Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2555 Nine Volumes 37 To Be Married
Over the years that the monarch and his subjects have been together, this is almost the first time that the emperor has been so cold and hard to Fu Heng.

Although Fu Heng made it clear that the emperor didn't come for him, it was because the emperor hated those corrupt officials.

He himself was at fault, and his fault was that he interceded with the emperor for the damned Gao Heng.The emperor hated officials and officials to protect each other and form cliques. The two big groups of Zhang Tingyu and Ertai back then were the biggest lessons from the past.

It's just that it's hard to calm down after all~
Fu Heng's heart was depressed, no one in the court could complain, and only in the correspondence with Zhao Yi, his chest was slightly relieved.

Zhao Yi also said with emotion in his reply: "I always thought that the emperor would promote and reuse their father, brother and family because of his love for the master in the palace. This is the case in your family, Lord Zhongyong, and the Gao family of the mother's family of Emperor Huixian. The same is true of the Jin family of the imperial concubine Shujia's family; among these high-ranking master and son-in-law families, the imperial concubine's master-son-mother family is somewhat exception."

"Given the emperor's affection for the imperial concubine's master, the emperor did not give the imperial concubine's master, Ama Qingtai, and his brother Dexin any high official positions. Lord Qingtai has been in charge of the pastry house for these years, and Dexin is only in charge of it. It's just a silk warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs... It's really incomprehensible to be a lowly post."

"However, looking at it now, the lowly position thinks that the emperor is a kind of protection - although he has no high position, he is always by his side. Master Qingtai personally takes care of the imperial concubine's food, and Dexin takes care of the imperial concubine's clothes... Although there is no high position, there is no risk."

After reading Fu Hengzhan's letter, the corners of his eyes twitched.

It is said that his family is the most favored among relatives, but from his second brother Fu Qing, to his nephew Ming Rui, and even his own son Fu Ling'an...all died tragically under the name of this "graciousness" battlefield;
The Gao family of the mother's family of the imperial concubine Huixian, and even the old father who accompanied him to the execution ground, almost frightened him to death; next, his brother was questioned and beheaded...

These so-called ostentatious, so-called high positions, what is left in the end?

Even if his brothers, father and son, uncle and nephew had received a lot of honors and titles, how could death bring them away?

Fu Heng asked for wine and got drunk that night.

Through drunkenness, she has cried and laughed, but there is only one thing to comfort her—the emperor really took good care of Jiu'er.

Except for Jiu'er, the emperor can spare any minister in the former court and any concubine in the harem.

As long as the emperor can protect Jiu'er, then he will have no worries.

In the future, you will be able to rush into the battle line with your strength and perseverance, and you will never have to look back.
.
On the 34th day of the first lunar month in the 21th year of Qianlong, just after the [-]th day of the first lunar month, and still in the joy of the Lantern Festival, the emperor issued a decree: "Fu Heng, the loyal and brave man of the university, went to Yunnan to manage military affairs. Today, February [-] The schedule starts today. All matters that should be done will be handled by the yamen according to the law."

Following the Battle of Dajinchuan 20 years ago, Fu Heng will go to the battlefield again to fight another battle in the mud for the court.

The fate of father and son is connected. After the emperor ordered Fu Heng to be the military strategist of Yunnan last year, Fu Long'an, the fourth son-in-law, was awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of War; Fu Long'an is the acting minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The emperor has already hinted that all the positions left by Fu Heng will be handed over to Fu Long'an to inherit, which can also make Fu Heng leave Beijing with peace of mind.

In the battle of Burma, just like the previous battle of Dajinchuan, the imperial court had been forced into a desperate situation, and could only win but not lose; the other ministers in the court were useless, and the emperor had to send out Fu Heng again as the last trump card.

Fu Heng's trip was of great significance, so the emperor gave him a special favor: Fu Heng, a scholar of economics and strategy, and a piece of imperial armor.

In the past, it was said that the highest honor for a general is the yellow mandarin jacket bestowed by the emperor, but before this imperial armor, it has become ordinary.

The emperor then decided to issue an imperial seal for Fu Heng's expedition in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

A few days later, he ordered Fulong Anga to act as the Minister of the Fanyuan.

The emperor's kindness to Fu Heng, Fu Long'an and his son was almost extreme.

Fu Heng didn't have time to rejoice, but his heart was even heavier.He understood the emperor's heart, and there was no turning back when he pacified Burma this time.

If he can be victorious, he will be able to return alive; if not... he can only leave his life on the battlefield like his second brother Fu Qing and his nephew Ming Rui to repay the king's kindness.
.
It is actually not difficult to make such a decision; even after he was appointed as a manager last year, he has already prepared for it in his heart.

He has already settled down the family, his eldest son Fu Long'an is ready for a big job; even the monkey-like Qilin Bao has started a family and has become more stable, and his daughter Fuling has given birth to a little grandson... He is already satisfied.

The only hope that I dare not speak of, or regret, is... I was born with greed, always wanting to fly into the palace wall again before I leave, to take another look, I can't forget those 30 years man.

In the end, Master Jiu couldn't hide what was on his mind from Fujin Jiu.

After many years of being together as husband and wife, Jiu Fujin was reluctant to let go of her husband, but still wanted her to leave with peace of mind.

Early the next morning, she handed over a sign begging to enter the palace.

Naturally, Jiufu Jin had a suitable reason: to greet his sister Concubine Shu, and then to visit her newborn grandson.

The imperial concubine is the lord of the six palaces, so the plaque handed by Lan Pei was presented to Wanxi.

Wanxi flipped through Jiufujin's signboard without hesitation, and her heart was still rippling.

When the day came, Jiufujin entered the palace to salute Wanxi.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Jiufujin was about to cry.Trying to hold it back, he tried his best to smile and said, "The servant is not feeling well these days, and his face is full of pain, so he dare not enter the palace to greet the imperial concubine and master."

Wanxi got up in person, pushed Jiufujin to sit down, "Why don't I understand? Fortunately, Qilin Bao grew up and is sensible, and you have the gospel by your side... You are still a perfect son and daughter."

Jiu Fujin originally gave birth to two sons and two daughters, the eldest son Fu Long'an, the second son Fu Kang'an; the eldest daughter Fufu, and the second daughter is the youngest daughter who just died... Originally, the children made up the two pairs, but now they are still missing one to go.

Jiu Fujin nodded with tears in his eyes, "What the imperial concubine and master said is true. Although the young girl is gone, there is still Fuling, and the servant still has two sons and two daughters. The servant should be content."

Having said these pleasantries, Jiufujin still took a deep breath, raised his eyes and looked at Wanxi, "I will tell you the truth, Master Jiu, he...has been worried recently. The slave doesn't say those roundabout words in front of the master." Yes, the slave thinks that Master Jiu wanted to say goodbye to the master in person before leaving."

Wanxi felt sour for a long time because of this matter?

only……

Wanxi looked up at Jiufujin, but she still shook her head with a smile, "No, Lanpei, he doesn't need to see me, it's enough for you to see him off."

Wanxi said and asked Yuchan to take out a string of incense beads, "I heard that there is a lot of miasma in Yunnan. These incense beads are made of fragrant medicine. Please take it with you, Master Jiu, and use it to prevent miasma."

Jiufujin paused subconsciously.

Wanxi saw it, and smiled faintly, "Jiujiu personally selected the fragrance medicine used in this fragrance pearl. Many of them were brought by Concubine Rong's mother's family from the Western Regions. We don't have any in the interior, and all of them are dry and dehumidified. utility; the ones rubbing the beads are Little Fifteen and Little Seventeen; and the string on this incense bead was made by Liansheng herself."

"Whether in the country or at home, Master Jiu is not only a hero, but also the uncle of the children. They also want to do their best, and please don't dislike their rough craftsmanship."

Jiufujin's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but knelt down on the ground.

It's because she can't be completely grand after all...

In fact, why doesn't she feel sorry for Jiu Ye, she has already handed over the sign and entered the palace for Jiu Ye!It's just, it's just that she still can't help being a little bit narrow-minded.

Master Jiu is about to go to war, and the battlefield in Burma is so terrifying, it has already swallowed up a son and a nephew of her Fu family, how can she not worry about Master Jiu's safety?

So she had to be even more concerned about who the person she couldn't let go of after Jiu Ye left.

She and Jiuye have been husband and wife for these years, she only wants this time, and hopes that the person who holds the most weight in Jiuye's heart is her...

But the imperial concubine is so magnanimous that she has already prepared everything perfectly, which makes her seem so petty and unbearable.

She is also a woman, compared to the imperial concubine in the past few decades, there are still some things she can't compare to.

Wanxi got up in person and helped Jiufujin up, "Lan Pei, you must tell Jiuye that Jiuye is going to fight for the country, and all of us will accompany him all the way."

In February, the emperor gave Fu Henghe a feast for the officers and men who went out to see Fu Heng off in the Old Summer Palace.

With the determination to fight for the country, but also with reluctance and regret, Fu Heng led his army away.
.
When Master Jiu left, Wanxi looked calm, but in March, Wanxi still fell ill.

Gui Yunjie said to Wanxi that it's just the beginning of spring, and the imperial concubine just happens to be cold in spring, so it doesn't matter.

Only when he came in front of the emperor, Gui Yunsan did not dare to hide it. He frankly admitted that the imperial concubine had lost her vitality after many years of childbirth.

Hearing this, the emperor was in great pain, and put aside all the affairs in Beijing. He set off from Yuanmingyuan on the seventh day of March, and took Wanxi to tour Tangshan Palace and Panshan Palace.

Tangshan Palace is the nearest palace with Tangquan in Beijing, just like the Tangquan Palace near Rehe where Nala went, it can be used as a recuperation place.

The Panshan Palace is near Tianjin, which is the second largest palace outside the Summer Resort.The landscape is pleasant, and you can stay away from the anxiety and worry in the capital palace.

With such an arrangement, one can take a dip in the hot spring to recuperate first, and then go to the mountains and rivers to cultivate and relax after recovering from illness.It is the way to heal both body and mind.

The most unusual thing is that the emperor did not accompany the empress dowager on his tour this time.

This is rare.Since the emperor came to the throne, almost every time he went on tour, he must accompany the empress dowager; even in recent years, during the Mulan siege, the emperor did not bring the empress dowager with him, but he still went out of Beijing with the empress dowager first. The empress dowager stays in the summer resort.
.
The empress dowager also felt a little disappointed about this.

"I think back then, Lord Kangxi went to the Tangquan Palace with Empress Xiaozhuang Wen to treat her illness; our emperor rarely went to these Tangquan, but this time he finally went, but he did not bring Follow me~~"

The emperor and Wanxi were not in the palace, but Xiao Shiwu was.

Xiao Shiwu came to pay respects to the Empress Dowager every day, and said he was doing this for Empress Ama and Empress Empress.

It was also because Xiao Shiwu was in front of her eyes that the Empress Dowager endured it and didn't directly mention Wanxi's head.

After listening to the old lady's complaint, Xiao Shiwu lowered his head and smiled, "The ancestor of Empress Wen of Xiaozhuang went to Tangquan Palace because she was sick; Huang Ma's mother is in good health, even her grandson is worse than her." Come on, then naturally there is no need to go to the hot spring."

The Empress Dowager smiled helplessly, and stretched out her hands to wrap Xiao Shiwu up, "Oh, look at our Yuanzi's clever mouth~"

The concubines Shun, Yonggui and Lan Gui who were accompanying the empress dowager all raised their eyes to glance at the fifteenth elder brother, but there was nothing they could do.

Who let them have nothing to do by themselves? For an old lady of this age, a grandson is more valuable than a concubine.

This time the emperor made Concubine Qing a noble concubine, and the Empress Dowager was unwilling.Concubine Qing is a Han girl from the south of the Yangtze River, and even her mother's family entered the flag later, and that happened after entering the palace for more than ten or twenty years. In the previous years, Concubine Qing was a pure Han girl.

With such a background, plus having nowhere to go, why can she become a noble concubine?
But the emperor argued for Concubine Qing, firstly, there was already an example of Concubine Qing, and secondly, Concubine Qing is now raising fifteen elder brothers.Even if the emperor's words didn't make the empress dowager nod immediately, but the fifteenth elder brother came to intercede on behalf of Qing Guifei, and came to the empress dowager for several days in a row, kowtowing and personally serving the empress dowager to wash her face and comb her hair, instead calling the old lady My heart can no longer be hardened. ,

As the old lady got older, she could still put on a serious face with the emperor's son, but she couldn't be serious in front of her little grandson.

Now there are only two little princes in the harem, the fifteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother.After all, they are the children of the imperial concubine.

No matter which one the old lady likes, it is only beneficial to the imperial concubine, so what can others do?
When Wanxi and the emperor went to Tangshan Palace and Panshan Palace to recuperate, it happened to be a silkworm ceremony.

Yuqin, as a noble concubine, was finally able to replace the salute.
.
On March [-], the emperor returned with Wanxi.

Wanxi wasn't seriously ill at first, after several days of recuperation, she was fully recovered when she returned to Beijing.

Because of the merit of Tangquanshui, Yuqin and others said that after Wanxi came back, her complexion was radiant, and even the small wrinkles from before were smoothed away.

Wanxi is sympathetic and does not deny it, she says that the hot spring water is really good.

It's just that Wanxi knows in her heart that some sadness has been deeply rooted in her heart, no matter how warm Tang Spring Water is, it cannot be completely washed away.

It's just that she believes that Jiu Ye is in the southwest, and he will definitely win; moreover, she doesn't have time to indulge in sadness, because there are too many things waiting for her to do it herself.

In addition to the affairs of the harem, of course there are also the affairs of her own children.

The emperor has already given a message, saying that Xiao Qi will formally surrender next year.

It's already March this year, and there are not many days left for Wanxi to help her daughter prepare.
.
On March 24, Fu Heng had arrived in Yunnan.

From April, Fu Heng began to personally report to the emperor for the Southwest Army.The emperor trusted Fu Heng's report the most. With such a reassuring person personally supervising the army in the southwest, the emperor's heart was finally relieved, and he could finally take his mind off of military equipment for the time being and put it back on cultural governance.

Next is the imperial examination.

This year, the emperor ordered Liu Tongxun and Chen Hongmou, the academicians of this department, Debao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Yinglian, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Lu Zongkai, Minister of the Ministry of War, Cai Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Qian Weicheng, Zhang Ruoyu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Cao Xiuxian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, to test read for the palace. Roll officer.

Ying Lian went from being an official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to a capable minister who is good at earning money in the Ministry of Household Affairs. This year, he also became the examiner of the palace examination in one fell swoop.

But it is also a trick of fate, his grandson-in-law He Shen is also taking reference in this subject this year, but it is a pity that he has not been able to wait for the help of Ying Lian, and he has already lost his name in advance.
.
He Shen was unfavorable in his studies, and he couldn't hide his depression when he returned home.

Fujin Feng's family came to comfort him, He Shen held Fujin's hand, and said shamelessly, "It would be fine if it was another year, but this year I caught up with my grandfather to be the examiner of the palace examination, but I didn't pass the exam."

"I think my grandfather must have hoped to see my name on the palace examination paper, but I disappointed my grandfather..."

Feng Shi is the granddaughter of Ying Lian. Since her parents died early, she was brought up by her grandfather.Grandfather pityed that she had no parents since she was a child, and he was almost pampered and spoiled by her.

But Feng is not squeamish; also because he lost his parents since childhood, his temperament is more gentle and considerate.

Feng's in turn comforted He Shen, "Why should I regret going? If my grandfather enters the palace examination, then my grandfather will not be able to read your paper, but will avoid it."

He Shen patted Fujin's hand to express his thanks, but his eyes were still gloomy.

"Fu Jin is right, I thought of avoiding it. But I know my own knowledge, and I know what I answered in my papers... I just don't want to lose my reputation."

Feng Shi also frowned, "In my opinion, what is the reason?"

He Shen sighed, "I'm afraid that's the reason for the evasion. It's not that my grandfather wanted to evade, but other officials had discovered my relationship with my grandfather a long time ago. Maybe some people didn't want to benefit my grandfather, so they directly forced me to do so before the palace exam." ruled out."

"Who could it be?" Feng Shi was also a little worried.

He Shen bowed his head and thought carefully, "I am an official student of Xian'an Palace, and I signed up for Shuntian Mansion on my own. At this time, because Mr. Zhongyong went to Yunnan to manage military affairs, many supplies in Beijing were sent to Yunnan. The emperor wanted to avoid someone If it is delayed, I will order the son of Duke Zhongyong, Fu Long'an, the fourth concubine, to temporarily manage the affairs of Shuntian Mansion."

"Master suspected the fourth son-in-law and made things difficult on purpose?" Feng Shi was taken aback, "But my grandfather was also a person promoted by Duke Zhongyong back then."

When Yuqin's mother's family entered the flag, Fu Heng personally went to do it.Master Jiu personally chose Yinglian as his assistant, and asked Yinglian to take care of the Lu family.

He Shen nodded after thinking about it, "I'm just guessing, and I can't be sure."

At this time, He Shen didn't know that, if he dared to do so, he and Fu Heng's family would also have a grievance.

These grievances last until life and death.
.
Although He Shen was unfavorable in the imperial examination this year, he was fortunate to be born in a family with hairpin tassels for generations.

Because of his ancestors' military exploits, his family once won a "third-class captain of light vehicles" for the family (the third rank).

Heshen was 20 years old in this year, and 20 years old can be the age for inheriting the world.Therefore, He Shen passed the exam and was able to inherit this world job.This position belongs to his family, and to him, it has been hereditary for five generations.

Although he failed the imperial examination, He Shen finally obtained a formal birth by virtue of his family's ancestral shadow.

The 20-year-old He Shen officially entered the historical stage of the Qing Dynasty.

When he stepped onto the stage of history with a young posture, it was the time when the ninth master Fu Heng left the capital and studied in Yunnan.

History seems to have left a gap for Heshen.

And this year, because Fu Hengyuan went to Yunnan, Jiuye's eldest son, Fu Long'an, was sent by the emperor to many errands; as Jiuye's second son, Fu Kang'an also gained the emperor's attention little by little.

After being awarded the third-class bodyguard two years ago and walking in the Qianqing Gate, this year Fukang'an was promoted to the second-class bodyguard and walked in front of the imperial court.

Commonly known as "second-class imperial guard".

Fukang'an was one step ahead and had already arrived at the emperor's side, waiting for the day when the two favorite ministers would meet.

It's just that at this moment, Fu Kang'an doesn't know that He Shen will come later.He was in front of the imperial court at this time, and he had to go through a torn heartache first.

This heart pupil, on the one hand, is concerned about the situation of Ama, who is in his fifth year, in the southwest;

If he is not a bodyguard, or not a bodyguard in front of the imperial court, he can stay away from the inner court, even if he wants to hear about the princess; it is a pity that he is in front of the imperial court.

Or if his family can stay away from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I don’t know what the Ministry of Internal Affairs has prepared for Xiao Qi, it will be better—but his father Fu Heng is the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and after Ama left Beijing, this position has been changed. Represented by my brother.

Day by day, he walked carefully in front of the imperial court, but he couldn't dodge or hide. Day by day, he was hit by Xiaoqi's upcoming marriage.
.
Because the Manchus value their daughters, the Manchus have a tradition of "marriage generously".That is to say, when the daughter gets married, there are a lot of things to accompany her.

This is especially true for Princess Lijiang.What to accompany and the dowry to prepare also vary according to the princess's name.

Wanxi and the Ministry of Internal Affairs bought the dowry for Xiaoqi, so naturally they should prepare according to the rank of Princess Heshuo.

The dowry dowry for Princess Heshuo is stipulated: to accompany a hat inlaid with nine oriental beads, a golden flower on the back of the soft hat inlaid with turquoise and coral pendant beads, a golden Buddha with two inlaid oriental beads, one inlaid with oriental beads and turquoise A golden flower on the back of a straw hat, surrounded by a gold collar inlaid with seven east pearls, a gold hoop inlaid with nine east pearls, and two gold flowers with one small bead inlaid in each bead...

In addition, there are Baotou, cloth, leather jacket, toothbrush, rouge, sip, wooden comb, grate, furoshiki, box, felt, bathtub, hanger, table, mirror case and frame, etc., and so on.

There are also living people who are dowry, mothers, mothers, three second-class women, four third-class women, men and women with dowry household registration, etc...

Almost when a woman arrives at her husband's house, everything she uses in her life is accompanied by her.It was enough for the princess to arrive at the concubine's house, with no shortage of food and clothing.

Just preparing for these, Wanxi is enough to be busy from morning till night.What's more, Xiaoqi is her eldest daughter, so she has to pay more attention to everything, so she has to be busy until very late.

But in this way, the emperor was not satisfied.
