Chapter Thirty-Seven—Meritorious Title of Lord Belle

On July 23, the twelfth year of Shunzhi, Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager Bulbutai was very happy today, and when the emperor came to ask for peace, she asked over and over again the detailed process of the prisoner offering at the gate yesterday at noon, especially when she heard that her little grandson had repeatedly invaded the Qing Dynasty Rakshasa to the bottom of the old man, and suddenly realized that her Mongolian golden family was the main owner of the small Moscow principality back then, and by the way, she also installed a "Tsar of the Son of Heaven" honorific title to the emperor, and she was very happy. Fu Lin was also in a very good mood, and secretly applauded his wise decision to appoint Xuan Ye.

"Emperor, you just said that Xiao Xuanye went out of the noon gate in a sedan chair?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile.

"Yes, Erchen looked at it above, and at first he said that this kid didn't know how to be polite, but fortunately, Wu Liangfu saw the clue, and said that in this way, the Rakshasa people could only raise their heads and reply, showing my royal prestige, haha! Xuan Ye is thoughtful! Fu Lin was also overjoyed, and praised his favorite ministers by the way.

"And what did he wear yesterday?" The Queen Mother did not continue to answer the topic, but suddenly asked.

"This ...... Xuan Ye was in his usual clothes that day. "Fu Lin understands, Huang Eniang wants to let herself give Xuan Ye a knighthood. After yesterday's test, Xiao Xuanye also lived up to his holy hopes, and staged a good show as he wished, Fulin has begun to dispell the idea that "Xuanye is just a puppet trained by the Queen Mother and raised her face to life", on that occasion, that strain, not to mention that the Queen Mother was not present, that is, she was present, and who could explain it clearly and clearly? It seems that this little prince of his own is indeed born strange. In this case, why not win him over to his side, for his own use, and the queen mother of the province is too close to him, but it seems that she has no relationship with him!

"Huang Eniang, Erchen is also thinking about giving Xuan Ye a knighthood, but he is still young, and Erchen is also in the prime of life, so he decided in a hurry, for fear of causing discussion among the government and the public......" Fulin told his truth.

The Queen Mother bowed her head and was silent. Yes, the emperor is not sick or sick, and suddenly appoints a little prince who is less than two years old as the prince and the prince, isn't this a curse to the emperor!

"But the ministers have a charter, that is, the two princes will be promoted together, so that the ministers will not be cranky." Fu Lin saw his mother bow her head and was silent, and suddenly there was a feeling of emotion, the kind of long-lost mother's thoughtfulness and single-minded maintenance of her son, so she didn't want the emperor to continue to be embarrassed, so she hurriedly said the following.

"Oh? It's a way, but the eldest son of the emperor, Fuquan, has not made any contributions, and the titles of these two princes should not be too high. The Empress Dowager also clearly noticed that Emperor Fulin suddenly showed her family affection today, and naturally felt grateful and took the initiative to cater to her.

"E-niang is right!" Fulin omitted the word "emperor".

"Son, it's been a long time since we've said something close to ourselves......" The Queen Mother was also moved.

"Eniang, in the past, it was my son who was not good, which made you angry and worried......"

"Don't say these stupid things, E-Niang knows that you have been wronged since you were a child, and E-Niang can't bear it...... The emperor can rest assured, this little prince Eniang will give you a good upbringing, and when they grow up in the future, they will be your right-hand man to help you expand your territory and prestige the world! "What the Queen Mother means is that she has absolutely no intention of helping the prince and threatening the throne!

"E-niang! ...... "It is true that a stone has fallen in Fulin's heart, even if it is a stone in a trance.

Two days later, the Zongren Mansion decided, the emperor allowed to play, the second son of the "Gongfeng" emperor Xuan Ye was "Dorobelle", and the eldest son of the "Enfeng" emperor Fuquan was also "Dorobelle", and the two princes wore the same Baylor crown [1], supplemental service [2], chariot sedan chair [3], 2500 taels of silver and 2500 taels of Lumi...... and published in the Emperor's Register. In view of the fact that the two princes are minors, there is no need to set up another mansion, and they still live separately in the five offices of Qiandong.

Anyone with a discerning eye understands that although the two princes were canonized as Dorobelle together, their weight was very different. Xuan Ye is a "meritorious title", he is awarded for meritorious service, and the title can be hereditary, that is to say, if Xuan Ye cannot inherit the unification in the future, his eldest son and eldest grandson can inherit the title of "Dorobelle" in the same era, the so-called "drought and flood harvest". This is the only special case other than the "Eight Iron Hat Kings"! It shows that the queen mother and the emperor both value and support this little prince! If he can't be the emperor, his descendants will all descend to the seventh rank of "not entering the eighth point [4] Zhenguo Gong", which is more than one level worse than Xuanye.

Such an ingenious arrangement was the idea of the Sect Commander of the Temporary Sect and the King of Anjun.

On the fifth day of December last year and the eighth day of May this year, Uncle Shuo Sai and Prince Zierharang of Shuo Zheng died one after another, and Yue Le naturally became the head of the clan, and he spoke and acted more vigorously, and he was more able to understand and realize the emperor's meaning!

As Fu Lin expected, the day before yesterday, outside the noon gate, I saw the second son of the emperor scolding Fang Xuan, angrily scolding the Rakshasa, raising the prestige of the country, and behaving in a measured manner. As for the emperor's eldest son, Fuquan, it's just a matter of staining it, and it's indispensable. There are really few people who are far-fetched to figure out whether the royal family has the intention of establishing a prince......

Hongyi really can't sit still in the East Second Institute. He deeply knew that relying only on a few words of "the heavenly kingdom and the small state of the Celestial Empire" was completely useless in the current international political environment of jealousy and pursuit of the "law of the jungle," and could only be used to fool the Chinese people who had no concept of "international" and "national." At present, the most important thing for Russia is to improve the military strength of the Qing Dynasty internally, and to maximize interests at the negotiating table externally! These two moves can only be done by oneself at present. Of course, with the title of Baylor, the space for oneself to act has greatly increased......

At the moment, there is one thing, Wang Yuele of Doroan County wants to invite Dorobelle Xiao Xuanye to come over to the house to "play". Of course, although he is the head of the clan today, this matter still has to be reported to the queen mother and the emperor. Naturally, the two superiors also agreed immediately, although the purpose was different: the Empress Dowager Burbutai believed that the proximity of the nobles of the clan to her grandson could lay a good foundation for the future; Emperor Fulin thought that his cousin was his right-hand man since he became in power, and letting him influence Xiao Xuanye more would play a subtle role. And Hongyi can't ask for it:

First, he knew that the later "Prince Heshuo Anhe" Yue Leke was different from his predecessors, he was a representative of the reformers in the early Qing Dynasty, fully supported a series of reforms of the Shunzhi Emperor, boldly used the Han people, and alleviated the contradictions with the Han landlord class. He also strongly advocated the cessation of land enclosure so that the people could engage in productive activities normally. If it weren't for the early death of Shunzhi and the appointment of the conservative "Four Auxiliary Ministers" as ministers of Gu Ming, the policy of blindly restoring Manchuria made the Qing Dynasty regress in the early years of Kangxi, and Yue Le would not have been depressed for a long time. Fortunately, Emperor Kangxi eradicated Aobai in time, and the Qing Dynasty did not continue to write the tragedy of the Yuan Dynasty. Although Kangxi once again reused this cousin after he became in power, the new version of Xuan Ye still wanted to try his best to avoid the situation that this early Qing reformist was idle for many years. Second, there is now a person waiting for him in the Anjun Palace, which is also known to Emperor Fulin.

Dorobelle Xuanye rode his newly equipped red sedan chair, and a group of several people, including Park and Sun, who were also riding in the sedan chair, were very excited and looking forward to the "Four Kings Fence [shílànr]" where the Anjun Palace's mansion was located.

After more than a year, this is the first time Hongyi has left the palace, and he came to the "Four Kings Fence [5]", that is, the later generation of the embassy complex in Dongjiaomin Lane. This street is just south of the Supreme People's Court of the People's Republic of China, and further west there is a police museum, where Hongyi and Xiao Ai used to hang out, where they read the "Centennial History of Dongjiaomin Lane" on the wall, and learned about the location and history of the British embassies, the French embassies, the American embassies, and the Russian embassies. And this Anjun Palace, which was later bought by the French Minister after the Second Opium War and became the French Legation, is at the junction of Dongjiaomin Lane and Taijichang Street. "Revisiting the old place", Hongyi lifted the curtains on the car from time to time, and quietly looked out, the figures of himself and Xiao Ai seemed to have been engraved on the pale blue courtyard walls on both sides and walked into the deep history......

"Xiao Ai, are you okay?" Hongyi couldn't help but feel sad again, fortunately he was sitting in the sedan chair, and Xiao Gongzi, who was guarding the sedan chair outside, didn't see this little Belle who was in tears for no reason again.

"Dorobelle, the second son of the emperor has arrived-" The right door of the Anjun Wangfu had already opened, and the Anjun Wang Yuele had already stood on the platform and bowed down to greet him. Although he is the fourth uncle in terms of seniority, the second son of the emperor in front of him is now the second son of the emperor, Xuanye, and he is a natural genius, and he is also deeply loved by Yue Le.

"Xuan Ye greets the fourth uncle!" Where is Hongyi willing to go to the front gate and accept Yue Le's greeting and worship with peace of mind? So he shouted "stop" in front of the bolted horse pile early, and got off the sedan chair by himself, and he climbed a few steps in a cute and shaky manner, but was quickly greeted by Yue Le from the steps.

"Haha, Lord Belle, you better let Mama Park wait, it's not in the way!" Yue Le said with concern, which meant that Hongyi could lie in Park's arms and enter the mansion with peace of mind.

"No, Fourth Uncle. My nephew is here to take a good look at the fourth uncle's mansion this time, and I don't want to miss every scene! Before coming, Huang Mama also specially instructed his nephew to take a good look at you and Fujin, and now he has to go and say goodbye to the fourth aunt! Hongyi stopped Park from stepping forward and said calmly.

"The slave has thanked the Queen Mother for her grace!" Yue Le hurriedly saluted in the direction of the north and the Forbidden City, and then took Xuan Ye's little hand and entered the mansion together.

According to the queen mother's intentions, Hongyi went to the inner house to meet his fourth aunt, the prince of Anjun, who was also the Borzigit clan with the queen mother. This Fu Jin is also a person who often goes to the palace, so he naturally knows very well that the queen mother's love for this little grandson is unusual, coupled with various rumors in the palace and the market, he is very attentive to Hongyi, and the delicious and delicious hospitality is non-stop. Hongyi also came to peace, and enjoyed it well, but he kept Park and Sun busy on the side, pouring water and peeling for a while.

"Fourth uncle, do you have any 'Western scenery' in your house for your nephew to see?" Hongyi saw that the number of etiquette was almost over, and he was ready to do business.

"Haha, Fourth Uncle really has a foreign scene here today, so please ask Lord Belle to go over and take a look?" Yue Le watched Xiao Xuanye feast just now, and thought that this little hairy boy had forgotten his business, so he was relieved after hearing this.

The two of them did not bring any entourage and entered the secret room of Yue Le's study.

Waiting here, one is the secretary of the military department, Kadahun, and the other is Bekotov, who was directly mentioned from the noon gate to the military department that day. At this time, Bekotov was no longer shackled, and was carefully reporting something to Kadahun through the translation of the general affairs. Seeing Yue Le and the second son of the emperor coming in, Bekotov bowed his head and bowed. Yue Le knew him as soon as he entered the Tongzhou camp, and this little prince, who seemed to be a baby, was as respectable as a god in his eyes.

It turned out that Hongyi had communicated with Yue Le long before the noon gate was sacrificed, and being invited to come today was also the result of discussions between the two.

Hongyi did not immediately deal with Bekotov, but very humbly invited Yue Le and Kadahun to the main seat respectively, and he "climbed" to the guest seat on Yue Le's right hand. Seeing Yue Le and Ka Dahun smiling and signaling that Baylor Xuanye could "preside" the trial, Hongyi no longer entrusted him.

"Bekotov, although you have made meritorious contributions to Stepanov this time and confessed to Stepanov's various crimes, you are also guilty of a great sin, and you cannot be exonerated easily. DID YOU KNOW? Hongyi said coldly. The last time the reigning Yugong discussed the disposal of the Rakshasa troops with Fulin and Yue Le, Hongyi put forward a suggestion that he wanted to use for me: Since it took a long time to finish the nest, if it is easily released, the gains outweigh the losses. Moreover, it took more than three months for 6,000 men and horses to besiege a small city of more than 400 people, which shows that this group of bandits is also extremely effective and not a rabble. If you can find one or two people who can use it, especially those who are good at using firearms, it is hard to ask for. After all, although Sha'er Huda is good at fighting, he has to ask for shotgunners from North Korea every time, which makes everyone, including Fu Lin, a little aggrieved. And this kind of talent, naturally the first choice of two bandit leaders, and focus on the "second bandit leader".

After kneeling down and listening to the repetition of the Russian story, Bekotov hurriedly kowtowed frequently: "Your Excellency, I was also forced to make a living and was forced to embark on this road. That Tsar ...... Oh, no, no, the Grand Duke of Moscow, who had long coveted the vast lands and abundant goods of the great Bogda Emperor and the Tsar of Heaven, sent expeditionary forces one after another to penetrate deep into the Amur River in the name of trade or expeditions...... Oh no, it's the Heilongjiang River Basin that is doing evil, and as a small captain, I dare not speak out! Please forgive me for the sake of the merciful Virgin Mary! ”

"Forgive you? Hmph, that's up to how useful you are! Hongyi's words were not at all like the righteous words outside the noon gate that day, and there were quite a few villains in the market, which made Yue Le and Kadahun frown slightly, but they couldn't say anything wrong. The confrontation between the two countries, if you blindly learn from Song Xianggong, I am afraid that you will end up with a "stupid pig [6]".

"I, I'm useful! Dear Royal Highness, I am familiar with all the fortresses and strongholds of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the Far East, and I know the number of personnel and firepower of each of their strongholds, and I can lead the Bogda army to destroy them! I, I can also repair muskets, and I can shoot very accurately; I...... I'll also ...... "Bekotov is trying to find his strengths, and if the little guy in the seat doesn't shout to stop, even Zuihou will say that he is very good at flirting with Russian prostitutes!"

"You can fix firearms?" Hongyi heard what he was interested in, and interrupted Bekotov's rambling in time. This Bekotov behaved like this, and Hongyi knew it. That day, Yue Le entered the prison cell, figured out the official position of the bandit leader, and went straight to Bekotov, and the sentence "the first evil must be done" frightened the expedition team leader, and he hurriedly confessed to their current supreme commander Stepanov, as well as the bad deeds of the previous bandit leaders. Yue Le struck while the iron was hot and said "Huaxia China, the land is vast, the people are outstanding, and everything is available", this kid immediately understood, saying that he was willing to convert to Huaxia and serve the imperial court! And he swore a poisonous oath on the spot to his Virgin Mary.

"Huh? Yes! Your Highness! I'm good at it! "At this time, Hongyi is saying that you will build airplanes? I guess he will also say, "I'm good at this"! But in fact, this Bekotov really did not lie. As a veteran gangster in St. Petersburg, he did come into contact with flintlock pistols relatively early, and in order to have a head start in a duel with his rival, he knew his handcuffs well, and he did it to the extent that he "didn't miss a shot".

"Lord Shangshu, Ming Andali said that this battle was indeed a loss of some Rakshasa muskets, and it seems that this is the case. Could you please bring this person back to the military headquarters and verify the truth of what he said? Hongyi motioned to his colleague that this sentence did not need to be translated, and turned to Kadahun.

"Lord Belle, the subordinates will do it!" Kadahun said that Bekotov would be sent back to the military prison.

"Slow down, adult!" Hongyi stopped Kadahun and continued to say to Bekotov: "Do you know what God's arrangement is? ”

This frightened Bekotov so much that he finally called on the God he admired the most, and hurriedly made a cross with his hands, and praised the Virgin Mary continuously.

"Lord Ben Belle will let you know that the destiny of heaven cannot be violated, and that tsar of yours is now an outcast of God!"

"The Great Messenger of God, the Virgin Mary, testifies that Becrev swears allegiance to you and to the Messenger of God!" As a devout Orthodox Christian, Bekotov swore a poisonous oath in the face of the messenger of God who was less than two years old.

"Are you willing to join my Qing Dynasty banner and be my slave?" Hongyi asked viciously.

"I do! My honorable master! ”

So, in the mansion of Wang Yuele of Anjun, there was soon a foreigner slave with a high nose and yellow hair, which was "fostered" by Dorobelle Xuanye here......
