Chapter 3 On the way to the west

On the tenth day of July of the 10th year of Xianfeng, it was the auspicious day chosen by the Imperial Heavenly Prison. The emperor's frame left the city from the south gate of Beijing and served as a three-month grand ceremony in the West.

The eldest prince in the capital was the governor of the country, and among the royal family were Dun Prince Yi, Prince Yi, Prince Yu, Prince Su Huafeng, and Prince Li Shiduo; the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Weng Xincun, and Wei Ren stayed in the country to assist in the government. There were urgent military and national affairs, and he reported them to the country. Other matters were handled by the above members in conjunction with the six ministries and nine ministers.

"My son kneels down to see the Emperor Ama, Mother Queen. I wish Emperor Ama, Mother Queen, good health and return to the court as soon as possible."

"This time I go to the northwest, it will take several months. You are still young. If you have something to do, please ask you fifth uncle, sixth uncle, Japanese master, Japanese master and others. Don't rely on your descendants to do whatever you want."

"Yes. The Emperor Ama has a holy teaching. My son dares not do it like heaven. Please rest assured as Emperor Ama."

Sushun, the minister of the surrender and the minister of the Luanyi Guard, approached a little and whispered, "Master, the auspicious time has come. Please come on the ritual?"

Zai Li knelt down again and greeted him, "My son respectfully sent the emperor Amadengyu." The head of Zai Li, Yi, Yi Qiong, Zai Yuan, Weng Xincun and other ministers of the court, knelt down and sent the imperial guards to start their journey. The emperor nodded, "Okay, three months later, I will meet with all the ministers again!"

Turning around and boarded the Jade Carriage. The 16 horses pulled the carriage slowly started. Under the eyes of the royal family and the court officials, they gradually moved along the official road until they could not see it. Everyone stood up and returned to the city without mentioning it.

From the capital to Taiyuan, there are two roads that can be taken from a thousand miles away. One is to go south first, go through Shijiazhuang, go through Taihang Mountains, pass through Jingxing, and Niangzi Pass; the other is to go through Zhangjiakou, pass through Datong, enter Yanmen Pass and then turn south - the imperial guards are on the back road. This will not cause inconvenience to cross the mountain, but will also allow the emperor to appreciate the scenery of the north, which can be said to be a killing of two birds with one stone.

The emperor's jade carriage frame is very spacious. Although it is just one room, it has both a bed and a bookcase. It is completely free of rest and office work. The various decorative benefits show the wealth of the Tian family everywhere, and there is no need to describe them in detail.

Liu Fu brought a cup of ginseng tea and placed it in front of the emperor, "Master, use a cup of ginseng tea?"

Before he could pick it up and take a sip, he heard someone behind the bookcase placed in a corner of the frame. He thought he had heard it wrong. After a while, another sound came, "What's going on? Who else is there?"

The voice disappeared immediately. Looking at Liufu and Jingyu, they were both frightened, "Your Majesty, you are a slave... I'm confused, don't do anything to your little master?"

The emperor stood up, walked to the bookcase, lifted up the curtain to cover, and said, "Ha!", "Are you?"

Below Buman is Xiuhui, Yinghui and the big princess of Prince Gong's mansion. The three girls smiled embarrassedly, "Emperor Ahma, don't be angry with your daughter. My daughter just doesn't want to separate from Emperor Ahma..."

In amazement, the emperor felt a little unhappy and waved his hand with a calm face to signal the three of them to come to him, "Whose idea is this?"

"It's my daughter." Princess Xiuhui whispered, "Ama, you... forgive my daughter, my daughter will never dare again."

When my daughter begged for mercy, my father felt soft, but his face was not revealed at all, "You are so brave! Have you ever told your mother and mother this time?"

“…”

"I will know!" The emperor turned around and ordered, "Liufu, go ahead and tell the queen, and say that the children are here."

"Zhe!" Liu Fu agreed and turned around and went out.

"If you do things without thinking, don't think about it. You suddenly lost and be a mother, how anxious you are? Not to mention hiding in my car frame. If you know about it, even Liufu, Jingyu, and Xilinga will be tired of you! If that is the case, how can you be able to live in your heart?"

The three children stood up straight, listening to the emperor's scolding without raising their heads, "And you, big girl! How many years older are you than them? Why are you messing with them? If you know about Ama, you will still be..."

"Uncle, it's all the mistakes of my niece, and my niece will never dare to do it again."

"When you arrive at Luheyi later, you will go down and go to the room of the queen and their mothers, and meet and apologize. Do you know?"

"Yes, my daughter (niece) remembers it."

The emperor sighed and asked again, "Have you been in the car for a long time?"

"Yes. My daughter is in the morning..." Xiuhui secretly glanced at Emperor Ama's face and replied in a low voice, "...I haven't used breakfast yet!"

"Jingyu, get a few snacks and give them to these little enemies!"

"Daughter (niece) thanked the emperor!" Jingyu chuckled, took the third little girl's hand, took out all kinds of snacks, poured a few bowls of ginseng tea, and looked back. The emperor looked at the child's back with a loving look, lowered his head and picked up the memorial, and looked at it.

The daughters grew up in the deep palace since childhood, and there were few opportunities to go out, not to mention that they had a job like Zai Li and Zai Ying. In the seventh year of Xianfeng, Emperor Nan Xing also followed him to Jiangnan, but at that time, only Princess Xiuhui could remember things vaguely. Yinghui was still a little baby, and the big girl never followed him. Therefore, this time, this time he left Beijing, was truly the first time in the third small school!

The emperor was reviewing the memorial, but the three of them did not dare to disturb him. They lay by the window at a corner of the frame, lifted up the curtain, and looked out. It was early autumn. The wild flowers on the roadside were blooming brightly, yellow, white and pink, and a dazzling enchanting area. The few people in the fields in the distance had probably been notified by the county. When the imperial guard passed by, he put down his work, knelt down and kowtowed until the frame passed by, and then stood up.

Jingyu patted Yinghui on the shoulder, "Second Princess, don't lean out too much. The road is uneven and it is inevitable that it will bump. Don't fall down!"

Yinghui retracted her sore neck, looked back, the emperor was putting away the pen, stood up quickly, and ran over, "Ama? Why don't you tell your daughter a story?"

"What story do you tell?"

"Just tell... what a stingy story?"

The emperor smiled, "Do you know what a miser is?"

"I understand. My daughter asked my brother. My brother said that a stingy person is someone who is reluctant to spend money!"

"This is wrong. A stingy person is not a person who is reluctant to spend money. It is like Ama," the emperor is not like a monarch of a country at all, but more like a very patient father, talking to his daughter. "Since the ninth year of Xianfeng in the early years of Xianfeng, every year of the birthday celebration, the ministers and workers have called on me to ask the people of the world to celebrate together. But they have repeatedly refuted it on the grounds that the country is too expensive - if you follow your theory, is Ama also a stingy person?"

Yinghui spitted out the tip of her red tongue, "Of course not!"

"That's it. The miser refers to those who cherish finances and do not use it. The sage said that a gentleman uses things, but not things, is this principle." Such words are naturally not something that the old age can understand. He continued to explain, "I will give you an example. If one day, the Chengyi Superintendent of the Ministry of Internal Affairs made new clothes for you little princesses, and Ama took you out to play. When he walked on the road, he felt tired, and he didn't have to care whether there were any dirty things on the road, nor did he care whether the new clothes would be dirty. Ama and you sat on the ground - that's the reason."

"Ama, my daughter doesn't understand."

"Don't worry, after a few years, you will understand it if you get older." The emperor slapped his hands and said with a smile, "I won't tell stories today, let's sing!"

"Sing?"

"Yes, this time, I have an unexpected idea and made a small order to teach you to sing." As he said that, he tapped the imperial desk with his fingers and hummed, "People say that Shanxi is beautiful, with beautiful land and beautiful water and fragrant grains. One finger with his left hand, one finger with his right hand, Luliang."

This kind of music is unheard of by everyone. Not only San Xiao, but even Jingyu also stared blankly, "Ama, sing again, sing again! It's so nice!"

The emperor also made fun of the cheers of the three girls, "Come on, I'll teach you how to sing!"

On the first day of leaving Beijing, I stopped at Luhe Post thirty miles outside the Beijing. The emperor's headquarters had already been sorted out and renovated, and knelt down with the squad and sent the emperor to the emperor. After entering, I had to accept the office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, Military Affairs Office, and the imperial front. When all of them stopped, I was already tired and exhausted and could not be cheered up.

If you can't help yourself, you have to support yourself. If you have such an errand, you will be more than a luxury when you return to the palace and tell me about your merits. However, if the Ministry of Personnel's performance is a big decision, it is a foregone conclusion, let alone flattering Shangguan. As long as the person above relaxes his hands, the silver you put into a bag is enough to be covered in a year.

The three girls hummed the new song they had just learned and ran into the queen's bedroom like offering treasures. The emperor was supported by Jingyu and sat down on the side, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?"

Jingyu blushed and said in a low voice, "This is the first time I have known that the master is so versatile!"

"Ha!" the emperor smiled proudly, "Aren't you? It's just a small song, which is worthy of your rudeness at the beginning and then respect? Tell you, there are so many young masters, there is still plenty of surplus!"

These words were the second time when the two met by the Qinhuai River. The emperor jokingly said to her. After many years, it rang in his ears again. Jingyu was stunned and looked at the man who had already captured his heart with affection. However, he sighed with pity and humility, "Master?"

"……………” the emperor muttered a few words, Jingyu couldn't hear clearly, "Your Majesty, what did you say?"

"I'm saying that this year is the tenth year of Xianfeng, next year is the eleventh year of Xianfeng, and the next year is the twelfth year of Xianfeng, right?"

This is not to be asked. Jingyu was a little confused and nodded honestly, "Yes."

"I can't be a person who breaks his word and becomes fat, so I just want to endure it again. When the year after year, Jingyu, I and you have to follow me, right?"

Jingyu laughed out loud, "You guy?"

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

After dinner, the weather was still extremely hot. The palace was not as high as the Grand Inner Palace, and it was even more magnificent than the pavilions in the Old Summer Palace. Although the decoration was similar, it was beyond the reach of the comfort of living.

He was served by Jingyu and Liufu and took a hot bath. He had only been temporarily suspended for a while. He was not in a long time and was sweating again. He heard the cicadas' singing in his ears on the trees outside the palace. The emperor sat up and said, "It's so noisy! Go out and go for a walk."

"Long live, it's almost dark."

"What are you afraid of?" The emperor ignored it and walked out alone.

When I went out of the palace, I saw Sushun coming towards me, leading several people, holding bamboo poles, ladders, nets and other items in my hands, and arranged them in the yard, "Sushun, what are you doing?"

Sushun turned around and hurriedly knelt down, "I'm sorry to the emperor!"

"I ask you, what is this doing?"

"I know... I know that the emperor dislikes cicadas the most..." Su Shun paused for a moment, probably because he felt that the 'citation' was a humiliating sacred voice, so he changed his sentence, "The emperor dislikes the sound of cicadas the most. Now, I brought people to climb up the tree and catch all the cicadas on the tree and release them separately."

The emperor felt aroused, and it was worthwhile to protect himself. Su Shun, a dog, was just that he knew the truth and had no one in the court to compare with this kind of heart!

Su Shun seemed to be able to guess the emperor's thoughts, and then said, "Emperor, this is not something that a servant can think of. It was only after being reminded by someone."

"Oh? Who is it?"

Su Shun smiled and turned around and waved, "Xiao Chengzi, come here."

A young man in the sixth-rank official uniform lowered his head and stood up, and walked forward a few steps, "Slave Chengxiang, respectfully invite the Emperor and the Holy An."

"Is he?"

"The emperor, his name is Cheng Xiang, and he is one of the third-year students of Tongwenguan. After entering the General Administration, he was highly appreciated and promoted by Lord Wen and Lord Li, and was able to know people and do things in a good manner. This time, the emperor left the capital, and he also followed him." Su Shun said a few good words to him, and then smiled mysteriously, "Master, to be honest, Cheng Xiang is not an outsider. Does Master still remember Shan Kui?"

"Sun Kyu? Which Shan Kyu?"

"It's the one who inherited the title of Prince Jin Jia?"

"Ah!" the emperor remembered, "Shankui, what's wrong?"

"Chengxiang is Shankui's son."

Emperor Yu Shankui only met several times in Rehe. He was not familiar with him. He just felt that this person was disloyal and had a disgusting face. If it weren't for the repeated requests from Jin Jia, such a person would never want to see him again after seeing him once. He never expected that he would have seen his son here today? "Your name is Chengxiang? How old is this year?"

"Reply to the emperor's words, I was born in the 22nd year of Daoguang in the year of Renyin, and I am eighteen years old this year."

"Raise your head." The emperor looked at Cheng Xiang and praised in his heart: Shan Kui looked cowardly, and his son was a handsome man. Moreover, there was charm in his eyes. The man Ang Zang actually gave birth to a daughter. "Well, he was just eighteen years old and achieved the sixth rank title, which shows that you are still a little talented."

"I dare not! The talented people in my subordinates dare not be praised by the emperor in heaven. I just accept the support of the masters of our department, so that we can be today."

"That's fine. When you are in the General Administration's office, you have heavy official duties. How can you do these tricks of using tricks and charm?"

"I dare not! I just want to think that the emperor works hard for state affairs and has a lot of trouble every day. As a slave, in addition to sharing the worries and holidays for the king and father, in addition to political affairs, we, as slaves, want to let the master rest, so the slaves think..."

"Okay." After hearing his answers, the emperor waved his hand without comment and interrupted him, "You guys are busy. Sushun, you can take a few steps with me."

"Zhe." Su Shun agreed, winked at Cheng Xiang, signaling him to take over the errand, and he quickly followed.

The emperor stepped forward, and Su Shun was half a position, bent his waist and followed, "Su Shun, do you also care about the affairs of the General Administration's yamen?"

"I dare not. The last time I was in the capital, I happened to take Chengxiang to the Military Office. When I saw Chengxiang, I felt very kind-hearted. After asking, I realized that it was an old friend." Sushun hurriedly replied, "The emperor gave me instructions to Nucai, and asked me to interact with Shankui. After getting along, I knew that Shankui was vulgar and not liked by his colleagues. Life in this mansion was also very difficult. I thought that if my friends had difficulties, those who could help me would always lend a helping hand to help. Because of this, over the past few years, there have been many contacts in the mansion and the mansion of the mansion of the mansion. But after I left the capital, I was short of greetings."

The emperor remembered that the old man and his father passed away, and he personally went to the mansion to pay his respects. He also saw Sushun and Ronglu's uncle and nephew busy on the side. In this way, what this slave said may not be a lie, and he really has a heart to help each other! "Well." He nodded and said, "Most of the bannermen are now jumping up and down for the upcoming northward migration, just to avoid it for a while. Like Ronglu, Mianning, and Cheng Xiang today, there are not many people who can do their best to think about the court and the king and father."

"The Emperor, Ronglu, Chengxiang and others are all loyal and filial piety in their hearts."

The emperor turned around and looked at him with a smile, "Isn't it because of my feelings?"

Su Shun nodded honestly, "I dare not deceive the Holy Lord with this little thought. After returning to Beijing last year, I became diligent in the interview with Hegonggong's mansion. I was still Shankui's wife and repeatedly asked me to invite me. I really couldn't hinder the feelings, so I just agreed."

As he spoke, he knelt down, "I know I am guilty and ask the emperor to deal with it."

"Since you said it, I don't think it's wrong. I used the law back then, but because during the reign of the Emperor, it became a trend for the court officials to form a party, and I only cared about the party and attacked the differences, and ignored the country's right and wrong!" He said, "As for the exchanges between court officials, will I not allow it?"
