Chapter 16 The Sixteenth Chapter An Gongwei Qianlong comforted his mother, fearing that the people would turn into a noble lady and reduce rent and food

Only the empress dowager and the emperor, mother and son were left in Dongnuange.When Qianlong saw that the maids were clearing away the cards on the kang table, he got up and said with a smile: "You are not needed here, even the eunuchs have retreated to the Xipei Hall!" As he said this, he personally took the silver bottle from the tea set table, poured a cup of herbal tea for the queen mother and held it in both hands. After offering it, he slowly and neatly scattered the cards on the kang table, and said with a smile: "These cards are all frayed, I really don't know how these killers serve Lafayette!"

"Just ask the servants to do those things." The queen mother laughed, "I heard that it was the third watch last night to read the booklets - it was too tiring. Please be kind, I can't bear to ask you to come here every day!" Qianlong said Saying "yes" smiled and said: "These things are the son's duty. The son will take care of him once in a while, it's a bit of a family relationship! The civil and military affairs are arranged, and this autumn I will serve my mother Nan. Go. Let's find a temple to live in. We won't see anyone for three days. As long as we have our own family, our son has to be close to his mother, and try to be filial." The queen mother was so excited by what he said, she leaned on the big welcoming pillow and raised her glass with one hand. Said: "The Holy Grandfather made six tours to the south of the Yangtze River. I was only a side Fujin at that time, and I was not blessed to go with the late emperor. I heard the theory of the late emperor when he came back, that West Lake, Broken Bridge, Leifeng Pagoda, Lingyin Temple, Slender West Lake, Hongqiao, Xiao Qinhuai... What Qinhuai moon, Qiantang tide... It is more than ten times stronger than the painting! He also talked about watching the sunset from the side of the Hongqiao, and watching the moon from the Ershisi Bridge... He is such a serious person, He laughed out loud when he said it - he even recited poems!"

Seeing that his mother liked it, Qianlong accepted the words and said with a smile: "My son still remembers that Huang Ama recited poems—" Yin then chanted: The side of the twenty-four bridge is carrying wild sailing, and the six baht is ethereal and red makeup. Children should take peach blossom noodles, and luanweixiang hooks out of the short wall. ——There is another song: After reciting new words, leaning on the cloud servant girl, Qing Wan strives to be passed on to the class of ladies. Hongye Yugou becomes the past, leaving poetry and words in the world again. After reciting, he said: "This is Mei Wending's poem. The person in front of the holy ancestor was good at astronomy, mathematics, and the law and calendar. The first emperor praised him that he does not have such a talent now, so I just remember—" "Ditch" story, thinking of Lainiang, he stopped talking, and said after a long while: "Younger Jackie Chan built an academy in Hongqiao, when the time comes, I'll go and have a look..."

Seeing that he was talking happily, the queen mother suddenly became gloomy. She examined his expression and asked, "The emperor seems to have something on his mind. I've been discussing the affairs for a long time today, and I'm going to be tired. Let's go back and have a rest." "There are many sons, it's something on my mind." Qianlong said.In fact, when the Queen Mother was talking, Qianlong had been thinking that the temporary Jin Feng Lainiang was afraid that the Queen Mother would be unhappy, so he wanted to explain it; although it is a state matter to kill Neqin, but Neqin's father and the Queen Mother are cousins, one that cannot be avoided The relatives who are not far or near are going to be killed now, and they don't even say hello, and they embarrass themselves a little bit when they treat Jing'er, and the reputation of "filial son of heaven" is over.Thinking about it, I picked out a confession that I could speak clearly.After muttering for a while, Qianlong sighed deeply and said, "Neqin's case has been settled. It has been decreed that Feng Yebilong will kill him with a knife."

"Ah!—" The half-lying Empress Dowager's hands trembled, and even the herbal tea in the cup splashed out.She sat up straight, put the cup down slowly, her face became extremely pale, and asked with difficulty: "Has the order been issued?" "yes……" "Is it Fu Heng's opinion?" "No, it's me - Fu Heng is a slave, he can't be the master." "Can it be saved?" "I have already made a decree, and I will not wait for future orders." "But...you are the Son of Heaven, the Emperor." The Empress Dowager's face became even paler, and she said in a trembling voice: "Neqin is the grandpa's direct lineage, and is a single heir, with a hereditary first-class duke. ...Every time you always praise him for his job well done, these credits should still be read—reasoning, there is no room for me to talk here. Since you tell me, you can stay a little bit alive, It’s best not to be dismissed—Neqin is the prime minister, and the Qing Dynasty has never killed the prime minister! Longko is a conspiracy, and the late emperor’s temper is just to be banned forever. This is the rule left over from the Taizu. ...I said this for the sake of your reputation in future generations, so it's better to think more carefully. Human heads are not leeks, they can grow back after cutting them off."

Qianlong was too familiar with his mother, not to mention infidelity, she had to fast and offer incense every year to commit criminals, and repeatedly urged: "If you are spared, you must be spared, and you must be spared." He said that he couldn't bear to kill Neqin, but if Neqin didn't kill him, not only would the battle of Jinchuan not be able to go on, there would be troubles in Xijiang, the Hui tribe, and the Tibetan tribe, and the morale would be low. .Qianlong's face was gloomy, he nodded from time to time when he heard his mother's words, and said with a sigh: "Mother and son are connected, and the son has thought of this. It is also because the son is the son of heaven and the emperor, so I will not forgive you. The crime of bullying the king You can forgive him, 60,000 innocent souls are full of resentment, how can we comfort and pray? Those dead people are piling up mountains, just like what mother said, cutting leeks! If you don’t kill him, the general will send troops to free horses in the future, and he will still be called Celing Allah Butan's soldiers fell one by one. Eniang was a merciful person. Thinking about those soldiers who died in the yellow muddy pond, it was so miserable. His crimes are unforgivable? Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin vowed not to kill the ministers, and the ministers Harm the common people below, turn the country upside down... Lafayette, what kind of reputation is that?"

"It was not the Mongols who destroyed the Song Dynasty, but the civil and military officials of Wen Tian and Wu Xi." Knowing that his mother had been persuaded, Qianlong continued to follow his own way of thinking and said: "The Mongolian army drove the last emperor of the Song Dynasty to Qiong. Yahaihai, the last emperor of the Song Dynasty was still a child, and the prime minister Lu Xiufu was still telling him "The Doctrine of the Mean" on the boat. The boat was surrounded, and the boat of his wife and children sank first, and he threw himself into the sea with the little emperor in his arms... Er Niang, do you know who the Mongolian general who commanded this battle is?"

The Queen Mother shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "It's called Zhang Hongfan." Thinking of the miserable life of the last emperor of the Song Dynasty, Qianlong also felt terrified, and said with a choked voice, "He was a general of the Song Dynasty. He voted for the Yuan and came to fight against his own master. After the Song Dynasty was destroyed, he was still alive." Moya cast characters and wrote a few words saying "Zhang Hongfan destroyed the Song Dynasty here"! Later generations despised him, imitating his handwriting and added another word at the front, "Song Zhang Hongfan destroyed the Song Dynasty here"-this is not meanness of the literati, it is It’s a true historical fact! My son wants to win, don’t tell future generations that our Qing Dynasty will produce a thief like Zhang Hongfan!” As he spoke, the Queen Mother nodded while weeping, and sighed: “I understand, this is really true. Helpless thing...he has committed a crime, let him suffer..." Qianlong turned to comfort the queen mother, and said: "It is merciful for Lafayette to think this way. To complete the country, the community, the soldiers of the three armies, and the people, also complete the The painstaking efforts of the son. Even if Neqin knows the secret, he should also be grateful for his kindness...Naqin has no heirs, and his hereditary succession can be reduced to the second-class prince. Just... let his brother Celen succeed the second-class prince, you see Can become?"

The queen mother sighed, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and murmured: "Amitabha! My son, you can arrange these matters yourself... I am old and my energy is not good. Even if I am in good spirits, it is not a woman's business. Things outside are very different from those of the ancestors and late emperors. Even if the old Xiaozhuang Buddha is alive, she can't take care of it. Not only outside, but also in the palace, I can let go. It's just that Fucha's body , Seven disasters and eight diseases make people worry. The Forbidden City also has this garden, and several forbidden gardens such as Rehe Mountain Resort, which are more than ten times larger than when the holy grandfather was, and the eunuch palace has more than three times more people. Foreign words do not enter, internal words do not go out, the palace guards are guarded, and eunuchs bring in men disguised as women. If one is not careful, who can deserve the reputation of the word "dirty"? Sometimes I have to worry about the queen. "

"What mother said is true!" Qianlong knew what he was referring to when he heard the inner and outer words.Yin accompanied him with a smile and said: "My son has also heard some gossip. Lai Niang is innocent and alone, and she is called a small trickster who can't be described as a person. This is the fault of 'outside words enter the inside'. Gao Dayong is actually a He is a stable person, so old, and he still carries a lantern to patrol at night. It's just that the situation is too big, and he can't handle it alone. There is no important concubine living in Bu Yi's side, and he is promoted to the eunuch of the Sixth Palace of Dayong, and Bu Yi is here. I'm afraid it would be better to be a deputy head to help with the palace affairs. These matters should be discussed by the son and the queen, and the big palace affairs should be consulted by Lafayette. Don't worry about small things, just care about yourself. The country is being smoldering During this period, don’t be afraid to use money, as long as you are happy, you must work hard to be filial to any son you want, and you will teach the old Buddha to be happy until he is a hundred years old!"

Qianlong was articulate, and some sweet words made the queen mother happy again.She was originally a loose person with nothing to do, and she didn't have a lot of scheming. She just had a seizure and heard that Qianlong had promoted her to be a concubine. She was a little unhappy, but now she has been thrown to Java, because she said: " Lai Niang is pitiful, she has been bullied by her mother's family for more than ten years, and she will be forgiven if she enters the palace! You are more refreshed than your mother. Now that you are like this, I think it is also very good. Minger asked her to come over and kowtow to me, I still have good things Reward her!" Qianlong's thoughts flashed suddenly, and he took advantage of the empress dowager's excitement and said: "I have two thoughts about the palace, and I haven't discussed it with the empress. One is that some maids are old, and some have been serving for many years. Those who are worthy, those who should be assigned, should be assigned to serve the master for a while, and have a good place to stay—for those civil and military officials who are promising, they also have to bathe in the kindness of the queen mother. Besides, the concubine has always been custom-made, and it is not allowed Gui Ning. I think they are born and raised by their parents, and they have the same heart of filial piety and relatives. I come to pay my mother’s peace every day, but I still feel that I can’t do one ten thousandth of my filial piety. My son and nephew, although they are rich and honored, still lack a bit of family happiness. May as well let Lafayette make a decree, the son obeys Yan Yan, ordering them to return to their mother's house, and the family will be reunited and happy, isn't it also a benevolent act that heaven and man delight in?" "Okay! It's hard for my son to be so thoughtful!" The queen mother clapped her palms and smiled, sighing, "This is what the ancestors did. Later concubines did not have this blessing. Hit me into the palace and look at these empresses and concubines." We are rich and honorable, but in fact, we all have an unexplainable bitterness in our hearts. We have done everything we can, starting with Lafayette Xiaozhuang, only two of them have lived past the age of 60. I am afraid it is because of these sad things in heaven. You are called the physical and natural, and you are thinking about emotions! Even the queen, I can also issue a decree to ask her to go to Fu Heng's mansion to hang around. There is a conscience in heaven and earth, how can there be a woman who does not want to go back to her mother's house?" Seeing his mother was happy, Qianlong stood up and said with a smile: "My son has to go over to the queen to have a look. He heard that he was suffering from phlegm and asthma again, and said it was irrelevant. These imperial doctors were puzzled. Some American ginseng came from France. Tell them to fetch a few catties for Lafayette. I heard that it is different from Korean ginseng. Let the eunuchs try it first, and then use it with your mother. The queen dare not use these tonics lightly..." Then he resigned, but listened The Empress Dowager recited scriptures in the hall: Nanwu Drinking and Hanging Post, Doing and Yena, Cowardly and Cowardly, Living Together, Mocha, Mocha, Huhu Yinhe, Hesu Danmo, Bank Pomo Chariot, Zipo River... Qianlong thought about it for a while, and knew that he was reciting sutras for Neqin, so he couldn't help but feel sad. He looked at the hazy and green rain from the edge of the eaves, stared blankly for a while, and went to Chengyu without saying a word. The queen does not live in the newly built Western-style palace near the north of Fenghua Building.About half a mile west of Danningju, there stands a "Daoningzhai" palace, with red walls, yellow tiles, cornices and brackets, all hidden in the misty rain and verdant old trees and bamboos. Although the large area of ​​Bi Chen Chen is not as grand and tall as the palace of Dan Ningju, because the palace is built on a mound shaped like a turtle's back, it looks very solid and solid.According to Qianlong's wishes, he originally wanted the queen to live in the winter palace that resembled the Raksha Kingdom.The queen was not very willing. Although the Winter Palace was cool, it was made of white marble. She thought the color was too plain and the palace was too spacious, and she couldn't understand the style of the surrounding palaces.Daoningzhai is a fasting palace. Before Yongzheng fell ill, he met evil spirits in the garden. He and Prince Hongzhou thought it was the ghost of Jia Shifang, a demon. They invited Lou Shigen, a real person from Jiangshan Longhushan Mountain, to enter the garden and set up an altar to suppress it. This is the Fengshui area chosen. The treasure land, the palace will be safe.Therefore, when the garden was planned, Hong Zhou specially asked for an order to build "Dao Ning Palace" on this turtle-shaped mound, and then renamed it "Zhai".The queen has always believed in Buddhism and Taoism, so she lived here because of her determination.The little Sula supervisor who guarded the palace saw Cheng Yu coming from a distance, and had already flown in to report it. When Qianlong came down, Qin Meimei ran out to meet Qianlong, and hurriedly put on oil coat for Qianlong, and took a pair of Ula grass shoes, Changing Qianlong's soaked moccasin boots into green satin cool-lined soap boots, he said with a smile as he worked, "This oil coat is a tribute from Luo Luo, and it's covered with mallard duck down inside and out, so it won't soak through even the heavy rain." Don't look at this hot weather, no matter how wet your clothes are, even the wind blows, it will still soak your bones..." Qianlong smiled and listened to his chatter, and asked: "What is your mistress doing now? How much did you have for lunch?" "Master, good day today! For lunch, I had a flat bowl of old rice, a plate of stewed tofu with ham, and a small plate of sliced ​​mushrooms and magnolia. It tastes delicious!" Qin Meimei finished the meal for Qianlong, walked in front of Qianlong, and occasionally took the wet weight Picking up the flower branches to open the way for Qianlong, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty is in a good mood today, so Master La and Master Niu came to congratulate the newly appointed Master Wei. It happened that Mrs. Fu Zhongtang also came in to say hello. The rain blocked it. Niang Niang left them to have dinner together, happily chatting and laughing at the big table, everyone was overjoyed!" Hearing that Tang'er also came in, Qianlong was stunned for a moment, kept walking, but asked: "Is Mrs. Chen still cooking?" "No—yes" Qin Meimei said: "Master Chen only sits and talks with you. Your Majesty Said that Zheng Erzhi's meal is to her taste, Master Chen should not cook with Zheng Er, because Long Live Lord loves to eat her meal, and he is afraid of her--Handan is learning to walk, and the taste has changed. Long live Lord will not be good. He also said , this meal is the same as a person's, it's all about the fate of the spleen and stomach..." Qianlong stopped in his tracks and thought: Empress Fucha is really a good empress. She is thrifty and charitable, and has a peaceful personality. Jealousy, I have never wanted the favor of a special room.The Dade is like this, even such trivial things are so thoughtful for himself, he can't help but feel hot.Qin Meimei thought she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly stopped talking.Qianlong only smiled, then moved forward, and said as he walked: "Turn around, you pass the decree to the House of Internal Affairs to reward Zheng with the second and sixth ranks. You are with the queen, and the queen and I are enemies. Your rank and rank are the same. Bu Xiaobu Yi wants to level up, and he is also the top of the fifth rank - this is the best that a eunuch can get, so good to serve you, I might reward you with blue feathers and flower feathers..." As he spoke, he saw a few people under the dripping eaves of Daoning Zhai Palace. The women stood neatly in a row, expecting Nala, Niuhulu, Chen, Lainiang and Tang'er to welcome themselves at the entrance of the hall, because they ordered: "You go to the queen. Tell her not to come out, it's raining outside." It's cool and windy." "Break!" Qin Meimei never expected to get such a big prize for no reason, and her head swelled with joy.I hit a thousand children in the rain, got up and turned around, and accidentally stepped on the moss, slipped my buttocks and sat in the water, kicked up and jumped up again, straight towards the temple, like a smoke, It provoked several women who greeted him in the corridor to shake their handkerchiefs and giggle.Seeing Qianlong approaching, they kowtowed their heads together, and said in uneven voices: "Slaves and maidservants send their respects to Lord Long Live!" "Okay, everyone get up and enter the hall to talk!" Qianlong raised his hand and took off his wooden shoes before stepping into the hall.The queen came out of the warm pavilion, and while bowing to Qianlong, she greeted several women: "Don't set rules in the outer hall, the master is exhausted, come in and talk to the master to relieve boredom—listen today It is said that Yingtai has a long discussion on politics, and you have to go to Yingying at night. Mrs. Chen is also here, ask her to cook for you, and then go after eating here. I asked someone to send it to the 'Turkish' palace. The house over there is not as complete as here, so there is no need to go there for dinner, right?" Qianlong looked at the Queen's complexion, and it turned out to be a little more rosy than usual, because of a smile, he said: "I invite you to come to the garden, you are afraid that you will not be used to it - is it better here? I heard that you suffered from phlegm and asthma this morning, and your complexion looks like Irrelevant." He caught a glimpse of a roll of pictures spread out on the desk, and asked: "Where did the pictures come in? It must be good. Whose handwriting is it?" He said and looked at Tang'er.Tang'er blushed and quickly lowered her head.Empress Fucha said with a smile: "This is not an ancient painting, it is the color painting of the Old Summer Palace sent by the Ministry of Industry to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We chatted, and they all wanted to open their eyes, so I called them over and asked them to take a look." Qianlong smiled and nodded, seeing Everyone stood, so they sat on the chairs beside the kang first, and said: "The queen likes to meditate, and she also sits on the kang—you can do whatever you want, don't be formal today." Because he looked at Tang'er again, he said after a long time: "It seems that there is His hair is gray, but you can’t see it unless you look carefully.” Because he suddenly felt forgetful, Qianlong hurriedly said with a smile: “Fu Ling’an came back to greet Lafayette last time. I’m also here. Lafayette loves to see him very much. Another guard, asked about his age, isn't he already eighteen years old? Nala's first four Gege have been promoted to Princess Doro; I think he can be matched as the forehead - because this matter has been ordered by the queen, it has not been discussed yet, so I haven't made an order yet. Although you are not her mother-in-law, you can do this!" Tang'er saw that Qianlong had forgotten his feelings first, and then covered it up with serious things. Knowing that Qianlong had not forgotten himself, Tang Er felt warm and warm in her heart, but also slightly sad. She brushed her temples subconsciously, and replied respectfully: " This is the honor and love of the Empress Dowager Lafayette for the dog. The courtiers and concubines are grateful, and the whole family can't be repaid. Is there any reason not to obey Yi's order? I also hope that the master and empress will bestow the marriage." After finishing speaking, she lit a candle Mrs. Fu Cha bowed down. "Get up, get up! It's negotiable." The queen smiled hurriedly, "This is the empress dowager's benevolent order, how could I not allow it? Then sister, what do you think?" Nala is the one who knows the affair between Tang'er and Qianlong best.Fu Heng's sons, Fu Ling'an and Fu Long'an, are both bodyguards. They have seen the Queen Mother every festival, and they have seen them through the curtain. Home.As the Empress Emperor said, his heart was bursting with joy.But as she experienced more and more, she knew that Qianlong and the empress liked to be stable and peaceful, so she was full of joy, so she bowed cautiously to the empress, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "My daughter is married to such a family, and a mother is not satisfied." It's all up to the master and the master's wife—" She suddenly had an idea, and said with a smile: "Master Niu, we still have a Princess Hejia! I heard that Fu Longan, the second son of the Fu family, is also seventeen or eighteen When you are old, why not marry the princess, kiss Lian En, marry En, the royal family has two more good sons-in-law, and the court will work harder for the master?" "People talk about historical reviews and think that the Eastern Han Dynasty died of foreign relatives and eunuchs." Qianlong was so happy that his face shone brightly. He stood up and walked slowly in the hall, saying: "In fact, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, several successive emperors were young emperors. The lord can't do government affairs, and everything is entrusted to the eunuch. If it wasn't for the relatives, they would have died a long time ago. The emperor was left alone, this is the Eastern Han Dynasty! Our patriarchal system in the Qing Dynasty relied on people under the banner of the Eight Banners, one fence with three stakes, one hero with three gangs, that’s what it means!" Having said that, several women looked at each other in blank dismay.None of them had read "Book of the Later Han Dynasty".But what Qianlong said about the fence posts, the Gang of Heroes, meant very clearly.Seeing Qianlong looking at the painting, the queen got off the kang with a smile and ordered Lainiang, "Take the title of the Forty Scenes of Yuanmingyuan brought by Fu Heng's family and name it for the emperor." "Yes." Lai Niang shyly agreed, and stood on tiptoe in front of the big gold leather cabinet, took down a folded leaf with plain gold thread and satin cover from the top of the cabinet, and held it to Qianlong with both hands.Qianlong took the folded leaf with one hand, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to you for being enthroned. Turn around and ask the queen to issue a decree to the Ministry of Rites and Internal Affairs Office, register your name on the golden book, and open your face to pay homage. The one who is bright and righteous is the 'Concubine Yi'." With a red face, Fuer squatted and still retreated to the queen's side.Several concubines and Tang'er saw them so lingering and charming in public, with smiles on their faces, but felt jealous in their hearts.Only then did Qianlong look at the folded leaf carefully, and saw that it read: Upright and upright, Diligent in government and virtuous, Jiuzhou Qingyan, Lu Yuekaiyun, Natural Pictures, Bitong Academy, Ciyun Puhu, Up and Down Skylight, Apricot Blossom Spring Pavilion, Open and Open, Ancient and Modern, Changchun Immortal Pavilion . Clouds, Yuyue Yuanfei, Beiyuan Mountain Village, Yafeng Beauty, Siyi Bookstore, Square Pot Scenery, Bathing Body and Virtue, Pinghu Qiuyue, Pengniao Yaotai, Unique Caves, Hanxu Langjian, Grand Duke Kuoran, Sitting on the Stone Flow, Quyuan Fenghe, Jiajing Mingqin, the depths of the cave, and the spring of heaven and earth. The following are densely packed with pavilions, such as Feiyun Pavilion, Zide Pavilion, Qinqu Pavilion, Junzi Pavilion, Chengjing Hall, Yisi Hall, Hengyun Hall, Cuifu Tower, Yingshan Tower, Mustard Pavilion, Huanbi Pavilion, Yulinglong Pavilion, Wenjia Bookstore, Huiyu Jingshe...there are hundreds of rhetoric and Chinese poems that are decorated to the utmost extent, and there is no time to catch them. Qianlong smiled and said: "This is Zhang Zhao's draft, or it is Ji Yun. Zhang Zhao's writing style is luxurious, and Ji Yun's is serious and agile. I can't tell who it is, but I can't get out of the scope of the two." "Look at the eyesight of the emperor!" The queen said with a smile to the women: "This is a match between Zhang Zhao and Ji Yun! Ji Yun is the chief writer, and Zhang Zhao is the embellisher-I told them just now that the master can definitely see it." Nala doesn't believe who wrote it!" Qianlong looked at Nala and said with a smile: "Every generation has its own style, and each person has its own taste. Poetry, music, and Fu have a personality and posture just like people. You can’t be confused with style and appearance. If you don’t believe me, you have extracted a poem from each generation from a remote book in the "Yongle Dadian". Although I don’t know who the author is, I can’t be wrong to determine which generation he is.” Button The Hulu family immediately took advantage of the situation to pour rice soup, and said with a smile: "I heard from our old man at my mother's house that there are great talents and scholars who can date poems. We have also read a few lines of poems with our brothers since we were young, and they all feel the same. , who knows that there is a lot of knowledge here?" Nala was not willing to be behind, and said: "My grandfather also said that when the holy grandfather was as old as our master, he still couldn't tell the age of poetry. We Is it not that green comes out of blue...and...and blue is in green?" Chen said with a smile: "It is green out of green and blue in blue! Then I am confused!" Nala covered her mouth and laughed , Said: "It is green from blue and green from green—Chen, you don't understand!" Several concubines are vying to please, and the words of Yan and Ying are confused.Lainiang didn't understand, she stared blankly and listened dumbly, the empress was such a solemn and dignified person, her chest trembled when she laughed, but Tang'er knew that they were trying to flatter her and tease her, so she forced a smile, feeling uncomfortable.Qianlong was amused by the favorite concubines, and said: "The real use of allusions indiscriminately! Xunzi is here, and he also taught you to confuse!" The queen laughed and said: "When you see people read the book, it's either money or prison lawsuits. Otherwise, it’s another civil and military assignment. It’s good to relax your body.” After laughing for a while, he said: “Zhang Zhao is getting old, Ji Yun carried him into the garden in a sedan chair, and watched all the way. Someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came. Ask, I said that I allowed him to sit in the sedan chair. If someone wants to be impeached, the emperor must have an idea—they are just drafting, and these names must be determined by the emperor. You also have to write it out so that the masons can engrave it. Said To be honest, although this garden is good, I still feel that the project is too big. Mrs. You Mingtang came to see me and asked, if it costs about ten trillion silver a year, how many poor people can be helped!" "My queen, there is no shortage of silver!" Qianlong said with a smile: "I know it well, this is not the construction of the Afang Palace, nor the construction of the Great Wall, and there will be no more Meng Jiangnu! Twenty trillion, take a little to repair the garden, not only for entertainment, but also to declare the majesty of my central government. How many times have I told you, don't feel sorry for this little money. You Mingtang was born in the household department in charge of money and food. Are you Kings and queens of all kingdoms must have the grace and grace of their mothers, right?" The queen was moved in her heart, and said with a smile: "The emperor is naturally far-sighted, I have nothing to say. This is like someone buying a property. All right. Food and clothing are the most important things for people in the world." Qianlong nodded in agreement, and said again: "You should all learn from the heart of the queen. Apart from the country and the people, she never thinks of enjoying herself. This is the demeanor of the mother's world - you see, she never dresses fancy , are all half-worn clothes, and the headgear doesn't have a single piece of gold, pearls and emerald jade, but it's tied with velvet flowers—I'm not saying that women are not allowed to dress up, it's natural for women to love to dress up, as long as it's in moderation." Saying that, Jian Lai The mother turned her face and covered her mouth, as if she was vomiting, and asked: "You are pale, are you feeling uncomfortable?" "I don't have this problem," Lainiang hurriedly turned around and replied, "I don't know why, I often turn my stomach—it doesn't matter, it will be fine after a while." Qianlong said with a smile: "Don't hold on when you are sick. Tell the queen, and the imperial physician will come and take two doses of spleen-invigorating medicine." Several women couldn't help smiling when they heard this.Empress Yin asked: "Is it just vomit? Do you want to eat apricots?" Lainiang looked at the empress stupidly and said, "How did your empress know? I thought about it! The green grapes on the shelf in my yard are almost gone. I think, Green grapes can cure diseases, why bother to call the imperial doctor?" Nala said with a smile: "Don't eat grapes, that thing is hot. My backyard is full of plums, and I call people to pick the green ones every day. A plate." Niu Hulu said: "I make sour plum soup there." Chen said: "I have Zhenjiang vinegar." Tang'er covered her mouth with a smile and said: "Shanxi old mature vinegar is also made..." Qizui The sour thing that was talking all over the tongue, chirping and giggling with laughter, Qianlong was startled when he heard it, and said: "What are you talking about, I was a little thirsty at first, but now I am full of saliva." The queen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Lai—the Wei Jia family has it." "Yes? Ah—" The women laughed more and more.Qianlong suddenly remembered that Tang'er was pregnant with Fukang'an, and he also quietly told himself "I want to eat sour", suddenly realized, because he looked at the queen.Mrs. Fucha understood, and said with a smile: "Words have already spread out that Wei Jia's name will be registered on the gold book, and the Ministry of Rites will send it in tomorrow. From now on, I will set up a tent for Lainiang outside the Nuan Pavilion in my palace. The eunuchs and maids temporarily Call her the lord, and have dinner with me. I will take care of her——this is a great joy, we are all happy, and we are all here to eat with the emperor!——Who has any good jokes Guji My son, it is for the emperor to have fun and relieve boredom. There is also a big happy event: the emperor is so kind and virtuous, and all the royal family members above the concubines are allowed to return to their mother's home for a time. You can send a message to your family. The Ministry of Rites will draw up a system of ceremonial guards according to the rules of Emperor Kangxi, and there will be a decree later." The crowd became more and more joyful, their faces flushed with excitement, and they knelt down to thank Qianlong. After getting up, they still looked at each other, and even though they maintained their dignified and stable postures, they still couldn't help laughing.Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "I'm here to have fun with the emperor's mistress. There is a big belly man in my grandma's farm. When he was not working as a long-term worker for my family, he once went to the father-in-law's house. Poor, I can't even eat cornmeal pancakes on weekdays. The father-in-law's family let go of the amount, and the big dumpling ate eight bowls, and the belly was so bloated." At this point, everyone laughed.The queen said: "This must be another silly son-in-law, Gu Jier." "Yes, he is not enough to count." Chen said with a smile, "——on the way home, a gust of wind blew off the straw hat on his head. When he bent down, a dumpling fell out of his mouth. This stupid big belly My son rubbed his feet, looked at it, felt very sorry, and said to himself, "Oh... If I knew it was mutton stuffing, I should have eaten two more bowls!"" Everyone roared with laughter.Qianlong was holding a cup of herbal tea, shaking with laughter.Mrs. Nala supported Lainiang's shoulders and couldn't straighten her waist. Mrs. Niu Hulu was eating ice grapes and swallowed even the kernels. Caiyun Caihui and the maids saw the queen laughing and coughing on the desk, and laughed. Put on the kang and beat her back.The Chen family was still serious, and continued: "...the straw hat can't be picked up, and he can't bear to throw it away. He is stupid and has his own stupid way. He walked all the way, kicking the straw hat all the way home. Just at the entrance of the village, he met his father. Seeing the description of his son, the old man closed his eyes with a 'snap', and scolded, 'It's worthless, it's like a watermelon, and it's not afraid of people laughing on the road!' This big belly Seeing his sister-in-law sitting under a big tree to rest, Han Yin also had a big belly, felt wronged, pointed at her and said, "You just know how to hit me, you're partial! Look how she's eating!" The crowd burst into laughter again.Qianlong laughed so hard that he pointed at Mrs. Chen, and it took him a long time to say something: "What a poor mouth! This man has become your parent's worker, and he still doesn't eat your rivers and seas?...Okay, okay...I haven't done this for a long time. Laughed, and the empress didn’t smile like this..." Passing the Hanyu pendant sandalwood folding fan in his hand, he said, "I reward people who don't write easily on the fan, this was written yesterday, I reward you!" "This is a real thing!" Mrs. Chen thanked her, and said with a smile: "My grandma's family accepts long-term workers. The first thing is to compare food. If you can't eat two catties of white flour pancakes, you don't want to be her parent worker. This person is called Chen. Second, I ate four catties of pancakes in front of the old man, wiped my mouth and said, 'I'm full, I can't scare my boss'—to say that he is stupid is not entirely true." Qianlong laughed and said: "Don't be someone who can eat but can't do it. 'You can eat two buckets of rice for one meal, and you can pick up two and a half catties, and you're sweating', right?" Chen said: "Master Zhuang, the housekeeper We all looked at him that way at first, he was a wolf, he hoeed wheat, transplanted rice seedlings, cut rice, peeled corn, and cleaned wells. He couldn't do any of these farm work. When the axle of the jack cart was broken, he could pull it up with one hand. When you are free, you can lift the sandstone to the three-pronged tree and set it up. No one can take it down. The head of the village is going to fire him. The old man said, "I have already recruited him, so it's not good to drive him out again. It may not be just a little bit." It was useless. His family had no land, and it was a sin to go back and die of starvation.” In that year, the tenants resisted the tenants, and thousands of people rushed into my grandma’s yard, and the guards of Changgong Zhuang Ding escaped without a trace. Those The poor tenants were red-eyed, and ran around the courtyard like crazy, carrying food, beating anyone, and grabbing things... Grandma was scared and paralyzed in front of the Avalokitesvara statue, and the old man was so scared that he got under the bed and hid. Only Chen Er was loyal, and he used a mulberry branch to guard the main room, and knocked down seventeen or eight rioters. Two of them rushed up the dripping eaves, and he carried one with each hand, and threw them straight to the pool three feet away. Inside... After the incident, the old man appropriated 30 acres of land, a house, Qingwo complete farm tools, and gave it to his family, and rewarded a girl to allocate it to Chen Er, and their family is living again!" When she spoke at first, people still laughed, but after hearing it, they were awed, and they were silently thinking.Qianlong was also terrified and moved. After a long time, he sighed: "This is a general's material. It was buried in the crop yard. Your master is not confused and has water in his eyes. If you want to listen to the small talk and drive him out, maybe he will lead the tenants to resist the rent. He is the leader! You are from Fujian, right? There is too much annexation of the land there, and there are many big owners. If you don’t pay attention, there will be conflicts between the owners and the tenants. If you don’t do it, there will be big troubles. And it’s close to Taiwan, facing the sea , made a case and hid on the ship, became a pirate again, wrote to your old man, don’t mention these words, just say that this matter is well handled. The imperial court issued an edict to persuade the tenants to reduce the rent, which seems to be aimed at the tenants In fact, it is still better for the owner. If the tenant rent is reduced, there will be fewer things to resist the rent, and it will not lead to long-term peace and prosperity? It is not merciful to lead a crowd to make trouble, and one leader kills the other! What is said in the beginning is the truth, what is said in the back is the rule, and it cannot be ignored." He spoke at length and eloquently, with earnestness and sincerity, and everyone bowed their heads in admiration.The queen smiled and asked Tang'er: "Last time, we said that we would reduce the rent to 40% in several villages in our family. Have you done it? Fu Heng is busy, so you need to take care of these things." Tang'er hurriedly said: "It was reduced the year before last. Madam, don't worry, nothing will happen again. Our heavenly family is dear, and Fu Heng has received such kindness from the master, and I don't want to be a miser." Chen hurriedly said: "I will write a letter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs tonight. Take me back with the official document from the post station. My natal family also has to reduce the rent!" Niu Hulu said: "My natal family also has several large manors, and I also want to reduce some rent and tribute. Money is something outside of the body, and it becomes a burden if you accumulate too much!" "That's right!" Nala was afraid that others would run out of good things to say, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "My family's money was also reduced last year. I said a common saying to my brothers: My son is better than me, what do you want money for?" My son is not as good as me, so what if I have money?—they will lose it!" “我儿比我强，要钱做甚么？我儿不如我，有钱又如何？——这话说得好！”乾隆鼓掌大笑，“比孔夫子说的'富贵于我如浮云'还要实在耐味儿——传膳！今晚好高兴！”
