Emperor Qianlong: the beginning of his glory

Chapter 49 Xianruoguan Tang'er complains to the uncle of the Qing Palace about the government (1)
As soon as Qianlong came out of the palace, he saw the old eunuch Wei Ruo coming up.This is a familiar old formula.Qianlong nodded slightly and followed Wei Ruo out of the Palace of Compassion.Gao Wuyong continued outside the Chuihua Gate, and went straight into the Xianruo Pavilion diagonally opposite the Cining Gate.This place is specially used for the residence of the Empress Dowager's natal relatives to visit relatives from afar. It is also a palace, but the regulations are much smaller. There is also a small garden called the Garden of Compassion to the south.Ever since he got married with Tang'er, Qianlong ordered someone to redecorate the house and replaced it with a confidant eunuch to guard it, so he was very careful.When Qianlong entered the Xianruo Pavilion, he asked, "Where is the person?"

"Return to the master." A Sula eunuch bowed beside him and said, "Uncle and grandma are offering incense at the Guanyin Pavilion in the south."

Qianlong nodded slightly and walked lightly to the Guanyin Pavilion in the middle of the Cining Garden.Under the clear moonlight, I saw Tang'er standing gracefully, clasped his hands together, and murmured prayers.When Qianlong stopped to listen, he said, "The concubine is guilty, and only the concubine is guilty. I hope my relatives are at peace, and those far away are at peace, and the emperor's grace is full of spring breeze."Qianlong laughed and said, "How can this kind of thing be 'spring breeze'?"

"Nanwu Great Mercy and Great Compassion Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva!" Tang'er had already sensed that Qianlong was coming, and after praying, she knelt down in front of the Jade Avalokitesvara statue and kowtowed three times.Standing up, he squatted down to Qianlong again, and then said angrily: "He is doing serious business, and the emperor has no time for joking!" Qianlong smiled, didn't say anything, stepped forward and took Tang'er's hands in his own Warm, crossed and rolled up, pacing in the garden under the moonlight.

At this time, the moonlight is like silver, covering the small garden like a veil.Although it is mid-winter season, the garden is red, thin and green, and the clumps of dark green and low cypress walls seem to be surrounded by purple mist. The leaves of holly and boxwood are shining with silver light, and the withered and yellow regular grass is connected with the "ten thousand" shaped path. , The foot is soft and comfortable.The two cuddled silently and paced slowly, looking at the bright moon.Tang'er lowered her head and sighed, and finally said:

"emperor."

"Well."

"Women suffer."

"Your life is not bitter, because of me."

"I really don't know what will happen in the future, if Fu Heng knows—"

"So what if he knows? Without my will, he can't come back."

"..."

Tang'er gently broke away from Qianlong's hand, turned her face away and wiped her tears, but did not speak.Qianlong slowly turned her shoulders, looked at her and said: "Looking at a beauty under the moon is really fascinating!" Tang'er said: "Although I am beautiful, I am immoral and immoral. If one daughter loves two husbands, I am not a good person. "Qianlong kissed her forehead lightly, held her in his arms, and said: "I love you, you can't resist the decree! If a hero has no career and shoulders, why should he be loved by beauties? I don't win by the emperor. In your heart, although I can't marry you clearly, I can take care of you with affection and sincerity. Don't worry, no one can hurt you." Tang'er stared blankly at Qianlong's handsome face, plunged into Qianlong's arms, and sobbed : "Your Majesty... I already have..."

"What?" Qianlong raised her face in surprise, and asked hastily: "You have such a good letter from me, why didn't you tell me earlier, I'm so happy! When did you get it? Was it male or ——" Before he finished asking, he laughed, "It must be a man, you look like a man!" He grabbed Tang'er and walked quickly into the east room of Xianruo Pavilion, and when he entered the door, he hugged Tang with both hands Er, laid flat on the bed, rubbed her cold hands, reached out to stroke her soft belly, and asked, "When did you have it? When did you know?" Tang'er felt that Qianlong's hand was sliding down again, gently Gently pushing the back of Qianlong's hand away, he said coquettishly, "Not old enough! - I haven't been here for two months, I just want to eat something sour, isn't there?"

Qianlong listened to her coquettish words like a warbler, drunk with her love, he had already collapsed, turned over and pressed her tightly, and imprinted countless kisses on her face, cheeks, eyebrows and eyes.Tang'er was suffocated by his rubbing, and she said pantingly: "Be careful of the dragon species in your belly, and the emperor also has to be careful of your bones..." Qianlong panted and said, "Before giving birth to a son, this is the last time. Don't worry, ask them to deliver medicine to you tomorrow..."

"Tell him to come back quickly."

As soon as the matter was over, Tang'er tied her waist and adjusted her temples, and said, "If it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it!" Qianlong wiped the sweat from his brow and said with a smile, "Is it up to you to say that? I will give him the order tomorrow morning. Now I think about what to call the child. If it’s a girl, I’ll call it Tingting, and when I grow up, I’ll be as graceful and graceful as her mother. If it’s a boy, I’ll call it Fu—no, Fukang’an—you blessed, He's healthy and safe, how do you think?" Tang'er covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "It's because of you...that's up to me? He has to come up with the name."

The chiming bell next door rustled, and Qianlong didn't know what time it was, so he laughed and said, "My name is given by me! Well, you can go there first and still eat wine, and go back after playing around. I'm going to the military plane too, a moment later Go back again." After Tang'er left, Qianlong regained his composure and went to the military plane. Seeing that Neqin was on duty, he smiled and said, "The wine is heavy, and I escaped from the table. Make me a cup of strong tea." Come!"

Neqin never thought that Qianlong would come suddenly at this time, so he saluted in a hurry, made a cup of Longjing tea that he brought, held it with both hands, and said with a smile: "The master is running away from the banquet. The servant thought there was an important order Woolen cloth!"

"Naturally, I have something to explain." Qianlong had an idea, and instead of asking Zhang Tingyu to handle it solemnly tomorrow, it would be better to make arrangements for this meeting, so he said with a smile: "I will issue a decree in the morning to call Fu Heng back to Beijing."

Neqin looked at Qianlong with wide eyes, what's wrong with this master?Heitian came running in the dark, wanting to call Fu Heng back?He hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Fu Heng is in Nanjing. The prelude said that more than 100 Nanjing religious bandits slipped through the net more than ten days ago, and they seemed to be fleeing to Luoxiao Mountain. According to Ting Ji, since he is going to be transferred back to Beijing, he should explain the reason."

"Is that so?" Qianlong paused for a moment. Naturally, the "reason" cannot be said, but the reason must be clarified. After thinking about it, he said: "I originally planned to send Liu Tongxun to Shanxi, but now Beijing has a big case to deal with. I plan to Let Fu Heng go back to Beijing to report on his work, and then go to Shanxi to do business. The cult in Shanxi is also raising flags and setting off firecrackers in Heicha Mountain, and the officials should also check and check." After thinking about it, although I feel reluctant, it makes sense , Just laugh it off.Although Neqin didn't understand why Qianlong didn't let Fu Heng suppress "Yizhihua" nearby, but asked him to travel thousands of miles to suppress the "Piaogao" bandits, but since the holy will required him to report on his duties, the emperor must have his own plans, and he was busy. He bowed and said, "The Holy Will is clear. The servant will draft the text, and it will be sent to Nanjing in six hundred miles tomorrow. There is still one thing to play. Just now, the commander of the infantry handed in the report, saying that Liu Kang had sent it to the yamen. The beekeeping lanes are under strict supervision. Liu Kang is the chief envoy of Shanxi, and the slaves don't know what happened to him. I don't know how to reply. Please ask the emperor to order, do you want to inform the two military ministers Zhang Tingyu and Ertai? Liu Who will make up for the lack of Kang?" Qianlong was about to get up and rush back to the Palace of Compassion, but when he heard that he had Liu Kang, he stopped and said with a smile, "This is the 'big case' I mentioned just now. Liu Tongxun was born as an official. Experienced, this case has been handed over to him. This is a criminal case, and the Military Aircraft Department does not want to file it. Report to Prince Zhuang to take care of it, and just let Zhang Tingyu and the others know. The Shanxi feudal chief should be full of people." Then he said Leaving the military aircraft office, he hurried to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to take care of his mother as a filial piety.

Fu Heng was a little surprised when he received the decree from the Military Aircraft Department to speed up the imperial court. He was doing business outside, and Jiangxi and Fujian provinces hadn't patrolled yet, so he was called back to report on his work for no reason?Besides, both Jiangxi and Shanxi are thieves, how is it different to suppress them?Transferred from Nanjing to Shanxi?He lived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for half a year. Today he inspects the relief, tomorrow he patrols the river, inspects the arsenal, and prepares to send troops to attack Luoxiao Mountain. From the governor general to the yamen, he is busy serving this uncle every day. Having to go around and hear this will, everyone is really relieved, wishing that he would set off.Governor Yin Jishan had already invited General Yaha to come to the imperial envoy Xingyuan to worship together. Yin Jishan was from a famous family, he wrote good articles, and his tongue was clever.Fu Heng just laughed when he heard this, and said, "Jishan, don't play tricks with me. I don't know you yet? As far as our personal relationship is concerned, I believe what you say. If you want to talk about being a provincial official, I'm afraid I can't wait to be a Mr. Hei killed Uncle Fu Guo! I will leave tonight, and the guest will go away, master. If you say you have any letter to bring to Mr. Yin Tai, I am afraid that I will be more useful." In one sentence, both Yin Jishan and Yaha Laughed.Yaha smiled and said: "We were on the road just now, we have discussed it. My mother and the 100th Princess Shuo had their [-]th birthday, and the little queen aunts must all go to pay their respects. I used [-] taels of gold to make seventy gold hairpins, Please take the sixth master back; Yin Zhongcheng has twelve baskets of lucky oranges, all of which are carried by mules. You take the dry road, and we will send you across the river. There will be water and wine on the bank of the river. Is this done?"

"I have one more thing," Yin Jishan said, "if Lao Ya hadn't mentioned 'Golden Hairpin', he would have almost forgotten. Master Fu said every day how wonderful Cao Xueqin, Le Min, and He Zhi are. I have been envious for a long time. Please send a message from the sixth master, and invite everyone to come and meet him. I will try it next year, and I will still send it to Beijing as a gift. Uh——Please pay the expenses when you come to my old lady—”Fu Heng He interrupted Yin Jishan and said, "Don't use this old woman's tongue. If old Prime Minister Yin is not in Beijing, I won't send them here?" The three of them broke up with a smile, and Fu Heng left Nanjing that night.

It was early February when Fu Heng and his party returned to Beijing.At this time, Fu Heng felt an unusually heavy and excited mood.When crossing the Yellow River, he once asked Mr. Shao if he knew there were rebels gathering in the mountains. Mr. Shao said he did not know, but he only heard that there was a fairy named Piao Gao in Luliang Mountain who could scatter beans into soldiers, pull flags and set off cannons to fight against the officials. .All of a sudden, Fu Heng thought of meeting Piao Gao in Shijiazhuang, Juanjuan's shadow dancing posture can't be wiped off, and can't be rubbed off.Although there was no verbal acquaintance, the tenderness revealed between Gu Pan at the moment of gifting the poem made this young man ecstasy.If it was really them, what would it be like to lead troops to fight and meet each other in battle!But Blind Wu was elated when he heard this, and said several times: "This time, when I go to use soldiers in Shanxi, I must bring my slaves with me. The slaves have no field combat skills, so they will not succeed in the end. If it is really Piao Gao, we must treat him well this time." Make a deal!" Fu Heng could only agree with a wry smile.

Arriving at Luheyi, it was the last stop. According to the rules, the imperial envoys returned to Beijing, and they could not go home without seeing the emperor.But the family members did not know where to find out that he was coming back today.Tang'er led dozens of prominent male and female servants in the mansion, who had already been waiting beside the stone lions outside the post.As soon as Fu Heng's big sedan chair got off, he bent down and came out, a group of people knelt down blackly, saying hello in unison, and Tang'er squatted down for a blessing.
