Great Qing Xiangguo

Chapter 27

The old man said: "Yes, Prince Rui Dorgon assisted the first emperor Shunzhi, it can be said that he devoted himself to death and died. But after the person died, he was confiscated from the title of nobility, and the tablets were all withdrawn from the ancestral temple. Everyone in the world knows that Dorgon It’s just that I dare not say it! If someone is ambitious and really wants to usurp, it will end badly.”

Chen Tingjing said: "Lord Aobai has repeatedly shown his kindness to me, but I really don't want to get too close to him. Among the four auxiliary ministers, Lord Aoboi is ranked last. But his temperament is to be the first in everything, it is inevitable Make enemies on all sides. I guess the four auxiliary ministers will be the most unlucky one in the future!"

The old man said: "Oboi's ancestors have made great achievements for generations, and he himself has experienced hundreds of battles. He is extremely brave and has outstanding military achievements. Based on these alone, he will not look down on other people. Just because of his rude temper, he has been impeached many times. Otherwise, his status would have been higher than other ministers."

Chen Tingjing said: "What I'm worried about is that he will ignore the emperor in the end."

The emperor felt that the life in Hongde Palace was very difficult, but in a blink of an eye he was already ten years old.At this time, the emperor was quite sensible, so he didn't want to get angry with his masters.On this day, Obai entered Qianqing Palace and went straight to Hongde Hall in Xitou.Zhang Shande has grown to fifteen or sixteen years old, already as tall as an adult.Seeing Oboi coming, he hurriedly said: "Master Fuchen, please wait first, and wait for this servant to report to the emperor!"

Ao Bai stared sideways, Zhang Shande backed away in fright.The eunuchs were afraid and bowed their heads to get out of the way.Wo He who was standing at the gate of the hall saw him, stepped forward to stop Oboi and said, "Master Fuchen, please wait a moment!"

Aobai slapped Wohe with his palm, and said: "I want to see the emperor, do you need your permission?"

Wohe's eyes were swollen, and he didn't dare to rub his hands. He lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency, you are the assistant minister, the minister who leads the guards, and the rules that the servant knows are all taught by you!"

Aobai shouted: "I have taught you, but no one has taught me!"

Suo'etu suddenly rushed out from the Hongde Hall and shouted: "Who is making noise outside?" Seeing that it was Oboi, he hurriedly cupped his hands, "Ah, it turns out that it is the Fuchen Lord! You are so presumptuous! Why are you in Fufu?" Disrespectful in front of my lord! Hurry up and report to the emperor, the assistant minister Oboi will see you!"

At this time Zhou Ruhai ran out in a hurry and shouted: "Ao Bai, Minister of the Assistant Government, see you!"

Obai entered the hall, knelt down and bowed: "The minister, Obai pays his respects to the emperor!"

The emperor knew that it was Oboi who was making noise outside, but he just pretended not to hear it, and said: "Oboi, you don't need to be polite, get up and sit down. You are my old minister, and I promise you that you don't have to bow down in the future."

Obai heard this, and said: "I thank the emperor for your kindness. I have been fighting for many years, and I have many old wounds on my body. It is very difficult to kneel when I am old."

Wei Xiangshu, Chen Tingjing and Gao Shiqi all bowed to Aobai, saying that they had seen the minister.Obai looked around, seeing that the guards didn't salute him, he was very unhappy.

The emperor said: "Oboi, you are working hard on state affairs all day long. I am tired of studying all day long, but thinking of you working so hard, I am not afraid of hardship."

Obai said: "The old minister has nothing else to do, but he hasn't seen the emperor for a few days, and he misses him very much. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding! Someone outside said that the old minister doesn't care about the emperor at all, and he hasn't paid his respects to the emperor for many days. The old minister kowtowed to the emperor today , only Master Wei, Chen Tingjing and Gao Shiqi saw it, and none of these children saw it!"

Suo'etu panicked immediately, and hurriedly instructed his left and right: "You really have no rules, meet your lord Fuchen soon!"

Only then did the guards bow their hands and salute, saying that they had seen the minister!After all the emperor was young, seeing Oboi felt a little scared, his chest couldn't help beating.Aobai said again: "Master Wei, the emperor is young and studies hard. Please take it easy. The emperor wants to relax, so you can serve the emperor and have fun."

Wei Xiangshu said: "Your Majesty studied hard, and he didn't relax when he practiced riding and shooting."

Aobai smiled and said: "The old minister can rest assured. The old minister hopes that the emperor will finish his studies soon, then the old minister can return to his hometown, raise a few horses, herd a few sheep, and live a leisurely life."

But the emperor said: "Oboi must not have such thoughts. My emperor's grandmother said that the four auxiliary ministers are all close relatives of the Aixinjueluo family. This family needs your help to look after it!"

Ao Bai kowtowed: "I thank the emperor for his trust in the old ancestors. I am very grateful! The emperor just concentrate on studying, and I will leave."

The emperor shouted: "Suo'etu, send off the assistant minister."

Suo'etu sent Aobai out of the Hongde Palace, the guards and eunuchs only slightly bowed their heads.Aobai stood still, his eyes swept around.Suo'etu hurriedly said: "You are so rude! Send off to your lord!" The guards and eunuchs had to shout in unison to send you off to your lord.Only then did Oboi snort, and strode away.Suo'etu looked back and saw Zhang Shande behind him, so he whispered something to him.Zhang Shande was shocked when he heard the words, and shook his head in fright.

Wei Xiangshu saw that the emperor was really frightened just now, so he said: "Your Majesty, let's finish reading the book today. How about please wait for the emperor to ride a horse?"

The emperor said: "My lord assistant is afraid that I will suffer from studying hard, but he has to work harder to deal with state affairs. Master Wei, let's continue with the new book."

Suo'etu winked at Zhang Shande.Zhang Shande just pretended not to see it, and still stood there numbly.Suo Etu glared at him, Zhang Shande then stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Oboi said he came to visit the Emperor, but he is roaring and making noise here, which is very disrespectful!"

But Suo'etu immediately scolded: "Slave, how dare you deliberately provoke the emperor and the auxiliary ministers!" It turned out that Zhang Shande's words were taught to him by Suo'etu, but he came to scold him again.

Zhang Shande was terrified, and quickly knelt down, saying: "This servant deserves to die! But this servant is afraid that the emperor will frighten me, so I really can't stand it!"

The emperor smiled and said: "Is it easy to scare you? You all think too much, and the ministers are all for my own good. Chen Tingjing, I heard that you were recommended by Aobai. Tell me that I am going to Riding a horse, or reading?"

Chen Tingjing said: "Back to the emperor, reading, riding and shooting are very important. Now the emperor wants to study, so read."

The emperor said: "Master Wei, I'm according to you. I won't talk about new books right now. But I don't want to ride a horse either. I just want to hear some historical anecdotes. Let Chen Tingjing talk about it."

Wei Xiangshu nodded and said: "Follow the emperor's will. History is very important for governing the country."

Chen Tingjing said: "The minister obeys the order. I don't know if the minister is talking about it at will, or the emperor wants to know some anecdotes."

The emperor said, "Tell me about Wang Mang!"

Wei Xiangshu was startled, and said: "Your Majesty, this historical event is complicated, and it won't be too late to talk about it in a few years."

The emperor said: "In the past dynasties, there have been many emperors and ministers, but I am not interested in many, and there are even fewer monarchs and ministers worthy of careful consideration. Although I am young, I have heard of Wang Mang. I just want to hear Chen Tingjing carefully say Talk about Wang Mang."

Wei Xiangshu said: "Your Majesty, we will talk about this historical event in a few years, can you talk about something else today?"

Gao Shiqi suffered a lot last time, but just stood there silently.

The emperor said: "It's really strange! I want to hear the story of Wang Mang, but you seem to be jealous of something. Do you still have Wang Mang by my side? Chen Tingjing, tell me!"

Chen Tingjing was very embarrassed and looked at Wei Xiangshu.Wei Xiangshu said: "Chen Tingjing, the emperor wants to hear it, so you can talk about it."

Chen Tingjing was still hesitant, and it took him a long time to start talking: "In the last years of the Western Han Dynasty, there were many powerful people in the world, there were many cronies in the court, and foreign relatives scrambled for power. The country was in great danger. Wang Mang was a capable minister. Liu Yan. However, Wang Mang is not only a capable minister, but also a traitor. He took the opportunity to assassinate Emperor Ping Liu Yan, helped the two-year-old Ruziying to be the emperor, and took charge of the court by himself. After less than three years of regent, he simply pulled Ruziying from the throne , enthroned himself."

The emperor asked: "How old was Liu Yan, Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, when he was killed?"

Chen Tingjing said: "14 years old!"

Unexpectedly, the emperor asked again: "I am ten years old this year, how many years will it be before I turn 14?"

When the emperor asked this question, he immediately fell to his knees in front of him.Wei Xiangshu repeatedly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, if these words are spread today, people will be killed! The first to bear the brunt is the old minister. The old minister's life is like a piece of grass, and death is not a pity. It's just that if these words are used by traitors, they will inevitably endanger Harmony between the monarch and his subjects will lead to great disaster!"

The emperor asked: "Master Wei is afraid that someone will kill me before I am 14 years old?"

Suo'etu shouted: "Chen Tingjing is really damned!"

Although Chen Tingjing was afraid, but since he said it, he had to say it thoroughly, otherwise it would be a crime, so he said: "Your Majesty, although what I said just now is a historical fact, I don't agree with the knowledge in it. Since the Emperor asks, I will Feel free to speak your mind!"

Wei Xiangshu anxiously said: "Ting Jing, stop talking!"

Chen Tingjing said: "Tingjing is the one who does things and the other is responsible, and has nothing to do with Master Wei! Wang Mang is unfaithful, but the reason why he dared to usurp the Han is because of the cowardice and incompetence of Emperor Han Ping! History has a terrible reincarnation. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiuguang restored Han However, in less than 200 years, Cao Cao appeared again. Cao Cao was also called a traitor by the world, but if Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie was not weak and deceitful, how could Cao Cao dare to be rebellious?"
