When the Taiping Army was besieged in Xinhui, Guangdong, in the Forbidden City, the young Shunzhi emperor was hugging his virtuous concubine Dong E who was only enthroned last month and spoke endless love words, which made the beauty in her arms laugh. Dong E was a man of the Manchu Zhengbai Banner, the daughter of E Shuo, and the sister of General Fei Yanggu. After entering the palace, he was deeply loved by Shunzhi. In less than a month, he promoted her to the imperial concubine on the grounds that "smart, wise, and unparalleled, and no one above Dong E."

The young man and woman were in love. After some action, Shunzhi picked up the note on the desk and looked at it. However, after just a few glances, he threw it aside with annoyance, and looked at it. He looked a little depressed.

Dong Efei observed her expression and frowned and asked, "Emperor, what's wrong?"

"Hmph, the old guys who are the ministers of the government are really not sure what they are. They always want to cause trouble for me, but they don't want me to purify me..." Thinking of those old guys, Shunzhi became more and more frustrated.

"Master, what happened?"

Dong Efei took a look at the note that was thrown aside by Shunzhi, but she was far away and couldn't see what was written on it for a while.

"Oh, nothing..."

Shunzhi didn't want to talk about this, but when he saw his beloved concubine looking at him with concern, he couldn't help but talk about this thing that made him very angry.

The memorial was submitted by the Minister of Interior Suksaha, but it was about Hong Chengchou. It turned out that the Zheng family of the Southern Ming Dynasty was driven to the coastal islands of Fujian. After the great general of Dingyuan, Jidu, returned to the court, the Qing court's attention was completely focused on the southwest area occupied by Zhu Youlang.

In response to the war in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Shunzhi followed Dorgon's strategy of Han system in his lifetime, and gave full power to the Grand Secretary Hong Chengchou. In order to show his trust in Hong, Shunzhi specially appointed Hong as Taibao and Prince Taishi, and appointed him as the governor of the five provinces of Huguang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou. At the same time, he issued an order to ask the Ministry of Personnel that the Ministry of War shall not restrain the governor of the five provinces, and the Ministry of Revenue shall not delay the governor of the five provinces.

However, since Hong Chengchou became the governor of the five provinces, various slanderous and slanderous words in the court have been constantly poured into Shunzhi from the relatives and nobles of Manchus. Especially in the past two years, Hong Chengchou surrounded Sun Kewang of the Southern Ming Dynasty but did not attack, and stationed troops in Hunan for a long time. He did not make progress, but consumed countless money and food, and even more bullets were introduced into the Da Nei like snow. However, although Shunzhi was young, he was suspicious of people and did not doubt people. No matter how suspicious the court slandered Hong Chengchou, he was unmoved and always trusted Hong Chengchou.

Unexpectedly, this caused another discussion among the ministers of the political affairs, saying that Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang of the Southern Ming Dynasty were both adopted sons of Zhang Xianzhong. These two were two tiger generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty. The Daxi soldiers of the troops of the Qing Dynasty were not weaker than those of the Qing Dynasty. The territory occupied by the Southern Ming Dynasty was poor, and it was difficult to invade, and it was too useless to take it. Now Hong Chengchou is constantly consuming money and grain in the south. The treasury burden is too heavy, so it is better to simply place land to defend. Some even proposed to give up the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou and reconcile with the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Shunzhi did not take this remark in his heart at first, nor did he interfere with Hong Chengchou because of this remark. However, Li Dingguo's two famous kings were slumped, and the generals of Manzhou suffered heavy losses, and he became frightened and wanted to cut the river with the Southern Ming Dynasty. He even secretly ordered the palace generals to transport the gold, silver and treasures that had been plundered over the years to the outside of the pass, and prepared to retreat to the outside of the pass if the situation was wrong. As a result, the idea was dispelled by the urgency of the King of Political Consultative Affairs and the Minister of the Manchu and Han officials such as Hong Chengchou.

Before long, the situation in the south improved. Li Dingguo gave up and continued to go north and went to Guangdong for some reason, and suffered two consecutive defeats in Guangdong. On the battlefield in Hunan, the Qing army also stabilized the defense line, which made Shunzhi's mind calm. He no longer heard of the fear of Li Dingguo's two famous queens.

However, the Nanming did not fight the river, but Hong Chengchou only confronted Sun Kewang. The Qing army had no enterprising momentum and consumed more money and food every year than before. In this way, there were more bullets against Hong Chengchou as before. This time, even involved a number of important officials. This time, the memorial was submitted by the Minister of Interior Suksaha. The content of the memorial was nothing more than asking the emperor to replace Hong Chengchou and to transfer important officials to preside over the war in the Southern Ming Dynasty, so as to try to resolve the Nanming quickly.

.........

After talking so much with his beloved concubine, Shunzhi said distractedly: "I really want to withdraw Hong Chengchou. Who can guarantee that the people sent to do better than him? It is good to be stable in the south. Two years ago, Li Dingguo scared these old guys very much. At that time, they were not clamoring to cut the river and rule them." After that, Shunzhi snorted slightly. He dared not replace Hong Chengchou. Although the current situation is difficult to unify the world, after all, he can make his emperor do well in the Forbidden City. There is no need to worry. He doesn't want to take the risk of replacing people. As long as the people of Manchu and the emperor live freely, he doesn't want to take the risk of replacing people, so that the scene two years ago will reappear. consuming money and food is a trivial matter. The people of Han people are all the people.

Dong Efei didn't understand the national affairs. She only knew that Hong Chengchou was an old man who was talking about. She also knew that this old man could make the emperor feel at ease. She smiled and said, "In theory, I dare not argue about this kind of matter. But in my foolish opinion, even if the ministers have faults, they are ultimately considering the affairs of the state, not seeking profit for themselves. Your Majesty does not have to be too angry with them. It is said that they can always convince them by reason and emotion. Otherwise, if the ministers are not convinced, how can they convince the world? It is better to let the people below share the burden for Your Majesty."

"My beloved is right, for nothing. After two days, I have found an excuse to mention it with Sony and the others. Hong Chengchou's affairs cannot be pointed at me. What they should share will have to share."

What Dong Efei said was obviously something that Shunzhi was heard, thinking about asking Sony and the others to come out to relieve his worries. Thinking of this, he picked up another one and looked at it and his face was full of anger.

Concubine Dong E was so scared that she stood up straight from Shunzhi's arms and said in surprise: "What made Your Majesty so angry?"

"It's this year's Qiu Jue Shu, I'm going to kill some people!" Shunzhi put the memorial in front of Dong Efei.

Concubine Dong E looked at Qiu Jue for a moment, and the lines of black words revealed the breath of death. She frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the escapee's nest will be killed as soon as you catch it, isn't it too..."

Dong Efei didn't continue to say anything, and she didn't dare to continue to say anything, because when she saw Shunzhi's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

"My beloved concubines don't have to pity these fugitives. If I don't kill these fugitives, who will work hard for their subordinates? Who will support their subordinates? If they violate the law of fugitives and do not kill them, wouldn't that be tolerate fugitives? Those who are hiding should also die. If they don't hide, how dare they escape? How can they escape? There is no place to escape... Forget it, I won't tell you this."

Shunzhi said casually and circled the list, which was more than one hundred Han people's heads.

As a Manzhou Banner, Dong Efei was not really trying to pity these fugitives, but she was just a woman's nature. Seeing that Shunzhi had already been entangled, she stopped talking and quietly snuggled in his arms.

Shunzhi looked at her and sighed: "With you by my side, I feel much more relaxed." He looked up and saw that it was getting late outside, and said: "You go take a bath first, I will go later. Remember to use a flower bath, and I smell the fragrance."

Concubine Dong E gave a glamorous look, smirked and was about to withdraw. Before her body could turn around, someone outside shouted excitedly: "Master, good things, great things!"

The person who screamed was the leader eunuch Zhao Dequan. He ran into the palace gate. Wherever he passed, the palace maids and eunuchs all opened their mouths wide and felt incredible: Eunuch Zhao was so crazy about gaining something, why was he screaming so big in the palace?!

Zhao Dequan's unrestrainedness made Shunzhi in the hall very unhappy, but when he heard Zhao Dequan's shouting was a good thing, he was also confused, so he pressed the unhappiness and waited quietly.

Perhaps he was too happy, Zhao Dequan tripped by the threshold when he rushed into the hall, and suddenly fell three or four feet away into the door. He lay on the ground, scaring Dong Efei's eyes wide open.

"oops!"

The eunuch who was so close to the gate was so surprised that he didn't know if he was going to come forward to help Eunuch Zhao.
