The queen of Hangzhou City sharpens green silk

Qianlong's first southern tour, because of the death of the Empress Fucha in Jinan, Shandong, and later the queen committed suicide and returned unhappily. But Qianlong still remembers the beautiful scenery and beauty of the south of the Yangtze River. As long as he has the opportunity, he will take his concubines all over the world to have a good time. Since that time in Jiangning in the sixteenth year, Zhang Tingyu, a scholar of the Zhitai Po University, had had a long talk with him in his twilight years, asking him to admonish extravagance and luxury, and seemed to be condemned by his conscience, and twenty years before Zhang Tingyu's death, he no longer dared to swagger to the south. In those years, he went to Chengde Summer Resort to escape the summer with the Empress Dowager, went to Shengjing to worship the ancestors' tombs, and went to Mulan to hunt.

Whenever Qianlong went to a place, in addition to eating, drinking and having fun, he was also elegant and elegant, and liked to compose poems and inscriptions. He toured the south six times in his life, toured the east and the north countless times, and traveled to all the prosperous and rich places of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, in these places, his poems are left everywhere, and his imperial poetry tablets, word tablets, inscriptions, and monumental pavilions with many names are left everywhere.

Qianlong's imperial poems in his life, with a total of five collections, 434 volumes, and 42,778 poems, are not only the most in China, but also probably the most in the world. The great poet who was old and had the most poems in the ancients, in the Tang Dynasty, was Bai Juyi, a famous place in Tibet, seventy-five volumes before and after, three thousand eight hundred and forty poems; In the Song Dynasty, it was a land tour, with a total of eighty-five volumes and 10,000 songs. The poems written by Qianlong in his lifetime were more than 2,000 times that of Lu Fangweng.

However, none of Qianlong's poems can be included in the poetry anthologies of the past dynasties, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a pile of text garbage. Just because he was the emperor, at that time, he was a treasure for the ministers and officials who were flattering to him, and he was offered to the temple, engraved on the cliffs and stone walls of the mountains and rivers, and made the imperial poems. has worked so hard and wasted money, and I don't know how much people's fat and people's ointment have been consumed. Time has passed, and no poem can be recited for posterity, which is a great irony of power.

The Qianlong stele erected in the Mulan enclosure alone includes: the poem tablet of Longhua in the sixteenth year of Qianlong, the "Tiger Spear Monument" in the Moon Xigou of Camel Head Village in the seventeenth year, the "Ancient Great Wall Tablet" in Yin Village in the same era, the "Poem Tablet of the Tiger in the Enclosure" in the twenty-sixth year of Shui Anpai in Lugou Village, and the "Anmangka Tablet" in the thirty-ninth year, etc. These inscriptions are all more than three meters high, and the highest is up to five meters. The poem tablet of "Yu Mulan" is engraved with three Qianlong poems.

Qianlong wrote the "Hammer Peak Song" cloud in Chengde:

The vault soars and the clouds flow,

The pavilion is more suitable for autumn.

A round of ice mirrors is complete,

There will be a thousand hills.

Qianlong's imperial poem "A Cloud Building" says:

The white clouds are just born,

Glancing at Xiuyun, it was all over.

Thousands of changes are sent quietly,

Unintentional thoughts.

Qianlong inscription Wenjin Pavilion "Fun Pavilion" poem:

Outside the pavilion rockery pile blue snail,

What is the name of the pavilion?

The sound of the spring and the shadow of the tree are placed in the right,

Jing is more interested in poetry and books.

The three of his poems recorded here are nothing more than explanations of Qianlong's so-called more than 40,000 imperial poems, all of which are such meaningless words and phrases carved and piled up by the wind and the moon, because they are "imperial systems", and have been preserved in many places of interest until today. and became a joke for later generations to ridicule the imperial power.

In the first month of the spring of the thirtieth year of Qianlong, when the court affairs were properly arranged, Qianlong served the empress dowager and the queen Nala clan to start the fourth southern tour. This was a tragic tour that cost a lot, was the most extravagant, disturbed the people, and finally made the queen Nashila helpless to cut her hair and became the second in the Fucha clan.

The ministers of the driving force include Ji Xiaolan, a university scholar, Fu Heng, the minister of military aircraft, and an inexplicable little guard "Xiao Shenzi" who was favored by Qianlong.

壬戌, starting to leave Beijing, exempt from Zhili, Shandong through the state and county of three-tenths of the amount. In February, the Empress Dowager Feng crossed the river with the queen, read the Qingkou East Dam, Huiji Gate, and arrived in Jining, Shandong. Although the queen of the Nala clan is upright, she does not dare to forcibly admonish the queen mother by her side. Along the way, Qianlong did everything, and there was a "little Shenzi" to pimp for him, so he was happy.

Jiao'e, the beauties who were victimized by the people, talked about it with the ministers, and said that she was the son of the saint, who was deeply benevolent and kind, and was in harmony with the people. There is only gratitude between the grass and fields, and there is no suspicion, so whenever the imperial ship arrives, the people will watch and admire, and they will not be guarded.

One day, the dragon boat sailed from Shandong to Jiangnan, but there was a Chun incident in Jining Prefecture: the governor of Shandong immediately participated in the impeachment, and he wanted to get rid of Yan Xishen of Zhizhou. As a result, he picked up a stone and hit his own foot, and it was his own governor who wore it, but Yan Xishen picked up a bargain.

It turned out that this year, Shandong was flooded, Jining Prefecture was particularly flooded, Zhizhou Yan Xishen, because of his incident, the local people asked for emergency relief. Yan Xishen's mother, He, gave out cangsu to help the hungry. The governor of Shandong was impeached because he did not obey the order and issued Cangsu without permission.

On this day, the imperial ship docked in Jining, and the governor of Shandong led the local officials to meet the emperor, and he heard about this Chun matter in person.

When Qianlong heard this, he was furious and said:

"There is such a good mother and good official for the country and the people, and the governor is not able to protect the performance, but participates in the impeachment, how can he serve the public?"

At the moment, he applied for the governor's resignation, and immediately promoted Yan Xishen to the governor of Shandong, and gave his mother He's three products to the canon. The queen mother heard that Yan Xishen's mother loved the people like a son, so she summoned her to Fengge, praised her in person, and gave her silk and plaques.

Ho thanked him and retreated. Later, Yan Xishen became the governor of Henan in a few years, which was the favor of the southern tour.

Of course, there are those who have received favor, but there are many more who have suffered.

Not to mention the side things, that is, the royal boat traveled all the way, and the harassment of the supply soldiers and guards along the way made the local chickens and dogs restless, which was unbearable. It is also necessary to collect young beauties from the people to go to serve them, and erect barriers on both sides of the strait, like piles of brocade and emeralds. The beauties wore glorious brocade clothes and trousers, held the green cable, walked slowly, and sang slowly in their mouths:

Drunk and drunk,

The wind is soft and the moon is in the sky.

When the resort is a festival,

The boat danced.

Fortunately my feet are light,

Pink all the way.

Jiangnan is full of flowers,

The Son of Heaven sleeps in flowers.

The breeze blows, and the melodious rhyme makes people fascinated by it. Qianlong looked out of the window and thought he was laughing. When he met a beautiful woman, he immediately let "Xiao Shenzi" announce that he was on the royal boat and laughed at him. When I arrived at night, I picked the extraordinarily beautiful one to stay in the cabin and wait, and then put it ashore when I had had enough.

Qianlong's tour this time, that luxurious and extravagant, is no different from Emperor Yang of Sui's tour of the south of the Yangtze River, there is really a scene of "the spring breeze to cut the palace for the whole country, half as a barrier and half as a sail". The Son of Taiping was extremely happy at this moment, and he was so happy that he danced with his hands, like a madman, like an old naughty boy.

In fact, Qianlong was already a fifty-five-year-old man, and because of his good physique and the maintenance of the imperial doctor, he still had the lust of a middle-aged man with strong flesh and blood.

Who knew that the joy was extremely sad, and the royal car arrived in Yangzhou, and suddenly an amazing thing happened, so that Qianlong could not be arbitrarily debauched, and even went to martial law.

It turned out that the imperial ship was about to arrive in Yangzhou, and the civil and military officials and local gentlemen all drove out a hundred and ten miles away to handle supplies and welcome the holy driver. There was a gentleman surnamed Wang, who was suddenly killed by the enemy on the way. The news was about to spread, and there was a lot of disturbance, all of them saying that there were assassins.

Qianlong knew the story of the Holy Grandfather who visited the south of the Yangtze River and encountered a raider in Taihu Lake, and when he heard that a ratter had killed someone, he was taken aback and said:

"I bowed to patrol the fortunate place, and dared to assassinate the official gentry who greeted him, this person's courage and ability are really not small, but I can't help but take precautions."

Therefore, the imperial boat patrolled fortunately, and after Yangzhou wanted to cross the river, it was suddenly reported that martial law was introduced. After the news of martial law, it was terrible. Wherever the imperial boat passes, from the entrance of Beijing down, these houses along the road must close their doors and plug their windows, and they are not allowed to watch at all, and the offenders will be killed immediately.

On this day, the imperial ship docked at Jiaoshan, and the tourists on Jiaoshan had been cleared out, and even the monks and nuns in the temple and nunnery were swept out, leaving only the old and frail abbot elders who were unable to "walk" to greet the holy car on the mountain. Qianlong took the Empress Dowager around Jiaoshan for a week, in front of the crystal hermitage, Qianlong put his hands behind his back, and admired the handwriting of Chen Keqin in Changsha:

The mountains and the moon do not go with the river,

When the wind blows, the sea breeze comes.

This couplet has a cloud: "This old couplet in the mountain, I don't know who made it, it has not existed for a long time, the number of mountain monks is chanting, and the rest is very loved, so that it is not very work, or it is also said that it is false, because the river and the moon are easy to make the mountain and the moon, and the flowing water is easy to be the river water." ”

Ji Xiaolan knew that Qianlong liked to chant poems against him, and wherever he went, he would chant wherever he went, and where the inscriptions would be right. He never dared to compliment those poems and couplets of the saints. The level is mediocre, all of them are vernacular, smooth mouth, but those local feudal officials, get the poems, pairs, inscriptions of the Qianlong imperial system, such as the treasure, the carved famous mountain, the high pavilion of the carving, has become customized.

"Master," Ji Xiaolan saw that Qianlong was so concerned about this couplet, and said with a faint smile, "In the natural nunnery, there is Lin Shaomu Shangshu's handwritten book with the same couplet, and only three words have been changed, as 'Jiang Yue does not go with the flowing water, and the wind sends the sea waves directly', Bayun: 'This Zhu Wen Gong sentence, Chen Keqin did not judge it, Yi Jiangyue is the mountain moon, and the flowing water is the river water. ’”

"Oh, that's Chen Keqin's intention to change the old sentence?"

"Lin Shaomu is also wrong."

Qianlong was stunned:

"Why are both of them wrong?"

"This couplet is not a sentence of Zhu Zi, but a poem of Song Zhao Zhongdinggong with Lin Zezhi and Yao Hongfu to visit Drum Mountain, Zhu Zi is happy, and picks the four-character book of 'Tianfeng Haitao' to grind the cliff on the top of Bianwei Mountain, and the descendants built the 'Tianfeng Haitao' pavilion, so the descendants mistakenly thought it was Zhu Zi's poem."

"I see," Qianlong looked at Shigong Mountain opposite Jiaoshan from afar, and turned back and said, "Ji Yun, I have a couplet, write it down quickly." ”

"Pierce." Ji Xiaolan immediately took out paper, pens and ink cartridges from the cloth bag containing the big smoke pot and waited. Qianlong shook his head and chanted a couplet:

Entering the chamber fruit is the same as the crystal domain,

The door is open to Shigong Mountain.

Ji Xiaolan wrote it down, glanced at Fu Heng and the two beauties Yan Hong and Ying Ying disappreciably, and asked in a low voice:

"Master, the imperial system was rewarded to the nuns of the nunnery?"

"No, turn back to Yin Jishan," Qianlong Yao pointed to the Shigong Mountain Road opposite, "Tell him to build the Imperial Tablet Pavilion and stand on Jiaoshan Mountain and Shigong Mountain." ”

"Pierce." Ji Xiaolan thought to herself, it was a blessing that she didn't say that she wanted to grind the cliff and carve the wall.

The master and servant and a group of dozens of people came to the Songliao Pavilion in Jiaoshan to rest for a while, drank a cup of tea before the rain on the mountain, and then went down the mountain and went straight to Nanjing by boat.

Martial law had already been imposed everywhere along the way, and the local officials had received the holy decree, fearing that the common people would be ignorant and guilty of committing holy drives, and thus being implicated. I had to sound the cymbals and make announcements everywhere, so that the local household would be known so as not to violate the ban.

At this order, the residents along the road were terrified, and they didn't know why. How dare you disobey the orders of the government, so you have to lie indoors and don't even dare to go out of the door. Those guards who obey and protect are partial to the right and wrong, the fox is pretending to be a tiger, searching for criminals everywhere, killing chickens and bluffing monkeys.

It is said that the imperial boat passed through the Jinniu town in Jingkou, and there was an old farmer who was cultivating in the field, and he didn't have time to avoid it, but he was seen by the guards. said that he violated the ban, raised the knife in his hand, and lost his life in vain.

There is a widow behind the Kunling Station in Changzhou, who only gave birth to one son, who is only one year old, and she cries at night. happened to come to the striker, saying that she had a shocking holy drive, and the mother and son were killed together.

In the leap February, Qianlong was stationed in Suzhou Mansion with the queen mother and the temple. Jiangning, Suzhou, and Hangzhou are attached to Guo Zhu County, and Ding Yin this year. However, just when the emperor made an act of loving the people with the country's indignation, sensational bloody cases occurred one after another in the places where the imperial boat passed. The worst thing is that Suzhou was wiped out because of a little fire.

It turns out that there is a place in Suzhou, called Hushuguan, where merchants come and go, and goods gather, which is a famous prosperous market. There are thousands of residents, and there is a market in the city, and the shopkeeper is surnamed Feng. The couple is over the age of six, has no children, twins and two daughters, likes to read, and chanting. Mr. and Mrs. Feng are very cherished, and the small building where they live is close to the river, and the weeping willows are swaying, and the scenery is picturesque.

The two sisters are very dear, because they are twins, they vow not to separate, and are willing to learn from Empress E's daughter and marry the same husband. The temperament of the two is the most elegant, every spring and beautiful time, the two cherish the flowers to get up early, go upstairs to burn incense, and look at the railing to take it for granted.

On this day, the Qianlong imperial ship arrived, everyone ran to avoid, cut off traffic, people who knew the ban naturally did not dare to go out, no matter what urgency, but also to wait for the imperial boat to pass and then go to deal with it. These two sisters surnamed Feng live in a boudoir, where do they know about things outside? I got up early in the morning, my makeup was not tidy, and according to the old practice, I went upstairs hand in hand, first cleaned the ground, opened the window by the river, knocked on the stone to make a fire, and prepared to burn incense. Suddenly, I heard a fluttering sound, I don't know anything, the momentum is like a swift wind passing through my ears, and the birds flutter their feathers, looking straight upstairs to shoot.

I heard the two sisters scream and fall to the ground. The parents at home heard the shouting and ran out together to take a look, only to see the two daughters fall to the ground together, lying in a pool of blood. The only reason for the death was a long arrow that pierced the eldest daughter's cheek and pierced the neck of the second daughter.

Mr. and Mrs. Feng were so anxious that they cried loudly, begging their neighbors to visit the person who released the arrows. neighbor says:

"There is no need to visit, the emperor is on a southern tour, the imperial ship has just passed here, and it is not far away, it must be the arrow released by the guards. If it were an ordinary person, who would have such a skill to kill two people with one arrow. ”

When Mr. and Mrs. Feng heard that it was a "heavenly sin" created by the imperial guards, they didn't dare to say anything anymore, so they had to be wronged and buried. The couple was sad and sad from then on, missing their two daughters day and night, and within a few days, they became ill and died. The family was wiped out.

Gossip. Let's say that Qianlong's southern tour, from Yangzhou to Suzhou, from Suzhou to Hangzhou, and then from Hangzhou to Haining, inspected the Haitang project, and paid homage to Chen Gelao's grave. At that time, Qianlong's own grandfather Chen Shu had passed away, and his biological father, Chen Shiqi, a scholar from the official to the university, had also retired in Haining.

When Qianlong was a child in the domain, he may have heard some old slaves and old wives tell the story of "exchanging phoenixes for dragons", although he could not openly admit that it was the bloodline of the Chen family - that would lose his respect for the ninety-five, but the bloodline may have a kind of magic in the underworld, so Qianlong visited the south of the Yangtze River six times in his life, and almost every time he had to come to Haining to visit the Chen family to pay tribute to the grave of Chen Gelao.

I have visited all the famous places in the south, and I feel that there is no interest, and I am tired of traveling. Since the Queen Mother came to Haining, she has not been accustomed to the water and soil, and she has been suffering from a slight illness, and she is also anxious to return.

Then the decree was sent back to Luan, and the local civil and military officials who passed through it were greeted along the way, and still showed the etiquette of the patrol. Qianlong did not dare to stay because the queen mother's heart was like an arrow, so from Huzhou to Haining to Hangzhou, the dawn and night did not stop, very fast.

In the second month of the leap month, he returned to Luan and was stationed in Hangzhou Palace again. Because there was too much backlog of twists and turns from the 600-mile rush transmission in the capital, he was stranded in Hangzhou for many days to deal with the backlog of cases. Yimao, because of the rebellion of the Wushi Hui people, Su Cheng, the minister of affairs, quickly went to the army to deal with it. Ding Si, plus Shen Deqian, Qian Chenqun, Prince Taifu. Ordered Mingrui to enter and suppress the Wushi Hui Department. Geng Shen ordered Mingrui and Erjing's prime minister Wushi to do military affairs, and Mingrui controlled the armies. Ordered Gui and Mingliang to go to Yili to do business. Yisi, give Ili a new garrison city named Huiyuan, Hash back to the city said Huaishun.

During his stay in Hangzhou, he dealt with the backlog of cases during the day, and was accompanied by "Xiao Shenzi" at night, quietly sneaking out of the palace, or going to fireworks and willow alleys, singing and dancing boats to listen to music and playing strings, or simply staying in the brothel of the Qinglou. The queen Nala accompanied the queen mother day and night, played finch cards, listened to small songs, and did not pay much attention to the emperor's whereabouts. Later, I heard a personal palace maid inadvertently say:

"Niangniang, the emperor has not been in the palace for the past two nights."

"Where have you been?"

"The slave maid heard from the old eunuch Gao Gonggong that it was Luan Yiwei's 'Xiao Shenzi', who accompanied the master out every night after dark and came back the next morning."

The empress felt that the problem was serious, and after so many days in Hangzhou, the emperor ignored the empress dowager's repeated requests to start driving on the grounds of handling government affairs. The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt at ease. In the evening of that day, she asked Yanhong and Yingying to accompany Lafayette and took the time to come to the emperor's bedroom.

Just as Qianlong was about to go out with "Xiao Shenzi", the queen stopped him and said:

"Master, it's getting dark, where are you going?"

"I have something to do with Hangzhou." Qianlong wanted to coax the queen.

Nara came prepared, and smiled softly:

"There is something going on in Hangzhou Mansion, and you still use the master to deign to go in person? Send a servant to call the prefect of Hangzhou. ”

"Mouthy!" Qianlong said angrily, "Is it me going or someone calling me, do you still need to say it?" Can you know that there is a law in the Qing Dynasty, which strictly prohibits the inner palace from interfering in politics? ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." The queen grasped the handle, and said fearlessly, "It's not the concubines who interfere in politics, the concubines preside over the six palaces, and they are responsible for the emperor's night travel." I heard that the master did not rest in the palace for the past two nights, but was with the fireworks woman in the Qinglou, and the concubine was deeply worried about the safety of Banzai, and also worried about the dragon body of Banzai......"

"You, you—" Qianlong was hit in the sore spot, annoyed and angry, and roared and scolded, "You are worse than the Fucha clan, and you dare to let people follow me?" Whether I go to Hangzhou Mansion or Yanliu Qinglou, I need you to investigate! How do you know that you have committed a great sin of disrespect? ”

"The concubine knew that when the queen of the Fucha clan was in Jinan, she was forced by the emperor and the queen mother to cut her hair to become a nun because she told her master that she should not spoil the fireworks prostitute, and finally committed suicide......"

"You, you're crazy!"

"The concubine is not crazy, the emperor is crazy. You have been stranded in Hangzhou for the past few days, called the handling of the backlog of cases, and you are really fascinated by the fireworks girl here. Humanity is 'there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below', I didn't think that the emperor was fascinated by the famous mountains and rivers of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and even the prostitutes who were worthless in Suzhou and Hangzhou were also addicted. There are thirty-six famous concubines in the palace, and there are so many promises, always there, and palace e, which one is not as clean and beautiful as the ** in the Qinglou......"

"Get out! Get lost! Get lost! Qianlong glanced at "Xiao Shenzi", and he was about to go out as soon as he flicked the sleeves of his robe. Nala is really tough, she dared to step forward and drag Qianlong's robe sleeves and said:

"The saint prides himself on filial piety, today we will be ordinary husband and wife and go to Lafayette to evaluate the theory."

"You're the opposite!"

"Men are heaven and women are earth, men are gods and women are kun," Nala took his life to discuss the length of the world, "There are no men and women, what is heaven and earth, the emperor is the most respected man, and the queen is the cheapest is also a woman." As the emperor and queen, they must do their duty. As everyone knows, the Emperor Xuanzong lost his country, and Tang Xuanzong's favorite concubine lost his government excessively, which led to the disaster of Ma Wei, and the emperor ......"

The Nala clan entangled Qianlong with a thunderous thunderbolt for a while, and pushed the queen to the ground with a palm, and kicked it again. Nala got up from the ground, pulled a pair of scissors out of his sleeve, and said with a sly smile:

"Okay, let's do it as it should be!"

Qianlong took a step back and shouted:

"Someone! The queen is crazy, and she wants to do it......"

Several guards outside the door ran in when they heard the sound, and when they saw the queen holding scissors, they trembled with fright and did not dare to approach.

Nala threw away the crown on his head, his hair scattered, and shook his scissors and laughed wildly at the guards:

"Don't worry, there is no one here who wants to slash the emperor, and the emperor wants to force the queen to cut her hair and become a nun. Okay, you don't have to work hard, there is a Fucha sister's car as a reference, and the concubine twisted her hair herself! ”

As she spoke, she danced her scissors and twisted her beautiful green hair away. The long green silk hair was scattered all over the ground, bluffing Qianlong, Xiao Shenzi and the guards and eunuchs dumbfounded.

The queen finished her hair, cried "wow", held her blue white head in both hands, and rushed out like a madwoman.

This happened at the end of the second month of the thirtieth year, and the queen who twisted her hair was no longer a queen, and Qianlong told the queen mother about it. The queen mother is already a seventy-year-old woman, she also knows that it is difficult to be a queen and a woman, in view of the fact that there has been a queen who cut her hair and was forced to commit suicide, the old woman no longer dared to favor the emperor and forced the queen into a nunnery in West Lake as a nun. Another queen committed suicide, and spread the word that this royal will be stinking for 10,000 years.

The Queen Mother was also tired of traveling, and she asked the emperor to divide the people and horses to escort the Queen Mother and the Queen back to Beijing. As for the queen's loss, she kept it a secret and let the Nala clan wear a phoenix crown and return to the palace and never see anyone again.

When Nala returned to Beijing, he was depressed and could not afford to fall ill, and died in the palace in less than a year. Qianlong ordered that only the imperial concubine should be treated for funeral - this Qianlong Ye was indeed a merry emperor and ruthless.

Qianlong also had a concubine surnamed Wei, a Han nationality, and when she was raised into the Manchurian flag, she added a "Jia" character to her surname and changed her surname to Wei Jia. She is the daughter of Wei Qingtai, the leader of the inner management. When Wei Jiashi first entered the palace, he was just a nobleman, and later he was promoted to a concubine and concubine. In October of the twenty-fifth year of Qianlong, Wei Jiashi gave birth to a boy, who was later Emperor Jiaqing.

In July 31, after the death of Empress Nala from depression, Wei Jia was named the imperial concubine and oversaw the affairs of the six palaces.

Qianlong no longer dared to canonize the queen.
