When the Taiping Army was besieged in Xinhui, Guangdong, in the Forbidden City of Beijing, the young Shunzhi Emperor was hugging Dong E, the virtuous concubine he had only been canonized last month, and was talking about love, which made the beautiful women in his arms laugh from time to time. This Dong Eshi is a Manchurian Zhengbai Banner person, the daughter of the Minister of the Interior E Shuo, the sister of General Feiyangu, after entering the palace, he was deeply liked by Shunzhi, and in less than a month, she was named the imperial concubine on the grounds of "sensitive, wise and good, and not out of Dong E's family".

The young man and woman were affectionate, and after some movements, Shunzhi picked up the fold on the desk on a whim and looked at it, but he only glanced at it a few times and threw it aside in annoyance, and his expression was faintly depressed.

Concubine Dong E observed her words, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”

"Hmph, those old guys who are the ministers of the council really don't know what kind of heart they are, they always want to make trouble for me, so they don't want me to be pure" Thinking of those old things, Shunzhi became more and more depressed.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Concubine Dong E took her eyes to look at the fold that was casually thrown aside by Shunzhi, but it was far away, and she couldn't see what was written on it for a while.

"Alas, nothing"

Shunzhi didn't want to talk about it, but when he saw that Concubine Ai was looking at him with a concerned face, he couldn't help but talk about this thing that made him very annoyed.

The excerpt was made by the Minister of the Interior, Sukh Saha, but it was Hong Chengchou's matter. The Zheng clan from the Southern Ming Dynasty was driven to the coastal islands of Fujian, and after the Dingyuan general Jidu returned to the court, the attention of the Qing court was completely focused on the southwest region occupied by Zhu Youlang.

In response to the war against the Southern Ming Dynasty, Shunzhi followed the strategy of the Han system when Dolgon was alive, and handed it over to the university scholar Hong Chengchou to handle, in order to show his trust in Hong, Shunzhi deliberately crowned Hong as the Taibao and the prince and the prince, and made him the governor of Huguang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. At the same time, it was decreed that the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War should not interfere with the governors of the five provinces, and the Ministry of Households should not delay the governors of the five provinces.

However, since Hong Chengchou became the governor of the five provinces, all kinds of slander and slander in the DPRK and China have been poured into the ears of Shunzhi from the Manchurian nobles. Especially in the last two years. Hong Chengchou was expected to besiege Nanming Sun but not attack, and stationed troops in Hunan for a long time. If you don't see progress, you will spend countless money and food, and the bullet stamps will be like snow. But although Shunzhi is young, he is suspicious and does not use suspicions, no matter how the DPRK slanders and suspects Hong Chengchou, he is unmoved and always trusts Hong Chengchou.

Who knows. It also caused another discussion among the ministers of the parliamentary king, saying that Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang of the Southern Ming Dynasty are the adopted sons of Zhang Xianzhong, these two are the two tiger generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and their troops are not weaker than the strong army of the Qing Dynasty soldiers and horses, and the territory occupied by the Nanming is poor and weak, and it is not easy to attack, and it is too chicken ribs. Some people even proposed to simply abandon the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou and make peace with the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

This kind of remark was not taken to heart at the beginning, and he did not interfere with Hong Chengchou because of this kind of remarks. But Li Dingguo was a famous king twice, and after the Manchurian soldiers suffered heavy losses, he was also frightened and shaken, and he also had the idea of dividing the river with the Southern Ming Dynasty, and even secretly ordered the palace to transport the gold and silver treasures that had been plundered over the years to Guanwai, and retreated to Guanwai when the situation was not right, but this idea was dispelled under the persuasion of the Minister of the King of Parliament and Hong Chengchou and other Manchu and Han officials.

Not long after, the situation in the south improved, and Li Dingguo gave up continuing to go north for some reason, and went to Guangdong, where he suffered two defeats in succession. On the battlefield in Hunan, the Qing army also stabilized the defensive line, which made Shun Zhi'an feel at ease. In my heart, I no longer heard the fear of Li Dingguo's two famous queens.

However, Nanming did not fight Jianglai, but Hong Chengchou only confronted Sun Kewang on his side. The Qing army did not have any enterprising momentum, and the annual consumption of money and food was more than before, so that the bullet medals against Hong Chengchou were increased again as before, and this time it even involved a group of important ministers

After talking to Concubine Ai in detail, Shunzhi said disapprerovitically: "I really want to remove Hong Chengchou, who dares to guarantee that the people sent over will do a better job than him?" At present, it is good that the south can be stabilized, but two years ago, Li Dingguo scared these old guys a lot, and it was not one or two who were clamoring to row the river and rule at that time. After speaking, Shunzhi snorted slightly, he didn't dare to replace Hong Chengchou, although the current situation is difficult to dominate the world, but after all, it can make him do well in the Forbidden City, don't be afraid, he doesn't want to risk the substitution result to make the scene two years ago reproduce. Spending money and food is a trivial matter, and the people of the Han people are on the left and right, as long as the people of Manchu and he, the emperor, can live freely.

Concubine Dong E didn't understand the major affairs of the state, she only knew that the emperor said that Hong Chengchou was an old man, and she also knew that this old man could make the emperor feel at ease, so she said with a smile: "It stands to reason that the concubines dare not put their beaks in such things, but in the humble opinion of the concubines, even if the ministers are at fault, after all, they are thinking about state affairs, not for their own interests." Your Majesty doesn't have to be too angry with them, Yu Yili moves with emotion, and can always convince them. Otherwise, if the minister is still not convinced, how can he obey the heart of the world? It's better to let the people below share some of the burden for Your Majesty. ”

"Concubine Ai is right, that's it, after two days, I will find a reason to mention it to Sony, Hong Chengchou's matter must not be pointed at by the central government, and they must share it."

Concubine Dong E's words Shunzhi obviously listened to it, and thought about asking Sony to come out to relieve his worries for the emperor, thinking so, he picked up a copy casually, and immediately looked at it with anger.

Concubine Dong E was so frightened that she hurriedly straightened up from Shunzhi's arms, and said in surprise: "What makes Your Majesty so angry?" ”

"It's this year's autumn decision, and I'm going to kill some people!" Shunzhi put the fold in front of Concubine Dong E.

Concubine Dong E looked at Na Qiu for a moment, the lines of black letters revealed the breath of death, she frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the fugitive nest master will be killed as soon as he is caught, isn't it too ......."

Concubine Dong E's words didn't continue, and she didn't dare to say any more, because she saw that Shunzhi's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

"Concubine Ai doesn't have to pity these fugitives, I don't kill these fugitives, who will work hard for them? Who feeds its people? If they don't harbor it, how dare they flee, and where there is a place to escape, I won't tell you this. ”

Shunzhi casually circled the list, and this circle was more than 100 Han heads on the ground.

Concubine Dong E, as a member of the Manchurian banner, didn't really want to pity these escapees, but it was just a woman's nature, and when she saw that Shunzhi had been circled, she stopped talking and quietly snuggled in his arms.

Shunzhi looked at her and sighed: "With you by my side, my heart is really much more relaxed." When he looked up and saw that it was getting late outside, he said, "You go to the bath first, and I will go later, remember, I want to use the flower bath, and I smell the fragrance." ”

Concubine Dong E threw a wink, smiled and was about to withdraw, but before she turned around, someone outside shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, a good thing, a great thing!" ”

The person who shouted was the leader eunuch Zhao Dequan, he ran into the palace gate, and everywhere he passed, the palace maids and eunuchs all opened their mouths wide, feeling incredible: Zhao Gonggong is crazy about this, why is he screaming so loudly in the palace? !

Zhao Dequan's presumptuousness made Shunzhi in the palace also very unhappy, but listening carefully to Zhao Dequan's shouting was a good thing, and he was also puzzled in his heart, so he pressed down and waited quietly.

Xu was too happy, Zhao Dequan tripped over the threshold when he rushed into the hall, and slammed into the door three or four feet away, and the whole person fell to the ground, which frightened Concubine Dong E's eyes wide.

"Oops!"

The eunuch guarding the door who was close at hand was so surprised that he didn't know if he was going to step forward to help this Zhao Gonggong.

Fortunately, Zhao Dequan didn't fall into anything, but jumped up at once, and then happily rushed to His Royal Highness, handed the music in his hand upward, and said excitedly: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Nanming Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo are fighting!"
