Chapter 57
Daughters and grandchildren are ashamed of their children
The murder of the emperor and grandson is suspected of being tens of millions of dollars
In the first month of the 21st year of Qianlong, he was deprived of his knighthood because he delayed the military plane due to the attachment of the prince of Horqin, Sebuteng Balejur. The Khalkha prince Erlinqin Dorji was beheaded for indulging Amur Sana. The so-called "forehead attached", that is, the royal son-in-law, the forehead attached to the lord was imprisoned, and the prince was beheaded, and the queen mother was stimulated by this and was depressed in her heart. In February Xinhai, the emperor wanted to send the Empress Dowager to Shandong again to worship the Confucian Temple and Kong Lin, but the Empress Dowager did not make the trip.
When he was about to Qiluan to go to Shandong, he received a report that the rebellious Amur Sana, who had been let go by Prince Erlinqin Dorji, had been captured, and Qianlong temporarily changed his route and went to Tailing first.
Jiayin, Qianlong Tailing. Three-tenths of the amount of the prefectures and counties through which Shandong is exempted from direct subordination and five-tenths of the places with poor harvests are given to buy people's hearts. Yi Mao, the royal car arrived in Shandong, Yi Konglin. Exempt from tidal disasters in three counties such as Shandong Haifeng. Renchen, relief from floods in Shandong Lanshan and other prefectures and counties.
In March, he drove to Qufu and visited the Confucius Temple. Geng Wu, the release of the ceremony. Confucius Forest, Shaohao Mausoleum, Yuansheng Zhou Gong Temple. Qufu Ding Chou annual quota is exempted, and 17 counties such as Zou County, Shandong Province are relieved of floods.
At the end of the month, we will drive back to Luang.
On this day, Long Yu traveled to Zhuozhou, and the holy car was just about to pass, when suddenly an old monk with a young child knelt beside the road, stopped Luan Yu and said:
"Your Majesty, the grass people have grievances!"
Ah Gui, the minister of military aircraft who was driving, secretly thought that there were gangsters disguised as monks and the emperor, and immediately jumped off the horse. At that time, more than a dozen imperial guards had surrounded the old monk. Luan Yu had been forced to stop, and Ah Gui asked sharply:
"Who is the kneeling person, don't you know that it is a capital crime to drive in shock?"
"The grass people are an old monk, why are they shocked?" The old monk knew that the person who came to ask him must be a senior official in front of the emperor, so he kowtowed and said, "The old monk wants to return a royal dragon to the emperor." ”
"Nonsense!" Ah Gui stepped forward to mention the old monk and said viciously, "The royal dragon son is all in the Forbidden City, how can you return the dragon son?" ”
At this time, Qianlong opened the curtain and asked:
"What's the matter?"
The old monk looked up and saw that Emperor Qianlong was about fifty years old, and his temples were white. He got rid of Ah Gui, pushed a seven or eight-year-old child next to him forward, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, this young boy is the grandson of the Holy Lord, the king of Doro Luduan, who has been scattered among the people for many years."
"Oh?" Qianlong was stunned suddenly, carefully looked at the young boy who looked thin but somewhat resembled his blood, and asked, "How do you know that it is the king of Doluo Duanjun, and what is the basis?" ”
"The basis is the old monk."
"What do you mean by that?"
"It was the old monk who took over this poor child from the hands of the fourth elder brother Fujin back then, and this is the evidence."
Qianlong was greatly surprised when he heard this, and immediately ordered the two to be brought back to Beijing, carefully inquired, and then decided. Why didn't Qianlong check the authenticity of it at that time, and actually took a young child of unknown origin to Beijing?
It turns out that there is also a history of defeat and extinction of humanity, which is really amazing to say!
Qianlong's fourth son is named Yongcheng, and he is the king of Duanduan. Yongcheng has two side blessings, one is called Du Niang, she was born beautiful like a fairy, and she is deeply favored by Yongcheng, but her temperament is jealous and extremely fierce, and Yongcheng is very afraid of her. A jasper from a small family, called Huanzhi, although young, was not loved by Yongcheng, but suddenly became pregnant. That favorite concubine Du Niang, because she has no children, is jealous in her heart, and wants to secretly murder her.
But it happened that there was a monk and Yongcheng had a deep relationship, saying that he was good at physiognomy, Yongcheng asked him to see who had a son in the life of the second concubine, and the monk said:
"That young Fujin will give birth to a noble son."
Yongcheng believed his words very much, and knew that the fruit was pregnant, and knew that the pet Ji was very jealous, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he rewarded the maidservants and ordered them to protect them carefully.
Although the favorite concubine wanted to murder, she couldn't do it for a while. When it was time to give birth, Yongcheng was ordered to go on a business trip, and the favored concubine took this opportunity to order her henchman to snatch the newborn child and ask her to strangle her and abandon her in the wild.
The monk suddenly came, bribed the maidservant heavily, and secretly took the child away, and then returned the words of abandoning the wilderness. After Du Niang abandoned her child, she pretended that her newborn son died because of pox, and although Yongcheng returned from hearing about it, she didn't dare to ask because she was afraid of Du Niang. The young Ji Huanzhi cried day and night and missed her son, and soon died of illness.
One day Yongcheng entered the palace, Qianlong suddenly recalled the grandson of the pox, and immediately asked Yongcheng, Yongcheng said:
"At that time, the ministers were far away because of an errand, and they had to ask Du Niang to know about it."
Qianlong summoned Du Niang to inquire, and when Du Niang came, she saw that her daughter-in-law was born rich and beautiful, and her beauty was incomparable. Qianlong was secretly surprised: "This woman's appearance is the same as Concubine Xiang, and I should stay in the palace to make up for her shortcomings." ”
When asked about giving birth to a child, Du Niang's mouth was like a river, and he was completely prevaricated, Qianlong was deeply pleased that he could speak well, and the idea of leaving her in the palace became more and more decisive. After thinking about it, he ordered the eunuch to pass a message to Yongcheng:
"Du Niang is versatile and understanding, I want her to enter the palace to wait for the Queen Mother, and she will be able to win favor."
How dare Yongcheng disobey the will? had to endure the pain of cutting his love and leave his favorite concubine in the palace. Qianlong made her live in the depths of the green sky of the Old Summer Palace, and never let her go out, and later she was named Concubine Hong, which won Qianlong's favor.
Yongcheng was both sad and unhappy when he lost his son, and he fell out of favor. Qianlong knew that he had a grudge and was furious. He instructed the inner supervisor to use poison to secretly enter the food and drink, and poison Yongcheng to death, only to say that he died of violent illness.
On that day, he arrived in Zhuozhou, and suddenly met a monk with a young child, claiming that the son of the king of the county was killed by the side Fujin, and the monk rescued him. Now I know that the saint has driven here, and I am bold to hear it. Qianlong also had some rumors at first, and he thought that Yongcheng had no children, so he brought it back to Beijing to stay in the palace to extend Yongcheng's lineage.
After returning to Beijing, he went to Cining Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, and then went to the depths of the green sky of the Old Summer Palace to inform Concubine Hong of the intention of meeting the emperor's grandson in Zhuozhou and staying in the palace. When Concubine Hong heard this, she knelt down and wept bitterly, kowtowed, and said:
"The emperor wants to kill his concubines, but the concubines dare to disobey."
Qianlong was shocked when he heard this:
"I didn't want to kill Aiqing, where do you start with this?"
Concubine Hong cried:
"Isn't the matter of keeping the emperor's grandson the emperor want to kill his concubines? No matter how many years have passed, the truth is indistinguishable, even if it is true, in the future, the king of the county knows that the concubine will become a blessing forever, and if he enters the emperor, he will be deeply ashamed, and if he wants to take revenge, the concubine will die. Moreover, the past things will also be publicized to the outside world, and the concubines will have no shame to restore the emperor. ”
After the performance, he cried and insisted that the emperor give him a quick death. Qianlong listened to her words and said after a long time:
"Concubine Ai doesn't need to worry, I should be in accordance with the Qing's performance, that is, I will send this place to the Zongren Mansion for interrogation and be sentenced to death, so as not to leak the secret."
Concubine Hong was happy and grateful.
The next day, Qianlong summoned the Minister of the Interior, E Rong'an, to come forward and discuss this matter:
"Yongcheng's son has been dead for seven years, and the Zongren Mansion has a record, and the son here must be a traitorous monk who intends to be rich and famous, so you can look up to your body and quickly verify the authenticity, so that the village children will not be able to pretend to be the flesh and blood of the heavenly family."
Erong An was ordered, but only retreated. When he came to the Zongren's Mansion, he summoned the Zongren, and when he passed on the will, he asked:
"Liegong, who is responsible for the trial of this case - the holy will is clear, but it can prove its falsity."
There is a person named Baocheng in the Zongren Mansion, who was originally a confidant of Erong An, and he promised to be able to handle this case. Erong An was overjoyed, so he ordered Baocheng to interrogate, that is, to pass the monk in. The old monk walked in, and said fearlessly:
"Yongcheng County Wang Zhong is thick and stocky, believes in the Buddha, since then with the poor monk for more than ten years, since the side of the blessing Jin Huanzhi is pregnant, he can not restrain his joy, almost nothing to talk about the old man. He said that Dafujin Du Niang was jealous, and what he was afraid of was that Xiaofujin would have extraneous branches when he gave birth. When he went out on an errand, he specially found the poor monk and said that Huanzhi was going to give birth within this month, and he was going to go out, so he couldn't rest assured that he wanted the old man to take care of it......"
The monk recounted the relationship between Yongcheng and himself, with sincere words and generous intentions, and the judges of the jury were moved.
"Therefore, when the poor monk heard that Du Niang was really going to kill the child, the old man bribed the maidservant and said to her: 'Saving someone's life is better than creating seventh-level luxury.'" As long as the son of the king of Yongcheng County is handed over to Lao Gao, Lao Gao will chant scriptures for her every day in front of the Buddha and ask for blessings. In this way, the children of the king of the county were in the hands of the poor monks and survived the abandoned corpse wilderness......"
The monk said reasonably, and the interrogators and others all bowed their heads silently, and only the chief judge Bao Cheng argued viciously:
"There are drawbacks in this case. Since you have adopted this old dog, why don't you declare it back to the county king as soon as possible, and you must wait until seven years later, when the emperor arrives to make a statement? I expected something different. Besides, the behavior of the village here is cheesy, and he has a vulgar appearance with sharp-beaked monkey gills, and he must not be a dragon. You can lead the monk down and bring the child with me, and I have my own way of interrogating the truth. ”
Left and right agreed to the promise, led the monk, and brought the young children. Bao Cheng stood up suddenly, and criticized the young child's cheeks and said:
"Where are you a village child, dare to come and pretend to be the emperor's grandson, this crime deserves death, do you know?" With that, he took out his saber and raised it to the young child, "If you don't recruit it from the truth, it will kill you immediately." ”
After this bluff, the young boy cried loudly:
"I really don't know who I was born in, and I don't know what the emperor and grandson are. When I was three or four years old, I called the monk my father, and the day before yesterday the monk said that I was the emperor's grandson, and asked me to go with him to see the emperor, saying that it was my own benefit, so I was willing to come. Now that he wants to kill me with a knife, I am willing to go back with the monk. ”
As he spoke, he cried. Bao Cheng took the opportunity to say:
"How? This child is a village child, and now he has confessed that the monk's conspiracy is treacherous, and the crime cannot be punished. ”
The jurors knew that the young child was bluffed, so they confessed indiscriminately, and there must have been twists and turns. Just because they were afraid of the momentum of the success, they didn't dare to object, and they were silent. According to the young child, he was sentenced to prison, and he heard about it. Qianlong passed the decree, the monk made a decision, the young child was ignorant, and he was tempted by others, and sent to Ili.
The monk threw him to the city of Cao, and when he was executed, he shouted loudly:
"The faint master is a traitor and a fox inside, and a greedy wolf outside, and he kills his grandson in vain, and man is not as good as a beast. The poor monk feels that he will always become a confidant of the day, and he will extend the incense of people's flesh and bones. is the so-called unrighteous person in the world, I will die for the devil and avenge him! ”
In every word, the prisoners were afraid that they would interfere with the holy face, and they rushed to carry out the execution. The monk scolded until he died. On the way to Ili, the young child was also killed by Baocheng's henchmen, and the Yongcheng lineage became extinct.
This is the legend of Qianlong's extermination of humanity, forcibly occupying his daughter-in-law, and finally killing the emperor's grandson. Later generations have a poem about the "pseudo-emperor grandson" case:
Sizi has no room and is different from the Han Emperor,
Because of the dragon species hidden underneath.
Never beautiful with the sword,
The empty envoy monk died with hatred.
