Road to Shunzhi

I studied red envelopes for a long time today, and after I sent a few, it showed that my balance was exceeded, and I was not allowed to send them. I will try again tomorrow.

Today's text is still in the words, it can be regarded as another way to send red envelopes to everyone, I will work hard to update it every day, and make a fist!

Well, it is said that the VIP chapter cannot be less than 167 characters, so let me babble a few more words.The company has recruited a few new interns, all of whom are so young, which makes me envious and jealous.But why are the interns now so cautious?Don't talk too much, don't do much work.I think back when I just graduated, I had to rush to do the work even if the leader didn’t explain it to me. No matter who I met, I would smile all over my face, and I couldn’t be sweet-mouthed. Wandering around, even helping everyone wipe the table and pour tea or something.As a result, I became a full-time employee within a month, and everyone in the company was very willing to teach me. Even the engineers in the technical department gave priority to my work and even took the initiative to teach me some technical things.The children nowadays are not as thick-skinned as half of mine. I am also the baby of the family. I grew up spoiled by my parents.Thick-skinned children, come to my bowl!

The author has something to say:

As soon as the decree of Fulin's cheating son came out, the ministers dared not mention it even if they had opinions in their hearts-the emperor already had three sons, and there was no shortage of heirs.How could the minister dare to persuade the emperor to accept a few more women in a fair and honest way? To put it lightly, it is to seduce the emperor's lust, and to put it seriously, he does not pay attention to the emperor's dragon body.

On the contrary, the Empress Dowager had some opinions. She proposed to set up a concubine concubine in order to win over the nobles of the Eight Banners.Fulin simply moved over the harem model of the later Kangxi, with one empress, two concubines, and other statuses such as nobleman, constant presence, and promise.But now Princesses have all become nobles.At the same time, Fulin strictly ordered that all women who were promoted from court ladies or brought into the palace from the outside, except for special circumstances, the highest status was permanent presence.

Now the nobles had nothing to say.Anyway, if their daughter enters the palace, she won't be on an equal footing with the kind of palace maid who gets promoted.Fulin is quite proud, he himself hates those masters who dote on their concubines and destroy their wives.With his meager knowledge of history, he knew that when his grandson lived, there was a famous mistress named Li Si'er, who abused his wife "like a human pig", and finally got a royal order and lived an unusually chic life.He felt that this kind of thing mainly depends on the attitude of the emperor.Because most of the emperors in the Qing Dynasty had a bad reputation and a high tolerance for such things, so, as the ancestor, he had to solve these problems fundamentally—the family law of the ancestors could not be violated.

It's just that Fulin didn't expect that his "undrafted special situation" would happen soon.

On the New Year of the 20th year of Shunzhi, Myanmar came to envoy.This was the first time Mangbai had an audience after winning the throne, and it was also the first visit to Myanmar after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs.However, after seeing the real person, they were also dumbfounded—among the Burmese envoys, there was a charming young woman who claimed to be a Burmese princess, and she came here especially to greet the Qing emperor.

After Gao Sai learned about it, he really wanted to fly to Burma to pry open Mangbai's head and see what was inside: where did someone send a princess to greet the emperor?The queen mother and the empress should be the ones who greet the princess, okay?Sending beauties is so unpretentious, cut, it is worthy of being an uncivilized barbarian.Gao Sai completely forgot that he had also been scolded as a barbarian not long ago, and despised Myanmar for a while with peace of mind.However, after the contempt passed, it was still necessary to arrange an audience.To his surprise, the Burmese envoys had no objection to the Qing Dynasty's etiquette this time. They agreed to whatever the Lifan Court asked, and they were surprisingly easy to talk to.

As everyone knows, Mangbai was frightened by Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui was in charge of Yunnan and Guizhou, the people there were always tough, and the horses were short but very durable.He took advantage of local characteristics to train soldiers and horses.In addition, he pays great attention to the flexible use of firearms, and is also very familiar with the terrain and climate of Myanmar. When the two sides start fighting, Myanmar is really difficult.

Wu Sangui's disadvantage is that he is in the rear and has a long supply line, while Myanmar is fighting on the ground and has a steady stream of supplies.So, he asked the other two in San Francisco for help.Monk Geng Jimao Kexi only gave a little secretly at first, but later seeing that the court didn't care about it, he also wanted to make a fortune in Myanmar, and he came to support Wu Sangui in an open and honest manner.

As a result, Myanmar has suffered a lot.Jade and emeralds were continuously shipped to the Qing Dynasty, and the price of emeralds was so low that even ordinary people could buy a brand of emeralds to hang on, or buy a silver inlaid emerald ring for the old lady at home. Can be smug.

But Wu Sangui's army quit.Those things produced in Myanmar are worth a little money. War is nothing more than stealing money and women. Sometimes the army and bandits are the same thing.The emperor once ordered that robbing is not allowed, and Wu Sangui led the army is also very strict, disturbing the people will be punished, this time there is finally a chance to rob, and those who don't hurry up to get rich are bastards!

Therefore, Mangbai found out that Wu Sangui's army was getting more and more brave. According to the news from the spies, Wu Sangui's backup seemed to be coming to Burma in a steady stream. If you obediently send some money, you won't be able to bring in this evil star.

Thinking of this, Mangbai gritted his teeth with hatred for the counselor who made the plan, and immediately dragged him out, ready to beat him to death with a stick.The counselor was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, expressing that he would atone for his crime.But this time his idea was to surrender to the Qing court and attack Wu Sangui together.

Mangbai once again followed his advice and sent envoys to Beijing. He felt that a marriage would be more cost-effective, so he carefully selected a beautiful and scheming woman from the clan, named her a princess, and sent them to Beijing together. .

The first time Ren Na saw this girl, she had a strong sense of crisis—this girl looked too good for the emperor.After so many years of husband and wife, Ren Na can be said to have a thorough understanding of Fulin's preferences, especially when it comes to his women.Apart from her in the palace, there are the current nobleman Yin and Concubine Wan who are more favored.Both of them are pretty, especially Yingui, who has slightly upturned eyes and black eyebrows.

And this Burmese girl is extraordinarily beautiful, with a touch of heroism in addition to being charming, she is definitely the emperor's dish.Ren Na could be called the most beautiful girl on the grassland back then, even when she was the most beautiful, she couldn't compare to this girl.Don't talk about her, the Queen Mother also noticed that she wanted to bring this girl into her son's harem, she had a pleasant face.As expected, the Burmese princess was selected carefully. She has a high emotional intelligence, is gentle and polite, and advances and retreats well, which made the Queen Mother like her more and more. She mentioned this matter when Fulin greeted her that night.

Fulin frowned: "What Burmese princess, if they want to give Zhenzhen someone, they have to do it?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Son, you can see for yourself."

"Don't look." Fulin waved his hand crisply, "Myanmar is now being suppressed to death by Wu Sangui and others. If I accept their princess as a concubine, wouldn't I want to stand on the same boat with them?"

The queen mother said: "The Ai family doesn't care about the affairs of the court. However, the Ai family knows that even if this girl is a Burmese princess, she is not an authentic golden branch and jade leaf. You can tell by looking at her hands. A woman of low status, accept it." Just accept it. Marriage, in the eyes of the Ai family, means nothing."

Fulin shook his head: "Myanmar sent a nominal princess here, just wanting me to help him deal with Wu Sangui. Apart from getting a beauty, what else can I gain? If Wu Sangui doesn't hit them, I won't If you don’t give him enough military pay, you’ll come back and beat me. I’m a fool to do this for a beauty.”

Bumbutai patted his son's bare forehead dumbfoundingly: "You, you have been such a thief since you were a child. You are not afraid of the Han people scolding you? The Ai family knows that in a big country, one must treat others generously, and treat subordinate countries even more .Myanmar took the initiative to take refuge this time, but you treat it like this, I am afraid that the public opinion will be unfavorable."

Fulin smiled: "I want to open Enke."

"There is no reason."

"Then make one." Fulin's words came from the heart. Isn't it a very simple thing to want a reason?

Fulin never summoned the Burmese princess at all, and ignored all kinds of recommendations from the envoys to the end. The reason was very good: all the women who came to worship were under the control of the empress. If the empress dowager was interested, she could meet her.The Burmese envoy tried his best but failed to persuade him, so he had no choice but to take a slant.They spent a lot of silver and found out that the person the emperor trusted the most was not the queen mother, let alone the queen, but his uncle, the regent Dorgon.The emperor was obedient to the regent. The regent was not in good health for a while, and the emperor even took him into the palace for recuperation. He is still reluctant to send him out.

The envoy once again spent a lot of money.Dorgon's side was made like an iron bucket, and his personal eunuch was not so easy to buy.After a lot of effort, a lot of silver bills were presented, and the man turned around and handed these silver bills to Dorgon.

Dorgon smiled indifferently: "Since they give it to you, you can keep it and make a small fortune. Hang them for a few days before we talk about it."

Therefore, after the personal eunuch made a windfall, Dorgon was finally willing to condescend to meet the Burmese envoy.Naturally, he couldn't find a place in the palace, so he went back to the Prince Regent's Mansion specially. Fulin was curious, so he went out of the palace with him, and hid himself behind the screen.

The Regent's Mansion can be said to be beautifully maintained, second only to the Imperial Palace, and it is also a benchmark in the capital. All other Prince Regent's Mansions must be lower than the Regent's Mansion.Once the Burmese envoys entered, they could not even speak: when they first entered the palace to meet the emperor, they were too nervous to look up, and only remembered the floor tiles of the palace.And the luxury of the Prince Regent's Mansion is beyond their imagination. In their eyes, everything is so beautiful that it cannot be described in words.

Dorgon was wearing a mink coat with no variegated colors, sat upright, leaned on the chair, raised his hand lazily, motioned them not to be polite, and asked bluntly: "Do you want to see me again and again?" My lord, what's the matter?"

The envoy was shocked by his casual attitude, and then remembered his purpose, and began to sell his beautiful and unparalleled princess vigorously.Dorgon just listened, and finally came to an end before he spoke slowly: "Originally, this king is getting older, and he doesn't care much about women's sex. But you are so sincere. The king can't refute your face, so let your princess be brought into the palace and be a concubine."

not like this!The envoy was about to cry, the princess carefully selected by his family was for the emperor, not for the regent!The young emperor is obviously much better than the gray-haired regent, and only following the emperor will he have a future!

They carefully raised their objections, Dorgon said with a straight face: "Why? Since it is not a gift to the king, why bother to chatter with the king?"

Fulin almost laughed out loud behind the screen. Looking at the embarrassment on the envoy's face, he felt very relieved. At the same time, he began to think: Should we support Wu Sangui and others to expand outward?Things like emeralds can be very profitable if they are carved and shipped overseas.He seemed to see a lot of snow-white silver waving to him, and he quickly made calculations in his heart.
