[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

Chapter 178 Buddhism is originally a pure place, and there is nothing to do to attract dust

In the 55th year of Kangping, the current Emperor Kangping abdicated and was passed down as the fourth son of the emperor. He was renamed Yonghe and was known as Emperor Yonghe in history.After Emperor Yonghe came to the throne, he honored Emperor Kangping as the Supreme Emperor, and the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager lived in the Huangji Palace. The rest of the concubines were called Taifei and Taifei.All adult princes are divided into mansions outside the palace, and their birth mothers live with them. Underage princes and princesses still live in the West Sixth Palace, and their birth mothers move to Qixiang Palace. After the princes reach adulthood, they will leave the palace with them. The rest of the childless concubines are the same Live in Qixiang Palace.

And the eighth son, who was once a popular candidate for the crown prince, was directly dismissed and banned by Emperor Kangping on the grounds that "the birth mother is humble, the blood is not right, unbearable and unworthy of the great position".The once famous Eight Sage Kings fell into the quagmire so completely, the palace that used to be full of visitors was suddenly empty and no one cared about it.When Concubine Wen heard such abhorrent and unbearable insults, she felt that because of her own background, her only son had been implicated. Not only did he suffer the ridicule of the world, but she was also so disgusted by Emperor Kangping.Concubine Wen can't wait to apologize immediately with death, so that Emperor Kang Ping will forget that she, a concubine of humble background, has somehow saved the situation of some eighth princes.It's just that the concubine's suicide is a major event that affects the family. Even if there is no one in Wen Fei's mother's family, she is worried that the eighth prince will be affected again, so she has to plan her death in such a way that people can't fault it.Even the matter of death cannot be freely decided, and it is necessary to make a detour, at least people can't say much on the surface, which is sad when you think about it.

So Concubine Wen soaked and bathed in ice water in the cold weather, and sat by the window overnight wearing a thin fur coat, her frail and sickly body instantly collapsed.Concubine Wen is still in the concubine position anyway, and the imperial physician will come to diagnose and treat people who are seriously ill, but everyone wants to hide away at this time, and the one who comes is naturally a young imperial physician who has just entered the imperial hospital and has no backing. The little imperial doctor dutifully prescribed the medicine, but it was a pity that Concubine Wen was determined to die, and she had already told the maid who was serving her close to her to boil the medicine and pour it out quietly, not to feed her the medicine, this was to prevent herself from being unconscious after being unconscious. Some of them were drugged and couldn't die smoothly.Sure enough, within five days, Concubine Wen couldn't stand it any longer. Before she left, she supported her sick body and wrote a sincere letter of apology, taking everything on herself. Prince's punishment.Concubine Wen's servant handed over the suicide note to Rui'an with tears in her eyes. When she returned to the palace, she slammed her head against a pillar to death and was buried with Concubine Wen.

Concubine Wen had no choice but to plead guilty with death for the emperor's disregard for the relationship between father and son, but Concubine Wen herself did not dare to have any rebellious thoughts and resentment. room for resistance.Hearing the death of his mother and concubine, the Eighth Prince, who was locked in the mansion and was not allowed to step out of the gate, finally reacted.Ever since he was relegated to the eighth prince, he has been world-weary and deaf to the outside world. If the eighth prince hadn't forced him to eat and drink, he might not be able to endure it long ago. Even Baochai was pregnant. However, the good news that the palace could finally have another son failed to arouse the Eighth Prince's mood.

At this time, the eighth prince concubine didn't have any thoughts of competing for favor and jealousy, she just wanted to find a way to let the eighth prince come out as soon as possible, don't give up on herself like this, and go through this difficulty first.The green hills left here are not afraid of lack of firewood. Although the overall situation has been determined, the winner will be the king and the loser, but after all, my master did not commit any treasonous and unscrupulous decapitation, but only provoked the disgust of the emperor.As long as my family is safe and sound in the future, I may be released by the new emperor someday. I don't want to restore the glory, I just want the family to live in peace.

Of course, the above is just the best plan, if my father really has good or bad, concubine Xue's birth will also leave an extra bloodline for him, no matter the man or woman, he can be a companion with his son and support each other a little bit.If Xue Baochai was pregnant when the eighth prince was proud, I am afraid that the eighth concubine would only try to stop Baochai from giving birth safely.But in the current situation, the Eighth Prince and Concubine had to let go of everything, and only wanted to live in peace.

Although Baochai felt sad and indignant that she became a prisoner before enjoying the good life for a few days, but the fact is a foregone conclusion. She cannot get rid of the grasshopper on a rope no matter what.Now that he is locked up in one place, he doesn't know how many years he will be locked up in the future. If he gets stuck, he is asking for trouble.So when the eighth prince was immersed in the fact that he didn't want to believe, the mansion was supported by the eighth concubine and Baochai. There are a few caring loyal servants left, who almost have to do the work of boiling water and cooking, and the pain is unspeakable.In just over a dozen days, the two of them developed some sympathy and sympathy for each other, and their relationship was more harmonious than ever.

The eighth prince spent several days in a daze, and when he heard that his mother and concubine had died of illness, the eighth prince was stunned for a moment, then he wanted to understand why the timing was so coincidental.Although the mother and concubine were in poor health due to hard work in the early years, she didn't want to go so soon, she was risking her life to protect him! The eighth prince shed tears of sorrow, gritted his teeth and sobbed and dared not cry out Come, the Eighth Imperial Concubine and Baochai outside the door also wept quietly.

The eighth prince who was imprisoned was not even allowed to attend Concubine Wen's funeral, so he could only quietly burn paper in the yard at night to pay his respects.But after that, the Eighth Prince managed to cheer up, and he was no longer as decadent as before. No matter how hard he worked, he had to persevere, and he couldn't live up to his mother's concubine's last wish to let him live well.The only thing that can comfort the Eighth Prince at this moment is that the concubine is pregnant, and the mansion is about to have another child, but in the current situation, I am afraid that they will suffer together after birth, so I will feel a little more pity.Therefore, although the situation was difficult, Baochai, who was pregnant, did not suffer too much. Of course, the food and clothing costs were definitely not as elaborate as before, but the portion given to her was also selected as much as possible.

There is a saying that once the emperor and the courtiers, some families are happy and others are sad.The lineage of the eighth princes is miserable, but it seems that the thirteenth princes who have been closely following Emperor Yonghe have become the hottest people in the capital. The younger brother and the old fourteen had to stay away.

In order to give the new emperor a chance to be kind, the Supreme Emperor did not seal him from the seventh to the next, and waited to leave it to the new emperor to win people's hearts.After the new emperor ascended the throne, he lived up to expectations and rewarded those who supported him one by one. As for the old nine, old ten, and old fourteen who were not easy to deal with before, they only got the title of county king and failed to rank among the princes. It's so sweet, "Jing", "Dun" and "Lu" are just short of warnings and disgust.Although the seventh and twelfth sons who are not prominent on weekdays are also county kings, their titles are nice. One Chun and one Kang are obviously more favored by the new emperor than the first three.Of course, the only one who was crowned a prince by the new emperor was Lao Shisan, and the title of "Prince Rui" alone could reflect Long En.

As for Lao Ba, the new emperor said that he would prepare for the enthronement ceremony, entrust the harem, and deal with the government affairs... He was too busy with things, so he put it aside with peace of mind.Besides, it wasn't long before the Supreme Emperor imprisoned him, if I let him go so soon, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the Supreme Emperor, and I'd better lock him up for a few years and wait until the Supreme Emperor's anger dissipates.The new emperor will not admit that he can't get used to the Eighth Prince's face that he always opposes him, and taunts him from time to time.

The new emperor is busy, his feet don't touch the ground, but he can still remember one thing Jiang Yingrong explained in his busy schedule, that is, the marriage between Yingchun and Tanchun, don't be too powerful and rich, after all, they are both Concubine, the Rongguo Mansion will inevitably end with a collapsed building, so it's better to find a low door that is safe and progressive.Even if her mother's family is overthrown in the future, with Jiang Yingrong's relationship, she probably wouldn't dare to have any thoughts.

Of course, Jiang Yingrong just mentioned this matter casually, saying that there are two earthly sisters who are about to reach the age of marriage. If the new emperor has suitable young talents under his command, he should keep them for his own people first. The new emperor will understand as soon as he hears it What kind of family should I find.So when meeting courtiers, especially when meeting old subordinates, one side is discussing state affairs, and the other side is also shown to the minister. , I always feel that there is something wrong with His Majesty's eyes looking at me, but I can't tell where it is wrong, so I can only report the matter concisely and slip away as soon as possible.

The emperor was worried about the protection of the media, so there was nothing wrong with it.Soon, the emperor picked out two good candidates from the hidden old subordinates, one general and one civil servant.That military general was an orphan. He was accidentally rescued by the new emperor, and then he followed the new emperor loyally. He arranged to hold an important position in the Imperial Guard, just waiting for his qualifications to command the Imperial Guard.

Wenchen is from a poor family, and his widowed mother earns a living by embroidery all the way to high school for Jinshi. Although his ranking is relatively low, it can't stand his young age. He was only seventeen when he was in high school.But because of no background relationship and young age, I have not been able to find a suitable position, so I was delayed.Others, even if they are a scholar, there are people who take the initiative to climb up, and if they win the Juren, they will get a lot of money, but he is the only one who doesn't know what's going on, all the Jinshi are won, and the family is still living in misery.Especially the widowed mother is getting older, because she used her eyes too much when she was young, and now her eyes are half-blind. Without the supplement of embroidery, the life at home is stretched.

Before the new emperor came to the throne, although he seldom wooed people on the surface, he secretly searched for potential but unobtrusive people in various ministries, and when he saw them encounter difficulties, he quietly wooed them.So this little unlucky guy who made life worse and worse was successfully rescued by the new emperor. He not only helped him find a doctor to treat his widowed mother's illness, but also arranged for him to be an inconspicuous child. From then on, the little unlucky guy became a A loyal fan of Cintiq.He wants to repay one or two, but he also has self-knowledge. Now he has nothing. In order to live up to the new emperor's support and support, Mou worked hard to do things for fear of embarrassing the new emperor. I didn't know that Xindi had such a small relationship with him.I don't know if it's extremely peaceful or not, but he has really done something famous, and now he is also a moderate official in the Ministry of Rites, and he can be regarded as valued by Shangguan.

However, this person has become enlightened about official affairs, but he still doesn't know anything about housework. Fortunately, there is only one old mother, two old servants and two maids in the family. It's a mess, but after all, the family is a little poorer, and needs a smart and capable woman who can take care of the housework to help manage the inner courtyard.

The military commander is naturally assigned to Yingchun. Although Yingchun is better than in the previous life, she is still a bit soft-tempered after all. Having no parents-in-law just prevents her from being wronged. Good wife.Besides, both of them have a bright future, and they are not afraid of a bad life.The only bad thing is that the man is seven or eight years older than the woman.
