Chapter 365 Yongzheng Qianpin 18
Mo Ran reported every word of what happened outside to the Queen.
The queen suddenly smiled.
"Tell me, why can she repeatedly warn her mother's family? She even makes decisions before the emperor makes any move? She is not afraid of exposing the family's scandal, of offending the emperor, or of being coldly treated by the clan..."
Mo Ran moved his lips but said nothing.
"If the mother's family is strong, the woman can stand up straight - no, wasn't the Nian family also favored? But didn't it still end tragically? Oh, he was a good emperor, but unfortunately, not a good husband!"
The queen burst into laughter, and then fell into a long sleep!
On October 9, the 1731th year of Yongzheng's reign (10), the empress passed away and the whole country mourned!
It is not clear whether Yongzheng knew those words or not. Anyway, for several months in a row, Yongzheng's face was solemn!
The ladies in the palace didn't even dare to play around!
Xue Li and her children always dressed simply and elegantly, and Yongzheng didn't say anything when he saw it.
It's just that the palace power was transferred to her.
Xue Li arranged for Concubine Qi, Concubine Yu, Concubine Ning and Concubine Ji to assist.
At the end of the year, Prince Yi Yunxiang passed away.
In his early years, he suffered physical damage due to confinement, and later he was busy following Yongzheng.
In fact, in history, Yunxiang passed away in the eighth year of Yongzheng's reign.
I think he was forced to be involved in Jia Shifang's case. He felt ashamed and unhappy, and died in depression!
Now, he lasted for more than a year, but finally passed away.
Yongzheng held his brother's hand and tears fell from his eyes. He was sad for a long time after that!
In the early spring of the 10th year of Yongzheng's reign (1732), Yongzheng ordered Prince Zhuang to conquer Japan and Ryukyu.
People were also arranged to cultivate good varieties and change river courses to avoid drought.
Xue Li's second brother, together with his friends, developed an instrument to find water sources, making it easier to dig wells.
Yongzheng granted him a small official position and a house, and most importantly, he was able to draw inferences from one instance to another and start a research institute.
The research institute has clear division of labor!
It’s mainly about living needs and people’s demands.
As for military industries, they are all in the mountains.
In the same year, the first large ocean-going ship of the Swedish East India Company arrived at the port.
The Swedish East India Company's first ocean-going ship, the "Frederichs of Sweden", arrived in Guangzhou for trade this year, with Chen Tingguan, a merchant from the Chongyihang, an important foreign goods company in Guangzhou, acting as guarantor.
This incident is recorded in detail in the book "The Tenth Year of Yongzheng's Reign: The Story of the Swedish Ship".
At the same time, the corruption of officials that was exposed was dealt with ruthlessly by Yongzheng!
As a result, the welfare benefits of ministers were improved, but corruption and bribery were severely cracked down!
In early October, Sydney was pregnant again!
Xue Li thought about it and decided that this was probably the Hongzhou in history.
Yongzheng was very happy. The two little ones were lively and active at the moment, jumping around, and Yongzheng loved them very much.
Even the twin boys and girls stick together wherever the older brother goes, and the younger sister wants whatever the older brother sees.
The sister should wear the same color clothes as her brother.
The brother went to the study room, and the sister also cried and asked for it.
Yongzheng was helpless, but he really couldn't bear to look at those tearful eyes.
There’s nothing I can do but agree!
So much so that later Halahazi became keen on fighting for power and profit.
There's nothing you can do about it, she received the same education as Hongjun.
Yongzheng just let her do what she wanted, and Xue Li didn't interfere!
So much so that later generations of princesses took the imperial power politics to the extreme!
However, the successor that Yongzheng carefully cultivated was extremely lazy. He had brains but didn't use them.
Of course, no one knows what will happen in the future.
While Xue Li was pregnant, Zhang Changzai also became pregnant.
Yongzheng disliked Na's constant noisiness, so Na had long since become a thing of the past.
In order to facilitate management, Yongzheng sent troops to Goryeo.
The Mongolian tribes were somewhat uneasy about the Qing Dynasty's actions.
He sent the Mongolian concubine into the palace as a test.
Yongzheng accepted it, named her Jingpin, and allowed her to live in Changchun Palace.
In the 11th year of Yongzheng's reign (1733), the Qing government adjusted the official vacancy system, which involved the distribution of power between central and local officials and was an important change within the political system.
In the same year, the various economic policies of the Yongzheng period continued to be implemented, such as strengthening agricultural production, adjusting the policy of land reclamation, implementing the system of returning surpluses to the public and the system of maintaining integrity, in order to consolidate the country's economic foundation.
A series of measures have also been taken, such as combating crime and strengthening public security.
Arrange people to compile history books, etc.
On June 11 of the same year, Sydney launched the uprising.
However, during the delivery, the two midwives were pulled out, and Xue Li successfully gave birth to a son.
Yongzheng laughed out loud with joy as he looked at the pink and white baby.
"Reward! Hahaha, reward them all!"
After saying this, I suddenly remembered the two wet nurses.
As for the confession presented by Su Peisheng, Yongzheng ordered it to be dismissed with annoyance.
"Noble Lady Shen disregarded the palace rules and plotted to murder the empress and the heir to the throne, and was banished to the cold palace! The Fifth Princess moved to Changchun Palace, and the Imperial Edict was recorded under the name of Concubine Jing."
After saying this, he glanced at Yupin vaguely.
Yupin's face turned pale in an instant, and she held her handkerchief tightly and dared not say anything.
Just two days later, Hong Zhou was reprimanded by Yongzheng for being "idle, unruly, not doing his job properly, hanging out with all kinds of people all day, wasting his time, and returning home to reflect on himself!"
When the news reached the palace, it caused only a small stir.
No one cared except Yubin.
But Hong Zhou felt extremely wronged!
It was the servants around Yubin who went to visit him, and the tone of their words made Hongzhou realize that something was wrong.
"What did mother do?" Hong Zhou stared at Nanny Gu Ruo with a serious face.
Madam Gu Ruo smiled stiffly: "No way, the queen did nothing, she just wanted the Fifth Prince to share the emperor's worries!"
"Really?! I've been playing for so long, why did I get scolded by the Emperor today? Could it be because..."
Hong Zhou spoke very slowly.
I saw sweat on Nanny Gu Ruo's forehead.
Hong Zhou narrowed his eyes and said nothing more, but arranged for the spies in the palace to investigate!
The most recent thing he could think of was that Concubine Shun had given birth to a younger brother for him.
Yes, Concubine Shen was banished to the cold palace!
So, is it that someone is using his name to defraud people or is it that my mother did something?
Hong Zhou's face looked extremely ugly!
I started to read and practice calligraphy.
But after being under house arrest, he paid his respects to Concubine Yu.
Yupin looked him up and down with distressed look.
After finishing his meal, Hong Zhou said, "Mother, our life is good now. The Emperor has never shown any interest in his son! His son is not capable enough to shoulder such a big responsibility. Let's not get involved in other things! Do you think Fourth Brother still doesn't understand?"
When these words came out, Yubin was stunned.
I wanted to say something, but when I saw my son's eyes, I swallowed it back.
Hong Zhou left Zhongcui Palace and went directly to the Yangxin Palace.
He never imagined that the flattery of the court ladies and the fawning of the palace servants would give rise to such great ambitions in his mother's heart!
If it weren’t for the trouble he suffered from his fourth brother a few years ago, he would have almost not come back.
He might also be unwilling!
