Road to Shunzhi

Chuxiu Palace has always been the busiest place in the palace.The concubines of Huang Taiji had nothing to do all day long, so they went to Chuxiu Palace to chat with the queen mothers of the two palaces. After all, they would spend the rest of their lives in the hands of the queen mothers, and the queen mothers of the two palaces were easy to talk to. A good relationship has everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Therefore, when Fulin and Bogor walked to the door and heard bursts of laughter coming from inside, they didn't take it seriously at all.Xiao Huazi whispered in Fulin's ear: "Your Majesty, there is E Shuo's wife and her daughter coming to see him."

"E Shuo's daughter, is she the one who loves to read?" Bogoer interjected, "It's so boring."

"What does it have to do with you!" Fulin knocked him on the head.

The two walked into Chuxiu Palace, and they saw the little girl from last time, Wu Yunzhu, sitting at Bumbutai's feet and talking about something.A room full of women hurriedly stood up to salute, Fulin waved his hand, and after greeting the two queen mothers, said: "What are you talking about, so lively?"

Zhezhe pointed at Wu Yunzhu and said, "It's all about the cleverness of the tongue, which makes us old ladies so funny."

Wu Yunzhu lowered her head shyly, Bumbutai smiled and said, "Why, are you still shy?"

E Shuo's wife hurriedly pleaded guilty: "They are all slaves, they have not taught their daughter well."

Wu Yunzhu became even more shy, raised her head to look at Fulin, then immediately lowered her head, a faint blush could be seen.Bumbutai saw it, and couldn't help but sized her up.When Fulin had smallpox before, he had been in contact with this girl. Although it was not her fault, Bumbutai was a little bit angry and disliked her.

Shuo Sai has also reached the age of marriage. Recently, the empress dowagers of the two palaces have been looking for girls of the right age to come to the palace to see each other. They are planning to marry them as soon as they come out of the filial piety period, but they can't be so obvious. Girls like Wu Yunzhu are here as a foil.Now this girl seems to have taken a fancy to her son. While Bumbutai is proud of his son's charm, he doesn't have a good impression of this girl.

Fulin didn't pay attention to it at all, and after a few casual words, he walked out with Bogor who couldn't sit still.Wu Yunzhu felt a little disappointed, even if she lived her whole life again, she was not ready to face Bogor.In this life, the relationship between the emperor and Bogor is still so good, which made her embarrassed again.

In the palace, Bogor has always been a very special existence.The son of the noble concubine, he also pleases the emperor, under normal circumstances no one would dare to provoke him.Fulin was also used to this younger brother jumping up and down in all kinds of ways, so he just told the two guards to keep an eye on him, and he drank tea calmly by the side.

"Brother Emperor, look, there's a bird's nest in that tree!" Bogor pointed to a willow tree, and exclaimed excitedly, "I'll dig out the eggs!" He then took off his coat very quickly to climb the tree.

Bogor is a skilled tree climber, and no one was too worried, but unexpectedly this time an accident happened.Halfway through the climb, Bogor let go of his hands for some reason, and the whole person slid down.

The guards hurried over, but they stood far away, seeing that they couldn't make it in time, they saw a young eunuch jumping out from Fulin's side, using his body as a human cushion, and Bogor pressed him under him.

Fulin was also taken aback, quickly helped Boguoer up, and called the imperial doctor in a series of voices.Bogor stood up carelessly, patted the dust off his body, a little embarrassed: "I'm fine, don't bother the doctor, if my mother-in-law finds out, it's time to talk about me again."

"You know you'll be naughty and you're so naughty!" Fulin sternly said, "If you don't want to see the imperial doctor, don't even think about talking to me again in the future!"

Bogor stuck out his tongue, and said in a low voice: "The emperor's brother is becoming more and more like the regent."

Hey, does he look like Dorgon?Fulin silently touched his face, then turned to look at the little eunuch who was still lying on the ground: "Are you okay?"

The little eunuch seemed to be seriously injured, it would be the same for anyone who was hit by the little fat man.He struggled to get up and kowtowed: "Thank you for your concern, my slave is fine."

Seeing his hard look, Fulin frowned: "I'll call the imperial physician and I'll show you by the way. You saved Brother Eleven this time, so you should be rewarded. What's your name?"

"Slave Wu Liangfu." When the little empress heard the emperor asking her name, she was so excited that she forgot the pain, her eyes sparkled.

Wu Liangfu?Shunzhi's powerful eunuch, the one who was later killed by Xiaozhuang?The corner of Fulin's mouth twitched: "You are very loyal, I gave you to Elder Brother Eleven. When you recover from your injury, go to him to serve you, you know?"

"Yes, slave thank you Lord Long En!" Wu Liangfu was very happy.Although he was not able to stay with the emperor, but he got into the eyes of the emperor, and the emperor personally bestowed on Elder Brother Eleven, that was a great face.

Bogor was also very happy.This little eunuch looks very smart, much better than his current one.Fulin was also quite happy, no matter what reason his mother-in-law killed Wu Liangfu, in his opinion it was because Wu Liangfu was not good, and he was transferred away from his side for safety.

Even without Wu Liangfu, there would be no shortage of eunuchs serving Fulin.Xiao Huazi has been with him since he was a child, not smart enough, but loyal enough.The Ministry of Etiquette made a note that he wanted to bury Chongzhen's eunuch Wang Cheng'en with honor, and Fulin's thoughts were immediately abducted to the eunuch.

"Xiao Huazi, how old are you this year?"

"Slave is seventeen." Xiao Huazi didn't understand why the emperor had such a question, so he answered respectfully.

Fulin thought for a while: "I remember, there is a girl in your family?"

Xiao Huazi nodded: "Thank you, master, for remembering, the slave's sister is only twelve this year."

Basically everyone who entered the palace as a eunuch has a history of blood and tears, and Xiao Huazi is no exception.He was a man, but he was born of a slave. No one in the family took him seriously. Later, he added a younger sister. Now the family felt that these two children were a burden, so they even brought the slave and the brother and sister together. kicked out.Xiaohuazi had no choice but to support his family, so he gritted his teeth, became a eunuch, and was assigned to Yongfu Palace. Seeing that he was young, Bumubutai asked him to serve his son, also in order to give him a playmate .

"Remind me when your sister grows up and gets married, and I will add some dowry to her." As the emperor's personal eunuch, Xiao Huazi is now in his prime, and his sister should not be difficult to marry.

Xiao Huazi was overjoyed.His mother died a long time ago, leaving him and his sister to depend on each other.Fortunately, he has a backer in the palace so that his sister can live outside in peace.If there is a reward from the emperor, my sister will not be bullied no matter who she marries in the future.

Xiaohuazi seemed to be more attentive in serving her.For some reason, Fulin suddenly remembered Gao Hongzhong's strategy of defeating Ming: "No robbery, no adultery, no murder, no destruction of houses, only benevolent government."Some things are similar, he treats Xiao Huazi well on a whim, and what he gets is Xiao Huazi's wholehearted return. If he is kind to the people of the world, will he be loved by the people of the world?

He told Dorgon what he thought, and Dorgon gave him a strange look: "This kid, how could he think of Bachelor Gao and those slaves together?"

"Then uncle thinks what I think makes sense?"

Dorgon looked at the wistful baby who was pulling his sleeve, and couldn't help laughing, as if the baby would cry for him when he shook his head. These are really powerful.”

"Hmph, you're perfunctory again." Fulin found that she became more and more adept at pretending to be a child in front of Dorgon.

Dorgon hugged him, and said with a smile: "At that time, Master Fan also had a similar strategy to defeat the Ming, and the late emperor also thought it was reasonable. However, many things are not what the late emperor said. You can also see that the Eight Banners are also good. Whether it is Mongolia or not, they have to share some benefits, if it is true as you said that they will not rob or rape/fornicate, it is estimated that half of the soldiers of the Eight Banners will not want to fight."

"Fan Xueshi said, being an upright teacher, can't we do it?"

"It is definitely possible to do it, but it will take time." Dorgon's arms tightened, "If uncle can't do it, it will be handed over to the emperor."

Fulin looked up at him, and said in a low voice, "Uncle, there is something I don't know whether I should ask."

"Just say what you want, what's the politeness with uncle."

"Well, when the first emperor was alive, you also saw that I was always trying to please him in every possible way, so he treated me so well. My uncle taught me how to ride a horse, how to read, and how to deal with government affairs," Fulin said. His face was red, and he was a little anxious, "Uncle doesn't have a son, I, I want to have an Ama..."

Dorgon was shocked.He didn't have a son, God knew he was going crazy thinking about a son.He has always dreamed of having a cute son who can act like a baby, show cuteness, ask him for things, and show off proudly after learning something. Until later, the image of this son became more and more distinct: a pair of black and bright Bright big eyes, thin lips, and a naughty smile, just like the little emperor in front of him.

With trembling hands, he touched Fulin's face and asked tremblingly, "Really?"

"Really!" Fulin nodded heavily.

Dorgon couldn't bear it anymore, and hugged him into his arms, tears rolling down uncontrollably.Fulin felt his trembling shoulders and heard his suppressed weeping. For some reason, her heart was peaceful.

Er Niang said, try to trust Dorgon, but unfortunately, he can't do it.What he can do is to tie this man with family affection, at least, he wants Dorgon to believe him.

Duduo's progress in Yangzhou was not so smooth.He imagined that the people in the south of the Yangtze River were soft and useless, but he didn't expect that these people who he despised would bring him a lot of trouble under the leadership of Shi Kefa.After he captured Yangzhou, he wanted to vent his anger by killing and looting, but before he left Beijing, the Living Buddha had warned him, the emperor had issued an order, and Dorgon had emphasized it several times.Duoduo had no choice but to vent his anger on Shi Kefa, and Shi Kefa's family was imprisoned, including women and children, and lost their lives together.

When the news reached Beijing, Dorgon was very sorry. He wanted to recruit Shi Kefa wholeheartedly, and Fulin was a little dazed when he heard it.In his view, it was Shi Kefa who exchanged the lives of his family for the safety of everyone in Yangzhou, and the absence of Yangzhou Ten Days was entirely due to Shi Kefa.

He suddenly thought of a text he had learned before: Some people are alive, he is dead; some people are dead, he is still alive.He believes that Shi Kefa must still live in the hearts of tens of thousands of people in Yangzhou.
