The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 165 The Forbidden City

"Husband and wife share troubles, but they cannot share wealth. Even if he relies on the death of a woman and the lack of her beauty to wear his official hat firmly and hold his official seal tightly, he is nothing but a cowardly and foolish man. The court wife is marrying someone who can take pity on me and protect me, and entrust her to her for the rest of her life."

"If the emperor really wants him to rely on his courtier's wife to be prosperous and wealthy for a lifetime, the courtier's wife will disdain it, and my husband, Jun Hengchen, will also disdain it."

"If you insist on doing it, first order him to divorce his wife, or let the two of us reconcile."

"Your wife, never make wedding clothes for others."

"If my husband accepts this high-ranking official and generous salary calmly, then the minister's wife... just don't fall in love with her."

After finishing speaking, she possessed herself and kowtowed again, then straightened her back, and said nothing more.

Kangxi is well versed in the emperor's mind, why doesn't the emperor understand after so many years?This is the first time I have seen such a resolute woman.

He sneered: "How do you know that your husband will definitely choose you between glory and wealth?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Xuan Zhang Tingyu."

The eunuchs went out to communicate, but Zhang Tingyu outside had already heard it, but he waited for the eunuchs to arrive before he dared to go inside.

He came to the left, and only knelt down beside Gu Huaishu, "Minister Zhang Tingyu kowtows to the emperor."

"Did you hear what your wife and I said just now?" Kangxi threw the book in his hand on the desk, and then said, "Divorce her, or get divorced, or you can scratch her beautiful face yourself, and I will give you a beautiful face." May you be under one person and above ten thousand people, once you are the prime minister, your descendants will be prosperous."

What an attractive condition?
This is Zhang Tingyu's long-cherished wish in his life. He is rich and powerful above ten thousand people and holds great power. No one dares to take the lead.

Ask yourself, is Zhang Tingyu tempted?
Selfishly speaking, he was tempted and had to be tempted.

But he said calmly, "Forgive me, it's hard to follow my orders."

Kangxi laughed out loud at once, and he didn't know why he was laughing.

Standing up, he took a copy of "Drinking Water Collection" by Nalan Rongruo from the desk, flipping through it, Kangxi just tapped his palm, looked at Zhang Tingyu and said: "You are selfish, eloquent, selfish, taciturn... I really want to cut off her tongue, and then take your head."

But Kangxi can't.

He stood by the window and looked at the sky outside.

Is it not the king's land in the whole world, and the king's subjects on the shore of the land, he can crush countless people to death with a light grip of his hand.

But today, there was a thug who dared to challenge Kangxi, reasoning with him, talking about false reasoning...

Kangxi raised his hand and pressed the center of his brow, thinking of the prince...

His queen passed away, leaving him only such a prince.

As the most honorable couple in the whole world, Kangxi got along the most with the first empress, and also missed the deceased the most, but the current prince...

Kangxi clenched his hands tightly, his back was already showing an old look.

He looked back at Gu Huaixiu, he was still so beautiful.

But this woman is Zhang Tingyu's Gu Huaishu.

"Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. Let's learn a lesson."

Kangxi finally came to his senses and got out of the relationship between husband and wife. He glanced at the dagger, saw that Zhang Tingyu was about to speak, but said: "Master Zhang, if you dare to plead a word for her, I will have someone arrest her." Push out the Meridian Gate, beheaded for public display."

The Royal Heavenly Power cannot be violated, this is the iron law.

Gu Huaixiu was unlucky, really unlucky.

But not killing her, or even destroying her face, is already an extrajudicial favor from the emperor.

He is the son of heaven, and he can kill people by opening his mouth. If it weren't for the fact that the Zhang family had devoted themselves to the court for decades, and the matter between the prince and Zhang Tingzan, he would have killed him when Gu Huaixiu uttered so many words. The Nine Clans are wiped out!

"It is important to know that the nobles of the Tian Family cannot be damaged by your reckless actions. The right hand..."

Gu Huaishu was stunned for a while before he realized what was going on.

After all, she was too frivolous.

She held the knife in her left hand, curved her lips and smiled, the sharp light of the knife almost hurt her eyes, she didn't look back at Zhang Tingyu, she just slammed the knife towards the palm of her right hand with no expression on her face!

Bleeding!
She was in so much pain that she could hardly hold the dagger, looked at a drop of blood falling from the tip of the knife, raised her eyes palely, and looked at Kangxi: "My wife thanked the emperor for not killing me."

"I give you a deer bone dagger. You have a heart like a snake and a scorpion. You have to reflect on it every day. Step back."

Kangxi was unmoved, although he watched Gu Huaishu's head covered in cold sweat from the pain, he also dealt a ruthless hand, the wound was deep and bleeding, but the emperor was ruthless.

Zhang Tingyu knelt there stiffly, tightened his fingers, lowered his eyes, and it took a lot of effort to restrain himself from looking back at her.

Gu Huaishu didn't dare to cover the wound, only the palm of one hand was bleeding, and the other hand also came up, holding the bloody dagger in both hands, bowed down again, and finally got up to leave.

She withdrew step by step, a little shaky.

Blood fell on the road drop by drop, which was shocking.

The news of her entering the palace had already been spread, otherwise Zhang Tingyu would not have arrived at the critical moment.

Thinking about it, Gu Huaixiu felt dizzy in front of his eyes, and walked forward step by step with some difficulty, but was suddenly stopped by someone: "Second Madam Zhang, come this way."

The eunuchs changed somehow, and the eunuch who spoke to her looked familiar.

Gu Huaishu didn't even have time to think about it, he raised his eyes and saw Sibeile Yinzhen standing in the narrow and secluded palace road.

Walking all the way, the wound on her hand has been blocked by the eunuch with a veil. Blood stained most of her sleeves red, and the other side was stained with tea, and she was extremely embarrassed.

Standing against the wall, Yinzhen looked at her in a state of distress, and only ordered: "Xiao Shengzi give her medicine."

Xiao Shengzi immediately poured the wound medicine that had been prepared to Gu Huaishu on the long wound in his palm, but Xiao Shengzi had seen many wounds, even his own father had times that were scarier than this, But today, for some reason, my hands were shaking non-stop, and the best wound medicine was spilled all over the floor.

Yinzhen was upset watching: "Gao Wuyong, you go."

An eunuch on the other side looked a little embarrassed, looked at Xiao Shengzi's trembling hand, and bravely went to pick it up, only to see that the wound on Gu Huaishu's hand was almost bone-deep, and his hand also trembled. The blood has already stained the ground, and it is frightening to see.

Yinzhen watched the two capable eunuchs beside him become clumsy for a while, and saw Gu Huaishu's expressionless, non-expressive expression, showing a kind of numbness.

He walked over and kicked Gao Wuyong away: "Useless slave, get lost."

As he said that, he grabbed the big bottle of golden sore medicine, and poured it into Gu Huaisu's palm like he didn't want money: "It's not poisonous, Sun Zhiding's prescription from Taiyuan Hospital, I think you can't get rid of it with your hand."

"Fourth master has really wide eyes."

Gu Huaishou's fingers were trembling, and her entire palm was so painful that she almost lost consciousness. She was enjoying the treatment of Tianhuang's nobles applying medicine and bandaging, but she didn't have the slightest joy or fear, just calm.

"You should say Mr. Zhang is quite capable..." At such a time, Yinzhen did not forget to sow discord, "The old thirteen plotted against you, and he plotted with Zhang Tingyu. If something happened to you, Zhang Tingyu would not be able to bear it. It is most appropriate for him to sue the crown prince. A concubine Yi came in inexplicably, you don't know the reason, so you don't know how scheming your Second Master Zhang is..."

This was the first time I heard Yinzhen say so many words.

This master cherishes words like gold even more than Zhang Tingyu.

He prefers to write rather than speak.

Yinzhen didn't hear Gu Huaixiu's answer, so he tied the silk handkerchief hard, causing Gu Huaixiu to frowned fiercely in pain.

Anyway, the bleeding stopped.

Yinzhen said: "I'm afraid that as soon as he knew Zhu Jiangxin's whereabouts and the whereabouts of the crown prince, he already knew about the situation and was worried about you, so he immediately went to find Concubine Yi, and that's how things happened today. So Ah, according to the master's intention, it is better to let your master Zhang take refuge in the master, so as to avoid the two parties' calculations, calculations, and accidental injury..."

"You mean, this time, it was Yifei who stabbed it out?"

Gu Huaixiu thought about it, this is indeed the most likely.

"Concubine Yi is Lao Jiu's mother-in-law. Lao Jiu and Lao Ba are getting close. Now Lao Ba is in the limelight. Once the crown prince falls, it may be his turn."

It's all just to make the prince more guilty.

Why is Yinzhen not clear?
This time it really wasn't his fault.

He took a step back, clapped his hands, handed the medicine bottle to Su Peisheng, took the handkerchief from Gao Wuyong, slowly wiped off the blood on his hands, and then handed it back.

Gu Huaishu's gaze fell on Yinzhen's still wrapped hand, which was pulled out by the reins.

She suddenly smiled mockingly: "I thought you were not favored, but it seems that my wife is wrong. My wife is frivolous, so I have the disaster of today."

Yinzhen frowned, his eyelids raised and jumped again, as if he was thinking about something, and also seemed to be shocked by Gu Huaishu's words.

she means...

"Self-motivated."

Gu Huaishu sneered, "In the eyes of the emperor, there is only the majesty of the Tian family."

Yinzhen just thought deeply and didn't speak.

Gu Huaixiu asked: "Since I met you today, why don't you take advantage of this time to explain clearly. I, Gu San, your servant; Zhang Tingyu, have nothing to do with you."

Gao Wuyong on the side looked at Gu Huaixiu's shoulders slightly shrunk, noticed her clothes wet from the bowl of tea thrown by the emperor before, squinted at his father slightly, and saw Yinzhen gesturing to him, as if even Those who snatched were unwilling to move, although they were silent in their hearts, they still put the cloak on Gu Huaishou carefully in their hands.

Gu Huaishu glanced at it, but raised his hand to tear it off, threw it on the ground, stepped on it with one foot, looked at the cloak under his feet for a long time, and said, "Fourth Master, what do you think?"

A flash of hostility flashed across Yinzhen's eyes, this woman doesn't know what it means to be shameless, is she just like this?

His Yinzhen's good intentions are worth every cent, but this woman dares to trample on them.

He thought, if he had a cup of tea in his hand, he would throw it away to Gu San right now.

Unfortunately, no.

Yinzhen said: "You are my master's servant, Zhang Tingyu is naturally used by me."

"Okay, then take it as your promise."

Gu Huaishu bent his lips, and said, "I have done so many things for you, but you have never given me any favors..."

Yinzhen said: "Do you want to raise the flag for your naturalization?"

Not everyone is qualified to be a servant of princes.

This is an honor.

It's a pity that Gu Huaishu didn't want this.

She clenched her fingers slightly, and said softly: "I want the crown prince to die, and Lin Jiashi to die."

The word "death" is too light to say.

Gao Wuyong and Su Peisheng were scared out of their wits, and even Yinzhen was almost frightened by her.

He gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Forbidden in the palace, don't talk nonsense!"

Gu Huaixiu didn't care: "Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart. Tell me or not, what will happen to me? I even scolded your emperor Ama, and cursed a prince who wants to insult me, what's the point?"

"You are barefoot and you are not afraid of wearing shoes. My master is a family man, so I can't mess around with you."

Yinzhen spoke in a high-sounding manner, but he was really moved by what Gu Huaishu said just now.

Telling nonsense with eyes open is a must-have skill for all princes, and Yinzhen is just a master of it.

Gu Huaishu said: "The prince will die sooner or later, what I'm thinking about now... is how to kill the other dog you raised first."

Brother Si's other dog...

When Yinzhen heard this, he said, "You're scolding yourself."

"Aren't I just a dog raised by Fourth Master?" Gu Huaishu didn't feel that she was insulting herself at all, she said, "What's the difference between a human and a dog? You see me as a dog, and I see you as nothing more than a dog." Poor dog. In the eyes of people, people are not people, but all kinds of animals. Human nature and animal nature, you know?"

"..."

Yinzhen was silent for a while.

"Do you talk like this in front of Huang Ama?"

Gu Huaishu said: "Don't dare."

If she said "You are a dog" to Kangxi, she would probably be decapitated by now.

Thinking that if he knelt on the guillotine and was beheaded by the executioner, the scene would be funny.

Thinking about it, Gu Huaixiu laughed.

"Fortunately, you are not the emperor now. If you become the Ninth Five-Year Lord one day, how can the servant take back what you said today? Or you should stop being the emperor..."

Yin Zhen was really laughed at by Gu Huaixiu: "My lord is not the emperor, do you still think that the crown prince and that Lin Jia family can die or not?"

Although Lin Jiashi is Yinzhen's marionette, it is not so easy to kill her.

Yuqing Palace is in the palace, it is not the same as they usually came out to ennoble and build a mansion.

"Then you should be the emperor. Before you kill the servant, kill her first. I can't tolerate her..." Gu Huaishu said again, "The sooner she dies, the better."

Actually, even if Gu Huaixiu didn't say anything, Yin Zhen wouldn't let her stay for too long.

Regarding Zhang Tingzan's case, Lin Jiashi must have a ghost.

She played tricks on both sides, probably because she told the crown prince about Zhang Tingzan taking Suo'etu's secret letter, and that's when something happened.While relying on herself, this woman was reluctant to part with the glory and wealth of the prince. She didn't dare to let the prince fall, and she didn't dare to let the person who held her handle find out, so she was fooling around.

Yinzhen is not the kind of person who will be fooled at will, but although the double blade may hurt himself, Yinzhen has no choice.

Lin Jia's has ghosts and ghosts, and it can still be used, but it should be used sparingly.

He couldn't promise anything to Gu Huaishu, he just said: "If the crown prince doesn't fall, how will Lin Jiashi die? Killing someone with a borrowed knife... Not enough... If you want to do it, just uproot it."

Yinzhen smiled, and suddenly said: "You don't need to worry about Lin Jiashi's affairs. When the day you kill her, I will definitely ask you to come and see her."

Gu Huaishu looked at him, as if he was thinking about the truth of what he said.

"Fourth master is not someone who makes money-losing business."

There was a string of Buddhist beads hanging on Yinzhen's wrist, but at this time he took it off and tapped it into his palm, walked a few steps in this deserted palace road, pinched the beads tightly with his fingers, and said: "It's almost this year! All provinces and township examinations have sent chief examiners, let Zhang Tingyu recommend Nian Gengyao, and don't need him to take care of the rest."

Nian Gengyao?
Yes……

This one is his important minister, but he hasn't emerged yet.

Next year will be the year of the examination, and it would be most suitable for Nian Gengyao to seek employment in the Imperial Academy, and to be sent out to serve as a scholar or an examiner.

Countless old Hanlin gentlemen in the Hanlin Academy are there for the purpose of being released, or entering the court as officials, and making a smooth career.

After hearing this, she only said: "The slave you recruited is a useless slave. The minister's wife is only responsible for talking, not for the consequences."

"It's okay, you Gu San... With such a mouth, it's enough to do things for the master." Yinzhen solved a difficult matter with ease, and seemed to be in a good mood, turning around, "I look at you now like an obedient Pug, at least he has recognized who is the master, so he won't bite the master back."

"That's because the slaves have been bitten too much by the dogs of the master Aixinjueluo's family, so we can only rely on the one who bites the slaves less."

Swearing without swearing?

dream.

Are words dirty?

Gu Huaishu didn't know.

Anyway, she just scolded Yinzhen, helping and scolding at the same time, she would not be happy if she didn't scold.

Yinzhen was scolded for no reason, his lips were pursed into a line, and he only said: "When the master has used you, when he becomes a treasure one day, someone will cut you first."

"Then you have to grab the throne."

Gu Huaishu hit him as soon as he opened his mouth. Everyone has ambitions, but not many people died.

After saying this sentence, Yinzhen was finally stunned by her.

Looking back, Zhang Tingyu had been led by a young eunuch, and he stopped at the end of the palace road, waiting for her to come out.

Gu Huaishu bowed to Yinzhen, "Lin Jiashi, I'll wait for three years."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and strode towards Zhang Tingyu who was waiting for her. Her steps were fast but steady.

Zhang Tingyu stretched out his hand, took her hand, didn't look at the fourth elder brother inside, just clenched her hand tightly, without saying a word, walked all the way along the long red wall palace road, passed the five palace gates, and left. Palace to go.

Gu Huaishu felt that he was unusually silent, but his palms were slightly sweaty.

The two of them left the Forbidden City holding hands all the way. When they passed the heavy last gate, it was just the setting sun, the setting sun was full of clouds and the sky, and the weather was magnificent.

The twilight covered the earth, and the shadows of the two were stretched long by the setting sun, overlapping each other.

Zhang Tingyu stopped slowly, as if his whole body was full of wind and frost, he just turned around like that, looking up at the tall Forbidden City, the shadow was heavy.

He remembered the day when he was the number one scholar in high school, and when he came out of the main entrance and looked back, it seemed that he was also under such a heavy shadow.

The sky, clouds and shadows all fell into Zhang Tingyu's eyes. At that moment, the look in his eyes was so bright that Gu Huaishu couldn't tell the difference.

It wasn't until more than twenty years later that she and Zhang Tingyu, both with frosty temples, walked out of the gate of the Forbidden City step by step together, and when they looked back again, did they know... what is the brilliance in Zhang Tingyu's eyes at this moment? What decision was made.
