CHAPTER XXXVII

On the fifth day of the first month of the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, in the Qianqing Palace, the university scholars Ma Leji, Wang Xi, and the first class public suppressed Bilong. The second-class prince Aobai, the first-class uncle, and the first-class son Suke Saha were all secretly summoned by the emperor and the queen mother to the side hall next to the sleeping hall where Emperor Shunzhi was recuperating.

The Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang saw the six people kneeling on the ground, and invited these six people with a kind face, and now she and the emperor are in conflict over the matter of the heir, saying something unpleasant, now the emperor is sick, the Qing Dynasty is supported by the banner master of the Eight Banners, and she can't afford to offend these people now.

Seeing that the six people below were all seated, Xiaozhuang did not say those polite words at this juncture, and asked these people to express their stance straight to the point. "The mourning family is not inviting you here today for the sake of the side, now that the emperor is sick like this, even those imperial doctors dare not give the mourning family a guarantee. In any case, the Qing Dynasty always has to be followed by talents. After saying this meaningful sentence, Xiaozhuang looked at the expressions of everyone below, and unsurprisingly saw that everyone was worried and anxious for the emperor and the Qing Dynasty.

Xiaozhuang doesn't care, these old foxes are not forced, if it is implicit, there is no need to guess that these old foxes will fool this matter. "All Aiqing are the ministers of our Qing Dynasty, and now all the princes of the emperor are still young, what do you think of this heir?"

In the lower seat, Sonny and Curb Pilon are not that straightforward character, and Suke Saha thinks that he is thinking of opportunism, and it is impossible to be this up-and-coming bird, I am afraid that only Ao Bai's violent temper dares to fight with the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang at this time.

I saw Ao Bai come forward, clasp his fists and salute, "Back to the queen mother, the meaning of the master is the meaning of the slave, since the master has chosen the second elder brother as the heir, the slave must do his best to assist the second elder brother." The second elder brother is the emperor's existing eldest son, not to mention that the second elder brother has always been the strongest among the emperor's elder brothers, and the second elder brother inherits the orthodoxy, which is very suitable in the eyes of the minions. After speaking, Ao Bai bowed to Xiaozhuang and retreated.

Xiaozhuang was trembling in her heart by Aobai's words, she just didn't want the son of Dong E's family to inherit the unification so she came to persuade Fulin, and now Aobai is still holding Fuquan, this is not much worse than her original plan, how can she not be angry!

However, Xiaozhuang calmed down, after all, there were still a few people who did not express their position, if the others supported her decision, then she might not have the opportunity to push Xuan Ye to that position at the meeting of the king of parliament.

Sonny sat down, sensing Xiaozhuang's sweeping gaze, and sighed unconsciously. He is the best person at protecting himself, how many winds and waves he has broken through, but he didn't expect that in the end he would capsize the boat in this gutter! Now he has formed a bond with the people of Dong E's family because of the sudden improvement of his health, not to mention anything else, for the sake of the people of Hesheri Mansion, he can't let the second son of the emperor ascend to the big treasure. If the second elder brother really ascended the throne, then as the Dong E clan of the emperor's mother's family, he really couldn't afford to provoke him. Alas! Sony sighed secretly, still contrary to his previous good habit of fishing in troubled waters, and took the initiative to stand up and greet Aobai.

Sony also stepped forward, saluted, and made his point clear. "Nowadays, all the elder brothers can't be alone, however, the mother family of the third elder brother is not obvious, but the second elder brother's Enie is from the Manchu Qing clan, not to mention that the people of the Dong E clan in the court are quite active now. The slave still thinks that the establishment of a successor is a big deal, and the emperor and the queen mother still need to think twice. ”

Sony's other skills are not to mention, this mouth kung fu is first-class. Now, Sony has deliberately weakened the power of the mother's family of the third son of the emperor, Xuanye, and ignored the fact that the biological mother of the second son Fuquan of the emperor was speechless in the Dong E clan.

No, after Sony said so, this matter of establishing a successor will no longer be inclined to the second son of the emperor.

Scop sat in his chair, his head bowed and did not speak, but his heart was thinking about what Garruth had said to him! After hearing what Sony said just now, Suppilon's originally wavering heart was completely determined, this Sony is really an old fox, and he really doesn't care about anything for his own interests. Originally, he thought that Sony was fair and could be called a model for courtiers, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that! But now that the third elder brother has the support of Sony, it is very likely that he will really ascend to the throne.

With a meaningful sigh, Curb Pilon looked at Sukh Saha, who was still shrunk aside as a quail, and smiled disdainfully, this Sukh Saha has always been a grass on the wall, and it fell on both sides, but this time he was overdressing!

Ji Bilong stepped forward and saluted, and said loudly to Xiaozhuang in front of him and Emperor Shunzhi after His Royal Highness, "Back to the Queen Mother, in the early years, the slave Fujin did not work hard because of the little girl's illness, and even the church of foreigners, Fujin also sent people to ask. A few days ago, the slave's daughter overheard the conversation between the slave and Fu Jin, and told the slave a very interesting thing. ”

Xiaozhuang knew that Curb Pilon would not say anything irrelevant at this time, and now seeing that Curb Pilon was so mysterious, he couldn't help but be interested. "Oh! Let's hear it. ”

He shook his horseshoe sleeves, slammed his head deep into the marble floor, and said, "The servant has heard from her daughter that it is a lesson summed up in the foreign church that anyone who has contracted smallpox will not be infected with smallpox again in the future. ”

The news of Curb Bilong was like a huge thunder, which blew up everyone present, and even Emperor Shunzhi, who had always insisted that the queen of the palace had always insisted on making Fuquan the crown prince, was shaken after hearing the news.

Smallpox is basically a terminal illness at this time, and having it is equivalent to stepping into the palace of Hades with one foot, just look at Emperor Shunzhi himself. He originally wanted to clean up those Mongolian concubines to avenge his concubine and son, but who would have thought that before the plan began, he was left to survive by smallpox. Originally, he hated his own emperor, who let her harm his beloved concubine, he was determined to find a big backer for his beloved concubine's maiden family to rely on, but now, Curb Pilon's words made him shake.

Now, the domestic situation is not stable, and the country that the ancestors have fought hard must not be buried in his hands, and when the time comes, he will really have no face to see his ancestors. He knew that the pedantic Han people in the south were planning to overthrow their rule and support the former dynasty, and if this country was handed over to Fuquan, what the consequences would be, he was really not sure.

Not to mention, how Emperor Shunzhi was entangled in the inner hall, in the outer hall, Xiaozhuang was smiling when he heard Kubilong's words, and even with Garu Jue before he met Xiaozhuang, he left a good impression on Xiaozhuang.

Xiaozhuang originally wanted to use the shareholder wind sent by Curb Pilon to set the identity of Xuan Ye, but who knew that Emperor Shunzhi was going to rest, and let Curb Pilon and them go down first.

Xiaozhuang's face is green, what a good opportunity this is, how can I let it go!!

But in order to maintain the majesty of Emperor Shunzhi, Xiaozhuang swallowed this breath stiffly, waved his hand, and asked Su Ma to send them out of the Qianqing Palace.

Out of the Qianqing Palace, everyone naturally went back to their respective homes. This time, Curb Pilon wanted to invite Ao Bai to the house to discuss the plan, but Ao Bai refused, presumably Ao Bai was also angry at this time to curb Pilon to demolish his platform in public!

And after they left, what kind of game Emperor Shunzhi and Xiaozhuang had, they didn't know.

On the sixth day of the first month of the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, Emperor Shunzhi knew that he was seriously ill and would die soon, so he hurriedly summoned his cronies, Wang Xi, the servant of the Ministry of Rites and the head of the Hanlin Academy, to enter the Palace of Raising the Heart and ordered him to draft an edict. When Wang Xi saw this scene, he was prostrate and wept, unable to write. Emperor Shunzhi ordered him to suppress his grief and draft it before his sickbed. After Wang Xi finished writing a submission, he was afraid that Emperor Shunzhi would be too tired, so he wrote it under the Qianqing Gate. The edict ordered the third son Xuanye to be the emperor, and the four ministers assisted the new emperor.

Among them, Sony is still in the first place, and Ao Bai is at the bottom.

A qiē is like history, but what difference does it make under the surface of similarity?

The year after the death of Emperor Shunzhi was called the first year of Kangxi.

However, the emperor was young and had four ministers in charge. Emperor Yongli died, Zheng Chenggong died of illness, Zheng Jing seized the throne, the examination was completed, the Jingcha plan was stopped, the Ryukyu Kingdom was enclosed, the Qing Zheng Yihe, the Mongolian and other ethnic groups resisted the invading army of Tsarist Russia, restored the Eight Banners Township Trial, captured Kinmen and Xiamen, divided Huguang, the territory of the Governor of Biyuan, Zheng Jing retreated to Taiwan, and the Zheng officers and soldiers abandoned the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty......

With the growth of Emperor Kangxi's age, the situation in the Qing Dynasty is getting better and better, but at the same time, the original intention of the four ministers to work together to assist the government is getting weaker and weaker, the selfishness of the four ministers is getting heavier and heavier, and the friction between the four ministers is gradually increasing.

And Xiaozhuang, who has been promoted to the empress dowager, is becoming more and more anxious as time passes. The power of the four auxiliary ministers is growing too fast, and the emperor can't be on his own now, if he waits for the emperor to grow, then I'm afraid they will all be controlled by others.

At this time, the fourth year of Kangxi came, and this year, Emperor Kangxi was thirteen years old.
