Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2623, Volume 11, Guardian, Our Son
In November of the 50th year of Qianlong, it was deduced by Qin Tianjian that next year, that is, the first day of the first month of the 51st year of Qianlong, there will be another solar eclipse. (These solar eclipses and lunar eclipses are all recorded and historical facts~)

The 75-year-old emperor issued a decree: stop court celebration banquets.All rescue ceremonies are carefully prepared by the Yamen.

He has been at the pole for 50 years, and he has experienced too many solar and lunar eclipses in these 50 years.

Some he doesn't care about, but some he puts on top of his heart, more important than everything else in this world.

For example, before Wanxi passed away, he ordered civil and military officials to perform the first aid ceremony for the lunar eclipse; but this time, he will also perform the first aid ceremony for the solar eclipse.

This is no wonder, after all, the emperor is 75 years old this year.On New Year's Day, there will be a solar eclipse from the sky. At this age, who can not tremble.

"They all say 73, 84, the King of Hades doesn't call, go by yourself."

It was snowing heavily, and the red walls and golden tiles of the Forbidden City were wrapped in plain silver makeup, and He Shen and Fu Chang'an walked side by side.Putting on the end hood and holding the stove in the cuffs, even on this cold winter day with heavy snow, I don't feel cold anymore.

However, there was a chill in the hearts of the two of them.

Fu Chang'an's eyes were full of confusion, and he couldn't help sighing, "The emperor is afraid of this solar eclipse, but who of us is not worried about it? So far, which prince's name is sealed on the back of the 'upright and bright' plaque, we still dare not call it Na~"

Both of them are now close ministers of the emperor, but both of them also understand that everything about the two of them is given by the emperor in front of them.

It is said that once the emperor and the courtiers, if the old emperor goes to Bintian, it is hard to say how the new emperor will treat them.

The two of them now, the biggest thought is to use their status as the emperor's close ministers to quickly guess the old emperor's mind.

Otherwise, the day of the old emperor's death may also be the time when the two of them return to ordinary life.

Compared with Fu Chang'an's panic, He Shen is ten years older, so at this moment, it seems that he is walking more steadily and his eyes are more determined.

"If we talk about Kaner Year, next year is not the Emperor's Kaner Year. On the contrary, the year before last, Qianlong's 48th year was the Emperor's Kaner Year of 73. Do you see that the Emperor has come here steadily?"

In the 48th year of Qianlong, the biggest thing the emperor did was to go back to Shengjing.

Perhaps it was the blessings of the ancestors in Shengjing, who made the emperor's Kaner year pass smoothly.

Although on the way back to Luan from Shengjing, the emperor once said to He Shen personally, "I have fulfilled Shengjing's wish, but I will not be able to pass this difficult year, and I will rest in peace..."

He Shen naturally thought that the "Shengjing wish" that the emperor said was fulfilled was that the Wensu Pavilion was repaired in the old palace of Shengjing, and the "Siku Quanshu" was placed~
But Fu Chang'an didn't feel at ease, and tilted his head to stare at He Shen, "You mean, the emperor can live longer? But look, next year there will be a solar eclipse... Could it be that the heavens are seriously warning?"

He Shen lowered his eyes lightly, "Even if it is, you don't need to panic. After all, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne, it's all up to us."

In Heshen's view, even a decisive emperor like the old emperor has the ability to be highly valued by the emperor; the new emperor who has just ascended the throne has an unstable foundation, so how can he not rely on him?

Fu Chang'an glanced at He Shen worriedly, "Although that's the case, but... I don't want to be that one after all."

Among all the princes today, the one who called He Shen the most "restrained and immovable" is the fifteenth elder brother.

He Shen smiled disdainfully, "When the imperial concubine Ling Yi was alive, she was in charge of the sixth palace. I had to worry that the crown prince would be the fifteenth elder brother. But now that the imperial concubine Ling Yi has passed away for so many years, I look at the ten The limelight of the first elder brother surpassed that of the fifteenth elder brother."

Eleventh elder brother Yongxing and Fu Changan are cousins ​​because of Concubine Shu; what's more, Yongxing's direct descendant Fujin is Fu Changan's older sister Fuling~
And the reason why Heshen himself was able to take his time is because his son, Fengshen Yinde, has been selected as the forehead of the ten princesses... No matter which prince will ascend the throne in the future, he will look at it for the sake of the emperor's young daughter , so as not to go to war.

Fu Changan was relieved, but he was still a little uncertain, "Master He, do you... really think Eleven Brother has a better chance of winning?"

He Shen chuckled, "Brother Eleven used to have a ridiculous reputation, and I didn't dare to place my trust in him. But the death of Empress Xiaoshengxian made me see the emperor's intentions... ..."

He Shen stood in the snow, raising his head proudly.

"On the first day of May in the 42nd year of Qianlong, the sacred tablet of Empress Xiaoshengxian was promoted to Taimiao and Fengxian Hall. The emperor personally carried the sacred tablet of Empress Xiaoshengxian into the Taimiao Temple, knelt down in worship, and bowed to salute. Empress Shengxian's amulet, respectfully ascended, enshrined on the second throne of empress filial piety."

"And in the ascension ceremony of the Empress Xiaoshengxian's sacred plaque, the emperor sent the emperor's eleventh son, Yongxuan, to hold the sacred plaque of the Empress Xiaoshengxian, and entered the hall of the Xiandian. The fifteenth emperor Zi Yongyan respectfully held the amulet of Empress Xiaoxian, went out to the hallway and knelt down to welcome her, and followed her into the second bedroom on the right."

"When Empress Xiaoshengxian paid homage to Emperor Sejongxian and paid respects to Empress Xian, Yongxuan, the eleventh son of the emperor, placed the sacred tablet of Empress Xiaoshengxian on the throne, respectfully saluting. The fifteenth son of the emperor, Yong Yanan Honor Empress Xiaoxian's tablet, and respectfully pay homage to Empress Xiaoshengxian on her behalf."

He Shen said and glanced at Fu Chang'an, "Look, in the empress dowager's ascension ceremony, the eleventh elder brother is always ahead of the fifteenth elder brother. If the emperor prefers the fifteenth elder brother, what will the emperor do?" How could it be possible to make elder brother Eleven to hold the Empress Dowager's god card, while elder brother fifteen is one level lower and only hold the Empress Xiaoxian's god card?"

The empress dowager's ascension ceremony is naturally one of the most important royal ceremonies, and the rank of the prince reflected in the ceremony is naturally an important symbol.

Fu Changan also heaved a sigh of relief, "You are right!"

He Shen flicked his cuffs, "You are young, and you have never experienced many things in the past, so you don't know. Let me remind you again: there have always been royal family members and ministers who have passed away, and the emperor has sent princes Drinking wine. But these years, the emperor has never sent Brother Eleven to give a drinking drink to any minister..."

"Although the [-]th elder brother is rare, after all, there was a libation for his master Jueluo Fengkuan... From this, it can be seen that the emperor may have made arrangements long ago, but we just don't want us to see through it."

Having said that, the two stood in the heavy snow, against the background of the red walls and golden tiles of the Forbidden City, and smiled at each other.

They all think that they are close ministers of the emperor, so they naturally have more opportunities and abilities than others, and they can see through the secrets early.
.
Because of the solar eclipse, the atmosphere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was a bit oppressive.

Everyone thought that the emperor was worried about the solar eclipse, and he had only been sitting in the Ming Chuang Hall for half an hour, and he was still depressed.

Wei Zhu was also an old man, squinting at the emperor from a distance, but his eyes were blurred and he couldn't see clearly.

He called Ruyi over, "Go, ah, coax the emperor."

Ruyi's name is well-earned, and it makes people feel as if everything can be satisfactory; besides, the emperor loves jade, and he especially likes jade Ruyi in the shape of jade -- even the emperor sits on these thrones in the palace, one by one. All of them put a jade ruyi handle so that the emperor can play with it at any time.

The eunuch Ruyi was a haha ​​bead eunuch who grew up beside the emperor since she was a child, and she is very clever.

Ruyi pondered for a while, then called out, "It's the servant's business", she drooped her sleeves, and walked into the Mingchuang Hall with a bow.
.
Ruyi was not in a hurry to talk about the important things first, but instead answered with some unimportant things first, took the opportunity to take out the grate, and grate his head for the emperor.

This is also a kind of massage, the emperor's mood is much more relaxed when the top of the head is comfortable.

The emperor snorted, "You monkey bastard, you've even learned this."

Ruyi fell back on her knees: "In the past few years, this servant has seen that whenever the emperor has something in his heart, he will call someone to break up the braids again, and use a grate to untangle the hair...The servant has learned it, thinking to himself, saying that this hair It's three thousand troubles, if the servant is lucky enough to help the emperor smooth out all these troubles, the emperor will be at ease."

The emperor nodded, but lowered his head, staring at his lonely figure on the ground, he tried to laugh, but a sob came up in his throat.

Ruyi bowed her head deeply, but she didn't dare to see the emperor's mourning.

He watched his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth, and said cautiously, "I just remembered that when Empress Xiaoshengxian was still there, every time I met a Kaner year, a solar eclipse, and a lunar eclipse, The emperor always congratulates Empress Xiaoshengxian..."

The emperor slowly raised his head, his gaze fell on Ruyi's face.

After a while, he said, "Yes, you are right."
.
Ruyi withdrew, her brow was sweating from nervousness.Going out, he hurriedly asked Wei Zhu, "Master, His Majesty...is he really worried about the solar eclipse this time?"

They are people in front of the emperor, and they have experienced too many solar eclipses with the emperor, but they have never seen the emperor so depressed.

Wei Zhu sighed, "The emperor is worried about the solar eclipse, but not just for this time on New Year's Day next year. The Qin Tianjian came to report, and reported two solar eclipses - not only the solar eclipse at the beginning of next year, but also calculated On the first day of the 60th year of Qianlong, it was also a solar eclipse!"

"Ah?" Ruyi was also startled, "So, wouldn't the prince be bearing a bad omen?"

The emperor has repeatedly issued decrees, saying that he will return to power in the 60th year of Qianlong.If it is true that the government was officially handed over to the new emperor on the first day of the 60th year of Qianlong, and the new emperor sat in the palace on the first day, he would catch up with the solar eclipse-wouldn't it be spread by those who are interested, saying that the prince is not God's will? return?
Ruyi carefully stretched out a slap in front of Wei Zhu, and slapped it back and forth three times, "What the emperor is really worried about is not his own size; but—this one?"

Wei Zhu also sighed, "Isn't that right. This year, something sad happened to my son, and the emperor is distressed, but he can't say it clearly."

On July [-]th, the [-]th elder brother Fujin had a miscarriage, lost too much blood, and became weaker and weaker.
