The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 746
The news of Concubine Liang’s sudden death spread to Changchun Garden. The emperor hurried back to the palace to arrange the funeral ceremony for Concubine Liang. .

After all, Ru Ge was the one who won the emperor's favor for a while, even if the favor is no longer the same, but now that the person is dead, the emperor still misses the old love, and he has been mourned for a long time.

In April of the following year, Longkodo privately collected evidence of collusion between Jiduo courtiers and the prince, and presented it to the imperial court.

At the very least, it is the case that Shen Tiansheng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, colluded with foreigner Ilse, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, to take over the case of Lake Beach and Heshuo to claim more money.

After obtaining confessions by torture, there are many people involved in this case.

Qi Shiwu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, accepted 3000 taels of bribes, Tuo Heqi, the commander of the infantry, accepted 400 taels of bribes, and Geng, Minister of the Ministry of War, accepted 1000 taels of bribes.

These bribe-taking bankers are really not a big number in the big corruption case, but because they were involved in the princeling party early in the morning, they were in the same spirit as Yinfeng and shielded each other, so the emperor decided to punish them severely .

According to the decree, the three bribe-takers, like the main criminals Shen Tiansheng and Ilse, were hanged and executed after autumn.

Because Qi Shiwu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, had the closest relationship with Yinreng, he ordered him to nail his five bodies to the wall with iron nails to die, which can be described as extremely cruel.

Yinreng heard about the emperor's execution in the previous court, how could he not know that the anger was directed at himself, but spread on others?

Therefore, he was in panic all day long, and stayed behind closed doors in the East Palace, hiding from the limelight.

At the beginning of June, the emperor made a tour outside the Great Wall, and Yinzhen accompanied him.

Today's Yinfeng is like a water chestnut floating on the surface of a lake. Throwing a stone on the surface of the lake at will will engulf the bottom of the lake with ripples.

On the way together, Yinzhen mentioned a lot of Yinreng's mistakes with the emperor in the open and in the dark. On the surface, he was pleading for his second brother, but in fact, he wanted the emperor to understand Yinreng's mistakes and cut him off. The possibility of inheriting the great rule in the future.

Yinzhen made moves outside the palace, and Wanyan was not idle in the Forbidden City.

Empress Dowager Renxian is old and sick, and she is really bedridden.She trusts Wanyu very much, and she always waits on her side whenever she is ill.

After taking care of them for a long time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law always have free time to gossip.

One day, Empress Dowager Renxian said to Wanyu: "Recently, the emperor and Yinreng have been estranged. You are the most favored by the emperor. You also watched Yinreng grow up. On weekdays, you should also advise the emperor a few more words."

Wan Yu was terrified, and said repeatedly: "The Empress Dowager knows that, the ministers and concubines dare not persuade them."

"Don't dare?" The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows to look at her, seeing that her eyes were dodging, she seemed to be hiding something from herself, so she ordered, "If there is anything between you and Ai's family that you want to hide, you are not unfamiliar?"

So she coaxed Wanyu to reveal all her scruples and scruples in her heart. Wanyu's eyes were reddish, and she said with lingering fear: "I don't dare to talk too much about court affairs, but there are always things about the previous dynasty that are passed into my ears for no reason. I can hear this. I'm afraid the other concubines can hear it too. Yinfeng's speech is really true."

She let out a long sigh and said helplessly, "Does the Empress Dowager know that the infantry commander Tuo Heqi who was hanged by the emperor will be executed later?"

The Empress Dowager stared at her for a moment, then nodded.

Wan Yu said: "When a person enters the prison, he will be tortured and tortured. The queen mother knows what he confessed a few days ago? The confession is written in black and white. The prince and his important officials secretly communicated and asked everyone With the help of the power in his hands, he is guaranteed to succeed to the throne as soon as possible. Isn't this provoking disobedience and forcing the emperor to abdicate as soon as possible? How can such an unfilial and unrighteous act be heard by the emperor?"

The queen mother was also shocked when she heard this.She had a mournful expression on her face, and shook her head in regret: "This child remembers how filial he was in the past. Shuyu passed away early, and the emperor gave him all his loving father's heart. Unexpectedly, he would do this Unsatisfied."

Wanyu suddenly got up, knelt down in front of the queen mother, sobbing: "Queen mother, the criminal officials dare not report this matter to the emperor, and neither do the concubines. It's just because the emperor is thinking about it, for fear that he will hear about it. Getting angry hurts the body. But Yinfeng's ambition is clearly revealed, and the emperor will not be kept in the dark for a long time. Now that people are outside the palace, the concubines can still stop people from reporting the matter to the emperor. But when the emperor returned to Luan in September, It seems that this matter cannot be concealed. I implore the queen mother to persuade the emperor from the side at that time, and don't let him hurt his soul and body too much."

The Empress Dowager helped her up with Wan Lai, her eyes were full of approval: "Ai Jia understands that you are the only one in the palace who misses the emperor the most, no wonder the emperor loves you the most. You don't need to talk about this matter, The Ai family will review this matter in private. If it is true, the Ai family will personally say to go with the emperor."

Her lips and teeth were trembling, and she wanted to cry: "Even if Yinreng is the grandson of the Ai family, even the emperor's son, if he is so unbearable, he will definitely not be able to succeed in the throne!"

Wan Yu respectfully bowed to the Queen Mother: "The concubine can't care about so many things. The prince's affairs are family affairs and state affairs, but they are arranged by the emperor and the queen mother. The concubine only hopes to serve the queen mother and the emperor for a long time. See you Seeing that you two are in good health and happiness is always there, I am more happy than anything else."

On September 51th of the [-]st year of Kangxi, the day the emperor returned to Beijing after his tour outside the Great Wall, he was called into the Ningshou Palace by the Empress Dowager Renxian.

At that time, the queen mother had already figured out the whole story of Yinreng's wolf ambition, and appealed the matter to the emperor.

After hearing this, the emperor had a headache, and he sighed repeatedly while holding his forehead.

The Empress Dowager also burst into tears, unable to restrain herself, and said: "The Ai family understands the emperor's suffering, why not the Ai family? In the past, you only said that it was Yinti who captivated Yinfeng's mind with the technique of suppressing victory. Now Yinti Being detained, he no longer has the ability to reach the sky. Everything that Yinfeng does is his own thoughts, and he can't blame others."

After leaving the Ningshou Palace, the emperor immediately summoned all the princes to enter the Qianqing Palace, and declared: "Emperor Crown Prince Yinfeng has not recovered from his madness since his restoration. , I will detain Yinfeng and guard it."

On the first day of October, the day after Yinfeng was detained, the emperor announced to the kings, Baylor, and ministers the reason for deposing Yinfeng again with the imperial pen and Zhu Shu: since the day of release, the surly heart has been revealed; for several years, The disease of madness has not been cured; he cannot tell right from wrong, and he loses people's hearts;

He even asked all the ministers: "Everyone should give up their minds, devote their hearts to the Lord, and share peace. If there is a petition to ask the crown prince to change his past and do good, and he should be released, I will punish him immediately."

On October 29, Tuo Heqi was sentenced to death by hanging instead of Ling Chi for the crime of disrupting the government. Soon after, he died of illness in prison.

On November 51th in the [-]st year of Kangxi, officials will be sent to sacrifice to heaven and earth, Taimiao, and Sheji about the abolition of the crown prince.

So far, Yinreng has no hope of inheriting the great unification.
