[Qing] Empress Xiao Chengren Reborn

Zhujin was already hungry, so she was not polite, she brought the bowl of vegetarian noodle soup to her front, picked up a spoon, scooped some balls and chaotic noodles into it, and then ate the sweet and sour pork ribs.

It was too greasy to eat pork ribs early in the morning, but she didn't touch any meat last night, the little meat she ate for lunch had already been digested, and the sweet and sour pork ribs were sweet but not greasy, very refreshing, She also ate happily.

It’s October now, and it’s long past the tenderest season of lotus seeds. Zhu Jin didn’t like to eat lotus seeds, but in those years of modern life, her mother in that life loved to eat lotus seeds. In summer, she directly peeled lotus seeds Eating lotus seeds, in autumn, when the lotus pods are old and the lotus seeds are hard, her mother will eat lotus seeds as a side dish for cooking. This sweet and sour pork ribs with lotus seeds is her mother's specialty dish.

The lotus seeds produced in this way are also very sweet, but they are no longer hard to chew, but very tender and chewy, and the taste will become better.

People like Zhujin who don't like to eat lotus seeds, after her mother treated lotus seeds like this, Zhujin loves to eat sweet and sour lotus seed pork ribs very much.

As long as Zhujin doesn't dine with Xuan Ye, when she dines alone, she doesn't need to be served by eunuchs, even if she wants to try first, she only needs Ruqing and Ruxiang around her to do this.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Jin was eating happily here, but Xuan Ye, who closed his eyes and dozed off over there, was so tempted by the aroma of the food that he couldn't lie down anymore. He had a splitting headache because of a hangover in the morning, and he didn't have a good breakfast. I used it, now smelling the aroma of food, I feel a little hungry for no reason, got up and came over to look at the brocade, and found that she was eating very happily, for a while, he also wanted to eat with her...

"emperor?"

Zhu Jin looked at Xuan Ye who sat down to eat with her in astonishment, for a moment he was at a loss, didn't he have a splitting headache?Why do I have an appetite and want to eat?

"I'm hungry, seeing how delicious your food is, I'll come over and eat with you."

Xuan Ye smiled at her, said no more, and ate the sugar steamed egg custard, the two plates of pea yolk and crab cake, and the half bowl of chaotic soup with meatballs she had left, as well. Usually, after eating all those dishes, I clean my hands with satisfaction.

It was rare to see Zhu Jin stunned, Xuan Ye chuckled lightly, and felt that the headache eased a little after eating, so he took Zhu Jin's hand and led her into the inner room, then got on the couch and lay down, Pat on the side and asked Zhu Jin to sit beside him and accompany him, "The imperial doctor said that it would be good if I could eat, but now I feel better, Ah Jin, sit with me and talk."

Zhu Jin sat down as she said, and after seeing Xuan Ye finished saying these words, she closed her eyes and ignored her, she was too lazy to speak first, and just sat there silently, her eyes glanced at all the decorations in the inner room , fell on Xuan Ye's face involuntarily.

She was looking at Xuan Ye with fascination, but Xuan Ye said: "When the late emperor left, the four auxiliary ministers all swore an oath before the late emperor. They would assist me with one heart, serve me wholeheartedly, and be loyal to the court. , if there is a dissent, it will be destroyed in the sky. It has only been a few years of work, and everything has changed."

Xuan Ye's voice was not loud, but Zhu Jin who was sitting next to him could hear clearly, Zhu Jin didn't speak, and thought, looking at Xuan Ye like this, could it be that he wants to talk to her?Because she didn't know what Xuan Ye wanted to express, Zhu Jin didn't speak hastily, but just listened silently.

Then I heard Xuanye say again: "I know that people's hearts are changeable, no matter who they are, they will have selfishness. The emperor's grandmother once told me that she believed that the moment the four of them swore in front of the late emperor, they were indeed Sincerely, it is true that they are all of one mind, but it changed later, and it is normal. After all, even the brothers of the same clan sometimes cannot be of the same mind, let alone such four people? It is impossible for them to assist me wholeheartedly. Time can only care about whose sincerity is more."

Zhu Jin didn't understand why Xuan Ye wanted to tell her these things, and because Xuan Ye's words involved Sony, it was inconvenient for her to discuss them. Still unwilling to speak hastily.

After Xuanye said these words, he thought he would get Zhujin's answer, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear a word from her. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Zhujin was looking at him very clearly. , but there was also confusion in his eyes, and he knew why Zhujin was confused when he turned his mind.

Immediately pulled his lips slightly, and said: "There are some things that I can't even say to the emperor's grandmother, but I'm really bored in my heart. I'll just tell you today. Even if you can't explain it to me, it's good to be a listener. It saves me from having to endure hard work. Besides, you have extraordinary knowledge, and I still trust you. If I speak frankly with you, you should speak frankly with me."

The emperor's grandmother has educated him since the day he ascended the throne, taught him how to become a qualified emperor, and invited him to teach him from the great Confucians of Manchurian, Mongolian and Han cultures. Among his Kaimeng teachers, it can be said that the emperor's grandmother also occupied a place, but This also doesn't allow him to talk about everything with the imperial grandmother. In front of the imperial grandmother, there are some things he can say and some things he cannot say. He understood this truth from the very beginning.

For example, what he wants to say now, he can't say it to the imperial grandmother, let alone the courtiers, let alone the servants. After thinking about it, he can only say it to Zhujin. He still remembers , Didn't she say that?To be his confidant, he believed in Zhujin, he thought, these words should be able to be said to her.

"What does the emperor want to say? My concubine is listening."

There is nothing left and right, Xuanye is not going out for a horse race today, so she naturally doesn't have to go out, and hearing Xuanye talk about the assistant minister, Zhujin guessed that Xuanye probably wanted to talk about Oboi, she did I also want to know what Xuan Ye is thinking in his heart.

"What I said just now is what I have learned in the past two years. It's ridiculous that when I was young, when I first ascended the throne, I believed in these four assistant ministers, especially Oboi."

Xuanye closed his eyes again, talking about the past, he couldn't distinguish the feeling in his heart, but he didn't want Zhujin to see the look in his eyes, "When I ascended the throne, Sony was old, and I only saw his maturity and prudence, Suksaha Needless to say, Ye Bilong and Ye Bilong are all old ministers who were praised by the late emperor. These three people do not act high-profile in front of me, and they are quite respectful to me. Only Du Aobai, since I ascended the throne, he often intentionally or unintentionally Showing off his martial arts in front of me, the title of the number one warrior in Manchuria is really engraved in my heart."

"When I was young, it was the time when I worshiped heroes. Oboi was like this. I admired him very much in my heart. I thought he was a great hero in Manchuria. I even set him as the goal and practiced hard. Riding and archery, I just want to be like him one day, so that I once gave up my studies because of it."

Talking about the past, Xuan Ye thought of those crazy years again, and couldn't help sighing, "This matter later alarmed the emperor's grandmother. The emperor's grandmother came to look for me and asked me why I was like this. The late emperor asked me and my second elder brother what they wanted to do in the future, and I said of course I remembered, and the emperor's grandmother said, since I remembered, why did the emperor want to be a reckless man like that Oboi? At that time, what the emperor's grandmother said was really like A bucket of cold water was poured on me, and I woke up immediately."

When the late emperor was around, he and Fuquan were asked what they wanted to be when they grew up.

Fuquan was older than him. He remembered Fuquan answering that he wanted to be a good king. After hearing this answer, the late emperor laughed and said that Fuquan's answer satisfied him. Later, the late emperor asked him how he grew up. what do you want to do

Xuan Ye remembered very clearly that he looked at the late emperor and said that he would like to follow the example of his father and be a good emperor for the people.

After hearing his answer, the late emperor just smiled and did not speak, but there was relief in his eyes, and the way he looked at him was very different from usual. After a long time, he vaguely heard the late emperor sighed to himself. , it is not easy to be an emperor, but the third elder brother has great ambitions.

Later the emperor's grandmother asked him what he said, and he suddenly remembered the scene when the late emperor talked to him and the second elder brother. He has already ascended the throne, and he wants to rule the world. In the world, it is enough to be proficient in riding and archery. There is really no need to use martial arts to move the world like Oboi, and there is no need to care about the name of Batulu. What the emperor's grandmother said was right, he can't be a mere A reckless man who knows martial arts, he is the emperor, he has a lot to learn, not just riding and archery.

"Later, the emperor's grandmother told me that Oboi was a big-hearted person. She said that sooner or later I would be in charge, and told me to learn to listen more and see more. Oboi is a hero, but he should not be a hero in my eyes. , I listened to the words of the emperor's grandmother, and looked at it with a sinking heart, and it really made me see the quarrels between the auxiliary ministers who should be in the same heart."

"It's also a good thing that the emperor can get advice from the empress dowager and come to his senses."

If Xuanye didn't have Xiaozhuang's support and assistance when he was young, I'm afraid that the throne would be even more unstable. In such a day, just thinking about Zhujin would feel that the sword is at stake.

"I also thought the same way. I thought that as long as I recognized Oboi clearly, I would be able to get rid of him when the time came after I took office. I didn't realize that my thinking was too simple. People are always greedy. I don't want to He wanted to move him, but he himself wanted to go one step further. Oboi had a great desire for power, and he was unwilling to be subservient to the three assistant ministers. He always wanted to do something to make people recognize his methods. In this way, they formed cliques and seized power for personal gain."

Xuan Ye said, "Even the guards beside me, he can change as he wants, kill as he wants!"

In the third year of Kangxi, Fei Yanggu's son Wohe and other inner palace guards were killed because they rode the imperial horse. Obai didn't even wait for the assistant ministers to agree on how to deal with it, so he went directly to the inner palace and executed him. According to this, most of the guards in the inner palace and Xuan Ye's side were replaced. This was a deep pain in Xuan Ye's heart. He was ashamed that he, as the emperor, could not protect his own guards, and he was even more ashamed of Oboi's self-righteous seizure of power. Angry, but there was nothing he could do, even when the emperor's grandmother learned about this, she only told him that right now he could do nothing but endure.

This patience, I have endured until now!

"Oboi is getting more and more over the top now, you saw it yesterday when he was camping, how can he still see me as the emperor?!"

Xuan Ye couldn't help getting angry when he said this, he got up and said angrily, "The imperial grandmother told me to endure, but I couldn't bear it anymore! Last night, Oboi made provocative words, but I couldn't bear it, so I competed with him for wine, he drank deer blood, I have also drank deer blood, even if I am drunk, I think it is better than shrinking my head and not daring to answer! He insulted me when I was young, he has lost his duty as a courtier!"

Xuanye turned to look at Zhujin, and said word by word: "I can tell you that the formation of the Buku team is not as simple as it seems on the surface. I want to get rid of Oboi, and I want to take charge of the government in advance!"
