Chapter 13: Xianfeng South Tour (9)

When I entered Jiangning City, I had already issued a notice along the way from the Fucheng Yamen and the Shangyuan County Yamen in the Shou County. Not only were there lights and colorful colors inside and outside, but many door couplets on red plum paper were pasted. Although they were all old-fashioned like Yao Tian Shun Ri, the paper was fresh and ink, and it seemed very energetic.

The palace is located in Zhanyuan, Dagongfang, Sanshan Street. The mansion of Xu Da, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, was the first important place in the planning of Guiliang and Chunshou and Linggui. Originally, the garden had a beautiful scenery of flowers and trees, but Guiliang still didn't think it was enough, so he ordered people to renovate it, and the silver flowers were like flowing water, and it was very popular. Compared with the Old Summer Palace in Beijing, it was not as good as the Jingnan Yuan, but it had a beautiful and lively beauty.

Emperor, this was the first time that everyone came to this fertile province in the sea. While it was still dawn, Guiliang guided him to walk around the park and return to the bedroom that originally belonged to the King of Zhongshan to rest. The queen and others went down to rest. The emperor summoned the ministers under Liangjiang with a smile: "This time, for my southern tour, the provinces in Jiangnan have been too tired?"

"Since Emperor Gao's southern tour, the people of Jiangnan have not seen the beauty for a long time. Therefore, this time, when I heard that the emperor was coming to Jiangnan, everyone ran around and told me that the emperor's arrival was a blessing for the people of Jiangnan. Among them, there were gentry and merchants under the rule of Liangjiang who donated enthusiastically, just for the emperor to smile, and it was enough to have a wish."

"That's right, but since ancient times, the emperor's tour has been a deed of hurting the people. I can't bear it." The emperor said, "Let's do this, I will stay in Jiangning for a few days. After you go down, you can get together. The province has made a list of donations. I will meet you before I leave."

Gui Liang was overjoyed and was about to meet and thank him. Yuan Jiasan, who was on duty, stopped him head-on: "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate."

"Why is it inappropriate?"

"The merchants are greedy for profit. This time, they donated enthusiastically only for profit. I am afraid that these people are thinking about taking this opportunity to look up to the heavenly face. In the future, they have the capital to show off to others. They run around the neighborhood and brag everywhere. I think they have defilements to the emperor's sage virtues."

The emperor was so unhappy! Yuan Jiasan was studying in Jiangsu. When the sixth year of Xianfeng ended, the emperor did not pay attention to the memorial he submitted. It was not because he had any disgust for him, but because he had other arrangements. The reason was a memorial made by Yuan Jiasan during his tenure. When he came to Jiangnan, he wanted to seriously discuss the things mentioned in the memorial with him. So when he saw him at the dock, the emperor ordered him to hand in the sign tomorrow. Unexpectedly, he actually said such words?

The hall was quiet, and everyone thought that Yuan Jiasan was not tactful and did not dare to scold him. After hesitating for a while, the emperor asked, "Yuan Jiasan, why do you judge a gentleman's ambition by the heart of a villain?"

"I dare not!" Yuan Jiasan immediately met and replied loudly: "The merchants are greedy for profit and forget their righteousness. Since ancient times, history has been clearly distinguished. How can such a person come to the imperial prelude to answer?"

"You are confused!" The emperor was furious, "Greed in profits is the nature of merchants. This section is a bit reasonable. But how do you know that merchants must be people who forget their righteousness? Since the fourth year of Xianfeng, the court has implemented a new business course. Merchants in the 18 provinces of the Qing Dynasty, whether they are businessmen or businessmen, can be willing to pay taxes and maintain national benefits, without any grievances and difficulties. Why do these people become people who forget their righteousness when they come to your mouth?"

"The new commercial tax law was originally made by the emperor and all the great masters in the court when they were considered by them, and they were as fine as a seedling and left and right trials. Even though the drawbacks of the tax system law in previous years were improved by many parties, it was difficult for the clerks from various provinces to gain profits, so they achieved the results of national affairs and daily performance. I think it has nothing to do with whether the merchants are willing."

The good mood the emperor maintained at the beginning of disembarking the ship disturbed Yuan Jiasan all! His face turned blue with anger, but it was difficult to find anything to refute him - in the eyes of Yuan Jiasan and others, "Shi" and "Shang" are the existence of ice and charcoal that cannot be used in the same furnace. To make him recognize the role of merchants, it is even more difficult to accept than killing him!

"It has nothing to do with the merchants? Where does your monthly salary and the food and salary required for military training in various provinces come from? Do you think it fell from the sky?" After a few breaths, the emperor asked, "Isn't it that the people farm, vendors traveling around the world, and the circulation of wealth and logistics, so that they can have the beauty of today's flowers? In the mouths of you, a scholar, it has nothing to do with the merchants?"

Yuan Jiasan wanted to say something else, but Ling Gui turned his face in front of him and gave him a wink before he could hold back his words.

He didn't say anything, but the emperor still refused to give in: "Yuan Jiasan, are you so unfaithful that I am not going to go to the south? Well? If that weren't the case, why did you deliberately say that you shouldn't summon merchants? Do you think I'm happy and intend to make things difficult for me?"

Listening to every sentence that the emperor said was heartbroken, everyone was frightened. It was the same, but he was very happy. He gave Yuan Jiasan a reply and not only dissipated, but also made Long Yan angry. Why is this?

The emperor snorted hatefully, got up and entered, leaving all the people below Guiliang on the spot.

When he entered the bedroom, the emperor was still angry and even wanted to summon the ministers to give him a banquet: "Tell them where to go. I will see no one today."

Liufu sighed secretly and went out to deliver the order without mentioning it.

The emperor's words to Yuan Jiasan made me feel depressed and I had to eat dinner so I had to wait for Concubine Jia's room. The eunuch replied that Concubine Jia and other concubines had already gone to bed early because of the fatigue of boats and carriages.

This was really not happy. The emperor had no choice but to lie down and whirl up for a while, but couldn't sleep. Liufu was serving him and interrupted at the right time, "Master, if you can't sleep, why not let the servant order people to hold the candlelight and the master take a walk in the garden?"

The emperor had nothing to do and wanted to relax. He nodded and walked in the garden by the eunuch in the palace. Unexpectedly, when he walked around the back garden in the garden, he unexpectedly heard the sound of a woman reciting scriptures!

This made the emperor feel curious, and walked along the sound, and walked through the road illuminated by the lanterns and entered the depths of flowers and trees. A beautiful thought of exploring the secluded and visiting the beauty was rare in his heart. He felt funny as he walked: Even if there was a woman there, he was afraid that his face would be full of vicissitudes and wrinkles were piled up - at this time he completely forgot that Zhanyuan was the place where the emperor stayed, so how could there be a strange woman?

When I arrived at the back of the garden, there were only flowers swaying and no one was seen. When I heard the sound, it was coming from outside the wall. The emperor was very disappointed. Needless to ask, this must be the sound of evening classes in the neighboring house temple. Oh! I was scared! But he didn't know that all the artificial things tonight were arranged intentionally!

******************************

The emperor was young and romantic, and I was sick and lustful, which was well known to all the officials in the court. The Qinhuai River is a famous beauty cave in the world. Although the times change, I want to find a master like Chen Yuanyuan, Liu Rushi, and Li Xiangjun. The beauty prostitutes who have been famous in history are no longer available, but there are many romantic methods in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not necessary to go to the Qinhuai River.

Therefore, Gui Liang arranged for a clearing guest from the Governor's Office to go to Zhejiang, walk on the Fuchun River, and go to the ancient sites of Yanziling Fishing Platform, and take the famous "Jiangshan Boat".

Since the early Ming Dynasty, this "Jiangshan Boat" has been operated by the "Jiu surname" and is called "Jiu surname fishermen". The Ming Dynasty recorded the Qing Dynasty's Hui Dian, and the heroes rose up in the late Yuan Dynasty. Ming Taizu defeated Chen Youliang at Poyang Lake. His subordinates had nine surnames who refused to surrender and fled far to the southern Zhejiang area. In order to punish the rebellion, the Ming Taizu did not allow them to settle on the shore. Therefore, the floating family spread their homes on the Fuchun River, making a living by fishing. The nine surnames formed their own tribes and did not intermarry with outsiders.

In the water life, the situation is difficult, and you must not miss fishing, but you must find another side job. Fortunately, the boat is ready-made, so you might as well do a business to carry passengers. The "Jiulilong" area where Yan Ziling Fishing Platform is located has a great scenery. When a poet and poet are looking for secluded, they naturally have to be comfortable. Therefore, the "Jiangshan Boat" is like the "Light Boat" in Wuxi and the "Purple Cave Boat" in Guangzhou, which pays great attention to food and drink. Over time, it has become the "flower boat" of the Pearl River, with a unique charm.

The boat ladies on the Jiangshan boat are all solemnly. They wash the boat twice a day, so they are naturally not suitable for wearing socks. Like men, they wear shallow-mouthed kale shoes, but the production is particularly exquisite, with the toe embroidered, so people in Zhejiang call these boat ladies "Huapao Toe".

This Qingke found two flower pussy toes and took them back to Jiangning, and placed them in a house not far from the Governor's Mansion. In addition to the flower pussy toes, he went to Jiaxing for a walk. In the name of "promoting Buddhism", he invited Master Di Yue from Guanjiang Temple in Ningbo, Zhejiang, and three young nuns who served incense and candles, named Buddhist masters. In fact, these people only keep the four of the Five Precepts of Buddhism, and the only one they don't keep is the color precept!

When these six people were invited to Jiangning, Guiliang was worried about any mistakes, so he asked someone to find Wenpo and carefully examined them. One of them was called Xiaopan's flower pussy toe and two Dharma names called Hanying and Yunying, respectively, were both unemployed virgins. Although the other three were not, they were also healthy and had no hidden diseases. So Guiliang decided to offer them with Xiaopan's three first. If the emperor enjoyed it, he might as well take out the man Diyue and his men.

The last time Sushun arrived in Jiangning, Gui Liang specially called Xiao Pan and the other two out. Sushun was very moved, and it was fine for Xiao Pan and her sisters. Di Yue was four black clothes and green robes, with solemn appearance, and took off her monk's hat, Niushan Zhuzhu, and the incense scars she received was clearly visible. Han Ying and Yun Ying were even more pure and moving, especially the eyebrows, eyes and lips were not as beautiful as dust. He knew that there were some activities in Jiangnan that defile Buddhism, but he did not expect that seeing the real person was so shaken.

When Gui Liang ordered people to take a few people down, he looked at him with a smile: "Brother Yuting thought, what do you think? Can you still get into the dragon's eye?"

Su Shun thought for a while: "If it is a color, it is naturally a southern beauty that is in every place. However, the master's temper is unknown to Brother Yanshan."

"Oh? I'm about to ask Brother Yuting for advice."

So Sushun explained a few words to him. The emperor was rich in all over the world, and he took me away. The ministers came to him and no longer cared about what he came to him! Only those that were like the mirror and the moon that could not be seen and touched could make Long Xin like it. In the past few years, Sushun had also been in many ways, including rouge in the north and beauties in the southern provinces, stored in the mansion. Occasionally, the emperor came here for a visit, but he only had a happy time or twice, and abandoned his shoes and no longer had the same feelings as when he was pampering Niu Niu in the Sushun mansion in Rehe, and after pampering Niu Niu, he gave up his name and flag.

After saying this, Gui Liang immediately understood, "Then, as Brother Yuting said, the little girls of Pan will be placed in Zhanyuan, so that the emperor can discover it himself?"

Su Shun was funny in her heart. Gui Liangli was so stupid that she couldn't speak anymore! "Zhanyuan is the place where the emperor stays. How could there be a woman outside staying?"

"Ah! Yes! I forgot." Gui Liang walked around the room and said, "Then, Brother Yuting thought what should I do?"

After searching, I found a family, which was only a wall away from Zhanyuan. This was the residence of the Grand Secretary Wang Xijue in the Ming Dynasty (Wang Xijue left a very strong mark in the history of the Ming Dynasty, of course, it may not be a good review. Here is a few brief introductions.)

The incident happened during the Wanli period of Emperor Shenzong, in the tenth year of Wanli, Concubine Gong gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor; four years later, Concubine Zheng gave birth to the third son of the emperor, and Wanli liked Concubine Zheng, and immediately became the imperial concubine after giving birth. In ancient times, the mother was noble for her son, and the son was noble for her mother. The eldest son was born, and the mother was not given the title at all. Instead, the third son was born, and his mother won the emperor's heart, so it is very likely that he would be the third son of the emperor to seize the eldest son and inherit the throne in the future.

The Grand Secretary and Prime Minister Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue and others thought it was inappropriate and submitted a memorial to make the eldest son the crown prince, but Wanli was not allowed. His reason was that the queen was still young, so what if the queen had a child in the future?

This can also be regarded as a reason, so the matter was delayed until the 21st year of Wanli. Wang Xijue and others wrote another chapter, asking the emperor to make Yuanzi (the eldest son) the crown prince as soon as possible. The emperor was still not allowed. In the end, Wang Xijue and others wanted to fight each other, and the king and his ministers beat each other. Until the 25th year of Wanli, the emperor finally surrendered and made the eldest son the crown prince, and the other sons were granted the title of king of kings and the rest of the sons were respectively kings. The emperor felt wronged by Concubine Zheng, so he appointed him as King of Fu and the country was enfeoffed in Luoyang.

In the 49th year of Wanli, Emperor Bintian and the crown prince ascended the throne, and the next year was changed to the first year of Taichang. Who knew that it was because he had been the crown prince for many years. Once he was liberated, the heir emperor was indulged in the filial piety and was extremely debaucherous in the filial piety. He became sick after only ten days of reign. At that time, there was a person named Li Kezhuo in the court, whose official position was the Chief of the Honglu Temple. He received a pill of elixir and claimed to be an immortal elixir. In fact, it was red lead extracted from female meridian water. This was a kind of elixir for strengthening aphrodisiacs, which was in line with the desire of the heir emperor.

After using it, the effect was very good. Emperor Si felt his appetite was so strong that he took another pill at night. But the next morning, alas! This is the famous red pill case in the history of the Ming Dynasty. It was the first day of the September 2019. Unlucky, Emperor Si only sat on the throne for a month and left. The next one was Xizong, who favored Wei Zhongxian and Keshi, made the Ming Dynasty even more chaotic and finally hopeless.

When the Kangxi Dynasty was reached, the Wang family had another famous grandson, Wang Xijue's grandson, named Wang Yu (Yin Shan. Any reader who has watched the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty" still remembers the old man who was always very old and devoted to pleading for the prince? This is this person). He was a Jinshi in the ninth year of Kangxi. What was completely different from his performance in the TV series was that he was not the prince's teacher. In the 56th year of Kangxi, Wang Yu submitted a letter and asked the emperor to establish a crown prince three times, which made the emperor angry and almost killed Wang Yu.

*********************

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the crown prince was deposed and established twice, and the emperor was heartbroken, so he came up with a secret method to establish a crown prince. In the 56th year of Emperor Kangxi, Wang Fei submitted a letter to the emperor to establish a crown prince, which was also a matter of selfishness.

The Qing people compiled "History of Ming Dynasty" and criticized his grandfather Wang Xijue for his efforts to fight for the foundation of the country and requested the establishment of a crown prince. He believed that if Wang Xijue and others had not tried to fight, Emperor Wanli knew that all officials did not agree to abolish the eldest and establish the young people. After a few years, or when they were dying, the luck of the Ming Dynasty might have been in a different situation.

This is not wrong. It is just that as a descendant, how could he be willing to see his grandfather leaving a great reputation in the history of official revisionism? So Wang Xuan wanted to do something in his later years to save some of the face of the Wang family.

The memorial was submitted. The emperor said that Wang Xiao was over 70 years old and had already been appointed as prime minister. He was particularly generous, so he kept him and refused to post it. He thought he ignored it and naturally he would be fine. Who knew that there was a Shanxi Dao Censor named Chen Jiayou, who, along with his eight colleagues, jointly submitted a memorial to the emperor to make a crown prince.

Kangxi believed that Wang Xiao had no explanation for his advice, so he ordered Chen Jiayou to take action. He was very dissatisfied and handed over to the cabinet for discussion with the public statements of several others.

At that time, Ma Qi, the Grand Secretary of Wuying Hall of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, was recognized as the Eighth Master Party. Now Wang Xiao actually advocated the reinstatement of the crown prince, which naturally became Ma Qi's enemy. Therefore, Ma Qi wanted to kill people with a knife, so he made many oral orders that were not allowed to be easily made as a basis for the establishment of the crown prince, which convicted Wang Xiao of death.

Kangxi was not allowed, and he personally called the king to the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace. The king and his ministers whispered for a long time, and the conviction was lenient. Even the other eight people had no guilt.

When the emperor's fourteenth son was appointed as the prince, and was appointed as the general of Fuyuan, he was specially allowed to use the Zhenghuang Banner. So the court knew that the destiny of heaven had returned. By the 60th year of Kangxi, the affairs of Anzang had been successful. All officials submitted a letter to the court to congratulate him on March 18th, the emperor was not allowed. Why was it for such a bad mood?

Wang Yu thought about it wrongly, thinking that the emperor was dissatisfied with the fourteenth son and wanted to establish the second prince again, but was unable to make a move, so he submitted a memorial again, asking him to release the second prince. The comment was very intense, and then there was another Guangxi Dao Censor named Tao Yi, who had eleven contract officials, including Chen Jiayou, who wrote the last time, and the memorial was jointly submitted again, with the content being exactly the same as Wang Yu said.

This time the emperor was really angry. The two times before and after, it was exactly the same. The first time he could forgive him for being unhealthy, and the second time he knew it was not accidental! In Kangxi's opinion, Wang Fei intended to make trouble with him and did not allow him to live a few days of comfortable life, so the punishment was very severe.
Chapter completed!
