Qing Dynasty Secret History

Chapter 34

It is said that when Fu Heng's class teacher returned to the court, Emperor Gaozong summoned him and asked him for more than two hours. What he talked about was nothing more than the situation of the war and the strategy for dealing with the aftermath.Gaozong was very happy when he retired from the court after asking.At this time, the servants and eunuchs were in communication with the courtiers. Among them was Qiu Delu, a confidant of Heshen. He immediately went to Heshen's private residence and told him: "See you today, Majesty Fu Zhongtang, and the performance was correct for more than two hours. , the Lord is overjoyed."

He Shen hurriedly asked what was the order.

Eunuch Qiu said: "Our lord has issued many orders. Old Fu Zou said that Tianshan North Road is the Zhunbu, and Tianshan South Road is the Huibu. After the defeat, the king of Hui, Abu Dushit, pulled himself out to vote. The holy ancestor sent someone to escort him to Hami, and then he got rid of the shackles of the quasi-bu. He was defeated and taken captive to Ili, and detained his two sons, Dahe Zhuomu and Xiaohe Zhuomu, in Ili. Back to the old department, only Xiao and Zhuo Mu were left there. Good intentions, no good rewards. Unexpectedly, Xiaohe Zhuo Mu helped Ah Ni and resisted the heavenly soldiers. went.

" He Shen said: "Old Fu means nothing more than to transfer the master of victory back to the Ministry.How does the emperor feel? "

Eunuch Qiu said: "Our lord is not very happy, so he just replied to him lightly: "Why bother to look at Shu when we already have Long. Ili is well-governed, and that's enough." It's no fun."

Eunuch Qiu said: "Old Master Fu said a few more words, Yin just touched our Lord's heart."

He Shen was startled and said, "It actually touched the emperor's heart? Oh! He's really good at trying to figure it out. What are you talking about? Tell me."

Eunuch Qiu said: "He said that Xiaohe Zhuo Mu's wife is a stunning woman in Huibei, named Xiangfeier. This Xiangfeier's charming and romantic, is really unparalleled in the sky, rare in the world. Nothing else is surprising, she There is a strange fragrance on the jade body, and every time after bathing, the water is full of fragrance. The palace guards are fighting to hide it, so Xiaohe Zhuo Mu spoils her very much. Our master only works hard on the girl , you always know."

He Shen smiled and said: "Who doesn't know that today is the emperor of the romantic, otherwise the old Fu would not be so popular, most likely relying on the influence of his family members."

Eunuch Qiu said with a smile: "There's no need to mention that, our lord heard that Xiang Fei'er was not fake, her body was full of fragrance, her eyes were like lines when she smiled, and she couldn't help saying it was funny. "

He Shen said: "There is such a strange person! Not to mention the emperor, I am too hungry to hear it."

Eunuch Qiu said: "That's easy, you just ask for a job and go back to Xinjiang, don't worry if you don't get it first."

He Shen said: "I don't have the ability."

After Qiu Delu left, He Shen turned his thoughts all night.When he entered the court the next day, he asked Xingshi to requisition him.Gao Zongdao: "Lianghe Zhuomu, Gu En helped rebel against the original crime and there is no way to live, but Lian finally couldn't bear to punish him for not teaching.

General Zhaohui has been ordered to go to the imperial court, as long as they come to court in fear of crime, I don't want to be troublesome. "

He Shen said: "The situation of the barbarians is unpredictable, so that the return chieftain is afraid of crime for a while, so he must think of a proper way."

Gao Zongdao: "It's rare to find a proper solution. Do you have any?"

He Shen said: "Lianghe Zhuo Mu is here. This slave wants to keep Xiaohe Zhuo Mu in the capital and reward him with an official position. He simply asks him to bring his family with him so as not to repeat himself again. This is the muddleheaded idea of ​​this slave. , can be collected or not, and pray for the emperor's instructions."

Gao Zongle said: "You are the only one who agrees with me in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and I think so too. Let's wait for Zhao Huizuo to report, and then slowly think about it."

At this time, Emperor Gaozong was determined to use troops. Although it was in the middle of winter, he did not forget to practice martial arts.Every day, the Eight Banners are ordered to shoot in Xiyuan. The guards in front of the imperial court also draw their bows and arrows, and shoot back and forth.

On this day, a close attendant said: "Northern wind all night, the three seas in Xiyuan were frozen. I haven't used the ice bed this year, so please let me know if I will use it today."

Gao Zongdao: "Is it snowing?"

The attendant replied: "It's cloudy, I'm afraid I'm going to go down, it hasn't gone down yet."

Gao Zongdao said: "The decree has been delivered and they are ready, including the Empress Dowager.

If the queen mother is happy, she will be happy to serve her elderly. "

The servant passed the decree to finish.

Gaozong went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to invite the Empress Dowager.It turned out that the ice bed was made by Gao Zong's unique ingenuity. It is similar to a sedan chair. Eight people push and pull to walk on the ice. .When Emperor Gaozong saw the Empress Dowager, he laughed and said: "This year's weather is warm, and the three seas were frozen last night. The ministers have asked them to get off the ice bed. I want to invite the Empress Dowager to have fun there for a day. I don't know if the Empress Dowager will show her face or not."

The queen mother smiled and said: "It's hard for you to be filial, to play with me like this every year. They pick up and drop off the tired ones, and it's a pity for you to kneel down in the freezing weather."

Gao Zongdao: "The empress dowager is extremely benevolent and holy, and she cares about all things, and her ministers should follow her up. Just kneel down and kneel down to see her off. The court system, the state's rituals, and the subjects should do what they should do. You don't have to pity him."

The Empress Dowager nodded, and then asked: "Are you going to shoot in school today?"

Gaozong answered "yes".The Queen Mother turned to her attendants and said, "Bring more things, I want to reward you."

Gao Zongdao: "If the Queen Mother has to worry about it again, how will the ministers be able to be!"

The Empress Dowager said: "If the arrows are shot well, rewarding them with something will also make them happy."

At present, Emperor Gaozong accompanied the Queen Mother to ride an ice bed in Xiyuan, reviewing riding and shooting, and had fun all day.There is a poem from later generations: drag the bed to grind out Yue Bingxi, and walk in the team to pull up the five-color flag.

Huang Wei is in the middle to worship the charity chariot, and the sable sits in the sun and relaxes late.

When the car drove back to the palace, it was time to light up the lights. The attendant presented Zhaohui and Yili handed over a playbook.When Emperor Gaozong unpacked it, he roughly said, "Amintu, the deputy governor, was sent to appease according to the order. Dahe Zhuomu was obedient, and Xiaohe Zhuomu was very stubborn. He ordered his brother to rise up to resist. Dahe Zhuomu was Confused by my brother, I have already led the people to defend the danger, spread the news to the cities, helped each other, and returned hundreds of thousands of households, all of them followed suit. Guessing what they mean is simply because I have won the new Ministry in the court, and the opposite side is not yet determined. I am anxious not to use troops, so I dare So rampant. The bureau has changed, and whether it is possible to enter the army, the slaves dare not be self-sufficient, please follow the order" and other words, after Gaozong saw it, he was really hesitant. If he didn't use soldiers, Xiangfei would never get it; , and afraid that the general will be reckless, it is useless if he cannot be captured alive.In this matter, it was not convenient to issue a decree clearly, and I turned around and thought about it, and there was no good plan.That night, I didn't even have a good dinner, so I slept on the bed, going back and forth, and never closed my eyes until dawn.

Shen Gongxiao, with this clumsy mouth, really can't describe it enough.Eunuch Qiu had already informed He Shen.He Shen sighed: "The emperor is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and it is our fault as ministers that the Holy Majesty is so anxious."

Eunuch Qiu said: "Lao He, you have a way to share our worries. The friendship between the two of you cannot be regarded as an ordinary monarch and minister."

He Shen said: "People are not grass and trees. The Holy Majesty loves me so much. It is really hard to avenge death. Now there is a way, but it is inconvenient to present it to the public. It is best to bother you and go back to explore Yizhi. If the Holy Majesty is happy, I will See you again single, Mimi Chen Zou. What do you think?"

Eunuch Qiu said, "Isn't it good to play for you?"

He Shen said: "I'm afraid it's not very convenient to play the substitute!

Eunuch Qiu laughed and said, "What kind of sneaky business is it?"Thinking about that day, our master and you two were in the deep green sky of Yuanmingyuan, and they said they were discussing military and state affairs in secret. I didn’t know it, but I bumped in and saw it. I almost never broke my stomach laughing. .In fact, you guys are too bold, you didn't even close the door, that's all, after all, it's not a grandiose thing.Fortunately, the two of us have friendship, otherwise, your old man's reputation will inevitably become mediocre. "

He Shen blushed with embarrassment when Eunuch Qiu talked about his shortcomings, and said nothing.Eunuch Qiu said: "What's the matter? I haven't told anyone else. If you want to do this, the two of us don't look like confidants anymore."

He Shen said: "Yes, yes, it's not early yet, and you should go back to the palace. Please keep it in your heart.

" Eunuch Qiu smiled and went away.

But during the meal time, Eunuch Qiu came again on horseback, and Yizhao Heshen Yangxin Palace saw him.

He Shen was overjoyed and followed Eunuch Qiu into the court.After the ceremony, Emperor Gaozong gave him a seat on the footrest, and then asked: "Hui Zi is rampant, Qiu Delu said that you have a secret plan, but is it true?"

He Shen played back, the slave is just a fool who got it, whether he can adopt it or not, he still asks the emperor to judge him.

Gao Zongxi said, "It's good to have a way. Tell me." "

He Shen said: "The soldiers and horses of this dynasty are strong and have sufficient food and wages. When they start a battle, they will not worry about winning. I am afraid that the generals who command the army will not express their sacred intentions, and they will fight brutally. If they lose a little bit, the difference is thousands of miles. Although the territory is opened up, it is like winning a stone field. , isn't the emperor just worried about this?"

Unconsciously, Gaozong said in the front seat: "Heshen, you are really smart and capable, and you can guess what's on my mind as soon as you guess it.

" He Shen said: "I'll see you, slave, and it's not worth anything to go to Tianxin occasionally. "

Gao Zongdao: "Do you have a way to deal with this matter?"

He Shen said: "As far as the slave is confused, the emperor has made an order to start the war. The slave will write another letter to him in private. If the emperor has any orders that are inconvenient to declare clearly, the slave will take care of him in detail. The emperor sees the slave's idea. Son, are you all right?"

Gao Zong was so happy that he stood upright and said: "My son, you are really lovely. If this matter is done, it will be all thanks to you."

He Shen said: "The country is mighty, the emperor is blessed, this matter is known to the slaves, and it will always succeed."

Gaozong was very happy, and then ordered Zhaohui to attack with cameras.This edict was sent together with Heshen's private letter.

Just as Tian Ge pointed out, the clown was wiped out immediately.Unexpectedly, there are so many Lianghe Zhuo Mu. When they return to the Ministry, whether it is a city, a village or a fort, they are all united as one, people's hearts are united, and their will is a city.And the back to the city is built on the hills, which are made of sand, stone and wicker.The Qing army repeatedly attacked and failed repeatedly, losing troops and generals, and I don't know how many people they lost.Helpless, Gao Zongzhi was determined to win, so he added troops and wages, and stepped forward. If one thousand people died, two thousand people would be transferred, and if two thousand people died, four thousand people would be transferred.Huijiang in this small place is so powerful, mantis arms can't stop the car, and swinging the sword can't return to the sun. Lianghe Zhuomu just led the remnant soldiers to the neighboring Badak Mountain.The general of the Qing Dynasty, where he was willing to give up, ordered the poor and oppressed, and at the same time flew to invite interception.Badakshan didn't dare to disobey, so he immediately killed brother He Zhuo and dedicated his family members to the camp.So he returned to Xiping, which was the 38th year of Qianlong.It has been as many as seven years since I started teaching in 22, and the cost of money and food is like the sands of the Ganges River.

When the good news arrived in Beijing, Emperor Gaozong heard that Concubine Xiang was safe, and the rest didn't care.But He Shen couldn't see it, and said in secret: "The soldiers of the Western Expedition have fought against wind and rain for seven years. It seems that it is not appropriate to be too light-hearted." Gao Zong said: "Do you want me to seal them? It's not too late to seal them when they return to Beijing."

He Shen said: "The emperor's grace, they didn't dare to worry about the time, but the concubine Xiang is still in the camp, escorted by thousands of miles. Although they are not very good, as long as they are careless, they will make a lot of mistakes. Besides, they built This idea is a bit of work, and sooner or later there will always be grace, and it will not be a matter of one or two months."

Gao Zong said with a smile: "It's because you are thoughtful and reminded me, let's seal them up quickly."

As he said that, he drew up a pen to draw up a decree, and suddenly hesitated and said: "Zhaohui has already conferred the title of first-class Duke Wuyi Mouyong. According to the ancestral system, there is no title to add. What do you want me to confer on him?"

He Shen said: "According to the humble opinion of the slave, it is better to reward him with a royal-grade saddle bridle. But this favor comes from above, and the slave is nothing more than offering it. Whether it is acceptable or not, I still pray for the holy order!"

Gao Zongdao: "Your idea, considering profit and loss, is very reasonable, I will follow you."

So it was decreed to reward Wu Yimouyong first-class general Zhaohui, the royal family's public-grade saddle bridle, and Cheng Yongbo Jingni general Fude as first-class marquis, and the rest of the contributing officers and soldiers were all awarded.It was also decreed that steles and inscriptions should be erected in Jingshi University and various places where wars were fought to describe meritorious deeds.In February of the following year, Master Wang returned triumphantly, and Emperor Gaozong issued a special decree to build a general altar three miles south of Liangxiang, with a big banner on it, in preparation for a suburban labor ceremony.

On this day, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture and the admirals of Bamen received the Zhili governor's speech, knowing that the vanguard of the triumphant army had arrived at the border of Baoding, only four stations away from Liangxiang, and they were busy with the joint title.Emperor Gaozong passed on the decree and set off. Prince Baylor, six ministries and nine ministers, Manchu and Han civil and military, all set out with retinues.

The banners and guards of honor are neatly arranged for three to five miles.The places where the imperial driver passed by were first cleaned by people one day, and yellow sand was laid. Every intersection was guarded by forbidden brigades, and pedestrians were not allowed to come and go.Therefore, the flat road for tens of miles is quiet and there is no scene of noisy crowds.The car drove to Liangxiang, and the triumphant army just arrived.

Zhaohui and Fude's triumphant return this time, if they followed the station, they should have gone to Beijing at the end of the month, because Yin Feizi, Governor of Zhili Shuntian Prefecture, knew that Emperor Gaozong built an altar and set up a banner, and personally performed the suburban labor ceremony, so he traveled day and night. Enter.On this day, when we arrived at the boundary of Liangxiang, the front team inspected Ma Fei and reported to the Chinese army, saying that Gaozong Yujia was waiting at the general altar.Zhaohui and Fude hurriedly passed on the order to the generals, telling them to put on armor and march in order.After walking less than ten miles, I saw Wu Qi riding a Guandong horse galloping towards the place where the dust head started. The first two riders were Fu Heng, He Shen, Zhao and Fu hurriedly got off to meet each other.He Shen said: "Your driver will be promoted to the altar next time, we are here to urge you.

"Zhaohui and Fude hurriedly got on their horses again, and rode forward with Heshen and others. Heshen was on the horse and asked: "Concubine Xiang is traveling all the way, whether she is riding a horse or a sedan chair, the emperor misses it very much!" "

Zhaohui said: "The horse is not very stable, we use a sedan chair."

He Shen said: "That's all.

Who to send to help the sedan chair? "

Zhaohui said: "Admiral Niu and Ma Zongbing are very honest and careful people. How confused I am for this kind of urgent mission, I never dare to send young people to fill it."

He Shen said, "How old are Ma and Niu?"

Zhaohui said: "About five or sixty years old!"

He Shen said: "Your Majesty sees it, this must be explained first, the emperor is very worried."

Fu Heng asked Lao Jun if he had seen the gift list.Zhaohui said: "The former son received the Zhili governor's message on the [-]th of this month, and he arrived in Liangxiang on the [-]th when he was sent to the capital. .Why did it suddenly change again?"

Fu Hengdao: "It was originally scheduled to be held on the [-]th. Later, Qintian supervised the performance. He was afraid that there would be a wind on this day. The emperor said, "We are doing suburban labor ceremonies. What's the fun?' It was called moving the previous two days."

As he said that, the guard of honor in front of the imperial court had already seen him from afar.

Suddenly, two eunuchs flew on horseback to deliver an edict, saying, "I'm here to send you an order, General Zhaohui, General Jingni Fude, lead the team to the altar to wait for the suburban workers, and no one will get off their horses. I respect you."

Zhaofu and Zhaofu, after receiving the decree of grace, went forward respectfully and solemnly, and will come to the altar next time.He Shen and others dismounted and walked.

I saw Gaozong leading Manchu and Han civil and military personnel to welcome him down from the altar.Zhaohui Fude had no choice but to kowtow on horseback to congratulate him.Gao Zong's relatives helped them get off their horses, ascended to the altar together, and paid four obeisances to Dazhu.Then he was promoted to Royal Huang Wei, and the general waited to see him on his knees.After the ceremony, pass the decree to rest.This night, I drive and spend the night in Liangxiang City.When he returned to the court the next day, Emperor Gaozong issued an edict: Huo Jizhan's brothers Da, Xiao and Zhuo Mu, who were benevolent and rebellious, wanted to kill themselves.As far as the ancestors and elders are concerned, there is no crime, which is not comparable to that of Junggar.All the old Hezhuo and other tombs outside the city of Ka are still ordered to return to their households to guard them, so as not to collect woodcutters and filth, so as to show the kindness of the country.This is it.

Reader, why do you think Gao Zong made such a decree of kindness all of a sudden?It turned out that although the concubine Xiang had a snow-skinned and beautiful figure, she had a pure and clear ambition.Falling flowers are intentional, flowing water is ruthless, Gaozong can't do anything to her.The special kindness is nothing more than asking her to think about her homeland a little bit, so that she can be favored by the new king.When Zhao Huijie reported to Beijing, Emperor Gaozong had asked someone to tidy up a bedroom for her in Xiyuan, and to furnish it according to the Huibang system.As soon as Concubine Xiang arrived, she sent eunuch Gong'e to welcome her into the Xiyuan bedroom and serve her respectfully.

Because the food in the imperial dining room was unclean, a new stove was set up in Xiyuan, and Muslim cooks were selected to cook fine dishes for returning home. All palace supervisors who served Xiangfei were not allowed to eat pork privately.

Thoughtful and considerate, the courteous treatment is grand, and it can be regarded as the utmost benevolence in Gaozong.Helplessly, Concubine Xiang turned a blind eye, neither showing gratitude nor showing any determination, she put on clothes as soon as she came, and ate as soon as she came, the servants said she was kind, just nodded, at most said "I know" and it was over.In the Xiyuan, wandering here and there, I was very happy. I saw all kinds of flowers and plants. Some of them were unknown, so I asked the eunuchs.

That night when Emperor Gaozong came, the palace supervisors asked her to pick him up, and then Concubine Xiang said: "I am no match for you. I am not used to such servile things. If you want to come, just come, I will not kick him out. Putting on airs and telling him not to come and put on airs, I don't want to see it.

"The eunuch said: "The system in the palace is like this.If the empress doesn't pick me up, the master only says that we didn't teach the empress, and we will be taught a lesson in vain. The empress should only pity us.

"Speaking, he knelt down and kept kowtowing. The concubine Xiang didn't pay attention, and the eunuch had no choice but to tell Gaozong. Gaozong said: "A newcomer can't ask her too much. "

When he said that, he had already entered the bedroom.I saw Concubine Xiang standing by the window, with willow eyebrows locked in emerald sandalwood and Dan in her mouth, she looked good.The eunuch reported: "The emperor is here!"

Concubine Xiang didn't even look straight at her, she leaned against the window, admiring her night view.Gao Zong had no choice but to strike up a conversation and sit down, and said: "Jiu Mu Fangze, He Sheng misses it! Today, we are lucky to have a romantic relationship, and the two of us have to meet here.

"Xiangfei ignored it. Gaozong was next to the window and smelled a burst of strange fragrance. He felt that it came from Xiangfei's body. It smelled better than all the fragrances of flowers and medicines. It was really intoxicating and fascinated. No Jue said again: "Since you have come here, you have to follow the system here, and it is useless to be homesick.What do you want, whether it is food, clothing, play, tell me, and I will always obey.The palace eunuchs are not good, just tell me. "

Xiangfei is still speechless.Gao Zongdao: "You are such a smart person, why are you so stubborn? I am the great emperor of the Celestial Dynasty. Compared with the chief of Huibu, I always have a better idea. Now the emperor and empress are suffering from three disasters and eight disasters, and they are often ill. If something happens, the Lian If you are upright, you will be the mother of the whole country at that time, whoever you are, you will never be better than you."

After hearing this, Concubine Xiang, Li Huafen's face was immediately covered with heavy frost, and the two streams of water and autumn waves were doomed to Gaozong like lightning. Judging by her look, she seemed to have made an extraordinary move.Gaozong was afraid, so he got up and said: "I have gone back to the palace, you can persuade her well, if you persuade her to change her mind, I will give you a lot of rewards."

Talking and leading from others.

Concubine Xiang was in the palace, chatting and laughing with the palace supervisors, but when Gaozong came, her face changed instantly, with a cold and lonely look, which made people dare not think of lewdness.Seeing how loyal she was, Emperor Gaozong respected and loved her more and more. He specially selected a group of eloquent palace eunuchs to persuade her to change her mind.If you want to know whether the concubine Xiang obeys the order or not, let's listen to the next chapter.
