At the end of September, Fu Lin, who had already been disfigured, was clamoring to cut his hair and become a monk, no matter how loudly the queen mother reprimanded or cried and persuaded, the concubines begged bitterly, he refused to change his mind, and even let him have always been close and trusted, the monk Mao Xisen shaved him, under the willful coercion of the emperor, with a certain vanity that the emperor is about to become his junior brother, Yin Xisen did so.

The news of the emperor's home was like a thunderbolt from the sky, shocking the courtiers and the concubines of the harem.

It's amazing how such a ridiculous thing could happen to the king of a country! Courtiers, concubines, and even the queen mother went to ask Fu Lin to return to the palace and deal with state affairs, but he didn't see any of them, saying that he was already a monk, cutting off three thousand troubles, and not touching the dust of the world, no matter the people or things in the red dust, and he had nothing to do with outsiders.

There was a mess in the imperial city, and later, Sizhen gave the Queen Mother an idea and summoned Mao Xisen's master to Beijing to solve the matter.

On October 15, Mao Xisen's master, Yulin Xiu, sent an edict to Beijing to stop the matter. Jiang is still old and spicy, Yulinxiu didn't persuade Fulin at all, and directly asked people to pile firewood outside the hall, put Maoxisen on it, and said that if the emperor didn't return to the vulgar, he would let the disciples burn Maoxisen on the spot.

Fulin is in a dilemma.

If he doesn't return to the world, he will watch his senior brother Mao Xisen be burned to death, and if he returns to the world, he will not be able to become a monk again.

In the end, Fu Lin, who had already shaved his hair, returned to the vulgar on the spot, and Mao Xisen put down the firewood from the erection to avoid the fate of being burned to death, and left Jingnan that month.

Although he is no longer a monk, Fu Lin's spirit has never been able to cheer up, not only has he lost interest in national affairs, but he is also a concubine in the harem, and he has not been fortunate for many days. He is like a monk living in the Qianqing Palace, he only reads books and participates in Zen all day long, except for Sizhen can also say a few words to him, he seems to have no nostalgia for everything in the world.

Even for Sizhen, Fulin no longer mentions the love between men and women, he no longer has the heart of longing and possession as before, but has fellowship with Sizhen like confidants, chatting with the world. It is calculated that Sizhen will be full of filial piety for her brother, and she has personally selected an auspicious day for her to marry in June of the following year.

Fulin sometimes smiled and sighed at Sizhen, it was he who delayed her, so that she was almost twenty years old and had not yet married, and became the old girl in the palace, but Sizhen comforted him calmly and gently as before, saying that he had been in the palace for nine years, and he was filial piety to his parents and brothers, and had nothing to do with the emperor.

After Wuyunzhu died, Sizhen was almost the only person who could have a long talk with Fulin, and the Queen Mother said that she was still living in the palace and did not let her go out of the palace to open the mansion.

In December, there was another unfortunate event in the palace, the fifth daughter of the emperor born to Concubine Ba died of pox plague, and she was not yet seven years old when she died (shang, died of minors). Fortunately, Concubine Wu Muktu gave birth to an eighth elder brother, and Tana, who was thirteen years old, was named Princess Heshuo and married Shang Zhilong, the seventh son of King Shang Kexi of Pingnan, which added a little joy to the palace.

On the second day of the new year, the second day of the first lunar month, Fu Lin did not stay in the palace, and he arranged for Wu Liangfu to become a monk, so that Wu Liangfu could escape the charge of being executed for accepting bribes the year before.

Because his wish to become a monk has not been fulfilled, on this day, Fu Linyu drove to the Minzhong Temple to watch Wu Liangfu's ordination ceremony in person, as a result, he was injured by excessive mourning during this time, and he suffered a cool breeze outside, and he had a high fever on the night he returned to the palace.

In the New Year, the new door gods and couplets on the doors of each hall were taken down, the lanterns and decorations were put away, and even the daily meals were replaced with vegetarian food, and the concubines were copying scriptures and praying for the emperor, and the palace people, even the cats and dogs in the palace, walked quietly.

It's just a wind chill, can you commit such a great enemy? Someone whispered that the emperor was actually infected with the pox epidemic, of course, if this was heard, he would be beaten to death by the palm.

However, the more forbidden the news, the faster it spreads.

On the same day, the Empress Dowager issued a decree to pardon all criminals in the capital except for the "heinous death" crimes, and ordered the people not to fry beans, not to light lamps, not to pour water, so as not to offend the pox god Niangniang.

This confirms the previous rumor that the emperor was not infected with wind and cold that day, but contracted pox plague. The pox epidemic is a lifelong disease, which makes people talk about tiger discoloration, and it is even more dangerous for the sick and weak to suffer from it. For a while, everyone in the palace was silent, talking about the tiger's color change!

As soon as the news came out, the entire Forbidden City was like a dark cloud, gloomy and breathless.

In the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, the earth dragon is burning hot, and the room is as warm as spring, but the people inside are as cold as ice.

The people who are waiting here have all had the pox epidemic, and the concubines, elder brothers, and Geges who have not had the pox epidemic have even been exempted from asking for peace, and the queen mother has also exempted the internal and external women from asking for peace, so as not to spread the pox epidemic when people gather.

Fu Lin was lying on the bed, his face was burning red, and the Queen Mother sat on the side worriedly, watching the palace people take warm handkerchiefs to wipe Fu Lin's hands and face to cool down.

The Queen Mother saw that Fu Lin opened her eyes slightly, her eyes were slightly moist, and she settled down and said: "Your Majesty, as you said before, it is not appropriate for you to choose a successor to the throne among your imperial brothers, this throne is inherited from father to son, and you are not without a prince, how can there be any reason to let others succeed to the throne?" The mourning family has asked Tom Mafa what he means, and he said that among all the princes, only the third elder brother has already had a pox epidemic. Xuan Ye's kid is smart, diligent and studious, loves to read and is good at arching horses, and when you were a child, it is quite similar, you also like him very much on weekdays, so how about him? Speaking of which, among the princes, his status as a concubine is the most noble, which is very suitable! ”

Fu Lin moved his mouth, and said weakly for a long time: "According to what the queen mother and Tom Mafa said, let's establish the third elder brother Xuanye." ”

The big thing was solved, and the Queen Mother looked at Fu Lin, who was already thin and out of shape, and was speechless for a while.

Looking at the faint white hair on the side of the Queen Mother's sideburns, the corners of Fu Lin's mouth tugged and said: "Huang Eniang, I'm afraid my son can't serve you anymore!" Twenty-four years of nurturing and teaching, let the child repay in the next life. After his son leaves, I only hope that the emperor will take care of his body, don't think of his son, take Xuan Ye well, let him not be so willful as his son, and open up my Qing Dynasty for all generations! ”

The Queen Mother held back tears and comforted: "The decision of Xuanye is just to give an explanation to the courtiers, where is the step that the emperor said?" In two days, you will be fine, don't say these disheartening words! ”

"The son is also willing to be able to bear the knee and do his filial piety for the emperor's mother for a hundred years, but I'm afraid it won't work...... Please forgive the queen mother for her unfilial piety! Fu Lin had a calm face.

The Queen Mother hid her face and cried, and Su Mala hurriedly helped the Queen Mother to the side, so as not to make her too hurt.

Fu Lin glanced at the weeping queen, Concubine Duanshun, Concubine Kang and others at the foot of the bed, and said softly: "In the future, it will depend on you to support the emperor's mother and assist the young master......

The concubines knelt down in front of the bed and wept with tears: "Your Majesty ......"

Concubine Jing, who was crying silently on the side, suddenly shouted with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, you take the concubine with you, even if you ignore the concubine, don't love the concubine, snub the concubine, abolish the concubine, and the concubine has no complaints...... The concubine is willing to accompany the emperor......"

Although Concubine Jing didn't cry, her heartbroken appearance made anyone who saw it move to move.

As soon as I heard Concubine Jing say this, voices rang out in the hall one after another: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, take your concubines with you......"

Fu Lin trembled and stretched out his hand to hold Concubine Jing's hand: "When I was young, I was stubborn and mistook you, after I went on a big trip, you should leave the palace, go back to the Horqin grassland, go to see the blue sky and white clouds, go to ride horses and shoot arrows, like when you were not in the palace before, if you were so happy, live a free life on behalf of me......

"Your Majesty—" Concubine Jing buried her face in his palm and cried, tears raining down.

"Ah Zhen-" Fu Lin's eyes turned to Kong Sizhen, who was standing with his head hanging on the side, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Don't feel sorry for me, you are a strong girl, don't blame me for delaying you to this ...... because of my own selfish thoughts."

Sizhen shook his head, shed tears, took two steps forward, and choked up: "Brother Emperor, your sincerity to Ah Zhen, Ah Zhen has always remembered in his heart, 'Manchu and Han family', do you remember?" Stay in this imperial city for a few more years, Ah Zhen is happy, don't blame yourself anymore! ”

The smile on Fu Lin's face became more and more gentle: "You, finally willing to call me brother!" Well, that's good! The Manchu and Han families, you have to remember that in the future, you will assist Xuanye and guard the ...... of the Dingfan"

Sizhen nodded, with a resolute look on her face: "The emperor can rest assured, Ah Zhen will be filial to your mother on your behalf, take care of the third elder brother, guard the fixed domain, and don't teach the thief to succeed!" ”

Fulin nodded. He looked at the concubines who were still crying, and said softly, "You guys, all go down." I have something to say to the courtiers. ”

The queen, Concubine Jing and others hugged each other and cried, saluted, and withdrew.

On the seventh night of the first lunar month, the twenty-four-year-old young Son of Heaven passed away.

After Fu Linyan drove, Maleji and the guard Jia Bujia "held the edict to inform the empress dowager, that is, to declare the kings, the ministers and guards of the princes of Belle Beizi". The edict appointed the eight-year-old third son Xuan Ye as the crown prince, succeeded to the throne, and appointed Sony, Suke Saha, Kubilong, and Ao Bai as auxiliary ministers.

"I am a good person, and I am the heir of Piji, and I have been in the company for eighteen years. Since the pro-government, the discipline and law, the employment of administration, can not look up to the law Taizu, Taizong Mo Lie, follow the care, and the present, and gradually get used to the Han customs, in the simple old system, there are more and more every day, so that the national governance is not perfect, the people's livelihood is not successful, is my sin; Since I was weak, I met Emperor Taizong's guests, and I was taught and raised, but the Queen Mother was kind and nurtured, and she was extremely reckless, and she was not paid, and she tended to inherit it day and night, and hoped to do her filial piety. Today's unfortunate son will not end, and the sincerity will not end, and it is my sin ......"

Such an edict is actually a criminal edict, listing a total of 14 sins of Fulin, mainly failing to abide by the ancestral system and gradually becoming infected with Han customs, reusing Han officials to cause the Manchu ministers to have no intention of doing anything, and blaming himself for his alienation from the friendship of the kings and Baylor, and his lack of friendship; blamed himself for not trusting the Manchurian ministers, and instead appointed Han officials; blamed him for being too much at the funeral of the queen Wuyunzhu, and couldn't stop the love with courtesy; blamed him for appointing eunuchs and causing him to cheat for personal gain...... Fourteen counts, almost completely negating all the important decisions made by Fulin in this life.

Whether this edict came from Fulin's original intention is impossible to verify, but the old tears of the courtiers were full of tears, and the Hanchen were terrified, and Wang Xi, the main drafter of the edict, was tight-lipped about it afterwards, and never even said a word to the children in the family, let alone passed on to future generations.

On April 17, the cremation ceremony was held by Maoxi Xingsen, who entered Beijing again. Mao Xisen's verse cloud: "Sakya Nirvana, people and heaven are enlightened, the first emperor is cremated, and it goes further." Will the general public? In front of the Shouhuang Palace, Guanma Road. ”

After cremation, Fulin's treasure palace (urn) was buried in Zunhua Ma Lanyu, which is a filial piety tomb. The temple number is the ancestor, the name of the emperor, the later generations have accumulated respect, to the first year of Qianlong, the respect is added to the twenty-two words: the body of the heaven and the long and the unification of the United States to build the extremely heroic and wise Qin Wen Xianwu great virtue Honggong to the benevolent and pure filial piety Emperor Zhang.

The merits and demerits of the young Tianzi's life have dissipated with the wind, and Kong Sizhen is about to start her new life.
