"Your Highness," Qian Qianyi, the Minister of Rites, knew that his student had big ideas and never listened to him, so he stopped trying to persuade him and just reminded him, "We are still discussing marriage with the Tartars! If we set up Governor Liaodong and Dongjiang Town, do you still want to discuss this marriage?"
"Discuss!" Zhu Cixiang smiled, "Why not discuss it? But...since we have broken up, then Dongguo Gege is not suitable to be the princess. The princess is the future queen, and she cannot let the enemy's county The Lord will do it, what do you think?"
What? If Dongguo Gege is not the Crown Princess, then who will be the Crown Princess?
Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu immediately became energetic. They knew that although Wu Sanmei's belly was not up to par, Zhu Cixiang still only loved her... The father and son immediately nodded in agreement and looked at Zhu Cixiang expectantly.
As soon as the two of them took the lead, others followed suit - no one wanted to offend the future queen, father-in-law and uncle!
However, Zhu Cixiang did not mention the question of who would be the crown prince at all. He smiled and said: "Donggu Gege is not suitable to be the crown prince of this palace, but she can still be the concubine!"
At this moment, the courtiers in the Wenhua Palace were stunned - the only daughter of the Regent of the Qing Dynasty will be your little wife? Do you really think of yourself as Emperor Taizu Gao?
Zhu Cixiang looked at a group of stunned ministers and smiled: "Let's talk about the marriage, let's discuss it, let's talk about it if it works... Even if the talks fall apart, Dorgon will be angry, maybe he will be angry to death! "
Can it make Dorgon angry to death? The ministers in the Wenhua Hall didn't know what to say for a moment. What is Zhu Cixiang planning? It was impossible to anger Dorgon to death. At most, he would anger this big tiger from Manchuria.
If Dorgon is angry, the consequences will be serious, right?
...
If Dorgon was angered, the consequences would definitely be severe. Although Zhu Cihong and his ministers couldn't feel it for a while, Zukefa, who was ordered to negotiate with Dorgon, was almost scared to death. .
In the end, it was Ren Yizhou, the deputy envoy stationed at the Haisha Island Family Council, who tried to persuade him. He also promised that if Zu Kefa never returned, he would help him take care of his wife and children. Zukfa then bravely went to Beijing, and finally appeared in Wuying Palace in the Forbidden City with tears in his eyes.
In fact, Zukefa didn't dare not go, what else could he do? Rebellion and surrender to the enemy to become a minister? Dorgon won't accept him! He is one of the four ministers, and if he surrenders once more, he will be the fifth minister... It costs food to keep such a person, and he must be an official! What impression does it give you? What happened to the Qing Dynasty when they couldn't find anyone to be an official? They had to have one of the five ministers to be an official?
You can't rebel, and you can't return to the Ming Dynasty. Then where can his ancestors survive? Go back to your hometown in Liaodong and work anonymously as a hunter or farmer? Zukefa had been an official for so many years and was used to enjoying it, so he couldn't bear the hardship.
That's why Zu Kefa went to Beijing with a sense of luck. Maybe Dorgon wouldn't kill him when he got angry. Didn't he not kill him last time... But when he walked into Wuying Hall, he saw the yawning The little emperor Shunzhi and Dorgon, who looked gloomy (actually Dorgon was quite happy, not gloomy at all), immediately regretted it and couldn't stop crying.
Dorgon looked at Zukefa like this, frowned and asked: "Zukefa, what's going on with you? Why are you crying? Is there a death in the family?"
Zu Kefa wiped away his tears: "Hui, to the regent, yes, the official is about to die..."
"Ah, what's wrong with you?" Dorgon looked at Zukefa carefully. He didn't look like he was sick!
"Sick of heart!"
"Humph, your conscience is eaten by dogs, right?"
"I should have died long ago..."
"Who told you to surrender?"
"Have a good death!"
"Even if you die, you will be infamy for thousands of years!"
A group of Manchu ministers were also unkind. Zukfa was about to die, and they did not offer any comfort. They continued to ridicule him.
On the contrary, Emperor Shunzhi, who was sitting on the throne as a puppet, sympathized with Zukefa - this uncle was about to die, and he was laughed at by Uncle Dorgon and the uncles in the Manchu Dynasty. These uncles and uncles were too unkind... ....
Seeing that everyone (ignoring Shunzhi) was gloating about his misfortune, Zuke Fa regretted his death, so he shouldn't have come to Beijing... He is better now, but he is dead.
He sighed and cried: "Your Majesty, I have misunderstood. I am not sick."
"You're not sick?" Dorgon was stunned. "You're not sick. Why do you have to work and die?"
"Because, because, because..."
"Say it!" Dorgon was a little impatient, "Zukefa, why are you such a grown man so unlucky?"
Zukefa shook his head, "Your Majesty, I told you, you are going to kill me!"
Dorgon was stunned, "What nonsense are you talking about? Am I such an unreasonable person? Speak quickly, tell me, I promise not to kill you!"
Really? Is this guaranteed to count?
Zukefa couldn't help it. Everyone else had arrived in the Forbidden City. He also had Zhu Cihong's autographed letter to Dorgon with him, so he could still turn around and leave.
"Your Majesty, this is an autographed letter from my Crown Prince. He, he, he feels that the Prince's family is not suitable for being a Crown Princess..."
"What?" Dorgon's face suddenly darkened, "What does he mean? He doesn't like the king's daughter?"
"No, no, no," Zukofa broke into cold sweat on his forehead and held up Zhu Cixi's autographed letter with trembling hands, "His Royal Highness, you still like Gege very much..."
"What does he mean?" Dorgon was confused. His confidant He Luohui stepped forward to take the envelope, tore it open and took out the letter paper inside. Not finding anything wrong, he handed it to Dorgon with both hands.
At this time, Zukefa took a sharp breath and finally said the fatal words: "His Royal Highness just thinks that Gege cannot be the main concubine. He wants Gege to be the concubine..."
"What? When, when I become a concubine..." Dorgon almost didn't believe his ears, nor did he believe Zukefa's words. He quickly lowered his head to read the letter. The letter was written by Zhu Cixiang himself. It was written in vernacular and was easy to read.
In the letter, Zhu Cihong told Dorgon that he could not marry Dongguo Gege as the crown prince because of the seven evil policies of the Qing Dynasty: enclosure, house occupation, surrender, shaving, fleeing people, massacres and hair hills. . Because the world will not recognize the daughter of a very evil person as the queen! However, he still hopes that Dong Ge Ge will become a concubine, and he also promises to treat Dong Ge Ge well and make her happy throughout her life... To put it more simply, you, the regent, are a bad guy, and the daughter of a bad guy cannot be the Empress of the Ming Dynasty. , I can only be a little wife to Prince Zhu!
"Asshole! Asshole bastard...Zhu Cixi is a bastard bastard!" Dorgon became furious after reading the letter. While tearing the letter into pieces, he ordered Zukefa and the little emperor Shunzhi to They all roared in fear.
"Zhu Cixiang, this treacherous boy, how dare you tease me!" Dorgon roared angrily, "How dare you say that I am a very evil person..."
You are the bad guy! Emperor Shunzhi, who was sitting behind Dorgon, thought to himself: Zhu Cixiang is absolutely right, you are the worst bad person...
Dorgon was still roaring: "He, he dared to ask me to give his daughter to him as his mistress. He, he, he bullied others too much! It really, really pissed me off, wow..."
Die quickly, die quickly, die quickly... Emperor Shunzhi looked at Dorgon's back with hopeful eyes.
Dorgon was panting rapidly, his sallow face turned red, his eyes were almost bleeding, and he really looked like he was going to explode with anger. No one in the hall dared to say anything, and Zukefa was so frightened that he knelt down before Dorgon - Dorgon couldn't reach Zhu Cixi now, but killing him was just a matter of words.
However, the rage of the Regent of the Qing Dynasty did not last long. The blood on his face quickly faded and returned to a sallow appearance. His breathing became even and he laughed: "Hahaha , Okay, okay...he is indeed a hero in troubled times!
Not to mention insidious and cunning, he is also quite thick-skinned. He was the one who broke the contract first, yet he beat me up and shamelessly asked my princess to make him smaller. It was really shameless to the extreme! "
