Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Fu Heng asked in surprise: Why?Yingluo said: I don't know either, I just don't think Shen Bi will come here to tell me about an irrelevant nobleman, and she doesn't know that this nobleman is related to me...and this nobleman is also pregnant with a royal heir now.Young master, you can see her, or you can see her first.Fu Hengdao: I see what she does, and if I want to see her, I will be with you.Yingluo knew that he was not happy that nobleman Wei entered the palace because of her, so she hugged him and said, "Don't lose your temper, let's be serious, you can find a reason to let Yilu arrange for you to meet her, and then I will be in secret." look around.Fu Heng gently pushed her away from him, but she still hugged her, and said: No matter what, this month will have to pass, don't even think about it.

Yingluo smiled and said: Well, fortunately, the weather is cooler, otherwise the two of us would die of heat in this room.Because the confinement can't be exposed to the wind, and the confinement mother-in-law is very strict, the doors and windows of this confinement room are tightly closed, and the Spring Palace, like the Old Summer Palace, has been replaced with glass windows, which is really airtight.Although the use of glass windows in the Chunhe Garden was suspected of being overstepped after being awarded by Fu Heng, no one dared to comment on the emperor's intentions.Fu Hengdao: That's good, just the two of us.Yingluo scratched his nose and said with a smile: Fortunately, the young master is with me, otherwise I would not be able to read books, do needlework, or do anything.Fu Hengdao: Renren will pass, soon.

Yingluo asked again: Are you really not going to Rehe?Fu Heng said: No.Yingluo said again: Aren't you bored at home?Fu Heng said: Don't bother.Seeing that his answers were very short, Yingluo knew that he was reluctant to part with herself and her son, and was still angry with the emperor, so she felt sweet and funny.Fu Heng said again: I must stay at home, otherwise the emperor will not leave at ease.Yingluo was a little surprised, and suddenly realized that he was talking about Hong Zhou. He and the emperor were always worried that Hong Zhou's people would secretly harm him, even though Hong Zhou himself wanted to go to Rehe Qiuwei with the emperor, so he nodded.The two talked for a while, before Yingluo got sleepy and fell asleep.Fu Heng didn't get up until she fell asleep, and went outside to greet the female relatives of the Fucha Mansion.

Out of the room, Pearl said that Hai Shi took the old lady to visit the garden. The people in Fucha Mansion didn't know Hai Shi and who she was. Yingluo asked her to take care of her sister-in-law who practiced cultivation.So he sat at the table and looked at the detailed accounts of the garden.Because Guangcheng is a second-rank official in the vice capital, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are both married women of second rank or above, but when they went to the palace ceremony before, there were a large number of people, and Haishi did not meet directly.After Fu Qing passed away, the second sister-in-law no longer entered the palace to participate in the ceremony.Yingluo's real origin and real name are only known by the old lady Guangcheng and his wife.

Wei Yingluo gave birth to a son, the palace naturally knew all about it, although they didn't say it explicitly, but because Fu Heng was married in the first month, so people outside looked at it as a premature birth.Concubine Shu was overjoyed, and said to Chunmei: Let me tell you, it's my son!This Minghui is really fighting for our Nalan family's face!Look at the name bestowed by the emperor, how grand and nice it sounds!Better than Fukang'an!Chunmei said: "It doesn't matter if you are born prematurely, right?"Concubine Shu said: As long as the mother and child are safe and raised in such a wealthy way, they are not afraid.Then he said melancholy: It's a pity that I don't have the emperor's child.Chunmei said: Anyway, you have elder brother eleven.Concubine Shu said angrily again: "This palace was killed by the empress, so Qiuwei can't go there either!"Think of the queen mother and the others, how carefree and happy they are!

Chengqian Palace knows the details best and is also discussing this matter.Nala said: In order to win over the Fucha family, the emperor actually gave this name.Yuan Chunwang sneered and said: Your Majesty, why don't you tell the emperor about Fu Kang'an?Nala said in surprise: You are confused. If you say so, the emperor will feel even more guilty towards Fucha Rongyin and Fu Heng, which will not do us any good.He is now the emperor's bargaining chip to check and balance the Fucha family. If the emperor knows the truth, he will feel that he owes this child.And if the emperor knows that this palace knows this big secret, there will be thorns in his heart, and he can't say it.Zhen'er said: I heard that Concubine Rong likes him more now, empress, she has another emperor's son.

Nala said: "Concubine Rong likes him, so I can't say it. He was born by Er Qing. Er Qing forced Fucha Rongyin to death. The emperor originally had a heart for him, but if he knew that he was his son, Concubine Rong It's completely different if the adoptive mother likes him again.Concubine Rong didn't know anything, but the fifth elder brother got married and was about to leave the palace. Of course she wanted her baby Fu Kang'an, and having Fu Heng's son was enough for her.

Zhen'er said: Madam, I really can't see that Concubine Rong is so thoughtful, she is not with the emperor every day, what does she want Master Fu Heng's son to do.Yuan Chunwang sneered and said: Those who enter the palace, if they are not serious, they are waiting for death.Nala only smiled and said: "These are nothing to worry about, you two don't think so much."Yuan Chunwang hurriedly said: Yes, the servant and Zhen'er are now concentrating on waiting for the fourteenth elder brother!

Yuan Chunwang and Zhen'er returned to their room, and Zhen'er complained to him: Why did you mention Fukang'an?You know that you can't talk about it, but if you want to kill the empress, I really don't understand you.Yuan Chunwang felt pain in his heart, and reluctantly said: I am just angry that the emperor treats the Fucha family so well, this is a run on the empress.Zhen'er said: "The name is just a lottery, how can you surpass the brothers in the palace, you are usually so smart, why are you confused!"Besides, why did the emperor want to run on the empress?

Yuan Chunwang hurriedly said: You are right, and the Empress is also right. This is just the emperor's win over. It's hard to say what our emperor is really thinking.Zhen'er said happily: "Go to Qiuwei with the prince and the emperor, and you will definitely be able to make meritorious service in front of the emperor and please the emperor."I heard that he brought Fujin and his new side Fujin... Yuan Chunwang didn't hear what she was saying at all, and only thought about his own thoughts.

Since the birth of his son, Fu Heng slept on the couch in the confinement room at night. The Yueyue mother-in-law thought it was against the rules at first, but this is the Fucha family. If Mr. Fu Heng and his wife want to do this, she can't say anything. Heng just asked her not to tell anyone, not even the people on Mashen Temple Street.

After the emperor left, the Daily Military Aircraft Office sent the records of the affairs that Fu Heng was managing to Chunhe Garden.Hong Zhou went to the Rehe Palace with the emperor to hunt, so now he is the agent of Hong Zhou's affairs. Nayantai has not followed the hunting for many years because of his old age. After the emperor left, all the yamen were on duty and returned to Beijing. For official business, so as not to run back and forth, important papers will be sent to him for decision, so the Military Aircraft Department will send papers in the morning and afternoon, and the desk is full every day.After he has read it, he will send the papers that need to be known or approved by the emperor to the Rehe Palace. He is still very busy, but he is more free at home. When Yingluo wakes up, he will go to accompany her, or bring his son over, and the two of them will read together. , and often went to the children's room to see his son hugging his son.

Suddenly, one month passed, and Yingluo finally gave birth to her confinement. After taking a bath with the fragrance of flowers, she felt refreshed and full of energy. When she took a picture in the mirror, her cheeks were rosy and her smile was like a flower.Early that morning, the couple and their children moved back to the Chunzeshou dormitory in the back half of the bamboo garden. Fu Heng used the outer bedroom as a study, where he read books.After Yingluo came out of the bath, she placed her hands on his shoulders and said with a smile: "Take a break and go see Long'er?"

Fu Heng put down the folder in his hand, pulled her to sit on his lap, and kissed her lips.She wrapped her arms around Fu Heng's neck, and the two kissed for a long time before Fu Heng got up, pulled her, and the two went to their son's room.It was almost the end of September, and the weather was getting cold. Fulongan was sleeping soundly in the small cradle, covered with a small quilt.The nurse was rocking the cradle gently.Seeing the two coming in, he saluted and left the room.

Fu Heng then gently rocked the cradle. The couple sat by the cradle and watched for a while. The baby twisted and was about to wake up, so Yingluo leaned over to pick him up and held him in her arms. After a while, the baby finally woke up and opened his eyes. Fu Heng said softly: Let me tell you, he still looks more like you.Yingluo looked at the child whose eyes resembled her own, and felt very proud, but regretted that he did not have Fu Heng's eyes, but the clarity in the eyes was almost exactly the same as Fu Heng's.

The baby soon burst into tears, and the nurse outside came in to nurse him.The couple walked out of the room. At this time, it was dark, and the lights in the garden were just lit, and there was a sense of autumn.Yingluo just felt warm holding Fu Heng's arm, crossed the bridge, and walked east to Zhan Shi Ying Lv.Then walk south along the waterway.

Yingluo walked and said: At that time, my sister gave birth to seventh elder brother, and you comforted me, but on the day I gave birth to Long'er, you were so scared yourself.Fu Heng smiled and said, "What's the matter, and I've been worrying about it for almost a year.Later, I couldn't sleep and read at night, but I read a lot of books.Saying that, she stopped, and brought the rose gold chain back to Yingluo.This chain was taken off by Fu Heng when Yingluo was nine months pregnant, saying that she would not feel uncomfortable, and she sweated a lot during childbirth and confinement, so she never took it back, and Fu Heng took it out again until today.

Yingluo also smiled, touched the pendant, and said with emotion: Young master, I am so happy.On the day I gave birth to Brother Seven, I felt more at ease when you came. I cried that day because I felt that you belonged to someone else, and I could no longer be with you.On the day I gave birth to Longer, knowing that you had been guarding the outside, I was very relieved and not so scared, but it turned out that you were scared.Fu Heng laughed lightly and said: I will always be yours, don't worry.With me, you never have to be afraid.It's getting cold, go back earlier, they are still waiting for us, come back during the day.So the two circled around and returned to Shengzao Tang.

Haishi had been waiting for a long time, when Zhuzhu saw the couple came back, she ordered dinner to be served, the five of them sat together to eat, the couple and Haishi sat on the kang, Zhuzhu and Xiaoquanzi set up a low table at the bottom.During the banquet, Yingluo said to Haishi and Pearl: You two had the hardest work on the day of giving birth to Longer, thank you, I respect you both!Haishi drank it with a smile, Pearl blushed, and refused to accept it, Yingluo insisted, so she drank it.Xiao Quanzi smiled at her and said: Master, are you drinking now?Not right.He said and looked at Fu Heng.

Before Fu Heng could speak, Yingluo said first, "I asked Dr. Ye yesterday, and he said it's not strong alcohol, so it's okay to drink less."Then he respected Xiao Quanzi.Xiao Quanzi gave way and finally drank.Fu Heng smiled without saying a word, and just picked up vegetables to eat by himself.Yingluo drank two cups, and suddenly her chest was full of pride. Thinking of the "Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" she had read on a daily basis, she thought: Long'er will also be a great hero in the future.

Haishi looked at her with a smile and said: Yingluo, do you still remember?When I gave birth to Yongqi, you were the one who accompanied me, and now I accompany you back, just as I should.Yingluo recalled that back then, the Empress Dowager accompanied the Empress Dowager to worship the Buddha in Changchun Garden and entrusted Haishi to herself. On that day, she had an argument with Mingyu... Unconsciously, tears welled up in her eyes, fearing that Fu Heng would see it, so she He raised his neck and took another drink.When she put the cup back on the table, Fu Heng pressed her hand and said, "I can't drink any more."

The wine had suppressed Yingluo's tears, so she nodded, and Ren Fuheng took the cup away and replaced it with Pu'er tea.The five gossiped about the emperor being in Mulan Qiuwei, Yingluo's master and servants had never been there, Haishi had been there twice, and they still remembered some grand scenes. When Fu Heng was in court, he went with the emperor every year. It's just that I was in Junggar three years ago, and Yingluo gave birth this year, so I didn't go.Everyone listened to him with gusto.

Mulan, originally in Manchu language, is "deer whistle" or "whistle deer circle" in Chinese. It was originally a tool used by the Manchus for hunting. After blowing or sucking with their mouths, after making a deer cry of "Yo Yo", it lures the stags to come. its catch.The paddock is where deer are sent out, so it is called "Mulan paddock".Because there are more varieties and numbers of deer than other animals, deer are the main hunting objects in the enclosure.The word qiuxi (xian3) comes from "Zuo Zhuan", which means hunting in autumn, which was originally a hobby of nobles in various vassal states during the Spring and Autumn Period.Manchurians and their ancestors have lived on hunting for generations, and they have a tradition of being good at riding and shooting, and hunting is a common hunting method.Therefore, Qiuwei is an annual event of the Eight Banners.

The Mulan Paddock is located three hundred miles north of the Rehe Palace, with a circumference of more than a thousand miles. The Xing'an Mountains stand in the north, where all spirits gather, and the mountains are divided into trunks.The paddock controls Mongolia in the north, arches the capital in the south, connects Shengjing in the east, and borders Chahar in the west. Fu Heng's father, Li Rongbao, once served as the general manager of Chahar, in charge of the military and political affairs of the local garrison of the Eight Banners.Since the 22nd year of Kangxi, the autumn fence has gradually become a custom. The first emperor stopped hunting for a while, and since the emperor ascended the throne, the autumn fence has been restored.Qiuwei usually sends more than [-] soldiers, divided into three squads, with [-] hunters at a time, accompanied by officials from the clan and various ministries.The princes and nobles of various Mongolian tribes were also surrounded by classes.The encirclement process is divided into four steps: cloth encirclement, observation encirclement, line encirclement, and stop encirclement.

The cloth encirclement, generally led by the prince in charge of the encirclement minister, led the encirclement of more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry, the encirclement soldiers provided by the Karaqin, Tumed and other ministries, and the Eight Banners army.After the cloth is surrounded, a tight and solid encirclement like an iron bucket is formed.

After setting up the siege, the emperor came from the camp to watch the city surrounded by ministers and guards.The emperor had to check whether the hunting formation was neat, which was equivalent to reviewing the team.Second, it depends on the number of wild animals in the enclosure. If there are too many, order the encircled soldiers to open a hole and release some wild animals to hunt later.After that, the hunting begins.When the emperor went hunting, various guards followed him. Some led dogs, some drove eagles, some delivered arrows, and some were full-time guards for the safety of the emperor.If the beasts were wounded and escaped, the emperor ordered one or two guards to hunt them down.After hunting, the emperor would also accompany the queen mother to observe the surroundings and inspect the performance of the princes, grandsons, princes, ministers and soldiers of the Eight Banners as the basis for rewards, appointments and promotions.

After the siege was over, the Mongolian princes and nobles and officials above the second rank got the wild beasts and knelt down in front of the emperor.All the shots captured by the descendants of the royal family must be recorded in the file for the emperor's reward.During the hunt, if there is an irregular formation and those who do not pursue the kill bravely, they will be severely punished.After the whole autumn is over, the emperor will host a banquet for Mongolian princes, officials and soldiers in the palace, and give food, cloth, silk, silver and so on.On behalf of the Mongolian ministries, the local alliance leader held a banquet for the emperor in the resident.

There are tens of thousands of officials and soldiers participating in the autumn festival. Princes and their families will also need a lot of daily necessities. Therefore, during the Mulan autumn festival every year, many vendors walk with the autumn festival army.Wherever the army camped, the merchants immediately set up tents and tents, opened "temporary markets" and sold various commodities.Every year, Mulan's autumn route actually becomes a grand commercial event between the Central Plains and Mongolia, which promotes the economy and people's livelihood in Mongolia.

The author has something to say:

[Eight Banners are unified] The unique feature of the Qing Dynasty is the Eight Banners system. The Eight Banners are both a military organization and an administrative organization. Like provincial capitals, states and counties, they also have to manage the people, not just a military organization. It is a very complicated system.

Eight Banners, that is, eight-color flags, each with Sangu Mountain, and commonly known as Manchu Banner, Mongolian Banner, and Hanjun Banner.These three flags (Gushan) named after nationalities are combined into one unit, that is, flags of the same color belong to the same administrative system.The unified and large-scale administrative affairs of the Eight Banners are based on the same color flag.For example, the long-standing enfeoffment and command system, the clan princes and princes each control the three kinds of Gushan under the true color and distribute them to the subordinates, and the Zuoling of the three Gushans are also allocated to the enfeoffed clan princes and lords at the same time.

Another example is the distribution of residential areas and enclosures in the capital. The three Gushans under the same color are in the same area, and the soldiers are trained in the same field; The other colored flags are sorted sequentially; the selection of officials and students and the requisition of certain official services are also based on each colored flag.

Gushan is divided into three-level organizations. We often see titles such as "dutong", "canling", and "zuoling". These three positions are the three-level organizations of Gushan.Three Gushans under the same color banner - Manchurian Banner, Mongolian Banner, and Hanjun Banner. Each Gushan has a capital (Gushan Ezhen) and a deputy capital (Meilezhangjing) with 1 people. The eight banners have a total of 2 Gushan , A total of 24 Dutong and 24 Deputy Dutong were established.At the beginning of Dutong, it was Zhengyipin, and in the middle of Qianlong period, it was changed to Congyipin.Deputy Dutong, Zheng Erpin.There is a Jiala at the foot of Gushan Mountain, which is called Canling in Chinese, and it is the third grade.Under Jia La, it is Zuo Ling, and it is Niu Lu in Manchu.The number of participating leaders and assistant leaders of each banner is different, and the number of assistant leaders often changes due to flag raising and changing flags.

Among the emperor's upper three banners, the Xianghuang Banner ranks first, and the Fucha family belongs to [Manzhou Xianghuang Banner].The concubine Ling and her family were also carried into the Yellow Banner of Manchuria in the end. This flag raising was very thorough. It was carried into the first of the three banners, the Yellow Banner, and the Manchurian Banner, because she was the emperor's wife (not a concubine~, Before she passed away, she was already an imperial concubine, the absolute lord of the six palaces).Bordered Yellow Banner, the first flag among the Shang San Banners, is named after the yellow flag bordered with red, and has the highest status.Li Rongbao's eldest son, Guangcheng, served as the deputy capital of Manchuria in Zhenghuang Banner in the 16th year of Qianlong, and as the capital of Mongolia in Zhenghuang Banner in the 27th year of Qianlong.

Among the queens of the Qing Dynasty, not many were actually born in Manchuria with the Yellow Banner.Empress Xiaoxian not only has a high status, but also comes from a famous eunuch family.The Fucha brothers and sisters were born in a gorgeous Manchurian high-ranking aristocratic family, a family of old and new aristocrats.The same as the upper three flags are Zhenghuang Qi and Zhengbai Qi.Affected by the concept of "principal and vice" in Han culture, modern people and film and television dramas often mistakenly believe that the Zhenghuang Banner is the head of the Eight Banners.In fact, the Xianghuang Banner is the head banner of the Eight Banners, and the emperor's household registration is also registered in the Xianghuang Banner, which is called "the first leader of the Xianghuang Banner, the first assistant leader, and the imperial name".

[Glass windows] Advanced Western glass manufacturing technology was introduced to China during the Kangxi period, but it was not popularized among the upper class until the Yongzheng period.The residences of concubines and princes are mostly furnished.
