Chapter 738: Princess Kunxing's Plans
"I see!" Shi Kefa sighed, Chongzhen has always kept the song of inviting the vassal king as the heir, and the ministers of the court and the central government have also discussed it.
Many people think that Chongzhen does not want the throne to fall into the hands of the side vassal kings, and he also pays attention to the inheritance of the unification by his own son. After all, didn't Concubine Zhang Xiu'er just give birth to a princess, and the emperor is not yet forty years old, so it is not impossible to have some heirs when he recovers.
Who talked about the reason why Chongzhen didn't establish a vassal king was because the three princes were still alive! Moreover, this news was concealed from the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the elders in the center did not hear about it!
"Alas, Your Majesty shouldn't hide it from us, if we learn about it, it will definitely make the rescue work more secure, and it won't be to this point." Pavilion Old Wang Duo sighed. But what's the use of saying that at this time?
Concubine Zhang Xiu'er and Princess Kunxing came to the letter, and they all cried into tears. There were female dependents in this Qianqing Palace, and several elders withdrew from the palace.
"Father, father, ......." Looking at Chongzhen's pale face without a trace of blood, Princess Kunxing was grief-stricken, and a large string of tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Woo woo, the queen mother is gone, and the brothers are gone, can you bear to leave your daughter behind again? Are you willing to give up this empire that you have worked so hard to maintain?
Father, I beg your daughter, don't go, don't leave your daughter alone. Without you, my daughter has no hope in this world.
Father, you haven't seen your daughter get married, you said that you want to hold a beautiful wedding for your daughter, so that all the girls envy your daughter, you can't talk and don't count! ”
Princess Kunxing attached herself to the brocade, pulling Chongzhen's unconscious palm, crying. And Zhang Xiu'er, the virtuous concubine holding her daughter on the side, was already crying out of breath.
As the emperor's concubine, all the honors and disgraces of Zhang Xiuer are tied to Chongzhen alone, Chongzhen is alive, she is Chongzhen's favorite concubine, and she is also the lord of the six palaces.
Feeling the oppressive atmosphere, the little princess who was less than one year old in Zhang Xiu's arms looked at her crying mother with round eyes, and also cried "wow", and the palace maids who followed Princess Kunxing and Zhang Xiu also wept one by one, and the whole palace was poignant.
After crying for a while, Kun Xing stopped his grief and began to think. My father had a stroke, although he was still alive, the possibility of recovery was extremely small, and there were some things that had to be done for the sake of himself and the future of the Ming Dynasty.
Wiping the tears on her face, Princess Kunxing waved her hand and drove out the eunuchs and palace maids waiting in the palace, leaving only herself and Concubine Zhang Xiu'er by Chongzhen's side, as well as a confidant palace maid.
"What's wrong, princess?" Zhang Xiu'er raised her tearful face and asked in surprise.
"Father is like this, our backers are almost gone, we have to find a way now." Princess Kunxing replied, beckoned her confidant palace maid to come over, and gave a few low commands, and the palace maid walked outside the hall.
Outside the Qianqing Palace, Shi Kefa was interrogating Han Zanzhou and asking him what happened. Han Zanzhou talked in detail about the deletion and deletion after adding oil and vinegar, and naturally put all the faults on Li Guofu's head.
"Li Guofu is deeply valued by His Majesty, how can he collude with the Manchu Tartars? What is he trying to do? Shi Kefa still didn't believe it, and looked at Han Zanzhou with suspicion.
Shi Kefa is the first assistant of the cabinet, and he is extremely powerful, and even Han Zanzhou in front of him does not dare to be presumptuous, so he can only stand aside and smile bitterly.
"Maybe it's for money, after all, Li Guofu is extremely greedy for money, and a castrated eunuch like this has nothing to think about except money, and it's not impossible to do such a thing for money." The second assistant Qian Qianyi said, but the eunuch also scolded Han Zanzhou next to him, but Han Zanzhou didn't dare to be angry at all when he laughed.
"Didn't Your Majesty ask Jinyiwei to check when he was sober? You can always find out why. Sanfu Wang Duo also said.
At this moment, a palace maid walked to the door of the palace and said that Concubine Xian and the princess had invited Lord Shoufu to enter.
Princess Kunxing is Chongzhen's only adult child now, assisting Chongzhen in managing the affairs of the inner palace, making everything in the inner palace in order, and it is said that even Chongzhen's inner library is taken care of by Princess Kunxing, and even the four seas businesses outside are also controlled by Princess Kunxing. After the Sihai firm was handed over from Chen Yue, it was not directly handed over to the household department for management, but as a royal property, all the proceeds were put into the inner treasury.
Shi Kefa has always been dissatisfied with this kind of behavior, and has admonished Chongzhen many times in a row, asking Chongzhen to hand over the Sihai business to the household department, but Chongzhen has not agreed. Therefore, Shi Kefa doesn't like Princess Kunxing, the actual manager of the Four Seas business, very much, thinking that a princess should stay in the palace honestly and shouldn't do so much.
However, since Princess Kunxing summoned her in the name of Concubine Xian, Shi Kefa could only enter the palace to see what was going on.
Although Shi Kefa is the first assistant of the cabinet, he is a man after all, in order to avoid suspicion, Princess Kunxing and Zhang Xiuer both sat on the edge of Chongzhen's bed, and the silk tent on the bed was put down to isolate the sight of both parties.
"The minister Shi Kefa has seen the virtuous concubine and the princess." After Shi Kefa entered the hall, he stood far away from the silk tent and bowed.
"Lord Yuanfu doesn't have to be polite," Kun Xing hurriedly said, Kun Xing didn't dare to disrespect Shi Kefa, the head of the cabinet and the first person in the imperial court.
"This palace invited Motosuke to come because there is something to inquire."
"Please!" Shi Kefa cherishes ink like gold.
"The sudden serious illness of my father will inevitably cause turmoil in the court. The palace heard that the original troops in Nanjing were all transferred to the Jiujiang front, and now the troops in the city are all drawn from Fujian, Zhejiang and other places, and most of them do not belong to the Beijing camp.
Ordinary times are just that, now is a critical period, so many guest soldiers stay in Nanjing, it will make the situation more complicated, the palace thinks, at this time there should be a heavy general to guard the capital, coincided with the victory of Jiujiang, the main force of the West Thief has been defeated, at this time as long as the generals are ordered to lead the troops to pursue respectively, it is no different if Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, is not on the front line.
The palace thought that the imperial court could send a decree to order Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, to return to the court, and with the Duke of Qi sitting in the capital, it would definitely be able to deter Xiaoxiao, and the court would smoothly pass through this turbulent period. ”
Princess Kunxing said something eloquently, and what she said was justified, but the more Shi Kefa listened, the more angry she became, and her anger churned in her heart. What's wrong with this, a princess actually pointed fingers at the government?
"This kind of national affairs is naturally handled by the cabinet and the court, and the princess will not work on her behalf!" Shi Kefa replied stiffly, and walked out of the hall, unwilling to pay attention to Princess Kunxing. ()
