As if to confirm the auspiciousness of the fifth elder brother, not long after the birth of the child, Jiang and Cui Jia were diagnosed with pregnancy.
For a time, everyone in the palace had no doubts about the destiny of the fifth elder brother. Concubine Hui, who had always been jealous of the harem, also gained the respect of the good nobles and the pure nobles.
Jiang and Cui have been doting favors for many years, and once they are happy, they are really happy. The queen is also heartily happy for Jia Guiren's pregnancy. Since the death of her third elder brother Yong Ying, she can finally relax her tension.
.
On this occasion, the investigation into the Yonghegong Lama Temple assassination case also came to light.
Prince Zhuang Yunlu made a mistake, so he was dismissed from all jobs and fined one year's salary to set an example.
It's not that Hong Zhou didn't want to be severely punished, but that Prince Zhuang was indeed unaware of Hong Li's plans and was simply deceived by his good nephew pretending to be pitiful. Secondly, Prince Zhuang was Hong Zhou's uncle after all, and he was also the emperor's emperor.
Hereditary prince--this title cannot be revoked casually. Even if the title is revoked, the iron hat of hereditary prince must be found to be worn by a suitable person, which will inevitably cause a lot of troubles.
Furthermore, Prince Zhuang, a good old man, is still very popular. In the past, Prince Zhuang was very kind to all his nephews, and Hong Zhou also had some affection for him. Since this uncle was just derelict in his duties at most and was a bit of a fool, he
I can't bear to be too harsh.
"The Prime Minister of the Lama Temple will be appointed by Prince Lu from now on." Hong Zhou's tone was as if he had thrown away a piece of bone. "This will save him Fu Jin from bothering Concubine Shu and the Queen all the time!"
Shu Jin:……
Prince Fu Jinna of Lu County was the daughter of Ma Qi, the great bachelor and the Taibao. Concubine Fucha Shunhua was the niece of Ma Qi.
After Yongzheng's death, Ma Qi became an official. It's not that Hong Zhou didn't try to retain him, it was mainly because Ma Qi was over eighty years old and his liver was really weak. Even so, there was still a lot of drama between the emperor and his ministers.
He stayed and procrastinated until the spring of the first year of Taihe, when Ma Qi officially retired.
After losing his father-in-law, an evergreen tree in the political arena, King Lu became even more worried. He was always worried that his title as king would be lost. Although the Prime Minister of Yonghe Palace had a high rank, he actually had no real power.
It's just a glorious idle job.
Hongzhou gave this position to Prince Lu, which meant that he would not make trouble for no reason and deprive Prince Lu of his title.
"Prince Zhuang is really too confused. The chef lost the knife, but he just thought it was stolen by the cook!" Hong Zhou was so angry that he wanted to roll his eyes, "But the expenses of the Lama Temple are indeed a bad debt! Especially those cooks, none of them
Clean hands and feet!”
No wonder Hongli was able to fish in troubled waters! Shu Jin had a black line, and this Prince Zhuang... was not lying down, but was ruined! Corruption in the Yonghe Palace was common, but he turned a blind eye - after all, it was the emperor who was corrupt
If he checks the money strictly, it will definitely hurt people's popularity.
"This kind of crappy stuff should never be used again!" Shu Jin felt disgusted in his heart. The trip to Yonghe Temple became such a mess, all because of Prince Zhuang's dereliction of duty!
Hong Zhou nodded: "My son thinks the same way, let him guard the king and spend the rest of his life free and retiring!" I don't dare to use such a person!
Shu Jin waved his hand and didn't bother to continue to be angry. Hongli came for her as the big boss, but in the end, he lost everything against two small soldiers in the first wave!
Thinking about it this way, Shu Jin not only stopped being angry, but actually found it funny.
"He looked down on women the most in his life, but he died at the hands of a woman in the end! It's really a retribution!" Shu Jin couldn't help laughing.
Hong Zhou was speechless and choked: You can still laugh!
"Empress Huang, do you know that the dagger is coated with poison?" Hong Zhou said solemnly.
Shu Jin was stunned, "Forget it if he stole the watermelon knife from the kitchen, where did he get the poison?!" - Could there be an accomplice?
Hong Zhou said with a dark face: "He secretly caught poisonous insects and snakes himself, and obtained a lot of venom from them."
Shu Jin: Damn it, when ordinary people see those little cuties, they want to hide away, but this guy actually caught them to get the poison!!
"He's afraid that he won't be able to kill me with one knife!" Shu Jin said in a black line.
Hong Zhou said calmly: "Don't worry, the poisonous juice is not very toxic, and it won't be much if you apply it on the knife. If you cut it with one knife, it will definitely not kill anyone."
Shu Jin's face turned even darker: "But it can kill people!"
Hongli was stabbed to death by his own knife!
Gee, it’s quite refreshing to think about it!
Hong Zhou whispered again: "Emperor's mother, the one from Savatthi City... we should take care of them together."
Shu Jin was silent for a long time before saying: "Niu Hulu is just a lame old woman now..."
Hong Zhou sighed: "My son knows that you are kind and merciless, but now it is her only son who dies. Does Huang Eniang think that if it were you, you would be able to endure this revenge?"
Shu Jin was speechless for a moment.
"Don't worry, my son will be well and well arranged. The man on the left and right is a commoner, and his death is just an ordinary matter." Although Hong Zhou's voice was low, it was full of cruelty.
Shu Jin was speechless. She had no reason to stop Hong Zhou from eradicating the root cause.
The hatred of killing a son can be regarded as a life-and-death affair. Shu Jin asked herself, if someone killed Hong Zhou, she would definitely do everything in her power to avenge her.
"Alas!" In the end, it just turned into a sigh.
In the autumn of the first year of Taihe, Niu Hulu, a commoner in Savatthi City, contracted wind and cold, but there was no treatment or medicine. He suffered for half a month and finally died on a cold bed. Shu Jin knew that it was Hong Zhou who ordered the hospital not to allow it.
Give her diagnosis and treatment.
"Send her to the concubine's mausoleum for burial." Shu Jin ordered Zhang Shoufa.
During the days when Niu Hulu was suffering from illness, Shu Jin had countless opportunities to save his life, but in the end she did not use this kindness.
Shu Jin smiled bitterly, as long as there was a slight possibility of threatening her and Hong Zhou, she would become particularly cruel.
Therefore, she has never been a good person.
Many years ago, she had thought countless times that if she became the final winner one day, she would treat Niu Hulu and her son well - but she didn't expect it, but now she almost sent the mother and son to hell with her own hands.
At this time, the eunuch Xiao Yantai quickly came in and reported: "The Queen Mother, Concubine Qian and Lady Ying have come to pay their respects."
Shu Jin didn't bother to think, so he chose the word "Qian" as the title for the Liu family. Now among the many widows of the late emperor, the Liu family is second only to Concubine Mao Degui, Concubine Mi and Concubine Qi in terms of status.
character.
Come to pay your respects today, Concubine Qian and Concubine Ying seem to be particularly happy, especially the Ying family, with a pair of beautiful eyes full of joy and willow eyebrows dancing, "Concubine, I heard that the Niu Hulu family is dead?"
Shu Jin nodded, "I have already asked people to send her to the concubine's mausoleum for burial."
Concubine Qian was startled for a moment, "Why does the Queen Mother need to repay evil with kindness?"
It was clearly her and Hongzhou's mother-in-law who killed Niu Hulu. Is this also called repaying evil with kindness?
Shu Jin said quietly: "The emperor even Hongli was buried with great splendor, so why should I be mean to the deceased?"
Seeing that the Queen Mother was actually expressing some condolences, Mr. Liu and Mr. Ying had no choice but to restrain their joy. Yes, these two people came here to take pleasure in others' misfortune.
Although the two felt that Niu Hulu was unworthy, they did not dare to disagree with the Queen Mother, so they had to praise the Queen Mother for her kindness.
Shu Jin was really not in the mood to listen to sweet talk today, so he just managed a few words.
Naturally, Mrs. Qian's concubine Liu quickly noticed the Queen Mother's impatience, so she pulled Ying's sleeves, knelt down and said: "The Queen Mother looks a little tired, so I and sister Yinglian will not disturb you to rest."
The two walked away smoothly. Shu Jin looked at the retreating figures of the two slender and graceful figures and sighed silently. Young people are so lively.
