Chapter 41: The Birth of the Son (2)
The woman of Rui Wangye gave birth to the first boy, which was a big deal, and Yan Fujin had nothing to do, of course, the first son born to Fang Fujin was the eldest son. The eldest son has the greatest chance of being crowned the prince, and the prince is not in vain, with 6,000 taels of silver and 6,000 taels of rice, which is more than the fortune of a county king.
The next morning, the prince went into the palace to tell the emperor and the queen mother that he had gone and reported good news to them. The prince is happy to have a noble son, and it is also a happy event for the royal family. Emperor Shunzhi immediately drafted and passed the decree: canonize the eldest son of Prince Rui as the prince's son, give the name "Hong Xuan", immediately issue the canonization gold book, distribute the annual stipend and rice of Prince Rui, and reward a large number of supplements, brocades, and antique calligraphy and paintings to the side Fujin Chen Ruiyun. It is a credit to the royal family to import people.
Xuan'er was born as a son, which is very out of line. The princes of other mansions have many wives and concubines, and they have many sons, and the matter of canonizing the prince is very tricky, which is almost the same as the crown prince. Therefore, many princes of the royal palace have not been able to be canonized for a long time, because they have to choose and choose among the many sons, and it will take many years to select a person who is excellent in all aspects. The emperor felt that it was unlikely that Sister Jinxiu would have another child, so he simply sealed the eldest son of Fang Fujin. Since in the future, the sons of the second emperor's brother's mansion can only be chosen among the sons of Fang Fu Jinsheng, who to choose is different? Hong Xuan is the eldest son, and this is the child. In fact, the emperor wanted to thank the second emperor brother again for his life-saving grace by canonizing the prince: if the prince is established early, he can receive the annual salary early, and it is the emperor's original intention to let the royal brother increase some inputs. Even if the Chen family can give birth to and raise children, they can only set up one son. Why not seal it now?
In this regard, the queen mother had a lot of opinions and reminded the emperor: "Such a young child was born with the title of prince, can the princes of other mansions be convinced?" Don't talk about others, let's just say Prince An, how many years have he been charging on the battlefield, and the first step to canonize is just a Baylor, and then the king of the county, step by step. is such a small milk baby, and he is the son of the world before he has made an inch, I don't know what the emperor thinks. Even if Lord Rui has the credit of saving the driver twice, don't do too much. ”
The emperor said: "Huang Eniang, did I make an inch of merit when I inherited the throne? The second emperor brother rescued the driver twice, the first time in order to save his father, he fell into the siege of hundreds of enemy troops, tried his best to delay time, kept his father away from danger, and he was cut into a blur of flesh and blood by the enemy, and died of blood. If it weren't for Master Gan Lin who used the water of Gan Lin to revive the imperial brother, he would have been an ancient man for many years. The second time, in order to protect me from being shot by the assassin, I used my body to block the assassin's poisonous arrows, if it wasn't for Sister Jinxiu's instant decision to suck out the poisonous blood, the life of the second emperor brother would have been gone. My father's father and my country were all exchanged for the emperor's life, is it too much for his son to establish a son earlier? If it was me who was hit by the arrow, would I still be alive at my age? Shouldn't I be the emperor and have the honor of the queen mother today? The second emperor brother has sacrificed his life twice for our two generations of monarchs, and it is too much to canonize his son? And in his early years, his father wanted to appoint his imperial brother as the prince, but was rejected by the imperial brother and his master, otherwise wouldn't this country be his? He let this country and this dragon chair out, and let our mother and son stand tall and give orders, don't you think this is the royal brother's grace to us? Haven't you been talking about the grace of water in return? Give a mansion and seal a prince to feel distressed? That's good, I, the emperor, didn't want to do it in the first place, so I still want to return the throne to the imperial brother! Come on, draft the edict of abdication!"
This frightened the Queen Mother. It's not the first time the emperor has said such things, and such things are not said casually! If the emperor hands over the throne, then he will be penniless! Not only is it no longer the queen mother, who is high up and giving orders, it is likely to take the tragic path of Dolgon's mother Abahai to be buried and strangled to the burial of the emperor! The emperor is paranoid and reckless, and once he abdicates, the mother and son will become meat on the chopping block and be slaughtered. No matter who becomes the emperor, his mother and son are not good. But she couldn't explain this, so she had to calm down and say with a smile:
"Your Majesty, E-Niang is just talking casually, not stopping you from doing anything. Your second emperor brother is indeed a hard worker, anyway, sooner or later, you have to establish a son, and it's better to be early. ”
Emperor Shunzhi knew that his mother's words were insincere, so he brushed his sleeves away.
To say that the Queen Mother is not a simple person, she is calm and decisive in dealing with things, and she is a good helper of Huang Taiji in the era of Huang Taiji. In the seventh year of Chongde, the Qing army conquered Songshan and captured Hong Chengchou, the governor of Ming Jiliao. At the beginning, Hong Chengchou went on a hunger strike in order to show his loyalty to the Ming family. At that time, the Queen Mother recommended herself to lure Hong Chengchou. Later, Shunzhi ascended the throne, and in order to eliminate Dolgon's threat to the throne, the empress dowager resolutely married Dolgon in accordance with the Manchu custom of "a brother dies and his wife and his sister-in-law". Although the history books try their best to cover up this matter, and there are different accounts of Xiaozhuang's marriage, there are still formal records of Xiaozhuang's marriage in the literature. Shunzhi also once called Dolgon "the regent of his father", which shows that the queen mother's marriage is not groundless. It was because of the role of the Empress Dowager that Shunzhi's throne was not replaced by Dolgon. Later, in order to make the Qing Dynasty during the founding period can be supported by the upper echelons of the Han nationality, the empress dowager broke through the practice of intermarriage between the Manchus and Hans, raised Kong Sizhen, the daughter of the Han general Kong Youde, in the palace, and married the fourteenth daughter of Huang Taiji and Princess Shuo Jianning to Wu Yingxiong, the son of Wu Sangui, to win over the generals of the Han army. In general, this "Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang" is still a relatively positive image in history. In the history of the Qing Dynasty, she was a strong woman who assisted three generations of monarchs. But she didn't handle the relationship with her son Emperor Shunzhi well, and was too spoiled and obedient to him, which made Emperor Shunzhi very rigid and self-serving, and his actions were stubborn and extreme.
When assisting Emperor Kangxi, the empress dowager completely corrected her previous passive way, did not interfere with Kangxi in everything, but helped him on horseback and gave him a ride. After that, let him go on his own.
Due to the limitations of history and environment, the famous Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang did not get rid of the trap of maintaining the "family world", and she considered the dragon chair to protect her son in handling many things, and became suspicious. For her husband and son's benefactor, Lord Rui is completely wary and wants to get rid of it at any time. I don't believe that Prince Rui is willing to give up the throne at all, and I always feel that he is Taoguang and waiting for the opportunity. Therefore, whenever the Emperor Shunzhi gave the prince any favor or reward, she had to stop it, which made the Emperor Shunzhi very dissatisfied. However, her relationship with Tong's Jinxiu is still good, although it is a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship according to generation, but the age of the two is basically the same age, they are both nobles, and they can talk a lot. The Queen Mother's most admired thing about Fujin is that she is usually gentle and virtuous, and she is not afraid of life and death at critical moments.
The topic returned to the Rui Wangfu, and the prince brought the emperor's holy decree and reward back to the mansion, and the mansion immediately rejoiced. The newborn child is crowned the son, this is also too blessed, right? Will the boy of good fortune in front of the bodhisattva be blessed?
The people in the mansion said that Master Yun's stomach was too competitive, and he gave birth to a son to the prince less than a year after entering the mansion, not only was the son named the prince, but also increased such a large income. You must know that a Qipinzhi county only has forty-five taels of silver for a year, and the son of the world is six thousand taels! There are also 6,000 pieces of rice, one rice is 25 catties, and 6,000 catties is 150,000 catties! How many people can be fed? No wonder it was a good money boy who brought such a big fortune to his father as soon as he was born! When the prince took back the golden book of Xuan Shizi's canonization and the emperor's name post, the silver ticket converted by the prince and Lu rice, the thousand taels of silver rewarded by the queen mother, supplements, silk, jewelry, etc., the house was full of jubilation, and the red lights at the gate of the general's mansion were hung high, and firecrackers rang out! Not only did he hold a big feast, but he also gave a big red envelope to all the guards, eunuchs, maids, grandmothers, maids, craftsmen, etc. in the house.
The son of the prince of Rui was crowned the prince of the world, which is a happy event in his house and a happy event for the royal family, not only to issue the golden book of the prince, but also to record in the household department, so as to withdraw money and grain in the future.
The prince is very worried about Yun'er, giving birth to a child is like playing with his life, he has never been afraid of death on the battlefield, but Yun'er gave birth to a child but scared him.
The real excitement is also the washing of the three and the full moon wine, which took a month to stop. In the past, it was the prince Fujin who congratulated the family, and everyone will definitely come to Xuan'er's birth.
After the celebration, the prince went to Yun'er's room to see her, Yun'er had already sat up against the quilt, although there was still no blood on her face, her spirit was much better, she was eating, and Fujin personally peeled eggs for her. The girls and grandmothers surrounded the ground in front of and behind them. The prince suddenly felt very uncomfortable for Fujin in his heart: she must be very uncomfortable now, she has been married for 18 years, she has been looking forward to the child for 18 years, and there is no result for seeking medical advice, and Yun'er gave birth to a fat boy as soon as she came.
The marriage with Yun'er is the master's order, the prince has believed in Buddhism since he was a child, and worships the Buddha statue devoutly, but the current master is a real Bodhisattva, can he be a little disobedient? There must be a truth in what Master said. But how to persuade Xiu'er's unspeakable heart? Eighteen years of suffering couples, don't cause any estrangement because of this incident.
The prince and Fujin said that the emperor gave their son the canonization and name, and the two sisters were very happy, so the newborn baby had the nickname "Xuan'er". Yun'er is confined, of course, she doesn't need to be accompanied by the prince. After the new nurse Jiang Mama gave Xuan'er milk, Yun'er drank the medicine to return the milk, as well as the care of Yu'er Shui'er and Mama Lin, and the rest was that Yun'er would take care of her body. Yun'er, who gave birth to a son, has almost become a national treasure giant panda, and is cared for like a moon by the stars.
The newborn Xuan'er was canonized as the prince, which also shows the emperor's honor for Prince Rui, and there is an endless stream of people who come to congratulate and give gifts.
The prince returned to Fu Jin's room with confidence, he observed Fu Jin's expression and attitude, but he couldn't see that he was uncomfortable. Then he said, "Xiu'er, you see how much of a sin it takes to give birth to a child, but fortunately you don't have to suffer this sin." ”
"The concubine wants to suffer this sin, but her stomach is not angry."
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. You have really worried a lot these days, Yun'er should be content, whose housewife is so large. ”
"You don't have to comfort the concubine, the concubine knows what the prince is thinking, and she is afraid that Xiu'er will not be comfortable. It's impossible to say that Xiu'er doesn't feel it, but taking a step back and thinking about it, you have a son, which is the biggest joy. Yun'er, this girl is knowledgeable and courteous, Xiu'er is sincere to her, she won't not know, when she is old, Xiu'er can't move, and her son won't care about me, who is a mother-in-law. Although Fu Jin had a smile on his face, tears flowed down his face disobediently.
"Xiu'er, don't do this! Don't you still have a second brother? The second brother won't treat you wrong. Don't you know what kind of feelings we have between us? ”
"Second brother, with your words, Xiu'er will be relieved."
The prince hugged Fu Jin tightly in his arms, "These days, I have patronized Yun'er's affairs and snubbed you." ”
"What do you say? Xiu'er is such a big person, and she is still competing with Yun'er? Ming'er has to tell Master Chen and his family. People's daughters are about to give birth, and they have to worry about it, whether they will give birth or not? Boys and girls? Is it peaceful? Don't patronize your own happiness and forget your father-in-law and mother-in-law. ”
"Thanks to your reminder, let's just send a car to pick it up tomorrow. Just tell them that it's still a concern, so it's better to come and see it, so you can rest assured. ”
"It's okay, I'll pick it up early tomorrow morning!"
When Chen Dabin and his wife heard that their daughter had given birth to a boy safely, they were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut, so they hurriedly came with gifts and in the car of the general's mansion. Although Chen Dabin is a father, after all, there is a difference between men and women, and he himself attaches great importance to etiquette, comforted his daughter a few words, looked at his grandson, and came out to talk to the prince in the front hall. The prince didn't dare to say how badly Yun'er hurt, lest her parents worry about it. Mrs. Chen instructed her daughter on how to take care of her body, and looked around. The last time I came to see my daughter in a hurry, I didn't pay attention to what Yun'er's bedroom was and how it was furnished. Now she sees the big house where her daughter lives, the furnishings in the house, she is very comforted, and she sees the maid and the woman holding the moon around her daughter, and looks at her daughter's "private room" when no one is around, all the cages and cabinets are full, and the clothes of various colors and materials and the large boxes and small boxes of jewelry cannot be fitted, these are all added later, not counting the dowry! Mrs. Chen was happy and proud in her heart, women's vanity is always greater than that of men, she thought: "My daughter is too competitive, and her future wealth and glory will be considered stable." ”
The next thing is the "washing three", "full moon" and other ceremonies, can the prince's washing three and full moon not be lively? It's been a month of fuss, and the gifts received by the house are the same as the mountains, which is a later story. The prince usually doesn't accept gifts, but if you don't accept this kind of gift, it really offends people, people don't ask you to borrow it, it's kind congratulations, can you slap people in the face? However, before that, he had congratulated others many times.
