Chapter 36 Thirty-sixth round of protection short, greedy, arrogant and handsome

On the Buddha Bathing Festival on the eighth day of April, the Military Aircraft Department received a memorial to Fu Heng from Shanxi to report victory with a red flag. At the same time, it received a memorial from Sichuan Governor Zhang Guangsi to impeach Fu Heng for his military exploits and to punish the commander-in-chief of the army.Neqin was a little at a loss when he received these two documents, so he hurriedly ordered Xiaoluzi to invite Zhang Tingyu outside the Xihua Gate to discuss how to enter the performance.Xiaoluzi turned around and came back within a moment, saying that Zhang Tingyu had entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation by order.Neqin thought about it, this kind of booklet was the most concerned by Qianlong, and he couldn't write abridged ones, so he ordered the eunuch on duty at the military plane to go in and report, "Please see the emperor if you have something important to do. Waiting to be summoned. Not long after, Gao Wuyong came out to deliver an order: "The emperor calls in. "

"Yes." Neqin bowed and agreed, followed Gao Wuyong in, and asked as he walked, "Is Zhang Xiang at the emperor's place?" Gao Wuyong smiled and said, "Not only Zhang Xiang, but Ertai Xianggong is also inside! You want I'm not on duty today, so I have to go in." Neqin hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Gao Wuyong smiled at Neqin, and said: "How do we slaves know about the master's affairs?" Knowing that he was cautious, Naqin didn't ask any more questions, and followed Gao Wuyong until Dan Majesty, and before he could sign up, he listened to Qianlong. In Dongnuan Pavilion, he said: "Is it Neqin who is here? Come in!"

"Greetings to the master!" Because he saw Qianlong every day, the Minister of Military Aircraft was exempted from kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times. Neqin threw up his horseshoe sleeves and knelt down to salute. He said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Ertai went to the old ministers first, and they all sat on the edge of the kang, nodding to Neqin.Qianlong smiled and said: "The two prime ministers are fighting with me! You came just in time. Today is the Buddha Bathing Festival, and the Queen Mother has a decree, asking me to lead the ministers in the study and the military aircraft department to accompany her to the Great Buddha Temple to offer incense and bathe the Buddha. . Do you think it is feasible?"

Neqin was stunned for a moment, and then noticed that Qianlong was dressed neatly today: a white silk tasseled crown on his head, a camel-colored single satin gown, a white jade hook and a ponytail button belt, a fasting card around his waist, and an overcoat of the gown. A stone blue Kesi single gold dragon gown, and blue satin cool-leather soap boots under the feet are also new.Naqin thought that these two scholars must be admonishing him not to believe in Buddhism, so he deliberately turned aside and said with a smile: "The servant has a more important happy event. I have played the role of the master. We can discuss the rest, can it be done?" Fu Heng's memorial was handed over.

"Well, it's Fu Heng's." Qianlong took it over and weighed it, and said with a smile: "Fu Heng will either not write it for a while, or write it as a ten-thousand-word book." The minister Fu Heng knelt down and played "Dangping Heicha Mountain Tuotuo Peak White Lotus Sect Bandit Over 5,000 Bandits Capture Qu Kui Piao Gao Shi Alive".Before I could read it, I was already overjoyed, so I asked for tea, and read each page carefully.The three military ministers watched from the sidelines, and saw that Qianlong sometimes frowned, sometimes had a gloomy face, sometimes closed his eyes in thought, and sometimes sighed.When the time shifted, he gently pushed the memorial, walked down the ground, and murmured: "More than five thousand people! There are five thousand people? This?... "There is still a copy," Neqin muttered and said: "It's Zhang Guangsi, governor of Sichuan, who also said this. As Neqin said, he handed over Zhang Guangsi's booklet. Qianlong took it and looked at it with no expression on his face. He folded the two papers and said to Zhang Tingyu and Ertai: "You guys also have a look. " Ask Neqin: "What do you think of this matter? "

Neqin kowtowed and replied: "This matter is easy to distinguish. It should be ordered that Fu Heng and Zhang Guangsi come to Beijing, and they will tear up the innocence in person." Zhang Guangsi's bullets are very short, and Zhang Tingyu has already read them. Hearing this, he said : "Neqin's suggestion will not work. Our army has won a complete victory. I will tell the subjects of the world that rewarding meritorious ministers is the first priority. It is common to cut generals before the battle, and we should not forget the big for the sake of smallness." Ertai thought while reading the notebook, and said: "Zhang Guangsi is far away in Sichuan, and the distance from Heicha Mountain is about the same as our Beijing. He also wrote this notebook because he heard some nonsense and favored his old subordinates. Zhang Tingyu said: "Zhang Guangsi also said that Fan Gaojie was blocked by 5,000 bandits, not including the enemies surrounding Lin County. It seems that the 5,000 bandits are true."

"Fu Hengjuan has no reason to deceive me." Qianlong suddenly thought of Fu Heng's first memorial and Yunti's words at that time, and admired Yunti's prediction of the enemy thousands of miles in his heart, and said coldly: "From the fact that Fu Heng recommended Li Shiyao, You know that Fu Heng is not a person who is greedy for merit. An imperial envoy who dares to act decisively, borrows five hundred troops and horses, directly attacks unexpected places, destroys Piao Gao's old nest, and rescues the camp. Fu Heng has the style of a general!" The emperor has his own opinion, so it's easy to talk about it below.Zhang Tingyu said with a smile: "Master, you can see clearly that Piao Gao was captured alive. If you go to Beijing for the first trial, who is right and who is wrong will be innocent?" Qianlong pondered for a while, and said: "I am very familiar with this Li Shiyao. It seems like I've heard of it..." Naqin laughed when he heard it: "Master forgot. His little pass is still sealed by the imperial mouth! It was selected by Wansui from the falling papers, and there is 'Weng Zhong' in it." Written as 'Zhong Weng' by mistake..."

"Is it him?" A spark flashed in Qianlong's eyes, and then he laughed, "It seems that I have a good appreciation after all! He is such a talent! Well, since 'Pan Tong' did a good job, Fu Heng commissioned him to do it' Consultant said, "I will approve it. You send a letter to Fu Heng, add the title of Li Shiyao's servant, and walk in front of him, bring it when you report on your duties, and I will summon it in person." Zhang Tingyu pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, the Tuotuo Peak is already military, and the political appeasement must follow. Linxian, Xingxian, Lanxian, and Xixian are remote places, and local officials have acted recklessly, extorting money and filling their pockets. The incitement is actually because the people have no food and clothing and have no choice but to follow the thieves. If the emperor acts benevolently and opens warehouses to release food, the trouble will disappear. There are so many thieves in these places, and if one is not careful, trouble will arise. According to the taboo, the crime of robbery will be imminent The magistrates of three counties, Xing, Lan, were dismissed from their posts and returned home, and ordered Taiyuan to allocate 300,000 shi of grain to the local poor. With food to eat, the people would not rebel even if the bad guys persuaded them."

"It's really old-fashioned to seek the country!" Qianlong was so happy that his eyes lit up. He turned to Kang and picked up his pen happily, and wrote an edict on Fu Heng's notebook, saying in his mouth: "Zhang Guangsi will not pursue it anymore. His notebook will not be published. When I report on my work in the future, I will have a good talk with him, and you will accompany me to see Lafayette in a while, and talk about this, the old man may be very happy!" When it came to accompanying the emperor to worship and bathe the Buddha, the three ministers were silent.Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, it has been passed down for four generations. Since Shunzhi’s mother Borjizit, almost all the concubines in the harem worshiped and believed in Buddhism. Among the emperors, Shunzhi and Yongzheng also believed in Buddhism.It's just that these two emperors who believed in Buddhism were both "great" and unclear.King Zhang Ting is a master of Confucianism. Although Ertai and Neqin are Manchus, they also have profound attainments in Sinology. The three of them disapprove of this matter from the bottom of their hearts.However, Qianlong was hesitant to worship Buddha from his mother because he was "filial".Startled for a while.Neqin said: "The slave is on duty at the military plane and comes in temporarily to play something. The emperor has no other orders. The slave has to go back. I dare not miss the state affairs." Ertai also said: "Just now is the emperor's order. Those counties For relief, the former county magistrate has to remove the seal, and the official department has to select a few capable people to fill the vacancies. The slaves have to discuss these matters with the official department and the household department, and tomorrow they will hand over the plaque to the emperor." Zhang Tingyu also laughed: "Your Majesty, The slave is old and his waist and legs are hard. The emperor is the Buddha of this life, but he still has pity on the old bones of the slave. He can't kneel and knock nine times in the hall. Those Buddhas in the afterlife, with ceramic bodies, are silent, blind, No food for three meals, no movement of the four limbs, abnormal facial features, no reliance on relatives, no understanding of the seven senses, majesty in all directions, sitting still for a long time (9) is very useless, not only does the slave not believe it, but he really can't bow down to this waist, begging the emperor to be a rabbit This slave suffers."

"Okay." Qianlong laughed when he heard it, "When it comes to worshiping Buddha, it really feels like a rebellion. The cow does not drink water and presses the head, and I don't force others. In fact, I don't believe in Buddha myself. Lafayette is People always love to be lively, and want to make more merit, so I want to take you with me. Some of you are 'something', some of you are 'sick', and I can explain to her old man. But you think for me I have an idea, Lafayette must kneel to wash the Buddha when he arrives at Zhongcui Palace. Will I be kneeling or standing?"

The three ministers all laughed when they heard this.Neqin said: "This is easy to handle. The master faces the queen mother, and the queen mother salutes the master. Don't move. After the queen mother's Buddhist service is over, the master will give the queen mother a big gift. She has done her best. The queen mother will not pick the emperor's gift. Qianlong had no choice but to He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Kneel down and go! " After the three of them filed out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Qianlong removed the court clothes.In fact, the emperor does not need to wear court clothes to meet close ministers in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.He originally wanted to please his mother, so he took him to the study room and went in with the Minister of Military Aircraft Department to pay homage to Guanyin Bodhisattva.Now that everyone does not follow the edict, it feels nondescript to wear this outfit, so they only wear camel satin robes inside, tie a crouching dragon bag, put an azurite buttoned vest on the outside, and move out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.As soon as he left the Chuhua Gate, he saw Yun Lu, Yun Hung, Hong Zhou, Hong Xi, Hong Xiao and his uncles and brothers waiting at the door.They also obeyed Yi's decree and accompanied the emperor to the Ci Ning Palace to meet the Empress Dowager.This group of people were all dressed in court dresses, and when they saw the emperor dressed up, they couldn't help but all knelt down to pay their respects. "Forget it." Qianlong said with a smile, "Follow me to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to the Lafayette. We wish the Buddha and Bodhisattva Buba a good life and a healthy life for her. Those who believe in Buddhism can go with her to bathe in Buddha rituals. Feel free to do other things." Yun Lu was surprised to hear that Qianlong's tone was very different from the edict issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs that "all princes, ministers, clansmen and nobles will accompany the emperor to accompany the queen mother to worship Buddha".When he was about to ask, Qianlong had already walked forward, and everyone had no choice but to follow him to the Palace of Compassion. The Compassionate Ning Palace is already full of court wives.Lily incense is burned in the bronze cranes, tortoises and tripods in the courtyard.This group of women was all dressed up beautifully, but they didn't stand on shifts. They ordered them to have good friends on weekdays, and they gathered together to whisper.Some are pious, and take a lot of incense to add to the imperial furnace, some are not sociable, stand alone and think, wandering around with thoughts, and those who have never seen the emperor want to pay homage to the sky, peeking around in circles Hanging flower door.Except for a few respectable wives who helped the Queen Mother arrange incense mountings in the palace, and talked with the Queen and noble concubines with the Queen Mother.As soon as Qianlong entered the Chuihua Gate, he said with a smile: "This is the fairyland of the Queen Mother of the West, so many fairies!" Said: "Slaves and servants greet the master!" "Okay, okay, get up! It doesn't matter the national ceremony today." Qianlong waved the bamboo fan of the Concubine Xiang with clay gold in his hand, and smiled amiably: "Dharma is equal, we are all incense burners!" Everyone got up one after another, Qianlong As he walked towards the hall, he searched for Tang'er with his eyes, but he didn't see it. It was expected that he didn't come, so he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.In a blink of an eye, he saw a woman in her forties kneeling in front of the copper tortoise, adding fragrance bit by bit, but it was Tweety, so Qianlong walked over and said softly, "Tweety..." "Tweety..." Seeing that Tweety's face was tear-stained, Qianlong added incense silently, but he didn't hear himself speak, so he called softly.Cui'er turned her face away suddenly, only to see that the emperor was talking to her, she was startled, she hurriedly wiped her tears and kowtowed: "It's the emperor! You are auspicious..." Qianlong gave his hand a little help, and said: "Get up, your Qianxin has arrived. Compared with the last time I saw you, you are more emaciated." Cui'er got up, squatted down another blessing to Qianlong, and sighed: "Li Wei's illness is getting worse. Originally, I couldn't get away these few days. I wanted to borrow the master's blessing to help him get rid of the disaster. I heard that the master also followed the queen mother. I’m really happy to go to bathe the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.” Qianlong’s heart sank: he planned to ask the queen mother to go there, but he couldn’t help hesitating—the husbands of these wives are all important officials on internal and external errands.Everyone wants to borrow their own emperor's favor, it seems inappropriate to spoil their interest too much.Thinking that he had changed his mind, he smiled and said loudly: "Look, I brought such a large group of princes, Baylor, and Beizi to pray for you, isn't it enough?—Come on, Tweety, you haven't seen Lafayette yet!" Right? Let's go in together." In the hall, the Fucha family, Nala family and more than a dozen concubines, as well as Prince Zhuang, Prince Yi, Prince Li, Prince Gong, Prince Guo's Fujin and Zhang Tingyu, and the wives of the ministers in the study room were all accompanying the Queen Mother to talk about karma and retribution. The emperor was talking outside, and when he saw him bring a group of people in, they all knelt down in unison.Qianlong caught a glimpse of Tang'er before he knew she was in the hall.The eyes of the two people flashed and they understood.Qianlong knelt down to the queen mother who was sitting on the kang, and said: "My son takes advantage of today's good life, and wish mother a happy life and good health!" "May the queen mother live in good health!" The princes echoed in unison like parrots. Tang'er, who was kneeling under Nala's head, suddenly thought of the tryst under the moon that night, when Qianlong personally named the child in his womb "Fu Ankang". He whispered in his ear: "Siblings, have you seen that the Emperor's Wolong bag needlework with golden thread is so good! It's the same as the one you pierced your nephew last time!" Retaliating, but afraid of leading to a new story, I had to keep my head down and say nothing.The queen mother laughed and said: "Get up, the emperor, and his sixteenth uncle and tenth uncle. I recognize some of these juniors, and some I don't recognize. Our royal family is like this. Speaking of grandpa's grandson Hundreds!" Turning to Qianlong again, he said, "Emperor, do all of your brothers have errands?" "More than half of them have no errands." Qianlong thought about what his mother said, probably he wanted to distribute errands to these clan brothers himself, which is absolutely impossible.He glanced at Prince Zhuang Fujin who was standing beside his mother, and said slowly: "However, the country has a system, and the prince's son, county king, Baylor, and Beizi's sons have monthly regulations. There is enough money and food—isn’t it Aunt Sixteen?” Fujin Shiliu had already seen the emperor’s eyes, and hurriedly echoed: “Lafayette is kind, the emperor’s kindness is higher than the sky! How can you be poor? Our Tian family's flesh and blood!" The queen mother smiled and said, "It's good to have it. Last time, I don't know which niece and daughter-in-law brought a little grandson in to say hello. I'm sorry to see that child eat some snacks, gobble it up, and say to me, 'I haven't had any in my life. I’ve seen such delicious food’. He said that his husband is not on a job. This is really distressing. Later, I told the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange for him. I don’t know if it will be done. Sigh..." Yun Lu was listening to these chatter, impatient and hard to say, hurriedly said: "I know this matter, he is the nephew of the old Dongjun King's family, and he has been placed as the Secretary of the Department of Banner Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When the time comes, the Queen Mother will also It’s time to start driving, don’t miss out on paying homage to the Buddha.” Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the Queen Mother smiled and said: “You don’t understand Buddhism, what I’m talking about here is a serious matter. It’s been almost a hundred years since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, and we don’t have the pre-school system of enfeoffment , There are more and more royal family members. If there are poor people, the ancestors will feel uneasy. The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas see that we can't even take care of our own relatives, so you kowtow a thousand heads and burn ten thousand stone incense. Will you bless us? " "Mother taught you very well!" Qianlong laughed, "This matter is not a trivial matter, and it is also related to the dignity of the country. My son will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to draw up an order tomorrow, and I will take it to the upper study to issue an order, so the clan will not be poor. Today, my mother is happy, and my son will donate one hundred thousand taels of silver from the inner city first, which can be regarded as the son's filial piety and the mother's merit!" The queen mother laughed and wrinkled her face: "What merits do I have? Why don't I beg the Buddha to bless the country and the people for you!" Seeing his mother's joy, Qianlong wanted to please her more. He glanced at Tang'er who was close in front of him, and said: "That's not true! I had a good dream last night. Let me first say that Fu Heng brought hundreds of soldiers to a very dangerous place to suppress thieves. There are densely packed white Taiji pictures in all directions. Thief, I saw that there was black water against the waves all around, and there was a demon man with hair and sword using demon skills, trying to trap Fu Heng to death on Tuo Tuo Peak. My son was sweating all over. He couldn’t wake up even if he wanted to wake up—— I know it's a dream!" When he said this, the empress dowager's concubines were all stunned, Tang'er turned pale and stared at Qianlong, Weng moved his lips, wanting to ask, but didn't dare.The queen mother asked with concern: "Then what happened after that?" "Later..." Qianlong babbled nonsense triumphantly, "...my son was drenched in sweat when he heard someone say, 'Master, don't panic. I can't hurt him!" The son turned his face to look, and there was a woman in white in the cloud for a long time, holding a bottle in her hand, swinging it like this with a willow branch, the water droplets spilled out, and a few drops fell on her son, it was really refreshing! Looking at Fu Heng, there seemed to be a flash of light, and the monsters fell to the ground one after another, and some fell into the Heishui River and struggled. The old thief was nailed to a chair and could not move. He was bleeding from all his orifices for a while, and he was dead. The son woke up with a start, and said loudly: "Fu Heng, take that thief!" He sat up and realized that it was midnight..." As Qianlong was speaking, a group of women had closed their eyes with palms together. He said something, and the queen mother recited a sentence of Buddha, and said solemnly: "Son, this dream is bad first and then good. The people, punishing the evil and rewarding the good, are not at all happy!" Qianlong laughed secretly in his heart.Last night he watched the Shanxi governor's memorial to support Fu Heng Yinshang, and Fu Heng thought about Tang'er again, meeting Tang'er in a dream, there is something absurd about making love.He made up such a story.Qianlong went on to say: "What's even more surprising is that Fu Heng received the news that Fu Heng stepped up to the red flag early this morning. Fu Heng was successful, broke through the enemy's stronghold, wiped out 5,000 enemies, and captured the bandit leader Piao Gao alive. He is coming to Beijing from Taiyuan— —Isn’t this incident closely related to last night’s dream?” "Amitabha!" The Empress Dowager stood up with her palms together, and chanted loudly: "Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva! This favor must be repaid. I will give 20,000 taels of silver, 10,000 will be donated to the Great Buddha Temple, and 10,000 will be given to the Bodhisattva to decorate the Bell Palace." Add incense!" Tang'er kowtowed to the queen mother and said, "Master, this dream is related to slaves and men. The slaves dare not stand shoulder to shoulder with the Lafayette, and they will pay 10,000 yuan to follow the Lafayette to receive blessings. They will stay in Zhongcui Palace and fast for a day to repay the Bodhisattva's blessing. !" Seeing that his mother was trembling and about to go out, Qianlong hurriedly stepped forward to support her with both hands and went out of the hall together. All the women kneeling in the courtyard kowtowed and kowtowed.Qianlong carefully asked the empress, "Mother, go to the Great Buddha Temple first, or the Zhongcui Palace first?" "Go to the Great Buddha Temple first to offer incense," said the queen mother, "come back to Zhongcui Palace, Fu Heng's family will make meritorious deeds, since it is fasting, they will make fragrant soup for bathing Buddha in Zhongcui Palace—Tang'er, you have a body , Just sit there and watch, it’s all handled by someone, and it’s also a merit for you to talk about cause and effect with the aunts there.” That night, Qianlong said that he was looking at the brochures, but he didn't turn over the sign to call someone. After waiting for a watch, Qianlong ordered Gao Wuyong to light a lamp, said to go out to relax, and walked around the Qianqingmen, but went north from Dongyong Lane It went in a big circle.Passing by Zhongcui Palace, Qianlong seemed to suddenly think of something, and said with a smile, "I almost forgot that yesterday the Dalai Lama paid tribute to ten Tibetan incense sticks, which are for the Bodhisattva here. Cui Gong is waiting—and the box next to the Tibetan incense, also brought here, I am useful—don’t let others know, understand?” Gao Wuyong followed Qianlong all day today, what is there that he doesn’t “understand”?He hurriedly agreed to go.Here Qianlong casually walked into Zhongcui Palace. The name of Zhongcui Palace is "Palace", but it is actually a small Buddhist hall specially set up for the Empress Dowager and Empress.During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Aunt Su Ma practiced here. Since she passed away, there has been no monks.In order to make this place look like a place of Buddha, Kangxi ordered in his later years to choose some mild-tempered and calm maids to come here as errands. They still eat fast, do Buddhist ceremonies, and still dress as nuns. After three years, they will no longer be sent to the harem. go home.Therefore, although it is a bit poor, everyone is willing to come.The person picked is naturally smarter.Several big "nuns" in charge led the crowd to beat fish and rocks for evening class. When they saw the emperor suddenly coming alone, they panicked and hurriedly stopped the ceremony to greet him.Qianlong smiled and waved his hands, and said, "I'm happy if you do your homework. I'm here this morning. I didn't have to look at the Buddha statue properly. I'm a little restless. I'll go to Guanyin and make a wish—go!" Those court ladies had no choice but to obey their orders and go to the Xipei Hall to chant sutras and make offerings.Qianlong rinsed his mouth with tea, thought for a while, and took a plate of silver silk rose cake and walked into the Buddhist hall.However, the yellow curtains that had been smudged in the past have taken on a new look. The desks, stoves, screens, seats in the hall, kneeling mats, futons... the pillars and the terrazzo floor have all been scrubbed spotlessly.Standing on the lotus platform, a white jade Guanyin as tall as one person is holding a willow bottle in one hand and snapping his fingers in the other. With kind and dignified eyes, he watches the cigarette curling up in the furnace with a mysterious smile.Qianlong saw Tang'er slumped on the futon with her eyes closed.He tiptoed over, gently placed the plate of cakes on the tea table beside her, stepped back carefully, and stared at the Guanyin statue with folded hands.After a long time, I muttered a prayer: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, bless me with immeasurable dharma power, Daqing, the country, the people, the river, Qinghaiyan, bless me to become a perfect person through the ages..." "It's the emperor, you're here!" Tang'er heard a man praying, and opened her eyes to see that it was Qianlong.His eyes flashed with joy, and when he was about to get up to worship, Qianlong had hurried over and put his hands on her shoulders.Qianlong smiled and said: "I know you are fasting here today to pray for blessings. I can't sit still over there, so come and have a look." Tang'er blushed, glanced at Qianlong, then lowered her eyes and said, "Zuo is just an ordinary Woman, what do you want to see?" Qianlong held her shoulders with one hand, and stroked her forehead, cheeks and warm lips with the other, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Tang'er, I love you...I love the son you are carrying..." Tang'er's eyes Tears rolled down, and he murmured: "Today, I regretted my sins in front of the Bodhisattva... But my child, he is not guilty..." "You are not guilty either." Qianlong sighed, " If you want to be guilty, it is naturally me. Don’t say that I am the emperor, even if I am a petty doctor, there is absolutely no reason for a woman to bear it——Listen to me, it’s impossible not to eat, you use up this plate of snacks, count You didn't eat it, it's my son who ate it..." His eyes were also a little moist. "You didn't eat it, it was my son who ate it..." "Master..." Tang'er was dizzy for a while, and fell into Qianlong's broad and strong arms all of a sudden, "I am really guilty, sometimes I think I am really blessed, my heart is bitter, sweet, sad and happy... what you said today That dream, thinking about the things I heard, I was terrified—” As he was speaking, Gao Wuyong came in, Tang’er struggled to get away, but Qianlong held it down, “No, that’s fine ——Gao Wuyong, put that bag of things here, you will light Tibetan incense for me, and retreat outside to wait on you." After Gao Wuyong withdrew, Qianlong smiled and said: "What are you afraid of them? Their life and death are honor and disgrace in my mind—are you afraid that Fu Heng will die for the country?" Pushing the big paper bag again, he said : "This is donkey-hide gelatin brought in by the governor of Shandong Province. It uses real well water and real Yimeng donkey skin. The gelatin is boiled by the true heir of the Hu family's donkey-hide gelatin! Go back and eat slowly..." "I'm not afraid of him dying for the country," Tang'er shook her head with a wry smile, "The baby is about to be born. As soon as he is born, I'm not afraid of Fu Heng killing me." Qianlong smiled and said, "Hey! You are not even afraid of death, what are you afraid of?" "Gossip." Tang'er's face turned pale, "There are a lot of gossips outside. They said that the late emperor died uncomprehendingly, that you were not filial, and that you wanted to kill Fu Heng and occupy me—" Qianlong's hand trembled suddenly, and when he was about to ask carefully, Gao Wuyong hurried in and said, "Master, the imperial concubine is here to offer evening incense, and she is almost at the gate of Zhongcui Palace!" Tang'er pushed Qianlong away and sat back to the original place, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, go quickly!" "It doesn't matter, why are you afraid of her?" Qianlong patted the top of Tang'er's head lightly, and said with a smile, "It's true that Nala is a little jealous, and I can't say anything else. I will give you justice in front of her today, see How is she?" After saying that, she sat on the chair beside the futon, hugged Tang'er who was trembling with shock, gently stroked her hair, and said in her mouth, "Is there me? I'm not afraid..."
