Chapter 100: The 100th Day of Wanting to Die

Ge Jing and Tana did encounter some troubles. In addition to civil officials, the Dali Temple also had a large number of military officers.

After all, he is the one in charge of trying cases, so his temper is somewhat fierce.

At first, I was a little surprised to learn that two princesses were coming to handle the case, but after I realized it, I felt a little dissatisfied.

Why does the princess show herself in public?

Moreover, the tradition since ancient times is that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Women who interfere in government affairs are evil women who bring chaos to the dynasty.

From ancient times to the present, women's involvement in government affairs would cause unrest in the court.

It will cause people to spit on it and leave a bad reputation for thousands of years.

Even Wu Meiniang, who successfully became the emperor, finally handed over the Tang Dynasty to the Li family. She didn't even dare to carve words on the stele. Wasn't that because she felt guilty and wronged?

The princesses of the Qing Dynasty were used to comfort each other.

Your Majesty, aren’t you afraid of pulling your hips when you take such big steps?

The two princesses actually participated in politics. You know, they will marry into the grassland in the future. Isn't this directly sending the important government affairs and some confidential events of the Qing Dynasty to the mouths of the grassland tribes?

When women marry, they follow their husbands, and the grassland is their final home.

A ready-made example is the current Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager came from the grassland, but she is not yet completely determined to stay in the harem.

Some of the princes even wanted to kill the prince and take the throne themselves. The children of the royal family have always been cruel since ancient times.

Isn't the emperor afraid of letting out two biting wolves and causing trouble for himself?

The issue of Galdan had not yet been resolved, and Emperor Kangxi had even led two personal expeditions to this end. Now he was saying that he was waiting for the other side's envoys to come and ask for peace, but it had already been the first month of the year and there was no news at all.

The Emperor is so anxious to replenish the national treasury now, isn't he preparing for his third expedition?

Moreover, the emperor is actually harming the princess!

If they had sent a stupid princess, the grassland tribal leaders would have treated her well. But if they had sent someone who had done real work and was familiar with the rules, regulations and confidential matters of the Qing Dynasty, wouldn't that be forcing them to deal with the princess and tell her everything they knew?

Now the superficial peace between Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty is maintained entirely by in-laws.

There were Mongolian tribes that were unwilling to submit to the outside world, and the few tribes that submitted were also not honest.

How could the emperor be so generous?

Everyone felt that the emperor's actions were becoming more and more bold and absurd.

It has violated the Confucian tradition and even more so the ancestral laws.

The Manchus say they respect Confucian culture, but deep down they still look down on the Han people.

Once the princess's involvement in politics is exposed today, just wait and see, tomorrow those ministers will definitely vent all their grievances today.

The princes didn't dare to complain because they were not sure whether the prince would really take the throne in the end. But the princesses had no chance of becoming emperor. They were more likely to marry into Mongolia, so they posed no threat to them at all.

If they can’t touch the prince, can they touch the princess?

Princess Gejing is old enough, and it's time for her to prepare for her marriage.

Moreover, the fourth princess's son, Guo Luomafa, was not a high-ranking official.

Although the fifth princess had no background, she had several older brothers and younger brothers.

Let's not talk about the Fourth Prince. The Emperor and the Crown Prince think highly of him. He even spent more than half a month in the south to plant rice. If rice can really be planted in the south, the Fourth Prince's popularity among the people will be unmatched by anyone else.

Another elder brother is the Sixth Prince, who is now almost the most pampered. He once clamored to eliminate the bad habit of foot binding for all women in the world. For this purpose, he even invented a new spinning machine, which increased the efficiency of spinning dozens of times.

Now spinning machines have been gradually promoted.

There was even a bicycle two days ago.

The most important thing is that he eradicated smallpox, and he also set an example by taking the Fourteenth Prince to be vaccinated against cowpox, proving to the whole world that smallpox can really be prevented with cowpox.

He wasn't lying.

Let alone the Fourteenth Prince, he is still young, but the first two princes are enough to save face for the Fifth Princess.

But they are not in a hurry. From ancient times to the present, women have to get married. The worst that can happen is that they just have to wait a few more years.

Ge Jing had a good temper and noticed that the people being interrogated were very impatient with her and Tana.

She wasn't angry either.

After all, this was something she had expected.

When the Emperor assigned tasks in the afternoon, he made no distinction between her, Tana, and the brothers, and did not give any instructions.

This made Ge Jing feel very comfortable. If the emperor gave her a lot of instructions, she would feel pressured. Now it was just right.

This shows that the Emperor trusts them and treats them equally.

Several younger brothers were also sent out to work, so she and Tana had to try even harder. Even though they couldn't do as well as their older brothers, they couldn't do worse than these younger brothers.

During the interrogation process, the higher the official's rank, the more he or she would put on a show. Just arguing with them was enough to exhaust Ge Jing and Tana.

Fortunately, the guards that the Emperor asked them to bring were relatively loyal and reliable.

Whatever they said was true, they had picked out a few suspicious people and lived up to the emperor's trust in them.

The interrogation was almost over. Ge Jing rubbed his brows and said to the outsiders: "Call the rest of the people over."

By this time, the officials could no longer suppress their anger.

"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess. I wonder if the Emperor knows what the two princesses have done?"

Ge Jing raised her eyebrows calmly. She and her sister sat in the main seats, looking down at the people below.

There was no surprise reaction at all.

It can be said that she and Tana have gotten used to it. When everyone does not know that it is the princess who is interrogating them, they come in respectfully, but their expressions immediately change when they see Her Royal Highness the Princess in a riding suit.

"Your Highness should set an example for all women in the world. Aren't you afraid that it will be detrimental to national unity if you show up in public in the middle of the night?"

The princess needs to be comforted.

What would the Mongolian princes think when word of this spread?

Ge Jing repeated again: "Don't worry about that. If they don't like me, then it's not impossible for the emperor to choose a girl of the right age from the ministers' families to be named the Princess of the Qing Dynasty. I will recommend her to the ministers. You all have daughters, right?"

Ge Jing said sorry to those girls in his heart, it was their father who provoked him first.

I'm just going back.

Tana also said: "We are here under the order of the emperor. We ask all the ministers to cooperate and not waste each other's time."

"That's ridiculous, Your Majesty... Humph!"

He originally wanted to say something outrageous about the emperor, but after thinking about it, he decided to give it up. He thought that what the princesses said was true, considering that they were just former guards.

But it is this preference that makes them dissatisfied.

It would be better to have an unfavored prince instead. Their cooperation would help them improve their reputation and leave a better impression in front of the other princes.

Now I can only kneel on the ground in frustration and accept the princess's interrogation one by one. It makes me sick just thinking about it.

Seeing that they had calmed down, Ge Jing raised his chin towards Tana. After a whole afternoon of cooperation, the two of them had already reached a very good understanding.

One is responsible for questioning, and the other is responsible for intimidation.

Before you begin.

The ministers are still dithering.

"There are differences between men and women. Your Highness, please keep your distance from me."

Tana was amused: "Your face is as wrinkled as a dry tree bark, and you still have the nerve to say that. If it weren't for official business, no one would want to talk to you."

Tana was really impressed.

"Men and women should not sit together after the age of seven. Your Highness the Princess is rude, but we are polite... The saints are right. Only women and villains are difficult to raise."

Tana continued to retort: ​​"I don't want you to support me. You are receiving a salary from the Qing Dynasty and are supported by my father. Do you have other sources of income? If so, I'm sorry, Lord Wang. I will complain to my father when I get home."

The Emperor loved her the most and had never let her suffer such an injustice.

Tana was simply convinced.

Who likes to argue with them? She doesn't want to see Lord Wang's ugly face.

"You, you..., since Your Highness Princess said so, it really chills my heart. Don't blame me for reporting you to the Emperor tomorrow."

Lord Wang’s beard was shaking with anger.

Ge Jing added: "Remember to add the title of this princess. I am with the emperor's sister."

"Okay, very good."

Lord Wang has already prepared a draft in his mind.

During the interrogation, Lord Wang certainly had no questions. He was a very conservative person and he didn't like the new thing of smoking.

As he gets older, he dares not get close to this thing because he values ​​his life very much.

Outside the door, Kangxi was standing with Xiaoliu.

They have been listening for a while.

Kangxi remained expressionless, but Yin Zhuo almost couldn't help but go in and scold them.

The time spent on procrastination and making things difficult for Fourth Sister and Tana was almost longer than the time spent on interrogation.

No wonder there are so many officials in the Dali Temple now. It's all because of these people who are deliberately slacking off.

They deserved to be saved for last.

Just let them wait.

Yin Zhuo looked at the two packages in his hands, which were filled with chocolates. He couldn't help but open his wallet and put some more chocolates in.

[Damn it, I'm eating your rice, why do you care so much? Who passed down the rule that boys and girls should sit at different tables after the age of seven? Humph, I even sat at the same table with a girl when I was in school, and nothing happened to me. I can only say that adults have really dirty minds to think like this. If they knew that the girl would get divorced and remarry or remarry for the third time in the future, would they be so angry that they would die? A bunch of living fossils, curse your rotten tongues. ]

Yin Zhuo secretly drew a circle and cursed those who talked about Fourth Sister and Tana. It really made people angry.

Lord Wang criticized Qiao for a while, and when he saw that the two princesses had released them all, he immediately became righteous.

He even walked in a pretentious manner. Although the others were not as exaggerated as him, they were still somewhat disrespectful.

They all left without waiting for the fourth and fifth princesses to speak.

Before leaving, he said, "Don't worry, I will bring the two princesses' words to the emperor tomorrow."

Ge Jing smiled slightly: "Ministers are really hard-working. They have to stay up late to write memorials when they return. This princess will not see you off. Goodbye."

It was already late, and the ministers, who were already unhappy, became even more resentful when they heard that they had to stay up all night to write memorials.

It's really frustrating.

Humph, but it doesn’t matter. Don’t blame them for exaggerating.

Who knew that as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Kangxi in bright yellow standing beside him. Next to him was the Sixth Prince wearing prince's clothes. The Sixth Prince was holding two packages in his hands, and the packages were tied with pink butterfly ribbons.

Yin Zhuo smiled and said, "I just came here and heard that the ministers had something to say to the Emperor. Well, the Emperor is right here. Just tell me what you want to say. The Emperor won't blame you."

Several ministers were so frightened by the Sixth Prince's smiling tiger look that they broke into cold sweats and knelt down on the doorstep.

"Greetings to the Emperor, and to the Sixth Prince."

My voice is shaking when I speak.

Why is the emperor here?

Just now the Sixth Prince said that they had just arrived, so they probably didn’t hear what happened before.

But then I thought, what does it matter if they heard it? The princess was also very rude to them.

And they threatened them.

But Her Royal Highness the Princess was sent by the Emperor, and now she is waiting here overnight, maybe she is here to pick someone up.

This is a bit troublesome.

Lord Wang was quick-witted. It was the emperor who pushed the princess into the Shangshufang, and then girls were able to take the imperial examinations and go to school.

Therefore, now is not the time to fall out with the princesses.

"I am guilty, but I also have a hard time speaking out about my sufferings."

Lord Wang held Kangxi's legs, looking as if he had a lot of pain to say but couldn't express it. If you didn't know better, you would have thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess was torturing him.

Yin Zhuo ignored him and walked past them, accidentally stepping on the clothes of a minister.

Yin Zhuo said quickly, "I'm really sorry, excuse me, you guys are so tactless that you've blocked the road so badly."

Yin Zhuo originally wanted to be a polite prince.

But when I looked up, I found that they were all stuck at the threshold, blocking the road.

The ministers could only stand aside in grievance. Without the emperor's words, they dared not even stand up.

Kangxi knew what Xiaoliu was doing and wanted to give the gifts to his two daughters.

He didn't say anything, just let everyone kneel and watched Xiaoliu walk away.

Sure enough, Xiaoliu waved the things in his hand flatteringly: "Here, I know that the two princes are busy, so I brought them specially. Your Highness Princess has been wronged, please use the chocolate~ It's delicious, especially sweet."

Yin Zhuo's behavior made the kneeling ministers confused.

No, has the situation in the palace changed again?

Why is the Sixth Prince so respectful to the Fourth and Fifth Princesses?

What else did they hear about Princess Please Use Chocolate?

What is Sixth Prince doing?

Lost favor? Lost brain?

No, not only did he say that, he also bowed 90 degrees respectfully.

The Sixth Prince must be sick.
