Road to Shunzhi

In December of the 32nd year of Shunzhi, the emperor formally issued an imperial edict, appointing the second prince, Jing E, as the crown prince, and his descendant Fujin Nala as the crown prince, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to handle the grand ceremony for the establishment of the crown prince.

Ribu was dumbfounded.Well, back then there was a grand ceremony for the establishment of the prince, and it was the emperor in front of him.But at that time, they were all living in Shengjing, with little money and few things, and the etiquette was even more ridiculous. Therefore, the ceremony of the crown prince's canonization back then was not grand, not even as good as the current New Year's Eve.

But this is a precedent. The prince of the past and the current emperor can't see the grand ceremony of his son's canonization, can he?The person in power is the emperor!

The Ministry of Rituals handed over the folder carefully, and it was no surprise that the emperor frowned.

"So simple?" The emperor's tone revealed a strong sense of doubt, "Is my subject not comparable to being capable at all?"

The Minister of Rites was sweating, and patiently began to explain: Your Majesty, we are not disrespectful to your prince, but there must be a precedent for everything, and we must not exceed it!

I see.Fulin himself really didn't think of this question. He still remembered that at his canonization ceremony, Huang Taiji ran to Guanju Palace that night, and muttered for a long time at Hai Lanzhu's memorial tablet, saying that it was entirely up to her. Only because of face, Yunyun canonize Xiaojiu.Because of being a good boy in Guanju Palace for many years, Fulin said something from the left-behind Nanny Ping the next day, saying that he has nothing to do, but Bumbutai hated him so much.

If you don't pay attention, so many years have passed.Fulin continued to order lightly: "Add what you need, add what you need, the Qing Dynasty has already entered the customs, why stick to the past example?"——It is best to be high-end, luxurious, and extravagant, he My son no longer needs to be as cautious as he was back then, wearing a mask every day, acting cute and acting silly everywhere.

The Minister of Rites retreated with a bitter face: The emperor asked him to increase it, but how did he know how much to increase?Or, go to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Sanji, to discuss it?

There is no psychiatrist these days, otherwise it would be easy to diagnose the emperor's problems.Things that a person did not realize when he was young can easily become his lifelong obsession, just like children who were strictly controlled by their families and had no time to play games when they were young tend to be more addicted to games when they grow up. The emperor is using the right children to make up for the lack of fatherly love in my two lifetimes.Sangji could vaguely know something, and just said: "Since the emperor wants to add more, there must be nothing wrong with adding more." Afterwards, he turned around and entered the palace.

He was Fulin's companion, and the two had known each other since they were young, and they had always had a good relationship. They left the family for Fulin's sake, kept their names incognito, and never complained even if they did some shameful things.Now he has finally got his head around, but in his heart, the emperor will always be number one.

The country is on the right track, and Fulin also left some things to his sons to do. It is rare to have some leisure, and he is also very happy to see Sangji: "I heard that your youngest son is going to participate in this scientific examination. Someday Bring him to me."

Sangji has two sons, the eldest son has entered the Ministry of Military Affairs as a pen sticker, and the second son is a student who has won the exam at a young age. He is going to take the Jinshi exam this year. It is a big deal to meet the emperor in advance. Grace, normal people would be overjoyed, but Sangji refused: "The dog's aptitude is blunt, and it is a great blessing to be able to pass the exam. Now he wants to be admitted to the Jinshi without knowing the heights of the heavens. The slaves can't hold him back, so we can only let him go. Where is he?" Are you qualified to see Tianyan?"

"You are always cautious." Fulin smiled.Even though he is in a high position, Sangji does not have the slightest arrogance, he behaves in a low-key manner and does things in a high-profile way, which he appreciates very much.

The two were walking slowly in the imperial garden, when Fulin suddenly sighed: "Sangji, do you still remember what you looked like when you first entered the palace? You were thin and small, hiding behind a group of people, inconspicuous, with a waist It's straight. In a blink of an eye, we are both fathers, Fuquan's Fujin was diagnosed with pregnancy two days ago, and I'm going to do Mafa."

Sangji smiled and said: "Has the emperor forgotten, the slave has long been Mafa." His son gave him a precious granddaughter the year before last.

"I always feel that there is not enough time." Fulin slowly stroked the finger on his hand.The pace of research and development of new products by the Ministry of Industry seems to have encountered a bottleneck and stagnated; corruption can only be suppressed, but cannot be eradicated; trade has brought endless benefits, and the superstructure generally begins to lie on the credit book, and life is becoming more and more luxurious. Trade and war The gold and silver exchanged became decorations in their house and jewelry on women.

There are too many things to do, and the scene is obviously still young. It is good to have the impulse of young people, but it still needs to be tempered.No wonder many emperors wanted to live a long life in the end. Fulin found that he now also hopes to live a healthy life.

Sangji looked at the silver light in Fulin's braid, and suddenly felt sad.He still remembered that that white and tender little dumpling finger pointed him out from the crowd, which made his life easier from then on.Since then, he has been following this child, from hiding in the dark at the beginning to the current Minister of Arms and Arms, no one knows how much he has paid, and now, he is also old.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking too much. The prince is smart and behaves like an emperor, but the emperor still has to make decisions on major national affairs. Please take care of your body." After thinking about it, Sangji still said Became like this.In fact, he really wanted to persuade the emperor to open up more, not to be always troubled by some unfavorable things, but masters and slaves were different, he really didn't know how to speak.

Fulin patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Now there are only two of us left. Do you still remember that when we learned from Buku together, only you dared to really knock me down?"

"You were young at that time," Sangji smiled shyly, "my servant boldly said that the emperor was not proficient in Buku and riding and archery. Ancestor Cheng was worried every day. Every time the emperor rode and shot, Emperor Chengzu They will keep an eye on it, for fear that the emperor will fall."

"That's right. Until now, I'm afraid that even the girl Shan Shan can't match my riding and shooting skills." Fulin recalled his daughter's heroic appearance, "Shu Shan is getting old, and the queen mother is urging her to do it every day. I set her up with a family, but I am not willing to part with it. Your youngest son is fine, but he is a little younger."

In fact, Sanji is also very sorry for this.The emperor doted on the princess, and Coral never obeyed the rules of staying out of the house and not going out of the house since she was a child. When she was a child, the emperor even hugged the princess on his knees to discuss political affairs.Therefore, several of their important ministers are quite familiar with Shan Hu, and the little princess is beautiful and cute. Everyone wonders whether their son is suitable.

"The son of Mingzhu's family is good in everything else, but he is not familiar with horses and bows." Like all fathers in the world, Fulin feels that there is no young man in the world who is worthy of his precious daughter.Nalan Xingde is a good-looking kid, a good-looking talent, and won the Jinshi by virtue of his own ability, plus Mingzhu's famous internal fear, he is a good candidate, but it is a pity that this brat is not good at martial arts, if something happens in the future , Is it possible to let my daughter stand in front?Fan Chengmo's son is pretty good, both civil and military.It's a pity that he is a Han, and Fan Chengmo's family has a concubine, and I heard that his son has a housemate, so it's fine to marry a prince, but absolutely not to marry a princess.

Therefore, the emperor's idea of ​​​​choosing a son-in-law is very strong: no concubine and no room, only good for his daughter, and must be able to enter the court as an official and military to protect the family and defend the country.This kind of request seems, seems, a bit high, so His Majesty the Emperor said: Anyway, my daughter is still young, so choose slowly, completely ignoring the reality that Coral, who is eighteen years old, is already an older leftover woman at this time.

The emperor was not in a hurry to marry his daughter, but Mingzhu was in a hurry.His precious son is already 21. In order to wait for this flowery princess, he dare not even have a room, for fear that if he makes a wrong move, the emperor will be furious, and his whole family will suffer.The son is also stupid, he wrote the poem on the left and the poem on the right for the princess, but he dared not send it out, only dared to hide it in the study and read it secretly by himself.How could this kind of thing be hidden from Mingzhu, looking at the portrait of the princess in the drawer of her silly son, Mingzhu's stomach hurts deeply and her whole body hurts.

Where in the world is a father who still cares about his son's relationship!No, getting married is originally the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, so there is no reason for the son to find the sweet girl by himself!What's more, his son's vision is still high, and he found a princess!

Fortunately, Mingzhu's wife is Azig's daughter.She is also anxious, the eldest son is not settled down, and the following children have no way to get married.So, the husband and wife discussed it, and the next day, Pearl Fujin handed over the sign and went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

Bumbutai and Renna also have a headache about Shanhu's marriage.Both of them are representatives of early marriage. Bumbutai was only 13 years old when she married. She was the mother of three children when she was as old as Shanhu.But the emperor said all day that Coral is still young, and Coral herself is not good enough, she always runs around, such as women's school, Royal Relief Society, everything is handled by her, forget it, it is said that recently they will set up a library called How can there be a man who is willing to marry a girl who is so capable!

Therefore, when Pearl Fujin had the cheek to recommend his eldest son, Bumbutai and Renna looked at each other, and almost made a decision on the spot without restraint.That's right, why didn't you think of such a good candidate?Nalanxingde and Fuquan had been together in the palace since childhood, and they all regarded him as a junior, but they really didn't think of him.

The young man is handsome, which is a plus point, and he grew up as a childhood sweetheart, so he shouldn't dislike the princess for being too capable, but he is already over twenty, and there is no one in the house yet, could he have health problems?Bumbutai decided to send someone to investigate secretly. If everything is normal, he will be the one.

Therefore, when the old lady and his wife told the emperor that they had spotted the forehead for Shan Hu and that they would make an order after a while, Fulin was dumbfounded.What's going on, is my precious daughter just going to be cheated by the brat?And it's too much for a brat to win the favor of my mother and wife.

Just like all the prospective father-in-laws in the world, Fulin decided that he must take this brat out and bully him severely, no, he should educate him.

The author has something to say:

I encountered too many unsatisfactory things in the past two days, and it felt like the whole world was against me.The article written in that state of mind is simply too depressing to bear to read, so I made a lot of revisions today, and finally I can read it more pleasing to the eye.

And, Coral is really an older young woman in the Qing Dynasty, the emperor is still reluctant to marry his daughter too early.
