Chapter 32: Forgetting Righteousness (1)
Early in the morning, Prince Fu was taking care of official business in the palace, and suddenly the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace came to report, and the emperor summoned the prince. Prince Fu has a ghost in his heart, and this time he is even more timid. Recently, he is plotting to usurp power, and he has already started to arrange, is there any misconduct in any place that has caught the omission of the emperor?
The things in front of us are not yet complete, and the power is insufficient, even if it is immediately started, there is no chance of victory. I couldn't help but panic, and tried to test it several times on the way, but the eunuch always replied that I didn't know. I don't know if he kept it tight, or the emperor even hid it from him.
After arriving at the Qianqing Palace after a while, the eunuch guarding the door announced loudly, and the sound stinged Prince Fu's ears, and it was the first time that he was so tired of the eunuch's voice that he had long been accustomed to. Before he could wake up, he was pushed in. Shunzhi was reviewing the chapter at the table, and when he saw him, he immediately dismissed the attendants around him and said, "Prince Fu, sit down." Prince Fu was even more apprehensive in his heart, and deliberately put on a humble posture to test it first, and said with a smile: "In front of the emperor, how can there be a minister's seat?"
Shunzhi said: "I have something to ask for. Today, I will only meet as an uncle and nephew, and I don't have to be confined to the difference between monarchs and ministers. I told you to sit, and you sit. ”
Prince Fu saw that his smile was very kind, but who knew if there was a deadly blade hidden behind his back? At the same time, seeing that there were only himself and him in the temple, he was a little relieved. I hope that the emperor is too careless because he has not thought it through. If he ambushed a large number of soldiers outside the palace, once he moved, he could still take him as a hostage. However, the time has not yet come, as long as you can not break your face, you still try to maintain a peaceful appearance.
Shunzhi pushed aside the piles of folds, leaving an open space on the table. Said: "Prince Fu, I have a troublesome matter recently, and I can't figure it out. If you want to find a personal consultation, it is a royal secret, and it is really inappropriate in case the news leaks. I think about it, you are an elder who grew up watching me, and you are an elder of the court who has long been loyal to the first emperor, what is the matter today...... You are not a member of the royal family, you have no stakes involved, and if you want to say that the best person to consult, you are the first. If this matter drags on for a day, it will be more involved, so I am anxious to ask for your opinion, and I have missed the prince's business, right?"
Prince Fu replied cautiously: "I can solve problems for the emperor, minister...... It's an honor. Shunzhi said: "That's very good." Does Aiqing know that she was in the palace yesterday and gave Ling Beile a way to exorcise ghosts?"
Prince Fu said in his heart: "So what? Do you suspect that I instructed him to pretend to be crazy and stupid?" After thinking about it, he replied: "Although the minister was not present in person at that time, he also heard Xiao'er repeat it afterwards. Shunzhi bowed his head and said: "The shaman told me that Xuanshuang is contaminated with evil spirits, and if you want to completely eradicate this strange disease, you must make him the crown prince as soon as possible and give him another palace to live in." In your opinion, what should be done about this?"
After hearing these words, Prince Fu thought that Shunzhi's summons should have nothing to do with him, and he couldn't help but laugh at the first worry. silently calculated the pros and cons in his heart, and replied: "The final decision is naturally made by the emperor." The minister is just a little humble in his heart...... According to the minister's opinion, it is not advisable to stand. ”
Shunzhi resonated and blurted out: "I am also like this......" Then he thought that this matter was a secret that was inconvenient to expose, and before the decision was made, it was better not to let anyone know what he was thinking, so he swallowed the word "think" back. But having said that, it doesn't matter whether to continue or not. He changed his words and asked, "How can you see it?"
Prince Fu was so witty that he deliberately pretended not to hear Shunzhi's previous words. continued: "Back to the emperor, the minister doesn't know everything about this matter, so he can only say that he came to the emperor for details." ”
If it can be said that it coincides with Shunzhi, it is the emperor's wisdom. If there is a disagreement, then it is replaced by a minister who does not know what is going on. continued: "The minister always feels that Ling Beile's madness is faked, in order to seek the position of the crown prince as soon as possible. If he didn't do it intentionally, there was someone else behind him. Those shamans, who also colluded with the regent, had already bought it and deliberately slandered the emperor. If he acted according to his words at this time, wouldn't he just fulfill the wish of those who plotted against him? When did the Qing Dynasty crown the crown prince, and the emperor had his own considerations in mind. How can he be easily led by the nose by others? When the time comes, how will the emperor's prestige remain?"
Shunzhi sighed: "Yes, this is also about my heart." I don't believe in evil and do things. Ghosts cast charming, this kind of legend has been around since ancient times. It's just that how can a good person fall for evil in order to become a prince? This matter is too bizarre, how can I be convinced and the subjects of the world convinced?"
Prince Fu said: "The minister is frightened, this inference is only based on bold conjecture, and there is no flaw in Ling Beile's words and deeds. The only thing that the minister couldn't figure out was that he had already deliberately deceived the emperor and was sure to come prepared, so how could he make up such an untenable lie? In today's world, there are still many strange diseases that are difficult to diagnose the cause, and I am afraid that this evil is also one of them......
Shunzhi said: "Xuanshuang, this child, is very well-behaved and clever, and has always been my favorite son. But he couldn't deceive me like this. I'm afraid that he has another accomplice, and I don't know how many people will be involved in this matter, and I want to take this opportunity to investigate thoroughly. It depends on how many people in this palace are truly loyal to me, and how many are restless in private?"
Prince Fu smiled dryly: "Your Majesty, there is a sentence that you may not like to hear, but the minister really thinks about the emperor, but he must say it." Limbel may not be as innocent as you see. His cunning is even more than that of the rest of the scheming people. Shunzhi was taken aback and said, "Why did Aiqing say this?"
Prince Fu said: "Ling Beile is good friends with Xiaoer Yaohua, and even has a close relationship with his ministers. He once complained to his ministers again and again, saying that the emperor had clearly agreed to make him the crown prince, but why did he refuse to fulfill his obligations? When people complained, the words they said were often not very good, and the ministers forgot about them after hearing them. He also told his ministers that his patience was limited, and if the emperor still could not give him a satisfactory answer, he planned to ...... He usurped power in private, rebelled, and forced the palace to abdicate! and invited his ministers to cooperate with him, and if necessary, send troops to help, if this matter is successful, he will definitely not forget today's grace in the future!"
Shunzhi was greatly touched and said, "How is this possible?" What came to mind was still Xuanshuang's well-behaved and cute appearance. But thinking of his words and deeds when he was exorcizing ghosts, he did reveal some deeply suppressed resentment. The most critical point is to remember that the palace battles have always been filthy, and there are countless examples of fathers and sons turning against each other. It's just that I didn't expect that one day, it would happen to me as well.
In his heart, it was better to never hear about it, but he couldn't help but ask: "What was the situation at that time? ”
Prince Fu said: "When he proposed, the minister did not explicitly refuse, but also pretended to be a little tempted, wanting to gain his trust, so that he could hear more of his thoughts and prepare for future trends." Sometimes, in order to be able to play a scene realistically, you have to do a lot of extra scenes. The ministers did all this, in the end, for the sake of the emperor and the Qing Dynasty. ”
He laid out the arrangements in advance, so that even if there were changes in the future, he could be exonerated in front of the emperor, and he could also get a pretense for acting justifiably. Shunzhi said: "I naturally believe you, what else do you explain?"
Prince Fu said with a smile: "Although the emperor is sage, but the ministers have lived in officials and dignitaries for many years, and I am afraid that there will be a wide range of dissatisfied." If it is tampered with by people with ulterior motives and spread falsehoods, it will be completely reversed from the truth. Many unnecessary misunderstandings between monarchs and ministers often come from this. This sentence reached the ears of the emperor, if it can stir up a little wave in your heart, it is also the sinful of the minister. ”
Shunzhi said: "I have clear rewards and punishments, and I have always paid attention to conclusive evidence, so the prince does not have to worry." Darkfrost ...... But what?"
Prince Fu said: "At first, the minister was also trying his best to persuade Ling Beile, so that he understood that the emperor was the king of the world first, and then his father. Whatever the emperor does, he must focus on the overall situation. Even if he has snubbed you recently, in his heart, he must still care about your son. You have to understand the emperor's difficulties and stop bothering him. But don't have the idea of going against the emperor. That would be tantamount to being an enemy of the entire Qing Dynasty. The emperor and his ministers have also tried their best to persuade Ling Beile to go back to the right path and assist the emperor again, and they have never played a role in fueling the troubles, and they still hope that the emperor will learn from it! Unfortunately, Ling Beile has been too deeply trapped, and the ministers' repeated persuasions are still ineffective. ”
Shunzhi said: "You are loyal and dedicated to my Qing Dynasty." I understand this central meaning. It's just Xuanshuang...... Alas, I didn't expect him to lie to me all along, and all the surfaces he could see were false, which was really terrifying. Isn't that me always under calculation?...... Alas, this is the sorrow of being the king of a country, and even your own son will regard you as an enemy. Now, I really envy you, sometimes, my own flesh and blood are not as intimate as adopted children. Yaohua must be very filial to you, right?"
Prince Fu smiled flatteringly, sneered in his heart, and said secretly: "Yaohua, don't mention him." My son is in collusion with your son, and that's it. How can I spare him?"
Shunzhi's thoughts were repeated, always revolving around the matter of Lichu, and said: "I originally thought that Xuanshuang was willful for a while, so he did such a thing, and it is not unforgivable. But now I have to reconsider. No matter how strong his ability is, at such a young age, he has such a heavy sense of resourcefulness, and he will be in power in the future, will he not be even more mercenary, and will he have to take away life and death? For the sake of tens of thousands of years of country, the throne cannot be handed over to him. You say, what should I do to really settle down? I don't want to watch a son become a fool for no reason......"
Prince Fu said: "According to the minister, it is better to go with the flow. The more anxious Ling Beile waits for a reply, the more we will consume him, but how long can he endure it? If he is really patient and willing to play crazy and stupid for the rest of his life, the minister will have nothing to say. However, Ling Beile should know the gains and losses in this, and he must not make that loss-making deal. ”
Shunzhi muttered: "Although this method is feasible, it will inevitably delay for a long time, and I am afraid that things will change...... Is there a way to do it once and for all?"
Prince Fu said: "If you really want to say it, it's not nothing. It's just that Ling Beile is still a child, but he can hold his breath very calmly, and if he wants to force him to do it as soon as possible, he has to use some radical methods...... "Then what are you waiting for?
Prince Fu paused for a moment, and replied word for word: "Prince Suli!"
Shunzhi was stunned, his face immediately sank, and he said: "What kind of method is this? Now that the crown prince has been established, isn't it in the hands of some unsubordinated people?"
Prince Fu said: "No, the emperor has misunderstood the meaning of the minister. Lizi is not really Liling Baylor. Instead, please ask the emperor to make all the arrangements in advance, and then select another one among all the elder brothers, give him the position of the crown prince, and announce it to the world. At that time, Ling Belle was driven to a dead end, and it would be impossible to rebel again. If he still has no heart for the throne, he will definitely take action immediately, and that is his last chance to turn the tables. ”
