[Comprehensive] God, give me a man!
Chapter 80
The Nala clan, the clan of the elder brother Yinyi's mother and concubine, is also the clan of Yinzhen's side blessing.
Xiao Qiduan sat in the bedroom of the chief of the Nala clan, with a calm expression, as if he didn't think there was any problem with a woman appearing in a man's room in the middle of the night.
"Aunt Xiao Qi? So late at night?" The patriarch of the Nala family is over [-] years old and the new successor.
He has the deepness that a patriarch should have, and the ambition that a man should have.
"Cooperation." Having also lived in this place for ten years, Xiao Qi still hasn't learned Su Qiu's 'tactful'.
He stared straight at the head of the Nala clan without avoiding it.
"Elder Brother has no chance of succession, and you should know that too."
In a word, the face of the chief of the Nala clan became very ugly in an instant.The prosperity of the clan has a lot to do with the origin of the one who climbed to the top, and the hope of the Nala clan is naturally the elder brother Yinyi.
If Yinyi ascended the throne, then Nala would become the uncle of the country in one fell swoop.This is a great honor, and it will also be the beginning of Nala's prosperity again.
If it was in the past, such an idea might have been suppressed in the bones because of Kangxi's love for the prince.
But now, because of Kangxi's dislike for the prince, he even directly deposed the prince.Nalashi saw hope, but of course, this hope was not a hope that could be spoken.
"The emperor has already directly denied the elder brother by the ministers and the master of the Eight Banners. No matter how much you work hard, it is impossible." go on.
"What you want is the position, what we want is your support. Anyway, in the end, it's all your Lashi's seed. Is it so important who will inherit it?"
This is plausible, even a little rude.However, the eyes of the chief of the Nala clan widened a lot.
Nala's bloodline... Except for Big Brother, there is only...
Xiao Qi didn't urge the Nala clan chief to express his position, and Nala clan wasn't the only one who would respond in the military in the future.
When Xie Linglong and Eighth Prince got online, Su Qiu said that Nian Gengyao might be recruited.
Although Xiaoqi didn't understand why Su Qiu didn't take precautions in advance, for example, they found Nian Gengyao before, but he also knew that Su Qiu's thoughts were beyond what he, a humanoid machine, could guess.
"If that day really comes, my Lashi will naturally make the right choice accordingly."
The patriarch's words were not fatal, and it didn't matter to Xiao Qi if he heard the same specious words.
"I didn't expect to ask you to support wholeheartedly. Anyway, as much effort as you can get in the end." Xiao Qi stood up and walked towards the door. "As long as you don't get in the way, it will be to your advantage."
The door didn't even open, and Xiao Qi had already disappeared into the room.
The back of the patriarch of the Nala clan was startled in cold sweat, which shows equal importance to grace and power.
"It's done."
"Thank you." Su Qiu got off the bed and walked barefoot on the floor without feeling cold.The ground dragon burning in the house around the clock makes the Yonghe Palace pleasant even in winter.
"Is this a little too urgent?" Xiao Qi sat directly at the table and began to eat the meal that Su Qiu helped to save.
It took a lot of mental energy to go out in the middle of the night.
"I've had enough of this damn place." Ten years didn't leave much traces on Su Qiu, but the young man's enthusiasm seemed to be almost exhausted.
"Anyway, it's just an intelligence test, just complete the task. If this continues, I'll feel like I'm going to die in this ghost place for the rest of my life."
It is said that if you don't die in silence, you will pervert in silence.
And Su Qiu obviously walked on the former path in the past ten years, but now, he seems to have embarked on the latter journey.
Xiao Qi looked at Su Qiu's personality that was about to split, but was still optimistic that the other party had finally regained some vitality.
Winter, years ago.
Because of the dethroning of the prince, this year is obviously not going to be a good year.
After greeting the Queen Mother, Su Qiu waited on the only way for the concubines.
"Ah, isn't this sister Defei? Why do you want to enjoy the snow here?" The Guarjia family is definitely a delicate flower, and the pink flag can also set off the delicate face of this new concubine. .
Su Qiu turned her head gently, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. "I don't know if my sister is free. Would you like to enjoy the snow with me?"
The smile on Guarjia's face became brighter and brighter. The women in the harem are all talents who can win the queen.
"Since my sister invites me, my sister is of course willing to go with me."
Kangxi is not young anymore. Although he is not old yet, he is no longer young.The best manifestation is that she is not so obsessed with the flowers in the harem.
In 39, two concubines were promoted after several general elections.And the Guerjia family in front of him is one of them.
"My sister is really kind. Just watching my sister sitting here makes people feel refreshed and happy. No wonder the emperor likes to go to my sister."
Yeah, can you not like it?Every time I go, I will do a full set of horse killing chicken, and then come with a refreshing dream.
Su Qiu has always felt that Kangxi has contributed a lot to being able to be so old and strong at this age.At least in terms of physical health care, I am definitely a professional level.
"My sister was joking." The smile on Su Qiu's face was simply a standard template. "If you want to talk about the woman the emperor likes, it's really hard to say."
"There are countless beauties in the harem, and there will never be a shortage of fresh flowers." Su Qiu intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Guarjia, and was satisfied to see the three-pointed and seven-point cautious look on the other party's face.
Well, it looks like a smart one.In this way, you won't be afraid that if you wait until you turn a corner and say something, the other party will not understand.
"If you want to be favored, it must belong to Concubine Liang."
The smile on Guerjia's face faded a little, and the eyes he looked at Su Qiu became more and more serious.There has been no concubine who has been promoted in the harem for a long time, so her own promotion has a lot of weight invisibly.
But I am not the only one, there is another woman who is old and fading, the current Concubine Liang.
It should be said that because of the birth of the eighth elder brother, the emperor's favor climbed from a slave to the position of a nobleman.
But after so many years, there is nowhere to go, but she was promoted to concubine with herself.
To a certain extent, this embarrasses the Guarja family.
"Hey, speaking of Concubine Liang's promotion, I need to thank Aunt Xie." Seeing the change in Guerjia's expression, Su Qiu began to bring the topic to the right direction.
"Oh? How do you say that?"
"Perhaps my sister doesn't know yet. At the beginning, I was planning to promote my sister alone. But when the head of internal affairs asked the emperor what he meant, Aunt Xie next to me suddenly mentioned Sister Liang Concubine, so..."
Su Qiu looked at Guarjia with a smile, as if he didn't see the slightly distorted expression on the other's face.
"I was lucky enough to be on the side at the time. Of course, I really felt that Aunt Xie was indeed a popular person around the emperor. Even a single word was worthy of other people's lifetime efforts."
"Hey, it's windy, my sister should hurry back too. Just be careful not to hurt yourself." Su Qiu got up gracefully after getting the result he was satisfied with.
A few days after going back, I heard that Guarjia asked Kangxi about Xie Linglong.Su Qiu was not so curious about why the Guerjia family didn't establish a good relationship with Xie Linglong and let the other party give him some good words for him, but asked Xie Linglong directly.
Undoubtedly, it was the young and energetic woman who was still thinking about a bright future with his emperor, and there was no room for a woman who was just a slave among them.
Kangxi agreed, which can only explain the importance of his status.
"Emiang, Huang Ama praised the child again today." The 12-year-old Yinzhen is already a half-grown child.
Looking at this child whom he had grown up with, Su Qiu finally understood the true meaning of the words 'see it as his own'.
"It's amazing. Little Fourteen is indeed the smartest child."
Yinzhen happily lay on Su Qiu's lap and played around for a while.
"Emiang, tell me about the fourth brother." Yinzhen carefully looked at Su Qiu's face, and indeed saw a trace of loneliness.
"What's there to say? That's your fourth brother, the son of Empress Tong Jia."
"Isn't that your son? My own brother?"
Su Qiu picked Yinzhen up and stroked the half of his bald forehead. "The queen was seriously ill back then and needed to be happy, so..."
"So the fourth brother was adopted by the former queen?"
Su Qiu didn't answer Yinzhen's words, but just looked at him and smiled.
"Your fourth brother has always looked mature since he was a child. He liked you very much when he was a child, but every time he hugged you, he was very nervous. His little face collapsed tightly, and his hands were also tightly grasped, for fear of falling you .”
"Later, when I grew up a little, I was raised by the former queen. But I always find opportunities to sneak back and bring you all kinds of snacks."
"Later, it was officially under the name of the first queen, and she also grew up, so it is not convenient to come here."
"When your fourth brother left at the end, tell me, let me use the mother's love for him to love you twice, and treat him as a son without him."
"He also said that even if he can't be filial in front of me in the future, he will always remember me as a mother-in-law."
"Also, I will protect you forever."
"These words, that is, I will tell you now that you have grown up. It's okay to listen to it. Just like your fourth brother, when you come out of this door, you will pretend that you haven't said it, and you haven't heard these words. You know."
Su Qiu stroked Yinzhen tenderly, and looked at the child's tense and serious face.Laughing tears are about to flow out.
"Go and play by yourself, Erniang is tired and wants to rest for a while."
After Yinzhen left the house, Xiao Qi walked over from the side.
"Sometimes, I tell so many lies that I don't even know what's true and what's not. Tell me, Xiao Qi."
Xiao Qi didn't reply, because it could be seen that Su Qiu didn't expect him to say anything.
"When I get back from this ghost place, I will never tell lies again in my life." When will this kind of life that even the closest people have to use lies to maintain will be the end.
In the 42nd year of Kangxi, the prince was restored.
Because of the relationship between Xie Linglong and Su Qiu, during this period of time, the elder brothers got along harmoniously and calmly, as if they knew that the crown prince would be restored.
In the 43rd year of Kangxi, the eighth elder brother asked the Guerjia family for Xie Linglong, and formally invited his "staff" back to the mansion.
By the way, the eighth elder brother has already left the palace and established a mansion. When he was 17 years old, he was the youngest Baylor.
Xie Linglong can be regarded as having real talents and hard work, and happily incorporated Tian Wenjing Ertai into the team of the eighth elder brother.
So far, Yongzheng's arms have been removed in two.
In 45 years, the prince was deposed for the second time, and the rest of the princes seemed to have gotten used to the banter between their royal Ama and the prince's 'brother', and there was no disturbance at all.
For this reason, when Kangxi came to Su Qiu's place, he even complained a little, and now the children's thoughts are really hard to guess.
Sure enough, it was reestablished in 46.
That is, this year, the wind and the clouds are surging.
Brother Ba began to show his extraordinary talents, and Jiu and Shi became Lao Ba's right-hand man.Fortunately, this time, Fourteen did not stand on the opposite side of his brother, and was going to fight against his own brother.
And Xie Linglong also seemed to have given up the idea of wooing Shishi, although Shishi already had some prestige in the army in 46.
Kangxi's body was getting worse and worse, so Su Qiu acted as if he didn't see what remained in the other party's body.
Xie Linglong did what she always wanted to do but didn't dare to do, and it was another thing she deserved to thank the other party for.
In 48 years, the prince was imprisoned.
The court is turbulent and perilous.
The folks began to spread rumors that the eighth elder brother was talented, kind-hearted, and well-received by everyone.
Unlike Kangxi's anger recorded in history, Kangxi did not say anything this time.
That's right, the body has already aged to such an exaggerated level, and Kangxi is not stupid, so he naturally knows what's wrong.
"Your Majesty, adopt the eighth elder brother under the name of my concubine."
Kangxi spent more and more time in the Yonghe Palace, but often he just sat quietly throughout the day.
In good conscience, Kangxi likes Lao Ba very much, otherwise he would not be the youngest Baylor.
But when this kind of threat to his position, the family relationship seems so weak.
Concubine Liang had passed away for three years, and Kangxi didn't want to push Yinhu into a hurry by going too far.
Having already unknowingly controlled the Ministry of Internal Affairs and won the support of most officials in the court, Kangxi did not dare to imagine the consequences if he was pushed into a hurry.
Kangxi raised his eyes and glanced at Su Qiu, neither saying yes nor no.
But Su Qiu saw it in those eyes, compromised.
Kangxi once left a decree that the sons of Concubine Fande shall not inherit the Datong.
Of course, Su Qiu tried every means to add the two characters under his name. From this, it is not difficult to see that Kangxi had been guarding against his son not long ago.
In the 48th year of Kangxi, the eighth elder brother Yinhu adopted under the name of Concubine De.
Xie Linglong was even in a hurry to be happy before she came. Her master's status was one level higher, so she was notified and summoned by Concubine De.
Kangxi's body was on the verge of dying, and he was in danger, so he was living on the toxin that Su Qiu calmly helped him relieve.
In fact, detoxification is not difficult, but Su Qiu has no such thoughts now.
Xie Linglong had too many opportunities to refuse this summons, such as playing dead.
But the doubts in his heart for more than ten years made Xie Linglong appear in the Yonghe Palace.
"Sit down." Xie Linglong's pupils shrank instantly as Su Qiu sat on the upper seat with his legs crossed and ate melon seeds.
"I called you here because I want you to watch a good show." Even if the other party has seen something, it can't change Su Qiu's good mood.
The ceremony of changing the jade certificate has been completed, but Su Qiu did not attend because he said he was sick.At the door, the little eunuch conveyed every word the emperor said at the ceremony, and each sentence of praise made Xie Linglong more and more surprised.
Could it be that this woman wants to support Eighth Brother just like herself?
But what she said later made Xie Linglong's whole body turn cold.
"The emperor ordered that...all the sons under the name of Concubine De will be disqualified from succession..."
"Draw the bottom of the pot, you are ruthless." Xie Linglong sat slumped on the ground, feeling so at a loss for the first time.
"What the hell do you want to do?"
Concubine De's son, fourth elder brother, and fourteenth elder brother were all implicated.Xie Linglong couldn't believe that this woman could be so vicious that she wouldn't even spare her own son.
"The emperor, of course it can only be Yongzheng." Su Qiu looked at Xie Linglong and smiled innocently.
"You must not have listened carefully to the imperial decree, for example, the son under the name or something."
Xie Linglong stared at Su Qiu in disbelief, just like Yinhu looked at Kangxi in disbelief at this moment.
The son under the name, Yinzhen has long since passed on to the former queen, and is no longer under the name of Concubine De.
"Do you think you can succeed in this way? You are delusional!" Seeing that the ten-year plan was about to turn into a splash, Xie Linglong was a little crazy.
Standing up fiercely from the ground, the fingers pointing at Su Qiu trembled.
"Oh, do you mean Nian Gengyao and Ertai? Or the toxins in Kangxi's body? Or the half of the court controlled by the eighth elder brother?"
Every time Su Qiu said a word, Xie Linglong's expression turned ugly.Is there anything more frightening in this world than being completely informed of one's own plan by others?
No, of course there is.
For example...
"Those are all what I ordered them to do. I think it's quite fun to kill them."
As if in response to Su Qiu's words, the little eunuch's voice continued flatly. "The emperor is ill and has fallen into a coma."
"You are ruthless enough, you have taken enough medicine."
Just as Su Qiu thought, Xie Linglong wanted to hit it with one blow.On the day when the eighth elder brother's status was raised, everyone thought that Kangxi loved this son, and let him "death".
In this way, with the support of half of the court, coupled with the power in hand, it is not impossible to directly hold the eighth elder brother to that position.
But after the mantis and the cicada and the oriole followed, Su Qiu also had the same idea.
"Let's not laugh at the hundred steps. Since you know that I haven't stopped what I did, it shows that you are not a good person."
Xie Linglong really gave up.He stroked his hair and sat on the chair beside him.After so many years in this time and space, it was the first time that he sat down so casually. It was a kind of irony to think about it.
"Do you think you won like this? Eighth brother is not easy to calculate."
Su Qiu looked at Xie Linglong again and smiled, but finally let go of her crossed legs.I haven't relaxed so much in more than ten years, and I still feel a little uncomfortable when I suddenly relax.
The little eunuch was doing his own thing competently, while Su Qiu listened to him indifferently.
"The minister of the interior, Tong Guowei, led a hundred officials to invite the emperor, and made Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor, the crown prince. He will take up the post of supervisor of the country from now on."
"The elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother led the generals to support the fourth elder brother Yinzhen."
"The third elder brother, the fifth elder brother, and the thirteenth elder brother led hundreds of civil servants to support the fourth elder brother Yinzhen."
As the news came one by one, Xie Linglong's face became paler and paler even if he had given up on it.
"I'll go out for a while, please wait for me to get off." Su Qiu clapped his hands and stood up.
The court ladies hiding in every corner rushed forward, and in an instant a dignified and luxurious concubine De appeared in front of everyone.
"If you lose, you lose. You are just a court lady, but I am a concubine." Su Qiu said as if chatting while asking the court lady to dress herself up.
"You only value the right-hand men of Yongzheng in the future, but you don't see those excellent princes who may not succeed to the throne. The promises you can make to those ministers are personal honor and disgrace, but what I can give is the prosperity of the entire family .”
"Finally, because I can kill them at any time."
Xie Linglong looked at Su Qiu with a pale face. In fact, the last sentence was the key.No matter how ambitious a person is, as long as his life is threatened, it really can only be a delusion.
"I have been actively planning for more than ten years. Do you think you want to defeat me in the few years since Ba Prince became an adult?"
Su Qiu seemed to have finally finished what he wanted to say, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he returned to that decent 'Concubine De'.
Su Qiu went to the Empress Dowager, and then to Qianqing Palace.Not long after, an imperial decree bearing the empress dowager's seal and jade seal came out from Qianqing Palace.
"The emperor's imperial edict said,...Yinzhen, the fourth son of Prince Yong, has a noble character, and he is deeply respected by me. He will definitely be able to inherit the great order. To write is the emperor's throne, that is, to follow the public system, and to announce it at home and abroad, so that the salty envoys can hear about it."
The enthronement edict is very long, and a large part of it is in the autobiography of Emperor Kangxi.But those few short sentences at the end let the world know that the overall situation has been decided.
The Ministry of Rites draws up auspicious days for the zodiac, and holds the enthronement ceremony.
The overall situation is settled, after Xiaoqi brainwashed Xie Linglong, she opened the gate of time and space and sent people back to the 21st century where she was.
Ten years seemed like a dream, and Su Qiu also felt that he was about to wake up from the dream.
"Er Niang." Yinzhen knelt on the ground in the crown prince's suit.
There was no one else in the room, Su Qiu turned his neck with difficulty to look at the people on the ground.
My former idol, now my son, has grown up and become a man of indomitable spirit.
Just like everything has an end time, after completing all the tasks, Su Qiu began to age rapidly.
Or it should be said that it was Concubine De, who began to age rapidly.
Only 45 years old, but already full of gray hair.It may be that the lifespan lost by the ancient emperor Kangxi was all subtracted from Su Qiu, and the whole person looks extremely old.
"Come here, let me take a good look at you."
Not only Yinzhen and Yinzhen, but even Su Qiu himself knew that his time was numbered.Yinzhen took a few steps on his knees and knelt under Su Qiu's hands.
"In the future, you will be the most honorable person in the world. You must know how to use people well. I helped you resolve the hostility among your brothers. Those are all people who can be used, so don't be useless."
"Emiang, baby..." The 30-year-old emperor couldn't help but shed tears no matter how calm and steady he was.
"Don't be too sad, this is what your mother bought with her life, and she thinks it's worth it." Isn't it bought with your life? Emperor Kangxi, who has been emperor for more than 60 years, forced himself to toss for more than 30 years.
"This elixir can cure hundreds of poisons, and you will be safe for life after taking it." Su Qiu could already feel the loss of vitality, and knew that he was running out of time in this time and space.
He quickly took out the pill made with his own painstaking efforts and handed it to Yinzhen.
"Be kind to your younger brother, don't be too tired." It became difficult to breathe, Su Qiu looked at Yinzhen with difficulty.
After more than ten years of getting along and waiting and watching, I thought it would be easy to leave, but I didn't expect it to be so painful.
"Yinzhen, little fourteen, come in." As if returning to the light, Su Qiu's face gradually improved made Yinzhen feel thrilled.
Under Su Qiu's signal, he stuffed the pill directly into his mouth. For this woman who was dedicated to him, Yinzhen felt that he could trust her with his life.
Fourteen stumbled in and ran in, knelt on the other side of Su Qiu, holding Su Qiu's hand and weeping silently.
Since the fourth brother became the emperor, Er Niang has aged instantly as if she had fulfilled her mission.
Looking at Eniang's aging speed every day, Yinzhen felt as if he was about to explode.
"Help your fourth brother well and help Erniang take good care of him, okay?"
"Woo...Okay, Er Niang, I will help you take good care of fourth brother, woo." Unable to hide his sobs, Yinzhen buried his head on Su Qiu's lap.
Su Qiu gently stroked the heads of the two children, and smiled faintly while looking in the direction of the gate. "I was always afraid that I would miss you, so after Wen Xian got married, I didn't dare to see her, because I was afraid that I would be too reluctant at this time." My only precious daughter, that lovely girl.
"From now on, Wen Xian will be handed over to you two brothers, so Er Niang can rest assured."
"After I leave, bury me in your Huang Ama's outer mausoleum, and I will guard the tomb for him. This way he should be able to relax a bit and won't blame you."
Yinzhen knew that these words were actually meant for himself, but he couldn't say a word because of his uncomfortable heart.
Tears fell down like broken beads.The hand that was clenched tightly in his hand also slowly became cold.
"Pfft, I remembered something." Su Qiu raised Yinzhen's face and looked at him with a smile.
"Remember to issue an imperial decree in the future, prohibiting all your descendants from using jade seals to cover other people's paintings indiscriminately, you know?"
"Also, if possible, don't pass the throne to your fourth son." Qianlong was really not a good person, and he didn't feel that he was a good emperor.
Yinzhen looked at Su Qiu in confusion, but nodded firmly.
As time passed, Su Qiu's breathing became shallower and shallower.
"Xinhuang, Empress Concubine De is tired." Xiao Qi gently walked over from the shadows, and took Su Qiu from Yinzhen and Yinzhen's hands, who was breathless.
Ignoring the two motionless men kneeling on the ground, he picked them up and entered the inner room.
In the first year of Yongzheng, Concubine De collapsed and died in Yonghe Palace.
On the same day, Seventh Aunt who had been serving her died.
Yongzheng respected Concubine De as the Empress Dowager, and all the servants of Yonghe Palace stayed in Qianqing Palace and Fourteenth Prince's Mansion respectively according to Concubine De's last words.
Xiao Qiduan sat in the bedroom of the chief of the Nala clan, with a calm expression, as if he didn't think there was any problem with a woman appearing in a man's room in the middle of the night.
"Aunt Xiao Qi? So late at night?" The patriarch of the Nala family is over [-] years old and the new successor.
He has the deepness that a patriarch should have, and the ambition that a man should have.
"Cooperation." Having also lived in this place for ten years, Xiao Qi still hasn't learned Su Qiu's 'tactful'.
He stared straight at the head of the Nala clan without avoiding it.
"Elder Brother has no chance of succession, and you should know that too."
In a word, the face of the chief of the Nala clan became very ugly in an instant.The prosperity of the clan has a lot to do with the origin of the one who climbed to the top, and the hope of the Nala clan is naturally the elder brother Yinyi.
If Yinyi ascended the throne, then Nala would become the uncle of the country in one fell swoop.This is a great honor, and it will also be the beginning of Nala's prosperity again.
If it was in the past, such an idea might have been suppressed in the bones because of Kangxi's love for the prince.
But now, because of Kangxi's dislike for the prince, he even directly deposed the prince.Nalashi saw hope, but of course, this hope was not a hope that could be spoken.
"The emperor has already directly denied the elder brother by the ministers and the master of the Eight Banners. No matter how much you work hard, it is impossible." go on.
"What you want is the position, what we want is your support. Anyway, in the end, it's all your Lashi's seed. Is it so important who will inherit it?"
This is plausible, even a little rude.However, the eyes of the chief of the Nala clan widened a lot.
Nala's bloodline... Except for Big Brother, there is only...
Xiao Qi didn't urge the Nala clan chief to express his position, and Nala clan wasn't the only one who would respond in the military in the future.
When Xie Linglong and Eighth Prince got online, Su Qiu said that Nian Gengyao might be recruited.
Although Xiaoqi didn't understand why Su Qiu didn't take precautions in advance, for example, they found Nian Gengyao before, but he also knew that Su Qiu's thoughts were beyond what he, a humanoid machine, could guess.
"If that day really comes, my Lashi will naturally make the right choice accordingly."
The patriarch's words were not fatal, and it didn't matter to Xiao Qi if he heard the same specious words.
"I didn't expect to ask you to support wholeheartedly. Anyway, as much effort as you can get in the end." Xiao Qi stood up and walked towards the door. "As long as you don't get in the way, it will be to your advantage."
The door didn't even open, and Xiao Qi had already disappeared into the room.
The back of the patriarch of the Nala clan was startled in cold sweat, which shows equal importance to grace and power.
"It's done."
"Thank you." Su Qiu got off the bed and walked barefoot on the floor without feeling cold.The ground dragon burning in the house around the clock makes the Yonghe Palace pleasant even in winter.
"Is this a little too urgent?" Xiao Qi sat directly at the table and began to eat the meal that Su Qiu helped to save.
It took a lot of mental energy to go out in the middle of the night.
"I've had enough of this damn place." Ten years didn't leave much traces on Su Qiu, but the young man's enthusiasm seemed to be almost exhausted.
"Anyway, it's just an intelligence test, just complete the task. If this continues, I'll feel like I'm going to die in this ghost place for the rest of my life."
It is said that if you don't die in silence, you will pervert in silence.
And Su Qiu obviously walked on the former path in the past ten years, but now, he seems to have embarked on the latter journey.
Xiao Qi looked at Su Qiu's personality that was about to split, but was still optimistic that the other party had finally regained some vitality.
Winter, years ago.
Because of the dethroning of the prince, this year is obviously not going to be a good year.
After greeting the Queen Mother, Su Qiu waited on the only way for the concubines.
"Ah, isn't this sister Defei? Why do you want to enjoy the snow here?" The Guarjia family is definitely a delicate flower, and the pink flag can also set off the delicate face of this new concubine. .
Su Qiu turned her head gently, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. "I don't know if my sister is free. Would you like to enjoy the snow with me?"
The smile on Guarjia's face became brighter and brighter. The women in the harem are all talents who can win the queen.
"Since my sister invites me, my sister is of course willing to go with me."
Kangxi is not young anymore. Although he is not old yet, he is no longer young.The best manifestation is that she is not so obsessed with the flowers in the harem.
In 39, two concubines were promoted after several general elections.And the Guerjia family in front of him is one of them.
"My sister is really kind. Just watching my sister sitting here makes people feel refreshed and happy. No wonder the emperor likes to go to my sister."
Yeah, can you not like it?Every time I go, I will do a full set of horse killing chicken, and then come with a refreshing dream.
Su Qiu has always felt that Kangxi has contributed a lot to being able to be so old and strong at this age.At least in terms of physical health care, I am definitely a professional level.
"My sister was joking." The smile on Su Qiu's face was simply a standard template. "If you want to talk about the woman the emperor likes, it's really hard to say."
"There are countless beauties in the harem, and there will never be a shortage of fresh flowers." Su Qiu intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Guarjia, and was satisfied to see the three-pointed and seven-point cautious look on the other party's face.
Well, it looks like a smart one.In this way, you won't be afraid that if you wait until you turn a corner and say something, the other party will not understand.
"If you want to be favored, it must belong to Concubine Liang."
The smile on Guerjia's face faded a little, and the eyes he looked at Su Qiu became more and more serious.There has been no concubine who has been promoted in the harem for a long time, so her own promotion has a lot of weight invisibly.
But I am not the only one, there is another woman who is old and fading, the current Concubine Liang.
It should be said that because of the birth of the eighth elder brother, the emperor's favor climbed from a slave to the position of a nobleman.
But after so many years, there is nowhere to go, but she was promoted to concubine with herself.
To a certain extent, this embarrasses the Guarja family.
"Hey, speaking of Concubine Liang's promotion, I need to thank Aunt Xie." Seeing the change in Guerjia's expression, Su Qiu began to bring the topic to the right direction.
"Oh? How do you say that?"
"Perhaps my sister doesn't know yet. At the beginning, I was planning to promote my sister alone. But when the head of internal affairs asked the emperor what he meant, Aunt Xie next to me suddenly mentioned Sister Liang Concubine, so..."
Su Qiu looked at Guarjia with a smile, as if he didn't see the slightly distorted expression on the other's face.
"I was lucky enough to be on the side at the time. Of course, I really felt that Aunt Xie was indeed a popular person around the emperor. Even a single word was worthy of other people's lifetime efforts."
"Hey, it's windy, my sister should hurry back too. Just be careful not to hurt yourself." Su Qiu got up gracefully after getting the result he was satisfied with.
A few days after going back, I heard that Guarjia asked Kangxi about Xie Linglong.Su Qiu was not so curious about why the Guerjia family didn't establish a good relationship with Xie Linglong and let the other party give him some good words for him, but asked Xie Linglong directly.
Undoubtedly, it was the young and energetic woman who was still thinking about a bright future with his emperor, and there was no room for a woman who was just a slave among them.
Kangxi agreed, which can only explain the importance of his status.
"Emiang, Huang Ama praised the child again today." The 12-year-old Yinzhen is already a half-grown child.
Looking at this child whom he had grown up with, Su Qiu finally understood the true meaning of the words 'see it as his own'.
"It's amazing. Little Fourteen is indeed the smartest child."
Yinzhen happily lay on Su Qiu's lap and played around for a while.
"Emiang, tell me about the fourth brother." Yinzhen carefully looked at Su Qiu's face, and indeed saw a trace of loneliness.
"What's there to say? That's your fourth brother, the son of Empress Tong Jia."
"Isn't that your son? My own brother?"
Su Qiu picked Yinzhen up and stroked the half of his bald forehead. "The queen was seriously ill back then and needed to be happy, so..."
"So the fourth brother was adopted by the former queen?"
Su Qiu didn't answer Yinzhen's words, but just looked at him and smiled.
"Your fourth brother has always looked mature since he was a child. He liked you very much when he was a child, but every time he hugged you, he was very nervous. His little face collapsed tightly, and his hands were also tightly grasped, for fear of falling you .”
"Later, when I grew up a little, I was raised by the former queen. But I always find opportunities to sneak back and bring you all kinds of snacks."
"Later, it was officially under the name of the first queen, and she also grew up, so it is not convenient to come here."
"When your fourth brother left at the end, tell me, let me use the mother's love for him to love you twice, and treat him as a son without him."
"He also said that even if he can't be filial in front of me in the future, he will always remember me as a mother-in-law."
"Also, I will protect you forever."
"These words, that is, I will tell you now that you have grown up. It's okay to listen to it. Just like your fourth brother, when you come out of this door, you will pretend that you haven't said it, and you haven't heard these words. You know."
Su Qiu stroked Yinzhen tenderly, and looked at the child's tense and serious face.Laughing tears are about to flow out.
"Go and play by yourself, Erniang is tired and wants to rest for a while."
After Yinzhen left the house, Xiao Qi walked over from the side.
"Sometimes, I tell so many lies that I don't even know what's true and what's not. Tell me, Xiao Qi."
Xiao Qi didn't reply, because it could be seen that Su Qiu didn't expect him to say anything.
"When I get back from this ghost place, I will never tell lies again in my life." When will this kind of life that even the closest people have to use lies to maintain will be the end.
In the 42nd year of Kangxi, the prince was restored.
Because of the relationship between Xie Linglong and Su Qiu, during this period of time, the elder brothers got along harmoniously and calmly, as if they knew that the crown prince would be restored.
In the 43rd year of Kangxi, the eighth elder brother asked the Guerjia family for Xie Linglong, and formally invited his "staff" back to the mansion.
By the way, the eighth elder brother has already left the palace and established a mansion. When he was 17 years old, he was the youngest Baylor.
Xie Linglong can be regarded as having real talents and hard work, and happily incorporated Tian Wenjing Ertai into the team of the eighth elder brother.
So far, Yongzheng's arms have been removed in two.
In 45 years, the prince was deposed for the second time, and the rest of the princes seemed to have gotten used to the banter between their royal Ama and the prince's 'brother', and there was no disturbance at all.
For this reason, when Kangxi came to Su Qiu's place, he even complained a little, and now the children's thoughts are really hard to guess.
Sure enough, it was reestablished in 46.
That is, this year, the wind and the clouds are surging.
Brother Ba began to show his extraordinary talents, and Jiu and Shi became Lao Ba's right-hand man.Fortunately, this time, Fourteen did not stand on the opposite side of his brother, and was going to fight against his own brother.
And Xie Linglong also seemed to have given up the idea of wooing Shishi, although Shishi already had some prestige in the army in 46.
Kangxi's body was getting worse and worse, so Su Qiu acted as if he didn't see what remained in the other party's body.
Xie Linglong did what she always wanted to do but didn't dare to do, and it was another thing she deserved to thank the other party for.
In 48 years, the prince was imprisoned.
The court is turbulent and perilous.
The folks began to spread rumors that the eighth elder brother was talented, kind-hearted, and well-received by everyone.
Unlike Kangxi's anger recorded in history, Kangxi did not say anything this time.
That's right, the body has already aged to such an exaggerated level, and Kangxi is not stupid, so he naturally knows what's wrong.
"Your Majesty, adopt the eighth elder brother under the name of my concubine."
Kangxi spent more and more time in the Yonghe Palace, but often he just sat quietly throughout the day.
In good conscience, Kangxi likes Lao Ba very much, otherwise he would not be the youngest Baylor.
But when this kind of threat to his position, the family relationship seems so weak.
Concubine Liang had passed away for three years, and Kangxi didn't want to push Yinhu into a hurry by going too far.
Having already unknowingly controlled the Ministry of Internal Affairs and won the support of most officials in the court, Kangxi did not dare to imagine the consequences if he was pushed into a hurry.
Kangxi raised his eyes and glanced at Su Qiu, neither saying yes nor no.
But Su Qiu saw it in those eyes, compromised.
Kangxi once left a decree that the sons of Concubine Fande shall not inherit the Datong.
Of course, Su Qiu tried every means to add the two characters under his name. From this, it is not difficult to see that Kangxi had been guarding against his son not long ago.
In the 48th year of Kangxi, the eighth elder brother Yinhu adopted under the name of Concubine De.
Xie Linglong was even in a hurry to be happy before she came. Her master's status was one level higher, so she was notified and summoned by Concubine De.
Kangxi's body was on the verge of dying, and he was in danger, so he was living on the toxin that Su Qiu calmly helped him relieve.
In fact, detoxification is not difficult, but Su Qiu has no such thoughts now.
Xie Linglong had too many opportunities to refuse this summons, such as playing dead.
But the doubts in his heart for more than ten years made Xie Linglong appear in the Yonghe Palace.
"Sit down." Xie Linglong's pupils shrank instantly as Su Qiu sat on the upper seat with his legs crossed and ate melon seeds.
"I called you here because I want you to watch a good show." Even if the other party has seen something, it can't change Su Qiu's good mood.
The ceremony of changing the jade certificate has been completed, but Su Qiu did not attend because he said he was sick.At the door, the little eunuch conveyed every word the emperor said at the ceremony, and each sentence of praise made Xie Linglong more and more surprised.
Could it be that this woman wants to support Eighth Brother just like herself?
But what she said later made Xie Linglong's whole body turn cold.
"The emperor ordered that...all the sons under the name of Concubine De will be disqualified from succession..."
"Draw the bottom of the pot, you are ruthless." Xie Linglong sat slumped on the ground, feeling so at a loss for the first time.
"What the hell do you want to do?"
Concubine De's son, fourth elder brother, and fourteenth elder brother were all implicated.Xie Linglong couldn't believe that this woman could be so vicious that she wouldn't even spare her own son.
"The emperor, of course it can only be Yongzheng." Su Qiu looked at Xie Linglong and smiled innocently.
"You must not have listened carefully to the imperial decree, for example, the son under the name or something."
Xie Linglong stared at Su Qiu in disbelief, just like Yinhu looked at Kangxi in disbelief at this moment.
The son under the name, Yinzhen has long since passed on to the former queen, and is no longer under the name of Concubine De.
"Do you think you can succeed in this way? You are delusional!" Seeing that the ten-year plan was about to turn into a splash, Xie Linglong was a little crazy.
Standing up fiercely from the ground, the fingers pointing at Su Qiu trembled.
"Oh, do you mean Nian Gengyao and Ertai? Or the toxins in Kangxi's body? Or the half of the court controlled by the eighth elder brother?"
Every time Su Qiu said a word, Xie Linglong's expression turned ugly.Is there anything more frightening in this world than being completely informed of one's own plan by others?
No, of course there is.
For example...
"Those are all what I ordered them to do. I think it's quite fun to kill them."
As if in response to Su Qiu's words, the little eunuch's voice continued flatly. "The emperor is ill and has fallen into a coma."
"You are ruthless enough, you have taken enough medicine."
Just as Su Qiu thought, Xie Linglong wanted to hit it with one blow.On the day when the eighth elder brother's status was raised, everyone thought that Kangxi loved this son, and let him "death".
In this way, with the support of half of the court, coupled with the power in hand, it is not impossible to directly hold the eighth elder brother to that position.
But after the mantis and the cicada and the oriole followed, Su Qiu also had the same idea.
"Let's not laugh at the hundred steps. Since you know that I haven't stopped what I did, it shows that you are not a good person."
Xie Linglong really gave up.He stroked his hair and sat on the chair beside him.After so many years in this time and space, it was the first time that he sat down so casually. It was a kind of irony to think about it.
"Do you think you won like this? Eighth brother is not easy to calculate."
Su Qiu looked at Xie Linglong again and smiled, but finally let go of her crossed legs.I haven't relaxed so much in more than ten years, and I still feel a little uncomfortable when I suddenly relax.
The little eunuch was doing his own thing competently, while Su Qiu listened to him indifferently.
"The minister of the interior, Tong Guowei, led a hundred officials to invite the emperor, and made Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor, the crown prince. He will take up the post of supervisor of the country from now on."
"The elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother led the generals to support the fourth elder brother Yinzhen."
"The third elder brother, the fifth elder brother, and the thirteenth elder brother led hundreds of civil servants to support the fourth elder brother Yinzhen."
As the news came one by one, Xie Linglong's face became paler and paler even if he had given up on it.
"I'll go out for a while, please wait for me to get off." Su Qiu clapped his hands and stood up.
The court ladies hiding in every corner rushed forward, and in an instant a dignified and luxurious concubine De appeared in front of everyone.
"If you lose, you lose. You are just a court lady, but I am a concubine." Su Qiu said as if chatting while asking the court lady to dress herself up.
"You only value the right-hand men of Yongzheng in the future, but you don't see those excellent princes who may not succeed to the throne. The promises you can make to those ministers are personal honor and disgrace, but what I can give is the prosperity of the entire family .”
"Finally, because I can kill them at any time."
Xie Linglong looked at Su Qiu with a pale face. In fact, the last sentence was the key.No matter how ambitious a person is, as long as his life is threatened, it really can only be a delusion.
"I have been actively planning for more than ten years. Do you think you want to defeat me in the few years since Ba Prince became an adult?"
Su Qiu seemed to have finally finished what he wanted to say, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he returned to that decent 'Concubine De'.
Su Qiu went to the Empress Dowager, and then to Qianqing Palace.Not long after, an imperial decree bearing the empress dowager's seal and jade seal came out from Qianqing Palace.
"The emperor's imperial edict said,...Yinzhen, the fourth son of Prince Yong, has a noble character, and he is deeply respected by me. He will definitely be able to inherit the great order. To write is the emperor's throne, that is, to follow the public system, and to announce it at home and abroad, so that the salty envoys can hear about it."
The enthronement edict is very long, and a large part of it is in the autobiography of Emperor Kangxi.But those few short sentences at the end let the world know that the overall situation has been decided.
The Ministry of Rites draws up auspicious days for the zodiac, and holds the enthronement ceremony.
The overall situation is settled, after Xiaoqi brainwashed Xie Linglong, she opened the gate of time and space and sent people back to the 21st century where she was.
Ten years seemed like a dream, and Su Qiu also felt that he was about to wake up from the dream.
"Er Niang." Yinzhen knelt on the ground in the crown prince's suit.
There was no one else in the room, Su Qiu turned his neck with difficulty to look at the people on the ground.
My former idol, now my son, has grown up and become a man of indomitable spirit.
Just like everything has an end time, after completing all the tasks, Su Qiu began to age rapidly.
Or it should be said that it was Concubine De, who began to age rapidly.
Only 45 years old, but already full of gray hair.It may be that the lifespan lost by the ancient emperor Kangxi was all subtracted from Su Qiu, and the whole person looks extremely old.
"Come here, let me take a good look at you."
Not only Yinzhen and Yinzhen, but even Su Qiu himself knew that his time was numbered.Yinzhen took a few steps on his knees and knelt under Su Qiu's hands.
"In the future, you will be the most honorable person in the world. You must know how to use people well. I helped you resolve the hostility among your brothers. Those are all people who can be used, so don't be useless."
"Emiang, baby..." The 30-year-old emperor couldn't help but shed tears no matter how calm and steady he was.
"Don't be too sad, this is what your mother bought with her life, and she thinks it's worth it." Isn't it bought with your life? Emperor Kangxi, who has been emperor for more than 60 years, forced himself to toss for more than 30 years.
"This elixir can cure hundreds of poisons, and you will be safe for life after taking it." Su Qiu could already feel the loss of vitality, and knew that he was running out of time in this time and space.
He quickly took out the pill made with his own painstaking efforts and handed it to Yinzhen.
"Be kind to your younger brother, don't be too tired." It became difficult to breathe, Su Qiu looked at Yinzhen with difficulty.
After more than ten years of getting along and waiting and watching, I thought it would be easy to leave, but I didn't expect it to be so painful.
"Yinzhen, little fourteen, come in." As if returning to the light, Su Qiu's face gradually improved made Yinzhen feel thrilled.
Under Su Qiu's signal, he stuffed the pill directly into his mouth. For this woman who was dedicated to him, Yinzhen felt that he could trust her with his life.
Fourteen stumbled in and ran in, knelt on the other side of Su Qiu, holding Su Qiu's hand and weeping silently.
Since the fourth brother became the emperor, Er Niang has aged instantly as if she had fulfilled her mission.
Looking at Eniang's aging speed every day, Yinzhen felt as if he was about to explode.
"Help your fourth brother well and help Erniang take good care of him, okay?"
"Woo...Okay, Er Niang, I will help you take good care of fourth brother, woo." Unable to hide his sobs, Yinzhen buried his head on Su Qiu's lap.
Su Qiu gently stroked the heads of the two children, and smiled faintly while looking in the direction of the gate. "I was always afraid that I would miss you, so after Wen Xian got married, I didn't dare to see her, because I was afraid that I would be too reluctant at this time." My only precious daughter, that lovely girl.
"From now on, Wen Xian will be handed over to you two brothers, so Er Niang can rest assured."
"After I leave, bury me in your Huang Ama's outer mausoleum, and I will guard the tomb for him. This way he should be able to relax a bit and won't blame you."
Yinzhen knew that these words were actually meant for himself, but he couldn't say a word because of his uncomfortable heart.
Tears fell down like broken beads.The hand that was clenched tightly in his hand also slowly became cold.
"Pfft, I remembered something." Su Qiu raised Yinzhen's face and looked at him with a smile.
"Remember to issue an imperial decree in the future, prohibiting all your descendants from using jade seals to cover other people's paintings indiscriminately, you know?"
"Also, if possible, don't pass the throne to your fourth son." Qianlong was really not a good person, and he didn't feel that he was a good emperor.
Yinzhen looked at Su Qiu in confusion, but nodded firmly.
As time passed, Su Qiu's breathing became shallower and shallower.
"Xinhuang, Empress Concubine De is tired." Xiao Qi gently walked over from the shadows, and took Su Qiu from Yinzhen and Yinzhen's hands, who was breathless.
Ignoring the two motionless men kneeling on the ground, he picked them up and entered the inner room.
In the first year of Yongzheng, Concubine De collapsed and died in Yonghe Palace.
On the same day, Seventh Aunt who had been serving her died.
Yongzheng respected Concubine De as the Empress Dowager, and all the servants of Yonghe Palace stayed in Qianqing Palace and Fourteenth Prince's Mansion respectively according to Concubine De's last words.
