Chapter 51

Spread the secret decree to the general to smash back to the ministry

The martyr concubine mourns the soul of the incense

It is said that after Qianlong sat firmly in the country, in the first year of Qianlong, there was an envoy sent by the Great Khan of Zhun Geertai Ji Gar Dance to Beijing to pay tribute. Since then, the military situation in the northwest has become a stalemate, and there is a fight and a fight. Qianlong ordered Wang Chang and Lang Baixiu to go to Orkun to investigate Tuntian. Ordered Yileshen, Acheng'a, and Hadai to be the counselors, and to cooperate with the Commander of the Ling, and to be stationed in Orkun together.

In November of the second year of Qianlong, because the military situation in the northwest has been confusing and has not been fundamentally resolved, coupled with the inappeasement of Yunnan, Guizhou and Miaojiang, Qianlong re-set up the military aircraft department that he had revoked, and ordered the scholars Ortai, Zhang Tingyu, Shang Shuneqin, Haiwang, Lang Nayantai, and Bandi to be the ministers of military aircraft, and ordered Fuyuan General Zhaohui to guard Ili.

In December of the second year of Qianlong, he went to the palace of Taihe, officially canonized the concubine Fuchar as the queen, and served the queen mother in the palace of Cining, Qianlong led the kings, ministers and scholars to celebrate the completion of the ceremony, returned to the Taihe Palace, and then accepted the congratulations of the ministers, and issued an edict to add grace and reward. Because of the canonization of the queen's ceremony, plus the empress dowager's emblem, it said: Chongqing Ciyi Empress Dowager.

Once again, the Empress Dowager was in the Imperial Cining Palace, and once again led the kings, ministers and scholars to celebrate, and issued an edict to reward grace.

Look at "Qianlong Benji", Qianlong, the son of peace, is sometimes really boring and ruthless, and deliberately finds something to do.

In the first month of the spring of the third year, Jiayinshuo, the first Yuan Zheng Dynasty congratulated, and led the king to

As such......

This is just a short paragraph in the "Gaozong Benji" that records the life and life of Qianlong who had nothing to do. It turned out that the emperor was idle, so he engaged in formalism: led the king and the following ministers of civil and military affairs to celebrate the queen mother, "every year"; Hold a sutra feast, another "every year"; In order to show that the "emperor Lao'er" also wants to eat grains, attach importance to agriculture and mulberry, plough the fields with his relatives, add a push, and then come to a "every year", this "plus a push" is vivid, can this stand it?

In the military evening, Qianlong thought about something else.

Qianlong already had the sisters of the Empress Fucha by his side, and accepted Yanhong and Yingying as concubines, but his heart was still insufficient. I often heard the Zhun Geergong envoy and people who came back from Xinjiang say that there was a princess in Kashgar's "Hui Department" (the Uygurs in southern Xinjiang were called Hui in the Qing Dynasty), who was born extremely beautiful, and her body emitted a strange fragrance, which was naturally fragrant.

This princess who exudes fragrance all over her body, and the people in the Hui department call her Princess Xiangxiang. Qianlong was bent on getting Princess Xiangxiang into the palace and personally appreciating it to see if she really had the legendary body fragrance, so that she could be happy. Qianlong ordered Zhaohui, the general of the Western Expedition, to pay attention to Princess Xiangxiang. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was fighting against the rebels of the Erut Mongol Dzungar tribe in northern Xinjiang. After Zhaohui defeated the Dzungar tribe, the Hui princes launched a rebellion again. Qianlong ordered Zhaohui to go south, not only to quell the rebellion of the Hui tribe, but also to capture Princess Xiangxiang alive.

Zhao Hui received the order, how dare he slack off, and immediately entered the army. Do you think how the Kashgar Hui Department can withstand the central soldiers, after a few battles, they have already been captured alive by Zhaohui Huo Jizhan and his wife, the chief of the Hui Department. Princess Xiangxiang also searched for it from the chaotic army and sent it to Jingshi.

When Qianlong received Zhaohui's secret music, he was overjoyed and urgently ordered the local officials along the way to take care of it, so as not to let the wind and frost and damage the color.

After many days, Zhaohui triumphantly escorted Huo Jizhan and Princess Xiangxiang into Beijing in person. Qianlong ordered Princess Xiangxiang to temporarily live in the west side hall, and waited with the palace maid and eunuch.

Zhaohui dedicated Huo Jizhan and his wife, but he didn't know that Huo Jizhan's wife Hipalhan was also a beautiful country. Qianlong was secretly surprised, but because he was worried about Princess Xiangxiang, he had no intention of thinking about this Uygur woman, Xipalhan. hurriedly passed the reward, and ordered the whole family of the chief of the Hui Department to be put in the prison of the Criminal Department, and then sent it another day, that is, to drive to Sinei to see Princess Xiangxiang.

Princess Xiangxiang is very strange, when she first arrived in the palace, she was calm, talking and laughing, and she had no hatred of losing the country. When Qianlong came to talk to her, her face suddenly changed, and she was as cold as frost.

"Are you Princess Xiangxiang?" Qianlong looked at the Uyghur girl carefully and asked.

"Yes and what, no and what?"

"What's your name?"

“……”

The Uyghur girl, sixteen or seventeen years old, has a melon seed face, a pair of slender willow eyebrows, and a pair of deep and light blue eyes, like a dark and clear green lake. There are countless delicate pigtails on his head, and he wears a small flower hat woven with gold wire, which sets off the beautiful face of the fairy even more moving. When you enter this room, you smell a faint fragrance. Qianlong had long been fascinated by this ubiquitous aroma.

"Why don't you speak?"

“……”

"Do you understand what I'm telling you?"

"You're speaking in the language of birds, not people."

"Oh, hahaha," Qianlong laughed, "you still understand what I have to say." I speak the language of people, and you Hui people speak Hui language, and Hui language is like bird language, isn't it? ”

“……”

"I like you," Qianlong stepped forward and reached for the slender hand of the Hui girl, who shook her hand and took a step back, staring at him with an angry gaze. Qianlong Wu smiled and said, "Are you willing to be my concubine?" You have a different body fragrance from ordinary people, is it okay for me to make you a fragrant concubine? ”

"You have exterminated our Hui tribe, captured our chieftain and his wife, killed our brothers and sisters, can I sleep with an enemy and be your concubine?" Princess Xiangxiang continued in a hurry.

"I'm the Emperor, you know?" Qianlong was not angry, and said with a slow smile, "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the land is not the king's minister." You are all my subjects, and your leaders helped rebel against the court, so I sent troops to attack you, how can I say that I have 'exterminated' you? That's your own fault. ”

"Well, kill me!" The girl sat down and tilted her head to one side.

"How could I kill you?" Qianlong stretched out his nose to smell the Uyghur girl's hair and body fragrance, "It's too late for me to love you, be careful of your liver, little baby, where does your fragrance come from?" ”

Princess Xiangxiang twisted her face to the other side.

Qianlong turned around, and said with a hippie smile:

"Do you have jasmine or roses? I smelled it, and in a trance there was osmanthus incense, red sandalwood, and rui incense......"

“……”

"You're talking to me!"

“……”

No matter how you coax her, she will no longer pay attention. Qianlong couldn't think about it, so he had to ask a palace maid who could speak well to persuade her in private.

"Princess, your name is Princess Xiangxiang," the fat young palace maid said with a jealous expression, "Long live Lord has taken a fancy to your fragrance, so he called the slave maid to persuade you." Do you know that these three palaces and six courtyards, and three thousand palace beauties, each younger and more beautiful, are all great beauties selected from the top of the country. They all scratched their heads and posed, dreaming of being favored by the emperor. Have a night of joy with the emperor, if you give birth to a dragon son and phoenix girl, eat and drink spicy food in this life, wear silk, satin, mink fur, live in the deep courtyard of the palace, and there are countless palace eunuchs in front of you to serve, and you also want to shade the nine clans to worship the prince and worship the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, such a good thing fell under your nose, why don't you want it? ”

"You want to, you send all your sisters to the palace."

"My mother is old, and my sister looks like a fat pig like me, long live the lord who doesn't like it!" The fat palace maid said cheekily, "I can only make mattresses for them, take off their dresses, wash the toilet, and watch the emperor have sex with these concubines, and stand aside and stare dryly." Who is lucky enough to be like you, a little girl from a foreign country, the emperor liked it at first sight. I'll tell you honestly, Banzai doesn't like it, it's for nothing; Long live the Lord to like it, you can't escape, and if you don't like it, you have to do it. At this time, the emperor wants the slave maid to come and tell you, you have to wash it clean, make it shiny, and tonight the slave and maid will send you to the Heart Cultivation Palace, so that the Lord of Long Live will spoil you......"

"What do you mean by pampering?"

"Hahaha," the fat palace maid smiled and leaned back, "pamper you...... What is pampering? Let's put it this way, it's to sleep with you, to kiss you, to do that kind of extremely happy thing with you. ”

"I'm a captive, I'm not happy," Princess Xiangxiang said innocently, "how can he do happy things with me?" ”

"You're still a virgin?"

"What virgin?"

"That's it...... I've never slept with a man......"

"I've been sleeping with Abba and Mommy since I was a kid."

"It's not that kind of sleep."

"What is sleep?"

"It's the man who sleeps on you, strips naked, and puts him under the body, one ...... the other," said the fat maid, gesturing, "and that, what we call the cock - what are you called, and inserting it into your lower body......"

"That's a rascal!"

"Yes, that's the kind of hooligan way to do it......"

"I won't do it!"

"If you don't do it, you have to do it!"

"Get out!" Princess Xiangxiang roared.

"I can't roll, I can't roll, come and ......" The fat palace maid stepped forward step by step, and said with a smile on her face, "I'm going to undress you, there are two large tanks of hot water prepared outside, and the long live lord ordered you to wash your body...... How can I roll? Come on, come on......"

Princess Xiangxiang covered her bodice with both hands and retreated, but after all, she was still a sixteen or seventeen-year-old slender and small girl, where could she compete with the infinite arm strength of the fat palace maid? I saw that the fat palace maid grabbed her as if she had caught a chicken, and she took off her Hui silk clothes layer by layer. When she took off to the last layer, just revealing her breasts as white as snow, revealing a pair of girl's breasts that were as tall as snow-capped mountains, Princess Xiangxiang suddenly cried, took out a sharp Ingisha knife from the sleeve of the bodice she had just taken off, and cried and cried:

"The country is ruined, the family is broken, and the will to die is long-lasting, but it is useless to die, and you will want to repay the lord with it. If the emperor persecuted, he would be able to fulfill the girl's wish. ”

When the fat palace maid saw it, she was taken aback, and wanted to seize her sharp knife, Princess Xiangxiang took a step back and said with a cruel smile:

"It's useless for you to take it, there are dozens of knives like this hidden in my suitcase, can you take all my knives away?"

The fat palace maid had no choice but to return Princess Xiangxiang's words and deeds to Qianlong one by one. Qianlong didn't dare to force it anymore, for fear that he would accidentally send Xiao Qingqing's life in a hurry, so he had to strictly order the palace people to serve carefully and not to be lazy. But from time to time, she was fortunate to be happy, thinking that after a long time, she gradually forgot her heart of missing her homeland, and she could accomplish good things. Unexpectedly, Princess Xiangxiang's will is very strong, and after a long time, she often misses her hometown and tears.

When Qianlong heard about this, he hurriedly ordered the Internal Affairs Office to build a Huihui-style building in the Xiyuan Vacant-Law, with a Huihui-style bathroom in the room, Huihui-style tiles embedded in the walls, and a portrait of a beautiful woman in a room was hung. This building was called Baoyue Tower at that time, and it is now the Xinhua Gate of Zhongnanhai.

On the opposite side of Baoyue Tower, Qianlong also built a Huihui-style church, outside the city wall of the imperial city, set up a Huihui camp, built a Huihui street, and transferred a lot of Huihui from Kashgar, Xinjiang, to drive back to the store and home on the street. The buildings such as the city hall and the chapel are exactly like the style and pattern of the Western Regions. Let Princess Xiangxiang watch upstairs to win her favor.

Qianlong thought of many methods, the purpose was to please Princess Xiangxiang and Princess Xiangxiang smiled. This is a bit like the promiscuous king of Shang, who raised the fire to play and laughed at him. Who knew that when Princess Xiangxiang saw this situation, she became more and more sad, and this matter spread, and when the queen mother heard about it, she was greatly surprised:

"This woman is vengeful, and it will be a disaster if she stays for a long time."

hurriedly summoned Qianlong to Cining Palace and said:

"Princess Xiangxiang is not obedient, it is better to kill her to fulfill her ambition, if she is not willing to kill her, she should also be let go back to the Western Regions, so as not to be a disaster."

"Queen Mother Lafayette, don't worry about this, the emperor has his own proper arrangements."

"You still want to take her heart?"

"As long as the kung fu is deep, the loess will turn into gold."

"You're so infatuated." The Queen Mother muttered, "After all, she comes from a wild place, and she doesn't understand humanistic education, doesn't she just have a body fragrance?" Those concubines of yours, let them apply more perfume and fragrance every day. ”

"Ancestor, this incense is not the other." Qianlong said with a smile, "You haven't seen Princess Xiangxiang before, if you want to see each other, you must be in love, don't say the word 'kill', even if you send it away, I'm afraid you won't be able to give it away." ”

"Well, you've got a point. Let's be tired! ”

Qianlong came out of the Queen Mother Lafayette, still full of hope that Princess Xiangxiang would change her mind and enjoy the blessing of gentleness, and she was willing to listen to the Queen Mother's persuasion.

The Queen Mother saw that Qianlong did not listen to persuasion, and she did not say much. When the summer solstice festival comes to the next year, Qianlong will worship the heaven and earth at the Temple of Heaven, and he will stay in the palace one day before. The Queen Mother took this opportunity to summon Princess Xiangxiang into Cining Palace, and instructed the chamberlain to lock the palace door, and the emperor was not allowed to open it when he came.

Then Princess Xuanxiang Xiang asked:

"Since you refuse to submit to the emperor, what are you going to do?"

Princess Xiangxiang held her head high and said:

"The country is ruined, and the family is destroyed, but there is only one death."

"What kind of country is broken, what kind of family is ruined?" The Queen Mother sneered, "You Hui are all subjects of the Qing Dynasty, and if you rebel against the imperial court, you will naturally be subject to the imperial court's requisition and lessons." ”

"We didn't betray the imperial court, it was the Junggar tribe who rebelled. The Qing Dynasty boiled us up. ”

"This, you tell the emperor. Since you are unwilling to submit to the emperor's will," the Queen Mother frowned and pondered for a while, and said categorically, "Today, Lafayette will give you death, are you willing?" ”

Princess Xiangxiang heard the words and said again:

"The queen mother's grace of opening heaven and earth, so that Xiangxiang can return to her hometown after the funeral, and go to see the ancestors cleanly, Xiangxiang is very grateful."

The Queen Mother said with praise:

"What a woman with aspirations, I will fulfill you." After that, the herald introduced Princess Xiangxiang into the side room and died with silk.

At that time, Qianlong was in the palace, got the information, and returned to the palace in a hurry. The palace gate was locked, and no one was allowed to enter. Qianlong couldn't cry loudly outside the door, and it wasn't until Princess Xiangxiang was angry that the Queen Mother ordered the door to be opened.

Qianlong entered and saw that Princess Xiangxiang was dead but her complexion was like life, and his heart was really sad. Just because the Queen Mother was in front of her, she didn't dare to cry uncontrollably, and sent a decree to add a thick coffin and bury it next to Taoran Pavilion with a concubine ceremony.

Some of Princess Xiangxiang's clothes were transported back to Kashgar, Xinjiang, by the Hui people, and buried in the tomb of Hezhuo. In this way, thousands of miles away on the outskirts of Kashgar, there is also a tomb of Xiangfei.

Later, someone erected a tombstone on the big grave next to Taoran Pavilion, and the word "incense mound" was engraved on the stele, and a poem was engraved on the reverse side of the stele:

Vast sorrow, vast catastrophe,

The song is not over, and the bright moon is missing.

Yu Yu Jiacheng,

There is blue blood in it.

Bi is also at the end of time,

The blood is sometimes extinguished,

A wisp of incense is not broken.

Yes? Isn't it?

Butterflies.

This is a word made up by some elegant literati and scholars, and this cannot be counted. Because Qianlong is not Liang Shanbo at all, and Princess Xiangxiang is not Zhu Yingtai, there is no love between them. Princess Xiangxiang refused to die, and Qianlong's love for her was only the possessiveness of the king, and the temporary infatuation with her body fragrance was ** naked lust, which could not be said to be true love.

None of them can "transform" into "butterflies".

Looking at Qianlong, he withdrew from Cining Palace, suddenly unhappy, if he was lost, he wanted to go to bed, and he felt very lonely. Suddenly remembered that on the day of capture, I once saw the woman of the Hui chieftain, extremely beautiful, no less beautiful than Princess Xiangxiang, who was the wife of Huo Jizhan, the chief of the Hui Ministry, and is now in prison in the Ministry of Punishment. Just because I love Princess Xiangxiang, I haven't thought of this person.

Now that Princess Xiangxiang is dead, why not summon her to come and pamper her? After thinking about it, he ordered the inner servant to fly and ride to summon the return of the woman.

He served the emperor's will and came to the criminal department. It was already the third watch, and the guard on duty at night had already slept peacefully. Suddenly, there was a decree in the inner court, and he woke up from his sleep, put on his clothes, and went out to look. I saw two chamberlains holding Zhu Yu and immediately mentioning the woman. The clerk was shocked:

"I am a humble position, and I have no right to directly accept the order, and besides, I open the prison door three times in the middle of the night, if it changes, how can I afford to bear the sin."

The inner monitor listened, where can I bear it, and roared loudly:

"What a big priest, when the holy decree comes, you dare to resist and disobey the order, I think you are impatient to live, and this head doesn't want to ask for it."

Seeing that the internal supervisor was so urging, the clerk was in a dilemma, staring at him in vain, unable to think about it. Thanks to a prison officer, he said:

"We did not open the prison door, and we said that we had disobeyed the holy decree and opened the prison gate, and the heavenly officials were held accountable and could not afford to bear the sin. At this time, there was no other way, so I had to invite Man Shangshu to come, and if I got his word, it would be fine. ”

When the clerk heard this, Lian said that he was justified, and he personally rode a horse, ran like a fly, knocked on the door of Man Shangshu, told him the reason, and invited him to come to the prison. The Shang scholar inspected Zhu Yu and found that there was no mistake, so he had to order the lock to be opened, and the Hui woman was brought out and handed over to the eunuch. The eunuch had prepared the vehicle and sent it to the palace overnight. The next day, Qianlong went to the court and saw the ministers, and the Manshang book was about to start playing, Qianlong knew what he meant, and hurriedly said to him:

"Huo Ji is tired of resisting the king's division and straining my troops, which is really a great crime, and I have ruined his wife." Laughing.

Man Shangshu heard Qianlong's words, so he had to retreat silently. Qianlong returned to his wife, was very pampered, and was often lucky.

However, in history, the one who was really named a concubine by Qianlong was neither Princess Xiangxiang nor Huo Jizhan's wife, but another Huihui girl named "Xi Parhan". Her official title is "Concubine Rong", which means "outstanding talent".

The father of Concubine Rong "Hipalhan" is Ali and Zhuo, and her brother is called Turdu. Both Hui and Zhuo Po Ni rebelled together with Huo Jizhan. Turdu and his uncle Eseyin fled to the territory of Burut (Kyrgyz). Later, the Qing ** sent Zhaohui to attack Huojizhan, and Turdu and Eseyin led a group of Brute soldiers to help Zhaohui's generals attack Kashgar. Due to his meritorious service in quelling the rebellion, Zhaohui sent him to Beijing to meet Emperor Qianlong. In September, Ese Yin arrived in Beijing and was crowned as an auxiliary prince by the Qing Dynasty.

As a result, Turdu and his sister "Hipalhan" also set out from Xinjiang and traveled for several months to Beijing. Tur was given the title of taiji, and his sister "Hypalhan" was elected to the palace. Because "Hippalhan" is also a return, the appearance is very similar to the Xiangxiang princess that Qianlong loved, and the body fluids also have a slight fragrance, Qianlong saw the difference, and regarded "Hipalhan" as the dead Xiangxiang princess. began to make her a nobleman, and soon promoted her to a concubine and concubine. This is the "Xiangfei" of folklore.

Qianlong doted on Concubine Rong like Princess Xiangxiang, and in the palace, Qianlong took great care of Concubine Rong's national habits. When she was still a nobleman, she was rewarded with Xinjiang cantaloupe and other tributes, which were more than ordinary concubines. Most of the imperial meals given to her were dishes such as mutton, chicken, duck and vegetarian dishes.

At that time, there was a Uyghur chef named Nuermat in the Qing Palace, who specialized in cooking Hui meals such as "Gu Lunqi" (pilaf) and "Di Fei Yaze" (Hui Hui Cai), waiting for Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong was in the palace, and Qianlong authorized her to wear Uygur clothes, and it was not until she was named a concubine that she made a new Manchu-style crown jewelry and court clothes. In the thirty-sixth year of Qianlong, Concubine Rong accompanied Emperor Qianlong to visit Mount Tai and Qufu in Shandong again, and Qianlong once rewarded the concubines with a lot of food. Other concubines all have pork stuffing sticky balls, pork skin jelly, pork belly and the like, but Concubine Rong's dishes are spring bamboo shoots mixed with tofu, mutton tatashi, crispy pot residue, soy bean porridge, fried fruit.

Concubine Rong returned to her hometown because of her longing, and she was depressed. Qianlong was afraid that she would get sick because of this, so he built a Huihui camp outside the imperial city, which was wide and more than two miles. All the dwellings in the camp are taken from the customs of the Hui people, and the residents during this period ordered the Hui people to fill it. Special compilation of two leaders to dominate the crowd.

I am afraid that the concubine will not be able to return to the camp often, and her heart is still unhappy, so she will build a very tall building in the sea of the imperial city, and name it Baoyue Tower, as a place for the concubine to dress. Standing high on the city wall, she saw the return to the camp to comfort her homesickness. So far, the ruins of Huihuiying and Baoyuelou still exist, and it can also be imagined that Qianlong's indulgence was defeated that day.

On April 19, the 53rd year of Qianlong, Concubine Rong died of illness in the palace and was buried in the Yufei Garden in the Qing Dongling Tomb in Zunhua County, Hebei Province. On the front and sides of her coffin, there are handwritten Arabic gold characters, which are a phrase from the Qur'an: "In the name of Allah." ”

Concubine Rong was fifty-five years old when she died.

Later generations have a palace poem to sing about this matter:

The beauty grew up in Wanxi,

Looking back at the scenery of my hometown, I am fascinated.

The emperor is affectionate and builds construction,

The high-rise buildings cover the low sunset.
