Chapter 67 - Saying the Wrong Thing in a Dream
Hongyi hid in the quilt and smiled evilly, really admiring Yue Le's cleverness!
The Empress Dowager Bumu Butai is the daughter-in-law of Huang Taiji. Yue Le's father is Huang Taiji's eighth brother Abatai, Huang Taiji and Abatai are the eighth and seventh sons of Nu~Erhachi respectively. Therefore, in terms of seniority, Yue Le called Bumu Butai the eighth aunt!
As the top brand of the Aixin Jueluo family now, the queen mother listened to her nephew's bitter plea, and she had to stand up, and there was no reason to continue to pass the buck!
"Yue Le, you get up first. It's all important ministers of the court, don't make a fuss like a kid there, let the servants laugh! The queen mother was tricked, and she didn't forget to care for this nephew who had just shown filial piety.
"Huh! Slave thanks to the Queen Mother for her grace! Although Yue Le got up and changed his name, the life-saving straw he grabbed had no intention of throwing it casually.
"It's just that this matter does need to be cautious. I also know the emperor's thoughts, and you monarchs and ministers still have to plan carefully. "Although the Queen Mother has a moral backing, it seems that she does not want to be directly involved.
Hongyi listened from the back and knew that it was time to make his own move again. Alas, a child less than two years old is going to speak so amazingly every day, don't be treated as a goblin, a demon or something like that one day! But then again, the more superstitious people are, the easier it is to blindly worship people, things, and things that are difficult for them to grasp.
Besides, now that there are still six years left before his "legal accession to the throne", he cannot waste this precious time. After all, the shijie in the middle of the seventeenth century was the era of rapid change, and the Chinese civilization in the original history gradually slowed down the pace of leading shijie at this time, so that there would be stagnation in the eighteenth century, the "changes unseen in a thousand years" in the nineteenth century, and the catastrophe in the first half of the twentieth century!
In this way, even if my current actions are widely criticized by readers for writing a novel in the future, I still have to do my best!
Say it, shoot it! It's time to start!
"Huang Mama, my grandson heard Master Fan Chengmo, the official of Long Xingri, say that in Shengjing that day, if it weren't for Sony, Ao Bai and other loyal ministers of the Yellow Banner to support Huang Ama, this throne might have been pocketed by the Nine Kings Dolgon!" Hongyi stared at the Queen Mother and said.
"Exactly." Bumu Butai was a little sad.
"That is to say, if it weren't for the two white flag ministers 'kneeling to persuade King Rui to take the throne immediately', the Nine Kings Dolgon would not have been able to ride a tiger and fight for the throne with Taizong, isn't this the truth?"
"This ...... It's also a truth. The Queen Mother suddenly had a thought.
What does Hongyi mean by this phrase? I'm afraid that even Yue Le understands, that is: If it weren't for the ministers of the two white flags for their own banner lord Dolgon, but actually for their future magnates, they would definitely not come out and fall out with the two yellow flags. By extension, if the children of the Eight Banners have only one master, then what is the dispute? Who is the emperor is different? As long as you do your job well, just wait for the "assessment and evaluation, and dividends at the end of the year"! Who would fight for their lives for your life?
The queen mother also heard another meaning, and only she and Su Mala on the side could understand, that is: The regent of the Nine Kings Dolgon, and even the later autocracy, was not because of his own minions? As for himself, maybe he had no intention of usurping the throne at all! [1] In this way, if the little Xuanye in front of him can really inherit the unification in the future, it may be possible to give him an explanation for the original appearance of this history!
"Huang Mama, King Anjun, so Xuan Ye understands your treatment of the Qing Dynasty and the world, and also sympathizes with the hardships of my Emperor Ama. If the world is full of Mongolian and Han Eight Banners wearing a master, all the princes, soldiers, and bannermen under the Eight Banners are only for our Qing Dynasty and for the emperor's life, where will there be any rebellion on the throne! Hongyi said his plan at the right time, and he didn't forget to leave a good image for his reborn father Fulin.
"Xuan Ye is right, this king has been taught!" The first to express his stance was Wang Yuele of Anjun. To be honest, he really didn't expect this level. In the past two days yesterday and today, I have always thought that the emperor wants to monopolize the world and monopolize power, but I have not thought that the biggest harm of the division of the Eight Banners is to create a check and balance on the imperial power.
"Uncle is overrated. In fact, the division of the Eight Banners was a system set by Taizu, but at that time, I was outside the Guan, with few people and poor land, and without the strong support of the various clans in Manchuria, it would be difficult to prosper outside the Guan. But after Taizong established the Qing Dynasty, Manchuria has long been unified, after Dingding Pass, in front of the Han people, the Manchurians should be twisted into a rope, rather than taking care of their own enclosure and households, climbing and competing, if this goes on for a long time, without the Han people, the Manchurians themselves will fall apart! Hongyi came prepared, sorted out the thoughts of the past two days, and made a small speech, which made several people stunned and amazed.
"Xuan Ye, the reason is good, but right now, it goes without saying that the three flags are up, but how to calm the dissatisfaction of the flag owners under the five flags?" When the queen mother said this, she finally expressed her stance on the side of her son Fulin, nephew Yue Le, and grandson Xuanye. However, the idea is decided, and you still have to give it a solution!
"Yes, my little Belle Master, you tell your uncle, what to do now is what matters!" Yue Le also came over, with an anxious and earnest expression.
"Xuan Ye thinks that if this matter is to be done, the top priority must be ......"
Hongyi lowered his voice, and even Su Mala couldn't hear it clearly in the outer circle, only to see the three of them talking to each other, sometimes contemplatively silent, sometimes nodding frequently, zuihou was suddenly enlightened, and smiled.
"Queen Mother, then my nephew will do it!" Yue Le put down this sentence and hurriedly left the palace, which was very different from when he came, the current King of Anjun was ambitious and ambitious!
"Su Ma, if you have time, you can also talk to my grandson about some things about the Nine Kings Dolgon, it seems that the past of our two sisters must be known by someone after all, but you can't let the descendants of future generations have more tongue-chewing stubble for no reason!" The Empress Dowager watched Yue Le go away and said as if she had realized something.
"The slave has written it down!" Su Mala was pleasantly surprised, how many years, since the emperor was in power, about the Nine Kings Dolgon, it has become an inviolable forbidden place for the queen mother, and even herself, a slave who is like a sister, never dares to talk about it. But today, she actually made an order in person, asking herself to talk to Xiao Xuanye about those old things......
On the fourth day of the ninth month of the twelfth year of Shunzhi, at night, Cining Palace.
The queen mother still kept Xuan Ye by her side to take care of her, and she took care of it herself: she fed the medicine herself, helped her with her clothes, slapped her to sleep in person, and even summoned Concubine Kang of Jingren Palace and Xuan Ye's mother to accompany her.
Tonight's Cining Palace has a lot more laughter and laughter than in the past, and there is a strong affection between mother and son, and grandchildren......
It wasn't until Xuan Ye on the bed gradually fell asleep that Concubine Kang was reluctant to kneel down.
"Concubine Kang, do you know what it is that a mother is more expensive than a child?" Seeing the tears in Concubine Kang's eyes, the Queen Mother asked.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the daughter-in-law thought, thought that ......" Concubine Kang was still immersed in fleeting family affection, and she didn't understand why the Queen Mother came to ask for a while.
"Well, I just like your innocent scheming, it's okay if you don't understand, don't understand everything, but add a lot of trouble." The words of the Queen Mother, in Concubine Kang's heart, thought of the light emitted by the palace lamp, flickering, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law wrote it down."
"Written down? Let me tell you, the key to a mother's son is to know how to protect herself! ”
"Yes!"
"Xuan Ye has my care, you just need to abide by the woman's way and serve the emperor wholeheartedly. For the rest, as long as you don't mix things around, I'll be in charge of everything! ”
"My daughter-in-law thanked the Queen Mother! The daughter-in-law must be cautious in her words and deeds, and do not cause trouble to Xuan Ye! ”
"What else?"
"And ...... And ......"
"Say!"
"Yes, also, the daughter-in-law will never send someone to Prince Xiang again, and she will not let Prince Xiang Fujin come to Jingren Palace again!"
"Wrong! Remember, you also have to take good care of this friendship with that Prince Xiang, Fujin Dong E. Remember, treat her well! ”
"Ah...... The daughter-in-law remembered. ”
"Okay, you kneel!"
Sent away the confused Concubine Kang Tong Jia, Su Mala hurriedly stepped forward to wait for the Queen Mother to change her clothes and go to bed.
"Alas, Su Ma, did I do the right thing?" The Queen Mother sighed lightly and asked.
"The Queen Mother, one is a son, the other is a grandson, they are all your heart, and your calculations are all for the Qing Dynasty and for the love of the Xinjueluo family!" Su Mala hid herself in the shadow of the lamp and replied clearly.
"Alas, sons and grandsons all have their own ideas! …… Forget it, you should go to bed early! The Queen Mother slowly lay down on the bed, unloading the prosperity and busyness of the day, and she clearly felt that she was much older.
Su Mala gently blew out all the palace lamps, saluted in the dark, and then quietly withdrew, lying on the couch in the outer room without a sound.
Bumu Butai had insomnia. Thinking back to Xuan Ye's words on this day, they were actually all right. I have to admire him for being so far-sighted at such a young age. The most important thing is about that Dolgon!
Obviously, he didn't turn his deep misunderstanding into a thick hatred like his father, on the contrary, Xiao Xuanye seemed to know the truth of the matter from the very beginning! No one would dare to talk to him about this, and even if he did, he wouldn't really know the truth of the matter!
Perhaps, in the entire dynasty, the only thing that really understands himself is Su Ma outside the house, and this little grandson Xuan Ye by his side?
Thinking of this, Bumu Butai turned over, wanting to test whether the little guy had kicked the quilt. You know, in fact, when Fulin was young, he didn't take such careful care of himself. It's not that she is not dutiful as a mother, when Huang Taiji was still there, she thought about how to compete with other aunts and sisters in the four palaces for favor and wit, but she threw Xiao Fulin more to Su Ma. Later, Dolgon was not allowed to take care of the little Emperor Fulin's daily life by himself, and he could only weep secretly day and night, close at hand, but far away from the sky......
"Alas! My child, I have wronged you! ”
Thinking of the sadness, Bumu Butai muttered to himself, but he didn't want Xiao Xuanye beside him, but at this moment, he stretched out his right hand and groped it.
The queen mother hurriedly grabbed the little hand, gently put it into the quilt, and looked at Xuan Ye's dislocated left shoulder with the help of the palace lamp, which was no big problem, and she was relieved in her heart. Just about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard Xuan Ye start muttering again, a small mouth closed one by one, looking very cute, not as unfathomable as in the daytime, attracting Bu Mu Butai to gently approach, wanting to take a closer look.
"Grandma...... Grandson misses you too! ”
Bumu Butai is a clever man, not Manchu, but Chinese!
It is said that there are thoughts during the day and dreams at night! This little Xuanye even speaks Chinese in his dreams, isn't it the second blessing that he is devoted to Sinicization! Thinking of this, Bumu Butai sat up straight and fell into deep thought......
Hongyi dreamed of his grandmother, a traditional Chinese woman who was widowed in her forties and raised her three children alone, and had a grandson at the age of 60 and pulled Hongyi himself to adulthood! In the dream, the grandmother, who had been dead for three years, took her hand and said with concern: "My child, I have wronged you!" Grandma is worried about you! ”
"Grandma, grandson misses you too...... Grandma, don't go! Just like that, grandma is gone. Hongyi was in a hurry and woke up, only to find that he was sleeping next to the Queen Mother and his "reborn grandmother" Bumu Butai. This Huang Ma Ma, at this time, was wearing a brocade quilt and sitting in a precarious position, looking at himself with a serious face, looking cold and serious under the flickering lights!
[1] In the canonical history, Dorgon was indeed very close to the throne. When Nu~Er~Hachi died, he also had a chance; When Huang Taiji died, he still had a chance. But in the end, he still chose to be the "regent of the imperial father" who is above ten thousand people under one person. Hongyi's statement at this time is just an expedient measure to win over the Queen Mother's faction. However, the real merits of Dolgon in history, Emperor Qianlong's comments may be pertinent. Qianlong commented on Dolgon: Prince Rui Dolgon, the regent has a year of prestige and self-authoritarianism, sweeping away the thief atmosphere and clearing the palace ban. Dispatch the kings to chase down the Liukou, pacify the territory, and create a scale. Feng Shizu entered the capital into a unified industry, and the credit is the most significant. Wang Zhili is loyal to the facts, and he is grateful for the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers. [Qing History Manuscript Volume 218 Biography 5]
