Grabbing Sizhen's hand, Fu Lin's face was angry: "Can you explain?" ”

"Explain what?" Sizhen looked at him blankly: "The emperor suddenly summoned his courtiers over, what did he want to say?" ”

Thinking of what Sun Yanling said, Fu Lin took a deep breath, tried his best to calm himself, and pointed to Sizhen's hand: "What is this?" ”

What Fu Lin pointed to was an emerald bead bracelet on Sizhen's wrist.

The emerald of the excellent water color is worn on Sizhen's wrist, which is full of light like blue waves, and her skin is like jade.

Sizhen shook off Fulin's hand, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said: "This bracelet is a gift from the mother concubine on the day the courtier's daughter leaves home, what does the emperor mean by saying this?" ”

Fu Lin looked at her steadily, as if he wanted to see something: "Then Sun Yanling said that this is his engagement with you." ”

"Is that person's name Sun Yanling? Can you believe the words of the disciples? Why would the emperor believe the words of an outsider, but refuse to believe his courtier? The courtiers have never heard their father and mother say anything about betrothals, and this bracelet may have been what he watched that day. Sizhen replied categorically.

This bracelet has never left her body for a moment since the day she left home, and she was seen by the kid surnamed Sun that day, and it is not known.

Fulin breathed a sigh of relief.

He was a little sneering, "It's my demon barrier." As soon as I heard him say that he was the son of Sun Long, a general under your father's king Dingnan, and then I heard him talk about this bracelet, I believed him. It's the best to have nothing to do now. ”

Thinking that he didn't notice it for a while, he was coaxed by Sun Yanling, and Fu Lin said angrily: "I dare to deceive the king, I can't spare him." ”

Hearing that Sun Yanling is the son of his father's generals, Sizhen had compassion, she squatted down and pleaded with Fulin: "Your Majesty, that person may have heard what General Sun said, so he misunderstood, the courtiers still remember, the courtiers went to the barracks, and General Sun joked that he wanted to ask his father to ask the courtiers to go to his house to be his daughter-in-law, maybe so, there was a misunderstanding." ”

"General Sun is brave and good at fighting, he is a fierce general under the command of my father, and he is a sacrifice for the country, and I hope that the emperor will pity that Sun Yanling is the son of a hero and forgive him for Meng Lang this time."

"You intercede for Sun Yanling?" Fu Lin pursed his lips and looked at Sizhen's wrist: "Just because his father is under the command of King Dingnan, you will intercede for him?" Have you forgotten how rude he was to you that day? ”

"These are two different things." Sizhen shook his head and said: "Of course it was his fault for molesting the courtiers, but if he bullied the king for this, the courtiers thought, he Sun Yanling has ten heads, and he doesn't dare, the courtiers think, since he misunderstood that the courtiers had a relationship with him, perhaps, it was also a misunderstanding that day, and he forgot that the emperor was for General Sun's sake, don't worry about him." ”

"Don't care about his deceitful sin, or don't care about his disrespectful to you?"

Sizhen frowned, she had already said that these were two different things, why was the emperor still entangled?

If she cares, will the emperor cure Sun Yanling's crimes?

Thinking of Uncle Sun, who was handsome, burly, and often laughed, Sizhen thought, after all, he was the son of an old man, although he was rude, but the emperor could not blame him for this...... So, she bowed down and said softly: "For General Sun's sake, the courtiers don't want to worry about him, and ask the emperor not to blame him." ”

Fu Lin's eyes were a little bloody, he looked at Sizhen, took a step back, and took a few deep breaths before saying, "Kong Sizhen, you are really good." So magnanimous that he doesn't care about anything. ”

Sizhen heard the unhappiness in Fu Lin's tone, looked at him, and said for a while: "Your Majesty, in that battle, in the city of Guilin, there were rivers of blood, countless casualties, General Sun died defending the city, in the face of life and death, everything else is a trivial matter, and the courtiers can't care about it." The lives of the courtiers are equivalent to the soldiers, in exchange for their lives. ”

On that day, if it weren't for the desperate rescue of the guards, even if she went out of the city, she would have been captured like her brother, where would there be a good day today!

Thinking of these, Sizhen felt that the matter of Lingguang Temple was not worth mentioning.

Fu Lin looked at Sizhen playfully: "He treated you like that, and you actually interceded for him?" Aren't you afraid that I will misunderstand that you have a beginning and an end? ”

Sizhen looked at him frankly: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, so he naturally has the capacity to accommodate people, besides, what kind of person the courtiers are, the emperor has his own conclusion, I believe the emperor knows it." ”

When she said this, Fu Lin was embarrassed, and he stared deeply at Sizhen and said, "Okay, I believe in you, because that person is you, so I believe it." ”

Sizhen originally wanted to intercede with Fulin, wanted to meet Sun Yanling, and asked about Guilin, but at this time, he couldn't say anything.

She thought: If you leave the palace in the future, let's find another opportunity.

And Fu Lin saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, guessed her thoughts, and couldn't help but be a little jealous.

On that day, he summoned Sun Yanling into the palace, seeing that he was tall and fit, and his appearance was heroic, and then he heard him say that he was Sizhen's fiancée, and he couldn't help but feel a little indescribable.

Although Fulin is full of people and his body is relatively tall, after all, he is in the palace, pampered, and the whole person is still that kind of delicate and slender, compared with Sun Yanling, he is much burlier and looks more masculine, plus Sun Yanling's appearance is extremely good, even the palace maids around Fulin can't help but look secretly, he can't help but be suspicious.

But Si Zhen just said that he is the Son of Heaven and has the capacity to tolerate people, Fu Lin is not good to say anything, so he only waved his hand and said: "You go back, for the sake of General Sun, for the sake of your intercession for him today, I will not blame him." ”

When Sizhen knelt down, Fu Lin said meaningfully: "I think, Ah Zhen, you will not live up to my ...... Expectation. He coughed lightly, "I believe that if you have this generous heart, in the future, you will be able to lead the old department of King Dingnan and serve the Qing Dynasty." ”

A little unclear, four looked up in surprise: "Of course, the Kong family is deeply favored by the emperor, and the courtiers should do their best." I don't know what the emperor said, what is it? ”

Fu Lin refused to say: "I am right, when that day comes, I will tell you, you go back first." ”

After Sizhen left, Fulin fell into deep thought, remembering the conversation with the Queen Mother two days ago.

**

Two days ago, according to the custom, Fu Lin went to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother after the morning court.

After the concubines left, the Queen Mother left Fu Lin to eat.

After finishing the meal, Fulin was about to leave, but the Queen Mother said: "Your Majesty, the middle palace should not be empty for a long time, now that half a year has passed, what are your plans?" ”

During this time, the Queen Mother brought up this topic several times, and Fulin talked about him left and right, and now, he knows that it is not a way to escape anymore.

After a moment of silence, Fu Lin said: "My son obeys the will of the emperor's mother. ”

The Queen Mother took two sips of tea leisurely and looked at him calmly: "So, will you listen to whatever E-Niang says?" ”

Fu Lin lowered his head and did not answer.

The Queen Mother sighed lightly: "What does the emperor mean?" ”

Seeing that Fu Lin didn't speak, the Queen Mother said earnestly: "No matter what the emperor means, you have to say it, so that Eniang can know!" ”

Fu Lin hesitated a little, hesitated for a long time and said: "Queen Mother, since we entered the Qing Dynasty, the estrangement between Manchu and Han has gradually disappeared, and my son thinks, in this world, after all, there are many Han people, and besides, if we want to rule the world, we still have to rule the Han ......."

"Never!" Before Fu Lin finished speaking, the Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and interrupted him.

After the words were spoken, the Queen Mother seemed to realize that her son had been in power for several years, and he was no longer the little emperor who used to be able to preach at will, she suppressed the anger in her heart, and explained softly: "The emperor wants to unite the Manchu and Han, haven't we already set up a concubine of the Han people?" In the palace, there are several concubines who are Han Chinese, and the emperor goes to them with more concubines than Manchu and Meng, which is enough grace. ”

Seeing that Fu Lin was silent, she said bitterly: "Your Majesty, think about it, how many kings of the opposite sex are there in our Qing Dynasty?" The four kings of Kong, Wu, Geng, and Shang are all Han people, and the meaning of the unity of Manchu and Han is already known to the whole world, and there is no need to use the latter to appease the Han people in the world. E-Niang knew that you wanted the Han people to return to their hearts, at the beginning, you asked E-Niang to take care of the orphan daughter of King Dingnan, and E-Niang accepted Sizhen as a righteous daughter, this imperial grace, isn't it vast enough? ”

"The matter after the establishment is related to our Qing Dynasty for thousands of years, and we must not establish a Han girl. The emperor thinks about it, the queen was abolished last year, and the resentment in the heart of the Mongolian Forty-nine Banners has not disappeared, and now it is just taking advantage of the establishment of the queen to eliminate the estrangement with them, such a good opportunity, the emperor must grasp it well......"

"Your Majesty, our Qing Dynasty has not long been founded, the foundation is unstable, the Horqin Grassland is the place where the eagle takes off, the mother of a country, the wife of the Son of Heaven, you can't come out of it, you have to think about the country!"

Although he had long known that the ancestral family law would not allow him to establish a Han woman, Fu Lin still wanted to give it a try, but what he got was still this result, and he couldn't help but be a little frustrated.

can only let Sizhen be a concubine, he feels wronged Sizhen.

Thomas Fa had said that God had made Eve out of Adam's rib, that a man should love his wife as if he were himself, and that he should find a woman he loved the most to be his queen.

Only Sizhen made him feel like this.

He didn't know if it was love, but he wanted to give Sizhen the best, let her stand with him, climb high and look into the distance, and see the country he governs.

He only wanted to be by his side, standing with her.

Now it seems that this path is no longer viable.

After being resolutely rejected by the Queen Mother, Fu Lin said: "Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother has to come out of Horqin, please ask the Queen Mother for permission, and the son will set up another Han concubine......"

"No way!" The Queen Mother didn't wait for Fulin to say Sizhen's name before she interrupted him.

"When you set up a concubine, you promised to pass the mother, and then you will not accept the Han girl as a concubine, a man's husband, and stand in the world, you should be a man of all kinds, and you will have no regrets, how can you change the order every day?"

Seeing that Fulin's face turned pale, the Queen Mother slowed down: "Your Majesty, you have grown up now, Eniang shouldn't have interfered with you, but think about it, if you really accept her, what should Guangxi do?" Now, the Dingfan is controlled in her name, if she is accepted as a concubine, the Dingfan will have to set up another vassal king, so wouldn't it be more difficult for the emperor to cut the domain? ”
