The old man in the imperial city

In terms of government affairs, it is not difficult for the emperor, imperial concubine and concubines to work together. Coordinating the relationship between the Manchu and Han Dynasties, the pre-Ming rebellion and chaos that occurred in an orderly manner, that is, the frequent fraud cases in the Jiangnan imperial examinations. .

Oboi was under the pressure of a powerful emperor, and was sent to the south to fight the Taiwan Strait early on. His military achievements were outstanding, but he was unable to return to Beijing. He was still serving as a military governor in Hainan, so it was difficult for the capital to gain power.

The emperor freed up his hands to deal with the San Francisco, which took a bit of trouble.Wu Sangui was very guilty of being a thief too many times. It has been more than seven years, and none of the people sent by the emperor have been able to get close.

In the spring of the 22nd year of Shunzhi, a bout of acne spread from the suburbs of Beijing.The emperor issued a strict decree to avoid acne, closed the city gate, and detained several princes in the Qianqing Palace for several days to discuss disaster relief and disaster avoidance.

It was just at this time that I suddenly heard that the fifth elder brother fainted after vomiting in Chengqian Palace. The imperial doctor saw it and said it was a joy!

The teacup in the emperor's hand was brittle at that time, and Prince An was accompanying him at the time. Seeing this, he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, take care, the body of the dragon is more important."

Yinzhen turned a deaf ear to it, and kept shouting to drive Chengqian Palace.

Prince An knew well that the emperor had never had flowers, so he immediately knelt and hugged the emperor's leg to protest, and Ji Du also quickly knelt down and hugged the emperor's thigh from left to right.

The emperor was irritated and kept yelling for them to let go, when a young eunuch came back and said that the imperial concubine had sealed Chengqian Palace, and sacrificed the Zhonggong Notes, begging the emperor not to put himself in danger.

Even using the Zhonggong Jianzuo, Yinzhen knew that Lao Ba was determined, even if he went to Chengqian Palace, he would not be able to enter the gate.What's more, the queen mother is also in the palace, I am afraid that it will be a dissuasion as soon as she leaves the Qianqing palace.

The emperor walked back and forth violently in the Qianqing Palace. All the imperial doctors knelt in front of the main hall to plead guilty and waited for orders. The imperial physician had already entered the Chengqian Palace. Of course, the emperor meant that he could only come out if the people inside were alive.

The sixth princess is only one year old, and she was also sealed in with the Chengqian Palace, but the latest news is that the sixth princess can eat and sleep, and has no fever.The emperor lost his temper and wanted to pick up the sixth princess, but everyone from the queen mother to the imperial concubine disagreed.

Yinzhen felt that his heart and liver were crushed, and he forgot to bring it out in Chengqian Palace.Why did you say goodbye to people with a smile in the morning, but in a blink of an eye, a wall was blocked?

At night, Yinzhen had already begun to wonder whether this matter would have anything to do with the Queen Mother's return to the palace?How could it be such a coincidence?

Then the worse news came to the palace, the Nine Cities patrolling people also found signs of flowering in the Nine Cities, and they were all sent to the hospital designated by the government.

The Forbidden City is in danger, the east and west palaces have received orders not to go out privately, and the concubines of elder brothers and princesses must close the palace gates and follow the instructions of the Imperial Hospital. After all this is done, the emperor said: "I am going to Chengqian Palace Let Prince An act as an agent for government affairs. Important confidential documents are smoked with vinegar and medicine and thrown in through the crack of the door every day. Prince An, Prince Jane, Suke Saha, and Ye Bilong, you should also pay attention Your own safety."

Of course Prince An and others refused to leave, they knelt down and begged the emperor to put the country and society first.In the end, the little eunuch of the Qianqing Palace secretly passed the word to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and the queen mother came with a mighty palace of slaves and servants, and said that if the emperor committed a personal danger, the queen mother would go to kneel and worship the first hall. When will the emperor be safe? When will she come out again.

Yinzhen was about to burst into tears, and finally, under his repeated request, the queen mother allowed the emperor to speak to Chengqian Palace from a distance of three feet.

Surrounded by the entire imperial hospital, the emperor stood outside Chengqian Palace and shouted to the inside: "Are you okay?"

A woman's soft smiling face appeared on the far side of the wall, and she also stood far away and shouted: "I'm fine, the emperor knows that I have acne, and I'm worrying about it."

The emperor made up his mind, he almost forgot about this, and then he freed his mind to ask something else: "Is Mu Ningqi okay?"

The imperial concubine replied: "The imperial doctors are all doing their duty, the emperor puts his heart in his stomach."

The emperor asked again: "Has Xidan ever cried?"

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "I cry every day, and laugh after crying. Xi Dan is blessed, the emperor can rest assured."

The emperor choked up, he really wanted to ask Lao Ba how are you?Can you hold it?But even if you ask Lao Ba in full view, he won't tell the truth.Yinzhen also wanted to say, son, leave it alone, come out, I don't know if you're not here, but he doesn't seem to be able to say such a thing.

The emperor has always been a person full of emotions, and when he meets his confidant, he will sway without reservation.Hearing the words just now, everyone present had mixed reactions, and of course more people made up their minds to kill the people in Chengqian Palace.

Yinhu knew that talking about it would only increase the number of enemies, so he said: "The emperor, come back, don't come again. If you have this skill, it's better to take a breather in Qianqing Palace, the dragon body is important."

Yinzhen still had to bargain, and Yinhu said again: "Don't let me always distract you from comforting the emperor, or the fifth elder brother will get well, and the emperor is tired and sick again."

When Xu Zhen heard the words, he immediately looked around, seeing more or less hostility in his eyes.

He can't fall, if he falls at this time, the previous efforts with Lao Ba will be in vain, the queen mother will definitely not let the fifth elder brother ascend the throne.

The next ten days were extremely difficult, the emperor never went out in the Qianqing Palace, and he couldn't help thinking wildly when he was not doing government affairs.

When he imprisoned Lao Ba in the clan's mansion, he didn't go to see it in person, and he didn't know anything until he died.In this life, the world is reincarnated, and a high wall keeps the old eight circles inside.

This time he was afraid.

The emperor survived Shunzhi for 18 years, and Yinhu used Dong E's body and even gave birth to him a daughter after that.These made him think that he would be able to grow old with his elders in peace and stability, let go of government affairs, and finally enjoy his grandchildren.

Who knows that fate will come back here after going round and round

If his son dies, he will admit it, and this is fate.

But does it mean that he will die young too?He really wanted to know if Lao Ba would be as sad as him if he died suddenly.

Rationally speaking, he hoped that Lao Ba could be the Empress Dowager and listen to the government behind the curtain before Mu Ningqi came to power.But he will have such a corner in his heart, hoping that Lao Ba will follow him regardless of everything.

And Lao Ba is always soft-hearted, I don't know if he is ruthless to kill the Queen Mother.Unable to stop his wild thoughts, the emperor simply spread out the silk cloth and began to draft the will.In the past, he always felt that it was still early, Mu Ningqi was still young, and that day was still far away.Who knew that this day would come so suddenly.

In Chengqian Palace, Yinhu guarded his son without distraction.

Ever since he met Xi, he has always been concerned about the body of Emperor Shizu, and after discussing with the fourth child, he handed over the matter to the imperial physician who had seen him before, and he was investigating privately.

Since giving birth to Mu Ningqi, he was always worried that Mu Ningqi would not be able to survive, so he had always been on guard.It's just that the imperial physician is not sure that the ancient formula can heal acne, and has never used it on the fifth elder brother.

The scabs on the fifth prince's body have shriveled and turned white, and he is also unconscious and critically ill.

Holding the wine pot and cup in his hands, the imperial doctor was wondering: "Madam, do you want to ask the emperor?"

Yinhu gritted his teeth and said, "No need, just use spirits. I'll take care of anything. Is the cactus ready? Apply it too."

The imperial physician stopped talking after hearing the words, and stepped forward to mix human milk into the spirits, and fed the unconscious Fifth Prince into his mouth bit by bit.This is a folk prescription recorded in "The Record of Righteousness", and the imperial physician specially added human milk in order to heal toxins and heal sores.

The fifth elder brother soon became drunk, and kept raving in high fever.

Yinhu kept wiping his body and sweating all night long, and the imperial physician was taking his pulse every quarter.It lasted until the morning, when the imperial physician said joyfully, "It's coming out, the fifth prince's acne has started to show up, it's a good omen!"

Yinhu stepped forward to inspect it, and regardless of his fatigue, he said happily: "Hurry up, let someone tell the emperor! Forget it, let's wait a little longer, wait for the fifth elder brother to be more peaceful, and then report to the outside world. Now you are not allowed to report a word." Confidential!"

Then Yinhu asked the imperial physician carefully what to do next.The imperial doctor said: "The next step is the three stages of grout filling, dimple reduction, and scab removal. The fifth elder brother is young, and the fainting is because the poisonous evil cannot go beyond the outside, but it is trapped inside and attacks the heart. Now the spirit is holding the pox poison outside It can be regarded as returning to life. Fortunately, the mother had acne in the early years, and the fifth elder brother may be suitable for this, and the acne is not densely covered all over, but the next step of grouting is very easy to shock the heat, and the wound must be scrubbed with strong alcohol and changed clothes. "

Yinhu raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard the words: "I have to live with this, and I know how to do it. Green seat, you do it, don't be negligent."

……

The catastrophe in Chengqian Palace was under the strong suppression of the imperial concubine, except for the initial panic, there was no slight embarrassment as if facing an enemy.It was rare for the emperor to sit still in the Qianqing Palace except for that one gaffe, and he didn't want to share the joys and sorrows with his concubine anymore.

The Empress Dowager's attitude towards Chengqian Palace changed slightly. The old man hated shameless women who seduced his son from doing business, but he was still willing to take a look at the daughter-in-law who knew the general idea.

The fact that Chengqian Palace is sealed does not mean that the two giants in the palace also closed their eyes. Both the emperor and the empress dowager ordered people to track down the people who entered and left Chengqian Palace a few days before the fifth elder brother fainted. It shouldn't be said that you are happy when you see it.

Soon the eyes of the two big mountains in the harem were all focused on Jingren Palace, who would benefit the most from the loss of Fifth Elder Brother?

Before the emperor made a move this time, the queen mother took advantage of the opportunity to block the east and west six palaces, and used the excuse that a servant girl in Concubine Tong's palace was also sick, so that the third elder brother who lived in the elder brother's house would not be allowed to pay concubine Tong's peace.In addition, the person who served the third elder brother also changed inexplicably, and I heard that Haha Zhuzi, who came in from the Tong family next to the third elder brother, also died of joy.

When the emperor heard about this, he knew that he didn't need to bother to verify it.Because at this time, the news from Chengqian Palace was delivered one after another, each time getting better and better.

For a whole month, Chengqian Palace closed the palace gates and could only enter.After waiting for the imperial doctor to announce that the fifth elder brother's acne had recovered, it was closed for ten days before opening the palace gates. Except for the four servants who served the fifth elder brother who also contracted the acne and died three of them, the rest were all safe.

The queen mother said something she often said to the imperial concubine who came to thank her: "You are very good, and the fifth elder brother is also a blessing." Only this time, she was more sincere.

This night, the emperor held his younger brother's hand in private for a long time in silence.

Just when Yinhu thought that the emperor was going to say something like "you have worked hard", "you have been tired this time", or "you have lost weight", the emperor spoke.

"I have drawn up the will."
