Since ancient times, emperors were suspicious, and traitors were unable to obtain the Imperial Letter.
Luck quietly descended upon them, and they gained the favor of a king.
At the end of February, Yao Qisheng, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang province, captured the sea altar, destroyed Xiamen, while Heschen and Peizhou successively surrendered, while Zhu Tiangui, an important general of Taiwan's Zhengjing navy, led more than 600 officials, more than 20,000 troops and more than 300 ships to clear the sea. Zheng Jing failed at the last part of the mainland and was forced to flee back to Taiwan with only 1,000 people. In the southern battlefield, another powerful enemy was defeated and the rebel forces were left with only Wu Shizhong as the Qing army began their final confrontation with Wu Shizhong!
It was March and spring again, but Xuan Ye was still a little troubled. After dinner, he turned Rong'er's cards and brought him to the imperial garden to rest.
"Rong'er, it's springtime. Ever since Wu Sangui betrayed the family for twelve years, our family has been in turmoil for seven years!" Xuan Ye sighed softly as he looked at the tender green sprout on the tree
Yes, it has been seven years. In the past, the young emperor had already become a stable monarch, and she had already become a young woman. There were many other sisters in the palace, and everything was changing, but she knew that Xuan Ye was suddenly emotional, and something must have happened in his mind, "Your majesty, has the war in the south gone smoothly? But is there something bothering you? "
"Ah, the one who knows me is Rong'er. Yes, I am annoyed, but it is not because of the war, the war went smoothly." Ah, the one who knows me is Rong'er, yes, I am frustrated, but it is not because of the war. Xuan Ye sighed lightly. "It's something else that bothers me."
"May I know if you are willing to speak with your concubine?" Rong'er asked softly.
"I won't tell you if I can't tell you. It's about Shang's letter." Xuan Ye frowned slightly. "On the first day of the month, we sent Shang's letter to Guangxi to pacify the rebel army there. However, yesterday, the guard Zhang Yongxiang rushed from Guangxi to the capital and confessed many of Shang's crimes!"
"Is it serious?" Rong'er asked Xuan Ye in a soft voice. Although she did ask this, she knew in her heart that it must be a very serious matter. Otherwise, Xuan Ye wouldn't have been so troubled.
Xuan Ye nodded his head heavily, "The first of the two crimes is to accuse Shang Zhe of being cruel and cruel. The other sin is to accuse the generals of being maimed and injurious, while the other sin is to claim that Shang Zhe's heart has never fully surrendered to the Great Qing. He is still watching the battle between the Qing army and Wu Shi rebel army and is still looking for an opportunity to plot against them."
Rong'er paused for a moment before revealing his first instinct. "According to chenqie, being brutal is the truth. If you want to betray the family, then you should be investigated. After all, his soldiers are complaining to him. Untruthful actions are inevitable."
Xuan Ye suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Rong'er. He raised his voice and said, "Traitorous is a great sin, how could we dare to wrongly accuse him? Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with this matter. If we can betray the Great Qing once, we can betray the Great Qing for the second time!"
Rong'er looked at Xuan Ye's expression and was very surprised. She hadn't thought that her unintentional words would cause such a huge reaction from him.
Xuan Ye also realized that his reaction had been too much. He let out a dry laugh and said, "Of course, I'm not an immoral ruler. I will send someone to investigate secretly and convict him based on his words alone."
Perhaps she had already understood that Xuan Ye was the heart of an emperor, and there was no room for sand in his eyes. These people who had betrayed him before would probably die in order for him to feel at ease. Thinking up to here, Rong'er couldn't help but shiver slightly.
Suddenly, there was a voice in front of them, as if an elder standing beside Xuan Ye had stopped them. Rong'er looked over and saw that the one being stopped was actually Toya. Rong'er smiled at Xuan Ye and said, "Liang has agreed."
Xuan Ye nodded and instructed the counselor beside him, "Have her come."
"Yes sir!" The advisor acknowledged and hurriedly shouted at the eunuchs in front of him, "The emperor has an order, have Liang agree to come."
Toya was surprised that she would run into the Emperor and Rong'er here, her expression still somewhat terrified, like Xuan Ye and Rong'er bowing.
Rong'er smiled as he walked over, asking softly, "Why is little sister here?"
"I... This subject … "After eating dinner, chenqie took a stroll in the imperial garden. I didn't expect to run into the emperor and his concubine." After all, it was too difficult for her to see Xuan Ye once she agreed. She could only steal a glance at him during the ceremony in the palace, as this was the closest she had ever been to Xuan Ye ever since she had taken care of him in the empress dowager's palace. At that time, Xuan Ye's sorrowful death had already been deeply engraved in her heart.
"Your majesty!" Rong'er smiled as he turned around. "What a coincidence. It's been a long time since the emperor agreed."
Xuan Ye gently nodded his head, as if he had forgotten about this woman for a very long time. In the past, this woman was still special, but before, bits and pieces of her memories began to appear in his mind, and the ones that he remembered the most were those nights when she accompanied him to send off his longevity. At that time, she was only a twelve or thirteen year old girl, and if he thought about it carefully, she should be sixteen or seventeen years old by now.
When she looked at Toya again, her already rosy face had turned even redder, revealing a bashful, delicate beauty. Rong'er looked at her and laughed softly. "Liang agreed to be very popular with the empress dowager. She's like her title is sealed, and has a very gentle personality."
"I seem to have heard the empress dowager mention it before. That's right, she's the one who was doted on by the empress dowager the moment we entered the palace. Back then, before the end of our lifespan, she and I had always taken care of it. At that time, it wasn't easy for a young age to take care of it all by herself."
At the mention of longevity, Rong'er couldn't help but feel a bit sad. Seeing the look of appreciation in Toya's eyes as well as Toya's shy face, Rong'er knew that it was Toya's luck that had come. She would be favored by the emperor.
Rong'er's guess was correct. The next day, Xuan Ye played the cards he had promised; of course, Rong'er's guess about Xuan Ye was also correct. Two months later, Xuan Ye ordered Shang's letter to be arrested, and Xuan Ye was immediately executed …
