The first lunar month has passed, when all things are recovering and the earth is returning to spring. The weather in the capital is much warmer than in the previous days. The common people are taking advantage of this rare sunshine to take out their quilts to bask in the sun. After a good night, they will go straight to the sun. There is a warm quilt to sleep on. The same is true in the palace. The eunuchs and maids first finish busy with the master, and then busy with their own. When they are free, they find a quiet place with sunshine to bask in the sun. The master is a If you are easy to talk to, you can also move a stool and chat there with some melon seeds.
Looking at the warm sunshine outside, Kangxi also had a whim. He no longer sat in the south room to review the papers. Instead, he took the bachelor Zhang Ying and the eunuch Chen Shuangxi to the imperial garden behind the Qianqing Palace to prepare for the rare sunshine. Take some time to relax and clear away the haze in your mind. Li Guangdi's impeachment this morning about Gao Shiqi's friendship with a close servant made him really angry. He was greatly disappointed with Gao Shiqi and also with Li Guangdi. Kangxi knew that Li Guangdi would not impeach and make peace for the sake of it. Gao Shiqi, who is an official in the same palace and is also a Han, must have some other factors involved. But regardless of whether Li Guangdi has other intentions, Gao Shiqi cannot be spared lightly. Zhang Chaoguang has been dismissed as the leader of the Qing Palace. As for the position of eunuch, Kangxi had worked with him for more than ten years and had no merit but hard work, so he did not execute him and left him a way to survive to guard the late emperor's mausoleum.
"This is the long live thing, this slave knows so much."
"So, Liu Dao's confession is the truth?"
"I don't know what Mr. Liu told Mr. Long Live, but I saw it with my own eyes. General Fu Guo really allowed his subordinates to act recklessly. The guards and the people in the infantry camp also saw this. I don't dare to "Deceiving the emperor." Chen Shuangxi said cautiously. He had also heard about Gao Shiqi's impeachment by Li Guangdi, and knew that Long live the Lord was very angry about it, so he did not dare to raise Shiqi's name.
"Zhang Ying, please tell me how this matter should be handled." Kangxi was noncommittal and glanced at Zhang Ying, a bachelor of Huadian University and Minister of Etiquette behind him.
Zhang Ying knew everything about Gutai, but now that the emperor asked him for his opinion, he couldn't accept it no matter what. On the one hand, it was because of Gutai's identity, and on the other hand, the Queen Mother's words Yizhi, with these two factors, as long as Gutai has not committed a serious crime of treason, nothing will happen to him. Although the emperor intends to punish him, according to the current situation, the thunder is loud and the rain is small, and the board is high. He lifted it up, lowered it gently, and gave him a gentle scolding. But Liu Dao was a little confused. Now that Prince Su has also joined in, he might not be able to keep his position. I don’t know. What did the emperor think? If the emperor wanted to protect Liu Dao, then the sky would fall. If the emperor couldn't stand Prince Su and the others, then it would be useless for anyone to protect him. After thinking for a few seconds, Zhang Ying He decided not to make any suggestions and left everything to the emperor himself to avoid being hated by Prince Su.
"This slave is stupid and dare not speak nonsense. Please give the emperor a clear judgment."
Kangxi heard this, glanced at him, and snorted slightly: "You, Zhang Ying, are becoming more and more naughty now, and you know how to act cunning in front of me."
"I don't dare!" Zhang Ying hurriedly tried to kneel down, but was stopped by Kangxi.
"You people, you have read a lot and are more sensible than the average person. However, when things happen, you tend to look around. You are afraid of this and that, lest you get yourself into trouble. You must be wise to protect yourself. Let me tell you, this is my side. It won't work. If I want you to say it, you have to say it. Why are you afraid of others? The Han people have a saying: Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. You guys, even if you treat me like a tiger all day long, you don't dare to take things lightly when encountering difficulties. No matter what you say, I will personally decide everything. If everyone among the ministers and workers is like this, then I will die from exhaustion."
After listening to the emperor's words, Zhang Ying and Chen Shuangxi lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Seeing them like this, Kangxi felt a little hesitant, so he did not say anything about it, and stood by the pool and watched the carp swimming around in the water.
, very interesting. Just as I was about to ask someone to bring some fish feed, I saw a familiar figure walking out of the corridor in front.
"This slave has met the master!"
The person who came was a young woman, wearing a cheongsam, but not dressed up in any way. She was quite simple. Her name was Fengyue, and she was originally a maid beside the deceased Queen Hesheli. That year, Yang Qilong rebelled, and the eunuchs in the palace rebelled and surrendered to the enemy.
As troubles broke out, Fengyue stepped forward to protect the queen and was stabbed in the leg. Later, the queen died in childbirth, and Fengyue became lame again. Kangxi saw her pity and gave her to the general Fei Yanggu.
She became his wife. Now, when he saw her entering the palace, Kangxi was very happy and said quickly: "Get up quickly, your legs and feet are not convenient, so don't do the big salute."
Fengyue stood up and said with a smile: "Master, this slave is the daughter of our Qing Dynasty, Tieguaili. Thanks to the emperor and Lafayette, her life is very good. My husband has been back in the capital for several days. He thought
I want to meet the master." Her husband, Fei Yanggu, is from the Zhengbai Banner of Manchuria. He is the younger brother of Emperor Shunzhi's Xiaoxian Queen. He is regarded as the uncle of the state. He is currently the minister of bodyguards and the minister of political affairs. He has a very high and powerful position. Two months ago
On the order of Kangxi, I went to Kouwai and just returned to Beijing the day before yesterday.
"Oh, Fei Yanggu is back? Well, after you go back, let him come to see me. Also, Feng Yue, you are a meritorious official of our Qing Dynasty. Didn't the prince get the title in your arms?
?No matter if you have something to do or not, you should come to the palace frequently. Firstly, you can chat with Lafayette to relieve his boredom, and secondly, you can take care of the prince." Kangxi was kind to the old people in the palace, especially this one, who was kind to the queen and the prince.
The old man liked it even more.
Fengyue is an outspoken person. As soon as Kangxi said these words, she complained with tears: "Oh, Emperor, forget it. Nowadays, the rules in our palace are getting bigger and bigger. These two
The new Sula eunuchs who came in this year all have dog eyes and are not human at all. I wanted to see my young master several times, but they blocked me all the time."
"Oh? If there is such a thing, others are not allowed to see the prince, so you can't do it either?" Kangxi was a little surprised.
"Alas! Master, I don't know, let alone me. Even Cai Xiu, such an honest palace maid in front of the prince, has been driven to the washing room to do hard work. I heard that Eunuch Zhao interceded for her and asked Jing Shi to do so.
The room was rejected..."
Hearing this, Kangxi's face changed color. He thought to himself that in the past two years, he had left all the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Mingzhu. I didn't expect him to dare to make such arrogant opinions and exclude the old people. What a bastard. Zhang Ying and Chen Shuangxi
When the two of them saw the emperor's expression, one of them secretly said something bad, and the prime minister had made a mistake this time; the other was secretly happy. In the past few years, the affairs in the palace have been under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they, the chief eunuchs of each palace, are really
After suffering a lot from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the emperor now knows that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not authentic, which is good news for them, the chief eunuchs.
"Shuangxi, you go to the Jingshi Room to convey my wishes. Zhao Fang is the old man of the palace. He was the eunuch of the Sixth Palace during the late emperor's time. You have to listen to him on matters in this palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has some control over it.
Don’t listen to them on everything. You eunuchs, big and small, must also have a sense of proportion when it comes to matters in the palace. Tell them that all the old people who have been kicked out in the past two years will be invited back to continue their duties in the same place. In addition,
Maple Moon owes a lot to me and the Crown Prince. Whenever she wants to see the Crown Prince, no one is allowed to stop her. Tell the people in the Jingsi Room to be careful, I want to investigate this matter!"
"Hey, I'll do it now, slave!"
After hearing what the emperor said, Chen Shuangxi was overjoyed. The emperor's words couldn't be more clear. From now on, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will no longer be able to control our family! He turned around and quickly went to deliver the decree. Feng Yue also said goodbye and left the palace.
.Looking at the backs of Kangxi and the others, Kangxi felt a heavy feeling in his heart: Once this pearl gained power, he boldly interfered in the affairs of the inner palace, even to the point of isolating the prince from interacting with others. He was really a bastard! But then he thought again,
Since he is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is better to be strict about the prince's affairs than to let things go unchecked. He cannot punish a first-rank minister just by saying a word. As he walked back, he silently thought about his thoughts, unconsciously
Arriving at the Yangxin Hall, Zhang Ying looked heavy, wondering what impact this incident would have on the court situation.
