Chapter 92: Gao Mou (1)

Liufu intermittently argued with Yang Guiren in Changchun Palace, almost drove him out of the palace, and then pleaded for Jingyu, which even more angered the emperor. The queen sighed, "Emperor, why bother? During the Chinese New Year, the whole world is full of joy and happiness. However, the Tian family made it so unhappy and spread it out, which makes people laugh at it. Besides, she chuckled and approached a little, and whispered, "I won't mention it today. Tomorrow it will be a good day for Miss Jingyu. I'm really hurt by a whip, right?"

The emperor was stunned, "What is this? What is a good life?"

"Did you forget? You made a five-year agreement with Miss Jingyu, and it was the twelve year of Xianfeng."

"Ah!" The queen's words reminded the emperor, and she was a little amused and crying for a moment, "What are you saying these words?"

"Your Majesty, it's a happy day. The children are also here to kowtow to you. The servants in the palace are waiting to serve you. Don't talk about unhappy things. I'm sorry, please, can you?"

The emperor sighed, and he also realized that the anger was really sudden today, as if it was for Yang Guiren to give another rude answer, which aroused the fierce jealousy in his heart. For men, the one who cannot tolerate the most is that the person next to him pretended to be another man in his heart, right? What's more, the Supreme Wancheng? Look at Yang Guiren standing among the crowd, Lirong was clear, her cheeks were sunken, her eyes were red, and she lowered her eyes, and she didn't dare to look at him at all. "Forget it, call me in."

The emperor, the last two sat in the middle, and the concubines, as Jia Guifei and Concubine Jin, knelt down and performed the ceremony of the monarch and ministers who knelt three times and nine times, and praised the saint, "I respectfully invite the emperor to be the saint, and the empress to be the saint." After the ceremony, he immediately stood up and sat aside. Next, the children saluted, first boys, and then girls. In such occasions, they were all old examples of Yao, Heaven and Shun, and nothing new.

The emperor smiled and nodded, "Get up. It's another year. After the New Year, I'll be one year older. Zai Li, you are the eldest prince, and you will be fourteen years old during the New Year. But don't be as naughty as before, do you know?"

"Yes. My son remembers it."

"Just remember. You are the leader of all brothers. You must always set an example and show your appearance to bring glory to the Tian family and to compete for your outside family. If you know that you are doing something outside, be careful with your skin!"

Zai Li did not dare to be negligent and quickly met, "Son doesn't dare, son doesn't dare."

The emperor wanted to scold his son a few more words, and gave the queen a trace of touch, then stopped talking, and got up first, "Let's go, go to Qianqing Palace."

The most important thing for ordinary people to pay attention to during the New Year is the New Year's Eve dinner, and the Tian family is no exception. In the Qing Dynasty, the emperor, empress, concubines, and children rarely have a meal together on weekdays. Only during the New Year holidays can the concubines be allowed to accompany the banquet. The so-called New Year's Eve dinner begins at Shenzheng. In fact, the palace has already started to set up tables and desserts at noon. The dinner party is placed in the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace. The emperor has one table for each person, and the table is a "Golden Dragon Banquet Table", and the table is surrounded by a gold-embroidered table. A long table is set between the banquet table and the emperor's "throne", and the dishes are placed on the banquet table, and the emperor will take it to the long table.

The dishes on the banquet table were divided into eight routes from the outside to the inside, including various kinds of meat, vegetables, sweet and salty snacks, cold and hot meals, a total of 63 items, and two pairs of carved lacquer fruit boxes, four su cakes, abalone snails and other fruits, pasta. The positions of various meals on the table also have size requirements for the distance between them. The so-called "abbal snails" are not the abalone and conch eaten at today's banquets. The Emperors of the Qing Dynasty rarely ate seafood, and occasionally ate fish and only ate silverfish and sturgeons from Songhua River. The abalone snails here are a kind of dessert made by drying seafood and grinding them into powder.

In addition to the big dishes, snacks, snacks, Aoerbuha, duck stuffed buns, rice noodles and other snacks are arranged in different places. Among them, "Aoerbuha" is a kind of Manchu fried pasta. In addition, there are four dishes from the north and south. According to the rules in the palace, each concubine has its own dietary standards and is usually held separately. However, the concubines are also lucky to come and have dinner with the emperor. In addition to the emperor's family, there are six tables to accompany the guests. Each table has a total of twenty-four dishes, which is much less than the emperor, and the bowls serving the dishes have been reduced to porcelain bowls.

Everything was ready. The emperor and the empress were in the Ganqing Palace. With the drums and music, the empress and the concubines took their seats. The eunuchs first gave the emperor soup. The soup was packed in a box. The two boxes were combined into one, and it meant auspicious. The emperor's paired boxes were two pairs, one piece of red and white duck waist for bird's nest, one piece of dried rice, one piece of dried rice; the one on the right box was one piece of bird's nest duck waist soup, one piece of duck tofu soup. Then, the eunuchs gave the concubines soup. Although they also used the box, the quantity was half. Each person had one piece of japonica rice meal, one piece of mutton egg paste soup, and one piece of garlic egg paste soup according to the grade, and one piece of garlic.

After the soup is used, the music stops and the banquet begins. The so-called "changing banquet" means that all kinds of meals and furnishings (except vases, chopsticks, and fruit boxes) at the banquet start from the emperor's table and turn them on the accompanying table, which means that the whole family enjoys it together. After the banquet, a banquet is held. The emperor's wine and meals are divided into five rows, totaling forty dishes, and the concubines' wine and meals are fifteen dishes per table. The emperor enters the first glass of wine in the music, and the concubines enters the wine one by one. After the wine is drunk, fruit tea is added, and then the concubines get up, the emperor leaves the banquet, and the music of praise starts, and the family banquet ends.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the emperor ordered that the meal he had eaten, even plates, bowls, plates, spoons, and chopsticks, be given to the close ministers, princes and princes. Let's watch the Qinglong dance together - also known as the Hushu dance - was an early ethnic dance of the Manchu people. The dance was divided into two camps. One side of the dancers wore animal masks, animal skins, and played as animals; the other side of the dancers wore Manchu clothes and played as hunters, and later the hunters' costumes became the costumes of the Eight Banners at that time. The ending of the dance was usually the hunters successfully hunted animals. It was also a repertoire program at the New Year banquet.

During the year, it was the most relaxing thing today for the meeting between the monarch and minister. No one wanted to talk about the unscene things. He only said some interesting stories and smiled at the emperor, "In the eighth year of Xianfeng, Cai Nianci went abroad to take office and went back to Beijing to see him in advance. Once, I invited him to Guangxinglou to watch the show," Su Shun said with a smile, "The drama on that day was also good, it was Zhu Qiaoyun and Cheng Changgeng's "Muke Village". Cai Xueyuan was amazed on the spot. Hey! That ridiculous look, you haven't seen it!"

"What about it later?"

"What else can it do? Is it a romantic story?" Su Shun said, "I don't want to offend someone like this, that is Qi Shichang of Xiao Shouyang. He was originally Zhu Qiaoyun's old fight, but unexpectedly he did the matter of not holding the pipa. How could Xiao Shouyang bear it? He submitted a memorial and scolded Cai Nianci for not practicing official etiquette. Guess how the emperor wrote it?"

This incident was a hot topic in the capital, and many people knew about it, but they deliberately did not explain it. They waited for him to reveal the answer, "The emperor criticized: Master Qi Du is jealous! It's like a dog chewing a bone and being taken away by someone. Isn't it hate? I'm not guilty!" After the words came out, everyone agreed and laughed! Even the emperor who came after Gao Jue's case heard it. He whispered a few words to Liufu, and the latter came down and called Su Shun over.

Everyone saw Sushun's chatter and laughing, both strange and admired: the emperor had decided to expel him from the military office, but he didn't expect that he would laugh at him among the crowd of Choubins without any impact? Is he really selfless in his heart, or is there another reason? But some people think that Sushun is deliberately pretending to be pretentious and can't escape the pretentious ridicule.

Sushun followed Liu Fu, came to the front of the emperor, bowed and said, "Master?"

"I feel so bored. Are there any fun places to go in Beijing recently?"

Su Shun was stunned, then smiled with understanding, "Don't worry, Master, Rong Nu went down to make arrangements, and ensure that the emperor was satisfied."

"No need to break five in these few days."

"Zhe." Su Shun thought to herself that there were only a few days of free time, and she was just giving herself a time to arrange it calmly. Seeing that the emperor had no more instructions, she turned around and retreated.

After the banquet, the emperor stood up and returned to the palace on the knees of his ministers. After taking a comfortable hot bath, he casually tied his braids into a ponytail shape, draped behind his head, wearing only a close-fitting moon-white shirt, sat cross-legged on the bed, "Jingyu? Come here."

Jingyu was shocked. In the afternoon, the queen's words made the girl's heart pound, looking forward and terrified. When the emperor shouted, he leaned over like a puppet like a real soul on his back, "Emperor, slave... today he contradicted the emperor,..."

"I want to ask you something." The emperor asked seriously, "Do you still remember what I said to you back then? I made a five-year agreement with you. In a few more hours, it will be the time to accept the oath." He said with a very loving expression, "I was reminded by the queen today, and I remembered this matter... I think you know that I am very happy with you. I want to keep you in the palace and raise children for the Tian family, but I feel that I cannot live without you. My ancestral system in the Heavenly Kingdom, and the harem cannot interfere in politics. Even though I am the emperor, I cannot violate the legacy of my ancestors. Moreover, if that happens, I will be inconvenient to be without you... What do you say?"

"Slaves... are all based on the emperor."

"I will naturally decide what's next, but this matter will affect your life. If you choose to continue like this, your youth will naturally be fine now. But when you get older and you don't have to rely on you, your scenery will be miserable."

"Don't worry, my servant is not afraid. One person is alone," Jingyu smiled playfully, "I think the emperor will definitely not watch the servant suffer!"

After she said this, the decision in her heart was self-evident. The emperor nodded with satisfaction and held the girl's hand, "Jingyu, you have a relationship with me in the world, and the relationship between you is extraordinary. Don't worry, if I am here, you will be there one day; when I am away one day, I will arrange you properly so that you will not have any worries!"

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

Sushun returned to the mansion by car. Along the way, he sat in the sedan chair just thinking about how to relieve the emperor's boredom. The emperor in the capital had been tired of seeing all the emperors. If he wanted to go out, he would definitely not be able to do so. Since such a big storm occurred in August, the court officials have seen that the emperor's temperament is active and not quiet. Once he has the chance, he will probably run out secretly, so he is more careful, for fear that this master will have another trip to "Qiao Family".

Moreover, in August, there was still a reputation for being righteous, and others couldn't say much. If they did it again, the emperor would be fine. Due to the great defense of the king and his ministers, others dared not say much, but he was afraid that he would not escape the impeachment of the ministers. Therefore, he had to be in the capital and the emperor to taste a unique flavor. How should he do it? All the way back to the mansion, his family, children, and several Qing passengers came to pay their respects to the adults, salute and congratulate the New Year. When it was his turn to come forward, Su Shun's eyes lit up and thought of a solution!

The emperor was young and romantic, I was sick and lustful, which everyone in the world knew, but he had been restrained over the years. He only brought back a widow Cao when he was lucky last year. He was still hard to adjust the piano and the fuss was very unhappy. The emperor was afraid that he had long thought about the romantic years he had been in Rehe and Jiangning in his heart? Su held his cheek and thought about it. The rouge in the north, the beauties in the south, and even the charming people on the rosy field were listed in the palace. How could he be unique and let the emperor taste a different taste?

After thinking for a while, he thought of the solution, but from today to Breaking Five, there are only six days, and it is not enough to be slow and time goes on. But it doesn’t matter. As long as you have a specific idea, people can ride a donkey and find a horse to search slowly. At this point, Su Shun came to his spirit and "pass on Gao Jiu."

Gao Jiu is the housekeeper in Sushun Mansion. He just finished New Year's greetings to the master. When he heard the summons, he came to court again, "Master, are you looking for a slave?"

"There's something, you can do it right away."

"Yes, please give me instructions."

Su Shun whispered a few times to him, and Gao Jiuyi frowned, "This, lord, isn't it time to go?"

"Of course it's too late, so I have to search in the capital in advance. You go to Tanzhe Temple outside the city. I heard that there is another nunnery at the foot of the mountain. My sister-in-law has been there. It's so incense that I think there will be inside. No matter what method you use, I will get someone for me." He said, "As for the matter outside, you have to cook it clearly."

Gao Jiu knew that this errand was difficult to do, but after the master ordered, he had to find a way no matter how difficult it was, so he had to nod, "Yes, Rong Nu will think of a solution."

"Also, those sent to Jiangning should also find those smart and capable people, especially not to disturb the officials. Zeng Guofan is not easy to mess with."

"Don't worry, Master, I can't even know this."

Gao Jiu took the job and thought about it a little while, thinking that he would not be able to do such a thing, and he had to lead the way for the inner people to get things done. However, if it were the inner people, he would not be the master of Baiyun Temple in the capital, named Gao Dongyuan.

Gao Dongyuan was the abbot of Baiyun Temple outside Xibianmen. Baiyun Temple was built in Liao and Jin dynasties, and was originally named Taiji Palace. It was renamed Changchun Palace in the Yuan Dynasty because it enshrines the statue of Qiu Chuji, a real man in Changchun. It was rebuilt during the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty and was renamed Baiyun Temple. At the end of Wanli, a Taoist sect with more than 5,400 volumes was published, and was presided over by Zai Xuzi. This is much more wise than the alchemist who used talisman and alchemy furnace to bluff people. It is really worthy of being the sect of the Northern Taoist School.

There are many Taoist factions, with a total of 86 sects. However, the two sects are divided into the north and south sects, the northern sect Quanzhen Sect and the southern sect Tianshi Dao, which are the two sects. Baiyun Temple and Longhu Mountain Shangqing Palace in Guixi Guixi, Jiangxi. However, although the emperors of the Ming Dynasty advocated Taoism, Jiajing was particularly fascinated by it, but the Taoist priests who were close to Baiyun Temple were far less popular than those from Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi. Because the Quanzhen Sect does not drink alcohol, does not eat meat, and does not live in a family, they are monks, and the Taoist priests who are rich in the world are dreamt of.

It was different in the Qing Dynasty. In view of the mistakes of the previous Ming Dynasty, he abandoned the alchemist. Qianlong did the most happily and believed that although Zhengyi Zhenshi Zhang Tianshi was hereditary, he could never be compared with the hereditary Yan Shenggong. Therefore, Zhang Tianshi's rank was reduced from the first rank to the fifth rank. In contrast, the status of the Taoist priest who was honorable and undisgraceful in Baiyunguan was actually improved.

Baiyun Temple has been a tourist attraction since the middle of the Ming Dynasty. The most lively day is the 19th day of the first lunar month, which is called Yanjiu Festival, which is the birthday of the Changchun Zhenren Qiu Chuji, so it is also called Yanqiu, and some are called Yanjiu, because Qiu Chuji is like the eunuch who voluntarily joins the palace. His self-importance may be to cut off the root of right and wrong, and to firmly ask for sincerity, but the eunuch has no time to examine the reasons. Just because Qi Zhenren also purified himself, he vaguely regarded him as his ancestor, and said Baiyun Temple was the eunuch's "family temple". On the 19th day of the first lunar month, Baiyun Temple

When opening a temple, eunuchs of all sizes have to visit and call on friends. In a constant stream, they have become customs. As a result, there are many fascinating and bizarre legends, the most famous of which is "Gods and Immortals". It is said that the day before the Yanjiu Festival, there must be gods descending, either becoming gentry, beggars, perhaps old women, or children, only those who are destined to meet can meet. Of course, they may also be "turned" into a romantic and ups and downs scholar, and meet a young woman who "ask for sincerity", which has achieved the "rhymes" of "Immortality", and it is also heard from time to time.

Because the Baiyun Temple has mixed flowing elements, its status is far less noble than that of ancient temples such as Chongxiao Temple, Dragon Stories and Flower Temple. However, it has been different in recent years. Gao Xuan, a noble man, often appears in front of Baiyun Temple because Gao Dongyuan was the host.

Gao Dongyuan, whose courtesy name is Yunxi, spoke Shandong dialect. Some people know that he was from Rencheng, Shandong. His family was lonely and cold. He worked as an apprentice in a shop when he was young. He didn't know how to use the money he had lost and could not pay the account. He fled to Luxian Temple in the west of the city to become a Taoist priest. But the owner of the shop could not let him go and had to run away. After several years of separation, or what he was doing, he jumped into the host of Baiyun Temple. This is second, and the most impressive thing is that Gao Dongyuan and Li Lianying had a golden orchid, and they were also the eldest, so he called him "Brother Gao".
