Road to Shunzhi

Abate is a character that people love to hate.When Huang Taiji was still alive, he dared to mess with Huang Taiji. He always felt that his ability in terms of military exploits was no worse than other brothers, so why was his rank the lowest among the brothers.It's just that Huang Taiji didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, he just committed such a crime and was punished until the time of Huang Taiji's death, he was just a little Baylor.

Fulin promoted him two ranks in a row, first as the county king, and now as the prince.Abatai felt that he had lost face, so he thought that the little emperor was a good man unlike his father, so he was loyal to Fulin.With his leading role, his sons Bo Luo and Yue Le are also very good to the little emperor, and are a solid nail for Fu Lin to insert into the Zhenglan Banner.

"Let the imperial hospital send two imperial physicians to stay at Prince Min's mansion. If you need anything, just ask." Fulin ordered, "Xiao Huazi, bring some medicinal materials and visit Prince Min on my behalf."

Abate's illness seemed to be really bad.Years of fighting had left him with injuries all over his body; he couldn't protect his wife and daughter, and his status could not be improved, which made him depressed.Just catching up with the cold weather this spring, the old man didn't know how to take care of himself, so he ran to run a horse, and after sweating, he took off his big clothes, and the wind and evil entered his body, and he collapsed all at once.

"Let Prince Min's Fujin go back to the mansion. How can we do without a woman to take care of him?" Fulin ordered rather old-fashioned.Dorgon burst out laughing: "How old are you, do you already know women?"

You yourself didn't fall in love with my mother-in-law at first sight when you were eight years old.Fulin pouted, expressing that the precocity of the ancients was unimaginable to him.

The relationship between Abatai and Fujin is very good, so good that they are a little "inwardly afraid".Because his Fujin was dissatisfied with the marriage that Huang Taiji pointed out to his daughter, he also invited a shaman to his home to divination whether the marriage would be good or bad, so he was punished by Huang Taiji, and he did not directly let them reconcile. The eldest son, Bo Luo, went out of the mansion, let Bo Luo serve his mother, and separated the husband and wife.

Afterwards, Abatai didn't look for any more noble girls, but just got close to some low-status women, and even more doted on their children.Huang Taiji complained about his way of doing this, and his neck twitched: "The slave's Fujin is not in the mansion, the children have no mother, and the slave's father doesn't protect them, who else can protect them?" Tai Chi got a headache from his disturbance, so he turned a blind eye and closed it.

Boluo escorted his mother into Prince Min's mansion in a beautiful manner. It is said that Abate could sit up from the bed at that time.His Fujin has a strong personality. When he saw him, he slapped him, and then he started to cry when he hugged him.Abatai just ate this way, and after being cried and beaten by his own Fujin, he felt comfortable all over.

Under Fujin's care, Abatai recovered quickly.Boluo and Yue Le are grateful to Fulin to the bottom of their hearts: Although this father is a little out of touch, he is a dear father who loves them with all his heart, who would like his father to die of illness like this!

Atu got married in March.Fulin decreed that she be named the eldest princess Gu Lun Shuhui, and Sebuteng from Bahrain came to Beijing to marry her in person, which was unprecedentedly grand.Bumubutai watched his favorite daughter get married with red eyes, and wished he could step forward to stop her and keep her daughter from marrying for the rest of her life.But she also knew that Atu was not young, and it would be unreasonable to stay any longer.

Seeing her sister getting married, Fulin wanted to beat up Sebuteng, her face was tense, and she tried her best to exude an aura of "never get close to strangers or acquaintances".

Dorgon couldn't help teasing him: "Your Majesty, this is a happy event, why don't you just smile?"

Fulin's eyes lit up: "Uncle, I heard that there is a custom among the Han people. When they get married, the woman's family will give the new son-in-law a big blow, so that he will not treat his daughter badly. Tell me, I will let the fifth brother go and talk to him." How about beating Sebuteng for a martial arts competition?"

Dorgon couldn't laugh or cry: "You are the emperor, and Atu is the eldest princess of Gu Lun, who would bully her. As long as you are safe and sound, Atu will always have this power."

That's right, but it's really not reconciled not to beat him up!Fulin sighed, and decided to order Ye Bushu, the fourth brother who married Princess Atu, to secretly find fault with Sebuteng.

After Atu's wedding, Shuo Sai's big wedding followed by Aya's wedding, the etiquette department was so busy that it almost vomited blood.Shuosai had long been crowned King of Duoluo Chengze County, and he had appointed Fei Yanggu's daughter Nala as his wife, but it was only delayed because of his filial piety.

For a time, the palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere, beaming with joy.Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Shen Zhixiang and others also led their troops to Beijing, and Fulin received them in Qianqing Palace.

Geng Zhongming Shang Kexi and others are well-known, the second of the three vassals, the current King Huaishun and King Zhishun, and Kong Youde is also well-known, he is now King Gongshun and the future King Dingnan.

These people all started out with military merits, looking at the pink and tender little emperor on the dragon chair, they felt a little contemptuous in their hearts.Seeing this, Fulin was not annoyed, anyway, the San Francisco would always withdraw in the future, so it would be nice to let the enemy lose their vigilance first.It's just that Dorgon was a little angry, and he acted like he was always led by the emperor when he spoke and acted. He didn't want to be seen by a few people, but it was a positive teaching material for the regent not to be greedy for power and to be loyal.

Time passed slowly like this. In order to balance the relationship between Manchu and Han, the imperial court reduced and exempted taxes in many places, which calmed down the anti-Qing thoughts in many places, and the people began to slowly recover from the war and started farming. , and hoped that under the court's subordinates, he could live a slightly better life.

Just when everything was going well, Tengjisi, Tengjite, Wubandai, Dorjiskabu, Mangwusi, Ermike, Shida and others from the Mongolian Sunite tribe turned back. up.They each led their troops to rebel and defected to Shuolei of the Khalkha tribe.Duo Duo was ordered in danger and named General Yangwei, and Fulin also took Shuo Sai, who had not yet finished his marriage leave, to go out with the army.

Nala was naturally reluctant, and packed her husband's luggage with tears in his eyes.He was newly married, and Nala was gentle, and Shuosai also had some affection for her, so he embraced her, and just about to say something, he listened to the report and let Chengze County King accept the order.

It was Xiao Huazi who announced the decree, Eunuch Hua of Qianqing Palace, and Fulin gave a lot of rewards, even including leather jackets, medicinal materials and other details.After Shuo Saixien sent Xiao Huazi away, he stared at the pile of things in a daze.

Nala was puzzled: "Master, is there a problem with the emperor's reward?"

Shuosai shook his head: "It's all excellent. You put it away, and pick up useful ones and prepare them."

——The little emperor has grown up.Shuosai thought of his own mother who was not going well, and Abatai's Fujin was sent back, and silently made a choice in his heart.

When the army went out, the supply of food and grass should be sufficient, the military department was too busy, and even Dorgon was too busy to hit the back of his head with his heels. Some matters of the court that the Sixth Department could not handle were directly handed over to Fulin.Among them, an excerpt from the household department caught the little emperor's attention.

After the Eight Banners soldiers entered the customs, they naturally brought their slaves with them. At the same time, they fought all the way and captured many prisoners of war.As a result, a large number of people poured into Beijing, and the capital could not accommodate it.The Eight Banners are not involved in production, so these captives and slaves began to use their brains to escape. After all, if they escaped successfully, conceal their names and marry a wife in various ways, wouldn't it be many times better than being a slave?

Therefore, from the end of the second year of Shunzhi to March of the third year, in just a few months, the number of escaped slaves reached tens of thousands.In this way, no one would plant the land in the Eight Banners circle, and no one would work hard to build a Zhuangzi. The nobles immediately felt that it was inconvenient, and suggested that the court order the arrest of the fugitives.

Fulin didn't discuss it with Dorgon, so he directly issued an order to arrest the fugitives. The fugitives caught would be whipped a hundred times and returned to their original owners. If anyone reported it, they should be rewarded.

It seems to be unsatisfactory, but it makes sense.Anyway, they are some slaves, if they run away, they will run away, and then they will be caught again, so why bother to mobilize people.Everyone did not refute, only the regent's face was a little dark.

"The emperor's decree today is very inappropriate." After retiring from the court, Dorgon directly raised an objection, "Why didn't the emperor discuss it with me?"

Fulin wrote lightly: "Aren't they just slaves, what's the big deal."

Dorgon said sternly: "That's not what you said. These slaves don't take their master seriously, so they should be punished severely, and those who hide slaves should also be punished severely, otherwise the remaining slaves will follow suit and will be punished. The livelihood of the Eight Banners is not good."

"Then according to uncle's wishes, what should we do?"

"Set up a yamen to supervise the arrest, supervise the arrest of escaped people, and punish the owner of the nest. In addition to whipping and returning the escaped, the owner of the nest should also be severely punished, the whole family should be executed, and the property should be confiscated. Joach was whipped a hundred times, and he fled to a barren land. If not, how could he make an example to the hundred and curb the tendency of fleeing people?"

Dorgon's righteous words are strict, but Fulin only thinks it is extremely unreasonable.No one is born willing to be a slave. Why don't those people escape when they have the chance to be free.If according to Dorgon's method, the punishment for those who hide is more severe, wouldn't it give the people another chance to raise troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty.Moreover, those who have successfully escaped will naturally stick together to protect themselves, and there will be no shortage of people who occupy the mountain and become kings.What's more, what do you need so many slaves for? Now it's a feudal society, not a slave society. People have to pay certain benefits for doing things, such as monthly money, otherwise, who would want to do it for nothing?

Seeing that Fulin didn't take it seriously, Dorgon was a little anxious: "Your Majesty, the Eight Banners are the foundation of the country, and the matter of escaping people is quite serious. If according to the emperor's will, the owner of the nest is not guilty and cannot serve as a deterrent at all. The fugitives are still the same, and the Eight Banners The impact is quite large, and it would be bad to shake the foundation of the country!"

"I don't believe that the foundation of the Qing Dynasty will be shaken by a few slaves!" Fulin didn't budge, "After enclosing so much land, we can hire people to plant it. Isn't it that a large number of people are losing their land? Wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone.”

"Is your majesty still concerned about enclosing land?" Dorgon stood up, "The Eight Banners have made great achievements, and enclosing land is their reward. If you don't even allow this, your majesty will make those who have meritorious deeds feel ashamed."

"When did I ever treat someone with meritorious deeds? I'm just talking about the facts. I don't want to give up money, and I want slaves to work hard. How can there be such a good thing in the world!"

"These people are slaves, and they will do what the master wants them to do!"

"The Han people don't pay attention to this kind of master and slave. Don't they also plant the land and open the shop?"

"It's the Han people again! Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Manchus, not the emperor of the Han people!"

"I am the emperor of the world!"

The two quarreled and refused to budge.In a panic, Dorgon grabbed the teacup on the desk and threw it to the ground.The clear cracking sound of the teacup made the two of them shut up at the same time, and an embarrassing silence spread in the room.

"Ah, what's going on here? It's so cold in the room, Xiao Huazi, why don't you add a charcoal basin? Really, everyone doesn't pay attention to their bodies, what should they do if they get a cold?"

The voice of Bumbutai who rushed over after receiving the news broke the embarrassment. The two who had just been arguing like fighting cocks turned to see her and blushed at the same time.

The author has something to say:

The fugitive law and the final failure of the enclosure proved the failure of the Manchu Qing to promote slavery in the Central Plains.But there are still remnants of the slave system, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is basically a retrogression of the social situation.

It is certain that there is a gap between the thoughts of the little emperor and the fourteenth uncle, and as Fulin grows up, this gap will become deeper and deeper.
