Chapter 90
"Is Ronglu coming?" When I entered the main hall of the Ganqing Palace, my mood was completely calm. After the few hours after I returned to Beijing, a series of thunderous actions, coupled with the full cooperation of Yi Xin and others, the situation was completely in control. As soon as I entered the Ganqing Palace, I saw Ronglu who was kneeling in the center of the hall, and Liu Guangdi, Shanqi, who was standing beside him, looked at Zai Bing, nodded, and said to Ronglu who was in the center with a smile.
"Reply to the emperor's words, I have been here for a while." Ronglu's expression was calm, and his slightly thin face was still as calm as usual. He bowed respectfully and replied indifferently: "The emperor just returned to Beijing and is so diligent. It is really my blessing for the Qing Dynasty. However, the emperor's dragon body is important. I respectfully ask the emperor for the holy peace."
"I'm safe." I laughed and said, "But I feel uneasy. Ronglu, do you know what's going on?"
Ronglu was calm and replied calmly: "I know one or two, and it seems that some of the children of the royal family are misbehaving. But I think that those are all diseases of scabies, not confidants."
I walked back to the imperial seat and sat down, looking down at Ronglu who was kneeling under me. I secretly admired the person's firmness of concentration, but my face sank, and I raised my tone and said, "So from your Ronglu, what is the problem that is my confidant?"
"Reply to the emperor's words, my confidant in the Qing Dynasty, according to the silence, it is because the emperor is in full swing but no prince is born..." Ronglu's face did not change, but he really pointed out my biggest crisis at the moment. He only heard him continue to say: "If there is no heir to the country, the villain will have a different ambition. This is the source of the false thoughts of the children of the royal family. Emperor!" As he said that, he leaned down deeply and crawled on his body and said: "I respectfully ask the emperor to expand the harem. This year, the country will face a great victory. You can re-elect the beautiful girl to celebrate!"
After hearing his words, I was stunned. I didn't realize it before. Did our Comrade Ronglu really be such a loyal minister? I was stunned for a while before, but I saw that he had been crawling and I was in trouble again. I originally wanted to let him kneel for a while, but I didn't expect him to use this posture by speaking. If I asked him to get up, he would stand up and talk back and forth. If I wanted to express the meaning of letting him continue to kneel, it would be difficult to speak again. I couldn't say "Ronglu, kneel down for me" or "Ronglu, kneel up straight"...
"Ronglu, what you said makes sense." After thinking about it, let him get up. As the king, he was fighting with his ministers on this, which was too ridiculous. Then he smiled and said, "You are a man of a conspiracy in the country. Get up and talk." As he said, Xiang Shanqi looked at him and said, "Shanqi, I have returned to Liaodong to worship my ancestors this time, and I have encountered border troubles. I haven't found you to talk to you for a while. Is there any sign of what I assigned you last time?"
"Reply to the emperor." Shanqi walked to Ronglu, bowed and raised some of the files in hand over his head. I signaled Kou Lian to come over and read it. The investigation report of the rumor incident lasted tens of thousands of words. I drew the previous brief and looked at it. It was indeed no difference from the previous report, and it did not involve Ronglu.
I closed the book and put it on the case, looked up and said, "It's done well. You and Liu Guangdi have done a good job. I will reward you again. I have high hopes for you. My Qing royal family has withered and some disobedient people have appeared. It is because my virtue is a disadvantage. Prince Gong is getting older, so you should be more responsible for the affairs of the royal family. Today I ask you and Liu Guangdi to come. First, I am asking this matter. Second, the border has become increasingly troubled recently. Although the north has won a small victory, it is not enough to intimidate the young people. Wang Fengzao, the first thing I want to do is to copy you to Japan. It is also for this, what I mean, your Qing government office should have a dedicated person to be responsible for the external affairs, not only the East, but also the Western barbarians. Ronglu has more contact with foreigners, so you are closer. Liu Guangdi, you are still responsible for the past, and the affairs of the Ministry of Justice must be taken care of. I am particularly kind to you, and you should share my worries. Recently, the capital is uneasy, so please pay more attention. Well, that's what I mean, you two will kneel down and come to the palace to see me tomorrow." As he said, Xiang Shanqi winked, and Shanqi nodded.
The two of them retreated. I stared at Ronglu who was standing solemnly on the side. After a while, he was still in the same state, looking ahead, without saying anything.
Finally, I broke the embarrassment and said, "Zai Bing, take Ronglu to Yingtai to see those people, and tell the guards not to treat those masters unfairly. What should be supplied should be supplied, and don't mess with the nobles."
Zai Ting looked at me inquiring, and I shook my head. I knew what he was asking, there was no need for that, Shanqi's people would naturally take care of Ronglu and would ask me to come to the imperial examination without any matter. After Ronglu met those princes and grandsons, he might be more honest when he spoke in the Qing government office.
The two of them bowed and said, "Let's go to Zhongcui Palace." They got up and walked down the imperial throne and walked towards the inner palace.
When I arrived at Zhongcui Palace, I had to pass Chengqian Palace. When I passed by, my heart couldn't help but feel the faint eyes of Youlan, sighed inwardly, looked at the deep palace courtyard, and continued to walk forward.
In the yard of Zhong Cui Palace, I saw a woman kneeling straight, and several palace maids and eunuchs behind me were kneeling with each other. Longyu's bedroom had already held the lights, and there was no one at the door, and the palace was quiet.
"The Emperor is here--" As Kou Lian said, several women turned around and looked at me in awe and stepped into the courtyard. Perhaps because of the murderous aura on me today, several people couldn't help but tremble.
I ignored it and entered the bedroom with a calm face. I saw Longyu kneeling on the ground. I looked at him and signaled Kou Lian to go out.
"Your Majesty, I know I'm wrong." Longyu moved his knees, climbed up to me, hugged my legs and cried, and looked at me earnestly with his face raised.
"I don't blame you for being jealous. Jealousy is also a sin, do you know? But I don't blame you for this. I blame you for believing in other people's nonsense, which is too brainless!" I felt soft in my heart and helped her up and said, "Okay, okay, don't cry. You are the lord of the Six Palaces. You should be in charge of the things in the harem. It's like this for me to go out for two months? The one who is kneeling outside was specially called to ask you to ask, but you are kneeling here? You have a bit of the queen's temperament. Okay, take out the temperament of your Six Palaces and go out to ask the concubine Yu, who taught her what she said in front of you?"
"I... okay?" Longyu was still simple-minded. He had long forgotten to cry after hearing my long-term speech. He asked hesitantly: "I know I shouldn't listen to her nonsense. Concubine Rongqing was the one who grew up serving you. How could I... I was confused by the emperor..."
I was angry and funny. As I was talking, I went back again, but it was not easy to get angry. I coaxed me a few more words and said, "Okay, okay, I said I won't blame you anymore. Go, as I said, who taught her what I said. Go. The couple of Ronglu family waited for you in Chengqian Palace in front of me, go and do this. I'm here to make the decision, don't be afraid."
Longyu was so embarrassed that he finally went out to take out the queen's airs and asked. After so many years of kneeling, he lost any courage. After asking questions, he quickly asked the de Chang to express that it was the sister-in-law of Emperor Rongqing, who was actually more than teenagers older than Guangxu. When he entered the palace at the age of four, he was very kind to Guangxu and basically took care of Guangxu like a mother. So although he was named uncle and sister-in-law, he was actually like a mother and son. If Guangxu was really debauchery and shameless, he would not even let go of such a de facto mother, and Ronglu would advise me to be a talent show. For the reasons he said about the offspring that I also agree with, I would definitely agree with his suggestion, which further confirms my debauchery and shameless reputation.
An Emperor of Qing Dynasty rejected the nobles of Manchus. Yi Xin was expelled. Prince Rui and Prince Yu were idle. He killed Prince Qing, Prince Rui, and his son. He rejected the old ministers who planned the country, such as Weng Tonghe and others. He betrayed his ancestors and cut his braids. These rules provided propaganda for those children who were plotting against the rebellion. Everything was prepared for the reasons for the deposed emperor.
As for who is the mastermind, it is nothing more than three princes or their prince. Zaiying was obviously dragged into the water, and Ronglu was a general. Now I want to deal with them. It is very simple. There are only a few more bodies on the Yingtai. But I still have to wait for news from Zaifeng. The infantry commander's yamen will control the city guards, and there are about 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Xishan camp of Fengtai. If it is not in my own hands, more than 100,000 troops will pounce on me. The city will have only 30,000 to 50,000 troops and 50,000 troops in Shuntian Prefecture, and nothing can be done.
I finally didn't sleep that night. After the former concubine Yu Bai Ling committed suicide, I returned to my study in Yangxin Palace. After reading the memorials for a while, I felt upset again. Inexplicably impetuous, I still left the memorials that reported various things aside. I stood up and stood in the night wind, looking at the slanting moon in the sky, and my heart became more and more firm. I was waiting for me to do countless things. How could there be no difficulties if I had something to do? Let me die if I stop me!
He sneered coldly, and seeing Kou Liancai serving at the door, he suddenly remembered the Xiangning Palace where Caizi lived. It was just apart from my study. Kou Liancai came over and said, "Follow me to Xiangning Palace, no need to record the file. Please tell the kitchen to take the meal prepared in front and give it to the guards. You can eat something too. I will not be at peace when I come back to the palace. Thank you for your hard work. I will reward you again."
Kou Lian was very moved. When his knees were weak, he was about to kneel down to thank him. I reached out to help him, and smiled and said, "It's hard for Zai Bing, too. Go and tell him, if you are tired, just rest. I see that the moonlight is very good tonight..."
"Zha——" Kou Lian wiped his eyes, bowed in front of him to lead the way, and headed towards Xiangning Palace.
