After the twelfth year of Shunzhi entered the first month, the "Wanshou Festival" and the "Thousand Autumn Day" came one after another. This Shunzhi Dynasty's longevity festival is very close to New Year's Day, because the thirtieth day of the first month is the birthday of the Qing Emperor Aixin Jueluo Fulin. On the eighth day of the first month of February, it is the Queen Mother's "Thousand Autumn Christmas", and these three big days are connected together, adding endless joy to the inside and outside of the capital and the whole country at the beginning of the new year.

On the day of the Wanshou Festival, Fu Lin dressed in full costume sat in front of the temporary colored gate at the site of the Taihe Hall ruins[1] to receive congratulations and contributions from the princes and officials. When congratulating the palace, the little prince Hongyi naturally would not let go of this opportunity to once again show that he was "born with the crown, talented, premature, and Chery", as usual, he ran down from the queen mother's knees, and with everyone's three bows and nine knocks, he meticulously completed the whole process, and compared the eldest son of the emperor, who was more than a year old on the other side and was eating his fingers and watching blankly, as if he was a world apart. Fulin sees it in his eyes, and he is also happy in his heart. After all, the every move of the Southeast Zheng clan was completely expected by this son who was less than a year old, which greatly increased his heavenly power as an emperor. Even the planning of the Far North is now in order, and the tens of thousands of troops of Jidu no longer have to go south, and they are marching to the icy and snowy coast of the North Sea. After a few months, it will be up to the little guy to see if his language will be able to get what he wants again.

After a set of birthday ceremonies, the nineteen-year-old Fu Lin also announced as usual, and for the next seven days, slaughter was prohibited, regardless of the punishment, and the whole world celebrated. Then, for the first time, he took the initiative to hug the little prince from the hands of the queen mother next to him, supported his imperial mother, and went to Cining Palace in the call of the ministers to send the emperor to the mountain.

In the evening, the Empress Dowager held a banquet in Cining Palace as usual to celebrate the emperor's birthday. At this time, the palace and the imperial garden, although they were once again in the winter and spring when the "pox disease [2]" broke out, they were still embroidered and connected, and the sheng songs rose from each other, the golden stone was a thousand sounds, and the clouds were full of colors; Outside the imperial city, from Tiananmen Square to Daqing Gate, all the way to the color of the square one after another, interspersed with color walls, color corridors, drama stage, song platform, lamp fang, lamp tower, light gallery, dragon shed, lantern shed countless people. Zhili and the representatives of the subjects of the provinces who entered Beijing also set up color workshops, and the ministries, temples, and supervision offices of the capital along the road also built scripture sheds and color workshops. There is a throne for a few miles, and the surrounding area of the throne is a warm and prosperous scenic spot. Along the way, the big characters such as "Longevity Without Borders" and "Ten Thousand Years of the Son of Heaven" made of colored silk appeared on the color wall; The Mongolian and Han armies all built a hundred old military attachés to offer longevity, and the stage was nine-level, and the actors dressed as hundreds of old people each held the word Jin Shou, and the layers were accumulated. At that time, inside and outside the capital, it can be said that the gold and blue are shining, the brocade is wrong, the lanterns and candles are beautiful, and the mist is misty, and it is permeating the surroundings. In addition to the Beijing Division, civil and military officials from all over the country also set up incense cases to bow to the direction of the capital......

On the day of the Empress Dowager's Thousand Autumns, although it was not as grand as the "Wanshou Festival", it was lit up in Cining Palace, and the children of the clan gathered together, laughing and laughing. And the highlight of the day also came from the two royal grandsons.

At that time, the eldest son of the emperor was a little nervous, but he also took the hand of his little brother Hongyi and knelt down in front of the queen mother together. After Brother Fu bowed three times and knocked nine times, he said in a milky voice: "Huang Mama, the grandchildren have congratulated you on your birthday!" And the little brother next to him also kowtowed, but did not say a word, after the ceremony, then he and his brother worked together to unfold a big red letter hidden behind them, with a big "Shou" word written on it, but next to it was crookedly painted a lot of auspicious clouds and bats, attracting a group of concubines to lean back and be surprised. The queen mother couldn't close her mouth when she was happy, and only said "yes" vigorously. Seeing this scene, Emperor Fulin became curious again, sat on the side and asked: "Big Brother, Second Elder Brother, the auspicious clouds and bats next to here, I already know the origin, hehe." But which concubine wrote this longevity word for you? ”

The eldest son of the emperor, Fuquan, saw that the emperor Ama personally asked, "Ahh Fu Lin listened patiently for a long time, and found that today's little brother was a little strange, he actually knelt down and saluted in a decent way, without a word, and seemed to have returned to the original appearance of a baby under the age of one! The curiosity of the eighteen-year-old young emperor came again, and he didn't care about Fuquan anymore, so he asked, "Second elder brother, why don't you talk today?" Then he laughed out loud as if he had triumphed.

"Back to the emperor Amma, the son is still young, and the elder brother is the elder, so it is reasonable for him to report it." Hongyi stood there, his eyebrows lowered and his eyes were smooth, like a little adult, even more endearing.

"Haha, Huang Eniang, the little prince you trained is really good, less than a year old, he will let Kong Rong let the pear, and the son is also ashamed!" Fu Lin said to the Queen Mother with a smile.

"When the emperor was young, he was also very smart, but he was no worse than your emperor! Hehe, besides, they are smart, and they are also the emperor's bloodline, aren't they? The Queen Mother said, looked at Concubine Kang Tong Jia and Concubine Dong E, and nodded slightly.

The two women are clever people, how can they not understand, and immediately take the lead in giving gifts, and recited the congratulatory message of the queen mother in advance of the rehearsal: "The concubines congratulate the emperor on his good health, the prosperity of the royal branches, and the eternal sustainability of the Qing Dynasty!" ”

"Okay, okay, I know, let's get up." Fu Linle raised his hand to signal, but his heart was always pimpled. These words seem to have been arranged by the emperor's mother, and they were for the two concubines who had children, so doesn't that mean that they can "cultivate" more in the back ~palace~? Don't you just want to tie yourself up with these women? I would occasionally be lucky to them, but it was just a matter of finding a place to vent my dragon spirit, but my heart was no longer here, and I had already followed my current brother and sister Fujin Dong E's mansion to the Eleventh Baylor's mansion.

Hongyi looked at the emperor's expression, knowing that his current situation was a little embarrassing, and in the spirit of his usual generosity, he said loudly: "Back to Huang Ama, this longevity word is not written by any mother concubine, but a letter from the sons, congratulations to Huang Ma Ma on longevity, longevity and Tianqi!" ”

This time it really liberated the emperor completely, and everyone's thoughts were gathered on the little Hongyi!

"You mean, you wrote it?" Fu Lin didn't have time to remember his youngest son's efforts to relieve the siege, and he began to be surprised.

"The words of Hui Huang Ama were written by his sons." Hongyi replied solemnly.

Everyone, including the Queen Mother, Su Mala, and Concubine Kang, all looked incredulous and waited for the following.

"Okay, Wu Liangfu, take the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and grind it for the little prince!" Fulin decided to take the school exam himself.

"Huh!" After a while, Wu Liangfu brought back a set of four treasures of the study, but the brush was medium-sized, and the pen was not much thinner than Hongyi's wrist. When Concubine Kang on the side saw it, she couldn't wait to go up and strangle this eunuch, but she didn't dare to make a mistake, and her anxious tears were about to fall.

Seeing Wu Liangfu busy on the side, Xiao Hongyi looked at Concubine Kang and winked playfully, which allowed Xiao Gongzi to stand firm on top of the royal board, waiting with care.

Soon, Wu Liangfu sharpened the thick and thick ink, and rolled the brush in it, then smiled and presented it to Hongyi with both hands, and said: "Please use the pen!" ”

Your grandma's, voila! Hongyi secretly greeted this ancestor who had no descendants in his heart, and steadily took the brush that was almost half his height, calmed down his mind and breathed enough, and then picked up the pen and started writing. Fu Lin really wanted to take a step forward to see what was going on, but he held back and sat aside.

Fortunately, the little prince let everyone's wait last for a long time, and then put down the brush. Liang Gong and Wu Liangfu were on the side, displaying the royal rice paper in front of everyone.

"建極綏猷 [yóu]! [3] Fulin blurted out, his face darkened for a moment, and then he was silent in thought. The Queen Mother also had a solemn face and did not say a word. Everyone was shocked and did not dare to speak out. And Concubine Kang Tong Jiashi has begun to tremble slightly, after all, the words of little brother are obviously a bit of an education to the emperor, and if it is more serious, it is a great disrespectful sin!

After a long time, Fulin shouted: "Good! This calmed everyone's minds. He knew that the meaning of this sentence was: the Son of Heaven has a dual sacred mission to the emperor and the common people, and he must not only inherit the heavens and establish the law, but also soothe the people and conform to the avenue. Although it was written by his own son to Lao Tzu, it is important for politics, and it is indeed not to be taken lightly.

"It's rare for the little prince to work hard, although this font is immature and difficult to enter, but its idea is far-reaching! Good! Fu Lin raised his hand and motioned to Wu Liangfu, "Put this character away, I will go back and re-inscribe it for the two princes, and when the Taihe Hall is completed this year, I will engrave this character on the plaque, hang it above the ninth order, under the Xuanyuan mirror, and let the ministers and slaves look at it every day, so that I can know the ambition of the Qing Emperor!" ”

As everyone pounced and knelt down to chant, Hongyi also secretly rejoiced in his heart: It seems that the hand training and hard practice of calligraphy in the past few months are still effective! Go back and reward the two old eunuchs who entered the palace in the previous dynasty! Although the emperor can't look at this font, how does he know that it is not easy for the eunuch to teach the font like this! I don't know whose calligraphy Kangxi learned in later generations, and I have to practice it when I go back! [4]

It's just these four words, but the Queen Mother and Fu Lin both look at this young son who is less than a year old, after all, it is too heretical for a young child who has not yet had a preface to have such grand ambitions. The queen mother can also be understood as a successor, and Fulin, how will she feel?

On March 18, the twelfth year of Shunzhi, the son of Concubine Tong Jia of Jingren Palace turned one year old! In the afternoon of this day, after the Emperor Fulin and John Tang discussed, he officially gave the little brother the Chinese name "Xuan Ye", and the word "Xuan" was very important in Fu Lin's mind at this time: the son's name had the word "Xuan", and the imperial plaque to the foreign "Marfa" had the word "Xuan" twice, and the word "Xuan" was frequently used on important occasions, which was a set of doctrines taught by John Tang including astronomy, calendar, machinery and Catholic beliefs, which he was deeply convinced of. And the "Ye" is the auspicious rui of "Sunshine Ye Ye" when the little prince was born, and the two words are named, which is also the meaning of the brilliant and glorious knowledge passed on by the blessing of the foreign "Marfa". Then, Fulin officially named Xuan Ye as the second eldest and the second son of the emperor, and ordered the Zongren Mansion to be included in the "Jade" and called the second elder brother.

At night, in accordance with the will of the Empress Dowager and the emperor, the second son of the emperor, Xuanye, arrested Zhou in Cining Palace. Facing a kang of seals, books, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, knives and bows, and even jewelry, rouge and a bunch of food, Xiao Xuanye was calm, looked back at the queen mother, the emperor, and his own reborn concubine, he suddenly rushed forward, stretched out his arms, and took all the objects into his arms in one go, and pulled them in front of him, but only those rouge powder and all kinds of food were left outside, and then he hugged the objects in front of him with his arms together, and called out "come", Xiao Gongzi next to him hurriedly brought over a big silver plate, Xuan Ye put all his brains on it, took the silver plate himself, glanced at Xiao Liangzi, and signaled that the repeated drills in the past few months were in place, and put it firmly on his knees......

This can make the Queen Mother and Concubine Kang very happy. "The mourning family understands it, emperor, this second son of yours is really a godsend, and he will not fall behind this object of governing the country and the world! haha" The Queen Mother turned around and smiled at Fu Lin, but she was met with a cold face!

"Okay, the Sect of Destiny is in the book! Huang Eniang, I went back first. Fu Lin said lightly, hit a thousand, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Huang Ama, the retainers have a play!" Hearing this sentence of Manchu with a straight and round tone, Fulin hesitated, but turned around, at this moment, Hongyi, or Xuanye, had already knelt on the kang, a serious style of the emperor.

"Say." Fu Lin looked at the Queen Mother on the side and said helplessly.

"The sons and daughters ask for the three teeth, and the big brother Fu is invited to reorder the teeth for two, and the bull button of the early death is the big brother!" Hongyi didn't raise his head, and it was the first time he spoke a normal language, and it was no longer a four-word or four-word jump.

Fu Lin didn't expect such a question, and asked casually, "Why?" ”

"Hui Huang Ama, since ancient times, the young and the old are orderly, the brothers are kind and respectful, and the family and everything is prosperous. Although the eldest brother Niu Niu died early, he was the first son of Huang Ama after all, and although he failed to learn from Kong Rong to make Brother Lizun, he could still remember his guidance and enlightenment as the eldest son of the emperor when he heard his name. Moreover, since ancient times, benevolence and filial piety have ruled the world, and the second elder brother is all elder, and the sons must also respect the second brother, rely on the second brother, and later the fourth and fifth brothers...... Our brothers work together, harmoniously and compatibly, and in the future, we will share the worries and relieve the work of Huang Ama and smear the liver and brain for the Qing Dynasty! The sons and daughters asked the emperor to answer! Xuan Ye said and kowtowed again.

In any case, Fu Lin and everyone present were moved, since ancient times, there have been countless things about the prince serving the throne and deceitful to me, but the one who asked to lower his teeth and go back in the back row is still the first! Moreover, the affection in Xiao Xuanye's words is also true. After a long time, Fu Lin sighed for a long time, and then stopped thinking about his first son, and said in a gentle tone, "Xuan Ye, I know your hard work, this foundation of the Qing Dynasty, your brothers will eventually inherit it well, and they will also be harmonious with each other in the future, and they must not hurt their brother's harmony." It's just that this royal tooth sequence has always had a fixed number, and those who die before it are not counted. Your thoughts, I think of your brother Niu Niu, there is knowledge underground, and I will also feel it. Get up! ”

Seeing this scene, Hongyi no longer entangled, after all, he couldn't completely fulfill his wish for everything, and this matter could still be discussed in the long run, so he obediently climbed into the arms of the queen mother.

At this time, the queen mother, it was a joyful person, she knew that there was another reason why the emperor was so moved by these words, that is, the emperor had nine preface teeth, a few years older than the eleventh elder brother Beleb Bomu Bogol who was now fighting in the distance, Xiao Xuanye lowered his order teeth this time, which would inevitably sting the brotherhood in Fu Lin's heart, as for the Fu Jin Dong E, it would also make him think about it for a long time......

On the way back to the Weiyu Palace, the amorous young Tianzi Fulin remembered his eldest son Niu Niu again, and couldn't help crying and sighing...... Wu Liangfu peeked beside him, and when he saw that the emperor was so moved, he knew that he was moved by Concubine Kang's youngest son, so he quickly thought about it secretly, and whispered: "Master, which one of the second sons of the emperor can sing today?" ”

"Oh, what do you mean? My second son respects his elder brother, what else can he mean? Fu Lin was a little puzzled, for the eunuch next to him, since the first day he entered Beijing City, he served left and right, trusted, no matter what gossip he heard, he never had a trace of dislike.

"The master was the eldest son of the emperor last year. This young master is stunned to ask the master to demote him to the second son of the emperor, and he does not hesitate to demote him to the third son of the emperor, is there some thoughts in this? Please the Holy Judge! After all, master, you are in your prime and in the prime of life...... Wu Liangfu's dodgy eyes, combined with the swaying lights cast by the palace lamps held by the palace servants on both sides, in this dark palace city, it looks more and more gloomy.

"Diao Nu, you think too much this time, he is a baby who has only turned one year old...... Fu Lin originally wanted to "reprimand" Wu Liangfu with Yan Yuese and defend his son, but suddenly stopped talking - yes, if this second son of the emperor behaved like a normal one-year-old child, everything Wu Liangfu said was just nonsense, but he, but no! The self-denial demeanor, meticulous and thoughtful language, and the strategy of winning a thousand miles all show that he is indeed made in heaven, but is this a blessing or a curse for his throne? After all, I am in the prime of life, but I have been tired a lot in recent days, and I have not yet tasted the taste of "aiqing" that foreigners call as Tomafa......

[1] According to the official history, in 1644 (the seventeenth year of Chongzhen), Li Zicheng's army captured Beijing, and the Ming Dynasty fell. Li Zicheng burned the Forbidden City before retreating to Shaanxi, only the Wuying Palace, the Jianji Palace, the Yinghua Palace, the Nanxun Palace, the surrounding corner towers and the Huangji Gate were not burned, and the rest of the buildings were all destroyed. In the same year, Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty went to Beijing. After that, it took 14 years to basically restore the middle road building. In 1683 (the 22nd year of Kangxi), the reconstruction of the remaining destroyed buildings of the Forbidden City began, and it was basically completed in the 34th year of Kangxi.

Kangxi once praised his ink inscription with a long paragraph: "Huating Dong Qichang's calligraphy is very different. Its high and mellow style is popular among Chu Mo, which is beyond the reach of all families.
