The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 193
The queen followed the order of the nanny and performed movements that could correct the fetal position three times a day in the palace, please stop in the harem.

But with the tranquility of the harem, the turmoil of the previous dynasty has resumed.

Earlier, in order to check and balance Wu Sangui, in the 11th year of Shunzhi, the first emperor used the excuse of marrying Princess Jianning and Wu Yingxiong, Wu Sangui's son, so that Wu Yingxiong remained in the court as a son-in-law and was actually a hostage.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yingxiong colluded with the courtiers and secretly informed Wu Sangui of the emperor's decision to withdraw the domain in advance.

Wu Sangui wanted to send a secret envoy to take Wu Yingxiong away from the capital, but because of his close relationship with Princess Jianning, he did not want to leave, so he secretly ordered the envoy to secretly take his eldest son Wu Shifan away from the capital.

Wu Sangui, king of Pingxi, surrendered on the surface, but in fact he was false and submissive. In November of this year, he raised troops with the intention of rebelling.

When Wu Sangui rebelled, he wanted to threaten Zhu Guozhi, then governor of Yunnan, to use him.

Zhu Guozhi strictly refused, and Wu Sangui was so angry that he beheaded and killed him. Even the corpse was ordered to be divided and eaten by his soldiers, and the bones were crushed and fed to wild dogs.

This kind of reckless behavior was not over yet, he also proclaimed himself the title of "all the world recruits soldiers and horses" and proposed "Xing Ming begs captives", pointing the finger at the court.

After Zhu Guozhi was killed, people in Yunnan and Guizhou were scattered, and a large number of officials surrendered because of his lust.

Wu Sangui arrested disobedient officials below the procuratorial envoy, and issued an appeal, claiming to be "formerly the general officer guarding Shanhaiguan, now under the decree of the president, the general of the world's land and water, and the general of Xingming to seek captives."

Pretending to support Ming Sizong's fifth son, Zhu Cihuan, the 'third prince of the first emperor', as emperor, he fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, ordered his officials and civilians to grow their hair, change their clothes, and abolish the Manchu rules.

In addition, Zhang Guozhu, the governor of Yunnan, Cao Shenji, the governor of Guizhou, and Li Benshen, the governor of Guizhou, rebelled together with Wu Sangui.

At that time, Gan Wenkun, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, was shocked to hear the accident in the cabinet. He quickly informed Cai Yurong, the governor of Sichuan and Lake, and rushed to Zhenyuan.

When this incident was reported to the court, the emperor was so furious that he ignored the dissuasion of the courtiers and thought of punishing Wu Sangui himself.

There was a lot of snow that day, and Hegong was very calm when he heard the news that the emperor wanted to march in person.

Even the empress dowager and the empress dowager tried to persuade the emperor several times to no avail.

Later, Wan Lai cooked a few appetizers and went to the Qianqing Palace to greet the emperor. Outside the Qianqing Palace, Liang Jiugong was independent in the wind and snow, and his body was covered with a thick layer of snow particles, but he did not dare to shake off.

Seeing Wanyu coming from a distance, he hurriedly stretched his body to meet him: "Oh, Madam Wanpin, why are you here in such a snowy day?"

Wanyu held the food box and covered her red palms with cold, and asked with a white mist in her mouth, "Is the emperor still angry?"

Liang Jiugong sighed helplessly: "That's not true, since the news spread to Beijing, you can see that the emperor has not entered the harem for almost a month."

"I'm going to take a look."

Wan Lai was about to step in as she said that, but Liang Jiugong stopped her with a look of embarrassment on her face: "Miss Wan Concubine, the road is more difficult to walk at night in a snowy day, please go back."

He moved closer to Wanyan, lowered his voice and said: "The empress dowager, the empress dowager, the empress, and the concubine Yi all took turns to comfort the emperor, but the emperor didn't listen to anyone, and insisted on conquest by the emperor himself. If you go in now, you will touch the bad luck of the state affairs, and I am afraid that you will have a quarrel with the emperor. It is a taboo for the servant to see whoever gets involved in this matter, the empress and the holy family are worried, so you should stay away."

"Eunuch Liang's words, I don't agree with this." Wanyu ignored her dissuasion, and walked in with the food box: "The emperor treats me preferentially, why does he have to worry about it, so I just want to hide?" ?Even if others have come to persuade me, I still have to say everything I have to say in front of the emperor. Even if I can’t shake his decision, even if there is a quarrel with him because of this, I can’t avoid this matter, if so , wouldn't you let down the emperor's friendship with this palace?"

Liang Jiugong stopped him all the way, but after all Wanyu had the status of a concubine, he didn't dare to be tough after all, so he could only follow Wanyu all the way and persuade him earnestly.

When he entered the main hall, the emperor was flipping through a volume of military books. He frowned and raised his head when he saw the two people entering the room noisy. One person.

"Your majesty has been looking at that book of war for a long time, and it's all black and blue, so let's take a rest first." Wannai stepped forward to close the book of war before the emperor's case, opened the food box, and took out two strange people from inside. vegetable.

A dish of steamed sea bass is normal, but the lip of the sea bass was cut off by an excellent knife and placed on the tail of the fish on the plate. The small, bright teeth of the sea bass are exposed, which is a bit scary to watch.

The other dish is stewed quail with ham full of fragrance. There are two quails in the urn, but the size is very different. The larger quail is spreading its wings and protecting the smaller quail, just like a loving mother. General.

The emperor stared at the two dishes, and sighed deeply: "Wan'er is trying so hard to tell me the truth of 'the lips are dead and the teeth are cold' and 'the poison of a tiger does not eat its children'?"

Wannai smiled, and took the jade dish to serve the emperor: "The concubine only cares about making some delicious dishes so that the emperor can eat more, how can I know so much about other things. It's just two ordinary dishes, how can I tell the emperor Those reasons?"

The emperor looked calm, picked up the fish lips with his chopsticks, and swallowed, then picked out the small quail in the urn and threw it on the ground: "If he knew how to protect his son, he would not dare to act like this! Wu Yingxiong is still in the princess mansion In the past, he, Wu Sangui, rebelled so blatantly, did he ever take his eldest son's life at heart?"

Wannai kicked the quail thrown on the ground by the emperor a little farther, and said in a deep voice, "What does it matter whether he cares or not? After all, the life of his child is in your hands. Now he wants to withdraw because of the emperor. The dog jumped over the wall and rose up to resist. Now your royal conquest has boosted morale, but if the imperial court wants to suppress it with troops, it will take at least four or five years to fight the battle. At that time, the name of the horse leather shroud will not survive, but it is a situation that the emperor would like to see ?”

"But I can't leave him alone. This battle must be fought. Not only must I fight, but I must win him beautifully! Let other people with different hearts look at the fate of opposing the Qing Dynasty and me. !"

Wan Lai nodded, and said with a faint smile: "That's the case, the emperor can't go on a personal conquest, as if he thinks highly of him, Wu Sangui, a mere traitor, working hard for the emperor himself to punish him, wouldn't it make him even more rebellious? "

The emperor's face was solemn, and he thought for a long time before he said: "This meaning, because I was extremely angry, I didn't hesitate for a while. What Wan'er said is true, I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and the imperial conquest has really given him enough face. On the contrary, it fuels the enemy's arrogance!"
