Chapter 2283 Six Volumes 338 Prepare in Advance ([-] Words Complete)
The emperor came out of the empress dowager's bedroom, although his head was still half down, but Gao Yun, who was short, looked over from his perspective, and after all, he caught a glimpse of the smile hidden in the corner of the emperor's mouth.

Naughty, like a child.

With his head half down, the emperor walked out of the Changchun Garden quickly, and finally raised his head.

The rain stopped.

Following yesterday's heavy rain, from morning to night, it was another drenched rain this afternoon.

At this time, after the rain, the cool breeze hits the face, sweeping away the thirst that has been in my heart for many days.Between the sky and the earth washed by the rain, the night is already vaguely floating, and the mountains and towers near and far are looming.

Even though there was a rain, after the rain, the sun still stubbornly came out of the sea of ​​clouds in the western sky.

At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun is unwilling to dissipate completely, and the sunset glow on the other side is unwilling to give way to the night so quickly, so the night in front of me presents a color of black and rouge intertwined.

A little creepy, but magnificent.

The emperor turned his head and glanced at Gao Yuncong.

"Everyone says you are a living notebook, and I'm going to test you today: Do you remember Xiong Xuepeng?"

Gao Yun never knew why the emperor suddenly asked such a question. He was startled for a moment, then smiled, and replied on his knees, "Back to the emperor, April Jingcha, the emperor ordered Jingcha's first-class cabinet bachelor to lead the introduction. That's the same." Among the group of people, let the concubine and master remember the names of two people, to put it nicely: Zhu Gui and Zhong Lanzhi."

"The Jingcha cabinet bachelors, in addition to the first-class ones, the emperor also decreed to eliminate them. Since the elimination, there will be additions. Therefore, the emperor decreed to add to the ministers of the cabinet bachelors. Xiong Xuepeng alone."

Gao Yun was thinking about today's situation, so he intentionally directed all his words towards Wanxi, "I dare you, I still remember that when Master heard about Mr. Xiong Xuepeng's name, he laughed for a while and said it was funny."

"It's just that the concubine Ling has always been the most generalist, so the concubine Ling himself didn't tell the truth, but the emperor laughed and said it. The emperor said, 'There is a fish in the north, and its name is Kun. The size of the Kun is unknown. Thousands of miles away. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. The back of the Peng, I don’t know how many thousands of miles it is. The Peng is a bird that tilts the sky. How can a blind man learn it? Could it be that he has two wings and can fly all over the sky? ?”

The emperor also laughed with a "puchier", "That's right. Is there any more?"

Heixia... Every time he talks about this with Jiu'er, his heart always feels strangely soft.

Gao Yuncong tilted his head slightly, "... I still remember that this Xiong Xuepeng was the Governor of Shuntian Mansion (Beijing Normal University) before he was awarded a cabinet bachelor. Guan. Xiong Xuepeng has been awarded a cabinet bachelor, and he is still in charge of the affairs of the governor."

The emperor nodded, "That's right. Gao Yuncong, listen to what I said: I told you to find this Xiong Xuepeng in private. Don't need to say anything else, just say that I want him to prepare in advance."

Gao Yuncong was taken aback for a moment, "...the slave should die, the slave is stupid, what does the slave want Mr. Xiong to prepare in advance?"

The emperor snorted softly, "In any case, it takes half a year for the preparations to be done well. The preparations start from today, and it will be in time in November or February."
.
Gao Yuncong was about to hit a wall when the emperor passed on the command in such a vague manner.

Fortunately, it was dark now, and Xiong Xuepeng had already left the cabinet and the palace.He still had one more night to rack his brains.

It just so happened that the emperor had to have an "evening meeting" with Fu Heng every night, that is, a separate meeting between the monarch and his ministers, and the two of them discussed military affairs face to face alone.

At this time, whenever Fu Heng had a major event, he would not be able to leave the military aircraft Zhang Jing and Zhao Yi by his side.Because all the battle reports and all the edicts required Zhao Yi to kneel on the ground and fulfill them with one stroke.

Because the emperors of the Qing Dynasty mainly lived in the Yuanmingyuan during the year when they were in the capital; they spent more time in the Yuanmingyuan than in the palace, so there are also important palaces and pavilions in the Yuanmingyuan. corresponding place.For example, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there are "diligent government and virtuous people", and in the Yuanmingyuan, there are also "diligent government and virtuous people".

The "diligent government and virtuous people" in the Old Summer Palace is equivalent to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the Old Summer Palace, where the emperor reviewed memorials and summoned his ministers and workers.

The "Diligence and Prosperity" in the Old Summer Palace is also referred to as the "Dian of Qinzheng".

Fu Heng went into the Nuan Pavilion of Qinzheng Hall alone, and went to talk to the emperor; Zhao Yi waited outside on the porch for the time being.Because Zhao Yi accompanied Fu Heng to face the saint almost every night, so Gao Yuncong and Zhao Yi had known each other for a long time.

Gao Yun hurriedly brought a chair over and invited Zhao Yi to sit.

Zhao Yi cupped his hands with a smile, "This is the Palace of Qinzheng, the lower officials dare not sit there. Thank you, Young Master Gao."

Gao Yuncong grinned and said, "Don't tell me, Mr. Zhao, you sit down first. I'll salute after you sit down, right?"

Zhao Yi was taken aback, "Master Gao, what did you say? You have something to do, so please speak up. Why do you have to salute?"

Gao Yuncong was about to cry, "The emperor issued an oral order today and told me an errand. But I didn't understand it myself, so how can I pass on the order? This is the emperor's oral order. If I have the slightest If I get it wrong, if I pass on the wrong edict, then it is a false edict, and my head will be gone!"

"Master Zhao has always been admired by Mr. Fu the most, and Mr. Fu understands the emperor's heart best, so I thought, Mr. Zhao will be able to guess the emperor's meaning right away."

Zhao Yi raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Young Master Gao's words really make this official feel ashamed. Since ancient times, the king's heart is the most unpredictable, how dare this official, how dare you."

Gao Yuncong was about to cry, "Of course I know, even if we are servants and slaves, we don't dare to guess the holy will. But... I am really helpless Is it?"

"To be honest with Mr. Zhao, the younger one was guarding the imperial mausoleum back then, and he burned incense three times a day in the morning, afternoon and evening, so there was no need to worry about it—later, it was Grandpa Mao Tuan'er who lifted the younger one up, and he was taken out of the palace prison. During the inspection, Grandpa Mao Tuan'er recommended the young one to the palace supervisor, saying that the young one was a little talented, but he could serve in front of the imperial court..."

Only then did Zhao Yi raise his eyebrows slightly, and with his hands on his cuffs, he stood up straight and squinted at Gao Yuncong.

"It turns out that Mr. Gao was recommended by Mr. Mao to the imperial court."

Zhao Yi has been walking in the military plane for these years, and he has learned a lot about what to do and what to do.Therefore, if Gao Yun only asked for a request from a young eunuch in front of the imperial court, he would avoid it as much as he could.In short, he is a military officer Zhang Jing, his rank is not high, and he is a Han, so he just pretends to be cowardly.

But if Gao Yuncong was recommended by Mao Tuan'er, then he must be related to Yongshou Palace... Then, he couldn't stand by and watch.

When Gao Yuncong saw Zhao Yi's expression, he finally had a bottom line in his heart, so he hurriedly put together his plate and put it out.

"The little one used to serve at the Imperial Mausoleum. How could he understand the ways of the palace? So the little one was scared, so I begged Grandpa Mao Tuan'er not to call me into the palace. Grandpa Mao Tuan'er comforted me and said, come in." After entering the palace, if you encounter a problem that you can't solve, you can go to the military plane to find someone..."

Gao Yun cast a cautious glance at Zhao Yi.

"Grandpa Mao Tuan'er didn't say in detail, who can I find at the military plane. But the younger one is familiar with Mr. Fu and Mr. Zhao in the gathering place, so I can only burn incense and come to Mr. Zhao. ...Master Zhao, if you don't save the little one this time, the little one won't run away!"

After Gao Yuncong finished speaking, he was about to kowtow when he really knelt down.

Zhao Yi hurriedly pulled him up, and under the cover of the verandah, he saw no one around, so he said seriously, "Master Gao, tell me first, what did the emperor do and what did he say? ? Only by contacting back and forth can the subordinate officials try their best to guess."

Gao Yuncong hurriedly poured beans out of the bamboo tube, and told the story of the past few days.

Zhao Yi bowed his head, his eyeballs twitching.After a while, he finally raised his head.

Gao Yun asked hurriedly, "Master Zhao has an idea?"

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows, "...two important points: first, the emperor owes his concubine Ling; second, the emperor said that it takes half a year to prepare for it."

"Did you forget? This year is the year of the draft, and the harem has its own canonization ceremony, but it has not yet undergone the canonization ceremony of the harem--I thought that every three years when the harem canonization ceremony, the Ministry of Rites prepares gold books, gold treasures, etc. , crown clothes, rituals, etc., it will take half a year to prepare properly."

"That's why I guess that the emperor is going to prepare a canonization for a master in advance. As for who the master is, Mr. Gao, you should have a good idea, right?"
.
Gao Yuncong opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, and he stared at Zhao Yi foolishly.

It took a while to realize, and he slapped his legs, "Oh, look at me, idiot! Isn't it true, if you are promoted to a noble concubine-that is to make gold books and gold treasures. This requires the Ministry of Industry to get gold to make, gold book letters There is also an ivory key plate outside... plus the royal concubine's crown dress, this is a big battle."

"The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs must cooperate together. It can be prepared in half a year, which is considered fast!"

The harem of the Qing Dynasty canonized, the concubine was granted the book, the concubine was granted the book and seal, and the imperial concubine needed the book and treasures... The weaving of these gold, ivory, pearls, and crown clothes requires a lot of work.

Although Gao Yuncong saw the sunny day from the bottom of his heart, he still didn't dare to speak up, and couldn't help asking Zhao Yi, "It's not that I don't believe in Master Zhao, but... why did the emperor ask Xiong Xuepeng to do this? "

"Xiong Xuepeng is just the governor of Shuntian Prefecture and a cabinet bachelor. He is neither from the Ministry of Rites nor the Ministry of Industry. Would the emperor really ask him to prepare for this matter?"
.
Zhao Yi also raised his eyebrows.

"What Gao Xiaoye said is naturally reasonable. I guess, just because this Xiong Xuepeng is still in charge of Shuntian Fu Yin, he is in charge of the capital, and he is the most convenient for preparing anything."

As Zhao Yi said, his eyes flashed slyly in the night.

"Besides, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry, it's not appropriate for the emperor to transfer directly at this time, is it? Otherwise, wouldn't there be traces left?"

Gao Yuncong was stunned again, lowered his head, and carefully went through the lists of ministers and servants from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry from both sides in his heart.He suddenly raised his head and smiled.

"Master Zhao is so wise, I really admire him so much!"

At this time, in the Ministry of Industry, Yurui's father, Debao, is the minister of the Ministry of Industry; and in the Ministry of Rites, Yurui's uncle, Guanbao, the father of Yingyuan who has just given birth, is Man Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

Both of these two people are connected with Yongshou Palace, if the emperor asks the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry to prepare for the meeting, it is inevitable that people will guess that Yongshou Palace has gone to.

Therefore, the emperor called a "big man" so that people couldn't guess who was involved in the harem, and it was the Governor of Shuntian Mansion to handle this matter, so it was naturally the most convenient.

While talking, Fu Heng came out from Qinzheng Hall, stood at the door and raised his hand to call Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi knew that this was the end of the discussion between Fu Heng and the emperor, and he was needed to draw up the decree.

Zhao Yi hurriedly followed Fu Heng in.

Fu Heng walked with Zhao Yi, and informed in advance in a low voice: "...to draw up the decree, Xiong Xuepeng, a cabinet bachelor, will act as the minister of the Ministry of Rites."

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help the joy filled his cheeks.

——As expected, he guessed right, the emperor wanted Xiong Xuepeng to do this.

Xiong Xuepeng is now the governor of Shuntian Prefecture and also has the status of the Ministry of Rites, so everything is justified.

Seeing Zhao Yi's happy face, Fu Heng couldn't help being surprised, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you laughing like this? Are you... related to Xiong Xuepeng?"

Zhao Yi has always been a cautious person, and only by being cautious in his words and deeds can he follow Fu Heng to walk in the palace for these years, drafting all the most important documents in the military aircraft department.

Knowing that he had lost his composure, Zhao Yi hurriedly bowed to Fu Heng to apologize, "... I am so happy in my heart, I really can't suppress it, and I also want to have the courage to speak to Mr. Fu in advance—Grandpa, the emperor is about to be promoted The concubine is now a noble concubine!"
.
Fu Heng was also stunned, and stared at Zhao Yi in a daze for a while, completely forgetting where he was, and what more important things he had to do.

He just murmured, "...to become a noble concubine? But, how is it possible? This is beyond the rules!"

"Just like the good concubines during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, they could only have children up to the concubine position; Empress Xiao Gongren gave birth to the first emperor Yongzheng, and gave birth to six children, but none of them was concubine."

"There is also Concubine Ding, who gave birth to Prince Heshuo Lu. The emperor regards Prince Lu as the head of the clan; Concubine Ding herself is the crown of the harem. With the emperor's filial piety, he did not say anything about chasing him. Make Concubine Ding a noble concubine, and call Concubine Ding to remain on the throne after passing away..."

"This has become a rule: when a girl from Xinzheku gives birth to a son, her concubine concubine has come to an end; then the concubine is the master, why does the emperor want to be promoted to concubine?"

As Fu Heng said, his eyes were already dotted with water, which was hard to get rid of.

Zhao Yi has followed Fu Heng for so many years, and Fu Heng has never been moved in the slightest by the many great things that have happened in front of his eyes in these years. At this time, the leader of the military aircraft, who is nearly forty years old, went away with tears in his eyes.

Zhao Yi didn't dare and couldn't bear to look any further, so he could only bow to the ground.

——Actually, in his own eyes, isn't it that the starlight has already turned into a Zhan Zhan Galaxy?
.
Fu Heng also knew that he had lost his composure, so he quickly took a deep breath, turned his back, and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

So many years, so many years... When he watched Jiu'er leave him step by step, step by step into the palace gate as deep as the sea, how worried and desperate was he?

He was so afraid that one day Jiu'er would not be able to escape the common fate of women in the harem, and there would always be a day when he would grow old and fall out of favor—but this day never came.

For 19 years, what he had been waiting for was not the news he was afraid of; it was... seeing with his own eyes that the emperor made an exception, and made an exception again;

In the past 19 years, to him, who has never been willing to let go of his heart, he persistently and long-term proved again and again that the emperor's love for Jiu'er...

The emperor's love for Jiu'er is really no shallower than his.

Then at this moment, will he finally be able to let go of this heart; or in other words, will he still have to admit that he has lost to the emperor... Is it because the heaven wants him, and at this point, he should finally let go Started?

But in 19 years, he has long been used to worrying about that person, used to thinking about that person's face when he dreams back in the middle of the night... he is used to it, even though he has never faced it alone for many years, he can never face it. From the bottom of my heart, I saw her eyebrows and heard her playful call.

"Nine Brothers";
"Master Nine"...

Fu Heng didn't know how long he had been absent-minded; even, knowing that he was absent-minded, knowing that he was in front of the emperor, he still couldn't control himself like this.

Until the emperor walked to the door of the Nuan Pavilion in person, across the threshold, a tall figure stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes lightly fell on him.

The emperor whispered, "Xiao Jiu, how long will I have to wait?"

Fu Heng made a loud noise in his heart, and he couldn't help but come back to his senses.Then he turned around, lowered his head deeply, and led Zhao Yi into the Nuan Pavilion.

State affairs are the most important.
.
June [-]th was the first three days of Yongqi's eldest son's "washing three" days.

These concubines who have grown up a generation in the harem will naturally be rewarded.So they took advantage of the morning to pay respects to the queen, and got together to discuss what to bestow.

Wanxi didn't come.

After all, the belly is big, the emperor and the empress have already given a word, so there is no need for her to come to make peace in the morning and evening.

But everyone never thought about it, this is also the reason why the concubine is avoiding seeing it.

That's right, if she comes, then Yu Rui must follow.When the time comes, everyone will come forward to congratulate Yurui, and they will inevitably congratulate her... If she forces a smile on her face, it will be so hard~
Seeing the situation in front of her, Concubine Xin was naturally secretly delighted.

She glanced at Noble Lan sitting next to her, and said quietly, "If the concubine Ling doesn't come, no nobleman will come."

Lan Guiren snorted softly, "That's natural. They are all pregnant with the emperor's heir, and she will naturally enjoy the dignity that the concubine should have. But a nobleman really regards himself as the same as the concubine. It's leveled."

Concubine Xin smiled lightly, "It's a pity that there is one missing Yu Rui in her palace. Otherwise, maybe the emperor treats her the same way as Concubine Ling."

Lan Guiren sneered, "After all, she just came to the capital in the northwest prairie for a few years. She hasn't even learned the outline of the method of obsessing in the harem. It can't be compared with Lingfei who has already been so sophisticated..."

Concubine Xin smiled and glanced at Mrs. Baiergas and Mrs. Huoshuot who were standing behind the empress and pure imperial concubine's chairs.

"Since Yurui has accepted the favor, it seems that he will be bestowed with the two of them. The one in the empress's palace is naturally the first nobleman; the one under the pure imperial concubine is the first concubine. What about it? Shouldn’t it be one level lower than that of the pure noble concubine, and the initial conferment should be one level lower, so it should be granted because of the promise?”

Lan Guiren glanced at Concubine Xin, "I don't think so. The emperor has been shut down by concubine Ling for several days this time, so he will give Yurui the first seal. I am afraid that he will be on par with the concubine. It must be the first Feng Chang is here."

Concubine Xin laughed instead, "If the emperor gives Yurui face like this, wouldn't he be embarrassing Concubine Ling again? Now the higher the initial seal that the emperor gave Yurui, the more uncomfortable Concubine Ling will be, right? "

Lady Lan also snorted, "In any case, the situation at this moment is that the emperor gave Yurui a high initial title, which made the concubine feel uncomfortable; if the initial title was lowered, the concubine still lost face... Anyway, she doesn't feel good at all. gone."

"Not necessarily." Concubine Xin's eyes flickered lightly, "During her pregnancy, concubine Ling pushed the woman under her to be enfeoffed. This is a way of her firm favor. It doesn't matter if it's uncomfortable or not; The important thing is, the emperor has to go to the 'natural picture' island all the time just for the sake of Yurui, right?"

Lan Guiren gritted her teeth, "She's not so thick-skinned! Didn't you see that the emperor has been unable to enter her door since yesterday and today. She was still angry and said that big rabbits give birth to small ones." When the rabbit saw the blood, it closed the door and didn't let the emperor and outsiders go to the island."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw San Dan who was under Concubine Yu rushing in.
.
Nala asked, "But there's a letter from the palace, the baptism ceremony for the little emperor's grandson is ready? Then let's prepare a car for our side, let's go to see the little emperor's grandson together."

Sandan hurriedly knelt down, "Go back to the queen's master... No, there is no need to go."

Nala's eyes widened suddenly, "What's this called? It was your master who gave the letter, so we don't need to go?"

Sandan hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, "Go back to the queen's master, a letter has just been sent from the palace, saying yes, saying yes, the grandson's little elder brother... died, died this morning."

When Liu Gong heard this, they stood up in shock.

That little elder brother, just three days after landing, didn't he bring a happy rain, why did he die? .
The incident happened suddenly. Originally, Liugong had prepared a reward for the little emperor's grandson Xisan, but now it was going to be a funeral ceremony.Everyone couldn't recover for a moment, Nala sighed and got up, "You are all waiting here, I will ask the emperor to see if we can go back to the palace together today."

Nala's family left, and all the six palaces stayed in the main hall of "Heaven, Earth, Family Spring", they couldn't help but also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Concubine Xin took her time and raised her eyes to E Changzai.

Because of his low status, E Changzai sat in the second row behind everyone even if he had a seat.If she lowered her head again, no one would be able to pay attention to her.

When their eyes collided, Concubine Xin nodded appreciatively at E Changzai; E Changzai also had a flash of a smile in his eyes, and then hurriedly lowered his head again, so as not to let others see her expression.
.
After about two quarters of an hour, Nala came back.

Looking at the crowd, he sighed, "The emperor said: We are all elders. Originally, we didn't have to go to wash the three in person, just reward it; since the child is already dead, we don't have to go back to the palace from the garden." .”

"You should all leave too, go back to the palace and pick out some suitable rewards for the little elder brother's funeral; put away all the happy gifts."

Later, Tana obeyed Nala's order and went to the "Natural Picture" to ask to see Wanxi and tell her about it.

Tana said, "Master Empress asked Master Lingfei to see if it would be convenient for Miss Yurui to come back to the palace, so that Yingyuan Gege can accompany her at least."

(Our Jiu'er is "angry" now, and we will definitely not open the door to the emperor, and we will not be able to see each other for the time being. I have to hold back my breath, if I can't hold it back, then I will reveal my secrets.)
