The Rebirth of the Concubine Liang[Qing]

In the blink of an eye, the end of the year came, and after the new year, we officially entered the era of Emperor Chengzheng.

The year name was also changed to the first year of Chengzheng.

It's just that many people in the court have not recovered, or many people have been blinded by the power, and they are still fighting with Yinhu in the court, so that Yinhu still doesn't have much free time.

However, Yinhu did not fail to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and Yunguo. She came here more frequently than the concubines in the harem, and would come once every four or five days to show her filial piety.

Regarding this, Yunguo was noncommittal and left Yinhu alone.

The time of becoming the empress dowager passed faster than Yunguo imagined. She originally thought that she would have nothing to do and would be extremely bored all day.

But in fact, every day is very regular, planting flowers, painting, listening to ditties, and watching plays. The days are orderly and leisurely, and I don’t feel bored at all. On the contrary, I feel that time goes by so fast. The days of doing nothing are gone.

Soon it was the third year of Chengzheng.

The first emperor’s filial piety period has long passed. The 49th year of Kangxi was the year of the general election. It has been five years since there was a general election. Many girls are old, and many people still have no daughter-in-law.

There will definitely be elections this year.

What's even more attractive is that Yinhu looks young now. Although there are not many children, they are not many compared with the former emperor, and there are still many high-ranking points in the harem, and many people are staring at him. his harem.

But these are second-rate families, knowing that their family's background is not strong enough to qualify for the seat of Prince Fujin, so they want to give it a go.

After all, if Yinhu died according to the age of the first emperor, then there will be more than 20 years in the future. Looking at the beauty of the queen now, it is not yet known who will die in the future. After all, it is preemptive.

As for those first-class families, there are people of the right age in the family, and they are all staring at the seat of the emperor's eldest son, Fujin.

Compared with the future, right now the Queen has the right to take the lead. The so-called fast pace, although no one can say anything about the future, but the advantages are better than the disadvantages.

The queen is busy with this year's general election.

In fact, it's not just the queen, the empress dowager and Yun Guo are also not idle.

This time, in addition to marrying the eldest brother Hongwang and the second elder brother Hongang, they also want to marry the eldest sons of the triplets. Five grids will be selected in one go. Naturally, the Empress Dowager and Yun Guo also To help watch people.

After the re-election, a few show girls stood out from the encirclement, standing out from the crowd.

Not surprisingly, candidates for the prince's son Fujin and the prince's son Fujin will be born among them.

Yinhu didn't reveal anything to the outside world, but in fact, she was a little undecided about this matter. Seeing that everyone was doing well, she really couldn't make up her mind.

According to the previous habit, before the palace selection, Yinhu came to the Compassionate Ning Palace to listen to Yunguo's opinion when she had a free day.

After hearing Yinhu's reason for coming, Yunguo thought for a while and said: "There are only us mother and son here. There are some things that others don't want to tell you, but I don't have any scruples."

"Please press your forehead and speak frankly." Yinhu immediately sat up straight when he heard the words, as if listening attentively.

Yun Guo said with a serious face: "Hongwang is your eldest son, especially the empress. According to the custom, since ancient times, the rules of the princes are to set up a son to be a good son, not to be a good son, and we Manchus are the same. .Now in the eyes of many people, Hongwang Di Fujin will be the queen of Zhonggong in the future. Let me ask you, what is your expectation for Hongwang's future?"

After hearing the words, Yinhu was silent for a long time before opening his mouth and said: "Hongwang is the eldest son of the minister, and the minister naturally hopes that he can take over the seat of the minister. However, although he is well educated, he has not yet touched government affairs. I haven't fought against the courtiers, and I can't guarantee anything in the future."

It is false to say that he does not want the eldest son to succeed, after all, Hongwang is doing well now.

Leaving a good and excellent heir is also part of the test of the Mingjun, and many emperors have fallen on this.

However, after experiencing the conquest of the first emperor, Yinhu did not dare to guarantee that Hongwang would inherit the throne.

This is not a question of whether Yinhu is eccentric or not, nor is it a question of his reluctance to part with the throne, but with the change of age, status and environment, people's hearts will also change. He can't predict what Hongwang will think, nor can he predict what he will do idea.

In the first half of his life, he is a wise ruler, and in the second half of his life, he is a faint ruler.

There are more than one or two such emperors in history.

Yinhu is still young and has no major health problems. It is naturally impossible for him to pave the way for Hongwang now.

Yun Guo smiled and said: "Of course I understand what you mean, but there is a problem here, are you going to choose Hongwang's Fujin according to the standard of Queen Zhonggong, or just according to the standard of the prince's Fujin? There is a difference between the two.”

Just look at the former Crown Princess Guerjia and the current queen.

Yinhu hesitated.

The former is too obvious, I am afraid that many people will go directly to curry favor with Hongwang, and win a share of the merits of Conglong, which is not what Yinhu wants to see.

It's not that Yinhu has any objections to Hongwang at this moment, and he has a heart of jealousy.

It's that he knows too well what those people are.

He has experienced it himself, so he understands that, except for his elder brother Yinti who committed suicide, whether it is the abolished prince Yinreng or the prince Cheng Yinzhi, in the end, most of the reasons are not their own, but those behind them. People kept pushing them to fight, but they kept holding them back.

He was able to beat Prince Cheng Yinzhi so easily before, not because Prince Cheng Yinzhi met a few pig teammates.

Yinhu was hesitant because he was afraid that these people would bring Hongwang into trouble. After all, as long as some things were exposed, Yinhu would have to punish Hongwang even if he couldn't bear to punish him.

Just like when the first emperor abolished the crown prince, Yinreng, who abolished the crown prince at that time, really did that, and the late emperor had no choice but to abolish it.

After all, if they are safe and sound after the failure of raising troops to force the palace, then it will definitely be the second time to raise troops to force the palace, the third time, the fourth time... until it succeeds.

This matter must be punished.

But if he chooses the latter, Yinhu feels that Hongwang has been wronged.

Hongwang is smart, filial, in good health, and can read very well. Yinhu is optimistic about him as his heir. If he chooses a random Fujin, he really feels wronged and hurts his children.

"Can't you have the best of both worlds?" Yinhu whispered.

Yun Guo's eyelids twitched slightly when she heard the words, "There is a family of princesses who can barely have the best of both worlds."

Yinhu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Which one?"

"Gege from Empress Xiaozhao's natal family." Yun Guo announced the answer.

Ah!

Hearing this, Yinhu's expression became strange, and he asked curiously: "Eh, my son always thinks that you have a special respect for Empress Xiaozhao."

I gave favor to Concubine Gong before, and now I am optimistic about Niu Hulu Gege becoming Hongwang's first Fujin. I always feel better than many people.

"Leaving aside the fact that Empress Xiaozhao is kind to me, ask yourself, among the two empresses of the former emperor, who is more suitable for mothering the world?" Yun Guo asked very calmly.

It's not that she has any preference for the Niu Hulu family, but history has proved that Ge Ge of this family is indeed suitable to be a queen. They are capable but not cruel, scheming but not lacking in kindness. Self-interest, completely disregarding the life and death of others.

Of course, Yinhu didn't have a good opinion of Empress Renxiao, not to mention the grievances and resentments of the Hesheli family, when Empress Renxiao was alive, the heirs of Khan Ama died one by one, it was shocking to watch.

Regardless of the truth of the matter, whether it was Empress Renxiao's cruel means, or her lack of means to manage the palace affairs, causing the concubines and concubines to fight among themselves, and causing the servants to neglect their duties, it was enough to show that she was not worthy of being a mother.

"That's Yin De's daughter?" Yinhu thought for a while and said, "It's just that Yin De's official position is lower?"

Yin De is the sixth half-brother of Empress Xiaozhao, and this time the Niu Hulu clan is the only one who is of the right age to participate in the general election.

But because he was a concubine, there was Empress Xiaozhao's younger brother Faka in front of him, and his legitimate son A Ling'a in the back. Yin De, who was caught between them, was very inconspicuous.

The resources of the Niu Hulu clan are also not available for other use. After so many years, Yin De has also served as the first-class bodyguard.

But it was because of this reason that Yin De's character was much better than that of his elder brothers and younger brothers. He was respectful, sincere and simple, and he had never been in the guard for more than ten years.Years and salaries come in, the clan is equal, and everyone is virtuous.

Even Yongzheng, who hated Niu Hulu's clan so much in his previous life, commented on him: he has a sincere heart and behaves well.

"The first-class bodyguard is the third-rank guard. When the queen pointed it out to you, she, Ama, was the assistant leader of the fourth rank."

Yun Guo said: "Besides, it is because of his low official position that he can have the best of both worlds. And I heard from the late Emperor that Yin De's moral character can be said to be the best among his brothers, so I can rest assured that he will be well-educated."

In this general election, there are many big families like the Fucha family, the Dong E family, and the Shu Mulu family who have their daughters, Gege, participating in the general election. Naturally, their status is much better than that of Yin De's daughter.

So once Yinhu refers Hongwang to such a Fujin, it will definitely be over-interpreted by many people.

But what they didn't see was that Yin De had a small official position and no real power, but his surname was Niu Hulu!

If Hongwang had the ability, like Yinhu, he would naturally be able to tie the Niuhulu clan to his car.

If Hongwang didn't have such a great ability, he would choose a Fujin with a good family background, and he might be in danger of losing the imperial power in the future.

Yinhu himself came here in this way. He and the queen couple are affectionate and have means. Naturally, they have a good relationship with the Yue family, so they don't think it is difficult.

After trying to understand Yun Guo's thoughts, Yinhu couldn't help laughing: "It's still a good idea, then choose Yin De's daughter to be Hongwang's Fujin."

"What is my opinion, it's just that I have experienced more things."

The author has something to say: "Drafts of Qing History": Yin Degong is sincere and simple, and he has been in the guard for more than ten years, which has never happened.Years and salaries come in, the clan is equal, and everyone is virtuous.

Emperor Yongzheng: Yin De is the grandson of Er Yidu, the former Minister of Internal Guards.
