Road to Shunzhi

The emperor still kept his filial piety for the empress dowager for three years instead of 27 months.This time the ministers learned how to be good, and they all followed suit. Even if they had to marry wives and daughters, they didn't make much fanfare.

In November of the 38th year of Shunzhi, he officially became a filial piety.Standing on the steps, Fulin watched the maids and eunuchs busily taking down the white lanterns and rehanging the bright red ones, feeling like a world away.This is the fifth time he has seen this scene, and his moods are different.After the funerals of Hai Lanzhu and Huang Taiji passed, he only felt relieved, and when Zhe Zhe passed away, he was just mediocre.It wasn't until Dorgon's death that he really felt the heart-wrenching feeling, but now it's Bumbutai's turn to make him feel even more painful.Even after three years, as long as he thinks of Er Niang, his heart will twitch.

The older you get, the more you think about things from your childhood.Fulin felt that he could not escape this circle.He began to dream all night and all night. In the dream, his two childhoods were intertwined. For a while, his mother took him to eat ice cream, and for a while, Erniang took him to Guanju Palace to do a little Fudao.He became more and more dependent on the queen, and every time he woke up from the dream, he would feel inexplicably relieved when he saw the similar eyes of Renna and Bumbutai.

Maybe, Erniang and uncle will live a peaceful life underground, right?To be honest, Flint wanted to bury these two people together, but he knew it would be too shameful to do so, so he had to endure it.However, Huang Taiji didn't want Bumbutai to accompany him, anyway, he had his concubine Yuan by his side, and he didn't care about other people.

The first month of the 39th year of Shunzhi was the first year after the filial piety.At first, everyone thought that the emperor would live a mediocre life, but they didn't expect that he specially decreed to have a lively new year.

The Emperor is such an elusive creature!When Emperor Chengzu passed away, the first year after becoming a filial piety was extremely deserted, and some older courtiers still remember it very clearly.The emperor doesn't even want to celebrate his own birthday, he can't wait to eat a bowl of noodles and let it go.At that time, the servant of the household department, Suozhuoluo Gaonan, celebrated the New Year happily, and was severely reprimanded by the emperor.

Compared with Emperor Chengzu, the emperor's affection for the queen mother is obviously deeper.Everyone was ready for a miserable and rainy year, but the emperor started having convulsions.

The shops in the capital suddenly became hot.They also learned the lesson many years ago, they didn't stock much, and now they are all busy looking for sources of goods.Only Liao Xia hoarded a large sum of goods, generously allocated part of it to Gao Sai's shop, and made a lot of money.

Mingzhu was so greedy that he invited Liao Xia to treat him in the name of a big eater. When the wine was hot, he asked in confusion: "How did Wen Chan know the emperor's thoughts and keep so many goods in the shop?"

Liao Xia smiled mysteriously at him, and said in a low voice, "What is the emperor's birthday this year?"

Mingzhu was stunned: "Six out of forty."

Liao Xia clapped his hands: "That's right, the emperor is no longer the young man he was back then. The queen mother lived a simple life and often donated money and materials to the Royal Rescue Society. Brother Duan Fan should remember that the emperor has persuaded me many times about this. Now, In order to comfort the Empress Dowager's soul in heaven, the Emperor will definitely liven up this year with excitement. Brother Duan Fan is much better than younger brother in figuring out the Holy Will, why can't he figure out such a simple truth?"

"Extremely extreme!" Mingzhu clapped his palms, he only thought that the emperor would be in grief, but he didn't think about this aspect, as expected, his business acumen was not good enough.Mingzhu's family still has several shops, and there is one that sells imported products. He immediately agreed with Liao Xia that the two companies will cooperate in business and make money together. This is a good brother.

With a bulging purse, Mingzhu was in a good mood. When he got home, he encountered another good news: his princess daughter-in-law also had a bulging belly.

He's going to be a grandpa!Mingzhu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.Coral and Nalan Xingde have been married for a long time, but there has been no news from their stomachs. In the middle, they met the empress dowager's filial piety, and they cannot have children for at least three years.Mingzhu almost jumped up and down and ran to greet the princess, and then met her son who just came back from going out on the way, who was also jumping up and down.

Coral was caressing her belly, and it was incredible that there was a little life growing under such a flat belly.Although she doesn't think that a woman's mission is to marry and have children, the innate motherhood still quietly emerges in her heart, and her whole person exudes a gentleness from the inside out.

Nalan Xingde was like seeing a woman for the first time in his life. He was completely stupid. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He just circled around the coral and said "Is it cold?" "Are you hungry?" Mingzhu couldn't look directly at her with that appearance.He coughed twice to remind his stupid son, and after asking a few questions pretending to be serious, he just remembered that he still had the responsibility to report the good news to his in-laws, turned around and happily handed the sign into the palace.

"When Erniang was pregnant with her third brother, you didn't see Ama's appearance. She kept calling her a good girl to Erniang's belly. She also bought a lot of little girl's jewelry headbands and came back, facing her forehead every day. Mother’s belly is so stupid. I thought it was a younger sister, but it turned out to be a younger brother.” Nalan Xingde revealed the embarrassing things about his father to his daughter-in-law very unkindly, showing that he was normal, and the stupid one was his father. At the same time, he stared blankly at Shan Shan's belly, imagining several little buns running out of it holding hands.

Shan Shan smiled and said, "What about you, do you want a son or a daughter?"

"Son!" Nalan Xingde replied decisively, "We must teach our son both civil and military skills, so as to protect his beautiful younger sister from being bullied by bad guys!"

"Hey, who is going to have a few more children with you?" Coral blushed and lowered her head, imagining a son who looked like her son-in-law and a daughter who looked like her, it was really good.

Coral's pregnancy cheered up the dreary palace.Ren Na wept with joy, she had been worried that her daughter would be like herself, and now she was finally relieved.Fulin was also very happy, and went to the Compassionate Ning Palace in person, and murmured with Bumbutai's tablet for a long time. If Ren Na didn't stop him, he even wanted to open the Taimiao to chat with Dorgon about it.After the excitement passed, he gave countless things to his precious daughter. For a while, Princess Gu Lun Ruyi's imperial favor made everyone in the capital amazed.

This year has been more joyful.The [-]th day of the first lunar month is Fulin's birthday. Fulin has never had the habit of celebrating his birthday in a big way, not even celebrating his entire birthday. This time is no exception. It's just a reunion for dinner.These years, Fulin was busy with political affairs, coupled with keeping filial piety, he hardly ever set foot in the harem. Seeing the few Gege present, he suddenly realized that he did not only have Ren Na as his wife.

Life in the harem is difficult, everyone is not favored, even if they fought with each other when they were young, now the disputes of the past have gradually disappeared, and there is a sense of mutual support instead.The youngest among them should be Nala's Yingege, but even she has white hair.

Ren Na is considered the best-kept of these women, she is the oldest, but she is still glamorous.Fulin suddenly realized that he still did the thing that he disdained and despised the most back then.He likes Renna, but he can only give her a daughter. He doesn't like those women, but he wants to bring them into the harem and have children with them.

I am sorry for them.For the first time, Fulin felt guilty towards these women. He did not regret what he had done, but these people were innocent.They entered the palace with the family's expectations on their backs, and then lived a long life in the deep palace.

There was a big collective salary increase in the harem. Everyone's status did not increase, but their status increased a lot.Originally, Fulin was ready for the censor to write an objection, but to his surprise, there was no one who disagreed.Even Jing E was curious about this phenomenon, went out to inquire about it, and then came back with a smile and told Fulin: The Ministry of Households checked the expenses of Huang Taiji's harem and the current harem expenses, and found that the current emperor is too frugal. Even with the addition of money, it is only a fraction of what it was during the Huang Taiji period.Therefore, everyone felt that they were sorry for the emperor. The emperor did not take the initiative to mention it, and they did not think that it would be good not to plead guilty, let alone object.

Well, there are still many advantages to having fewer women.Fulin felt helpless again, so he brought his son over to educate him: Look, Ah Ma has the foresight, there are few people in the harem, and there are few things to do.Yu private, your mother-in-law will not get too angry because of jealousy, nor will she work too hard because of taking care of the harem; come!

Yes, yes, Huang Ama Shengming!Jing E only felt the black lines on his forehead.Besides the crown princess, there are two other concubines beside him, and there are no side concubines, so this is the truth why he is favored by Huang Ama?Also, Huang Ama is becoming more and more verbose, no matter what trivial matters can be involved in governing the country, and then she babbles a lot.

The 39th year of Shunzhi is destined to be a joyous year.Not to mention that Coral is pregnant, Yongqian is getting married, and Ya Liqi is getting married. These two things keep the etiquette department busy.And Fulin found a neat talent in the Ministry of Rites, named Zhang Ying, who was a Jinshi in Shunzhi for 20 years.Similarly, when Jing E looked through the records at Zhan Shifu, he found a man named Gao Shiqi who was knowledgeable and answered ten questions.

In June, there was a severe drought in the capital area. Fulin personally went to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain. Two hours later, the heavy rain came, and the South Study Room was almost flooded by the excerpts praising the government and the public.Liao Xia, who had already been the first assistant of the South Study Room, stroked his beard, and threw all these papers into a large bamboo basket, and let Gao Shiqi, who was new to the South Study Room to make soy sauce, record them for archiving.

After autumn, England sent a second group of envoys to capture Frederick.Reluctantly, Frederick was still devoted to his dream of building a friendly nation, consciously and proactively asked for progress, undertook almost all the translation work, and decided to stay in Daqing and never leave.At the same time, the caravans of the Qing Dynasty discovered that the American Indians were very rich and could do business, and that the land was so vast that they could buy some.

In November, another small broom star appeared in the sky.Qin Tianjian has long been accustomed to his own emperor's constitution that provokes natural disasters from time to time, and Fulin also exempted Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places from taxes as usual, saying that he is a reasonable and good emperor.In December, the Burmese envoys arrived with credentials. It turned out that Sao Baxing had visited Burma in the past. Wu Sangui died of illness, Wu Yingxiong came to the throne, and Princess Jianning became the queen.Wu Yingxiong said that generations have been the vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, paying tribute every year and becoming a minister every year.North Korea and Ryukyu also sent people to pay tribute, for fear that the Qing Dynasty would forget about them.

In this peaceful environment, Shan Shan brought his two-month-old daughter into the palace, and Fulin was reluctant to let go of his granddaughter - he could not escape the law of intergenerational parenting, not to mention that the child has grown a pair of agile The big eyes are exactly the same as when Coral was a child.

I am really old.Teasing the little granddaughter, Fulin thought of the grandchildren of the Fu family and the Jing'e family who hadn't rented a house for three days, and once again said that he was right in favoring his daughter, as it turned out that the little girl was the most lovable.
