Tianyou beats small brocade clothes and jade food, not like the scholars of the Han family, the imperial examination is regarded as a way to get ahead. The reason why he was anxious was that he felt that he had disappointed his parents and was not a good example for his younger brothers.

Now, after making this fuss, he was reprimanded by his parents, knowing that his parents did not take the imperial examination too seriously, and the depression in his heart dissipated.

After drinking two bowls of medicine and sleeping for a full night, he was half better.

However, Hengsheng and Zuozhu were worried, because Tianyou was sick, and they couldn't wait to take leave to accompany him immediately. made God bless this elder brother, ashamed, and only said that he was good.

Cao Hao saw that the children went to school every time they went to school, and remembered the summer vacation in the future. Now this child is too hard, except for the three festivals, there is rarely a holiday to rest.

He thought that if he would ask the children to take a month's leave and send them to Haidian Zhuangzi to escape the summer.

Chu Yu listened to it and suggested asking Tian first. After all, Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng both went to school, so don't delay your schoolwork.

Although Tian was looking forward to his son's reluctance, he was also bluffed by Tianyou's illness. It's just fame or profit, in the heart of a mother, it is not as important as the health and safety of her son.

Therefore, hearing Chu Yu say that he wanted his children to take a vacation to escape the summer, Tian nodded hurriedly.

On the other side of the palace, it was Cao Hao who personally asked for leave for Hengsheng.

The children are all sent over, and it is not good to leave an immortal life alone. Cao Hao told his master that he would transfer his family study to Haidian first, and a few small ones also took advantage of this to follow.

The left and right sides are spacious and can be accommodated.

As a result, on the side of the capital mansion, there are only Cao Hao and his wife left, and they are much quieter.

In late May, the weather became hotter and hotter.

Although there is an ice basin in the yamen, it can't contain the heat at all. Cao Hao really can't do anything, and he doesn't leave the fan in his hand all the time.

The sixteenth elder brother once looked for him, and when he saw him like this, he gave him a box of fans. On it is his handwritten inscription, and it is also covered with his small seal, which is quite presentable.

The sixteenth elder brother said triumphantly: "It's well written, now I ask for a plaque outside, a word is a few hundred taels of silver, and the master is impatient." ”

The name is to ask for words, and to send the capital of "moistening the pen", in fact, where is it just for seeking words?

It's just that the sixteenth elder brother attacked the prince, and he was valued by the new emperor and became a powerful prince, and he just wanted to be filial to his son. Among them, the group of people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was the most active.

Cao Hao listened, glanced at him, and said, "No matter whether others ask for it or not, the sixteenth master promised Tianhui to give her shop an inscription." ”

"Ye remember, I don't need your filial father to remind me. Children are debts, when they grow up to be honest and benevolent, they can make people feel at ease. Brother Sixteen said with a slight feeling.

Now that the capital is so hot, everyone thinks that even if the emperor does not tour north, he will definitely move to Changchun Garden. I didn't expect to wait until now, and I didn't hear that the emperor was going to leave the palace.

In the early morning of May 24, the bell of the national mourning rang in the capital again, and the Empress Dowager Renshou collapsed in Yonghe Palace.

Cao Hao vaguely remembered this paragraph, but he was not too surprised.

Only Chu Yu, after calling people to hold the lamp, his expression was a little heavy. Seeing this, Cao Hao asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Chu Yu waited for the maids to go out, and then replied softly: "These words, there is a lot of gossip in the palace...... It's not a good thing, it's nothing more than the emperor's unfilial mother, treating his siblings harshly or something......"

Cao Hao wiped his face and said, "What are you doing with all this gossip?" If others are willing to say it, they will say it, and it will not involve the father-in-law. The father-in-law has always acted respectfully, and the emperor knows it. ”

As he spoke, he was thinking in his heart.

The ninth elder brother was escorted to Xining, the tenth elder brother went to Khalkha, the fourteenth elder brother and the fifteenth elder brother "guarded the mausoleum" in Jingling, and the only remaining were the third elder brother and the imperial nephew Honghui.

The third elder brother's courage is afraid that he will be frightened, so he just begs the emperor not to settle old accounts with him, where can he dare to make small moves. The remaining suspect is Wang Hongxi of Lijun.

Did he think that by discrediting the emperor, he would have a chance to overthrow the throne? In that case, it's ridiculous.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty had the rhetoric of "Eight Kings Discussing Politics" earlier, but it existed in name only. Although there is still a council of ministers for parliament, the participants are not only the princes of the clan, but also the head of the internal affairs office, the minister of the interior of the guard, the scholars, and the six Manchu scholars.

The people behind him are all headed by the emperor.

This so-called parliamentary meeting is just a formality, and in the end it is necessary to obey the emperor's mood.

Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "If it is okay for others to say, these words are flowing from Uncle Guo's mansion......"

"Uncle Guo's Mansion? Roncodo isn't old and confused, is he? Cao Hao couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

No matter how arrogant Long Keduo is, he will not be cheap and obedient, speaking for the Queen Mother.

"It's Uncle Bai's house." Chu Yu said.

Cao Hao then remembered that now there is a national uncle's mansion, talking about the queen mother's own brother, Yongzheng's own uncle, first-class public confession.

"The words have reached your ears, and you can't hide it from the emperor, so wait and see." Cao Hao said.

The husband and wife gossiped and cleaned up, and Le Chun also brought someone to bring breakfast.

Cao Hao hurriedly had breakfast and went out. Chu Yu's side has to wait for the dawn and obey the arrangements of the Ministry of Rites.

Because of the cloudy day, it was pitch black outside, and lights loomed in the distance.

When Cao Hao arrived outside the palace gate, the lights were already bright and the figures were shaking.

Although the funeral and the emperor's funeral belong to the same national funeral, the emperor's funeral involves the change of the throne and the rise and fall of the courtiers, and everyone is trembling; If it is the queen, everyone can still ponder, where the mother can be in power in the harem, whether there is a girl of the right age to enter the palace, and what will affect the storage position.

But now it is the mourning of the queen mother, or the mourning of the queen mother who is not in harmony with the emperor, and the princes and ministers who heard the mourning sound and came to mourn are much lighter.

Obviously very sleepy, yawning, and his eyes were watery. But he was afraid of falling into the eyes of others and losing his respect. You must know that since the founding of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, these generations of emperors Yanjing have loved to anger people at funerals. After a big funeral, many officials were taken off their hats.

Now this person is lively enough. They either pulled out their handkerchiefs or rolled their sleeves and rubbed them into their eyes. Then, the tears flowed happily, but her mouth was muttering, how kind the Queen Mother was, Yunyun.

Seeing this, Cao Hao looked down at his sleeve.

At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the east gradually turned white, and the princes and ministers also arrived.

Officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with small officials. A white cloth smock has been brought in, waiting for everyone to change their clothes. One less time, the gate of the palace is a white expanse.

From the sound of the death knell to now, it has been two hours, and there is still no will to mourn and mourn down...... * Yonghe Palace, and it is sleeping.

Where the Queen Mother was lying, her brows frowned slightly, as if she was trying her best to endure something. The corners of her forehead are dark and blue, and she looks very scary.

The queen was pale, holding a powder box in her hand, standing by the kang, carefully powdering the wounds on the queen mother's face. I don't know if it's nervous, my hand trembled, and the powder slapped on the queen mother's chest...... Yongzheng stood there, watching like this, his expression was more ugly than crying. He clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth wide.

At the moment when the Queen Mother was confirmed, he was even secretly happy, so he couldn't wait to order someone to ring the death knell. But after the death knell, he stood here, looking at the woman lying on the kang, and couldn't tell what it tasted like in his heart.

Although the Queen Mother was in the early hours of the morning, she started to make trouble last night.

Yongzheng was busy watching the folds in the Yangxin Palace, thinking about where to harvest the wheat, and I don't know what the situation will be this year; Where should the ditches be built, and where should the money be made?

This country, due to the laxity of the rule of officials [***], has been riddled with holes. He, the emperor, has not yet started the enjoyment of the emperor, so he first sticks a piece in the east and a piece in the west, and is so busy that he hits the back of his head.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother made people come to invite her in a panic.

Today's new tribute peach to the Ministry of Internal Affairs is what the Queen Mother likes to eat, and Yongzheng sent it to Yonghe Palace. Could it be for this reason? With a little doubt and some expectation, he arrived at Yonghe Palace.

After all, it is a mother and son, even if the stalemate is like this, he is more or less looking for a glimmer of hope.

Unexpectedly, when the Queen Mother saw him, she was furious.

Seeing Yongzheng, she didn't say much, and scolded: "What a hateful heart, do you really want to hurt the old fourteen?" You have already robbed him of the throne, and you still want to seek his surname? ”

She didn't avoid people, and there were several palace maids waiting in this dormitory.

Yongzheng stopped there, looking at the crazy Queen Mother in front of him, and his face turned a little blue.

"Robbing"? What is "grabbing"?

Yesterday, it was said that there was an excerpt from the Jingling Metropolitan Command, saying that it was the fifteenth elder brother who was infected with the epidemic, and whether to invite the imperial doctor from the capital and ask the emperor to decide.

Although Yongzheng didn't like the fifteenth elder brother, in the end, it was up to the face of the concubine and the sixteenth elder brother, so he did not delay, and ordered the Tai Hospital to choose two good doctors to go out of Beijing to Jingling to see the fifteenth elder brother.

It seems that the Queen Mother got the news, but it was not true, but it was the fourteenth elder brother who had an accident, so she didn't care about it.

Seeing Yongzheng's expression, the Queen Mother became more and more angry, and shouted: "If you still recognize me as a mother, you will immediately order to take the fourteenth back to Beijing!" ”

Yongzheng said lightly: "If I don't agree to take the old fourteenth back to Beijing, the Queen Mother won't recognize me?" ”

The Queen Mother said hatefully: "You can't tolerate the old fourteen, so you will circle me together!" ”

Between mother and son, from the earliest estrangement to resistance, to the current suspicion and disgust.

Yongzheng was disturbed by state affairs, and it was rare to come to the Empress Dowager Palace with great interest, but it was such a result.

He was finally tired, and Yi Xing said: "If the Queen Mother has nothing else to do, I will go back first." ”

The queen mother was worried about her young son, where would she let go, stood sideways in front of him, gritted her teeth and said: "I beg you, let the old fourteen go back to Beijing!" While speaking, he actually wanted to kneel down to Yongzheng.

Worship the Son with a mother, where is this truth? If Yongzheng suffers it, he is afraid that there will be rolling thunder in the sky.

He moved to avoid it, but the Queen Mother was persistent, and she still knelt in front of him.

Yongzheng really couldn't help it, he didn't care about being angry, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother didn't appreciate it, and pushed the fourth elder brother away vigorously, but she didn't expect to push Yongzheng away, but fell backwards by herself, and fell to the ground with the chair.

The Queen Mother immediately fainted, but there was a new wound on her forehead. Due to excessive bleeding, the Queen Mother couldn't stand it half a day later and lost her life......
