Dressed as Concubine Xian [Comprehensive Yanxi Palace]

Mulan Qiuxi was first created by Kangxi, and it is called hunting entertainment. In fact, it has great political and military significance.

On the one hand, Mulan Hunting can review the riding and archery skills of Eight Banners officers and soldiers, let them understand the hard work of their ancestors in starting a business, maintain the traditional bravery, simplicity and hard work, resist the vices of arrogance, extravagance and decadence, and never forget danger and be unremitting.

On the other hand, the Manchu emperors, who were afraid of smallpox, could also use Mulan to visit princes and nobles from various tribes in Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Tibet to strengthen their ability to control the country.

Emperors of the Qing Dynasty after Kangxi also attached great importance to autumn.

After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, due to various reasons, the Mulan Autumn Festival was never held, but he repeatedly emphasized that the "Autumn Festival" ceremony should be held at a "appropriate" time.

Qianlong paid more attention to Mulan Autumn Festival. From the sixth year of Qianlong to the 56th year of Qianlong, 50 autumn festivals were held in [-] years, which is nearly once a year on average.

However, when Mulan Qiuxi was passed down to the Qianlong Dynasty, it was meaningless.

Not to mention that corruption in the officialdom has penetrated deep into the bone marrow and medicine stones are ineffective, and the nobles of the Eight Banners all follow Qianlong as an example and spend their minds on studying eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

Although the horsemanship and archery skills of ordinary officers have not fallen, the era of winning the world at once is over. No matter how well the horsemanship and archery skills are practiced, they will not be able to withstand the steel boats and cannons that are about to sail from Europe to Asia.

Therefore, when Qianlong once again took his concubines to the Mulan paddock bordering on the Mongolian grassland, She Shuxian, as the queen, felt that the hills and grasslands along the way were lush and green, and she was worthy of "the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep". Outside of description, there are no more thoughts.

……

That night, Qianlong held a banquet in the palace. In addition to concubines and princes, princes of various Mongolian tribes, leaders of the Hui tribe who had recently surrendered, and chieftains of many tribes in Tibetan areas were present.

After the customary song and dance performance, Qianlong raised his glass, expressing his nostalgia for the ancestor emperor, his yearning for Huang Kao, and finally his intoxication with the false prosperity of the Qing Dynasty under his rule.

Naturally, everyone present at the palace banquet would not refute the emperor's face, and all echoed and congratulated the emperor, which greatly satisfied Qianlong's vanity.

When the palace banquet was about to end, Kasili and Huo Qingtong, who participated in the Mulan Autumn Festival for the first time, presented a song and dance for Qianlong together.

Shuangshu was originally a national beauty, not to mention that today is a festive moment of cheers from all the people.

When Kasili danced with Huo Qingtong's exquisite performance, the butterflies and fireflies in Mulan Paddock were all attracted by the peerless beauty from Tianshan, and came to the two of them one after another, causing everyone's eyes to be fixed, even those who hated Kasili. The concubines couldn't help scolding in their hearts, "I feel sorry for you, let alone the old slave"!

Qianlong was not intoxicated with alcohol, and everyone was drunk. If he was not afraid of being abrupt, he would even step down from the throne and dance with Kasili.

Before the Huibu singing and dancing were over, Qianlong announced loudly: "The Huibu will be exempted from taxes for three years!"

Hearing this, Kasli, who had volunteered to dance to Qianlong at Huo Qingtong's suggestion just to let her lover's people get into Mulan's paddock, also showed a rare smile.

Seeing her smiling face, Qianlong was so shocked that he covered his heart, and said repeatedly: "Smile Wan Guchun! The beauty of the country is nothing more than that!"

……

……

After the banquet, Qianlong discussed state affairs with the Mongolian prince.

She Shuxian knew that he would definitely not look for her at night, so she sent someone to call Yong Cong and Yong Qi over.

Yong Qi and Yong Cong knew why the Queen Mother called them over, and after saluting, they said calmly: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, the sons have brought all the five hundred new troops that Hai Lancha trained for us."

"How many guns? Do you have other equipment besides guns?" She Shuxian asked.

Yong Qi said: "The five hundred new troops brought two hundred blunderbuss guns and five cannons, all of which were purchased from Westerners."

"Westerners are willing to sell you five cannons in a row."

She Shuxian suddenly had a deeper understanding of capitalist businessmen.

You know, the configuration of the Eight Banners Firearms Battalion is nothing more than five cannons for each banner.

With five cannons, two hundred Western blunderbuss guns, and an experienced commander, five hundred new troops can easily defeat at least ten times as many enemies and pin down fifty times as many enemies as themselves!

If the rifle copied by Honghuahui was more powerful, Huo Qingtong and the others might be able to take advantage of the opportunity of the five hundred new troops to restrain Qianlong's accompanying army and kill Qianlong with one shot.

Of course, regardless of whether Qianlong was dead or alive this time, the Empress She Shuxian was innocent.

Yong Cong and Yong Qi didn't know what their Queen Mother was planning, but they knew that the artillery of the Westerners was far better than the mother-child artillery of the Huoqi Battalion, and the configuration of the five artillery pieces was astonishingly powerful.

Recalling the earth-shattering test of the cannon, Yong Cong couldn't hide his excitement, and said: "Mother Huang, with the support of Westerners' artillery, Huang Ama will definitely not oppose our new army plan this time!"

"What if he insists on opposing it?" She Shuxian said, "Although your Huang Ama is over half a hundred years old, he is still strong and strong, and his dominance over the government is also—"

"Yongqi understands Queen's mother's worry."

Yong Qi lowered his head and sighed: "After seeing the power of Westerners' guns and cannons, Ruohuang Ama still does not accept our new army plan, thinking that Westerners' things are ingenious tricks, and even doubts that we have The heart of a minister. Yong Qi is willing to bear all the responsibility for all the crimes, so that Yong Cong will not be implicated."

"Fifth brother! How can you say such a thing!"

Yong Cong was very anxious when he heard the words, grabbed Yong Qi's shoulder, and said loudly: "We came up with the new army plan together, I don't allow you to take my responsibility!"

But Yongqi said: "Yong Cong, you are the crown prince favored by Huang Ama. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you. If there is a slight difference, the society will be in turmoil! This time, the new army plan will let Wu Ge replace you Give it to Huang Ama! If Huang Ama is really as angry as Huang Erniang worried, Fifth Brother can at least keep you!"

Yong Cong heard the words, but said: "Fifth brother, I came up with the idea, and I also arranged things and people. If Huang Ama gets angry because of this matter, I should naturally bear the responsibility! Empress Dowager, even if Huang Ama loses her temper, she won't—"

"No, Yong Cong, you must not stand up!"

She Shuxian took a step forward and said to the two of them: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Crown Prince Li was also the most beloved son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he was his favorite heir, but the ending of Prince Li..."

Yong Cong fell into deep thought.

In the second year of Zhenghe, Prince Li Liu Ju was framed by Jiang Chong, Han Shuo and others, and raised troops to resist and kill Jiang Chong and others. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty mistook the lie and thought that the prince was rebelling, so he sent troops to suppress him. Liu Ju was defeated and fled, and finally committed suicide. .

"Even the emperor's most beloved son, if he accidentally makes a mistake, even if a villain slanders the emperor, he will be killed." She Shuxian reminded, "Yong Cong, you must hand over the matter of offering a new army." Let Yongqi do it."

"why?"

Yong Cong looked at She Shuxian puzzled.

She Shuxian said: "Yong Qi is one of the sons that your Emma likes. Even if he offended the Emperor because of the offering of new troops, the Emperor may think that he has disobedience, but it is more likely that he has won the prize." The slander and bewitchment of the Westerners, if you flog him face to face, this matter will be over, and the worst result will be to confine the clan mansion. After you ascend the throne, you can find any excuse to release him."

"but……"

She Shuxian coldly reminded, "Besides, Yong Qi was reprimanded by the emperor because of the new army, Yong Cong can intercede for him, and I can also intercede for him. But if Yong Cong you are reprimanded by the emperor because of the new army, No one can plead for you! Especially Bengong, you can't even mention the word pleading."

"Why is that?"

"Because if you are the one who presents the new army, your Huang Ama may think that you have been bewitched by the Westerners, but it is even more likely that you think that you can't wait any longer and want to ascend to the position of Great Treasure immediately!"

Hearing this, Yong Cong was stunned for a moment, and said repeatedly: "But Queen Mother..."

Yong Qi also said: "Yong Cong, Huang Erniang is right. If I offend Huang Ama because of the new army, at most I will only enclose the forbidden clan's mansion. After you ascend the throne, you can release me. If you are angry with the new army Being reprimanded by Huang Ama will not only hurt the emperor, but your ending may even be worse than that of Prince Heshuolimi!"

"This……"

After hearing She Shuxian and Yong Qi's analysis, Yong Cong hesitated.

He finally realizes his youth and innocence.

When he and Yong Qi, Fu Heng and others made plans for the new army, they only noticed that the new army could strengthen the country. Huang Ama would be moved by his sons' promising future. The sons deal with the trivial matters of their father's soldiers, but they didn't realize that their father Qianlong was the king of a country. Every decision he made was made after weighing many parties. His perspective on things was completely different from that of his sons!

"Yong Cong, do you now know what kind of mistake I almost made?"

She Shuxian reiterated again.

With lingering fears in Yong Cong's heart, he said to She Shuxian: "Xie Huang'er Niang is a big blow, so that Yong Cong will not waste everyone's efforts in vain!"

But Yong Qi said: "Yong Cong, if I offend Huang Ama, my mother-in-law still has—"

"Yongqi, don't worry, if Huang Ama really doesn't want to accept the new army, I will find a way to make him have to accept the new army!"

Yong Cong looked at Yong Qi resolutely, and patted his shoulder hard.

Seeing Yong Cong and Yong Qi's deep brotherhood, She Shuxian was both moved and emotional.

She knew from the very beginning that Qianlong would never accept the plan of the two young men's new army. With the help of the firepower advantage of the new army, the generals were dispatched to complete Mulan's forced palace and make Qianlong become the Supreme Emperor in advance!

Now, without waiting for She Shuxian to open her mouth, Yongqi took the initiative to ask for full responsibility, and She Shuxian couldn't help but have a higher evaluation of Yongqi's political sensitivity.

At the same time, she also knew that once Yongqi was ordered by Qianlong to confine the clan's residence, Yongcong would not need her hints, and would take the initiative to contact all parties and plan to force the palace!

The author has something to say:

Yong Qi’s decision, apart from his honest nature and deep brotherly love with Yong Cong, also has a part to consider for himself and his mother~

Qianlong has never waited to see Western weapons. Who knows if he will suddenly go crazy after seeing the new army. If Yong Cong takes the responsibility, Yong Cong may not be able to succeed in the future, but Yong Qi, who offended Fu Heng's direct descendant, may not be Can become the emperor~ Therefore, Yongqi made this decision to protect the overall situation and her own future~

In short, Qianlong will be paralyzed this time, O(∩_∩)O haha~

Thank you Lei from Black Orange, dear~
