Chapter 210, Cooking Nian Gengyao
On May 23, the first year of Yongzheng, Empress Dowager Renshou died, and her posthumous title was: Xiaogong Xuanhui Wensu Ding Yuci Chun Qin Muzan Tiancheng Shengren. It is known in history as Empress Xiaogongren.
In the late Kangxi period, the battle between the Fourth Master and the Fourteenth Master was basically a battle between the Fourth Master and the Fourteenth Master. Empress Dowager Wuya stood on the side of her younger son from beginning to end, which was equivalent to erasing the mother-son relationship with her eldest son. After the Fourth Master Yongzheng ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Wuya was only concerned about the youngest son who was imprisoned in the imperial tomb.
Therefore, the Fourth Master Yongzheng could not be sad when he passed away.
But it is also inevitable to act. The Fourth Master of Yongzheng held a grand funeral for his biological mother and also appointed the fourteenth brother of the imperial tomb, Gushan Beizi, but he was still not allowed to leave the imperial tomb, and he still had to be imprisoned.
In addition, the Fourth Master Yongzheng also posthumously named Prince Yi's biological mother Zhang Jia as the Imperial Concubine Jingmin and buried it with the imperial tomb. This is also the first Imperial Concubine to be buried in the emperor's tomb.
In other words, Empress Dowager Xiaogongren was in the nine fountains, not only wanted to be with the first three queens of the late emperor, but also with the imperial concubine Jingmin.
If Empress Dowager Xiaogongren had any knowledge in the nine fountains, she would probably be so angry that she could survive.
When it comes to making things difficult for others, the Fourth Master is indeed at the level of the emperor.
Empress Dowager Xiaogongren died, and Lin Xianyu was quite happy anyway.
Without the Empress Dowager, she is the biggest boss in the harem. She has been used by the big boss as a tool in her first two lives, and now she has become a boss herself.
Just one word, it’s cool!
Well, in fact, the empress she was the actual ruler of the Six Palaces before. Although Uya was the queen mother, it was absolutely impossible for the fourth master of Yongzheng to hand over the things in the Six Palaces to her own mother.
Even if Uyashi is still alive, he can only be a noble mascot and cannot have real power.
But, it was quite annoying that Empress Dowager Uya had been nagging before.
It's just right to die.
Kunning Palace.
Yinzhen looked at the thin layer of scab on the back of the queen's hand and frowned, "What's going on?"
Before, Yinzhen was busy with the funeral of Empress Dowager Xiaogongren, but he never paid attention to it. His queen was actually injured?
Lin Xianyu smiled: "It's okay."
At this moment, Concubine Xi Niuhulu and Concubine Mao Song stood on the side. These two were concubines who were appointed by Lin Xianyu to "assist in the palace affairs". She did not choose the Nian family with the highest position, but was not suppressing the imperial concubine, mainly because Nian family is not a human nature and has a weak body. She is really not a person who can handle trivial matters. As for Concubine Qi, Lin Xianyu was afraid that she would drag her head, so she did not consider it.
So she chose Concubine Xi, who was cautious and Concubine Mao, who had always been loyal and meticulous. They were originally reporting on the palace affairs, but Yinzhen came and found the scab on the back of Lin Xianyu's right hand.
Maopin showed resentment, "The emperor doesn't know that before Empress Dowager Xiaogongren passed away, she had an attack on the Empress, and even knocked over the medicine bowl and burned the back of the Empress's hand."
Concubine Xi whispered: "The Empress Dowager should have just been careless."
Yinzhen snorted, "Accidentally?!" - Yinzhen obviously didn't believe such words. He didn't know what kind of nature his biological mother was?
Yinzhen glanced at Lin Xianyu's thin scab that spread most of the back of his hand, "You are too. The empress dowager is seriously ill and has a strange temper. Why should you serve the medicine yourself and ask the subordinate to serve you?"
Lin Xianyu smiled. When the empress dowager was seriously ill, the fourth master was obviously forced to "serve the medicine", and the queen also had to act like this.
Lin Xianyu said, "The deceased is gone, and you can't be so angry."
As he said that, Lin Xianyu hurriedly changed the subject, "A few months after the late emperor Rexiao, the empress dowager suddenly died. This errand in Jingshifang is probably going to be slowed down again."
Concubine Xi and Concubine Mao were not young anymore, but they didn't care about this. However, those young and beautiful concubines were looking forward to serving in bed. They also wanted the Interior House family to send beautiful palace maids to the palace long ago in order to get the emperor's blessing and glorify the family.
Yinzhen was silent for a moment, and then said seriously: "I want to mourn the late emperor for three years."
Lin Xianyu was slightly surprised, "The emperor is the emperor. He can use the 27th day to replace the filial piety of the twenty-seventh month. Even if you have the will, it is enough to keep the filial piety of the hundred days. Why do you have to take three years?"
Lin Xianyu is not feeling sorry for the Fourth Master. The key is that he is afraid that he has to follow the filial piety. It would be fine if he doesn’t feel close to his voice, but he also has to quit meat and fish! I can’t bear this!
Yinzhen raised his hand and said, "The queen doesn't need to persuade me! I have decided!"
Lin Xianyu sighed, and had to endure the pain in his flesh and gritted his teeth and said, "I will accompany the emperor to mourn." - Three years, my sweet flesh!
Yinzhen's eyebrows and eyes softened a lot, "It's enough for the queen to have this heart. If you really want to do your best, just copy a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures."
Lin Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief. There was no problem in copying scriptures, so he just thought it was practicing calligraphy.
Yinzhen suddenly said, "I remember that your handwriting was elegant and considerable in your early years, but I have never seen any improvement in the past years."
Lin Xianyu's old face was embarrassed, "You are the emperor now, so I am naturally busier than before, and I have less time to practice calligraphy." - The Fourth Master is busy with work hard. Although he is getting older, his calligraphy is getting better and better. He has long surpassed her.
The proficiency of career is diligent and wasteful.
Then, the Fourth Master of Yongzheng began a filial piety life like an ascetic monk for three years.
As for whether the Fourth Master had secretly eaten the palace maids around him, Lin Xianyu was far away in Kunning Palace, so he naturally didn't know.
Anyway, even the concubines in the harem did not have the opportunity to serve in bed, which reduced a lot of disputes.
In the second year of Yongzheng, General Nian Gengyao returned from victory, which made the Fourth Master Yongzheng overjoyed. The northwest was pacified and the imperial power was stabilized. The Fourth Master could free up his hands to cook for eighty or ninety.
But unexpectedly, at this time, General Nian Gengyao began to squint his tail.
Nian Gengyao was originally a Jinshi, but he gave up his pen and joined the army. He was indeed very good at fighting wars, and he was really a talent. The Fourth Master Yongzheng also liked such a civil and military talent. Because he made many military achievements, the Fourth Master repeatedly rewarded him and regarded him as his right-hand man. The reason why Nian became a concubine was because of Nian Gengyao, the second brother who was successful.
However, Nian Gengyao was arrogant and proud. The more proud he was, the more arrogant he became.
Nian Gengyao wrote to the governors and governors, and the clerks denounced their names - you should know that the governor is already a high-ranking minister, so only emperors and princes can express their names bluntly.
That's fine, but what makes the Fourth Master Yongzheng even more unbearable is that at the frontier, the Mongolian princes and princes must kneel down when they see Nian Gengyao!
On the way back to Beijing, Nian Gengyao directly ordered the governor of Zhili Li Weijun and the governor of Shaanxi Fan Shijie and others to kneel down to welcome him and see him off!
This is not a subject, it clearly shows the emperor's attitude of going on a tour!
Lin Xianyu has never seen such a person who is so destined to death.
The Fourth Master Yongzheng was so angry that he stopped cooking at 80 or 90, and served Nian Gengyao first.
Therefore, on the good day of the first month of the third year of Yongzheng, the Fourth Master began to take action, first demoted Nian Gengyao's confidant, Shaanxi Governor Hu Qiheng.
Since the emperor sent such a direct signal, memorials impeached Nian Gengyao came one after another. Nian Gengyao has been so domineering these years, and he has offended countless people and committed numerous crimes.
In April, the Fourth Master of Yongzheng issued an order to remove Nian Gengyao from the position of governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and ordered him to hand over the seal of Fuyuan General and be transferred to Hangzhou General.
