Chapter 384: The Future Empress
Dolgon is gone, and Yu'er will take Fulin to officially start fighting wits and courage with a group of ministers, and she has already thought about it countless times in her heart, how to win people's hearts and minds, and how to eliminate all forces that threaten the imperial power.
Now that Azig has been transferred from house arrest to captivity, the assassination of Dolgon is all on his head, and he wants to let the two white flags fight in a nest, so that they don't rush the spearhead at the emperor.
But the things in the court are changing rapidly, and the road after that is really going to be walked can only be done with a distant goal, not a single step, and not slackened for a moment.
The world that was once curious and longed for has now become everything that you have to face every day when you open your eyes, only to know the hardships and how difficult the road to the emperor is.
even realized how Huang Taiji took the time to face her "provocations" again and again, and how much he loved his sister.
Ao Bai and Sonny came to see the Queen Mother, both of them kowtowed, and after ups and downs, their career and future are all given by the Queen Mother.
Yu'er was very kind, and ordered Su Mala to give a seat and tea, mentioning Fulin's pro-government in the coming year, Yu'er knew the intention of these two people, they must have hoped that they could listen to the government and assist the emperor for a few more years.
"These words, the two adults will forget them when they leave Cining Palace."
When Sonny said and implored the Queen Mother to listen to the government to stabilize the government, Yu'er smiled lightly and refused.
"The emperor is the first emperor after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, although the people of the Han people hate me for destroying their homes in the Qing Dynasty, but I believe that most people still expect a stable and peaceful life if they have a choice, then the court and the emperor will return such days to the people as soon as possible. But if the imperial court, first the regent controls the government, and then the queen mother hangs the curtain to listen to the government, in their opinion, the emperor will never grow up, and the people will be uneasy if they have no master. β
Sonny got up and said, "What the Queen Mother said is very true, and the ministers are ignorant. β
"Lord Suo and Lord Ao, how can they be ignorant, I understand, you are worried that the emperor will not succeed in the government and some auxiliary ministers will emerge, it is better for me to listen to the government and avoid this trouble." Yu'er smiled kindly, invited them to continue to sit down, and said, "Among the Eight Banners, there is only Prince Zheng who can compete with Dolgon, but Prince Zheng is over half a hundred years old, and he has accumulated years of hard work and injury, so he has already asked me to resign, saying that he can't take on this important responsibility, and naturally there is no other person who is suitable." β
Sonny and Ao Bai looked at each other, and without waiting for them to speak, Yu'er smiled first: "If I remember correctly, Master Suo will be fifty too." β
"Thank you for the love of the Queen Mother, and I still remember the birthday of the minister." Sonny bowed in thanks, but then straightened his back, "Queen Mother, the minister feels that he is not old." β
"Yes, Shengjing's feng shui nourishes people, Master Suo has been to the imperial tomb for so many years, and he has become more and more born." Yu'er was generous, and said to Aobai, "It's Lord Ao, who has experienced wind and frost outside and worked hard." β
Ao Bai and the Queen Mother met their eyes, and their hearts couldn't help but tremble.
Yu'er said calmly: "Lord Ao, you have been wronged, and you have forgotten all about the past." From now on, together with Lord Suo Fan and others, we will jointly support the emperor, we have finally obtained such a good country, and we must make him stronger and richer. The emperor's strength alone is not enough, it all depends on you. β
Yu'er got up and said to the two: "I'm here, thank you two first." β
Sonny and Ao Bai were shocked and dissuaded, saying that they couldn't afford the Queen Mother's gift.
After some politeness, everything that should be said was finished, and they didn't dare to bother the Queen Mother any more, so the two of them said goodbye together.
Walking out of Cining Palace, Ao Bai thoughtfully, he understood that the assassination of Dolgon has disappeared since then, if he does not forget, the Queen Mother will let him forget, and when the Queen Mother makes a move, he will also come to an end.
"Bow down." Sony said on the side, "Look, Fan Wencheng is right, the two of us are here for nothing." β
Ao Bai returned to his senses and responded: "It's in vain, but my heart is also steady, and the Queen Mother is a bright and upright woman." Lord Suo, I don't understand the government and politics, but since the emperor and the queen mother have entrusted me with important tasks, I have the responsibility to ask Lord Suo for more guidance in the future. β
In Cining Palace, Yu'er watched the little palace maids take away the tea cups, got up and slowly paced under the eaves, the gray-blue sky was still low, but the snow in Beijing just didn't come.
But no matter what, the meal still has to be eaten, Chinese New Year's Eve still has to be passed, New Year's Day is not exempt, the emperor wants to be pro-government, everything must be auspicious.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor issued an order in the morning to posthumously crown Dolgon's concubine Borzigit as Empress Jingxiao Zhonggongyi, and the four characters "Jingxiao Zhonggong" are the nicknames that Dorgon himself chose for his wife after the death of Zizig last year, and he is also the first prince to posthumously crown his wife as a concubine.
Now that Fulin has posthumously honored his aunt as empress, Zizig has finally become empress, and Dorgon has finally become emperor, but they must not have thought that this would be the end.
After the decree was promulgated in the morning, a family banquet was held in the Cining Palace at night, and several princes such as Jierharang and Yue Le and their families were invited, and the princes of Horqin, Mongolia, Taiji, also attended.
The family banquet is very simple, there is no singing and dancing, and there are no firecrackers and fireworks, but the queen mother said hard work to everyone and ate a home-cooked meal together.
But at the family banquet, the Queen Mother also said that when the dawn is the eighth year of Shunzhi, everything should have a new beginning.
Meng Guqing followed his father into the palace to enjoy the banquet, although it was just a simple meal, but the rules were as big as the sky, as soon as someone spoke, he had to stop the chopsticks, and the dishes in front of him were removed after a few bites, and the palace maids and eunuchs kept shuttling around, making her such a girl who was used to being at ease on the grassland was very restrained.
During the banquet, under the pretext of relieving his hands, the little palace maid led him away, but the night was dark, and the accompanying palace maid was negligent, so she lost the person.
Meng Guqing didn't mean to run away alone, she was unfamiliar with the place, and the Forbidden City was big, so she didn't dare to run around, so she walked in the direction of the light, thinking that she could always walk back to the banquet.
On the way, I met a group of palace people hurrying by with a food box charcoal stove, the sky was dark and it was not real, they just thought it was a palace maid, shouting: "Hurry up and get out of the way, don't get in the way." β
What kind of temper did Meng Guqing have, and he immediately became angry and scolded: "What are you guys, dare to tell me to dodge?" β
The palace people were also anxious, and shouted without waiting for clarity: "What about the food we sent to Balya Fujin, delaying the little brother in Fujin's stomach, can you afford it?" β
The person on the side said: "Don't talk nonsense, it's important to send food to Fujin, the food is going to be cold." β
They passed like a gust of wind, and Meng Guqing stood in place in a daze, his cheeks bulging with anger, and he wrapped the silk handkerchief in his hand around his fingers.
Over the years, she didn't have a clear and definite impression of her future husband Fulin, and it wasn't until this time that she really got close and took a closer look at her fiancΓ©.
Compared with the teenagers on the grassland, Fulin can be said to be fine-skinned and tender, his skin is so white, Meng Guqing was stunned at first sight.
Fu Lin is tall, although he is slender and long, and the dragon robe is worn on his body, the emperor is the emperor, and his innate nobility is dazzling.
At this meeting, Meng Guqing really realized that she was going to marry the emperor soon, and she was going to wear this bright dragon robe and become the most noble woman in the world.
The hateful thing is that Fulin actually had a woman first.
She didn't understand why her aunt did this, for so many years, she knew that her father was not treated by her aunt, and she also knew that she didn't like her aunt, so she naturally thought that the queen mother and the emperor did this to disgust her.
"If you have the ability, don't marry me, you want to rely on Horqin, but you don't want to see me." Meng Guqing thought hatefully, "How can there be such a cheap thing?" β
When she was angry, another wave of people walked by, and it seemed that they were still going to send something to the pregnant Fujin.
Meng Guqing unconsciously followed, bypassed Cining Palace, and entered a small courtyard, the door was brightly lit, and laughter came out from time to time.
There was no one on duty in front of the door, so she burst in, only to see a pot-bellied woman standing at the table, holding a small red shirt in her hand, and said to the person next to her, "Can you wear such a small dress?" β
The palace maid on the side smiled: "This is too big, you will know when the little brother is born." β
Suddenly, someone noticed Meng Guqing, the room suddenly quieted down, and the little palace maid stepped forward to ask who Meng Guqing was, and without waiting for Meng Guqing to answer, Barya Fujin's heart was tight, and he seemed to have understood the origin of the person in front of him.
Her heart churned, hesitating whether to salute the future queen, and felt the heat under her, and said in a panic: "Mama, why am I running water......
