Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Hong Zhou had already had a few sips of tea, seeing this scene, he felt happy, and said to Wu Zaku: Deya, hello, what title do you want to give her?Wu Zaku said with a smile: "My lord, Hai'an was originally my girl. Since the lord likes it, I naturally give it up to the lord, but the lord can't neglect her. In my opinion, how about giving her a side Fujin?"Hongzhou smiled all over his face, and said: Okay, why don't you thank Fujin for your kindness?Hai'an then kowtowed to Wu Zaku's family.Hong Zhou ate breakfast leisurely before dressing and going to the palace.

Wu Zaku asked someone to tidy up a courtyard for Hai'an, and asked her to settle down by herself.Hai'an knelt down again and said: Fujin, the lord must have a slave last night, the slave really can't do anything... the slave is sorry for the master.Wu Zaku's heart softened, he pulled her up, and said: "You are by my side, it will be a matter of time, I know the prince's temper best, and I don't blame you."

After Hai'an left, Mrs. Wu Zaku went to the dining room, sent everyone away, and quietly ordered the steward.When the steward heard this, he was taken aback, and said: "Well, if the lord knows this, I'm afraid the villain will lose his head."Wu Zaku said coldly: If you are disobedient, you will die now!The steward said hurriedly: Yes.Tong Hai'an was originally Fujin's dowry, so you can naturally be the master.

When Hongzhou arrived at the military plane, it was already past time, and there was no one there, so he went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Seeing him coming, Li Yu hurriedly said: "My lord, something is wrong. The White Lotus Sect in Hubei has caused something serious. The emperor called all the adults to discuss it all morning. Why did you come here?"Hong Zhou was taken aback when he heard the words, and thought, why no one repayed him, so he went directly to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and was about to ask Li Yu, when Liu Tongxun came out, and when he saw Hong Zhou, he said, "My lord, come in quickly!"Yesterday the emperor had personally dispatched troops to Wuchang, and now he is discussing this matter.As he said that, he hurried back in again, it seems that he came out to see if Hong Zhou had come by order, since Hong Zhou had arrived, he saved himself and ran back to the military plane.Hong Zhou had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

He went in and saw other people standing in a row, replying to the emperor's words, so he cupped his hands and said to the emperor: "Brother Huang, I have a headache this morning, so I came late, no wonder Brother Huang."The emperor glanced at him, nodded, and continued talking to the others.Hong Zhou then stood at the end, listened for a while, and knew that the emperor had not yet appointed a supervisor for this matter, and the others were divided into two factions, one advocated forceful suppression, and the other advocated differentiation to induce surrender.Taking advantage of the gap when no one was speaking, he immediately knelt down and asked for Ying: "Brother Emperor, the matter of the White Lotus Sect has always been handled by my younger brother. Now that there is such a disturbance in Hubei, Hong Zhou cannot absolve himself of the blame. Please let my younger brother handle the affairs of the White Lotus Sect." In order to make amends, I personally went to Wuchang to sit in the town to deal with it.

The emperor looked at him, looked at him for a while, and said: "That's fine, don't bother the two masters with one thing, you first draw up your plan and show me, the soldiers have already been dispatched, and you can go tomorrow without delay."Hong Zhou said: "My brother obeys the order."When everyone left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Hong Zhou deliberately stayed to talk to Li Yu, asked about the situation, thought about it, and went back to the emperor.He said to him: "Brother Emperor, according to my ministers, the chaos in Hubei is strange. During the Lantern Festival, the plan of Xia Lin and others in Xiangyang was reported to us, and my ministers have already ordered many of their leaders to be captured. But for more than a month, how could the White Lotus Sect make a big fuss in Hubei?Could it be that the subpoena is fraudulent?

The emperor looked at him and said, "I'm afraid it's you who take people hard on the Lantern Festival, right?"Hongzhou was taken aback, and suddenly remembered what Fu Heng had said to him, and saw that the emperor really intended to give himself the title of turmoil, and he knelt down and said, "Brother Emperor, all the ministers are doing things according to your orders." , the people below may not know the seriousness, and wait for the younger brother to find out before going back and forth.

The emperor said slowly: You don't have to go, first tell me what happened to the monks in Biyun Temple in Xiangshan Mountain?Hong Zhou was startled again, what monk?Just now Li Yu only told him outside that the emperor received the expedited [-] Li on the way to Xiangshan, and knowing about the turmoil of the White Lotus Sect in Hubei, he immediately ordered Shuo Se, the governor of Huguang, and Yin Jishan, the governor of Liangjiang, to be on standby Soon, the armaments of the surrounding provinces went to support, and he terminated the trip to Xiangshan and returned to the Forbidden City immediately.So let alone him in Beijing, none of the senior officials of the Eight Banners who drank at his house that day knew about it.Only then did he understand why the emperor turned back suddenly. Seeing the emperor asking, he had no choice but to say that he had no knowledge of the monks in Biyun Temple and asked the emperor to clarify.

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "Hong Zhou, you are late even though you know that I have an early court today, do you no longer take me seriously?"Hong Zhou knelt down with a thump and said: Brother Huang, calm down, Hong Zhou really woke up late this morning with a headache, and he definitely didn't mean to be late.The emperor sighed, and told about the plan of the six monks in Biyun Temple to assassinate him, but he didn't mention Fu Heng at all.

Hong Zhou was even more startled when he heard it, and asked: Brother Huang, since you didn't go to Biyun Temple, how did you know about it?The emperor then told Lu Yong, who was guarding the Hubei guard who came to report the news, that he met Lu Yong on the way. Zhou Dao: Only a few of you know that I am going to Xiangshan on this trip. Who leaked the news?Hong Zhou was startled again, thinking: Fu Heng asked for leave to leave the city and did not return, he didn't know about the emperor's temporary trip, and there were only these few people in the military aircraft department, the emperor seemed to be suspicious of himself, this matter was no small matter.Cold sweat broke out all over his back immediately, and he was speechless for a while.

The emperor said slowly: "Hong Zhou, I don't have any other intentions. The matter of the White Lotus Sect is your responsibility. If you do this, all the suburbs of Hubei and Beijing will rise up. How do you want me to explain to other people?"Hong Zhou immediately said: Thank you, Brother Huang, for believing in my younger brother!Since those monks have been lurking in Biyun Temple for a long time, this time they rushed to nothing, they will definitely not let it go, according to my brother, let's come to catch the girl, and see if they really dare to come to nourish their hearts temple!The emperor smiled and said: This time you and I want to go together.I have ordered people to spy on them secretly. They are so bold that they are still stranded in Biyun Temple.In my opinion, sooner or later I will come here if I can't bear my temper. I have already sent Hailancha, so it's important that you get things done in Hubei first!

At this time, Yingluo and Fu Heng's carriage was in Haizi, Nanyuan. They did not go back to Beijing with the emperor yesterday, but went south here by order to arrange the emperor and his elder brothers to try hunting one step ahead. In Nanhongmen Palace in Nanyuan.Early this morning, Fu Heng took Yingluo to a spring stream in the palace. Yingluo was very happy to see clusters of small white flowers blooming by the stream, in a piece of slender and soft green, like stars dotted, and said to Fu Heng. : This is a shepherd's purse flower. When my sister was at home when I was young, we often went outing in the countryside and saw this flower.Said squatting down to pick.Fu Heng was afraid that she would fall, so he took her other hand, and she looked back and smiled: It's okay!It's still early!Where is the tension like this.

Then the two found two nearby stones and sat down by the stream, while Yingluo was tending the flowers in her hand, she said: "The emperor didn't tell you to go back immediately, because he wanted to save Hong Zhou some face?"Fu Heng smiled and said nothing.Yingluo frowned and said: Unexpectedly, the emperor is really kind to him.There was such a big disturbance in Hubei, and the emperor still protected him.Young master, what do you think will happen to those monks in Biyun Temple?

Fu Hengdao: It would be best if they left. If they didn't leave, if I were the emperor, I would just monitor them to see who they contacted and what follow-up actions they would take, so they will be fine for the time being.Yingluo was surprised and said: Didn't you say that the emperor taught Hai Lancha to arrest someone?Fu Hengdao: "That's for me and Concubine Rong, what's the use of these people's orders to the emperor?"Yingluo suddenly realized: No wonder you were not worried at all the day before yesterday.Fu Heng smiled again: Maybe these people will really come to the Forbidden City.Yingluo was surprised and said: Da Nei is heavily guarded, are they really desperate? !

Fu Hengdao: Since these people have this thought, they don't want to go back alive.Yingluo looked at the vast and deep field, and said: Next time we should bring Chasing Feng and them to play here.Then he turned his head to look at Fu Heng, and said, "Young master, is this world really worth fighting for, and is it worth so many bloodshed and sacrifices?"Fu Heng thought for a while, then said softly: No matter who sits on the dragon chair, whether it is a Manchu, a Han, or a Mongol, there will always be people who are dissatisfied.Yingluo said: I only hope that there will be no wars in the world, and that the common people can live and work in peace and contentment.He closed his eyes and prayed.Fu Heng saw her long eyelashes trembling slightly behind the white flowers, the faint fragrance of the flowers was faintly discernible, and the sound of the gurgling stream was next to his ears, and his heart moved.

They stayed in the palace for another two days, and on the day they returned to Yujing Garden, Fu Heng resumed his evening meeting with the emperor.After dinner, Fu Heng told Yingluo that the situation in Hubei had been brought under control, and Hong Zhou had already arrived in Wuchang Mansion to sit in battle, so there was no need to worry about Shuo Se and Elder Yin.Yingluo frowned and said: I don't know how many people died.Fu Hengdao: During the Lantern Festival, the White Lotus Sect in Hubei planned to raise an issue, and they didn't want to leak the secrets. Hong Zhou's people killed four or five leaders of the White Lotus Sect there at once, and the conflict intensified. This time, after the turmoil subsides, Hong Zhou should stop for a while.

Yingluo asked: What does the emperor mean?Fu Hengdao: The imperial court feels a headache for the White Lotus Sect. Since Hong Zhou was sent to this post, the imperial court has intensified its killings in the past two years, and the White Lotus Sect has basically turned to underground activities. My worry is that it is counterproductive. The turmoil in Hubei this time It is one example, but the monks of Biyun Temple are another, and the hidden forces of the White Lotus Sect in Anhui, Zhejiang and Anhui should not be underestimated.Yingluo nodded.

Fu Heng suddenly embraced her in his arms and said: Yingluo, the emperor wants me to go to Junggar to rectify military affairs.Yingluo was very surprised, her heart sank, and she asked: When?Fu Hengdao: After the hunting trial in Nanyuan, we will set off.Yingluo knew that the fighting in Junggar had stopped early, but after all, it was far away in the frontier, and it was a newly recovered land, so it was not stable, so she couldn't help worrying.Knowing her worry, Fu Heng said: "Don't worry, General Zhaohui and his troops are still there, they are safe and sound. After finishing this mission, the emperor asked me to come back with him."Yingluo asked: How long will it take?

Fu Hengdao: I don't know either. It can take as little as one month, plus the back and forth, it will take more than two months, and at most... half a year.Yingluo blurted out: Half a year? !The baby is born!Fu Heng hugged her tightly and didn't speak.After a while, Yingluo said: "Master, don't worry, I'm fine, the baby and I will be safe and sound."Fu Heng stroked her hair and said: Yingluo, thank you, you marry me, you often do this, you have to stay at home alone, I'm sorry.Yingluo shook her head and said: I understand, young master, don't worry about me, I'll get used to it gradually.

Fu Heng said in a low voice: But we have only been together for less than half a year... And you need someone to accompany you very much... The love in Yingluo's heart surged up again, she patted Fu Heng, and said: Master, Yingluo is not from Changchun Palace Little palace lady, Yingluo is Mrs. Zhongyong now, really don’t worry, the baby has moved more these two days, you are gone, I have him with me, I don’t feel lonely, and sister Haizhu is taking care of her Me, you can really rest assured.Fu Hengdao: Well, but what if it really takes half a year...

Yingluo smiled and said: No, the young master is so capable, he will definitely be back in two months, if it is really half a year, there are still sisters-in-law, second sister-in-law, Er Niang, Doctor Ye, so many people at home, and... Your Majesty, Yingluo will be safe and sound , the baby will be safe and sound.Fu Heng hummed lightly, but did not speak.Seeing that he was depressed, Yingluo knew that he was very reluctant to part with him, and she also felt very reluctant to part with him when he thought of his upcoming long journey.So she held his head, stuck it in her arms, stroked it gently, and her eyes gradually became moist.

Afterwards, Fu Heng remained silent.After going to bed, Yingluo saw that his eyes were closed and he was still silent, so she asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"You really don't have to worry about Yingluo and the child.Fu Heng shook his head, a tear welled up from the corner of his eye.Yingluo wiped it off for him, and said with a smile: "Idiot, what are you thinking?"You see, all the theaters at home have started work, and Master Lu has also found a few teams to watch. When you come back, you will definitely be able to sing.Fu Heng still didn't open his eyes and didn't speak.Yingluo felt a pain in her heart, she hugged his head again, and said, "Master, what's wrong with you?"After a long time, Fu Hengcai said: Yingluo, let's not mention... him, okay?

Only then did Yingluo suddenly realize that she had mentioned the word "Emperor" earlier, and he was doing it for that reason.So she chuckled and said: Do you suspect that he deliberately asked you to leave?Fu Heng shook his head, still closed his eyes, and said: I just don't want to mention him when I'm talking about you and me, and I don't want to mention him when we are about to separate.

Yingluo thought to herself: It seems that he didn't want to listen to the mention of singing on the stage at home just now... Smiling and holding his head in his arms, he said: "Okay, it's Yingluo's fault, Yingluo didn't mention it."Only then did Fu Heng reach out to hug her, and put his head in her arms.Yingluo thought to herself: It turns out that the thorn in his heart is always there. He told himself a long time ago that he just didn't care about it.For a moment, I felt extremely proud and sweet, so I kissed the top of his head.

After Hong Zhou came back from the Hall of Mental Cultivation that night, he stayed in the Hai'an Courtyard for another night, and set off for Hubei the next day.Tong Hai'an asked Wu Deya to let her come back to serve in the main room.Wu Deya was very unhappy, and said to her: Hai'an, now you are the side Fujin in this mansion, I don't want the prince to come back, say that I neglected you, but I am willing, you know those two people, wait for the prince to come back , must be going to say.Hai'an knew very well that Wu Deya was hating himself, so he knelt down and said: Fujin, Hai'an knows I'm sorry for you, but Hai'an has been serving you for many years, and he is used to it. Hai'an.

Seeing that she has been calling herself Fujin for the past two days and has never changed her words, Deya softened her heart and said: Hai'an, in fact, I will give you to the prince sooner or later, but it happened suddenly... Hai'an said: Thank you, Fujin Good intentions, Hai'an never thought anything out of the ordinary.The prince is just trying to show me something new, and I think the prince treats me as someone else.Deya's heart moved, her thoughts changed, she pulled her up, and said: Hai'an, you listen to me, serving the prince well is equivalent to doing good for me.

Hai'an looked at her and understood that she wanted to help her deal with those two women, so he nodded with a smile and said: Actually, Fujin doesn't need to worry at all, none of them have children.Wu Deya just smiled, didn't speak, thinking in her mind: I don't know why Hongzhou thinks she looks like...not at all, neither in appearance nor temperament.But it seems that as long as Hai'an is around, Hong Zhou can definitely be told not to take concubines anymore, and Hai'an is his own.

As soon as the words fell, the housekeeper hurried in and said that the imperial decree had arrived, Xiao Gege, who was only two years old, would enter the Shoukang Palace to be raised by the Queen Mother, and three days later he would be sent to the palace through the Donghua Gate.When Hong Zhou came back from the palace that day, he told her that it was the empress dowager's intention, and that she had been happy and sad these days.Hearing this, Hai'an hurriedly knelt down and said: Congratulations to Fujin, congratulations to Little Gege.

The author has something to say:

[Historical prototype] Sichuan and Chu religion chaos.In the early Qing Dynasty, because life was relatively stable, the White Lotus Sect did not cause any big disturbances.Until the late Qianlong period, there were a large number of refugees in Sichuan, Gansu and other places.These people had no food to eat and no land to live in. Many wore tattered clothes and tried to survive in the vast mountains, which eventually led to the large-scale White Lotus Sect uprising that began in the first year of Jiaqing (1796).It took nine years before and after the Qing Dynasty to quell this chaos, which is the so-called [Chuanchu Religious Rebellion].The cause of the Sichuan-Chu Rebellion was the 59th year of Qianlong (1794). Qi Lin, Wang Cong'er, Song Zhiqing, and Fan Xueming, the leaders of the Bailian Sect in the Xiangyang area, planned to take advantage of the government's lack of vigilance during the Lantern Festival. Qi Lin, Song Zhiqing and others were brutally killed.Only Qi Lin's wife Wang Cong'er and Liu Zhixie survived.The Sichuan-Chu Religious Rebellion happened in the early years of Jiaqing, and the novel was written about the prosperity of Qianlong, only referring to the background of the incident.

In the 21st year of Qianlong, the governor of Huguang was Shuose, and the governor of Liangjiang was Yin Jishan.Among the provincial officials at that time, there were two levels of official positions, one was the governor, and the other was the governor.They are collectively referred to as "supervisors", and they can be regarded as high-ranking officials in the frontier. They have no administrative affiliation, and they are directly responsible to the emperor and obey the emperor's orders.The difference is that the governor-general often governs the administrative, economic, and military powers of several provinces, while the governor generally governs the administrative, economic, and military powers of a province.Due to the heavy power of governors and governors, in the early Qing Dynasty, governors were generally held by Manchus.Lin Zexu was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi during the Daoguang period.In the late Qing Dynasty, figures from the Xiang family, represented by Zeng Guofan, were active in the political arena and controlled most of the governorships in the country, while the Manchu governors became a minority.

Yin Jishan was a famous official in the Qianlong Dynasty and the son of Yin Tai, a veteran minister of the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties.In the 13th year of Qianlong (1748), he served as the co-organizer of the University, the University of Wenhuadian and the Minister of Military Aircraft, and he was added as the Prince and Taibao.Eight governors, served as governor of Liangjiang three times for more than 38 years. He was only 11 years old when he first took office, and was called "Xiao Yin"; he served as governor of Liangjiang for 36 years for the fourth time.Yin Jishan especially regards Jiangnan as his hometown. He handles things fairly and does not kill people recklessly.He died in April of Xinmao in the 1771th year of Qianlong ([-]).Gift to Taibao, posthumous posthumous title Wenduan.

The emperor asked Yin Jishan to serve in the southeast all year round, instead of being transferred as frequently as the general governors at that time, because he studied hard, devoted himself to the study of Han culture with Confucianism as the core, rewarded the romantic, and "loved talents like fate".He was a close friend of the great poet Yuan Mei. At that time, Jishan's shogunate recruited talents, who had a great reputation and won the hearts of scholars.He is Qianlong's in-laws, and his concubine's daughter is the eighth elder brother Yongxuan, the first wife of Fujin, which shows his important position in the court.Shuose was also an important minister. He succeeded Yin Jishan as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi two years before he became the governor of Huguang in the 20th year of Qianlong.
