Chapter 12 The twelfth round of Ning Xingchen's tour guide in Yuanmingyuan Congcha's main defense against the Forbidden City

Qianlong just came back from the imperial garden. He practiced in Buku, shot arrows and played a set of Taijiquan. He was dressed in aquamarine river silk cotton robe, ash green cotton gauze gown, and no satin crown. Wang Ren braided his hair carefully, knelt down on the ground and dexterously tied gold-inlaid turquoise thread buttons for him.There was silence in the hall. He heard He Shen's footsteps and the voice of asking for peace, Qianlong turned his head and said with a smile: "You came in first? Yu Minzhong was busy with A Gui at the military aircraft department last night, and I sent an order to let him sleep for a while , I just enjoyed two bowls of hot milk and went over here. Just wait for him here, and he will come in in a while." He Shen felt a slight jealousy in his heart, and said with a shameless smile: "The master is so considerate of his ministers. Sleeping, at the age of Minzhong and the servant, it doesn’t matter. The servant wrote ten letters to the Yamen of the Yandao Transport and Customs Governor Hedu’s Yamen last night. , thinking about mundane and elegant affairs in a hurry, and thinking about so many things in the garden, I didn't sleep because of the mess!"

Qianlong listened with a smile, and called: "Give Heshen a bowl of milk to show fairness!" "Has Lafayette woke up? You came just in time. I'm going to the Old Summer Palace today, and I'll take some of their ministers there. I need to pay her respects to the old man later. What is Lafayette's order?" "No——no." Qin Meimei bent her back, raised her head with a dry smile, and said, "Long Live Lord didn't go there last night, Lafayette was thinking about it, and asked the servant to come and see the master——Master looks good, so Lafayette is relieved ..." He Shen took small bites of the milk, he saw Qin Meimei's eyes wandering in confusion, a bit like a frightened rabbit, with a dazed face, forced a smile, spoke and blinked, and thought it was a bit funny.Qianlong didn't pay attention, waved his hand and said: "Go!" Qin Meimei was stunned for a moment, swallowed what she wanted to say, hit Qian'er, kowtowed her head and retreated.

Holding half a bowl of milk, He Shen watched Qin Meimei retreat strangely, turned around with a smile and was about to speak, but Qianlong asked, "Have you read the replay of Li Shiyao's case by the governors of various provinces?" He Shen quickly suppressed his smile, Putting down the bowl, he replied solemnly: "I have only read the abbreviations, and haven't had time to read the main text. As far as I know, only Anhui governor Min Eyuan advocated leniency to wait for death and refused to make a decision. He also followed the example of the Eight Proposals, but The servant did not see the original text."

"I have already read his memorials." Qianlong said, "According to what you said before, it seems that you also advocate leniency?" "Yes." He Shen straightened up on his knees, meeting Qianlong's gaze, "Li Shiyao is not a habitual offender, but an accidental mistake. The Eight Discussions are also a common practice in the family law of our ancestors. It doesn't matter. What matters is that Li Shiyao is indeed a capable member Officials, there is no one better in maintaining peace and arresting thieves. Staying is beneficial to the court, and the court is also short of such talents now."

Qianlong glanced at He Shen without saying a word, and said in silence for a moment: "One hundred thousand taels of embezzlement is attempted, he has the intention to be punished, and receiving three hundred taels of gold on a birthday is also a punishable act!" "Yes, what the emperor said is true!" He Shen said with a low eyebrow, "for this reason, the prisoner was changed to behead, which is enough to show my emperor's purpose of lenient government. I just killed Guotai and deposed Ji Yun. , the officialdom has already been intimidated, so we can use this to appease a little. Li Shiyao has a little heart, and he will definitely change his mind and work hard to curry favor with his errands. There is an example of Guo Xiu in the previous dynasty, and Lu Zhuo in this dynasty. The heart of the ancestors is the heart."

This is really a very thorough insight. He Shen exhausted his wits and thought carefully.Qianlong knew that Heshen Yu Minzhong had a rift with Li Shiyao. Seeing that he saved Li Shiyao from death with sincerity, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, stared at him for a long time, and sighed: "You are telling the truth. Liu Yong has nothing to do with it at all. Yu Minzhong advocated severe punishment, and he spoke the truth. I am happy if you are willing to do this to the king." Seeing Yu Minzhong coming in, "——you are here? Sit with He Shen , talking about Li Shiyao!"

"The minister has heard He Shen's performance." Yu Minzhong and He Shen sat side by side on the couch, and without looking at He Shen, he just bowed to Qianlong and said, "Now that the Ministry of Punishment is out of prison, there is a saying that 'saving life is not saving death' Li Shiyao was not only greedy, but he was in the Yunnan Copper Regulatory Department. He killed copper mine workers arbitrarily. Min Eyuan didn't know whether he was confused or was instigated by someone, so he cleverly said that he was benevolent, and Li Shiyao was excused. His heart is no different from that of the stubborn old official of the Ministry of Punishment."

He glanced at He Shen when he said "instigated by others", and He Shen already felt that he was just listening and staring ahead with a smile on his face.Qianlong had made up his mind, but he didn't want to refute Yu Minzhong's memorial anymore, and said with a smile: "Li Daiyao has a reason for the crime of murder, so you and He Kun are both right. People who can be killed or not, I will be lenient." I am in politics, so I am not wrong. We are going to the garden, and there is still a long way to go. If Minzhong has something to say, how about playing it when we come back?" Speaking of this, Yu Minzhong knew that he had left enough for himself. For the sake of dignity, it is not appropriate to talk about people who are annoying, so he quickly bowed his head and said: "I have no feud with Li Shiyao, and I don't want to kill him quickly. 'Government with leniency' is the purpose of the emperor's great policy. Leniency can stabilize the floating people in the officialdom. , this level of officials did not consider it." Qianlong nodded with a smile and did not speak again.Wang Lian and the eunuchs hurriedly withdrew first to prepare their cars.Because Qianlong didn't want to publicize, a group of people went out from Shenwumen and rushed westward.

After not leaving the Forbidden City for a long time, Qianlong, who had been huddled in the palace all winter, came outside the city, and the slightly cool breeze swept in through the car curtains, and immediately felt refreshed all over his body.Wang Lian saw him looking outside with his face tilted, and saw him touch the cup, knowing that he was thirsty, he hurriedly took the silver bottle and poured water, drew up the curtains on both sides, and said with a smile: "The Forbidden City is good, and it is a good scene. The scenery outside is beautiful! Look, master, how wonderful the peach blossoms are, how wonderful the willows are! How wonderful the water is! It’s so wonderful..."

Qianlong waved his hand slightly, stopped him from saying "how wonderful", looking out from the car curtain, on the right is Jingshan Mountain, like a green screen with overlapping peaks, full of fresh green flowers dotted with colorful flowers, on the left is the Yuhe River in the outer city, the bank Thousands of willows and willows are swaying in the wind, and geese and ducks are patrolling in blue waves in the water, making the red walls and yellow tiles of the palaces and pavilions on the opposite bank into a mess.In the northwest of Jingshan Mountain, there is an open area. Looking far away from the slightly fluctuating sedan chair, the sun reflects the lakes and the water is clear. The pear blossoms are in full bloom. It is as pleasant as refreshing the spleen and entering the organs.Seeing Heshen and Yu Minzhong riding horses and bridles beside the sedan chair, both of them appeared to be in high spirits, looking at the surrounding scenery intently, Qianlong smiled and asked, "Didn't Heshen say that he wanted to 'be elegant'?" ? How would you describe the scene in front of you?"

"Ah, master..." He Shen couldn't prevent Qianlong from talking to himself through the car window, and he was stunned and hurriedly apologized, "Where is it so elegant at the moment? The slave is working hard! Hmm... the mountains and the lake are reflected together, The singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers are the same—does the emperor think so?" Qianlong laughed and said, "This is performed by using the sentences in "Preface to the Knee King's Pavilion"." Yu Minzhong said with a smile: "This is hard for He Kun. Actually There is a large copy of ancient and modern articles, and it seems that the copy is not good. Geng Xin's "falling flowers and green covers fly together, and the willows and green flags are the same color" also refers to the spring scenery, and Wang Bo's "falling clouds and autumn water" is also translated from here. Today There is also Heshen, which can be regarded as a reflection of the front and back." Heshen smiled and said: "Min Gong really reads all books! How do I know so many? The ready-made Ukrainian language of flowers, lakes and mountains is just for the exam." Qianlong said: "Poetry and Ci The language is good for Jinger, Geng Xin's poems are fresh, and the two lines of "Luo Hua Cui Gai" are exactly his style." Yu Minzhong laughed and said: "In Lao Du's "Spring Day Recalling Li Bai", there is "Bai Ye is invincible in poetry" Geng Qing opened the government, and Bao Junyi joined the army." In "Rongzhai Essays", some veterans listened to the discussion and said: "Since they are "invincible", how can they compare with Geng Bao?" Another person said' One is "refreshing" but not "elegant", and the other is "elegant" but not "refreshing". Li Bai is both "fresh" and "elegant", so it is compared to "invincible". He's not a spring baixue, nor is he from Lower Liba, he's both vulgar and elegant, and he's considered a "both elegant and vulgar"!" He said that he couldn't fully understand these metaphors, anecdotes, anecdotes, and Shen, but he could also hear the meaning of teasing, but he was never here The superior was fussy, and said with a smile: "Ji Yun once said Wang Baxie, 'male and female, neither male nor female'. This is right, it's the tone of the eunuch." Qianlong just smiled and ate tea when he heard the two of them quarreling. Silent. Talking and joking, the monarch and his ministers have already arrived in the outskirts of the western suburbs.The northwest area of ​​the Forbidden City was included in the Forbidden Garden due to the construction of the Old Summer Palace, and there were no common people's houses along the way. There is a vast flat land, and the wild sky and the lake are connected to each other in the north. The wheat field is surrounded by endless green waves in the spring breeze. It seems that there are idlers out in the spring in the farthest eyes. Children are running with their kite strings and legs. The idyllic scenery, the stone walls on the west side of the canal, stretching continuously to the south, can't be exhausted.There are openings every half a mile of the stone wall. Some are heavily guarded by soldiers, and some are coming and going. The new canal opened outside the wall has not yet been completed. Standing not far away, there are people patrolling back and forth. It seems that they are supervisors. Bamboo trees have been planted on the side of the stone wall, and the red buildings, white towers, high pavilions and long pavilions are hidden in the shadows of the dense green trees.Looking from a distance, the majestic and majestic, the green and the purple, and the magnificent and dazzling under the sun - this is the Garden of All Kingdoms, the famous Yuanmingyuan through the ages.In addition to the military affairs, He Shen’s first job was to build the garden for the governor. He knew everything here. Seeing that the emperor and Yu Minzhong were paying attention, he immediately held a whip in one hand and pointed out with the other: “There are all convenient doors here. It is convenient to transport stones and materials. In the future, a battalion of soldiers will be stationed at each gate to guard the garden - the double gates in front will build a nine-coupled mansion in the future, and a long screen of "Longevity without borders" will be made of ivy. The stone walls in this area are above the canal The ditch must have clear water to circulate. The stone wall is not only the palace wall, but also the canal foundation. It is convenient to plant exotic flowers and plants on the wall and under the wall for irrigation. From this convenient door, half a mile to the east is Qingfan Temple. In the future, Lafayette and Empress It will be very convenient for you noble masters and masters to worship the Buddha and so on. The garden is thirty li deep to the west, and the gate that has been opened there is facing the post road. It is easy to go to see the red leaves of Xishan Mountain in autumn, and it is easy to go to Yuquan Mountain..." His mouth was like a hanging river, and while walking with the sedan chair, he said that there was the Wanyuan Post House, where was the Kyushu Qingyan, where was the Zhengda Guangming Hall, and this was the Qinzheng Qinxian Hall, what Bitong? Academy, Ciyun Puhu, Xinghuachun Pavilion, High Mountain and Long Water Tower, Tiandi Family Spring, Siyi Bookstore, Fanghu Shengjing, Danningju, Daoningzhai, Sushangzhai, Yunqinzhai, Yishan Pavilion, Yan Appreciation Pavilion, Shufeng Room, Aicui Building, Ancient Yunxuan, Green Corridor, Peichawu, this is Buckingham Palace, that is the Kremlin Palace, that is Romanesque, this is Elysée...they are endlessly pointing the way.Qianlong Yu Minzhong and dozens of accompanying eunuchs and maids, Da Nai, followed him, gesticulating and gesticulating. They were dazzled by what they saw and what they heard. Each other ... heard Heshen pointing out: "...the entrance to this gate is the Qinxiang Pavilion, the south of the pavilion is the Baoyue Tower, and the west of the Baoyue Tower is the mosque. Pass a flower dock called 'Wuling Spring Scenery' and you will arrive at Guanyun Pavilion..." Qianlong laughed and said, "It seems that you can't finish talking in another hour. Since this place is close to Baoyue Tower, why do you have to go to the main entrance with double gates? Today Just look at Baoyue Tower, you can't finish seeing this garden in one day." "Let's not talk about one day, one month's time to watch the flowers, and you can't finish it. If you look carefully and play for two years, don't expect it." He Shen smiled, and when he turned around, he saw Qin Meimei coming from the south hesitantly from a distance, and was stunned for a moment. , Qin Meimei had already walked down the bottom of the canal and was out of sight. Suspicion suddenly arose in her heart, but she hurriedly turned her head and said, "... Haizi is connected to Haizi in the north, and the garden is surrounded by the garden and the Yuanmingyuan is integrated into one, with a radius of four hundred miles! Ji Yun I told me that this is the world’s first garden in the world!” Yu Minzhong also got off his horse and ordered the migrant workers who were digging soil to stop their work. Holding the sedan chair across the ditch that was being dug, he entered the garden through the nearby gate. The garden is under construction, bounded by the entrance corridor, with dense bamboo trees and pavilions in the south, winding and winding roads leading to seclusion, but there are piles of ash pits everywhere in the north, some places are digging foundations, and some places are erected with scaffolding The walls are being built, mortar and mud are all over the floor, and the reed sheds where the migrant workers live are spread out in tatters beside the lime ponds. The migrant workers who are far and near the construction have already avoided, and they all crawl on the spot and kowtow under the scaffolding, almost invisible. People's shadows look very chaotic... Therefore, the view from the garden to the north is not as good as the view from the partition wall outside.Seeing that Qianlong couldn't stop looking at the reed sheds of migrant workers, He Shen didn't want the emperor to be "close to the people" at this time, and said with a smile: "This place can't be stayed, the pot for boiling glue over there is supported, and with the smell of lime and paint, it's approaching." It’s really uncomfortable—go this way, go this way...there is the Qinxiang Pavilion in front of you..." At this moment, he is acting as a guide and guarding the big sedan chair, like a boatman on a dry boat during the Lantern Festival, busy back and forth , pointing and introducing in front of the window with clever steps and articulate words: "Over there is Daoningzhai, a row of Zhaigong, in the past it was Lexingzhai, Jingyanzhai, Shufangzhai, Sushangzhai, and to the east of the Zhai is Xiangyuan Room , the white dome house covered by the old juniper trees in the south is Baoyue Tower." He was talking happily, but Qianlong couldn't care less about looking at the scenery according to his direction, but when he saw the dense green, some roads covered the sky, or the roads were surrounded by flower fences, or the ancient twigs were knotted, or the road was full of red maples and poplars, There are small bridges and flowing water in the middle, and it is sparse for a while. This square passes Pixie, how can you see it with your eyes?He Shen said, "This is the Baoyue Tower." Then he came back to his senses, and the big sedan chair had landed steadily. Baoyue Tower is actually a Liguan, and it does not occupy a very large area, about four acres.Qianlong got off the sedan chair, and Heshen Yu Minzhong led the tour around the palace. It is a regulation of the upper pavilion and the lower hall. The hall is divided into two parts: the sleeping palace, the banquet palace, and the dining room, tea room, pharmacy, fasting room, and shower room. It is built as a whole, but the top of the pavilion is in the shape of a round gourd, with the spire facing upwards, a bit like the White Pagoda of Beihai. Even the columns of the pavilion, the railings of the pavilion outside the pavilion, and the underground well are all made of white marble and ice sculptures. Crystal clear and white as snow.The three of them climbed up the inner spiral staircase, and He Shen stomped on the floor lightly, saying, "Master Rong loves cleanliness the most, so I designed it this way. A hot spring was dug out during the construction, and the earth dragon in the temple does not use firewood in winter." Charcoal, open the reed gate, hot water flows through the earth dragon, the palace is so warm that you don’t need to wear cotton clothes, and the water in the bathing room is also a hot spring—this palace is built in Keke, and there is this spring in Keke, it’s amazing Isn’t it God’s will? It’s the blessing of the emperor and Master Rong!” Yu Minzhong has visited this place with hot springs many times, and some places can boil eggs with spring water. Hearing what He Shen said, he just followed suit Echoed: "The Holy Son of Heaven has the blessings and all the spirits to help." Qianlong just smiled and said nothing, pacing in front of the Hanyu fence and looking at it. What a vast and magnificent garden this is!The north is still under construction, and the sea of ​​trees and flowers stretches as far as the eye can see from the south to the west. Numerous pavilions, attics, pavilions, bridges, corridors and pavilions stretch forward in a well-organized manner, submerged in the "sea".Or lofty, or graceful, or small, or majestic, standing upright in the green waves looming, graceful and graceful.Romanesque, Versailles, Indian, and Upper Turkish buildings compete with each other ingeniously, and the styles are so novel that people are fascinated... Qianlong has seen the patterns carefully several times, and he is personally on the scene Only then did I know the feeling of being so beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful, such as being fascinated by the seven sages of the mountain of Juci, it's indescribable!He pointed to Louxi and asked Heshen: "Is this the mosque?" "Yes!" He Shen hurriedly said, "It was built in imitation of the Niujie Mosque. But compared with the Buddhist hall of Lafayette, it can't be built too big, and it can only accommodate more than 200 people to worship. It is engraved in Persian, It's putting gold on it." Qianlong said with a smile, "Very good, thoughtful thought. It is only used by Concubine Rong for worship in the palace on weekdays, and Muslim envoys come to pay homage. It can accommodate 200 people and it is as spacious as possible." Qianlong walked around the pavilion on the platform for two weeks with his hands behind his back. Seeing that Yu Minzhong and Shen followed suit, he turned around and pointed in all directions, and said, "That day this was the former Ming Emperor's Garden. He built this garden for falcon hunting, cockfighting and running dogs for fun. My son. Kangxi built the Changchun Garden and the Old Summer Palace to soothe the barren and far away. I am following the last wish of the late Emperor Kangxi to merge and rebuild the gardens, so as to bring peace to the Chinese civilization and the world. The purpose of taking care of a resort in his later years is benevolence and filial piety, to comfort the people with Dao, which is in line with the original heart of the holy ancestor Shizong, not for pleasure. You must understand my painstaking efforts." A gust of spring breeze blows in, and the garden is full of bamboo trees and flowers. The braids of Qianlong's robe are also gently raised. Pointing to it, he said: "The country is prosperous and prosperous, and the money in the treasury is like a mountain. If I don't do these things, future generations want to do it. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Useless surplus money is scattered among the people, and it will also talk about making up for the shortage of the people. It has become the capital for nourishing one’s career. Proximity and long-term planning complement each other. If such a good thing should be done, if the children and grandchildren have money, they should continue to do it..." He said with a smile on his face and slowly walked downstairs, Yu Minzhong He Shen only said that he was right, and he couldn't help but twist the rope with his legs to please him. He smiled and carried the corner of his robe and followed closely. Wang Lian and other eunuchs had been standing by and waited for orders. The Spring Pavilion goes west and then south—I plan to go out through the double-gate main gate of the Old Summer Palace and return to the city. I probably already knew the reason for Qianlong's inspection in advance, and I didn't see a single person along the way. At every intersection, there were Shanpuying, Yuanmingyuan guards and garden eunuchs. The deep moss is cool and very quiet. After staying in "Wuling Chunfang", for some reason, watching the crowds of people in front of me, the chatter and chatter became lively.Yu Minzhong's feet and legs were already sore from walking, when he heard voices in front of him, he set up an awning to look around, and found that there was a whole area of ​​green halls and tiled houses, and the roads had changed into dirt roads, and there were dozens of hundreds of houses, with two rows of streets sandwiched between them. , it looks like a rural market town, there are even teahouses and restaurants inside, and you can faintly hear the cries of "candied haws", "fried fruits" and "hot wontons"!Seeing Yu Minzhong asking with his eyes in surprise, He Shen pointed out with a smile: "There is a Daoxiang Village in the Grand View Garden. Our big royal garden cannot be without customs and folk customs - the houses here are low and cannot be seen upstairs. There is a small farmhouse, with five elements and eight works, thirty-six workshops, eunuchs selling wine as palace maids, the emperor is tired of government affairs, come here for a walk, you can relax, and you have the right to be "close to the people". It’s quite fresh to change to a plate of wild vegetables.” Qianlong had heard them talking in the sedan chair, lifted the curtains to look forward, and sure enough, he had arrived at a small market in the countryside. There are all kinds of people from the maids of the village girls, the bearers, the waiters of the dealers, and the accountants.Hearing the giggling laughter approaching from afar, he looked around and saw that there were grandsons, elder brothers, and princesses from the close branches of the clan.Only then did Qianlong know that there is still such a place for the students of Yuqing Palace to go after class.Seeing the emperor's eight-person bright yellow sedan chair being brought up, the people here did not kneel down and salute, but kept yelling and selling. When the shop came over, he hurriedly put down the curtains and paused with his feet, and the eunuchs who carried the sedan chair fell down with a long cry of "Oh".This time, the eunuchs and maids on the "street" were all stunned—the original said that the emperor would not stay here, but now they get off the sedan chair and salute? Is the "drama" still on?They all stared at He Shen Yu Minzhong.The two ministers were also stunned. But Qianlong did not get out of the sedan chair.Things like excrement and urine are fine if you don’t want to, the more you think about it, the faster you can hold it tight. He drinks ginseng soup, breast milk and wine in the morning, and drinks tea all the time when he gets in the sedan chair. What an eyesore and inconvenience, but now I can't bear the thought of running water into the east toilet used by the guards at the double gate.But here is "on the street", I can't see where there is an east toilet, even if there is, the street is full of men and daughters, eunuchs, eunuchs, and palace ladies, and there is one thing in a hurry to get off the sedan chair - Zhang Huang is looking for a latrine, this "Ninth Five-Year" respect is too " That's it, Wang Lian stood beside him, seeing his expression was familiar, but how could he dare to talk too much? Seeing people getting more and more surrounded, and the big sedan "squatting" in the street, Yu Minzhong asked a few times, but Qianlong didn't say a word, how dare Wang Lian speak?He Shen was also in a daze at first: What is the reason why this kind of place stops the car for no apparent reason and does not get out of the car, and does not answer the questions?He frowned and looked at the lowered car curtains, put his tongue against his cheeks and thought about before and after, and he understood in a flash—looked around, went to a grocery store next to the street without saying a word, pointed to the shelves with lingering eyes, and said to "Boss" ” Said: “Give me that carved vase, and keep the account!” The "boss" was also an eunuch, and he was looking at the Qianlong sedan chair through the door with dumbfounded eyes. Seeing He Shen talking, he hurriedly turned around and carefully moved it down, and said with an apologetic smile, "This is something used for pickling vegetables in Korea, my lord, have you won the competition?—— What kind of account do you keep, it’s a villain’s fawning!" He even dusted the jar with a chicken feather, and said in his mouth, "I’ll wrap it in paper and tie it up, and send it to the house—" He didn’t finish speaking, and Shen was so anxious that he hugged the altar between the closets, and then lost a sentence: "Keep the account!" Stung back to the front of the sedan chair unhurriedly, lifted the curtain with one hand and carried the altar in with the other hand, and whispered: "It's convenient for the master... "Smiling and backing away... Qianlong's face was ashen from holding back, and he calmed down after he released the water carefully, and said to Wang Lian with a smile: "It is true that people say that water and fire are ruthless, I hope you learn how to serve as a waiter!" The worm in my belly!" He coughed softly, and got out of the sedan chair with a smile in front of everyone. A group of people looked at the sedan chair eagerly, all suspicious in their hearts, how could someone come out after sending it in a jar?But there was no time to think about it right now, seeing Yu Minzhong and Shen kneeling, they knelt down in a commotion.Qianlong saw that the shops all over the street were covered by thick green gauze curtains, which looked exactly like a remote rural town in the north of the Yangtze River. The sedan chair was shaking dizzily, and there was a sense of comfort when stepping on the moist soil, with arms open and closed. , Smiled to a group of princes and grandchildren: "Is the world equal! He Shen arranged such a place to make people forget the restraint of etiquette and law. It's boring to make a fuss like this-get up, get up! Everyone go shopping as you like!" So everyone laughed and got up.The first ten princesses here are the youngest of the Yongzi generation. They can only be seven or eight years old. They are lively, innocent, beautiful, and cute. They touched the dirt on their knees with their little hands and laughed crisply: "Ama, this village was originally built by He Shen? Really?" It’s fun! I’ve been here a few times!——What were you doing in the sedan chair just now? I thought you wouldn’t get out of the sedan chair anymore!” As he spoke, he put his head into Qianlong’s arms and acted coquettishly, pointing to the west of the street and said, "There's a gourd seller over there, with red nails! There are winter grasshoppers in there, and they only cost one tael and a half of silver... My mothers didn't bring any money... You buy me one, and there's Monkey King fighting iron The clay figurine of Princess Fan is also cheap..." "One or two halves of a grasshopper gourd, still saying it's cheap?" Qianlong was led away by her, and smiled, "That's five buckets of white rice, a three-month ration for a poor man! ——From now on, we are not allowed to mess with 'He Kun and Shen' Call, have you forgotten what the Queen Mother said to you? You don’t bring money, so am I the one with money?” The tenth princess shook Qianlong’s hand and said, “Ama, Ama, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. , would you buy it for me..." Yu Minzhong and Shen watched Shigege rubbing Qianlong, the old and the young were joking, laughing.Yu Minzhong smiled and said: "The emperor will go back to Da Nei. I told them that I owe them first. This is called credit..." Qianlong pointed to He Shen and said: "He will be your grandfather in the future. If you want money or things, Look for him..." He Shen hurriedly said: "The slave should be flattering... Last time Gege said he wanted a parrot cage with nine beams, eighteen buildings and seventy-two ridges. The slave made one with gold wire and bamboo wire. I made one up, it’s all good! What do you want, what will the servant buy for you..." Qianlong saw the old dark stone color of the double gate embankment in the east of Wuling Village, and the moss on it was covered with old kudzu vines, so he knew it was the original old system, so he pointed and asked: "Does this water flow into Kunming Lake?" He Shen Coaxing Shi Gege to stop making trouble, he quickly responded with a smile: "Yes! It turns out that there is a Baotu Spring in the lake. It has been silted up for more than ten years, and the spring water from the upper Haizi was poured in, but this spring spewed water again. Why? The embankment was flooded, the Jinshui River was dredged in the lower reaches of the lake, and the gates were added. There are more than 100 hectares of rice fields to the south of the double gates, so after such a rectification, irrigation will not be worrying." Qianlong wanted to ask again, seeing Qin Meimei At the east end of the street, he waved over by name and asked, "You're here too? What's the matter? I seem to see you at Baoyue Tower too!" "Ah, Your Majesty... it's... this and that..." Qin Meimei seemed to be in a bit of a panic, her tongue was also tied, she kowtowed a few times before she came to her senses, and said, "Lafayette sent this servant here, saying to follow the master around the garden , there is—well, this—something new to go back and talk to her old man, eh!” Qianlong didn't care about it at first, but felt wrong after hearing this, and said with a sneer: "You are so strange. When can't you change the garden? You want to follow me, like a ghost without a master! To be honest, just Be afraid!" "You slaves dare to bully the master!" Qin Meimei was so frightened that she was sweating all over, she kowtowed and said, "There is an empress of Lafayette on the top... The master will know as soon as he asks, it really is these words... " It was strange for such a thing to happen out of nowhere, and the group of urchins surrounded him again, some were dumbfounded, some looked down at his expression, and shouted: "Your Majesty, he There are ghosts in my heart, and my face is ashen!" Some pointed to the embankment outside: "He is a spy—just now on the embankment, he was looking at the emperor's tip..." "I thought he was not a good person. Something, dare to be sympathetic, is really a thief..."... There was a lot of chatter and chatter.He Shen had already decided that he was stalking, but he couldn't figure out the reason for a while, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, he just said: "Men, it's none of your business - let's play, huh? In the man's restaurant over there, turn around and ask Liu Quan to give you the money with a note! Oh, okay, okay...go, go..." Smiling all over his face, he sent the group of masters away, and glanced at Yu Minzhong, but Yu Minzhong Looking at Qianlong's sedan chair, his face is full of calm. "The more you talk, the more obscene you are." Qianlong sneered, "I asked you, but you want me to ask Lafayette! I always look at your duty, and you are the first to be rewarded for your merits. You But it's a flowery match with me!" "Don't dare...it's true...ah—no—yes—well..." He slapped himself with a "slap", and five fingerprints immediately appeared on his left cheek, "...I Damn, I didn't turn on the lamp, I'm so stupid, I can't explain this point!" There were also dozens of eunuchs, maids, and maids accompanying the imperial sedan chair, and they couldn't help laughing when they saw the domineering chief executive in such a mess.But Qin Meimei became eloquent, bowed her head and said: "It's something that came at night, Lafayette and the empress talked about it. I don't know who passed it on, saying that it's ruining the blessings, saying that the master's body is important, I'm afraid there will be a return in this garden." Fu, let the slave come and watch. Back to the master, what exactly is "Hui Fu", the slave doesn't know, and dare not ask——You have always known the slave, and you dare not take more than a step, and don't say a word Dare to ask..." Qianlong was stunned when he heard half of it, he was ashamed, annoyed and strange: the Queen Mother knew what happened last night this morning, and sent someone to watch him not to "spoil his body"!In front of so many people, this foolish eunuch "ruined and returned blessings" one by one, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't help it--which bitch is chewing his tongue behind his back?He looked at He Shen with a dull smile on his face, Yu Minzhong was also dumb, and the eunuchs around him were silent like cicadas, and they didn't seem to be like the Queen Mother's "repaying God".Looking at the surrounding scenery again, there are bells and whistles in the distance, and the vulgarity in the vicinity is already dull.He walked aimlessly for two steps, kicked Qin Meimei's buttocks and cursed: "You bastard! Get up and take me to the Palace of Compassion!" When I came here I was full of enthusiasm, but when I returned, I was full of ghosts. The curtains of the sedan chair along Qianlong's journey were tightly covered, and they never moved again.The eunuch who carried the sedan chair knew that he was upset, so who would dare to neglect him?It's like walking like the wind.In the past, some people rode horses and others took mule carts to carry sedan chairs. Only Qin Meimei had to suffer because she had to "carry" her at the front when she walked. He was used to being pampered. His legs were numb, and he ran in somersaults to report.With a sullen face, Qianlong said to Minzhong and Shen: "You are tired too, come in after handing out the sign tomorrow—you, whoever wants to live enough, just talk about today's affairs!" He glanced sideways at everyone, and everyone Immediately, he was swept short by half - Qianlong had already gone. The atmosphere in the Palace of Mercy Ning was not as stagnant and awkward as Qianlong had imagined. Qin Meimei seemed to have not had time to tell the Queen Mother about returning to the garden, she was standing in front of the big kang with a dry smile, wringing a hot towel for the Queen Mother.The queen sat sideways on the edge of the kang, using a small spoon to stir the sugar in the milk bowl.Mrs. Niu Kulu, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wei Jia were also there, smiling and standing beside them holding handkerchiefs, while Mrs. Zhuo sat on the machine with a Persian cat in his arms, and put a very small embroidered hat on it. Pinning a gold-threaded cap with silk ribbons tied to the cat's neck, Concubine Ding'an was sitting opposite the Queen Mother, and she was talking about Gu Jier at length: "...the hunter brought the female goose back and was about to kill it. Her mother was on the kang, saying "Son, listen to the outside, it's that wild goose, screaming so that people's hearts are terrified! Last night, I dreamed that Goddess Guanshiyin said, "You are blind, it's the retribution of your son's killing karma. If you want him to kill again, Even he will be blind in the next life! Poor thing, although it is a flat-haired animal, it has a soul after all, let it live..." Although the Orion is cruel by nature, he is a dutiful son, so he let go of the butcher knife on the spot, and let him go The female goose had gone. Unexpectedly, the next day, the male and female geese flew back again, and there were a few young geese circling around the house. The Orion opened the door and came out. Two liang weight and a piece of gold are on the ground, beckoning the little geese to fly away..." She was talking, when she saw Qianlong coming in, she stopped.Everyone was listening to her, and they all knelt down in a daze, only Empress Nala got up gracefully to greet her.Concubine Rong left her seat and knelt down, the Persian cat called "Miaowu" and jumped out, wearing the small hat and scurrying up and down the kang, the queen mother laughed, and everyone laughed too, then the queen mother said: "The emperor is here? Sit at the table here and talk." Qianlong knew that the group of people came to comfort the Empress Dowager, so he sat down with an unnatural smile and said, "Hello, mother! My son went to the garden today to see Baoyue Tower—— Seeing the queen mother reaching out for the cat, she grabbed it nearby and gave a rough description of the garden scenery with a smile. Dao'er can't tell the difference." "I know that He Shen is capable, and it's up to you." The queen mother stroked the smooth fur of the cat with her hand, and she was very pleased with the trick. Shen Yinde, one is to comfort his loyalty, the other is to become an in-law, and even more so—don’t worry, listen to me—he is no matter how clever he is, after all, a woman is reincarnated. The more I look at him, the more It looks like it! Governing a country is like running a family. You have to rely on men for important things. Reincarnation is also a reason. I only care about pleasing you, and I’m afraid of making some crooked ways. Your body is tighter than anything else." Heshen is the reincarnation of Jinxia. In Qianlong, it was a kind of thought, and it was just a record. However, the Empress Dowager was so serious that she treated it as a serious military and state affairs!Thinking about it this way, yesterday's matter of choosing a woman naturally made the Queen Mother more vigilant.Coupled with the fact that someone stoked the evil fire from it, there was a matter of sending people to follow.Qianlong was amused and angry at the same time, he hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Lafayette thought too deeply. The matter of reincarnation is illusory, how can it be accurate? Even if he is really a reincarnation of a woman, he is already a man in this life. Put the things of the previous life on this life to care about?" "Sure!" Seeing Qianlong's disapproval, the queen mother became more solemn and serious, and patted the cat lightly, frowning and said to everyone, "I said the emperor may not believe this, and you still say he is a layman! My son, tell you一句话，女人做事待人比男人认真得多！几辈子也不会摞开手的！我拢着他也防着他，并不为是我杀了锦霞，我还有几天阳寿的？你的大事我从来不管，冷眼瞧着傅恒尹继善纪昀李待尧都是正经人，死的死黜的黜，虽说未必是有人作祟，作养几十年的人才说声完，就不中用了，不该提个醒儿？就是你每常说的防——防什么来着？”她用眼看定安太妃，太妃却不敢接这个茬，又看皇后，那拉氏低声道：“防微杜渐……”乾隆便认定是皇后在背后掇弄，心里的火一烘一蹿的，低头忍着，笑道：“母亲教训的是，儿子都记住了。现在军机处阿桂为首，刘墉于敏中也是正人，和珅佻脱自喜，大事不糊涂，理财是把好手。纪昀李侍尧有过惩罚，也是按祖宗家法办的，将来还要用。儿子有一条，誓不当唐玄宗，时时警惕，断不敢伤圣母的心的……” 太后听了含笑点头。她眼神已经不济事，乾隆又是低头说话，假如她能看到乾隆愠怒的神色和漾射的怒火，她也会打个寒颤的，当下说道：“圣祖爷在时就说过你比他福大，还特意到雍和宫看我的相，生你的时候满宫都是异香红光，几个老丫头现在进来磕头还说这些事。我老了，眼瞧着你功名事业治理天下比圣祖世宗都好，我欢喜着呢！就是和珅我也不厌弃，太平日久了小心些儿，所以白嘱咐几句。这和人家过日子一样，一个身子结实，一个平安无事，比什么宝贝都贵重呢——我已经吩咐了这宫里，还有六宫都太监，从今个起，你住乾清宫也好，养心殿也罢，翻谁的牌子谁去。早晨到起来时，我派人去唤你。你如今这位份名声儿，给后世子孙立个榜样。你立起来，后世就成了祖宗家法，你说是不是呢？” 乾隆情知母亲还是不肯放过，不知是谁变出这法子拘囿自己，翻谁牌子招谁，额外偷情那就休想，偶尔早晨睡个回笼觉，窗外就有人代太后叫起——这要多烦人有多烦人！但清室家法，皇帝不怕后妃怕母后，祖传养成习惯从不敢违拗的。想想自己立个“家法”给儿孙，也是一份子光鲜体面，尽自心里别扭，顺从慈孝惯了的，如何说得出“不”字？因咽了一口唾液，说道：“母亲这是疼儿子，儿子敢不从命么！儿子当得立这个'榜样'儿。况且儿子自幼早起惯了的，这个不难。您只管放心。”他顿了顿，又道，“儿子这就招大太监们，一来传母亲懿旨，二来宫禁门户也要严谨严谨。前一程子只顾了外头大事，内苑宫务都松弛了。” “你到底是个明白人。”太后一点也没留心乾隆眼中阴寒的波光，笑道，“齐家才能治国平天下嘛！你招他们，这宫里就是秦媚媚去，也传我的懿旨，也听你的训。”跟着进来的王廉见乾隆看自己，忙一溜烟跑出去传旨了。 乾隆自从即位，专门召集太监训旨，还是头一回。不但他，就是康熙雍正下来百年有余，也没听说过这种事。王廉传旨，原说去养心殿，待人到齐，又说去乾清宫，接着又改了主意，移到坤宁宫，如此郑重其事，弄得一干老公儿们心中都揣了兔子，惶惶的不知出了什么大事。只有秦媚媚王廉心里有数，知道这主儿心中五味不和恼着，耷着头绷着脸，像个罪人似的带着一干太监——都是有六品职衔的蓝翎子——鱼贯进了坤宁宫。又过了少半顿时辰，才听跟驾的高云从喊道：“皇上驾到！” “皇上吉祥，奴才们给皇上叩安！” 殿中几十个总管太监一齐请安打千儿下去。这都是磕头请安行礼的积年老手，动作固是齐整划一，嗓门儿也差不离儿，都是一色的公鸭嗓子。乾隆还从来没听过这大一群“公鸭”齐声都叫，怪里怪气的，差点要笑出来，轻咳一声又板起了面孔，步履从容，直登殿中须弥座，却不就坐，命秦媚媚：“宣老佛爷懿旨！” “奉圣母太后老佛爷懿旨。”秦媚媚怯生生侧身站在须弥座台下，看着太监觑着乾隆说道：“如今圆明园已经成了模样，往后春夏秋三季儿皇帝都要过去理政。紫禁城、园子两头宫禁关防都要整肃些子才好。太监都是阴微卑贱小人，局面既然大了，侍候差使的人多了，难保没有防护不周的事。事关国典家法天家尊严体面的事，不能不防微杜渐些个。皇帝起居一举一动事关国体，更要本规矩侍奉差使。自今而始，皇帝寝居移住乾清宫养心殿，除皇后外，所有妃嫔媵御召幸，一律进皇帝行在侍候。太监是皇宫家奴，一不许导引阿哥荒疏学业，二不许交通外间王公大臣，三不许议论传言皇室内闲的事，也为谨防前头明朝刘瑾魏忠贤干预朝政祸乱天下，祖宗家法上头写的明白。圣祖仁皇帝。世宗宪皇帝铁牌子竖着呢！谁敢犯这律条，佛门虽然慈悲，不度无缘之人，我也说不得一个'饶'字儿。你们听好了，皇帝自然恩赏。不的，杀你时甭后悔！”
