[Qing Chuan] Reborn Bogul's Counterattack
Chapter 25
In fact, before Aobai and the others came, Bumbutai had already received the news from there.
After letting the little eunuch who reported the letter retreat, Bumbutai sat on the low kang of the Compassionate Ning Palace, his face turned blue and white.
After a long while, she finally raised her head and gave instructions: "Send someone to tell Oboi that you don't need to bring someone to report, and remember to silence everyone. Just pretend that what happened today never happened, and never mention it again."
"Hey!" As if she knew she would give such an order, Su Ma backed away cautiously after hearing this.
After Su Ma went out for a while, everything was arranged properly.And when he went to the imperial dining room to cook a few side dishes for Bumbutai himself, he entered the room and found Bumbutai sitting upright on the low kang.
The entire outer corridor of the Compassionate Ning Palace was already lit with orange palace lanterns, but only her room was still so dark that no one dared to go up.
Suddenly feeling unbearable, Su Ma quickly took the food box from the hand of the maid behind her and waved everyone back, then walked in slowly.
She did not move lightly, but Bumbutai still did not respond.
Going forward, she took out the trays of local side dishes from the box one by one, and placed them on the red sandalwood kang table beside her.Su Ma said softly: "Master, are you satisfied? If you still want to eat something? Tell Su Ma, I will order the imperial dining room to make some again."
In fact, just by smelling the smell, Bumbutai already knew that the food on the table today was made by Su Ma.
Feeling a little warmer in his heart, Bumbutai said softly, "Am I too impatient?"
"A little bit." With a smile, he gently placed the ebony inlaid silver chopsticks in front of her.Su Ma smiled and said, "Today, someone saw Lord Belle appearing near Kunning Palace. Queen Mother, you really overreacted."
Bumbutai didn't make a sound, Su Ma put a plate of small dishes in front of her with a smile and continued: "But I know that whatever you do, master, you have no choice but for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the emperor!"
"Ah!" Sighing a long time, looking at the dishes on the table, Bumbutai's expression finally improved a little: "Although Prince Zheng is gone, I will never forget that he once suggested that Bogul The matter of enthroning and proclaiming the emperor. Bogul was not allowed to enter the political council, and Bogul was not crowned king. I don’t know what he and the royal family think in private.”
"But now you have agreed to let Lord Baylor go out to practice? I believe Lord Baylor and all the princes and ministers will remember your kindness."
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Bumbutella said in a long voice: "There is no way to do this. Instead of letting him enter the political council at a young age, I would rather let him go out for a few years. I thought he would be brave and foolish. What will be the future, but things in this world are ever-changing, and I always want to be on the safe side. If Hua Shuzi's death today has something to do with him, and I forgive him in private, then he and Namu Doesn’t Zhong have a handle in my hands? In this way, even if he is serious in the future, I still have a way to restrain him. But now—”
Feeling bad again, thinking of Na Muzhong's aggressiveness and disregard, Bumbutai gritted his teeth and said: "If the first emperor hadn't said that he would give preferential treatment to Lin Dan Khan's heirs when he succeeded the Mongol Khan, it would have made Chahar Lin Danhan's son will continue to succeed. If Ezhe hadn't died early and my aunt's daughter had remarried to her Na Muzhong's son, how could I have endured her to such an extent!"
I also feel that this concubine is a bit arrogant, and she doesn't know how to look at her face at all.But when she thought of her temperament and favor in the early years, Su Ma could only persuade: "She is now a strong outsider, but if she encountered such a thing before, she would definitely come directly to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to discuss it. But now such a big matter , she can only whine in her side palace."
It makes sense to think about it, how could Bumbutai fail to see her changes after spending more than ten years together day and night.
With a slight smile, he picked up the silver chopsticks in front of him, Bumubutai, and said generously: "Forget it, the emperor is too old. I will leave this Bogul to him to tame. There is my mother-in-law behind him, so I really want to do something." I can still handle one or two things.”
"That's natural! The emperor will definitely not let you down." With a clear smile on her face, Su Ma flattered her loudly: "You, queen mother, just look at it, and I can guarantee that even if the princess is swayed in front of outsiders today It caught fire. But when he comes in front of you, he will definitely do whatever he wants."
Just when Bumbutai of the Compassionate Ning Palace finally let go of his knots, he began to eat.Na Muzhong, who had dinner with his son in Renshou Palace, also made a decision.
Picking up a piece of fresh fish for Bogul who had been picking up rice in front of him, Na Muzhong turned around and told Mother Qin beside him, "Go and clean up, I will leave the palace with Lord Belle later!"
Na Muzhong used to like to go out to live for a period of time, but he never said anything about packing up.Because her things are all set by Lord Belle, and Renshou Palace keeps another set.
Now that she heard her say that, Mother Qin was stunned and couldn't believe it.
Putting down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, Bogul was also a little startled: "Er Niang, didn't you say that you are not used to living in Baylor Mansion? My son is going out with the army, what are you---"
Suddenly thinking of what happened today, Bogul stood up and knelt down in a daze: "Er Niang, Er Niang, it's all Bogul's fault today, I'm confused, I'm messing around. You -- don't force yourself for the sake of your son ---"
Bogul knelt at Na Muzhong's feet, trembling with his hands on her knees.Na Muzhong leaned over and touched his head and laughed loudly: "Don't think about it, Er Niang just thinks it is more convenient and free outside the palace. You are going out, Er Niang just wants to accompany you more, and help you by the way Take care of your Fujin. She is always awake, and Er Niang is also in a hurry."
"Mother, you--"
Knowing that she was undoubtedly showing weakness to the one from the Compassionate Ning Palace, Na Muzhong smiled faintly and said bravely: "I just moved some commonly used things there, I will still come to this palace whenever I want, don't think about it!"
Hearing these words, Nanny Qin finally had a solid idea in her mind, she hurriedly walked out quietly, and ordered her palace servants to come.The concubine's actions today must have offended the queen mother, so it might be a good idea to back off a little at this moment.
But Bogul didn't talk too much, but said very seriously: "Er Niang moved there, my son has long wanted to live and eat with Er Niang every day."
When Na Muzhong heard what Bogul said, there was a smile in his eyes.But at this time, Bogul secretly vowed in his heart that he must make his mother-in-law come true in the future.
On October 12th of the lunar calendar in the [-]th year of Shunzhi, Bogul finally got his wish and was able to go out with the army.Also on this day, he got his hands dirty for the first time in his life.And still on this day, Yijing's great concubine Na Muzhong, who had always declared that she would die of old age in the palace, quietly moved out of the palace.
Na Muzhong moved out of the palace, although Fulin was surprised but didn't take it seriously.It's just that the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent more servants to serve them as usual, and gave some more supplements and utensils.
But Bumbutai who got the news from the Compassion Ning Palace was really in a good mood.Even a eunuch from Qianqing Palace came to report that the emperor was always discussing with the ministers about the abolition of the posthumous affairs, she just pretended to be ignorant.
Time flies, and a few days later, Daikin's gold award festival finally arrived.The Golden Festival is the day when the first emperor changed the family name from "Jurchen" to "Manchuria".
This day is very important to the Qing Dynasty, and the Ministry of Rites had already prepared related matters more than two months ago.
And the 49 Mongolian tribes, thousands of miles away, also specially sent people to congratulate them to participate in the three-day palace banquet in the palace.
On this day, the entire imperial palace was tidied up beautifully, and all kinds of lighting fixtures were replaced with new ones.All the floors in the palace were covered with brand-new red mats, and all the places that could be hung were covered with brightly colored silks. Even all the maids and eunuchs in the palace were put on new clothes.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs also sent the clothes and auspicious clothes for this day to the palaces and courtyards early, because it had already received Abu Wu Keshan's letter from Feige saying that it had sent her a gift.So today's Meng Guqing rarely showed a hearty smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Surrounded by several court ladies, he packed up and dressed for two full hours, waiting to wear a bright yellow robe embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons.When the queen, who was wearing a gown trimmed with stone blue gold-woven silk, came to her side, even Fulin was taken aback.
Meng Guqing, who was wearing a green ribbon on his chest, a collar with engraved gold jewels, and three plates of court beads on his collar, looked up at him as he slowly walked up.
Standing on the stone steps, I looked down at the queen who was wearing a crown of various pearls in the crown of Dongzhu Chengjinfeng, and wearing flower-soled shoes.Fulin had to admit that she was really beautiful. In fact, his cousin's appearance and aura were completely unmatched by other women in the palace.
But it's a pity that she happened to be his cousin, Horqin's princess, and Dorgon insisted on giving it to him.
Seeing Meng Guqing being supported by the maid and finally walking to the side step by step, maybe it was out of pity.Maybe just wanting to make her happy for the last time, Fulin stretched out his hand uncharacteristically.
Seeing his unexpected movements, Meng Guqing, who could only embarrassingly follow behind him every time on such occasions, froze for a moment.
Meng Guqing lowered her head slightly, the bright yellow silk ribbon hanging from the crown blocked the look in her eyes.Feeling strange for no reason, Fulin continued to hold his hand in front of her.
The palace servants standing beside Fulin and the people beside Meng Guqing were a little anxious, just when Fulin's heart was getting heavier and heavier and he was about to turn into anger from embarrassment.
The hand wearing the gold-encrusted Nine Dragons Playing Pearl Bracelet finally stretched out slowly, Meng Guqing was not used to wearing rings and finger cots.So without any hesitation, Fulin held Meng Guqing tightly with his tightly curved hands.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is here, and everyone will meet you---"
Seeing Fulin nodding at him, Wu Liangfu immediately informed him.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is here, and everyone will meet you---"
Not far away, the eunuchs were ordered to shout one after another.
Seeing that Meng Guqing straightened up in response to the sound, he nodded at her, and Fulin led her forward with big strides.
"Long live the emperor! Long live the empress!"
The palace bell in the Forbidden City rang, and the whip rang in front of it.Seeing Ji Le beside them, Fulin and Meng Guqing were in a daze.
Walking step by step towards the high platform in front of you, there are hundreds of officials kneeling down on the jade steps, and the shouts and excitement of the people outside the high palace wall.Let the two temporarily forget all the estrangement and suspicion, and put on the most appropriate smiles. At this moment, he is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and she is the mother of the Qing Dynasty.
Finally standing on the high wall outside the Daqing Gate, all the guards around it knelt down.
With Xiao Fulin and Meng Guqing looking at each other, they finally stepped forward hand in hand again.
"emperor!"
"It's the emperor and queen!"
"Long live! Long live!!"
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the queen!"
"All blessings to the emperor, and a thousand years to the empress!"
The outside of the Forbidden City was rarely open to the outside world, and was blocked by the emperor's personal guards wearing yellow armor one by one, and many Manchu people who heard the news went crazy.
Looking at each other and smiling, Fulin and Meng Guqing grabbed the colored paper brought by the palace servants around them and scattered them.
The colorful paper fluttering symbolizes happiness and peace, and everyone knelt down and stretched out their hands.As long as anyone receives it or gets it on their body, they will shout and show off excitedly.
The Golden Festival is the most important festival in the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the festival that all Manchus value most.And the blessing link is also indispensable in a year.
Xu Shi was infected by the smiling faces of the people outside the city wall, and Meng Guqing and Fulin laughed more and more vigorously.
"there!"
Smiling softly, Fulin reminded with a smile.
Grabbing the colored paper in his hand, Meng Guqing threw it down with a smile.
Due to safety issues, Fulin and Meng Guqing could only stand on it for half an hour.
When the two of them were smiling and holding hands, they held Meng Guqing's left hand which was stained with colored paper and slightly wet with sweat.Looking at her rare smile, and thinking of his next arrangement, Fulin struggled and couldn't bear it.
But soon he suppressed all the unbearable pity in his heart, and continued to lead Meng Guqing down calmly.
After the blessing ceremony, they will also go to meet the Mongolian princes and first- and second-rank ministers of the Outer Domain together, and give a palace banquet.
These are all arranged in the Hall of Preserving Harmony, waiting for the two of them to step up together.When they arrived at Baohe Hall, which was covered with yellow glazed tiles and painted with golden dragons and seals on the inner and outer eaves, all the important officials in the court were already kneeling and waiting there.
"Greetings to the emperor and queen, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the queen a thousand years ago."
All the Mongolian princes and ministers who had been arranged to sit inside all knelt down, and Meng Guqing subconsciously looked up to find his own people.
Seeing that she was absent-minded, Fulin pulled her and continued to move forward.
"Greetings to the emperor and queen!"
All the concubines, concubines, grandchildren and wives who were arranged not far from the throne came forward to pay their respects.
"Free gift!"
"Everyone get up!"
Fulin and Meng Guqing uttered their voices together, knowing that being watched by everyone could not make a mistake at this time, so Meng Guqing calmed down and smiled.
With a smile, he passed Bogul in front of him, and saw him standing beside the concubine who was dressed in azure auspicious mansion.The expression was wrong, and he made an upward gesture. Meng Guqing suddenly had a bad feeling.
The smile on his face remained the same, Meng Guqing was still gentle, and followed Fulin Rao and the people who came to worship and continued to move forward.
Gradually he moved forward and waited until there was no one in front of him, and after seeing clearly the scene on the five-story jade-stepped platform, beside the carved golden lacquer throne, Meng Guqing almost bit his lower lip to death.
"Queen?"
His hand was pressed, and he looked at the innocent Fulin beside him.Facing the empress dowager above and the woman sitting next to her who was a lot rounder due to pregnancy, Meng Guqing lowered his head, then raised his head and continued to move forward.
Stepping on the bright and clean gold bricks of the Palace of Preserving Harmony, it was only a few steps away, but in an instant, Meng Guqing thought back and forth many times.
The scene of her just getting married and accepting the worship of all the officials flashed before her eyes, and the scene of her being abolished as a queen and going to make a fuss in the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility, but was imprisoned.Flashing past the scene where she knew that Ama came to the capital to plead for her, and she couldn't see anyone because she was wronged and humiliated.
"I send my respects to the Queen's Mother, and the Queen's Mother is safe!"
Silently following Fulin to pay his respects, the Queen Mother's voice came from beside him, and the voice of the woman who shouldn't be here was also heard.
Taking a deep breath, Bumbutai sat down gently facing the indifference of the queen mother and Fulin against the eyes of countless people behind him.
There have always been only three thrones on the Hall of Preserving Harmony, and the Empress Dowager is in the middle, and she and Fulin are closely next to her on one left and one right.
Now there is an extra chair around the long sandalwood table in front of him, and the empress dowager and the emperor are seated in the middle.
The woman with a puffy stomach next to Fulin has no intention of moving to the side.If it was before, she would definitely make a fuss, and throw her down regardless.In the worst case, she will be driven to the right and let her come to the queen mother's side.Let her know what it means to be superior to the left and inferior to the right, and what is to respect the elders and the inferiors.
But now she could bear it no longer, she sat down lightly, turned around and swept the bottom lightly.Turning to face the empress dowager who was suddenly silent at this moment.
Meng Guqing reminded softly: "Emiang, is it time for the emperor to start!"
"Yeah!!!"
Squinting the corner of his eyes and saying yes a few times, Bumbutai quickly turned his head and said nonchalantly, "The emperor and all the princes are still waiting for you to speak?"
Taking a hard look at Meng Guqing opposite, Fulin nodded with difficulty, and then looked down.
Because the plan didn't come true, Fulin's face became ugly.But even so, he still read the congratulatory message prepared for him by the Ministry of Rites.
On the stage, Fulin was still talking, sitting at the nearest place on the jade steps.Looking at Meng Guqing, who was smiling but pale, Bogul felt relieved and distressed.
Although he thought his gaze was dark, Meng Guqing who was sitting on top and Na Muzhong who was sitting beside him still felt it.
What happened with the flower bouquet may be because the two of them had a secret together.Meng Guqing didn't ignore him like before, but instead showed him a smile of nothing to worry about.
Seeing his son clearly, just because of the smile of the woman above, he completely relaxed, and quickly lowered his head, Na Muzhong looked panicked and disbelieving.
Because Fulin was in a bad mood, he had an impatient look on his face.
Seeing the wind, the etiquette officials below hurriedly cut down the part of singing and dancing.Immediately went directly to the step of receiving the envoys of the princes.
"Chen Shang Zhixin, on the orders of my father, Shang Kexi, came here to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, the Empress. Although my father cannot come, I have prepared some Cantonese gadgets for the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager, please accept them! "
The young Shang Zhixin was the first to come up, and Fu Linmo said slowly: "Your father is in good health---"
"My minister, Mongolian Tumed Aba, pays respects to the emperor and the queen mother, and wishes the emperor to rule the world as soon as possible. The queen mother is getting younger and younger, and the queen is getting more and more beautiful."
"Chen Jingnan, the general under the throne---"
"The head of the Mongolian Kalaqin tribe ---"
The three vassal kings, as well as Koryo, which was brought down by the first emperor, all sent people over.The 49 Mongolian departments also came up first to pay their respects.
In fact, as Emperor Fulin, he had never seen anything, so from the vassal king down to the Mongolian patriarch, they all gave pictures of local specialties, which was strange.
Fulin was in a bad mood at first, seeing them endlessly, in the end he could hardly hold back his smile anymore.
Seeing him like this, Bumbutai could only take over, chat with everyone a few times and then read the reward list from the Ministry of Rites again.
Sitting at the bottom silently, listening to the words of his mother-in-law and the reckless man below.The bored Fulin looked at Meng Guqing opposite again.
If she gets angry today, he can take the opportunity to reprimand her.Then tell everyone in front of all the officials how domineering and domineering she is, how unsuitable he is, so that he can justifiably abolish her.
Feeling that Meng Guqing, who had been looking down, made it clear that he wanted to embarrass him, the expression on Fulin's face became more and more stinky.
"emperor--"
Seeing him looking at the queen opposite, Concubine Tong, who had been terrified since she sat in this position, finally couldn't help calling him softly.
Immediately putting on an expression of nothing to do, Fulin gently held Tong Layue's hand.He whispered: "It's okay, anyway, I'm useless---"
"Bir Tahar, the third son of Prince Horqin Zhuoliketu of Mongolia, send greetings to the Empress Dowager, the Empress!"
As soon as the familiar voice came out, Fulin immediately looked at his Er Niang and Meng Guqing who was opposite.
"Quick, get up!"
"Get up quickly!"
He never thought that Horqin would send him here, nor did he care why other people were listed on the list submitted by the Ministry of Etiquette.At this moment, these two women from the same family and the same surname both showed the same expression of surprise and surprise.
Standing below, a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a black Mongolian robe, looked up at the empress dowager who was also smiling.
"I, Abu, miss the Empress Dowager and the Empress very much, but he didn't care about his health in the early years, and now he really can't get up. I have no choice but to send my nephew to pay my respects to my aunt."
"Prince, what else can you tell me? How is my Yatu?"
Having not seen his family and daughter for three years, Bumbutai is really happy at the moment.
He looked at her, then at the silly younger sister who had been staring at him.Bil Tahar's voice was low: "Yatu is pregnant and in good health, but it's not convenient to come here. The father kept talking about being sorry for Daqing, his aunt and the emperor in Horqin, saying that he shouldn't pamper her too much just because he only has one daughter, so that he can't come here. As for letting her make trouble for the queen mother and the emperor. He also said that he is in poor health and the border has not been peaceful, otherwise he would definitely come to the capital to teach his daughter."
A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face, thinking that he had noticed her and Fulin's actions just now.Bumbutai suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Glancing at Fulin, Bumubutai immediately stretched out his hand to hold Meng Guqing's hands on his knees and said with a smile: "Prince and forehead son-in-law, please don't say that, my girls in Horqin are lively by nature, people in this world Who doesn't know. Our Qing'er is just a little more straightforward, as for---"
"As for other issues, you don't have to worry about it. Our empress is the empress dowager's niece and the emperor's cousin, and your Fujin is the empress dowager's daughter, so she will not treat the empress badly." Smiling, she raised her head and looked Looking at the young man standing in front of him, Na Muzhong continued: "Besides, the prince has worked hard for the Qing Dynasty all his life. There is no credit but also hard work. Our Mongolian daughters are all pampered. No one knows. Forehead, what do you want when you go back this time?" Tell the prince that as long as the queen mother is around, his precious daughter will definitely sit in the back seat and live in harmony with the emperor! Right? Sister, am I right?"
"Thank you, Concubine, for your relief!" Bil Tahar clasped his fists at Na Muzhong, and then looked at the empress dowager above.
This was the first conversation between the two since Na Muzhong moved out of the palace. I don't know why she said these words suddenly.Nodding his head, looking at his son and everyone in the audience, Bumbutai gritted his teeth with a smile and said, "Naturally, as long as the queen is safe and sound and does nothing wrong. The emperor and I will naturally treat her well. Is it the emperor?"
Unexpectedly, even the concubine who has always been very kind to him is helping outsiders now, Fulin can't sit still anymore.
Ignoring the furious eyes of his mother-in-law beside him, Fulin sneered loudly at his empress: "Empress now even calls you spoiled by uncle, as expected, I have not wronged you before, right? We just founded the Qing Dynasty , everything is in vain, so I advocate frugal living, but you--"
"I---
"Emperor Queen---" The voice dragged on for a long time, and Bumbutai said impatiently: "Don't talk about this kind of thing now, it's rare for everyone to come to the capital to see us. We should talk about something happy and get in touch with each other. , It is reasonable to eat, drink, and be lively. As for the small things between you and the queen, you can chat in private. Come to the forehead and sit down first, and we will talk later. Today is a good day left to us by the late emperor. How about a cup of respect to the first emperor?"
"Respect the late emperor!"
"Respect the late emperor, come!"
"The Empress Dowager is right. We should really respect the late Emperor on this festive day."
There are many smart people below, and they quickly raised their wine glasses to adjust the atmosphere.
After drinking a glass of wine, everyone quickly said auspicious words and respected the queen mother.
Knowing that he had angered the queen mother, Fulin's attitude afterwards was remarkable.Although he was still very angry, he still dealt with the ministers and princes who came up one by one with a solid smile.
In the chaos, Bogul also held a wine glass, sandwiched between Jidu, Doni and other young county kings, toasted the queen mother, the queen and the queen.
When changing clothes in the middle, Meng Guqing carefully stuffed a small ball of paper into his hand.
She thought it was her brother's handwriting, but when she opened it and saw the handwriting inside, Meng Guqing knew that she was overthinking it.Although his elder brother can know some Chinese characters, he certainly can't write in such a fair way.
"That is?"
When returning to the outer hall, before Meng Guqing asked further, Qiao Xin smiled and said: "Master, do you mean the wine stains on the servant's body? It was just when I came up to toast with Lord Baylor, I accidentally bumped into it and rubbed it on me!"
Boguer is the only one in the palace who calls Lord Baylor directly, and he has already got what he wants.Meng Guqing glanced at the palace servants on the left and right, frowned and said, "Who asked you this, I just want to ask who is that in front?"
Standing not far in front was a woman in golden auspicious attire, she knew without thinking that it was the one from Jingren Palace.Qiaoxin smiled but said nothing, a palace maid beside her immediately said cautiously: "Mistress Qi, in front is Concubine Tong of Jingren Palace."
"Oh!" Looking at the front coldly, Meng Guqing went straight forward.
Tong Layue, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Meng Guqing passing by as if she hadn't even seen her, and quickly knelt down and whispered: "Layue pays respects to sister queen!"
Slowly evoked a strange smile, looked around and Meng Guqing taunted loudly: "You are such a noble master, you can be equal to me, now you don't want to do this, right? And in this place Kneel down, what are you in the mood for?"
His face turned pale all of a sudden, thinking of nobleman Jin who died in the pool outside Kunning Palace a few days ago, and thinking of what the queen mother said just now.Tong Layue hurriedly said: "Sister, don't blame Layue, okay? Layue is forced to do so today, and she can't help herself. Sister, please believe that Layue absolutely has no other thoughts and dare not think about it."
"is it?"
Turning his head to look at her with a half-smile, seeing that she was about to cry, Meng Guqing immediately turned inward impatiently.
Today's royal chefs in the imperial dining room showed their best performance, and they brought in exquisite dishes one after another.
Everyone naturally ate and drank to save face, and then came up one by one to thank the empress dowager.
Halfway through the palace banquet, everyone finally turned the topic to the Fujian war.
After everyone denounced Zheng Chenggong one by one, they couldn't help talking about the general Jidu this time.
Being guided by the Queen Mother, this topic turned to military pay and finances. Knowing his mother's plan, Fulin quickly said: "The court and China have been at constant war for these years. Zheng Chenggong in Fujian, Ming Yongli in Yunnan, Xiao Xiao in Guizhou The imperial court can’t solve it overnight. Every time the imperial court sends troops to go out, it’s definitely not enough without a few million military pay.”
As soon as the young emperor complained, everyone present immediately understood that today's palace banquet was not for nothing.
No one expressed his opinion immediately, Bumubutai raised the handkerchief in his hand and wiped his lips and said leisurely: "Everyone is responsible for the prosperity of the country. I can't stay out of it. From today onwards, all expenses in the palace will be halved. It can't save much, but there is a One hundred thousand is also a wish."
"I don't want my salary this year, to support the emperor's fight against Fujian."
A Mongolian prince yelled from below. In fact, no one in Mongolia really lived on a mere [-] salary, and someone immediately yelled.
Seeing that the emperor and the queen mother looked at each other three times, they knew that they wanted to start from there, so many princes and princes in Manchuria also echoed loudly.
"I donated 1 taels to support---"
"I will offer 2 taels, and I hope the army can win the battle!"
……
Everyone's voices became louder and louder, and the goal was reached. Bu Mu Butai immediately said, "The emperor and I understand the wishes of all the adults. Except for a few princes, the others don't need to spend money, as long as they have their hearts."
Doing this in advance is just a preparation for the legitimate reduction of the salary three times in the future, what is the seal of the prince Baylor in the middle of the court?
The annual salary in Yunnan is more than 2000 million taels, plus the salaries of the other two Guangdong and Fujian feudal vassals, the annual salary of nearly [-] million taels should be adjusted.
Fulin and Bumbutai, who felt that the time was right, just wanted to put this topic away immediately.The queen who had been silent by their side stood up suddenly.
"Emiang, Your Majesty, I also want to do my best for our Qing soldiers." Ignoring Fulin's surprise and the Queen Mother's doubts.
Meng Guqing turned around and looked down and said loudly: "I have been spoiled by Abu and my elder brother since I was a child, and the things I use are all gorgeous and expensive. Now that the emperor and the queen mother just mentioned the frontier soldiers, I realize how incompetent I am. "
Everyone below started whispering, even Meng Guqing's brother was surprised.
Pretending to be shy and looking down at His Majesty the Emperor, Meng Guqing raised his head again and said softly: "It is inconvenient for me to take out the things in the palace, but I asked Abu to raise a few for me in Horqin Palace. All the hard-earned BMWs should be useful, but I don’t know how many are still available today?”
Unexpectedly, she would mention this suddenly, and her heart was bleeding, Bil Tahar immediately said: "The queen's ranch should be able to pick out [-] cavalry now."
Everyone was shocked, even Bumbutai was a little surprised.Because she never knew that Horqin had so many horses besides the soldiers and horses she knew, and ten thousand was not a small number.
Seemingly understanding what she was thinking, Meng Guqing turned his head and said with a smile: "Abu has given this ranch to the child since he was a child. If the emperor and Er Niang hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten about it."
"Really?" Fulin was speechless, and Bumbutai looked at Meng Guqing with more scrutiny.
"Your Majesty, the horses on the prairie are the most suitable for fighting. Such a big gift from the Queen is more important than how much silver."
Ji Du, who was most concerned about this battle, was the first to stand up and get excited.
The Qing Dynasty was conquered on horseback, and Fulin naturally knew the key to it.Although there were 1 reluctances in his heart, he still said quietly: "In this case, I will thank the Queen for her generosity on behalf of the Eight Banners."
Shaking his head slightly, as if he was embarrassed, Meng Guqing said meekly and politely against Fulin's unwilling expression: "My Majesty, I am the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, and this is all my duty, please don't be polite."
As if he didn't see that Fulin's face darkened all of a sudden, he turned his head to face Meng Guqing below and said leisurely: "Just now I saw that Boguer Belle said that he would donate 2 taels of silver, and his one-year salary for a little Lord Belle is not enough. It's only 500 taels, and 2 taels would be his salary for eight years!"
Everyone was stunned and wondered why she suddenly mentioned Bogul, even Bogul who was sitting was a little surprised, and Na Muzhong was even more concerned.
Without the slightest hesitation, Meng Guqing continued: "Bogul is only thirteen this year, and I also know that Concubine Toffee has no savings and likes to do good deeds. So the 2 taels donated by Lord Belle should be from his childhood. All savings."
"Queen---" Knowing that she couldn't go on, Bumbutai immediately coughed lightly.
He didn't care about her, and Meng Guqing, who always knew how to repay her kindness, said with a moved face: "He is a child of the first emperor's heir, and he knows that he will do everything for the Qing Dynasty. My cousin, sister-in-law, who is three years older than him How can I be really indifferent. So except for my horse in Horqin, I plan to take out all the dowry that Ama gave me in my hand, and hope that King Jian will return home without any worries during this trip."
The author has something to say: I really can't find out the silver taels in the palace, so I wrote it all based on estimates, and please try not to research it.
In ancient times, there was no such name for the Golden Festival, so it cannot be verified!
ps: Thank you for your support, my v texts never give up.I will try my best to update and stabilize in the future, so don't worry, I will work hard o(n_n)o Thank you for your support!
After letting the little eunuch who reported the letter retreat, Bumbutai sat on the low kang of the Compassionate Ning Palace, his face turned blue and white.
After a long while, she finally raised her head and gave instructions: "Send someone to tell Oboi that you don't need to bring someone to report, and remember to silence everyone. Just pretend that what happened today never happened, and never mention it again."
"Hey!" As if she knew she would give such an order, Su Ma backed away cautiously after hearing this.
After Su Ma went out for a while, everything was arranged properly.And when he went to the imperial dining room to cook a few side dishes for Bumbutai himself, he entered the room and found Bumbutai sitting upright on the low kang.
The entire outer corridor of the Compassionate Ning Palace was already lit with orange palace lanterns, but only her room was still so dark that no one dared to go up.
Suddenly feeling unbearable, Su Ma quickly took the food box from the hand of the maid behind her and waved everyone back, then walked in slowly.
She did not move lightly, but Bumbutai still did not respond.
Going forward, she took out the trays of local side dishes from the box one by one, and placed them on the red sandalwood kang table beside her.Su Ma said softly: "Master, are you satisfied? If you still want to eat something? Tell Su Ma, I will order the imperial dining room to make some again."
In fact, just by smelling the smell, Bumbutai already knew that the food on the table today was made by Su Ma.
Feeling a little warmer in his heart, Bumbutai said softly, "Am I too impatient?"
"A little bit." With a smile, he gently placed the ebony inlaid silver chopsticks in front of her.Su Ma smiled and said, "Today, someone saw Lord Belle appearing near Kunning Palace. Queen Mother, you really overreacted."
Bumbutai didn't make a sound, Su Ma put a plate of small dishes in front of her with a smile and continued: "But I know that whatever you do, master, you have no choice but for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the emperor!"
"Ah!" Sighing a long time, looking at the dishes on the table, Bumbutai's expression finally improved a little: "Although Prince Zheng is gone, I will never forget that he once suggested that Bogul The matter of enthroning and proclaiming the emperor. Bogul was not allowed to enter the political council, and Bogul was not crowned king. I don’t know what he and the royal family think in private.”
"But now you have agreed to let Lord Baylor go out to practice? I believe Lord Baylor and all the princes and ministers will remember your kindness."
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Bumbutella said in a long voice: "There is no way to do this. Instead of letting him enter the political council at a young age, I would rather let him go out for a few years. I thought he would be brave and foolish. What will be the future, but things in this world are ever-changing, and I always want to be on the safe side. If Hua Shuzi's death today has something to do with him, and I forgive him in private, then he and Namu Doesn’t Zhong have a handle in my hands? In this way, even if he is serious in the future, I still have a way to restrain him. But now—”
Feeling bad again, thinking of Na Muzhong's aggressiveness and disregard, Bumbutai gritted his teeth and said: "If the first emperor hadn't said that he would give preferential treatment to Lin Dan Khan's heirs when he succeeded the Mongol Khan, it would have made Chahar Lin Danhan's son will continue to succeed. If Ezhe hadn't died early and my aunt's daughter had remarried to her Na Muzhong's son, how could I have endured her to such an extent!"
I also feel that this concubine is a bit arrogant, and she doesn't know how to look at her face at all.But when she thought of her temperament and favor in the early years, Su Ma could only persuade: "She is now a strong outsider, but if she encountered such a thing before, she would definitely come directly to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to discuss it. But now such a big matter , she can only whine in her side palace."
It makes sense to think about it, how could Bumbutai fail to see her changes after spending more than ten years together day and night.
With a slight smile, he picked up the silver chopsticks in front of him, Bumubutai, and said generously: "Forget it, the emperor is too old. I will leave this Bogul to him to tame. There is my mother-in-law behind him, so I really want to do something." I can still handle one or two things.”
"That's natural! The emperor will definitely not let you down." With a clear smile on her face, Su Ma flattered her loudly: "You, queen mother, just look at it, and I can guarantee that even if the princess is swayed in front of outsiders today It caught fire. But when he comes in front of you, he will definitely do whatever he wants."
Just when Bumbutai of the Compassionate Ning Palace finally let go of his knots, he began to eat.Na Muzhong, who had dinner with his son in Renshou Palace, also made a decision.
Picking up a piece of fresh fish for Bogul who had been picking up rice in front of him, Na Muzhong turned around and told Mother Qin beside him, "Go and clean up, I will leave the palace with Lord Belle later!"
Na Muzhong used to like to go out to live for a period of time, but he never said anything about packing up.Because her things are all set by Lord Belle, and Renshou Palace keeps another set.
Now that she heard her say that, Mother Qin was stunned and couldn't believe it.
Putting down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, Bogul was also a little startled: "Er Niang, didn't you say that you are not used to living in Baylor Mansion? My son is going out with the army, what are you---"
Suddenly thinking of what happened today, Bogul stood up and knelt down in a daze: "Er Niang, Er Niang, it's all Bogul's fault today, I'm confused, I'm messing around. You -- don't force yourself for the sake of your son ---"
Bogul knelt at Na Muzhong's feet, trembling with his hands on her knees.Na Muzhong leaned over and touched his head and laughed loudly: "Don't think about it, Er Niang just thinks it is more convenient and free outside the palace. You are going out, Er Niang just wants to accompany you more, and help you by the way Take care of your Fujin. She is always awake, and Er Niang is also in a hurry."
"Mother, you--"
Knowing that she was undoubtedly showing weakness to the one from the Compassionate Ning Palace, Na Muzhong smiled faintly and said bravely: "I just moved some commonly used things there, I will still come to this palace whenever I want, don't think about it!"
Hearing these words, Nanny Qin finally had a solid idea in her mind, she hurriedly walked out quietly, and ordered her palace servants to come.The concubine's actions today must have offended the queen mother, so it might be a good idea to back off a little at this moment.
But Bogul didn't talk too much, but said very seriously: "Er Niang moved there, my son has long wanted to live and eat with Er Niang every day."
When Na Muzhong heard what Bogul said, there was a smile in his eyes.But at this time, Bogul secretly vowed in his heart that he must make his mother-in-law come true in the future.
On October 12th of the lunar calendar in the [-]th year of Shunzhi, Bogul finally got his wish and was able to go out with the army.Also on this day, he got his hands dirty for the first time in his life.And still on this day, Yijing's great concubine Na Muzhong, who had always declared that she would die of old age in the palace, quietly moved out of the palace.
Na Muzhong moved out of the palace, although Fulin was surprised but didn't take it seriously.It's just that the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent more servants to serve them as usual, and gave some more supplements and utensils.
But Bumbutai who got the news from the Compassion Ning Palace was really in a good mood.Even a eunuch from Qianqing Palace came to report that the emperor was always discussing with the ministers about the abolition of the posthumous affairs, she just pretended to be ignorant.
Time flies, and a few days later, Daikin's gold award festival finally arrived.The Golden Festival is the day when the first emperor changed the family name from "Jurchen" to "Manchuria".
This day is very important to the Qing Dynasty, and the Ministry of Rites had already prepared related matters more than two months ago.
And the 49 Mongolian tribes, thousands of miles away, also specially sent people to congratulate them to participate in the three-day palace banquet in the palace.
On this day, the entire imperial palace was tidied up beautifully, and all kinds of lighting fixtures were replaced with new ones.All the floors in the palace were covered with brand-new red mats, and all the places that could be hung were covered with brightly colored silks. Even all the maids and eunuchs in the palace were put on new clothes.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs also sent the clothes and auspicious clothes for this day to the palaces and courtyards early, because it had already received Abu Wu Keshan's letter from Feige saying that it had sent her a gift.So today's Meng Guqing rarely showed a hearty smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Surrounded by several court ladies, he packed up and dressed for two full hours, waiting to wear a bright yellow robe embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons.When the queen, who was wearing a gown trimmed with stone blue gold-woven silk, came to her side, even Fulin was taken aback.
Meng Guqing, who was wearing a green ribbon on his chest, a collar with engraved gold jewels, and three plates of court beads on his collar, looked up at him as he slowly walked up.
Standing on the stone steps, I looked down at the queen who was wearing a crown of various pearls in the crown of Dongzhu Chengjinfeng, and wearing flower-soled shoes.Fulin had to admit that she was really beautiful. In fact, his cousin's appearance and aura were completely unmatched by other women in the palace.
But it's a pity that she happened to be his cousin, Horqin's princess, and Dorgon insisted on giving it to him.
Seeing Meng Guqing being supported by the maid and finally walking to the side step by step, maybe it was out of pity.Maybe just wanting to make her happy for the last time, Fulin stretched out his hand uncharacteristically.
Seeing his unexpected movements, Meng Guqing, who could only embarrassingly follow behind him every time on such occasions, froze for a moment.
Meng Guqing lowered her head slightly, the bright yellow silk ribbon hanging from the crown blocked the look in her eyes.Feeling strange for no reason, Fulin continued to hold his hand in front of her.
The palace servants standing beside Fulin and the people beside Meng Guqing were a little anxious, just when Fulin's heart was getting heavier and heavier and he was about to turn into anger from embarrassment.
The hand wearing the gold-encrusted Nine Dragons Playing Pearl Bracelet finally stretched out slowly, Meng Guqing was not used to wearing rings and finger cots.So without any hesitation, Fulin held Meng Guqing tightly with his tightly curved hands.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is here, and everyone will meet you---"
Seeing Fulin nodding at him, Wu Liangfu immediately informed him.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is here, and everyone will meet you---"
Not far away, the eunuchs were ordered to shout one after another.
Seeing that Meng Guqing straightened up in response to the sound, he nodded at her, and Fulin led her forward with big strides.
"Long live the emperor! Long live the empress!"
The palace bell in the Forbidden City rang, and the whip rang in front of it.Seeing Ji Le beside them, Fulin and Meng Guqing were in a daze.
Walking step by step towards the high platform in front of you, there are hundreds of officials kneeling down on the jade steps, and the shouts and excitement of the people outside the high palace wall.Let the two temporarily forget all the estrangement and suspicion, and put on the most appropriate smiles. At this moment, he is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and she is the mother of the Qing Dynasty.
Finally standing on the high wall outside the Daqing Gate, all the guards around it knelt down.
With Xiao Fulin and Meng Guqing looking at each other, they finally stepped forward hand in hand again.
"emperor!"
"It's the emperor and queen!"
"Long live! Long live!!"
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the queen!"
"All blessings to the emperor, and a thousand years to the empress!"
The outside of the Forbidden City was rarely open to the outside world, and was blocked by the emperor's personal guards wearing yellow armor one by one, and many Manchu people who heard the news went crazy.
Looking at each other and smiling, Fulin and Meng Guqing grabbed the colored paper brought by the palace servants around them and scattered them.
The colorful paper fluttering symbolizes happiness and peace, and everyone knelt down and stretched out their hands.As long as anyone receives it or gets it on their body, they will shout and show off excitedly.
The Golden Festival is the most important festival in the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the festival that all Manchus value most.And the blessing link is also indispensable in a year.
Xu Shi was infected by the smiling faces of the people outside the city wall, and Meng Guqing and Fulin laughed more and more vigorously.
"there!"
Smiling softly, Fulin reminded with a smile.
Grabbing the colored paper in his hand, Meng Guqing threw it down with a smile.
Due to safety issues, Fulin and Meng Guqing could only stand on it for half an hour.
When the two of them were smiling and holding hands, they held Meng Guqing's left hand which was stained with colored paper and slightly wet with sweat.Looking at her rare smile, and thinking of his next arrangement, Fulin struggled and couldn't bear it.
But soon he suppressed all the unbearable pity in his heart, and continued to lead Meng Guqing down calmly.
After the blessing ceremony, they will also go to meet the Mongolian princes and first- and second-rank ministers of the Outer Domain together, and give a palace banquet.
These are all arranged in the Hall of Preserving Harmony, waiting for the two of them to step up together.When they arrived at Baohe Hall, which was covered with yellow glazed tiles and painted with golden dragons and seals on the inner and outer eaves, all the important officials in the court were already kneeling and waiting there.
"Greetings to the emperor and queen, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the queen a thousand years ago."
All the Mongolian princes and ministers who had been arranged to sit inside all knelt down, and Meng Guqing subconsciously looked up to find his own people.
Seeing that she was absent-minded, Fulin pulled her and continued to move forward.
"Greetings to the emperor and queen!"
All the concubines, concubines, grandchildren and wives who were arranged not far from the throne came forward to pay their respects.
"Free gift!"
"Everyone get up!"
Fulin and Meng Guqing uttered their voices together, knowing that being watched by everyone could not make a mistake at this time, so Meng Guqing calmed down and smiled.
With a smile, he passed Bogul in front of him, and saw him standing beside the concubine who was dressed in azure auspicious mansion.The expression was wrong, and he made an upward gesture. Meng Guqing suddenly had a bad feeling.
The smile on his face remained the same, Meng Guqing was still gentle, and followed Fulin Rao and the people who came to worship and continued to move forward.
Gradually he moved forward and waited until there was no one in front of him, and after seeing clearly the scene on the five-story jade-stepped platform, beside the carved golden lacquer throne, Meng Guqing almost bit his lower lip to death.
"Queen?"
His hand was pressed, and he looked at the innocent Fulin beside him.Facing the empress dowager above and the woman sitting next to her who was a lot rounder due to pregnancy, Meng Guqing lowered his head, then raised his head and continued to move forward.
Stepping on the bright and clean gold bricks of the Palace of Preserving Harmony, it was only a few steps away, but in an instant, Meng Guqing thought back and forth many times.
The scene of her just getting married and accepting the worship of all the officials flashed before her eyes, and the scene of her being abolished as a queen and going to make a fuss in the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility, but was imprisoned.Flashing past the scene where she knew that Ama came to the capital to plead for her, and she couldn't see anyone because she was wronged and humiliated.
"I send my respects to the Queen's Mother, and the Queen's Mother is safe!"
Silently following Fulin to pay his respects, the Queen Mother's voice came from beside him, and the voice of the woman who shouldn't be here was also heard.
Taking a deep breath, Bumbutai sat down gently facing the indifference of the queen mother and Fulin against the eyes of countless people behind him.
There have always been only three thrones on the Hall of Preserving Harmony, and the Empress Dowager is in the middle, and she and Fulin are closely next to her on one left and one right.
Now there is an extra chair around the long sandalwood table in front of him, and the empress dowager and the emperor are seated in the middle.
The woman with a puffy stomach next to Fulin has no intention of moving to the side.If it was before, she would definitely make a fuss, and throw her down regardless.In the worst case, she will be driven to the right and let her come to the queen mother's side.Let her know what it means to be superior to the left and inferior to the right, and what is to respect the elders and the inferiors.
But now she could bear it no longer, she sat down lightly, turned around and swept the bottom lightly.Turning to face the empress dowager who was suddenly silent at this moment.
Meng Guqing reminded softly: "Emiang, is it time for the emperor to start!"
"Yeah!!!"
Squinting the corner of his eyes and saying yes a few times, Bumbutai quickly turned his head and said nonchalantly, "The emperor and all the princes are still waiting for you to speak?"
Taking a hard look at Meng Guqing opposite, Fulin nodded with difficulty, and then looked down.
Because the plan didn't come true, Fulin's face became ugly.But even so, he still read the congratulatory message prepared for him by the Ministry of Rites.
On the stage, Fulin was still talking, sitting at the nearest place on the jade steps.Looking at Meng Guqing, who was smiling but pale, Bogul felt relieved and distressed.
Although he thought his gaze was dark, Meng Guqing who was sitting on top and Na Muzhong who was sitting beside him still felt it.
What happened with the flower bouquet may be because the two of them had a secret together.Meng Guqing didn't ignore him like before, but instead showed him a smile of nothing to worry about.
Seeing his son clearly, just because of the smile of the woman above, he completely relaxed, and quickly lowered his head, Na Muzhong looked panicked and disbelieving.
Because Fulin was in a bad mood, he had an impatient look on his face.
Seeing the wind, the etiquette officials below hurriedly cut down the part of singing and dancing.Immediately went directly to the step of receiving the envoys of the princes.
"Chen Shang Zhixin, on the orders of my father, Shang Kexi, came here to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, the Empress. Although my father cannot come, I have prepared some Cantonese gadgets for the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager, please accept them! "
The young Shang Zhixin was the first to come up, and Fu Linmo said slowly: "Your father is in good health---"
"My minister, Mongolian Tumed Aba, pays respects to the emperor and the queen mother, and wishes the emperor to rule the world as soon as possible. The queen mother is getting younger and younger, and the queen is getting more and more beautiful."
"Chen Jingnan, the general under the throne---"
"The head of the Mongolian Kalaqin tribe ---"
The three vassal kings, as well as Koryo, which was brought down by the first emperor, all sent people over.The 49 Mongolian departments also came up first to pay their respects.
In fact, as Emperor Fulin, he had never seen anything, so from the vassal king down to the Mongolian patriarch, they all gave pictures of local specialties, which was strange.
Fulin was in a bad mood at first, seeing them endlessly, in the end he could hardly hold back his smile anymore.
Seeing him like this, Bumbutai could only take over, chat with everyone a few times and then read the reward list from the Ministry of Rites again.
Sitting at the bottom silently, listening to the words of his mother-in-law and the reckless man below.The bored Fulin looked at Meng Guqing opposite again.
If she gets angry today, he can take the opportunity to reprimand her.Then tell everyone in front of all the officials how domineering and domineering she is, how unsuitable he is, so that he can justifiably abolish her.
Feeling that Meng Guqing, who had been looking down, made it clear that he wanted to embarrass him, the expression on Fulin's face became more and more stinky.
"emperor--"
Seeing him looking at the queen opposite, Concubine Tong, who had been terrified since she sat in this position, finally couldn't help calling him softly.
Immediately putting on an expression of nothing to do, Fulin gently held Tong Layue's hand.He whispered: "It's okay, anyway, I'm useless---"
"Bir Tahar, the third son of Prince Horqin Zhuoliketu of Mongolia, send greetings to the Empress Dowager, the Empress!"
As soon as the familiar voice came out, Fulin immediately looked at his Er Niang and Meng Guqing who was opposite.
"Quick, get up!"
"Get up quickly!"
He never thought that Horqin would send him here, nor did he care why other people were listed on the list submitted by the Ministry of Etiquette.At this moment, these two women from the same family and the same surname both showed the same expression of surprise and surprise.
Standing below, a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a black Mongolian robe, looked up at the empress dowager who was also smiling.
"I, Abu, miss the Empress Dowager and the Empress very much, but he didn't care about his health in the early years, and now he really can't get up. I have no choice but to send my nephew to pay my respects to my aunt."
"Prince, what else can you tell me? How is my Yatu?"
Having not seen his family and daughter for three years, Bumbutai is really happy at the moment.
He looked at her, then at the silly younger sister who had been staring at him.Bil Tahar's voice was low: "Yatu is pregnant and in good health, but it's not convenient to come here. The father kept talking about being sorry for Daqing, his aunt and the emperor in Horqin, saying that he shouldn't pamper her too much just because he only has one daughter, so that he can't come here. As for letting her make trouble for the queen mother and the emperor. He also said that he is in poor health and the border has not been peaceful, otherwise he would definitely come to the capital to teach his daughter."
A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face, thinking that he had noticed her and Fulin's actions just now.Bumbutai suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Glancing at Fulin, Bumubutai immediately stretched out his hand to hold Meng Guqing's hands on his knees and said with a smile: "Prince and forehead son-in-law, please don't say that, my girls in Horqin are lively by nature, people in this world Who doesn't know. Our Qing'er is just a little more straightforward, as for---"
"As for other issues, you don't have to worry about it. Our empress is the empress dowager's niece and the emperor's cousin, and your Fujin is the empress dowager's daughter, so she will not treat the empress badly." Smiling, she raised her head and looked Looking at the young man standing in front of him, Na Muzhong continued: "Besides, the prince has worked hard for the Qing Dynasty all his life. There is no credit but also hard work. Our Mongolian daughters are all pampered. No one knows. Forehead, what do you want when you go back this time?" Tell the prince that as long as the queen mother is around, his precious daughter will definitely sit in the back seat and live in harmony with the emperor! Right? Sister, am I right?"
"Thank you, Concubine, for your relief!" Bil Tahar clasped his fists at Na Muzhong, and then looked at the empress dowager above.
This was the first conversation between the two since Na Muzhong moved out of the palace. I don't know why she said these words suddenly.Nodding his head, looking at his son and everyone in the audience, Bumbutai gritted his teeth with a smile and said, "Naturally, as long as the queen is safe and sound and does nothing wrong. The emperor and I will naturally treat her well. Is it the emperor?"
Unexpectedly, even the concubine who has always been very kind to him is helping outsiders now, Fulin can't sit still anymore.
Ignoring the furious eyes of his mother-in-law beside him, Fulin sneered loudly at his empress: "Empress now even calls you spoiled by uncle, as expected, I have not wronged you before, right? We just founded the Qing Dynasty , everything is in vain, so I advocate frugal living, but you--"
"I---
"Emperor Queen---" The voice dragged on for a long time, and Bumbutai said impatiently: "Don't talk about this kind of thing now, it's rare for everyone to come to the capital to see us. We should talk about something happy and get in touch with each other. , It is reasonable to eat, drink, and be lively. As for the small things between you and the queen, you can chat in private. Come to the forehead and sit down first, and we will talk later. Today is a good day left to us by the late emperor. How about a cup of respect to the first emperor?"
"Respect the late emperor!"
"Respect the late emperor, come!"
"The Empress Dowager is right. We should really respect the late Emperor on this festive day."
There are many smart people below, and they quickly raised their wine glasses to adjust the atmosphere.
After drinking a glass of wine, everyone quickly said auspicious words and respected the queen mother.
Knowing that he had angered the queen mother, Fulin's attitude afterwards was remarkable.Although he was still very angry, he still dealt with the ministers and princes who came up one by one with a solid smile.
In the chaos, Bogul also held a wine glass, sandwiched between Jidu, Doni and other young county kings, toasted the queen mother, the queen and the queen.
When changing clothes in the middle, Meng Guqing carefully stuffed a small ball of paper into his hand.
She thought it was her brother's handwriting, but when she opened it and saw the handwriting inside, Meng Guqing knew that she was overthinking it.Although his elder brother can know some Chinese characters, he certainly can't write in such a fair way.
"That is?"
When returning to the outer hall, before Meng Guqing asked further, Qiao Xin smiled and said: "Master, do you mean the wine stains on the servant's body? It was just when I came up to toast with Lord Baylor, I accidentally bumped into it and rubbed it on me!"
Boguer is the only one in the palace who calls Lord Baylor directly, and he has already got what he wants.Meng Guqing glanced at the palace servants on the left and right, frowned and said, "Who asked you this, I just want to ask who is that in front?"
Standing not far in front was a woman in golden auspicious attire, she knew without thinking that it was the one from Jingren Palace.Qiaoxin smiled but said nothing, a palace maid beside her immediately said cautiously: "Mistress Qi, in front is Concubine Tong of Jingren Palace."
"Oh!" Looking at the front coldly, Meng Guqing went straight forward.
Tong Layue, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Meng Guqing passing by as if she hadn't even seen her, and quickly knelt down and whispered: "Layue pays respects to sister queen!"
Slowly evoked a strange smile, looked around and Meng Guqing taunted loudly: "You are such a noble master, you can be equal to me, now you don't want to do this, right? And in this place Kneel down, what are you in the mood for?"
His face turned pale all of a sudden, thinking of nobleman Jin who died in the pool outside Kunning Palace a few days ago, and thinking of what the queen mother said just now.Tong Layue hurriedly said: "Sister, don't blame Layue, okay? Layue is forced to do so today, and she can't help herself. Sister, please believe that Layue absolutely has no other thoughts and dare not think about it."
"is it?"
Turning his head to look at her with a half-smile, seeing that she was about to cry, Meng Guqing immediately turned inward impatiently.
Today's royal chefs in the imperial dining room showed their best performance, and they brought in exquisite dishes one after another.
Everyone naturally ate and drank to save face, and then came up one by one to thank the empress dowager.
Halfway through the palace banquet, everyone finally turned the topic to the Fujian war.
After everyone denounced Zheng Chenggong one by one, they couldn't help talking about the general Jidu this time.
Being guided by the Queen Mother, this topic turned to military pay and finances. Knowing his mother's plan, Fulin quickly said: "The court and China have been at constant war for these years. Zheng Chenggong in Fujian, Ming Yongli in Yunnan, Xiao Xiao in Guizhou The imperial court can’t solve it overnight. Every time the imperial court sends troops to go out, it’s definitely not enough without a few million military pay.”
As soon as the young emperor complained, everyone present immediately understood that today's palace banquet was not for nothing.
No one expressed his opinion immediately, Bumubutai raised the handkerchief in his hand and wiped his lips and said leisurely: "Everyone is responsible for the prosperity of the country. I can't stay out of it. From today onwards, all expenses in the palace will be halved. It can't save much, but there is a One hundred thousand is also a wish."
"I don't want my salary this year, to support the emperor's fight against Fujian."
A Mongolian prince yelled from below. In fact, no one in Mongolia really lived on a mere [-] salary, and someone immediately yelled.
Seeing that the emperor and the queen mother looked at each other three times, they knew that they wanted to start from there, so many princes and princes in Manchuria also echoed loudly.
"I donated 1 taels to support---"
"I will offer 2 taels, and I hope the army can win the battle!"
……
Everyone's voices became louder and louder, and the goal was reached. Bu Mu Butai immediately said, "The emperor and I understand the wishes of all the adults. Except for a few princes, the others don't need to spend money, as long as they have their hearts."
Doing this in advance is just a preparation for the legitimate reduction of the salary three times in the future, what is the seal of the prince Baylor in the middle of the court?
The annual salary in Yunnan is more than 2000 million taels, plus the salaries of the other two Guangdong and Fujian feudal vassals, the annual salary of nearly [-] million taels should be adjusted.
Fulin and Bumbutai, who felt that the time was right, just wanted to put this topic away immediately.The queen who had been silent by their side stood up suddenly.
"Emiang, Your Majesty, I also want to do my best for our Qing soldiers." Ignoring Fulin's surprise and the Queen Mother's doubts.
Meng Guqing turned around and looked down and said loudly: "I have been spoiled by Abu and my elder brother since I was a child, and the things I use are all gorgeous and expensive. Now that the emperor and the queen mother just mentioned the frontier soldiers, I realize how incompetent I am. "
Everyone below started whispering, even Meng Guqing's brother was surprised.
Pretending to be shy and looking down at His Majesty the Emperor, Meng Guqing raised his head again and said softly: "It is inconvenient for me to take out the things in the palace, but I asked Abu to raise a few for me in Horqin Palace. All the hard-earned BMWs should be useful, but I don’t know how many are still available today?”
Unexpectedly, she would mention this suddenly, and her heart was bleeding, Bil Tahar immediately said: "The queen's ranch should be able to pick out [-] cavalry now."
Everyone was shocked, even Bumbutai was a little surprised.Because she never knew that Horqin had so many horses besides the soldiers and horses she knew, and ten thousand was not a small number.
Seemingly understanding what she was thinking, Meng Guqing turned his head and said with a smile: "Abu has given this ranch to the child since he was a child. If the emperor and Er Niang hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten about it."
"Really?" Fulin was speechless, and Bumbutai looked at Meng Guqing with more scrutiny.
"Your Majesty, the horses on the prairie are the most suitable for fighting. Such a big gift from the Queen is more important than how much silver."
Ji Du, who was most concerned about this battle, was the first to stand up and get excited.
The Qing Dynasty was conquered on horseback, and Fulin naturally knew the key to it.Although there were 1 reluctances in his heart, he still said quietly: "In this case, I will thank the Queen for her generosity on behalf of the Eight Banners."
Shaking his head slightly, as if he was embarrassed, Meng Guqing said meekly and politely against Fulin's unwilling expression: "My Majesty, I am the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, and this is all my duty, please don't be polite."
As if he didn't see that Fulin's face darkened all of a sudden, he turned his head to face Meng Guqing below and said leisurely: "Just now I saw that Boguer Belle said that he would donate 2 taels of silver, and his one-year salary for a little Lord Belle is not enough. It's only 500 taels, and 2 taels would be his salary for eight years!"
Everyone was stunned and wondered why she suddenly mentioned Bogul, even Bogul who was sitting was a little surprised, and Na Muzhong was even more concerned.
Without the slightest hesitation, Meng Guqing continued: "Bogul is only thirteen this year, and I also know that Concubine Toffee has no savings and likes to do good deeds. So the 2 taels donated by Lord Belle should be from his childhood. All savings."
"Queen---" Knowing that she couldn't go on, Bumbutai immediately coughed lightly.
He didn't care about her, and Meng Guqing, who always knew how to repay her kindness, said with a moved face: "He is a child of the first emperor's heir, and he knows that he will do everything for the Qing Dynasty. My cousin, sister-in-law, who is three years older than him How can I be really indifferent. So except for my horse in Horqin, I plan to take out all the dowry that Ama gave me in my hand, and hope that King Jian will return home without any worries during this trip."
The author has something to say: I really can't find out the silver taels in the palace, so I wrote it all based on estimates, and please try not to research it.
In ancient times, there was no such name for the Golden Festival, so it cannot be verified!
