Chapter 457: Lobbyist
It is late at night, there are several rows of houses at the corner of the back garden of Qingning Palace, here is the residence of the eunuchs and palace maids, there is a small house in the innermost corner of the corner, which was originally where the firewood house was, and now a part of the place has been cleared out here, and two small beds are placed, which is the residence of Makata and Chenghuan.
Because it is a firewood house, the quality of the house is naturally needless to say, and due to disrepair, the only window does not even have window paper, and the wind from outside is constantly pouring into the house. Fortunately, it's autumn, so it's bearable, but what makes Makata and Chenghuan unbearable the most is that there are too many mosquitoes at night, and the two of them can't sleep at night. can only sleep alone and catch mosquitoes by the other, so that the two of them naturally lack sleep, and they look listless with dark circles all day long.
"Smack......
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
From time to time, there was a crisp sound of slapping in the room, it was Makata and Chenghuan chasing mosquitoes. Cheng Huan's face was full of red envelopes from mosquito bites, and she asked Makata with tears in her eyes while chasing mosquitoes, "Sister, why do we live here?" I don't want to live here, I want to go back to Qingning Palace to live. ”
Makata comforted her sister while chasing mosquitoes: "Chenghuan, don't worry, it won't be long before we can return to Qingning Palace." ”
Cheng Huan, who was only ten years old, couldn't help but lose his temper, twisting his little body and making trouble: "I don't ...... I'm going back now! I'm hungry, I want meat, I want mille-feuille! ”
Makata endured the sourness in her heart, stroked her sister's little head and said softly: "Chenghuan, it won't be long before Huang Ama will take us back to Qingning Palace, and you can eat whatever you want at that time." ”
"You lied to me!" Cheng Huan kicked his legs on the bed and said loudly: "We were driven here by that vicious woman at the behest of Huang Amma, he doesn't like us anymore, I hate him...... I'm going to find the Emperor's mother! ”
"Shh......h
Thirteen-year-old Makata is undoubtedly much more sensible than her sister, after hearing Cheng Huan's words, she quickly leaned forward and covered Cheng Huan's small mouth and said urgently: "Cheng Huan, don't say it, if people hear it and report to the emperor Amma, we will be miserable!" ”
"I don't care, I'm just going to say! Have you forgotten that I called him so loudly that day, but he just ignored me, he didn't care about us anymore, didn't you let me say it? "Once a child loses his temper, he doesn't care about anything, and Cheng Huan is in this situation now, and the child's characteristic shrill voice echoes in the room.
Seeing her sister lose her temper, Makata's face turned pale with fright, and she was just talking, when she heard a faint voice ringing nearby: "Chenghuan, do you really hate me so much?" ”
When the two sisters heard the voice, they looked back, and saw Huang Taiji, who was dressed in civilian clothes, standing at the door with his hands in his hands, looking at the two of them quietly, with a deep gaze in his eyes. Behind him, outside the door, dozens of eunuchs and palace maids stood outside the door in a long line.
Seeing Huang Taiji suddenly appear, whether it was Cheng Huan, who was losing his temper, or Makata, who was comforting his sister, they were all frightened. Makata is older than Cheng Huan, and he clearly understands what supreme status and power Huang Taiji has in the Qing Dynasty, although he is his own Emperor Ama, he is also the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Makata was so frightened that he jumped off the bed and immediately knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Erchen has seen Huang Ama, Huang Ama is auspicious!" ”
Huang Taiji ignored Makata, but walked around her and walked to Cheng Huan, who was still sitting on the bed, and asked slowly, "Cheng Huan, do you hate me so much?" ”
"Yes, I just hate you, I don't like you anymore. Who told you to hand us over to that vicious woman to discipline. Cheng Huan had tears in his eyes, and tried to stare at Huang Taiji and said loudly: "My sister and I have endless work every day, but we haven't even eaten a full meal, and we still sleep in this dilapidated house with air leaks on all sides every day, it's all your fault." I don't like you anymore, I'm going to find my royal mother! ”
"Presumptuous!" Huang Taiji was angry, he raised his right hand and was about to hit it, but when he saw Cheng Huan's mosquito-bitten red envelope and obviously much thinner figure and the eyes that were staring at him stubbornly, a soft place in his heart seemed to be suddenly touched.
He slowly put down his right hand, turned his head to look at the surrounding environment, and then a buzzing sound sounded in his ears, and then he only felt an itch on his face, and his right hand patted his face without thinking, and looked at it with the help of dim lights, only to see a few flattened mosquitoes lying in the palm of his right hand, listening to the buzzing sound around him, Huang Taiji's face began to sink again.
Huang Taiji suddenly shouted: "Yehenara! ”
"The concubine is here!"
As Huang Taiji's voice sounded, a woman wearing a blue and yellow narrow-fitting robe walked over. This woman is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and she has a rather beautiful melon seed face, but the forehead is slightly higher, and with thin lips, she looks a little mean.
This woman was none other than Yehenara, the side concubine who had been ordered to discipline Cheng Huan and Makata.
Yehenala walked up to Huang Taiji and turned sideways to Wanfu and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the concubine is here." ”
Huang Taiji pointed to this room and reprimanded angrily: "Yehenala clan, I asked you to discipline Makata and Chenghuan, is this how you discipline them?" It's just a matter of letting them work, not letting them have enough to eat, and now letting them live in such a place, you tell me, is this a place where people live? I'm afraid that the place where the eunuch palace maid lives is ten times stronger than here, right? ”
In the face of Huang Taiji's anger, Yehenala didn't speak, just knelt down silently and hung her head without speaking, she knew that this matter was indeed done by herself, although Huang Taiji asked her to discipline Makata and Chenghuan, but she didn't let her abuse the two, the main reason why she did this was because of her selfishness, the reason why Huang Taiji didn't ask before was not because Huang Taiji didn't know, but because he just turned a blind eye, and now since Huang Taiji put this matter on the table, it shows that he wants to settle accounts with her.
Moreover, with Yehenara's understanding of Huang Taiji, if she still dared to quibble now, Huang Taiji's punishment for her would definitely be ten times more severe than before.
After Huang Taiji finished speaking, the Yehenara clan said in a low voice: "This matter is indeed the selfish intention of the concubine, the concubine is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." ”
The little bit of caution of the Yehenala clan naturally couldn't hide it from Huang Taiji, but he naturally wouldn't point it out, after all, the Yehenala clan acted according to his will, at best, he tortured the two little girls with his own will
If he punishes Yehnara in front of the two girls, isn't that saying that what he did was wrong?
With a light snort, Huang Taiji waved his hand and motioned for the Yehenara clan and the eunuchs and palace maids behind him to retreat, and then said to Makata and Cheng Huan: "Do you miss your mother very much?" ”
Before Makata could speak, the anxious Cheng Huan jumped out of bed, hugged Huang Taiji's thighs, opened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Huang Ama, is Huang Eniang back, you take us to see her!" ”
Looking at Cheng Huan, who was holding his thighs with a look of surprise on his face, Huang Taiji's eyes first showed a look of pity, but as soon as he thought of their mother, the muscles on his face immediately twitched, and the pity immediately became cold, and before he could say anything, Makata hurriedly came over and pulled her away, and said urgently: "Cheng Huan, don't interrupt Huang Amma's words first, let Huang Ama finish speaking." ”
"Oh!"
Cheng Huan reluctantly let go of Huang Taiji's thighs, and looked at Huang Taiji with blank eyes: "Huang Ama, you say, Cheng Huan listen." ”
Huang Taiji forcibly endured the anger in his heart, and pretended to be plain and said: "Your Huang Eniang is now in Daming, she misses you very much now, and sent someone to pick you up, so Huang Ama plans to let you follow those Ming people to Daming tomorrow to see your Huang Eniang, are you willing?" ”
"Huang Eniang went to Daming?" Cheng Huan covered his small mouth and stared at Huang Taiji in surprise, "Huang Ama, how could Huang Eniang go to Daming, was she really taken away by the Ming people?" ”
"You ......" was twitched by the muscles on Huang Taiji's face in a sentence, although the whole Qing Dynasty knew about Zhezhe's abduction by Yang Feng, but no one dared to talk about it in front of him, but now he was told by his own daughter, Rao is Huang Taiji had already been prepared, and he also felt that his face was a little hot.
He snorted lightly, "Don't worry about so many children, I'm here to inform you to hurry up and prepare, and I plan to send you to your mother's side in two days." Alright, I'm gone, so you can rest for now. With that, Huang Taiji turned around and walked out of the firewood room......
That night, the two sisters, Makata and Chenghuan, had insomnia, and there were many people who had insomnia like them, not only Huang Taiji and a group of Manchu princes and ministers, but also insomnia, they were worried about the fate of the Jiang Ning army outside the city and themselves.
Early in the morning of the second day, just as all the officers and men of the Jiangning Army got up early in the morning to set up a position to attack Shengjing City again, a Manchu official came to the camp and asked to see Yang Feng.
"You're just going to finish me?"
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was wearing a typical Manchu official uniform, with a money tree tail, and a rather elegant temperament, Yang Feng looked at him very curiously, and then asked.
Ning Wan and I arched my hand towards Yang Feng, and said in a skilled Daming official dialect: "This official is Shi Ning Wan of the Hongwen Academy University in the Great Qing Dynasty, and I have met the Marquis of Jiangning on the orders of my emperor!" ”
Yang Feng asked curiously: "I heard that you were originally a Han Chinese, but you admired the Tartars, and took refuge in Nurhachi at a young age. ”
Ning finished my face flushed.
