The Queen of Qing Dynasty is beautiful and kind

Chapter 233 Gu Zheng returns to Beijing
At the end of the first month.

Suo'etu and Gu Zheng were about to return to Beijing.At a great court meeting, the prince spoke to Lord Kangxi and mentioned an incident many years ago.

At the Great Court Meeting.After half a morning's debate, some big things in Kangxi's early 31st year were finally finalized better.Everyone was a little tired, they all looked at each other, and then looked at Lord Kangxi who was at the top.

At this time, if Lord Kangxi has nothing else to do, they can go back to rest.

The whole morning's discussion made my mouth dry and my brain hurt a little.

Yinzhen also looked up at Lord Kangxi.

Lord Kangxi himself was a little tired, resisting the thought of yawning, and looked at the ministers below.

"Do you still have this performance, gentlemen?" Lord Kangxi raised his voice, but he could not hear the slightest tiredness.

Everyone looked at each other in private, but no one stepped forward.

Looking at the situation, it is logical that the Great Court will come to an end here.

however…

At this moment, the prince suddenly stood up.

"My minister has a play. It's about Gu Zheng." As soon as the prince said this, the courtiers looked at the prince one after another.Especially Yinzhen frowned.

Regarding the matter of Gu Zheng's return to Beijing, all the ministers have discussed it just now.

Last time, when Prince Yu Fuquan and Fei Yanggu returned to Beijing triumphantly, they sat on horseback and were welcomed by the people.But later, Fei Yanggu had an accident on the way back to Beijing because of his injuries on the battlefield.

There is always a hurdle in this matter.

Although this time is also worth celebrating, Lord Kangxi is unwilling to do the same thing as last time.

Although... this time it was not a war, and no one was injured.

The courtiers did not have much different opinions on this matter.It is only said that Suo'etu and Gu Zheng have made great contributions, and they should be rewarded according to the law.

No matter what, throw a banquet to celebrate.

For this matter, Lord Kangxi naturally took advantage of the trend.Since some rewards and promotions for Suo'etu and Gu Zheng had been finalized years ago, there was nothing to discuss.

"Yinfeng, do you have anything else to add?"

Lord Kangxi looked at his outstanding son, but his attitude was very kind and patient.

"In the early years, Gu Zheng was demoted from his official position because of a negligence in receiving foreigners. Does Huang Ama still remember this matter?"

Yinfeng arched his hands, also respectfully.

"I remember." Lord Kangxi said: "The foreign minister suffered from severe diarrhea because of eating something by mistake, and almost died. You are still in charge of investigating and handling this matter."

"At that time, Gu Zheng was also demoted because he was the Minister of Honglu Temple and had to bear the primary responsibility. Is there any problem with this matter?"

Yinfeng shook his head and said, "It's not that there's a problem with this matter. It's just that...after Gu Zheng was demoted, his eldest daughter entered the palace and became a court lady."

There are always drafts for the Eight Banners.

The daughters of officials and family members mostly run for the three-year show girl.Those who are of the right age and within the scope, regardless of appearance or temperament, are required to participate in the election.

As for the selection of court ladies, the scope is actually wider.The daughters of some petty officials who are not qualified to draft women will send their daughters to the palace to be palace maids.

There are many court ladies who were born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Most of these are also from the poor family.After all... the quality of a court lady who can enter the Forbidden City to serve the ladies cannot be low.

"Gu Zheng's daughter also entered the palace as a maid?"

Lord Kangxi naturally didn't know much about these things.Hearing this, he frowned quite a bit.

That's really bad.

Gu Zheng is now an official of the third rank, and he can be regarded as an upstart.If her daughter is now in the Huanyi Bureau or other hard-working places, it is really not good.

The imperial court should also treat the family members of these meritorious ministers kindly.

"Exactly."

Yinfeng said: "When I found out about this, I immediately ordered people to inquire. It was only later that I found out that after Gu Zheng's daughter entered the palace, she went to Chengqian Palace."

Chengqian Palace was the former residence of Empress Xiaoyi.

After the death of Empress Xiaoyi, many maids who were in Chengqian Palace at the beginning have also been divided into various palaces.

Some young people, because they are not mature enough, and the palaces are not short of people, so naturally they don't want them.Waiting for their ending will probably not be too good.

Lord Kangxi knew this very well, and his heart sank unavoidably.

"Where is she now?"

When Lord Kangxi asked such a question, the corner of the prince's mouth twitched.

"At Erchen's place."

however…

Before the crown prince could answer, Yinzhen stood up and said to Lord Kangxi, "Ms. Gu was chosen by Aunt Yuehua to stay in Chengqian Palace to learn the rules."

"Later, after the emperor's mother passed away, and my minister opened his teeth and built a mansion, a group of court ladies personally selected by Aunt Yuehua followed my son out of the palace and arrived at the fourth elder brother's mansion."

"Gu's is also one of them. Now, he is in the residence of the minister."

"It was so."

After hearing the whole story, Lord Kangxi felt a little relieved.Can be picked by Yuehua, and follow Yinzhen's side.That also means that this is a good girl.

In the palace for these years, he didn't suffer too much.

After all, it is Gu Zheng's daughter, so it seems that life is still passable.

"My son thinks it's wrong."

The crown prince spoke again, and taking advantage of Lord Kangxi's peace of mind, he continued: "Gu Zheng is also a member of the imperial court now. It is really inappropriate for his daughter to be a servant girl in the fourth younger brother's house."

"There have always been rules in the palace. When the maids reach the age of 25, they can be released for palace marriage. However, whether the maids who follow the elder brothers out of the palace can leave depends entirely on the wishes of the masters."

"My son knows that this Miss Gu has a poor background. Now that Gu Zheng has made meritorious service for the court, I want to ask for a favor for her."

Lord Kangxi raised his eyebrows, looked at the prince, and asked, "What grace?"

"Let her go home early."

The prince spoke righteously and explained: "If it's an ordinary girl's family, it's fine. In the future, the fourth brother will see that when he reaches his age, he can be married when he is put back at home."

"But Miss Gu is from a good background, and Ama is the Minister of Taichang Temple. There will be many places where she will serve the court in the future, so she will serve the fourth brother like this. Even if she returns to the mansion in the future, I'm afraid..."

She used to be a servant girl and served the elder brother Huang.

Speaking out, it's really not a very good reputation.

As for the daughter of a court official, this is too wronged.

The prince was "grateful" for this matter, so he naturally wanted to help Gu Qinghuan to ask for a favor.If she can go home and get a marriage gift from Lord Kangxi in the future, she will naturally live in peace and stability in the future.

"This is indeed the case."

on the side...

The officials who were listening to these gossips echoed this sentence without knowing who it was.

Immediately, some people came back to their senses and expressed their agreement.

The prince's request is understandable and considerate.
