Chapter 184 Mother and Son Monarch and Minister (19-2)

Luan Yu arrived at Zhengyang Gate at just one o'clock in the afternoon, and was scheduled to enter Daqing Gate at two o'clock auspiciously.The journey takes less than an hour, and there is a way to pass the time. Take advantage of the convenience of burning incense at the Guandi Temple, and wait there for enough time before boarding the sedan chair. The family law of the Qing Dynasty paid special respect to the martial sage Guan Gong.As early as when Shenyang was established as the capital, a temple was built for Guan Gong.The ancestors entered the customs and were relocated outside Di'anmen, where the temple was built in the capital. In the case of "four matches", a doctor of the Five Classics is awarded, and hereditary inheritance.

However, the Guandi Temple outside Di'anmen is less magical than the Guandi Temple outside Zhengyangmen.This temple is on the right side of Yuecheng and was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.According to legend, Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty was practicing Taoism in Xiyuan. Because the dharma body in the Guandi Temple in the forbidden center was too small, he ordered the carpenter to carve another big statue.After the completion of the work, when preparing for the Yi Xiang, he ordered someone to ask a divination. The divination said that the old statue had been incensed for hundreds of years, and it had remarkable supernatural powers, so it was unlucky to discard it.Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty thought so, so he built a new temple on the right side of Yuecheng in Zhengyangmen, and banned the old statue of Emperor Guan, and moved it to receive incense.When Li broke through the capital, Da Nei was robbed, and the whereabouts of the new statue were unknown, but it was not as good as the old one.

It is even more important to occupy an important location, so the incense is flourishing.Every time the Empress Dowager Cixi came in and out of the front gate, she would burn incense in this temple. The police were heavily guarded inside and outside the city gate, but this time was an exception. On the tower of Zhengyangmen, there were people condescending, looking down on every move of the Empress Dowager Cixi in a majestic manner. . It is conceivable that no one would dare except foreigners, and because they are foreigners, no one can do anything to them.King Qing could only sweat with apprehension, hoping that the foreigners would be silent, and that the Empress Dowager Cixi would not find out, so that he could be exempted from the responsibility of questioning who should be charged with this "disrespect".

When entering the temple, the Empress Dowager Cixi didn't notice it because all the foreigners gathered on the moon city. Even after the salute was over and she had enough rest, when she left the temple and raised her eyes a little, the foreigners were already in sight.All the officials in the crowd changed their faces, anticipating that the Empress Dowager Cixi would be furious, even if it was inconvenient to attack at that time, that ashen complexion was scary enough! I don't know!The Empress Dowager Cixi took a look and couldn't help smiling, just like those kind and happy old ladies who see young people being mischievous.Then, he lowered his head and got on the sedan chair pretending not to see him.

※ ※ ※ The chief minister looked at his watch all the way, directed the steps of the public, and set the time accurately. At two o'clock, he entered the Duanmen, which was the main entrance of the Forbidden City.So pass the Jinshui Bridge through the Meridian Gate and enter the Taihe Gate, follow the east side of the three main halls, to the rear left gate, the outer dynasty will end here, and then go inside, you will be the "inner court", and those who are not on the "inner court walk" mission , not allowed. The Empress Dowager Cixi changed her soft sedan chair here, went east to Jingyun Gate, crossed Fengxian Hall, and entered Xiqing Gate, which is the area of ​​Ningshou Palace.Empress Dowager Cixi saw that the Nine Dragon Wall was standing unharmed in the sedan chair, and she couldn't help but feel mixed with sorrow and joy, and her eyes became hot.

The emperor and his close relatives and nobles rushed to the front of Huangji gate to pick them up while the Empress Dowager Cixi was changing sedan chairs at the rear left gate. When the soft sedan chair passed by, only the emperor followed. It's a very different scene. It turned out that the palace family members knelt here to meet them, and the Empress Dowager Cixi also got off the sedan chair here.The leader was the imperial concubine Rongqing, who lost the battle with the Mongol empress Alut during the reign of Tongzhi. When she saw the Empress Dowager Cixi, she only shouted: "Lafayette!" speak up.

"Unexpectedly, we girls can still meet!" Empress Dowager Cixi reluctantly said this, and smiled with tears in her eyes: "We are reunited after all. Everyone should be happy." As soon as this remark came out, naturally no one dared to cry anymore, but they all followed the usual rules with red eyes, followed silently, and went straight to Le Shoutang. Only when entering the hall is a formal salute, which is not a proper etiquette.Half of the Empress Dowager Cixi fled in a hurry last year, and her painful memories were too deep, and she urgently needed to vomit. This conversation lasted for an entire hour, and it didn't come to an end until the time of dinner.Only then did the Empress Dowager Cixi realize that a very important person was not present.

"Where's Concubine Yu?" "Grand Concubine Yu is ill." Imperial Concubine Dunyi hurriedly replied: "She asked the slave to ask for leave from Lafayette, the slave deserves to die, and forgot to play." "What disease?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked with concern: "Could it be that you are too sick to get out of bed?" This made it difficult for Imperial Concubine Dunyi to answer.Imperial Concubine Yu is not seriously ill, but for some unknown reason, she said that she could not welcome the Empress Dowager respectfully, and asked her to perform on her behalf.If she told the truth at this time, the Empress Dowager Cixi would definitely be angry, and maybe there would be a big storm. Thinking of the time of suffering, thanks to Concubine Yu's maintenance, she couldn't bear to let her be condemned.Besides, among the concubines who stay in the palace, their status is the most respected. If Concubine Yu can pick her up but not, she should be called.As it is now, I am also responsible.

Thinking about it this way, I could only bite the bullet and answer: "Yes!" "So sick!" Empress Dowager Cixi shouted, "Lianying, go and see Imperial Concubine Yu! Does it matter?Show me the prescription. " Li Lianying agreed, and then went to Jingyang Palace where Concubine Yu lived. When the maids saw that it was Li Lianying, they all surrounded him and called him "Uncle Li". They were full of surprises and wanted to hear the story of Xishou in the two palaces. "I don't have time to chat with you right now." Li Lianying waved her hands wildly and said, "Go and tell your master quickly, and tell me that Lafayette asked me to come and see, why is Concubine Yu so sick that she can't get up?"

"Too sick to get out of bed?" A court lady replied, "Uncle Li, go and see for yourself!" "Why?" Li Lianying was surprised, "Is Concubine Yu not sick?" After entering the hall, Concubine Yu was sitting there very upright, Li Lianying didn't know what to say?Instead, it was Concubine Yu who spoke first: "Lian Ying, did Lafayette ask you to come?" "Yes!" Li Lianying said: "The imperial concubine Dunyi played back to the Lafayette, saying that the master is ill and cannot pick him up. The Lafayette is very concerned."

"Thank you, Lafayette, for thinking about it. It's really not a serious illness, just a little cold and a little cough. However, I can't pick you up, so I have to say I'm sick." "Yes!" Li Lianying asked: "How should I play back to Lafayette when I go back?" "I ask you to tell Lafayette why I can't pick up the car." "yes!" "Here," Concubine Yu looked up, "Look." Li Lianying looked in and saw three yellow satin bundles on the long table in front of her. She couldn't remember what it was for a while, and stood there silently. "Open it and have a look!" Li Lianying agreed to go forward, and as soon as her hand touched the yellow burden, she immediately thought, "Is it Yuxi?" He looked at Concubine Yu and asked. "Yes, it's Yuxi." The jade seals of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were hidden between the Qianqing Palace and the Kunning Palace, with a total of twenty-five squares.According to legend, the most important one is the second-ranked tourmaline in the "Baopu" made by Emperor Gaozong. It is four inches and four inches square, and one inch and one inch thick. It is regarded as the national seal.At this moment, it is offered in the middle of the long table.The other two parties, one is the "Empress Dowager's Treasure" made of white jade Panlongniu, and the other is the "Queen's Treasure" cast in gold. "I'm guarding these three jade seals and dare not leave, so I can't pick up Lafayette. Lianying, please make an apology for me in front of Lafayette. " Upon hearing this, Li Lianying couldn't help saying in her heart, this master is a good character!In fact, just guarding these three jade seals, there is no reason why they cannot leave.She did this on purpose, just to show that she shouldered a heavy responsibility. If you think about it, the two palaces are west hunting, there is no owner in the big house, and protecting the Chuan Guoxie is equivalent to guarding the country passed down from the ancestors and keeping the emperor's seat.Mo Dao's jade seal is useless, and the covenants made with other countries must be counted on the use of treasures.In this way, Concubine Yu's contribution is really not small. So Li Lianying Zhuang Rong said: "The servant knows. The servant must play back to the Lafayette carefully. The ancestors have accumulated virtues. At that time, they were able to leave the master and take care of the big things. The Lafayette will definitely not bury the great achievements of the master." "I can't talk about credit." Concubine Yu said reservedly: "As long as I can hand over the three jade seals to Lafayette, I will be worthy of myself." "Yes! Yes!" Li Lianying greeted her and said, "The servant will go back to Lafayette immediately." Said, took two steps back, turned around and left. "Slow down! Lianying, I still have something to ask you." "Yes!" Li Lianying stood still. "Concubine Zhen's body is still in the well. Is there something to do with it?" Li Lianying didn't dare to answer these words casually, "I heard that there is grace." He said, "As for how to dispose of the corpse, I haven't heard about it. I think it will always be picked up and buried. But..." "Do you have anything else to say?" "It's been so many days! I don't know if the corpse is broken or not." "It's not broken! If it's broken, there will be a smell." Concubine Yu said, "I passed by there several times, but I didn't smell any smell." "That's good fortune!" Li Lianying said: "If the master has any intentions and wants the slave to perform, please tell me." "I have no other intentions. I just hope to catch it early and put it in the ground for peace." "Yes! It's safe in the ground, it's safe in the ground!" Li Lianying agreed and left. Back at Ningshou Palace, I saw Empress Dowager Cixi "circling around" on the corridor.This was her routine homework every time she passed the meals. Being with her was only suitable for gossip, not serious talk, so Li Lianying waited quietly until the Empress Dowager Cixi returned to the house before returning to her command. "Great Concubine Yu said to ask the servant to plead guilty in front of Lafayette. She is not sick, but she is guarding an important thing, so she cannot come to pick up Lafayette." "What's important?" "It's Lafayette's jade treasure." "Oh, oh!" Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly thought of it, "I forgot! When I was in Kaifeng, I also thought that once I returned to the palace, I had to look at the Jiaotai Palace first. Are there any jade seals kept in it? Are they all at Concubine Yu's place now?" "There are only three of Concubine Yu's, and they are the most important." Li Lianying said: "In addition to Lafayette's jade treasure, Long Live Lord's "Fengtian Zhibao" and the Empress' Jinbao are also there. To be honest, it is really a loss to Yu. The noble concubine wants it." The Empress Dowager Cixi was silent, she thought for a while before asking: "What do you think of her expression? Do you seem to think you have made a contribution? Concubine Yu's honor and disgrace depends on Li Lianying's words.After this turmoil, Li Lianying has understood many ways of life, especially the fate of Zaiyi and his son. One day you will realize that it is simply against yourself.If the disused "big brother" had cultivated his popularity a little on weekdays, why would he be so embarrassing when he left the palace? Therefore, Li Lianying replied without hesitation: "I can't see it. I don't think Imperial Concubine Yu is that kind of person!" The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, expressing her satisfaction, "If she is that kind of person, I've been mistaken." After a short pause, she asked again: "What should I do now? It's hard for her, I should give her some face." "If Lafayette wants to give Concubine Yu a face, why not summon her now and praise her face to face." "Alright!" said Empress Dowager Cixi, "I also have something to ask her." Li Lianying agreed, and immediately sent someone to publicize Concubine Xuan Yu, and then went back to the bedroom to have a face-to-face performance. "Go back to Lafayette, Imperial Concubine Yu has something else to do, let the slaves play it back, that's it," Li Lianying said with difficulty, "It's about Master Zhen." When she said this, the Empress Dowager Cixi asked very carefully, "What did she say?" "It is said that the corpse should be fished up and buried." "Of course. You can't just keep it in the well. But..." Empress Dowager Cixi said in a deep voice, "I often think about this too, but I don't know what to do? Does Imperial Concubine Yu have any ideas?" "Great Concubine Yu didn't say anything, but this servant is thinking that this matter is entirely up to Lafayette, not to mention Concubine Yu, no one dares to come up with random ideas." "Then, come up with an idea!" Empress Dowager Cixi said, "Anyway, it's not the same thing if you put it in the well, and I don't know if the body is broken or not?" "Fortunately, it's not bad." "Have you visited?" Li Lianying has not been to the place where Concubine Zhen died, but after hearing what Concubine Yu said, she knew what was going on, so she might as well say a few lies: "Yes! I have been there, although I didn't lift the manhole cover to see, but I asked, and there was no smell in the well, so I know it is not broken. The well is very deep and very cold, and the body seems to be frozen, so it cannot be broken." "This can be regarded as her good luck." Empress Dowager Cixi urged, "Think about it, what should you do?" "Yes!" Li Lianying thought a lot, but she couldn't say what she thought, she could only say a simple way: "I can only tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs, see if there is an open space there, and bury it first." Empress Dowager Cixi was silent, she felt that doing so seemed to have wronged Concubine Zhen.If the dead are unwilling, the living will be uneasy, but if they are buried with the ceremony of concubines, they feel that there are many obstacles.Moreover, she still didn't know the details of the concubine's funeral, so she couldn't make any decision at the moment. At this moment, the palace maid came to report that Concubine Yu was here, and when the curtain was opened, it was not Concubine Yu who was walking ahead, but an eunuch, holding a tray with a yellow burden on it, and on top of it were the three A jade seal. After entering the hall, the eunuch holding the seal stood aside; Concubine Yu straightened her skirts, knelt down and said, "My slave respectfully invites the Lafayette to be safe and blessed!" "Get up, get up!" Empress Dowager Cixi seemed to see her own daughter, "Come here, let me see you!" "Yes!" Concubine Yu kowtowed her head calmly and said, "Wait for the servant to take the Empress Dowager Yubao back first." The eunuch he brought was the leader of Concubine Yu's palace, and he was very capable. He was the one who thought out this set of self-made seal handing notes. At this time, he took the tray over without haste, bent He lowered his body, and waited for Concubine Yu to pick it up before he took two steps back and knelt down to the side. Concubine Yu, who took the tray in her hand, moved up with the seal and the tray, which made the Empress Dowager Cixi a little at a loss.After being the Empress Dowager for forty years, she has gone through all kinds of grand ceremonies, but she has never seen this one before her.However, she couldn't help it, she thought about it for a while, stood up, winked at Li Lianying, and gave the tray a little support, it was considered as taking over. Therefore, Li Lianying bowed, held the tray over, and made an offering on the plan. The Empress Dowager Cixi gave Concubine Yu a hand, and said with a smile on her face, "It's really hard for you!" Concubine Yu's eyes were red, and she forced a smile and said: "After all, I am in front of Lafayette again, I can let go of my heart! Lafayette has really suffered a lot this time!" "Yes!" The Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't help shedding tears whenever she mentioned the suffering of being displaced by the road, "It was a difficult journey, and I couldn't finish talking with you for three days and three nights." So the Empress Dowager Cixi opened up a "chatter box" again, talking about Huailai from the capital, Taiyuan from Huailai, and the narrowness of the Xi'an palace. The words seemed to envy the people who lived in the deep palace. Li Lianying didn't dare to stop her interest until she saw that she was a bit tired, so she took a break and reminded her: "Lafayette should also ask Concubine Yu about her situation in the palace." "By the way! I, the emperor, and the empress are not here, thanks to you! Are you afraid?" "The slave is also afraid! But it's useless to be afraid, so I had to bite the bullet and find someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to discuss it. The crime of being a slave..." "No, no!" Empress Dowager Cixi waved her hands again and again, "Don't say that now, I will reward you." "Lafayette's kindness is already too much. I can't afford it anymore. However, there is something that I dare to go back with Lafayette." "Say it, tell it! Is it about Concubine Zhen?" "Yes!" Imperial Concubine Yu said, "I have to ask Lafayette for extra grace on this matter." "Of course! I mentioned it to the emperor on the way, and made her a noble concubine. I can make an order tomorrow." "Yes! Concubine Zhen must be grateful for the kindness. But there is one more thing, the servant dare not not return with Lafayette." "What's up?" "Concubine Zhen entrusted her servants with dreams twice, with three souls wandering around, without a home to return to, and only dangling between Jingren Palace and Rongshou Palace all night long, it is really hard work!" What a coincidence, at this point, the windows slammed, and the westerly wind entered the house, blowing the candle flames flickering, Cixi couldn't help but shuddered, and her face changed. Li Lianying was also a little scared, and hastily closed the windows, and asked someone to add candles.The Empress Dowager Cixi waited for the shock to settle down, and Fang asked again: "Then, what should we do? When Concubine Zhen entrusted you with a dream, did she say anything?" "I said it. The slave dare not do it." "how?" "She said that the soul has no support, it is only because there is no spiritual place for her. She wants to set up a spiritual place for her in the small room next to the well. How can this be done? The servant told her that Rongshou Palace It's the place where Lafayette takes care of her, how can you set this up for her?" "This..." Empress Dowager Cixi thought for a while and said, "Where should her spiritual seat be located? It can't be located in Jingren Palace, right?" "The servant asked the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and said that when the concubines are buried, they set up a coffin in the food hall of the garden bedroom." This is difficult!It is necessary to build a garden dormitory for the concubine Zhen in order to set up a god, and the dormitory for the concubine concubine is attached to the emperor's mausoleum. The current emperor has never managed a mountain mausoleum, so how can he build a dormitory for the concubine Zhen alone? Concubine Yu can certainly imagine this difficulty, and she has a solution, but it is inconvenient to say it directly.The only method she could use was to make insinuations, or scare words, hoping to force a word out of Empress Dowager Cixi's mouth. "The servant was thinking, when Concubine Zhen was dreaming, she only said sorry to Lafayette, and she did have a heart of regret. Now that Lafayette has returned to the palace, of course she doesn't dare to startle her, she just wanders around without a support. , it is inevitable to run into eunuchs and maids, and make a fuss, that would be bad." This said, Empress Dowager Cixi felt even more creepy, thought about it and asked: "According to this, we have to give her peace today?" "If she can have a home immediately and not suffer from the wandering, I think Concubine Zhen must be grateful for the kindness of Lafayette." The Empress Dowager Cixi was in a dilemma, and she said after a while, "I also want her three souls and six souls to have a home, but just as she said, set up a god in that small room, okay?" The tone is not that the Empress Dowager Cixi has any taboos, but that she is afraid of being disallowed by the palace rules. Li Lianying understood her psychology and dared to speak. "Actually, it's nothing. For example, in a family, the old lady is very healthy, but the younger generation is not as good as the master. She passed away first, and it's not like setting up a seat for the spirit in the side room. As long as it's not in the main hall, it doesn't matter at all." Empress Dowager Cixi thought to herself, this is not bad.If the Venerable Master is present and the younger generation passes away, is it not allowed to set up spirits at home?There is no such reason in the world.So it was decided: "Okay! Let's make a spirit offering for her in that little room." "Yes!" Concubine Yu agreed, afraid of causing misunderstanding, she dared not thank Concubine Zhen. "It won't happen tonight!" Li Lianying said: "I have an idea, I don't know if it will work or not? Since Concubine Zhen is dreaming for Concubine Yu, why don't you ask Concubine Yu to come to the well to pray and tell her the grace of Lafayette, Let her feel at ease, she will be wronged this night, don't come out to wander around." "Okay, let's do this today. There will be a decree tomorrow. When the time comes, it will be passed on to Jilu, and I will explain it to him face to face." ※ ※ ※ The next day when the military plane was summoned, there were only two orders: one was Yuan Shikai, the governor of Zhili who had made great achievements in military affairs, and he was rewarded with "palace title" and "court horse"; Yizhi: The change of the capital last year was in a hurry, and the concubine Zhen was too late to follow her, so she was martyred in the palace. It is admirable for her integrity. I added a posthumous title to the imperial concubine to show my sympathy. The Yamen knows." There are three yamen that should "know", one of which is of course the Ministry of Internal Affairs.One is the Ministry of Rites, because concubines have gold books and seals as usual, if they were enfeoffed during their lifetime, they must recast the book and seal, and send envoys to salute.Another one is the Ministry of Industry, who must prepare for the burial of the precious concubine. However, there is no precedent for this matter, it is not according to the routine, the Ministry of Industry does not need to intervene, and the Ministry of Rituals only needs to handle the ceremony of posthumous concubine, and there is no need to propose the funeral ceremony of the concubine, because the imperial edict did not declare the funeral for the precious concubine. Of course the funeral must be handled by two people, one is Li Lianying, and the other is Jilu, Minister of Internal Affairs.In advance, the Empress Dowager Cixi instructed in person to use the three couplet halls inside the Zhenshun Gate as a funeral place, and to set up a spirit sacrifice and set up a god for the precious concubine. "What should we do about this matter?" Ji Lu said to Li Lianying with a sad face, "There is no way to help, and I don't know how to start? Manager Li, there is Lafayette in Ningshou Palace, so there is nothing wrong with it, but it all depends on him." I'm following you!" "The matter still needs to be handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs..." "Yes, yes!" Jilu hurriedly interrupted, "If you want someone, you need money, you need money, you need things, you can get things, as long as you give orders, you will do everything." "Now we need a cemetery first." "Yes! You said it was there. Can you do it outside Xizhimen?" "Yes." Li Lianying murmured to herself: "Should I inform the precious concubine's family to take a look?" "Here, this is the embarrassing part!" Jilu just complained: "According to the rules, before the burial, the family members of the precious concubine's natal family must be notified to enter the palace to pay their respects to the remains. Is it according to the rules now?" "Entering the palace must be done first, and it is impossible to touch this nail. But let them see the cemetery. You can allocate a few more places and let them pick one. If the pick is decided, I will play it back and forth. This matter must be done immediately, otherwise Too late." "That's right. The first thing is to choose the graveyard, I remember it. The second thing is to choose which day to encoffin?" "I have to ask Qin Tianjian about it. However, the sooner the better, if there is no major shock, it is best to do it today." "That's right." Ji Lu asked again: "The third thing, who should be present at the funeral?" "Concubine Jin is indispensable, and Concubine Yu has to be invited." Li Lianying thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about this matter, I'll ask for orders." "That would be great. But there is one thing. When I went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation early this morning, the emperor stopped me and asked, can the empress dowager explain the matter of concubine Zhen. I replied that she hadn't, but the empress dowager had sent a decree to summon her." , probably because of this matter. The emperor is so concerned, maybe he will come at that time. Manager Li, you must have a plan in mind." "I've thought about it, it doesn't matter! When the time comes, I will invite Lafayette to go shopping in Xiyuan for a day, and the emperor will naturally accompany him, so I will avoid it." "Going to Xiyuan is worse than going to the Summer Palace. If we can stay in the Summer Palace for a day or two, it will be more convenient for us to do business here. The Hall of Yiluan has been burnt down, and we have to go back to the palace on the day we arrive in Xiyuan to pick up the concubine Zhen and take care of the important affairs of the concubine Zhen." , are all crowded together, I am afraid that they will not be able to use it.” "That's okay. But I have to follow Lafayette. I can't take care of it here, but it's all yours." "As long as the discussion is settled, you don't need to do things all the time. On that day, we will each take care of each other. The Summer Palace will belong to you, and Ningshou Palace will belong to me." "Okay! That's it. Now there are two important things, one is to choose the day of the big burial, and the other is to look at the cemetery. Please do it quickly. It is best to write to me today." After Jilu left, Li Lianying calmed down and reconsidered, and realized that there was an unforgivable negligence. The Summer Palace was stationed successively by Russian and British armies, and it was devastated. There is no mention of the premise behind, let alone a tour.What Jilu meant was that he probably thought that if he mentioned Xinggong and repaired this way, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would be able to taste the benefits. It is absurd to have such an idea! However, it is advisable for the Empress Dowager Cixi to avoid the day when the corpse of the precious concubine comes out of the well, which is good anyway.Fortunately, there is the Changchun Palace of the "West Six Palaces" ready-made, so you might as well play it early and please move. ※ ※ ※ The day to bury the precious concubine falls on the third day of December.Two days ago, the Empress Dowager Cixi had moved to the Changchun Palace, and she was going to stay until the end of the new year before coming back so that she could receive the congratulations from the emperor and his ministers. The funeral of the precious concubine should neither follow the rites of the heavenly family nor the customs of the people. In order to accommodate various prohibitions, it can only be handled according to the authority.In order to call back the soul, before the funeral, he became the master first. On the day Empress Dowager Cixi moved in, an altar table was set up in the Sanying corridor inside Zhenshun Gate, facing west.In the small shrine, there is a wooden lord, the inscription is "The Divine Table of Precious Concubine". As usual, a dot on the word should be stained with blood by a filial son, and then filled with ink. At this time, I can't pay attention to it. . On the second day of December, everything in the palace seemed strange. When eunuchs and palace maids met, they would first warn each other with winks and look around. Unresolved mysteries. "I don't know what Concubine Precious looks like when she comes out of the well? She died unjustly, so she must keep her eyes open." "Who knows? After soaking in the well for more than a year, what do you think it will look like?" This is something that cannot be imagined in any way, and can only be understood by seeing it in person. "I want to take a look, but I'm afraid I won't be allowed to go in. What should I do?" "Only when the time comes. It's best if you can go in, but there's nothing you can do if you can't." It was another topic with no conclusion, which in vain aroused people's itching to talk about it even more. "I don't know if the emperor will go?" "He can't even go if he wants to!" "That's not necessarily the case. You think, no one will believe that you can set up an altar table for the precious concubine in Ningshou Palace. But what happened?" "It's a good word. However, the emperor may have kept this matter from him, and he still doesn't know about it." "What if you know? The emperor must see precious concubine. Will Lafayette really stop him?" "Maybe Lafayette won't stop him, just because the emperor won't dare to say anything." This statement seems to hit the nail on the head, but it would be counterproductive. The Empress Dowager Cixi not only did not intend to hide the matter from the emperor, but also adopted a very open-minded attitude. "Do you know why I moved to Changchun Palace?" Empress Dowager Cixi started with this question. "My son doesn't know." The emperor replied bluntly. "I intend to offer sacrifices to the precious concubine in the hallway of Zhenshun Gate." The Empress Dowager Cixi said again: "It is not the same thing to put the corpse in the well. I have thought about it a long time ago. Once I return to Beijing One thing to do is this. Now the date has been decided, and the funeral will be held on the third day of December. I can't go to see it, but I think you should see her for the last time." Hearing this, the emperor felt at a loss, because he couldn't tell whether the Empress Dowager Cixi's words were true or false, whether she was considerate or probing.After Xishou shared this great crisis, she still held on tightly to the country's major political affairs and never let go, but the relationship between mother and child was no longer the same as before when they met each other with a straight face. Xu Xuran is quite like a loving mother.But everything about Concubine Zhen should be an exception. "What?" Empress Dowager Cixi urged in an encouraging tone, "What's so embarrassing? I'll ask Lianying to accompany you there." This doesn't seem like hypocrisy, the emperor also thought of it, and he had to be ignorant of flattery, so he replied: "The emperor's mother must let her son go, and the son will go." "I think you should go! She also died a pitiful death." The Empress Dowager Cixi then said, "Oh, I also told you that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and her natal family selected a piece of land outside Xizhimen for She was buried. Rest in peace, don't you think?" "Yes!" The emperor said in a low voice: "My son is thinking, if there is a spirit under the spring of Concubine Zhen, she must be grateful for the empress dowager's kindness." "I hope she has a home and she will be reborn soon." Empress Dowager Cixi said again: "After dinner, you can go to rest early, and then I will let Lianying go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation." So after passing the meal, the key was released at the palace gate; when the emperor returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it was time to light the lamp.It was a very cold day, and the charcoal in the brazier was not strong enough, so the emperor ordered: "Add more!" In the end, there were still not enough of them. There was only a small circle of red in the middle of the huge Yunbai copper brazier. The emperor couldn't help being angry, and asked the chief eunuch Sun Wancai to scold him. "Did you hear what I said? I told you to add more charcoal. Why is there still such a little will-o'-the-wisp?" "If you go back to Lord Long Live, there is not much charcoal left, and it will be colder in the middle of the night, so you have to save it." "There is not much charcoal? The proportion has been reduced?" "There is no reduction in the quota, but it is not given." "Who won't give it?" asked the emperor. Just when the emperor couldn't bear it anymore and was about to act in anger, the door curtain was lifted, and a person flashed in, saying hello and saying: "Slave please good night to Long Live Lord!" Seeing that it was Li Lianying, the emperor's chest widened, and half of his anger was vented. He regarded Li Lianying as a bannerman who taught Manchurian, riding and shooting, and called him "Advanced". He said: "Look at this brazier! Is there still heat in there? When I asked, it was said that the charcoal received was not enough, so I had to save it. Who is behind the trick?" Seeing that it was Sun Wancai, Li Lianying knew clearly that this person was Cui Yugui and his gang. He thought that the emperor was still the unlucky emperor during the period from the 1898 coup to the Xinghe Tuan riots.However, when Cui Yugui spoke in front of the Empress Dowager, he could still hear three or four sentences out of ten. They didn't figure out what to cut, and they definitely can't cut to Ningshou Palace and Yangxin Palace." Having said this, he turned his face to Sun Wancai and said softly: "Go to the tea room to get red charcoal to continue. .” Seeing the opportunity, Sun Wancai quickly retreated, and after a while, he brought another extremely prosperous brazier with the little eunuch.Li Lianying did it herself and helped to replace it properly, then poured a bowl of hot tea and sent it to the emperor on a tray.The steps were fast, steady, and silent. What impressed the emperor most was that the attitude of serving was no different from that in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi. After the emperor drank two sips of hot tea and his face became more bloody, Li Lianying began to say calmly: "Lafayette sent a servant to ask for orders. When do you plan to see the precious concubine for the last time?" The emperor was at a loss again and didn't know what to answer. He just felt confused and felt like a big stone was pressing on his chest. Ask: "Did you pick it up?" "Filled it up." The unremarkable four words fell into the emperor's ears, and his heart was shocked. There was something he wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask. Does it still look like it?" Seeing this situation, Li Lianying didn't dare to tell the truth, and replied slowly: "It hasn't changed, and the clothes are still in good condition, only a strap that binds the foot is missing." "That's great." The emperor frowned again and asked, "It's been almost a year and a half, why hasn't it changed?" "That's because it's too cold down there." "By the way!" The emperor remembered the story of Song Renzong, "Concubine Li Chen in the Song Dynasty, Renzong's biological mother, died. Renzong didn't know about it. The minister may inquire about the whereabouts of his biological mother in the future, so he will use the golden coffin of Concubine Li Chen The chains were tied at the four corners and hung in the air in a well in the Daxiangguo Temple in Kaifeng, that is to say, take the cold air to keep the corpse from spoiling." The corpse coffin hanging in the well is different from the corpse being soaked in the well water. Li Lianying thought, if the emperor thinks that the appearance of the concubine is precious, even though death is like life, then seeing the truth, it must be unbearable grief.It's better to find a way to stop him and prevent him from seeing him. I thought so, but I didn't dare to say anything.He is well aware of the intentions of the Empress Dowager Cixi. After such a great change, the foreigners are more inclined to the emperor, while the Empress Dowager is inevitably isolated.Before returning to Luan, finally there were Li Hongzhang and King Qing outside, and Rong Lu and Qu Hongji inside. They took care of each other and prevented foreigners from saying a word of dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother, and did not ask for return to the government. It really didn't come easy. However, the foundation of the Empress Dowager Cixi was not solid.Before returning to Luan, the emperor could be separated from foreigners, but the relationship between mother and child was still in harmony, which was easy to cover up.After arriving in Beijing, the situation is very different, especially what can't be assured is that no one knows what the emperor has in mind.Under the accumulative prestige, and the emperor's wings have all been cut off, it is true that there is nothing to do, but the emperor's accumulated anger is hard to appease. As long as he sends out a few complaints and spreads them on the news paper, it is like giving someone a handle to oppose the empress dowager. Man, an excellent topic came up. Therefore, the Empress Dowager Cixi once specially told Li Lianying that on the way back to Luan, all offerings to the imperial court should be carefully checked, and it must not appear that the Empress Dowager and the emperor have any quarrel.Her approach is to try to make people feel that the court is harmonious and harmonious.In this way, not only is it easy to get rid of the fault of conniving with the boxers, but it also blocks the mouths of others, so that they cannot ask the Queen Mother to return to the government, because the mother and son are of one heart and one mind, and it doesn't matter whether they return to the government or not.If someone insists on drawing a completely different line between the empress dowager and the emperor, saying that there is such a difference between "training the government" and "being in charge of the government", they can also be charged with "separation" and the emperor will issue an order to suppress it. . The key to the success or failure of all these methods lies in the emperor, so he must be kind to appease him.The Empress Dowager Cixi knew that as a mother, she should submit to any strict requirements, and the son of a man should obey them. There are only two things, and she is not like a mother anymore! One is elder brother Li, who is clearly planning to abolish Li, because the mother wants to drive her son out of the gate.That being the case, the son can also deny himself as the mother of the inheritance relationship.俗语说的是，“虎毒不食子”，那样做法，未免过于绝情。不过，这个错误已经弥补过来了，在开封驱逐溥儁出宫，皇帝内心的感激，是可以从词色中清清楚楚地觉察到的。 再一件就是将珍妃处死，如今追赠为贵妃，为她设灵，重新殡殓，都是补过的表示，皇帝当然不能无动于衷。但最要紧的是要表示尊重皇帝的意愿。珍妃既然为他所宠爱，而又死得这么惨，那么当此唯一可以让他见最后一面的机会，而竟加以阻抑，无论如何是件说不过去的事。 慈禧太后本来打算得好好地，但等尸体出井，听说形容可怖，便要考虑让皇帝看到，会有什么感想？ 很显然的，惊痛悲愤之余，一定会问，这是谁的罪过？旧恨本已快将泯灭，无端加上刺激，拿它勾了起来，决非聪明的办法。因此，慈禧太后变了主意，决定还是不能让皇帝看到珍贵妃的面目。不过，话已说出口，不能出尔反尔，只好交代李莲英来见皇帝，见机行事。 这是个很难办的差使。李莲英一直到此刻才能决定，以皇帝见了珍贵妃的遗容，定会伤感作理由而谏阻，徒增反感，并无用处。唯有采取拖的办法，拖过入殓的时刻，皇帝亦就无可如何了。 拖又有两种拖法，一是陪着皇帝闲谈，谈得忘了时候，再一种是设法让皇帝熟睡，睡得误了时候。这两个法子，那个比较好，一时还无法断定，眼前亦只有拖着再说。 于是，他精神抖擞地，只在珍贵妃的丧事上找话题；而忘不了时时提到，慈禧太后是如何关切。由此又有意无意地谈起，珍贵妃入宫之初，在长春宫、在西苑、在颐和园侍奉游宴时，如何得慈禧太后的宠爱？ 这却不是假话，因为皇帝自己就曾见过，此刻听了李莲英的话，很容易地勾起了记忆。记得最清楚的是，那时也正是慈禧太后的“清客”缪太太入宫不久，太后学画每每命珍贵妃侍候画桌，自己亲眼见过不止一次。 慢慢地，珍贵妃也能画得象个样子了，有时太后赐大臣的画，由她代笔，经缪太太润饰以后，便发了出去。其后，珍贵妃由怡情书画一变而为喜欢照相。于是，大祸由此而起了。 他记得那是甲午战后，慈禧太后正开始痛恨洋人的时候，珍贵妃传了一个照相铺子的掌柜，悄悄儿到景仁宫来照了几张相，事为慈禧太后所知，大为不悦，传了珍贵妃来，很责备了一顿。如果就此改过，也还罢了，偏偏不改，而且变本加厉。说起来，珍贵妃也有点儿咎由自取。 不过有件事，皇帝始终在怀疑，此刻想到，不妨一问：“谙达，会照相的那个太监，后来传杖处死的，你总记得，叫什么名字？” “是……，”李莲英想起来了，“叫戴安平。” “说他在东华门外开了一家照相铺子，可有这话？” “有。确实不假。” “他开铺子的本钱，说是珍贵妃给的。你听说过没有？” “听说过。”李莲英答说：“不过是不是真的珍贵妃给的本钱，那就难说了。” “莫非以后就没有查个水落石出？” “这件事，奴才记不大清楚了。”李莲英说：“等明儿查明白了来回奏。” “不必！”皇帝摇摇头，慢慢拉开抽屉，取出一张褪色的照片，放在桌上凝视着。 自然是珍贵妃的照片，不过不是在景仁宫，而是在西苑所摄。皇帝记得，她那天穿的是一件粉红色的长袍，上套月白缎子琵琶襟的坎肩，镶着极宽的玄色丝织花边。慈禧太后都曾说过，这样娇嫩的颜色，宫里只有珍妃一个人配穿，可见得宠爱犹在。而曾几何时，杖责、降封、幽闭、入井，这变化不是太厉害了吗？ “谙达，”皇帝痛苦地问：“我实在不明白，到底要怎样，才能让老佛爷高兴呢？” 这能让李莲英说什么？母子之间的不和，所谓“冰冻三尺，非一日之寒”，化解也决不是一朝一夕间所能收功的。他略想一想，唯有一方面劝慰，一方面为慈禧太后解释。 “如今不慢慢儿好了吗？顺者为孝，万岁爷凡事迁就一点儿，老佛爷没有不体恤的。”李莲英略停一下又说：“怪来怪去怪那些小人，从中播弄是非。奴才斗胆跟万岁爷提一声，有些话不妨跟老佛爷当面回奏，找人去说，或许就会变了样儿。 好好的一句话，变得不中听了。 " “这倒是真的。”皇帝点点头，“以后有话，我如果自己不便说，就说给你！” “是！”李莲英有些诚惶诚恐似地，“万岁爷只要交代奴才，奴才一定原样转奏。” “喔，有件事，我要问你。如今有六国的公使，都是打咱们离京以后才到任的，照条约得要见我，面递国书。我可不知道该怎么办？你看老佛爷的意思怎么样？” 这话骤听不解，李莲英细细琢磨了一会，才辨出意思。所谓“不知道该怎么办”是说应该持何态度？尽管慈禧太后自己对洋人，今非昔比，颇假以词色，但皇帝与洋人相见之时，如果态度上较为亲切，就会引起她的猜忌。皇帝亦必是顾虑这一层，才会发此疑问。 了解了本意，就容易回答了：“奴才不懂什么，怕说得不对。”他说：“依奴才的拙见，君臣之分，中外一律，公使是客，固然应该客气一点，不过到底也是外邦之臣，万岁爷也得顾到自己的身分。” “你的意思是说，不亢不卑就可以了？” “是，是！不亢不卑。”李莲英顺口又加了一句：“不太威严，可也不太随和。” “我懂了。不过，”皇帝忽然皱起了眉，“我实在有点怕见他们。” 李莲英不知道他为什么怕？但宫中的规矩，除非皇帝是在垂询，否则象这样的话是不必也不该接口的，所以他保持沉默。 “我是怕他们问起咱们逃难的情形，就不知道该怎么说了。” “不会的！”李莲英答说：“如果是那样不知趣的人，也不会派来当公使。” “这话倒也是。”皇帝点头同意，“不过，就人家不说，咱们自己不觉得难为情吗？” 李莲英心想，皇帝真是不可救药！永远不知道慈禧太后心里的想法。照她想，大清朝的天下，当初不是送给长毛，就是为肃顺所篡夺。安邦定国都亏得有她！四十年临朝听政，外而李鸿章、左宗棠，内而恭王、醇王，不管跋扈也好，骄慢也好，谁不是俯首听命，感恩怀德？至于国事之坏，是皇帝亲政以后的事，知人不明，好高骛远，新进之辈，不知天高地厚，任意妄为，新旧相激，以至于鼓捣成这么一场空前的大祸，而收拾残局，还是要靠效忠自己的一班老臣。尽管洋人有意捧皇帝，其实是借题发挥，不曾安着好心。 总而言之，论到治国，慈禧太后决不肯承认不如皇帝。而皇帝每每好说这种“灭自己威风，长他人志气”的话，虽非有意讥讪，但传入慈禧太后耳中，当然不是滋味，再经人一挑拨，便越发恨在心里了。 他很想劝一劝皇帝，却苦于难以措词，正在思索之际，只听得“当啷”一声大响，余音未歇，已可辨出是一只铜盘掉在砖地上的声音。 这也是常有的事，至多不过惊得心跳一下而已。可是在皇帝却严重了！只见他吓得脸色苍白，冷汗淋漓，手扶着桌子，有些支持不住的模样。 这种情形，李莲英见过不止一次，听慈禧太后说过更不止一次。皇帝从小身体弱，抱进宫来时，肚脐眼上一直在淌黄水，慈禧太后亲自抚育也颇费了些心血。皇帝最怕打雷，霹雳一下，必是往太后怀中躲，在书房里，就得翁师傅将他搂着。 及至长大成人，胆子更小，雷声以外，就怕金声，所以听戏在他是一大苦事，尤其是武戏，因为怕大锣。此外，打枪的声音也怕，拳匪与虎神营围攻西什库教堂时，枪声传到瀛台，害他通宵不能入梦，是常有的事。 这样的皇帝，实在不能让任何有魄力、有决断的人看得起，但也实在不能不让人觉得可怜。李莲英真不忍见皇帝那副惨相，急忙上前扶住，半拽半扶地让他在椅子上坐下，只说：“没有什么！没有什么！” 皇帝总算缓过气来了，自己也觉得有些窝囊，怔怔地望着李莲英，是一种乞求谅解的眼色。 “万岁爷早早歇着吧！”李莲英试探地说。 皇帝想说：那里睡得着？而终于只是抑郁地点点头。 于是，李莲英招手唤了小太监来，为皇帝卸衣脱靴，预备上床，李莲英便退后两步，打算悄悄溜走。 “谙达！”皇帝突然喊住他说：“你能不能替我办件事？” 皇帝提出一个看似意外，其实在情理之中的要求，他希望李莲英替他找一件珍贵妃的遗物来，不论什么，钗环衣服，只要是她生前用过的就行。 这是一个难题。因为景仁宫早就封闭，珍贵妃贴身的宫女，亦已打发得一个不剩，更从何处去求地的遗物？但看到皇帝眼中所流露的渴望的神色，他实在不忍说实话，且先硬着头皮答应下来。 出得养心殿，扑面一阵凛冽的西北风，李莲英打了个寒噤，但脑子却清醒了。一下子想起两处地方可以取得珍贵妃的遗物，一处就是贞顺门穿堂中，珍贵妃殡殓之处，入井的旧绸衣与鞋子已经换了下来，现成取来就是；再一处就是瑾妃那里，必有她妹妹遗留下来首饰玩物之类。 只稍作考虑，李莲英便定了主意。入井的衣物，自然更堪供追忆，但触目心惊，怕皇帝所受的刺激过重，而且不祥之物留了下来，慈禧太后知道也会不高兴。只有到瑾妃那里找一两样东西送上去，比较适宜。 掏出表来看，长短针都指在十字上。在平时，瑾妃宫中早已下钥熄灯，这一夜因为要送珍贵妃大殓，事先已经奏准慈禧太后，宫门可以不上锁，瑾妃亦尚未归寝，去了一定可以见得着。 通报进去，瑾妃略有意外之感。当然，没有不见之理。 李莲英照宫中的规矩，只在窗子外面回话，“奴才刚打养心殿来，万岁爷想要一样珍贵妃留下来的东西。想来瑾主子这里，一定能够找得出来。” 听得这一说，瑾妃的眼圈又红了。她正在检点她妹妹留在她那里的衣物，那些可以带入棺，那些不妨留下来送亲戚作遗念？皇帝来要，当然尽先挑了送去。不过，她有极大的顾虑。 “东西有。”她迟疑着说：“只怕送上去了，会有麻烦。”言外之意，李莲英当然能够深喻，想一想答道：“不要紧！ 交给奴才就是。 " 这表示慈禧太后如或诘问，自有李莲英担待。“既然如此，”瑾妃在窗子里说：“你自己进来挑吧！” “奴才不必进屋子了，请瑾主子自己作主。” 这下，瑾妃大费踌躇。照她的想法，最好将她妹妹被幽禁时所用的，连镜子都已破了一块的那个旧梳头匣子，交李莲英带去，好让皇帝时时记得，他的宠妃曾经受过怎样的虐待？可是她不敢！因为她想得到的用意，慈禧太后一定也想得到，万一知道了这回事，问一句：“为什么不拿别样，偏拿个破梳头匣子给皇上，是何居心？”那一来就吃不了，兜着走了。 在一桌子的什物中细细搜索，终于找到一样好东西。这本来是瑾妃想自己留下来作遗念的，如今送给皇帝，自然比留在自己身边，更得其所。 拿起那个制作得十分精细美观的金豆蔻盒，瑾妃真有些爱不忍释。然而毕竟还是找了珍贵妃用过的一方紫罗手绢包了起来，又洒上些珍贵妃用剩下来的香水，找个黄匣子盛好，亲手隔窗递与李莲英。 “烦你劝劝皇上，人死不能复生，又道是'没有千年不散的筵席'，请皇上千万别伤心。” 李莲英心知瑾妃言不由衷，但仍旧答一声：“是！” “还有，”瑾妃又说：“听说老佛爷准皇上亲自临视珍贵妃的遗容，这，实在可以不必。你务必给拦一拦，皇上是不看的好。”说到最后一句，瑾妃的声音哽咽了。 “奴才知道。”李莲英心想，这倒是很好的一个劝阻的借口。 于是，让随行的小太监捧着黄匣，李莲英又回到了养心殿。西暖阁中一灯荧然，窗纸上映出晃荡的影子，想是皇帝等得有些着急了。 李莲英微咳一声，窗纸上的影子立刻静止了，接着门帘打起，他从小太监手里接过黄匣，疾趋数步，走到门口说道： “奴才给万岁爷复命。” “好！拿进来。” 李莲英将匣子放在桌上，然后退后两步请个安说：“是瑾妃宫里取来的。瑾妃还有话，让奴才回奏。” "What words?" 李莲英将瑾妃所说的话，前面一段，是照样学了一遍，后面一段就全改过了：“瑾妃又说“半夜里寒气很重，那儿是个穿堂，前后灌风，万一招了寒，圣躬违和，那就让珍贵妃在地下都会不安。万岁爷如果体恤珍贵妃，就千万别出屋子了。 '" 皇帝沉吟了好一会，方始很吃力地说：“既是这么说，我就不去。 “是！”李莲英如释重负，问一声：“万岁爷可还有别的吩咐？” “你跟皇太后回奏，就说我没有去看珍贵妃的遗容。” "yes!" “这，”皇帝指着黄匣说：“这东西，别跟皇太后提起。” "The servant knows." “好！你回去吧！” 李莲英便即跪安退出，顺便向屋里的太监使个眼色，示意他们尽皆退出。 于是皇帝亲手打开盒盖，一阵浓郁的香味，直扑到鼻，顿觉魂消骨荡，刹那间，眼、耳、口、鼻、意，无不都属于珍贵妃了。 那曾闻惯了的香味，将他尘封已久的记忆，一下子都勾了起来。他记得这瓶香水是张荫桓出使回来，连同几样珍奇新巧的玩物，一起托一个太监，仿佛就是开照相馆的戴太监，转到景仁宫去的。 由于皇帝喜爱那种香味，从此珍贵妃就只用这种香水，算起来已四五年不曾闻见过了。 解开罗巾，触目更不辨悲喜，金盒中还留着两粒豆蔻，不由得就想起杜牧的诗句：“娉娉袅袅十三余，豆蔻梢头二月初”，正是珍贵妃初入宫的光景。 算一算快十二年了，但感觉中犹如昨日。那年——光绪十五年，珍贵妃才十四岁，虽开了脸，梳了头，仍是一副娇憨之态。皇帝想起她那一双乌溜溜的大眼珠，不时乱转，而一接触到皇帝的视线，立即眼观鼻，鼻观心，强自矜持忍笑的神情，便不由得神往了。 那四五年的日子，回想起来真如成了仙一样。烦恼不是没有，外则善善不能用，恶恶不能去，纵有一片改革的雄心壮志，却是什么事都办不动；内则总是有人在太后面前进谗，小不如意，便受呵责，而皇后又不断呕气，真是到了望影而避的地步。可是，只要一到景仁宫，或者任何能与珍贵妃单独相处的所在，往往满怀懊恼，自然而然地一扫而空。也只有在那种情形之下，才会体认到做人的乐趣。 What about now?皇帝从回忆中醒过来，只觉得其寒彻骨，一颗心凉透了！一年半以前，虽在幽禁之中，她仍旧维系着他的希望，想象着有一天得蒙慈恩，赦免了她，得以仍旧在一起。谁知胭脂井深，蓬莱路远，香魂不返，也带走了他的生趣！ 人亡物在，摩挲着他当年亲手携赠珍贵妃的这个豆蔻盒子，心里在想，这不就是杨玉环的“钿盒”吗？将古比今，想想真不能甘心，“六军不发无奈何，宛转娥眉马前死”，在珍贵妃并无这样非死不可的理由，“君王掩面救不得，回看血泪相和流”，诚然悲惨，
