Just when the drought in northern Shaanxi was slightly relieved, someone in the court mentioned the matter of establishing a queen, saying that internal governance is the foundation of human relations. Now that the sixth palace has no owner, it is time to choose a virtuous and high-ranking concubine to succeed the middle palace.
Right inner curtain.
At the same time, some people proposed that the emperor select a person with both virtue and virtue from the Manchu and Mongolian families and establish him as the queen.
In short, there was a huge quarrel in the court for a while about the queen.
As a result, the emperor declined the request on the grounds that he missed the Empress Uranala of the Yuan Dynasty. He even used the precedent of the previous emperor's dynasty and subsequent vacant positions as an example to express that he did not want to establish another queen.
Since the emperor made his position clear, the matter could have been settled. But at this moment, someone came up with a suggestion and suggested that the emperor establish an imperial concubine to hold the phoenix seal and take charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace.
At this time, Yongzheng became angry, reprimanded, demoted his official position, and started to move away.
Shu Jin, on the other hand, remained calm and went to Wanfang'an as usual to serve the Queen Mother's decoction.
By the way, it’s just a case of diarrhea. After so many days of trouble, Queen Mother Wu Ya still hasn’t gotten over it yet!
Alas, it turns out that Queen Mother Wu Ya is really old.
"The imperial concubine holds the phoenix seal?" Empress Dowager Wu Ya sneered, "Concubine, this is directed at you!"
Shu Jin smiled faintly and said, "I am from a humble background. The Geng family has a high official position in the court and a lowly position."
My natal family has no ability to cause such a turmoil.
Therefore, Yongzheng was not stupid and could guess who was causing trouble.
Empress Dowager Wu Ya said: "This shows that Nian is not a peaceful person!"
Shu Jin sighed and was speechless for a moment. Concubine Dun probably also saw that it was impossible for the emperor to appoint two concubines to be honored simultaneously, so she came up with such a roundabout strategy. In addition, she was afraid that she also had the intention of killing her.
It's a pity that how could this small-mindedness be concealed from the wily Yong Zheng?
Therefore, it is destined to be just a farce.
Shu Jin smiled slightly: "Empress Dowager, such a commotion will have no meaning in the palace and the harem. The Emperor's Sacred Heart is dictatorial and no one can control it."
This is talking about both Nian and Empress Dowager Wuya.
Empress Dowager Wu Ya took a deep look at the increasingly wealthy and steady noble concubine, "The emperor has so many concubines, no wonder you are the only one who can reach this point." - Mr. Geng now, dare not say that he will win, but he is still sure of it.
.
The Queen Mother sighed quietly, "As an elder brother, he is strict with his younger brother. If he were a nephew, would he be more lenient?"
Shu Jin was horrified when he heard this. The Queen Mother was half buried in the ground, but she was thinking about what happened a hundred years after Yongzheng!
"Empress Dowager, it's time for you to take medicine." Cure your paranoia! Shu Jin cursed. Which concubine have you had a good impression of over the years? Why should you treat your youngest son well when your nephew succeeds to the throne?
!hehe!
But then again, among so many concubines, Shu Jin and the Queen Mother have the least grudge, so if Hong Zhou can win, the Fourteenth Master can really look forward to it. Anyway, it will not be worse than now.
Oops.
After drinking the bowl of bitter medicine, the Queen Mother looked bitter and said, "It's because of the incompetence of the Ai family!" Not only could she not help Xiao Shisi succeed, she could only watch him being imprisoned for so many years...
Shu Jin chuckled in his heart. It's not wrong to be incompetent. What's wrong is that being incompetent still causes trouble! After causing trouble, he still refuses to bow his head. Who can blame him?!
The Queen Mother glanced at the mute imperial concubine and couldn't help but feel a little irritated, "The Ai family is tired, please step back." Mr. Geng was cautious and would not make any promises to her.
Shu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Queen Mother has a good rest. I will come back tomorrow to take care of you."
It's rare to be able to leave early, it's really not easy.
When she returned to Danning Palace, she found an old emperor pestering her in her study.
That's right, since Yongzheng took drugs, Shu Jin found that he was aging faster. Coupled with the years of paperwork and lack of sleep, he looked like a bad old man.
No, no, he's just a bad old man.
Shu Jin hurriedly stepped forward to greet the bad old man, "When did the emperor come?"
Yong Zheng put down the calligraphy and painting in his hand and couldn't help but said: "Your calligraphy is a little bit mature."
Being able to receive such praise from Yongzheng, Shu Jin was still a little proud, but his face remained humble: "I am a dull person, but I just write too much."
Yong Zheng nodded slightly: "Diligence can make up for weakness, this is the principle."
Shu Jin: Oh, I really can’t speak! Will I die if I praise me more?!
This bad old man is becoming more and more straight.
Yong Zheng glanced at Mr. Geng. He was as prosperous as ever and looked very good. He looked like he would live a long life. Yong Zheng couldn't help but feel envious, "You have been working hard these days, but you have not lost any weight."
Shu Jin: I eat and drink well, why should I lose weight?
Shu Jin touched his round cheeks and said, "The imperial doctor said that I have a good spleen and stomach, so I am inevitably richer."
It's better to be rich and safe.
Well, even if she is as thin as lightning now, she doesn't have to worry about her physical safety.
Yongzheng nodded slightly, "You are a lucky person."
As he said that, Yong Zheng suddenly changed the subject, "Have you heard about the recent events in the court?"
Shu Jin's expression tightened and he said cautiously: "Although I don't understand the important affairs of the court, I have heard about it."
Yongzheng sighed, "Don't take Nian's willfulness seriously. I have already decreed that Nian Gengyao will be demoted to the position of governor of Shanxi."
The governor is a high-ranking official in the border area, and he is still demoted?
It seems that a few years ago, Nian Gengyao was promoted to the governor of Sichuan. He had served for three years and returned to Beijing to report on his duties - oh, so he took the opportunity to cause this trouble in the court.
However, even though Nian Gengyao was a high official in the border areas, he had never held military power. He was completely different from the majestic Nian general in history. Therefore, the emperor demoted him with just one sentence.
Shu Jin smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will not argue with my sister, Concubine Dun."
Yong Zheng suddenly asked again: "You have to come back extra early today."
Shu Jin said: "The Queen Mother probably sent me back because she disliked my concubine."
Yongzheng said "Huh", "No one should suffer in front of the Emperor's mother? Why is it that the Nian family is the only one who suffers?"
To be honest, the Queen Mother just caught Nian to vent her anger, and the other concubines would only look bad...
Shu Jin smiled and asked, "I heard that my sister, Concubine Dun, suffered from the heat. I wonder if she's feeling better recently?"
Yongzheng said without comment: "It's just that she is squeamish."
Okay, it's true that he's pretending to be sick again.
"It's okay. The Queen Mother is in good health now, and she will be fully recovered in two days." Shu Jin said with a gentle expression.
Yongzheng frowned: "It's also the Queen Mother's fault. A minor illness can drag on for so long!"
Shu Jin: Listen, what do you think?
This time, the Queen Mother was not pretending to be ill, she was simply old and weak, so her illness was gone as easily as a thread. Of course, Queen Mother Wu Ya was angry in her heart, so she avoided Concubine Dun, a little punching bag, to prevent her from venting her anger.
, but wouldn’t it be better to go extra slowly?
Empress Dowager Wuya and Yongzheng were really enemies, mother and son!
