Liang Jiugong repeated the oral instruction word for word, and the Yikun Palace suddenly became quiet.
After hearing this, Nanny Dong, Wen Yuan, Rui Zhu and others could hardly maintain their original respectfulness, secretly revealing the same annoyed expression as Manager Liang.
Is His Majesty flirting with the Empress?
Nanny Dong thought with complicated thoughts, is it really a good idea for you to let Liang Jiugong pass on this message?
I am old and cannot bear this, Your Majesty.
As for Yun Xiu, she was stunned for a long while, her eyes were indescribable, and she didn't know what expression to make.
What kind of oral instruction is this?
She couldn't figure out what the emperor had been thinking about since he had the dream.
Being stared at by the palace servants with their piercing eyes like searchlights, even though Concubine Yi had experienced many ups and downs and had trained herself to be indifferent to fame and fortune, she still felt uncomfortable.
The implication of these words was that she loved him so much that she was jealous and upset with Concubine Liang; she was put under such a huge accusation, completely at her will and without any reason.
She cursed Kangxi several times in her heart, then moved her lips, her ears turned red, and she stammered, "Your Majesty, do you have anything else to say?"
Liang Jiugong completed his mission, as if he had broken through his psychological defenses, and his whole person was sublimated.
He was indifferent, and restored his former demeanor as the chief eunuch who roamed the palace, and said with a smile: "In reply to your Majesty, the emperor has only allowed this sentence to be passed on, nothing else.
By the way, do you have anything to tell me?"
Thinking of the hopeful look on His Majesty's face as he tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth before leaving, Liang Jiugong sighed silently and quietly, bowed slightly, and prepared himself to be a mouthpiece.
He pricked up his ears, wanting to hear Concubine Yi's "five-star praise"
"I have something to say," Yun Xiu came back to her senses and said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty feels it, but I don't."
Still want me to be moved?
I'm used to you.
Liang Jiugong: ""
After accepting the case of the Eighth Prince's disappearance and then punishing Concubine Hui, Kangxi's mood was not very good at first.
These women in the harem have one face in front of him and another face behind his back.
He originally thought that Concubine Hui was a dignified, virtuous, and good householder, just like Concubine Yi, who was consistent in appearance and character. He was generous with his rewards and praises, and even praised her as a loving mother. However, he did not expect that she would take back his words not long after, which made him look very embarrassed.
It is said that a king never jokes. How is Huifei's behavior different from deceiving the king?
Even if Yinsi's biological mother was of low birth, and even if Little Eight grew up in the mud, he was still his son, the noble prince of the Qing Dynasty. This was not a reason for Nala to indulge a mean slave and not care about him at all!
First it was the Imperial Noble Consort, then Concubine Wu, Concubine Xi, and Concubine Ping. After the Emperor saw through their true characters, he saw more and more clearly the endless means and calculations in the harem, and became more and more annoyed.
Either he is stupid, vicious, or has a dishonest conduct and has been caught by someone.
It’s better to look at Xiuxiu more and freshen your eyes more!
Thinking of Yunxiu, he recalled the scenes in Cining Palace this morning.
The emperor's heart suddenly moved, his expression turned from gloomy to bright, and he whispered a word to Liang Jiugong. Then the corners of his mouth curled up, with a little expectation in his eyes, and he calmly flipped through the memorials.
After an hour, Liang Jiugong finally came back panting, complaining in his heart, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, Master Yi, please tell her that she doesn't feel it."
That's not right.
Kangxi was stunned, knocked on the table, and glanced at him uncertainly: "Did anyone spread my oral instructions inaccurately?"
Liang Jiugong shuddered and shook his head quickly: "How dare I, Your Majesty?"
Kangxi fell into deep thought, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and a hint of enlightenment flashed through his mind.
"Have your mistress's ears or face turned red?" he asked.
Liang Jiugong responded in a daze, “There should be, right?”
"Yes, yes." Liang Jiugong replied with a guilty conscience, patching himself up frantically, "I only took a quick look and didn't dare to look directly at the queen."
Kangxi turned his ring and chuckled, "I knew it, her shy personality has never changed, and she is really jealous.
If I don't appease her tonight, I don't know how she will frame me."
After a while, the emperor withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and began to read the memorials with pleasure, leaving Liang Jiugong standing there with a blank look in his eyes and swallowing his saliva.
Is Concubine Yi shy?
Are you jealous?
Why do I feel the opposite?
stop.
You are the emperor, so it is what you say.
Concubine Hui lost her status as an adoptive mother and was fined for half a year. The Eighth Prince returned to Concubine Liang, and the mother and son moved to a side hall in the Cining Palace.
The news that followed quickly spread out of the Forbidden City. For Mingzhu, who was quietly waiting for an audience with the emperor, it was bad news.
His face changed drastically and his eyes narrowed slightly. She was fine a few days ago, so why was the queen punished?
A salary deduction is not a big deal, and even house arrest is not going to cause any serious harm.
But without the Eighth Prince, how can the Empress's plans be carried out, and how can she pave the way for the Eldest Prince in the future?
You know, the Eighth Prince's biological mother was of low birth and also lived in the Yanx Palace. There was no better person to help than him.
The relationship between brothers can be cultivated from an early age. No matter how close the Crown Prince is to the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince, it cannot compare to the relationship between the Eldest Prince and the Eighth Prince.
After all, the fourth and fifth princes did not live in Yuqing Palace!
This matter is very strange. Why did Concubine Liang get the right of raising the child?
Mingzhu had a hunch that Concubine Hui was being plotted against. He paced back and forth in the hall with a gloomy face, and told his confidants, "Go and find out why Concubine Hui was punished.
Come, prepare the sedan chair, I need to go to the palace."
He has important business to discuss with the Emperor.
If you can plead for the Empress, that would be the best. If not, you must hold the eldest prince back and tell him not to be impulsive and not to rashly speak up for the mother. Otherwise, you will add fuel to the fire and make the Emperor furious, which will only result in more harm than good.
After considering all aspects, Mingzhu frowned and solemnly handed the sign to the palace.
Before he had waited long, someone came to the Qianqing Palace. It was Liang Jiugong's personal disciple, Little Lizi. When Little Lizi saw him, he said respectfully, "Look at me, I'm so lucky!
The Prime Minister has arrived just in time, as His Majesty is about to summon you to an audience."
His Majesty is about to summon him?
Seeing Leo's attitude, Mingzhu narrowed her eyes, with many thoughts in her mind.
Walking along the long palace road, he quietly handed Little Li a red envelope when no one was paying attention: "Eunuch Li, I dare to ask, is the emperor in good health?"
This is a disguised way of asking Kangxi whether he is happy or angry, and whether he is in a good or bad mood.
Little Li looked at the red envelope, took it without changing his expression, and smiled respectfully and cordially, "Master Zhongtang, don't worry. The Emperor is in good health and has just summoned many masters. Please come in."
Because of Concubine Hui's matter, Mingzhu felt a little anxious, but her face was so calm that nothing could be seen.
Little Leo spoke, but it seemed as if he said nothing.
However, since he was willing to accept the red envelope, it meant that the emperor had not yet taken his anger out on him, so he could rest assured.
When they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Mingzhu patted her sleeves and knelt down: "Your servant Mingzhu, kowtows to His Majesty."
“Coming?
Get up." Kangxi glanced at him and continued writing without looking up, saying, "Hui Fei failed to control her subordinates, which led to the mischief of the servants. Yin Si disappeared, and the Empress Dowager was furious. No one's pleas were effective."
Mingzhu was startled and stood up a little slowly. Firstly, he was surprised that the emperor actually explained it to him, and secondly, he was surprised at the content of the emperor's words.
Such a huge mistake had happened in the palace, it's not your fault, it's not your fault!
"It's the fault of Concubine Hui. I can't make any hasty conclusions," he said in a low voice, his mind racing. "This is the internal affairs of the royal family. I have no objection, and I am not qualified to interfere! I am seeking to see the emperor this time because of the unusual situation in Mobei.
Since the change of leader, the Junggars have been engaged in horse trading and sheep raising, and have frequent exchanges with other tribes, and they are very high-profile. I think the Junggars will soon become a major concern for the court. "
Mingzhu, as the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace and the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, was a leader of the cabinet. Kangxi would ask him for advice on various affairs of the court from time to time.
From pacifying the Three Feudatories to pacifying the common people, Mingzhu indeed had extraordinary insights.
Hearing the words "I have no objection", Kangxi's expression softened a little. Apart from abusing power and excluding dissidents, Mingzhu Bisoetu knew the general situation.
Kangxi put down his pen and said in a deep voice: "According to what you said, what should we do?"
"Fight. But Shi Lang has just led his troops here, and the climate and terrain in Mobei are completely different from those in the south. This battle must not be taken lightly!
I think that the Qing Dynasty needs to rest and recuperate, and be ready for battle, so that we can know ourselves and the enemy." Mingzhu pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "When we pacified the Three Feudatories, the Green Camp was very glorious, and our Eight Banners soldiers should not lag behind."
What Mingzhu said was very pertinent and coincided with what the emperor was thinking.
The emperor and his ministers discussed the issue of military training for a long time, and for a while, Kangxi's anger towards Concubine Hui faded a little.
Seeing that the emperor was satisfied, Mingzhu thought that the time had come. He held his breath and bowed, and struck while the iron was hot, and asked about the memorial that nominated Tu Yue: "I think that Guo Luoluo Tu Yue is calm and steady, and he deserves the important task."
Kangxi paused, then smiled and said, "Look at me, I have forgotten about this."
"If you hadn't come, I would have summoned you too. Hang Ai also submitted a memorial, recommending Tu Yue to take up the post of the Ministry of Revenue and promising him the position of Left Vice Minister, which coincides with your idea." Seeing Mingzhu's surprised expression, the emperor's smile widened a little, and he said lightly, "To prevent you from being jealous of each other, I have thought about it for a long time and I think the Ministry of War is a good place for young people to hone their skills.
What do you think?
Several important officials in the Ministry of War were Kangxi's most trusted confidants, which was very different from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel.
In addition, the imperial court would have to send troops to the northwest in a few years, so Tu Yue could be said to have risen rapidly in the career, completely staying out of the struggle between the Nara clan and the Hesheli clan. This showed how high the emperor's hopes were for him.
As for the plan to drag Guo Luoluo into the water, it no longer works.
When did that old man Soetu have such an extraordinary reaction?
Putting aside other things, since the emperor could recommend him together with Hang Ai, wouldn't he have any doubts about Guo Luoluo's intentions?
Mingzhu was in disbelief, thinking it was a bad idea. She went back home and sank into the water, throwing the paperweight heavily to the ground.
There was a "bang" sound, and he slapped his head suddenly. Oh no, he actually forgot about the eldest prince!
"Empress Wu has an urgent matter to tell you. Please, Your Majesty, for the sake of Prince Rong, allow us to go to Yonghe Palace for a discussion." Not long after seeing Mingzhu off, Liang Jiugong heard the eunuch's whisper. He stepped forward and reported carefully.
"Princess Wu?" Kangxi threw away his pen and said calmly, "What is she going to do next?"
Liang Jiugong smiled and said: "Princess Wu said that the situation is urgent."
Kangxi frowned, but before he could reply, someone came to report that the eldest prince wanted to see him.
"Father." Yinzhi knelt on the floor, his handsome face full of grievances, "Mother has always taken good care of my eighth brother, and I have seen it all. Either those cunning servants deceived you, or you were tricked!
My son asks the Emperor to look into this matter!"
Kangxi laughed angrily, threw a memorial at his head, and cursed: "You saw it? Well, I want to know, when and where did you see it?
You are in the prince's residence, so are you looking at the plaque of the Yanxi Palace?!"
