--three-- Fulin returned to the palace, took a short rest, and then went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay his respects to his mother. It's Shenshi, the west slanting sun makes people warm, the green grass beside the imperial road, the orange glazed tiles, the red palace wall, and the white jade railings set off each other, which is particularly vivid.Standing on the height of Longzong Gate, you can even see the Dandai Xishan from a distance.The magnificent Palace of Compassion and Peace has been renovated in less than a year, and it is full of splendor. The adjacent Cining Garden is still being repaired, and the towering ancient pines are lush and green, bringing some vitality to this ancient palace with little greenery.

Fulin stepped on the white marble steps between two bronze unicorns, passed through the majestic Cining Gate, and eunuchs and maids knelt to greet him; In the middle of the day, I heard his kind and mellow voice that he was used to since he was a child, speaking in a kind Manchu language: "Emperor, you are back." Fulin caught up a few steps, saluted his mother, and asked respectfully. From her food and daily life, she has the filial piety of a son, the solemnity of an adult, and the majesty of an emperor.He has perfectly blended these three identities.The four concubines following Fulin: the two Borzigit, Tong and Shi, who are the heads of the East and West Palaces, also knelt down respectfully to pay their respects.Their lantern brocade robes are shining brightly, and the pink head pads are exposed from the two tall heads. The hair in the middle of the head pads is shining with the unique luster of jade, gold and silver, and the silk flowers on the temples are dazzling.Among the court ladies in blue cloth long gowns and braided hair, they looked very delicate and charming, just like spring flowers surrounded by thousands of greens.

Empress Dowager Zhuang is the daughter of Zaisang Dabeile of Horqin Mongolia Borjigit family. She, her aunt, and her sister were married to Emperor Taizong Huang Taiji.Because of this marriage connection, Horqin Mongolia has always supported Huang Taiji's war to unify Manchuria and seize the world, and has become the most powerful and pivotal branch of the Mongolian Forty-Nine Banners. Back then, she was a well-known Mongolian beauty, well-known on the grasslands.However, what flew farther than her beauty and fame was her luck and intelligence. She is Zhai Sang's youngest daughter. She has been extraordinary since she was a child.It is said that when she was seven years old, she went to the grassland with her brothers to inspect the pastures. A lama who was proficient in physiognomy was surprised when he saw her and said, "This is a noble person. How could he be born here? What a strange thing!" The man was not surprised, and replied: "This is the young daughter of Zhasangbeile, naturally she is born with noble life!" The lama said: "My so-called nobleness does not stop here! This girl should be a spouse with the king of a great country, and her mother will honor the world. !" People still don't care: "That's natural. Yehe is the biggest among the Hulun Four Kingdoms. We Baylor and Yehebeile have always been friends. I think we are going to be Yehe Guofu Jin?" The lama shook his head repeatedly and said, "More than more This girl is the king of myriad chariots and the mother of China's Zhaomin people." The people laughed together and said: "How can the lord of the celestial dynasty marry the daughter of a foreign barbarian? Shut up! Stop talking nonsense! "The lama was reprimanded, so he had to walk away, muttering as he walked: "Whether there will be experience in the future, I don't know. Years later, Huang Taiji died of illness, and her son Fulin came to the throne; when the soldiers went south and Manchuria entered the Central Plains, Fulin became the first emperor after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. Zhao Min's mother" prophecy.

Of course, these are legends and attachments.Only she knows how many turbulent waves she has experienced for her son's throne and for the country. She is forty-two years old this year, but she still looks young and charming.The two curved eyebrows are black and bright, and the slender eyes always seem to be warm. Under the small straight nose, there is a sharp mouth, which looks very decisive.Her high cheekbones and wide jaw were originally the features of her Mongolian appearance, but she gradually gained weight after middle age, and these shortcomings were concealed by her plump cheeks.She has a serene demeanor and a dignified manner. In front of her, anyone will feel ashamed and respected—not just because of her lofty and dignified status.

At this time, she looked at the concubines kneeling down to pay their respects, and said quietly: "That's all." Then she smiled slightly: "From now on, Concubine Tong doesn't have to kneel to pay her respects, just be quiet." Concubine Tong's face In an instant, it was as red as a red rose.Fulin looked at her with a smile in his eyes.Concubine Tong glanced at Fulin very quickly, she was full of love, and she refused to look up again.The other concubines stood on both sides with forced smiles and lowered their faces, feeling uncomfortable in their hearts. The Empress Dowager turned her eyes to Fulin: "The emperor's complexion is very good today." "My son went to talk with Tommafa, and went to the suburbs for a horse race. He was very happy." Indeed, he looked as if he had just come out of the bath, his face was ruddy, Bright eyes, handsome figure.

The Empress Dowager nodded: "My father-in-law is noble and knowledgeable. He is a rare minister who advises Zhengzhengliang. Did you greet me?" Fa Shi." Fulin dedicated two gold necklaces with the crucifix of Jesus to his mother: "Mafa said that they should be tied under the coat to cure diseases and eliminate disasters." The queen mother took the holy medal necklace and looked carefully, Then wear it solemnly.A small golden cross hangs on the chest, shining among the strings of precious oriental beads.The concubines and the wives who accompanied the Empress Dowager were all astonished at the outrageous behavior of the Empress Dowager. Tang Ruowang, a foreigner, had some scruples about asking her to wear it under her coat, but she... The Empress Dowager looked up at the crowd, and everyone flocked. Eyes lowered.She smiled nonchalantly, and then asked Fulin: "Why did Tommafa give you two holy tablets?" Fulin looked away, "He said, the other side is for the queen." The concubines immediately lowered their heads, anxious Poor.The pair of Borzigit sisters glanced at each other inadvertently, and hurriedly dodged as if they were on fire.Tong wiped her white and tender chin gently with a handkerchief, covering her mouth and a smile on her lips.

The Empress Dowager immediately changed the topic: "The emperor's study is too hard. Talking with virtuous ministers and philosophers can increase knowledge and relax your mind, which is better than day and night. Don't be like last autumn when you vomited blood." Fulin smiled and said: "The queen mother Repeatedly taught that since you are the father of the people of China, you must be proficient in Chinese and Chinese. Besides, if you want to make a difference, how can you not waste your time and effort! Martial arts and martial arts, lenient, fierce and relaxed, have profound principles. Recently, my son is carefully exploring Yuan, The reasons for the loss of the Ming Dynasty!" The Queen Mother laughed and said: "Okay! Think it through, and tell me. Besides, I rule the world with bows and horses. Of course, riding and shooting cannot be neglected, but hunting must be restrained. If it is too wild, it will hurt your body, and if you make a mistake in hunting, you will lose the right way." "Mother," Fulin smiled, and his face became more like a child: "I have changed a lot now? I haven't hunted once this year. Fighting! But the Empress Dowager sits bored every day, how unhappy! The garden will be renovated in two days, and then I will accompany my Empress to stroll as much as I want!" It was Fulin's idea to restore the Tsing Ning Garden.The empress dowager opposed it many times on the grounds that the military was undecided and the treasury was empty.But Fulin considers himself a filial son and wants to rule the world with filial piety, so he didn't make any concessions on this matter, and said that it was just a little repair on the foundation of the old garden, which would not cost any money, so the Queen Mother had to admit it.

"I heard that the calligraphy on the forehead of the Luyun Pavilion in the garden is the best, isn't it?" "Yes. They say it's Dong Qichang's handwriting, which is unrestrained and unrestrained. It's wonderful. Yesterday, I came across his copybook. The scholars in the inner courtyard read it and said Alright!..." Fulin couldn't help showing a bit of complacency, and continued casually: "If I let my son read Linzi since he was a child, it wouldn't be so hard now!..." As soon as he said the words, he immediately regretted it.This touched a big taboo between mother and child.

Fulin lost education when he was young, which was caused by Dorgon, Prince Regent Rui.For Dorgon, whether it is Fulin or the queen mother, the feelings are very complicated.Three years ago, after their mother and son cooperated tacitly to pursue Dorgon's treasonous crime, they tried their best to avoid mentioning him.Fulin hated him, hated him very much, hated him with gratitude, and hated him even more because of his gratitude.The Empress Dowager hated him, but there was love underneath the hatred. Given today's status and situation, both love and hatred had to be deeply suppressed in her heart.

The Empress Dowager remained calm, said a few more gossips, and said calmly: "Go." This is a routine, which means that the emperor and concubines can leave.The concubines lined up obediently, respected the queen mother, took a few steps back, turned around and filed out.The shoes on the bottom of the flower pots were tall and hard, and the carpet could not hide the sound of hitting the ground.Their waists are stretched straight, and their upper bodies are motionless, as if a bamboo pole is stretched from their waists to the top of their heads.This is the rule in the palace, you are not allowed to wriggle and wriggle like a barbarian when you walk.

Even the only Han concubine, Shi Shi, the lord of Yongshou Palace, tried her best not to waver and walked out stiffly, even though she had small feet with embroidered shoes, a skirt and short jacket, and was dressed in a Han family. Fulin frowned and looked at their backs, showing no intention of quitting. The Empress Dowager said gently: "Your Majesty, you can also go to rest." Fulin shook his head: "I don't." The Empress Dowager looked at him suspiciously, and he complained, "Emiang, you can't even see it? People are already hungry! " The queen mother smiled, knowing that he was using this kind of behavior similar to acting like a baby to express his apology for the other party's slip of the tongue.She ordered two tables of wine and food to be served, and sent the accompanying wife out of the palace.The mother and son had dinner together the next time they went back to their bedroom.Because this is not a regular meal, and it is in the Empress Dowager's Palace, there is no disturbance of meal delivery boards asking for introductions, and there is no endless stream of eunuchs to serve dishes, prepare dishes, test poison silver medals, taste meals and other tedious meals Procedures, the atmosphere is very harmonious and peaceful, several gold silk smokers emit bursts of rich agarwood, conveying warmth, making people feel at ease. The mother's topic naturally turned to the empress election: "My son, the middle palace should not be empty for a long time. What are you going to do?" After a moment of silence, Fulin said: "I would like to listen to my mother's teachings." "You may not be willing when you grow up." Listen to my mother." Her gentle tone couldn't hide her bitterness.It was the first time since the queen was deposed for more than half a year that she expressed her dissatisfaction in her speech. Fulin lowered his head and remained silent. The abolished queen was the elder brother of the queen mother, the daughter of Wu Keshan of Horqin Mongolian Baylor, and the niece of the queen mother, who was originally hired by the regent Dorgon.Because of this, no matter how beautiful the queen is or how close she is, Fulin felt very uncomfortable.A few months before the wedding, Dorgon died of illness, and Fulin was about to "retire from the engagement", but the queen mother refused, and Wu Keshan had already personally sent her daughter to Beijing.From the perspective of state affairs, as far as family affection is concerned, a big wedding must be held.After the marriage, the emperor and the empress were really out of tune, and they soon turned against each other. Within two years, Fulin desperately wanted to abolish the empress. The empress dowager didn't agree at first, but later saw that Aizi became depressed and became sick, and became thinner day by day, so she knew that she couldn't force it, so she agreed.Unexpectedly, there was an uproar in the court. Many courtiers, especially the Han officials, fought hard according to the ancient rituals, and repeatedly asked for careful and careful review; the Manchurian King Baylor and his ministers gathered to discuss, and also advocated that the empress should be the central palace, and the east and west palaces should be established separately.Fulin not only rejected all persuasion and compromise proposals, but also reprimanded all the officials for selling their names, and severely scolded several Han officials who were particularly energetic, scaring them to confess their crimes.At this time, Prince Zheng Jierhalang first expressed his approval, and the political meeting also obeyed the emperor.The queen was finally abolished, reduced to Concubine Jing, and moved to a side palace. For the first time, the courtiers experienced the stubbornness of the young emperor. Regarding this matter, Queen Mother Zhuang's mood was more complicated than that of her son, and she had much more considerations.She shook her head openly, as if to indicate that there was no need to mention the past, and then she looked into her son's eyes seriously: "What do you mean?" Fulin's tone hesitated: "I haven't decided yet...just Since my son is the lord of China, it seems that the gap between Manchu and Han should be gradually bridged. Empress Dowager, can you..." The queen mother raised her slender black eyebrows: "I have already accepted a Han concubine, and I have pushed for the surrender of the general and sealed the hole. The four kings, Wu, Geng, and Shang, and the meaning of the unity of Manchu and Han is enough. The queen is the mother of the world, and the spouse of the emperor is not enough for a non-noble person!" "Then, mothers are more expensive than their sons. Isn't it..." The Empress Dowager shook her head slightly, and said after a long while: "Empress Dowager must think about the society. Can the Forty-Nine Banners of Mongolia not be resentful when the queen was abolished last year?The world is uncertain, you must not cut off your thighs! ..." Fulin was speechless for a while. For the sake of the country, he had to listen to the teachings of the queen mother. The ancestral family law did not allow the establishment of a Han woman as the queen, and Fulin was just a whim. If he had to choose by himself, Tom Mafa would He was tempted the most. He wanted to try to find a new relationship, to find his favorite empress. But the people in front of him who were qualified to be promoted to empress were not to his liking. In comparison, Concubine Tong And get his favor. Once out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Fulin's face and demeanor became solemn and soothing, like an emperor who is in the ninth five ranks.He was supported by the eunuch to board Yuyu, and the large group of attendants followed quietly behind.It was almost dusk, and the sunset glow in the western sky quietly dyed the surroundings with a light purple.In the lavender twilight, the overlapping ridges and cornices of the palace are covered with a layer of melancholy fog, and the rows of squatting beasts pressing the corners also look mysterious and wonderful.The quiet and deserted Imperial Steps and Imperial Path made people feel even more empty.An indescribable sense of melancholy, a feeling of wanting to get something but finding it hard to get gradually welled up in my heart, what was Fulin thinking?What are you looking for?Is it the ambition of being a hero of the generation?Is it the ambition to rule the world with a foreign race?Is it the ideal of benevolence and morality?It seems to be, and it seems not... Or, is it because of Lihou?Yes, after talking for a long time, the mother and son did not reach an agreement on this.Fulin sighed lightly. The eunuch next to him, the very handsome Wu Liangfu hurriedly approached: "Which palace lord and empress do you want to summon?] Fulin was in deep thought, and didn't answer. "Otherwise, the slave will serve the Lord Long Live and go around the palaces." Fulin is sixteen years old and matures earlier than other boys of the same age.The ancient system of the Sangong Sixth Court cultivated his lust and indulgence, not to mention his passionate temperament, which coincided with the period of rampant youth. The customs in the late Ming Dynasty were originally obscene.Wu Liangfu, the eunuchs left by the Ming Dynasty, knew very well the whole set of extravagance and lust in the court. It was imperative for them to use this to cater to the young emperor and achieve the purpose of solid favor.Fulin was puzzled by the unheard-of secrets, so he couldn't help but consider Wu Liangfu as his confidant.Fortunately, with the Empress Dowager's family law, Fulin himself is smart enough not to indulge in wine and sex and forget state affairs.But at this moment Wu Liangfu saw that the emperor who summoned concubines and nobles every day just shook his head, which was also a little strange. The first star flashed out of the sky, Fulin looked at it, Tong's charming smiling eyes suddenly flashed in his heart, so he said: "I want to go to Jingren Palace to see Concubine Tong, but I am afraid that the queen mother will blame her if she finds out. "Wu Liangfu hurriedly said: "The holy son of heaven and all spirits help each other. Long live God is the lord of the world, who is not your slave and maidservant! Tong Niangniang may wish for it!..." Fulin felt comfortable when he heard it, and Yuyu turned around after a little signal Go through Qianqing Gate and enter Dongyi Chang Street, and arrive at the gate of Jingren Palace.A eunuch had reported earlier that Concubine Tong led the concubines, nobles, Chang Zai, Xu Xu, etc. who lived in Jingren Palace, and knelt down in front of Jingren's gate to greet her.Fulin came down, helped Concubine Tong up first, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother won't allow you to kneel and worship me, what are you still kneeling on me for?" After performing the usual rituals in the front hall of Jingren Palace, Fulin went directly to Concubine Tong's bedroom in the back hall.The other concubines and nobles went back to their rooms. "This time, you don't dare to ride a horse again, do you?" Fulin said with a smile, a little sweetness in his gentle demeanor, which gave his face a special charm. Concubine Tong was overwhelmed by flattery, and quickly bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the heavenly family is very kind, and my concubine will never dare to cheat on her husband, and she must strictly abide by the prenatal training." The respectful and official answer made Fulin immediately disappointed.Why is she unresponsive?She doesn't remember anything? ...A year ago, Fulin and the Queen had turned against each other.He was extremely depressed, and often used riding and shooting to relax and inspire.In mid-spring, a few crabapple flowers beside Mingxiuxuan in Xiyuan were in full bloom like clouds. Fulin, who came to practice archery, watched and lingered under the trees, unable to bear to leave.Suddenly, a burst of sweet laughter came from the other side of Ming Xiuxuan, and several concubines and nobles, surrounded by more than ten court ladies and eunuchs, also came to Ming Xiuxuan.The eunuch brought a tame white horse.They originally met for a horse race, but when they came here, they pushed each other, and no one wanted to ride first.Concubine Tong, who was the youngest and most filial and had just entered the palace, stepped forward and said loudly: "My ancestors used horses to shoot all over the world. They dare not ride horses. I am so ashamed! I will come!" The concubines and nobles clapped their hands and laughed.Someone teased: "Sister Tong's family does not forget Zude. If you are not careful, the queen mother will know it, and she must treat it differently!" A single flower is a sign of good fortune! Your majesty will turn your cards today!" Concubine Tong blushed, smiling and annoyed, she pretended not to pay attention, turned around and took the whip from the eunuch, and led the horse away After a few steps, he pulled the carved saddle, stepped on the pedals, and a beautiful Feiyan turned over and stepped on the horse's back.Just as they were about to raise their whips, they saw everyone knelt down in unison, and Begonia walked out of the Emperor Shunzhi whom they had always been thinking about.Concubine Tong hurriedly jumped off the horse and knelt down on the ground.Shunzhi went straight to her side, looked at her for a moment, with a smile on his lips, then turned and walked away. At dinner that day, when the eunuch used a jade plate to enter the concubine's green head card, Fulin found the rider.The green-headed sign reads: "Jingren Palace Tong, thirteen years old, daughter of Tong Tulai, Gushan Ezhen, Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army." Fulin turned over the sign lightly.That night, Concubine Tong stayed in the emperor's bedroom. Later, no matter how jealous and angry the queen was, Fulin kept calling for concubine Tong. He likes her because she is childish, petite, and very attached to him.Her fear and grievance during the first intercourse made him feel sweet.He often couldn't help reciting Xin Qiji's "Pink Butterfly": Yesterday was like a spring, the thirteenth daughter learned embroidery, and she didn't teach flowers to be thin.She was very ruthless, so she rained heavily, rained and winded, and made lichen red crepe in the garden... Concubine Tong is just a thirteen-year-old charming daughter! Regrettably, once Fulin told her these Tang poems and Song poems that he deeply admired, she was like a piece of wood.What's more, after the queen was abolished, she gradually became so serious, she spoke virtuously and respectfully, but kept her mouth virtuous and restrained, which was annoying. It's the same today!Where did the love for Yiyi go? The maid put on evening makeup for Concubine Tong, and took two mirrors to look at her back and forth.Concubine Tong in the mirror is plump and tender, her peach-blossom complexion is comparable to the silk flowers on her temples, her round eyes are full of affection.Fulin couldn't help but teased her again by reading a phrase between flowers: "Looking at the front and back mirrors of the flowers, the flowers complement each other." Concubine Tong turned around slowly and looked at him reservedly, her eyes were blank, obviously she didn't understand him what did you say.Seeing her pretending to be noble and dignified, completely covering up her original innocence, Fulin felt unhappy: Look at her, she really regards herself as a concubine, a queen! Fulin immediately lowered his face and shouted loudly: "Wu Liangfu! Wu Liangfu! Bring me the memorial presented by the inner court today, I want to approve the copy! "Concubine Tong was not surprised at all, she meekly cleaned up the books and ink for Fulin. Fulin looked at her from under his eyes, hoping that she would raise objections or express dissatisfaction with his actions, even at least a little bit. Unfortunately, not at all. Wu Liangfu led several inner eunuchs to hold the folding box.Fulin opened the first memorial, which was inscribed by Fu Yijian, a scholar of the Academy of Internal Secretaries: ... The imperial court has a judiciary to punish prisons, and a Metropolitan Procuratorate and Tongzheng to redress grievances. , so the lower reaches the people's feelings and the upper reaches the heavens.Unexpectedly, those who wished to be killed were wronged and banned.For example, ten days ago, an unknown man cut his abdomen with a knife outside the Meridian Gate, and I was completely astonished.At that time, the Ministry of punishment must carry out investigations, and did not dare to bother the blasphemy.Today, on the eighth day of the first month of this month, there is another person who cut himself in front of the Meridian Gate.Although the origin of his name cannot be known in detail, but how serious is the forbidden place, and two tragic blades are seen in one month, is this something that should be in the world of sages?Besides, there is no one who is not greedy for life, and if you don't get what you want, are you willing to sacrifice your life?The minister heard that a husband was wronged, and it was enough to make peace.Nowadays, floods and droughts are still frequent, the Sacred Heart is vigilant, it is appropriate to reason and neglect, and Emperor Pu benevolently returns to God's will, but there are still people who have been killed unjustly in the forbidden land.Fuqi ordered the Ministry to carefully investigate the reasons, whether he had been informed by any Yamen, so that the truth of the wrongedness would be brought to light and made known to every family in the world.Afterwards, although there is urgent distress, it is not difficult to sue the director, and the forbidden palace must not be despised. "It's outrageous! It's outrageous! If you find out, you won't be able to forgive me!" He frowned, staring at the folding box, his breath getting heavier and heavier: such a big event didn't come up until the second time it happened, and it wasn't from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Title book!What reason?He was boasting of "benevolence and virtue", but he was hit in the head! Concubine Tong couldn't figure it out, she knelt down and begged the emperor to appease her anger.Fulin said irritably: "It's none of your business. Get up!" He turned around and called Wu Liangfu: "Go to the Chuanzhao Office and order Oboi to come to the West Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace immediately!" While speaking, Fulin looked at Concubine Tong At a glance, I found that she couldn't help showing disappointment. I couldn't bear it, but I still ordered firmly: "Get up and go back to the palace!" Three "Hey!" Faith face down on the red carpet.Furious, he jumped up and cursed, rushing towards his opponent.The opponent stood proudly with his legs crossed and his fists clenched, like a tall and straight pine tree, looking at him and shaking his head: he won't fight his defeated opponent for the second time. "Shang Zhixin!" Fei Yanggu, the minister leading the guards, shouted, and the red-headed Shang Zhixin suddenly came to his senses, remembering that this was the Palace of Preserving Harmony, in front of the imperial court.He stepped back quickly, breaking out in a cold sweat. Including Shang Zhixin, the son of Pingnan King Shang Kexi, three of the imperial guards were knocked down by this Mongolian monster. They were all warriors known for their strength.The delicate air in the Palace of Preserving Harmony instantly became tense. The princes and ministers who accompanied the banquet exchanged gloomy glances with each other, and their hearts were burning.There may not be no masters among them, but due to their limited status, they cannot sit on the throne in the middle of the room. Fulin barely maintained his composure, but his eyes had shrunk significantly, and the muscles on his cheeks were faintly twitching.Prince Zheng Jierhalang, seated on the left, was anxious, not only hating the guards for not being up to date, but also afraid that the young and aggressive emperor would lose his temper and make foreigners laugh.On the left side of the throne, across from the Minister of the Lifan Academy, on the guest seat was a smiling Khalkha Mongolian envoy. He poured a cup of wine and offered it to his entourage—the wrestling Mongolian giant.Just two more wins and they'll have a big win. Khalkha Mongolia is far away in Mobei, and it is the same descendant of the Yuan Dynasty as the Forty-Nine Banners of Monan Mongolia, but it did not belong to the Qing Dynasty, but it only received nine white tributes every year, that is, eight white horses and eight banners, and one white camel were donated every year.After receiving the tribute, the Qing Dynasty also gave back a batch of gold, silver, silk, satin, tea, tobacco, salt and other things to maintain friendly exchanges.As in previous years, Emperor Shunzhi hosted a banquet for the tribute envoys in the Palace of Preserving Harmony.Unexpectedly, during the banquet, the envoys asked about the emperor's abolition of the Mongolian queen, which made Shunzhi very unhappy.So when the envoy suggested that his attendants and the imperial guards wrestle for a show, Shunzhi accepted the challenge rashly, and it turned out like this.If he lost all five games, how could he bear this huge humiliation? Fei Yanggu walked up to the emperor and said something softly.Fulin raised his eyebrows, his eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at him questioningly, and he nodded slightly.Fulin said: "Okay!" The fourth wrestling began.A guard walked out of the team, kowtowed to the emperor, then stood up, stepped back a few steps, stepped on the red carpet, turned around, and faced the Mongolian opponent.All the princes and ministers at the banquet were taken aback, maybe they felt that there was a huge disparity in power? This bodyguard was of middle-class stature, but standing opposite the Mongolian giant, he looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old child next to an adult.He didn't even take off the guard's yellow uniform, and the fur-brimmed cap was pressed low between his eyebrows, but it could still be seen that he was no longer young.If you observe carefully, you will be shocked by the connotation of this guard.He is so strong, fast, dark, and looks like he has the taste of the battlefield; he has a high nose and deep eyes, and a long beard on his long face. His sharp eyes remind people of the eagle of prey that dominates the mountains and forests.The guard's clothes couldn't hide his majesty, like a shining sword in a thick black sharkskin sheath. The Mongolian Hercules, intoxicated in victory, suddenly became alarmed as soon as he touched the opponent's eyes.The two men spread their arms, half clenched their fists, staring at each other without blinking, and slowly circled on the red carpet. They looked calm and calm, and did not touch each other. In fact, both sides were accumulating strength, looking for the opponent's flaws, and waiting for an opportunity to attack .It's like a tiger and a panther confronting each other.From the emperor to the guards and eunuchs in the hall, everyone held their breath, their heartstrings tensed more and more. Roaring like a tiger, the Mongol warrior rose into the air, and rushed towards the black guard with the momentum of Mount Tai.He weighs more than three hundred catties, and he is making full use of his advantages.The moment the opponent pounced, the black guard dodged aside with great agility, outperforming the nimble black panther.Following the way of dodging, he tensed his whole body, followed, and suddenly it was like a gunpowder explosion. No one saw his movement clearly, but felt a very strong shock in front of his eyes, and a yellow lightning struck the Mongolian warrior who was not stable. , the burly giant flew up suddenly, drew an arc in the air, and with a loud "boom", fell heavily to the door of the main hall, lying there motionless. Everything happened in an instant, and people were stunned by the power of the black guard.After a moment of silence, Fulin was in high spirits, and couldn't help cheering: "Good!" Then, thunderous cheers echoed in the hall.The princes and ministers stood up and knelt down to congratulate the emperor together with the black guards, shouting "Long live, long live"!The Mongolian envoys were stunned at first, but then joined the crowd in congratulations.The Mongolian Hercules got up slowly, walked up to the black guard, stretched out two thumbs sincerely, and said with a simple and honest smile: "You, Batulu!" Fulin beckoned, and the imperial guard held out the reward on a silver plate : A pair of tall chrysanthemum gold cups with two ears, weighing twelve taels each, for the Mongolian wrestlers and black guards; fifteen bolts of colorful satin, for the five warriors wrestling today.The musicians played "Happiness in the Golden Palace" again, and the cheerful melody was accompanied by the joyful banquet. The banquet in the Hall of Preserving Harmony continued... After the banquet was over and the banquet staff had left, the black guard stepped forward to bow to Shunzhi again: "Slave Oboi respectfully invites Sheng'an." Shunzhi said happily: "You came back at the right time, and won honor for the Qing Dynasty!" Tell the servant about the matter here. We discussed it and used this trick. It is all thanks to the blessing of the emperor, and the servant is also glorious." "I have read the special book you sent from Yongping Mansion. You are doing a good job." of. This matter is of great importance, and I have approved the deliberative king, Minister Baylor, Jiuqing, and the Kedao Council to confirm the agreement.Tomorrow's political meeting, you can explain the details you found. "The slave obeyed." "On the way out of the palace, Oboi kept thinking. The emperor's move was actually to mobilize the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to make short stories about the enclosure of Yongping Mansion. What's the intention?...It's still far away from the left wing gate. The guards guarding the gate shouted "Iri" in unison, and stood up on the steps to pay tribute to him. This is a common courtesy to Minister Baylor, the king of politics, but today's shouting was particularly loud, and the guards couldn't hide their faces Adoration and adoration. Oboi, the minister who led the guards and the minister of state affairs, has always been known for his bravery.Now that the famous kings and generals who were used to fighting in the early years of entering the customs have passed away one after another, no one in the court can compare with him in terms of military achievements. He is a hero in the hearts of the Manchurians.It must be that the news of the victory of the Palace of Preserving Harmony has spread today, and it has been painted with another layer of brilliant gold!Aobai nodded calmly and passed away.He never smiles very often, and at this moment he is preoccupied with thinking about tomorrow's political meeting. The middle left gate on the east side of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is arranged in the form of a sitting court, as if the size of the Jinluan Hall has been reduced: there is a small throne in the middle, a landscape screen behind the seat, and two golden treasure fans in front of the screen; there is an incense pavilion in front of the throne. The incense burner, the cigarette curls up, lingering between the pillars.On both sides of the throne, there are two rows of seat cushions.The closer to the throne, the higher and more delicate the seat cushions are. The last two, carved with dragons and embroidered with phoenixes, are very gorgeous.This is where the meeting of King Baylor's ministers is held, and the meeting is in progress. Sitting on the throne in the middle is Prince Zheng Jierhalang.When Shunzhi came to the throne, he was appointed as the assistant king together with Prince Rui Dorgon.Dorgon was good at it and squeezed him out in many ways, even when Xingda's prison registration lost his family property, he silently endured it, as if it was useless. But he is very loyal to Fulin. Once he felt that Dorgon's power would endanger the young master, he tried his best to protect Fulin secretly.Once Dorgon died, Baylor, the king of the banners, had ulterior motives and the situation was precarious. He also cooperated with the Empress Dowager Zhuang to attribute the three banners of Zhenghuang, Xianghuang and Zhengbai to the emperor's own will, which created the advantage of the imperial power. Prince Azig of England, as the end of this tense struggle, stabilized the Eight Banners.For more than three years, he has always supported Shunzhi with loyalty and dedication.Shunzhi also respected him very much.He has great merit and authority in the court, and is the number one person below the emperor.He is fifty-six years old, tall and fat, with white beard and hair.Due to many years of running on the battlefield, he has suffered a lot of injuries and looks quite old. The first person in the East is Shuosai, Prince Chengze.He is Shunzhi's half-brother.Among the eleven sons of Huang Taiji, eight survived, and only Hauge and Shuo Sai participated in the war.Prince Su Hauge was brave and good at fighting, and made great contributions.In the fifth year of Shunzhi, Dorgon used excuses to set up a big prison, cut off the king's title, and committed suicide in prison.Shuosai's military achievements are far inferior to Hauge's, but because he is the emperor's son and brother, he is also named a prince.He is twenty-six years old and is in charge of the Yamen of the Ministry of War. The first seat on the west side was vacant and belonged to Wang Yuele of An Jun.Because the case involves him, he must be avoided. In order, the King of Discussion, Baylor, Prince Zheng's eldest son Jidu, King Xinjun Doni, and Baylor Shangshan.Afterwards, there were the Eight Banners relatives and dignitaries Fan Wencheng, Xifu, Yitu, Durma, Sony, Fei Yanggu, Obai, and Ye Bilong. Ao Bai first explained the facts of the case: Wang Yong, a villager of Malan in Yongping Prefecture, repaired the original 30 mu of land and leased it to Qiao Zinian to cultivate it.Later, he used this land to invest in Anjun Wangzhuang, and bought the head of the village, and became the head of the grain household. He deceived the master, and secretly still gave the land to the Qiao family for his own profit.Not long after, he raped Qiao Zinian's wife, forcing her to commit suicide on a cliff. Liu, Yuan and several other families who were at odds with him on weekdays pretended to be his private land and invested in it together.Qiao Zinian was outraged, sued on behalf of the public, was not allowed everywhere, and finally killed himself at the Meridian Gate. After Wang Baylor's ministers listened, they were silent for a while.Prince Zheng was very straightforward, and said straight to the point: "Although Tong Tulai is my nephew and son-in-law, I don't protect him. The emperor has issued an imperial decree in the eighth year of Shunzhi, and all the land occupied by Lieyuan Ranch will be returned to the original owner." Minister Ao has found out that the land that Wang Yongxiu invested in is indeed the land of the people, so it should be returned." Shuo Sai smiled and said: "Tong Tulai sent people to enclose the land, but he was deceived by the people who invested in it, and he didn't know it was the land of the people. Tong Tulai can be exempt from discussion." Everyone nodded in agreement.Fan Wencheng coughed.Many people turned their eyes to him, and there was some dissatisfaction in their brows.Fan Wencheng, a veteran of the three dynasties, a scholar of the Academy of Internal Secretaries, the most famous civil servant in the early Qing Dynasty, and the main counselor of Emperor Taizong, is a burly Liaodong native.He once made a big plan and made great contributions to Manchuria's victory over the world.He is a Han Chinese and claims to be a descendant of Fan Zhongyan in the Northern Song Dynasty.When Dorgon was in power, Fan Wencheng saw Dorgon's weakness and kept a certain distance from him; but he did not follow Hauge's party either.In pursuit of Dorgon's crime, Fan Wencheng was implicated for a short period of time and was dismissed from office. Due to the reminder of the Empress Dowager Zhuang, Shunzhi quickly discovered this mistake and immediately reinstated him. , obey him, and treat him with great courtesy.Fan Wencheng had a high prestige in the court, and in the political meetings, his opinions often hit the point, and the princes and relatives had to give him three points.Now, he is going to discuss, who knows what harsh words he will say! "I think," Fan Wencheng said slowly, "Minister Ao made it clear in his book that enclosing land not only encloses Qiao Zinian's family, but also the dispute between Prince An and Tong Gushan Ezhen. Thirty acres of land. If you want to return it, the two families will all return it." The fact is that after Wang Yongchang voted for Tong Huang's relatives, although Anjun Wang went far away from Xuanhua to guard the border, his family members refused to accept this tone and led the cavalry to Malan Village. , All the land that Tong's family went to was circled back to King An's name.Tonghuang's relatives are not willing to admit defeat and send troops to enclose the land again... In this way, all the land in Malan Village has been encircled, and the two royal relatives are still arguing endlessly there. King Xinjun Doni was still a teenager, the same age as Shunzhi.He is the son of Duoduo, Prince Yu, and he has always been in love with King An, so he said at this time: "The land that originally belonged to King An should not be returned."拧,说:“王用修二次投充,应该罚处!"鳌拜的眼睛直直地盯着地面,说:“佟府那个轻视君上的,才是罪大恶极,应该问斩!"他刚才讲起,佟皇亲家去圈地时,有人反抗说皇上已有禁止圈地的圣旨,佟家领队的竟说出"皇上小孩,什么圣旨不圣旨"的话。鳌拜刚才一言带过,众人也没留意,此刻突然拈出,众人吃惊不校老成持重的索尼连连点头附议:“这是正理,这是正理。"郑亲王倏然变色。济度已经"呼"地站起来要争辩,又被父亲用目光止祝范文程把这些都看在眼里,权衡一下轻重,和颜淡色地说:“佟府家将,可交属下管束论罪。两家多圈的民地理应退还。倒是王用修如何处置?此人逼死两条人命,应当偿命,斩立决。"沉默了一阵,几个人同时激动地嚷开了:“不行!”“这太过分!"议政大臣们竟一起强烈反对,连鳌拜也不例外。 待第一阵喧闹过去后,郑亲王首先皱着眉头说:“乔梓年夫妇都是自杀,王用修并无杀人罪。况且,乔家佃种王用修的投充地,可算是属下奴婢的奴婢,就是杀了,也没偿命的道理!"济度刚坐下,又跳起来,捏着拳头,态度激烈地高声嚷道:“谁家里奴婢一年不寻死十个八个的?牛马不是也要死的吗?这也论罪,我们岂不都要下狱?”“可不是嘛!”“说得对!"众人同声支持。 遏必隆是议政大臣中身份最高贵的一位。他的父亲额亦都,是太祖皇帝天命建元时设置的五大臣中的第一位。遏必隆是额亦都的第十六子,母亲是努尔哈赤的女儿和硕公主。他的家族最受信任,和皇族关系极为密切,他有五个嫂子是公主,一个姐姐做了太宗皇帝的元妃。遏必隆年岁不算大,由于和皇室的姻亲关系,辈份却不低。他平日不爱说话,遇事也很少有主见。议论以来他半天不出声,此刻,他却慢声细语地说了这样一席话:“咱们满洲东来,流血流汗,吃尽辛苦,总算用性命挣得一份家当,左不过就是府第、牧场田园、牲畜奴婢。投充人也算一大注吧!杀投充人,就象杀牛杀马杀奴婢一样,败人家的财呀!你说皇上开恩,为万民着想,退一点猎田牧场,算不得什么,以后再置。杀投充人,这不绝了财路?以后还有谁敢投充?王用修二次投充,责罚他的主子也就是了。不然,人家十几年拚命苦战,为的是什么?……”遏必隆这个忠厚人的老实话,道出了大家的心声。范文程想想也觉得有理,便不再坚持己见了。 九卿科道会议,照例在午门外阙左门举行。所谓九卿,是指六部尚书、都察院左都御史、通政使、大理寺正卿;科、道,指都察院六科给事中及十五道监察御史。由于各官名额都是满汉各一,加上内院学士及书记等,将近百人。会议已毕,满臣有的面露悻悻之色,有的还在挥手大声叱骂,各自散回朝房。汉官或低头走开,或三三两两小声谈论。会议不顺利,出了一件前所未有的怪事。 从来的九卿科道会议,无不以满臣为重心,以满臣的意见为结果,汉官不过唯唯诺诺、画押而已。今天不知什么缘故,二十九名汉官竟敢另成一议,与满臣意见相左,而且居然都在另议上签了字画了押。满臣议得:“安郡王与佟皇亲各自退还民田,王用修交主子严加管束。"二十九名汉官却进一步议得:“王用修问斩。不敢受理乔梓年诉状,致其午门自尽之县府州官,一律追究问罪。"奉旨参加会议的内秘书院学士傅以渐,收起汉官签押的奏本,沉思片刻,对为首的几名汉官说:“列位胆气令人钦佩,只是……不妥吧?"吏部尚书陈名夏仰头一笑:“有何不妥!立朝纲、重法治,百年大计,万世基业。皇上聪明天纵,定有明鉴。"傅以渐低声问:“不怕有朋党之嫌?"陈名夏一甩衣袖,掉头走开,冷笑道:“正不知谁人在结朋党!"傅以渐望着他洋洋自得的背影,叹道:“得意便忘形,祸不远矣!"陈名夏同礼部尚书陈之遴、左都御史金之俊说笑着,同归朝房,在午门前遇着了大内出来的范文程和宁完我。 五个人满面笑容,互相拱手问安。 五个人都是汉人,都说汉话。 五个人都是朝廷的大学士:范文程是初立内三院时的内秘书院大学士;宁完我在顺治二年升任内弘文院大学士;陈名夏是内秘书院大学士;金之俊有内国史院大学士之衔;陈之遴新近也授为内弘文院大学士。然而,范、宁都是辽东人,满洲崛起之时便投奔了去,所以范文程隶天子自将的镶黄旗,宁完我隶汉军正红旗,如今都是旗人,参与议政--皇帝以下的最高级会议,成为议政大臣。陈名夏三人尽管学问出众,更有才干,却只能是"九卿"。 陈名夏向范文程说起九卿科道会议的两议:“……不斩王用修无以平民愤;不处罚县府州官无以清吏治。如今天下未定,处处地荒丁亡、财尽民穷,再不收拾人心,只恐千里皆起乱萌,焉能久安长治!"范文程听着,并不表态。后来,他高高地向众人一拱手,徐徐说:“老夫尚有它事,先行一步,失礼失礼!"他转身踏上御道,向端门走去。 宁完我素来鄙视陈名夏,此时,瞟了他一眼,讥刺地说:“据你所言,想必有长治久安之策了!"陈名夏道:“焉能没有!只要依我两件事,便可天下太平!"宁完我盯着他:“哪两件?"陈名夏把头上的红缨顶子向后一推,摸着剃得发青的前额,说:“若要天下安,留发复衣冠!"宁完我脸色都白了。他尽管讨厌陈名夏,也没料到他会说出这样大逆不道的话来。陈之遴、金之俊更加惊愕,瞪大了眼睛一起望着陈名夏。 陈名夏哈哈大笑,侃侃而谈:“何需如此惊怕!前日皇上亲临内院,鄙人也曾上奏:当年豫亲王南下江宁,招抚百官,概予留用,又求贤薄税,民心大悦。对率先剃发献媚的故明侍郎李乔予以痛骂,并出示各城门云:剃头一事,本国相沿成俗。今大兵所到,剃武不剃文,剃兵不剃民,尔等毋得不遵法度,自行剃之。前有无耻官员先剃头求见,本国已经唾骂。特示。于是乎,大兵自江宁至杭州,一路传檄而定。南人大多文弱,素不知兵。江南乃财赋所出之地,本应护惜此一块土,以备供养国家之用。谁知摄政王薙发令下,本已帖然归附的江南,顿时揭竿而起,纷纷抵抗,至今此起彼伏,不得安宁。足见留发复衣冠,方可得民心。蒙皇上首肯,并无他言。"宁完我说声"告退!"便愤愤地走了。陈名夏对着他的背影鄙夷地哼了一声。 金之俊一向谨慎,忙劝道:“此人乃开国文臣,何苦开罪他。"陈名夏一摆手:“什么开国文臣,沐猴而冠!在前朝,他连生员都不曾考中。前日在内院,他竟然讥刺我降顺。我也不客气,劝他莫要五十步笑百步!说得他面红耳赤,无言对答。哼,左不过故明降人,又不是满洲旧族,神气什么!"金之俊道:“还是谨慎为上。“陈名夏笑道:“之俊兄,你就看不出?朝廷缺我们不得呀! 满洲以武功得天下,国体官制尽都承袭明制。没有我们这些故明旧臣,谁来给他指点呢?再者,皇上英明无比,改黩武为招抚,足见皇上决意推行仁政,近日又常以满汉一体谕示诸臣,不正是汉臣之福音?……”三人傍着御道边青绿的宫槐,边说边走。陈之遴道:“果如名夏兄所见,则龚鼎孳起复有望了。"陈名夏说:“正是。他昨天还折柬相邀呢。过两日去看他。"三人声音越来越远,身影越来越小,和宏伟的九重宫阙相比,小似蝼蚁,微如芥子。 次日,福临在养心殿东暖阁批本,越看越不对头,越批越不是味道,立命召大学士金之竣学士傅以渐、王熙进见。 金、傅、王三人应召而来,跪倒在红地毯上,屏息静气,惴惴不安。福临板着脸,掷下一件题本。 金之俊展开一看,是少詹事李呈祥的奏疏,竟提出"部院衙门应裁去满官、专任汉人"的建议!金之俊暗暗吃惊:满人功高权重,多数不识字少见识;而部院中有才有识的汉官如同虚设。这种情况向来如此,纵然错误百出,但也无法可想。况且上面还有满洲诸王亲掌六部,李呈祥有多大胆,敢上这样的奏疏! 福临眼内隐隐闪出怒光,提高声音说:“李呈祥此疏大不合理,直是一派妄言!朕不分满、汉,一体眷遇委任,尔等汉官反生异意!从实据理而言,难道不该首崇满洲?不是满洲东来,尔等能有今日的荣华富贵?"三名汉官慌忙摘帽放在地上,连连叩头请罪。 福临"啪"的又扔下一份题本,那是头一天二十九名汉官的另议奏文。他狠狠地说:“朋党之弊,历朝视为异端,不想竟再见于本朝!分明是汉官心志未协,不务和衷,对满员之见,故为乖违!历朝不能容,本朝更不能容!"金之俊匍伏地面,不敢抬头。 第三份题本摔下,金之俊打开一看,顿时面无人色,额头上沁出黄豆大的汗珠。那是宁完我参劾陈名夏的弹章。题本的第一句,"为特参大学士陈名夏结党怀奸,情事叵测事",而陈名夏的首项罪状便是:“陈名夏痛恨我朝薙发,鄙弃我国衣冠,曾谓臣曰:若要天下安,留发复衣冠。……”福临虎着脸,最后说:“题本发下,从重议处!"三名汉官再叩而起,倒退着出了暖阁,急急忙忙地走了。 福临满脑门冒火,感到他在受夹板气:满族亲贵和太后都暗暗责备他亲汉,而汉官得点甜头,就登鼻子上脸,公然用这种方式挑战!他,毕竟是努尔哈赤之孙、皇太极之子,大清的皇帝啊! 他烦躁地在养心殿外的月台上走来走去。二月的阵风挟着寒意,兜头刮来,他不禁缩了缩肩膀。吴良辅连忙跪下启奏:“请万岁爷添衣。"福临理也不理,只管紧皱眉头,背手快步走着。 “万岁爷请添衣裳,看着凉。"吴良辅不厌其烦地又奏。 “讨厌!"福临厉声喝,瞪了他一眼。要是旁人,也就闭口了,吴良辅仗着平日皇上的宠爱,陪着笑脸又说:“万岁爷,添件衣裳吧!着了凉,奴才怎么交代……“福临勃然大怒,一把夺过吴良辅腰带上悬挂的鞭子,照着他没头没脑地一顿猛抽,劈劈啪啪地打了好半天。吴良辅跪在那儿,一动不动地受着,不叫喊、不呻吟,也不躲闪,就象一块石头,保持着毕恭毕敬的姿势。 福临打累了,扔掉鞭子,喝道:“滚!"他自己精疲力尽,慢慢走向养心殿去了。 几名小太监悄悄扶起吴良辅,见他俊俏的脸上也着了几鞭,装出一副同情的样子直摇头,故意好奇地低声问:“吴总管,不碍的吧?"吴良辅轻轻摸一摸脸上的伤痕,微微笑着说:“咱们万岁爷就是真龙天子。这叫做龙性难撄,懂不懂?”经常挨福临鞭子的内侍们,似懂非懂地望着他,咂咂嘴,点了点头,又摇了摇头。
