Chapter 190
190. After the Mist
In Kangxi's bedroom, he heard any news immediately.Cao Yin was reprimanded for [-] years, and his salary was fined for one year, which was lightly removed. On the contrary, Suo Etu was cut off from all the positions of Xianghuang Banner Zuoling, Baohuadian University Bachelor, Prince Taibao, Luan Yiwei, etc. He became a common man, and was locked up, and was about to be transported back to the capital in a prison car to plead guilty.In this way, Wen Xi couldn't help wondering whether the assassination of the traitor had anything to do with Suo'etu?Kangxi was so merciless.It's just that the complexity of politics is beyond what a gentle mind can figure out.
"Uncle, this matter...is it really you..." A few days before Suo'etu was escorted, Yinfeng still couldn't help asking.
Suo'etu was surprisingly calm. He was in the prison, wearing a green-brown robe, holding a volume of history books in his hand. The treatment in the prison was not bad, it was clean and sunny, and he even gave refreshments. He didn't have any food or clothing. Abuse, not like a person in prison.
Yinfeng was in a hurry, he kicked open the prison door, and hurriedly said: "Uncle!!"
Then Suo'etu put down the scroll leisurely, got up and was about to perform the standard royal ceremony.Yinfeng hurried to help, with an anxious expression on his face: "Uncle, what time is this! Don't stick to these vain rituals!"
"The etiquette cannot be discarded!" Suo'etu only said this, pushed aside the prince's support, and went to complete the unfinished etiquette.
Kowtowing slowly, Suo'etu sighed, "Prince, I can't help you anymore!" Suo'etu, the uncle of Queen Hesheli, the son of Sony, the head of the four ministers, ruled the two dynasties, The peak moment suddenly fell to the bottom, thanks to him being able to deal with it indifferently.Veterans of these politics.None of them are simple things, perhaps one day, it is also within his expectation.
"Uncle! What the hell is going on? Why did Huang Ama knock you into the dust without evidence?!" Yinfeng's tone was full of resentment and doubt.
Then Suo'etu got up, brushed off the grass clippings on his sleeves, and said calmly, "The emperor suddenly made such a move, and the servant was very surprised at first. But after thinking about it carefully, although it is not big I know the reason why the emperor did this, but I can also guess who did it."
"Who?!" Yinfeng asked hastily.There was resentment in the tone, "Is it Yinyi?!"
Suo'etu shook his head and said with a smile, "Where does he have that ability?"
"Who the hell is that?!" Yinfeng stomped his feet and asked hastily.
Suo'etu laughed and said: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's not difficult to infer that the rebels actually sneaked into the palace. It's really unbelievable. Although the slaves have the post of Luan Yiwei, the garrison force in front of the imperial court is absolutely out of reach. Since the emperor came to Jiangning , it is Cao Yin who is responsible for the safety of the driver."
Immediately, Suo'etu changed the subject and said: "Naturally, Cao Yin is obviously impossible to do such a rebellious thing. He is the emperor's most loyal servant. Naturally, slaves must obey the master's orders!"
Yinfeng was stunned. "Could it be Huang Ama—"
Suo'etu also showed a little puzzled, and said quietly: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. The emperor wants to ask for the life of a certain person. Why bother? There must be other purposes. Dealing with slaves is probably only secondary. "
Yinfeng suddenly thought of going to pay his respects yesterday.But what he smelled was not the ambergris that Huang Ama could use, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle, there is an extra woman beside Huang Ama!"
Suo'etu waved his hand, "You don't need to pay attention to these irrelevant things."
"It's not a trivial matter! Even Huang Ama's bedroom has been replaced with Luhexiang!" Yinfeng said hastily.
Suo'etu was startled, and murmured while thinking: "The emperor has always used ambergris, and he has been used to it for many years, but suddenly changed... Luhexiang, this is a spice commonly used by women... It's broken! Yes! The imperial concubine is back!"
"Isn't she in Changping?!" Yinfeng asked puzzled.
Suo'etu slapped the table with a slap, and said in a low voice: "The emperor has been covering up her matter! We can't find any news! But, the prince needs to remember, she will threaten you status!"
"Her?" Yinfeng couldn't help showing disdain, and said with thin sarcasm, "Is a woman capable of this? What's more, Huang Ama left her in the palace for more than three years, I'm afraid she has long since hated her." !"
Suo'etu shook his head with a dignified expression: "If you really hate it, why do you add the honor of the imperial concubine?! The imperial concubine is the same as the deputy queen, but only one step away from the latter! If she enters the main palace one day, if With another heir, the crown prince's status will be in jeopardy!"
Yinfeng panicked immediately, "Uncle, Huang Ama won't abolish me! No way!" He said no, but he was extremely scared in his heart.He is only superior to other brothers by relying on his status as a legitimate son. If Huang Ama has another legitimate son, then his status will naturally be shaken!
Suo'etu sighed for a long time, and said: "The emperor didn't reveal her return, and the prince will pretend not to know. If he sees her in the future, he must be respectful and not have any superficial conflicts with her. conflict! If she has no children to raise, the crown prince will respect her for the rest of his life!"
Yinfeng nodded hastily, "That's right! Uncle, she fell into the water when she was in Mulan, so she won't be able to give birth anyway!"
Suo'etu shook his head, "She has already given birth to the sixth princess. She must be in good health... I can only hope that she will have no children. That would be the best. If she gives birth to a royal heir in the future, the crown prince must give birth to her." Do everything you can to get rid of it!"
Yinfeng couldn't help showing distressed expression: "Where can I get in front of Huang Ama?"
Suo'etu patted the back of Yinrong's hand, and comforted him: "Don't worry, she will return to the palace! There are always opportunities. But, before that, the prince needs to do two things!"
Yinfeng nodded hurriedly: "Uncle, please tell me!"
"The first is 'filial piety'. Be filial to the emperor, and you must not let the emperor be dissatisfied with you anymore! You must be filial to the queen mother, and you must be calm every day and night, so as to win the favor of the queen mother!"
"Second, it's 'friends', try to be friendly with brothers, don't conflict with the elder brother, and win over the elder brothers who have not grown up! Especially the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother, the fourth elder brother is Tonghuang Guifei Your adopted son and fifth elder brother are the princes raised under the empress dowager's knees. The other ones are all secondary. You must not let the emperor think that your virtue is at fault! As long as the prince has no faults, even the emperor has no reason to depose him! Let alone empress benevolence and filial piety With love, the emperor will not easily waste his reserve!"
After earnestly teaching everything, Suo'etu should also be escorted back to Beijing.
study.
Liang Jiugong presented a Western telescope and said, "This is returned to the emperor by Mr. Cao Yin."
Kangxi hummed, and said: "Cao Yin, you did a good job, tell him: I will write down the credit for him this time." Kangxi couldn't help touching the wound on his shoulder that was almost healed. The medicine really worked wonders, and the scabs formed so quickly.
When the rebels attacked that day, it was indeed the cooperation of the inside and the outside to bring people in.But it was indeed arranged by Cao Yin, the west window of Kangxi's study was open, as long as there was this thing, he could naturally observe every move clearly.There was a smile on the corner of Kangxi's mouth, and she almost closed the window. You must know that closing the window means canceling, and pushing the memorial all over the floor means action. Although it was delayed a little, it still went on as usual.Ever since Wen Xi entered Kangxi's study, Kangxi dismissed all the eunuchs serving in the study, which meant to tell Cao Yin to get ready.
"There is also Xiaozi..." The little eunuch who wanted to stab Wen Xi, but was blocked by Kangxi, "Place his family far away."
"Slave understands!" Liang Jiugong hurriedly said, he arranged for Xiaozi, a loyal and loyal person who has never met the imperial concubine.Naturally, I can only order him to stab the woman next to the emperor. If he knows that he will stab the emperor in the end, no one will have the guts to do so, right?
However, this is not enough to make her stay... Kangxi stroked the stubble on his chin, and had an idea in his heart, "Is the imperial concubine still sleeping all the time these days?"
"Yes, I sleep for ten hours a day." Liang Jiugong was also very puzzled by this. Except for three meals a day, he basically spent the rest of the time on the bed, and said: "But the imperial doctor diagnosed that the imperial concubine is getting better during the recovery period." , has gradually cultivated."
Kangxi hummed, and said: "Follow her." Then he asked: "On the day Suo'etu was escorted back to Beijing, did the crown prince send it off?"
"No!" Liang Jiugong said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stayed in his room to copy the filial piety scriptures, and he has not gone out for the past few days. But the elder brother is a bit suffocated." After speaking, he asked the little eunuch to copy the Prince Yinfeng The book of filial piety was submitted and sent to Kangxi Yu's case.
Having already copied several large books, they were neatly piled up into a hill, Liang Jiugong said: "His Royal Highness is copying day and night, and only sleeps three hours a day."
Kangxi flipped through it casually, not only did he copy a lot, but he was also very careful, and every stroke was very neat, and he said: "Yinfeng's calligraphy has improved again!" Immediately, some of his hearts softened, "Forget it, call him Take a good rest, just copy slowly, don’t get exhausted.”
"Whoo!"
Near noon, Kangxi returned to the bedroom, and four or five court ladies waited silently outside the golden lacquer Fushan Shouhai's Babu bed.The beaded curtains and curtains on the bed were all down, and the inside was completely covered.
The palace lady Fushen said softly: "The imperial concubine is resting, and the slaves are not allowed to disturb you."
Kangxi couldn't help walking slowly, approaching the bed slowly, passing through layers of gauze curtains, on the bed in between, a piece of quilt was bulging, and he didn't even want to show his head, so he couldn't help but a smile spread from the corner of his mouth : "I'm still sleeping at this time..." There was a bit of pampering and helplessness in her tone, and she reached out to help open the quilt.However, Kangxi was suddenly furious, and there was nothing inside, it was empty, leaving only a few wisps of familiar fragrance!
"Where did the imperial concubine go?!" Kangxi immediately flew into a rage, and questioned the maid who was serving close by.
The palace maids were startled and hurriedly knelt down, and the pretty maid hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is on the bed! She hasn't gotten up since she had breakfast."
"Useless things! You can't even do this little thing well, what's the use of keeping you!" Kangxi clenched his fist tightly, and then shouted: "Liang Jiugong! Take it down and deal with it!" (To be continued. If If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
"Uncle, this matter...is it really you..." A few days before Suo'etu was escorted, Yinfeng still couldn't help asking.
