Road to Shunzhi

Chapter 118

Jing E was brought out by Dorgon since he was a child. Although his later growth methods were mainly in the study and listening to the court, he still left Dorgon's brand in his work: only look at the results, regardless of the process .

To appease the emotions of the Manchu nobles, the most important thing is not to satisfy their demands, but to change the subject.At this point, Jing E received his father's true biography, and began to practice Tai Chi.

What the nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty wanted, to put it bluntly, was the benefits.At present, the most lucrative position is undoubtedly the customs, but all the customs are firmly controlled by the emperor, and the officials employed are changed every three years, and they are all the emperor's confidantes.The richest person in the capital is naturally the head of the House of Internal Affairs, and Sangji, the emperor's younger brother, has concurrently served as the head of the House of Internal Affairs and Admiral of the Nine Gates for many years, and the emperor seems to have no intention of changing people.

The nobles, of course, disagreed.Back then, their ancestors were born and died, shedding their heads and blood, in exchange for the Qing Dynasty to rule the world. Now that these heroes have not died, is the emperor just playing rabbits and dogs?The fat meat from Jiangnan, the fat meat from the customs, and the fat meat from the Turkish trade route all don't know how to share it. It's simply too much!

In this regard, Jing E also had some criticisms.In his opinion, his father is good at everything, but he is too stingy.The nobles are intertwined, if they are united and powerful, it is better to distribute some benefits to them, hang them, and let them fight among themselves.

Therefore, Jing E cautiously proposed to Fulin to refine the departments in the customs and allocate a part to the nobles.During the process of narrating, he would look up at Fulin's face from time to time, for fear that his father would be upset by those words.

Fulin was somewhat dumbfounded.He is indeed not generous, but he has to be divided into whom. He has never been stingy with a few children. I don't know why Jing'er is so nervous.Of course, he understood the thoughts of the nobles of the Eight Banners, but he never let go of his hand, the purpose was to give Jing Er a chance to show favor.As the emperor, he is too strong, which will create a relatively strong comparison effect for the successor.Maybe it's because he had a happy childhood, a happy family, and Jing Er's temper is much milder than him, which is very good. If he continues to be strong, it will be bad for the country and the people.However, what attitude will the ministers who have experienced an emperor like him have towards Jing E?Maybe he will breathe a sigh of relief, or maybe he will be contemptuous in his heart, no matter what kind, it is not what Fulin wants to see.

"According to what you see, what should I do?" Fulin leaned on the dragon chair relaxedly, looking at his son, feeling like "my family has a son who has just grown up".

Jing E pondered for a while, and said: "The terrain in Fujian is too critical. The area around Jiangsu and Zhejiang is a land of fish and rice, so it is not suitable for them to hand over to them. There are two ports in Guangzhou and Tianjin."

"Go and draw up a note, and discuss it at the court meeting." Although it is not comprehensive, at least it can solve certain problems.The benefits of the customs are distributed, and the nobles will definitely not clamor for the ban on the sea.But people's hearts are always insufficient. With a customs office, they will pursue more interests. Moreover, with the income of the customs office, their power will increase, and future containment will become more and more troublesome.

The pot exploded in the hall.Customs, who is not greedy for the benefits of Hongguoguo?Over the years, China's trade surplus has been astonishing. The imperial court even used high tariffs for trade protection, but there was no way to prevent a steady stream of foreigners from coming to buy tea, silk and other things.Everyone seems to have selectively forgotten the sea ban, and no one mentioned it again.

But Fulin couldn't spare them, and suddenly changed the subject, talking about Tsarist Russia.With the carrot of customs hanging in front, Tong Guowei's murder and surrender incident was also selectively forgotten by the collective, and they were all filled with righteous indignation at Tsarist Russia.

The emperor did not forget.The killing was inauspicious, and Tong Guowei's merits and demerits were equalized. There was no reward for winning a battle, and he was transferred to another job.Suo'etu played a negative role in the killing and surrender incident, and he was also punished, but he was promoted to an official by half a rank.

"You brat, I've made me complain with you!"

"It's not that you nagging in Lao Tzu's ear from time to time, saying that Lao Mao is so hateful, and Lao Tzu will not kill them all on impulse!"

When Suo'etu and Tong Guowei returned to the court, they didn't get the welcome they had imagined - didn't they just win a few old men, what's the big deal!These years, the hearts of the people have been hardened. The country is always at war, and the world is always at war. Wars are not as scary as they used to be, but have become commonplace.

So, these two guys are dissatisfied.A group of soldiers were together, and naturally they didn't hold back their mouths. The two ran to a teahouse, booked a room, and started to tear each other down.

After chatting for a while, the two fell silent at the same time.Fortunately for the Tong family, Tong Layue is Boguoer's concubine Fujin, who gave birth to three sons and a daughter, and her status is unbreakable.Boguoer is a well-known idle prince. He was still in charge of the Royal Relief Society. Later, Princess Coral intervened strongly and took over all the daily work of the Relief Society. Boguoer was just a name.Therefore, he did not pose any threat to the emperor, and the emperor was willing to go along with him in some small matters. He readily gave him the title of Iron Hat King, and named Tong Layue's eldest son the crown prince.Therefore, as long as the Tong family doesn't make some big mistakes, behaves well, and educates the next generation well, maybe it will rise.But Suo'etu's family is different. His father, Sony, is guilty of treason, and his family is supported by him alone. Up to now, no nobleman is willing to marry the Hesheli family. If he falls, the whole family will follow. bad luck.

"Oh, I was confused at the time." After thinking about it, Tong Guowei felt that he was quite sorry for his brother, and he won't get any benefit if he won the battle.

"It's also the old man who is too annoying." Suo'etu threw a peanut into his mouth, "If you kill it, just kill it."

Tong Guowei looked around, then suddenly leaned over, and said in a low voice, "Do you want to make amends?"

"What do you mean?" Suo'etu glared at him.

"Prince."

Tong Guowei spit out two words softly, and Suo'etu's heart moved.

The emperor came to the throne from the prince, and he valued the authentic lineage, and had a good relationship with the queen.The second prince grew up under the empress' knees, he was considered half a legitimate son, and was born to the concubine Rui of the Niu Hulu family, so it was no problem to have the support of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.Now the second prince is also very popular in the court, after all, he is in charge of the academy, and he is in charge of the pens of scholars all over the world.So, if you propose to the emperor to establish a prince...

Suo'etu's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head again: "The time has not come yet."

Tong Guowei disagreed: "Isn't it possible to do something like an opportunity?" Didn't Liao Xia just send a white deer back then?

Indeed, Suo'etu's brain began to run at high speed: he can't follow him to send white deer and white turtles, and he must have a new trick, right?

The court was still arguing about the change of ownership of the customs, but Fulin still held on tightly and refused to let go, but sent Qingshan from Niu Hulu's family to the port of Tianjin.Just a little bit of benefits leaking out from between the fingers is enough for people to see the dawn of victory, and Suo'etu also saw his own bright future: Niu Hulu Qingshan is Ruifei's elder brother!

So, how can a miracle be produced?While Mr. Suo'etu was thinking hard, in September of the 32nd year of Shunzhi, there was an earthquake.

D!Suo'etu was about to cry.Earthquakes are definitely not a good thing!And what exactly did you do, the emperor, to cause anger and resentment? You have encountered all kinds of unlucky things, such as earthquakes, brooms, stars, eclipses, and Venus in the daytime!

The earthquake was quite serious. Many houses collapsed and some people were injured.Fortunately, it was during the day, if it was night, the casualties would be even more severe.Everyone has devoted themselves to the post-disaster epidemic prevention and reconstruction work. The night in September is already quite cold, and the Royal Relief Society is still busy distributing disaster relief supplies, and the coral is very busy.

Suo'etu also joined the disaster relief industry. He worked hard for the position of the South Study Room. He also donated money to the Royal Relief Society, and asked his servants to help, trying to leave a good place for Coral Princess. impression.And he himself rushed to the Xiandi Temple immediately. He knew that the statue of Emperor Chengzu there was the most precious. If there was any damage, it would be a great achievement for him to repair it in time.

Surprisingly, there is nothing wrong with Xiandi Temple.It's no wonder that it was built with the best materials and craftsmen back then, and the anti-seismic effect is first-rate.As for the statues of the emperors, not even a piece of colored clay was dropped.

The great opportunity for meritorious service slipped away.Suo'etu bowed to these lifelike statues one by one with regret, and when he visited Chengzu Emperor Dorgon, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

After the earthquake relief work temporarily came to an end, Suo'etu wrote the letter.He shamelessly claimed that the safety of the Xiandi Temple in this earthquake must be due to the protection of the spirits of the Xiandi in heaven.He also did a field trip around, and found that the harvest in the village next to the Xiandi Temple is particularly good, and the business of the small merchants is a bit better than other places. It must be under the cover of the Xiandi!It can be seen from this that those who are covered by the former emperors are blessed, so the second prince Jing Er, who was personally taught by Emperor Chengzu, must also be a blessed person.The second prince was under the queen's lap since he was a child, and he was taught by the emperor Chengzu. His name is justified, and the second prince's handling of affairs is neat recently, which is quite similar to that of the emperor Chengzu back then.Therefore, he asked the emperor to make Jing'er, the second prince, the crown prince.

Everyone silently raised a middle finger in their hearts, cursing in colorful and various fonts: This guy said everything, what do you want them to do?Could it be that they say that the second prince, who was tired of being with Emperor Chengzu every day, is not qualified?Whoever dares to say that is a martyr!

Not to mention Tong Guowei and Mingzhu who had a good relationship with Suo'etu, Han Chen such as Fan Chengmo and Liao Xia also thought it was good.After all, the prince's name is right and proper, so everyone agreed to make the second prince, Jing Er, the prince.

Fulin's five senses were mixed in his heart: He is not yet forty, he is still very young, why are the courtiers starting to think about their successors?Well, he had decided to let Jing Er take the throne early in the morning, but why was it a little awkward?Thinking that someone will take over this great country and make a promise in his place, why does he feel so uncomfortable?

In any case, the matter of conferring the crown prince was brought to the table.Fulin looked at the grown sons in front of him, and sighed: the world still belongs to them after all.

The author has something to say:

Originally, I was going to let Fulin abdicate and take the queen to travel around, but after thinking about it, it was really unreasonable. This guy has been the emperor for so long, and his obsession with power has reached a certain level, so he can't make small words There are things like "walking the world with true love" in the article.Well, I always think that the emperor who gave up his country for a woman in Xiaoyan is a wonderful creature.

In other words, have you noticed that the strong in the copy has turned into building a country?That word is said to be harmonized.
