Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

After hearing these words, all the people in the house were astonished. The evidence was convincing, and they didn't know how the emperor would deal with it.The emperor's face was gloomy, and he said: On weekdays, when Concubine Rong went to the mosque for an evening ceremony, did Fu Heng meet her privately?The man said: I haven't seen that villain before, but two days ago, when he and Concubine Rong came out, they were very close, holding hands, and went out of the temple gate together. The villain was also surprised, but he was afraid that Master Fu Heng would find out I dare not follow out to see.

All the people in the house gasped and fell silent.The emperor stared fiercely at Yalhashan, who was very proud of himself, but couldn't help shrinking under the emperor's gaze.Huo Jizhan has been thinking about it, but looking at the current situation, if he speaks, I'm afraid Fu Heng will be in more trouble, and Fatima is also in a lot of trouble, and he is very anxious. He looks at Hai Lancha, Hai Lancha shook his head slightly, he I don't know what he means, is it that Fu Heng is fine, or that the matter is irreversible.

Suddenly the emperor sneered and said: Hai Lancha.Hai Lancha hurriedly said: Yes.He went out in a hurry, and then brought in a returning man, who was in his thirties, with a brocade robe and crown, and a dignified appearance.Emida and Liu Tongxun couldn't remember who this person was for a while, but Yalhashan and Huo Jizhan knew him. This person was Concubine Rong's elder brother, Tuerdu, the first-class Duke of Taijifu who was proclaimed by the emperor.

After Turdu came in, Hailancha personally closed the inner door of the courtroom behind him, and everyone was shocked again, knowing that the next interrogation involved the emperor's favorite concubine and the emperor's confidants, and what was related to the emperor's face.Liu Tongxun thought to himself: Yalhashan is definitely dead, he has joined the military plane, why is he so stupid, even if Fu Heng and Concubine Rong really have an affair, he is dead.Omida felt his heart beating with fear, a catastrophe was imminent, and secretly anxious like ants on a hot pot, he could only force himself to calm down.

Tourdu bowed to the emperor, and the emperor said to him: "You speak."

Turdu said: Yes.On that day, the emperor asked Master Hailancha to come to me and said that he would mention Huo Jizhan to the sky prison, and asked Fu Heng to interrogate Huo Jizhan secretly in the mosque on behalf of the emperor, and asked me to be a witness together.I saw that my younger sister came to my house by herself and didn't eat or sleep for a few days. I was very worried that something might happen to my younger sister, so I begged Lord Hailancha to ask the emperor to allow my younger sister to see Huo Jizhan for the last time. The emperor sympathized with my younger sister. , and finally agreed, but this matter must not be made public, and Mr. Fu Heng and I will be by the side, and no mistakes will be allowed.The secret interrogation and meeting are important confidential matters, so I discussed with Mr. Fu Heng to dress up the little girl early in the morning and let her cover up her identity to go to the lobby for the morning ceremony. Mr. Fu Heng and I also disguised ourselves.Later, Master Hai Lancha brought Huo Jizhan, and I asked him to see the younger sister. I and Master Fu Heng went in through the other door and waited for them in the chapel.When she met Huo Jizhan in the small auditorium, Mr. Fu Heng and I were present throughout the whole process.After Huo Jizhan left, my younger sister fainted suddenly. I was worried that I would attract attention and ruin the emperor's affairs, so I instructed Mr. Fu Heng to take my younger sister out of the lobby as originally planned, while I went out through the outer door first. Then meet in the alley outside the temple to pick up the little girl.

The emperor looked at Hailancha and Huo Jizhan and asked: Is that so?Both Hai Lancha and Huo Jizhan nodded.Huo Jizhan felt relieved. Although he didn't understand why the emperor did this, seeing that Fu Heng and Fatima were fine, he smiled at Hailancha, but Hailancha seemed worried.The emperor smiled, and said to Yalhashan and the guard Mu Dalun: You two understand, right?Both Yalhashan and Mu Dalun were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they fell to the ground.The emperor first ordered Huo Jizhan and Mu Dalun to be taken to prison, then looked at Yalha and said, "Aren't you recruiting?"Who ordered you to compete with Fu Heng for credit, and who ordered you to monitor Fu Heng?

Yaerhashan complained endlessly in his heart, seeing that he had fallen into the emperor's trap from the beginning to the end, and he was powerless to recover, so he broke his heart and said: "It's all done by a slave, absolutely no one ordered it!"The emperor sneered and said: I will ask you again, who instigated you?Yaerhashan poked his neck and said: It is indeed the slave who did it alone!The emperor then said to Liu Tongxun: "Since Yaerhashan has been recruited and has no accomplices, Omida will send you off after I ask you. You are the Minister of the Ministry of punishment. How do you think you should deal with Yaerhashan?"

Liu Tongxun stood up, faced the emperor, cupped his hands, and said solemnly: "Return to the emperor, Yalhashan deceived the emperor, released the court officials privately, slandered the first-class officials of the court, and had ulterior motives. .According to the law, there are still nine clans, but Yalhashan is a red belt, and his nine clans are likely to be related to the clan's close relatives, so Liu Tongxun stopped talking.There was a thunderbolt above Yalha Shanru's head, and his mind went blank.

The emperor said: "Quick play."Emida, let me believe that you did not participate in this case, you go home and write a letter of repentance, and submit it to me for review before discussing.I will send someone to investigate, and if you are found to be involved, you will be dealt with according to the law.Emida was sweating profusely, trembling all over, hurriedly left his seat and kowtowed to thank him.The emperor said again: "Today's matter... Emida and Liu Tongxun immediately bowed down and said: "Don't worry, your majesty, the Ministry of Punishment will never reveal a word!"Those who violate the order will be shot to death!The emperor seemed satisfied, so he let Turdu Amida and Liu Tongxun go out, leaving only Hailancha in the hall, and Hailancha went to close the door again.Then the emperor came down from the hall, put his hand on Yaerhashan's shoulder, and said: "It's true that no one instigated you, so you have the courage to frame Fu Heng?"Now that there is no one else, don't be afraid, just tell me, and I will punish you lightly as appropriate.

Yalha said kindly: Your Majesty, after thinking about it in Yujingyuan that day, you asked the slave to release Huo Jizhan, and said that you would not be held accountable for the slave's robbing of credit, and you could save the slave's family.The emperor said: That's right, I keep my word, just now I just made a show in front of everyone.According to the law, the crime you committed will be interrogated by the three divisions. I only issued a public trial by the Ministry of Punishment, and I personally tried it. I just wanted to pardon you, but why did you gossip about Fu Heng and Concubine Rong?Also said no one instructed?Yalha kindly said: You want to torture the slave, the slave is afraid...

The emperor smiled and said: Really?If I didn't mention torture, wouldn't you have recruited that guard?Didn't you bring him here early in the morning?You came with me, and I didn't see anyone else, how did you bring him here?Seeing that the emperor was as clear as a candle, Yalha could only respond: "Slave...take him in his sedan chair."The emperor stared at him and said, "You are quite courageous!"Who ordered you to do this?There are only me and you here, if you tell me, maybe I will spare your life and your family.

Yaerhashan finally seized a chance and said, "It's... and the prince."The emperor's eyes lit up, and he said angrily: "Yarhashan, you are really amazing!"If you fail to frame Fu Heng, then frame He Prince!All my ministers of military aircraft are your playthings? !explain!Who gave you the guts!Yalhashan said anxiously: "What the servant said is not half a lie, and the prince has invited the servant to come to the house many times... He and Fu Heng have always been at odds. Seeing that Huo Jizhan could not be caught for a long time, he ordered the servant to do it." all of these.

The emperor was silent for a while, and said: Yalhashan, do you know who Prince He is?Yaerha said kindly: "The slave knows that he is the emperor's younger brother and the only prince in the dynasty, so the slave dare not disobey his words... The emperor then smiled and said: "If you are me, what will you do?"

Yaerhashan suddenly realized that he had no way out, he was stunned for a while, and said: Your Majesty, the slave's life cannot be saved, but it is up to the Emperor to decide.The emperor sighed and said: Hong Zhou was loved by Huang Kao when Huang Kao was alive, I must not hurt Huang Kao's heart, what you said just now, only I and Hai Lancha heard, you The crime is obvious, and in front of so many people, you say that you have no accomplices. Even if what you just said to the prince is true, your crime cannot be avoided, and you have added a crime of deceiving the king, do you understand? ?

Yalhashan said: ... The slave understands everything. The guard of the mosque was bought by the prince. The slave didn't know in advance, nor did he know that there was such a person. He told the prince that the power of heaven is unpredictable, but as long as the slave brings the guard as a Witnesses, if you expose this matter in court, you will surely save your life.He also said that in case the servant is still powerless, as long as the servant does not confess him, he can plead with the emperor to save the servant from death...

The emperor left his seat, paced back and forth in the hall, and said furiously as he walked: So, you didn't believe what I said, but you believed him instead, hello... Who really owns the world of the Aixinjueluo family? !How can I protect you if you call me?Humph, don't you dare not listen to him!who is he?Yaerhashan was so frightened that he shivered and kowtowed again to beg for mercy.

The emperor finally sat back, and said slowly: I just want you to tell the truth to me at last, so I will give you a whole body, so as to save you from the pain of being delayed. I will not hold your family accountable, your son, In the future, I will consider it at my own discretion... But you must never tell anyone what I said to you, let alone Hong Zhou, if you enter the sky prison, you will be dumb for me... Yaerhashan, you have to understand , if I want you to die and your son to die, who can stop it?Who can intercede?Yaerhashan wept bitterly, kowtowed and said: I obey the orders, I thank the Lord for your grace!

After Yalhashan was taken down, the emperor looked at Hailancha seriously, and Hailancha lowered his head.When Luanjia returned to the emperor's study in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Hai Lancha let Li Yu stand guard outside, knelt down in front of the emperor himself, and said: "Your Majesty, what happened that day, what the servant said was all the truth. Concubine Rong had an affair, he would never betray the emperor, he just... just... the emperor was sitting behind the desk, interrupted Hailan and said: He just moved his heart of compassion.Hai Lancha said: Yes, it's these four words. Since the emperor understands it all, then... don't blame him, right?

The emperor said: I told you to bring Huo Jizhan out of the dungeon to meet him, and let Huo Jizhan lie to Yalhashan in the courtroom, in order to draw out the person behind Yalhashan, but he turned out to be fine, by the way Let the two of them bid farewell, they really know how to behave!Huo Jizhan was doomed, so he did it just to be a favor to Shen Bi?Because Shen Bi is taking care of fifth elder brother and Fu Kang'an?Is this going to be in series with the harem?He is worthy of being my most capable military minister.But he was wrong, that's what I meant!Everything about Shen Bi is given by me, and I can take it away at any time!

Hai Lancha said: Your Majesty, Fu Heng is definitely not such a person, he will never use his power for personal gain.The emperor snorted and said: "I don't know how to seek personal gain, so let me ask you, if I hadn't received a secret report, then asked Turdu, and helped him cover it up, how would he clear the testimony of the mosque guard for himself?" ?Hai Lancha said: "Yes, the emperor has all his heart for Fu Heng. When he turns back, the slave must ask him to thank the emperor himself for his sins and gratitude."The emperor said: No need, Tuer has explained everything to me.

Hai Lancha hesitated for a while, and said: Fu Heng once mentioned it to the servant, Yingluo couldn't bear it.So the minion felt that he was doing it for this reason.The emperor looked up at Hai Lancha.Hai Lancha said: Your Majesty, you know that women are troublesome.The emperor thought for a while, sighed, and said: When you go, you have to go, and you can't stay.He was lost in thought while speaking.When he raised his head again, he found that Hai Lancha was gone, and Fu Heng was kneeling in front of the desk.He snorted: You came quickly, Hai Lancha, this slave, I don't allow him to tell you earlier, I'm afraid he can't bear it anymore.

Fu Heng hurriedly said: The slave deserves death, thank you for everything the emperor has done for the slave!The emperor asked: Hailancha said that you are for Yingluo, is it true?Fu Heng said: Yes.Yingluo let Huo Jizhan be arrested for the sake of the emperor, but she saw that Concubine Rong is such a kind and loving person, so she couldn't bear it and blamed herself. The servant wanted to fulfill her wish, so... and there was a servant present, Concubine Rong Nothing will happen with Huo Jizhan.The emperor sighed and said, "Get up."Fu Heng didn't move, he just said: That day when the servant saw Concubine Rong fainted, he had to help her, so... the emperor said: "Sister-in-law is the one who gives you help."Are you trying to say this?Fu Hengdao: "Your Majesty has learned from you."

The emperor looked at him and said: Fu Heng, do you know who is behind this?Fu Hengdao: Hailancha just told the servants.The emperor said: Fu Heng, there is an old saying that the son of a daughter cannot sit down.What is your status now, how can you give someone a handle?If Rong Yin was alive, he would definitely blame me for not teaching you well.Fu Heng kowtowed and said: Your majesty, you are so grateful for your servant and sister's heart.The emperor smiled and said: No wonder Yingluo wanted to keep me for lunch that day, so she colluded with you to deceive me again!Fu Heng hurriedly said: Yingluo's heart for the emperor, she will be sad if the emperor misinterprets her so much.After the servant went back that day, she told the servant that she hoped that you would come to your house often when you have time.

The emperor looked at him with a smile, and said: "Get up, go back and tell Yingluo, and say that I have allowed them to see each other for the last time, otherwise I won't cover up this matter for you."Fu Heng got up and said: Yes, thank you, Your Majesty.But Yalhashan, does it really have to be killed?The emperor looked at him, with an unfathomable light in his eyes, and said: Fu Heng, if you hadn't let them meet, Yaerhashan would not have died, but now, he must be killed.Fu Heng was a little sad, and said: I understand, I just feel that he is not guilty of death, Yingluo is fine, and that guard is only ordered by others, so he is not guilty of death.

The emperor said: "Let's stop here."Fu Hengdao: "Yes, the servant obeys the order."The emperor looked at him again, and said: I know that you and Hongzhou have many disagreements in government affairs, but since we are both working together in the military aircraft, we have to abandon our old opinions and work for the court together. It's about Hong Zhou.Fu Hengdao: Yes, the servant understands.The slave has always been discussing the matter as it stands, not against the prince.The emperor nodded.

The author has something to say:

[Historical prototype] Concubine Rong's elder brother Turdu.In the 25th year of Qianlong, Tu Erdu and other five households of Hezhuo who contributed to the war, and Hojis and other three households who contributed to the suppression of the chaos were summoned to Beijing one after another to meet Emperor Gaozong.Qianlong ordered them to live in Beijing, and sent envoys to bring their family members to Beijing, and granted Tuerdu and others the first-class auspicious status.

In the process of unifying Xinjiang in the Qing Dynasty, Nidu and Huo Jizhan launched a separatist rebellion, while Erseyin and Zhuo and his brothers, sons and nephews resolutely opposed the separatist rebellion.In 1760 after the rebellion was over, this group of Uyghur nobles (the Hezhuo family and the Yarkand royal family) moved to Beijing and accepted the titles of the Qing government.

There were eight families of Xinjiang nobles who moved to Beijing.They are the four Hezhuo households of the Karamat family of the Baishan School: Eser Yin, the uncle of Concubine Rong, is the Duke of Fengfu; "Prince", the title of the Mongolian prince); their nephew Mamut, the title of the first-class Taiji; Third class Taiji.There are also two Aqimu families of Uyghurs in southern Xinjiang: Huojisi, Feng Beile (Manchu: beile, the noble title of the clan in the Qing Dynasty); and Shike, Feng Fuguogong.In addition, there is another family that is the great-grandson Hashmu of Babai Khan, the former ruler of the eastern part of the Yarkand Khanate.Since they were all conferred titles of Taiji and above, they are collectively called the "eight nobles who returned to Xinjiang and lived in Beijing" in history books.

The knighthood system in the Qing Dynasty was very complicated and divided into different objects and levels.Among them, those dealing with ethnic minorities such as Mongolia are under the control of the Lifan Yuan, which is divided into princes, county kings, Bei Le, Bei Zi (Manchu: beisi, clan title), Zhen Guo Gong, and Fu Guo Gong; Kyrgyzstan, first to fourth.The salaries and silver they receive also vary according to the level of nobility.The promotion of titles is very strict, and special meritorious service must be established; inheritance is only allowed to one son, and titles that are not inherited because of military merits must be lowered; ", so there is no need to downgrade and inherit.Therefore, the first-class Taiji in Turdu is actually one level below Fuguogong, but the novel combines the two into one.

The lives of the eight princes and Taiji were directly managed by the Lifan Academy, and their salaries were paid on time and rewarded to Lumi.Their stewards, followers, chefs, craftsmen, servants, jugglers, song and dance troupes, imams and other clergy, etc., about 300 people, are organized into a leader, belonging to the Zhengbai Banner of Mongolia, and the salary and rations are distributed on time.The highest officer of the banner is Dutong, and the subordinates are divided into several assistant leaders, which are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.The leader in charge of the Uighurs in the capital is named Bai Hezhuo; under the leader, there is one person from the Xiaoqi School and four leaders to assist in the work.Later, Xinjiang Uyghurs who moved to the capital successively were also placed here.According to records in 1776, the 41st year of Qianlong's reign, all Xinjiang residents living in Beijing, headed by Belle Hodges with the title of county king, were all managed under the leadership of Xianghuang Banner and Zhengbai Banner San Zuo.Their salaries, lumi, money and food, horses, tickets for going out of the city, official horses accompanying them, travel expenses, etc., were all handled by their respective banners in accordance with established regulations.

Such an arrangement is tantamount to ascending to heaven in one step for the Uyghur nobles who got rid of the humiliating hostage life and became royal nobles; Privileges lost in hometown.They are grateful and willing to work for the imperial court.

In order to accommodate the Uighur nobles who came from afar, in January 1760, that is, in December of the 1th year of Qianlong, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had completed the repair of several houses in Beijing.The house allocated to Eseryin and his family is west of Chang’an Gate, which is the south of the east section of West Chang’an Street today, where it was called “Huiziying” back then (Dong’anfu Hutong is one of the famous streets) ).For example, Turdu, who moved to the capital, was resettled to live in Dongsiliutiao. He got 24 official houses and received 22 taels of silver to buy clothes, saddles and other items.Islam has been called "Islam" for a long time in history, and the people who believe in it are collectively referred to as "Hui people"; The Muslims in Xinjiang are called "Huizi", and sometimes they are preceded by place names as their native places.

Emperor Qianlong was well aware of the influence of the "Hezhuo" family in southern Xinjiang.In order to prevent the recurrence of the split between the big and the small and Zhuo, Qianlong ordered all the "eight nobles" to stay in Beijing, and asked the ministers in southern Xinjiang to send their family members to Beijing.These people are |religious|nobles and leaders, and of course they have to bring a large number of followers, servants, slaves, and even A Xun who recite scriptures to take care of their daily life. There are a lot of people.The Qing government incorporated them into the Mongolian Zhengbai Banner, which was under the jurisdiction of the capital.These Uyghur princes Burke were often received by the emperor and participated in court feasts, including the annual Rehe Summer Retreat and Mulan Autumn Festival.

The main residents in "Huiziying" are Uyghur craftsmen and entertainers, most of whom enshrine their skills in the court.As the number of Uyghur craftsmen and entertainers relocated to Beijing continued to increase, "Huiziying" also underwent a process of expansion.In the 27th year of Qianlong (1762), the total number of houses in "Huiziying" increased from 147 before the expansion to 310.By the 15th year of Guangxu (1889), "Huiziying" was already thriving.According to the manuscript submitted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs that year, the number of residents of "Huiziying" at that time had grown from 329 at the time of its inception to about 2000.
