After his father and brother learned about it, they wanted to plead for Nian Gengyao, but they were sent back without even seeing Yinzhen's face. In desperation, they had no choice but to write a letter of trust and bring it to the Nian family.
Although Nian was in a low mood due to Hong Sheng's death and could not show her face at that time, after all, it was related to her brother's life and death, so she had to take care of everything, so she immediately packed up a little and went to the Yangxin Hall at night.
Si Xi saw Nian coming from a distance through the light, and hurriedly came up to greet her, saying, "I would like to pay my respects to the noble concubine. May your concubine be blessed."
She glanced at Si Xi and said, "Go in and report to the emperor, and tell me that I want to see you."
"Um..." Sixi rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "If I want to get back to you, Lady Hui is inside."
Nian Shi smiled coldly, lowered his head and stared at Sixi and said, "What's wrong? With Lady Hui inside, do I have no qualifications to ask for an audience? Or does it mean that Eunuch Xi thinks that I am not even as good as Lady Hui?"
Sixi heard the evil in Nian's words and said in fear: "I don't dare!" Before he could continue, Nian said coldly: "Then hurry in and report."
"Hey!" Sixi agreed helplessly. After knocking on the door and entering, she said bravely: "To inform your Majesty, Concubine Nian is requesting an audience outside the palace."
Yinzhen's eyes darkened. He knew very well why Nian came here at this time. When he was about to refuse, Shu Mulu said from the side: "Your Majesty, since the imperial concubine is here, I will leave first."
Yinzhen shook his head and said, "No, I've already asked the Jingsi Room to record your name. As for the imperial concubine, just ask her to come over tomorrow."
There was a slight smile on the corner of Shu Mululu's mouth, "But the imperial concubine has just lost her third brother, and she needs the emperor's comfort even more. If the emperor really feels bad, just change the name of concubine tomorrow."
Seeing that Mr. Shu Mulu was so understanding, Yinzhen nodded approvingly and said, "That's fine, I'll ask Sixi to take you back."
"Yes, I, my concubine, leave." Concubine Shu Mulu turned around and walked out. Sixi hurriedly ran a few steps and opened the palace door. When passing by Nian, Mister Shu Mulu knelt down and said meekly: "I, my concubine, pay my regards to the noble concubine.
, may the empress be blessed and safe."
Nian didn't even look at her and walked straight in, which made Shumulu quite embarrassed. Sixi whispered advice from the side, "This is the nature of the imperial concubine. In addition, the third elder brother was not there just now, so her mood was even worse."
Sorry, noble man, please don’t take it to heart."
Mrs. Shumulu came back to her senses and smiled softly: "Don't worry, Eunuch Xi, I'm fine." Seeing that Si Xi was going to get the palace lantern, she hurriedly said: "Just Ruliu will accompany me back. There is no need to send Eunuch Xi off again, no."
My legs and feet are tired."
Although Shumulu was quite favored, she never relied on her status as a beloved concubine to shout around at the palace people. This made Sixi very fond of her and said with a smile: "The emperor has ordered me to do something, but I don't dare to do it."
If you don’t comply, besides, this slave’s legs are used to running around, and it will be uncomfortable to be idle. Please, noble man!”
"Okay then." Mrs. Shumulu no longer forced herself, and let Sixi lead the way. She held Ruliu's hand and walked slowly towards Jingren Palace.
At the same time, in the Hall of Yangxin, Nian couldn’t wait to ask after saluting: “I heard that the emperor is going to transfer my brother to Tibet as a garrison general. Is it true?”
Yinzhen sat behind the imperial desk, then picked up a slender wolf-hair pen dipped in pine smoke ink and wrote slowly on the paper. His voice was as cool as water and sounded at the right time, "The imperial concubine has lived in the deep palace for a long time. Why would she care about the former dynasty?"
Is it so clear?"
"This..." Mrs. Nian knew something was wrong. Yinzhen didn't like the harem interfering in the affairs of the previous dynasty. Even the queen had to go around in circles to bring something up. It was really inappropriate for her to ask so rashly.
But the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to regret, so I had to tell the truth: "It is my father who wrote to me."
"Nian Xia Ling?" Yinzhen raised his wrist, and the word "year" was formed on the paper. He narrowed his eyes and said: "He is also a veteran of two dynasties. He should know the rules of the harem not to interfere in politics, but he still writes to you.
, I’m really an old fool.”
Seeing Yinzhen reprimanding his father in front of him, Nian was unhappy, but he couldn't help it. He could only lower his eyebrows and said: It's not that his father didn't understand, he was just worried about his brother's safety, and the emperor refused to see him. He was really helpless.
I just wrote a letter to inform my concubine."
Yinzhen said without raising his head: "Rules are rules. How can they be broken by just saying something out of necessity? If everyone is like this, then why should we have rules?"
Nian didn't expect that Yinzhen would speak so without leaving any room, and his attitude towards her would be cold and distant, without Mori's gentle words and pleasant expressions. It was as if he had changed into a different person, which made her at a loss. It took her a long time to make up her mind.
: "The emperor taught me a lesson, but I privately believe that this is not all a matter of the previous dynasty. After all, he is also my biological brother. It is not inappropriate for me to ask about it."
"Nian Gengyao made a mistake, and I demoted him as the Tibetan garrison general. What's wrong with that?" he asked, always looking calm without any fluctuations.
"But Tibet is a bitterly cold place. Except for the local residents, it is difficult for others to adapt. In addition, the people's customs are fierce and may cause trouble at any time. In addition, in the past two years, the three generals have
Something happened before and after, and the emperor asked the concubine's brother to take office, wouldn't he push him into the brazier?"
"Unbridled!" Yinzhen, who had always been calm and calm, suddenly got angry. He put the wolf brush on the case and said: "Who taught you to say these treacherous words? Nian Gengyao is my minister, how can I harm him? As for saying
Tibet is a bitter and cold place, so according to your wishes, no one should be sent there?"
Nala's expression paused, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I don't mean that, but why is it my brother? Even if the emperor wants to demote him, there is no need to demote him to a place like Tibet."
"Then where should I be demoted? How about the imperial concubine telling me the rules?" Yinzhen's tone became more and more unkind and cold. Nian didn't dare to contradict him anymore. She lowered her eyes and stared at her toes and said, "I don't dare, I, concubine.
I just hope that the emperor will see that my brother has put down wars many times and has made great contributions to the emperor, and let him live."
"I never wanted to put an end to Nian Gengyao's life. I had already sent people to investigate the incidents that happened to the previous Tibetan generals, but it was just a coincidence. To say that the people in the northwest are strong and strong, isn't it the same in the northwest? Since Nian Gengyao can take over the northwest
With such good governance, it is natural that a mere Tibet is not a problem. The imperial concubine is not here.
If you are telling me this here, it is better to write a letter and tell Nian Gengyao, asking him to live a good life in Tibet and make amends for his sins. As long as he does well, he may not have the opportunity to return to the capital in the future." Yinzhen's meaning is very clear, regardless of his age.
Gengyao has made many contributions, but mistakes are mistakes and must be punished without any room for return.
