Chapter 11 5

--Fives-- Aunt Su Ma received the order from the Empress Dowager and hurried to Xuanwumen Church to find Tang Ruowang, but was blocked by the bannermen in front of the door.Aunt Su Ma had no choice but to say: "There is a serious patient in my family, I beg Mr. Tang to help me!" Hearing her blunt voice with a Mongolian guttural voice, the bannerman's attitude immediately changed from stern to respectful, and said: "It's not that I'm not willing to accommodate. Mr. Tang is preaching to the believers. At this time, no one is there! Last time I sent a clerk in the Prince's Mansion to look for him, he immediately lost his temper and gave me a scolding Almost drove me away!" Aunt Su Ma said in surprise: "I thought Mr. Tang was a kind old man with no temper!" "Who said he was not kind? His kindness towards the poor, the sick and children It’s as soft as water; but whoever gets in the way of his missionary work will be like dry wood and fire. It’s dangerous if you touch it!... Fortunately, he always regrets it afterwards and never corrects people.” “Hey, more than sixty He's an old man, what are you doing idle!" "Oh, he doesn't look like an old man in his sixties. He's busy from morning to night, preaching and baptizing, leading the congregation to worship, visiting the congregation, and going to heaven. Supervise.

He never rests at home, writing, calculating, dispensing medicine, making machines, and he even plays the piano!Do you think, how heavy was Prince Rui's meritorious service monument back then?He can build a machine to lift a stele into the air! ...Oh, what a miracle! "This bannerman talked about Mr. Tang's skills like a treasure, and he talked endlessly. Seeing that he was about to talk about the miracles of Mr. Tang building churches, casting cannons, and building fortresses, Aunt Su Ma quickly stopped him and said: "I won't do it right away. Please, let me go into church and hear him preach, will you? "The bannerman was even happier: "Wow!Go and listen, and you will join the teaching after listening.

Master Tang spoke so well that the stone man would cry! "As soon as La Aunt Su Ma entered the church door, she heard Tang Ruowang's voice echoing in the dome-like tall and round church roof. The dark rows of believers stared as if they were fascinated, and listened quietly: "...the world is full of evil, and human beings are full of evil!This comes from the original sin of human beings, ah, this is the original sin that the ancestor of mankind, Adam, sinned and left to the descendants who cannot save themselves!It makes it difficult for human beings to avoid the tragic ending of hell.In order to save the souls of believers, God sacrificed his own Son, our suffering Savior!As a ransom for sin, our Lord Jesus was crucified.My Lord Jesus gave up his body, turned into bread; gave up his blood, turned into wine... Believers, this is all for us.To save our souls! ..." Tang Ruowang was impassioned and burst into tears, not to mention that the female believers murmured the name of Jesus in tears, La Aunt Su Ma was also deeply moved by the pious look of the gray-haired Tang Ruowang raising his hands high.

"Believers! One day, the end of the world will come. At that time, our Lord Jesus will make the final judgment on all human beings throughout the ages. God's people will ascend to heaven. Those who do not believe in God Pagans will forever fall into the hell of suffering. My dear believers, I hope you will always introspect and ask yourself, and strengthen your faith in God!..." The believers flocked to Tang Ruowang, surrounded him in the center, asking about teachings and solving problems , Please give blessings.Aunt Su Ma watched from afar, knowing that it would be difficult to see him for a while, so she walked out of the church and waited in the spacious and beautiful marble porch.The believers gradually dispersed, and when Aunt Su Ma entered the church again, Tang Ruowang was no longer there, only a few deacons were cleaning up the venue.The bannerman saw her just now and said, "You haven't seen Mr. Tang yet? If you want to see him, you have to work hard. He's going to harvest grapes in the garden at the back now. Go find him there!" Deep green, with the scent of rose bushes in the air.There are many fruit trees, and the red, white and white peaches and purple grapes are very attractive.Some people stood on the ladder to pick the fruit, but the dense branches and leaves covered their figures and faces, and Lagu Su Ma still couldn't find Tang Ruowang.

A strange cry came from under a big peach tree. A gorgeously dressed foreigner took off his wide-brimmed hat decorated with ostrich feathers, and bent gracefully towards the tree as if dancing. salute.The person who climbed the ladder to pick peaches also responded with a warm and enthusiastic tone.Although Aunt Su Ma could not understand a word they said, she recognized Tang Ruowang's familiar voice.Who is that foreigner?She hid herself by the tree and watched carefully. Tang Ruowang got off the ladder with a small basket full of fresh peaches on his back, and the two blue-eyed foreigners sat down together at the stone table under the tree. They patted each other on the shoulder affectionately like brothers, laughed heartily, and raised their glasses of wine.Tang Ruowang recited the toast poems in Dutch, his melodious and ups and downs, and his beautiful voice was as pleasant as singing: the red roses are in full bloom, and the buds are drinking the breath of spring. Blessings, wine lovers, all blessings!

The foreigner is enthusiastic and unrestrained, holding the wine glass high in one hand, waving the other hand boldly, and toasting intoxicatedly with his face up: Raise the glass of red wine high, this is the land of freedom, the saint and the drunkard are one and the same Ah, a farmer is no different from a king! ... The two clinked wine glasses, drank them down, and laughed heartily. Tang Ruowang ordered the bannerman to load all the picked grapes, peaches and all the wine in the cellar into the car, and sent them to the embassy building with the guests.The banner man hesitated, Tang Ruowang gave him a stern look, and urged: "Go and do it quickly, don't stay at all!" The servant left helplessly, and Tang Ruowang turned around and said to the guest: "These people will never understand. How difficult it is to be in a foreign country!" The guest looked at him inexplicably, spread his hands and shrugged.Tang Ruowang patted his gray-haired head and laughed haha.Because he casually spoke Chinese to the guests.

When saying goodbye, the guest embraced Tang Ruowang warmly, and whispered something to him earnestly. Tang Ruowang nodded, and the guest bowed gracefully again happily, and walked away with air. "Tang Mafa!" Aunt Su Ma stepped forward to salute Tang Ruowang. Tang Ruowang knew her. The first contact between Tang Ruowang and Queen Mother Zhuang was through Lagu Su Ma.He was a little surprised, and quickly stood up: "La Aunt Su Ma, why are you here? The queen mother is sick?" Right?" Tang Ruowang led Aunt Su Ma into his small study.There, Aunt Su Ma told Tom Mafa about Fulin's recent changes and symptoms according to the Queen Mother's order, and asked Mafa to treat Fulin's illness, and to correct him for his recent lewdness and immorality.

Tang Ruowang listened, his face became more and more gloomy.In addition to his professional interest as a missionary in the missionary monarch, he really liked this bright, studious and volatile young man.Fulin's admiration and attachment to him made him, a devout believer in God and a pure missionary, often feel like a father.In the past month, he was busy with missionary affairs and receiving the Dutch mission, but he did not know that Fulin had fallen into such an emotional vortex, which made him feel heavy.He immediately replied: "Please report back to the queen mother, I will do my best. This is my bounden duty." Aunt Su Ma quickly asked: "Can I go in two or three days? The queen mother is very anxious!" Tang Ruowang immediately stood up Standing up: "I'm going to the palace to ask the emperor to see you. I have something important to report to the emperor." Aunt Su Ma was very happy, she got up to thank her, and said goodbye, as if she had inadvertently said: "The hat of the barbarian just now is so real. Beautiful." Tang Ruowang said: "Did you see? The Dutch sailed all over the world, they are knowledgeable, and their clothes are also ingenious." "Oh, he is the Dutch!" "Yes. He is the deputy envoy of the Dutch mission, from Amsterdam , is the younger brother of an old classmate of mine. It is a great joy in life to meet an old acquaintance in a foreign land!" "This time they entered the court to pay tribute, and the tribute is really priceless. The empress dowager said it was unprecedented!" Tang Ruowang smiled Said: "Yes, not only the empress dowager, the emperor, and the empress are given gifts, but also the ministers of the king and minister who are discussing politics. There is only one gift, and I will do the math for him. The cost of the Netherlands is probably around 200,000 taels." " "Spending so much money! Why?" Lagu Su Ma asked tentatively.

"They want to sign a treaty of commerce, want to stay in Macau, want to ... in a word, want to open the door to China." "Then they are so lucky to meet Mafa, a fellow countryman and old friend here, who is so kind and warm-hearted " Tang Ruowang blurted out, and said with a smile: "Just now, the deputy envoy also said that..." Aunt Su Ma also smiled: "If I were you, Mafa, of course I would help!" Tang Ruowang looked at her with blue eyes, Said very gently: "The queen mother and the emperor will decide in the end." Aunt Su Ma said firmly: "It can be done. Mafa, aren't you also a foreigner? They give such a heavy gift, and the gift is very important. The queen mother, the emperor The most important thing is friendship." Tang Ruowang smiled, nodded, and did not speak again.Aunt Su Ma said goodbye and left.

Tang Ruowang pondered for a moment, picked up a pen and wrote quickly, wrote a letter of remonstrance with sharp words, and then called the sedan chair out to enter the palace.Without much trouble, he was immediately passed into the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Fulin was wearing a bright yellow silk woven dragon-pattern robe without a hat, and was leaning on the kang table reading a book.At first glance, Tang Ruowang was slightly relieved that his condition was not as serious as imagined.Seeing him, Fulin put aside the book, stopped him from kneeling down, smiled slightly, and said, "Mafa, I haven't seen you for a long time." Wu, there is an unhealthy flush on the lips and two cheeks, it seems that the body is already quite weak.According to his consideration on the way to the palace, he first talked about the Dutch trade requirements.

Fulin said wearily: "I have read all the memorials Mafa gave on this matter. As for the matter of commerce, it is advisable for the Inner Court and Li Fanyuan to send people to negotiate with them and conclude a trade treaty, as long as it is mutually beneficial, it does not matter. ""otherwise!Commerce is just an excuse, and there is no good intention behind it!In the memorial, the old minister repeatedly reminded the emperor to be cautious, and that is why. ""Could it be..." Fulin looked at Tang Ruowang with some surprise. "Your Majesty, the Netherlands is becoming a major country in the world. It has been militaristic for decades, and its naval fleet is particularly powerful. It may soon replace Spain as the largest colonial country. China has a vast land, rich resources, and a prosperous population. How can it not make it covetous? Portal 1 Open it, and it will not be easy to close it!" Fulin nodded and said, "Now Taiwan is an island that hangs alone overseas, and it is occupied by Spain and the Netherlands." Tang Ruowang said immediately: "Because of this, Macao It is better to leave it to the Portuguese and not allow the Netherlands to obtain the right of abode." Fulin smiled and said, "Mafa means that the three countries should restrain each other?" "Exactly. The court still needs to focus on Zheng Chenggong and Nanming Yongli. They The three countries check each other, which is beneficial to me." "Mafa," Fulin said emotionally, "the Dutch mission is from your hometown. I saw you were so moved and cared so much about the mission. I thought you must speak for them. . Who knows you are not like this!I can't but thank Pemafa for her loyalty to me.It is absolutely difficult for a guest from ancient times to come to this point. Tang Ruowang blushed unknowingly, and said, "Is Your Majesty suspicious of the sincerity of the old minister?" The Dutch mission is the hometown of the veterans. The joy and enthusiasm of the veterans come from the truth; the veterans are familiar with the intentions of the Netherlands, and they are thinking about the fate of the country, which also comes from the loyalty of the veterans. There is another level, the veteran said bluntly, don't blame your majesty.Has Your Majesty forgotten that the old minister is a missionary? " Fulin stared at Tang Ruowang in astonishment, not understanding the meaning of his words for a while. No matter how high Tang Ruowang's status was in the court, how busy the Qin Tianjian was, and no matter how much respect the Manchurians held for him because of their astonishment at Tiansuanxue, he always remembered that he was a missionary. All the arduous and strenuous study, work and traveling are all for preaching, for the belief of God to grow and grow on the land of China, so that hundreds of millions of Chinese people will convert to the holy Holy See, and so that hundreds of millions of suffering souls in China will receive God’s blessing. Saved and ascended to heaven. No matter how happy and moved he was by the nostalgia of the Dutch mission, he never forgot that the Dutch believe in Calvinist Jesuitism, which is completely opposite to the Catholic Jesuitism that John John believed in.Tang Ruowang could not tolerate allowing Calvinist forces to enter China.Therefore, when welcoming the arrival of the old man from his hometown, he used his status, power and influence on the emperor. On the one hand, he gave the Dutch mission the warmest reception and the highest courtesy; fail.Tang Ruowang briefly explained to Fulin the disadvantages of the Calvinist party to his preaching, and then said: "The old minister thinks that this is the only way to care about personal friendship and not hinder the overall situation." Fulin smiled and said: "Imafa How should I reply to the Dutch mission?" "Thousands of miles away, ten thousand gold tributes, I have to give a little face!" Fulin took out a paper sign from the kang table and wrote a few words: "Eight years Paying tribute once can include a small business." Tang Ruowang said no more, he had already won.His thoughts turned to the difficult matter which the Empress Dowager asked him to do. "Marfa, don't you tell me something interesting?" Fulin leaned back on the pillow, eyes showing obvious fatigue. Tang Ruowang said cautiously: "If the old minister has something to say, he can only submit it to His Majesty under the four eyes." "Under the four eyes" is a colloquial phrase between Shunzhi and Tang Ruowang. It is to avoid everyone, only the two of them talk in secret.This is probably an environment specially arranged by Tang Ruowang to say some formal words to Shunzhi and to take care of his very strong self-esteem.Fulin dismissed the eunuch and guards knowingly, and Tang Ruowang submitted the letter of advice without hesitation. Fulin lazily opened the letter of remonstrance, and after reading a few words, his face flushed immediately, embarrassed and annoyed, he threw the letter of remonstrance on the kang table, and said angrily, "What do you take me for!" He put his hands behind his back, He strode back to the bedroom. Tang Ruowang stood alone anxiously.What would the impatient and moody little emperor do to him?jail?behead? ...The palace is quiet inside and outside the palace, silent and unpredictable... He is known for his loyalty and direct advice in the court. Could it be that the emperor will kill his ministers and bring himself an unjust name?Won't.Tang Ruowang brushed off his sleeves, stroked his beard, and slowly stepped out of His Highness's platform, walked across the courtyard, and walked towards the Yangxin Gate. "Tang Ruowang stay!" shouted the eunuch, the leader of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Tang Ruowang's heart skipped a beat, so he had no choice but to turn around and enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation again.Fulin was already sitting on the couch in the East Nuan Pavilion. Seeing Tang Ruowang approaching and standing still, he gave him a seat cushion and gave him tea. Afterwards, Fulin asked in a calm voice, "Mafa, which one is the most serious crime?" Is it stinginess, or lewdness?" "Lensuality, especially for people of high status. Because this is a bad example, and the harm it causes is much greater!" Fulin listened calmly, nodding in agreement.He asked again: "What if the purpose of lewd pleasures is not to seek pleasure, but to dispel depression?" Tang Ruowang said calmly, "Fornication is an act of immorality for an emperor, and incest is also a kind of immorality. How can we expect to use this kind of What kind of immorality should I correct?" "Ah, Mafa!" Fulin suddenly cried out, "I can't stand it! I really can't stand it!..." He stood up, wanting to shout something, But his body shook, and his face turned pale.The eunuch rushed to support him.He was already very weak, and this emotional conversation almost made him faint. Together with two eunuchs, Tang Ruowang helped Fulin to the bed in the bedroom, covered him with a thin brocade quilt, and was about to leave.Fulin held his hand like a child, not letting him go.The emperor ordered his Mafa to sit by the bed, dismissed the attendants, sighed, and said sadly: "Mafa, use your poems to say: I am a nightingale, but they don't let me visit the rose garden! ..." He confided in a small voice, like a gurgling stream, covered with youthful petals, and dripping with crystal tears, both sweet honey and sour bitter wine... Tang Ruowang bent down on the bed, listening carefully , taste.It was the same things that Aunt Su Ma said, but here they became so beautiful, full of sorrow and despair... When Tang Ruowang left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the sun was already flat.He is preoccupied and walks slowly, and Fulin's depression seems to have infected him.Do you want to speak to the Queen Mother?The emperor's illness will start from this, and gradually get worse... Fulin poured out the melancholy that has been pent up in his heart for many days, and he felt a kind of relief, as if he had taken a bath, was tired and comfortable all over, and had eaten the imperial pharmacy. After receiving the decoction, he fell into a deep sleep. The queen mother was surprised when she heard Tang Ruowang's report. Her son's condition made her uneasy. The queen mother's dignity finally gave in to her mother's kindness.She immediately took Aunt Su Ma to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to visit, and seeing that Fulin was fast asleep, she couldn't bear to wake him up.She hasn't looked at her child so closely for a long time, and she doesn't want to leave immediately.She personally hung the Yuluo gauze curtain with gold hooks, picked up the dust whisk beside the bed, and swung the occasional flies away for her son. The sleeping hall is deep and cool, and the heat from the outside cannot penetrate at all; the air is thick and sometimes faintly flowing with the fragrance of flowers and benzoin, which are wafted from the incense sticks of cranes and several pots of orchids; the surrounding area is silent, and Lagu Su Ma stands at the door forward.The Empress Dowager Zhuang stared at her son's haggard face, the fluffy beard around his lips, and the black eyebrows on his snow-white face, and could not express her love and emotion.Her vision gradually blurred, and through this manly face, she seemed to see another face, a red, furry little face with big fists and big eyes, her only one. The small face of her son... When she married Huang Taiji, she was still a twelve-year-old girl.Huang Taiji was twenty-one years older than her.Because she is smart, beautiful, bright and open-minded, she is very favored.When she showed the self-restraint that is rare in ordinary women, Huang Taiji actually regarded her as a harem counselor, and often consulted with her when she raised her hands. The ability to deal with military affairs.It's a pity that her child star was not prosperous, and she gave birth to three children at the age of sixteen, nineteen, and twenty, all of whom were princesses.When she was twenty-two years old, her older sister entered the palace.In the following year, the first year of Chongde, Huang Taiji took the title of emperor and changed the name of the country to Daqing. She was named Concubine Zhuang of Xiyongfu Palace, and her sister was named Concubine Chen of Dongguan Jugong.Concubine Chen doted on the harem and took away all of Huang Taiji's love.In July of the second year of Chongde, Concubine Chen gave birth to the eighth son of the emperor, and Huang Taiji intended to be the crown prince, and specially pardoned the whole country for his birth.If this lucky person is alive, there will be no ninety-fifths of the emperor's nine sons, Fulin.Just two days before Fulin's birth, on the 28th day of the first lunar month in the third year of Chongde, the eighth son died.Huang Taiji mourned as much as Concubine Chen, and even the birth of the ninth son could not make him happy.In the sixth year of Chongde, concubine Chen was seriously ill, and Huang Taiji ignored the battles ahead with the Ming army in Songshan and Ningyuan, and all his generals rushed back to Shengjing.When Concubine Chen passed away, Huang Taiji cried several times and fell into a coma. He quickly became haggard and weak, and soon fell ill, and died a year later.Since then, the Empress Dowager Zhuang supported and protected the five-year-old Fulin. After many life-and-death struggles and many stormy waves, he became the Emperor of Shunzhi, and only then did he become what he is today.Is the son going to sicken and fall ill for a woman again, and lose everything he has? ... Fulin turned over and murmured: "Er Niang, Er Niang, you were young and young, and you also had your feelings, why are you so cruel to your son!" The Empress Dowager was startled, her heart was pounding, she stood up quickly and leaned back to look at Fulin carefully, seeing that he was sleeping as before, she knew he was talking in her sleep.She looked back again, and saw that Lagu Su Ma was standing in front of the door, still standing upright like a puppet, so she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.But her heart could no longer be calm. My youth?My feelings? ...It started when the husband's love was transferred to the sister.His younger brother Dorgon, who is the same age as him, is versatile in both civil and military affairs, how handsome and unrestrained!Didn't they connect with each other to the point of lingering dreams and restless sleep and food?After Huang Taiji passed away, Fulin was able to ascend the throne. Although he relied on Prince Li to strive for it, Dorgon, who was the most popular successor among the emperor's younger brothers at that time, was willing to take the regent and supported her son, the five-year-old Fulin, as emperor. In addition to many other reasons, for her, it was the reason Dorgon had repeated to her a hundred times in private!At that time, her feelings for Dorgon were self-evident.She was grateful to him and loved him. Didn't they spend many sweet days together? ... If he hadn't imprisoned Prince Su Hauge and married Prince Su Fujin; if he hadn't secretly gone to Lianshan to marry two North Korean princesses without telling her, then she would not have been accused of treason after his death easily agree.What now?The past passed away like flowing water, but the memories of her youth were still intoxicating, immersing her in beautiful feelings, even though she had brought so much melancholy... I don't know how long it took, Empress Dowager Zhuang wiped away the two tears from the corners of her eyes, He stood up gently and left silently. When Fulin woke up, half of the sun was already on the top of the west mountain, and the thin green light in the mountains wiped out its golden light, so the setting sun was like blood, and the evening mist was dyed a light purple. Fulin stared at the setting sun being eaten away by the mountains bit by bit, feeling that the annoying dusk was coming towards him bit by bit.The ease and comfort were slowly disappearing, and sadness and emptiness took over his heart again.He is afraid of the lonely dusk, which makes him miss his beloved even more.But the more I miss it, the more despair I feel, and the despair brings a deep and helpless desolation. These days, he indulged to the point of licentiousness, in order to get rid of this hopeless love.The frantic days and nights not only took a toll on his health, but made him feel even more empty and lonely.The women didn't understand him, they were looking for something else in him: favor, position, power, money.They flatter him, obey him, and fear him, but they just don't love him.This, he knew very well, because there was a strong contrast in his heart.So, afterwards, he felt dull and even disgusted. He hated these women and himself, and fell into the pain that he couldn't extricate himself from.The pain forced him to seek relief again, so everything started again from the beginning, repeating the cursed process, forming a vicious circle of madness. It was sickness that made him break this cycle, and he was alone in the palace, regretting the past.Tang Ruowang's remonstrance disturbed him, and he was doubly afraid of his crime.No!He would never live that crazy life again!He always thought of that noon when the peonies were in full bloom. The combination of a thousand women could not be worth that moment of love. It was a complete, complete fusion of souls! ... I don't want thousands of stars, I only want that bright moon; I don't want thousands of delicate flowers in the world, I only want that single peony!God, why don't you fulfill me? ...He stared at the last pink clouds in the western sky, there seemed to be vitality hidden there, which made him feel warm, and he was reluctant to return to the palace for a long time.The twilight was getting thicker, green fireflies were flying among the grass and trees, and the sound of bells and drums at the Meridian Gate shook the silent night sky. He sighed thoughtfully and murmured: "The fireflies in the Xidian are quietly flying, and the lonely lamp is exhausted." No sleep. Late bells and drums, early long nights, Geng Geng Xinghe and the dawn of the sky... "This feeling and this scene are thousands of years apart from ancient to modern, how similar they are! "Long Live Lord, the Empress Dowager sent Aunt Su Ma to bring dishes to the Emperor." The little eunuch also behaved well, and spoke softly. Fulin nodded.Aunt Su Ma and a maid carrying a food box went up to the platform to kowtow to Fulin.Aunt Su Ma sent the empress dowager's condolences, and Fulin bowed to thank her.Aunt Su Ma told the maid: "You send the food box!" The maid bowed her head and followed the little eunuch. Aunt Su Ma said: "Your Majesty, there is still something to do with the Empress Dowager, I have to go first. The palace maid spread the food box and let her go back to the Compassionate Ning Palace by herself. "After she said that, she left in a hurry. It was getting late, and Fulin couldn't see Lagu Su Ma's expression clearly, so she couldn't help being a little surprised. This is common before illness.But now, can a court lady get his attention? He stood on the platform unhappily, not wanting to go back to the hall.The maid never came out.He thought it best to send her away himself.Always be the person next to the Queen Mother, so don't be sloppy. Fulin walked into the dormitory, and the maid in blue robe was fiddled with the food box in front of the lamp behind the door. A big black and shiny braid hung behind her, swaying slightly with her movements, it was really pretty.Fulin didn't think about it at all, and just said: "It's late at night, someone will take you back to the Palace of Compassion and Peace!" As soon as Fulin spoke, the maid trembled all over, she turned around slowly, bowed her head and knelt down, mournfully, With tears in his eyes, he cried: "Your Majesty!..." Fulin was shocked, and rushed forward, knocking down two round stools along the way, breaking them into pieces. "Ah, when?" "I...don't tell you now!" Wu Yunzhu smiled sweetly, turned around to leave, but Fulin grabbed her, hugged her again in her arms, and said like coaxing a child: "It's not yet dawn, I'll send you off..." "No, no need. Su Aunt Ma is coming to pick me up..." Two days later, Fulin summoned Bomu Boguer to the West Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.During these three days, he has been trying to find a proper way to end the matter, but he is somewhat hesitant and timid, especially afraid of being charged with immorality.Not wanting an accident to escalate the matter quickly, the irritable Fulin almost flew into a rage. He barely suppressed the anger in his chest, and accepted Prince Xiang's kneeling.Anger masked any guilt and shame that might otherwise have arisen. Bomu Bogor didn't know what happened. He had always respected and feared the emperor's elder brother.After giving the big gift, he saw his brother Chang Li, and respectfully stood aside with his hands down, ready to listen to the instruction. Fulin couldn't control himself, cut straight to the point, and asked in a hurry: "How dare you imprison Wu Yunzhu Gege in the inner room, without food and water?" Call yourself for this. "She...she..." He quickly glanced at the emperor's stern expression, and quickly went on to say: "I, I want to divorce her!" Fulin was overjoyed and then surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Why?" Bomubogor was only fifteen years old after all, and he was not afraid of anyone except the emperor, empress dowager and empress dowager.At this moment, he was eager to confess, so he said bluntly: "It's been a long time, and she won't even let me touch her. Isn't she my woman? It turns out that she already has a heart!..." Speaking of this, Bo Mubogor blushed.For a man, if you want to say that your wife has an affair with someone else, it is a very shameful and difficult thing to say.But occasionally he raised his eyes to glance at the emperor, and the emperor's face turned red with blood, and his eyes looked elsewhere.Bomu Bogor didn't expect the emperor's brother to have such a close relationship with him, so he was very moved, and he said everything: "The day before yesterday, while she was sleeping, I thought... but I didn't know that it was in her underclothes. , I searched out a piece of plain flower paper! Your majesty, please look, isn’t this obscene poetry? This wild man must be a southern barbarian! A shameless person who pretends to be a romantic, a bastard, a bastard!..." Fulin had already recognized the piece of poetry paper.He had never been scolded face-to-face like this in his life, and suddenly he burst into rage and shouted: "Shut up!" Then, he rushed to Bomu Bogor with a few strides, swung his arms, and with a "snap", he slammed He slapped his imperial brother across the face. Bomubogor was so frightened that he hurriedly fell to his knees, and the pink poetry paper with sprinkles of gold and flowers fell on the ground. The eighteen-year-old emperor and the fifteen-year-old prince, both brothers were panting, and were beaten for no reason. It's hard to say. After a while, Fulin seemed to have returned to normal, and with a proud look, said recklessly: "I gave this piece of poetry to her!" Bomu Bogor was shocked, as if a thunderbolt had exploded above his head.But the emperor said another sentence that was more simple and clear, which made people dizzy: "I want to marry her!" fall.Fulin stepped forward to support him, stared into his dull eyes and said, "Reply to me in three days. You go!" The next day, on the third day of the seventh lunar month, there was a mournful voice from Prince Xiang's mansion: Bo Mu Bogor died. When the news entered the palace, the noble concubine passed out from crying, and the empress dowager and the emperor also shed tears.A few days later, the noble concubine cried to Empress Dowager Zhuang that the emperor's eleventh son, Prince Xiang, actually committed suicide by hanging himself. In mid-July, the Ministry of Rites, in accordance with the imperial decree of the Empress Dowager Zhuang to adopt Dong E's family into the palace, made a statement to the emperor, and will choose auspiciousness to enshrine Dong E's family as a virtuous concubine at the end of July.The emperor thought that Prince Xiang had passed away not long ago, so he couldn't bear to hold the ceremony, so he ordered the Ministry of Rites to choose a concubine of auspiciousness in August. September is the Double Ninth Festival, and the autumn is high and crisp, with white clouds and blue sky, and golden wind for thousands of miles. The thatched pavilion on the top of the mountain was specially ordered by Yue Le to build it. It has four pillars and six corners, stone tables and stone benches, railings on the bottom, and thatch on the top. Lu Zhiyue raised his glass, drank it all in one gulp, looked at the bottom of the cup to Yue Le, and said with a smile, "Get off the horse and drink your wine, and ask you where you are?" : "If you use this food box of thin wine to cleanse you, it will not only be too simple for you to laugh at me, but also make people call me shabby. This is just to cheer for Chongyang's ascension. As for the next two sentences: You are not satisfied with your words, go to bed Nanshan Frontier, let alone me." The two of them were already half-drunk, pushed up their glasses, and stepped out of the mountain pavilion to look around.Due to the fine weather, you can see twenty or thirty li at a glance: there are many mountains and valleys in the north, and flat rivers and winding rivers in the south.The refreshing autumn wind cleanses the mind, making it extraordinarily enjoyable.Being in the space between heaven and earth, one can feel the caress of heaven and earth and the breath of the universe. People become so small and insignificant;The prince forgot his honorable status, and the commoner threw away his usual reserve, and became lively and informal. "Don't think that letting go of the kings and the six books makes me sigh with dissatisfaction," Yue Le said with a smile on his face, looking at the mountains from a distance, "government affairs are complicated and complicated, how can there be poetry, wine, hunting and feasting so easy and happy! If something goes wrong, even if If the emperor doesn't commit serious crimes, his own reputation will be hard to protect! It's really not as comfortable as the officials of Zuo Zongzheng in the clan's mansion. I still understand the affairs of the clan's mansion, and I can take care of it!" Lu Zhiyue said: "Morning I heard that all the kings and the six departments caused a great uproar in the court, and the prince was the first to bear the brunt. It is really rare to be so indifferent." "It's not like you can deal with it indifferently at the beginning." Although Yue Le is fond of literature, he still maintains the straightforwardness of the Manchu people Features: "When I first heard the emperor's decree, I didn't like it. But if you think about it carefully, Manchuria started out with bow horse riding and shooting, and can win every battle on the battlefield, but how many people are literate, well-versed in history and politics?I still know Chinese and Chinese, and I still feel confused about the affairs of the government. The kings are all juniors, ignorant and incompetent, most of them are ignorant of affairs, and have many disadvantages.The six ministries are the yamen in charge of state affairs, so how can it be hasty.Among the kings, I am the oldest, the most senior, and I am among the most knowledgeable.If I retire, the kings will have nothing to say. Lu Zhiyue secretly sighed in his heart: "If there were more Yue Le among the nobles in Manchuria, the war at the beginning of the country would not have lasted for more than ten years!" "He cupped his hands and said to Yue Le: "For the country and the king, be loyal, and be a prince for the sake of being a prince, you can be regarded as not happy with things, not sad with yourself. "You probably don't know that the reason why the kings were dismissed from managing the affairs of the ministry was the unjust case of the ten old surnames in the south of the Yangtze River." ""really? "Lu Zhiyue was very surprised. "Exactly. You just came from Jiangnan, what did you hear?" 'Ah, this is worth writing about!On the day Jiangnan was released from prison, all the people were empty, helping the old and the young to go outside the governor's office in Jiangnan to watch each family pick up their wronged relatives and friends.Crying, laughing, shouting here, shouting there, sensation everywhere.The false accusers have all been imprisoned, which makes people happy.A scholar who was released kowtowed in the north direction of Dangqu passage, shouting long live long live!All the other releaseees and onlookers kowtowed and cheered, and the sound shook the sky. The scene really made me cry..." Yue Le's eyes were full of joy, and he was fascinated. Lu Zhiyue seemed to be sighing, but said sharply in his bones: "Just With force or torture, it will be so difficult! ..." Yue Le's cheeks twitched, and he glanced at Lu Zhiyue. There was a savage light in the depths of his eyes, which contained a kind of resistance and violence. Lu Zhiyue pretended not to see it, looked at the mountains and rivers, and said leisurely: "So, the king's way Those who are domineering will have the world for a long time, and those who are domineering will have the world for a short time.The emperor's benevolence, the release of the Jiangnan Prison, is the greatest comfort.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the hearts of the people were exhausted, and the people were extremely miserable. The court practiced more benevolent policies to win the hearts of the people.One sweet and one bitter, don't the people choose sweetness and abandon bitterness! "Yue Le nodded frequently, and his expression returned to his original calmness. Lu Zhiyue asked again: "I went all the way north, and wherever I passed, the governments of various states and counties were raising funds for land reclamation, saying that there was an order from the emperor. What's going on?" With a very matching teasing meaning, he said: "Let's not talk about this first, there is another important event, do you know? Xiao Er, the nobleman has entered the palace." "You mean Wu Yunzhu, E Shuo's daughter? I already knew that, three年前就入宫为襄亲王妃了，离京前又听说太后认她为义女。”“不，不！如今她入主承乾宫，八月初册为贤妃，本月已晋为皇贵妃，年前就要行册封大礼了！"吕之悦目瞪口呆，半晌才说：“这，这怎么可能！"岳乐笑道：“难道骗你不成！你忘了，我是左宗正。”“要论才德姿容，乌云珠堪配天子，只是，只是……那襄亲王呢？”“襄亲王已在七月初三去世了！”“啊？这怎么可以！这怎么可以！兄纳弟妇，常人亦不屑为，何况一代人主！礼义之国，同族从不婚娶，治棲之俗岂可见于今日！……”看着吕之悦痛心疾首的样子，岳乐抚掌大笑：“这才是你们汉人的迂腐！又非同宗血亲，皇上不过兄代弟职，满洲常有之事，有何不可！唐高宗子纳父亲，唐明皇父夺子妻，反而播之诗歌，艳羡不已，足见你们汉家文人口是心非，虚伪十足！哈哈哈哈！"吕之悦一时竟也无话可答。 岳乐笑够了，正色道：“笑翁，贵门生实在是皇上的贤内助啊！自她入宫，皇上病也好了，人也胖了，气色红润，品性都变得平和了许多。最难得的是，皇上和太后为诸王加了俸禄，安抚了八旗，近两个月，皇上连下三道谕旨，要各直省督抚垦荒地、清刑狱、惩贪官。这些政事以前虽也有过谕令，如今却是赏罚分明：今后各官升迁都要考核垦荒之数；刑法案件一年不清者罢官；官吏贪赃十两以上者杖徙、革职，永不叙用。皇上诚然爱民勤政，其中未必没有皇贵妃的功劳！"吕之悦非常认真地问：“那么西南和东海……”“郑成功手下大将黄梧率众归降，郑成功兵败，官军收复舟山。李定国、孙可望奉朱由榔退守云南，洪经略、吴平西、尚平南、耿靖南与孔定南部将分驻四川、两广和贵州，各自划地而守，势成远围。对郑、朱两处，皇上都一再谕命剿抚并用，以抚为主。看来，必有一段时日的平静……”“啊！"吕之悦轻声地喊，双手举向天空：“老天，老天！ 你总算哀怜万民、赐给太平了！二三十年的战乱、涂炭啊！ ..." 见吕之悦红了眼圈，岳乐不解地问：“笑翁，你这是……”吕之悦难为情地摇摇头：“老啦，心肠反倒软了。王爷马背征战，崇府起居，绝想不到这三十年战乱天下万民的惨苦！……但愿太平盛世早早来临吧！"吕之悦笑容满面，突然撇开岳乐，到草亭四周的草丛中撷摘野花。金黄的野菊、蓝蓝的矢车菊、鲜红的石竹，采了满满一把，他选了几枝特别艳丽的，插进衣襟和帽边。 岳乐笑道：“重阳插茱萸，你却戴花，所谓老风流是也！”“诗曰：人老簪花不自羞，花应羞上老人头！见笑、见笑！"岳乐道：“国家承平有日，求贤更不可忽……”“是了，是了。我只顾闲扯，竟把最要紧的事忘却了。这次我北上，是真正地交令了。再给你推荐三位贤上：湖北孝感熊赐履、江苏昆山徐元文、浙江仁和陆剑”“且慢且慢，让我记下。"他们一道走进草亭，侍从送上笔墨纸张，岳乐郑重地记下三人的姓氏、籍贯。吕之悦继续说：“熊赐履是当今难得的理学人才。治乱世、消疮痍、安民生，非儒学不可。徐元文有宰辅之量、宰辅之才，年少英俊，前途不可限量。至于陆健，才高气豪，在江南颇负人望。此次江南狱解，他也获释。 三人俱是白衣秀士，王爷不妨仔细访求。”“三位贤士现在何处？”“熊、徐二位，或许还在京师。陆健草泽亡命数年，一旦遇赦，总要回故乡的。只怕他不肯应承。”“但有三顾之诚，自会感动贤士……不过，还有一位，笑翁漏去了。”“谁？”“你！”“我？"吕之悦笑着连连摇头：“贤与不贤，自己难于评说。 但我这个人是决不可做官的。 " “你总不至于迂腐到耻食周粟吧？” “不是那个意思。"吕之悦静静地说：“我一生只堪为宾为友，不能为奴。"岳乐不觉变了脸色，有心发作，觉得不妥；想要含糊过去，又觉此人才高气傲，太不识相，有损他王爷的尊严。正踌躇间，不知从何方传来"嗯嗯呀呀"的奇怪声音，岳乐和吕之悦对视一下，亭外的侍从也东张西望，不等他们交换意见，那声音猛地延长，"哇哇"地冲破沉寂，从草亭一侧的深草树丛中飞起。婴儿的哭声！This is incredible!岳乐立刻快步走出草亭，吕之悦和侍从们随他一起寻声而去。草丛里露出一个不大的木头箱子，哭声从里面冲出来，尖锐而响亮，表示着不满和伤心。 打开箱子，里面竟是一对半岁左右的女婴，肤色洁白，头发乌黑，哭得声嘶力竭。吕之悦惊喜异常，抢上去把两个女婴抱有怀里，用他的长袍大襟把她们包裹起来。因为两个孩子各自只戴了一个绣着莲叶荷花的红肚兜，各人的左手上勒了一只小小的缀着银铃铛的银镯子。 吕之悦招呼侍从在石桌上铺了座垫，把两个婴儿摆上。她们受到老人的安抚，已经不哭了，并肩躺在那里，一模一样的两双黑眼睛天真地打量着吕之悦，看得这位从未有过儿女的老人心里发慌，又惊又爱，不知如何是好。 岳乐也走进草亭，赞叹道：“好一对孩子！父母竟忍心扔掉！看木箱上钻了许多眼子透气，倒是还想让她们活下去。"一句话提醒了吕之悦，他连忙在婴儿身上寻找，果然在红肚兜的一角，翻出一张字迹潦草的纸条：“念上天好生之德，大慈大悲，求恩人收养这一双无辜女婴，免入虎狼鹰鹫之口。"吕之悦把纸条给岳乐看，兴奋地说：“老夫一世无子，不料好运当头，天送来一双女儿！定是哪家女儿生得太多，溺死又不忍心，才出此策。好！好！老夫我谢过天地，谢过她俩的父母！“他站在女婴身边，向天地和四方深深作揖。 岳乐也为这奇遇高兴：“笑翁，这真是天赐福分啊！把这一对姐妹花带回江南，嫂夫人也要笑逐颜开了。"吕之悦笑道：“她呀，要把大牙都笑掉！"随后，他赶忙抱起孩子说：“王爷，下山吧，两个娃娃怕是饿了。"岳乐打趣道：“才做爹爹，就冷暖连心啦？这也是两个娃娃的造化，遇上你这好心人！……好，下山吧。”侍从们小心地抱着两个婴儿，簇拥着王爷和吕之悦慢慢下山。途中，岳乐突然压低声音对吕之悦耳语道：“笑翁，两个婴儿你先抱走，回京以后悄悄送一个给我，好不好？"吕之悦吃了一惊，短短半个时辰不到，他好象已对这两个女婴产生了父爱而难以割舍了，他问；"为什么？”岳乐有几分为难地小声说：“家家都有自己难念的经，你还有什么不明白？笑翁，我重重谢你。"吕之悦沉吟着：“这个嘛……““笑翁，就当是老友之请吧，不肯帮忙吗？"吕之悦只得点点头，心下很是沮丧。岳乐非常高兴，说话声音又大了：“本月中，下嫁外藩的公主就要还朝，理藩院和宗人府都要忙个不可开交。你我明天就回京。”“也好！"吕之悦回答得无精打采。 “还有，寻访陆文康的事，还求笑翁多多指教，回京后从速办理！……”一行人走下山去，情况相当奇怪：侍从威严，一路打道，吆喝行人回避；主人却青衣小帽，看不出身分；众多人役中又掺杂着两个婴儿，不时用响亮的哭声替主人的谈笑伴奏……几天后，在极其隐秘的情况下，吕之悦把两个女婴中的一个送给安郡王。两人在密屋中商谈了几条协定。岳乐要求：吕之悦绝不向任何人透露真情；将来的任何时候，吕之悦名下的女儿永不进京。吕之悦要求：保存两个孩子的肚兜和手镯，为将来孩子寻找亲母留下证据。他们给这姐妹俩取名时，推敲了很久。因两个孩子肌肤雪白莹洁，便一个取名冰月，一个取名莹川。不久，吕之悦就带着莹川南下回故乡去了。 岳乐寻找陆健费了不少心力，没有得到下落，他便派专人往浙江仁和去等候了。但陆健并未离开直隶。受傅大学士夫人之托去寻找陆健的柳同春，带回了陆健给傅大学士夫妇的一封信，对邀他进京的意思表示感激，但坚决地谢绝了，信中有这样几句话：“……某昔日之施，君今日之报，前后之事既奇，彼此之心交荆自兹以往，君为熙朝重臣，某为山林逸士，两无所憾，不复相见也……”傅以渐夫妇看后，叹惋不置，连着好几天都在议论。傅以渐感到一种无法言说的惆怅，素云更是忽忽如有所失，很长时间，心里都不平静。
