Comprehensive wear Meng Po comes a bowl of soup

Chapter 198
Qi Ru was the only kneeling person in the room, his body was bent very low, his forehead almost touched the blue bricks on the ground.Everyone in the room was waiting for his reply, and the gazes of Hongli and the Queen Mother made him tremble.

But he had to tell the truth, "Back to the emperor, the queen mother, the queen, the fourth elder brother and the fourth elder brother have no signs of taking medicine."

After saying this, his forehead hit the green brick with a 'bang', and he became even lower. He didn't dare to say another word.

Lang Ye didn't speak either, she looked at Hongli who was clenched in fists and his veins were bulging, and she glanced at the Queen Mother from the corner of her eye.

Lang Ye could not see any emotion on her face.

After a while, the queen mother spoke, her tone was calm, and she said: "Si elder brother is young and weak, the nights were cold a few days ago, the servants did not take good care of Si elder brother, let him catch the cold, really deserve to die."

Lang Ye shivered, and looked at the child in the cradle who was still not crying or fussing.Looking at Hongli again, he didn't speak, but his clenched fists were slightly loosened.

This group of slaves can't live anymore, and they didn't take good care of the fourth elder brother is the reason for their death.

As for the fourth elder brother, this child who was born in the name of a noble son, the royal family can't let people know that he is stupid, so he will also die from this unwarranted cold.

Lang Ye knew about this child's ending from the very beginning when she knew about it.But she thought Hongli would at least save his life.

But his silence and relaxation at this time told Lang Ye that he was ready to sacrifice this child to maintain his reputation and status.

Lang Hua picked up the child and carried it in front of Hongli. Hongli squinted his eyes at the young son who had been amused just now, and then looked at Lang Hua with dissatisfaction.

Lang Hua acted as if she didn't see it, and looked down at the baby in the swaddle.He was actually raised very well, with fair skin and exquisite facial features, otherwise Hongli, who always pays attention to having grandchildren but not children, would not have picked him up and teased him as soon as he came.

The room was quiet, and Lang Ye's voice was long and soft, and she whispered softly: "A few days ago, my concubine read the Huayan Sutra, and there was a saying in the scriptures: All living beings are the sons of the Buddha, but ordinary people are the sons of others, and the sravakas and Yuanjue are the bastards. , only bodhisattvas are true sons; this is a parable of secular ethics to denounce ordinary people and the two vehicles."

Hongli didn't seem to understand the meaning of Lang Ye's words.

The Empress Dowager asked in a sinking voice: "What does the Empress mean by this? Aren't you afraid of blasphemy?"

Lang Ye hugged the fourth elder brother, knelt beside Hongli, looked at the queen mother and said: "The queen mother has always respected and worshiped the Buddha, and the fourth elder brother has always lived in the Compassion Palace since birth, and the baptism he received is far superior to ordinary people.

The fourth elder brother does not enter the world of mortals, does not know the secular world, and is born in a noble family. How can he know that he is not the son of the Buddha? "

Hongli looked at Lang Ye, who had pity and pleading in his eyes.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the Empress Dowager and her elder brother went out of the palace to worship the Buddha in Mount Wutai.

Two months later, it became known to all the government and the public that the eminent monk on Mount Wutai asserted that the fourth elder brother had deep roots of wisdom and that he was the reincarnation of a Buddha.

Although the emperor could not bear the young son to become a monk, but unexpectedly, the fourth elder brother would suffer from all kinds of diseases as soon as he left Wutai Mountain. In order to save the young son's life, he had to let him live in Wutai Mountain temporarily.The queen mother took pity on her young grandson and proposed to stay in Wutai Mountain to accompany the child and pray for the Qing Dynasty at the same time.

When the news came, Yigui who lived in Changchun Palace was about to give birth.

Lang Ye fiddled with a huge sphere placed on a rosewood carved three-bend bracket.Think back to the situation that day.

Lang Ye begged Hongli to give the fourth elder brother a way of life with the words of the Buddha.After all, the fourth elder brother is Hongli's parent and son, a child he liked and held in his arms, who can have a way of life, and Hongli is unwilling to bear the crime of killing his son.What's more, what Lang Ye said, for the empress dowager and Hongli who believed in Buddhism, they would rather believe what they said than believe what they didn't.

What's more, what Lang Ye said, the fourth elder brother implicitly expressed that the fourth elder brother was infected with the Buddha's nature because he was with the queen mother for a long time, so that he did not enter the common world.This is undoubtedly an excuse for Hongli to excuse himself.

The fourth elder brother is not stupid, so he is not his stain and scourge.He was naturally happy to see it happen.

For the queen mother, there are two choices between raising a child as a Buddha and raising a child as an idiot, and she naturally chooses the former.

There is no need for Lang Ye to say more about what happened after that.After a game between the queen mother and the emperor, the queen mother took the fourth elder brother to Wutai Mountain to achieve the name of Buddha.The emperor promised to promote the empress dowager's family relatives, Niu Colu's family relatives.

But these things are superficial.Both the Empress Dowager Lang Yea and Hongli knew that stupidity is stupidity, it's just to put on a gorgeous coat for the dignity of the royal family.

So Bai Ruiji, who gave birth to a fool, fell out of favor.Although Hongli gave birth to her as a concubine on the grounds that she had contributed to the birth of the Buddha's son.But ordered people to withdraw her green head card, and built a Buddhist hall in Yuhua Pavilion, and asked her to live in it to pray for the fourth elder brother and Daqing.

Lang Ye knew that Hongli didn't dare to take the risk of having another idiot.After all, women are not rare for him, but if such a thing happens again, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to secure his throne.

In the beginning, Bai Ruiji often refused to accept and made troubles, and asked to see the emperor, but when Lang Ye told her that her child was an idiot, if she continued to make trouble, the emperor would hate the fourth elder brother because of her, and she and the fourth elder brother would all die at that time. After not going down.Concubine Min was quiet.Yes, her title has also changed, she is no longer the concubine who is as beautiful as a rose, but the concubine who is merciful to all living beings.

For the sake of her children, Bai Ruiji, who had always been domineering and domineering, put away her pipa and began to go naked and become a vegetarian.

She had always been rebellious, this was the first time she seriously gave Lang Ye a big gift, thanking her for being willing to speak out to save her child's life at that time.

Before Yigui gave birth, news came out from the Qin Tianjian that there was a pregnant woman in the harem who was pregnant with the image of Daji, which was the fetus of Dagui.At this time, the fetus in the womb of Yigui was born in the palace, and it was also reported that Jiagui was pregnant not long ago.

The people in the palace didn't know the truth about the fourth elder brother, and this time another noble son was born, and rumors spread around, and they began to point at Yong Lian, saying that the son of the eldest son was not as good as his younger brothers, and he was not the heir apparent.

After the news came out, another group of talkative eunuchs and maids died in the palace, and Hongli's face was always in a bad mood.The nobles hinted several times that what Qin Tianjian said was after she was pregnant, Lang Ye was not angry, but said: "The sons of the emperor are all noble sons, what Qin Tianjian said is true."

Because of Lang Ye's words, the words of the noble son dissipated quite a bit.

Lady Yi is timid, she came from Lang Ye's side, she knew that without Lang Ye's protection, let alone giving birth safely, it would be difficult for the emperor to take a look at her, so when the rumors spread to her, she was scared all day long The fetal movement was restless, for fear that Lang Hua would abandon her.

Even though she was relieved under the comfort of Lang Ye, she still gave birth to a child half a month early.Fortunately, she was well raised before, so the half-month advance did not have much impact on the fetus.

After confinement, the fifth elder brother Yong Jue had already grown plump and cute.

Lady Yi gave birth to the prince safely, and Lang Ye invited her to be a concubine.And these days, Jingyang Palace has also been re-inspected and repaired.Concubine Yi moved back to Jingyang Palace years ago.

On the New Year's Eve of the third year of Qianlong, Lang Ye lived very comfortably.The Empress Dowager, who had always been on her head in the palace, stayed in Wutai Mountain and did not return.

There are no thorns in the palace to oppose her, her son Yonglian is extremely intelligent, and her daughter is smart and cute.

After the beginning of the new year, Jin Yuyan, a nobleman, gave birth to her sixth elder brother, named Yongxuan.And she was also promoted because of having a child, and she was a concubine.

Concubine Jia's pregnancy has been very smooth from conception to delivery.It went so smoothly that Lang Ye doubted it.Because Jin Yuyan hinted that she had drugged Qing Ying and Gao Xiyue when she was in the Qian Mansion, so Lang Hua never liked her as a person.But in this day and age, these methods are common in the inner house and the harem, so Lang Ye only treats her as Mrs. Fucha.

But this time she gave birth safely, so that Lang Ye felt that she was not what she always showed.Lang Ye always knew that whether it was in the mansion back then or now, someone must have done something to fight for favor, but she has never been able to find this person.

Lang Ye had people arrange people to watch in Qixiang Palace, but they couldn't find any clues, so they could only pay attention secretly.

It was another year of Waking of Insects, because of the snake incident in Jingyang Palace the year before, this year Lang Ye specially prepared realgar and various insect repellent sachets for distribution to the Six Palaces early this year.

Princes were born again and again in the palace, and the concubines in the harem who were eager to have children were becoming more and more restless.Lang Ye thought that Gao Xiyue would be one of them.But she didn't expect her to be calm since she raised her elder brother, and she knew that her body still needed to be recuperated, so she wasn't as anxious as before.

And the elder brother Yong Huang became much more lively under her upbringing.

It was raining outside, and inside the Changchun Palace, Lang Ye was holding a copy of the map of Kun and said, holding a slender willow branch in one hand and lighting a spot on the globe.

Yong Lian looked at the location Lang Ye pointed at, and then Lang Lang recited the features and properties of this place.The two of them pointed at each other and found that there were no mistakes in five or six places, so Lang Ye closed the book.

Yong Lian took the book, put it back on the shelf on tiptoe, and said to Lang Ye, "Emiang, what's the use of me learning all these miscellaneous things?"

Lang Ye did not answer but instead asked: "Dong Qichang's "Painting Purpose" painters can learn the six principles?"

Yong Lian thought for a while and said: "Six methods of painters, I have read 'Qiyun is vivid', 'Qiyun' cannot be learned, it is learned in this life, and it is naturally given by heaven. The dust is turbid, and it is naturally camped in the hills and gullies. When you set up the Guoguo, you can write it by hand, and it is all vivid in the mountains and rivers."

Lang Ye nodded and said: "Landscape paintings need to travel thousands of miles to express their spirit. Don't you need to understand the situation to manage people's livelihood? Now you can't travel thousands of miles to understand the world, you can only know the customs of various places from these thousands of volumes of books. For example In order to control water, one should also understand where the water flows to the people's livelihood, so that the best plan can be formulated so that the people will not be displaced due to drought or flood."

Yong Lian asked: "That's why Er Niang let me read county annals in my spare time? Documents from the household department over the years? And these?" Yong Lian pointed to the big box prepared for him beside Lang Yea's bookshelf.Inside the box are all the newspapers of Gaomen Mansions from all over the country that Lang Ye asked her brother to collect over the years.

Lang Ye looked at him and smiled, "Yes, Er Niang hopes that Yong Lian's vision will be wider, so that he will not be deceived by the people below in the future. Can you figure out what Er Niang asked you to check a few days ago?"

Yong Lian bit his lower lip. He changed his teeth these days, but the two front teeth hadn't grown back yet. After a subconscious movement, he quickly pursed his lower lip, and said sullenly: "It's clear."

Lang Ye was not strict, looked at Yong Lian, and Yong Lian said: "During the reign of Chongzhen, the recorded population was 150 million, with 780 million hectares of cultivated land. Today, the population is more than 980 million, with less than 700 million hectares of cultivated land. mother?"

Lang Ye knew that he wanted to say, could it be that the life of the common people under the rule of the Qing Dynasty is not as good as it was during the reign of Chongzhen?
Ever since he entered school, Yong Lian has attracted the attention of everyone. He is often praised as being like a prince, coupled with his status and Hongli's preference.He has a strong sense of belonging to his family and country, and he is proud of being the prince of the Qing Dynasty.So when he saw the data, he didn't believe it at first, and checked it repeatedly for several days before he had to admit this reality.

Lang Ye didn't want to hurt the child, but he couldn't always let him be proud of the kingdom of heaven under the influence of the courtiers and Hongli, so he said: "In less than a hundred years, the population has increased by more than eight million. This is a good thing, which shows that Now that there is peace, fewer people will die and more people will be born. But the scourge of war can never be recovered overnight.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, you didn't need to tell me what you did to stabilize the court.After that, it was only through the efforts of the holy grandfather and the late emperor that it could reach the present situation.But is peace now? "

Lang Ye didn't say any more about this question.

He took out a yellowed blueprint and spread it on the table, and called Yong Lian to take a look.

Yong Lian exclaimed: "The cannon in red?! Er Niang, why do you have this?"

Lang Ye smiled, "It's just an old blueprint."

Lang Ye tapped the red seal under the blueprint, "Apocalypse Six Years System?!" Yong Lian exclaimed.

He lay on the table and looked at the old drawing carefully.Last month, Lang Ye asked him to go to the Literature Museum to borrow several models of cannons designed by Nan Huairen during Shengzu's reign.

That is the most lethal weapon of the current imperial court, but now it seems that it is not much different from the red cannon a hundred years ago.

Lang Ye said: "This weapon was first bought by Xu Guangqi from the Portuguese in the previous dynasty. It is said that it was obtained from a shipwreck in England. Taizu suffered from this thing back then and passed away with regret.

Such a weapon, we are afraid of its power and no longer research and update.Do you think the country that invented it will one day drive a ship full of new cannons to the Qing Dynasty? "

Yong Lian's eyes widened, he looked at Lang Ye in disbelief, and stammered, "Er Niang, how could you have such an idea? Huang Ama said that I will come to court from all directions in the Qing Dynasty, in a prosperous age"

Seeing Lang Ye's expression of smiling but not speaking, Yong Lian couldn't continue.

Lang Ye pulled him in front of him, stroked his braid, and said softly, "Your Huang Ama has never gone out, he doesn't know what the outside world is like. All he knows is what Confucian scholars and officials want. Let him know. It's what he wants to know. Er Niang doesn't want you to become like this. Yong Lian, go to Lang Shining to learn painting when you have time?
Don't listen to his flattery, just ask him what his hometown is like. "

The colonial war in the west has already begun, and the gunfire and sharp knives will bring huge disasters to this ancient oriental country in the near future. They have no time to sleep in the dream of the heavenly kingdom.
