Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

When she said this, how could Yongzheng say no.

He wept and said: "It's my son's fault for making Queen Mother like this. My son will never mention it again."

Umalu looked at him softly: "It doesn't have to be like this between you and my mother and child."

She told him: "You are so busy on weekdays, if you can rest for a while, just rest for a while. Leave everything in the harem to Jingshu. I have never taken care of trivial matters in my life, and I don't want to mess with you when I'm done." This heart."

"Yes." Yongzheng agreed.

Umalu greeted him: "You bring Jing Shu over someday, and have dinner together."

"it is good."

The two chatted for a while, and Umalu gave him some refreshments before letting him leave and continue to work on political affairs.

She sat in the room, dazed for a long time, and finally asked Yin Shuang'er to move all her things over the years.

The eunuchs carried large and small boxes and put them in the house.

Wait for everyone to leave.

Umalu opened the box and threw all the words and pictures she had written and drawn in the box into the copper basin one by one. Looking at these papers, they were swallowed up by sparks bit by bit.

She burned the traces she left, and also burned all the past.

fair enough.

She came and went clean, and her hands were never stained with blood.

She is still her.

Those gold, silver and jewels were either distributed by her to the people below, or sent to the concubines of the Yonghe Palace.Leave the rest to Jing Shu and the others.

She put away all the things that Kangxi had given her, such as wind chimes or porcelain dolls, and put them in her purse, and let Yin Shuang'er put them in Kangxi's coffin.

Whoever owns it will belong to him.

She never covets these.

She never underestimated Kangxi's friendship, she just returned Kangxi's friendship to himself.

After everything was cleaned up, she was also tired and went to bed, leaving a room of ashes.

Yin Shuang'er took the reward money given by Umalu, found her sister, and gave her all of them.

Yin Xi'er wondered, "Sister, don't you want it?"

Yin Shuang'er smiled and shook her head: "I don't need these."

She had thought about it a long time ago.

If the master goes, she will follow.

Yin Xi'er didn't understand what she meant, but she accepted it anyway, saying: "I'll keep it for you, if you want it, come find me again."

Yin Shuang'er smiled, left without saying anything.

On November 29th, Concubine Yi was very sad for Kangxi's death, so she suffered a serious illness. She is still sick and weak, so she sat in a soft sedan chair carried by four people and went to Kangxi's mausoleum to offer sacrifices.

She walked in a hurry, walking in front of Umalu who had become the empress dowager.

Umalu didn't respond, and didn't feel anything, supported by Yin Shuang'er, she walked slowly.

Yin Shuanger was wronged by Umalu, and was about to speak, but Umalu pressed Yin Shuanger's hand and shook his head at her.

Seeing this, Yin Shuang'er fell silent.

When Concubine Yi saw Yongzheng, her attitude was still arrogant.

Yongzheng was extremely displeased.

When he first came to the throne, he was humiliated by this.If he didn't punish him with small punishments, would anyone still obey his decrees in the future?

He has always had a city in his chest, and has been in the officialdom for a long time.

Knowing that if he argues with Concubine Yi in front of the Emperor Kangxi, not only will he lose the dignity of being an emperor, but he will also be accused of being unfilial.

He was silent, didn't say a word, didn't care about Concubine Yi, just put up with it.

A few days later, on Jiayin Day in December, Yongzheng ordered the arrest of 12 people including Zhang Qiyong, the leader of Yikun Palace who served Concubine Yi.

Yongzheng accused Zhang Qi of making a lot of money by trading, and he was afraid that he did it under the instructions of Concubine Yi.

Yongzheng ordered the Minister of Internal Affairs to find out the matter.

Concubine Yi sneered and smashed the teacup: "He's just like his mother-in-law, he's doing better than anyone else on the surface, and he just says nice things. It's ridiculous to make some excuses and act like no one is sorry for them. "

She scolded: "It's just because I robbed his mother's way."

Concubine Rong turned the beads and said slowly: "She is the queen mother now."

Concubine Yi is not afraid of these things: "I don't care about these things. He only wants to find my faults and kill me if he has the ability. I want to see if he dares to bear the charge of disobedience and unfilial piety."

Concubine Yi scolded: "It's really disgusting."

Concubine Hui rarely spoke.

Concubine Yi looked at Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui shook her head, but did not speak.

Concubine Yi snorted: "Anyone who goes out of the palace, he doesn't want me to see him again."

The rest of the two were just silent when they heard the words.

Concubine Yi said: "Why don't you speak?"

Concubine Rong said, "Let's talk about it later."

Concubine Hui also advised her: "You'd better take care of your body first, don't get angry and ruin your body."

This matter was not discussed.

However, since they left the palace and were taken care of by their own sons.

Concubine Yi Guo Luoluo, Concubine Rong Ma Jia, Concubine Hui Ulanara, Concubine Dai Jia, Concubine Ding Wanliuha, and the five concubines never entered the palace to pay their respects.

This is all for later.

It wasn't long before Yifei's leader, the eunuch, was investigated.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs found out that Zhang Qiyong was indeed doing business in private, colluding with others.

As Concubine Yi's chief eunuch, Zhang Qiyong naturally had close contacts with the eunuchs around Concubine Yi's relatives, and all of them were found out.

In this case, Wang Shifeng and Wang Ming, the eunuchs of Concubine Yi's sister and Princess Heshuo Kejing, were sent to Tuerfan to farm respectively, and Qiqihar became a servant of the Armored Man.

Li Jinzhong, the eunuch of Jiubeizi Yunyu, was sent to the extreme edge of Yunnan as a hard job.

Yongzheng has always looked down on these things.

In the past, when Kangxi was in power, he couldn't control it.

Now that he is in power, he naturally wants to take care of it.He not only manages, but also manages according to his own temperament.

His temperament is like Umalu's, he is quite withdrawn, and he can't tolerate dirt, so he has to clean up these things.

He decreed that if these servants refused to be sent to the frontier, they would be allowed to commit suicide.

The escorts had to report the place where they committed suicide, and the accompanying officials inspected and burned the bodies.

Either admit punishment or die.

He can't tolerate jokes, and he can't tolerate maneuvering.

What he wants is to be what it should be, black or white, pure or dirty.

He just wants the people below to be afraid of him, so that they won't lie and protect each other.

It suppresses the powerful and dignitaries within, and does not avoid relatives and estrangements.Standing on the outside, the outline is constant, and it is as hot as the sun.

Later, he issued a decree to track down those who were corrupt from top to bottom.

In the past, Liang Jiugong, the great eunuch next to Kangxi, had to accept bribes when he was serving Kangxi, deceive his superiors and conceal it, and secretly sold and passed on information related to Kangxi.

He was also reported by others.

Yongzheng sent people to investigate.

On the seventh day of December, Yanxin met Yunzhen who was rushing to the capital near Yulin, Shaanxi.

Yunzhen recognized him, stopped him, and asked about Beijing.

In accordance with Yongzheng's will, Yanxin did not mention this secret edict to Yunzhen.

Yandao: "The servant was sent by the emperor to call the General King back. Now that I met the General King on the road, it couldn't be better."

"Your majesty, is it the fourth brother?"

Yanxin nodded: "Of course."

Yunzhen subconsciously frowned slightly.

Yan Xin hurriedly said: "General, the emperor sent a servant to temporarily take over the position of the General, so that the General can go back to Beijing for the funeral, and also ask the General to hand over the seal."

Yunzhen didn't become suspicious, and the army recognized the seal but not the person.

After he left, the army really needed someone to temporarily take charge of military affairs for him.

Without Yongzheng's order and Yanxin's replacement, if he left the army privately, he would have fled the battle. According to military regulations, he would not be punished.

With Yanxin's arrival, he had to have a name to return to Beijing, so it was not considered a private departure.

Although he didn't think too much, but because of his trust in his fourth brother, he still handed over the seal letter to Yanxin.

Yan Xin put away the seal and saluted, "Please return to Beijing quickly, General Wang."

Yun Zhen saluted back, and rode back to Beijing quickly.

December [-]th, Dafeng.

Yongzheng officially granted Hongxi the title of King of Doroli County.

Babeile Yunhu was granted the title of Prince He Shuolian.

Twelve beige son Yunchen was registered as the king of Duoluolu County.

Because it is a taboo for the venerable, all brothers need to avoid it, and all men of the same generation need to change the word Yin to the word Yun.

On the same day, Yongzheng ordered the Prime Minister's Affairs Minister Wang and others: I obey the order of the Empress Dowager.Empress Xiaoyi once raised Ergong.The noble concubine is the sister of Empress Xiaoyi.The noble concubine should be named the imperial concubine.He and his concubine served the first emperor.most cautious.Concubine He should be made a noble concubine.I only have the most benevolent and generous heart of the empress dowager.This purpose is indeed permissible.You and others will investigate the case together with the Ministry of Rites.

In this edict, the noble concubine Tongjia of Jin is the noble concubine Tongjia of Huang Kao, and the concubine He of Jin is the noble concubine He.

Later, Jin Mi's concubine, Wang's family, became Mi concubine, and Ding's concubine, Wan Liuha, became Ding concubine.

He also honored a group of concubines from previous dynasties, saying that "now there are those whose mothers who gave birth to brothers have not been granted the title, they should all be titled nobles."

Concubine Chen was honored as Huang Kaoqian nobleman.

The concubine Shi Shi was revered as an imperial nobleman.

The concubine Gao Zaiyi was honored as the nobleman of Huang Kaoxiu.

The concubine Chen was honored as the nobleman of Huang Kao Bai.

The nobleman Ulanara is the concubine.

The Hetu family should be honored as the nobleman of Huang Kaoqi.

Not all concubines have Jin titles. For example, the five concubines Hui, Rong, Yi, Xuan, and Cheng were only honored as imperial concubines.

Among the concubines, the seventeenth elder brother Yinli gave birth to his mother, Qin concubine, and he was not promoted.

Among the concubines in the imperial examination, the most promoted was Prince He Shuoyi Yinxiang and his mother Concubine Min.

Yongzheng honored her as the concubine of Emperor Kaohuang and was buried in Jingling with her posthumous title of Jingmin.His family and clan members, etc., set aside a collar from Baoyi.

The imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty was buried in the emperor's mausoleum, which was created by Emperor Yongzheng.

Although the Ministry of Rites has been asked to do it, after all, this is a big deal, and the ceremony will take some time to complete.

Yongzheng was not in a hurry, so he let them do it anyway.

On December [-], Prince He Shuolian Yunhu was awarded the Minister of Lifan Academy.

On December [-], Yanxin traveled to Liangzhou.

Afterwards, Yanxin heard that Yunzhen's wives and concubines all left for the capital through Liangzhou on the fifth day of December, so he immediately wrote a secret letter.

The letter described in detail the two possible routes that Yunzhen's family might have taken, so that Yongzheng sent his cronies to intercept and search for the family letters and other things they might have taken away.

During the Spring Festival holiday, Yunzhen traveled day and night and finally arrived in Beijing.After a short rest, head to Jingshan Shouhuang Hall to visit Kangxi's coffin.

When he saw Yongzheng, he refused to kneel down and stood upright, confronting Yongzheng silently.

Yongzheng was also silent.

Yun Zhen was so wronged that he couldn't help feeling a little angry, he rushed back from a long distance, but his good fourth brother wouldn't even ask a question, let alone offer any other words of comfort.

Seeing the stalemate, the guard Laxi hurriedly pulled Yunzhen forward.

Yunzhen was furious, scolded Laxi angrily, went to Yongzheng, and reprimanded Laxi for being rude, saying: "I am your own brother, and Laxi is a lowly servant. If there is something wrong with me, I beg the emperor to punish me. If I There is nothing wrong with it, I beg the emperor to immediately rectify Laxi and rectify the state."

Although he said unintentional words of extreme grievance and anger, he was undoubtedly setting Yongzheng on fire in front of everyone.

If Yongzheng is partial to him, no one will dare to do things for Yongzheng in the future; if Yongzheng punishes him, he will not be recorded by the historian, and before Kangxi dies, they will fight against each other.

Yongzheng hid all his emotions under his cold face and looked at him silently.

Yunzhen never admits his mistake, glaring at Yongzheng like a fighting cock.

The rest of the people were whispering, and some people advised Yunzhen to salute Yongzheng.

There is nothing good about those who disobey the emperor.

He Shuolian Prince Yunyu heard the voice outside, hurried out of the account room, and said to Yunzhen: "Fourteenth brother, why don't you kneel when you meet the emperor?"

Yunzhen looks at Yunhu.

He is always youthful, always thinking about brotherhood.Even if Yunhu didn't take his side, but Yunhu had spoken, so even if he was wronged, he would still listen to his starling and kneel down silently.

Yongzheng kept it in mind, but he didn't care about them.

In the same month, Living Buddha Zebzundamba Hutu Ketu heard that Kangxi died of illness, went to the capital, and visited Kangxi Zigong.

After Yunzhen came back, Yongzheng asked Kangxi to guard the imperial tomb with Prince He Shuocheng Yunzhi according to what Kangxi said on his deathbed.

Yongzheng was afraid that his mother-in-law would care, so he told Umalu about it.

"In the later period of the emperor's reign, the old eighth and the others pushed the fourteen out and stood on the table. It was a superficially beautiful position, but in fact it was a position that was hated." Yongzheng said, "Now that the fourteenth is back, I'm afraid that the old eighth and the others Whatever you do, you have to push it to Fourteen.”

He sighed: "Thirteen is pitiful, I am close to Thirteen. Fourteen can't listen to what I say, and he can't listen to me when I tell him directly. I just think they are good."

Yongzheng said sadly: "The eighth brother is good, but the ninth brother has a cunning and vicious mind, and repeatedly uses the fourteenth as a weapon. When the prince was abolished for the first time, didn't he? Fourteen didn't think so."

He mentioned the time when they were scolded by Kangxi for "Liang Shanbo's loyalty".

Not long after that incident, Yunyu encouraged Yunzhen to wear shackles and threaten Kangxi with poison.

From then on, Yongzheng knew that his stupid younger brother was being flattered and killed.On the surface, he said he was a brother, and said, "Brother Fourteen is extremely smart, talented and virtuous, and my brothers are not as good as him." But secretly he was used as a fool.

Fortunately, his mother-in-law is not an ignorant and stupid woman, so she would not hang herself because of her fourteenth brother, and she allowed him to defend herself.

He sighed and said, "Old Shi is simple and straightforward, doing things that offend others. He has Niu Hulu's family behind him. Others dare not argue with him, but they must not argue with Fourteen."

Yongzheng continued: "Even if the emperor doesn't say anything before he dies, I will let Fourteen guard the imperial tomb. The things that the old eight and the others did will not implicate him."

Umalu nodded again and again, and comforted him: "Fourteen is bound to do this because of brotherhood. I know all of these. I know you are doing it for his own good, and you can do whatever you want."

Umalu said: "I only have one word, as long as it doesn't hurt his life, it's fine."

Yongzheng smiled and said: "The emperor also gave such instructions before he died."

He was startled to realize that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly added: "My son really hopes that the Empress will live forever."

Umalu smiled and said, "It's okay, I know what you mean, don't be so careful."

Umalu suddenly said: "Fourth brother, if I go, you will not be bound in this world."

Yongzheng was startled and said, "Why did Huang Erniang say such a thing?"

Nan Huaijin commented: 80 years after the Qing Dynasty entered Dingding, there was a literary poem no less than any Hanlin scholar; Tan Chan said, no less than Emperor Yongzheng, the master of Zen.His way of governing makes people not dare to be bullied, nor can they be bullied.Suppress the dignitaries inside, do not avoid relatives and estrangements.Standing on the outside, the outline is constant, and it is as hot as the sun.With this conservative, of course, it can make the inside and outside solemn, who dares to compete with it.He really laid the foundation of the Qing Dynasty and gave his children and grandchildren good management.In fact, he can be regarded as a generation of wizards among the Dingding Shoucheng emperors in the past dynasties, and he is the only one among the professional emperors in the past dynasties.
