Chapter 403: Disappointment and Expectation (First Update)
Tong Guowei snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, we won't leave them behind..."
It was he who underestimated the emperor.
The Emperor is no longer the young child who first ascended the throne, nor is he the restless young emperor in his teens.
Everything that happened more than 20 years ago was revealed.
To be honest, the emperor had no doubts about the deaths of brothers one after another in the palace back then?
Why wasn't it investigated back then? Times have changed and why was it investigated all these years later?
It's just that the imperial power is stable and there is no need for them, the royal relatives of the upper three banners, to check and balance the princes and clans of the lower five banners.
As he was talking, there was movement outside.
A voluptuous young woman came in, followed by a woman holding a baby in her arms. Both the master and the servants were frightened.
Long Keduo saw him and hurriedly greeted him, feeling distressed: "Si'er, why are you here..."
"Third Master..."
The young woman twisted her body and bumped into Longkodo's arms. Lihua said to the rain: "It was the people outside who asked me to come. They said they wanted me to go back to my hometown with the third master..."
Longkoduo hugged her and said, "Let's do it together, let's do it together. I won't worry if you two are left in the capital!"
Si'er's beautiful face makes me ecstasy when I see her. How can others hold back when they see her?
If you really want to stay in the capital, I'm afraid your head will no longer be a hat, but a vast grassland.
The whole hall saw that these two people were clinging to each other.
Normally it might be a joke, but right now I can't even laugh.
Everyone looked at Longkodo's wife, little Hershey.
Little Hesheli supported her mother-in-law and stood beside her with a sneer on her face.
Your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are both from the Tong Guowei clan, but they are from the Sony branch.
You and Mr. An Yan are cousins. The elder and the younger couple are childhood sweethearts. When the elder and the younger are younger, they kiss and become husband and wife.
I never thought that there would be nothing unexpected in just a few years after the wedding.
When Young Master An Yan went to his uncle's house, he saw Longkodo, his father-in-law's concubine Xina.
She used various means to get out of Tong Guowei's family and wanted to take her into the house as a concubine.
However, Da Tongguo Wei's family got the support of his aunt and mother-in-law, and it was Xu Longko who withdrew from the family.
Hanyu!
A watery woman!
If you act politely outside the house or show off in the backyard, will you be able to make Mr. Jiao Zhen go crazy?
Therefore, Longkoduo entered the Duke's Mansion, became the inner chamber, and gave birth to Shao An Yan's second son.
The mother and son had established a family tree, but they were still allowed to leave.
Seeing the dog, the woman, and the man hiding together for a long time, hugging each other in front of a room full of elders, Tong Guowei was not upset at all.
Or did you ask someone to remind Ma Qi privately that the Duke's Mansion didn't have many people in Shichahai's house? If so, how could they be found out so slowly?
Li Si'er knew what he was thinking and didn't say anything.
The Duke's wife, Tong Guowei, thought it would be nice to take Longkodo with her, just like a big cat or a big dog, to relieve her son's boredom.
As for Li Si'er's concubines and concubines, they had no room to speak.
Only the eldest son, Sun Shun Fujin, thought it was inappropriate and said to Li Si'er: "Mafa, the eighth uncle behaves like that..."
There are no guards around inside yet.
Seeing this, he wanted to "escort" our family to Fengtian.
Your Majesty has hated the Tong family. At that time, did you want to count on the prince's side?
When the throne changes, the Tong Guowei family is about to rise, and the Tong family says it's time to take advantage of it.
Li Si'er looked at me and said, "What's wrong with me acting like that? It's because he went to the censor to impeach me, isn't it good?"
Shun Fujin's face turned red and white, then turned white and red again. He had been proud for many years and said what he said was an admission.
Young Master Jiao Zhen hugged his concubine, but he was not deaf or blind. He turned to look at Shun Fujin, looked up and down, and said: OK, the big rabbit's hair is still full, so he knows how to stretch out his claws? Look for it.
The censor impeaches me, make room for him, right?"
In the guard office outside the palace, there are ministers in charge of the bodyguards, two for each of the eight banners. Since there are no deputy ministers, there are also two for each banner.
Jiao Zhenqi was in the absence of a junior minister in charge of the bodyguards, so An Yanshao's son was promoted to the seventh rank of Luan Yi Envoy and was promoted to a junior minister of the first rank.
In the same way, An Yanshao's uncle was under the command of Luan Yi, who was in the seventh rank, and Shun Fujin was under the first-class bodyguard in the eighth rank, making it difficult to retreat.
When will Li Si'er retire and Shao An Yan be promoted low, Shun Fu Jin will not have the chance to be promoted to the seventh rank.
Shun Fujin glanced at Long Keduo fondly and said, "Uncle Eighth's behavior is indeed not objectionable."
Young Master Jiao Zhen said sarcastically: "The prince-in-law is still trying to find something, so I'm just thinking about the title. He's quite good at daydreaming!"
Shun Fujin said angrily: "Your Ama is the eldest son of Mafa..."
Young Master Jiao Zhen pointed at the sign of the Duke's Mansion placed on the ground and said: "What's the question? That first-class dukedom comes by virtue of grace, from man to father, from father to son, nothing is right? You have to go beyond it.
From son to grandson, which family’s principle is this?”
Shun Fujin wanted to tell me about Confucian etiquette.
Jiao Zhenqi was impatient with the quarrel between his children and grandchildren, so he raised his head and said: Okay, this time it's no use arguing, go back to your hometown and farm!"
At night, Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Kangxi finished dealing with the problems in Jiangnan and put down his pen.
Zhao Chang bowed and came back, holding a few folders in his hand, which were a summary of today's news.
The Hesheli House has not yet been sealed, and the family members are now being detained in the Yamen of the Zongren Mansion. They will leave the capital after the Lantern Festival and be exiled to Ning Guta.
Apart from the Uyghurs of Tong State, only my cousin He Yi's wife brought clothes and food to wait for a visit.
On the contrary, none of Hesheli's brothers showed up.
Kangxi respectfully handed over the news about Tong Guowei's family.
The son is like the father.
The talents of Jiao Zhenqi's family are all under Sony, and the sons are all crooked.
If so, it would make Hesheli take the lead.
Now that Heshel is here, there are others who can take his place.
Still like the side branch He Yi.
Xinyu, this idiot, promoted me to a minor minister, not for me to succeed Hesheli and become the leader of the Tong Guowei family, but I hid.
Tong family…
Li Si'er hadn't received the order yet and was setting off after the Lantern Festival.
Mr. An Yan's wife reported that I don't have a home, and there are no members of the Tong family outside.
Orundai was stranded in Changchun Garden. Did he bother to return to Beijing?
Two elders of the Tong family who had become officials made a plea to Jiao Zhenqi.
Kangxi was furious because there were so few low-level officials in the yamen in the capital, and most of them came from the uncle's path to fill the gap.
At that time, I would have weighed it up and let go of the two low-priced ones who always died.
Test yourself?
Even if you are angry, there are officials who can remove you.
They are all adults!
It's not about friendship at all.
I would like to see if the Tong family members can continue to be prosperous with the uncle Guo's Mansion as their backing.
As for the prince's elder brother.
Kangxi: Xiaozhi took one look and put it down.
The characters and actions of my sons are all in my mind, and their reactions are quite different from what I guessed.
Check the outside of Hesheli's house to see if there is any reaction from the princes.
Because it was meal time, I went to Qibele's house to have dinner.
In the imperial dining room, I also received the filial piety of my father in the morning.
For this bowl of mutton tripe soup, Kangxi spared no effort to let the eighth elder brother jump up and down in the morning, hoping to encourage the other elder brothers to intercede for the Tong family.
News from West Garden…
After Kangxi opened it, he was not at ease.
Prince Ru asked?
Will he blame my Khan Amama for being cruel?
Jiao Zhenqi dared to scheme against the emperor's heirs and despised the imperial power in his heart. Who would take the prince in his eyes?
I'm afraid that in the eyes of this old man, the prince is not a puppet who will let me take power someday.
It was a piece of carrion, so it was necessary to cut it.
Kangxi sighed inwardly and quickly opened it.
The first line is not news about Tuoyuan Bookstore.
The prince has a good appetite for breakfast, so he eats half a bowl of porridge.
If you have a good appetite for dinner, eat half a bowl of it.
If you have a good appetite later, eat seven pieces of meat with sesame cakes and a bowl of sheep tripe soup!
Sheep tripe soup?!
Kangxi came up with a guess and continued to look up.
Sure enough, I saw a line marked, Shen Zheng, Fourth Brother Haha. The eunuch Zhuzi asked Yuzhu to go to Tuoyuan Bookstore to see the princess, and was ordered to bring some food inside.
Kangxi felt inexplicable. He was relieved, worried about the prince's diet, and felt that the style looked familiar.
I then took a look, and sure enough, the palace attendants in the South Palace of Hechi were free, delivering food to Concubine Yi in Changchun Garden, and also to the dining rooms of several eldest brothers.
The wine bar was outside the Virtue Palace, and it was sent there personally by Dong E. It was entrusted by the seventh elder brother to present it.
Kangxi thought about the bowl of sheep tripe soup in the morning and wondered if it was delicious.
I thought I was being filial and sensible, but in the end I was imitating others!
The fourth child is a filial son. He wants to ask people to buy mutton and send the tripe outside the garden. He just remembers to be filial and filial to my Khan Amma?
I should have been spared this morning. I should have been charged with "slowing down my errand" and be fined eight years' salary!
Qianxi Eight Institutes.
Fourth brother just stayed there to rest.
The two brothers were naughty when they were growing up. He would make trouble for you and you would make trouble for him. They would often sleep together.
The Seventh Institute and the Eighth Institute are located in the middle of the Seventh Institute. It turns out that the inner door is still open and connected.
It wasn't until last spring that the fourth brother pointed out that before the wedding, two grids were missing outside the yard, so he blocked it.
"When we renovate the house, we will also open a corner door in the front yard so that it will be easier to come in and out..."
Fourth Prince said enthusiastically.
Before having dinner at Qibele Mansion today, we did not go back to the palace directly, but went to this open space to wander around.
It can also be called an open space.
There are no rows of rooms below.
Earlier it was a barracks with a yellow flag.
The barracks that came with the yellow flag were moved to the territory, and the outside was taken over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Brother 10 also thinks it's good, but he also knows that there are no hidden dangers in the difficulty.
It's just that Fourth Brother was in high spirits, so I didn't say anything.
I will look for an opportunity to discuss with my fourth sister-in-law later on how to make it safer.
The fourth elder brother remembered the suggestion made by the tenth elder brother later and built a garden between my prince's palace and the fourth elder brother's prince's palace.
"Just do it like that, I'm really not afraid anymore!"
The fourth elder brother still felt restrained when he thought of the fourth elder brother.
"It would be great if Si Jiao Zhen behaved like Sister Qi..."
Fourth elder brother sighed.
Qi Longke may be young, but she doesn't act like a sister-in-law. She treats us uncles politely and loses closeness.
The tenth elder brother said without thinking: "In that case, the Crown Princess and the seventh sister-in-law behave in the same way as the fourth sister-in-law... You are all men of honor, and the son of the clan is born. The difference is the upbringing, so you behave accordingly."
There is no resemblance..."
If you really want to say it, Yilongke is no different.
It's just because the first brother has a lot of contact with his brothers, so it's obvious.
The remaining Xiao Longke's family background is slightly worse, Balongke is a side wife, Qilongke is from a middle-class family, and Silongke is from a foster family. They all have their own merits.
Brother Si smiled and said, "Really? It's strange that you two have the same temperament. Later I thought of that as the reason."
The tenth elder brother looked at whether the fourth elder brother had spoken.
The fourth brother is not lucky.
By a strange combination of circumstances, I got Hao Longke.
If it were Princess of the Aling family, the tenth prince would not dare to think about it.
Without such parents, there is no limit to how sneaky everything can be. How can a good girl be raised?
