Road to Shunzhi

The New Year of Chongde's eighth year was extremely lively.

On the one hand, the Mongol Duerbert tribe came to court, which proved Huang Taiji's literary and martial arts skills. On the other hand, the young prince behaved properly, calm and cute, and received high praise, which gave Huang Taiji a lot of face .Huang Taiji was very happy, and spent the whole year wandering around the Central Palace and Yongfu Palace, causing other women in the harem to dare not speak out.

Fulin is also very relaxed.During the Chinese New Year, we have to close the pen, there is no important political affairs, and no one will disturb the emperor without a good eye, so what he has to do is to go out for an exhibition when the guests come, and he will stay in the rest of the time. You can go to Yongfu Palace or go to the study room to read books.

Dorgon, Haoge and Duoduo were promoted mainly because of their achievements in capturing Jinzhou.The focus of his attention is not here, but on the massacre of the city afterwards.Not only Jinzhou, starting from Nurhachi, no matter where they attack, the first order is to massacre the city.

Whether it's rebellion or aggression, it's just for money and women. What's the matter with this kind of unrestrained massacre?Fulin only felt pain in his little head.Even if he knows that he will be the emperor in the future, he is still far away from his own government. Even if he is in charge, he is not sure that he can reverse the murderous nature of this nation.

"Prince, what are you doing here alone?"

A sudden voice interrupted Fulin's thinking. When he looked up, he saw Dorgon standing in front of him with a smile.

Dorgon glanced at the tall pile of books, and hugged Fulin: "You just like reading books, you have closed your pens, and you are the only one still going into the study."

Fulin put his arms around his neck: "Uncle, there are too few books here, can you get me some more Han books?"

Dorgon wondered: "Why do you want to read Han Chinese books? Are the gentlemen in the study explaining?"

Fulin laughed and said: "Huang Ama only knows to let me watch Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I asked Sangji to secretly get me "Records of the Three Kingdoms" and "Records of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty". So I want to see more, but Sanji can’t get it, can uncle buy it for me?”

Dorgon looked at his big flickering eyes, and swallowed the words of refusal: "Okay, uncle will buy it for you, what do you want?"

"Well, here are the Four Books and Five Classics. I want to read "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Historical Records", and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian"," Fulin rubbed his chubby fingers. .”

This kid really doesn't think of himself as an outsider.Dorgon just liked his small appearance, and teased him: "What if you don't understand?"

"I will ask the gentleman in the study, and I will also ask Mr. Fan." The Mr. Fan that Fulin said was Fan Wencheng, who is now a scholar and minister of state affairs, and the number one Han advisor under Huang Taiji.

Dorgon pinched his chubby cheeks: "Then what do you use to thank your uncle?"

Fulin thought about it, and kissed Dorgon on the face: "Emiang and sister both like my kiss, and uncle likes it too!"

"Okay, okay, uncle likes it!" As a person who is crazy about his son, Dorgon was kissed so comfortably by him, thinking that if he had a child, he would be as cute as Fulin, clinging to him every day, that would be nice.

"Uncle, uncle," Fulin called twice, successfully calling back Dorgon's soul, "Well, if Fulin doesn't understand some books, can you ask uncle?"

"Uh." Dorgon hesitated for a moment. He has indeed read books, but he spends more time fighting wars, and he is not interested in the sour words of the Han people. But if he admits in front of this small group that he understands Many, wouldn't that be too shameless?

Fulin continued to add bricks and tiles happily: "Uncle is the best, uncle must know a lot of things. Er Niang always said that I should learn more from uncle, can uncle teach me how to read?"

It is a very sinful thing to shake your head under the attack of this puppy's eyes, Dorgon nodded abruptly: "Okay, if you don't understand anything, just ask."

"Uncle is the best!" Fulin cheered.Dorgon pushed him to the neck without any hassle: "Go, uncle will take you out of the palace to play!" But he was wailing in his heart: It seems that he has to learn from the Han people when he goes home, otherwise how can he set an example in front of the prince and nephew? !

Shengjing is already quite prosperous.This day is the fifth day of the first lunar month. According to folklore, that day is the day to welcome the God of Wealth. All businesses have chosen to open their doors on that day, and the streets are very lively.

Fulin sat on Dorgon's shoulders and looked around with great interest.There were bursts of firecrackers everywhere, and there were laughing crowds on the side of the road. From the costumes, it can be seen that there are Manchus, Hans and Mongolians.No matter who it is, it is leisurely and seems to be enjoying the joy of the New Year.

"Uncle, where is there!" Seeing a small handicraft seller not far away, Fulin hurriedly pointed to the stall.

Duo ErGun followed good example and took him there in great strides.The old man who set up the stall saw them dressed in extraordinary clothes, and felt that he was very happy to meet such a big customer on the first day of the new year's opening, and introduced him enthusiastically.Dorgon put Fulin down, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I'm a child, I like this kind of thing."

Fulin looked at these wild and interesting little things, picked up a small bamboo chair, and asked, "How much is this set?"

The stall owner carefully set a price: "Two taels."

Just as Dorgon was about to order the guards to pay, his nephew's eyes widened: "Two taels? How expensive are these bamboo things? Don't be kidding, at most two hundred Wen."

"Two hundred Wen?" Now it was the stall owner's turn to be unhappy, "This little old man did it bit by bit, and the effort to split the bamboo strips alone cost more than two hundred Wen!"

"Three hundred wen, no more!"

"No, I'll give you the lowest price, one or two."

Seeing his nephew's serious bargaining face, Dorgon almost laughed out loud.The guards on the side were all stunned: This is His Royal Highness, how can you be so stingy?My future fortune is worrying, worrying...

In the end, a whole set of more than 20 pieces of bamboo crafts was sold at a price of [-] yuan, and a wooden dog pendant was also given as a gift.Fulin triumphantly handed it to the guard at the side, and said: "These are for Sister Atu, and the puppy is for Brother Eleven. I also want to buy something for Sister Aya, Sister Yatu, and the er Mother, Su Moer, um, and Emma Huang!"

Huang Taiji was ranked last, and Dorgon felt an inexplicable pleasure.He knew how cautious this prince and nephew was. If he hadn't had absolute trust in himself, it would have been impossible for him to say such "rebellious" words.

Dorgon was in a good mood, and teased: "What about mine, doesn't uncle have any presents?"

"Uncle is an adult, yet he still asks me for a gift, I'm ashamed." Fulin acted like a child without hesitation, and pointed to the jewelry shop not far away, "Go there, there!"

In the end, Fulin returned to the palace with his bodyguards covered in bags and distributed presents in a lively manner.Looking at the horsewhip that was said to be "specially" chosen for him, Huang Taiji felt it in his heart. In addition, Fulin brought a box of rouge to the long-gone Hai Lanzhu, and it was still Hai Lanzhu's favorite light pink and narcissus fragrance during his lifetime. , which made Huang Taiji even more satisfied, and personally made an offering to Hai Lanzhu's spiritual seat.

Perhaps it was because of the box of rouge that Huang Taiji didn't go back to his bedroom that night, but stayed in Guanju Palace all night, and the next day he felt a little uncomfortable and fell ill.

Concubine Zhuang couldn't help blaming Fulin: "You brought gifts back to the people in the palace. You are thoughtful, but why did you think of bringing gifts to Concubine Yuan? Your Majesty is in poor health because of this. If someone catches this loophole, you will be killed." will be labeled as unfilial."

Fulin scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, no one will be so stupid as to do that."——Huang Taiji's feelings for Hai Lanzhu are clearly that the old house is on fire and cannot be controlled. Bumbutai doesn't understand, he But you can see clearly.Wasn't his father the same in his previous life? The tragic death of his wife was not worth the fright of his new lover.

Therefore, no matter what he did, he would never miss Hai Lanzhu. This practice had been persisted for two years, and it had brought him many benefits. At least, Huang Taiji was treating him better and better.If someone came to find him because of this box of rouge, it would be tantamount to stabbing a knife in Huang Taiji's heart.

"You have to be careful with your elder brother." Bumbutai said seriously, "he has made some moves recently."

Fulin nodded: "I know. Uncle will also protect me."

"Silly boy," Bumbutai patted his head, "Even if you are Prince Rui, you can't rely too much on it. In this world, you can only rely on yourself."

"The only thing I rely on is my mother." Fulin added, "Ulanara's concubine is seriously ill, and my eldest brother always has to pay attention to his mother."

Hauge has been in a bit of a panic recently.His own mother was seriously ill. He went to the palace to see it several times, but was called by the queen of the palace, who gently said that he was old and not suitable for entering the inner palace so frequently, and told him to rest assured, saying I will take good care of Ulanara Concubine Yunyun.

Hauge didn't have any affection for the queen who stole his concubine's position, but he had to listen to her, so he had to reduce the number of times he entered the palace, but he was worried.

On the other hand, he found that Huang Taiji's attitude towards him began to blur.Previously, relying on his age, he made military exploits and was very prestigious. He has always firmly occupied the position of Huang Taiji's favorite son.Later, the eighth elder brother of Concubine Chen was born, and the emperor gave great amnesty to the world. Hauge felt the crisis for the first time. Fortunately, the eighth elder brother died of frailty, so he breathed a sigh of relief.Unexpectedly, the always inconspicuous Brother Jiu would appear and become the prince in a fair manner.

As an upright man, Hauge didn't want to do some ignoble things like poisoning. He could only watch Fulin's body getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed that there was no possibility of premature death, so he had to think of other ways.During this hunt, he tried every means to make Fulin and his party meet the wild wolf, and bought Yining with double insurance, but unfortunately they all failed, and Huang Taiji seemed to be eyeing him because of this, preventing him from making any big moves.

A few days ago, one of his remote Zhuangzi caught fire, and none of Yining's family members escaped from the Zhuangzi. This made him tense. He didn't know if it was done by Huang Taiji's people or Dorgon's people .The only thing that is certain is that the always smiling Ninth Prince Fulin is not as innocent and cute as it appears on the surface.

"That brat was praised by Huang Ama for his filial piety for doing such a thing!"

After learning that the rouge bought back by Fulin caused Huang Taiji to fall ill, but he got a bunch of rewards, Hauge became furious and slammed the table hard.

The counselor at the side persuaded: "From my slave's point of view, the crown prince doesn't have any great tricks. It's just that he respected the concubine Yuan, so he got into the eyes of the emperor. Brother might as well learn a little bit, the concubine Yuan should also be buried. , big brother can just take over this errand."

Haoge roared: "What's so good about that woman Hai Lanzhu? The emperor loves her so much and wants me to do such tedious things?"

The counselor sighed secretly in his heart: Eldest brother has been used to going smoothly all these years, you must know that being able to bend and stretch is the true quality of a man.
