Chapter 702: The Queen Mother's Birthday (2)
March 28 is the Queen Mother's Thousand Autumn Festival. In order to save silver www.biquge.info he accepted the emperor, queens, concubines, royal relatives and ministers of civil and military affairs in the main hall of Cining Palace. Exempting the opera troupe from singing and a three-day running water seat naturally saved a lot of money.
The Queen Mother and the Emperor are optimistic about the colorful balloons in the Ruiwang Mansion, as well as the Yangge team and lion dance team in the palace. These are the best ways to enhance the festive atmosphere. Rui Wang Ye said that balloons are not a valuable thing, and the costumes of the lion dance team and Yangge team can be used this time and next time, which is very cost-effective. The battle between Nanbian and Zheng Jing is still fighting, and the money in the treasury is beyond its means, so save it if you can, and change the trick for the birthday. Therefore, in advance, the prince, the prince of the county, the prince of the country, and even the family members of the clan ordered each government to perform on stage, and there was no intention of playing tricks. After kneeling and congratulating, the program begins. First of all, there is the Yangge dance of the Ruiwang Mansion, during which there are lions in formation, reflecting the festivities.
Cining Palace has a new look, large colorful balloons, three or four tied into a bunch, hanging in the air. Under the balloon, a huge slogan was pulled: "The Queen Mother's Birthday is better than Nanshan", "The Queen Mother's blessing is as good as the East China Sea", and above the viewing platform is the imitation Song Dynasty character written by Yun'er, "The Birthday Ceremony of the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty".
The viewing platform is on the left and right of the gate of Cining Palace, divided into two classes: civil and military. At the beginning of the morning, the salute roared, and the queen mother in the dress of the queen mother sat on the float of the Ruiwang Mansion, and the maid Su Moer, who had been in the same boat with her for more than 30 years, and the two grandsons of the queen mother, the second prince Fuquan and the third prince Xuanye. The floats are filled with flowers on all sides, red, pink, golden, pale green...... Tian Liang, who was driving, was wearing a first-class guard costume and a yellow jacket, which was specially given by the emperor.
The car drove smoothly towards the viewing platform. The emperor left his seat, led the royal family and the minister of civil and military affairs, got off the danqi, and knelt in front of the car. Tian Liang hurriedly left, and Su Moer and the two princes also got out of the car.
"Erchen led the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces to kowtow to the emperor's mother."
"Queen Mother Wanfu Jin'an, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!"
"Guys, flat." The Queen Mother's momentum is quite sufficient, and she is very satisfied with today's scene, which is a glory that she has not enjoyed in the past few decades.
The Queen Mother took the hand that the emperor's son stretched out to her and got off the four-wheeled electric car. Slowly walked up to the viewing platform and sat down in the center. Immediately, several of the emperor's daughters came to offer flowers in festive costumes. They presented flowers to the Queen Mother on behalf of the royal family and the princes' mansions and the Guogong Mansion. The Queen Mother was the first to take a bouquet of beautiful flowers handed over by Princess Runyu and kissed Xue'er on the face. This is an artificial flower that Yun'er bought, not a silk screen flower, but a plastic flower that is more beautiful than a real flower. It's really lifelike. The outside is also wrapped in very stiff and thin flower paper, which looks very decent.
The Queen Mother said a few words to everyone, nothing more than that everyone worked hard for a whole year, and they will continue to cooperate sincerely in the future to contribute to the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty. The following is the theatrical performance,
The Queen Mother asked the princes, grandfathers of the country or their family members to come to the stage, and these people were quite dissatisfied and thought that they were treating them as a play. But the queen mother and the emperor didn't dare to disobey their orders, so they had to endure their anger.
The first to take the stage was Prince An, who performed a. Even if you don't want to, you have to play hard. Not to mention, Prince An's flute is played quite well, like a song like a poem, like a cry, like a complaint, and the song "Su Wu Shepherd" won warm applause. Then the martial arts performance of the guards of Prince Zhuang's mansion. There is really an imposing momentum, all the performers are about the same size, strong, handsome and mighty, young and strong, the lineup is rigorous, and the movements are standard. Prince Jane's Mansion is the prince Chitose himself. Zilharang's son is very outstanding, twenty-six or seventeen years old, born with a kingly style, wearing a dark blue horseshoe sleeve arrow suit, how spirited and how handsome he is. In his hand was a sword with a long bright yellow tassel and a cold light, and his braid was coiled around his head. After clasping his fists and saluting, he began to dance the sword. The long sword is like a mang, the qi runs through the rainbow, the sword qi surrounds his body, with a flying coat, in the cold light, a rotating bright yellow wheel, more and more like the sword dancer's posture......
Applause!
Then there were two noble ladies who were all tall, carrying sarkas and graceful on the field. Needless to say, these are the two blessings of Lord Rui. Fujin is pale green, and Yun'er is pale purple. Calmly play under the gaze of everyone. After the two of them gave their gifts, Fu Jin sat down, and the person behind him handed her a violin. The ladies in the crowd began to discuss: "How can Lord Rui's Fujin still play that kind of profound foreign gadgets?" "It's not bad, I recognize it as a foreign thing.
"That young man is Chen Fujin in their house? I heard that she is a master of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Wow, it's so beautiful! Rui Wang Ye is not shallow. ”
The two of them are like no one. A young and handsome eunuch stood in the middle of the stage, hugged his floating dust and spoke: "The two Fujin of the Ruiwang Mansion want to sing to the Queen Mother on the Queen Mother's Thousand Autumn Festival. Beautiful grassland, my home, please. ”
Yun'er stood slightly in the middle of the stage generously, nodded lightly to Fu Jin, and Fu Jin's violin sounded softly. After passing through the door, Yun'er sang at the right time:
"Beautiful prairie my home,
The wind blows green grass and flowers everywhere.
Colorful butterflies fly and birds sing,
A bay of clear water reflects the sunset.
The horses are like clouds,
Cattle and sheep are like pearls
The shepherdess sang aloud
Happy singing all over the world
The shepherd girl sings,
Happy singing all over the world.
Beautiful prairie my home
The water is clear and the grass is beautiful, and I love it
The grassland is like a green sea
The felt bag is like a white lotus
……
Yun'er's singing voice is very close to the original singer of this song, Dedema, rich and deep. Before the song was finished, the applause was like thunder. Someone exclaimed, "Good! That's great! ”
The long-lost country sound! The long-lost steppe! The tears of the Queen Mother rolled down like beads with broken threads. Thirty years of life in the deep palace, thirty years of swords and swords, bloody rain! Today's Queen Mother, the former Mongolian girl Bumu Butai, has reached the pinnacle of power, and looking back is all unbearable!
The lyrics are simple and easy to understand, the singing is euphemistic and melodious, and the authentic Mongolian flavor is authentic! It seems to be singing as if it is the Horqin Grassland, and every note is flowing with the girlhood's vision for the future. Too familiar and too unfamiliar, long-lost country sound! The Queen Mother was afraid that she would lose her voice, so she covered her mouth tightly with a handkerchief, but tears poured out disobediently.
"Huangma, what's wrong with you?" The third prince, Xuan Ye, came over and asked with concern.
"Mamo is fine, Mamo is happy." The Queen Mother held Xuan Ye in her arms.
Yun'er only sang part of it and it was over, because there were still others to perform. But the applause lasted for a long time, which made her a little helpless and helpless.
The emperor spoke: "Sister-in-law Yun'er, you can sing another one." ”
Fu Jin whispered to the eunuch who reported the curtain, and the eunuch said: "The episode of "Journey to the West", where is the road. ”
"You carry the burden, I lead the horse,
Welcome the sunrise and send away the sunset.
Stepping on the bumpy road
After fighting the hardships and dangers, we set off again
Ahh
Spring, autumn, winter and summer,
After a lot of ups and downs,
Dare to ask where the road is,
The road is underfoot
You carry the burden, and I lead the horse.
Over the mountains and wading through the shoulders of frost flowers
Wind and clouds thunder and lightning are commanding,
All the way to the end of the world
……
There was still applause. There is no such song in the Qing Dynasty, it is simple and clear, plain and easy to understand, the tune is good, novel and bright. The emperor stood up and applauded, and the ministers also hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Fu Jin and Yun'er gave gifts, holding hands and preparing to step down. Prince Jane exclaimed, "Can't go, can't go!" The first time I heard such a song, it was really lingering for three days. Two royal sisters-in-law, is it okay to sing another song? Applaud! ”
The applause was high and enduring. Fu Jin whispered: Sister hard work, sing again. Other sisters won't play the piano for you, just "Third Sister Liu". Yun'er nodded, and gave a blessing gift with a smile on her face. "Thank you for your encouragement."
The eunuch's father-in-law came to the stage to report the curtain: "Liu Sanjie"
"Sing the mountain song, sing here and there.
Mountain songs are like spring river water
Sing here and there
Roe, over there and. ”
The singing is melodious and melodious, and the tune is beautiful and beautiful.
Applause rang out again.
The emperor hurriedly stood up: "Everyone, all the ministers, the two Fujin have already performed three songs, and their voices may be unbearable, can you let them go?" There's a lot more to come. ”
"Second brother, what kind of blessing have you cultivated in your life? How can there be such two gods and fairies at the same time? Prince Jian sighed with emotion, so the prince didn't answer his question, just sat there smiling and whispered something to Prince An.
Fu Jin and Yun'er hurriedly stepped down and slipped away.
The following is the guzheng playing of Prince Zhuang Fujin.
Next is Prince Kang's Kunqu opera cappella singing
…… It's all good! But the comments in the Queen Mother's heart are not something that others can control.
There are not many plays, they are all "meaning". The Queen Mother's Halloween Festival came to an end, and the princes of the royal family, the princes of the county, the princes of the country and the ministers of civil and military affairs kowtowed to the Queen Mother and shouted "The Queen Mother has no borders".
Yun'er's song of the grassland left too deep and too deep an impression on the Queen Mother!
As soon as the Queen Mother's Thousand Autumn Festival passed, Fu Jin was taken into the palace by the princess sent by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother told Fu Jin that the current emperor's mind had completely changed. In the past, I was fighting with her, not listening to her advice, and now my performance is that no matter what she says, she is wrong, and she is irritable and impatient. Q: Is there any way to do it? What can Fu Jin do? The emperor is sick of his heart, and he can only be persuaded to find his heart knot. The Queen Mother said a word, and Fu Jin almost fainted in fright.
"Xiu'er, this palace thinks that he has taken a fancy to the cloud girl, and it's hard to say it."
"Queen Mother, this is impossible."
"You don't have to be afraid, this palace doesn't let Yun'er enter the palace to be his concubine, but wants Yun'er to enter the palace a few more times, sing for him, and talk to him......"
"Queen Mother, my Yun'er has a husband and a master, what's the matter with accompanying the emperor?" Fu Jin said that he had forgotten the taboo. The Queen Mother was not angry, and continued: "The palace knows that this is unreasonable, but how can it be good for the emperor to always be like this? He is the pillar of the Great Qing Kingdom, and without him......"
"The concubines you said can be understood, but this is too inconsistent with a monarch's behavior, and it will be criticized by people all over the world. According to the concubine's opinion, the emperor is worried because Concubine E's body is unhappy, how to find a way to make Eniangniang's health better, and the emperor's heart disease will disappear. ”
"But you look at Concubine E's appearance, it can be all right in three days?"
"Queen Mother, think about it, if Yun'er enters the palace to accompany the emperor, won't E Niangniang's illness be more serious? If there is something, what will the emperor do? Are you asking us to make such a senseless sacrifice? We also have two nursing children! Her heart is not in the emperor's body! Did you know? My lord is now inseparable from Yun'er......"
"Okay, okay, you don't need to say it, I understand, Emperor Taizong couldn't listen to anyone's words for the sake of Concubine Chen's sister, and whoever wants to say that Concubine Chen is not good, he will be able to screw off someone's head immediately. The emperor is also so paranoid now, forget it, let's find another way. ”
"The concubine knows that you will definitely have the best of both worlds, no matter what, the emperor is the meat that fell from your body, and he will not screw it with you to the end, it is he who is young, and some things can't be imagined."
"What you said also makes sense, it's really not a way to let Yun'er accompany him, Concubine E will definitely overturn the vinegar vat, and it may be ......, forget it, your life is good, and it won't cause you trouble."
Fu Jin hated so much that his silver teeth were about to be crushed! Let's sing a song at home, and let you mother and son see it! Fu Jin knew that the emperor didn't have a good year to live, and Concubine E would have to die in August, so he must protect Yun'er in these four or five months!
Yun'er sang to the Queen Mother, and the fact that the Queen Mother was moved to tears was soon known by Concubine E, and her condition worsened by two points. recognized that Yun'er's song was to flatter the Queen Mother and pave the way for entering the palace in the future. In addition, he is not in good health, and he can't give birth to a son to the emperor, so he squeezes himself on the highs and lows. I don't believe in the emperor anymore, I think it's all sweet words. I regret very much that I have taken such a path. But this kind of mind must not be revealed to anyone, otherwise it will die ugly. In this way, it is useless to eat dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder, it is purely a heart disease!
After Fu Jin returned home, he immediately told the prince about the situation, and the prince pondered for a while and said: "The queen mother wants to use Yun'er to persuade the emperor to come back, but she is simply powerless to make up for the sky, and if she can make up for it, she will not make it up!" Who are these people so vicious, their lives are their lives, and other people's lives are not their lives? How can he fiddle with people, how do they have to listen to him? There are no doors! ”
"Maybe when it will be a whim for Xuan Yun'er to enter the palace. How do you think of a surefire solution? ”
"Where in the world is there a foolproof solution? The emperor died in the first month of next year, and now it is almost April, and there are nine months left, and Concubine E died in August this year, five months from now. The foreign Qing history said that as soon as Concubine E died, the emperor had nothing to do. He didn't think about Yun'er at all, even if Concubine E died. This kind of person will run all the way to the dark. I also saw that Concubine Chen back then, and I didn't think she was so good that people were crazy about it, why did my father ...... Forget it, my feelings about that woman are very fake, very contrived, purely the kind of disaster that seduces people rather than confidantes. If it weren't for her, her father might not have died so early, and her father would have given a clear explanation to the prince if he didn't die, so there would be no struggle for the throne between Haoge's eldest brother and the fourteenth uncle, and how many years of internal strife in the Qing court alone? Whether it is the eldest brother ascending the throne or Dolgon's accession to the throne, it is better than now, because then there will be no chance for the queen mother to put the beak in the government. It's not that the Queen Mother's words are all wrong, her vision, knowledge, and strategy are far from the real emperor!
Why is the emperor so disgusted with the Queen Mother? And I don't want to be the emperor? He felt that his throne was not obtained by his own efforts, but by his mother's body, and he looked down on his mother, and even more on himself! Maybe it's the confusion that people often say? It is right to be good to your own woman, and no matter how good it is, you shouldn't be swoon. In my opinion, it's not a big deal, that concubine is not as good as a day, and the emperor doesn't have any energy to think about anything else. His infatuation is very beneficial to us, so relax your heart. (To be continued.) )
