Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

After leaving Zhengjue Temple, the north wind howled, Yuanmingyuan was originally in the suburbs, and there were no people on the road at this time.Yingluo thought to herself in the sedan chair, while Pearl sat silently.Yingluo thought: Telling the emperor the enmity between herself and Hong Zhou has set up a hidden thorn between the emperor and Hong Zhou. The emperor should not be too biased towards Hong Zhou, but he still seems to care about Fu Heng and himself very much. It's better to meet him less, do all the things I want to do today, and let Xiao Quanzi pass the news later.As he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a strong wind blowing outside. Someone had already lifted the car curtain. The person came in black clothes and covered his face, his head was also heavily wrapped with black cloth, and he held a shining sword in his hand.

Pearl screamed, and Yingluo was also taken aback. Before she could react, a bearer outside came to her, and the masked man fought with him outside.The sedan chair stopped suddenly, fell heavily, and the footsteps were chaotic, the eight porters outside all shook hands with the visitor, mixed with Xiao Quanzi's screams and curses.Pearl was trembling with fright, Yingluo held her hand and said to her: Don't panic.Suddenly, Xiao Quanzi opened the car curtain and said hurriedly: "Master, they can't stop them, let's go!"While speaking, Yingluo helped the master and servant get off the sedan chair twice, Yingluo's heart sank, and she immediately covered her lower abdomen with her hands.

But the three of them couldn't get away, they only took a few steps, crossed a few bushes, when a strong wind rushed, Pearl screamed and was stabbed, blood dripped on her back, she fell forward, Yingluo dodged quickly, But she was still lightly knocked into the grass on one side, Pearl took a few steps forward, reluctantly protected Yingluo and said: "Master, hurry up and leave me alone."While talking, there was a strong wind again, and the second knife came to the master and the servant, it was too late, Xiao Quanzi took a step from the angle, and stood in front of the pearl, only heard a pop, this time The knife slashed on his shoulder, and he fell to the ground in pain, but said in his mouth: "Master, Pearl, go away!"

Pearl let out an "ah" and wanted to see him.He said urgently: Go, go!It is important to protect the master.Yingluo gritted her teeth, grabbed Pearl, turned around and left, the master and the servant walked dozens of steps with support, but Yingluo felt her belly swell and could no longer walk.At this pause, the masked men in black over there had already knocked down all the porters and surrounded them all. The sword in their hand was shining with a cold blue light, and there was no way to retreat. One dead body and two lives, secretly screamed, young master.

But I heard Pearl say: Don't come here!As he spoke, he lifted his cloak and began to undress himself.Yingluo was taken aback, and cried out in pain: "Pearl!The masked man in the head was also taken aback, and then said with a smirk: "Okay, I'm a sensible person. I'll serve your master after the uncle makes you happy!"While speaking, he stretched out his hand towards Pearl, and the men in black behind him all laughed.Yingluo's eyes darkened and she passed out.

When she woke up, she found herself lying on the bed in her own room. She blinked, remembering what happened just now, and immediately wanted to sit up, holding her down with one hand, and only heard Fu Heng's voice: Yingluo , it's all right, I'm here.Fu Heng's smiling face appeared in front of her eyes, and she breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately looked at herself, only to see that she was still neatly wearing that lotus root and color shirt, and Fu Heng had already hugged her into his arms, saying: You're fine, and Pearl is fine.

Yingluo felt pain in her heart, she shed tears immediately, and said, "My child, my child... Fu Heng patted her on the back lightly, and said: "He is fine. Doctor Zhou came to see him just now. How do you feel now?It was only then that Yingluo remembered that the swelling in her lower abdomen had disappeared, and she felt no discomfort at all, so she felt relieved.Fu Heng said softly: Yingluo, there is nothing wrong, I am here.

Then Fu Heng told her that the emperor told them to disperse at noon today, and he went home after busying himself in Qinzheng Qinxian for a while. Ben was waiting for her to come back from seeing the emperor at home, but it was getting dark and Yingluo hadn't come back yet. , worried, so he brought his entourage and a few guards to Zhengjue Temple to meet her on horseback, so he just arrived at the critical moment and rescued them back.Yingluo took a deep breath and said, "Master, you scared me to death. I think my child and I will never see you again."He asked again: "How is Xiao Quanzi?"

Fu Hengdao: Doctor Zhou is treating the wounds of both of them, don't worry, their wounds are not fatal, they will be fine after a while.Yingluo said again: "Those bearers?"Fu Heng shook his head dejectedly, hugged her tightly, and did not speak.Eight lives!Yingluo felt a pain in her heart, and she shed tears again.

Yingluo regained her composure, only to find that Fu Heng was trembling slightly while holding her, and his tone of voice was normal, so she didn't notice it until now, so she hugged him tightly and said, "Master, I'm fine. I'm back, don't be afraid.The couple stayed for a while, and the little girl Tweet came in to wash Yingluo's face and change her clothes.Fu Heng asked her if she wanted to eat, she shook her head.So Fu Heng asked someone to bring in the dinner, and ate by himself while watching over her.

Yingluo sat on the bed, leaning against the head of the bed, looking at him all the time, her heart was still pounding, she was extremely afraid.I just heard Fu Heng say: Don't go out for the time being, after dinner, I will go to see the emperor.Yingluo looked at him in amazement, Fu Heng smiled and said: He also knew about your assassination, just now Hai Lancha came from the Old Summer Palace to deliver an order, asking me to see him.Yingluo said: How did he know?you told himFu Heng brought something from the table next to it, and when Yingluo looked at it, it was the jade butterfly that she pinned on the button today.

Fu Hengdao: The place where you were assassinated was not far from the gate of the Old Summer Palace. I hurriedly brought you back, and brought you and Pearl back in a sedan chair. Xiao Quanzi was brought back right away, and I had no time to ask someone to clean up the place.The night patrol of Yuanmingyuan saw so many bearers dead and blood on the ground, and found this jade pendant in the grass beside it. Seeing it was very valuable, they took it to Jiuzhou Qingyan.Yingluo nodded. This jade pendant must have been dropped in the grass by the pearl earlier, so it is still intact.He brought the Jade Butterfly, sighed, and said, "Then it's useless for me to see him today."

Fu Hengdao: The emperor must be blaming himself for such a big incident, because he thought that he was the only one who knew your whereabouts. You had an accident because you went to see him, but you disappeared, and he knew that you had a child, and your life was at stake. , So he had to tell me... I taught Hai Lancha to go back and reply, saying that I had rescued you back, and reassured him.I'll see him again in a while and tell him everything.Yingluo, don't worry, I know what to say.Yingluo nodded, suddenly her heart felt sour and hot, and she couldn't stop vomiting, but she hadn't eaten all day, she just vomited, Fu Heng was greatly surprised, and rushed to the bedside.

When Yingluo was young, the sour water that Yingluo vomited had spread all over Fu Heng's body, and Fu Heng kept patting her, waiting for her pain to pass.Then people were called in, so there was another rush, the two of them changed clothes, changed the mattress and quilt, tidied up and put them away, and they were busy for a long time.Yingluo looked at Fu Heng apologetically, this was the first time since she was pregnant that she felt nauseous.

Fu Heng was buttoning the top button of her clothes. Knowing that she had been greatly shocked and frightened today, he said with a smile: This means that the child is fine, so we can rest assured.Dr. Zhou probably hasn't left yet, so I asked him to come over and have a look.Yingluo nodded with a pale face. The overwhelming vomiting made her no longer strong. Fu Heng had almost finished eating, so he gently put her down on the bed. Don't let the old lady know what happened tonight. When she came back, Yingluo was asleep, so she ordered Cui'er to watch over her, and took two entourages, hurried out of the house and mounted her horse, heading towards the Old Summer Palace.

When he was led by the guards into Le'an and the emperor's study on the west side of Jiuzhou Qingyan, the emperor immediately greeted him, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, she is fine, she has already fallen asleep, and the slaves will come after the guards in the mansion are arranged." of.The emperor let out a long breath and sat back in the chair behind the desk.Fu Heng gave him a formal greeting, and the emperor asked slowly: Do you know that she came to see me today?

Fu Hengdao: I didn't know at first, but I found out after my servant returned home.Because it was getting late and it was her first time to go out, the servant was afraid of accidents, so he interrogated the family members, and a servant remembered that Pearl seemed to have mentioned some temple in the Old Summer Palace, so the servant immediately came here to have a look.The emperor nodded, heaved a sigh of relief, and said: Fortunately.She saw me because of Yongqi's affairs, she was worried, and she didn't tell you because she was afraid that you would be overwhelmed.Fu Hengdao: Yes, the servant understands.So, the two talked about the assassination that night.

Fu Hengdao: Your Majesty, the eight bearers in the servant's mansion are not ordinary bearers, they are all good guards in the servant's mansion. Yingluo has never gone out before, this is the first time she has gone out and it is to see you, Xiao Quanzi thinks The matter was serious, so the eight masters were used as bearers.The emperor nodded. This is exactly what he wanted Li Yu to tell Xiao Quanzi. This secret meeting must ensure the safety of Yingluo, because her identity cannot be revealed. Even if he is not as good as the Ouchi guards, he is still a first-class master in the capital. He should be foolproof, but the entire army of eight people was wiped out, so the assassin is not easy.Fu Heng said again: They pretended to be robbery in order to deceive people.Then he said what Pearl had told him.

The emperor looked at Fu Heng with a glint of Yin Zhi in his eyes.Fu Heng hurriedly said: "It's okay, they were just frightened. I think that even if the slaves didn't arrive in time, they wouldn't really be in trouble. Those people didn't seem to want to take their lives, they were just bluffing."Xin Dao: Although life is safe, but Yingluo's current situation really can't bear the slightest mistake.I was afraid again for a while.I just heard the emperor slap the desk heavily, and said fiercely: His heart can be punished!

Seeing that he was furious, Fu Heng remained silent.After a while, the emperor said: Who do you think did it?Fu Heng shook his head, and said: The assassins immediately withdrew when they saw the servant, and the servant did not fight them.But Yingluo was followed the first time she went out, and she must have been following the house early in the morning.Duke Zhongyong's Mansion is on Mashenmiao Street, and few people know that the slave is now living in Chunshu Hutong.

The emperor stood up, paced heavily in the room, after a long time, stopped, and said slowly: "It seems that someone wants to reveal her identity, and she came here for me. This person must be an insider. Who is that?" ?Fu Heng lowered his head and did not speak.The emperor said: You go back first, let me think about it again.You should keep quiet and investigate secretly to see if there are any clues.I just ordered Hai Lancha to go to the nearby Xiangbaiqi to transfer people, and secretly guard the area around Chunshu Hutong. Now he should be at your house, and you can discuss and arrange with him after you go back.Fu Hengdao: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the servant obeys the order."

After leaving the study door and walking a few steps, I saw Li Yu leading a woman in a platinum robe slowly approaching. It was Concubine Rong who hadn't seen him for more than half a year and who was now beside the emperor.When Concubine Rong saw him, she stood down and said happily: "Master Fu Heng, we meet again!"Fu Heng immediately saluted and said: Concubine Rong.Then he looked up at her and smiled at her.

Concubine Rong said: I heard that your wife passed away, I feel sad for you, please mourn.Fu Heng nodded and said: Thank you!Concubine Rong said again: I am no longer called Fatima, the emperor gave me a new name, Shen Bi.Fu Heng smiled and said: This is a good name.The emperor is still waiting for you inside. Fu Heng still has something important to do, so I will take my leave first.Saying this, he nodded to Li Yu and went straight out of the garden.

Concubine Rong entered the study room, saw the emperor groaning at the table, stepped forward, stood behind him, and held his shoulders, the emperor said: "Chen Bi, Li Yu said that you came twice today and want to see me, what do you want?" something?Concubine Rong said: Your Majesty, Shen Bi hasn't seen you since the Chinese New Year, and he hasn't seen you since he moved to Yuanmingyuan. Shen Bi has something to tell you, but he was in a hurry when he saw Mr. Fu Heng outside just now. You look worried, what happened?Then Shen Bi will come back another day.The emperor said: "It's okay, let's talk."

Shen Bi said: Your Majesty, the first one, Shen Bi wants to take off this robe and wear the clothes in the palace, which is more convenient for daily life. If the emperor likes it, Shen Bi will put it back on for you to see.The emperor said absent-mindedly: "Okay, it's up to you, but you have to learn how to walk the bottom of the flowerpot and wrestle carefully."Concubine Rong looked at him and said: "Second thing, I heard that the fifth elder brother's mother-in-law has left, Caiyun next to the concubine used to follow his mother-in-law, so I want to ask the emperor to give the fifth elder brother The courtiers and concubines raised them.The emperor immediately stopped pondering, looked at Concubine Rong, and Concubine Rong also looked at him.

The author has something to say:

[Historical origin] Beijing Eight Banners.Beijing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty, was the headquarters of the Eight Banners.The Eight Banners army in Beijing is called "Forbidden Brigade Eight Banners", also known as "Strong Brigade Eight Banners" or "Beijing Banners".The Qing court implemented the measure of living in separate cities for banner people in Beijing. According to the plan of the military headquarters, the Eight Banners were divided into left and right wings and stationed in the inner city of Beijing and places outside the imperial city.There are four banners on the left wing, the Xianghuang Banner is in the northeast of the city and is stationed in Andingmen, followed by the Zhengbai Banner in the south, which is stationed in Dongzhimen, and the Xiangbai Banner is stationed in Chaoyangmen (Note: Chunshu Hutong was a street in Beijing at that time. Outside the city, it is very close to the Dong'an Gate of the Imperial City, and it is convenient to enter the city. It is governed by the Bordered White Banner. Inside Chongwenmen; the four banners on the right wing, Zhenghuang Banner in the northwest of the city, stationed in Deshengmen, followed by Zhenghong Banner in the south, stationed in Xizhimen, Xianghong Banner in Fuchengmen, Xianglan Banner in Xuanwumen.Since then, although the nature of Beijing City as a military base has gradually weakened, the garrison areas of the banners have not changed in any way.Administratively, the officers and soldiers of each banner were under the direct jurisdiction of the Dutong Yamen of the banner. If there was a war, they would go out and return to the capital after the battle. This was the foundation of the military power of the Qing Dynasty.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were six to 7000 officials and more than 12 Eight Banners soldiers.
