[Comprehensive] The number one cannon fodder

Qianlong sized up the concubine Ling, his eyes full of inquiry, "What mistakes did they make, don't you know?"

The concubine looked at Qianlong with a little grievance, and replied softly: "I don't know, ever since the emperor annoyed my concubine, my concubine has regretted her past in the Yanxi Palace, raised her fetus carefully, and paid no attention to what happened in the palace. I don't understand. I know that I didn't do a good job in the past, and my status is low. It is the greatest honor of my life to be favored by the emperor. I just think about the emperor wholeheartedly, and care about the people the emperor cares about. Now that I am just a concubine, there are many inconveniences in my status. The concubine is negligent, but the emperor, the concubine always puts the emperor first, and will never deliberately do things that make the emperor unhappy."

Su Xueyun smiled. Looking at Ling Concubine's beautiful performance, she deeply felt that if this person is in the modern age, she must be at the level of a movie queen. She hasn't caught Ling Concubine's shortcomings so easily.

Qianlong felt uncomfortable when he saw Su Xueyun's smile. He used to advocate harmony between wives and concubines, but now for some reason, listening to his concubine's admiration for him in front of Su Xueyun, he felt like betraying someone. It was simply incredible .He coughed twice, and said: "It would be a good thing if you can really regret your past, no matter what your status was in the past, since you are now a concubine in the palace, you should abide by the rules in the palace, otherwise if everyone Seeing people outside casually, wouldn't the palace be in chaos?"

The concubine bowed her head obediently and blessed her body, "Yes, the concubine knew it was wrong, and I will definitely not be so confused in the future."

Qianlong looked at her struggling to salute with her stomach outstretched, and said, "You are heavy, please give me a seat."

Upon hearing this, the concubine immediately raised her head in surprise, and looked at Qianlong with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Qianlong averted his eyes lightly, pointed to the kneeling people, and said: "Fifth elder brother and Fu Erkang were so bold that they rescued Little Swallow from prison, and even knocked Ziwei unconscious to force her to escape from prison together." What do you think I should do with them?"

Ling concubine covered her mouth with a veil in surprise, and said sadly, "Fifth elder brother, Erkang! You... why are you so confused!"

The fifth elder brother lowered his head, "Ms. Lingfei, I just don't want to watch little Yanzi die. You know her. She doesn't understand anything. She is the most innocent person. Although there are mistakes, they are serious. To kill him?"

"Criminals who deceive the emperor should be punished. Do you think this sentence is a joke?" Qianlong snorted displeased.

The fifth elder brother said anxiously: "But Little Yanzi really regards you as a father, she has no other purpose, doesn't she?"

"So, as long as there is no other purpose, anyone can approach me at will? What if she is an assassin? I'm afraid my head will fall off! If I don't deal with her today, will all the bullies and criminals be able to do it in the future?" Forgive me? Doesn’t that mean that the whole world will come to deceive me?”

"Huang Ama! Little Swallow is not an assassin!"

The concubine got up and said: "Your Majesty, they are still children, and they may have done something wrong. Just teach them more. Don't get angry with them, so as not to get angry. In fact, they are very sensible on weekdays." , I am also very concerned about you, they just used the wrong method, and they are not bad-hearted children. I think that even if they are wrong, I can forgive them once. If they make mistakes again in the future, it will not be too late to convict them. .”

Qianlong looked at Su Xueyun and asked, "What does the queen think?"

Su Xueyun smiled lightly and said: "The state owns the state laws, and the family has family rules. If you do well, you should be rewarded, and if you do wrong, you should be punished. The emperor is a role model for the world. If you can't stick to this, it may affect the emperor's prestige. But the concubine thinks The royal reputation should be the most important thing. After all, this matter cannot be brought up on the stage, so there is no need to mention it to the outside world. Since this is the case, how the emperor wants to deal with it depends on the emperor's wishes, and the concubine will have no objection."

Qianlong looked at the fifth elder brother and the others, pondered for a moment, and said: "Yongqi's conduct is not correct, he will be confined for three months to reflect on his own mistakes, and take back the right to freely enter and leave the palace. After three months, concentrate on studying and learn from the book. It makes sense. Ziwei has been found out to be my daughter. She was soft-hearted and cheated. She has always felt guilty and painful. Although she was wrong, she is forgiven. Let’s learn the rules and don’t do unreasonable things again.”

The fifth elder brother and Ziwei both kowtowed and thanked each other. Although they were sad to hear such a punishment, they were still relieved.But then they were worried about Little Swallow and Vulkan again, and their expressions were still tense.

Qianlong said slowly: "As for the little Yanzi, who deceived the emperor, stole, made trouble in the palace maliciously, escaped from prison, and had no intention of repentance. My concubine's relatives violated the palace rules, intended to deceive me, and robbed the prison. It can be said that they committed crimes knowingly and unforgivably.

Several people looked at Qianlong in disbelief, and couldn't accept that he decided life and death so casually. Liu Qing and Liu Hong were full of regret, and they were too scared to move.

The fifth elder brother took a few steps forward and said sadly: "Huang Ama! You can't be so heartless! Have you forgotten the happiness that little swallow brought you?"

Ziwei also hurriedly pleaded, "Your Majesty, Erkang is just an accomplice, please forgive him!"

Little Swallow followed, shaking her head non-stop, her eyes widened, looking particularly dissatisfied.

Qianlong sneered, "Wu Shulai, take away her cloth strip and let me see what she has to say."

"twitter!"

Wu Shulai took out the little Yanzi's cloth strip, and the little Yanzi immediately shouted: "You can't kill me! You have no reason to kill me! When you took me to the memorial ceremony, you said you recognized me as a righteous daughter, what are you doing?" Have you ever said that I am your daughter? If you say that I have deceived you, then you have deceived the world!"

Su Xueyun smiled lightly, "Hey, isn't this very eloquent? Why don't you always understand people's language?"

Little Yanzi glared at her fiercely, "What's none of your business? I know, you have also adopted a adopted daughter. You must think that your daughter is not as favored by the emperor as I am, so you deliberately harmed me so that you can let her be loved by the emperor." Your daughter is the most favored Princess, isn't she?"

Su Xueyun smiled and said: "You are right in your first sentence. What does this matter to me? You pretended to be Gege yourself. Could it be that Bengong did it for you? What has to do with me is only the rules of this harem. You are a fish You want to pretend to be a pearl, and it’s none of my business outside the palace, but it’s absolutely not in the palace, you can’t get out of your head, you don’t have to think about this awkward seat, anyway, you’ve been yelling If you don't want to be a princess, you shouldn't be greedy, right?"

"What kind of fish eyes and pearls, don't tell me some gossip, and I don't want to tell you!" Little Yanzi looked at Qianlong and asked, "I said I didn't want to be Gege, but you said no." Let me mention this sentence again. If I am wrong, you are also wrong. Didn’t you say that the emperor’s mistakes are the same as those of ordinary people? Why don’t you have to be punished? Don’t you have to obey the rules? Then what kind of emperor are you? I don’t agree! "

"Little Swallow!" Fifth elder brother exclaimed, hurriedly covered her mouth, and pleaded, "Huang Ama, little Swallow has always been so outspoken, don't blame her."

Qianlong narrowed his eyes when he saw the intimate movements of fifth elder brother and little Yanzi, "I will punish her to death, and I will add another charge of disrespect and disrespect. I don't think she will ever understand what it is." It's called imperial power."

The fifth elder brother was so anxious that he saw Wu Shu coming in with a tray with poisoned wine on it, he couldn't care less, kowtowed vigorously, and shouted: "I beg the emperor to take back my order, I can't live without the little swallow." ah!"

Qianlong straightened up, suppressing his anger and said: "Please tell me clearly, what do you mean you can't live without Little Swallow? A few days ago, you were brothers and sisters. How come I have never seen you care so much about your other sisters?"

The fifth elder brother put his head on the ground, and said without hesitation: "Huang Ama, I like the innocence of little Yanzi, I like that she writes everything on her face, you don't have to guess, I like her all kinds of clever and weird ideas , I like her carefree smile, Huang Ama, I beg you, I really can’t do without her! If you must chop off her head, my heart will die with her, you Do you want to lose your pistachio and your son for a moment of anger?"

Qianlong threw a cup on his head and sneered, "Are you threatening me? Do you think that as long as you say that, I won't dare to kill her? I really don't lack a son like you!"

The two little eunuchs held Xiao Yanzi tightly, and Wu Shulai was about to pour her down with poisoned wine.Little Yanzi yelled anxiously, "Why do you kill me? Let me go! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even know you have a daughter! You are sorry for Ziwei's mother, I am sorry for Ziwei, and now you have to be sorry for your son You are so pitiful, you are sorry for them, and sooner or later they will also be sorry for you, you will never get family affection!"

"Presumptuous!" Wu Shulai yelled lightly, and slapped Little Swallow on the face, "How can you be so presumptuous in front of the emperor!"

The fifth elder brother got up instantly, kicked Wu Shulai over, kicked away the two eunuchs who were holding Xiao Yanzi away, stood in front of Xiao Yanzi, and shouted: "Huang Ama! If you want to kill, kill together! I will die with her !"

The concubine wiped the corners of her eyes, choked up and said, "Your Majesty, this is the first time this concubine has seen the fifth elder brother so stubbornly wanting to do something. Little Yanzi is just an insignificant role, but the fifth elder brother is not Ah, he has always been your favorite son, but now he just wants a female prisoner, so why not? Why bother to quarrel between your father and son because of such a small role? You really don't like Little Swallow, so tell her not to allow it in the future It’s enough to leave Jingyang Palace, isn’t it?”

"You should ask Yongqi, why did you disobey me for such a small role? It seems that my favor in the past was all wrong!" Qianlong's face was gloomy. He went to Kunning Palace every day during this period, and it's not that he hasn't changed. , at least he is less affected when he hears these fallacies now, and all the co-authors make mistakes and finally blame him for not being tolerant?

Qianlong looked at Ziwei again, and said very displeasedly: "You want to die with Fu Erkang too? Yongqi likes little swallows, but you like Fu Erkang? You are a girl, and you don't obey your parents' orders and the words of a matchmaker. Is this how you set your life up privately? Is this how your mother taught you?"

Ziwei's complexion changed, and she shook her head again and again, "No! My mother didn't teach me that way. My mother taught me to keep myself clean and to be a clean girl. That's why when Fujin asked me to be Erkang's concubine, I refused straight away. Yes, I will not embarrass my parents. But the emperor, in my most desperate and painful time, it was Erkang who saved me. The grace of saving my life is beyond heaven. He helped me find a way to enter the palace to see you. It is also a great kindness, how can I be ungrateful..."

Ziwei couldn't cry, and Vulkang looked moved and righteous beside her.The concubine also showed a moved expression, and persuaded: "Your majesty, they have really experienced a lot of pain, so don't let them suffer any more? The emperor has always had a kind heart, so be kind to them. I believe they will I am grateful, and I will never do anything to make the emperor sad."

Qianlong laughed angrily, "Oh? Can you guarantee them? If they make another mistake, will you be the same as them? If they commit another crime of losing their heads, will you die with them? Or In your eyes, they cheated me and robbed me. Could it be that I caused their suffering? Lingbi, Lafayette released your confinement to let you go to the imperial garden in the market, which is conducive to raising a baby. , I didn’t ask you to tell me what to do!”

The concubine quickly knelt down on the ground, "I dare not, Your Majesty, you have misunderstood my concubine, I just don't want the emperor to be sad when he thinks about their friendship in the future."

Qianlong snorted coldly, didn't cry out, and told the air: "Yingyi, go and see if the palace servants around Lingbi have confessed anything. No matter what method you use, I want them to tell the truth! Today I want to tell you the truth." See if this Xieyu flower is real or not!"
