Road to Shunzhi

--

Before the emperor came, the show girls had already demonstrated their female craftsmanship, and Fulin was only the final check.

To tell the truth, Bumbutai thinks that this girl or that girl is also good, it would be the best if they could all be pulled into the palace, and it would be best if the cute little buns would come out of her stomach immediately.

Concubine Gui took a fancy to Tong's daughter.The Tong family is the banner of the Han army. The family has made great achievements in military affairs. It is low-key and practical. A daughter from this kind of family will definitely become a good helper for her son.Thinking of this, the noble concubine sighed in her heart, Bogoer really doesn't know how to discipline this child.

As her youngest child, the Royal Concubine was obedient to Bogor, holding her in her hand for fear of falling and holding it in her mouth for fear of melting, but this child was a bit incompetent and failed her expectations.I don't like reading, I don't talk about it, I like to play and fight all day long, but I can't bear the hardship of learning martial arts, so I only learned a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu.But every time during the martial arts competition, the people under him gave way to him, making him feel that he is the best Baturu in the world, and he likes to go to the capital to show off and fight injustices when he has nothing to do.But the emperor dotes on him very much. As long as he wants to punish him, he will go to the palace to find the emperor, and the emperor will favor him. I am even more lawless.

She has been observing this beautiful girl named Tong Layue for a long time, she is dignified and beautiful, and looks like everyone else.I hope that after the wedding, she can hold Bogor's heart and let him stop messing around.

Bumbutai also had a good impression of Tong Layue, but Fulin had told her that she would do her best to choose the concubine first, so she buried her unhappiness in her heart.Another outstanding one is Dong E's Wu Yunzhu, calm and well-behaved, it should be the type that the emperor likes, and he intentionally kept her as a sign, but when he saw her eyes falling on the emperor, Bumbutai felt a twitch in his heart. Shen—don't be a seductress who pretends to be safe, if the time comes to win the emperor's heart, wouldn't it be bad for the empress?

Soon, the results of this highly anticipated draft came out.Contrary to everyone's expectation, the emperor left only three people, all named Gege.Ningege of Dong E's family, the daughter of Changshi Kajihai, Eryin Zhugege of the Khalkha tribe of Mongolia, and Ruigege, the daughter of Turge of Niu Hulu's family.The queen mother was merciful and asked them to go home and prepare for marriage.

As for the two most outstanding women in this draft, Tong Layue of the Tong family was accused of being the concubine Fujin of the eleventh elder brother Bogoer of the late emperor, and Wu Yunzhu of Dong E's family was accused of being the side Fujin of Anjun Wang Yuele. The beautiful girls under the palace will be married by their families.

Leaving others aside, after receiving the order, Wu Yunzhu sat by the desk in a daze.She already knew this would happen, didn't she?At that time, the emperor held the queen's hand, how warm this scene looked.Wu Yunzhu picked up the picture of the buffalo in front of her, stared at it blankly for a while, then silently tore it into pieces—the emperor is no longer her emperor, so she shouldn't worry about it or be sad anymore, she wants to leave her own way.

In April, Fulin decided to follow the Ming Dynasty's whip method and made great efforts to revive agricultural production.There is a family surnamed He in Shanxi. It is said that they have been farmers for generations and are very good at serving wheat. Last year, the yield per mu reached more than 300 catties, which is simply unimaginable.Because of this, Fulin not only bestowed 500 taels of silver, but also specially handwritten a plaque "Five Grain Harvest Home" to the He family, and hoped that they would pass on their experience to everyone.

For a farmer who has lived for several lifetimes, getting the emperor's autographed plaque and the imperial gift of silver is like a dream. The old He family felt that the ancestral grave must have smoked, and decided to repay the emperor's kindness.Not only them, but even other farmers straightened their backs: Don't underestimate us digging food from the soil, the emperor even gave us a plaque!For a time, the enthusiasm of farmers across the country has increased somewhat.

The Ministry of Rituals was noncommittal about this matter, and it was only a gift from the little emperor. Their headache was another matter.A woman in Henan has been watching the family since the death of her fiancé. A few days ago, she was touched by a gangster when she went out, and she hanged herself when she returned. Her family and the local government applied for a chastity memorial archway for her.The Ministry of Rites felt that it was reasonable, so it wrote a note and hoped that the emperor would allow it.

As a result, the emperor said that it is not allowed, not only not allowed, but also criticized.The world is set for the first time, and the world is devastated. Playing festivals at this time?Stop it!Hurry up and get married and have a few more children to resume production!The emperor prepared and decreed that the widows of the people should remarry at will, and remarry from themselves, whoever they like to marry, but they cannot be concubines.For all widows who remarry and become the first lady, the government will give two taels of silver as a dowry.

This time things got bigger.Ning Wan, Fan Wencheng and others were alarmed, and one by one ran to persuade the emperor: Your majesty, the world has always said that the Manchu Qing is a barbarian. You are playing this game, not just handing it over to those who are anti-Qing and Fuming. in human hands?Women should be single forever. What kind of trouble are you encouraging remarriage in this way!

The emperor also had plausible arguments: the world has just recovered from the war, there are many widows, and there are many poor people who cannot marry wives.Widows and widows are more lonely, which is a phenomenon of social instability. Let widows remarry, middle-aged men want to support their families when they have wives, and the number of people who go to work as bandit rebels will be greatly reduced. Isn't it a matter? Is it a good thing?

Both sides froze.The emperor insisted on going his own way, and the ministers didn't have much to do. In the eyes of the Manchus, it's not normal for widows to remarry. They have no objections, but only the Hanchen are scratching their hearts and lungs.Fan Wencheng ran to Hong Chengchou's place: "You old boy is very uninteresting. The emperor is messing around, but you didn't try to dissuade him, but just watched the show."

Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "Hui Yue's words are wrong. To be honest, what the emperor did was for the sake of the people. In the Ming Dynasty, it was common practice for widows to remarry, and there were not so many people who opposed it."

"That was also the former Ming Dynasty." Fan Wencheng frowned, "Now it is the Qing Dynasty, and they are barbarians in the first place. If this order is made again, won't it be more realistic?"

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard mysteriously: "The emperor is not such a superficial person. Hui Yue doesn't need to worry about this matter, but it is serious for the Ministry of Households to think about where to allocate the two taels of money for the widow's remarriage."

Fan Wencheng also cultivated to become a master, his mind turned, and he thought of the mystery: "Could it be that the emperor wants to suppress the Eight Banners?"

Hong Chengchou smiled: "The Buddha said, don't say it."

The two old foxes guessed right, what Fulin wanted was to suppress the Eight Banners.Indeed, they were of minority origin, where the minority ruled the majority, and massacres and harsh oppression were a must.But if we continue to do this, we will either be overthrown like the Yuan Dynasty, or we will stand still like the Qing Dynasty in history and dream of a heavenly kingdom.

Fulin understands that the Eight Banners are the foundation of the Manchus and cannot be easily moved, nor can they rashly reduce their preferential treatment.However, he can increase the preferential treatment for the people little by little. As long as the differences between the Manchus and the Hans are narrowed, the national unification will naturally succeed in the end.

The remarriage of a widow may sound trivial, but it is actually a stinging stone.Regarding this matter, the Han people are not very strict, and the Manchus don't care at all, and the backlash caused will be smaller.If an agreement is first reached on this matter, many things can be done slowly and tentatively in the future.

Finally, the emperor won.After this decree, the people were in an uproar.Most of the common people are happy. As Fulin said, after the war just now, there are a lot of widows, and there are a lot of soldiers who can't marry wives. Two silver coins, that is simply a great good thing.Only some scholars began to scold their mothers: as expected of a barbarian, they behaved rudely and had a promiscuous style. Some people brought out the relationship between the regent king and the queen mother, saying that the little emperor did this to lay a good foundation for his own widow to remarry.

The best way to deal with this kind of news is to have new news come out.In June, the three selected princesses were sent to the palace by their family members, and then, the empress dowager released a group of maids on the grounds of praying for blessings.Fulin appointed Jin Zhijun as Minister of the Ministry of Officials. At the same time, heavy rains hit the capital and its surrounding areas. The Empress Dowager issued an edict to collect donations from married women for disaster relief.

As soon as this matter came out, the previous news really faded away.A large number of literati stood up and praised the empress dowager's kindness, and the emperor gave imperial brushes and ink treasures to two families with more money, and some businessmen also quietly probed to do something good for the victims.The empress dowager also agreed from the perspective of caring for the victims of the disaster. This is a big deal, the money for the disaster relief is flowing in a steady stream, and the emperor only needs to write a few words.

The imperial court was very satisfied, not only did they have enough money for disaster relief, but there was still a surplus; the merchants were also very satisfied.

So, hello, hello, hello, hello everyone, the only person who doesn't feel so good is little loli.

Ever since the draft, she knew that someone would come to share her cousin, but these three princesses were going home to get married, and she could still tell herself that the cousin belonged to her alone.But now that these three princesses have entered the palace, as a queen, she can only be magnanimous, and can only watch her cousin pamper other women.

Fulin didn't realize that he could be the bridegroom again. Without it, he just entered the palace. He didn't need to appear in person, and there was no ceremony. The Queen Mother took care of it. He didn't even remember that there were three more faces in the harem.At night, Xiao Huazi hesitated for a long time, but still didn't have the courage to remind him.The palace bets on who will be favored first among these three princesses, and whoever enters the palace at the same time is the first to prove who is more favored. Therefore, he was also very smart to keep silent and did not remind him that everything was up to the emperor.

Fulin raised his foot and said, "Go to Kunning Palace." In a word, the eunuchs and maids who were serving were all stunned: Do you want to do this, your majesty, you made us lose everything!

Helpless, the emperor still had to listen to what the emperor said. The nuns and eunuchs guarding outside the Kunning Palace were also stunned, and they all beamed with joy, as if they were celebrating the New Year.

What exactly is going on?Fulin's puzzlement reached its peak when he saw the red eyes of little Lolita: "What's the matter, everyone in your palace is acting weird today."

Little Loli threw herself into his arms: "Cousin, why are you here today?"

"Isn't I here every day?" Fulin was even more puzzled.

Little Loli raised her head: "Cousin, Princesses are entering the palace today."

It turned out that Fulin finally understood.After living in the monogamous modern age for a long time, he still couldn't accept the fact of the harem in his bones.However, as an emperor and a Manchu emperor, he also understood that he had to sell himself, otherwise the Manchu nobles would not agree.

"I'm sorry for you." Fulin patted the little loli, "I can't be the only one, but I will treat you well."

Little Lolita nodded vigorously, hugged him and cried out loudly.She knew that her cousin didn't like girls crying, and she also knew that she was a queen and had to face this situation, but she couldn't help it.

"Cousin, I'm sorry." Little Lolita said over and over again, let her be so willful just once, from now on, she will understand her position, and will work hard to be a magnanimous and tolerant queen.

The author has something to say:

It may be that the Qing Dynasty was a minority, and they were called barbarians at the beginning, so they were extraordinarily particular about etiquette, and wanted to get rid of the title of barbarians.In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the etiquette was really horrible, especially when it was imposed on women, it was much harsher than that of the Han people. Many women could not see the outside scenery all their lives, but just moved from one yard to another. .Fourth Master, who everyone likes very much, likes to distribute chastity archways, and it's still the same as wholesale.It has been the same from ancient times to the present, if there is any problem, it will be pushed to the woman first.
