Shunzhi saw the appearance of everyone, and understood that these ministers did not know the specific situation now. Immediately said to Wu Liangfu: "You quickly go and adjust all Yungui's concerts to see how long the latest one is." Sonny said: "There is also the Guangxi Concerto, Lian Guoan is the Governor of Guangxi, and the Concert may be in the Guangxi Concert." ”

Wu Liangfu went to mobilize the recital, and after a short period of thought, several ministers bowed and said: "Your Majesty, maybe the matter is not too bad, about the matter of Sichuan, you can let Jingzhou Niu Lu Zhen Echu, who rushed to Jiangning, return to Jingzhou, where he has 300 Yellow Flags and Manchuria Eight Banners, as well as 3,000 officers and soldiers under the command of General Da Su of Annam, Gushan Ezhen Suohong, and Lai Da, the commander of the Protector Army, originally to conquer Zheng Rebellious. Now that Zheng Wei has retreated, Keliu Dasu led 1,000 officers and soldiers to continue to garrison Fujian to defend Zheng Wei, and the others led the rest of the army into the north of Huguang to prepare to resist the rebels in Sichuan. Wait until my Yunnan-Guizhou army returns to the division, and then pacify Sichuan in one fell swoop. ”

Shunzhi said: "Hmph, do you want to let those traitors be at ease?" I think we have to mobilize a large army to quell the rebellion. When Bahana and the others heard this, they immediately said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, now the treasury of the Qing Dynasty is empty, and the war in the southwest and the southeast has already made the treasury unable to make ends meet, if Sichuan is at war, there is really no silver in the treasury." ”

When Shunzhi heard that there was no money, he was immediately a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he said: "Since you are all opposed, I think I will directly let Zhao Tingchen in Guizhou send troops, and let Guizhou Governor Li Benshen and General Daniel Zhang return to Zunyi, at least to threaten Chongqing." Then let Huguang's Kachuha and Marsai lead the Yidu garrison, waiting for an opportunity to capture Kuidong and open up the waterway to Chongqing. ”

Sonny immediately said: "It is most appropriate for the emperor to arrange it like this." Ao Bai and others also immediately chimed in. Shunzhi saw that everyone finally stopped objecting this time, and said happily: "As long as our Yungui army returns, we will definitely kill a piece of armor in Sichuan." At the beginning, Prince Su was able to quickly pacify Sichuan, because he was able to kill people. In Sichuan, these untouchables will naturally settle down. ”

At this time, Wu Liangfu went to collect the Yungui recital and the Guangxi recital, and said to Shunzhi: "Back to the emperor, the most recent Yungui recital was at the beginning of the month, and the recital that Hong Chengchou begged for support in the last month was approved to be sent back on the first day of this month." There is also an excerpt from Zhao Tingchen, the governor of Guizhou, who asked for the abolition of the Guizhou garrison, which came on the first day of the new year. ”

When Shunzhi heard this, he immediately put his mind at ease and said: "It seems that I thought too much, maybe Yungui is okay at all." Other Sony and others also said: "Yes, it must be the emperor who is tired, and the emperor must take care of the Holy Body." Shunzhi said happily: "It just so happens that Li Benshen and Daniel Zhang are going to be transferred back to Sichuan, and it is time for Zhao Tingchen's fold." Bahana said: "This is the emperor's great blessing, he can easily dispose of two major things, and he does not use a tael of silver from the treasury, since the matter has been resolved, the servants will retire first." After saying that, Sony and the others took their leave.

Shunzhi solved two things with a raise of his hand, and he was very happy in his heart. Seeing that there was nothing to do, he went back to the harem, and now Concubine Dong E is still sick, so she happened to have nothing to do. Shunzhi came to the Chengqian Palace where Concubine Dong E lived, and when he saw Concubine Dong E's weak appearance and struggled to get up and salute, he walked over quickly, held down Concubine Dong E and said, "You haven't taken care of your body yet, so you don't need to be polite." ”

Concubine Dong E also lay back and said, "Why did the emperor come to the concubine so early today, and have all the affairs in the court been dealt with?" Shunzhi solved two things at once just now, and he was happy at this time, and said: "Of course, now that I have dealt with the affairs of the court, I am already more and more handy." ”

Concubine Dong E saw that Shunzhi was happy, and immediately said: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, of course, nothing can be difficult for the emperor, I don't know what major matters the emperor has dealt with today?" It also makes the concubines happy for the emperor. ”

Shunzhi saw that Concubine Dong E was interested, and he happened to relieve Concubine Dong E's boredom, so he said: "The first thing is that Zhao Tingchen, the governor of Guizhou, said that Guizhou has been pacified, and now there is no need for too many garrisons, and he wants to cut off the redundant garrisons." ”

Concubine Dong E said: "How did the emperor deal with it, I heard that the removal of the garrison requires a lot of silver, the Qing Dynasty has been fighting in the past few years, and the emperor is often distressed by the emptiness of the imperial treasury. Can the treasury now have so much money to house the demobilized garrison? ”

As soon as Shunzhi thought of this, he was very happy, took Concubine Dong E's hand and said, "I didn't spend a tael of silver." Concubine Dong E said curiously: "What good method did the emperor use, and he didn't use a tael of silver?" ”

Shunzhi said proudly: "Just now, Kachuha and Marsai Shangsong, who went to hunt down Zhang Huangyan, said that the Sichuan local rebellion, Li Guoying and the local officials in Sichuan were killed in battle, let the imperial court send troops to suppress it, I will let Li Benshen and Daniel Zhang from Guizhou go to Sichuan by the way, so that the imperial court will not need a silver or two." Shunzhi said strangely in his heart: "Kachuha and Marsai are chasing Zhang Huangyan in Jiangning, and they haven't seen their recitals, why did they go to Sichuan?" Later, I have to send someone to ask, did Zhang Huangyan catch it? ”

When Concubine Dong heard that Shunzhi had transferred Guizhou's troops to Sichuan, she said: "The emperor is confused, what is the difference between these soldiers in Guizhou and Sichuan?" It's not the same to use the food and salary of the imperial court to feed. ”

Shunzhi couldn't take care of the worries in his heart, and said: "Aifei, this is not a military affair, my soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, as long as they are not garrisoned soldiers of the Eight Banners, other soldiers don't need to spend money." At most, the imperial court is to prepare armor and weapons, and as for the food and salary, they are all requisitioned on the spot, as long as there are those Han people, who are clothed in Aha, we will never lack food and salary. ”

Concubine Dong E said suddenly: "The emperor's arrangement must be excellent, the emperor is really the son of heaven, and the saint is incomparable." Concubine Dong suddenly asked again: "Are all the local officials in Sichuan dead?" Why don't you see the local newspaper in Sichuan? ”

Shunzhi also said strangely: "I'm also curious, why did such a big thing happen in Sichuan, and the imperial court didn't receive a piece of music?" Just when Shunzhi was wondering, the chief manager Wu Liangfu came in again and said: "Your Majesty, just now the Ministry of War transferred a letter of 600 miles from Liang Jiaqi, the chief soldier of the Sichuan Suppression and Pacification Bureau. ”

Shunzhi said: "Why is it the chapter of the Suppression Department, the governor's yamen, and the local prefect have no chapter?" Quickly take it and let me see, what's going on, his Sichuan recital is slower than Kachuha's recital. "Actually, you really can't blame Liang Jiaqi, although his performance is also urgent, but there are too many people changing hands in the yamen at the post stations everywhere. On the contrary, Kachuha's recital was directly given to Shunzhi, and he was a Manchurian, of course, twice as fast as Liang Jiaqi's.

Shunzhi opened the song and took a look, and it said in detail that Li Guoying led the army to quell the rebellion, but the whole army was annihilated. Most of the troops transferred from various places were also lost, and now the Fuming army has the possibility of attacking Chongqing. But now Chongqing's troops are thin, less than 10,000, said that he asked the imperial court to send troops to rescue as soon as possible, and at the same time he sent a letter to Yungui's Doni asking for help.

Obviously, when Liang Jiaqi sent this note, Chongqing had not lost it. But now Kachuha's recitals have already said that Chongqing has been lost. Shunzhi now sees that this note is useless, and the only use is that Liang Jiaqi has made the situation of the Restoration Army clear.

When Liang Jiaqi issued this note, he explained that the Restoration Army was the rebel army that attacked Jianmen Pass and Baoning Mansion before. When Shunzhi saw it, he threw Liang Jiaqi's song on the ground and said, "Why don't you report it early, what did you do earlier?" Now that the whole of Sichuan is erosive, what's the use of you giving me this excerpt. Now that Sichuan is erosive, Chongqing has also been lost, and it is too late to say anything. ”

Concubine Dong E on the side saw that Shunzhi was angry, and she immediately didn't dare to persuade her. Now I heard Shunzhi say that Sichuan was all eroded and Chongqing was lost, so I remembered my younger brother Feiyangu, who was sent to Sichuan by Shunzhi some time ago. Suddenly panicked, and said: "Your Majesty, if Chongqing is lost, we can take it back." Now in addition to this news, is there any news from other people, I remember that the emperor sent Fu Dali, a bachelor and a guard, to Sichuan to deliver the decree, I don't know if there is any news. The concubine's younger brother, Feiyangu, is now my only relative. ”

Shunzhi remembered that he had sent someone to Sichuan to urge Li Guoying to quell the rebellion, and when he heard Concubine Dong E say that his younger brother had also gone, he was shocked. Concubine Dong E's body has been sick since the death of her beloved son, and now if her only brother dies, it is difficult to say whether Concubine Dong E can survive it.

Immediately Shunzhi said: "Concubine Ai doesn't have to be anxious, I will send troops to Sichuan, I believe that Feiyangu will be fine, but now there is no news in Sichuan, and we don't know their situation yet." ”

At this time, Concubine Dong E had no choice, and now seeing that Shunzhi was going to send troops to Sichuan, this was already a favor to herself. In addition, since he entered the palace and was favored, he has been controversial. This year, Shunzhi also wants to abolish the queen Borzigit Alatan Qiqige, who has always been in a bad relationship with Shunzhi, and set up Concubine Dong E as the queen. In the end, this idea was dissuaded by the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, who later became the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

Although Shunzhi gave up the idea, it also caused a lot of controversy for Concubine Dong E. At present, Concubine Dong E did not dare to ask too much, for fear that some people would say that she was interfering in the harem.

Concubine Dong E didn't say it, Shunzhi decided more and more to find Feiyangu. Immediately let people pass the decree: "Let the garrison general of Xi'an, Fu Kachan, lead the garrison of Manchuria to the Eight Banners, together with Chen Mingshun, the governor of Shaanxi, Qin Qi, the chief soldier of Hanzhong, and Qin Changfan, the deputy general, lead an army of 30,000 to attack Sichuan from Hanzhong." Echu, who had already been arranged to enter Huguang, Gushan Ezhen Suohong, and Lai Da, the commander of the escort army, transferred 30,000 troops from Jiangnan to Huguang and immediately entered Huguang to attack Sichuan from Kuidong. Li Benshen and Daniel Zhang of Guizhou attacked Chongqing from Zunyi. The three-way army converged to suppress the Sichuan rebels, and the order was immediately executed on the day it arrived. ”

Bahana, Sonny and the others, I don't know why Shunji suddenly changed his mind, and after hearing the will, he was in a hurry. I want to persuade Shunzhi to take back his order, but now it is the Qing Dynasty, not the previous Ming Dynasty, and the minister still has the right to return the holy decree. The current courtiers, the better ones are the emperor's slaves, and the bad ones don't even have the qualifications of slaves.

When Bahana and the others saw the holy decree, they were now at a loss, and they didn't know whether they should go out with this holy decree or not. In the end, he bowed and said: "Otherwise, we will go to the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, now only her old man can persuade the emperor." Sonny said: "It's easy for you to say, as soon as we go to see the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, the emperor won't know right away, can we still have a good life?" ”

Ao Bai said: "What should I do then?" As soon as this decree is made, the treasury of the Great Qing Kingdom will be finished, and I don't know what Sichuan looks like now. Besides, Sichuan is not populated now, and even if it is entered, I estimate that the army will not have food and salary, and the imperial court will have to allocate food and salary support. ”

Bahana said: "It's really not good, let's go and ask the emperor to see the emperor again, we can't let the emperor do something wrong, when the incident happens, it's not that we have to carry this matter, just like the matter in the south." "Bahana said that the matter in the south is the matter of Jiangning's defense, obviously he won the battle, but now he is still given a reason by Shunzhi, almost all of them are confiscated, and all his family members are punished as slaves.

Although Bahana didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that when they thought of it, Sonny and the others suddenly felt a chill down their spines. Sonny said: "Whether it's persuasion or whatever, we have to go to see the emperor." After several people discussed, they heard that they handed a sign to the palace asking to see them.

After a while, a message was spread in the palace announcing that several people were coming. When Bahana and the others came to the Qianqing Palace, Shunzhi was already here, and as soon as they saw Shunzhi, he said: "You are here to send troops to Sichuan?" ”

As soon as Bahana and the others heard Shunzhi take the initiative to say it, several people immediately knelt down, and Sonny said: "The emperor Shengming, the servants and others are here for this matter, and now sending troops to attack Sichuan is a great difficulty for the treasury and the mobilization of troops from the Qing Dynasty, please think twice." ”

Shunzhi looked at Aobai, Bahana and Sukhshaha, and said to Kubilong: "The four of you also have this idea? The four of them immediately lowered their heads directly to the ground and said, "The minions also ask the emperor to think twice." ”

Shunzhi suddenly said with a blushing face: "Do you know that Fei Yanggu, the younger brother of my beloved concubine, is now in Sichuan. Now Concubine Ai's body can't stand the toss, and the concubine has been sick all the time since the fourth elder brother's incident. Plus her father, Minister of the Interior, Eshuo, died. So Aifei's body has not been good. If her only brother is gone, are you going to make my concubine angry to death? Although Shunzhi didn't say which concubine it was, several people understood in their hearts that Shunzhi was talking about Concubine Dong E.

Hearing Shunzhi's words, Bahana and the others immediately crawled on the ground, didn't dare to say anything, but their bodies kept shaking, and then said: "Back to the master, the minions have ten thousand guts, and they don't dare to deliberately make the imperial concubine angry, so the minions will go and give an order to let the ministries attack Sichuan immediately." ”

As soon as the few people finished speaking, they heard a majestic voice outside the hall say: "No one is allowed to issue an order to march into Sichuan immediately, you can just follow the order originally discussed." ”
