[Qing wear + Red House] Lin's Royal Concubine

As soon as the imperial decree was handed down, it encountered huge obstacles, not only from the incomprehension of the common people, but what Kangxi never imagined was that some royal relatives, court officials, nobles and many dude children in the capital were also infected with the imperial decree. Got this thing.

At first glance, it was unexpected, but when you think about it carefully, it seems to be reasonable.

On weekdays, many of these people like to invite friends to gather in those buildings. They say it is arty, but in fact everyone knows what the intention is, and they have rich family background and loose hands, so they will be punished. It's not uncommon to get hooked on this thing.

The only good thing is that it hasn't been too long since this thing re-entered the Qing Dynasty, and it hasn't had time to spread in a large area, so it won't hurt the bones if it is contained in time.

Looking at the list of lists in his hand, Kangxi struggled for a while with a gloomy face, and finally gritted his teeth, "Anyone on the list counts as one, no matter what their identities are, they will all be taken away and sent to jail! If you encounter obstacles, if persuasion fails, you will still resist the order." Those who don’t follow will be taken down together!”

Following this order, the entire capital fell into chaos in an instant. The guards, generals and soldiers were all mobilized, and they were forcibly taken away according to the list, ranging from high-ranking officials and dignitaries to wealthy businessmen. No one on the road was spared, and the streets and alleys were full of terrified cries.

When the sky was getting dark, the arrest operation was coming to an end.

"Your Majesty, those princes and adults are kneeling at the gate of the palace, saying... that if the Emperor refuses to take back his order, they will kneel and die at the gate..."

Kangxi laughed angrily when he heard the words, "Let them kneel! Their own children are not disciplined well, so they should also kneel and reflect on themselves!"

"My son is worried that it will cause big trouble..." Yinfeng was a little worried, "Although we know the danger of this matter, as relatives, we may not be able to accept such an ending. With so many clans, ministers and common people, once If someone with a heart takes the opportunity to make a fuss, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with."

"I've given them a chance to live. If I can't catch it, I can't blame others." Kangxi's attitude was very firm, but he didn't dare to underestimate the hidden crisis, thinking: "When these people's addictions come Put it in a prison van and parade it around the streets, so that everyone can see for themselves what the hell these addicts have become!"

But in all honesty, even if I saw such a scene with my own eyes, my close relatives might not be able to accept the ending of death, especially those heirs born in the family, most of them are the most desperate.

Kangxi's mood was very solemn, but his attitude was still firm. He really watched those people kneeling at the gate of the palace. Even if they were emotionally wanting to hit the wall to force them to die, only the guards calmly sent them back to the mansion, and Did not arouse the slightest disturbance.

In the great winter in the capital, not to mention kneeling all night, the vast majority of people can't bear it until midnight. Some staggered and went back to the house on their own to think of other ways, and some were frozen and passed out. In short, By the time the next day dawned, there was no one outside.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Shiyu couldn't help but feel a little surprised by Kangxi's firm and decisive attitude, but after thinking about it, it's fortunate that it's still too early at this time, and if this incident erupts in his later years Son, just because of his "government lenient" attitude of flaunting a benevolent government everywhere, there is no need to expect much at all.

So, when people are old, they should take care of themselves honestly. If they insist on staying in their seats and refuse to come down, they will only add a stain to their original glorious history, and drag the country back.

"Your Majesty." Chubby little Xizi came in from the outside with a chill in her body, and reported in a low voice: "Master Cui sent a message just now, saying that the master of the Xue family was also arrested for smoking opium." Get up, Mrs. Xue's family went to the gates of Lin's and Cui's families overnight yesterday, knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, saying that even if she didn't care about her relatives, at least she could see Second Grandma Bao running around for her mother all these years. ..."

Lin Shiyu's face fell off at that moment.

"Who is this?" Lianyi laughed angrily, "I can't manage my son well, but now I can take Second Mistress Bao out to repay her kindness? Really, what kind of kindness is this? Second Grandma Bao It is true that Nian is helping the master to travel around, but he has earned a lot of fame and money!"

"If there is no escort from our family's mother, can their Xue family regain the title of imperial merchant? Can they spread their business to all parts of the Qing Dynasty? Can they earn the gold and silver mountains? It's true that they jumped out now to repay their kindness. It’s so ridiculous!”

Nanny Yu's aging face also revealed a strong dislike and displeasure, "I saw that Mrs. Xue's family was a fool in the early years, but she hasn't made much progress in all these years... Your Majesty can You must not make such a head, there are many people involved this time, and those princes and county princes are still involved, if the empress makes a move, this matter will not end."

"Of course I won't help you with this. If you dare to touch such a deadly thing, you should let him know how powerful it is!" Lin Shiyu was really angry.

Over the years, the entire Xue family has been supported by Xue Baochai. That trash Xue Pan only knows how to squander money and wait for death. No, he shouldn't touch opium!

"Tell my sister and father that no one needs to care about this kind of affection. This is the friendship between Bengong and Baochai. If you have anything to say, Baochai should come and tell Bengong! In addition, send a letter to Baochai to convey this Tell her the truth."

Lianyi was a little hesitant, "What if the Second Grandma Bao really asks the empress for mercy? If the empress agrees and goes to ask the emperor, the emperor will be in a dilemma. It's not good to refute the empress's face but it's not good to forgive her alone. Empress If she refuses, then the relationship between Second Grandma Bao and the Empress may be difficult to maintain, once the Xue family uncle is executed..."

Lin Shiyu was actually a little uncertain.

Although Xue Baochai is a transparent and intelligent girl, but after all, she is the brother of a compatriot of the same mother. No matter how stupid Xue Pan is, he still knows how to love his mother and sister from the bottom of his heart. The relationship between brothers and sisters is not bad. However, when it comes to such a life-and-death matter, it is human nature for Xue Baochai to plead for mercy.

But she can't open this hole no matter what, so she has to consider some chain reactions that will be triggered once Xue Pan is executed, such as the relationship between her and Xue Baochai. For example, how to continue to cooperate with such a big business go on.

The more she thought about it, the more Lin Shiyu gritted her teeth with hatred for that bastard Xue Pan.

Just as the crowd was full of incomprehension and complaints, prison cars suddenly broke into sight and slowly passed through the streets and alleys.

The prison van was full of people whose hands and feet were chained. There were men and women. Most of them were still wearing silk and satin, so they could be seen from wealthy families.

But at this moment, these people didn't have the usual look of angry horses in fresh clothes. They cried and howled like lunatics in the prison car. Those who committed suicide or murdered with iron chains, and those who trembled constantly... without exception, all of them looked crazy and behaved violently, which made people shudder.

The onlookers subconsciously took a few steps back, discussing in puzzlement, wondering where all these lunatics came from.

But at this moment, the leading officer raised his voice and shouted: "Keep your eyes wide open and take a good look, these are people who smoke opium! It's just that they haven't touched that thing for two days, and they have become like this." Ghostly, do you see that this is still a normal living person?"

The onlookers were stunned when they heard this. Before they could react, they saw the team ordered by the official to stop, took out a pipe and approached one of the prison cars.

"Want to smoke? Get down on your knees and learn how to bark like a dog."

Those rich and well-dressed children in the prison car suddenly seemed to have gone crazy, and without a word, they all knelt down, barking "Wangwangwang" incessantly, just like a real dog desperately wagging its tail at its master, and then There is no trace of human dignity.

The official said again: "No, there are so many of you, and the opium is not enough. Why don't you beat everyone around you to death? Whoever survives to the end will be able to smoke opium. You don't have to suffer like this anymore. Think about it." Look at the pleasure of flying through the clouds..."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the people in the prison car wrestled into a ball again, which was really brutal.

After a lot of effort, the officers and soldiers finally stopped the tragedy in time.

Seeing this unimaginable scene happen in front of them, everyone was terrified, even the family members of the "prisoners" who rushed over after getting the news were all terrified and stood in the distance. Don't dare to go forward.

At this time, the leading official took back his pipe, "Have you looked carefully? This is why the emperor gave such an order. It's not that the emperor is unkind, but that there is really no way."

"If you smoke this stuff for a long time, that person will turn into a skeleton like a walking corpse, numb, dull, and vulnerable. If you think about it carefully, if this stuff is not strictly prohibited, what will our Qing Dynasty become in the future? Like? This is the conspiracy of those foreign devils overseas against our Qing Dynasty! When our Qing Dynasty is emptied by this thing, the foreign devils will wait for the opportunity to attack us, carve up our land, and rob us of our property..."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "These foreign devils who killed thousands of swords! We must not let them succeed! They must be banned! They must be killed! The emperor is wise!"

Immediately afterwards, the common people also shouted to express their support and approval.

The noise subsided after a while, and the official said again: "Don't worry, everyone, today's sage is wise and powerful, and he will definitely not allow such a disaster to wreak havoc in the Qing Dynasty. If there are relatives in the family who smoked this stuff, don't worry Overwhelmed by worry and anxiety, the emperor will not beheaded all of them so hastily. After that, the court will first forcibly order them to quit, and those who succeed will return home smoothly. Please stay safe and calm, this is a long and difficult process. "

"What if you can't quit? Will you really kill someone?"

Hearing this, the official sighed solemnly, pointed to the prison car, and said, "Then what can we do? These people have lost their minds, and everyone has seen it... If they only hurt themselves That's all, but when you go crazy, you will attack others indiscriminately, no matter if they are wives, children, children or innocent passers-by, if you really put these people back home, maybe the whole family will be caught in a fire in the middle of the night one day. Take it with you."

is not that right?Look at the madness in the prison car, if it weren't for being chained in it at the moment, it would not be uncommon to chop people with a knife.

Now the common people have nothing to say, who can not be afraid?The closest family members are also afraid, at least for now they are being bluffed.

Among the crowd, Aunt Xue and her daughter-in-law supported each other and almost cried their eyes out. Looking at Xue Pan who was going mad in the prison car, he was worried and afraid, and his face was full of bewilderment.

"By the way, I have to ask everyone to keep their eyes wide open and help the court to supervise. If anyone finds anyone who dares to hide, sell, or smoke this thing, please remember to report it to the government immediately. If the situation is found to be true, report it People will receive 1000 taels of silver!"

Upon hearing this, the common people were all elated, their eyes sparkled and they geared up, wishing they could turn into piercing eyes immediately. One can imagine that even if there were those sneaky smugglers in the future, it would be very difficult. The power of the people is strong of.

This scene not only happened in the capital city, but all the places where this thing haunted were given the same order. Fortunately, the places that were not harmed were also intensively arranged overnight to popularize relevant knowledge, "Rewards are rewarded." "This one is valid no matter where it is.

Even in order to prevent some local officials from falling and deceiving the imperial court to act recklessly, Kangxi added an additional one-if the local government fails to act, they can go to the capital to report. For the gold reward, the local government will copy and chop all over the house!

Of course, from now on, anyone who sells this thing will be killed without mercy, and anyone who smokes it will have no chance to reform, and will be beheaded if caught, no matter what their status is.

Under such a series of orders, the officials and people of the whole Qing Dynasty saw clearly the emperor's determination, and they all regarded the so-called longevity cream as a scourge, and avoided it in fear.

A year passed in such a muddle, and Lin Shiyu finally received Xue Baochai's reply letter early in the morning on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

There was no word of pleading in the letter, it was not because Xue Baochai was cruel, nor was it because she did not want to beg, but she knew very well in her heart that begging was useless, the emperor's attitude was obviously extremely firm, and no matter what, it was absolutely impossible because a person was not worth one Xue Pan, who mentioned it, ruined this determination.

After struggling for a long time, Xue Baochai finally only asked for one thing - to use all means to force her brother to quit, even if it is inhumane violence, as long as he can be forced to quit.

"Fortunately, Second Grandma Bao is transparent." Lianyi shook her head, and sighed regretfully, "It's a pity, but such a mother and elder brother are on the table. They didn't help anything, but they were all dragging their feet."

Lin Shiyu said: "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, how can there be so many perfect ones."

For example, Yu'er, a husband with both talent and appearance has no bad habits, loves his wife and children very much, he is a perfect husband candidate, but most of his husband's family are rigid and pedantic, and they can't be said to be together at all. Fortunately, the backing is strong, and it's fortunate that they don't live together, otherwise life would be uncertain.

Come to welcome the spring again, my husband is also a talented person, there are no complicated and difficult interpersonal relationships in the family, but my husband's temperament is too silent, and I can't get out of his weird research every day. In fact, there are a lot of negligence. If it weren't for Yingchun's gentle and contented temperament, life would probably be a mess.

The old lady of Tanchun's family has grandchildren who are good at everything, but the man has such a flirtatious heart. Although he never dared to blatantly make the two concubines an eyesore at home, he would often go to some romantic places because of business talks, hoping that the man would not It's a joke to eat the meat that is on the lips. Fortunately, Tanchun has a capable sister-in-law at his back, so the men in the family still know how to respect her.

Not to mention her herself, the majestic concubine has a noble status and enjoys endless blessings, and her children have both children. The prince also respects her and is filial to her, as if she doesn't have to worry about anything, but she knows what's going on inside, and she still has to live forever. Freedom, very aggrieved.

In fact, no one's life is perfect, but no matter what, they all have such a happy taste.

"Go and burn it." Lin Shiyu handed the letter over.

Lianyi skillfully went inside and burned the letter to ashes, then splashed it with water under the roots of the tree and nothing was left.

In the afternoon, someone from the front came to spread the word, saying that the emperor planned to go to Xiaotangshan to stay for a few days, and asked the empress to prepare.

"Seeing that someone came to plead for mercy, the emperor might want to hide." Lin Shiyu chuckled lightly, feeling much happier.

That's all for the ministers, the most important thing is that there are still some clans here, a lot of old people come in tremblingly on crutches and kowtow to plead for mercy, what can people do?I can't be kind and I'm afraid of provoking the old man and the old lady to make some troubles. It's a good way to simply hide out. It's cold and freezing far away.

"Go to all the palaces and send a message. If you want to go or not, hurry up and make a list."

After asking around, as expected, the result was the same as usual. Everyone else responded happily, but Concubine Wen still refused, and only said that please bring the tenth and fourteenth.

"This one is really pure and ascetic." Lianyi couldn't help clicking her tongue, "I have been in the palace for more than ten years, and I only show my face during New Years and festivals. Brother doesn't care much, he doesn't look like a living person when he looks cold."

Not to mention, under normal circumstances, the elder brothers would be raised by the elder brother until they were six years old before moving into the elder brother's house. The tenth and fourteenth were sent away after the full moon. When they were young, only slaves took care of them. The child's mother with a forehead is stunned, and she lives like a pitiful little mother without a forehead.

On weekdays, when the children went to pay their respects, it was just a matter of a few words, and there was no extra communication or concern. It would be considered euphemistic to say that the man was pure-hearted, and many people in the harem privately said that he was a hard-hearted man with a heart of stone. There is no trace of popularity at all.

Lin Shiyu was used to this, and suddenly remembered, "I remember seeing her at the New Year's banquet as if her complexion was not very good, but she was sick?"

"I never heard that the imperial doctor was called." Lianyi shook her head and replied, "Just now when the servants went to see her, it seemed that there was no difference, and they were still chanting scriptures."

"Go to the imperial hospital and ask someone to take a look. I always feel that her face is a little thicker. This doesn't look like her."

"Yes, this servant will send someone to the imperial hospital."

It's a pity that her kind-hearted people didn't appreciate it, and directly turned the imperial doctor away.

Lin Shiyu was also very helpless about this, seeing that she was busy and about to leave, she had no choice but to hold aside and wait until she came back.

Guessing that Kangxi was really being pestered impatiently, he could not wait to take his wife and children on the second day after he revealed the letter, which made the servants in the palace so busy that they hit the back of their heads, it was really a mouthful Run below.

In the past few years, Xiaotangshan has been well repaired and expanded. Not only the palace has become more comfortable and luxurious, but also other courtyards have been carefully repaired, and many other courtyards have been built on the extra land, some of which have been destroyed. It was rewarded to important officials of the court, such as Lin Ruhai, Suo'etu, and Mingzhu, and more than half of the rest are still unowned. It is said that they plan to keep them and distribute them to their sons and daughters in the future.

When power and throne are not involved, this is still a good Ama.

The bumpy journey was tiring and cold, and when he arrived at the palace, Kangxi didn't restrain himself any more. Seeing the children's eagerness to try, he waved his hands happily, "Let's all go to our own, and I'll tell you to take it easy today. From tomorrow onwards, it's still the same." Focus on learning."

Who wants to listen to the latter half, the children have already gone to have fun.

Brothers gathered together by themselves, and several little princesses happily went to pick out their favorite hot springs, and the rest of the ladies were not far behind, and left with smiles on their hands, no one cared about Kangxi , and when he suddenly turned around, there was only Concubine Hui left beside him.

"emperor……"

Kangxi didn't even bother to talk to her, and shouted at the backs of the group of women, "Imperial Concubine, I have something to tell you!"

Lin Shiyu paused, and said to the sisters with a regretful face: "You guys go and play first, I'll look for you later."

"Take it easy, don't annoy him again." Tong Zhilan grabbed her hand and whispered, "Seeing that the relationship between the two of you has eased in the past few days, don't..."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I really think I'm a thorn in the head." Waved goodbye to the beauties and sisters, turned and walked towards Kangxi.

"What are you still doing here? Didn't you hear that you have something to say to the imperial concubine? The older you get, the better your eyesight will be!"

Concubine Hui's face turned green, "The concubine resigns."

"Why does the emperor find his concubines?" Lin Shiyu asked straight to the point.

Kangxi said lightly: "There's no rush, let's talk about it after entering the room."

Lin Shiyu frowned subconsciously. Does this mean she has to go to the hot spring with him?

I don't know if I understood her eyes, but I saw Kangxi's face darken, and said with a sneer: "What's the matter, I have given birth to two children, and now I am afraid that I will look at it? Or are you looking at me to find an excuse to plot against you?" What about her beauty?"

Hey, beauty is really beautiful, can you plot?How big is his heart?

"Okay, don't dawdle, there is business."
