Chapter 55: Wang Mang's Modesty and Humility (3)

Qianlong thought about the garden and stirred up You Mingtang.

There are many ways to deal with the Qing generation's old ministers who invite fame and buy straight names and commit Yan Jin's admonitions-after all, everyone in the world is the emperor's minions, and a text prison can be opened if he says a wrong word. As for the so-called historical pen, it is a joke, those who are historians are all coated, and the imperial court still bans and destroys books at every turn, and it is called a peak when it comes to the Siku Quanshu.

It's just that although people are easy to deal with, it's not easy to make up for the loss of interest. You Mingtang made such a fuss, and even the two princes of Heshuo who were involved reported to the government affairs, and the emperor didn't even give a banquet, so he hurriedly retired.

According to the old practice, when the emperor came to the villa, he would inevitably meet the Mongol princes and give them a banquet. What Mongolian princes, red-clothed and yellow-clothed lamas, and Prince Heshuo all had to go to the banquet to show their favor. As a result, You Mingtang made such a fuss, and the luncheon originally scheduled to entertain the four Eastern Mongolian princes was not held at all, Prince Zhuang and the prince retired, and Qianlong also returned to the harem angrily.

From the back of the main hall of the Yanxun Mountain Pavilion, it is another courtyard next door to the Buddha Hall. The middle pond rockery, across a stream, the living water around the corridor through the house. The surrounding houses are surrounded by corridors, and there are large glass windows in the vermilion fence, and cicada wing veils are hung inside.

Qianlong's concubines all live in this courtyard, the east chamber lives in the Jing Concubine Chen Jiashi (Chen Jingyan), Chun Concubine Wang's, the north side of the main hall hangs the plaque of "Jingyun Shen", is the main hall where the queen lives. There are also more than a dozen rooms in the west chamber, where the noble concubines Nala and Niu Hulu live.

The two people in the West Chamber love to be lively, and there are all kinds of birds, cats and dogs in the Inner Palace in Beijing, but the queen loves to be quiet, and she lives in a courtyard, and she has to stay with it. When Qianlong arrived here, the queen was teaching her brother, although Concubine Jing was favored but was squeezed out, so she simply didn't make up a piece, only the Nala clan, Niu Hulu clan and Wang clan were all playing cards in Niu Kulu's room, Wang's eyes were sharp, and he saw Qianlong coming in with Wang Li, and said busily: "The master is in!" "I got off the kang when I turned around. The Nalan clan and the Niu Hulu clan were also busy throwing cards and going down the kang, the whole sideburns and vibrating clothes tended out, and they quickly approached the Danqi of the Jingyou Hall and knelt down, and the Yingsheng Yan said to be safe: "The master is auspicious!" ”

"Get up!" Qianlong nodded with a smile, nodded with a fan, and asked, "You are playing cards again - where is your master?" Wang, you are the chef, how much food did the queen eat? Wang got up with the crowd, squatted Shuangfu'er and replied: "The master is very happy today, I have two spring rolls, a bowl of japonica rice porridge, and it is fragrant, saying that the slave's side dishes are well mixed!" After eating, he said that he wanted to check his brothers' homework, and called them in - listen, this is teaching them to speak Chinese! ”

Qianlong listened carefully, and sure enough, someone in the Dongnuan Pavilion was talking, but he couldn't hear it clearly, so he walked inside and said with a smile: "The queen only likes Zheng Er's dishes, and I think it's normal, but I love to eat your meals." Why, did you learn the craft from Zheng Er? ”

Wang pursed his lips and smiled, and whispered, "The master is actually an immortal, and he can guess it!" Zheng Er told me, don't pass on anything else, only mix side dishes, use some bean curd for everything, and mix some condiments in the bean curd that other people can't think of, so Niangniang loves to use it...... "Stop here." Qianlong stopped, smiled and whispered: "The law doesn't pass on six ears?" Whisper to me! Wang Shi rolled his hand into a trumpet shape and whispered: "A spoonful of peppercorn syrup." ”

Both the Niu Hulu clan and the Nalan clan felt that she was arrogant, and they both pursed their lips when they looked at each other. With Qianlong coming in, the Empress Fucha had already been reported and personally welcomed out of the warm pavilion. Qianlong Guo saw the eldest brother Yonghuang, the second elder brother Yonglian, and the third elder brother Yongyongzhang, kneeling in front of the kang, and a tall nurse holding the fourth elder brother Yonghui and standing by the kang.

Qianlong nodded and asked his brothers, "I've been busy for a while, and I haven't had time to check my homework." Zhang Zhao is old, you moved to Zongxue to study, I heard that Yonghuang also learned to sing Tsing Yi, Yonglian learned to copper hammer? You're really good! At your age, I have to practice kung fu for two hours a day, and the guards are not my opponents, and I have to read and write for four hours, how can I have fun? Be careful, Ming'er I asked the guards to make a fool of you and make a fool of yourself in public! ”

The queen hurriedly rounded the field for them and said: "Brother is still good, follow the Tai Supervision, go to school every day, and now I can memorize the four books." It is the junior son of the sixteenth uncle who sings Tsing Yi, and the one who sings the copper hammer is the eldest of his fifth uncle (Hongday). The subordinates also have the name of 'the third and fourth', so they are mixed. Zongxue is in charge of his fifth uncle, and he has always been not very strict, and there are nine kinds of dragons, and there are turtles and turtles. When I returned to Beijing, I naturally asked for cooking, and the clan brothers within three suits should still find a good master and study in Yuqing Palace. No, I didn't read a serious book, but I got a dandy smell, so what's good? ”

Qianlong frowned and sighed, and said: "Shu also wants to hear your Chinese (Manchu), Yonghuang, you say first: Buda, what is Buda?" ”

"Back to the emperor Ama, Buda is rice."

"Where's the palace?"

"Ordo."

"Cunning."

"Shakshan."

"How do you pronounce love?"

“……”

"Where's Barley?"

“……”

"Where's the millet?"

“……”

"Bastard thing!"

Seeing that Qianlong was so angry that she waved her fan, the queen said softly: "Your Majesty, why bother, the children are still young, and give them an hour to study." Originally, how many Manchus still speak Chinese? At that time, Ortai was the best speaker, and his three boys were ignorant when they even asked what the 'according to class' (ministers of ministries and courts) was, and he was so angry that he fainted. In fact, if you want to ask about the Four Books and the Five Classics, you still know a lot. Those down-and-out flag people outside, who still learns Chinese? Besides, the two noble lords are in front of them, and they must save some dignity for their sons......"

It was easy to persuade Qianlong to lose his breath and sigh: "Alas...... Isn't it for their good? Their brother was too comfortable, when he and the Holy Grandfather, he was only six years old, and he got up every day at four o'clock, not only learning Chinese but also learning Mongolian! I can't learn and I can't go early! What's wrong with this now, cockfighting, lackeys, stringing alleys, meeting friends, really and the folk say, one generation is not as good as the next...... This is the ancestral motto of our Qing Dynasty. Tell them that they will learn Manchu within a year and be able to write in Chinese, otherwise, even Baylor will not ban them! ”

Seeing Qianlong's pale face, the queen smiled and said: "From Beijing to Chengde, the emperor has not met his sons, and when he sees him today, he will have a thunder and fire attack!" At this time, you have calmed down, and I would like to advise you, you see that the courtiers are much more patient than the first emperor. Although he is a strict father, isn't his own body and bones tighter? - Scared a child out of tears. ”

"This is the ancestral family law." Qianlong said with a smile, "The Holy Grandfather hugged me, but he didn't hug the first emperor, the first emperor never hugged me, he hugged Yonglian and them, and I will be the same, and if I have a grandson in the future, I will also hug me." Knee to get grandchildren, knees to hug children, you know? - By the way, there are other good things, I said I showed them to you, and I forgot about them when I lost my temper. ”

As he spoke, he took out a stack of papers from his sleeve and said, "This is from Western and Eastern countries, as well as the rare objects brought back by Lao Wu from the south of the Yangtze River, and the collection of tribute orders from Mongolian princes." You see, there are desirable or rewarding people to use some left, the rest in addition to rewarding people have to be put into storage, and then transferred out of the warehouse, it will be troublesome, and you have to keep a file to attract people's attention. With that, he handed the paper to the queen. When Fucha looked at it, he saw that it was written:

Eight Banners Fushou Paste 5,000 boxes of large coral beads, 739 strings of large mirrors, 200 pieces of Qixiu amber, 240 pieces of large doro velvet, 1,000 pieces of medium doro velvet, 1,000 pieces of woven gold carpet, 40 collars of bird feather satin, 40 pieces of green satin, 100 pieces of new machine satin, 120 pieces of Chinese satin, 50 pieces of gold satin, 2,900 pieces of white miscellaneous soft cloth, 150 pieces of fine woven cloth, 300 pieces of white wool cloth, 300 pieces of white wool cloth, 15 large bell bells, 10 large glass lamps, 10 hanging glass lamps, 10 hanging glass lamps, 181 cloves, 30 quintals of borneol, 320 pounds of sweet nutmeg, 40 urns inlaid with gold, 10 roses, flower oil, sandalwood oil, osmanthus oil each 10 cans of wine, 20 barrels of elephant ivory, 20 gold-inlaid horses, 10 fine horse mirrors, 200 colored belts, 200 fine horses, 27 fine ponies, 100 short ponies, 10 fine bird guns, 20 gold-inlaid swords, 40 flowering swords, 20 gold-inlaid double sharp swords, 20 double broadswords, two licenses of the stars and moons, two water mirrors, two river water mirrors.

……

Fucha only looked at one page, and turned the back with his hands, but they were all daily miscellaneous goods, what golden begonia flower Fushou tea tray, Jin Fushou bowl, bonsai, Zhou Yun Lei Ding, Zhou Father Ding, carved box, red sandalwood cabinet, etc., densely packed with thousands of kinds, all decorated with the name and surname, number, and words of the king of the tribute country are too small to look at.

Seeing that the Nala clan and the Niu Hulu clan were all looking at each other, the queen smiled, handed over the tribute, and said to Qianlong: "It's not quite what I want." The girls who followed me were all older, and each of them was rewarded with a piece of woven gold satin, and five or six horses were enough. I don't like flowers, Wang's they are young, they can pick more. But what is this Eight Banners Fushou Ointment, it sounds like a strange name......"

"Eight Banners Fushou Ointment?" Qianlong thought about it and reacted, "That's the tribute that Lao Wu brought back this time." It's a long story, but this Eight Banners Fushou Paste is indeed a good thing. ”

"Oh, is it a tribute made by the fifth uncle? The concubine really wants to try. Fucha said with a smile.

"This matter is simple," Qianlong waved his fan and said with a smile, "The fifth child brought back five thousand boxes, you left five hundred boxes in this palace, and the others also rewarded a batch, three hundred concubines, two hundred concubines, and each grade decreases in turn, and everyone has a share." This is something made up by his Yamen of the Seventh Division of the Internal Affairs Office, and if it is used well, it will be ...... for them to enter again."
