The Ring of the Red Chamber and the Nine Heavens

The emperor's temper became more and more eccentric and irritable. I don't know if it has something to do with his consumption of golden elixir. The ban on ministers who were abolished in this dynasty has been lifted again. Every day, they are dragged down to the court for violating the power of heaven. Minister of the staff.And once again, Jin Yiwei ran rampant, detaining and interrogating ministers at will, making everyone in the court feel at risk, wishing to resign and go home, fearing that the head is still on the neck today, and it will not be safe tomorrow.

Qi Qian's life is of course difficult, but in this situation he can't say anything, let alone persuade, otherwise he will burn himself.

Fortunately, Jia Huan was in the Hanlin Academy, and the wind and rain in the court could not pour over his head for the time being.

Under the turmoil in the court, even Lin Ruhai couldn't bear it anymore, so he resigned on the pretext of illness.

In fact, there was another reason for Lin Ruhai's resignation. Mrs. Lin was pregnant with a child!

There is almost no difference in the time of pregnancy with Daiyu.

How could Mr. Lin, who was blessed with double happiness, not try to escape the storm for himself and future generations, but would rather become an official and raise his sons and grandchildren?

However, Lin Ruhai's resignation was not approved, and the emperor, considering his frail health, gave him special permission to recuperate for a while instead of going to court every day.

At the same time as the turmoil in the court, the suspicious emperor suspected that someone in his harem colluded with inside and outside to murder him, so he got the concubine he suspected and his maidservant to torture him. If more people come, those who are tied down will not be punished, so more people will be tied down.

After this big storm, the harem was almost bloodbathed. There were dozens of concubines who were given to death and strangled. There were always thousands of maids who were killed with sticks. It was really bloody. .

Half a year later, the emperor died, his death condition was extremely horrific, his face was covered with black air, even his lips were black and purple, his abdomen was swollen, and blood overflowed from his mouth and nose.

However, the imperial physicians all knew that the emperor was definitely not poisoned and murdered by others, but really poisoned by the elixir, which ruined his body.

Before his death, the emperor issued an imperial decree, ordering all the concubines who had served him, whether they had children or not, to be buried.

Being an emperor in this life is not enjoyable, and I have not enjoyed enough blessings. In the next life, I will continue to work hard. During the transition between life and death, there must be no one to serve me. Therefore, the three thousand beauties in the harem must go to the underworld together, and then serve the emperor.This is the small abacus contained in the emperor's will.

The most ruthless imperial family.

The most important thing is in the imperial palace.

Recalling that people were more charming than flowers yesterday.

Crying that life today is cheaper than grass.

Even Concubine Hui was not spared, and after a lot of crying, she finally went to death helplessly.

The heir emperor Qi Qian ascended the throne as emperor, and made his eldest son Qi Bin the crown prince one month later, and changed his year name to "Hezheng".

Immediately afterwards, Lin Ruhai, who was originally the second-rank minister of rites, was promoted to be the first-rank prince and grand teacher, and a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Jia Huan, the former minister of the fifth-rank Hanlin Academy, was promoted again, and was specially awarded the third-rank Hanlin attendant, Zhi Zhigao, and Zhan Shi, the governor of Zhan Shifu. He could come and go to the East Palace at will to teach the one-year-old prince.

The new emperor is in power, and there are so many things going on, it's hard to repeat them one by one. Qi Qian reads the memorials every day until late at night. Fortunately, there are confidantes who add fragrance and give advice, so he doesn't feel bitter.

However, when the news reached the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager couldn't help frowning deeply.

After pondering for a long time, the Empress Dowager decided not to confront the emperor head-on, but to test it out first.

On this day, Qi Qian and Jia Huan watched the memorial together until late at night, and Qi Qian ordered dinner after reading the last memorial.

All of a sudden, the servants came in one after another with large gilded tea trays, and advanced to present tea soup and various snacks for the emperor to enjoy.Then there were servants and others setting up the dinner, which fully filled four long tables. Afterwards, the maids played music according to the ancient Yuefu, and the servants knelt down to invite the emperor to have a meal.

None of the servants dared to raise their heads, because at this time the emperor sitting facing south was sitting next to Mrs. Jia.Next to the emperor, there were a few small yellow gates with gold and ivory inlaid to help the emperor serve dishes, and the emperor helped Mr. Jia serve dishes...

Say no evil, see no evil, hear no evil...

The servants also heard Mrs. Jia laughing: "Why are there so many vegetables? Drought in the north, locusts in the south, earthworms in the southwest, hungry people everywhere, yet we are so extravagant?"

Qi Qian asked the chief eunuch beside him: "How much money will this meal cost?"

The eunuch replied respectfully: "Go back to the emperor. It is a rule in the palace that the imperial food is provided at 36 taels a day. The dinner meal accounts for about 18% of it, which is about [-] taels of silver."

Jia Huan said: "20 taels of silver is enough for an ordinary farmer to live for a year. Your majesty, this dinner of yours has eaten up their year's ration."

Don't say it, I don't think so, at this time Qi Qian thought of the disaster reports from all over the country, and then looked at the delicacies in front of him, and suddenly felt a little dazzling.

Qi Qian immediately issued an edict that from now on the emperor's imperial food will be provided at two taels of silver per day, and the concubines in the palace should also reduce or exempt their allowances and practice strict economy.

After eating for a while, Jia Huan said that he was going out of the palace, and Qi Qian was reluctant to part with him. Jia Huan said: "You are now the new emperor, and it is just when you are walking on thin ice. I am neither an internal servant (eunuch) nor an external servant (guard). Can you stay in the palace? It's arousing criticism and causing trouble."

Qi Qian couldn't keep him, so he had to let him go, and after reading the memorial for a while under the lamp, he felt a little headache, so he called the little servant to rub the temple, and ordered the eunuch in charge to read the memorial at the side. I fell asleep without realizing it.

The servants quietly told the sleeping emperor to move onto the bed before coming out one by one, and extinguished the lights in the hall one by one, leaving only one corner in the room.

The emperor's private affairs were not dared to discuss privately, they only communicated with each other with eyes, and everyone knew it well.

I don't know how long it took, when I suddenly heard a noisy voice coming from the front, the eunuch in charge hurried over to take a look, but it was the female Shi who was next to the Empress Dowager, accompanied by a woman in a veiled hat, saying that it was the Empress Dowager Feng According to Yizhi's decree, the woman was sent to serve the emperor's bed.

The eunuch hurriedly persuaded: "The emperor just went to bed, and this time may...not be that interested. You two should go back."

The woman pulled down the hood on her head, revealing a delicate face like a crescent moon.The female historian said: "Naturally beautiful, it is hard to give up. Such a delicate woman, the emperor will definitely like it, why is she not interested? Don't stop me."

The big eunuch still stopped in front and said: "No, without the emperor's decree, the little ones dare not let anyone in."

The female historian said: "It was bestowed by the Empress Dowager herself. As the saying goes, it is bestowed by the elders and cannot be resigned. The emperor can't live up to the empress dowager's kindness. Get out of the way quickly, or the empress dowager will blame you, and you will not be able to eat the same." Walk around."

The eunuch had to let go.

As a result, the emperor was disturbed while he was in a drowsy sleep, and in a fit of rage, he drew his sword and killed the woman, and at the same time beat all the servants on duty that day to [-] sticks.

The empress dowager was shocked when she heard the news.

On this day, the new emperor Qi Qian brought the crown prince to pay respects to the empress dowager, and pleaded guilty by saying that he accidentally killed the beauty given by the emperor's mother the day before yesterday, and that he took away the kindness of the emperor's grandmother.

The empress dowager's face was frosty, and she didn't go around in circles, she said straightforwardly: "Did you do it on purpose?"

Qi Qian said: "The imperial grandmother must think so, and the grandson has nothing to say."

The Empress Dowager said angrily: "I told you to make a queen. You said that you missed your dead wife and you will no longer have a queen in this life. There is a precedent set by your father. It is not easy for the Ai family to say anything, so that's all; then you just follow The rules in the palace summon the harem concubines to sleep, and you can make those green cards covered with dust; the Ai family finally found a woman with both talents and looks to serve you, and you can give her to you by mistake. Kill it! Are you trying to make a warning to others, or to shake the mountain and shake the tiger, and you deliberately did it for the Ai family to see?"

Qi Qian said: "The grandson dare not, the grandson came here because he was busy with political affairs, and secondly, he should keep his filial piety for his father, so he doesn't want to get close to women in the near future."

The Empress Dowager said: "Your Majesty, the Ai family shouldn't interfere with your inner palace affairs, but you should do it properly! Although you should keep your filial piety for your father, as an emperor, you should do your best for the royal family." Ye Ye is very important, but don't stick to those. We can draft without much fanfare. Aijia will find a few women with both talents and looks for you in private. Once the father's filial piety period is over, it will not be too late to promote them."

Qi Qian thought to himself that he was wronged and wronged when he was a prince in the past, but now that he is an emperor, can't he fight for the person he likes?Do you want to get some unsightly people to make him unhappy?

Qi Qian turned the teacup in his hand, said with a slight smile, "Grandmother, let me tell you the truth, my grandson already has someone he likes, and I only want to be with him in this life, and I don't want anyone else to mix it up." Come in."

The Empress Dowager guessed that the man held a heavy weight in his heart, but she didn't expect it to be so heavy, so she said with a downcast face: "Don't say he is a man, even a woman can't dominate the harem like this, No one else is allowed to go to bed!"

Qi Qian said calmly: "Grandmother, you are a person who eats fast and recites Buddhism. You are the most ascetic. Today, you don't care about your grandson's bed! Or who is blowing something in your ear? "As he said, Qi Qian's voice suddenly became harsher, and said: "I would like to know who is so bold! In the past, the father could wash the harem with blood, and I don't mind doing it again!"

The empress dowager stopped immediately, and said angrily: "You can do it, abolish the harem for a man! Don't be afraid to spread the word and tell the gang at Yushitai to make a lot of money every day, and you will drown your precious baby with a mouthful of saliva. pimple!"

Qi Qian looked at the Empress Dowager, and said slowly: "Grandmother already knows who he is?"

The Empress Dowager snorted, and said: "Don't think I'm stupid. Although I live in this Palace of Compassion and Peace, my mind and spirit are always watching over you and Bin'er. In the past, he healed Yuan'er, and later cured Bin'er, I have issued a decree to reward him with a three-foot white silk."

Qi Qian looked at the Empress Dowager seriously and said, "Three feet is not enough, six feet is enough."

The Empress Dowager was so angry that she slapped the table and cursed angrily.

Qi Qian knew very well that what he just said was rebellious. As the saying goes, "Parents are here, don't talk about old age." Keeping silent, he let the empress dowager scold him furiously, and only showed his resolute eyes that what he said was not just a whim.

The Empress Dowager finally cried and said: "How can you be like this, it wasted my whole life of Yi Xuanxuan!"

Qi Qian knew that persuasion was useless, so he might as well bring Bin'er here. With this little guy twisting around his upper body, no matter how big the old woman's grievances were, the old woman's grievances could be almost dissipated.

Sure enough, as soon as Qi Bin came, he babbled and acted like a baby, and the tense situation disappeared by more than half. The grandparents and grandchildren teased the young children together, and they became more harmonious without knowing it.

Qi Qian took advantage of the situation and said: "Grandmother, why do you always feel that you are at a disadvantage, and you don't think that he has suffered even more! At least I still have such a good boy as Bin'er, but he has always been only me. He can't have his own child anymore, fortunately he has no fetters in his heart, he just treats Bin'er wholeheartedly, not only healed Bin'er's eyes, but also taught Bin'er to be so smart. If I don't want such a person, If I treat it wholeheartedly, am I still a human being? To tell you the truth, he is like the sun and the light to me. Can a person live without the sun and light? Even if he can live, live Can it be fun? So, Grandmother, please allow me to let my grandson be self-willed this time!"

The Empress Dowager had tears in her eyes, but in the end she compromised, saying: "Forget it, your children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and you don't have to listen to what my old woman says. Alas, you don't have a few years to live anyway, so why bother to please others?" Disgusted!"

Qi Qian knelt down and thanked the emperor's grandmother.

From this day on, Qi Qian finally fulfilled his wish of "lying mandarin ducks under the tent of lotus", and stayed and flew together with his beloved Huan'er in the inner palace of the palace.
