Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Compared with the first two sent letters, Yingluo's thoughts have obviously shifted a bit, and the sorrow of leaving has gradually faded. Fu Heng felt happy and a little sad.It seems that both she and the child are fine, and feel a little at ease.Looking at the situation, I can't go back this month. I can only fight for next month. If I can leave at the end of next month, it will be three months after I get home. In any case, I hope to go back before Yingluo gives birth. Thinking of this, I just feel that Unable to sit still, he put on his cloak, and planned to go for a round of inspection. With busy hands, he felt at ease.

Zhaohui saw that Fu Heng had hardly slept since he came to Yili, and only slept for two or three hours a day, knowing that he could not delay his affairs with the emperor in Beijing, and the emperor loved his brother-in-law very much.He and Fu Heng stayed together in Huijiang for the past three years to fight, and they had a deep friendship, but Fu Heng came this time as an imperial envoy of the emperor, which was different from before.He asked Ah Zheng in private, and he also learned about the affairs of Fu Heng's family, but it took time to implement and adjust the military affairs, so he could only silently cooperate and work together.

The military newspapers to the emperor were all written and distributed by his camp account, and the papers were also written by him. Fu Heng only signed his name, and the emperor's Zhu Zhu was very short, either saying "I got it" or calling him Two conveniences (bian4) should be handled, and only once mentioned that the Military Aircraft Office is busy, and Fu Heng is required to return to Beijing as soon as the work in Yili is over, so he knows that he must also do his best to finish the work here as soon as possible.

At this time, he was standing outside talking to some soldiers bravely. When he saw Fu Heng leading Zatiwei out of the camp gate on horseback, he hurriedly called his followers and immediately got on his horse to follow.

The two went to inspect a camp in the city, and then went to the next one.Seeing a gap, Zhaohui said to him: Brother, everything has been arranged, and the affairs around the emperor cannot be separated from you. How about you ask the emperor to go back as soon as possible, and he will definitely agree. I am still here. Well.Fu Heng shook his head and said with a smile: "I must finish what the emperor told me and go back with you."Zhaohui said: "Brother, I know your good intentions, just ask me to write a booklet to the emperor, take this opportunity to get closer to the emperor, and accept your kindness, so don't blame me for asking Ah Zheng to find out that the lady in front of you has passed away , you are so worried about this new lady, is there any special reason?

Fu Heng shook his head, and said: Fu Heng should be by her side, the emperor...he just wanted to say something that the emperor was worried about, but he swallowed it.Zhao Hui chuckled, and said: When my children were born, I was all leading the troops outside, and my brother, your emperor will definitely take special care of them.Fu Heng nodded with a smile, and said: You just spoke seriously. The general has been guarding the frontier all year round, and he has made great contributions to the court in the battle of leveling. The emperor values ​​you very much, so there is no need for Fu Heng to support him.Zhaohui shook his head and said: "The emperor's power is unpredictable. Although I have not been in the court for many years, I know a lot. I am afraid that you are the only one who knows his thoughts in this civil and military court.Zhaohui's father, Haiwang, used to be the minister of military affairs and the minister in charge of internal affairs. He was a close minister of the emperor and knew the emperor quite well, so Zhaohui also understood the emperor.

After going on like this for more than ten days, the two saw that the big and small affairs had been stabilized, and they got the approval of the emperor's approval today, and they can go back tomorrow.Fu Heng and Zhaohui said that they would go back to answer the order first, and they would leave overnight. Zhaohui would lead the team to Beijing and see you in the capital.Zhaohui knew that he had to return early both in business and in private, so she naturally agreed.Nine days later, Fu Heng and Zatiweazheng rode three riders across the desert and arrived at Huanghuayi on the border of Gansu.

Yingluo was overjoyed when she received the news from Concubine Rong via Lu Wenhong, saying that Fu Heng was on her way home.Counting the days, when he got home, he would be eight months pregnant.That night, I couldn't sleep all the time, so I calculated with Pearl where Fu Heng should go.I just received Fu Heng's last letter from home a few days ago, saying that he will leave Ili tomorrow. It was written before he left Ili. It has been almost [-] days since now. I think it is time for him to go to the Yellow River ferry. , I will write to her on the way, maybe I will receive it tomorrow.

When she finally fell asleep, she had a dream. She dreamed that when Fu Heng was crossing the river, the boat capsized, and he fell into the river in a huge wave, and he was nowhere to be seen.Master!Weeping and crying, I suddenly heard Fu Heng's voice saying: Yingluo, I'm back.Then she was held in his arms.She woke up suddenly, only to realize that she was really in a warm embrace, and Fu Xingxing's bright eyes were looking at her, flickering with joy, and a fresh scent of saponins surrounded her.She thought it was a dream, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and heard Fu Heng say with a smile: "Fool, this is not a dream, I am really back."Then he took her hand and rubbed it against his cheek.

The tentacles were warm, Yingluo looked at the bedside and around the room, the pearl had disappeared, and she believed it completely, hugged him, and said joyfully, "Why so fast!"I count at least five more days for you.Fu Heng lay down on the bed and said, "I'm traveling day and night, and I'll come back to reply to the order in advance."He fell asleep immediately after speaking.

At this time, it was still dark outside, but Ying Luo was no longer sleepy. Seeing that he was bathing and wearing a middle coat, and the black and red concentric knot jade pendant was still hanging around his waist, she untied his belt, took off the tassel jade pendant and put it on Under the pillow, and then gently covered with a thin quilt.Then she leaned into his arms, with her ears pressed against his chest, only listening to the steady beating inside, she felt peaceful and joyful, and shed tears.

Fu Heng hugged her subconsciously in his sleep, and said softly: Ying Luo, you have to wait for me, you must wait for me.Yingluo suddenly understood that this was what he was thinking when he came back day and night to ask to marry her after the great victory in Jinchuan. Not as fast as this time, and this Yujing Garden was also the mansion built for him by the emperor after the Jinchuan War that year, so he felt as if he had been separated from the world, so he responded softly: Young master, Yingluo will always be yours, and will always be here.Then burst into laughter.

This night, Concubine Rong stayed in the emperor's dormitory in Huazitang, she quietly put on her clothes and went to extinguish the requiem incense.

Since she was ordered to move to the Hall of Mental Cultivation about a month ago, she and the emperor have only made out once.At the beginning, the emperor slept very restlessly, so she lit the requiem incense every night, and the emperor usually went to the third watch when he went to bed. She fell asleep early, and before she woke up at dawn, the emperor had already gone to court At the beginning, she got up early to dress the emperor, but the emperor was more used to serving Li Yu, so he saved her from getting up early.

Sometimes she slept all night, only to realize that the emperor didn't come to sleep at all. Only then did she understand how hardworking the emperor was. Hongzhou was right. Li Yu said that after Fu Heng left, the emperor was even busier.So the real meeting between her and him was mostly just a short time during lunch, which was the last time the queen came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to hear it. Later, Desheng went in and returned, and the emperor just nodded and said nothing.

Since she moved to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she lived in the Longxi Pavilion in the east ear room of the apse, which was originally the residence of the queen.Her Hui cook, Nunimat, was also called to serve in the palace, and a separate courtyard was set aside for the Hui kitchen in the royal kitchen dining room.Every day after breakfast, she went to the Shoukang Palace to read scriptures with the Queen Mother, and then sometimes went to the Harmony Department Lu Hongwen to rehearse singing and dancing, sometimes went to the elder brother's office to visit the fifth elder brother, and in the afternoon she would go to the Yonghe Palace to stay with the concubine Fu Kang'an.If the emperor didn't have a banquet and didn't see anyone, she would accompany the emperor for lunch and dinner. After dinner, the emperor sometimes took her to stay in Sanxi hall for a while before going to deal with government affairs.Many nights she stayed alone in the Longxi Hall, except for the emperor who called Li Yu to summon her to sleep in the Huazi Hall.

Since then, the emperor has never set foot in the harem again.Among the newly selected beautiful women, one from Dai Jia from Manchuria with a yellow banner was conferred the honor of Xin, one from Mongolia with a red banner from Bahrain was conferred the honor of Na, and one from Feng was conferred the honor of Ming. .Concubine Rong urged the emperor to go, but the emperor said unhappily: I will go when I want to.Seeing that the emperor favored her so far, Caiyun was relieved, but every time she mentioned it to Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong always laughed and said: Maybe the emperor didn't do it for me.Caiyun really didn't understand what she was talking about.

This night, it was already summer, Concubine Rong saw the bright moonlight pouring in from the window, she opened the window, a gust of night wind came in, a cicada perched on a big tree in the courtyard, calling in a low voice , Concubine Rong watched the moon in the sky passing through the dark clouds, and felt intoxicated, and said in an inaudible voice: How are you?When she went back to sleep again, she saw the emperor's peaceful sleeping face, she couldn't help reaching out to touch his eyebrows, and whispered: "Your Majesty, can you really forget her?"The emperor turned over and stretched out his hand from the quilt. Concubine Rong smiled, put his hand back into the quilt, and sighed in her heart: Shen Bi can't forget, how can I ask you?

At this time, Nalashi was six months pregnant, but she had leaked red and wounded blood in the past month, so the joy pulse was not full, and the imperial hospital had been asking her to take four-flavored soup and fetal birth pill. Can't hide from the emperor.In the early morning of the second day, after receiving the report from the Imperial Hospital and still not seeing any significant improvement, the emperor immediately went to Chengqian Palace to visit the queen.The emperor has not come to the harem for a long time, and Nala is very happy.Seeing that Nala's complexion was pale, the emperor asked her how she was feeling. Nala only said that she didn't feel anything and asked him to rest assured.The emperor looked at her and said: "It's my intention that Shen Bi lives in the east room of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. I have many things to do and the road is far away. I don't want to go to Baoyue Tower."

Nala hurriedly said: Your Majesty, whoever you want to serve and love depends entirely on your will, how could your concubines have any objections.And the concubine knows that you are often too busy to sleep at night, so you must pay attention to your body.The concubine's pregnancy has not been going well, there was once a few months ago when she saw the red, but it stopped soon, and the emperor was not alarmed, so you and the queen mother are not worried.The concubines are the lords of the six palaces, the emperor has so many concubines, and the concubines can't serve the emperor now, how could they have such a narrow mind.At the beginning of the year, the concubine said that the concubine Rong will serve you, so the concubine can rest assured.The new nobles who entered the draft are very young and have no time to pamper them. The emperor should go and see them first when he has time, lest they have doubts.

The emperor nodded and said: Don't think about it, I will figure it out.Is Concubine Shu still capable of doing things?Nala said: "The concubine asked Yuan Chunwang to help her. If it is a big matter, the concubine will decide. Everything in the harem has been peaceful in the past two months, don't worry."The emperor nodded again, and said: After the incident in Nanyuan, the harem was orderly. It is indeed the empress who did the work. I think it is very good.Nala hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be appreciated by the emperor, this is the job of a concubine."

The emperor asked again: Has Fujin from Hongzhou visited you recently?Now her daughter is being raised in the Shoukang Palace by the Queen Mother, the Queen likes it very much, if she comes to visit you, she will say that it is my intention, and she can drop by the Shoukang Palace to have a look.Nala hurriedly said: The concubine thanked her on her behalf. She was busy with family affairs, and first went to Hubei with the prince to do business. After returning from Hubei, they invited a newcomer to hold a wedding. So she has not been here for a long time. The concubine asked someone to send a message to her. She and the prince He and the prince will be very grateful for the emperor's grace.

After the emperor came back from Chengqian Palace, he secretly summoned Ye Tianshi to inquire about the queen's situation. Ye Tianshi said: "Even if I want to lose my head, I dare not lie to the emperor. At that age, the four-flavored soup and Jindan can only be eaten to let you eat." It's just peace of mind, Xiahong can only stop by himself, maybe it will stop tomorrow, maybe it will not stop... After this birth, the empress must never meet again, the body is important, and if the minister says something that will lose his head, the emperor What will happen to your body in the future is also related to your body.

After Ye Tianshi left, the emperor asked Li Yu if there was any news about Mrs. Wei from the Old Summer Palace recently. Li Yu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty Yilu went back and forth two days ago and said that Mrs. Wei's food is delicious, her pulse is good and her fetus is stable, and she is in good health. Your Majesty The things she learned have also improved, the Pope can rest assured.Lord Yilu also asked the emperor, it's summer, when will you move to Yuanmingyuan?

While the emperor was meditating, Desheng came in to play the report, saying that Mr. Fu Heng had arrived at home at four o'clock last night. This was sent by Yujingyuan to the emperor on the way.He was on his way in the starry night, Mrs. Nalan asked the emperor to allow him to rest for two days before returning to court.The emperor was very happy and said: "Great!"Fu Heng is back!You tell someone to go back and tell Mrs. Nalan, just tell him what I mean, no matter how many days, tell him to rest and come back again.Desheng agreed to go, and Li Yu hurriedly handed over Fu Heng's brochure.The emperor opened it and saw that it read:

Minister of Military Aircraft Fu Heng kneels

please

emperor saint anne

The servant and General Zhaohui were ordered to rectify the two routes of military affairs in the Tianshan Mountains. Knowing that the emperor hoped that the servant would return to Beijing to handle important military affairs, he returned home as soon as the Yili affairs were completed.Summarize the shortcomings of Junggar's military affairs and suggestions for rectification results:

Yili is located in the frontier, with different living habits and language barriers. Most soldiers in the Central Plains are unwilling to stay permanently, so the imperial court should recruit troops on the spot.The winter is long, the dripping water turns into ice, and the life of the Hui people is difficult. The imperial court should increase the pension of the soldiers, so that it is easy to recruit local soldiers.

……

The terrain on the two roads of Ertian Mountain is dangerous, the fortresses are scattered, and the weather is harsh. The court should establish effective reporting methods.

……

Three, all the defenders have been organized into four roads, east, west, south, and north, respectively guarding the north and south roads of Tianshan Mountain. It is recommended that the court appoint competent personnel as General Yili to take charge of these four roads and build eight garrisoned banners.

……

Fourth, eight major military orders have been issued, and the garrison must have strict military discipline, and it is strictly forbidden to harass the people.

……

Compared with Kazakh horses, Wuyili horses can be used as light war horses. The imperial court should investigate and compare them in detail before breeding and selecting them.

……

The six dynasties should set up garrison farms. When there is no war, the army and the people will jointly cultivate wasteland and collect grain, so the court can save part of the supply of military supplies in wartime.

……

After the Seventh World War, Yili was devastated, and the life of the Hui people became even more difficult. The amount and strength of the imperial government's appropriation were not enough. If things go on like this, the society will be restless, which will lead to riots among the people.

……

In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, the imperial court should increase the intensity of education, and the education should match the customs and habits of the local Hui people.On the major festival days of Hui people, the imperial court should hold celebration activities to reflect the importance the imperial court attaches to Hui Xinjiang.

……

Nine Huijiang is adjacent to Tibet, and the imperial court attaches great importance to Tibetan affairs. The aristocrats and princes of Huijiang inevitably have doubts. The situation in Tibet is different from that of Huijiang.

……

The ten imperial courts regularly sent supervisory envoys to Yili to supervise military affairs and civil affairs.

……

General Zhaohui returned to Xinjiang, and when he arrived in Beijing, the slaves asked the emperor to listen to his opinions.A total of ten snow lotuses were collected in Tianshan Mountains, and General Zhaohui brought back several folk incense makers for consideration by the emperor. A special government office was set up in Yili to supervise the protection, collection and transportation of snow lotuses.
