Chapter 127: Family (29)
anger
The emperor placed people by his side, so Beijing naturally had his eyeliner.Before entering the city, I got the news that General Manager Tong was ordered to control the water, and the deadline was only three months, and he had already been ordered to take office.
Song Yinfang was startled to realize that she had caused a catastrophe. She overestimated the emperor's self-cultivation. After he found out, he didn't hold back at all. He hit her with all his strength and almost broke her heart.She covered her face and cried, "I did something wrong, I didn't expect..."
In fact, I thought about it, but I was lucky, thinking that the emperor would ask her to blame her in the end. Unexpectedly, he beat cattle across the mountain and finally started to use the knife on her relatives.She lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, "I'm going to the palace to accept the crime, please forgive me, Ama."
Rong Shi grabbed her wrist, "It's useless to go now, it's already done, and I can't take it back. Don't worry, let me think of a way. He did this just to force you out , you go in his way, so that he can take the opportunity to negotiate terms with you."
Song Yin was in a panic, forced to this point, she had to face it.She withdrew her hand and said, "Since he already knows everything, what else can we talk about? He hates me, and if he wants to kill or kill me, I will do whatever I want. I just ask him not to touch me, Ah Ma."
The Manchus are not as obsessed with chastity as the Han people, otherwise there would be no cases of a younger brother-in-law marrying a sister-in-law.When she went to the emperor, he couldn't rest assured, so he forced her back into the car, because he didn't want her to be stunned, and he kept some things from her. After a long time, seeing him sitting and waiting to die, she must have felt insecure!He hugged her tightly, "Listen to me, if he still can't let go of you, he won't do anything to you, Ama, it's nothing more than a shock to us, just to wake us up. No matter how good he is, it's not enough Ruthless, he kept Master Guo's elder brother. As long as the child is here, we won't lose. Although Yuqian has replaced someone he can trust, it is limited after all. I have been in the bodyguard for more than ten years, and I know everything better than him. His throne is not stable for three years, three years is enough for us to act. Do you know Prince Gong?"
Song Yin stared at him blankly, "Fifth Master?"
He nodded, "He used to have the deepest relationship with the late emperor. At the beginning, he lived with my elder brother, studied together and fought together. It was only because the empress dowager targeted him in several clan affairs that he gradually distanced himself from the late emperor. I told him the details, he almost entered the palace to fight for the emperor, I saw it, I knew more than half of it was done. Although his Zhenglan flag and Xianglan flag were under the five flags, they were the most brave in actual combat, and Prince Su , Prince Jane, and my brothers unite, they will definitely be able to compete with today."
She didn't expect him to plan this quietly.Thinking of the names of those princes, she felt weak, "They are all good at playing with cages and flying kites, can this be done?"
He smiled softly, "They came down from the same vine. They have different temperaments, but their blood is the same. When I was a child, I was not bad at any of them. Later, when the first emperor ascended the throne and the queen mother suppressed them one by one, they had no choice but to deal with the government. They are all descendants of the holy grandfather, who wants to be an idle prince for the rest of their lives? As long as they are given a chance, they will rise up."
She gradually calmed down and pondered whether it was feasible, "A few princes alone may not be enough."
He turned his head and lifted the curtain on the window, a ray of light hit the unicorn patch on his chest, with dragon scales and tiger eyes, never ordinary.Looking at the mountains from a distance, he said calmly, "Don't underestimate the ability of those royal relatives and relatives to fish in troubled waters. Who doesn't have three or two servants who are heart-to-heart. The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are like a vegetable garden. If you pick up a tree casually, you may be able to pull it out." A bunch of potatoes, big and small. Those princes themselves don’t participate in politics, and there are not a few banner slaves under their sects who are important officials in Zhang Jing. When the time comes, the masters and slaves will be close, after all, it will be a climate to gather together.”
The political situation that had just settled down, did not expect to make waves again.Song Yin raised her heart, "How sure are you?"
He said five points, "It's one step away, and it's Lu Run's will."
Song Yin felt that it was not feasible, "The emperor must know the decree, will it be kept until now?"
Rong Shi pulled his lips and smiled, "Based on what I know about Lu Run, he will not leave a way out for himself. People are unpredictable. When he needs it, he has one face, and when he can't use it, he has another face. If he If you don't pay attention, Tan Rui is a lesson from the past. Tan Rui made a lot of contributions to the former Emperor Yuji, so what happened? He is a prudent person, no matter how good he is, he will never hand over his life The emperor must also know this, so he can't do anything about it."
Song Yin suddenly had mixed feelings, this is politics, everyone has to check every step of the way, without even the last hand of self-defense, and in the end they don't even know how they died.
She is not like Rang Yu, who is blindly flustered when encountering things. She knows in her heart that she will follow his trajectory.
"My elder brother can't stay in the palace anymore, it's a disaster after all." She thought about it, "After Fujin died of the fifth master's illness, he got a lot of side Fujin and Shu Fujin, and gave birth to a litter of daughters, all made of a medicine jar. Son, I go back to the House of Internal Affairs every three days to see the imperial doctor. I thought about finding a chance to meet the Queen Mother and talk to her about adoption. If I can send my little elder brother to Prince Gong’s house to be raised, at least I can feel more at ease. Find a few people to take good care of it, it's safer than staying in the palace."
This is a way, but it may not be successful, after all, elder brother is easy to master in his hands, but it is difficult to master it when he is out of the palace.
Rong Shi turned his head to look at her, with a smile blooming on the corners of his lips, she is always like this, a fresh and independent individual, not a weak dodder, does not need to be attached to a man, but can help him when necessary.He stretched out his hand to hold her, "I originally wanted to discuss with a few senior officials in secret and ask them to go to the Emperor Shu to open a government office and build a mansion for my elder brother. Now your idea is more convincing, so I will do as you want. I Talk to the fifth master, let him go to the court, I can't speak in the inner court, and I have to trouble you. I haven't told you all this time, just because I was afraid that you would be involved. If something bad happens to me, I won't hurt you, who knows In the end it's up to you."
She looked at him wistfully, "Do you think I will be grateful to you if you don't involve me? When the time comes, you will kill me, and I will marry my man, and I will only have hatred left. Tell me right now, and my heart will be at peace. At least I have something to look forward to, and I have another job to do, so I don’t need to stick my butt and get beaten.”
He took her hands together and pressed them tightly together, "Don't worry about Ama's affairs. The officials in Tongshan and Qiantang are all from the Two Yellow Banners. I quietly ordered someone to do it and bring them in. Then send a secret letter to Ama, let him tamper with the accounts. Anyway, if the construction period is not completed, the superiors will definitely be blamed, and when the time comes, the blame will be pushed to those people, and we will save our lives first."
She suddenly looked at him with admiration, and always thought that he was a good man at home, who tried his best to do errands at work, and worked as a carpenter when he was off duty, taking care of children, simple and happy, without any scheming or hostility.Now it seems that this is not the case at all, carelessness is just superficial, he clearly has a cautious side, and he is unwilling to tell her what he has not accomplished, because everyone around him is not reliable, and he is becoming more and more vigilant.
She held his hand tightly, "Second Brother..."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He kissed her on the forehead, "I want to protect my wife and children, I'm a man."
She had a smile on her face, but her nose was sore, and she deliberately teased him, "It's hard for a stupid person like you to spend so much thought on it, it really hurts my heart."
He twisted his body awkwardly, "I'm just stupid in front of you, who dares to laugh at me?" Seeing that the car had already entered the city, he ordered his long follower to go straight to Tong's mansion, "Ama left Beijing, I'll go to the old man Wife, madam, kowtow to meet the elders. The family has sent someone back to inform in advance, and we will make an appointment today, and I want to see what the master can do to me."
Song Yin was a little flustered, "Is it decided today?"
He smiled, "You are all mine, and you are still delaying, so I won't give you an excuse? You are willing to wait, but I am not willing!"
Anyway, if this day is to come, I finally look forward to it. What are you afraid of?Her cheeks were hot, and there was a firm light in her eyes.They didn't intend to enter the door together, and Ama would never tell the old lady that she had gone to Chengde. She slipped back to the yard through the corner door to save some face.Now that I think about it, if I don't let my family know, maybe there will be more side issues later.The pot was simply broken, and the adults on both sides had no way out, so they stopped.
When the concierge saw someone coming, he stood on the steps and waited and watched. When they got out of the car, they made a noise, swept their sleeves and beat Qian'er, "Greetings to the second master."
Rongshi ordered: "Report to the old lady and madam for me, and ask Rongshi to see you." While speaking, he helped Songyin down.
The concierge was startled when he saw the second girl, looked at each other in dismay, and hurried into the second gate to deliver a message.
Tong's family is a big family, and there are already many people. When the news spread that the two of them came back together, there was an uproar.The wives from several other mansions also came and gathered in the old lady's room to listen to the following.There was no one around when Rong Shi entered the door, and he kowtowed, "It's been a long time since I saw old ladies and ladies, Rong Shi gave a big gift to the elders."
Manchu people pay attention to beating a thousand children, that is, kneeling on one leg, which is not so grand, and is suitable for general greetings.Kneeling on both knees is a big gift, which has a different meaning.Rong is indeed a first-rank official, and the old lady Rong's imperial order is only second-rank, so she cannot stand his kneeling.I don’t ask about kowtowing indiscriminately today. I think there must be something to say. Although I understand it in my heart, I still can’t accept it peacefully. Get up, get up and talk."
Rong Shi politely declined the support, bowed twice and kowtowed respectfully and six times, then stood up, lowered his hands and said, "I'm here today to ask for marriage. I don't dare to hide the matter between Song Yin and I from my elders. It should have been mentioned a long time ago, but it was always delayed because of such things. She and I have experienced a lot of twists and turns, but our minds have never changed. It is really unbearable until now. I want to marry her, regardless of the knife I must marry her in the oil pot under the mountain. It is my good fortune that the old lady and wife agree, if not, I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life, please watch me and see if I can keep my word.”
The people present were very surprised when they heard this, and they all watched the old lady's reaction.The old lady did not speak for a long time, she slowly caressed the Persian cat lying on her lap with her eyelids down, looked at the two of them from time to time, finally pushed the cat away, and said in a cold voice: "The second master came today, it is unexpected and reasonable Among them. Hello, you two. I knew it last year. I am not a weird old woman. I would like to see my children and grandchildren get what they want. But what happened last time, she can forgive you because of your face, but I am a grandmother. No. Your wife is too powerful. Such a mother-in-law will not be able to take care of you in the future. We were born in wrapping clothes. We served the emperor as slaves in the palace, and we will continue to be slaves when we return home. With the talents of our second girl, it is impossible. That time You didn't see what happened. When she came back, her eyes were straight, and her and I felt pain in our hearts. She has always been strong, so why has she suffered this kind of grievance? Let's make it clear, there is absolutely nothing to you Picking, it's your old ladies and wives who are picking, what do you think of us if you're so ruthless? Tong's daughters don't have to worry about getting married, even if they are sister-in-law, they can't enter your Rong's house. Besides..." She blamed her He looked at Song Yin with the meaning, "Are you sure about the current situation? Can the palace let you get married? You children, if you like it, you want to stay together forever. This is human nature, and I don't blame you. But you They are all officials, do you need my old lady to teach you how to judge the situation? Your Ama was sent to be a river supervisor, why, have you thought about it?"
Song Yin was so talked about that she couldn't hold her head up. She was too unreliable in her work this time. It was obviously the emperor's making things difficult for Ama to go to other places to control water. It was her own boldness and willfulness that hurt Ama.But now she has given it all to Rongshi, did she just give up?It has come to this point, because of all kinds of interference from the outside world, is he really not wanted?
She was caught in a dilemma, Rong Shi became anxious, and hurriedly called the old lady, "You are the most merciful person, can you just watch us suffer? Back when Rong Xu and Jin Mo got married, it meant that the brothers and sisters under the roof could walk for a long time When I went home, my mother looked for Songyin. I felt ashamed of her all the time. I didn’t dare to blame my mother. It was all my fault. If I hadn’t gotten angry with the current saint, it wouldn’t have led to that incident. The old lady refused. , I also thought about it before I came. I broke the rules by visiting the door so rashly. Because I just came back from the outside, I didn’t have time to buy anything, and I already sent a message back. All the things prepared by the family were brought into the house. Just send it to the temple to help the poor. I have a whole heart for Song Yin, as long as I do it, I will have a clear conscience, and I will bear all the difficult things in the future, and I hope the old lady will help me."
He couldn't tell the whole story of his plan, so what he said inevitably seemed empty.The old lady snorted, "What are you going to do with all your strength? Don't bring things here. Even if they enter the door, I'll throw them out. Don't make a fuss, everyone will look bad later on."
Song Yin knew that the old lady couldn't persuade her anymore, her prejudice against the Rong family had been completely transferred to Rong Shi, and now Rong Shi was made of gold, so she couldn't catch her eyes anymore.
She looked at her Ernie, the wife was unable to intervene, and the expression on her face was always in a state of surprise.Probably didn't understand why the person who claimed to have typhoid fever and closed the door to thank guests went outside and met Rong Shi.Instead of waiting for her to ask, she might as well make a confession, she made up her mind, "Old lady, lady, I haven't been home at all these two days. I went to Rehe to find him."
There are four bewildered, what does this mean?A girl's house, traveling so far, looking for a man?The wife was dumbfounded, the old lady hated iron for nothing, she patted the kang table and said, "What a capable person, you actually have the guts to say that I'm ashamed for you! Do you know how to be ashamed? Hurry up and post it, you know What does the family think? Are you planning to give me a ride because you see that I have lived a long time without dying? What kind of family education in the Tong family raised you to be such a wicked person!"
Song Yin had never been scolded so fiercely before, she was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole and go down.But she knew that she would have to go through this process after all, so she felt relieved when she said it.She knelt down side by side with Rongshi and kowtowed, "I will admit to the old lady who scolded me and beat me, but I just ask Rongshi and me. We don't want to get married right away. We just want to let the family know our determination. If we don't make arrangements, we will take him as well." Treat it as a son-in-law. As for the affairs in the palace, I will take care of it properly. Please don’t worry, old lady. We are in a difficult situation right now, and we will get better soon. Long live God is a novelty for a while. Seeing that the Eight Banners are about to be drafted, this novelty It won't take long to go to someone else's. Our family has already folded a jade, and let me fill the harem. Even if I become a queen, the family will only have a name, and the family will be separated. Is this what the old lady wants? "
Although the old lady was very angry, what she said was not nonsense, thinking of Rangyu really made people feel distressed, if the late emperor is still alive, there is finally hope.Now that the late emperor passed away, she became a concubine, a widow, and she will spend her whole life in the Forbidden City.
There were four granddaughters in the long house, one died, two entered the palace, and Tong Qing, who was left with no knowledge of human affairs, was of any use!Song Yin carried the hopes of a large family, and originally planned to keep her at home and find a son-in-law who came to visit.If it enters the palace, it will be thrown into the cold water tank for nothing, and it will be terribly cold.
The old lady turned her head and asked the wife, "This is your daughter, what do you say?"
The wife is very fierce to Ama, and she is submissive in front of the old lady and dare not make up her mind.She looked at Rongshi, and bowed to the old lady, "Everything is up to the old lady."
At this time, Penglai's daughter-in-law came to the second door to pass the message, saying: "Mrs. Rong asked her natal uncle to give her a betrothal gift. The cart is full of incense guns, bracelets, wedding cakes and vegetables. Please make a decision for the old lady."
What should I do, when the conversation comes to this point, people have also come to the door, so it is not easy to go outside, the old lady sighed, "You are trying to kill the whole family."
Seeing that there was some looseness, the two exchanged glances, and their hearts became happy.Rong Shi said: "Don't worry, old lady, I also know that it is not appropriate to make any publicity at this moment. I told my uncle to be careful in advance, and we will settle in secret. When the time is right, I will make arrangements again. I will never wrong Song Yin."
As for whether the emperor will have an attack, he has a good idea in his mind. He has been on the throne for less than three months, and it is time to hide his strength and bide his time. With Yan Sui's cunning, it is impossible to take off his face and ignore it.But if he really wants to start a fight, that's fine, the more he messes up, the more opportunities they have to take advantage of.If the first emperor hadn't been afraid of the queen mother and had selfish intentions to fear that his brothers would seize the throne, he would have gotten up early to recover those princes, perhaps Yan Sui would not be where he is today.It's a pity that if one step is wrong, every step is wrong, and the princes can only be united after he is promoted.

Mrs. Rong's brother Dao Jie, who is also Rong Shi's uncle, works in the Ministry of Household Affairs and also has contacts with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.They are all officials in the court, they don't look up and look down, they are very polite to their in-laws, and they have done a lot of courtesy when they meet. Of course, Mrs. Rong's unkind things will never be mentioned last time. Mr. Tong’s ability to handle affairs is 1 guests. I didn’t expect our two families to get married in the end. His mother Rong Shi met me several times and mentioned Mr. Tong repeatedly. At that time, she didn’t say that she wanted to settle , I just spared no effort to praise Mr. Tong's ability, and I expected this to happen, and I really expected it." As he said, he smiled and praised Rongshi, "Our brother is blessed, Mr. Tong has such a character. Talent and learning are hard to find even with a lantern. A fool has a fool, so he has good luck. From now on, we will be a family. I hope Master Xiaotong will forgive me a lot."
This set of rhetoric is almost a dialogue in the officialdom, Song Yin is a little embarrassed, "Uncle is too polite, just call me Song Yin. Bao Han dare not say it, mutual care is inevitable. Now that there is this layer, there is nothing to say Woolen cloth."
Daojie nodded his head incessantly, and said to the old lady and his wife: "When I came, my sister reminded my in-laws, please look at Jin Mo and Rong Xu's face, if there were any misunderstandings in the past, she will tell the in-laws. Now the two children Since there is love, I have gone through all this and have not been able to break them up. I would like to ask my in-laws to be perfect and stop making them difficult. She and the old lady at home are not convenient to come. They are waiting for my good letter at home. Songyin is one in a million I have a complete set of children, if it wasn't for the taboo right now...the in-laws and the second girl should be entertained. This one is missing, and the others will make up for it. We will give double the gift money for jewelry, and I just ask the in-laws and the second girl to forgive me." He said to himself. He took out a small bag from his bosom, opened his hands and held it over, "This is a pair of pearl-returning and nine-turn exquisite bracelets given by Empress Sheng Xiaoren when the old imperial order was granted by the ancestors. The wife has been reluctant to wear it, saying that she will pass it on to her daughter-in-law. Right now, Rong Shi and the second girl have made an appointment, and the wife orders to bring the dowry for the second girl."
Xiapin can do this, on the surface it seems that there is really nothing to choose.The old lady looked at the gift boxes in the room, not because she was greedy for their little things, because if she treated Song Yin like that before, if she didn't bow her head, even if there was something between the two children, Song Yin would never give it to the Rong family.Now it seems that Mrs. Rong has given in, and after listening to her uncle's words, the old lady finally feels a little more at ease.She slowly let out a long breath, and said with a smile: "Since we are married, there are not so many hagglings. Please tell me, my uncle and master. Our two families are in-laws. Even though the eldest girl and the eldest uncle are gone, we still have a relationship in our hearts." Treat them as relatives. Now that Rongshi and Songyin are married again, they are relatives. In the future, we Songyin will serve in the past, and we will ask our in-laws to treat her as our daughter, and we will do the same to Rongshi."
Dao Jie Nuo Nuo said, "I will definitely bring the message to the old lady. Please rest assured. The second girl will pass the door in the future. The old lady and the wife don't have to worry about her being wronged. My sister has raised two sons, and the old lady at home is rare. Daughter, you will never treat your daughter-in-law like a mother-in-law outside, serving tea and water, standing in order, and not treating your daughter-in-law as a human being."
Mrs. Rong's statement may not be voluntary. Of course, Song Yin has an official title on the one hand, but on the other hand, when Rong Shi came back from Rehe, his destructive spirit was simply playing tricks.What is it like to insert the door backwards, become a monk, become a eunuch, and die outside, scaring the old ladies and wives at home out of their wits.So who would dare to oppose him?It is better for a daughter-in-law to be unhappy than a dead son. The two elders finally gave in, and he can do whatever he wants, and everything is up to him.Besides, Song Yin, a girl like her has no arrogance. After what happened last time, Mrs. Rong changed her mind and endured the humiliation. Be well informed.The next two pieces of satin completely left them speechless, this is a girl who is able to bend and stretch, and compared with her, Yi Zhuang can't even keep up with her.Marrying a wife and a virtuous person, not holding grudges, is not because she has nothing to do with you, but because she has deep affection and is willing to tolerate.Now that they have reached this point again, no matter how hard they try to stop them, they will only be empty-handed villains.Seeing Rong Shi's appearance, she is indeed the master who has gone all the way to the dark. Since Song Yin is destined to be the daughter-in-law of his Rong family, there is no need to make the relationship so rigid. After all, let's keep a thread of favor, so that we can meet each other in the future.When the current problem is solved, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law still have to get along with each other. Eyes are not eyes, nose is not nose, how can we live in harmony?
So each took a step back, and the two reached a consensus to approve the marriage.It's just that the situation is urgent, so don't make any noise for the time being, men and women don't marry, stick to each other, and the family no longer presses them, everything is settled anyway, and the rest is up to God.
Song Yin was sent out because of Ama, and the House of Internal Affairs was left unattended, so Fogg came in, confused, she was worried, and finally returned to duty.Of course, maintaining the daily operation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is only one of them. She also has other things on her mind, such as the draft right in front of her eyes, elder brother's adoption of the fifth master, and the life-saving talisman in Lu Run's hand.In order to coordinate with the previous court, she will also help him in the inner court.In fact, she still can't believe everything he planned, but his purpose of admiring the little elder brother has not changed.It was destroyed by the sudden death of the first emperor before, but now he has readjusted his plan, and with the help of the fifth master and others, he can continue to walk the unfinished road.People are not selfish and live a life in vain, the country is still there, the Daqin is still there, the emperor takes turns to do it, come to my house today, anyway, the emperor's throne is in the Wuya family, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, just save everyone's life and make their marriages perfect up.
But maybe it was because of a guilty conscience, she was unavoidably a little paranoid, afraid that the emperor would come to find fault with her.After waiting for a long time in fear, there was no movement.Hanging like this, as if she was being roasted on the fire, she began to consider whether she should go to the Qianqing Palace to report back, saying that she has recovered and is on duty.Although her actions are in his hands, she took the initiative to meet him, at least showing an attitude, rather than being questioned by him, it is better to preemptively strike.
It just so happened that she was ordered by the Empress Dowager to investigate the daughters of several high-ranking officials, and she got news of everything.Before going to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, go to the Palace of Qianqing. Sooner or later, you will have to face it, and hiding is not an option.Qianqing Palace is the center of the inner court. There are upper study room and south study room on both sides of the verandah. It is another important place for the emperor to discuss politics and study.Because the first emperor passed away in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and now I feel jealous, so I moved the bedroom to the Qianqing Palace.In such a place, dignity and dignity permeate everywhere, no matter who enters the door, they will naturally be three points shorter, even the lord of the world is no exception.He is a ruthless rascal behind others, but he pretends to be a wise gentleman in front of others.Even if he gets angry again when officials deal with each other, he still has fear when he gets angry.
She straightened her clothes in front of the bronze mirror, turned around and went up to the Longzong Gate. The terrace and imperial road in front of the Qianqing Palace are not accessible to everyone, and she often drills into the tiger's hole for convenience.Those are three spacious culverts, which are specially used for walking in the palace. On the way, I met several imperial eunuchs. When they saw her, they all sighed, "Is the manager Xiao Tong safe?"
She smiled and said yes, "Is Lord Long Live busy now?"
The eunuch who waited on paper and ink said: "Just finished approving the papers, the outside documents came in again, talking to some Zhang Jing, you have to wait for a while."
She nodded, "What about Lu Run?"
"Lu Zhangyin attendant, you sent someone in and came out as soon as you called."
She said good, and went up the corridor with her gown.
The emperor was in the Maoqin Hall, and she glanced at it from a distance. The young emperor was full of heroism, and his gestures were full of arrogance.She stood with her hands tucked in, and sometimes hesitated. In fact, the current political situation is fairly stable, but he is intolerant, and it is inevitable that people will bear hatred.Is it useful to set up secret whistles outside the houses of all the important officials of the imperial court?What should be growing is still growing, but she can no longer see the way forward. Perhaps it was doomed to tragedy from the time when Bachelor Cong Rong surrendered his heir to the fourth.
The emperor on that side was paying all his attention, but Lu Run had already spotted her.The news that she had come back from Rehe and that the Rong family would be settled had already reached the imperial court. Doing so would only anger the emperor, but it would not do them any good at all.
He glanced up, quietly backed out, and walked towards her.It's always a little awkward to meet each other now, because the grudge has already arisen, his thoughts remain the same, but she is gradually alienated.
There was a moment of relative silence, and finally he spoke first, "The emperor is doing maintenance, please wait a moment."
She lowered her eyes and stared at the toe of her shoes, and after a while she heard him ask again: "How are you doing recently?"
It wasn't hypocritical that he didn't ask if she was cured.She hummed, "It's all good."
She talked less, and she was no longer as warm and friendly as before, he couldn't help feeling sorry.After falling silent, I still felt that I should mention her, "The matter between you and Rongshi... Sheng Gong was furious. Why did it suddenly come to an end?"
She said: "I feel that when the time comes, we should make a decision. How about, really enter the palace and become a queen?" She smiled, "You know, I don't care about those reputations, I just want someone who can live a stable life Men are equal, you don't have to call yourself a slave when you see him."
This is a simple wish, and no one wants to bow their heads in front of their husbands for the rest of their lives.Although the emperor and empress can also raise the eyebrows, but in essence?Ordinary couples quarrel, at most they just make up and leave.The relationship between the emperor and empress deteriorated, and there was probably no other choice but to imprison the cold palace and impose death.
He was also a little sad when she got engaged, his heart was empty, as if he had lost something.But he is not like the emperor, who is furious when he doesn't agree with her. He respects her decision, and if she can live well, he has no extravagant hopes.As for who she married, it didn't matter, as long as she was happy.
"Be careful before the emperor, don't contradict him." He said, "Your Majesty will return the order in April, and you will still ask him for something."
She understands that this is what the master wants, to push people down to the end, so that you have to give in, and then he can handle you.However, Lu Run can mention her, which shows that there is still a bit of friendship between them.Facing him, she often had an indescribable feeling, disappointment and pity go hand in hand, hatred and respect go hand in hand.Rong Shi wanted to take the will from him, what would be the consequences if he handed it over?The eunuch's political affairs have caused the country to be unstable. Can he still survive?
She raised her eyes to look at him, experienced some things, more and more pure and natural.Thinking of his entanglement with Rang Yu, she felt embarrassed again, "I saw the Emperor Daxing fight three times that day, you and Rang Yu..."
He has a calm face, and he intends to let her know that even if he joins with such a hideous character, he still has a bond with the Tong family, and with her.
He thought she would get angry, blame him for ruining Rangyu, and even keep him away from her, but she didn't.She dejectedly said: "It was me and Ama who put her into the palace. I felt sorry for letting her be a widow at such a young age. But I couldn't save her. The late emperor promoted her to the imperial concubine, and she had to be suppressed by her ancestors." Trapped in this deep palace for the rest of my life." She looked at him lonely, "You are rooted in the Forbidden City, only you can stay with her for a long time. I entrust her to you, please take care of her for me, she is so pitiful, talent."
With her words, even if he goes through fire and water, he will definitely make room for her.He nodded, "Don't worry."
With just such a simple promise, she had already handed over the burden to him.In all fairness, although she was disappointed with him, she never hated him deeply.Who in the world does not plan for himself?He was living in a purgatory piled with splendor, and if he didn't try his best to climb out, he could only bury his bones there in the end.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her head to look at the Maoqin Palace, "The emperor wishes to eat me alive right now?"
He said yes, "You owe it."
She also admitted, "The worst consequence is to harm my Ama. If there is something wrong with my Ama, I have to die to apologize."
He paused and said: "Look at luck, you can't make mistakes here, otherwise the gods won't be able to save him."
Just as she was talking, the ministers who were involved in the palace retreated one by one. She hurried over and waited outside the gate of the palace, waiting for Lu Run to go in and deliver a message.He thought that the emperor would rush to summon her and scold her head and face, but it didn't work out, so he just left her alone and made her wait on the porch for an hour.
She had cramps in her calves from standing, and she didn't dare to move, so she could only be nailed there like a wooden stake.Finally Lu Run came out and gave her a wink, she understood, and walked over the threshold with his sleeves hanging down.
The emperor sat behind one layer after another of yellow veils, with frost gathering between his brows, and he was awed by the sight.She knelt down and nodded, "The minister returns to the palace to report on his duties, and I respectfully invite the emperor to be safe."
The emperor above looked at her with a frown, and the corners of his lips tugged lightly, "Going back to the palace to report on his duties, Zhong Cui climbed back to the stove in the palace, and he had time to finish all his own affairs. Master Tong is very calculating."
Song Yin pawed at the gold bricks, getting shorter and shorter, but didn't answer.It's not good to say anything at this time, it's better to keep silent.
But for the emperor, this time was simply the most tormenting in his life.If he didn't see her, he wished he could cut her into pieces, but when he saw her, he felt that his anger had disappeared without a trace.This is what it is like to like someone, even if she makes a big mistake, as long as she looks back, she can be forgiven.
"What I told you, you never take it to heart, why?" He stood up, waved all the people in the temple out.He stepped down from the throne, walked in front of her, and looked down at her, "You and I have a heart-to-heart relationship, it really makes me sad. Why are you going to Rehe? Why are you going to see him? Why are you going to spend time with him? Can't I do something to you? I am the king of a country, and I can raid your homes with one political order, and send you to Heilongjiang to smash wooden stakes, are you really not afraid?"
"The slave respects the master and is as vigilant as facing the heaven and the earth. I have already said what should be said before. The slave has little morality and feels that it is difficult to accept the grace of the saints. Please let the master allow the slave to be mediocre." She presented the book, "This It is an old note drawn up by Lafayette's servants, and it contains ladies from aristocratic families, so I respectfully invite you to preview it."
With a wave of his hand, he knocked the booklet down on the ground, "Don't use the empress dowager's name to block my mouth, I'm thinking, if a decree is awarded to your Tong family, what can you do?"
She just touched her head to the ground, "The talent show is coming soon, and thousands of eyes are watching, master, please think twice."
All of her words are evasive words, but after thinking about it again and again, it is not unreasonable. None of the courtiers, queen mother, and clan can allow him to act arbitrarily.He was very discouraged, and she was sure of this, so she would be confident.
He smiled coldly, "Forget it, I don't want to be canonized, and I won't force you. But listen carefully, if you don't marry the emperor, no one in this world is worthy of you. In this case, I will guard you in my boudoir this life. Keep your reputation for the rest of your life. I will kill whoever you marry, if you don’t believe me, just try it.”
What I can't get, no one else can get it. This is his purpose.
Song Yin closed her eyes forcefully, although her heart sank, she still comforted herself, this is not the worst outcome, not ordering her to immediately resign from the Rong family's marriage, not letting her become a nun, is already the biggest thing to her Forgiveness.She kowtowed deeply, "I would like to follow the teachings of the master."
He stared at her with a mocking smile on his lips, not knowing whether to laugh at her or himself.She would rather not marry for the rest of her life than be his queen, which shows how failed he really is.She probably thinks that marrying or not is just a ceremony, even if she has no name or distinction, as long as she can be with Rongshi, nothing else matters.
What a deep love, love so much that you don't care about your future, doesn't it matter even if you are a concubine?Do you really think he has no way to deal with them?He walked over, picked up the booklet that had fallen on the ground, flipped it through, and raised his voice to call the eunuch Bingbi to come, "To draw up an imperial edict, Gao Jia, the daughter of Erle, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was born in a hairpin tassel, has both virtue and appearance, and ordered to give it to you." Marrying the minister of guards, going to the study to walk..."
Song Yin raised her head in panic, this person really hurt his roots, he would harm others if he couldn't ask for it, what's the matter with this kind of inexplicable gift of marriage?Before he finished speaking, she straightened up, "The house of internal affairs is complicated and trivial, and my father used to preside over it. Now my father is ordered to go south to control the water, and the minister has great ambitions and talents, and feels embarrassed. Long live the minister, please return the order, and look to the emperor Complete."
The emperor stood there stunned, a lot of soldiers came to stop him, he gave Rong Shi a marriage, she would not even be an official, is this a threat?
He looked at her angrily, "I plan to become an official, but unfortunately I'm not old enough. Tong Jia's family has done business for the court for generations. Now that you remove your armor, you plan to remove your ancestor's shade?" He turned his face away, "No .”
She has a firm look in her eyes, and her slender waist is straight, "The minister is incompetent and shameless, and often makes the master angry, so he wants to go away."
He raised his voice, "I told you, no."
She turned her head to look at the pen that was transcribing over there. Qing Xiang stopped the tip of the pen and stared blankly at the emperor.The emperor was annoyed, but he couldn't help it. With a wave of his hand, he hurriedly rolled up the pen and paper and retreated.
The situation is falling like a mountain, he is not convinced, the score is obviously earlier than Rong Shi, why did he lose to him?Sure enough, she took the ecstasy drug and was willing to be degraded?If the queen is wrong, even if she does not marry for life, she still has to rely on a Han official.Rong Shi is the only son of the Rong family, and has the responsibility to pass on the family line. She cannot marry, and he might not marry. Now that she is going against him, does it really take that for the sake of repentance?He was so angry that his brain ached, so he could only send her away to avoid being pissed off, "Get out, go back to your house of internal affairs. Tomorrow is the day of the draft. If there is a slight mistake, I will peel your skin !"
She answered the question, got up and left the Maoqin Hall.After taking a long breath outside, I realized that my back was dripping with cold sweat, soaking my little clothes.
Fortunately, there is no danger, if the imperial decree to bestow marriage is issued, Rongshi accepts it and disappoints her, otherwise it will be a flagrant disobedience to the imperial order, which is enough to punish her and demote her.She also had no choice but to bite the bullet and contradict him.If you shrink back at this time, I'm afraid it will be really hard to recover.When she walked out of the Qianqing Palace, she was still numb, fighting wits and courage every day, and her life was really exhausting.She leaned against the palace wall for a long time, and her heart gradually calmed down.In the future, I'm afraid it's not easy to be honest, the emperor must send someone to inform him, and ask him to be prepared. I don't know what the end of their marriage will be. If things don't change, she will only be an old girl.Fortunately, there is hope. She is not the kind of person who can't bear it. Even if she doesn't see her for a long time, as long as she has firm belief, she can wait even for a few months or a few years.
(End of this chapter)
anger
The emperor placed people by his side, so Beijing naturally had his eyeliner.Before entering the city, I got the news that General Manager Tong was ordered to control the water, and the deadline was only three months, and he had already been ordered to take office.
Song Yinfang was startled to realize that she had caused a catastrophe. She overestimated the emperor's self-cultivation. After he found out, he didn't hold back at all. He hit her with all his strength and almost broke her heart.She covered her face and cried, "I did something wrong, I didn't expect..."
In fact, I thought about it, but I was lucky, thinking that the emperor would ask her to blame her in the end. Unexpectedly, he beat cattle across the mountain and finally started to use the knife on her relatives.She lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, "I'm going to the palace to accept the crime, please forgive me, Ama."
Rong Shi grabbed her wrist, "It's useless to go now, it's already done, and I can't take it back. Don't worry, let me think of a way. He did this just to force you out , you go in his way, so that he can take the opportunity to negotiate terms with you."
Song Yin was in a panic, forced to this point, she had to face it.She withdrew her hand and said, "Since he already knows everything, what else can we talk about? He hates me, and if he wants to kill or kill me, I will do whatever I want. I just ask him not to touch me, Ah Ma."
The Manchus are not as obsessed with chastity as the Han people, otherwise there would be no cases of a younger brother-in-law marrying a sister-in-law.When she went to the emperor, he couldn't rest assured, so he forced her back into the car, because he didn't want her to be stunned, and he kept some things from her. After a long time, seeing him sitting and waiting to die, she must have felt insecure!He hugged her tightly, "Listen to me, if he still can't let go of you, he won't do anything to you, Ama, it's nothing more than a shock to us, just to wake us up. No matter how good he is, it's not enough Ruthless, he kept Master Guo's elder brother. As long as the child is here, we won't lose. Although Yuqian has replaced someone he can trust, it is limited after all. I have been in the bodyguard for more than ten years, and I know everything better than him. His throne is not stable for three years, three years is enough for us to act. Do you know Prince Gong?"
Song Yin stared at him blankly, "Fifth Master?"
He nodded, "He used to have the deepest relationship with the late emperor. At the beginning, he lived with my elder brother, studied together and fought together. It was only because the empress dowager targeted him in several clan affairs that he gradually distanced himself from the late emperor. I told him the details, he almost entered the palace to fight for the emperor, I saw it, I knew more than half of it was done. Although his Zhenglan flag and Xianglan flag were under the five flags, they were the most brave in actual combat, and Prince Su , Prince Jane, and my brothers unite, they will definitely be able to compete with today."
She didn't expect him to plan this quietly.Thinking of the names of those princes, she felt weak, "They are all good at playing with cages and flying kites, can this be done?"
He smiled softly, "They came down from the same vine. They have different temperaments, but their blood is the same. When I was a child, I was not bad at any of them. Later, when the first emperor ascended the throne and the queen mother suppressed them one by one, they had no choice but to deal with the government. They are all descendants of the holy grandfather, who wants to be an idle prince for the rest of their lives? As long as they are given a chance, they will rise up."
She gradually calmed down and pondered whether it was feasible, "A few princes alone may not be enough."
He turned his head and lifted the curtain on the window, a ray of light hit the unicorn patch on his chest, with dragon scales and tiger eyes, never ordinary.Looking at the mountains from a distance, he said calmly, "Don't underestimate the ability of those royal relatives and relatives to fish in troubled waters. Who doesn't have three or two servants who are heart-to-heart. The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are like a vegetable garden. If you pick up a tree casually, you may be able to pull it out." A bunch of potatoes, big and small. Those princes themselves don’t participate in politics, and there are not a few banner slaves under their sects who are important officials in Zhang Jing. When the time comes, the masters and slaves will be close, after all, it will be a climate to gather together.”
The political situation that had just settled down, did not expect to make waves again.Song Yin raised her heart, "How sure are you?"
He said five points, "It's one step away, and it's Lu Run's will."
Song Yin felt that it was not feasible, "The emperor must know the decree, will it be kept until now?"
Rong Shi pulled his lips and smiled, "Based on what I know about Lu Run, he will not leave a way out for himself. People are unpredictable. When he needs it, he has one face, and when he can't use it, he has another face. If he If you don't pay attention, Tan Rui is a lesson from the past. Tan Rui made a lot of contributions to the former Emperor Yuji, so what happened? He is a prudent person, no matter how good he is, he will never hand over his life The emperor must also know this, so he can't do anything about it."
Song Yin suddenly had mixed feelings, this is politics, everyone has to check every step of the way, without even the last hand of self-defense, and in the end they don't even know how they died.
She is not like Rang Yu, who is blindly flustered when encountering things. She knows in her heart that she will follow his trajectory.
"My elder brother can't stay in the palace anymore, it's a disaster after all." She thought about it, "After Fujin died of the fifth master's illness, he got a lot of side Fujin and Shu Fujin, and gave birth to a litter of daughters, all made of a medicine jar. Son, I go back to the House of Internal Affairs every three days to see the imperial doctor. I thought about finding a chance to meet the Queen Mother and talk to her about adoption. If I can send my little elder brother to Prince Gong’s house to be raised, at least I can feel more at ease. Find a few people to take good care of it, it's safer than staying in the palace."
This is a way, but it may not be successful, after all, elder brother is easy to master in his hands, but it is difficult to master it when he is out of the palace.
Rong Shi turned his head to look at her, with a smile blooming on the corners of his lips, she is always like this, a fresh and independent individual, not a weak dodder, does not need to be attached to a man, but can help him when necessary.He stretched out his hand to hold her, "I originally wanted to discuss with a few senior officials in secret and ask them to go to the Emperor Shu to open a government office and build a mansion for my elder brother. Now your idea is more convincing, so I will do as you want. I Talk to the fifth master, let him go to the court, I can't speak in the inner court, and I have to trouble you. I haven't told you all this time, just because I was afraid that you would be involved. If something bad happens to me, I won't hurt you, who knows In the end it's up to you."
She looked at him wistfully, "Do you think I will be grateful to you if you don't involve me? When the time comes, you will kill me, and I will marry my man, and I will only have hatred left. Tell me right now, and my heart will be at peace. At least I have something to look forward to, and I have another job to do, so I don’t need to stick my butt and get beaten.”
He took her hands together and pressed them tightly together, "Don't worry about Ama's affairs. The officials in Tongshan and Qiantang are all from the Two Yellow Banners. I quietly ordered someone to do it and bring them in. Then send a secret letter to Ama, let him tamper with the accounts. Anyway, if the construction period is not completed, the superiors will definitely be blamed, and when the time comes, the blame will be pushed to those people, and we will save our lives first."
She suddenly looked at him with admiration, and always thought that he was a good man at home, who tried his best to do errands at work, and worked as a carpenter when he was off duty, taking care of children, simple and happy, without any scheming or hostility.Now it seems that this is not the case at all, carelessness is just superficial, he clearly has a cautious side, and he is unwilling to tell her what he has not accomplished, because everyone around him is not reliable, and he is becoming more and more vigilant.
She held his hand tightly, "Second Brother..."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He kissed her on the forehead, "I want to protect my wife and children, I'm a man."
She had a smile on her face, but her nose was sore, and she deliberately teased him, "It's hard for a stupid person like you to spend so much thought on it, it really hurts my heart."
He twisted his body awkwardly, "I'm just stupid in front of you, who dares to laugh at me?" Seeing that the car had already entered the city, he ordered his long follower to go straight to Tong's mansion, "Ama left Beijing, I'll go to the old man Wife, madam, kowtow to meet the elders. The family has sent someone back to inform in advance, and we will make an appointment today, and I want to see what the master can do to me."
Song Yin was a little flustered, "Is it decided today?"
He smiled, "You are all mine, and you are still delaying, so I won't give you an excuse? You are willing to wait, but I am not willing!"
Anyway, if this day is to come, I finally look forward to it. What are you afraid of?Her cheeks were hot, and there was a firm light in her eyes.They didn't intend to enter the door together, and Ama would never tell the old lady that she had gone to Chengde. She slipped back to the yard through the corner door to save some face.Now that I think about it, if I don't let my family know, maybe there will be more side issues later.The pot was simply broken, and the adults on both sides had no way out, so they stopped.
When the concierge saw someone coming, he stood on the steps and waited and watched. When they got out of the car, they made a noise, swept their sleeves and beat Qian'er, "Greetings to the second master."
Rongshi ordered: "Report to the old lady and madam for me, and ask Rongshi to see you." While speaking, he helped Songyin down.
The concierge was startled when he saw the second girl, looked at each other in dismay, and hurried into the second gate to deliver a message.
Tong's family is a big family, and there are already many people. When the news spread that the two of them came back together, there was an uproar.The wives from several other mansions also came and gathered in the old lady's room to listen to the following.There was no one around when Rong Shi entered the door, and he kowtowed, "It's been a long time since I saw old ladies and ladies, Rong Shi gave a big gift to the elders."
Manchu people pay attention to beating a thousand children, that is, kneeling on one leg, which is not so grand, and is suitable for general greetings.Kneeling on both knees is a big gift, which has a different meaning.Rong is indeed a first-rank official, and the old lady Rong's imperial order is only second-rank, so she cannot stand his kneeling.I don’t ask about kowtowing indiscriminately today. I think there must be something to say. Although I understand it in my heart, I still can’t accept it peacefully. Get up, get up and talk."
Rong Shi politely declined the support, bowed twice and kowtowed respectfully and six times, then stood up, lowered his hands and said, "I'm here today to ask for marriage. I don't dare to hide the matter between Song Yin and I from my elders. It should have been mentioned a long time ago, but it was always delayed because of such things. She and I have experienced a lot of twists and turns, but our minds have never changed. It is really unbearable until now. I want to marry her, regardless of the knife I must marry her in the oil pot under the mountain. It is my good fortune that the old lady and wife agree, if not, I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life, please watch me and see if I can keep my word.”
The people present were very surprised when they heard this, and they all watched the old lady's reaction.The old lady did not speak for a long time, she slowly caressed the Persian cat lying on her lap with her eyelids down, looked at the two of them from time to time, finally pushed the cat away, and said in a cold voice: "The second master came today, it is unexpected and reasonable Among them. Hello, you two. I knew it last year. I am not a weird old woman. I would like to see my children and grandchildren get what they want. But what happened last time, she can forgive you because of your face, but I am a grandmother. No. Your wife is too powerful. Such a mother-in-law will not be able to take care of you in the future. We were born in wrapping clothes. We served the emperor as slaves in the palace, and we will continue to be slaves when we return home. With the talents of our second girl, it is impossible. That time You didn't see what happened. When she came back, her eyes were straight, and her and I felt pain in our hearts. She has always been strong, so why has she suffered this kind of grievance? Let's make it clear, there is absolutely nothing to you Picking, it's your old ladies and wives who are picking, what do you think of us if you're so ruthless? Tong's daughters don't have to worry about getting married, even if they are sister-in-law, they can't enter your Rong's house. Besides..." She blamed her He looked at Song Yin with the meaning, "Are you sure about the current situation? Can the palace let you get married? You children, if you like it, you want to stay together forever. This is human nature, and I don't blame you. But you They are all officials, do you need my old lady to teach you how to judge the situation? Your Ama was sent to be a river supervisor, why, have you thought about it?"
Song Yin was so talked about that she couldn't hold her head up. She was too unreliable in her work this time. It was obviously the emperor's making things difficult for Ama to go to other places to control water. It was her own boldness and willfulness that hurt Ama.But now she has given it all to Rongshi, did she just give up?It has come to this point, because of all kinds of interference from the outside world, is he really not wanted?
She was caught in a dilemma, Rong Shi became anxious, and hurriedly called the old lady, "You are the most merciful person, can you just watch us suffer? Back when Rong Xu and Jin Mo got married, it meant that the brothers and sisters under the roof could walk for a long time When I went home, my mother looked for Songyin. I felt ashamed of her all the time. I didn’t dare to blame my mother. It was all my fault. If I hadn’t gotten angry with the current saint, it wouldn’t have led to that incident. The old lady refused. , I also thought about it before I came. I broke the rules by visiting the door so rashly. Because I just came back from the outside, I didn’t have time to buy anything, and I already sent a message back. All the things prepared by the family were brought into the house. Just send it to the temple to help the poor. I have a whole heart for Song Yin, as long as I do it, I will have a clear conscience, and I will bear all the difficult things in the future, and I hope the old lady will help me."
He couldn't tell the whole story of his plan, so what he said inevitably seemed empty.The old lady snorted, "What are you going to do with all your strength? Don't bring things here. Even if they enter the door, I'll throw them out. Don't make a fuss, everyone will look bad later on."
Song Yin knew that the old lady couldn't persuade her anymore, her prejudice against the Rong family had been completely transferred to Rong Shi, and now Rong Shi was made of gold, so she couldn't catch her eyes anymore.
She looked at her Ernie, the wife was unable to intervene, and the expression on her face was always in a state of surprise.Probably didn't understand why the person who claimed to have typhoid fever and closed the door to thank guests went outside and met Rong Shi.Instead of waiting for her to ask, she might as well make a confession, she made up her mind, "Old lady, lady, I haven't been home at all these two days. I went to Rehe to find him."
There are four bewildered, what does this mean?A girl's house, traveling so far, looking for a man?The wife was dumbfounded, the old lady hated iron for nothing, she patted the kang table and said, "What a capable person, you actually have the guts to say that I'm ashamed for you! Do you know how to be ashamed? Hurry up and post it, you know What does the family think? Are you planning to give me a ride because you see that I have lived a long time without dying? What kind of family education in the Tong family raised you to be such a wicked person!"
Song Yin had never been scolded so fiercely before, she was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole and go down.But she knew that she would have to go through this process after all, so she felt relieved when she said it.She knelt down side by side with Rongshi and kowtowed, "I will admit to the old lady who scolded me and beat me, but I just ask Rongshi and me. We don't want to get married right away. We just want to let the family know our determination. If we don't make arrangements, we will take him as well." Treat it as a son-in-law. As for the affairs in the palace, I will take care of it properly. Please don’t worry, old lady. We are in a difficult situation right now, and we will get better soon. Long live God is a novelty for a while. Seeing that the Eight Banners are about to be drafted, this novelty It won't take long to go to someone else's. Our family has already folded a jade, and let me fill the harem. Even if I become a queen, the family will only have a name, and the family will be separated. Is this what the old lady wants? "
Although the old lady was very angry, what she said was not nonsense, thinking of Rangyu really made people feel distressed, if the late emperor is still alive, there is finally hope.Now that the late emperor passed away, she became a concubine, a widow, and she will spend her whole life in the Forbidden City.
There were four granddaughters in the long house, one died, two entered the palace, and Tong Qing, who was left with no knowledge of human affairs, was of any use!Song Yin carried the hopes of a large family, and originally planned to keep her at home and find a son-in-law who came to visit.If it enters the palace, it will be thrown into the cold water tank for nothing, and it will be terribly cold.
The old lady turned her head and asked the wife, "This is your daughter, what do you say?"
The wife is very fierce to Ama, and she is submissive in front of the old lady and dare not make up her mind.She looked at Rongshi, and bowed to the old lady, "Everything is up to the old lady."
At this time, Penglai's daughter-in-law came to the second door to pass the message, saying: "Mrs. Rong asked her natal uncle to give her a betrothal gift. The cart is full of incense guns, bracelets, wedding cakes and vegetables. Please make a decision for the old lady."
What should I do, when the conversation comes to this point, people have also come to the door, so it is not easy to go outside, the old lady sighed, "You are trying to kill the whole family."
Seeing that there was some looseness, the two exchanged glances, and their hearts became happy.Rong Shi said: "Don't worry, old lady, I also know that it is not appropriate to make any publicity at this moment. I told my uncle to be careful in advance, and we will settle in secret. When the time is right, I will make arrangements again. I will never wrong Song Yin."
As for whether the emperor will have an attack, he has a good idea in his mind. He has been on the throne for less than three months, and it is time to hide his strength and bide his time. With Yan Sui's cunning, it is impossible to take off his face and ignore it.But if he really wants to start a fight, that's fine, the more he messes up, the more opportunities they have to take advantage of.If the first emperor hadn't been afraid of the queen mother and had selfish intentions to fear that his brothers would seize the throne, he would have gotten up early to recover those princes, perhaps Yan Sui would not be where he is today.It's a pity that if one step is wrong, every step is wrong, and the princes can only be united after he is promoted.
65
Mrs. Rong's brother Dao Jie, who is also Rong Shi's uncle, works in the Ministry of Household Affairs and also has contacts with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.They are all officials in the court, they don't look up and look down, they are very polite to their in-laws, and they have done a lot of courtesy when they meet. Of course, Mrs. Rong's unkind things will never be mentioned last time. Mr. Tong’s ability to handle affairs is 1 guests. I didn’t expect our two families to get married in the end. His mother Rong Shi met me several times and mentioned Mr. Tong repeatedly. At that time, she didn’t say that she wanted to settle , I just spared no effort to praise Mr. Tong's ability, and I expected this to happen, and I really expected it." As he said, he smiled and praised Rongshi, "Our brother is blessed, Mr. Tong has such a character. Talent and learning are hard to find even with a lantern. A fool has a fool, so he has good luck. From now on, we will be a family. I hope Master Xiaotong will forgive me a lot."
This set of rhetoric is almost a dialogue in the officialdom, Song Yin is a little embarrassed, "Uncle is too polite, just call me Song Yin. Bao Han dare not say it, mutual care is inevitable. Now that there is this layer, there is nothing to say Woolen cloth."
Daojie nodded his head incessantly, and said to the old lady and his wife: "When I came, my sister reminded my in-laws, please look at Jin Mo and Rong Xu's face, if there were any misunderstandings in the past, she will tell the in-laws. Now the two children Since there is love, I have gone through all this and have not been able to break them up. I would like to ask my in-laws to be perfect and stop making them difficult. She and the old lady at home are not convenient to come. They are waiting for my good letter at home. Songyin is one in a million I have a complete set of children, if it wasn't for the taboo right now...the in-laws and the second girl should be entertained. This one is missing, and the others will make up for it. We will give double the gift money for jewelry, and I just ask the in-laws and the second girl to forgive me." He said to himself. He took out a small bag from his bosom, opened his hands and held it over, "This is a pair of pearl-returning and nine-turn exquisite bracelets given by Empress Sheng Xiaoren when the old imperial order was granted by the ancestors. The wife has been reluctant to wear it, saying that she will pass it on to her daughter-in-law. Right now, Rong Shi and the second girl have made an appointment, and the wife orders to bring the dowry for the second girl."
Xiapin can do this, on the surface it seems that there is really nothing to choose.The old lady looked at the gift boxes in the room, not because she was greedy for their little things, because if she treated Song Yin like that before, if she didn't bow her head, even if there was something between the two children, Song Yin would never give it to the Rong family.Now it seems that Mrs. Rong has given in, and after listening to her uncle's words, the old lady finally feels a little more at ease.She slowly let out a long breath, and said with a smile: "Since we are married, there are not so many hagglings. Please tell me, my uncle and master. Our two families are in-laws. Even though the eldest girl and the eldest uncle are gone, we still have a relationship in our hearts." Treat them as relatives. Now that Rongshi and Songyin are married again, they are relatives. In the future, we Songyin will serve in the past, and we will ask our in-laws to treat her as our daughter, and we will do the same to Rongshi."
Dao Jie Nuo Nuo said, "I will definitely bring the message to the old lady. Please rest assured. The second girl will pass the door in the future. The old lady and the wife don't have to worry about her being wronged. My sister has raised two sons, and the old lady at home is rare. Daughter, you will never treat your daughter-in-law like a mother-in-law outside, serving tea and water, standing in order, and not treating your daughter-in-law as a human being."
Mrs. Rong's statement may not be voluntary. Of course, Song Yin has an official title on the one hand, but on the other hand, when Rong Shi came back from Rehe, his destructive spirit was simply playing tricks.What is it like to insert the door backwards, become a monk, become a eunuch, and die outside, scaring the old ladies and wives at home out of their wits.So who would dare to oppose him?It is better for a daughter-in-law to be unhappy than a dead son. The two elders finally gave in, and he can do whatever he wants, and everything is up to him.Besides, Song Yin, a girl like her has no arrogance. After what happened last time, Mrs. Rong changed her mind and endured the humiliation. Be well informed.The next two pieces of satin completely left them speechless, this is a girl who is able to bend and stretch, and compared with her, Yi Zhuang can't even keep up with her.Marrying a wife and a virtuous person, not holding grudges, is not because she has nothing to do with you, but because she has deep affection and is willing to tolerate.Now that they have reached this point again, no matter how hard they try to stop them, they will only be empty-handed villains.Seeing Rong Shi's appearance, she is indeed the master who has gone all the way to the dark. Since Song Yin is destined to be the daughter-in-law of his Rong family, there is no need to make the relationship so rigid. After all, let's keep a thread of favor, so that we can meet each other in the future.When the current problem is solved, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law still have to get along with each other. Eyes are not eyes, nose is not nose, how can we live in harmony?
So each took a step back, and the two reached a consensus to approve the marriage.It's just that the situation is urgent, so don't make any noise for the time being, men and women don't marry, stick to each other, and the family no longer presses them, everything is settled anyway, and the rest is up to God.
Song Yin was sent out because of Ama, and the House of Internal Affairs was left unattended, so Fogg came in, confused, she was worried, and finally returned to duty.Of course, maintaining the daily operation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is only one of them. She also has other things on her mind, such as the draft right in front of her eyes, elder brother's adoption of the fifth master, and the life-saving talisman in Lu Run's hand.In order to coordinate with the previous court, she will also help him in the inner court.In fact, she still can't believe everything he planned, but his purpose of admiring the little elder brother has not changed.It was destroyed by the sudden death of the first emperor before, but now he has readjusted his plan, and with the help of the fifth master and others, he can continue to walk the unfinished road.People are not selfish and live a life in vain, the country is still there, the Daqin is still there, the emperor takes turns to do it, come to my house today, anyway, the emperor's throne is in the Wuya family, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, just save everyone's life and make their marriages perfect up.
But maybe it was because of a guilty conscience, she was unavoidably a little paranoid, afraid that the emperor would come to find fault with her.After waiting for a long time in fear, there was no movement.Hanging like this, as if she was being roasted on the fire, she began to consider whether she should go to the Qianqing Palace to report back, saying that she has recovered and is on duty.Although her actions are in his hands, she took the initiative to meet him, at least showing an attitude, rather than being questioned by him, it is better to preemptively strike.
It just so happened that she was ordered by the Empress Dowager to investigate the daughters of several high-ranking officials, and she got news of everything.Before going to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, go to the Palace of Qianqing. Sooner or later, you will have to face it, and hiding is not an option.Qianqing Palace is the center of the inner court. There are upper study room and south study room on both sides of the verandah. It is another important place for the emperor to discuss politics and study.Because the first emperor passed away in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and now I feel jealous, so I moved the bedroom to the Qianqing Palace.In such a place, dignity and dignity permeate everywhere, no matter who enters the door, they will naturally be three points shorter, even the lord of the world is no exception.He is a ruthless rascal behind others, but he pretends to be a wise gentleman in front of others.Even if he gets angry again when officials deal with each other, he still has fear when he gets angry.
She straightened her clothes in front of the bronze mirror, turned around and went up to the Longzong Gate. The terrace and imperial road in front of the Qianqing Palace are not accessible to everyone, and she often drills into the tiger's hole for convenience.Those are three spacious culverts, which are specially used for walking in the palace. On the way, I met several imperial eunuchs. When they saw her, they all sighed, "Is the manager Xiao Tong safe?"
She smiled and said yes, "Is Lord Long Live busy now?"
The eunuch who waited on paper and ink said: "Just finished approving the papers, the outside documents came in again, talking to some Zhang Jing, you have to wait for a while."
She nodded, "What about Lu Run?"
"Lu Zhangyin attendant, you sent someone in and came out as soon as you called."
She said good, and went up the corridor with her gown.
The emperor was in the Maoqin Hall, and she glanced at it from a distance. The young emperor was full of heroism, and his gestures were full of arrogance.She stood with her hands tucked in, and sometimes hesitated. In fact, the current political situation is fairly stable, but he is intolerant, and it is inevitable that people will bear hatred.Is it useful to set up secret whistles outside the houses of all the important officials of the imperial court?What should be growing is still growing, but she can no longer see the way forward. Perhaps it was doomed to tragedy from the time when Bachelor Cong Rong surrendered his heir to the fourth.
The emperor on that side was paying all his attention, but Lu Run had already spotted her.The news that she had come back from Rehe and that the Rong family would be settled had already reached the imperial court. Doing so would only anger the emperor, but it would not do them any good at all.
He glanced up, quietly backed out, and walked towards her.It's always a little awkward to meet each other now, because the grudge has already arisen, his thoughts remain the same, but she is gradually alienated.
There was a moment of relative silence, and finally he spoke first, "The emperor is doing maintenance, please wait a moment."
She lowered her eyes and stared at the toe of her shoes, and after a while she heard him ask again: "How are you doing recently?"
It wasn't hypocritical that he didn't ask if she was cured.She hummed, "It's all good."
She talked less, and she was no longer as warm and friendly as before, he couldn't help feeling sorry.After falling silent, I still felt that I should mention her, "The matter between you and Rongshi... Sheng Gong was furious. Why did it suddenly come to an end?"
She said: "I feel that when the time comes, we should make a decision. How about, really enter the palace and become a queen?" She smiled, "You know, I don't care about those reputations, I just want someone who can live a stable life Men are equal, you don't have to call yourself a slave when you see him."
This is a simple wish, and no one wants to bow their heads in front of their husbands for the rest of their lives.Although the emperor and empress can also raise the eyebrows, but in essence?Ordinary couples quarrel, at most they just make up and leave.The relationship between the emperor and empress deteriorated, and there was probably no other choice but to imprison the cold palace and impose death.
He was also a little sad when she got engaged, his heart was empty, as if he had lost something.But he is not like the emperor, who is furious when he doesn't agree with her. He respects her decision, and if she can live well, he has no extravagant hopes.As for who she married, it didn't matter, as long as she was happy.
"Be careful before the emperor, don't contradict him." He said, "Your Majesty will return the order in April, and you will still ask him for something."
She understands that this is what the master wants, to push people down to the end, so that you have to give in, and then he can handle you.However, Lu Run can mention her, which shows that there is still a bit of friendship between them.Facing him, she often had an indescribable feeling, disappointment and pity go hand in hand, hatred and respect go hand in hand.Rong Shi wanted to take the will from him, what would be the consequences if he handed it over?The eunuch's political affairs have caused the country to be unstable. Can he still survive?
She raised her eyes to look at him, experienced some things, more and more pure and natural.Thinking of his entanglement with Rang Yu, she felt embarrassed again, "I saw the Emperor Daxing fight three times that day, you and Rang Yu..."
He has a calm face, and he intends to let her know that even if he joins with such a hideous character, he still has a bond with the Tong family, and with her.
He thought she would get angry, blame him for ruining Rangyu, and even keep him away from her, but she didn't.She dejectedly said: "It was me and Ama who put her into the palace. I felt sorry for letting her be a widow at such a young age. But I couldn't save her. The late emperor promoted her to the imperial concubine, and she had to be suppressed by her ancestors." Trapped in this deep palace for the rest of my life." She looked at him lonely, "You are rooted in the Forbidden City, only you can stay with her for a long time. I entrust her to you, please take care of her for me, she is so pitiful, talent."
With her words, even if he goes through fire and water, he will definitely make room for her.He nodded, "Don't worry."
With just such a simple promise, she had already handed over the burden to him.In all fairness, although she was disappointed with him, she never hated him deeply.Who in the world does not plan for himself?He was living in a purgatory piled with splendor, and if he didn't try his best to climb out, he could only bury his bones there in the end.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her head to look at the Maoqin Palace, "The emperor wishes to eat me alive right now?"
He said yes, "You owe it."
She also admitted, "The worst consequence is to harm my Ama. If there is something wrong with my Ama, I have to die to apologize."
He paused and said: "Look at luck, you can't make mistakes here, otherwise the gods won't be able to save him."
Just as she was talking, the ministers who were involved in the palace retreated one by one. She hurried over and waited outside the gate of the palace, waiting for Lu Run to go in and deliver a message.He thought that the emperor would rush to summon her and scold her head and face, but it didn't work out, so he just left her alone and made her wait on the porch for an hour.
She had cramps in her calves from standing, and she didn't dare to move, so she could only be nailed there like a wooden stake.Finally Lu Run came out and gave her a wink, she understood, and walked over the threshold with his sleeves hanging down.
The emperor sat behind one layer after another of yellow veils, with frost gathering between his brows, and he was awed by the sight.She knelt down and nodded, "The minister returns to the palace to report on his duties, and I respectfully invite the emperor to be safe."
The emperor above looked at her with a frown, and the corners of his lips tugged lightly, "Going back to the palace to report on his duties, Zhong Cui climbed back to the stove in the palace, and he had time to finish all his own affairs. Master Tong is very calculating."
Song Yin pawed at the gold bricks, getting shorter and shorter, but didn't answer.It's not good to say anything at this time, it's better to keep silent.
But for the emperor, this time was simply the most tormenting in his life.If he didn't see her, he wished he could cut her into pieces, but when he saw her, he felt that his anger had disappeared without a trace.This is what it is like to like someone, even if she makes a big mistake, as long as she looks back, she can be forgiven.
"What I told you, you never take it to heart, why?" He stood up, waved all the people in the temple out.He stepped down from the throne, walked in front of her, and looked down at her, "You and I have a heart-to-heart relationship, it really makes me sad. Why are you going to Rehe? Why are you going to see him? Why are you going to spend time with him? Can't I do something to you? I am the king of a country, and I can raid your homes with one political order, and send you to Heilongjiang to smash wooden stakes, are you really not afraid?"
"The slave respects the master and is as vigilant as facing the heaven and the earth. I have already said what should be said before. The slave has little morality and feels that it is difficult to accept the grace of the saints. Please let the master allow the slave to be mediocre." She presented the book, "This It is an old note drawn up by Lafayette's servants, and it contains ladies from aristocratic families, so I respectfully invite you to preview it."
With a wave of his hand, he knocked the booklet down on the ground, "Don't use the empress dowager's name to block my mouth, I'm thinking, if a decree is awarded to your Tong family, what can you do?"
She just touched her head to the ground, "The talent show is coming soon, and thousands of eyes are watching, master, please think twice."
All of her words are evasive words, but after thinking about it again and again, it is not unreasonable. None of the courtiers, queen mother, and clan can allow him to act arbitrarily.He was very discouraged, and she was sure of this, so she would be confident.
He smiled coldly, "Forget it, I don't want to be canonized, and I won't force you. But listen carefully, if you don't marry the emperor, no one in this world is worthy of you. In this case, I will guard you in my boudoir this life. Keep your reputation for the rest of your life. I will kill whoever you marry, if you don’t believe me, just try it.”
What I can't get, no one else can get it. This is his purpose.
Song Yin closed her eyes forcefully, although her heart sank, she still comforted herself, this is not the worst outcome, not ordering her to immediately resign from the Rong family's marriage, not letting her become a nun, is already the biggest thing to her Forgiveness.She kowtowed deeply, "I would like to follow the teachings of the master."
He stared at her with a mocking smile on his lips, not knowing whether to laugh at her or himself.She would rather not marry for the rest of her life than be his queen, which shows how failed he really is.She probably thinks that marrying or not is just a ceremony, even if she has no name or distinction, as long as she can be with Rongshi, nothing else matters.
What a deep love, love so much that you don't care about your future, doesn't it matter even if you are a concubine?Do you really think he has no way to deal with them?He walked over, picked up the booklet that had fallen on the ground, flipped it through, and raised his voice to call the eunuch Bingbi to come, "To draw up an imperial edict, Gao Jia, the daughter of Erle, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was born in a hairpin tassel, has both virtue and appearance, and ordered to give it to you." Marrying the minister of guards, going to the study to walk..."
Song Yin raised her head in panic, this person really hurt his roots, he would harm others if he couldn't ask for it, what's the matter with this kind of inexplicable gift of marriage?Before he finished speaking, she straightened up, "The house of internal affairs is complicated and trivial, and my father used to preside over it. Now my father is ordered to go south to control the water, and the minister has great ambitions and talents, and feels embarrassed. Long live the minister, please return the order, and look to the emperor Complete."
The emperor stood there stunned, a lot of soldiers came to stop him, he gave Rong Shi a marriage, she would not even be an official, is this a threat?
He looked at her angrily, "I plan to become an official, but unfortunately I'm not old enough. Tong Jia's family has done business for the court for generations. Now that you remove your armor, you plan to remove your ancestor's shade?" He turned his face away, "No .”
She has a firm look in her eyes, and her slender waist is straight, "The minister is incompetent and shameless, and often makes the master angry, so he wants to go away."
He raised his voice, "I told you, no."
She turned her head to look at the pen that was transcribing over there. Qing Xiang stopped the tip of the pen and stared blankly at the emperor.The emperor was annoyed, but he couldn't help it. With a wave of his hand, he hurriedly rolled up the pen and paper and retreated.
The situation is falling like a mountain, he is not convinced, the score is obviously earlier than Rong Shi, why did he lose to him?Sure enough, she took the ecstasy drug and was willing to be degraded?If the queen is wrong, even if she does not marry for life, she still has to rely on a Han official.Rong Shi is the only son of the Rong family, and has the responsibility to pass on the family line. She cannot marry, and he might not marry. Now that she is going against him, does it really take that for the sake of repentance?He was so angry that his brain ached, so he could only send her away to avoid being pissed off, "Get out, go back to your house of internal affairs. Tomorrow is the day of the draft. If there is a slight mistake, I will peel your skin !"
She answered the question, got up and left the Maoqin Hall.After taking a long breath outside, I realized that my back was dripping with cold sweat, soaking my little clothes.
Fortunately, there is no danger, if the imperial decree to bestow marriage is issued, Rongshi accepts it and disappoints her, otherwise it will be a flagrant disobedience to the imperial order, which is enough to punish her and demote her.She also had no choice but to bite the bullet and contradict him.If you shrink back at this time, I'm afraid it will be really hard to recover.When she walked out of the Qianqing Palace, she was still numb, fighting wits and courage every day, and her life was really exhausting.She leaned against the palace wall for a long time, and her heart gradually calmed down.In the future, I'm afraid it's not easy to be honest, the emperor must send someone to inform him, and ask him to be prepared. I don't know what the end of their marriage will be. If things don't change, she will only be an old girl.Fortunately, there is hope. She is not the kind of person who can't bear it. Even if she doesn't see her for a long time, as long as she has firm belief, she can wait even for a few months or a few years.
