Chapter 165: See Emperor Qianlong
Here, although he has a lot of power, he is still inferior to his hometown.
The sky was full of stars and the moonlight was shining, and he suddenly wanted to go back and see how the earth in the parallel world was now.
Back then, life on the earth is still standing in sight, and many years later, I still haven't forgotten that my young childhood is always the best, without any calculations, and there is no need to speculate on the hearts of others.
He Shen recalled the time when he was a child, remembered his childhood, a carefree, healthy and happy life, and showed a gentle smile on his face that had long been cold.
A few days later, He Shen and his entourage walked from Shaanxi Province to Hebei Province.
From the geographical point of view, Hebei Province is like a huge and majestic lion located on the mainland, with teeth and claws.
Looking from afar, on the plaque on the door, there are three gold lacquer characters written on the dragon flying and phoenix dancing, Juxianzhuang.
Hebei is not only the best geographical location in the north, known as the province of mountains and rivers, but also known as the first province in the world because of its long history and culture.
The topography of Hebei Province is high in the south and low in the north, and the landforms are diverse, with the south being mainly mountainous and the north being vast plains.
Hebei is the hub of east-west transportation, especially the northern area of Hebei and the Pan-Yellow River Basin.
The fertile land is endowed with the people here, and the optimistic and cheerful character has spread countless stories of talented and beautiful people.
White walls and green tiles, built against the mountain, simple atmosphere, classic style, but also have a simple and real charm.
In Heshen's previous life, Lin Fan had never been to Hebei, so he couldn't help but play around here.
The clouds and mountains and fog forests, the beauty of the Yellow River, the danger of the mountains, watching the beauty of the mountains and rivers, He Shen walked with his heart, did whatever he wanted, and unintentionally began to calm down.
A few days later, the tall city walls of the capital were already faintly in sight!
The area around the official road has gradually become prosperous and lively, and around Heshen's carriage, I don't know when, there are already people coming and going.
The capital can be said to be the largest, strongest and most majestic city in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even in the same period...
During the Qing Dynasty, there were as many as 3,500 miles of land in the capital...
The capital was built directly in the central region of North China.
“………………”
The terrain around the capital is dominated by plains and low-lying mountains, and a huge city stands in the middle, looking from afar, like a giant beast squatting on the ground...
It is like a heavenly palace high above the clouds, exuding a suffocating heavy pressure.
The territory of the capital runs through the five major rivers.
The Chaobai River and the North Canal in the east, and the Hejuma River in the west.
The capital is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one is facing the river, the east, south and north directions are based on the high mountains, and the west is adjacent to the Yongding River, which stretches for thousands of miles, and has the terrain advantage of easy to defend and difficult to attack...
and there were walls on all sides; The city wall is dozens of meters high and dozens of meters wide, and is completely built of incomparably solid bricks, which is solid and unshakable.
The outside of the wall is also painted vermilion, and the top of the wall is covered with yellow glazed tiles.
The gate in the south of the imperial city is called Daqing Gate.
The capital is different from other cities, with two cities, the outer city and the inner city.
The circumference of the inner city is about 24 miles, there are a total of nine city gates, the old capital people are commonly known as "four nine cities", that is, the four city walls of the inner city east, west, north and south, and its nine city gates.
Looking at the tall capital, He Shen lowered the curtain, let out a breath in the carriage, and muttered softly: "The capital, after all, it has arrived." ”
Along the way, in the face of the environment full of political enemies in the capital, He Shen was very cautious.
However, when the capital really appeared in front of him, He Shen's mood instantly calmed down, and even faintly, with some expectations.
Because, the more difficult the challenge, the more exciting it is for Heshen.
He Shen, who returned to his own mansion, had just stayed in his mansion for one night, and a steward eunuch in the palace came to recruit He Shen into the palace to meet him.
Obviously, Emperor Qianlong was very anxious.
Now, because Emperor Qianlong celebrated the birthday of the Queen Mother, he wanted to use tens of thousands of catties of gold to erect a blonde hair tower to show filial piety...
Emperor Qianlong and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty began to get angry...
These days, Emperor Qianlong has been very upset.
During this period of time, Emperor Qianlong was afraid that he would not, so he stayed in the palace of the Forbidden City every day, waiting for the news of He Shen's return to Beijing.
In the past few years since entering the officialdom, He Shen has always responded to Qianlong's needs, and his financial management skills are superb...
Under the inert situation of opposition from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, He Shen was now the only hope for the Qianlong Emperor to break the deadlock.
As he said, He Shen had just returned home, but after only staying overnight, Emperor Qianlong had already received the news, and he couldn't wait to see He Shen.
understood the eagerness in Emperor Qianlong's heart, and Heshen's side, naturally he didn't dare to delay.
He sat in a carriage and rushed to the interior of the Forbidden Imperial City as fast as he could, following the affairs of the eunuch in the palace.
If there is anyone who is most important to He Shen in the matter of overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty, then there is no doubt that it is the Qianlong Emperor.
It can be said that for a long time, He Shen was inseparable from the support and help of Emperor Qianlong.
However, on the way to meet Emperor Qianlong, He Shen was full of things to think about, and how to build a golden pagoda for Empress Xiao Shengxian without using the treasury money!
The Empress Dowager of Filial Piety is both Niu Hulu. Zhen Huan, born in the prosperous era of Kangqian, was at the peak of the Qing Dynasty, and his son Hongli, that is, the Qianlong Emperor, ascended the throne, respected as the empress dowager, and was named the empress dowager of Chongqing.
According to historical records, Qianlong was his biological mother's filial piety. Empress Dowager Zhen Huan celebrated her 60th, 70th, and 80th birthdays very grandly.
And this time the birthday celebration is the second time, the seventieth birthday...
The first time was the sixteenth year of Qianlong, sixty years old; The first is to make poems, calligraphy and paintings, and then Ruyi, Buddha statues, crown clothes, hairpins, gold and jade, rhinos, agate, crystal, glass, enamel, Yi Ding, costing millions of silver taels...
Emperor Qianlong claimed to be a Ming monarch and holy lord, he thought very highly of himself, and he was very happy, comparing himself to the holy ancestor Kangxi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty...
Since Emperor Qianlong became the emperor, in the past 20 years, there has been no great political achievement.
For all this, how can Emperor Qianlong be happy?
Even if he was not anxious, Emperor Qianlong was afraid that he was quite depressed in his heart.
What's more, the world's most praise for Emperor Qianlong is "Mingjun".
Mingjun's title is not valuable, a normal emperor, before he loses power and dies, he will have...
But after the emperor died, there were very few people who could leave the word Mingjun in history.
Therefore, for the sake of his posthumous reputation, Emperor Qianlong urgently needed to get his political achievements.
“…………”
"Minister and Shen, knock on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"
Emperor Qianlong summoned He Shen in the Qianqing Palace.
After entering the Qianqing Palace, when bowing, He Shen secretly used his spare light to look at Emperor Qianlong.
Although Emperor Qianlong is now in his fifties, he is extremely well maintained and looks to be in his early thirties.
