Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Both Fu Heng and Yong Qi were taken aback. Knowing that Fu Kang'an was about to talk back because of his young age, the emperor waved to them both with a smile, and then said lovingly to Fu Kang'an: See, what should Liu Bang do?Fu Kang'an thought for a while, and replied: Since the crown prince has been established, he should not be abolished because of favoring the concubine, and move the foundation of the world. What Zhang Liang said is correct. It should not stand at the beginning.The emperor clapped his hands and said: Well said, let's continue.Fu Heng and Yong Qi glanced at each other.Fu Kang'an continued: "Your Majesty, you dote on the Queen's Mother, and the fifth elder brother is also the son of the Queen's Mother, so you should be careful."

As soon as this remark came out, the three of them were even more surprised. Fu Heng reprimanded: "An'er, don't talk nonsense!"There is no distinction between dignity and inferiority!Don't know the rules!Why don't you kneel down and plead guilty to the emperor and fifth elder brother?Yong Qi didn't know what to say, the emperor laughed again, waved his hand to Fu Heng and said: "The child has really grown up, you should call Shen Bi to listen."Then he said to Yongqi: "It's none of your business, but today's words should not be spread outside the box."Li Yu who was guarding the door hurriedly turned around and said: Yes, the servant understands.

The emperor said to Fukang'an again: An'er, reading history books is for the sake of learning.Have you ever thought that your ama is a relative?He said and looked at Fu Heng.Fukang'an nodded, and said: An'er knows, and An'er is still the son of the emperor's mother, but An'er will serve the emperor and the country like those famous generals and Ama in the future, and will never learn from the tyranny of foreign relatives and cause trouble for the court.The emperor nodded and praised: good!well said!

Both Fu Heng and Yong Qi breathed a sigh of relief.The emperor asked the two children to leave first, then ordered Li Yu to close the door, and taught Fu Heng to sit.Fu Hengdao: "An'er is innocent. The emperor thinks that he is young and does not blame him. The slave is nothing. Yongqi is afraid... The emperor shook his head and said: "You go and tell Yongqi that it is my intention to punish Yongxuan. irrelevant.Fu Hengdao: "The servant obeys the order."The emperor looked at him again and said, "Fu Heng, what do you think about Yongxuan?"

Fu Heng hurriedly bowed his head and said: From my perspective, the fourth elder brother was just thinking about it for a while. He is still young, and the emperor has punished him.The emperor shook his folding fan, his eyes sparkled, and he snorted: You dare not say, maybe Yongxuan has no intention of killing, but he is narrow-minded and despicable, and he has become a sharp knife in the hands of others. No matter what, even An'er understands this truth.Let him stay in the clan mansion and think about his past.

After Fu Heng went back, he told Yingluo what happened today. Yingluo laughed and said: "An'er is a clever ghost, and the young master even retreated to advance, pointing directly at the middle palace."Fu Heng just smiled.

After Li Yu went back, he also quietly told Concubine Rong about it, saying that the emperor was very happy.Concubine Rong was also very surprised, and later asked Fu Kang'an privately why he would say these things, Fu Kang'an looked at her, puzzled and said: "Emperor Mother, your son is right, there is nothing to worry about. An'er wants to speak for Ama in the big case of foreign relatives' salt affairs. Our Fucha family is not the Gao family.

Concubine Rong was happy in her heart, and knew that he didn't intend to allude to Empress Nala, he was still young, but the shock caused by these words in the emperor's heart can be imagined.The emperor had already told himself in private that he could consider marrying An'er. She said she was in a hurry, but she was actually reluctant to part with him, so she scratched his nose with a smile.

After hearing what Yong Qi said, Yi Boer smiled and said nothing.Yongqi asked her what she was laughing at, and Yiboer said: "An'er is indeed the child of Mrs. Fu Heng, and the child of Concubine Rong. He is really smart. It seems that he is talking about the emperor, queen and prince, but he is actually doing it for himself and Fu." Evergrande avoids suspicion and invites favor in front of the emperor, he dares to speak like this, it is not because the emperor usually dotes on him!Moreover, even though he didn't mean to say that about you and Concubine Rong, the Emperor is happy, right?Yong Qi smiled and shook her head.

They met with Yunduan and his wife in the capital city, and it was not convenient for them to see each other often after they moved to the Old Summer Palace, but because Yichun and Yibor were quite similar, they both had a bright personality, and liked to write poems and paintings, and they often corresponded and sang together.Yichun was good at painting from his father. In addition to calligraphy, the emperor also appreciated Wang Chengpei's flower and bird paintings.It was Wang Chengpei who painted "Beans, Grasshopper" and "Vegetables and Fruits" with colors and sprinkled golden paper fans to celebrate the emperor's birthday. It was his daughter who set the colors for him, and the emperor was full of praise.

After Yichun got married, he learned to ride a horse. The two couples also made appointments for outings and horse races, enjoying the cool air and enjoying the leaves.Yibol has three sons, while Yichun is young and only had a son this year, so the two have more topics to talk about.Yichun still refused to go back to Sang's house after giving birth, Princess Sang had no choice but to leave them alone, and the young couple moved back with their son.Yichun told Yibol that Yunduan was the only son, and they would have to live back sooner or later. The mother-in-law was good at everything, even if she was too meticulous, Yunduan couldn't bear it.Ybor just smiled: Yun Duan is such a good husband!

As early as the summer of the 26th year of Qianlong's reign, Yingluo invited Mr. Cao Xueqin, who wrote "A Dream of Red Mansions", to give lectures at the mansion. Mr. Cao was very lofty and arrogant.Later, Yingluo knew that the eldest son of the second sister-in-law, Mingren, had a close relationship with her because of being dunmin and sincere. Because it was not easy to push Mingren away, Mr. Cao came to Yujing Garden once.At that time, Yongqi, Yibol, Yunduan, and Yichun all asked him a lot of questions, but Mr. Cao refused to say more.Yichun said that her favorite title is "Tearing the Fan to Make a Thousand Gold Smile Because of the Qilin and the White Head Double Star".Mr. Cao knew what it meant when he saw the golden unicorns hanging on the chests of her and his wife.

It turned out that Yunduan also wore a golden unicorn since he was a child, but they didn't wear it to avoid people's eyes and ears when they were studying in Guangfan Hall.The unicorns of her and Yunduan are the same as the unicorns of Xiangyun and Baoyu in the book, one small and one big.Later, after the identity of the son of King Yunduansang was revealed, he hung up the golden unicorn.Yun Duan once laughed at her, saying that she must have fallen in love with him only when she saw that she was wearing a unicorn, she did not refute it, she was sweet in her heart, "Because the unicorn is under the white head double star", she was talking about Yun Duan and herself.According to what Mr. Cao said, Xiangyun married Wei Ruolan, and he also wore a unicorn when she was in the garden, so the unicorn was the lead of Xiangyun's marriage.

Yi Boer said that he also likes this episode the most, because he likes Qingwen very much, Qingwen tearing up the fan is so good!Such a capable and lively beauty, Mr. is really a stroke of genius!He also said that Mr. Cao wrote about love to the extreme, which is rare in the ages, and he made up a good tragedy, which makes people heartbroken and infatuated, and can't let go.Yongqi and Yunduan laughed, and Mr. Cao praised: not only Qingwen, monarchs and ministers, father and son, brothers, husband and wife, friends, sex, love is not enough to describe it.After hearing this, the whole audience was amazed.

Yiboer looked at Yongqi, and Yongqi also looked at her, smiling slightly.Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Yichun said with a smile: I think the young master nephew and Yun'er are the real golden couple, 'Don't lose and never forget, immortal life and prosperity', 'Never leave and never leave, we will last forever', this There is no one in the world who is "talented, beautiful and blessed" than Yun'er, and what's even rarer is that they are formerly allied with each other.When Yun Duan and Ying Luo heard the words, they both pursed their lips and smiled.Yongqi and Yongqi looked at each other again, remembering the first night of marriage in "Wuling Spring" that year. Yiboer was young at that time, and only later did he understand what Yongqi said to her that night... Mr. Cao didn't know the relationship between these two couples. With his real identity, he naturally didn't understand what Yichun meant.

Because Yingluo is an elder, she didn't ask a lot of questions, and later talked about "sexual compatibility" with Fu Heng with relish.Fu Heng knows that her favorite replay is "Love and Love, Good Night, Flowers, Meaning, Peace, Sun, Jade and Fragrance".Among them, the part where Baoyu told Daiyu the story of Yangzhou always reminded him of those two nights in Yangzhou that year, so he laughed and said: Mr. Shao wants me to accept the staff, so I will accept Mr. Cao.Yingluo knew that it was because of Cao Xueqin's poverty, so she said, "Mr. Cao is very arrogant, let's forget it."Brother Mingren has a relationship with him, so we asked Mingren to take care of him.Unexpectedly, after Prince Yi Hongxiao came out of the clan's mansion, he did a good deed by staying behind closed doors at home. Without him, there would be no such wonderful ancient books outside.

Mingren is a man of talent, personable, and is favored by the emperor. He is one of the famous princes in Beijing, and Mingyi has also worked in the Siyuan, and the second sister-in-law is very pleased.Mrs. Fucha is over eighty years old. Although she can't see, she has always been in good health. Fu Heng and Yingluo have four children, which comforts her extremely.

But Cao Xueqin didn't want to be favored by others, and Dunmin Duncheng could only do some charity. He was poor and sick, and he was saddened by the death of his beloved son. He died of illness in his residence in Xishan in February of this year.Not long after, Fu Heng's eldest brother, Guang Cheng, also died of illness. The manager of Fu Heng's funeral, the big house was already full of children and grandchildren, and all the relatives of Fu Cha's family in Beijing came to express their condolences.There are also hundreds of officials, big and small, from various ministries and colleges, all of whom have arrived. Although they have never met Guang Gong, they are also famous for their loyalty and bravery.Yuma Yimen Alley, you can't drive in for several miles, you can walk in.Comparing the two, it is unavoidable to make people feel emotional.

Yiboer and Yichun once read a certain "Poetry Inscribed in Red" in the market. They were sincere and sincere, and felt that they could offer condolences to Duke Cao:

The paper is full of chatter and chatter, and the hero's blood and tears are hard to stop.

Infatuation is gray and cold everywhere, and Shi is also worried when the illusion comes.

I am afraid that seeing the return of spring makes people easy to grow old, but I don't know that the water still flows when the flowers fall.

The dream of the beautiful loess is sad, and the rice and cuckoo recognize the old man Qiu.

After He Zhu became pregnant, Hu Jiajia completely took care of the affairs of the Rong Palace. She and Yong Qi enjoyed a lot. After giving birth, they were more satisfied, and the Hu family also felt relieved about their daughter.The three people in Prince Rong's mansion also often go racing around, and Yiboer is envious of her having sons and daughters.According to the emperor's will, Zhezhe has chosen Wangqin Bamubar, the son of Prince Heshuo Luobu Zangdanjin, as his forehead.Yingluo then laughed that Yongqi now enjoys the blessings of being equal to everyone, and Hai Shi always said that it was all due to Yingluo.Concubine Rong told the emperor that Yong Qi, like him, always gave birth to boys and had too few daughters, and the queen mother said the same.

In the past two years, under Yongqi's manager, the affairs of Guanzhuang have improved quite a lot.The government estates and official houses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are the largest in history. The rent collection of official houses has always been very prosperous, and they are mainly concentrated in the business district of the Outer Pavilion.

Hu Jiajia and Yi Boer helped him to do a detailed review and sorting work, peeling off cocoons, and concluded that the shortcomings of Guanzhuang lie in loose management.First, in order to protect the tenants, the imperial court prohibited increasing the rent and seizing the tenants. The tenants had considerable assets. Whenever there was a debt dispute, they would go to the Yamen to sue. The government will not be able to check the implementation of the land, and will not be able to collect the rent.The Nalan family's property is the same issue.Second, climate risks are all paid by the imperial court. Once a disaster occurs, the government will reduce the rent.

In view of these two major disadvantages, it is recommended to improve the assessment of Zhuangtou, and protect the Zhuangtou, because they are people who work for the court; when a catastrophe occurs, both the tenant and the court must bear the risk, that is, they cannot reduce rent without restraint. It is necessary to analyze the specific situation and set up a special disaster management office.After seeing it, the emperor was overjoyed.Jiao Yongqi and Debao are in charge of this matter.He also taught Yongqi to participate in tax affairs.

Xiaoquanzi Jiangnan's errands were done well, and the emperor was satisfied. When he returned to Beijing in the autumn of the 26th year of Qianlong, he gave the household department member Wailang Cong Wupin.The property of the Nalan family that Yingluo inherited was the private affairs of Yujingyuan, and he was also entrusted to take care of it. Since it was of the same nature as the official estate, he was asked to act according to Yongqi's orders.This year, he was promoted to the fifth rank of Lang Zhongzheng in the household department, and the emperor sealed the pearl as his imperial order.When the order was delivered home, Xiao Quanzi and Pearl were overjoyed, and went back to Dacheng County, Shuntian Prefecture to tell their family members.

The tax customs involved a lot of financial knowledge. Yongqi used all the achievements of the household department's education. He, his father-in-law Hu Cunzhu, who had moved to the household department minister, and the minister of internal affairs, Sanhe Binduan, did in-depth investigation and statistics.Because of the smuggling case of the Sang family, Yun Duan was still not appointed, but he was a close friend of Yong Qi. Since the horse skin case was made that year, the emperor had tacitly allowed him to participate in Yong Qi's various errands, and he planned to reuse him in the future.

In November of this year, Yongqi gave the emperor a ten-thousand-word note, detailing the current situation and disadvantages of the tax customs, pointing out that the Qing Dynasty was originally "light collection and thin collection", the tariff was not heavy, and the annual tax revenue of the household department was not high. It is not high, but these incomes do not include the part handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Because the emperor appointed Bao Yi's cronies as customs officials, many problems were caused.Since the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, Tianjin Pass, Beixin Pass, Xixin Pass and Hushu Pass have been handed over to Changlu Salt Administration and three weaving offices respectively. Jiujiang, Huai'an and Yuehai Pass have been specially assigned for coating since the early years of Qianlong.The goods sold by the Ministry of Internal Affairs at Chongwenmen Customs and local customs include:

One, ginseng.After entering the customs, the imperial court monopolized the Northeast ginseng monopoly.The first-class to third-class ginseng are used by the court, and the fifth-class ginseng, except for the share that can be bought by the prince in Beijing, is all taxed and sold.Ten years before Qianlong, the price of fifth-grade ginseng was 90 taels of silver per catty, and the price of coating was raised to please the emperor. By the 21st year of Qianlong, it had risen to 260 taels per catty.As a result, the Ministry of Internal Affairs received tens of millions of silver in income.The price of official ginseng is not cheap, and the price of ginseng on the market is even higher, which has become a noble gift for officials to bribe their bosses.

Second, jade and skins. The skins are mainly sable furs that Tangnu Ulianghai paid tribute to.

Third, foreign tributes include Goryeo paper, Ryukyu fans, Huijiang raisins, European feather satin and serge clothes, etc.

[-]. Cattle, alpacas, camels and horses in Shangsiyuan and other places.

The profit from the monopoly of the above items is between 60 taels and 80 taels. Therefore, the fiscal revenue of the Ministry of Internal Affairs accounts for about 15.00% to [-]% of the customs revenue.

Taking ginseng as an example, it can be seen that in order to please the emperor, the customs officer of Baoyi raised the price at will. In fact, the royal family was rich in wealth, which in disguise increased the burden on the common people and encouraged various malpractices of corruption.The common people's emphasis on eating and using "inner-made" items is not due to their high status and being rewarded by the emperor, but because they can afford the price-changing items of the royal family. "The danger is what the superior likes and dislikes, and the subordinates will soon follow." The emperor is requested to attach great importance to it.

The emperor was greatly shocked after reading it.Both Fu Heng and Concubine Rong praised Yong Qi greatly.Concubine Rong understood that the Gao family was the wrapped confidant that Yong Qi said, and she sighed in her heart: How do the children know what their parents are thinking?Seeing that the emperor was happy, he drank with him and danced the demon dance to celebrate.

After Aisha stayed in Beijing, Concubine Rong intentionally rehearsed the Tianmo Dance of the Yuan Dynasty. It was not until after Aisha gave birth to her eldest son that she learned the Buddhist Vajra Dance of the Western Regions from Aisha. And in the Mandala Chamber of Secrets, only seven people were set up, and seven court ladies played music.Restored the gorgeous red long-sleeved 'closed sleeve□□', combed the hair into several small braids, wore an ivory Buddha crown, wore a looming tassel, a bright red short skirt with gold trim, and a gold silk skirt. There are cloud-like shawls on the shoulders, and delicate and small Mongolian-style women's leather boots. Concubine Rong leads the singing of the "Diamond Sutra" and leads the dance. Lu Wenhong spent a lot of effort to match the magic weapon.

The ivory Buddha crown is the so-called skull crown, with five small skulls on it, which is one of the necessary solemnities for practitioners of Tantric Buddhism.Yingluo clothing is a cover made of net-like pearls, tied with Yingluo knots, and only the front panel is tied around the neck with a belt.

Needless to say, the emperor liked the dance very much, and he only allowed Li Yu to watch it with his attendants, and he was not allowed to publicize it to the outside world.

The author has something to say:

[Luobu Zangduoerji Family] Luobu Zangduoerji (Royal King) succeeded to the throne at the age of 6, and took charge of the banner administration at the age of 21. He was a soldier and horse for half his life. He served as the Zasak of Alxa Banner for 44 years, and he has made outstanding military achievements throughout his life. , with outstanding achievements, he was one of the heroes of the Qing Dynasty's battle against Junggar. He was awarded the highest title and had a profound impact on the historical development of Alxa Banner.Alashan, located in the west of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, is one of the three existing alliances in Inner Mongolia.Alxa Banner has a vast territory, with a total area of ​​more than 16 square kilometers, ranking first in the area of ​​Inner Mongolia. It is rich in mineral resources, especially lake salt reserves.He made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty in terms of minerals and salt affairs.

When King Luo was in power, in order to consolidate his ruling position and maintain local law and order, he established the Prince Alxa's cavalry team.The Prince's cavalry team set up a general barracks in the Dingyuan camp, and most of the soldiers were stationed in various defenses of the whole banner. During the war, they concentrated their actions and maintained social order in peacetime.While King Luo strengthened his political and military dominance, he used the Yellow Sect as a tool to subdue the Mongolian bannermen, and temples of the Yellow Sect in Alashan Banner were built one after another.The eldest daughter of Yongqi and the only grown-up daughter, the daughter of the Hu family, was selected as Wangqin Bambal, the eldest son of King Luo, who would inherit the fourth generation of Banner King of Alxa Banner.Therefore, the female died, and continued to refer to Wangqin Bambal, the daughter of Yongxuan (produced by the Wanyan family, Wanyan is the Sissy in the novel), and died early.During the period when Wangqin was in charge of the banner administration, Alxa Banner entered the golden age of salt industry development. The annual average income of the whole banner was 15000 taels of silver, and the cumulative income of more than 20 taels of silver in 30 years.

This family is the descendant of Gush Khan of Moxi Heshuote.The Heshuote tribe originally lived in Xinjiang, and was later forced by the Junggar tribe to move eastward to Qinghai and Xitao.In the 25th year of Kangxi (1686), he took care of the descendants of Shihan and Lali and lived outside the border of Ningxia.In the 36th year of Kangxi (1697), He Luoli was granted the title of Zasak Dorobeile, and the Alashan Erut Banner was set up.Another important figure in the Heshuo Special Department, Luo Bu Zang Danjin, another branch of Gushi Khan, the son of the tenth son Daxi Batur, is the uncle of the last Khan King Lhazang Khan of the Heshuo Special Department. He was a rebel in Qinghai the leader.The Heshuo Special Department was originally stationed in the east of Amdo (Qinghai). In 1717, the Heshuote Khanate was destroyed by Junggar, and Luo Buzang Danjin contacted the Qing Dynasty to counterattack the army of the Junggar Khanate that occupied Tibet. In 1720, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty appointed No.14 son Yinti as the general king, and expelled the famous Junggar general Dace Lingdun Duobu from Tibet.Luo Bu Zang Danjin wanted the Qing court to make him the king of Tibet. Although Kangxi had promised in advance, Kangxi abolished the king of Tibet at this time, and took Kang Jinai and Albuba as his sons, and Long Bunai as his assistant. Nai is a first-class Taiwan auspicious, and let them jointly manage Tibet affairs.

Soon, Emperor Kangxi died, and Emperor Yongzheng succeeded. In 1723, Luo Buzangdanjin united with Qinghai and Mongolian ministries to fight against the Qing Dynasty.Emperor Yongzheng sent generals Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi to lead the army to the west.In the second year of Yongzheng (1724), Luobu Zangdanjin was defeated by Yue Zhongqi, and his mother Altai Hatun and younger sister Abao were captured.Luo Bu Zang Danjin changed into women's clothes and fled to the Junggar Khanate.Afterwards, the Qing government appointed the Xining Minister of Affairs to administer the Qinghai area. In 1755, Emperor Qianlong sent Yongchang and Amur Sana to conquer the Junggar Khanate. Luobu Zangdanjin and Dawaqi were captured by the Qing army together.Emperor Qianlong spared him the death penalty and rewarded him with a house. He granted his second son the guard of Lanling.Yongqi married Hu's daughter and married her son.

The economic system and disadvantages of the Qianlong Dynasty involved in the novel refer to "Emperor Qianlong's Purse" written by Professor Lai Huimin.
