Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

In all fairness, Mingshang's embezzlement of money is no more than that of Nalan Mingzhu or Suo'etu, but the papers that participated in his performance happened to be handed in at the time when the Empress Dowager died of illness and Kangxi was in the worst mood. There is no way to intercede with his son-in-law intentionally, but he can only watch Mingshang being accused and executed, his daughter's happy and happy family is shattered, and she has changed from Heshuogege to a widow, and she died of depression not long after.

"I heard that Prince An took the girl from Guo Luoluo's family to be raised in the palace?" An He was wearing a moon-white plain pipa lapel vest with rabbit fur inlaid on his body, with a small hand stove in his hands, and turned his head to one side. Madam Wanyan asked, "What did the second sibling say?"

At the end of the year, Tong gave birth to a son for Yan Zhu, and now he is confinement, but because of the empress dowager's filial piety, it is inconvenient to come to the palace.The slaves and maids in the palace can meet with their families at the gate of the palace once a month, so Anhe ordered Madam Wanyan to contact Liao Shi, the confidant mama sent by Tong Shi, every once in a while, so as to inquire about news outside the palace at any time. .

"After Guo Luoluo's little Gege was taken into the palace, everything was fine, and Prince An's palace didn't say anything harmful to the emperor." Madam Wanyan replied, "Now that Prince An is closing the door to thank guests, anyone can come to ask for an audience." They all refused to see."

"With the care of Prince An, Guo Luoluo's life will be easier." An He's fingers unconsciously traced the pattern of begonia flowers on the stove cover, "Originally there was a general election this year, but the national filial piety period must be postponed. It's time for my mother-in-law to throw cups and bowls again."

A Ling'a will be seventeen this year, and it should be the time to discuss marriage. Originally, the Bayara family wanted to choose a daughter-in-law with a good appearance, good family background, good housekeeping skills from this year's show girls, but now it's all in vain. up.Mrs. Tong also told An He that Bayara's attitude towards their daughters-in-law had changed a lot this year, and she wanted to ask Mrs. Tong to enter the palace to talk to An He about it. Ah Ling Ah Xiang sees a good girl.

"Back then, Fujin treated Chu Fujin like this, but now he still has the face to ask the master to come forward." Madam Wanyan said, "Fifth Master has been on duty in the outer shift for the past two years, and has never been transferred to the inner shift. I am afraid that Fujin will also It's time to get angry. I heard from Nanny Liao that Di Fujin still wants to ask the master to let the fifth master be transferred back to the inner squad." Although they are all serving as imperial guards by the emperor's side, the inner squad is protecting the emperor personally. Ban is only responsible for patrolling the periphery of Qianqing Palace.When the emperor approached, once the guards of the internal class were favored by the emperor, high-ranking officials and nobles would be picked up at will. Wasn't Cao Yin of the Cao family just like that?

"She didn't have the face to come into the palace to beg me face to face, but she beat around the bush and asked Yan Zhu's daughter-in-law to come. With her attitude, why should I help her." Why don't you think that An He is the noble concubine in the palace, and now she is salivating and begging An He for help, do you really think that An He will be so disregarding the past?

"Then you don't need to pay attention to it, master." Madam Wanyan persuaded, "Master has been busy this month, and he has lost a lot of weight. Now that the emperor has recovered from his illness, and the empress dowager is gradually getting better, master should also take care of himself." Taking care of yourself is the only thing. The Empress Debi has been handed over to Concubine Tong to take care of her, so the master can relax a bit."

"The Empress Dowager has not passed a hundred days, how can she relax so quickly? Now that Concubine Zhang Jiashu is pregnant again, I can't relax even more." An He put the hand stove on the table.Zhang Jia's baby was only diagnosed after she passed out while keeping vigil for the Empress Dowager, and it was almost three months old.Zhang Jia didn't notice it herself, she has been serving the Empress Dowager for a while, so that the baby has been very weak, and now she has to lie down in the dormitory to recuperate.

After Kangxi recovered from his illness, his mood seemed to calm down a lot, and he gave the Empress Dowager the most respected posthumous title: Xiaozhuang Renxuan Chengxian Gongyiyi Tianqi Shengwen Queen.No matter how mournful or sad.This day must go on.

In mid-February, Depin successfully gave birth to an elder brother in Yonghe Palace.Since it was inappropriate to celebrate wildly, An He only asked someone to give a congratulatory gift, and then went to Yonghe Palace to comfort her a few words and let it go.Debi also knew that this was not the right time to celebrate the birth of the little elder brother, so she had no complaints about the three baptisms arranged by An He in a low-key manner.On the contrary, Yinzhen was very curious about the newborn younger brother, and when he had free time, he ran back to the Yonghe Palace to visit his younger brother, but his relationship with Debi grew stronger.

Yinxuan was wearing a Buddha-blue uniform and gown, with only a pair of suet jade pendants hanging on his belt around his waist, and short, fluffy hair growing out of his half-moon head.The empress dowager's filial piety period has not yet passed, and the princes and elder brothers are not allowed to shave their heads. An He looked at the layer of hair on his son's head and couldn't help but reach out to touch it.

Counting it, Yin'er has also reached the age to go to elder brother's office.If things hadn't happened a while ago, Kangxi should have issued an order long ago.

"Er Niang has lost a lot of weight." Yinzuo looked at An He's face and said something after a long time.

"I've been busy recently, so it doesn't matter." An He took the newly made vest and compared it to Yinxuan's body, and said after confirming that the size was correct, "This dress was originally intended for you to wear when you took riding and archery lessons. , but you are not suitable for wearing such patterned clothes now, let the mother put them away for you first."

"My son knows." Yinzuo said with a smile, "Son will stay tonight and have dinner with Emiang. Where did the tenth brother go?"

"Still sleeping in the house." An He also looked helpless when he thought of his younger son who was becoming more and more chubby. Yinzhen had already lost weight when he was five years old. It's so round that it doesn't look like An He or Kangxi at all.

"Still sleeping?" Yinxuan rolled his eyes, "My son wakes him up, and if he sleeps again, he won't be able to get on the horse."

Yin'e was still pouting and rubbing her eyes when Yinzuo pulled her to Anhe, and when she saw Anhe sitting on the couch drinking tea leisurely, she rushed over and "cryed" to Anhe that Yinzuo didn't like her. All kinds of "bad habits" of putting him to sleep and pinching his nose to wake him up.For that realistic acting, it would be even better if there were two more tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.

An He pinched Yin'er's chubby little face, smiled and asked Feihong to bring hot water, twisted the handkerchief to clean his face and wipe his hands, but did not "condemn" Yinxuan with him.

Yinxuan snorted and said, "If you sleep again, you will gain weight. You are chubby in the first place. If you fail in riding and archery in the future, maybe others will laugh at you."

"How come, I hunted little rabbits for Er Niang!" Yin'e raised her head and chest, her belly under her clothes became more and more obvious.

Yinxuan sneered: "Those rabbits can only be shot by me pulling the bow for you, and it is still my credit!"

Bi Yinxuan explained this little secret to the blunt, and Yin'e yelled "Wow" twice and rushed over to cover Yinxuan's mouth with her hand, but she was so small and short that she couldn't reach it no matter how she jumped.He thought for a while, then hurriedly kicked off the boots on his feet and climbed onto the warm couch, pressed on Yinxuan's body, and deliberately twisted his buttocks twice.

"You're dead!" Yinxuan felt a stronger force than when Yin'e kicked him back then, and quickly told him to lift him up and put it aside, "I almost couldn't breathe."

Yin'e grinned and hummed twice, then turned to ask An He for some snacks coquettishly.

"You two are such a pair of treasures." An He shook his head helplessly, but the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

Yinxuan and Yin'e looked at each other, and each nodded secretly.It was not in vain for them to entertain their relatives in colorful clothes, and finally made Eniang smile.

The embezzlement of Mingshang also involved Suzhou Weaving's acceptance of bribes. Kangxi was not relentless. He dismissed the original Suzhou Weaving for the crime of Mingshang, and promoted Cao Yin, who had just graduated from filial piety, to be the post of Suzhou Weaving.There was a lot of turmoil in the court, but this time the turmoil did not subside.

On March 22, for the first time, Guo Xiu reported to the imperial court in his capacity as a supervisory censor, stating that Jin Fu, the governor of the river, had embezzled funds for river control with the support of the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Fulun, which caused the Jiangnan area to be trapped in floods for a long time, and the people complained. .As a result, Jin Fu was dismissed from office, Fu Lun was demoted, officials on the river were sacked one after another, and Guo Xiu was promoted to be the censor of the capital.

Putting Jin Fu aside, Fu Lun is the core figure in the Pearl Party. Guo Xiu's participation in the performance caused the Pearl Party to lose an important member in an instant.After being dismissed, Jin Fu could only return to his hometown with his wife and children to hide his identity. Fu Lun was transferred to the Ministry of Industry and demoted to Yuanwailang, and a dignified first-rank official was demoted to a fifth-rank official. endlessly.

Because the elder brother served the most filial piety in front of Kangxi, he finally joined the Ministry of War after the beginning of the new year, but the officials at the top had obtained the secret order of Kangxi not to give in to him at will, so the eldest elder brother could not be reckless and arrogant, and felt aggrieved One can imagine.After a boring day at the military department, the elder brother just returned to the elder brother's office when he was overwhelmed by the great news - Da Fujin is happy!

"Da Fujin is happy?" An He paused slightly with the hand holding the pen, "How many months?"

"It's been two months." Jinxiu replied.

two months?Wasn't that conceived in January?An He put down the Zihao pen in his hand.In January, it was still the Empress Dowager's hundred days, not to mention my brothers, even Kangxi himself abstained from alcohol, meat and women, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha every day to concentrate on keeping filial piety for the Empress Dowager.Eldest elder brother has the ability, while pretending to be filial in front of the emperor, at the same time he had a "life" fight with Da Fujin at elder brother's place.

"Does the emperor know?" An He asked after wiping his hands with the handkerchief.

"I heard that elder brother has personally reported the good news to the emperor." Jinxiu said.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to face this son."

How to face it?Kangxi wanted to smash this unfilial son to death with a paperweight right now. Seeing his eldest son's complacent appearance, he wondered for the first time whether his eldest son had really learned a crooked way. A right decision.Before he had time to say anything, Li Dequan hurried in, holding an ebony box in his hand.

Kangxi recognized that it was the information from the Mongolian scouts, waved his hand to signal the big brother to go back quickly, and then opened the box to take a look, and he was immediately furious.The scouts lurking in Mongolia reported that the great Khan Galdan of the Junggar tribe led [-] cavalry to attack Khalkha and occupied the entire Khalkha tribe.King Khalkha Khan and his eldest son died in a fierce battle, and the rest of the tribe fled to Ujimqin in Monan.

"Go and call Prince Yu, Tong Guogang, Tong Guowei and all the ministers of the Ministry of War!" Kangxi has no time to take care of his eldest son's affairs, so he quickly called all the ministers to discuss state affairs.The Junggar tribe also calculated that the Qing emperor would keep his filial piety for the empress dowager who died of illness, and was slightly lax about Mongolian affairs, so they won with one blow.

The tense atmosphere in the air is getting stronger, and the war is imminent.
