Shunzhi smiled bitterly: "Everyone here has more sins than you. Compared to the previous scene, not only are you the most loyal to me, but how can I blame you?"

Then he straightened his color and said, "You came just in time, so you don't have to go and lie down in the palace...... Young Master Tang, you won the imperial examination at the beginning, and then you became an official in the court, I am not mistaken, right? In a flash, seven years have passed...... You were the top student in high school at the beginning of the year, and I entrusted you with reuse without further assessment, which is indeed looking at the relationship between Concubine Yun. But now it seems that my choice was not wrong, and you have never failed my trust. ”

Tang said remotely: "The emperor has won the award." After entering the palace, I learned that there were countless erudite people, and the classics in the palace were even more vast. There is still a lot to learn from the lower officials. ”

Shunzhi said: "What touched me the most this time was the shortcomings of our politics for many years. Why should we stick to racial views and excessively restrict our horizons? Whether it is the Central Plains or other local states, they all have their own excellent culture, otherwise they would not have spread to this day and still prosper. What's more, people of the same clan may not be able to treat you sincerely, and people of different races may not be able to be loyal to you...... "Tang Yuanxi said: "Yes! Xia Guan has mentioned to the emperor many times that if you can truly achieve the 'Manchu and Han family', it will be a blessing for the Qing Dynasty and a blessing for the world!"

Shunzhi said: "Yes, but now many Han people are prejudiced against our Manchu Qing." From now on, it's up to you and Yaohua to bother more. The two of you are still young, and you happen to be biased towards one literature and one martial arts, and you are assisting the dynasty, so I can rest assured. In the future, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will still have you as the mainstay. As for the way of governance, it is not advisable to blindly stick to the rules, but we should not be too deviant...... This mesoscale is up to you to measure. ”

Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, ......" The words of resignation came to his mouth, and when he saw his deeply sad face, he couldn't say it for a while.

Shunzhi patted each of them on the shoulder, and let out a long sigh, but his face showed a kind of relief that had settled, and said, "Okay! I have said everything that should be said, and then, it is time for me to leave." Everyone was surprised and said, "Your Majesty, you ...... Where are you going?" Seeing his desolate expression, he was by no means in an unusual posture to return to the Qianqing Palace.

Shunzhi said: "After experiencing so many things, I only feel that life is like a big dream of vicissitudes, and the glitz turns empty. After waking up from the dream, fate is over. No matter how much you have, you will eventually lose it, and you will not be able to hold anything. Even if you are the Son of Heaven, you still can't fight against life and death. I still remember how happy everyone was at the beginning of the year, but at this moment, it was the end of the song. Any big drama will eventually come to an end, and there is a way to 'have a banquet that will not be dispersed in the world'. I have seen through the deep and shallow fate of this world, and I have no intention of chasing after the genus of corn and the decay of plants and trees with everyone. The world is vast, but it is difficult to find a place to stay. I have heard that only the Dharma is boundless, and it is worth studying, and that's it. I left the palace on the same day and went alone, looking for a temple and leaving home. From now on, meditate and participate in meditation, the ancient Buddha of the green light, and live this life. ”

When everyone heard it at first, they were all shocked, and they stepped forward to persuade them, saying: "Your Majesty, don't be rash!" "Your Majesty, the rivers and mountains of the Great Qing Kingdom can't be separated from you!" "Your ......Majesty" Shunzhi waved his hand and said: "My mind has been decided, so you don't need to say more." ”

The officials still did not give up, as if one more persuasion could reduce the sins of participating in the rebellion, one by one, Shunzhi was always indifferent, his face was cold and hard, and he went straight forward. Seeing that he was about to step out of the threshold of Yinxue Palace, Xuan Shuang seemed to suddenly make up his mind, came out of the crowd, and called: "Huang Ama!"

Shunzhi didn't turn his head and said, "You don't need to call me anymore." You're a great guy, maybe no one else is as good as you, and I didn't include you as one of the main culprits because you're different from them. But you are also the only one I can't see through, and if you have a conscience, it will be more terrible than nothing. In contrast, you have done me a small favor, and I am not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. But...... There are times when people are selfish and cowardly, even kings. From now on, I don't want to see you again, and our father-son relationship is severed today. ”

Xuan Shuang's body trembled slightly, and it took a great effort to suppress the surging emotions, and said, "Huang Ama, you don't have to rush to dissociate yourself from me. Although my sons are arrogant, they always have the least self-knowledge, and if I have made trouble to this point, do I still expect you to give away the crown prince's throne? Yes, I am still too immature, and there are many things that I do not know enough and cannot control. But I am here today, and one day, when I grow up, I will come back again, and I will take back everything that belongs to me! What I have said, even if it breaks my head, even if it costs me my life, I will definitely do it!"

Shunzhi said coldly: "If you just want to say these things to me...... The battle for the throne has nothing to do with me, so please take care of yourself. ”

Xuanshuang gritted his teeth and said, "No......! If Concubine Dong E is really more important to you than her life, she can determine all the pleasures in your life, and all your nostalgia in the world...... So, then I'll tell you, in fact, she's not dead!" Shunzhi turned around in surprise and said, "Are you serious?"

Seeing that he reacted so violently, Xuan Shuang laughed miserably and said, "Huang Ama, you really care about her so much...... At that time, I accidentally discovered that the woman was planning with her subordinates to borrow the hand of Concubine Dong E to get rid of Concubine Tong, so that she could send that bowl of bird's nest and cause Concubine Tong to lose the child. After that, I expected that with her personality, she would inevitably eliminate the living mouth, she knew that you couldn't bear to do it, and if the matter dragged on for a long time, maybe there would be a day when the truth would come out, so she prepared another bowl of poison and went to visit Concubine Dong E in prison. I don't want to see the tragedy happen again, so I ...... that bowl of medicine Swap secretly. Therefore, after Concubine Dong E drank it, she just fell into a state of suspended animation, and I hid aside and watched them carry her body out of the palace for burial. I stayed by until she woke up in the middle of the night, and I rescued her from her grave and sent her to a house in the east of the city, where I found a few other people to attend to her daily life. In order to prevent them from revealing her whereabouts, they cut off all her tongues. If you think about it for more than a year, the situation will not change much. If you still love her, you might as well take her back to the palace, if you want, you can arrange a new identity for her, anyway, no one dares to chew her tongue behind her back. But if you really love her, treat her well, women are very fragile, and what they want is very simple, but it is also the least satisfying. Love cannot be shared with anyone, and I know that as an emperor, it may be difficult for you. But presumably you can't bear it even more, let a weak woman who sees you as a god and only has you in her heart be hurt for your fraternity. I just want to say so much, where to go, you make up your own mind. Goodbye. Saying that, he actually crossed Shunzhi and stepped out of the palace gate first.

Shunzhi was silent for a long time, and when he saw that Xuanshuang's back was about to disappear, he suddenly said: "You helped me with this, I thank you very much." Xuanshuang stood still from a distance and replied coldly: "No need." The figure immediately jumped up and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

A piece of dry yellow paper fell from the sky, and Shunzhi hurried forward despite everyone's dissuasion, only to see that the paper was painted with crooked lines, like a map. Shunzhi is both grateful and sorry for his hard work. Looking at the direction he was far away, he was full of emotion and was silent for a long time.

This coup d'état was regarded as a royal scandal, and Qi Chongge, Prince Fu and others compiled history books, ashamed of themselves, and omitted this paragraph. Later, according to the map drawn by Xuan Shuang, Shunzhi really took Concubine Dong E back to the palace, got along for a long time, and finally had an epiphany about why he had a soft spot for her in the first place.

is all because Concubine Dong E is gentle and virtuous, which is very consistent with Shen Shiyun when they first met. It's not so much that he is looking for a feeling, but that he is recalling the unique feeling that moved him at the beginning, so he doubled his love for her, and almost pinned his feelings for Shen Shiyun on her. At the same time, keeping in mind what Xuan Shuang said, he quickly snubbed the rest of the concubines, and only favored Concubine Dong E.

After leaving the palace, Dorgon wandered around, and the heart of the emperor was rekindled, and he came up with the idea of finding another place to stop and regather his forces in order to wait for the next day to make a comeback. He stayed in the city of Kara for a short time, hunting and relaxing, but suddenly fell ill and died a few days later, on the ninth day of the twelfth month. Emperor Shunzhi personally paid tribute to the suburbs, the subjects served him, and the regent * Fu was stored in the inner treasury, and he was respected as the emperor of Maode Cultivation and Guangye Dinggong Anmin Founding Sincere and Righteous Emperor, and the temple number became a sect.

But only three months later, Sukh Saha, Zhan Dai, Muqilun and others first sued the regent for the regent. Shunzhi thought about the previous coup d'état, and he was discouraged that day, and dealt with him leniently, and now after being provoked by Shangguan Yaohua and others, he immediately ordered his family to kill his henchmen. and officially pursued Dorgon, opened the coffin and whipped the corpse, cut off his honorific title and his mother and wife to chase the seal, and removed the temple to enjoy.

In January of the eighth year of Shunzhi, Prince Ying Azig was not dead, and took advantage of the regent's mourning period to join forces with Qi Chongge, Ganglin, Prince Fu and others to rebel again. After pacification, he was confined. There are rumors in the palace that Prince Fu and others rebelled, all of which were planned by Shangguan Yaohua. In order to get rid of this "father-in-law" who suppressed him in terms of seniority, while preventing him from "turning over", and then threatening his own status.

On the 10th of the same month, the Ministry of Rites paid attention to the pro-government ceremony of Emperor Shunzhi, and on the 12th, he officially drove the Taihe Palace. This time, Shunzhi was no longer as obedient as before, and in February, he exterminated Dorgon's henchmen and punished all those who rebelled. As soon as Prince Fu died, Shangguan Yaohua was immediately like a fish in water in the palace, which seemed to confirm everyone's speculation. For this reason, Shunzhi did not say a word, and he mainly forbears and appeases him.

Ten years later, Concubine Dong E passed away, Shunzhi was grief-stricken, and this time no one was by his side to comfort him, and finally collapsed and resolutely left the palace. Some people say that he really became a monk in Qingliang Temple, and some people say that he died of illness not long after leaving the palace. There are different theories, and this matter is listed as one of the major unsolved cases in the Qing court, along with the cause of death of Prince Zhuang Shuerhaqi and Emperor Taizong Huang Taiji.

Before Shunzhi left the palace, he issued an edict called "Guilty Edict". The first paragraph says: "I inherited Piji with Liangde, and I have been in the past for eighteen years. Since the pro-government, the discipline and law, the administration of people, can not look up to the law Taizu, Taizong Mo Lie, follow the leisurely, Gou An present, and gradually get used to the Han customs, in the simple old system has been changed, so that the country has not been perfected, the people's livelihood has failed, is a crime of mine. The emperors and kings Baylor and others are all descendants of Taizu and Taizong, and they are national vassals, so they should be treated preferentially to show their relatives. I am in the kings of Baylor and others, and the Jin is due to the east, and the favor is restored, so that the friendship is separated, and the way of friendship is not considered, which is one of my sins. ”

In the eighth year, Tang Yuanyuan resigned, and after Shangguan Yaohua's forces were firmly seated, they gradually became unscrupulous. Shunzhi was sincerely disappointed in the Manchus, and even appointed Han people as a wide audience. That's why the edict said, "The ministers of Manchuria, or loyal throughout the ages, or have served for many years, rely on it, and do their best, I can't trust it, and I can't show my talents." And the loss of the country in the Ming season, mostly due to the preference for civil ministers, I did not take it as a warning, but appointed Han officials, that is, the ministry sealed the letter, and occasionally let the Han officials take charge, so that the Manchu ministers had no intention of doing things, and their energy was slack, which was one of my crimes. ”

After the death of Concubine Dong E, Shunzhi posthumously named her Queen Duanjing. When the funeral was held, it was accompanied by the meaning of jointly paying tribute to Shen Shiyun, and a lot of money was spent, and the edict said, "Duanjing Empress Dowager is filial piety, assisting me in bowing, internal affairs and cultivation, I admire Ci Lun, remember the virtuous lady, and the funeral ceremony is generous, but you can't stop the love with etiquette. ”

When Shen Shiyun rebelled, he drafted an edict and forced him to sign it on the spot. Shunzhi was indignant at first, and then he missed Shen Shiyun in every way, and even the edict was regarded as a precious souvenir, and he took it with him when he left the palace. After thinking about it day and night, I felt that what I said was not unreasonable. The original sentence was slightly changed and entered into it, and the edict said, "I have a high dream, and I can't be humble and acceptable, and when employing people, we must strive for their virtue in our own way, and fail to follow the material, so that every sigh lacks people." If you give up the short record and record it for a long time, then people have micro skills and can be used, so that the world has no material, it is my sin. Set up officials and divide duties, but virtue is used, advance and retreat can not be ignored, I am among the courtiers, there are clear knowledge of its unscrupulous, the knife is not immediately reprimanded, but still reinstated and tolerant, such as Liu Zhengzong, partial and jealous, I have insight in my heart, but allow him to serve in the government for a long time, it can be said that he can not be raised when he sees the virtuous, and he cannot retreat when he sees the unscrupulous, which is my sin. People are not at fault, in the sun of the ten thousand, naturally there are many mistakes, but if you are willing to listen to the advice, you must know. I am always proud of my cleverness, and I can't listen to what I say. Gu Yun, Liangjia is deeply hidden, a gentleman is virtuous, and his appearance is foolish. I go against what I say, so that the ministers are silent and refuse to speak, which is my sin. I have known that every time I repent myself, it is still a vain word, and those who fail to change it will accumulate over time, and I will be guilty of too much. ”

Regarding the canonization of the crown prince that has been controversial for many years, the edict said, "Taizu and Taizong have created a foundation, which is very important, and the heir of Yuanliang is not long, and my son Xuanye, born to Concubine Tong, is also eight years old, Qi Yinghui, Ke Cheng Zong, and is hereby established as the crown prince, that is, he obeys the canonical system, holds the service for 27 days, and releases the throne, that is, the emperor's throne." The special ministers of the interior, Sony, Sukh Saha, Suppilon, and Ao Bai are auxiliary ministers, and Yi and other ministers are all old and important ministers, and I am loyal to the heavens, Bao Yi Chong, and the government affairs, and tell the Chinese and foreign countries, and the Xian envoy knows about it. ”

It is said that at first, it was because Xuan Ye was infected with smallpox when he was young, and then recovered, and it is said that the disease has never been counterstained, and he escaped death, and he was always rich and noble. Not only that, Xuan Ye's talent is even more outstanding, no less than Xuan Shuang back then. Shunzhi sometimes listened to him, and often had a moment of trance, as if the two sons had always been one person. In the past eight years, he has also sent people to search, but he has never heard from Xuanshuang.

Later, Xuan Ye ascended the throne, and really lived up to expectations, laying a solid foundation for the Qing Dynasty, which was the Kangxi Emperor who was respected as the "Emperor of the Ages" in the future, and the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties were called "Kangqian Prosperous Era", which was also related to the prosperous development of the Kangxi period.

After this, Xuan Shuangguo reappeared, and at that time he was already the "master of the Heavenly Palace" who caused a sensation in the Central Plains, and his name spread all over the country (for details, please refer to "Red Dust in Troubled Times"). A change has set off a new round of storms. This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.
