directly affected the power of the Tong family in the previous dynasty.

The Empress Dowager sighed: It seems that after the Niu Colu family, the emperor intends to support his mother clan.

Tong Guowei, the minister of the interior, did not appear to have had any changes in his official position, but the number of interviews with saints has obviously increased.The emperor often summoned Tong Guowei to inquire about strategies, draw up imperial edicts, and discuss military affairs.

Tong Guowei's wife could also be summoned by the imperial concubine to come to the palace to see her daughter.

The wife of Tong Guowei, who was born in the Hershey family, hinted at Concubine Tong Gui: Your Majesty has been with the Emperor for these years, but the Emperor still thinks of you. Now that you are in his favor, why not take this opportunity to conceive the little prince as soon as possible, woman Once you have a son, your body will be strong, and you will have someone to rely on in the future.

Concubine Tong Gui said: "The empress has just mourned, and the emperor ordered the mourning to be held for three months. How can I do something right at this time?"

Mrs. Hesheli said: "Of course, it will happen after the mourning period."

She hinted to Concubine Tong Gui: If she can give birth to a prince, it is possible to become a queen with the status of a daughter!

Concubine Tong Gui couldn't help but smile bitterly.

As soon as the empress died, the emperor promoted the Tong family again, and was pushed to the front all of a sudden. The foundation of this turbulent place is not stable. The prosperity and decline of the family depends on the emperor's thoughts!

"I also ask my mother to tell my father and younger brother that the emperor gave our family dignity because he trusted us. We cannot live up to the precious trust. Only by being loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and doing our best for the emperor can we maintain the emperor's favor."

To be really strong, only the descendants of the family can maintain their prosperity, otherwise all the illusions of prosperity are temporary, and the emperor can give them honor and favor, and he can take them back at any time.

It is a formal occasion for court ladies to visit noble concubines, and there are court ladies, eunuchs, and nanny around them.

They are mother and daughter, and they can show intimacy under the watchful eyes of Chengqian Palace, calling you and me, and calling mother.

Concubine Tong is smart and agile, she knows what to say and what not to say, and also knows what to do and what not to do. What Kangxi loves is her thoughtfulness and understanding. At this time, she can only tell her mother vaguely, don't Fascinated by the prosperity in front of him, he only hoped that his father would serve the emperor faithfully and his younger brother would be successful.

In fact, she has been managing the affairs of the harem for the emperor for many years, so how could Concubine Tong not guess the emperor's intention?

Doesn't she want a baby?But she thought, will the emperor agree to give it?

Just like Niu Gulu's family, even if they become queens, it doesn't matter, once the family was honored by climbing up to Oboi, the emperor would write down how many mistakes they made when he wiped out Oboi.

The queen has no favor and no children, she intends to reach out her hand to the prince, but the emperor "cuts off her arm" directly!

Concubine Tong thought to herself: At least, the emperor still misses me and is willing to let me raise the fourth elder brother.

When the news of the queen's new funeral reached the imperial mausoleum, Yinfeng had already moved into the Xiaofang!

When he first entered the imperial mausoleum, Yinreng followed the aisle of the imperial mausoleum under the guidance of Suo'etu, and was the first to meet Chang Ning, Prince Gong who guarded Xiaoling Mausoleum for the former emperor.

Because Empress Hesheli was buried in Jingling Mausoleum next to Xiaoling Mausoleum, and the construction and design of the entire imperial mausoleum took Xiaoling Mausoleum of the former emperor as the core, forming a pattern surrounded by descendants.

His mother-in-law was lying in Jingling, and his Khan Ama would sleep in it a hundred years later.

At the entrance of Xiaoling, Suo'etu and Cao Zhen could no longer follow Yinfeng. He was led by Prince Gong, and first went to worship the emperor's grandfather, and then followed the filial piety at the edge of Xiaoling, all the way to Jingling.

When you arrive at Jingling, you have to kneel down and clean the tomb for Er Niang, recite the sacrificial rites, and burn incense. If you are more sincere, you will stay in Jingling and set up a room for the tomb guards to rest, and copy the scriptures for the deceased relatives. burn them together.

With the uncle leading him to pay homage, Yinfeng didn't panic at all, he just did what the uncle said.

When he finished copying the scriptures, he happened to burn the scriptures he had copied to Erniang on her birthday.

Once the June [-]th birthday is over, the most serious process of worship is over.

Prince Gong told Yinreeng again: "It's been six years since the late empress passed away, and His Highness the Crown Prince has just grown up. The emperor ordered His Highness the Crown Prince to serve the late Empress here for three months."

Yinfeng was not surprised that Prince Gong would keep him. He raised his head and looked at Prince Gong's bearded chin: "Uncle Huang, what rules does my nephew need to follow during his filial piety?"

It is precisely because of the big beard that Prince Gong's face looks very serious!

"Jingling is on the left peak of Changrui Mountain. His Royal Highness needs to be vegetarian, clean-hearted, and wear plain clothes when observing filial piety. The filial room prepared for you is halfway up the mountain on the left peak. Please don't speak loudly, so as not to disturb the peace on the peak. "

At the foot of Changrui Mountain, there will be Luanyi Guards and Imperial Forest Army guards, and those who serve the prince and those who accompany him will live in the Xiaofang halfway up the mountain.

Prince Gong said again: "During the period of filial piety, you can come outside the mausoleum of the empress every day to pay your respects, there are no other rules."

Yinfeng was ready to move, he really wanted to show Erniang the "little emperor's grandson"!

For this wish, he asked all the rules clearly: "Uncle Huang, is it true that no one can come except Gu?"

"That's not the case. Your Highness can bring suitable people to see your empress, as long as you keep quiet and don't speak loudly." Prince Gong thought he was asking for Suo Xiang when he heard the crown prince's straightforward question.

After all, Queen Hesheli has been dead for six years, and the funeral process has already gone through, and the rest is more casual, as long as there is no noise, no noise, no eating meat, and few desires, the other rules are not so strict.

With Prince Gong's words, Yinfeng felt relieved.

He lived in the filial piety room, joined Suo'etu, Cao Zhen, Xu Momo, Yuzhu and others, and changed into plain white clothes. From then on, besides studying, he went to pay his respects to Er Niang and copy scriptures every day. peaceful days.

The next day, Yinfeng called Xiaoyi and Seventeen to him, and told them seriously: "Today, Ama will take you to pay your respects to your mama, and let your mama see the baby that was hatched by the orphan himself. How pompous the geese can be, you must keep quiet and not croak."

The two little geese stretched their necks back and forth, as if they were responding to Yin Reng's words, and they stopped after they uttered a "quack".

Suo'etu was very surprised, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness is indeed taught by an immortal, even the geese you raise are so spiritual."

Yinreng glanced at the third grandpa, as if seeing Donald Duck's voice and smile on him again.

If Donald Duck is still there, Er Niang should also be shown her "Emperor's eldest grandson".

Yinfeng was bright and sad, and called Suo'etu together: "Can the third grandfather go with Gu to worship Erniang? You are also Erniang's relatives."

Suo'etu was startled, thinking that the one lying in the tomb was his brother's daughter, and his brother had died of illness for many years.

Suo'etu, who was no longer young, became emotional, and accepted Yinrong's invitation with a hoarse voice.

"Your Highness values ​​affection, and the old minister is truly lucky to have His Highness's care."

"The third grandpa will help Gu Gu hug Xiaoyi," Yinfeng hugged Shiqi in his arms, and told Cao Zhen to wait for him to go back obediently in the filial room, and they followed filial piety to the peak.

Suo'etu hugged the little goose in a daze, always feeling that something was wrong.

Prince Gong received the order of a fast horse from the capital and learned that the phoenix body of Empress Niu Gulu would be sent to Jingling by the funeral procession in three months. The place where the post-mausoleum was placed.

Seeing Suo'etu and the little crown prince approaching with a goose in their arms, he was stunned, hurried up to greet him, and asked in a low voice, "Is this a sacrifice from His Highness to honor the Empress? If you want to sacrifice, I'm afraid you must After the goose meat is cooked, the empress can 'enjoy' it."

Yinfeng blinked, and showed Prince Gong Shiqi, who already had the appearance of a little swan, and explained softly: "This is the son and daughter raised by my nephew. My nephew wants Erniang to see her grandson and granddaughter. Let the emperor's grandson and the emperor's granddaughter also sing sacrificial rites to Er Niang, and be filial to her, is that okay?"

"Is it not good for my nephew?" Yinfeng asked him cautiously: "Uncle Huang, is it because they are not human that you can't see their mama?"

Prince Gong told him that he was stunned, as if there really was no such rule.

He looked at Suo'etu again, and looked at him with reproachful eyes: His Royal Highness is ignorant, are you still ignorant, Suo'etu?Take the little goose, what if the geese's cry disturbs Qingjing?

He was surprised to find that even Suo'etu was holding a goose in his arms.

What His Royal Highness is holding is an elegant swan, but Suo'etu is holding a tacky big white goose!

Prince Gong's eyes immediately turned strange.

Suo'etu suddenly woke up, unable to get off the tiger.

Before, Prince Gong severely reprimanded, and later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince softly invited, with the big white goose in his arms quietly defecating...

Suo'etu was caught in a dilemma: should he disappoint His Royal Highness, or be impeached by Prince Gong?

He felt His Highness the Crown Prince tugging at the hem of his clothes, and when he looked down, Yinfeng was looking at him expectantly.

Yinfeng: It doesn't matter if you can't see it, the third grandpa can also go to see Erniang instead of the little goose.

Soetu got it wrong.

He thought His Highness meant "Third Grandfather is the best, please help Gu!"

So his heart turned violent, he spoke nonsense in a serious manner, and directly offended Prince Gong.

"Although they are geese, they are also 'children' hatched by His Highness himself. They will listen to His Highness's words and will not bark. Your Highness is interested, can the prince be more accommodating?"

Prince Gong: ...

The author has something to say: Prince Gong: Do you think I'm stupid?
