Chapter 1729 Escort

Although the maids around Hai Qing didn't completely trust the princess, but her master did, she dared not distrust her.

If it is really not the crown princess, could it be the Guerjia family who is also pregnant?

Because they were all pregnant, the Guarjia family felt the competition, so did they attack Grid?

But Gege's pregnancy has never been made public. How did the Guerjia family know that Gege was pregnant?

Forget it, don't think about it, it's important for her to take good care of Princess.

On the same day, the Crown Princess ordered people to strictly investigate all suspicious things in Haiqing Courtyard.

At night, a suspicious white jade hairpin was found from Haiqing House.

The hairpin was given to Haiqing by the crown prince. Haiqing likes it very much on weekdays and wears it almost every day.

And the hollow design of the hairpin contained musk powder.

After careful investigation by the princess and the people under the prince, it was found that the trial marriage was done by Gegemeler.

Mellor's is only a trial marriage court lady, but she is the prince's first woman.

To be precise, it was the prince who became a man's test subject.

But the backyard of the East Palace entered the palace one by one. When Haiqing was not favored at first, she was still ranked second to last in the backyard.

Gradually, after Hai Qing began to gain favor, she became the last woman in the backyard of the East Palace.

Mailer felt annoyed because he had a high starting point but fell behind.

One day, Mailer's servant happened to see the imperial physician coming out of Haiqing's courtyard.

Still behind the rockery, she overhears that Haiqing is pregnant.

Therefore, Mailer's jealousy was ignited at that moment!

She bought the little eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and tampered with the jewelry that the crown prince bestowed on Hai Qing, so that Hai Qing became popular.

It was night, and the prince ordered that Mei Le's staff should be killed.

He also executed the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were doing things with the stick.

In the days that followed, the princess was also worried about Haiqing, and often ordered her relatives, the imperial physician, to give Haiqing a safe pulse.

Since Haiqing is just a princess, there are only two or three servants in the courtyard.

She also allocated a few trusted servants from the main courtyard to Hai Qing.

The princess is also like an experienced big sister. As someone who has been there, she imparts her childbirth experience to Haiqing and escorts Haiqing throughout the process!

As a princess, in order to avoid the uneven bowl of water in the backyard, which would cause discord, she would also reward Guarjia with some things, and occasionally visit Guarjia.

It's just that the Crown Princess went to Guarjia's, just for show.

Going to Haiqing is sincere.

As for the crown prince, there is no need for the crown princess to remind him, and he can have a bowl of water.

As long as Haiqing is rewarded, the Guarjia family will also have a share.

The crown princess's reward is naturally the only one for the first wife.

In the following time, the crown prince was busy with the affairs of the DPRK and China with the fourth master.

In addition to handing over some matters to the prince, fourth master also stood on the last post of the emperor.

In the ninth year of Yongzheng, on October 10, Siye established the "Tingji" system.

The establishment of the "Tingji" system further strengthened the connection between the central government and the local government, allowing the emperor's will to reach the local government unimpeded.

In December, the fourth master awarded the plaque of the imperial book in the Beijing Yamen.

On the basis of rectifying the administration of officials, Siye, in order to make all the yamen in Beijing truly fulfill their duties.

He specially inscribed plaques for these yamen with his own handwriting, not only as an encouragement to them, but also as a strict requirement for them. There are a total of 21 plaques.

In February of the tenth year of Yongzheng, the fourth master sent people to reform many lands and bring them back to the people! ! !

In mid-March, Si Ye further deprived the Eight Banners of their rights, and the Eight Banners were all controlled by the emperor himself.

Any power that affects the exercise of imperial power in the Eight Banners no longer exists, and it also marks the actual disappearance of the banner owner's power!

In the first ten days of April, the fourth master set up the official school of Xian'an Palace.

Xian'an Palace Official School is a school for children of the Upper Three Banners among the Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty.

In mid-April, the Qing army and the Zhunbu fought against Guangxian Temple.

On the third day of May, a generation of poets in the south of the Yangtze River wrote a poem "Missing the Ming Dynasty, but not the present dynasty", slandering the Qing Dynasty, which was a great rebellion.

After discussion by the ministers of state affairs, the Ministry of Justice and other yamen, and approved by the fourth master, according to the crime of disrespect in the "Law of the Qing Dynasty", all the manuscripts of poems that wanted to set off anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty were also burned.

In mid-May, he also promulgated the policy of "Officials and Gentlemen Unite as One to Pay for Errands".

Here, in addition to paying money, food and taxes, ordinary people also participate in "voluntary labor" organized by the government such as embankment building, river harnessing, road construction, and transportation, which is also a supplement to taxation.

But before that, in order to win over scholars, the emperors of all dynasties implemented the system that scholars and officials were not taxed or served on errands.

All scholars with fame and reputation, even if they are only scholars, are not allowed to pay their salary or work as errands.

As a result, many landowners took advantage of the loopholes in the system and invested their land in tax-exempt scholars to avoid taxation, causing a large loss of Qing tax revenue.

Only then did Si Ye implement the system of "officials and gentry working together to pay food for errands".

Officials and scholars who have always regarded themselves as high-minded not only have to pay taxes out of their pockets, but also participate in heavy physical labor among the sweaty farmers.

To them, this is simply sweeping the floor and losing their superior privileges.

Originally, when the imperial court ordered the execution of those poets and the burning of those manuscripts, many literati were filled with resentment.

Now that they are asked to pay taxes, can the officials and gentry not hate it?

But the fourth master threatened, "I would rather offend all scholars than implement the New Deal!"

On May 16th of the tenth year of Yongzheng, bad news suddenly came from the capital. Prince Yi Yunxiang died of illness! ! !

Thirteenth Master was ill before, and he deliberately concealed it from Fourth Master. He didn't show up for a few days on the grounds that he wanted to travel to the south of the Yangtze River.

I don't know if it's because he doesn't want fourth master to worry about him, or because he doesn't want the brothers to experience face-to-face parting.

Fourth master didn't know the news until he died of illness.

At this moment, after listening to Su Peisheng's report, fourth master's wrist, which was reviewing the memorial, trembled slightly.

He asked in a low voice: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

At the beginning of the year, Shisan also said that he would go to the south of the Yangtze River for fun.

Who knew that after receiving news of Shisan again, he had died of illness!

Su Peisheng knelt down and replied tremblingly: "I don't know why Prince Yi did this, but I have the last words of Lord Shisan, which was given to you by Thirteen Fujin."

With that said, Su Peisheng handed the letter to Fourth Master.

After fourth master took it, he didn't rush to open the letter.

Instead, he stared at the yellowed envelope for a few seconds before opening it unhurriedly.

After confirming the handwriting of the thirteenth master, the fourth master began to read the contents of the letter.

"Dear brother,

When you read this letter, I may have died of illness.

Although my younger brother is in the south of the Yangtze River, I have also heard about your punishment of the poets in the south of the Yangtze River.

Regardless of what other people say, in the eyes of my ministers, you are the number one person who has been diligent in governing and caring for the people since ancient times.

But what the late emperor left behind was a mess full of gold and jade, but rotten inside.
