Chapter 328: Imperial Power
Yu'er stood outside the Yongshou Palace, waiting for Ah Zhe to return, and after waiting for a long time, a lantern finally approached in the distance, and soon the petite figure ran towards her.
"Don't run, be careful of tripping." Da Yu'er told worriedly, until the delicate child crashed into her arms.
She covered her daughter's hand and sneered: "I went to Horqin, where the wind is strong, there are many horses, and there will be wolves on the grassland. ”
"I was in a hurry to run when I saw E-Niang, I must be well-behaved if I leave E-Niang, and I have to take care of my sisters for you, I am better than my sisters." Ah Zhe has a sweet mouth, coaxing her mother to be happy, and Yu'er knows that her children will be liked anywhere.
The mother and daughter entered the house, and Su Mala brought the palace maid to serve and wash, eliminating the trivialities of the past, and quickly ordered everyone to retreat, just to give Gege more time to spend with his daughter.
So soon, all the daughters were married, and the first emperor once promised to marry his daughters in a beautiful way, but the three daughters were all sent to them by the master alone.
Su Mala closed the door and glanced at the courtyard of the Yongshou Palace, this palace with a single courtyard is indeed magnificent and spacious, where is it like in the past under the Phoenix Tower, talking loudly is afraid of lying on the opposite side of the window and eavesdropping.
She walked under the eaves, ordered the little eunuch to take off the lanterns and blow them out, and said: "The courtyard of Cining Palace should be spacious, and how many lanterns should be hung under the eaves in the future." ”
The people who can stay in the Yongshou Palace on errands are all diligent people, and they can't say nice things to coax Su Mala, and the little father-in-law holding the lantern said honestly: "The former Ming was afraid of spending candle oil, so he didn't let the lamp light at night, and he couldn't see it in the palace when it was dark, and they said that even the thief refused to come in." Even in the palace of the queen mother's concubines, they are tightly controlled and do not light lamps, so the servants don't know how many lanterns to order in Cining Palace. ”
Su Mala sneered: "Don't underestimate these candles, do you know how much silver the entire Forbidden City will cost?" We can't use it indiscriminately, we have to open up sources and reduce expenditure for the emperor, so that it can last for a long time. ”
Having said that, Su Mala still cares about the people on duty at night, whether the clothes are warm enough, and whether they want to burn the charcoal basin.
In the past two years, Su Mala has used her own methods to subdue batch after batch of loyal palace people in the palace, and now as long as she is in the Yongshou Palace, she can know what is happening in the entire Forbidden City, and even Zhezhe praises her.
It's a pity that it's hard to stretch your hand out again.
Although the regent no longer separates the queen mother from the government, he still looks at it very closely inside and out, but Yu'er told Su Mala not to worry, the days are long and slow, they are already much stronger than when they first came.
Early the next morning, Ah Zhe was leaving, rushing to the road in front of the ice and snow, and Yu'er and Zhezhe were also relieved.
But Ah Zhe has a soft temperament, not as chic as Yatu when he got married, and when he kowtows to his mother, he can't stop crying.
When Dolgon was sending off his niece outside the palace gate, he saw that the child's eyes were red and swollen, and he turned back step by step, and said distressedly: "Uncle Fourteen will take you back in a few days and send an errand to your forehead in the capital, okay?" ”
Ah Zhe shook his head tearfully: "Uncle Fourteen, I'm fine." ”
The carriage departed mightily, and Dolgon picked up the crying Dongor, and Qizig said: "I don't care, crying like this and bringing it in, isn't it provoking Yu'er's tears, tell the next person to send it back, I will go to the Yongshou Palace to sit." ”
But when Qi Qige arrived at Yongshou Palace, Yu'er had already left and gone to the study, and she came to the study again, Da Yu'er was standing in front of the table to write the word Dafu, and when she saw Qi Qige, she smiled: "Do you want it?" I wrote the word Fu. ”
"Not unusual." Ziziger sat down on the couch beside him, holding the stove to warm his hands, and looked at her disapprovingly.
"When you're rare, don't ask me for it." Da Yu'er said, after writing one, she lifted another piece of red paper, touched the bronzing on it, and sighed, "It's really extravagant, put the gold in the paper." ”
"I heard Dorgon say that you need to be frugal and make him dismiss." "You're not happy, are you?" ”
"How can I be unhappy after such a good life, but I am a little worried." Yu'er said, "There are few people in the palace now, but there will be more people in the future, if everyone is so extravagant, how much silver will it cost?" ”
"I know, go back and discuss with him, and set the rules for the palace again." "Don't get him wrong," said Zizig, "he also wants you and your aunt to live comfortably." ”
Da Yu'er looked at Zizig, she couldn't tell what Qizige's attitude was towards the matter between her and Dolgon, whether she really didn't know, or pretended not to know, whether she lied to them, or deceived herself. So she no longer speculates that if she turns her face one day, she will turn her face happily, holding back for a lifetime, and they are both wronged by each other.
But right now, if their sisters can kiss for a day, it is a day, except for Su Mala in this life, the one who has accompanied her the longest is Qi Qige.
"The lives of the two of us, whether it is a man, a child, or a status, if we rub it together and then divide it in half, it will be perfect." Da Yu'er lowered her head and continued to write, "Sometimes, I really wish that Huang Taiji was the same as Dorgon, just a Prince of Baylor, and the two of us each took care of our own small family, watching the play and drinking tea, and disciplining the children. ”
Qi Qige held his cheeks, fantasizing about such a situation, but said unceremoniously: "Then I will not be with you for a while, I will be good with Fujin in the palace." Besides, if the first emperor is just a Baylor master, then the Baylor Mansion is also the aunt's decision, and it will not be your turn. ”
Yu'er was disdainful: "They all said that they rubbed it, didn't they rub it off my aunt?" There is no aunt, just me. ”
Qi Qige sighed: "You are amazing, and you dare to rub your aunt off." ”
Yu'er raised her eyes to look at her, but said, "You want to be good with Fujin in the palace, not with me." So you used to be good with me, just because I was a woman of Huang Taiji? ”
Zizig said unabashedly: "Otherwise? ”
Da Yu'er shook the brush lightly, and the ink flew out and sprinkled Qi Qige's body, Qi Qige was dumbfounded, and immediately shouted after relieving himself: "My new robe, you guy." ”
Outside, Su Mala heard the movement and hurriedly ran in, but saw the Queen Mother and Rui Wang Fujin frolicking with each other, and painted each other's big faces.
And after frolicking in the house for a while, the two snuggled together to breathe, and Zizig said: "I'm really old, I'm only a few years old, and I always feel short of breath and no energy these days, and the years are not forgiving." ”
"You've been worrying about Dolgon all your life, and after twenty years and forty years of others, can you not be tired?" Da Yu'er gently stroked Qi Qige's sideburns, "Sister, let's both live a good life." ”
"It's been a long time since I've heard you call me sister." Qi Qige smiled, "Yu'er, you said that the two of us, who can live longer?" ”
"I don't know, live well, we have earned such a rich life in this life, we can't be blind in vain." Da Yu'er gently wiped the ink off Qi Qige's face, having said that, she already had the answer in her heart.
At the end of the year and on Chinese New Year's Eve, winter turned to spring, and in the spring of the fourth year of Shunzhi, Prince Zheng Zierharang was cut down for crime, and the power position of several auxiliary ministers was repeatedly weakened, which was almost exactly the same as when Emperor Taiji and several major Baylors sat in the south together.
But Huang Taiji is the Great Khan, Dolgon is not the emperor, he is an auxiliary minister who has elevated himself to the same status as Huang Taiji in the past, but the civil and military ministers are dissatisfied with this, dare not be angry, Dolgon has long been powerful, no one can match.
In April, the "Great Qing Law" was made, and the law was strict and the children of the Eight Banners enclosed land without authorization, although this matter was mentioned one after another since the entry into the customs that year, but it took three years before it was finally explicitly banned.
This decree affected the interests of everyone, and naturally caused an uproar in the Eight Banners, and even Dolgon had to be tired of coping, or persuading or admonishing, or imposing heavy punishments, and making trouble for a while.
In the palace, Yu'er patiently explained to Fulin the origin of the Manchurian Eight Banners system, and Fulin listened very carefully.
The emperor is much smarter than when he was in Shengjing, and he can listen to these tedious and boring things patiently, and occasionally talk to Yu'er, but Yu'er warned him not to mention it to the ministers, and he and his mother talked about the government in the harem.
Yu'er said to Fulin: "Now that our Qing Dynasty has the world, there are far more Han people than Manchu people, and the original Eight Banners system is no longer suitable for governing a new country. The Qing Dynasty wants to establish a new centralized power and weaken the influence of the Eight Banners on the government and military, this road is very long, but Eniang very much hopes that Fu Lin can complete this road for the future generations of descendants. ”
Fu Lin looked at his mother nervously: "Will E-Niang be with me?" ”
Da Yu'er smiled: "E-Niang can only follow you on the side, the path that the emperor walks, only the emperor can walk." (Updated 19:00)
