The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 454 The Secret Edict
Seeing that nobleman Wu did not speak, Yanhua remained calm.If it's about patience, she thinks she will beat nobleman Wu.

Sure enough, Wu Guiren's face turned red and then turned white, turned white and turned red again, and after repeating this many times, she gritted her teeth and said unwillingly: "My sister doesn't treat me well at all." I wouldn't snatch the emperor away on the first day I entered the mansion.snort!

After she finished speaking, she got up angrily and wanted to leave.But her steps were extremely small, and she walked for a while before she walked a short distance, she couldn't help making Zi Yan look back: "What do they look like, haven't they said anything to keep me?"

Zi Yan glanced back, shook her head and said, "No, Concubine Xi is drinking tea... Concubine Xi is talking to Shao Yao... Concubine Xi is laughing..."

Wu Guiren gritted his teeth, and took big steps angrily.

Yanhua looked at the scene where the master and servant left, as if she was watching a joke: "Look at her. Shaoyao, after you return to Jingren Palace later, you ask Qian Gui to find out who it is I'm sending news to Ziyan and the others. It would be the best if I can find Ziyan's brother. Well, how about it, let Bai Zhi go to the palace, I will tell her about it, and ask Liu Chengzhi to help inquire about it .”

"Does Doctor Liu's weak appearance work? Why don't you gradually gain the sleeves of the girl? It's more reliable to ask Wei Chang'an to help."

"No need, Wei Chang'an is busy now, how can I find time to take care of this matter, don't bother their family." Yan Hua shook her head, Ying Xiu is now happy, she doesn't want to bother them with these things .Baizhi and his wife are good at medicine, they have visited a lot of people, maybe they will be able to find out soon.

It's not that she doesn't take the news of nobleman Wu seriously, but that she feels that if the news that nobleman Wu gets is very important to her, nobleman Wu will definitely look for her again.

As she expected, nobleman Wu went to Jingren Palace to look for her twice, each time testing her with words, but he was unwilling to speak out.Because of this, Yan Hua felt that what Wu Guiren said must not be an urgent matter.

After Hongshi was fined, Yinzhen had been secretly discussing matters with Zhang Tingyu Ertai and others for many days. Every time Yanhua went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to hand in small letters, she heard that Yinzhen was discussing matters with ministers.As time passed, she didn't bother to go there any more, and asked Du Ruo to send her off every time.

In the first ten days of August of that year, Yinzhen summoned all the officials in Qianqing Palace and announced that he had secretly appointed the crown prince, but he did not announce which elder brother it was.Pointing to the "Upright and Bright" plaque in the Qianqing Palace, he told everyone and the elder brothers that he had already written two copies of the imperial edict, and one was placed in the brocade box behind the "Upright and Bright" plaque he was referring to; He will keep the other copy himself.

"After many years, if I return to the west, someone will use these two edicts as the standard, and let the new king inherit the throne. The contents of the two edicts will be exactly the same." It's not a big deal in his eyes.His eagle eyes swept over the three elder brothers present one by one, and he could see the hope in Hongshi's eyes, the magnanimity in Hongli's eyes, and the bewilderment in Hongzhou's eyes.

As soon as he personally finished talking about the establishment of a secret reserve, all the officials started discussing it, and after the discussion, no one objected.

No one dared to object.They asked the emperor to set up a prince, well, the emperor set up a prince.But the emperor said, right now you don't have the right to know who I have appointed as the crown prince, and I don't want to announce it to the world right now.

Thinking of the late Kangxi period, when all the princes fought against each other and did not fight for the throne, all the officials who had a little insight did not dare to ask any more questions.Those officials who didn't have enough eyesight to ask questions were also stopped by their colleagues in various ways.

Everyone had their own thoughts, some glanced at the "Fair and Bright" plaque from time to time, and some secretly glanced at the emperor's expression, no one could tell for sure which elder brother the emperor preferred.

At this time, the aloof emperor slowly opened his mouth again, with an inexplicable majesty in his light voice: "As long as I am alive, I can replace the edict behind this plaque at any time. Brothers Keep the heart of loyalty and filial piety and study diligently. Only by reading thousands of books can you travel thousands of miles. In the future, the country and the country must be guarded by the principles you know from the books! The prosperity of the Qing Dynasty needs you to create I know the past and the present, and I have never seen ignorant people who can guard the country well and have the common people in their hearts, so that they can be supported by the common people."

Hongshi's eyes moved, and he raised his eyes to look at Yinzhen. There seemed to be a small ball of fire burning in his eyes, burning blazingly, as if to swallow him up.He must study hard in the future, learn riding and archery hard, and he will let his name be contained in the box behind the plaque!

For a long time after that, the matter of the emperor's secret establishment of the crown prince was turbulent in the hearts of everyone.Although everyone was curious about whose name was hidden in the box behind the plaque, no one dared to ask.

After Yanhua heard about this, she was equally curious, but she wisely chose to keep her mouth shut and never asked Yinzhen a single word.

At the beginning of September, Yinzhen went to the Shangshufang to inspect the homework of his elder brothers. In the huge room, only two brothers, Hongli and Hongzhou, were studying hard.Yinzhen tested their homework, Hongli's words and deeds and answers were excellent, Yinzhen nodded several times, but did not smile at him.If you are full, you will lose, and you will benefit from humility; if you are full, you will benefit, and you will lose if you are arrogant.Hongli is not afraid of him when he urinates, and he is precocious and sensible, but he can't condone Hongli.

The former prince Yinreng was also extremely outstanding when he was young, but after sitting on the prince's position for a long time, didn't he gradually lose his original ambition and lose himself?

Hongshi was not there, he had always hated studying with Hongli and the others because of his age, so he should be in his own study right now.Yinzhen hesitated for a while, but went to elder brother's place.

At that time, Hongshi was mending cicadas.There is a big tree in his yard, it may be juicy, and the cicadas on the tree are finished and new ones come, which is very noisy.He was just reading a book without eating, and he got a headache from the noise of the cicadas, so he asked someone for a sticky stick to mend the cicadas, and climbed up the tree to mend the cicadas. The eunuchs and maids under the tree were frightened Looking up, for fear that he would accidentally fall off.

Before Yinzhen stepped into the yard, he heard a burst of exclamation, such as "Master, be careful!", "Third Master, hold on to the branches!" "Master, come down quickly!", one after another, it was very lively.Yinzhen stopped and watched for a while, then looked up into the canopy of the tree, a vigorous man was climbing on the tree trunk, carefully sticking to the cicada.

"Third elder brother, the emperor is here..." Su Peisheng didn't make a sound at first because he hadn't entered the courtyard yet, but seeing Yin Zhen's face darken again, he hurriedly called out to remind him.But before he finished speaking, Yinzhen raised his hand to stop him.

The people on the tree were concentrating on patching the cicadas, and the people under the tree were worried about Hongshi's safety, so they yelled "Be careful" from time to time, so the people in the yard didn't hear Su Peisheng's future Finished reminder.

Yinzhen walked into the yard with a cold face, stood at the gate and raised his head slightly: "What are you doing?"

"Huang...Huang Ama..." Hong Shi let go of his hand and almost fell from the top. Yinzhen's brows tightened suddenly following his precarious body. When he saw him hugging the tree trunk tightly again, his brows finally closed. It loosened up slightly.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is auspicious!" The group of people under the tree were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they all knelt down hastily.

Hongshi slid down from the tree in a hurry, his hands were scratched a little because of his haste.He has been mischievous since he was a child, but Cai Buchan is actually just a little irritable because he can't read well.Seeing the emperor coming now, he naturally didn't dare to mend the cicada anymore.

The maemi above his head screamed loudly again, as if mocking him, and it became louder and louder.Hongshi looked at his hands irritably, then knelt down to greet Yinzhen.

"Huang Ama, I was studying just now, this cicada is too noisy, so I want to catch it before continuing to study." He lowered his head, hiding the panic in his eyes.

"The eunuchs and guards in the palace just eat and don't do anything? You have to do this kind of thing yourself, hmph, in this case, I have to take care of it... Well, by the way, Su Peisheng is here, Su Peisheng, how do you manage things? Son? Are these eunuchs freeloaders?" Yinzhen glanced at Su Peisheng with a half-smile, but everyone present was sweating coldly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare your life... I don't dare to eat for free, it's..." The two little eunuchs behind Hongshi were so frightened that they repeatedly admitted their mistakes, but they didn't dare to say that it was the third elder brother who wanted to go up to mend the cicada himself.

Su Peisheng glanced at the emperor, but couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he just bowed his waist and admitted his mistake: "It's the slave who can't discipline well. The slave will send someone to send them to the Punishment Department, and the Punishment Department will deal with it..."

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life! The servant is the one who wants to mend the cicada, and it is the third elder brother who said he wants to mend it himself... Your Majesty, please forgive me!" One of the young eunuchs trembled with fright when he heard the word Punishment Division, and did not wait. Someone stepped forward to take him to the Punishment Department, and he quickly confessed the truth.

Hongshi glanced at the back obliquely in annoyance, and quickly kowtowed: "Huang Ama, it was my son who climbed up to mend the cicada by himself. My son was tired from reading just now, so I wanted to exercise my muscles and bones, and listened to this cicada again." The cicadas were too noisy, so I went up to catch them myself."

"How dignified a prince is, hum!" Yinzhen gave him a flat look, then turned and went out with a stern face.

Those two little eunuchs didn't know what the emperor meant by this move, were they going to be punished, or did they just let it go?
Su Peisheng just glared at them, did not pursue further, and quickly followed the emperor.Hongshi didn't understand what his Huang Ama's reaction meant, and he was only thinking about whether the box behind the plaque was originally his name, would it be changed because of today's incident?He trembled slightly, turned around and scolded the little eunuch who had just explained...

During this period, the battle in the western frontier resumed, and by the beginning of October, it was out of control.Luobu Zangdanjin launched a war in Qinghai. Previously, when Emperor Kangxi was alive, he invaded Tsewang Arabtan in Tibet. This time, he also organized a rebellion as Luobu Zangdanjin's backup.Yinzhen sent a servant to negotiate peace as early as July, but that person was directly detained by Luo Bu Zang Danjin.

At the beginning of October, Yinzhen hurriedly appointed Nian Gengyao as the general of Fuyuan, and ordered him to station in Xining to fight the rebellion.

General Nian gained power, and the status of Concubine Nian became more and more revered in the harem.Song Chang was the first to go to Yikun Palace to congratulate him after learning that Nian Gengyao had been promoted to General Fuyuan.

But she didn't expect that the imperial concubine's attitude towards her suddenly became a little alienated. Before the imperial concubine could speak, Xi'er replied with a smile: "Chang Zai, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and your lord can be promoted to the general of Fuyuan. It is the emperor's favor to you." Trust is also the result of Your Excellency's loyalty to the Emperor, and the imperial concubine will naturally be happy for Your Excellency. However, what does Your Excellency's promotion have to do with Yikun Palace? It is not appropriate to come here to congratulate you so much. If the Emperor finds out, Do you want to misunderstand that the noble concubine is colluding with the lord?"

Song Changzai glanced at her, and was embarrassed by what she said. She never thought that Xi'er, who had been smiling all the time, would be so eloquent: "Hehe... Xi'er was joking, how could I mean it like that? I was just happy for the imperial concubine, that's why I came to congratulate you. It's just that I didn't think carefully, and I hope the imperial concubine will not misunderstand."
