Chapter 8 Chapter 3 1-1

--one-- In the blink of an eye, winter passed and spring came, and it was the thirteenth year of Shunzhi.The eighth day of February is the Empress Dowager Zhuang's Shengshou Festival. Like the Emperor's Longevity Day, it is also a day of universal celebration. Early in the morning, the emperor led all the kings and civil and military officials to the Compassionate Palace to celebrate; after they withdrew, the empress led the six concubines, princesses, Fujins, and wives to the Compassionate Palace to celebrate; Under the guidance of the inner eunuch, the princes saluted and kowtowed to the queen mother.

There were lanterns and festoons in the Compassionate Ning Palace, and the celebration etiquette of these three groups of people took up most of the morning.Next is the Queen Mother's Longevity Banquet. According to the system, the birthday banquet should be held in the main hall of the Palace of Compassion and Ning. The empress dowager ascends to the throne facing south, and the empress leads the concubines to drink tea and wine.However, this year marks the Empress Dowager's 45th birthday, and last year's prosperity was good, and the country gradually stabilized. The Empress Dowager was very happy, so she extended her kindness. The birthday banquet not only extended favor to the Fujin and wives of the nearby princes, but also had mother and child status with the Empress Dowager. Fulin's half-brothers were all left behind for the banquet, and several little princes and princesses were also brought along.

The Empress Dowager seemed to want to enjoy family happiness, breaking the previous convention of separate seats for men and women at banquets, and all husband and wife sat at the same table; all concubines with princes and daughters also let their mother and son, mother and daughter gather together.It became a real family dinner.As the most distinguished elder of this huge, prominent and noble family, Empress Dowager Zhuang can naturally enjoy the pride and satisfaction that no one can appreciate. "Long-sui-lord-drive-arr-!" The eunuch outside the Ci Ning Gate shouted loudly and elongatedly, and the people in the courtyard immediately knelt down and prostrated themselves on the ground to welcome the emperor.Fulin strode into the palace gate, stood on the steps inside the gate, with his hands behind his back reservedly, his eyes scanned everyone carefully, he let out a long breath, and his expression was a little uneasy.He raised his hand and said simply: "No." Without stopping, he went straight to the apse.There are many Fujins and wives around the queen mother.

As soon as Fulin appeared at the gate of the apse, everyone except the queen mother knelt down again.Fulin went to his mother first, greeted his mother with the usual salutes, and then said softly "Wan", and the ladies dressed as beautiful as spring flowers all stood up straight.Fulin glanced at them, his face was full of disappointment, and the corners of his eyes drooped. The Empress Dowager saw it in her eyes, but said teasing words happily: "I really shouldn't let you come to today's birthday banquet. I'm afraid the guests I invited will not be full." Fulin smiled and said: "The Empress Dowager What are you talking about! My son is the ruler of the world, and he must govern the world with filial piety.

If the mother and the empress do not have the birthday banquet, isn't the son a sinner through the ages!As for the guests, I'm afraid they will eat too much and won't be able to leave the Ci Ning Gate! " "Why is that?" "Who made the queen mother train the cooks of the Compassion Ning Palace to be as good as each other?" Fulin is here, with a clever mind and a clever mind, very able to please his mother.The Queen Mother smiled happily. "Mother, what is your son's idea for the family banquet in the Palace of Compassion and Ning? There are too many royal rules and strict rules. How nice it would be to be able to interact with relatives like ordinary people, have a full moon, drink wedding wine, do whatever you want, and be free!" "Rules I can't do without, family reunion should be more joyful!" The queen mother said cheerfully, but she was secretly laughing at her son's clumsy tricks.She judged that her fiery and irascible son would not be able to conceal his real intentions after five sentences.

Sure enough, Fulin immediately asked, "Why didn't Prince Xiang come?" Last February, also on the Empress Dowager's birthday festival, Fulin had a very happy talk with his younger brother, Bomu Boguer and his wife; One day, he sent eunuchs to Bomu Boguoer's mansion and gave his younger brother a large number of rare calligraphy and paintings; then, on February 21, Bomuboguoer, who was under the age of 14, was named He Shuoxiang by the emperor. The prince caused surprise in the government and the public.From then on, the emperor suddenly loved his younger brother very much.As a prince, Bomubogor had to attend many ceremonies that he didn't often attend before, and stood on duty every day with the court.Therefore, the emperor can often summon him, and can often invite his Fujin to many banquets in the palace.

More than one person talked about it in the Queen Mother's ear.Especially last year during the three inner court family banquets during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang Festival, and Winter Solstice, the emperor not only treated Prince Xiang and his wife extra favorably, but even joked with Prince Xiang Fujin alone many times in the imperial garden.Most disturbing of all, they spoke in Chinese, so that those who reported to the Empress in private could not tell what they were talking about. When the Empress Dowager listened to the secret reports of these spies - mainly eunuchs, maids of honor and their mistresses - she never expressed any expression and said nothing.

If a concubine who is too jealous says something inappropriate, she will be reprimanded by the queen mother as a disgraceful woman; speaking ill of the emperor is absolutely not allowed, and there are palace regulations.There are also whipping and rod punishments in the palace rules, but the queen mother never uses them. The queen mother absolutely defended her son.Because he is the master of the world and the king of ten thousand vehicles.She has always been wise and wise, and her son's deeds and thoughts can never escape her smiling and kind eyes at that time.As early as the second day after the wedding, she noticed that Fulin was restless and still dissatisfied with the new queen.When Fulin proposed to her Jinbo Mubogor as the prince, she had roughly guessed his intentions.However, Empress Dowager Zhuang is not an ordinary woman, let alone a thumping mother.She knows how to be a queen mother and how to treat the emperor's son.Her most powerful weapon is tolerance.As long as the danger limit is not crossed, she is tolerant.In fact, it was the best way to deal with her unusually bright but moody and irascible son.She has indeed learned a lot from her husband, Huang Taiji, and she is no less intelligent than any male.

Listening to her son's question and looking at her son's expression, the queen mother was as clear as a black grouse falling on the snow.But she never pointed it out, and replied naturally: "They went to Shoukang Palace to welcome Yijing and Kanghui." The noble concubine Yijing is Bomu Boguer's biological mother.She and Concubine Kang Huishu were originally the direct descendants of the Yuan Dynasty, the Fujin of Chahar Mongol Lindan Khan.In the eighth year of Tiancong, Huang Taiji led troops to attack Chahar, and the last descendants of Genghis Khan perished.Huang Taiji accepted two Fujins of Lin Danhan.In the first year of Chongde, Huang Taiji changed the name of the country to Qing, called Emperor Kuanwen Rensheng, and set up a harem.Dafujin in Qingning Zhonggong is the empress, the aunt of Empress Dowager Zhuang; Concubine Zhuang in Xiyongfu Palace is Empress Dowager Zhuang;At that time, the noble concubine Yijing was the noble concubine of Xilinzhi Palace, and the concubine Kang Huishu was the concubine of Dongyanqing Palace.Concubine Yijing gave birth to E Zhe and Abu Nai, the heirs of Chahar Mongolian Khan, for Lin Dan Khan in her early years.When the Mongolian Forty-Nine Banners were attached, Huang Taiji ordered Ezhe to be the banner owner of the Mongolian Banner in Chahar, conferred the title of Prince Heshuo, and honored the second daughter of the emperor, Princess Gulun. Kata married.Ezhe died in the second year of Shunzhi, his wife and brother Abu Nai attacked the king, and the princess passed on to Abu Nai, who has been stationed in Chahar to this day.Bomu Boguoer was born in the sixth year of Chongde, and had the same mother and half father as Ezhe and Abu Nai.

Empress Dowager Zhuang has always been very generous to the other concubines left by the late emperor.The Bomu Boguoer couple first came to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to ask the Empress Dowager Shengan, and the Empress Dowager sent them to meet the Noble Concubine and Concubine Kang Huishu.Fulin has always admired his mother's magnanimity, and knowing that Prince Xiang and his wife had indeed come, he was relieved, and talked with his mother about the performances at the birthday banquet with great interest. The Zhonghe Shaoyue in the east and west verandahs played the Empress Dowager's Enthronement Music, with a solemn and slow tune.Empress Dowager Zhuang climbed onto the throne in the middle of the Palace of Compassion and Ning to the sound of music, and all the concubines and princes Fujin, led by the emperor and empress, kneeled neatly in front of the throne.The Empress Dowager sat upright and stopped happily. People, led by the eunuch Xuan Zan, congratulated in unison: "May the Empress Dowager, the Holy Mother, live forever, live forever, live forever!" There was an echo in the temple.

The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, and said brightly: "Today's birthday banquet is a family banquet, and it's all my own flesh and blood. Don't be rigid, drink wine as you like, and speak freely. I, an old lady full of children and grandchildren, will also be happy! "There was a lot of laughter in the hall, which was much more relaxed than the usual solemn and solemn ceremony. Fulin refused to be hasty, and must formally offer tea and toast to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother had to agree.Then, Zhonghe Qingyue, who lined up under the eaves of the Cining Gate, played "Chao Tianzi", and Fulin led his five brothers to the Queen Mother's throne.Behind him are the Zhen Guo General Ye Busu, the Fu Guo Gong Gao Sai, the Zhen Guo General Chang Shu, the Zhen Guo General Tao Sai, and the Prince He Shuoxiang Bomu Boguoer in order of age.Prince Shuosai of Chengze died of illness the year before last, and Bomu Bogor became the only prince among the princes of Huang Taiji.In terms of titles, General Zhen Guo is still six levels away from Prince: Fu Guo Gong, Zhen Guo Gong, Bei Zi, Baylor, County King, and Prince. It turned out that there was no title, but he was promoted to be a prince all of a sudden, and the elder brothers were very jealous.Today is a family banquet, except for the emperor and empress, it only talks about seniority, regardless of official position, Bomu Bogor can only be at the bottom, Ye Busu and the others are naturally happy in their hearts, but it's hard to show it.But Bomu Bogor was not happy.After being a prince for a year, he was used to being respected everywhere.No, on the way Fulin looked back, smiled, stopped and waved to Bomu Bogor.Bomu Bogor quickly ran two steps to catch up, Fulin took his hand, holding the gold cup together, and walked side by side in front of the queen mother's throne.There was suppressed exclamation and murmurs in the hall, all eyes were on the faces of Fulin and Bomubogor.Bomu Bogor couldn't help being proud and triumphant, and his elder brothers had to follow an emperor and a prince in step.As for Fulin, a respectful smile appeared on his face, which fit his status here and now.In his heart, he was intoxicated for a while, because among the countless gazes cast on him, he felt a pair of black and crystal-clear eyes, revealing surprise, anxiety and fear, as well as praise and caring.This is enough, even ten thousand pairs of beautiful eyes with phoenix eyes are meaningless to him, they don't exist.Unconsciously, he made his steps more steady and powerful, making his posture more chic and free, and the smile that made his face bright and handsome never left his lips and the corners of his eyes. The Empress Dowager took the golden cups from her sons, drank them down generously, and then gave each of them a glass of wine.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fulin glanced quickly at the concubines and Fujins standing on both sides of the throne, and his heart skipped a beat: Where did she go?I searched again, but I still didn't see those extremely bright eyes.For a moment, Fulin felt uncomfortable as if wrapped in a spider's web, and his face darkened.If she wasn't there, if she didn't see and hear, wouldn't all Fulin's efforts be in vain?Fulin returned to the throne on the left front side of the Empress Dowager's throne, depressed, and even the golden tableware on the throne and the food table seemed to lose their luster. "The Son of Heaven" was played over and over again, and the singers in the band sang the congratulatory message of birthday and toast with the music with their loud and clear voice.The queen led the six concubines, princesses, and Fujin to toast the queen mother with tea.In the center of the main hall, there seems to be a jar of colorful and dazzling flowers, and it seems that a group of dazzling colorful birds have gathered.Fulin looked at them indifferently, and the words "pink like dirt" flashed in his mind again. Suddenly, she appeared in the last position in the third row, the last among Fujin.Fulin looked at her in surprise.Obviously, just now she was completely covered by those tall women, like a wall covering a clump of orchids.Among this group of tall, strong, rigid, and colorful Manchu and Mongolian ladies, she looked even more petite, exquisite, and graceful, so gentle, refined, refined, like a crystal clear glass person shining with light. "Ah! The dark clouds have dispersed, and the bright moon has come out!" Fulin praised loudly in his heart, his chest suddenly became clear, and everything around him became more beautiful: the hall was higher, the throne was more brilliant, the tea, wine and dishes Why is it so delicious?Why is the singer's singing so beautiful?Fulin felt that his spirit seemed to enter a fairyland that he had never experienced before, and his heart was so bright and joyful.When the Empress Dowager gave everyone wine and laughed happily, he also took advantage of the topic and laughed out loud, as straightforward, cheerful, and unscrupulous as a child, which made the empress in the palace sitting on the queen's throne opposite look timidly. He glanced a few times, but he didn't care.Joy was like a pure, sweet and rushing stream with spray, flowing through his heart and his whole body... Zhonghe Qingyue played the relaxed and joyful "Golden Palace of Happiness" and the birthday banquet officially began.The maid serving the wine and tea replaced the blue cloth gown with a colorful silk robe, with bright silk flowers inserted on the roots and tips of the big black braid, and a thin layer of makeup on the face, moving back and forth between the seats like flying, in an endless stream. The emperor and empress leave their seats and bow down to the empress dowager.Fulin smiled and said: "The empress dowager's birthday, sons and ministers and others respectfully enter the birthday gift: ten thousand taels of silver, one hundred pieces of satin yarn for the top, six hundred strings of pearls, and six hundred strings of coral beads. Please accept it with a smile!" With a smile, he took over the red list of birthday gifts from the emperor and empress for the empress dowager.This is an annual tribute, of course. "Golden Palace of Happiness" was played even louder. The lords of the palaces also presented their birthday gifts in turn.Because the big birthday gifts of the emperor and empress have represented their juniors, most of their gifts are symbolic: a string of Buddhist beads presented by concubine Duan of Yonghe Palace; a golden Buddha for Concubine Gong of Jingyang Palace; The only concubine of the Han Dynasty, she was ingenious, using pearls and gold and silver threads to inlay and embroider the gorgeous patterns of Danfeng and Chaoyang on the uppers of two pairs of bright yellow satin flowerpot high-soled shoes, which aroused the praise of many noble ladies around. Concubine Kang of Jingren Palace is the only one who has a son in the throne.Today, she was able to hold her own child to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, which made her very happy, and she was very grateful to the Queen Mother.She hugged the third elder brother tightly in her arms, and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother's throne.The third son of the emperor, who was not yet two years old, was holding a small and exquisite hand stove woven with gold and silver threads and inlaid with pearls and jade with his chubby hands. He held it up high and called out affectionately in a childish voice "Aunt Huang! Warm your hands!" The ancient and heavy palace, the majestic and resplendent palace, suddenly burst out such a voice that resembled the sounds of nature, which already made people's hearts tremble. The scene, countless unfamiliar faces without fear, made the Queen Mother like it even more. She personally sat down, took the gift from the child, and said to Concubine Kang: "I love you. The second elder brother..." Before she finished speaking, another unexpected thing happened. The beautiful and healthy child with black face and dark eyes suddenly opened his two little hands and shouted, "Grandma, give me a hug!" Everyone was stunned.The queen mother was also taken aback.How to do it? Because of going to the birthday banquet, other people can wear dresses instead of complicated court clothes.Like Concubine Kang, she only combed her hair on grand occasions and didn't need to wear a gold crown; she only wore a brocade and fur-lined gown with mink fur, and she didn't need to wear a shawl or an extended coat, so she didn't feel uncomfortable when she held her child. difficulty.And because the queen mother is the "birthday star", she must wear a full set of court clothes: the nine-phoenix crown with triple orbs, court robes, court gowns, court beads, and shawls.If you really want to hold a child, your arms will be difficult to swing back, and the precious ornaments on your chest will be damaged.Besides, the Empress Dowager really loses her status by holding a child. Concubine Kang patted the third elder brother lightly, and said: "Don't shout!" But the queen mother stretched out her arms, and took the third son of the emperor into her arms.Even a baby under one year old can accurately judge people's attitude towards him: whether he really likes him, pretends to like him, or hates him. This is an instinct of a child who cannot speak.The third son of the emperor nestled in the arms of the queen mother, his whole body stuck to her broad chest, his hands tightly wrapped around the grandmother's neck, and a delicate little face was pressed against the queen mother's cheek. A warm, tender little body in his arms, two soft little arms around his neck, and a little face exuding a warm milky fragrance, all of which express absolute trust and incomparable attachment.Empress Dowager Zhuang has not experienced this for many years.She unconsciously hugged the little boy tightly and kissed his chubby little face, a hot and sour hot air welled up in her throat, forcing her to almost cry. People stared at the grandparents and grandchildren on the throne with wide eyes, too surprised to speak.In the silence, the queen mother smiled lightly and said: "You know, the third elder brother is very interesting. Last year when he grabbed the jade plate, he opened his two little hands and grabbed all the objects in the emerald plate!... In the future , It should be a long life, full of talents in both civil and military affairs! "According to the royal system, the emperor's birthday set includes two pieces of jade decorations, two jade fan pendants, one gold spoon, one silver box, and a pair of rhinoceros bells and rhinoceros sticks. , one arc, one arrow, and one copy of the four treasures of the study.Last year, the third son of the emperor grabbed all the objects in one go, which made my grandmother very happy, and admired many playthings and brocades. Up to now, I can't help being proud when I talk about it. The Empress Dowager started, and the prince's uncle, aunt, and other mothers also followed suit and made many auspicious words.The third son of the emperor also has an older brother, two older sisters, and two younger sisters.But because their mothers were all below noble titles, they couldn't attend the formal table, even if their hearts were sour because of dissatisfaction, they still had to laugh with everyone. It took a lot of trouble to take away the third son, the child stuck to Grandma Huang's body like a plaster, Concubine Kang and the nanny were sweating profusely, and only took him off amidst the crying of the third elder brother .It's still the old way, let the nurse stop crying for him. The Empress Dowager was very emotional, being attached to a baby, her heart was sweet and warm, the feeling was indescribable and extremely comfortable. Fulin smiled all over his face, watching this scene.If it can make my mother happy, so will he.His eldest son Niu Niu died in the ninth year of Shunzhi, which did not cause him much grief. One is that the child was too young, only three months old when he died, and was thin and weak, and was born by a promise; the other is that he himself was too young at that time, only fourteen years old.In recent years, he has only begun to pay attention to his heirs.The second son is only eight months older than the third son, and far less healthy and intelligent than the third son.Coupled with the high status of the third son's mother, Fulin also loves the third son very much.However, today his heart is not on the child.He waited to see his brothers present birthday gifts to the queen mother. Four couples, Ye Bushu, Gao Sai, Chang Shu, and Tao Sai, stepped forward one after another and offered Buddha statues, beads, white jade pagodas, and golden incense burners respectively.Since their respective feudal mansions, the birthday ceremony has never exceeded this format. It is very solemn, noble, and safe, and there is absolutely no suspicion of being unconventional.Aunt Su Ma accepted it solemnly, and the Queen Mother nodded with a smile. Fifteen-year-old Prince Xiang and seventeen-year-old Fujin, like a pair of golden boys and jade girls, walked forward in unison, each holding a bright red coral Ruyi, and knelt down into the Queen Mother.It is rare that this pair of Ruyi and Daxiao are very similar in shape and color. Against the backdrop of the pure white long silk tassels, they look red like clouds, exquisite and lovely.The Empress Dowager couldn't help but took this pair of Ruyi from Aunt Su Ma, and touched them lightly. They were warm and delicate, as precious as the finest suet jade.She kept Ruyi handed over to Lagu Su Ma, and was about to express something, when Prince Xiang and his wife each held a jade plate and knelt down again.On the tray of Prince Xiang, there was an antique pottery pot with a lotus root, a lotus body, and a lotus canopy. Next to it was a lotus leaf cup of the same color, which was so lifelike that it would swing when the wind blows.On Prince Fujin's tray was a bright red lacquered food box.The two said at the same time: "Please try something new, Queen Mother." Aunt Su Ma understood, and first poured it into the lotus leaf cup with an earthenware pot. The light green clear water lingered, and a fragrance spread around the Queen Mother; Open the lid of the food box again, and the small box is divided into nine compartments like orange petals, and some dried and fresh fruits are placed in each compartment. The queen mother took a sip of the tea, only to feel the fragrance permeated her heart and spleen, and it was very sweet; she took a longevity fruit from the fruit box and ate it, it was crispy and full of cheeks.She was very satisfied, and asked Prince Xiang: "How is this tea cooked? It is fragrant and mellow." Bomu Bogoer couldn't answer for a while, and said a little stammeringly: "Tea... There are things in the tea... ""What?" "I don't know... I don't know, just ask her!" Bomu Bogor unconsciously showed his childishness, and shook his head at his Fujin. "Report to the Empress Dowager," Xiang Wang Fujin Dong Eshi replied calmly, smiling kindly, showing white teeth: "This water is the snow that was swept from pine needles and bamboo leaves last winter. It is stored in jars and used to make tea At that time, I added the three flavors of pine nuts, bergamot and plum blossoms, boiled in water and fried three times." "No wonder!" The Queen Mother laughed: "This tea can be called Sanqing tea!...Then, this fruit box is also special, right?" "Yes." Dong E said with a smile: "This is called Jiujiu Fruit Box. There are nine kinds of fruits, nine pieces of each kind, each with an auspicious name and color. The servant has written a name tag and put it under the fruit." Oh, why don't you read it to me! Emperor, you and your husband should also come and see and listen." The Queen Mother was very interested, and she seemed to be very fond of this youngest daughter-in-law. Fulin was eager for the sound, and immediately moved to the Empress Dowager's table. King Xiang Fujin did not refuse, and stood in front of the Empress Dowager's table, pointing to the Empress Dowager one by one: "Longan, like the Lizhu of Yinghai; Pearl; lychee, which can be called the fairy product of crimson sac; ginkgo fruit, which is just like treasure tree silver pill; white date, which can be compared to the treasure of Anqi period; pine nut, which is euphemistically called Pengshan emerald grain; longevity fruit, which can make Kunyuan Changchun. Good, good!" The queen mother was very happy: "It's hard for you to remember so clearly. It seems that your poems have no foundation." "The slave has been stationed in Hangzhou with his father since he was a child, and his father invited two masters, Manchu and Han, to teach him." "No wonder You have such a kind of elegance and quietness of a Jiangnan water town, that you look like a girl from a scholarly family of the Han family, not like our Ge Geer from Manchuria." As she spoke, the queen mother laughed herself, put a pine nut in her mouth, and slowly Savor slowly. What did her last two sentences mean?Is it a derogation or a compliment?Dong E couldn't figure it out, and thanked her condescendingly: "The queen mother appreciates the face, the slave thank you!" She raised her head carefully, wanting to see the face of the queen mother, who would want to meet Fulin's burning eyes, she panicked, He quickly lowered his eyes and retreated to his seat. The seat between the Empress Dowager's throne and Fulin's throne is the seat of Noble Concubine Yijing. The Empress Dowager turned slightly to her side and said to her with a smile: "My Royal Sister, Bomu Boguer's children have become more numerous after they got married. "The noble concubine first smiled, then frowned, and said: "Isn't it? If this continues, he will also become a barbarian!" "Why, look at this daughter-in-law..." the queen mother asked with great interest. "Where, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the queen mother's pointing to marriage. I mean Bomu Bogor. We are full of the Eight Banners. After all, we rely on riding and shooting. We are more martial than literary!" At this time, delicacies were served one after another, and everyone After bowing to the Queen Mother at his table, he sat down and started the banquet.The queen mother smiled happily and said nothing more.On the stage outside the hall, the ancient team dance--sweeping python has started with the warm and fast music accompaniment.Eight Eight Banners soldiers with model horses on their bodies, symbolizing cavalry, dressed in armor, holding bows and arrows, galloping around and chasing dozens of jumping and churning elephant-nosed monsters. The atmosphere during the banquet became more relaxed. Just like the usual banquets with relatives and friends, no one would take offense at sitting and joking with wine glasses. Fulin went straight to the table of Prince Xiang and his wife, and sat between them without hesitation, which made them both at a loss and wanted to bow down, but Fulin quickly stopped him and laughed: "The Empress Dowager has made it clear that today It's a family banquet, and it's only a family ceremony, not a monarch's and ministers' ceremony, you don't want to do this." Bomu Boguoer hurriedly poured wine for the emperor's brother, and Fulin drank it all in one gulp, then held the golden cup and said to King Xiang Fujin "Sisters and sisters, it's your turn." Fujin glanced at Prince Xiang, and Prince Xiang urged, "Fill it up for the emperor!" Fujin lowered his head and smiled, holding the golden pot to fill Fulin's cup, and Fulin drank it up in another gulp.Fujin said: "The emperor is good at drinking!" Fulin smiled at her and said, "It's a pity that there is no good wine!" Prince Xiang was surprised and said: "Isn't the Yuquan wine in the palace the first in the world?" Fulin shook his head, looked at his younger brother with a smile, then at his sister-in-law and said, "You can drink this kind of wine for a thousand minutes a day without getting drunk. Extremely tasteless! I heard that there is a famous wine in the south of the Yangtze River, called Lihuachun. It is sweet and fragrant, fragrant to the flesh and bones, thick and strong, and you will be intoxicated all day long after drinking a small cup. I don’t know if I am lucky to taste it in this life.” Prince Xiang said: “ A jar of wine is worthless! Just ask them to pay tribute." Fulin sighed: "The mountains are high and the water is far away, and the sky is far away. Who knows if I can get close to Fangze?... However, today I seem to smell the fragrance of pear blossom spring, and I feel intoxicated. The so-called wine is not intoxicating and everyone is intoxicated... Brother and sister, you will definitely say that I am in the country of wine, and I am intoxicated all day long, right?" Fujin avoided answering, and started another topic: "Pear Blossom Spring is indeed a rare good wine, with a beautiful color. Light green, the so-called green like bamboo leaves, the wine is strong and fragrant..." Prince Xiang asked: "How do you know?" "When my family was in Hangzhou, the master had this wine. His old friend gave it to him. He had a small altar, and he ate it for a full month, drinking one cup a day, and fell asleep for half a day. Whenever he opened the altar, he felt a strong fragrance, and those of us who don't know how to drink alcohol feel drunk, even standing in the courtyard. The domestic servant also swallowed. In the last two days, the smell of wine attracted me, Ama, and the two of them drank together. They got drunk together, and finally helped the two old people back to the bedroom. They yelled all the way: Good wine! Good wine!" Both Fulin and Bomubogor laughed.Fulin said: "Your master is so good at wine?" Fujin quickly said: "No. He doesn't drink much, but he likes to hold a cup very much. It is the habit of southern scholars. Whenever he is drunk, he talks about the wind, which is very subtle. He Originally, he was erudite and knowledgeable, and his poetic talent was elegant, and his writing was especially quick when he was half drunk. One day, he was drunk and fell asleep at his desk. My younger brother Fei Yanggu and I quietly discussed, "Water is like jasper and mountains are like daisy." What is right? After a long time, no one could say anything good. Unexpectedly, the teacher never opened his eyes when he was drunk and dreamed, so he said: "I can talk about Yun Xiang's clothes and flowers. After finishing speaking, I was still sleeping soundly. When he woke up, I asked him, He didn't know it at all!" Fulin laughed and said, "Is Li Taibai's "Qing Drum Music" the right one? You read the two poems again in Chinese." Fujin read it accordingly, Fulin nodded and smiled and said in Chinese: "These poems must be read in Chinese, and the flat tones have flavor." Fujin also replied in Chinese: "Exactly.I tried to write a few birthday congratulatory poems for the Empress Dowager, but if I read them in Manchu, there would be no poetic flavor, so I had to give up. "After that, their conversations were all in Chinese. Bomu Bogor didn't understand at all, but he didn't dare to intervene, let alone express his dissatisfaction. Fulin said: "Why don't you present the poem and let me read it?" Fu Jin laughed and said, "Scribbling with graffiti is desecrating the holy eyes. But I have been studying the piano for several years, and I must play the piano when the queen is forever Presenting your birthday." Fulin felt very uncomfortable, so he said, "Your master drinks wine, composes poems and plays the piano, so he must be a romantic person." Fu Jin smiled secretly, and had to reply respectfully from the side: "Master lived in Yangzhou back then, and someone sold cranes. The road was poor, but he bought two pairs with all his pockets, and was going to take them away when he returned home. Unexpectedly, ridicule and ridicule came all at once. The master replied: "My family is poor, and the crane is like a good friend; my husband and wife are old and poor. Leaning on a jade tree; singing with a thud, pleasing to the heart and ears, playing the qin and watching the dance, relieving worries and sorrows, what is the joy? For this reason, he wrote ten chapters of poems to recite for his friends. After hearing this, my father deeply respected the master, That's why I tried every means to set up a restaurant in the bannerman's home." "Oh. What's your master's name? Don't you want to get involved in an official career?" Fujin Zhuangrong faced each other and replied: "Master's surname is Lu, his name is Zhiyue, his name is Xiaotian, and people call him Xiao Weng. He said: Huang Qing was ordered by righteousness, and his friendship is very righteous. However, we were born in the Ming Dynasty and have eaten Ming millet for a long time. We should not be a disobedient woman, thinking that the sun will be ashamed in a different day. I only hope that the new dynasty will be benevolent He said that although his strength is meager, he still wants to work hard for this, and he will never get tired." Fulin said admiringly, "This is the so-called Gaoshi!... Where is he now?" "A few days ago, my mother mentioned that the master used to be a guest at the Prince's Mansion in An County, but he has bid farewell and returned to the south recently." "Retire and return home?" "No... It is said that Jiangnan has been heavily imprisoned recently. The case of rebellion by ten old surnames is very involved. There are many discrepancies in the inside story, but it has been incomprehensible for more than ten years. Master wants...he will run for it." Fulin didn't say.He both admired and disliked the joker's actions.Appreciate his righteousness and courage, and resent his interference in his own governance. "Long live," Prince Xiang Fujin suddenly changed his address: "Southern people are elegant and weak, and they can't help but destroy them. Jiangnan is also the place where wealth comes from. Now the two rebellions of Yongli Puppet Dynasty and Zheng Chenggong have not been resolved, and the people in Jiangnan will be stabilized. Jiangnan will be stabilized. The place cannot be underestimated. Long live the benevolence and sage, presumably it will be a long time ago. " Fulin looked at the beautiful face in front of her in amazement, those eyes were nothing serious, they deserved Mafa's happiness!Please sit down and talk. "Tang Ruowang smiled, sat cross-legged on the cushion under the throne according to the rules, and spoke faster and louder than usual: "Your Majesty, you don't know that I have been away from my hometown for decades, and now I will be living overseas thousands of miles away from my hometown. I am so excited to receive people from my hometown! ..." "Marfa, aren't you from Cologne, Germany? It's not the same country as the Netherlands!" "Your Majesty, although we live in two countries, I can speak Dutch since I was a child. When I was studying in Cologne, many of my classmates I am Dutch, so there is always friendship of the same race! Since the old minister has been favored by the emperor and received such honor in the Chinese Empire, my fellow countrymen have traveled thousands of miles to come here. I will do my best no matter what. Please look at the old minister’s thin face Come on, give the Dutch mission the highest courtesy!" Fulin smiled and said, "Mafa intercede, how can I not allow it! But Mafa, seeing you are so happy, do you know if the Dutch mission has any other mission here?" Tang Ruowang, who had been in a state of excitement, was taken aback for a moment, and said: "They are paying tribute to His Majesty on behalf of the Grand Duke of the Netherlands! I saw their list of gifts, and it is really a great gift! Those given to the emperor, queen mother and empress are all worthy of praise. It is a national treasure! There are also many astronomical instruments and clocks, very exquisite, very exquisite! Ah! I have only been away from Europe for forty years, and the metal skills have made great progress!" Tang Ruowang became excited again as he spoke, and Fulin couldn't help smiling : For several years, he has been admonishing the emperor to maintain the majesty of the emperor: to be unsmiling, to keep a cautious and silent attitude towards his subjects, etc., but today this kind and kind moral guide, once excited, is like a child simple.So Fulin said: "Mafa, I am very happy to grant all your requests. This time, you will be the main one to receive the Dutch mission, and the Minister of Rites will accompany you to handle it. But, don't forget Mafa, The Dalai Lama came to court a few years ago, and you had admonish me!" It was the ninth year of Shunzhi, when the Dalai Lama of Tibet, revered as a living Buddha, reported to the emperor that he was willing to come to Beijing to see him, and he would lead three thousand Lamas and 30,000 Mongols served as guards. At first, Fulin planned to meet Fajia in person at the border, but was opposed by many ministers.Tang Ruowang not only wrote a long letter of remonstrance, but also personally confronted the emperor, believing that the emperor should not lose his dignity and cause such shame. Tang Ruowang's remonstrance is working.The emperor reassigned a prince to go out of Beijing to meet the great lama.When Fajia arrived in Beijing, the emperor's uncle, Prince Zheng, greeted him at the foot of the city, and the emperor himself went hunting in Nanyuan.There, Fulin sat in the main hall and waited. When the Dalai Lama entered the hall, the emperor stood up and handed him his hand to express his respect, and pointed to him the first seat in the sequence of princes on the right. It was later learned that the most important of the Dalai Lama's many wishes in coming to Beijing was to make the emperor one of his lama disciples.Tang Ruowang then stated to the emperor: This is a great loss to the status of a celestial monarch.The emperor and the lama should do their own thing and fulfill their duties.As a result, even though the Living Buddha received a grand reception in Beijing, and the Qing Dynasty conferred him the title of "West Paradise Great Virtue and Self-Contained Buddha" the following year, leading the world to teach Buddhism, his main wish still came to nothing. When mentioning the past, Tang Ruowang pondered for a while, and said: "Don't worry, your majesty, the old ministers are counted. Now I will go to the Dutch embassy to see the Dutch embassy... Ah, the envoy named de Goyer probably knows many of my old friends all over the Netherlands and in Amsterdam! "Tang Ruowang was in high spirits, with a very enthusiastic expression on his face. Fulin was too embarrassed to pour cold water on the old man. When Fulin allowed him to leave, his legs that had been crossed for a long time could not stand up due to numbness. The emperor stepped forward to help him stand up personally. Supporting him until the guards came up to replace him. Fulin raised his hand, and the four imperial guards immediately knelt down and obeyed. Fulin said: "You escort Mafa out of the palace to the tribute embassy.Be careful on the road, don't startle the horse and fall Mafa. The guards surrounded the missionaries out of the hall. Fulin stood for a long time, watching the back of the gray-haired Tang Ruowang. The four bachelors on duty were very moved when they looked at the emperor who was full of fists.For this young emperor, they all deeply felt the grace of encounter. Tuhai, styled Linzhou, Ma Jiashi, was born in Zhenghuangqi, Manchuria.When Shunzhi was in power, he was just a member of Zhongshushe who managed the imperial treasures. He often carried the emperor's golden seal on his back and followed Fulin to hunt and ride in Nanyuan.Fulin believed in his heart that this person was extraordinary, and wanted to make an exception for promotion and reuse, but he was afraid that people would not accept him, so he came up with a brilliant, simple and feasible trick with his youthful heart.一次大朝聚会，议政王贝勒大臣及大学士们都在御前，福临突然说：“中书图海举止异于常人，当置于法，立斩！"众人大惊，纷纷以其无罪为图海请命。鳌拜甚至直言陈词，说杀无辜是君上天道之举云云。当众人情绪激昂达于顶点时，福临才板着脸说：“如不杀，则须立置卿相高位，方可满足其愿，不生他变！"于是，图海当殿立授内院学士。不几年拜内弘文院大学士、授议政大臣，去年加太子太保，兼任刑部尚书，成为满洲新人中晋升最快的一名干练大臣。 金之俊，字岂凡，江南吴江人，明朝万历四十七年进士，曾官明朝兵部侍郎。顺治元年清兵入京，谕命故明内阁、部院诸臣以原官原品同满洲官员一体办理国事，金之俊便为新朝兵部侍郎，以蠲田租、赦降众、举漕政等要事得到朝廷信任。顺治亲政后，金之俊又密奏：凡旗人不得经商，王公不得私离京师，内监擅出宫门者斩等，深得福临赞赏，很快由兵部侍郎历左都御史、吏部尚书升为内国史院大学士。即使他参与了二十九人另立异议的事件，也没有对他的升迁发生影响。但金之俊心中毕竟不能无愧。当讥讽陈名夏、龚鼎孳的小戏《南渡记》在民间演开之后，也有诋骂他的顺口溜在京师私下传唱：“从明从贼又从清，三朝元老大忠臣。"为此，金之俊怒愧交加而病倒，便上奏请求致仕。皇上不但不准，竟遣了宫中画工去为金之俊画像，说要留在自己身边，以慰想念之情。 今年初，金之俊假满上朝，福临很动感情地对金之俊和大臣们说：“君臣之义，贵在相维始终。尔等今后不要以引退请归为念。去年之俊病体沉重，朕特遣人绘其真容，是念彼已老，惟恐不能再见，故而不胜眷恋……朕简用之人，都愿皓首相依，永不离别啊！……”一番话，说得大臣们鼻酸心热，金之俊更是唏嘘流泪，叩谢不已，发誓肝脑涂地以报知遇之恩。 内秘书院大学士成克巩的心情和金之俊相似。他的父亲是明朝的大学士，他自己是崇祯十六年进士。甲申年避乱家居不出。新朝建都北京，他被引荐进内国史院。顺治亲政后，以成克巩为世家子，对故明官制旧事知之甚多，堪为借鉴，因而不次擢用。顺治九年，成克巩由弘文院学士迁吏部侍郎，十年擢吏部尚书，十一年擢秘书院大学士加太子太保。以故明大学士之子，得到这样的重用，他怎么能不感恩戴德？ 至于傅以渐，和他们三人都不一样。他在前朝只是个白丁，到新朝方应科举。自顺治三年大魁天下，到顺治十二年十个春秋，他从内弘文院修撰、内国史院侍讲、左庶子、侍读学士、少詹事、内国史院学士直升到内秘书院大学士、内国史院大学士，加太子太保。对于他来说，清朝比明朝看重他，而顺治亲政前后，他又有完全不同的感受。"以国士相待则以国士相报"、"士为知己者死"这些在读书人中长期传播的信条，是非常有用的。 福临回身，正遇上四位大学士神态不尽相同、却都含着忠诚的目光。他心里很满意，缓缓走回宝座，面带微笑地坐下，以说闲话的口气随便地说：“，朕已阅过两遍，顺便也翻看了二十一史及《明实录》。据卿等看来，汉高祖、汉文帝、光武帝及唐太宗、宋太祖、明太祖六帝相较，谁为最优？"金之俊对奏：“唐太宗似乎过于诸帝。"福临说：“不然。明太祖立法周详，可垂永久，历代之君皆不能及。"成克巩立即奏道：“皇上此言明见万里。去年六月皇上命十三衙门立铁牌，严禁中官纳贿干政；十一月斩纳贿贪赃之巡按御史顾仁，二事震动朝野，足见我朝立法业已初具规模。
