Chapter 70 (10) Men are the least things

Before his death, Yongzheng learned the lessons of Kangxi's establishment of a reserve and established a secret reserve system.Write the name of the next emperor on the secret edict in advance, seal it in a box, and place it behind a plaque in the middle of the Qianqing Palace. On the plaque are written four characters: Upright and Bright. It must be said that Yongzheng's move was extremely sinister, because the name of the crown prince had already been written on the secret edict, but it was not publicized, so none of the princes knew who was written on the secret edict, what if it was himself?If you can't wait to make a fuss, wouldn't it be a chicken-and-egg fight?

The secret reserve system completely solved the historical process of the struggle between the princes of the Qing Dynasty, making the subsequent history suddenly difficult to look at.But the uglier ones are the old ministers Zhang Tingyu, Ertai and others.These two poor old brothers were rushing wildly through the palace on mules, for fear that some bastard would open the box first, and there would be a big mess.Fortunately, this did not happen. I took off the secret edict from the plaque and opened it to see, huh, huh, it said that the fourth son of the emperor, Hongli, should succeed to the throne.

This seat should be handed over to Hongli. Probably because under Hongli, there were only two younger brothers, Hongzhou and Hongzhan. Among them, Hongzhou's mental state was relatively abnormal. Since his birth, this person was only busy with one thing--holding his own funeral. According to history books, Hongli's elder brother, Hongzhou, held a funeral for himself every day, and made people lie down in front of his coffin and cry bitterly, while his elder brother squatted on the sacrificial table and gnawed on the sacrifices like a mouse. It is obvious that Hong Zhou regards himself as a dead person, or in other words, this child has a kind of obsessive pursuit of death.But what kind of reason got him like this, this matter is strange and inexplicable.

In fact, this Hong Zhou was the fifth son of the emperor, and Hongli, the fourth son of the emperor, succeeded him.The other three eldest princes were born by Nian Gengyao's younger sister, but these three children were destined to be unlucky and died shortly after they were born.The three sons died, and Nian died of grief.Nian's death made his elder brother Nian Gengyao's death even uglier. The eldest, the second and the third are all dead. Fortunately, Niu Hulu, the daughter of the fourth-rank ceremonial official Ling Zhu, came to the palace and gave birth to the fourth son Hongli for Yongzheng.Hongli is the famous Emperor Qianlong in history, and his mother, Niu Hulu, is also great.One year, the Niu Hulu clan and his son Qianlong went on a tour. When they arrived in Shandong, a catastrophe happened, and the victims pleaded for relief. However, Yan Xishen, the prefect of Jining, was on a business trip and no one was in charge of the relief work.At this time, Yan Xishen's mother, Mrs. He, came out and said: "Although my son is a magistrate, he has no orders from the emperor. If I open the treasury to relieve disasters, I will be executed according to the law."But how can I watch the victims starve to death?Today I decided to open the grain depot to feed the hungry people... Mrs. He was good at opening the grain depot to relieve the victims.This matter was quickly reported to Qianlong: Report, it's terrible, there is an old lady He who opened the grain storehouse.

Qianlong asked Niu Hulu at that time: Er Niang, do you think it is appropriate for us to kill this old lady He?This old lady is so courageous that she dared to open the grain depot, which is not bad! Niu Hulu said: "Slay your mother!"Hurry up and pass the decree, let Mrs. He come to our dragon boat and play cards with me. Mrs. He, who is good at opening the grain depot, was invited to the dragon boat. Niu Hulu smiled and said to her: Mrs. He, you have done a good job in this matter. You can't listen to men in everything.Men are things, the most fucking thing is not a thing.Look at the mess in this world, isn't it all messed up by men?By the way, Mrs. He, who is your son?

Mrs. He said: Empress Dowager, my son is a small magistrate. Niu Hulu got angry: What are you kidding?Such a mother puts her own life aside, and cares about the livelihood of the people in the world. She would rather die and donate food for disaster relief. How can the son taught by such a mother be a small magistrate?What about Hongli?Come here, and immediately draw up an order to promote Mrs. He's son. Qianlong said awkwardly: Er Niang, don't interfere with the appointment of public officials in this country. Niu Hulu was furious: Fuck your mother, am I still your mother?Are you born of me?

Qianlong: ... Well, well, depending on you, depending on you, everything depends on you. So Yan Xishen, the little magistrate, turned around, and a guy was promoted to the governor of Henan. Mrs. Niu Hulu showed his power, and Mrs. He received fair political treatment. This is evidenced by the Qing Palace Ci: The cheap hair millet is Yang Ren, when will the Yan woman be white and simple? Fengzhou was suspended under Wen Zhao, and Zhongguan Xuanjin entered Mrs. Tai. From this matter, it seems that Emperor Qianlong's mother is relatively normal.Obviously it was for this reason that Yongzheng chose him as the next emperor of the empire.

But the biological mother of the fifth son, Hong Zhou, is a little... a little too romantic.
