Chapter 21 Luanyang Palace

Since the 25th year of Jiaqing, the emperor died in the Summer Resort Palace, and in the 30th year of Daoguang, the emperor Yuzhi had never arrived here. After the new king ascended the throne, he seemed to have forgotten that there was still a palace located not far from the capital. Until August of the second year of Xianfeng, the decree was issued: the emperor would visit the Summer Resort again in May next year. For a time, all the yamen under the Zhili General Administration quickly started moving.

The first thing is to clean the courtyard and prepare for the reception. Re-finish the ripe craft that has not been used for decades. The rooms, halls and corridors in the palace should be painted, the slabs should be painted, the slabs should be padded, and the slabs should be replaced. The roads from Jingzhong to Rehe Palace should also be laid. These must be sent by the Zhili Governor's Office to contact the Office of the Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Rites, and there is no need to provide detailed descriptions.

General Fengtian, General Gubeikou Daying, Admiral Rehe, General of the Green Camp of Kalaqin Left Banner, and the Mongolian kings who came to the Rehe Palace to pay their respects this time, and the officials appointed by the various yamen in the capital came in advance. In conjunction with the Ministry of Rites, Sun Ruizhen led the chariots to welcome the chariots. The emperor's chariots came to the city.

There are examples of this kind, and it will not be very energy-consuming to handle it. It has only been many years since I have not seen it. Many people want to take advantage of this opportunity to open their eyes. Even Sun Ruizhen and Weiren, the Minister of Rites, all had this thought. I heard people in the early years talk about the grand occasion of Emperor Qianlong and Emperor Jiaqing on a tour, but they were all stories of the previous dynasty, and no one had seen it on the spot. This time, they stood in Dehua Gate, close to the Imperial Street, and wanted to see it refreshingly.

At the second in the Chen Plate, nine sounds of cannons outside Dehua Gate were astonishing as the stones broke into the sky, and the drums and music were made immediately. Sixty-four drum music were dedicated to the Changyin Pavilion, and their melodious and sings came: "...The Qing Dynasty, the scenery was prosperous. A dragon rose and clouds came;... Thunder and life were abundant, and the wind was moving at the time, and the favor of the lotus sky was favored. Qingchen traveled, six dragons drove early, and a red cloud was worshipped. Hu Chen traveled, six teachers followed fortunate, and the singing of thousands of miles together..."

The singing of the song was clear and clear, and the heart was clear. As the joy arose, eight pairs of elephants in Dehua Gate knelt down one after another, and they saw sixty-four eunuchs led by Dong Chengxiang, holding a whisk in his hand.

The civil and military officials in the Dehua Gate and the black crowed crowd on the street immediately calmed down. Naturally, they knelt on the ground and looked at each other with a slanted eye. With the lead of the green and purple zircon, there were 54 covers, including the nine dragon crank cover, the straight handle cover, the green, red, soap, white, yellow, and five-color flower covers, which were mixed together. Then there were the seventy-two treasure fans, four pairs of longevity fans, eight pairs of double dragon fans, and there were also single dragons, peacocks and pheasants tails, and painted phoenixes and phoenixes.

The treasure fan was eight-sided turban, divided into four types: longevity, purple clouds, neon clouds, and feathers. The treasure-colored tassels and the tassels floated, making people dizzy. In a trance, a eunuch brought a letter flag and a crimson into the city gate, but he used a dragon head as a guide. Two pairs of leopard tail guns followed closely, one on one side of bright yellow cards said that the teaching of filial piety, the teaching of punishment, the teaching of worship, the praise of good deeds, the praise of martial arts, the martial arts, the writing, the words, and the goodness... Then there were flags coming, but there were six pairs, with twelve eunuchs sticking to the golden festival and the platinum.

Suddenly, people were marveling in a low voice. When Sun Ruizhen and others looked at it, it was the Eight Banners Cyclone chariot entering the city. The flagpole was as thick as a huge bowl, and the pillars stood on the Cyclone, each pushed by eight strong men. The forward's Cyclone 16 poles, followed by forty golden dragons and flags, and the flags were rushing in the whistle and west wind. Following eighty Cyclone flags, embroidered with phonic phoenixes, Xiangluans, Cranes, Peacocks, Yellow Swallows, White Pheasants, Red Cyclones, Flower Cyclones, Chinennia, Chinennia, Chinennia, Chinennia, Chinennia, Chinennia, Chinennia, Chinennia, Chinennia, Chinennia, Chinennia, Chinennia, Chinennia, Chinennia and other auspicious birds and beasts. The golden tassels were embroidered with the wind, and they were indescribable in luxury and honor.

These many tricks were just guided by the ceremonial guards. The salaries of Changyin Pavilion joined the ranks at this time. The Pailu, Guxi, chime bells, Dalu, Taicu, Staff bells, no shooting, clear and exciting, mixed with harmony, Xiao Guansheng and Huang, it was really a thunderous ears and ears and bamboos.

The people were stunned at this moment and looked at it. What other four gods, four drone, five mountain flag, five star and twenty-eight constellations flags, sweet rain, eight winds, five clouds, five dragons, golden drums, sun and moon flags were bustling by. Suddenly, the voices were sensational. When they looked up, this was the serious imperial guard. Eight door flags were in front of them, and two small gold-colored flags of Cuihua flags followed. Four people carried two police flags, followed by six people holding sticks, one hundred and twenty people holding Jinwu in their hands, led by the guard Sulun, and then another one hundred and twenty people, holding gold mills, lying melons, standing melons, red stirrups, copper horns, golden poles, gold furnaces, incense boxes, basins, saliva... The eunuchs holding the deacons all walked by happily.

Only then did they see the emperor's chariot carriage, carried by thirty-six eunuchs, and 180 guards in front and behind the chariot, all of whom were wearing fifth-rank military officers, wearing peacock feathers on their heads, tightly surrounded by golden dragon carriages, and a string of sedan chairs behind them were sealed with sedan doors and curtains on the screens. Needless to ask, it was the sedan chair of the concubines. Everyone was dazzled by this scenic spot, and looked straight at the nine dragon carriages, and saw four moon platforms with bright yellow cloud dragon tents on four dragon pillars, and four eunuchs stood at four corners to protect the bright yellow curtains. But they didn't know what the emperor looked like inside. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and saw Duanhua, the Luanyi envoy, riding a yellow horse, wearing a yellow jacket, and holding a yellow chain lock in his hand. Only then did they know that he was the head of the chariot team.

Duanhua immediately said something, and the eunuch bowed to the curtain and said something, and the two eunuchs carefully rolled up the yellow curtain. A man sat on the Sumeru pedestal with a golden dragon in the middle. His eyes were like lacquer, his face was white, he had a smile on his lips, and his head was wearing a bright yellow velvet Eastern Pearl Crown, his Nine Dragon Shawl gently folded on the golden dragon jacket, his horse's hooves were snow-white inside, and his hands were gently holding his knees and sitting with his collar. This was the Emperor Xianfeng who was hanging down on the nine layers of urging the world.

At this moment, the ministers and the people all agreed, shouting like a tsunami: "Long live Emperor Xianfeng, long live!" The fireworks and firecrackers shook the sky, the earth rats, and the second kicks burned the purple mist all over the ground, and it sounded like a pot of porridge. People in the city seemed crazy and drunk!

The imperial guards stopped until they reached Lizheng Gate. The emperor lowered the carriage and walked in. He had visited the Summer Resort in later generations, but at that time there were many tourists and they were walking in a hurry. What could he see? He deliberately slowed down and carefully looked at the unpretentious scenery of the royal garden.

It is very different from what I saw in later generations. After entering the garden, the yard was covered with dark and dark blue pine trees, towering high and thick enough to be surrounded by sunlight, covering the ground. There is a three-chamber main hall in the middle of the corridor. There is a huge black plaque of mud gold hanging on the main entrance, with four large Yan-style characters written on it: The pine wind in the thousands of valleys, which is Kangxi's imperial book. The couplets on both sides say: There are mountains and rivers that open the North Pole, and the natural scenery is as bright as West Lake. The sentences are very simple and easy to understand, and I don't know whose writing is written by it.

Just after Si, the bright sunshine casts on Qiushu Mountain Lake. It is green and bright, with a breeze blowing, the lake shakes and trees move, and it is unstable. Looking at the mountains and waters, thousands of trees are green, the red buildings are like dots, there are fields, trees, small bridges and flowing water, and ancient moss... It is so clear and fragrant, and it is so beautiful.

The emperor attached his hands behind him and sighed long: The sky light and water here should have come here immediately after ascending the throne. It was a pity that he had been wasted for three years!

It was four days later that everything was settled. Although the emperor was not in the capital, the military and national affairs must not be idle for half a day. The ministers who followed him had their own residences in the city and the court houses in the garden. Every day, they had to enter the seats as usual, and the king and ministers met.

On May 11, several people from the Military Affairs Office met at Yanbo Zhishuang Hall. After the ceremony at the East Warehouse Pavilion, the emperor picked up the memorial he had just received yesterday and handed it to the next person: "Shandong Governor Jing Lianhe's title of Fuji Society, saying that Cui Jingnan was suffering from a carbuncle in Shandong and died of suffering from a carbuncle in the inn on April 27. Do you know about this?"

"I already know when I say something to the emperor."

"Cui Jingnan hangs himself in the shop room where he lives because of a carbuncle. I always feel that there are great doubts. Cui Jingnan is the secret envoy who ordered him to investigate in Shandong whether there were any relief affairs in the two counties under Tai'an Prefecture. Before the official duties were completed, he hanged himself in the hotel? Even if he is really sick, can't he seek medical treatment in Shandong? Moreover, looking at what Jing Lian and Fuji said, Cui Jingnan died suddenly and did not even have a confession? This is really unreasonable."

Sai Shanga hurriedly met up: "The emperor and his wise man, and the servants also think that Cui Jingnan should not be so ridiculous in doing things."

Jia Zhen was one of the main examinations in the 27th year of Daoguang. He had a junior brotherhood relationship with Cui Jingnan. He was confused when he heard Sai Shang's words, and he was very despised. He took advantage of the gap between him and said, "I also think there are many problems. Cui Jingnan suffers from a back abscess, and he is unbearable whenever he attacks. I know this. But if he commits suicide just because of this reason, I really can't believe it."

"However, Fu Ji, as a provincial chief, carefully interrogated Cui Jingnan's three servants after the incident. Look, his memorial was also written very clearly. After investigation, 'The three servants who served him, lying in the adjacent guest room at night, and heard that there was no sound in the master's room. Then, the magistrate of Laiwu County and Tai'an magistrate Tian Shuyuan sent a coroner to perform the autopsy. Cui Jingnan had a hang mark under his neck, and there were no traces of fighting and entanglement everywhere in his body. The suspect of murder should be eliminated.'" He stopped reciting the contents of the memorial and looked at several people: "You guys, what's going on?"

"This..." Jia Zhen hesitated. Cui Jingnan's death was full of doubts. It was neither the time nor the cause of death. However, Jing Lian and Fuji, as the highest administrative head and judicial officer of a province, would be given a title and a discount, and they said that "there is no hidden truth in it." The mistake was that there was very certain evidence for overturning the case. In order to preserve the plan, it would be difficult for the court to send special people to visit - otherwise it would be clear that Fuji and Jing Lian were not trustworthy! In this case, it would be difficult for him to say that as a subordinate, he was a subject.

The emperor thought for a while: "I know that this Fuji, I know that he is the sponsor of Prince Ding, and is also very famous in Shandong Province. It is said that the four sides of the country are now peaceful and he has made a lot of efforts from it. Is that true?"

Jia Zhen smiled bitterly in his heart. The emperor was sometimes very experienced and sometimes very naive! He actually regarded Fuji as a good official like Yu Chenglong and Lu Longqi! He met up and agreed: "Yes. Fuji is always a capable person, and it is also very famous to capture robbers in Caozhou Prefecture, Shandong."

The emperor took the note and opened it and looked through it carefully for a while: "There are many doubts. What do you think? How should we solve it?"

"Yes, I think there are many doubts about it."

The emperor ignored Sai Shanga and looked at Jia Zhen and asked, "Jia Zhen, what should you do about this?"

"I think there are three ways. First, I will issue a clear order and send someone to conduct a serious inspection before reporting. Second, I will transport a group of people and others to the capital, and a minister will reopen the coffin for the autopsy; Third, I will transport the coffin to another place for further inspection." After the statement, he said: "All decisions are made and the sage is called upon to be called."

The emperor also had the same concerns as Jia Zhen. If the second and third methods were used to find out the truth after analyzing the analysis. If there was no hidden information in the end, Yu Fuji, Jing Lian and Zai Quan would be very unfavorable. However, if the first method was used? ... "Fuji came from the Prince Ding's Mansion, right?"

Jia Zhen didn't know why he asked again, so he hurriedly answered: "Yes, Fuji was sponsored by Prince Ding."

"Just follow the first method Jia Zhen said. Go and draw up the order."

"Zhe." Everyone retreated from the decree, and the emperor immediately passed the metaphor: "Let Sushun come in."

Soon, Sushun arrived in front of the imperial court, knelt on the ground and listened to the emperor's remarks about the process of discussing with the Military Affairs Office, and finally said: "I thought about it. Although Fuji is famous in nature, he is a censor of a province in Shandong, and the case is in the subordinates, and there is a little bit of a relationship. Therefore, I want you to go to Shandong and work with Fuji and others to handle the case together. In short, it must be said that one thing will be revealed. If Cui Jingnan's death is not injustice. If there is, it must also make the world clear for him!"

"Yes." Su Shun met upwards, and he said: "I understand. When I go to Shandong, I will work hard with Lord Fu, carefully pursue and make a equitable judgment, so as to seek the emperor's sacred thoughts that are clear and clear!"

As the two of them spoke, Sai Shanga and others entered the warmer pavilion again. Su Shun moved a little aside and let everyone kneel side by side with him: "Have the order been written? Take it to me."

After taking the draft, he wrote: "Military Minister of Military Affairs and Minister Ji Zhi, Governor of Shandong, Jinglian, and Fuji, the official: I read the memorial and I was shocked by the shock. Cui Jingnan's case has many doubts. The pain of the carbuncle on his back has long been there, but he suddenly committed suicide when the official was not finished and hanged himself that night. The matter was no longer close. At that time, the magistrate of Laiwu followed the prefect to verify that if the change of clothes and coffins were collected, the superiors sent a commission to the superiors after the declaration, or if there was another person with the same verification? He never saw the governor, the minister, the minister, the tutor, and the memorial was written. It was not important to pay attention to human life, and he followed it in a hasty way of following it!"

"Cui Jingnan was sent to investigate and investigate the relief work carefully, and did not report any disadvantages. He was silenced and suspected that it could be determined, or there were other other facts. The life and death of the staff in the case should be thoroughly investigated in order to find out the truth."

The sentence was handled by the court: "From the day when the order is reached, the Shandong Censor Fujihui and Tai'an Prefecture, the county-related persons will carefully study and inspect the remains of Cui Jingnan, and make the truth clear. If you cannot study it carefully and cause the murderer to be arrested, I will definitely not allow you to be incompetent in governors and officials, but the law enforcement and punishment will be severe, and you will never be lenient."

After reading the draft, the emperor handed it back: "Another sentence: Order Sushun, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, to go to Shandong, and work with Fuji and others to handle the case together."

"Yes." Saishana agreed, stood up with a hunched body, took the red pen, and handed it up. The emperor waved his hand, "You can write it."

The ministers could not use the imperial pen, so Sai Shanga put the pen back and gave a wink at Peng Yunzhang behind the crowd. The latter stood up and took the draft and retreated.
Chapter completed!
