The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 720 Destruction of relatives ([-])

To say that Yuanyuan is really an extremely smart woman, she knows how to use a man's affection for her to sow discord.

After leaving the palace that day, within three months, spies from the Niuhulu clan outside the palace came to report that Yinfeng and Suo'etu had a close relationship, and the two colluded secretly and depended on each other.

Relying on having the grand nephew of the prince, Suo'etu's behavior became more and more rebellious. He privately amassed money and promoted officials, withheld taxes, and the amount of money he was greedy for was unknown.

But Yinfeng, under the instigation of Yuanyuan, became increasingly violent.

One day when he was traveling eastward in the market, a vendor who was more than seventy years old blocked his horse. He immediately lost his temper and beat the old man half to death in the street.

The officials knew about this matter, and reported it to the emperor in the early morning. The emperor was furious when he heard the words, and he didn't say anything to appease the old man, and even reprimanded Yinfeng for many wrongdoings.

However, the matter did not end here. After Yinfeng returned to the mansion, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. In addition, Yuanyuan added fuel and vinegar, which made him want to kill.

One month after this incident, the speaker unexpectedly died suddenly at home without any warning.

Everyone knows that this matter has something to do with Yinfeng, but there is no evidence, and they are really afraid of the prince's violence, no one dares to touch this bad luck again.

Wanyu, who saw all this in her eyes, didn't pay attention to it, and didn't say a word in front of the emperor.

Just waiting for him to accumulate these defiant, reckless, violent and immoral crimes to the point where he hates his mistakes and can't turn back, and then they will attack them all together.

Besides, the Tong clan originally had great hopes for Yinzhen, Rongyue's adopted son, but ever since the imperial concubine changed her status as a concubine to become Yinzhen's biological mother, it made the Tong clan feel uneasy all day long.

In the past, we all knew how Rong Yue and Wan Yu were incompatible with each other in the palace. Now that she became Yin Zhen's biological mother, how could she still allow him to have a close relationship with the Tong clan?
So gradually began to alienate Yinzhen.

One day when Longkodo came down to the court, he saw Yinzhen who was going to pay his respects to the Qianqing Palace. He was no longer intimate than before, but instead bowed respectfully.

Although Yinzhen still called his uncle, he quickly waved his hands, saying that he came from a humble background, and he dared not marry the fourth elder brother.

When the incident spread to Wanyu's ears, Wu Lu and Long Ke sent another word.

It is only said that the old hatred is gone, and Yinzhen is still the prince raised by each other, so there is no need to hold grudges.

Even if this is the case, it still cannot dispel the wariness of the Tong family.

Later, in the 38th year of Kangxi, the emperor intended to return to the position of noble concubine, honored as concubine degui, and took charge of the affairs of the six palaces again.

Wan Yu declined on the grounds that she was not negligent, and instead recommended another person to the emperor.

It is only said that a few years ago, Rong Yue's sister, Rong Yu, was named concubine, and she assisted Concubine Hui to manage the sixth palace, and she contributed a lot to keeping the harem in order.

Moreover, she is young, stable and stable, and she is a person who can accomplish things.

In addition, the Tong family always complained about Rong Yue's death, and after all, Rong Yu was no better than Rong Yue, she was a genuinely gentle and kind person, and she was the emperor's cousin, giving her the title of noble concubine would win over the Tong family Swearing allegiance to the Qing Dynasty to the death, and secondly, being able to manage the harem peacefully left the emperor and the empress dowager with some energy.

The emperor didn't make a decision immediately when he heard her words, but from the expression on the emperor's face, Wanyu could already see the plan in his heart.

So Yinzhen and Longke were asked to talk more, only saying that he himself strongly recommended the emperor Rong Yu as a noble concubine, to show that his intimacy with the Tong family remained the same as before.

At first, it was just childish nonsense. In the middle of the 39th year of Kangxi, Rong Yu issued the imperial decree to confer the concubine, and the first day of December was proposed as the canonization ceremony. This completely convinced the Tong family to believe Yinzhen's words, and also Let go of the fear of Wanyu, and rebuild the old relationship with each other.

It was also during this year that Wu Lu collected and listed eight major crimes in the previous dynasty, including Suo'etu accumulating wealth and promoting officials, corrupting the law, embezzlement of taxes, and dispatching troops secretly, and handed them over to the spokesperson anonymously.

The emperor was furious when he heard about this incident, but he broke out immediately, and only ordered his subordinates to investigate secretly.

Suo'etu had insight into the opportunity, and in the 40th year of Kangxi, he asked to retire on the grounds that he was old and unable to serve the emperor wholeheartedly.

But at this time, the emperor sent people to thoroughly investigate all the secrets of Suo'etu, how could he be allowed to resign?
So he dismissed his request to retire and return to his hometown on the grounds that the country could not live without the care of his important ministers during his southern tour.

In September of the 41st year of Kangxi, the emperor made his fourth southern tour. During this year's southern tour, he ordered the crown prince, the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother to accompany him. Now that you have collected Suo'etu's many crimes, you only need to protect the prince blindly and behave well in front of your emperor Ama, don't be too outstanding and make the prince's 'limelight' go."

Under the instruction of Dewan, Yinzhen is smart and immediately understands how to act.

During this southern tour, it was common for Yinreng to act surly, disrespectful and disrespectful to the accompanying courtiers, and even the Taifu who taught him in the past often reprimanded him, and every time this happened, it was Yinzhen who comforted Yinreng to calm him down After the incident, I can't help feeling a little more fond of Yinzhen.

Seeing that the emperor looked sideways at Yinzhen, Yinreng couldn't help feeling jealous. He accompanied the chariots and horses along the way, and humiliated Yinzhen when the emperor couldn't see him. Yinzhen didn't say anything, but waited for him to mention it. When his biological mother was Xin Zheku's lowly maidservant, he couldn't bear it anymore, and secretly plotted against her.

When I was in Dezhou, I heard that some residents in Bian Village had contracted typhoid fever, which killed many people.

The typhoid fever came fiercely, and the symptoms were unusual, so it was extremely difficult to cure.

Yinzhen had a plan in mind, and went in and out of the border village at night, and exchanged the daily drinking water of the residents for the clean water in Yinreng's accompanying bag.

In the next three days, Yinfeng suddenly fell ill at the border of Dezhou, and the high fever persisted, which made the emperor feel anxious.

It was the day when the emperor discussed with Yinzhen that he wanted to terminate the southern tour and return ahead of schedule. At this time, the spies came to report, and they all reported Suo'etu's crimes.

The emperor was furious, and Yinfeng was furious under the thunder, only saying that he and Suo'etu were in one body, and his thoughts must be indispensable here.

Seeing the emperor's anger, Yinzhen knelt down and advised, "Ama Huang, the second elder brother is currently ill. It would be very sad for you to let the second elder brother know about it. My son thinks that the second elder brother is just a bit hot-tempered. Seeing that Huang Ama is very respectful and extremely filial, she will definitely not give birth to such muddled thoughts."

The emperor snorted lightly, and said sternly: "If he didn't have such thoughts, how could Suo'etu have the guts? Colluding with courtiers, giving and receiving privately, protecting each other by officials and officials, and withholding tax money! He dares to influence the court's employment. There are many things that he can let him do." Suo'etu has the ability to reach the sky, and he can't do it alone!"

Yinzhen persuaded: "Huang Ama is suspicious, but suspicion can only be suspicious. It is not difficult to be realistic. Although the illness of the second elder brother is fierce, it is not a serious illness that can kill one's life. Why don't Huang Ama call Suo'etu to Dezhou to attend to the sick immediately? Then continue the journey and leave the two of them alone."
