Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

After going to bed at night, Concubine Rong saw the emperor lying on her side facing her, but she closed her eyes and said nothing, so she turned to lie flat and said, "You, you can't finish thinking about big things, why are you so petty?"Go back and take us to watch the deer. Toya always said that she hasn't seen Horqin's new famous dog yet!That white dog 'Frost Harrier' is so beautiful!Is it really a male dog?Go back and see if it is stronger than 'Ru Huangbao'.

The emperor opened his mouth and said: Shen Bi, others wish I could say that others are not good, but you, who speak for this and that all day long, don't you also say that I pamper the queen.Concubine Rong was a little surprised, she turned to look at him and said: So you are angry with Shen Bi.You and the Empress, Shen Bi knows who he is, so it's not easy to intervene, you have your own discretion.And Shen Bi is considered to have come out of Chengqian Palace, Shen Bi just wants you to be happy.

The emperor snorted: "Identity, if it weren't for...she wouldn't have an identity."He still had his eyes closed, but instead of being angry, he felt guilty and even blamed himself.Maybe it was really because of Wei Mei?There is also the queen, and his other women, such as Gu Qin, and the talented Ruigui, she was not without resentment just now... He knew that she was not a simple woman, she understood it, and didn't even care that he used her, But she was still a woman, a woman he loved and cared about and didn't want to be wronged.

Only Concubine Rong said: Shen Bi understands, you belong to Shen Bi alone.But Elder Brother Twelve is your son, you can't leave him alone.The emperor did not speak.Concubine Rong laughed, then turned her head around, looked at the top of the tent and said: "The concubine is the mother concubine of the fifth elder brother. It is inappropriate to say this, it seems to provoke you and other elder brothers, but Shen Bi is the same. For your sake, behind closed doors, you are not the emperor, and your concubine is not Concubine Rong, but the parents of Yongqi and An'er.How can parents not love their children.

The emperor hummed, finally opened his eyes, looked at her beautiful side face, and said: Don't care about my other women.Concubine Rong smiled sweetly, then turned to look at him, and said: Shen Bi doesn't care.Then his eyes turned hazy, and he said softly: You are the only one in Shen Bi's heart, let alone a woman, the same goes for his son.

The emperor suddenly felt relieved, he was thinking too much, Shen Bi, it wasn't another woman, her so-called "jealousy" was to coax him, finally she felt relieved, stretched out her hand, pulled her over, and pressed her down... Concubine Rong panted slightly, put her arms around his shoulders, and said: "The two famous dogs presented to you by Mr. Fu Heng after the year, I think they are too thin, but you said they are better than the original ones."

The emperor said "Well", they were talking about this topic these days, and said: You like Ru Huangbao and Shuanghuayao, so I put them under your name. They are more beautiful, but their speed and endurance are not as good. Cang Shuiqiu and Ban Jinbiao belonged to Fu Hengxian. Fu Heng's family also has a kennel, and he has a lot of experience in handling dogs.Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that Shen Bi always said that he was gentle and sweeping the floor on the bed, so he couldn't help laughing...

Concubine Rong thanked excitedly, saying that she had a pet cat and a pet dog.He looked at her innocent and lovely expression, and kissed her cheek again and again.Concubine Rong said again: "An'er and Yongqi both love riding and shooting, and they made an appointment to have a competition after we return from the east tour."The emperor was surprised and said: How can An'er compare to Yongqi, she is too young.Concubine Rong laughed and said: "It's just that the two brothers found a chance to get together. After coming out, the concubine and Mrs. Nalan talked about it and decided to stay at the racetrack in Yujing Garden. If you have time, go and have a look together. If you go , Master Fu Heng can also read it.The emperor said: Okay, you go and arrange with Li Yu.As he spoke, he hugged her tightly, and Concubine Rong could no longer speak...

On the second day, the two slept almost the whole day. Concubine Rong said that her body was sore, and the emperor was not allowed to touch her again, so the emperor coaxed her to apply medicine to take a bath, and then hugged and rubbed her. |Le, the emperor only said: I am still called prostitution|Le?It's rare for me to be alone like you.If Li Yu dares to say a word to Huang Erniang, I will definitely decapitate him this time!Concubine Rong gently touched his head, then kissed his bare forehead, and said: Your Majesty, you are so cute.The emperor just hugged her affectionately and depended on her, and didn't speak.

Concubine Rong patted his bare head with her fingers, and said: Your Majesty, Shen Bi thinks you are like Shen Bi's child, a very cute child.The emperor hummed, deeply inhaling her fragrance.Concubine Rong kissed him lovingly. When the two were in love, she murmured: Your majesty, my concubine does not envy Wei Mei. I have you as a treasure... The emperor is so happy that he doesn't know how to love her and let her be her .After getting out of the bed tent, he drew a picture "Imitation of Zhao Mengfu's Picture of Two Mandarin Yuans in Shazhu" with light ink, and wrote the words "Lovesickness and the sea is not deep" and gave it to her.Concubine Rong smiled and said: This painting is good, I like it, but my concubine is by your side, where I need lovesickness, you are the one who coaxes me!

In the evening, Wei Mei was called again, and the three of them had dinner together. Li Yu and Li's family waited attentively on the sidelines. The emperor felt relieved from the fatigue of the journey, and his mood was brightened to the extreme.

When staying at the Nanshicao Palace, Fu Heng and his wife were also talking about hunting dogs, and they said that they were inseparable from their son Fu Longan.Sanmeng is a mighty Tibetan mastiff with black body, four claws and snow-white tip of long tail. It is different from the European purebred hounds commonly used by the royal family, which has a small head, long snout, contracted waist and abdomen, and thin limbs.Fu Long'an is about to turn four years old. He is strong and mischievous, and the couple are very troubled.Everyone on Mashen Temple Street said that children are naughty only when they are smart, and that they will be fine when they grow up, and Pearl accommodates him again.Sanmeng is the little master who defends the most at home. When Yingluo and Fu Heng get angry and scold their son, they must take Sanmeng away, otherwise he will bark endlessly.

Yingluo also said that Jiang Jiang had to be vaccinated years ago, thinking of the fourteenth brother, she couldn't help being afraid.Fu Heng comforted her and said: Jiang Jiang is in good health and has never had any illnesses. She must be the same as Long'er at that time. It's okay to have the pox before Qigege, so don't think about it.Then he talked about Fu Changan, who was only nine months old, and said that he looked different from Fu Longan when he was a child, and his temperament was also different.

Concubine Rong's Ziguang Pavilion event refers to the emperor's ranking of the heroes of the Junggar War at the Ziguang Pavilion.Everything is ready in the Ministry of Rites, and the grand ceremony will be held after the emperor makes his eastward tour to Luan.Because Wei Mei was going to give birth in early October, the emperor arranged the Ziguang Pavilion event later.This time after Wei Mei went to Yuanmingyuan, she stayed in Tiandi Family Spring, which was opposite to Concubine Rong’s residence, and lived very close to the emperor, obviously because she was already a noble concubine. After returning to the Old Summer Palace, all the people in the middle were envious again.

Concubine Ying was surprised to see that Toya didn't seem to care about it.The two of them still live together in Shaojingxuan, so she went to the backyard to look for Toya.Toya just got up and was still washing.Zi Wen quietly told Concubine Ying that the emperor had been resting here for the next two nights, and Qi Muge felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart.Later, when Toya had breakfast, she also sat down to eat it together. Seeing that Toya was refreshed and smiling like a flower, she felt even more sad.

Toya said to her: Sister, you came so early today!Why didn't you bring raindrops?It's been a long time since I visited the east, but I haven't seen it. It's strange.Qi Muge said: At first Director Sun said that he could take it, but I thought it was too troublesome, so I left it at home. Since my sister misses it, she will ask Zi Wen to come and carry it with me later.Toya said again: Sister, are you feeling unwell?I don't look good, and I don't eat much.Qi Muge sighed softly.Toya said: "Sister, you are because of Imperial Concubine Ling."Qi Muge said: There is really no comparison between people.

Tuoya knew the disappointment in Qimuge's heart. She is a typical example of the flowery and beautiful couple in the harem, and she said: "Sister, during this east tour, the emperor told me that this Shaojingxuan used to be the residence of Concubine Gao." Yes, Concubine Gao was once the emperor's favorite concubine, and also an old person in the hidden residence, so it can be seen that he values ​​his sister.Qi Muge shook his head and said: It's just because of the Balin family.

Seeing her despondent, Toya put down the bowls and chopsticks, held her hand and said, "Sister, you know me. The Guo family is Baoyi. Ama has worked hard for decades, and finally became a court official, but on behalf of me People can only bear it after suffering, I can't do it if I don't trap the emperor well, just like this, I'm just a noble person, the emperor's lucky nobles are better than me.The elder sister is different, although she is young, she is already the fourth concubine, so she doesn't have to worry about it.I think you are doing well with Concubine Qing now.Concubine Qing is good, she is so sad about the Fourteenth Elder Brother, more sad than Concubine Ling, this time on the east tour, she was going to accompany Concubine Ling in the garden, Concubine Rong and the emperor dragged her out by force.

Qi Muge sighed again, and said: I am a concubine, just making up numbers and decorations, my family is satisfied, and I look good, but I live my life by myself, you know best.In fact, Sister Qingfei still hasn't calmed down yet, she still blames herself and can't sleep at night.The Tai Hospital has been prescribing medicine for sleeping, and the emperor often sends Desheng to inquire.This is really worrying about not having children, and worrying about having children, so much to worry about!Tuoya said: "In the past two days, I have listened to the emperor's wishes. When the imperial concubine Ling gives birth this time, regardless of the gender, she will be raised by the concubine Qing, and the imperial concubine Ling also agreed.She'll be fine then, and you'll have some fun together.

Qi Muge was very moved, Toya was still the same Toya before, so he couldn't help being ashamed of his carelessness before, and it wasn't after Toya served the emperor that he was not favored.Just thinking about it, Toya started eating again, and said: Unfortunately, I don't have any children, otherwise I will raise them with my sister.Qi Muge then asked with concern: Didn't you ask the imperial doctor to take a look?Tuoya said: "The last time Physician Sun gave me a pulse check, I asked him, and he said that my menstruation is very accurate, there shouldn't be a problem, maybe it won't happen."I'm in no hurry.Seeing her indifferent expression, Qi Muge couldn't help admiring her.

Toya knew what she was thinking, smiled at her again, and said: Concubine Rong has no children, and my sister has no children, so what am I, sister, I understand it in my heart.It doesn't matter what other people say, we must not give birth to ourselves.

Qimuge hurriedly said: "Why is she the same? She has the fifth elder brother and Fukang'an, but I am the same as you. The future of our sisters is hard to say."Toya smiled and said: Sister, don't think about it, the emperor has his own considerations.In fact, he doesn't come to my place much, but when the excitement comes.Not to mention these, after the Ziguang Pavilion ceremony, we will follow the emperor to watch the deer, I am so excited!After dinner, let's go horse racing!Qimuge also touched her interest, and said with a smile: Good!

Zi Wen has been listening from the sidelines, feeling that she had made a mistake this morning, and she should not have mentioned the emperor, she couldn't help feeling anxious, seeing her reconciled, she was relieved.

During the ugly night of the sixth day of October, Concubine Ling gave birth to a fifteen-year-old elder brother in Tiandi's family, who weighed eight catties again. The emperor thought of a name early in the morning and called him Yongyan.As usual, Concubine Rong was waiting on the sidelines, this time there was someone from Ruigui, and the emperor was still awake, still grading papers under the lamp.When Concubine Rong was holding the child and happily went to Le'anhe to report the news, the emperor immediately put down the ink pen and said: "Okay, okay!"After taking the child to see it, he felt like he had found a treasure, and his brows were brimming with joy. It really was Elder Brother!He also asked Desheng to bring a message to Wei Mei, and rewarded Li Shi, a nobleman in Rui, and so on.Li Shi also shed tears happily.The Tai Hospital heaved a sigh of relief.Li Yu explained that as soon as it was dawn, he sent someone to the Changchun Garden to report to the Queen Mother.

The emperor is exactly 50 years old this year, which is a great joy.In Chengqian Palace, Zhen'er thought to herself: This is too capable of giving birth!After entering the palace for five years, she became pregnant with five!This is the son again.But naturally it doesn't show on the face.And Nala seemed to take it lightly, and announced the good news at the court meeting early in the morning, saying that the next major event in the harem is the full moon banquet of the fifteenth elder brother, and everyone should congratulate the emperor and imperial concubine Ling at that time, and the sixth palace is full of envy Sigh.

Wu Deya quietly said to Hai'an at home: Let me tell you, if you are so fertile, you will surely have a bunch of grandchildren!Look, one was lost before, and another (mo4) was missing, it doesn't matter at all, the queen mother and her old man really like this imperial concubine Ling to death!The one from Chengqian Palace can only sigh in despair!Hai'an knew what she was thinking, so he smiled and said: "I see that this concubine Ling is similar to you."Wu Deya smiled and said: Don't say this in front of the prince, he will be annoyed again, maybe he will do something absurd again.It's a pity, that one has never been successful in front of his man, the emperor even accepted everyone around Concubine Ling, don't you understand? !Hai'an pursed his lips and said: Yes.

Ziguang Pavilion is located on the west bank of the Zhonghai Sea in Xiyuan, where the emperor often received vassal states and foreign envoys, and it was also used as a place for the emperor to test military candidates and inspect the ministers of guards.From the 29th year of Kangxi, around October [-]th every year, the emperor took the examinations of Wu Jinshi's horse archery, bow, knife and stone in front of Ziguang Pavilion.And the emperor appointed the top three candidates, the second top five candidates, and the top ten candidates for the top three.Those who are selected will be selected as outstanding guards.Emperor Kangxi once left a poem about shooting in Ziguang Pavilion, in which there is a sentence "the team leads the flowers to enter, and the willows separate to remind".

In order to promote the martial arts of the Western Expedition and commend the successful soldiers, the emperor ordered the Ziguang Pavilion to be rebuilt at the beginning of the year, and decided to hold an inauguration ceremony after returning from the eastern tour to pay tribute to the heroes.

"Le Mural Tusi Great Achievement".The emperor painted the battles of Pingzhun and Pinghui and hung them in the pavilion as "Pingding Zhunbu Huibu Victory Picture", including [-] copperplate paintings and [-] pieces of text, and the emperor wrote a preface and printed them on woodblocks.Two hundred copperplates were printed and sent back after the initial engraving copperplate sent to France.After that, the Ministry of Internal Affairs printed more copies, which were rewarded by the emperor to princes and ministers, or distributed in the gardens of various palaces.

He even displayed the portraits of 100 meritorious ministers in this battle in the pavilion, and personally wrote praises for 50 of them who made outstanding achievements.The remaining 50 people were written by Confucian ministers, and the Confucian ministers who proposed to write the speeches included Fu Heng, Yin Jishan, Liu Tongxun, Ali Gun, Shu Hede, Yu Minzhong, etc.The emperor said in the preface to the praises of the fifty heroic figures: "This is a definite success. I wrote the portraits of all the heroes in the Ziguang Pavilion. I personally control the pills and lead, and each of them is praised. It's not just praise, it's not good, but it's all The minister recorded the facts."

He also wrote in an imperial poem, "The pavilion is better than the site of the dynasty, and the icon is Zhao Daixun. The grid is ashamed of the emperor Yu Yu, counting more than the Han Shiyun." He thinks that the Ziguang Pavilion picture is better than the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai in the Han Dynasty, and Ling in the Tang Dynasty. The grand event of 24 people in Yange.Among the 50 people who praised the imperial title, Fu Heng, a bachelor and first-class loyal and brave man, was the first to be recommended.Zhaohui and the Minister of the Ministry of War who died in the Western Regions were listed as the second and third in the praise of heroes.

The emperor also attached great importance to painting the portraits of heroes, and personally appointed painters. The painters who painted the portraits, clothing patterns, and coloring were very specific.There are two kinds of statues of heroes, vertical scrolls and hand scrolls, and the ink and color on silk, and the left and right sides of the vertical scrolls are inscribed with praises from Manchu and Chinese.

At noon on the day after Brother Fifteen was born, Ziguang Pavilion held a grand merit ceremony.The grand occasion was attended by more than a hundred princes, nobles, civil and military ministers, Mongolian leaders, and soldiers from the Western Expedition. Concubine Rong's elder brother, Duke Fu, Turdu, and Belhojis were also present.Not to mention the elation and joy in the emperor's heart, at the end of the celebration, Fu Heng was publicly announced as the chief minister of military aircraft, that is, the head of the military aircraft and the chief assistant of the cabinet.He also gave a banquet to the guests attending the meeting with "the best wine in the world" and "Yingtai wine".

Liu Tongxun, Yu Minzhong and Ali Gun Yongqiduoluo were all very happy.Both the government and the public felt that they deserved it. It was only at the end of last year that the emperor punished Fu Heng for handling the Wushi chaos without authorization. This was a big turning point.All of a sudden, Duke Zhongyong was in the limelight again in Beijing, from the princes to the common people's homes, many young women envied Mrs. Nalan.Cai Yanlin, Wu Min, Wang Jia, Shao Fan and others also toasted at home to celebrate when they received the news.

The author has something to say:

[Famous Dogs of Emperor Qianlong] The famous dogs and their origins mentioned in this section refer to the picture of Ten Steed Dogs made by Castiglione Castiglione.

【Emperor and female sex】In history, the more energetic the emperor, the better the female sex. The famous Emperor Kangxi is a typical example.As long as they don't delay government affairs because of women's sex, lust is not a crime for them, and ministers will not make noise, but in the eyes of the people and ordinary people, they can naturally seize the criticism.Compared with other lecherous monarchs whose bodies were hollowed out casually, Emperor Kangxi's body seems not to be affected by lust and indulgence at all, thanks to his good health habits.Both his parents died early, so he probably doesn't have the longevity gene.His health regimen includes eating ordinary dishes, not relying on heavy supplements, not eating ginseng and drinking alcohol, soaking in hot springs and riding and shooting.Kangxi liked to study medical theory very much, and often asked his ministers to soak in hot springs and treat diseases with folk remedies.

Emperor Kangxi had 66 famous concubines, and these 66 concubines gave birth to 35 sons and 20 daughters for Emperor Kangxi.In addition to these famous concubines, Emperor Kangxi also had a large number of unnamed big promises, little promises and more than 100 female students. These women were all Kangxi's female relatives.On October 13th, the 1735th year of Yongzheng ([-]), Emperor Qianlong, who had just succeeded to the throne, issued an edict, criticizing Su Peisheng, the chief eunuch who was heavily used by his father, and others for wanton indulgence in the palace regardless of their superiority and inferiority. Ministers behave impolitely.It is especially pointed out that even if it is a humble promise, it is still the emperor's family, and even if you are the chief executive, you have to bow down.There are nearly a thousand female performers in the Kangxi Palace, and many of them were lucky enough to be visited by Kangxi, so there is no way to count them, and they were all kicked out of the palace later.Therefore, Yongzheng was scolded for being lustful, which was related to Kangxi.

The history of the Qing Dynasty is very interesting. The history of the decline of the dynasty is basically proportional to the decline of the emperor's fertility.When the emperor's fertility became stronger, it was also the most prosperous period of the Qing Dynasty.Emperor Kangxi had 55 children, and Emperor Qianlong had 27 children. These two emperors were the most fertile emperors in the history of the Qing Dynasty.In fact, Shunzhi was very fertile. He died at the age of 23, but he gave birth to eight sons and six daughters in the previous ten years. The youngest son was born one month before his death.The Westerners who were in power at that time were amazed by this incident.Although only nineteen concubines of Fulin are recorded in the Aixinjueluo genealogy compiled by the Clan Mansion, burial records show that there were at least 32 concubines of Fulin.Eleven concubines gave birth to him.

What happened between Jihou and Qianlong is unknown in this world, but after Jihou was imprisoned, many people accused Qianlong of being lustful.In the 43rd year of Qianlong, the emperor visited the east, Jin Congshan wrote a letter, the first was the establishment of the reserve, and the second was the establishment of the empress.The emperor himself gave an explanation and refutation: "When Empress Xiaoxian died, because the Nala clan was originally a concubine Fujin bestowed by the Emperor Kao of Zhenqing Palace, and her rank was equal, so she heard about the Holy Mother Empress Dowager and was registered as the imperial concubine. , Taking photos of the Six Palaces. After another three years, I was registered as the empress. Afterwards, I was still tolerant as before. Even cutting off my own hair, the most taboo of the national customs, and he actually ignored him. However, I still Qu Yu is included and cannot be repealed. Later, due to illness, he passed away, and only ordered to reduce his ceremonies, but did not issue a decree to reduce his title. I deal with this matter with the utmost benevolence and righteousness. And its establishment also proceeds sequentially, not Choose color with love to promote. And after that, it is unreasonable, let alone because of color decline and love..."

[Ziguang Pavilion Celebration] Among the "Ten Complete Martial Arts", Emperor Qianlong paid the most attention to quelling the Junggar and Huibu rebellions.In order to publicize his martial arts in the Western Expedition and commend the successful soldiers, Qianlong ordered the Ziguang Pavilion to be rebuilt in the 1760th year ([-]).And in the following year, Xinzheng held an inauguration ceremony, and a celebration banquet was held here, attended by more than a hundred princes and nobles, ministers of civil and military affairs, Mongolian leaders, and soldiers of the Western Expedition.Fu Heng ranked first, Zhao Hui and Ban Di ranked second and third.At that time, Yao Wenhan's picture volume of giving banquets in Ziguang Pavilion depicted the grand scenes of the banquets at that time.

[Foreman Minister of Military Aircraft] The responsibilities of the foreman military aircraft minister include being responsible for drafting most of the edicts, and carrying the seal key, that is, the key for taking the seal of the military aircraft department.At that time, in order to reduce Fu Heng's burden, Qianlong announced in the 14th year of Qianlong that Fu Heng would not have to take full responsibility for the decree written by the ministry under his supervision. Yin said that the highest person in charge of the inner court has participated.
