Raiders of the favorite concubine of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 12 The Beginning of the Struggle

The ordinary days pass quickly, and the weather has turned to the hottest time. Although there is no greenhouse effect, the summer is still too hot for me. I miss the short-sleeved hot pants of modern civilization, but I can’t help it now. Can wear obscene clothes and trousers, and there are light clothes outside.It has been more than two months since I came here. I didn't deliberately calculate it. It was my aunt who reminded me on time. Although the medicine is usually very bitter, this time the abdominal pain is not as severe as before. It is true that good medicine tastes bitter.I've been in the imperial study for a while, and I've pretty much got a feel for the temper of my immediate boss, Si Fulin.In fact, Fulin's temper is really good. A few times I dozed off while rubbing ink, and the ink splashed on his clothes with a shaking of my hand. He just stared at me, maybe he didn't have time to pay attention to me. Didn't settle accounts with me either.Recently, Fulin doesn’t have so many government affairs. In his spare time, he would occasionally practice calligraphy and painting, and sometimes he would ask me how I am. Of course, I am good at writing and painting, good except for the emperor!He can't speak high-level words like that, so he usually just asks, and he probably doesn't care what I answer.But recently, I feel that the atmosphere has become more and more strange. I can't say why, but I feel that he is not so calm when the government affairs are free. To put it bluntly, I always feel that it is the calm before the storm.

This afternoon, I felt that the weird atmosphere was overwhelming me. During lunch, I could feel Fulin’s carelessness, and his solemn expression deepened day by day. I wondered in my heart that the emperor should be moody. Is it for sex?And he was clearly wary of me before, why did he reveal his temperament?
"Wan Shi, what do you think of the Guanyin statue I drew?"

I put down the memorial that I was sorting out, and walked to him. This is the tenth Avalokitesvara he has painted recently. He would start to paint Avalokitesvara every time he felt restless. I thought he might want to Get rid of your own distracting thoughts and external disturbances.Avalokitesvara, watch the sounds of the world. "Good man, if there are countless hundreds of thousands of millions of sentient beings who suffer from various afflictions and hear the name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and single-mindedly call his name, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva will immediately observe his voice, and they will all be liberated." I remembered a sentence in a scripture I read before, so Speak up.

Fulin took a deep look at me, seemingly surprised or delighted, he put down the Avalokitesvara statue in his hand, and kept it in the picture album, "I heard that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva can see that all five aggregates are empty, and overcome all hardships. I wonder if I can also get rid of my troubles."

"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that sincerity leads to spiritual success. With such sincerity, the emperor will surely be able to resolve worries and doubts." I looked at Fulin and said solemnly.I am not the most devout Buddhist believer, but if I were to talk about my beliefs, I would definitely answer Buddhism.From childhood, the roots of Buddha nature have been deeply established.When I was the most confused and helpless, I would go to a nearby temple, take a stick of incense, and walk quietly through every Buddhist temple, always feeling that there is a force that can sustenance my confusion.

"What is sincerity?" Fulin asked calmly, I couldn't tell whether he was asking me or testing me.

"There is a Buddha in my heart."

After I finished answering this sentence, Fulin was silent for a long time.Then he said, "Servant Wan, follow me to Mount Wutai in seven days."

"There is more than one month left, and I can still catch up with the day when Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva becomes a Buddha on June [-]th. The slaves thank the emperor for his kindness." To be honest, I am at a loss now, and I need faith to guide me.

"I read you right. I will only bring my personal guards and Eunuch Wu with me when I go. You can choose a girl from your room to go with you, so that it is convenient for you to live in."

"The journey here is dangerous, don't you regret it?" When leaving the imperial study, I heard Fulin sigh slightly.

I don't know what to say, if you are not here, what is the meaning of my life?The footsteps did not stop, so just pretend you didn't hear it.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Fulin raised his head.He rested his forehead with one hand, looking very tired.All this is finally about to start. A month ago, Dorgon united with the ministers of the court and his faction to sever his control over the court. Fortunately, Sony and other loyal veterans, and the newcomers he trained in recent years are loyal Lord, I didn't let the court affairs worsen.After being dormant for many years, Dorgon's attack this time must be the last fight.Soon there was news from the army that Dorgon had made alliances with many generals he had known in the early years. During these years, Dorgon spent most of his dormant time in opening up the garrison near Beijing and placing his own people inside. Those disobedient generals were sent to the frontier, and part of the soldiers and guards in the imperial army were also controlled by Dorgon.All of these were done extremely secretively, and the reason why I was able to know all this was due to the royal family spies left by the former emperor who were scattered everywhere and the spies I kept planting later.Royal spies will not be recorded in the official book. No one knows their existence except the reigning emperor. They are not a system. They are small in number and have no leader. The only person they obey is the current emperor.The spies I later developed were led by an unknown Qin Yu among the close guards. They were all diehards who had been cultivated since childhood. These people were chosen out of a hundred.In the current situation, Fulin can only control Lang Wei and some soldiers.The reason why Dorgon did not raise troops was that there was one person who commanded the most elite garrison near Beijing, and was very close to the imperial city. This person was the eleventh son of the former emperor, Bomu Boguoer.You can only hit with one hit, otherwise you will die. Dorgon had to be cautious. He tried to bribe Bogor's men, but Bogor led soldiers since he was a child, and the most powerful people under him were brothers who followed him through life and death. , can't be pried at all.A few days ago, Bogoer was reprimanded by Fulin because of his subordinate's dereliction of duty. The two gradually developed a rift, and Dorgon took this opportunity.Suddenly, many people in the court persuaded Fulin Boguer to support himself, fearing that there would be a threat, and the relationship between the two brothers was even more precarious.Fulin frowned. Although he had found the opportunity first, he was not strong enough.

"It's time for the emperor to eat." Wu Liangfu couldn't help reminding.

"I can't eat it."

"If your body breaks down, it's not for your loved ones to hurt your enemies. Your majesty, you should eat something." Wu Liangfu continued to persuade.

"Forget it, let's pass on the meal." The loved ones are hurt, but the enemies are quick, that's not the case. "You can't say this, who taught you?"

"Your majesty is really sharp-eyed. This is what Wan Shi said. If the emperor refuses to eat, I will persuade you like this." Wu Liangfu didn't intend to hide it at first, and returned calmly.

"Wanshi?" Fulin's eyes lit up, and then she quickly regained her composure, which is quite like her style.

"The slave has been with the emperor for a long time, and he has gradually learned how to look at people. The slave can see that the servant is sincerely treating the emperor." Wu Liangfu knew that the emperor was wary of the servant, but after a long time of investigation, the servant was clear. In vain, and it is said that Lu Yao knows the horsepower and sees people's hearts for a long time.

"It's only been a few days, and you've been bribed? Sure enough, I can't underestimate Waiter Wan." Fulin laughed heartily.

"Your Majesty, you yourself have been bribed, otherwise why would you bring Wanshi with you on this trip?" Wu Liangfu's words choked Fulin, why would he want to bring Wanshi, Fulin thought about it, some things are really irrational It's decided, just do it after thinking about it, maybe it's more reassuring to keep dangerous people by your side.

"I need a maid to go with me, and Wan has been by my side for a long time, so she's the only one." Fulin was indifferent, as if it wasn't him who made the decision.
