Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Concubine Rong said quietly: In the heart of the emperor, the most important thing is not people, but the country of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise you would not be punished until today, and neither will the prince... Fifth elder brother is upright and intelligent, follows the right way, and cares about the world , do his own thing well, and don't need anyone to pave the way for him. You have underestimated the emperor by saying that.

Nala thought to herself, so she is really a sensible person, and he really underestimated her.Concubine Rong continued to say: You want to ascend the throne of the queen, and you also have a deep love for the emperor.In fact, you have never been for the twelfth elder brother, nor for the fourth elder brother, not because no matter who will inherit the throne in the future, your status will not be shaken, but because of the emperor, because you care about the emperor.Your Majesty is the most important person in your heart, and you have a deep love for him.Empress, don't worry, Shen Bi will take good care of the emperor, because just like you, in my heart, the emperor is the most important person.

Nala's body shook, and he murmured: "One love is deep, one love is deep."Then buried his head and cried.Concubine Rong stood up and said to her in a barely audible voice: Prince He, he still got your tears. When we returned to Xinjiang, there was a saying that if you can get the tears of your sweetheart, your wish will be fulfilled in the next life.Tell the prince that he no longer wants to be born in the royal family, and he will do so.After finishing speaking, he walked out the door gently.

After a while, a man dressed as a guard walked in, went to the chair beside Nala and sat down, took off his hat and put it aside.Nala raised his head, wiped his eyes, looked at this man, met a familiar and bright gaze, felt a shock in his heart, and said: You... you... this man sighed, his eyes fixed on On her paper-pale face.

Nala closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face, and after a long while, he said, "What are you doing here?"The emperor said: Come to talk to you, the same as before.Nalashi still closed his eyes and said: "You go, I have nothing to say to you."The emperor sighed and said, "Okay, then listen to me."Shushen, I still remember that in the past, you often made shoes and clothes for me, but I didn't cherish them.Nala began to cry again.The emperor continued: So you have no children, it's because I didn't favor you.Your younger brother is because of the Gao family, your mother is because of your younger brother, and your father is because of Huang Erniang. In fact, they are all because of me.Originally, if you want to blame, you should blame me.

Nalashi laughed, opened his eyes, shook his head, and said calmly: Your Majesty, how could Shushen blame you?You are the husband I married when I was 15 years old, and the husband guides the wife.In my heart, there has never been a second man, nor a second person.It was Shushen who was useless, unable to make you love me, Erniang was right, Shushen was indeed useless.I cut my hair because my heart is dead and I want to break up with you.No matter how many women you have, I am willing to take care of you, I am willing to grow old with you, and I can be the queen of the Qing Dynasty. That is the wish I made in front of the Bodhisattva in the early years.

One Wish Lang Jun Chitose

Two wish concubines always be healthy

Three wishes are like Liang Shangyan

See you every year

When she read these few words, a light came into her eyes, then they dimmed again, and she continued: But I'm too tired, I can't do it. "Don't you see, the mirror in the high hall is sad and white, and it looks like blue silk in the morning and snow in the evening"... It has been more than 30 years in this high red wall... She said with a smile, and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.

The emperor sighed again, looking at her long hair hanging down, still black and shiny, wearing a dark blue long cloth jacket, although she was stained with tears, but her face was fine and well-proportioned, her eyebrows were beautiful, and she was wearing the usual flowers. Dew fragrance, the fragrance is very light, if there is nothing.Suddenly remembering those old clothes she made for him back then, and those he gave back to her later, he said slowly: I am not a good husband, I am ruthless, Shushen, is it really worth it for you for me? (Note: In the original drama of Yanxi Palace, Concubine Xian has a habit of getting up early to collect flower dew)

Nala stood up, knelt in front of him, and said: Concubine Rong said just now, in fact, you were ten years ago...then why did you wait for so many years?The emperor said: Because you are the queen of the Qing Dynasty.Nala shook her head and said: No, I still remember that you often accompanied me during the southern tour in 22 years, I know that you hurt Zhaoyang because of your heart.Your majesty, if Zhaoyang was still there, perhaps the concubine and you would not be what they are today.These years, you have often come to talk to me, even about palace affairs.

The emperor said: Shushen, I knew ten years ago that you killed Qian Zhengyuan, and I never told anyone.That roster, like Hong Zhou's, will not be released to the public, and will be destroyed in the future, so you don't have to worry about Yongxi.Nala was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said: So that's the case, the concubine finally understands, you have been waiting for me to tell you myself, to apologize to you.But Mr. Qian is your own uncle, how can the concubine let you know?That was my mistake, Ama's death really made Chenqie feel extremely heartbroken, and I felt that I was still useless...Even if Chenqie told you, would you really be able to forgive Chenqie?The concubine... has long been unable to turn back.

The emperor sighed slightly.But Nala smiled gently, raised his hand and gently wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and said to him: Your Majesty, it took so many years for you to dispose of me, and I have no regrets, which shows that I have something in your heart The location is not just the queen of the Qing Dynasty.Shushen was really satisfied.Thank you, Shushen, Lord Long En!Then he knelt down and kowtowed.

The emperor came out of Yikun Palace in a daze. In the late spring of the capital, it was raining lightly outside.The emperor burst into tears, and walked into the rain alone... in front of him was the bloodless smiling face of Lashi.

He helped her up, she looked at him, smiled slightly, and said affectionately: Your Majesty, Shushen deserves death for her crime, but I don't regret it.You ask me, is it worth it for you, I think it's worth it.To be your empress, the empress of the Qing Dynasty, and to stand side by side with you is my lifelong pursuit and honor.But if there is an afterlife, Shushen wants to be a couple of ordinary people with you, and I want you to love me, we are monogamous, one son and one daughter... Thank you for coming to talk to me for the last time, and for being willing to call me a concubine I don't want to implicate Yongzheng, thank you, the emperor... He shed tears and said in a low voice: Shushen.He hesitated a little, but finally leaned her into his arms, Nalashi hugged him tightly, also shed tears, continued to smile and said: Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself...

Suddenly, from nowhere in the air, a voice chanting in the play came faintly:

The Man in the Mirror Zhu Yanshou

Watch Love and Hate New and Old

Looking at the lamp is like daytime tears drenched

Let's see who's coming for an appointment after dusk

(Note: This is the Kunqu opera recitation at the end of the theme song of the original Yanxi drama)

The emperor murmured: You are the last old man in my mansion... His back is gradually blurred and far away... The wind and rain are like darkness, the towering Forbidden City is bleak and vast...

No one knew about the last meeting between the emperor and Nala, not even Concubine Rong Li Yu.

On March 23, the emperor also issued an edict to reward the queen's nephew Nasuken.But the news of the Queen's confinement had already spread like wildfire.

On the second day of May, the servant Ayong'a was demoted to Xinjiang after his strong remonstrance; on May [-]th, four copies of the treasures and papers of the concubine Xian, concubine Xian, concubine Xian, imperial concubine and queen were confiscated, but they were not confiscated. Queen number.On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, the Jin conferred the imperial concubine Wei as the imperial concubine, and took pictures of the affairs of the sixth palace; on the eleventh day of the sixth month, the canonization ceremony of the imperial concubine was performed.

Li Yu was very emotional. Wei Guiren, who "suffered a big loss" because he couldn't bear to "save" that year, turned out to be the lord of the Six Palaces, and he was honored as the number one hero of Chuxiu Palace.Debao Yilu, Wu Min, and many Han officials in the ruling and opposition parties were overjoyed. He and the prince died of illness, and the palace was convicted. The temple will soon usher in a new atmosphere of Qingming.

Yongqi and Yiboer understood that the old affairs in the palace that Nanny Pan participated in the investigation were related to the queen. Although she didn't know the inside story, Yongqi felt even more sad when she thought of her mother's ups and downs in the palace.Nanny Pan kept silent. He knew she was in a difficult situation, so he went to the emperor to plead for the emperor's mother, and said that the fourth brother's fault should not implicate the emperor's mother. Not to mention anything else.He went to ask the imperial grandmother again, and the queen mother smiled as usual when she saw him, but she refused to talk about it.He went to ask Concubine Rong and Fu Heng and his wife again, and the three only told him to stay out of the matter, while Haishi didn't know anything and couldn't say anything. (Note: The princes all call the queen's aunt as the queen mother, and call their biological mother the queen mother. Fukang'an calls the concubine Rong the queen mother because of the imperial decree issued in the early years of adoption)

Shao Fan offered incense at home to comfort the former master Wang Youdun. Wang's family was originally a generation of salt merchants in Changzhou. It was the former master who suspected Hong Zhou during his southern tour. After many years of investigation, the people arranged in the middle even searched through Fireworks and Willow Alley, Liyuan Theater, etc., before they revealed the secrets of Pufu and Hongzhou. Through the explosion of Yanyin's big case and joined forces with Fu Heng, they hit it off.Wang Youdun secretly arranged this matter, and only Shao Fan in Wang's mansion knew about it.

Since the 28th year of Qianlong, the censor of Zuodu granted Zhang Taikai the title. At that time, when the case of Hu Zhongzao happened, Zhang Taikai had written a preface to his poetry anthology. There is a heart disease in the daytime.And Man Que Le Misen is the yellow belt of the clan, and he had a good relationship with Yalha in the early years, so he doesn't like Hong Zhou either.The impeachment of Hongzhou by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the invitation of hundreds of officials to observe the funeral is also a crucial lead to bring down Hongzhou.

Shao Fan has gotten close to Fu Heng over the years, and fully understands why Fu Heng doesn't recruit staff. He doesn't need to recruit staff. He can achieve all his goals by relying on holding the Sacred Heart. He doesn't need to involve his colleagues and subordinates. He was overwhelmed with admiration.He finally knew that Yu Jingyuan's nephew was the fifth elder brother Yongqi, and he understood the feelings when he met him for the first time. It turned out that Fu Heng and the fifth elder brother were "forming a party".

The people who secretly attached to Hong Zhou and the Empress collapsed in essence. From the imperial court to the local government, most of these people were officials from the Eight Banners, and there were also some Han officials. They were all panicked, wondering what the Emperor knew.Those in Beijing who secretly participated in the planning of the Longevity Festival did not receive the final news of the launch, but after that day, Hongzhou "retired from illness" and stayed behind closed doors without any news. The emperor did not follow up any follow-up actions. Neither of them dared to communicate in private anymore.Everyone in the clan only felt that it was quiet from now on, and many people were secretly happy.

June 49th is the day when Hongzhou and Hai'an Qiqi [-] expire and the Qiqi breaks.On this day, a grand memorial service was held at the Prince's Mansion, with incense sticks and papers burned, monks and Taoist priests were invited to set off the flames, lamas chanted scriptures, and shaman wives danced to the gods.According to Hong Zhou's last words, only the princes of the clan were allowed to mourn, and none of the officials were invited.

So the princes' families sent people to urge paper money, tin foil ingots and other assistants, and after paying enough courtesy, the palace held a large banquet to entertain, and the whole street of Iron Lion Alley was blocked.When the auspicious time came, a large number of one-person-high paper-made pavilions were burned on the altar in the palace. Some of these paper bundles were built with tin foil ingots; Some of them are beautiful and beautiful girls, colorful, extremely luxurious and neat.

Ever since Hong Zhou was imprisoned, Yong Yu came in to "visit sick" without knowing it, but they were blocked outside the gate of the palace, saying that it was inconvenient for him and the prince to see visitors.After Hongzhou's death, he went to see Wu Deya again, but Wu Deya didn't see him, but asked someone to tell him that he was newly mourned, and his heart hurt his deceased husband, so he couldn't bear to see him.So for this funeral, he gave Wu Deya 2000 taels of silver before, saying that he and the prince, uncle and nephew had been close for many years.Wu Deya thanked him with a greeting.

In recent years, Hong Zhou often said that he was sick and could not go to court. Although the family still had guests coming and going, the clan felt that he was playing tricks. Since last year's Wanshou Festival, Hong Zhou officially "recovered behind closed doors", and the court became cold. Yongzhen was one of the few One of the people who still misses the old love after Hong Zhou's "recovery" and "sickness" died.But after that day, Wu Deya didn't say anything to him other than reciprocating the courtesy.

Doro also came, and this was the first time he was allowed to enter Prince He's Mansion after Hong Zhou was imprisoned and died.He knelt in front of Wu Deya, Wu Deya sighed, and said: Why do you always come to see me, the prince does not blame you, and I have nothing to say to you.Duo Luo said: Fujin, please let me kowtow in front of the tablet of the prince, thank you for your kindness, Rong Rong also wants to see you...

Wu Deya said: We know that you also have relatives, relatives, wives and children, but we don't want to see you, so go away and don't come again.So Doro solemnly kowtowed three times to her, and said: "Your lord and your kindness, Doro will never forget it. I asked the emperor early in the morning. No matter what, I won't let you move my lord's child. He promised me."Only then went away in tears.

After returning home that day, Doro told Rong Rong about the two rosters of Hong Zhou and the Empress.Rongrong was taken aback. She knew that Duo Luo sent the queen back to Beijing for confinement, but Duo Luo said at the time that he didn't know the reason and was just acting according to the order. Finally, he understood everything this year. He felt heavy in his heart and couldn't speak for a long time. Hold him tight.Only the flower spirit was jumping and screaming in the birdcage as usual...

In the middle of the night, after everyone was exhausted and fell asleep, Wu Deya stayed alone in the deserted sacrificial room, looking at the tablets of Geng, Hongzhou and Haian, and said softly: "Emiang, the prince, Hai'an, Deya Come to see you.How are you today?Lord, I'm late today, but I'm not tired. I was entertained by those two Zhang Luo, they worked hard.Yongbi and Yongxuan have done a lot of things, Shanshan cried all day again, did you see it?Without you, how could we still be here today... We shed tears as we spoke, and then continued: Two imperial decrees came from the palace today. According to what you and the emperor agreed, one is to inherit the throne forever and seal it forever The general of Zhen Guo, the second is that Shanshan has been named Heshuo and Princess Hewan. When Shanshan is 16 years old, she will marry Delek, the eldest son of Borzigit's Linqin, the king of Bahrain County, and stay by my side in Beijing.The queen mother also sent Manager Sun to salute.

Then she said to Hai'an's tablet: "Hai'an, I really miss you, but you told me that I saved your life that year, and I actually prepared it for the prince, so I agreed to you."Hai'an, after you left, I realized... You silly girl, you are more sincere to the prince than I am to him, and you treat him wholeheartedly. It turns out that you don't want children because the prince doesn't want to have any more children, and you committed suicide that year. It's because after being with him, you really fell in love with him, but you know from me that what he likes in his heart is... You can't tell me, and you don't want him to know.We women will suffer in the end, but I didn't expect that even if you are as smart as you, you would not be able to pass this test... Thank you!Thank you for taking care of the prince for me!Thank you for everything you do for us!Yinhong also asked me to greet you.As he spoke, he shed tears and kowtowed to the three memorial tablets.

Finally, she raised her head and said to Geng's memorial tablet: Er Niang, my daughter-in-law failed you and failed to persuade the prince. What I can do now is to take good care of your grandchildren and keep them safe. do not worry.

The author has something to say:

With Nala's original status in the middle palace, no matter who is the next emperor, she will still be the empress dowager, and continue to enjoy the highest status in the harem, the only difference is whether the emperor is her biological son.If the emperor is not her biological son, the emperor's biological/adoptive mother will be the Holy Mother Empress Dowager.

In the 29th year of Qianlong, [Zhang Taikai] and [Le Misen] were the censors of Zuodu.Zhang Taikai's official career is as shown in the article. In the seventh year of Qianlong (1742), he was a Jinshi, changed to a scholar, ordered to go to the study, taught editing, and moved to the Minister of Rites five times.In the 19th year of Qianlong (1754), when there was a vacancy in the Imperial Academy, Taikai recommended Zou Yigui Zizhiyi, the minister of the same department, to take up the post.In the following year, Hu Zhongzao's crime occurred. Taikai wrote a preface to his poetry anthology.In the 22nd year of Qianlong (1757), he was promoted to be an envoy, and moved to Zuodu Yushi three times.In the 31st year of Qianlong (1766), he was awarded the Minister of Rites.The following year, he returned to serve as the censor of Zuodu.In the 33rd year of Qianlong (1768), he was allowed to beg for a rest when he was old, and he was added to the crown prince Shaofu, and Gaozong wrote poems to practice it.Le Misen is a yellow belt. After the death of Qianlong in the 30th year, he was awarded "Guanbao", and he was promoted from the right servant of the Ministry of War to the Zuodu censor.It is a fiction to assume that he and Yalha have a good relationship.

In history, Hong Zhou's daughter was married as a princess, and married to the Mongolian prince mentioned in the novel.
