Comprehensive film and television: Queen Queen uses her beauty to commit crimes

The emperor's fainting was no small matter. The empress even wanted to hold her breath, fearing that if she took a breath any longer her head would fall off.

With acupuncture, the emperor's blood circulation quickly improved and he woke up smoothly.

After taking a sip of medicine and listening to Su Peisheng's report which continued to make the situation worse, he fell asleep due to weakness.

He didn't want to hear it, really.

Throughout the palace, except for Chuxiu Palace, there is no one who can give him peace of mind.

Chop them all off! Drag them all down and chop them off!

He really wanted to say this, and he did so in his dream.

The emperor was seriously ill and the empress dowager passed away. Either of these two events would be a huge event if taken alone, let alone they happened at the same time today.

Princes, dukes and other relatives of the Aisin-Gioro clan rushed to the scene upon hearing the news. Those who were not of sufficient rank stood in front of the Taihe Gate. Prince Heng and Prince Yi had been waiting in the Yangxin Palace for a long time, and Prince Lu, who had always lived in seclusion, rushed over from the temple at full speed.

Prince Lu was the twelfth prince. He was raised by Sumalagu since childhood. He had a Buddhist nature and was indifferent. Later generations jokingly called him the Suona Prince or the Funeral Prince.

He lived a long life and handled the funerals of three generations.

The princes met and exchanged greetings for a while.

Yinzhen had been sleeping uneasily to begin with, so he rested for a while and woke up after the effect of the medicine wore off.

As expected, what greeted him when he woke up was Su Fei's old face.

"..."

"Your Majesty! You are awake, Your Majesty!"

I don't really want to wake up.

But Su Peisheng didn't know what Yinzhen was thinking, and he continued to approach him attentively, asking in a low voice, "The princes are here, do you have any instructions?"

"Let them in."

The princes outside had already asked the imperial physician about Yinzhen's physical condition. The imperial physician Akundun did not tell the truth. He only said that it was due to excessive fatigue and excessive liver fire, which rushed to the brain and caused a short period of coma. If he rested more and took good care of himself for half a year, he would surely recover.

The brothers who were able to be kept as princes were naturally kind and wished the best for Yinzhen. When they heard the good news, they naturally put their minds at ease.

After the meeting, no one asked about physical issues, just made arrangements and inquired about business matters.

After all, at this age, the brothers all know what they are most taboo about.

Seeing that his brothers were all smiling, Yinzhen finally felt relieved. He listened to them talking about the changes in the court and the palace during the hours when he was unconscious, and he made a plan and arrangement in his mind.

Prince Heng is old and kind. He was raised by Empress Xiaohuizhang since he was a child and has great prestige among clan members and court officials. He is kind-hearted and fat and treats his brothers very kindly. He will not seek power, which makes Yinzhen feel at ease.

Needless to say, Prince Yi was his 'real' brother whom he wished he could swap places with the Fourteenth Prince. He was tragically implicated in the incident of deposing the Crown Prince, which made him extremely sad. Over the years, he had been working diligently to share his worries despite his illness. At times like this, Prince Yi was the brother whom he could trust and rely on the most.

"Fifth Brother, Thirteenth Brother, you two should work harder and take care of the court officials, settle the previous dynasty, supervise the country and review the memorials on my behalf. If it is not a major matter, you should handle it yourself. I... after this, I am afraid I need to rest for a few days."

"My brother accepts the order."

Prince Lu's relationship with Yinzhen was not very close, but he knew that the Twelfth Prince was indifferent to everyone and had considerable experience in funeral arrangements.

"Twelfth brother, I'll leave the Queen Mother's funeral to you. I really have the will but not the ability.

I, upon hearing of the passing of the Empress Dowager, was so grief-stricken and haggard that I no longer had the strength to see her one last time.

I hope my dear brother will do everything for me and lead the concubines, descendants, clan relatives, and court officials and wives to prepare for the funeral ceremony.

It’s just that Consort Yi in the palace is pregnant with twins, and I am also seriously ill, so I can’t observe mourning for the Empress Dowager, so I can only replace the days with months, a total of thirty-six days, and everything... is arranged simply. "

"Your Highness will obey your Majesty's will."

Because of Yinzhen's tone, it seems that he is talking about his feelings. These brothers have lived to this age and no matter how simple-minded they are, they have become wily and experienced.

Prince Heng said,

"I have already taken the initiative to arrange all the funeral ceremonies.

When Lord Emin heard the bad news from the palace, he brought his wife, Princess Shushen, to the palace two hours later. Seeing that the emperor was still resting, he entrusted the matter to me, your brother. "

"What's going on?"

"Lord Emin said that although the Queen Mother's funeral is the Emperor's family affair, it is also a state affair.

My wife and Concubine Yi had many misunderstandings and conflicts with the Empress Dowager. Now they can only add some yellow and white items to the Empress Dowager's funeral to express their guilt.

Your Majesty, there are two hundred thousand taels of silver in the box, which is the profit share of Guarjia clan's maritime transport last year."

The Guwalja clan's maritime transport had been under the management of the Imperial Household Department three years ago.

Although it was still operated by the Guaerjia family, 50% of the profits went into the Imperial Household Department, which was the national treasury, 20% went into the emperor's private treasury, and the remaining 30% went to the Guaerjia family.

The accounts are backed up in Yinzhen and the Imperial Household Department.

Yinzhen knew exactly how much profit the Guwalgiya family made in a year by just doing some addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

This two hundred thousand... is indeed their entire year's income last year. Even if they don't count the labor wages, ship maintenance and other expenses, they still have to add another three thousand two hundred taels of silver to it.

This, this is my loyal and faithful minister.

He never thought about asking for any benefits from the royal family, but only wanted to serve the country and share my worries.

The rest are all nonsense!

It’s so bad. It’s so bad.

"It's Emin's gift, so just accept it.

However, the Queen Mother disliked extravagance during her lifetime, and now the funeral ceremony is even simpler.

Of this money, you are to take 50,000 taels and give them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the remaining 150,000 taels can be turned into rice, oil, eggs, vegetables, fruits and other food, and distributed to the good people in the capital.

After all, it is the filial piety of Concubine Yi's family, which concerns the reputation of the royal family, clan members and the Eight Banners. I will not allow any mistakes in it."

"Yes."

After seeing Yinzhen's arrangement, the three princes began to think about it.

The emperor is building up momentum for Concubine Yi.

However, this was originally the money raised by Concubine Yi's family, so there was nothing wrong with spending it this way. No mistakes were allowed, which meant no corruption or deductions in the process.

In a righteous sense, it is for the Queen Mother’s funeral and her posthumous reputation, but in reality...right?

"But the Emperor has one more thing..."

"The eunuch I sent to the Old Summer Palace brought back some bad news."

Going to the Old Summer Palace was to invite the Fourth Prince. After all, as the grandson of the Emperor, he should come back to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, but...

"What happened to the Fourth Prince?"

"He, he... is infected with a contagious disease. It is not appropriate for this filthy body to return to the palace at this time."

"..."

If he had heard this kind of news in the past, Yinzhen would have smashed a cup or overturned a table, which would have been unworthy of his bad temper. But since the incident happened today, how can he describe it?

I'm tired and indifferent to it. Let it be.

So he drank the tea that Su Peisheng handed over and said,

"Oh, he is seriously ill and won't live long. Please arrange for someone to take him there."
