Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Yingluo asked Hong Xi's rebellion in the early years.

Fu Heng said:

It is difficult to separate the official and private affairs of the royal family, and the royal family affairs are state affairs.It is not easy to be a family, but it is even more difficult to be a family in the world.The late emperor attacked the eighth master, ninth master, and fourteenth master in order to end the party struggle left over from the time of the ancestors, but the method was too harsh.The reason why the emperor dealt with Hongxi, Hongjun, Hongsheng and others was that they were forming a party and hindering the court.Although Hongzhen kept the title of king, he was fined "eternal salary".But two years later, the emperor pardoned the punishment of Prince Zhuang Yunlu and Hongjun, and restored Hongjun's salary. Prince Zhuang and I compiled the Western Regions Chronicles, and Hongsheng also served as the minister of the guard.In short, the affairs of the royal family are complicated and difficult to explain in one word. Whether you are a prince or a courtier, you must be cautious.

The old thirteenth prince is a typical smart person, restrained and humble, and not down to earth.At that time, he was the most powerful official in front of the late emperor, but he said that his eldest son Hongchang was "stupid in nature and never knew how to lead". He asked the late emperor to confine him at home, in fact, to save his life.After the death of the thirteen princes, Hongchang was released by the first emperor, and as expected, he was involved in Hongxi's affairs. Fortunately, the emperor just sent his Baylor away, not his life.

When the Thirteenth Prince passed away, he asked the late emperor to let Hong Xiao, who was only eight years old, take the throne of Prince Yi instead of his 17-year-old brother Hong Jun, so as to avoid the late emperor's fear of Prince Yi's faction.Back then, Hong Xiao was punished because he was domineering, arrogant and arrogant. You designed the sausage and put salt in it just to give the emperor an excuse to continue to weaken the power of Prince Yi's faction.The reason why the emperor didn't kill King Sang was because he was the grandson of the thirteenth prince. The thirteenth prince was a great hero of the court, and the thirteenth concubine was still there, so the emperor actually had no prejudice against Yunxiang. , but none of his descendants can understand the painstaking efforts of their ancestors.

After Hongxi's incident, the emperor began to clean up the Ezhang faction.After the untimely death of Prince Yi, the first emperor began to rely heavily on Ertai and Zhang Tingyu, the foremen of the military aircraft, which eventually caused them to set up their own sects and fight openly and secretly. The Gao family also participated in it, which seriously affected the emperor's early administration.Therefore, party disputes and potential party disputes have always been the emperor's biggest taboo.Hong Zhou knew in his heart that Concubine Yu was also a smart person, but Hong Zhou still couldn't untie his knot with the emperor, and the emperor treated him the same way.

Yingluo laughed: Fu Hengda has the power to rule and oppose, but he has never formed a party. If you are smart, humble and prudent, who can surpass Fu Hengda? !Ever since you entered the military plane, the emperor admired the example of inviting the minister of the military plane to meet with you. In the end, the emperor arranged an 'evening meeting' with you alone. This evening meeting means that you are the leader of the military plane by default.This method is too powerful!Advance with retreat, be efficient and low-key, and avoid envy. "No matter how big or small, don't worry about everything", "Do your best to be a courtier", you can have power if you don't form a party, and "the world can't compete with it" is probably Mr. Fu Heng?The person who knows the emperor best in this world is still the young master.Fu Heng also smiled without saying a word.

Yingluo looked at him, and then said with emotion: After returning to Xinjiang, you have been safe and sound, and Fucha's family has been safe and sound.In fact, you entered the palace since you were a child, and the emperor himself trained and taught you. You are his "own man", you two are two swords, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, one is a bad face and the other is a|red|face , What a perfect match.He is the one who made you high and powerful, and he must be afraid of you, so Hong Zhou happened to be used by him.The emperor changed Prince Yi's Jiaohui Garden into Chunhe Garden for you, just to let you follow him?I understand, no wonder it turned out that Sang Yunduan actually disdained Duke Zhongyong's Mansion, it turns out that they all hated you.

Fu Heng shook his head and said with a smile: "Sang Wang's family is looking at your face, madam.But 'be careful' is the four-character motto of everyone, especially those who are officials in the court, especially me and the emperor, the emperor and the chief minister of the cabinet, and it is different from the emperor and other people. careful.We didn't invite outsiders to the elder brother's funeral, and the Fucha family and I need to be more cautious because of the grandeur. The late emperor and Nian Gengyao are recent examples.That's what I told Mingliang, Mingren and Mingyi at the time.

Yingluo laughed and said: But it was spontaneous, how could it be stopped?The emperor decreed that no one should come.Then you pleaded for Gao Huan, no wonder the emperor called you "fat heart", it was the time of Yumen's hearing, and later he told me himself.Fu Hengdao: Then what did you say?Yingluo said: I said he was talking nonsense, you are 'thin hearted', and you are so thin that you are pedantic and cautious. I have been watching and holding my breath. If he is dissatisfied with you, you will be restless when you go home, saying that sooner or later To resign from office.Yumen listened to the government because your pocket watch was out of order and slowed down, so it was late. He laughed and said you were "fat", and you were really scared when you came home!In fact, I have always been the one who is 'bold and fat', he understands best, he will deal with me first!he laughed.Fu Heng also clapped his palms and smiled, pulled her over, and said, "Thank you, madam!"Still the best lady.

In the afternoon of this day, Fu Heng and Yingluo laid paper together and wrote Dong Qichang's running script "The Story of Yueyang Tower". "Yueyang Tower" is this article.For this there is no hanging it on the wall.

Yingluo stared at Fu Heng as he wrote the last sentence. Seeing her looking at him, Fu Heng also raised his eyebrows to look at her.In a trance, she went back to that year again. On the corridor in the palace, he stopped her and said, "Wei Yingluo, no matter what prejudices you have, don't look down on men... At that time, it was really "a wonderful year, a handsome man." "Smart", the dream of many girls in the Forbidden City!It's hateful that the gray warm fragrance melts and disappears forever, the lanterns fall, the glazed fire, coming and going in a hurry... After so many years, he is still radiant!His brows are deep and steady, his speech is gentle and calm, and his actions are untraceable, all the sharpness is hidden in these beautiful eyes!What Fu Zhongtang, the leader of the military, does not need power and status, he is Fu Heng, a gentleman like jade, arrogant and strict, self-discipline and others, he has never changed... She then smiled and said: Young Master, in fact, you saved those people, If it weren't for you, those people would have been punished by the nine clans if they really had to be questioned.

Fu Heng shook his head, sat down on the couch, picked up tea, and said softly: The law does not blame the public, how sad and troublesome the Hu Zhongzao case that the emperor shocked the Hubei party is.It's supposed to be "the ruler governs the way of the emperor, and the ministers observe the festival", but the people at the top make mistakes, and it is the people at the bottom who suffer the disaster. This is not fair.Many people were involved in the torrent involuntarily. Hu Zhongzao was just a student of Ertai, and their family members and servants were even more innocent.Because of Hong Zhou's special status, he is not easy to act rashly, the emperor has deliberately indulged him for many years, and the emperor knows the evil consequences.Many people get close to the prince and queen because they don't understand the emperor's mind, thinking that they can have someone to rely on.I should be more careful than everyone else, otherwise there will be more people involved, remember about Agui's Amana.

Yingluo froze for a moment, the phantoms in the Forbidden City were all gone, there were no more guards and palace maids, he was Mrs Fu Heng, she was Wei Yingluo, and they would die from one to the other.Fu Heng has never been a romantic man, he is the "light-filled" sword that penetrates into every detail, "there is no boundless, and the things are invisible", this is the emperor's comment; he is kind and compassionate, just like the queen's sister .The emperor actually knows the real Fu Heng.He is like the Zhengde porcelain presented by Concubine Rong, "surpassing all things"...

In the Forbidden City, there has never been a romance, she should understand it better than anyone else... When she first entered the palace as a court lady more than 20 years ago, she was full of passion for revenge, thinking that she was very smart, but in fact she was very naive and thought she was smart.Nanny Zhang had talked about her back then, and the Empress Dowager had also talked about her when she went to the Old Summer Palace that year... Fu Heng also talked about her, starting when he was young.At that time he said that he was not afraid of anyone, he was for her...

She watched Fu Heng's slender fingers put the tea bowl back on the table, nodded, walked over, sat with him, held the hand with a smile, then leaned her head on his shoulder, and chanted, "Hey!Micro man, who I go? '(Note: This is the last sentence of "Yueyang Tower")

Not long after the emperor visited Luan in the south, Yongxuan, who was locked up in the clan's mansion, received good news: Sissy was pregnant.Yongxuan has been married for nearly ten years and finally has a child!He only felt that after he lost his freedom, he actually got the child he dreamed of.Everyone in Prince Lu's Mansion, including Ye Tianshi, was overjoyed.The clan mansion also reported the news to the emperor.Concubine Rong, Yong Qi, and Fu Heng and his wife all interceded for him. The emperor finally let Yong Xun go home, but he was asked to think about his mistakes in the mansion and not go out without purpose. ban.But everyone felt that this had taken a step towards benefit, and he himself had confidence.

He finally began to read the "Quran" often, and many words in it moved him. In addition to "Allah guides whomever He wills to His light", he also wrote this sentence on the paper: "Allah will allow whomever He wills to repent and reform".When he thought of Concubine Rong again, he realized that she was actually different from what he imagined.That year in Nanyuan, she was the one who protected him, and with a deep sigh in her heart, she quietly took out the Huihui golden brocade given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to have a look.

From the day he received this thing, he locked it in a cabinet in the warehouse. At that time, his wife and concubines didn't understand it, but they only thought that because he didn't like Fifth Elder Brother, he didn't like the reward from Concubine Rong.It's just that he doesn't know that there are still many people who protect him, Mingxiu, the queen, Fu Heng and his wife, Ye Tianshi, and his wife Mingxiu, who he misses very much, died in the age of cardamom because of this incident.

It was only after returning home that Yongxie found out that he and the prince had died of illness, and the queen was under confinement. She felt strange and very sad.He felt that the emperor didn't let him go out because he didn't want him to see the empress, including the twelfth elder brother. He didn't know why the empress' mother offended the emperor during her southern tour. All the court ladies have been dismissed, and there is no one there.The rest of the palace did not know either.Going to Prince He's mansion, Fujin said that he was not in good health, so he didn't see him behind closed doors, and only said that he would invite the fourth elder brother Yuanyuan.So he wrote to ask the emperor's grandmother.

The queen mother replied only that "the queen hates the emperor deeply on weekdays, and she can't fulfill her filial piety in front of the queen mother. She has not abolished her queen title", and Yongxuan herself has just returned home after being freed from crime, so she must be careful not to get involved with her, so as not to anger the emperor again and ruin her future.

Yongxie read the letter from the emperor's grandmother, and was very worried about the emperor's mother, and was very puzzled by what the queen mother said, "the queen hates the emperor deeply", and was even more shocked by the words "traces are crazy".After he was imprisoned in the clan's mansion in September last year, he hadn't seen the queen again, but it's only been less than a year, how could she be crazy when she was so well-behaved?Until the time of Nala's death, he was not allowed to leave the mansion, never saw Nala again, and did not reply to Yongxie's letter if he wanted to see him.But Nala heard from Yongzhen that he had given birth to a son, Mianhui, and felt comforted.

Jin Jian is an insider, so she is naturally very happy. The revenge of the two sisters of the Jin family has finally been avenged!And the two older brothers of the two sisters are very good, Yongxuan will be fine, and no longer running for the heir to the throne is the greatest security guarantee, and the Jin family will be more peaceful and prosperous from now on.He was even more relieved to receive a letter from Yongxuan pleading for forgiveness.

At this time, Elder Brother Twelve was only 13 years old, and he did not go on the southern tour with him because he was injured while drawing a bow.Seeing that her mother was sent back to confinement and was seriously ill, she went to ask Huang Ama, but Huang Ama didn't say anything, and felt very sad. She mourned and wept in front of the nurse, but became reticent to other people in the palace. He was even more apprehensive in front of the Empress Dowager, but these two people still treated him the same as before.He was originally close to Yong Xing, including Jiang Jiang, who were similar in age, but he gradually drifted away because of this.But he can often talk with his mother, and his mother is much more kind to him than usual, even closer to his mother than before.Seeing that my mother was dressed in simple clothes, she was also sewing for herself, just like an ordinary woman. I have grown up so much, and I have never seen her look like this.His mother also told him to study hard, ride and shoot hard, listen to Huang Ama, and not let Huang Ama down.I only felt extremely sad, and felt the warmth of family affection like never before.

Gu Qin gave birth to a boy, tears filled his eyes as he hugged the newborn son.The emperor named him Qian Xi because the queen mother was originally the concubine of the first emperor.The queen mother only learned about the cause and effect of Gu Qin's mother and child from Concubine Rong after the child was born, and said: I said that child looks familiar.Not envious of vanity, is a good boy.He patted Concubine Rong's hand again and said: You are also good, you can handle things, it suits my heart.

Concubine Rong smiled at her: Thank you, mother-in-law, the emperor really gave birth to a boy again!Hearing from Mrs. Nalan, the Qian family was delighted!The Qian family is already the richest man in Jiaxing, but they have always been frugal and low-key. When the child was full moon, they rented the Misty Rain Building and set up running water mats for ten days. They spent 3000 taels of silver. The whole city of Jiaxing was a sensation. I paid 3000 taels of silver.The queen mother laughed happily when she heard this, and said: Amitabha.He didn't have any grudges against Gu Qin any more, and went to the Bodhisattva to offer incense to comfort the emperor's birth mother, Mrs. Qian, and said the child's name, saying that the emperor really forgave himself.He also asked Yingluo to come to see her, and thanked her for what she had done for herself and the emperor, fulfilling the wishes of both mother and son.Yingluo just knelt down, kowtowed solemnly and said: Empress Dowager, the one who wants to thank you is Yingluo.

After the puerperium, Gu Qin bid farewell to his son and returned to Yujing Garden to continue singing as usual. Yingluo arranged for him to meet the Queen Mother secretly in Changchun Garden.She goes back to Jiaxing for a period of time every year, saying it is to visit relatives, but actually to visit her son.According to what Qian Fuli discussed with Master Qin, he said that she was his distant sister who lived in Shandong.Three years later, following the emperor's will, she left Yujing Garden and moved to Jiaxing for a permanent residence.Yingluo told everyone that the relatives of the Gu family couldn't bear her living outside, and finally took her back.

That year, Qian's family gave birth to another son, who was named Qian Tan by the emperor (Note: Because the emperor's sons all start with "Yong", while the sons of Qian's family start with "Xin").After giving birth to her second son, Gu Qin moved into the Qian family's compound, and told the outside world that she had never married, so she came to live with her elder brother.I go back to Duke Zhongyong's mansion twice a year, actually to meet the emperor and inform the two sons and the current situation of the Qian family.

The two children were both born in Qian's other courtyard, and Mrs. Qian wore a fake belly for half a year every time to hide it from others.Besides Mrs. Qian, the two children's favorite person is their aunt Qian Feiyao.In the long run, Qian Yu became the head of the Qian family business, and together with Qian Fuyu's only son, ran the Qian family rice business. Ranked among the royal merchants.They also met Master Qin who went south, and knew that he was the nobleman and benefactor of the Qian family.

The author has something to say:

[Butterfly Love Flowers] Butterflies and flowers are the so-called "Butterfly Love Flowers", also known as "Flower Butterfly Patterns" Butterfly Playing Flowers" or "Butterfly Chasing Flowers". The sketches of flowers and grass insects are very popular, and butterfly patterns also become popular. On porcelain, embroidery and gold and silver wares in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, butterflies and flowers often form thematic decorations, showing the beautiful artistic conception of "butterflies in love with flowers". In the Xiyuan play, the ending song "Forgetting Each Other" begins with the animation of Butterfly Love Flower. At the end, the light blue dress that Yingluo wears on the Yuzhou is also the pattern of Butterfly Love Flower. Butterfly, this has been analyzed in my Fu Ying's long commentary and double standard essay.

["Fat heart" and "Yumen Tingzheng" accident] "Fat heart" is a word that Qianlong and Fu Heng laughed and beat him in history.The Imperial Gate was listening to the government, that is, the Great Court Meeting of the Qing Palace. The emperor met with six ministries, nine ministers and hundreds of officials. One time, Fu Heng's performance was slow and delayed.Fu Heng is particularly fond of Western clocks. The Zhongyong Duke's Mansion even carries servants, which has something to do with him being the foreman of the military aircraft. The military aircraft department must operate efficiently, and he is the highest officer who needs to be supervised.Western clocks and watches were expensive and rare items at that time, and most of them were manufactured by the imperial manufacturing office.The so-called Yumen listening to politics is the "Great Court Meeting" in the original play. The official "Going to the Court" held in the Qianqing Palace, meeting the six ministers and nine ministers, civil and military officials, and etiquette is very particular, so the late arrival of the military chief is a big deal.Since Yongzheng established the Military Plane Office, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty had very few days to hold large court meetings. Most of them only saw military planes in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which is the so-called small court meeting.

[Dong Qichang] (1555-1636), styled Xuanzai, named Sibai, also named Xiangguang Jushi, was born in Huating (now Songjiang, Shanghai). The main representative of the "Huating faction".In the 16th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1588), he became a Jinshi, an official to the Ministry of Rites, and died with the posthumous posthumous title of Wenmin.Dong Qichang was good at appreciating calligraphy and painting, collected many works of famous masters, and wrote a lot on the theory of calligraphy and painting. His painting theory of "Northern and Southern Schools" had a profound influence on the painting circle after the late Ming Dynasty.Gong Calligraphy, which is said to be obtained in the easy way, has a great influence on the calligraphy of later generations.His calligraphy and painting creation emphasizes imitating the ancients, but he does not stick to the ancients. In the use of brush and ink, he pursues the effect of being mature and emerging.Coupled with his prominent political status at the time, his calligraphy and painting style was well-known in the world and became the mainstream of the Ming Dynasty art circle.
