Chapter 53

Follow the Holy Ancestor to the south to serve the Queen Mother

The Empress of Daming Lake forced into the nunnery

Qianlong had a second son, Yonglian, who was quite loved by the Sacred Heart, but unexpectedly died of illness. In addition to grief, Qianlong named the late prince Yonglian as the crown prince of Duanhui, and all the funeral ceremonies were regulated by the crown prince. On the first anniversary of Yonglian's death, Qianlong also went to Tiancun Cemetery to pay respects.

Qianlong boasted of being lenient and loving the royal family. This is true for Yonglian, and for the Empress Dowager Niu Hulu, the mother of the "dragon son" who transferred flowers and trees in exchange for the Chen family in Haining, who is not a "dragon species", is also respected and respectful. Almost every year, he has to serve the Empress Dowager's mercy, or go to Chengde Summer Resort to escape the summer, or go to Shengjing and Nanyuan to visit the ancestral mausoleums of Tailing, Zhaoling, Fuling, etc., and go around.

Even to the rest of the princesses, they are also very diligent. In the eighth year of Qianlong's Shouqi Emperor's concubine, Qianlong dropped out of the dynasty for ten days, "if you want to hold on to it, Prince Zhuang and others pray for forgiveness", and finally he still went to the palace of the Shouqi Emperor and the princess to pay tribute. In July, Concubine Shun Yimi fell ill, and he personally went to the Concubine Palace to inquire about the illness.

Let's look at a record of the eighth year of Qianlong in "Higher Than the Benji", we can see what kind of filial son and grandson Qianlong is:

Qianlong is good at hunting, this is probably because he has been following the Holy Ancestor Kangxi since he was a child, and he really killed many tigers like Kangxi. But at the same time, this seems to be the ghost of the Aixin Jueluo family's "fighting in the nest", and he will never be soft on the royal family that interferes with the government.

As early as the fourth year of Qianlong, in October and October, "Prince Zhuang Yunlu, Prince Li Honghui and other fate, the Zongren Mansion discussed the ban on the knight." He said: 'Prince Zhuang is exempt. Prince Li Honghui, Beile Hongchang, and Beizi Hongpu are all cut knights. Hongsheng is forever imprisoned. The prince of Hongjiao, who was ordered by the emperor, left the king from a lenient position and stopped working. ”

Liu Tongxun, who accompanied Qianlong to fool around with the three famous prostitutes in the capital, probably had a meritorious role in "protecting", and Qianlong promoted him from a cabinet bachelor to a first-class Zuodu Yushi. By December of the sixth year of Qianlong, Liu Tongxun, who had no fear, opened a knife to the two scholars and handed him an excerpt asking for "please stop Zhang Tingyu's promotion and transfer of his subordinates and reduce the affairs of his relatives", which Qianlong praised.

At this time, Zhang Tingyu, the prime minister of the three dynasties, could not step down, so he had to ask for a decree to dismiss the ministry. Qianlong was in a hurry, because he was free and easy, and the court decided that the old prime minister was indispensable to do things for him, so he had to keep him gently. Zhang Tingyu had no choice but to continue to work.

In the first month of the thirteenth year of Qianlong, the scholar Zhang Tingyu handed over the fold again and begged for rest, Qianlong was a happy man, tired of trivial court affairs, how could he let the respectful Zhang Hengchen leave? Again, "Wen Yu comforted him", but allowed to dismiss Zhang Tingyu's concurrent ministry and the agency.

Zhang Tingyu once again bowed to the best of his ability, so that the emperor could be free.

Qianlong felt that the troubles in the Forbidden City were unbearable, even if Weifu went out privately, there was only one place for the three girls, and it was not very interesting after a long time. Suddenly remembered that the Holy Grandfather had visited the south six or seven times, and Qi Lu Jiao'e, a Jiangnan girl, was naturally a different world. Now thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, the inside and outside, and the world is peaceful, why not follow the example of Kangxi Ye and go to the east and the south to tour, travel all over the famous mountains and rivers, look for beauties, and quickly fulfill the wish of his life.

When the emperor toured the world, he naturally had to mobilize the people, waste financial resources, and alarm local officials at all levels in various places, and he had to find a reason to make the trip. At that time, the holy grandfather toured the south or inspected the river workers, or said to pay tribute to the Ming Mausoleum, and bought the hearts of the old and young of the Han Ming Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River. Now there is no rebellion of the third prince of Zhu, and there is no river worker to inspect, he finally found a reason to go to the east of the Empress Dowager to go to Qufu, Shandong to pay tribute to the temple of Confucius's hometown, in order to declare the rule of sanctification.

Qianlong made up his mind and immediately came to Cining Palace to ask the Queen Mother for a decree. On the same day, the Empress Fucha was also in Cining Palace, and Qianlong said to the Queen Mother:

"Lafayette, you are tired of living in the Forbidden City, although the emperor has been fortunate to visit Shengjing, Rehe and other northern hometowns by the Empress Dowager, but he has never been to the south. This time, I want to go to Shandong to worship the temple of Confucius's hometown, and I will go to the east to visit the south in person with the Empress Dowager's mercy. ”

"Go to Qufu, Shandong?" The old lady said with a smile.

"When I arrived in Qufu and Jinan, Shandong," Qianlong said, "If the Queen Mother is okay, she can go south to Jiangning, Suzhou and Hangzhou......

"That's great." The Empress Dowager smiled happily and said, "In the past, Emperor Daxing, your Emperor Amma, was not at all like the Holy Grandfather, who had toured the south six or seven times. Your father only knows how to worship the Buddha and sit in meditation, or he is fooling around with some indiscriminate women, and in the last few years, he knows what kind of golden pill to eat, but he has never taken me to the south once. I've long wanted to go to Jiangnan to see and play, but now it's you who make my mother's wish come true. ”

"Then it's settled!" Qianlong didn't know that the Queen Mother had already had this wish, so she hit it off. He was walking out of the west hall, but the queen followed closely behind and said:

"Your Majesty, the concubines will live together."

"You're going?" Qianlong was stunned. In order to get rid of the queen's fetters, he could spoil other women without worries when he went to other places, but now how can he bring the queen's "vinegar jar" with him? He looked the queen up and down, and found a reason to say, "You have been getting worse recently, and you are still recuperating in the palace." ”

"The concubine is fine."

"You can't stand the dust all the way."

"Lafayette can go, and the concubines will definitely be able to go."

"I said, your body is not good. You don't have any strength at night, and your body is not as good as Galeries Lafayette's. ”

"The concubine is only in her early thirties," Queen Fucha actually knew that women were already yellow flowers after thirty, and there was no longer any attraction to impress men. She wants to follow, not to get the emperor's favor, she has faded to the bed kung fu that men and women love, and even feels bored. The only reason she wanted to go with her was because she wanted to keep her position as queen. The emperor is lucky, the queen is not around, will the subjects of the world still recognize you as the queen in the future? Thinking of this, Fucha said with tears in his eyes, "Although my health is not as good as before, I can always greet the Queen Mother Lafayette along the way and be a companion to Lafayette." ”

"The Queen Mother has the noble concubine of the Nala clan waiting for her," Qianlong was a little impatient, "You still don't go." ”

After that, he left the queen and left.

Then, the edict was sent to the courtiers: the emperor was guided by the Empress Dowager to tour Qufu, Shandong Province to worship the Confucian sage, and Fu Heng, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, was escorted by the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites instructed the provinces, prefectures, and counties along the way, and the attendants and guards, eunuchs and palace maids followed.

On the afternoon of February, Qianlong left Beijing on the Empress Dowager's eastern tour. The queen once again invited her to accompany the queen mother and serve the queen mother. Qianlong was afraid that she would be hindered and ruin his good deeds, so he would not allow him to be invited. The queen was willing to follow, and on the day of the journey, she did not ask for an order, and went to the queen mother's phoenix.

At that time, the dragon chariot left the Forbidden City, arrived in Tongzhou, abandoned the car at the canal wharf and boarded the boat, and went south along the canal.

Slowly marching in front is the queen mother's phoenix.

The queen mother's phoenix decoration is very luxurious, the bow is decorated with a gilded winged phoenix, the two sides of the side of the ship are painted with flowers and grass moire, the cabin is resplendent with gold, and the main room of the building where the queen mother lives, just like the palace. Everywhere there are banners to settle accounts, the curtains are heavy, and colorful palace lamps are hung. At night, from a distance, it looks like a fairy palace music hall floating on the water, which is dazzling.

Under the holding of the Praetorian Guard's light boats left and right, Qianlong's imperial ship was in the center, and the ships of the ministers followed behind. If there is a mooring or something, the queen mother's phoenix will be taken back to the upper stream, and Qianlong's imperial ship will move closer to meet him. Every day and night, the same is true when you cross the boat and say goodbye.

The queen Fucha secretly hid on the queen mother's phoenix, Qianlong had understood it for a long time, but he deliberately did not know that the queen was on the boat. The queen also knew that Qianlong was disgusted with herself, and she traveled along the road and did not meet Qianlong.

After walking for a few days, Guihai, the southern patrol fleet was stationed at Zhaobeikou, and Qianlong was inspected by the Empress Dowager in Shuiwei. On that day, North Korea and Ryukyu sent envoys to Zhaobeikou and boarded the imperial ship to pay tribute to Qianlong.

After the tribute envoy left the ship, Qianlong found that there was a very cute white-haired long-tailed monkey in the Ryukyu tribute. The white monkey was locked in a square cage woven with copper and gold wire, jumping freely, with a pair of big and round eyes on the white fluffy triangular face, like a baby, as if able to understand human speech. When it's happy, he'll bow to you. Qianlong teased for a while, and asked Gao Wuyong to carry the golden silk cage and come to the queen mother's phoenix.

Qianlong pointed to the white monkey in the cage and said:

"Galeries Lafayette, I've got a rare baby for you!"

"What baby, the emperor doesn't leave it to play with himself?" The Queen Mother got up from the soft couch.

"It's a very cute white monkey from the Ryukyus."

"White monkeys?" The old lady walked over with great interest, leaned into the cage and went inside, a pair of big and round eyes on the white velvet triangle face stared straight at her, just in line with her gaze, the old lady was happy, "Why is it so small, just like a flower cat." ”

"Don't look at it small," Qianlong said with a smile, "it's smart and clever." ”

"How smart can a monkey be?"

"It can somersault and say hello to Lafayette."

"I don't believe it," said the old lady, "if it really wants to be able to ask for peace, the emperor won't have to come over the boat next day, so let the little monkey ask for peace on his behalf." ”

"Lafayette doesn't believe it?" Qianlong stretched out his hand, took a piece of ham meat from Gao Wuyong's hand, handed it to the little monkey to eat, and at the same time teased the little monkey to bow and ask for peace. But after the little monkey had eaten the ham, he did not bow down, but once again stretched out his fluffy paws.

"Oh, why didn't it ask for peace?" The Queen Mother laughed on the side.

Qianlong smiled helplessly and said:

"This is a traitor, just now he bowed to me and had a good time, this time he asked him to say hello to Lafayette, but it cocked its tail."

"It's delicious, not rape." The Queen Mother took a piece of meat from Gao Wuyong's hand and teased the monkey.

After Cangzhou, it has entered the realm of Shandong.

On this day, Qianlong was on the imperial ship, and Zhu Zhu approved the excerpt of the 600 miles from the capital in the study, and suddenly remembered the story of the 300 women in the Guan Zhong of the Qi State, and asked about it. Fu Heng, Liu Tongxun, and Hongday played right, but most of them were not worthy of the purpose. There was a little eunuch Zhang Dezi beside Qianlong, who was only twenty years old, but he was cunning and wise, and he figured out the meaning of Qianlong's heart, and took the opportunity to cross the line and play:

"The prosperity of Jinan is only inferior to Yangzhou. If the saint wants to visit the ruins of Nulu, there must be a place for reference. If the emperor orders a servant to be an interview envoy, he will not have a burden. ”

When Qianlong heard this, he looked at the little eunuch carefully and asked:

"What did you just say?"

The little eunuch hurriedly replied:

"The slave said that if the master sends Xiao Dezi to interview, he will definitely get something, and maybe he will be able to visit the female Lu for 300."

"Oh, little Dezi," Qianlong thought the little guy was amused, "can you be an interviewer?" ”

"Yes."

"Quasi-purpose."

Qianlong knew that this Zhang Dezi must have seen something, so he asked him to do it, and immediately appointed him as an interview envoy to look for the relics of the three hundred female Lu.

Zhang Dezi was ordered to take a small carved building boat and fly forward. Arrived in Jinan, visited the city and countryside, and after a few days, many Qilu beauties were collected, but they did not dare to take the liberty of entering the service, for fear of being severely reprimanded.

On this day, Qianlong's imperial ship queue, one ship after another, came to the ground in Jinan. When the drizzle is light and smoky, the ripples are like weaving. The governor of Shandong, Ali Gon, and the political envoy Liu Kang led the officials of Jinan Prefecture, Dao, prefecture, and county, and knelt on the dock in a procession to wait for the arrival of the emperor's royal car. Although those big men had Luo umbrellas and canopies, they all withdrew this array, preferring to kneel in the drizzle and let the rain lick the wet robes and wear them to show their loyalty to the emperor.

Gao Wuyong stood on the bow of the imperial ship and said loudly:

"Long live the decree, the governor and admiral of Xuanshan Shandong, the officials of Jinan Mansion and the fifth grade of the province will go to the imperial cabin to see the emperor!"

"Wait for the order!"

On the wharf, there was a tsunami of "long live" sounded, and I saw the crowd of people kneeling in the black pressure squirming, and those officials above the fifth grade, under the leadership of Aligon and Liu Kang, bowed down and walked with goose and duck steps, walked down the dock, walked across the gangplank, and came to the imperial cabin where Qianlong was sitting majestically.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

The ministers knelt down and bowed their heads.

"Oh, let's all be flat." Qianlong glanced at the kneeling officials one by one and waved his hand.

"Long live thanks!"

"Aligon," Qianlong only knew Aligon, the governor of Shandong, and Liu Kang, the political envoy. Other officials, some of whom may have met when they were passed on or released from the Baohe Palace, but their impression was gone, "Aligon, how is Shandong in the past two years?" ”

"Long live Lord Hongfu, in the past two years, the ground in Shandong has been quiet, all industries are still prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment......"

"What is the peace and contentment?" Qianlong said unhappily, "In June last year, the imperial court had a famine in Anqiu, Shandong and other counties; In July, Wei hail in 20 counties including Licheng in Shandong Province was affected. Shandong, Fujian, and Shanxi have been repeatedly released from prison to hold officials hostage, and last year I sent a message: 'Recalcitrant people gather in crowds and violate criminal rules, and they have to be blamed for themselves.' The governors are earnestly guided by them, so that the foolish people may know and fear the rulers and obey the decrees. Do you remember the decree? ”

"Remember, remember." Arigon was sweating profusely.

"In the tenth year of Qianlong, I edicted the world and exempted the whole country from money and grain." Qianlong stared at Aligon with blazing eyes, and suddenly asked, "I have a clear edict, which of you can recite it to me?" ”

The ministers looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, and they all lowered their heads. Finally, Liu Kang took a step forward and recited with his head held high:

I am in the world, ten years in the world. Raise the steaming li, bow to the frugal contract,

Bo Fu is light, diligently protecting, and does not dare to have a little leisure. Present Cosmopolitan Empire

Ning, there is more than enough to hide in the left, hold the profit and Baotai, and do not first set foot in the people. The wealth of the world

, there is this number, not gathered on the top, that is, scattered below. My emperor reigned

Sixty-one years, the edict of the rent is restored, the history is endless, and the world is exempted

Money and food once. My emperor has been taking the examination every day and has issued an order to reduce the levy and levy leniency, such as Gan

Su Yi Province has been granting exemptions to the whole bank for more than ten years. I follow the chronicles

The heart of things, after the heavy and tired negotiation, wants to make the sea and the mountains wet

Daze, for is a special decree, Bingyin year directly province should levy money and grain, its

Messenger.

"Oh, Liu Kang, you are a person of heart." Qianlong nodded again and again, "Okay, it's good to do it yourself, let's be tired." ”

The ministers are the only ones who come out.

Qianlong saw the local officials in Shandong get off the imperial boat, and slowly passed the Empress Dowager Fengge to ask for peace, it was almost dusk. Sitting alone on the boat, thinking about the scenery.

Zhang Dezi, who was waiting on the shore early, saw that the emperor was distracted on the building boat, and there was no one left or right, so he stepped onto the imperial boat and came to reply:

"Long live, Xiao Dezi is back to his life."

"Oh?" Qianlong asked thoughtfully, "Did you get the interview?" ”

"Yes."

Qianlong couldn't wait to look around and asked:

"Where?"

Zhang Dezi stood outside the side of the ship, pointed to the densely populated Jinan market, and whispered:

"Now the three hundred women are here, and the emperor wants to visit the ruins, so he is searching here."

Before he finished speaking, the eunuch Gao Wuyong came in with a smile and reported:

"Master, Long Yu has arrived in Jinan."

"Good, good!" Qianlong rubbed his hands happily.

"Master, do you want to go to Lafayette to say goodbye?"

"You go and wait first, and I'll go later." After Qianlong sent Gao Wuyong away, he turned to Zhang Dezi and said:

"Today, I have a lot of time, and the scenery here is very quiet, and it is not possible to embellish it without graceful things. Besides, the people who should ask for it directly are the people who should be asked for it, and what Er Shicai said, the place where you can refer to it, is it here? ”

Zhang Dezi said repeatedly:

"Yes, exactly!"

Qianlong was overjoyed and asked:

"Have you ever brought in talents?"

Zhang Dezi repeatedly claimed that it was, and Qianlong still wanted to ask, but he only heard the sound of cars on the left bank, and pushed it from the shore all the way into the imperial boat.

Qianlong stared at it, and saw a BMW incense car, carrying many beauties, with green temples and extremely beautiful postures, all of them were twenty-eight beautiful. or holding a zither, or coercing, or holding a pipa, or carrying a pipe. Yanjuan is slender, the swallow is thin and fat, like a rainbow cloud, because the wind blows, one by one falls in the imperial boat.

Qianlong is like entering the mountain, overwhelmed. Xiao Dezi led these beauties to the front of the palace, and called them one by one, and about forty or fifty people all bowed down and listened to the will. Qianlong ordered them to sit on the ground and play in a loop.

The beauties received the emperor's will and offered their strengths. All of a sudden, the sound of silk and bamboo started, twisting and rubbing, as fast as wind and rain, slow as a firefly. It's true, the big strings are noisy like a torrential rain, and the small strings are cut like whispers; Noisy and staggered, big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate. The bottom of the warbler is slippery, and the throat spring flows down the beach; The water spring is cold and astringent, and the condensation will not be silenced for a while. Don't have a secret hatred, silence is better than sound at this time...... Although the neon clothes and feather clothes in the sky of Daluo are nothing more than that.

After the performance, they lined up again to dance, lightly dressed with long sleeves, brilliant and brilliant, and the torch was shining, varied, dazzling, and unforgiving. Qianlong was fascinated, drinking and listening to beautiful women dancing and singing:

Yanyan lightness,

The warbler is delicate,

It is clear to see Hua Xu again.

The night is long and you are fighting for a thin affection?

The early spring is dyed by acacia.

Farewell to the post-book,

Needle thread,

Stay away from the soul and chase away from the dark.

Zhunnan Haoyue cold thousand mountains,

The darkness is left unattended.

"Okay, okay." Qianlong was already drunk, so he ordered Zhang Dezi to call the most fascinating Erba Jiao'e, Qianlong held him in his arms, and while asking her to persuade him to drink, he listened to her sing again:

Climb out of the wall and flowers,

Fold the branches and willows of the road.

Flower climbing red stamen,

Fold willows and green strips are soft.

The Prodigal Son,

With my hand folding willows and climbing flowers,

It was so bad that the flowers and willows were defeated.

Half a life to make willow flowers,

I sleep in the willows.

I'm a leader of the world,

Cover the world's prodigal sons.

May Zhu Yan not change the usual,

Flower pastime,

Forget your worries in wine,

Divide tea, pick bamboo,

Playing horses, hiding lots,

Through the five tones and six rhythms are smooth,

I was very sorrowful.

Qianlong's whole body was soft, and he hummed so comfortably that he hummed in his mouth. Zhang Dezi knew that the time had come, and his kung fu was deep, so he asked the little eunuch to take out the golden silk and reward the beauty. Then he came to Qianlong Ye and whispered:

"This group of people are all night girls, as long as there is money for her, no matter what the master does, it is okay. Now the emperor is gracious, talking about rain and dew, it is really the luck of three lives, but listening to the emperor's choice, I don't know who is blessed and served by the supreme. ”

Qianlong squinted his drunken eyes, tried to open his eyes in a daze, looked around at dozens of beauties, carefully selected, and selected the ones with rich and prosperous appearances and extraordinary attitudes, a total of six people. The rest were sent back.

Qianlong took advantage of the wine at this time, leaned on the green and red, and entered the treasure tent together, it was really like a wave of butterflies dancing among the flowers, crazy like a crazy bee collecting honey into the stamen, but when he heard the obscene sound of the royal cabin, he saw the shadow rolling all night, the flowers were as thick as wine, and the meat was fragrant for nine days. The merry son of heaven occupies the spring of the world.

For several days, the ship was anchored. The emperor did not see his courtiers, ignored the government affairs, and did not go to the queen mother's boat to say goodbye. At that time, Ortai and Zhang Tingyu, who were guarding the capital, hurriedly handed over 600 miles, and the excerpts about the rebellion of the Ouning Society in Fujian Province and the excerpts about the request for exemption from the quota in Shandong Province due to the disaster were all left behind and were not opened in the yellow box. Singing and dancing day and night, night and night with the "three hundred women" as the joy of Wushan clouds, rain, fish and water. At that time, the only thing that was avoided was the Queen Mother, and there was nothing to be afraid of except the Queen Mother. Therefore, in the court, in front of the public, Lang Lang, and in full view of everyone, the prostitutes in the boat will never avoid people, and they will hide from the Queen Mother alone.

The left and right chamberlains, the Manchu and Han ministers, don't know this secret. As the days passed, it gradually reached the ears of the queen. At the beginning, the Empress Fucha was not convinced, so she went outside the ship in person, carefully investigated, and knew that it was true, and was not shocked. When he returned to the boat, he couldn't sleep at night, so he sat up at midnight, intending to cultivate a very sincere and sad stamp, to discourage Qianlong, and hope that he would repent.

The queen made up her mind, and immediately ordered the palace maid to shop silk and grind ink, and wrote directly on the yellow silk with the palace lamp. Empress Fucha has read poetry and books since she was a child, and she is originally quick to think and write like flowing water. A bitter admonition was written, and the sound of singing and dancing in the distant boat was still continuous, hiding his face and crying.

Until the middle of the night, I heard the neighing of people and horses next to the imperial boat, and the noise gradually receded. The queen said that the prostitutes had dispersed, and leaned over the ship to look at the boat. Suddenly, seeing the bright lights and hanging high masts, the queen saw the red palace lamp, and her heart became even more sad, and she cried out in her voice:

"Indulgence and failure, once it is here, it is really incorrigible."

It turned out that the Qing Dynasty was a rule, and whenever the emperor was lucky, a red light would be hung on it. Nowadays, although it is a long journey, the chief servants still follow the old classics and hang red lights as signs.

In addition to the queen's grief, where can she endure it. Wiping away his tears, he took care of his night makeup a little, jumped up, called the eunuch, told him to lead the way, go to the imperial boat, and admonish him.

When the eunuch heard this, he hurriedly blocked:

"At this time, the four drums have been handed over, and the emperor has been sleeping for a long time. Moreover, the slave maid heard yesterday that the emperor once played the queen mother, saying that the mother disobeyed the will and forced her to come south, and she should only serve the queen mother in the boat, and she should not enter the imperial boat lightly. Let's say that the Holy Ancestor is touring the south, and the Queen Mother has allowed it to play. If the mother goes to the imperial boat without permission, not only will the emperor be angry, but also afraid that there will be another change, if there is a chapter, you can send the slave and maid to go tomorrow, do not support it personally, and cause unforeseen disasters. ”

The queen was silent for a long time, pointed to the red light of the imperial boat and asked:

"Halfway through the emperor, there are no concubines waiting, who is the fortunate one, can you tell the truth?"

The eunuch replied:

"Mother, the minions don't understand very well. I heard that it is the 'Nulu 300' ...... in Jinan."

"What 'three hundred women'?"

"The minions don't know very well. I heard that the emperor sent a little eunuch to search for it. The ancient kings were clouds and rain, and the Tang Dynasty fell into dreams, and there were romantic things to pass on to future generations, and the mother did not have to be in the middle of it. ”

The queen sighed:

"You do not understand the meaning of this, but you suspect my actions, out of jealousy. I really don't know my heart. I married the emperor at the age of twelve, and my love was deep. The emperor inherited the unification, and he had the wisdom of the world, and the world wanted peace and praised the saints. Now the emperor is lazy, comparing the maze of Emperor Yang of Sui and the leopard room of Emperor Wu of Ming, there is still no comparison. In the long run, the century-old foundation of the Qing Dynasty is bound to overturn. I am a noble pepper house of the Fucha clan, and I am close to each other, how can I sit back and watch the emperor? ”

"That's what the mother said."

"If the emperor can listen to my words, it will be the blessing of the society and the luck of the Zongmiao court. You don't have to persuade me. ”

The eunuch saw that the queen's mind had been decided, and knew that it could not be recovered, so he had to let her out of the cabin and go to the royal boat. At this time, the sky was bright, and the queen crossed over, and went to the bedroom without waiting for the inner servant to pass on the order.

Qianlong was hugging two prostitutes, sleeping soundly, one prostitute heard the sound of footsteps from her sleep, opened her eyes and looked, and saw a woman approaching, with luxurious clothes and radiant spirits, knowing that she was a noble person in the palace. hurriedly put on his clothes and fled, but he turned around and woke up Qianlong. Raising his eyes to look around, he suddenly saw the queen, holding a yellow silk in her hand, standing there.

Qianlong was very shocked in his heart, and asked:

"What are you doing here?"

The queen knelt in the tunnel:

"There is a need for the emperor to inspect."

Qianlong said angrily:

"When is this time, when do you dare to come to the royal couch, do you have to plot against you? Otherwise, why would he dare to go straight into the bedroom without being conveyed by the eunuch! ”

The queen distinguished:

"The concubine is dependent on the grace of Heshu, the mother is the world, and the holy driver lives and lives, and she is the concubine's close attendant. Besides, now that the long-distance travel is now, the emperor's dragon body should be especially good to maintain and recuperate, which is the duty of the concubine, and he does not dare to give up lightly. ”

"Alright, alright, I'll be fine, you can go."

"Your Majesty," the queen knelt and refused to leave, "I heard the emperor's excessive behavior and wanted to admonish him, so he was so urgent." Why did the emperor have to be suspicious and jealous for plotting wrongdoing, and he still hoped that the emperor would think about it a little. ”

After that, he pointed to the two prostitutes and said:

"How can such fireworks be approached? If there is a shocking son of heaven, who is responsible for his crime? ”

When Qianlong heard this, he became more and more angry and said:

"Do you still want to argue with clever words?" The queen knelt on the ground, refused to get up, and said:

"The concubines have been on the throne for a year, even if the emperor is angry, he should also think about the incense, try the concubines, and don't hate them even if they die."

At this time, Qianlong had already put on his clothes and sat up, instructed the two prostitutes, and told them to retreat to the rear cabin. He turned his head and glared angrily, and did not say a word.

The queen repeated:

"The emperor has a clear understanding, the concubines really don't have it, but they have been added such a notoriety by the emperor, how can they have the face to take charge of the six palaces again? The concubine is willing to resign from the throne and wait for the virtuous. However, this piece is where the blood of the concubines lies, and if the emperor does not give it to her, the concubines will not dare to retreat. ”

Qianlong was forced to take over the recital and say:

"Get up."

The queen stood there.

Qianlong read and read the music, the inside is complicated, the language is straightforward, and he roughly compares the maze building and the leopard room, and the defeated country and death are a warning. Before Qianlong finished reading it, he was already furious, approached the queen, and criticized the queen's cheeks and said:

"I am Sui Yang Mingwu, do I want to kill the country? As a **, you dare to speak unscrupulously, curse and bow, it is tolerable, which is unbearable! ”

Then he threw the song to the ground and ordered the eunuch to blast her out. The queen was beaten to the ground and shouted:

"Ancestors and ancestors, in the spirit of heaven, the heart of the concubine."

Qianlong became more and more angry and said:

"This person has a mad disease, how can he be the mother of the world, he was rushed out, imprisoned, and listened to my fate!"

The queen still refused to get up on the ground, and Qianlong hurriedly put on her robe and ordered to drive to the queen mother. The queen crawled forward, hugged Qianlong's feet and begged him to finish the recital, but refused to let him go.

Qianlong was hugged by the queen and couldn't get out, so he was furious and kicked the queen down with all his might. hurriedly stepped over and headed towards the Queen Mother.

At this time, the sky was just dawning, and the Queen Mother was still sleeping on the couch in the phoenix cabin. Hearing the footsteps outside, he leaned and asked:

"Who?"

The palace maid came in and said:

"Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor came to say goodbye."

"Call him in." The Queen Mother then sat up.

Qianlong walked in with an angry face, greeted Qian'er, and stood there without saying a word, just panting.

"The emperor's face is not good, what's wrong? Didn't sleep soundly last night? The Queen Mother slipped down from the couch and asked several palace maids to dress and take care of makeup.

"The emperor didn't sleep well, and the queen ran over to wake him up before dawn." Qianlong was in a rage, and he didn't care about the relationship with the queen for more than 20 years, he was angry and angry, and he counted the queen's unreasonable troubles, but he didn't mention a word about his prostitution.

The Queen Mother has repeatedly heard the queen's earnest advice, and knows that she is a person and her temperament is too clumsy and stubborn. Then he comforted Qianlong, ordered the eunuch to hold the festival, and summoned the queen to come.

The queen crossed the boat, wept and wept, kneeling and bowing to the festival.

The Queen Mother said:

"I have repeatedly admonished you, but you always refuse to listen, and the temperament of the bamboo shoots born in June will never be changed. If you are allowed to come here again and always be by the emperor's side, the greater the sins and the more serious the transgressions will be, and even your life will not be saved. I'm planning for you, so it's better to leave the emperor for the time being. ”

"Queen Mother Lafayette-" The queen almost fainted when she heard this.

But the Queen Mother said to herself:

"There is a palace in Daming Lake in Jinan, which was originally changed by the Zen forest, so you might as well live in the nunnery for the time being. When the holy car returns to Luan, the holy anger is relieved a little, and I will try to welcome you back to the palace. I don't know what you mean, but would you like to meditate here? ”

Seeing that the queen mother was deliberately partial, the queen expected that the dispute would not come, so she stopped for a long time before crying and said:

"Knowing that I don't obey what I say, I forcibly admonished and blocked it, and my heart is exhausted, and I am worthy of heaven and no one else."

"Then you can practice!"

"It is a great blessing for the Queen Mother to make her concubines practice here to avoid being cut off by the Jing people and digging out the eyes of Zixu. The concubine is willing to cultivate here, and she will not have the face to return to the palace in the future, and she is willing to have fish porridge and rice for this life. ”

The queen knew that the queen mother intended to protect the emperor, and there was no way to avoid it, so she had to thank Ci'en and cry bitterly and quit. At that time, Qianlong had already returned to the imperial boat first, and the queen wanted to find him and ask why, but she was so stunned that there was no way to see him. The queen mother had already informed Qianlong of the queen's willingness to become a monk, and Qianlong urgently ordered the inner supervisor to take back the queen's seal and scarf, and remove the left and right guards, leaving only a small inner supervisor to send the queen to the nunnery for driving.

The nunnery referred to by the Queen Mother is on the edge of Daming Lake, the scenery is excellent, although there are not many houses, the place is quite quiet. The queen brought a small inner prison into the nunnery, the music stove and the tea stove, and the scriptures in person, and since then she has been isolated from the world forever.

When the queen mother saw that the queen had become a monk, she immediately ordered the eunuch to pass on the message, saying that the queen was suffering from a sudden illness and was being treated in a certain nunnery. This is exactly what it is:

There is no husband and wife righteousness in the cheeks,

Mao'an suddenly heard that a noble person was coming.

Qianlong continued to tour Qufu in the south, and on the way, he only told the king and ministers that the queen suddenly contracted a mad illness and cut off her hair. It should have been abolished, because she had been in the middle palace for more than ten years, and she was ordered to practice repentance in Daming Lake.

Since then, no one has mentioned it.

There is a folk legend in Jinan:

A few years later, the queen died of illness in the nunnery. The magistrate Feizhang entered the report, and Qianlong passed the decree that the imperial concubine should be used to treat the funeral, and no temple should be built. Several Manchurian officials argued, saying that although the empress was infected with madness, she had not been abolished and should be buried with a posterior ceremony. Qianlong stayed in the middle and did not send it, and no one dared to consult the court again, and later generations had a poem about Qianlong reprimanding the queen for the nun:

The clouds carry the clouds back to the unique hand,

Don't learn Wen Zhao Wangmengjin.

Nunnery but false pepper room ceremony,

He was still in Zhongchen before his death.

It's just folklore.

In fact, the Queen Mother's disposition, although Qianlong breathed a sigh of relief, but Qianlong and the Empress Fucha still have some affection after all. Qianlong originally wanted to use the queen mother to suppress the queen's stubborn temper, but he didn't expect Lafayette to send the queen into the cold palace and let her go to Daming Lake to become a nun.

The dirty water was spilled and never recovered. What's more, it was the emperor's own small shoes for the queen to wear, but the only thing that had a little effect was that Qianlong later restrained a little on the way to the east and south. The public prostitutes of the "three hundred women" did not dare to stay overnight on the royal ship. He sometimes summoned the noble concubine Ulanala to spend the night; Sometimes greedy for wild meat, but also when mooring, guided by Zhang Dezi, go ashore to look for flowers and willows, no longer recruit people on the royal boat, for fear of provoking the Queen Mother Lafayette unhappy.

Calm down, the urgent performance handed by the prime minister of the capital also has a criticism:

Fujian Ouning will be a bandit and order the general soldier Liu Qizong to arrest him;

Disaster-stricken counties in Shandong, relief in January;

the Minister of the Guard, who replaced him with Aligon;

Yihai, the decree: exempt from Zhili, Shandong through the state and county three-tenths of the amount to buy people's hearts.

Wu Yin, the emperor arrived in Qufu to worship Confucius in favor of the Empress Dowager, and stationed in Qufu County. The following is a half-true and half-untrue record of the sacrifice of Confucius and Empress Dowager Feng to Mount Tai in Dongyue:

Wu Yin, stationed in Qufu County, exempt from stationed in Qufu, Shandong, Thailand

The three counties of An, Licheng have been given an annual amount. He has been released

, Confession Konglin. Yi Shaohao Mausoleum, Zhou Gong Temple to sacrifice. Lives to stay cranks

Huang Qi for the Dacheng Palace, give the Holy Father Kong Zhaohuan and the Doctor and other banquets.

At noon, he was stationed in Tai'an Mansion. Guiwei, on the sacrifice of Dai Prison Temple, Feng

The Queen Mother ascended to the throne.

In March, the second unitary was reduced, and the Zhili, Shandong Prison, Suspended Execution, and the Army

Shed the following sins. Ding Hai ordered Bandi to go to the Jinchuan military camp to negotiate military affairs

。 Zhang Guangsi and Bandi transferred Yue Zhongqi to the military camp to serve as the general army

。 Wuzi, up to Jinan Mansion, fortunate Baotu Spring. I am ugly, and I am on the top

The Empress Dowager parades and pays homage to the Emperor Shun Temple. Geng Yin, read the city, fortunately

Lower Pavilion. Exempt from the tidal disaster in five counties such as Yuyao in Zhejiang Province and this year's grain. Renchen

, the Empress Dowager led the queen to return. 癸巳, exempt from Anhui Shexian County

and so on, the county health of seven states was given water last year. Yiwei, up to Texas

Boat, the queen collapsed......

It is said that it is half-true and half-untrue, because the activities of the Empress Dowager Qianlong in the following days, such as the worship of Confucius Temple, Daiyue Temple, Dengtai Mountain, Huiluan Jinan, Xingbao Baotu Spring, and so on, are generally good.

Semi-unreal, it is the relegation of the Empress Fucha to the Daming Lake Nunnery, without mentioning a word. This can be imagined: the official history of the past dynasties, especially the emperor's "Benji", those royal literati, want to sing praises for the emperor, how can Qianlong order Xiao Dezi to secretly visit the "300 female Lu people" to openly prostitute people, the queen's death, and the scandal of the queen mother's demotion to the empress in the nunnery, and the official history of the calendar is written into the "present era"?

The official history didn't dare to write, but it also showed its feet.

For no reason, the queen died when she was "Yiwei, went up to Texas to board the boat". Empress Fucha was only thirty-seven years old when she died, more than twenty years younger than the Empress Dowager Niu Hulu.

Although the queen has some problems with the phoenix body, it is just like the noble concubine Wulanala clan can't satisfy Qianlong's strong ** of "thirty like a wolf, forty like a tiger", so Qianlong wants to vent on Qilu wild prostitute. Such a middle-aged woman, if there are no special blows and accidents, how can she not save her life in the emperor's tour? During the eastern tour from February to March, there was no record of the queen's serious illness, she was really sick, and the imperial doctor was with her, so why couldn't she be rescued?

There must have been something that happened in the true history. Maybe the queen died in the Daming Lake Nunnery, and she couldn't think of hanging the beam to commit suicide; It may also be that when Qianlong returned to Luan, he did bring her on the imperial boat and phoenix, so there is a saying that "the empress dowager led the queen to return to the palace". When she arrived in Texas, the queen couldn't think about it and committed suicide by throwing herself into the water.

In this way, the record at the end of the "Honki" is easy to understand.

…… The queen collapsed and ordered Prince Zhuang Yunlu and Prince Hongday to serve as emperors

The Queen Mother returned to Beijing and was stationed in Dezhou. After summoning Yan Wei back to Beijing, he took care of it

Cong was the governor of Hedong Province, and Aibida was the governor of Zhejiang. Co-organizers

Liu Yuyi, a bachelor and a secretary of the ministry, died. Xin Chou, return to Beijing. big

The line of the queen Zi Palace to Beijing, Feng'an in the Changchun Palace. Dropped out of the dynasty for nine days

……

If there had been no unhappiness and unhappiness between the emperor and the empress in Jinan, and the Empress Fucha had died, Qianlong would never have let Prince Zhuang and Empress Dowager Hongdayfeng return to Beijing first, and he would continue to stay in Dezhou to "work". If his relationship with the queen is still as deep as before, he will definitely start with the queen's Zigong and return to Luan with the queen mother.

Because of the "court affairs" he did in Dezhou, it would be better to visit Zhu Pi when he returned to the capital, and there was no need to stay in Dezhou for a few more days.

No matter how secret the history is, it naturally reveals the horse's feet, revealing the real mud claws and snow marks.
