Chapter 220 - The Three Directions are Manchurian
The benevolent Empress Dowager Borzigit. Bumu Butai, full of gentle eyes to see his little grandson Aixin Jueluo. Xuan Ye, under the "traction" of the righteous daughter Kong Sizhen, left the main hall of Cining Palace, but he was still there staring, and only after a long time did he say to himself:
"When we were young, in the Horqin grassland, weren't we so happy......
"Queen Mother, at that time, you took very good care of the slaves and maids, and there was no master at all." Su Mala on the side knew that only he could speak at this time, and every word was crucial.
"Su Ma, how many times have I told you, the two of us are talking, don't be 'slave slave'......" The queen mother did not look back, and there was not the slightest hint of blame in her tone.
"Hey, Su Ma will never forget my sister's care and protection for me over the years!" Su Mala hurriedly changed his words according to the meaning of the superior.
"Old sister, I am old, and all the carefree when we were young have long been sent back to the Immortal Heaven...... Alas......" Bumu Butai finally withdrew his deep and gentle eyes, and turned his head to look at Su Mala.
"Sister, you are not old, you are blessed by eternal life...... Su Mala had a faint sadness on his face, which happened to match the sigh of the queen mother, but the words in his mouth were extremely firm.
"You all go down, let's talk!" The queen mother waved her hand, and the palace maids and eunuchs on the side said goodbye one after another.
"Su Ma, sit."
"Empress Dowager Xie!"
The master and servant became sisters again, and sat facing each other. It's exactly the same as what happened every day for many years.
"It's been so many years, so you can accompany me to talk to yourself, and I don't have to prevent you from going out and talking nonsense...... What are the two of us talking about today? The Queen Mother smiled and picked up the teacup, completely unintentionally starting the "chatter" year after year, day after day.
"Sister, you slept lightly last night, why don't I go and cook you a pot of mare's milk, do you refresh?" How could Su Mala not hear the implication? At this time, take over the topic, it's not good; It is even more inappropriate to explain that he will continue to be "tight-mouthed and tight-lipped like a bottle".
"Didn't you sleep well last night? Don't bother with it, just drink some tea. Look at the four chaste little Nizi. It's getting more and more likable. Bumu Butai also subtly changed the topic.
Likeable? It doesn't matter if you like it or not. Could it be that the emperor is blessed? That's natural, the Queen Mother's trick really worked! What about the others? It can be clearly seen that Xuan Ye is so old, he will not "like" Kong Sizhen. On the contrary, there is a kind of meaning of "can't hide". It's true that Kong Sizhen likes Xuan Ye more and more-Su Mala thought in his heart. Then he said:
"Not really! Kong Gege is getting more and more beautiful and amazing, and the emperor has to see each other almost every day......"
"Oh, if they are compatible. That's good! β
The Queen Mother heard her wish, took a sip of tea with a smile, and as if she suddenly remembered something, she slowly asked:
"Over there in Prince Xiang's mansion, do you take good care of it?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, everything is according to your orders, and the daily income has never been bad."
Su Mala knew that the Empress Dowager was not thinking about Prince Heshuo Xiang Bomu Bogol, but about his Prince Xiang Fujin - Dong E's family!
"Hmm. I hope everything is too peaceful, and after a few days, it will be light, right? β
"What the Queen Mother said is extremely true!"
"But you say, is our little Xuanye the same as him Amma, and he also likes Sinology and Han people too much?" Bumu Butai raised his head again, and his gaze fell on the Cining Gate in the distance.
"Hehe, old sister, according to Su Ma, he not only likes Sinology, but he is tireless in our Manchurian knowledge and Mongolian old sayings, and even in North Korea, he often asks Park about it, and he is very studious! Not only that, but even for John Tang's Western knowledge, he also consulted with his 'old Marfa' every once in a while. β
Su Mala was very shrewd, and hurriedly used a big and simple technique to resolve Xiao Xuanye, who "regarded it as his own".
"Oh? He's a studious kid? The Queen Mother withdrew her gaze and said thoughtfully.
"Hmmm! The queen mother and the emperor have a master, and the Qing Dynasty has been in the country for a long time! Su Mala gave an auspicious word, intentionally or unintentionally violating a big taboo - the inheritance of national ancestors!
"Hmm......" The Queen Mother couldn't hear it, but she only nodded slightly.
"Xuan Ye is smart and auspicious, which is indeed a blessing of the Qing Dynasty. I also know that you, like me, are now feeling sorry for him. Bumu Butai stared at Su Mala and said word by word.
"Slaves don't dare to call your grandson 'us'. He is the Baylor of the Qing Dynasty, the heir of the emperor, and the bloodline of the queen mother! Su Mala hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully.
"Look, as soon as I get down to business, you're 'slave slave slave' again, annoying or not?" The Queen Mother feigned annoyance, blaming herself for being a sister.
"Slave maid...... Oh no! Su Ma was wrong, my sister was angry! Su Mala cleverly admitted his mistake, and then filled the cup on the table with tea.
"But after all, the emperor is still in his prime, and it is certain ......that the heirs will flourish in the future," the queen mother said tentatively.
"Queen Mother Shengming!" Su Mala knew that she was right not to sit back down, so that she could not let her old sister see the loss and melancholy on her face at a glance.
"But Fu Lin doesn't like this queen~ All kinds of Manchurian women in the palace, otherwise Xuan Ye is almost three years old, and for a long time, no one's stomach has moved!"
Bumu Butai didn't need to look back, he knew what kind of expression was on Su Mala's face behind him, so he continued to say his thoughts.
ββ¦β¦β
Su Mala's heart moved, and he understood that just as he knew the Queen Mother very well, the Queen Mother also knew everything about herself. So he didn't say anything, just went back to the Queen Mother.
"It's a pity that Sizhen is a Han girl, although she joined the Han army. But even if she follows my wish in the future, has a name, and gives birth to a boy and a half girl to the Aixin Jueluo family, she is not the descendant of our Borzigit clan......" Bumu Butai continued to analyze the current situation of "national inheritance".
"Su Ma I...... Master, he ......"
"Su Ma, listen to me." The Empress Dowager decisively interrupted Su Mala's reluctantly reopened words, and continued:
"Although Xuan Ye was not born to our Borzigit woman, I don't care about my sister! He has done everything since he was born, and he is not ungrateful! β
"Su Ma thanked the Empress Dowager for the young master!" Su Mala finally couldn't help it, and still took the initiative to hook up with Xiao Xuanye.
"Su Ma, I've known this for many years. You are alone with your old sister. There has not been a day of humanity. That's why I asked you to take care of Xiao Xuanye that day. First, you are my own sister, I can rest assured. The second is to find you a haode to rely on after I am a hundred years old...... I know that Xuan Ye is sensible and considerate, and understands righteousness. It's a nostalgic person. You treated him like a mother. He will not abandon you......"
"Sister!"
Su Mala finally couldn't sit still anymore, she couldn't cry anymore, and she fell down in front of the queen mother's knees!
"Su Ma. Don't cry, old sister must think carefully about you. Get up and listen to what I have to say. β
Bumu Butai had also left warm tears, and in front of Su Mala, he let it fall on his chest one by one.
"So, what is the future of the Borzigit family, and what is the future of the 'Manmeng family', with my help, but also with your strength!"
"Queen Mother, Su Ma knows what to do!"
"Hmmm! Why did I have no sleep last night? Aren't you afraid that Xiao Xuanye doesn't know the situation of the court, once there is a bad pool, he will offend the old family? Doesn't the Han people have an old saying: Three years old is big, seven years old is old? Once their Manchurian ministers make up their minds, at that time, no matter how great our ability is, you and I will be powerless! Bumu Butai's eyes were filled with tears, but his gaze was unusually far-reaching!
"Su Ma knew today that the Queen Mother was far-sighted, and she must obey the Queen Mother's orders in everything!" Su Mala prostrated himself on Bumu Butai's knees, raised his head and swore solemnly.
"I can trust you! Su Ma, sit and talk, it's already cold, and the ground is cold, you are not a little girl after all......" The queen mother's sister generally pulled up her sister, helped her to sit firmly on the palace bench opposite, and continued:
"Now it seems that the emperor's mood of Mu Han can't be changed, but Xuan Ye is extremely smart, and neither side can be offended. I also know that in order to make the Qing Dynasty stable forever, the Han people must do without it. But if the Manchu and Han have done it, it can only be the result of the Manchu and Han families! If the Manchu and Han families are gone, with only hundreds of thousands of people in the Eight Banners, wouldn't they give up the world to tens of thousands of Han people? β
"Queen Mother......" Su Mala's eyes widened, and after thinking about it, he really broke out in a cold sweat.
"For the sake of the present, I can't interfere in politics. After all, Fu Lin's childhood made him quite conceited now, and he couldn't see others pointing fingers. I am his Eji, and I can't bear to see him sad. However, the Han people can't completely rely on ......," the Empress Dowager said here, but deliberately paused.
"Queen Mother, Su Ma will definitely be kind to the young master when he has the opportunity and explain this truth to him." Even though Su Mala burst into tears, there was no water in his head, and he was still very smart!
"Well, there are some things I will tell him, and they will reach the emperor's ears in less than half an hour. My surroundings have never been pure. You are different, the East Second Institute is also his own person......" Bu Mu Butai nodded and whispered to the truth!
"Su Ma understands!"
"After all, the current situation is not all controlled by the Manchu, Mongolian and Han families, or the Manchu and Han families, and there is another one that can also be used." The queen mother is scheming and complacent.
"Another one?" Su Ma had already guessed a few points in his heart, but he still had to look puzzled, waiting for the master to say the only correct answer.
"Yes, there is another one, the first one is my father-in-law Tang Ruowang and Xuan Ye's old Marfa!"
"The Queen Mother is talking about those people who came from the west?" Su Mala "suddenly realized"!
"Not bad! John Tong is kind to us, but he can be cautious and can be of great use. You just said that Xuan Ye often asks his Tang Lao Mafa for a lesson or two, I think he has long understood this truth. The Queen Mother was very satisfied with her analysis and nodded.
"I see." Su Mala is now very conscientious as a loyal listener.
"The people who come from the West are detached and have many geniuses, and this Western study is very knowledgeable. If Sinology wants to be a big family, I don't think we should come out to refute it, and when the time comes, the Westerners will naturally give them a fierce blow! β
Hearing this, Su Mala's heart sank - little Xuan Ye, have you ever thought of the stakes involved?
In this way, the Manchus, the Han people, and the Westerners, the three families are dependent on each other and restrain each other, and they are not afraid of the Han or Westerners sitting on each other! When they were Han emperors, they had always divided and ruled the courtiers, and party strife had never been eliminated, but when it intensified, the role of the emperor was not very important? Now that Fulin supports the Han people, the old Manchurians are dissatisfied, so there are many people who come to me to ask for support, but I am an old woman, how can I interfere in politics in the harem? β
"The Queen Mother is the pillar of the Qing Dynasty......"
"Su Ma, we women, it's better to stay away from the court!" Su Mala was about to say a word, but Bumu Butai stopped her in time.
"However, if Xuan Ye is good at gathering the minds of the Manchurians, coupled with his current status in Hanchen, and his relationship with Tang Ruowang, it will be a matter of pushing the boat along the river. I see, he understands this! β
The queen mother didn't say anything anymore, but looked at the autumn colors outside the hall again and was silent.
And Su Mala, at this time, was full of a "mother", worried and prayed for her son: Xuan Ye, how can I tell you and Pan about today's nagging? I hope you already know that...... (To be continued......)
