Qing Dynasty Crossover

Chapter 588 No Tranquility
In Qinzheng Hall, only the heavy breathing of the emperor and empress could be heard, and suddenly the clock chimed to tell the time, 'Dang, Dang, Dang. ’ The small opening on the top opened, and a cuckoo bird with wooden patterns flew out of it, matching the sound of the bell, ‘Cuckoo, cuckoo. ' tweeted a few times.

Qi Luo leaned against Yinzhen's arms, panted heavily, calmed down for a while, raised his head to look at Yinzhen, caught the flash of affection in his eyes, and said fiercely, "Your Majesty, if you let me know You take the elixir, I will... I will"

Li Dequan's voice came from outside the main hall, "Qi Zou the emperor, Zhang Zhongtang has something important to report."

"How about you?" Yinzhen didn't pay attention, and looked at Qi Luo's red and swollen eyes from crying with some distress. Although he was pretending to be fierce and domineering, there was a little charm in his pink cheeks, and he wanted to hug her again , but was dodged by Qi Luo, walked quickly to the door of the main hall, tried hard to open his sour eyes, looked back with a smile, and stomped his feet, "I will never pay attention to you."

With a creak, he pushed open the door of the palace, and Qi Luo walked out quickly. At this time, Zhang Tingyu was waiting outside the palace. He had something important to report to Yongzheng. When he saw the queen coming out, he quickly bowed his head to pay his respects, as if Qi Luo was not there. .Hearing Yinzhen's summons, he walked in.

"Your Majesty, the slave has prepared a phoenix chariot for you." Li Dequan said in a low voice, and naturally saw that all the strength in Qi Luo's body seemed to have been exhausted, and even the embroidered shoes were still slightly bloodshot.

"Mr. Li, the emperor should pay more attention to what he eats recently, and don't be careless." Qi Luo sat on the phoenix chariot with Ziying's support, opened the curtain and ordered worriedly, "I will send a list tomorrow. From now on In the future, you must always persuade the emperor, if the emperor is angry, you can say that I arranged it."

"I would like to obey the phoenix metaphor." Li Dequan knelt down and kowtowed, Qi Luo put down the curtain, and the phoenix chariot moved slowly towards Penglai Fengtai.Leaning on the soft cushion, Qi Luo felt that he could not use any strength. As long as he remembered what happened just now, he still felt angry and worried, but at this moment, he was also a little more afraid. What he just faced was Emperor Yongzheng, not only It was her husband, those words were still a little impulsive.

Qi Luo slowly closed his eyes, but he didn't feel regretful, as long as he didn't take the pill, his life would be longer, but it would take more effort to remove the heavy metals deposited in his body, looking at Yinzhen's The situation seems to have not been used for a long time. If it is well maintained, it should be fine.

The phoenix chariot stopped, Ziying supported Qi Luo, and saw Hongli walking over, saying hello from a distance, "Er Niang, Er Niang."

When Hongli walked in, he saw Qi Luo's eyes were red and swollen like cherries, and his face was not good-looking, and he was leaning on Ziying's body weakly, with concern on his face, he supported his mother-in-law, and said softly, " Did you come back from Qinzheng Palace? Did you argue with Huang Ama?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired." Qi Luo smiled lightly, walked into the inner hall and lay down on the couch, too lazy to move. Hongli saw Ziying take off Qi Luo's embroidered shoes, and the white socks were covered with Bloodstains, "What's going on here? Er Niang, who hurt you?"

"I accidentally kicked it on the couch, and it has nothing to do with other people." Qi Luo closed his eyes so he didn't see the difference on his son's face, and waved his hand gently, "Go down and practice calligraphy, Er Niang, rest for a while." talking to you."

"Emiang, you rest, my son is here to accompany you, and I will never make trouble with you." Hongli sat next to Qi Luo, took out a book from the cabinet next to him, and read it, but his eyes kept It landed on Qi Luo who was already sound asleep, and there was a hint of thought in his eyes.

He just heard from the servants below that the queen rushed to Qinzheng Hall after returning from Prince Yi's mansion. After disposing of the Taoist priests, the emperor and empress closed the hall door. How can Hongli feel at ease with his mother's tired and embarrassed appearance?
"Huang Ama, what exactly are you thinking?" Hongli repeated softly, a trace of dissatisfaction with his father flashed deep in his eyes.Ever since he got married, he has started to get involved in the government under Yinzhen's instruction. Some things are naturally clear. Yongzheng's handling of affairs is strict, and every official who meets with him is trembling and vigilant at all times, for fear that he will be reprimanded by Yinzhen the next moment. , Take off the top-wearing flower feathers, and even your property and life will not be preserved.

Hongli is different from Hongmin and the others. After all, he was educated by Kangxi himself in the last years of Kangxi and taught him some ways of being a king. Hongli sometimes felt that his Huangma method was the real master of the ages and should be emulated, while Yinzhen was too ruthless.

After all, he is young, how can he hide his emotions as well as the old fritters in the officialdom?Naturally, the people around him catered to him regardless of whether it was true or false. In the eyes of everyone, Hongli was the most popular candidate for the reserve position. I don't know when, the capital secretly circulated rumors of Yongzheng Yin's succession.

When Hongli heard about it, he was taken aback for a moment, thought of Qi Luo's teaching, and sent someone to quell these rumors, but amidst the rumors, some words fell into his heart. Kangxi was different from other emperors and grandsons in his later years. It was something that Hongli was very proud of. Although he thought it was not credible intellectually for Yin Yin's ascension to the throne, the shrewd Hongli knew that this was a rare bargaining chip, so he naturally believed in it.

Seeing Qi Luo wriggling around uneasy in his sleep, his smooth forehead covered with beads of sweat, he murmured, "Your Majesty, why don't you... treat me like this?"

Hongli covered the brocade quilt that Qi Luo kicked away, with a look of pity in his eyes, and said softly, "Emiang, my son will never let anyone hurt you, not even Huang Ama."

In the next few days, Qi Luo desperately thought about how to adjust Yinzhen's physical condition, but at this time, it happened to be the busiest time for political affairs, and Yongzheng had always been personally involved, that is, Qi Luo went to Qinzheng Hall to watch in person, and Yinzhen's body was treated by Yinzhen. Zhen's character will not let go of those official duties, but just perfunctory, but let Qi Luo stay in Penglai Fengtai well.

Qi Luo was worried about Yinzhen, and also thinking about Yunxiang who was bedridden, and summoned Prince Yi Fujin one after another, and told her how to take care of Yunxiang who was seriously ill. Hygiene, ventilation, and the patient's mentality are all essential. In May of the eighth year of Yongzheng, the day in history when Prince Yi died of illness, Qi Luo couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, and then the imperial physician reported that Prince Yi's condition had improved, and finally let go of his worries.

This period of hard work made Qi Luo feel physically and mentally exhausted, his body seemed to be a little weaker than before, his face was not as healthy and ruddy as before, but a little paler, and the cheongsam he was wearing was also a little loose, Qi Luo pinched Picking up the cheongsam around my waist, I sighed in my heart, losing weight is also very easy, why was it so difficult in the first place?Delay in reaching the goal.

"Your Majesty, please rest for a while, let the servants deliver the food." Ziying showed worry and began to persuade, Qi Luo shook her head and walked out, "If I don't go, the emperor doesn't know when Know how to eat, no matter how tired you are, you have to take this trip."

After the past two months, Qi Luo arranged several courses of medicinal diet for Yinzhen, trying to restore his physical fitness to that before taking the elixir. Looking at the Palace of Qinzheng in the distance, Qi Luo was in a very happy mood. Today It's the last time to deliver medicinal meals.

Although she knows Yinzhen's awkward personality and understands how much he values ​​Jiangshan, but no one wants to see Yinzhen's gloomy face all the time, it will only increase the pressure on him, as if he has made some mistakes, in fact Isn't it just persuading him to eat those meals, especially the ones he doesn't like?Isn't it for his own good?

"It's so kind to treat you like a donkey's liver and lungs. If you are obedient, why do you need to eat these detoxifying medicinal meals?" Qi Luo pouted, but there was a reassuring smile in his eyes, and the hand holding the food box became stronger, talking to himself He said softly, "After today, if you want me to come, I don't want to serve you."

As soon as I climbed the steps of Qinzheng Palace, I heard Yinzhen's angry curse from inside, "I said, those who write anti-poems and anti-scriptures in the future, I will destroy their nine clans, and anyone who reads them, I will also decide." Not lightly."

Qi Luo stopped, and suddenly a term popped up in his mind 'literary prison' During the Yongzheng Dynasty, the literary prison was the most implicated and harshest period in all dynasties in ancient China.

In history, Yongzheng was in power for only 13 years, but there were nearly [-] literary inquisitions.I feel a little hesitant in my heart, should I persuade him?Although those literati wrote poems and books, it is not necessarily that they did not have the intention to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, but the literary prison is too involved, and there are actually many innocent people. What Luo didn't want to see the most.

Li Dequan asked Qi Luo to wait in Dongnuange, and he would report to Yinzhen after he finished summoning the ministers.Qi Luo nodded, and after entering the East Nuan Pavilion, he opened the food box, placed the food properly, and sat aside with his hands on his cheeks, thinking how to persuade Yinzhen.

The sound of heavy footsteps sounded outside, and the voices of the servants in the palace ebbed and flowed, "Greetings to the emperor." Yinzhen walked in with a displeased face, and the faint aroma of the dishes made him frown even more. Did she make trouble on purpose? Why does he always choose some dishes that he doesn't like, and he can't use them, which makes Yongzheng, who is the king of the world, even more depressed.

After the maid brought up the copper basin and waited for Yinzhen to clean his hands, Qi Luo was not as enthusiastic as before, and was in a daze. Yinzhen sat upright, picked up the chopsticks, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Qi Luo looked up, gritted his teeth and replied, "Your Majesty, I just heard your order outside the main hall, is it too strict?" The coolness hit people, and he said coldly, "In your eyes, is I also a tyrant? Or a fool?"

"Why is the emperor so stupid?" Qi Luo approached Yinzhen, took his bruised hand, and said softly, "Scholars are also good, those literati are just confused for a while, sometimes for scholars, the criminal law is not as good as counseling, Wouldn't it be better for them to see the peaceful and prosperous world governed by the emperor."

"I don't want to hear it, empress, you don't understand government affairs, and you don't understand how the rebellious ministers and thieves abused Taizong Taizong. I absolutely can't tolerate this." Yinzhen controlled his anger, and Qi Luo persuaded him a few more words, and finally angered Ben. Just the angry Yinzhen.

"I said before that you are not allowed to do politics in the harem, didn't you hear that?" Yinzhen got up suddenly, and angrily said to Qi Luo, "From today onwards, you don't need to use Qinzheng Palace anymore, so as not to waste your life on your own." I have read other thoughts, so that I can stay in Fenglai, Penglai, and I can read and understand the nuns and nuns."

Qi Luo lowered his eyes, suppressed the disappointment in his eyes, felt a pain in his heart, covered his chest with his right hand, and bit his lip fiercely, his bright teeth almost broke his white lips, tasted the smell of blood, and forced himself to Trying to maintain the usual indifference, squatting down to salute, "The concubine obeys the order."

Yinzhen was stunned, afraid that he would feel pity in his heart, so he looked away immediately, so he didn't see Qi Luo's pale and uncomfortable face, and waved his hands and said, "Go back and think about it for me, are these words what you should say?"

"Yes." Qi Luo turned around slowly, and her right hand grasping her chest was getting stronger and stronger. At this time, her lips were already bruised, and she was covered in sweat, biting the tip of her tongue, and kept awake in bursts of pain. .

He said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please use the food brought by the concubine. After today, even if you don't give an order, the concubine will not come to Qinzheng Hall again. As for the literary prison? One more word from the concubine, A truly self-confident and proud emperor with the world in mind is not afraid of other people's comments, and those poems can only fan the fools."

With a sigh of relief, Qi Luo said again, "The more you prohibit, the more fierce the spread will be. Can you stop the mouth of the world? In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty allowed Sima Qian to write the historical records in his later years. Why do you have to be poor to the clown? Chasing and fighting fiercely will only make them feel that they are righteous and fighters against the Qing Dynasty, but in fact, what the common people want is very simple, they are satisfied with food and clothing, and they are satisfied in times of peace and prosperity.”

After saying these words, Qi Luo went out, Yinzhen wanted to hold her hand and froze in mid-air, just now Qi Luo was against the sunlight, his figure was blurred, but it added a little bit of mistyness, and there was a look on his body that only a Bodhisattva can have. The kind of compassionate, can't bear to profane.

Yinzhen sat back on the chair weakly, picked up the chopsticks again, and ate the food on the table bite by bite. It was bitter and tasted like chewing wax, but faintly revealing the sincerity, holding the chopsticks tightly, silently From Dongnuang Pavilion, Yinzhen faintly whispered, "Is this the last time? How could I allow it?"

Qi Luo returned to Penglai Fengtai with strong energy. She was exhausted for many days, and the argument with Yinzhen in Qinzheng Hall just now made her unable to support herself anymore. She fell on the bed weakly and weakly. Nanny Qin was going to call the imperial physician. But was stopped by Qi Luo, "I'll be fine after two days of rest. I don't need to tell the imperial physician, so as not to worry the emperor and Hongmin. The emperor probably cares."
