In October of the 14th year of Kangxi's reign, the Forbidden City.
The weather this year has been surprisingly cold. We have just entered winter and there have been several heavy snowfalls in succession.
Heavy snowflakes like torn cotton wool fell from the sky, covering the yellow glazed tiles tightly.
The red palace walls and the white snowflakes complement each other, making the red appear redder and the white appear whiter.
The maids and eunuchs in Chuxiu Palace came and went in a hurry.
Without him, it is said that the concubine Hesheli who lives in this palace and has just entered the palace for more than two months is dying!
Just like cold water dripping into a hot oil pan, the whole Forbidden City was suddenly shaken by the rumor that "the prince has a bad reputation and will live to deny his relatives".
The predecessor of this rumor is "The prince's fate is tough, but he is born to be a slave to his mother."
It was in June this year, when the seventh elder brother Baocheng, the second son of the late empress, had just been canonized as the crown prince, the news came from unknown sources in the palace.
At that time, not many people believed it, because anyone with a discerning eye could see it. The late Queen Hesheli had been in poor health since her eldest son, Chenghu, died in infancy.
She reluctantly became pregnant with her second son. However, due to physical reasons, it was difficult to give birth to a child. Two hours after delivery, she died of bleeding in Kunning Palace.
The young emperor was so heartbroken that he did not follow the existing precedents of posthumous titles starting with the word "filial piety" such as Empress Xiao Ci Gao, Empress Xiao Duanwen, Empress Xiao Kangzhang, etc. Instead, he gave his legitimate wife another posthumous title, which was "Ren Xiao".
"Queen" 1. On the grounds that "the status of the Queen's legitimate son is valuable", he personally took her to Qianqing Palace to raise her.
However, August 15th this year just passed.
The emperor then passed on the Queen Mother's oral instructions and summoned Miss Hesheli to accompany him to the palace and take care of the prince!
It is said that the second young lady of the Hesheli family grew up in this village on the outskirts of Beijing and is extremely healthy.
And it was such a healthy person who entered the palace without even seeing the prince's face. He began to fall into coma and had a low fever. It lasted for more than two months and did not get better. Now there are rumors that "he is going to die."
.
Most people are beginning to believe it. Maybe, the prince, his fate is not good...
The rumors could not be eliminated, and the emperor was so angry that he threw a tea cup in the palace of Qianqing, and the palace was filled with blood again.
·
Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager sat on the soft couch with her eyes closed and meditative, slowly turning the beads one after another in her hands.
Kangxi sat on the armchair at the bottom, his face gloomy.
The two of them didn't speak to each other, and the atmosphere in the palace seemed to be stagnant. It was extremely quiet for a while, and the palace people standing nearby wished they could hold their breath, so as not to disturb the most noble grandfather and grandson in the world.
After a long time, Kangxi broke the silence first and said, "Mother Huang, please help your grandson."
Liang Jiugong, the chief eunuch standing behind Kangxi, lowered his head more carefully without leaving a trace, staring at the carpet under his feet, as if he was tracing the patterns on the carpet in detail with his eyes.
It seems that in this game between grandfather and grandson, the emperor took a step back first.
After too long of silence, when Kangxi spoke again, there was a hint of hoarseness in his voice: "My grandson admits that it is too early to establish a crown prince." Before he could finish his words, he paused reluctantly and said firmly: "But now the former dynasty
The situation of withdrawing the feudal vassal was severe. It had only been more than thirty years since the Manchus entered the customs. The Eight Banners
The disciples have become accustomed to living a comfortable life. Although they still retain combat experience, they are not as brave as before entering the customs. Moreover, there are few people in the Eight Banners. If they want to increase the hope of victory in withdrawing the feudal vassal, they need to win over the Manchu dignitaries on one side, and on the other.
To make good use of Han officials, we need to rely heavily on the Han people."
Hearing what her grandson said, the Empress Dowager opened her eyes and slammed the Buddha string that was spinning in her hand onto the small table placed on the couch, which frightened the palace people in the room and quickly fell to their knees on the ground.
Sui is over sixty years old, but no one dares to underestimate this old lady who has experienced four dynasties and assisted two generations of emperors.
She looked at her grandson in front of her who was a little pale and had dry lips, but had firm eyes and a look of embarrassment. She sighed and motioned to Aunt Suma next to her to bring Kangxi a cup of warm milk and left the room.
Liang Jiugong and Sumala Gu were the only ones left to serve.
Then he opened his mouth and said: "Xuan Ye, the Ai family understands what you mean. The Han people value their legitimate concubines. You want to win the support of the Han people by establishing your legitimate son as the prince and show that you have a successor."
Kangxi nodded. His imperial grandmother was indeed very talented in politics. He just wanted to use this move to show the world how strong his determination was to withdraw from the vassal state. Even if he had an accident because of this, he still had an heir.
Continue your ambitions.
Aunt Sumala carefully placed the bottle of milk on Kangxi's right hand side. After Liang Jiugong behind him tested the poison with a silver needle, Kangxi picked up the tea cup and drank all the warm milk in the cup in one gulp.
"But, Xuan Ye, you are still too young," the Empress Dowager gently shook her head and said looking at her sweet grandson who was more decisive and tougher than him.
She admitted that her grandson had been smart since childhood, diligent and studious, and indeed had the appearance of a wise king.
But he also suffered the disadvantage of having his own royal mammy behind him to protect him. His accession to the throne at a young age was too smooth, and he underestimated how difficult it would be to become a prince and the importance of a country's prince.
Huang Taiji died suddenly and suddenly, leaving no clear heir. She had personally experienced the cruel years when Hauge and Dorgon fought fiercely for the throne.
She analyzed her grandson in detail: "The position of the prince is related to the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. How can it be as easy as you think? Not to mention the current attitude of the clan, Baocheng is now only one year and five months old."
, it is still unclear whether he will grow up smoothly, and we don’t know whether he will be a virtuous or a coward in the future. He was established as a prince when he was still a baby. Isn’t it obvious that Baocheng was put on a rack and roasted? "
When Kangxi heard his mama say this, he didn't show it on his face, but he didn't care much in his heart.
In the past, except for Chenghu, the princes were raised by the queen, and the rest of the concubines were raised by his side because of the ancestral motto that "low-ranking concubines are not allowed to raise children." If they were princes, they would all be taken into their arms from the full moon.
I went to my brother's house and was taken care of by specialized nannies.
But now, he personally raises Baocheng, and is surrounded by his confidants on the surface, and also has many secret guards secretly placed, so Baocheng will surely grow up smoothly.
Moreover, he named his beloved son "Baocheng" to reflect his wish to "protect his beloved son and grow up to be a man".
Furthermore, he does not believe that his beloved son, who will be enlightened and raised by himself in the future, will not learn well?
The Empress Dowager glanced at her grandson and understood that the arrogance of the men of the Aisin Gioro family was also inherited from the same origin. Since the execution of Ao Bai's pro-government, the emperor had overestimated his current abilities.
For example, the current withdrawal from San Francisco, in her opinion, is still too early.
At first, because of the withdrawal of the vassal state, both the grandfather and the grandson were unhappy. Even though the situation has become increasingly tense, there is no turning back. The royal family cannot retreat. At this time, she became a staunch supporter of Xuan Ye's withdrawal from the vassal state.
But as the emperor's grandmother and the prince's great-grandmother, she had to take advantage of the fact that the emperor was still young and give her a lot of blows to temper his grandson's temper.
"So, Emperor, can you completely eliminate the rumors about the prince being seriously injured in the palace?" The Empress Dowager also picked up the warm milk prepared by Sumala Aunt for herself, took a sip, and continued: "Killing people will punish the heart, and the prince will kill himself."
Having been saddled with such life-threatening rumors since childhood, do you think the position of prince will be smooth in the future?"
"But, Madam Huang, you know very well that there is something fishy about little Hershey's sudden illness, and the words of denigrating relatives are completely unfounded."
"It's strange or not. Does it matter in the eyes of you and me, but in the eyes of others?" The Queen Mother interrupted Kangxi's unfinished words, "Most people in the world are ignorant. In their eyes, the prince lost his mother as soon as he was born. This is
My aunt has just entered the palace, and she is seeing people dying. It’s not about her fate, but it’s something like that.”
Kangxi was stunned and completely speechless.
He couldn't control the queen's dystocia, and now little Hesheli, who had just entered the palace, had an emergency, but Liang Jiugong had already discovered something fishy.
However, his current control over the harem is still too weak compared to that of the Imperial Grandmother. The clues are broken in the harem. He has only scratched the surface after searching. In order to get the truth, he can only seek help from his Imperial Grandmother.
Helped.
This is not to say that he takes the little Hesheli too seriously, but because this is obviously for Baocheng, and if someone really dares to attack the queen's sister so blatantly, then his own safety will be at risk.
Won't they also be threatened?
Maybe when San Francisco is completely cleaned up, he will be able to take control of his harem, but now the post has only been empty for a year, and the demons and ghosts in the palace have already started to behave.
When Kangxi thought of this, a sharp look flashed across his eyes.
"In the first month of next year, let the girls from the Niu Hulu family and the Tong family also enter the palace. Without someone in charge, the palace will always be in chaos."
Kangxi paused and said that Baocheng was too young now and he really didn't want to appoint a successor so early.
But now that the situation in the former dynasty is critical, and those Manchu dignitaries have to win over, it is really time for a group of people to be admitted to the harem.
"Then Madam Laohuang will take care of her grandson."
While the grandfather and grandson were talking, they saw Aunt Gui, who had been sent by the Empress Dowager to take care of Concubine Hesheli, suddenly hurried into the room.
Aunt Gui's pace was fast and disciplined. As soon as she arrived in front of Kangxi and the Empress Dowager, she knelt down and saluted. When Kangxi called her to her, she said with joy on her face: "Thanks to the emperor and my master for their good fortune, He
Concubine Sheli's fever finally subsided a quarter of an hour ago, and now she is awake and can go to the ground. The imperial doctor said that the concubine's body suddenly burst into vitality, which may be due to the effect of the medicine, and it is estimated that she will be completely recovered in a few days.
"
"God bless you forever." Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager also became happy.
Kangxi also breathed a sigh of relief. The little Hesheli family was fine, and at least Baocheng's reputation was saved.
However, Qingyan, who finally completely integrated her soul and powers with her predecessor, opened her eyes and understood the era and identity she lived in in this life. She just wanted to curse!
