Chapter 69 Life Is Like Chess (7)

On the tenth day of March, the magnificent and magnificent Forbidden City rang for the first time since it became the palace of the royal family of the Qing Dynasty. Seventy-seven and 49 death knells sounded. This is the standard etiquette that only the queen Xianyou has. !

Xiao, Xian, Zhuang, He, Zhide, Xuanren, Wen, Hui, Duan, Jing
So many beautiful words are piled up into the beloved of Emperor Shunzhi who died young - Empress Dong E's family of filial piety!

She was No.1 in all dynasties and dynasties among those who ascended the throne without an heir and was able to become a queen after death, and she is the only one who has never been seen before or since!
Fulin not only stopped the court, but also ordered the whole country to observe the funeral, and forced the dignitaries in the court to carry the coffin for him. He ordered all the wives in the court to cry bitterly, otherwise they would be punished. Thirty eunuchs and female officials were forced to accompany him in the funeral. Forget it, most of the female officials in the palace were from noble families in the Eight Banners of Manchuria. It is conceivable how much evil this incident has caused and how much hatred it has aroused.

What Fulin did not do these things seemed to violate his saying of "practicing Zen and compassion". As for the imperial physician who was in charge of his illness in Chengqian Palace at that time, of course he could not escape the responsibility. The Heavenly Prison will only be executed together after the fall, including Qin Guan!

The most innocent and unluckiest person in the whole incident is Concubine Shu. She just snorted with an itchy nose while guarding the spirit, but Fulin accused her of being disrespectful to Empress Xiaoxian, and she was demoted to two ranks in a row. , from the noble concubine to the noble concubine.

Since then, all the positions above the imperial concubine have been vacant, and the highest status under the empress is only the second concubine Ning and Jing. Once Concubine Tong leaves, Concubine Ning becomes the only concubine who has an elder brother.

After the funeral of Empress Xiaoxian, the two palaces where the monk who served her as a dojo once lived were also burned to ashes together with a large number of treasures for the empress to use in the underworld. It was sealed off and became a forbidden place in the palace and Emperor Shunzhi's heart, no one was allowed to set foot there!
However, the more outrageous thing is yet to come. Emperors have always used red pens to correct the memorials presented by ministers. Only when the emperor has a big line and the new emperor ascends the throne will he use blue pens to criticize them.

But this time, it was only the Dong E family, the empress with a bad name, who passed away, and Shunzhi actually used a blue pen to correct the memorial, which was equivalent to the same rank as the emperor. Regardless of whether she was alive or after death, Fulin praised her. A height that no one can match!Such an exception caused dissatisfaction among countless people, including the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. It is no wonder that after Fulin's death, Dong Exianglan's coffin was removed, leaving only the title of Queen.

The thousands of words of "Queen Duan Jing's History" tells the beauty and kindness of Dong E's family, and also expresses Fulin's deep condolences for her.Also because of this endless longing, Fulin's temper became more and more weird. He didn't see anyone, and he didn't allow anyone to disturb him. He locked himself in the Qianqing Palace, and there was only one thing he did: thoughts and memories!He doesn't want to face the cruel reality!
Even the empress dowager was turned away when she went to visit. If it was only for a while, the empress dowager would not be worried, because as long as this period of time passed, she would be fine. How to write the word cheer up, she was worried about Zhong Zhong for a while but couldn't think of any way to do it.

Although Fulin didn't let Chang Xi in, he still kept guard outside the palace. In the dark, a minister entered the palace overnight and handed something to Chang Xi, asking him to present it to the emperor on his behalf.The matter was so important that there was no delay, so Chang Xi had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask for an interview outside, but no one answered after waiting for a long time. While complaining in his heart, he gently opened the door of the temple, and just as he stepped on the threshold, he was "bang" He was startled by a loud bang, and saw a crystal paperweight shattered in front of his feet. If it was a few minutes away, it should have fallen on him!
He raised his head timidly, only to see the haggard Fulin staring at him viciously with his red bloodshot eyes: "You think your life is too long, don't you?"

Chang Xi hurriedly knelt down and raised the things in his hands high: "I am so bold, I beg the emperor to forgive me. This is the dossier just submitted by the clan's mansion. Concubine Tong has already confessed. May I ask if the emperor will give her the death penalty?" After finishing speaking in one breath, he lowered his head and waited for the adjudication of Fulin.

After being locked up for a few days, the air in this hall was extremely turbid, but Fulin didn't notice it, or maybe he would rather live in this turbidity than breathe the cool air outside, because it would remind him of the pain worse than death. A hundred times the matter!
Chang Xi didn't hear Fulin's voice until he knelt until his feet became numb: "Submit it!"

"Cha!" Chang Xi hurriedly agreed, propped up two numb legs, and presented the dossier in front of Fulin in two steps at a time.

Fulin stretched out his hand to pick it up, but his fingers stopped when they touched the soft paper. He slowly retracted his hand and curled it into a fist. The veins were faintly visible under the skin. He let the roll of paper stay where it was, and he closed his eyes. Eyes leaned back against the back of the chair.

"Death!" He didn't have any hesitation when he said these two words, all that was just heavy, so heavy that he could hardly breathe due to all the helplessness!

When Chang Xi was about to ask him if he was going to draw up the decree now, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, as well as slight voices. Before Fulin could ask, Chang Xi replied knowingly: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that it is the concubine Chun who is coming outside." In the past few days, she has been coming every day to ask about your situation, the slave emperor."

Fulin's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, but he didn't open them, Chang Xi was about to go out first to send Concubine Chun back when he suddenly heard Fulin say: "Let Concubine Chun come in, I have something to say to her. "

"Cha!" Hearing that the emperor wanted to see someone, Chang Xi's face suddenly brightened, and he immediately dispatched to invite Concubine Chun in.

Clan House Prison

The footsteps of jailers patrolling back and forth in the cell, and the moans of prisoners from time to time interweave into an out-of-tuned piece of music.A well-fed mouse came out of the hole with its slender tail and crawled on the wet floor of one of the cells. A pair of human feet suddenly appeared in its small mouse eyes. It looked at the owner of the feet curiously, showing no sign of fear at all. It saw such people almost every day, and often changed them. Many people never came back after being taken out. Only it lived here all the time.

"Squeak! Squeak!" It raised its head and yelled a few times, reminding people that this is its territory, and you should say hello to it when you come, but no matter how it yelled, the person didn't respond, just looked up. Staring at the small skylight on the top in a daze.

The mouse got angry, it didn't allow anyone to ignore it like this, so it opened its mouth, showing the long front teeth inside, and bit down hard on the instep of one of the unshoeed feet, almost before it bit the flesh. At the same time, the foot bounced reflexively, threw it out, and slid to the ground after making an intimate contact with the wall.

It took a while for the dazed mouse to wake up. It twisted its disjointed neck and limped to another place. It was just to say hello, but it actually kicked it. It's so rude, it doesn't want to be in the same room with this kind of person again, can't it hide if it can't be provoked? !

The pain of being bitten by a mouse interrupted Concubine Tong's thoughts. She didn't need to look at her to know that there must be two teeth marks on the instep of her left foot, and there was still blood flowing out.

Today's Concubine Tong is dressed in a prison uniform. The days when she was dressed in rich clothes and jewels are gone, and now even a small mouse dares to bully her.Wave after wave of pain came from her feet, and this kind of pain reminded her of that day, when she slowly stroked the wound on her neck that was no longer bleeding but was now pus.

Is it really all over?Concubine Tong asked herself in her heart, in fact, the answer was already in her heart, why did she need to ask again, but she still couldn't let it go, couldn't let it go!

Is he reluctant to bear the high position of concubine?Still reluctant to live a life of rich clothes and good food?

No!What she is really reluctant to part with is her five-year-old child. How can he live in this cruel palace without his mother? A son without his mother will definitely be bullied, and he will never have the chance to become the future emperor , Xuan Ye... Er Niang originally wanted to fight for the best for you, but why did she leave you alone in this man-eating place, would you blame Er Niang?

Fulin... Did I really annoy you this time?

You asked me that day, did you ever feel sorry for me, but in fact, with so many women in the harem, which one do you feel sorry for?Dong Exianglan is a woman, so why not me, Tong Jiaweining?

In fact, Dong E Xianglan died in your own hands. If you hadn't praised her so highly, how could I have tried to get rid of her, and I would not have ended up like this today!

Dazed, Concubine Tong suddenly remembered that when she first entered the palace, she, Mo Wan and Xie Yu were the only three of the show girls who were named nobles. Compared with the two of them, she was already very Well, one was tainted and falsely pregnant to confuse the dragon species, and the other was force-fed with red flowers and killed the fetus alive. Only she, only she gave birth to Xuan Ye in a dangerous way, and was promoted to concubine, enjoying it for six full years She should be content with her honor...
