late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 440 Handling the "Book of Heaven and Kun" by Order

Li Guolou escorted Emperor Tongzhi back to the palace in the early morning, and Emperor Tongzhi had to show up in the upper study room in the morning, otherwise those talkative ministers in the upper study room would report to the Empress Dowager Cixi.Emperor Tongzhi got up early habitually. Although he was exhausted and out of breath, he was young and recovered quickly, so he still sat in the carriage with energy.

Li Guolou sat next to him and did not dare to make a sound, wondering why the Emperor Tongzhi had to ride in the same car with him when he returned.When I got up in the morning, the people were a little chaotic. The Emperor Tongzhi was silent all the way. After walking for half the distance, the Emperor Tongzhi finally said: "Li Guolou, I will accompany you to bring the two mothers back to the palace tomorrow. It's too cold. It's warmer in the Forbidden City. Hey..."

Listening to the tone of Emperor Tongzhi, he was unwilling, but who called him a son.The happy and happy days will eventually come to an end, and with the all-pervasive Empress Dowager Cixi watching by her, she can no longer be so romantic and happy.

Li Guolou said carefully, "Your Majesty, work hard, don't make mistakes, power is hard to come by, and the days of marionettes are so boring."

"I know, so I have a discussion with you. Ahhh!" Emperor Tongzhi coughed dryly, and said with some embarrassment: "Those talkative people in the court have exposed the matter of Zhenjin's shelter to the empress dowager. Man My ancestors have many families, and I can't bear it. Fortunately, I have a back-up plan at the beginning. That Du E Niang, you take care of it for me. She is your wife, so don't steal it. Later, I will find a way to get Du E Mother took her into the palace."

Li Guolou touched his nose, he was full of gloom, and said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, why did this kind of thing happen to me?"

"Hey! Who told you to wear a lice jacket, no matter how many lice you have, you can't have too many lice." Emperor Tongzhi put down a sentence with a sneer on his face.

"Zha! Slave, you must take good care of Lady Du, and never dare to steal it. It's rare for the emperor to play, so don't indulge in it." Li Guolou immediately adjusted his mentality after being released from the house, not daring to indulge himself.

Emperor Tongzhi nodded and said: "Well, I know, I still want to live to be 80 years old, how can I not cherish my body, only a few times a month. I still understand the principle of winter to replenish the body. When you come back from Xijiang, we will Let's fight tigers together. Hehehehe!"

Li Guolou laughed along with him, relieved a lot, as for Emperor Tongzhi's favored young minister, he would not speak out and reprimand him.The princes and ministers who raised the young princes went to sea, and Prince Qing Yikuang took the lead in raising several young princes. This kind of thing is a major feature of the Qing Empire, as long as he doesn’t fall into the dye vat, it’s fine to protect his own body. .

Emperor Tongzhi and Li Guolou talked about the romantic and happy last night, and the two shamelessly compared the pros and cons. The woman with bound feet has a taste.Before getting out of the car, Emperor Tongzhi finally said a serious sentence: "Li Guolou is good at business, and I hope that the Xianliang Temple will have your memorial tablet in the future."

Xianliang Temple is located at the side gate of Di'anmen West Street in Xicheng District. It was built in the eighth year of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty.The ancestral hall faces south, covering an area of ​​about 740 square meters.There are 3 gates. On the central axis, there are stele pavilions in turn, one on the left and one on the left, and a hexagonal pavilion.There are three Yimen gates, with stone lions on the left and right in front of the gate, and one side door on the left and right sides of the Yimen gate.There are 3 halls in the main hall, 3 rooms in the east and west verandahs, 3 rooms in the back room, and 5 rooms in the east and west rooms.The Xianliang Temple is dedicated to those who have made meritorious service to the princes and ministers of the country.Emperor Shizongxian of the Qing Dynasty wrote on the forehead of the imperial book "Respecting the Loyalty and Remembering the Old".At the beginning of Xianliang Temple, there are 3 people who accept priests including kings, princes, marquises, great scholars, ministers, censors of Zuo Du, Du Tong, generals, governors, governors, and deputy Du Tong.

"Zha! This servant must do his duty faithfully and live up to the grace of the emperor." Li Guolou's blood was boiling with tears when he heard this. He is the most trusted minister of Emperor Tongzhi.This time causing trouble for the emperor, the holy family is still strong. The master is the holy master. The folks say that the Emperor Tongzhi's hunting for flowers and willows is just speculation. He can guarantee that all the scandals are caused by him, and the emperor Tongzhi is on his behalf. Take the blame.

Li Guolou's carriage went straight to Youfang Hutong to see the prostitute Du Eniang. Since the Emperor Tongzhi entrusted him with the errand, he had to do it in a seamless manner. The official media was indispensable, and it had to be done today.Otherwise, when the Empress Dowager Cixi returns to Beijing, she will be furious and kill the prostitute Du Eniang. The Emperor Tongzhi should not vent his anger on him. If his bright official career is ruined by a prostitute, the reputation of the god arrest will be ruined.Of course, my heart is very happy to see Du Eniang, who is as beautiful as jade. Everyone loves seductive beauties.

Li Guolou's House of Internal Affairs also has an official position, the position of supervising the Wanshoushan project, so in Du Eniang's mansion, he sent four middle-aged eunuchs and four court maids to serve Du Eniang. The stage name in the brothel has long been erased, and the capital has never had a high-ranking prostitute named Hua Jinxiu.

Li Guolou entered the mansion and waited in the living room after reporting. After a short while, Du Eniang wore a pink rose-scented tight-fitting gown with sleeves, a green smoked gauze skirt, and a gold silk soft smoke belt around her waist. Formed into a big bowknot, the jasper-chan and phoenix hairpins are inserted into the jasper-chan phoenix hairpin obliquely, showing a slender figure, alluring and seductive.Exuding a delicate fragrance all over her body, Lianlian walked from far to near in broken steps, with the demeanor of a mother who respects the world.

I just feel that Du Eniang's body seems to be surrounded by haze, she is not a person in the world, her eyes are only on her faint eyebrows, her red lips are pouted, she is smiling, and there is a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.At this time, the morning glow was slowly rising, and the faint sunlight shone on her face, and her mind couldn't help but fluctuate.

Li Guolou was flustered, he quickly bowed his head and knelt down to pay respects to Du Eniang, and told the reason why he came here, he was very urgent, he wanted to marry Du Eniang today, otherwise he would be caught by the queen mother, and his life would be in jeopardy.Marriage needs to be done immediately.The two have to go to the Ministry of Rites together to get the "Book of Heaven and Kun". Qian, that is, dry, refers to the man in marriage; Kun, that is, Kun Zao, refers to the woman in marriage; "Book of Qian Kun" is divided into two parts, "Gan Shu" and "Kun Shu". The former "Gan Shu" is a certificate written by the man to the woman, and the latter "Kun Shu" is stored in the Ministry of Rites, and the marriage status of officials needs to be archived.

On the upper right side of the "Book of Heaven and Kun", a couple of newlyweds are engraved on the right side, and five guests are painted on the bottom. They are eagerly looking forward to the marriage certificates of men and women in the Qing Dynasty.This is a certificate issued by the government. As for ordinary people who are married in the open media, the government also approves it.

Du Eniang sat on the main seat, listened to Li Guolou's spittle, said "hmm" and "ah" a few times, did not say to go out to do it, did not say that she disagreed, but just held the tea steadily It's too early to have a cup of tea, and Du Eniang is as stable as Mount Tai.

Li Guolou is in a hurry. Tomorrow he will go to Yuanmingyuan with Emperor Tongzhi to pick up the two empress dowagers. If they go back to Beijing to find fault, and Du Eniang dies after a meal, wouldn't he become a thorn in Emperor Tongzhi's eyes? I can't pull it out fast.

"Ms. Du, how dare a servant lie to you? Young Master Long told me just now that everything will be fine once everything is settled. After Young Master Long has said that, he will definitely welcome you into the palace and canonize you as a noble concubine. The Qiankun Book document of the Ministry of Rites can be destroyed. It is just a matter of expediency now. Even Master Long dare not touch the majesty of the empress dowagers of the two palaces and the laws of the Manchu family, but I am all for Madam Du." Li Guolou said so dryly that he didn't even have a sip of water, and came here in a hurry , but in exchange for a cold face.

Li Guolou was secretly annoyed and shameless, so he knelt down to talk to a prostitute, stood up talking to himself, squinted and said, "Du Eniang, what are you doing so weirdly early in the morning, you took the wrong medicine. The young master has too many women, one more than you is not too many, and one less than you is quite a lot. If your younger brother is not favored, would Master Long think of you? The young master has been able to play for a few years, who is covering you now, what are you doing? clear."

"Bold!" Du Eniang put the teacup on the case table, spilled the tea, frowned, and shouted: "Li Guolou, you just took the wrong medicine. You came to talk crazy to me early in the morning, and your mind is so dirty. , do you think I don’t know?”

"You get out." Li Guolou waved his hand to let the two serving maids leave, then changed his expression, walked up to pour water for Du Eniang with a teapot in his hand, and said with a playful smile: "My good aunt, I am the dragon. The young master's slave, but I am also an official and businessman, and I am easy to mess around with. But the only difference between you is that you rely on Master Long. If you don't listen to Master Long, he can't protect you, and I can only let him go. You are the one who suffers, and I can mess up until Going to the concession, is it worth letting me kneel and talk early in the morning?"

"Then why didn't he come?" Du Eniang was in a bad mood, she took all her anger on Li Guolou, and twisted Li Guolou's waist and eyes viciously with one hand.

Fortunately, Li Guolou's muscles were tight, and Du Enniang's strength was too weak to move.Li Guolou took advantage of the opportunity to grab Du Eniang and stroked it a few times, reluctant to let go, and said in a low voice: "Du Eniang, this is a great opportunity, if Master Long doesn't want you anymore, just tell me, we don't have a marriage contract Is it? If Young Master Long takes you into the palace, I will be your younger brother, and I will cover the outside affairs for you. You won't suffer any disadvantages, if you buy one insurance or double insurance, I will be your substitute."

"You are so obscene." Du Eniang stood up furiously, her two little hands had already begun to caress Li Guolou's face.

Li Guolou took the opportunity to put his arms around Du Eniang, and said with a wry smile, "Emiang, I have changed your maid and eunuch, and I just have a spare time, so I'll serve you, okay? To save you from being so angry."

"You know this too." Du Eniang opened her mouth, and she had already moved closer, stifled in a house, unable to go anywhere.Even if you go out to listen to the opera, there are still maids and eunuchs watching. After you have tasted the taste of a man, life without a man is very difficult.

Li Guolou and Du Eniang embraced and kissed, the scent of a woman was intoxicating.He didn't dare to wait too long, held her pretty face, stared at her for a while, and praised: "E Niang is so beautiful, maybe she will be a queen in the future."

Du Eniang couldn't bear it anymore, her whole body was hot, and she said out of breath, "Xiaolou, aren't you going to do the "Book of Heaven and Kun"? Let the maid stay at home, we go out to open the room, and we will fight for three rounds before we talk about it."

When meeting a person who was born as a prostitute, she was so direct, the seemingly unearthly fairy was very coquettish in her bones.Li Guolou was startled, his heart trembled, and he couldn't hold back his impatience, so he nodded and said, "Well, E Niang, we're going to do the "Book of Heaven and Kun" in the morning, have a cup of wine at noon, go to the bridal chamber in the afternoon, and see you off in the evening." Come back. The eunuchs and maidservants here, when I come back from Yuanmingyuan, I will change a batch, and then I will compensate you."

"I'll give you the cheap price, Xiaolou, how do you know I'm willing to do it?" Du Eniang was overjoyed, her voice was soft and whiny, which was quite different from the choking voice just now, her temperament was not good without rain and dew, and there was a man by her side , Immediately resorted to charm.

"Because I heard your deer-like heart beating wildly." Li Guolou hugged Du Eniang tightly, listened to her heartbeat, and looked at him silently. The woman is a sullen type.The reason why Du Eniang dressed up so beautifully early in the morning is not because he came.

"Hmph! Masters and slaves have the same virtue. I can see through it. They are both pioneers among men." The men Du Eniang dealt with were either rich or expensive. .

"Then, am I qualified as a substitute?" Li Guolou's slender eyes stared at Du Eniang's face reluctantly, and every frown and smile looked good.

"Well...it's okay." Du Eniang was still quite satisfied. If the imperial concubine couldn't do it, the noble lady was also a good choice.

Li Guolou held a chicken feather as an arrow, and had the imperial decree of "Master Long". He was decreed to marry Du Eniang and go out to publish "Book of Heaven and Earth".None of the four maids and four eunuchs dared to speak out, as for the other old maids hired by the mansion, they did not dare to speak too much. There are many taboos here, and they usually just spend their money to bore them.
