Chapter 12 - Grudge against Wu Liangfu

During the interrogation of the people of Jingren Palace, the Queen Mother saw that Fu Lin was bored, so she reminded him to comfort Concubine Kang. Although Fu Lin was 10,000 unhappy, the order of the Queen Mother could not be disobeyed, so he had to sit in front of Tong Jiashi again, but his thoughts returned to that time last year-

On June 12, the 10th year of Shunzhi, Wu Sizang [1]** Lama thanked the Qing court for the title and paid tribute to ten Tibetan horses to enter the Beijing Division. Fu Lin was very happy and went into the inner court to tell his mother. It happened that a group of concubines were greeting the Empress Dowager under the leadership of the Borzigit clan, who was still the queen at that time, and when they learned about this, they were all overjoyed, so the empress dowager took a group of concubines to the palace [2] to see the emperor's own hidden horses. Fulin galloped on horseback, and the concubines cheered, but in fact, they were all girls of the same age as Fulin, and innocence and liveliness were in nature. Fulin was seen on a whim by many "Hou ~ Gong ~ Beauty", and after getting off the horse, he was still unsatisfied, so he asked who could get on the horse and try his skills. Now the girls are all reserved, some are not good at this technique, some are too thin-skinned, and some Mongolian girls are also eager to try, but their bodies are "red", which is really inconvenient. So the atmosphere was a little depressing. At this moment, Tong Jia's started to play and said that he was willing to give it a try. Tong Jiashi was originally the daughter of the Han Army's Blue Banner Gushan Ezhen, the third-class Jingqi Nihafan Tong Tulai, and the Han Army's Yellow Flag people. Although he is a Han Chinese, he is not like the Han daughter in Guannei who can only play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has followed his father in and out of the army since he was a child, and has also learned to ride a bow and horse. At this time, seeing that no one answered, he had already finished the "moon red" [3] for more than half a month, and his body was refreshed, so he volunteered. Fu Lin was overjoyed, personally helped her on the horse, at first a little worried that she would fall off the horse, and later saw that she was well-ridden, and his heart was overjoyed. Originally, this Tibetan horse was slightly shorter than the Mongolian horse, durable and strong, able to pass unhindered on the plateau, riding and carrying in the mountains, agile and steady, not to mention in the plains, it was really suitable for a little girl like Tong Jiashi to ride. The queen mother was also happy when she saw it, and immediately rewarded a lot of things.

That night, the emperor on a whim was fortunate to be in the palace of Yugong, who was fourteen years old and "sassy and heroic". After the event, the complacent Fulin lay beside Tong Jia's and made an impassioned statement: When Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty entered Tibet, Tang and Tibet were harmonious, but they failed to truly unify. I entered the Dingding Central Plains, all the people are the masters, Mongolia and Tibet have all surrendered, the first thing is "Manchu and Han are one", the world is one family. Your ancestors of the Tong Jia clan are the Han people who returned to my Qing Dynasty outside the border, and today, I am also a Han family on your body! …… In the following month, Fulin took advantage of the prosperity to turn over Tong Jia's "green head card" several times [4], and turned Tong Jia's from a small permanent presence to a nobleman. Sure enough, the small seed of the second prince who was full of the "trinity" of Mongolia and Han was bred in the womb of Tong Jia's family......

Hongyi, who turned into a baby, didn't know that history was such a "coincidence":

After 360 years, it was just over eight months before I first entered Gyeongin Palace (August 2013) and was born through time (April 2014). In another time and space, Tong Jia's "October pregnancy [5]", from the time she learned that she was pregnant (July of the tenth year of Shunzhi) to the birth of the prince (March of the eleventh year of Shunzhi), it happened to be more than eight months. In other words, when Tong Jiashi knew that she was pregnant and reported to the Queen Mother, it was the day when Hongyi began to communicate with Jingren Palace. (In response to readers, I said that the "introduction" in my previous chapter was too long because there was too much foreshadowing!) Wronged to death. )

And Fulin also has to make a big fuss about the problems caused by "planting" the baby Hongyi. When the Ministry of Internal Affairs[6] reported that the Empress Dowager had ordered the renovation of Jingren Palace in order to celebrate the marriage of her concubine Princess Heshuo, the boss of Fulin was not happy, not only because he ordered the suspension of all construction projects in the palace on the fifth day of the seventh month more than a month ago,[7] and even his regular residence Qianqing Palace was postponed and rebuilt in order to save money to fight against Nanming.

asked the Internal Affairs Office to check the records of what month and day they did this, but they didn't record it. Fu Lin was furious and ordered these useless minions to be dealt with strictly. Fortunately, I remembered that I was happy because of the ** lama's last expression of gratitude to the imperial court, and I was fortunate to be with Tong Jia's on the same day, so I ordered someone to record it.

Seeing that the emperor was annoyed, Wu Liangfu, the eunuch next to him, took the opportunity to speak, saying that the Internal Affairs Office inherited the old system before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and it was a group of clothed servants who led the eunuchs to run errands for their masters. This clothed servant is not a eunuch, he has many dependents, and he is often distracted by mundane matters, and most of them are the disciples of the Manchurian clan, and he often eats inside and out. Unlike eunuchs, who have no descendants and no background, they will only serve the emperor wholeheartedly. He also suggested that Wan Sui Ye should follow the "Twenty-four Yamen" of the old system of the Ming Dynasty, and let the clothed servants only do errands and not have power. Fu Lin greatly appreciated Wu Liangfu's good policy, so he sent a message to the inner court and ordered to set up a deacon in the palace (mainly in charge of the emperor's daily life, and by the way, record the emperor's romantic accounts). It also imitated the old system of the Ming Dynasty, set up thirteen yamen such as the ceremonial supervisor [8], served the emperor and the royal family as an internal court institution, and took the eunuch Wu Liangfu as the general manager, living in the fourth grade. At the same time as the restoration of the Thirteen Yamen, the Internal Affairs Office was abolished, and the old Ming palace eunuchs who were originally expelled from the palace were all instructed by Wu Liangfu to be included in the palace one after another, and it is said that there were as many as 1,000 people. Wu Liangfu and other major eunuchs, relying on the emperor's favor and trust in him, openly befriended foreign ministers, seized power and accepted bribes, which became a major disaster. It also aroused the vigilance and dissatisfaction of the Manchu and Han ministers and even the empress dowager......

The complacent thoughts were finally disturbed by the noise outside the palace, and Fu Lin in Jingren Palace had no choice but to appease Tong Jia's family lightly, and then returned to the throne to accompany the queen mother, thinking about the current situation: Now it seems that the newly established Inner Thirteen Yamen, which has been established for less than a year, is still not very effective in how to deal with the matter of "Jingren Palace Chery"! After I go back, I have to remind Wu Liangfu!

And the Empress Dowager listened to Wu Liangfu's report on the results of the inquiry, and was a little upset, and asked casually: "You are the chief manager of the emperor's inner thirteen yamen, you should come up with a charter!" ”

Wu Liangfu just yelled and reprimanded the minions up and down the Jingren Palace, as if he was scolding the new Concubine Kang who was lying on the bed, and he was still unfinished and secretly enjoyed, but he didn't hear the dissatisfaction in the Queen Mother's words, so he flickered and replied implicitly: "The slave thinks that these palace people should be strictly interrogated, Jingren Palace is obviously renovated, why is there a missing object for no reason, and it fell into the hands of the young master who just gave birth for no reason......

"For no reason?! What is plain and unprovoked?! Do you want to say that in order to please the mourning family and the emperor, the subordinates of this Jingren Palace actually deceived the monarch and fabricated strange things to seek the ascension of the chicken and dog to heaven?! Isn't it true that if I love the Xinjue Luo family, can't I recruit the love of the Emperor of Heaven and descend to auspiciousness?! Do you still want to question the auspicious image that the mourning family said in Cining Palace back then?! You daring minion! The Queen Mother was suddenly angry, and while reprimanding loudly, her body trembled back and forth!

"E-Niang is angry, E-Niang is angry!" Seeing this, Fu Lin hurriedly stepped forward to support the Queen Mother, and turned around helplessly, echoing but "reprimanding" Wu Liangfu as if he couldn't bear it:

"Bold minion, angry with the Queen Mother, you are a capital crime!"

When the Queen Mother reprimanded, Wu Liangfu had already knelt down obediently, but he was a little unconvinced, just listening quietly. He knew in his heart that Emperor Fulin had ascended the throne since he was a child, but there was not a day when he could be happy in front of the queen mother's knees, and it was all that Dolgon who was in the way. Therefore, since he was six years old, he has been inseparable from this master, eating, drinking, sleeping, and taking care of all of them. For more than ten years, when there were no outsiders, Fulin was obedient to his words and respected his elders.

The most important thing is that it is precisely because of this that Fulin's young heart has long bought the seeds of hatred for Dolgon and complaining about the Queen Mother. With the gradual stabilization of the political situation after the pro-government, the gap between mother and son has become deeper and deeper, and in the past two years, it has even reached the point where they look at each other unpleasantly. Especially on the matter of the abolition of the queen, although the queen mother finally agreed, she was resentful. Now she scolded herself a few words, as long as the emperor Fulin did not express his position, it would be foolproof.

didn't think about it, the emperor also turned around and scolded himself at this time, which frightened Wu Liangfu and quickly knelt on the ground, shouting "The slave should die!" ”

Fu Lin didn't speak anymore, he didn't mean to stop, he just looked at Wu Liangfu with a pale face, and he hated iron for not being steel! Originally, if you doubt, you can doubt it, why do you say it so bluntly, and what kind of "plain and unprovoked" words are used! Just now, my old lady just talked about my birth, and you stupid slave still wants to anger Shengyan! Stupid, stupid minion!

Just when everyone didn't know how to haode, Su Mala came out to judge. She walked up to Sun, gently stroked Xiao Hongyi, turned around and said: "The queen mother, master, the little master was born with the forbidden royal thing in his hand, and he is still in this Jingren Palace, it is indeed the auspicious Rui from the sky and my Daqing!" "This is to cater to the Queen Mother, and it will naturally get the praise of the old sister.

"Moreover, the Salary Division has also stated that this bronze piece was made up after Concubine Kang was pregnant, and it is also a statement that she will do her best to do her errand." This sentence is to give the emperor and Wu Liangfu enough face, and Fulin is very useful, and Wu Liangfu is also grateful, and he knows more and more clearly that he must be careful in the future for this Su Mala. As for Weishenme, who lost the copper pieces twice, Su Mala didn't want to remind him, and others didn't care about it.

"Moreover, Jingren Palace lost this object, and the master was born in Concubine Kang's bedroom. When the master was born, there were no outsiders, and the servant of the stable woman would never dare or deceive. What's more, the birthmark on his palm can't be faked! Holding the royal thing in the hand is born in the royal family, this is the auspicious fortune of the Qing Dynasty for a long time and forever! Slave and maid congratulations to the queen mother, congratulations to the master! Su Mala said and hugged Hongyi in Sun's arms, and bowed his head all over again. This is tantamount to a final decision, and no one dares to say that the Qing Dynasty cannot last for a long time and forever! So everyone knelt down and shouted, long live! Needless to say, Concubine Kang, who was lying on the bed, thanked Aunt Su Mala, and even the little prince's nipple Sun, was also grateful and shouted the most. In just one hour, she devoted all her unfulfilled love for her early son to Hongyi, treating it as her own. Whoever is not in the slightest disadvantage to this little baby at this time, she is really willing to fight for her life. It was precisely her husband's immediate boss who suggested setting up a thirteen yamen, so that her husband would bow his head to these eunuchs like a grandson all day long, and endure the ridicule and harassment of people who are neither men nor women, and the sinister intentions towards the master just now deserve death!

"I saw that you were not pleasing to the eye, Wu Liangfu, you are a castration! You're not a man anymore, but you're not even a woman! We women can still give birth to children and breastfeed, you know how to tell right and wrong, bully others, and do some disgusting ugly things! I actually want to arrange my master today, and you will look good sooner or later! Sun cursed silently in his heart, and glanced at Wu Liangfu viciously. At this time, this eunuch was relieved, and he was also shouting long live in the mountains.

The baby Hongyi lying in Su Mala's arms has long been staring because of "being bowed down", but from this magnificent collective kneeling scene, he has drawn a basic judgment: he and his own bronze pieces, as well as his own reborn mother, should be safe. And the middle-aged eunuch who made the Empress Dowager angry just now, and the young emperor are obviously wearing a pair of pants, it is estimated that they are not good at their peers, so they should pay more attention and be careful in the future!

A big case that seemed to deceive the monarch was finally resolved into auspicious fortune from heaven, and ended successfully in an edict that rejoiced both inside and outside, and the monarch and the ministers. When Cao Eryu finished worshipping and slowly withdrew outside the hall, he "coincidentally" passed in front of Sun, and whispered two words in Chinese: "The little master has become!" Watch out for Wu Liangfu! Hongyi, who had been returned to Sun, heard these two sentences clearly and clearly, looked up and saw the relief in Sun's eyes, and planted a thought in his heart: "This family is really usable!" Then, he stared fiercely at the eunuch Wu Liangfu, who was standing beside the emperor again and making a swaggering posture:

Dead eunuch, on the first day of my master's arrival, you will stumble on me! No matter what kind of intentions you have, you and the master's Liangzi can be regarded as a conclusion!

[1] At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, most of present-day Tibet was called Wusizang.

[2] In the eighth year of Yongzheng (1730), it was rebuilt and renamed "Arrow Pavilion". It was later that after the important minister "gave the Forbidden City to ride a horse" into the inner city, he arrived at the place where the arrow pavilion had to dismount.

[3] The ancients called menstruation moon red.

[4] The emperor of the Qing Dynasty used a green head card when selecting a draft girl and summoning a concubine. When the Qing court selects a show girl, the sign indicates the woman's flag name, patronymic name, her age, whether she has a scar, etc. The primary election is called "leaving a sign" and waiting for the second election. The unsuccessful ones are called "branding", and they can marry on their own. In addition, when the emperor summons the concubine every night, he also relies on turning the green head card to decide. That is, at the emperor's dinner, the concubines all handed over the green card, and the emperor decided to summon whoever was lucky that night, so he turned over the sign and left it......

[5] Common sense, October pregnancy is actually more than nine months, commonly known as October. Popularize physiological hygiene knowledge for children and teenagers, haha!

[6] Not a clerical error, it was still the Ministry of Internal Affairs at that time! It was established before the customs clearance.

[7] The historical records do have this and the time is correct.

[8] According to the official history, the thirteen yamen should have been established on June 29, the tenth year of Shunzhi, and there was a delay of two months here, in order to meet the needs of the plot. Please forgive me!
