Qing Dynasty Secret History

Chapter 86
It is said that when Mu Zong was traveling in the city, he met a Hanyu in the monastery, with a bitter look and a poor voice, standing in the hall of Arhats and weeping.I was very surprised in my heart, and couldn't help stepping forward and asking: "What are you doing? Why are you crying?"

The man raised his head and saw that it was a young man, and he said, "Master, the villain has always followed the officials, but because he was kicked out by the master, he has no home to return to.

Living here, the monks looked down upon me again, thinking about it, I can't help but sigh.Since I met the young master, it was my luck.Master Wanwang shows his pity and rewards the villain with a bowl of rice. He will never forget his great kindness in his life! "

Mu Zongdao: "Where is the best future for you guys?"

The man said: "It's best to be a defender at the Guangdong Customs. It's just that a villain has such a blessing. It's already a grace to get a bite of food anywhere."

Mu Zong said: "That's easy."

Suixiang the monk forged a pair of paper and pen, and asked the man, "What's your surname? What's your name?"

The man replied, "The villain's name is Yu Dengfa."

With a flick of his pen, Mu Zong wrote a letter.He ordered: "Hand it over to the yamen of the infantry commander, and there will be good news."

Yu Dengfa received the letter and left happily.The commander of the infantry received the imperial edict and saw that the defender was sent by the emperor, so he dared not neglect, so he immediately gave him Jin Zhizhuang and sent him to serve in Yueguan.This is something.

At that moment, Mu Zong released the man, walked out of the temple, and walked towards Liulichang.Look at this, look at that, calligraphy and painting antiques, antiques, porcelain jade, pen, ink, paper and fan, all of them have been seen.It's very satisfying to see a kind of paper called Yubanxuan.After inquiring about the value, I bought fifty pieces, one piece of silver and two pieces of silver, totaling six liang of silver.Mu Zong took out three gold melon seeds to use, but the shopkeeper saw that it was not suitable, so he shook his head and refused.Mu Zong said: "I don't bring any money, what can I do?"

The shopkeeper said: "It doesn't matter if you don't bring it, I'll ask the assistant to go pick it up with your lord."

Mu Zong nodded, got up and left.The guy took the paper with him, followed, beat around the bush, walked for a while, and asked: "Honored guest, have you arrived yet?

Mu Zong said: "It's almost there." "

As he spoke, he had already arrived at the inner garden of the palace.Mu Zong strode straight towards the Meridian Gate and walked in.This frightened the guy until his three souls came out of his body, his six souls left his body, threw away the paper, turned around and ran away.Mu Zong clapped his hands and laughed loudly, called a small eunuch, took the paper, and came into the palace with a smile.When he arrived at Qianqing Gate, he bumped into An Dehai. An Dehai smiled and said, "Long live Lord, what jokes are there in the city? Tell the slaves to listen, and reward the slaves for a while."

Mu Zongdao: "Good slave, stop coaxing me, the Queen Mother is waiting for you, go talk."

An Dehai was very annoyed that he had no interest in begging the boss, so he had to think of a way to get revenge.

Words are long, nothing is short.Time is like an arrow, and the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.In a blink of an eye, it has already been eight years of Tongzhi, which is called idle time, and the world is in trouble, and it is very easy to live.At this time, the chaos is at the beginning of peace, and there is nothing wrong with the world.The Empress Dowager Cixi was very still, thinking about moving, because the clothes woven and presented in Suzhou and Hangzhou were not in the same size, or the color was too old, her compassion was not without depression.

Sighing to An Dehai, he said: "The country has spent a lot of money and food to feed this group of stupid slaves. They donated clothes, but none of them are suitable for use!"

An Dehai said: "Now the embroidery workers are better than those in Guangdong. The two provinces of Suzhou and Hangzhou are no more than that."

Empress Cixi was moved and said, "Guangdong embroiderers are really good. It's good to have some pieces for him to try on. It's a pity that this group of people is rough-hearted, and no one can be trusted. Who should I send?"

An Dehai said: "If you don't think I'm stupid, how about I go for a visit?"

Empress Cixi said: "You are willing to go, it is really appropriate!"

Without saying a word, the little eunuch entered the newspaper: "Long live Lord has come in!"

Seeing Mu Zong come in with a smile, he coaxed: "Coach Chen'er has succeeded in a class of small internal eunuchs, and his handling is really flexible. Is the Empress Dowager happy to see it?"

Empress Cixi said: "You've grown so big and you're still so mischievous, why didn't your master teach you? Have you been to Hongde Hall in a few days?"

Mu Zongdao: "I go to Hongde Hall every day. Master Wa lectures on "University Yanyi"; Master Li lectures on "Mao Poems"; Master Weng lectures on "Book of Rites";

Empress Cixi said: "What about "University" and "Tongjian", I think it is enough to recognize a few words and briefly understand the meaning of the text, so that the ministers and workers can read it." "

Turning back to An Dehai, he said, "Go and take care of the masters, and tell me, 'Long live Lord's homework, except for the Four Books, you just need to teach a few things in Shizong Zhu's decree every day. '" Andehai should go by himself.Cixi then said to Mu Zong: "Xiao Anzi, I sent him to Guangdong to order weaving dragon clothes. Do you think it is good?"

Mu Zong was very happy when he heard this.

After a few days, Eunuch An put on his clothes and walked out of the capital triumphantly.Full hope that the spring breeze will be safe, and the bright moon will always shine. After weaving the brocade robe, the return sail will be hanged early.Unexpectedly, people's feelings are unpredictable, and the world is rough. As soon as they arrive in Shandong, there will be monstrous waves.One day, the empress dowagers of the two palaces were sitting in court to listen to the government. The eunuch on duty presented a memorial to Ding Baozhen, the governor of Shandong Province.After busy asking Ci'an: "Is it possible to make up for this matter?"

Ci'an said afterwards: "In the ancestral system, the inner prisoner was not allowed to leave Beijing. Now let's leave it to Minister Wang for public discussion. If Minister Wang waits for nothing, I can always accommodate."

Empress Cixi had no choice but to hand over the original folded hair.For a while, Prince Gong and Prince Chun repeated their performances one after another, saying that the ancestral system, the eunuch who went out of the capital privately, would die without pardon.

It is advisable to arrest and arrest Ding Baozhen closely, and if he is caught, he will be executed on the spot.Empress Cixi said: "An's trip is really under my order. I want to ask for a special order, how about it?"

The king of Chunjun said: "Since the ancestral system has a clear text, An has no physiology. To pardon An is to despise the ancestors and become a law, and the slaves dare not accept the order."

Prince Gong said: "There is An, that is, there is no ancestral system. Comparing An and the ancestral system, which is as heavy and which is as light, the Empress Dowager is wise, don't you know?"

Ci'an said afterwards: "That's nothing to do with swallows, or in the end, for a eunuch, even the ancestral system is ignored."

According to the order of the military plane, the decree was drafted: An Dehai corrected the decree to go out of the capital.

Ding Baozhen was closely arrested and arrested, and the Fa-rectification was carried out immediately.This is it.

The lightning was too fast to cover her ears, and the resourceful and eloquent Empress Cixi had no other choice but to go back to the palace and weep in secret.

It turned out that Ding Baozhen went to the capital to meet with His Majesty last year, and Mu Zong made a small visit, secretly accusing An Dehai of various crimes of bewitching Shengci, and he was very depressed.Baozhen was greatly moved, filled with loyalty and indignation for a moment, and generously took responsibility for himself, willing to use up foolish loyalty and get rid of traitors.Mu Zongxi said: "Qing is really a hero of the country, the ancestor of heaven and earth, and you must have made this move early."

Ding Baozhen returned to his original position in Dongfu, thinking about it, but he had no good plan, and he felt very sad.One day, when he interviewed his subordinates and asked about recent events, he learned that eunuch an was ordered to go out of the capital and arrive in the country for the next time. He was harassing abnormally in Zhili.Baozhen's heart was pounding, and he secretly said: "God-sent opportunity, once in a thousand years, I can't miss it again."

Mi Zha along the Bianzhou County: "Eunuch An arrives, report to me immediately, if you violate the law, you will not be loaned."

After Mi Zha left, within three days, Wen County of Dezhou arrived and reported that Eunuch An had arrived and ordered the local government to confess.When Baozhen got the report, he immediately sent a seal to ask for arrest and rectification.On the one hand, he ordered Cheng Shengwu of Dongchang Mansion to pursue Andehai.Cheng Shengwu didn't dare to be negligent, he put on his hat and put on the screen, and led a group of people to chase Lige horses in the scorching sun for three days. start.When Baozhen heard about it, he sighed, "Cheng Shou stood up to Confucianism, he almost defeated me!"

Wang Zheng, the commander-in-chief of the mobilization, chased after him on his old horse, and said: "In any case, eunuch an must be captured and saved. Whether it is a disaster or a blessing, I will bear it myself."

When Wang Zongbing heard this, he immediately became ambitious and murderous, and led the troops in his headquarters, as if he was rushing to the future.

Traveling day and night, marching on foot and horses, rushed to Tai'an.Seeing a group of people and horses in clusters of flowers walking like heavenly horses, they immediately sent troops to visit with flying horses.Instantly report back, the front is indeed eunuch an.Commander Wang issued an order to the general, and the three armies, big and small, rushed to catch up. All the soldiers shouted together, and the lightning and the thunder, the wind and the rain were violent, and they had already arrived in an instant.Wang Zongbing ordered the encirclement.This order doesn't matter, turn left and right, encircle both sides, trapped Eunuch An in the core, surrounded like an iron barrel.Eunuch An asked why, and Wang Zongbing said: "I am here to arrest you according to the Ministry of Law, and come with me if you are interested!"

The generals and school under his command continued to drink, thousands of people unanimously, and all the people shouted, just like a mountain shaking like a mountain, and a river overturning the sea.This wave of prestige scared An Dehai off his horse, who expected An Dehai to be okay, and sneered: "What are you doing so viciously! Don't say you are an unknown person, Ding Baozhen is here, and I don't care about it! We I am following the order of the Empress Dowager, asking you whether you want to die or live? I am in the capital, who is in my eyes? The current emperor, in front of my father, does not dare to be arrogant! Ding Baozhen, this boy, what a future! !"

As he spoke, he waved the eagle feather fan with a very relaxed attitude.All the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and said: "Chicken meets stone, there is always nothing cheap, so why don't we look at each other!"

Wang Zongbing said: "We came here according to the order, and there will be someone who will take it for us. You should act boldly!"

Everyone still dare not make a move.Wang Zongbing said angrily: "The state has state laws, and the army has military orders. Anyone who violates the arrest, I will punish him!"

Sui Drink: "Take this dry man down!"

At this moment, Zongbing Wang's eyebrows were murderous and his eyes were fierce, and everyone was awe-inspiring.He had no choice but to take the courage to drag An Dehai off the horse, and arrest him together with the others, and escort them to the province together with the horse's luggage.

An Dehai spoke boldly along the way, claiming: "This time, I'll do my best to make you domineering, and once the Queen Mother's order comes, I promise to see everyone die!"

After hearing this, everyone felt a little nervous.

An Dehai didn't understand that everyone in Taiyuan city already knew about it, and everyone knew about it. The two priests wrote about this matter, and they were remonstrated by the upper court one after another. Opinion, it is better to be cautious.Ding Baozhen smiled and did not answer.Two days later, the arresting officer sent Wang Zongbing's manuscript, and Ding Baozhen passed it out to Yu, and sat in the lobby to examine it.The lobby of the Fubuyuan is not very crowded at the time of inspection. The , saber team, and steel fork team are neat and orderly, densely packed, lined up like wild goose wings.It is the all-powerful situation that changes, and the ghosts and gods are shocked.At present, Ding Baozhen was promoted to sit in the lobby, and Wang Zongbing typed his greetings, returning to the original story of the Ming Dynasty.Baozhen ordered: "Take An Dehai!"

Bring it for a while.Baozhen asked, "Are you An Dehai?"

An Dehai said: "Ding Baozhen, what do you ask me for? I am Director An, Master An, you kid, you are not worthy to know your master. Where your master lives, there is no place for you kid to stand!"

Ding Baozhen also ignored him.Then he said: "It has been verified that you are upright, what about the middle officer?"

The Chinese military officer responded, Ding Baozhen said: "This is An Dehai's body, I'll leave it to you to take it under strict supervision, if there is an accident, the department will only ask you!
The Chinese military officer said repeatedly: "Yes, yes." "

, An Dehai scolded people there, and the Chinese military officer said: "Master An, stop scolding, and stay in the small yamen for a few days before talking about it."

Grab it, and it goes like the wind.Ding Baozhen mentioned his servants and questioned them one by one. A total of more than 20 people were counted, and they were handed over to the first county for temporary suspension.Wang Zongbing replied: "How will Eunuch An's luggage be distributed? Please show me, Commander-in-Chief."

Ding Baozhen said, "What are they?"

Wang Zongbing replied: "There are more than 30 good horses, and there are a few horses among them. They can travel six hundred miles a day."

Baozhen heard this, and said to the left and right: "There are so many good horses!"

Wang Zongbing added: "One thousand and one hundred and fifty taels of gold, seventeen ingots, five sparrow egg beads, one pearl snuff bottle, one emerald chaozhu, one bixia chaozhu, dozens of bixia rhinoceros, the heaviest There are up to seven taels, and the rest of the treasures are countless."

Baozhen passed on the order: "The horses are kept in the stables temporarily, and the gold, silver and jewelry are temporarily stored in the warehouse."

Civil and military officials in Taiyuan, seeing Baozhen acting bravely and resolutely, were worried for him.But Baozhen talked and laughed freely, as if there was no such thing.In the morning of the next day, the envoy arrived, and it was as expected. From then on, after hearing that the powerful Director An was bound to the execution ground, with the sound of the trumpet, the important event of life was completed.

When the replay arrived in Beijing, Mu Zong was very happy.In the dry and honest officials, they sang loudly and couldn't help singing opera.After a while, it was passed to the little eunuch Qi, and the board was boarded, and the coach handed it over.The art of whipping, the younger the younger and the more agile the body, the more refined it is. Those who are proficient in this way can spin like the wind, making a sound, and can swing dozens of degrees in one breath.During the study time, it was very hard, and the child was told to face on the bench, and the coaches rubbed his belly with his hands, and he had to turn around like a ring to be considered qualified.Mu Zong practiced sex, and he was extremely strict, and the stupid little eunuchs were forced to death by him, and it was not known how many times.When the young eunuchs heard the coach's intercourse, they were all scared out of their bodies and out of their bodies, and there was no way to dodge them, so they had to respond bravely.

Thanks to Mu Zong's joy, the emperor's kindness is vast, and the emperor's virtue is vast, even the stupid ones invited his special relatives, but they were not executed.Mu Zong is so happy, his biological mother, Empress Cixi, is silent in the deep palace, and the night is long, so there is love, who can send it away?Fortunately, my nature has always been open-minded. Although this matter was accidental, it is a done deal, and it is too late to recover. The situation has changed, and it will gradually get better.

Recently, all the affairs of the middle school are in order, and the Huizi in Shaanxi and Gansu have rebelled against impermanence.Since Zuo Zongtang entered Ganzhou, he has made great progress and the weather is very good.The people of Tianjin beat and killed the French consul and burned the French church.In such a catastrophe like the collapse of the sky, Li Hongzhang had a three-inch tongue, and only a few words, so that the fog of the legal person disappeared, and he retreated.

Mu Zong was already 16 years old at this time. He was handsome and handsome, with a heroic spirit, and his internal and external ministers were so talented that they all celebrated with their foreheads.The empress dowagers of the two palaces proposed marriage for him.As soon as the news came out, all the rich families with girls signed up for naturalization one after another, waiting for their choice.The empress dowagers of the two palaces carefully selected and read, and in less than half a month, they all had someone in their hearts.

The Eastern Empress Dowager chose the girl who was the number one scholar Chongqi, and the Western Empress Dowager chose the girl who was Dutong Fengxiu.Fengnv is only fourteen years old, and Chongnv is nineteen years old, and they are at loggerheads.So the two empress dowagers sent their confidantes to the women's house to see each other. This is still following the old system of the Ming Dynasty.The Eastern Empress sent Er Gege, the daughter of Prince Li, who went there for a long time before returning to the palace to play back: "I have a long and slightly round face, pure white and flawless; plump cheeks, shaped like a full moon; Emei and phoenix eyes. Long Zhun's mane; big ears and drooping shoulders, as white as face; wide and round forehead, which can be seen as a guide; chest is flat and round, shoulders are round; front back is slightly thick, waist is slender, double strands are like lotus root, and double falls are like snow : The texture is greasy and clean, and the fat ridge fits well; no hemorrhoids, no ulcers, no scars, black moles, sparrows, mouth, nose, armpit, and feet. .”

The Eastern Empress Dowager said happily: "Is it really good?"

Ergege said: "The servants led her to the secret room according to the usual practice, and forced her to take a bath, and looked at her body one by one, as small as a toe, and as small as a hair, I dare not be careless and let her go easily."

The Empress Dowager East said, "Where's the voice?"

Ergege said: "The voice is clear and clear, I really can't describe her."

The Empress Dowager Dong said: "I know that you are careful and capable of doing things, which is really good.

The eunuch entered the newspaper: "The Empress Dowager Cixi of the West Palace is here." "

Empress Ci'an hurriedly got up to greet her, but Empress Cixi had already entered, and said with a smile: "Fengxiu's girl, I've already met her, and here's the list, please have a look at the Empress Dowager."

When the Empress Ci'an came to see her, it was just a cliché for a beautiful face with a moony face and a willow waist and almond face.Ci'an said afterwards: "The empress rules the six palaces, and the mother honors the world. According to my opinion, the older one is better."

Empress Cixi said: "Although Feng Nu is young, she is very wise and graceful."

Ci'an said afterwards: "Since that's the case, let's make her a noble concubine!"

Empress Cixi said: "The imperial concubine is only as good as the queen, so there is nothing wrong with it, but I don't know what the emperor thinks?"

Ci'an said afterwards: "It is said that the emperor will come in and let him decide for himself."

Empress Cixi thought to herself: "The emperor was born to me, so forgive me for always having the same aspirations as me.

At that time, Mu Zong entered and met the two empress dowagers. Empress Ci'an gave him the photo of Chong and Feng, two daughters and two papers, and said, "these two lists, one empress and one concubine, which one is worthy to be the empress?" ? "

Mu Zong said with a smile: "Why ask, the 19-year-old is always qualified!"

Ci'an then asked Cixi with a smile, "He said the same thing, how about it?"

Empress Cixi said: "That must be the blessing of the Chong daughter!"

So it was decided to make Chongqi girl the queen.A decree of kindness was issued to enshrine Chongqi as the first-class Cheng'en Gong, and set a date, and ordered the university scholar Rui Chang and Li Hongzao, the Minister of Rites, to serve as envoys. They used Cambodian silk geese and four horses to reach Cheng'en Gong's place for Emperor Nace.After Nacai, immediately ask for the name, Naji, Nazheng, and date.

When it came to the auspicious time of the wedding, the imperial court sent two members of Manchu and Han university scholars and two ministers to welcome the queen to Cheng'en Gongdi.That day, the queen was wearing a great dress, with a yellow satin cape on her head and a yellow satin robe embroidered with red peonies and golden phoenixes. Besides the robe, there was another shawl, which was made of rubies, and it shone brightly. People are dazzled.There is a golden phoenix on the top, and emerald beads on the left and right sides. They are full of rare treasures, rare treasures, brilliant embroidery and dazzling emerald beads.Supported by a maidservant, he paid his respects at the ancestral temple of Arut's family.After leaving the temple, Cheng Engong took his daughter to Deng Yu, called the police, and the maids, internal supervisors, guards, deacons and other teams lined up, calmly, quietly, and walked slowly.

The moment has come, the phoenix chariot enters the gate of the palace, and arrives at Danchi to surrender.At this time, the emperor Linxuan, accompanied by hundreds of officials, princes and uncles, six ministers and nine ministers, civil and military officials, and generals from the Manchu and Han Dynasties, no one came, and no one did not come.The maid helped the queen to go up to the hall and stood facing the north. The Minister of Rites held a golden book in his hand and read aloud. The queen knelt down and listened.The queen prostrated herself on the ground, and there was no sound for a long time. The palace family listened to the teachings, but the queen had no choice but to say: "My concubine Arut, I would like to congratulate the emperor for long live! Long live! Long live!"

The quiet rhyme is like the breeze vibrating the flute, and the crispness is like the first twitter of a delicate eagle. All the people in the court are moved.The empress rises and retreats, the scholar of the Wenhua Palace holds the Queen's treasure, the scholar of the Wuying Palace holds the seal and ribbon, and the inner supervisor of the Kunning Palace kneels to receive the seal and ribbon, and passes it on to the palace family members.The family members take the queen.The queen knelt down and said, "Thank you, my concubine." After that, the emperor withdrew from the court and the queen ascended the throne.When all the officials saw the queen, they all took their places to salute, and after finishing their song, they withdrew from the court.

The empress rode on the soft car, and twelve court ladies carried six pairs of red gauze palace lanterns to lead the way. Four eunuchs lifted the soft car, walked slowly and quickly, and carried it to the middle palace.The golden pepper powder of the new theory on the four walls, sandwiched with sandalwood musk deer, is so fragrant that people's heads are dizzy from the fragrance.The furnishings in the palace are dazzling and glamorous, making people dizzy even more.The curtain is made of bright pearls, almost made of sapphire, agarwood is the bed, inlaid with coral, red silk is the curtain, and emeralds are decorated. Light, and so on, countless.The queen went down to the court, guided by the family members, and waited inside.Already, there were four palace servants of the third grade and above, standing aside, guarding the golden platform crimson wax dragon and phoenix flower candles.These four candle guards were all chosen out of hundreds of thousands of people, and each of them was a married couple with eyebrows at the same level and children and grandchildren around their knees, very auspicious and very auspicious.Suddenly a eunuch rushed in and said, "Long Live Lord is here!"

Along with twelve eunuchs, six pairs of red gauze lanterns, a young emperor is brought in.Wearing a red-tasseled satin hat, crowned with a ruby ​​crown, no beam on the top, no feathers on the back of the hat, wearing a four-fronted dragon robe with a gold inlaid jade belt, a blue satin coat, and powder-soled satin boots, he is majestic and magnificent. Rejuvenation, the end is the contemporary saint, the Lord of Peace!Immediately, the drums and music blared in the sky, the sheng and flute played repeatedly, and the emperor and empress performed the congregation ceremony.The queen was taught by the family members of the palace, before the emperor, and said: "My concubine wishes His Majesty the emperor long live!"

Mu Zong was so happy that he personally drank the gold bottle and gave it to the queen.Embarrassed, the queen reluctantly took a bottle.The cheeks are slightly blush, like the morning glow reflecting the snow, or like a crabapple after the rain.

Indescribably charming.The more Mu Zong looked at it, the more he loved it, and the more he loved it, the more he looked at it, and he couldn't help but forget it with joy.

If you want to know what is going on, listen to the next breakdown.
