Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Desheng immediately took the order and went out.After leaving the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, seeing Li Yu was still talking to the empress who was sitting on top, he hurried past them both without saying a word, but the empress saw him and asked: What happened?Desheng looked at Li Yu, Li Yu nodded, so he said with a smile: Empress, please forgive the servant for being rude, Concubine Rong fell down and sprained her ankle, the emperor ordered the servant to call for the imperial physician immediately.Said and left.

With tears in her eyes, the empress told Li Yu that I knew about it.Then he ordered people to turn around and take Zhen'er away.Li Yu let out a long breath, and said to himself: Empress, you can't blame the servant for this.Then he turned back and entered the hall.It turned out that after the queen woke up, she wanted to see the emperor again, and took Zhen'er to the outside of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but Li Yu stopped her, saying that the emperor was very sad, and seeing the empress was even more sad, and advised her to come back tomorrow.Nala family must come in, but Li Yu was still persuading him, when Desheng came out, seeing that Li Yu couldn't stop the queen, he motioned for Desheng to speak.After Desheng said it, the queen understood everything.

Nala sat silently and wept.After walking for a while, Zhen'er finally couldn't help it, and said: "Madam, for such a big matter, the emperor doesn't care about you, but still spoils that one, it's really deceiving!"Nala smiled wryly, and said: Queen, hehe, our mother and child are nothing in his heart.Zhen'er knew that she had said something wrong, and regretted making the Queen's mood worse, so she dared not speak again.

Deshengxuan came to the imperial physician and gave Concubine Rong some wound medicine. The emperor asked Desheng and Caiyun to take her to the east ear room to rest.Only then did Li Yu tell the story of the queen's arrival.The emperor tossed and tossed all night, very tired, said: Let's talk about it tomorrow.Li Yudao: Yes.Serve the emperor to bed.After a while, the emperor said again: "You ask someone to take a piece of jade pendant to the queen, just say that I know she has been here, let her mourn, and go to see him tomorrow morning."After the emperor fell asleep, Li Yu randomly took a piece of jade pendant from the box, called the little eunuch, and asked him to take the jade pendant to Chengqian Palace and pass on the emperor's words.

When the little eunuch arrived at Chengqian Palace, he saw that the gate of Chengqian Palace was closed, and he barked for a long time before entering.The queen took the jade pendant and listened to the emperor's instructions, and finally asked him about the emperor's situation.The weather was very cold, he stood outside for a long time, feeling unhappy, said: Concubine Rong has rested in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor has also rested, empress, you should also rest earlier.After the little eunuch left, the queen thought about it, she sat on the bed and shed tears all night, and she didn't fall asleep until dawn.

Early the next morning, the emperor came to Chengqian Palace, but Nala had just fallen asleep, so the emperor said not to disturb her, and returned to the Hall of Yangxin.Concubine Rong also woke up at this time, the emperor sat in front of her bed and asked: Shen Bi, why are you so kind to me?Concubine Rong smiled softly and said: You are Shen Bi's husband.The emperor said: But I treat you... Concubine Rong said: Your majesty, stop talking, Shen Bi knows that you treat me no differently from others, you just like being with me, and you treat me Well, it's because we're going back to the Ministry.The emperor was silent.

Concubine Rong said: Your Majesty, it doesn't matter, Shen Bi's life was saved by you and Master Fu Heng, and Shen Bi is living such a good life now, there is nothing dissatisfied.The emperor said: Okay?You are far away from your homeland, here you have no relatives, you are alone.Concubine Rong smiled gently and said: Your Majesty, as long as I have you, how can I be lonely.And my brother and sister-in-law live in Dong'anfu Hutong. Thanks to your grace, I can often meet them.The emperor said: Zhen... Concubine Rong said: Your majesty, I know that you have so many women, they are looking forward to you every day, waiting for you, you can't just be with Chen Bi, but it doesn't matter, you need Shen Bi, Shen Bi will follow you and accompany you.I'm going back to Baoyue Tower now, please accompany the empress well.The emperor looked at her and smiled, with tears in his eyes again.

Nala was exhausted yesterday and slept until the afternoon before getting up.Seeing that she was awake, Zhen'er immediately stepped forward and said, "What do you think?"The emperor came here early in the morning, and later sent people to come several times to see if you are awake.Nala didn't say a word, after a while, she sat up and asked: Brother Thirteen... Zhen'er said: Yuan Chunwang is working on it, don't worry.Nala nodded and sat on the bed for a while before getting up to wash.Seeing that she never mentioned the emperor, Zhen'er knew that she was still angry.Then he persuaded: "Madam, you are overthinking. The emperor rushed back yesterday and came to see you. You fainted from crying, so he left. Concubine Rong came back with the emperor. I think it was because of a sprained foot that made her unable to move." Those who were left in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.The emperor also came this morning.

Nala still didn't speak.Zhen'er said again: Elder Brother Thirteen is the emperor's son, how can he not be sad.Moreover, you and the emperor were angry, didn't you push the emperor into someone else's arms, the one who is cheap is not someone else.Just as he was talking, a court lady came to pass the news, saying that concubine Shu and concubine Jia came to see the queen.Nala said: "Just say that I accept their wishes. I will see you when I am better."Then several groups of concubines came to see them, but Nala still didn't see anyone.

Knowing that Concubine Rong didn't come and the emperor didn't come, Zhen'er felt unhappy and couldn't persuade her anymore.Suddenly Yuan Chunwang came in in a hurry, with a worried look on his face, he hurriedly said: "What's the matter?"Yuan Chunwang walked up to the empress and said: Master, you don't know yet, the empress dowager has just ordered Concubine Rong and Concubine Qing to raise the fifth elder brother together, as well as Fu Kang'an, the son of Fu Heng who is about to enter the palace to accompany him. Fukang lives in the palace of Concubine Qing.Zhen'er was taken aback and said, "What? !The empress had just lost the thirteenth elder brother, so the emperor and the queen mother gave the fifth elder brother to Concubine Rong.

Yuan Chunwang said: Concubine Rong, she is really amazing. She probably thinks that the emperor's freshness is about to pass, so she needs to find protection for herself first. One is an adult elder brother, and the other is Fu Heng's son. Lock it firmly!Nala's eyes suddenly showed a fierce look, but he said nothing.Yuan Chunwang discussed with Zhen'er again.Only then did Nala say: This must be Wei Yingluo's idea.Yuan Chunwang said: You mean she wants Concubine Rong to take care of Fu Kang'an?The servant had thought of this too, but the fifth elder brother's matter should be the emperor's intention.Nala said: "That's what Concubine Rong meant."I thought to myself: This woman told me years ago that she couldn't have children, but I let her guard down and let her have a fifth elder brother.

Yuan Chunwang and Zhen'er looked at each other, not knowing why.Nala said: I have a son, and the fourth elder brother is also raised by me, so naturally the fifth elder brother can't give it to me.Concubine Qing is cowardly, the emperor is afraid that the fifth elder brother will be bullied, but concubine Qing and concubine Shu have always been on good terms, concubine Shu's son is gone, and the emperor doesn't give concubine Shu, isn't it strange?Yuan Chunwang nodded, and said: What the master said is true, but what does Concubine Rong want Fifth Elder Brother to do?In about two years, the fifth elder brother will get married, and the emperor will give him his own house outside the palace, and he is now living in the elder brother's house.Nala snorted, and said: That's good, you don't need to do anything, the child can be used by yourself immediately, I have been raising the fourth elder brother since I was a child, but isn't it stupid?

Zhen'er said: "It was the emperor who gave Si elder brother to you back then, and you refused to let him go.Nalashi glanced at her, Zhen'er was startled, and dared not speak again.Yuan Chunwang said: Madam, but this Concubine Rong is so seductive, and an adult elder brother, she should avoid suspicion. Why didn't the emperor think of this level?Hearing this, Nala's heart moved, Concubine Rong and Fifth Elder Brother appeared in front of her eyes, thinking that these two people stood together, they really looked like siblings, so she sneered, and said: "Don't you?" It's nonsense, Yongjing's business...is it all done?As he spoke, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Yuan Chunwang then told the emperor's will, and replied to the arrangements for the funeral coffin of the thirteenth elder brother.At this moment, someone outside said: The emperor is here.As soon as the words fell, the emperor had already walked in, Nala knelt down to pay her respects, the emperor hurriedly helped her up, and helped her to sit on the stool, looked at her, and said: You are really better, I am relieved.Yuan Chunwang retreated immediately, leaving only Zhen'er in the room.

Nala forced a smile and said: Your Majesty, I also mourn.The emperor said softly: I still remember that I gave Yongjing a mat at that time, and he slept on it, so it was in this room.The queen knew that he was talking about Yongjing's four months, so she felt sour in her heart, and tears filled her eyes.The emperor smiled and said: Shushen, you are still young, we will have children.Nala had a big accident, her heart was boiling with heat, she immediately left her seat and knelt down, saying: Your Majesty, it is so kind of you to Shushen.The emperor said: I will stay here with you tonight.Nala burst into tears and said: "The concubine obeys the order."Zhen'er was on the side, also wiping away her tears and smiling.

The emperor stopped court for three days, and walked to the military plane early in the morning on the fourth day.The military ministers asked the emperor to express their condolences, and then they all read the scriptures silently.

The emperor sat for a while, and said to Hong Zhou: You and I come.Hong Zhou didn't know why, so he could only follow.The emperor took him back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Hong Zhou said: "Brother Emperor, my brother is very sad about the matter of the thirteenth brother. I went to Shoukang Palace yesterday to talk with the Queen Mother for a while. You and the emperor's wife should take care of your health."The emperor said: You have a heart, and later you asked your Fujin to come in to see the queen, she was in a bad mood.Hong Zhou said: Yes, she should come to accompany the emperor's wife, but she dare not enter the palace without purpose.The emperor said: Well, the Queen's mother means that the family should be closer. I will give her a special order later, so that she often comes to accompany the queen.Hong Zhou immediately said happily: "Xie Huangxiong."

The emperor also nodded with a smile, and continued: Recently, I received a secret report, saying that the Yellow Sect lama often gathers people secretly in Beijing to plan something.Hearing what the emperor meant, Hong Zhou said that they were plotting a rebellion secretly, he was taken aback, and said: "Is there such a thing?"The younger brother didn't hear about it.Brother Huang, do you know the location of the meeting place?The emperor said: It is said that it is in the boundary of the border with the white flag. I am still investigating the details.Hong Zhou said: Oh, what can I do for the emperor?The emperor said: You go and arrange some people who are holding the white flag to stay at the Xianliang Temple for a long time, and take action at any time.The upper three banners, namely the inlaid yellow flag, the true yellow flag, and the true white flag are led by the emperor himself, so the Zhengbai flag soldiers will be the emperor's pro-army, but now they are led by Hong Zhou.Hong Zhou said, yes, but why does Brother Huang want people to be stationed there?

The emperor pondered for a moment, and said: You know, Fu Heng has a house in Chunshu Alley, not far from Xianliang Temple. I want to go there sometime to lure the snake out of its hole.Hong Zhou nodded and said: I don't know that Fu Heng still has a house there. Doesn't he live in Mashen Temple Street?The emperor smiled and said: He has a lot of houses in the capital, just like you.Hong Zhou blushed, knowing that the emperor was talking about him, he said, "My brother's house was given to you by Huang Ama and Huangxiong."The emperor nodded and said: "Fu Heng doesn't know about this, so don't say anything. When the time comes, I will borrow that house for use. He doesn't need to know anything."Hongzhou was secretly happy, the emperor obviously trusted him more, and said: Yes, my younger brother will never disclose this matter to a third person.

The emperor said slowly again: The person who told you to stay in the Xianliang Temple, don't move around, so as not to startle the snake, and things will be difficult to handle.I see that you are very interested in running the White Lotus Sect, that's why I sent this one. Don't disappoint me.This matter can be long or short, you must be calm, and your impatient temper will be tempered.Hong Zhou said: Yes, my brother understands, thank you brother Huang for giving me this opportunity.

The emperor said: I have already asked Fu Heng, and he said that there are some housekeepers living in Chunshu Alley, so don't bother them, lest Fu Heng get suspicious.Hongzhou had countless thoughts in his mind, and said: "Your brother obeys the order."The emperor smiled and said: To fight a tiger, you need a brother.Hong Zhou was very excited, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: Hong Zhou will definitely do the work of a dog and a horse for the emperor's brother.

Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, it has been supporting Tibetan Buddhism. Since the entry into the customs, the Mongolian and Tibetan regimes have made contact with Emperor Taizong and Huang Taiji, and they have been highly praised by Emperor Taizong.Mongolia and Tibet belong to one family, and the Manchus rely on Mongolia to sit firmly in the Central Plains. Therefore, the Manchus are deeply influenced by Tibetan Buddhism.There are four yellow, red, white, and white religions in Tibetan Buddhism. Among them, the yellow religion rose the latest but occupied the dominant position as soon as it emerged. "Prospering the yellow religion, soft and Tibetan" was one of the national policies of the Qing Dynasty. Tibetan Buddhism is the Lama yellow religion, which was once The holy patriarch Kangxi became the state religion.The Mongolian and Tibetan affairs are generally handled by the emperor himself, so the emperor's assignment, in fact, is to let Hong Zhou intervene in the affairs of the Yellow Sect, which is one of the core tasks of the court.

Hong Zhou returned to the military plane with a happy face. Although the others didn't know what was going on, Wang Youdun, Nayantai, and Yalhashan all congratulated him. Only Liu Tongxun sat still, and Fu Heng only glanced at him from the other side.Hongzhou snorted inwardly, and said to himself: In the heart of Brother Huang, there are still other things about intimacy.He laughed secretly again, since the battle of Junggar, Fu Heng's status in the emperor's heart has declined greatly, and his chance has really come.For a while, he thought that his own Fujin could often enter the palace to see the queen, and his heart was extremely happy, as if he could see her often.

In the evening, the emperor called Fu Heng "evening noodles", that is, he entered the palace to meet him after dinner, and the monarch and his ministers met alone, which was a common practice for the two of them.Fu Heng expressed his condolences first, and was surprised to hear that the emperor said that he would shelve the matter of the Yellow Sect Lama.The emperor said: I don't want to startle the snake, don't worry, I will decide the matter of Zhengjue Temple sooner or later.Fu Hengdao: Your majesty, they are moving around with malicious intentions, and the slaves are worried about the safety of the emperor.It turned out that Nayantai found out that the lamas often met under the cover of secret | prostitution halls, which made people suspicious, and immediately reported it to Fu Heng, and Fu Heng reported it to the emperor.

The emperor said: "These people are just because I'm showing favor to go back to the Ministry now, and I feel aggrieved, so I use the incident of Zhengjue Temple to remind me that there is no need to make a fuss. I have seen a few masters of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism in Beijing. Today, Nayantai has been ordered to give them more rewards, and the matter will pass.Fu Heng's heart moved, and he said: Your Majesty, are you taking a long-term view?Do you think there is someone else behind them?The emperor smiled and said: I can't hide it from you.Don't worry about this matter anymore, I have asked Nayantai to handle it, and I have given the order to Wu Mitai who is far away in Tibet.Fu Heng thought that the emperor didn't want to intervene any more, and probably wanted to limit his own power. Thinking of this, he didn't care, so he respectfully said: Yes, the slave obeys the order.

When he was leaving, the emperor stopped him again and said: Fu Heng,...involved in this matter, I don't expect to make people think that you have selfishness in doing things.Fu Heng was clear in his heart, and understood that the emperor was just trying to cover it up. It was impossible for the assassination of Yingluo to be exposed, because the emperor would never allow this to be exposed. Selfishness, but I didn't care at all, since these people's goals are not Yingluo at all, I am relieved, I will wait and see about this matter.So he smiled at the emperor: Yes, the emperor is sympathetic to the slaves.The emperor also smiled, patted him, and said: In two days, you will welcome the newcomer!

The author has something to say:

[Historical Origins] There are some historical origins, which I directly wrote in the text, such as the emperor’s upper three banners, the status of Tibetan Buddhism in the Qing Dynasty, etc. These are for the purpose of laying out the plot of the novel or for the convenience of writing.The historical origin/archetype in the narration is to supplement the background.

In the 20th year of Qianlong, the ministers of military aircraft were Fu Heng, Laibao, Liu Tongxun, Wang Youdun, Nayantai, Liu Lun, and Jueluo Yaerhashan.Laibao is Erqing's grandfather in the original play.In history, Lai Bao and Xi Tara, who successively served as Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Minister of the Ministry of Officials, were the Minister of Military Aircraft in Qianlong. From the 13th year of Qianlong to the 29th year of Qianlong, they worked with Fu Heng in the Military Aircraft Department. He was 13 years old when he entered the Military Aircraft Department, but he was not set as the Minister of Military Aircraft in the original play.Hong Zhou has never been a minister of military aircraft in history, but he has been a minister of political affairs at the highest level.The Minister of State Affairs was established in the early days of the Qing Dynasty, and there were several ministers of the State Council, all of whom were Manchu ministers.All important military and state affairs that are not announced by cabinet officials are handed over to the meeting of ministers for political affairs. Later, because Emperor Yongzheng set up a military aircraft office, the power of political discussion was reduced, and only the name was retained. Therefore, the minister of political affairs in Hongzhou was a false title in history, but it was originally In the play, he is set to join the military plane.Based on the above, in the novel, I removed Bao and Liu Lun from the military plane and joined Hong Zhou.Historically, the emperor and Fu Heng had a very close relationship. Fu Heng was summoned during the day when he was at the military plane. After dinner, Qianlong often discussed important matters with him.So he actually stayed in the Forbidden City all day, and often overnight.

The minister in Tibet was the military and political chief and stationed minister in Tibet in the Qing Dynasty.The full name is the imperial envoy in Tibet or the imperial minister of Tibetan affairs, also known as the Tibetan affairs minister.There is also a deputy, called Deputy Minister.It was established in the fifth year of Yongzheng (1727).The ministers stationed in Tibet, together with the Dalai Lama, the Panchen Lama, Er|De|Ni, supervise the government affairs of Tibet, and preside over and supervise the Dalai Lama, Panchen Lama, Er|De, on behalf of the imperial court. The reincarnation, enthronement, and other matters of Hutuktu, Nepal and the major Tibetan Hutuktus.The status of the Minister in Tibet is equal to that of the Dalai Lama, the Panchen Lama, Er|De|Ni, and the letter written by the latter two to the emperor must be transferred by the Minister in Tibet.In the 20th year of Qianlong, the minister in Tibet was Wu Mitai from Zhenghuang Banner of Mongolia.

The thirteenth elder brother Yongjing.Historically, on December 20st in the 1755th year of Qianlong (21), Yongjing, the thirteenth son of the emperor, was born; on December 28th, Li Wenzhao, the supervisor, took two silk paintings into the Yikun Palace and posted them.On April 21th, the 1756st year of Qianlong (27), Gaozong ordered Fang Gang, the general manager, to lay a mat on the bed of the newly born elder brother of Yikun Palace (namely Yongjing).On July 22, the 1757nd year of Qianlong (24), Yongjing, the thirteenth son of the emperor, died young and was under two years old.She then lived in the Yikun Palace in the West Sixth Palace, but in the original play it was set that she lived in the Chengqian Palace, which was in the East Sixth Palace.In the novel, Yongjing's birth was brought forward for the sake of the plot.
