Chapter 120 - The Great General of Sorrow
At the same time as holding the core member "Standing Committee" with the women of the Borzigit clan, in the reigning palace, the core father and son of the Aixin Jueluo family are also in a dialogue that seems to have no match.
"Xuan Ye, do you know that King Jianjun's Fujin died a few days ago? Alas, 'the so-called life and death are fate, and wealth is in heaven'. It's a pity that I ...... at a young age Alas" Fu Lin sat behind the royal case, sighing.
"Woke [Manchu: Auntie] is really pitiful!" With the tone of the reborn father, Hongyi is also overflowing with sadness. In fact, where did Fulin know, before he said that sentence out of the Analects. Yan Yuan", Hongyi remembered the tattoo that Beckham came to China to show off!
"Well, Amma, I want to give this Wok to you, an additional sacrifice." Fu Lin said, picked up a notebook on the imperial case, and handed it to the little son next to him who looked lonely and even a little "in a daze". It seems that Xuan Ye is also a doll who values feelings and understands filial piety - the emperor thought.
Becky's ancestors are probably now experiencing the dictatorship of the "Lord of the Protector" Cromwell in the British Isles, and they must not have heard of this sentence - Hongyi thought.
In December last year, Wang Jidu, who was appointed by Fu Lin as the "Great General of Dingyuan", raised more than 10,000 men and horses to the north, and arrived in the Selenga River valley area 150 miles southeast of the "Beihai" [Lake Baikal], and set up a garrison in Ulan-Ude, and later temporarily took the post of Ulan-Ude Zhangjing, thanks to Xuan Ye, who was less than a year old at the time. You must know that in the official history, although he was indeed awarded the title of "Dingyuan General" at the same time, he did not go to the "North Sea", a bitter sea in the far north. Instead, he went south to the coast of Fujian to deal with Zheng Chenggong, who was getting bigger and bigger.
But this time, his family has really undergone earth-shaking changes: first in April, the third successor of Prince Heshuo Zheng Jierharang, and Jidu's nominal genuine mother, Yehenara clan. Su Tai [1] died, and his father Zierharang also "drove the crane west" in May, and his third brother, Heshuo Minjun Wang Ledu, was also "gentle" deprived of the position of the owner of the blue flag [this matter alone is not the official history], and then the unfortunate death of Jidu's main room Fujin a few days ago.
So far, "three funerals a year", coupled with the loss of his own "flag owner" black gauze hat, it can really be described as a misfortune for the family. But that's not the end of it! Hongyi knew that Jidu's younger brother, Ledu, the king of Doromin County, was already terminally ill by now. It is estimated that the "complete reimbursement" will be a matter of one or two months. With this calculation, it can be described as "four mournings a year". [In the official history, King Ledu of Minjun was born in Beijing in the same year, that is, on October 19, the twelfth year of Shunzhi. He was only twenty years old. Because he had no heirs. And removed the title of King of Minjun]
But in order to stabilize the morale of the army. Emperor Fulin and Beile Xuanye both strongly advocated that this successive series of "bad news" be temporarily concealed from Jidu, who was far away in the world, and sent the Zongren Mansion Zong Zong Ling Yue Le to do the work himself, and even Ledu and others wrote a letter to Jidu. I don't dare to reveal the above in the slightest. Fortunately, between the Far North and the Jingshi, the letters were not sent so frequently.
When Hongyi heard that Fulin said that he wanted to "add sacrifices [2]" once, he instantly felt that he was a little sorry for this cousin. Although in the official history, Jidu also learned the bad news that his father, his mother-in-law [the children born of concubines call their father's wife their mother-in-law], his wife and younger brother have passed away one after another after returning to Beijing in March of the 14th year of Shunzhi, but after all, it is really embarrassing to have his own participation in this unconventional matter.
Jidu is indeed more sad, according to the "Qing Shilu" record: on the 24th day of the first month of the 14th year of Shunzhi, "the general of Dingyuan, the son of Jidu, returned to Beijing." At that time, the son Jidu's father Prince Heshuo Zheng, his mother Fujin [i.e., "Fujin"), the king of Dido Romin County, and the son Fujin have all passed away one after another. When he arrived in Beijing, he ordered the Minister of Parliament, Ha Shitun, to welcome him to Lugou Bridge and tell him (these bad news). The son of the world wept and mourned in front of the coffin. Then return to the house. on the first place. Jidu led the officials and subordinates to greet him, and when he saw it, he fell into tears. A little earlier, he descended to the public, held his hand, and mourned very much. The courtiers all wept. The above said Jidu: 'I came, I wanted to be relieved at first, and I couldn't help but mourn when I saw you. Er Shang reluctantly listened to my words, was sad and sad, and loved himself for the country. Then he gave tea and wine with his hands, and gave it back to the ministers of the princes. After the tea, return to the palace. ”
"The retainers also heard that the head of the Zongren Mansion talked about the addition of sacrifices." Hongyi didn't open the notebook, because his mind was thinking about the misfortune of Jidu's family, and he was a little distracted, but he just answered respectfully but casually, without careful thinking.
"Oh? Is it? By the way, Ama forgot that he had already given you the position of the right Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion. Hehe, then you should indeed have heard about this sect of people's mansion. Fu Lin closed his eyes slightly, as if he had realized.
Hongyi, who was originally very relaxed and even a little slack, suddenly felt a chill in his back when he heard this! Wrong! There's a problem with your own duet! Fu Lin's sentence "You should indeed have heard about the affairs of the Zongren Mansion" actually made Hongyi break out in a cold sweat, why?
Because I know too much, too early!
"A companion is like a tiger", children know this truth, and they must always be vigilant to protect themselves. But if you have been by the emperor's side for a long time, especially when you are still a prince who is "increasingly favored" and "reused", it is inevitable that you will relax your vigilance. But once you stretch your hand too long, or even look disrespectful, as long as you are not the emperor, you will still be in danger.
When Fulin said this, he closed his eyes slightly, which was a manifestation of displeasure, which was all too familiar to Hongyi, a deputy director-level cadre who has worked hard in contemporary officialdom for more than ten years.
"Huang Ama, the sons were able to hear about this by chance, but it was only because the head of the Zongren Mansion who was temporarily assigned to the Imperial Servants Bureau to be on duty chatted with the sons, and it was not found out in the yamen of the Zongren Mansion." Hongyi packed up his thoughts and hurriedly added.
"Oh." Just as simple as that? Then go ahead and explain!
"Emperor Ama, how dare your sons meddle in the affairs of the Zongren Mansion led by King Anjun [Yue Le]? Xuan Ye just received the emperor's order and served as the emperor's errand in the Imperial Servant Bureau, and everything in the Zongren Mansion was still the same as usual. Although Erchen's right Zongzheng is an important position in the Zongren Mansion, Yu Xuanye is actually just an idle errand, and this minister of the Imperial Servant Bureau is the main position of Erchen! The sons resolutely did not dare to live up to the favor of the emperor Amma! ”
Hongyi hurriedly broke down his relationship with the Zongren Mansion clearly. Originally. Isn't it because he wants to lead the imperial servant bureau in person, so he has added a false title of "Zongren Mansion Right Zongzheng", don't let the emperor think that his hand is really stretched out for a long time.
"Okay, you can take a look at the transcript of this sect first." Fu Lin saw that Xuan Ye was a little anxious, knowing that the effect of the two "oh" words before and after he had been achieved. Since the purpose of reminding the little guy has been accomplished, he no longer cares whether his son should know about it in advance, but gets to the point.
Hongyi calmed down, then opened the notebook and read it carefully.
It turned out that a few days ago, Jidu's Fujin died. Everything was carried out in accordance with the rules of the clan funeral rites set in the first year of Shunzhi. The blessing of the king of Doro is gone. The legislation is very detailed. In addition to the Ministry of Rites having officials to conduct the funeral, the king of Doro and below also had to participate in the funeral [hui funeral, which refers to participating in the funeral ceremony together]. The funeral set up a ceremonial guard, specifically: five saddle horses. with a colored coffin. Lined with five layers. There are also requirements for funeral clothing: mourning clothes for the mourners. Until the end of the festival. There are two sacrifices in total, the first sacrifice and the second sacrifice day, except that the emperor will give one ox, six sheep, seven bottles of wine, and 15,000 paper money. The rest can be increased by the Lord himself. There were also a pole, 60,000 gold and silver ingots, 45,000 paper money, 8 sheep, and 25 tables for sacrifices. On the day of the 100th day and the anniversary, the emperor will give another 10,000 gold and silver ingots, 10,000 paper money, seven sheep, and thirteen tables. It's very grand.
According to common sense, on the day of the first sacrifice, Xuan Ye, who was Dorobelle, should have participated, but remembering that he was too young, the emperor personally decreed that he could be exempted from the first sacrifice and the second sacrifice. But considering that Jidu is commanding troops abroad, it is really hard, in order to declare the emperor's grace, the Zongren Mansion asked for instructions again, whether it is possible to sacrifice this Fu Jin once during today's Double Ninth Festival. I don't know if Emperor Fulin suddenly remembered something, and specifically wanted to discuss this issue with his reigning palace.
Fu Lin patiently waited for Xuan Ye to finish reading the book, and then said:
"On that day, you went north to attack the Rakshasas, so I ordered Jidu to command the troops in the north, and his contribution was indispensable. Unexpectedly, in this year's time, his family has suffered many changes, first his parents died, and now this great blessing is also ......, alas, I really can't bear it. ”
"What Huang Ama said is extremely true, why don't you just approve the invitation of the Zongren Mansion?" Hongyi still didn't understand what this had to do with him, so he carefully inquired.
"Well, I also thought about what they asked, so I asked the second-class Ashani Hafan [3], the Minister of the Interior, the Yellow Flag Manchuria Gushan Ezhen, and Zhao Butai to pay tribute to Jidu's Fujin." Fu Lin said as he looked at Xuan Ye. Who to send, the emperor has already decided, and there is no need to ask in a tone. But leaving this matter unfinished, it has another deep meaning.
Hongyi suddenly came to his senses, bowed down and said:
"Huang Ama is thoughtful, and on the day when King Jianjun returns to the dynasty, he must be grateful to Dade. However, Erchen also wanted to do his part, after all, Jidu was also Xuan Ye's cousin. Besides, he went to the extreme north, and it was still Xuan Ye's idea that day. ”
"Oh, it's rare that you have this heart, okay!" Blessing is overjoyed, finally to the point!
"But the person who is the main priest ......" The emperor opened Chrysostom again, indicating that there is still something to think about.
"The son is young, why don't you participate in the sacrifice as the second son of the emperor. The person who is the main priest is still Zhao Butai. ”
"Haha, although Xuan Ye is young, he understands righteousness, Ama is happy!" Fu Lin waited for his own answer, and it was Xuan Ye who took the initiative to do it, Long Yan Dayue.
"Huang Ama has won the award. The death of the wife of the king of Jianjun is indeed a big deal for ordinary people's families, not to mention the blessing of the king of Doluo County in the Qing Dynasty, so it should be taken care of more. In this way, it is enough to declare to King Jianjun the compassion of my emperor Ama, I love the royal line of Xinjueluo, and I can teach all the people in the world to be humane, so that they know: father and son are related, monarchs and ministers are righteous, husband and wife are different, the elder and the young have narrative, and friends have letters. ”
Hongyi Zuihou quoted a passage from "Mencius", which made Fulin very useful to listen to.
"Good! You can say that again! Fu Lin couldn't help but shout hello, but he didn't know that he had been on Xiao Xuanye's way again!
In fact, it's not all because Hongyi is calculating, but he suddenly remembered another thing, and he needed to take this opportunity to do it well!
[1] Yehnara? Su Tai, the daughter of Yehebu Taiji Derheli, Beyler Jintaishi (Huang Taiji's biological mother, Empress Xiaoci Gao Yehenara. Brother of Menggu Zhezhe). Married to Mongolian Chahar Lindan Khan, she was the third concubine of Lindan Khan, the third of the eight great blessings, called Sutai Great Fujin, and was known as the Queen Mother of Sutai in history. In April of the ninth year of Tiancong (1636), he returned to Houjin with the Chahar tribes, remarried Jierharang, and became the fifth wife of Jierharang Fujin (the fifth Fujin who was married into the door), and after the death of Jierharang's concubine Fujin and Jifujin, she became the "third successor Fujin". Later, Jierharang was named Prince Heshuo Zheng, and Sutai Fujin was also named Prince Heshuo Zheng's "Heshuo Great Fujin", and naturally became Jidu's genuine mother.
[2] Added sacrifice means to increase sacrifice. In the Qing Dynasty, important officials who died were often made exceptions. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it was stipulated: "Anyone who died of illness with meritorious service to the prince of the people, according to the rules of the tomb, still according to the grade of paper sheep wine, send officials to sacrifice once." Or from the Uga Offering, from the top of the cut. For example, in July of the first year of Shunzhi, "Qing Shilu" recorded: "The late scholar Xie was promoted to Taifu, and he was Qingyi." Yin Yizi is a member of the middle school. Nine altars were sacrificed, and seven altars were added, and the whole burial was given two pieces of silver. ”
[3] Ashani Hafan, Qing Jue name. It was named in the fourth year of Shunzhi (1647). In the first year of Qianlong (1736), the Chinese characters were set to be male, and the Manchu script was the same. (To be continued......)
PS: Every day is limited by Hongyi's current level and ability, and there is really not much time to do more outbreaks. A man who is nearly forty years old, middle-aged, hehe, with 3,000 words, but he has to read more than ten volumes! Alas! I'm sorry!
But I will never be a eunuch in this book, I promise!
