Number One Cannon Fodder

Chapter 19 The Noble Concubine of Qing Dynasty (End)

"Hello! You actually rebelled together while I was unconscious? Come here, arrest them all!" Shunzhi was stimulated one after another. In addition to anger, he felt more panicked and lost all his composure.

Several important ministers looked livid and looked at Shunzhi in disbelief, "Why did the emperor say this? The emperor was unconscious. It was Prince Xiang who calmed the ministers and suppressed the matter. Otherwise, the country would not be the country, so why did Prince Xiang do anything wrong?" "

"Rebellion! Boguoer! You formed a party to win over these people for personal gain, just to usurp the throne. Don't think that I don't know your thoughts. When Wu Yunzhu chose me, how could you not hate me? You would kindly help me appease me. Courtier? It’s the most ridiculous thing in the world!”

Everyone gasped immediately. Even if everyone knew that Dong E was the sister-in-law you stole, you couldn't tell her! ! So why did you go to such great lengths to cover it up in the first place? The ministers looked at the many palace people around them. It was impossible not to spread this word. They couldn't silence everyone, right? Even their ministers cannot keep silent.

Everyone looked at Bogor in unison, and saw Bogor with his head lowered, and his hands hanging at his sides clenched into fists, as if he was about to explode at any time. But within a moment, Bogor spoke calmly, "The emperor has just woken up, and it is inevitable that he will be unconscious. It is better to wait until the emperor wakes up and then come back to discuss matters in the court. However, the assassination cannot be delayed. Please tell me what happened in Prince An's palace that day? Was Prince An the assassin? Was the imperial concubine involved in this matter?"

When Shunzhi heard him mention Yue Le and Wu Yunzhu, he immediately thought of the cuckold on his head, pointed at Boguoer and yelled, "You just came to mock me today and watch my jokes, right? You clearly know that Wu Yunzhu, that bitch, is not the same as Yue Le." You don't know, but you didn't tell me anything. You just want me to be kept in the dark and betrayed by their adulterous wives! Do you want to take power? Wu Liangfu! Decree that Prince Xiang and others will form a clique for personal gain and remove the title of prince. , imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion.”

Bogor's face turned cold, and he stood up straight and stared at Shunzhi expressionlessly. The other ministers realized what Shunzhi said and suddenly started making noises. An old minister was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "I think how wise the late emperor was and how brave the regent was, but today the Holy Emperor is deceived by the enchantress and cannot distinguish between right and wrong. Our Qing Dynasty is about to perish! I feel sorry for the late emperor and my ancestors." Zong…”

Sony, Obai and others were also fed up with Hunjun's behavior, and took the opportunity to say: "Prince Xiang is devoted to the country, please think twice before acting, and Dong E's family is a disaster, please Your Majesty execute Dong E's family."

"You..." Shunzhi felt for a moment that he had been betrayed by everyone. These were all his ministers, and now they actually resisted him for Boguoer. Isn't this a rebellion? He has never felt as clearly as now that he has no confidants. Yue Le, who he once trusted so much, dares to cuckold him. Who is he, the emperor?

Shunzhi was in a state of confusion, and the injured back of his head started to hurt again. He picked up the medicine bowl and threw it to the ground, "Get out! Get out of here!"

Bogor narrowed his eyes, turned around and strode away. The other ministers looked at each other and quickly retreated. The emperor had just scolded them for treason and wanted to arrest them. If they didn't leave now, it would be difficult to get out of jail if they were really caught.

After walking for a while, Bogor stopped and looked back at Qianqing Palace, his eyes full of worry, then he shook his head, sighed, and turned around to leave.

Seeing him like this, several ministers sighed in low voices.

"It's hard for Prince Xiang. He is so devoted to serving the country but he is so doubted. Your Majesty... Well, what should we do if this continues? Just now, the Emperor didn't mention the assassination at all. Do you want to protect Dong E's family?"

"We were entrusted by the late emperor to assist the new emperor in developing the Qing Dynasty. We are ashamed of the late emperor..."

"No! We can't continue like this! How many things have happened since the emperor took charge? Moreover, the emperor is indifferent to the queen mother and is extremely cold. Instead, he allows the evil concubine to murder the concubine and the prince. This is really not what a wise king did."

"Yeah, ridiculous..."

The low voices of discussion seemed to be blown away by the wind at any time, but the meaning behind the words was firmly engraved in the hearts of several ministers. Obai had the most violent temper and blurted out that it would be better to let Bogor become the emperor. As soon as he said this, he could be regarded as expressing the feelings of several people. They looked at each other and understood each other.

That night, Prince Xiang's Mansion was brightly lit, with more than a dozen carriages parked at the back door. In Bogor's study, Sony and other ministers sincerely requested Bogor to lead everyone to clear the emperor's side and not to let Shunzhi destroy the ancestral foundation.

Boguoer naturally refused sternly, "I am also a descendant of the Aisin Gioro family. I should do whatever I can for the Qing Dynasty. When my brother recovers from his illness, I will help him. You don't need to say anything more."

Everyone tried to persuade them again and again, but Bogor did not relent at all. Finally, he ordered them to leave and walked away.

Everyone went back to discuss and think deeply, and came again the next night to ask for persuasion, but Bogor still calmly refused.

On the third day, news suddenly came from the palace that Shunzhi went to Tianlao to see Yue Le when he was still well. He even stabbed Yue Le with a sword and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to give Yue Le a severe punishment. This was Shunzhi venting his anger. Although it made people feel a little chilling, they didn't think much about it. After all, Yue Le and Dong E's family were closely connected and hurt the emperor, so they deserved it.

But no one expected that after being tortured, Yue Le confessed all the secrets he knew, including the Queen Mother's murder of Boguoer, Shunzhi's murder of Dorgon and other major secrets!

No one among the ministers was neutral anymore, and they all rushed to the Prince Xiang’s mansion to persuade Boguer. This time, after listening to them list the countless crimes of Shunzhi, Boguer was silent for a long time, and finally knelt down and bowed three times to Changshengtian, and agreed to their request with tears.

Su Xueyun has been staying at home for a while, and it is not appropriate for her to do anything at this time. Although she knows that her son is putting on a show recently, this show has to be done. Almost every emperor who has ascended to the throne will experience such a show. Even if everyone knows that it is an act, it will be written into history as a touching story of a hero. However, Boguer has been with her, the queen of the screen, for so long, and his acting skills can be mistaken for the real thing. She saw that many ministers did not find that Boguer had the intention of usurping the throne. This is very good, and the imperial power will be more stable in the future.

Boguer had received a lot of help from the army before going to the battlefield. In addition, he had been operating in Beijing for so long, so he did not encounter much obstacles in forcing the palace. Now only Wu Liangfu and Su Mahui would desperately lead people to stop him, but it was a pity that it was useless.

Shunzhi looked at Boguer who walked in with people, his face was pale. Boguer ordered people to invite him to Yongshou Palace for rest without waiting for him to say anything, but in fact, Shunzhi and the empress dowager were confined.

Boguer ascended the throne, named Shunzhi as Prince Shun, and moved into Dorgon's residence before his death. Xiaozhuang moved into Ci'an Palace and was still respected as the empress dowager. Su Xueyun naturally moved into Cining Palace and became the splendid Holy Mother Empress Dowager! Boguer was busy establishing prestige and controlling the imperial power. Su Xueyun was also busy rectifying the harem and started to select a queen for Boguer.

When screening the information of the ladies, Su Xueyun suddenly remembered Dong E and asked casually, "How is Dong E? Is she still imprisoned in Tianlao?"

Wulan thought for a while and replied: "Master, Dong E was sentenced to death and will be executed in the autumn."

"Death penalty?" Su Xueyun narrowed her eyes. Namu Zhong's wish made them live a life worse than death. How could she die so simply? Life was so smooth that she almost forgot the important task. She thought about how to arrange Dong E, and suddenly smiled after a moment.

A few days later, a death row prisoner was imprisoned in place of Wu Yunzhu, and another sick death row prisoner was imprisoned in Prince Shun's mansion in place of Fulin. The real Wu Yunzhu and Fulin were escorted to Korqin and handed over to Mengguqing. Su Xueyun believed that Mengguqing would definitely let them live a colorful life and feel life well!

After choosing the queen, Su Xueyun went to Ci'an Palace to visit the seriously ill Xiaozhuang. Boguer once proposed to demote Xiaozhuang with her crimes, but Su Xueyun felt that letting Xiaozhuang sit in the position of the queen mother but not being able to control power was the most painful thing for her, and this would also make people praise Boguer for his kindness. Now Xiaozhuang is surrounded by people arranged by Su Xueyun, and no one will listen to Xiaozhuang's orders. Their only task is to take good care of Xiaozhuang so that she can't die even if she wants to.

Xiaozhuang was very excited to see Su Xueyun, her eyes full of hatred, "You finally succeeded! What did you do to Fulin? I want to see Fulin!"

Su Xueyun was standing not far from the bed, but Xiaozhuang tried her best to hit her but couldn't reach her. She admired Xiaozhuang's helpless look for a while, and smiled faintly: "You said... What would happen if the assassins you sent killed Boguer? If I lost my beloved son and became bedridden, what would you do to me?"

Xiaozhuang stared at her, "Humph! Everyone knows that Boguer usurped the throne and murdered his brother. You and your son will be despised for the rest of your lives!"

Su Xueyun smiled and shook her head, "Fulin How could the world despise a wise ruler who was incompetent and unjust, while Boguer worked for the country and the people? On the contrary, the story of you and your son murdering Dorgon and Boguer was widely spread, and I believe this time will be infamous for thousands of years. "

There were only two of them in the room. Su Xueyun looked at her and slowly told everything that happened to Namu Zhong before her death like telling a story. Seeing Xiaozhuang's horrified expression, Su Xueyun smiled slightly, "You guessed right, Namu Zhong came back for revenge, and this has just begun."

"You!" Xiaozhuang was too excited and fainted. When she woke up, she had a stroke and paralysis, with crooked eyes and crooked mouth. She was really living a life worse than death.

Fulin and Wuyunzhu, who were far away in Korchin, were not much better than her. Mengguqing asked them to be husband and wife and serve as slaves of the tribe to take charge of the dirtiest and worst jobs. If they were disobedient, they would be whipped, and if they were annoying, they would be given mute medicine. Fulin and Wuyunzhu were scared by the beatings and dared not resist. Mengguqing could not bear to commit suicide either, so they could only blame each other. They could not speak, and they would punch and kick each other every time they were unhappy. There was almost no peace. Wuyunzhu was beaten to disfigure her, and Fulin was beaten to limp his leg... The couple who used to disregard ethics and the world for true love lived like this torturing each other.

Every night, the two of them slept in the same bed but had different dreams. Shunzhi thought about Mengguqing who had treated him with sincerity, and Wuyunzhu thought about Boguer who had held her in the palm of his hand. Unfortunately... they could never experience the sincerity of others again.

One day, Su Xueyun saw Namu Zhong in her dream. Namu Zhong was wearing a fiery red riding suit and had a hearty smile on her face. She thanked Su Xueyun with gratitude, and dispersed all her resentment and went to reincarnation with relief.

Su Xueyun knew that she had completed her mission in this life, and she could live her life according to her own wishes in the future. She first helped Boghor stabilize the harem, protect every child born, and prevent any insidious means from appearing in the harem. After the two legitimate sons born by the queen turned ten years old, she left the palace in plain clothes and traveled all over the country, acting as the emperor's eyes and ears among the people, and solving countless problems for Boghor that involved deceiving his superiors and subordinates.

Boguer was deeply influenced by her. He treated his children as a father first and a monarch second. The eldest son born by the queen was made the crown prince at the age of fifteen. He served as the crown prince for twenty years, but it did not affect the relationship between father and son. When he abdicated and handed over power to the crown prince, Su Xueyun's life in this life also came to an end.

Su Xueyun lay on the bed, watching her dark guard leader recognize the crown prince as the master, and said with some effort: "Back then... when your father ascended the throne... the royal mother gave him half of the dark guards. Now... you are going to ascend the throne, and the royal mother will give you the other half. Remember... to be a wise monarch and benefit the people."

The crown prince took a deep breath to stop himself from crying, and looked at Su Xueyun's eyes and solemnly promised: "Grandson, remember this, don't worry, royal mother."

Su Xueyun nodded gently, held Boguer's hand, looked at the many descendants of this life one by one, smiled and closed her eyes, and left this world peacefully.
