Volume 1: Stormy Rain Extra 1: Plum Yellow Shiyu (Yaertan Zhang Fengyang)
(ps: Insert an extra article, because Zhang Fengyang will not appear in the plot after that, and I am afraid that everyone will forget, so it is more appropriate to put it here after thinking about it.) The love-hate relationship between the little beggar and the queen mother. )
In September of the tenth year of Shunzhi, Fulin demoted the queen Borzigit to Concubine Jing on the grounds of disagreement.
In May of the eleventh year of Shunzhi, Yaertan, the daughter of Korqin Belerji, was selected to enter the palace and was registered as a concubine.
- Introduction
1. This dream has come
A piece of bright yellow paper is sent into the Horqin grassland, like a boulder entering the water to stir up a thousand waves. The last holy decree was to hire Meng Guqing into the palace, only three years later, the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng came to the holy decree again, the words were earnest, but the purpose was very clear, she wanted to let the daughter of Qiuerji enter the palace.
Meng Guqing has not had a good relationship with Fulin since entering the palace, and has faced the situation of being abolished several times, and the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng chose the most inconspicuous Qiuerji among the brothers in order to ensure that the middle palace still belongs to the Horqin family.
This is the supreme glory, and Erji didn't want to think about it, so he hurriedly prepared things to send the youngest daughter of the family, Yaertan, into the palace.
She had just turned thirteen this year.
At night, Yaltan sat on the grassland looking at the endless sky, sipping mellow milk tea, she couldn't imagine what it was like to be hundreds of miles away.
Abu said that the houses there were all boxy, the clothes were different from them, and there were many good food, fun, and not exposed to the wind and sun, in short, it was a good place.
Yaltan asked, is it possible to ride a horse there?
Abu shook his head.
The sky is clear, and the streets of Gyeonggi are full of merchants and hawkers, and there are a variety of items. This is very new to Yalthan, who has never seen such things. She looked left and right, and her originally terrible mood suddenly improved a lot.
Just when she had enjoyed the scenery and was about to rest in the carriage, she suddenly found that there was a large group of people in front of her, Yaltan stretched her neck and looked curiously, in the center of the crowd was a person with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek face, who was whipping someone with a whip in his hand, the beaten man was curled up on the ground in rags, his body was full of scars, and several blood marks bloomed, gurgling blood, flowing straight to the ground, looking extremely pitiful.
The person holding the whip in his hand beat it, and scolded and swore in his mouth: "Let you steal, I see if you dare to steal ......"
Yaltan looked at the man extremely pitiful, but no one around was willing to help him speak, Yaltan hurriedly ordered the coachman to stop, and it was Yartan's brother Su Hetai who sent him off, he noticed the movement behind him, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Aha, I want to help him." Yaltan looked at Suhetai and begged.
Su Hetai said coldly: "This is the imperial city, don't meddle in things." ”
Yaltan said coquettishly: "Aha, you see that he has been beaten like that, let's help him." ”
"Aha ......"
Su Hetai shook his head helplessly, he knew that Yaltan had a stubborn personality, in order to send this little ancestor away as soon as possible. He rode forward, took a bag of silver from his waist and threw it to the man with the whip in his hand: "Take it, get it, and get out of here when it is enough." ”
The man hurriedly nodded and smiled: "Enough is enough, thank you, thank you." ”
When the man had gone away, the crowd had faded, and the people on the ground had slowly risen to their feet, and Jartan smiled at him, noticing that there was a handsome face hidden under his messy hair.
Second, the past has been forgotten
Three months after entering the palace, Yaltan was crowned queen with the support of the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, becoming the second queen of Fulin, and the night before the ceremony, Yaltan quietly went to the palace to visit Meng Guqing.
It's only been a few months, Meng Guqing's temples have grown gray hair, she is dressed in plain clothes, and her eyes are like ashes. Meng Guqing told her not to believe in the so-called love, not to mention being in the emperor's house, seeing the beautiful and illiterate, and the literate not good-looking, it was easy to look forward to a literate and beautiful Concubine Dong E, and I didn't know how long it would be.
Yaltan was silent, except for the day she met her in the palace, Fulin never came to see her again, she didn't understand why this person was so ruthless, he treated Concubine Dong E affectionately, and he had a smile on the concubine, but for her, he was perfunctory, and he didn't even raise his eyelids. Even if it's Meng Guqing, at least, Fulin likes it. But she didn't have anything.
In the dead of night, she often hides in the quilt and thinks about Aha, Abu, the scene of galloping in Horqin, wants to drink milk tea with her sisters, and thinks about tears falling unconsciously.
This place is indeed the best place as Abu said, with good food and good dress, but there is no freedom, the person who marries does not like herself, and the concubines also look down on her, and she is very tired with them every day.
The little girl who used to be heroic never had aura in her eyes anymore, and there was just a pool of stagnant water.
It's only been three months, enough to destroy a person.
At the canonization ceremony, Yaltan was dressed in the queen's court dress and worshiped by His Royal Highness, and she watched Fu Lin focus on Concubine Dong E for a long time, and she was very disappointed.
Suddenly, Yaltan saw the man he had saved on the street three months ago, he was standing in the palm salute music procession, inadvertently raised his head and glanced at Yartan, and quickly lowered his eyes.
It turned out that he became a eunuch.
On the third day of the canonization, the Department of Education carefully prepared a few scenes for Yartan, who was not interested in these in the first place, and was extremely bored with the babbling and was trying to find an excuse to leave. This happened to be the appearance of Zhengdan, and the gongs and drums were great, but Yaltan found that Zhengdan was very similar to him.
After the curtain was over, Jartan ordered someone to call him on the grounds of rewarding. It is not easy to meet someone you know in the palace. Yaltan asked him why he entered the palace, and when he was deeply sorry, he was also happy in his heart, and it was comforting to see him in this deep palace.
Yaltan asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Slave Zhang Fengyang."
3. The Legend of the Ming Phoenix
It was precisely because of Zhang Fengyang that Yaertan, who didn't like to listen to dramas, began to call for the teaching workshop to act, but only ordered Zhang Fengyang's plays.
Yartan's lonely life finally had a touch of color, and she looked forward to seeing him every day. Every time Zhang Fengyang came to sing, Yaltan would drag him to say troublesome things, after a long time, even if there was an extra tree planted in front of Concubine Dong E's palace, he had to tell Zhang Fengyang, Yaltan asked him: "I tell you every day about trivial things in the palace, won't you be annoyed?" ”
"Slaves never get tired of listening to it for the rest of their lives."
Yaltan was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "Then you will accompany me and listen to me for the rest of your life, but you are not allowed to leave quietly." ”
Zhang Fengyang nodded, and inadvertently raised his head to look at Yaertan, afraid of being discovered by her, so he quickly lowered his head.
Suddenly, Zhang Fengyang also became a celebrity in front of Yaertan. Fulin already loves drama, and Jartan can say a few words to Fulin because of this.
It just so happened that this year, "The Legend of the Ming Phoenix" was performed in Sijiu City and became famous. Fu Lin was very interested, so he sent the eunuch out of the palace to inquire. Then Xu Zhi ordered the folk opera troupe to enter the palace and perform for Fulin and the ministers.
There is no precedent to follow for entering the palace to act, and being in front of the palace is a top priority. The Ministry of Internal Affairs assigned the Department of Education to vacate the five schools in Qianxi for the folk opera troupe, and sent people from the Department of Education to teach them the rules, so Yaltan named Zhang Fengyang to go.
On the eve of leaving the palace, the folk opera troupe distributed the treasures to the people of the Teaching Workshop Division, and the director of the Teaching Workshop Division was very appreciative, so he ordered Zhang Fengyang to send them out of the palace.
Zhang Fengyang didn't know that this time he actually wanted half his life.
The owner of the folk opera troupe claimed that the ruby given by His Majesty had been lost, and he searched everywhere but was nowhere to be found. The only person who has seen those jewels is Zhang Fengyang.
The head of the teaching department ordered people to search Zhang Fengyang's residence, and the gems were really found.
Zhang Fengyang denied it: "They gave it to me, and the slave didn't steal it." ”
The class leader said coldly: "Have I ever sent you?" I'm grateful to you for teaching you the rules, but ask them, did I give you a ruby yesterday? ”
The rest of the crowd shook their heads, Zhang Fengyang looked at everyone and said helplessly: "I didn't steal!"
The chief ordered someone to arrest him, pointed at him and scolded: "This is the case, dare to quibble!" It's just that after singing a few tunes and getting face in front of the queen, can you do whatever you want? ”
Only then did Zhang Fengyang understand that the principal colluded with the class leader and deliberately asked him to send it in order to frame him.
The director stepped forward, quite proud, and before he could speak, Zhang Fengyang sprayed a mouthful of spit on the supervisor's face.
"Phew!"
The director wiped his saliva, gritted his teeth and said, "What a bastard, dare to spray your grandfather." Come, brothers, beat him to death, and I'll see how good he is. ”
Suddenly, his fists rained down, and he beat Zhang Fengyang unconscious. I don't know how he was kicked out of the palace, and he swore that he would make them pay.
Fourth, Taoism
After Zhang Fengyang was kicked out of the palace, he did not live the life of exile before. Instead, he mixed into Prince Kang's mansion to do chores, and he did all the dirtiest and most tiring work, and he was so tired that he almost fainted countless times, but when he thought of being bullied by the principal that day, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and then thought of Yartan, so he desperately persisted.
It also happened that Prince Kang liked to listen to operas, and he also got the opportunity. All the way to the knees, bending to welcome. Finally, in the fifth year of Prince Kang's mansion, he sat in the position of chief manager.
He is no longer the Zhang Fengyang who was bullied.
He first sent people to find the troupe of the year, drove them out of the capital, and then ordered people to collect evidence of bribery accepted by the head of the sect in the palace, and sent him to prison, and finally the director was starved to death in prison. Zhang Fengyang breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, it was the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, and at this time, it was Emperor Dong E's concubine who was favored in the palace, but Yaltan was struggling as a queen.
She was reprimanded by Fulin for being negligent in etiquette and deactivating the Middle Palace Notebook, and Fulin even wanted to abolish Jartan.
All this fell into Zhang Fengyang's ears, and his heart ached. But he's just a eunuch, and who is she, the queen of the world. Why did he bother with it?
When he saw Fu Lin treat her like this, he struggled inwardly, and a bold idea came up to take her out of the palace.
Kunning Palace has been cold since its establishment, the moonlight is deep, the whole palace is so quiet that there is only the rustling sound of the old trees at the door, there are very few waiters guarding the palace gate, Zhang Fengyang pretended to be an insider, and gave the Yellow Gate a little silver taels, so he entered Kunning Palace smoothly.
Yaltan knelt in the inner hall to worship the Buddha, sandalwood curled straight to Fengyang to find, Yaltan heard the sound of the wooden door creaking open, and subconsciously turned around to see Zhang Fengyang.
"You, you, who are you?!" Yaltan looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, since Zhang Fengyang was expelled from the palace for 'stealing', there has been no news. Yaltan thought he was dead, and he was secretly sad for a long time, but today he saw him here, and Yaltan was at a loss for a while.
Zhang Fengyang stepped forward and said, "I'm not dead."
Yaltan asked, "Then where have you been all these years, and why are you here again?"
"Since I was expelled from the palace, I went to Prince Kang's Mansion to do miscellaneous work, Prince Kang likes to listen to plays, so I did what he liked, and then sat step by step as the head of Prince Kang's Mansion." Zhang Fengyang said lightly, as if the experience of these years was not worth mentioning, and then turned his gaze to Yaertan, "The reason why I am here is because you saved me in the first place." I will repay your kindness. ”
Yaltan seemed to recall the past, and couldn't help but chuckle, but the smile was still in the same mood as it was back then.
Zhang Fengyang saw her smile, but he didn't know how to speak, and said after a long time: "I remember that year, the moment you opened the sedan curtain, I was moved." From then on, I desperately wanted to see you, even if I wanted to become a eunuch. He hesitated for a moment, but he didn't dare to open his mouth when the words were in his mouth, and finally held back for a long time and asked, "Come with me, okay?" I know, it may not be realistic, but it's too hard for you to stay in this palace. Over the years, I have accumulated a lot of silver taels, which is enough for you to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. ”
"No......" Yaltan refused, "you are crazy, I am the queen, how can I escape from this palace." ”
Zhang Fengyang stepped forward and held her hands tightly: "We escape from the palace, and I will protect you for the rest of your life." ”
Yaltan dragged him away and said emotionally, "Do you think I don't want to leave?" From the moment I entered the palace, I wanted to go back, but how did the palace guards escape. ”
"I have already made all plans, as long as you are willing to go with me, tomorrow I will set fire to this Kunning Palace, I have found the palace maid in your palace who is very similar to you, and when you change your clothes, we can take advantage of the chaos to leave." There is a room in Qianxi Wu, you can temporarily live here, and wait for Tianming to disguise yourself as an inner attendant and leave the palace with the eunuch. ”
Yaltan looked at the person in front of her in shock, she didn't know that there were people in the world who were so prepared for her, and she didn't know what to do for a while. But reason told her that she couldn't go, and when she left, Horqin would send a third queen of the same age as her, and she and Meng Guqing were already like this, and they didn't want the third Korqin to follow in her footsteps.
Yaltan said lightly: "I'm not leaving."
"You said you wanted me to talk to you for the rest of your life."
"Who you are, and who I am, that's just a joke I used when I was young."
Zhang Fengyang heard her words, his eyes turned from expectation to dim, he turned away silently, Yaltan looked at his departing figure, and she shed tears.
5. Gambling
In the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, Concubine Dong E died, posthumously awarded the title of Empress Xiaoxian, Fulin was grief-stricken, and died the following year, and the Empress Dowager embraced the eight-year-old Xuan Ye to the throne.
This year, Yaltan was no more than twenty years old. She was seriously ill, and called many doctors for treatment, and in a trance, she seemed to see the young man many years ago.
On this day, Concubine Tong suddenly fell ill, and before the imperial doctor could summon her, she died.
Xuan Ye hated Yaltan from then on.
After Xuanye ascended the throne, he eradicated Aobai, leveled the three feudatories, and Suo Etu Mingzhu each held one power, and Zhang Fengyang was also among them. Gradually, a folk ballad spread: "If you want to be an official, ask Suo San; To intercede, ask Lao Ming; If he is temporary or long, he wants to ask Zhang Fengyang. ”
Since the last time, Zhang Fengyang has made a detour through Ningshou Palace every time he enters the palace. But Artan avoided him. After a few years, he finally saw Yaltan at the canonization banquet, Zhang Fengyang saw tears in her eyes, and she clearly cared about him, but she just refused to admit it.
A few months later, Suo Etu invited Zhang Fengyang to participate in the banquet of his daughter, but because he was a eunuch, he was ridiculed by Dong Egong for not being worthy of this, he still remembered that Dong Egong was a filial piety queen, and couldn't help but think of the grievances that Yaltan had suffered because of his filial piety in the past few years. In a fit of rage, he ordered someone to burn Dong Egong's house, and this fire was a gamble on him, betting on an ending.
Sure enough, the capital was in an uproar, and Prince Kang couldn't save face, so he had to write to Xuan Ye, and Xuan Ye issued an order to be disposed of by Prince Kang.
Yaltan knew that Zhang Fengyang had come to this point because of her, and she was full of regret. And Zhang Fengyang did all this just to gamble, to bet on an ending, does Yaltan care about him?
In this half of his life, he was in exile, and his servility was just to get ahead, no longer let people be mermaids, and what about getting power, all of this was like dust compared to Yartan.
He was ordered to be executed by Prince Kang, and the guillotine was full of ridicule and ridicule, and the scolding was like a note for a while.
He didn't care, the breeze was blowing on his face, his eyes were still bright, he was waiting, waiting for a result.
A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, three quarters of an hour......
Seeing that the hour was about to pass, he seemed unwilling but helpless, and he slowly closed his eyes. Suddenly, there was a decree from the Queen Mother's ear, and he laughed, laughing extraordinarily, it turned out that he cared about him, even if it was death, it was worth it.
When the supervisor hesitated, Zhang Fengyang stood up violently and rushed to the pillar, and with a 'bang', blood flowed like a torrent, and he fell to the ground in response, and everyone was in an uproar.
Zhang Fengyang died, he was killed by himself. Zhang Fengyang became the object of discussion after tea and dinner in the entire capital for a while. Some people say that he died in shame, and some people say that he had ulterior things with the Queen Mother. How do others know?
Jartan looked at the sky in despair, the sky was like a blue reflection of her plain clothes, just like when she first met him many years ago.
If everything can be done again, she just wants to follow him to escape from the imperial city, even if she is exiled from now on, but she can be wide and let him gallop.
