Seeing Shirley crying so hard she couldn't breathe, he felt even worse than she did.
He held the person and comforted them gently.
"Master, who killed our child?!" Shirley's eyes were filled with resentment and hatred.
Did Emperor Kangxi understand? He understood it perfectly!
He hated it just the same way, and knowing that he had no descendants made him even more hateful and he wanted to kill!
"Don't worry, leave it to me! I will make them pay the price!" Kangxi hugged her tightly, his eyes filled with ruthlessness!
"I'm sorry, my lord, I failed to protect him! I didn't know he was here, I have to ask for his pulse, sob sob sob..." Xue Li hugged him tightly, as if she had grabbed a piece of driftwood.
"It's alright, I don't blame you! Eat your food and take your medicine properly, he'll come again!" Kangxi stroked her head repeatedly, his eyes filled with bitterness. He would never come again...
"I'll listen to you, Master. I'll take good care of myself. I'll have another child for you, okay? He'll still choose me as his mother, right?!" Shirley's eyes were filled with tears, her face flustered and helpless, her eyes full of hope.
"Of course, my Wulingzhu is the best girl, the best mother!" His eyes were deep, and Xue Li couldn't see the expression in them.
"Master, don't be sad. Master needs to eat well too. You've lost weight..." Shirley was a little tired. She realized that too much emotional fluctuation really does make you tired!
Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but smile, gently stroking her cheek before leaving after she fell asleep.
Within two days, the nephews and nieces of the Tong and Hesheli families were successively kicked out of the center of power.
Emperor Kangxi retaliated in kind, wiping out the descendants of both families!
He spared their lives only because of their past contributions and the goodwill they had shown him!
The Niohuru clan also learned the general cause and effect.
They were also furious.
With Ebilun gone, there was no one left in the family who could hold their own.
The original owner's several spoiled brothers and cousins ganged up and beat the young men of the Hesheli clan.
They attacked once and it didn't work, so they camped out and attacked every day.
Even if the news reached Emperor Kangxi's ears, he would pretend not to know.
Sherry: Tsk, did all those tricks go to Ebilun? ╮(︶﹏︶)╭
After all, at this stage, her family really didn't have any outstanding talents.
That little bit of glory was all thanks to the "Empress".
It was only after Ebilun's son, Alinga, began to distinguish himself, but his rise was short-lived due to political struggles.
Sydney began her period of recuperation at home.
Palace affairs were handed over to Consort Tong, Consort Li, Consort Wanyan, Noble Lady Nara, and Consort Dong.
Perhaps Tong Fei knew what her family had done, because she felt inexplicably guilty when facing Xue Li.
In fact, they often give gifts!
Sherry thinks she's quite cute!
The current development process is completely different from that in history.
Both Suo'etu and Tong Guogang were kicked out of the center of power.
Emperor Kangxi began to promote Han Chinese officials, improve the imperial examination system, and cultivate his confidants.
Finally, in order to win over Han officials and after much consideration, Changrong was chosen as the legitimate heir.
Of course, the women in the harem simply interpreted it as guilt and compensation!
Sherry doesn't mind, she can do whatever she wants!
This investiture was conducted in accordance with the Han Chinese system of primogeniture.
He ordered a thorough investigation of the Imperial Household Department! He hadn't forgotten the powerful connections of those lackeys!
The Imperial Household Department of the Qing Dynasty was the agency responsible for the affairs of the imperial family.
Their responsibilities include managing royal finances, procuring supplies for the palace, and overseeing the daily lives of royal family members.
Corruption was particularly prominent in the Imperial Household Department.
Because the Imperial Household Department controlled the royal family's finances and procurement, officials frequently abused their power to embezzle and accept bribes, enriching themselves at the expense of the royal family.
These officials not only received high salaries, but also embezzled public funds through various means, such as falsifying expenses, purchasing substandard goods, and misappropriating public funds.
These actions not only led to a serious deficit in the royal treasury, but also exacerbated corruption in society.
In addition, officials of the Ministry of the Interior often abused their power to extort money from the people.
They used their position and power to extort and blackmail the people in various ways, and even seized farmland and robbed people of their property.
These actions not only seriously harmed the interests of the people, but also exacerbated social conflicts and instability.
These actions not only led to a severe deficit in the royal treasury and a culture of corruption in society, but also exacerbated social conflicts and instability.
However, due to the power and status of the officials of the Imperial Household Department and the defects of the Qing Dynasty's political system, these problems have never been effectively resolved in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
This time, because he himself was implicated, Kangxi became ruthless and began to thoroughly investigate the Imperial Household Department!
The Imperial Household Department faced utter destruction.
For the first time, Emperor Kangxi realized that the Imperial Household Department had better food and supplies than the royal family.
After confiscating the property, the national treasury increased several times over, as if Kangxi had discovered a novel way to make money.
Some court officials also began to keep a low profile.
On February 19, 1677 (the 16th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign), Consort Ma Jia gave birth to a son.
Due to negligence, the emperor fell ill, and Kangxi handed the infant to the Empress Dowager.
In the first month of the lunar calendar, a small selection was held in the palace!
Historically, members of the Wuya, Juechan, Guoluo, Daijia, and Wanliuha clans all entered the palace!
Among them, Guo Luoluo was generous and straightforward, intelligent and beautiful, with willow-leaf eyebrows, long and narrow phoenix eyes, and a charming gaze. Her waist was as slender as a willow branch, and she had a beautiful figure.
He was greatly favored by Emperor Kangxi and was granted residence in a side hall of the Yikun Palace.
In May of the same year, Consort Guo Luoluo was granted the status of a concubine.
Not long after, Emperor Kangxi took a concubine, a palace maid named Uya, in Consort Tong's Chengqian Palace.
Whether it was Consort Tong's favor or the palace maid's own attempt to climb into the palace is unknown!
After all, Consort Tong wouldn't spread the news and embarrass herself!
In August of the same year, Emperor Kangxi bestowed titles and honors upon the imperial harem.
The specific promotion criteria and process may be influenced by a variety of factors, including court politics, personal talent, and the wishes of Emperor Kangxi.
Because of what happened last year, Consort Tong was granted the title "Ming," becoming Consort Ming.
Ming means to be wise, reasonable, and to uphold justice.
Seven concubines were granted titles, including Consort An (née Li), Consort Jing (née Wanyan), Consort Duan (née Dong), Consort Hui (née Nara), Consort Rong (née Majia), Consort Xi (née Hesheli), and Consort Yi (née Guoluo).
The first three were promoted to the rank of Consort because of their family's merits, while Consort Hui and Consort Rong were promoted because of their meritorious service in giving birth. The latter two were promoted purely because they were favored by the emperor!
Consort An was able to become the head of the seven concubines in Emperor Kangxi's harem because her maternal family held a high position.
Although she was a Han Chinese from the Plain Blue Banner of the Han Army, she was the granddaughter of Li Yongfang, a Han general. Her grandfather had made numerous military achievements for the Qing Dynasty, so when Emperor Kangxi bestowed titles upon the six palaces, Li was made the head of the seven concubines.
Wanyan participated in the selection of concubines from the Outer Eight Banners as a member of the Manchu Bordered Red Banner. She entered the palace in the tenth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign and was only a concubine.
Her family background was also quite good; she was the daughter of Hua Shan, a military commander. Therefore, when Emperor Kangxi bestowed titles upon the six palaces, her status was second only to Consort An.
Consort Duan, née Dong, was a bondservant of the Plain Yellow Banner. She was granted the title of consort because of the military achievements of her uncles and elders.
There's no need to elaborate on Consort Rong; she was the mother of five of Kangxi's first ten sons.
Consort Hui gave birth to Baoqing, the first concubine whom Emperor Kangxi established.
