Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Xu Yun hurriedly said: Yes, ma'am, the old nun understands.Yingluo said: She is a guilty person, so the queen mother kept her secret, do you understand?Xu Yun said: Yes, the old nun naturally wouldn't mention it to others.The other people in the nunnery didn't even know what happened today, they all rushed to the back to do their homework according to Madam's order.For the first time, when the master came, he didn't say who his master was, only that he was an old acquaintance of my aunt's. Seeing how generous he was, the old nun didn't dare to accept it, but he just wanted the old nun to lead him to send a letter. It's not worth that much.You gave another 100 taels today, which really missed our small nunnery.

Yingluo nodded, stood up, Pearl immediately took the cloak and put it on for her, she walked out of the hall, Xuyun hurriedly followed.Following along the way, he said: Ma'am, the old nun will change her to a bigger house, Madam will come back later to see if she is satisfied.Yingluo said: "This is the teacher's own idea, not mine.Xu Yun hurriedly said: Yes, this is the old nun's decision.Yingluo said again: She said you treated her very well, and I have nothing to dissatisfy.I have a lot of things to do at home, and here is in the wilderness. I don't know when I will come next time, but don't worry, I will send incense money regularly.

Xu Yun was born as an aunt in the palace, so she knows that even if Fu Heng is a favorite of the emperor or an important minister of the military, Fu Heng is a scholar of the Palace of Preservation, a civil official of the first rank, and a minister in charge of the guards, that is, a military officer of the first rank, with an annual salary and money, etc. All together, there are at least 2 taels of silver, not to mention that the Fucha Mansion is a noble family, the natal family of Empress Xiaoxian, and the family background is extremely rich. Seeing that Yingluo is generous and promises to send incense frequently, I feel elated and grateful : Thank you madam!Old Niri puts incense on Mrs. Madam every day!Madam, but if there is an order or a place to use the small nunnery, she must send someone to tell the old nun.

She said that she had reached the side of the car, and she wanted to help Yingluo into the car, but Yingluo gave a slight wink, and Xiao Quanzi who was at the side hurriedly said: "Pearl, hurry up and serve the master!"Pearl was standing on the side, she immediately stretched out her hand, Yingluo supported her hand to get on the car, Xu Yun could only withdraw her hand in embarrassment.After Zhenzhu also sat down, Yingluo smiled at Xuyun, "Master, I've been bothering you for half a day, please go back!"Xu Yun made a gesture of courtesy, and said: Ma'am, let's go!Xiao Quanzi let go of his hand, lowered the curtain, and let the coachman drive away.

Yingluo took off the bamboo hat in the car and left the nunnery, Pearl pursed her lips and said with a smile: Master, are you trying to show respect to that old nun on purpose?Yingluo said: "The people in charge of this nunnery must have been in charge of affairs in the palace before. These people are all watching people order dishes. In the past few years, even if Concubine Yu was not bullied, she must have done nothing good. She endured it again." I'm used to it, she doesn't tell me, because she doesn't want me to worry about making me stand up for her.The carriage had not gone far, and about twenty people appeared behind the grass near the nunnery gate. These people were the guards of Chunshu Alley, and they followed the carriage of the master and servant back not too close or far away.

In the evening, after Fu Heng came back, the couple had dinner together, and Yingluo could eat enough for the evening, but she didn't eat much, most of them watched Fu Heng eat.Fu Heng knew that she went to see Concubine Yu today, and asked about the situation, Yingluo told him that she went to Mashen Temple Street today to greet the old lady and married Concubine Yu in Jinlan. After listening, Fu Heng nodded, Said: "Would you offer incense to Sister Aman?"

Yingluo said: "I've been there since I came back. It's been so many years. Until today, I feel that I have done something for Sister Aman. But what happened to Concubine Yu is not in compliance with the rules and it is not good to set a precedent. I'm afraid the Queen Mother...she Back then, I did it myself for the sake of the Queen's sister, but didn't tell me, because I was afraid that the emperor would think that she conspired with me to implicate me. If I talk about it now, the emperor will think that I made up reasons to exonerate her...

Fu Heng smiled slightly, and said: Concubine Yu Fangyu came out of the nunnery to meet you for the fifth elder brother. I am elder brother's master. Find a time to ask the emperor for an order, and he will agree.Yingluo nodded happily, and said: "The young master is still smart. In the future, I will take Concubine Yu to live in our mansion all the time. Then I will become a real sister. I have a good companion, and Yongqi can also meet her."

Fu Heng said again: You don't have to go to see Er Niang all the time, it's not convenient for you now, and you're tired from running around two places, Er Niang also told me not to teach you how to run.Yingluo said: "This is what a daughter-in-law should do. Er Niang is sympathetic to us, we can't pamper us."You were young at first, but Erniang and the Queen’s sister have always favored you. I passed the gate and lived with you outside. It is even more unreasonable to go, I will go to see An'er, he will enter the palace soon, I see that the nurse has arranged all the things for entering the palace, don't worry.

Fu Heng smiled and said: You are a thoughtful person.The second sister-in-law's family moved into Mashenmiao Street a long time ago, and they have been serving Erniang nearby. It is convenient to live in the East Mansion, but now that the children are grown up, she has moved into the West Mansion, living in the yard next to Erniang, and There are several concubines of the second elder brother, so Eniang has no shortage of people.The eldest brother, sister-in-law and the others live in the old house, which is also close to each other.The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law arranged our wedding, you are also satisfied, I don't think the two of them think so much.The second sister-in-law will also take care of An'er's affairs, so don't worry about it.

Yingluo knew that Fu Heng promised to live in Chunshu Hutong, but in fact, it was to prevent her from setting rules in front of Er Niang and her sister-in-law. , and because of his special status, he made fun of him and said: Mr. Fu Heng thinks that he gives the Fucha family the most face, so he became the parent!Fu Heng just smiled and scratched her nose.

Fu Heng's eldest brother, Guangcheng, used to be the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple and the minister of Dali Temple. He is now the deputy governor of Manchuria in Zhenghuang Banner.

Fu Heng's second elder brother, Fu Qing, became an official in the first year of Qianlong's reign. He successively served as the general soldier of Tianjin Town in Zhili, Lu Yanzheng, chief supervisor, and deputy capital commander in Tibet.In the 14th year of Qianlong's reign, Namzhal in Zhuermot, Tibet, was in chaos. The emperor sent Fu Qing and Rabdon as ministers in Tibet to quell the chaos.In the 15th year of Qianlong's reign, Fu Qing and Rabdon lured Zhuermot Namzal to the Tongsigang Minister's Office in Tibet. Fu Qing beheaded him with a knife. Shi led the crowd to attack Fu Qing Rabdon. Fu Qing was seriously injured and knew that he would not be spared, so he committed suicide and died in the line of duty.Rabdon also died downstairs.Fu Qing was posthumously granted the title of first-class uncle by the emperor, posthumously named Xianglie, and his descendants were hereditary as first-class sons.

The first-class Zhongyonggong Mansion is located on Mashenmiao Street, one street away from Sanyanjing Hutong. There are two mansions in the east and west, with a family temple in between.This house was originally built for Fu Heng by the Fucha family before he got married. It used to be only the West Mansion. Because Fu Heng and his two elder brothers were very different in age, after the two elder brothers got married one after another, Fu Heng's parents brought The young Fu Heng and the concubine Fu Qian lived here. Later, Fu Heng entered the palace to study with him, and later Erqing married in.After the great victory of Jinchuan defeated the Tibetan chieftain Sha Luoben, Fu Hengjin, the first-class loyal and brave man, ordered the emperor to expand the house on Mashenmiao Street. The government is vacant.After Junggar's great victory, the emperor ordered to build an ancestral hall for Fucha's family and posthumously posthumously Fu Heng's father Li Rongbao, so the whole Mashen Temple Street is magnificent and magnificent.

Fu Qing's family originally lived in the old house of Fucha's family in Sanyanjing Hutong on the east side of Jingdong. The former Empress Rongyin married into Prince Bao's mansion from this old house.In the 15th year of Qianlong, after Fu Qing died for the country, Fu Heng moved Fu Qing's wives and concubines and children into the East Mansion of Mashenmiao Street to take care of and serve their parents.Fu Qing's wife, Fu Heng's second sister-in-law, is the granddaughter of Yunzhi, the third son of Emperor Kangxi, and has a lot of background. Fu Qing's second son was born to her, and the fourth daughter was born to two concubines.After Li Rongbao and Erqing died, only the old lady and Fu Qian lived in Xifu.

Fu Qian got married last year, the old lady bought another mansion and asked him to move out.If Fu Hengyingluo and his wife return to Mashen Temple Street, they will live in Xifu with the old lady.Because of Fu Heng's powerful position, after Fu Qing and Li Rongbao passed away, the Fu Cha family was in fact the one who had the final say, so Yingluo's joke was the truth. If Fu Heng and Yingluo moved back to Mashen Temple Street, the old lady would not have said that What.Except for the old lady's elder brother Guangcheng and his wife, no one else in the Fucha Mansion knew about Yingluo's true origin.

Once the meal was finished, Fu Heng went to the palace for dinner.Pearl said back and forth: Master, the matter of going to the mosque has been arranged, Xiao Quanzi said, just waiting for your instructions.Yingluo nodded.

In the evening, Fu Heng came back quite early. After changing clothes, he saw Yingluo looking at him with a smile at the table. Knowing that she had something to say, he sat beside her and said, "You've lost weight again!"It's always better to worry less!Talking about going to hug her.Yingluo said, "Guard Fucha, I want to interrogate you."Fu Heng was very surprised. Yingluo never called him that. He smiled, sat down, and said, Miss Yingluo, what do you want to ask?Yingluo saw that he called her Miss Yingluo, that was when they met when they were teenagers, he called her that.So he laughed too, then put on a straight face, and said solemnly: Fucha guard, who in the palace likes you?

Fu Heng thought to himself, what kind of problem is this, he just smiled and said: All the little maids.Yingluo was funny and angry, coughed, and said: "What about the emperor's woman?"Fu Heng thought for a while, and said solemnly: My sister.Yingluo couldn't bear it anymore and burst out laughing.Seeing her laughing hard, Fu Heng was afraid that she would fall off the stool to the ground, so he stood up, hugged her in his arms, brought her to the bedside and sat together, Yingluo was still laughing in his arms. stop.

Fu Heng also smiled and said: Okay, okay, Yingluo, what do you want to say?Only then did Yingluo stop laughing, and said: Young Master, tell Yingluo, do you know that Concubine Chun likes you?Fu Heng was a little surprised, but nodded.Yingluo said: Then you rejected her?Fu Heng nodded again.Yingluo said: Okay, you never told me!Fu Hengdao: At that time, I was going to marry Erqing according to the order, so I didn't know.Yingluo nodded, and said: Sure enough, that's right.

Fu Heng looked at her inexplicably.So Yingluo told him what Concubine Yu said to herself today.After hearing this, Fu Heng was silent for a while, and said sadly: So it turns out that my sister is all because of me.Seeing him like this, Yingluo hurriedly said: "Master, you are blaming yourself again, and I don't believe it."Fu Heng sighed, took her into his arms, and said: Yingluo, you have suffered so much because of me.Yingluo smiled and said: So I want you to spend your whole life paying me back.Fu Heng nodded.

Seeing that he was still very unhappy, Yingluo asked, "Why did you reject her?"Fu Hengdao: In the Changchun Palace, she suddenly said that I have been hanging the tassels she gave me all the time. I obviously have feelings for her, but why do I like you?I said, I thought my sister had given me the tassel, so I pulled the tassel off and gave it back to her.Yingluo laughed and said, "Master, you are so ruthless!"Fu Hengdao: "She is the emperor's concubine. I have always regarded her as my sister's close friend, and she is not the only one of my sister's close friends. I didn't remember her at all before. I really thought that tassel was a concubine." My sister gave it to me. The first day my sister saw that my original tassel was old and said she would make a new one for me the next day. Then I saw a new tassel in the book... I was also shocked that day.

Yingluo said: Let's see if you still wear tassels in the future?Fu Heng finally smiled and said: Don't dare again!Yingluo also smiled, and took out something from her clothes. Fu Heng saw that it was also a tassel with a knot on it, and said with a smile: I wear court clothes every day, so I can't wear this.How do you know she gave me tassels?

Yingluo shook her head and said: I don't know, it's just a coincidence.This ear was made for you after you returned the sachet on New Year's Eve.It's just that I've been busy recently and I'm uncomfortable, so I didn't finish it until today.Fu Heng immediately took the tassel and said, "Then I'll take it inside, but I can't see it from the outside."Then look carefully at the tassel, it is a black tassel with very little red in it.The net on the top is two knots together, very delicate, this is the first time he has seen such a look.Yingluo said: This is what I thought, I call it the concentric knot.Black is you, red is me.Then read in a low voice: "Take the spring shirt and exchange it for the concentric knot."Fu Heng looked at his hands, he was very happy in his heart, and felt that it was God's will, he had forgotten the sentimentality just now, and said: Good!

Yingluo was still worried, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said, "Master, tell me, how many days have you not kissed me?"Fu Heng smiled, put her down on the bed, knelt on the footstool in front of the bed, put the tassels beside the pillow, and began to kiss her.Yingluo felt that his kiss was filled with fiery longing and demands, and she was very intoxicated, and responded enthusiastically. After the two kissed for a long time, Fu Heng pushed her away, got up and walked out of the room.Taking a quick glance, Yingluo saw that his face was flushed, his eyes sparkled, and his heart was filled with indescribable shyness and sweetness.He took off his coat, pulled over the quilt to cover it, and even covered his hot face.

After an unknown amount of time, I heard Fu Heng's voice outside the quilt saying: Ying Luo, you are too bad!Then the quilt was lifted by him.Feeling cold, Yingluo saw that his face was a little pale, and immediately stretched out her hand, touched it, and it was cold to the touch. Knowing that he had gone outside and stayed in the snow for a long time, Yingluo smiled and said: Who told you to hide it from me.

Fu Heng grabbed her two hands and put them beside her head, and suddenly bent down. Yingluo was so surprised that she even forgot to struggle.Unexpectedly, Fu Heng smiled, let go of her hand, and then lay down beside her with a smile.Only then did Yingluo let out a long sigh of relief, and said: I was frightened just now, I thought you really didn't care about your children.Fu Heng closed his eyes, still smiling, and said while laughing: See if you have a next time!Yingluo changed into a comfortable position, but left Fu Heng's side.

Fu Hengdao: In your heart, I am no better than a baby.Yingluo turned her back to him, and chuckled lightly: Isn't there a next time?Fu Heng turned over, lifted the quilt, approached her, and reached out to gently touch her waist and back.Yingluo felt his hands were very warm, she gradually became sleepy, and finally fell asleep.Fu Heng then leaned over, hugged her gently in his arms, and said in a low voice: Yingluo, you are so kind!

The author has something to say:

[Historical prototype] Concubine Yu's background is as written in the novel. She was originally Prince Bao's Gege, the birth mother of the fifth elder brother. The fifth elder brother died early, but she lived to be in her 70s before she died. After her death, she was posthumously named Concubine Yu .But it seems that she has been out of favor and lived a lonely life alone in the palace.

The official ranks of the Military Aircraft Department and Fu Heng. (The following is adapted from my Fu Ying's long comment)

The Military Aircraft Department was born out of engaging in military supplies for combat preparations, but after that it was not only engaged in military supplies, [the specific duties of the Military Aircraft Department] were: drafting edicts and handling memorials; Big prison, participate in the review of major cases; participate in the appointment, dismissal and assessment of important officials; accompany the emperor on tour, go out to Beijing to investigate incidents, etc., issue instructions to officials from various ministries in various places in the name of sending edicts, and zoom in on all special orders Members, such as bachelors, six ministries, nine ministers, governors, generals, admirals, apprentices, chief examiners and envoys stationed abroad, are all billed by the Military Aircraft Department, so the Military Aircraft Department is the absolute cabinet.The main members of the Military Aircraft Department are the Minister of Military Aircraft and Zhang Jing of Military Aircraft.The number of Ministers of Military Aircraft is not fixed, at least three members, no more than ten members, usually four to seven members, especially five to six members are the most common. Minister, commonly known as "big military aircraft".It's just a small circle of people.There is a chief minister of military affairs, or the foreman minister of military affairs, who is generally held by a Manchu prince or a bachelor.

Below the Minister of Military Aircraft is Zhang Jing of Military Aircraft. At the beginning of Qianlong, Dinghan lacked military aircraft. Zhongshu, Liubu, doctor of Lifan Academy, Yuanwailang, principal, and pen and post style.In the fourth year of Jiaqing, the Dingjun Ji Zhangjing was divided into two squads, Manchu and Han, each with eight members, a total of 32 members. Each squad had a foreman, Zhangjing, and a gang leader, Zhangjing, who were selected by the Minister of Military Affairs in Zhangjing.Military Aircraft Zhang Jing is in charge of general affairs such as sending and receiving documents, copying, transcribing, and file management of the Military Aircraft Office, and also includes sub-recording of memorials, drafting edicts, and accompanying the Minister of Military Aircraft on business trips, commonly known as "small military aircraft."Therefore, the Military Aircraft Department is actually equipped with a lot of personnel at different levels. Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs. The "small military plane" reports to the "big military plane".

The minister of military aircraft is not an official position, so what is Fu Heng's official position?Served as a first-class bodyguard, minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, right servant of the household department, governor of Shanxi, left servant of the household department, and minister of the household department President, in fact, this pile of various positions is to prepare for entering the "Great Military Plane". Please refer to the previous [Specific Responsibilities of the Military Plane Department]. The first important department of the imperial court), Minister of Military Aircraft, Bachelor of Baohe Palace, etc., and has been added to the Prince Taibao.So in the end, he had no specific official position at all.The head of the army (the emperor's endorsement), the scholar of Baohedian (the emperor's secretary), and the prince's Taibao (the prince's master), these are all the emperor's personal officials, the emperor's spokesperson, and are actually the top leaders of the imperial court's military power.Therefore, Fu Heng has no official position, and he will go out to fight if necessary. During the war, he will be given an official position, such as strategy, governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, etc., and will stay by the emperor's side to handle all the emperor's affairs, from public affairs to private affairs.

In the 20th year of Qianlong's reign, Fu Heng was already a bachelor of Baohedian, and he was a civil official.He is also one of the ministers leading the guards, and the military officer is a first-class military officer.According to the system of the Qing Dynasty, adding up, he has a salary of more than 2 taels of silver every year (more than 300 million yuan in current RMB). .In the original play, because he and Hong Zhou fought at the military plane, the emperor fined him for half a year, which is a lot of money, but to him and the Fucha family, it was actually insignificant.The system of the Qing Dynasty set up a "Guard Department", and the minister who led the guard was the permanent highest position of a military officer, and he was a first-class official.The three-banner leader of the bodyguard office has six ministers within the bodyguard, two each from the Zhenghuang Banner, the Xianghuang Banner, and the Zhengbai Banner.The ministers who lead the bodyguards are all directly selected by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, usually selected from the Manchurian Dutong, Diange University Scholars, six ministers, and generals.The duty is to be in charge of the imperial guards, command the imperial army, protect the safety of the emperor, etc.Lead the guards in charge of Dong Shuai's guards and the army, together with the ministers of the interior and the ministers of Sanzhi Yiwei.Divided into two wings Suwei.Qianqingmen, Neiyoumen, Shenwumen and Ningshoumen are the internal classes, and Taihe Gate is the outer class.

The Forbidden City is heavily guarded, with police scattered all over the place.The Eight Banners soldiers are divided into the Banners Banners and the Eight Banners Garrison. The Eight Banners Garrison are stationed all over the country, and the Eight Banners Banners are stationed in the capital.This has been mentioned before.The Eight Banners are divided into Langwei and Bingwei.Langwei, that is, the emperor's close guard, including the bodyguard office and the pro-military camp, etc., is mainly composed of elite personnel selected from the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners.Those who act as the ministers of the guards or the imperial ministers are selected by the emperor from among the ministers of honor and relatives.Among the bodyguards, the imperial bodyguards are the personal bodyguards of the emperor. They are in the charge of the imperial ministers. They are all talented and talented people selected from the upper three banners (Jianghuangqi, Zhenghuangqi, Zhengbaiqi). There are about 600 officers and soldiers in total.In addition, there are hundreds of Lanling guards and clan guards, as well as more than 1400 guards selected from the Manchu and Mongolian Three Banners.According to the original play, in the 20th year of Qianlong, Hai Lancha was the first-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court.
