On the sixth day of the ninth month of the twelfth year of Shunzhi, in the evening, Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager Bumu Butai, Emperor Fulin, and Little Belle Ye Xuanye, who had been on the road for a day, got together very rarely, and shared dinner under the personal service of Su Mala.

This meal was arranged by the Queen Mother by order of herself. Since Hongyi was injured and moved back to Dongersuo from Cining Palace, this little grandson has been even busier. This morning, Chao Xuanye participated in politics, which was greeted by the emperor's son in advance, and he also received his own approval and praise. But, after all, a little child, still with injuries on his body, is so busy, it really makes Bumu Butai feel at ease.

When Shang Yougui went to the Yugong Palace to tell the emperor, it happened that the second son of the emperor, Xuan Ye, was here. The father and son are in full swing discussing the appointment of the author of "Guoyi" Tan Qian. Fu Lin is very satisfied with the position of editing the National History Academy of the Inner Han Dynasty, besides, although this Jiang Zuo remnant does not have a real official position, but this can be regarded as a member, and it can be said that it is a good start for many other former Ming relics who Fu Lin has repeatedly recruited but not come! So, when they heard the Empress Dowager's decree, the two immediately rushed to Cining Palace.

"Emperor, you can eat a few more bites today, after all, you have done such a big thing, and you have so smoothly collected the power of the Five Banners in the hands of the emperor alone, I really didn't expect it!" The Empress Dowager did not instruct Su Mala to do it, but personally sandwiched a small bite of food for the emperor's son.

After the pro-government of Fulin, Bumu Butai rarely took the initiative to intervene in the government affairs, naturally because of the ancestral family law of "women's temples are not allowed to interfere in politics", but more importantly, the emperor's son was very disgusted by this, and even showed strong dissatisfaction and opposition.

However, today's topic, that is because it involves the flag affairs of the clan, strictly speaking, there are some elements of family affairs, and it is reasonable for the Queen Mother to take the initiative to inquire.

"Huang Eniang, isn't it possible for the retainer to have your help?" Fulin, who has just historically become the sole owner of the Eight Banners, is in a very good mood, although it is a compliment, but it is sincere.

"The emperor is so polite today, hehe. However, E-Niang's 'sitting in the array' is not false at all, see who dares to bully our two mothers in this matter now. I don't even give the face of the rich lady and my cousin, don't I just want to let their clan prince Baylor know that now, we orphans and widows can't be looked down upon! The Queen Mother was also interested, and first praised herself.

"Yes, it's all up to Eniang to take care of the Buddha!" Fu Lin put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and replied respectfully.

"I am in the array, but I didn't do this helping thing. The person who helped you do it is Yue Le, oh, and the emperor, the little prince who has fallen from the sky. Oh, hehe, the heavenly family that has not been met for a thousand years has actually fallen to our Aixin Jueluo family, emperor, don't you say that this is the destiny of heaven?! When the queen mother said that she was happy, she seemed to have a lot of affection, and she was going to hug Hongyi from Su Mala's knees, ready to get close.

"Huang Mama, grandson is now the prime minister of the clan, grandson comes by himself, don't want Mama to hug it......" Hongyi deliberately looked serious, making a feint of dodging left and right, making the queen mother and the emperor laugh.

"Okay, good, my Prime Minister, don't hug, don't hug! Save yourself from losing the face of our little adults in front of those subordinates, don't you? hahahaha......ha

"Su woo ~ Ma woo ~ Gu woo ~ Gu woo, save me ......" Hongyi had to cooperate with the performance, although he had already had goosebumps, he felt the joy of the three generations of his grandparents in the same house. It's a pity that it's missing...... Less hostess.

The queen mother and the emperor laughed enough, and slowly restored the royal prestige, and Cining Palace once again changed from "home" to "palace".

"Xuan Ye, that criminal Sun Gouzi, you really don't want to be severely punished?" Since it was the Queen Mother, Fu Lin really didn't want to talk to his son about too specific government affairs, so he found a topic that he was interested in, but had nothing to do with the court situation.

"Huang Ama, Xuan Ye really can't punish him severely!" Xuan Ye had a small stomach and had already eaten enough, and when he heard the emperor's question, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and answered seriously.

"Can't? And not want to? Fu Lin heard the difference between the words. The Queen Mother continued to sip the ginseng soup one by one, just listening.

"Exactly. The evil slave bullied people, Hongyi really wanted to punish him severely. But it couldn't. ”

"Why? Grandchild elaborates. The Queen Mother asked first, in case the show stopped halfway.

"Huang Ma Ma, Huang Ama, no, because there is a clear text in the Qing Dynasty laws and regulations set by Huang Ama that Xuan Ye's injury is only a slight damage, and it is not enough to severely punish the criminal to death."

"But you are a clan, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and the prince of me." Fulin continued.

"It is precisely because Xuan Ye is the prince of the Qing Dynasty that it should be even more so. Royal prestige, in the prestige, its prestige has a degree, its etiquette has a system. Unbridled prestige is intimidation, and uncontrolled ritual is extravagance. Once intimidation and extravagance have become royal norms, are there still fewer royal clansmen in all dynasties who have overthrown the society and ruined the country? "Hongyi told the truth, and he didn't shy away from it. In such an occasion, there is really no need to hide it.

Su Mala on the side was about to hand the queen mother tea to rinse her mouth, but when she heard this, her hands trembled slightly, but she was seen by the queen mother and Hongyi. Hongyi looked up and saw Su Mala secretly pouting himself, meaning to stop in time!

"But that Diao slave beat my beloved prince, and if you don't kill it, it's not enough to raise the emperor's prestige!" Fu Lin had already heard Yue Le's report, but he really couldn't swallow this breath, for the sake of his son's grievances, and for Lao Tzu's face!

"If he is seriously injured by me, he can be severely punished! Once I lose my life at his hands, the emperor should cut him with a thousand swords, because this is clearly regulated by your royal statutes. However, Xuan Ye is only slightly injured now, so he must not abolish the law and succumb to his face. Hongyi said hard to Fu Lin's heart, and quietly observed that the Queen Mother next to him was nodding slightly.

"Besides, if Xuan Ye vents his private anger, then as soon as this case is opened, in the future, whenever there is a clan involved in the case, it will definitely become more serious, and in the long run, those princes and ministers will inevitably follow suit. At that time, won't the King James Law of the Qing Dynasty become a piece of waste paper, and even the little common people will scoff at it, and after committing the crime, they will not hope that the court officials will be tried according to the law, but speculate on the flies and dogs, and the royal prestige at that time will not plummet? The royal face is not as small as an ant? ”

"Well, well said!" Bumu Butai couldn't help but praise loudly, nodded with a smile and Su Mala, and said: "Su Ma, look at my grandson, where is he like a two-year-old child, so clear about things, with a social mind, it is all the emperor's training!" ”

"What the Queen Mother said is really reasonable! In addition to the master's work on state affairs, he always teaches the master by word and deed, and he is entrusted with important tasks, coupled with the queen mother's long-term earnest teaching, these days let the master go out for such an experience, the slaves and maids feel that the master has grown up a lot, and his skills are increasing day by day. In fact, the queen mother, you don't say it, you know it better than anyone else in your heart, can you still understand these truths master? This is clearly going to be my little master who wants to take the school exam, and in the face of big rights and wrongs, the country and private grievances are more important. It seems that the master has done it this time, and all the truths are clearly understood! You say yes, right? Su Mala finally waited for the opportunity to speak, and was busy putting on a high hat for Fulin, eager to directly put on the white pagoda [1] of Miaoying Temple for the emperor!

When the queen mother heard this, she first glanced at her son in front of her, then turned to Hongyi and said with a smile: "Su Ma is not bad at all. Xuan Ye is really smart, among them, Dali, your emperor Ama is just taking the school with you, and the results are all said by you one by one! You can say that again! It is worthy of being a good son of my love Xinjue Luo family, and a good prince of your emperor Ama! ”

"Haha, Xuan Ye is smart and sensible, has a social heart, and has a heart...... I am very relieved! Fu Lin hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and under the reminder of Su Mala and the blessing of the queen mother, he quickly put the position of "father and emperor" in the right place.

"Then Huang Ama, can this grandson follow the judgment of Shang Fang Yuan and let him stay in the northern frontier in vain?" Hongyi hurriedly asked.

"This ......" Fu Lin still hesitated.

"Emperor, Xuan Ye has good intentions, and he does not hesitate to damage his body for the sake of your imperial authority, so you follow his words, how about it?" The Queen Mother made a decree.

"Erchen respectfully obeys the decree of the Queen Mother!" Fulin still can't help but have some impatience, his wife said that he doesn't do politics, and Zuihou is still soft and hard.

"Son, thank the emperor for the holy grace of Amma!" Hongyi knew that at this moment, it was better not to thank Grandma and the Queen Mother in person.

"Your father is kind and filial to your son, and Emperor Taizong will be happy if he has a spirit in the sky." The Queen Mother is high, and she can always occupy the moral high ground!

"Erchen does not dare to forget the imperial examination posthumous training, and he will definitely do his best to reform the Qing Dynasty!" When Fulin heard that his father had come forward, he hurriedly stood up, straightened his clothes and hat, shook his hoof sleeves, knelt facing north, and worshiped Taizong's Zhaoling [2].

It's so tiring to be an emperor, and a word can also make you bow and knock! It's not easy to be a prince, and you have to kneel with you! Hongyi sighed secretly, and also bowed down with the emperor according to the custom.

"Okay, okay, I'm so old, I can't be emotional. Come on, come on, you two, hurry up, let's continue eating. The scheming queen mother just wiped the subtle "back ~ palace politics" back and forth.

[1] Miaoying Temple (commonly known as Baita Temple) The white pagoda is 50.9 meters high, and it is the highest single building in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty (not counting the altitude). In fact, the Beihai White Tower was built in the eighth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1651), it was built on the basis of the old site of the original Guanghan Palace, and the existing tower body is 35.9 meters high. The Taihe Hall is the tallest imperial building in Beijing, with a total of 35.05m including the pedestal. The only thing taller than this is the White Tower. The white pagoda represents the divine power, because the divine power is higher than the imperial power, so the white pagoda can be higher than the Taihe Temple.

[2] Qing Zhaoling is the tomb of Emperor Taiji of the second generation of the founding monarch of the Qing Dynasty and the Empress Borzigit of Xiaoduanwen, covering an area of 160,000 square meters, it is the largest and most magnificent one in the "Three Tombs outside the Guan" in the early Qing Dynasty, located in the north ten miles of the ancient city of Shenyang (Shengjing), so it is also called "Beiling", it is a tourist attraction of the Qing Dynasty royal mausoleum and modern garden. Zhaoling was built in the eighth year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty (1643), and was basically completed in the eighth year of Shunzhi (1651), and then underwent many reconstructions and additions.
