Long before the concubine, on the seventh day of the seventh month, the Qing court made a decision to implement the "Liaoyang Recruitment Civil Regulations" throughout the country, greatly encouraging the civil and military officials in the Liaoyang area to recruit people to reclaim the famine, and promulgated the reward regulations: those who recruit 100 people will be given the knowledge of the county by the civil service, and the military will be awarded to the garrison; Those with less than 100 and more than 60 will be awarded the same state and state judgment, and the general of the military will be awarded 1,000; Those with less than 50 people will be awarded the county clerk, the chief bookkeeper, and the general secretary of the martial arts. If there are more than one recruit, one level will be added for every 100.

In order to speed up the smooth progress of the reclamation work, Fulin took advantage of the completion of the renovation of the Qianqing Palace, and announced in the form of "issuing an edict to the world": The wasteland of the provinces has been merged into the division, that is, according to the three-year example, the extensive reclamation, if there are solid households that can be opened to more than 2,000 acres, according to the Liaoyang civil regulations, the amount is hired. All the officials and citizens who applied for the recruitment were allowed to cultivate as they plowed, and each household was given an ox, plough tools, grain seeds, etc.

In this way, not only did the barbarian rebellion of the Dingvassal resolve invisibly, but Liaoyang also recuperated.

It's just that Sun Yanling, who made suggestions on this matter, did not mention anything because he could not be rewarded, and became an unknown behind-the-scenes hero.

In August, Sizhen knew that this matter was related to Sun Yanling, and also knew that because he entered the palace to intercede, Fulin agreed not to appoint himself as a concubine.

Why did the emperor postpone her and Sun Yanling's marriage indefinitely? Sizhen didn't understand, she was already sixteen years old, and she was already old last year, even among the Han people, this age is also the age to be married.

She went to ask Fu Lin about this matter, and it happened that Fu Lin rejected the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious day to ask for the concubine on August 19.

Hearing Sizhen's question, Fulin said lightly: "Do you want to get married so much, do you want to leave this Forbidden City as soon as possible and leave me?" ”

"Your Majesty, you once said that let the courtiers take charge of the affairs of the southern domain, if the courtiers become adults and the elder brother does not return, you will want the courtiers to return to the Dingfan and guard the place of the southern domain for you, have you forgotten?" Sizhen reminded him softly.

Looking at Sizhen fixedly, Fu Lin said softly: "I remember, I also told you that the Manjiang family, the monarch and the ministers are of the same heart. ”

"Then why is the emperor still ......?"

Without waiting for Sizhen to finish speaking, Fu Lin pressed her lips lightly with his index finger: "No why, it's just that I want to see you for a few more years, keep you for a few more years, let you look at me, how to love another woman, how to love her in thousands of ways, perhaps, you will regret it, regret that you saw me wrong, regret not answering me...... Ah Zhen, although I am the Son of Heaven, I can also love only one person for the rest of my life......"

Fu Lin sighed, he felt very frustrated, there was an indescribable frustration, and he said in a muffled voice: "I know, you don't care, I'm with someone else, you don't care, I accept someone else as a concubine, you don't care...... I want to keep you and see how ruthless and hard your heart is! Do you know, the Ministry of Rites asked me to say that I chose August 19 as the auspicious day to be the concubine, and I rejected it, and I always thought that maybe one day, you changed your mind and said to me, you agreed to enter the palace......"

The finger he pressed on Sizhen's lips turned into a hand and touched Sizhen's cheek.

turned his face sideways, and Sizhen's face was flushed, but he still said coldly: "If the emperor is sincere to his courtiers, please follow the wishes of his courtiers and stop being entangled like this." ”

Fu Lin's hand slid down, feeling the fragrant and slippery feeling on his fingertips, he lost his mind slightly, and then said coldly: "I have thought about you enough, you don't want to enter the palace as a concubine, I have relied on you, you want to marry Sun Yanling, and I have also relied on you, can't you rely on me once, accompany me for a few more years, and stay in the palace for a few more years?" ”

His miserable appearance made Sizhen unable to say anything to refuse, in fact, she didn't dare to refuse, in case Fu Lin Longyan was furious and suddenly changed her mind, it would be miserable.

Ying Ying was blessed, and Sizhen bowed: "The emperor loves him, and the courtiers dare not bear it." But please understand that in the hearts of the courtiers, when the emperor is like an elder brother, since the emperor thinks that he can be happy by keeping his courtiers by his side, the courtiers will stay and serve the queen mother and the emperor. It's just that the courtiers have already passed the court, and it is not appropriate to stay in the palace again, so please ask the emperor to allow the courtiers to leave the palace and open the palace......"

"Nope." Fu Lin flatly refused, "Although you are not far away from opening a mansion in the capital, I can't see you sooner or later, what is the difference between that and marrying you off?" I want you to stay in the palace.

He pinched Sizhen's chin and gritted his teeth and said, "Although, due to various circumstances, I can't force you, so as not to provoke a change in the feudal domain, but I just left you in the palace, let you watch me love other women, and let you see how the glory I originally intended to give you was given to another woman." ”

Sizhen was shocked, could it be said that Fulin's promise to Sun Yanling was just a delaying tactic? Listening to what he meant, he actually wanted to leave himself in the palace for a long time?!

Seeing her frightened face, Fu Lin laughed: "What? Now that you know you're scared? As long as you say that you know that you are wrong, I will immediately call someone to draft a decree and admit you into the palace. Otherwise, you just watch me and others happy, and you, your youth passes away year by year, guess what, in a few years, you Fanghua is not there, will Sun Yanling still be so affectionate to you? Do you dare to bet? Kong Sizhen, I ask you for the last time today, do you agree to be my concubine, or would you rather stay in the palace like this until one day he marries another woman, or do you hate you? ”

Sizhen was desperate for a while: "Your Majesty, are you trying to consume all the hearts that your courtiers once had for you?" ”

Fu Lin touched his lips with his fingers, made a "shhhhh At this point, I don't care if you like me or not, many times, I feel that as long as I give it wholeheartedly, it is enough, if I can get a return, it doesn't matter, anyway, you are in the palace, you can't run out of the palm of my hand. What, are you afraid of him and so on? Are you afraid that he can't wait? In this way, I have given you five years, and if five years are up, and you still insist, I will fulfill you, and I will never change it, what do you say? ”

Sizhen bit her lip and looked at Fulin resolutely: "Is the emperor's words true?" ”

"Seriously, I am the Son of Heaven, and I am a man of my word." Fu Lin smiled at the corner of his lips, "Actually, you can only agree to it or not, don't you?" Maybe one day I will get tired of you, and I will let you out of the palace sooner. ”

At this time, Fulin actually still had expectations, in case Kong Tingxun rescued and Dingfan had a new king of Dingnan, then the court would not need Sizhen to contain those old departments of Kong Youde, and he would not be afraid that the other three feudatories would have different intentions because of this, and he would be able to justifiably include Sizhen in the palace.

If Sizhen is now forcibly accepted as a concubine, and the Dingvan is handed over to the supervisor such as Lian Guoan or Li Ruchun, they are not as loyal to the imperial court as Sizhen, and they are deeply favored by the emperor, at that time, it will be equivalent to the Dingvat has no control, whether it is Lian Guoan or Li Ruchun, it is inevitable to sit big, if the Dingfan regains its former strength, when the imperial court withdraws the feudal domain in the future, there will be an additional layer of concern.

For the sake of the overall situation, he can't force Sizhen, he must give up, but as the Son of Heaven, how willing is Fulin.

He thought, Sizhen used to like herself, but now it is just because the Han woman has been trained and ordained since she was a child, if it drags on, one day Sun Yanling will propose to dissolve the marriage contract on her own, she will understand, who is the one who is Zhenheng to her.

If five years later, they haven't changed their minds.

He willingly fulfilled them.

Sizhen stretched out her hand and motioned for Fulin to high-five her: "The courtiers believe in the emperor, please high-five the emperor and the courtiers as an oath." ”

Putting down her hand, Sizhen said softly: "The courtiers heard that Wuyunzhu is pregnant, and if the emperor wants to make her a concubine, he needs to do so as soon as possible, after all, the dragon heir will be born outside the palace, but it will be criticized." ”

Fu Lin smiled bitterly: "You really will stab me in the heart." ”

Sizhen smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty, the matter between you and Wuyunzhu was not arranged by the courtiers, the emperor was willing to risk the world's disapproval for her, which shows that you like her, now that Prince Xiang has passed away, the obstacles between you no longer exist, why do you want to push it on the heads of the courtiers?" ”

"Everyone knows that I liked her because she looked a little like you and learned about Manchu ......and Han culture."

"Oh, it turns out that the way to love someone is to find someone to replace her." Sizhen smiled coldly: "This kind of love, the courtiers can't stand it." Please ask the emperor to set up a new concubine as soon as possible and welcome the newlyweds into the palace. ”

"Good! Good! Kong Sizhen, in this world, that is, you, dare to speak to me like this, that is, you dare to treat my sincerity as a donkey's liver and lungs! Fu Lin gritted his teeth, "I'll let you see how much I can love her, even if it's your stand-in." ”

On August 25, Wuyunzhu was registered as a "virtuous concubine", only more than a month, and on September 29, Fulin sent an edict to the Ministry of Rites: "Before I was ordered by the Queen Mother, Dong Eshi, the daughter of the Minister of the Interior, was established as a virtuous concubine." On the 28th of this month, the Empress Dowager issued an edict to the Queen Mother, the ancient system, the second time of the middle palace, there was the imperial concubine Shouxiang internal governance. Because of the careful and simple choice, the wise and good, and those who are not above the Dong E clan should be established as the imperial concubine. The Ministry of Erbu immediately inspected the ceremony, and on the sixth day of the first month of December, the auspicious date was canonized. ”

After only one month in the palace, she was promoted from a virtuous concubine to an imperial concubine, and such a promotion speed is also very rare in history.

Not only that, on the sixth day of December, Fulin also held a very grand ceremony for Concubine Dong E's imperial concubine, and issued an edict of amnesty to the world in accordance with the great gift of canonizing the queen. In the nearly 300-year history of the Qing Dynasty, it is unique to have an amnesty for the world because of the canonization of the imperial concubine.

All of a sudden, the grace of the imperial concubine Wuyunzhu has reached the extreme, and in the harem, how much favor she gets, how much jealousy and resentment she provokes.

Not only did the concubines in the harem dislike Wuyunzhu, but because of the death of her son Bogol, the concubine was also very resentful of Wuyunzhu.
