Volume 2 Chapter 75

Tang Ruowang deserves to be named Shunzhi's pro-seal

"Teacher Tongxuan", no matter what topic he talks about, he can talk about the Tao, especially in astronomy and firearms has excellent insight, and also has a little dabbling in Western medicine, he can speak English, Spanish, Latin and other European languages, talking about the customs and habits of various countries, geography and people, all of this makes me deeply impressed, he is simply a moving living dictionary, as if any question can be answered from him, no wonder the Queen Mother and Shunzhi have great respect for him.

Listening to John Tang talk about the difficulties and dangers of the journey and all kinds of interesting things, Shunzhi and I listened to the 'essence' and listened, until the fire wheel in the sky sank in the west, and the stomach was hungry, then I was shocked to realize that the time was not early, looking at Tang Ruowang's little 'spirit' was not good, Shunzhi blamed himself: "I talked with Marfa until late at night last night, and today I took Marfa to accompany me and the queen for a day, I must be tired, I won't stay for dinner, Marfa hurry back and rest." Tang Ruowang stretched his waist and said with a smile: "The minister is very happy today, I didn't expect the queen to know so much about the Western world, some customs and customs, the minister is unheard of, alas, the world is so big, how can it be done alone." Saying that, he stood up, bowed slightly, and said: "I'm old, I'm always tired, so Wechen will leave first, and I will talk to my mother every day another day." I hurriedly got up, watched him go out, and when I turned around, I saw Shunzhi looking at me with a smile on his chin.

I asked, somewhat embarrassed, "What are you laughing at?" Shunzhi walked up behind me and hugged me, and said softly, "You, you, when can you bring me less surprise?" How did you know something that you didn't even know about? Leaning into his arms, I said, "I only know those things from books." He blew gently into my ear and smiled, "What you say is much more interesting than what is written in the book." "Uh...... Of course.

Inquiries from the TV network are always more interesting than books. Even if I don't deliberately understand it, it is more than enough to talk about some Western places of interest and customs.

Where did you just talk about it? Columbus discovered the New World! Next time, tell him about African cannibals, he loves to listen.

My ears were tingling and itching from him. He craned his neck to avoid his lips. But he chased me all over the house, and finally pressed me on top of the royal case, and kissed my 'lips' without saying a word.

"Don't ......" I couldn't help but moan, and if I continued, I was afraid that I couldn't help but be in the imperial study

"***" him. Shunji gasped and lifted up slightly, his fingers reaching for my neckline. I wanted to refuse, but my body was weak and had no strength under his burning eyes, and as soon as the buttons were unfastened, I heard someone cough softly.

It's Chang Xi, I pushed Shunzhi away with a red face, Shunzhi glared at Chang Xi dissatisfied, Chang Xi was standing in the corner with his back to us at this time, his head hanging very low, probably knowing that he had broken someone

"Good thing". Chang Xi glanced back secretly, swallowed his saliva quietly, and said with great difficulty: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother just sent a message to invite the mother to have dinner in Cining Palace at night." Shunzhi looked at me reluctantly, I fastened the buckle between the collar, lowered my head and said, "That'...... I went first. ”

"I'll go with you." Saying that Shunzhi was about to get up, Chang Xi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, ......" said and looked at me in embarrassment.

It seems that this is the Queen Mother, please ask me to meet alone, I stretched out my hand to straighten Shunzhi's clothes, and said angrily: "Don't go, have you finished today's recital?" Shunzhi looked at me, blinked and didn't speak, he pulled Tang Ruowang to talk after the morning court, how could there be time to criticize the chapter.

I put my body close to him, wrapped my arms around his neck and said in a greasy voice: "Do you have to slack off when you just praise you as a famous king?" Shunzhi 'kissed' me lightly, and said in a muffled voice: "After approving the chapter, I will go to Kunning Palace to find you." I blushed, nodded slightly, and then walked out of the imperial study and walked in the direction of Cining Palace.

Arrived at Cining Palace, although it was not yet dinner time, the Queen Mother had prepared a table of delicious food, bursts of aroma attracted my index finger, please sit next to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother smiled lovingly: "I heard that you and the emperor have no use for lunch, hungry, right?" Use it. "I didn't think I had been chatting just now, but now I'm really hungry, I smiled at the Queen Mother, and then unceremoniously ate a large piece.

After my efforts, my stomach finally didn't feel empty, and then I noticed that the Queen Mother just looked at me with a smile and didn't eat together.

I 'rubbed' my nose and said embarrassedly: "Why doesn't the emperor eat it?" ”

"I'm not hungry yet," the Queen Mother smiled, took my hand and patted it gently: "I haven't congratulated you yet." Seeing the emperor's thoughtfulness towards you, even I, an old woman, will be jealous. "My face

"Teng" is red, where is he considerate? Every day tires people half to death. The Queen Mother smiled: "I heard Luo Yan say what happened last night, although it is a little inappropriate for the emperor to do this, it is also a direct and effective way." "Wrong?

I looked at the Queen Mother puzzled, saying that Shunzhi allowed me

"You don't have to ask for a decree, isn't it appropriate to set the concubine to stay"? The Queen Mother looked at me blankly and sighed: "Hui'er, you don't know much about the things in this palace, and sending the concubines out of the palace is not like sending ***, if you are not careful, the front will turn the sky upside down." The Queen Mother stood up, paced two steps, and said: "If something happens between 'women' in the harem, it is by their own scheming, the winner is the king, and no one can control it, but once you get out of the harem, I am afraid that there will be more people in charge." ”

"The emperor said...... Those adults in the court? The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Yes, they would rather their 'daughters' die in the harem than see them driven out alive, which is a shame." The queen's words and deeds represent the intentions of the royal family, if you humiliate them, they will transfer all their resentment to the royal family, the first is the emperor, the monarch and the ministers are separated, how can the country be stable? "I looked at the Queen Mother in a daze, that is to say, once I exercise this power, will it bring a lot of trouble to Shunzhi?

In that case, why did Shunzhi 'hand' this power into my hands? He wouldn't fail to understand what's at stake.

The Queen Mother saw my confusion, and then said: "The emperor has his own reasons for doing this. It is also the reason why it is inappropriate to say it, but it can effectively protect you. Because no concubine is bold enough to test whether the queen will use this edict. "It dawned on me.

The purpose of this edict given to me by Shunzhi is not to let me really drive people out of the palace, but to let me have one more trump card in my hand to deter the concubines, but this trump card must not be played.

It's like writing a blank check, you can show it off everywhere, you can make people envy and jealous of you, but you can't take out the money inside.

The Queen Mother said: "If you want everyone to submit, it is far from enough to rely on a verbal message, although Concubine Tong was reprimanded by the emperor yesterday, it does not affect her authoritative position in the hearts of everyone at all, coupled with Dong E's intentional avoidance, the real power of the harem is always in the hands of Concubine Tong." "I was so complacent that I had won the battle.

Who knows it's not like that at all.

"In the past few years, the war has subsided, and the Qing Dynasty no longer needs steppe wolves to defend the country for itself as before, and the conflict between the Manchu and Mongolian nobles has intensified day by day, almost to the point of breaking out." The Queen Mother looked at me with burning eyes, and said in a solemn tone: "As the queen, you are not alone, you are related to the people of Horqin, and the position of the 'Mongolian' ancient grassland in the emperor's heart, so you can't be quiet." "Is that so?

Although I tried my best to avoid it, could I not escape the whirlpool of this struggle? Just because I am the princess of the grassland and the queen of the Qing Dynasty, I am asked to follow the old path of the queen mother and take on the important task of connecting the Manchurian and Mongolian nations without hesitation.

I lowered my head and sighed softly, "Erchen understands." ”

"If you were still the same Hui'er as before, I wouldn't pin my hopes on you." The Queen Mother said slowly: "I know, you don't have the slightest interest in these things, but the current situation is not optimistic, and ......" The Queen Mother groaned for a moment and said: "The emperor is always the emperor, and the emperor's favor will eventually disappear one day, how can you not plan for the future?" "Gone in smoke!

My heart tightened slightly, no, it should ...... No way?

"Have you ever spoken these words to Concubine Jing?" I wonder if every queen can't live according to her own choice.

The Queen Mother was slightly stunned, and was stunned for a while before shaking her head gently: "I just couldn't bear to 'force' her at the beginning, and it was up to her 'sex' to come, and in the end I made a 'chicken' egg fight." She never saw clearly, the emperor was not the emperor of her alone, but the emperor of the entire Qing Dynasty. Even if the emperor only has her in his heart, it is impossible for her to be monopolized! "Facing the Queen Mother's slightly warning gaze, my brain is like a thousand bells ringing in unison, buzzing, impossible!

It is impossible to monopolize! The queen mother's meaning is very obvious, she wants to use Concubine Jing's matter to wake me up, so that I don't want to continue to be stupid with the illusions in my heart.

The Queen Mother looked at my pale face, slowed down and sighed: "The triennial show 'female' election is not only to enrich the harem for the royal family and continue the heirs, but also the best way for us to win over all forces, the connection between the harem and the court is closer than you think, there are so many concubines in the harem, who the emperor favors and alienates is far from being as simple as it seems." Listening to the words of the Queen Mother, my heart is far from being usable

The word "surprised" describes that the emperor favored the concubine, not just by his own preferences, but by weighing all factors.

What the court needs to rely on, even if the emperor hates it, he can't be too mean to the concubines they choose.

Is this the sorrow of the emperor? There are many constraints on even choosing the 'female' people around him, but what about the 'female' people around the emperor?

Maybe they are just a bunch of chess pieces with different 'flowers' in the eyes of the emperor. These chess pieces continue to fight, continue to kill, and the one who wins in the end will be picked up by a big hand and transferred to another game, while the rest of the losers either choose to follow the winner and continue to fight, or choose to be forgotten by everyone, and will never see the light of day again for the rest of their lives.

That name is one of the defeats that year, right?

"Hesheri Qingru," I looked at the Queen Mother,

"Who is it?" If I lose, will I live in the memories of a few people like her? The Queen Mother was surprised and said, "How do you know her?" ”

"I heard Concubine Tong mention it once yesterday." The Queen Mother sighed with emotion: "She was almost promoted to concubine back then, but unfortunately, she was too young after all." "What does this mean?

Is Concubine Jin still related to age?

"Like a concubine?" I asked lightly.

"No, yes." The Queen Mother turned to look at me: "She is Sony's 'daughter'." ”

"What?" I asked incredulously, "Why?" "Don't say that Sony is directly under the Zhenghuang banner of the Son of Heaven, it is an ordinary show 'girl' who enters the palace, and the minimum will be registered as a permanent one, like this draft, Wuyunzhu and Wanru Regardless of it for the time being, the more powerful people in the family are all named nobles, and Nala is directly sealed as a concubine.

promised, most of them were promoted by ***. Unless, too, she made a mistake like the two Chang Zai last time, and was reduced to a promise.

But it's still unlikely, Shunzhi has always relied on Sony, and he will never make such a move easily. The Queen Mother seemed to fall into a memory, and said faintly: "Her appearance, talent, and mind are all the best choices, her family background is prominent, and the emperor likes it, but in the end, she is not good at chess, because her heart is not ruthless enough." If her heart is ruthless enough, then she will be the one sitting in Xianfu Palace today. ”
