Chapter 262 Yinreng’s Thoughts
The weather gradually became warmer. In the spring of the second year of Kaiyuan, the emperor moved the place where he handled government affairs to Shoukang Garden. The court session was moved from Qianqing Palace to Zhan Ningju, and the original banquet venue was also changed and named Wanchun Hall.
The Grand Empress Dowager's residence was called Ciren Hall, after the first two characters of Ciren Palace. The Emperor and Empress lived in Fengwu Palace, the Crown Prince's was the East Palace, and Princess Jingyi and the other princes lived in Wuwei Hall.
As for the concubines from the former harem, they still lived in the Forbidden City. Yinreng asked Concubine Yi to manage them temporarily, and when they returned to the palace for a short stay, Buerhe would take over.
It doesn't mean that the emperor will stay in Shoukang Garden and not return to the palace in the future. The main reason is that the Empress Dowager's condition is not good. For her sake, Yinreng decided not to return to the Forbidden City this year.
At the same time, he did not show favoritism and gave some small gardens near Shoukang Garden to his close brothers, as a reward for their hard work for the court in recent years.
That night, the sky was dark, the stars twinkled, and the entire garden was immersed in tranquility. After a long day of hard work, Yinreng and Buerhe were finally able to relax, sitting opposite each other on the warm kang, savoring the fragrant fruit tea together.
The fragrance of the fruit tea permeates the air, leaving one feeling relaxed and refreshed. Not only is this fruit tea rich and sweet, but even when consumed at night, it doesn't affect sleep quality. On the contrary, it promotes digestion, allowing for a more restful and comfortable sleep while enjoying its delicious flavor.
Yinreng gently took a sip of the fruit tea in his cup, then slowly put it down. He looked at Buerhe with gentle eyes and said softly, "My dear, I have been thinking about something. I think it's time to let Hongye start helping with government affairs. After all, if he is familiar with some matters earlier, he will be able to handle them calmly when he takes over in the future without being so flustered."
After hearing what Yinreng said, there was no obvious change in expression on Buerhe's face, but a ripple of emotion arose in his heart.
Over the years, she had lived in the Qing court for a long time and had a certain understanding of the minds and methods of those who held power. Therefore, when Yinreng said this, the first thought in her mind was - could it be that the emperor was deliberately testing Hongye?
It’s not that Buerhe was blamed for thinking too much, because when she first married into the palace, Emperor Kangxi also used a similar method to test his son.
Now, time has passed and the scene has changed, but a similar plot seems to be happening again, except that the protagonist this time has changed from husband to son.
Despite their doubts, however, their long-standing bond finally took hold. Rather than remain silent or speculate, Burhe asked directly, "Your Majesty, are you planning to use this opportunity to test the Crown Prince? Our son is definitely not one to covet the throne or simply seize power!"
Yinreng was slightly startled when he heard what Buerhe said, then he laughed as if he had suddenly realized something. He hurriedly explained, "My dear, you have misunderstood me! How could I not know the temperament of my precious son?
What I just said was not meant to test him, but I sincerely believe it. I think that Hongye should be allowed to enter the court directly and gain some experience.
Looking back, when I was his age, I had already begun to assist the Emperor in reviewing memorials. It's a pity that later... But no matter what, Hongye was carefully raised by you and me, and I am well aware of his abilities.
Therefore, I intend to arrange for him to hone his skills in one of the six ministries for a while before entrusting him with important tasks to help me handle some of the important affairs of the court. You know, now that my elder brother and others are fighting in the south and the north, the territory of our Qing Dynasty is expanding day by day, and many matters require a lot of effort to plan and plan.
The future of the Qing Dynasty ultimately belongs to Hongye, so having him involved as soon as possible can help avoid repeated setbacks in the future."
Upon hearing this, Buerhe's doubts vanished. As long as she was certain her husband had no other ulterior motives, she would not interfere further. She simply replied softly, "Everything is entirely up to the emperor. As the child's father, you naturally have more profound thoughts about his future. I believe that the emperor will pave a bright and smooth path for Hongye. There are some things that you should discuss with your son. I will not interfere if I don't understand."
One of Yinreng's favorite things was talking with his beloved wife. He particularly admired this quality of his wife: when faced with areas she didn't understand, she would never make arbitrary comments or make arbitrary comments; and if what she talked about was indeed reasonable, she would rarely raise any objections.
Late at night, when all was quiet, Yinreng would often be alone, lost in thought. At this moment, a strong feeling of gratitude would always well up in his heart.
This gratitude was, on the one hand, offered to the mysterious power, whose origins remain unknown, which had granted him the opportunity for rebirth; on the other hand, it was given to Master Pu Du, who had now transformed into a pile of relics. (If Master Pu Du knew at this moment, he would probably only sigh helplessly, "Thank you so much!")
Without their full support, Yinreng knew that he would never have such a new starting point, nor would he have the chance to meet the love of his life, let alone build such a happy family and make friends with brothers and close friends who could confide in each other and share weal and woe.
For Yinreng today, the life before him was as beautiful as a colorful dream. That was why he was momentarily distracted when Buerhe deliberately tried to inquire about matters related to his son.
In reality, his heart was filled with the thought that he himself must not allow his son to go through the hardships he had experienced himself. He had already experienced the unique feeling of being at the pinnacle of power, and now his family was safe and sound.
Therefore, the only thing he needs to do next is to do his best to protect this beautiful land for his son and wait quietly for the child to grow up and mature.
