Chapter 66 The Emperor of Love
After coming out of Cining Palace dejectedly, Fu Lin finally understood a truth: In this world, the emperor is not the biggest, the biggest is etiquette.
Before he returned to the Ganqing Palace, Fulin made up his mind: "If it is not clear, it will be dark. We must not let Wan'er marry Boguoer. If he can't even protect his beloved woman, it would be fine if the emperor didn't do it."
Then he thought: "The reason why my mother didn't let me take Wan'er as a concubine is because she was afraid that I would spoil her too much and neglect the queen. Humph, what if I neglect it? Isn't it because she is your niece? You just think of your niece, don't think about your son? Eighty thousand horses are important, or is your son's mood important? Let your son be unhappy for life, and even if you have thousands of miles of land, what's the fun of being born?"
"I did a great job. I actually pointed Wan'er at Boguoer, letting my brothers and sisters restrain me so that I can't force myself. Hum, what about Boguoer? As long as he dares to steal women from me, I will humiliate him in person! Hum, I have been cuckolding you long ago, you can pretend not to know. If I cuckold you in person, can you stand it?!"
Fulin thought hatefully while walking. When he returned to the Ganqing Palace, his idea was also made.
Unfolding a piece of rice paper, lifting up the red pen, pondering for a moment, and recording a song by Cen Shen's "Spring Dream":
"The spring breeze in the bridal chamber last night, and I remember the beauty of Xiangjiang River. I spent a moment on my pillow in the spring dream and walked thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River."
After writing, the title was stamped with seals, and he was called Wu Liangfu.
"Wu Liangfu!"
"I'm here!"
"You go to Eshuo Mansion and give this poem to Wan'er, and tell her that I cannot let the Empress Dowager take it back and let her wait patiently for a while, and I will definitely welcome her into the palace."
"Yeah!"
Wu Liangfu kowtowed, received the order, and went to Eshuo Mansion to pass the order with his personal letter with Yu Xiao.
...
Since then, Fulin has been tormented by two emotions, one is his resentment towards his mother and the other is his deep longing for Dong Xiaowan.
These two emotions were intertwined, leaving him with no smile on his face.
I went to Cining Palace to pay my respects a lot every day, but there was a great gap between the mother and the son, and the natural sense of intimacy disappeared.
Boulbutai saw it in his eyes, but he was angry in his heart, but he could do nothing.
I thought to myself: "They love the Xin Jueluo family, and they are all in love. As long as they like the woman they like, they must get it. I just hope that the queen can let the emperor calm down after the wedding."
...
On May 13th, at the time of Chen, the Ganqing Palace in Beijing.
Fulin and the four auxiliary ministers were discussing politics. Fulin sat in Sumeru throne expressionlessly, Sony, Ebilong, Suksaha, and Fan Wencheng knelt down below.
"The emperor was heard from the emperor, and the slave received a tip. Zhu Youlang had already returned to Nanjing after his personal expedition to Sichuan. After hearing that he returned to Beijing, he immediately started to prepare two things. One was the scientific examination, and he planned to skip the provincial examination and the imperial examination in August; the other was to prepare for military service in Jiangnan." Sony heard.
"It's impossible to use troops? He skipped the provincial examination and showed that there was a shortage of people and was in a hurry to seek medical treatment. If no one was an official, what could he do if he conquered Jiangbei? Moreover, he had been fighting and had not recuperated and moved the capital, how much silver did he spend? According to my estimate, his treasury had been empty, but he was unwilling to increase taxes and pay. Where did he get the silver to fight? Could it be that he went to Sichuan and got the silver?" Fan Wencheng said.
"How is that possible? Although Sichuan is known as the country of Tianfu, Zhang Xianzhong has scraped the land for more than three feet a few years ago. Sichuan people are not covered in clothes, can't eat enough to feed, and are hungry. They only have the money to spend, so how can they get the money for him?" Ebilong continued.
"What I mean. However, the tips show that the army has indeed mobilized its direction. Is Zhu Youlang really going to march into Jiangbei? The emperor, the servant thinks that Zhu Youlang cannot be constantly ruled, and should be ordered to strengthen the guard against being ambushed by the Ming army." Sony said.
"Sony, did you just explain that the army has been mobilized?" Fulin asked indifferently.
He frowned, not knowing whether he was worried when he heard the news that the Ming army was about to advance, or had other concerns.
"When I replied to the emperor, I received a tip that Li Dingguo had set out from Nanjing and his left army was moving from Jiangxi to Hunan. At the same time, Wu Sangui came to report that Ai Nengqi seemed to have the intention to march into Xi'an in Hanzhong." Sony said.
"Keep paying close attention to Li Dingguo's movements. If his left army uses troops to me, he will definitely go north from Xiangyang to take Nanyang. Let Nanyang guards send more spies to see if Li Dingguo wants to enter Xiangyang." Fulin said.
"Wait." Sony responded.
"Your Majesty, I think that if the Ming army goes north from Nanyang, it is unlikely that it will attack at this time." Fan Wencheng replied.
"Why?" Fulin asked.
"Your Majesty, the Yellow River is about to reach Fushuang. According to previous experience, the Yellow River has been in a ten-year breaking process for nine years. If you march at this time, wouldn't it be just right to catch up with Fushuang? If the Yellow River really broke, even if it had a powerful firearm, it would be difficult for him to escape from the muddy land." Fan Wencheng said.
When he heard this, not only Fulin, but also Sony, Ebilon and Suksaha were all lit up.
"Mr. Fan's words are amazing! If Li Dingguo does not attack Henan, it will be fine. If he attacks Henan, we can show that the enemy is weak and pretend to retreat to the north bank of the Yellow River. When it chases the Yellow River, if the Yellow River does not break, we can also let it break!" Sony said it was wonderful when he slapped his high-high.
"Yes, Lord Fan's idea is very clever." Ebilong and Suksaha nodded repeatedly.
"Sir, no. During the flood season, the Yellow River breaks, and it is impossible to break the mouth of the Yellow River. It is not possible for human power. If the Yellow River is broken by man, the people in Henan will suffer. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. If the hearts of the people are lost, it is even more terrible than the collapse of the Yellow River embankment." Fan Wencheng's original intention was not to destroy the enemy. Although this could cause huge casualties to the Ming army, many people would also drown.
If this matter is spread, the reputation of cruelty will be lost.
"Mr. Fan, you are too pedantic. In the past, Guan Yu flooded the seven armies, captured Yu Jin and killed Pang De, but did not get a reputation for being brave and resourceful." Sony retorted.
"Master Suo, Guan Yu did not break the dike and release water, but caused the flood to cause floods. Yu Jin-Pang De was trapped in it and was attacked by Guan Yu on a boat." Fan Wencheng said.
"Master Fan, soldiers are a clever way, and they should not be confused. The Ming army is powerful. If they can recite the Buddha's name to death after eating vegetarian food, I would rather become a monk. But I cannot. When the Ming army killed my Qing warriors, I did not feel any sympathy. This matter was settled like this. If the Ming army attacked Henan, I would follow this plan." Fulin did not let Fan Wencheng continue and made a decision directly.
"Yes, the slave is too pedantic." Fan Wencheng stopped talking after hearing the emperor's idea.
However, he reported another incident: "Emperor, I have a memorial here, which is the silver cost for the emperor's wedding listed in the Ministry of Rites. Please check it out."
